WM2003 & T-Mobile ???

Anyone have a ROM of WM2003 that works w/ T-mobile USA? I tried about 5 and no luck. XDA dev Rom works great and so does my old one, but can't find a 2003 rom that works. All either hang at the boot/welcome screen or don't boot.
--Mike

So far I have tried 3 different 2003 roms.
The first the "O2" rom loaded, but gave me some intermittent problems.
The second “For Testing Only” rom worked great. Only one small problem with Microsoft reader. I most likely wouldn’t have changed except that the new ROMkitchen got me more excited than it probably should have.
Now I am using the ROMkitchen version very happily….(same problem with the reader though)

Interesting because I tried the ROMkitchen version yesterday and got the same, hangs on welcome screen result. Did you do anything special other than put it on SD with XDArit? I have Wallaby 5.15 bootloader which I think is what the unit shipped with but from what I've read this is fine.
I'm just at a loss because I've tried most everything I can think of. Which file type did you select from the ROMkitchen? I grabbed the nb1. Should I try NBF? Does it matter what I put in the "header string" at the bottom of the ROMkitchen page? I noticed when I try to upgrade it says my device is PW10B1. Does that matter?
Maybe you can post or email me your ROM and I can try that today.
--Mike

I didn't use the SD card boot with the Kitchen rom version. I had the Kitchen create an .exe file and let it load through usb. I actually did it 2 times...and it worked both times. Just did it the second time after they fixed PocketMVP.
I will e-mail it to you if you want, but I think that you should try creating an .exe through the Kitchen first...since that is what I would e-mail anyway.

The Hang that you see may be caused by the simtoolkit loading on startup. Try removing the link in the windows startup folder. that may help

My fellow T-Mobile WM2003 users, I have been using all 3 versions successfuly with no freezups. There is a little trick that increases stability when on the US networks:
Go to your \Windows\StartUp\ directory and DELETE Ussd.lnk and STK.lnk.
These are autoconfiguration apps that work with European providers but do nothing for the T-Mobile network; so much so, that with the T-Mo original ROM these apps were not used at all.
When these apps run in T-Mo's (Cingular's) network here in Los Angeles area, I've even experienced random cold resets when switching cell sites.

Ok, sounds like that's the problem then, but how do I remove this from the startup if I can't get it to go past the welcome screen? Can I bould a ROM in the kitchen w/o these options? I only saw an option for where to "move" these apps and not an option to not have them installed at all.
--Mike

Sorry, the kitchen doesn't allow you to do that. If you know how, you can burn your own rom and exclude these items. Anyone know what ussd is for? As mentioned, i have deleted the toolkit link and have not had any problems, just curious as to what ussd is.

Now it does...
Check the new 'Remove 'stk.lnk' from Startup folder' option. If someone tells me what ussd is and why it's bad, I'll add it to the remove list for this option...

Tried the new ROM w/ stk.lnk
Ok, I tried the new ROM and still no luck. Tried it as both .exe and as a SD flash and get the same net result. System hangs after bringing up the radio stack version and OS version as well as the third number which is: G324e4.
This device flawlessly runs the 3.17 xda ROM as well as T-mobile 3.14 so I don't understand why it will not take any 2003 ROM successfully. Any more ideas?

USSD
Unstructured Supplementary Services Data
USSD is a means of transmitting information or instructions over a GSM network. USSD has some similarities with SMS since both use the GSM network's signaling path. Unlike SMS, USSD is not a store and forward service and is session-oriented such that when a user accesses a USSD service, a session is established and the radio connection stays open until the user, application, or time out releases it. This has more in common with Data than SMS. USSD text messages can be up to 182 characters in length.
STK is for SIM ToolKit - It should not cause any problems unless you have a really old SIM Card.
I think USSD is basicaly a thing for ie. GSM banking - it allows the network to send you binary SMSes deciphered by the SIM (when I login with my GSM key to a bank account, I receive a message with temporary password, it is not sent through ordinary SMS, but delivered to the SIM toolkit area which is protected by PIN)

xda-developers,
might be a stupid question but, i checked the command to remove stk.lnk from startup in (one of the reigstry hacks) and the command is the same as to add object. how do u remove it from startup, is it based on the file name. this one has rmobj extension.
thanks

Magician and Blue Angel GPRS “Cannot Connect” Fix

After watching for months the issues that many have suffered over this problem, I finally found a solution that will fix all the woes.
A few months ago I was one of the many here that upgraded to 1.11 ROM, had the problem. It drove me crazy to the point that I went back to the 1.06 ROM that was rock solid. Well the other day I did a hard reset to have a clean slate. While looking at the Extended ROM I saw the file DefaultV_1.12 in the EXT Rom (Compared 1.11 ROM on FTP to my device). This was the same file that a XDA developer member had modified to somewhat solve the GPRS problem a few months ago.
At this point I had a hypothesis, so I pulled the same file from the older 1.06 ROM which was rock solid and did not have the “Cannot Connect” problem. In this EXT ROM it is named Default_Version_WWE_106150.sa.CAB.
Installed it first on my Blue Angel as a guinea pig, then for the next three hours I would sit there and disconnect and reconnect. I did it manually by holding the red button to disconnect, then I would reconnect to another webpage, then would have a call come in while in the middle of the GPRS session which would suspend it. After done with the phone call I would reconnect manually by clicking connect as well as by just hitting a link on the webpage.
The Results: No “Cannot Connect” problem.
So off I went to my Magician:
Upgraded to 1.11(I have 850 JAM)
Installed Default_Version_WWE_106150.sa.CAB
Put the phone through its paces, I have been disconnecting and reconnecting without a single problem. I receive phone calls that suspend the GPRS session and I am able to reconnect without a problem. Activesync is able to make OTA connections without a hitch.
During my trials I used the same programs:
Which included:
Photo Contacts(newest version)
Activesync
WEBIS Mail 2
xVbar
PocketZenPhone
Regking 2003
As the only variable throughout the trials was Default_Version_WWE_106150.sa.CAB
This is the solution folks.
At least until someone says it does not work.
Installation Steps:
1. Download CAB that I have attached.
2. Copy over to device
3. Install
4. Soft Reset.

1st of all let me say this is a great site for the HTC devices, I found it years ago when i had the first XDA (Wallaby i think) and now i own a O2 Mini.
I have just installed your patch and i'll let you know how it goes.

I wonder if this patch does the same as the "downgrading" of the caller id as detailed in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=20428
The downgrade has been succesful for blue angel users too.

Many thanks for posting this information.
For a relative newbie like me who has never manually fiddled with ROM files, can you please explain what I actually have to do to "install" the CAB file, i.e. in which directory on the device do I put it, and how do I run it?
- Peter

Once copied over to the device just place it where you can find it using the file explorer. Once located using the file explore simply click on it and it will install on its own. Do a soft reset and enjoy.
Crisscross: The Photo Contact solution that people have found only alleviates the problem a little, not entirely.
In my trials it has solved my problems completly. I wish for other members who try it out to report back as well to see whether all my trials were just a fluke, or our solution.

don't work for me
don't work for me. same problem as before, can't connect due unknown reason.
thanks anyway.

Orcas what is your ROM?

The downgrade of caller-id to an earlier version has also solved the problem totally for me and several other people, both blue-angel and magician users. Thats why I was curious just what your patch did. Seems that it is something similar, you are maybe downgrading more of the rom?
Did you try downgrading of the caller-id first? Not just photo contacts but downgrade to the specified earlier build of caller-id?

Hi there,
Just thought I'd report that I've just installed it. My ExtROM now reports as 1.06.150 WWE.
And... so far, so good!!! I've connected/disconnected to GPRS multiple times, interrupted GPRS with a phone call and then reconnected, have sent files to my device via BT while GPRS is on, and still no problem. It's looking very good!!!
And I'd swear it connects faster than it did previously.
Anyway, I'll keep hammering at it over the weekend and report back on Monday.
Thanks again randomshots!

Well, I'm back already, because I still have the problem. DARN IT!!!!!! :x
The thing that made it happen was that I made a phone call while GPRS was on. When I ended the call and tried to reconnect to GPRS, I got the blasted error. So it seems that receiving a phone call does not cause the error to happen, but making a call does. At least for me.
Oh well, it was worth a try. Back to the drawing board.

Same problem in Hong Kong
I upgraded to ROM v1.11 a few days ago and since then I have the GPRS connection error after 1 or 2 connections. Soft reset will solve the problem. This problem was not encountered at all before the ROM upgrade. It must be the new ROM that mess things up!

As this "default cab" from an old rom seems to solve the problem and also an older version of caller-id solves it there is probably something wrong in the communication between caller-id and some of the customisations from this cab on newer roms. Btw the problem is also in 1.12 roms.
Nice too see that we have two possible solutions here, I will stick to the downgrade of caller-id as it has solved the problem totally for me but it would be interesting to know what the real cause is...

Hi again. Just to answer the previous question to my post: my rom version is 1.12.00 WWE, radio 1.12.00, extrom now says 1.06.150. i think the only thing this cab changes is this rom number, nothing else
orcas

orcas,
I believe you are absolutely right. When the extended rom has finished installing the programs, it runs this .cab file to 'brand' the Magician with the build number. Nothing more or nothing less. But faith can move mountains, as we all know...

I guess some of you know that there is another (older) thread about GPRS problems. If you do not, there is a link below.
Anyway, I finally tried the most recent suggested fix in that thread (downgrading the device's CallerID program to an earlier version) and like a number of others I can happily report that so far, it has fixed my GPRS cannot connect problem. Looking good.
Here is the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=20428
- Peter

Just thought I'd share that the second fix I tried (downgrading CallerID) has continued to work for me. I have no more problems with GPRS. All is well with my Magician. At last.

Sprint rom mms failure possibly due to Programming menu change

The diagnostic menu access and settings on the nexus 1 sprint rom for eris have changed providing only network selection type and some pretty cool battery stats.
This menu before provide a managery of localized network settings and changes that are no longer there or accessible by the verizon diagnostic number. If anyone knows what files in the rom are directly related to this structure change in the rom please post it here because i have a feeling its tied to the mms issues everyone is having. Its pretty much the only thing thats apparant as a physical change on this rom.

Thank you for your hard work in getting this fixed. Wish I had the time to help you out a little more.

We'll i've about exausted comparing files and swaping them out on my phone, i mean it shouldn't be this hard 2.1 is 2.1.

Yes but if your using a legend Rom than its a gsm ROM, so I believe this is were the mms problem is coming in to play.

I think he's talking about the sprint port from heroc. We're missing like one small part either about APN or some settings or something

Yeah, we're just missing something tiny, its working sorta on my build but not up to real usability yet.

can you elaborate on how you kinda sorta got it to work? I've noticed when sending there is sometimes a spinning data connect looking thing at the top as well. If you have any heads up i'll look into it.
And the apns-conf, i cracked open a nexus 1 rom and ripped out the file and theres verizon wirelss carrier settings in it. No go with that either. So it has nothing to do with the apns file or the mmsmmc or whatever file some people have noticed.

Pulling the APK's from the Eris 2.1 rom and putting them in the legend build got inbound going and sometimes it'll send outbound. I've still not worked out whats the last issue with it though.

I tried pushing the stock Mms.apk and .odex from eris into /system/app running aloyisous 4.1 and now my phone is stuck in never ending boot up. any ideas for a quick fix or do i have to reflash?
Edit: Fixed with a flash without wiping.

does mms work this way? I tried doing that for building the rom and it stuck at hung at bootscreen then finally got through then FC 1000 times

i pushed the stock mms and had no change in results, none at all, even though its a different file size. See mms.apk is the text messaging app, not the config file. We need to look beyond the app, the apns confg and whatever else is out. Or we'd have figured it out.
You said you partially got it working where ti sometimes works. What exact files did you copy to sometimes get this too work because i've yet to have 1 file go through.

MMS never worked on the 1.6 ROMS (T-mobile based) made for the HTC Touch on Verizon and other networks, afaik they still don't have it working.

found another adb file inside of framework-res.apk under /res/xml
but even though it says verizons link inside instead of sprints still no go. But i did received a "cannot send message not found" error after doing it only on picture outgoing. Maybe thats a heads up of where to start? Maybe that file in combination with another inside the framework folder is the key too all this.

Try this:
Load up a normal 2.1 ROM that MMS works for.
Download APN Backup & Restore.
Use it, Backup APN's.
Load up your Sprint ROM.
Download and open APN Backup & Restore.
'Delete APN's'
'Restore APN's', and choose the APNs that you backed up from the normal 2.1 ROM.
Your APN's may be very close, but this will make them E-X-A-C-T.
I'd be curious to see if this will fix.

You should read the forums bro, we've be explicitely dealing with apn file versions with no effect. Pretty much the first thing all of us tried.

If you know of another way i can send it to you i will ......
just curious, what personal info might be in this file ? any, or is just the generic VZW settings ??

you could email it, i think you can attach anything using the mail app off the sdcard but since I don't know what files it generates i'll just wait till im home. I think i can manage 4 hours of having to do work and not picture message.

[SOLVED for now] [Q] I just ran out of clues..... dataconnection OR sound

wow. by now I think I've tried everything I could find in almost every thread... but.. I just can't get the combination of a working data connection together with keeping the sound after sleep..
When I use NRGZ28's minimal WM, I have a working dataconnection. but after my phone has waken up from sleep my sound is completely gone.
When I use Chuckyrom, my sound keeps working all the time but I have no data connection. I've tried with the 24th zImage and modules, the rootpppfix posted in MattC's thread as well as the RMNET without luck. I also tried to copy the telephony.db to the providers.telephony database, with that I resolved the error appearing at the apn settings but still no connection. Have tried to delete apn's with the apn backup & restore, then manually added my apn, and the 3G icon appears.... but no connection..
It happens with every build by the way.
What am I missing guys, who can give me the golden solution?
I'm on Vodafone in the Netherlands, Radio 2.12.50.02 and the above ROMS (also tried a Miri ROM, no data connection)
I really respect the devs of all those builds, great job!!
Thanks in advance!
Greetz, San

Ok.. right now I've searched, searched and searched some more..... nobody in here with a solution? I've tried everything right now..
however, got it working just 1 time, with the Energy minimal WM and Bangsters RC1 CM6... Had both sound and dataconn, even after sleep. but rebooting, and the connection was gone again, as well as sound after sleep.....
I'm running on radio 2.11.50.20 right now, since most of y'all say that's the most stable radio..
Anyway, I'm not giving up..... and will search even more again....

With Artemis HD2 v30.0 (NLD), on first boot I had both again, sound and 3G, but after reboot only sound, no data connection.....
BTW, before flashing I use Task 29 to completely empty my phone and format my SD (8GB SDHC) with 32K cluster format. I'm booting Android with the Exceller Android Loader

Are you formatting the SD card?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Yes, and with different methods as well, simpy within Windows 7, within WM6.5, tried a few WM format tools. also tried a different SD card, same outcome..

with NRGZ lite rom i have the same issue of the sound not working after sleeping. SO far what has worked for me is *NOT* to let it auto boot into android and doing it manually. Before I boot I have to make sure my audio is working in windows as I notice it stops working there also. If its working it will be fine in android for me.
I would love to finally resolve this issue also!
Good luck

THANKS. that also works for me, when rebooting without SD card inserted, then in WM inserting the SD card and run Android solves it. would be nice to not having to do that but hey, how often do I need to reboot.... is there a way to disable the autoboot in NRGZ Rom? Can't find it in the start-up, I guess it's somewhere in the registry..
speed is also nice: 3361Kb/s DL and 1053 UL (using the PPP-rootfix)

Do the following Steps:
Go into Settings
Select Cellular
At the bottom screen select "add apn"
Type "wap.cingular" in the APN field
Press the check sign to save.
Soft reset your phone and you should have data access
Also make sure you have "Data connection" On

I have the exact same issue. Down to even the same radio. Has this issue been resolved with the APN? I have no problem with data just MMS. I can neither send nor receive.
I tried:
wap.cingular alone and with the [email protected] CINGULAR1 username and password combination
proxy
ism.cingular
isp.cingular
I checked my girlfriends Samsung WinPhone 7 config on AT&T and it lists no APN settings at all yet MMS works without issue.
I am at a road block here and MMS is something I use for work almost daily. I would really hate o have to go back to WinMo 6.5.
Thanks for your time everyone,
Mike

Always use Connection Setup when setting after a hard reset or new flash. Do manual setup if no other work around. The new ROM's have a new database of carrier settings to automate connection setups.
