No news yet... One of three things could happen:

1) Florida are 5 hours behind UK time so he's in bed and forgot to post last night

2) He managed to get the dump and flashed it to his PDA and now it isn't working so he can't post

3) He couldn't get to the SD slot so couldn't take a dump.

or 4) Microsoft arrested him and he's in jail !

*Oh btw MrHappy, bring along a cam and pretend to take pictures of the BA while ROM is dumping :) hehehe

Man this is a goddam thriller, imagine this guy's heartrate when he's stepping up to the blueangel in a crowded hall with all of us waiting for him here... He's gotta do it all alone... That progress bar slowly filling while some guy with a little earphone looks suspiciously at him...

Kudos MrHandy, you've already made everyone proud.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] ncruz:
I think the best idea was to put some .mp3 on the card and say "hey let me listen to my mp3 to see if it rocks" and in the meanhile the dump was done :>

PS: I'm glad i was wrong about the rom dumppppp U GUYS ROCK :>

If the sd slot was covered he wouldn't ask us for a way to backup do SD...

Just another tought.. I've read somewhere that only devices with > 64mg would be available to 2005.. So if we only backup 64mg aren't we f!"## the whole thing up? The BA has 96mb ROM right?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the hacking forum you will find the grab_it tool, was also posted further up this thread.

Once you have renamed the file on the sd card you can no longer put it into your own device as it will dump that rom with the same file name (thus ontop of the ver 5.0)

Please write protect the sd card and use a PC to upload.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] MrHappy:
sorry to keep you guys waiting for so long... I tested the new invisible program and it works like a breeze. Stayed out at the Exchange Private Party last night as one of the MS folks has a BA with WM2005 and figured that would be more private/less attention....

Not to state the obvious but has anyone considered that MSFT could have some people who read these boards ?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] nomadman:
Good point, but i'm sure MS considers the fact that the members here are helping them fix their screwups ;)

lol, although i know what you mean, that does sound rather amusing!!!! :lol:
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] TheGadgetGuy:
I think it's fairly likely that someone from MSFT read this thread, and that's how the Blue Angel got removed.

It's quite unfortunate though, because we were THIS close to finally acquiring WM2005.

From this point on, if anyone out there has opportunity to acquire WM2005, only communicate with the members of this board via PM or Email! We never know who's watching.

Not to be all 'Conspiracy Theory' or anything, but it's pretty likely that MSFT does monitor this board. It provides a valuable source of information regarding the bugs in the Windows Mobile products.

Just my 2 cents.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] vbguru613:
it was too good to be true. There will probably never be another chance to do this, Plus the SD Card slot will be locked in the future so there should be another plan of execution.

It slipped us away.

To Microsoft!!!! you guys stink and we pay lots of $$$ for your buggy products. The least you can do is give this buggy rom.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] ncruz:
Not to scare you, but i think that if microsoft was really reading this it would leave the BA there and catch the guy when he tried to get the rom dump. But i don't think they would anything to him more than scare him...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] MrHappy:
Well, when I talked with some of the folks at the booth they said that since they only had a limited number of devices with wm5 on it they were using them in the breakout sessions to show the new features. They did say that I should come back later in the week since they won't be doing wm5 demos all the time...

Alas the fight is over for me. I have to get on a plane tonight and am heading to the airport. But don't give up yet! I deputized a co-worker who also uses the BA and he tested the app on his device and is well versed in locking the sd card if he can get his hands on it! He also mentioned trying to go to all the sessions that had anything to do with WM5 in an attempt to get his hands on it if they were using it in the session. One last day, I don't hold much hope of it happening, but I am giving it the best I know.

One thing this has done is prove to me that WM5 does exist out there for our device and that it is just a matter of time before we get it. I just wish I had had this program the first day I saw it as there was *noone* guarding it and it would have been nothing to sit there for 2min and download it. Oh well, hindsight is 20/20.

There is a lot of speculation right now on what the 6700 will be. Some reports say it is a CDMA BA with only WM10 and EVDO new.

http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000353051184/

Others say it is a HTC Apache (the CDMA version of the wizard).

http://www.pcsintel.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1016

rom dump for Apache

By the way, if it is an apache, it only has a miniSD card slot. Therefore, you would need to use the miniSD card for it. My suggestion is to bring both the cards with the rom dump program on it. Good Luck!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] hatoncat:
Ahem... time to clear the air on this...

Events, in order:

1) Sprint started testing an EV-DO update for the PPC-6600

2) Sprint pinned the PPC-6700 on their roadmap

3) Sources started saying the 6600 would get updated to EV-DO and it would be sold as such, and Sprint refused to comment

4) HTC was working on Apache, but Sprint didn't look like they were taking just yet

5) We reported the 6600 was going to be upgraded to EV-DO, and that this was likely the 6700

6) We followed up in the commentary that it was also possibly Apache

7) Engadget took our article and left out the commentary, updates, etc

8) Sprint cleared the air and promised 6600 owners an EV-DO update

9) The GSM Wizard's final specs were released

10) Apache pictures and specs leaked onto the web, along with sources specs that matched Wizard

11) We followed up saying the 6700 was now more likely Apache

In other words, it was a developing situation, we followed up, folks didn't follow through in following up on our coverage.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Poke_N_PDA:
Thanks for the correction. It is obvious that you have more info on the situation than I. However, I think we both can agree about getting a report on what the 6700 actually is.

By the way, what is this event that you will see the 6700 at lunchbox? Is this something we will see news about on engadget and other sites?
