ROM Development????

Not sure what usap 's post is all about but my question is very much about ROM development? I'm looking for a registry change that will fix the problem that the CURRENT STOCK ROM has that means that bbconnect will not work?

I currently have WWE_1.34.831.1_52.24.25.08_0.93.25 loaded and have tried the standard "Tweaks" from past "ROM Development" but none have worked so far? I'm on constant watch for another ROM release (Cooked or Stock) or a Registry fix to help solve the problem?

ShogunMark - do you really think the thread was in the wrong place???? If its not ROM development then I'm in need of some guidance?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] usap:
Im tying to change in HEX Editor the Signatures. For example there are DIAM100 (or DIAM10000) and build 19588. I changed it to HERM200 and 19588->17745. I can change it without changing the size of .nbh. But thre are "Diamont" Signatures too and by changing Diamong->Hermes wir have one less character (7->6). It changed the size of the .nbh.

So im trying to flash it to the Diamond nad about 96% OK, but then ROM flash error.

A meaning of it all is that it have to work, because RIM asks the Number and NAME and then when its in the list->OK, NO->pending.

I need some tools like SSPL 1.34 and ROMUpdate Utility that dont asks of CRC or something else.

Please Help

I've seen a few members reporting that they have a later ROM version > 1.35.707.3 - See thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=394985&page=12 I have not been able to find this as an officially released ROM and I'm not aware that its been dumped as yet? This slightly newer ROM may help solve the problems and may help usap with his question on the version number?

If there's anyone out there who know's the AKU and the version number for ROM 1.35.707.3 can you let us know???

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] walshieau:
he moved the thread as it WAS in the wrong place, blackberry connect isnt related to Diamond ROM Development.

Yes you have to Hex edit the ROM to get it to work, but it doesnt belong in that forum, and to your other question the newer build of ROM is not a newer AKU or build.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Blob8me:
I disagree - for most every other device - getting bbconnect to work has been the result of ROM Development - if your familiar with the other device forums - you'll see that Blackberry discussion is often linked with and found in the ROM development forum?

HOWEVER - I dont really care which thread it sits in as long as "we" can work on a solution if there is one available?

FINALLY - Thank you for the information on the Malaysian ROM :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] walshieau:
yes the ROM needs to be HEX edited but it has nothing really to do with the "development" of a ROM :).

so when we get HardSPL ready and installed i will show everyone how to hex edit the ROM NBH files and then reflash it so bb connect can be used.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
I'm not sure who to agree with...it really shouldn't matter so much to people.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Blob8me:
Agreed - It shouldn't matter and here it will stay :)

I'm hoping for a tweak to the stock ROM (or even a "fixed" stock ROM to be released as I've heard that a next build Rom is due soon - and this has neen the main reason behind the delay in the UK and EU formal release??? Apparently - despite the popularity of "our" site less than 5% of device owners actually change anything on their phone never mind update firmware - official or otherwise? HTC are trying to minimise "support" issues by ironing out as many bugs before the next release - I know for a FACT that they use this site as a major test ground for any new device - so maybe the expansys release was intended after all???)

Thanks again.....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
Yep, all of the evidence suggests that that's the reason behind the delayed release in Europe. New ROM. Hopefully with none of the bugs we've found so far (but I doubt it).

And that's a really interesting fact. It would be both nice and worrying to know that we influence them. (Nice when good devices like the Touch Diamond are announced, but worrying when there are major problems, such as that big driver problem).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] usap:
Offtop (maybe)

I was playing yesterday with another phone and became the ROM extracted. So Registry and some of the files have the name of it in it. And I changed it to another name (Herm200 and HTC-HERMES) so that after the recreating and flashing the ROM it was everywhere Hermes. But PHONE ROM was dead (No signal, no phone). There were some imei*.pfg and some *.rgu and *.dsm where I changed all to HTC-HERMES and HERM200. So I had to flashing it to normal ROM.

And by the Diamond i worked with not extracted ROM. So i think there are 2 roads to change it: in extracted and not extracted ROM.

What do you think about it?

UPDATE on 1.34.831.1 and bbconnect?

Have just tried all the usual routes with the new EU Rom (details below) having used OliNex's SPL to Flash:

ROM: 1.34.831.1 WWE

Date: 5/25/08

WM6.1 CE OS 5.2.19588 (Build 19588.1.1.4)

Radio: 0.93.25.NS16

Protocol version: 52.24.25.08H

:mad: Still no success..... I've seen that there are other Roms also out there such as 1.35.871.5 but not yet available?

I was hoping that the Stock EU Rom would be OK as in the past the Stock "Official" Roms have run bbconnect with no changes and no problems???

If anyone has any other suggestions then your help would be greatly appreciated?

UPDATE ON Elite 1.0 and bbconnect....

Still nothings working - Sigh.....

I've got a specific request in the main Elite 1.0 Rom thread for walshieau to add bbconnect support now that HSPL is released - so hoping it wont be too long now!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Blob8me:
walshieau - any news on working on a solution now that we have HSPL out???? Can you add bbconnect compatability to the next Elite release???? :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Blob8me:
UPDATE on 1.37.405 and bbconnect

Just added a comment on the main thread for this, the latest WWE EU Rom Release...... still not playing.... :mad:

USAP - Any more thoughts??

walshieau - come on - you promised to help with a solution.....??? :confused: Help me out here????
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Blob8me:
Refresh......

Just refreshing as I'm getting desperate for a solution as I use the blackberry function for work and really don't want to switch back to my touch dual - has ANYONE had any success on the diamond with bbconnect? :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Blob8me:
Another "post" refresh.....

I'm still struggling to find a solution for this....???? In fact, I'm starting to wonder if there is a solution at all? Has anyone had any success at all with installing blackberry connect on any of the diamond Roms? :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] xphobic:
me waiting for a solution also. from what i notice, we just need 1 carrier to support bb on the diamond n we r all set. currently this is what i hav experience with the touch n touch dual which i have been able to connect despite local carrier not supporting it.

give a shout out if u do come across a solution though.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] walshieau:
to all, Elite 2.0 ROM will be Hex Edited and WILL work with Blackberry Connect :)

stay tuned ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Blob8me:
Ecellent - I really am in need of this fix - I've noted from the Elite Thread that your 2.0 release is due Monday or Tuesday.... I cant wait.... Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] lmr2003:
Hi guy,

Any update on that ?

I'm using BIS and I have installed the version 4.0.0.97 and it is connected.

My problem is that I have a PIN code with 2 letters (previously on my TYTN 2 I only had numbers) at the end of this PIN code. It seems that blackebery service doesn't accept my PIN code.

Any ideas ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Blob8me:
I'm still waiting for Walshieau to release 2.1 of the Elite Rom as he's promised BlackBerry support???

I've also read that as soon as your operator "adopts" the device then bbconnect will work as it will accept the device i.d. thats carried when it tries to connect to the service - not sure how much "fact" there is in that? I'm on vodafone and they do not yet plan to sell the diamond?

Another "rumour" I've read about is an expected 4.1 release of the bbconnect software that will include BlackBerry I.M. and that HTC will ship this embedded in the Touch Pro Rom? All rumours from people like me that want the service now I expect though?

So..... Walshieau when can we expect either Elite 2.1 or Elite 2.5 ??? :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] peebee01:
I thought you could always "trick" bbconnect by making it think it's installed on a different device.

Could you try setting the device_ID (Settings / System / About ) to HTC_TyTN and changing the AKU in the registry: HKLM\System\Versions to: .0.4.2
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] lmr2003:
Thanks but it doesn't work
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Blob8me:
Unfortunately although it may have seemed that "we" were just tricking bbconnect into thinking we were using different devices its a little more complicated than that? :confused:

I'm still waiting for walshieau to deliver either the next version of the Elite Rom or a tweak of the current version as he's promised a blackberry fix but I imagine he's been vaught up with other things? I'm also hoping that Tom Codon releases his 1st Diamond Rom soon and that we'll see bbconnect support here as well? :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] peebee01:
Just to make sure, you would need to make these changes, reboot, verify the registry change was stored.

Than install BBConnect

Changing the registry etc. after you've installed BBconnect wouldnt work

I'm actually waiting for the diamond pro as I need it for Blackberry, so really hope this is sorted by the time the pro comes out

RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_1.37.401.3

No suprise here I suppose???

Another Rom Tested and another failure...... Sigh....!

Come on Walshieau - give us a fix....!!!!! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Blob8me:
Hi Patrick. Unfortunately all of the standard and very basic changes I've tried so far have failed? It would appear that its not a known AKU issue and changing the device id alone doesnt help either whether its done in advance, or after the installation of bbconnect? I'm waiting on either a "fixed" cooked Rom as promised by Walshieau or a new bbconnect version supporting HTC or for one of the major carriers such as Vodafone to support the Diamond - the latter is probably the most hopeful at the moment? :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] peebee01:
OKay, but I doubt any of the carriers will support BBConnect on the diamond till the Diamond Pro comes out
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] lmr2003:
Hi all,

I maybe have found an alternative.

I need also bbconnect but as it doen't work, i suggest you, as I have done since yesterday and it works fine, to use emoze :

http://www.emoze.com/en/get/index.asp

Regarding the device, choose the HTC Touch, it will give you a cab and it is easier to configure your Diamond

I have created a rule to forward to a new email adress @gmail.com and then I receive, via push mail, all my emails.

It is free and it works fine :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Blob8me:
Definately a good interim solution!

Thanks Imr2003 :D

I've just installed this and set it up to run with my corporate email system via WebMail Server rather than using a seperate email account such as G-Mail - I'm not sure how it will work out in the long run but all seems good for now!

I've run some standard tests - receiving a new email in about 30 seconds, a new calendar appointment in about 40 seconds - seemed to update in "bursts" initially and also apears to be updating my contacts so - YES - I can use this as a Blackberry alternative for the time being! :)

I'm gonna keep trying and watching for the Blackberry - bbconnect - solution but this is definately going to help for now! Thanks again!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sjanzen:
I have a dedicated pc logged in at my office sending all my emails to me via a software called Seven. www.seven.com

MUCH better than emoze as long as you don't use earlier service packs of Office XP or earlier versions of Office (was sending blank emails...lol). You can use it through a carrier, or like I did via a desktop connector. If you choose the desktop connector option, you need to sign up for the beta testing program.

Good Luck
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Blob8me:
sjanzen Thanks for sharing..... Another "possible" alternative "Yes" but the advantage of emoze is that IF you have web mail on your corporate system it taps straight into that so no need to leave a dedicated pc running anywhere? I think for simplicity (its really easy to set up) and either simply "working or not" emoze is a better interim corporate solution until bbconnect for the Diamond is fixed? :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sjanzen:
Sorry, Seven has support for web mail as well. My company is in the dark ages though and doesn't support it. Thus all the jumping through hoops...lol.

I really found emoze to be problematic. Messages would sit in my outbox for a long time, or would be sent but not delivered. And tech support was completely unresponsive.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] lmr2003:
Hi

Thanks for sharing. I have tried Seven and it is a little bit complicated on set up and so on... but it works also fine. I don't know if it is free.

Thanks for the information, i will go back to emoze
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Blob8me:
2 really good alternatives to Blackberry and bbconnect above and one of them is definateley free to use as well.... but......

:eek: I WANT MY BLACKBERRY APPLICATIONS & EMAIL BACK...!!!!!! :eek:

So to all the Guys out there with the technical know how (Tom, Dutty, Walshieau etc) and anyone from RIM who may be reading this - Can we have a new Rom that supports Blackberry or (wishful thinking I know) a new bbconnect release from RIM? :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] lmr2003:
I agree with you.

If someone could find a solution.

I have succefuly to find PIN code and my device was connected to the BB network but when I update my Imei code and my Pin code on my BIS access, there's an error message. So I think that we have a RIM issue.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Blob8me:
UPDATES....?????

Just pointed another member to this thread? :confused:

Anyone have any Updates? Walshieau - any news on the Elite 2.1 or 2.5 release with bbconnect supported as promised? :cool:

Still using emoze as a temporary solution but need a propper solution!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Blob8me:
Diamond Project Roms Tested....

I've tested bbconnect on all 3 of the Diamond Project releases (both of the 1.0 versions and the 2.0 release from last night) and no suprise again I suppose - not working. Dutty suggested the AKU .0.4.2 fix for Diamond Project V1.0 and of course I tried but nothing.... still waiting for the next Elite 2.1 or 2.5 release from Walshieau but expect he's pretty busy and I can understamd that its not an easy job- I for one couldnt do it .....

So - Anyone else got any news???

I emailes HTC tech support a couple of days ago - just to ask (already knowing the answer???) and got the following response:

Not too helpful - if anyone has any other news then please share? I'm still waiting on a fix from Walshieau - see the Elite 3.0 thread for details.

.:cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] AhNe:
Alright guys, I've seen so many threads about this topic...

The answer given by the HTC guy is the best you can get. I'm working in 2nd lvl BlackBerry Supprot for a german carrier and as far as I know about that BlackBerry Connect Software, you can not get it to run until a fitting version gets released. like it is written above, the single clients are 'bound' to a certain range of devices (using the IMEI to check this). So as long as there is no client released it should not be possible to get it running, because you'll not be able to connect to the NOC (RIM's BlackBerry Infrastructure).

One more thing: If you want to use BlackBerry Service - get yourself a BlackBerry. The BlackBerry Connect clients can be very frustrating. Also this solution (BlackBerry Connect Clients) will be discontinued soon anyway. They're working on something entirely new to get BB Service to WiMo Devices. Stay tuned; but remember, BlackBerry Service: BlackBerry > WiMo!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] leiltd:
I cannot fully agree with the information from HTC Europe.

I had an MDA Vario III / TYTnII on T-Mobile UK. Unfortunately, T-Mobile no longer support BB Connect on newer devices and so could not provide software.

However, on another link on this site, I found the BB Connect software on AT&T's USA site for the "Tilt" (their name for TyTnII)

It downloaded OK and worked absolutely fine !!!!!

However, I found the TyTnII is too big and heavy and I went back to a Blackberry Pearl. It is certainly faster to access emails when the device has a large number of emails on it.

Nonetheless, I too would like to see how my (free upgrade) Diamond works with BB Connect.

I have been in touch with HTC America. It was suggested that there may well be BB Connect software available once the Diamond & Diamond Pro are available from the major carriers.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Blob8me:
AhNe - Thanks for your input and comments - a few inacuracies in your statement regarding why bbconnect may or may not work but forgiven...

I am VERY interested in this part of your post though:

I have heard that RIM werte working on a new solution (or a new version of bbconnect) but have yet to see any beta's or signs? Walshieau has a completely new way of managing Blackberry email (so he tells us in the Elite 3.0 thread) so maybe he has access to some of the beta WiMo software? Who knows?

So - the wait goes on. I'm likely to get a Touch Pro next week - as more business users take up the new devices maybe the carriers (in my case vodafone) will add the devices to the supported list?

.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] walshieau:
its not bound to the IMEI ;)

Blackberry Connect gets the System Version and cross references that with the version for the model in the RIM DB via RIM's own APN!

Yes RIM were supposed to be working on "something new" for WinMo devices, this has been in the works for the past two years and has a while to go yet before "we" even see an alpha copy.

I hope to release a patched version of Blackberry Connect sometime this week.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Blob8me:
Hey Walshieau

hope the Diamonds in recovery now ;) and that the guys at HTC send it back to you as good as new.... or that we managed to scrape enough between us for a replacement?

Looking forward to a solution to the bbconnect issue as you know - so "this week" would be great..... Maybe with the next Elite issue???

Take care.....

PS: When changing from Diamong->Hermes you have to fill then 7th (last) character by 00. The size of the .nbh should be same afterwards.
