Radio 1.13.0 SD Card backup uploaded.

Please check it out from xda-dev's ftp server.

what is the procedure to backup the radio alone?? please let me know

What is the instructions to "load" this radio rom to magician?

ya thats what I meant to

why is this radio smaller than all of the others? is it safe

To backup radio rom:
enter bootloader mode and in mtty issue command:
d2s 60000000 300000
this will dump radio rom to SD card then use ntrw or winhex to save backup in PC. End of backup file is HTCE in ASCI (48 54 43 45 hex).
To write 1.13 radio, you have to replace 444 first bytes (1BC hex) in file using bytes from your backup. Write file to SD card using ntrw or winhex. Put SD card to PPC and enter bootloader mode, it will ask you to press power button to procede flashing. I think it will work this way but I'm not 100% shure! Be extremely carefull you can destroy your device!

shamus is right. People in China have flashed the radio ROM to 1.13 using this method. If you can read Chinese, you can find details in the link:
http://www.hi-pda.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=263959&fpage=1&sid=pIA2Ts
I have already upgraded mine to radio 1.13. The sound volume seems to be much louder and so far, there has been no GPRS error, etc.

I can confirm my speculations 1.13 radio ROM works on my MDA Compact now :twisted:

thanks for the instructions it worked perfect. once again I am at the forefront of convergance technology, for a few minuets :lol:

I'm not sure about this procedure hard-resetting my device after a (succesfull) flash. Will the Radio-ROM-only update cause a hard-reset, or will all my data be intact afterwards?

@Jainoxi: Once you entered bootloader mode all your data is gone - no matter whether any flashing has taken place.
@shamus: Your successful message tempts me to try it myself. And it was also new to me, that Radio ROM could be backed up (as well as being flashed the low level way).

@Chatty: I thought that entering the bootloader would preserve the data. Just flashing would hard-reset... Oh well, have to make a full backup then

Should I cut all data before this point, and discard the rest, or leave it like it is, and only change the first few bytes?
EDIT: Shamus, nevermind, figured it out. Just copy the first 444bytes from your saved Radio ROM to the new 1.13.00 ROM, and do nothing else to it

This sounds cool! Would be a dream come true to get rid of the GPRS problems! I rather wait for someone to make a cab and upload it though..

Forget about a .cab file. It's not gonna happen. But no doubt a normal ROM update with this new 1.13 Radio will soon be available, making life a lot easier
I took the 30 minutes out of my life, though, to do this update now. No problems whatsoever and it appears to be running just fine. But don't expect this to cure the GPRS problems. They seem to be related to the later versions of Caller ID and not the Radio, according to another thread on this site.

where is the new radio files?
they dont seem to be in the /Magician/Radio directory?
cheers....

On the XDA-Dev FTP: /Uploads/Magician/radio1.13.0.sd.rar
I've completed this update succesfully as well. Running like a charm in the past hour

Could anyone post this radio on http://rapidshare.de/ or other similar (http) site ?
Because I have difficulties to access ftp.
Please, share It
Thanx in advance.

running:
d2s 60000000 00300000
doesnt seem to do anything. when u rin just d2s it dumps the whole ROM. What am I doing wrong?
cheers...

You must write the command in the window, not just cut and paste...

awharton try to type d2s 60000000 300000

Extended ROM of Jasjar

Did anyone make visualble the Extended ROM of Jasjar?
I can't do that yet!

Hi...
I don't think that JasJar have an extended ROM,since it's got Magneto as the original operating system...This means that it uses the ROM chips for 2 purposesperating system,and the rest as storage since it's got persistent memory...
Am using Magneto on my Himalaya since the beginning,and never had an extended ROM...unlike SE I used to have on my device...
RAGO :lol:

Hi!
Thanks, i also have been used Himalaya with WM5.0. but it has Extende ROM, and i accessed.
And Jasjar, after hard reset, the installation of cabs files can be seen.
So think it has,but not sure....
those installation CABs were not in the visualble rom. i hope it exist.
i want to teke the MMS client from Jasjar for my Himalaya!

Hi Asukal...
Do u mean u have ms_.nbf on Himalaya running Magneto,or u mean by extended ROM the 15 MB that became storage now..?
Concerning the installation of cab files on JasJar,do u think it's the 2577 folder method that M$ use,or u think that it has an extended ROM that u can install by flashing like ms_.nbf...?
Then probably ur right...and JasJar have extended ROM hidden out there in ROM,that runs the cabs after hard reset... :?
RAGO :lol:

Ok, so if you see the installs start after a hard reset, can you soft-reset before it kicks in and avoid the operator-spam programs being installed? Or is there anything vital in there which means you have to take the branding?
Joe

Thanks, i did it already, and tried to use many version of Extended ROM unlocker (including Himalaya WM5 i used before)
But any of them were no effect!

based on HTC Universal WIKI (by itsme) their is 10MB in Universal for Extended_ROM ..
can you export your Registry please and if possible make a full rom backup using this command
d2s 70000000 08000000
or just the extended_rom
d2s 74100000 00a00000
and upload it in the ftp please ..
tnx ..
-toe

or how about
changing the value of MountHidden to 0 found in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
then soft reset
im very much interest on Arcsoft MMS Composer v3.0.0.25 ..
-toe

Hello, seeing on a previous post, someone said the Storage available was 42 Megs!
Can you confirm?!?
blue angel has 60 Megs (When Ext Rom is deleted)
...
Btw the EXT ROM cab files from the JasJar would probably be very useful for Himalayas and Blue Angels!

But sorry i cant procceed to step 2.......
i upload this bin and hope someboady help me do!

tnx Asukal ..
the dump.bin doesnt entirely get wat we expected .. but its okih maybe it has different physical address since it has totally new different spec than old devices ..
can you try the other image dumper by mamaich (try to set it to 128 MB)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=149665#149665
and let see waht will happen
btw ..heres the instructions .. (sorry i was so busy lately so i just post a link :wink: )
kill wcescomm.exe
put the device in cradle then go to bootloader .. light + power + reset
run mtty.exe/romupdate.exe and choose USB or ..\\WCEUSBSH001
then make the d2s command
d2s 70000000 08000000
or
d2s 74100000 00a00000
btw unlike the HIMALAYA MAGNETO i think it will hard reset your device if you press those three buttons but im not really sure ..
tnx ..

i did following command with mmty/ROMupdate.exe
d2s 70000000 08000000

*didnt happen hard reset aftre came back from bootloader
TestDump.exe you told me,
it was freezed on the progress! no more progress!
How should i do??

A little bit off topic, sorry :lol:
I read in some forum that you could not change the OS language in Jasjar, while other specifications indicate you can
Can anyone tell me if you can change the OS language fro say German to English (and how)?
Thanks :wink:

Change OS language, originaly, Mr, mamaich teached me how!
You can found his letter for me in english.
Please see the lower side of following page,
you can find engilish

Good luck!

i could see ExtROm with Total Comander<Mr,Mamaich told me this way.
But i couldnt copy to any other folder yet, even change attributes.

The first megabyte at 0x0 is mapped through the MMU http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Technical
and should be dumped properly.
It is also possible to use the haret.exe from
http://sdgsystems.com/pub/ipaq/hx4700/starterkit/20050611/
as a ROM/RAM dumper.
HaRET will tell a lot of other useful information:
where the video framebuffer is located and show the MMU page table.

Thanks so much!
But i already got the all cab files from Extended Rom last night (GMT +8)
and tried to upload many times, but ccould not yet!
I will try later from my office after three hours!
I couldnt find MMS client in them.
I saw it was on the rom but not on extended rom.
Also MMS client was not by a CAB files, we must pick up from dumped rom files.......
thanks!

Upgrading Orange SPV M500

Hi All,
I'm a bit of a newbie to this. I want to upgrade the ROM/ Extended ROM on my SPV M500 the current ROM version is:
Operator Version 6.06.1.175
ROM Version 1.06.00 WWE
ROM Date 01/06/2005
Radio Version 1.05.10
Extended ROM Version 1.06.175
I have found this on the Orange website: http://www.orange.ch/vrtmobilephones/offers/orangePhones/guidesLinks?ts=1137101642566
Is this the best one? I have seen on this forum some information about the Big Storage ROM. I hoped for a WM5 ROM but from what i have read this is not likely for the Magician.
If someone could give me guidance on what ROM to use and if there is an Idiots Guide/ How-To Guide on how to upgrade the ROM i would be very greatful.
Also, do i need to unlock my device? If so how do i do this and what tools do i need?
Regards
Barry

Idiot are your words, but a noob guide is here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade
The latest rom available is a 1.13WWE from T-Mobile. You'll loose all the Orange branding when you take that one. Explore the wiki for more info on backing up an existing rom & available roms etc.
M

Thanks for the advice.
When updating the ROM do I need to update the Radio and the Extended ROM?
OLTP - What is the A2DP BT Patch?

Barry,
A shipped-rom will always update the CE image (OS part & specific HTC drivers), the EXT_ROM (branding from the provider) & the Radio (phone, BT & IR) in one go. In your case make a copy from all your Orange cab-files in your ext-rom before upgrading with a non-Orange shipped-rom. You'll loose all your Orange settings etc in the upgrade process! To prevent the ext-rom from executing perform a soft-reset just after the init process from a hard-reset is finished. You got a few seconds for this before the popup with 'customizing' starts. Now the ext-rom is visible (not writeable) & you can back it up.
The A2DP patch http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33532&highlight=magician+stock+bt
allows you to stream stereo music to a stereo BT headset.
Cheers, M

OLTP,
Thanks for that. This may be a silly question but updating to a T-Mobile ROM won't affect my Orange SIM Card will it?
I have taken a look at the how to guide that you pointed me at, can you only backup the ROM to an SD card or can you back it up direct to the desktop? Im thinking not.

Hi,
Backup is fairly simple:
- get ntrw.exe from the ftp
- get romupdate http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=7510- get a SD-card > 64MB
- make backup of everything you want to keep from your magician & SD-card. everything will be wiped!!
- fully charge your magician
- uncheck usb connection in Act.sync on your PC
- put your magician in Bootloader (camera & power & soft-reset at the same time for a few seconds) wait till screen fades & reads 'serial v1.0x'. Screen is very dark since backlight is of.
- connect usb, now the screen reads 'usb v1.0x'
- start romupgrade on your pc
- pick the magician connection in the listbox, wces something I belief
- now a screen pops up
- type d2s in this screen
- follow progress on pc & magician
- wait till checksum finishes
- get SD from the magician & put it into a cardreader. DON'T FORMAT!!!
- put ntrw in C:\
- start a command window
- type on commandline: ntrw read myrom.nb1 [sd driveletter]:
- follow progress
- error at the end is normal
- finished
- reset your device & restore backup
A TMO rom won't affect your sim, the lock is somewhere else. There's a strange tool on the ftp, run it on your device & the lock is gone, veeeery strange ;-) But your warrenty might be gone as well, doing that it's all up to you.
M
Regards, M

Thanks for that OLTP.
I have another couple of questions if that is ok. In the Orange branded ROM, there are various applications like. Pocket Word and Excel, GPRS Monitor and Clearview Sutie. Do these come in the T-Mob ROM?
Also one of my biggest bugbears with the Orange ROM is the use of the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack. Does the T-Mobile ROM also use this?
Another nice to have if any can help is would some one be able to post some screen dumps of the T-Mobile interface please.

Barry,
when you make a backup of your ext-rom, you can install those cab-files again after the update. Word&Excel are in the OS-rom, gprs & clearvue are from Orange! & not included by TMO in the rom, but on CD. TMO will give you some white background with PINK accents by default on your today & dialpad. That's about it.
BT? again the M$ version. No great differnce to be expected in that.
If you ever decide to go for BS then you need the ext-rom copy as well & in your case I advice you very strong to have one.
Regards, m

OLTP,
Sorry to be a pain but i'm having one of those days and my brain is not working very well today. Would you explain the below????

Thanks again for all you help
Barry

Barry,
It's very simple, as usual: the ext-rom on your magician contains all kind of Orange stuff. When you flash a T-Mobile rom you get an ext-rom with TMO stuff, including gprs settings you definitely don't want. All Orange stuff in the rom is lost. That's why you need to backup the ext-rom.
When you ever apply BIG Storage you append the ext-rom to your current internal storage folder, increasing it by around 19MB. The ext-rom then no longer exists & all Orange or whatever stuff is in there is lost. So if you want some of the Orange stuff preserved make a backup, before you perform any rom-flashing.
Btw @ the wiki there's also the magician rom lay-out interesting to read at least once.
Regards, M

regarding the extrom...

hello everyone!
i am running wm06 for a while now and have to admit, its fckng great!
i upgraded from wm2003 directly to wm06, so its like two different worlds...
but when i was upgrading, i did not manage to merge the extrom with the rest of the storage, the unhide and unlock thing just didn't work!
but as i am now sure, that i wont need to roll back to 2003 again, merging the extrom with the rest of the storage would only make it better, no disadvantages, am i right?
or am i needing the extrom in wm06?
how is it used in wm06?
or is it just wasted space....?
as u can easily see, i am still a little confused about all that....
here are some specs from my device:
ROM Version: 5.60.00 WWE
ROM Date: 03/02/05
Radio Version: 1.15.00
Protocol Version: 1337.45
ExtROM Version: - (nothing here...??? is that bad??)
STORAGE:
total: 42,92MB
in use: 28,26MB
free: 14,66MB
PROGRAM:
total: 109,12MB
in use: 40,23MB
free: 68,90MB
thx for any help,
regards,
krz

ExtROM: Extended ROM - is the section of the ROM which the distributor of the phone (eg O2, T-Mobile, iMate, etc) store their customization (eg Today theme, ring tones, extra software) data.
In WM2003 you may found your phone having hardreset quite often - thats because WM2003 use RAM as program-storage (RAM lose everything when battery is drained)
In WM5/6 you are not using RAM as a storage anymore thus not performing hardreset often (typically once during flash)
By performing ExtROM merge, you're going to have extra MB in storage. There is NO DISADVANTAGE.
Those who prefer to have an ExtROM for whatever reason (they may HardReset their phone quite often because of testing/developing/whatever) place the "ExtROM" folder in Storage Card (Memory card/SD/MMC) and after HR it gets installed as usual. Or you can install fixes and addons "one by one".
Read more information here : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_ERK_Understand
----
To sum it up :
You dont need to merge your ExtROM (it cost you some MB)
* How to merge / is here : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardMain

thx a lot for your answer, kerio...!!
if i understood you right, the EXTROM is of NO USE at all in WM06.
so if not merged before upgrading, it will be just invisible and unused space.... am i right?
if so, i would of course prefer to merge the EXTROM with the rest of the storage to gain more free megabytes....
will the total storage size be 60,3MB after merging, like i have seen in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326515 ?!?
is it possible to merge the EXTROM after having WM06 installed?
can i merge EXTROM without reinstalling WM06 and all programs?
btw: unhiding and unlocking is NOT working on my device....
when clicking UNHIDE, nothing happens,
when clicking UNLOCK i get the following error:
Code:
ERROR: FL_IOCTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION - The parameter is incorrect.
what am i doing wrong??
i know, that are a lot of questions, but i would be very thankful if someone could help me with that...
thx in advance!
regards,
krz

bump bump

I would also be interested if somebody suuggests new solutions for "big storage" as my device does accept unlock and unhide, but when using "repart_DOC.exe" it gives me errors and eosn't repartition the ROM...

Downgrade to WM2003 , play da game and flash to wm6

Xeon's got the idea. You will need to to downgrade to WM2003, unlock, unhide and repartition the extrom. Once complete then flash up to the WM6.
I had to do the same thing, as I had not correctly repartitioned the extrom when I moved up too WM5. Good luck.

hello and thx a lot for all your ansers!
how many MBs will I gain from merging EXTROM?
and is there a way to use that space without merging?
anyone knows??

i have wm2003 and i can't unhide , unlock, or format doc, cos everytime i'm trying i can see , FL_IOCTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION the parameter is incorrect, can anyone help me?

We got the point now.
Advise the wiki should be revised as so many people are confusing about the ExtROM.

Dear tangwd898,
lol
Have you ever read the wiki? Could you give me the parts where "you must revert back to WM2003" is missing?

Dear kerio,
I did read the Wiki regarding the ExtROM for more than 3 three times, I can't get any informations that we can't modify the ExtROM in OS wm5.0 or wm6.0 from the thread - Understanding the Blue Angle Extended ROM:-
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_ERK_Understand
Understanding the Blue Angle Extended ROM
The Extended ROM is shipped as ms_.nbf and loaded with the BaUpgradeUt.exe
The ms_.nbf is extracted during the Upgrade and written to folder \Extended_Rom
The \Extended_Rom folder is hidden and read only
The Extended ROM can un hidden with the following tool Unlock tool
The Extended ROM is limited to 16MB in size
The Numbering of the Extended ROM is operator dependent:
Thus a QTEK version 1.22.225 might or might not have higher patches than a I-Mate version 1.22.62
Extended ROMs are built around the major OS release (1.22, 1.31)
It is NOT advisable to install cabs from a Extended ROM if the Windows Mobile 2003 Version are not the same
It is NOT advisable to install patches if the CE versions (1.22, 1.31) are different.
(They might have already been included in that CE version.)
Execution of the Extended ROM
CheckAutorun.exe (which is started from \Windows\Startup\CheckAutorun.lnk) executes the AutoRun.exe
AutoRun.exe is found in the \Extended_Rom Folder
AutoRun.exe reads the \Extended_Rom\Config.txt and executes the commnands in that file
The pointer for AutoRun.exe HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\AutoRun is set to \Extended_ROM\AutoRun
The pointer for Config.txt HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\AutoRunCFG is set to \Extended_ROM\AutoRunCFG
The Touch screen is disabled by the first command (TPDisable.exe)in the Config.txt
The Touch screen is enabled by the 2nd to last command (TPEnable.exe)in the Config.txt
The last Command of the config.txt (RST) performs a soft reset
Content of the Extended ROM
The Extended ROM consists of System files (TPDisable.exe, TPEnable.exe, AutoRun.exe, Config.txt)
The Extended ROM consists of *.CAB installation files
The installation files fall into the following types
Applications: Album, Fax, Zip
Patches for the Hardware: Button9 on the Hardware Keyboard
Patches for the software: Blue tooth upgrade
Provider specific files and programs: Splash screen, Internet Explorer defaults, telco settings, etc.
Effects of a Hard Reset
A Hard Reset will NOT re-extract the ms_.nbf
A Hard Reset will reload the contents of the \Extended_Rom folder
A Hard Reset will reload the OS and thus also clean the registry
Why is this of interest to me?
The Extended ROM can be cooked (Customize the ROM to your own liking)
What ever you put in the \Extended_Rom folder will remain even after a Hard Reset
The \Storage will not be overwritten on a Hard Reset
Thus one is able to keep CAB files on \Storage for automatic reinstallation after a Hard Reset
You can keep your "customized" Extended ROM and only perform a OS or Radio Upgrade

"you must revert back to WM2003" - may be found at other threads but i think this thread "Understanding the Blue Angle Extended ROM" should include this message.
Thank you.

I dont think so
When performing upgrade you should follow the instruction (WM5 and WM6 pages) when you dont - then you may find yourself in trouble.
1. The main page is only for WM2003
2. Error message -> google -> sollution (30sec)
3. You can add it to the wiki (anyone can)

The Extended ROM can be cooked (Customize the ROM to your own liking)
What ever you put in the \Extended_Rom folder will remain even after a Hard Reset The \Storage will not be overwritten on a Hard Reset
Thus one is able to keep CAB files on \Storage for automatic reinstallation after a Hard Reset
You can keep your "customized" Extended ROM and only perform a OS or Radio Upgrade

I still have some questions:-
- Why my *.cab files in the extROM folder all missing after i done a hard Reset?
- How to keep all *.cab files in the ExtROM folder after the hard reset?
Thank you.

Guys and Gals
The BA Wiki was started over 2 years or more ago by a new guy on the forum who trying to work out how to get his German MDAIII flashed with an English rom.
He wrote it in order that the information was found in one place as he found it hard to find it in all the threads, this finding problem is still true today.
Well as you see times have changed and the porblems of WM5 and WM6 were not know at that time and as you also see not many people have bothered to invest time back into documneting in wiki. Its become more of a get and ***** about wiki not being updated than a give back some of the time in searching the threads and update wiki for the next person.
Some were in the begining it says if you don't like what you read then fix it.
This is best done by those people that are going through the learning curve as they read Wiki and they should beable to correct / add / embelish on what is written and what needs to be said.
Its a thought.

Misson impossible is that type of Cab file that is no longer there after a hard reset (or when they are executed) as they delete themselves.
Change the properties to read only will solve that.

In correspondance with cosmicgate, i decided to post our guide on how to upgrade here, to avoid question further questions about that:
THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE SUITABLE FOR WINDOWS XP COMPUTERS ONLY!!!
For people running WM5/6x but with 43MB of storage:
You have to downgrade to WM2003 and here's how to do that:
1. Download this Windows Mobile 2003 SE rom:
Download from Rapidshare
Download from Uploaded.to
and extract it to a folder of your choice.
2. Remove both the the SIM card and the sd card
3. Put the device into Bootloader Mode, pressing power+record and reset
4. your device display shows Serial v2.0x
5. on the pc (running Windows XP!) open the Task manager, go to the 2nd tab (Processes) and kill "wcescomm.exe" and "WCSEMgr.exe"
6. Now let's start the actual Upgrade:
7. Navigate to the Upgrade folder
8. Start Maupgradeut_noid
9. If in the 2nd window the rom version is not shown, something went wrong, start over!
10. Then start the upgrade and you should see a progress bar, also look at the device's display, it should also show the progress.
11. After it finishes perform a "WM2003 hard reset" by pressing power and reset
12. wait for the extrom to finish
13. now you can re-insert your sim and sd card (if you are planning to go on from here, you can also leave them out).
14. proceed with "For devices running wm2003"
For devices running wm2003:
1. Copy repart_doc.exe and the unlocker cab to the device and install the unlocker. In the start menu you will find a folder named "Extrom Tool".
2. Click "unhide" (if you are getting an error message, proceed with 2.a, else with 3.)
2.a the unlocker installs into the standard folder for program files, which depends on the rom language can be "\programme" or "\programmes" etc.
2.b the link in the start menu always points to "\program files"
2.c the easiest way, to solve that, is to rename your program files folder to "\program files"
2.d that destroys parts of the system, but doesn't matter because it is just needed for unlocking
2.e since now the link location should be correct, proceed with step 3.
3. Click "unlock", maybe a soft reset is needed.
4. Start repart_doc.exe
5. Set the future size, if not pre-entered, to 128kb (smallest possible partition size on this file system)
6. Click "Format now!"
7. Soft reset
8. Go back to the Extrom Tools
9. "Lock"
10. "Hide"
11. Now proceed with "Upgrading a WM5/6 device"
Upgrading a WM5/6 device
1. Remove both the the SIM card and the sd card
2. Put the device into Bootloader Mode, pressing power+record and reset
3. your device display shows Serial v2.0x
4. on the pc (running Windows XP!) open the Task manager, go to the 2nd tab (Processes) and kill "wcescomm.exe" and "WCSEMgr.exe"
5. Now let's start the actual Upgrade:
5.a copy the downloaded nk.nbf to any given folder, let's call it Upgrade 28008
5.b copy the contents of this package to the same folder: MAupgradeUt_noID
5.c Start MAupgradeut_noID
6. If in the 2nd window the rom version is not shown, something went wrong, start over!
7. Then start the upgrade and you should see a progress bar, also look at the device's display, it should also show the progress.
8. After finishing, take the device out of the cradle take out the battery and insert the SIM card
9. copy the EXTROM folder to the sd card and insert the sd card
10. Hard reset the device, pressing reset+power and record+camera and in the menu, that appears set:
Enable_Kitl: NO
Clean Registry Hive: YES
Format Storage: YES
using the camera and record buttons.
11. press the mail button to confirm your selection.
12. your device starts for the first time, you align the screen and let the extrom install, it soft resets and your device is ready to use

Special thanx to d tow and chef tony
I will try it.

Synchronization does not work Microsoft ActiveSync Thank you Chef_Tony

what exactly does not work for you, i tested the sync with contacts, tasks, favorites and appointments and it all works out fine so far.
did you hard reset your device after upgrading, did you delete the old sync profile, set up a new one and set the content settings right?

changed 1st post

when using Lanscape mode, and at the restart, the screen will return to Potrait with a touch screen that does not irregular like the R71's Xplode. but it was not my experience on the d-two ROM version 1 (WM6.5.1 build 23052). try to use the method Lanscape then restart, then you will experience it.
one again
about gprs icon

This solved the input settings problem:
Remove the "Redirect" value under the following keys:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Input]
Until now, it seems to be a very fast and stable ROM!! My congratulations on this D-two!! and my thanks to Chef_Tony.
