Ok, I real stumper. I have been using my SP5m for awhile with the ROM build shipped. I installed my Goodlink client on the device with email service and did not run into any problems. I recently saw a post saying a new build was released with AKU2 for this device. I know I waited to reflash my device, but i went ahead and reflashed the device. Everything works perfrectly expect when I install Good back on the device. The service requires a strong password to be entered before using the Good. I am not sure how Good implemented the password screen because upon a reset, the password screen pops up but my keypad does not work! You can see where this is going... If I cannot enter my password, my device is render useless. I had to reflash it (since ActiveSync still works), in order to get it back to working condition. I then test the default MS password system before installing Good and everything worked without a hitch. I then reinstalled Good but the same issue occured.
I tried to be sneaky and install ActiveSync Remote Display on WM5 using instructions at http://www.modaco.com/lofiversion/i...hp/t231820.html but the dang cerdisp2 executable requires you to answer a security question before running and since I can't use my device until it is unlocked and I can't unlock it since my keypad does not work
Does anyone either know who to turn off the security alert when running .exe on the device or know where in the registry to turn off the password security field? Or is anyone running Good on their device using the latest ROM?

Has anyone figured out why gprs settings & exchange password are disappearing everytime you do a soft reset!!!!!! I flashed to the Dopod new SEA rom from the official HTC 1.23 for Europe. Is there a trick to stop it from disappearing after soft reset or the rom is bogus??
Gilbert
PS: I am writing from the trinity so I apologize if this topic was discussed
its not happening to me!
I am not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but I also seem to have hard-spl 1.07ds and the 3.03 that came with the dopod rom installed in my bootloader. how I know? well if I try to downgrade to the official htc 1.23, I get the 1.07ds in the bootloader and it fails, the I try to reinstall the new dopod wm6 and it works. I have super cided device & I can write to my extended rom. could this be the reason my gprs username and password and my exchange password keep disappearing afTer a soft reset? I made a hard resetusing the two buttons to get it to factory specs & it is still doing it. I have no installed programs.
i don't believe 1.07 is hard-spl, and i don't think you can actually have two spl's on there at the same time. I think one is just being overwritten by the other.
thanks for the clarification. however why in God's name am I losing my connection settings and exchange password everytime I soft reset when I have no programs installed or previously installed cooked roms. I remember the Dopod ANZ version might have had something like this and maybe dopod pulled the rom and promised to put another one in few days. I could be wrong about that.
thanks,
gilbert
I'm also experiencing the same problem and I couldn't find a solution for it.
Have you done a hard-reset after flashing?

Just discovering the flashing thing, so I'm not expert, but as far as I understand 1.07ds is not a hard-spl, but one that is pushed onto the phone by the update utility. To know what "resident" bootloader is on the phone, U need to enter the bootloader mode by pressing power+camera button plus doing a soft-reset.
Furthermore, to avoid installation of another bootloader (like the 3.03), I installed an hard-spl (olipro 1.30) and I put the phone into bootloader mode manually prior to flashing. Otherwise, the udate utility pushes the SPL 1.07ds which does not prevent the installation of the new 3.03 bootloader.
If you have the 3.03 on your device and want to downgrade, have a look at http://trinityguides.info at the Dopod WM6 Guide.
As to the disappearing Exchange password, I do not experience this pb.
Bye
yes, it is happening to me also on SEA version.
to be honest I was not overly impressed with the official SEA version so went back to AX3L's great ROM.
as for why the exchange and GPRS settings get lost, the only thing I seem to see is that it is if I installed or uninstalled some app that needed a reboot. it was not one particular app but I seemed to see the problem after installing / uninstalling themes and the kaiser home plug.
have you done any of these and seen the issue?

My pop3 account was gone after my FIRST flash with WM6 and install of the Kaiser home plugin. But then I did a hard reset, flash WM6 SEA again, and again hard reset. No problems at all anymore... Thats why I stated the hard reset
after hours of playing with the my bloody machine, i seem to have pinpointed the bloody problem. it is the new windows messenger doing all this crap. I am not sure how as I did not go through the codes but when I don't set up windows messenger and merge the contacts with the device, even if i do a thousand soft reset, the connection to the gprs automatically comes on and my exchange syncs no problem. but when you set up messenger with the device, you start getting the same crap of disappearing gprs settings and exchange password!!!

Me too.SEA version
What a total pain! Guess I'll stick with just the radio upgrade for now then.
I was going to suggest that if things seem funky after a ROM flash it is always worth trying a re-flash in case something just went a little awry first time around. But the fact others have found the same issue seems to clearly warn that this is not a one off misfortune.
Many thanks for letting everyone know... and good luck with straightening it out.
different experience
I had lost my Exchange passward and the Cingular GPRS setting info a couple of times, but after my back up today, I lost all the settings to the point that I couldn't even connect to Wi-Fi. I hadn't done a hard reset after my flash, so I am doing that now. I never set up Messenger, so I can't imagine how that could be the problem.
Would that be the same problem as the device password that some others were screaming in other threads about wrong device password?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317841
I would guess that there's a credential database WM uses to store usernames and passwords, just like your desktop windows OS, and it either got corrupted on the memory or failed to write back to the filesystem after resetting the device.
The result would then be lost passwords, including device passwords, gprs, exchange, mails, wifi...
I have the ANZ official ROM and see the following problems (which I reported a while ago)
1) GPRS password occasionally gets blanked.
2) WEP password lost occasionally
3) Windows Live password lost occasionally .
I can't figure out what causes it- I rarely soft reset, preferring to turn off.
The biggest PITA is that my device code changed, which means I cannot use TT traffic until I get a letter from HTC.
Hmm, i'm suffering this problem also. It is mentioned in one of the various topics of the WM6 - Roms but really doný know where anymore. Anyone knows if this is possible to tackle?
Thanx!

It's not the solution I guess.
I use Prophet, but this is only topic of it.
I can't make a new account, it sais 'Name exists'. But it isn't showing up, and can't find it in the registry ...
Any ideas were to remove the old ones?
No problems for a while
I followed some guidance after having the problems, and for a good many weeks it's been fine (maybe over a month).
I set all the passwords (web, WIFI) and BT pairing.
Then I turned the device off with the power buton (NOT soft reset).
SInce then, it has all stuck.
I've been trying to upgrade since yesterday (from PDAVIET .13, which kept losing my email account and crashed iGo.)
Decided to try Bepe's ROM (really like the big key video dialer
Just installed and registered all my apps (over an hour:-( and restarted.
Now I am greeted with:
MainWind.cpp: 148
Unable connect to server
I get the exclamation point (no service,) I cannot register to ATT's network and the phone dialer doesn't come up.
I have an inkling, that it maybe the Network Wizard which I ran, but I might be wrong.
Oh, and after the restart, my email account just disappeared too:-(((
I had a similar problem with the Ultra Light WWE ROM based on Dopod 3.00.707.18. Is there a problem with all of the recent Dopod-based ROMs, or is it me?

I have the official Dopod SEA ROM and have no problems of any kind but I did have to enter the network/MMS settings to connect to the data network and send messages.
I think it is the Network Wizard. I just reinstalled everything again, then entered all the network settings manually. It works fine.
Before, i would get locked out of phone service after a reset or two, with the several Dopod-based ROMs I tried. And it seemed to happen shortly after running the Network Wizard. Updating the radio didn't help.
The only other possibility is that I opened up the Extended ROM with the Hermes utility, but I don't think I did it to all the ROMs.
I still got the disappearing email and network password thing, but tried to follow mUn's suggestion about disconnecting and soft-resetting, so we'll see if it works. Anyone with an answer why it keeps happening?
Frankly, I am a little miffed that these new Dopod ROMs are acting up on me. The old WM6 ROMs from mUn and LVSW were generally rock-solid....
I have schaps 3 rom ,with 1.51 radio (for almost 1 month),everythign was working fine , yesterday all of a sudden i had no signal , sim not detected,same sim in other phone work , but hermes fails to detect any sim ,even without a sim card when I restart the phone I don't get simcard not detecete or missing issue.
Any ideas ? Should I try changning the radio rom ?
You may want to try the following...
1) Do a full backup of your phone (Sprite or SPB Backup)
2) Hard Reset your phone...
3) If Sim still not detected, reflash your phone again with your last WM6 OS or your phone's original OS.
4) After reflash.... check your SIM...
If your SIM is still not being detected, clean the contacts where the Sim contacts your phone with a cotton swab..
If that still doesn't work... your phone may be damaged and may need repair or replacement....
Good luck...
what if my hermes detects one simcard perfectly and the gets the sim menu for the other one but it is unable to recieve signals and just keeps on searching for a network....tried hard reset and no luck ....using schaps 4 and 1.54.07 at&t radio rom...
what should i do now?
thanx for the quick replies , I just noticed in the about section of the device, Radio shows 0.0,even when phone starts , radio shows 0, my radio is corrupted isn't it ?
radio....
it would appear you'll need to reflash with a radio version that it likes or accepts - try flashing with an orginal rom, then u know its definately not the handset - just your rom that your flashing with
I just tried the 1.54 rom , doesn't do anything , I am able to do a rom update but when I try the radio update I get stuck in the bootloader altogether , then I again have to do a complete rom update.
I've been reading in the forum , I am yet not getting any gsm error , but as I mentioned I am getting all Radio as 0 ,Imei as 0 when it does start.
Mind it,I started getting all this ,just all of a sudden, I wasn't flashing anything.
I have downloaded some older radio rom's , will try to see if they work and post here , finger crossed
Hallo,
I've got a big problem with my MDAIII. After the upgrade to WM6 rom my radio doesn't work anymore. I have tried to update the Radio rom but with no succes. Every radio rom update tool i dowload will not work.
I read many wiki's and posts but come no further.
I have read that i have to downgrade to WM3, then update my radiorom and then update to WM6. But the problem is the downgrade roms to WM2003 doesn't work too.
The other strange thing is when i put out my battery and then put it back and startup my pda he says:
R:None
G:None
D:6.11.00.wwe
But when i gave the device a soft reset or hard reset the versions are:
R:1.00.00
G:1337.30
D:6.11.00.wwe
What are the real numbers?
Who can help me?
Sad MDAIII user
Edit:
If i give the device a hard reset and the startup screen give me this info:
R:1.00.00
G:1337.30
D:6.11.00.wwe
then the phone accepts the pin code from my simcard, but after the accept the device gives the message unknown SIM status.
Problem solved. Found a Radio rom that can install in bootloader mode. Or they al have to i don't actualy know.
Can you ponit me to the radio rom that actually works?
I have the same problem, although I install radio updates in bootloader, no one is kept when I remove the battery.
thanks
on WM5, WM6 and WM6.1, when u take out the battery, you need to soft-reset the device to allow the radio to boot.
ive lived with this 'issue' ever since i started flashing roms over my blueangel wm2003.
it's never been a problem...more of a minor annoyance to have to 'double-boot'.
say for example..if I've changed simcards and is switching on device for the first time id have to
1. switch on
2. reset to get the radios recognised
