Hello,
I've recently bought an Imate Jasjar/M5000 device.
Is it possible to unlock it with any kind of software? (or maybe hardware changes?)
Thanks ahead,

There is no unlocking software available yet, though some of the Geniuses(or is that Genii or even Genies) of this forum are working at it.
Keep an eye on this thread for details of any progress:

I think there are problems specific to the Universal that are making the task difficult.[/url]
Hi all,
I would be buying a HTC P3600 in Dubai soon. The HTC site and the dealers here say that the trinity does not have a GPS.
Have read on this forum that having GPS is just a ROM update away. Having said that, how difficult (or easy) is it to flash the phone considering that I am an abject novice with PPC?
I would also love to have WM6 (with GPS ofcourse) on my phone. I know there is a ROM floating around this forum.
Here in Dubai we are not bound to any service providers so I will be buying an unlocked phone, so will the updated ROM work in my case?
Looking forward to the replies and do keep up the excellent work. This forum is one of the driving factors behind my decision to buy an HTC phone.
Warm regards,
Hiren

Great, now I look forward to buying the phone. Will keep the forum posted on my progress or lack of it .
I confirm there's no problem at all, even for non experts like me.
Just download the new rom from HTC site (50 MB), connect the P3600 , run the downloaded file and wait 10 minutes.
The only advise is to do a back-up of your P3600, as the upgrade will cancell everything.

This is sounding great. Thanks for the help mate.

If you buy a new Trinity/P3600 now, it may well come with GPS enabled anyway.
When you get it, tap Start/Settings, then the System tab (bottom of the settings screen) and then tap Device Information.
The 1st tab in Devcie Info is 'Version' and has a list of the ROM versions installed. Look at the Radio Version: if it ends in **.11, the GPS is already enabled. HTC's current ROM is 1.38.00.11, but ROM's from 1.30.00.11 were GPS enabled. If yours ends in **.10, then you need to update the Radio ROM.
Before going any further, and changing to WM6, which is still 'unofficial' and invalidates your warranty, I'd suggest getting familiar with the device and the OS. The differences between later versions of WM5 and WM6 are minimal!

Managed to check out the ROM of the Trinity's available in Dubai, its ending with .11, so that means its a GPS enabled one.
Now only if I had an idea about the other phones issues, I'd go out and buy one.

Any particualr issues that are bothering you?

2 of 'em actually. One is the motherboard and the other is the flaking paints.
I don't have long nails but I did try scratching the phone at the store but the paint did not chip off.
My heart is still set on this phone though. I will soon be going back to India (another couple of months) and I'm not sure whether 2 months are enough to get the issues fixed. The other alternative would be to wait for the Kaiser but time frame is still unknown.
Regards
For what concerns the paint, buy it white, it is not as beautiful as the black one, but at least it does not have this problem

Yeah, thats an option but only as a last resort.
HTC has issued a ROM update from WM5 to WM6 for the P4000.
It's available for download on the HTC America site...
http://www.america.htc.com/support/p4000/software-downloads.html
I hope this comes as good news to those of you waiting (as I have been) for the update to WM6.
Cheers,
Mick
AWESOME FIND!! this is what i've been waiting for since i bought my p4000!
I been checking the Screen Capture in the WEB PAGE for this ROM at HTC and comparing with mine (I Have a MOGUL) and there is some difference with my ROM installed (the last one for the MOGUL, with the SPRINT MUSIC STORE), look a little more updated, I'm just wondering if i can install this ROM (supposedly only for TELUS) in my Sprint MOGUL without any problems.....THANKS
Well, as with the GSM HTC devices, you may need to play with your carrier ID... basically, every carrier brands their devices so that you don't "mess up" and install an update for the wrong device (if its the wrong hardware, the update WILL brick your phone).
Since the Telus and Sprint device in question are the same hardware, it should work. The trick is to fool the updater into working.
This isn't simple, and I'm not sure if anyone has done it yet with the Titan.
QUESTION FOR THOSE THAT HAVE INSTALLED THIS:
are you getting the bluetooth bug that is plaguing the spring Mogul users? How about the directdraw problems?
Does any one still have the ROM?
The site does not exist. HTC has removed the upgrade for this phone... I was wondering if any one still has the copy of this rom?
Hello all. Im asking this question for a friend. I currently have the tilt, and he is picking up his first windows mobile phone today the xv6800 from verizon. For my phone I have kaiser tweaks, will that work for his phone? Or is there another version for his phone? thanks

Hey guys i need some help,
I'm looking for the latest original roms for my HTC Niki P500 (Touch Dual) on the UK Orange network.
Does anyone know where i can get the latest original debranded roms.
Also where can i get an unlocking code for the HTC Niki.
thanks in advance
Hi there, I used OliPro's Nike Unlocker (which I googled) to unlock my HTC Touch Dual on Orange UK. It cost £5.40 but is well worth it IMO. I now have an O2 sim card in it.
What network do you want to use on the phone? You'll have to let me know how the signal is when using a SIM from a new network.
How did unlocking it go?
Unfortunalty i didn't get it unlocked, but i'm still trying to find official Roms for the device to either debrand or upgrade to WinMo 6.1.
Tried contacting HTC and got no information what so ever and Orange customer services guided me through the process of finding the relevent Orange webpage but the Handset isn't listed.
so i'm back to square one!!
thanx anyway
Hi there Robbiejuk08
I am new to this forum and have never seen a forum like this before for people asking questions and not getting any reply. Anyway as far as I know you need to get phone unlocked first. Then you will need a serial number from a generic htc. In other words one that has came from htc and not orange or any other operators. Then you go to the htc site and you will be able to upgrade phone with the generic serial number. But as I have found out it is impossiable to get generic serial number in the forums as people just are not prepared to give you their serial number.
Hahaha, I pushed the thank you button for you,
First of all, welcome,
It's great that you are willing to help people, that is the spirit, but unfortunaly this post was more then two years old
But you did it with the right intention so thumbs up.
Have fun,
