BB Connect

[ade0282]

Hi all,

Thus far has anyone managed to get any version of BB Connect running on WM6?

I have tried but with no joy :mad:

I also need help with this. The WM5 ROM had BB Connect pre-installed, but the WM6 one doesn't. Does anyone have the cab from the WM5 one?

Yes. Tonight I took the time to get things sorted. I now have WM6 and BBC 2.1.2.54 running. (Still no luck with BBC4)

Steps that I have done:

- Extracted the WM6 NBH (duttys tool)
- Hex-Edited the windows.nb
Original HEX string is:
4D3EA0E3063083E3452FA0E30510A0E302

New Hex string is:
1D3EA0E3013083E3452FA0E30510A0E301

This resulted in os version 5.1.465 (like the original WM5 for Athena)

- Used the Athena_upgrade package to flash this modified windows.nb to my device.

One word of warning when using this flash method: Be sure to read out the proper handle for the area where the .nb will be stored.
If you want the whole wm6 on your device do the full upgrade with one of the provided WM6-ROMs before flashing the above modified .nb.

- Don't forget to change the AKU to .3.3.1

Thanks to all involved people who provided the tools, wm6 and whatever. You have my greatest respect!

Cheers

Hi Cornholio: could you help me with more details on the process to charge into the pda this .nb file? I am not sure if needed to join in a full nbh all the diferent files with .nb after extract the rom or is needed only flash the os.nb

I tried unsucessfully the tools you mention and is not possible to charge the os. I think it is due my device is WM6 before..

Hi, you only need to flash the windows.nb file. It should also work if you already have WM6 on it. What has to be mentioned is that the itsutils in the Athena_Upgrade Package also did not work for me so I was unable to read out the handle and flash it, but I've downloaded the itsutils from here: http://nah6.com/~itsme/itsutilsbin-20070705.zip
and they worked without any problem.

Glad to hear that you figured it out. Sorry for not replying, but I didn't had the time to write a step-by-step guide.

i see that BB 4 works with Black, for 5.1.195. I tried some hacking for WM6 of Athena but BB 4 doesn't connect. I think it checks something more that the operative version.

BBC 4.* check the ModelID of the device also... hence wont work on an athena.... you have to wait for a version 4.0 for the Athena sorry...

do you know where it checks it? i have the idea of replace the header of the rom file, that says what device is it, but non sure if i coul brick the device.
