CER DX900 has never been mine, but my colleague ... not spend 500euro ever for a phone...

This phone works really well, never a block and is especially UMTS ... The Chinese should ingenuity to create something better! :D

Fortunately, their prices are very competitive...

A tip, according to you what are the programs that can not miss on WM?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
AAReset (to reset every day)

S2U2 (to lock the touch screen, careful with the settings though, some settings drain the battery, other settings make it go 'comatose')

AEButton plus (some custom button assignment, task manager, rotate on command, rather than on gravity)

VolDPad (to assign volume keys as cursor keys. Can also do this with AEButton, but I find the latter just a tad unstable/unreliable)

And on this phone, Magicall, for reasons discussed.

MoDaCo NoData (prevent unwanted data connections, especially useful when roaming)

Total Commander (file manager)

Wifi Monster (build in WiFi utility does not handle WPA well)

Advanced Config Tool V3.3 (some easy and well known registry tweaks)

For the rest, it depends on your interests, my most used programs:

- a hiking type GPS (gpsVP)

- a navigation GPS (iGo)

- Excel (reference info from work)

- Phone addressbook

I have lots more programs, but thats just play. Actually, GPS is just play too.

PS: if the DX was not yours, I am betting you had it too short to realize it also had quirks. If that was your first WM phone, you probably though when something went wrong, it was your own doing. Anyway, from memory, it is a 200Mhz 64MB WM6.1 or even WM6.0 device, so even if it is a good phone, I deselected it as being too meager an PDA.

latest wm6.5.x with CPU overclock for t5355/t5353

Could anyone want a new English wm6.5.x ROM with overclocked CPU for t5355/t5353? I found ROM cooker in china which could make new ROM for our clones. But it costs. It would 2USD from each who want to have it. Futher questions in PM.

t5358

hi all,

i have a t5358- i made the mistake of thinking it would be close enough to the real deal :(

is there a stable english ROM for this phone anywhere? the one i have received with the phone is terrible- gprs internet doesn't connect at all and the phone has random crashes, not to mention manila 2D doesn't work

the only roms that i have gotten through google are chinese and i don't understand chinese at all :(

i can't return this phone and have made the mistake of selling off my trusty dash which was in retrospect, way way better!!

ROMs for T5388++ (that's double +)

No one has really requested this yet, but if anyone is looking for ROMs for the T5388++ (that's double +, not i, not single +), you can download them here:

http://solonomi.com/rom/T5388++/
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] fschwenk:
Hi Solonomi.com,

do you have any version information for the T5388++ ROMs? The IDT that I have from Fastcardtech loads the ROM flawlessly. If it is a newer version, then it might be time for an update again :).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] fschwenk:
To me the wrong prefix handling seems to be a bug of the ROM. HTC for instance has an additional setting for the SIM card (services section) to set the international prefix. MagiCall cannot solve the problem with differing prefixes for different SIM card because it is not even aware that there are multiple SIM cards.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] VadimUA:
Hi Solonomi.com

Thank you a lot for the ROMs for T5388++!!! We are waiting for new ROMs for this one... :-)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] armidaamica:
Thank you very much.

Does anybody can kindly advise if I can flash it using the USB procedure for the T5388+ that there is in the first page of this thread (ROM Upgrade Instructions)?

I have just purchased a T5388++ and I will use it immediately

If I will flash it, I think I will lose all the programs like tomtom (apart from the ones coming with WM 6.5 I guess), is it right?

Thanks a lot to who will spend some time to answer to me
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
If you just purchased a T5388++, then there is probably no need to flash, as there is no indications that newer ROMS exists since Februari, so you probably already have the latest. Please do post the exact rom and radio version you received the device with, and if you do flash, do post the exact rom and radio version after the flash. So we can check if there is really no newer ROM.

While I'd love to have someone else test these ROMS from Solinomi, just to check the small chance they are newer, I must advise you not to try it unless if you have some specific problem that you hope to solve.

Also, it will be factory new after install, all programs you installed yourself will need to be installed again. That includes TomTom. One advantage: TomTom writes the license on the memory card, which is not flashed, so you only need to reinstall the programs, the maps and license will be retained.

No, the T5388+ is a totally different phone than the T5388i and T5388++. Which is partly shown by the fact you need utility SUT for the T5388+ and IDT for the T5388i and T5388++. Search and read this thread for IDT for additional instructions.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] armidaamica:
Thanks you for your quick answer. I want to flash it because the language is partially in Dutch. I am also in the Netherlands, but I am an expat and I don't speak Dutch yet. How can I find the the rom and radio version? I don't mind testing it,the phone is brand new, I think that the only extra was TomTom
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] armidaamica:
ROM Version C03.001.01 ENG

ROM date 2010-03-15

Radio version 2-2-2010 13:50:10
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
You have the same as us other ++ users.

If you see any Dutch, I am guessing it is messages and SIM context menu's from the dutch provider you use, but I would doubt it is in the phone itself. Which means it would return after upgrade.

Still, if you feel like it, please do try the Solinomi ROMS, there is always a small chance they are newer. Make sure you use the latest IDT, and that you select the double-sim chipset option in IDT.

Do let us know, I am sure after a brave and bold trailblazer like yourself checks the path ahead is safe, we will try also. Though, to be honest, the only thing I am hoping for is the international prefix solved.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] armidaamica:
Ok, let's see what happens... First, do you know where the reset button is? it should be on the right side of the phone, but I cannot find it.

In IDT, where do i have the option for the double simcard?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] armidaamica:
I have found the reset button, it is under the plastic cover :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tomisdn:
If I would want to flash the above rom from solonomi to my 5833++ how exactly would I do that?

Different button combinations are mentioned on this site, IDT indicates "the image file is incorrect""platform not selected....." Sorry after 3 hours on this thread I still have no idea how to do that

t5358+

Could somebody tell me how to make a backup of the rom of a t5358+ diamond2 clone??
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Use newer IDT, older IDT cannot handle the dual SIM.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
When you open the file, it should prompt you with a platform question.

Select platform Dual GSM/GPRS(SC6600)

If it does not prompt, its probably already good.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] armidaamica:
My IDT version is the V100R001C03, any idea if it is a new or old version?:confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
If it has the SC6600 dual sim option, then its new enough

I have 1.1.1 , but I think I had 1.1.C03 also at some point.

Mind you, I have played with it, but never actually did the final step of flashing a clone, as there is/was no need for it. Its from reading chinese websites through google translate that I have (think I have) this info.

(I did do a lot of flashing on my HTC, but thats soo common to do, its a well trodden path)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] armidaamica:
OK, done it. It is the same version.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tomisdn:
Anybody can post a link? There is not a single one in this forum, not that I have seen during the past 2 hours of searching. Yes I have used search, so do not refer me to that ;-)

Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] armidaamica:
I have used this http://www.cndigit.com/url/zzec82
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Well, what to do. I know for a fact there is at least a dozen links to IDT in this thread, and also good old solonomi.com has IDT as part of his collection of ROM's as well.

So if you really spend 2 hours searching, you probably need to work on your searching skills a little. But OK, here you are.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tomisdn:
The one at //solonomi.com/rom/, yes I have seen it, no it did not work, that its why I posted my first post describing the error.

Hope I have better luck with link of yours, Thank you
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
In that case: @solonomi : Can you put the newer IDT in your collection? It should support the older models as well, but the newer models need the newer IDT. Download from the links above.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] fschwenk:
@tomisdn

You might want to make sure that the file name (and path) of your ROM is short and does not contain any chinese characters. It helped me to copy the ROM directly into the root directory of a drive and rename it.

To install the ROM on a T5388++:

Shut down cell + unplug USB cable ,then press "Hang-up" key + "Dial" key and "Turn ON/OFF" key -- now you see Downloading on display - now plug cable.

IDT show flashing status, after 100% cell was rebooted. That will be it.

using the flash card did never work with my T5388++ so far.

5388i

Is it any progress with problem of +7 and USSD?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Can you (re)explain the problem with +7 and USSD?

The International dailing prefix (IDD) problem has been discussed often enough, and is to install Magicall. Any talk about USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data) problems I may have missed.

Edit: I do recall someone complaining about banking TAN codes to fail, which indeed may use the USSD function, but if that is the problem you refer to, sorry, I have seen no further update on that.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] VadimUA:
USSD requests do not works at all :-( I hope new firmaware could be fix it but I did not find ROM later than March 15

Try to make call like *101# - you must get error...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Well, yes, but *101# is provider specific. And neither of my providers is using that code.

Edit: And if I use *#30# (retrieve callerid display), which is more universal, I nicely, after a few seconds wait, get a USSD message back that its enabled.

So the claim that USSD is not working at all may be exaggerating a little.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tomisdn:
Thanks. I placed it on C: - still the same problem.

Download options are grayed and not available, when I select the bin it says

The platform of the image file is unknown, plese select platform.

Than it gives me GPRS and CDMA options

Than it says

The image file is incorrect.

Phone obviously not compatible with Windows 7 - it only installs drivers in lower versions of Windows. Any solution to this?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tomisdn:
Dear Cyberm. the link you gave me is the same version as solonomi. For some reason not working for me. Issue described in my previous post above.

Any clues? Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] VadimUA:
You can try ANY USSD request - *xxxxxxxxx#
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Did you select the dual sim one? Post a screenprint with the options you get and the selection you make.

Windows 7: here
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Well, yes, you can, and your provider may then send back a completely working USSD message saying they do not support xxxxxxxx

Difficult to tell if you are getting a 'do not understand xxxx' or 'do not support xxxx' message

Did you try the *#30# one?

I am not saying USSD is always working. I am also not saying *101# should not be working for you. It may very well be that it should be working for you and your provider, and is indeed broken.

I am only saying *101# will not work for everyone, and I am also saying that if *101# is not working, that it does not mean all USSD is broken. So far, I have gotten at least one valid USSD message.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] VadimUA:
Yes, *#30#, *#31# are working properly - but that's all :-(

I have found the utility which can send USSD requests (via AT commands) to COM port but I don't know how to switch t5388++ (after the connection to PC) to "modem" mode

Thanks again for any tips

PS: I also sometimes get a random dialing error - 4 strange beeps and no connection. What is weird that same number from same sim works one time and does not few moments later randomly. Is this the Magicall issue?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Download this one. Before installing, uninstall the old one, and reboot. Try again.

Depends, is the phone number in +xx international format?

Anyway, what exactly are you expecting from this flash, you did check if you do not already have the same version?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Interesting, can you send me a link to that utility?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tomisdn:
I expect the dialing to be reliable. (Yes some of the numbers were in +420111111111 format - I will investigate this deeper)

And first of all I expect the options to select SIM when sending SMS to be visible in the SMS menu. I mostly use only SMS and it is silly just to click one of two white empty menu items.

Without these two things I will not use the phone so it actually cannot get worse with reflashing. Nice brick anyway:-)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Yeah, but if you had read all the posts in the last 4 pages, not just the ones answering to your own questions, you would have known that the ROMS you are trying to flash are the same ones we already had for the last 3 months, just some extra language versions. So they will still have the two white spaces in the SMS, and will still have the +xx issues.

It can always get worse, but given your brick remark, you are at least aware of that.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] VadimUA:
I have no link but I can send via email. Only one note - this is not English program, but UI is very simple :-)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
I just took my BeeLine SIM (for traveling to Moscow), and tried it.

First I tried it in another phone, and even though I am roaming, *101# nicely gives me my balance (at least, I get cyrilic mumbojumbo and an amount)

Then I tried it in the T5388++. And indeed, a not supported message. But heres the interesting part: When I tried with my own sim, I got an *immediate* not supported message. When I try it with the BeeLine, it waits a second, as if it is checking with the network, and then comes back with a message. The timing feels the same as for the earlier successful *#30#.

That leads me to believe that it is sending the code to the network, but the network is for some reason not willing to accept it from this phone. Maybe a small syntax error, or maybe BeeLine just does not like Chinese IMEI numbers, I have no idea.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] VadimUA:
Yes, it looks like prepared ussd-package has syntax error. The same issue is presented in t5388i phone (dual sim), but for t5388+(single sim) and A1 Tops (dual sim) it's ok
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
You have access and tested it on those phones, or it that repeated info?

If first hand, I am interested to know in the rest of the behavior of the TOPS A1. Any good/bad things you can tell me?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tomisdn:
I am not as bright as everybody else here so excuse me ;) I am returning the phone - it is practically unusable as such.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tomisdn:
One more question - the blank sms SIM selection items.... any clues? This is the biggest problem for me.

h**p://img24.eu/v.php?file=3hhm4ykd.jpg
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Sorry man, I do get a little tetchy sometimes. But as you are probably aware, its not about being bright, its about paying attention. At the same time you were asking your questions, user armidaamica was reporting back the results from flashing the solonomi rom, and told it is was the same old version. So I think being tetchy is justified.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Just a missing text ID in a language file. A good hacker may be able to fix it, but I find it not important enough (and may not be a good enough hacker to boot) to spend time on.

The international format is more annoying, but a workaround exists.

As to the USSD / *101# problem, I can imagine if you have a provider that needs to have that, that would really make a phone 'practically unusable'
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] VadimUA:
It's repeated info only. In russian theme forum (about China phones) these questions are discussed.

Tops A1 is very interesting phone, the main shortcomings are poor screen and hardware buttons insufficiency (I mean no side buttons for sound adjustment and no on-off button - sometimes it's very inconveniently).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
@VadimUA

Is this interesting for you?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=349955

He never seemed to finish the app, but it mentions another app called dciBalance And maybe there are more apps like that around.

[edit] hardware button insufficiency? poor screen. Do tell more....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] VadimUA:
dciBalance - is very well-known program in xUSSR, I tried to use it - but without success :-(

I have written about the buttons, about the screen - this phone has wqvga screen and it looks less bright than t5388++ (as for me screen in t5388++ is excellent). But TOPS is much more cheaper than t5388++ - and for many people it will have crucial importance :-)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tomisdn:
+420123456789 - no dial - wrong number

00420 - dial and SMS working

national format 123456789 - 3-4 strange beeps and no dial - this however does not occur every time. Occasionally it dials - no clue about what causes this.

good 1 thing solved
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] dzenk:
Hi, about the missing SMS options; in the new ROMs by Solonomi this problem is fixed (t5388i - I'm sure I've done it - and T5388++ - I hope).

There is also a much better handling with the dual SIM - the contact, that was contacted over one SIM card will be automaticly contacted (call or SMS) over this card the next time.

ROM version (T5388i): C03.020.01 ENG

Date: 2010-04-12
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tomisdn:
I just tried h*tp://solonomi.com/rom/T5388++/ , but this is the same old ROM that is already installed :-(

As already mentioned by cybermouse
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
@VadimUA

Is there, among the infamous Russian hacker community, not someone who can trow together a test app using the lineSendUSSD() build in function of MS

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa923063.aspx

I may be able to do that myself (have programmed small WM apps before) but it would take me very long, because I am not that good a programmer. Also I have no motivation to spend several evenings, as it is not my problem (sorry)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
C03.020.01 ENG !

That is indeed a newer one. Pity we just have two reports that the 5388++ is still the old C03.001.01 ENG !

Its also a bit strange, because the previous T5388i reported was C03.001.03 ENG so assumption was the last .03 was for the 240x400 screen. Now I wonder if the screen is irrelevant to the device and maybe we can mix them.....

Edit: Can you tell me, in the device info of the C03.020.01 rom, what is currently shown. CPU, speed, mem, resolution

Edit2: Can you also report on the +xx international format handling of your new ROM. And mention if the Radio version was also updated or not. And user VadimUA will probably want to know if you can use *101#
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tomisdn:
...unless I flashed it incorrectly...I am a newbie. Anyways I selected the new bin, attached phone in Downloading mode and the IDT uploaded the bin, than restart. It still shows the old ROM number :-(

Hope someone finds or creates new ROM soon correcting the dual SIM handling:-)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] armidaamica:
I have checked again, it is the same. The different languages were due to some programs that the seller installed for me.

I am left, however, with a strange problem. After few minutes without using the phone, it goes in sleep mode and the only way to restart the phone is to use the reset button (I have learned quite well where it is....) Any suggestion about what it could be? Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
Hi there, I'm curious about this version as the android os in my T5353++ has no calendar, sync, or market (the only bit of the calendar app it does have - provider, crashes at startup, WinMo runs fine thouugh). Does anyone know if the build in this ROM is complete? Be nice to hear from someone who's tried it.

Oh, and does anyone have usb drivers for this phone, as I cant get adb to connect without them - which was the other way I thought I could fix my android...any thoughts, could this work?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
You probably flashed correct, after all, you have the same results as before.

I have some good and bad news from the German forum:

Some of the T5388++ ROMS are also the new C03.020.01

The German is, the English one is not. Maybe the Russian one is also, maybe not.

Also, one German guy reported that on C03.020.01 the *100# worked, another reported that *101# did not work. But as we know, that may be provider dependent, so maybe it works for BeeLine, maybe not.

I am still not certain whether the roms are interchangeable. Caution tells us not, but the German T5388++ reports the *exact same* C03.020.01 as the English T5388i. But as my 2 weeks of downtime is over, and I have a 6 week business trip starting this weekend, I am not going to run any risk now, I need the phone.

Edit: Also, and this may be important: The Solonomi T5388++ german file has a modem (radio) part inside. And this radio part is reported by this German guy to be *newer* and that is the same guy that claims that *101# is working.

Ergo, even if we do not dare to flash 5388i, we could update the radio by first flashing the T5388++ German (select AP+modem in IDT) and then flashing the older English T5388++ again (select only AP in IDT)

That will update the radio. That *may* fix the USSD / *101# problem.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Is any of the program a sleeping and/or locking program like S2U2?

I have had sometimes the same problem, I call it comatose. It seems to happen more often if S2U2 is set to also lock notifications. So I keep it to not lock notifications.
