1.40 ROM for XDAIIs

Does anybody have a copy that I can have which involves not messing with and that I can flash to my XDAIIs with no country error and no o2 stuff on it so it looks like the i-mate :?:

erm...................no
1.read the wiki
2.read the wiki
3.read the wiki
if above dosnt work try contacting your doctor about your brain......

lol, yeah, please read the wiki, you cannot go wrong, just follow the simple instructions, dont worry, you WILL be fine, if you get a country error then dont worry about that either, just keep trying, 8)

Dude do what this say's.
I've just done it: UK XDA IIs, on Orange network, running i-mate 1.40 ROM.

Slightly going OT...
I am quite keen to do the upgrade from my standard O2 XDA2s 1.31.00 WWE ROM, but I am a little unsure on what 1.40 ROM to download from WIKI. I think I need:
i-mate 1.40.176
I know my device is a Blue Angel, Rom as above, extended ROM as 1.31.139 WWE
Can anyone confirm the correct download please?
Also, has anyone had any problems installing on XDA's the same as mine?
I have read the install tutorial, but would like to get an idea of if I am going to run into problems.
Oh, one more thing... What advantage does ROM 1.40 have over my existing ROM apart from bug fixes (oh please! daily lockups!!!)?
Many, many thanks.

O2 XDAIIs Upgrade
I used the i-mate 1.40.176 upgrade for my O2 XDAIIs. All in all its pretty stable, with only the Bluetooth stability (memory issues and BT Manager & Settings "disappearing") as the main issue. Much better than the O2 1.31 ROM (will they ever get that 1.40 update out...!?) You will need to use the "MAUpgrade" rather than "BAUpgrade" utility, as the 1.40.176 ROM was built for the i-mate rather than the xda2s.
One problem I did have with this ROM at the start, was that GPRS would not stay connected. This seems to be a sporadic problem among those that upgrade, but if you experience it after upgrading to this ROM, you can correct the problem by replacing the "CallerID" cab in the extended ROM with the older version (1.17) This version of the file is available on wiki also. This will involved unhiding and unlocking the Extended ROM and replacing the file. Look at the wiki instructions under Blue Angel for "Cooking Your First Extended ROM" That said, you may not experience this problem, so upgrade the ROM first and see how it goes.
All in all a much better ROM. I am trying the new O2 Asia WWE ROM with a modified extended ROM and this is also pretty good. Slighty better Wi Fi switch on and off in my opinion. This one is on wiki also, but you will probably need to "cook" the extended ROM here a bit more than the 1.40.176 version.
Hope this helps

Anybody tried the imate 1.40 rom on O2 XDA IIs purchased from Singapore?
I am facing problems to using any 'Today Plug-ins' like IP Dashboard, O2 Plus beta, Lexisgoo English dictionary etc. The problem is after say 30 minutes or after more, my keyboard input will only be selectable, cannot select CE-Star chinese keyboard or Intellipad.
What do I have on my O2 XDA IIs?
1. CE-Star
2. Intellipad and Intellidialler
3. Lexisgoo English dictionary
4. SKTools
5. Sprite backup standard
6. Cal89A calculator
7. MDict 1.21
and many more.
Please help anyone.
Thanks.

my exerience with this device and all the ROMS has been that the fewer Today plugins you have the better. SPB Pocket Plus V2.5 caused a lot of lock ups. Not sure about new version 3.0 Seems multiple Today plug ins cause conflicts. Hard to pinpoint all the interactions and what affects what... Not much help I am afraid :-[ I would just try to keep them to a minimum.
Regards
chris

You said it man!
I'm down to zero 'Today Plug-ins' now and it seems to keep my IIs from needing to 'soft reset'.
Any others from Singapore who had used the Imate 1.40 rom?

Two major problems that I am facing with 1.40 ROM include:
1. wifi can't be connected after disconnecting GPRS.
2. bluetooth problem (memory error) or storage card disappear after disconnecting BT.
Anybody experience these?
Cheers,

I had used the Imate rom before but, there has been many casses of terrible lag. When i updated to 1.40 and radio to 1.13 wooo... just very very fast...

Installing the latest Pocketplus with my 1.40 ROM makes my device hard-reset itself.
I need a way of getting IE to be able to save pictures. Anyone know of an alternative way to do this?

I have no problem with pocketplus 3.0.
Which version you are using?

1.40 ROM has serius today screen problems with me too (That's why I still use 1.31).

I have no problem with pocketplus 3.0.
Which version you are using?

My ROM configuration is in my sig.
The SPB pocketplus version is: v3.0.0.3652
I really want the mods it offers. (particularly 'save picture as' in IE).

Goodlink on WM6

So, I am about to make the plunge into WM6, and am trying to select a "flavor" ... for lack of a better term. Choosing between the following:
WMVI - Black Edition 1.2 (when it gets released)
WMXL v0.30 (when it gets released)
LVSW Edition (next version to come out)
Anyone out there using any of these (either the beta versions, or the prior versions already on this site) successfully with Goodlink? It looks like WMXL should work with Goodlink from what I am reading, but any input from folks using Goodlink and WM6 would be appreciated (i.e., which flavor of WM6 works best in terms of goodlink integration .. and any special tweaks/hacks etc. you need to do to get goodlink up and running).
Thanks.

No real tweaks or hacks necessary here (except for getting rid of the 'required' password) using WMXL .20 (or .10 for that matter). I haven't tried any of the other flavors, but conceptually there shouldn't be a difference as far as GoodLink is concerned.
I have been having a periodic problem that I think is on the server-side (but still worth mentioning) - for the last two Thursdays Goodlink just stopped working after my flight home. No connection, nothing. In both instances I had to be re-provisioned on the server - no other solutions worked, including uninstalling/re-installing goodlink from both a backup and without a backup, re-flashing with every ROM imaginable (including the shipped Cingular ROM), etc.

I believe that Goodlink will only work on WMXL because the software checks the CE version and WMXL is the only one that has been hex'd changed to be compatible. Same goes for BBConnect and BCM.
S.K.

Per a recent post on the thread re WMVI - Black Edition .. jasjamming confirmed that version 1.2 will be set up to work with goodlink too.

Goodllink on LVSW
Goodlink works like a charm on LVSW version.
Note that it will not install due to the versioncheck: make a backup on your memorycard (using good backup), upgrade to LVSW (in my case) and then restore your backup from the card. Besides all the user/pass/code stuff you also get to skip the OTA download
Sync it - and your all set.
Hope of use.

Works on all of them. Just make a GL backup before upgrading (on WM5), and restore after the WM6 upgrade. Will not complain about the wrong OS version

Goodlink & WM6 Word Completion
I have a question for those of you that have Goodlink installed on WM6. When I'm typing in goodlink it still offers the dropdown with word completion, but for each letter I type, it basically starts all over again as if the additional letters were starting a new word: Ex. T recommends test, this, the, but if I add the h, it advises have, hardly, happen.
On SMS messages the word completion is working correctly.
Is this specific to WM6 and affecting others or is something else causing the problem on my phone? (I didn't test it before I installed other apps.
Rob
Cingular 8525 with WM6 Black Edition 1.2.

Interesting ... just tested on my 8525, and I have the same problem (had not even noticed). Hmm. Will have to play around to see if I can fix this one.

It's at least good to know that it isn't just me. Thanks for looking into it. Let me know what you find.

Stable WM6 with Japanese Support

Ok so off recent reading it seems that many people that have followed the steps in "Make your X01HT a WM6 Device (for Gaijins)" have unstable devices. Please complete this poll, and if you have a stable (one or less crash a week) please tell us how. It seem that many people here are Stuggling to get a stable WM6 that supports Japanese.
My Black Majik ROM and every other ROM before it crashes 4 or more times a day!

to stop crashing cook in Japanese support??
look at this (from Make youe x01ht a wm6 device) from my last post there.
I wish somebody could figure this out. Anyway, at the moment, the cooked lvsw with built in Japanese support works best. Although it is a little slow. It has not crashed for 2 days solid -- no matter how much I have thrashed it. Every single other English rom crashes.
Therefore, it is possible to make a stable wm6 with Japanese support -- just how!
-----------------
Yep I installed the Japanese input enabled version of LVSW. Some things I noticed were that it was modified to install the Japanese stuff (including character input, mslite, fonts, x02ht setting for softbank Japan, etc) following flashing, i.e installed these setting automactially from the extended rom. Now, I am wondering why the thing is so stable. It has not crashed ONCE in the 24 hours I have been trying to crash it.
Funny because every single other English WM6 rom, including the same version of the LVSW rom I have installed have all had terrible problems with random crashing etc; the only difference being that I followed instructions from the beginning of this thread to install the Japanese.
My question: how do we set up English roms so that they automatically install Japanese stuff (including x01ht settings for Japan) from extended rom following flashing?
Very strange that doing it this was could make it so stable. Unless of course, there are newer/more stable versions of a lot of the software links that appear in the original thread?
Ideas please! Would like to solve this enigma.

tora201, where do you download the Japanese input enabled version of LVSW ? I'm really tired of frequent crash and would like to have a really stable ROM.

See #89 onwards of "make your x01ht a wm6 a wm6 device"
And, yeah, it is extremely stable. I have installed the HTC home plugin thing as well as the new touch dialer, etc. No problems at all! Cheers mate.

I use LVSW 3.30.3 English ROM with LetsJapan and JapaneseIME (both by Asukal) installed...
Generally, phone seems stable, but then after switching to any of Japanese IMEs (Tegaki, Romaji...) trouble starts... Worst problem is that sometimes SMS and MMS freezes the phone, for example, on message reception. It is even worse by the fact the incoming message is then lost forever!
For some people, switching to Japanese input everyday is essential, and of course, messaging too... these two things seems to clash on all ROMs (some seems to be much more stable than the others).
What we need here is more stable Japanese font & input method package to do things properly... We need Asukal

Thanks, but the link seems not working, could you post again ?

Stable CJK system
My experience :
1. Install Asukal's echinaNo5a to support Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
CJ fonts are included.
1.1 move&over write /Temp/wince.nls to /Windows
1.2 delete the startup menu's "usemynls?".
2. Install A4&Hanwan to input Chinese input and Atok to input Japanese.
3. Install other stuffs: Genocide Today, KPCapt, MMSLite265, JJ Pimp My Black 0.2,SQLCE 2.0, AozoraKoneko
I am using Elf_Edition_v2.1 based on LSVW 0519 ROM switching from Black 3.0.1.
It usually works several days for me and surely randomly locks too, but is mostly stable one ever
If anyone teaches me how to cook a ROM, I can make it.

I've tried it and it seems that it is quite stable, but I can't connect to the Internet via GRPS/3G. I've tried to delete the Softbank setting but it didn't seem to work.

here you go! Just the nbh file.

Thanks for your replies and votes. Many others here seem to have crashing/freezing problems, just wondering why you all (except me and one other) said that your PDA is stable?
My Black Majik ROM has been better recently, but not what I call stable, recent crashes:
Thurs-0
Fri-4
Sat-0
Sun-0
but I don't know why.
I expect a phone to be completely stable, not mostly stable, not like old versions of Windows, like XP very rarely crashes, sure programs crash but I think it is a major programing/design error when the OS fails and the only way out is a reset.
People have all sorts of problems, quite often linked to the software they install(in this case Japanese support software), but I don't see how this software stops the OS from working, if there is a problem with SPB mobile or any other sotware then that software only should crash within the OS and leave everthing else alone, not take down the whole system, unbelievable!

pre-cook Japanese into the external rom in wm6 english??

Mate, here is a sort of copy of my post in the "Make your X01HT a WM6 Device (for Gaijins)" (in wm6 hermes forum).
I have not heard anything back about my inquires, so I am posting it here with a few changes/comments. Note, I am using a x01ht and live in Japan, so I am using the softbank network.
I had the same problem as many others: when using WM6 (An English version) with Japanese language cabs/MMSlite etc installed AFTERWARDS using the guides on this board, they ALL crash, in one way or other.
This is strange because The Samurai build (beta 1/2) (Japanese cooked rom) worked perfectly! What is going on here? I wish there was away to convert it to English (I mean the GUI only). Then I would be in PDA heaven.
Overall, I have found that all Japanese language wm6 roms have worked better than with English ones installed with Japanese input/language support. Anway reasons/ideas why this would be would be most welcome......
Some typical crashes with English WM6 builds with Japanese language/fonts/mmslite 2.65 or 2.75 installed aftterward：
- MSSlite crashes A LOT (the whole thing freezes, then upon re-set, half the mail in the inbox is gone -- or the MSSlite programme itself is gone and needs a reinstall).
-crashes A LOT using explorer. No reason at all. Again, it just freezes. Freezes more with wifi.
-sometimes crashed on the comm manager screens, or in settings.
The point is, the thing crashes A LOT under WM6 with Japanese support installed later, following any of the guides here.
Anyway, in the end I went with Hermes_WWE_3.30.3.3_4_X01XT (Latest LVSW wm6 in English with Japanese support cooked in to install settings upon first boot via the external rom)
http://rapidshare.com/files/39953635/Hermes_WWE_3.30.3.zip
It works fine. Not one crash over a week! And believe me, I have tried to crash the thing. I even installed the touch HTC plugins.
Basically, the difference between this and other wm6 roms is that all the Japanese support was cooked in to install via the external rom upon the first boot. So, my question is:
Since somebody (A Japanese guy) made this, it should be possible to make a similar Black version (for example) with built in Japanese language/mms/softbank settings set up to install automatically via the external rom upon first boot. Anybody know how to do this?
If we can do this, or somebody post a guide, it would seem to solve all our problems.

I'm guessing that maybe we take a copy of the Ext_ROM from the one you're using, install another English ROM, and then copy the EXT_ROM over, and hard reset it to kickstart the auto setup process. What do you think?

I tried it in Black Majik, and had to run the Ext_ROM manually, but nothing changed, even after a reset! No connection, fonts, nothing!
You've got to edit a file in the Windows directory to enable it, I see. When I get time I'll have a go...

Would that work?? Oh, my phone is locked so I can't do that! :-( its the post April softbank one. Damn you softbank! Can somebody else try that??

****! This ROM is Magic!! How made it?
Only problem is that it's slow, if compared with Black. Can anybody cook a black ROM with this incredible Softbank support?
Please!!!!!

You mena that if if you run all the .CAB of the extended ROM, 1 by 1, in the proper order; nothing changes?

Yes, that's right.

I checked the ROM carefully ... All the Japanese support is cooked into the ROM, not via Extended ROM.
Or that boy cook new ROM, or we can't do anything. Anyway ... I think that it's extremely slow for be WM6.
Saludos

Great! Kind of.
It is good to know that I am not the only person who has had chronic trouble with installing Japanese support in WM6. I have tried quite a few ROMs, Black 2.5 through Dymond, as well as a few LVSW, and have had random lock-ups and the SOD on all of them. I keep going back to my Japanese WM5 ROM for the stability. I've got a three-day weekend coming and will report back after flashing Hermes_WWE_3.30.3.3_4_X01XT with anything I find out about this baked-in Japanese support ROM.
To sesaru, I have noticed that LVSW is routinely slower than Black - even without any Japanese support issues.

the rom is slow, but it is completely stable. I wonder how it was made? It certainly shows it CAN BE DONE. I have not had a single lock-up since I installed it. So.... something going on here. Nobody can figure it out? Oh, and for the record, it installed all of the Japanese stuff from the external rom upon first boot (the 3 second thing). So, I wonder why does Japanese work without crashes if installed automactially upon first boot via external rom??

Which BlackBerry Client on my Artemis?

Hello,
I have searched hours to have a blackberry client working on my Artemis :
- have tried many versions
- have tried different ROMs from Meschle
Everytime I have same result I cannot connect to Blackberry and the black berry client does not show any service...
Anyone have HTC P3300 (Artemis) with working Blackberry client?
Please advise I I really need this for my work...
My current configuration :
HTC Artemis P3300 unlocked
Meschle's ROM 4.02 Lite w CUBE
I live in the czech republic and my SIM card is a T-Mobile one with all services activated (BlackBerry + Edge...)
Thanks

Thanks for reply but I already read this post among many others it does not work on my Artemis... still cannot connect or get an IP...
How to know which version of radio i have? is it on boot screen?
Thanks

I have an Artemis and I am using the blackberry functionality successfully. Here is a site where you can find all information about HTC and blackberry:
http://sems.org/entry.asp?ENTRY_ID=276
Under Start-Settings-System-Device Information you can find all information required about the OS etc. of your Artemis. I use the 03.07.90 Radio version and it works fine for me. I use the Artemis Touch 3.01 Rom. Apparently nobody has been able to run the blackberry connect under WM 6.01.
For me it was crucial, to ask your IT department to re-activate my Blackberry account. Before, nothing worked and since then, it is quite stable. I use 4.0.0.97.
Hope this helps.

WM5?
Thanks a lot for reply.
So are you advising me to flash my device with a ROM containing WM5?
I would do it if I find that I can use BlackBerry as this is very important for me...
Are there any big differences between WM5 and WM6? Would I lack anything by downgrading ROMs?
Currently I have Artemis Touch 4.02 WM6.1 WWE ROM, 5.2.19199 (Build 19199.1.0.0) (Lite)
Thanks again.

Jeremy

As mentioned, Blackberry connect does not work with WM6.1, but does with WM6. I am using
Artemis Touch 3.01 Rom
which is based on WM6.

All OK
So I downgraded ROM from 4.02 Lite WM6.1 to 3.01 Lite ...
Then I installed BB Connect (same version as you as all others don't work with this ROM and my device)
Finally I got the everything working!!! What a releaf !!!
Thanks a lot!!
Nevertheless I am looking forward for next ROM from Meschle which will be compatible with newer releases of the BB Client...
Best regards,
P.S. I also tweaked registry in order to save my corporate emails to storage card instead of main memory!!
P.S.2 : Didn't you notice that your device is slower after installation of black berry services?

How did you do the tweak of the registry?
In some instances, my Artemis has become slower, sometimes it even seems, it hangs up. But it seems that this is the price to pay.
BTW, HTC and RIM have now entered into a strategic partnership and all future HTC models should be automatically provided with Blackberry connect. Thus we might see an updated version of Blackberry connect sonn, that also works with WM6.1.

...
Hey,
Thanks for update...
I have modified the registry this way :
1- add "PropertyPath" value="\Storage Card\Mail" datatype="string"
to this place in Registry : HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings
*** Note : Do not put quotes in the value... ***
*** You can edit registry with many editors such as PHM or TRK ***
2- Create a folder Mail in on your storage card
3- Copy whole content of \Windows\Messaging in the new created folder \Storage Card\Mail
4- Finally after you do this make sure that you take away the messaging today plugin from today screen (important... you can put it back after soft reset)
5- Soft Reset
-----------------------------
I have another problem now with the BB Connect. Since I installed it everything is fine just I have to unlock my phone every 30 min using a password. This is very annoying as you have to open keyboard and enter password everytime you dont use your phone for some time...
Do you have this as well?
Is there any way to disable locking of phone?
Thanks

Solved
I have solved the password issue :
I downloaded MEMMAID application which is able to manage system services and I manually stopped the BlackBerry Security service.
Be careful though this is a powerful piece of software which can really harm your device if misused...
advice : do not change the service startup type (auto/manual) just stop the service after each Soft Reset otherwise you will not be able to use your device after soft reboot.

I managed to get my Blackberry Connect working on my P3300. Here are the details:
HTC P3300 (purchased in India)
Artemis Touch 4.02 ROM
Radio 3.08.90
Blackberry Connect Version 4.0.0.97
Device Id set to HTC_P3300
HKLM\System\Version\AKU = .0.3.1
Carrier = Airtel India (http://www.airtel.in/wps/wcm/connect/airtel.in/Airtel.In/Home/ForYou/BlackBerry/)
Connecting to BES on Exchange at company workplace.
I see email, calendar, notes and contacts synced from my Outlook.
Thanks to all for the data/input on versions/radios, etc.

tip
Hey,
I updated ROM (6.1) and for some reason the connection would last few seconds and then I would loose IP address...
Long time I didn't know what to do and even going back to original working ROM it didn't work...
Finally, I deleted my internet connection and soft reset.. HOP the connection was up and running again
So now I will add again my internet GPRS connection (for www and other games/weahter...) and will see... Probably I have to setup some sort of exceptions in the lists to prioritize BlackBerry somehow...
Cheers.
BTW, BlackBerry works with WM 6.1 ! Also there is new version 4.0.0.100 which works as well for me.

Texting Problem

Guys
I seem to have a problem, when I go to write or reply to texts both on T9 mode and not the phone will only type numbers and not letters, I have tried to see if it's the setings but am not able to work out what's wrong
Frustrating or what? does anyone have any solutions, please ......

I have the same problem, i flash it again.
I have the mikenifinent rom NLD

I have the same problem a few times. Only when I use full quatry keyboard I can type letters. If I choose phonkeypad(i normaly use that) or compact keyboard, it types numbers and not letters. I have had the problem 1 time with Dutty WM 6.5 Leo R2 rom and on Miri rom.
A softreset will solve the problem. But I don't know why it is comming. Must be a bug in the keyboard or messageing system.
