Apache WM6 CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)

Hi. I am a Newbie at this game, so please forgive me if I ask ignorant questions.

I see you have two different upgrades for Verizon xv6700 depending on the boot loader -- how do I tell which boot loader I have?

I have sprite backup and I have made a backup of main memory which is about 13m -- if I update the ROM and want to go back, do I just restore from the backup I have made or do I need something else?

Also, which directories are part of the ROM and which part of the flash memory?

Thanks much.

Boot Loader = Power button + Record button + Reset button.
The phone will go into boot loader mode and at the bottom of the screen it will tell you which one you have. Download appropriate one and enjoy.

Your back up is not for the entire rom, if you want to go back just go to the UTStar.com website to revert back to appropriate. Also your provider should have to download as well.

As far as your last question, I'm not that familiar with all the intricacies.

If you want to restore your backup you must re-flash the ROM you were using when that backup was made (whether that was the stock carrier ROM or one of the Helmi custom WM5 ROMs from here). Once you have that done then you can restore your backup.

The way Windows Mobile's file system works is that absolutely everything that's in the ROM is in the root of the \Windows directory. Anything you see in any other folder (even subfolders of \Windows!) is not in the ROM but in your storage partition.

OK, that helps -- how do I get my "original ROM" -- I did not get a CD or such -- I bought the phone off of Ebay, or is there a place where I ca download it from the Verizon site or somewhere?

Also, should I attempt to restore the registry or reinstall all the apps separately again?

One more question -- I don't have a record button as such, when the machine came out of the box, long press on button 5 was assigned to record a note -- is that what was meant?


Thanks.
