Thanks, Xenormoph, but after copying this dll to my \Windows directory and restarting my device, the camera application has just refused to run. I have had to restore to the former environment, by copying the original one (which is 587KB long) back to its place. After another restart, the camera has started working again.

Perhaps it requires other files as well, in order to work correctly...

Cheers!

Custom ROM for 9502 in progress...

Thank you :D

Hehehe... btw, do I need to put MMS template and it's custom sound? You know, stuff like image named "pond,utah,birthday,etc" and sound named "allouette,bark,etc".. Not the default WM6 ringtone or sound.. Coz they take about 500kb...

Also the Office template such as "vehicle mileage, phone memo, etc", not the "Blank template"... It's taking about 500kb also...

And about embedded VoIP, still working on it.. :cool:

Also, do I need to put custom CommManager? like HTC one... Coz the built in is suck... :p

Hi there, slightly OT but i managed to ****ed up my 9502. I've installed SPB Full Screen Keyboard but didn't like it that much so I've uninstalled it straight away and soft reset my device. The problem now is that my phone is not starting up. It's passing the unlock screen but it's hanging up on "enter pin". Is there any way of accessing internal storage - as i need to copy some files from there before I'll do hard reset?

Regards

iwwwwwwi
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Crescendo Xenomorph:
Hmmm, do you have program like MyMobiler or SOTI PocketController installed? Is yes,you can input using that.. Is the hardware keyboard locked also?

regarding internal storage,you can access it via previously synced ActiveSync or WMDC (Vista) :D

I got famous WM6 auto-random password problem. After uninstalling BBConnect, the built-in password enabled by itself and doesn't respond to any of my password, so I just connect it to my comp and do backup using Spb Backup 2 (via Spb Backup Sync Tool in my comp) and hard reset... You can try that method.... :D

Goodluck :D

Hi Xenomorph,

I'm Vietnamese and my Network Operator also in Viet Nam. I've just updated new Rom (I mean WM6.1 Version 1.77) and now it's a big problem: The new Rom does not support configuration files for my network operator, that's why I can not make or receive a phone call. So now I really need to downgrade my one back to Windows Mobile 6 professional. Unfortunately, my one is a secondhand one, so I don't have account to log on to iMate website (I can not register to become iMate's Member).

As I know, you're expert in iMate. Would you do me a favor to give me a download link for WM6 of iMate 8502.

Thank you so much.

Attention everyone!!!

Everyone 9502 user, please download program named ResHacker and transfer the Camera.exe file to your computer.

Open with ResHacker and navigate to BITMAP > 213 > 1033, see that there should be an option for GPS Photo. :D

And further, navigate to String Table > 19 >1028, read the 298 line, I'll paste that here: "If the GPS is active one can record the GPS position when the photo is taken. The information can be stamped on the photo or just recorded in the extended information."

So it's obvious that 9502 Camera program is GPS Photo capable

And also support this: "Video Camera supports the two file formats: MP4, 3GP."

Also: it can do "Auto" and "Sport Mode"

See that? Those are missing in our current camera. It's registry-disabled or maybe miss some dependency dll. Remember some QC*.* file that I asked in imate forum long ago? I really suspected that those file are the dll needed.

Check that Camera.exe and you'll know that actually 9502 is GPS Photo capable but need some workaround..

So,please help me with this... I already cleared the SpeedDial problem... So only this thing that need workaround...

Let us unite and help each other find the solution to enable the GPS Photo... :cool:

Reverse engineer

Apparently I got to reverse engineer this Camera.exe using SoftICE. I want to know what Camera.exe wants to run properly.

I got "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Camera" that related to Camera.exe. Tried to delete all key inside that and run Camera. After closing the Camera app, all keys inside that just recreate by itself but nothing about GPS Photo. So i think i-Mate crippled the Camera.exe by removing something in the ROM.

I tried to contact i-mate just now and their answer is just "same old record" from last time. Saying bull****... :mad: And I tried to contact mobinnova,still waiting for the answer but I bet they wouldn't bother to answer me, they got new toy Mobinnova ICE. :mad:

So I decided to reverse engineer the program. Anything that come up after reading my post will help me a lot. So please come with something helpful.. :rolleyes:

Thanks for everybody here... especially casouzaj and Shonky... :D

i-Mate 9502 Beta ROM done!

Here's the beta ROM. I have strip all junk inside and do some changes to the system.

About CP.mbn I don't have any idea how to put it back to one pieces :confused:

Still figuring out how to do that..

And now working on unlocking Extended ROM, Embedded VoIP-3G, and patch the GeoTagging so it'll work as it should. ;)

Bytheway anyway busway, it's beta ROM. Read the instruction carefully and enjoy.. :D

Any comment and suggestion welcomed.. ^o^

Hmm, btw, where should I put this so everyone can download?

I'll try megaupload...

Link will be posted below... And the password is: Xenomorph...

Uploading now... Estimated time upload 4 hours (my connection for upload is slow).. T,T

Hi Xenomorph,

Already refreshing this page every minute...:D

Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but, for what I have understood, there's still work in progress on the embedded VoIP via 3G, the geotagging feature, and the extended ROM unlocking. If so, would you mind telling us whether such functions will be available as cab files later on, or we'll have to reflash the ROM when they are done?

Thanks, anyway.

Update fails !!!

Hi Xenomorph,

I have run the update twice already. At the very end of the process, when it checks the update, an error rmessage comes up at the top of the screen stating "Sorry, Files on SD error !(w)" (coloured like this), and the checking bar stucks at 0%.

Should I try to flash v1.73 or v1.77 again?

Thanks,

Carlos
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Crescendo Xenomorph:
Workaround...

Wait, mine is OK..

Your PDA still connected? If yes, then reflash it with 1.77 official first..

I'll reproduce that error.. That has something to do with protect checksum in the flash program..

Temp fix

Casouzaj, try to extract all files in 'C:\temp' folder... :)

Cheers,

Xenomorph
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] casouzaj:
Yes, that's exactly what I did. After the first time I tried to flash, I noticed that your launcher fetched all files from there. Rest assured that the two failed attempts (remember: the error message was issued after all files were successfully copied from my lappy to my device) were launched from c:/temp.

For your records, I successfully flashed v1.73 right afterwards. The odd thing it that, unlike v1.77, this one is failing to connect through 3g. GPRS/Edge are OK. Go figure...

Waiting for further instructions from you. Eager to flash your custom ROM...:)

Thanks in advance !

Hi Xenomorph,

As I couldn't get a 3g connection with v1.73, I've given your custom ROM one more try, but the same error message appeared again (after all the files are copied to the device). So, I'm back to v1.77...

Thanks, anyway.

Hi casouzaj,

Wait wait, the 1.73 3G conn should be OK. Ah, I managed to reproduce the problem once, it appears that the checksum check is mismatch with the one hardcoded in the original ROM. As it's altered in many ways.

I'll alter the EUM Application so it can accept custom one..

Now mine is using my custom ROM.. :D

Try to flash without SIM and memory card.. I always take out SIM and my memory card whenever flashing.. :p

Still working on flashing issue, the ROM is OK, both tested with emulator and my 9502. Only the EUM App is the problem...

I don’t think GPS Gate would do the trick. iGo won’t even launch. It is acting just like the WM6.1 upgrade in the Tilt with the HTC Home Plugin running. It will spin the hour glass thingy but never launches. On the tilt, if you disable HTC Home iGo will launch. On the 8502 I have done a HARD REST installed nothing and iGo still will not launch.

I have gone back to my Tilt and will have to sell my 8502. GPS is that important to me as I travel a LOT. ARGH!!!

OT: spb backup

Hi there,

Sorry for another OT here but it seams that this is the most active i-mate specific thread ;) Perhaps we should write a petition or something to XDA-Dev admins requesting i-mate specific subforum ;)

Did any of you managed to use SPB Backup with Ultimate 9502 ? Everything works fine if there is no security code set up on phone. Whence it is set up the device is not booting up :/ I've also tried to do a backup without lock code set up, than I've uninstalled the software, did soft reset, set the lock code back and did another soft reset, but it didn't change anything. The device is still not booting. It looks that it's passing the unlock screen (after typing in the code) and than it's hanging up on WM logo :/

Safe mode from SPB Pocket Plus is not helping either :/

Do you have any other ideas ?
