Provider Portal

I have recently upgrade my X01HT to WM6... tried both the latest release of Pro Black 2.0 and LVSW... Both were excellent! However, I ran into problem with 3G/HSDPA connection and when viewing my local provider's portal... I am living in HK and while I was on the old Dopod HK WM5 Rom, I was able view the provider's (Smart-tone) portal w/o scrolling left & right. As well, the link for streaming contents are visible. While I am connected to the portal, the connection will drop but automatically re-connect... Have applied the HK Network Wizard extracted from the WM5 ROM and all network settings were applied successfully.
I have read PAPPL's post about browser.dll, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1198850#post1198850... Still not able to get what I used to see on WM5 Rom.
Please shed some light on how the providers usually detect the model of the device and it's capability? I suspect my provider is unable to identify my device and thus failed to adjust it's content to fit the screen, as well as to display the streaming content...
Any suggestions/comments would be highly appreciated!

Generally the pages use the string returned by the browser to determine what it can do....i THINK it returns Mozilla4.0 or something along them lines when you can view pages with images etc....
I havent tried the browser.dll thing to see if it works as i cna still only see the text version of the O2 portal here in UK.
Prior to updating to AKU3.3 (then later WM6) it worked nicely.

Thanks, mrvanx... Your documentations are excellent... Thumbs up for YOU!
What I can do is to downgrade back to WM5 and pull the corresponding registry entry.... only concern is, if the upgraded IE Mobile version? within WM6 may have anything to do with that... struggling...

the reg entry hack doesnt work from AKU3.3 onwards
from what ive read its returned using browser.dll in later versions

mrvanx, wonder if the browser.dll from WM5 (the version that used to work) would help with proper screen formatting on WM6? I have tired to pull a copy from another device running WM5 but it's locked... As well, the file is named something different, like browser.86.dll... Is there a way to extract the copy? Thanks in advance...

anyone tried this with uk t-mob mda compact iii

heading says it all really - i'm cid locked btw.
cheers

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

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.

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.

What is it that you need help with? I have a 700wx and would love wm6.1, however, what would be the advantage of flashing to 6.1? and is there an unlocker available for the 700wx?

I'm very new to all of this, so I'm not really sure what the unlocker would be for. There is a way to load custom roms. It's extremely easy. I would like to get the 6.1 rom I have for the 750 on the 700wx, because I want the threaded sms embedded in the rom, and I would also like to get EVDO working correctly. I believe EDVO is not working correctly because of the verizon update. At the very least, I need a way to get it out of the current wm6 rom.
I have been able to add and remove files from the wm6 rom for the 700wx, but I am unable to dump it without errors. I have tried removing all of the files in the rom, and adding the files from the 750 6.1 rom. The rom will flash fine, but then 700wx sits at the bootloader. When I run nbinfo on the 750 rom it shows that it has a boot sector, but the wm6 rom for the 700wx does not.
Like I said, I'm very new to this. My progress so far has been trial and error.

NightRaven said:
I am currently trying to create a WM6.1 rom for the Treo 700wx. I have a working WM6 rom running now. However, there is an issue with EVDO not reconnecting after a disconnect. You have to soft reset the device for it to connect again. It will then run fine until EVDO times out, or you loose signal. I know verizon bastardized there EVDO implementation, and had to release a patch to correct there EVDO issue. I believe this patch was added to this rom, and is causing problems if you are running on another carrier. I'm running on alltel.
I am hoping an unbranded 6.1 rom will correct the issue. However, I am having trouble getting the 6.1 rom to boot after it has been flashed. I will give the 6.0 rom for the Treo 700wx to anyone willing to help. It runs much better than the stock rom.

I have a 6.1 rom and I'm able to get it to dump. I just can't figure out how to get it ported over to the 700wx.

Before you can flash custom roms to a phone you need to be able to unlock it. Thats why I asked if there was an unlocker for the 700wx, as far as I know there isnt one. I have been searching for one and havent found one as of yet.

The link in my first post is a custom wm6 rom. I was able to successfully flash it to my 700wx. It runs well with the exception of the intermittent evdo issue. All I had to do to flash it, was format my sd card as fat32. Copy the file to the sd card. Take the battery out of the phone. Reinsert the battery while holding the up volume key. The phone displays press up to update rom. Press up on the direction control. The phone will display checking sd card. Then it will show a screen with a progress bar that says downloading rm + bl or something to that effect. After the progress bar hit 100% the phone reboots, and you are running wm6. I never had to unlock my phone. I have confirmed that it works for Alltel, Sprint, Verizon, and Bell 700wx's. I would be really suprised if it didn't work for all of them.

NightRaven:
Interesting stuff. I'm going to have to DL it and take a look.
Couple of questions.
What AKU is this?
Does this have the Palm branded tweaks (IE: threaded messaging)?
Does this have SDHC support?
Where'd you get this ROM? (I suspect I know from where...or maybe I should say from who... )
You might also want to check out what we're doing over on TreoCentral. We have a WM6 ROM that seems to be working okay. I haven't used it a lot as I personally prefer the speed of WM5, but I'll probably start playing with it more at some point.

Not really sure. Does Sprint have the *228 option to activate a phone or update the PRL? That might help... You could also try one of the other options in Settings/Phone/Services tab/network.

How did you flash?
I haven't used this ROM yet, but I've used another WM6 Verizonized ROM, and had no problems with my Sprint Treo 700wx.

The WM6 ROM posted seems to be working great on my Sprint Treo 700WX. I flashed using the instructions provided in this thread. I've added the SDHC patch and am now running a 16 GB Treo 700wx!! I'm not getting the digital roaming message, indicated earlier in this thread and everything seems to be working the way it should.

I'm having the same problem. I flashed with WM6 and my phone no longer would connect to a Sprint tower, always on Digital Roaming. Also, under Settings > Phone > Services > Network I only had 3 options. Home, which got no signal at all. And two with the same name (I don't remember what it was now) but with A and B at the end, both of which would only do Digital Roaming.
So, I flashed back to ebag's Final ROM (http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=164457) and now my Services > Network options are back to normal, but the Home Network Only gets no signal while the other two are Digital Roaming all the time.
Can anybody help with this? I've tried calling Sprint and updating the PRL, I'm at 20229 right now, but no help. Somebody else suggested I needed to reprogram my MSID and SID, but the MSID is still correct and Sprint says they never put anything in the SID part.
I don't know what else to do now. I'm gonna try real quick to flash back to the Stock ROM, see if that helps.
I'm open to any suggestions now. I've been 2 days stuck on 1xRTT and it's killing me .

I'm using the Alltel branded ROM and it seems to be working fine. I think there might be a little more battery drain than I am used to but that is ok. The ROM is certainly faster that the stock 700wx ROM. I have yet to put many programs back on it but the apps i have installed are working flawlessly (SPB Time, Phone Suite, Mobile Shell, Pocket RAR, Pocket Music, and WMTorrent). The MMS doesnt seem to be working though. I'm not sure if i just need to apply Alltel's settings or what. The fact that MMS is not working is not too upsetting as Alltel phone's have never had it to begin with anyway. Truth be told, it is an excellent port of the popular WM6 OS! Great Job!!!! I would just like to note that EVDO is working perfectly.

WM 6.1 Treo 700wx HELP! My rom acts like it's read-only...

I have a wm6.1 rom for the treo 700wx. I have ported the XIP and the OEM from wm6. The SYS folder has been ported from another device. The rom boots, however I seems like the whole file system is read only or write once from certain applications. For instance, I can create new folders using file explorer, but I can't move or delete them. However, totalcommander can. Notes can create, edit and delete files, but file explorer cannot move or delete them.
I have checked the XIP, OEM, and SYS folders. Everthing seems to be correct. I even tried changing the device security policies, and device encryption through provxml. Nothing seems to work. One other thing to note is I cannot disable encryption on the storage card. I uncheck it, exit the encryption control panel, and when I reenter its checked again.
I saw one other post that had similar issues, but there were no replies. Can some one please point me in the right direction for a fix?
When I get these issues fixed, a clean wm6.1 rom for 700wx will be posted for everyone. (No stupid, "BETA - Build your own rom". I promise...)

Anybody?...

OK. I dumped wm6 from the 750 from the at&t update, and used that sys folder with my rebuilt wm6 OEM from the verizon 700wx 6.0 rom. After build and flashing I have the same issues on wm6. So I'm beginning to think it's my xip that is the problem. So, I am going to port the 750 wm6 xip from the 750 and try that in my windows mobile 6.0 rom. We'll see if that works. Could still use help from anyone who has seen this issue before. I know there are others who have had this problem...

Still know responses? Am I really the only one who has ever run into this problem. There was another posting, but no fix.

I guess nobody wants a 6.1 rom on their 700wx...

I desperately want 6.1 on Sprint 700wx
I hope you have made progress with th 6.1 ROM for the Sprint 700wx. I really like that form factor (giving up on my mogul). Please let me know. thanks.

Found the problem. The verizon 6.0 rom is screwed up. I started with the alltel 5.0 rom, and upgraded to 6.0, and then to 6.1. I am testing the rom now. A release will be coming soon.

Thanks for staying on top of this! We really do appreciate the work you're doing.

Windows Market Place is up

I'm using NRG's latest 2.1 rom and have just installed windows market place. just download and install

im probably gonna get flamed to hell for this - but my rom doesnt have the marketplace cooked in - is there a user installable cab? ive searched but failed.

I installed it but it complains that it can't talk to the server
Have they taken it down again?
EDIT: Seems like VodafoneUK and O2 UK don't have it accessible yet...

im seeing some people working fine with marketplace - so im thinking its a rom specific thing - probably some reg setting for server or something - will be trying a few new roms today

I just tried that MP.zip on my TP2, unzipping all files to a folder on the SDcard & running the main app: nothing for me, it starts up & then nothing happens

I am running NRG's lastest ROM as well on Tmobile USA. When I first opened up Marketplace, it told me that I needed to install the Updated App and that worked fine. After that however, it says that it cannot reach the server

T-mobile USA, cannot connect to server here also.

I know ms is updating their server and stuff, I got an email saying that myphone service is the being updated and it wont be available for sometime, maybe the same with marketplace. And can some one put a cab here in this forum, no point linking us to a diff forum where we have to register again to dl.

I downloaded the cab from ppcgeeks, it took me to a page in opera asking me to download another cab, I did so, and Marketplace is working fine over Wifi with my Sprint TP2!!

Still no worky for me even with that cab
