Do you have an M500 already or something else ?
Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
I will be relinquishing my i-mate JAM for an M500 in a few hours, so I'd like to take the opportunity to thank everyone here for a great time and experiencing hacking away at these HTC devices. Though we've accomplished much, it's a double-edged sword with HTC and their branding companies such as i-mate, Dopod, O2, etc. They give us enough leeway to make some really cool customizations, but they also have the attitude that 'if you want features you're missing in your current software, we'd rather you purchase new hardware (read: WM5).'
The Eten M500 seems to be a very formidable competitor with some serious technical support and definite upgrade path to WM5, so in the long run, this will likely outlast the JAM in most respects.
When I get my M500, I'll hope to find a way to get into the bootloader and make a dump of the unit and perhaps end up helping the community who's helped me and countless others with their HTC devices.
Thanks for you time here and at HOFO
it's sad to hear that you are leaving xda-developers...
Yet.. I wish you best luck with your new M500 :wink:
I hope we can get great info from you regarding the device... as always
thanks for all of your time
cheers
@BeyondtheTech
Has ETEN's build quality improved? Their first few attempts at PPCPE were not so good... maybe you can share your ETEN experience when you get your m500. Have fun with your new device!
ETEN :shock:
I was actually talking about the Orange M500, sorry if the conversation went awal..
Hello Everyone,
I was just wondering if someone was actually putting an effort at porting crossbow to the 6700?
Thanks,
Ken
That would be awsome!!
Oh I sure hope they do. I wish I knew how to do it so I could.
Help...
Hi everyone...
I try to make an update to my Alltel PPC6700 but apparently the ROM was not the indicated one (Crossbow) and now single it remains ignited the light of the flash.
I have removed the battery, I have done reset, soft reset, hard reset and nothing…
I just got a black screen and the light of the flash all along ignited, and when I execute the RUU always says that there is no communication.
Somebody can help me?
Try hard resetting and reflashing. I tried the same rom with the same exact results. I was able to reflash with the stock rom. Be sure to go back to boot screen.
I am currently learning to write the ROM's for my Cingular 8125. Just need to know what the diffrence is between the Apache and the Wizard. Anyone got a clue? or maybe a Rom that I can work with to see.
I would love to have this also for my xv6700...
its a shame how all the other htc got upgrades to crossbow but not the apache

Apache Fan
Yes I'd love to see crossbow for the Apache as well =P
anyone ??? crossbow for apache ???
ahhhhhh comeon wm6 for apache ??? someone ?? anyone .. ...
Bump...any chance someone will step up and get WM6 going on the Apache? I don't want to flash to one of the 3.5 ROMs if Crossbow is an option. Puhleeeze! :-D

People PLEASE!!! This is being worked on. It may happen. It may not. You must be patient. When there are updates you will be publically notified. Don't expect anything and if you do get something be happy you did.
CHILL PLEASE!!! Everyone knows we want WM6 for Apache.
I'm working on it guys. Please be patient. It's still a ways off.

Just curious what "a ways off" is? A few weeks, few months, most likely never? I am patient, but simply wonder what- off the top of your head knowing the workload at hand- the rough estimated term might be.
Thanx
Too many variables to say.
i def. cant wait
Thank you for the work XDA developers... I anxiously await for this update...
Crossbow/WM6 for Apache
I have the Verizon XV6700 - which I guess is the same thing.
I'd be willing to donate to whoever provides the upgrade.
Maybe others would too to pay for the time it takes?
I've been looking a lot. Plain and simple, which rom is the most complete, best working, wm6 rom for my imate sp5m? That's all I need. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
Gah. Look. I'm not trying to be rude here, ok, but I really need some answers pronto. I don't have 10 days to sit around and wait for one person to give me a hint. I know there are threads right there at the top saying wm6 vanilla and wm6 4434234.242424 etc. but what I don't know is which one to trust. I don't know the first thing about "cooked" roms alright, I just want something that is going to work and be as official as possible. Please guys, some one help me out on this as soon as possible, I don't have a ton of time. Thanks again, and sorry if I was a little rude. Not meaning to be, just frustrated. Thanks again. SPACE
I really like Nitro's ROM, but I suggest using vjgrace's last ROM until Nitro or someone integrates all fixes.
Nitro's Rom is the most complete for me!I still have the V5(Greek) not the Platinum one and it's really good.Nothing else to say...
awesome! Thanks guys, I really appreciate the responses. I'll give it a try and let you know how it all turns out. Thanks again.
Guy's,
I'm sadly informing you that my Uni is dead!
Actually it is not dead; it's switched on but a white screen and I can't see anything on the screen. I seems the display is damaged. I've unmounted the whole unit, did a cleanup and re-assembled but my bad luck ...
There is no spare available in my country (Bangladesh) for Uni so I can't even repair it.
Thanx to MyMobiler, it has given me the access to my device and this thread has been created using the benefit of this nice tool.
I have completed a new build couple of days back. It is a bug-fix build of v8.0 but based on 19960 core. I'll upload it sometime next week (without beta testing).
I suppose it will be the last present from "TOMAL" for our beloved Universal.
All the best.
Thanks for your hard work, for keeping our uni's alive for a long time, I hope you 'll find a solution to fix your device, and give us more great rom's.
"All things shall come to pass"
Thank you very much Tomal, your great work helped many Uni's around the world.
V8 is so stable, i am positive many people will keep on using it for a long time (I included).
So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish (and other goods from your kitchen).
Alslamo Alykom My brother Tomal
It is the most bad news today. I think it is not the end of Tomal's era but may be the end of Uni era at all for a lot of us.
I think that we should start to find a way to repair ur device not only thanking u for ur past effort. Why not to donate u to buy another one or any one from europe could send u the accessory part u need.
Anothyer solution that will take longer time is sending ur device with one of ur country citizenzs who travel frequently to Arab nations where there is a lot of workshops that can repair it. May i arrange for something like that, if u interested please PM me.
It is a call for all uni lovers to donate to Tomal to support him to ride over his current problem.

Hi Tomal,
sorry to hear your leaving the forum. However don't give up on you universal just yet. The same thing happened my device just two days ago. After two days working on it I took all of the RF cage lids off and used a spray on Electrolube FLUXCLENE. on everything including internal connectors. (Also used a hot air gun on the internal components. Build my uni back up again and it has been working ever since. Even has better than usual battery life.
Look forward to your last build, my only issue with the last one was that the front facing camera did not work.
- T
Nooooo!
I'm not saying any good byes to the great TOMAL here... after a long long time i got my self satisfied with some ROM. every thing was so at ease. even though the bugs and short comings are there but i must confess the V8 is the best, FAST & STABLE ROM ever.
pls. find a way to fix your UNI. or try some thing from Pakistan. eveything is easily availabe here....
farehmani
I agree to the post written by another member.I believe that his huge efforts making the uni so long lasting deserve a small donation from us all (say 3$) which would help him get a new screen and proceed with his fine work.
I'll now intantly check if i have a sum left to my paypal account to donate him for his work and hope for his return...
V8.0
Hello Tomal ! ! ! ! I am sad to hear that you are having problems with your Universal. I am very impressed now with your v8.0 very fast & stable since you have helped us with information on fixing the current bugs in your v8.0 rom. I must say it is truthfully the best cooked rom I have ever used on my "Qtek 9000". At this time I have everything running perfectly on your v8.0 which I have read through your entire forum for v8.0 and have fixed all the problems that I was encountering in your v8.0. The only thing I ask you to do if you can do this on your next fixed release on v8.0 to have the extended rom (storage) accept software downloads. I use a lot of third party software on my device for my company needs and have put that software on the flash disk. The other software I was forced to put on a storage card which I could not put directly in the extended rom (storage) because if I put additional 3rd party software on my device it would take up to much space. Even though I had my ram upgraded from 64mb to 128mb this year in January of 2008 year by PocketPCTechs out of California which did an excellent job and a reasonable price. Once your v8.0 is released next week I will test this. If I am 100% completely satisfied I will make a large donation directly to "Tomals Paypal" to help you in the repair of your Univerisal or toward a purchase for a used or new Univerisal on ebay. I strictly use my "Qtek 9000" for my companies which your great roms keep my Univerisal running and going. The only other thing I ask of you Tomal that the only thing I could not get to work is the "Network Wizard". I can install the software on the device but when I tap on the icon nothing happens. The only way I can get this to work is go to File Explorer then to go to windows and tap on the "Network Wizard" icon which then works. So at this time I have removed this from my device until it works properly hopefully on your next v8.0 fix. So if everybody else that uses "Tomals Cooked Roms" would make any type of donation where we have enough people contributing then Tomal would have enough donations to purchase a new Universal. That would be greatly appreciated. As you can see Tomal has put many, many hours and hard work & effort to making these cooked super great Roms possible and for the Universal to live on. So we should also help him to make his cooked roms keep going on. So let's make the difference by making a donation today.
A salute to you sir, you enabled me to get vastly more enjoyment out of my very exspensive mobile phone. You are the man!
heh!
I´m sure toghrther we can help you in some way!
Hi Tomal
I ask you to don´t give up on your Uni
We are a lot the people who are using your ROM´s very happy
So I porpose, as someone said it before, that we donate a small amount to help you buy another Uni, the piece you have broken, or any other way you want us to help you.
It´s the minimal effort we can do toghther to support the guy has been supporting and keeping alive our Uni´s around the world.
SO PLEASE ALL!!!
It´s time to really unite and help
Tomal, let us know how much you need to fix your problem, so we can see how much money we have to raise (Ok guys it´s not going to be a high amount)
Waiting your reply and hoping the Tomal´s ROM users can joint to HELP
My best wishes to all
PD: I found this site on the forum with good comments about delivery service, from China to Bangladesh I think it´s not too far?...
http://cnn.cn/shop/dopodo2-d900-universal-platform-c-138_385.html
Hope this helps, not sure if this is the part you need. But in case it is Guys look at the price, how much you think we have to cooperate for each person?3 dollars, 4 dollars!!
Let´s help!, of course if Tomal agrees
Thank you so much
Thank you so much for your feeling. I'm simply impressed!!
I'm actually not sure about which part is damaged whether it's the main board or just the display assembly. Interestingly I can still access my Uni using the MyMobiler.
Just for you guy's information, it's not easy to get any spare over mail/courier due to govt. regulations in my country. Only alternative I can see is to send the device (for repair) to Europe or other places when someone traveling there.
Hi Tomal it seems the cable which transmits signals to display got broken, my offer to you is if you can post your uni to me here in UK then i ll get it fixed for you and will send it back, you have done so much for us now its time for us to do something for you

Good idea olympia786
If Tomal agrees, you can let all us know the expenses and toghether can raise the amount.
Looking forward to help Tomal in any way possible
Cheers
PD: Perhaps this guy can help also: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405566
he´s so greatfull to this site that maybe he can do something, just an idea..
Tomal: Can you buy a new or second hand Uni in your country from anywhere?
If so, then I suggest we have a collection and send Tomal the money directly so he can buy it himself, this way there is no problem with shipping and the mail
If not, then we could buy a new screen from eBay and try to send it in the mail to him - this would be cheaper but more risky. A small flat screen should fit quite easily into a letter and be very hard to detect, shouldn't it?
I love Tomal's ROM, I was starting to hate my MDA PRO with WM5 but I love it now that his ROM is installed
Uni's are quite cheap nowadays, I just looked on eBay and the average price is between £100 and £150. I am willing to donate a large percentage of the total cost, I think I can afford about £40. Come on guys dig deep, Tomal has done so much for the Uni and there are very few active chefs left!
A moving note from Tomal. Well surely I will wait and try ur final 8. The last is always the most meaningful one!
Best Wishes! Million Thanks to you for the 7.7 as it's the rom I used for quite a few months unable finding a replacement in previous months. Now I use Darkforcesteam's
It's time to try a more powerful PPC, so many for you to choose out there these days!
Saludos
It will be a pleasure for me to help Tomal, pls let me know what will be the way.
Saludos

Hope you can confirm us if that Uni is ok for you and if you don´t have any problems to recieve an Uni from other country.
And most important if you are ok with this posibility
Cheers
Count me in to help Tomal. Please let us all know what has been decided and how we proceed.
Hi guys , it is true that herald is somehow out dated but we can still keep it alive by new looking roms ,sorry i donnot mean to spam or ask for free labor ,we will donate , from me as far as i live in Iran ,we donnot have credit cards to donate but we can done it by clicking and supporting sponserd links
anybody interested in keeping him alive!?
I think I have breathed all the life into the Herald/Wing/Dopod that I can:
I have made the Wing look like Windows Phone 7 (with my Trib7 Suite), like the HTC Evo (with my SPB Snark Edition), like the HTC HD2 (with my TribM2D ROM Set) and I have made Titanium available for the Wing. Not only that I have made it light and fast with my Base ROM with more than 70MB of internal storage.
In retro spect, I hope that new and old users of the device provide more ROMs. But I don't think it is feasible..
Not because of the people using the devices - not at all - but because of the limit to the device's resources and because Microsoft won't be putting out anymore updates: Build 23676 is the latest and greatest from Microsoft as of the 14th of August. After this, I don't believe that there will be anymore updates to work with.
As a challenge, mate, I'd like to see people out there make a ROM with this build.
I'm personally waiting for android to be better completed and then jump completely over to that... which is wing linux.
Still, while the wm 6.x are a huge improvement over what came with the phone and was definitely worth it and appreciated... there are a few bugs that are annoying. It would be great to see those fixed but I don't expect it to happen. The current state is good enough to be better anyway.
I agree
Hi everyone
Dear Tribulattifather or may i call you "the king of the wing"
i have used your roms and they are all best. as you mentioned we have a limited resources ... i would like to cook new roms but 1 thing that i donnot know where to start , many threads but as a noob to cook i need some clear directions ,if you can point me a good direction so i will be the soldier for you ,
thanks again for care Tribulattifather
Your the best !
I found your guide about cooking roms ! the best developer ever ! i will try to put my ideas and make a new rom but not as a challenge !!!!
Thank you; I really appreciate your patronage.
I can't wait to see what you guys come up with. I was thinking about getting another Wing again. They're pretty cheap now.
If you make a ROM i'll test it out.
Thats good
Hi
Thanks ! is there any visual emulator of herald so it will help us preventing sudden bricking the phone ?
2- if i wanna use spb shell only i have to put it on cabs folder ?
thanks again
Well, if you plan on making custom firmware for your device you should HardSPL your phone.
But you actually don't need custom firmware for SPB.
There is unfortunately no emulator for our phones, however.
Thanks again .cuz i thought there was some emulator for hd2 , so i will try to collect as many icons as i can ! thanks again
Okay. Cool.
Hey, also, I just bought another Wing
So i'm ready whenever you are
