UPDATED!!! [[RELEASE]] Tornado Windows Mobile 6 ALPHA

WM6 for Tornado
ALPHA RELEASE!
The link is now BROKEN as I have had to take down the ALPHA version to make way for the test BETA that I've made available to a few people for preliminary testing.
Note: This is in no way a finished product, some stuff still might not work, but as far as Tornado ROM's go in terms of speed and reliability, it runs like sh!t off a shovel
But we take no responsibility for any catastrophies that might occur eg. you brick your phone, your dog dies, your girlfriend gets pregnant etc. etc.
This ROM was developed entirely in our free time between college and university, there's no need to pay us for that, but a donation would be nice. If you wish to do so, then please click HERE
To Do:
MMS
HTC Camera App
Remove remaining HTC debug apps
Changed:
Fixed WiFi problems
Fixed Audio problems
Fixed GPRS issues (IPL 2.00, SPL 2.00.0008 and Radio 4.1.13.28_02.61.01 included in the NBF to sort this out)
Custom splash screen
Voice Command in ROM
xT9 cab (must install BEFORE the lanugage pack)
xT9 Language pack with 14 different languages
HTC Task Manager cab
HTC Comm Manager cab (unfortunately, bluetooth settings don't work yet)
HTC Clear storage cab
SP5 and SP5m button fixes as cabs
I will embed these cabs at a later date, however atm, I don't have time so I've just dumped the i-mate SP5 ROM and cab'd up a few apps you all wanted.

Flashing instructions are as follows:
NOTE: This will work on vista providing you have followed the Vista RUU guide HERE or HERE
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 WM6TornadoALPHA.zip then run ROMUpdateUtility.exe in the RUU folder.
9. Wait while it flashes your device
10. Install the extras you want in the 'extra stuff' folder, I recommend you install comm manager, task manager and xT9 as these solve most of the WiFi and T9 icon issues people are expericencing
11. Done

Unlock your phone first, then use SPV-Services to change the cid.
See SDA Application Unlock and SPV-Services in the attachments.

was just testing out to see if i can connect via teratermpro.
and it seems i cant. ? :s
Shot at 2007-07-16
Shot at 2007-07-16
fixed the issue seems that tertermpro tools doesnt seem to connect or work for me.
so i used mytt 142.exe application
Turn off the phone and disconnect USB
Press Camera button and holding it insert USB connector (or holding Camera button press Power button for 1-2 seconds).
When "Need an UI (0)?" appears on the screen press [0] immediately. You will see tricolor screen, in the blue zone there will be "Typhoon IU" message, if you see "Typhoon XIP" you were late to press [0], start from beginning.
Run mtty1.42.exe from archive, choose [USB], press Enter and you will see a prompt.

Will this method work if I don't want to SuperCID as my warranty is not over yet?
"Here is how I got the rom to install without the devauth error.
1) use a hex editor on the rom file and search for the devauth.exe string e.g. 44 00 65 00 76 00 41 00
2) between the "devauth" and the "exe" you will see the hex "00 2e".
3) swap these bytes around so they are "2e 00" instead of "00 2e".
4) This will keep te same checksum but will not allow the devauth.exe to run. well it work in my case at least"
Hope it works

Hello

The Rom Will Be Posted In The First Page When It Is Ready, Now They Are Just Packing The Rom, So Please Be Patient

i heard that super cid doesn't work with internet explorer 7, is that true?I set cid=111111111 and when i enter in spv_services again it shows me the old cid

All the technical details you'd like

Here's the thread for tech details. No questions in this thread, please.
My input:
Rooting the Rogers Dream
Download the tools required
Extract to anywhere on your computer.
Place update.zip on the root of your sd card.
Reboot the device into SPL (power off, hold camera button, boot, press "back" or "send" [check prompt on device] to enter "FASTBOOT" instead of "HBOOT")
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Apply update, wait until phone idles, press HOME+BACK, it will reboot, finish writing hboot, then reboot again into recovery by itself. Do not interrupt it at all until it's done.
HOME+BACK to reboot into regular device.
Power off, hold camera, boot, go back into FASTBOOT
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Code:
fastboot reboot
that's it!
Rooting the HTC Magic / Sapphire: http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Magic_Rooting
Developer notes (for devs and rom builders):
Dev's (cyanogen, i'm looking at you [you requested this info ]) you can download my hacked up mkbootimg and some other tools here: http://www.mediafire.com/?njl4x5ozldm
these are all baked up by me in a flurry of rush and etc, so excuse the sloppiness
You will have 2 tools to use now, compileboot and compilebootmagic.
compileboot creates a regular g1 boot img (and the vodafone magic as well supports these old boot locations)
compilebootmagic has 2 options.
compilebootmagic -1 will create an image supported by the HTC Dream (rogers), all new magic devices, and most likely the hero and etc (these new locations are based on ram size pretty much)
compilebootmagic -2 will create an image with user supplied arguments (it says dream but disregard it, i made it before finding out the new codes matched -1)
Discovering new boot locations!
This is a fun (and easy) bit.
Just grab a boot.img from the device you'd like to learn about, and follow the chart below:
Code:
0xf-0xc (backwards): kernel addr
0x17-0x14 (backwards): ramdisk addr
0x1f-0x1c (backwards): second addr
0x23-0x20 (backwards): tags addr
you can also use this script (linux users):
Code:
#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
function bootloc($file) {
$handle = fopen($file, 'rb');
$data = stream_get_contents($handle);
fclose($handle);
$text = "";
for($a = 0; $a < 8; $a++) {
$text .= $data[$a];
}
if($text == "ANDROID!") {
$out = sprintf("Kernel addr : 0x%02x%02x%02x%02x", ord($data[hexdec('f')]), ord($data[hexdec('e')]), ord($data[hexdec('d')]), ord($data[hexdec('c')]))."\n";
$out .= sprintf("Ramdisk addr: 0x%02x%02x%02x%02x", ord($data[hexdec('17')]), ord($data[hexdec('16')]), ord($data[hexdec('15')]), ord($data[hexdec('14')]))."\n";
$out .= sprintf("Second addr : 0x%02x%02x%02x%02x", ord($data[hexdec('1f')]), ord($data[hexdec('1e')]), ord($data[hexdec('1d')]), ord($data[hexdec('1c')]))."\n";
$out .= sprintf("tags addr : 0x%02x%02x%02x%02x", ord($data[hexdec('23')]), ord($data[hexdec('22')]), ord($data[hexdec('21')]), ord($data[hexdec('20')]))."\n";
return $out;
} else {
return false;
}
}
if($argc < 2) {
echo "Usage:\n";
echo $argv[0]." <img file/s>\n";
echo "example:\n";
echo $argv[0]." boot.img boot-new.img recovery.img recovery-new.img\n";
} else {
for($a = 1; $a < $argc; $a++) {
$out = bootloc($argv[$a]);
if($out) {
echo $argv[$a],":\n";
echo $out;
} else {
echo $argv[$a]," is not a boot/recovery img!\n";
}
}
}
usage: bootlocations.php <boot.img, more than one can be supplied>
example: bootlocations.php boot.img boot-new.img
NOTE: i will try to keep adding to this until it's full. any information that isn't in here, feel free to request via pm.

Reserved for future postings

Once again, great work Haykuro

Okay, I see the trickery now.
Thanks for this info, I'll build a version of CM for Rogers later

Another thing.. Does this device use the same libhtc_ril.so as the G1 ROM and/or does it need different RIL properties in build.prop? I am thinking it does because of the different radio, but I've only seen G1 "ports" of the ROM.

lol the g1 ports of the rom never changed the lib much (if not at all [do an md5sum ;P])
the phone is practically identical to ours, aside some physical things (crystals, etc)

thx for the tools
cheers

Thanks again Haykuro! This is great information.

thank you for this! Hopefully intructions on how to root the mytouch will come soon!

Tried to make a version of CM-3.6 for the Rogers Dream and it isn't booting according to the testers.. Doesn't even get adbd started.
I set the boot.img up properly.
Code:
Kernel addr : 0x19208000
Ramdisk addr: 0x1a200000
Second addr : 0x1a100000
tags addr : 0x19200100
Something else has to be different, or that device hates my kernel.
EDIT:
Haykuro sent me the kernel config from a running Dream device, and there are some options enabled in it that aren't part of any Linux kernel.
CONFIG_MSM_AMSS_SUPPORT_256MB_EBI1=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_MSM7K=y
So we are going to need whatever they patched in to be able to build custom kernels. Interestingly, the device is also using cpufreq settings of 384MHz/528MHz by default.

Great job haykuro, but ive been hearing reports that you cannot flash any rom (only rogers based roms) Any news on this? Thanks again!

I commend your turn around, Steve, and am quite impressed.

That is my stumbling block too. It's not just those two options, config diff is quite significant. I've sent a couple of emails to htc kernel devs a few weeks ago, but got no response. HTC must release the patched source, though, to comply with GPL2. I'm not sure what's be the best way to persuade them to.

Can't ender code in SPL
Once I boot into SPL how do I enter the code. nothing happens when I press the keys on my keyboard.

Wow this was pretty dead and you just revived it from its slumber among the dead.
Theres no code to enter
You have to install once you get a custom rec.

through adb

ok.. I am getting closer to understanding this!
But, still no luck.
I downloaded this file
http://sapphire-port-dream.googlecode.com/files/spl-signed.zip
then saved it to my SD card and renamed it to update.zip
Then I do this
Reboot the device into SPL (power off, hold camera button, boot, press "back" or "send" [check prompt on device] to enter "FASTBOOT" instead of "HBOOT")
and nothing happens.. any ideas?

You install .zip things like that, like the SPL and new roms in the recovery mode, not bootloader. You'll start up with home + power to get to that.
However, given that you don't know this yet, I'd spend a *lot* more time getting comfortable with the whole flashing roms/messing with your phone stuff before installing that SPL, that's a pretty good way to brick your phone if you don't know a bit more about what you're doing.

Sorry for necro posting, i'm new to the whole rooting thing. My phone info is:
Firmware: 1.5
Baseband Version: 62.59S.20.23U_3.22.26.17
Kernel Version: 2.6.27-d5acf552
Build Number: 1.89.631.1 146733 CL#94714
I have a rogers HTC dream for Canada.
What files do i exactly need, and once acquiring them I just follow the instructions in the first post?

problem unlock by code

hi
I wan t to unlock HTC touch Pro
so i decided to buy a code for this phone .....
the problem is that the phone doesn t recognize the code i upload a video to Youtube to the seller see that i wasn t cheating.....
now
my question is the phone is locked to 26806 on portugal and i have upgraded to the latest Rom version that i download from htc and try again to put the code that i buy and i get always wrong code.....
is possible that the operator put difrent codes that unlockers cannot calculate????
is possible to unlock by other method ?????
you can find my video if you search on youtube by ----HTC touch pro - code dosen t work-
since i can t pos link s ...

try here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328221

Long story short-unlock codes don't always work. Don't try to enter it too many times, or you can be locked out of the device. Just run the unlocker, it works every time. Kiss your original 20 bucks good-bye.

unlock dosen t work
tank s for reply but that unlock don t work ...
don t appear nothing ....
it runs normaly and the txt inside the folder open but nothing more apear....
any idea??
i have istutils inside the folder windows on the device ....
i get this on istutils.txt on the device....
ERROR: DeviceIoControl(1, FL_IOCTL_BDK_OPERATION, BDK_INIT_READ, start=0, size=0x40000) - A device attached to the system is not functioning.

The unlocker in the link is for the HTC Touch (Elf) not the Touch Pro.
You will need to use the unlocking service from imei-check.co.uk or Olipros version of this method, both options are not free but will fully unlock your device.

you don t see my first post
since I already bought a code and did not work !!!
i lost money already !!!
what guarantees do I have to turn to buy a code !!!
it will run ,???

Just buy olipro's unlocker, it's guaranteed to work, unless you screw it up.

Mymind said:
you not see my first post

Yes, I see your post & read it correctly.
The unlock method by IMEI check & Olipro do not use code as you purchased before, they use a patched radio & software to unlock.
These mothods will work 100% & IMEI check would refund if you fail to unlock.
More on Olipro unlock can be found in the Touch Pro wiki I expect.

[Q] Troubleshooting random reboots

Hi all,
I'm quite new in the Android debugging. (please save your thoughts on my screenname. I don't know anything about android development at all)
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (model: GT-P5110 w/ cpu: armeabi-v7a and android release: 4.0.3)
This device is Rooted.
It's irritating that out of nowhere my device reboots randomly. (but not often)
I never turn off my device, so every now and then, these reboots appear.
I searched the logs with Log Viewer and aLogcat BUT neither of them show any unusual information of the random reboots.
Digging more on the Internet, I found there are two places to look into for reboots:
1.- Look into /dev/kmsg (which is currently with 0 bytes)
2.- Look for a file called last_kmsg (found on /proc)
So I went into file "last_kmsg" and found parts which got me wondering:
SA_PH_CFG_VBATLOWV = 0x80
PHOENIX_LAST_TURNOFF_STS = 0x3
init_ddi_data: usable ddi data.
MSV already was fused : 0xf000ff00
------------------ERR result : 0x1---------

boot_kernel: debug level low!
checkbit: find RECOVERY
checkbit (60749f8b)
Starting kernel at 0x81808000...
What do they mean?
Unfortunately, I've never done any formal course on Android Development so it's quite bulky to search the web for this.
All I get is code and code, from various people on the Net, and technical answers regarding memory dumps.
But nothing is really an answer.
Please help!. I've had this issue for months and just today I finally found something that could be of use, but my knowledge is too little in this subject.
Note:
I have attached : last_kmsg and my basic device information (from logcat)
