Have the ROM images been removed? - About xda-developers.com

Yesterday I was following links through the wiki for the Hermes ROM images but today many of the pages are coming up blank?
I have noticed (and signed) the petition is this a temporary problem or are the pages an indication that MS have applied pressure.
Just getting started too. Could anyone shed any light on this?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
They won't have been removed because of M$'s request, things went quiet on that a while ago...
If you post a few links (to the posts) or post in the threads someone can have a look; but the images have probably just been taken down by the OP.

Actually all of the tables for kaiser and hermes roms are blank right now....check it out.

Problems with THIS website???

Hi there, I've been having a few problems navigating this web-site.
When I want to re-edit a wiki post that I added a couple of weeks ago, I get a 'Page not found' error when I hit the EDIT button, even though the page can be viewed.
Also, when searching for something, sometimes I also get the 'page not found'
Also, when searching, if I get a lot of results (more than a page worth), the first page displays all hits, then when I click page 2, 3.... etc. it says 'no matches to your criteria' or somthing like that.
HELP MEEEEE?!?? :shock:
Maybe this is the problem : Using IE 6.0.2900
The wiki error is a know one and has been reported but I for one have read nothing about it.
The site is under going an upgrade so the search problem could come from there.
UPDATE
Wiki probelm has been solved (well its thought it has), info out of the moderators section.
Please confirm
Hi there,
Checked everything (edit, search, links that did not work before).
Everything seems to work fine now!
Thanks!

I've noticed that when there are tables in the Wiki, the fields are not all there? Is this post incomplete (there seem to be a lot of tables like this)?
In my browser, there are a lot of empty cells, and like 1 in 50 has some text in it.
Or did I happen upon another bug?
Thanks

WM6 for T-Mobile Dash - UI Test Build - BETA

Yes this is the real thing!
I can't believe how long it took for this to get out to the public finally. This is works (so far for over 1 week) great on my T-Mobile Dash. I didn't need to CID unlock it or anything (though i believe I tried application unlock app and that didn't seem to have worked). This is T-Mobile branded so if you have a different carrier there MAY be some modification required for proper function...though I wouldn't really know since I use T-Mobile -
This thing has it all working so far except the T-Zones in WINWAP. It tells you this version of WinWAP is not supported by tmo..if you are testing you are using an unregistered version and you should contact your test lead to get it registered...No biggie because you can access your account info via the new IE browser.
The new IE Browser is quicker and more functional in general. You also get Live! Search for 411 directory (which can dial/add to contacts directly from there!!!!) also Satellite and road map/GPS/directions/traffic... oh yes no bull... It has Windows LIVE! messenger and email integration to your home screen which is still buggy (gives error and you need to change to another home screen). Tmobile Blue home screen works fine...though there is a BETA stamp in the lower right corner (Also a big red UI TEST BUILD notice when you turn on the phone...oh well).
Anyways...I'm sure you've read all about the new features forever and been pissed that a couple of leaks for other version were out but not our beloved Dash. Here it is guys...Oh yes not a virus either.
Just one bit of advice. BE PATIENT DURING THE UPGRADE !!! It may look like it freezes at some points, but trust me it didn't.
File named RUU_Excalibur_TMO_US_1.20.531.1_4.1.13.34_02.79.90_Test.exe and it is 44.7 MB
Since I can't attach it here to the post I am posting the link to a torrent site which I've...yeah...well it's there and it works:
http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/1061423/4574331/
If for some reason the link doesn't work go to the main webpage and search...if you STILL can't find it...you don't need to be upgrading your phone - you'll probably break something lol
fo a second there i thought you had a different beta rom this has already been posted but thanks anyways!
thanks for posting a link, but this has been discussed in this forum for two weeks and there are a few threads that discuss different aspects of this rom. you really should do a little research as you will find fixes for a few of the small bugs you are no doubt experiencing
argh...I searched and didn't see any thread clearly saying there was something for the excalibur...maybe I should have looked closer. Sorry guys, but hey - it's another source to download it from I guess. Hopefully someone finds this useful.
Didn't mean to make it seem like I released something "newer" -
oh well - This site rox

Black Majik Download

Hi,
Does anyone still have a working link to Black Majik? Ive tried what must be 30 different ones and they are all dead now
Thanks
Frankly, did you miss this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316755 ?
Refrain from starting threads for topics that are widely discussed already.
P.S. Links in post#1 work fine.
i thought i would like black satin but i dont. i dont see the speed increase most people see. and i have the same issue i've had with all the black issued roms. when the phone first boots and i press the start button, it takes forever the first time to register. same thing with the softkeys. after the inital press its fine though.
i have no idea why it does that
Hey guys, I'm sorry, I thought it was about the Black Satin. Pls, do not consider my previous post.
I got a spare copy which you will get here:

Complete Guide To Hacking, Tweaks & Mods For PDAs

Hi
I have been on this forum for awhile since I got my first PDA (XDA II) about 2 years ago but only a few months ago did I register when I got tired of waiting for other people to ask questions for the answers that I wanted.
Now I have an XDA Orbit, and all of these new terms are popping up... such as USPL, CID, etc.
Because I took a long break from the forums I need to catch up with everything, and thats very difficult since its hard to make out what people are talking about and referring to when talking on the forums. I can't really comprehend what people are saying because they are talking about things that I dont know (lol). I have looked through the wiki and it doesnt explain everything, and the acronyms section doesnt contain much.
Although the WiKi is a fantastic place where people can share their ideas as a community, I was hoping that someone could maybe upload a guide such as a text file explaining everything, including terms, what certain things are used for, etc.
One thing that confuses me is that someone managed to get a leaked WM5 rom that 02 use to unbrick devices. From what I've heard dumped ROMs are exactly the same except they cannot bypass the bootloader.. could someone explain why this is? What would be the point of the dumped ROM if it cannot bypass the bootloader - surely you wouldn't be able to flash the ROM?
This is just one of many questions I have - but by having everything explained I hope to work out answers for myself using the knowledge gained from learning all these technical terms.
Thanks for your time.
Well, as much as I know...
CID = Country ID and is used to 'lock' the device to a certain country/vendor id so that any other ROM downloaded to the device would render it useless, sometimes this screws up the bootloader and 'bricks' the device... much like a sim-lock with other carriers, but more serious.
USPL = A program used to circumvent the CID lock by providing a temporary SuperCID, so that other ROMs can be flashed without the aforementioned bricking. It has to be flashed to the device before any 'exterior' ROM download.
These terms have all probably come about after the release of B&B4 ROM by tom coden, which I must say is brill!
Hope this helps,
Pete
Thanks for the info, CID locks I assume are being put on newer PDAs since the XDA II or XDA IIs didnt have these measures?
I would guess so, although I haven't added cooked ROMs to any other device as yet...
Sorry to scrutinise every answer (lol) but does 'cooked' mean that the extended ROM has been edited? or is that baked ROM?
Not being the expert on this I assume a cooked ROM to be one that has been put together, more likely meaning one that is not from the original vendor.
E.g. HTC cooked a ROM in the first place, then O2 edited it and cooked their own etc...
Anyone? Am I right?
well from how i have seen it used over the last few days since i joined, i was assuming "cooked" meant hand made or modified by someone other than the device vendor/manufacturer/Microsoft
Yeah pretty much!
Come on everyone to organize wiki
I agree that it is very hard to get into this... I have been studying for hours these late days...
I just read the 2 necessary steps for begginers:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=FAQ
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueAngel_For_Beginners
I strongly recommend them!
back to the wiki... I think that we should be writting more there and try to be more organized and cross-linked.
Some kind of tree structure would help a lot.
Besides some topics (like the one for BA above) should be generalized to give basic ideas for all devices.
I am quite new to wikis but I feel that we should exploit/collaborate more this resource.
Regards.
Thanks for those links, they are very helpful! I managed to get a read of a few useful links aswell - they were in the Himalaya section...
Also, does anyone know how I can get rid of the notification that displays your balance after making/receiving a call?
e.g. Receive a call, talk or whatever, close the call, then the message: 'Your Balance Is £283.39' (lol just an example im not really that rich hehe) comes up. I was thinking I would have to tweak the registry to remove that..it must autodial the number that displays balance automatically after making a call.
Thanks

6.1 sms Threading time issue. Cab Fix?

Ive searched all over this forum, but i havent found any1 else w/ this problem.
I have the kavana 6.1 rom (best one to date) on my excalibur. Everything is great, but i noticed when i receive a text from someone, it will look like this:
person1: (8.08 pm) :
hey !
me: (8:06 pm) :
whats up !
As u can see i obviously responded "after" the person, but my time is logged as though i sent the message prior to them. sometimes this screws up the order when i go back into earlier convos. I tried jumping my clock ahead 3 minutes, works for like half a day, then it starts f'in up again. And no, i am not texting someone out of the country. Thanks in advance. And if someone has already posted this problem, i apologize
oops
i didnt mean 2 post the thread twice, i thought when u click on post you would get a chance too preview it before confirming
ive seen a thread similar to this not sure if it was the same device/program/rom but coud be a similar issue.Anyway good luck
I cant upload the link for some reason but search for time stamp issue
