MDA Compact II and WiFi

[maddinel]

Hi,
I have a MDA Compact II device and a Spectec SDW-820 WiFi card. The WiFi card doesn't work with my device although I installed the driver for Windows Mobile 5.0.
Now I saw in this forum that the MDA Compact II device is missing one or two dll files and a registry entry.
Now I ask you what files are missing and what does I have to insert in the registry?

Ironically, you saw the posts in the forum and yet you do not know the full status? The missing files and registry method does not seems to work.

Look at the link from 'funkus', none of the method they tried actually work. They are waiting for updates from T-Mobile.

No joy with the file and reg settings. The problem with this is that the MDA Compact II is not rebranded (sold) under any other name so there is no alturnative source for there reg settings and file [EDIT: Dopod 818 pro may be the answer]I have tried files and reg setting from varous machines but nothing seems to solve the issue (probably beacuse there are device specific).

EDIT: The files used in the first reg/file method were incorrect, persuing method again with correct files from the Dopod 818 pro (see link)


I assume that the files only exist on the device untill the customisation takes place, then the t-mobile rom borks them, so logically if you can prevent the customisation, you can use wifi without problems.

EDIT: Files are still absent but flashing device with Dopod 818 pro os seems to restore some comm manager program and some important dll files.


See Here for my latest attempt at a fix, i seem to be getting alot of help :)

I just really need to know exactly what is in the t-mobile rom, im worried that ill end up missing out on something. also if i unlock my Compact II will it allow the officil t-mobile rom to load again?

EDIT: It does, just be carful and use CID Unlock before you flash and the official T-Mobile exe prodction rom works fine....restored perfectly.

It seems that the charmer (compact II) and WM5 uses a different SDIO solution than the compact itself.

it doesnt use the files and reg used in the other thread, it uses three files called 'HSDcard.dll, SDBus.dll and OMAP850_SDHC.dll' which apparently is not the bsquare solution that the compact/WM2003SE uses, but the MSFT solution now used by charmer/WM5.

I wasn't given any other info than that, but maybe the files from the Prophet devices may hold some more hope than the other windows mobile 5 devices?

HTC also state that the only ones they claim to work are the following:

Sandisk-SDWSDB-256
Socket 802.11b SDIO WLAN Card
SyCHIP-WLAN6060SDX
and apparently they work on the AKU 1.1.2 and AKU 2 roms
