Heya,
the first thing i would recommend is the Kaiser Wiki - there are a lot of useful informations for you and all important links for that device.
There are two versions of installers - desktop installers which you start on your computer (xp, vista or what ever...) they will be installed via active sync on your device. The other ones are cabs (i prefer them because i don't want useless files on my desktop computer), these files are meant to run on your PDA,
just copy the cab to your device, locate it with file explorer and click - the setup will start. In the Hermes wiki is a little description about CAB-files, maybe also useful for you (btw: Hermes isn't your PDA, you're device is Kaiser...! )

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.

Pvplayer-for XDA mini?

I have my device from O2, so got no pvplayer on it.Download from 'pvplayer.com'-is not possible because is a copyrighted file that Orange devices include.So how to get it?I hope somone got an idea because i really need it.I think there is a version for Pc too!
I remember a thread a while ago that was discussing how to avoid installing these "first boot" progs, it mentioned that you reset the handset at a certain point through the setup, the handset then wont install the cabs and it will just leave them in the memory somewhere, I need to find someone who has / is prepared (M500 for example) to do this and copy the .cabs to a computer who could send me the right cab, and hey presto.
Thanks...

Help a new owner out...

I really did search and can not find some very basic answers to some questions. Just got the Fuze and its my first WM phone.
What is the best way to back up this phone to my pc?
I have tried Windows mobile center, but for some reason cant check contacts. I also tried Sprite, but it seems I have to first download a program to my pc????
How do I download an app from my pc to it???? (is a cab the same thing as an app)?
When Im synced to my pc, how do I disconnect???? It doesnt show up in my safely remove hardware icon?
Dont worry... I wont even think about ROM stuff yet!
I appreciate any help...
Some EXE installs you install to your computer while the phone is synced and once its complete it will install to your phone. Cab files are the install's that you copy to the phone and run on the phone itself.
What all are you backing up? If you want a straight image I believe there is a quick tutorial around in the flashing hard SPL threads. Theres also a backup utility in the program's folder of the phone, I have not used it or done any backup yet so I cant say how easy either is.
To back up your contacts why not just sync the phone with outlook and have them copied over that way?

Thanks for the response..
When I copy a cab file to the phone (im using file management... is that what I should be using????), which folder should I drop it in.
My main concern is contacts, but for some reason it wont allow me to check that box???
you can click on the link on my tag for a tutorial
just load the cab on the device, it'll install.
if you just want your contacts, sync it with wmdc it'll put your contacts in outlook (your outlook needs to have been configured for use)

please help its f*** abusing me :|
ps. ive got HTC raphael
MOD EDIT: MESSAGE PARTIALLY REMOVED, THIS IS A WARNING: PLACE NICE OR YOU WILL BE SENT ON A VACATION FROM XDA
But to answer your question directly, no, you can't install PC software on a WinMo device.
@emesbe
FIRST OF ALL FLAMING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED IN THE Q&A SECTION
@rossari0
no you cannot load programs designed for windows vista or windows xp on your ppc it is a differen operating system.
Some progams like the sims are available in a different version for your ppc. You will just need to do a search for what you are looking for. Here is a link to a freeware site to which you can download some apps for your phone (i can assure you though that diablo isn't on the list )
My apologies. It will not happen again.
oops. wrong post.

HTC SYnc Windows 2003 Drivers

Greets all,
Mod, Sorry if this is in the wrong place, please move if need be, I did a search cause I was having trouble installed the drivers for the HTC Sync for the android, and since I was able to manage to get it installed, I thought if anyone else wasnt able to or if it wasnt found yet, I got it working for the HD2 "Motoman234 EVO Carbon Remix" Android.
Now it shouldnt matter and should work on all Androids but had to throw that in there just in case.
This is for Windows 2003 server (Instructions), but should work on other OS's:
1) Download the newest HTC Sync: 3.0.5481.
2) Run the installer, it will load many things as a requirement.
3) 2 Installer will fail: Windows Media Runtime 11 & USB Drivers. On both it will ask you if you want to continue to install, say yes.
4)Once installed, connect your phone, Windows will locate it and say new hardware found "ADB" Do not allow windows to search for the driverss, it wont find them, instead download the file from my post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9719661&postcount=2
5)Unzip the folder, and make windows look in that folder, it might ask you if you should install it, say yes, once installed, your HTC Sync is fully functional to sync whatever you want.
Hope this helps anyone having trouble with Windows 2003, or any other version. And if this was solved already, my apologies, just trying to help.
I've been looking for 2003 drivers ever since I got my HTC Desire back in March. Will give this a go later and see how I get on.
I can confirm that the above procedure works fine. Many thanks
thanks you very much
good, I try and success!
good! I try and success. thanks a lot!
My pleasure, glad to be of help
You are amaizing,,,,, thank you very much... You saved me from installing new o/s
thank you once again
