HTC Universal

I found a "bricked" HTC Universal without - everything.
So I decided to piece it back together.
First thing to find was an USB Cable to recharge the battery.
Working is an normal Mini USB Cable, even tough the connector looks different.

After that, I found out that the HTC was a brick.
So to unbrick:

get mtty1.42.exe, enter bootloader mode , (Power + Light Bulb + Reset)

1. Stop Activesync USB connection
2. Uni : Reboot Bootloader then Connect USB
3. PC : Run mtty1.42.exe
4. Choose USB in "Port" (Reconnect if can't find/reconglize USB and try remove sim and sd card)
5. type : task 28 55aa
6. Press Enter
7. Cause DOC reformatted, so there's no rom in DOC ,try reflash any rom that you like .

For task 28 55aa in mtty success , will show the message (attachment )

DONE .

Under Windows Vista / 7 you need to use these drivers and stuff: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313001&highlight=flashing+vista

After that, we want to upgrade to a new rom.
I choose Maxstegis German Rom ( http://rom.maxstegi.de/index.php )
You should go for Version 6: http://rom.maxstegi.de/downloads.php?view=detail&df_id=12
And the Radio Image 1.18.00: http://rom.maxstegi.de/downloads.php?view=detail&df_id=14

Go into Bootloader Mode, start the Version 6 and it will upgrade.
Do not do anything to the Radio, we will change that soon...

Get the HTC Universal Unlock Tool to unlock your SIM:

Install Instructions:
1. Backup your phone (not necessary, but advisable).
2. Remove your SD Card.
3. Enter bootloader mode on your Phone. To do this, simultaneously hold down the backlight key (“bulb” key, next to volume key), the power key and soft reset the phone. Your phone screen should clear, and you will see very faint writing saying “serial”. Let go of buttons etc.
4. Connect your phone to your computer using the USB lead.
5. Run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe program – this will reflash your phone with necessary software required to enable the unlocker.
6. Wait patiently.
7. Once the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe upgrade completes, soft reset your phone by pressing the soft reset button on the back of the device [if the flash has been successfully applied, you should see that you now have Radio version 0.00.00]
8. Allow your phone to reboot. Once it has, connect to your PC using Activesync, and copy the UNI_Unlock_v1.exe program onto your phone. Alternatively, copy it to an SD card and insert into your phone.
9. Run UNI_Unlock_v1.exe on your phone. Wait patiently.
10. Once the process completes, soft reset your phone.
11. Process is (hopefully) complete!

After that, boot loader Mode, flash the new Radio Firmware, after that you can reflash the ROM aswell, so to be sure that everything worked.
Thats it!

Enable Wireless G (802.11g) Support in HTC Universal Pocket PC Phone
HTC Universal also kwown as Qtek 9000, T-Mobile MDA Pro, Orange SPV M5000, O2 Xda Exec, i-mate JASJAR, Dopod 900, Vodafone v1640, Vodafone VPA IV, E-Plus PDA IV, Grundig GR980 and etc as it’s be re-branded and marketed by different vendors and network operators. One major disappointment and weakness of HTC Universal is it’s only support 802.11b-compatible technology, and thus unable to connec to WiFi G (802.11g) network.
It’s possible to make the HTC Universal based Pocket PC phone to compatible and able to connect to 802.11g-only access points by a registry tweak, but the speed would still be the same as 802.11b (11 Mbit/s).
The registry tweak is to change and add the following registry decimal values using a registry editing tool like the PHM Registry Editor at your HTC Universal based Pocket PC:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TIACXWLN1\PARMS: dot11SupportedRateMask=1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TIACXWLN1\PARMS: dot11SupportedRateMaskG=8

After adding and editing above registry key, soft-reset the device.

If you ever need to hardreset your Device, press the two "-" Buttons on the Keyboard and the Reset Button while the Device is turned on. A screen will come up and ask for the reset, press... o to confirm.
