Hey Boy,

Should I be able to install V6.0 using SoftSPL, or does it require that I use HardSPL? I am getting freeze up at 85%, doesn't solve to go to boot loader - seems to complete, but then my old ROM (T-Mobile update) is still there -didn't install.

Thanks!

I cannot hear the bluetooth incoming sound via my bluetooth carkit

Great rom!!

Except I have a problem with bluetooth and calling with my bluetooth carkit.

I can connect to my bluetooth carkit and I can call except the person on the other side of the line can hear me but I cannot hear the person. So the sound is not coming in. When I start TomTom and so my bluetooth GPS is connected I can call everyone and the sound is perfect, outgoing as well as incoming.

I really does not want to start TT with my bluetooth GPS everytime when I want to use my bluetooth carkit.

What might be the problem here?

I found the same and have happily disabled the top white battery bar. I allowed WTask to put the battery icon in the upper bar which works fine as an icon only. Thanks for the great ROM Boy!

I am new to this. Just bricked my first device - see entry 189 and related .... Apology accepted from Commander5555. I guess I learned my lesson to seek confirmation from a second source before proceeding with "new advice" eh ...

But happily had a spare. You ROM 6 is the fastest, most stable. Only one that runs TouchFlo and Cube without SMOOTH look and feel on my devices!

I need to upgrade my radio and running into issues. At 2.25 and ready for 2.61. Will try MUN RUU version - is it OK to do so from bootloader window?

-Mike

PS: Is Windows Mobile 6.1 actually already released? When is 7.0 expected? Seeing small blurbs about this.

Boy - I looked over your Kitchen ROM - far as I can tell there is no way for me to add MY OWN APPs into your system? What is the theoretical maximum size of a ROM using your technique of opening ExtROM?

Also, using Advanced tools I am still not able to view ExtROM. Should I be able to use that as program install space? Did you do so in your ROM, or just as CAB storage? Please respond with details for my learning! AWESOME ROM!

AFTER BRICKING MY G4 - see 189+ above, I NOW HAVE A G3 - upgrade IPL/SPL to 3.08 ?

OK, I forgive you Commander5555. So, I luckily had just received another T-Mobile MDA (intended for my wife, now mine ...). Turns out it is a G3. So now I get to play the other side of this game.

Would and expert moderate please advise me:

With a G3 running Radio 2.61 be best left at IPL/SPL 2.26 or upgraded to 3.08? What are the advantages or disadvantages? If no advantages, I am happy where I am (especially after my recent G4 disaster ... see 189+ links this thread).

Gratefully,

Mike
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Some claim 3.08 helps make the phone faster on booting. Thats the only benefit I've ever heard. In all my time with the Wizard, I've never upgraded to IPL/SPL 3.08 and just stayed at 2.26. Saw no reason to upgrade, and there have been reports that some G3's that have went up to 3.08 couldn't go back down to the button ROM (SPL wouldn't change). I'm old fashioned, but with all the success of IPL/SPL 2.26, and no real known benefits to 3.08, I saw no reason to upgrade to it.

Good luck and glad you are back with us...

BTW: the other phone may be able to be saved with a JTAG recovery. I've never done this, but there are reports in the Wizard forum (and Wizard Upgrading) of people with bricked devices resurrecting them by doing JTAG (which is a hardware jump start basically).

Can anyone comment on the Advanced Configuration Tool V1.1 Schap's 2007, included in OCTAIVOI 6.0 Rom. The Miscellaneous (Misc) tab has options to "Show Extended ROM" and "Unlock Extended ROM".

When I check these, I cannot detect that the ACT v1.1 actually changes anything on my device. I can use the Windows Service Tool V 4.2.1 by Mestrini to actually make the extended ROM visible. I can also format the extended ROM from WST 4.2.1. On my T-Mobile MDA running Octaivoi V6 the ExtRom is then displayed as Extended_ROM2 in the root directory of my device. I can write some, but not all files to the Extended_ROM2 directory, but cannot then delete them - only by using WST to format the ExtRom again. So, it appears that the Extended ROM is not truly unlocked.

I was hoping to regain the extra 9-10 Mb for program installation (not just CAB storage). Anybody else tried this, or found a solution to truly/fully unlock the Extended ROM region on the HTC Wizard? If so please post and PM me. May also send direct to drmulligan@aol.com if you don't mind.

Several more questions - JTAG in Denver, CO and FULLY UNLOCKING extended ROM?

IMFRAZZZ -turning to you as a knowledgeable and cautious source:

I am afraid my MDA/Wizard is indeed bricked. Tried all the fancy button/Soft Reset tricks after leaving battery out for 1 full day - no go. The JTAG issue appears WAY too technical for me ... unless there is a competent person in Denver, Colorado to go to?

I also read something about simply replacing the chip (soldering on new one from another busted phone) - but I don't really have access to that either. What is a fair price to sell this brick?

Do I tell the willing buyer simply that it has improper IPL/SPL codes flashed, or that the motherboard is actually now BAD?

About this rom, its look great, fast e beautiful. It's just one think that i can't modify: the time there is only AM or PM? here in portugal we use more 24h mode.

I wonder if someone can help me!

Lets eait and see :)

weird thing. my phone wont go into bootloader mode anymore after flashing this rom.I didn't notice it till now, when I tried to flash the new radio rom. the phone turns off when its ready to flash and remains off. I have to remove the battery and put it back in to restart the phone. anyone else notice this? I know I didn't have this problem before because I flashed this rom the last. I have a G4 with hard SPL. I already tried different update utilities, especially ones I know for sure to work and no luck. Anyone have any clue as to what is going on?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] robtor22:
My last call, I didn't detect any problems, the calls was perfect..

Maybe operator problems on the first calls!

ColdSpirit, a think this rom is fantastic, it's fast (faster than original rom wm5) and stable in my G4 winzard.

Did you try those basic steps for bootloader loading? try this in case you didn't already:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1136516&postcount=1

Also, by looking in your overclocking size, I'd suggest you to use 273 maximum cause overclocking beyond this point normally turns your device unstable.

Good luck!:D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] nitroproductions:
Thanks for the reply epimazzo. I tried your method but the update utility does not detect the device when activesync is closed or shut down. As for the overclock, I have found 286 mhz to be the highest I could go without risking stability.

I took out my 4GB mini sd out and was able to put it into bootloader mode by holding down the camera button trick. weird thing is, i wanted to see if the card was the cause of the problem and so I stuck it back in and I tried the update utility again with the card in and it worked. I have no idea why my phone was acting up for the brief few days. oh well, all good now. Thanks for the help. :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] epimazzo:
Glad to hear that!

Sometimes all steps are simple, sometimes not. At this time, what really matters is to bring our techtoy to live again and we don't care how!:D

I've seen too many ways of getting our devices operational again after a "fake" brick state and believe me....there's no miracle!:p

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] lkmda:
A couple of questions

This looks like an interesting ROM, and I'd like to try it.

Can boy_de_get or a current user of V6 please answer a couple of questions:

1. The name of V6 includes "Extended ROM" in its title while most previous versions don't include that. What's the implication here? Is V6 a complete ROM or just an extended ROM that is designed to be flashed in on top of a previous version of Octaivoi?

2. Can somebody pls post whether or not file syncing (via ActiveSync) works with this ROM? I noticed that it doesn't work with some ROMs even when other items (contacts, appointments, etc) do sync nicely.

3. Does it include the bootloader (IPL/SPL) or it doesn't? (hope it doesn't...)

Many thanks, guys!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] nitroproductions:
This is not just the extended rom. It is a complete rom. Activesync works fine with it with no problems at all. It does not include IPL/SPL and so its safe for G3 and G4 devices. I'm using v6.0 and i have no complaints so far except for a small bootloader problem that magically resolved itself. Enjoy.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] epimazzo:
Hi Commander!

You actually don't need this specific Kitchen ROM's tutorial for Octaivoi's series. Most ROMs here are cooked using the same principle and tools. Concept is always the same thing. So, I suggest you look for TheLoon's kitchen tutorial which is nice and easy to understand. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=345642

You can also start doing some digging in the Wiki session which I confess is being a really great start point for new Cookers.

A RUss741 word: Go to the WiKi and read Faria's tutorial on building ROMs, I think it is also a sticky at the top of the Wizard Mobile 6 thread.

Good Luck my friend!;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] lkmda:
Many thanks and a small advice

Many thanks, nitroproductions - appreciate your advice. I'll give it a shot.

In return, here is a little advice of my own: I reviewed your posts, and it seems you're using a 4Gb memory card, right? I think I saw a number of posts that such cards tend to create all sorts of unexpected problems. So, this might be a source of the issues you've experienced.

Thanks again, man.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] nitroproductions:
I have had 4Gb cards before and I know of the problems that it can cause. This is a new card and so far I haven't had any problems. When the problems of flashing happened for me and later automatically resolved, I tried to flash both with the card in the slot and without and it worked fine. So I can't blame the care for this problem. Let me know how things work out with the flash.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] lkmda:
Thanks

I understand - thanks. BTW, is the pic in your signature is that of the OCTAIVOI's today page?... It looks like he hasn't posted any screen shots, right?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] nitroproductions:
I am using Octaivoi's 6.0 rom but the today screen is a combination of things. The clock is from HTC home customizer and its called brush stroke and the theme is called nature. I believe i got the theme from somewhere here on xda.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] lkmda:
Thanks, initial impressions, and a couple of questions

Thanks for the info and for your help, nitro; boy-o-g., many, many thanks for the wonderful ROM.

I've installed the ROM today, and here are my initial impressions:

-installs very smoothly, with no problems whatsoever;

-almost everything seems to work properly with very few bugs (see below for some bugs); in fact, I'm not observing even some of the problems other users mention in the forum;

-however, here is one bug I've already noticed: if you go to the menu that allows you to add programs to HTC Today's launcher and then _not_ select anything, then, when you return to the launcher, the device is freezing and has to be reset;

-the ROM is quick when Touchflow is not activated but becomes painfully slow when it is;

-ROM contains some programs that are not even mentioned in its description;

-but I can't find some programs that _are_ mentioned in ROMs description (post 1). Here is what I can't find: TwTask (unless you mean WkTask); NetWizard (unless it runs in the background with no obvious explicit access to it?); MMS 4.2; BiTouch settings (unless it has a different name in menues?); Remote Desktop Mobile; SymbolPad; and Keyboard Set Locale. It is quite possible that those are not programs but features installed; it would be good to know.

Another minor detail: there is a digital clock in the top bar that's not needed since there is a huge clock in the HTC today. So, the clock in the top bar just occupies valuable space. There doesn't seem to be any way to get rid of it: even after I uncheck "show clock in all programs" under settings-clock&alarms, it's still there (!).

Questions: (a) I noticed that some actions reset the list of recent programs (the one under start menu) but I can't figure out which one(s). (b) Is there a built-in utility to add and/or remove programs to/from the lower task bar? If not, does anybody know where to find one?

nitro, about the HTC home customizer: is it supposed to be in the ROM somewhere (I can't find it)? If not, could you perhaps point me to where you've found it?

All in all, it's a great ROM, and almost everything that I really need is built-in. I had to add PocketController, MortPlayer, OneCalc, and Opera. But even after that, there is still plenty of memory left, 24.8M.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] nitroproductions:
I'm sure if you search on here somewhere you can find HTC Home customizer, but here is a direct link to the developers website. This is the latest version of the software (v1.0 BETA 5).

- You will find remote desktop under the connections tab in settings.

- Correct me if I'm wrong, but BiTouch settings are basically the two settings for touchflo rite? if so, they are both under the system tab in settings.

- Symbol pad is part of your keyboard. if you click on the up arrow next to your on-screen keyboard, you will find the symbol pad there.

- Keyboard set locale, i believe, is a registry setting that sets your keyboard to the default language of the device (English, German, etc.)

- MMS 4.2 is the mms composer that is present under the messages

- I'm not sure about twtask but i am thinking its the same as wktask, not fully sure though

I tried to reproduce the bug that you described on my device, but it wouldn't hang up. so far with all the missing software and bug that you are facing, you have have a bad flash. try hard resetting the device and see if it works fine. if not, try reflashing the rom. Hope this helps.

If you do decide to make another version of your ROM, perhaps the active-sync-via-BT bug could be fixed. It seems like what's missing to make it work is an ability to add/specify ports under BT menu.

You have to CID-unlock your device first. Learn how to do it (there are plenty of tutorials) first, and don't do anything until you have understood and learned this issue properly. Otherwise, you're going to kill your device.
