The beginner's luck

Thanks vlodeck, good job! This ROM is really amazing! :)

For the beginners like me I recommend to read more carefully this topic as well as the entire "Charmer" thread. I went through the ROM bricking before I succeed to upgrade to TouchFLO. This can be found here:

any updates to the ROM?
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] vistar:
I have had this same problem.... or so i thought... I reviewed this feature straight away, and found that it only seems to work when sending a sms/mms, not actually in programs, where the phonepad, no matter how much you chose it (within programs) it would always revert to the standard (small) keyboard, as if this was default. I don't know? i am not the creator and cannot comment, if this is how this feature is supposed to be?

Vistar
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] vlodeck:
If the keyboard you installed doesnt work (after clicking on it from the list, it reverts to standard keyboard) this is what you have to do (not only on charmer).

If you have your keyboard installed, uninstall it. Soft reset. Install it once again. After the installation, soft reset. And now, when the system boots up, enter the PIN. Go to Start->Settings. And know pop up the available keyboards list, choose the one you like. Wait a few seconds and it should be ready.

battery problem

maybe anyone could help... i have a serious problem with my charmer after updating...

- german model of charmer

- "installed" ruu_compactii_aku3.3_38222_382117_026921_tmo_de_ger_ship

- "installed" Charmer_Touch_ver._2.1

After full charging the battery it takes the charmer about 6 hours to completely discharge the battery (only Phone, Active Push & Data Connection are active)

All the rest works excellent...

Cheers

Reiner
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] vlodeck:
reinos: and how much did you get on WM5? I doubt it's because of WM6 upgrade. Check all the features, irda, bluetooth, gprs connection is also power-consuming.
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] reinos:
thanks for the quick response...

after installing the aku3.3 i had about 3-4 days

i "restored" all settings so it's configured like running wm5

fix this problem

I have the same problem and I fix it.When green lamp be inflame it does not meen that the battery is full.You need keep on charge about one hour.

See the battery status +mA charge
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] reinos:
i checked this. When the green lamp is active and the charmer still connected using usb then the + appears/disappears the next hours.

If the charmer is connected the whole day and disconnected throughout the night (only Phone, DirectPush and DataConnection are active) then in the morninig the battey status is 0%.

unlocking ext rom

how can I unlock ext rom in this release? I tried everything but with no results.

Is it possible? It would be good to use about 9MB of space for programs:)
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] vlodeck:
You can enter extended rom with Total Commander. Just type \Extended_rom in the directory path.
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] mario_j:
That's not so easy as you think. I know that Total Commander can enter extended rom and it worked for me but I wanted to unlock extrom and use it to install programs. I tried few extrom unlockers and now my extrom looks like damaged filesystem. Is there any method (without reflashing back to WM5 and again WM6 - reflashing only WM6 doesn't reformat extrom) to fix extrom and unlock it?
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] vlodeck:
In the package of TouchFLO 2.1 there's an ext_rom cleaner. Cant remember whats it called.
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] mario_j:
Do you mean that in the package there's program for cleaning ext_rom? I didn't find it. So I tried clear and write ext_rom (part of upgrade_rom.bat without flashing OS). Files were copied, unfortunately autorun.exe and finixtouchphonepad.cab have 64kB size. Ext_rom still looks like damaged filesystem (a lot of directories with some strange signs in directory names). Of course it's not possible to delete these directories.

Can you help me any way?
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] vlodeck:
Try to flash official WM5 with ext rom.
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] mario_j:
I did it and I have back ext_rom. But still I don't know how to unlock ext_rom and use it for programs. There was no problem with unlocking ext_rom in WM5.

Bricked...

Hi there,

Unfortunately I've bricked my charmer with this upgrade.

I tried everything I found on this forum,(reflash with the no-id tool, both charmer rom and prophet rom...) but unfortunately no luck.

Do you have any idea what to do?

I don't want to use my phone as a paperweight...
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] vlodeck:
jofej: I can't say you've painted the picture here very well. What's the case?
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] jofej:
Thanks for your attention vlodeck, but I solved the situation myself in the meantime. It seems like the problem was that my charmer was cid-locked. I've used the johnny rom to solve the problem, and unlocked it with lokiwiz3.

Now I'm running TouchFLO Charmer, it's really cool, grats!

[MDA Compact II ROM Development] teo_n:
Create and save contacts and appoinments

hmm ?

I just backuped my contacts.

Why did you ask?

when i'm looking in upgrade_rom.bat I see

following lines

CeRun.exe -b CE:\Windows\WceLoad.exe \Cert_SPCS.cab /noui >NUL

But I don't have any file called wceload.exe on my computer.

and there are references to drive e: in some lines. Ist this correct?

I tried battfix cab. No help. Now i will try it removing the sd card.

Any help or tips will be very helpful.

Hi vlodek, or anyone can help... i think my device is G3 (.0000) i was originally on AKU2 and tried lokiwiz02b to cid unlock it gave me an error (cant remember what, something about a dll file, so i tried Lokiwiz03 and it gave me unlock code and i unlocked the sim, and so i thought CID, i tried the Touch2.1 upgrade and it didnt turn green and carried on giving me the ITWrite disk error. and didnt work, i restarted it it didnt get past bootscreen, so i put it into bootloader and get a official rom from t-mobile, it updates to 100% completes and now i'm on AKU3, i probably shouldnt of upgraded it??? now if i cant get either lokiwiz to work and i have tried the wizard No ID RUU with your vlodeck004.4 nk.nbf but it loads fully and wm5 just loads again. help please

Use NO_ID RUU with Charmer WM6 TouchFLO

Hi,

I have a g3, spl 2.06.0000 Charmer. So as far as I understood the forum, I cannot do CID unlock using lokiwiz2.

An usual suggestion is to use NO_ID RUU for flashing the firmware. The problem is that I am getting ERROR [240] FILE OPEN. I guess that the reson is that I need nk.nbf file. The question is where to find it - there is OS.nb file in the Charmer WM6 TouchFLO package. So, what should I do?
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] vistar:
i did it!!! just without cid unlocking, i just copy BOTH the rar files from the folder to your device, and run them from your pda, then soft reset with stylus, then run the "ROM Upgrade" it seems like it doesnt do anything on screen after it copies the ext rom, but it is! do not touch your device at all, just wait, wait, wait (up to 30 mins) trust me it will work... (your device just freezes whilst it updates, just leave it alone and go and take your eyes off screen for 30 mins)

2)I got it running with a Vodafone Card but my GPRS settings don't work. I always get the message that the modem has disconnected. I tried many different settings but it won't work.

3)Can I install programms on it just like on other WM5/6 ROMs because I tried it with Poket Quake but it doesn't work

4)Where should I put my music files, that I can listen to them with the "built in" Player?

Didn't have this Issue in gullum's ROM. Maybe incompatible driver or something like 'Auto-Insert-Notification' in 'big' Windows?

Screen lights up if the SD-Card is removed, but the device doesn't recognize the Card again until Soft-Reset.

The SD-Card's capacity is always shown as 'Card Full'.

And... in that Contact App you suggested, if it's tried to start the Camera from inside the Contact Manager (select pic for contact) it tries to start something that ends up with a 'insufficient memory' message. No other apps running, and > 30mb free.

Cam acts normal if launched by HW-Button or Programs -> Camera.

TouchFLO sometimes accidentally starts if you move the stylus to the lower left.
