 !! YOU USE THIS PIECE OF DATA AT YOUR OWN RISK!!		 !!
 !! SHOULD YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE, NO HARBOUR TOWARDS ME!! !!
 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
					   
 HOW TO UPDATE:
					   0) !! CHARGE YOUR BATTERY !!
					   1) Synchronise with Outlook (or backup all your data somehow)
					   2) Copy the following files to the root of microSD (formatted into [b]FAT16[/b] filesystem) card:
						   - USBDLUpdate_Console.exe
						   - temp.bin
					   3) Put the card into M700
					   4) Enter bootloader mode (press and hold Camera button, Record button [the one close to
						  vol+/vol- buttons] and Power button; press Reset while keeping all above buttons PRESSED;
						  keep the buttons PRESSED [except Reset] until M700 shows "USB Downloader ***" etc.)
					   5) If your card is formatted correctly, you should see the following info:
						   USB Downloader 0019
						   Flash Capacity=128MB
					   
						   USB Downloader Ready.
						   SD Card In
						   Find SDMMC Card.
						   File= TEMP	BIN
						   Program Image from SDMMC

I have tried flashing this ROM and I get an error when I go to Bootloader mode that indicates an invalid image file. Evidently it doesn't like the temp.bin file. I have loaded both files onto a blank 2GB microSD card. Any ideas?

Stay cool.

Hello TB,

Could you provide the tools you used to cook the ROM!?!? And even better could you do an Guide to cook ROM's?
How did you manage to change the infamous "Turn on Wifi"?

Cheers

I would love to see that too!! It still is a bit "mysterious" to me, even after reading the cooking X500 thread...
Great job that your doing this!! :thumbs up:

BTW, why did you include the POP3/PIN patch? That really ruined my sound!
What's the free storage after a hard reset?

If you could post some info how to do it...

Couldn't believe myself - just add [HKLM\ControlPanel\WrlsMgr] "Redirect"="WirelessManager.exe"
(can be changed to "wrlsmgr.exe" to use generic MS manager, however wifi is unavailable until preloaded :/
will have to read about x800 ROM with Eten wireless manager removed). This also puts Wireless Manager
back to Control Panel.

Damn, didn't notice any changes in sound quality. I've included it 'cause it is said to be installed as first, before all other CABs.
(It replaces the radio startup driver).
Memory after hard reset:
Storage:
   Total:  57,20MB
   In use:  4,35MB
   Free:   52,85MB

Program:
   Total:  47,67MB
   In use: 17,28MB
   Free:   30,18MB

(CABs skipped; btw - the MMS CAB contains only reg entries ;) )

Upload it if you can...

I'll post cooking instructions later :) Have no time right now :/ (btw - its possible to deduct from x500 cooking thread + a couple of XDA-Dev ROM cooking threads how to cook)
Stay cool.

The quality especially deteriorates when using a BT headset, with this patch.
Great work!

Hello to you all especially to ROM "cook-masters" !!! :salute:
I owe Mio A701 and I don't plan to buy new device BUT... I just want to wish you GOOD LUCK with cooking new ROMs for E-Ten devices. This has been really needed because I think E-Ten devices are good machines but it's quality is poor because of bugs in ROMs :/
So GOOD LUCK folks!!!

BTW if you are looking for good "one-hand" keyboard for your QVGA/VGA PocketPC than you may like mine on www.taptapkeyb.wz.cz :yahoo:

Regards
