New TMO Official ROM - (1.13)

Seems like T-Mobile have brought out their second maintanance release, supposedly including blackberry (jumps up and down, then realises blackberry is overhyped and overpriced).
Downloading it now from
http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/download_manager_mda_com.html
From the filename it appears the radio stack is still at 1.12, but I'll check once it's on.
Apologies if this is old news but I couldn't find any reference to it so far.

Technology hates me
Computer decided to reboot during ROM flash, feck knows why. Luckily it seems the TMO upgrade utility can restart its flashing procedure even though connection was lost.
Don't mind computer problems if they got some kind of sense to them, but randomly just restarting for the first time since I built it during the most ackward time just proves to me that computers are both evil and have a since of twisted irony.

Any improvement
Any improvement in this release?
I have been using the May update (BigStorage applied) since July fairly successfully.
I don't want to go through this if it's not worth it, so would appreciate advice from anyone who has applied it first.
Thanks

Well it's now got Blackberry support, whoopty f***in do. Also the radio version is still 1.12 so that has to be updated seperatly. In the 15min its been alive I havn't noticed any major changes but never really expected to.
Will post if I experience any problems or notice anything lifechangingly amazing about this new ROM. Would be nice if people using this ROM could do the same.
BTW anybody got a list of the ExtROM files and their comparitve uselessness? I went through the 1.12 ROM with a CAB manager but really can't be arsed this time round. Probably just install the whole lot through shear laziness. On second thoughts the BB client takes up 1.3Mb, so like f**k am i letting that onto my baby.

Hi Herman,
Why not go for BigStorage as you're not using the ext-rom. In the upgrade to radio 1.13 you can find how to do it from the shipped rom & on the ftp there's a bs 1.13 rom present, based on the Dutch TMO version so WWE, but use your own ext-rom files for specific UK settings.
Cheers, M

Cheers
Sorry, didn't really put it right. Already had the 1.13 radio downloaded and just installed it after, was no worries there. As for the BigStorage ROM, I've never particularly liked the idea, especially after reading problems people have had reverting back to the old storage configuration. I'm quite happy with my 512Mb SD card, wouldn't really use the extra space in storage anyway.
Cheers for your thoughts though mate
Ps had the new ROM up and running for few hours now, not noticed any glaring issues apart from that damn lack of BT serial ports issue but thats the radio not the OS ROM.

BigStorage
Finally gave in and overcame my fears. Applied the BigStorage hack to the latest TMO ROM as I read on here that it's reversible. Well seemed to have gone smoothly, although the increased hard reset time at the begining nearly made my heart stop.
If anyone wants I can upload the latest TMO official ship (1.13) with BigStorage hack, which doesn't need the SD card flashing method. Can do straight over USB.
Just post a msg if you want me to upload.

Hi parklife,
Still strugling to get it done? I gues herman3101 will upload a modified nk.nbf. Hope you succeed with it. At least I did with a patched nk.nbf. Can't upload myself for a few days as I'm not in the neighborhood of my PC. It's just me & my magician and I'm not complaining.
Cheers, M

Uploading now
Well I'm uploading the ROM up to the ftp now. I've included the updated nk.nbf as well as all the files needed to do a USB install. The files were small enough for me to think well why not. Once that's been uploaded I'll check the download section and find a link for you all.
Further to the guy who couldn't update his ROM, being kinda vague there buddy but I'll see what I can do. If you would be so kind as to follow these instructions pretty much to the letter then we should be OK:
- Hard Reset your MDA (press power button at same time as reset)
- After the selecting your time zone do a soft reset to avoid the customization process
- Plug your fresh MDA into your USB and wait for ActiveSync to bring up the connection wizard, select Guest partnership
- With your MDA still plugged in but in Guest mode just double click on the file you downloaded of T-Mobile and follow the onscreen instructions.
If you still have problems after following those steps then don't hesitate to reply but please be more specific so we don't have to guess what your issue is.
Will post a message when the BS ROM is up on the ftp
PS Well with the BigStorage ROM it obviously doesn't matter which ExtROM, but I would always go for the one from your provider so if you are with T-Mobile UK then go for their ExtROM because your guarenteed compatibility

Link to the ROM
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Magician/WWE_TMO_1.13 Official Release with BS.zip
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Magician/
The first is a direct link which probably won't wok because of the way I named the file and the second is a link to the folder which it is in.
I have to be honest I have no idea how to move this ROM into it's appropriate folder under Magician/BigStorage ROMs but o well. You'll find it where I've specified.
BTW the file attached is a list of my interpretations of what the 1.13 ExtROM files do. By no means conclusive or correct, its just what I've noticed them do during a stage by stage install and looking for clues inside the cabs.

herman3101,
Album & camera are bundled in the cab. That's the only flaw I noticed in your nice description.
Probably a moderator will move your file to the download section. Guess that's what happened to my BS rom as well. Thanks for uploading your files. It takes me ages to upload those files with my magician.
Good work & seems you're right on my track with decisions making for BS. Only I messed my first try completely and that's something I'm not wishing to anyone. Just waiting for the first hard-reset to finish is enough I think.
Regards, M

hey herman, thanks for the upload, i got it to work on my M500. But i would like to add something on the set up. You need to do some extra steps to avoid the the ID ERROR 120. Ok here ya go:
-Extract the rom
-edit the RUU.conf with notepad, add [CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1 on the top
-copy MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe from ftp to the extract folder
-press power, camera and rest on your magician
-plug the magician to the USB
-AND execute the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
-follow instuction
I waited for 4 minutes till i got my welcome mode.
for more info go check on the ampda how to's pdf file
thanks for herman3101, oltp, and ampda, now i have the perfect rom that i will keep for some time.

Hey Parklife,
Glad you finally made it. Don't think the Dutch rom is any different from the UK rom, both are 1.13 WWE TMO. Except for the ext-rom ofcourse. Managed to get my time on 'h:mm am' too with the english (us) region.
Good thing is that everyone can choose of three methods, to get this BS rom, whichever way they're feeling most comfortable ith and that has been different before.
Cheers to all of you.

Cheers for complementing the post, didn't include it because my MDA is from TMO UK so I don't need to do that step.
PS I've been running the ROM for a little while now and it seems as stable as ever

hey, one more question for you guys...after i install the Camera_Wizard_Magician_T-Mobile_WWE_RC28_Customize.CAB, my magician clock changed into 24 hours clock format. I tried to change it into 12 hours format on regional setting - date like oltp said, but could not change it back to the 12 hours format...have you guys had the same problem? no biggies, i just not use to the format.

Parklife,
I noticed that the clock changes only after I alter the 'time style' on the time tab (sample changes immediately) go to another tab and then touch the clock on my programbar. Changing the region seems not necessary. Yesterday I fiddled a bit with the settings, now I used a more structural approach.
Cheers, M

Installation help

I am trying to install nghianga's rom, but anytime the installation ends normal (seems to), but the S200 only ends up in bootloader mode and whatever I try, it doesn't change. I have read a few posts about this problem, but I did't find any solution.
I know that I am not an experienced Prophet user, but I would like to have some installation help with this. Also I can't find the NB_Update_nghianga rom, maybe it works better with this one.
thx

The same for me.... please can help us?

You MUST downgrade to a relevant v2.2 ROM first, then upgrade
JD

Sorry JD, I tried this too, no success!

Maybe try going back to a 2.2 and try then to install smart1's Excellent clean rom and see if this works, then think about the other rom?
JD

Thanks JD. I managed to install smart1 clean rom, bt this has some problems for me. I posted a message a few minutes ago in the large wm6 thread.
This is my post:
I installed this rom, since it is the only wm6 rom that I can install. I installed this rom starting from a factory released 2.20 rom. Here are a few problems.
1) error message that timewizard.exe can't be started, i csan't find any relation pointing to this app
2) IRDA (infrared) does not work, same problem as in the aku 3.3.b1 jesterz rom
3) Photocontacts pro does not work properly
4) I can add my BT headset, bt it doesn;t work with my phone
5) SMS backp doesn't work ( also not in aku 3.3 b1)
6) a number of other apps don't work (calendar+ for instance).
7) Sync with outlook doesn't work, even more after my first try to sync, all contacts, phone history and speed dial gone!
Do we have to wait for a better rom or has anyone found soltions?

Don't forget this is a WM6 file, there will be a lot of programs that do not run correctly, this is not a problem of the rom, but more a problem of the software you are trying to install. Try to play with the ROM clean after a hard reset and install a little at a time

Hi JD, I nderstand the WM6 issue, but a number of problems are really bgging me:

2) IR does not work, I bought a Prophet to se IR
3) when I tried to add a number in speed dial I receive a message that there is not enough memory available!
4) etc.

This rom is a close as it can get to the original one.....a super clean rom is also in the way....
This rom is not a hack from another device.
Many thanks to mamaich BEPE AND dr.P FOR ALL THE Support and all the authors/xda of the freeware apps.... and specially.....my wife that lend her wizard to me in order to finish this rom,and for putting up with the many hours i ignored her.

The rom is based in the [REAL THING]
PLEASE DO NOT PM ME ABOUT THE ROM AS I WILL NOT ANSWER ....POST YOUR QUERIES IN THE FORUM FOR THE BENEFIT OF EVERYONE.
Please note that i had no chance of fully testing this rom because my wizard is not fully operational......this rom is intended for users to use it as a base for their own roms....
Therefore my support for this rom will be very limited.
This rom was build as a special request from jwzg and other members.
There will be a supper clean rom....for clean freaks....eheh
Also there will be an updated version of the current "real thing"
rom has been taking down due to a problem in phone settings....

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?

[rom][apache][generic][all bootloaders][wm6.5 pro 23075][version 0.2]

Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional Build 23075 for the Apache​
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR DEVICE BY FLASHING MY ROM. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.​
Introduction
This is the first in a series of constant ROM updates for this device. Please remember that Windows Mobile 6.5 is still in beta. It's not finalized and thus bugs will be present.
This ROM is meant for the average user. I'm only providing updates for Windows Mobile 6.5 for the Apache as many people have no idea how to build a ROM. It's a minimal ROM, but it WORKS!. You want something more complex? Go build it yourself.
I'm working on this in my free time. Please bare with me with updates and fixes. I'll try my best to keep development going in a timely manner.
ROM Download
Mirror 1: Available soon...
Carrier CAB Download
My ROM is built genericly. This means your phone will lack the necessary carrier software to work correctly on your carrier's network.
These carrier cabs were designed for the Titan, but they work just fine on the Apache:
http://dcd1182.n715dp.com/index.php?dir=Titan/carriers/
Select your carrier from that site, download the cab file and run it on your device after you flash this ROM.
Installation
This update will completely wipe your device's memory. Please backup any critical data before attempting to use this ROM upgrade.
The best way to successfully flash a ROM with the Apache is to do so in bootloader mode. To get into bootloader mode do the following:
1) Unplug the device from your PC.
2) With the device on, press and hold the power button.
3) While holding the power button also press & hold the voice memo button (the one on the side that looks like a cassette)
4) Now, while holding the power and voice memo button, insert a stylus or pen into the reset hole on the bottom of the device.
5) If everything was successful the device will now show a screen stating the bootloader version. If not, try again!
6) Reconnect the Apache to your PC and wait for Windows to install drivers for the device.
7) Run the ROM updater posted above.
General Information
If a specific carrier ROM/bootloader specific ROM is needed, please feel free to ask. I'll cook one up and post it here when I get a free moment. As in, if you want a ROM with your carrier support built in...ask me!
If a specific app is requested, tweak, or feature please feel free to message me or post in this thread. I would appreciate feedback as to what to include in the next release. I'm open to any suggestions!

oh! man! thx! Great present in my Birthday =)

Flashing your rom! Speed good! If intresting i may send you bagreports

I have a stable ROM of WM 6.5 23075 built. I tested it on my Apache a week ago and all seemed well. I did not bundle any programs with it as it can be quite finicky so I'm taking baby steps.
My Apache died (screen cracked), but I'm willing to keep updating this ROM base with the newest available builds if I get feedback.
You need to have a Verizon device with Bootloader 2.5. If all goes well I will rebuild the ROM to be generic and link to specific carrier cab installation files.
PM me if you want a copy. I don't want the masses installing it just yet.

I want! =) send PM U

Building one for you now for Bootloader 1.0/1.01/1.04.
I'm also building a new one for Bootloader 2.02/2.04/2.05.
I've included a few programs I feel are basic and useful:
-HTC Performance
-Arcsoft MMS 5
-Apache Camera App
-Internet Connection Sharing
-Advanced Configuration
-SDHC Card Support
-6 Button Com Manager
-Touchflo Dialer w/ Smartdial (kinda buggy but it works at the moment)
I'm going to work on tweaking the build next. Once I get a stable mix of programs I'm not going to include many more. The Apache is very limited when it comes to memory so less is better.
I'll post it when I have it uploaded for you all.

Thank you cant wait!

Any Updates?

WM 6.5 ROM Expired. Urgent help needed!

Hi Guys,
I am in a serious fix ! I downloaded WM 6.5 ROM from this site about 3 months ago & installed it on my HTC Touch Pro. It worked like a charm...until this Morning. It now says " This concludes the beta test of this software release." etc....I can't connect to my phone via USB(activesync), thus I can't reload any Software onto it. I tried to Hard Reset...but the phone just restarts & goes back to this message...Is there any way of getting a ROM installed on this phone ? Any help will be greatly appreciated !
Thanks~

do you have an sd card if so have you tryed that method ?

Haha, no i don't have an SD card, but i solved my problem. I went to bootlog.. somehow XD. I tried many different methods, but i eventually found one that worked. Then i just Installed a new ROM. Problem solved ^^.

same problem here - would be nice if developers mention that their software expires
will now try to flash new rom too

I have the same issue - I have an Acer neotouch and is now bricked due to expiration of windows. How do I flash another rom or re-load factoy rom? I cannot get my phone to connect to my PC.

same problem!
I have the same problem, this night @ 00:00 it expired.
I have very valuable text files in my phone memory, really sucks.
I really need this back for my job.. Has anyone an idea of recovering the data without flashing a new rom?
And if i flash a new rom, i suppose all data @ phone memory will be lost?
Greatings Bouke

I also have this problem. It seems pretty widespread

That's because it's May 1st everywhere, lol.
This is why you didn't want to flash (or cook) a rom with the beta version of Office 2010. Now, there's a non-time-bombed version available, and you'll need to upgrade to it. A savvy flasher will also always advance the date on a build by a few years immediately after flashing, just to see if there is a time-bomb built in. There's no one to blame but yourself if you didn't do it.

Thats great Farmer Ted and very smug of you...however we may not all be as experienced as you and are looking for a way to resolve this issue.

Don't get mad at me. The moment you decide to flash a custom rom to your phone, you have to take responsibility for anything and everything that happens to it. Custom roms don't come with warranties. This isn't the first time that raphael roms have expired due to time-bombs. Almost all of Monx's roms went kaplooey over a year ago. Everyone knew that office mobile 2010 was beta (and if you didn't, it's your fault). It says so right on the download on windows marketplace, and it says it would expire in the spring of 2010. A month ago, many users received messages that their roms would expire in 30 days, and there were threads about it all over the place. It shouldn't be a surprise that the early rom builds that came out with it had a hard expiration date. The problem is that the time-bomb in the early builds was in the Office package, which no one knows how to remove, whereas in the more recent builds the time-bomb is in shell, which is easily patched.

Solution that worked:
Step 1. Turn Off your phone
Step 2. Turn on keeping the Power On button + Low Volume Key pressed untill you see a tricolor display showing current ROM details
Step 3. Connect the phone to PC using USB and flash using any ROM of your choice
Note: This will erase all the data on the phone.

Anyone found a way to backup the data on the phone?
It will run some programs (Sense, some services, some apps accessible via Sense - all accessible for short times by locking, then unlocking the phone) but not connect with Activesync.
Autostart from SD does not seem to work (don't have a known working app to compare)
All I'm missing now is a way to access the internal storage.
Any ideas?

can u still add app shortcuts to sense?

yes but that's no use.
unfortunately nothing from the start menu or sense home links will work.
just some that are started directly from sense, but not cookie editor for example.

Winmo 6.5 Rom
Can anyone tell me how to get the download to upgrade my 6.1 to 6.5 on my touch pro. Thanks

WM 6.5 ROM expired
Hi Everybody,
I succeeded to flash my Samsung Omnia keeping my data under /My Storage. But all the other data lost. Here is what I have done:
1. Hard Reset: date will be set back to 20080101 (data under My Documents will be lost)
2. Flash new ROM using Samsung Modem Driver. I suggest to use ROMs from pdafanclub.com
3. I tried to restore my data/settings using Spb Backup, but many applications did not worked because of the new ROM, and my device froze continuously.
Good luck!
