Hi
Problably lots of people already asked this. Believe it or not, I searched the forum and i didnt sow that many information about it. I have a mda compact customized with t-mobile software. Basacly I want to take the T-mobile Stuff out, it dosnt even let me set up a gprs account for another operator.
Any help would be thankfull
Ivo
your best bet would be to get the device unlokcke, ( see the unlock tool in the general section of the forun for the unkocl all in one tool) and then upgrade the rom with that of an imate's or qtek's
hope that helps
Jim
Hi
thanks for quick reply.
I unlocked it already. Its just the t-mob crap i want to get rid off. where about can i donload the roms ?
thanks
found the solution ...
just upgraded it with an original firmware and the no_id file
thanks for the help
Ivo
...and where can i find the original firmware and the no_id file? :?:
I would like to have my Orange m500 clean too! Only with the applications i'd like to use.
Can this only be done with installing those extendedRoms? Its very difficult for me to find a clear tutorial about this.
regards
The ext-rom brands your magician. When you want to get rid of it just
- make a backup of calendar, contacts, tasks etc.
- hard-reset
- folow initialize procedure on screen
- soft-reset as soon as you get the standard WM background & before the customizatiin (=branding) starts.
You need to do this last step after every hard-reset unless you go for BIG Storage & completely wipe-out the ext-rom & get a storage folder of 27Mb instead of 7Mb.
Instructions for BS are to be found on the forum. No need to search for a special rom, you can do it with your current rom.
Cheers, M
thnx @ oltp
I'll give it a try
When I try to upgrade my i-mate JAM to a new special ROM from Kichen after a step this masage apears "Cannot execute the remote comunication program. Plese make sure that the USB/Serial cable is properly connected.
so guys plz help me urgent
Does the same error come up when you flash with a shipped-rom which hasn't been changed?
Does your device respond to any commands from the update program? If so, what happens on your device?
And what did you change in the rom?
As you probably guessed: I don't know an answer to this & i'm trying to figure out what is different in your setup compared to a regular update.
Regards, M
Thanx 2 reply
No dear every thing is OK When I try to update with shiped ROM it works 100% no problem. When I click in my computer the device is located and opens software installs nothing abnormal every thing is as usual, But when I try to update it with special ROM (got from Kichen that I like very much) the folowing masage appears
I guess that romkitchen isn't compatible with magician :-(. You can try to put in the GetDeviceDara.exe from a shipped-rom in the appropriate romkitchen folder, maybe it helps. Cause I love to see this working.
Good luck, M
Let me do it
The rom I got is for windows 2003 SE so I think it should work, now let me act your advise then i'll inform you.
regards
The same problem i have
I try to update one of my friends i-mate JAM in a dfrent PC but the same problem I got. I think the rom is not compatible with JAM. Do you know another ROM to work on my JAM like available in Kitchen???
Well I haven't experimented with RomKitchen & don't know what you want to achieve with it. Ext-roms can be edited with bal666's tool too & there are loads of different (not edited) ext-roms @ the ftp.
& of course there's the BIG Storage hack, with which you trade in the ext-rom for an enlarged internal Storage folder.
Haven't seen anyone yet who really edited the CE image :-(
M
Yes I tried but...
I tried big ROM but in 3rd stage the folowing masage appears "card incilize error" When it tries to back up ROM on SD card. I have MMC not SD Now may be this is cause or somthing other. Have you updated your device with big storage rom & is it OK???
If so I'll try again
I downloaded the ROM form this site http://www.romkitchen.de I updated one of my friends PPC from this site's Rom its performance is 50% increased. but mine (JAM) is not going to update
I did it with a patched shipped-rom :!: Follow this link & I think you should be able to manage http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade
RomKitchen is also on this forum, but I think it's for other devices. You can find it in the wiki.
Cheers, M
Ok let me do it
Thanks dear let me download and check it. One thing that my JAM is from i-mate & there is T-mobie ROM, but its for Magician so should I do it no problem? Will I be able to reload its shiped ROM that I have already. sorry for my broken english
Yes it's no problem to use another magician rom, use maupgradeut_noid.exe to bypass country id error. To flash your current shipped-rom back just follow the same procedure.
Be carefull to backup your current ext-rom cabs though, they do contain some operator specific settings for eg gprs, voicemail etc. You need to install some of them instead of the TMO ones present in the TMO 1.13WWE rom. You can use WinCE cabmanager (available on trial) to have a look inside the cabs & decide wich ones to use.
This is my list of the Dutch TMO 1.13WWE ext-rom cabs anyway:
BlueTooth patch:
BTHUSB_PATCH_AKU26.CAB
MMS:
CAB-Acrosoft-MMS-2.5.0.28-ENU-MagicianAKU2.6-13May06.CAB
Needed in combi with MMS (does contain Dutch T-Mobile specific settings though)

I am having a lot of trouble getting A2dp to work with my ht820.
I have the correct ROM AKU2
done registry changes with regedit
unlocked the phone with sdaunlock
I have copied the three files to the windows directory on phone
executed the Tor_A2DP.cab file from file manager on phone
I am stuck with the "import or modify A2DP related registry values with MobileRegistryEditor.
How do I import these values? I have been reading for days and unable to make the changes manually that will work.
I tried the A2Dp_hack file that is supposed to make the value changes, it says it is will not install.
Perhaps you have security settings on your phone?
There are many ways to import *.reg files... The simplest method it to use Resco Explorer with the registry editor option, here you just install the app and tap the *.reg file and it will be imported into your registry..
A2DP hack and cingulars rom
thanks for response!
I have made the registry changes by hand (not bad). But I have a few questions.
I just got the phone from cingular. Has the same rom as the latest on the HTC site.
I did not load the I-mate rom , i assume that is what i need?
The a2dp hack is not compatiable with the cingular rom?
I tried to load the i-mate software and the phone stops after about 10 seconds and gives error message, so I assume the phone is locked?
Is there a way we can unlock these phones with software available publicly or do I need to call Cingular to unlock?
Thanks for the help!!!!
I'm not sure about this locked business, why don't you just do a search for this. This forum is almost complete... Good luck..
wake up new2city
Did you even read my post? LOL

Sorry to amuse you..
Hi everyone, I just got my first smartphone, an AT&T Tilt (HTC 8925) a couple of days ago. I'm happy with it except that I wish it to display Chinese when browsing webpages. I don't need the interface to be Chinese, nor do I need to input Chinese. I just wish when I visit a Chinese website, I'm not seeing blocks.
Don't know if this makes a difference, but either traditional or simplified Chinese would work (I read both).
Searching the whole forum didn't give me much. Probably people had some discussions before, just I didn't find them yet.
I'm totally new on smartphones. Any help is very much appreciated.
info on the phone:
ROM version: 3.57.502.2 WWE (since shipped I didn't flash the ROM)
ROM date: 07/17/08
Radio version: 1.65.21.18
Protocol version: 25.88.40.05H
I just flashed the SPL to Kaiser-HardSPL-3.56 following instructions. BTW, which version should I use, 3.56 or 3.29/28?
I did not flash the ROM, b/c I'd like to find out more on Chinese language support.

Be sure to backup your device before you try. I am not responsible for any data lost. Your might need a hard reset if it failed... But it is the cab that I have been using for English roms for many devices and it will likely work for you too
you shoud find a chinese font file'ttf',and repair reg

Thank you for the suggestion. I just installed it on my official ATT ROM (WM 6.1). It showed installation successfull. It also said it may not display properly b/c it's designed for a previous version of Windows Mobile.
Anyway, then I visited mitbbs.com and www.sina.com.cn as a test (using Internet Explorer). Both did not show Chinese. I also tried changing encoding to Unicode UTF-8 and it didn't work either. under system settings, I looked at regional settings and didn't find anything Chinese.
Is there any configuration that needs to be done? Do you happen to know what ROM floating in this forum for WM6.1 can indeed incorporate this O2 Chinese support?
Thanks again

For regional setting, check the size of your wince.nls make sure it's > 1mb in size (typical English only is only 300 - 400k in size). But if you already planning to change yr rom, I highly recommand your try my rom. It's pre-configure for Tradition Chinese (HK, mostly), but will work on simplified chinese as well.

It's hidden file under \Windows. Therefore, must use "show all file" in order to display it.

I tried installing CE-Star 2.8 Chinese support on the shipped ROM and it worked.
I then flashed the ROM to Jack's cooked ROM and it works great now. Thank you, Jack.

Instructions to migrate ATT WM6.1 to Jack 2.6 confirmation
Dear All:
I just got the same phone as" CTRC above" but to ensure that I dont make any mistake on updating ROM using Jack's V2.6 from ATT Tilt WM6.1:
ROM version: 3.57.502.2 WWE (since shipped I didn't flash the ROM)
ROM date: 07/17/08
Radio version: 1.65.21.18
Protocol version: 25.88.40.05H
I read all of the above . However, to ensure that I dont run into wall,
Can someone post the step by step instructions including any potential "landmine" on how to migrate from the
ATT ROM above to Jack 2.6 ROM including the instructions if I need to install
those pre-requisites (Soft and Hard SPL ?)and proper Radio ?
Many Thx

Wiki is your good friend here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserIntroductionToROM_Flashing
Hi Jack:
I had already unlock the ATT tilt using unlock code ...Do I still need to run step one below?
1. CID-unlock your device by following the instructions at pof's HTC Kaiser Hard-SPL v1 - CID Unlock & Flash any ROM to your device (4 free)-thread
BTW, I did get the "white screen" on this phone ... and follow the instructions to :
- 1a. download the 5 attached files
1b. pull out the battery, REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !! and reinsert battery (this step *is* important)
1c. connect your PC to phone with a USB cable
2. copy JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe to your device and run it (make sure the USB cable is still connected). If you still get a white screen then reset your device and now try JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe ...
The step (2) above , copy the JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe to the device ...Pls advise which folder and how to run it after taking the SIM OUT ?
Thx
White Screen Issue
Hi Jack:
JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe to your device and run it (make sure the USB cable is still connected). If you still get a white screen then reset your device and now try JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe ...
Are these JumpSPL1.56 or JumpSPL1.93 run from PC or the terminal device itself ? How do I run these two ".exe" files in the device ?
Why am I getting White Screen and others devices dont get white screen ?
Thx

Anywhere. I would copy it to the top level (\). Even if you took your sim out, you can close the phone page (which complaints about sim) by tapping the top right corner or the hardware red button (hang up). Then use "File Explorer", locate the exe files that you copied and click on it.
Hi Jack,
I am new to the Tilt. How do I get to "File Explorer" ? I dont see it on the menu when I open either the "setting" or "programs" ?
BTW, when I run the JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe, do I also need to run the Kaiser Hard-SPL v1 again ? what's the right sequence ?
Thx
RESET
Hi Jack:
Is the rest pwer+camera+ "navigation" at the same time to get Tri-colour ?
if NOT, which three at the same time can "reset" ?
Thx
[REF] Easiest way to SIM unlock your Elf/Elfin even if it's "MCC+MNC = None"
First of all, sorry for my bad english...
Here goes the best way I found to unlock all Elf/Elfin, even those with the deadly "MCC+MNC=None" (wich is my elfin).
I saw some people say that when flashed with "Elf_Elfin_2.11.0.0_MFG_ModuleBuild" the phone it's not SIM locked anymore, but after reflashing with another rom it got locked again.
I tried that myself and it was true, I flashed "Elf_Elfin_2.11.0.0_MFG_ModuleBuild", then flashed other rom (with only the OS part) over it and bam, was locked again.
So the locking part should be in the OS. After looking over the system files, I found two files (SIMLock.exe and SIMLock.exe.0416.MUI [my OS was BR Portuguese]) and thought "here is the locking problem" (because "Elf_Elfin_2.11.0.0_MFG_ModuleBuild" don't have those files in the system folder!). Then I deleted those files and it wasn't SIM locked anymore... but it didn't find any networks.
So I serached a little more (google is your best friend in times like this) an discovered that the file rilgsm.dll is responsible for the network... It starts and calls SIMLock.exe, if SIMLock.exe returns a valid SIMcard, then rilgsm.dll starts the network service.
So that's the diference between "Elf_Elfin_2.11.0.0_MFG_ModuleBuild" and the other roms, its rilgsm.dll don't have the part that calls to SIMLock.exe, it just starts the network service based on the SIM card you have inserted.
So I just took that dll from that test rom and copied over another rom and it worked like a charm!
Enough talking, here's what you gotta do to SIM unlock your Elf/Elfin (no matter what rom you have):
You will need this file (unlocked "rilgsm.dll")
- Extract the file you just downloaded to a temporary folder.
- Turn on your mobile WITHOUT the SIM Card.
- Connect your Elf to your PC (activesync).
- Find the files "rilgsm.dll", "SIMLock.exe" and "SIMLock.exe.0***.MUI" (the *** depends on the language of your OS) on the windows folder of your mobile and make a bakup of them (in case you want to SIM lock it again).
- Copy the extracted "rilgsm.dll" over the one on the windows folder (say yes when it asks to replace the file).
- Delete both "SIMLock.exe" and "SIMLock.exe.0***.MUI".
- Turn off your mobile.
- Insert any SIM Card (that didn't work before) and turn your mobile on again and enjoy your newly unlocked ELFin!
If you intend to flash some other rom, just copy the dll again and it's ready to go.
Hope this helps.
Great find!!!
For Rogers users who are using the regular stock ROM, it is probably a good idea for them to use the regular free unlocking method because rilgsm.dll is responsible for Rogers Name Display. Other than that, I hope it works well for everyone else!!!
Anyone else tried this?
yes, I have, did not work. phone does not have simlock.exe or simlock.exe.xxxx.mui on windows folder, and just replacing rilgsm.dll does not affect carrier lock. when inserting sim card from other operators, it still asks for subsidy code.
Tested phone is:
ELF010050
BSTAR502
IPL: 2.24.0002
SPL: 2.26.0000pof
99HEH077-00
Operator Tim Brazil
ps.: I tried as well when phone was with stock rom, and was the same thing.
br
Good idea!!
I haven't tried your procedure but I also know that OS contained in "unbricker rom" (test only rom) do SIM unlocking, so I believe this will work . I will try it soon in my free time. Thanks!!!
I'll try to reflash my elfin tomorrow and do some other tests with it, to see if there are any problems with some specific roms.
My elfin:
ELF010050
BSTAR502
IPL 2.24.0002
SPL 2.24.0000
99HEH077-00
Claro Brazil
I'll post something more tomorrow.
Sorry for the lack of testing before posting (newbie yet).
i would feel better by patching or replacing the simlock.exe file instead of changing the dll.
zerostuff, why don't you add a poll to this thread to see if it works for most people?
Thank you for the idea dsixda.
I sent the .exes and .dlls to a friend of mine and asked asked him if he can find the locking part in those files (because i'm just a normal user and don't know anything about hex editing and stuf).
And I'm still testing some roms on my elfin to see if I can find a working and a non-working way to unlock it (so far, all the roms are working).
thinking of buying a htc elf
hi all im thinking of buying a htc elf but its locked to orange is it easy to unlock and get rid of the orange start up logo .
would you give me step by step guide on how to do it ?
thanks in advance
As you can see, some is easy to unlock others no solution yet...
@ zerostuff
elfin ELF010050 BSTAR502 from Vivo Brazil, had the simlock.exe and simlock0416.exe.mui . I replaced those files with and small clock app, and replaced rilgsm.dll , and did not worked (error 'unavailable file', and then hang) . So, I deleted the simlock.* , and phone got into menu, but no signal.
indeed, this is a way to go, but still need improvements.
@ chester-lad-2009
search board, there are many topics regarding that. this topic is not for that discussion.

hi, i use onyx 4.43 rom and when i try to delete a message tell me "could not delete. i try in windows and in my elfin too using total comander and sktools. how can delete this files?
I've try on my HTC Touch 3450 (PT) substitute the file and i can't! And i can't found these 2 files...
Using Total Commander
First we move the rilgsm.dll to windows folder, then delete the two files SIMLock.exe & SIMLock.exe.0***.mui, and ignore the Warning! Could not delete 1 file(s)...
Then reboot the ELFin and it´s done....loooooool... No need to put codes...
Just doing those steps, it´s done the SIM_Unlock
Strange??? i don´t know, but work´s
Note: Tested with One PT ELF and One ELFin BRS, worked fine!!!
Great post works like a charm!
i needed to use another explorer since my original rom dont let me move or copy windows folder file!
i used WinFileCE.exe to do the trick , but it worked !
1 more thing , is it possible to cook a rom with this files inside!? because if i hard reset the phone it relocks it self by this method!!
These two files they realy removed???
I cant' remove this two files because the cellphone is using them, how can i stop process's on Windows Mobile?
Using TC I was able to copy rilgsm.dll to \Windows. But simlock.* are a different story and I wasn't able to delete them.
Anyway, using this version of rilgsm causes the phone connection to die: it cannot be set on from Comm Manager. And then after some time, Comm Manager throws two or three errors.
It's an HTC Touch from Claro, Argentina. The ROM is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442391

Not worked Efl 3450 ( 64/128)
The idea was great, but not worked with Efl 3450 ( 64/128)...
My device was patched (IPL 2.27/SPL 2.28 cmonex) and Rom ELVES ROM V5.0 - CE OS 5.2.2021.
No files found in windows dir "SIMLock.exe" and "SIMLock.exe.0***.MUI", so i just copy this file (unlocked "rilgsm.dll") to windows dir and i did a soft reset.
Result: deviced hanged.. new soft reset: boot ok, but no radio ( even trying to turning on manually), just wi-fi working..(nice to make calls from skype )
I don't have any clues about how to bypass simlock..
Any help will be appreciate.
Cheers
RILGSM.dll is not locked/unlocked
The thing is, that file controls GSM<-->PDA radio functions. As you took RILGSM from a "test" rom (is unlocked one)
When u sim unlock a device, it doesnt overwrite RILGSM with "unlocked" properties
The solution will be rewrite a RILGSM.dll file, and write a SIMLOCK.exe file with spoof properties to make think device is unlocked
