How do i convert Stock T-Mobile to O2 Equivalent

I have searched read and looked all over the board.
The problem very specific.
I have a stock MDA Compact with the T-Mobile Software installed.
I want to convert the phone to its O2 equivalent with all the bells and whistles.
Whats the best way to go about this?
Is there a UK O2 rom i can simply upgrade the unit with?
What extended Rom software do i install?
Thanks.

Backup your important data, hard reset your phone, and let the phone have its OS reinstalled. As you just finished the security (pin) setup page, soft reset your device (e.g. when it pop up a window saying that it will install etc etc software).
Get the O2 ROM from the xda-dev ftp, and install everything in the Exetended ROM, and you should have your O2 eqv.

I got the files from the ftp yes. Unfortunately the Extended rom is read only, how do i edit the attributes?
i can also install from an SD card, but i want to have these files permanently in the ext rom.
thanks again Hanmin

You should execute the O2 cabs from your sd-card. Or permanently flash you rom with the O2 rom to get them in your ext-rom. The ext-rom is read only & can only be written by flashing your rom or turning it into BIG Storage. To flash your rom to O2 you need MAUgradeUT_noid & the description from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade
Regards, M

Doh, of course how could i forget, the very definition of ROM, read only.
Well i executed the Autorun from the SD Card, but its installed all the T-Mobile stuff again, (which still resides on the ROM).
I would execute the cabs individually from the sd but im not sure which are meant to be installed for my network.
After a few errors running the upgrade previously your instructions have now worked.
albeit i had to put the phone in bootloader mode after step 5 and before step 6

I want to replace the tmobile rom with an O2 set of files (an O2 ROM?).
How do i go about this? ( ie Keep the ext_rom )
I gather its the same as flashing a big storage ROM to the phone excepts the nbf will have the O2 files i want instead?
Thank you all for your time

is there a way to revert from a new rom back to the factory rom... if i didnt back it up to begin with. i have a xda mini s and i upgraded and now i want the old rom back.. is it possible? and how?

It's only possible if you find a dumped rom or a shipped-rom which is the version as the one you had before. Maybe your provider has a shipped-rom on its web-site? Or take a look at the ftp and maybe you're lucky to find one. If you find a shipped-rom it's easy, connect via usb & start the exe file. If you've got a dumped rom you need to change the header of the downloaded with your own device's header, write everything to sd & have the bootloader update the rom.

The have the autorun starting files on sd, you need to edit it a little. It got hard-coded path & filenames and some instructions to prevent userinput (thus locking the keys & keyboard).

Now you got me puzzled. Do you want the O2 CE-rom or just the ext-rom & keep the TMO network settings? Cause the CE-rom isn't much different for all providers, it's the ext-rom that does the customizing & changes the network settings.
So if you want an O2 ext-rom with TMO network settings I suggest you first write down your TMO settings for gprs, voicemail, mms & sms & then flash it to O2. You might even try to update the ext-rom only. It's possible to update to radio by supplying the radio.nbf only to the romupdateso I think it's possible to update the ext-rom by itself too. Can't remember the nbf name, but nk.nbf is your CE-rom & that makes only one left, isn't it.
You can use WinCECabmanager (10 trial executions) to see what's in all those cab-files.
Good luck to all of you, M

I think frantyk meant that he wants to keep the original t-mobile (mda compact) ROM while installing the customization (ext rom), such that the 'OS' is relatively the same while having O2 stuff in it.
Anyway, I think if you downloaded the correct O2 ext rom, you can install everything one-by-one manually, it shouldn't give any conflict. I'm not sure why, when you run Autorun, it install t-mobile stuff, probably the autorun is pointing to the ext rom.
You can unlock the the wizard ext rom unlocking cab, delete everything in your ext rom (MAKE A BACKUP FIRST), and copy the O2 stuff in. You should able to 'lock' the ext rom back in place. Then hard reset your device, you should have everything, including O2 stuff installed. I unlocked my ext rom before, but I can't remember if this is the one I used. --- IMPORTANT --- I've unlocked my ext rom with this cab before, but my device is a HTC Charmer, which is very compatible with Wizard. I'm NOT SURE IF IT WORKS ON MAGICIAN. You may want to look around the forum to find a ext unlocker for Magician, just to be safe.

The Magician ext-rom can't be unlocked, only flashed or turned into BIG Storage. Though I think you can flash the ext-rom only, the safest way it to flash the whole rom with an O2 shipped-rom. This will be the only way to get the correct ext-rom being executed after a hard-reset. Indeed the autorun contains a path & is unusable from sd without changes.
BTW not many people want the O2 stuff, I guess it's about network settings only. Which are on the web too, can't remember where :-(
M

What i want is the Standard CE software (ie no branding what so ever) which i think i have achieved with in flashing the phone with Shipped ROM WWE_11300_550_11200 - although it has the Qtek boot logo.
Im also using some of the Cabs from Extended Rom O2Mini_WWE_1.11.922
Why does this Ext_Rom not have and network auto config for O2 UK? Where can i get and Auto config cab for UK O2?
I want to use the phone mainly with an O2 Sim card, so i need al the O2 settings for GPRS and that, 2nd priority is having the T-Mobile GPRS settings cab for when i occasionally change chips but this is less essential that the O2 settings.
What does WWE stand for? My guess was XXEuropean?
Thanks

OK, unbranded CE is either the mentioned QTEK or any BIG Storage rom. Don't worry about the splash that can changed very easily.
WWE means World Wide English.
The network settings can be found here http://www.cctvsafe.com/support/phone_settings.htm
Cheers, M

hey.. what ports do you use for proxy, if you do use one..

WM5 Memory Map

Hi guys (and gals)
First, thanks to c_shekhar for the Himalaya WM5 roms. Top Job
I'm quite new to WM5 and it has taken a little while for me to work out
how the XDA memory usage has changed from older PocketPC versions.
I thought I'd share how I think it looks for others, like me, who are using WM5
for the first time, thanks to the great ROMS on this site.
I've probably got bits of this wrong. Feel free to correct me
1st we need to understand what memory is in an XDAII:
128MB RAM (non-volatile after soft reset | volatile after hard reset)
32MB Flash ROM - Integrated with CPU (non-volatile after soft or hard reset)
32MB Flash ROM - Disk On Chip (DOC) (non-volatile after soft or hard reset) *
* All or part of this will get formatted if you select YES on the FORMAT STORAGE option on hard reset on WM5
The 32MB DOC Flash Rom is divided into two 16MB partitions by default:
Half goes to extROM
Half goes to persistant storage
Pre WM5 the memory map looked like this:
PRE WM5 - MEMORY MAP
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
...................| Storage (Installed Program Files, My Docs etc
128MB RAM.| Programs (running apps)
...................| Pocket PC OS (i.e. running state)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
32MB Flash / CPU..| System ROM (i.e. where the ROM .nbf goes) (/Windows folder?)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
16MB Flash DOC.| extROM (hidden by default. Contains vendor specific apps / hard reset - system startup)
16MB Flash DOC.| Persistant Storage (/Storage folder on pre WM5)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pre WM5 pocketPC versions allowed you to dynamically select the amount
of (non-persistant) storage / Program space via the memory applet. Obviously
a hard reset would lose any programs installed into this RAM area of memory. Also the file system had a /Storage folder so you knew where to put impotant files that a hard reset wouldn't wipe out.
Things have all changed with WM5. Thus: (Based on c_shekhar 3.50a ROM)
WM5 - MEMORY MAP
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
...................| 37MB Programs (running apps)
...................| 40MB RAMDisk Storage (Non persistant storage /RAMdisk folder)
128MB RAM.| 24MB PagePool (PocketPC OS Cache ares (?))
...................| 27MB Pocket PC OS (i.e. running state)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
32MB Flash / CPU | System ROM (i.e. where the ROM .nbf goes) (/Windows folder?)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
16MB Flash DOC.| extROM (hidden by default. Contains vendor specific apps / hard reset - system startup)
16MB Flash DOC.| Persistant Storage (14MB Formatted space)**
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
** WM5 no longer has a /Storage folder. Now /My Document /Program Files etc
reside in this persistant area
Obviously one benefit to this re-arrangement is that a hard reset does not wipe
out your installed program, assuming you don't FORMAT STORAGE in the WM5 hard reset screen.
If you are using c_shekhar's ROM then the extROM area is not used. In fact its
probably is sitting there invisible to you with the old pre WM5 vendor apps wasting space. There are tools to make this 16MB partition visible and merge it into the existing 16MB DOC partition to give you 32MB of persistant storage.
Instructions >here<
To check how much storage space you have:
Start>>Settings>>System Tab>>Memory
Storage Total will be circa 14.60MB for standard Install
Storage Total will be circa 30.53MB for merged extROM modification
There are also ways to change the size of the PagePool and RAMdisk but they are not discussed here. Search for c_shekhar + PagePool + RAMdisk
I hope this has been helpful

very helpful indeed
thanks for all the research

Sorry to ask you silly questions... I am a newbie about PDA. And I stil didn't understand clearly concerning why extROM exist in PDA.
1. What is the real function extROM ?
2. I read from your writing, If I used c_shekhar rom it means extROM doesn't have any function anymore. Is it true ?
3. What are the risks if I merge extROM to storage ?
I hope you would like to be kind to explained this for me.

...again I could be wrong here, and c_shekhar would know more about his ROM, but I think the general idea was:
1. XDA Manufacturer (i.e. HTC) provides main system ROM i.e. the pocketpc OS
2. The network supplier, or distributer (e.g. O2) provide the extROM ROM
Then when you hard boot the OS loads and autoruns and installs the branded
applications from the extROM to give you a clean branded install after a hard boot.
The extROM is readonly and invisible so you don't mess it up and can always
get back to the standard installation O2 or other supplier provided in the box.
My understanding is it is only used during a hard boot to install branded apps.
If you decide to install a ROM like c_shekhar's then he installs all the software
you need into the main system ROM. He doesn't use extROM to provide any
other applications that would install on a hard boot. In fact I assume he
takes out any call to the autorun in extROM which is why there are no app loads
when you hard boot his ROMs.
So you have a choice. Leave extROM alone and let 16MB of nonvolatile flash
rom sit there with O2 apps you'll probably never use again. Or, merge it into
the 16MB of storage space and get circa 32mb or storage.
There are always risks from flashing a pda device and messing about with flash
memory, especially from a non-official source. But then there are huge benefits from
c_shekhar providing us with a fantastic WM5 ROM that we otherwise wouldn't
have.
Hope this is correct and helpful.

Wrong thread to be asking in. But SD slot works ok on my XDA with 3.50a.40CS
I'd suggest you go back to an official ROM version and verify its not a hardware fault.

Good Sutdy and informations for the newbees. appriciations for sawyer_family. There exists the autorun program for installing the third party S/Ws and configurations at the time of hard reset developed by buzz. But, I have not provided it in the ROM. It can install the S/Ws and configurations from the resrve space into the RAM just like it used to be with the ExtROM. Here the advantage is that ExtROM can be placed on the Storage card. Like I am using it on my device to install the third party S/Ws and all the stuff at the time of hard reset. I have placed all these stuff in folder called "Storage Card/ExtROM". May be I provide it in my next release If people require. ......

PDAVIET slow ???

hello,
i installed PDAVIET with 1.14 radio rom, BUT : my pocket became very
slow. with spb pocket plus and sbp dairy avv ram is only 12-13 mb. any ideas why ???
i am with PDAVIET rom 2.01.08PV, radio 1.14 ext rom 1.30.176 and my ram memory is not over 13mb why ???? please help me. whats the meaning: ext rom: unlocked ??? 10x in advance

* try to disable the plugins, check if that speeds up the device.
* Check if you have the latest updates for the programs you mentioned.
Ext. Rom Unlocked means you can use the extra space, about 10MB, for your own files, instead of ROM only files.
Eelco

re
i use the latest versions of sbp dairy 2 and spb pocket plus 3. another apps which i use are: aek keybord and resco kbd. thats all. after soft reset memory is about 25mb, after launching and closing some apps - like PIE, expolorer etc... memory decrease to 10-12mb and cant increase anymore. also i tried to use hibernate app, but it makes around 800-900kb free mem.
please help ? what to do ?
and how to unlock my ext rom ???
10x in advance friends

The 2.01.08 PV ROM is the fastest Crossbow ROM I've ever used , what's the version are you using ?

[ROM][WWE] HTC Touch Official 6.1 ROM - ALMOST [Tabish ROM v3.3.6.1]

My Latest Official Flavour Rom
Tabish Rom v3.3.6.1 is here. The OS core is based on an extract and port from latest official HTC release (Opal ROM) which is closest to the HTC Touch sys folder. Base ROM remains 2.20.456.1B for OEM part which is the latest HTC rom for Elfs. This ensures 0 bugs, fast stable Rom which is VERY much what an official HTC Touch WM6.1 Rom would have looked like had they released one for us. Ofcourse mine would still have the advantage of being BIG STORAGE
Features/Updates from Tabish v2.x to v3.3.6.1 Rom
1. Wm6.1 (19971 Base from OPAL)
2. Esmertec JBed updated to 20080610.2.1
3. Default Pagepool to be Elf and Elfin friendly (though dsixda's EXCELLENT PP changer attached)
4. Task Manager updated to 2.1
5. HTC Random Access for contacts added.
Changes included from 3.3.6.1
6. .NETCF 3.5 (upgraded from 2.0) (Some people swear speed improvement, plus compatibility with new programs like Adavanced Config 3.x)
7. Bluetooth Activesync problem fixed
8. MSN connection fixed
9. Full Cities list (or atleast I think this is most complete list available)
I have also now included RUU files with download for people who are new to this.
PAGEPOOL and Memory
Rom is released with default 8mb PP setting but dsixda's excellent universal PP Changer is attached. I would like to give a disclaimer at this point that though the PP Changer works well with the ROM but I am NOT responsible for any damage caused by using the PP changer or my ROM for that matter.
Rom works very fast and very stable with 4mb PP with Elfs. Memory after first boot is as follows (for Elf with the default 8mb PP)
Storage
=======
Total: 47.94mb
In Use: 6.26mb
Free: 41.68mb
Program
=======
Total: 47.65mb
In Use: 25.44mb
Free: 22.21mb
But program memory quickly drops to
In Use: 28.39mb
Free: 19.26mb
after Cube is loaded in memory.
If you want more, you should shift to 4mb Pagepool but memory management for this build is very good and I have included the task manager screenshot below that shows 91% memory used while Audio manager, JBed, IE, SMS, connection manager and File explorer were open. For the record I was listening to a song, connected over wifi, downloading Opera Mini 4.1 on PIE and running Opera 4.1 on Jbed which was browsing facebook. I had the threaded SMS open and so was connection manager and file explorer (and ofcourse the screen capture program was in memory) AND cube was loaded n memory and I still had about 4mb free AND all this with the 8mb PP so you can imagine how it would be with 4mb PP.
Recommendations and Misc.
I strongly recommend installing the excellent IPL 2.27 and USPL 2.28 by htctouchp with this ROM. Its also recommended that you softboot and restart the phone once after first install before using it full time (works best after 1 normal restart)
Also I have attached a cab file for those who want to disable thread sms feature for whatever reasons.
Discussions, comments for this Rom starts on Page 10
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397739&page=10
DOWNLOAD & DONATION
Before you download and install the Rom think that if HTC offered an Official Wm6.1 upgrage for $5 for our HTC Elf/Elfins would you get it? What about $1? If yes, consider making a contribution for my work after you have tested and used the ROM because this is as close to an HTC Official Wm6.1 Rom as anyone could hope to get for our Elf/Elfins (and countless hours went into this)

What kind of memory leak are you talking about? How long until you run out of memory?
When I reset it in bootloader mode it says SPL 1.11.0000 - Am I concerned with this possible leak?
I know that memory tends to diminish in time, but since I installed the auto-hibernate tool, it's better (even though it still runs down).

Zeflash if you have 1.11 SPL then you are probably using the 1.11.707 version rom which does not include the new keypad etc or one of the cooked roms.
Memory runs down on all Pocket PCs but with the new 2.20 series there was a leak where the memory would disappear for no reason till it got to low memory warning in matter of seconds specially after opening IE.
This ROM is intended for people who want the original ROM feeling, speed and stability with the new keypad included and want additional storage over the measly 25 mb offered by original Roms and are sick of the memory problems.
Regards

Ok.
Just a note, I believe it's quite anormal to provide a SPL in a cooked ROM. Usually it's only the system segment, sometimes the radio is included. Anyway. I'm fine with my SPL.

The older SPL is the actual fix for the 2.20 Roms and thats why its included with my original Rom and seperately for those who dont want to reflash the whole OS but want to get rid of the memory problem can just flash the SPL part that I have uploaded

For all those who try please give feedback

Would really appreciate if you could mention the details of available RAM and storage after using your ROM. I use an ELF.

Free: 44.13mb
Program:

After leaving it on for DAYS it runs down to 19.81 mb but I can easily launch Audio manager playing mp3s over bluetooth stereo, Wifi connected running IE and Opera mini 4.1 in Cloudyfa's Esmertec JBed and still have a 1-2 megs ram free...

good work i get the same RAM config using the old 1.17.. ROM the touch Diamond keyboard. But will try your ROM have been long waiting for a good original ROM.

Thanks, very nice work, i am using ShadoW_2.1 WWE and after aplaying PP 4 mb Psgepool

I gess it suits for me.
One thing, can i flash fimmware to my htc if i have Mac OS X? Cuz i dont know how. Or in Server 2008 i simply dont have active stink.

pagepool change to 4mb. works fine to my elf. with 21mb free program for stable.
note: i have installed some games(4 games) with apps like opera, diamond keyboard, srs wow, mobile nero, htc stream & wisbar advance 3.

Cloudyfa is one of the most talented cooks EVER so of course his work is VERY good. This rom is more for people who like original roms. This is an original rom just with ext.rom removed for big storage and patched spl to fix memory leak experienced on Elf with the 2.20.xxx Elf/Elfin Roms

I prefer 6mb PP cuz I think it works faster than 4mb PP for things like touch scrolling through programs etc. And I like HTC keypad better than the diamond keyboard. But whatver you prefer, I am just glad you are using my ROM

Yeah original roms ROCK in terms of speed and stability. This SPL fix can also be used with the Australian Official HTC 2.20.710.2B ROM or any other 2.20.xxx Elf/Elfin ROM for that matter but if you get sick of running out of STORAGE memory as well, flash my full rom which is exactly like the original rom with just 1 difference that it will have 40+ mb free and if you miss the programs in ext.rom then ZIP is attached with ext.rom included cabs

Thank you so much. This is totally original ROM flavour with no add-ins. Tell me how it works out for you. For all those who dont like ROM's original midlet manager, I am attaching here Cloudyfa's excellent Esmertec JBed that seems to work without hitch on all platform roms I have tried

Will try on G3 and G4 and let you know tomorrow or Friday.
I will try G3 first then G4 so that one phone always has a known good ROM.

G3 Results and ROM Review
Installed successfully on G3.
First impression: a good and fast naked 6.1 ROM.
No connection wizard, but after I hand-entered my GPRS settings it worked fine.
No .NET compact framework, I installed 3.5, and was able to run apps like Advanced Configuration.
TrueFFS filesystem works!
I have been waiting a long time for this!
After installation without SIM Card:
44.89MB Storage free; 30.80 MB Program free
After reset: 45.73 & 31.76 (without SIM)
After reset: 45.58 & 30.95 (with SIM)
Applications:
ActiveSync
Calendar
Camera
Comm Manager
Contacts
File Explorer
Pocket Internet Explorer
Internet Sharing
Messaging (SMS and Email, no MMS)
Notes
Phone
Pictures & Videos
Task Manager
Tasks
Windows Media
AltTab
Smartskey
(Did I miss anything?)
I will keep this for a few days at least, and report on its stability.
I am using HTC Home Screen, to keep things simple.
Tomorrow expect a report on the G4: I am curious to see how the Extended ROM works on that model.
Thanks for cooking.

Thanks, I know that it works on the G3. Not responsible for damage by flash on G4!
PLEASE DON'T FLASH ON G4. You can brick you'r device!

Okay, I won't try on G4.
The experience on my G3 has been quite good. The ROM is minimal but stable, fast, with plenty of RAM. I have loaded it with many apps, switched to threaded SMS, etc, and it still has over 20M free ram. My only complaint is a matter of personal taste: I really like the finger scrolling that comes with Windows Mobile 6.5 and some of the TouchFlo 6.1 ROMs.
But I will keep this on my G3 for a while.

Hi,
I can not download it from rapidshare, "limit reached" ...
Please give an other download link .
Thanks

Is write-access to Ext-ROM realy working? How did you do it?
Why not flashing to a G4 Wizard? Is IPL/SPL included?

this rom had abilities to brick G4 devices since to unlocked ExtROM.
yes, read-write ExtROM is working really great, but only on G3. I have in this cabs

Flashing a selfmade Ext-ROM and unhiding an EXT-ROM is no problem for a G4 device. I did it more then once and never had a problem. (Information that a G4-Save ROM must not have an Ext-ROM are wrong! IPL/SPL must not be included!)
Is unlocking (write access) realy a problem for a G4? Did anyone test it?
Can anyone provide information on how to unlock the Ext-ROM or do I have to flash this ROM to check the reg-keys for my self?

Once again please ...
New download link please ...
Thanks in advance ...

It's tested. ROM for G4 with write access is *NOT ENFORCEABLE* for simple cooker (like me), may be for person from HTC with Wizard's source code for Platform Builder. In this rom ExtROM, IPL/SPL are not included. But after flash into G4.. you device are bricked in 50%..
1. On G4 after flash, you Wizard stay on 2nd screen (IPL/SPL/GSM/OS).
2. After reflash OTHER WORKING ROM, device stays on 3rd screen (welcomehead), you don't can calibrate screen, but system after delete "welcome.lnk" from statup working without touch (like smartphone with pro rom)!
on G3 works very good.
of course, it's amazing.. i don't know how to repair this

Please release this ROM again
I was one of the ten to get this experimental ROM, and it was quite good.
Now, alas, I have lost my copy.
Ham3r, could you please release this again, perhaps after fixing anything you didn't like the first time? Put "G3" in the title so we don't mess up G4 phones.
I installed several applications onto the extrom, including spb mobile shell, and saw no problems with reading or writing. I don't know how the read and write speeds compare with normal internal flash. It would be good to know that, to better decide what to install in what area.
Also, can the same TrueFFS driver be used in WM6.5?

I cooking new rom (with office, games..). Speed of internal and extrom is the same (extrom is on internal flash yet, but is on seperated partition). Driver is the same for Internal and ExtROM. I tested WM 6.5 with unlocked ExtROM, works "so good!"
btw. my roms are on my 4shared: http://www.4shared.com/dir/11060505/134ad87f/sharing.html
