[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] lasterato:
Yeah, but they are generic un-official peices of crap...anyone used one?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Weeziana:
i have one original black cover that i don't use
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] lasterato:
i sent you a private message :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] lasterato:
Still haven't found one, Weeziana isn't replying to my PM's, does anyone have one of these here covers without any operator logos?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] maevro:
I was looking for a back cover for my Diamond too as the glass broke over the camera. It doesnt effect the camera but it can it water gets in,

I have the US model, I cannot find any back covers for it. Someone was selling a back cover on ebay but it wasnt for the US model.

If you're not buying a back cover for a US model, I think you can get OEM HTC back covers at cnn.cn

If anyone knows where to get OEM HTC US Diamond back covers please let me know.

does anyone know of a company or repair service that will unbrick my hermes?

thanks :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
Whats wrong, maybe we can help...

Give us a brief rundown on whats wrong, and what you did to fix...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Bo0mcxh402:
Well first of all,

the phone was bricked through unable to flash a rom

i didn't get a chance to check the SPL and IPL before the phone was bricked

the phone is only showing bootloader and the ok+power+soft reset doesn't work

ive tried the micro sd method and didn't work

i had just barely got the phone and was a noob at it so like every other person who doesn't take the time to read, didn't put the Hard SPL on the device.

i don't know what else to do now.

thanks for replying :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
Download the original SHIPPED rom.

Untick "allow usb connection" in activesync on your PC.

Reset into bootloader - hold power, OK button above flywheel and rset with stylus. This should bring you to thr tri-colour screen wher your IPL and SPL are shown. This is true bootloader, not a screwed up version. DO THIS...

Connect Hermes to pc.

Run RUU-Wrapper.exe of original rom.

This may or may not woirk, Good luck...

IF this works, go here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=296722

Download Hard SPL V7 & install it. Then you can use sd card method to flash roms, I find it safer...

Cheers...:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nohanz:
dude, thanks a lot!

last time my PPC was stuck at bootloading ( I guess my Hermes 100 can't support M2d due to lack of RAM :( ). Then I do the step as u mention, n it work!

Thank God. I'm feel relief now, knowing my PPC is revive. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Bo0mcxh402:
See the problem that i have with that is the fact that i don't know what my original rom was, all i know was that it was an htc windows mobile 5 rom, but i don't know what version..

could it help if i told you that it is a qtek 9600 (herm100)?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nohanz:
Owh, forgot to mention.

I already applied hardSPL. I guess thats why the process of recovering it quite simple. N I directly flash the ROM to WM6.1 v13.3 Cooked Rom. It works like a charm.

Bo0mcxh402 : sorry mate. I didn't know the original version of ur ROM. Maybe u can try to ask around. I'm sure there've lot of users out there also using the same phone as yours,
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
Try the HTC stock WM06 rom which you should be able to find somewhere on here... May work...

Cheers...:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Timtown:
It's irrelevant what your original ROM was/is. Follow these directions and use the T-Mobile ROM.

The T-Mobile ROM won't install. It will go thru a couple of steps (one of which is "Erasing" which is critical to get through) and then it will "Error" out. After the T-Mobile ROM "erases", your Hermes should be back to a state where you can flash any ROM you prefer.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Bo0mcxh402:
Well i Tried the method, but i can't even get the phone to sync even after i unticked the "Allowed USB connections," the phone is recognized as "HTC usb connection" but when i run the t-mobile rom, it says error 264, (USB Connection)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
The reason I said to use the shipped rom is because Bo0mcxh402's device ISN'T supercid... If it was it could take ANY rom you want to throw at it BUT because its not you HAVE to have the STOCK CARRIER ROM it was shipped with (later update may work too as the cid should be recognised)...

Cheers...:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Timtown:
Did the T-Mobile ROM do *anything* or just immediately error out?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Bo0mcxh402:
I couldn't do anything because the t-mobile rom didn't recognize my hermes even though my computer did
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
That pesky CID again as stated so many times before. You need to find your stock carrier rom. The upgrade to WM06 will work as well as it has the same CID as the shipped rom.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Bo0mcxh402:
well i ended up trying that and nothing happened... the usb connection didn't work for the hermes, i know that there is nothing wrong with the usb connection because i used it on my t-mobile dash.

IVE GIVEN UP.. IS THERE A COMPANY FOR A REASONABLE PRICE THAT WILL UNBRICK THE PHONE?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
On the PC - Untick "Allow usb connections" in activesync settings.

On Hermes - Hold OK button, power button and reset with stylus. This will bring you back to bootloader BUT it won't be the screwy bad flash bootloader.

Connect the Hermes to the PC via usb. Run the RUU_Wrapper.exe of the stock rom.

This should work, if it doesn't then there may be no help available. You don't want activesync trying to connect to the Hermes so its better to disable the usb connection settings, You might be able to get a successful flash this way without activesync screwing it up.

Can't say about any unbrick service. Don't think they could help, only thing they might do is replace the mainboard (if they can find) and that would be expensive.

Cheers...:)

Hi Guys,

I hope everyone is well. I am new owner of an Xperia, and even more novice and realm of modding it.

This site is an immense resource and is probably a strong reason why people started loving their Xperias, despite the shortcomings. Anyway, excuse my ignorance, but I ran into this while being on YouTube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36YtZHXGCjA

My questions are:

1. Does anyone know what this is and how is this possible?

2. Has anyone tried using it or has access to whatever this entails?

Again, excuse my ignorance, should that be the case :). Thank you for reading!

Fragger.
[XPERIA X1 General] figurine:
this looks like one of those chinese knock-offs. as far as i know, there isn't anything out yet for our real xperias that mimics an iphone's os
[XPERIA X1 General] feicomodo:
Ye don't bother it's a cheap knock off...I did a little research on them, they sell them on eBay shipped mainly from Asia. They don't have a slide out keyboard like the real X1.

They also do exactly the same ones in an iPhone shell. This guy does a pretty comical review of it, it uses the same operating system as the one from the video you posted by the looks of things. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=B2tVE7qRLwk&feature=channel_page

Stay clear I'd say!!!
[XPERIA X1 General] achmed20:
well ... this one HAD a slideout keyboard.
[XPERIA X1 General] tehnoobzorz:

its called iFonz i don't have it on my xperia but its an app that replicates the iphone ui
[XPERIA X1 General] achmed20:

i knew that tool but never ever installed it nor watched a video about it. if i want an iphone ... i'd bought one
[XPERIA X1 General] feicomodo:
ahh I didnt watch the whole video but I've seen those fake X1s on ebay before.
[XPERIA X1 General] emwdava:
It's a real Xperia in the video running S2U2 and iFonz.
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
What you are looking for is iFonz, as others have already mentioned. For some screens and info on it, visit my blog at: http://xperiancer.blogspot.com/2009/01/ifonz-iphone-for-windows-mobile.html
[XPERIA X1 General] ipporek:
Just that too bad no one's made a panel to launch iFonz yet.
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
That would be cool, a Panel... but since iFonz is not add-on or replacement of the Today screen but rather comes on top of it... i don't mind using it as is either. :D
[XPERIA X1 General] dadeadman:
Does Ifonz run? I thought it had no wvga support
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
It sure does... http://xperiancer.blogspot.com/2009/01/ifonz-iphone-for-windows-mobile.html

Not WVGA support from the developers, yeah (as you can see from the bottom bar in landscape a little shy of the total width)... but it runs perfectly none-the-less.

I read those threads and there no solution to get the quick entry system working

I was hoping that someone would have found something
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Sallcho:
I have found :)

copy this file to your spb finance "default" folder :) it will work, but only in VGA. anyway u still can easily use the program, everything works fine :) some1 owes me a beer;))
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] solteron:
Thanks

It works but I had to modify the registry. If like me you tried different skins before trying the file given by Salicho, you must delete the different item where skin and spb finance are used in registry. Except the default one, you must erase the other ones to prevent the program to try to use it.

Ask if it doesn't work, but it rocks in my hd

It gets really annoying when I was using WIFI, and suddenly the signal is too weak and it automatically connects to 3G/HSDPA data connection. I am currently not on a plan with internet usage and it charges me 20cents per KB!!

Another question - when I'm using WIFI to login MSN, why does it connects to 3G data connection whenever I press the power button and go to sleep mode

e.g. when I turn it back on 3G data connection is on...

so does it use 3G to maintain my MSN connection???

ATT: For ppl with MR1 or MR2 Rom!!! you need to downgrade to Verizon 2.09 org. stock rom!! FIRST!!

Here you go, read this: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanStockHome

When done come back for the upgrade ;)

I Loaded everything via USB .. because I don't have a 2gb SD card, I got a 4gb SDHC card..

This is what I did, and I don’t know why someone have not made a HowTo thread

like this before ..

HowTo go from a 100% stock 2.09rom “lock” xv6800 Phone ..

To an unlock + latest Radio Rom + R4R Rom. .. all via USB.

1) [Unlock] run Hard-SPL-MFG.exe v2.40 (read each prompt and do as it say,

at the end, do CTRL+C to close the window, do not exit the bootloader mode on your device.

2) Load new Radio ROM, what I did was put the latest Radio ROM file “TITAIMG.nbh”

from “Titan Radio ROM 3.42.50.rar” into the c:\ttn240mfg folder made by “Hard-SPL-MFG.exe”

I also deleted all over *.nbh files before running “ROMUpdateUtility.exe”, once done

The RUU will close when done, but your Phone will remain in the Bootloader screen (SPL mode)

3) next load the OS ROM (DCD ROM) you like .. e.g. I like the R4Reloaded ROM

from “R4RLoaded.rar” .. just go to the RUU folder made when you unpack the

“R4RLoaded.rar” file .. and run “ROMUpdateUtility.exe”, when done your Phone

will finally reboot and OS will start up..

Summary:

1) unlock your phone (load 2.40 HardSPL)

2) load latest Radio Rom (e.g. Titan Radio ROM 3.42.50)

3) load OS/DCD ROM (e.g. R4Reloader)

* all load was done via USB .. very easy IMO..

took me about 5-6min doing each step slowly .. now I got to play with GPS lol

hope that will be easy too..

Could be a bad USB port. I had at least 5 go bad on me.

Could be a bad cable.

Reset PC

Put titan in booloader mode (always!) and try again... If a no go...

Buy $3.49 SD card from new egg and place NBH file on card. Make sure its named. TITAIMG.NBH. Put phone in bootloader again and follow onscreen instructions.

SD Card link if interested: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...E&N=2010070068 1053118914&bop=And&Order=PRICE

I would recommend a two gig but wanted to show you how cheaply it could be done. Probably releive your steress. I stopped flashing via USB.

USB flashing also takes about 3 to 4 times as long. If thats not a reason to use SD then nothing is ;c)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mr-free:
wow one day I got to try that lol I never had any issues with loading via USB

also never had a USB port going bad .. and will not stop anytime soon .. I got

a 4GB card so its not a matter of cost its the fact I needed to get my Phone

unlock and upgraded ASAP instead of waiting for a few days to use/get a 2gb < SD card ..

Also when I was loading your ROM it took less than 2min via USB so how

much faster is the old 1-2gb SD cards? Even when I did the unlock was under

2min .. because it was my first time I stop to read everything slowly .. I have been

back to stock a few times and unlock a few times and the full process now only

takes 5-6min from unlock, loading radio, loading os rom .. all done via usb under 6min

going to get a 2gb one day and test the speed diff. of loading via SD vs USB ..
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mr-free:
BTW how is he going to load the files to his SD card without USB in the first place?

download via phone data-service? = cost $$.. and a ton slower download time,

than via the PC internet access ... IMO best to fix his USB issues .. + USB is not

just for loading files he may need it anyways to do other things..
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] unL33T:
I didn't think of that since I've never used USB to write to an SD card on my computers.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mr-free:
So I take it you have a “USB” card reader/writer? And or moving the microSD card in/out

each time you need to do something? and or you use your Phone data-service to download everything? :confused:

[SD card reader/writer still use “USB”]

Well I got TomTom and other programs I run on my Phone .. TomTom is

over 850MB .. don't know about how ppl would download that via Phone

data-service .. best beat would be to use a card reader/write = USB!!

or just simply plug the Phone in = USB ...

So Please tell me if you don't use USB at all .. to load data to your SD card,

via the Phone USB port and or a USB SD card reader/write .. what do you use to

xfer larger files to your SD card?...:confused:
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Scott:
You use a card reader.

The titan is only USB 1.1.... Yeah, its true. That give a data transfer rate of 1.1MBPS.....

THE Sd card runs about twice that from card to internal storage.

So take the time you got now and cut it in half. Thats how much faster it will go.

4 GIG card wont work for flashing which is why I said what I said.

Im just trying to help but I detect alot of sarcasm in your post so I will stop helping. I really dont know much anyways.... Im sure can you tell. I just wrote the ROM in your sig block....

Stock Rom GPS Upgrade

Anyone who can help,

Apologies if this isn't the right post, but its the closest/most recent post I found. I've spent the last 3 hours digging around the posts and wikis and i guess i got myself confused. I just bought a verizon xv6800 on eBay and haven't gotten it yet. I dont know what oem rom it will come with yet but I already know that I want to use DCD's 3.2.6 custom rom, with 3.42.50 radio, and SPL 2.47. I'm not too worried abou the PRI... yet. I also don't want to use a data plan for GPS and am getting TomTom Nav 6.

The question is how/which SPL do I have to use to go from Verizon's non GPS Rom to a custom GPS-ROM and Radio. From all the posts I read people are flashing to 2.47 to go from stock non GPS to custom GPS. Neu SPL's wiki claims that trying to flash to 2.47 bootloader will brick my device if I have a non-GPS rom first. I really can't afford to brick this as I lost my old phone and paid more than I should have for this one.

I've flashed multiple devices in the past but this seems to be the most complicated (atleast alot of variations/options) and I'm feeling like n00b. I want to basically just have data free GPS on this phone and nothing else too special.

FYI I've already downloaded:

DCD 3.2.6

DCD Verizon CAB (not sure how to apply this, pre or post OS?)

Radio 3.42.50

Hard-SPL-MFG

nueSPLTitan-100-2.47-pack

and TitanUnlocker (1.20 SPL?)

Thanks in advance.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] BillThyCat:
I've not heard of SPL 2.47 bricking your phone if you have an older rom/radio. As every phone I've flashed has started out with a non GPS radio/rom. You just can't use it if you don't also flash the rom/radio afterwards, or the phone won't boot. (This is normal behavior).

So you would install 2.47, then flash the radio via SD Card, then flash your rom via SD or USB.

Once the 3 items have been flashed it should boot just fine.

However, if your new phone comes with MR1 pre-installed, flash it back to the older Verizon stock rom that has Windows Mobile 6.0, then do the 3 steps listed above and you will have working GPS.

Otherwise GPS won't work.

Also, I thought I read that Verizon would no longer activate smartphones without a data plan. Or is that only on new activations?

BTC
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] crispspecimen:
GPS Upgrade

Thanks for the response.

I was hoping they only meant SPL 2.47 would only brick a device if you didn't upgrade the radio and rom at the same time. I just hadn't heard any word either way. Can anyone confirm this before I try it out? I'll probably end up being the guinea pig if not. If I have MR1 or MR2 i'll find an old stock rom to flash to.

Is it easier to flash to a new rom before I activate the phone with my account? I read an upgrade might cause me to lose network functionality. ASL or something gets erased, so i'd wanna upgrade first before activation and take care of it all at once?

Lastly, with DCD's rom i have to update to verizon's CAB. Do i run that after i'm back into my OS?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] crispspecimen:
I Forgot

According to a Verizon rep about a week ago, only blackberry's require a data package. I can use my wifi for the smartphone and only use normal telephony access. My next question for them is if I can upgrade to the mobileemail option so I can use exchange/outlook, or do they require data for that.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] BillThyCat:
After installing the custom rom, you will probably need to load the carrier cab unless you load a pre-built for verizon custom rom, it probably already has it in it.

In order to access email via internet, you pretty much need a data service, I don't think pushmail/sync will work via wireless.

You don't need either just to sync via USB cable with Outlook tho.

BTC
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] unL33T:
From what I've seen it appears that push mail and sync will work via wifi but the problem is that when the phone goes to sleep your wifi connection gets disconnected so it's not that useful.
