[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] Rick_1995:
First of all i want to tell you guys that when i was flashing MWG rom (WWE_020108_B2_DS) onto a O2 WM 6.0 (WWE_RC2140907B2) using pass.32 hack, setup ended up with error - "No target device found", even though it started normally. After this i did a soft reset on my moblile and it seems the windows rom has screwed up and it hangs after loading.

Though bootloader is working so i'll be installing O2 rom through USB later..

The major problem is that since i do not want to upgrade rom through SD, I wanted some roms that do it through DSUU, i tried some roms like TJ's, etc..

but no avail, they start correctly but then no progress and device just does a reset and loads back to Windows kernel. How should i resolve this?

For your information my Device info as on device info and back of device:

Model: O2 XDA Atom Life

S/N: BAL1G3C743C00YM

DATA BUS:32BITS

PROCESSOR: xSCALE ARMV4I PXA27X

FREQUENCY: 663 MHz

RAM: 64MB

ROM/FLASH: 1GB

ExtRom:EX0917

HARDWARE:V7

RADIO:AL1_KLN2340_070905_RS001

ROM:WWE_RC2140907B2 (BEFORE CRASH)

WINDOWS MOBILE 6 PROFESSIONAL

CE OS 5.2.1616 (BUILD 18120.0.4.0)

BOOTLOADER - AL1 640K EBOOT

Also i would thank in advance whomsoever is able to help me out or refer me to a rom that will work with my device.

Also i have noticed, my device uses some AL1 bootloader whereas most of the roms up here are for the boot loader MN1 and MN2, Does that make much of a difference and will i be able to install such roms from SD?

At morning 4 today, i got an idea, just like we remove 12 byte header and do a upgrade from sd, why not take the file of a rom and add the 12 byte header from the original ROM at C:\Windows\Temp\ and then replace it...

Though this idea worked perfectly and OS was installed but then a message popped on my screen "OS hash fail!" and had to install default ROM from boot loader using DSUU. any help will be appreciated
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] Rick_1995:
1st Problem Solved

I got the first problem solved by first getting a rom from o2 then one from mwg,

got their source,(RE) replaced the security hash check from o2 and builded a new rom containing device code of mwg. So now im officially (partly illegally) a MWG O2 owner.

Still looking for roms

Installing thru DSUU

Hi,

I tried to do the upgrade based on the thread. Nothing happened other than the mobile getting restarted 2 or 3 times after pressing the camera/record + reset button. Is there any way I can get a DSUU installer exe which will take care of the upgrade .

Hey Rick,

how did you install 6.5 thru DSUU. Please help.

hi

i am using sony ericsson bt headset - hbh-pv740

on my previous phones (iphone 3g and se w910i) the volume level was good enough to feel comfortable - on my hd2 it is on the 100% level but still quiet.

any ideas how to improve bt voice level?
[HD2 General] smaberg:
had the same issue, its due to the none standard bluetooth stack, i just changed to a new nokia bluetooth headset with volymecontrols on it, theese work 100% but my old ones without volyme conrol is so quiet i bearly hear the one im talking to, i got it a little better by doing the following..

use advanced config 3.3 goto bluetooth settings and put ALL values to max, reboot and thats it.

please tell me how this affected volyme for you!

[HD2 General] curvatura9:
I have a chinese bluetooth rearview mirror without digital volume control (only an analog knob like a fm radio volume one), and the output volume was extremely low with my new hd2 (with a nokia n97 was perfect).

Tried to modify registry settings without any results.

Then I discovered that disabling "single volume" for ringtone/system in settings i was able to raise the conversation volume using the hardware volume button on the left of hd2. Now i'm totally satisfied with the output power.
[HD2 General] htc12345:
you might set the volume with the volume keys on the phone when connected to headset.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingnothing83:
Hi,

I have purchased a 1 week old Hero (well a T-Mobile G2 Touch) that I will be unlocking. I also want to upgrade the firmware to the most upto date version. I feel more comfortable with upgrading it to the latest t-mobile version of the rom and seeing what its like, i'm sure i'll get bored and try out a custom rom later but for now i want to play with it with the official rom. Several people have told me that I need to unlock the phone and that it doesnt matter whether i do this before or after I upgrade the rom.

But the question is, I will be using this with my 3 sim in the UK, will the phone know my settings or will i need to input these manually, things like internet settings?

Many thanks

Simon

Too bad only that these fvcktards all sell european versions of phones which

[General Topics] ilgaz:

[General Topics] coolVariable:
Not bad - like how they at least declare which phones are US 3g and which aren't.

They do have the Magic and the Hero but both are overpriced by about $100.

No Acer Liquid (which is the phone I have my eye on, now that it is out)
[General Topics] HTC Touch Freak:
The best place that beats any other onlines store in the US or EU that I've used is Clove.co.uk.

The reason that you're not finding ANY phones with US 3G is because no manufacturer sells any phones unlocked in the US market. (Except for a select few phones) For that try BestBuy.com or go to a Best Buy in person. They are expensive and they only support AT&T 3G.

The point is, finiding an Unlocked phone you want with US 3G will be tough. Rumors are that the Sony X10 will have T-Mo US 3G. Until Manufacturers start making Quadband 3G unlocked phones you will be stuck with edge. Right now that's the price you pay for buying a phone that the US market won't see ever (or for atleast 6 months) and not being under contract. I think that's still a deal.

]

So if you really want 3G, sign another contract and get a phone from the carrier. Right now that's the only way. Don't yuo wish the US used EU's Carrier System here and their 3G bands?

Fix: Let me fix something. Looks like they need to make phones that have 5 or 6 3G Bands in order to be true 3G World phones. They would be 800/850/900/1700/1900/2100

1900/2100 for Europe/Asia

850/1900 for AT&T

800/850/1900/2100 for Japan but mainly 1900/2100

and 1700/2100 for T-Mo US

900 for Australia and other.

So if you want an unlocked 3G phone make sure it has the 850/1900 bands if you have AT&T or the 1700/2100 if you use T-MO. Just because they state the phone has US 3G does not mean it will work on your carrier.
[General Topics] coolVariable:
I know.

Which is why I am looking for 850/1900/2100 phones.

The primary reason (if you ask me) why you don't see many unlocked phones being sold is twofold:

1. Price

2. Most stores are fvcktards: they don't even know that they are selling a 'crippled' phone even if you point it out to them.

Good examples are the 3 phones I have been looking at recently: HTC Hero and Magic as well as the Acer A1.

The majority of stores will happily sell you a EURO phone without telling you that it won't work. The ones that have the NAM version, will sell it to you for $100-$150 'over price'.

I am even willing to give them some leeway, since Hero and Magic are carrier bound in the US and HTC might not be allowed to ship the NAM version to US stores (making it more difficult/expensive for stores to sell them [not sure if that is legal though]).

What pisses me off big time (and proves that stores are absolute fvcktards) are phones, like the Acer A1, which are not bound to a carrier and will never get sold in the US unless they are sold as unlocked phones. Those stupid dickheads at the stores can't even sell that phone with the proper model in the proper market and the morons at the manufacturers spend millions on advertising/publicity but then can't even get products into stores!

I agree ALL GSM phones should have quad-gsm and quad-3G frequencies.

So last but not least it is also the phone manufacturers fault, since they should build quad-GSM/3G phones!
[General Topics] HTC Touch Freak:
I wouldn't blame the stores on anything. Yes they know they are not selling a NAM 3G compatible device but it will work on edge. It's not their fault that it only woks on edge in NA. Blame the manufacturer.

Phones like the G1, and magic you can get with US bands but they are only T-Mo US 3G bands. (I have yet to see an AT&T one Besides the phone from Rogers) I have not seen an Unlocked Hero with NAM bands. If there was one It'd be in my pocket.

Again, Most of the unlocked phones that you are seeing that have NAM 3G are either T-mobile only or AT&T only. So you still have to be catious when you buy the phone. The US sellers that sell unlocked phones are selling the exact same EU/Asian unlocked phones that the EU sites are selling. Why? Because that's all there is to sell. And typically the US sites sell the phones at a higher price because they can.

Clove.Co.UK I got my Topaz the day it came out and it cost me $520 USD shipped (From the UK to CO). Other US based sites had the phone for $580+ excluding shipping.

My final word is that we all should send E-mails to HTC Worldwide stating that we want phones with True World 3G compatibility. We refuse to buy carrier branded phones and need the extra bands for personal and buisness use when traveling abroad. Even the EU and Asain Versions should come with "World 3G" bands. They do travel to the US and having 3G work here benifits productivity. Heck even users of branded US phones travel to EU/Asia for buisness and not having their 3G effects their productivity which in turns slows down world productivity and in the end hurts the world economy because someone had to wait 40 more seconds to DL something.
[General Topics] coolVariable:
I absolutely blame the stores (as well as the manufacturers) and you should too! The HTC Magic and the HTC Hero are not only made with US 3G bands ... you can even buy them unlocked in certain stores (usually for $100-$150 more than the EU version). Do your research!

(e.g. unlocked Hero w. at&t 3G: http://www.importgsm.com/product.php?productid=660&cat=0&page=1)

But it's not only phones like the Magic/Hero (which after all are sold in the US carrier bound) - the same is true for phones that are not bound to a US carrier (e.g. Acer A1, Acer F1, certain Nokia phones, ...).

There is no reason why US (online) stores (or even the manufacturers) can't sell those unlocked at full retail price.
[General Topics] HTC Touch Freak:
Dude Research. That is not an Unlocked Hero. That is a Branded Rogers and/or Telus Hero. Which is LOCKED. You have to buy it from Telus/Rogers Unlock it then use it on AT&T. If a store online wanted to sell it Unlocked they have a right to sell it to you for $150 more than an unlocked EU version.

Just look at the facts. This is AMERICA. The phone companies will not sell you a phone they carry and your carrier doesn't. It's called competition and Greed. They lock you in to a contract and "make" you use their phones that they want to carry.

In EU carriers don't care. I'll use US carriers as an example of how they work and we should to. I have T-Mo. I want the HD2 and only AT&T carries it. I would walk into the AT&T store and say I wan't the HD2 unlocked. I pay full price pop in my sim and go. Easy as that.

But the US carriers want you locked down. Hence the reason the companies are using different 3G bands than the rest of the world. It's stupid so don't blame the stores that just sell the phone or the manufacturers then. Blame AMERICA.

Mebe you should do the research and READ.
[General Topics] coolVariable:

http://www.negrielectronics.com/product_info.php?products_id=3036

And by the way - great argument why stores are not selling NAM versions of phones THAT AREN'T BOUND TO ANY CARRIER!!!!!!!!!
[General Topics] HTC Touch Freak:
Bah ha ha ha. Alll that is, is a rogers Hero. I wouldn't be surprised if it had the Rogers logos and software on it. Heck for that much they probably flashed a stock rom and ereased the logo. Not that hard to do you know. 'TARD

http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-remove-Logos-from-your-PDA--cell-phone-wit/

There are other more profesional ways to do this. Find them yourself. HTC has no Hero for the US Unlocked or locke. If they did Bestbuy would be selling it. And obviously it only has AT&T 3G which happens to be the same frequencies Rogers uses. Derrrr.
[General Topics] coolVariable:
You really are a retard, mmmmh?

So every unlocked phone is a "rebranded" carrier phone to you? I see ...

That's probably also the reason why they don't sell all those phones that are not bound to any carriers.

Too bad only that Rogers doesn't sell the Hero. But what do you care?
[General Topics] HTC Touch Freak:
Oh I'm sorry tard...... Telus sells the Hero...... Show me somewhere or something besides a store site, From HTC, that says they made/make an unlocked, unbranded, Hero for NAM. Specifically the US? Thank you very much.

Obviously you can't understand how the American phone market is out to keep you in a contract and how phone manufacturers won't just make an unlocked phone just because they can. It's all about money in the end and that's that. As long as American carriers keep making their own rules and 3G frquencies and keep people in contract and manufacturer phones sell the manufacturer won't care to make unlocked phones for the US. As long as they get paid they don't care. Just quit crying buy an unlocked phone and live with 3G till a true "3G World Phone" is out. Or shell out the cash and buy one that works with your bands. I'll be buying the X10 with the T-Mo bands.

Better yet sign a contract and get a subsidised phone since you're complaining about price for a phone that has been hacked and De-Branded.

OH WAIT.... AT&T doesn't have any Android phones. And if they did you probably couldn't afford to keep it long due to their high data plans. $5.99 full web on T-mo FTW.

Hope you enjoy your Holiday.... Good bye
