Attention Mac users!

Hey there. I was wondering if any of you were into flashing... One thing I wanted to ask was, is there any way of flashing ROMs onto our devices by virtue of using VMware Fusion?

I am a mac user and I always use my virtual machine to do all my flashing and have never had a problem. I am currently using VMware on my macbook
I have a windows xp pro sp3
and a vista partition but all flashing is done under xp.
I have flashed a treo 750
Kaiser
i780

I tried recently to flash a new ROM onto my TyTN from VMware, but it tells me that I need to get a newer version of upgrader, or something like that.

It's 100x easier (and faster) to flash via your microSD card, if your phone has the ability.
I gave up on flashing via VMware/Parallels after I pseudobricked my phone a few times (thankfully I was HardSPL'd, so it was easy to recover).

I suggest you to do that operation by using a phisical Windows OS. I do that by using Parallels Desktop for Mac but it woesn't work (e.g.) perfectly using the Nokia Software Update.
No issues at all with PDA (JasJar and TyTn2).

So there's Parallels... anyone have experience with doing this on Fusion?

hi..I've a G4 and a new macBookPro and to flash roms into my i780 I've tried to use parallels (on Intel's macBookPro) with 2 positive results in 10 times..firewall and other programs in conflict(..I'm using XpPro sp3 and MacOSX10.5)....the best way is BOOT CAMP for me : more stablility than virtual machine!!
..good night..

Xperia ROM Question

This might be pretty n00b...but what do roms do exactly? If you install one, are you still able to use your phone with your provider and stuff...i dunno, just scared something happens to my phone.

The ROM is the operating system of your phone. It's like XP, Vista, Ubuntu, Knoppix and so on.
If you flash another ROM you will have a completely other software / interface / programms ....

Actually the ROM is more like the hard drive in ones computer.
It does contain the operating system, but its not THE operating system.
When you change the ROM on your phone is like changing your computer's hard drive with another one that already has an operating system installed.
@Doc_Debil
Yes you will be able to use your phone with your current provider and stuff
The chances of actually bricking (permanently damaging your phone) are really slim. Just make sure you don't run out of battery when you do the update.
I also suggest doing the update from the phone's SD card. It's MUCH safer than the update through the PC.
Hope that cleared some of your questions

Let me put it in very simple language
First there was windows3.1...then windows 95...then windows 98..then windows xp..then now windows 7...
this is a rom.
a rom upgrade will take u frm windws 95 to windows xp
So a rom update on the xperia will make ur xperia faster.prettier.and with less bugs.
Cheers,
Rotastrain

Very simple but not quite right.
A rom cannot be compared to an OS. Most roms will take you from Windows mobile 6.1 to windows mobile 6.1
Most differences are made within the registry and programs installed by default.
Some roms (like a super light rom) will make your xpera faster but it won`t make it prettier per se. And bugs are ever present. You cannot expect a rom to be bug free (only 1 person has dared to say that his rom is bugfree so far)
Installing another rom won`t make that much of a difference to be honest.
It might make your xperia faster with a better battery life. Or make it prettier with crappier battery life.
Most of which you could do by installing cabs (not all)

That still doesn't mean we have to give wrong information

hey guise i have a problem, before you install a different rom you need to do a hard spl and ive tried that on my x1 and it wont work can any body help me plees the hard spl cannot be installed

Why not just copy the rom onto the SD Card (root folder - you might need to rename the file into kovsky.nbh i think?), then turn off your phone, hold the power button + volume down until you see it go into service mode, then follow the instructions.
It's THAT easy
Plus you won't have to worry about those pesky cats unplugging your usb cable while you flash your phone )

As far as I know most GPS devices are based on Microsoft Windows CE 5.0 Core it's like a small Windows with Start Menu, Desktop and so on, but this feature is locked down only to Navigation Software and Simple file browsing.
There is no final Windows CE6, only some RC versions.
Windows Mobile is also based on Windows CE, but that's a different OS tree.
Basically there is nothing You can do with the dump.
P.S. I think You mean Acer P610

Hi,
There's a way to replace Windows on my HTC Diamond with android or another operating system?
Thank you for your time

No
It's still being worked on.

Grazie tante!

You can actually install android alongside of winmo. Try searching for xdandroid and you'll find what you are looking for.
ALso search for neopeek, it might help.

Android on Diamond
There are my experiences with Android on Diamond:
I used XDAndroid (Foryo, ver.FRX06). Installation is not difficult, they were two "catches" during installation in my case: First, I had to delete ts-calibration file to recreate display-calibration data (after first boot it was completely broken) and second, finally I had to (full)format Internal Storage (FAT32) because Android didnt see internal storage ("sdcard").
So, now I have working android. Synchronizations with google account works, wifi work, GPS works. But I cant install anything from Market - very annoying, I dont know yet how to fix this. At least I can install application directly from .apk files.
Summary:
Using Android on Diamond is pain. System is slow. If you are used to use some fast (winmo)ROM, you will be horrified. Let's imagine slowest 6.5 rom with TF3D - and android is even slowest . Sometimes, the response is so slow, that system detected "not responding" application and offers to kill it or wait (choose wait ). Diamond has limited memory, after boot you will have about 30MB free (depends on widgets used). Also, battery drain is terrible.
Despite all, android applications works. So, for testing, playing and get familiar with android, its fine. Then, when you'll assure yourself android is good, then you'll buy a true android device (Just for comparison: my wife has LG Optimus One, pretty cheap device, but android works much much much faster and smoother than on Diamond, its really different league, incomparable with Diamond). If you want to keep Diamond, for everyday use, go back to any fast WM ROM, (BSB is my favorite), install SPB Shell and Droid+ mod.

Pretty weird,on my diamond was faster than a wm6.1 + sense 2.1,maybe because I hardly ever used frx06.
But frx06 shouldn't be slow,there are a lot of users that like it's speed and stability,so maybe you were unlucky or with wrong/old files..

Hm, could it be possible "wrong" files makes working but slower system? Maybe it is about frx06... Can you help me to install any different android version? But keeping wm is necessary condition, so I think xdandroid is the only option..(?)
Thanx,
D.

You could check this forum,there are my two builds,or in rhod's android subforum there are others
Speed isn't only decided by system,but by kernel and rootfs too,so,check them out and find the fastest for you
