Copy the icon file (extract it from the sync.zip file) to the windows directory of your pda.
Step 2: Windows Mobile Device Center - Reinstall DriverNow that the ICON file is on the device, we need to reinstall the device driver so that WMDC will see it.
1. Make sure the device is synced and connected to your PC. You need an active connection so that Windows Vista sees your handheld device.
2. Go to the Control Panel.
3. Switch the Control Panel to the "Classic View" in the upper left hand corner of the Control Panel windows.
4. Open Device Manager.
5. Click the small "+" in front of "Portable Devices"
6. Right click on "Pocket PC" or "Windows Mobile Device" or "Smartphone" or similar.
7. Click Uninstall
8. Choose OK when prompted about Uninstalling the device.
9. The Device Manager will flash a time or two, and the device will no longer show up on the Portable Devices list.
10. Remove your Device from the computer.
11. Wait a good 30 seconds to 1 minute and then dock (connect) your device to the computer again.
12. Your computer will now be installing the device once again.
13. Open Windows Mobile Device Center, and you should now see your ICON on the left hand side (see picture below), and you have not lost any details of your partnership.
Sometimes the wmdc shows your old picture if that is the case copy the icon file to this directory
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Profiles\[some strange code like 8ae71abe]

You forgot the step to copy the file also in your profile folder
Just place the icon file in de Windows dir on your PDA and place the same icon in this folder below ...
c:\users\(your username)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Profiles\(your profile key)\
THEN ..remove the device and re-add it.

Hello :
What do i have to do to put this mms and internet configs atached working on wm6 ? They are from wm5,
Thnks
Copy on your device and than execute the cab file...
Regards,

they didnt work..already have done...
Cab to PPC From Windows XP
You don't have to copy the cab to PPC to install the program. You can use this small utility to do the process just like you'll do with .exe files installer.
This utility is posted by Ryubai to PXDXA .
How to:
1. run the command xp_install.cmd inside the cab2PPCfromXP.zip archive to install the utility as a context menu command.
2. when you right-click the cab file,you will see "install to ppc" in contextmenu.click it and a dialog with which you are very simillar pops up......then you know what you should do next.
TQ.

Hi, i've just upgraded to WM6 (Black Edition v1.1) without any trouble but i can't connect to the internet via internet explorer, i get the message 'cannot connect'. I've download all cabs (extRom and windows) and ran them all. I've downloaded cab2PPCfromXP.zip and ran that on the PC as described, although nothing much happens.
I have noticed after running t-mobiles cabs that instead of '3G' i now get 'E' which seems a step back.
If i Hard reset my device, can some give step by step directions to me having a normal UK T-mobile phone. I mainly use my phone for emails so i really need this side to work.
Cheers

It's sometimes about wrong configuration of mobile ops settings you entered into the PDAs. So, make sure that everything typed in is correct.

Hi, this is already posted here:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307614 and in the upgrading threads regarding storage card problems.
But never mind, did you have problems with your storage card before using the fix with Black 3?
Regarding the fact that it is for the p3300 (Artemis) it is an official fix and works for both that model and the Tytn.

It is a cab file, follow these instructions that were given with the cab file on the site:-
1/ Copy the file to your device using ActiveSync. To do so:
-> Ensure first that ActiveSync is installed on your PC already. If it is not, please install it using the CD that came with your device.
-> Then connect your device to your PC. You can choose to connect the device to your PC as either a guest or a standard partnership, it does not matter for installing a .cab file.
-> Once the device connects to the PC, press Explore in the ActiveSync menu bar and copy the cab file there.
-> Your file explorer window should show the .cab file
2/) Use File Explorer to find the file and click on it to start the installation. Follow the on-screen instructions.
3/ Switch the phone off and back on.
NOTE:- Should you need to carry out a Hard-Reset on your device then this CAB file will be lost
and you will need to reinstall it on your handset.

TNX, I am aware of the problems, I just want to know what did HTC fix to solve them, was it a new driver? was it a simple REG hack?
IT IS NOT FOR TYTN.!!!!
If you switch the last word with htcp3300 or htc p3600 will show the page again. http://www.europe.htc.com/support/fa...device=" htctytn"
It will show it even if you put "lagoskon" .
Someone just put the word htctytn at the end.
You can't find the page if you begin from tytn support.
So don't bother with this fix...We will have to wait..

I have to disagree. I still have this issue with various WM6 releases, albeit at a much reduced rate than with WM5.0. I believe this is hardware related and the software fix(es) may work for some people, but not all.

I agree with that after I have had reports back on it, seems to make the problem worse because it is not a true Hermes fix.
I've read good reviews on chrismrulz's bootlaoder programe and I'm trying to use it to update my iPAQ 4700 from 2003 to WM6. However I am obviously doing something wrong as I just cannot get it to work!
Please can anyone offer any advice?
I hope I am following the exact instructions as mentioned here at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325727
and here is what is happening:
Step 1.
Make new folder in root directory.
No Problem c:\Bootloader set up.
Step 2.
Download WM6 ROM and bootloader into file.
Done as directed from links in instructions directly into new folder.
Checked and c:\Bootloader now has 2 files in it Bootloader.exe and WM6_4700_0_7_0_RELEASE4.rar
Step 3.
Put hx4700 in bootloader mode and place in sync cradle.
I assume I have done this correctly. Screen goes blank and you can just make out the HP logo it says USB when in cradle and shows version 1.01
Step 4.
Open bootloader and select image.
Ok I go to folder and double click on Bootloader.exe
I get a security warning about the software and ignor by pressing run.
2 things now happen simutaniously. Bootloader.exe expands and creates c:\Bootloader\Bootloader and fills it with more files and directories and....
I get a box asking me to select a file to flash ROM to my device. I change the directory back to C:\Bootloader and select WM6_4700_0_7_0_RELEASE4.rar and press open.
I get a message telling me to please wait the file is being extracted and inviting me to press ok. Before I can press ok the box is replaced with a winRAR Diagonistic Message saying c:\Bootloader\WM6_4700_0_7_0_RELEASE4.rar no files to extract.
I close this dialog box and get another message telling me to wait whilst it edits files. Then this in turn is replaced by a message saying Error reading file c:\Bootloader\Bootloader\temp_nbf\ I click on OK to acknowledge.
And that’s it nothing else happens.
I've obviously read the instructions wrong or something can anyone help point me in the right direction? Or offer any alternatives?
I'm using Active Sync 3.7.1
Thanks
Phil
Open the rar file (with WinRar), and read the instructions that are in the Readme.txt file... And update your Activesync to version 4.5, which is needed for WM6.
Excellent,
Thank you Ridolfo, so much easier than what I was trying to do. I now have WM6 working and am very pleased with it.
One problem i now have is Activesync 4.5 will not work with my Outlook 2002 I dont suppose anyone knows a workaround or do I have to buy a copy of Outlook 2007?

Hi Dirlan,
Thank you for the files. I was already experimenting with Opera so I deleted it from my iPAQ loaded Cloudyfa_EsmertecJbed.cab and then reinstalled Opera.
Unfortunately I get an error message from Jbed saying "the file jbed cannot be opened. Either it is not signed or one of its components cannot be found.

After extracting using WinRAR
Trying to upgrade from 2003 to WM6 ...
After extracting WM6_4700_0_7_0_RELEASE4.rar using WinRAR I am trying to follow the instructions in the readme.txt (as Bootloader didn't work for me as in the first post in this thread):
From readme.txt
To begin with if you want to flash your device using cradle,you have to:
1.In processes (CTRL+ALT+DEL) you must kill Wcesscom.exe
2.Then Enter in Bootloader (Contacts+iTask+Reset)
3.Put your device on usb cradle.
4.Run mtty11a.exe
5.In "Port" choose \\.\WCEUSBSH001 and click OK
6.Write command: lnb OS_WM6.nb0
7.Wait
8.Enjoy yourself
As I'm not all that familiar with this can someone explain in step-by-step what's involved with the mtty11a.exe application, and Step 6?
Currently my hx4700 is what I think in bootloader mode (Screen is dim an I can barely make out "USB" the hp logo and the current version "v1.01"). I previously tried the original WM5 upgrade and it just dies on me at 0.1%.
Hi tk2000
As I posted the original post I know exactly what you are going through. However once I went through the instructions you are currently trying to use every thing went smoothly. You have extracted the .rar file and are unsure of the mtty11a.exe file.
Assuming you have you have killed Wcesscom.exe on your pc as in step 1,
and the device in in its cradle in bootloader mode (as you described very faint HP logo, USB and version 1.01 displayed).
Then double click on the mtty11a.exe as in step 4. This then brings up an application and you will see a dropdown menu next to port, simply select the option \\.\WCEUSBSH001 and click ok.
6.Write command: lnb OS_WM6.nb0 now this stage I was a little unsure of myself I simply typed "lnb OS_WM6.nb0" in from the keyboard and pressed enter and it started to load. This takes a few minutes but afterwards you should have WM6 on your device.
I had to do a couple of hardware restarts and it took a few minutes in its cradle but it all works fine for me.

There should be an 'opera-unsigned*.cab' somewhere here on the forum. I didn't try it because Opera works fine for me.
Sorry

Conversion is quite simple !!!
Search for png image of your device. (With No Background)
Save it to your pc.
Use ConvertIcon.com or other free online png to ico converter. Its absolutely free.

"@Everybody: I can also make ico file for your devices, so feel free to post you device info"
I have a Black Palm Treo Pro, could you mace a sync.ico file for me please. I have searched the internet and can't find one anywhere.
Strange thing is that there was once one there and not sure what I've done but it vanished after I did some hard resets etc in an attempt to correct some errors in syncing.
Thanks in advance.

It's pretty limited, but there is a filebrowser.
First dial ##634# to enter the diagnosismenu on your Samsung. In the diagnosis menu enter 5**6244*3 and choose the option "shortcuts". That opens the filebrowser. You can press "options" and check option "show all files". You will be in the "windows" folder. Press "up" to go to the root. The is no copy/paste/launch, just browsing.
This is the only filebrowser that works for now. I'm working on something better, but it might take a while. Bear with me...

Take a look at this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877782.
It allows you to explorer ALL the files under the Windows directory (and sub directories), some files can be downloaded (such as XML config files etc).
It is pretty awesome actually, you use your browser on you computer to navigate through the files.
The source code is available too.
