Apache WM6 Kitchen CE OS 5.2.1908 (Build 18508.0.7.0) - UPDATED 20071217

[Mr. Marcus]

Hope there's a way to fix this. That screen is seeming awfully defiant.

Any advice how to get past this?

Did you do a hard reset after the ROM finished? If so you can just put it in bootloader and try a different build. Bootloader instructios are a few post earlier. Post # 263. Just folow luv2chills instructions and you will be good to go.

1. Get the latest version of the kitchen and latest version of BuildOS.
2. Create a folder in your installation directory called Patches
3. Add the following line to your selections.txt file (add it just after the ExtraDir=Apache_Helmi_WM6\Extra line)
PatchDir=Patches
4. Add your replacement files to the patches folder
5. build your rom. the files in the patches folder will overwrite those in the kitchen.

Many thanks.

You've got us. The kitchen was written especially to hose up your particular system. Many hours were put into it so that it would run on all of ours; but not on yours.

Hmmm... PC Technician for 25 years.... That's probably the problem here... But then again, you install a fresh copy of a vendor's XP (HP no less) and then you install a program written to hack a cell phone's rom without even using Windows update to update your PC?

You know, of course, that windows update would have given you the .net component you needed. Right? Heck, it woul have even suggested to you that you install it.

As for active sync. EVERYONE'S ACTIVESYNC IS KILLED DURING THE FLASH. Come on man, stop and think about it for a moment ok? What does activesync do???

It talks to Windows Mobile, right?

Well how can it talk to windows mobile on your phone WHEN YOU ARE OVERWRITING THE OS IN THE PHONE????

So sit back an take a chill pill. There are many here who will tell you I am not their favorite person; but your comments are more rabid than intelligent.

Worse than that; you're tenure as a PC Technician makes those of us who know what we are talking about look bad.

If you're still a PC Technician; then ask your Network Administrator for help. They should be able to explain it to you.

You are so right!!! I think that if I were still only a PC Technician after 25 years that I would be ashamed to admit it. Anyone who can't get any higher up than that after all that time has been "left" in the position for a real reason.

What is sad is the fact that I have no experience as a PC tech and I figured it out with the help of the folks here. No shouting or screaming needed.

This kitchen also has helmi's appropriate core version (CE OS 5.2.1908.) to match with the AKU .7.0 system files--which always makes for better stability than trying to run newer OS files on an older core.

Some of the primary improvements over helmi's WM6 (AKU .4.2 ROM release):

1. Fully working WiFi (fix automatic connection issue?)
2. Correct Picture Mail site for Sprint users (not for me)
3. Fully working Voice Command OEM included (including fix for Announcements over Bluetooth) (this yes)
4. Newer version of HTC Home Plugin (also)
5. Fully working IR (supposed resolved issue on 0.6c)
6. Several compatible phone skins, including the brand new one from the HTC Vogue (EDIT: As well as the default crossbow skin--if you do not choose a skin then you will get the stock one) (let's see it)
7. All modules have had their memory allocations relocated so no more chance of overlapping memory regions (which could cause lots of random errors). (no more scrambled bootlogo, i hope)
8. Several commonly requested tweaks are in the kitchen by default (no connection bubble, power saving tweaks, time sync automatically, only calibration and time zone steps in welcome wizard, all phone settings pages unhidden, lots more...) (time zone adjust is neccesary on this step)
9. If you choose a carrier during your build there will be no need for the soft reset at first boot to prevent your extrom from installing--that's been turned off
10. Two new carriers have been added (Aliant and Movistar Venezuela--please test if you use those carriers) (if i install my carrier, dont mess with received messages? the first 11 chars appears instead the sender number??)
11. Latest version of CDMA-specific MMS app (3.0.26.11c) from the Alltel PPC6800. This version has been tested to work fully on Sprint, Verizon, and Alltel (Wrong!!! 4.2.5.1 is the latest)
12. Your choice of traditional SD-only or SDHC-compatible drivers (I still recommend the SD-only set unless you need to use SDHC cards) (designed to not work together)
13. Properly functioning 1x/Ev switch (already functioning)

Read all in red

Thanks for all your hard work!!!! I use the new kitchen, and use the default selections. After refreshed, I put my phone near computer, the computer can find the device, but when i want to transfer a file by IR beam, it appear "error"!! Transferring files beteen the two phones is OK! so i think it is the problem of OBEX.

In my case, all the three first appears blank, not problem at all
