Okay Guys. Here is a ROM for testing purposes only. The Atom Life AKU3.3 is very much stable compared to the BENQ P51 AKU3.5 when ported to our XDA Atom.
WARNING: It is possible that you can brick your device with this ROM. Use it at your own risk! This is for XDA Atom ONLY. (NOT XDA ATOM EXEC!)
UPGRADE PROCEDURE:
- Your device battery must be at least 80% charged.
- Enter into boot loader mode: POWER+DPAD(center)+RESET (simultaneous)
- Connect device to PC using USB
- Run the original ROM update Xda-Atom-ENG-20060426-MOT0822.exe
- On the Welcome window, click <next>
- Unzip attached nb0 file into C:\Windows\Temp Folder (overwrite existing file)
- Proceed upgrading and follow on screen instructions.
Notes: Don't ask me why the upgrade is like this. I'm no cracker, and the ATOM_Software_Update_Utility.exe needs to be hacked. (someone needs to crack it. if you know how to do it PM me.) After a successful update, the device will automatically perform a hard reset. When you see the green Windows Mobile Screen and the message flashes to tap the screen, please wait for five (5) seconds before tapping.
Big thanks goes to mamaich for his tools and the Scoter Kitchen by JKR, OKI and team! For without their tools, there wouldn't be an update for the XDA Atom. Special thanks for buzz, double_04, llbasha, and others for the support and assistance.
ROM Revisions:
OS: 5.01.195.15671.3.3 Atom Life Version
OEM additions: HTC X-Button, New Menu for WM5, dotFred TaskManager, Jeyo SMS backup, O2 Themes (Snow, Sunrise), Intellipad
* Original ATOM applications are still there (i.e. Photo Album, O2 SMS Plus, etc.)
* Program Layout is based on MWilmar's Icon Resources (thank you for this) lifted from TofClock's Hima WM5 AKU3.5 ROM.
==> dotFred TaskManager and Jeyo SMS Backup are executable files found in \Windows. I made no shortcuts for this because not all would use it and it will just clutter your start menu.
Known Bug: Midi files won't play, bluetooth services PC Link (serial port & PAN) BUT pairing with other device for file transfer is okay including ActiveSync. Not all bluetooth headset functionality supported.
Enjoy!!!
