First of all I wanna notice that if you flash my custom - you will see that a lot of official rom features are missing.

I deleted many apps, input methods, sounds, themes and other things that I don't use. So - it can be a real disappointment to you.

So you should be able to install some missing software by yourself.

Second - to flash wm6.1 you should update the bootloader first. Normally the bootloader is a part of official rom. In the customs rom-makers normally cut the bootloader away to avoid possible risks and to save some space.... And for some other reasons....

Remember - if anything's gone wrong while bootloader update - you will completely "brick" your device.

I have no idea about your skills and other things but I would offer you to get more experience first with your device.

Normally I can not describe all the hints, tricks, special tweaks and other things - it will take a hell of time....

I know how it works with the new user of the device who starts to use custom rom. First - ok evrything's fine, new rom works. Then - **** starts: no office, no T9, no sounds.... where to get all that and how to install?.... Than - ok I don't want your rom any more - but I am unable to flash back to official - and so on, and so on.....

So please - keep in mind - if you make a decision to use someone's custom - you do it on your own risk.

Next your question - which build is the best..... The best is always promised to be uploaded in several days :) For me - 20931 is good except ActiveSynk molestation. Next days I will upload the new ver. with more acceptable AS behaviour and less memory leaking....

Regards.

asus p525 cannot start after flash 2.ROM basic lite

please help, my asus p525 cannot start after upgrade to 2.ROM basic lite in this thread. it could only appear blue asus screen for awhile the it shut down back. i have tried to remove the battery and insert back from this morning until now it still the same.i did tried to hard reset but still it can be hard reset. please help me..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
yatlow, what ver was before you started to flash your device? Did the updating process passed through without mistakes?

Why did you choose #2 ver? It's old and without tweaks.... Why not the last one?

Sorry dude, I hate to disappoint you, but I won't do that - I mean I won't provide any links. And it has nothing to do with copyrights, cracked software, personal cordial dislike or other things.

You are to understand that if **** happens - I won't be able to help you in any way.

I have a nice example - on one of the Russian forums one guy asked for the bootloader (wanted to update his 525), got the link, flashed the device and that's it. The device was bricked. Who was guilty? For sure - that guy started to blame the person who uploaded the bootloader for him.

I only provide the nb0 file, made by myself. And that nb0 can only be flashed if the user already has WM6 installed. That's it.

Other things - like new bootloader, new radio, missing Office etc - sorry - don't ask me. Besides, I don't know any links - I have the same Google as you. All the files, utilities and other things that I use - I already have on my hard drive (collected via Google) and I am not going to upload them here....

asus p525 cannot start after flash 2.ROM basic lite

i dont know my version before i upgrade. but for sure it is windows mobile 5. i just took the rom that stated as stable in front post. please help me, my pda didnt start. just untill asus blue screen then it shut down again.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
Prior flashing custom WM6.1 you should update the bootloader!!! Normally my custom must give checksum error or other error if you do it straight from WM5. Why did it work with your phone - I don't know....What now.... good question....

Normally you should flash back to WM5 (ver 3.43 for example) - but the rom must be nb0 - not cap. Then update the bootloader (normally - download and flash official WM6 from Asus ftp (ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/IA/P525/) then - if you still want to have fun - flash my rom. And use the last one - not the one announced "stable" long ado - the first post was edited many times already....

asus p525 cannot start after flash 2.ROM basic lite

actually at first i cant flash using this ROM, it says invalid language file,but after that , i install unlock language, then it starts to work but at the end it fails..anyone have the same problem or know the solution, please help ya..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
micrographics, I don't know exactly what do you mean turnig to Alex - normally Alex is a different guy...

Anyway, custom wwe for P750 are available at 4pda.ru and at asusmobile.ru. Also VGA roms are there....

Your second question - definitely NO. Only rom dedicated should be flashed.

yatlow, you installed unlock language (your words)... How is it possible if your phone did not boot at all? If the OS can be loaded - than tell it more clear - maybe I will be able to help you....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jlj0425:
unlock language

please share me ur link to download unlock language. i already have the bootloader (version 7xxxxx but m not sure if it is the one u said the latest) and ur latest rom. then iam ready to update my asus p525. tnx, and dont worry i will not blame u if something go wrong with my p525. hopefully none. i also made a reasearch for the step by step procedures and i confident nothing will go wrong. unlock language link please and ur latest bootloader. tnx and more power for helping us p525 users.

yes. i have p525 with 23031. and my problem is the sip. default keyboard RU/EN. yess! but my location hungary... resco hun key dont work, max 23017. Andrews files dont work, my phone is dead. :S

any idea?

(sorry my bad english:))
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] downjones:
there are a few bugs on the interface: like unsharp icons in the start menu, cut edges and text, wrong language. Like you can see on the pictures.

By the way who has xt9.cab with english and russian for wm6.5? :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
guys, why do you want to use these new m$ things?

everything after 23017 is just bad joke..

if it is not ok, just throw it away, you have choice..so many good builds made by AndrewSh are there..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
Icons are distorted because I tried to save Titanium. Go HKLM/Software/Microsoft. Then - delete completely ConfettiPlus key (it's not the original MS key - I made it by myself). The menu icons will be fixed and the scrolling in startmenu will become smooth.... But you will straight enjoy absolutely unusable Titanium - I am talking not only about distorted fonts - see it yourself.

Russian slogan about low battery in WLAN - it's part of XIP (OEM) called ASUSMisc.dll. It exists in two variants, as I told already: Russian and Chinese. What do you prefer?

If I hack that dll with Restorator to fix menu for English one - I am not sure that the XIP will become bootable at all. The reason is that when I port XIP - this dll is the only unmovable - I can readdress all the other modules but not ASUSMisc.dll.

No buddy, you're not 100% right :)

Everything after 23017 DOES NOT FIT to P525 video OEM. And - that's sad. MS overloaded video too much. All the bloody weekend I was trying to fix that Titanium problem in 23028-23034. I failed due to hardware limitations of our old device....

If to tell the truth - 23034 is perfect. The only issue is Titanium distortion. It happens due to ccore.dll. If I take ccore from any build of COM4 or from 23403/23601 - Titanium is perfect again but bugs appear in Startmenu scrolling.

To make a rom without Titanium? Stupid idea...... But that will definitely work :)

So the conclusion - for the moment P252 owners can stop on 23017 - that's it.

I will check the upcoming COM3 branch - I will cook the roms and check them.

If MS guys (hopefully) just overloaded video on purpose for some kinda debugging matter - they will sooner or later stop the **** and will make normal ccore.dll. Than we will continue..... If not - the time has come to say good-bye to 525 and get a new device....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
BTW guys and gals, some Russian fellas asked me to cook 23034 without Titanium plugin with "classic" homescreen. If you're interested - notify here. That kind of rom will work on our device....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hussamf:
Why not? It is a good idea to build a new ROM without Titanium. All the best.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
hhhehh...is it?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
Sure stupid :) But if it is requested - why not? Some guys told me - they anyway hate Titanium and switch it off straight on my roms..... It's a chance for them to try new build....

LZX, PP 4 Mb, 520 MHz.

For those who does not read development and Hacking I wonna make clear some details:

1. Reboot after you finish flashing. Also it's not bad to reboot after applying new theme.

2. Hardware volume control (big button on the left side) - DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE IN THE USUAL WAY!!! Pushing it you get so called TitleBarScreen (see picture below)

Tap it (sound picture) and you will see volume control on screen - now you can adjust the volume with hardware button or stylus. To make TitleBar disappear - again push the hardware button but only if volume control is gone from screen by pushing OK.

3. Button Сall History - I renamed to All Calls - because long name does not fit to the button size

................

Generally speaking - that's all for now....

downjones - don't write me any more about Russian menus here and there - I tried to fix the XIP library for the English menu - the device did not boot afterwards.

English input - DOUBLE CLICK En on keyboard.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
well that program is working..at last(attachment..).

imo, this way presented by m$ is just ridiculous - worse, that xdadev "wowzers" will convince m$(which is watching for sure) that is good idea...

23034 stopped to be operating system for pocketpc, it is way to make fockin smartphone-of-moron-age ****, imo.

i lost any respect for m$ i had, now.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:

c'mon buddy - that's not the end.... MS guys are still in the middle of the way - reading xdadevs and thinking what to do ..... hopefully :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Prusten:
Hi all,

I don't know if it is a bug or a novelty but in the the "start menu" of the last room we have no more possibility to move a program's shortcut to the end or to the top as in older rooms.

Anyway, it's not a big matter because knowing what a WM6.5 Titanium is i don't think living without it now. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
Prusten, I did not check the feature - even I never used it, because it's possible to change the icons order via registry, but as far as I removed Titanium (cmhome.dll and it's resources) completely - the feature does not work. It's ot a big deal...... In all future builds I will check the feature - if Titanium again becomes usable - I will straight fix it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
it is end, M8.

i waited for years for NORMAL taskbar on bottom of screen, look what they have done. FFS.

maybe you can grab the english oem from there and some ideas...because as far as I remember they got it in english...

And cosidering your new rom without titanium.....the botton bar with fancy buttons is to thick and if you go to alarm time settings it will be a mess like in the previous version...it is cutting the buttom of other programs...so my conclusion, it looks nice...but it is pretty much beta :)..however it is not your fault...am wondering why it takes MS so long to make that thing final....and working!

Safe answer: P525_V3430_WWE (from Asus) :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
I can grab nothing there because it has limited downloads (10 times) and it's expired...

Programs....bottom cutting.... Why do you think it's MS problem? Maybe it's a problem of the programs? :) Who told that any soft is already WM6.5 compatible????? And who saw the final release of WM6.5???? Do you know that each build still has time-bomb inside?

If you miss that stuff - why don't you install it? Everything is available for free download - just use search :)

And so what? You mean - it works on OMAP? The compatibility is not a matter of CPU frequency - it's a matter of video module possibility. P525 video is worse that that one (on screenshots).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] downjones:
am gonna cry....:(....it is wm5.. and its shell looks like well...windows 3.5 the old one lol :rolleyes:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] downjones:
try the kitchen the second link...it worked for me

It is the MS Problem because even their own today screen is cut a bit...just check your screenshots and take a look at those quick launch symbols like: asus status, screen rotation etc... at the right bottom corner. I never said that any soft is WM6.5 compatible, but I bet WM6.5 is not that much different inside kernel as WM6.1. About time-bomb I know.

you genius :) I did...but didn't find nothing...can you give me the links to those cabs?

so you mean video module of P525 is just crap? :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Prusten:
Dear Down,

Seriously I think 21731 Room by Andrew is the best considering all yours criterias: stable (as I remember), quick responding, good T9 on hard keyboard with ZTA4 and no sms's address auto-completion function bug...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
Worked? When? Check again. OK I am registered at pdamobiz.... But know what? I am not interested. If the kitchen download worked for you - go ahead - cook you own rom - that's the best you can do to fulfill your wishes about the rom content.

Nothing is wrong with shortcuts - they are totally the same as they where in 6.1 What do you mean using the word "kernel"? What attitude has the kernel to the new shell? Maybe I'm too stupid to argue with you, sorry.....

If you did not find anything - sorry for you. Link to MMS? Try the first post of the topic (bottom). Wanna more links? Go ahead by yourself.

You got it buddy! Congratulations!!! Finally you told exactly what I meant!

And it's not only about P525. It also does not work on Omnia (first), Glofish and some other devices....

And - let's finish that. Do I owe anything to anybody? I suppose - no. You free to use my roms and free to use different ones. I even don't ask for any donations like other xda members. So .......
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] downjones:
dude take it easy....

go and google for "kernel" so you won't feel like stupid ;)...and I never said there is something wrong with the shortcuts...its just the bottom bar is cutting graphically the bottom edges of the icons...I can even see that on your screenshot...

ohhh that was VERY helpful.......can someone tell me where I can find a working MMS cab and just normal traditional T9 cab???? That would be really helpful :)

Well my brother got an omnia ...everything works there besides the hardware mouse and its very fast.....but P525 with 520mhz I thought it gives more than just a nice number :)........And hey chill dude...nobody said that you owe someone something.....I just made my point and thats it....if you can't do it ...fine! Anyways you got so aggressive lately.....I know your business down there is running bad and the financial crysis and all the ****.....but remember this: whatever happens just stay sexy! :cool:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] downjones:
what rom are you using??? and 21731...there is no T9, no MMS, hardware keypad doesn't function as it should I mean to type the letters...and ZTA4...the chinese stuff....might be good but not for me...I actually want xt9 but is there a cab which works on WM6.5???
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
can't you just use AndrewSh's 21014..all after all, it is best 6.1 ever made..

go get omnia too, then.;/

btw..you need more speed , guys, use this, safe from 100 to 624 mhz, sometimes more(russian oc'er after mod packed by my m8 - doesn't need russian locale, as original version):
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] downjones:
build 21014 has some bugs....and it is not the fastest build that I tried from wm6.1......anyway...this globalbus cab you attached...is it an overclocking program? by the way whenever I try o overclock my P525 to 624 it just hangs....it doesn't work with a rom kitchen and xcale too...:(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
it will hang, if you have cpuspeed on AUTO(if you know what i mean - you just cannot make GIANT leap from 100 mhz to 624 lol), and i think you are on auto all the time..

i was using this soft since 2007 or so on two different xscale machines.

it must work.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
and looks nice :) star might have been red, lol :)

ракета watch, you know...

hm, this is disturbing indeed, i wonder if it's matter of memory, cpu, or lcd clock itself.

you may halve membus to check cpu ability only, but it is puzzling..

you may also check risky tries with pocket hack master, it is able to set lcd clock independently from other buses(in some boundaries, of course).

risky - because of general instability of that program(=hr, etc woes..).

if it is matter of memory, it may be, that different p525's have different ram on board..hm.

btw, it is whitescreen, or just freeze effect(different reasons of these)?

my dev was able to work with 663 mhz(208x3.5, mem 1:1, bus 1:1, turbo mode)with some kind of display distortion/shimmering(lcd clock too high, or not syncing, imo)), real max is 624 mhz, stable and fast, then..

i'd recommend leave it at 520 mhz max, unless you really need to find methods for more).

if so, set less fsb one notch down, and push cpu multiplier one notch up(from 3 to 3.5).

btw, i remember, on my first days with p525 i could bump it to 7xx mhz, on some VERY old rom(damn, device was hot, lol).

that never been possible later.

strange.

One word about overclocking and screen distortion:

Yesterday I again tried to start Titanium. So just for fun I managed to make rom with default 320 MHz (not usual 520 or default 416). I also made it to work in power safe mode. The result - Titanium looked almost normally.

But the device was slow.... That's a point to think about.

You see magic word "RUS" in provider's name? :) So at least the star is expected :) The tradition is in souls :) Good that it's a star - not the hammer and sickle..... :)

No, I suppose he means that it works on 23037 - because one of the dll's finally has a reg feature "allow SIP change" - which was not available before.
