I tried to use pimsplit with portuguese P527.pim and it didn't work I don't know what to do.

Could someone help me
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lowveld:
Bombaydude:

I went through all the ports, not one is working. (and I tried both NMEA and Sirf protocols).

Atrabessado:

Pimsplit.exe did not work for me also, I ended up bricking the phone for oven an hour until I figured out how to get it back. Apparently pimsplit oupputs an unusable GSM.nb0 (or whatever it's called), it's just 1Mb.

You can use the indian GSM and EXTROM files to flash your phone. Only drawback is that after instlling you'll have to manually set regional settings, and also manually set your gprs settings (2 minutes on google should get you through).

Please let me know if your gps is working afterwards.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kalpeshmist:
many kitchen tools need Microsoft Visual C++ Red. Pack. to run..... maybe pimsplit.exe also need tht....

I'll try to extract gpsid.dll and gpsapi.dll from a portuguese wm 6.0 rom and try to insert it on the 6.5.

If someone has these two files from a working gps portuguese, spanish or italian P527 I'd appreciate if you post it. It would avoid me installing 6.0 just to get the files and then reinstalling 6.5...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] alahkel:
where? Oo

In the device storage, where I find those files? Gpsid.dll and gpsapi.dll, where are them?

I have my p527 wm6.5 flashed, but if u want I can back to the italian 6.0 and get those files ^^
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lowveld:
They should be in the \Windows directory on your P527. Make sure that you set the file explorer to see all files, Im' not dure if they are hidden...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kalpeshmist:
those r the common gps dlls... these r used in all gps winmo.. to enable gps. u hav a different issue than this. u dnt need these files as they r in all schist roms.. except 21864.. italian 6.0 version may hav some files related to gps stability.. i'll see later if i can extract those..

OK, re-flashed with original 6.0 to see how the hell the gps works. Only files I found with "gps" as part of the name are:

gpsid.dll

gpsapi.dll

I can't copy them, the device won't allow me. In fact, I can't even see them with the regular file explorer, had to use Resco...

As for registry keys, all I found was:

in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Builtin\gpsid

Context 0x0

Dll GPSID.dll

Flags 0x2

Index 0x0

Keep 0x1

Order 0x10

Prefix GPD

"Context" "Dll" and "Prefix" are string type, the rest are Doubles.

Any ideas? This is driving me nuts. It's the same hardware, it has got to work!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kalpeshmist:
this thing's same.. as all 6.5 roms. right now m in a remote place..... nd dont have a good internet connectivity over here........ when i reach my house till monday, i'll download ur 6.0 nd see if i can do nethin........ i uploaded 21864 widgets, waitin for nearly 4 hours!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lowveld:
Thanks man, I appreciate your help. Enjoy the weekend!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kalpeshmist:
check values under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Multiplexer\ActiveDevice]

find out if the values r different or not

"Dll"="GPSID.dll"

"Keep"=dword:1

"Flags"=dword:2

"Context"=dword:12344160
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lowveld:
Checked the registry keys and they are the same you quoted.

Also checked the running devices with fdcsoft TaskManager, and GPD0 (which is pointed by the gpsid.dll in the registry) has status "unloaded".

Also this GPD0 is the only device using gpsid.dll, when I think there were 2 devices using it in 6.0. No idea why...

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lowveld:
Hi. I had the same problem, and it was due to the pimsplit.exe generating an unusable GSM.nb0 file.

Try using the Indian EXTROM and GSM that come with the 6.5 rom package and it will work. Only issue is that you'll have to configure time zones and gprs connections by hand, but that's no big deal.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 10.mathur:
i used the ones provided in 21864 rom only...usb is not recognized now....when i go to settings...system...usb...it says unable to open UFN driver

ok..a new problem i think my phone is gone now...i tried to reflash it wm6.1 orignal using the expert mode by holding down the dial and ok button and side lock and reset and when i used expert mode then the phone screen shows

IPL: Insert USB CABLE

GSMFFS at 0x13000000 .

GSMFFS dosen't exist

spin forever.

Use [format all] instead.

thats it nothing is happening after that....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] alahkel:
solution

I was having the same problem in my first wm 6.5 flashing, and I solved it.

Copy in your sd (through a usb sd adapter, via pc) the file "SetBL.exe" thath you find in each 6.5 rom.

Turn on your p527, go to the sd root where you've just copied that file (using file explorer) and open (via device) the SetBL file.

Your p527 should now restart with a text string, something like "IPL: Insert usb cable"

Now you can just flash the flash.dio.nb0 and GSM.dio.nb0 (and relative EXTROM) using the usb flashing (not pim) method.

Hope to be useful
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 10.mathur:
after it says insert usb cable

the usb method says waening no device connected...and the screen while flashing used to be blue with asus background but now it is black...so now i am scared:(

pls report back if ne error shows... it should work..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 10.mathur:
will try now...and get bak to u
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] alahkel:
explanation

The "no-asus-blue-background" is correct in this case.

You haven't to use the entire usb method, you just need to go clicking on P527FUU.exe, selecting the flash.dio.nb0 and GSM.dio.nb0 in the program.

Pls, make sure you're running this on windows xp & active sync.

Tell me if it solved
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 10.mathur:

i dont no how to do it with sd card....i have a 4gb transcend card
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kalpeshmist:
first, format ur micro sd card with fat32, next copy flash.dio.nb0, gsm.dio.nb0 nd extrom.nb0 to ur sd card.. then set up ur phone to sd card installation as instructed in the first post nd in the readme.txt.. if this wont work, try 1 gb sd card.

if still doesnt work, u better take ur device to service center!!

do report back
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lowveld:
Hey, I was also stuck with the no-phone no-usb-drivers thing. I gad the phone bricked for over an hour.

In my case I managed to solve it with:

1: flash the device with the 21864 release as is, no custom extrom or gsm

2: reset the device into the "insert IPL USB" or something like that message

3: use the official asus application in advance mode (click top left corner) to flash the original rom downloaded from asus.

Hope it helps...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 10.mathur:
i tried the sd card option...it just waits on the ipl:insert usb cable...nothing else happens....and my phone is not charging now also and i dont have a 1gb card:(:(:(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lowveld:
When it's waiting for the IPL, just connect it to your PC and use the official asus application in advanced mode (MUST be in advanced mode). It even works on Vista...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kalpeshmist:
bootloader doesnt show 'insert usb cable' during sd card method....

do as i say, as instructed u hav copied all 3 nb0 files to ur sd card. turn off ur device. insert the sd card in ur device. pull down the side lock. press nd hold left side 'ok' button nd the camera button nd the press the power button. once, ur device get on, release power button but keep holdin ok nd camera button... the screen will show 'sd card flashin' thing... now u can release the 2 buttons. sit back nd let everythin do automatically...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 10.mathur:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lowveld:
I've seen in several posts that you must use a card under 2Gb, but I can't confirm that's the problem...

Also it should be formated on FAT16.

On the bright side, at least you got to where it tries to boot from the card, you're on the right track.

Hi Kalpeshmist.

I can only speak for the portuguese 6.0 rom, and it does not have GPS catcher. Official Asus excuse is that it wouldn't work in europe....

Basically it comes with 2 builtin gps apps. Travellog, and the one that is supposed to send sms with your current location (I don't remember the name). It also comes with a sd card pre-loaded with Destinator 6 (which I recommend by the way, very light on our poor and slow OMAP).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kalpeshmist:
nd wat about 6.1?? only 2 apps or gps catcher also included???

actually, i m yet unable to find ne solution for tht...... there r the same gpsid.dll nd gpsapi.dll... also the registries r almost same.... m still tryin if i can get ne solution but u should also try postin a topic in 'development nd hackin' forum..

Stuck at boot screen after 11 nov rom update :(

Hi,

I updated to the 11 Nov 21864 ROM with TouchFLO 2D (from the original indian version wm 6.1)

After performing all the steps mentioned (including pressing the answer button at the warning page), the phone shows the "Windows Mobile 6.5" boot-up screen and just keeps showing that.

Just to clarify - I did not use the SD card method (the F.A.Q section mentions about the SD card method, which I did not use).

Also, since the device does not boot up, ActiveSync does not detect it and so I'm unable to flash the device back to the original (or any) ROM now :( :(

Any help please? :(
