Strange issue with Wing and WM6.1 7.7 Rom...

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

fifth one

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.

Help! Problem with windows mobile 6.5

I am repeatedly facing the following problem.
When a call arrives, the contact pops up on the screen almost immediately, but it takes around 5 or 6 rings from the callers end for me to hear the ring on my phone.
Eg. You call me and i will see your name on my screen but it will seem for you as if i picked your call only after 6 rings, but only then my phone rings!! HELP me a lot of people are complaining that i am not picking the call immediately due to this...
Never faced this problem in wm 6.1 or earlier versions.
Somebody kindly assist me
Thanks in advance.

Hi !
I had the same problem. I think it happened when the screen was locked.
It got better after upgrading to a 23001 build.
Which build do you have on your phone?
greetz

Hi flushbeer! Thank you very much for your prompt response! Appreciate it.
I am using [July 4th][PDACorner] Ultimate-X2.V5 -23001|M2D|CHome|Enhanced Version
I even tried TPC Elite prior to that!
And yes u r right i think it happens when screen is locked. Even otherwise i think it happens.
Am using the 23001.x build only!
Thanks again buddy!

Weird... I use the same ROM and this is the FIRST ROM where I don't have this problem.
(I tried many 6.5 ROMs before and with all of them I had this Problem)
greetz

Sorry guys please read the rules, if you have problems post on the threads where you get your ROMs
Mods, please close this thread

sorry guy...
but i don't think this problem ist rom related.
in my opinion it ist build-related and therefore a more or less generic problem.
but it's not my thread anyhow

Hey it aint fair, nobody answers my question anywhere (( If only anyone can answer this.

Maybe it's becoz you are running some software that is not compatible with WM65. Like some builds of MS Voice Command. But you have to sort it out by yourself.
Edit: The way to find problem apps for your ROM:
Backup all your data;
Hard reset;
Install your apps one by one;
Every time after installed a new soft, soft reset, and check the problem occurs or not, if not, install next one, soft reset and check again, until you got the problem occured again.
Then you know it's the last installed app crashes with something. (Maybe not crash with the ROM, but other apps installed before it. To sort this out, you have to change the sequence of cab install and test again. For example, after already know the probs app, hard reset and only install this see what happen.)
What if you did not find it until installed last app? Congratulations, you already solved the problem.
This is the most foolish(time consuming) way, but it works on most cases for probs sorting.
Edit2: BTW, last time when I have similiar probs as yours, by using above-mentioned method, I sorted it out that it was caused by MSVC. (Edit3: Also if my memory is still correct, another badass for WM6.5 maybe the WM6.5 lockscreen,)

What radio are you using? Did you change radios and see if that makes a difference?

You can restore the factory settings or reflash the rom. If the problem persists, the cable or screen of the phone may be broken.

I have already done the reset available in phone.
i have also tried updating and putting new ROM but everytime i do that i get errors like " Image currupted" or " Invalid vendor ID" I have even tried unlocking the phone using USPL n stuffs but no use. (Probably m not doing it rite )
The problem with phone is when openin the QWERTY keypad the display goes blank or hazzy n returns after some 30 seconds(Display time our time)
Dont know wat to do
and now the green flashy led is also not working
whenever i connect my phone to PC it shows RED light there
dont know wats happening
Please help

Most probably the flex cable that connects the upper and lower body has a problem. Probably the connector at the lower part has come loose slightly and opening the device pulls the flat cable edge to bend the connector so that you see the effect you describe.
You will not be able to fix it without opening the device - and this is not simple with the VOX. Do not try to fix that without opening the device as you may completely kill the flat cable this way.

Thanks for repling buddy
But iam a bit afraid to open my VOX as i dnt wanna spoil it more
i tried updating the ROM also but couldnt
Probably i need a better guide on unlocking and installing new ROMS.
Any pointers will be helpful
Thanks

You will not solve a HW problem with new SW. Get a good dis-assembly guide for the VOX - this will help you.

Hmm...
but still i think i will need alot of courage to open my VOX
I have a guide with me which seems to be good enough. Anywaz will give it a try some day
As off now i have just completed updating a new ROM (Windows Mobile 6.5 Official by frauhottelmann) It is nice and good but as u suggested hasnt resolved my problem
Also Audio manager isnt working for me
Thanks for your inputs buddy

Be careful nitin !!! you'd better bring it to a service center , than you lose warranty just because seal is broken when you try to open it ..

There is no warranty after 3 years, I think - at least not in Germany

[Q] Something weird happend yesterday...

So yesterday A notification showed that my ebay acc has been hacked or smth I couldn't read it because I closed it fast (by mistake) and after that almost none of my apps worked. I mean for example I start weather bug from its live tile then it went into blank screen and got me back on my menu. This happened with 90% of my apps, even with compass youtube etc... So I hard resetted the phone. Then connected it to the computer and an update showed up. So I updated it (again mistake) and my last backup is gone now... So my phone is unhacked and I want to hack it again. What should I do

Moving to Q&A......
Sent From My Fingers To Your Face.....

maybe this works out:
you could flash it with a new rom, unlock it by chevron, apply the no-relock hack
afterwards update to pre-nodo and nodo
zune should then make a backup of the previous state...
cheers,
simon

Ok can you give me a link to a hd 7 clean europe rom cuz there are lots of them in the development section and I dont know which will be the correct one. ty in advance

as I have a omnia 7, I never dealed with other roms than for samsung devices...
sorry that I can't help you out on this...

[Q] Re install an update

Does anyone know of a way to reinstall an update?
I have the latest version of mango for my dell venue pro and would like to just reinstall the update on top of the current update.
Is this possible?
I didn't seen an option in zune to do it.
Thanks,

So is there any way to go back an update then? I reset my phone but it still says i have mango installed.

Might i ask, why are you trying to reinstall the update?
and have you tried to do a hard reset of the device?
Added Picture--v
Settings > About > Reset Your Phone

yes i have hard reset the device, but it still says i have the same version.
The reason is, I'm having 3g problems and DELL told me i have to reinstall the latest update before they would help any further.
I guess i could just lie to them and say i did. idk, dell = dumb

After Hard-Reset, You're still having issues with 3g?
What kind of issues?
-- I'm not the most technical person when it comes to WP7, but I sure as hell don't mind helping someone if possible.
I'm currently doing some research for you.

I dont have a data connection when i'm connected with a 3g signal. Like i can have 1 bar or 5 and it wont connect. I just reset it a few hours ago so i haven't had a lot of time to play with it, (stupid boss expects me to do work at work for some silly reason)
It happens about 60 or 70 percent of the time. Its supper annoying. I normally have to go to settings and disable my 3g connection and re enable it or restart my phone for it to work.

Have you previously, or currently done a "break" on the device? If so, what kind?

whats a "break"

Interop break, jailbreak, etc...
ps. only way i could find to "reinstall" the os... is doing a hard-reset.

yeah thats what i came up with. Well I'll just see how it runs now that i reset it.
Thanks

No problem, wish I could help further.
