the "MY PRIVATE PROGRAM" in the ftp wipes your computer. AVOID!!!!!!!!
i saw that just a few minutes ago and just by judging by the title looked malicious.. i have just now removed it from the ftp..
cheers, only took an hour to sort my computer out. that'll teach me!!!
such programs keep appearing in the ftp, at different folders and different name. Something needs to be done.
all i can suggest is if you see anything that looks suspicious or download anything that you think is odd, let myself or another mod know and will check it out and delete immediately.. i know i would pi$$ed if something hosed my machine and i dont want anyone else to go through the same thing
I got my new HD2 and was delighted, but then tried to get the software that I have been using previously to work on it.
As I travel around and look in second hand book and record shops, I am never totally sure from memory whether i have a particular book or cd. Publishers keep changing the covers and synopses.
On my Psion, it had as standard a lovely card database / rolodex type of program. It was easy to input, easy to search.
When I moved to the hx4700 on windows 2003SE I lost that. Eventually I found Data On The Run which is fully access compatible. So I've converted all of my lists to access, and was happy enough. It wasn't great as it tries to get too much on, and portrait only.
Now on the HD2, the software does not like fingers, only styluses. Scrolling is virtually impossible, as it won't drag to scroll. The pop out scroll bar helper does not show. The developer is one guy and hasn't time to continue developing.
I've looked at stuff like Bookbag plus and someone mentioned "My Collection" but I cannot find it anywhere on the net. There are serious commercial pieces of software that are in effect full database programs, but that is a sledgehammer to crack a walnut.
I know this may only help in the short term, and doesn't solve the software issue.
Have you changed the original theme on the device? If so the Pop out function on the theme is lost in order to return it without going back to the original theme you could try this. please remember to backup
Hope this helps in the short term.
Try this
Try ListPro.. it's a great application..

THanks. I had seen Collectorz which has templates for this, but had not found listpro. It looks a fairly steep learning curve, and I need to import my existing lists. However, its great advantage is that it is only one program that covers a multitude of lists, so i won;t be paying out twice or three times for basically the same thing.
I've installed and imported my book list, so can now try and get it synchronised. I had to install the cab file separately. I can set up the synchronisation in the Windows MObile Device Centre, but that has to be done through "files" and unless i have missed something that only lets me synchronise to the machine, not the storage card. That is no damn good.
Hi All,
In an attempt to get a definitive answer to this question.
Firstly, for those not aware, if you have the box your phone came in, the code should be listed with the IMEI number. If you don't have the box, or the code written down somewhere, your quest seems futile.
I had my 9502 into Telstra (Australia) for warranty work 3 times after I-Mate shut down. Each time it came back with at clean ROM install. After a long inquiry, and a number of heated phone calls, Telstra would not reveal my ROM CODE or how they were able to get it (most of the people I spoke to didn't know what I was talking about, and wouldn't put me onto the people who would).
THE APPEAL
Any techs out there (or anyone that might know a tech they can ask) that know how to get the ROM CODE, please let us in on the secret.
Seriously, all these phones are old tech now anyway, so whats the problem.
If the codes can't be generated, please let us know that so we can go about our lives in peace.
I don't want guesses, or rumors. I want a tech who knows what they are talking about to give us a final answer.
[here] is the i-mate Ultimate 9502 WM6.1 (5.2.19585) Chinese SD CARD ROM.
How to use it - I don't know, as I don't have this device.
But most likely you need to copy all files to empty FAT16 SD card (non-SDHC) and find key combination to launch BOOTLOADER.
I think it's the only way to flash it without ROM CODE.
You should somehow access this menu (found this in oemsbl.mbn):
Code:
===SD Download Auto Menu===
0)Exit without update
1)update QCSBLHDCFG
2)update QCSBL
3)update OEMSBL
4)update AMSS
5)update APPSBOOT
6)DO-IT-ALL (CAUTION: WILL ERASE FLASH FIRST)
7)update FLASH.BIN
9)DO-IT-ALL-FR (CAUTION: WILL ERASE FLASH FIRST)
===========================
Thx Spiaatie
I'll check it out and post how I go.
Hmmm...
Not sure how to do this, and my concern is that I don't know what the ROM is, and if it's not any good (or in Chinese) I've got no way to get back to where I am now.

ROM is operating system in this case it's WM6.1.
You don't need to flash it, you just need to find a way to get phone into SD Downloader mode. Chinese ROM is the only one I have, but if it's possible to flash it through SD Card - I could probably make English ROM.
Thx for the offer of the english ROM Spiaatie, but I'm not sure i'll improve anything. I had a look around on my hdd for some of the ROMs I d/ld when there was an active thread on XDA for the 9502, and it looks like I've deleted them. Since the thread seems to have been deleted (an observation not a complaint) there probably isn't much point pursuing this further. Since getting my HTC Desire, I have only been looking to streamline the 9502 OS a bit so my kids can play games on it, so I wouldn't want anyone wasting valuable time for that.

Sorry for such a late response. I was searching for something else when I found out this thread. Anyway, in order to put the 9502 in bootloader mode, press and hold both the left 'OK' and the right '-' (vol-down) buttons, and, whilst keeping them pressed, slide the screen up to reveal the hardware keyboard, and briefly press the reset pin with the stylus pen.
Just my 2 cents...
Regards,
Carlos
Hi folks,
As you can tell from the title I'm a smartphone noob and didn't realise you couldn't do this (see the amount of people I've spoke to who didn't even notice you can't delete apps that come with the phone! What's with that?).
But as you can see I emphasised the 'why', 'cause I've searched everywhere but can't find a reason as to why. I'd assume it was just so you can't delete bloatware, but even the Nexus that runs on stock Android has the same issue.
Does anyone know why (or guess why) you can't delete preinstalled apps?
Thanks!
If your device is rooted, all you have to do is download Root Explorer from the market and delete the APK files from the system.
They're located in: /system/app/
You have to press "Mount R/W" on the top right of the application before you can read and write. Make sure hit "Mount R/O" in the same spot after you're done editing though. Also, make sure that what you're deleting isn't something you need and you should probably back-up the .APK files to be safe. If you mess up and don't back up, you can still just re-flash or re-download GAPPS without a problem. Have fun .
Thanks
I was thinking about rooting my phone actually, I'll check that out (I'm sooooo going to back up everything lol).
But! The question was WHY you can't delete the preinstalled apps. Does anyone know the reasoning behind it?
You're welcome mate .
Just for safety I suppose. And you should definitely root your phone, it'll open a whole new world for you!

That and basically without rooting your phone it's basically like a comps guest profile. A lot less can mess up if you can't play around with certain files/settings.
Makes sense.
Thanks folks
I am also unhappy that i cannot uninstall apps that came with the phone and i have yet to find a good reason as to why not. most of the apps i want to delete are free on the market, already compatible with my phone and can be deleted or uninstalled without causing any major issues.
tmpchr says "manufacturer /operator agreements..."
ok ill buy that, sounds like a good business opportunity, (i would do it) good advertising, shared/reduced costs...etc. but the end user should still have the option to remove.
I totally agree with you guys, at the very beginning I had so big apps installed on my device (motorola xt720), for instance MotoNav was about 1.5 GB and spoiled my battery life. Luckily I discovered how to root the device and now, using "root uninstaller" that you find in the market, all of them are just a memory
You could also use Titanium Backup to remove programs.
Hi,
My name is Chris, I work for a company called Mobile Genius.
We sell second hand mobile phones mainly on eBay, hoping to set up our own eCommerce site sooner rather than later. However this is not why I'm here. For a lot of issues with phones, from flashing to hard resetting a device, XDA has been great for me and really helped me out. So thanks to all the people who post here, and whoever takes the time to reply to me now.
We have a Z3X box and a piece of software called Chimera (only got Chimera 2 days ago). They save us a lot of money on unlocking devices. I've been looking into flashing all of our phones, as a lot come with passwords and data on already and they must be wiped before being sold. Does anyone know if it's possible to flash more than one phone at a time on the same computer?
Question 2:
Is there any kind of testing tool to test an Android device. For example, we must go through each device one by one, testing the speaker, ear piece speaker, microphone, buttons, touch screen, WiFi and other tests. This is a must, especially with second hand devices. We don't sell iPhones due to they seem to break easier than other phones (personal opinon, but I do have an iPhone myself ) So this would be needed for android devices only.
Question 3:
In regards to flashing devices. We are wondering whether it's possible to create your own branding, like how the networks add there branding so it is seen on the boot process and the wallpaper. How would one go in regards to adding this to each device. I was curious whether it's possible to make a file which can be flashed onto each device. For example when I use the Z3X box to change the network unlock code to 00000000 on an Ace 2 it requires me to root the device as it's unable to root the device automatically. The easiest way I found was to copy an update.zip file to the phones memory and then flash a pda file which is rooted and it then makes the device rooted) Is there a simple way I can have a pda file and flash it to the phone and it will keep the original software but just add branding with our logo? Or if anyone knows of a completely different way to do this but quickly I'd be very grateful for any advise.
If any of the above has been answered elsewhere, send me a link and call me a noob and I'll get the info from there.
Thanks
Chris

Yes, possibility exists for all three questions of yours.
Q1) You could make a wipe.bat file which wipes through adb, requires batch programming knowledge.
Or you could look under my signature. You will find an ultimate tool, it is basically a tool which can bend your Android in any way... It has wipe option factory reset
Q2)Yes, for MTK there's a built in function called engg. Mode which is used to detect errors, for other devices. Some bootloaders support factory mode. Which is also used for a complete checkup
Q3) Yes, your boot.img holds the Bootlogo (you can extract the boot.img from the tool in my signature and leave regards ) wallpaper also resides in system somewhere (forgot exact loc). And es EFS part can be reprogrammed but could be illegal (?)
