wm6 on Verizon 6700 - XV6700, PPC-6700 ROM Development

Is there a way I can put the Hermes or any toher model wm6 rom opn the Verizon 6700?

No, i believe it's cause the nbk file is wrong, probably remembering the wrong file type/name. lol Ours won't recognize it, plus it's meant for a different machine.

MAGICIAN WM5!!

yes i can conferm it is avalible. i went into "Name Censored" today and the technitian "Name Censored" has a magician branded as i mate jam. he noticed my mda compact (o2 rom) and asked what OS im runing on so i said WM2003Se and he proceeded to show me his jam running WM5 i asked him where he obtained the rom and he claimed from imate themselfs.. they have relesed the update for the jam users. but you need a jam phone to obtain this update...
anyone with a jam phone check this out and share the rom?
thanks
on the Clubimate ftp site (ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/) there is a file called:
JAM_UK_Aus_11200_171_11210.exe
dated 25/8/2005 ..... I don't know what it is especially the "Aus" acronym...
Anyone interested in trying this rom?
bye!
I am downloading right now. I will try the upgrade as soon as possible but I wouldnt get my hopes up because that would be too good to be true! I will update soon.
If the one on the imate site isnt WM5, any chance you could get him to dump it?
sorry for the multi posts there, Im not sure whats going on. I am at 29MB of the 44MB file. Yes, ask "Name Censored" to make his WM5 available for all to share9just in case)
Any word on this yet, i'm not holding up any hopes... BUT it would be nice!!!
Dahquim
i personally cannot download the file i would test it but i dont have access to imate, i have mda unlocked with o2 rom, but if the imate link isnt hte rom yes i will get a romdump from his device but acording to "Name Censored" (the cute girl whos number i got in "Name Censored") he wont be in until tuesday so we would have to hold out... thats only if the imate link isnt the rom like he claimed. although i can conferm his jam was becuae i checked the settings and version, and the genral interface.. and im not wm5 shy so its a 100% diagnosis of the OS. keep me updated on the Imate rom. if not i shal romdump from his jam. the file will be 256mb as standard though.

i have got the JAM_UK_Aus_11200_171_11210.exe on my imate jam
its a WM2003 not a WM2005
dont waste your time there is no WM2005 for the Magician
All,
Had to restart download(frikin unstable crap) but now at 75% again. Will start process asap. Will keep you informed.

I asked the online LIVE support of Imate just now, and they claimed it's NOT possible and NOT truth that they have a WM5 OS upgrade?? :shock:
Well all,
I have started it, will let you know.
If it isnt WM5, can you post the specs ofthe rom so we know how up to date it is?
Done!
Looks like...........
like?
looks like a 2003 SE ROM , yeah we know. zzzzzzz wake me up when you find the BA Rom...... zzzzzzzzz.....
Ok so it is possible but where is it and who has it ...

Bro forget about the Imate site , You have a working device that has the WM5.0, dump it and then we can try to get it from Imate. Thus, I have access to imate roms, and especially to the Jams but I don't believe it's the wm2005!!!
Here's the ROM links from Imate in which I believe they are wm2003se:

My T-mobile SDA don't have Wifi.. why?

Just arrived from USA a used phone Deutch T-mobile SDA with Windows 2003, unlocked with multilanguage support. Unlucky is without Wifi... Can I add it?
With ad upgrade to WM5 I will fix ?
thanks
no. and never ask stupid questions. if there is no wi-fi radio chip, you`ll never make it work by flashing any new rom. even if it was wm325.32525.3252 of the year 242325)
T-Mobile SDA with WM2003 is not HTC Tornado. And it really does not have wifi.

This doesn't seem like a stupid question if you take the time to think about it. My recall of the wiki says that the SDA is the Tornado, so it should have wifi.
If a person didn't know better and was sure they had a Tornado they might think it was crippled do to lack of software/drivers. So they would ask.
So we look at

So my guess is that he's probably got an Amadeus. If you can't be helpful, you should just be quiet or go attend some remedial social skills class or something.
Crazynfunny:
Does your phone have a hump for an antenna on the top? Or is it smooth?
The T-Mobile SDA/Tornado pics I have seen usually show the hump. The HTC Amadeus doesn't seem to have a hump and looks exactly like the Qtek 8300 (also a Tornado)?
I guess the only real way to be sure what you've got is to look at the bootloader.
If it does indeed say it is a Tornado, look for a newer ROM that includes radio and everything, because it should have wifi. If it doesn't, it's not Tornado.
Trust me he has a Hurricane. I have the same and i found out the hard way.
Bricked e few SDA's until i figured out that it was a hurricane.
Yes i know i should have read better everywhere and i should have been more patient. ;-)

Cingular 2125 WM 6.0 ROM ?

Hi all,
Does anyone know if there is a AT&T WM 6.0 rom for the cingular 2125. So then I wouldnt have to perform a CID unlock.
Thanks!
No
sorry dude there arent any official roms containing wm6 for cingular 2125, just the ones that u see in the fourums. I was afraid of changing my cid but at the end I did it, nothing bad happened to my phone. i have nitrous wm6 version installed on my phone and it works great, the only thing that i noticed is that battery is running out 30% more than it used to. but all that u gain compared to that its nothing. by the look of your nick you seem to speak spanish by the way i do too if you need anything or have any questions

Windows Mobile on the G1?

Trying to hedge my bets here but does anyone think it's possible that a cooked ROM for the G1 will come out to allow it to be reflashed to Windows Mobile 6?
I'm really hoping Android takes off but if I'm locked to Tmobile for another 2 years I may as well have my choice of OS if the first one never takes off.
If a solution is not found for Microsoft Exchange I will have to make one of two choices. One get another phone or Two find a way to switch to Windows Mobile. I love all the features it has now but work requires me to have Exchange.

I think there's a better chance of the open-source Android being ported to Windows Mobile devices than Windows Mobile being ported to the G1. Just a thought, so if you want to stay with WM6 and have Android at some point maybe you should buy a WM phone and hope Android gets ported to it (already available on the Blue Angel and maybe 1 or 2 other devices I believe).
im jw why would u want that tho.. wm isnt doin there job so im gonna go to os android. and wat ever is better i will stick to it and sel the other.. either way im making money

You might want to have a look at funambol (http://www.funambol.com/), and talk to developers about implementing it for Android (I'm sure someone will). It's a versatile sync solution which already works on a wide range of phones. It might just give the connectivity that you need, including push email.
i dont think its legal to run winmo6 on this phone since htc did not licence it. any workarounds for this issue? can you somehow buy a licence.

Most cooked winmo roms are not legal in some way, shape, or form...but people do it all the time.

the laws are meant to be broken..
its illegal to do alot of things:
tearing a tag of your mattress
speeding while driving
invading a country under false pretence
since the phone is based off MSM7201A
i think we might be able to get a touch hd / touch pro /diamond rom converted to the dream
but i don't think that will happen until we get a rom update for the dream
or until tmobile releases the base code behind the dream(may never happen)
linux GPL
android ASL
fyi (android contains some linux)
another question is the radio is the code built into the os or is it separate like
the other(the radio is linux based on the above models) if it is separate then we might have a chance to get a fully funtion dream running wm6.1
not only that but maybe export the radio into the other phone to get tmobile 3g on it

edit: this line below was meant as a comment to the mattress
actual is is only illegal if you are not the end customer
and the only reason why cooking existed is because you (the consumer) can't buy wm6
that is why this stuff is not considered warez
is is a fine red line
why are cooked roms illegal can you explain this.
basically your phone came with a copy of windows included in the price and you replaced it with a tweaked copy. you still paid for the licence
this cant be said about the G1
any body knows how much htc pays MS for the licence. would you say about$8

Andy Rubin (or at least one of his colleagues) answered this in one keynote; for security purposes, the radio code is separate from the OS. This is so that developers have full access to the OS without wreaking havoc on the network, unintentional or otherwise. This doesn't necessarily mean that extracting the radio or changing the rom will be the exact same as with WM, but there's a good chance it can be done.

I know it was an off-topic remark and I apologize. I'll explain myself and let this topic get back on topic.
Say my phone came with WM5 on it. Legally, unless my carrier or the phone's manufacturer gives me a licensed upgrade to WM6, my installing WM6 (or 6.1) on it is illegal.
It's the same thing if I were to install a cooked version of MacOS X on my AMD computer. I can't buy a version of MacOS X for it (since Apple only supports their own Intel hardware). But that wouldn't stop Apple from winning a lawsuit against me if they were to find out I was using it....even if I had purchased a retail copy of MacOS X, just to have the CDs. Just like my cooked WM upgrade, I'm violating the end-user license agreement that's attached to the OS.
Now, that's not really what I meant by "some way, shape, or form." Many cooked ROMs on this site include cracked versions of 3rd party software that are illegal, unethical, and at times pulling money from the pockets of solo developers. Now I come here and though I can't post that cracked software because it would be "warez," I can post a ROM containing it. It's a strange double standard.
Have I used all these things before? Sure. But I think we get carried away with the whole idea here and think everything's perfectly alright. There's also a fine, red line between a real developer anda petty cracker.
I personally hope someone finds a way to port WM to the G1. I am using an unlocked AT&T Tilt for T-Mobile. While I love the phone, it lacks the AWS frequencies required for T-Mobiles 3G.
There are a few things I'm unsure of regarding getting WM to work for this phone however. There will probably need to be some serious tweaking to make everything work properly as the hardware, while similar, isn't exactly the same. The trackball in particular comes to mind. How will that be made to work? The only phones I can think of that implement a trackball are the Sidekicks, and some Blackberry phones (pearl?). Neither use WM so drivers for it might not exist yet on WM. Same goes for the compass.
I guess what I'm trying to say is...while I am hoping for someone to get WM on this phone, I also know it's probably not going to be very easy.

The HTC Artemis uses a trackball, and the X1 uses a trackpad. Those are the only two I can think of right now, but I'm sure there are others.

I can relate to this example because I had a Wizard(MDA) originally it ran a WM5, t-mobile did not offer any upgrades to WM6. I installed a cooked WM6 from this site and it ran perfectly.
Also I have spoken to a G1 representative from t-mobile today. I asked; since it is possible for me to test Android on my HTC phone (which was originally a WM phone) and switch it back to WM, is it possible to go from Android to WM with the G1? the G1 technician said that it is possible, althought if there are any hardware issues it could void the warranty also some functions might not work correctly such as the trackball.
with that said i wonder if you still need the $25 plan for the G1 after switching to WM; couldnt you just use the $20 plan just like you would for the kaiser, wing, wizard?
I don't see why the plan would make any difference if WM were installed. It would be just another WM phone. Unless I'm mistaken, I don't think T-Mobile does IMEI tracking the same way other carriers do, so they wouldn't really care that you had a G1 without a plan. It's the Android software that tells T-Mobile you need the plan in the first place.
My whole thing is, if you want Windows Mobile, why not get a phone designed for it? Now that I ask that, I'm wondering if tmo has released a WM phone that's 3G capable yet.

What are the risks of using the Hermes Radios for my Treo?

I wanted to know, if there are any risks involved by using the radio's on this site:
http://www.crc.id.au/files/xda/Radio_Roms/
I've heard that it's impossible to overwrite the 1.54.30.10 radio version. Are there others like this?
I'd also like to know if it's possible to return to the Palm supplied radios in case I find these Hermes radio's unfit for duty, or if anyone has experience in reverting back to Palm radios.
Thanks for replies. (sorry if this post looks odd, it's a WAP post >_>)

Any of the radios should be fine to flash to your phone. Do you need to? It's up to you, but if your phone is working OK already, then you probably don't need to flash a radio. Like I said, it is still OK to flash Hermes radios (since the Hermes and Treo 750/Cheetah are pretty much the same).
I would advise against 1.54.30.10 radio, it is a good radio, but it is VERY DIFFICULT to flash over it.
Is there any advantage to these later radios? Better reception/speed/etc?
So I flashed firmware 1.50.00.00 and it seems like it can't be overwritten, no matter what method I used to flash over it (USB or Mini SD)
Any ideas as to how to really overwrite these firmwares?
Pretty Much Screwed
Flashed a hermes rom and bricked my Treo 750 can't get it to load past windows mobile screen. If anybody knows anything let me know. Thanks.
Arc, can it go into the bootloader? Do this by pressing the PTT buttom, and the reset button next to the card reader. Search and you can find how to flash via sd, this should fix your problems. By the way I-DEN is the type of phone, not a network. Nextel uses CDMA, which is why I have an IPhone on nextel.
I can get into bootloader and have tried flashing orig. wm6 rom, wm5 rom, extracted radio from it and flashed just radio, and flashed some more hermes roms because I was getting no where. Best I can tell radio is fried, ran the info command from mitty and gave an error when it tried to pull info from the radio. BTW thanks for correcting me on IDEN it is a technology not a network, how did you get an iphone on a cdma network?

Those are the consequences my friend of flashing roms that are not designed from your phone even if they are extremely similar radios, roms, hardspl etc...your phone is different than hermes, kaiser or other. Even under the same HTC devices, they seem to be very similar but they are pretty different.
