Something strange happened to my WM5, I was using deepfish and multitasking with my txt msges, then pressed the home button, and I noticed the icons on the home screen for the "previous applications opened" have became windows default icons. Sorta like the "unkown type" icons in windows. I then clicked on the start menu and discovered that all the icons in my start menu has disappeared. I did a hard reset and still no change, I was wondering if theres anyway to fix this.
Thanks a lot.
There is no way to restore default, I went ahead and purchased the cid unlock thinking that I could just update to the new wm6 rom however, after purchasing the sim/cid unlock form gsmliberty, I Realized that I was not able to connect with dashV2unlock.exe. So I dont know what to do now. At the moment, the phone will connect to my desktop however all I could do is edit the registry and browse the phone. When I connect the phone to my desktop I receive "Synchronization cannot be completed successfully. REconnect ... " I'm still curious what could have happened to begin with. I still cant access anything on the phone since all the *.lnk icons on the start menu are missing.
try using xp to update your phone. it sounds like a vista problem.
I am using XP. I tried on both my systems and still the same problem. I'm not sure but am I suppose to be able to browse and view the windows folder when I explore through my desktop ?? For some reason I can't locate the windows folder.

I hope starting a new thread is the way to go on this...
I just updated to the new Sprint Official WM 6.1 ROM, and immediately could not connect to the internet.
I tried running the IOTA automatic data provisioning update (Start->Settings->Personal Tab->Phone->Services Tab->Internet->Get Settings->Start) and it failed repeatedly with a 1012 error. As was posted by others, I noticed that there was a "CurrentUserName" setting in Start->Settings->System->Device Information that had [email protected] where I would have expected to see [email protected] instead. (that would have been my Sprint provided email address) The first thing I tried was to go to the phone dialpad and dial ##3282# to start the EPST program and check my data provisioning settings (this requires that you know your MSL - Master Service Lock Code - if you are going to edit). UserName was blank there, so I tapped the blank setting and held down until an "EDIT" menu popped up. I tapped "EDIT" and changed it to the previously correct [email protected] value. After saving changes and another reboot, I still could not connect to the internet, run IOTA, and the "CurrentUserName" was still wrong. After searching through various settings looking for a way to change the currentusername, I installed PHM Registry Editor and searched again.
In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/OEM/DIM there is a key "EnableCurrentUserName" and it was set to 1. I edited that and set it to 0, exited the Registry Editor, and restarted the device by holding the power button until it warned me about shutting down. I tapped "Yes" and it shut down and restarted. The "CurrentUserName" setting no longer appeared in the Device Information page. At this point I was able to run IOTA successfully and imediately after that I could use the internet and other data services.
I hope this helps someone. Sorry to be so long winded, but I was trying to answer as many "How? Where?" questions as I could as I went.
Briefly:
1. Using WM Registry Editor software, change HKLM/Software/OEM/DIM/"EnableCurrentUserName" from 1 to 0 then save changes and exit editor.
2. Dial ##3282# and edit UserName to correct [email protected] address. Device will reboot when you exit and save changes.
3. Run IOTA by going to Start->Settings->Personal Tab->Phone->Services Tab->Internet->Get Settings->Start

anyone else know if this works?
i just flashed the new sprint rom and now the data connection does not work.. no internet.. ? I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem and does this fix it?
After some more time with this ROM installed I have found that it is not neccessary to change the ##DATA# (##3282#) user name settings. Just change the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/OEM/DIM/EnableCurrentUserName value to zero, save changes and then you can run the IOTA update successfully (or at least I can).
I have found that I need to do this every time I do a hard reset of my device. I hope this helps someone else.

this did not work for me.. I Get error code 67
i started a new thread here........ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415666
so maybe someone will chime in... the ##3282# does not work for me at all.. you hit that on the dial pad and nothing happens... so i can not access that menu...
For now i went back to a OEM rom and called sprint and they got me working by doing a MASTER RESET... also ##3282# works on OEM roms but i think the file EPST.EXE is missing from the CUSTOM roms... any input would be great..
Not working for me.
i'm sure a master reset from within #778 or whatever would work but i don't feel like
putting in the data again.

I just upgraded to NFSFAN's latest ROM, everything went well but I can not get my internet to work. The one thing I did notice is under the services tab, internet is not an option. I loaded the dcd sprint carrier 20090714 cab am I missing something else?
Thank you for any help you can provide.
Update:
Well I went back and flashed to the HTC 6.1 rom, then back to the 6.5 rom. That fixed my internet issues, but that option is still missing for me. Then after all of that my MSID was really screwed up. Everything seems to be good now.
please please help me clear the instructions
i have a horribly vague idea of what i need to do, to get the internet working again.
i already got the IOTA_1120 zip file in my cell but when i even try to open it up it says that there is no application that is related to to it, so i must start this application and open up the file from within. How do i do this? am I even doing what im supposed to??
Where exactly is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/OEM/DIM and how do i get there???
if you could please instruct me with simple stieps i would greatly appreciate it, simple being like start>program files> etc.
please help i am one step away from smashing this damm cell into the wall

The path of HKEY.... is actually on the registry. You need to use a registry editor (like PHM Regedit) to make the necessary changes to the registry. I would recommend you to re-read those instructions as they will not get any easier than that. Alternatively, if you are on Sprint's official rom and have absolutely no clue what you are doing, you can always call them and ask them for help.
As far as the IOTA zip file, if you cannot open it, that means that you do not have any program to extract from compressed files in your device. Your best bet is to transfer the file to the desktop and extract it there. Once you are done, place the extracted contents back in the device and run it in there.
Hey,
I downloaded snake from http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ to try on my HD. But I doesnt work correctly so i wanted do deinstall it. But its not in the deinstall list, and its added an ugly entry to my start menu thats unremovable too. When i got to start - settings - menu and i deselect it there I get a message: cannot move that item.
What to do to get this stupid ass app of the HD?
still need help with this please
did you try removing it via ActiveSync?
no, how can i remove a program trough activesync? I only use that to sync my contacts and calendar data with my computer.
Connect the phone via ActiveSync, then as soon as Microsoft ActiveSync comes up, go to Tools > Add/Remove Programs.
ok, I see now, i tried but no it doesnt show up in the list. Very strange, if you want you can try it, just install snake from the link provided in the first post. But warning, youll probably have the same problem.
just remove it from the windows file in the start folder.
it'll be on the phone but you won't see it to bug you.
Every time I tempt to browse to this directory via ActiveSync or Mobile Device Center, the attempt hangs explorer and I have to disconnect the PPC, next I have to reset it as it is almost 100% non-responsive. I can browse any other directory without issue, but I need to get to Start Menu to adjust and sort the programs as the default arrangement sucks.

The \windows root dir does take forever to load, be patient especially on older PC.
Hi Guys,
I work for a company that's in the process of rolling out about 300 HTC Touch Pro2's. Unfortunately a lot of people are experiencing an annoying black screen error message. The message reads -
"The Device is unable to boot because either you have turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install and application from untrusted source. Press Volume Up to reset your device or press any other button to cancel. This operation will delete all your personal data and restore the device to it's factory default settings."
Annoyingly some of our users are hitting the volume up button and wiping the device which then has to be sent back to us to be reconfigured!
Does anyone know either what causes this message, and / or how to stop it from appearing?
Thanks,
Chris
sounds like software you're installing is corrupting some portion of windows.
The only thing we're doing at the moment is enrolling them to Microsoft MDM and connecting them up to Active Sync.
We are also making a few registry changes to add our customisations such as network connections ect. Could this be causing the issue?
What's odd though is if you then reboot the PDA without hitting Volume up button all is well and you may not see the message again.
what is in the startup folder?
In the startup dir we've got five files -
BTTrayCE
HTCStartup
MFdll
PKG
poutlook
hmm. Well i don't know. what is mfdll.
Everytime I send a text message, it pops up a message letting you know that it was sent. It is extremely annoying. Is there anyway to turn it off? I went into the options and unchecked the boxes, but that didn't work.

Got under my skin too! Download CeRegEditor to your pc and sync your phone via WMDC run the CeRegEditor make connection within the program and go to tools and then unlock registry, then follow these keys HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\ change key value SMSNoSentMSG to a value of 1. Save the edit and perform soft reset. Tada no more annoyance!!! If you dont like the thought of thumbing through your registry then you can find .cab file that will preform it for you. And also you can download other programs that for the life of me I cant think of right now and install them to change this and other settings on your phone. Just do a search and youll find them. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply. That sucks that you have to do all that to get rid of this annoyance. What were they thinking when they put this message confirmation in? Wow, what a mistake.
I am pretty sure that I used HD tweak to turn it off. 2.1 - Sent notification- disabled.
Very useful app as is Schapps Advanced Config tool. Both should be on your phone.
I use "Rhodium Settings Tool" by Tom_Condom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549135 once installed go to menu>text massaging>notifications SMS sent
