Password problem - MW6 bug or?

I had a problem with the password TWICE!! my P3600 does not recognize my password after i power off and on the device. i had to do a hard reset in order to use the device again, then i'd lost all my data. i am a Apple user so i did not back it up, actually i do not know how to sync my WM6 with my Apple.
now i do not use the password in fear that it may happen again. is this a bug with WM6? apparently a few people have experience this as well.

Hi,
it's a problem which happens if the device is reset before the change in the registry is written into the flashrom.
Turn the device off by holding the powerbutton down for about 10s, then you should be fine.

i did not power off/on, or reset, the device right after i created the password. the password was working fine when the device goes into the sleep mode. in fact, i am sure the password was fine as well when i power off/on a couple of times. it just seems to happen randomly without a pattern.
your suggestion seems logical enough, but i know for sure it was LONG enough for it to update the registry.

Good, someone else with this problem. I posted this in Shaps rom thread on Monday but got no reply.
I flashed a standard WM5 Orange M700 up to Schaps new rom.
First i sim unlocked it.
Then hard SPL
Then flashed the ROM
Got everything set up and must have rebooted a few times in different ways after setting the password and then 1 time it just wouldnt accept the password.
Hard reset, did everything again and same thing. I set the password the first thing when i first booted the device this time though and since that i must have reset about 5 or 6 times without problem when installing things like Random Access and stuff you obviously have to reboot. Then again after half an hour or so after another soft reset and it locks me out.
I flashed to a dif WM6 rom after this and i havent heard that there has been an issue yet.

thanks for th info. too bad it costs $39.99 just to sync it with Mac. I was hoping there is a free software out there.

okay. I just reread your first post... you said you were not able to back up data...
for me, I use PIM Backup by dotFred because it backs up the PIM on storage card, and can be restored on any WM version using the same program. (i.e. between wm5 and wm6) PIM data would be contacts, messages, call logs, calendard, etc.
if you'd really need to sync your pocket-pc to mac, you can see this
http://www.eltima.com/products/syncmate/
the one at sourceforge is still under development...

hey again,
i downloaded syncmate a few weeks ago, it works great. then today, it says my beta version expired and i should go to www.eltima.com to get the newer version. i tried but with no luck. i downloaded what appears to be the latest, yet whenever i start it up, i get the expired error again.
do you have any more info on this software? or anyone in this forum use this software to sync between Mac ans WM6?

i have the same "syncmate expired"-problem. I use HTC 3300 (WM6). It has worked for many weeks, but today i get this problem.

i thought this is a free software with no expiration date. the error suggested to go to their site for a newer version, yet there is none.
i am hoping someone in this forum may have a work around as it's nice to be able to sync between Mac and WM6

here is a solution: http://www.eltima.com/download/EltimaSyncMate.dmg
it works very well. i don't know why, but it works.

If its a cab file you're trying to install, copy it anywhere on the phone. Then using file explorer on your phone, click on the cab file and installation will begin.
If its an exe file, these install from your pc through Activesync. On your pc(with phone connected), click on the exe file and it will copy the files to your phone. It will then tell you to check your phone, which will then look like you had just started a cab file installation.
If either cab or exe asks you if you want to install to device or storage card, it should be your choice unless the creator has specified otherwise.
Some files require rebooting the phone after installation. Most will tell you before they reboot, and some creators will tell you its necessary. In this case you should manually reboot it if the installation doesn't automatically do it for you.

just out of curiosity. how did you manage to flash 6.1 on the phone when you are unsure of how to install a simple application?

what kind of stuff? like does the phone do backflips or break dance?
be a little more specific man..
for the keyboard go look in the sticky ontop of this forum and download the keyboard file to your pc. plug your phone into the pc and let it sync. then take that file and through activesync > explorer put it on your phone
on your phone, go to where that file is located and just execute it..install to device. then reboot the phone when its done installing.

Stop opening new threads for the same topic...first last warning.
Keep using the same thread.

there are sticky's full of instructions for installing new roms....followed by 1000 pages of the same questions and the same answers.
i wasnt trying to be a jerk.i was honestly asking because id like to know how he installed his 6.1 so we can try to make it a lot easier on n00bs that ask the same questions time and time again. since he seems like a new user, hes the one to ask right?

You honestly think hes the one? I didn't think installing cabs was that hard. Put cab on phone, click on it from explorer, and wait just a bit, Done. I really don't think he is the chosen one. In fact, I would venture a guess that it was pure luck he was able to get 6.1 flashed at all. No offense. I nominate Gixxum to be his personal tutor

which is why id like to know how or what instructions he followed.

I didn't think you was being a jerk, infact i found your answer rather commicle, so i had to reply with comedy, i just imagined he followed the forum thread and think from his answer i was correct? But maybe not?
Biglarge what's the answer?

Im glad you guys are having fun at my expense, this is how I figured it out. It was posted in this forum, I wish I had the name on it, but I give thanks to ever wrote this and am sorry I didnt have the nameHeres how to beat the 270 error.
When running the installer, "push any key" through the first few steps as it says.
When the queue comes up saying "press center key and screen should turn white", "press any key to continue"
FIRST - press any key, to bring up the next queue
SECOND - now push the center button on your phone, and it should turn white
THIRD - push any key on your PC to start the actual flash.
If you do step 2 before 1, it will still continue onto the flash screens, but will Error 270 at 1-10%.....
Hope this helps some of you!

Maybe if next time you are more clear with what you are trying to get help on. We can help you.
Error 720 is/has nothing to do with "Installing programs"
Think about it.

That was regards to gixxum, and in my post of installing programs, I clearly stated installing the keyboard and I believe the sirius program. I am sorry for all the confusion. Later

BigLarge: we're just trying to have fun, did you get your cabs installed?

Im almost afraid to say it, but no, I put them on the phone and it seems to install but nothing after that, I have learned to type with what ever text is on there though.

Tilt2 tethering help

HI im having some very big problems with my tilt2. I can teather it fine but for some reason after a day or two i get the remote party has ended the connection, and no matter what i do to it, weather it be uninstall the script and speed patch and reinstall it, it wont help. so i have to format the phone and load it all over again and it works fine for about 2 days tops. Anyone have any ideas why this is happening? I seem to be formatting this phone every 2 days just to get it to teather.

i had the same thing happen to my kaiser with the stock att rom what i did was flash the rom and radio. after that problem was gone never happened again. you can also try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538874
i don't know if this is of any help to you. After you get the error message can you still connect with active sync?

nope
after the errormessage i cant connect on the internet at all, i have to formatt the phone and reload everything to get it to work again

Rom and radio
What rom and radio do you reccomend for the tilt2 thats stable

i remember getting that error on my blackjack, it was mostly because i let it idle and data disconnects when not in use. its not like its a stable connection. if you wanted that you buy the crappy little usb card.

the rom i'm using right now is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=617142
and Radio 4.49.25.91 i found the link on the same page.
if you're new to flashing i suggest you go here first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540 it helped me out alot

Possible solution
The above mentioned "idle" problem is more than likely your culprit. I had a similar problem as well with the stock ROM. I suggest using NRG's Leo ROM to fix this problem. There are other solutions, but they are pretty tech savvy ones. Plus, if you haven't flashed your ROM yet, dude, you don't know what you're missing. The whole reason we're here is to push our phone's to the limit as far as functionality is concerned. Stock ROM's don't even cut it. Give a new one a whirl, I promise you won't be disappointed, plus, your reformatting issue will be gone as well, just a heads up from someone who's been around, you know?

For the Tilt2 you'll want to use the enablerapinew.cab file in the Hard SPL thread.
