Hi
I've spent the past few days geeking with my MDA, using the wealth of info from this forum.
I tried the JasJar rom (too much [email protected]), and ended up with:
- XDA CE Rom (1.13.48 )
- Radio From O2 Rom (1.04.02)
- Minimal Stuff from XDA/MDA ext roms
Goal was to install with the least [email protected] possible.
Step 1 - Flashing The XDA Exec Roms
First flash with O2 XDA Rom, using the info available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32725
To sumarise the above...
- Get XDA rom from:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/Shipped ROM/Xda_Exec_LaunchROM_v113139.exe
- Unpack the above using winrar.
- Plonk MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe in the folder where you unpacked the O2 rom (you can get this file from the ftp site, in the file: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10402.rar
You only need the one file!
- Disable activesync
- Put MDA in bootloader mode
- Connect to PC via USB, wait for hardware detection
- Run the file MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe from the O2 Rom directory on the PC
- Wait ;-)
- Once it restarts, do the usual CE setup, but do not let the extended rom install (simply soft reset at the prompt). If you have gotten past this stage, just hard reset again, and do the soft reset at the correct point!
Step 2 - Installing Progs From Extended Rom
- You'll now have an MDA with the XDA CE and Radio roms installed. It will need the appropriate patches installing from the XDA and MDA extended roms.
- To start, DL both extended roms:
XDA:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/Extended ROMs/O2_XDA_Exec_Extended_ROM.zip
MDA:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/Extended ROMs/mda_pro_eng_uk_extrom.zip
- For info on what each of these roms contain, look at the following threads:
MDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32839
XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32527
- You dont need all that ****e, I installed the following:
XDA:
Signed_SSD_BTUR_Patch_For_BT_Cannot_Initial.sa.CAB (bluetooth patch)
MDA:
CAB-Customization-TMUK-Universal-01-03-04Aug05.CAB (Adds MMS Server Settings)
CAB-Shorcut-TMOENU-08Aug05.CAB (Adds MMS to outlook + installs some shortcuts which you can remove later)
Enable_VT_RTPlugin_0727_2_signed.CAB (Enables Video Calling)
Signed_UNI_TMO_Connection_112100.CAB (Adds 'T-Mobile Internet' and 'T-Mobile Internet CS' for GPRS/3G connection)
Stage 3 - Cleanup
- The CAB CAB-Shorcut-TMOENU-08Aug05.CAB also installs a links. If you dont install the cab TMO_UK_UI_0727_signed.CAB then these will be dead llinks. The 'clearvue pdf' reader is a part of this cab (but if you install it, you'll get all the other sh1te it contains also. I was not interested in the PDF reader, so I just trashed the dead links.
- There are two dead links in Programs (they'll be obvous by their icons. I seem to remember them being 'clearvue PDF' and 'EmailWiz' In Explorer, browse to /windows/start menu/programs and trash them.
- Several shortcuts are installed in /windows/startup. Trash the elatepushservice (I dont know what this does, but I dont appear to be missing anything!), sddeamon (this causes the prompt 'view pics on card' when you insert a card containing jpgs from digicam etc). DONT trash 'poutlook' as otherwise the MMS folders wont appear in pocket outlook.
- Install Pocket Mechanic, and use it to ditch bad registy keys and cleanup the notification que.
- Could also install the ext rom unlocker & Total Commander so that you can shove only the cabs you want into the ext rom (or use the space for somet more useful) See Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33638 (Cheers Buzz!)
Registry Hacks
Goto: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry and pick some registry hacks to install. I did 'keys on today screen', 'disable start menu animation', 'change pocket ie', 'change fonts', 'change glyph cache' and 'change web hardware button' - to 'about:blank'
Goto:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33515 and make the suggested changes to the cache settings. I found that this did speed stuff up, but since its only cache settings, it will only speed up stuff the second time you try and do it!
Soft Reset
Install Your Progs
I installed
In Internal Mem
Resco Explorer (+regedit +ftp) to replace the MS sh1te
Resco Pic Viewer (to replace the MS App)
Pocket Informant (case the built in stuff is useless)
Resco Audio Recorder
Resco Pocket Radio
TCMP Media player
Net Remote (to control my HTPC)
SPB GPRS Monitor (from MDA CDROM)
Zimmermann Pocket Hosts (essential for VPN use)
Small menu (so I can ruddy well close open apps!)
IPConfig
Pocket Putty (SSH)
On CF Card
Total Commander (to get to the ext rom)
WiFiFoFum (for free email on the move ;-)
Pocket Mechanic
Concluding
Machine is now both fast, stable and not full of bloat-ware. Have 22MB free storage, and 27MB free program memory.
Main Issue left is the time that machine takes to respond to an incomming call when its switched off. On the original MDA rom, I had 4 rings before machine actually rang. Now I have about 2.5.
Time for sleep! I'll read through this tomorrow and correct any errors...
Nigel
One essential point.
According to the publisher, Pocket Mechanic should not be installed to the SD-card, especially if you intend using any of Pocket Mechanic's functions against the SD-card - could lead to corruption.
Personally, I've installed (and run) many of the applications you've listed as "Internal mem" direct to the SD-card without experiencing any problems.
Great bit of collating, does anyone know if the same can be performed on a M5000? Orange have a habit of needing things on there phone to work correctly. Also does anyone know what the following do on the M5000 ExtRom:
CAB-Customization-OrangeUK-Universal-01-05-15Aug05.CAB
CAB-Shortcut-Orange-19Aug05.CAB
cusTSK.exe
Enable_VT_RTPlugin_0727_2_signed.CAB
Signed_DiscoButton8.sa.CAB
Signed_Orange_SuspendResume.sa.CAB
Signed_Orange_UAString.sa.CAB
Signed_ORUK_Conn.sa.CAB
Signed_ORUK_Customize.sa.CAB
Signed_ORUK_HomeScreenReg.sa.CAB
Signed_ORUK_SoundSetting_USSDAlarm.CAB
Signed_ORUK_Version.sa.CAB
Signed_pIE_Fav.sa.CAB
Signed_SSD_BTUR_Patch_For_BT_Cannot_Initial.sa.CAB
Signed_SSD_Shortcut_WWE.sa.CAB
Signed_SSD_WLanMgr_Orange_Icon_WWE.sa.CAB
Signed_UNI_pIE_View_Set.sa.CAB
UI_Orange_UK_0727.cab
UNI_BrowserPerformance.sa.CAB
UNI_Orange_2G3G_icon.sa.CAB
Would be a great help if someone did or could find out as I could then cherry pick what to install. I can take a guess at a few of them but I would like to be sure
Thanks
Hi
Aye, I have noticed oddities with pocket mechanic on SD card, but only when doing SD card benchmark, defrag etc.
I installed to internal mem cause its faster than SD card rather than any other reason, but I found issues with some resco apps running on the SD card also - specifically resco upgrade failed (could not install downloaded upgrade)

I can understand Pocket Mechanic objecting when you defrag/benchmark the medium it itself is running from.
Haven't had any problems with Resco, but haven't tried the update facility.

Nope I am a t-mob user. If you are with O2 then you wont be wanting to install stuff from the T-mob ext rom!!
Nigel
want to change dopod 900 (chinese rom) to o2 exec rom
is it feasible?can thr be any incompatibility?
where can I find JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10402.rar ?
Hi,
I am gathering the files to perform the upgrade as detailed in this thread, however I can't seem to find JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10402.rar.
Is there a better one to use now ? or should I keep searching for JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10402.rar ?
In fact most of the links have moved ...
Thanks

Can you dump your extended rom and post on the ftp site?
I've tried installing the french version, but the UI won't install. Most odd...
I can't find the ROMS
I keep getting :
File not found
You tried to access the address ftp://[email protected]/Universal/Extended ROMs/, which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page.
Can any one point me in the right direction ?
I have a T Mobile (UK) MDA PRO, the wifi connection lasts for about 3 seconds, then it keeps trying, but failing.
These are the ROMs I'm after :
XDA:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/Extended ROMs/O2_XDA_Exec_Extended_ROM.zip
MDA:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/Extended ROMs/mda_pro_eng_uk_extrom.zip
Thanks
Hi
Looks like someone has trashed the FTP site (again) all those roms have dissapeared. Hopefully they'll get restored... Did a backup exist??!
I'll search my laptop see if I have any of the missing roms
Nigel
Yup the FTP's missing practically every file...
I need the NO ID upgrade launcher file to flash my MDA Pro to XDA Exec please.
If anyone can upload it or send it me accross msn it'd be much appreciated
take a look at the last post :

Also, if anyone would like it - you are free to download contents of Orange M5000 extended ROM from my website:
www.compsoc.man.ac.uk/~matsmith/bobs/orange.zip
This has actually been released for the Artemis (P3300) on WM5, but since it appears that previously reported mSD card issues migrated from WM5 to WM6, this enhancement may apply to Crossbowed Hermesses as well.
Quoting from HTC EU support site:.."..Sometimes the device shows incorrect file or folder names when displaying my SD card contents. Can it be fixed ?
An improved SD card handling mechanism is now available to all customers. To install this enhancement, please follow the instructions below.."...
The related CAB can be downloaded from this link:
http://www.europe.htc.com/support/faq.html?id=545&device=htcp3300
Worth a look.
The Cavalier WM6 rom has just been made available. The Cavalier itself seems to use the same hardware platform as the Breeze and Hermes and so seemed a good start. The main differences between the Cavalier and Breeze Smartphones seem to be different keyboards and the Cavalier has WiFi/GPS extra. My goal was to port the ROM, remove Wifi and change keyboard drivers.
So far I've not got very far
I've dumped the Cavalier ROM and put a Breeze header on it and flashed it to a Breeze. Not unsurprisingly it didn't boot, just kept recycling on the splash screen. I've looked through the Reg to check the INIT process and the Built-in drivers but nothing jumps out as a problem. It has been hinted to me by Pof that I need to look at the XIP DLLs to see if they are incorrectly mapped in memory as a start point. To this end I've attached the two memory maps onto this post.
Anyone that can help with advice, guidance or even better action would be appreciated.
Talking to myself!
Okay. I realise now that the attached memory maps were not the point. I've dumped the old (WM5 AKU 3.3.1) breeze XIP and the new (WM6) Cavalier XIP and I'm playing with bepe's XIPPORT application.
I'm assuming what I need is to replace all the modules in the Breeze XIP with the 'new' Cavalier ones and then merge back into the payload file. My question is ... how? There seems to be an address required for the build-back and I've no idea what to use. Rommaster reported an offset of 0x000000 for the XIP but I assume this is after clipping it out of the original payload.
I just want to let everyone know that my new 4GB Sandisk Cat2 SDHC works
with my Artemis WM6 after applying the SDHC patch from this forum.
I did a benchmark using PocketMechanic which doesnt make sense to me but It might make sense to others so I attached them here:
I will run Tomtom in DEMO mode overnight (thats how I test TT if it craches after long periods of usage) and report back tomorrow.
continuation...
Update 22 Dec 07:
Found a little bug:
I have MagicSS (free screen capture app) installed. I mapped it to a button on my Artemis so when I want to capture the current screen, I only have to press the button. It works fine.
But when I run Tomtom and press the (MagicSS) button, the original application that the button was assigned to is whats activated. For example, the Camera button activates Camera instead of MAgicSS. Whats worse is when I assign the IE button, It activates IE and Mouse Mode.
I thought it was MagicSS causing the problem so I tried to use Resco Capture It! which comes with Resco Photo Viewer. But the same happens.
I then did a Hard Reset, but Im still having the same problem....
I use an 8GB SDHC since 1 week in my Artemis and works fine with the patch.
Previous 4GB also worked fine.

Would u plz help me which files i should install to my artemis to make a 4 or 8 gb micro sd card working in it. should i only copy the files to some directory of the artemis or to run them on telephone?

tulip holland
Hi tulipswat.n I have attached the file that I used. I also downloaded it from the forum.
You dont need uspl.
1. just make sure you have WM6
2. remove your memory card
3. copy the attached file to your MDA (eg: \My Documents memory card)
4. look for the SDHC driver that you copied using file explorer
5. click the file to run then
6. format your SDHC card with FAT32 using card reader
7. put your SDHC memory card
soft reset... and your done!
The same for xda orbit?
Hello this patch is working also for xda orbit?if it's not plz give a link to download a file that make the same thing on xda orbit!Ty
It works flawlessly with O2 XDA Orbit....

Does it really make an 8GB SDHC work on my artemis running WM6.5 build 21731?
Thanks Man. Works Greatly. Wonderful!!!

Hello everybody. Great forum full of usefull infos
I hope you can help me...
I've got a HTC Touch (Elfin) with WM6 Pro in french edition.
everything works greats but some applications, as some emulators (PocketCommodore64 and PocketNester), that can't find files on storage card.
Both seem not to appreciate the french name of the storage card ("Carte Mémoire") maybe due to the presence of an accentuated character.
For example , browsing for roms in PocketCommodore64 shows about 10 to 15 lines like "Carte M□moire", so I guess there is something wrong in the way the application reads the path.
If I move the roms to the HTC storage, everything works fine.
Is there any way (from registry maybe?) to rename the storage card?
Thank you very much.

Use registry editor & follow the below:
Edit 'Storage Card' in the string value of Folder in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>System>>StorageManager>Profiles >SDMemory> & soft-reset the device.
Also, please use search before posting. Don't unnecessarily create threads.
