M600 W800 Cannot receiving SMS, only send SMS!!!. Rom available.

[jjae6]

My name is jjae6, and I have some experience with pna (acer d100) in another forum (spanish)

I bought one of these mobile. cectc w800 ????¿¿¿¿
http://cgi.ebay.es/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=140181272179

This mobile seems Artemis P800 model or htc P330 model o Dopod W800 or Cect model, but and "Control Panel -System" mark M600 ??¿¿¿ Artemis M600????, the system is a windows mobile 5 english.

In phone -Settings- Services i select "Voice Mail and text messages" and the system returns with "get seetings" the number service center....all ok.

I have access to the SIM system .. SIM contacts, I do voice calls and receive voice calls, gps ok, all ok.. except...

1 found 1 problem: cannot receive SMS!!! with "Messaging Program" (only send ok)

I try this : the sms found (receive) via "SIM manager" program ,but not displayed in INBOX folder Automatically of "Messaging" program. ¿¿¿????

I think it must be a software problem (bad rom update WM5 english) or settings missing in the registry...., Or anything else corruption or fault software.... Sim manager, tmail or another dll

He made hard reset, reset, remove battery, and I installed other SMS readers and sender, but all are based on "tmail" system....

I even installed another mail handler "tmail" independently: "flexmail" and the same, cannot receiving SMS, only send SMS!!!.

Does anyone know how to fix this? (sms inbox cannot receive) .

I searched all over the forum and I have not found anything. Are there other models that will pass something similar?

I have done a ROM DUMP (itsutils pdocread) if someone wants to see.., znd I can also search the registry. Please help.

Any solution, Please.

Excuse my bad english.

Thanks.
jjae6

[jjae6]

Here is my system rom dump
I think that is not like anything in a artemis system...¿¿???
I think it is a system based on ETEN rather than a artemis... At control panel system mark M600 and the default programs installed write PREI-ETEN...
and In bootloader section, there is a hex mark that puts
"G500 Booter(LB) v0.2 (for PCB v.0.4) Build Date: Nov 22 2005 Total 64MB DRAM Total ??MB DRAM Total 32MB DRAM ..."


#1. Someone I can help with the issue of SMS reception? Thanks.
and
#2. This ppc is a Artemis or Eten system?

Thanks.

EDITED AT 02/26/2008:
In subsequent posts clarifies that the seller Chinese have loaded a original ETEN G500 ROM in a different hardware (Cect? W800), almost that does not work.....

[ikar]

I have the same problem with sms. In my cect w800 don't work reset switch. I think cect w800 it's clone of eten g500

[aot]

So no way to upgrade to WM6? I have a problem once do a soft reset by reset button , Mobile doesn't work until you remove the battery and put back. Anyone help . The system says M600 . CPU samsung 400MHz ROM 128M SDram 64M.
Appreciate your help

My w800 has the same problems.
After software reset devices: RIL1, GSM7, GSM9 are unloaded. Manual start don't work.

[jjae6]

I have the same problem with sms. In my cect w800 don't work reset switch. I think cect w800 it's clone of eten g500

He made several roms dumps from binary file:. (eten m500, m600, m700 and w800 system)

I read the contents of these files through a hex editor

#1. m500_wm5 and file:Rilgsm.dll
d:\wm511\platform\m500\src\drivers\rilgsm\atcmd.cp p

#2. m600_spanish215 and file:Rilgsm.dll
d:\wm511\platform\m600\src\drivers\rilgsm\atcmd.cp p

#3. M700_WWE_0354 and file: RilgsmAKU3.dll
g:\wm530\platform\mn1\platform\mainstoneii\src\dri vers\rilgsmaku2_net_20061226\ttpcom\gsm\atcmd.cpp

And finally:

#4 W800 and file:Rilgsm.dll
e:\wm522\platform\m600\src\drivers\rilgsmaku2\atcm d.cpp

Comparing other files, I can say it is based on a system M600, but without WiFi, and possibly with other distribution chip hardware.

I have read in this forum and eten: and even the M700 and X500 Eten systems have problems receiving messages, I found some patches that replace some files: rilgsm and mux. Patch for those systems M700 and X500, but not operate in the W800.

That's all for now.

[jengitsme]

Hi everybody,
I have an w800 too, to get the sms try at "SIM Manager" and then touch on "Menu"/"SMS Management"
I have Spanish version with WM5, have you guys discovered how to put WM6 on it?
What do you think it will happen if i install an htc p3300 rom on it (it may not have the same hardware)? i would like to upgrade to wm6 with b&b, but i'm afraid if i install it, it won't work the xda at all
I have made a rom backup up with itsutils, do you think i will be able to recover the xda with it if things go wrong? (i don't know how to use that .pak files...)

Hope the info would be useful to you.
Thanks for your replies!

[aot]

This W800 has peculiar problem. Once you do a soft reset the GSM fails to come back up until battery is removed and put back. Any one knows this issue and any fix? Also the voice quality is not that good and takes quite some time may be 10mins to sync up with GPS program. Gps is detected by sync up with satellite takes 5 to 10mins sometimes even longer

[samsungq1]

Hi,

I too have the CECT W800 also bought of ebay. I have it on the virgin network in the UK and all ok so far. I've also tried it on Orange network with no problem sending and recieving texts. I have noticed a few times it does lose signal and it wont come back on till i remove and replace the battery. Does any know of a way to power off the CECT W800 without having to remove the battery?

I too want to try different roms but i'm afraid to try them incase they damage the CECT W800 or i cant get it back to original settings if they go wrong.

Has anyone else in the UK got one of these phones?

Thanks,

Mick

I tried to 3 Vodafone Spain SIM.
Even I asked Vodafone with a new sim, and appears the same mistake, only sends sms, not receiving!!!.
Vodafone Spain said his SMS Vodafone Server is configured well, and should be a terminal problem. ???¿¿¿ Soft or hard problem ¿¿??

I have good news:
I got my ROM dump (w800) and compare with another dump (eten m600+), and is practically a ROM copy of eten M600+, but seeing the plastic casing outside, it looks like another model (HTC p3300)


Ikar, can you write in this forum, your windows mobile version? (Start - Settings - System Tab - About)
My system is WM5.0 ver OS 5.1.195 (Build 14928.2.2.0). Thanks.

I have the same problem with my w800, if the battery gets empty and i turn on the phone again it does not get any signal until battery is removed... if you can solve the problem, please tell me.
Have you tried to look for your new sms at "SIM Manager" and then on "Menu"/"SMS Management", i think you can get your new sms, but the phone does not give any advice about new messages.
My system version is the same as yours.
Do you think a eten m600+ rom will work on the cect w800? i would like to put wm6 on my terminal...
I have found that the "cect w800" is also known as "zhi zun w800"
I have uploaded a registry backup of the CECT W800 REGISTRY for those who want to help us here: http://rapidshare.com/files/80283810/Registry_backup_image_CECT_W800.ceimg.html

Yes, in the first announcement I write that: only works with simmanager.
The Rom M600+ files... appear to be the same W800 rom files... but certainly within the "bootloader mode" will not let you enter and update another ROM (m600+)... Because a hardware model W800 verification...

and What is the company of your SIM? Vodafone?

Best Regards.

P.D: you have a private message in Spanish (quehacemoslosdosaquíhablandoeningles ;-) ).

Is fm radio working in your w800 ?

[jengitsme]

I haven't tried using the fm radio, but i have read that you must plug the earphones because it's the radio's antenna.

Hello i buy from ebay my w800


Can you change language for other? spanish?, french? italian?

It's a copy of HTC P3300 or ETEN M600?

Can you flash with WM6? in language?

Thanks

Hi Ikar,

My FM radio wont work either, its first time i tried it since i got it. I've also noticed some of the preinstalled programs have the word ETEN before their names. If you go into the and and remove programs they ae listed there.

They are,

ETEN OEM Customization,
ETEN GPS Indicator,
ETEN FM Tuner,

Is there another FM tuner we could download and try using the supplied headphones?

[jengitsme]

My w800 does not come with any program with ETEN word on them, it does not come with any extra applicacion i think...
In wich language is your wm version? Mine is Spanish.

Hi ikar, I now downloading & Unpacking & testing your dump version.
Note: Pdocread show in your console ROM backup "The parameter is incorrect", this is due to pdocread looking for a extendend partition TrueFFS, and the W800 does not exist this partition (that is correct)


Are You sure - rom w800 is copy of rom eten m600+?
There isn't gps in M600+.


Not absolutely, I think w800 is based on the same base M600+ source code.

The file rilgsm.dll of M600+ version show:
d:\wm522\platform\m600\src\drivers\rilgsmaku2\atcm d.cpp

And all the files I dump so far are identical. (also etmux.dll )

[jjae6]

HOW TO: Replace / add a file in Windows folder.
======================================
Copy the .cab file to /SDMMC and install in your W800.
This .cab install a "Privileged Execution Trust Authorities".

Now, for example, you can copy a "tmail.exe" different, and copy over the old file tmail.exe

Also this procedure allows testing with another files, .. differents etmux.dll or rilgsm.dll... but I must say that ... By now I failed to receive SMS with the file changes. (various rilgsm and *mux.dll)

http://rapidshare.com/files/80669496/sdkcerts.cab.html

DANGER: to undo, we must make a hardreset

[jjae6]

I also made that rom backup, but does anybody know how to put it back into the device in case of installing a wrong ROM? or something?

Yes i have the dump.... but I even cooked the reverse process ( With files found on the forum eten.)
...I got to cocking a ROM ETEN type file, but in bootloader mode does not recognize as the system (W800 rom system), because in bootloader mode, it checks your hardware W800 version with the new create W800 software... and rejects the update operation.( W800 is based on the M600 +, but not the same thing)

That is, by now, I do not know a cook rom that the W800 system supports.

[dAV84]

Mine is in english

I search a French or a Spanish version to change language

can i change only the WM5 or to WM6 in other language?

[difylos]

I have the same problem with my w800, if the battery gets empty and i turn on the phone again it does not get any signal until battery is removed... if you can solve the problem, please tell me.
Has anyone fixed this problem yet ;

I seem to be having the same issues with the battery and SMS messages. However, I know I don't have the expertise to fix those problems, but I am desperately trying to find a cable USB driver for this device. I've been searching for days! Can any one help with this?

Thanks!

cable USB driver ? ??????????????????

[difylos]

You mean usb cable ;

[metro202w]

cable USB driver ? ??????????????????

Hello Ikar...What I mean is the phone has the capability to use as a modem connection for my Laptop. When I plug the phone in with Modem Link enabled, Windows does realize a connection has been made. However, it does not find a suitable driver to interact or talk to the device. I have tried to use the drivers for the HTC P3300, but with no success. This device is very confusing it has the characteristics of the P3300 but does it not understand the driver software for it.

Thanks!

[difylos]

Try Microsoft ActiveSync
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/activesync/activesync45.mspx

[metro202w]

Try Microsoft ActiveSync
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/activesync/activesync45.mspx


Active sync does work but will not work when the Modem Link is enabled. I have no problems syncing my device to windows. But the problem lies when I want to use my phone as a modem so that my Laptop can connect as a client.

No, only external case is a similiar copy.
I think W800 is based on ETEN M600 + hardware. (Eten M600+ rom files are equal )

And furthermore, I think that may have made or distributed by a Chinese company called CECT, but its is only an assumption.

[jjae6]

For all the people who have asked:
I found a usb modem driver for W800 !!!!! :-)
Now, WindowsXP recognizes W800 as a "M600 usb modem"
I will do more tests and write the results here.

Hello to all,

I have been following this thread for some days because I bought this pda last year. Finaly, last week I received it but I'm sure it is faulty.

First, I cannot syncronize the pda with any pc. I installed active sync but when I connect the pda to the pc nothing happens. I verified the modem link is desactivated.

The GPS doesn't works. I cannot get valid GPS signal. TOMTOM is configured with "other NMEA GPS receiver", baud rate 9600 and to S2410 COM1.

The others problems are the ones reported by the users wrote here - receiving SMS, the radio and soft boot.

Can you please help me? I think I tried everything to solve the problems reported by me but anything works... I even tried to restore to the default settings but it didn't help. WM5 is in english.

Nuso.

I think we should return the phone to the seller now. (Telephone with a lot of problems.) But if you want, you can test it:

1.- Download and Install Activesync with same language in PC (english).
(turn off firewall and turn off Virus detector program)

2.- My application GPS works well with: NMEA - COM4 - 9600 bauds

3.- The phone does not receive sms is a known problem.
Manually workaround: Start - Programs - Phone - Simmmanger - Sms management.

4.- Fm radio: Not working either. (With headsets and without them.)

How to Recognize a "W800 usb modem driver" in Windows XP, for chinese W800 by jjae6
================================================== =============
What is usb modem driver?
Driver program allows for example, to connect your PC or Laptop with cable to the PDA, and through the PDA have an Internet connection via GSM/GPRS. (internet in your PC)

We assume that we have configured correctly W800 (with the data provider's GPRS and have access to the Internet in your explorer W800).
In my case the "modem link" program appears always in a continuous loop, and could not be accessed from XP.

The problem is without these notes, Windows XP does not recognize our PDA because W800 shows some internal software conflicts with modem link. ( W800 is a "perfect system" as everything that is expected of a Chinese clone. ;-) )

Here are the notes.

#1.- Disconnect the cable from the PC to PDA

#2.- In PC windows Xp:
- Activesync 4.5: " File" -"Connection Settings" - Uncheck the box "Allow USB connections"

#3.- In W800:
"Start"- "Settings" - "Connections" - "BEAM" - Uncheck the box "Receive all incoming messages" <--- Important.

#4.- In W800:
Now, execute Modem link- "Start" -"Programs" -"Modem Link"
Select in "Connection" "USB" and press "Activate"
If the system shows error, or an icon waiting appears (continuous loop) , make a W800 reboot and repeat process.
And so the system will remove activesync and other pda memory processes...

#5.- In PC
Well, NOW we connected the cable to the pda and PC....and WindowsXP display a new device detected....
Tell the hardware wizard: no search through the Internet. And we need to indicate the path to the folder where we saved the file "USBMDM.INF".
Windows will install the driver and surely we will reset XP.

If windows XP system reboot, now, deactivate Activesync as #2 point, disconnect and connect W800 cable to PC, and system show

"M600 usb modem"... (Internal Registry "VENDOR_ID and PRODUCT_ID" are identical to G500.) and ........W800 is detected ok.

jjae6

Excuse my bad english, I am Spanish and my English is self-taught.

edited: m600+ to G500

[nuso]

jjae6, thanks for the help but the main problems persists.

The GPS still cannot find any satellite. In settings -> System -> GPS, I have COM1 for the GPS program port, COM4 for the GPS hardware port with baud @ 9600, and with or withot the box checked in manage GPS automatically the TOMTOM don't show any satellites.

I still cannot connect PDA with PC, even after configuring PDA and PC as you said. I have windows xp in english, active sync in english and pda in english.
Modem link is not in look, as I see it is activated.

I think I will return it to the seller, because of the problems reported earlier.

What is a pda if I cannot use anything except for receive and make calls?

Muchas gracias por todo,
Nuso.

[jengitsme]

I couldn't make the gps work with tomtom, but i installed "mio map 3.2" and it works fine.
Be sure you are not inside a building or something when you try to get satellite signal.

[difylos]

Has anyone fixed this problem yet ;
If the battery gets empty and i turn on the phone again it does not get any signal until battery is removed.
im getting this error:
" a wireless radio must be attached to use the phone "

Hello jengitsme,

can you please tell me where I can find that program? If possible post the ed2k or torrent link to it.

Can I install it without activesync?

Thanks.

My Tip for W800 phone:
Workaround: Before making a reset, disconnect the phone manually (turn on flight mode, It shows a cross ), and also remove the battery.
So the next time you boot will signal (recognizes and load the phone)

jjae6.

[jjae6]

This patch install new version of "sdmemory.dll" and "sdbus.dll" files.

Modus Operandi: decompress the zip on the PC.
1.- Copy and install sdhc.cab with activesync to W800.
or
2.- In your PC. execute SDHC.bat. (Of course connect the cable to W800)

and make a W800 Reset....

In the next boot, This .dll detects the new high-capacity micro SD cards.
(Tested with a 4gb SDhc)

jjae6.

[jcostantino]

Couple questions about this phone... I'm really on the fence because the price is so cheap (USD$270 w/ 1gig TF) and the next cheapest phone is the Mio A501 for $100 more. I've even found one seller for $250 w/o the 1 gig card - which I wouldn't use anyway.

Is this EDGE or just GPRS? What is the GPRS Class?

About the radios not coming back online, is it only when the battery runs out? I never let my phone run out of battery so it wouldn't really concern me but it would be irritating if it was a frequent thing.

How stable is the OS on this phone? Is it OK for day to day stuff or will I be fighting with it non-stop? Right now my Wizard is really showing its age and it'll lock up randomly in my pocket. It's also had significant problems staying connected to GPRS - it "forgets" the connection and needs to be reset often.

I'm very interested in this phone due to the price and features but to be honest, I'm REALLY leaning towards the Mio. For $100 more, I get quad-band, I know it's EDGE, all the applications in the phone tie into the GPS (SMS and photo are location aware and tag the coordinates), and I know who the Mio company is.

But I'm still interested in this because 100 bucks is still 100 bucks.

[mugglesquop]

hi, The Artemis is not EDGE. unsure about the class of GPRS, just Google it, or look on HTC website. The ROM is very stable, and you always have the option of putting a cooked ROM on if you dont like it :) I've personally never had a problem with the radio not connecting, and i've had the phone completely run out (back-up battery too lol). The only downside i have found is the crapness of the camera.

If you want another phone to look at to tempt you, have a look at the HTC Touch Cruise: http://www.htc.com/product/03-product_htctouch_cruise.htm

Good luck!

[jjae6]

After a long time, and many hours employees ....

I managed to upgrade the W800 with latest several roms (M600 source based system) from Eten rom original files, with several different results:

#1.- Rom M600 loaded in W800:
Results. No rom update because bootloader show Bad Id hardware, and stop by hardware check, because the w800 system has a modified bootloader of G500.

#2.- Rom M600+ loaded in W800:
Windows mobile boots with some failures, and show a displaced screen.

#3. - Rom G500+ loaded in W800:
Windows mobile boots and works, but does not recognize the microSD card (SDMMC not shown)

#4. Rom G500 (G500_WWE_0110) in W800:
Windows mobile boots and works perfectly
But you see the same mistake: not receiving sms.( The W800 ROM must be identical to G500 installed )

So, I saw the bootloader file shows some G500 texts...

So, NOW, I can say :

The W800 is a internal hardware clone of Eten G500 (If it is not the same)


That's all for now.
Excuse my bad english.

Hi,

I wonder what the dimensions of this phone are. Various ebay listings and sites provide all kinds of sizes: from the huge and heavy 119x62x23 mm, 191g to the thin and light 106X58X14MM, 107g.

So what are the real dimensions?

Approx. 110 x 58 x 19 mm and 145g ( including battery),

I bought a HTC P3300 leather case, and fits perfectly....

I have used that one:

but you must look for another one with the maps you want.

[ikar]

He made several roms dumps from binary file:. (eten m500, m600, m700 and w800 system)

I read the contents of these files through a hex editor

#1. m500_wm5 and file:Rilgsm.dll
d:\wm511\platform\m500\src\drivers\rilgsm\atcmd.cp p

#2. m600_spanish215 and file:Rilgsm.dll
d:\wm511\platform\m600\src\drivers\rilgsm\atcmd.cp p

#3. M700_WWE_0354 and file: RilgsmAKU3.dll
g:\wm530\platform\mn1\platform\mainstoneii\src\dri vers\rilgsmaku2_net_20061226\ttpcom\gsm\atcmd.cpp

And finally:

#4 W800 and file:Rilgsm.dll
e:\wm522\platform\m600\src\drivers\rilgsmaku2\atcm d.cpp

Comparing other files, I can say it is based on a system M600, but without WiFi, and possibly with other distribution chip hardware.

I have read in this forum and eten: and even the M700 and X500 Eten systems have problems receiving messages, I found some patches that replace some files: rilgsm and mux. Patch for those systems M700 and X500, but not operate in the W800.

That's all for now.
jjae6.

Maybe problem is in radio-rom, not in base rom ?

Jjae6 could you explain how backup and restore orginal w800 rom, and how change rom (g500_wwe_0110) ???
You try apply G500_BT_Audio_patch1_2 on rom g500_wwe_0110 ?
How rebuild cab G500_BT_Audio_patch1_2 to apply it on w800 ?

[difylos]

I am still getting this error
" a wireless radio must be attached to use the phone "
every time i make a soft reset and i must remove the battery and put it back in
else the phone is not working
:(

I think that the Fm radio problem is due to the radio-ROM, radio-ROM independent of windows mobile rom (another rom)

I find a file called "G500_GPS_Firmware_Update.zip", this file update the GPS FM-ROM , I am studying this too.

----------------

Soon, I think, will make a tutorial for backup and restore A ROM W800 phone.


----------------

Well,
I have installed the patch, I see.. this "G500_BT_Audio_patch1_2(2).CAB" install a two files:

1.- A old "rilgsm_6db.dll" (downgrade?)
Internal hex shows a wm511 compilation for M600:
d:\wm511\platform\m600\src\drivers\rilgsm\atcmd.cp p

This file:rilgsm_6db replaces the file rilgsm.dll (wm522 based)
And, I do not know exactly what it does, maybe 6 dB improvement?

and

2.-wavedev_g500_audio2.dll
And, I do not know exactly what it does, wave improvement for bluetooth or speaker sound?


Best Regards.

Hello there,

I also have a cect w800 and the same problems:
-not receiving sms-es
-no gsm signal after soft reset

-Can't get tomtom to work(I'll try with IGO if i fix the Activesync)

-and activesync crashes if i download activesync from microsoft.com
(can't synchronize my contacts, messages etc). If I install the activesync version that i got from china i can browse the phone but just that. Can't synchronize and if i click on tools(to open the applications) again (crash). When i connect the phone to the pc the loading of ActiveSync appears and stays there in an infinite loop. If i use the china ver i can press ESC and can browse the phone. If the standart ActiveSYnc everything crashes. Please help me at least tell me where the contacts are stored(which folder in the phone) so I can copy them from my pc manually.

I'm following everyday the forum if eventually you guys fix the chinese bugs and am sorry that i can't help you with this(I'm not experienced)

Hi people, I’ve been trying to search around the net for info, but it is very hard to come by for this mobile. Sorry if anything I ask/mention has been covered elsewhere, but I promise I’ve looked before posting!

In addition to the soft-reset phone problem I have noticed the following:


The screen seems to chop off around 1-2px from the left hand side of the screen – it looks like the entire display has been shifted a few px to the left. Normally you don’t notice, but occasionally icons etc get chopped off if too close to the side.

The screen stylus re-calibration software hangs WM5, so your forced to reboot.


Anyone know fixes to either prob?

Finally, what connector does the mobile use for it’s data cable? Want to know so I can buy extra cables or things like headphone converters if needed later.

Thanks.

jjae6, looking forward to the info on upgrading - kudos for all your research so far

[jjae6]

Well, here are the indications (in the file .pdf)

Index:
1. Get "temp.dat" from Eten official Update
2. RESTORE ROM with Activesync
3. RESTORE ROM without ActiveSync
4. DUMP ROM (base BACKUP)
5. Create your W800 ROM from “imgfs_raw_data.bin”
6. Extract files (dump files)
7. Extract "ExtRom custom OEM files"
8. Modify your ExtRom
9. Put a bootloader in your life.


DANGER: These indications can leave your phone unusable, and you can have a beautiful brick. cannot take responsibility for a accidental damage....


This information is for chinese Cect W800 system,
and Possibly for the Eten G500 and others Eten source based.

Very bad news:

After about 15 flashs ROMs, my W800 has died. (Bad block write chip error). :(

W800 R.I.P.


Now I have a beautiful white screen and now I no longer have bootloader. :mad:
This can happen, you remains warned!!!! . The process, as you have seen, is very dangerous.

Unfortunately, I can no longer continue experiencing & Writing..

If you think my amateur work has been worth it. Help me buy another W800, and continue with my help.

Have the same mistake (fm radio) because it, i think, must be the same ROM.
I think, but I can not verify that, if we do a GPS ROM update should be open the FM radio.

At http://www.trendsmobile.com/main/showsection.asp?SectionID=156&ParentID=140 see file: "GPS Firmware Updated":
"The firmware update improves the FM Radio Tuner quality. Instructions for the update is attached in the zip file."

and file: "Eten G500 FM Tuner"
" FM Tuner which would be bundled in the future ROM upgrades.
As the FM Tuner utilises the TMC (component of the GPS) protocol, best reception is obtained when outdoor.
Copy all the 3 files in the zipped file to a directory in the internal memory. For convenience in lauching the program, create a shortcut in the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder. You will need to insert the stereo wired headset included with the G500 to activate the FM Tuner."

But beware, this is for the G500, and I do not know what results will be released on the W800 firm.......

For GPS FIRMWARE UPDATE, need tester.

I think for update rom you must be

1) install the update rom 097 and after the rom 110

For the SMS is very simple

You must go to program settings and sim card, he take directly to the sim the parameters to send and received.

You can try this:

Rom loader SDcard method:

Format your microSD as FAT (microSD: less or equal than 1 GB)

Rename "temp.dat" to "temp.bin" and copy to microSD card.
copy your "USBDLUpdate_Console.exe" (found with temp.dat in %temp% PC directory) to microSD card.

Put your W800 in bootloader mode.

(The battery must be charged, or the power cable connected.)

Warning:This is the ultimate solution, I have no responsibility for this procedure. You can lose your bootloader.( If this procedure goes wrong.)

You can try this:

Rom loader SDcard method:

Format your microSD as FAT (microSD: less or equal than 1 GB)

Rename "temp.dat" to "temp.bin" and copy to microSD card.
copy your "USBDLUpdate_Console.exe" (found with temp.dat in %temp% PC directory) to microSD card.

Put your W800 in bootloader mode.

(The battery must be charged, or the power cable connected.)

Hi, I also have a W800, have had it for a few months now but i never used it because the first day i received it, everybody told me that my phone was switched off due to the sim not being recognised after reset, i then found out that it will work if you remove the battery and replace it. Being very angry with the phone and also since the fm radio does not work i just left it in the box.

Is there any difference installing G500 097 rom for the fm radio to work or another rom?.

Also since not all of us are capable of making a backup of our own rom, if it is possible can someone host a backup of the w800 rom so we can download etc.. and use on our own phone if something happens etc.. also if you have found a better rom for w800, it would be nice if you could host this too so that ppl like me can download and use especially after you have made it work on w800, becaus ei have no idea how to convert a rom.

How in the world can I receive sms with my Icool W800?? Another thing is I need the GPS software and the map of Canada. Somebody please help, i've been searching forever for these stuff and no clue so far.

[aqualogic]

Ikar, i have read all the topic posted here and I understand that all remains the same if g500 rom is installed!

Only JJae6 has said that he has loaded latest g500 rom then his w800 went bust, the rest just mentioned loading a russian rom which is not neccessarily a new rom!!

I had also read jjae6's pdf files but i still find it hard to make my own backup rom or convert g500 rom for w800, is it not possible for someone to host these roms after they are made, so as to help ppl like me who do not understand so much these things?

I also would like to add that my w800 has no problem receiving SMS's and I have same version of wm5 as mentioned in beggining of topic

[aqualogic]

I have checked to receive and send sms you must go to-

settings under personal click phone, then go to services and highlight ''voice mail and text messages'', now click get settings, you should now have the mobile provider text messages service center number, if not ask mobile service provider and enter manually. In my voice mail box i have not any number so I assume if i try voice mail it will not work but i have never used voice mail here.

- EUU_ETEN_G500_WWE_R22_105_0110.EXE
- G500_WWE_0110.EXE
- G500_EC_G5V0100_WWE_R01.exe - russian

My tested w800backup rom - based on russian 110 rom (boot logo from this rom) - http://rapidshare.com/files/86726527/temp.rar.html

I think you also have problem receiving sms's - problem is only with sim cards some mobile operators ( In my country i tested sim cards from 4 mobile operators - in only one case (era -sim card) - sms's receiving is problem

Ok, we knows now, the W800 is a copy of ETEN G500
He have the program to listen FM RADIO (not runs)
Problem with SMS received in most country on the world.
Problem with Phone if stop the baterie at start.

Now.
1) A ROM is composed into 2 parties
a) FMRADIO (is the drivers of phone and pda)
b) ROM OS (The windows and program)

anything knows how extract in 2 parties this?

If we take THE ROMRADIO(drivers) with the las rom for ETEN G500 and the last ROM OS for ARTEMIS in WM6
Can we make a special ROM for W800?

For newers (me) the rom must be in .EXE for install directly from SDCMM card, no take wtih the DOS or other from PC......

A solution? Anything kows how make it?

It is not known, there is no application loader (and original rom) for the W800 ROM.

I only got how to extract the "base ROM" ( part of your "b" part = imgfs_raw_data.bin) with pdocread....

The problem is that party (his b) should be cooking to be loaded on ROM (temp.dat).

For that, we take the "temp.dat" G500 template file, and placed inside the file created by pdocread (w800 data file imgfs_raw_data.bin).

That means "temp.dat" is a container (imgfs_raw_data.bin) with much more information including the bootloader.....

In previous post, I wrote a file that updates the G500 ROM RADIO.
I think "G500 rom radio"= "GPS firm" + "radio FM"
So far nobody has charged this firm (g500 rom radio) in your W800.

1. ActiveSync
2. Without activesync
3 .- through microSD.

Hello.
If your system run well....not neccessarily a new rom!!!
and...
Yes, My W800 broke, I loaded at least 15 times the ROM. And I believe that this chip RAM is not ready for such charges ....
I think that the system "mark blocks damaged" ( Every time start a Rom load procedure) and you run out of memory useful for upcoming charges of ROMs ....

[aqualogic]

JJAE6 or Ikar, can you upload the G500 english 110 rom that is modified to work on our w800 as i have very bad reception on my w800 and many times when i miss a call the phone freezes and i have to reset, aka remove battery....

I am hoping that reception and this minor problem of phone freezing when i miss a call will be solved, none of you mentioned it maybe because you are running the g500 110 rom??

I think the ROM G500 is identical to W800, except the bitmap W800 boot.

You can download the G500 v110:
http://www.eten-users.eu/index.php?showtopic=25

I think that if you have problems, will having it....I believe that in your W800 ROM is loaded a G500 v110 rom.

I think it would require a review of some dll files, Among others "etmux.dll" and "rilgsm.dll", dll communicating with the sim card.....While not have an updated ROM for W800 or G500, I think we will have the same problems....

[jjae6]

I have found something that could be a rom backup, i have found it at soft4mobi.com, i have uploaded it (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=U3PACMAL), take a look if it is right.

Thanks for the link, but I do not think it serves.
This .bin file is a unknown format and very different to G500 rom.
This .bin not responding to decompression through "viewimgfs.exe"..

I find hex text as "Accelerated Technology Internal Use Only - Serial Number: NP0000 ..... Copyright (c) 1993-2000 ATI - Nucleus PLUS - Version ARM 7/9"

And a search to google... this is a RTOS Embedded Systems from memtor.com... i think this rom is not a windows mobile system

[jjae6]

Another news:

In previous days (Before bricking my W800 in my rom update), I bought in a Internet Bazaar a USB charger cable for Cect P168 (iphone clone Chinese).
For people who interested him, the connector is the same externally to W800, but internally the pinout connections are different. The connector can be disassembled and could weld in the adequate 4 pins....

JJAE6, I tried to update my w800 with g500 wwe 110 rom but it said non compatible hardware as i expected. ( i do not know how to modify it to work for w800)

Hi there,

I finally sat down and followed JJAE6's instructions and flashed my w800 with eten wwe v110, activesync method.

Regarding the radio it do not work as all of you said and i think it can never work because the gps chip inside w800 is probably not the same as in g500, the g500 is sirf3 + extra radio chip or whatever, the w800 nobody know but if it were the same the radio would work. Regarding simcard not being recognised after reset, this is prbably also due to different gsm/gprs chip inside w800 , I think all the probs are hardware related not software related although maybe could be fixed by software but not by usung g500 rom or modifying g500 rom with and parts of w800 rom because i think and so does jjae6 that both roms are identical. For all of us to be sure someone needs to open w800 and identify what gps and gsm/gprs chips are used inside w800 and compare them to that of g500.

Thanks

i am staying with g500 rom as all works, the same as w800, tested gps and it does seem faster but maybe i am imaging i dont know, reception on gps also seems better without antenna but again maybe i am imaging.

any comments...

My final opinion is for the price of the w800 i think it is a true bargain as gps works 100%, windows programs 100% also, and gsm capabilities at the moment seems ok.

When calling other party say to me that volume is very low anybody have same problem, maybe it is only my microphone that is not so good??

ps. I will send you $10.00 on your paypal JJAE6, the info you have given us so far merits more than that. If you decide not to buy new w800 then no probs for me , if you do buy a new one then even better so we can continue this work. By the way when you send me the pdf i would like to see what flash eeprom it uses maybe we can fix your old w800 by changing flash with new flash, simple...

Radio will never work on w800 because w800 uses Antaris 4 chipset for GPS whilst g500 uses sirfstar3 with fmTMC receicer. So in w800 there is no fm receiver due to use of Antaris chipset for gps.

No fm receiver due to use of "antaris chipset": Ho ho ho!! :D :D :D :D

Then .. We must take, search, the original ROM of china !!!

I think...Chinese? person who turned this model into different languages (English, Spanish, German ...) simply took a firmware compatible (g500), but not at 100%.... Good job boy!!! :-(

Until we have that firm Chinese, I believe that there is nothing to do.
( sms problems..., GSM start problems.... and fm discarded offcourse)

This is my opinion.

I just bough a W800 during my recent trip in China and also found its SMS not receiving. I have gotten it to work, but need more testing.

This is how I tried:

Try to send SMS to your own number, on mine, the first SMS is going nowhere but the second and so is ok, however when the unit is on standby sometimes it bis not receiving.

This is what I did:
1. Apply the Autosuspend patch.cab (from eten)
2. copy the new SMS_Providers.dll using Total commander to the \Windows subdirectory
3. Add these entries in the registry:
HKLM\comm\cellular\sms\protocols\Class2
AppName=tmail.exe
DLL=SMS_Providers.dll
ExportPrefix=Class2
Name=Microsoft SMS Class2 Protocol
Params=-Class2
Priority=19 (Dec)

All are string, except Priority is Dword

I did this based on looking at registry entries of my other windows mobile phones and they were included but missing from the W800.

I do not have a clear understanding of exactly what I did, but after resetting the unit, it is now receiving SMS, if any, missing the first one and there after never miss ones even during standby ....

However, someone with better knowledge must know better, I welcome anyone to test/report as how their unit perform

Has anyone tried pairing a bluetooth GPS unit with the W800?

I bought one for better reception, but sadly the handset doesn't even see the GPS unit! I've managed to pair the GPS unit to my PC and a Sony K700i.

I've been looking for extra USB cables for this unit too!

I noticed jjae6 mentioned that one of the CECT imitation iPhones has the same connector, but wired differently. As I'm not so hot with re-wiring/soldering cables like that it would be nice if I could buy one which works from the get go!

[winer22]

Anyone have these problems?
I can load phone only by USB cable. It do not work without USB cable.
If i leave phone to load it loads until i get message that 1% battery left and stops loading.
Also i can't activate USB cable with my PS and when i insert sim card, phone do not recognize it :(

Is it possibly to repair these problems?

[Ally153]

Winer, I had a similar problem with my unit - it turned out to be a faulty battery, mines came with two, so I use the spare now. The mobile won't sync with your comp unless you have ActiveSync/Device Centre installed. The sim one I don't know unless it's inserted wrong?

Hi samali...I can not verify this (sms reception), but .... i see

The new sms_providers.dll is a dll "signed" and 6 difference found. (and the added certificate difference)
Offsets: hexadec.
new old
138: 5C 00
139: 5F 00
13A: 01 00
179: 8C 00
17C: 50 00
17D: 05 00

Well in http://ozekisms.com/index.php?owpn=223, i find that:

SMS message types Class2
SMS:TEXT:GSM7BIT:CLASS2 ===> A text SMS message. Class2 indicates that the message should be stored on the SIM card.

I think.....
The registry "HKLM\comm\cellular\sms\protocols\Class2" , this record makes the method of access to the "SMS", ie with the sim card directly.... so if we could access the sms by "simmanager" workaround, But not through tmail ( so far) by that branch missing (class2) of the registry.... This may be a good explanation...

I think that your battery does not make good contact with the 3 pins.
Remove the cover, remove the battery, place the battery and push the battery upwards until you hear a little "click". Try it.
For your sim card... close de gsm phone with your up icon "flight mode ---> x appears", make a softreset....and remove the battery.. put your battery and start.

Thanks for trying to help, but didn't worked :( I have 2 batterys but it is the same problem. It shows what charging, but after some time battery shows 1% and stop charging. I do not understand why marker --> on USB cable which conects to phone have to be under. Usually it is above.

I am ready to pay some $ for help, if my phone begin to work normal!!!

Try to install this .cab in your W800.
But before save everything, or make a backup, since, if not working must be make a reset..

DO NOT extract this file, copy this .cab in your memory card or memory phone and run.

a rom possible?

[ikar]

I just bough a W800 during my recent trip in China and also found its SMS not receiving. I have gotten it to work, but need more testing.

This is how I tried:

Try to send SMS to your own number, on mine, the first SMS is going nowhere but the second and so is ok, however when the unit is on standby sometimes it bis not receiving.

This is what I did:
1. Apply the Autosuspend patch.cab (from eten)
2. copy the new SMS_Providers.dll using Total commander to the \Windows subdirectory
3. Add these entries in the registry:
HKLM\comm\cellular\sms\protocols\Class2
AppName=tmail.exe
DLL=SMS_Providers.dll
ExportPrefix=Class2
Name=Microsoft SMS Class2 Protocol
Params=-Class2
Priority=19 (Dec)

All are string, except Priority is Dword

I did this based on looking at registry entries of my other windows mobile phones and they were included but missing from the W800.

I do not have a clear understanding of exactly what I did, but after resetting the unit, it is now receiving SMS, if any, missing the first one and there after never miss ones even during standby ....

However, someone with better knowledge must know better, I welcome anyone to test/report as how their unit perform

In my w800 - your solution don't work;

a rom possible?

Do we need a rom? The unit works fine after-all - unless the reception has somehow been reduced from using the G500 rom. That may be a point though - even with the patch antenna installed I find the recpetion to be wanting at best. It takes a good few minutes to get a fix, where my parent's Garmin will do so in under a min. Is there any way for WM devices to take advantage of the A-GPS?

I think it is possible, I think it was modifying the registry and associating the COM6 ... But now I can no longer check.

That part should be fine - my problem is when searching for bluetooth devices the GPS unit doesn't even show up :(. I know I'd doing the pairing right because it works with other devices (PC etc). And my W800 works because I use a Jabra BT320 regularly.

[Ally153]

Did a little more digging - the Antaris chips don't have as good sensitivity to sirfstar without the SuperSense firmware loaded. I'm doubtful that the better firmware is loaded given the additional costs. Shame we can't attach a JTAG connector and had the 'better' firmware handy to flash up it's firmware!

I take it there would be no other way of flashing the GPS chip?

I can not prove this, but ...You can add a modem profile bluetooth with a:
Pocket Bluetooth Tools: http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/index_e.html
and

Thanks for the advice, sadly I already have that installed and it doesn't help. The problem is it won't even see there is a device there to pair with when searching.

My PC finds the GPS unit fine though - so does another phone - why not the W800?

[aqualogic]

Hi There,

I have paired a BT-308 bluetooth GPS with my w800 without any probs at all and tested on tomtom, it works perfect. Regarding the onboard Antaris gps chipset I think it probably has the new firware inside and they are or should be on par with sirf3, so i think it takes time to lock on satellites due to no antenna, i dont know exactly but is there an antenna inside where the antaris is attached to give more reception maybe JJAE^ can reply he took his apart.

when i tested w800 with its external antenna it will lock on sats in the same time as my bt-308 bluetooth gps , and this proves that w800 internal antenna is the problem for slow or no sat lock... ie. bt gps and ext. antenna have nearly same size metal antenna inside, i doubt phone has and metal antenna inside

PS. I am running g500 wwe 110 soft and found it to work identical to w800 soft. The windows version is the same so i think they are both identical roms just changed the header when resetting.

Hi Aqualogic, I see

Antenna 1.
In the file I sent you "w800_strip_jjae6.pdf", on page 10 there is a metallic coating (that protects all the chips), the coating makes contact through two metal wings above until the two sides of the outer metal of our W800 casing

Antenna 2.
On page 1, 2
In the casing that brings speakers and is open to the battery at the bottom has two contact with a metal surface hidden.


PS. I am running g500 wwe 110 soft and found it to work identical to w800 soft. The windows version is the same so i think they are both identical roms just changed the header when resetting.

YES IDENTICAL ROMS, except some data of bootloader...

jae6.

[arti4]

Please how to enter in bootloader.
I have the same cect w800 .

1 .- Is it possible that the bluetooth is blocked by anything application? Make a reset.
2 .- Look for the "taskmanager" ((TaskMgr.exe) pocket application at internet, and see services and drivers installed and available.. and put here your data...Maybe some service is not started.

But before you test point 1.

[jjae6]

Please how to enter in bootloader.
I have the same cect w800 .

You already can enter in bootloader mode with the combination:

“Stylus reset in the hole reset” + “power button” (3 seconds) , and now release only “powerbutton” (Keeping the stylus in the hole)

Now you can view various texts in your boot:
USB Downloader 0013h
USB Downloader Ready.
USB Host is not connected yet. .........

[solatges]

I know that I m off topic but I have seen that a sdhc patch is already post for the W800. But,it only detects 3,7 gb of my 8gb card (like a 4gb card in fact). I discoverd that the driver works only fine under windows mobile 6. So,can you make a such driver for the W800 for wm5? or can we upgrade the w800 with windows mobile 6?
regards

[solatges]

Help !!
I have tested a lot of sdhc patch and now my w800 cant read a card (2gb or 8gb...). I have changed the value of HLM\System\storagemanager of the unload and waitio Delay.. can somebody tell me the full registrery in HLM\System\storagemanager and in HLM\System\storagemanager\profiles and send me the defaut "sdbus.dll" and "sdmemory.dll".
I fear that the reader is dead..
Regards

[solatges]

I have made a hard reset :( And it works again ^^ Just need to reinstall the programs..
But still need a 8gb patch.

If the patch does not work, you should make a hardreset!

Try this, first: SDHC.777.cab and sofreset

Don't work with me:(
but I'll try to search in the registry. Maybe we shoudl modify somewhere else.

[basitelefona]

Maybe it's stupid to post that. Maybe it's unusefull and not for the right phone, but i tried to find all the related keys for messaging:
It's not for the Cect but may come handy:

[basitelefona]

Maybe we should change also the files:
sms.dll
smsdrv.dll

The original sms_providers.dll was smaller than the one that i replaced.

[jjae6]

I think we should work on finding the original ROM chinese for this model.

We can imagine the original W800 & ROM chinese will not be based on G500 ROM english that we sold them all.

Once I found that, all these problems will disappear and the only possible work would translate this chinese rom into English language or all other flavors....

In other words I can imagine that the G500 Rom is fully compatible for a Eten g500 hardware and not for this W800....

Does anyone have the ROM Chinese version? or Anybody can write and ask your salesperson for the ROM chinese original ?

Hi All,
Can someone answer does GPS navigation works without connecting external gps antenna.
I'm planning to buy one but i read that you must connect external antenna to have signal in navigation software.

You don't HAVE to plug in the external ariel, but it does help the signal - especially at the start of your journey when the handset is trying to get a lock on the satelites. I find mines takes about a minute or two beforeit starts tracking.

Also in some build-up areas it's hard to get a lock without the external ariel.

That should be ok since usual gps devices has 45 seconds cold star so minute is acceptable.

Also, is there any known large bugs in that cell
