Prophet AKU2.3 pdamobiz customized rom [G4 with SPL 2.15.0001]

I've installed Prophet AKU2.3 pdamobiz customized rom [G4!!, with SPL 2.15.0001] 16 MB version yesterday to try:
http://www.pdamobiz.com/show_news.asp?NewsID=68863
and it's AWESOME. The whole device is boosted up, so fast then never before! It's the best rom I've ever tried so far, honestly. Also movies, musics, all the menus and everything works fine, properly, without stack or any problem. It didn't need and CID unlock or anything, I had just to follow the instructions the program gave me.
The link above is in thai, but mainly the procedure is the following:
1. download the program (unrar it to the folder you want)
2. Backup all your important data from the Prophet
3. Run "Clear Storage" program on your device, wait for soft reset
4. Tap the screen once to get to the "Align" procedure, but stop here (cross will be shown in the middle)
4. attach your Prophet to the PC with active sync (cable!)
5. Cancel the Active sync recognizing procedure (anyway, Active Sync will establish the connection)
6. Now start the program from PC called "UPGRADE_ROM.bat"
7. Wait, give it the time to install ext.rom and everything
8. Hard reset your device (Push at a time: camera, conn.comm buttons and reset with the stylus, hold on on camera a connection button, then push the green phone button)
and it's done. The only disatvantage is that it installs a lot of quite unusuable program, too, but it's not annoying at all. If you install Spb pocket plus and Pocket informant, you're done, no need for these progs (more or less).

minor glitches
Is anybody out there wich gets a "can not ececute TimeWizard.exe" error?
My upgrade hanged before the second reboot, and everything looks OK but I keep getting this annoying error.
The file is missing in the Windows directory. What is this suppossed to do?
Any help?
?

What can I do to translate this Rom into a german one? Or is a language Pack out there?

Isn't there an other link? PDAMobiz is to slow... ...downloaden for hours!

Serious help needed

hi all.
I am in serious trouble and i need help. i realized i did not have outlook, thus my contacts are all gone.
I had tried to update my software earlier by installing some .cab file. It was a file for my HTC home. The installation was 'successful', however after i did a reset ( they prompt me to ) i could not boot up my phone. It get hanged once it got to my wallpaper, and i cant tap or press anything. The htc home screen also does not come out.
=(
any kind souls?

So something is hanging right after windows boots... did you try to install HTC Home to a storage card? Try booting with the storage card out.

thanks for the prompt reply. i tried, however it never seems to work. I am using a HTC TYTN ii. running on windows 6.1
I did install it on a storage card. i tried means like switching on without memory card, sim card and did a million resets, but it doesnt seem to work.. =(
Actually i install the HTC Home was because the message counter on the HTC Home got screwed up. it showed 1 unread no although i had all messages read. but anyway, for now, tht's not my main concern.. =(
thanks all in advance ..

I guess I do not understand all of your issues besides the freezing at boot.
A hard reset should be an option, if you're ok with that... and then for the future, use sprite and pim backup to make sure you don't lose too much data.
Try searching the forum for threads like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320689
What caused you to lose your contacts?

my contacts are all saved in the phone, and it wasnt back up cause i am not using microsoft outlook.. and lets say i want to do a hard reset, how to do it?
and how do i do a soft reset with my phone.

Is there anyway that i can actually do a SAFE mode boot up? but my phone keeps getting hanged at start up. i dunno if its because it cant bring up a pin enter mode where I need to key in my pin each time i boot up.

0) What version of ROM were you using?
HTC TYTN ii
1) Applications installed when it happened
HTC HOME (old version ) i d/led and used HTC Diamond home, then it got screwed up cause the unread messages kept showing 1, although all messages were read. i thus wanted to reinstall the HTC home.
2) Radio ROM version (2.19.21, 2.47.21, etc...)
NONE
3) Device model (dopod 818, imate etc...)
HTC TYTN II
4) Device version (G3 or G4)
Windows 6.1?
5) How long it was since last hard reset (1 day,6 hours, etc..)
I never did a hard reset. how do i do it
6) Approx how many soft resets you already made (1-5, 5-10 10-15, etc...)
Soft refers to poking the reset button, would be more than 20 times after this issue
7) Approx how many shutdowns you already made (holding power button for 4+ seconds)
more than 10 times.
8) any other significant info you think will help:
My contacts are not saved syn with my com as i do not have windows outlook.
9) Do you have the HTC Homeplug today plugin enabled?
10) have you populated your PIM apps via pimbackup or via activesync?
11) Do you have the "HTC_default" today theme enabled?
yes.
for now, i cant boot up. the screen will hang at my wallpaper. i cant seem to press or click anything after that. My pin start up prompt does not apear too. please help =(
depressed ivy.

Sorry, but I'm pretty sure you need an app to use safe mode. You might need to loose your contacts, but don't give up... research and you might find an answer.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=The%20Safe%20Mode%20Bible
And if you've already tried booting without a sim and storage card, you might need to hard reset, which is easy enough after reading the wiki.
e.g. press both softkeys while resetting, or you could even flash a new rom via sd card by naming the .nbh file KAISIMG.nbh and putting it on your storage card root directory.
Read the wiki before you make any decisions and good luck, good news is your phone sounds like it's fine, just install a safe mode program next time.

Hi. I did research like wht you adviced, i managed to log into bootloader mode, i downloaded MTTY program and got my phone to the USB mode. I like to ask the following:
1) can i retrieve and save my contacts as i saved them all in my phone and none in my sim card?
2) Wht can i do next as I'm badly stuck at the HTC home page with only my wallpaper, i cant click on any buttons.
Thanks in advance to all.

I really hope that some GURUs here are able to help solve my terrible situation and i would really appreciate it. My contacts are all save in the phone and i need some help in retrieving it.
Thanks all.

At what exactly point does it freeze?
What is your radio version, it should appear after you turn on the device in red letters on the bottom right.
What is your SPL Version, you should be able to see it from the bootloader?

Hello friend. When I suggested research, I meant things like this...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2732337
I found this thread by clicking search in the top right to use google, and typed "save contacts" which if you've gone into MTTY research (be careful by the way) then you might be able to backup your data.

MY SPL : 3.29.0000
MY radio: 1.65.16.25
When i boot up, i suppose to have some password protect, to enter my pin before there is reception and stuff. For now, I can only see my wallpaper, the start button, contacts and calander buttons.However i cant touch on anything, it just simply hangs there.
SIM card and memory card are off. I tried SYNC, but it says cannot detect device.

By "SYNC" you mean active sync? Try an Actice sync re-install, maybe?
Sounds like this protect stuff is beggared.

i meant active sync, it says it cant detect my device. Is there anyway from MTTY, i cant retrieve my contacts?

All this actually happen after i installed .cab file the other day, and the installation was fine and i was prompt to restart. It hanged after that till date. sigh =( I'm desperate.

GURUs,
I cant get my device to go any further than hanging right at the wallpaper of HTC Home, the usb doenst recognize my device, so i cant enter or do any thing.
I just wish to retrieve my contacts now, and do a hard reset on my phone.
Thanks.

If you never saved your contacts from and to your sim card without any kind of backup from outlook or pim, etc. you might be ****e out of luck. Gone from a ****ty samsung to a equally ****ty razr, hermes, and now kaiser with the same sim...Always copy your contacts to the sim; or at least a Backup folder on your desktop or lap. flashing erases the main memory, which of course includes contacts. That's why we have a program called sim manager, to backup contacts everytime we erase our systems. Hope you find a workaround though, as a former Iphone owner, reinputting your contacts is a giant *****

sigh.. does tht means i'm so dead now? I did ever did a PPCPimBackup, but its stored in the phone memory too? any sort of help you can assist?

Possibly, I've tried to get hold of someone who might know, but it's looking grim.
Storage Card backups and Active Sync are the best way to backup.

Dead Prophet? Problem with flashing? This could help you!

Hi,
I just crashed my phopret. BUT due to some good ideas of user Users i solved my issue. I want to tell you how.
My history:
I already had the "update package" installed and used several WM 6.1 ROMs.
I love the Diamond rom from vincent. see link
Then i tried to flash my prophet with a rom for the charmer. Hm, bad. It crashed when it tried to restart. Anyway.
I tried to reanimate it. It failed. I stopped for that moment and started again a day after.
Now it runs again. Juhu. I tried every update , orginal ROM, Tera Term etc. But always the same issue:
Bootloader starts but only runs until info screen with the isp number etc.
"The Charmer rom erased everything so there was now Operating system at all."
Even the bootloader was not the original one with 3 colours and I was not able to connect to the PC because it stopped booting.
How to solve this issue:
Download the "Lazy Tool" from here
If you need additional info read this otherwise try it my way
Flashing Tool thread
1. Press Camera Button and Softreset (with stylus).
2. Remove ONLY the Stylus. --> Get the 3 Colour Screen.
3. Connect with Cable to the (this important) USb Port at your Mainboard (native ports).
4. Unpack it.
5. Run "Upgrade.bat" and keep the window opene in the Background
6. Go to "lib" and run the G3 or G4 "Rom update utility"
7. follow the introductions
Finish. You did it. Great job.
To get a good Rom.
Use the update utility and run after a reset the vincent rom.
BE ALWAYS AWARE THAT YOUR PROPHET IS CHARGED. Mine wasn´t once and i wondered why it always restarts again.
Some nice progs are:
Slide 2 View (Album like on the iphone)
Slide 2 Unlock (unlock like on the iphone)
Icontact (contacts like on the iphone)
Touch Response (get a vibration by pressing a button)
G Alarm (good alarm in the morning)
BT Remote (to remote powerpoint by bluetooth)
Thanks to everybody who develops nice tools like the "lazy tool" and shares his/her experiences with WM. Good job Friends.
Greatz,....

Screen broken Cant switch disk drive mode to activesync

Telus touch diamond
I need to do a full backup before I send the unit in to repair the screen, which is totally black.
The last time I used it was in disk drive mode, and now I can't change it back to activesync mode.
How can I switch the unit to activesync mode?
1. I've tried using the up/down wheel buttons on a working touch diamond, and it doesn't do anything on the activesync/disk drive popup menu when I plug the diamond into a PC.
2. There's no way to start the start menu using the hardware buttons, so I can't navigate to the settings that way.
3. I've never used remote control software, and I can't install it now - no screen.
4. Can I change a registry setting remotely?
5. Sending it to the states or overseas to somebody who can repair the screen without wiping it is an option, as long as they don't change the hardware. Telus doesn't allow foreign serial numbers on their network.

You can access the registry with CeRegeditor-but I'm not sure you'll be able to do it with disk drive mode selected. This is the reg key you want, but I am not sure you can do it yourself:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\USBtoPC]
"SyncMode"=dword:00000000
Here is a cab I made-maybe you can run it off your sd card. Good luck!

Thanks for helping.
CEregedit (or SRregedit) requires activesync running, so that won't work.
And I can copy your cab file to the internal storage on the diamond, but I have no way to run it.
This is harder than I thought it would be.

Ug, forgot you don't have an sd card. Does the internal memory support autorun? If so, create a folder on it called 2577, rename the cab autorun.exe and do a soft reset. It's a long shot, but maybe it will install automagically. Or, do you have mortscript on the phone? If so, I bet you could get the mortscript to autorun
RegWriteDWord("HKLM","\Software\OEM\USBtoPC","SyncMode",0)
Put that script in a text file, rename it autorun.exe and give it a shot.
Edit: You probably don't need the soft reset. When you disconnect from the usb, if the storage memory has an autorun function, it should occur then.

It looks like the internal memory does support autorun, without a soft reset.
I put the cab in 2577 and renamed it.
When I disconnect, there's a splink sound which I'm sure means a popup asking me to press OK in the top right corner or Accept/Continue in the bottom left corner, neither of which I can do. None of the hardware buttons are Enter/Continue buttons. I tried the dpad button anyway.
I don't think I ever installed mortscript, but I tried that too. Same sound, and it's still in disk drive mode.

The cab almost saved me (TP2 screen unresponsive). Able to launch it but still in "Disk Drive" mode afterwards (Touch Pro2) =(
I can run the Registry editor bundled with the NRG rom but can't navigate without screen to get the right key (or even enter one)... Could anyone transform this code in a cab file (without install confirmation) ? Thanks in advance

EDIT : I finally achieved making those registry values into a cab but can't install it successfully (errors in value/keys maybe),... Anyone can help provide the right thing to do to activate Activesync by default again ? Thanks
Or is there any way to put it in bootloader mode to reinstall with the former rom without activesync ? From sd card maybe ? please...

Can I use a custom wm6.5 rom instead of an official HTC rom

you can, if you use cotullas sspl

I'm back to wm (official htc rom), and I can not fix the satellites (from Sense 3.5)...solution?

If you turn off gps in android you also turn gps off in windows mobile. Sounds a bit weird I know. I had this problem too. Solution was to flash back to Android turn gps on and flash to windows mobile.

my GPS still stoned...

Copy Android r175 on SD card, boot windows, start Android from SD and enable gps in Android settings.

You have the chance - like me :fingers-crossed: - to kill the phone as seen above. In that moment, all "heavy" members are silence . Nobody (can) help.
The only way to have back your phone is pay money in service center ! So, be careful when you try this !

NOT WORK !

To be honest: there is always a risk in flashing phones or other things.
And there is always a case where the usual way don't work.
I flashed my HD mini 20 - 30 times WM <-> Android, i tried everything what's provided here and my phone is still fine.
One thing that i can read (and not only here in this subforum) is, that the following way can bring the phone back alive. But you have to use the correct RUU (from your carrier) and maybe a goldcard (don't know on what this depends, i never needed one):

Go to microsoft activesync "connection settings" and untick "allow usb connection". Boot your phone to 3 color screen. Connect your phone to computer via usb. Open mtty.exe and select usb connection. Click ok. If all is ok enter these 3 commands:

Boot again to 3 color screen. Open your favorite ruu instaler and install wince. Thats all.

My phone not detect satellites - gps is detected in iGo. It is another way to repair this without "flash back to Android" ?
Thank you for intervention.
LE: In that moment, i run this http://code.google.com/p/photon-android/wiki/Android_Installation_Tutorial from sd card. I enable gps in android and launch "Navigation" but it stuck in "searching for gps". I can ' t acces market to install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2&hl=en. How can i include GPS Status in android on sd card to see if my phone detect some satellites or not?

Maybe you have to play a little bit with GPS Settings: Put it on, see if it works, shut down phone, try GPS under WM 6.5, then start Android again, try GPS again (if it worked under WM), or put GPS off, restart phone and do this on and on again, as long as GPS is working under both (WM & Android).
I had also no GPS at first time and this way worked for me. But i know this can be annoying!

You also must remove it from your quote
You must allow in settings that you can install apps from another place as Google play.
You can install the apk by tapping it from a file manager like ES File Explorer.
