Flashing instructions are as follows:
NOTE: This will work on vista providing you have followed the Vista RUU guide HERE or HERE
If you are flashing from WM5 to WM6, you MUST download WM6GSMUPDATE.zip and flash that FIRST to avoid GPRS issues
For those getting the "Not Allow Operation" error in TeraTermPro, or, even worse, getting stuck in bootloader after flashing. You MUST superCID your device using the SPV-Sevices client! This step is NOT optional and could result in your phone becoming a brick if anything goes wrong
1. Make sure you device is SuperCID, you can check using the SPV Services client, if on reading the CID it displays 3131313131313131 in a long string of numbers then it IS CID unlocked, if not, the click the CID = 11111111 button and reset your device
2. Download the ROM linked in the first post
3. Download the attached TeraTermPro.zip
4. Disable USB connections in ActiveSync (right click the icon in the systray, then select connection settings and untick the USB connections box), turn off your device, hold camera ad plug the device into the USB port to enter bootloader mode.
5. Extract TeraTermPro.zip and run ttermpro.exe, then select Serial and then USB in the drop down box. Then type:
Code:
info 2
You will then probably get the following output:
Code:
info 2
GetDeviceInfo=0x00000002
+ SD Controller init
- SD Controller init
+StorageInit
CMD55 failed
+ SD Controller init
- SD Controller init
+StorageInit
CMD55 failed
HTCSSuperCID ' HTCE
Cmd>
If you don't see HTCSSuperCID ' HTCE above the Cmd> prompt then your device isn't SuperCID. You must use the SPV Services Client to make your device SuperCID as instructed in step 1
6. Type
Code:
format BINFS
This will then output:
Code:
Cmd>format BINFS
Format BinFS partition.
Format is completed!!
Cmd>
7. Now type:
Code:
ResetDevice
You device will then reboot, display the splash screen for around 2 seconds before running into the bootloader again. This is normal.
8. Extract WM6TornadoBETA.zip then run ROMUpdateUtility.exe
9. Wait while it flashes your device
10. After flashing and the inital cold boot setup (entering the time and date), you MUST delete Voice Command.lnk in /Windows/Start Menu/ and soft reset! Wierd things happen if you don't!
11. Install all the extra stuff you want from the extras file
12. Done

so far so good
So far so good (thanks for a clean rom faria...this is a perfect rom for me to start practicing cooking on). Only thing i have noticed so far is if you go into the phone settings and hit ok, it stays on that screen (only a soft reset removes it as far as i can tell. i flashed the rom again to make sure that wasnt it). can anyone replicate this?
*edit* end call button can close it.
does this clean rom also include registry wizard? and total commander?

Always bootloader screen

Hi, I've a vodefone v1240 (HTC Tornado), i've tried to flash wm6 flash to it... but... i haven't super cid unlock... the flash is ok but phone always star in muticolor screen (botloader screen), i've tried to flash a lot of flashes but always get invalid vendor id or "only upgrade"... i've tried too with TyphoonNbfTool to edit nbf and change vendor id.. but always get the same mensaje ("invalid vendor id" or "only upgrade")...
How can i recover my phone? :S
Thanks
Sendoa

Ok, using typhoonnbftool v0.41 open up a tornado nbf (wm6 or official, it doesnt matter) and then edit the header data so that the Operator field reads:
Code:
VODA0504
That is your original CID
Then save the nbf and flash it to your device
Phil
done but...
Hi, i've done but... always get a "only upgrade"... only let me to reflash wm6 flash.. but it always return to bootloader screen :S what am i doing wrong? :S
Thanks anyway
Sendoa
Try adjusting the version numbers to something ridiculous like 99.99.99.99 as well

Hey Phil, Thanks very much for the update ! Your hard work is much appreciated here !!
Me too
I'm having the same problem as Sendoa. I flashed the WM6 ROM to my 8310but after 100% completion, the phone re-started in bootloader mode.
I can flash it again with the WM6 but the same thing happens each time (bootloader mode). I've tried to flash with several other ROMs but each time I get the "Invalid Vendor ID" error before flashing begins.
I've tried the Typhoonnbftool tool to change the header as suggested earlier in this thread but without any success. My CID is 'DNG_0501'. I'm still stuck in bootloader mode.
I'd appreciate any assistance.
Thanks,
Straker.
Sorted
Sorted. Found another ROM (the fifth I've tried) that would flash without the 'Invalid Vendor' message. It let me get back to a standard WM5 setup.
Solved
Thanks to all
I flash it with a cingular flash with version changed to 79.79.79.79 and operator changed to VODA0504, and work again.. then i've unlock the cid and flash wm6 flash and it is working with it
Thanks again
Wow, that's cool, means I can flash my phone to WM6 without voiding my warranty ( I still got 5 months left )

I've used Typhoonnbftool to change header, but the resulting file is only ever 1kb or smaller! What am I doing wrong?

Vox bootloader

Inspired by some threads in the Hermes and Trinity forums I started to explore the VOX bootloader. You can enter the bootloader by pressing the camera and power button at the same time. You see the tri-color (red/green/blue) bootscreen which shows the bootloader and CPLD version. In connection settings of activesync uncheck "allow USB connections" and connect PC and Vox with a USB cable. The PC will recognize the Vox and install an interface driver.
You need the MTTY to talk with the bootloader and send it commands. The Hermes wiki provides some good information and also has a link to MTTY:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootLoader
Unfortunately the Vox bootloader (v1.16.0000) doesn't display help information. The first command you should enter is password. I found a password for Trinity and Hermes which also works for Vox:
password BsaD5SeoA
Here are a couple of other commands which work: emapiWlanEERW, emapiInit, emapiWlanMac, emapiPwrDwn, emapiRead, emapiTest, emapi, cpldver, DumpReservoir, CheckImage, calcrccheck, getdevinfo, ruustart, ruurun, progress, wdata, password, mbr, set, atcmd, ResetDevice, BTRouting, BTTestMode, SetDebugMethod, IMEI, ls, lnbs
I would like to find a way to dump the SPL and ROM to SD-card or to PC. I tried a couple of things (r2sd, d2s) to no avail.
Anyone else some ideas?
Update1
I got stuck in the bootloader and luckily found how to boot into the OS again:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1094479&postcount=11
password BsaD5SeoA
ruurun 0
ResetDevice
Update2
I discovered the 'ls' command. Afaik it allows to dump the rom parts like SPL, IPL, splashscreen when the device is CID unlocked. My unbranded S710 is SIM unlocked, but unfortunately not CID unlocked. When I issue 'ls' there's a "not allowed" error
Update3
I found a 'good' VOX ROM upgrade (the ones on the XDA FTP are all corrupt): RUU_Vox_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.2R4_4.1.13.37_02.83.90_Ship
Another upgrade ROM is the Dopod:
RUU_Vox_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.19.707.3_4.1.13.37_02.83.90_Ship
I used NBHextract.exe to extract both ROMs. The SPL bootloaders are attached.
NBHextract shows following info for the 1.15 Vox ROM upgrade:
Code:
Device: VOX010100
CID: HTC__001
Version: 1.15.405.2
Language: UK
Extracting: 00_IPL.nb
Extracting: 01_SPL.nb
Extracting: 02_GSM.nb
Extracting: 03_MainSplash.nb
Encoding: 03_MainSplash.bmp
Extracting: 04_OS.nb
and this for the Dopod upgrade:
Code:
Device: VOX010100
CID: DOPOD001
Version: 1.19.707.3
Language: USA
Extracting: 00_IPL.nb
Extracting: 01_SPL.nb
Extracting: 02_MainSplash.nb
Encoding: 02_MainSplash.bmp
Extracting: 03_GSM.nb
Extracting: 04_OS.nb
Update4
I managed to back up my S710 using itsme's "bkondisk" tool and "prun" from his itsutils suite here and here. Copy bkondisk.exe to /Windows on your device.
After running this on your PC
Code:
prun bkondisk.exe "\Storage Card"
following files are created in \Storage Card and a log file "bkondisk.log" in \
Code:
bk_00_0000.img - IPL : ONBL1 + ONBL2
bk_02_0005.img - GSM + splash + gsmdata + simlock + serialnrs
bk_03_0025.img - OS
bk_06_0001.img - SPL
bk_08_0205.img - userfilesystem
I compared a couple of these .img files with the .nb files extracted by NBHextract from an official RUU. The IPL and SPL look quite okay, but the OS is mapped totally different. So don't think you can just rename for example bk_03_0025.img to OS.nb in order to have a flashable file !! I have attached my dumped SPL which is version 1.16
Next mission is to find a 'good' (not corrupted) version of the RUU_Vox_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.2_4.1.13.37_02.83.90_Test.exe ROM upgrade. See this Excalibur thread. I think the same applies to S710
Update5
With Dark Simpson's htc rom tool here it is possible to create a flashable image file from separate .nb files. There is also Dutty's good NBHtool 1.1 yet, but so far I haven't tried it.
What we still need to have for flashing unsigned ROM images is a SSPL. See here and here.
Alternatively we need a so called Update SPL (USPL) which unlocks CID and then allows flashing any rom to your device. The version for the ELF created by the brilliant moderator pof can be found here. Since the ELF is very similar to VOX, I will study it and see if I can use it to implement a SSPL (software SPL) which allows us to also flash any ROM, but does not require to flash an USPL. I think flashing IPL and SPL is a bit too tricky atm.
Take the Elf USPL, remove the RUU folder (to be sure you don't flash anything by mistake), in the LOADER folder change the .nb file for a Vox bootloader (different version than the one on your device) and use the same name for the .nb file, then run elf-uspl.exe on your PC.
If elf & vox are so similar, this should jump to the bootloader you've placed in the LOADER folder, to check it disable activesync usb connections and go into bootloader with mtty. Do an "info" command or whatever identifies that the bootloader you're seeing is the one you've placed on the LOADER folder and not the one actually on your device.
If you succeed in loading a custom bootloader I can help you with the don't check cid / don't check signatures... patches
Good luck!
Thanks for replying pof. I did as you said and tried it with spl 1.15 (whereas 1.16 is flashed on my S710). First I went through step1 and then went in to step2 where at 75% the screen got blank and it rebooted the phone in my native bootloader 1.16 RUU mode. I suppose that's not what we wanted to see?
Where did you find RUU_Vox_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.2R4_4.1.13.37_02.83.90_Ship? Do you have a link?
Thanks

Cant Find The Bootloader For The Life of Me
Tried:
"You can enter the bootloader by pressing the camera and power button at the same time. You see the tri-color (red/green/blue) bootscreen which shows the bootloader and CPLD version."
No Luck. I must be thick. Its gotta be just that easy... but...
The S710 simply boots into my home screen.
Can someone PLEASE post a (little) more detail about how to boot into the bootloader on the s710/vox?
THANKS.
Cheers.
** EDIT **
OK- Better bootloader entry instructions for SP noobs (like myself):
1) Turn device off
2) Unplug power/usb cable from handset
3) Press and hold camera button
4) Plug power/usb cable into handset
5) Be amazed by Blue-Green-Red Bootloader screen.
Yeah, it won't boot in bootloader mode if the usb cable is connected. Well, it's sometimes better to find out things all by yourself
Besides, I don't think anyone other than myself is researching this stuff on Vox. Too many ordinary users and nearly noone in to h*cking.
You don't have 1.04 on your phone by any chance?
RE: older bootloader
No joy.
Sorry.
Its 1.15
My SP has vanilla mods.
Its just out of the box the last 4 days in NYC!
The phones not even available AFAIK in the US yet-- except special order.
Got mine in London last week.
Still working out the kinks.
BTW:
Im looking for info/docs/someone who has forced GSM codec through WM6 to this handset through Asterisk LOCALLY-- Asterisk SIP logs show successful codec negotiation and initial start of audio delivery-- but the stream pukes out on my handset immediately-- ideas? Im begining to think it may be a cpu issue. Thanks.

Yeah saw that. I don't think it's a CPU issue, could run GSM codec just fine on a stone old iPaq. Try trunning omap overclocker and set it to 240MHz and see if it makes a difference. Keep using the SIP thread for any replies on this

I suppose youve seen Pof's post #89 (dated 4-8) in the "ELF Update SPL (USPL)" thread which calls for running enable-rapi.cab (on O2 Nova) BEFORE elf-uspl.exe?
Id try it myself but want a few days of joy with my handset BEFORE creating a potential brick.
From my reading if the elf-uspl.exe makes it to 75% in stage 2 before white-screening-- you're close (well, 75% anyway.. wink!). Seems like Pof could have a couple of suggestions at that point. Maybe hell be kind enough to comment?
You're on it.. but I thought Id ask.
Cheers.
Heres something I am trying to work out-- even after many hours of reading:
I understand that there is an exploit in the 1.04 bootloader which can potentially bypass CID and Certs when flashing a new ROM image on both SPs and PPCs..
I also understand that bootloaders 1.09+ cant be downgraded.
So am I right in assuming that potential VOX ROM-chefs have at least ** TWO ** potential paths to solving the bootloader issue:
1) Find a 1.04 bootloader **AND** a tool which will load it successfully
-- Then use the exploit (which I read about-- but cant find) to flash the ROM
-or-
2) Find a way to Flash **ANY** bootloader onto the vox with elf-uspl.exe
-- Then (keeping our fingers crossed) elf-uspl.exe can be patched to defeat the CID&CERT issues with the vox
Now heres the question:
I am right in assuming that we **DONT** need to find a way to flash **SPECIFICALLY** the 1.04 bootloader onto the ROM **BEFORE** we can take advantage of a patched elf-uspl.exe?
Is that correct?
Cheers.
Oh yeah.. AM I right in assuming that the WM5/6 bootloaders are EXACTLY the same code (except for dated revs) across all WM SP and PCC devices-- sort of like the ability to install grub or lilo on **ANY VENDORS PC** no matter what OS or eventual Software Packages end up on the box?
Looked at another way:
When they talk about the 1.15 bootloader in the Blue Angel Board they are talking about the EXACT SAME 1.15 bootloader in the VOX board?
I mean, I know this is gotta be the case but I need a little reassurance here-- As Im still a bit confused on why PPC software should run on SP devices-- even understanding that they use (generally) the same subset (WM5/6) of the CE5/6 API-- But have different CPUs.
850mph: cool to see there actually are brothers in arms
I've tested pof's USPL extensively, but haven't got it to work (yet).
Actually you need to run enable-rapi.cab only if your phone isn't yet application unlocked, i.e. if it doesn't allow to run unsigned apps. Mine is application unlocked so I can skip that step.
The next step is to load a modded SPL in RAM at physical address 0x10000000 and to run it. Once this modded SPL is running another modded SPL can be flashed.
I've tried to load an unmodified SPL in RAM (e.g. SPL 1.15) and to run it. This can be done with following 2 steps:
1) psetmem.exe -f -p 0x10000000 spl.nb
2) run haret.exe on device (can use cecopy & cerun); cerun -b CE:\haret.exe
Note: haret.exe is a linux kernel loader which was modified by pof to run a USPL from 0x10000000
What happens is that my phone reboots into the stock bootloader (SPL 1.16) in RUU mode. I have to use MTTY in order to boot the phone in WM again (see post #1 and #2 in this thread).
Actually I think haret.exe does run the SPL 1.15 which is loaded in RAM, but that at some point the code resets the device.
I'm quite sure we can run a specially prepared USPL or SSPL which allows flashing another specially prepared SPL such that the device is effectively CID unlocked which again means that any vendor's firmware can be flashed. I also think we don't absolutely need the SPL 1.04 for that purpose.
This is good info.
I see what you are trying to do now.
Im gonna take some time to get up to speed on Dumping/Reading/Flashing from the Trinity Hermes and Elf pages. Until then Im afraid Ill be of little use.
Until now Ive strictly been a Linux/GCC-guy. Im tempted (but not convinced) that I want to take the time to learn Microsofts WM5/6 IDE. Its a time issue (obviously).
But I will spend some time on the whole S710 ROM-cooking (and bootloader) issue this week. It looks manageable.
I see you have basically been mixing and matching the various ROM cooking tools-- including using Msofts CE powerToys. Is there no single suite (besides the ImagefsTools) which you can recommend I look at first (With the understanding we need to solve the bootloader issue specifically for the vox first)-- I see various kitchens for various devices. Do any of them see plausible as a starting point for an HTC/Vox kitchen suite?
GOOD LUCK.
Cheers.
** EDIT **
I REALLY think the S710/S730spec are GREAT devices-- couple of minor issues-- but just fantastic form-factors.
new in the sandbox
Hi guys,
I just got my XPA 1415 some days ago (for info, it's just the same than the others (HTC S710, SPV E650 and Vodafone V1415, VOX, ...) but from Swisscom (Swiss provider).
I've been reading around and found this thread that was the most related. I actually tried to use the techniques provided by jockyw2001 with no luck.
Doing a prun bkondisk does not work, neither any of the itsutil tools. I do think that my device is somehow protected, but I've no clues how to proceed next. I'm going to continue searching, but if any of you has an idea, it's more than welcome.
If I manage to dump that *damned* ROM, I'll make it available...
I've currently (on booloader ONBL 1.23.0000, SPL 1.23.0000, CPLD 04)
Cheers,
Nick
Nevermind...
I think I've been able to proceed with the backup (I've used the Microsoft Security Configuration Manager) when I realized that my system (Windows 2003 x64) the tool was not working.
Which made me think that maybe the procread and the other prun bkondisk might also have been blocked by the x64.
I've tested on my laptop (regular XP) and it works fine... just FYI !
** EDIT **
I've also tested the ELF haret with a downoaded SPL and I got the same result as jockyw2001...
BTW, jocky, did you find a way to re-create a proper nh from the bkondisk end result (bk_##_####.img) ?

The IPL and SPL are useable. The radio dump called bk_02_0005.img is from offset 0xA0000 identical to the radio rom. The first 0xA0000 bytes are other parts, probably splash + gsmdata + simlock + serialnrs. The OS file seems not directly useable and must be reordered somehow. More interesting is the ROM reconstruction method described here. Of course first we need to be able to flash unlock the Vox. I think the SSPL is most suitable for this purpose, this may need some reversing of the SPL with IDA Pro.
Thanks for those info, I'll try to go in that direction. Would be nice to find which one is splash, which one is gsm and the others below 0xA000.
I know we need to rev. SSPL. Don't exactly know where to start though I can't flash mine with any original ROM as Swisscom is not providing any.
BTW. viewimgfs gives me back a "packing DLL not found" (or some similar). Anyone had that also ?
I'll try to download IDA Pro...
It's below 0xA0000
I will do some testing again with the Vox today. I will see if I can paint the screen with a few instructions @0x10000000
I think I can not just run the SPL on VOX in the same way as you can on the ELF. The IPL on the VOX is 128kB, whereas on ELF it is only 2kB. So I think I will have to patch the IPL and run that first. I'm afraid that it will take a bit more time. Basically it will then be a SSPL (search forum for SSPL and user 'des') with both IPL and SPL patched and running in RAM.
But maybe it is also possible to patch just the SPL, because it could be that the default action initiated by IPL is to reset the device in RUU bootloader mode.
Given some time it can all be done I'm sure

HTC Kaiser SSPL v1 (or flashing any rom 4 free)

* THIS WILL WORK ON KAISER ONLY - FOR GENERIC METHOD SEE JumpSPL *
This tool allow to flash any Kaiser ROM bypassing CID and signature check.
You'll be able to change the ROM language, flash cooked roms, custom splash screens, etc...
FEATURES
Code:
1. SuperCID / Security Level=0
2. Does not check NBH signatures
3. Based on 0.92 Shipped SPL
4. Accept any Model ID
5. Disabled initial SD card loading to prevent hang
INSTRUCTIONS
Transfer SSPL-KAIS.exe to your Kaiser
Connect the USB cable and run SSPL-KAIS.exe (on kaiser, not on PC!)
Click "Continue", the Bootloader tri-color screen should appear
Check SPL version number: if it ends in ".JumpSPL" then everything is fine.
Unplug the USB cable and re-plug it
Device is ready to flash any ROM, you don't need ActiveSync at all.
DISCLAIMER
This software is free to use but at your own risk, I take no responsiblity for any conflict, fault, or damage caused by this unlocking procedure. No warranties of any kind are given.
DONATIONS
Your donations are a strong incentive to continue research on new devices, if you find JumpSPL useful please cosider making a PayPal donation. Any donation amount is greatly appreciated ​​
Enjoy!
--------------------
UPDATE: Found a problem on SSPL where it will hang when flashing a full ROM with a new RUU due to the NBH buffer being smaller in SPL-0.92, I removed the link and will update Kaiser SSPL version when I have some free time. At the moment, please use Kaiser Hard-SPL, this is safe
For those of you had the phone stuck in bootloader mode after flash with SSPL stopping at 16%, follow these instructions to unbrick your phone:
1. Download mtty.exe
2. Disable activesync (connection settings -> uncheck "allow usb connections")
3. Connect your Kaiser to PC using USB cable.
4. Open mtty, select USB port and click OK.
5. Hit ENTER twice, you should see the "Cmd>" prompt.
6. Type the command "boot", you should see something like this:
Code:
Cmd> [B]boot[/B]
InitDisplay: Display_Chip=1
No card inserted
OSSIReadBack ++
Read SI data from flash success
tail signature match
Checksum match
UserStorageSIPreload ++
After that device should boot WM6 again, you can now re-enable USB connections in activesync and flash HardSPL

OMG thank you POF!!! You are truly the MASTER!!
Question how do we go about dumping and using Imgfs tools in Kaiser ROMS?
Can you give us a basic run down since its different than the Hermes please
Okay, excuse my ignorance, but when you say Kaiser, do you mean all versions of the Kaiser, like the ATT Tilt (8925), or just the HTC Kaiser? Please don't beat me up

HI Pof,
Does this also SIM unlock the device?
Or if I use this CID unlock and load the HTC rom will that SIM unlock the device?
Thanks
OMG, wonderfull.... now only need some research on how to repack dumped /modified ROMs... any aproach?
THANKS Pof you are incredible...

I manage to dump mine without problems using Vista Ultimate too ... if you get this error when executing pdocread
Code:

Copying C:\itsutils\itsutils.dll to WCE:\windows\itsutils.dll
Could not update itsutils.dll to the current version, maybe it is inuse?
try restarting your device, or restart ActiveSync [/I]
You have to modify this registry key, and then softreset using power button:

Big problem
Hi all I have a big problem I have try to flash my kaiser from SRF and using kaiser_JumpSPL_pof_v1. at 16% my the copy hanged and the Rom wizzard told me to remove the kaiser battery.
and after that I lost my old rom and I have the SPL from the factory ! and I dont have any copy from my old Rom.
and My phone is locked...
so How I can do to copy and execute the kaiser_JumpSPL_pof_v1 to my devis to try to flush the kaiser again
thx for you help

Instructions to unbrick posted in the first post.
I'm closing this thread until I have time to post an updated and hopefully working version...

O2 XDA Mini S (G4) Not flashing

Well, i've flashed the X50v and HTC Touch Elfin before, however I seem to be having some problems with the Wizard. I'm trying different ROMS and none seem to be working. Once a flash appeared to go through correctly, and the splash screen at startup was changed, but it still booted into WM5.
Now even though it is CID unlocked, it says that the RUU is out of date and won't update the phone.
IPL is 2.21.0001
SPL is 2.21.0001
have you downloaded and flashed with Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii_CF2 first if not then do. using the SoftSPL-V0.1 just extract then copy over the nk.nbf file after which do the same for the wm6 rom you wish to use. i advice using the TNT.20273_Professional_Wizard_HTC_Home_FREE rom or the TNT.20273 Professional Wizard rom. either are good roms.
i have the same phone and it worked a treat

How do you confirm its CID unlocked,as G4 device cannot be CID unlocked and with its present IPL/SPL it isn't even HardSPL ?
A G4 phone can only be upgraded to wm6,either through SoftSPL or HardSPL,you can read about them in the G4 sub forum posted as stickies.
Thanks for the help guys, for some reason the hardSPL wasn't working, but now I have 6.1 on my phone! I have another problem, however which I'm going to create another thread for later today, here it is if anyone see's this:
Since upgrading to Winmo6.1, my keyboard layout has been broken. I have an O2XDA MiniS, so it's a UK phone.
Here's the layout I should get:
QWERTYUIOP
ASDFGHJKL (Del)
(cap)ZXCVBNM(up)(Enter)
(Dot)(Tab)(Windows)(Ok)(Space)(period)(left)(down)(Right)
And with dot-shift (Don't know the actual term)
1234567890
[email protected]#$%&*() (Del)
(cap) - _ € £ + = ; : (enter)
(dot) ~ (Win) " (sym what does this do?) , ' / ?
This is what I Get
QWERTY is exactly the same, its the symbols with Dot-Shift that have changed
123456790
[email protected]#$%&() (del)
(cap) ` -_+ = * ; : (Enter)
(dot) (Tab[Should be ~]) (win) " , ' / ?
I have tried the Et9 cab file which didn't seem to do anything, let alone work.
There was a post I saw which had a link to a rapidshare file which has now expired.
Some people have tried registry settings, that hasn't worked for me.
I've spent the last hour searching, this keyboard means a lot to me.
I bought this phone for my girlfriend but ended up keeping it since I love the keyboard, sometimes do Python scripting on the go, editing word docs + email browsing is easier. So she now has my Touch Elfin (which is newer)
So yeah, i'll pretty much copy + Paste that into a new topic if this doesn't get any replies by say 8PM GMT?
I don't really like making hundreds of new topics for every little problem I Have. Otherwise there'd be one for Opera + Hardware buttons (Plus the internet button on HTC home screen)
one for it not staying in landscape mode when the keyboard is down, and one for my myriad of MiniSD card troubles
sorry forgot about this issue about the keyboard its simple to put it back to uk even if its a pain.
step 1 open regedit
step 2 open HKEY_CURRENT_USER
step 3 open ControlPanel
step 4 open Keybd
step 5 select Locale and change it from 0409 to 0809
and now everything should be in the right place
anything else feel free to ask
