you have q to have much taken care for that many people complain to have used view to upgrade the omnia. him but insurance is to make it for xp. if you don't have it in your computer I recommend you that you use that of a friend for but security. yours and that of your pocket.

Rom Update
Hiya,
The rom update only works on win xp machines as to why it said download xp modem drivers. It will not work on vista. When you run it on xp operating system, you connect the device then soft reset the device then the start button will become active. Just click start and bobs you uncle....

Age of Empires, Need For Speed, other old pda games

Hi,
Trying to install these games, but didnt had luck succeeding.
As Example, I Install Age Of Empires via pc (running aoe.exe), after this InstallShield setup pops up, everythings cool, setup completes and then, by default, ActiveSync Add/Remove programs pops up, and by default it would show the message "see your device screen for aditional information installing the program"...But it doesn't! It just shows installed programs, like in normal "remove programs" option, and also, no signs of installing any kind of programs on my device too.
Dont know what's the problem, of course these games are mainly built for WM5 (Im running WM6), they're pretty old, but strange thing, I got Worms, which are same old as these, to work!
If this is useful, my device is SE Xperia X1, Windows version 6 (as mentioned before)

windows install exes are often just selfextracting zip files you can try to rename it
to zip and see if you can open it and just copy out the cab file yourself
or do a search of your pc hd like the install dir of the pda program
as there is always a cab file somewhere
transfer it to your pda and run it from there and see if it helps

Well tried to do it as you said, err..Still no effect.
You see, actually when I run the setup, and it says it's succesfully installed, I see no sign of files on my xperia, storage card program files/ device itself, it just doesnt transfer any files (or .cab's) to my device.
Btw, renamed .setup to .zip , you were right - its just a compressed file

As you see, 3 .cab's, whose, I guess, must be installed with setup..
Anyway, no success here
Maybe there is another way?

Can't flash my HTC Polaris with Windows 7 64bit

I have been trying to flash my HTC polaris with the updated HTC 6.1 Rom and it is not possible. It would seem that Windows 7 64 drops the connection with the phone when it goes into Boot mode and it does not recognize it.
I am using Windows 7 and Windows Mobile device center. This is what happens, I connect my Polaris with the USB cable It connects and syncs. Then I run the HTC ROM flashing program I click through all the questions and get to the point where I accept flashing my ROM once I do this my Polaris goes into ROM flashing mode showing the red green and blue screen. Then I hear Windows sound as if I had unplugged the device the computer screen shoes the progress bar but nothing happens and then it gives me a message saying Error 260 and tells me to check the connection.
I tried running hard SPL first but it gives me a similar problem when I get the message to unplug the USB cable.
When I check the device manager this is what I get:
{

}
Hope you can help me I am tired of using the original ROM.

Bump
Please help me out

You should really ask this in the Polaris subforum if you want help, not the General subforum. Though it sounds like you need to install the proper drivers for your device. I'd try putting it in the bootloader, hooking it up via USB, and attempting to get the driver from Windows Update (with the Update Driver function). I've flashed my Kaiser and Rhodium on Win7 64-bit and haven't run into any problems, and the situation seems like it's a driver issue.

Have you tried on win XP? in case you have any...

You'll need to downgrade your usb drivers using this guide

This looks like it would take care of, are there any drawbacks about downgrading?
Am I better off just finding a computer with windows xp?

rooting garmin asus a50..noob style

hi,im a noob to android and my first step into the pool is the garmin asus a50..
yesterday i decided to root the phone
i installed a file manager
i installed titanium back up and ran it
i installed z4root and rooted
i installed super user
i installed root explorer.
all went well until i started deleting all the optus bloatwear,facebook ciao etc
i did a reboot of the fone and a msg came up stating a google file couldnt be opened,apart from that all was well..
so i decided i needed a restore to start again,i couldnt work out how to restore from titanium so i did a master reset and reinstalled the software off the garmin site..
i want to try this again...this time ill just root and root explore.
has anyone got any tips or ideas for me..
where i went wrong before etc
cheers

guys whats happening? lol
everybody is ruining the bastard. ha ha
mine is broken too, a50, i rooted the damn brick with faulty app, then it got slow and unstable, so i did the master reset, wow. now a virus warning stacks on the screen after start up and pin code, saying the battery cover is open and ask for restart, crazy retarded.
so it doesnt let me to do anything.
I need to install the ROM via USB plug, anyone got an idea if it works? Im actually mushroom, so I need to know which Rom is good, like 2.1 update works? and can pour the rom into its chip using USB cable?and if yes, how should I do it.

Plug the phone into the wall or computer.
power it off.
Hold the D-Pad left while powering the phone back on.
"Wipe Userdata" should appear on the screen. Let go, and let it run.
It will restore the phone to factory settings, including all software.

adb cant find 4g Adas Mirror, any help pls.

Hi!
This is my first post here, I hope I won't make many mistakes and troubles...
A friend of mine asked me to help him with his car Android based mirror.
The mirror is a "4G Adas Mirror" which is now stucked on the boot screen/logo.
Android version on the device is 8.1.
I've tried to reset through the hard reset button, without success.
I tried to connect the device on my PC to try to get access with adb, no success.
Adb cant see the device, the device list is empty.
When I check in the device manager on my PC I can see under "Portable Devices" installed,
with the name "MTP USB Device".
I also downloaded several drivers but can't install them, not for my device.
And now I'm out of ideas.
If somebody have any idea what could I still try to bring back the device into live, I would really appreciate.
Thank you.
Btw.:
My PC is running win10 x64 Pro

You're probably stuck with only the MTP interface (and not a composite device with MTP and ADB) but it might be worthwhile to double check.
Is the MTP interface active? Can you see any files in Windows File Explorer?
You can check with UsbView.exe to see if there is only one interface, the MTP.
The next step is to try various buttons on boot to see if you can get to recovery, fastboot or ROM bootloader.

Thanks for the fast replay, I cant access the device throug any file manager, as you mentioned, I checked with UsbView.exe already, just to be sure.
The MTP is active.
I've tried many many times the switch combination with the reset button, to try to get into any recovery or whatever cmd line mode, but without success.
The device hase only two buttons:
1. Power button
2. Reset button

Well, there's many ways to skin a cat.
If you open it up there could be a UART with a rooted hardware console.
There could be pushbuttons or test points to get into some other mode.
Good photos will tell us.

So, here we are....
the mirror crashed until I tried to open it.
However, if somebody is interested to hack and poke around this device, I'm familiar to open the device,
make schematics, pictures and try to hack into the device to try to make it alive again.
If somebody is willing to be a part to this pls. let me know and let's get started.

Open it up and take photos.

I'm trying and searching for a way how to open it but not fully crack the mirror, which is actually also a monitor...
I hope I will open the device soo and be back...
