Newbie Essentials O2 Germany for English users

First of all the correct unlock utility can be found on this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33796
The next most important thing is to know how to do a hard reset, you hold the "Communication Manager" and "Voice Speed Dial" buttons while pressing in the soft reset button(that is the small button next to the IR port), make sure to keep holding the two buttons after you press the soft reset. Then a screen will apear to have you hit the green call button to make sure you want to reset. This will format your user info and make you peform the startup tests again.
If you want to load an english rom, I suggest the Qtek one since it is very easy and all the software runs on the computer instead of needing to load files on to a SD card or the wizard. The whole application can be found here:
http://www.beyondthetech.com/blogs/kjam/
The link to the file is at the bottom of the page in the last blog. You will need to have Active Sync 4.1 for this phone and it will have to be working for this application to work.
Have fun everyone and I think this forum is great.

V1605 / WM6 / TomTom Nav 6 - possible?

Hi all,
Have searched the wiki and threads but can't get a definitive answer?
So my question is this....
I have a Vodafone V1605 that is running with its original ROM (which is generally cack but I do use TomTom 5.21 with a Holox receiver which actually works pretty well.
Now, I've just bought TomTom Navigator 6 (latest version and so latest build - can't be precise, but will d/load latest update when s/w arrives).
However, I'm also considering flashing my ROM for a WM6 build (or later WM5 build if that's a no-go).
There's nothing like making a challenge for yourself is there
So basically, is there anyone out there who's managed to:
a) Flash a v1605 successfully with a stable WM6 ROM (and if so, which ROM)
b) Then managed to get TomTom Navigator 6 running on it?
Thanks all - what a hugely useful forum this is!

Mate, as long as your phone is a Hermes, every wm 6 rom works brilliantly but wm6.1 is SPEEDY and some of the newer releases seem stable (its been getting better as the chefs get newer builds). You need to do some research to find the right rom for you as its a personal choice on what you like... DON'T make the mistake of asking what is best as you'll be inundated with answers why people think the rom they are using is best but it may not be the best solution for you...
As for Tomtom, It works brilliantly. Just upgraded to Tomtom 7. If you looked here 1st you would have found it on the site for download. It is offered on the Diamond and has been ripped and modified to work on the Hermes. You still need to purchase maps but it is a hell of a lot better than Tomtom 6.
My suggestion, look here first before spending cash, sometimes you find apps that are as good as or better than their commercial counterparts... There is a hell of a lot of apps out there that aren't available commercially too. Most apps seem to feature here first and then go commercial (a good example is touchflo). Thats not to say that the commercial programs aren't brilliant too and I believe the pittance we pay for them REALLy does help to make some awesome apps..
Cheers...
If you do upgrade your os, make sure you read and do this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Hard SPL is a MUST for anyone flashing roms... It won't guarantee a perfect flash but makes it SOOOO much easier if(and when) something goes wrong...
Also give this a read as you can unlock your phone to allow ANY sim card to be inserted and used - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665
Welcome, and happy flashing....

Thanks mate - all sound advice
First thing I did was to install Hard SPL (2.10 Olipro) - better safe than sorry - but that's as far as I got.
I did try to install the latest (final) official Vodafone RUU 2.07.161.1, but it crapped out with Error 260. I decided to cut and run at that point as I was worried I'd bricked the device - but it's all ok now after a hard reset (yes, I'd backed up my data
I'd be using an err... eval version of TT5.21 and it's been great - so much so I decided to cough for a full legit copy (UK and W.Europe) of TT 6 Navigator.
I'll try it on the standard ROM (WM5) but well, you know how it is, I like to have stuff up to date, so it would be good to flash a WM6 ROM. Oh, this and the fact that Vodafone won't give me a phone upgrade until next October!
So I just wanted to hear from someone who'd done it successfully with a full-fat version of TT6 Navigator running on WM6. If it was running with a Holox BT receiver then even better!
S/ware (and 2Gb Micro SD card) here in a day or two - so will sit tight and see....
Thanks!

tt running
i have latest radio 1.54.30.10 Schaps_WM6Pro_Hermes_4.31_WWE_Lite on my v1650 supercided
tt7 (orig.)) fine runing all m8

tomtom works perfectly on the hermes, v5/6 or even the tt7 version. I have it working on pdacorner pro wm6.1 v15 at the moment and it works fine.
So chill out on the worries and flash a wm6.1 rom if you get a 260 connection error try entering the bootloader manually yourself and try flashing it then, just tick the boxes saying you agree and you have an active sync connection(even though you dont). Also if you download one of the latest wm6.1 packages then the ruuwrapper file is an updated version which solves most of the silly errors that pop up when trying to flash e.g. error 260/300 etc

That's what I wanted to hear - thx mate

If connection issues are a worry however, now you have Hard SPL you can use the SD Card method. I personally haven't EVER had problems with this and I believe its safer as there are no concerns about usb cables being unplugged, reset button being pressed or powwer fluctuations/outages.
To do this,
1).first format an sd card fat32.
2).Copy the .nbh file in your upgrade directory to it and rename to Hermimg.nbh. 3).Put into hermes and go to bootloader screen ( hold powerbutton, OK button above flywheel and rset with stylus. Hold in until tricolour screen appears - This is called bootloader screen) It should automatically recognise the os flash information.
4). Follow prompts..
Easy as 1,2,3,4.
Cheers...

1.- dont know i use standard keboard, never cared about it.
2.- yes you should, the best guide is : download, install, run on pc, follow onscreen instructions.
3.-dunno about the ROM but you can backup your stuff...
4.- install hardspl first, then the rom.

Thanks!
Anybody else know about swedish keyboard?

hi,
i don't know if you found your answer yet, its out there, just go through the treads and use the search option.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381600&highlight=newbie
what i did was:
1. synchronise first with activesync.
2. start with the official htc update rom.
3. install Hard-spl
4. then hard flash. mail-button + explor button then reset with pen, hold mail and explore ,remove reset. then when asked press send ( green phone button ) do this , and when asked do it again .
5. install cooked rom
6. hard reset.
7. synchronise
p.s. putting the device in bootlader mode is fysicaly demanding ( power button +camera-button and reset with pen, two hands!! ) and seems not to be neccesary
tip:
1. there are a lot of good roms out there try which one you like best ( my favorite m-amine dutch )
2. look for a good backup program ( i like sprite backup, backups on computer and device .exe files ) and if you have a rom you like and synchronised and installed all you programs on and configuered the program- and contact tab etc and everything works fine then backup ! then you can flash all you want
and easely go back to the rom you liked .
3. sometimes if you have to many bugs etc. just start overagain
first hard reset, sync and then start clean with the official rom ( so 1 to 6 as described above )
problems i encounterd : no active sync
no wifi
start all over and they vanished.
have fun!
htc touch cruise

FYI: You don't need to push the power button to go into bootloader. Simply hold the camera button and use the stylus to soft reset.
Pezmannen, if you are new the 1st place you should start reading (before attempting to install any cooked ROM) is here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Polaris
-all answers to flashing questions can be found there.
Best feature in this forum is the SEARCH

I don't know how you guys do it deciding which ROM to use. You need b_lls the size of rugby balls. Just reading all the suggestions: And I'm sure you mean well, but it scares me to try.
Good luck!

[ROM] [HP iPAQ 900c] [WWE] BR WM6.5 (21820) newer build!

I couldn't wait until July to release this... new build of WM6.5 that fixes the keyboard issue (but the SYM key still works, which was disabled by Montecristo's registry patch) and the device.exe issue (according to keyx's A2DP instructions)...
WM6.5 build 21820 for the iPAQ 910c/912c/914c Business Messenger:
21820br0609 download here
Known bugs/fixes:
- Right softkey on "Clock" homescreen panel requires this fix by EREZYAD (thanks!)
- I accidentally cooked .NET CF 2.0 into this ROM instead of 3.5. You can still run version 3.5 using these instructions.
This ROM features HP's newest firmware base, meaning increased max volume and other fixes. I have removed the following OEM junk:
- Cyberon Voice Commander
- iPAQ Tips, Help & Support
- HP Photosmart Mobile (and screensaver)
- Snapfish uploader
- HP custom IE homepage
- HP Today theme (and other customizations)
- Google Maps (old)
- Goolge Search (old)
- iPAQ DataConnect
(...since the new WM6.5 AutoConnect feature does the same thing)
This ROM contains the following little additions:
- NumBattery
- GPS Viewer
- Backlight Controller 0.9.5.2
Once I get around to making some new OEM packages for my favourite freeware apps, I'll bundle those in the "m" series next month:
WM6.1 21042br0709m "motherload" - pending
WM6.5 21820br0709m "motherload" - pending
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FLASHING:
1. Get a microSD card sized 2 GB or lower (SDHC won't work) and format it with regular FAT filesystem. Copy my FLASH.DIO to the root of the card. Insert card into your device.
2. Put your device into SDLoader mode by holding VOLUP+OK(button on right side) and pressing RESET. Make sure your battery has a decent charge (over 50%) and isn't connected to any USB charge or sync cable (or else your device will just go into RUU mode).
3. Watch the magic... SDLoader will check the file integrity, flash to your device ROM, do a clean reboot (can take a minute longer than usual) and then go into the "Welcome to Windows Mobile, tap here to continue" stuff.
4. If you run into any problems, repeat steps 1 through 3 with a FLASH.DIO that has worked before (i.e. you can make one from HP factory ROM update using Paloma's instructions posted here)

DONATION?
- I've never made a donation on xda-devs
- I'm not interested in a donation from xda-devs

I'm downloading it

It works like a charm! No bug at all till now! Fast and Stable! Just the Clauncher doesn't work, but maybe it's my problem!
The issue with the keyboard is fixed! Great Job

This would seem to confirm that despite what HP says, the "Rogers 910c only" OEM files are compatible with the 912c and 914c.

I could not make the dump your rom ... I could not use the xip for my roms ...

You can't dump the whole thing because I used keyx flex kitchen; there are too many files to use the old (dumpable) method.
However, you can extract the xip from my FLASH.DIO using this command:
osnbtool -d FLASH.DIO 1 xip.bin
Then xip.bin is your xip; you'll want to insert that into an original 80 MB TEMPLATE.ROM (i.e. whatever you've been using to cook so far) using
osnbtool -c TEMPLATE.ROM 1 xip.bin
Then delete your previous TEMPLATE.ROM and rename TEMPLATE.ROM.NEW to drop the ".NEW" part.

RE: Opera Mini... it works for me on this ROM.
RE: Your app with SMS... try disabling the on-screen message for new text message in Sounds and Notifications control panel.
The difference with this ROM is that it is a new build. Mainly that fixes the keyboard issue, which was in the OS.

Are you working on a multilanguage version?

Which .net Framework is included in this ROM? If you run "Device update" by CRC (Excellent app!), it complains that the .net CF is too old. Never happened to me before....

Oh weird - I just looked and it is NetCF 2.0 (what????) which I guess was put in by my SYS source at ppcgeeks. I'll stick NetCF 3.5 in the July release, promise. For now, download and install the .Net CF 3.5 redistributable from Microsoft.

Dude, the Record button works just fine for me. Are you talking about hitting it once? That shows up as the VoiceCMD button in the Buttons control panel - it comes unassigned, but you can point it to the Backlight control (my personal favourite) or Voice Command or whatever.
The "Record" button requires you to press and hold down the button while you record a voice note.

R3AC036 extracted cabs >>> download inside

i had installed the Rom 3 days ago ... but being completely Chinese and no way to make it English ... I've reverted back to my original ROM...
the Rom feels faster than r3aa035 with increased response .. and the Rom now recognize correctly your touches on the screen as a single touch or a sweep especially in start menu >>> it's so smooth and error free.
i didn't have much time with the Rom but i extracted the cabs for you to try ...
these cabs are the same as our cabs except 4 or 5 programs .
download here
>>> if you find this post useful ... please click thanks button <<<

Thanks for posting. just downloaded and looking at the files, gonna try some of them out and see what will happen.

rubbish. i think it's needed the hole package, couse mine phone now freezes everytime i have missed call needed to reinstall original notif package.

I've either installed those cabs and i haven't had a problem until now, of course, they didn't fix anything, the phone is exactly as it was before, the only diference, is when i receive a phone call, a notificacion wich tells "call deviation active" appears (it really appears in spanish, so i don't know wheter is translated that way), and this is a bit annoying, because it hides all the other options in the screen.
Greetings.
