Need Help - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

Sorry if this is in the wrong section but I'm having trouble accessing the Setting>Phone. Once I click on it my phone freezes. i have a 8525 WM6 on it that came from ATT with Slide2Lock, advance config tool, Microsoft Live Search, RC Mod, Microsoft .NET CF 2.0, PTTFix Oz Communications. I had this problem before but I don't remember how I fixed it. Is there a patch or something I need to download to fix this issue?

Have you tried to hard reset it? That should correct the isssue. By the way did wm6 come on it or did you flash it. If you flashed it then it could be your radio needs to be upgraded to a 6.0 radio. I hope this helps.

It came with wm5....I'm having a hard time upgrading it wm6. Everytime i go to install it my phone goes into standby mode which looses the connection..

[Universal] radio 1.08.00

New radio rom 1.80.00 found in buzzdev.net
http://buzzdev.net/component/option.../id,245/chk,f591b2e6d03ade7ce6681bbbc7563b3a/
have fun
RE
Anybody tried it? Does it solves the bluetooth disconnection problem?
Thanks
Radio 1.08.00
Radio 1.08.00 seems to be for the Himalaya?
yep ! definetely for a himalaya !
I'm halfway through upgrading mine... maybe I should have checked the new posts in here before I started... :? I'll let you know how it turns out!
I had the Country ID error and ran it again. Worked second time.
I guess I can always reflash back to 1.06.00 if it all goes tits up! :lol:
EDIT: Presumably if it's for the Himalaya then WiFi connectivity will be broken once I've done it, since the Himalaya doesn't support WiFi. 30% done. I'll report back soon...

Please let us know, so we could possible proceed as well.
im 88% through flashing, figured wtf 1.06 can go on again
Okay, I've done the upgrade and when I did a soft-reset my machine said
Radio 1.08.00
Protocol 42.41.P8
And I have connected to my wireless network at home and have successfully browsed to the bbc.co.uk homepage, so WiFi works.
I haven't put a SIM in my device yet (still using my old phone).
Why do you guys think it's for the Himalaya?
well it seems to work a treat chaps,
wifi connectec quicker im sure, not long enough for a thorough check but its working!!!
oops i forgot to remove the sd and sim, ahhwell, flashed first time, phew
Okay guys, here's what I've found so far:
WiFi works - connected to my home network and browsed
Bluetooth works - ran TomTom and got a fix
Phone works - Made a few phone calls.
AND... When I rang the Exec it indicated an incoming call the INSTANT I got a dial tone on the house phone and there was no delay before we could hear each other!
This looks like the real deal!
im sure this thing is running alot smoother aswell, so far 1.08 on the Universal is a green light, i dunno where this hymilaya thing has come from, but on buzz's site its in the universal section
Yeah I agree Carnivor. It looks very promising so far and all of the functions appear to work at least as well as before.
Just been syncing successfully with Exchange over WiFi.
Obviously if it starts crashing we'll report back, but nothing bad so far!
About wifi, did you have the need to turn on twice to connect, and is it solved with this radio? Ie: Some universal user can turn on wifi the first time, but if you turn it off (using the pocket pc menu, not by turning off the power), and you turn on again, it won't connect. You would have to turn off then on to connect.
i upgraded to my Jasjar and all went alright until I reset at the end and it want boot past the blue i-mate screen, I have even hard reset and still nothing.
Any help please.....
Or does anyone know how to put old radio or Rom on as it will not boot up so I can't use activesync
Please any help
I have tried doing an upgrade while in the screen where you hard reset it and still nothing, it just sits at the blue boot up screen
Please anyone, Thanks

Just reset the device normally and plug in the USB cable.
ActiveSync won't connect, but it will be connected to your PC. Just run the T-Mobile ROM Update program then and everything should be fine
If you still want to upgrade to Radio ROM 1.08.00, then try the tutorial I wrote here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40986
Just follow all the steps for the radio ROM, and in the end throw away the non-radio ROM files before flashing
I'm using this method right now on my Dutch T-Mobile MDA Pro as I also had trouble with the NoID tool
Thanks for helping me.
You said use the T-Mobile Rom, I have a i-Mate Jasjar, is the T-Mobile Rom the only Rom that will fix this problem?

Err, sorry, my bad
I thought you had a T-Mobile logo in your name
No, if you have an I-Mate, use an original I-Mate ROM instead of the T-Mobile one
EDIT:
Actual feedback on this Radio ROM:
the GPRS refused to log in, somehow, although I'm not quite sure this is a problem with the ROM. I'll downgrade to 1.06.00 later and see if the problem persists.
Everything else seems to work just fine
Upgrade Radio 1.08.00
I just upgraded my Universal (OS: TMo 1.20.34) with Radio 1.08.
Everything running like a charm.

No Wifi/WLAN after upgrade?? -> Possible Solution here!!

Hi Guys
I was using Black 2.0 with SPL 1.40.Olipro (HardSPL_v6) and Radio 1.41.00.10 and this afternoon decided to upgrade to Black 2.5 with SPL 2.10.Olipro
Everything worked well, until i got home, where i noticed no matter how hard i tried wifi/wlan would not detect any networks. Did a few searches but decided to go back to my previous config to see if it still worked or if i did any permanent damage to NAND/EEPROM blocks
First i tried Black 2.0 still with SPL 2.10.Olipro and Radio 1.41.00.10 but to no avail.
Next i downgraded SPL to 1.40.Olipro (HardSPL_V6) still with Black 2.0 and Radio 1.41.00.10 then everything worked!!
Immediately after that Black 2.5 went back on still with 1.40.Olipro and Radio 1.41.00.10, the moment WLAN/Wifi was enabled, a window poped up with a "New network detected" prompt.
Those with WLAN problems please try downgrading your SPL to 1.40.Olipro (HardSPL_v6) as i believe 2.10.Olipro may have some bugs?
Please post feedback for those that have tried.
Cheers!
Have you a link to download Hard-SPL V6 ?
I try with V5 and black 2.0 and no wifi start
Well, I am not sure what is posted below is necessary. I have Black 2.5 and SPL 2.10 Olipro (with Radio 1.41). My WiFi works fine ... and I did no special tweaking (other than to install the cingular settings).

Are you getting an IP address from the router? Usually its in the format 192.168.x.y
If you have an IP beginning with 169.x.y.z then make sure DHCP server is enabled on your router's config page. Do a search im sure this has been covered here before somewhere in greater detail.

I've tried everything, including using SNIFI and SOCKET WIFI softwares to connect to my existing netgear router(WEP enable) after upgrade to WM6 Black 2.5 and Radio 1.40 but unable to detect the network . After several hours, the only solution that work is: Turn on WIFI, DELETE existing connection, and add new connection (with WEP key)- and everything works !!!! . Hope this help

So you were able to turn on your wifi but couldn't connect?
.... I am unable to turn on my wifi at all.
I am having no trouble at all with WiFi, see signature for setup details.
Had 1.41 radio first, then upgraded Black 2.5, then SPL 2.10, no reasoning for order that I did it in, just did it as the upgrades were available.
anybody knows how to configure wifi in this version?

Although i dont think order matters, but i did the following which didnt work for me
1. Radio 1.41
2. SPL 2.10
3. Black 2.5
Maybe i should try SPL 2.10 last now that everything is working
Btw did anyone notice a slight decrease in speed/response from Black 2.0 to Black 2.5?
Firstly, thanks.
I have checked it, I can get IP from the router.
I did a Textbook upgraded based on "Mr Vanx" upgrade guide to Black 2.5/1.41.00.10/2.10.Olipro (HardSPL v7)
every thing works perfectly except I can connect to my Netgear wireless router, it detects it and ask for the key, but will not connect.
Not with WPA-WSK or WEP, I have tried everything (removing settings, upgrading router firmware changing from G to B, Hard Reset and not a sausage, it was worked perfectly before the upgrade.
Wififofum2 detects in but failes to recognise the type of security.
I am going to try putting the retail imate back on
I'm on Black 2.5, 1.40 and Wifi turns on, does not detect the network... even with a manual CONNECT through connections
Let it sit a while, with wifi on, 10 minutes maybe, then it decides to pop up Network Detected... truly weird..
Same NO Wifi Issue here too
Running all latest ROMS (see my sig.)
When I turned Wifi, it appears from the device to be working, but it did NOT pick up any signal at all. But...
I DID get Wifi to finally come on, I believe, by turning OFF my Cellular signal in the Connections app, and then turning on Wifi. I think it took a couple of mins to popup, saying my ssid was found at that point.
If anyone finds a real solution, please post!
Hi guys,
I've been reading the forum long time and this is my first post.
My phone is Softbank X01HK and I am currently running Black 2.5 with the buzzing cap, SPL-2.10-Oilpro and Radio 1.38.00.11. My phone works well on Wifi, HSDPA, GPRS-EDGE and GRPS. I have 2 phone numbers with 2 different provider in Hong Kong, Hutchison 3-HK and Peoples.
I used to have SPL-1.40-Oilpro and until yesterday I flashed to SPL-2.10-Oilpro. Surprisingly but weird, I have found my 3G reception at home gets 1 to 2 bar better right after I have SPL-2.10-Oilpro installed. It is so weird cuz I thought the boot loader has nothing to do with the 3G reception, also, everything else still works without any noticeable different.
I was planned to upgrade my Radio Rom to 1.40, but I think I'll stick with 1.38.00.11 for while.
Hope this help

Has anyone figured out why gprs settings & exchange password are disappearing??

Has anyone figured out why gprs settings & exchange password are disappearing everytime you do a soft reset!!!!!! I flashed to the Dopod new SEA rom from the official HTC 1.23 for Europe. Is there a trick to stop it from disappearing after soft reset or the rom is bogus??
Gilbert
PS: I am writing from the trinity so I apologize if this topic was discussed
its not happening to me!
I am not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but I also seem to have hard-spl 1.07ds and the 3.03 that came with the dopod rom installed in my bootloader. how I know? well if I try to downgrade to the official htc 1.23, I get the 1.07ds in the bootloader and it fails, the I try to reinstall the new dopod wm6 and it works. I have super cided device & I can write to my extended rom. could this be the reason my gprs username and password and my exchange password keep disappearing afTer a soft reset? I made a hard resetusing the two buttons to get it to factory specs & it is still doing it. I have no installed programs.
i don't believe 1.07 is hard-spl, and i don't think you can actually have two spl's on there at the same time. I think one is just being overwritten by the other.
thanks for the clarification. however why in God's name am I losing my connection settings and exchange password everytime I soft reset when I have no programs installed or previously installed cooked roms. I remember the Dopod ANZ version might have had something like this and maybe dopod pulled the rom and promised to put another one in few days. I could be wrong about that.
thanks,
gilbert
I'm also experiencing the same problem and I couldn't find a solution for it.
Have you done a hard-reset after flashing?

Just discovering the flashing thing, so I'm not expert, but as far as I understand 1.07ds is not a hard-spl, but one that is pushed onto the phone by the update utility. To know what "resident" bootloader is on the phone, U need to enter the bootloader mode by pressing power+camera button plus doing a soft-reset.
Furthermore, to avoid installation of another bootloader (like the 3.03), I installed an hard-spl (olipro 1.30) and I put the phone into bootloader mode manually prior to flashing. Otherwise, the udate utility pushes the SPL 1.07ds which does not prevent the installation of the new 3.03 bootloader.
If you have the 3.03 on your device and want to downgrade, have a look at http://trinityguides.info at the Dopod WM6 Guide.
As to the disappearing Exchange password, I do not experience this pb.
Bye
yes, it is happening to me also on SEA version.
to be honest I was not overly impressed with the official SEA version so went back to AX3L's great ROM.
as for why the exchange and GPRS settings get lost, the only thing I seem to see is that it is if I installed or uninstalled some app that needed a reboot. it was not one particular app but I seemed to see the problem after installing / uninstalling themes and the kaiser home plug.
have you done any of these and seen the issue?

My pop3 account was gone after my FIRST flash with WM6 and install of the Kaiser home plugin. But then I did a hard reset, flash WM6 SEA again, and again hard reset. No problems at all anymore... Thats why I stated the hard reset
after hours of playing with the my bloody machine, i seem to have pinpointed the bloody problem. it is the new windows messenger doing all this crap. I am not sure how as I did not go through the codes but when I don't set up windows messenger and merge the contacts with the device, even if i do a thousand soft reset, the connection to the gprs automatically comes on and my exchange syncs no problem. but when you set up messenger with the device, you start getting the same crap of disappearing gprs settings and exchange password!!!

Me too.SEA version
What a total pain! Guess I'll stick with just the radio upgrade for now then.
I was going to suggest that if things seem funky after a ROM flash it is always worth trying a re-flash in case something just went a little awry first time around. But the fact others have found the same issue seems to clearly warn that this is not a one off misfortune.
Many thanks for letting everyone know... and good luck with straightening it out.
different experience
I had lost my Exchange passward and the Cingular GPRS setting info a couple of times, but after my back up today, I lost all the settings to the point that I couldn't even connect to Wi-Fi. I hadn't done a hard reset after my flash, so I am doing that now. I never set up Messenger, so I can't imagine how that could be the problem.
Would that be the same problem as the device password that some others were screaming in other threads about wrong device password?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317841
I would guess that there's a credential database WM uses to store usernames and passwords, just like your desktop windows OS, and it either got corrupted on the memory or failed to write back to the filesystem after resetting the device.
The result would then be lost passwords, including device passwords, gprs, exchange, mails, wifi...
I have the ANZ official ROM and see the following problems (which I reported a while ago)
1) GPRS password occasionally gets blanked.
2) WEP password lost occasionally
3) Windows Live password lost occasionally .
I can't figure out what causes it- I rarely soft reset, preferring to turn off.
The biggest PITA is that my device code changed, which means I cannot use TT traffic until I get a letter from HTC.
Hmm, i'm suffering this problem also. It is mentioned in one of the various topics of the WM6 - Roms but really donĂ½ know where anymore. Anyone knows if this is possible to tackle?
Thanx!

No problems for a while
I followed some guidance after having the problems, and for a good many weeks it's been fine (maybe over a month).
I set all the passwords (web, WIFI) and BT pairing.
Then I turned the device off with the power buton (NOT soft reset).
SInce then, it has all stuck.

USPL disconnects Activesync

Once arrived to 100% it disconnects the activesync and the screen on the p3300 appears black as it says in the manual. Then I can't make the connection again so I can't transfer the ROM. Can anyone help me?
I have tried a lot of times and read a lot, I have also updated actvesync from 4.2 to 4.5, but still the same.
Thanks,
Without disconnecting run USPL again and see if it helps. If not reset your device and look and see what the SPL version is. If it is 1.11.0000 then it has worked and you can flash the new ROM.
I had the same problem with my P3300 and I found a solution under Windows Vista on this forum (you can find the link in the wiki xda)
http://www.forummobiles.com/index.php?showtopic=139079&st=0&p=1399080&#entry1399080
The only thing, is that's in french...
Maybe you will find some equivalent thing under XP. The tip is to upgrade the driver of the mobile device once USPL is loaded 100%.
I hope this will help.

Seems perfectly normal to me... I think you are not patient enough. It can take quite some time, whatever you do, don't disconnect the usb cable, sit on your hands and watch the phone resets itself. After that a new ActiveSync connection is made, then you can start with the ROM update.
It can also help to disable your AntiVirus and firewall software temporarily, during the flash sequence.
Had this problem too. killed the firewall what worked for me!
Had this problem too. If you are trying to install a cooked ROM run first "clear storage" program (settings/system)

T-Mobile XDA Problem

Hi All,
I have an MDA3 and recently upgraded it to wm 6.5 21630 by Sun-Dream, I now have no service for the phone.
I have been reading here on the forum to put it back to 2003 and change the phone settings.
It wont downgrade back to 2003, i can flash it all ok, it restarts, set the stylus screen then when it says click the screen to start using it freezes, I have tired 3 different roms even the official one from T-Mobile.
It will go back to wm 6.1 or 6.5 no problems, all i need is my phone back.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Mark.

Are you performing a hard reset after flash?
also you should make sure to remove the sim and sd card from the device for the up- and downgrading process, as it can mess up your radio and stop you from being able to make calls. if a hard reset does not help, you should try down- and re-upgrading your radio.
some users also reported that the sim card can actually be harmed during the upgrade process. give the card a try in another phone. if it doesn't work anymore, that could also be the issue. most carriers replace broken sim cards for free.
but you should try out the different methods from easy (hard reset) to the most drastic, which would be a new sim. also, you might want to compare your upgrade process to the one in my tutorials. if you did anything different, that could have caused this problem.
