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.

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.
-Groovedude!
just go into the file explorer go to my device look for the pim file and rename it. then soft reset your device. it should work after that
does it matter what i should rename it to ?.... ?
i renamed the pim file to "c" soft reset... and HEY presto it works thank you everyone.
big thank you to thunda_chunky
no prob =] same thing happened to me b4
awesome just gotta setup my tmobile settings for mms etc now !
Sorry that my first post is me *****ing about my fuze not working, but i've been lurking around here for a while trying to get my device how i like it. Now it won't do what i want.
Ok so i had Diamond Tweak on there. With Diamond Tweak on i couldn't send txt messages as a reply to one i received. And i couldn't send a new one to that person either. After removing Tweak all the messages i' had tried to send in the past day all sent immediately. I don't know if it's a conflict or what, but any help would be appreciated, i really liked some of the features tweak gave me and regret removing it.
Thanks ahead of time.
Well now my touchflo txt messages are not matching up. I can't handle this so i'm gonna do a hard reset. Luckily i haven't had the phone for long.
So change of topic, what should i do once i have a clean slate?
Could you maybe try a few of the other tweaking programs? I'm using a few and I've not had any issues of that kind with my messages, or anything else really.
I've got Advanced Config Tool 3.3, Sushi's Diamond TF3D Config, and HERG62123 Fuze Flip Clock all installed on a stock AT&T Rom and so far nothing has conflicted or caused any issues that aren't normal windows mobile behaviours.
stock att rom? ew
what tweaks did you do with diamond tweak ?
and if you do hard resets just back stuff up with microsofts my phone software or pim backup then resets arent so bad

Yeah...I know... I don't like it either! And what I said earlier about not having conflicts unfortunately no longer applies. Something went wrong and I can't use Sushi's Diamond Config to change the touch flo settings anymore. Really annoying! I think the flip clock thing is messing with it because sometimes the numbers come out in two different fonts. And there's no tab for SMS now at all. Grrrr
Going to have to flash to a new ROM soon, just haven't gotten around to security unlocking it yet.
yeahhh stock... come on, get some time and load up a cooked one. i'm loving my energy ROM

You dont need to security unlock your phone to flash a new rom, just flash hard spl, there is a tutorial over in the rom section. I suggest any rre rom for speed stability and support
For some time now, I've been having a problem with my Touch Pro. Some time ago, (about a 2 months or so) I have been recieving harassing texts and from "Unknown Sender" or "1234". Where the texts come from isnt so much the issue, the issue is that whomever is sending the texts can see any text messages I send; my call log; my emails and any picture mail in my phone. I've also been told that voicemails have been forwarded to other people even before I hear them. Im sure its like a vendictive ex girlfriend or a friend of theres of something...but I cant figure out how to stop it.
I havent called Sprint, I have master reset my phone and restored my backed up data, and then it started up again. I havent left my phone around anyone, or taken it to a sprint store ever for repairs or anything...so...I just cant figure it out.
If anyone has any suggestions of where this might be coming from or how to stop it, I would greatly appreciate it. Im thinking of getting a new phone or switching carriers...
Thanks.
Possibly someone has cloned your SIM-card.
SIM card cloning is by the way not very easy, but still possible.
When so, the only way around it, is to have the current one blocked and buy a new one.

may be your ex or somebody installed phone creeper on your phone!
try to flash your ROM... and dont restore your data for a few days and see if the same things happen
hope this will help
Yeah, it sounds an awful lot like someone slapped you with creeper. You can hard reset, but not restore, and see if the problems go away. Or check the \windows\startup folder, and see if the creeper startup link is there (not sure what it's called-that thread is too long, lol). Or, use sk tools to see what runs at startup, and disable creeper or whatever it's called on the the device.
Of course, if you figure out that it is creeper, and you know who did it, you may want to see if you can have a little fun at their expense before disabling it. That's definitely the way that I would go.
Hello there,
I have a serious problem. A while ago i flashed the energy rom to my device and it worked great. Now i can't use my phone anymore because it was a beta version? I've searched the forum, and i saw more of you got the same problem.
And i've read that it's possible to reinstall windows on my device but..
I typed serious import texts with notefolio and windows note creator program thing, i need it for my job,, Is there any way to retrieve those text files? It's not on my SD card, so it must be in the internal memory.. ****
My laptop makes a sound when i connect the USB cable, nut i can't see my touch pro in ''my computer'', it seems it won't connect...
Please please help me i'm desperate
thanks allready
Greatings,
Bouke
Mine just did the same thing and im about to leave the country. Have any suggested new builds?
Energy Rom Craps Out
My phone has also taken the time trial sleep, any help before I reflash. XDA should make it known that acts such as this do not happen again. I have donated to the development of this site, now wondering why & if I will do it again. Please help with a fix other than reflashing.
Moved as not ROM Development.

I dont think theres any way to undo this thing. just happend to me this morning. I was able to get a start menu, but all the apps I start, start under the message.
BUT, since I got enough reminders that this version I flashed was going down, I see not more than to just accept this failure .
So I held down the vol- button en pressed the reset button with my stylus, now I its flashing a new ROM.
Good luck
yea i tried that aswell, but everyting is beneeth the message.
And indeed it's a huge FAIL from the energy rom developer
I'm still hoping for some reactions that may help recovering my valuable text files..
If i flash a new rom it will erase all the data on the phone memory including text files notefolie etc. right?
Greatings
unfortunately yes. as far as i know there is no chance of getting them out of there. but you installed a custom and private made rom - that is to some extend alsways a risk and you should back up all the things you have on your phone when you do this.
good luck
i too want to get a few things out of the phone.
the stuff that still works is htc sense, and anything started directly out of sense, but not any shortcuts to programs.
you can access it by locking the phone, then unlocking it.
it will give me access to sense ui.
so i'm now pretty much looking for anything that's left to help me start a backup program.
any ideas on how to add a program as a service?
maybe with sd autostart.
does that still work?
all we need is to get the phone to run one lousy backup app.
maybe even automated.
we need ideas! ;-)

My phone locks on long end key.
If I press that and unlock again, the expiry message disappears for a while.
Sense and some Programs started directly from within work. Not the home screen links
However, I cannot start programs from links or access the internal memory.
Is there any way to read this while in "boot screen" mode?
If you can get some things to work, then pull your sim card out, and sync to a pc. If the syncing works, set the pc's date back a few days, and see if the rom starts working normally, then back up what you need and re-flash.
If you can't sync, just try to fix the date on your phone. A soft reset may be required.
Doesn't work as Sense crashes when I try to set the date.
Maybe it works for other people.
Sync does not work as that is blocked.
I tried changing the timezone immediately after it locked but that didn't work either.
So I suspect changing the date back wouldn't do you any good.
In other words: I don't see any way to recover any data from internal memory.
I'm going to do a hard reset now as I don't have time for this.
I conclude that whoever decided or implemented this timebomb as is, is a complete asshole and I hope he gets eaten by wolves in his sleep.
Disabling a product after a beta phase and/or forcing customers to update is perfectly fine, destroying their data in the process is unacceptable.

Gee, Office 2010 is a beta release, and came with a time-bomb. Maybe you should call microsoft and tell them to suck it since your custom rom didn't live up to your expectations.

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!
