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!)

hi
How to enable the GPS with HTC P3600 my ROM IS 1.17.415.3
THANKS FOR HELP
rom upgrades, either here or from htc itself if it is really an HTC-branded device
from where can i have the recent rom
Lol I wish we could just enable GPS in Touch like we can in Trinity....
There is hidden quad-band but I doubt there is GPS in my Touch.
And as for the ROM, you can get it from the HTC site.
please can any body send me the link
thanks
Just go safe for a start...
Hello, I guess you must be kidding since you already have 81 post, I don't think you are so unaware of Trinity stuffs...
Anyway, in case your request was serious, here below is the HTC club's registration link.
You just register, and then using your IMEI number, you just download the suitable GPS enabled rom for your device, according to your brand or unbrand, and your geographic area.
Just go safe and start using GPS with a safe official rom.
When you feel more confident, you'll find plenty of wm6 rom on this forum, cooked or rebuilt.
http://www.htc.com/support/support_htcp3600.htm
thank u very much for your reply
yes i am old in the forums but with my old imate pda2k i got this HTC only 2 days ago.
the second thing i already registered in the HTC club and added the IMEI of my HTC but they informed me that there is no new updates for it
any idea
thanks
update your signature with your new phone details
No problem, my pleasure to help in the extend of my limited knowledge.
OK, let's start from the beginning:
could you update your signature in order to let us know which version of rom, radio, protocole etc. you're running.
And can you tell also in which area you bought your device, this will decide which rom you can safely flash your phone with.
But what I can already understand from what you are saying is that your present rom is already up to date and fully GPS enabled like every rom since april/may 2007, and even earlier for some branded releases of the Trinity, like dopod in Asia (february 2007) or Vodaphone (march 2007).
What you need now is two steps:
1) first of all make the settings icon of GPS showing up in your settings/connexions tab.
(there is a registry tweak to do that, or more simple, just use trinityhacks v0.3 that you can find by making a search on this forum)
2) find an application that uses GPS:
tomtom navigator, gps tuner etc.
You can try a free one for a start: GPS Test, that you can find by using google.
thank you for your help
from my new signature u can know now that i still have old rom that is not supporting GPS.
i bought my HTC from saudi arabia
i know that there is update to my rom as i contacted HTC support and they already inform me that i have an update but when i put my IMEI number in the support site they informed me that there is no update rom suites my version
I've got the whole picture now...
OK
1) your rom, radio rom etc. are too old to activate the GPS on your device
So you'll need not only an OS upgrade, but also a radio rom one.
2)
to go safe and use a rom that is allowed by your device's CID, you'll need an English ROM, unbranded, for HTC P3600.
The GPS enabled version of ROM is 1.23.X.X for the ROM, and 1.38.X.X for the radio.
You can find a link on this forum (rapidshare, megaupload etc. for en official English rom of that type.
I'll also have a look for you. I could upload my old ROM for you, but no luck, it's a French one, so not compatible with your CID.
3) if you are brave enough (but it's all under your own responsibility if you brick your device...) you can try that too:
- use 'trinity unlock' or 'SPL_trin' or the new one 'olibro'that you can find on this forum to allow other brands ROM installation.
- flash your device with the official dopod ROM SEA for South-East-Asia in English (that I am running myself at the moment).
I suggest you use the one without radio, spl-ipl, extended rom.
It's safe since there is no risk of conflict with your present device locks.
- then you upgrade your radio with radio 1.46.X.X also from the Dopod's ROM.
This is what I've done, without all the hassles and risks that brings the full ROM update when it's not official HTC P3600 release compatible with your CID.
A thread where they talk about the official upgrade you are looking for, in English:

added in my last post
realy many thanks for you
i have downloaded the official rom and the new radio.
i will try to use them
again many thanks for your help
give us some feedback when you can
You're welcome.
It's a pleasure to help.
Don't forget to give us some feedback about your flashing process and result.
Once you've installed the new ROM, use trinityhacks to make the GPS visible and start using it, with 'GPS Test'. The GPS chip is not the fastest, so make sure you are outside, ideally with a good weather and not too many buildings over your head for the first try.
i will
thanks again
hi friend
i did upgrade my HTC P3600 TO
rom version 1.23.405.2
rom date 03/11/07
radio 1.41.00.11
protocol 32.74.7020.18h
extrom 1.23.405.103
BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT TO USE GPS
I TRIED TO USE TOM TOM NAVIGATOR BUT I GOT AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT THERE IS NO ENOUGHT MEMORRY
THEN I USED OTHER SOFTWARES THAT ALL FAILED TO FIND GPS
THANKS AGAIN
Hello,
nice to hear from you again.
As I told you in my previous post, the first thing to do wasn't to use Tomtom, but to make your GPS show up.
I suggest you first do a hardreset, in order to erase all the GPS softwares installations that you may have failed in the meantime.
1)
For a start, you should have first use Trinityhacks to add the GPS icon in your settings/connexions tab.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303657&highlight=trinity+hacks
(you could have found it yourself on the forum, by making a keyword search as I just did)
2)
After reboot, U'll see your GPS and check is settings that should GPD1 and most important communication port 9, plus its speed, expressed in bauds.
3)
after that, use a freeware called GPS Test (do a google search, u'll find it) and install it.
It will find itself your GPS on the right port. If it doesn't, just use the settings u've seen in the first step (com port 9 and highest speed you can)
4)
it should show looking for gps and then, gps starting up
it will search for a while before getting the fist lock (fix) on the sattelites)
when it starts, it's written 1D view, but when the fix is done, it will be 3D plus the location of the place where you are.
I suggested you to not start with tomtom from the beginning since it's not the easiest software to use with GPS, at first.
Some versions of tomtom does recognize the internal GPS without any special settings, but some doesnt, so you'll have to choose 'NMEA device' and then set it on the port com number 9.
But, try this freeware called GPS Test first, and tell me what it shows.
dear friend
thank you again for your help
really your are wonderful,
the GPS icon was shown by other way that i could find here in the forums by which i did some registery changes that showed the GPS icon in the connections.so i used this icon to adjust the com port to com 9 and to use intermediate speed.
then i used the navigon 6 program that i found how it use it in details in one Arabic forum
and it worked very nice with me.
i think i will not use tom tom again
thank you very much
Good news, you finally got your GPS up and running. Congrats.
Yes, the registry tweaks do just the same thing, and it's more challenging to do it that way, in the meantime you understand better how your device works.
I suggest (except if you've heard something different from your documentations) that you just let your GPS at its maximum speed, 115 200 bauds.
At the contrary, you can decide for each program using the GPS to set it to the full speed or to just use a part of it, but the GPS itself should be ready to give as much as it can.
I've never tried that software you mentioned. If it works so well, I might give a try sometimes. Thanks for the information.
i was informed to keep the speed at 57600 i will try to make it max
this navigon is simple to be used and a bit lite and has maps for some arabic countries
thanks again
When I got my replacement AT&T 8525, it came with the AT&T WM5 ROM. I decided to downgrade to the Cingular WM5 version since I didn't like the AT&T one. I've been skeptical about upgrading to the official WM6 release, and I figured that since I have some time tonight that I would. However, I do have a couple of questions about how this will work since I had to install a different bootloader in order to make the change back to the Cingular WM5 version possible.
Currently my settings are:
ROM version: 1.34.502.1
ROM date: 09/21/06
Radio version: 1.40.30.00
HardSPLv7
My question are, do I need to modify my radio version before I upgrade? Also, should I modify my bootloader before I upgrade to the official WM6? Thanks.
Firstly good job on flashing HardSPL.
your radio doesnt need to be changed at all, but if you want to take a peek at my tests here that might help you choose an appropriate radio version.
For WM6 DEFINATLY go for it, the updated stacks/drivers/kernel are definatly faster than the WM5 versions.
Give the pandora naked 7 ROM a shot........it will FLY.
Your settings can be restored for AT&T using the HTC network wizard (easily found with a search).......and make sure you backup all your contacts etc... using PIMBackup (in the development forum).
I keep getting an error 264 connection error saying that the update utility cannot connect to my phone. I've followed all the steps. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. The only thing that sparks my mind that I don't remember occuring before is that when I plug my phone in via USB ActiveSync automatically begins, so I wasn't sure if I needed to disable that function or not since the instructions mentioned something about being sure that happens before installing the new ROM.
Any help? I'm still stuck here.
I just did mine (I am a brand new to all this) and I followed these steps word for word in this thread, adn man what a difference .
read these all the way through.

Nates good people and willing to help although he is a caffeine addict
and after you upgrade the rom do this, but read it all before doing so
HTC plug in , great look for the 8525

Oh i forgot, the HTC att WM6 included the radio upgrade to the 1.48. which works great.
I'm using NRG's latest 2.1 rom and have just installed windows market place. just download and install
im probably gonna get flamed to hell for this - but my rom doesnt have the marketplace cooked in - is there a user installable cab? ive searched but failed.
I installed it but it complains that it can't talk to the server
Have they taken it down again?
EDIT: Seems like VodafoneUK and O2 UK don't have it accessible yet...

I'm using Vodafone UK business and MP is working fine for me.

im seeing some people working fine with marketplace - so im thinking its a rom specific thing - probably some reg setting for server or something - will be trying a few new roms today
I just tried that MP.zip on my TP2, unzipping all files to a folder on the SDcard & running the main app: nothing for me, it starts up & then nothing happens

I am running NRG's lastest ROM as well on Tmobile USA. When I first opened up Marketplace, it told me that I needed to install the Updated App and that worked fine. After that however, it says that it cannot reach the server
T-mobile USA, cannot connect to server here also.

Check post 9.
I know ms is updating their server and stuff, I got an email saying that myphone service is the being updated and it wont be available for sometime, maybe the same with marketplace. And can some one put a cab here in this forum, no point linking us to a diff forum where we have to register again to dl.
I downloaded the cab from ppcgeeks, it took me to a page in opera asking me to download another cab, I did so, and Marketplace is working fine over Wifi with my Sprint TP2!!
Still no worky for me even with that cab

HI
i have kaiser 130
I tried few diffrent android version but with evry version phone cant connect to network sometimes he connects for few minutes but not longer. With windows everything ok
I tried:
Incubus26Jc's Super Eclair Lite 2.1
Warm Donut RLS 5 with Kaiser updates integrated including battery
Im using
HardSpl 3.34
radio 1.70.19.09 (tried 1.70.18.02)
Protocol 25.83.40.02h
Maybe someone had same problem and can help me?
Sorry for my english.
i just checked i was editing nbh for Warm Donut RLS 5 with Kaiser updates integrated including battery
and i was using esclair not donut. (dum) Maybe in this is problem....
I has the same problem too ,waiting somebody give a method to solve this
Have you tried an older radio, such as 1.65.21.18?
No because in guide:"How to replace Windows Mobile with Android (Guide)" (sorry i cant paste link because im new user) is recommended 1.70.x and better here it is "#2 Does your Kaiser have a relatively new radio rom? If not then get one. Recommended to have 1.70.xx.xx and up. "
if it is radio fault so why on winMO with same radio working?
And one more thing kaiser with android finds not 02 but BTCellnet (in the beginning O2 was BTCellnet )
The same radio suggestion was made to me several days ago while trying to get audio working in android (via HaRET). Upping to 1.70.xx didn't fix my issues, but 1.65.xx did.
If you are able to test it in WM, you must still have WM installed. Are you booting android with HaRET?
No i think HAret if you installing to sdcard but im installing not in sdcard.
im doing all by this guide go here to read.
xda-developers > HTC Kaiser: Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III > Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development
> How to replace Windows Mobile with Android (Guide)
Yes, I know the sticky thread to which you have now twice referred. I am asking how you know wifi works in WM if you have replaced WM with android as the guide leads you to do.
There is no danger it trying an older radio regardless of what the guide suggests. I would respectfully suggest that you give 1.65.xx a shot, despite what the guide says. If the older one works, then you have solved your problem. If it doesn't work, you can flash 1.70.xx back on and try something else.
I am running Incubus's Super Eclair on my device and wifi works flawlessly. I am also able to do BT connections and hear audio. None of these worked when I tried 1.70.xx, so I use 1.65.21.18 instead.
em not wifi iwth wifi every thing ok but mobile newtwork dosent work
Roger that. My recommendation still stands, however.
Trying the alternate radio will take you less than 5 min total including d/l time. You can find it linked in post #3 of this thread: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393182.
You could also try 1.71.09.01, which I see was posted several days ago.
thx m8 its working! just signal strength is bad but still....it works! one more time thank you m8!
m8?
What was your solution?
i have a similar problem. Cannot connect to the internet with 2g/3g, but wifi works. The latest rom did not solve my problem. Maybe i'll try older ones...
hi @all,
any news here?
I got the same problem.
At the moment I have running the version milanche has upped, because I thought it is running for him, so maybe it does also for me. but it doesn't.
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6570064&postcount=7
(sorry, as a new user I can't make a link out of this)
Everything seems to be fine except mobile internet.
Edit:
Maybe I should inform you that I already have edited my APN-Settings. And I really think they should be ok. On WM6.1 these settings are working.
And I like to mention that I'm booting from SD.
Kernel may be ?...
Same problem with my phone. I have installed Froyo as explained in another post on my Kaiser TyTNII and everything works perfect except the phone network. I tried already around 5 diferent radios, with NO results.
Do anybody think this issue may come from the kernel instead ?
Using the "kaisimg-panel2-240x320-2.6.32-tilt-froyo-06-09-10_22.nbh" on my phone.
Thank you.
I have a problem with an i-mate K-JAM ... Some time ago I got this ppc but I went I installed a program and got stuck. Windows and the currency we now find no signal at all looking and looking and still not know what does. please help me

I,m started MODEM application,tapped Connect-and looks like APN now working!
Let's see how long it works for you. I have the same setup as orcatrainer but mine works off and on some times. I must add, I have Simple Mobile. They are on the T-mobile network therefore, I cannot access 3G on my tilt. Playing with the 2G setting usually cause my phone to connect to APN until I turn the phone off. Then I have to struggle to get it to work again. I just put my sims back into my Blackjack 2 to access mobile data until this issue is fixed.

Hi there, I don't understand well what you did on your phone which made it work. Under which section you can find "modem" application ?
