Which ROM should I choose? - HTC Tornado

Hello!
I'm French, and I have a Qtek 8310 (currently with WM5).
I'd like to turn into WM6, but it seems there is two different ROMs here (the sticky from jm012a9749 and the sticky from andot), and I really don't know which one is the best for me...
So, if you could help me to find the best for me:
I'm French (but I guess both are in English, so there is no hope for me to find a French one... )
I don't send any MMS
I send a lot of SMS (I'd like a French T9)
I use Windows Live (Messenger, Contacts, Hotmail, Spaces...)
I use a SIP account to make phone calls with the wifi
I sometimes take some photos
I'm not a complete geek... so, I need a ROM not too hard to install...
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

go with the perfect edition, which is better tuned and less buggy.
You can find many extra applications in the forum. especially check the extras package under Phil's sticky (post 4 I guess). Follow the instructions in Phil's sticky to supercid and format binfs, then install andot's PEE. I guess you can also find localisation files in the forum, but I never tried that.

Oh my God, I haven't understand anything of what you said...

When you say "andot's PEE", does it mean that?
And, I think I have understand that I must do the things written in the topic of the other ROM (Phil's one), before installing the andot's ROM... Am I right?
Please excuse me if I'm bothering you with my stupid questions... I'm not a geek. A big thank for your patience!!!

Its alright mate, ill guide you
1) Run SDA_Application Unlock
2) Extract SPV-Services, copy cert.cab into your phone and open it from ur phone to install it
3) Run SP-services, click CID-Tools, Set CID=1111111, turn off your phone
4) Remove the USB cable, disable USB Active Sync Connection ( Active Sync connection options )
5) Hold the camera button when the phone is off, plug in the USB cable, you will see a 3 colour screen
6) Run teratermpro, select USB
7) Type info2, you should see some weird number and HTCSuperCID
8) Type 'format BINFS' w/o the quotes
9) Then when its done, type 'ResetDevice'
10) Then run Phil's GSMUPDATE, get it from Phil's BETA thread, first post, extract it and run RUUUpgradeUtility
11) Then run Andots' Perfect English Edition ROM , run RUUupgradeutility

Thanks a lot karhoe, it's vey nice of you!!
Before beginning: You talk about ActiveSync... but I use Windows Vista, so I have the "Gestionnaire pour appareils Windows Mobile" instead of ActiveSync... May it be a problem?

Oh, and another quick question before I begin:
Is there a way to save my SMS messages on my computer, in order to put them back on the phone after the upgrade?

I'm afraid you have a problem, SuperCID only work on WinXP, besides that, you cant run the RUU just like that in Vista, I suggest you do everything on an XP system
Yes, you can transfer SMS into your phone, use JeyoMobileExtender, trial version for few days, enough to backup, after that you can crack, but im not going to post the crack here
Also, in Vista, you don't have Active Sync, but Windows Mobile Device Centre, which is another problem, just get an XP system

[nothing... please excuse this useless topic]

I'm so stupid, I did'nt remember I have a old laptop with XP.
I'm on it currently.
I have installed ActiveSync 4.5, Jeyo MobileCompanion to backup SMS, Contacts and Call History on the PC.
Then, I ran SDA_ApplicationUnlock, but it told me "Phone is not unlockable", and just after: "SDA succesfully unlocked. PLEASE REBOOT SDA NOW!". It's quite weird...
Well, I rebooted the phone, and now I'll do your etap n° 2.

2) Extract SPV-Services, copy cert.cab into your phone and open it from ur phone to install it

I guess "SPV Services" is that: http://www.spv-developers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=236
I have a problem: I copied Cert.cab on the phone and ran it to install it, but the installation failed.
I guess it's because SDA_ApplicationUnlock hasen't work...
What should I do now?
edit: That's okay, I succeded with HTCUnlock-CVS.zip instead of SDA_ApplicationUnlock.
I'm proud of me! LoL

(problem solved)

Good luck dude, later when you want to transfer back the SMS to your phone, just Select all by hitting CTRL A, then clk Copy SMS to device

awesome mate! good luck flashing. I am warning you, it will become a habit

Thanks for your encouragements.
But I think I have a BIG problem, now:
I ran the "ROMUpdateUtility" from the WM6GSMUPDATE.zip of Phil, and I had no problem, it come to 100% quite fast.
Then, I've just ran the "ROMUpdateUtility" from wm6-for-tornado-perfect-english-edition-20070810.zip, and I now I have an error:
ERROR [260] : UPDATE ERROR
The Update utility cannot connect to your Smartphone. Please check that your USB cradle/cable is connected properly between the PC and your Smartphone.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Of course, the cable is still well connected, I haven't unplugged it.
Currently I have the 3 colors bands on the phone screen, with some things written.
That's OK now, I rebooted the phone and it worked.

Yesssss!!!!! It worked!!!!
I'm really happy!
But now I would like to know how to write SMS messages... Because I can only write numbers.
(Is there a French T9 available?)
Thanks in advance for your help.

salut,
tu es francais alors je parle francais, pour le t9, telecharge les extas dispo dans le post de phil, install xt9 english et ensuite instal MoDaCo xt9 ! et voila tu le t9 en francais

Super, merci pour ton aide !!

By default, it does not have any input, you must install T9 English or whatever language you want

COUNTRY ID error??

I tried to install the following ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=22591&highlight=ftp+site
I did everything like the instruction said but after a few seconds of collecting data from my MDA, the program on the pc said "Country error 120".
What now? I'm trying to make my german MDA compact into an english one.
-John
This problem has been posted many times on this forum...
Anyway replace the 'ROMUpgradeUt' with 'MAUpgradeUt_noID' available here:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Magician/Tools
Also don't forget to disable the USB connection by right clicking ActiveSync and unchecking the box.
Disable USB? But if I disable the USB how can upload the ROM files to my MDA? I use a USB connection to connect the MDA to my pc.
-John
Trust me it will work- I only did it yesterday to upgrade my mates ROM to 1.12.
He tried to do it himself but it didn't work. When I did it, the only thing I did different was to disable the USB in Active Sync.
Try it and see if it works... its takes about 20 mins to perform the whole thing.
Not sure if I`m missing something but everytime I attempt to connect to the ftp server above (since I`ve got the same problem) I get "access denied" when I connect via ftp.

Make sure you change the login credentials in Internet Explorer; when you get the access denied message go to File> Login As and change the username xda and password to xda.
If that still doesn't work, use a FTP client software package- some people have reported to have problems with FTP when accessed through Internet Explorer.

Ummm... where do I put this file? I'm trying to run the exe file called "o2asia_11100_922_11100_ship" with the instructions I got from the link I posted on my first post.
I opened the exe file "o2asia_11100_922_11100_ship" with winzip just to see it's content and it has the "ROMUpgradeUt" file but if I replace it and try to run the exe I don't think it will work as the installer is looking for the original "ROMUpgradeUt" and not "MAUpgradeUt_noID".
That's why I wanted clear instructions because I really don't have a *** clue what I'm doing and I really really REALLY can't use the internet now very much as I can only visit off-work sites at my coffee breaks.
So please, help me, I have all the files now but I don't know what to do with them!
-John
Can't get it to work. Here's what I did:
Extracted all the files from "WWE_11200_128_11210_ship" into d:\mda
Did everything as stated here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=14973
But doesn't work. I does upgrade, but the upgrade takes like 10 seconds, then it says to cold boot the mda and after a cold boot it is back in German language.
What am I doing wrong? The .bat file I made does some changes and I am doing everything like the instructions say but something must be wrong here. Please help.
-John
Works now, well at least it is now upgrading so something must be rigt... now I just have to wait
And to contribute and help other newbies - The BEST instructions (in my opinion) are those from "NemesisDE" in this thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=14973&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=75
See pages 4 and 5. Read the instructions on page 4 and then see page 5 for further info = where to download the large rom file as it's been moved and also get the MaUpgradeUt_noID.
To clarify: After you have the ROM (I used WWE_11200_128_11210_ship), download also MaUpgradeUt_noID.
Then you can proceed with NemesisDE's instructions, they are VERY good. I had no problems converting my german MDA compact into english.
Now this is the type of information I should've gotten yesterday... but now it works, I'm happy.

Installing programmes on WM2005

Upgraded XDA2 running 2003 to an XDA Mini S running 2005. Programmes that I previously had running on 2003 (Amirsys/Elsevier -Pocket Radiologist series). Despite many suggestions and help from Elseviers techies in St Louis they now think it's an incompatibility that cannot be overcome. Has anyone any experience of patches etc or are these programmes now completely useless.
Having said that, I find the functionality of 2005 good with calls made and taken whilst running TomTom 5.21 - which is a vast improvement!
I think the only way is to watch out for a new version which is WM 5 compatible.
But I don't understand how u can make an XDA 2 to an XDA mini s with an rom upgrade? I think u mean something different.
cu
No. I've changed my XDA2 to an XDA Mini S (wizard) which is why I'm now using WM5. Kind of wish I'd stuck with WM3.
Looked in profiles but no option for newer phones

Hello k.griffin (& anyone else who is trying to get the Amirsys soft running under WM5),
I have some "older" programs that won't run on my new Wizard as well (including your example of Amirsys Pocket Radiologist, and, e.g. a PPC dictation program). I think this is an issue for everyone trying to migrate software to WM5 devices, and it is primarily associated with the new flash architecture of WM5.
I posted some questions regarding the Pocket Radiologist software to Elsevier, too. They said a WM5 version is being prepared but nothing has happend for quite a while now.
Interestingly, I have read forum posts that claim that by chance some people had discovered this software (and several other programs that usually can't cope with the WM5 flash architecture) will run after installing the "Arabizer" suite. This is said to be associated with changes in flash memory handling when this peculiar package is installed.
So my question to everyone who is familiar with WM5 and its memory structure: how plausible is that (at the moment I am thinking of ~1% ) ? I am rather unwilling to check it out blindly, because I am not fond of getting into long hours of installing and uninstalling tools for arabic character sets [that I don't need..] in vain..
Can anybody provide some statements on that ?
there is a hack for pocketradiologist so it work with wm5,
let me search it in my harddisk and will post it,but its seem its illegal
Arabizer
I installed Arabizer, but it doesn't makes a difference !
Who has the magical hack or can fix it in the registry ?

AFAIK the file "MSDAERES.DLL" is part of M$ VB runtime for PPC.
I will try to install it on my PDA this afternoon and let you know.
cheers.
I was able to install pocket radiologist without any problem.
First I installed ADOCE.WM5.CAB, then READER APPLICATION.PPC_2577.CAB and CHEST 100.PPC_2577.CAB.
It's quite good except the radiographs are quite small on PDA screen.
What operating system is on your PDA?
cheers.

Hi ttangcho,
thanks for replying. My operating system is WM5. My pda is a qtek 9000 with Spanish Rom. I tried making a soft reset before installing it, and later I tried a hard reset getting the same message in both actions.
I first tried to install ADOCEforMIMSonPDA from WM5 file but i got that message. So couldn´t keep on going.
What would you recomend me?
Thanks in advance buddy

I'm using WM5 WWE and I installed it after hard reset.
Try to install Ms VB Runtime on your device first. This VB runtime includes "MSDAERES.DLL". I hope this work. By the way, I installed it successfully without VB runtime.

do i need to install any of the modules first and then substitute by the crack file?

Good to hear that you were able to install the program. VB runtime is way too big to put in the main memory. If you want to install VB runtime on the RAMdisk or SD card, do the followings.
1. Create "\RAMdisk\Windows" directory
2. Open your reg edit program and add \RAMdisk\Windows\ in the SystemPath
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Loader]
"SystemPath"=\RAMdisk\Windows\ \Windows\..............
(Note. this is Multi_SZ)
or you can cut and paste the following and add to your registry.
----------------------------------------------------
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Loader]
"SystemPath"=hex(7):5c,5c,52,41,4d,64,69,73,6b,5c,5c,57,69,6e,64,6f,77,73,5c,\
5c,00,5c,5c,77,69,6e,64,6f,77,73,5c,5c,6f,65,6d,5c,5c,00,5c,5c,52,65,6c,65,\
61,73,65,5c,5c,00,00,00,00
----------------------------------------------------
3. Soft Reset using SOFTWARE or power off and on couple of times and soft reset using your stylus.
4. Install VB run time on your RAMdisk.
This is how I did in order to install VB Runtime (3MB) and M$ .NET Compact platform 2.0 SP1(2.2MB) on the RAMdisk.
Cheers!

thanks you all buddies, it worked, at the end, but worked!!!
now i can go with all pocket radiologist on my handheld device, it´s really amazing!!!
see ya in another life brother

upgrade auch unter vista moeglich?

SORRY: wrong titel!! translation: upgrade to WM6 using Windows VISTA!!
Hi!
i am a newbe but i informed me since 1 week and so i want to give WM6 a chance.
i am trying to upgrade my qtek s200(HTC prophet) G4 to WM6 smartv1.3.
first of all i am using the following helps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308755
i try do us:
RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID
to upgrade my mda. but i get always the same error:
ERROR [248~260] : UPDATE ERROR
by using the readme.txt i can only find the following info: pls restart mda and pc. i did both but i still get this error
i guess its because i use vista and i jump over the step : install active sync 4.5 (this is not possible in vista)
has any one an idea or has someone experience upgrading his htc prophet from WM5 to WM6 on WINDOWS VISTA?
thanks for help!!
flo
P.S.: i tried di kill all process including deactivating firewall and viren scanner. i also tried to close the securite center (is not possible)
nothing helped!
P.P.S.: i searched in google and i found out, that some people have successfully upgraded their mda on vista(but it was an other device)
P.P.P.S.: i also found an RUU on http://205er.de/ppc.htm but he confused me. he uses also a s200 device BUT the RUU is not for s200 (i am guessing, because their is another picture at the upgrade routine )
please yous forums search ... you can found a lot of hits her!!

Problem with WM 5 Upgrade

Hi at all,
i saw your thread to update the MDA2 to Windows Mobile 5. I downloaded the file from rapidshare and followed the readme. In one step the readme says that I should connect the MDA with the PC over USB and run the programm "HimaUpgradeUt_noID.exe", so I did. The programm brings error 102: Checksum Error, but I followed the steps in the readme...
What am I doing wrong? Which checksums aren't correct? The sums of the new ROM or the old one?
Thanks for help!
PS: Sorry for my bad English, but I'm not a native English speaker ;-)
the text file i got in my rom packet told me very spc to put my pda in the bootloader before running the flash upgrade
Thx for your answer!
Yes, but I don't exactly want to do, first I have to change the Checksums, then I have to put the MDA in the bootloader mode and then? What should I do then?
Sry, but this is the first time, I do such a thing
if it's the correct type of rom for the device
and it's in bootloader
connected to a powered cradle
and displaying serial
as the txt guide say
starting the flash tool should be enough
hm...
this doesn't work...
I don't know exactly weather this is the right version, my MDA II has
- 125MB RAM
- 2GB SD Card
- Intel PXA263
I downloaded following: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=287941
Is this the right version?
http://www.buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_phorum&Itemid=125&phorum_query=read,26,6594
good guide
Everything works!
Thank you very much! The version is very good, with a lot of useful programs, but the American keyboard layout is a bit strange for Germans ;-)
Hi
I have still some problems...
My MDA doesn't connect with the network, so that I am unable to phone or send SMS. The displays shows "no service", but this isn't possible, because here is a service avalible. Are there some special setting I have to do for German use?
Thanks!
EDIT: When I tap "find network" there is an option to choose "E-Plus" (my network), but when I tap OK, there is a message "registering with network" but in the end it is still "no service". I don't know exactly but I guess that it has something to do with my debitel-light prepaid-card. Debitel-light is a kind of E-Plus resell.

MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe vs. ROMUpgradeUt.exe (without Activesync installed)

Newbie question:
I've noticed that MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe program as found in http://vidmes.com/xda/Uni/Radios/Universal_radio-1.15.00.rar does not require to have Activesync installed.
However, ROMUpgradeUt.exe program (the one included in excellent Tomal's ROMs) does require to have Activesync installed. If not, you get a "rapi.dll not found" error.
Both programs seem to work with my SPV M5000 (I have made a couple of flash operations with them, both Radio and ROM).
I don't like to have Activesync installed, so my question is:
Is it OK to understand that it is safe to always use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe instead of ROMUpgradeUt.exe when upgrading to newer HTC Universal ROMs. (specially with Tomal's ROMs)?
Thanks.
Please, confirm
Please, confirm if is it fine to always use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe instead of ROMUpgradeUt.exe when flashing new ROMs. I want to flash from a PC without Activesync installed, and thus ROMUpgradeUt.exe is discarded.
Thanks in advance.
Put the device in serial mode, and use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
