[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] oza_crazy:
this is my very first time starting a thread (need half an hour to figure it out) lol

please... be easy to me. :)

due to many friends here asking how to downgrade an O2 XDA Stealth to original WM5, i'm trying to find a way... and this is it...

1. download original Stealth WM5 ROM from:

http://www.myxda.com/xda-stealth_servicemenu.aspx#software

choose your country, then next...next...next... till the link for downloading appeared.

2. run the file you've download, click next...

notice the path where the file extracted to. in my laptop it is:

C:\Documents and Settings\dr. Ghozali\Local Settings\Application Data

3. you'll find a new folder named "DSUU"

open that folder, and there will be:

CUSTFILE (folder) ==> this is the extended ROM

DSUU.exe (hidden)

gbcall.nb0 (hidden) ==> this is the WM5 ROM you wanted so badly... :)

GbcFormat.dll (hidden)

GbcFormat.exe (hidden)

UpdateRom.exe (hidden)

let's see... there is 5 hidden file inside "DSUU" folder, so.. make sure you've already set ur PC to show hidden files.

4. copy the "CUSTFILE" folder and the "gbcall.nb0" to a less than 1G FAT formatted MiniSD.

don't forget to edit the properties of "gbcall.nb0" (uncheck the hidden option)

5. insert ur miniSD to ur Stealth, then power off

6. push the "Green" and "Red" button (hold it) then power ON ur Stealth

... u'll be going to O2 Logo (for about 3-5 seconds)... then the update progress will start.

7. be patient... it will need about 20-25 minutes for a complete flash.

if the flashing process was succeeded ur stealth will automatically soft reset.

wait until the "Tap Here to setup your device" appeared

8. do a HARD RESET

how to??? :confused:

==> push and hold the "windows" and "OK" button, then poke the soft reset hole with ur stylush.

Welldone....

you've downgraded ur O2 Stealth to original WM5

p.s.

i've already tested on my Stealth and it works 100% :D

*note:

please make sure your battery was fully charged before doing this downgrade process.

i'm sorry for my bad english...

i am Indonesian

:cool:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] oza_crazy:
by the way,,

if u want more space, u can just flash the gbcall.nb0

no need to flash the Custfile folder. but.. of course, there will be some appllication missing. e.g. the operator setting.

well.. please report any problem or any succeeded with this method, so we can learn together.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hakuso2008:
thanks for the info mas...

i've been stuck last time flash to wimo 6.1..the problem is can't read the CUSTFILE..

at last now with ur advice my stealth already normal to wimo 5..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rmusa06:
Thanks brader....

I've downgraded my O2 stealth back to winmo 5

Thanks for the info

HI,

I have the same problem. Although I have tried the J-Tag Method but the computer is unable to detedt my phone.

anyone pls help. please e-mail me on sriyankar@gmail.com
[P3400 ROM Development] Addicted2xda:
There was a thread about J Tag, just search for it, I am not sure of the exact link.

It was probably in the Gene forum, not Gene Upgrading forum.

try flashing one more time with the official rom....
[P3400 ROM Development] ramersonw:
Avoid flash with an official rom. Those roms contains IPL/SPL and will brick your device.

I don't know if I'm the only one who experiences this, but I absolutely hate the feature on the keyboard where if you hold on a letter it opens the popup showing characters like 'ß ï à'

So is there a way to remove those special characters completely from the keyboard?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kchau:
use the htc keyboard
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pack:
the htc keyboard has the same feature...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kchau:
yes, except it actually pops up with something useful, better than the android keyboard that pops up with characters you would never use, with the htc keyboard, at least i can use puncutation without having to hit alt every tiem.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Luca_Dream:
ha

Too bad that's not what i asked for. I asked if there was a way to remove that functionality from the keyboard.

But its okay now cause I found a hero Rom that I get ALL texts and mms so this thread can be closed =)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bjtheone:
Phone is on Rogers... everything worked when on the Rogers rom. Rooted and installed RAv1.2.1H. Also tweaked Market via MarketEnabler to point at the US/T-Mobile to get paid apps.

If I have the GPS radio on Google Maps can find my location and behaves normally. If I turn off the GPS, it cannot find my location, even when I have strong 3G & GSM signals and have no problems with other data apps. This used to work under the stock Rogers ROM.

I suspect that I might have messed up some setting in the upgrade process that is confusing/interfering with Google maps using the cell tower data to get a rough location.

Any suggestions?

Hi, I have elfin (HTC Touch) and I have Windows Mobile 6 professional and I want to upgrade it to 6.5 so can anyone type me a link so I can download the ROM directly because there is more than one ROM in the forum and I'm afraid to download a wrong one so please help me...thanks
[Touch GSM General] svprm:
First you read this guide completely.

[Touch GSM General] zoom-z:
I read it well and I knew big information about my elfin but really I don't know how to start please tell my what to do first I can tell you the info about my elfin

[Touch GSM General] ayyu3m:
mind my sarcasm...but he meant to say...to upgrade your device without damaging it...you will need to follow some instructions....and if you read it well and if you are a sane guy...then you would atleast EDIT your POST and remove the god damn IMEI of your device....people dont give away their IMEI jus like that you know...its something only you should know...and jus so you know...i m not trying to piss you off cos you are as we call a newbie....so here is a breakdown of what you need to do

1. your device is an ELFIN...so we know

2. jus like you unlock your sim to use your phone...you need to unlock your device...(so that it becomes writable)

3. to do so...you would need to make use of a part of software called USPL and IPL...USPL does the part of keeping your device unlocked...and IPL needs to remain the same series....if you flashed a USPL of 3.XX then your IPL shud be 3.XX series

4. now do the reading on your own this time and discover all flavours of 6.5 ROMS available here....

btw i wonder why you havent tried the official 6.1 ROM from HTC
[Touch GSM General] zoom-z:
thanks so much, first i don't know even the difference between the 6.1 and the 6.5 but when i saw some topics about 6.5 and the people said that it works better with the HTC touch so I think in that, now i made a backup ROM from the one i have is that good step and i already downloaded 2 different ROMs from the forum (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=552371 , http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=426540)

but how can i make the device rewritable is there a application i can download? and what's your opinion to upgrade to 6.1 or 6.5?
[Touch GSM General] svprm:
Upgrade to 6.5 Final Build 21234.

[Touch GSM General] @rj*n:
Tht's a good thing to backup your Original ROM, should be helpful in case of errors, bricking or re-servicing. (though i forgot to do mine :o)

There's is no problem about being not rewritable or sort! Once you CID unlock and upgrade your IPL/SPL, you can upgrade or degrade your device to any ROM you like whenever u like!

About opinions, there are alot of people here and would obviously have their own different opinions and so you will have too! I'd ask you to try out ROMs yourself and use the suitable one you choose. If you'd like to have a stable ROM, i'd advice you to use the 6.1 ROMs and if you'd like to have newer latest builds, you can go for the 6.5 ROMs (which have been optimized to their best stable by respective cooks). In the end, its up to you which you choose as your BEST ROM!

PS: Do read if the ROM is suitable for your device, in this case- Elfin and few FAQs posted out by the ROM cook. Respect others work and last but not least Read & Search before asking Questions!!
[Touch GSM General] zoom-z:
Thank you very much I finally upgraded my elfin to windows mobile 6.5 and it's awesome but i still have one more thing i want to make it read and write Arabic language without convert the whole interface is there a patch? I already searched about that and i found a file but it's not an application and I don't know how to use it. before that in my old 6.0 i downloaded an application when i install it, it solves the whole situation then i tried it with the 6.5 but the start menu won't open after i installed it so i formatted the ROM.
[Touch GSM General] kujo_kjc:
are there official 6.1 rom from htc? or is it for elfin only because i can't find official 6.1 for elf..
[Touch GSM General] crapula512:
hi, first of all, the backup you have done is probably not ready to be flashed, so whatever you do, dont flash that again or u will brick your phone.

arabic? take a look at this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=426281

and finally, i think it will be better if u update ur ipl to 3.10 too.
[Touch GSM General] zoom-z:
thanks crapula512 but what you mean with the backup not ready to be flashed? is there any other step ?
[Touch GSM General] ayyu3m:
what he means is....you may brick the device with the backup you just created. so if you wana restore your original...which is the one you have backed up now...you should and can only flash that by making use of USPL or HSPL...search the forum for USPL and HSPL...and you will be given guides...

btw...you really like writing in bold letters eh...kinda makes us feel we are blind...
[Touch GSM General] sasa66:
Hi Zoom-Z

check this link http://www.ce4arab.com/vb7/showthread.php?t=153346

I'm gonna buy Touch Pro 2 from handtec.co.uk so i want to know about its quality.

When i make a new Thread of buying sim-free fone online at TP2 forum one member told me that

" the problem with a lot of uk sites these days is their quality control. i always buy sim free and hate it when the "new" phone arrives in an opened box, factory screen protector half off etc.. they do a **** job of putting it all back in the box after "checking contents". "

So i just wonder if any of u bought phone from handtec get those problem.

Thank you very much

Hi, if there was someone who could help me.

My problem is as follow:

My battery isn't charging at all neither through main charger or activsync.

I have been able to sync the phone via cable but not charging. My phone is on at this moment throught activsync

The battery is not recognized by the phone as it shows me under:

Settings

Power

Main battery unknown.

When i try to charge the phone with the supplied charger there is no orange led showing me that it is charging when phone on or switched off.

I was thinking that it could be that it was because my battery was dead but would the indicator says unknown main battery. Thanks in advance.

If someone knows if when the battery is dead if the phone doesn't recognize the battery at all or its definitely the phone that is fu****.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] acolytelee:
are there any apps that can run in background and record the current/temp/voltage of the battery and save in log file?
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
Ok everyone,

There's been alot of movement both forward and laterally on the vogue-android project lately, and while it's all been great I'm having some concerns.

There has been alot of forking lately of the project. Different builds are great and I can't encourage that enough, but with all of the changes, and great developments being made to the rootfs and kernel we are losing alot of what made this project going great.

There's such a jumble of builds, out there right now it's getting confusing for everyone. So please guys can we move the project back to centralization?

By that I mean build threads are for system images only.

Changes to the rootfs's and kernel's are fantastic, but please can we make a new thread just for those?

As well to all the kaiser guys. Don't get me wrong I think it's great that so many of these files are working so good for you guys but can you keep development of your port to your forum, so there's less confusion for the new people? I've said it lots, if any of the kaiser guys wanna port over the builds I've ported to kaiser's go ahead, but please post them in the kaiser forum.

I'll happily keep the google code page updated with new bundles, that have been tested and confirmed stable, that page is not for specific people's work only, but for vogue/kaiser files that can be considered the standard files to use.
[Touch CDMA General] prairiefire:
I support this.
[Touch CDMA General] soccerman821:
well put. i feel the exact same way. i've given up till a bundle comes out cause im confused what is the newest or if it will work(not a fan of the kaiser now that they took over). I'm really hoping for more development on the android rom but im a script kiddie and no developer.. unfortunately

thanks for bringing this up
[Touch CDMA General] ~David:
I could not agree more!

I've actually returned to running WinMo on my phone because I've become so lost in the Android project. There's so many different forks out there, and all sorts of random files being uploaded to Google Code, I have absolutely no idea what is what anymore.

It was going really well when vilord and dzo were working on it, now suddenly it seems both of them are out of it and the "vanilla" Android 1.5 builds are no longer being worked on. There hasn't been a basic "system" update in nearly a month now.

And to make matters worse, there's no clear explanation of what's what anywhere and nobody is posting proper change logs. So all these new files keep popping up with no word on what they're for and what's changed.

I just want to run Android on my phone, with no stupid skins, UI replacements or massive customizations of any kind... and I don't know how to do that anymore.

I'm not really sure why all this work seems to be focused on customizations right now anyways, when there are much more important things to work on like Bluetooth, aGPS, and a flashable ROM.
[Touch CDMA General] gjbnh:
Yes, this is most definitively needed, not to stifle anyone's creativity, but to allow the maximum number of people to enjoy the project. Otherwise it's far too possible that all the various ports will just turn people off to Android, and it's far too important to allow that to happen. I've already asked mssmison to post whole, relatively stable packages so people don't get overwhelmed with all the various components and builds. Maybe a re-fresh of the packages every 2 or 3 weeks, along with the testing packages for all you brave souls to make it more user friendly.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
I'm going to re-organize the google code page for vogue tonight so it should be more clear for everyone. vilord isn't out of the project, he just is moving :)
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
I've cleaned up the google code page a bit, I've depreciated some older downloads and the older bundle.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
I keep all my builds separate and off the vogue-android page too keep it clean and focused on the main bundle there which is android-1.5-x. The test rootfs.imgs that I put out are only for testing purposes and are my personal experiments related to hero and they stay on vogue-hero. They do not apply to non hero builds and I try to state that in the threads I started for my other two non hero builds. I'm not supporting squashfs right now and I'm not going to be posting builds in squashfs right now. If people think that squashfs is the way to go then all images need to be in squashfs including android-1.5x builds. That would avoid the main squashfs rootfs/kernel/initrd fork thats going on with people downloading the squashfs base files. I don't support kaiser wifi builds of my hero images because they don't work for the vogue. I'll be taking down all kaiser/squashfs related files on vogue-hero until further notice and create vogue bundles of the files that work with each build.
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
i agree about too many different builds and files mixed together, it's really confusing to an average user like me who's sorta new to android. you devs should package up a zip with all the most stable, needed files for you specific builds so we can't mess up and download something that might not work right. myself i use my phone daily and for work, so i need stability. :rolleyes:
[Touch CDMA General] stickus:
+1 to this! It's getting cluttered and confusing... BUT AWESOME! :D
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
is it looking better now on the google code page?
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
whatever is in that new base files package really sped up my build from zen, ill tell you that much, now my phone recieves calls too. the only thing i notice is im back to the old style button map settings for adjusting volume and waking up the phone and such? :eek:
[Touch CDMA General] stickus:
things look a lot cleaner on the google code page now... just DL-ing the new bundle you posted and we'll see how things go from there. Glad to hear that that old button layout is back, not really a fan of the newer one.
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
all i know is there is no lag to my build at all now, WOW...nice work guys!
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
All thanks to the bundle of files go to pmos, him and no one else. I just put together the system.

The button thing was accidental, however I have had alot of problems with my camera button not working intermittantly, we are working on a way of it being user selectable at boot.
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
I would also agree that some sort of organization is definitely needed. I think that system image threads should be condensed or organized in some way also. Having 15 threads, each with not too much information on what the build actually is, and info on the new update on page 15... just makes it hard for everyone. New comers and people who are experienced and trying to help others.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
There are 5 threads for builds. One for the kernel.
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
welll my phone is still running good today with that new bundle that was posted last night. :D

im still getting used to the old style button mapping but to be honest i like it better this way.
[Touch CDMA General] iseeka:
I think this post goes in the wrong direction.

The best thing of Android is that devs from different mobiles are working toguether to improve our phones.

I´m a polaris user and in the development of android for polaris developers with different phones help a lot

What we need is an Android section as it´s being petitioned in order to develop all toguether. Of course with organization.

Let´s think as Android and not only as vogue ;)
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
I agree but remember this is a vogue forum, :) so for the average user that comes here, they have a vogue. If you guys have a polaris dev get him to contact me and we'll look into making the bundles work right with your phones as well.

Again this is why I posted the poll to move the dev to another forum where we can have proper organization
[Touch CDMA General] plemen:
I like that each build has its own thread - allows for issues to be managed for the build you are using rather than having to wade through posts on unrelated builds.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] rotastrain:
i have a simple question

1>if i buy a htc hero from lets say sprint k.

if i unlock it then do i have to keep paying sprint for two years?

or once i unlock and i stop using their sim then i can just stop paying them?

cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Firstly, if you were to buy a Hero from Sprint, you'd be getting a CDMA device that doesn't have a SIM card. In order to get it functioning on a different CDMA network, you'd have to convince your carrier to add the ESN from the Hero to their network, and as far as I'm aware the US carriers Verizon and Sprint, don't allow this any more.

Secondly, if you've bought a device as part of a 2 year contract, you are legally obliged to honour it.

Dave

Hey everyone

I am trying to figure out which version of WM is best for the my phone. What are the pros and Cons of 6.1 vs 6.5?

and what are the best builds I can get for both? I have 2 Kaiser phones (HTC 8925) and would like to install 6.1 on one and 6.5 on the other to see which works best for me.

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
6.1 is official and stable, 6.5 is unofficial and beta therefore there are some stability issues . Some roms more than others.

Beyond that , with two Tilts, lucky you. Put a stable 6.1 on one to use everyday and with the other, try every rom that looks and sounds good until you find the one that works for you.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
Yeah I don't recommend 6.5 anymore. It screws up all the time.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] livebackwards75:
wow, Intresting I have been playing around with 6.5 currently and I do really like the new Start menu in 6.5 (the larger buttons are fantastic) over 6.1 start menu.

hhmmm

so what is the most stable 6.1 I can get?

or should I keep the 2nd one on 6.0.....?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
Don't stay on 6.0, you might as well use two cups and a string to make calls. There are a lot of really nice things about 6.5 that I like a lot. Finger friendliness is one of them. But since we don't have an official version yet, everyone is experimenting and pushing the limits. " let's take this puppy out for a spin and see what it'll do " kind of thing. Chefs are not going for a nice safe stable version of 6.5. They are leaving that up to M$.

I use stylez' Black rom ( check sig ) it is as good as 6.1 gets. But I have also used shifu's v17, abusalza's X v.9, TPC's Elite v6 and mbarvian's Solice v3.1, also all good roms. Flash them all and see wnat you like best.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
I ran duttys last rom for almost a year with only having to reset 2 times. You can't do what with a 6.5.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] khaytsus:
Soft or hard? If that's soft, did you have routine soft resets and you only had to manually reset twice, or do you just not actually run anything. :)
