Sjeesh man, life is too short to be vague. :| What is it you wish to accomplish?
(Since you posted in 'Unlocking it', it may well be that you wish to use this phone on some other provider than the one that is providing you with the phone, and that you suspect that the phone has a SIMlock set....)

i've got an MDA Vario II and just updated it to the original WM6 ROM which was available from T-Mobile, but I am very disappointed - in some things:
- The Power Consumption has increased
- Some Programs are even not in this ROM like the "Notes" Application and the Calculator
- The Performance is not as good as under WM5
- The WMP cannot play MP4 Files
...There are some more issues but I don't want to list them all, because this is not my core question
What I want to know is if it is possible to install the O2 Rom or if you can recommend me another ROM, it is no problem if it is in english, it just should be having all the WM Standard Programs and it should have more performance.
Can I get the original HTC ROM somewhere ?
Ok. I decided to write a short tutorial (because it is very very SIMPLE!!! ), how to upgrade any of the ROMs to any of Universal (jasjar, exec, qtek...), because I found 70% of the Universal upgrading etc forum posts are something like: "I can't upgrdae...", "I get an error message..." "coutry ID error..", etc.
1. Download the ROM you want to install
2. Best way to use winRAR to unpack it to a folder
3. There are 3 ROMs in the package: ms_.nbf (ExtendedROM), nk.nbf (CE ROM), radio_.nbf (Radio ROM)
4. Select those (from between this 3 ROMs) which you don't want to install
5. Delete these
6. Copy to the folder my attached file (MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe). This is the file which makes the install workable for all models of Universal.
7. Make your Universal in bootloader mode. (Push Light button + Power button + resetbutton at the same time) A lot of people get error message at the first time if they were not in bootloader mode. Those people can install the ROM the second time. If you are in bootloader mode you won't get error message.
8. Doubleclick to MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe. A window come up with the old ROMs and the new ROMs which will be upgraded. When this windows comes up, it is very important to wait a few seconds (5sec is enough) before you push the upgrade button.
9. Upgrade.
10. Wait until the installation program says in a window: Congratulations. Push OK button.
11. Pull out the USB cable from the Universal.
12. Do a cold reset (push the two menu buttons ("-") on the keyboard + the reset button at the same time (all of this three)
13. Everything should be fine from this time. You have to calibrate the screen and do some tutorial...
(14. If you want your Universal not to install ExtendedROM, make a softreset after setup is complete. (a popup window pops up you have 3 seconds before it installs ExtendedROM))
That's it.
It woked for me anytime in any case with any of Universals.
I hope this will help for lots of people.
Cheers
Cool! 8)
This way I see it is that there are many people out there with these (and many other) basic questions that want answering and indeed the same questions keep cropping up. A post like this is great BUT it's visibility only lasts a couple of days untill it gets swamped by more recent threads - I don't see the mod's stickying anything!!!!!
Hence: this forum could be SO much better if each section had a GUIDES area where people can submit threads like this!

I'm totally agree!
HEY MODERATORS!
underwurlde, I have an alternative suggestion. If moderators don't push this to a special place, we have to write here something like "..." twice a day. :lol: :wink:
Why don't you put it in this forum's wiki resource? I'm sure a lot of users would be very grateful for this information!

Okay. It seems you did not read my first post.
To put your Universal into bootloader mode, read 7th point.
And how do you know you are in bootloader mode?
You can see just a blank screen with the title serial or USB on the top and something like v1.00 on the bottom. You will recognize it.
I hope :?

Ever watch??? This is one of my favorite films. But I cannot draw any parallel between this film and your post, but I'm sure it is because I'm hungarian and my english is something that your german So, sleng is standing above my english knowledge.
I just posted some instructions on Wiki - I hope they help
Per the suggestion, I just posted some instructions on Wiki. Take a look an see what you think. Hopefully more can be added and these can be refined to be more understandable. At least it's a start.
Here is the Wiki Universal page http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
This is the three I added, under How to upgrade to the latest ROM (currently 1.30.68)
Detailed Instruction On How To Upgrade with Bootloader method http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...tion On How To Upgrade with Bootloader method
Instructions for those stuck on Boot Screen http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Instructions for those stuck on Boot Screen
Instructions for those with Country Code error http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Instructions for those with Country Code error
Cool!
olliesshop, if you want you can use my tutorial to add more things to the wiki site. I think mixing of your and mine tutorial would be enough for the most helpless people too. I missed from mine removeing SD and SIM card, and not to use USB hub.
I hope, one day people will understand this very very "sofisticated" method.
To Deiota It looks like when you are in bootloader mode without things in the center. (But there are when you completed the upgrade.)
Hello!
Thanks you all for your help!
I've already did the upgrade! But I have a "stupid" (maybe) question.
When I was upgrading my Qtek 9000 with JASJAR_WWE_13076_164_10900_wwe_ship.exe, it appeard a photo of a I-mate PDA, but not Jasjar. Is it OK? Is this ROM for my Qtek 9000 (or Jasjar)?
I realized that the package software that comes with I-mate is best, at least more complete then Qtek! Another thing, why or how is it possible that the same device, comes with WM5 (both) and some features included in I-mate and not in Qtek. I'm talking about the "Device unlocked" that happears in the Today Screen.
I just want to confirm that this ROM is right for me, and that It is best than my Qtek Original one!
Should be ok
From what I understand this imate ROM upgrade should work for all the HTC Universal phones, including; Universal Dopod 900 / Qtek 9000 / MDA Pro / I-mate JASJAR / O2 Xda Exec / SPV M5000 / Qtek v1640. What's amusing is when I did the upgrade to my imate Jasjar it got locked on the blue splash screen (the one with the imate logo) and now I had to ship it in for Warranty service ... time since failure 5 days and counting. I expect it back end of next week at the earliest.
I'm glad it worked for you !!!

All the models have just different names but totally the same hardware (with just different paintings) because there are different service providers who want to sell it. Each service provider has a fantasy-name like O2 service provider sells it as Exec, Qtek sells it as 9000, i-mate sells it as Jasjar...
Clear?
off topic, sorry
Yo!
@Tuningszocske,
yeah there is a scene in Shawshank where Andy is trying to get money to build a library so he asks the Governor if he can write a letter - to which he agrees 'write as many as you want':
So he does: One a day. Every day. Unitl he actually gets a response, which effectively says: 'Here's $200, now go away' - So he writes TWO letters every day!!!!! Guess what? He eventually gets what he wants. :lol: This is the parallel I was making re: continually 'bumping' this thread.
The squeaky wheel always gets the grease!
Andy
Not really!
well, first I want to be sure that the Rom JASJAR_WWE_13076_164_10900_wwe_ship.exe is the right for me, since the screen that appear while upgrading has a I-mate K-Jam or something!
Second, I understand that the Software that come with one can be different from another, has it happens here!
But the MAIN Windows Mobile 5, I don't understand how...
The main thing I noticed is the "device unlocked" on today screen...
My usband has a Mio A210 that has WM5 and has the same Today item, "device unlocked". My question is why the Wtek version of Rom doesn't have uit? New version of WM5? Old one? Just different?

Take a look http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal . I updated the "Detailed Instruction On How To Upgrade with Bootloader method" instructions, by merging both. Also, your instructions are shown "as written" in the "Instructions for those with Country Code error". I hope this helps folks.

Deiota!
For your first question: YES IT IS A RIGHT ROM FOR YOUR DEVICE. JUST COME FROM ANOTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS. DON'T BE AFRAID YOU WON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH IT!
For second: yes, it might be that your husband has a different version of wm5. It is something like there are many types of laptops, and there are many types of windows, and you can choose which windows you install on which laptop, but you cannot install windows on a macintosh (apple) hardware or a TabletPC, which is something similar than a normal laptop, but with a few specialities. Qtek9000/O2Exec/i-mate Jasjar... has the same hadrware like a Dell/Toshiba/HP laptops with totally the same hardware inside (same RAM size, same videocard type and capacity, same harddisk...)
So, do it.
I wouldn't injure you not for the soul of me, but if after these tutorial you don't understand the procedure, you should ask somebody to do it before you make an irreversible error during upgrading!!!! IT IS DANGEROUS,YOU CAN MAKE YOUR DEVICE TOTALLY UNUSEABLE!
If i install onto my exec Helmi WM6 v.1.1
will i still HAVE all of o2s random tripe like the tinterweb settings and such like... im just a lil worried that it wont work and ill have a nice expensive brick and i really dont like the thought of that
EDIT
can i install WM6 then just update with the damn O2 rom from their site??? or is it not compatable???
-DTM
There's nothing stopping you from flashing any ROM you like onto your device, and putting the O2 GPRS/MMS settings onto it.
There are enough links on the site with the O2 settings cab file if you search.
You will not be getting the O2 Active either, but again, this is something you can search for yourself and add to it.
I suggest you read the wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/ and this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=269118 (which really should be a sticky hint hint mods) before you do anything, as it sounds like you need to understand the difference between a ROM, and an Extended ROM.
I cannot beleive it was that easy,, i just needed to extract 2 files.... stoopid me lol.. TY Very much Alan
-DTM
Whoops spoke too soon...... the dreaded thing has happened
not really its working so crisp and clean upgraged and totally workin in 30 mins,, not bad
one little ammendmant tho the phone keypad is well not there,, the buttons all work and it makes calls but i would like to be able to see things on the screen,, no biggie tho but if anyone can help let me kno

Never mind,, had a quick rummage around and fixed t with trusty Resco RegEdit,, muhahaha,, WM6 is the best

Hey guys,
I think we have now have finger flo on the hermes and trinity!!!
a friend of mine has sent me a modified touch.dll which works with finger flow, he has modified it for the trinity and hermes but cannot create a cab.
he is using a wizard and here is a video of it working, but he also has it working on trinity:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=NGRGZzIHm...elated&search=
the modified touch.dll is attached, could someone look into creating a CAB as i am not to hot at doing this yet!!!
I really hope this is the answer to the touch flo thing!!
TouchFlo on 8525
Do you think this will work on my Cingular 8525?
Thanks
Hmmm...added the touch.dll to jj's and bepe's alpha cab and it doesn't work I'm afraid to say - it disabled the touch screen completely...I may have done something wrong but the fact that the touch screen stopped working suggested that the original touch.dll was overwritten by this one..
Smiffy...
yep, touch screen is deactivated completely now...lol and i stupid forgot to backup the original touch.dll.......
anyone got a backup?

Did you SR after applying the new DLL?
Yes I did do a SR
The original touch.dll is in ROM so if you can use the keyboard and buttons to get rid of the new one (I managed to navigate to add\remove and uninstall my cab) the old one will re-appear and start working again no HR needed
Smiffy.
btw it somehow changed my htc home plugin...from 4 buttons to 3......lol

not sure how that happened unless you used a different version of the touchflo software cab - i used the alpha one and it left my 6-button HTC home intact...

that alpha thingy from jj and bepe
Dang. Got my hopes up to have them shot down. Hopefully someone can get this working because I have no idea how to. What did your friend do to modify the DLL?
Hey guys, i am no programmer, i have a friend who has got this working on the trinity with this dll, that is all i know!!!
i was hoping someone could look at it as i have no clue, all i do know is that it works on the trinity, and if it does it WILL work on the hermes!!
ill try and get afew clever people to look at the thread!!!

the wizard touchdll isnt compatible with the Hermes touch screen different hardware.. already tried
So, more of the same, which is nothing. I for one am not really waiting for it. I don't think its worth it.
Though it is funny to see threads like "TouchFLO working finally" and in it, some people got ButtonFLO working...kinda...sometimes.
And now "Touch Flow working with Fingers" and it doesn't.
Next will be "Really, its working now!" and yet it won't.
Thanks for the unintentional comedy...
The key thing here is that if you cook a rom with the touch.dll rom included, does the digitizer work once FWUPDATE runs? (screen cal). As we've seen so far with other dll's, when one is cooked in, it won't pass the second splash screen (IPL/SPL view).
If it will pass this test - then it is almost certain to work - assuming the edits to it won't affect any other applications that will need to hook it.
I can't play until tomorrow, but i'd be curious if anyone tries to cook it in.

I don't think it was sarcasm - just pointing out the facts.
I would suggest that nobody *cough* bennec83 *cough* raises any more "TouchFLO is working..." threads until, well, touchflo is working
And I'm not being sarcastic either. Tongue-in-cheek maybe

The guy who gave me this dll has it working on trinity, he in fact was the fisrt person to get it working well and release it into A ROM of any kind, i think it was Wizard (or trinity cant remember), he told me that this is the dll he used, he cooked it into a ROM AND he has it working, He has released the ROM but it is in full italian.
but he is Italian, it is very hard for my to communicate with him as i am having to learn italian at the same time!!!
From what i gathered from conversation, is the following:
1) He modified this for Trinity/hermes
2) he cooked it into an italian ROM and it worked
3) he cannot create a CAB for it
4) he asked me if i could get it tested over here, so i have.
also it aint like i have been posting daily about this touch flo thing, but if someone PM's me and tells me that this is the answer to everything, which it possible could be as it works for trinity, i thought id take some time out from celibrating my brithday and post it for everyone to get into.
I dont believe him to be a liar, i asked him to work on this AGES ago, and he last night posted this to my via PM.
I dnt get wat the big deal is, you lot need to stop having a go, I AM NO PROGRAMMER, but i can network with people, i had this new dll before anyone else and im getting **** for putting it into the public eye for the clever computer people to test and to see if we can help get this working, kinda a colaboration between us and my Italian friend!!
There is no point in him posting here, he speaks no english!!!
If this is the kind of childish response i get from supposed adults about a new file, i dont know what im supposed to do when someone sends me a file that i can do nothing with.
Maybe next time i souldnt bother releasing anything on this site, kitchens, instruction manuals, new files that no-one else managed to get, because everyone is so ungreatful, you know if i had time so sit at my computer all day and learn to cade, i would fix this thing myself, or atleast try.
Hello all,
Whilst I know a fair bit about computers I've become lose in all the talk about what goes on what. I've kind of picked up that "cooking" your rom is abit like upgrading your bios?
Anywhooo just ordered my xda orbit and I cant really work out what should go on there when i get it. I have seen a touch flo mod - HTC touch style interface, can anyone point me in the correct direction?
obviously wm6 comes from the o2 website, I was considering getting one of those HTC remotes - would you recommend this? If so I read somewhere that another mod is neeeded to make the buttons work with the orbit?! I've tried searching but I tend to end up in heated discussions with part developed apps.
What else would you recommend? I've noted the GPS tracking software...
Has there been a new tomtom released for wm6?
Thank you in advance,
JC
