I installed the XDA developers ROM, and everything is ok except the internet connection through GPRS. I wrote he APN that my provider gave me, (Orange-Isral) is "internet.orange.net.il". No other settings. I can connect to the internet and send and receive emails, but I can't browse in internet explorer neither in the ftxpbrowser. Before the upgrade it worked fine. Also before the upgrade, every time I click on an internet link the QTEK eould connect to the ne. Now it doesn't. Any idea what am I doing wrong? Someone had experience similar probems? Thanks.
Connection settings didn't worked for me too after I flashed the original developers ROM. Even worse after the second and the third re-flashing - autoconfig just wouldn't work at all.
I "fixed" the problem simply removing "operators" section from the mkrom shell script and configured everithing manually then. Of course you'll need to build the ROM yourself. But it's also a great fun.
One problem with the current version of mkrom, is that it may put the operator rom after 81bc0000 if you have too many files in 'files1' ( and then autoconfig.exe cannot find it anymore ).
the lost connection settings probably have something to do with 'defaultconfig.xml' ( which I currently ignore ). I have to fix our own welcome.exe to process that too.
expect an update with many problems fixed soon.
If I reflash the original qyek version or the 4.17 UK O2, would zi be able to connect again?
I flashed the devolopers rom but cant browse the internet...My email and msn are fine just no web access i am on vodafone and i configure my own settings.
Have just used adaptrom to flash back to 3-17-03 awaiting any updates on devolepers rom, It was very good to say the least just i need mobile ie.
I will have a play at the weekend.
Same here. I flashed the ROM on a US T-Mobile unit, and can't surf with ie. Thunderhawk works, but ie is crippled. That defaultconfig.xml file needs to be executed. Is ther any way to execute it manually :?
Thanks.
Have you execute autoconfig.xml file??
I have the same problem, I have put my autoconfig.xml file on the ROM but don't update nothing....
have any one try it....to set connection, favorites on Internet Explorer etc...
I have found defaultconfig.xml file on my Qtek 2020 on \Windows
directory but If I change file for example to add favorites to Favorites Explorer this don't appends ..
anyone have the solution for this problem???
please...
I have upgraded to Big Storage version and everything works well but one thing I really can't find solution after upgrading is the problem when transfering files through bluetooth or infrared. Please help me, I can't find any answer in the forum. Thanks in advance.
you have to install the driver of your BT...
for my magician i used the BTHUSB_PATCH_AKU26.CAB...you can get the file from your old or backup Extended_Rom...
if ever you don't have any backups...you can download a copy from the ftp...just look for the latest possible ROM version available for your magician....
I tried to install the BTHUSB_PATCH_AKU26.CAB but still doesn't able to receive files or send files to other bluewtooth enabled device. And then because of my frustration, I continue to seach for other version of BTHUSB_PATCH_AKU26 but everything seems to fail but there is one version that really worked with my phone. it is located in Modified Extended ROM folder and the files name is Default_BTHUSB_PATCH_AKU26.CAB. It really works. I this helps to someone who has the same problem. Anyway, thank you websinister for helping me.
Objective :
Create an Update Utility based on the Windows Update in Official ROMs
Description :
My idea is to create a ROM that can be updated without the need of RUU we use now. For example, you have Core2.0n version of my ROM and since you installed it, I created another version, for example Core3. In order to update you'd normally have to download the latest ROM to your PC and re-flash your HTC Wizard.
I want to allow you to go online directly from your Wizard and check for new version. If new version found, then automatically download and flash. All you'd need is an Internet connection.
Limits/Problems :
There are some problems about this. This is where I need help.
Usually the PPC turns OFF and then the RUU writes the ROM. With the way I want it, the ROM must be written while the device is ON...and then it would do a Hard Reset in order to complete the Update.
I don't know yet if this is possible, but I am willing to try.
What I need :
People with Assembler knowledge
People with good PPC knowledge and understanding
Huge amount of luck
I remember someone here already tried to restore the Windows Update components. Unfortunately I can't remember who and if he succeeded or not.
I'll search for his thread and post any update.
The ORIGINAL thread is located HERE. Please feel free to join the development crew.
The idea looks cool, it will allow us to redistribute updates and fixes to our roms more easy
But we have to figure out how the windows update feature is working, and how it manages to flash the downloaded update
I think that it downloads the updates to the storage card (in most cases there is not enough space in storage to store whole rom image) and then instructs the boot loader to flash the file from the card (this way it will be logical)
Also that way will be similar for all devices not just the wizard.
So the rom cookers can personalize windows update settings to update their roms trough it (of course separetely for every device)

I think we'll try to do that. However I doubt that Microsoft intended to use a Storage Card for update. This makes me curious on what method they would have used.
Other problem would be error checking...We must know for certain the OS is not corrupted before attempting the update.
Maybe I didn't said it...but I will say it now. My intention is only to flash through the air an OS, that means no other components, like SPL, IPL , radio or SplashScreens will be altered by the Update so no chance of bricking the device plus making the whole process easier to accomplish.
Other idea is to study the way that security programs (anti theft) use they're software so that the data is included in the rom with a simple install.(they say the program will be there even after a hard reset...though i didn't tried any)
I am sad to notice so little enthusiasm from people around here.
This would affect chefs more than regular people but still.
Back to business...
Questions :
Is it possible to flash directly the ROM with the PDA turned on ?
If so, how can we access the ROM directly ?
How to use .pkg ? Can we make use of them ?
Considering the Update deals only with relative minor changes, this means we can leave the XIP out. We can think of new Builds as major upgrades and require the use of normal flash. The big problem..and unfortunately the thing I know less about it's managing to insert the new update in a very "raw" manner.
I am firmly convinced that few people here posses the knowledge to do this.
Please come in front and let's make this thing happen.
I could try to reverse engineer the default windows update but it would take a great deal of time and I would probably get stuck without some help.
P.S. I managed to find the thread I was talking about before. It's located here.
I think is a great idea my friend. However there are many things to think before trying to do it. First of all to flash the new files you shall need to make a pdoc write but i have now idea how can be made via the device itself.
Where are the "patches" being stored before they are updated?
May be the process of hard reset shold be manual. This are only some toughts.
i would help u as much as i can...
great idea !
the update can be on the storage card and one can put the device into
bootloader/update mode by running this little program in the windows dir
to switch it to the 3 color screen.
With this WM5torage program i can acces the romchip itself and write it.
not sure wether it messes up things.
not sure if this will delete contents of the storagecard itself...
another thought... why not make the updatepackage and let windowsupdate install it for you ?
I think the best way to procede is to find out how to make a pkg file (faria seems to know) and then to sniff what the windows update app does when connecting to the MS server and see if we can emulate that on a test server.

All your ideas are great. But this was exactly what i had in mind. It seems the easiest way....only so little time right now. So...where`s Faria ?
P.S. Sorry for late reply...i thought ppl don`t care and i didn`t checked the thread
Does somebody of you have such a pkg file?
As I understand it right, this file will be delivered by windows update to the client?
I never got an Update via Windows Update... Everytime I try, there are no updates available ^^
Sniffing the Windows Update would be easy, I think. I could bet that all this stuff is done via a Webservice. That's the I would do it
Has anyone ever updated anything using that Windows Update? It's highly unlikely it will download a whole new ROM, maybe just some cabs which won't touch the ROM altogether, just mess around in registry.
And who needs to keep the device on while updating if you'd make a hard reset afterwards?
It can even be done now...
any back-up program
a cook who's willing to release ROMS on some stable host (NOT rapidshare where address changes)
a diff utility to download only the parts of the ROM that changed
A small app which writes XXXXIMG.BIN to storage card and enters bootloader.
Much harder task is to get rid of ROMs altogether and take control of the only advantage they give: XIP. I mean, why don't use a tool to convert the new apps to XIP format making them a part of the ROM?
@anichillus
I can provide u with the package but it will take some time..u see i have WM6 Emulator..but cant make it to use Internet Connection of my PC..so the Update manager starts but doesent download (no connectivity)..will see what i can do
i got the internet working..but when i click update..it doesent give any packages..what now
Ok guys, I see a lot of people in here debranding the phones but dont know what they are talking about.
1: All the methods you have listed will not debrand a Orange UK handset, because the files that you should replace don't exist (all the files will start with 'ICON'). So far no one seems to have worked this out or has tried to find a workaround.
2: According to the SE rep I spoke with if you debrand your phone it may cause serious issues when Sony do send down updates to the device, I was told that debranded phones may to be able to be reflashed and may corrupt. When I asked why he said it had something to do with a new version of Android being made available.
I just thought I should let you guys know, and if anyone can try debrand a Orange handset (I will risk it)
Regards
UHAX
1. The Orange files are there.
2. Funnily enough the files used to debrand are from Sony Ericsson and we use SEUS which is also their tool.
Can you please clarify on point 1
Because I have one of these phones and I can tell you, they are not anywhere on my system.
I have tested this Both under XP and Windows 7
The DB directory only displays a number of small files all starting with 'ICON'
Did you update before looking for the files?
Did you use the new method with PC Companion?
There are no updates for the phone
Yes I have Tried both methods.
I am 100% sure.
And I make sure I just searched both systems, the files do not exist.
Any ideas?
Without updating you won't have the files.
Well any one care to make up a package for me, that way I can try force it to use them.
Who is game?
In order to get the files, you can reinstall your current firmware with SEUS, this will make it download the files to your db folder, and you're good to go. Worked for me.

As I have said
There are no updates available.
For the SEUS or SEPC
I have tried both methods.
Thats why I was wanting someone to post all the files!!!!!!!!!!!
you just have to use the REPAIR option. then they'll be downloaded.
No the repair function does not work
Look guys what part of this do you not under stand
THERE ARE NO FILES TO BE DOWNLOADED, the firmware on the Orange handset is different, there are no updates, you cannot repair them.
It does not work, for any of the Orange handsets
Why can you people not grasp this very simple concept, I need all the files to be posted so I can try force the handset to accept them.

Prove that it doesn't work because I can prove it works.
So you get no option to re-install the software on your phone after it tells you there are no updates available? The reason people can't grasp it is because your the only one that seems to be having a problem using the update service.
Well - if you do not get an Repair option using PC Companion - then you can not de-brand. Even IF you get the files they will STILL report as being the SAME version.
And that version REQUIRES you have a REPAIR option.
So NO REPAIR option = NO DEBRANDING!
So getting the files will NOT HELP YOU.
@uhax
Dude, watch your tone this is not the customer support hotline.

Well I debranded mine and its working beautifuly!
Now the unlocking is another thing...
Well I can assure you it does not work with the Orange handset from the UK
I have now tested it with the White and Black Models and both have the same issue.
When you try to use the repair function it fails and returns an error, when i check the directory its just full of small files all starting with ICON.
It seems like the Orange handset are using a different firmware set, this firmware cannot be downloaded from Sony using there applications, so my request is that someone post all the needed files to do the flash, ie everything in the DB directory.
Download files with SEUS.
Uhax this does work on UK supplied Orange handsets, it worked on mine perfectly. Download SEUS, connect the phone and check for update, it will say there is no update but will give you the option to reinstall the current firmware, do that and it will download the files.
Hi folks,
I'm looking for a solution to a problem I found in one of my software.
I use the phone as a standalone datacollector. He is sent to one location and nobody sees or interacts with it.
I found it interesting to use Android, because it is reliable and easy to program, in addition to the hardware features necessary for my application.
I have 200 Galaxy S5 devices for that application.
The problem is that from time to time some of them decide to lose contact with the modem / SIM card.
The only solution I found is to turn off and on the data connection. The problem is that even with the rooted device in and asking for permission to manifest for android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS, when I try to change the data connection, I get a system message saying that I'm not allowed.
What should I do? Has anyone tried any solution for this?
I heard that I need to have the signature of the phone's firmware to be able to sign my software with the same key. Really?
Please do not suggest changing the APN settings to turn off and on phone data. This does not solve my problem... i`ve tried.
Thank you!
Many setprop as a terminal command or some how edit the database in settings provider
great idea, but how do you think i'll be able to tell the system that i've changed the file or the database? a reset?
