Hello!
I'm French, and I have a Qtek 8310 (currently with WM5).
I'd like to turn into WM6, but it seems there is two different ROMs here (the sticky from jm012a9749 and the sticky from andot), and I really don't know which one is the best for me...
So, if you could help me to find the best for me:
I'm French (but I guess both are in English, so there is no hope for me to find a French one... )
I don't send any MMS
I send a lot of SMS (I'd like a French T9)
I use Windows Live (Messenger, Contacts, Hotmail, Spaces...)
I use a SIP account to make phone calls with the wifi
I sometimes take some photos
I'm not a complete geek... so, I need a ROM not too hard to install...
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

go with the perfect edition, which is better tuned and less buggy.
You can find many extra applications in the forum. especially check the extras package under Phil's sticky (post 4 I guess). Follow the instructions in Phil's sticky to supercid and format binfs, then install andot's PEE. I guess you can also find localisation files in the forum, but I never tried that.

Oh my God, I haven't understand anything of what you said...
When you say "andot's PEE", does it mean that?
And, I think I have understand that I must do the things written in the topic of the other ROM (Phil's one), before installing the andot's ROM... Am I right?
Please excuse me if I'm bothering you with my stupid questions... I'm not a geek. A big thank for your patience!!!

Its alright mate, ill guide you
1) Run SDA_Application Unlock
2) Extract SPV-Services, copy cert.cab into your phone and open it from ur phone to install it
3) Run SP-services, click CID-Tools, Set CID=1111111, turn off your phone
4) Remove the USB cable, disable USB Active Sync Connection ( Active Sync connection options )
5) Hold the camera button when the phone is off, plug in the USB cable, you will see a 3 colour screen
6) Run teratermpro, select USB
7) Type info2, you should see some weird number and HTCSuperCID
8) Type 'format BINFS' w/o the quotes
9) Then when its done, type 'ResetDevice'
10) Then run Phil's GSMUPDATE, get it from Phil's BETA thread, first post, extract it and run RUUUpgradeUtility

Thanks a lot karhoe, it's vey nice of you!!
Before beginning: You talk about ActiveSync... but I use Windows Vista, so I have the "Gestionnaire pour appareils Windows Mobile" instead of ActiveSync... May it be a problem?
Oh, and another quick question before I begin:
Is there a way to save my SMS messages on my computer, in order to put them back on the phone after the upgrade?
I'm afraid you have a problem, SuperCID only work on WinXP, besides that, you cant run the RUU just like that in Vista, I suggest you do everything on an XP system
Yes, you can transfer SMS into your phone, use JeyoMobileExtender, trial version for few days, enough to backup, after that you can crack, but im not going to post the crack here
Also, in Vista, you don't have Active Sync, but Windows Mobile Device Centre, which is another problem, just get an XP system
[nothing... please excuse this useless topic]
I'm so stupid, I did'nt remember I have a old laptop with XP.
I'm on it currently.
I have installed ActiveSync 4.5, Jeyo MobileCompanion to backup SMS, Contacts and Call History on the PC.
Then, I ran SDA_ApplicationUnlock, but it told me "Phone is not unlockable", and just after: "SDA succesfully unlocked. PLEASE REBOOT SDA NOW!". It's quite weird...
Well, I rebooted the phone, and now I'll do your etap n° 2.
2) Extract SPV-Services, copy cert.cab into your phone and open it from ur phone to install it

I guess "SPV Services" is that: http://www.spv-developers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=236
I have a problem: I copied Cert.cab on the phone and ran it to install it, but the installation failed.
I guess it's because SDA_ApplicationUnlock hasen't work...
What should I do now?
edit: That's okay, I succeded with HTCUnlock-CVS.zip instead of SDA_ApplicationUnlock.
I'm proud of me! LoL
(problem solved)
Good luck dude, later when you want to transfer back the SMS to your phone, just Select all by hitting CTRL A, then clk Copy SMS to device

awesome mate! good luck flashing. I am warning you, it will become a habit
Thanks for your encouragements.
But I think I have a BIG problem, now:
I ran the "ROMUpdateUtility" from the WM6GSMUPDATE.zip of Phil, and I had no problem, it come to 100% quite fast.
Then, I've just ran the "ROMUpdateUtility" from wm6-for-tornado-perfect-english-edition-20070810.zip, and I now I have an error:
ERROR [260] : UPDATE ERROR
The Update utility cannot connect to your Smartphone. Please check that your USB cradle/cable is connected properly between the PC and your Smartphone.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Of course, the cable is still well connected, I haven't unplugged it.
Currently I have the 3 colors bands on the phone screen, with some things written.
That's OK now, I rebooted the phone and it worked.
Yesssss!!!!! It worked!!!!
I'm really happy!
But now I would like to know how to write SMS messages... Because I can only write numbers.
(Is there a French T9 available?)
Thanks in advance for your help.
salut,
tu es francais alors je parle francais, pour le t9, telecharge les extas dispo dans le post de phil, install xt9 english et ensuite instal MoDaCo xt9 ! et voila tu le t9 en francais
Super, merci pour ton aide !!
By default, it does not have any input, you must install T9 English or whatever language you want

But to answer your question directly, no, you can't install PC software on a WinMo device.
@emesbe
FIRST OF ALL FLAMING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED IN THE Q&A SECTION
@rossari0
no you cannot load programs designed for windows vista or windows xp on your ppc it is a differen operating system.
Some progams like the sims are available in a different version for your ppc. You will just need to do a search for what you are looking for. Here is a link to a freeware site to which you can download some apps for your phone (i can assure you though that diablo isn't on the list )
My apologies. It will not happen again.
oops. wrong post.
Hi guys/gals
Ok im not a newbie here and have flashed many phones with cooked roms .
Now is this just me i just dont understand how to flash my magic . i have downloaded everything to my laptop , vista 32 bit ,
i connect my phone then phone askes me to mount sd card , no options to install new drivers for the phone or just use to use the phone and not no the sd card .
So how do i get it to see my phone so i can install new drivers for it that came with the stuff i downloaded ? do i need to put the phone in bootloader ?
i have debugging ticked and everythimg on the phone i just cant get the pc to see my poor magic ,
and another thing in wikki it says open dos to files and cd ?????????? what the hell is this lol how do i do that , any help would be fantastic as i want to play around with my magic , i guess its like a kids birthday getting a presant and not knowing what to do with it sigh
Im all for learning and finding stuff out for myself but in this case their is so much conflicting info around on google which to trust and which not to . i have seen people have had probs getting vista to install the correct drivers but no answer to the problem ..... also i have not even got that far as my pc wont see my little magic .....its not magic to me yet
Thanks in advance for any help given tc guys and gals
Having stayed away from Vista thankfully I can only describe how to really do it in XP but what you basically do is:
1. Connect the phone to your USB and do not select to mount SD card from your phone
2. If you then go to your device manager that shows the list of devices installed under USB you should have something like common device or so forth, if you keep opening them up you will find one that says Android Phone
3. Once you've found the android phone one select to update drivers, then just navigate to the drivers folder on your pc (included in the Android SDK)
Secondly to open dos you go to Start -> Run and type in cmd and press enter, you get a little command prompt box.
As for CD...
http://www.colorado.edu/geography/gcraft/tips/doshelp.html
Read that it'll help you out =o)
great
thanks for taking the time out to help me mate intresting to read an learn dos prompt thanks again mate
lol god dam
ok i have read the page 11 x now , i have my stk files in a folder called new on my desktop.
can i get dos to see it can i hell lol noooooooooooooooo why is vista such a pain in the ass
also what cd am i ment to be getting dos to see ?
i feel such a noob again .
ahhhhh htc touch is so easy to flash lol this is a pin in the ass lol
ahh
ahhh cd to the tools !!!???
You can get to your desktop from command prompt but think its under something like:
C:\document and settings\yourname\desktop\ or something similar, i would recommend just copying the folder to c root so its something simple like c:\android\sdk\tools or something.
just keep looking around and checking with DIR whether your in the right place =o)
thanks
Thanks again for your help .
Ok i have found all that now with command promt with your help of course ,But its a big prob with vista a lot of people are having problems installing the drivers for htc magic as vista keeps installing th default divers and you cant turn it of even if you tick do not update drivers it updates them with no option to install drivers . also you cant update the driver iyourself after that as vista says you already have the best driver for it ! Their are hundreds of posts about this problem with lots of ways round it but none actualy work .
you cant even install adb or fast boot .
GOD DAM VISTA . ASTA LA VISTA when or if i find a solution for this . Once again thanks for your help .
Oh to add all the people having problems like me have connected their phone up first without having the development ticked . and vista installed drivers for that . which is part of the problem one guy has it working but only by installing vista again . now thats going a bit far in my eyes lol
Just one problem thread regarding issues with what i have said none of the methods listed work !?????
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1039 Im again vista 32
ok
Ok i found this by playing with my pc after much hassle from vista here is what what i found.
Use a different usb cable (i used my other htc cable) dont ask me why but it will see the devise as htc phone usb . now download the new driver below .
goto devise manager now look for portable devices , you will see android phone . click update driver now click have disk point to the driver below and yeppppp it trys to install it ,, now the prob i have is windows found driver software for your device but had an error when trying to install it . device can not start code 10 .android sooner adb testing interface . now thats the first ime i have seen adb testing blah blah so i must be on the right track . sorry im just trying to put as much info down as poss , so we can try work this out as many people are having the same prob but why ???file is not uploading but can be found on the link in my post above this one
also the prob with fastboot is you run it and it says this application has failed to start because adbwinapi.dll was not found . re-installing the application may fix this problem but does it ????? does it hell lol
we love vista not
I have rooted my HTC magic using windows 7, to get the driver to install have you turned on the USB Debugging, when I did this it required a new driver when I connected the USB cable again.
Setting can be found in Settings - Applications - Development - USB Debugging
Then i followed the wiki guide found on another thread on this forum category
Hope this helps
Mark
hi
Hi mate USB Debugging is already turned on mate thats the first thing i did buddy , thanks for taking the time to read and reply buddy its so annoying all i wana do is flash lol
I think its to do with when i first connected my phone to the laptop i did not have it ticked and vista installed its own drivers . but now i want to flash with debugging ticked it wont find anymore drivers nor let me choose drivers . google is flooded with people having the same prob ??? lets ask all so helpfull microsoft why haha hahahahah best joke this year their vista support is run by donkeys
ok
Ok after 5 hours of looking reading and searching i have decided that at the moment their isno way around this on vista it is for many reasons the drivers are not written for vista , the way vista installs drivers with no way of updating or turning of auto install !!!!! so il say it again god dam vista
Hi All,
I just tried to connect my TF101 to an old WinXP box and got the error above when installing the driver from the Asus site, the solution after looking here was to install the Microsoft User Mode Driver Framework for WinXP here. I think this fix applies to all android devices but I figured it was worth a post if it saves some TF users from a long search.
Thank you for this, helped me fix it after searching around for 2 hours!
thanks heaps
You are a legend. Samsung should put this on their site. I couldnt get my Samsung Galaxy S II to connect, installing the Framework and then uninstall and driver and plug phoneback in then worked.
WORKED LIKE A CHARM!!!
POST THIS IN SAMSUNG WEBSITE
This driver package solves the Error code 28
for MTP device as samgung, then it works in Kies.
Hey thanks for the info +1
Thanks it works
equal or better file already installed on this computer
I get the same INF error when I try to hook up my video camera. I tried to download the file but received a message stating that I already have an equal or better one already. Obviously that is not correct because it is not working.
I am lost and can no longer put my videos from Panasonic Mini DV on my computer.
Any chance anyone knows how I can fix this..thanks!!
Gigsee, what operating system are you experiencing this on?
The help above is specifically for WinXP, it *may* be applicable to Vista also but will certainly not apply for a Win7 box because the usb driver stack is totally different there.
You'll have to help me out by giving step by step instructions of what your clicking and what your seeing at the time to pinpoint your problem and please be very specific with the wording of any errors your seeing.
Reply with something like;
1- click start> settings > control panel > system.
2 - open device manager tab.
George
Hi George - Thank you for taking the time to try to help me. I have an HP that is running on Vista Home.
I have tried to add the video camera several ways. One way is to open Movie Maker and add video camera. I also just hook the video camera up to the computer. I've tried a USB cord and HP told me I needed an IEEE 1394 cord, but that made no difference. I've tried going through the control panel to cameras and adding a camera. No matter how I try, it always does the same thing:
1) I plug in the USB cord. I instantly get this message: USB Device Not Recognized.
2) Control Panel; Scanners & Cameras; Add Device
3) I am sent to the Welcome to the Scanner and Camera Installation Wizard
4) Next; I have the box asking me if I want to select the manufacturer from the list (only my old printer is on the list) or to select that I have the manufacturer's disk
5) Have Disk
6) Message says to the Insert manufactures installation disk, which I do. It asks me to copy manufacture's files from:
7) I hit browse and change drive to E (since that is my disk drive).
8) A list of 6 files come up. Acrobat Reader, DV Studio3, USBDriver, ArcSoft, G726, AUTORUN
9) The acrobat, dv studio, arc soft all upload correctly. When I hit the USB Driver, it takes me to another screen that says DRIVERS. At this point, the file name gets automatically filled in as "AUTORUN.INF" When I click "OPEN" I get AUTORUN.INF File not found. Check the file name and try again.
note: It used to be that when I hooked up the camera to the computer, It would automatically detect it and try to connect with it. It was then that I got the error above about "A Service Installation section in this INF is invalid." Now, it doesn't even let me get that far.
I hope I was descriptive enough..thanks so much for trying to help me!!

I had the same issue with ASUS Transformer Prime TF201 connecting to WinXPSP2. Solution worked immediately. Thanks to original poster.
confirmed fixed issue with samsung vibrant! thank you
Hi !
I've got a Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH i777. I've been trying to connect it to my laptop ( now xp sp3 ) for a few weeks now.
I've tried almost everything :
-updated sp2 to sp3
-uninstall and reinstall drivers manually
-tried suggestions from android and xp forums : tried every connection mode, every usb port, code error 28 suggestions, .Net framework update , updated windows media player "mode", and some others ... even trying this Microsoft User Mode Driver Framework.
But no success. I've always had this annoying " A service installation section in this INF is invalid " message.
Until yesterday when I found this site and followed divadrummer 5 steps :
fixya.com/support/t221754-service_installation_section_in_inf
( as a knew member I cannot post outside links for a while - so you need to supplement the above line with the usual "stuff" like "www"
I've found the "inf" file in the windows hidden system.
Hope I could help .
Thank you very much!
Galaxy SII - MTP INF Issues
This is the EXACT issue I've been having. I'm thrilled to see it on XDA since I know there's so many competent people out there just brimming with eagerness to help me figure this out. (Or at least you're borderline willing)
Device: Samsung Galaxy SII Sprint SPH-D710 (i think)
OS: ICS
Computer: Dell Latitude d610
OS: XP SP3
As you know I connect my phone to the computer, it recognizes new hardware and attempts to install it. The only way to get the computer to recognize the phone in My Computer is by connecting as a digital camera and even then the VAST majority of my files are unavailable.
1. I installed the link provided by the original poster.
2. I uninstalled my phone by the device manager and in fact by removing the samsung phone drivers that I had earlier installed.
3. I then plugged my phone back into the computer.
4. I installed the Samsung drivers again
5. I allowed the "found new hardware to run its course.
6. I receive the attached screen shot with the error stating "An error occurred during the installation of your device. The required section was not found in the INF.
I have tried to follow the instructions above and I think the User Mode stuff sounds promising.
Next I attempted another fix at the link below:
fixya.com/support/t221754-service_installation_section_in_inf
The link had the following instructions: (Thanks Divadrummer)
"If the player is showing up in your Windows' Device Manager under "portable devices" with a yellow "!":
1.) Right-click the yellow "!" and choose "update driver".
2.) When given the option to connect to Windows Update, choose "no, not this time" and click next.
3.) Choose "Install from a specific location (advanced)" and click next.
4.) Choose "Don't search. I will choose the driver to install" and click next.
5.) Click the "Have Disk" button. Browse to C:\Windows\inf and choose the file marked "wpdmtp.inf"
I can't believe the generic players have such crappy support when so many people have this problem! I think the Windows file problem might be caused by "compressing old files" when you do a disk cleanup."
After doing as advised I found no wpdmtp.inf file. SO... I did what any amateur computer guy would do. I googled the file and downloaded it directly. I placed in in my INF directory and then tried to do step 5. I still experience the same error.
Suggestions and inquiries are welcome and encouraged.
Thank you in advance.
thanks

Read carefully, this is about the installation of Windows 10 ARM32 on the Surface RT1. Previously tried the Elektrohax tutorial (video on youtube and also posted at Alexenferman.com) but I was unlucky on my attempts.
This is the mentioned tutorial:
How to install Windows 10 on the Surface RT - Alexenferman
www.alexenferman.com
I followed the instructions but failed twice. Now I know what was wrong. The tutorial IS FINE, it works. The thing is you have to first apply a patched version of Windows RT8.1 and run some scripts, that was fine, now the specifics:
Don't "RUN" the scripts, do not double click, this was the issue on my side. It doesn't matter if you run the script as "Administrator", I repeat, in my case this was the problem, DO NOT RUN or just double click.
INSTEAD, open a CMD window elevated to Administrator privileges. Move to the location of the scripts, this means get into the specific folder, only then run the script.
This means, if you placed the script on a folder named "whatever", right clicking with administrator rights and then execute does-NOT have the same effect as getting inside the folder as in "CD\whatever" and then "name-of-the-script".
I tried several times and I can confirm this is the thing that failed on my attempts.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
Being that said, that website has all the instructions and links. Follow the tutorial carefully step by step. Keep the files on a safe place, who knows how long those will be kept on the web.
After my failed attempts I tried the chinese tutorial posted on Youtube by cong cheng on his channel. It worked, it even has some scripts working as installer, yes it works BUT after taking a deep look it's a method that applies a set of files made for some Nokia device, while it works, it is in chinese, has some broken things and it is SLOWER than Alexen Ferman method.
In short:
- Chinese - applies an already customized W10 version, way slower
- Alexen - it is an installer, you end up with a much better version
Good luck.
So what did you follow? The forums here seem to contain loads of broken links. Love to try W10 on my Surface since it's only collecting dust in my closet.
Thread edited and updated above and below.
Regarding Windows 10 on the Surface RT (CHINESE TUTORIAL)
I have no idea what's the risk on using a chinese modified pack. This one is different to the one at Alexen Ferman website, here I didn't need to apply all those patches (extras, after finishing the install), instead it worked out of the box. It's the same release as far as I know, but it's been customized.
My experience, what works:
o Edge works, better than IE11
o MyTube works (Youtube works amazingly well on this APP)
o System not as fast as W8.1
o I just clicked "Activate Windows" the usual way and it worked
o Cameras work out of the box (front and rear), no patches needed
o Can run ported apps (Paint.net, Halite, etc).
o YES, you gain access to some other apps on the STORE but hey, read below
X Office was in chinese (preinstalled) and slower, couldn't change it
X Removed it and installed the Office package provided by Alex Ferman
¬ After reinstalling, Office now is FASTER (tested and confirmed)
X No alternative browsers (just some but it's just IE with skin)
X Was kind of tricky to remove chinese (there are still some traces)
X Store doesn't fully work, just allows installing whatever is in my library (owned)
X VLC is way slower and ugly, worked way better on W8.1RT
- XX The Brightness control is kinda broken. You have to disable automatic changes and use only manual (via button), only there you can apply diff real levels of brightness to the screen, BUT, it won't work forever, after a while it will get stuck and you would have to reboot and set it right after going to the desktop.
- XX I'm still exploring this, I don't fully like it to be honest. The touch keyboard works, yes but in my case at times stops making sounds, and also stops working. Unplug and plug again fixes this but... meh.
It wasn't that great, I was actually considering going back to Windows 8.1 RT.
Now the final install I have (Alexen method):
Everything works, you just have to follow the tutorial and you will actually install W10, it's not an out of the box ready image, it is an installer. The only broken thing so far is the brightness control as explained above (it's an issue with the release so it won't go away), and the store didn't work for me, but there is an alternate method to install apps described at Alexen website.
Other than that EVERYTHING is better, it's fast, decent. I'm keeping my RT1 with Windows 10.
Read carefully, follow each step and don't give up. That's all I can say.
I did manage to get this working on my Surface 2 myself, was an interesting experience I don't really have any need for this thing anymore, but I have been pissed about buying a locked out piece of equipment for 8 years, so more just to principal of the thing! Thanks to Alex for all the work.
How do you install office from alexenferman? I tried running setup, but it says this app cant run on your pc. Also have you found a program to un pack .7z packages?
Has anyone written a guide on how to go back to windows rt 8.1?

Great that you got it working, now that you mention that you don't have any need for the Surface anymore, consider selling it to one of the member of the team working on modifications, unless you change your mind now that your surface works differently.

I simply downloaded the package and ran the Office Installer on the Surface (now with Windows 10ARM), your comment makes me think perhaps, you don't actually have a Surface with Tegra processor, please check. .7z? search for 7zip, that's the program to extract the files from the compressed package .7z

does anyone knows if it is possible to put google chrome book on W RT?

Nope, impossible. They didn't create a binary (executable app) for the platform and the way it's built (the source code) seems unlikely for someone else to do it.
Anyone interested please check the Discord link posted on this message.

I just got around to reading this. Thank you so much! I'm back on windows rt 8.1. One problem: Secure Boot is still disabled. Is there a way to re-enable it?

You should repart the drive using the official image downloaded from microsoft's site. If you want to come back to completely stock you have to re-install windows using the standard procedure, not the installation through wim file
im having an issue at the installing the wim using the dism. says system cant find the path specified. i verified the drive labels and all any ideas?
can some help me, after successful installed and load windows 10 on surface RT... when i want to run CMD as administrator. it gave an error "The Parameter is invalid".
Looking for some help, I got to the Win10 install stage and keep getting 0xc000000f blue screen error on Win10 boot. From the guide, it says I didn't choose to not copy system files when creating my recovery drive, but I didn't have any other options. I unchecked the only box available. Not sure what is wrong or how to fix. I can't reset, it asks me for my recovery drive, it doesn't accept the drive I created.
Edit: I ended up creating a new recovery drive from my Win10 PC, unchecked the box to copy system files, downloaded the Win RT recovery zip file from MS, copied the contents of that folder into the new recovery drive, copied the Win10 .wim from Alexen to the flash drive, and retried step 4 (I had already installed the hacked RT image and disabled secureboot, etc.). It is now booting, at least getting farther than it did before, after flashing the Win10 image.
Running into an issue right after the installing the patched image I get to the Region and Language select after the reboot and cannot select anything. After a bit the display just goes black. What can I do?
