WM6.1 beta expired hack?

I have a WM6.1 beta rom that expired on my PDA, but there is no future release. Is there a hack to prevent the rom being expired?

More information like make, model of pda and rom?

I have a IPAQ 6945 with WM6.1 loaded, but the beta expired, and the person who cooked it is no longer working on it. Does anyone know how to revive the PDA to the current date?

Try that:

Thanks

Thanks for the link, I looked at the file, needs to be cooked into the rom, I need something to break the timebomb since my rom is already cooked. Anyway to disable timebomb after a cooked rom?
I am looking at some tutorials on how to cook my own WM6.1, so I can share for others who have a 69xx.

TRY THIS ONE TO EXTRACT YOUR ROM

Pls post any pictures from you hw6945 & wm6

Looks like you need to share the rom before people can look at it.
Who did you get the rom from? If you're allowed to distribute it, share it, and then others can disassemble and remove the bomb.
There are various guides for ripping from various devices, but how did you install the rom in the first place? It'd be best to distribute it as you received it, as a cooked rom, rather than a rom rip, to be sure it's a complete and usable rom.
Where is the rom expiring? Once it's booted, or pre-boot? Please post screenshots in the mean time. But again, post the rom (if you're allowed to) and we'll take it apart.

I will post some screenshots, but I am not allowed to distribute the rom, but willing to take it apart and see what I can do. So any tools will be helpful.

WM 6.1
Hi blew888,
Show pics with your HP and WM 6.1 ROM

Here are the screenshots, to my settings, everything works fine, but the year is set to 2006, if I set to 2008, timebomb occurs, even if I use activesync to sync contacts. If anyone can help me find tools to decompile and recompile a rom that I can share, I will be appreciated.

Very nice,
But now how can you share the ROM ...???

Your beta OS was canceled due to lots of issue with the processor speed
The new wm6.1 looks like this
And if you want you can make it look like this
There is a problem with someone that wants to copy his installed OS but not gave the NBF file, there are more question to be asked due to the attached pictures but It looks like a very nice joke

EREZYAD
What is your phone??

hw6915 wm5 modified with some software like shell 2 ,o2 last call plugin, WM6 today screen ,my name at bottom right is shortcut to new menu and shell and alot more nice things
but the settings screen shot is just a modifid one with photoshop ...
(less then 2 min)

Ok LOOOL

Yes, this is a really early build of 6.x. When I flash the OS, the welcome screen is all messed up, but I can set the default windows green them, looks like the WM5. I believe they tried to use the same theme, but I was able to fix the issues the theme.

No status update on this.

What's the status on a working WM 6.1 rom?

I know you guys get this question daily, but I'm waiting on 6.1 to get ported to the S630 before I upgrade from my S620. Any promising progress or ETA?
Thanks!

status updates
i think a lot of people would like to know the latest status of the cavalier WM 6.1. It might be a good idea also if some of the developers working on the project coordinated together.
Who is working on Cavalier WM 6.1 and what their status?

I want to cook WM6.1 rom for Cavalier. Anyone can give me help? Thanks

I would love to see a 6.1 rom as well. Even the Dash has one now!

WM 6.1
Hey, what is the hitch in trying to develop WM 6.1 for the Cavalier? Is anyone working on this? Does anyone need help? I might have some resources to help. I have an unlocked X02ht coming in the mail for me to replace my dying Dash... I just realized I gotta jump back from 6.1 on my Dash to 6.0 on the X02ht. Seems sad. Please let me help, whoever is heading this project.

This seems to have stagnated. I've never cooked a ROM but I do have a technical side.
Where do we start?
Do we just approach someone who's done a 6.1 ROM for a different device?
Most of the ROM cooking guides seem to assume a ROM of the right version to start with...
Anyone point me in the right direction?

As there's no official WM6.1 Rom for the moment for Cavalier it is hard to create a cooked WM6.1 ROM as you need to port a working 6.1 ROM from another smartphone (my best guess is Excalibur as it has the same form - more or less) and porting is very hard thing to do.
Cheers

Now there seems to be 6.1 to s620 Excalibur
Seen elsewhere...
Maybe it will help
hey guys this is a link to the new windows mobile 6.1 for the T-Mobile Dash (HTC Excalibur or S620)
file was 44.6 mb so was too big to upload on here but here is the torrent file and it should be pretty quick to download and just follow the on screen instructions..
please follow the onscreen instructions and BACKUP ur data!!

Sorry no it won't. What needs to happen is for a ROM to be ported over to the Cavalier. There are a couple of walk throughs that I'm planing on looking at. If I make any progress I'll post it here, but don't hold your breath.

I heard somewhere- here probably- that we're waiting for a CID unlock before work can begin on a wm6.1 rom for the cavalier. Not being a developer, I haven't a clue what that means but I hope we get one quick, because I want that threaded sms! Anyone here know what a CID unlock is and how the developers can get one?

With HardSpl already active you don't need CID unlock anymore.
HardSPL make the device think that is CID unlocked but in reality it's not so you can flash any ROM you want.
Cheers
P.S. Keep in mind that this does not apply to SIM unlock.

Well that's certainly some good news! Now if we can only find a charitable developer to cook it up!

Asus A696 Upgrade to 6.1 or 6.5

Hey,
I tried to upgrade my Asus A696 to a new version but no luck (i'm not that good at this kind of stuff), so my question is if there's a way to upgrade it at least to WM 6.1, or 6.5 using a different ROM version or something like that.
I would appreciate if the following answers would be from people who tried this before.
PS: If there are links (here) where i can find steps to upgrade, i would be grateful if you point them out.
Regards

I'd like to do this as well. I second the request for help and I'd very much like to know if you are able to do this .
Thanks very much,
PM

I sign for that too - I would to install WM6.5

It will be soon, I have working version wm6.1 PLK (21109), but it's just my second build. I don't have this device, so I can't do it quickly.

WM6.5 on a non-phone device, that's a big mistake.

I hear you - 6.1 though would be cool for sure
Thanks a lot,

I would like it to

I have working wm6.1 PLK kitchen, but WWE kitchen is not checked yet. I don't have this device.
I can upload it, if you want.

It's not a mistake. For example WM6.5 on HP iPAQ hx2000 series runs much faster then WM6.1
I would suggest You to go for WM6.5

that's my opinion, I don't like chome, honeycomb, new big menus, manila and other kind of sh%t.
But if you like it, you can use it. I don't prohibit it

any news about it? I would like to install 6.1 or 6.5 also on my a696

Was amazed to find a ASUS P527 6.5 upgrade on here the other day, being able to upgrade the A696 would be awesome as well .
So if there is anyone listening out there, please, please
Thanks,
Peter

here is kitchen for A626/A686/A696, PLK language. I don't have enough time and device to make working wwe version.

Thanks for your reply, I downloaded and took a look - but I've never done anything like this before, I don't know where to begin. The fact that anything I make with this would be Polish (?) - I'm out of my league. Maybe I'll see if I can figure out the P527 where they do have a World Wide English version already and see what can be done with that.
The P527 has a bunch of ways to upgrade through USB and microSD even if the main process fails - I have no idea if there is such a method for the A696 though. If a flash fails, that could be it... and that's a little bit daunting for a first timer...
Thanks,
Peter

you can make image backup first.
pdocread –v 0x0 0x3600000 nk.nb0
upgrade is simply, by usbloader.
1. Disable usb connections in async
2. plug usb cable to pda
3. reset pda with center dpad button pressed.
4. USB Download mode screen will appear
5. Click "Upload ROM!" in kitchen.

can anybody please create and upload the wwe version? It's just that I don't understand Polish so the PLK is completely useless to me (and I guess others)

globalbus, can you please at least try? I can test the ROMS if you want

Yes, I can try, but not so fast.

Well, I am subscribed to this thread so just tell me when you have something ready. I will be waiting

I too would like a WWE version of a 6.1 or 6.5 ROM for the Asus 6x6 series devices... I would be willing to do some testing as well. I would also be willing to make a donation to whomever gets a 6.5 ROM working.

Questions from a new TP2 owner (Roms Question)

Hey Guys i just got tp2 , however i dont know quite alot about windows mobile as i was a symbian user
I have a series of questions that i hope can find an answer
As we all know tp2 comes with windows mobile 6.1 and i have seen several leeks of 6.5 provided by XDA , my question is as follow can i install it normally and download it directly to my phone ?? or is their another way to get windows 6.5 to My tp2?
Second question is i really wanna know whats the benefits of doing Hard SPL , and whats the benefits of roms like energy rom? do they replace touch flo or something or the whole windows mobile? if anyone would just give me an insight to why one would want to use Hard SPL and constantly get new roms
Third: it also mentions with energy rom that it is windows 6.5 does this mean i must have windows 6.5 leaked version installed? or energy rom installs windows 6.5 by default to my phone?
Finally if i did install those roms could i download default windows applications like say coreplayer for example? or that wont be allowed ??
Thanks in advance and i hope my questions could find an answer!

to install any custom rom on your device, you need to have hardspl on your device. hardspl allows you to install these custom roms otherwise you would get an error and nothing would happen. the benefit is that these roms are tweaked and dont come with all the bloat ware that your cell providers cram a phones with. you must read the instructions though as you can damage your phone to the point of it not working anymore. as for apps, if they are built for windows mobile 5.0 and up, chances are that they will work, although some apps dont run at 800x480 resolution. some apps require .NET Framework 2.0 or 3.5. you can download that through microsoft. and as far as windows version, that gets installed with the rom. so if it says 6.1 in the discription then you will be running 6.1 and so on. by installing these roms, you get an experience tailored more to your need instead of what a company puts out for everyone.
hope this helps

To answer your third questions...energy rom will install windows mobile 6.5 on your phone while it loads. There is no other steps necessary. (Besides Hard spl'ing first)
To answer your last question...Yes, you will be able to install coreplayer. You should be able to install any win mob program for that matter.

Clean version of WM 6.1. How to go into Serial Mode?

Okay so I have some newbie questions that are probably stupid questions to ask but here goes anyway...
Is there a way to get a clean uncooked version of WM 6.1? Do cooked ROMs work with any WM 6.1 phone or are there hardware specific settings in each ROM which would require you to use a cooked ROM of your specific phone's model in order to work right?
I can usually understand the technical aspect of most things but this whole ROM cooking thing seems like such a higher level of technicality than I am capable of really understanding. I tried following some of the tutorials but I just get lost.
And for the noob of newbie questions... I don't know how to get my phone to go into "serial" mode. When I connect my phone to my computer using my USB cable, the phone asks if I want to go into "Storage Card" mode or "ActiveSync" mode... no serial mode option. When the phone is off and I connect it, it just starts up and loads WM 6.1 to get me to that same ActiveSync/Storage Card screen.
And lastly, everyone is going probably going to jump down my throat about this but... I have a Chinese phone called a Ciphone C5. I love the WM 6.1 OS but I'm still trying to figure it out. Here's the specs:
Model: Ciphone C5
Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional
ROM Version: 01.001.1 CHS
ROM Date: 3/24/2009
Processor: 450 MHz Samsung 2443C
Don't know if that helps anyone, but any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated by me. Thanks,
-David

I am Still not able to build and then rebuild it.
The rebuild new Ciphone.Bin is always smaller than the old one.
And the Flashprogramm does not accept it for loading to the Ciphone C6
I think there are some parts missing after rebuilding. But I don't know at witch step there is the failure.
Please give me the parameters to use OSNBTOOL in the right way.
