Hi guys...Ive "moved" a Kaiser Rom over to Wings, boots fine, but now i stuck with a SIM DOOR Message, and i cant locate this issue.
Can anybody help me? Ive tried different ROMS and RADIOS in combination, but this annoying SIMDOOR message appears everytime....
why not use a ROM thats actually made for your phone....
there might be a reg fix but i doubt it
Because i want PRO.
I want to use PPL (a pocketPC programming language) with my phone, but only "PRO" offers some higly needed OS related Controlelements.
Sure a PRO OS on Smartphones maybe a new and "useless" trend, but some of us (SmartPhone and PPC Enthusiastics) need more "Performance".
A PRO OS works well on Standart-Phones, and its always used on many SmartPhones like Startrak and Tornado, there are Projekts on Vox and Breeze,too...
Anyway, i need help.
Ive only 10 seconds after the Phone boots,not enought time to check Registrychanges during the Todayscreen appears.
No one?Nobody here can tell me which Procedure is for this SIMDOOR?
...or anybody can give me a regdump
Hello,
I'm new on this forum, and first of all I must say that I am amazed by things I saw.
Now, the question:
CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO CHANGE MY WINDOWS MOBILE ON MY QTEK 9000?
The thing is, I got it as a gift, and considering that its my first WM PDA (I used only symbian and Linux PDAs and never WM for longer period then few days tests).
Now, problem is because it is on French (and I don't know a single word on French) so I need to change it back to English.
I would be really greatfull to you if you could tell me what programs I need to download and install (post a links for them if possible) and which ROM is best.
It is 18 months old so batery isn't very good (I havent tested it yet because I can not operate it on French ) so please take that as a option when you propose me something.
Also, I will use it mostly as a communicator for internet access (GPRS and WiFi) e-mails, chat programs and less for calls and messages so take that as a option too.
All I need is a communicator which can provide me access to my mails and internet and manage to last one day ona one batery charge (I mostly use GPRS, I know that WiFi uses more power)
Once more, THANK YOU and I hope that someone of you will help me to meke this beauty runabe for me.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_ROM_Upgrade
And I would recomend THIS rom. Be aware WM 6.x doesn't have a fully working video call though. So if thats your thing then stick to WM 5.0. Otherwise WM 6.0 is streets ahead. One last tip is read the Universal WiKi well first, it saves a ton of questions later.
Have fun
Jay
P.S. welcome to the forum
Thank you all... but I've been reading aboru this bleck edition ROM and I see lot of people are complaining on it (especialy on BT, WiFi and GPRS which is important to me)
So please put me a link to a normal clean ROM (WM5 od WM6 I don't care as long as it is reliable and debugged, manufacturers ROMs also if you have)
Hiya's, I found this site while looking up info on the HTC cruise as I have just received a hand-me-down Cruise from a friend (had a very old nokia..). This is a major upgrade for me (it has a 2 camera's unlike my nokia which has none). I am keen to get the most use from the phone as possible and at the moment it seems to be going ok but having read a couple of the forum messages it seems that there are various upgrades that can make it a better phone.
I have been accused of being a semi-ludite when it comes to using technology so would appreciate any advice on what can be upgraded as far as the operating system and other programs are concerned. I have used the CoPilot program this morning and think is is the greatest thing since individually sliced and packaged cheese..
The settings on the phone indicate it is ROM 1.26.710.1 WWE (date 12/17/2007), Radio Version 1.58.21.23 and Protocol Version 25.65.30.04H.
If any advice is forthcoming, please keep things as simple as possible or I will have to get one of my neighbors kids to come over and explain..
Cheers
Ian
Welcome to the wonderful world of a touchscreen windows mobile device.
Of course there are a lot of things you can improve, thousands of programs are waiting to be installed and so on.
IMHO the most important thing is: If you are satisfied with your current system DO NOT change it. If everything is running smooth there is no need to flash a new operating system or radio. If you notice slowdowns during using the device or if the radio in your area is not running perfect you should flash the latest upgrade from HTC. They are offering WM 6.1 (WM = windows mobile, the operating system) and a new radio. Its very easy to flash but you will loose all your data on the device.
If you don't like your today screen, you can check some replacements, Mobile Shell is one of it:
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pocketpc-software/mobileshell
And if you like this shell you can change its look with upgrades like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3904948&postcount=2513
Of course you can flash one of the Roms created by one of the devs. You will find an overview here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521961
But you should be aware that many of these roms are using stuff from other devices like Manilla, this might cause problems. And you have to be very careful if flash a self created rom, its not that easy like flashing an original HTC rom.
Last but not least you have to think about the way you want to use your device. If you just need a phone you need nothing else. If you want to read ebooks like wikipedia you need a reader and so on. Here you can find tons of programs for your device:
http://www.handango.com/homepage/Homepage.jsp?storeId=2218
You will also find a lot of freeware apps here:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/
And a very important thing is: Backup your device often if you are trying different applications, you are having a windows device
For a list of recommended software check my signature.
All are freeware except iGO, and easily found on this forums (or links from here lead to authors pages).
And welcome to Polaris owners club...
Thanks very much for the replies..
It seems to be going ok at the moment. I am not too sure whether it is slow or not (nothing to compare..) but opening an application only takes a couple of seconds so I am happy with that. I have been using it primarily as a phone (of course) but have been using the camera like mad. I even made one of my friends give me a video call..very cool...I have tried to use the voice commander application but it doesn't seem to want to do anything and eventually just says "Goodbye" and closes. I am going to look at the list of applications at some of the website that are list above and see what is available.
Cheers and thanks again..

Hi,
I have this Samsung Black Jack (aka SGH-i601). Now I spend lot of time to find where I can download Windows Mobile 6.1 OS from and didn't get any good impression on my results. Almost all links I found does not work or none of them knows any steps how to use the patch.
I'd appreciate if anyone can invest some time and tell me the proper URL of the firmware and steps how to install that.
In exactly the same boat... searched for hours trying to find a decent upgrade but only found dead ends or software that didn't work. The Australian Samsung website doesn't have an upgrade available, American one does but it is for the SGH-i607 and I was worried it might cause ISP issues.
Even when I did download the upgrade for the i607 it was asking for some [ID] & [Key]???
Can anyone assist with an upgrade that works on the SGH-i601 please?
you should look for at www.zn520.com
if not - the only thing we can do - is to make a custom build of samsung i600 WM 6.5
I fixed my problem doing a Hard Reset and uninstalling the Palm Translator software pt-BR. So, I'm still using 6.1 and I'm very happy with it.
Guys,
I'm in desperate mode on. It has been two days I updated my treo 750 to wm. 6.1 ( Treo750_OS5_2_19199WWE_STD). Everything went just fine. The system is nice and all. A little bit faster than the old 6.0.
But then the nightmare started: My "Notes" and "Task Manager" are there but don't work! I put Network frame 3.5... but nothing happened.
These are the two app I most use! I know there is a lot of other apps but I wanna use these ones that came with the wm.
I have two choices: downgrade to wm 6.0 or fix this issues. I've been without sleep for two days 'cause every procedure I try to downgrade fails! I tried this one ( Treo750_2_27_ROW_EN_DesktopUpdater) but it says "you already have a newer version installed". And yes, I tried changing the payloads archive.
I tried Cheetah Unlocker, SD card method but nothing happens, just the three color screen saying serial or usb. It also says:
CHEE100
IPL-0.20
CHEE100
SPL-1.40.OliNex
The info about my phone is:
Windows Mobile 6 Professional (the start screen says 6.1 Professional)
CE OS 5.2.19199 (Build 19199.1.0.0)
Software Version: TREO750-2.27-RWE
Firmware version: 1.12.0c.00
CC-CAP: GEN-ENG-010
I also tried T750URT but it does nothing but getting my firmware to 1.12.0c.00.
I took the 6.0 rom from here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335402
Are them really 6.0? I took the "Generic Rest-of-world - English"
Please guys help me. I've been searching over here and other forums and I just can't make it work. I chose this forum to subscribe and post 'cause it looks like the more expert. What am I doing wrong? I got this phone last weekend and I'm pretty new to this HTC world. My first smartphone! I live in Brazil and everything, even my 3G connection was working on the 6.0. This device came from USA 1 year ago and the last owner (my friend) just put the portuguese-br translator and used it.
I think I'm not forgetting any information. Thanks in advance. Going to try to sleep.

I'm using the same rom and the two app. work fine.
After search in the internet I found this link for rom 6.0
http://depositfiles.com/ru/files/1336491
but first check what is wrong with the 6.1 rom ...
One more thing - there are softwares that you can download and do the same job even better...( replace "Notes" and "Task Manager")...
one more link for rom 6
http://rapidshare.com/files/173145556/Treo750_2.23_ROW_WM6.rar
My 6.1 ROM is working superbly, +some registry edits to speed it up even more! It's more likely, that something went wrong in the flashing process. Just try again the same 6.1...
Thanks!
Thank you all for your words. You won't believe what happened.

This morning I was in classroom and I had a crazy idea. I pressed the red button (to end calls) and reset at the same time and erased all the data. Guess what? Everything is working fine! But I sure remember about doing this same reset stuff after upgrading. Anyway, I didn't put the translator to PT-BR yet. I'll try now and if anything goes wrong, I'll just reset it again and leave in English. English wouldn't be a problem to me as you see. I'm thinking about my wife (she's still learning English).
I wanna thank you both 'cause I just gave it a try after reading that you were not having problems with the same phone. Thanks for your time and patience.

Is this safe? I mean, editing registries to get a faster wm? Can you tell me which mods or just point the link about what you did? Thanks again.
By editing the registry you can customize a lot of stuff (for me replacing left soft key's permanent "e-mail" to SMS was a must. Now under "SMS" I have a submenu containing "e-mail" AND "messaging"), also disable a lot of useless windows mobile features, or enable (power management - longer lasting battery).
To some extent it's completely harmless, just try to avoid experimenting with it too much! There are a lot of instructions on the web, most common keywords used for search are "windows mobile registry hacks" or "pocket pc registry edits". It's best to add the version number (WM 6.1 for example) when searching. Also don't confuse your Treo 750 with Windows Mobile Smartphones - they don't have a touchscreen and those run a different type of Windows Mobile. It's almost the same, however there are some differences...
Most of the older WM regedits will work on 6.1. Also Treo has some Palm-specific registers. Just for starters, here's a link:
http://pocketnow.com/wiki/Windows_Mobile_6.1_Registry_Edits#Power
Wish you luck and hope you'll help to keep the 750 alive in this forum! Post your success afterwards.
I found it!
I found the problem. After doing all the customization and testing all the apps, I installed the translator Pt-BR from Palm's site. Guess what? All the apps I mentioned before stopped working. I did the uninstall process and guess what again? Everything was in English again and most important: working!
So this is the trick: don't use Palm Translator (at least pt-BR) if you are using a non-official wm6.1 rom.
The guy who sold me this Treo has the Treo Pro 850 now. Such a nice device, but 750 was my first pocket pc and I won't forget about that.
Gotta change the post title to resolved lol. But don't lock it yet. Maybe someone else may has a experience to share with us.
