Sprite Backup file from WM5 to WM6

Raul, did you actually use Sprite backup on the WM5 and then able to restore on WM6. If so, this makes any update to WM6 much easier if you don't have to reinstall all your programs.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] andygold:
Stupid me.....read it, but did it wrong anyway. Finally got it somewhat correct...

Next problem...upgrade starts to work, screen says "SD Image Update A10_G3" and " Reading SD card...". Blue progress bar almost instantly goes over to the right half way and stops. Machine seems to be locked, and only removing the battery can get it functional again.

Am I not waiting long enough for the flash? Approximately how long should this step take? Should I hard reset the unit to empty it BEFORE I do the WM6 upgrade?

Any thoughts?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kparikh82276:
I theorized that same, so i did a hard reset with a supposed new install.

I tried to reinstall the old rom A17 because the speakers where working then, but now with the reinstall the speakers not working.

So i just decided to reinstall the WM6 Rom, because it is still working except the speakers.

Is there something i can manipulate w/ the registry?

Do you know where you got the download ROM that helped fix the problem?

Thanks for your help.

**** added one more step ****

I did a reinstall of A12 ROM from dell site, but nothing no improvement.

So I'm now just keep the Football ROM because i liked it but w/o any improvement w/ my speakers.

Again if anyone knows any setting changes that will help me please do let me know.

I've done all the hard resets w/ all the available rom's. :)

wifi problems

Dell released a driver update after WM5 A12:

http://www.hkppc.com/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=5667

it is (tiacxwln.dll) 314.928 bytes long.

i have wm5 A12(official), A17, and wm6 a01 rom images

both contains byte-by-byte-compared same 311.296 bytes long tiacxwln.dll

this means, Football used official tiacxwln.dll driver in his all releases

1- so maybe using updated (by dell) tiacxwln.dll makes a difference, and i attached this to my message, just copy it over \windows

2- A17 Registry settings, related to tiacxwln.dll is below. if it is different in wm6 a01 ROM, try to change it:

i am on wm5 A17 now, and watching if:

1- wifi problem

2- wmplayer performance

3- alarm sounds problem

could be corrected or not
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] HappyMM:
I have done this into ROM image, better support.

1- wifi problem

-> solved

2- wmplayer performance

-> this is not the problem.

-> A12 wmadecoder and wmvdecoder solves the problem

3- alarm sounds problem

-> lack of alarm1.wav and alarm3.wav and alarm4.wav

but if you want to put the driver tiacxwln.dll into ROM image, you have to make cerification for use. Just put it into \windows\, the system will be unstable.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] asus535:
i would be very happy if this driver will be included in future releases

but how wifi problem is solved. i am reading 4pda forum by translate-google-com : in page38 amamba gave-up, and turned back to A17 because of wifi problems

what is the solution for wifi ?

is it turn-off and turn-on method?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] onetimeuse:
What wifi problem are you talking about?

I have been using WM6 for several days and have no problem connecting to my router, surfing the web, and grabbing files from shared folders.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fidgetyrat:
I'm not sure exactly what is going on with the WPA PSK but I tried to connect and my dell wireless utility hung up. After I disabled WIFI and re-enabled it, i could connect just fine.

Odd.

I hope this issue along with the certificates can be patched. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jflick35:
Andy, I had the same prob with A17. I had a lot of memory used up and the ax would beep at me after reset. I deleted as much garbage in main storage and then reformated my SD and put ONLY the files needed for updating the rom. I don't know which of these three things did it, but it did then update.

as for the time, that first part of "reading SD" should only take a few seconds, about as fast as it was moving before it freezes up. then another progress bar comes up, this is the actual rom update and take a few minutes at most.

I hope I helped.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] andygold:
Thank you!!!

I finally decided to do

everything

over. Re-formatted SD to FAT32, downloaded and extracted ROM files again, and now it seems to be working. I'm about half way through the image update, and now instead of a blue updater, I have a gray and black one, with RAM checksum and CRC checksum numbers at the bottom of the screen(both numbers are identical) and the DiAd file listed above.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] UnicornKaz:
could it be that you didn't set the power settings to

"FULL POWER OFF"

???

and that when you thought you had it turn off but actually that it only went to "sleep" ??

and now that when you are thinking you are "powering on" but infact you are only "waking it from suspend mode" ??

you'd be surprised how many people

"NOT"

knowing about the

"FULL POWER OFF" feature

and not knowing that you have to

"HOLD" the power button & confirmed a prompt for a true "POWER OFF" !!

otherwise ... it is only in

suspend/standby

... not fully off ;)

Speaker not working FIXED!!!!

Hello all,

I did a search and it came up with a posting on aximsite.com and i did was recommened.

Since i didn't see any posting here i might as well put up what was recommended for others to see and help them

It was recommened that the switch in the headphone jack was stuck, to unstick it you just have to simply stick in the headphone in and out a couple of times and it will losen it and you are good to go.

Now i have fully working WM6 ROM thanks for FOOTBALL...

and the speaker problem had nothing to do w/ the ROM, it was a physical fault which has a simple solution. :)

I installed them without a problem. After the soft reset, nothing showed up on the Today screen (as if nothing has been installed)

I looked into the Today setting screen and there was no HTC Tab available to be selected.

I can see the programs are there under the Windows directory of the PPC!

Kruteshok or Football - while I wait for the WM6 release - can you comment on what's changed in A17 ROM compared with the DELL ROM? I saw this request before and I'm interested to know also.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] madi123:
A17 ROM is based on the AKU 3.5.2. The last original ROM from DELL is based on the AKU 2.3.1.

"On the Windows Mobile platform the AKU is to Windows Mobile what a Service Pack is to Microsoft Windows.

Microsoft releases AKUs to allow device manufacturers with updates to create new products or fix issues with older products. These enhancements are usually not available to the consumer or end user unless released as a firmware update from the vendor"

Cited from the Wikipedia.

You may read this article about the update packs (AKU).

Following software was removed to save memory:

1. Transcriber

2. MSN Messendger

They can be installed separately if you need them.

The most visible advantages of the new ROM are:

1. Device works and responses faster.

2. You have a bit more memory.

3. New WM6 look.

However, some minor bugs are still need to be fixed. IMHO device works very stable with a new ROM; there is no much need to do a soft reset.
