Crossbow for Apache!?!

Hello Everyone,
I was just wondering if someone was actually putting an effort at porting crossbow to the 6700?
Thanks,
Ken

That would be awsome!!

Oh I sure hope they do. I wish I knew how to do it so I could.

Help...
Hi everyone...
I try to make an update to my Alltel PPC6700 but apparently the ROM was not the indicated one (Crossbow) and now single it remains ignited the light of the flash.
I have removed the battery, I have done reset, soft reset, hard reset and nothing…
I just got a black screen and the light of the flash all along ignited, and when I execute the RUU always says that there is no communication.
Somebody can help me?

Try hard resetting and reflashing. I tried the same rom with the same exact results. I was able to reflash with the stock rom. Be sure to go back to boot screen.

I am currently learning to write the ROM's for my Cingular 8125. Just need to know what the diffrence is between the Apache and the Wizard. Anyone got a clue? or maybe a Rom that I can work with to see.

I would love to have this also for my xv6700...

its a shame how all the other htc got upgrades to crossbow but not the apache

People PLEASE!!! This is being worked on. It may happen. It may not. You must be patient. When there are updates you will be publically notified. Don't expect anything and if you do get something be happy you did.
CHILL PLEASE!!! Everyone knows we want WM6 for Apache.

I'm working on it guys. Please be patient. It's still a ways off.

Just curious what "a ways off" is? A few weeks, few months, most likely never? I am patient, but simply wonder what- off the top of your head knowing the workload at hand- the rough estimated term might be.
Thanx

Too many variables to say.

i def. cant wait

Thank you for the work XDA developers... I anxiously await for this update...

Crossbow/WM6 for Apache
I have the Verizon XV6700 - which I guess is the same thing.
I'd be willing to donate to whoever provides the upgrade.
Maybe others would too to pay for the time it takes?

Can I use 6.1 ROMs on my Kaiser?

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if I can use the 6.1 ROMs on my Kaiser or am I limited to 6.0 ROMs?
I tried to download the Windows Mobile 6.1 upgrade from HTC but when I enter my Serial No. it says its unsuitable for my phone.
I bought it on ebay and its full of rubbish and seems heavily tampered and has lots of querky things going on - so I thought I would just flash it with one of your ROMs. I don't want to 'brick' it if 6.1 is incompatible. I have spent days reading the (astoundingly detailed) FAQ's but, maybe 'cos I'm dumb and don't understand the difference between ROM and OS, I'm worried I will trash the phone if HTC say its incompatible.
I'm rambling now because what I don't really know is whether A ROM includes OS or sits on top of OS.
Regards,
JN

You can, of course, use 6.1 roms on your kaiser. I suggest you just go to the kaiser section, read a bit, and find yourself a nice ROM.. the kaiser section is flooded with ROMs.. and good ones

Thanks for replying. I found several posts today from people who have trouble with screen touch alignment and wondered if there was a hardware incompatibility with some Kaiser's and WM 6.1. Also, I found the answer to my question about ROMs and OS in Q1 of the Kaiser ROM Flashing FAQ which I had already read but obviously not taken in.
I shall give one a try then.
Many thanks,

I'd suggest giving a few.. until you get it right

LOL
Ok then. What are the chances of totalling the phone? Mind You, I've got to the point where if I junk it I won't care too much. So I shall just have some fun.
Thanks for the reassurance and advice.

You should be able to hard reset if everything fails...which should save you in the worst case situation... I beleive though from reading up on it if you unlock your phone with HARDSPL it is supposed to stop you from being able to brick your phone

First of all, try try a few roms without spling more than once, find the hardspl guide for kaiser in the kaiser forum and hardspl it so you can flash as many roms as you like.
afterwards, just start flashing roms. bricking a device isn't that common if you do things properly. make sure all roms you flash are meant for kaiser..

Thanks again for the help and advice, which I have followed - I've applied HARDSPL as recommended. I've only had a chance to apply one ROM so far (AtheneOS WWE) which looks fantastic IMHO but I have what seems like a radio problem as I have no sound. So I shall have a go now at different radios I suppose? That's what most of the replies to posts seem to suggest for lack of sound after flashing. Its easier than I thought this lark - I can see this may be habit forming though
Great stuff you guys .
JN

Another Happy (rom) Flasher!

lol. go ahead and enjoy flashing.

Question about applying the 6.5 rom

First if anything i ask has already been posted, im sorry, im actualy doing this from my phone
I have an htc fuze and interested in applying one of the 6.5 roms that i have found on this site, some of which are specific for the fuze, yea for me. My problem is i am very computer savey but the instructions for these roms hav a diff laungage like "cooking" and "kitchen." Is there simple instructions or can someone create some instructions that break it down to a 2nd grade level? i would say 4th or 5th grade level but most of them these days r smarter then me.
next question, i'm not affraid to play around, this is why i want to do it but if i don't like 6.5 or if something go's wrong, how easy or hard is it to go back to the original rom?
thanks

We need to Declare boycott on Htc Magic

I bought my Htc Magic in Hong kong last August.
I paid for it more than $620 (usd) after I found that the seller tried to cheat me.
I root it and my last rom was MyHero 2.0.5 with Official SenceUI on HTC Kernel 2.6.27 and it allmost worked perfect in my languge.
After that on 17/11/09 when some guys here where "happy to annonce" about the official senes upgrade I did it and since then I'm stuck with a piece of ***** and I'm gonna loose my money after I lost some days of work and 4 sleepless nights.
I feel like somebody rapped me because I can't even downgrade to the rom version I hade when I bought my Htc Magic.
It makes me sad because if HTC wouldn't release us I don't know if I'll ever buy any machine from theme again.
see:
Power to the people - the boycott as a democratic action

I think you're being a bit extreme... I own the HTC Magic and I'd gladly buy another if I broke this one...
There are methods to downgrade your HTC Magic back to the MyHero ROM. I upgraded to the Official HTC image and downgraded back to CyanogenMod in the same night with no troubles at all. Have you even tried the goldcard method? Have you done any research and reading?
And besides, crap like this belongs in the General forum where nobody will read it anyway.

Sounds like you're over reacting completely.
Instead of complaining about something that may, or may not, be HTC's fault you could try explaining your problem properly and seeing if anyone can help you fix it.

It is HTC's fault, as they made it almost impossible for us to get rid of the perfect SPL, as they should listen to us! and let us to do what the.... we want with our phone!
The perfect SPL he is talking about is not breakable for now! nobodey can do anything about it not even GOOGLE!
XDA is here because of the leak of support from HTC from the first place , it always has been and will be HTC's fault when people here get stuck with this kind of ****!
I will start making a dialogue with htc on Tweeter later today , we should show what we want.
My proposal is ==> let thous who want, register their phone on HTC.com and loose their warranty for ever and then let them have a S-Off spl so they can do whatever they want with their phones.

A: Its your fault its "broken"
B: What do you define as broken?
C: Can you fastboot it, ADB it.... anything??
D: post some info and we can maybe help you fix it.
E: Post in the proper place.
F: You can't boycott a product everyone loves, and even when the few break it, they buy a new one or have HTC warranty fix it (paid or not)
Z: Post some info, and we can maybe help you fix it.
J: Post some info, and we can maybe help you fix it.
P.S
I know this is going to come up, but please don't blame bad English on not being able to get/request help.. if you spent 6**(usd) on it, paying 10 usd to a friend to help you properly translate it, would be worth it IMHO.

It is NOT HTC's fault!
Can you imagine if they made it easy for every idiot on the street to install the wrong image on their phone and then send it back for warranty?
They use a 'perfected' SPL in order to protect their warranty department and their proprietary software and hardware. If you want a completely open platform then you shouldn't have bought an HTC phone.
Now really, if you don't want the perfected SPL, then DO SOME READING!!! There are instructions on this very forum on how to create a GoldCard that will allow you to flash an older HTC RUU that does not have the perfected SPL. I know because I tried the RUU that you're running on your phones and I'm now running CyanogenMod 4.2.5 with SPL 1.33.2010 and a custom recovery image.
Quit the *****ing, do some reading, and shut up already!

regardless of what you think, it is your fault, you made every decision to "HACK" the "known working" software and thus broke it.

This will, be exactly what we (people with rooted, death spl bla bla bla) have. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that what ADP2 is for??

did you nandroid back up before you flashed the new rom? Why not just flash over the current rom that you have. Doesn't sound like your problem is that extreme. Can''t see why your having a problem. Any alteration of the OS that came with the phone would be your fault for changing that. But if you were smart enough to root and flash a custom rom, you should be able to get yourself out of this. Unless, someone did it for you. In that case. Hold them responsible. Good luck. I'm sure your not happy with this advice

Lol, angry opinionated poster FTW. Probably should have used an XDA dev's senseUI ROM instead then shouldn't he, as his previous ROM was working so well.
XDA is here to offer choice and because some people enjoy customising their devices - you then have the majority of HTC Magic users who wouldn't know what an SPL was if it hit them in the face, and are perfectly happy with their official sense ROM from HTC.
It's a matter of perspective, and yours and the OP's seem to be rather slanted. Have fun enlightening HTC about their wrong doing, but you're not making a very strong point here as you know the risks of flashing your phone - maybe he should have read up about perfect SPLs before he flashed his device.
Good luck

And if the OP would have waited a couple hours after seeing the Official update posted, he would have noticed that somebody very quickly deduced that the HTC update would install the 'Perfected' SPL.
You can't blame anyone else for your impatience and ignorance.

I Have the official HK sense rom 32A and I need help

sorry for my English.
i didn't breack the phone it works fine.
the problem is that I can't put my languge, as a lot of people here.
I spent all my time in reading and aearching s solution.
see as an exampale in the first post in this forum:
"right the SPL obviously doesnt like remote writing of the recovery, dont worry trying this wont **** up your device. i was trying to achieve what the oneclick root method does which basically just writes a recovery to the device to bypass the SPL but, it obviously wont allow remote flashing through ADB. il be back today to include the flashrec.apk within the rooting method unless i quickly devise a script to run off the device to flash the recovery ..... il be back
I apologise for this people i am on it. i just dont have a device with a perfected SPL to test it myself.

With a perfect SPL, not really. That thread you "quoted" from is your best bet if the goldcard method doesn't work on this SPL. redmc said he would be working on it, so worth a shot if you're really that screwed.
Or maybe send Amon_ra a well written PM asking if he knows a solution using a goldcard.

Nice guy nice baby you behave as a baby (baby face)
How i can know all this that i canoot root is as the original rom.
Isn't it an "open code"

That made very little sense to me. redmc is working on a way of breaking perfect SPLs with his Relentless Rooter software - so wait and see.
Android is open source, but this isn't the OS you're having an issue with, it's the SPL.

Using goldcard

I'd say good luck, but I've got the feeling any amount of luck will be of no use to you whatsoever..

Anyone here who flashes custom roms, but still tries the official HTC update is a complete idiot as far as i'm concerned as everyone here knows that HTC will most likely try to include a perfected SPL in their updates

Concerned X1 owner.

Hello,
I am new here, and this is my first post to this forum, but I am pretty sure that it won't be last.
First I would like to thanks everyone in this forum, specially those who are keep thigs going on, so big thanks.
This forum is giving a lot of information, what is impossible to find anywhere else.
So let's move to my question.
I have Xperia X1, and I also noticed, that it won't get official update to Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM, which is really, really bad.
There is a lot unofficial Cooked 6.5 ROMs here in XDA-Developers-forum, and most of them is looking really good and interesting choice to my X1.
So, how I can be sure, that Cooked ROMs aren't include anything bad, I mean virus, spyware, malware or something like that?
Thanks all ready to everyone!
EX1T

Please, comment.
Please, doesn't anyone have any comments about this case?
Thanks
EX1T

you can never be sure anything you find on the Internet don't include such things
but virus, spy/malware don't port stuff made for pc's don't work on pocketpc's
and the market for windows mobile is too tiny for them to bother making it
there are but a hand full of such things made to run on pda and those are more proof of concept then really harmful
you could ask yourself why would the cookers who are private people like you can me
add things from that handful to the roms they make ?

Thanks Rudegar!
I know, that PC-viruses doesn't work on Windows Mobile platform, but there is still "programs" that will do something what I don't wanna risky to my phone.
Do you know, that is there some kind of Antivirus-program wich I can scan my phone after it is flashed with cooked ROM?
I know that there are AV-programs to WM6.1-platform.
Thanks,
EX1T

Hi there,
As my friend above says, there is no threat from spyware, virus etc on PPC, the only one that i ever came across years ago actually asked you if you wanted to install it, obviosuly the reply was "no thanks". I seriosuly would not worry about it, there are many AV programms for our devices which are a total waste of your money.
All of the chefs on xda are cooking for the masses, if you read the threads you would obviously see someone reporting such a thing. In my years here i have never seen such an incident happen.
Go ahead, read and flash to your hearts content. Always ensure when you can, that you have an official rom downloaded and ready should you have a bad flash or a bad experience

Thanks timmymarsh!
This makes me more comfortable to make cooked rom flash to my X1.
