[Q] windows mobile

hey,
well obviously I'm a newbie here and i needed to know if anyone can help me find a download link for windows mobile?it crashed on my Siemens pocketloox and i lost my cd so i've been looking everywhere for a downloadable version but i can't find one.
thanks in advance.

Dude a pda is not like a pc where you can freely install any OS you wish... The official Windows Mobile versions must be provided by your manufacturer (there isn't a Universal version per say... if you try to flash the version of another device you'll kill your phone). You may try to check Fujitsu-Siemens homepage for an official ROM update or contact them if needed
Over the net you may find ROMs for pda but bare in mind these are device specific and your device usually needs to be hacked in order to install unofficial versions (your device seems to be quite old... I don't believe you'll find any rom here since xda is almost HTC land).
Also what do you mean by crashed? Did you brick it (OS won't start... all you get is a black screen)? Have you tried removing/reinserting the battery and restarting?

the start menu suddenly has no icons,and neither the camera shortcut button nor the notes one are working.basically,it just opens and almost everything is disabled.

The easy solution is...
Just hardreset the device (seach here) and it will reset your device to factory defaults (it's like a format+reinstall)... Problem solved.
Just make sure you backup your data (photos, contacts, messages...) before because everything will be erased

thanks a lot man it worked.

Installation question

Hi all,
I am completely new to smartphones, etc. searching the web I found reference to:
[APP][v1.1 release]Enhance your phone in one amazing toolbox——ZDbox by Ikaola and signed up and downloaded the file. My problem now is I do not know what to do with it. How do I install it?
It seems from the replies/comments that this is a very useful application.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Don't bother
mate, if you are completely new to smartphones, then you shouldn't be messing with something you don't understand. I have been using my Desire (first smartphone) for 8 months almost, and I know I still know crap about it despite rooting it and flashing it.
Stay away from the toolbox and play with the phone in other ways.
Alternatively, if you want an easy way to install apps (.apk), go to your Market app and search for appinstaller. Using your SD card to download various apps from here and wherever else, you can install them without HTC Sync or a computer at all.
Cheers.

Thanks
Thank you for the advice.
When I posted the question I wasn't thinking clearly. I had downloaded the app to my PC and then wondered how to get it installed on the phone. The logical thing would have been to download directly to the phone. I will try to be more alert before asking another dumb question.
Thank you for your courtesy.

you can connect your phone to your PC in usb storage mode and transfer it to your sd card. from there I recommend using Astro file Manager from the market place to install it.

Question about installing Android after installing Windows Phone 7 on HTC HD2

Hello it's been a while that I have installed Windows phone 7 on my HD2.. (the first release from DFT I think)
But, atm I can't use at work to connect to the wifi because my MAC Adress always change...
So I wanted to put back Android but without uninstall anything.
I don't want to loose my data/config/activation from my wp7, I just want to install android in dual boot.
Anyone have successfully installed Android after WP7 but without reinstalling both?
Sorry for my english...
I have post in this thread because isn't only about HD2.

I think that you will find that the vast majority of users in this forum have WP7 handsets and so will not be able to assist you.
Logic dictates that you will have more luck in the HD2/Leo forums as the members there actually own the handset in question.
Kind Regards,
Creamy

yes, thanks for the answer, but I don't want to post twice (maybe an admin will move this?) and it can be for any wp7 device.
If anyone want to install an android system he has to reset their phone, format the partition and then loose all data/installed programs from windows phone...
Isn't specific to HD2, so I hope anyone has got the same problem as I have

Actually, this is a question ONLY for the HD2. Android cannot be installed on a WP7 handset (yet). So you are much better off posting in the HD2 forums.

Yeah, the hd2 is, generally, one of the most beastly phones to ever exist. You can even run older versions of windows, and newer versions of nonmobile Linux distros on it!!

Hope this helps, it did for me, also all the tool links are there too, I have mine running and even have TS3 full version, working on my Android side.

I do have a feeling though, that you will need to reset your win 7 side, as you will need to create and format your sd card for it to work, unless you are able to do this without the phone, then you could create the partition, but then you still need both partitions, as your win phone 7 side, will need storage space.
You will have to follow the guide to the letter, I did mine a few days ago and all is sweet, my android side is different to whats in the guide, but at least it is listed what i am running in my siggy.Best of luck and message if you need help.

More help to you, I hope.

Just a note, I actually cloned my storage on the sd card for the hd2, before I went about reinstalling, I was able to create the sd partitions for wp7 and android, then I copied the windows one back over, that way I saved all my downloaded apps.
If you are not sure about this, then you will have to bite the bullet and just wipe and reinstall, just take a note of things before you do.
You will be able to reactivate the phone by calling microboffs,via chat help, thats what I did, they gave me a key, straight away for free.....

ups didn't know we can't install from another wp device... so if an admin can move the topic...
hm, I'll try promethieus...
I'll try to backup the sd data then we will see... but didn't think it will works

[Completed] Converting HTC Manager Contacts

Hello guys,
I have installed a custom ROM on my HTC ONE V phone after doing a backup with the HTC Sync Manager. I updated the firmware (Hellboy) and then played with a bunch of different ROMs. I think I did a backup with clockwork at some point on it but I don't think I can find it between the other folders on the phone. Main problem as soon as I installed the custom ROM I was unable to connect it with the computer anymore. First of all it displayed only the USB Mass USB connection, tried a lot of times with various different ROMs to enable via terminal mtp or ptp with no luck (computer sees it only as an external drive and HTC manager doesn't see it at all).
So I would try to revert it back to the custom ROM which looks to be even more of a hassle then installing a custom rom. Anyway, I have a new phone that I'm using now and only care for my backup contacts. I see them on my computer on AppData but they are encrypted and have the XML extension. Is there any software that can import that data into content that can be used?
Thanks!

Hi,
First, are you using Sense based roms? Only Sense based will have HTC sync. Without Sense and HTC sync, the computer just sees a random device. Trying a Sense rom, or flash back to stock will likely let you see your contacts again.
So, for more insight and help with your contacts, you will need to ask about it in your device section, here...
> HTC One V > One V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Good luck!

I just wanted to say that you're a life saver mate. Thank you so much! You took 5 mins of your time to post a reply on my thread and I saved hours or maybe more of research for this stupid issue. As soon as I searched a sense enabled ROM and install it and as soon as I realized that I can access my device from my computer using fastboot instead of adb when the device is in bootloading mode (I was trying to ping my device with "adb devices") everything went smoothly. I flashed a proper boot, a new sense-enabled ROM, I synced with my HTC Sync Manager, exported my contact list (for some reason it didn't automatically - basically never synced the contact lists), imported the contact list into my google account and bam! It appeared on my new telephone like some magic.
Wow, well done my friend!

Thank you. Thread closed.

[Completed] Polatab elite q10 need to completely format it and reinstall kitkat

hello ,
i am hoping for some help . i have very little android experience and knowledge , but here is the info and problem i have on my mums tablet .
tablet is normally only used by her for emails and net surfing and has standard install and set up as it came out of the box . running android kitkat .
8 yr old grandson downloaded some free games and an app to run them ( i wasn't present for this so have no info on what he did or didn't do) , the next time the tablet was turned on a load of porn app icons had appeared on the home screen and the web browsers have been hijacked by rstep.xbkptek.com , and pop ups keep appearing with some zombie cartoon strip on them or bubble games , which then turn to porn . I have run malware removers and done a factory reset , but the web hijacker is still there and the trojan is still in the system apps (system/app/rstech_teni)
, it won't let me uninstall or disable it . someone suggested i look for the device on these forums to do a team win recovery and sidled the os back on . i have searched for the device and it isn't listed here , does anyone know how I can recover this device ?

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
It's possible the tablet got rooted with one of the apps, and the malicious app got moved to the system partition to be persistent. Or it could be, as a factory reset does not remove all files on the userdata partition, the malicious app(s) keep getting leveraged.
For the latter, it's just a situation of wiping everything on the userdata partition, and then doing a factory reset for safe measure. Can do that with connecting the device to a PC, using mass storage or MTP, and then going on a delete frenzy. You may need to force close some apps first though.
If it's the former, you will need a recovery image. This could be attained by contacting the manufacturer, and then flashing it the method they determine (as the method is different by OEM). There is another option if it is rooted, but it is risky if you don't know which app files are safe and which are not.
At any rate, please go ahead and create an XDA account, so you can post in other forums. You can try posting in the > General discussion > Questions and Answers > [HELP THREAD] Ask ANY Question. Noob Friendly thread. Anyone with general knowledge of all devices should be able to pick this one up for you.
Hope this helps, and good luck!

thank you , i have tried the latter 5 times and still have the problem trojan , so have contacted the manufacturer as suggested . I will create an account once i receive a reply

Good luck! Per RC request, this thread has been closed.
