Hello everyone, i am looking for a description of what each cab file installs in the JASJAR extended rom...
i have been searching for a long time and have had no luck...
hi, i would like to join this request
i will also join in on this quest to find out what these cab files do..
I made a start on the t-mob one on another post, and I looked at each cab file name, searched for it here, searched on google, then tried to suss it out, then installed it and wrote down what it did to the device by annotating a copy of the config.txt file.
An amateur way of doing it maybe, but I got quite a lot of info on the cabs for the mDA Pro in this manner.
Best of luck and in the end we can probably come up with an uber Ext ROM and pick the best out of the lot of them.
yes i found it and read that. you annotated some of them as dont know. i would hazard a guess in saying that TMO could possibly be t-mobile related applications??? i have seen the o2 version and they have a similiar naimg system for their own customisation!! just guessing, as soon as i receive mine i can start playing!
Yeah I was drinking lots of the old Nelson at the time, and it just got more difficult as the beers went down...
hi all,this is my first question on this site.This site is incredible for the wealth of info put forward by its member,credit to all you guys.i have flashed with a couple of the roms on my universal mainly tmobile and o2 and imate,but i desperately want to try the orange rom,does anyone know where i can download this from.thank you in advance.also praise due to buzz,what a techie,gr8 stuff.THANX
thats brilliant, i wouldn't have the guts to do that, just a few questions
1.Which ROM have you found the best out of the box? (from the 1st turn on)(added applications etc)
2.say you are on O2, were you able to still make calls/txt/mms on the other roms, (changing the settings etc maybe)
I have an Orange M5000 that im using as a bluetooth modem right now to use on the internet though GPRS (not in a 3G area)(only because u get 1gb allownce for the first 3months!), I would like to help you out with my ROM but i wouldnt even know where to start
THANX FOR YOU REPLY.I WOULDNT ASK YOU TO DO ANYTHING YET,i have done a lot on both the magician that i have and the universal.i have read a lot of discussion on these topics on this website.in my experience,if you are on a contract then yes you are dead right with what you say.at the moment on my device i have about 30 programs on it,it runs suitably fast enough for me.i have unlocked and unhidded the extrom and deleted it.i have an o2 exec running bits of tmobile and a bit of o2,because i have an tmobile sim.the unit is superb despite the neg comments on it,i have had masses of pdas and this is the coolest.currently i have xda exec,mda compact,fujitsu loox720(TOP CLASS PDA VERY DIFFICULT TO BEAT),TUNGSTEN T3,NOKIA9210,SHARP SL860.I would read more on here though because you can increase the confidence level and the level of knowledge u have.the way to do it is to unlock the extrom then soft reset,then unhide it then soft reset have u can see whats on your extended rom.i have an extra 10 meg now i am waiting for buzz god to find out how to delete the partition.the orange has the best today screen interface hence why i want to try it.the files can be copied onto a pc then zipped and posted.only try it though once you are comfortable.flashing roms onto the pda is far more gods will,wouldnt recommend that unless you are totally confident.
yes you can change the settings although i am happy with the config at the moment,easier just to install the extrom bits :shock:
Dear all,
I contacted HTC for my device upgrading and ROM updates, and they direct me to this forum.
I have a TyTN unlocked device, and want to upgrade to WM6. I explored all what you posted here but couldn't decide which version and link is suitable for me. Any way, here down my device information, and I'm appreciating any help to upgrade my device to WM6.
Device Information:
Device Name: HTC TyTN (Unlocked)
Language: English
Processor: SC32442A - 400MHz
Memory: 49.05 MB
System: Windows Mobile 5.0 OS 5.1.195 (Build 14955.2.3.0)
That are all information I could get from my device
Need Help my friends.
After all, I beleive that HTC should have an upgrade area to support their devices.
Thank you in advance.
Hi there!
its good to know that HTC assistants sent you here on this forum !!
I can suggest you to go for the wm6 image black 2.5 as its been always the most stable for me, so read the wiki and all the documents to upgrade your hermes to that version.
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=37&Itemid=26
and don't run in the upgrade, take your time to read everything and if you don't understand something, come back here.

It depends on your personal reasons for upgrading. If you want to upgrade because of more speed and more stability you should try Black 2.5. If you are doing it because of adventuresomeness you should give all of the great roms here a try.
But at least you should try Black 2.5, Duttys V2 and Custels 1.3 to find out which one is the best for you. You should also try different radios to see if theres a difference in your area.
And don't forget the most important object: read mrvanx upgrade guides very very carefully and follow every step exactly.
be aware that the ROMs here are *unofficial* and *unsupported* ROMs.
HTC will NOT help you out if you screw up your device.
if you are unsure about flashing, then stay with the stock ROM.
I have a UK unlocked Tytn and would very strongly recommend Black 2.5.
My first ever ROM upgrade was Black 1.2 and it was soo god. 2.0 was even better and 2.5 better still. Have had no problems, battery life is much better, doesn't lockup/freeze any more, loads more memory available.....i could go on.
Go for it - follow mrvanx's upgrade guide. he makes it very easy
Flashig roms is one way... be careful...
When I first flashed a WM6 Rom on to my HERMES I made sure I read all the preinstall instructions very carefully as I didn't have a clue about flashing. MR VANX's guide is excellent, follow it carefully and you can't go wrong.
I have now successfully flashed numerous ROMS on to my device.
No-one can tell you which is the best ROM as they are all excellent for their own different features and customisations. You will need to try a few and see which you like best.
Good Luck.
I highly doubt
That an HTC representative sent someone here for ROM updates to WM 6.0.
If they did and are caught, they will probably be terminated.
I deal with HTC regularly and they don't condone or encourage our methods of tuning and research.
Be careful out there.
Thank you
Thank you a lot for your replies guys. They helped me a lot. I'll do the upgrade and will back to you with the results. Thanks again.

It always amazes me how corporate structures can be so schizoid. I too have received- from in-the-trenches personel- a pointer to this site specifically for beta testing WM6 Push. Conversely, the moderators here made it clear that management at HTC was a major impetus behind MS's request that the ftp archives be pulled.
The kicker for me is that the Wiki on HTC's US site specifically points to this XDA-developers and those postings are all vetted by someone at HTC USA. I'm thankful for that because that's how I found this site in the first place.
My Upgrading Status
First of all, I would like to add my voice to (teambnet) that I'm thankful for them to made me know this website and forum in the first place.
OK, about my upgrading status guys, I did exactely as shown in mrvanx.org website and did install WM6 Black 2.5, everything is gone fine except one thing, that the button of contact voice tag is not working. When I push that button, it gives me a message "Error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename.", I tried then to assign the shortcut to a program by going to Start --> Settings --> Buttons, but I couldn't find the program that should be assigned. I don't know if my problem are clear or not but I tried to explain as much I could. Any suggestions to solve that?
Thanks all,
Reda,

I always suspected that secretly HTC were using us as beta testing guinea pigs, now it looks like I was right! And half of the fixes for their bugs are created by developers on this site.
Seriously though, if your Hermes is no longer covered by the original HTC warranty (as mine was from the very first day I got it, since I bought it from an "unauthorized" distributor), then HTC have nothing to lose by pointing someone to this site. They might as well have said, "Flush it down the toilet for all we care..."
John
HTC's wiki is just like ours, anyone can edit it... So i doubt that HTC themselves put a link to XDA on their wiki, but someone else probably did..
You need to install the voice commander CAB located on the first page of BLACK2.5 Then remap the button.
You should read thru the numerous posted before asked already resolved issues. Congrats on the UPGRADE!!!

Finally Finished
Hi all,
Thank you stuckes, I did as you told me and everything gone very nice. WM6 is a nice OS, not that much different from WM5 at least for me. But, it's nice. Thank you all for your help in that.
I got a question, when I would to upgrade, there are many versions of WM6, Black2.5 and other versions, where can I find a complete comparison with screenshots of them to decide if I'm gonna change to another one or stick to black 2.5?
Regards,
Arnie gets tough with the chefs.....

There's a black 3.0.1.
Easily found along with a list of many other ROMs on the wiki page here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Cooked_ROMs
And this is the link to the Black 3.0.1 thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305940
HTH, Oggy.
I know people always ask to go through the threads and titles to find an answer, but the truth is I only find bits here and bits there, and not sure what to do!
I wish someone could explain what are the steps to take to move from Wm5 to Wm6 (I like the Black version) on T-Mobile Vario II, with as little probs as possible.
What programs to download and where from? Which order to install them?
Also: are all Wm6 versions available 'pirates'? Why cant you download Wm6 straight from Microsoft (I havent found any links yet!)
A huge thanks!!!
Step by step?
I agree with the above! Any step by step instructions for beginners?
I concur. It's a minefield out there. Lots of advice but a lot of it contradictive and the occaisonal mention of the "B" word just to convince you to put it off again for another couple of months.
It's been a lot more than that now for me but the need to sort out my HTC S100 Bluetooth headset means I have to.
I'm going to take the plunge. I'll let you know what happens.
T-Mob UK MDA Vario II (HTC Hermes) WM5hit
MrVanx's site has a nice set of guides on it.
I went here,
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeForBeginners
I did the HardSPL part but I'm not sure if I needed to as the ROM I used seemed to do the same thing, but it didn't seem to hurt.
I then went here and downloaded the Schap's 3.60a ROM from mirror 1
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=all_hermes_roms
and ran it....
Forgot to back up my MMS's so lost them but apart from that... dare I say it......
The main reason for me doing this was to get a half decent sound on my HTC S100 Bluetooth handsfree jobby. It's done the trick, not perfect but it's so much better.
Hope that helps someone else and thanks to all involved in the sources I used.
DGL.
I decided to take the plunge today mainly to take advantage of the new internet sharing via wifi hack available on WM6. Like you guys I was nervous about messing up my phone and there is so much information available and so many choices. I decided to follow MrVanx's guide, very simple and spent about 2 hours doing to whole upgrade for hard spl, radio upgrade and windows black satin. It really is very easy if you follow that guide step by step. Definately worth it and had I known how simple it would be would have upgraded my vario II ages ago. If like me your on t-mobile then the cab on this thread might also be handy:

the iPhone is proprietary to Apple and so it can't be put on anything else. What you can do is put other things on your XDA to make it finger friendly in operation.
To remove just the O2 garbage, do a hard reset and then when it says "Customising in 3 secs", or something like that do a soft reset.
These questions and more can be answered if you look in the Himalaya/Andes sub forum if its an XDA II or the Alpine section if its an XDA IIi. To tell the difference, apart from the label on the front of the case, which may have been changed:
Go to Start - Settings - System - Device Info.
Select the "Identity" tab.
PH10B = Himalaya/Andes, can be upgraded to WM5 and WM6
PH10C = Alpine, cannot be upgraded but does include WiFi.
The best advice is to read through these forums, especially the device specific ones and also the "Development and Hacking" one for customisation.
Thanks a bunch! my sister-in-law retired her o2 xda 2 to me and I wanted to give it a nice "face-lift". I'll be trying out the stuff you've suggested, thanks again
