Hhi thanks for your hard work. Im very new to this (2 days!). I got a SPV M500 and changed it to the 1.12 rom called TODO and installed Wisbar2 and some other things like pdf reader and TCMP.
I tried to use the software "Photo Contacts" as described in my manual but it is missing. This is the term i searched and found your new thread - thank you
I assume I missed out a step or something - what is extrom - is this what i need to do- install an extrom?
Please could you explain (in baby language!) the best course of action, im hoping not to start again with bigstorage etc and instead would just like to install "Photo Contacts" or something similar and perhaps some of the other programs you have mentioned above. Hopefully that is possible.
Thank you.
..
Definitely helps thanks for your patience!
Ciao

Hi,
I'm confused with the mass of information and complicated procedures I found here. :?
I got a HTC Magician here in Switzerland by Orange (known as SPV M500)
Operator version is: 6.06.5.164
ROM version: 1.06.00 WWE
Radio Version: 1.05.10
Protocol version 1337.39
ExtROM version: 1.06.164 WWE
I surely would like to improve the performance and especially the internal' memory by applying some upgrade.
Could a nice person guide me toward best possible solutions, please?

Thanks; I checked this link, but except some valuable information, I found the whole thing even more tough to understand. I'm not an engineer, I'm just looking for a helping hand.
So I reiterate. Can anyone answer my question?
I'll have a go:
Upgrade your ROM. Yours is about 1.06, current is 1.12 (or 1.13? Not much differnce).
Ensure there is a language version the same as yours, and then upgrade. That's a complicated enough procedure, but follow the instructions carefully provided with the ROMs and you'll be ok.
The upgrade for more memory, is the BigStorage ROM hack. This will replace the area on your phone known as "Extended Memory", and convert it into more useful "Storage" that you can use. Basically, your phone gains 20mb of usable space. I've written an ENORMOUS post about this here (near the bottom of the screen)
To do BigStorage, you should use a tool floating around on the board that will patch ANY rom to BigStorage. That way, you can hack your own ROM for this. This is important because the first 400bytes or so of your ROM are unique to you, and you want to keep that. So I recommend:
1. Backup your PPC with Sprite backup or similar.
2. Upgrade your ROM to 1.12 (public sources or from the XDA Developers FTP site).
3. Make a backup of your ROM (optional, but advised).
4. Apply the BigStorage ROM hack.
You may be able to skip 4 if you can find the ROM you want at (2) already hacked. This is likely. But whatever you do, follow the instructions provided carefully. There are a couple of errors that are SUPPOSED to come up in the procedure. Read the instructions and you'll know what's supposed to happen.
Phew. It takes some learning, but you'll get there.

Hi Vijay,
You're great, many many thanks!! I assume I got a tough way to go. So I'll do it slowly so as to avoid mistakes.
My device' language is English, so no prob to upgrade with English. Now I guess I'll have to install manually the GPRS and WAP' parameters after upgrading, given the ROM does not come from my operator, isnt'it?
Orange M500 Upgrade
Hello. I too am thinking about upgrading my Orange M500 from 1.06.00 to the latest ROM. I have an Orange UK version of the phone. But 2 problems:
1. I have trawled all sites I can think of (including this one) and can't find an appropriate upgrade file anywhere - is anyone able to post a link?
2. I can't find anywhere that tells me what the advantages of upgrading are! Anyone fancy listing them?
Thanks!

Same here, I could not find information on what is improved (or not) with any of the existing ROM upgrades.
Surely they must be UP, but still it's strange there's no comment.
vijay555,
I am also fairly new with updating roms and such but I did manage to complete an update with the help of this amazing site and all of you guys out there. Your knowledge and advice has been wonderful and I thank all of you. Now, here is my question. I have a TMobile MDA from Germany I believe but with ROM ver 1.12.00WWE
Rom date 05/28/05
Radio ver 1.13.00
Potoc ver 1337.43
ExtRom ver 1.12.128 WWE
I have wanted to try the bigstorage rom but in reading all the posts and helpers I feel it is too much for me to copy to SD and yada yada yada. Am I understanding you correctly in assuming that in the xda FTP I would find a pre made bigstorage rom that I could upgrade onto my unit. I understand that I would probably have to re upgrade my radio unless there was a BS rom that had the latest radio in it. Would I be able to ask you that if I am right in assuming this do you know which of the roms I would use in the FTP site to give me that pre made BSrom and which "make" would or should I use(such as O2, orange) I line in Victoria, BC, Canada but I dont think that affects what "make" I should use, or does it? Sorry this is so long winded and I thank you in advance for your help.

Hello!
While this may seem like a newbie question for the seniors, here goes..
Can i edit my ROM to remove some files that i consider useless for me ? I know how to extract the ROM and of course i can edit the extracted data/files, but how do i like put it back on the device?
Thanks.
PS: I am using i-mate JAMin with AKU2.13.9.23 WWE
EDIT: I Googled for "Editing ROMs" and came up with Hex Editors and Zophar's Domain. Does it have to do anything with what i want?
try search for 'rom cooking'
Thanks.
Did that, in fact i tried "prophet rom cooking" and came up with lots of useful stuff. Now i am gonna try it out.
BTW: can i try out ROM Cooking on an Emulator such as the one from Microsoft? Instead of putting my device to the danger of bricking?
Check out this threat - a bunch of new stuff for WM6 from the Kaiser ROM.

it's in my sig too
how can i make these into CAB files?
Excuse what may be a daft question but:
Can these be copied over to the device and placed in a folder other that the Windows folder?
The reason I ask is that when trying all the various Touch components it slows accessing my Windows folder down dramatically. (Also slows the device down generally)
There are no ROMS that include these different components for the Charmer.
cheers
im so sorry for bothering but can someone make these files into a cab PLEASE!!

Matt,
I have successfully installed the new Home plugin using the theloon 4.1 beta, however I can't get the new comm manager to install at all. Any ideas on what I need to do? I don't have touchflo enabled, in case that matters.
I took a quick look at the rgu file - it is very different from the one in the 8B touchflo version. It's also about 140k larger. It doesn't look like it's the correct file.
I don’t know why but I can’t enable the Favorites People tab. There is a registry entry or something else to make this work?
Thanks
Hi everybody!!
glad to be there...I bought a P4550 today (i'm happy happy happy), and want to change rom
My phone is originally sim-unlock (original HTC?) but I don't know if it's SPL-unlock...
I've tried the HardSPLv1 but stay stuck on a grey activesync icon after unplug-plug operation...not so cool...read somewhere from a guy that you can continue the processus. Right?
Some informations:
Bootloader:
KAIS130
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLD-8
Elements:
ROM version : 1.56.406.5
Date ROM : 08/30/07
Radio version : 1.27.12.17
Protocol version : 22.45.88.07W
WinXP with ActiveSync 4.5
So, do I need to HardSPL it?? or can I directly flash the Rom???
Thanks in advance for any information!!!!
again, I'm happy

HardSPL
You most certainly want to HardSPL your device. It's the best invention since sliced bread.
I suggest running HardSPL and then finding a ROM here you'd like and go to town that way. You can seriously spend weeks reading all the posts to find relevant information--use google to search these forums, it yields far better results than the built in one.
FYI on google if you sarch for "Kaiser HardSPL" you'll get results for all kinds of websites...including those that archive old postings here. A quick fix for searches if you're like me and have a Google Search bar in Firefox is to add "site:xda-developers.com" to your search (e.g. "Kaiser HardSPL site:xda-developers.com").
Check this link for more detailed searches using Google: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314616
I can almost guarantee that any question you can come up with in the first few weeks of owning/beginning to flash your device that there's no question you can ask that has not already been asked/answered (including this one I'm responding to).
Cheers,

hi everybody, i have a problem with my kaiser 8925 that after i used for 2 days ,everything was working good ,but a notice that my external memory got stoke and when i pullet out my phone not recognize any storage memory please help me and let me know what i have to do.
Thanks Quentin- for your fast reply!!
Before I posted this thread, I've readen a lot of infos and I can't find an appropriate answer.
Almost all persons who use the HardSPL have an ATT phone, or other, and have sim-lock. That's not my case.
And can't find the direction when you're stuck on a grey icon after unplug/plug. This problem happens on Vista...But I'm on WinXP...I'm confused...
Hope there's someone here who had same problem...
Thanks again for all this beautifull work on xda-dev

Hi,
I have a german TyTN II (Vodafone VPA Compact V) and using one of Duttys ROMs at the moment. Some time ago when I thought about flashing my ROM, I dumped the original ROM stuff from my TyTN II to my pc.
For getting the dump files I used "itsutilsbin-20070323". At all its 4 RAW files.
To make my Device flashable I had to use Kaiser-HardSPL. After that I had the white-screen problem which I fixed by following some thread here but I cant really remember which one.
So now to my question. By the given info, is it possible to revert the device back to OEM like for warranty or return?
Ive looked up some (or some more) threads around here and there are many topics to this thesis but well I guess its kind of to many topics to know what to do if you dont really know what ur actually planning to do
So I try it this way. Im happy with links to fitting topics or pm or someone who can care me like a baby ^^

There is a german VF ROM. You need to download the right RadioROM (1.27.11.12) and Splash Screen, too. You can find both parts per search here at xda-developers

hi,
okay ive done the reconstruction of my original rom and flashed my kaiser like the documentation of kitchen says. well everything is fine except internet. it pops up an error msg when i use the ie (something like non valid adress, dunno the english error msg). Besides, im also missing some symbols in system settings such as hsdpa settings or device information. So i guess something is wrong with my reconstruction or at least i missed some options to set up while extrakting or cooking the rom.
can anyone help me?
sooooo ... finally ive found a solution. i recognized some other people having the same problem in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337066
At the beginning it says to download kitchen link to the file "kaiserkitchen.12-21-07.rar". Problem was, this version doesnt work for me. After a while i notized the author of the thread gives a link to this kitchen version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343044
Using it is simple and now works 100%
BTW: Thanks to Melkor again, your links are very helpful
