Need a ROM

Hi Everyone,

I am in a kind of a mess here... and I would need some help. I have a Toshiba TG01, with WM 6.1, but it was bought in Orange. The phone came in french, and I unlocked it (as Orange provided the unlock number), but for some reason, I cannot install the official update from the Toshiba web page. I first thought it was related to the language, and I even tried to install the french version, but the "Variant is invalid" error is posted on the phone's screen. I need an english version of the OS (preferred WM 6.5, but if not 6.1), but I am unable to find anything.

Cheers.

works great with my orange tgo1 and put the spb 3.2 on top no problems

thanx a lot

What is your current ROM version and what version are you trying to install?
[TG01 Themes and Apps] khil:
French version file from Toshibas official support was corrupted for some, try maybe downloading one from link in this thread, few pages back. As for now you cannot put anything else on your phone.

Hi,

new here. I have a tg01 which is having screen issues (I cant calibrate it as it wont respond at the top left of the screen) I looked around the internet and came across some suggestions to open it up and clean it to remove debris inside the screen that could cause this but the phone has some wierd three point screws.

I cant do anything with the phone at all as it wont come out of the the calibration screen :(

Does anyone know if you can buy the screwdrivers for these and where to buy them in the uk please?

thanks in advance.
[TG01 Themes and Apps] januszzbych:
I think its better take your phone to Toshiba service.
[TG01 Themes and Apps] bashah:
Would do but the phone was bought second hand so its not under warranty and I'd guess Toshiba would charge me an arm and a leg to fix it.

Took a photo of the screw for anyone without a tg01 who can help:
[TG01 Themes and Apps] DiegoZac:
I have installed Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional SE CE 5.2.20973 (Build 20973.1.5.5) and I want to install the official update from Toshiba ( WM 6.5).

Cheers.

That's a cross-wing/tri-wing screw head. It's the same screw that Nintendo use.

If you're from the UK:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TRI-WING-CROS...s_VideoGameAccessories_JN?hash=item1e58c7efca

Ebay for £1.89.

If you do unscrew your TG01 could you please take pictures of it? Might help other users. Also please post on the Modaco site which has a dedicated TG01 forum.

Good Luck!
[TG01 Themes and Apps] bashah:
Hi Thanks for the link, I will indeed post photos if I get it open.

Are you suure this is the right screwdriver though as I looked at my Wii and the tri screws are much larger than those of the tg01?

I've got two showing at the back of my wii plus addons and they look like this:

I found the same on the nunchuck but its not as easy to photo as its sunk in, it looked like it was a much chunkier head?
[TG01 Themes and Apps] Medved77:
I'm pretty sure they're the same.

I took a wii apart a while ago and found the same screws hidden underneath the rubber pads. There are 2 types of screw head used in the wii.

I can't make out the screw head from the picture though.
[TG01 Themes and Apps] stepw:
WM build is not the same as ROM version. ROM version looks like this:

xxxx.yyyy.zzzz

For example pre-release Orange UK WM 6.5 is 5005.0001.6556

If second group of digits is the same in your current ROM and the ROM you are trying to install, upgrade should succeed. If not, then you need another ROM variant to upgrade with.

I decided not to fix mine as I'm not confident enough to open it. I watched a few videos on opening phones and decided I was most likely going to damage it more.

I'm selling mine as faulty for £250 if anyones interested.

My ad on the Marketplace was removed as I dont have enough posts yet so if anyone's interested, pm me and I'll send you my email.

Mods: I hope this is ok, I'm not after breaking any rules but still want to sell my phone and ebay haunts me as a scammers paradise.

[TG01 Themes and Apps] poochuse:
Don't know what you mean ?
[TG01 Themes and Apps] bashah:
this isnt true as far as I know its your sim that is blocked and can be unblocked by the carrier.
[TG01 Themes and Apps] Cassatta:
You are fully right!
[TG01 Themes and Apps] Cassatta:
This is not due to a missing file but that is while you try to execute an update that is not for your country.

That's a protection from the operator to avoid you buy a tg01 in Hong-Kong and a sim card in UK for example.
[TG01 Themes and Apps] war7s:
Can you give more detail? My Sim is locked?? But I can use it on many phones ( unlocked).

What I need 2 do 2 use this Tg01?

tg01/wm 6.5 call quality problem

I have exactly the same problem after updating to WM 6.5: people simply drop my calls because they give up trying to understand me. And it has nothing to do with my blluetooth headset, I've tried also without it.

BIG QUESTION: what to do now? Having a phone that is pretty useless, who to turn to? Microsoft? Toshiba? Orange? ...
[TG01 Themes and Apps] gmx333:
Who ?

Who ? Microsoft has nothing to do with the call quality infact there lots of phones with WinMo that work pretty well. Nor Orange infact here in Italy I have the same problem. The problem should be the radio stack that was done by toshiba that built this crap phone and perhaps hw problems with Qualcomm (Snapdragon) chipset.
[TG01 Themes and Apps] redline8400:
audio distortion

Count me in on the audio problems. This is the second TG01 with wm6.5 (not upgraded by me - probably by Orange) I've been sent in two weeks. In short, my uplink audio gets choppy and people either cannot make out what I'm saying or they just hang up on me. The problem is intermittent though and I've found it's sometimes cured by forcing the phone on either GSM or HSPDA modes.

I've also had serious problems with distortion coming from the regular in-call speaker. I'm on Orange UK and would love to keep this phone but it's driving me insane. I even get slight distortion on the ringtone when I call other people. I don't get distortion on the speakerphone and on the headset though. Does anyone else have the same problem? This is the second phone they send me, the first one had the same identical problem. Both we're shipped with wm6.5 installed. Any ideas or feedback would be appreciated.

Cheers!
[TG01 Themes and Apps] razerbug:
I'm on Orange UK as well, TG01 that came with 6.1 and now has 6.5 - don't get call problems any more.

I live in London so I have top signal all over, but I've used the phone in Derbyshire and Cambridgeshire (which has crap signal!) and had no problem.

I know it sounds stupid but the only time the other person has had a problem hearing me is when I first got the phone and wasn't used to it's size:

The mic is in the bottom left corner (if you're looking at the device). So if you transfer the phone to your left ear and end up talking at the bottom right corner, you'll not be heard. Similar story if you tend to hold the phone high on your right ear and end up talking to the bottom right corner.

Seriously, as dumb as it sounds, on the few times I've been told by the person on the other end that they can't hear me or I'm breaking up, I've looked and realised I'm not talking into the mic.

or maybe it's just me?
[TG01 Themes and Apps] redline8400:
Thanks for the tip - often the simplest tips are the best. I'm sure you're partially right about callers not hearing me. It still doesn't answer the distortion on the incoming part of the conversation. Like I said, even the ringing before someone picks up is slightly distorted. Surely that's not common? Have you ever had that problem? Anyone?

Cheers!
[TG01 Themes and Apps] tomandries:
Who?

I don't care about who messed up, as a client I only care about who can solve my problem.

Still, I would be very cautious about blaming one party or another unless you can really prove so. Things nowadays are so complex and interdependent that it is seldom only one factor but the combination that plays. The disaster is that no one takes "co ordinated" responsiblity. I'm afraid another initiative by governments will have to be taken to settle this matter once and for all.

Share market forces are really working too slow, unless you don't mind paying big buck for zero service on crappy product configurations.
[TG01 Themes and Apps] maxxpop:
Same

unfortunately my friends, I have the same problems with my tg01,durring call, hearing the other person - sometimes is distorting

I hope Thoshiba will solve this soon.
[TG01 Themes and Apps] os_man:

same here too, i have an o2 TG01, using in Turkey, i dont know anything about wm6.1, i immediately upgraded to 6.5 before using the phone. and now people say that my sound is so hard to hear becouse of a weird background noise.. by my side i can hear so clear and loud enough though..

[TG01 Themes and Apps] columbo:
call quality and slowdowns/crashes: some workarounds

I have found that some of the SRS WOW cabs over at the modaco forum seem to improve call quality. Once you install the cabs, you go to the SRS WOW HD settings which is in Start - Settings - System - SRS WOW HD. Then go the the TruBass tab and increase the input gain. I'm not entirely sure if this is the thing that helped, as I fiddled with some of the other settings not really knowing what I was doing. :rolleyes:

It's not perfect, but I had a full conversation today without too many problems, which is better than I've had before.

As for the slowdowns, I used a program called MemMaid to find that a program called calupd.exe was seeming causing a problem sometimes when it restarted. Whenever it starts without that program, it is not slow, but when it does go slow after a reset, calupd.exe is always running. It seems to be causing device.exe to use 100% of the CPU. I think it's a notifications bug that has often been a problem with Windows Mobile since WM2003, but it's a problem that has been popping up again in other WM6 phones recently. This may have been partly to blame for the SD card corruption issues in WM6.1.

The reason for the problem is complicated I think, and unfortunately you can't just get rid of calupd.exe because it is needed to keep the calendar tidy, but I have been able to keep the problem under control by deleting duplicate notifications using MemMaid. SKTools is another program that with do it.

There are various guides on this forum telling you how to fix notification issues. I think that they should help for now.

Has anyone else noticed this??

I've emailed Toshiba about it. If you notice the same happening to your device, then do email them too. They only seem to listen when several people complain.

I wonder if those of us who are affected (and there seems to be many of us) could coordinate a complaint to Orange where we phone them on the same day to report the issue? We all need to email Toshiba about it as well. Because they have made it so hard to flash our own Roms, I don't think we'll see a fix unless a lot of us complain. Please don't just put up with it. I'm convinced this device can be so much better if it weren't for Toshiba's being sloppy.:mad:

Oh, and I've avoided installing .NET CF 3.5 because it seems to reboot with that program. Everything else is fine as long as I keep deleting duplicate notifications every day.

Hope this helps. Sorry I haven't explained in more detail. I may try and edit this post with more detail about what I did if I get time.

well, i'm thoroughly peeved. i bought this toshiba wonder phone after my unlocked and jailbroken iPhone turned out to be blocked by o2-de. turns out the tg01 is a complete lemon due to lack of support from the community- mostly toshiba's doing. my main gripe is the language issue- i can't use all of the features of my phone until i learn more technical german. in other words, i want the friggin' OS in english.

here's what toshiba had to say. i won't comment on their poor use of the language:

"Thank you for contacting Toshiba Mobile Communications.

You recently wrote us about an issue that you have encountered with your device.

To clarify your issue, you stated that you wish to change the language on your device.

It is not possible to change the language on PDA devices. You would need to purchase your device in the language you wish to use. This is due to restrictions within the license purchased from Microsoft. If choosing to install any other operating systems you will loose your warranty.

We advise you to refund handset and purchase the english version from the retailer

I hope you have found our information useful. Please do not hesitate to contact us again for further assistance and use the reference number found in the subject field for all enquiries.

Best Regards,

Toshiba Mobile Communications"

[TG01 Themes and Apps] stepw:
This is WM6.1 though...

As mentioned earlier in this thread, TG01 updates come in several formats - .tsw, .enc, .bin. Of these 3, vendor/variant checks are only carried out for .tsw updates. E.g. if you use .enc or .bin ROM image instead of .tsw, you can flash official ROMs in any language available. This is going to void your warranty though.

Official ROMs are always distributed as .tsw files (hint: file extension can be changed :)). Also, TG01_SDDL needs to be tricked to accept .enc or .bin image, it only allows .tsw by default, this should be possible.
[TG01 Themes and Apps] hlov:
Hey,

can u do that? I am a winmo developer maybe I can help u, the tg01 is really annoying, good hardware but I need 6.5, I have already hard reset my phone 5 times since I got it, and is not hw issue because after the hard reset it works fine, I got mine from Spain and there's not sign of any upcoming 6.5 for it,
