As far as I know there's no way to update using a SD card.

You really should take your phone to anyone who knows his way around with pcb's. The USB hasn't got a lot of connections, so repairing could be quite easy. Unless of course you fried some electronic parts.

That would be GREAT! Crossbow Reloaded actually worked better for me. My problems with r2a are often related to it hanging. Even though I deleted the problem shortcuts as directed, they reappeared several reboots later as someone else mentioned. I just find it hanging altogether more often, and it is a little harder on the battery consumption than CR was for me. They are both great, mind you, but CR was more stable for me.

Hello mfrazzz & everybody,

I tried installing WM6 but I don't think it worked.

When I cold boot up I see the BSG HTC screen and then the tachometer screen,

but then I see the regular Cingular WM5 screen. There are no extra programs or

any difference whatsoever.

Under Device information:

ROM ver. 2.25.11.1 WWE

ROM date 5/11/06

Radio ver. 02.25.11

Protocol ver. 4.1.13.12

ExtROM ver. 2.25.11.102

It is a Cingular 8125, G3 I believe, CID locked.

(I tried unlocking it by trying to install button 1.05... failed every time)

Am I correct in assuming the WM6 is not installed? I tried searching this & other

threads but it's like looking for a single snowflake in a snowstorm...

Thanks, johann

gprs attach problem still exists :(

Hi,

mengesb, Thanks for the reply in any way. I tried every radio rom available at the xda with xda 2.0q. Problem still exists :( That is, once booted, gprs works as expected. several hours later, G (or E) sign disappears and an x (no gprs service) appears at the top. After that, it is impossible to re-attach to the GPRS (the only way is to restart the radio or perform a soft-reset).

The strange thing is that, I absolutely have no problems with GPRS (attaching, reattaching) with another rom (NBD 7.x) I tested last night. Although G/E sign disappears after several hours, it successfully reattaches to the GPRS and performs operations (such as sending/downloading MMS, browsing the web etc) without restarting radio or doing a soft-reset.

If only that gprs thing had been working, this rom would be my prima .. :(

I know most of the users are greatly satisfied.... Thanks mfrazzz for this great rom.

Cheers,

Orhan

VoIP Setup Instructions

Thanks to joaosousa for the following steps!

!!! Only Tested in a Wifi network !!!

* Install the wm6voip.cab.

* Restart your Wizard (Soft Reset).

* Go to Start > Programs > Accessories and open SIPConfig Aplication.

* Insert your VoIP account information. (See example below)

* Restart your wizard (Soft Reset).

* Now you should be able to use VoIP, check the status of the service in the today screen.

where is the 'accessories' ? I'm in start>programs> but no accessories. I don't have a SIPConfig app either. I did install the .cab file (did a soft reset as well)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] niftydl:
The cab apparently does not actually create Accessories or put SiP Config there. You can manually install the sip config application, do a search on the forum, then you can put in the settings. I have gotten Voip to connect, but when I dial all sound comes out of speakerphone/headset, which makes it impossible to use. Still trying to figure this out. There is a huge VOIP discussion in the general forum.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] razorseal:
yeah I read that problem of yours here somewhere (or maybe it was someone else) I'm really curious on the performance though. (it doesn't work unless its wifi I hear too so that kinda kills the point but meh lol)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] niftydl:
Edge simply does not have enough bandwidth to handle the voice codecs used by WM6. The only real use for Voip (and my current intent) would be to make international calls using wifi (a LOT cheaper) than phone cards, landline, or ATTs international rates. The other neat feature is the ability to get a virtual number in another country, so people calling your virtual number call locally.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] razorseal:
ahhhhhh :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
The main bug fix was to get rid of the slow boot and windows folder issue in v1. The real change is mentioned in this quote from the first post

Wanted to take a moment to thank mfrazzz for his amazing work...I've been procrastinating about going to wm6 because I did not want to have to fight with making internet sharing work under linux...the rom worked without a hitch...I did notice one thing I'll mention....I installed shozu so pictures taken with camera auto upload to my email....this worked on wm5...on reboot it installs a small app to monitor the camera...got an error message and uninstalled shozu...definetly not a show stopper but figured I would mention it in case anyone had suggestions.

I have considered Skype, but the 7 mb footprint just seems excessive. I also believe that it has similar speakerphone issue described in the VOIP thread. I will give it a shot though. Thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Andre Koster:
I agree it's big, but it works. The speakerphone issue can be circumvented in two ways. You can use a wired headset, or you can use a BT headset and redirect your PPC sound to the BT headset with this little tool. I use both methods, and it works.

For me, the added benefit is that I was already using Skype on my desktop PC, so I already had my Skype contact list available. Also, Skype doesn't care about being logged in at more than one computer.

I was a longtime user of MagicButton, but with WM6, I hated how it screwed up the top menu bar with the colors. So I switched to Wisbar Lite. Its not free but only a few $'s and I really like the functionality and its under current development (so they have released fixes for WM6 to fix the menu bar color issues it had when WM6 came out). Very small and lite, so I like it :) Taskmanager shows it using only 48K of memory...

Here's some screenshots showing it. Wisbar Lite (as I have it configured) is simply the triangle in the menu bar (You can have it show running app icons like magic button too). Second image shows the drop down menu when you click on the triangle. The third image shows how the Start Menu can be set to have cascading menus

Can you please help me with this, I really want to try this rom you provided, also I am quite new to this stuff but since last three days I read some stuff about the roms etc. so I know atleast that my device is XDA mini S is a G4 device because my IPL/SPL is 2.xx.xxx.1.

.net that comes with wm6 has bug. Upgrade to SP2.

mfrazzz,

I emailed the folks at oggsync.com to find out why all the google calendar sync programs had stopped working when I upgraded to WM6...their reply was "You need to upgrade the .NET to SP2. The one that came with WM6 has a bug." If that is the case, for XDA 2b you may want to include the latest version in the rom?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Yeah, I looked at vbar and its the smallest of these types of apps, but there was something I didn't like about it. I don't think it had a way to do a soft reset via its menu (I like that feature in Wisbar Lite and Magic Button). I have Wisbar Lite setup so if you press and hold the triangle it will do a soft reset. Very handy.

Yes I know you can put a soft reset button in the sys tray but I got used to having this with Magic Button (and most of the time I don't have Systray active, but I've turned it on recently with XM6r2a via BatteryStatus).

Also, I don't know if you can see it well, but Wisbar Lite also puts a Battery indicator along the very top of the screen. When unplugged its a green bar for battery remaining and red for how much has been used. Its only 1 or 2 pixels high so doesn't take up any real estate on the screen really, and after you get used to it, I love that over BatteryStatus' big icon. So BS is there, but only displays the CPU and overclocking speed right under the Time, and I use it for the systray at the bottom (since its easier to manage IMO).

Thanks for the info on .net sp2... I'll see if I can find it and find out how to upgrade it. I'm sure there is probably something you can install now to fix it. If you find the cab that fixes it, let me know.

Well I did a google on "compact framework SP2" and it took me straight to the microsoft site but you have to download a 39 meg .msi file you run on the pc and it does the upgrade via activesync...I will tell it to use storage card but I have no idea if it will move files to multiple places.

I just flashed to the XM6r2a(Lite) ROM succesfully. It's a great ROM.

I thought i managed to get "Internet Calling" workig with the provider "InternetCalls". On the Today-screen the VOIP-plugin says: "Selected".

But when i try to make a call to a free landline via WiFi, a balloon popsup: "Cannot complete call. The signal may be unavailable or the phone number may not be valid."

What am i doing wrong? Is it that i haven't bought any credits yet? Although i am able to call via the Internetcalls-Client.

Wifi on Comm Manager Problem

Hello,

I've been using this rom for almost two weeks now. In general it's been very stable and the speed is amazing. Thanks to mfrazzz for his awesome job!!

However lately I've been having this up and down problem with the Wifi on the comm manager. When I tap on the WLAN sometimes it won't turn on. I get the progress icon for several seconds but then the WLAN just comes back off.

I did some research and found that NBD ROM by Zoki had the same problem with the wifi. SiLeNtKiLLa and ROCOAFZ from that thread recommended that the following registry keys should fix it:

HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadstatus --> 1

HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadwifi -->1

I did this but didn't fix mine and still get this up and down problem. Does anybody have the same problem? Soft reset sometimes fixes it.

Here's the detail on my wizard:

G3 (CID and SIM unlocked)

IPL/SPL: 2.26 from T-mobile official ROM

GSM: 02.25.11

Glad you found a solution since mine did not have a smartdialer option...I'm attaching a screenshot of the one you mentioned and the files needed to install it. This dialer is ok and uses less storage space then the other one.

Install the dialer and don't reset yet then unzip the button and background zips to \windows on the device overwriting the ones already there..then do a soft reset.

Smartdialing works on this one but I'm not certain yet whether I still prefer the vista_black....the vista one has alot larger buttons at the cost of smartdial.

PIN?

I noticed something weird with this otherwise great ROM. Every now and then (it happened 3 times in the past week), when the phone wakes up it asks my PIN code. However, I have that feature switched off! Luckily, when I reboot ("soft reset"), all is fine again. But still, it shouldn't happen.

Another thing i noticed is that sometimes it doesn't get beyond the 3rd splash screen ("Welcome to Mobile 6"). Rebooting again also helps, and it doesn't happen too often.
