Hi guys!
First of all my very atmost gratitude to all people bringing the right knowledge to this forum! It has given me a lot of ways to tweak and upgrade my MDA Pro (Universal). Thanks again. I upgraded my MDA pro in 30 minutes to the latest iMATE WWE + radio 1.04.02!!
Main benefits for me: built-in SKYPE (that works), Built-in Pocket MSN and NOT built-in, but working now: MS voice command (v1.5)
Since it took me a while collecting all relevant info for upgrading and tweaking my MDA pro, i wanted to share my experiences with you and let you know how i finally managed everything. Also because some posts contain outdated info about the upgrade process. So here we go:
UPDATE MDA PRO (NL) -> iMate Jasjar WWE + radio 1.04.02
----------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all get the right files from:
ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]/Universal
Get the files:
* JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301.exe
(from /Universal/Shipped%20ROM/JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301/)
and the file:
* UNIVERSAL - JASJAR - Radio Version 1.04.02.rar
(from /Universal/)
- Unpack both files into a separate directory (use WINrar for both)
- Unplug universal (MDA pro) from USB
- In activesync, under connection settings, disable USB en COM connections
- Put MDA pro in bootloader by pressing LIGHT button + Power + RESET
(you can see USB vaguely on your screen, since you don't have backlight on)
- Connect MDA pro on USB; Windows will recognize new USB device
- Launch the file from the WWE update: MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
- Preform the upgrade (this process takes about 15 to 20 minutes)
(I didnt get any country error here as some described earlier, it went smoothly)
- After it finishes, do not disconnect the MDA pro and DO NOT reset it. Immediately preform the next upgrade:
- Run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe from the radio 1.04.02 directory
- This will take about 10-15 minutes
- After it finishes, disconnect from USB and give cold reset: POWER + reset
- You'll see the new iMATE splash screen, and then the Windows Mobile screen (first boot will take some time)
- Then the device will ask to first-setup and you're IN!
I did NOT have to install anything from the extended ROM, as others posted. The only thing i needed to do after upgrade was:
* Make new 'GPRS, 3G' connection for T-mobile, using the settings: APN: internet, user/pwd: tmobile
Then I deleted my old partnership on the ActiveSync, and activated USB and COM connections again, and synchronised my device! Et voila!!!
Then I installed my previous apps (see tip list on end of posting) and made the essential registry tweaks to my device, which can be found on:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry
Alrighty, hope this will bring the same smile to your face as it did on mine
Take care,
Guido
---------------------------------------
Some other tips I'd like to share:
* install Microsoft Portrait v2.3 for audio/video conferencing!! On GPRS is works better then skype for me! Audio is perfect, video connection (even at lowest settings) scrambles the audio a bit!
* Magic Button is top app!
* VNCviewer does a sweet job on the VGA screen (terminal services works fine too, but doesn't go fullscreen)
* of course Tomtom 5.1 + checkpoint 5.02 and/or POIedit
* Resco File explorer + Registry editor (must have!)
* Upgrading to Skype 1.2 beta did not work for me, stick to the default one!
Guido, execellent post!!!

Having a diferent build (please see below), I'm very much interested to see your tips on the above, TomTom (normal installation doesn' go...!?!) and skype (pre-installed in my JASJAR, but I haven't been able to have it working at all...!?!)
Thanks in advance.

Somebody has deleted all files in the upload section, now the most of the files are reposted again(thanx), i guess, their still are missing some shipped roms.
only rom their is for now; JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10402.rar(if it is a full rom)
So think for now that you have to browse the ftp upload part.
ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]/Universal
simlock
hi
is the simlock from t-mobile removed after you did the update?
because you also updated the radio version........
ok please help, i cant use my MDA Pro cause i have Vodafone!
Thanks in advance
ROM uploaded / reply to questions
Hi guys,
I just read that someone cleared out some files in the upload dir!
So, as we speak the uploading of the JASJAR rom update is in progress. Should be in shipped rom any moment now.
For further replying on your msgs;
- Haven't checked if the unit is simlock free now, but I think i won't be.. I'll keep you posted.
- I read somewhere that Skype needs a minimum of 18MB program memory to run correctly. Right now I managed to get 21MB free, and everything works smoothly.
- TomTom had to be installed with the 4 cabs files, since the original setup didn't work for me (crashed in installer)
And once more; I really love how MS portrait is working for audio/video conferencing. Especially since of 15-11-2005 I'm using UMTS (!) on T-Mobile NL
Looking forward to your experiences.
Take care,
Guido
thanks guido.... how are you using umts on t-mobile ???
Is it possible to put back the original mda pro rom if something goes wrong... like a registry edit.... I don't really know how everything works and I don't want to destroy my new toy !!!
Reply / Exec ROM update / UMTS / Appz / Reg tweaks
Once you upgrade you go beyond the ** Point of no-return **
But sometimes you gotta take some risks in life to advance
Actually again I took the risk yesterday of trying out the XDA Exec ROM upgrade. And I must say; this one works pretty fine for me too. And right now I gained 22,35MB free RAM memeory, so I managed to get Skype 1.2 beta running!
Furthermore I'm test using the UMTS network of T-Mobile NL. I already clocked speeds up to 320 Kbps in the downstream; pretty neat Skype and Portrait work excellent on these new speeds.
And I've tested if the upgrade unlocked the device; but.... as I've expected: no....
For now I would suggest going for the O2 Exec upgrade, also since it has the 1.04.02 radio builtin. Things I like more about this upgrade:
- More FREE program memory (allowing skype 1.2 to run for example)
- Nicer SPLASH screen
- Seems to operate a bit faster
Once you installed the Exec ROM you can choose 'Install Type' under programs; this is where you select the Corporate Mode, and then give in the code 0506. (This wasn't really described clearly for me in the other posts). Then reset. Furthermore I deleted all other O2 stuff on the device (don't forget the shortcuts under Windows\StartUp). Actually I only left sddaemon in the startup group, giving me max of working RAM.
Thus, now running:
R 1.04.02
D 1.13.48
G 42.37.P8
installed appz:
- Skype 1.2 beta
- TomTom 5.1
- MS Portrait v2.3
- MS Voice Command v1.5
- Resco File Explorer
- Resco Registry Editor
- Magic Button
- Pocket Informant 2005
- Some small utils: 'Running Programs'/'Reset'/'CloseAll'/'TrayLaunch'
- Total Commander (only for vieweing Ext Rom)
and registry tweaks: (see my first post)
- GPS
- Fonts
- Bluetooth OBEX
- data connection always on
- soft buttons changed
- MS voice command for Bluetooth headset
- Glyph cache size
- Terminal Services cache size
- Homepage hardware button change
All works deliciously
cheers,
Guido
Reply / Exec ROM update
Hi,
I just took the risk to advance, however when upgrading to the XDA Exec ROM I got the message that (after doing the hardware inspectation):
ERROR 120: Country ID Error
The ROM image that you are trying to use is not designed to work on your device.....
I have an MDA Pro.
Anyone have useful ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I read this before in other posts. It seems that when you launch the updater the 2nd time, it doesn't produce the country error anymore
Hope this will be the same in your case!
And another important thing mentioned before; I used MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe (from the Jasjar file or Radio 1.04.02 file) to preform the upgrade. Just copy this file in the Exec directory and launch it; it will display another xda, but this is normal and will work fine for the universal
Good luck!
Cheers,
Guido
umts and simlock
Hi Guido,
thanks again for your cool posting every time! You keep us informed.
First off all pretty that the Simlock isn't removed after the update! I want to update too but first i want to remove my simlock. After that i will do an update and use my device just like i used mine Qtek 9090 before!
1 More question is about Tom Tom 5.1 when i try to install it i get an error is there an guide out there to install Tom Tom 5.1 on WM 5 ?
Ok thanks for now and keep us informed!
Surinamer!
Thanks guido.... I'll take the risk.... but how did you get the umts on your mda because the info I got said that umts on a t-mob network will be available from 2006
upgrade MDA Pro rom
Hi Guido,
Thanks for your useful info. The MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe did the job, my T-Mobile settings are gone now.
However I didn't had the time to do the XDA upgrade yet, but will do tonight.
Anyway thanks.

Will you go for the Exec or the Jasjar upgrade?
Concerning UMTS; I'm test using it on T-Mobile NL. Officially it will be launched in 2006. I'll keep you informed about the progress.
Video Calling isn't yet supported on the MDA, but the data connection is! Topping at 340 Kbps, which is pretty fast for a mobile device

Hi There,

Qtek 9000 error and upgrade to imate latest firmware?
Hi,
Have been reading through all of your responses. Very impressive.
Today i received my Qtek 9000.
It seems to be a wonderful phone and with the subscriptions vodafone has in sweden i get free calls and free downloads. Looked great.
Now to my problem.
I´ve put in all settings that vodafone provides for other ppc´s and it´s working on them.
It connects, dissapears, connects again.
And i get:
Cannot Connect:
Dialed: services.vodafone.net
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings. If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufacturer´s documentation and try again.
I´ve downloaded these 2 files:
JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301.exe
UNIVERSAL - JASJAR - Radio Version 1.04.02.rar
Will an upgrade remove my problem?
But my question is, i bought it at expansys, why buy qtek if i could have bought an iMate instead? I mean will i now rebrand it to be an imate?
Are there no software updates from qtek?
Since this one is brand new, should i return it and get an iMate instead?
I will also need to get the regfix for swedish keyboard, would be entirely greatful if it could be arranged.
Very first message from a brand new forum member!
Best regards,
Daniel Eriksson
Guido,
Is it possible for me to get acces to the umts from t-mobile.. Furthermore I'm thinking that I will install the exec rom on my mda pro. I'll receive my device tomorrow so I'll see. Do you think its a good purchase ??
Thanks

Hi,
I changed my MDA Pro to the Qtek-Rom and the Radio to the 1.04.10
If you do so, also the language will be changed (from German to English) and the Keyboard-Layout ((Quertz to Querty) which you can resolve with some registry-hacks).
My device is running more stable and has more memory (Qutek is without any branding)

is it possible to explain me execly what i have to do because i am not familiar whit this software changing
you would help me allot
cheers
Will be no problem to help you - but this way I need some details:
Which kind of keyboard do you have? QWERTZ or QWERTY (look at your keyboard ant the first 5 letters are important).
You've to download the following files:
UNI_Qtek_WWE_11364_151_10300_Ship.exe
MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
radio_1.4.10.zip
which all can be found at the ftp-server of the developers
ftp://[email protected]/Universal/
but you've to look in all folders (Roms + shipped Roms)
Make a new folder on your PC (maybe update)
Use WinRar to expand "UNI_Qtek_WWE_11364_151_10300_Ship.exe" to this folder
Copy "MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe" to "update"
Delete the radio.nbf in "update"
Expand "radio_1.4.10.zip" to "update"
REMOVE every card from your MDA (SD + SIM)!!!
Connect your MDA
Run "MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe"
if there is an error (mostly language...) run "MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe" again without changing everything!
After the update-prozess, you don't have to disturb the installation of the programs (it's only usefull stuff, no branding).
Change the key-respons from QWERTY to QWERTZ:
Use a registry-program like resco explorer with registry add-in and change the following key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty]
change: Layout from 66569 to 66567
You can also change the soft-keyboard, but I'll tell later because I've to go!
Good luck!!!
Teja
if you got
Now at home with MDA Pro:
Here is the link how to change the symols in the soft-keyboard:

Hello Teja,
The site you give here requires password.
I looked here:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Universal/
But can't find the mentionned files.
Other thing did you perform a backup of your original ROM? If yes how?
Thank you
No, I didn't perform a backup, and I think it isn't possible at the moment.
Here are the direct links. Hope they'll work:
ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]/Universal/MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]/Universal/ROMs/radio_1.4.10.zip
ftp://xdaupload:[email protected] ROMs/UNI_Qtek_WWE_11364_151_10300_Ship.exe
Maybe you should copy the whole links in your browser and it'll work. I use firefox 1.5 and I'm able to browse on the ftp-server...
Have a nice week and good luck!

Those links are working fine.

Sorry I made a mistake: I gave you the link for a old radio-update...
Here is the correct one (I also edited my post):
ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]/Universal/ROMs/radio_1.4.10.zip
If you've allready done the updates, you can make the radio-update without loosing any datas:
rename all *.nbf to *.old and copy the new radio-file in your update-folder. Run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe (maybe twice) again.
The MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe will only show the radio-update!
Just do it - after finishing, soft-reset your device (no hard-reset is necessary).
Enjoy the new update!

Hey,
I first felt into Boodloader-Modus, but it was my own fault. It took a long time to solve the problem, but it was very easy:
REMOVE ALL CARDS FROM YOUR DEVICE! SD + SIM!
My one was "Net-Locked" and I've never heard about problems with "Sim-Locked" (but I always was not interested in)...

Error while radio/complete update
Hi,
today i tried to update the radio on my mda pro:
- I removed the SD and the SIM card.
- I did a reset
- I started the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe 2 times
- the upgrade started but stayed on 0 % for 5 minutes
- then it stopped with an error and I still got the original version
I tried this 3 times and I even tried to do a complete update as it is suggested here and always got the same error message.
Can this be because of active sysnc, the virus scan program or the cable (although it is the original cable)? Do I need Active Sync for the upgrade or can I stop it somehow?
Hi,
it is suppost to close "Active Sync" (by Task-Manager) and to disable the firewall / antivirus, but I never had problems without doing so...
Is your MDA in BL-Modus when you want to update (blank screen) or is it still in "normal" modus?
Maybe you've the possibility to use an old computer/notebook without any programs running on?
Teja
Radio update problems
Hi again,
it is in blank screen mode - but if you look very closely (the backlight is off) the screen sys something like updating radio... please wait.
and what happens?
nothing happens - just an error after 5 minutes
I tried it with the bootloader mode afterwards and then it worked with the radio update. afterwards i tried the full update with bootloader screen - but it only worked the second time...
It's written in this topic that you've to run the update 2 times ==> so it works perfect! Congratulations!
Teja
Teja, thanks for your mini howto guide above. I am now installing the Qtek rom on my MDA Pro.
However you should realise that only germans use QWERTZ keyboard layout, the dude who started this topic is dutch, so am I, we use QWERTY. So the info on that part is somewhat useless.
But thanks again
Hi,
I noticed there is a update available for the MDA PRO on the dutch t-mobile site.
Has anybody tried it already?
Can you post a direct link to the update? Nevermind, got that: http://www.t-mobile.nl/zakelijk/htdocs/page/service/hardware_updates/mda_pro_update.aspx
The worst thing is that I attempted to upgrade my Dutch MDA PRO with I-mate rom yesterday and... now I have a brick. How UNOFORTUNATE, just couldn't wait 1 day!! Will go to a local T-Mobile shop today and try to play a fool (I don't really have to play, I am a fool!!!) and see what happens. Maybe they'll fix free of charge (I still have a warranty).
cheers
This should be the link:
http://www.t-mobile.nl/zakelijk/htdocs/page/service/hardware_updates/mda_pro_update.aspx
The site is in Dutch
includes:
- ms push mail
- msn messenger (new in nl rom :wink: )
- option to personalize icons on the today screen
- new comm manager
- the taskmanager has been included in the startmenu
its in english, has radio 1.10.03
and its alot faster then original tmob nl rom
Is it AKU2?
Is A2DP included? :roll:
On another forum i read that AKU2 is icluded and also A2DP.
Remote SIM access for Bluetooth carkit/headphone is also available
Bedankt voor de update !!! (Thanks for the update)
Does anybody know the differences/advantages/disadvantages between the 1.10.03 and 1.11 radio versions?
What's the influence on the battery life? Has it improved or is it worse than before?
I unlocked the phone first with the buzz program after that i upgraded it with the T-Mobile ROM. Now my mda is stuck at the boot screen after i updated it. anyone know what to do?
it shows:
R 1.11.00
G 42.45.P8
D 1.30.115WWE
With a t-mobile background.
see the following topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43592&highlight=stuck+bootloader
also try search next time
I have updated my phone from Qtek rom to this rom and it's working very nice. gonna test it this weekend, but all things are in this ROM.
1 thing i haven't seen in other roms is the softkey app. with this app you can select what the softkey must do (other then contacts and calender).
How about the battery icon on the top bar? Can we replace it with time?
Can someone please really confirm if it has A2DP and AKU2 working perfectly.
I have an XDA Exec. I tried extracting the files, but it seems this one have different files with it. Can we still use this using the No ID Tool?
Can someone upload it somewhere? It is moved from dutch site now
it is not moved...

Hmmm.
I hate T-Mobile Colors otherwise I would upgrade...
Hey is it possible to upgrade WM5 device emulator ?? then we copuld just test it and see what it looks like
Bartjan! can you post some screenshots ? I am interrested to see what the - option to personalize icons on the today screen looks like
Plus is at a decent task manager ??
Regards
Man, just change the theme. What's the problem? The default Windows Mobile theme is included.
I know but the Phone dialer theme is a problem, because if you change it to default in the registry then you loose the video call functionality
Is this rom in english?
I would like to upgrade my mda pro with this rom, it would appear it is english but can someone confirm this please?
As to my knowledge the MDA PRO ROM of the T-Moboile is WWE
But I have not upgraded yet so....

Contacts/tapping any contact/Menu/Save to SIM. The last item namely "Save to SIM" is not available (grey color, not black). Looks it's necessary to change a value somewhere in registry, but I did not manage to find what and where.
Does some1 face such problem? Or there is a solution the problem? Does this bug exists in beta8?
Thx in advance
[edit]
yes, "Save to SIM" is active and works.
hi Ivan

Hi! I used the beta 6 with pleasure ;-) But now i switched back to the qtek rom - i need a german ROM. I hope ther will be a german release.
Greetings Flo
did anybody try the *ARM*CAB? (BTP). I've downloaded it, the BT manager has changed but when I search for the Universal's services on my notebook, I get only the same 3 services az before...
I tried to flash de beta8 but i get country ID error 120... i read the readme file and it says:
Q14: I get “error 120: Country id error”, what should I do?
A: It may due to you get the wrong image. Please check your device’s device name and language type and download RUU package from the vender web site again and reset your device and then run RUU again.
Has anybody had this problem..I bought my device as qtek9000 via the official vendor of HTC pda's in Holland... I bought it through my girlfriends telecom company... it comes with WM5.0 UK...

A: It may due to you get the wrong image. Please check your device’s device name and language type and download RUU package from the vender web site again and reset your device and then run RUU again.
Has anybody had this problem..I bought my device as qtek9000 via the official vendor of HTC pda's in Holland... I bought it through my girlfriends telecom company... it comes with WM5.0 UK...

Yes, thanks to This thread.
Worth noting again, that first time around under Vista did not work, I had to dig out an XP based PC to re-flash the original T-Mobile UK WM5 ROM. I then ran the procedure a second time under XP and it worked. The OS may or may not have been the factor, first time round might have been something else. XP was required to restore the original ROM.
The update to WM6 was well worth it in my mind even if purely for the instantly noticeable speed increase of the software.
thanks gajet - i'm gettign more and more tempted. one more thing - where could i get hold of the original t-mob uk rom - just for safety.
cheers
si
if its anything like finding a WM5 tmobile NL rom i'll wish you good luck. couldn't find one after bricking my own MDA CIII trying to upgrade it to WM6.
if you brick it your only choice is to wait until the official WM6 release from tmobile UK or send it back to them for repair
hi fout
well looking at gajet's post it seems there is a uk rom out there in the wild - just wondering where i might find it....
si
I actually found you the link in the main WM6 WWE topic, it links directly to the file on rapidshare.
here you go: http://rapidshare.com/files/17854890/art_tmouk_11311001_024990_wwe_ship.exe
and good luck upgrading your device, can't wait until mine gets back
thx fout - i thought i'd seen it somewhere - you found it - cheers!
si
ok guys - i did it! worked first time - heart in mouth for 15 mins but well worth it. got all my apps working no problem and remembered to write down the t-mobile gprs settings for once!
one other benefit for uk t-mob. on web&walk standard you can't use your phone as a modem - but with this setup you can fabulous!
cheers
si
Installed it today on my MDA3c T-Mobile
But where can I configure the SMS messaging center # (+447958879879) ???
solved
from another thread (Hermes WM6) :
start>phone>menu(softkey)>options>services(tab). Select "Voicemail and Text Messages" then tap "get settings".
Hiya, that rom you posted, what rom is that? Is it an official t-mob one or is it converted from somone else? Thanks
Oh, and how does it work on the UK MDA with its missing wifi?

hi danny
it works fine with the lack of wifi - just doesn't have a button in comms manager as before. the rom we're talking about in this thread is the official t-mob uk wm5 (five) rom - which is good to have in case the update goes wrong.
i'm using bepe's rom on my mda c iii and it's tons better than the original. just make sure you read the threads first for instructions.
good luck.
si
thanks, which wm6 rom do you recommend?
If anybody interested in my few hours expirience with MDA C III UK + WM6 here it is:
Device: MDA Compact III UK original ROM,
Unlocked before wth IMEI Check
First I used the USPL as advised by Pof here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311479
It didn't work first time. I had errors 260 and 270. I repeated the process and it went OK after second time. Then I flashed with the B&W V2 rom. It seemed to end OK.
Notes: Before the play I used latest SPB Backup and made full backup in FlightMode. First thing I did after waking the device in WM6 was restore from it. The process went OK. After restart I got tens of notifications about installing untrusted or something DLLs and EXEcs. After that it hanged and didn't even wanted to wake up anymore.
So - hard reset -> partial restore -> PIM data only and it worked.
Excel and Word are buggy in terms of file handling. You can forget about them for now or use only as readers.
Comm Manager was working only up to the first reset. Then all buttons are hiden under the last one in upper-left corner. You can actualy see them rendering one after another.
GPS checked using iGo 2006 - working fine.
Conclusion:
I'm going to check how it synchronises with Missing Sync on my Mac. The latest version sould work with WM6. If it works I think I'm gonna stay with it longer. Word & Excel is not used by me often enough to stop me trying this Rom. Comm Manager - though, can try to live without it.
I have just flashed with the black and blue rom and all is well apart from the comm manager, yup, all one big mess in the top left. think its something to do with wifi, it was fine on the first boot, it showed the wifi icon but now its reset its gone all funky.
Hi all - sorry about this, but I'm new to this. Got an Orange M700 - still running the original Orange branded WM5 OS: yup, Orange have mangled it. I've been reading the (many...many...many) threads and the wiki and... well I think I'm more confused than ever.
So, just wondering if someone can advise me on the best route to upgrade, and bear in mind I'm a graphics guy....
So, briefly
from the Orange WM5, is there a straight one-step upgrade to WM6?
What .cabs/versions should I be looking for? -> I know there are many you guys have tuned. I guess I'm looking for a fairly standard one? Unless you think otherwise!
Are there any major caveats (other than warranty/support invalidation)?
Need a little hand-holding...
Thanks in advance.
Hi, welcome..
I have M700 too, took the plunge a while back and loaded one of Mun's ROM's.
All I did was install activsync onto my pc and hook up the phone for the first time, once that ran its course I unplugged the phone powered down and removed the sim & sd card and then powered back up again.
Once up n running I plugged it back into the pc and ran the rom I had chosen, yes I was worried it might go wrong but I have to say it was and is very simple n straight forward. There is a WM5 Orange backup rom on here so if you ever did need to send back then you can flash this back onto the phone so it "looks" normal, tbh I'd doubt it would come to that.
I was using XP-SP2 at the time, not sure of anything different for Vista but that's where others here will put you straight, since then I have altered rom many a time and finally settled for Tom's Black'n'Blue - nice and fast and room to add what I want to add rather than be given. Oh and also update the radio rom to the latest version too, pretty much the same method.
Have a look at the roms and decide what you want Happy modding...
Only "gotcha" try and flash from XP, it is rumored to be problematic on a vista PC.
Also be warned flashing ROMs can be addictive, think i have tried 8 or 9 on my Trinity to find one i like, have yet to try the MUN one suggested in the previous post, looks like it will be next.
Ah, twas an early Mun rom and was WM5 - like I said the very first rom I'd flashed so I wouldn't flash to that now
Also realised why i hadn't tried it, i have tried several 6.1 ROMs and none of the WM6 ones. Probably will now i think about it though.
spv m700
Just joined the forum, thought I'd say hi.
I've just bought an spv m700 (following 2 years of the great spv m600), mainly because I wanted inbuilt gps.
The previous owner flashed it with Windows Mobile 6.1, I've yet to really test it.
First of all, I'm going to re-install all my Spb software (spb time, spb backup, spb mobile shell, etc) and transfer contacts etc via active sync.
If anyone has any advice or tips n tricks that you feel may benefit me, I'm all ears.
Cheers,
Matt.

First of all, welcome!
You have to know that the key to knowledge is searching, reading, and if none of those work, asking through posting!
So, happy enlightment and enjoy your device!
OK Monkeybox - hold out your hand - here's mine.
First thing - choose a ROM (sorry, you'll need to make your own choices). Judging by what you have said a LITE ROM would suit your needs.
I have tried most trinity ROMS. I like ADW's ROMs, am currently on Akeo's ROM but have tried LVSW, mUn, black and blue, PDAVIET, FInixNOver, ervius etc etc etc (Sorry if I've tried and forgotten your ROM!). Once you have your ROM, you should unlock the phone
1. (Hard-SPL - Service Providor Lock). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299659 This will enable you to flash a ROM with different carrier ID to you SPV M700. OK - Once you have hard-spl'd your phone, find the RUU (Rom Update Utility) exe file within the ROm that you downloaded.
2. Connect your phone (windows XP is best) using activesync and when activesync is connected, run the RUU Updater. The phone will switch off and go into "bootloader" (coloured bars on screen). If you get a connection error here, just run the RUU updater again. this time things should get going. When finished - your new ROM is installed - no more Orange!
3. Next update the Radio - search xda-developers.com using google for Trinity Radio - and choose 1.46 or 1.5x.
4. Install missing software (generally you'll need a GPS navigation software at least).
5. Enjoy.
6. If you like a ROM - donate to the cooker
7. Get a flashing addiction
8. Read all of the Kitchen threads
9. Cook your own ROM
10. Share it with us
11. Be eternally happy

Thank you, and all others who have responded, for your greatly appreciated advice! I've been trying to get my head around the process. Have backed up using PIM backup and settings saviour... and with your hand holding, am about to dive into the world of modding!
It's a little daunting for a newbie (and I really do mean a newbie!), but with everyones help, and this fantastic community as a resource, bah, watch me fly! (I'll probably be back tomorrow asking how I can de-brick the phone ;O) )
Thanks again all.
Cool. Upgraded to WM6.1 - Akeos latest black one.
Have to say the functionallity is 10 times better already. Upgraded to the latest radio too.
HOWEVER... and this is where the newbie kicks in, I can't seem to start any data sessions. IN COmm manager I don't have the option to turn the data connection on (this was also the same prior to the radio upgrade)
Don't suppose anyone knows how to resolve this do they?
As I say, taking my first steps on the modding ladder, and it appears I may have slipped...

You have to define your data connection from "Start, Settings, Connections, Connections, My ISP, Add new" according to your carrier (ie GPRS, 3G). Same goes to configuring MMS, just that you do it at "Start, Settings, Connections, Connections, My Work Connection" and you also have to define it in Arcsoft MMS.
You will not be able to start them from the CommManager as they connect on demand as needed, but you can STOP the in the CommManager when they are connected since they don't disconnect automatically.

Once more, thanks to all who've helped me over the threshold - the data connection must have been an issue with the signal, as this morning it was happy to connect to mms/internet via 3G/GPRS and HSDPA (which I didn't even know Orange supported).
Cheers all. Your help has been absolutely spot-on. It's refreshing to come to a community where you not only happy to help newbies, without the usual sarcasm or pomposity you find elsewhere, but you do so in a clear and concise way that really does help.
Thanks all. Look what you've gone and started now... !!!
One happy newbie stepping out into a brave new world...
---edit---
please delete this post
have fun with your spv
I have a problem, and the more I search the forums, the more I worry it may be due to an upgraded Rom.
The original owner of the spv m700 I just bought has by the looks of it debranded it and installed WM 6.1:
Device name: HTC_P3600i
Model NO: TRIN100
Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional
ROM version 3.03.751.5
ROM Date: 04/01/08
Radio Version: 1.16.00.00
Protocol Version: 32.53.7018.01H
With Tomtom 6 installed and seemingly working, the GPS receiver is not being detected. I have done what the forums say, i.e. selected "NMEA GPC receiver", get a screen with:
COM3: GPS in COM9
COM7: RIL on COM6:
S2410 IRDA
I have clicked on the first option (COM 9 is recommended), but still no GPS device found, indoors or out, after 10 minutes of trying
Like I say, much info says the above should solve it, but others say an upgrade can knock out the GPS and it needs to have a different ROM reinstalled. Never done this before, and there may be an easier solution?
Help anyone.... please.......?!
I'm not 100% sure but I think your radio rom needs upgrading to support GPS - I'm sure the one's that do have 11 at the end of them..
Really?? It would be great to finally reach a soultion!
Can someone verify if this is true and if so, what do I have to do??
Thanks.
Hi Monkey Boy and all.
I think I'm in a similar situation that you were...
The original owner of my new spv m700 debranded it, unlocked it (by flashing an old radio ROM) installed WM 6.1. I now fear that the reason tomtom detests no GPS device is because the radio may need updating too... (see below for the spec on my phone at the moment).
Have you discovered which is the best radio to update to?
Device name: HTC_P3600i
Model NO: TRIN100
Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional
ROM version 3.03.751.5
ROM Date: 04/01/08
Radio Version: 1.16.00.00
Protocol Version: 32.53.7018.01H
All advice and recommendations welcomed. I have never flashed anthing before so this is all new to me, but I like to think I learn fast...
Thanks,
Matt

Original owner would have done this to unlock it, so all you have to do is search for the latest radio rom and flash that to your phone - there are guides how to do this in here..

Hey Trixter.
Thanks for the reply.
I managed to get in touch with the original owner and he sent me a link to an an .exe file which I downloaded, ran whilst activesynced to my phone, and voila! I now have radio ROM 1.50.08.11. Tomtom 6.03 now successfully works using settings "other NMEA GPS receiver" with "GPS baud rate 115200" and "GPS in Com9"!
I'm a novice and bought the phone as a "pimped up" spv m700. But I'm learning loads since joining thanks to people like your good self answering posts, so thanks.
Matt
Thanks to seeing your signature I'm sorted! If you read anyone else with the same problem, I hope my experience helps them.
Thanks again for your time,
Matt.
