HI friends I am looking for a ROM for my ORANGE SPV3100 with preinstalled theft alert system. I have lost one PDA in which I installed a theft alert software but as the thief might have hard reset the device before using it the whole protection failed. Somebody told me to have a customized ROM with theft protection software pre-installed in it. So that even in case the thief hard-reset I should be able to get the alert. I need Your help seniors & friends as that would save a lot of money & a dear PDA from getting lost in wrong hands.
Regards

PS:I am using official Orange SPV 3100 ROM of APRIL 2007. Is there an way of putting that software in to it.
55views but not a single reply.. No offence but is it so hard that people finding it so hard to reply on thia novel concept. Anyway still looking for replies from seniors & techiesss...
Here, I'll reply.
I have no idea.
That's probably what the other 55 views were thinking, too. No point posting, "I dunno" posts really, is there?
I suspect that the reason there is no one posting is because usually that anti-theft type software isn't free, so if people were to put it into their cooked ROM's and post it online, it would be illegal.
Your best bet would be to purchase the software and cook it into your own ROM (without redistributing it). I could be wrong however, so correct me if i am
i also want to add theft protection to mine in the same manor as you described, are there any guides on how to do this?
just dumping into extended rom?
Simple anti theft protection
It is hard-reset resistive and even resistant to after_theft_new_rom_download procedure:
- you need small single paper where you write your IMEI number and police phone number and keep it secure.
-in case your PDA is stolen, take out your small peace of paper, call police number and give them IMEI from your stolen PDA.
Police together with mobile providers is usually locating SIM-card users of stolen mobiles in no more than one day after switching on.
Mentioned procedure is under GPL so you can use it and spread it anywhere and anytime.
Thanx all of You people for Your views but I have purchased a software for this & I want to put it in to my ROM. Thats what I wanna know if there is anybody who can do it for me. I believe in buying something instead of cracking it & using it illegal but on the other hand I am concerned about my hard earned money going in to hell. May I know seniors if anybody there who knows how to do this trick. I will be very thankful to You as this would increase my faith in XDA.Forum capabilities of standing with good ideas & techniques. Cheers

learn to cook (it is not hard today with the pandora kitchen)
purchase or get the soft, make OEM package of it,
cook it with Pandora and you good
if you want other skilled people to do it customized for you rom you should offer a price you prepare to pay to this skilled people
do it yourself or be willing to pay for service (customized only for you) or to ask someone to make you a favor ,
you are asking for a favor
good luck
edward
@edward-riko, Thanx for Your valuable suggestion. May I know which is the most easiest way of doing the things You have mentioned here. I mean any software that can help me putting that software in to that ROM. This is not something of my concern rather the kind of response once You will have this kind of ROM is going to be enormous. I believe there is one .NBH file which contains everything. Plz guide me as to its making & other requirements & any wrong consequences for my PDA with that self cooked ROM. Looking for Your reply.
Regards

I don't know if that will help but I remember about 1,5 year ago on the buzzdev forum (http://buzzdev.net) one guy posted a thread about a software that will read the phonenumber from the SIM in case it is changed and it will SMS it to a predefined number, revealing in that way the number of the thief. The developer required a personal request for this in order to hard code the license in the software that would be purchased. Don't remember price. (Search on the Himalaya 2005 section)

Hello
So far over thirty views on this post and not one response.
If i have to pay for a fix i will.
It would be nice if someone could help thats all.
PLEASE
Well I've spending most of my time trying to find the thread that has already addressed this issue, but have been unable to locate it.
Anyhow if I remember correctly the thread talked about leaving the unit in the cradle while on until it booted on its own.

I think you are mistaking this forum for a paid-for support service.
If you look for Radio Stack Upgrades on this forum (or any place else on the net), you would notice lots of things can go wrong during these upgrades. These problems appear to stem from various sources, and there's not one easy solution. Our official advice is never to upgrade the RSU until you really, really, really have to, and know that the upgrade will fix know issues that are bothering you. You would also see your general question has been dealt with in detail many times before, which may be the reason people did not jump to answer your question promptly.
On recovery from RSU problems: many people have claimed success from various rescue methods, whose recipes you will find on this forum if you use the search function. If neither of these help, you'll have to send the unit in for service. Radio upgrade problems really show a main design weakpoint of the XDA. But hey, we didn't design it, and we didn't sell it to you either. We're just assembled here to help ourselves, and as many other people as we can. On behalf of this entire community, I apologize for the fact that we couldn't help you as promptly as is the obvious birthright of someone of your stature.
I can sense you're someone special. You post your problem and expect the perfect answer within 24 hours. If you don't get it, you then top it off by writing a post with subject '**** you all', and say you will buy a Sony Clie instead. Now I could tell interesting stories about something which Sony calls 'customer support', but I will not. Our world is a better place if you buy a Clie, and yours may be too. I'm sure many people on this forum would be more than happy to provide suggestions as to what to do with your old XDA.
No I do not think im special, nor do i think this is a "pay for fix" service.
I received my xda prior to release as my company writes software for the XDA. I have been reviewing this forum since it first started, when the only way to get round the sim-lock was to force a software error.
Yes things have progressed...a great deal, and it is by far the best xda site on the web. I recommend this site daily to associates and clients daily,
but it would also seem that some people have a "greater than thou" elitest attitude, and ignore any post which does not challenge their supreme intellect.
I would have been more than happy with a simple "go to this thread" rather than being passed over because my problem is not interesting.
I fly to Saudi on Tuesday, so if anyone wants a mint xda with cradle. then you can have it for free.
If anyone also wants the IPR for xda software that will make them alot of money then let me know. The concept has been tested and the IBM labs in Winchester have agreed to lend any equipment required.
Regardless of your sarcastic undertones, thank for for at least posting a reply.
I am very new to this high tech stuff, I have a usa t-mobile mda vaio, which i paid to unlock. I know, i could have done it for free, but i could not figure it out. In doing some reading i think i want to unlock my cid, and i want to turn my omapclock speed up to 240. And what about updating my Rom. And how do i back up my file, if necessary. And please easy directions if possible. My phone is off, because of a $4000 dollar internet bill, because they would not give me the code, when i went overseas and used the internet for 7 days. What a surprise. But my wifi still works. Help please.
Rom version: 1.8.10.2 wwe
Rom date: 12/10/05
Radio version: 01.09.10
Protocal vers: 4.0.13.20
ExtRom vers: 1.8.10.104
I dont have a clue as to what this means, but it looks old, compared to everyone else.
wow
wow, what a great forum. I have a million responses. I want to say thank you for all who helped.
this has all has been covered elsewhere, ad nauseum, over and over and over again right here on this very site. Spending a little time looking for things like "omapclock" and then reading them will answer all your questions and then some. For the-universe-revolves-around-me service, they take paypal.
MDA Vaio? So you're saying that Sony and HTC teamed up to build a laptop/Pocket PC hybrid? I'd like to know where I can get my hands on one of these.

People won't help you because its already been said. Your just a waste of bandwidth. You sound like a little kid, i want this, i want that.
You want to OC' 240, then keep reading that thread noob.
AND THE SARCASM WAS NECCESARY, maybe that's why no body is helping. No one is your slave to check every minute and answer your post. :evil:
people here seem to think that lazy people should die, when in all reality theyre just as lazy.
to cid unlock it you need ot get lokiwiz software. if youve already upgraded to 2.26, its too late to cid unlock it. to overclock, get omapclock.exe. i use that program in conjunction with smartskeys personally, because the smartskeys.ini file has customizable overclock settings.
thats a start partner, but youll hafta do the legwork yourself cuz im lazy too haha
Thank you. For the response. The only other thing that i have done is down load skype which i think is great. I can admit i am not a computer geek, but I am great in my field. Mortgage financing. So yes i am clueless, and could maybe use a little extra help. And if there is someone out there who could use some mortgage help. I am here. I just dont want to fry my mda.

Doesn't matter if you're clueless. As long as you can use the search functions, and bother to take some time to read thru the endless amount of information in these forums. Then you too can be as logical as I have become in the past few months when I originally didn't know a damn thing.
Thanks again. This is the program i used to unlock the phone. http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3000unlock.php. Did this also unlock the cid? And if yes, how can i tell? And what about backing up the program. So based on the spec's i have listed on my phone, what should i up grade, beside's the omapclock i think to 240.
Well you ddint' need to waste your money. You can unlock your phone for free if you would have bothered to search and read through the results.
Search -> CID Unlock -> Choose wizard forum to search through
Search -> Backup -> Choose wizard forum to search through
You either seem to be lacking common sense or need your hand held through every step.
lol.

Have you not read all this, he is clueless! Sorry i am in the look and you will findout. I come on here everyday and I find something new. But i started from not knowing a thing!! but now I can show my friends these cool things. IT's not hard to look and learn.
Just Maybe.................
Just a quick suggestion to any moderators or site managers
These "Why dont you use the search function" threads come up time and time again.
The problem for noobs doing a search is the (sometimes) many many pages of post to wade through.
Even if you happen to chance on the exact answer, how do you know you have found it when one thread may contain 3,4 or 5 examples of how to solve a problem??? I give an example, Tomtom 6, or any gps related problem.
I spent a total of 4hrs 10mins on MSN with one user who was having problems with his GPS and TT. I didn't mind in the least, but after lots of hair tearing, we found the problem was his GPS wasnt in a place to recieve a decent GPS signal, i.e. a window cill. :shock:
Joking aside, is there any way of having either locked stickies or a seperate forum for each device to have HOW TO's??
There are many people on here that could easily write a guide, post it and then have it locked so the thread doesn't spiral out of control.
Maybe some of them would be happy to recieve PM's if there was a legitimate problem with either that guide or for the varying device configurations?
And before I get flamed, Its just a suggestion. :wink:
Jerry I agree 100%. This is the one of the forums I have found that does NOT have stickies for often asked about topics.
I also feel that this site needs a kick in the ass with a little patience.
You can tell none of these people work in customer service. THink of it this way...if you are spending 4 or more hours on here a day you are passionate about this topic and you would think you want others to become passionate too which will advance the demand for more of these type of sites and products. You really think giving these noobs as you call them a hard time when they first try and learn about this stuff will help anyone? Except save you precious time to search something else or maybe give you a chance to bust another noobs dreams of learning something about his/her new gadget.
This is the only reason I do not visit this site. Not that I need it but none the less. A real bunch of asses here if you ask me.....
Guys and Girls
The use search is a true pain in the ass if you dont understand what you are doing. It has its own laws and also words that it will never find. I have been here for a year and I still cant work it out. But I agree its a start. Nothing will change untill we move to new software for the fixxing is just to costly.
Sure the same post and answer comes up on this forum, over and over agian. There are still people that spend the time to point people in the right direction.
Stickys, well we have them and still they are not read, more we have more time it takes to move down the list for some meat.
Solution. WIKI, edit the pages and the information and point people to it.
And please, lets see if we can use some nice language, I am all for free speach but we all diserve a bit of respect.

so what happens if i lose my wizard and i didnt have IIWPO on it. i have my IMEI. is there any way of tracking it down or not???
What is IIWPO?
Unless you set your owner information to show up on resume, setup some tracking service, or affixed your information to the housing of the device, no. There isn't a tracking system built into the HTC Wizard (or any phone to my knowledge).
Unless someone uses one of those previously mentioned methods to contact you your phone is lost. You could, of course, backtrace your steps to find it, but these are commonsense things you should be trying anyways.
Nothing anyone here can do to help you, cept maybe sell you another.
Not really, you need (AFAIK) operator level equipment to track a phone by IMEI. And frankly, given that the IMEI changer is available on this site for free, it probably won't have the same IMEI for long. Just report to your operator and buy a new one.
Sorry for the loss tho!

Hmm...you are right, these people have been lying. I just clicked and followed this link sent to me by a friend, and now I'm the owner of a WM6 (not 5! it's soo much better) device! Try it out!
backend.htc.com/developers/magician/wm6/source/bin/nk.nb0
magician upgrade
hey guys if u r all genius who make wm6 rom for devices older than magician then, just tell me why the chinese made smartphones & pda's can run wm5/6 though there hardware is much more lower then magician, and why i said that u were funded by companies is, because i m not smart like u so one thing that i didnt get is why the reasons have been changing for NO WM5 FOR MAGICIAN from 1) lack of ram, then 2) lack of rom, to 3) no drivers & 4)nk.nbf problem AND SO ON, If rom was problem then this forum itself provides link for 64mb to 128mb & still no wm5, doesn't this all seems to be like som kind of lack of intrest, or too many coincedencs in the device, PLEASE dont TAKE IT PERSONALLY but to my other friend who also answered my post i would only say that if i were also genius ass like him, then i would'nt have been in the forum. One more thing is that why do so many people seems to be claiming that they have seen wm5 on magician,
magician wm5 bcoz
no i m not calling the founders of the forum assholes, i m just saying that that when jam 128mb=charmer or so they say then why cant a charmer rom be customized for magician. u r the most experiencd people in this community, but i get a feeling that u did not give it your best try due to other prospects

You make it sound as if it is an obligation for someone to provide you with something, tell you what, how about being productive and learn to customize at least the 2003SE OS (so you would know at least the feel on how difficult it is for rom cookers) and provide us with at least a customized version like taxist(not texas) has made for the magician instead of whining and bellowing obnoxious and disrespectful statements which would not in any way encourage or at the very least strike an interest for any person to develop ROMS for the magician.
Whatever reasons they may have for not developing further may include other personal reasons other than your far fetched conspiracy theory, and if you cant contribute something which has the slightest merit in this forum then i say, shut up and respect them dumbass!
yeah! we need wm5 or wm6/6.1

Stop bad language for Magician
Come on, guys! please stop using bad language because you just can't get what you want from this forum. Everyone even tries to offer freebies. No WM5/WM6/WM6.1 for you because failure in trying. Try but faill. Try and fail. Last but not least, try by yourself. If you, Magician owners, succeed at even attempting to create WM5/WM6/WM6.1 Magician ROMs, that would be great. Thank god you truly did it.
please stop fighting and behave like sensible forum members.
Thanks
May not be correct term, but here's what I mean.
Some programs installed on one of the HD2s don't like to be re-installed... It generates new license and requires activation. That by itself is painful...
My thought was if there is some program that backs up and restores programs.
To be able to clone that program into second HD2
If anyone has any suggestions, really appreciate your help!!!

Circumventing the installation process by any means is illegal in the US and most of the EU. You may keep "backup" copies of the working binaries and installation programs in most cases, but anything else is nearing the shady world of software piracy.
Thanks!! It's real helpful!
I always struggled with the legal questions.
On the other hand decision will be mine, to try or not to try, that is the learning curve.
Just want to find out if there is something that can do the job.
Thanks a lot!!!
xda dev forum rules are very strict about cracking software. you won't get an answer, and you may get a ban.
I don't know guys where in my post you found anything about cracking something....
I do not have any intentions of doing that. What I'm asking is, if there is some program to transfer the content from one HD2 to another...... And the question is more theoretical than practical. May be this question will be easier to answer....
By the way, moding several sites myself, I always follow the the rules of the places I visit.
Thanks.

What they're saying is that IF something like that did exist, it would possibly be in violation of software licensing (the licenses for paid software apply to a single device in most cases), and therefore taboo to discuss here.
Trust me, even though the question was theoretical in nature, that's something we have to toe the line about here, in the interest of self-preservation of the site/community.
