thanks

The option on the top controls how BuildOS handles differences between WM5 and WM6 ROMs. It does not select WM5 or WM6 as your ROM (that's determine by the kitchen you use). Selecting WM5 for a WM6 ROM, or vice-versa, may lead to confusing issues - it's akin to sprinkling a few random bytes in your ROM. The next release will probably have that control disabled, as the kitchen you use sets it to the correct value.

If you'd like the WM5 1.04 kitchen packaged for this BuildOS, we can provide it.

Hi,

I'm getting errors trying to install WM6 to my Verizon Apache. I'm assuming I have bootloader version 1.04 since my Apache screen says "USB at the top and at the bottom it says "v1.04". Also as a heads up I currently have the last rom upgrade that UTSTARCOM has put out for the VZW Apache (http://www.utstar.com/pcd/Downloads/XV6700%20AKU3.zip).

On my computer I'm running:

WinXP SP2 2 GB RAM .net framwork 2.0 ActiveSync 4.5

To duplicate the issue, here's what I'm doing in order:

1. Hard reset my device.
2. Connect successfully to ActiveSync
3. Running the latest Apache_Helmi_WM6 PPC-BuildOS
4. After encoding the ROM I get this:



5. I click update
6. The phone goes into bootloader mode as normal
7. At this time my ActiveSync Icon disappears from the notification/clock area.
8. After a couple minutes I get the following:



9. After I hit exit my ActiveSync Icon reappears.
10. Phone is still in bootloader mode and I have to soft reset to get my phone to restart again.

I'm sure people out there have run into the same issue. Hopefully it's a simple fix and more just user error.

Try putting your phone into bootloader before you try to flash. Power, Camera, and Reset

wow. i was expecting a response that quick!

I tried that and here's what happened:

1. notification area says "new hardware found"
2. then says "new hardware is ready to use"
3. then says "usb device not recognized"

I've tried uploading/sending the rom to the phone to initiate the upgrade at steps 2 & 3 and get the same results. "error 201: get device data error".

Did you choose the new RUU option before building? You need to do that because you have the 1.04 bootloader.

To do that look at the top of the BuildOS window where it says "Standard". Click that and pick the X.04+ option from the list. Then begin the build process. Everything will be the same except for the last step--it will use a ROM Upgrade Utility that is compatible with your bootloader version.

Awesome! Thanks! That seemed to be the issue. Again, I figured it be something simple and user error. Thanks again.

Your best bet would be to put in your desired gif before building your ROM. Rename it to Today.gif and put it in the C:\BuildOS\Patches (or wherever you chose to extract the kitchen). Any files you put in \Patches will go into your ROM automatically.

Thanx a bunch!!!=D>

I'd seen that option, never tried it. I'm still just amazed at the flexibility you and the team built in to this kitchen. I like the idea of 1.04 as an option, but I'm really happy with WM6. The ROM I flashed Tuesday is so far the best my Apache has ever had.

So, any ideas? I'm gonna get tons of grief from my wife if my phone can accept the MMS videos she sends me.

I tried sending a pic ... worked fine. The same MMS player is used as the app, the slider bar moves across, and the still pic shows.

I guess it's a video problem of some sort ... next test sensai?

What other video players did you install on your phone? I am wondering if this is a video conflict. Try transferring a video to your phone and see if it will play in windows media player. I would test any player you have on your phone. By the way that sounds like every mans wife so don't sweat it. We have some geniuses here (not me lol) that will fix your problem.
