hi all
anyone know how to install WM6 on an I-Mate SP5 ?
I've tried this but always run into problems.
1) SPV-Services errors with -2146893818
2) lokiwiz errors with "could not update itsutils.dll"
I have confirmed that i have an active connect to activesync and can sync if needed.
please help !
well, i have had the sp5 rom on my 2125, and i am now running the wm6 va alpha.
either way, i had a lot of slow down issues with the beta version. if you get past the CID unlocking, install the alpha version instead.
also, are you getting that error when you click the CID Tool option?

I-Mate WM6 Installation
Hi, I installed WM6 on my SP5 yesterday and so far all is working well. I followed the instructions as set out on the link below with the exception of item number 10.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321408
Although i used the Perfect English version and not mobile 6 Beta, everything works as planned:
1. Flashed with WM6GSMUPDATE.zip
2. Used SPV-Sevices client and run the CID tool.
3. Disabled USB and entered bootload mode
4. Run TeraTermPro and edited as described in that post.
5. Flashed with Perfect English WM6 ROM
6. Downloaded the Short_AP1 ~ Short_AP4 and unzipped to /windows : http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=46839&d=1186790764
7. Soft Reset.
I had a problem with my contacts due to me not backing up correctly. DSF made a suggestion which has resolved the problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323136

Alex.

The problem is that the SPV-Sevices errors with -2146893818 so i can't superCID.
exactly what do i need to do with SPV-Sevices to SuperCID the phone ?
this is driving me nuts, i can't even update the ROM with WM6GSMUPDATE.zip, when i do, the ROM update utility goes through it's passes, the indicator progresses to 100% but when the phone reboots, it's still at ROM version 2.5.331.2.
nothing is working !

Hotsync your phone to your computer and run SDAUnlock. I hope it works for you.
After you upgrade to WM6 you will need to run one of the button fix files associated with the rom. Otherwise your contact and messaging buttons wont work.
whoops too slow tx karhoe
I got the same error when i tried to unlock using the application. Had to use the registry editor and set to entries, after that I could run the st servies app to super cix, then all worked well on my sp5. Bin running wm6 english since last week thursday.
Only prob i have is when my screen goes black, sometimes it actually goes white like when you activate the flashlight application. Also had to disable the light sensor as during the day it was making the screen so light that i couldnt see my screen.
application unlock, then supercid. that -2364527465 problem is the application unlock problem.

it says "the phone in not unlockable"
i even tried re-flashing with the latest I-Mate ROM and tried app unlocking, no deal.
I can't even see the reg entries in HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies..
What gives ?
Weird. All I did to unlock my phone was to run the attached executable file and it was done. I also have an imate sp5 so I don't know why it is different for you. Just to make sure I am attaching my file. So you can try with it. By the way, I guess your activesync connection must be on when you run this tool. But I am no expert. Just try once more.
Did you reboot your phone anot ?

this is hopeless... still can't unlock.
do you think it's due to the fact that i'm running the latest i-mate rom, version 2.5.331.2 ?

Dont give up! try these apps. Run the cab from your phone. I think the exe runs from your computer and installs through activesync. Hope you have some luck soon.

Because the ROM comes with no T9 or xT9.
You should install one of these and then add your languages if you need.

may be that. before I upgraded to wm6, I never installed a new rom on my imate. So I don't remember what the rom version was, but it wasn't the latest.
I flashed a new ROM on my fuze and after turning it on- it just gets stuck on the start screen! It says

Did you confirm it was un-locked? If you do not know what bootloader is you need to go the Wiki and definitely read up some more....you should not have flashed without reading that thoroughly....after enter bootloader and confirm if it is un-locked and then you can proceed...
Now i know all the stuff! I checked the bootloader and stuff i have a hard SPL and now im going to flash a new rom from sd card! hope it works!

Why asking for trouble? I've been flashing via PC for so long, so many times (cooked firmware and radio), on so 4 devices.. I have not encountered a brick ever. in fact, most of the issues you can just go into bootloader mode and reflash again..
I did it and it worked! This is a way easier method! I like it!!! BUT I STILL HATE MY PHONE cause I had a G1 last week and it got stolen! I hate it when that happens. I only got to use it for one week! Some B***H stole it!

Press and hold the camera button...reset with the stick.....when you can see the color bars release the stick and after the camera button..
If the color bars is in your screen , everything is ok.You can flash the rom.
The color bars is the bootloader.
I wonder what's your radio version....

Check again if the hard spl is right.
No need to hard spl the device when you want to flash a new rom.
Hard spl is for one time and that's it.
If your radio version is 1.65.xx.xx ,you must downgrade it first to 1.59.xx.xx.

Ohhh come on...Did you Hard spl your device with Olipro hard spl v2?? Good !!!
If the radio that you have right now is 1.65.xx.xx ,you never let you flash any other rom with included radio,until you downgrade first your radio to any 1.59.xx.xx.
So you must try first a new radio and after if everything goes well ,flash your original Htc's rom..

by the way,i flashed the official rom russian version according to my device.i downloaded from
the htc website through my device's s/n
I haven't big knowledge in Polaris hardware but i think its IPL it cant start device.
One thing, find a full dump of original rom with IPL, SPL, Radio and OS and try to flash it.
But if that dont help - too bad =( maybe bad sectors in IPL

i flashed the official roms which including the ipl spl radio and os.
do u meant i should find a full rom to dump it and then to flash them one by one? but the problem is i can not flash the ipl under the bootloader
i have dumped the full rom of htc original one but just have spl.nb windows.nb splash.nb radio.nb i cannot see the ipl
who can give me a better tool to dump?
i thought of re doing doloop's modd for CDMA TP2
and here it is fully tested to be working
confirmation thnx to ziggy471: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6052356&postcount=97
now we can mtty our TP2 without having the need of MTTY and its drivers
INSTRUCTIONS:
- download and unzip
- put you favorite RADIO in the mix
- run then task29.exe and wait for it to finish.....
- device will reboot but will neva go past the bootscreen coz there is no OS to boot
- take our batti and then flash a rom using mSD card or by taking device into bootloader and using customRUU to load ur favorite ROM
DOWNLOAD:
View attachment task29.zip
CREDIT:
all credit goes to doloop for coming up with the idea
doloop said:
Hi,
I hex edited RomUpdateUtility.exe so it runs task 29 right after flashing ruu_signed.nbh
As every one understand this command format the rom,
Just unzip and run task29.exe . You may replace ruu_signed.nbh with the radio of your choice.
After the phone reset itself, your old rom will be gone, so it won't boot: binfs has been formated, your phone memory is clean.
You'll need to power up in bootloader mode (press vol down right after power key), then use the leocustomruu.exe provided with your favorite rom package, or flash it from memory card using standard procedure.

Before you flash a new ROM, just to make sure all of the old files get deleted. If some old files are not deleted, they have a chance of creating hiccups with your freshly installed ROM (basically the new ROM cannot over-write, over-ride or remove the old files). This is meant to help with clearing your internal storage.

It won't boot because there is probably no radio. Manually put your phone in bootloader. Connect to p/c and flash radio.

Question
I'm Hard SPL unlocked, but not SIM unlocked. Can I still run Task 29 and flash a stock Sprint radio? I've been reading that I can't flash a radio to my TP2 unless I'm SIM unlocked?
Do I need a radio if I use Task29 or can I use the radio I had already on my TP2 which was the stock Sprint CDMA radio?
if I need a radio, where can I get the stock Sprint CDMA radio? Then do I perfom the setup in this manner?
1. Run Task29
2. Enter Bootloader
3. Flash new radio
4. Enter Bootloader
5. Flash new ROM
Thanks

!!!! ROOTING/FLASHING/DOWNGRADING IS ALWAYS ON YOUR OWN RISK !!!!
Attention: This method will completely wipe your phone!!!
You can find the reworked Tutorial here: http://android-tutorials.org/
Video of the first step is online: Step 1
Video of the 3 & 4 step is online: Step 3 & 4
Known Problems
If you have problems while re-rooting or custom recovery (unrevoke) try to downgrade again with the above procedure.
Make sure you have made a new goldcard.
If you have problems e.g. 140 ERROR please follow these instructions (thx to raz2133)
This will fix your MISC Partition so you can flash back original RUU files.
Happy re-rooting
P.S. i hope you can understand this because english is not my foreign language
Great News!
Im not Root-Bricked ^^ but someone else will be happy with it =)
Edit: Why is 1 Pic from July and one from March!? And different times.
Thank you!!!
Maybe you should add: this wipes your device...
This is great, keep up the good work! =)
Edit: Are we sure those that do not have a carrier locked/branded also needs to create a goldcard?

For everyone how was in bad luck and updated to the original OTA FroYo here is a way how you can revert it.
The User maximini1 has found a thread where they describe how you can downgrade to 0.80 again.
So i try to explain how you have to do it.
Preparation
1. Make a NEW Goldcard (here)
2. Download PB99IMG.zip (here - MIRROR - germany MIRROR2)
3. Rename the downloaded file to "PB99IMG.zip" and copy it onto your SD Card.
Flashing
1. Shutdown yor mobile
2. Hold Volume up and press power
3. wait until PB99IMG.zip was found and checked
4. Press Volume Up <yes> - PICTURE 1
5. Wait until all steps are done. DON't POWER OFF YOUR DEVICE!!! - PICTURE 2
6. After flashing press Volume Up to reboot
7. done
Happy re-rooting

Looks like it's possible for those with an unbranded/unlocked phone:

First of all, I have an unbranded simlock-free phone. All I did was
1. download the file to SD card.
2. rename to PB99IMG.zip
3. boot into recovery (turn phone on while holding down volume)
4. just let it load the zip file and press yes when asked to install
Easy as that!

Ok, I never rooted my android before and I have the OTA 2.2 Froyo update on an unbranded Desire. After I complete these steps, what do I need to do to install a custom rom?
Thanks!

Root your phone with unrevoked, using on of these guides for example:

Windows:

Ok for the dumb and ignorant among us (a.k.a me) what state does this leave your phone in.
I get I downgrade HBOOT to 0.80 and my phone will be wiped, but what ROM will be on the phone after the downgrade will it still be the OTA rom or will it be another one?
Or do I then need to install a ROM of my choice after the downgrade, sorry if this is a really stupid question, I haven't put any custom ROM on my Desire yet and then I got the OTA update as I was thinking about checking out some custom stuff. Not had the phone long.
Thanks.
{EDIT} someone beat me to it as I was typing this post thanks for the above!

After you've done the steps above you will have the following:
Blank and wiped device
Firmware: 2.1-update1 UNROOTED!
HBOOT: 0.80
Basband(Radio): 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2
Kernel: [email protected]#1
Build: 1.21.405.2 CL174215 release-keys
With that you can root and flash anything you want
Thanks for the tuto.
Hello sweety 0.80, bye bye dirty 0.92 ^_^
Worked for me.
Btw, didn't need the gc
Well, if this works AdamG doesn't have to find a way to root hboot 0.92.
:/
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Has anyone tried this on a branded, but rooted phone?
I've got an O2 branded desire with hb00t 0.83, I can root with unrevoked, but can't boot into recovery =( Hoping this will fix it.
It's works fine! Why doesn't work the recovery bat. on my PC?
