[MDA Compact II ROM Development] tmsr79:
The problem is, that I do not have a connection via active sync, also after the replug.

Should I try a Soft-Reset, or a Hard Reset??

Thank you for your help!!

EDIT: I tried to enter the bootloader mode (like it is described in the Wiki), because the MDA was frozen, but it did not work and so the device started to make a soft reset.

Now I see the T-Mobile Splash screen with the GSM and OS version (GSM 02.19.21 and OS 4.0.0.0) but nothing happened.

Is the MDA no in the PPC heaven??

What can I do to rewake it and connect it to ActiveSync??
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] vlodeck:
Go to bootloader mode and flash official WM5 rom, if you've got invalid vendor id error, download no_id ruu. And please dont ask here, were to find all of this. Just read the forums. EOT.

I just tried my Spectec 820 SDIO WiFi card and it doesn't work. With WM6 Essentials it worked. Can someone help here ?

edit: now my SIM doesn't work anymore, wow what a ****ty day ;(
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] vlodeck:
Probably needs some additional drivers. You can extract nocturne's rom and compare the .dll's, see if anythings missing.
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] pjam:
I'd be interested to hear how you get on with the wifi card. I am considering buying one of those specific cards from ebay.
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] nefesto:
Hello! I have a problem! I did not flash back to WM05 and flashing over Windows Mobile 06. Now on screen "T-mobile" and device not loading :-(

What can i do now?
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] vlodeck:
You can read the forum.
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] nefesto:
Thanks. I'm flashing the 2005 now
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] Frtzrwk:
I hope that's not too noobish, but how can I do that ?
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] vlodeck:
Download molski dev pack from www.molski.biz. There's a tutorial as well.
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] Frtzrwk:
Couldn't find anything. In other news I could get the card to show up with this driver http://www.spectec.com.tw/driver/sdw820-driver-wm6/WLAN11b-PPC-Crossbow.CAB but I can't activate it in Comm-Manager or Wireless-Manager, It just does nothing. And after a while the Charmer just hangs and I have to softreset.
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] vlodeck:
Have you tried the other comm manager? Opens with voice dial button by default.
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] Frtzrwk:
Yes, this is what happens.

Windows circle comes up:

Then it goes back to "Off":
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] tman_ca:
wow!

Vlodeck,

I gotta hand it you, this is one friggin amazing ROM. I tried earlier versions of yours and Nocturnes ROM's. None of them were enough to make me ditch my w810 and Blackberry combo.

That was until I loaded this!!

I'm am 99% sure that I will cancel my BB plan and go with a regular data plan on AT&T.

Why do I like it;

Everything just works. From the comm stuff, to the neat Network Wizard, which made GPRS setup a breeze. The interface (don't know exact name) of the today screen is awesome. In my BMW the signal strength bars show up correctly and it paired via BT instantly. Theres a lot more, like one of the ringtones, which is jsut right. IE works great. I'm using the gmail java app too which works great.

Dude, job well done mate.

PS: I was going to buy an iPhone this week, but have now decided to wait.
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] pjam:
There's no doubting that this ROM has given the Charmer a new lease of life.

I agree completely with all the positive comments.

How does it feel Vlodeck to have made so many people happy? :)

pjam
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] vlodeck:
It always feels great when you make someone happy, doesnt it? But you have to agree though, that there are not many charmer users around this forum. Its one of the most unpopular devices I'd say :) Nevertheless charmer was my first ppc phone so its kind of sentimental to me and I just can't get bored with it :)
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] tman_ca:
The funny thing is that the charmer was given to me by my nephew; he didn't like it. As soon as I got it, I googled it, came across the xda-dev site and then starting loading ROM's like mad.

It was very unusable, imho, before with the standard WM5. WM6 was a bit better, but the whole windows mobile interface kinda sucks. This new interface for the today screen (what is it actually called) is the key differentiator. If you had a stock plugin it would have the same functionality as an iphone (well kinda anyway :))

Like I said, its very good. Makes the charmer a viable smartphone/pda now.
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] pjam:
When you consider that the Charmer was available for free on the cheapest T-Mobile tariffs and also consider everything you can do with it including Sat Nav apps, it was / still is a good phone. The form factor is still pretty good, combining the large screen with out the phone being too huge. With a little overclocking the phone has always performed ok too.

The Touch seems to be a popular phone and yet with this latest wm6 ROM the charmer isn't too different and actually is better in the way it has more buttons.

Considering I don't live in a 3G area and I already have a BT GPS receiver, i am seriously considering keeping this phone rather than upgrading to the Kaiser.

pjam
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] wra1th:
I just want to add my thanks and congratulations to all involved in this rom, it is absolutely brilliant. I had so many apps installed previously to get something that was usable that the charmer was nearly unusable (memory problems). With this rom I have an interface that is absolutely terrific, it runs much faster and I am able to use the navi and still be able to take calls at the same time, previously charmer would have ground to a halt. The pBar toolset is excellent and somehow I have overclocked charmer to 299Mhz stable. Which has seriously improved the performance. All in all a brilliant package which now gives me the problem of what to do when my upgrade is available in November.

Thanks again
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] jfran:
there shouldnt be a problem in November at all, just wait for the Charmer II :)

You got me there jfran what is the Charmer II? I am seriously considering the Kaiser but Charmer with this new rom is making me think twice it's so good, but then again I think I really need 3g caps, built in wlan and GPS of Kaiser.

[MDA Compact II ROM Development] cammm:
the camera function is missed out after this installation. Any one has the same problem?
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] vlodeck:
If you mean, the camera is not there, or its not working, then congratz, because you either flashed the wrong rom or didnt flash it properly.

Camra issues

Hello 2 every1

The first is my regards to vlodeck, that's a cool stuff all working correct if u install radio rom 2.69.

The second thing is that I’ve flashed my rom twice, first time all's good, but on the second the camera applet in programs menu was not working. I've try the camera button - all the same.

The way i've flashed: roll back to wm 5 ...NVID -> updated to ......2.1. -> radio rom 2.69.

That was done twice.

Thankz in advance. :) :)

[MDA Compact II ROM Development] AndiHelldriver:
I flashed this incredible good ROM last week.

My experience: as usual a lot of soft reset's because of all the stuff I install and my "try out's" but reliable, stable and no problem's

My comment: perfect work - how many hours did you spend on this great job Vlodeck?

It's time for a donation!!!

Thanks Vlodeck!

brgds

[MDA Compact II ROM Development] vlodeck:
I have just received your donation Andreas, Thanks a lot! :) Well, taking into consideration that I spend a hell lot of work on the first WM6 together with nocturne, it is now pretty simple for me to cook another rom, so thats how it works.
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] AndiHelldriver:
Good work needs honor!

Thanks for providing such incredible stuff!

And thanks for the nice contact, I enjoy it!

To all users of this ROM: give Vlodeck a small donation, a recognition to his work!

[MDA Compact II ROM Development] anonymous1:
hi vlodeck,

sorry to pester you, but any news on this please? if it's a radio problem, any suggestions on a radio upgrade?

many thanxes in advance :)

PS. tried HTC Prophet radio ROM 2.69.21 G3 - worked for 10 minutes, but after soft reset no more notification of sms or voicemail
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] jfran:
regarding the voicemail issue, thats not related to the rom as you will need to program the voicemail number into the phone settings.... the vmail number is your existing mobile number.

regarding the niotification issue, I would suggest a soft / set or reinstall of the ROM as a last resort
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] schmeichler:
Charmer II?

I thought - assuming the form factor ist the same - Trinity was the successor of the charmer... (correct me if I'm wrong)

just to let this post not competely be off topic...

Many many thanks to vlodeck!!! Great ROM - first time I flashed any non-official. I found this thread not being here for a while the day I was going to finally order a Trinity (since the price won't seem to drop on it).

Love it!

Charging problem

As many other users (not only charmer) I also have problems using other chargers than the original one (including PC active sync).

After being annoyed for the last weeks I found following information which also applies to me:

Charging is a problem of the type of ROM you use AND the type of charger you use.

HTC implented to check the device you connect on the usb port,

see this thread for detailed explanation:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=277742&page=3

Active sync or original charger: it will work anytime except when you use a cooked WM6 which doesn't have the batfix.cab installed.

An amber indication does not mean succesfull charging! To see if you charge watch the "Powerdrain" indication of the BatteryStatus today plugin for an indication like "+2000mW" or "+500mA" - no plus in front of the value means no charging. Be patient and wait at least 10s until you can be sure to have an indication.

Using any other kind of charger not fulfilling the HTC specification will work under following conditions:

- any 3rd party charger should work when you charged your charmer once succesfully with "active sync" or the original charger UNTIL a restart of the charmer.

- connecting any 3rd party charger and softresetting the charmer will charge the unit

- any 3rd party charger where pin 4 is grounded should work anytime - see the thread quoted above

Hope this information helps others too...

Some editorial changes:

I didn't mention it because I thought all users of Vlodecks' Rom knew that it has the BatFix.cab (in the extended ROM).

Charging via USB/PC: after a softreset you have to allow an active sync cycle, otherwise it won't charge (show it but not do it...)
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] vlodeck:
Hi Andi,

Sorry for not replying to your mail. I just didnt have enough time to sit down and write something constructive.

The batfix.cab is included in the extended rom, so you should let the customization finish its work. I personally had no problems with chargers or usb cables. Nevertheless I guess the battery drivers from WM5 rom (like german AKU3.3 or english aku2) will fix this issue. I'm now converted to mac os x so I am not able to do any rom developing stuff. If someone does know how to do it, and has some free time then go ahead :) Should you have any questions, I will answer them all questions on icq or msn.
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] AndiHelldriver:
Nevermind!

I was not supposing to ask you for a fix as your ROM is perfect and "this bug" is as far as I could figure out HTC "homemade"....

Regarding Batfix: I had it all time installed, when I removed it (installing it once more and then uninstalling) I had no chance to charge my device :-) (trial and error method....).

As I mentioned in my previous post: The linked thread explains the behaviour exactly on my device... At my device I can only use "non HTC" chargers after a charge "via Active Sync", original HTC charger or connecting any other charger and soft resetting the device...

I'm completely with you regarding the "old" drivers!

You converted to MacOS X? How do you like it?
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] vlodeck:
I like it much better than windows, thats for sure :)

End of offtop.

Charging via USB

Can anyone help, I have searched the site but couldnt find answer, I have the new rom made by Vlodeck, which is superb, I seem to have developed a problem charging through my usb to my pc. It has worked before but it doesnt seem to do it now. It says its charging but the percentage seems to go down, can anyone help?

Also, are there different themes that can be used on this rom? can anyone point me in the right direction.

Cheers

VJ
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] schmeichler:
concerning usb-charging... I don't think you have searched the site ;) it's full ov 'usb power draining wm6' threads... (even in this one if I remember correctly!)

try:

- soft reset while usb-cable is connected

- hook up cable only when device is in standby

edit: concerning themes - are you joking? the ones available are where they are supposed to be...

[MDA Compact II ROM Development] stuart38:
I found this forum today and I have to say I'm now planning on keeping my charmer for a while because I went for a touch and it was too slow, but if the interface will work on the charmer than thats perfect for me.

However, this was the first time I attempted to flash my device and I seem to have buggered the phone. I ran the Upgrade_ROM.bat after having copied accross and installed the two cab files but I got an error in the batch file output (I didnt capture it before hitting a button to continue but it was something like Invalid access, nothing reffering to dropped connection as in a previous post) and the mda screen prompt said "Cannot execute replloy.exe"

The mobile was not responsive so I did a reset and now its stuck on the T-Mobile boot screen with some red writing in the top left hand corner

Can anyone help?

edit: Having re-read the instructions on post 1 I now realise I did not check whether I have 'bootloader v2' my phone is vanilla from T-Mobile a few weeks back after a repair - how do I know what bootloader I have, and is that likely to have been the cause?

Vlodeck, hi!

I'm very impressed with the new ROM & have had it installed on my G3 Charmer for the last month. I installed it on my wife's Charmer a week ago & it installed fine, but for some reason her phone randomly switches itself on every now & then. Her phone has a G4 chip & the update was done from the latest Tmobile WM5 ROM. Apart from this undemanded turning on it works fine. I flashed it back to WM5 & then to your ROM again, but the problem remains (it does not happen with the WM5 ROM). The extended ROM programs were allowed to run as instructed & soft/hard resets do not solve the problem. It is a clean install with no other programs installed. Any ideas?

As an aside, I use Memory Map on my Charmer & it accesses map files on the SD card. With the WM5 ROM it had no problems, but with the WM6 ROM it refuses to open the maps (~300mb) unless I split them into smaller files. Is there anything different as far as you are aware between the two ROMs that might effect this?

Thanks,

Chameleon

Hi vlodeck,

Ref my post #248, I seem to have isolated the problem with the MDA's undemanded 'power on'. It only occurs when you use the 'LOCK' feature which prompts for a code if the device is unused for a while. With this disabled the problem goes away...

Hi,

I have downgraded to the shipped wm5 rom.

I then have coppied and ran both Cert_SPCS.cab and EnableRapi.cab on ppc.

I then run upgrade rom.bat from a folder on c:\ however it seems to stop after copying the touchflo rom.

It says

3 partitions, 2 binary partitions
