Extract T-mobile Myfaves Program?

Sadly, t-mobile has discontinued the wizard/MDA (vario)/k-jam
Interestingly enough, they are releasing a new phone (the wing) which to be honest is just about the same as the MDA (but in my opion worse... and i wont bother to list the MANY reasons)
However. the new phone will support their MyFaves feature. And apparently in order to take advantage of this plan, you need a myfaves capable phone. But phones are windows mobile devices, which leads me to think it is more of myfaves software than an actual hardware component that would determine if you could use myFaves or not. Does anyone know if they can extract the myfaves program from a rom or not?
They have released the wm6 rom for the t-mobile dash and the updated rom can be found:
http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/
So i was thinking, if they could implement myfaves on the new dash roms, it should be possible to install a similar program to the wm6 MDAs!?
But of course, even if this were the case, they wouldn't offer it cuz they want you to buy their worthless new phone which is more of a downgrade than an upgrade.
Here is the wing:

Pretty... but sooo not worth it...
it lacks flash and is the same processor speed! Not worth the money!

You can actually sign up for MyFaves with our MDA,
I am currently on My Faves 2000 plan with my T-Mobile MDA, just call in say you just purchased an T-Mobile Dash and that you want to change your plan to the My Faves plan, in which I did, then just log on to t-mobile.com and set your 5 faves. They didnt ask for any info on the phone or anything, I just told them I purchased it off of ebay and just picked it up from the post office.

They "claimed" that their system over time would detect that you are not using a myfaves compatible phone, and then after a month or so, they would cancel the myfaves off the account. But the reason i ask this, is cuz their new phone will have the myfaves program integrated, which would make it easy and convenient

Well I've had MyFaves over a month now, and still using it with no problems, but yes easy and convient would be cool.

been using my faves for a good three to four months i'd say, no probs at all, manage myfaves from the website, the quick dial plugin, forgot the name but spb has one and there are others too...

AT&T With HTC America!

I just want to say up front that I love HTC products.
Here's what happened when I called AT&T about an exchange on my HTC 8525. I called told them that I loved the phone however the keyboard never has lit up which is a inconvenience when sitting in a bar trying to send a text & I would like to do a manufacture warranty exchange . I went through the verification & was asked if the void sticker was white or red, they asked if the scren was ok which it was. I was asked if it had been droped & if it had any gouges, I said it had been droped & the case was scracthed a little like any used phone. They said there would be a 490.00 charge if there was a gouge on the phone which the was not. I get the new phone & was having a problem with MEdia NET & it was brought to my attention that my bill would be over 600.00 when cows fly I told them. I then unlocked the CID & SIM went to T-Mobile & signed a contract with them. I saw the new Wing & asked if the OS would work on my phone & was told yes except for the WiFi & infared. Knowing there was a patch for WiFi & not using the Infared it sounded good to me. I e-mailed HTC America & this iis how helpful they were!
Thank you for your inquiry regarding ROM update.
Â*
We understand how important this can be. We manufacture devices for various carriers and each model have an individual ROM with carrier specific features. ROM available is specific to a particular model and cannot be used for another model. You cannot use the carrier branded model ROM update for your device. You need to use your model specific ROM update.
Currently, our developers are working with HTC devices and Windows Mobile 6 to determine what devices will be offered an upgrade. Unfortunately, there is no estimated time for availability. The ROM needs to be downloaded on a computer and the file cannot be run from a storage card.

Robert, I hope we have answered your question in detail. Feel free to contact us again if you have any further questions.

All I can say is what jerks. I called T-Mobile & got the info needed. As soon a I use up my 1000 plus minutes I'll put the new SIM in & download the T-Mobile cab's. I'm buying the Wing or S730 seeing how I can getit for 299.00 after rebates. I'll not pay there 600.00 plus bill & I filled an AG complaint against the both of them. WHAT JERKS!

How to Change HTC TYTN II imei?

Hi all,
I really need to change my HTC TYTN II imei. Can anyone help me on this? Is there any software I can get from this forum to change my imei myself? Hope you all can guide me on this.

Changing your IMEI is seriously illegal in several countries.

Why you want to change imei,did you steal it,and you dont want the oparator tracking you.to change imei is ilegal.

Anything in this forum/site that is deemed illegal such as software or hacks will get you banned and the thread removed. Do you understand what the IMEI is used for? I can see if your device got hacked as many places such as Brazil had this problem with the TDMA/CDMA network. GSM is more secure but still not perfect. If you think you got hacked then loose the device and talk to your service provider right away as changing the International Mobile Equipment Identity will not help!
If you are on GSM and use a SIM card, most all wireless providers will not require you to register your IMEI. How many iPhones are in Canada on the Rogers network? And has Rogers nailed anyone for having one? Your SIM is what GSM networks use to ID you and your usage, not the phone. I would not be using an AT&T Tilt if IMEI would black list me from my provider and force me to use one of their (somewhat) outdated and poor selection of full featured phones...

I see an old NES Conrta fan here
I tried that and I still don't have unlimited lives.. er,... minutes on my phone

ya, still play it now and then. I was hoping someone would try this on their phone then post that's it's not working for them.
Which I then would have replied
you must first downgrade your rom to windows mobile 4.9
then upgrade your radio to version 1.66
remove your battery
reinsert your battery
try the code again
..hehe jokes

it wont work if you haven't unlocked first!!!
proevoguy, u must install hardSPL first
after that you must downgrade to WinMobile 4.7
, then search registry for IMEI
if you haven't install hardSPL, the key is hidden
mmm why is this thread is not locked??
lol

People want to change imei doesn't mean he/she is using a stolen phone. I want to change my imei just because I don't want AT&T to know I am using a PDA phone w/ their non-pda data plan

I was actually want the same thing because AT&t's plan for this phone is like 64.99 a month, which is just outrageous.

for those that care, i used an 8525 for 7 months before it broke and att never said a word about the fact that i didn't have a pda plan, when i took the phone in they asked if i wanted to register my new phone with them without changing my plan and it didn't cost me a dime, i was previously on a nokia 6030i as far as they knew

Same for me and Rogers. They had the Motorola 320, and Nokia 6820b in their database. Those 2 I got for next to nothing as I renewed my plan both times. The phone after those, I bought direct from HP as I was outsourced by them and got a good discount when buying the HW6955 (HTC Sable) through them and not Rogers (kept my old plan and the phone was factory unlocked too). Next is my current phone: AT&T Tilt, again bought the phone from some place other than Rogers and kept my old plan. If you got the phone for free or discounted, you will be forced into a new plan and the plan will always match the type of your phone. That is why you never buy from your cellphone provider. My 3 dollar internet plan I added long ago, only covered text based sites which matched my very old Motorola 320 So I axed that 3 dollar service from my plan. The guy was surprised to find out the last 2 phones were not on his list With what our providers have to offer for phones, Canada is way behind everyone else (can you say September for iPhone? And that is a maybe). Rogers added Tytn to their fleet of phones when everyone else was getting ready for the TyTN II. They still offer the original TyTn and still no plans for a Kaiser. We will get the Diamond but only after the rest of the world has warn them out. So in short: buy your phone in full and avoid a contract renewal. In the long run, you will still save money and avoid being put in their database.

yeah. It is very slow in Canada. However, I phoned Fido for their additional $7 dollars all you can browse service plan, it is required to registered your IMEI with Fido. Or I should said it this way, Fido only allows the IMEI on their list to sign up for that plan. That means without changing the IMEI, you are not eligible for that plan. I know some of the people change the IMEI on their Iphone just to use that data plan.

well the poster should
explain why they want to change their IMEI no reason just makes it all seem aloof to me!

And that is not "stealing" how?
I have often wondered - I think that it is the RIAA that made it illegal to "break copy protection schemes" - in other words to remove code that was designed to protect a program or music or software. In this forum we "remove" bits that keep us from installing ROMs - technically this would put us in violation of this?
We get away with it because?
1. it is our purchased phone and we can do with it what we want?
2. we don't sell the software that we make (ROMS)
I am pretty sure that is we change the IMEI numbers and enable someone to hurt provider's revenue stream that this will be the straw that breaks the camels back and they will go after the culprits.
My two bits worth...

proevoguy - the forum will generally not discuss IMEI changing as it is highly illegal in most countries. Please search for "get you sore" for some info on why most people won't assist you on this. Personally I'm not against the technical discussion of IMEI changing, but as it is such a dangerous subject, it's best not to touch it.
I'm going to lock the thread, but leave it visible, so if anyone wants to help you privately they can. Just don't forget to lube up first if you get caught with an IMEI changed phone.

Additional Touch Pro ROMs coming (Japan)

This is purely for information, but the Touch Pro should be making its way to Japan in the near future as the E30HT on carrier au/KDDI (CDMA), X05HT on SoftBank, and HT-01A on NTT/DoCoMo (both UMTS-I/2100). Still no word from Japan's 4th carrier, e-Mobile (UMTS-IX/1700), but it has just launched its own version of the Diamond, so it might also pick up the Touch Pro.
Preliminary details are here (in Japanese).
So to cooks be on the lookout, there might be some goodies we can pick off of these various devices/ROMs.
And more importantly, this is great news for SoftBank users, since it almost certainly guarantees a way to access SoftBank's unlimited data network/plan (which is proxy-password protected and has been rather difficult to open up on the Kaiser and other WM devices; those that know about "WiFiWake" will understand).

Thanks for this information fhsieh.
I am moving to Japan this weekend, taking my EU TP with me.
I plan to get a contract with Softbank and put the sim card into my EU device.
Should work, no?
Now of course, I am very interested in "SoftBank's unlimited data network/plan" that you mentioned.
Unfortunately I have not used network plan here in EU, as I had a company sim in my TP, and company did not allow network plans.
What did you mean by "those that know about "WiFiWake" will understand"?
I do not know about WiFiWAke, so I do not understand.
would you mind to explain to me?
Thanks and regards,
ARo

I knew for a while that the Touch Pro would be released here in Japan.
However, its good to bring this to everyones attention. I am planning to rip some of the roms features and hope to get some speedy roms going.
I also know that there will be many drawbacks, since all Japanese WM devices are usually crippled and many usual features are cut out. ( ICS for example)
About the Wifiwake issue. I use my softbank flat rate on both, my shift and my touch pro without any problems...(not using wifiwake though )

Yes, Softbank runs a UMTS 2100 network and the EU TP has UMTS 2100. Keep in mind, to get a contract you'll need your foreigner ID card (外国人登録証) or the receipt that shows you've applied for it. If you're not familiar, your company/host should be able to explain everything to you.

SoftBank has a few different data plans that are intended for different phones/services, and depending on how much you use 3G, certain plans may be cheaper for you. Of course you can use an unlocked phone on their network, but each plan has different network settings, and one of the plans requires the program WiFiWake to register the correct network password (although this could be different now).
I must admit I haven't tested it personally because I am not yet in Japan (I will be soon, however), so for more details I would suggest searching the Kaiser forum for "Softbank". It might be confusing but at least you'll find the XDA members in Japan who can provide more specifics.
The only other thing to consider is that most Japanese message each other through "emails" that are pushed through the carriers' MMS services. For this, you'll need to either get Softbank's S!Mail app (which is why the Japanese ROM will be useful, if the new TP S!Mail app is improved), or MMSLite. And then (optionally) an emoji font. Again, Kaiser forums will have much more information for that.
Of course, now that Softbank will officially have the TP, I suspect many Kaiser users in Japan might want to upgrade, so there's a fair chance that someone (like aquasesh ) will simply cook a ROM with all the right settings that you can simply flash.

Sounds like a plan.

silly question... searched again and came up with answer. DOH!

Hi all.
I'm using an unlocked HTC Touch Pro on Softbank.
I've never been able to get the MMSlite option to work on my phone.
I'd like to try to the S!Mail app that comes on the X04HT or X05HT.
Since the X04HT is out, did anyone manage to strip out the app so that other users can install it?
On a similar note, my problem might be related to the fact that I've never been able to get my @softbank.ne.jp email address activated/changed from the default random address you get from a new contract. Does anyone know how if there's any way to get that step done on my phone?!
Thanks!

I have also been using the TP unlocked with the softbank flatrate connection. I have used the flatrate on the past 3 phones without a problem. In fact, even applied for the newer flat rate plan using the old connection method without billing issues thus far...
I dont really care for the Japanese locked down rom... I just want the radio

Softbank X05HT cid info wanted
I just HARD-SPLed my X05HT, forgot my original CID to patch Wifiwake.exe.
Can someone be kind enough to supply the cid info by following command via mtty.exe:
Cmd>getdevinfo
Cmd>info 2

Is there any softbank plan that supports the wm device as a modem?
In another words, I would like to connect my laptop on the internet using my phone as the gateway.
Cheers.

Time to Replace My SANYO MM7400 (yes, no?)

I have a sanyo mm7400 and a webcam program hooked up to send emails on my laptop whenever motion is detected. Basically it dials #777 and connects to the vision network...Just got a new qwest htc ppc6800 titan phone off ebay and am planning on using oilpro's / Imcokeman's unlocker to unlock then sign up phone with my current provider sprint...Big question is do I need to edit the bios for PAM (phone as modem)as I heard there are some intricacies around some dll files that my SANYO does not have.

Welcome to the forum
YES!!!
Replace it with an HTC device so you can get the great support of this site!

so your going to unlock a sprint phone to use it on sprint?
Qwest has not been a real carrier since the late 90's.. They have been reselling re badged sprint phones on the sprint network since so as long as sprint doesnt mind activating it there should be no flash of anything required.

yep Unlocked it using Oilpro's and imCoKeMan's
First version of unlocker did not work, I would get the "invalid service provider message...but second version on ppc geeks did, ver. 2.53 I think. I am a rebel and burned the stock ruu even thou NO ACTIVsnych (usually a requirement) and the screen was a rainbow ! :O (guess I have the magic touch ....Called sprint and they said the esn (a secret code) was still tied to an account...Good thing it was my last day to open a complaint file against the ebay seller...Hopefully he'll call em up and get it changed round...
