You need a registry editor program. I don't believe you can do registry edits with total commander.

on the first screen, the top folder is //plugins...click on that and there is your registry...enjoy

Well we learn something new everyday. Had no idea that was there. Thanks friguy for pointing that out for him. I will stick with my reg editor though. I don't like the interface of TC reg edit.

Zod,
You won't get much help around here if you think this is the way to pose a question.
This is better:
"Could someone please help me find a better link to the PIM Backup software? All the links here are dead."

OK. No problem - [In separate tab, open xda-developer.com, do advanced search for "pim backup" searching titles only. Find Dot Fred's on top. That's what you want. 1 minute.]

Can somebody please point me to a link where I can upgrade my Sprint PPC6700 to Windows Mobile 6? Thanks.

Nightrain,
All relevant topics are in the Apache/Upgrades sub-forum. Read up on the stickies related to the WM6 kitchen, and also check out the thread by robmayer on the WM6 Clean no Junk rom.

I have the Verizon PPC 6700 would these tips work

Hi everyone. I love this site and reading all the forums, as a total newbie i feel like i'm learning so much here! I've been reading a lot of things about sprint garbage and other carriers as well and was wondering what about Alltel? i have no idea what i need and dont need on the phone so i'm really afraid to just try things. But i really need to enlarge my memory on the 6700 itself. another question... if i download things into my storage card do they still work the same way on the phone or do i have to download directly into the main memory?
p.s. david, nice boobies. are they yours?

Hey, Hey Everybody! New to PPCGeeks (awesome Site), waiting for my phone to arrive by WED, but already doing research via the forums. Started with this nOOb guide, but wanted to know the most important things that I need to do first. Should upgrading to WM 6 be the very first thing I do? Any other threads that give a step by step approach to upgrading my PPC-6700, what to install, what to stay away from? Suggestions are welcomed!! Thanks in advance!!

Re: HTC Apache Tips and Tricks/n00b guide (Please Read First)
 

actually I'd suggest playing around with the device with whatever ROM comes with it first. Then after a day or two, upgrade to the WM6 version. This way you'll appreciate how much faster and less "buggy"/lock-up prone the device is with WM6. But yeah, I'd recommend the WM6 upgrade and possibly the radio upgrade if the phone hasn't already been upgraded yet. All the information you need is already posted, but most of what you do to the phone is trial and error....so happy flashing!

Re: HTC Apache Tips and Tricks/n00b guide (Please Read First)
 

Any updates on this thread? And updated links to the programs mentioned previously? I'm currently running ROM V.3.60.70WWE (ROM Date: 08/31/07); Radio Version: 1.41.00 all on WM6.0

I'm just wondering if there IS or will be a n00b guide to upgrading to WM6.1. Or do I need to upgrade? Suggestions?

Re: HTC Apache Tips and Tricks/n00b guide (Please Read First)
 

Thank you for all that info!

Here is the thread for WM 6.1...

Would it be better to upgrade to a basic "generic" WM6 ROM first?
Also, how do I update the Radio?
Thanks...

Re: HTC Apache Tips and Tricks/n00b guide (Please Read First)
 

I have some of the same questions... My xv6700 has radio vers 1.10, how do I update this? Also is there a listing of the pre-cooked roms out there that are noob safe?

Has all this been tested on VISTA?

Re: HTC Apache Tips and Tricks/n00b guide (Please Read First)
 

Im running Vista...I know I know, and the only pain Ive had from my apache is when I flashed it onto bootloader v2.05. I could not get the device to show up in mobile device center let alone reflash the rom/fix.

heh, it took a macbook dual booting xp

Re: HTC Apache Tips and Tricks/n00b guide (Please Read First)
 

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?

Re: before you flash that new rom
 

That link is no longer valid.

Re: HTC Apache Tips and Tricks/n00b guide (Please Read First)
 

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.

Re: HTC Apache Tips and Tricks/n00b guide (Please Read First)
 

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.

Re: before you flash that new rom
 

New version is out.

Re: HTC Apache Tips and Tricks/n00b guide (Please Read First)
 

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.

I have the verizon 6700. already cooked it to helmi's wm5, 3.5 aku. my rom version says: 2.11.20 wwe, my radio version is: 1.43.00, the hardware version is: 0041. I'm still having the lockup/dsod/wont come out of hibernate issues. should i go to wm6 to resolve these?? does my radio need updating??

Re: HTC Apache Tips and Tricks/n00b guide (Please Read First)
 

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

Re: HTC Apache Tips and Tricks/n00b guide (Please Read First)
 

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.

Re: HTC Apache Tips and Tricks/n00b guide (Please Read First)
 

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....

Use PHM Regedit. Works much better than TC.
