History of my XDA 2:
• Supplied with WM2003, no problems.
• Upgraded to WM2003SE, no problems.
• Recently upgraded to WM2005, phone did not work ("No Service" everywhere I went).
• Downgraded to WM2003SE, no problems, phone works fine.
• Tried upgrading to WM2005 again, phone does not work again.
I have tried everything I can logically think of to try and get the phone to work. I have checked the country setting (UK), phone settings (all looks fine, but I'm not 100% sure what the settings should be), unlocked my phone using xda2unlock, and tried different sims.
I'm using the BuzzDev 60b.96 release. Has anyone else had this problem?
Update: I've just remembered that my phone did work for a while after upgrading to WM2005. It might have been some program I installed that caused the problem. I've also noticed that when I downgraded to WM2003 and upgraded to WM2005 again, all my settings and programs I installed in WM2005 originally are still there. Does anyone know how to reset the memory completely so my programs and settings in WM2005 will be reset to a clean installation?
Update 2 - Problem Solved!: I've just performed a format by holding the Camera and Record button while doing a reset, and WM2005 just reinstalled. Now the phone works fine!
Try this ...
As for your preinstalled software which doesn't seem to get erased when updating your rom, simply downgrade your ppc to wm2003se and install the extended rom unlocker. Then unlock and unhide your extended rom. Then from file explorer go to your (storage) drive and delete everything inside the drive and then go to your extended rom drive and delete everything there. This should remove any installed software from your pre-wm2005 installation.
Now as for your radio problem, I would suggest you use either radio rom version 1.17 or 1.18 and see which one works. Now if you've tried upgrading your ppc using only buzz lightyears os rom WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE the radio rom, then you've only upgraded your os rom and have used your pre-existing radio rom that was properly running on wm2003se but seemed to fail on wm20051.6b. Now, in this case, I would suggest you either download radio versions 1.17 or 1.18 nb files and adding them to your os update setup directory along with buss lightyear's wm2005 1.6b You can find both radio versions on our FTP site
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Himalaya_SEs/Radio/
From there you can try both radio roms and see which one works best with u. Good Luck ;-) Tareq A.N
Has anyone else found that PocketZenPhone doesn't work properly after upgrading their ROM (O2 Exec) ?
The profiles switch, but if I click on the settings icon it doesn't do anything so can't customise profiles
Have just downloaded latest version of PZP and makes no difference...
i too can't open the settings but no rom upgrade was done. zendrui is aware of it but we couldn't figure it out why. my other option is to hard reset but decided not to. let me know if you figure it out.
Works for me...
The only thing I've had difficulties with lately is that the .txt files appear to be out of step with what the programs expects to see, somehow.
Try reinstalling with the ones that come set up with the program, then recustomising those ones? That's what I did, and now it works fine (though this was BEFORE the upgrade).

Got it working now - hadn't installed the PZP tools CAB properly

On the WM Team Blog they address the reaction to the nearly worthless battery icon replacing the clock. Good news is that ROMs using AKU2.2 and later will allow you to add the clock back in, bad news is that the current JasJar ROM (1.30.76) doesn't seem to have the 2.2 release of AKU.
Can people with other carrier's ROMs check to see if the registry edit they provide works with your ROM?
The egistry edit is to add a DWORD titled ShowTitleBarClock with the value of 1 in the HKEYLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Shell location.
Didn't work for me
Doesn't work in the latest dopod rom 1.30.111 either...
The message on the MS site is from yesterday, and the guy is speaking of a "further release", i think AKU 2.2 don't exist yet
btw: isn't working on my wizard too
AKU 2.2.1 exists...
this is the nessesery file, you need to replace the existing one with this one (windows directory)
and add
[HKEYLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Shell]
"ShowTitleBarClock"=dword:1
this is only for AKU 2.0!
!!!Attention: Make a backup and read through this tropic!!!
Problems with Universal roms!!!!
Perhaps related to the certification. Plz someone with removed certification try this... and post the results.
RE
The shell32.exe file in my QTEK 9000 is located in ROM something which you cannot copy out.
Does a soft reset reverts back to original battery icon if I'll to replace with the attached shell32.exe file?
After the battery icon is replaced by the clock icon, can I add a date to it also using any known method to put a date on top of the clock?
I believe a hard reset will definitely reverts back to the original battery icon, right?
Thanks
only a hard reset reverts back to the original.
add a date: I think so... not tested, but it should work.
I have a special rom where it is possible to overwrite system files, but It could be difficult to replase shell32.exe on a normal rom and I cant make a cab, because I dont know how to sign that.
plz someone with the knowledge about that make a cab.
don't bother, because even if you replace the shell32.dll, it wont restart, displaying the keyboard and getting stuck there.
You will have to hard reset and restore from a backup to get back your device.
A word of warning - back up before trying this. It hosed my universal. It would not even finish booting, and I had to hard reset.
Surur
Ok, I realy sorry.
It works for me...
Himalaya (rom based on 2.00a)
On my ROM (Qtek latest) in \Shell\Taskbar there's a regkey LimitedClock set to 1. If I set that to 0, the clock will at least display everywhere except Today, both in landscape and portrait modes. With it set to 0 as per standard, the clock only shows up while in apps *and* landscape, apps/portrait it doesn't. As long as the Today screen time&date plugin is switched on, this means you've always got the clock. BTW, needs a softreset to activate, Taskbar settings apparently are only read on first startup.

I'm sure you realise this is a universal forum? You should edit your post to remove your file before somebody else zaps it's unit.
I dont think so, because the os is the same.
My rom is not realy Himalaya, it is a ported wizard os and only the drivers of Himalaya.
So the file should work on all WM5 devices, perhaps the problem is related to the removed certification on Him 2.0 rom's.
(This file is from an Atom rom not Himalaya)
But you are right, I edited the post.
Disablesecurity.cab, replace shell32.exe with new, softreset
Hangs at boot with the soft keyboard superimposed over the boot screen. Hard reset to fix.
Basically, avoid this for a while.
......or use Wisbar Advance 2 and you have your clock back on the Today screen....
Cheers

I can confirm this - same result on the latest O2 AKU2 Rom.

Same on the Dutch SPV M3000 AKU2 ROM. Phone doesn't reboot.. ..had to hard reset...

You can access that feature simply by going to the date/time settings and enabling "Display the clock on the title bar in all programs" on the |More| tab.
O2 xda Atom have AKU2.2.1 and it really works no more battery icon.

Hello,
It is my first post on this forum.
Yesterday, I unlocked my frensh SPVM3000 (Wizard) and tried to replace my "shell32.exe" by the "shell32.exe" downloadable on this post.
It was a BAD idea! My SPV starting crashed because it was for Universal smartphone. I used the button sequence to re-install the original software.
Have you an address where I can download the "shell32.exe" of the Wizard AKU 2.2 software?
Thanks for your help.
Seb...
this is really pounding my ass... my wifi can be enabled "sometimes" mainly after a hard reset but then after a day of normal operation it refuses to enable.
cant seem to find anyone with the same problem.. when enabled it works fine can find and connect to any network just wont enable after a while.
soft reset does nothing
please point me in the right direction I dont mind reading/searching.
thanks in advance
si
2 Questions regarding your problem...
1. What ROM are you using? WM5 WM6? Which version of it?
2. By not enabling, do you mean that it does not switch on at all if pressed in the comm manager? or does it come on but refuses to connect to any Wi-Fi Network?
Let me know perhpas I can help
thanks for ur reply, I'm using WM5 ill check which version of rom now( soft reset?)
yes I mean it won't turn on when it does turn on it works fine
doesn't seem to be any reason why though I checked what programs were running nothing seems to be interfereing?!
anyway thanks for ur help
si
Your Problem should be easy to fix.. I hope...
Get a registry editor for your Wizard... something like Resco Explorer has a nice one built in or Total Commander will also work
Then go and change this key in the Registry
HKLM\Comm\TNETWLN1\Parms\HTCPreloadWifi
Default value is 0 change it to 1 and exit the editor... play around with the Wizard for about 2-3 min and do a soft reset on the device. (This is needed to ensure that the Wizard actually stores the change to the registry.)
If it does not work check the key in the registry again and make sure it is changed... repeat the above steps if needed...
Hope you get it right.
PS Also check in the \Windows\Startup\ folder that WifiInit.lnk is there...
thanks for the advice, using total commander i changed the value waited soft reset ( value stayed changed) unfortunatly it didnt work. wifiinit.lnk is in startup too.
by the way here is the rom info
ipl - 2.21.0001
spl - 2.21.0001
gsm - 02.07.10
os - 2.21.4.1
really hope you have another idea? or hint
thanks so far at least that is ruled out.
there is another value. PreloadStatus.. change value from 0 to 1 and check again... other wise check through the Windows Mobile 6 Section and try to upgrade your ROM to something like NBD8.1 It is seriously much better than the WM5 you currently have..
Regards,
Johan
ok thanks I tried that value aswell, still intermittent with no rhyme or reason,anyway will try to upgrade to wm6.
thanks for your time
si
update: upgraded to wm6 nbd 8.2 rom but still got the same problem WIFI works after a soft reset but once disabled wont re-enable!
I tried the reg edits again but it doesnt seem to make any difference.
please help before I make bits of it with my hoof!
thnks again
si
hi jus wondering if anyone has any ideas? still doing my head in so it is!
I upgraded my Blueangel to windows mobile 6 a couple of days ago, yesterday i was reset it. when it powered on i have the windows mobile 6 screen and nothings happens thereafter, it is not connection to activesync and i m not able to ROM Upgrade.
Please help me ASAP
read the wiki carefully
try a hard reset after and do the no+yes+yes ritual in the hard reset.. it should worked...
regards
adri
baybe it is because third party software you installed, it happened to me with the touchflo which replaced the touch.dll with another one for another device, also with HTC Plus today plugin
I had it after installing VBAR... you have to reset it and press the record and camera button, then clear the registry HIVE and press the mail button... it will be hard resetted but in wm6 you don't lose any data, just some settings and cabs...
Yeah, I got this problem too a few days ago.. annoying...
When I tried to back up my data using Sunnysoft backup manager, BA had to restart, and then it stuck in the WM6 page... ended up clearing the whole thing again using the no yes yes option...BA was able to start up on safe mode though... weird
I only had this problem once though....
Hmmm, interesting few people have this problems with different circumstances, however leading to the same problem...
is it really WM6 issue or is it 3rd party apps issue?

good question!
it just happened to me as well.... i had an almost fresh install of WM2006 (just downgraded, merged Extrom and upgraded again).
I installed some few cabs and eventhough it worked fine for a day, it then started to freeze while booting again and again....
i never had the problem before merging the rom though...
it happened to me also, after doing a soft reset using pbar. it ends up in the green screen with the microsoft logo without going any further. i've tried several soft resets after but it always ends up in that mode.
had to perform a hard reset and install my favorite apps again.
well maybe there are some incompatiblityes with those programs you mentioned, i have not use them my BA has the default apps (the posted cabs) Sprite Backup 6, Htc Home 1.5, Adobe Flash Lite and i have no problems at all

have you installed all cabs you posted (cabs & cabs2)?
in what order?
whats Sprite Backup?
and which one is the HTC Home 1.5? (i only see HTC Home6?!?)
sorry, but i am really getting more and more confused...
regards,krz
Sprite backup is the best backup softweare IMO, yes all cabs (cabs and cabs2) Home6 is HTC Home 1.5
thank you very much for your answer, xplode!
there are three HTC HOME6 cabs out there:
1) Helmi HomePlug_Comp.cab: found in Helmi_C's WM2006 archive FLASH.zip
2) Helmi_HtcHome6_WM5_comp_sdkcert.cab: found in Helmi_C's WM2006 archive AddOn.rar
3) HOME6: an archive with two folders (WM5 + WM6) and HTCHome.cab
are there any differences?
is one better than the others?
i never found an answer to these questions...

Use Home6 if you want to be able to modify the HTC Home tabs from 6 (default) to less than 6..... this is the only one working....
With Helmi_HTCHome6.. it also works, but cannot modify the tabs......
never tried the other one....
OK OK I had this problem and it solved it without losing data. First i tried to reset the device , like 30 times with no success. Even with a hard reset it didnt work. So you just Put ur device in the booloader mode and then soft reset it and voila. i dont know if it's really the correct solution but it worked for me for 3 times when i had that dumb WM6 screen. It's because of Battery status software ( 100% sure )
BA Freezing

Can anyone tell us which third parties programs that cause the freezing or which are compatible whit WM6. To used or avoid them.
Hi,
same problem here. I just installed the cabs from helmi (Thanks again!), the HTC Home (Helmi_HtcHome6_WM5_comp_sdkcert.cab), Acrobat reader and powerpoint (out of this cabs in the first message in the central BA6 Thread) and no additional software. I've re-installed it two times, but that doesn't help .
@ Xeon: Maybe a good work-around, I will give him a try,
UPDATE: @ XEON: Doesn't work for me
regards
Andreas
OK im again facing the same problem it seems my solution didnt work. As far as it seems to, i had to soft/hard reset more than 20 times to solve it. i dont get it. when i reset it the problem is still bla bla bla.. but when u leave it stuck for 10 mins and then reset it , it will work. the point is that after all , u dont need to format/clear registry. All u need is to keep trying. WEIRD [email protected]#[email protected]$#$
I keep having the problem after installing a new cab with a soft reset. The only way to get out of the WM6 screen is to go into bootloader and a soft reset. Just like Xeon said. However, I don't think it is the battery issue because if I just do a normal soft reset, it starts up fine. The problem arrives only when a soft reset is required to finish an installation from cab.
