Hi Everyone,
I have Xda Orbit by O2 bought in 2007, used it for only few months and since then it's been sat there in the box, have just started using it again and needed to put a bigger card (I have never used any memory card in it, and it dosn't even detect my SanDisk 4gb SDHC), now after all the search, it says i'd have to put a newer version of windows mobile in it, mine one is on WM5.
O2's website won't provide me with an update as they only have new XDA's listed on their website. upon my research i have found out on this forum that by putting this file called "SDHC-Artemis.cab" would make SDHC 4gb up and running, now the question is will this .cab file work on WM5? Where from i get it and how do i install it?
Plus any suggestions on how can i upgrade my WM5 to WM6 as i don't have any genuine copy of it, are the ones available around some cracked versions or something?
Many thanks in advance!!!
did u get your phone from the UK??
try this thread....I just flashed it today, works perfectly!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455130
You may want to upgrade the radio rom to 3.34.90
...and I have no idea about the SDHC issue.
Thanks Klee, Yes i bought the phone from UK around Jan, 2007. Just called O2people but they said they can't do anything, which was very bad, and we can't even go to the manufacturer.
Sony Erricsson provides 3 years manufacturer's warranty even after your service provider stops.
well, have you tried putting in any bigger memory card after you have put WM6 in your phone?
which installation process did you follow, any tips? shall i use AutoSync which came with the phone originally?
Many Thanks for your help, Much Appreciated!!!!
by the way Would i have to Crack this windows or is it ready to go or something?
Basically first install activesync, run activesync and connect your phone to the computer
wait until your phone finishes syncing and all that, double click the exe file you downloaded in the thread I gave you earlier.... follow the instructions, after ~10 minutes, a working wm6 phone!
This is the official upgrade, so there is no need to unlock the phone first.
about the sdhc issue....I've never tried anything over 1GB, as I don't have the need for a bigger card, so I've no idea. I believe there is an SDHC cab somewhere floating around here, try searching for it
Hope this helps.
Thanks a lot mate,
this surely and definitely is helpful, i have downloaded the file, but haven't put it on the phone yet, as i don't have any spare phone for "just in case".
once i get a cheap standby phone i'll install it, very much looking forward to it.
and yes, i have thoroughly searched about the SDHC issue, and there is a patch available which i'll run once i have got WM6 sorted!
Kind Regards!!

Best Regards,

Hi there folks, being a newbie I am sure that I will get some abuse but nevertheless here goes.....
1) What is it with all of this ROM upgrading I keep reading about? I realise there are different versions but does it really make that much of a difference? If so, what version is the most up to date?
2) Does anyone know anything about TomTom? I have been given version 5 (Navigator I think), how does this differ from Mobile 5 version & why does my version not start up automatically when I insert the SD card into my PDA?
If any peeps can give me a bit of an insight in to these queries, I would be most grateful.
By the way this site is really cool, shame I have only just found it, time to catch up........

Firkin, if your sd card has a directory called "2577" and it contains the correct files then it should start automatically.
!) ROM upgrading .... its basicly all about fixing BUGS, improving performance etc ...etc... same as with a computer, your better off with newer files/programs than older ones (Well most of the time anyway)
Im an XDA 2i user and right now we are all screaming for a new ROM as there are a few problems with the current one.
2)TomTom 5 is one of, if not the best GPS road navigation systems about and will be similar for the Mobile version but i would think a little better.
I didnt know you could start a program up from just inserting the SD card but i might just look into that now lol.
Its ot really normal for a program to start up when you insert the SD card otherwise it might be slightly annoying, well i think so anyway.
Thanks for the info peeps.
As for the SD card/ Tom Tom application, just to clarify, the program doesn't start each time you pop the card in. What it actually does is install the program into your PDA device instead of you having to install the program via your PC & then activating it through your USB/serial link.
Thanks again & keep up the good work!
It seems after reading many posts about upgrading ROM's etc that it is a complete waste of time, as soon as you install the upgrade the users have a load of problems, with devices crashing/freezing/ bluetooth not working etc.... so what is the point. Surely you are better off with your original installation software than some unofficial upgrade meant for some other device.
If it ain't broke then don't fix it!!!
My tomtom card when inseted first time installs the program, each insert following this launches tomtom 5.
Have tried several different ways to install tomtom5 through sd card, phone is not unlocked and is xda mini s on 02. Tried through active sync, keep getting windows encountered problem. Then tried to install tomtom3 came up with same problem but i know this defo works on my old xda. Can get tomtom1 through active sync no problem. Can i update tomtom1 with totom5 update, then with the 521 cracked update.
I am just learning and new member to this site, working on this for 3 days. Please can anyone help as I will prob get divorced at this rate!
All my thanks
And Hi to everyone on the site

Copy the .CAB files to your memory card with a card reader (gps.cab, pimaddin.cab, ttn.cab, wzd.cab) then copy across your intended map. Fire up file explorer and run each of the .CAB files by tapping them - Soft reset and you should be good to go Info on setting up the GPS receiver can be found here, just use the search function and all will become clear! Hope this helps...

Hey,
I am trying to install tomtom on my MDA compact III. Actually, I had it before, and I had to hard reset, and now I forgot how to install it again.
I have the tomtom in the root of my sdcard. I have the 2577 folder with the autorun.exe there. After running it, Im supposed to go and create a new folder on the hard drive, copy something into it, and run the tomtom installationform there. I dont remember what that something is, can someone help me with that?
I was just going through the tomtom threads and they didnt really work for my problem (im not new to this forum).
no one knows??
come one guys, im sure many people did that same trick!!
I know...if you do a search there are like 500 posts in the whole of XDA Developers ...and 175 posts in Artemis returned, related to Tomtom. Surely someone must have an answer!!
I checked like 50 posts believe me, they talk about something I have done alredy! but there is something else im still missing, thats why im turning to a quick answer!
Just install via the CAB file. Its free from the HTC website (as you pay for the maps not the software).
Here you go, copy to your device and run it. You will need to provide your legitimate, licenced maps as its useless without them.

I went to the TomTom website, and logged in with my account deatils and downloaded the latest version, Tomtom PDA software (Through TomTom home).
I had to instal the cab file to the SD card, and reboot, after this it installed with mo probs.
Howdy,
Did a search but didn't find topic?
First mistake, Dnloaded and installed latest AT&T 6 Rom to me Hermes!
Second mistake, have Vista Home Prem (ugh!) Build 6000, and
had Windows Mobile Device Center installed and worked on Win Mobile 5. Could copy and paste files to SD card!
Installed on the new Rom, now I tick WMDC > Connect > GO to SD card > to paste file / app etc and get billies
"The copy and paste has failed. The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected!"
Even tho I can see files on SD card on laptop!
So I uninstall billies WMCD reboot laptop and reinstall WMCD and same error!
Now I can see the files on the SD Card, move the files around on the SD Card but no copy to SD card??????? I don't have a card reader as I used Win 5 and didn't need another reader!
Any suggestions, workarounds (besides getting rid of billies silly junk.)
Help please!

Hey thanks and fast reply,
I will try formatting sd card if I can find a way to back it up to something!
Does anyone know of a free online Back up site that I could back up sc card with Sktools bkup?
WOW have to much great stuff on it from xda forums!
I rally don't mean to add an off topic situation, but this also started when I installed the AT&T Rom. . .
The other problem that I just found out is that the sound is on, I can hear WM player out of device, but don't have sound for Skype with or w/o headset. As I can connect to call, hear the mic on called phone, the caller hears me but I don't hear the called sound on device or head set???? Im using fling and am connected with wifi, to Skype!
At least it's charging off usb sync, which is one thing that works!
If I can't discuss anothe problem with this New Rom here please move to right place and send a forward!
I really like this board, so I don't want to do anything wrong!
Thanks
Hey there,
I did a defrag SD card NO work!
Than I did a format
Connected (thats what it says but not what it does) and copy and past NO go. . . same error!
Tried to install Sk Tools, (from pc to device as before) and no go, same error of disconnected or what ever? And since I can't do a restore form pc to device, no copy, than None of my SD base apps work, Sk Tools, fling, etc!
So is the SD corrupt!
I vista corrupt (that's a dumb Q)?
Is WMCD corrupt that was working before my new Hard Drive replacement!
Or what?
Oh yea thank you for any replys!
I am also have the same problem.
Hello to all,
I am also have the same problem. Not with the sd card but with the build-in memory. I have installed the windows vista with WMDC 6.0.
I think this problem is with the OS or with the WMDC 6.0.
Because I have an another pc with windows xp installed and there is NO problem with it. Copy and past will work perfect.
I having HTC Wizard that is qtek 9100 with WM6, NBD 9.2 installed.
If any one find the solution please let me know also.
Also conection via bluetooth to WMDC 6.0 it also not possible trying to find the solution but no luck . It will work in fine with winxp but not with the vista.
Please help.........
Many Thanks
Srikanth.K
Madefree,
I would suggest a couple of things:
- flash a different rom to your device, eg a WM 6.0 from Schaps.
- review the MrVANX guides (www.mrvanx.org).
Let us know how you get on.

Thanks wacky banana,
Well at least I know its not the SD card as I tried another with the same irritating gates error message!
I uninstalled and reinstalled WMDC three times and still no file transfer> I have to do any transfers with a cardreader! So I don't know if I can do an upgrade on the ROM as I really want to (as ATT 6 was really a downgrade!)
Thanks. . . .
I went to that link and they are upgrading the site. The following is stated at the ever begining . . .
.....Now make sure your device is on and activesync (or for vista users the WMDC) is running on your PC, connect up your device and allow it to sync. When this is done run "RUUWrapper.exe":.....
RUUWrapper.exe wasn't a link to a download so I guess "searching" is on really first on the "how to" list!
Thanks for the links and the reply, greatly appreciate any and all help at this point!
Have a good one!
How to upgrade my Qtek 9100 (HTC Wizard)?
Hello,
Sorry I wrote wrong ROM version. It is NBD 9.2 installed, NOT NBD 9.3.
Thanks
Srikanth.k
Well DUH ATT 6 allowed me to copy to a file, but only to inside the SD card from the PC but not to the card directly (root) w/o a folder to put it in!
Active Sync works but not DUH WMDC (whatever) crashed twice in one day so Im stick with clicking on My PC > than on HTC device, than Active Sync works better than DUH other option billy made!
It's a vista thing all DUH way!
Hey wacky banana took you fine advice and downladed Schaps.WWM 6.1 Pro FULL ROM and with the excellent RRU packed with it got RID of ATT's "stuff"
Still can't transfer to root of SD, unless I do it thru a cardreader, but at least I don't have DUH branded bulk! Just need to delete (turn off duh startup sounds, so everyone around don't growl at me when I reboot!
Mighty fine ROM thx for the suggestion . . . . gotta do a donate!
Later!
Copy file worked!
Hello
The problem was with the K-a-s-p-e-r-s-k-y AV that I was been installed. It was blocking me to copy the files to my PDA. When I uninstalled the app it worked perfect without any errors.
Please anyone know which is the best antivirus.....
Thanks to all.......

as far as i know the only htc that supports sd flash is the wallaby. although you should find a cable for a reasonable price on ebay.
sorry misunderstood that, your first post is not very clear.

That is not correct. Lots of devices allow you to flash via SD card, including the BA. The only catch is that in order to prepare a card for flashing, you have to have the BA connected to the computer. There is a series of mtty commands that need to be input in order to get the card to be "bootable" for SD flashing. I will post a procedure I found the other day if there is enough interest.
BTW, ares93... this is not in the wiki...

i would appreciate, if you posted a confirmed way to flash from the sd card, because i am running windows 7 x64 and up to now, i have not managed to flash with it... or vmware, virtual pc xp mode or virtualbox for that matter. i would love to try that. even if it means, preparing the sd card with an xp machine for once, assuming that mtty does not work with 7 either, because of the lack of bootloader support.
and please don't post links on how to flash in windows 7, tried all of them, don't work for me.

if it wasn't in the wiki it's probably the reason i don't know about it.
a guide would be great 'cause i'm quite new to flashing pda's. i could use all the info i get cell's aren't a problem but with pda's there are so damn many variations... btw since you have to connect it to a computer to be able to flash via sd, doesn't it kind of kill the point of doing it that way? its designed quite stupidly don't you think?

Hey Chef,
Follow this link
http://www.mikechannon.net/PDF Manuals/HTC Blue Angel Service Manual.pdf
This is the service manual for the Blue Angel directly from HTC. Towards the end, there is a section that speaks about flashing a rom from SD. The only drawback is that you have to have your device connected to the computer, which kinda beats the whole point of using a SD card. I might take it for a spin just to see if it works.
thanks, i have linked that exact service manual dozens of times for people with hardware issues, but i've never actually read it, because i never had to open my device. i didn't even know there was information like that in there thank you, i will definetely give it a try, as soon as there is a new rom.
upgrade from SD card
Hi.
Well I read this forum since I have a Blue Angle but no cable. So basicaly I cannot connect it to the computer. I was thinking if somebody can prepare an SD card for upgrade than make an image out of it and share it, than maybe this will sort the threader problem. (And my too).
Thank you.
