Re: Any Updates for CDMA (PH20A) Yet?

Indra9110

I actually read these forums & WIKI quite religiously and have found their content to be invaluable. If not for the tireless efforts of so many here (mamaich, MDAIIuser & too many others to name) we would not see the Windows Mobile 5.0 platform on any Blue Angel devices at all. Nor would we have all of the cooked ROM's, Bluetooth patches, and registry tweaks that have come out of a community effort. I myself have developed and tested software, but not at the level of genius that can be found within these pages and hosted on WIKI.

After reviewing all on WM5 and the many problems encountered and in many cases successful resolutions, the WM5 platform appears to be pretty stable on PH20B BA's.

In my post I was merely inquiring if there is any effort to bring WM5 to the CDMA device. Other than the clear message at the top of the WM5 for BA WIKI page indicating that the upgrade "will not work for PH20A or PH20B1 devices", I haven't seen any posts indicating why the upgrade won't work, if any development is in progress, or if it will *ever* be possible to run WM5 on PH20A devices. Occasionally, a user will inquire as to whether the provided WM5 upgrade will work on their device or how to accomplish the upgrade, at which time a "Read the WIKI pages found at ..." is approriate.

As you can see from my post's signature, you will note that I am quite clear on what device I have and the fact that I have already upgraded as much as I believe I can (except for bluetooth stack 3900 which I have found to be too unstable for my purposes -- "Not enough memory" issue). I owe my successful ROM and Radio upgrades to the contribitors of XDA Developers and WIKI for which I am eternally grateful!

What I do not appreciate, however, is a "canned response" of quote "READ WIKI !!!" from someone who probably seeks out "newbies" in an effort to embarrass them for their own enjoyment. Again, I am no stranger to this and many other boards where I frequently contribute (e.g. EVDO forum, PDAhome, etc).

I urge anyone reading this to consider the next time they respond to a "newbie" or perceived "newbie" with a "Read the FAQ !!!" type response that they try to be a bit more patient and understanding, evaluate the user level carefully, and to provide helpful responses (i.e. thread links or specific information) rather than a pat response. It is only through careful consideration and clear communication that forums such as these may thrive for the empowerment of all.

Thank you for your time and attention! I wish all of us success in overcoming our individual device issues.

I welcome any helpful response to my original post questioning any status of the development of WM5 for PH20A devices.

Intresting reading!

It seems to be my understanding that the CDMA can not be upgraded to WM5 as they have a different hardware as seen in the radio version. Thus unless a version happens to leak there is not much chance of seeing it work on a CDMA.

I seem to remember a thread on that subject.

I understand your feelings about the way some newbiews are treated on this board however we have 2 stickys that point these people to wiki as well as a few contributers that have a wiki link in there signatures.

The problem is 2 fold,

1) Few of the new users can be asssed to read wiki or search the forum before posting.

2) Few of the old users can be assed to update wiki with info that they have learnt.

Thus its gets boring to answer questions over and over again and the best response is read wiki.

Thanks very much for your specific & helpful response; I appreciate it!

I can also understand your response re: answering questions that can be found elsewhere. I would continue to suggest that responses to newbies not be "shouted" in ALL CAPS or with 3 exclamation points (!!!) as was the case in the response I received.

Should any moderator or contributor become too frustrated or "bored" in answering posts here such that they lash out at newbie questions, its probably best to ignore the post for another to answer rather than alienating users. Sorry -- my 2 cents worth. I now consider the matter closed.

With regard to WM5 on CMDA devices; I will continue to monitor these pages to see if an updare does occur.

Again, I appreciate your candid & helpful response.

Hi. I upgraded my PDA2K to the faboulous WM5, but now it seems to me VERY slow. I can't answer the phone untill the 3rd ring! Did I do something wrong during the upgrade?

Thanks

I've been testing this rom for some days now, and by far this is the best one yet, It works like it was ment for the BA, there is absolutely no lagging, for example when using file explorer and you go to the windows folder, it loads up fast, the only problem with it is that the FrontLight.dll does not work, so I cant change the light settings. but thats ok. thanks to who ever put this out there.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Azazel:
This site seems super & very helpful other than the fact that it seems quite a few of us cant even find the software.

If someone could actually supply a working link for this update for those of us who have not yet got it that would be super.

Please dont just post a useless link like all the previous posts please supply a working link for us that doesnt require a password or you can supply the password for also.

This would be very much appreciated thanx.

I can even host it to prevent further frustration for others if needed.

Wonderful WM05 & BA

thanks a lot guys, I just upgraded my qtek 9090 to Windows Mobile 2005. It works well, just slow, but well.

I have radio version 1.12.00, is out there a changelog regarding 1.12.00->1.13.00?

keep on hacking.

Want to install WM5 on my qtec 9090, but have startup problem.

I want to install WM5 on my Qtec 9090, but i got a problem! My Qtec rebooted when I tried to change sim, but on the short reinstall sequence, the device lost power again, resulting in a new reboot, a white screen and the ping that appears after a hard reset.

I have tried to hard reset the device several times, but I got this white screen and the ping sound.

I guess some damage have been done to the software. When i try the BA_DT_Nordic_NorwayRetail_14000_552_11200_ship rom, i get wrong country code. It was bought as an early version (english) in Norway, 2,5years ago

Do anyone have a clue? I cannot use any program for repartitioning or anything ON the device. I can access the files on the device via activesync, but the device appears to not start up.

Thanks for any help!

Hello everyone

First of all, the problem I'm having is that my phone will not turn on completely 9 out of ten times giving this error:

[LGE_security] ERROR: boot image signature

[LGE_security] 5 seconds after power is turned off for Battery saving

I'm having this error probably because I tried partitioning my SD card using ROM manager, an app in the play store which had a function partition sd card

As I had no knowledge of what to do I just pressed it as an idiot and chose some options and since then when I turn my phone on it gives me that error and powers off again.

I'm trying to install cyanogenmod with this app but it needs to reboot to do as such and fails every time as I have to manually power it on and off multiple times before it turning on completely again

Anything I can do about this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Search for your error and you will get many solutions.

Or try to install another kernel or reflash with full wipe in custom recovery.

When you install some mods on cwm based recoveries it leads to a stock recovery restoration. There should be a warning when you reboot then asking you if you want to disable recovery flashing. You must say yes or it will flash stock recovery.

It can happen with superSu zip files, some stock roms, and so on.

No point in calling them on CM rom because dialer codes don't work. You need to go back a TW rom before calling, preferably a stock one.

I have in my possession 2 galaxy s2 i777s one of which was thought to have a charging problem which is why we got the new one. Once i got the new s2 i tried to put the new battery in the old phone and it not only powered up but it also charged. i then put the old battery in the new phone and it wouldn't charge just like before, i keep getting a boot loop where the battery symbol would flash then go away periodically about 15 seconds apart i would guesstimate, this happens for both phones with the old battery, but both phone charge the new battery. I came to the conclusion that the battery may be the problem and set out and bought a new battery and gave the old phone to my mother thinking problem solved, only to discover the problem still existed, replacement battery wont charge same boot loop. Thinking lightening did strike twice and the battery was faulty i returned it and got another one same problem, boot loop when charging or connecting the usb to the PC. I tried the battery in my new phone same problem, i looked at the specifications on the battery to see if they were the same and yes they were exactly the same:

1650 mAh,

3.7 li-ion

6.11wh

made in china

i have MULTIPLE usb cable that are compatible and MULTIPLE chargers that are compatible and i have tried them ALL. a person suggested i take the battery out plug in the phone then place the battery in while plugged in, didnt work. i tried cleaning the contacts on the battery and the phone itself and nothing, the new phone is rooted but the old one however was bricked in an attempt to root then factory reset, i dont know if this plays a part in it, but remember the battery from the new phone charges in both phones and the the replacements dont charge in any. i had tested the old battery in the new phone before it was rooted or had any apps or anything on it and it did the same thing, boot loop.

any suggestions?

im new to the whole do it yourself root and rom thing so please keep that in mind when tossing certain phrases around.

Edit:

ok after searching some more i eventually found out the reason for this was because the battery I bought was incompatible, though the guys at the store said the battery would work for the i777 which it did, it turns out there is something different about the standard of which the battery was built.

Based on everything you've said, I would strongly suspect bad (or incorrect) batteries. You must have I777 replacement batteries. Ones made for the GT-I9100 will likely not work. I suspect that is your problem.

I know I am being a little bit lazy, but does anything like this exist? Thanks

CicleBT for Bluetooth. It is program that switches it on or off with one icon. Then you can map it to a button on your device. |Dunno if it is MS BT Stack or Widcom stack based.

Alright, so I was kinda flipping between ROMs, Hyperdrive, Bonestock, Beanstown, and even a couple of AOSP ROMs. After all that flashing I realized I had a bunch of crap on my internal memory that I didnt need or want in there, so without even thinking about researching it before doing it I booted into recovery (TWRP) and formatted my internal memory.

Oops.

So, since then I have applied the one click return to stock that odins a stock MDK image. I applied the stock MDK recovery. I booted into the stock recovery and wiped and factory reset everything besides doing the reset and delete everything from the settings menu.

Maybe its just me not paying attention but I am noticing something after starting fresh that I dont remember noticing before.

I have moved pictures from my External Memory card back to my internal memory card and I the files show up in two places, /storage/emulated/0 and /storage/emulated/legacy... My pictures in Gallery are also showing up as in two places, even after restoring back to stock mdk, stock recovery, wiping everything, etc. Is this normal? Is it just something that I missed and didnt pay attention to beforehand? I dont remember the internal memory being like this prior to my attempt to format it in TWRP but hey, what do I know... It doesnt look like the files are being duplicated it looks like its a system thing that shows two different locations that are actually the same lcoation but really, I'm too stupid to know better. Is there a way for gallery not to show the same files twice since it doesnt look like the files are actually duplicated but just maybe some sort of internal link from the folders showing two seperate locations?

If I am wanting to restore files from my ext card that I backed up should they be put in /0 or /legacy or does it even matter?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jd1639:
I'm pretty sure they are the same thing. I've noticed something similar on my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gunthermic:
/0 folder was created when we went to Android 4.2 (becuase of the ability to have user profiles) So system need a way to install apps on a per user basias.

The /legacy is for olders apps that are still written for Android 4.1.2 and below.

I hope I got that right. lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ccs86:
Not on my HTC One. Those two folders appear to be duplicates of my entire sdcard.

Can I delete the legacy directory without issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MehStrongBadMeh:
They are symbolic links that directory. As a result, they take up next to no space. Deleting them would be inviting trouble for, quite literally, no benefit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tshelby73:
Do not delete either one. I did that on my Galaxy nexus and deleted all my files they are linked together somehow
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] WhoNeedszzz:
This is correct. They are simply symbolic links pointing to the same directory. No worries.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skoobbarnes:
same issue but doubleing the space used on internal memory

So I have the legacy and 0 folders same size same files. The problem is I have this awesome HTC one mini but stupid none expandable memory. I have not put but about five gigs in my phone, but with these two folders showing twice my phone is counting it twice. Basically I ha e no free space on my phone. Only half is actually there. WTF do I do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
No, they're not using the space twice.

/storage/emulated/legacy/ is a pointer to /storage/emulated/0/

Anything in /storage/emulated/legacy also shows up in /storage/emulated/0 but they are the same file.

If you delete something in /0/ it will also be deleted in /legacy/ which means it's gone. Same thing happens if you delete anything from /legacy/.

It's not counting twice, you are. If you try to free space by deleting one of these, you will lose files you need. Look elsewhere for ways to free up space.
