Hi, I have had to turn my xda trion back to factory settings and now i cannot use my wi-fi or any of the programs i used before. I have been told this will be fixed by an upgrade in the operating system for the phone. I have searched every where to find windows mobile 6 or 6.5. Does anyone know how to find it? Thanks
obviously not one of the incrowd, so no one can be bothered with me

install it from your phone
it won't do it:-( have installed from my storage card and it cam upwith a load of text, i take it, it installed, have paired my phone with the other phone, can send stuff, just can't recieve, the ftp tab or whatever suppose to be there (only going by what other posters elsewhere have put) isn't there. Imust be thick or something
i have paired the devices
so in devices the item is there, in mode i have both check boxes checked, compports(unsure about this, do i need to do anything in there?)
oops i am now experiencing hang ups on the phone,taking ages to do things...Hmmmm
not going to do a reinstall just though.
are there anymore fixes i can try for this, i have saved this one just in case though, xx
make sure 'beam' is on in comm manager and set to receive all in connections.
been having seveve problems since ilast posted tried to reinstall from scratch the copy of 6.1 i have and the screen was going white, so i have updated to 6.5 again, although i hate it, it's a shame there isn't an updated stock file of 6.5 with the look of 6.1 because that would be ace. Love the new connection in 6.5 on/off thing is i am having the same issues with bluetooth with 6.5, it must be my phone??? don't know where to turn now

link won't work for me:-( i have reinstalled 6.1, but it hasn't fixed it. But it maybe useful to know that if you do try a clean install of something, inother words the same on top of them same rom,and it hangs then it maybe worth installing a different one and then going back to the one you want, it worked for me anyway...lol

flash the at&t one before you flash the rom of your choice. It is essential to getting your phone to work well with 6.1 and 6.5 roms and eliminating tons of problems.
also flash using the sd method if possible

no offence but that rom is awful, it slows my phone, the backgrounds are rubbish in it, the different keypads are good though, but i only wanted the normal one. i don't wish to be scathing about it, but it just is not my taste. The bluetooth still doesn't work, no tab, people keep going on about another tab i should have at the bottom of the bluetooth, can someone clarify this??
i must say though., seeing the WIFI and Bluetooth on the screen is brilliant. The today screen is extremely basic. why isn't the start screen editable?? i'd like messages, clock, file explorer, and a few other things but there you go.
i am now searching for another 6.1 to rival the first one i found or a 6.5 that isn't to overthe top
Actually flashing with the microsd card is the preferred way because it's faster, more reliable and doesn't require you be connected to a PC. I think you should read the wiki a little (not meant to be condescending). If you want nice 6.5 roms that don't slow you down then try the lite versions. You will find them all with links to the at&t base rom.
finally tonight i have found what i have been searching for
the shipped 02 software
i am a complete newbie, and i'm totally wondering why no one pointed me at this when i first came to this forum, it has even replaced that stupid Dark vision HTC splash screen...rubbish!!!
It has fixed my bluetooth issue straight away, i know you like pushng the boundaries on here but christ i have spent 5 days searching for this!!
hopefully any newbies will find this post,it for a XDA Trion or Hermes 100 as i later found out and is the software that rolls out from 02
oh god finally.
warr38
Hi Essexgirl. Can you please tell me, where did you find the shipped 02 software? Do you have a link for it and what version of Windows Mobile is it?

I think no-one has picked it up yet as I can't find trace of it in the forum but O2 UK has released a new ROM for the BA, XdaIIs.
I installed it - seems to be all right. Big improvements:
O2 Active UI v3.6.024 -well, seems to be more stable than previous versions
Bluetooth build 3900
Radio build 1.12
Windows mobile CE version 1.40
BlackBerry Connect v2.0
Removal of Photo Contacts
AND AND AND.... are you ready?
WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER 10! I am not joking. I've got it on my BA.
Strange O2 does not list WMP10 in the features of the new ROM.
Download it from http://www.my-xda.com/
You'll need your O2 number and IMEI to accessd the software upgarde section of the site.
Enjoy.

In another thread on here (I can't remember which one) someone who works for 02 said that they've stopped selling the XDA2s due to 'system problems'. Strange they'd do that just after releasing a new ROM :S

chances are that they are clearing old stock for the new xda exec as they now have a new device, the upgarde is just an upgrade, even if they do carry on selling the 2s i dont think o2 have the brains to ship it with the new rom, they tend to leave customers to fend for themselves and if you know nothing about upgrading like us on here, you have no chance.
I have had my XDA IIs for nearly a year now and have been running the ROM version that came on it without too many problems, but i thought i would upgrade it to the newest version because of WM10, now that i have there is a problem with it that is REALLY bugging me; First, i have my brightness level low so as to conserve battery life, but when i use the camera it goes to full brightness which is not a problem, it is when i finish using the camera and close it down it stays on full brightness unless i go to the screen settings and change it back to how i had it originaly.
Does anyone know how to sort this? Thanks
If you look on the Wiki there is information as to how to obtain the camera.exe file from an alternate ROM which you can then copy over the new one.
I messed around with this when I tried upgrading to WM2005.

Its just an exe not a patch
Try it, (keeping your new one) and if it doesn't work then you can revert to original.
Didn't do anything, still got the problem.

I was trying to do the same thing, but half way, the phone automatically stop and now it would not start. It will only show Serial on the top of the screen and v2.07 on the bottom. If I put it on the cradle, the Active Sync could not recognize it and the screen will show USB on top and v2.07 on the bottom. Soft reset, full reset, removal of battery just would start it gaian. I don't have the desk top screen back. I cannot use it at all. Can someone out there please help???!!

Has anyone been able to figure out how to unlock teh extended rom on the Dash (actually more specifically the s620/excalibur)?
The reason I'm asking is I'm looking for a cab for the intent midlet manager. I'm curious to see if it handles the high mem version of opera mini better than teh default esmertec one does. I'm not patient enough to wait for their "fix" I guess
TIA
there isn't an extended ROM in the smartphone OS.
*BUT*
The high memory version of Opera mini works great on my Dash running the S620 OS.
-K
sweet. does that mean you wanna trade!!
apparently the problem is in the midlet mgr tmo usa bundled, hence the request for intent.
thanks tho

Ah I missed that part. I received teh reply notification while I was in the car. Typed teh reply at a red light
I've debated bewteen installing it or not. Here's my reasons why not:
1) I'm cheap. I don't know if I wanna spend the $40 to unlock.
2) This is the first smartphone I've bought from tmo. I'm still nervous about voiding any warranty. I need to research a bit about being able to either reflash to the stock tmo rom or backing up my rom to a microSD like I did with teh MDA, as well as being able to CID lock my phone again just incase I have problems.
3) I'm coming from an MDA that I've flashed probably 15 different times. Its a slippery slope to Phone geekdom once I start.
We'll see what happens, thanks for the tips tho. (Eliminating xT9 would be nice though...
Reasons to unlock your phone and flash the s620 ROM on it...
1. the original T-Mobile ROM is available so you could always go back.
2. I'd pay T-Mobile 40 bucks if they'd tell me how to at least turn XT9 off permanently!
3. I hate carrier branding.
4. You'll get that good java client you want
5. You know you want to
6. You'll be able to use *ANY* ROM that comes out in the future.

My understnding is the HTC ROM doesnt support teh push and hold feature to get teh alt of each key?? I've really gotten used to that now.
that is correct, no push and hold. The only other thing that is wierd in the s620 ROM is when you're surfing a mobile webpage where you can hit a number for an option instead of highlighting and selecting it, it doesn't work. Typing 7 to delete your hotmail works on the T-Mobile ROM but not the s620 ROM. No idea why.
*BUT*
That XT9 irritated me SO much, I don't care what I lose. Losing XT9 is the best feature of this ROM and my main motivation for doing it. Also, you get the native JOGGR functionality back (which is a little buggy and slower than using the D-PAD but I digress).
It is a very solid ROM and the Intent Java client is a nice bonus.

yup. There is no extended ROM on Smartphones but POF can probably answer better than anyone.
I'm saying there isn't... But I've been wrong before.
-Mc
i think you are!
there is other smartphone with extended roms and to clarify to those who do not know what extended rom is ,when its visible on your device it is a folder with all the applications and carrier settings in it ,that when you hard reset your device they are installed,and one thing is to find how to make it visible with file explorer and another is to unlock it to be able to copy the files some where else ,!!!
hey Guys,
I'm pretty new to this kinda stuff and i just got a Dopod 838 Pro, im guessing this is the Australian version of the Hermes, its manufactured by HTC. here in Australia for some reason we have like 3 different brand names for them but their all the same!.... anyways to the point, i read all these different threads with all these different WM6 versions on it and i have no idea anymore which is the right one?!?!?!
i want to upgrade my dopod to the WM6 but i don't no which OS to choose? which is the best atm and why is it so hard to get them working? its not like just a copy of windows xp and you install it?
Also what is LVSW mean or whatever ppl are saying on here lol
Latest Version Software? haha
So yea which copy do i use?
Hi,
I'm using Dopod 838Pro too.
There are pros and cons for all the WM6, it all depends on what you want (more embedded software? more memory?)
As for myself, I've been using XDA Live v0.1 then v0.2. I'm still waiting for v0.3 I have not tried the rest, because I think I prefer XDA Live and I'll wait for kyphur
Thanks!

best thing to do is get onto Hard-SPL then start trying them all out before finally settling on one and lobbing all your crap into it.
I would even go one step further (which I have) and purchase Sprite Back and perform an Update Restore .. this will allow you to flash new ROMS and in one restore you have all your apps back...
The Update Restore function allows you to change OS's or devices and restore all of your applications. (Just be sure to follow the steps every time)

Remigi,
There is some good advise in all of the above. The only thing you can really do to be honest is read all of the forums relating to the upgrade process, especially the wiki!!!! Then once you feel you are adequately ready take the plunge. An extra piece of advise that I will dispense if you don't mind as I am struggling with it at the moment is;
Copy down all of your data settings and connection details - or confirm (via the forums) that the settings that are out here all work and will get you back sending mms / gprs / wap(?) etc etc. I flashed my 2 day old Orange M3100 (same thing as you just branded for UK) and I am still trying to get all of this functionality back properly.
As for which ROM to use..... I am using the one mentioned in my sig block (the second one) the black v1.2. It absolutely dumps all over the bog standard carrier rom!!!
Hope this helps

This is good advice...but what are you missing? I am on Orange UK and it takes less than five minutes to re-enter GPRS/WAP/MMS settings and load the sdk certs and the smsproviders.dll (to get the voicemail notifications) following a rom update.
so whats the difference between them all? like atm i have the standard WM5 Hutchinson's three software on there which has nothing special apart from every time u put a simcard in it downloads the settings automatically.... called network setup or something... but yea.. what the diff between like vanilla and xda and black and all those... isnt it all just WM6?
I just bought my dash, first smartphone ever, and I seen the Kavana video on youtube and found this site. I flashed the Rom onto my T-Mobile Brand Dash and it looked great and I love using the side slider bar. But when I tried to text the keys were laid out differently and I'm not savvy enough to fix that myself and I tried searching but I'm not to great at finding the answer by being a brand new member and a new owner of this phone. Also I tried to use the internet and it said I have no conncection and I heard people say just put in my current ip settings that I use on my desktop but I pay t-mobile 20 bucks a month for their unlimited internet that I would like to keep the same and I don't know how to get that back as the primary and default browser and I would really really really appreciate any step by step process in how to get a correct version of Kavana 6.1 that works perfectly with my T-mobile dash with the t-mobile internet settings already installed or set. I flashed the phone back to the t-mobile 6.0 rom so I can still use it but if I can get an answer onhere i Would love that so I can use the sleek layout of kavana.
Thank you very much.
I found the keyboard thing, I think
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2074399&postcount=1148
After looking around I found this and I haven't tried it but I'm assuming that will fix all of the keyboard problems but the only thing as of right now that I think I might need help in is the whole internet thing. I'm not good at setting ips or anything dealing with it and I just want the standard settings that it came with when i bought it from t-mobile when it comes to the internet.
Thank you.
start > accesories > connection set up. select us, then tmobile then reboot.
when i go to start then accessories theres nothing about connections in this older. if you mean go to start then settings and then connections there a whole bunch of diferent folders. you have com manager, beam, bluetooth, dial up, gprs, proxy, vpn, wifi, sms, usb to pc. where should i go
download v23 of rickys revised kavana rom
if u download and flash v23 of rickys revised kavana rom with opera, u will find the connection setup under accessories. this is also the folder in which you'll find the internet sharing program.
pretty sure its in all the kavana and ricky roms.

Try using the SDA Unlock again and then just run the auto included with the ROM it should guide everything through for you. Make sure that you get the almost white screen and you should be good to go
i ran the sda and succesfully unlocked it again and then ran the auto thing from ricky and got to the white screen and it gets to 3 percent and then says error 270 corrupted

I got the kavana 6.1 original on here and I was able to get the internet working and the keyboard working and so far everything looks good. Is it a whole lot better to get the opera ricky version?

i really this rom update but one of the things that didnt work for me was my voicemail. everytime i tried callin it.. it wud ring a couple times.. that jus end. sometimes it wudnt even ring. it wud jus say call ended.
PS. i have tmo
does it connect to your voicemail? If not call t-mobile and get the local number and reassign it to your voicemail.
If such a ROM exists, i would like to use it to brand my phone to 3 to get the free skype calls, is there such a ROM?
what do you mean to get free skype calls?
You would still have to be on the 3 network.

if it was that easy, dont you think i would have done it by now???
to use the free calls offer, you have to use the 3 skype software, not the usual version.

Sorry but perhaps you should be clearer next time about what you need and why.
You actually don't need a rom you need the software. You might be better off putting this in the general hacking section as I am sure all you need to do is get it from a WinMo based device. Not specifically a diamond.
Hi all,perhaps you may help out here.I have an HTC touch diamond and I'm in South Africa.
Now,I want to flash my rom as well to escape all the problems that are ROM related.I came across this rom:1.94.421.2 wwe,has anyone tried it and saw it is any good for a South African based HTC Diamond p3700.
Thanx

you do actually need to download the 3 skype software, they don't let the normal skype software use the free calls things

the only way to get the 3 skype software at the moment is to either buy a 3 skype phone, or use a ROM that has the software on it already. i also have a kaiser which i have heard has an official UK 3 rom, but don't use it as my primary phone.
3 have said they will be enabling all 3g phones to use their own version skype software later this year though, but i want to start using it now.
nice idea along with me being on 3 - ive scanned plenty and cant seem to find anything
keep reverting back to the Sony if i need it but sim swopping is a nightmare
bookemarked just incase anything comes up

Iskoot is the skype client 3 uses. Works perfectly for me
When I had my n95 on three to get the skype app all I did was go to planet3 on the phone and download skype on that. Im sure that could be done with windows mobile

Yeah it works for the free calls. I left it running on a skype call for half an hour and my voice minutes remained the same.
I'm not sure if there's a 3 windows live messenger for windows mobile. Someone got a java version working but it's a little low res for the diamond. Works great nonetheless.

nice one mate, it does indeed work. i feel like sending you actual money to show my gratitude
edit: ****, i spoke a bit soon there, the stupid iskoot is not persisting my changes to the registry, therefore it is no longer working, despite my repeated attempts to re-modify the registry after uninstalling and re-installing. argh!

Thats strange, maybe it could be down to the rom youre using. Ive tried it on several roms and it worked fine.
The only thing I do is change BackupHost, CallURL, DefaultSKHost and BaseURL to http://mobile.three.co.uk/948, and run the program. That guide doesnt tell you to change 'BaseURL' which could be the problem. Do you change the phone number in the registry or anything else?

i tried it on the reconstructed 3 rom which was probably a bad idea, as the rom is a bit old now. i did change all those values to http://mobile.three.co.uk/948
i didnt change the phone number though, am i supposed to?
anyway i am off sick from work, so gonna try out a few different roms
annoying thing is, it did actually work. but when i exited, it just reverted the settings back to the defaults.
btw, which roms have u tried it on?
edit: yesssss, got it working again, using shifus latest rom.

Thats great that its working now. The link I provided had a different number to the one that came up in my registry so I think 3 changed it, therefore it wouldve been a bad idea to change the number in your registry.
I tried it on Nataly 2.4, Shaks 4.20 and several Energyroms. I think some roms revert the registry back to default after soft resets.
just as an aside, i recently bought a skypephone (S2), this is before i found out i could use iskoot on any WM6 phone.
the version on the S2 is 2.9.18. it doesn't appear to be a java app, but the voice quality is a lot lower than what i get on Windows XP Skype.
is the latest WM Iskoot version the 1.1 version? has anyone tried signing up through their form to see if they have updated it at all? i might give that a try...
3 have stated on their website that they will soon make the skype software available to all 3g users. i'm guessing they are going to do this using java, as how else would they be able to support the myriad phones OSes out there?
edit: looks like 1.1 is the latest....
