CID Unlock O2 Xda Zest - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi does anyone know if it is possible to CID unlock the O2 Xda Zest.
I want to flash it with Iolite Rom on there (is that possible as the Xda zest is not manufactured by HTC).
Any comments much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You won't be able to flash an HTC ROM to the O2 Xda Zest.
The Xda Zest is very similar to the Asus P565, and if ROMs for this start appearing, they may be flashable, but I doubt we'll know until someone tries it. Since I can't afford to replace my Zest, I don't think I'll be the first.

I agree, i was very close to flashing a htc rom on my zest to but stopped at the last minute with fear of bricking my device.
ive tried using alternative software like throttle launcher and htc diamond touch flo skin for spb mobile shell. but dont compare to the simplicity and operability of the original touch flo, does anyone know of any other alternatives?
I miss the Touch Flo it was really great in my opinion. Do you know whether you can install just the Touch Flo software without flashing a htc rom?
Cheers!

Smart phone 930

Using an XDA IIs just as a wi-fi pda?

Hi,
I have an old XDA IIs that I don't use as my phone anymore. I just want to use it in the house on the wi-fi for net, skype and pda stuff.
What I'm wondering is, if I don't have to worry about the carrier (O2) because I'm not using it as a phone, then can I hack it a bit and improve the OS or is there something that you would recommend I do with it to maximize it's potential for non-phone use?
I guess if there is, then I have a few questions!
1. Would an alternative OS "find" all the features of the hardware? ie. camera/record/contacts/calendar etc. buttons and the keyboard?
2. Would it be worthwhile to install WM6? Would it be able to handle it? Is it possible?
I guess I'd just like to get the most out of it as it's a great device that could be put to good use instead of gathering dust in a drawer.
Many thanks for any replies in advance.
Cheers,
Rob.
1. only roms custom made for a pda will work unlike pc windows which include many many many various drivers then windows mobile only! have the drivers it needs and requires to work and or boot at all
2. yes http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=386
Hi again,
I've tried installing Windows Mobile 6 but I get this:
ERROR 100: MODEL ID ERROR
The ROM image that you are trying to use is not designed to work on your device. Please check the vendor website and download the correct ROM update.
Is there a way around this? Anyone experience this?
The XDA IIs is currently running: Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition Version 4.21.1088 (Build 15045.2.6.0)
Processor: Intel(r) PXA263
Memory: 125.77 MB
Should I just keep it at that, can I expect any better from an alternative/updated OS?
Thanks again,
Rob.
module id errror is typicaly if one try to install wm6 from another device then the one you own
"Should I just keep it at that, can I expect any better from an alternative/updated OS?"
there are only such a thing called alternative blue angel (the htc name of xdaIIs) os's no other will work
not sure what you mean by better i sugest you read the XDA-wiki and the blue angel wm6 forums for what people exp with these later roms
in terms of issues of incompatiblity and stablity
asking in those blue angel forums will also be a surden way of getting people who own the same device as you do to reply
Thanks for that Rudegar, I'll check it out!

Does Anyone Know if the HTC Touchflow interface will work on other devices?

Im quite new to this, but I read somewhere that the HTC touch and all the touch series are not real touch systems like the iPhone in that they also allow the use of a stylus.
Does this mean that they basically use the same type of screen as the other devices and as such the Touchflow system is just a Software trick ?
That led me to wonder if the Touchflow system could be flashed onto other devices I have an XDA Exec (Universal) and an XDA Orbit (not sure of the HTC designation for this) so Im specifically asking about these two devices.
Thanks in advance.
Touchflo!!
If you search threads for Xda orbit (HTC Artemis or HTC P3300) touchflo, you can download the ROM to replace the existing ROM on your Orbit and this will allow you to use the touchflo on your phone!
I've been using it for the past few months and it's all fine at the moment.
I hope that enough info for you!

HTC wing

I just got an HTC wing, and I was wondering what is the latest free windows mobile software that I can add onto it? And how? Can somebody out there kindly help me with this stuff. thanks.

Got another HTC can I use same software

I used to have a HTC Blackstone: Touch HD but I could not get used to not having a keyboard so I got the HTC Touch Pro 2 instead.
I had a Dutch Windows 6.5 (found on this forum) and HDWalls and everything. I wonder can I just install the same Windows 6.5 and HDWalls and do the HSPL again, the same way I did on the HT HD Touch.
Or do I need to research and download everything from scratch?
Thank you so much.
No, you must use the roms from this section on your rhodium. So start from scratch and read a lot
HDwalls can be used on any windows mobile device.
Ah, ok thank you so much, I was worried you were going to say that.
Oh, well...I will start reading
