The G replaces the E in this rom, There is no diffrence :)

Its the same connection, its just a diffrent letter, does it matter? :)
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] BRSG:
Finished the update to the new rom just now... Haven't explored it much yet, but at first look it seems to have much less memory program available...

EDIT1: First drawback on this ROM.. soft-reseted my device and it booted until the PDAVIET bootscreen. After that entered in a boot loop :S

Going to flash again and if I have the same result after a couple of soft-resets, I'm going back to the previous ROM...

It's a shame that the PP is back to 12MB... The 6MB PP was great :)

EDIT2: Ok, so until now everything is fine with this new rom version... soft-reseted a few times my P4350 and no boot loop appeared. I'd would like to know why Mr.PhamQuang used a 12MB PP in this rom so I've registered at pdaviet.net to see the complete set of updates, but I don't understand the language :( I can see that they talk about something related to the previous rom, the latest rom and the original, but it would be great if someone could translate this:

ok... i had an older version of this rom, but when flashing to this version i get the ITWriteDisk error.

now i have installed the cab, soft reset, ran the update, and i get this error.

i have no mem card in, its an htc p4350, and im running XP

HELP!

i have a tmobile wing... and while the CMD window was open, my laptop died... now the phone freezes at the tmobile screen... what do i do?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] RSkillz:
Faster?

So howmuch faster is it compared to last version?

One thing that bugged me was the slower speed when sliding out the keyboard and letting the screen flip. On my WM5 its practically instant, hope it's same on this ROM.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] papamopps:
Search the registry for "enabledifferGPRSicon" and set the value to 1

BTW - EDGE is much faster than GPRS but it is not available anywhere - so when the G changes to E you have a faster connection.

Good luck

Modify OS.nb

Hey, well done! Nice Work!

Is there a way of modifing the OS.nb? I would like to add my own entry to the HH_409_WeatherCieties.xml in the Windows-directory.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] itje:
the g just replace the e letter on my phone, the connection is the same. but that is here, maybe not the same where you guys live :)
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] BRSG:
I went back to the previous rom... I prefer the 6MB PP (average of 23MB program memory fee) rather them 12MB PP (wich leads to an average 17MB program memory available). I don't use the the HTC Home 6 tabs (the 5 tab one is enough for me). I prefer the colored original skin of baterystatus plugin.

Although the Comm 8 button seems more adequate to my Herald I don't mind having a 9 button CommManager, so I've returned to the PDAVIET ROM WM6.0 v4.12.07.03.

In both ROM's I still have the problem with the weather plugin... doesn't download the weather info of my city :(
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] BRSG:
I think that the problem is exactly the fact of you not having a memory card in... In my first try I got the same error, but it was because of an SDCard almost without free space. Deleted some things and released some space and after that everything went ok :)
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Monarch73:
check!

I checked it out. 2.79 is absolutly sufficient and this version works on my german P4350.

BUT you have to be careful with the "connection wizard" under Settings->Connection. Once used, my radio became unavailable. Had to get the WM5 RUU installed back to get it workin again.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Monarch73:

Can anyone tellme please, what tool I need to get to modify this NB.os? I tried aChef but it gave me an error telling me, its not a valid rom-file.

I would like to add a new entry to the weatherplugin.

try anichillus "Core Pro Kitchen" you can edit every ROM dump with this.

Are you executing the upgrade while Activesync is in Guest mode???
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Diagorn:
Hello everybody

I am a P4350 french user and I would like to try the Windows Mobile 6 OS.

However, before do the upgrade, I have some questions for don't have any problems.

1 - I don't mind if the interface is in English, however, is it possible to have the french keyboard ?

Indeed, it is not easy to create a SMS with a keyboard not AZERTY

2 - For them who have tried this OS, is it more quick than WM5 ?

3 - If the WM6 doesn't correspond to my hope or if I need to send the unit to the customer service, can I downgrade to french WM5 ?

If yes, where do I find a french WM5 official rom ?

Thanking you in advance for your future responses

Regards

Diagorn

[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] neptune:
On another note what pagepool size is everyone most happy with. I am currently testing out 4MB and so far I am happy with the +25MB of program memory(with 240 or 260 overclock and makes a great combo), but there is a quite significant delay when using the screen to execute a command after a wakeup. What are your experiences so far????
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] neptune:
Must be in Guest mode as stated in Asergs Method of Flashing. I couldnt achieve this myself at first due to a problem with Firewall. But after exiting all flashing has become quite simple.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] neptune:
1 - It is possible to change keyboard language through registry

2 - Since the first release of WM6 through the Universal I found it to be much quicker. This holds true in my opinion on the Herald as well.

3 - You can downgrade but its upto you to find the original French RUU for your device. Maybe a few french users could point you in the right direction.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Diagorn:
Thanks a lot Neptune for your answer.

If any french users have the official french ROM for Windows Mobile 5, could you tell me where download it ?

Good tip on flashing to OEM WWE 5.4.405 (in the Herald Upgrades section). This upgraded the Radio ROM to 2.79.90 and now this ROM is working.

Omg It Worked! Thank You Soooo Much!!!!
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] papamopps:
To ALL!!!

Read ALL post before starting to flash.

The Tip with "Upgrading to Radio 2.79" is mentioned in ALL threads about WM6.

So please:

1.: reading

2.: checking if I have the RUU to unbrick (right language is nesessary)

3.: Updating with RUU

4.: going through the flashing proces - Step by Step

5.: chicking if all went right

After that there don´t have to be questions like "How do I make a hardreset" (e.g.)

Thanks to all - regarding this 5 steps

I'm having problems with this ROM :( After a rom flash, I resize de pagepool and all is ok, but after a while, when I start to customize my devide, I get a startup loop :( Gone try to see wich one of my customization actions provokes this, I made a few sof-resets without problems, but after changing a few more things it starts the boot loop :confused:
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] neptune:
Ye, this happened to me with the last release of this ROM.

DROVE ME NNNNNNNNNUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

Was avg. a 2 hard resets a day just to get it started.

There are many causes to this problem, most notably a program that loads from the storage card during start-up. Taking the memory card out during boot up should do the trick for now. After that do a search on this site using key words "soft reset loop" and try to determine which program triggered the resets. For me it was Sktools after a performing simple cleanup.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] BRSG:
Daaaaaaaammmm... The only program I had installed to the microSD was Resco Explorer. I wonder if that's the one who's driving me NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTS....
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] neptune:
Try using TotalCommander instead of Resco. It is way smaller,quicker, and it does a lot more.

I personally didnt start getting that problem until I messed around with the extended rom. The problem actually stems from the storage card. I wonder if there were a way to install programs to the 9.9MB of space on the extROM. I tried this b4 to no avail.

Could knock 2 birds with one stone if this were possible. I remember back when I had the universal this was a plausible solution.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Monarch73:
won't work...

I tried to extract this OS.nb. In the forum, there is a post saying that you want to extract it by using the "Extra"-way in the "Dump .nb and .bin" for wing/ Herald.

I inserted a "pause" in the batch-file that does the actual Extra-extraction, to see what happens because it took obviously way to less time to do the extraction and I was right. There were just a bunch of errors saying the OS.nb wasn't in a right format.

If I select the extraction from the .nb (normal way) everything seems to work fine, but when I continue this way (automatic pkgtool, DumpXIP) the resulting 800400000-OS.nb (in \Kitchen\temp) is about 300Kb smaller in size and bricks my P4350 if I just rename it to OS.nb and flash it.

What am I doing wrong here?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] papamopps:
For me it worked by using teh "Extract - dump from .bin . nb" and the OS.nb has to be in extract folder.

Then you have to choose teh manual way of PKGtool and select the folder \dump.....
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] neptune:
I also did it this way using dump from .bin .nb. The os.nb was also smaller than the original without changing anything. Once I flashed it to my device, just got hung at bootloader. Left a note on anichillus's thread regarding the Pro Kitchen.

[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] neptune:
I'm interested in finding out whats the cause of this. I also read somewhere that the soft-reset loop was caused by duplicate notifications going off at the same time. Unfortunately the top programs that deal with cleaning such problems such as SkTools, and MemMaid are also associated with the root of the problem.

I allways did the os.nb dumpnig - then dumping the xip and copying the needed files and renaming OS.nb to 80040000-OS.nb and then with pkgtool manually teh by selecting the folder "Xdump\dump" (I guess - sorry haven´t mentioned before). After that the packages were created in extract folder. copy to kitchenfolder and start editing....

Just a note on the writedisk error when flashing. This happens if activesync terminates the connection. Remember to disable any options to turn off the display after X seconds :-)

EDIT2: Found the reason for the reboot loop (I think)... If I enable the batterystatus plugin and soft-reset the device it enters a reboot loop until a point where it finally boots, but with the plugin disabled... going to try the previous version of the plugin to see if it makes a difference!

Guys this is rediculous it took me 2 !@#!@ full days to upgrade my herald and now the weather thingy doesnt work for my city...CRAP..

anyone found a solution about how can i change the program with another weather plug in or how can i REMOVE the weather tab from the today screen??
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] BRSG:
Yup, same thing here... the nearest city where I can get the weather information is at about 120km away from where I live :(

There's a HTC Home version in the hermes part of the forum I think, where through a registry hack you can disable the weather tab, but for that to work you have to install the HTC Home version that they attached there...

EDIT1: xQlusive I've found a possible solution to our weather tab problem at this thread -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=319187. Going to try it now and will post the results later ;)

Hello

a few questions regarding the ROM

1. Can I make an official update (if they release it one day) over this ROM?

2. Does it works with the Vodafone Version of the HTC 3450, the VPA Compact 4?

3. Any chances to unbrick my device if the update fails?

Thanks in advance for your help

Tommy
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Monarch73:
brick/ unbrick

1. ) you can assume that you can, since normal RUUs are installed in the bootloader. The current OS usaly won't interfere.

2. ) I think so, but there is no garantee. The Vodafone version doesn't look like it has strong modifications.

3. ) depents on if your device is unlocked. Usualy you need an RUU in your language. There are some RUUs in the wiki. You might want to check out if one of those will install prior to install of the pdaviet-rom.

WM6 needs a Radioversion 2.79 at least or else your mobile phonepart won't work anymore. In this case, you need to update with one of those RUUs first anyway.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] tommysrocket:
First, thanks for your description, everthing sounds logical.

I only have 2.71.9 and a tried to update with RUU_Herald_HTC_GER_5.4.407.1_4.1.13.34_02.79.90_Ship, but it failed, wrong vendor ID. Is there a chance to trick the device and install the ROM? If I have to unlock my device, is there a chance to do it without to pay money?

Thanks in advance for your kind help

3. install the WM6 ROM of this thread hard reset and use WM6 :)

That doesn't work for me, stay than in the second screen and it is also not a very gentle solution. Are the differences between the two PDA Viet ROM's are so big? Otherwhise I want to change back to "WM6.0 v4.12.07.03 For for HTC Herald"

Regards, Tommy
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] BRSG:
Try to let it reboot continuously for a while and see if after that it boots... It happened to me with this same rom.

Continuous reboot loop until it finally booted correctly. After that I discovered that, every time I enabled the batterystatus plugin at the today screen I kept getting a reboot loop. Replaced the batterystatus plugin by a previous version, v.0.04.203 build 0217 (the one that came with this rom is BatterStatus Extended V. 1.04 Beta with support for themes), soft-reseted the device and the reboot loops disappeared completely :)

The main differences between the roms are the OS builds... the other differences are probably the installed programs versions. For exemple, one of the differences between "WM6.0 v4.12.07.03 For for HTC Herald" and "WM6.0 v4.12.07.05 For for HTC Herald" is the batterystatus plugin version... the .03 version of the PDAVIET's rom has the 0.04.203 build 0217 version of batterystatus and the .05 version of rom has BatterStatus Extended V. 1.04 Beta. For me, this last version of batterystatus was the cause of the reboot loop every time I enabled the today plugin. Replaced for a previious version, as I told above, and all is running on wheels :)
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] tommysrocket:
No, sadly I can not agree. It also reboots when I have BS of.

My problem with the boot loop was that the storage card was being accessed during start up. I just gave up on a solution after days of doing hard resets and just stopped installing programs to the Storage Card
