help! Windows Mobile 6 for MIO A701 - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Can someone help me find all i need to install windows mobile 6 on my Mio A701...
Please let me know all i have to do to make it work.
Thanks.

check out these sites: www.miousers.co.uk --or--- www.a701.org --or-- http://atifarkas.extra.hu/ I have Wm6 on My Mio A701. (in the farkas roms site you find wm6 in
Downloads.)

thanks a lot... now i try to find out what i have to do to make it work... but i`m happy to see someone installed it before me
thanks.

how can i install the bin file ? i tried with ScoterRomUpdate-R01 and it didn`t work...
can someone explain me how to make it work ?

I sent you a pm. The .bin file is called "CE img"
Be sure you put the rom upgrader on your PC. I put it on my desktop. it has to be run from there, okay?
follow instructions in the PM.
Hope you get it right
regards Snotboy "Marko"

It is also important to disable Usb connections in Active Sync. its in the Active sync settings.

i was gone in danmark for two weeks and i just come back.
so...
i saw your message and i wanna thank you very much.
i`m trying to make it... and will let you know about it

it worked... thanks a lot.
but does it exist any other version or this is the only one ?

Yes! there is many more Roms in this site: www.a701.org But the RX1 wm6 rom is the only one so far... Atifarkas is working on wm6 1.1 Rom. Im Happy that it worked out for you...well thats what forums are for helping each other
Have a good evening!
Marko/Snotboy

one problem don`t come alone... so... my device is now dead.
it didn`t start. when i press de red button to strat it up nothing happens... when i press de reset button nothing happens... so i think it is dead.
do you know what can i do to reinstall the boot menu and the operating system because it didnt enter neather in boot menu...

big problems with my XDA IIs from HongKong

Hi all.
I just bought my XDA IIs some days ago in HongKong.
I´ve tried to update it with the new rom from the "sourceO2" page ... the update started and then an error occured... ???
Now I can only see " USB " (when the device is placed in the sync station) or " Serial " (when it´s not) at the upper part of the screen ...
... and " V 2.07 " at the lower part.
What can I do to use my XDA again ???
Please HELP ME!
Thanks in advance!
Joern :shock:
...
by the way ... Of course I don´t have a backup :-(
If you plug it into your cradle, while activesync won't connect, your phone is still connected with your PC. So you can still update the rom through the rom installer.
So I suggest you find another rom and upgrade it, or try the same one again (in hopes something just went wrong during flashing).
First of all thank you for your prompt reply!
I´ve downloaded several ROM´s already ... But I always get the "wrong country ID" message!
Any other tips?
Same Probelm
I got the exactly the same problem with you. Hope someone can help us!
Ken
Or maybe anyone knows where to get the original ROM for my HongKong XDAIIs ?? There were some links in old posts.. But they don´t work anymore :-(
Unless anyone can find the Country ID of your XDAIIs (which you can no longer check because your device is inoperable), I'm at a loss.
POssibilities I've found are:
O2ASI001
O2___001
So all I can suggest is you try the suggestions here with the above (or if you find it, the correct) country IDs and the O2 Roms you have been trying:

Sorry I couldn't be any actual help .
HK CHT ?
I have tried to download the file xda2sHKcht.zip on this site in order to try but after I downloaded it, it said that the zip file is corrupted.
where´d you get it? :?:
the download site
on the site "ftp.xda-developers.com/BlueAngel/xda2sHKcht.zip"
user name : xda
password : xda
you can try it and post a response to me to see if it works for you
try my trick with original update from qtek.nu
First download the the file from this link below.
http://www.qtek.nu/files/BA_WWE_BP_12200_169_10602_SHIP.zip
Then extract the zipfile.
After ectracting you get an exe file.
Extract this file also.
Then you get ruu.conf and the other setup files.
edit ruu.conf and add 1 line to it
[CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1
then save ruu.conf
after this start baupgrade.exe.
Hope it works but it only helps with country id error so if device is
differend then we need to do something else.
good luck
Oh if you get error tell me the 5 2digit nrs that appear, i can get device data from baupgrade.exe
There is a table with nrs and providers in it
Thank you for your reply!
I will try that out now. Will inform you what happend!
thanks a lot.
Joern
! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! THANK YOU ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
IT WORKED!
VASTLOPER - THANK YOU SO MUCH for your TRICK!!
All the others who replied - THANK YOU, too!
KENJAVA - Try that! It worked really perfectly. Even with the newest Upgrade from the O2 page!
The only thing I don´t like about the O2 upgrade is the LOGO next to the start-button, since I´m using T-Mobile and since It´s always in the front and bugging me ;-) ... Anything I can do against it???
Have a nice week!
Joern
Glad it's back alive now.
You can edit some files in the extended rom to remove the logo and the default o2 settings but you must wait till i am home again so i can look it up.
vastloper (naam pas wel bij dit topic ) Denk je dat ik op deze manier ook mijn XDA2s (uit Maleisie) kan updaten?
I think it will as long as it is a PH20B device.
If you ask questions in dutch to me do that in PM please.
People like to be able to understand what is written here so we try to write in english.

Vastloper. Thanks for the info. Yes it's a PH20B unit.
Sorry about the Dutch.. It's a bad habit.
Here is the question in English: vastloper (name fits to this topic*) Do you also think that I can update my XDA2s (from Malaysia) this way?
* vastloper translated to English means "seize up".
Many people ask me what my name means in english.
Thanks for the translation.
how to edit files in the extended rom ?? :roll:
First unlock extended rom and unhide extended rom with tool found elsewhere on this forum.
You can find it on the ftp under extended rom kitchen in folder tools.
After unlocking you need to reboot the device.
Remove the lines that have to do with O2 in the file config.txt
After changing config.txt you need to mak hard reset.
Good luck.

internal GPS stopped working with P3300

Ok did you read the howto flash a ROM on ARTEMIS?
If yes you probably saw a line that told you to flash twice your P3300.
It often resolve flashing problems. GPS usually use COM4
You can test with free GPS software or with Navio software.
COM Ports
I may be wrong but I seem to have a vague recollection that in the US, the original ROMs use COM9 for GPS (can anyone confirm?). Flashing to a new rom will have changed this to COM4 so you may just need to reconfigure your GPS settings in the individual applications.
Hey thank you for a quick response but i followed the rulles how to install and its still not working after many times please i you can send me a link with the Windows mobile 5 so i will try to reinstall the original WM that came with the phone thanks anyway

Official HTC WWE WM6 SHOULD work with any P3300, that couln't be yours that is not possible to run GPS part.
There is an ARTEMIS or HTC P3300 model that have no GPS inside ? or I've just misinterpret what you said maybe you can give me a link with a refresh WM5 software the will surely work with mine ?

No, All HTC P3300 have got a GPS inside (it remember M$ pub ) only some P3300 haven't got Wifi inside.
You should forget about WM5. I said that I am pretty sure WM6 should work with your GPS.
I can give you a WM5 but it is French orange switzerland version
Was your Wm6 an original HTC WWE version?
NO its a custom something (I dont know) but for sure not an original one please if you can send me link off and World wide English official HTC manufacturing version and i would install it ASAP
Try this...
Start -> Settings -> System Tab -> Clock & Alarms
On Time tab, make sure your time AND time zone is set correctly
Start -> Settings -> System Tab -> Regional Settings
On Region tab, make sure your region is set correctly
Start -> Settings -> System Tab -> External GPS
On Program tab, make note of GPS Program Port
Download & Install VisualGPSce
http://www.visualgps.net/VisualGPSce/VisualGPSceInstall.CAB
Run Visual GPSce
Go to Connect -> Serial port
Set Port to that in "External GPS" setting above and Click OK
If the red dot in the bottom right flashes then your GPS is ok! You may just have to wait for a lock (look for QuickGPS too).

Did you reinstall the official ROM version?
Hey when I try to install the ROM WWE after I press the update button it sends me in a white screen and than he gives me ERROR 260 means cant connect with the device what should I do
p.s. by the way my operation system is Vista so just let you know if there is any kind off significance to the subject
Darren.
When I try to install it without memory card he gives me new error after 2 percent says ''INVALID MODEL ID" this utility can't be use on your PDA ... bla bla bla ... !!! you have any king of advice hint or any kind off something helpful
Try hard reset
First you can try to hard reset your device (pressing the 2 soft key and reset at the same time) You will get a message, press the green phone button. If this does not resolve your problem... you can read first post in the forum, to learn how to flash a new ROM. Does your gps ever worked ?

Ok, the best thing to do is to CID unlock your device (I thaught you already done that)
Read this Thread carefully it will explain why!http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308242
Then use only this to CID unlock your device : http://rapidshare.com/files/119852558/Artemis_USPL.rar.html
After that reinstall the original HTC WWE ROM.
Your problems are from flashing from vista, there are a lot of threads about this, but basically you have to piss about untill you have found out how to install a bunch of old xp drivers and then no more 260 errors. When you have done that you can tell us all here just how you did it and post the drivers again because they are getting harder and harder to find.

Sorry for my broken english.
This is link to post but on russian http://forum.israpda.com/viewtopic.php?p=60290#p60290 and for download you need regestred on forum.
So i think lin to dowmload it's ok!
UnRAR file to SDcard but not SDHC (not work) turn off device.
Push to record + mute buttons both and keep pushed. Push to power button and dismiss.
After you see SDLoder on display put device on table and wait for resume process.
After upgrade wait for windows logo and start yor's device.
Many thanks, I was searching for this for so long!!!

Hi Igor,
I have a 614c since end of March and 3 more around me (of friends) all running on Cellcom SIM. It seems that the ROM does not have Cellcom as a listed service provider.
Since work with HP on a new ROM and have a beta ROM installed on my unit HP asked a few time is there a STD (Sleep Till Death) problem in an Orange SIM, bacause many customers compain about this besides the BT volume and AGC problem. Can you say some thing. Further more, what Hebew are you using on 6 and 6.1.
Thanks

Hello everyone,
Hi I am still kind of a beginner when it comes to updating roms n stuff but I don't plan to use my new PDA at all before I learn couple of things.
so I hope you'd be kind enough to help me out to get me started on this. I downloaded the latest WM 6.1 rom update and the original Rom as well but I will not be touching that before I can create my own back up and be able to restore it. The following questions are pretty much related.
1- I would like to know if there is a software that can run from my PC (not from the PDA) and backup or image the PDA Rom and contents to a file on my PC just like what I do with Ghost and my PC.
so what is the best way to back up a rom and how do I restore one (specifically for this device anyway)
2- are there any tuts I can look at.
3- Finally but most importantly what are the tools that a hardcore developer uses to do this kind of complex back up and restore, how do I create a flash.dio file like the WM 6.1 update and restore.
I am a .NET developer but never done anything for PDA's just yet. I really googled for couple of hours but couldn't find the right tools.
Thanking you in advance

You see, sometimes, with this ROM, some of my hardware buttons (including the D-pad) refuse to work. But, whenever it happens, a simple soft reset sorts it out. I suppose you already tried that, right?
The next step, prior to reflashing, would be to perform a hard reset. By doing a hard reset, you'll lose all your data, and the device will return to its factory defaults. If you don't want to loose your data and settings, back them up beforehand, to be restored afterwards. I know of two full backup applications: SpriteBackup (the one I use), and SpbBackup. Besides, there is a very useful (and free) application which backs all your PIM up: PPCPimBackUp. Just search for it here at xda-developers.
To perform it by software means, tap on Start > Settings > System tab > Master Clear. It can be done by a combination of hardware keys too: press and hold both the blue Fn and the green Call buttons, and, at the same time, press the reset pin with the stylus pen (some people here replace the reset pin by pressing the Power button at the same time as the other keys, and it seems to work). A white screen will come up asking for confirmation.
If you still happen to have problems after performing a hard reset, then try to reflash. One of the steps of the flashing process will require you to enter the ROM lock code. If you bought your device with its original box, the ROM lock code is printed on a stick in it. Otherwise, you'd have to contact i-mate's support. The links on the 1st post seem to be dead, but the mirror ones on the 2nd post are still working. Just download the zip file which has '9502' in its name, unpack it to anyware you want on your PC, connect your device to it through the USB cable, and make sure ActiveSync is running. Then, double-click on the unpacked EUM SFX exectutable file and follow the steps.
Good luck!

It can be done by a combination of hardware keys too: press and hold both the blue Fn and the green Call buttons, and, at the same time, press the reset pin with the stylus pen (some people here replace the reset pin by pressing the Power button at the same time as the other keys, and it seems to work). A white screen will come up asking for confirmation.
If you still happen to have problems after performing a hard reset, then try to reflash. One of the steps of the flashing process will require you to enter the ROM lock code. If you bought your device with its original box, the ROM lock code is printed on a stick in it. Otherwise, you'd have to contact i-mate's support. The links on the 1st post seem to be dead, but the mirror ones on the 2nd post are still working. Just download the zip file which has '9502' in its name, unpack it to anyware you want on your PC, connect your device to it through the USB cable, and make sure ActiveSync is running. Then, double-click on the unpacked EUM SFX exectutable file and follow the steps.
Good luck!

Dear Carlos,
Really appreciated for your kind guiding!
As what you guided, i am on the way to follow it, and some more stupid questions need to through more:
1. I am having SpriteBackup v6.0.2 Build 2065, is this the lasted ver up to now? And does it back up all PM registered as before?
2. What is Reflashing? of course i have Rom lockcode now
3. Run ActiveSync 4.5 from PC and also activate Sync function on 9502, right?
Thank you and best regards, waiting for you reply soon too!

1. Mine was 6.2.2 Build 2280. It was newer than yours, but, from your question, I've just gone to www.spritemobile.com and found version 6.5.4.16 there. I'm presently installing it,
2. Reflashing is the process of updating the ROM on your device. For all recent i-mate devices, the EUM SFX application running on your PC will require the ROM lock code to procceed.
3. You must have ActiveSync installed on your PC. Its mobile version will automatically run on your device when you connect it to your PC. They will comunicate with each other in order to synchronize your PIM, media and other files you'll specify the first time they are connected.
Cheers!

Can anyone upload that ROM for me?

You can find the English v01.77 WM6.1 ROM mirrored here, the Arabic one (with the same build and version) here, and the Italian v01.42 WM6.0 one here.
Hope one of them can fit your new device...
Enjoy!

Hey there,
Just a quick question. I've been looking for the WM6.0 English since quite sometime now but no luck.
Could you guide me where I could find the WM6.0 for 9502? If there is a custom version also I don't mind trying it.
Also would like to know if there is a WM6.5 version released for imate Ultimate 9502?
Thanks.

The stock WM6.0 ROM was really buggy. No wonder why i-mate hasn't made it available at their website. However, if you really plan to downgrade your device, I don't see other option than learning italian beforehand.
Regarding WM6.5, I'd like to flash it too, but, unfortunately, I don't know any cooked WM6.5 buids for our devices.
Sorry for not being able to help you any further...
Cheers!

In theory, you should press and hold 3 keys: the blue Fn, the green Send, and the Power buttons at the same time. When you release them, a white screen should come up asking for confirmation. You should confirm with the left softkey.
Nevertheless, the last time I tried it didn't work for me as such. I had to replace the Power button by the reset pin, i.e. it worked only when I pressed and held both the blue Fn and the green Send buttons, and, at the same time, I pressed the reset pin with the stylus pen. At the moment I released the buttons, the screen confirmation came up.
Good luck!

Mio A501 WM6.1 WWE ROM cooked by elMInStER

Hi ppl,
I've found out a ROM cooked by elMInStER (in English)
I've tried and is almost 100% good. Yep, there's some bugs, but not something too painfull (for me).
Any way, here comes the links:
Link for LITE version (I didn't tested)
and..
Link for full version with M2D(Tested and Running!)
elMInStER wrote that he hasn't a Mio A501 and he's focusing himself on cooking A701 ROM's but, I really hope that the XDA family can now start developping this great peace of work that he done.
One huge small step was made!!
The list of the buggs detected on the ROM:
- I confirm the doubled shortcuts to eUtility and Office/MobileOffice and the SimManager remained in Polish language
- wrong Camera.lnk shortcut (should point to the CCam.exe program instead)
- problems with mapping of the functional buttons:
- in WM5 I had 4 items to set, now there are 3 only
- I can remap no.1 & 2 to some stuff, but not the no.3
- I miss the possibility (from the WM5 ROM) to set automatic keylocking when I suspend the device (pushing the power button) ->Installing slide2unlock solved.
Do this at your own risk! I take no reponsibility if you damage or brick your A501!
You need Windows XP for this!!! as it does not work with vista!
1. Download the File and unzip it.
2. Check that your A501 is not connected to your PC.
3. Disable USB option in Active Sync by right clicking on tray icon, Choosing <Connection Settings> and then Unmarking <Allow USB connections> (remember to enable this after finishing the guide).
4.Open the file ChiSync33.
5. Enter in the bootloader menu by pressing and holding VolumeUP button + NavigationDown button and then pressing and holding RESET button for 4 seconds and releasing the reset button and when the menu appears then the other pressed buttons.
6. Connect your A501 to the PC through USB and wait until the A501 image on top of the Window on your PC appears without the red circle and then press the first update button that you see from top to bottm.
7. The upload begins and then after it is finished the A501 will restart....It will take some time to restart, you will have to go through the initial setup (calibrate the screen, set the time and date.. etc) and after another automatic restart you will see a menu where you can choose from some languages coose your language and then there will be another automatic restart. and thats it!!
As a big fan of elMInStER work, I've seen that he's cooking WM6.5 for A701 and it would be great to see the same happening for the A501.
elMInStER, since you are the only guy in the world (not chinese) that make us taste this wonderfull sweet home made cooking ROM's, please, but please, cook this one for me.
P.S.: I'm living in Krakow and people from Microsoft (in Krakow Business Park - HCL - KBP100) are amazed with you. We need more people like you, we should meet!
Mio A501 WM6.5 ROM cooked by elMInStER
Hi XDA visitors,
I was talking with elMInStER yesterday and he said that when he'll have a time he'll prepare a lovely meal for the A501!!!
Yes.. I mean a fresh, brand new WM6.5 ROM for the A501!!! aaaa, I'm already in dreamland SO GOOD!
I tried to ckeck the scoter kitchen tools and I don't have a clue how to do anything there. :
Well, now what we can do is wait.
To elMInStER, THANKS ONE MORE TIME! YOU ARE KEEPING THE A501 ALIVE!!
Thanks man!
thanks. I tested the lite version as I need more space and memory for Pointui and it works fine.
thanks a lot! works great!!
I also would like to add that my mio a501 works faster than ever with the full wm6.1 rom. The official service in my country did an upgrade to the device or wm5 and it was almost porked. Now it is working satisfactory again! Many thanks to you guys for posting and to elminster for his excellent work!!!

Edit... There's nothing new on pdaclub.pl ... He has his own blog dedicated to Mio devices:
http://elmin.4-pc.pl/
There you can post request and ask him yourselfs...

Button patch
Hey guys,
Here is a button patch registry file I made so every button can be mapped.
Just import the registry file and every button will be set, except GPS because this ROM doesn't have MioMap installed by default.
Cheers!
