[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lior_m:
Some info (Problems & Q) running the WWE ROM on X50V

Update :

All problems has been solved !

Got a new engineering build ( 6.5.4.13 ) of Sprite Backup and the SMS lock problem was solved !

I found out that an old Paragon version of Hebrew for WM6 works just fine and the only problem that I had ( encoding problem under IE ) was solved after I

Copied cour.ttf file to windows directory and to font directory.

Best Rom I ever tried on my X50V ! Thanks Makuu.

( I'm using the Update 2: A09 VOIP Gold with patch filesys.exe release )

2 problems though .. and 1 Questions ..

1. It seems I can't backup my device with Sprite Backup (V 6.5.4). solved ! see the start of this post

The program loads perfectly but when I kick the "backup" button the program soft reset the device (this is a normal operation) and when the device starts I'm getting a message that "sprite backup has encountered an unexpected error". This is consistent with all types of back up.

When I used the MagLite Rom, The same version of Sprite Backup run perfectly. (But this was an WM6 rom.. )

EDIT :

After some investigation, I got to the conclusion that the problem with the Sprite Backup is a SIM related.

The Backup log says :

"Checking Sim PinLock failed: An error occurred accessing the SIM Manager API"

Well I guess that make sense since the X50V doesn't have a SIM card.

I'm a bit confused here though .. What am I missing ?

Update :

Tried Sprite BackUp on LennySH A09 ROM ( WM6.1 ).

and it works just fine so my guess is there is something with the VOIP integrated to the OS that makes Sprite Backup go crazy ..

Q to Sprite Tech Support & Answer :

I just downloaded the sprite backup and tried a full back up on my device.

Got An "unexpected error occurred"

Checked the log file and it seems to be a SIM lock problem ( I think ).

My device is a simple PDA. it has no SIM card at all.

I attached the log file.

Thanks in advance,

Lior

Hi Lior,

Thank you for your information!

That is a bug. Fix will be included in the next release. I am organizing a new build for you.

Best regards,

Shuang

OK,

This is good news, That's leavse me with the Hebrew problem ..

I will wait a while with this ROM ( right now I'm running LennySH WM6.1 ROM, Sprite BK works fine but it has the same Hebrew Problem ..)

2. When I use the Multilanguage support package

(Polaris HebPack Project) downloaded from here :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=426707

The system fonts won't show. They are exsit I can copy past them into the note pad and see them but it's seems to be something wrong with the fonts.

For example, When typing in Hebrew in messenger I can't see my typing but I can send it and it is shown on the "other side".

On Owner Information, The info box are "empty" but the data exist. I can verify this by copy + past the date into note pad.

When I disable the Multilanguage support, the fonts are shown perfectly.

Same here, when I run this Multilanguage support on MagLite Rom I had no problem at all.

Update :

A working solution tested on LennySH ROM which suffer from the same

Hebrew problem, posted here

Since both ROM's (LennySH and Makuu ) had the same problem, I believe this fix will act the same here. I will test it on Makuu's ROM as soon as the Sprite Backup fix will be ready.

solved ! see the start of this post

Q1

Filesys patch seems to be running after every soft reset. Is that normal ?

Got it figured by my self ..
