I'm new here and I've been looking around for a while and man am I confused. My real questions are when you download WM5/6 do you automatically get a registry editor or is that a different download? My second question, Is a kitchen the same thing as a registry editor?

If the newest ROM is version 2.06.00 WWE then how come I have 2.07.00 WWE?
Should I update or can I update it? Does it matter if I want to update to WM6?
Does that have anything to do with wi-fi and activesync not working? Thanks.

What am I missing?

Thanks!

I think this is possibly the answer to your question about why you have 2.07 and not 2.06.....it seems it is due to who you have as your provider. Not sure about the other 2 issues yet.....I am still reading all I can before my own phone comes next weekend.

A registry editor is a program for editing the registry (ie. regedit.exe in windows) and is NOT usually included in a windows mobile build. You can download free registry editors everywhere, Google it real quick.

The BuildOS kitchen is a program that simplifies the ROM building experience.

You would want to use WM6.1 or Kirvin clean WM5 ROM. WM6 is not even a question... Radio is fine.

I have it on 6.1, i tried kirvins clean aku 3.5, nothing is working. ever heard of just a bad phone?? surely the fix is out here somewhere......

uhhh gonna get kirvins wm5 clean and try that....

loaded it up.....
so whats the lag time on the screen coming back up?? i think maybe i'm just being optimistic about the screen coming up fast. I'm gonna let it sit 10min or so, get right back to ya.

OK, so i loaded the Kirvins clean wm5. let the phone sit ten minutes. tap the screen....loooong pause..... and viola!! she's up and running. A huge slice of pie goes to PDAPhoneJunkie, I thought i had tried the rom, i guess not. now, does this rom come with the kitchen?? how do i load it into the kitchen?? oops, im on the geeks, gonna go over to the kitchen forums.


**update**
yeahhhh crap, it wont come out of hibernate again... 20 min wait this time....
soft reset just shuts it down.and it wont power on with the button either. gotta pull the battery to get it back on.

sure i cant just send it to ya PDAPhoneJunkie?? I can pay ya to fix it....
