Does anyone suffer the lost of TTS(UK & US English) in Igo8. I couldn't get my TTS to work after installation. Everything else works fine.There's no such problem in the Diamond.
Anyone know how to get TTS back on.
I don't want to be too specific in this forum, but there are two versions of the Igo software. One is set for PDA and doesn't contain TTS to save memory. The other is for PNAs and does. There are ways of getting the PNA version onto WM phones.
Also, there is a special version for the old diamond (not sure if PNA or PDA) that installs correctly to main memory. You may need to change to the regular PNA version.

i'm just a newbie with HTC. i do know a lot about Symbian phones specially Nokia models. I just purchased a XDA II mini, and i've heard i cut put applications, tools and games with it as well.
i'm already collecting stuff for that. then, i encounter that I could also upgrade, WWE, Radio and Extended ROM.
i have no idea on that, can some1 explain me how this things works... pls. pls. pls... thanx
i have download some ROM, and Radio. i've used it following instructions listed on the site. and have seen my new XDA being updated. but i don't have an extended ROM????? how to install one??? tnx again and more power to all...
The Radio ROM is responsible for your normal GSM function (it doesn't handles WiFi). It is like the firmware of your normal (say) Nokia (non-symbian) phone. I think you need to specifically upgrade the Radio seperately (e.g. not included in ROM package). Some say that upgrading the Radio will improve things such as phone related speed and reception quality.
A ROM usually comes in a package (that is, it includes Ext-ROM). Depending on how you upgrade your ROM, you probably already upgraded your Ext-ROM as well. Probably that's why you didn't see Ext-ROM to be downloaded. However, there are user forged ExtRom that suppose to have all the goodies in it, such that, every time you perform a hard reset, you do not need to seperately install your favourite/essential software.
The Ext-ROM is the area that phone-operators put their customized stuff in. Example, both operators O2 and T-Mobile may have the same ROM for their respective HTC-Magician model, but they surely have different Ext-ROM. This Ext-ROM determines how the phone looks like what the operator wants it to be (e.g. theme and colour of O2, GSM related settings, GPRS settings).
If your phone (or the ROM you upgraded) is from the same operator (e.g. O2, T-mobile) or distribtor (e.g. Qtek, iMate), you may not see much of a difference as both Ext-ROM may actually have the same packaging.
Tell us how you upgrade your unit and we may able to tell you if you already Ext rom upgraded.
WWE is World Wrestling Entertainment which...
Seriously, WWE is a code that shows you which region the particular ROM is for. WWE is for World Wide English (I think) which is generally the default for most phone. However, if you like, you can get other region ROM to installed on your device (make sure they are compatible). You can basically guess that region they are from by guessing these code (you can find - but difficult - them on the web), e.g. Italian ones might be ITY, Spanish on might be SPN, etc.
Big thanx...
thanx thanx for the reply.. for the efort... and much mor for the time...
anywys like your meaning of WWE! hehe.. but i do understand that already as some indications of language/region settings of the ROM package.
i'm having problem with EXT-Rom because, after flashing, when i check Device information, it says about my ROM version, my RADIO version, but my EXT-ROM is blank. i downloaded the package ROM from this site. the 1.12 package for magician, have downloaded also the separate Radio package (1.13), but the ROM package doesn't seem to install the EXT-ROM.
i tried downloading EXT-ROM on separate folder of the FTP, but as i cud see it is not like the ROM files and Radio Files that comes in package. the 2 EXT-ROM i downloaded was a chunk of CAB files and ZIP/RAR files... i was wondering if i should copy all of them to my XDA and manually install..
is there a built in package EXT-ROM??? or is there a program that automatically install them???
again thanxs so much... hopefully when i fully understand the XDA world i could contribute and share my stuff... thanx to the group! =)
Your unit runs on W2003 while mine runs on WM5. So, I can't really give details on your missing ExtRom.
However, yes, ExtRom usually comes with a bunch of CAB files and come XML or config files. What you need to do is, try to search for unlocking Ext rom in this forum or the wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/ to check on how to unlock the ext rom.
As for magician, there is a thing called Big Storage, which seems to handle ExtRom differently. I don't have the details, someone with a Magician big storage may able to help you on this. Anyway, check to see if your ROM is a big storage enabled version. If it is, it should be very obvious (stated on the page/rom somewhere) as this big storage thing is a hit in Magician. You may have to treat the one with/without big storage enabled one differently.
Anyway, advise is, look for the unlock ext-rom for Magician. Follow the instructions carefully (though ext rom fiddling is usually non fatal), and see if can have it unlocked. You should then have a seperate 'partition' or folder that you can write on normally. Just copy everything into the 'partition' and you had your very own ext-rom. That's why extrom looks different than the ROM itself.
thanx thanx again..
yup i did download one of the big storage rom in the xda-developers ftp site with ver 1.12
i did flash that to my phone, and always get Ext-Rom error to my device... ROM and Radio is ok, but EXt ROM is a failure.. anyways, following your advice i downloade a separate Ext-ROM files and hit the autoconfig, and from there everything was ok.... =)
you did mention that your device runs WM2005, and mine 2003... is it possible to upgrade that as well??? is there a tool to do that??? and is that different from the ROM files to upgrade the device???
---(having problems) for the last 2 days, i can't access the FTP folder of xda-developers... "page can't be displayed", r we experiencing problem with the site??? can u pls post a link on how to access it directly??? same with wiki.xda-developers...
BIG Thanx! =)
Big storage version may not have ExtRom, probably that's why you are having problems with it. Anyway, the method you've done is just simply installing the Ext Rom stuff into your device. Upon the next hard reset, you have to reinstall the ExtRom stuff again manually (as oppose to if you have Ext Rom, the stuff will be install automatically upon hardreset). But I guess since you don't hardreset it everyday, it is the same.
No. Repeat. NO. you can't upgrade your device to WM5. It has been well proven that Magician cannot be upgrade to WM5. And do not try to install ROM from other devices (e.g. Charmer) which looks very similiar to Magician. They are different in hardware and hence the ROMs are not compatible. And you may kill your device. So, repeat again, do not attempt to upgrade your Magician to WM5. You can always stay here and read new threads. WM5 in Magician is a superb news that if there is a possibility, it will be a hit in this forum.
BTW, on the bright side, you can see that Magician is a better device than Charmer although the latter runs WM5. Magician is superb in almost all the tasks given. Take a look at this thread to see the advantages of Magician vs Charmer. So, able to run W2003 is not such a bad thing at all. Probably WM5 will slow the Magician down.

Hi all,
I'm loving the WM5.0 ROMs, however I cannot seem to get GoodLink to install (it claims my version of WM is unsupported). I've noticed for some other platforms, people have managed to change their WM version number to effectively combat this (fooling GoodLink to install).
Any idea how I can change the WM version number to fool GoodLink to install?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
if you provide me with the install cab i may help, but first i have to look at it
Sure, I've uploaded the install cab here.
Thanks a lot.
First i think this is smartphone release, not pocketpc one, second your link does not work
Apologies.
Here is the correct file. I selected the wrong one
Matt
I dont know what this software is, and how to configure it but here is working WM5 cab of it, it installs and the some kind of setup wizard comes up, and then it asks for email and for pin
Thanks for your help. However, the issue with GoodLink is that it does a check after you enter your PIN on the WM version. At this point, it sees my BA is 5.1 (not 5.0) and fails the install.
I've seen other ROMs change the version number to avoid this problem and didn't know if it's something that's easy to do (either via a hex editor or a registry fix).
Cheers,
Matt
it is compatible with older wm5 roms without the 5.1 core, i am not sure where is the correct address to change for blueangel
and i think that it is time for them to update their app, there are no WM 5.0 devices anymore on the market
Thanks xplode, I'll try finding, downloading & installing a 5.0 ROM tonight then and see if it all works.
Agreed that they should update their software!
Matt
Just a followup to the above, I cannot seem to find any older images for download, the earliest I can find is "xplode_AKU3.3_Beta1_R1.rar" which still has a 5.1 core.
Any ideas where I can get an older WM5.0 image from? I'd go back to 2003, but that's not supported either (between a rock and a hard place with GoodLink!)
Matt
Hi,
Firstly if this is in the wrong forum - appologies.
I have TomTom 6 and maps which I originally installed on my iPaq 4700, which has now died due to the touchscreen failing. Recently purchased a Wizard (from a popular auction site) and installed TT6 and maps no problem.
With my purchase was another supposedly dead wizard which I have manged to reflash with WM6 ROM and all is working fine (thanks to all the invaluable advise in the Wizard/WM6 forums!) which I now want to install TT6 on and uninstall from the other Wizard with a view to selling it.
The problem - TTcode website will not accept another device code so cannot activate maps. Spoken to TT who want everying including my inside leg measurement to activate (which I can understand however i have little chance of finding the original receipt).
Does anyone know how the device code is forumlated - ie If i flash the vanilla Wizard to WM6 will it change the device code?
Any help appreciated.
Thx
PS my version of TT6 is totally original - no hacks copies or dodgy downloads.
Hi Everyone,
I just installed Tom Tom Navigator 7.916 on my T-Mobile TP2(WM6.5) and now Bluetooth no longer works.
Does anyone know what I can do to get Bluetooth working again? I tried reinstalling TT again but to no avail.
Thank you in advance for any useful information.

You're likely just using the wrong version. You've probably been around here for a while so you know how using the search feature can be your best friend.
Go here and download this version...
New Tomtom 916.9189 Specifically for TP2 Released
good luck
Aaron,
Thank you for your post!
I tried installing the version listed on the link you provided but I get the following message "Unable to start.Not enough memory is available." I have 1 GB available on my memory card.
I currently have a T-Mobile Touch Pro 2(WM6.5) and my current version of Tom Tom,which prevents bluetooth from working , is 7.916.9189.
Thank you in advance to anybody with any useful information.
Giovanni
Don't worry this is some what of an easy fix. Just search tom tom back on the general page and this should get you going. Sorry i can't post the appropriate links since the search function is down for me. But feel free to try it later.
There's an easy way to fix this:
1) install the TomTom that stops bluetooth from working
2) install any DECENT file explorer program that allows you to see the dates on files (total commander, etc etc, there's plenty out there)
3) look in your phones \Windows folder and you will see 2 Bluetooth files that have been replaced by the TomTom install, with wildly out-of date dates (something like 2006, when all the rest of the \Windows files should be dated 2008 or more recent)
4) DELETE them both
5) soft-reset phone ( losing no data)
As the phone reboots, it will spot the 2 missing Bluetooth files & replace them with the correct ones from the ROM, bingo, normal bluetooth service is restored and TomTom still works
I have used this trick on both my old Kaiser and both my TP2S, many times when reflashign ROMS and reinstalling a known good working version of TomTom that had the BT bug, it always works 100%
Joe
Heres a treat.
ttn7.916.9189__black.cab
or
TTN7.918.9193.cab
both have the files that cause the problem pre removed. Enjoy
Hi I renamed the 2 offending files and got rid of the BTTrayCE.exe error but I can't start tomtom it just says not enough memory. Any ideas? (Sorry to hijack this thread btw).
I've been searching for quite a while now to find a clean version of Windows Mobile 6.1 with the dutch/netherlands language on it.
So my question is where can I find it somewhere for the Samsung Omnia I-900
I know its an old phone I use to mess with it and put on WM 6.5 but I can't seem to find the dutch/netherland language for it? Maybe if someone can help me out on this problem I might not have to change the OS.
My goal is to convert this phone to a music player since I now own a blackberry and it only came with 1g onboard so I thought I'd use my samsung for music since it has 8gb
Thank you
Have you tried the official Rom updates? They can be found on: http://www.samsungmobile.com/support/omnia/index.jsp
Also, on Modaco they posted the link to the last know Dutch ROM for the omnia and a workaround to install it.
The ROM is at : http://nl.samsungmobile.com/pmgmvst.do?visitgbn=10913155&coflag=0
And the solution on how to install at http://www.modaco.com/content/i9x0-...evert-the-i900-back-to-standard-samsung-rom/#
Do it at your own risk.
Yes I've found that site but I downloaded a WM 6.5 from this forum, and when I go to the version and enter it it says it's not correct.
And I don't know which version I have to enter to get the 6.5 or 6.1 dutch version
Thanks bsinclair thats what I need!
But now I don't understand what he means with this:
Solution:
- disassemble original rom with i900 executer (latest version!)
- assemble your disassembeled files back to an exe with i900 executer
As you may have noticed I'm not a native speaker, does he mean to connect the phone trough usb and delete all the folders by yourself and after that execute the executer?
As far as I understood, this is an unpack for the ROM file. See here:
http://www.modaco.com/content/i900-general-omnia-rom-discussion/286865/executor/
It seems that, if you unpack and pack again, the incorrect software version crap is gone.
Nevertheless, I would say it is better if you register there and ask the author of the post, he will know more than anyone else.
