Did you backup your contacts before upgrading and then restored back to your phone again after upgrading ?
By backup, I hope you mean via activesync?
no i didnt make a backup .. at all. do i need to make some kind of backup then to get the contacts menu to work???
as i cant even access the menu it goes to load but shuts itself ?
btw thanks guys for replies..
Oh dude, just hard reset your device. It'll be fine.
did you install pocketcm?
does your sms inbox still work?
ive tried hardreset... no difference.
yes my sms inbox works fine, this was with pocketCM and normal contacts list.

can someone please help me figure out what the deal is with my phone, it's been working great minus the fact it wont work with activesycn anymore, but today i was at my friends using wifi and surfing the net and using Remote Desktop and it locked up, i rebooted it with the reset button and it sits at the Windows Mobile splash screen, for 45+mins, i havent waiting longer than that, i noticed if i pull the battery, sim, SD out and let it sit, put it all back together, press all the buttons, turn it back on and press buttons while is coming on, itll come on, dont know why i have to press stuff lol but its working, and its done this twice, if my activesync worked i'd re-flash it but this rom hasnt been too bad for me, it's one of the earlier Faria releases of wm6. anyone know what would cause it to freeze up during boot and work Sometimes? or a way to make it boot up for sure w/o doing a hard reset.
i noticed it will boot up if i press some buttons during the first/second splash screen, the HTC one and the one with the version numbers, if the keyboard lights up i know its gunna boot successfully. this is crazy. and annoying.
You might try flashing with Shelltool. I'e never done that but it seems to work.
Have you tried to do a hard reset on it? No flash is required. Also for ActiveSync, go to Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC and uncheck (or check) the box there and see if ActiveSync starts working for you.
And you can always flash directly to the bootloader (no activesync required) if thats what you want to do. Just turn off the phone, then hold the camera button and turn the phone back on. As long as you see USB above the left softkey you are good to go for flashing a different rom onto your phone. I would strongly suggest if you do this to flash back to an official ROM first (T-Mobile 2.26 is a good one to use) and then flash a custom rom of your choice.
No idea why this would have started, but my guess is something you have recently added has a conflict on your phone. You might want to go to remove programs and remove the last couple of things. Then grab a trial copy of MemMaid and run that to clean up bad registry entries and such. See if the problem goes away.
Good luck!
Ah.. See, I want to flash really bad and try something with the new HTC Touch on it, there are so many roms lol, i don't even know where i saved the file for the one im using now.. but the only problem is, i cannot get the damn thing to sync with activesync, i've tried reinstalling it and unchecking the other box on the phone, no go. i'm sure there is no other way to back everything up is there? :-( i'll try memmaid too just incase that can fix the registry. any specific rom you recommend with HTC Touch ? i text A LOT with my phone so i'm mainly only worried about texting and taking pictures, but i've got the UK rom to install, i heard that is better than my current one.

I don't care for the Touch stuff (I assume you are talking the Cube), so I really can't comment on that. You'll have to try that yourself.
Use PIM Backup to backup your SMS, MMS, Calendar, contacts and more to your SD card. You could install it by downloading it directly to your phone (its just a zip file with the exe that you run).
As I said, you can upgrade without activesync. Just go to the bootloader as I described.
im totally new to the whole pocket pc thing, and i dont know what any of these computer words you are saying mean, and i want to install this RUU thing, but im not exactly sure how
can someone run me thru step by step how to install this custom software to my kaiser?
Everything you need to know is in the Wiki.
Keyboard help PLEASE
I guess I am a victim of technology. I installed HTC,Pocket CM, and S2U2 on my phone and now my Tilt is the slowest thing I have ever seen in my life. I removed Pocket, and S2U2 and now when I try 2 send a text the letters disappear after about the 3rd word. Only on my screen though it still sends the text the letters are jus invisible 2 me!!! Crazy I know. I have removed the battery and poked the hole so does any1 know what else I can do?? My contacts are saved to the phone not the sim card bcuz I have 700 contacts so that is why I don't want 2 do a hard reset.

Hi,
I sugest to make a backup with Pim backup, it works perfectly... (you can find it in Dutty's, alltheway, p1tater and others cabs collection...)
cheers
My device Qtek 9100 was updated to Black Diamond 3.1. It was working great, until once tel. hang up when works, after restart it hangs up and after that never start.I throw that f tel somewhere on shelves for some time, but now i really need contacts and sms from it
Is any way to start tel in safe mode and safe contacts?
I did full reset. Device has started succesfully.
Now im trying to find something to recover after format.
Does somebody know where are files which contain sms and contacts?
you cant find it after a hardreset..they are gone

There could leave some fragments from contact files *.vcf, *.arc after format. That is what i want to get.
Let me start by saying I'm sorry if this is the wrong section but it is in relation to Roms...
I had my Wing set up on ttran's Open Touch v3.0 Biggy for a goooood long time (it was around when v4.0 was coming out) and all was perfectly good. No real issues. Today my boss said "Hey, let's get your phone synced up to get work email through there." After explaining I really didn't want to, he assured me everything is flawless on his Palm which runs Windows Mobile. "I've got this down to a science." Well long story short, he jacked the phone up BIG TIME! I lost all my contacts, I lost all my SMS, the phone would lock up doing anything except to play a game, I couldn't load the old backup on my SD card (which was from HTC Backup program)... again, the phone was JACKED. I think it all happened when the email wasn't working right because some settings weren't right so he deleted Microsoft Exchange Server on the phone and then the issues started. Anyhow, I get home and figure I need to update to a new Bad Ass Rom so no big deal. I find ttran's newest 7.7 Rom and get it set up. Then I load up HTCBackup so I can restore the contacts, messages, etc. Once I do that, all the contacts are back (thank god) but when I go to check my messages, there's not even the option there!?! It only has "Setup Email." Not even the option as if SMS/MMS was nowhere to be found. I looked everywhere and NOTHING! So I flash it to the v3.0 and get the contacts back and it's fine now but I really like the look of the newer Roms (and might want to try some other cook's too).
So my question to you all is what am I doing wrong?!? I'm confused to a new degree and am just smart enough about these phones to get a Rom flashed, I'm far from technical. Please let me know what you all think here. I'm considering trying to HardSPL the phone and trying the new WM6.5 (do I need HardSPL for that?). The way I see it, if I brick the phone, I was considering changing to the new G1 anyway. lol I'd really rather keep this phone as there's so much cool **** I can do with it thanks to the amazing cooks here on XDA! Love this site and my Wing... it's the only phone I've ever had for 2 years and still love it.
Help!
Anyone have an idea?
Jus reflash the ROM to get back your MMS/SMS then restore the backup again ..
if you want to flash to most of the newer roims u do in fact have to hardspl for them to work and not brick your phome, as far as mms/sms, are you trying to retrieve your old messages hat were on your phone or just the option to be able to send and receive them, as far as i know once you flash you will always loose all your saved messages and if you just want the option, some dont have mms working you have to install arcsoft and network wizard and that should do the trick hope iv helped with your problem
I went ahead and reflashed it back to the 3.0 as it used to be, then installed the HTCBackup and restored my contacts. Sure I lost all the SMS/MMS but oh well. When I tried flashing back to the 7.7 and restored my contacts (since they would be lost again, is this normal?) but again, the Rom doesn't even have the option to do any sort of messaging. I said screw it and went back to the 3.0 and have it now. What I'm wondering now is why does the messaging now thread them like it used to? I get the messaging like any regular phone, one message at a time. The way it used to would keep a thread of messages from each person. How can I correct this? Should I just HardSPL the phone and go to a new Rom??
any ideas??
search threaded msg hack. should guide you through the steps
Can anyone help me find the network wizard for the Wing? I want to upgrade to ttran's 7.7 rom but the messaging doesn't work. I have searched on here and all I find are people saying you need to use it, nowhere on where to find it. Thanks!
as far as i remember, ttran's latest releases had a lot of bugs in it.. sadly, ttran lost his phone before having a fix on these bugs.. i also remember having a lot of sms/mms issues.. you can try reflashing again to rule out if its a bad flash..
the most stable/fast/reliable one is the open touch 6.5.. its the one with the clean front screen. this is what im using

Thanks. Found it but it was already installed on my 3.0 which I've decided to stay with. I read that you need the Network Wizard to update your registry to get MMS messages but when I go into it, all it asks is my carrier. That's it. I also have an HTC Network Setup and that doesn't have anything of the kind either. Why is it everyone says something but I can't seem to find it and it looks so basic on my end?!?
Also, how do you get .rar games on your phone? Possible even?
Thanks everyone!
anyone familiar with updating the network?? I'm not getting it.
very interesting. I keep hearing that you need to edit your network settings but when I can't get it, I can't seem to get anyone who knows to answer me.
Well I guess this won't be an issue now. I appreciate.... well... ttran for coming up with clean Roms but I just wish I could've had help making it work. Doesn't matter now as I'll be getting an iPhone here soon. I've had more help in the last 48 hours on what I need to make it work with T-mobile than I have on this site since I came here years ago. I always get the short answers with no clarification and no one wants to help with that.
On a serious note, keep up the great work Chefs. The roms look great.
Hi,
Suddenly I can't open my mail anymore, I have energy rom and when I go to the mail or text message tab it just restarts (after a while doing nothing).
I also can't open it using poutlook.exe
Any ideas? I don't really mind having to hard reset, but would love to be able to save my text messages, however, PIM backup and any other way I tried (i.e. MyPhone) doesn't seem to be able to get them anymore...
I don't know how long I will postpone just doing a hard reset, because I also want to be able to receive my text messages off course...
TIA
Just out of curiosity, which version are you using? I don't know if I can help but I'd like to know which one you are using so perhaps we can isolate it to either an old ROM or possibly a corrupt version.
Well, I just happen to be copying the rom folder to a usb disk and it says:
EnergyRom21916Sense25cookie20feb14
I don't think I recall any of those issues on my phone (at&t Fuze) with the 21916 ROM from 14FEB, sorry!
OK
It seems the problem was a corrupt cemail.vol... which kinda sucks, because I can't seem to be able to get my text messages out of it.
Anyway, I'm going to hard reset (device was getting slow anyway), I have a backup of cemail.vol, but no idea how to get my messages out of there... I feel another topic coming up :s
Thanks for trying to help.
Interesting, wish I was a programmer so I could help debug it at least
If that is what is called for, then by all means! You seem to know your way around how to check files and know what some of the files do and the likes, I'd say go for it but I wouldn't want to support the need for additional thread space when you can just edit the first post to reflect it. Ah the power of technology! Drool drool drool!
