BTW, an off topic question, isn't our Cavalier a "he"? 'cos I've seen somewhere addressing him as a "she".

lets pray that Erofich will find a way to fix the setting issue
BTW
profile oso cannot work in setting

where the ruu?

I'm downloading it, but will not be able to test it until tonight. Gonna have to attend a meeting soon. Will keep you informed If finding any more bug, apart from known ones.
Edit: I just saw a new post by Erofich in the previous thread, maybe I'd better wait a little until you try the new way with shellcelog.dll?

I just went home and flashed my Cava with your rough ROM. First of all, it didn't brick my phone That says, the ROM basically is done, only some issues left to address, and they're as followed:
+ Sounds and Profiles problems as known; Selecting Sounds gives me the "Setting couldn't be opened" but doing the Profiles does allow me to open it; however, I can't either edit any profile or switch among them. The overall system sound is pretty low, may be because of this setting issue.
+ Beam applet inside Connections is able to be opened, but can't be saved when the option's checked, giving the "Settings couldn't be saved".
+ Accessibility applet can't be opened also, giving the error related to accessib.xml, saying that it can't be loaded.
+ Unlike WM6.1 HTC Excalibur I used before, Contacts just doesn't display contacts I've stored on SIM. I also checked the registry key, which is ShowSIM under HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\ , the value is 1 which's supposed to show SIM contacts as it should, but It doesn't.
+ The OS is not application pre-unlocked, that's not a prob, but maybe the reg key 0000101b under HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies should be pre-changed to 1 to ease the unlock procedure after each HR. You know, to unlock it, PC connection is neccessary to run the tool, so when we're not near one, our apps just boo at us challengingly
+ The Java Manager is probably out of date, I got a new one and it's proven that It's usable with most of java apps I've tried to installe. I couldn't do it with the one that came with the original WM6.0 Cava ROM. Just guess this one is the same, 'cos the version and icon look pretty much identical.
+ After using for a while, when I go to Start menu, out of the blue, the two softkey letters on the bottom bar are just vanished, I can still press them with guess though.
+ The Streaming Media tool seems to be un-usable, 'cos I've tried both WIFI connection and Wired connection (with my PC to the NET, and my Cava to it), but I just can't get it to play any youtube file on m.youtube.com (which it's supposed to be able to handle this).
+ Just my suggestion, but in the official release, maybe you can consider adding those useful tools to the ROM, on my previous WM6.1 Excalibur, they were pre-intergrated and quite useful. I'll attach (some of) them here as well. Here's the list:
. ClockOnTop: http://www.2shared.com/file/3918722/1cac6006/ClockOnTop_QVGA_WM5.html
. SRS WOW XT High Definiton Sound: http://www.2shared.com/file/3918721/85a531bc/SRSWOWHDv12850.html
. Esmertec Java Manager: http://www.2shared.com/file/3918712/378133c5/EsmertecJbed_2008022231.html
. PIE download plugin: http://www.2shared.com/file/3918731/9cbe00fd/SN_PIE_Download_Plugin.html
. Opera Mini 4.1 (requires Java manager- Esmertec, but is a great alternative for PIE): http://www.2shared.com/file/3918738/e562b859/opera-mini-latest-advanced-int.html
Just out of curiosity, why wouldn't you port another newer build of WM, say 19513 or something? 'cos I've seen somewhere in this forum about some new builds for WM-based Smartphones. Maybe those builds are just incompatible with our Cava or something?
Edit: having some prob with the file attaching system, so I'll upload them onto some other file upload service, and just post links to them here.

good work
I threw my cavalier in a corner for nearly 5 onths and now im back on it thanks to this wm 6.1 youve worked so hard to bring us. Thanks. Hopefully i can help by letting out some problems im having with it.
-cant connect to a secured wifi
-couldnt install apps until i did another app unlock but i guess that's normal.
-And have to manually add txt messge call center didnt upload from carrier or sim. Tried to manually add it but only gives errors.
-Also i dont see the built in msn messnager tool i had. Does anyone know where i can find a cab for it?

I'm having probs with sending SMS, seems message center has not been added as you said. I believe MSN messenger has been replaced by Windows Live in WM6.1, however I don't see it too. I don't use this much so I hardly noticed the absence.

EDIT: SMALL TIP FOR EVERYONE
when installing it, make sure you point your hpRUU.ini file to the right file, so that you use the correct rom!

"ERROR 506" hpRUU.ini not found
Greetings and congratulations Spiaatie!
I am very excited about your 6.5 rom. However, as I try to flash I get a "ERROR 506" hpRUU.ini not found. Please advise.

Read my previous post, you need to rename the spiaatie_WM_6_5.nbf file to ipaqrom.nbf then get your previous hpRUU.ini from the 6.1 installation along with the .dll driver files

Fffuuuuuuu
Ok, So I looked at the notification que in the Memmaid program, and it said the windows mobile beta is expiring in [30] then [15] and now [7]
Is there a windows mobile 6.5 beta crack so it won't expire?? I love this OS Please help

Stupid question - My Hx2495 is still on WinM5, but I don't need to run the extra HX2110 / HX2410 at all, and just the 6.5 update, correct?

Thanks
Really GREAT work, Thanks!
Everything OK here, it is preferable to do a hard reset after the update.
Then you also have the nice new background etc.
I do have some problems with Outlook though.
For some reason i cannot setup a new account. Bug maybe?
When i choose <Menu> <Tools> <New account> nothing happens.
In <Options> when I tap on New Account... also nothing.
Can anyone confirm this?
Greetings to all.

However I cannot make a new account.

Did You try to make a new one from today screen?
Click on Email and there's a ''Set Up E-mail''
Works for me - succesfully made a gmail account.

Exactly, on the Today screen I clicked on E-mail (Set Up E-mail).
Next thing I see is the messaging screen where I clicked on <Menu> <Tools> <New Account...>. The screen that is coming back is the same as the opening screen.
When I click in the Today screen on Messaging (bottom right) then I get a different screen with <Setup E-mail>. But when I tap I also go back to the wrong screen ("To create a new message, tap Menu, then tap New.").
Normally I should get a screen where I can setup my IMAP Gmail settings. It does m not however. Maybe I should flash again. I came from 6.1 (the newer build).

Maybe do a Hard reset once more!
If I click on ''Set Up E-mail'' - I instantly get this screen - check picture

Ah, that screen is what I also expected to see!! Thanks for the picture.
But it clearly does NOT show-up in my case.
Soft reset did not help either
Strange, everything else is working flawlessly.
Will try flasing it again, could be a break in my flashing somehow.
Thank you Spiaati for the quick response!

WPV App Data Backup - Backup/Restore Data from IsoStore

Hello guys, flashing custom ROM (or origin ROM) is great, but it's so painful to loss all 3rd application data, games, ebook, etc...So, i make this tool to help you to backup/restore 3rd apps/games' data.
I say again, it only BACKUP/RESTORE your apps/games' DATA, not backup/restore apps/games. Clearly, this tool use ISETool from WP SDK 7.1 to receive-send data to Isolated Storage folder of all apps/games.
Requirements:
- Your PC must have WP SDK 7.1 beta 2 or later
- Your phone is jailbroken
Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?810gdjg7mprmmf2
Instruction:
*Backup:
Run the tool, connect phone to PC, make sure zune is running.
Choose a folder to store backup by pressing Browse button
Press BACKUP button and wait
Now you can flash your ROM, don't worry about 3rd apps's data
*Restore:
(After flashing ROM, you have to manually install all of your apps/games before restoring)
Run the tool, connect phone to PC, make sure zune is running.
Choose a folder to restore backup by pressing Browse button
Press RESTORE button and wait
Now all your data is restored!
p/s: someone tell me that we have to run each apps/games at least once before we do the restore. In my case, i don't run anything and just restoring & everything's fine
Sadly, some apps & games downloaded directly from Marketplace cannot be backup such as Amazon Kindle. But if u use 3Mktplace to download, patch it and deploy to device, everything work perfectly!
I also make a video how to use this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZ67mIbLw6Y&feature=player_embedded
Any feedbacks will be welcomed

some apps/games from marketplace are signed with digital signature. This tool cannot access IsoStore from those apps/games. May be u should use 3MktPlace to download & patch from ur PC first. Then deploy it to ur device

ah ok , I think I am understanding now way it only backuped navigon because that is the only app that I sideloaded
but still a real cool tool to have , because there are lots of people who sideload a lot
and I love it for navigon , it saves me 3 hours of downloading

wow, very good

Thanks a lot man!!!!!! Amazing tool.... This will be a huge time saver.

Let me make sure I understand this correctly. I can backup my Angry Birds progress, hard reset my phone and restore my Angry Birds progress?
EDIT: Ah I guess not since it has a digital signature. That would be awesome if we could backup all signed applications. Lost too many game saves.

Great!
It's good for 7720
Hope backup my sms
Thanks you

about signed apps, i can't find anyway to handle their IsoStore Microsoft must have been so strict to protect these folders. If u run ISETool by hand, trying to access protected IsoStore folder u'll get Group policy error.
i have a [email protected] xap file of Angry birds, u can sideload it & back it up. U can PM me to get it

Is this actually any different from the official ISETool? I mean, the one that actually comes with the dev kit? That one doesn't work for *any* Marketplace application; unless you downloaded the XAP and side-loaded it, the tool won't work.
It's cool and all, but aside from a command-line interface (which I am fine with) to a GUI, what does this enable?

Redstone 10.0.14393.5 - Lumia 920 [UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER] [MASS STORAGE]

Maybe it is already known to some of you but I would like to share that it still possible to upgrade from Windows Phone 8.1 to Redstone if you have a Lumia 920, and to remain the unlocked bootloader with Mass Storage if you use WPInternals. I am assuming this method works for more Lumia x20 devices
My device: Lumia 920
Product code: 059R018
Manumodelname: RM-821-eu-netherlands-315
Steps I took:
-Rolled back device to Windows Phone 8.1 using Windows Device Recovery Tool.
Windows Device Recovery Tool flashed this rom onto my device:
RM821_3051.50009.1424.0005_RETAIL_eu_netherlands_315_05_442325_prd_signed.ffu
-Updated to the latest official Windows Phone 8.1 update for Lumia 920.
-Used WPInternals 1.2 to unlock bootloader and flash SBL3 to enable MassStorage. Partition table of RM821_3051.50009.1424.0005_RETAIL_eu_netherlands_315_05_442325_prd_signed.ffu was used.
-Rooted the device using WPInternals 1.2
-Deployed vcReg_1.5 and used Live Interop Unlock template.
-Deployed customPFD (@Pasquiindustry)
-Modified registry as described here.
-Installed Windows Insider and enrolled for Fast Ring.
-Upgraded to W10 Redstone 10.0.14393.5
-Hardreset after upgrade
The Unlocked Bootloader and MassStorage mode are still working without any problems. I therefore made a full ROM dump (EFIESIP, MainOS, Data) using WPInternals 1.2.
I would upload the ROM but since it is 29GB this would take ages.
(If you have suggestions for where to upload or how to make files smaller, please PM me)

sure the bootloader stays unlocked, os updates cant lock it again. it stays unlocked till you reflash your phone with the recovery tool (or till the device recieves and ota firmwareupdate, which wont happen for old devices at all)
and i can confirm it works. just compress the archive, will end up in 15gb instead of 30gb. did that last week for my 920 too. the dude here from windowsmania.pl already announced custom roms (which are creatable with wpinternals too and are way smaller, cause in your archive you have the data partition too etc; which you shouldnt upload cause it contains access to the ms account etc you used to configure your device). i only replied cause i wanted to warn you to upload that

Hi Guys
Can someone upload a W10 ROM for the Lumia 920, with unlocked loader and root access. I can only find one on megaNZ , it flashes on the phone without any errors using windows phone internals, but goes into a boot loop with the Nokia logo..

-Rooted the device using WPInternals 1.2
-Deployed vcReg_1.5 and used Live Interop Unlock template.
-Deployed customPFD (@Pasquiindustry)
-Modified registry as described here.
-Installed Windows Insider and enrolled for Fast Ring.
-Upgraded to W10 Redstone 10.0.14393.5
-Hardreset after upgrade
The Unlocked Bootloader and MassStorage mode are still working without any problems. I therefore made a full ROM dump (EFIESIP, MainOS, Data) using WPInternals 1.2.
I would upload the ROM but since it is 29GB this would take ages.
(If you have suggestions for where to upload or how to make files smaller, please PM me)

I've tried to do it, I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone with WP Internals, but I can't deploy xaps with the Windows Phone SDK. I even tried to move it to the phone and install it from file explorer, but it doesn't work. How can I deploy the xaps?

...and this guide still work after closing update for the unsupported device (920, my 925..) ? can you explain this in easymode?
thanks

Easy steps

Thank you very much!

Is glance screen working? I installed 10.0.14393.5 but can't find the settings anymore.
And would it be wise to change the registry settings back to original after getting the update?

I think if you hard reset the phone, they go back to original. At least mine says it's Lucia 920 and I changed the keys to be lumina 535 to get the update

Ah, okay. Good to know, since I did a hard reset.
Will my Lumia 920 get further updates after changing back to the original settings?

I don't think so, but I'm not using it right now. Probably we'll need to change the values again

Yes, we do. After changing it back to Lumia-830-settings, there is another update.

you need to change the values everytime to get a new os-update, download of speechfiles and keyboardlayout works fine without (but you have to reopt to insiderring if you did a hardreset). i recommend changing the values to the original ones after every update, otherwise the store does crazy thing (atleast did for me)

Okay, did it. Thanks.
Is there a way to get the glance-function back to life? (The option for it in "personalisation" is missing and that one in "extras" is not working anymore.)

You can upload only EFIESP and MainOS without Data, because the last one is useless.
You can flash EFIESP and MainOS even if you are in WP8.1, but keep in mind that you need to do an hard reset via volume keys.

read pages ~90-100 in the oder thread about old devices running redstone. you find everything there you need

Ah, found it. Thanks. I just can't create dword-keys with InteropTool. But you mentioned, that there could be coming a fix/tweak in the next version of the InteropTool. Perhaps, I will just wait. ^^

there wont, gus isnt able to fix some write issues. without massstoragemode the only way to change them is custompfd + custompfd remote on your desktop

How is the performance? Does x20 devices run better with redstone?

@tofuschnitte:
Okay, I'll try that. But is there a way to enable the glance-setting, which should be in "personalisation"? Perhaps that would be enough?
(And a tweak in the InteropTools to quickly change the registry to, let's say the Lumia 950 oder 830 would be nice. )

Need a howto (phone firmware change)

Hey guys. I'm new here. Hope I've posted this on the right section.
Anyhow, I have the xiaomi note 8 phone (global version) and I wanna update it to the Indian version
for the purpose of adding built-in call recording (which is available on the Indian ver, according to my research)
I've already found from where to download it, that said, I've never done something like this before, and I'd appreciate some guidance on how to go about it properly (without ruining my phone). Could someone please kindly provide me with a simple to follow step by step guide? I have Windows 7 OS btw.
I'd consider myself to have excellent technical skills & computer knowledge, but as said before, this one's a bit out of my depth and I wanna make sure everything is done correctly, so my phone would remain functioning afterwards, and all help would be greatly appreciated!

if you need only call recording use "true phone"
if you still want to change the whole rom make sure it's the right variant
redmi note 8 = ginkgo
redmi note 8 T = willow
miui roms have firmware inside so if you flash the wrong variant your phone is gone
also make sure you remember your MI account
download the rom + adb drivers and flash the rom using xiaomi flash tool

Thanks for your help loopypalm!
One question though, that call recording app you've mentioned, does it allow recording in stealth? Without telling the other person "your call is being recorded" I mean, as that kinda defeats the purpose.

One more Q, is using the xiaomi MI account a must for pre-changing the ROM? Can't I just restore things from the Google account/backups? Thanks.

the MI account is the biggest must
you can't config anything if you lost it
or you can unlock the bootloader and use a custom rom (which is the better option)

I've tried that call recording app, but there's one thing I couldn't resolve which is bothering me: Lock screen text notification of missed calls. With the default google dialer, it used to display something like "missed call, name" but with this one, nothing! Best I've accomplished is blinking LED notification, but then I have to go to the TP app and see who the call was from. Is there any way to address it? I've been thru the app's settings but couldn't find the option.
Also, excuse my ignorance, but if I have my contacts sync'd to the Google account, take regular automated backups into google drive of both whatsapp & phone (app data, call history, sms & device settings) and manually backup the phone's DCIM (photo/video folder) to my computer periodically, is there anything (backup wise) that I'm missing out by not using xiaomi's own backup solution? I have an MI account, but never really used it due to security/privacy concerns of having my data stored by a Chinese company.
Also, thanks again for all of your help! It's much appreciated.

-Make sure you set true phone as the default dialer
-also all notification turned on :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
-also see lock screen setting and make sure "see all notification content" is selected

i never told you to use it
if you install a miui rom (or just wiped "data") it will ask for the mi account to complete the boot, so you can't login to system or restore anything if you forgot the mi account

I appreciate the quick response! Anyhow, it's already set as the default phone app, I've given it all the required permissions, and I have all the notifications enabled (from settings>apps>manage apps>true phone>notifications) and also enabled specifically for missed calls, but this doesn't seem to work for some reason, not sure if it's a theme incompatibility or a bug in the version used (I'm using the exact version you've mentioned) but maybe I'll try to rule those out later.
Now, about the MI account, so if I understand it correctly, you're saying it's only needed to make the phone usable after changing the ROM and that I don't need to make actual use of it (in terms of backup functionality)?

i'm talking about the phone notification type
on aosp it's under Settings/display/lockscreen display/show all content)

yes

My only lock screen settings are in settings>lock screen & settings>notifications>lock screen notifications, and I don't have the option you've mentioned. TP has lockscreen notifications enabled, but they're just not working (even with the latest version, a different theme, and after a reboot) and this part was working fine with the default Google dialer previously. LED notification is working, but not text. Anyhow, it seems I'd be going with the ROM swap later on. Will let you know how it went. And thanks again for all of your help!

Update: Had it rough and things didn't go as expected!
So, I downloaded the mi flash tool & full India ROM, extracted the rom, ran the mi flash tool and gotten all kind of errors that contained .NET in em, so I've installed .NET framework 4.8 (this didn't resolve it) and after googling, it turns out it's a bug in the app which requires the log folder to be manually created, so I've done that (and it was fully resolved) but then when I tried to flash, it said the phone is locked! So I've looked up on how to resolve it, and I've had to change some settings from developer options on the phone, as well as download an additional xiaomi tool for unlocking (which required SMS verification) and it took me multiple tries to get it work, eventually gotten it to work using mobile data & QR scanning, but then it said I have to go back to the developer options>mui unlock and associate it with the MI account, so done that, tried again... and damn app said I have to wait 168 hours (7 days) before trying again, which definitely sucks! I'll revisit this in a week or so and hopefully have better luck next time!

For whom it may concern: unlocking the bootloader is ALWAYS the first step for any phone hacking -- apart from flashing stock OTA updates...
And, yes, it requires a Mi account and takes a full week with any *mi device, if you do everything right. To the best of my knowledge, there's no escaping this.

unlocking the bootloader is better, you can install a custom recovery (twrp/Ofox) and in case you mess up something you can fix it easily (unlike locked bootloader)
keep in mind that when you unlock the it ,all data will be erased,so move your important data somewhere ...
in case you need them :
-VBMETA (important to have for the custom recovery)
-Clean flash steps
i suggest you try some aosp roms , maybe you will like more than Miui ...
