To make sure i will not loose my warranty,and to spare myself the trial and error of cooking my own uploadable rom from a dump:
Is there someone that has an official Samsung English language (not telco branded) WM 6.0 ROM ? (And has put or can put it on a file server)
That would be a great help.
me too.
to eliminate the freezing problem i need the original ROM.
anyone?

if warranty is your only issue (and its clearly not in your case
i had my screen fail me and i had sent my unit back with one of EFN cooked ROMs.
i even told/wrote on the error report that it was a screen error, and not to reflash.
Guess what? warranty was not affected, my screen was replaced without me having to pay a single cent.
We are probably luckier in Singapore...
Curious what my other issue is...
If you mean that I probably have reasons to claim warranty, there are none yet. But I had some issues with my i600 and got a replacement. That kind of service i would not like to void.
I tried many other ROMs, even some older EFN's ROMs but I had issues with WiFi, GPRS, MicroSD... I'm on C4 and no problems at all (original WWE, WM 6.0, both PDA and radio parts).

Great! Many thanks.
Now I can tinker with all homebrew roms with a fall-back scenario.

I recently upgraded my O2 Xda Exec with the imate JJ rom (ROM Version: 1.30.82 WWE). But after a hard reset, I keep getting the following error:
Code:
Can not run on this device.
Upon investigating, I have discovered that the pocket arabizer cabs are installed during the customization after a hard reset. The similar rom (and the mentioned cabs) are working flawlessly on my other universal (imate jasjar) but on my O2, i keep getting the above error (i.e. can not run on this device). Is there a way to get the arabizer cabs to working nicely with my O2? Help in this regard would be appreciated.
help, please help. just say something. just kiddin'
hopefully, someone will come along and offer some valuable help.
T-Mobile is doing the same thing
My T-Mobile MDA Pro is doing the sme thing, it must be a way to tell the ROM that my T-Mobile is a JasJar...and I have used the "no_ID" and it did not work...
HELP
The imate roms (dont know if only from the Jasjar) have something builtin (don't know if cab file in extrom or in the rom itself) that only allows installation on imate jasjars. I think its some sort of list or program which checks the imei.
My observations so far are:
1. I have tried a custom extended rom, specially designed to avoid any cabs that might check the imei. This meant using a custom config file and autorun file from O2.
2. Only IMEI checking cab I have found so far is the 'Default_CAAVPPC_IMEI_2.6.80_range.cab' -- it is CA Antivirus software. I think it checks the IMEI.
3. I have tried with certain telco provided cabs (e.g. Mobily, Etisalat_UAE, etc.), to see if this works. It doesn't.
4. What does Install_tsk.exe do?
5. I have tried with different rom, but extended rom from imate JJ, but that doesn't work either.
6. Is there a way to fix this problem? I have seen this problem with several other people in this forum, but no concrete solution is found yet.
7. Can somebody else confirm that, indeed there is some IMEI checking in the imate roms?
8. being able to use the imate JJ roms on O2 indicates that there is no IMEI checking in the ROM itself.
9. Help is desparetly needed. :roll:
S.D.
JasJar on T-Mobile
I have tried everything since I got my T-Mobile and I installed like 100 ROMs trying to make my T-Mobile MDA Pro thinks that it is a JasJar...but no luck...
I have installed the WWE JasJar with no problem, I think the problem is installing the ME version with Arabizer and the AntiVirus software...and yes it does check the IMEI number...
My T-Mobile now officially an O2 but it seems like it refused to think that it is a localized version of the iMate JasJar.
Is there a way that makes my T-Mobile thinks it is a JasJar????
this seems to be an issue with a lot of people. can we have some experts to help us out?
IT CAN NOT BE DONE...SORRY

I think that the "Arabizer" developers had locked in the software to work only on the iMates...with specific IMEI numbers, I have installed the WWE ROM on my T-Mobile and it works fine but when I install the ME ROM it does not work...
I AM GIVING UP...
I've read through the WWE thread and still haven't managed to find people's experiences with this ROM and their UK Orbit's.
Can people please post any issues, and more importantly if I'll brick my Orbit (as from the shop so unsure whether CID locked / unlocked) if I follow the steps in the original thread?
Thanks.
I had no luck. I'm waiting for WM6 ROM from O2 UK to get the phone working again as I can still access the bootloader.
Same for me. Followed all the steps, but still my phone bricked. Mine was CID locked, but because there were several succesful upgrades on CID locked devices I also tried it. I'm also still able to enter bootlloader, so just have to wait for retail WM6 ( have no RUU signed update to restore my device )
I moved from a Orbit with a HTC P3300 Rom (CID Unlocked) to a WM6 Bebe Rom at the first attempt.
It's so much quicker than the WM5 Rom. It's a lot more stable.
If you want me to post the steps and a Apps I've tested I'll do so tomorrow.
I couldn't get Bepe's to load with the boot loader, but the next part with the windows.nb file worked..........
Sort of, I think the bluetooth is not working properly as I can't create a port to allow me to sync with my pc. Apart from that it is working fine. (Touch wood)
doesn't seem worth the risk...
sounds to me like it isn't worth trying at the moment then! shame cause i want to get wm6 running but would rather not have a bricked device ... and the odds look high!
come on o2... where's our official rom?
I've just upgraded my O2 Orbit and it worked fine. CID unlocked it with IMEI-Check and then followed Bepe's instructions.
mmmm... fair enough but i just don't wanna shell out $20 to get a cracked rom...
If I am not mistaken is it not £20 as opposed to dollars I would pay a tenner but like you I will wait for £20
Does anyone know if HTC will require an actual P3300 IMEI in order to download the WM6 update when and if they release it?

probably, they will require you to give this to prove you have a HTC branded device. TBH they shoudl provide a ROMforAll no matter what provider you have you should be able to upgrade to a clean manufacture rom.
for those who have O2-Orbit UK and can access only bootloader, did U try to flash german WM6? just run file downloaded from german o2 (without any hexedits etc. just run xdaorbit-windows-update.exe). I think it should work, because CID lock is not to lang version, but for operator (02_01) and both UK and DE Orbit are ARTE2000. Worth a try. If it works let it boot to calibration screen plug usb cable and reflash using bepe's ROM. Let us know. I'm not sure if it'll work, I'm CIDunlocked.

Do you think the same would apply if you Hex edited ARTE10000 to ARTE2000? Sily question, I know, but is that the only level of security that actually looks for model ID?
in o2 ger image its already ARTE***** so u dont need to change anything (it means it shoul work for arte100,110,1000,200 models maybe 300 as well - htc love) But this is looking only for ModelID, in ROmUpdate Util it checks somehow for ModelVendor/Operator - addr:x0003BA6C - password BsaD5SeoA
I also "BRICKED" my Orbit. I am also the impatient type. Why wait for O2 to release a ROM image? I have spoken with O2 directly. My friend even works for their technical division. As far as I have been able to find out, from friends and his friends at O2, there is NO O2-UK WM6 in the pipeline at the moment. Not enough users apparently. When I found out this I put my Orbit into O2 shop for repair. It was flashed under warranty as a software fault. I have since CID-unlocked it and flashed to WM6.
Absolutely amazing. WM5 to WM6 is night and day. So much faster and a lot nicer looking too.

My experience: O2 Orbit bought in CZ. My way was: CID unlock -> try-and-brick (...) -> German original O2 WM6 ROM (with bootloader) -> Arte WM6 from bepe.
I am very happy now (extremly stable!) and at this moment I do not plan even upgrade to a new ROM.
Btw solved the issue with localization (keyboard only - Resco works perfectly) and external keyboard support for my beloved iGo Sierra bluetooth keyboard: AE Keyboard mapping SW solved my needs
MY experiences
Being a corporate O2 customer, when I bricked my Orbit they sent me a new one and said I could do what I wanted with the old one.. it's still a brick, having tried every suggestion on this forum!!!
MY new one, however, is running Bepe's WM6, having run the USPL first.
I tried Black&Blue, but found it drained the battery too quickly, and I reall ydon't need all the extras it comes with. I've got Bepe's WM6 running brillianlty - all I add is a cracked version of TomTom 6.02, which runs perfectly, BatteryStatus purely for a power display, no overclocking needed, and TodayAgenda for improved calendar on Today.
I use push mail to connect to my office exchange server, and have all my personal mail ending up at fastmail.net, where I connect to using IMAP - deleting from the phone deletes properly on the IMAP server now, unlike on WM5, so you really can have a synchronised mailbox usin IMAP and a free account at Fastmail.net...
I also have JetwareMobile installed to enable me to use my Siemens HKW600 Car kit (£40 on ebay, superb!), and I have some Sony DR-BT30Q bluetooth headphones which work perfectly...
I have a CID LOCKED UK o2 Orbit. I ran the USPL program by Prof and then Bepe's WWE ROM.
worked fine and WM6 is great!

Yes, but that doesn't work if you've already bricked your Orbit
Does anyone happen to have a WM5 ROM to restore to if the WM6 goes horribly tits up - I'm not overly looking forward to the idea of not having the pride of the mobile fleet working... the humiliation!
Hi,
I'm completely new to all this but I have done my best to try and figure it all out for myself but I'd still like to make sure I've understood a few things correctly...
I have an SFR s300+ bought here in France. The OS is WM5 and I'd like WM6.
I have allready tried out the "off"+"camera button"+soft reset to see if I needed to install a hard SPL : I do.
I've downloaded Des' Crashproof (due to the reassuring name) SPL.
I can now install that by following the guide without backing anything up yet (correct me if I'm mistaken)...
Once done I will have to copy all my important info and then I will be able to flash any ROM of my choice (English, French, official or not) is that right?
If I'm not mistaken and I can now install any ROM, which English ROM is the best?
I'd also like to know if I have to install a radio after this or will the one I have at the moment (that works fine) be preserved?
If I do have to install a radio which do you recommend for SFR in France considering I sometimes go to Spain.
One last question ; does installing an update to WM6 require a product key or registration of any sort like Windows on the PC or can I just flash and use freely?
If anyone takes the time to answer any of my questiions I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance.
Yes, install the ROM you like.
Best ROM? impossible to answer - lots of good ones about - try bepe black and blue karmba, mary - any recent English ROMS.
Although you do not NEED to install another radio - you probably SHOULD because your battery life under WM6 will be terrible with your current radio.
I would recommend 1.46.00.11 - although an radio from 1.41 upwards should be OK with SFR and on other networks in other countries. (I'm an SFR customer and connect in Belgium, France, Switzerland, Italy, UK etc.)
You will not need a licence key key to work with WM6.
Happy flashing.
Thanks for the answers!
Ok, well I'll give it a go when I'm a little less tired and report back...
One last thing, the battery life under WM6 comment got me wondering, is it worth the hassle (WM6 that is)?
I would guess so considering all the WM6 ROMs that people have gone to great lengths to make...
All opinions are welcome and appreciated.
Hello everyone,
sorry for posting this noob questions here, I see that you all are discussing software development and stuff, but it is the only place I've found to ask about it.
My situation: I have a Dell Axim X51v wich is still on warranty and CompleteCare (until march 2009!). It has a WM5 A04 Portuguese Rom wich is very unstable and quite lame (I don't like the system in portuguese!) and I'm looking forward to use the WM6 Football Rom, that everywhere I read says its very nice.
The fact is: If I had to call Dell for support, I'll need to give them the Ax with the WM5 Portuguese rom. I really consider this since the device isn't brand new and if something happens I don't want to loose it.
So, what I need to know is how (and if it is possible of course) to get the image of my Ax as it is now, to store in a safe copy on my pc or a cd, upgrade to Football's WM6 (wich version, btw? I see that there are RTM and Preview A06 on the thread) and then eventually get it back to my current rom, if I need to use the warranty. I know that the upgrade part is well documented around the internet, but the downgrade to the same or similar system is the major doubt.
I'll be grateful for any help. I'm new to all this and there are lots of knowledge around. Never had any experience flashing, just upgraded my ROM one time with the official procedure from HP, on my old Ipaq.
Thanks!!
I do not recommand to install the new file because they will broke dell warranty (I know you still come back to A12 rom but for potugal rom I don't know.
Well, I guess since you can flash a different language ROM of a different OS you could turn back to the other... or does there are problem flashing into an "older" version rom? (mine is A04 brazilian)
Anyway, thanks for the reply!
My WM5 is crashing frequently and I don't know why... I've installed some old dictionaries and maybe they messed it up. As I think on hard-reseting it, I consider the system upgrade, since WM5 is stupidly slow sometimes...
anyone else know about this rom switch-around?
I guess that if I have to call Dell, or my Ax is usable and I can switch the rom or it is unusable and probably they won't note that it was hacked! What about that?
Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me out with detailed instructions.
I am faily new to the world of PDA's and smart phones.
I just bought HTC touch Pro 2 from Telstra. Its all customised with Telstra/Bigpond.
My question is how can I remove Telstra customisation completely from the phone?
FYI,
Device Information.
Rom Version: 1019.841.3 (51489) WWE
Rom Date: 06/04/2009
Radio Version: 3.44.25.27
Windows 6.1
Your help would be highly appreciated. Also, could you please provide complete steps for the solution you provide.
Thanks for your help
Nothing much you can do. You can flash a custom ROM if you want to totally remove Telstra stuff.
Having said that there are some good stuff in Telstra ROM. Free web browsing to certain sites (BigPond, Sensis, Yellow Pages, Trading Post, etc.....) And there are free apps like WhereIs where the data download is not counted towards your usage. And there are 2 free apps Jetcet Print and Jetcet Presenter. The former for printing directly from phone and the latter for creating/editing Powerpoint slides.
But if you don't want any of these, you can always flash a custom ROM of your choice.
Yep just flash a custom rom simple
If you don't mind me asking, did you buy the phone outright or on a plan?
If outright, how much did you pay?
i'd like to get rid of the the telstra things too
phrak, i just bought mine yesterday at harvey norman, it was $1479 outright and with extended warranty (ex wty was 99)

Well you can always flash a cooked ROM if you like. I haven't yet as I'm quite happy with the Telstra ROM. I don't like the purple color theme so I installed another theme. I am quite happy with what I have got so far. Would wait for Telstra WM6.5 upgrade and see if it is any good.
You can manually remove Telstra items by editing registry

Hi Guys
anyone know how i can get back my Original Telstra rom !

Touch Pro 2 Sprint on NextG
Hi I just got a Touch Pro 2 Sprint CDMA GSM version from the USA. I know you'd probably wonder why but because it has the inbuilt 3.5mm headphone jack. I unlocked everything on the phone and changed the radio to the 2.05.00WU (USCC test edited) version, changed the ROM to try the 6.5.3 energy rom. I know the phone supports CDMA 850. But aren't sure if it's now possible to get it to work on NextG.
Is anyone able to confirm if it's possible? I think it runs on the CDMA2000 1X 1900/800 band. And from what I've been reading it mightn't support the 2100 band, so mightn't be able to get it to work at all.
I'd like one with the headphone jack but like the keyboard also. Don't really want a Touch HD2 thought they would be alright with the 1Ghz CPU.
My problem is the Telstra Next g version is a Rhod110, not Rhod100. This means that when attempting to put Hard SPL on my brand new toy it comes up with a "fatal error"... No way am I gonna try putting a new rom on without Hard SPL... Soft SPL just freezes the whole thing and the only fix is to pull the battery...
Its also a different series from the other touch pro 2 available, 7381, not 7373...
Guess I'm stuck with the bloated stock rom until Telstra releases a wm6.5 rom or a new Hard SPL or Soft SPL are conjured up....
Downloaded the file enablerapinew.cab, able to flash Hard SPL... SWEET....
I have the same problem !
Hi there, it sounds like Im in the same boat as you are or were... I also have a RHOD110 from Telstra but I want to upgrade it to win 6.5 and I'm just not sure which ROM will be applicable a) for this model or b) for the Australia service (3g)
I wonder did you manage to get this sorted out and would you be kind enough to give me any info that may help from your own experence ?
Thanks in advance !

Download & install enablerpinew.cab. You should then be able to Hard SPL.. I also have Rhod110 from Telstra.
Next G works fine, its a hardware feature so it will always pick up Next G, but you may need to get the GPRS settings from Telstra and manually input them.
Use Manual Hard SPL if auto doesn't work, just need to install enablerpinew.cab 1st, and only once... After that any rom works finre...
Cheers...
