YES!

@VadimUA

You'll be happy:

I flashed the Modem+AP from the T5388++ German ROM. nexted I flashed the T5388++ English ROM again (it does not contain a modem).

And after that, if I insert my BeeLine SIM, the *101# command nicely tells me I have 102 Rouble left!!

Specs:

ROM C03.001.01 ENG

Date 2010-03-15

Radio 3-22-2010 11:47:54

Prot BASE_W09.20_P4

Now, if only I had the balls to try that T5388i English

Anyway, I'll test all the other radio functions first.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] VadimUA:
BRAVO!!!!!!! I'm really happy now :-)

But I a little bit upgraded your brilliant idea - I had the Russian ROM and flashed the Modem (only) from the German ROM and now I have working properly of USSD requests

Thank you VERY MUCH!!!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] HuaB:
Is this works for 5388i?

So if I understand right first I must flash AP+modem from German 5388++ and then flash Russian 5388i?

Or just flash Russian 5388i with only "modem" from German 5388++ (or German 5388i???)?

Can you wright all steps? 10x!

By the way - is it +7... work with this modem version?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
I am 99% certain the modem of the 5388i and 5388++ are the same. But 99% is not a full 100%. it is far less certain the ROMs can be interchanged. So best use the method of flashing the modem-only from the German 5388++, and not the entire ROM.

BTW: if you look at the sizes, the German 5388++ is probably the only one to contain a modem, non of the other ones will.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] armidaamica:
Thanks for your answer. No, I don't have anything like that... it is annoying, every now and than I must open the phone to turn it on...

I see that you managed to "mix" the ROMS, I might try to do that myself ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] VadimUA:
Unfortunately ussd-requests work only for SIM1, but anyway it's progress :-)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
Could I just ask if anyone else has had problems with the Android os on the T5353++? It seems that every comment I've read about this phone relates to the WinMo operation. My problem is that I have a copy of the ROM posted earlier, but no copy of the original, so I'm worried about flashing only to find I have something less useable, as at the moment Windows runs without any issues.

I've tried contacting the supplier I bought it from, and though very friendly, it seems they can't help. What I want to know is if any version of android supplied with these phones has a working calendar primarily, as I can live without the sync & Market, as there are ways round the lack of these.

Thanks for your time.

T5388++ Comatose status

hi to all!

I have the same problem whit C03.001.01 ITA ....comatose status 2-3 times in a day :mad::mad::mad: I'll go crazy!

I wrote to my seller, he said he will send me a new rom...

T5388++ New ROM - SMS problem still there

I have installed the German ROM (phone + modem) and everything seems to work as before. Actually, it seems that the connection to GSM has become a bit faster.

I had hoped that the SMS problem would have been solved, but that is not the case. However, the new ROM shows a "GSM logon screen" (showing you own phone number) when it has connected. Now, when a SMS is send to the phone containing for instance a mobile TAN from my bank, then the phone obviously receives the SMS but then the message handling/GSM module seems to crash and restart and I get another "GSM logon screen". So, if anybody has a clue what to do ...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] armidaamica:
This is a pain, and, of course, makes the phone unreliable. In my case never happens when is connected via the USB cable to the PC (or Netbook), I have tried to change the settings for the power options with no luck.

Please let us know if the new rom corrects the problem, than if it works and you don't mind sharing it, I wouldn't mind giving it a go and have the phone for a while in the old Dante's language ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Huh, I have Dante here in the bookshelf, but its the English version. :D

Anyway, this is what I noticed regarding the comatose state: Most days, I have no problems. There were only two days where I had comatose problems, and on those days, indeed also about 3 or 4 times.

On one day, I was experimenting with the 'keep device active' option of GPS program NaviComputer, and I assumed it was an odd interaction problem between NaviComputer and S2U2

On the 2nd day, I had just activated the 'also lock notifications' option in S2U2, and later that day, I turned it off because of the coma problem.

I do not think I ever seen it outside of those two days, so I still see no reason to believe it is a core T5388++ device problem. I still think it is some interplay between installed programs fighting over sleep and wakeup routines.

So I cannot assist you directly, but hopefully this account helps you to zoom in on the potential program conflict you may have.

Edit: I had a 3rd day today with 3 times comatose, but I had again the NavoComputer GPS program running, so it in fact strengthens my perception of program interference.

Hi

I've been using my T5355 since february and I'm very happy with it. But I never managed to get the G-sensor to works in gravity games. (It does work with screen rotation) I tried many different things, downloaded lots of .dll's, installed lots of programs but I never got it to work. Could somebody maybe helpe me? :)

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tomisdn:
Anyone has a clue if there is a TomTom version which would run on this phone? All I tried so far say the device is not supported.

I can now confirm the TT7.450.9028 working (install...havent tested navigation yet) in my particular case.....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Can you see this video: http://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XMTY1MDYxODA4/v.swf

Its what I used. The guy is messing around a bit, and its bad quality, and he speaks chinese, but it shows the steps. The program with the 5 checkboxes is the build-in calibration program (even though my phone is quite different) Do you have that too? After that, the extra utility is shown.

Since your 5355 appears to be slightly similar to my 5388++ (its also using the IDT flash utility) it should probably work the same as mine, hence above video should work for you.

The HTCemu program you have is build for Omnia. I would give it less chance to work, but who knows. In any case, you best check with the relevant forums.

Also, the same chinese developer ptlgf also made a program for TOPS A1. A completely different dual sim model, but I put the link here anyway. I would also not expect that to work for your phone, but I may be wrong: http://www.mobileuncle.com/viewthread.php?tid=24336&highlight=ptlgf
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Try here: http://files.uloziste.com/d690aae61fac82b7/

No idea about good. Not even sure if it works at all. All I know is that the top one is not for my dual sim t5388+(+), so it is probably for your single sim T5388+ Please report success/failure here, with device information.

You are aware there is always a risk of failure, so you should probably not attempt it if the phone is working good enough for you not to want to loose it.

Instructions are believed to be:

- Use a smaller than 2GB microSD card, format as FAT, not NTFS.

- when you unzip the file you must change the file name to SMART.UPR

- COPY this SMART.UPR file to memory card.

- Turn off the phone

- Press "Hang-up" key + "Dial" key and "Turn ON/OFF" key. It will start the

update processing...

- when you see the "Update Success" you can restart the phone.

EDIT:

A subforum even, because the other XDA user with 'real' phones ruthlessly cut of any questions on clones. They look down on us a little. A subwiki may even be better, so maintenance is shared and cleanup can be done.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] armidaamica:
Well, at the moment this phone is a bit of purgatory :D But I aim to the paradise...

I have uninstalled all the programs, apart from tomtom, skype, fly wireless coreplayer and adobe pdf reader. I have not touched the ones that come with WM, but still no luck, I have contacted the seller and I am waiting for an answer...

However, thanks for the suggestions ;)

T5353++ Dual OS ROM

For those who may be interested, I flashed the English rom posted earlier, and the android version is 2.0, identical to what I had before (no calendar, market or sync, oh yes, and calendar storage still crashes out, so no chance of using jorte as a surrogate)the Windows version seems to be more up to date, with better buttons for menus, closing apps etc, don't yet know how to find the radio version otherwise I'd post. The upside is that it loads Android into flash memory rather than being run from the sdcard, so it's significantly quicker. I hope that someone can cook a complete system soon, or finds a way of slipstreaming in the missing bits. Anyone got any ideas?

BTW, I had to flash the rom twice to get Android to boot, this might have been a unique anomaly though.

All suggestions very welcome and greatly appreciated;):)

Hey I wonder if any of you guys could help, your kitchen you're using looks like it may with a little tweeking work with a Ciphone C6, but all the text in the kitchen is in Chinese, so I don't have a clue what it's saying, can anyone help me out here, I'm looking to change the Ciphone C6 6.1 Rom to 6.5 with English language. the only 6.5 roms release are cooked up in a Chinese forum for my phone and they just won't seem to give away any clues at all on it's done.

Dial + End Call + Power is what I wrote in the first post. Hell I don't even have one of these phones lol so I can't be sure. That aside, has anyone tried installing the universal WM 6.5 with TouchFLO + SPB on top with English?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Topigo:
Where can I find universal WM 6.5 with TouchFLO + SPB for T5353
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] decayed.cell:
megaupload.com/?d=FOVSDNVD SPB you can download a trial of I think - I'm guessing that if you put SPB on top of this particular ROM it should change to english (I'm not sure how SPB works)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Topigo:
Is this the English or Chinese version
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] decayed.cell:
The ROM is Chinese but if you install English SPB then the whole OS might turn into English. Again, I don't have one of these phones so I can't tell if it that will work . If it doesn't work you can go back to the first post and install English 6.1
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ddannelley:
WM 6.5

Want to thank all in this forum. My t5355 had been broke, could not boot but with the forum help was able to dl new wm 6.5 rom. The phone now works. I just have one question is there away to add the weather back to my t5355. The rom does not seem to have it, is there somewhere in setting I can go?

Cybermaus,

Thank you for your reply. I can see the video, but I haven't got the App with the 5 checkboxes. Do you know where I can find this App, or what the name of the App is?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] armidaamica:
Mine, T5388++ is working fine and I had the same problem, I have set the TomTom like this: change preferences, show GPS status, configure, set it on other NMEA GPS receiver, NOT the built-in, than GPS baud rate set to 4800, choosen COM6 and than it has found the GPS device immediately. Good luck ;)

t5388++ comatous

Hi, pending ROM that I must receive from my seller, I tell you that yesterday and today I just tried to leave the Bluetooth always on (which I always keep off) and the phone has never been in "comatous" ...mah...:confused::confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tomisdn:
This phone is a serious nightmare.

Dialing problems, SMS problems, crashes, GPS not tuning, GPRS internet connection not working properly..... Terrible

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] armidaamica:
You are welcome. I am using TomTom 7 Version 7.915.9196 and, as said previously, works fine. My problems are others, at the moment. About your complaints about the phone, I see what you mean, but I am confident that, if we keep on sharing our experience and information about it, in the end we'll be all happy.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] armidaamica:
Thanks for the info, I'll try today. However, as Cybermaus was saying, our problem must be software related, I really hope that flashing the rom will fix the problem forever.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Very sorry to hear. As you know, I have had more luck, but they may be due to usage. GPRS and SMS seem to work fine for me, but I admit I do not use them very heavily.

The GPS is different:

It has happened to me a few times the GPS refused to get a connection, but I was seriously messing with it at the time (trying to send binary SirF command directly into the internal GPS COM3 port, rather than the user available COM6, using a custom self-compiled program. The result was that a) I had to do a hard-reset to get it to work again and b) I have to advise people to stay away from the internal ports COM1 to COM3, don't even try to connect to it, they are labeled modem, blue, and gps, and are for internal connection to the various radio components. Also do not set the GPSID hardware port to COM3, leave it blank!

But after the hard-reset, if I made sure I got a good GPRS connection and used the AGPS utility for the first cold fix in a minute or 10, subsequent fixes in a less them a minute, sometimes 2.

So I was wondering, in your TomTom attempts, is it possible COM3 received incorrect commands from TomTom? Also, did you try the build in AGPS utility first, before using TomTom? Are you willing to try another hard-reset, and then make sure you use the AGPS first?

Also, I advise TomTom 7.950 version rather than the 7.450 version. It seems to work with the official Microsoft GPSID (build in) drivers, and also can use the maps made for the newer V8 TomTom versions. (V7.450 is limited to V7 maps)

And finally, just a question: Did you notice in the back of your phone, with cover removed, on the foot of the stylus housing, this odd oblong black 'sticker' that seems to be useless. In my case, it was coming loose, and as it appeared only a sticker, I almost ripped it off, when I noticed it was an antenna. You did not by any chance rip that off did you? I think (from the size) its actually a bluetooth or wifi antenna, but I cannot be sure.

And then a remark I originally wanted to wait with till some further tests on a cloudy day:

As you know, I upgraded the modem recently. I had not used the GPS for over a week, and I replaced modem and ROM firmware entirely. So it is as deep a cold-start for GPS as you can possibly get.

I also had not activated GPRS settings yet. So when wanted to use the GPS yesterday, it had to do so solo, without AGPS, for a very cold start, and was mentally preparing for a 10 minute fix at least.

Imagine my surprise it had a screen of red satellites within 10 seconds. And a fix in 60 seconds. For a cold start without AGPS, that was very fast. And the rest of the day, fixes within few seconds all the time, but I had fixed the GPRS by then.

So, either the new modem has improved GPS dramatically, or the atmosphere above Netherlands was exceptionally GPS friendly yesterday. I am not sure which one yet.

EDIT: information applies to T5388++ and probably T5388i phones.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tomisdn:
I have never ever spent so much time trying to set anything up :-))

As for your comments:

I might have tried COM 3 after I was lost. Truth is that after trying COM 3 I do not even see the sattelite map anymore :-(

Hard-reset - will try

Strange I seem to be using TomTom_7.450.9028 and Eastern_Europe_845_2666....

Black sticker untouched...but peeling off - I will glue it with epoxy

GPRS - 1. standard setting on my HTC Diamond works, Opera automatically triggers connection.

2. 5388++ - GPRS - exactly the same setting - connection only manually in "Manage my connections" - When trying to open a www in IExplorer - page unavailability message despite the previous manual connection - I do not get it, not at all....Any tips?:-)

GPRS problem seems to be solved by hard reset - probably caused by messing with hardware ports in GPS
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
I assume you mean GPS problem solved.....

Did you try the new modem by any chance? If not, I would like you to hold off, play with GPS for a while, then upgrade play again, and report your findings. See if you also have improved GPS, or if I am seeing ghosts (my own experiences fall under the category "too good to be true")

As to GPRS: Indeed, manual setup, no provisioning. Just choose the "GSM modem (GPRS)", put in the APN for your provider. Typically you can leave user/password/dns empty, and it works (for me at least). Oh wait: you did select the correct data sim in the data sim setup program? I checked GPRS for both, but am usually using it on SIM2. I use Modaco Nodata to activate one of both connections, but you have to set the corresponding data sim in the data sim setup program.

Ok, someone *told* me it should not work. I do not think I actually tried myself. Still, why not use 7.950
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tomisdn:
No I ment GPRS - internet - hard reset solved it - there was obviously some port messup. Looks my setting were correct afterall and there was a hardware problem.

I am going to try GPS now.

I did not try the new modem, I just skipped the posts so I will have to go back and see.

TomTom - there were some problems with the upper version TomTom installer - "The device not supported", this was the first one I found working. Anyway I will try

Currently after hard reset, I get immediately satellites on the sky map in TomTom and they are moving (so there is signal reception), but thats it. I was out only for 10 minutes but not one of the satellites in TomTom came online

One note: The sky map of satellites is different on HTC Diamond which is catching signal normally and 5388++ running A-GPS.... Strange...or not?

Did you somehow play with A-GPS server - I mean did you change server address?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Many variants of AGPS for different chipsets and network providers. Sometimes the AGPS provides satelite position (almanac and ephemeris), sometimes it provides the first rough fix, and sometimes it even offloads calculations to the tower. Or so I've read.

I think (because this AGPS talks to a world wide TCP port rather than the cell tower directly) that our AGPS only provides sat-pos. So its probably not really the 'network supported' AGPS. Its probably not the AGPS as mandated by the US government, who insists all phones get a tower assisted precise position, even if the device does not lists GPS as a feature.

So if the device never had a fix yet, and it does not even roughly know where on the globe it is yet, it may show the satellites from the wrong hemisphere. Maybe it shows them as they would appear on 0N, 0W

Your other device already knows where you are, so it will show the sats that are actually overhead. So even with AGPS, the first fix may take a while with these systems.

No, I kept all AGPS settings default.
