Hey there,
After lots of problems with my P3300 (see this thread), I've decided to flash it to see if that helps. I'm not too bothered about getting the GSM working again as I have another phone, but I'd like to be able to run all apps again.
So... I'd like some advice please.
What would be the best ROM for me to use if I just want to use the phone as a GPS device, portable wifi web browser and notepad?
Basically something pretty stripped down with as good battery life as possible.
Is there any advantage with going for WM6 over WM5?
Bear in mind I've never done this before and am currently reading up on all of it.
From what I've read so far I'll have to do the CID unlock first (currently have WM5 in french installed and would like an english ROM)? I think it may be unlocked already but am not sure. Is there a way to check? Do I risk anything if I run USPL even though the phone is already unlocked?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
You can check if your phone is CID unlocked if the SPL number which comes up while booting during the big white HTC screen says 1.11.0000. If it says anything other than that then it's not unlocked.
Best stripped rom for me is Sheen's clean base version 3. Check it out, it's on the first page of the thread.
alternatively, if u want fast and stripped, go for yues extraclean (see my signature)

ferfecir Clean
This is the best clean rom which is a modified version of Yues clean with 30mb free ram.

Thanks for the replies. My SPL says 1.12.0000 so I guess I need to do the CID unlock.
Ferfecir Build 20931 looks like the most promising from those.
Can anyone please point me to a good tutorial for flashing the ROM via activesync? I'd rather not have to format the memory card if I can avoid it and my soft reset button is broken. (I have serached but had no luck)
Thanks!
download uspl from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
and any rom you want...
unpack the uspl
plug the cable in the device and establish a usb connection
run the "start_uspl.exe" be patient...after being prompted to click some "next buttons" follow the procedure...and i mean it...follow the procedure...that with 50% battery,no programs running on the pc,no unplugging the cable and so on...
and you will have the uspl flashed
go to boot loader...The bootloader is invoked by pressing down the Power and Voicedialer buttons simultaneously, and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the left side. Continue pressing the two buttons for a few seconds after pressing and releasing the reset button until the bootloader screen appears.
if uspl says 1.11.000 then you are good to go
now you can flash any rom (cooked for artemis) and any artemis radio (i recommend you the 3.34.90.) onto your artemis
simply download,extract,run the rom update utility (RUU) ,follow the procedure and watch the show...
if you ever get an error during flash or anywhere else in the rom update utility...refer to this page and troubleshoot your troubles http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RUU_Errors
if you get an error saying invalid file size or something like that (you will get it if you try eg this rom..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=465291)
go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521406 download the file and flash it if it is an ordinary rom...just run the RUU
afterwards just check it in the bootloader if it says 1.11.cmon it is ok....and you will be able to flash virtually any rom cooked for artemis onto yours
i must be damn crazy to post this thing...because it is all there in the wiki and the forum stickies,believe it or not
Thank you very much for the detailed instructions.
Just two more questions!
My reset button is broken. Can I just turn the phone off and back on to check if I have 1.11.0000 instead of using the bootloader?
And the RUU is this one? http://code.google.com/p/htc-flasher/downloads/list (only file I have for the new Ferfecir ROM is a .nbh, is that all I need?)
Thanks again.
this is a very open-ended question.
Everyone on here will have their own favourite rom....if there was 1 definate fits-all "best" rom ...everyone would be using it..but there isnt and we are all using the rom that suits us best
some people want their phone to be more like an iPod and so the multimedia aspect is a priority along with decent graphics and animated menus
some people want the PDA functionality most so they want a really stripped-down fast rom that is reliable and handles email well
everyone wants to use it their own way....thats why this site exists.
The guys who make these ROMS are the guys who say "this is good, but i want it to be more like THIS."
Follow farukb's (excellent) instructions....unlock your device properly....if you get any problems, search for the answer before asking for help....chances are hundreds of people will have had the same problem and hundreds of people will have already given the answer...and then ....just look around the site. See which roms are available that fit YOUR needs, and flash it....if you dont like it, try another.
I'm trying 6.5 roms at the moment and love it....i've flashed it probably once a week with a new ROM each time a new version is released and have seen the OS evolve....right now i'd say PDhee's Mega 6.5 M2D rom is the best of the bunch providing you're not planning on installing LOTS of exra programs.
that's the beauty of these things, if you dont like the ROM, just try another. Sometimes the ROM won't work quite right (especially if flashing ROMs between different cooks) so just try flashing it again to make sure it resets everythin correctly. If it's still not right, try a different ROM.

yeah, unfortunately (and it seems to have increased over the last year or so) nost people on here are noobs who can't be bothered to read through some threads or use the search and we just get the same questions asked constantly.
I dont minds helping people....providing they've looked for the answer themselves first.
every time a new rom is released there will be people asking what error 260 or 270 means?, do they need to USPL? etc etc
it's easier to ask someone else to take time out of their day to aswer your question than just type "error 260" into the search box and find out for yourself. They dont consider that people are having to answer these questions 10 times a week, in their own time, for no thanks, just to have the same question asked the next day. Purely becuase they couldn't be bothered to see if anyone else has asked that question before.
sorry...rant over....i love you all

no
you need to use the reset button (stick the stylus in the reset hole) .
Reset is like turning your computer off and on again
Power button is like turning the monitor off....it doesnt stop programs running and it doesnt properly reboot the device.
Your only alternative is taking the batter out i think (just like pulling the plug out will also reboot your computer).
If you havent already run USPL, then you probably WILL need to do it.
i dont know the specific ROM you're talking about, but just an NBH file will NOT work. You need the EXE file to run it.
Just download any suitable ROM off this site and it will have the whole package....if you're downloading from another site you'll have to ak that other site for help
my reset button doesn't work. i took the phone apart to change the touchscreen and must have misaligned something when putting it back together. sticking the stylus in the hole doesn't do anything anymore. will take the battery out instead, thanks.
regarding the rom, it is one i downloaded from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=531972&highlight=ferfecir
the rar file downloaded from 4share (http://www.4shared.com/file/112067347/72728603/ARTEIMG-Ferfecir_-_20931_en_gncel_hali.html) only contains the nbh, no exe.
and for the record, i've spent all afternoon/evening researching this, searching this forum and the wiki etc! i appreciate it's annoying answering the same noob questions over and over again but i thought my thread was specific enough to warrant it and am grateful for all the replies.

...yeah, and if you read ferfercirs description fully, you will come past "sd-card-flashing" which is the way to flash the *.nbh -part of your rom in a way without needing an activesync connecton
greetz
i did read that bit
but as mentioned a couple of times in this thread already, my reset button is not operational so i cannot use bootloader (afaik). so i assumed there was another way.
but i guess i'll find a rom that comes an an exe and save myself some trouble
no need to keep searching,
u can simple take the provided *.nbh file that came without an exe, rename it to ruu_signed.nbh, exchange the existing RUU from a complete installer-routine and off u go, provided u have used uspl first
greetz
ok thank you once again, i'll try it tonight.
one final question! do i need to have a sim card inserted while running USPL or does it not matter?
It is recommended to remove both your SIM card and your MicroSD card during any type of flashing, whether it be USPL or ROM. Even my reset button is not working anymore, my phone got dropped in water and I had to give it for repairs. After motherboard change they assembled it slightly wrong I guess, and it doesn't work. But I can still get into bootloader by just pressing the Voice record and power buttons together for 10 seconds. Try that.
Secondly, I hate to be plugging myself here, but I have just cooked a clean 6.1 ROM myself, with the latest build of 6.1 that is 21054. you might want to check that out, it comes with the full package and not just the nbh
here it is - (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551728)
Again, sorry, but Im giving you an option thats all

ok i need help again sorry! i tried this but i got an error after 5% saying the .nbh was an invalid size
i used the ROMUpdateUtility.exe from Arte_WM65_23009_M2D_Mega_beta1 ROM (i removed Arte_WM65_23009_Mega_b1.nbh from the folder and replaced it with Ferfecir's .nbh which I had renamed to ruu_signed.nbh)
What did I do wrong?
I ended up flashing with Arte_WM65_23009_Mega_b1.nbh and it worked great but that ROM is too much for me and I want Ferfecir's simpler one.
Thanks
You need to flash the newer USPL which allows nbh files of a smaller size to be flashed.
thanks! it worked. everything working perfectly and my gsm works again too. woohoo.
i have seen a problem with alot of heros and mine, to do with when it is connected to computer the drop down menu doesn't appear for sync or mount sd card. i have tried everything and nothing works, the only way you can connect to pc is through fastboot i've tried to -
- checked enable debugging
- update my recovery (thought it was a bad flash)
- reflash radio roms (thought it was a bad flash because someone else had this problem)
- updated hboot
- updated roms
- tried a few different usb cables
- drivers up to date and reinstalled ( mojos post) edit
anyone know what i could do to totally wipe my phone and start again? like original radio, rom, hboot, recovery. thanks in advance for help, i know quiet a few people could do with the help.
Solution found!
i dont know how it worked but it did,
- i installed a 2.1 eris rom which got things rolling on the phone
- installed the new htc sync that was taken from the legend in this post! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653351
- returned back to madaco 3.2 and works perfectly!
Try re-installing the drivers on your computer.
hmm maybe a stupid and too simple suggestion, but are you using any kind of task killer app ? try ignoring the pc sync process,
worked for me,

Sparra, i'm having this problem also. Extended discussions have been happening on Modaco too.
foxmeister: you can't instal an RUU if you can't get the phone connected via USB
thanks people, going to try killing pc sync task dont think it will work though maybe will, yeah cant install ruu because phone doesnt connect to computer if you look at OP.
i had the same problem with my phone, had to send it in for repair as even after flashing the RUU update in fastboot i couldnt get anything

before ur phone crash do u did a nandroid backup? if u do pls try restore to the previous one =)
i would of done this but my original nandroid backup was lost!! , wonder if anyone elese has an original unbranded nandroid backup? would be good to try.
From what I can see, you CAN flash roms (updated recovery/hboot etc). ADB is working?
My guess is that you're using one of the Eclair based roms, in which usb-pc didn't work.
Try downloading mountusb from the market.
Yeah sorry i can flash roms through recovery, but no adb, computer doesn't recognise the phone.
I can connect in fastboot and all works to pc in that, I have modaco 3.1 and have used all versions of his Rom, problems started around version 2.5 or so.
Ive also tried mount usb! Might have to send back to htc!
If you put your phone into fastboot and connect, can you then run an RUU against it?
Regards,
Dave
Try another computer and see if it works
If your doing this at work, a lot of companies stop the USB ports from working.
Tried another computer and doing the ruu in fastboot, its my home pc so all usb ports work, ok pretty sure its the phones software and not a hardware problem! Thanks for suggestions!
Yeah. It's a software issue, as you can use the HEROIMG.ZIP method (search here or modaco) from the microSD when you hold vol.down + power. You also get normal fastboot. So no hardware is broken
But... Nothing I've seen mentioned can fix it. Flashing seems to do nothing. I guess there is some NAND somewhere that needs a wipe/reflash (probably the same NAND that stuff like the IMEI is stored in, but that's just a guess at the architecture). If we could find the NAND, we could compare a dump between a broken and working phone and see...

it doesn't see it or says "no drivers found"
which os are you using
i can charge and usb mount even without drivers ...
It doesn't know what it is so doesn't install correctly. It's Windows 7 I don't have an issue with the druvers it worked fine before.
See http://android.modaco.com/content/h...om/300825/usb-device-not-recognized-solution/ on modaco. It's worth a shot, but bear in mind I think it will wipe /data. Might be hard to do a nandroid before though with no SD (as many people experience with this issue)
Well, I have the same problem with my hero and I have original rom, my hero isn't even rooted...
Hi all, for all the people like me who do not have the patience or knowledge do adventure themselves in the mitty thread.
This program already exists for X1, HD2, TP2 (for what I know) and I have tested it and it works.
After some search on this forum I have talked to agent_47, who was kind enough to make a task29 program for our HTC Diamonds (GSM version).
Agent_47 or me do not take any responsibility for ay damage done to your device. Use it at your own risk, and only after you have HSPL already installed on your device.
Do not know what a HSPL is, check here:

now we can mtty our "HTC Diamond" without having the need of MTTY and its drivers
INSTRUCTIONS:
- download and unzip
- run then ROMUpdateUtility.exe and wait for it to finish.....
- device will reboot but will neva go past the bootscreen coz there is no OS to boot
- take our batti and then flash a rom using mSD card or by taking device into bootloader and using customRUU to load ur favorite ROM

WHATS TASK29\MTTY
when u flash a rom, you are copying files onto the internal memory (like duh!) but if u repeatadly flash different roms, sometimes files from older version stays behind as when u flash a rom, you just copy and sometimes overwrite files without deleting the older ones. hence at times these older files may create bugs\instability. hardrest donot always fix it.so we use MTTY
but the thing is, mtty is and can be hard to use for new users. ... for me,, i was having the worst time installin the drivers needed to run mtty on win7 x64. so u i made this tool for me and for all

and I would add to agent_47, as he adapted this tool for the HTC Diamond

Thanks for the share and all your hard work but this is actually harder than mitty for me and i am a windows 7 user also

I do not understand how this is possible, I am using Vista and this is as easy as flashing a ROM with a computer. You just connect the device via USB to the Diamond, let active sync finish. Then you just need to run "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" and follow the instructions.
I have tested this, and I can confirm this is working for the European HTC Diamond (bought in Portugal).
This was not made by me, but I do think that more people will benefit with this program. Hopefully people will overcome the initial resistance to change.
Great idea!
I used to MTTY through VMWare Windows XP x86 within my host Windows 7 x64. It was a pain in the ass to get though but it always worked for me. This is a great time saver!
Regards to both of you Johev and agent_47!
Willing to test on my next flash.

What do you mean? take out battery?
Gonna try this with my next flash
Yeah, the sentence is a bit odd to me to
i asume it means take out battery but still..
i'm not gonna try it until i know it for sure!
--edit--
i couldn't help it and used it anyway..
i assumed "take our batti" means take out battery cuz it worked for me!
my diamond was clean (i guess) and i'm now enjoying a new rom!
Thanx guys!!
I would never post something that I did not test first.
I am glad that you liked it, and I really think it is much simpler then the mitty thread.
Good luck flashing.

I LOVE THIS TOOL
this isn't good for my ORD.. i'm flashing the hell out of my diamond now!
Getting a HD2 in about a month.. can't wait for it ;D
I tried it, but I only get the start screen with "Touch diamond", no bootloader.
But I´ve installed HARDSPL Olinex, because I already flashed other ROM´s.
How can I solve this problem?
What about battery? When I have to get it out, when I can put it in again...?
fibula
to get into bootloader you have to reset your device while holding the volume down button!
then you will get the tri-color screen,
connect your diamond to your pc and flash a rom with a RUU!

To get into bootloader with my diamond:
1) Turn Diamond off, take out battery for 5 seconds.
2) Put battery back inside, and press and hold the centre button (circle) and turn ON the device (hold both buttons) until you see a 3 colour screen
If step 2 does not work, try pressing holding volume down while turning the device on (hold the ON button too). Remember to take out the battery before you do this.
Hope this helps.
Hi!
Does this work by simply copying any ROM's nbh file (instead of radio*.nbg) to folder and executing ROMUpdateUtility.exe? Will it MTTY before flashing the ROM?
Currently I'm trying this method out. It is around at 50% of flashing progress.
I'll report back.
Cina.
thanks a ton dude.... magnificent work...
Now if there were only a way to do it directly from Internal Storage, without RUU...
It does not work the way I described. It hangs on HTC Diamond black boot screen and no red lines appears in lower right corner (no OS recognized).
So you have to flash 2 times. Radio flash is shorted for the first attempt and on the second turn you flash your ROM with CustomRUU.
There is a similiar tool like this with the method working with other devices I described above. FlashaholicRUU. Someone give it a try for Diamond. Next week I'll do it and report back.
Cheers,
Cina.

I remember to see that post on xda developers front page short time ago, but I was not sure if it would work for HTC Diamond.
A universal task29 that would format and flash the device in one single process.
Ironically it was developed a few weeks after I have found an alternative way to mitty that I posted here.
So far I did not hear that it was compatible with Diamond, so I will not risk it.
It's nice to have all these options, because when I searched for something like this a few months ago, I could only find the mitty threat that has more than 80 posts.
For me it was strange as newer devices with very similar hardware and software already had something like this, but Diamond users had to use mitty.
Well I am glad that you like it, and hopefully I helped someone that was not able or willing to do it manually.
Hello,
i've got a problem like the title says. Everytime i connect my phone to the computer via usb, i get the message the device wasnt recognized by the computer. i tried everything i know, another usbport. etc. i want to install a new radio, but without connecting to the computer it isnt possible, because i dont have the usb debugging active.
i hope someone has an idea what i can do. i have rcmix 6.1.0.1 installed.
Are you using Windoze?
If you are unfortunate enough to be doing so then you might need to reinstall HTC Sync program (sometimes it works better if you completely uninstall it first including manually removing any left over folders and files in the application data folder.
thanks for the quick answer.
i tried it, but it didnt help. where is this application data folder? do you mean on the computer? i found after uninstalling no more folders from htc.
and yes i use windows home premium 64bit.
got another idea? now it says also the device does not function properly. i hope that nothing on the device is broken.

yes he is talking about your computer... if in the "program files" you hasn´t anythink about HTC SYNC,, ALL IS OK...
but enssure that in the configuration panel-system-dispositive administrator you hasn´t any drive installed for your android device... if you have installed it, erase or uninstall it before re-install htc sync or the htc drivers....then you can re-install and reboot windoux...
and hey buddy!I recommend to you to consider to pass to linux, you will not have this type of mistakes... LOL
UBUNTU is great!
I'm afraid I don't know much about Windoze but memory serving appication data is a hidden folder so you will need to change it to view them and is in the Documents and Settings / [Your username] directory.
Device not function is just a default Windoze error when it can't install something, ignore it, your phone is fine.
If you have reinstalled HTC Sync, try a USB port on the opposite side of the PC. So if you trying ones next to each other on the front, try ones on the back (they use different headers on the motherboard).
If that doesn't work then I'm afraid I probably won't be of much more use, sorry.

thanks guys for your help, but although i followed your advices, except the one to switch to linux ;-), it hasnt got better yet. the problem is still exsisting and i dont know what else i can do.
anyone got an idea how to install radio without having usb debugging and the drivers from the computer?
Hi!
I've got the same problem with 2 different PCs, one with Win7 64-bit, the other with Win XP PRO.
Other devices work fine with the same USB ports, so i doubt it's windows or the PC...

you can´t flash any radio if your phone is not recognized
well.. Let's continue with the problem in question...
1.At some time could you have connected it?with the stock rom maybe?
2.have you tried to swich on mass storage usb mode?what´s the result?
3.when you tries to swich the phone for flash some radio you enables "usb debug"
and "only chargue"?
its a weird problem
Hey man, I've had the same problem with my old Desire (normal). Which was actually broken.. Went back to the store twice and it was sent to htc twice. But that one wasn't rooted tho. But in the end, the sensors were broken & something inside the phone that didn't recon the pc. But also try a full wipe, which helped temporarily for me.
1. yes i functioned, not only with stock rom, but also with the next few custom roms. but then 2 weeks ago the problem occured and i dont know why. before i used custom roms for months.
2. it also doesnt recognize the mass storage anymore, i dont see the memorycard as a storage device in explorer.
3. yes i turned usb debugging on and connected charging only, i flashed radios before. but the problem with the actual is, that my signalstrength is weak and so i wanted to flash the recommended for this rom, and so i recognized there is something wrong, cause my problem here occured.
normally i sync with myphoneexplorer so i didnt realize that mass storage didnt function anymore.
and because earlier i got no problems, i think more and more, that something on the phone went wrong.
maybe it helps if i go back to stockrom and undo all changes i made, to start all over again?
again thanks mate for your effort to help me out

Hey man, I've had the same problem with my old Desire (normal). Which was actually broken.. Went back to the store twice and it was sent to htc twice. But that one wasn't rooted tho. But in the end, the sensors were broken & something inside the phone that didn't recon the pc. But also try a full wipe, which helped temporarily for me.

1. yes i functioned, not only with stock rom, but also with the next few custom roms. but then 2 weeks ago the problem occured and i dont know why. before i used custom roms for months.
2. it also doesnt recognize the mass storage anymore, i dont see the memorycard as a storage device in explorer.
3. yes i turned usb debugging on and connected charging only, i flashed radios before. but the problem with the actual is, that my signalstrength is weak and so i wanted to flash the recommended for this rom, and so i recognized there is something wrong, cause my problem here occured.
normally i sync with myphoneexplorer so i didnt realize that mass storage didnt function anymore.
and because earlier i got no problems, i think more and more, that something on the phone went wrong.
maybe it helps if i go back to stockrom and undo all changes i made, to start all over again?
again thanks mate for your effort to help me out

you´re welcome companion
i reded in a spanish forum ( www.htcmania.es ) about your problem and there´s people that had the same problem with a S.GALAXY S & desire HD...
someone was solved it fullwiping and formating (in the paragraph of mounts & storage into CWM) and flashing another ROM... then they formatted their sd card with a card reader OF THE PC... later they was formatted the sd card from the pc and the problem was disapeared successfully...
BUT if it persists i think that you should (mi suggestion) send your machine to the thecnical service....
ok, will try this today evening when i'm home. if this doesnt work i will reset it in the orginial state and send it to the technical support. i will leave a comment if i was successful, perhaps this will help others with the same problem.

oops!!don't say anything LOL! you lose warranty...unroot and disable custom recovery...of your phone flashing an official ruu and then do S-OFF... ITS sufficient..

weird!!! can it be possible?
EDIT:I´M using a NOKIA N97 genuine cable and works perfect... LOL
Hello guys!
I am noob right now. I just bought an used rhodium100 and I am trying to install a new rom on it. It has a different language, one that I do not understand.
So I read and read, and I download HardSPL app, RUU, and I wanna get it going when I realize that my phone is not recognized by my computer, nor by a laptop of a friend (both using windows 7). So my question is:
Can it be something wrong software wise that does not allow to connect to the PC or is a hardware thing for sure?

Are you plugging it in while in bootloader mode, or while in WinMo? Bootloader mode = tri-color screen where you flash.
Honestly, I would flash via SD. Much easier, no need to worry about drivers or any of that nonsense.
Thanks dude for that quick response.
I tried in both ways. As I said, I tried not to be a complete total noob and I read and read.
I tried to flash it via SD card, but I guess the previous owner did not HardSPL it, so when I reboot it in bootloader, it just goes to the screen "Loading..." and it freezes. I've let it over night but it just drained the battery and no progress.
Any other idea?

You should be able to HSPL from the SD. You just can't revert HSPL from SD.
Also, you can tell at the tri-color screen if it's unlocked or not - if you see anything about OliNix, it's unlocked.
well,there was nothing about olinix. So it's not unlocked. Can you tell me how to HSPL it from the sd? Can I then install the ROM via sd card? I do not need to revert the spl.

read some of the posts on that thread but I could not find anything about hardspl via micro sd. if it's not too much of a trouble, can you be more specific of what should I do?

It's on that thread. You basically flash HSPL with SD. I could be mistaken, and you can only relock with SD? I can't remember. If I recall correctly, you can only go one-way with flashing via SD....
Nope. Couldn't find anything... guess I better get started to learn Netherlands' language...

You should be able to change the language, but I would sort out why you can't flash. That's pretty crippling and IMHO makes a useless device.

Come on dude! Please can you tell me how to change the language? any cab file... or how? at least until I can find out if the usb or whatever can be fixed...
Sorry for my dumb joke
I do not have any clue how to fix your problem, it might be a software related, a cable issue or even the MB/connector could fail.
You could translate the rom using a cab file, but this isn't easy and requires a lot of resources and knowledge.
Feel like I am going nuts! Well...what can you do?
I'll stop latter by a service shop...to see what can they do...

I had somewhat of a breakthrough: I run xdandroid on it, and it was connected to my computer while the android version(linux kernell I believe it is called) was loading and my computer started to install drivers and found a driver for XDA. So I do not believe it is from the connectors. It's something software related. What do you guys think?
Thanks!

XDAndroid is completely different. Please don't mix issues here - Android questions go in Android section, preferably in the build thread you're using. That probably does rule out a hardware issue with the USB port on the phone tho.
I would ensure that you guys have the right setup for flashing. Make sure you try different USB ports, different cables, etc. Triage.

I understand that. I just said that the connectors are OK. Working. If android can connect so should original ROM load, or at least that's what I think it should.
I just hate that neither in active synch nor in bootloader mode can't connect it. Is there any program that facilitates the connection?

Nothing shows up in Device Manager? Have you tried looking at hidden devices? I've never really had a problem with the computer detecting it.
nothing shows up. Just like it was never or is never connected.
I am running now xdandroid. at least I understand the language.
But I would like the windows mobile OS because I have some programs that only run on it.
Well... is there any way to fully delete the memory? the ROM memory? wipe it clean?
It may help I think... :-?
