Hey everybody,
First I want to apologize for my incredible bad English. Nevertheless I think you all will get the message.
I have a question about installing a Crossbow ROM on a Dutch CID-Locked T-mobile MDA Vario. I have been reading a lot on this forum to do so, but till now I didn't manage to install it. I have read the 'little tutorial', but to keep my warranty I do not want to CID-unlock.
On this forum I also read about a guy who managed to install ROM's on a CID-locked MDA. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271043
But, it he says that it is for 2.x OS. Is it also possible to do this for a Windows Mobile 6 ROM?
I also tried to modify the nk.nbf ROM with TyphoonNbfTool, but as soon as I save this file it is only 1 KB? Hopefully somebody has a simple solution for this n00b.
Thanks in advance, Bart

Thanks Proland, for your quick reply. I have read this tutorial before I, but as I mentioned in my question, I rather not CID-unloch my device, since my warranty will be gone. I was just checking whether there is a more simple and safe way to install crossbow. But nevertheless, thanks again for your quick reply!

i used this on my cidlocked g4

WOW, Proland, your the best. This is EXACTLY what I mean. It's a pity I can't download this 'Shelltool'. The links seem to be dead. If you could send this program to me I would be very gratefull. Hopefully you still got this file or know a working link. In case you still have it, my e-mail is [email protected]
Thanks in advance, Bart
I managed to install WM 6! Thanks again!

Hi,
I am expecting my German XDA in the mail in the next few days.
I have been reading this forum for the past 2 weeks, and have tried to wade through all the great advice to educate myself on ROM upgrading issues. I would like to clarify that I understand this properly.
As I understand, in order to render my new XDA "O2-free" and customizable, not to mention english, I need to install a new ROM - probably the latest Imate ROM or maybe the PDAMobiz ROM.
Before I do this, should I Unlock the CID? From my reding, this will allow me to the install any ROM.
Is this an accurate understanding of everything involved?
Are there other better options to achieve my goal of a non-branded non-operator specific Jamin/Neo?
Is there a way to save my original German O2 ROM if it became necessary to return the unit for service?
I hope people do not object to thsi post. I know that it can be irritating when newbies post on topics which have already been discussed thoroughly. I have spent at least 2 weeks trying to educate myself on the procedures, and really would just like if some knowledgeable contributor could reassure me that I have not missed something obviuos.
Thanks,
Ronan

I'm still updating the page, but its working fine for my dutch s200 (now english dopod rom)
Hi,
I tried to follow the steps as outlined, but when I get to teh first soft reset, the device locks, and I can do nothing with it!
Please tell me how to fix it. Can I use bootloader?
How?
Thanks,
Ronan
Crisis averted!
Got into bootloader and installed the dopod rom.

Dear Ro,
have you upgrated your PDA?
Can you write your procedure?
Best regards
Daniele
please, read this topic and tell me what you think about it...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=54878
I entered bootloader then used the Dopod ROM with the modified romupdateutility.
I have not tried anything else.
Does anyone know of a solution for us SPL 2.15.0001 users? We seem to be very restricted in options.
Ro
Please, can you write the links where it is possible to download this rom and all the necessary files?

Thanks dears,
I have updated it with Dopod rom......but now....how can I update to I-mate JAMin (italian) rom?
Does someone have an Idea to how do it?
Thanks, thanks, thanks
Daniele
Yes, you have to go to ftp.clubimate.com there you can find the JAMin ROM's and also you can choose the language you want.
As you know, first, you must CID unlock, then you can download your favorite ROM. Tell us your opinon after install it.

C'mon man, this is not a "feed me for free" community. It's a developers forum. It really doesn't sound to me that you are here to develop something.
Start reading and stop asking silly questions or i will have to take charges.
Just so that you don't think I am truly a bad person :
Connect the PDA to the PC using the USB cable
On your PC start the Rom Update Utility(aka. RUU)
Read and follow stepps and try not to start any programs while the RUU is updating your rom and you'll be fine.
learning?
ok so bear with me... i thoroughly read equinoxe's tut, and was wondering; do flash the t-mo oem rom, than follow the tutorial to step up to tnt 5 pro?

here u said, ur a complete noob and u dont know how to flash,
Than how come u already got faria crossbow on ur wizard ?
well, either ur kidding or u bought it just now with faria crossbow already installed ???
i bought it like that
OK , if u r on a CID LOCKED G4 u need to reinstall the OEM rom then install shell tool or SoftSPL and install the TNT rom using shell tool / SoftSPL
shell tool

B,R
i'm learning
i have gotten as far as wizard love rom, and i've hard spl'd but shelltool doesn't seem to like my device... sometimes it freezes completely, and if it doesn't freeze it wont boot past the ffx looking screen. i've also tried the custom ruu i found in one of the tutorials.
flash back
at first you must flash back to an original rom. you can download it from the site from your provider. than you can start the shelltool.
remember that the screen from your wizard must be completly white bevor you can continue.
good luck
i've successfullly flashed tnt 5 pro... thanx to all who pointed me in the right direction...

I have tried to download the WM6.0 german version to my palm treo 750 which is a english device. So the english version of WM5 is on the device. I would like to install the German Version but i always get the error that the update is not for actualizing the language of the device.
thanks for the replies

You didn't read and search!
And why didn't you continue the old thread? Oh boy...
Here's what you're looking for! Worked for me.
If it doesn't for you, read it again!
I only used those threads, never had a Treo before, and I own it for 3 days now.
If I can do it, you should be able to do it, too, except you are a retard.

hi
can anyone tell me where to get the 6.1 update for htc s710 in india? i registered with htc india but no updates show-up.
to tell the truth ... i'm not comfortable installing a 'cooked' rom posted by dr. gonzo rom coz its first time got a windows device so if i screw the flashing theres no way i can get the original software back
thanks in advance
==================================================
IRRELEVENT POST - NO OFFICIAL WM6.1 FOR VOX
Dude, don't worry the Read me that comes with the Dr.Gonzo's ROM is self explanatory... And Dear, when i tried it for first time, I screwed my VOX too...But then a little patience and VOX wiki..I am up there with my VOX on WM 6.1..ANd now you can see my Signature, i love trying beta ROMsss.. Just in case anything happen to ur phone, give me a buzz at [email protected] may be i can be of some instant help to u... And i bet my life...Senior members on this forum are always ready to help ppl like us...So go ahead and try it..
Thanks to All ppl of this wonderful forum
Loku
there is no official WM6.1 ROM update for S710 ANYWHERE.
you can try the WM6.1 ROM by Dr.Gonzo, it is very good. It does have some minor glitches but a new user like you won't notice it for a while.
and yes this forum will help you if anything goes wrong, but before you do anything please read the wiki completely and when flashing follow ALL instruction(every single line) carefully. ALL!
You would like the WM6.1 rom.
and one more thing....
download the official 1.34 ROM also(its on the FTP),
then in case you screw it up while flashing, you will have the original ROM to fall back on.
thanks lokesh, prajith.
can u give me a link tot he original HTC S710 rom (1.34) u were telling me about?
thanks guys
Upadte HTC S710 with WM 6.1
Hi all, I recently bought HTC s710 and I love there are some queries see if anyone can guide me :
1. If I flash my device with WM 6.1 can i get the original OS by hard reset?
2. If I flash the device will i lose my warranty which is one year ?
3. If i spoil my device is there a way to restore original OS so that repair people do not come to know that I have flashed my device.
Thank you
1). If you flash WM6.1 or ANY ROM, you can not restore to the original ROM by hard reset. You will need to re-flash it.
2). Technically, yes you will lose warranty, however...
3). Patched USPL can be used so you can always restore the original factory/OEM ROM and still use your warranty should you have any hardware issues.
In short, I would not hesitate to flash WM6.1 due to those questions you have. The first thing I did when I got my S710 was flash a patched SPL and unofficial ROM.
h4waii has explained it beautifully.
now please read the wiki! all roms are there.
p.s. is my signature invisible
Yes, it is to all people that are new, it's a fact, they ask before they read, I am getting sick of it. The same questions every day!
XDA should force a reply to each sticky'd Wiki before posting rights are granted, until then only read should be applied to the account. Perhaps I will bring it up with a mod.
excellent idea h4waii!
Mods please do this.
make reply to wiki compulsory before posting.
Atleast ppl will visit there once
I don't think it's that easy to integrate that into vBulletin! lol

It's possible, the C4 forums have it in place on vBulliten 3.7.1, but I am sure they require it more than XDA does.
It would be better to require a certain amount of posts before you can start a new thread. Meh. I don't think it's that much of an issue anyways. I am sure if it was, something would be in place already.
Update error
I downloaded Dr.Gonzo's Monalise v1.0 and finished all the steps in the how-to and Readme. During the final Flash.exe, it is saying ERROR [270] : UPDATE ERROR. The image file is corrupted. Please check your Update Utility.
Read the wiki, you have to flash your USPL

Dear Community,
i´m a new user and an informatican but i´m a newbie in flashing smartphones. So i can´t understand the following Problem:
I have a HTC Kaiser 130 from German Provider T-Mobile. Because this wonderful WM 6.0 is so extrem slowly i decided to flash my ROM to new WM6.5. I went to this forum because here you have the best xda-developers ;-) so now to my problem: After flashing (and i was doing it by the newbie flash tutorial!) in each WM6.5 ROM version i found here for Kaiser, i have NO Sound on my device. And when i try to make a call the connection will be established but the speaker and the mic doesn´t work. so what have i done wrong? can anybody help me? i really really don´t want to use the original ROM :-( i´m a power user and i will throw it out of the window when i have to work with 6.0 T-Mobile Brand anymore :-D
so many thanks!
I guess you forgot to flash your radio rom.
Try 1.70.19.09 so it will work.
hmm... sometimes i ask my self: HAVE I EVER BEEN TO SCHOOL? Or why CANT i read sometimes^^
i think exactly that is the problem
thank you very much
i try and hope
Never give up
Your answer is found very easily in the noob guides to flash the step is included and covered a million times in ROM threads.
Please search before posting a new thread and also post in correct sub forum.
Thankyou.
