New Asus P535 ROM available on ASUS ftp site - General Topics

I noticed today that there's a new rom available for the P535. I guess it's the Windows Mobile 6 rom we've been waiting for... Probably an english (WWE) version for thailand.
ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/IA/P535/P535_V4712_WWE_TH00_EXT_V120.rar
There's also a CHT (chinese traditional) rom there for hong kong and one for taiwan and also a file called P535-FW-V470.rar. I guess this is a new version of the phone firmware.
I'm half a world away from where I bought it (bought it in taiwan and P535 is not being sold in my country, so it could be difficult to find a service centre to fix it if I brick it). So I think I'll wait at least until it's "officially announced" on the ASUS website before I attempt the upgrade.

thank you for the information.
It's very long to download. I don't now if after i'll test it. But i post the link in a french forum. Maybe someone who like danger will try it.

I don't speak french so it would be nice if you could report back if someone tries it
I installed the phone firmware today, and it seems to work fine on the OS I have installed (4.3.15 WWE_AU00). The phone version is now v4.7.0.
Tested that Wifi and GSM/GPRS works. It seems to be a bit faster at connecting to the GSM network now.

i do it myself!!
same thing my firmware is now v4.7.
But with the rom com 2 files. But is not the .nb0 extension. So i rename the big one (69mb). Try to perform the update, but it still block in the middle of reading file.
There is another files, autorun.exe, who install a package, and reboot your phone. After that the phone still block at the first screen.
no luck.
I had to reinstall an old rom. :-(

Ok, the probleme is :
The Rom is to big for the phone
rom : 70mb
phone : 64mb
so we have to wait.

OK, thanks for trying.

ROM WM6
NOUVELLE ROM WM6 EN FRANCAIS SUR LE SITE FTP DE ASUS
INSTALLE EN PREMIER LA ROM RADIO VERSION V470 APRES METTRE SUR UNE CARTE LES FICHIERS D'INSTALLATION DE LA ROM WM6 VERSION V4713
MEME SI LA ROM A 70MO L'INSTALLATION SE FAIT TRES BIEN ET LE P535 TOURNE BIEN JE LE TROUVE PLUS SENSIBLE ET JE RECOIS MIEUX
NEW ROM WM6 IN FRENCH , ENGLISH AND NEW RADIO
SITE ASUS ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/IA/P535/P535_V4713_FRA_FR00_EXT_V121.ZIP
REESSAYER PLUSIEUR FOIS CAR IL EST ENCOMBRE ET DANS CE CAS IL DONNE PAS L'AUTORISATION DE CE CONNECTER IL N'Y AS PAS DE MOT DE PASSE

I decided to try anyway (it's easier to make decisions after a few drinks...)
It was a failure at first, and then it was a success.
Now my phone is running the thai WM6 rom.
details here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1352875&postcount=15
(Havent figured out why we all want WM6 though. Seems like not much is changed, if you ask me )

warning for those who has not updated to WM6 yet
it can ruin your camera
see below for photos taken by P535 with WM6
http://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=222&t=357254&last=3122574

hi,
once update is done to WM6, would all the programs that work with WM5 still work with WM6, as in if i restore my back up file, would i get all my programs/applications back with full useability
thanks

I guess youre talking about spb backup.
ASUS says: Don't restore a wm5 backup.
I guess it will restore the wm5 registry and wm5 system files along with all other files and should mess up your device completely. (If it lets you restore at all)
The best way is to sync your contacts, appointments etc with outlook,
and backup your files manually,
then you can restore it by syncing with outlook and copying the files manually after you installed wm6.
Any software you have installed on your SD card will still be there after the upgrade, but there will be no links in the start menu.
Most WM5 software works on wm6, but some progs must be reinstalled, and a few programs just don't work on wm6.

bonjour,
Mr pour la procédure qui fonctionne parfaitement mais qd je fais le hard reset à la fin mon pda reboot en version Uk comme avant et non en version FR.
merci de votre aide.
as some french guys don't want to offer their french rom (they paid much more money their qtek s100 you know, really a shame for me as I am french) , they delete the rom on the ftp section. So please find mirrors to download it below :

Original extended ROM
Hi all,
Using beginning of jpa procedure to update MDA Compact from German to English, I normally would be able to backup "my" German ROM. Is this procedure back-up both extended and "normal" ROM ? (very important when restoring initial Geman config in case warranty is needed) If answer is NO, is anybody know how to backup that German Extended ROM ? and finally, how to restore both saved German ROMs to recover initial configuration?
Thanks for your help.

R : 1.01.00 (in place of 1.00.10)

D : 1.03.02 FRE
The file is named : fre_1.03.02_1.03.149_1.01.00.zip

Resco Sudoku Problem
in english :
Hello to everybody,
Thank you for this ROM. I appreciate it a lot. However have a concern with Resco Sudoku. It is delivered in the ROM but does not dash. Have my (bought) own Resco Sudoku but it refuses to settle down, whether it is on the device or on the card(map) of storage..
in french :
salut à tous,
Merci pour cette ROM. Je l'apprécie beaucoup. Toutefois ai un souci avec Resco Sudoku. Il est livré dans la ROM mais ne se lance pas. Ai mon propre Resco Sudoku (acheté) mais il refuse de s'installer, que ce soit sur l'appareil ou sur la carte de stockage..

I got this problem too. Crashing on launch and expect an error report. Also, the task bar disappeared when coming back on the today screen.
I 'd like to know if it's possible to have the WMP skin which come with the rom cause I can only have the basic WMP10 skin.
/* And I'd like to ask you (every users of this forum) : does M2D work in landscape mode ? (Already searched and I didn't found anything...) */
EDIT : I've got now the answer of this last question...
Hello,
I use this rom since 2 weeks, it's very nice.
Very fast
No crash
But a little problem ...
it's not possible to listen music in sleep mode.
With HTC Rom and Orange Rom it's possible with every player.
Do you have a solution (for all player) ?
Oups !
I found the solution for music in sleep mode in this post :

That link is offline. Does anyone know other link or anyone have that ROM in order to upload it to me by MegaUpload or something like that?
Thanks in advance.
as a "junior" member, not allowed to post links:
so,
Acer worldwide, choose Netherlands, service&support
download center, choose device, smart handheld, betouch series,
E130, tab OS.........
still there.........
The E130 don't want to upgrade cause i have a branded rom
on acer belgium i downloaded OS_Acer_3.002.50.EMEA.CUS2_A21E_E130 and installed on the phone of my daughter, and it works perfect, long boot but once up and running it runs fast.
Hello, my SKU is MBS but the rom is CUS2.
How to change it fot update?
i try with
3.002.40.EMEA.GEN1EN_A21_E130
3.002.50.EMEA.CUS2_A21E_E130
It don t work.
Helpp meeeeee
Check the OS version on your phone
- EMEA_CUS1EN: US/UK/Australia/Italy/Spain. Download from Acer worldwide > England/Spain
- EMEA_CUS2: Belgium only. Download from Acer worldwide > Belgium
- EMEA_GEN1EN: Norway/Sweden/Swiss/Austria/Denmark/Finland/Iceland/Luxembourg/Netherlands/Peru/Venezuela/NZ/South Africa/Vietnam/Portugal/Costa Rica. Download from Acer worldwide > Netherlands
- EMEA_GEN1RU: Russia/Ukraine. Download from Acer worldwide > Russia
- EMEA-CUS1FR: France. Download from Acer worldwide > France
and more... so you need to search on Acer worldwide website cho see which one is suitable for your phone's firmware
Goodluck
my phone is a branded phone (mobistar) i want to flash it with a no branded rom.
You need to extract .nb0 file from update and use RUT from A688 Tools ( just search in google or MU : megaupload.com/?d=IFO209MS )
Great that s work.
Very big thanks.
Hello,
I have the same problem, i can't pass on 2.1 and I tried a lot of way to succed...
I have a branded phone MOBISTAR too and so i try your way and it doesn't work for me...
I launch RUT and i'm going to "step 1" and when i want to choose the "firmware" my computer lag and say "tentative de lecture ou d'écriture de mémoir protégée. Cela indique souvent qu'une autre mémoire est endommagée." and it's not just that windows close automatically de window...
i'm gonna try again and again...
@ jihef which .nb0 did you use for your phone who was mobistar (belgium so)
thanks for helping me
acer e130 (mobistar)
Hi,
i tried to do it with the program rut (a688) then it asked me the firmware (nb ofiles) but i don't find them anyware, can somebody please explain the correct steps i need to take?
I am so new at this and don't know what the correct way to do it
programmes files/ acer e130 tool setup...
file is there if you install the upgrade on acer.be
e13 (mobistar)
Finaly it works!!
Thanks
Just one question, i can't open anymore clips from you tube??
Is that normal?
i've tried again this morning and it doesn't work, i'm on windows vista and every time i try select de .nb0 file (click on the case "..." on RUT programme) my laptop stop de RUT programme automatically (windows says RUT_V2 a cessé de fonctionner)...
does anyone have an idee?
sorry for asking again but i'm turning on crazy...
i think you need to use a Computer with XP for RUT, with my Seven, its same problem.
Sorry for english language, but it s too easy for me to explain it in french.
En francais, si vous avez des gsm mobistar cela devrait aller.
Tu lances l'installation du programme d'update de acer.
Quand c'est fini, tu ne flash pas le gsm, mais tu vas dans c:/programme file/acerE130 Tool setup et la tu trouveras la rom d'origine que tu copies ailleurs.
Ensuite tu lances le programme RUT, tu pointes la rom copiée précedement, et tu suis les instructions.

PS: effectué sous seven sans problème.

How to root Samsung Galaxy X Cover 4s Enterprise Edition (SM-G398F)

Hey there,
is there a way to root a Samsung Galaxy X Cover 4s (SM-G398F)?
The phone is from June 2019 and runs Android 9.0.
I haven't found anything on the forum.
Here's a link to the Samsung website:
https://www.samsung.com/de/smartphones/galaxy-xcover-4s-g398-enterprise-edition/SM-G398FZKDE28/
Thanks in advance,
Paddy
I'm wondering the same thing. I tried to follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/root-recovery-root-device-magisk-t3779454
but my phone is not recognized by odin or fastboot, so I can't flash the patched boot image.
I have also recently acquired a Samsung SM-G398F.
Need root for an FM Radio app.
Doesn't seem to have one by default (have opened a ticket with Samsung support, the Exynos 7885 should support one).
Otherwise a really perfect machine.
dual sim, and a microSD slot.
Fast charging, contrary to whats on sammobile.
Will help if asked.
edit : I would have the French version :
SM-G398FZKDXEF
https://www.samsung.com/fr/business/smartphones/galaxy-xcover-4s-g398/sm-g398fzkdxef/
Not sure if there would be any difference.
Just got off the Phone with Samsung Support.
Basically "Demand has greatly reduced for this product (FM Radio) so we are not proposing it anymore."
I didn't stay on the phone for long because it was someone with a very strong Asian accent, and i couldn't understand her very well, and she sure couldn't understand me properly, so I gave up even asking anything.
They just said to download an app from the App store....
They DID propose to use an older Samsung phone, seeing as their older phones have FM functional
Really need root now, or i'll be carrying my old phone around with me everywhere just for the radio...(and I hope it will actually work after all this).
OK, so, no stock images seem to be available yet, or anything else for that matter.
i'm just trying to get a stock backup image made, so if anything goes wrong, I can flash back.
Just in case anyone is interested, this is the info from the Recovery Mode :
Samsung/xcoverseea/xcover4s
9/PPR1.180610.011/G398FNXXU1ASF5
I have done this before, but only when Roms were available.
Is it possible to flash TWRP or CWM without having rooted the phone yet ? (It would seem its possible with ADB mode).
Is there a generic TWRP/CWM that i can flash, or do I have to have a specific custom version of TWRP/CWM ?
Cheers

Weird. I bought my Xcover 4S in Sweden, and it has a working FM radio. I would have expected EU phones to be identical apart from the language preset.

Hi, did you have the FM Radio app installed by default, or did you have to add it ?
I don't have the FM App installed at all, and when I install NextRadio, it says it can't find it.

It was already installed. Looks like it is neither part of the Play Store nor the Galaxy Store, but going by the name and icon it seems to be this one... argh, I cannot post URLs yet. Google "Samsung Radio apkmirror", should be the first link. Specifically, I have version 10.0.00.52 installed.

I just reset my phone back to factory defaults, to check.
in the "Samsung" Folder in the app drawer, I have Telephone, Messages, Voice recorder, and My Files.
I have no Radio App...
Which version of the 4s do you have, I mean the full name ?
edit : In The Software updates for the Phone i have these versions installed :
G398FNXXU1ASF5/G398FNOXM1ASF5/G398FNXXU1ASF2
Security Update 1st May 2019.
---------- Post added at 10:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 AM ----------
I'm wondering if it's a difference between the "Enterprise Edition" and the Standard Edition....
I'm pretty sure I have the Exynos 7885 version (1.6GHz A53 cores) (there may be a 7884B version, with 1.35GHz A53 cores).
The board is called "Universal7885" in CPU-Z, which would be the same, or similar, to the Samsung A8+ boards I think ?
Edit : I found a Stock Rom apparently here, at samfrew.com
https://samfrew.com/download/Galaxy__XCover__4s__/mOac/FTM/G398FNXXU1ASG2/G398FNOGC1ASF2/
Is Samfrew an OK site to download a stock Rom from ?
edit2 : Did a search for the ASG2 Rom, and found that it may have been called Xcover 5 at some point.
https://samdb.org/firmware/pda/G398FNXXU1ASG2/
I much prefer getting this Rom from SamDB...

The model number according to Settings/About Phone is SM-G398FN. That is rather short, where do I get the full number? According to the spec page on the shop where I got it it is SM-G398FZKDE31, but I'd rather get this from the phone.
The software updates are:
G398FNXXU1ASH1 / G398FNOXM1ASH1 /
G398FNXXU1ASH1
Security patch level: 1 August 2019
(Yes, 1st and 3rd are the same, not sure what's up with that).

I think the box said Enterprise Edition on mine, but I am travelling right now, so I cannot check. Any place in the phone where I should be able to see this?

Yes, i saw some of the other roms seem to be ASH1.
Strange that my version seemed stuck on May 1st security update, when others are on 1st August...
Proper link than the one from before, to all the Xcover 4s/5 roms :
https://samdb.org/model/SM-G398FN/
i'm downloading a couple of them at the moment.
the Greek European version (EUR at the beginning of the filename) and the Dutch one (PHN).
They both seem to be "Black Editions" whatever that is...
Will try flashing them to my phone tomorrow, and see if it works or bricks...

I don't have the box in front of me to check.
its just I saw that people were talking about two different versions apparently, a Standard version (Black Edition?) and the Enterprise version.
the Enterprise version will have updates for longer (2 or 4 years was quoted wherever I read it) and stuff like that apparently.
Frankly, if I can get this working fine non-rooted, i may just buy another one to root and get a custom rom up and going, so when the updates run out, it will still work form many years to come.
Waterproof, DualSim+mSD, replaceable battery, IPS (PLS) 720p screen, 3.5mm jack....whats there not to like ?
edit : Just for info, "Orange" is a Service provider in France, on on their website, they state that it has no working FM Radio.
Maybe its just a French thing ? (I bought mine from a webshop).

Indeed, this kind of phone is becoming very rare. I was actually on the verge of buying a Motorola LEX L11 (a "police phone"), as it also has those features, but its cost is prohibitive if you have no use for its special radio connectivity, and the phone functionality is actually inferior in several ways. So I was really happy when the 4S appeared at a fraction of the price.
Well, just flashed the Dutch version, PHN-G398FNXXU1ASH1_G398FNOXM1ASH1-20190806 and still no FM Radio.
beginning to think its not possible to activate it....
Going to try Greek next, and then Swedish after that, seeing as we have one confirmed Swedish phone with it functioning...

Sérieux, tu n'as trouvé que la Rom Australienne !!
Tu as choisi quoi comme Région ? Il ne me trouve rien dans SamFirm, ni NEE, ni EEA, ni XSA..... ?
Tu n'as pas eu de soucis pour l'activation du téléphone avec une Sim Europeene ?
je te remercie, je vais faire l'essai.
Translation of the Original post :
"Hi, I'm French, and i had the same problem as you. I installed the Australian Rom G398FNXXU1ASH1_CL16564893_QB25260991_REV00_user_low_ship_meta_OS9.tar.md5, and then miraculously got the FM Radio back."
Having just tried the Greek Rom, and it seemingly getting stuck on the "Samsung" Boot screen, i went back and flashed the Dutch PHN Rom, mainly just to check if i'd bricked something.
That flashed fine.
Will try the NEE version tomorrow, and then the Australian version

OK, merci.
J'ai pas reussi avec SamFirm, mais il ne me trouve rien.
C'est peut-être le réseau du boulot qui bloques.
Je suis en train de le choper de samsung-firmware.org, mais à 115Ko/s
étrangement, la Rom Australienne est plus petite que les autres...2.9Go contre 3.3Go...
Translation :
SamFirm doesn't find anything for me, maybe a work network problem.
I'm getting the file from Samsung-firmware.org, but at 115Kb/s
The Australian Rom is smaller, only 2.9GB instead of 3.3GB for the others...

The Australian Rom worked fine.
It started out with Vietnamese language by default, but worked.
FM Radio is back, and working very well
Going to check for a week or so, to make sure everything is fine.

Have you noticed whether the audio gets any louder than with an EU ROM? I have already disabled the high volume warning using the trick with the QuickShortcutMaker app, but I wonder if there is also some lower absolute volume limit in the EU firmware, similar to how it is in EU iPhones.
