MS Console + CMD CAB for WM 5.0 and WM 6.0.
it isn't designed for AYG shell, so it have some problems with keyboard button.
Useful for run application which need a console
(PGCC, PocketC#, Bochs for WinCE etc)
You can use PocketConsole too.
As WM5/WM6 user may you have to modify the registry.
Set the value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Console\OutputTo" to "0" .
PocketConsole have a lof of bugs.
So I don't recommend to use it.
It's true that PocketConsole 1.3 has a few bugs, however, there are two major problems with your MSConsole which is why I use PocketConsole.
1) I use the PhoneME CDC Java for PocketPC to run the java compiler, so I need to see the output. With PocketConsole, you run it from the command line and you see the results, as expected. With VK MSConsole, it runs in a new console window which closes right away, before I can read the output.
2) PocketConsole resizes correctly when the soft keyboard etc. is opened; MSConsole does not, so part of the console is hidden. (I'm not using the external keyboard _exclusively_.)
I'm running a Sprint HTC Touch, WM 6.
Pocket Console looked promising but it hosed my HTC PRO. I think it loaded with Windows and the device froze. I was lucky and was able to uninstall it.
MSConsole would be great if the keyboard worked!
Can anyone recommend another shell?
I am using raphael+wm6.1 or 6.5 manila
it cannot boot up after installing this msconsole. I had to hard reset my phone!
pocket console works but it automatically started and printed many lines.
It can be closed by clicking X button but not Close menu.
It seems Raphael prints some debugging logs during start up.
MSCONSOLE issue solved

Set back the value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Console\OutputTo" to "FFFFFFFF" before reset the device.
Set it back to 0 when you want to use MSCONSOLE.

WTF??? just installed the .cab, phone will not boot anymore!!
stuck at the HTC screen!!
i'm using HTC HD Mini & WinMo 6.5
Hello everybody
I have a HTC Shift on which Win XP was recently installed . The problem is that it doesn't see the Snapvue part - I can't open it and can't acccess the Comm manager either. In Snapvue I just get a white screen, with the HTC logo - and the comm manager button (upper right) doesn't do anything when pressed.
The guy who installed the Win XP said something about using Active sync to enable communication between the 2 processors (?!) - The device has Active Sync installed, but it just tells me it can't synchronize.
I am a girl, as you probably noticed, and know very little about computers and stuff....Could someone save me? I ned a step-by-step guide for solving this problem, but written for DUMMIES (such as me
I also understand I could reset the device to the original Vista - but have no idea how to do it?!
Please help - I've been looking at my Shift for 3 whole days, and am getting al depressed..
Thanks in advance!

Did you turn off the device completely? I would remove it from the power, remove the battery, and give a 10 to 20 secs and put battery back and boot it.
Let me know if you have issues.
To restore it to Vista, if the recovery partition is not swiped, just press Fn+3 at the boot time and once it goes into recovery, and just follow the steps.
didn't work....
I tried removing the battery, nothing happened
When I press Fn + 3, it just goes on and starts Windows XP normally (the xp "half" works allright - it's the comm and snapvue which are dead )
Any other idea? Is there any hope ?
oww, now it's really nasty!
I insisted on pressing the FN+3 , and after one or two questions (if I wanted to continue etc) it said "invalid data on recovery partition" - and now the screen just shows black and there's no winxp anymore - I suppose I should write some commands, as there's a white line blinking....but I don't know how to do it.....Heeeelp!
If XP has been installed in place of Vista, then the recovery partition has been wiped, so FN + 3 will not work for recovering Vista.
The Vista (or XP) side and the snapvue side are two totally different entities, so you can wipe the hard drive and snapvue will still work, as it lives in ROM.
So you have 2 separate problems, you need to re-install an OS, and you need to find out why snapvue is not booting.
I managed to enter the bios ( pressed DEL) and it says that hard drive Toshiba etc is "disabled" - so no wonder it can't boot...
Could I do something to enable it or whatever?
Or should I give up ?
Hi,
Who installed XP for you?
Since you need to now 1 or 2 things about computers to do so, I think that person is the one who can help you and do it the quickest....
Other wise you need to post a message after every step and then wait for one of us to respond.... that would take days if not weeks....
Given your name, I guess you don't live near Enschede, the netherlands do you?
Otherwise You could come by and I could give it a go....
greetz,
Pfeffa-rah
no, I live in France at the moment! But thanks for the offer anyway!
I guess I'll just take the thing to a repair shop or something
As for my name, it's "Clockwork Orange" inspired - I'm a great fan of the movie, although I'm French.
No comments regarding the guy who installed the XP! We must keep this discussion civilised!
Thanks a lot , everybody!

Ok, here goes. I thought I had the same problem but all in all wm device center installed and I could sync, but not before searching and searching.
First and foremost, make sure wm device center is installed and updated with windows update.
2. Plug in device and wait for it to say that device software is installing.
3. Click on start button, and right click on computer. Select manage.
4. Up comes computer management.
5. Select device manager
6. Open network adapters and look for Microsoft Windows Mobile remote adapter and right click on it. Select uninstall.
7. Once it is uninstalled unplug your device and plug it back in. Should be noticed and installed and able to sync again.
I am also using windows 7 64 bit with a new TP2. If that does not work, go to this website and it has other possibilities....
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center-troubleshooting.mspx
Good luck and let us know if you get it working.
thanks for your answer but..doesn't work :s
I've tried with my old phone my kaiser and it's work !...:s it's amazing...
i've plug after my tp2 and it's not working!... i've tried it on seven 32bits on another pc and it's work!... :s
i dont understand...:s
Ok, do this. Open task manager and go to Processes tab. Scroll to the bottom and look for wmplayer.exe. It shouldn't be there. Now plug in your device and watch for it to come up. If it pops up and then goes away then let me know and we'll go from there.
i never used wmplayer...
and it's not in my process...
sorry

It's not a matter of you using it or not. When you plug in and your computer recognizes it, you'll see wmplayer.exe come up and should stay up while being connected. Try one of your good phones and you'll see it pop up and stay. Just make sure you have task manager up and on Processes.
If it pops up and then goes away, there is a work around but is a big pain in the butt.
You could also have a bad phone. I know one of my HTC Advantages went bad and I had to send it in for a new one because it could not be recognized at all. I even went as far as doing a fresh install on the computer hoping maybe that would work. Turns out nothing did.
Let me know if you see the wmplayer come up or not.
I have also read that it could be a .dll issue, but if it won't work on any other computers that are working fine, then I'm going to run with a bad device.
i try with my kaiser : no wmplayer.exe or else opened juste programm for synchronisation..
and when i plug my tp2 nothing hapened..:s
crazy thing...
will i put it in my trash ? or buy an iphone lol....:s
ps : thanks for your help

I had to edit because I realized I was wrong with windows seven. I believe you might have a bad phone. Have tried using mtty yet?
mtty for?
to see if i can communicate with the phone? for what use?...
thanks
mtty checks the usb connection on the device. You disable usb in activesync/windows mobile device center and then plug in your phone. Run mtty and select usb from the drop down. Then there are several codes you can enter to check for usb connectivity. What the codes are I don't know off the top of my head, but you can do a search and it will give you them on the forums. It is actually a pretty small but usefull piece of software.
thanks a lot for your advice !
i will try tomorrow too tired tonight
i think it will be the last chance after i think i will go where i bought my phone to change it, maybe there is a probleme with my phone...
thanks again
so i try this morning...
impossible to see in mtty the USB port....:s only com1 and com2
i only see usb port when i plug my phone on bootloader and i saw USB on the bottom of screen but i cant do anything....nothing work
when i plug my phone on windows seven, i can choose activesync or disk or internet share : and only the first doesnt work...:s i can use my phone like usb driver or share my internet connexion ...
i think i will phone to the shop because i'm become to be crazy !

I know this sounds like a stupid question, but have you ran a registry cleaner or defrag program on your windows seven machine? If no then again I'm at a loss and will research this some more since I have time tonight. If so, then that more than likely is the culprit because I have ran different registry defrag/cleaner programs and once done, then windows mobile device does not function properly and I have to restore the registry from the back up that I would make prior to deletion. We'll get it figured out.....I hope.
it's really amazing... i try all the settings and all os...

Hi everybody!
I finally have come to a satisfactory end with the installation of WinXP Home SP3 on my HTC Shift.
Nevertehless, while having the XP features running nomally, I got trouble starting the TabletPC side of the things, i.e.:
1. There is an icon for the on-screen keyboard "Tablet PC Input Panel" in the taskbar (on the r/h side) but it doesn't open-up anything.
2. I also have this "Get going with TabletPC" in Start Menu/Programs, but clicking it doesn't start anything.
3. During Windows start-up or shut-down I can see the on-screen keyboard for several seconds.
I wonder if this is a due to a faulty install of the TabletPC patch or something else that I did wrong. I remember that after installing the patch I had a special welcome screen of the TabletPC offering 2 options to follow - one was "Get going with TabletPC" and another one I can't remeber the name of. Anyway, I did not chose any option, I just closed that screen and went ahead with the installation of the drivers. So far I did not find a way to start that welcome screen again.
In MyComputer / Properties / General I can read MS Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005.
The installation sequence was XP Home - Patch Tablet PC - Drivers - Windows updates - I guess that this is the correct way.
Running the patch again after the drivers and updates, on Step 1 I got the message that the program cannot write to all the registries as some might be busy with other programs. Running Step2 doesn't change anything.
BTW: what is Step 3 for? It was not mentioned in the HowTo installation guide to be run (only Steps 1 and 2), so I did not touch it.
As this is the first time I see TabletPC at work, I kindly ask for good advise from the more experienced people on what to do further to make the TabletPC side work.
Here are also a few questions more:
a) Does the TabletPC Patch work OK with WinXP Home SP3 or does it require WinXP Professional? (I installed Home thinking that it is smaller and lighter)
b) Where to look in the installed files on c:\ and what to look for in order to make sure that the TabletPC files are there
c) How can I bring back that welcome TabletPC screen to play with it
Thank's very much for any usefull idea!
Hi!
It looks that there are very few people left on this forum still using Win XP on their Shift and also reading my thread....
To make the above raised topic more simple let me rephrase one question for the start:
Are there any members having on their HTC Shift the Tablet PC patch installed based on Win XP Home and NOT on XP Professional? Does the Tablet PC work all right with XP Home?
I certainly would much appreciate any confirmation or denial. Thank you.
Size of the TabletPC_PatchXPproSP2.exe file?
Hi everybody!
Please, I need somebody to confirm me that the correct size of the TabletPC_PatchXPproSP2.exe file is 154734723B in Windows Commander, shown also in Windows Explorer as 151109kB. I need to know if I got the correct file, if not then that would explain my above mentioned problems.
Thank you!

Hi axelTP2 !
Since i ordered this days an used Shift (hope it will arrive tomorrow) im thinking of upgrading my Shift with XP or Win7 (I hate Vista)
So i looked a little around and find this at Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_XP_Tablet_PC_Edition#Tablet_PC_Edition
"Windows XP Tablet PC Edition is based on Windows XP Professional and includes all the software features provided in it"
So i think your problem is related to the (lighter) version of XP Home...
OK im not sure what i should use XP Pro as an lightweight OS or Win7 for full further support maybe give Vista a try for a few days

Hi tokl,
Thank you for answering.
No, my problem is not related to the use of XP Home. I have tried XP Prof with the same negative result. I think that the problem is related to a bad pack TabletPC_PatchXPproSP2 that I have downloaded from the only source that I've found.
So I keep digging for a solution on this topic.

This is probably more work than just a simple file patch, but since this is a technical site by nature, I don't think it's too much to put this suggestion here, which is a tutorial for you to patch your XP youself to make it w/ full Tablet functionality, same as real Tablet Edition:

Hi to all.
I need a help from you.
I have my HTC Shift and I need to make it works as phone and Gps.
I made an upgrade of S.O. from VISTA to Windows 7 Starter Edition
question are:
1. Can I upgrade a Rom Cooked with phone and Gps on it also now that I made first upgrade to Windows 7 Or I must get it back to Windows Vista to do this.
2. I'm Italian, can I wait for any Italian version Rom or it's just the same
3. I liberated my HTC (Modaco...) but when I use the usbtool I cannot attach to Vista, this is because I put first Windows 7?
4. Which is more suitable for me which ROM COOKED you suggest me to flash and for flash I must use utility downloaded from HTC : htcflash.exe ?
5. What is HardSPL, Do I need this for flashing a cooked rom?
Many many thanks for any possible answer to me.
I need to use it as a navigator with Garmin so I need to have GPS works and Phone also.

Hi sullivan2002!
Just trying to answer you questions as good as I can.
1. I guess so (I use XP), but you have to make sure by reading the appropriate threads. I think you have to leave the wifi and BT connections ON before abandoning Vista, but I also recall that there is a workaround that in case you did not do it.
2. It is up to you, but I think that if there is no Italian ROM version by now there are very little chances to have any from now on. There is no further development on this forum, the developers are just not interested in Shift any more. But I think that there is the original Italian ROM somewhere here, if that's enough for you.
3. I think so, but I have no experience with Win7. Did you install the Shift Control Center in Win7?
4. I use i00 which keeps the appearance of the initial HTC snapview screen and also is using reduced resources. But you might want to try several ROMs, once HardSPL is it fairly easy to replace the ROMs. I also enjoyed Thaihugo's Shift custom ROM "age of reason" and "age of beauty", which are very good. But there are also other very good ROMs that I didn't try. Anyway, look for the appropriate radio rom to match the selected coocked rom.
- Are you aware that there is no solution to use the phone with the headphones, but only with the speaker?
- Are you also aware that you can use the GPS only in a mixed way, the GPS module from the WinMobile side with the programs and maps installed on the Win7 side? This is because there is no access from the WinMobile side to the SD card to host the maps.
- Are you aware that there is no access from the WinMobile side to wifi or BT?
5. Definitely you have to use HardSPL. I did it before leaving Vista, but I am not sure it is compulsory to do it under Vista. But you have to do it, otherwise there are very good chances to brick the Shift.
Here are some hints, but you'll have to do some good reading on this forum:
How to flash ROM
(=copy/paste selections from this forum, not my merit)
"First of all you have to:
• liberate the Shift
• HardSPL the system.
Once you HardSPL this, then you have to
• download CustomRUU (CustomRUU.exe utility) from this Shift forum.
• Run CustomRUU as admin on Vista to load nbh file.
Make sure this RUU_Signed.nbh is in the same folder where CustomRUU.exe.
For beginers: first install HardSPL (read forum for the proper link) then the radio, then the rom.
To install radio or rom, use the main program and run as administrator
- for radio, it is "romupdateutility.exe"
- for rom, it's customruu.exe
The 1.58 radio was the original radio for the european shifts. It will make a hissing sound problem on a rom that was made for the 1.27 radios. "
Please do the appropriate readings of the forum, your Shift is at stake here.
Good luck!
thanks for answering
Hi
first of all thanks for answering me.
I would like to ask you
You said
Are you aware that there is no solution to use the phone with the headphones, but only with the speaker?
but ONLY PHONE or also Music, MP3, Films... Cause I would like to bring with me in my car and sometimes use the JACK PLUG to use with my car amplifier in order to hear music mp3... from that.
For me is just enough to install GARMIN or iGO 8 on windows 7 and run them. So maps are on hd. But I Can't understand why if I unlock Snapview... and I make work SD, I Can't use SD for putting maps and make Windows Mobile recognize it.
I understood I have to go back to VISTA and to to all I made for unlocking and after to reinstall Windows 7 starter edition (is more light and fast and I can sell it, htc better when I will not use it more in the future...)
for HardSPL sincerly I didn't understand how to use it. I thought after unlock (modaco... usbtool...) I could put exe file from htc to flash rom and use cooked rom i00 instead of htc new firmware but maybe I have to do somthing with HardSPL.
As I understood from you I can use Winmobile only for sms email and phone (if will works) and all things do better from Windows side.... gps....maps... music.... films...
Ok thanks dear friend. I see you are in Bucharest. I went in Bucharest some years ago. Am fost la Bucuresti in trecut si am vezut tot tara ta.
Ceau si o zi buna.

Only phone, there were long debates and high hopes on the forum a few years ago in the time of the Shift Project.
About Music, MP3, Films... I never tried them on the wm side, I guess there is no problem with using the headphones or an external amplifier. BUT there is a reason stopping you to use large files because the SD card does not work on wm side, therefore you cannot access your files.

The HTC Shift is an unfinished HTC job/crippled product on the winmob side, so it doesn't work with wifi, BT or SD card, only with the 3G modem. You can also sync wm via internal usb with the w7 side.
USB and Ethernet are accessible from outside only to the w7 part and not at all to the wm part.

Not necessarily, maybe you are lucky. Try first (re)installing the Shift Control Center (shagctrl) on the W7 part. Then start it from top-right button and see if you have access to wifi, BT, 3G, etc.

for HardSPL sincerly I didn't understand how to use it. I thought after unlock (modaco... usbtool...) I could put exe file from htc to flash rom and use cooked rom i00 instead of htc new firmware but maybe I have to do somthing with HardSPL.

You have to HardSPL first before using a coocked rom, otherwise you will brick your Shift wm. You cannot just drop a new rom, you have to enter the bootloader mode first with HardSPL.
With "modaco" you are just liberating your Shift, i.e. unblocking the SnapVue and turning it into the true Windows Mobile 6.0 to allow cab installs. It was said that HTC has chosen this solution (SnapView) to avoid paying the WM license, but I would say also to hide the crippled functionality of the hardware. Be aware of the licence issue if you open the Windows Mobile 6.0, please do some more reading.
If you decide to go for a coocked rom, you have to enter and prepare the bootloader mode, which is initiated with ecshift.exe from W7 without WM running at all. I don't remember exactly from one year ago, but I think that hard-resetting the winmob side and reconnecting the two operating systems via usb are necessary steps preceeding HardSPL. SPL probably stands for "System Program Loader". To HardSPL you have to install the EnableRapi.cab file on winmob side and run ShiftHardSPLFinal.exe on Vista side, which will put the special Romupdateutility (RUU). To flash ROMs after you installed HardSPL you can use the original RUU or CustomRUU.
It is difficult to explain in further details, I am not an expert, but look on this forum for the thread called "Step by step guide to liberate > hard spl > flash Rom" and follow carefully all the instructions there. You have to do a lot of reading, pay good attention to the instructions and hints given by the seniors on this forum. If you have no experience then this is no half an hour job, including the readings you have to spent many hours for being successful in using a coocked rom. But it pays off.

As I understood from you I can use Winmobile only for sms email and phone (if will works) and all things do better from Windows side.... gps....maps... music.... films....

Yes, but for GPS you have to go in a mixed way because of the reduced RAM of wm and of the SD card issues: use the built-in GPS antenna and receiver in the winmob side and install the program and the maps on W7 side; the two sides communicate through the internal usb bus, you have to trigger this connection with USB Tool. Similar for synchronizing the two parts.
GPS is working only with some coocked roms.

Nice to hear that, you are doing excellent in Romanian, congratulations. I hope that you enjoyed the country and the people. Was it as tourist or was it for business?
All the best!
HI my friend
At first for Tourist 1998.. and then business but only for 1 year.
I enjoyed always I came in your country, Romania is a very green and has a beautiful nature and countryside and people were more friendly than here in Italy. But for people, italian people is hard to understand this, due of bad facts and news from some who did mistakes here (more are zigans here who make troubles and they are similated to romanian). Of course here there are a lot of romanians and no all could have a suitable job cause also for crisis that hit our country. I went last year in Cluj for a week and also I took a car a white Dacia like the police car and I made about 1000km to go to Timisoara and return to cluj cause I pay about nothing for airplane.

I can see shift Control Center (shagctrl) from Windows 7 side but what I can do? Why I'm lucky if I could see Shagctrl open? I can't still open SD card from WM also when I click on USBTOOL... Maybe I need to do this in order to put here in my SD, HardSpl, and New i00 rom to be cooked or no? is another way to flash it? Can I connect via Activesync and do that?
Ok I will look on the forum Step by step guide to liberate and try to do it today, but first I have to put on my WM a software called pimbackup.... and SMSexport in order to backup all my sms calls...
Thank
Sullivan

Hi Sullivan!
Nice to hear about your travels in Romania. Yes, the lanscape in beautiful and most of the people are very friendly. There are good Romanians and bad Romanians, just like worldwide there are good people and bad people.
But not many of the other people make the distinction or are willing to make it.
This is part of the show of this world......

No, you are lucky if, by opening the ShagControl, you can then activate wifi and BT. If not, try reinstalling the ShagControl, it shouldn't take long. If not, you have to look here on the forum for a work-around before going back to Vista.
Btw, did you erase completely the Vista recovery partition or is it still there and you can put Vista back in 10 minutes with the F3 thing?
If you have no other choice then going back to Vista, I suggest to make a back-up image of the W7 OS that you can restore later, it will save you a lot of time.
Regarding the W7 correct installation, I suggest to read the posts of RSargeant, they are very good and he speaks also about the communication part, if I recall correctly.

That's correct. You did not get my message: you cannot open the SD card from the WinMob at all. Not even with a coocked rom.
This is a still open challenge on this forum. It appears theoretically possible, but nobody managed to do it, it is about both hardware and software (drivers and not only) changes.

Hi my friend.
Ok yesterday I made some changes to my HTC SHIFT X9500
I put hardspl, it was not so easy cause I made it 3 times, always system said me something like: I cannot open port.... and didn't want to start but at the end after 2 times and after I reset my device...it did fortunately.
I could put a cooked rom: i00
sincerly I'm not so satisfied 100% cause resolution...and other things but sure better from the previous
I wanted to put the 6.5 Rome for htc shift from CLIO 28/3/2010 but I cant download it:
http://romeos.monx.biz/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=56&Itemid=93
it's very nice but nothing to do, link is out, maybe I have to pay something to the author to download it.
Now I have inside i00 ROM Cooked but If I want to put another ROM Cooked or the original Italian Rom I have to put again HARDSPL or not? I used one time hardspl is it enough?
AFTER I upgrade Windows Visto to Windows 7 Starter Edition
I would like to ask you this:
After I upgrade to Windows 7 and I go to WM side, I cannot Attach it !!!
Attach to Vista and when I go to Windows 7 side I cannot see Pocket PC
How I can do? Is it possible or I have to remain with Vista? Oh Damn !
MY objective is to put GARMIN PC to my HTC SHIFT and use it as navigation and Mp3 device connected to my Car Radio Amplifier.

Yes, once is enough, but only until loading again an original rom (I think)! May be we get also someone else on this forum to confirm it (that after loading the original rom is necessary to HardSPL again).

Hey, you're not stuck with Vista. Did you follow the recommended threads to install Win7? Watch carefully the drivers. Ah, I think you have to do the installation of Win7 in Vista compatibility mode and as administrator. Can't tell you more, I use XP, remember?

You'll manage that, cannot be that difficult! Once the usb connection done, there should be no further problem.
Good luck!
ok
thanks
I understood about hardspl, I think so to put again if I want to put an original rom and after a cooked one.
For the rest. Now All is ok, also USBTOOL.. works I installed GPSBLUE... and GPSGATE in WM side and W7 side. In WM side I output on Activesync and in W7 side Input on Activesync.. but GARMIN Doesn't reconize GPS.
Ok about the drivers for W7, all went well about installing in Vista Compatibility mode and Administrator mode.
I have installed GARMIN 5...XXX.30 and can see only Bluetooth GPS or USB GPS, I think I must download somewhere a version like 5....xxx.70, I heard somewhere that was written that only this version can reconize GPS from Activesync or TCP/IP

Hi Sullivan2002,
After checking with someone I know, on his HTC Shift there is the following software installed:
- On the WinMob side - PPC GPS Router 2.0.0.0 (HTC 2005) to enable the GPS port and HTC GPS Tool v1.2.1.26 to do the reception.
- On the W7 side there are Franson GPS Gate 2.6, Garmin Mobile PC v 5.00.70g and GMap Catcher.
Unfortunately I can't tell you more, I'm not using Shift with GPS. Maybe in the future.
Anyway, do a search on this forum, I recall there was a thread on Gramin.
Good luck!
ok thanks a lot
I will try
