Given the request of the moderator, following discussion in English.

Good afternoon.

This is my first contribution to the forum and actually is not mine, but another person I met on the internet. But, as I have been much favored here, I would like to contribute in any way.

Anyway, I saw several posts that many are looking for the ROM, Windows Mobile 6.5, the A3100 in Portuguese. Well I found this blog on the Internet and I'm posting here for everyone.

Below is the text of the blog with the download links and also link the author, of course:

WEDNESDAY 16 JUNE 2010

Windows Mobile 6.5 en

I got one of the sources come from an English ROM Chinese, translate and recompile introducing some changes among which are:

Unlock button is at the bottom of the screen (much better);

Office Mobile 2010;

I removed all those widgets that do not work;

Removed Windows Live (I prefer that low Marketplace to be more complete);

I left the JBlend Java (others who are unstable after install);

Removed Streaming Player (only works with data plan) you can install later youtube;

I removed the card reader access (useful for a few, so if you want to download later);

I got him (without removing more applications they may be missed) would be 65 mb free storage and 38MB free ram.

Ran the Need for Speed Underground (proof that the video drivers are ok and 3D), wm5torage (proof that the storage drivers are ok) and IGO8 without the patch (proof that the internal GPS is ok). Finally, all hardware is ok as wireless, bluetooth, gps, audio, video, cameras, touch screen and the main phone (gprs and 3g).

Remember that not always the fact that this application does not work or does not constitute a bug, but can sometimes be a mismatch (as occurs in PCs when migrating from one version of windows to another).

These roms are not official nor Motorola nor Microsoft, is a version that a group of people developed from a Chinese version and now I get the source and compiled in português_BR.

Install it at your own risk! (Even if something goes wrong the warranty will not cover).

If you do not know enough about installing drivers, firmware, etc.. finally has a better knowledge about computers (the A3100 is a Pocket PC and not just one cell) did not try to upgrade rom.

Step 1. Download Motorola_A3100_USB_Driver_0.01, rapidshare.com/files/271436279/_file_Motorola_A3100_A3000_USB_Driver_0.01.rar this is the USB driver.

When complete go to the hardware manager and see which port is the device (usually you have the port com1 and lpt1 then the other door is certainly referring to the A3100, note the number of this port.

Step 8. (If you want you can skip this step but is recommended as this will create an image of your current ROM in case you want to go back to 6.1) when the PC recognize the A3100 run MB60_GhostTool_V0.4a \ cdma_dmtool, enter the door referring to the 3100 and click start, you will be prompted for a name informs win6-1 and click ok, the process will take about 40 minutes. step to end September.

Step 11. disconnect the battery pack and switch on, wait a few minutes and you have an A3100 with Windows 6.1 in Chinese. Can not read Chinese? Okay, me neither! But always just go by clicking on the virtual button on the left when there are two and only when there is only one button, it will reset each dua times after that then turn off it and go to step 12.

Step 12. Turn the phone off, remove the battery, connect the cable to the PC (better if it is XP but also works on view, and seven 32-bit) and A3100.

Step 13B. Unplug the power cord, insert the battery and turn on, wait a few minutes and you have an A3100 with Windows 6.5 in Portuguese BR.

Note: It goes without saying that you should make a backup of all your contacts, calendar, etc, because you will have a new system and have to reinstall all your programs again.

This update is ONLY for the A3100.

Any change in firmware is a risk, do so at your own risk.
