hey navonils, sorry for the late reply...

navonils my sincere opinion is not to upgrade. its just because the roms out there are Chinese roms. the rom which w900 comes with is quite stable only problem is the battery gets drained..

i haven't found an English one until now..

.am trying my luck to cook an English one..i have been trying all these while to do this..the problem is while unpacking the Chinese roms in order to remove the language files i don't get the dsm files...that's where am stuck...

yeah if you know chinese you could go ahead and upgrade it..any way see below on how i did it.

ok here goes.... before you do an upgrade make a complete backup of your phone using spb backup or some program similar.

there are two ways to upgrade the w900

1st one : via the phone sd card itself. need to rename bin file to k3img.bin and place it in root sd card.

inorder to get in to flashing on the phone press these hard key on the phone

vol up + vol down+ power button

2nd one: via the PC

Method 2: IDT Upgrade

1. Download IDT and install multiupload.com/589A7YCI4C

2. Launch IDT. At the prompt type 'hisilicon' as the password

3. Uncheck VerifyVer box

4. Browse for Image File by pressing '...' and point it to the .bin file that you want to upgrade to

5. Ensure your phone is turned off. For the w900 hold vol up + white center button which is next to the end call button + press power button.

6. Your computer will install the necessary drivers for USB mode and IDT will flash your phone

download a rom of your choice.but keep in mind that this phone supports only w5800 roms..as some of you might know this is a clone of w5800..

i always do with the 2nd method as it forces the rom file into the flash chip.

the first one works too but the problem is the version number inside the rom must match with the hardware ver of the w900 which is not the case always.

i made a rom myself with part of my dumps which is 6.1. its working perfectly...with minor cliches :P

i guess i have flashed the chip in my phone now around like 15 times :D

let me know if you get stuck up somewhere...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sankhauaa:
please give me the valid link of w5800 english 6.5 rom
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jazzy112:
dude i haven't found an english rom until now... thats the whole point. am trying to cook an english 6.5 rom which am unsuccessful until now..

have cooked only 6.1 and which is working
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jazzy112:
ok here you go..below is the link for w900 6.1 rom

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5EH4NI5R

keep in mind that this rom has minor issues in camera package.

you will need a cab file to rectify it which i don't have.

so use at your risk..am not responsible if you brick your device

do u know any website where w5800 eng 6.5 rom is posted ? pls help us:(

"boss give us 6.5 rom"

Thats not how it works sankhauaa.

@jazzy thanks for the reply in the other thread

My only disappointment with WM6.1 is that it doesnt have threaded email and the looks are really ancient.

I looked through internet for w5800 ROM but there is none. I guess only hope is that someone with W5800 English WM6.5 uploads his device ROM. I do know it exists as this link shows,

zzz.lightinthebox.com/W5800-Windows-Mobile-6-5-WIFI-JAVA-Quad-Band-Bluetooth-Built-In-Multiple-Softwares-Flat-Touch-Screen-Cell-Phone--2GB-TF-Card--SZ05630050-_p93660.html

replace zzz with www in the link.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jazzy112:
thanks sharan for the input..

i will keep my eyes open for english rom based on the above link..am also trying to cook a wm6.5 rom by replacing the language files to see if it helps. but with no success as of yet. i will keep all posted if i get through.if you do get any ideas please post in. thanks ..

how is the phone anywaz?

for how much did u got it?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jazzy112:
yep had tried this only..

this is what they say :

Regional settings specify the style in which your Windows® phone displays numbers, currency, dates, and times.

these are the only things that change in the phone...

well there are two ways to go around now since i wasnt able to cook a new rom with eng lang

1: wait for someone to dump an english rom as sharan had said

2: change the chinese language using mui language files when the phone is in use.

will try to change when i get some spare time..

t5355 c01 rom compatability

does theroms u updated worked well on micromax w900.am asking because i too prefer to update to 6.5 english,my question is

does gps,wifi,bluetooth worked well:confused:

how is phone radio,phone call quality +fm radio,does that work,:confused:

does camera do well:confused:

will there be any change in resolution ,ie screen res,memory ram,rom size after update:confused:

i dumped my micromax w900 romin 4 raw parts,combined those raw rom image into nb files,and joined to a single nbh file:cool::cool:

the easiest and simplest awailable is to use a simple command(dos) utility

pdocread.exe,available on itsutils tool

and build nbh using erviouskitchen

now i have.nbhfile of orginal w900 stock rom,but i didt update it on my rom,

i am not familiar with idttool,is that specially developed for cloned phones,setting romis eazy here,i spend hours looking to rom like standard htc phones ,and finnaly found,but am afraid to update .nbh

this rom update utility is cool,i need more info about this...

is there any official w900 rom from micromax company,any one,i will try some customer service points if i cant get one??

the rom stucture is same as standard htc rom,and its got extflash romtoo,whish stores application and drivers in separate memory not on os memory,will that remain there if i use idt:confused::confused:

so micromax w900 stores the autoconfig apllication here,it contains driver and apps,camera cab softwares,spb shell ,am trying to extract these cabs from rom

am going on,i have it raw dump,now need to extact files after .raw to .bin conversion
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jazzy112:
first of all Good work micromaxw900 for all the hardwork.

firstly yep it works well in all..the only problem is i have a wm6.5 chinese. not english..

i checked t5355 c01 rom too it is compatible but the issue is with the power stand by. when it goes to stand by a white screen comes up and then the screen goes blank nothing comes up even though the phone is on.

also the buttons are all jumbled up.. the settings are based on t5355 clones..

yes ram size is different for the chinese rom i tried. but it differs from rom to rom..

as you said about the nbh files ,am not quite sure if that will work..as all clones work with a bin structure file. i could give it a try if you want to. but may be we need to sign it with IDT software..not sure about that too :D

well yeah using envius kitchen it does good..only problem is the resulting nbh file..

i have been using c6 kitchen, kaiser kitchen,t5355 chinese clone kitchen(not that good).. dont use much of kaiser and others coz they create a resulting nbh file structure based on standard htc mobiles which wont work on our clones.

yep as said the easiest way to dump is using cmd tools that how i dumped:cool:

Yes about the IDT tool..as far i have seen its meant for our clones.as it helps to sign a BIN structure to the resulting nb0 file we get from c6 kitchen

The IDT tool can be used to merge IPL,raminit, and other things into bin...

IDT is also meant for flashing the roms into our phone.

yes as you said the partition table structure is the same as htc phones but the procedure that is used inside the kitchen is different for our clones at least thats what i had seen in c6 kitchen and other clone kitchens..they use osnb tool for all the works...

micromax has not yet published their roms yet.maybe in future :))

let me know if you would like to test the nbh file or anything on my phone.. just upload it to megaupload and i will post the results that i get..

UPDATE: i tried to upgrade using IDT an nbh file. it says file is incorrect so i guess that wont work..there is tab in nbh util that says nb signing to bin file..but nothing happens when i click it..have a look at it and see if you can get a bin out of it

While watching movie (a full movie, mp4 format, 1 hour and 36 mins), after 6 or 20 or something minutes, it freeze, I still can go to home or other apps but oh photo gallery to view the video again is impossible. The only way is to reinsert the battery and play the movie again but then again after few minutes the issue still persist.

[HD2 General] kilrah:

Installs a little exe that runs at startup to restore that reg key.

But yes, this forces your phone to never enter standby anymore, giving you a max battery life of about 14 hours even when not touching it.

IF you use push e-mail via Activesync/Exchange, wifi will stay on also without the hack, and won't draw extra battery.

If you need to sync email 24/7 you'd better be doing that over data though.

Have flashed the official HTC 1.66 rom (again) but everytime I do boot the phone, the system setup up starts but hides in the background. I can only see it running when i power down the phone and the setup screen flashes up for half a second before the phone switches off. Any way I can get this to the foreground so that I can skip through the processes to stop it loading all the time?

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] m0tyrider:
Gday everyone, this thread is basically just a excuse to vent....

I hope they get a 100% stable version of Android to make my phone actually a decent phone...., though i doubt it will be soon.

The HTC Touch pro is just a piece of un usable ****. Custom or stock roms, they are much of a muchness and i still hate this laggy phone.........Very dissapointed, it sounds excellent on paper, (Camera, GPS, Wifi. All awesome idea's, but the wif is low powered, the GPS Sucks and is basically unusable, and the camera is pretty poor considering others that were available at the time) but is just crap in practice.

Can't wait till my contract is up so i can get rid of this flop of a phone!

Am i the only one who is disappointed in this phone?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] TomasNM:
Why did you bought it,when it is sooooo crappy? If you don't like it,sell it and buy a new crap. Actually,I am a bit disappointed of it too,especially GPS is unusable and the Wifi only with good signal. Yes,it is laggy sometimes,but I can live with it. There are many different reasons,why we are using WM instead of Android and that's the development. There is a lot of people here,they understand almost everything about this device,so we can fully customize apps and user experience. I have an Android as well and that is just a toy in comparison with WM,eventough WM is outdated for some individuals.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] m0tyrider:
Honestly. If the GPS worked. And the wifi was a lil better. The lag would be tolerable. At the time i thought it was great. But a few weeks go by and i think to myself. I should have gotten a iphone. Ive had the phone for about 18 months. In 6 months its upgrade time. Thank god i can get rid of it!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Smaniac:
The phone is a bit laggy, yes, especially when typing, but I have no problem at all with the GPS. Quick fix, usually under 40 seconds, and never loses signal after that. Before I updated the radio it was a little worse, but even then far from unusable.

Of course you can't expect a phone released 18 months ago to perform as well as the new ones (with Android especially), but I don't think there was a better phone on the market when it was released.

If it weren't for Android I would be pretty happy with my phone. But now that Android exists I really want to have it, so I'm planning on upgrading to a Desire soon.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] stylez:
I'm Happy :)

No problems @ all GPS fix in about 25 secs, camera is poor on nearly every HTC device have a digi slr and if not on me the phone suffices, nothing laggy about it.

Planning on updating to android but not due to being disappointed in phone just want to try something new to me.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] touchtaz:
I am happy with mine, but like most people always want the newest thing out there. I have never had a problem with the GPS, using Sprint Navigation, TomTom, Tracky it always works, fast to get sats.

I have the standard rom, with some of the tweaks found here.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Mister B:
I'm happy with mine, camera is ok (have some good images), GPS works, wifi works, not too laggy & is far more powerfull OS than iphone or Android.

I'm using TAEL standard 6.5.5 ROM & a few tweaks & it's a pleasure to use.

Most bad experiances are due to unlucky individuals with a bad standard ROM & not motivated enough to update ROM or add the tweaks available on this forum.

you get from life what you put in, this device is the same ...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] MrDSL:
I have had a hermes for like the last 4 years or whatever and my friend has me using his fuze to customize it. I am using the newest energy 2.5 sense rom and while I like the sense and everything the phone is laggy..

Coming from the hermes I thought this phone would be much faster but I dont notice a difference. I know I'm running more stuff but it has way more memory left over than my hermes ever had and it still lags even in txt msging.

The overall volume is worse than the Hermes also which really sucks..I can barely hear a txt msg notification when its in my holder and that wasnt an issue on my hermes.

The keyboard kinda sucks also..It just doesn't feel the same and its hard for me to tell i even pressed a button or not. Also whoever came up with the button layout needs to be punched in the face!!

Another thing the phone dialer..wow that one click to call leo dialer or whatever it is, is very hard to get use to. I think I called about 5 ppl yesturday by accident. I just disabled the HTC Dialer cause I couldnt stand it anymore. I think the touch screen is too sensitive or something cause I have problems touching the screen and scrolling in other apps also.

Overall I like the phone its okay but I am glad I didn't get it when it came out..
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Sefy:
I wasn't too thrilled about the phone, mainly cause i dislike touchscreens and to be honest i still do (iPhone, Android and WM). This phone offered me the best it could of both worlds, i have a full qwerty keyboard and some button on the front and the annoying touch screen as well.

The original ROM (AT&T) was pretty useless, once i put one of the custom roms on it, i have grown to like and enjoy it. Everything in it works perfectly, i've even had better GPS results then a standalone GPS device compared one next to each other using same application and map on the same road.

I think it's all about what you want, and what you need.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] TomasNM:
Raphael is a very special device. On one side you will love it(sharp VGA,D-pad,extras such as magnetic stylus with sensor,keyboard,accelerometer,sensor area below display). On the 2nd side you will hate it due to poor GPS,crappy Wifi,slow reactions and low acceleration of the graphics. However as I said before,this device is about user customization and opportunities,so it is one big compromise. Only thing you need to make clear is,what you want and what you get. For me,I want to do many things(browsing web,outlook mail,bussiness planing,perfect ergonomy,customization,development) and these things I really can do with it. Of course there are minuses such as navigation and GPS at all. One big minus on my HTC Hero is also capacitive touchscreen,that has nothing to do with ergonomy(that's all about image,that Apple was designed few years ago). I really hate this technology. Many things I do with Raphael's touchscreen(sliding finger lightly without reaction-that I really like,handwriting with stylus) are the past with Hero. Unfortunately,but it is true. Another thingie,I am really scared to lose D-pad or any kind of alternative,I can't live without it
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] aSquard:
Eh... it does what I need it to do. I'm going to jump ship and pick up an actual Android device whenever AT&T decides to bring a decent one.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mputtr:
I have never had a problem with the GPS. It has always been snappy to me with the right roms. Wifi is kind of weak, but I dont use it exclusively so it's not a big deal. Now for those who use Sense 2.5, it it laggy and that's because (as explained by nrg) the original theme was meant for a 1ghz system and we have half of that. even if it's a sense port, it still requires alot more cpu power that the fuze can not physically give.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] sdemon:
Just got a TP in a warranty trade. My Xperia was dead and they did not have any left..... While I like the phone it is indeed a bit laggy.

Will go to custom Rom very soon I think.

GPS is no issue for me as I have it in my car allready. Never used a phone for that mainly because there are better dedicated systems available. Wif is also no issue allthough I tried it and it is actuelly rather good.

All in all I kind of like the phone but I am happy I will get a TP2 in a couple of weeks in an upgrade.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] TomasNM:
I have big problems to get GPS fix(i got it finally after 2 hours of attempting!). It seems,that the device has builtin "GPS Importance" sensor,because it never works when I need it and works good when I test it only. Wifi is indeed better as in Diamond2,where I see 50% of signal,D2 sees only 25%,while my performance was set to max.battery save. One thing I don't understand is,that HTC Hero has the same chipset,while the performance is much much better(maybe system dependent and drivers) and Hero GPS is almost perfect. It gets fix even before I burn a cigarete outdoors. Also it doesn't heat up while using wifi or gps as Raphael does.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mputtr:
try updating your ROM to a newer one. I am personally using the early march model and i think it's great. My GPS doesn't have any issues picking up signals. Usually at best 1 minute.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] TomasNM:
It doesn't help. I tried already many ROMs,still the same result. Nevermind,GPS in my case is useless,especially when you need it. I've used navigation with Toshiba and now I use Hero.
