Hi after putting the official t mobile upgrade on my english mda compat all was well for about 3 weeks then disaster.
If i hard reset and let it load the tmobile custom then when i go in to contacts and load contacts from sim card tthe phone starts playing up big time
If i highlite 1 contact it will not actualey dial that 1 contact but it highlites as many as the styles is draged across
Also if I go into file explorer and try opening the storage card it will open sd card but when i tap a file it just highlites it and all other files that styles is draged across ... please somebody help ...
any ideas ..
even just abuse about me being a newbie is better than the last post i put with 46 viewings and not 1 reply!!!!!!
thanks in advance
Since you now got all these problems, why not try to upgrade to 1.13 or reinstall the 1.12? It might help you. Guess it won't be a good idea to put a backup back on your mda after reinstalling or upgrading.

I have tried putting different roms on it taken from this forum but I either get an id/country code error or it gives me the same problem .
I am only useing the roms that are exe files as I am not brave enough to use all the other programs like maug? or what ever it is ....
If i can wipe my mda clean then try putting one back on I hope this will do the trick
So to anybody out there please can you tell me which roms to use or how I can sort my big problem out, that would be nice ..
Abuse is accepted help would be good thank you for looking and I hope it makes you laugh 8)
billbob, download this 1.13 WWE upgrade from here: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/Shipped_ROMS/NL_11300_131_11200.exe
When it's downloaded:
1) Using WINZIP, extract the EXE file to any folder you like.
2) Once you have extracted the files into your directory, download the file attached down here and copy it into the same folder as the files.
3) Double click on the ActiveSync icon, then go File -> Connection Settings
4) Untick Allow USB connection
5) Then run this attached file (MaUpgradeUtNoId.exe) from the folder. It may give you a country id error the first time you run it. If it does, just run it again and it will work!
Hope it fixes your problem. If it doesn't at least you would have the latest ROM ;-)
And when you're really really desperate and want a 'clean' device, so the upgrade program doesn't see your versionz: give it a hard-reset and when the first screen shows after the splash or anytime before you finish the init. procedure give a softreset. This way you won't have an OS so the getdevicedata function is NOT working and the upgrade software will report you're upgrading from version 'blanks only'.
I did it myself but won't recommend it.
Hope you don't need this tip.

hmmmmmm
Tried the all new 1.13.00 upgrade and loaded on my contact and hey all was well loaded tomtom on and all still great .finally got to bed at 1.30am
Now to some thats not late but considering i have to be up for work at 5am and then drive a lorry that weighs just under 44tonnes (why do so many people eat heinz soup) this kind of sleep pattern is not a good idea
after weaving my way to the drop off point where i would get some sleep I noticed that the phone had gone in to align screen mode
so phoned t mobile for help .nice person told me "oh your rom is newer than the one on the mda she had and did i do a hard reset after new rom upgrade ?"
anyway did as told and still same problem
sorry for going on
problems are
The contacts cannot be accessed1 at a time
File explorer will not open the file that the stylus is highlighting
the calender hard button puts the phone into align screen mode
this problem happens with diffrent roms on the phone so am thinking WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?????
will be speaking to tmobile tommorow and they may tell me its my fault
so please all you nice kind clever (no we wont put good looking this time )lovely people any help ???????
Sorry billbob i've read this before in a thread, at the time there wasn't a solution provided. Maybe I can find it back.
M
lady I spoke to today sounded impressed that i had 1.13 version on mda will she will be calling me tommorow to advise me what to do
aparently 1 of the engineres was upgradeing his at time of my phone call so that may hav ehelped with my case for them to sort it will tell all tomorrow night
thanks
Cannot find the thread, the guy/girl didn't use correct English (mine isn't perfect too, I know) and I remember that 'stylus' was spelled funny. Searching hasn't provided me with the thread I'm looking for.
By the way, the roms you've tried were they shipped or modified? Or both, otherwise I would have tried a shipped one, guess you've done that by now, don't you?
Hope the lady can help you.
Regards, M
Morning / Afternoon / Evening to All,
Not to be critical of this wonderful website which is full of great resources but, I have noticed that the useful info is hard to find.
So I thought it might be a good idea to post all of my items in the one place so here goes.
I will update these as i go.
TIP
If you want the CAB Files in remain in your PPC after install simply change the files preferences to "Read Only"
since i was just upgrade from wallaby to magician, i found all your posting, instructions and cab files very very helpful thanks a lot ampda, you rules :!:
Hello ampda , Great Work Friend . . . many thanx for these cabs and instruction files.
Cheers for taking the time to make them for the rest of us noobs
Glad to Help
verry nice indeed but there are simpler ways of doing the discribed below
(copied this out of pdf file )
3. Copying your “Extended ROM” Files before Big Storage
You need to copy the files from your “Extended ROM” before you go the Big Storage as you will need to install some of them after you’re finished, i.e. MMS etc. They will be deleted after the upgrade (and that’s the whole point).
a. To copy them from your Magician do a hard reset (push the power button and reset button at the same time).
b. Go through the screen alignment, time zone etc and get ready…….. when you reach the “Completed” screen it will ask you to “Tap your screen…. As soon as you tap the screen you get 3 sec to soft reset (push the reset button). If you miss it as I did just do a hard reset and try again.
c. After you do b. above go to the built in file explorer and under “My Device” you will now see the treasured “Extended_ROM” with all its files. Copy the directory straight to your SD Card then to your PC, keep them safe.
its just a bit easyer when you just fill in
go to windows folder on PPC and search loadvdisk.exe
run it and you will see your ext_rom (until you reset )
not to sure the usual file explorer can do this but Resco file explorer will find it
another progie that can find it is total commander :

Hi!!
Thanks for all your help!
Does anyone konw, or is there a way to save to the pc the SMS messages both received and sent??
Cheers!
use jeyo mobile companion. u can backup all of your messages, contacts (phone and sim), etc.
Hi!
Thanks for the tip!
By the way, and i think these questions are more tricky, is there any way NOT to charge the battery while the phone is connected to the USB?
And while using the calling software, when inputing the nunbers, to make the sim card entries dissapear and only have the ones that are in the contacts? Because most of the times i have a double entry and it really makes me mad!
Thanks!
The way to NOT to charge the battarie is to make some changes to your cable - cut +5v from USB (or make a switch).
the tray launch only app.... theres now way to BROWSE for the program you want on the tray?
sucks that you have to type out the entire path just to get it
Any idea whether these (or more specifically the camera speckles change) will work on a Wizard?
Remove Camera
Noob question here.
Once i install the camera & album to Storage how do i delete it from the \windows . Maybe not possible due to it being in ROM. In this case I end up with 2 camera software? So i'm curious what is the idea of installing in storage.
Halo ampda, i tryin to follow your how_to_ppc_upgrade.pdf buat I stuck in the step 4 backing up your existing rom to PC, in romupdate.exe I still confuse about the PORT things. can you help me to, which one to use?
please help...
thanks
Thanks for nice posting AMPDA..
I have a question,
I installed ampda_CameraV2.7b21026_RAM.CAB
but my camera version was 2.70 (build 18727) and it is still the same. I reset the device but still didnt become build 2026.
Do you have an idea?

Guys,
This sharing is really useful. I just bought mine few days ago from ebay. Mine doesn't come with ANY EXT ROM at all! No software such MMS, smart dial etc.
Can anyone provide a link to get back those basic EXT ROM software so that I can upload it back? ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/ is not working for me. Any help pls?
Pillow...
Pillow write your email address. I'll send you them via email. (Those which are not device spesific).
What is the type of your device and rom versions?

Hi Lupusic,
Thanks a lot for your kind offer. I manage to pull up the files from the FTP using cuteFTP software. Some how my company laptop doesn't allow default browser connection....
My phone is O2 mini and has v.1.13 for both rom & radio. I think it's BigStorage (not sure though).
Any good advice for me? I mean anything at all....
Thx again
Pillow....
Guys, I'm not able to run Boot Image Tool. It gives me this error
Component 'mscomctl.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid
Any idea?
Thx....
Hi AMPDA,
Thanks for all your postings on big storage which gives detailed instructions step-by-step. Very brief and consise. Also now I notice you have put everything into 1 place like a table for pick and choose. Can it get any better ? Can't ask for anything more. You have so many useful cabs and instructions. I have benefitte a great deal. ONCE AGAIN Thank You.
Hi guys,
I am currently using the orange spv m500, I upgraded radio rom to 1.13 and the last orange update for the 1.12 rom.
What will happen if I choose a rom from another operator (e.g. tmob)? How do I get the setttings from my current provider back (GPRS, MMS) ? (only settings! not interested in all the programs, I will reinstall all necessary software manually; it's still windows :? )
Will there be any software installed from the rom of another operator? if so, will this prevent to set my orange settings back?
Thanks!
By the way, why are there barely any custom orange roms?
No problem at all, just backup your current rom. Flash with the new rom, prevent ext-rom from starting or go directly for BIG Storage & apply the setting cabs for gprs etc.
Cheers, M
Ps. Dutch how to's are available.
which cabs from external storage
great, big storage it probably is! Hoping the new rom will also work with the extended bluetooth stack from this forum.
besides that, it gives me the opportunity to get rid of the horrible fonix voice dailing app.....completely useless with a long contact list....
fonix voice dail: "would you like to update your contacts?" NO! "please speak more clearly"...NOOOOOOO! (....people in the bus staring at you.... :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: )
anyway, does anyone know which cabs from the external storage are absolutely necessary for orange?
The one thing you really need is the Orange network settings. Get a copy of WinCE CabManager (>10 trial executions) to view what's inside your Orange cabfiles. Usually the name says it all. Then after an upgrade you can easily decide what to load & what not.
Besides on BIG Storage a hard-reset its all it takes to get rid of an unwanted Orange program. So make a list of things you wanna keep, execute the ext-rom cabs on look what it gives you. Gambled wrong? Hard-reset & start again, doesn't take so much time as long as you don't install other third-party apps during this process.

Hello,
I've updated my I-mate PPC to WM5, trying various different ROMS.
Everytime I reflash, all of my contacts, appointments, notes etc stay on the phone. Also the software I installed before flashing stays in the system. Is this normal? How do I get it to completely wipe everything and put on an entirely new system so it's like a brand new phone?
Also, the storage size stays at 14.57MB, which isn't enough. Why isn't it making it bigger to say 32MB or whatever the Rom is supposed to set it at??
Sorry if this is all just because I haven't read the instructions properly but I can't seem to find the solution to these problems.
Cheers,
Tim
you format diskinchip from the bootloader
any chance of getting some more info? doing a search for diskinchip gives me nothing... really all I want is more storage memory than 14.57 MB...
Cheers
HELMI SP2
Hi there
Use the ROM provided by moeya. Helmi SP2! Great rom.
Itll automatically give you 30mb storage, instead of 15mb.
All th details to format the chip is in th readme, provided with the download!!

i-mate PPC to WM5
Hello Tim,
please note that the upgrade from PPC to WM5 is not possible in some cases it can run and get installed but in most cases it might damage the device main board and in this case the device will no longer works and also note that the windows mobile 2005 is not easy to work on the 2003 operating system like what the PPC got. and also about the storage size on the PPC its not enought because of the programs that get installed with the operating system of the PPC and take from the size of the actual memory on the device i hope you take the advice in conisderation about upgrading to wm2005.
Brad
thanks guys I've installed the Helmi rom and am very happy with it...
one thing that I wish it had, that other WM5 ROMs have, is a memory icon on the bottom taskbar. Is it as simple as a registry edit?
Also, holding the on button down doesn't turn the backlight off anymore - is there a fix for this??
Dear Tobias and friends,
I would like to install Real VGA and the other 2 DPI cab files into my Italian htc x7510 WM 6.1 pro but, beig really a newbye,...WHERE have I to put these files ? In wich Folders ?
2nd Question...Is there any risk ? It seems someone in the forum had problems due to the WM 6.1... Is there someone who tried successfully Real VGA on an Italian version ? With wich precautions ?
Thank you for an answer
I've used RealVGA on my x7510 since I got it w/o any problems at all. Works great and it makes the huge display really worthwhile.
When you install it be sure to install to main memory, not the flash drive or a storage card -- that's true for the RealVGA program and both dpi programs. Then reboot your x7510, open RealVGA, select whichever dpi you want and it will reboot again -- should then work fine.
Hello,
I try to use the sw but I have problems with the excel program, dont run if the realVga is intalled in my HTC 7510 spanish.
when I made the installation I have a message that said: Missind 128 DPI resources
ipsecvpnres.dll is not found.
Can you help me?
thanks a lot

I had a similar problem (not ony with excel but with any program with a box to edit a number).
I think that the problem is with the SIP keyboard that does not work on 96/128 dpi. Install another SIP keyboard (like resco keyboard) and all should work fine again.
Or you could just drop the three files in the attached RAR into your Windows folder...
missing msimit
Thank you all
I installed Real VGA and also the file you suggested but there are still problems:
1) first of all there is a message that msimit.128.dll and msimit.96.dll are missing. Where can i find them ?
2) some programs do not run properly: e.g. in Agenda Fusion 8.60 contacts, the icons commads at the bottom are not displayed.
3) If it will become necessary, how can I go back to the original display ?
you must copy the msim.128.dll and msim.96.dll to another folder, rename it to msimit.128.dll and msimit.96.dll, and copy back to windows-folder
if you want your original display with 192dpi, start real vga and set it to 192dpi, restart, ready. some progs are not working with that, eg s2u2 will not go back to 192dpi
Dear All,
I solved the problem with missing msimit : it was enough a files' rename.
Still open instead the problem with Agenda Fusion 8.6 (Developer One). At 192 dpi works properly but, at 96 and 128 dpi, even working well, the icon buttons at the bottom pages disappear, so that commands are not available.
Anyone knows a way to solve it ?
