spb clone software

first of all, I'm really thanks to MagLite from his wm6 rom. anyone having this problem when using "Spb Clone", it come out error message "unable to read from file "\windows\compimeh.0409.dat" because it is blocked by the following processes:"NK.EXE" after the full backup is finish.If I'm not mistaken, it started after wm6 PR2 rom update, even this latest wm6 A02 RTM also. it work fine on previous wm6 PR1 & the A01 rom.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stefano92:
Yes. I flashed the RTM yesterday, reinstalled all my softs and sound were there. This morning, at statup, system hangs, after soft reseting sounds still there but after a couple of minutes disappeared reappeared and then again disappeared. It looks like a task came in conflict with the sound driver... very strange. I installed only Button magic 2.0, TCPMP 0.71 and Resco explorer 5.31 trial.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stefano92:
Hello again,

System is very often locked at 624Mhz in auto mode. utilisation is very slowed down. There is a task consuming ressources (probably filesys or some other). Any link with the sound disappear bug ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Xdenwarrior:
stefano92, I don't really think that there is such fix as for sounds dissapearing as of randomely, but this I quess could happen. I never experienced this bug before (or yet), but I do know that some people even had those problems when running Dell's WM5 A02. So, really it's not a universal bug, and has nothing to do with Maglite's Rom, unless of course it is linked to one specific software that you installed, or everyone is experiencing this bug. (like we did before with an alarm). Try searching in the forums if you can find anything that will help you.

Overall, after all of those betas, it is a very good Rom, which really doesn't have any serious bugs (well, to my opinion). The Rom is actually fast by itself, but the compaction thread is teririble. I find it here worse then it was in WM6 A01. I really think it's due to a small page pool, considering that I run many programs, which requires lots of lines of code.

Now, Maglite, of course, if me being very picky, I would just like to point out a few things, and ask you a few questions (these are very very minor):

1) When you press 'start', then 'help', 'contents', 'manage your time', 'specify the sound for an event', scroll down to press 'adjust the volume for sounds', you will get the following message: Cannot open help. The file cannot be found.

And also when in 'help', 'contents', you press 'start using your device', and press 'what do those icons mean?' you will also get the same message, but the help page will display with some missing icons. I don't think this is a bug, but probably because you changed some icons graphically. Still, I would like others to see if this is a common problem.

2) Also, Maglite, how come when you pick what alarm you want to play, it only gives aside of other sounds, Alarm 2 and Alarm 5? Where is Alarm 1, 3, and 4, which are present in Windows folder?

3) Also, directed more towards microsoft, is there a way by default to use an mp3 song to set it up as a ringtone, instead of just using tbe ones that they give you? I thought they said somewhere that they anounced this feature in WM6.

Of course, I had when I just flashed my device a few glitches with wifi, and at one point I couldn't see any files in my CF card. But this happened before in WM5, and I think it is one time only.

Otherwise, going great so far.

And I think, I finally will start installing back all of my programs since i didn't before because of all of the bugs in the beta roms.

This seems like a finalized version to me.

You did a great job, Maglite.

Hi,

Guess it was just a matter of time before the slime surfaced and tried to profit from this.

I know this is not from Maglite as the seller is a resident of the U.S.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 1337woody:
i got my axim loaded up with all the stuff i use and it was going ok, but with opera, i would sometimes get nailed to the wall pretty hard by i guess filesys, i say filesys because it would lag up then a few minutes later it would run smooth, and sometimes i would have to reset because it was htat bad. well last night i was on the net and my hand held locked up completely so i went to do i reset and now it gets stuck at like 20% on startup. ive tried clearing it with a hreset, but now i cant even get the dialog box up to do that, but i can get into the boot loader to flash an update. i was wondering what everyones opinion of my situation is. i currently dont have an sd reader, but ill get 1 in a couple of days and try to re-flash it, but until then i would be grateful for any help.

and that guy selling the wm6 rom on ebay, if it is a rip of maglites work, he deserves a good kick in the teeth.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mindfield:
I hate scum like this. I reported the auction. Hopefully this will have some effect.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
I'm with you on this too. I reported the auction also. I've lost a lot of respect for Ebay and many of the people who list items on it. This type of thing really gets me heated up on MagLite's behalf. I would love to see Ebay take some action towards the jerk who thought he/she would profit off of MagLite's hard work. :mad:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mindfield:
I can't really blame eBay for it; I've seen this sort of thing going for years; anything anyone can think they can make a quick buck on, especially if it involves no investment, there will always be someone trying it. Have a search on people selling emulator CDs -- CDs full of ROMs/disk images along with the (often GPLed) emulators themselves. Better yet, search for "positive feedback." You'll see people selling E-Books purportedly regarding self-improvement, but really they're selling an exchange of positive feedback between users. In other words, if you're new to eBay, you can buy good feedback -- and with eBay now hiding the auctions many people have successfully bid on, it's even harder to find out who's doing it. :mad:

It's the tools that are engaging in this crap though, not so much eBay; they really can't police every auction, so they rely on people like us to report them. Usually they're pretty good when it's a clear violation, such as this one. (Come on; digital delivery of a commercial OS? That screams TOS violation, never mind that this is a hack and technically not very legal in and of itself.) Still, in appreciation for all the work Maglite has done I think reporting auctions like this is the least that can be done. I hate to see people try and pull a profit off of someone else's hard work.

As of the time I reported there were no units sold though, so at least he hasn't made anything yet. As long as ebay.co.uk (where it's listed) responds in a timely fashion, he'll get his warning before he makes any money. Unfortunately that's all he's likely to get; a pulled auction and a wag of the finger, assuming he has no other strikes against him for this sort of thing. If he tries again though then he'll be in for more serious action.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chasms:
He has ended that item, obviously he doesnt know that similiar items are listed in his auction.

Easy upgrade to WM6

All

I think a lot of hard work has gone into this upgrade. Well done as it's great to keep my X50v up with the last innovations. Now, has anyone done the WM6 A02 upgrade from WM5 with the aid of Sprite 6.0 and if so could they post the procedure for doing so - assuming this doesn't compromise the upgrade.:confused:

Regards

not again with this rom, this is been happening a lot with other roms

on your next release mag you should add your name on one of the start up or setup screens or that this rom is free by you or the xda dev site address.

maybe that will show people that this is free. but will mostly show that its your property and that you released it for free
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Doogul:
I've reported all his x50 roms for breach of trademark - eBay will have to take those seriously.

His feedback isn't good - looks like his customers are pretty dim: they can't work the digital download - serves him right!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Let's all keep an eye out for this ROM on ebay for a while. I think we owe it to MagLite to keep reporting this seller (or any seller trying to profit from MagLite's ROM) until this ROM stops showing up in ebay listings. It doesn't take much time at all to report the auctions, so let's all give back a little bit of our time in thanks to MagLite's hard work (and for keeping this free for us)!!! :cool:

WM5 already loaded on X50v for sale on eBay

Hi, I think we should add hardware already loaded with WM6 to the watch list as well. I've seen the 50 &51 with WM6 already loaded for sale in the past couple of weeks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] drnihili:
Selling a freely available ROM is slime. But lots of people simply can't or won't mess with flashing a new rom. I don't see any problem with selling hardware that's been flashed, or even with selling the service of doing the flashing.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mindfield:
I reported the latest 4 all at once. This guy needs to be shut down; his other auctions all list similar digitally-delivered OS upgrades for other WM smartphones cheaply. What a douche.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] davidsimmonds:
I followed the instructions in this thread. I have A02 installed. I press Wifi + Power and then press Reset. I keep the Wifi + Power pressed until I see the SD Loader screen then I let go. The SD card has the following two files on it:

WM50_K_A02_X50v_WM60_EN.nb0

WM50_K_A02_X50v_WM60_EN.nb0.crc

The loader then tells me:

"No suitable image found"

Why do I get this?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ymlin123:
Formated your SD card, and recopy image files. It works.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] davidsimmonds:
Huh? Your response does not mean anything. I don't need to format the memory card. Recopying the files won't help.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] davidsimmonds:
I spoke too soon, reformatting and recopying worked. I dont understand why, but I dont really care. It worked. Go figure. Thanks for the help.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ultraprimeomega:
the problem is that they are selling it and its for free. maglite is not getting any of the money that they are getting and they don't even say that the rom is from maglite:mad:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] davidsimmonds:
The upgrade was successful, sort of. It boots fine and runs fine. But when I plug it into the cradle and plug the USB cable in to a Windows Vista computer, the device driver install fails and no partnership is created. I have rebooted the device with no change in behaviour.

Any suggestions?

Trouble Upgrading!

Hi All,

Am a longtime Palm user and big on pushing PDAs in medicine on my residents in Family Medicine. Am a new Program Director as of a few months ago. I noticed your recent blog on the Dell Axim. The outgoing PD had purchased these for the residents, but they all have Windows Mobile 2003. I now have a Treo 750 (prev 300/600/650/700p/755p) and frankly not a fan of WinMob. I tried to flash my issued Dell Axim last night just for fun (have nothing on it) in hopes of getting to WinMob 6 and helping out my residents as WinmOb 5 is SO slow compared to all the Palms I have used in past! I followed the directions kindly posted on the 1st page of this thread and downloaded Winmob 5.0 ao1 1st, used WinRar on the archive and copied the 4 files onto an SD card (there should be four files, correct?). After inserting and getting to the white screen c the AO1 at the top in blue , I alway get an error "Proper SD image cannot be found". I then hard reset and try again. So far no luck! Any thoughts? This is just the 1st ROM--still have to get AO2 and then the WinMob 6 to take. Sorry a noob when it comes to flashing ROMs on Pocket PC's! Any help would be greatly appreciated. I saw the previous post and attempted to reformat the SD card several times and recopied the 4 files and still no dice.:mad:

thanks in advance,

Doug
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pacino:
Hi,

ArmyDoc, my first thing is, do you have a x50V you are trying to flash?

Make sure this is yes.

Then try again to load the files to your card and reflash.

If you continue to have issues, redownload the files again and try the process again.

These are the steps I wold use to truobleshoot the problem.

If you continue to have problems, please post again and hopefully we can help you.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] westerdaled:
How painful can the WM6 A02 upgrade be....

Hi there

Ditto on those files. Anyway, the loader wouldn't read them from any of the SD cards I've tried ( from camera, MP3 player etc.) so I have restored from Sprite 6 and run FlashFormat with the 32bit format option. I will copy again and try the loader tonight. The one thing I have noticed following the restore to WM5 A02, is that the power off button does not work. When I press it the screen switches off then the X50v powers straight back on again...:mad: Now, this will be a real issue if it still exists after the WM6 A02 upgrade....as anybody experienced this issue?

cheers

Daniel
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Gix:
Youtube videos will work with Mobile Internet Explorer after installing Flash Player 7 for Pocket PC (free from Adobe), however the videos I've tested were not playing very well... I tried to change the temporary internet files to the SD Card but there was no speed improvement. Looks like the processor is still weak for flash videos.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Yes, you did speak too soon. ;) A lot of times, devices that use SD cards will put hidden files on the card (sometimes written in RAW format which is not visible even as a "hidden" file in Windows). Hidden files are not the only thing that can keep an Axim from seeing legitimate ROM images, but it has been known to give users a hard time when trying to flash. It is always best to work with a freshly formatted SD card when planning to flash a ROM image.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
First of all, ArmyDoc, it took me a bit to realize what you were referring to by "WinMob". I can honestly say that I've never heard of Windows Mobile referred to as "WinMob". It sounds like you've read through some of these threads before, so why not stick with the terminology the rest of us are used to? Windows Mobile = WM (WM is a lot shorter than even "WinMob") ;)

As was previously posted by another person, what exact model of Axim do you have? These particular ROMS are only designed to work with an Axim X50v (which is different than even an X50).

Also, in what way are you formatting your SD card? By that I mean, what program are you using to format your SD card and what filesystem are you formatting to it (FAT, FAT32, or NTFS) Axims are picky about the filesystem that is used on storage cards. Typically, if you're formatting using Windows XP or Vista, the default filesystem will be set as NTFS. NTFS will not work with our Axims.

If you have Windows XP, you also have the option of going to the Dell website and downloading the official Dell RUU (RUU = ROM Upgrade Utility) for going from WM2003SE to WM5.

Fill us in with some more details so we can get a better idea of where things are not working out for you. Thanks!

Hey all..was wondering, what are the advantages of upgrading to A02..I have A01 right now of the maglite edition of WM6 so I was wondering if it is worth upgrading to this one..what does it come with that the other version doesn't have? Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] helleryu:
My x50v system now is WM5 A04 (05130500)

Could I directly upgrade it to the newest release of WM6?

Thank you all!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
If you mean WM5 A03, the short answer is "Yes". However, I am unaware of an A04 of WM5. As far as I know, there is only an A04 of WM2003SE. If you instead have WM2003SE, then you must go through the process of upgrading to WM5 before you can upgrade to WM6.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Much improved WiFi connectivity and reliability, for one :) It also has many bugs ironed out in the registry and such. It is more responsive overall (as opposed to A01) and has some updated icons. It is especially great if you edit it to have a 0mb pagepool! *hint hint*

If I were you, I would go ahead and upgrade to A02. MagLite worked really hard to improve it over A01 in many areas and I think you'll be happy that you upgraded. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] helleryu:
but from my x50v system info, I saw ROM version is A04 (05130500).

Another thing is that when I login msn messenger, there's a info "Logon to MSN Messenger Service failed becuase the service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." But web browsing is OK. Any body also met this problem. Before this problem occurred, I could use msn messenger well.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Honestly, I have no idea what A04 is, unless it's in reference to WM2003SE. Here is the very latest version of WM5 for X50v that I'm aware of:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=313081&highlight=maglite

There was a broken version of Windows Live/MSN Messenger floating around for a while. Perhaps you have that one? On the first page of this thread, MagLite posted a working Windows Live CAB. Not sure if it works on WM5 though (if you indeed have WM5).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] LakerChick4life:
Thanks so much for the info..does the MSN messenger come included for A02 because I downloaded it for my A01 but it does not work..keeps on saying that it cant connect and I know that there were issues with it before so thats why it was not included with it originally..Also..I have a bunch of programs and stuff on my axim, if I use the Sprite backup and back up everything..if I upgrade to A02..will I have any issues with putting the backup back into the axim or should I just start from scratch? What new icons does it come with?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Here is the Windows Live/MSN Messenger CAB that actually works in A02 (courtesy of MagLite). :)

http://rapidshare.com/files/54532388/MS_Windows_Live.rar

About all your programs, you can back up your PIM data with Sprite, but there were several changes in the registry between A01 and A02, so you don't want to restore any old system files (system data) into A02. It probably would be best just to re-install things from scratch (except for PIM data) as that is what many have done as a precaution.

It has new Wifi and BT icons (ones originally found on AximSite.com) and a few new icons in the Settings menu.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] LakerChick4life:
COOL so the windows live messenger works for A02 cause for A01 it just wouldn't work and I ended up uninstalling it. I'm surprised its not included in the WM6 A02 program, I would think it would be included, but I Guess we must install it seperately..I think I will just start from scratch..So this time the WI-Fi actually works..I had heard that there were issues with A01..Also is A02 the final version..would be kinda crazy to keep on restoring again and again..I presume there are always things that need to be fixed just like any operating system. Thanks again for the info :) :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] meklord:
I'd assume its not installed by default because its pretty big and very few people use it compared to the over all number people installing the rom. yes it does work however, i had to download the full installer, which can be found via google. the cab only install did not work for me with any of these roms for some reason.

2003se ->> Wm6 A02

Hi Everyone,

Total nube here and would like some clarification before I go ahead and upgrade.

Currently have the x50v loaded with WM2003 SE v4.21.1088 ROM A05.

I have downloaded the WM5 A01 and A02 ROM as well as WM6 A02 RTM.

To backup my ROM, should I use the built-in WM2003SE backup tool or you guys recommend something like SPB Backup or Clone? or even PIM Backup?

Do I just follow the same steps each time to upgrade to the next ROM?

1) Unpack files from archive into root of FAT32 SD-Card.

2) Insert the SD-Card into your Axim and start the SD Image Loader by Pressing Wireless + Power + Reset

3) The Image Loader will search for flash images on your SD-Card.

4) Press the action key twice, this starts the update process.

5) After the process is finished you will be asked to hard reset your device. Follow this instruction and wait for the OS to load.

My PDA currently doesn't have any apps installed so I just want to ensure that I can revert to WM2003SE if something goes wonky.

Thanks a bunch for your help.

Psyched.
