I was having the exact SAME problem and despite what others may say, you can use your backed up PIM.VOL. This is how I did it...

1) Back up the PIM.VOL you'd like to keep/have it ready.

2) Flash your phone to Ookba's ROM (any one).

3) Leave the phone plugged in via USB the whole time, even as it starts doing the initial bootup/config. As SOON as your PC recognizes the phone as a USB storage device, browse to the root of the phone, rename the existing PIM.VOL (PIM.VOL.BAK) and copy over your replacement PIM.VOL.

4) Continue setting up the phone (your carrier settings, location, etc.) and let the phone reboot. You should now see your contacts without the phone being "bricked".

im using your latest ROM [Build 3VO.1.60.090209]

found bug with your time zone..tried to disable automatic time zone and manually set the time zone..but everytime i restart the phone, the time zone always change to default time zone (GMT+1 Prague, Budapest) with automatic time zone enable

this thing impact to my calendar sync to exchange..how to solve this?

Power off the phone (in your case, remove the battery), HOLD the "volume up" button (on the left side of the phone) and turn the phone on. Perform a reset and then follow the steps I told you before... Good luck!
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] nicolaerugina:
Hi,

Thank you but this was the first step i tryed! Nothing, the same Windows Mobile Version 6.5 splash screen. I hear a bip (I believe it is from "no sim present" alert) and after that the white screen, with 10 row like a writing but without to can understand what is there (see photo attached)
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] bmnaccounts:
Hmm, I was getting that same screen before. If holding volume up while powering on the phone is not doing anything, you may want to ask Ookba directly or find a how-to guide on unbricking the Dash 3G. Not to worry though, I'm sure it's a temporary software issue that will be fixed soon enough. I'll see if I can find anything for you...
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] harunjo:
i got same problem before..i switch the usb mode to storage card, connect to pc, disconnect and switch back to active sync mode again..its always work for me.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] nicolaerugina:
Hi harunjo,

I don't get the WMDC sync but trying to flash the ROM using ROMupdateutility.exe, it showing like connection is, because the Snap go on update screen but the bar stay at 0%.

And anyway, I believe that I need to start from auto_1.19.bat to flash the ROM! the ookba ROM because I dont have the original ROM.

Thank you.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] cockpitinferno:

[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] rhavasy:
Thank You ... Worked Perfectly

ookba,

These threads get long and scary for people who are on the fence about flashing because they end up with odd problem after odd problem that 99.99% of people will never see. So I just wanted to post and say that I followed the directions on a stock Dash 3G and everything went perfectly ...

The whole process including HardSPL took about 20 minutes and I had no problems either during or after the flash. This ROM looks awesome, performs excellently, and makes my phone better. I am primarily a business user and rely on my Dash for critical e-mail and I have absolutely NO regrets about flashing.

Thanks to you and JockeyW for the hard work and the fast response to issues. Donations are done for you both!

Only one minor suggestion ... I've installed Roloracer's topbar icons and I think they are great (although there is no 3G icon since they were for the original Dash LOL) ... you might want to consider adding those to your next release.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] JcNeji:
Even though i was in doubt if I should update or not..

I updated and I must say that it works close to perfection, I was doubting because i wanted faster typing speed with less errors and I must say that in that respect this rom is far superiour to the stock even (even though not perfect yet)

All the custom setting are just a treat haha

Just 1 thing i wanted to ask:

I use the sliding panels interface and with the chome editor in the rom i made a custom panel for all my favorite webpages, but that panel doesnt seem to have a collapsed title, so that when i slide trough all my panels it is blank untill i actually reach the panel.

Anyone know how to fix this?
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] ookba:
Just tested it myself. WM5torage works like a charm. Made a drive F: in My Computer and I was able to access all my files with good speed through that drive. I then disabled it and all went back to normal.

There is not way to access files in ROM. You can overwrite a file in ROM once but thats it. If you want to modify system files in ROM, I suggest using a CAB file (you need a CAB file creator).

I included my own topbar color icons in the ROM. If you go to Settings, Home, you would see a selection for "...Panels TopBar". TopBar means colored top bar icons. Now that you installed Roloracers, you overwrote mine. :rolleyes:

Sounds like there is a problem with the condensed view. You can check the CPR file in \Windows and see why condensed view is not displaying. Not sure why Titanium Config is doing this.

D'oh!:o Serves me right for not paying attention to the pics you posted and not trying all the options first. ...Should have known you've thought of just about everything.

I uninstalled the Rolloracer CAB and I see yours now (like in the second post). Looks like there are subtle differences between the signal strength, Bluetooth, and vibrate mode icons. Nice! Thanks again!

Not a ROM problem. MMS is just a bit wacky like that sometiimes. Takes a few mins to send depending on the size of the MMS. Try rebooting as well.

Hello,

Would like to report that push email with Active Sync/Exchange push email appears to be broken. Although 'Direct Push' is set to ON and 'As Items Arrive' is set in Activesync, the Exchange connection does not stay connect and disconnect after it syncronizes. The correct behaviour should be to remain connected as in previous WM6/6.1
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] rhavasy:
I've had the ROM installed for about a week and haven't noticed a problem. I get my work e-mail over the air with the same regular delivery as I did before. In fact, while sitting at my desk, I often get the notice of new corporate mail on my phone before I see it in my desktop Outlook. Could it be the Exchange server having the issue?
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] rubik:
I do run my own private exchange server and everything is set up fine. My WM6.1 was always connected. This evening i upgraded to 6.5 and reconfigured everything, but Activesync now seems to sync, then disconnect, although it is set up to remain connected. Any ideas ?
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] rhavasy:
Peak vs. Off-peak Problem?

When you say ActiveSync disconnects do you mean the process stops? I checked and I do see ActiveSync running in CeleTask whenever I look, so I can confirm that mine remains running and connected. As long as the process remains running, then it might be a settings problem.

What are the peak/off-peak settings in ActiveSync/Menu/Schedule? Try setting both Peak and Off-peak times to "As items arrive." I do set mine to only sync every 2 hours at off-peak times so today (Saturday) Active Sync doesn't remain connected -- it just polls every 2 hours. If I set it to "As items arrive" it does stay connected.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] rubik:
Activesync is still running. 'Disconnect' means it connects to the server, syncs, then disconnect. Peak/off peak are already set to 'As Items Arrive' . :(
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] harunjo:
Dear Rubik,

i dont have this issue with all ookba 6.5 rom version...all active sync direct push..running smooth with 'as items arrive' mode...well some times active sync stop connecting while i am in bad signal condition..this condition is normal..
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] rubik:
Update : My Activesync/Exchange problem is fixed. It was my self-signed certificate that was causing the problem. I suppose wm6.5's activesync behaved a little bit differently than 6.1 . It's all good now ;)
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] ookba:
Good you fixed it. Like mentioned, no ther user, nor I have had any issues with Activesync. I connect my Exchange 2007 server via SSL. Works flawlessly.

after having the 1.6 rom (latest) running for about a week (very happily btw) i powered off my phone.

After putting it on again, it continued rebooting.

sometimes before the red text showing and sometimes after.

eventually after removing the battery for a couple of times the poweron was normal and all is fine again.

did someone have the same experience? and how can i avoid this?

[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] ookba:
Again, been mentioned in many threads, this is typical tmail.exe behavior. That's why bootlauncher starts it automatically in most ROMS. Just keep tmail.exe running all the time. That way, your email comes in faster. :)

No Internet?

Hi All,

Just finished flashing a new HTC Maple for use on AT&T in the US.- All went well, but after tweaking a few settings, it can no longer access the internet. Spent many hours searching this form and other for correct settings with no luck. Does any one have specific GPRS, PROXY, MMS, SMS settings for Unlocked T-mobile DASH 3G to work on AT&T Network? It worked initially without problem. Is there a way to delete all settings and have it re-download the settings from AT&T like it did on first boot? Thanks for quick reply.

Yes, kepmap config will fix this. Good you found it. :)

3G won't work on AT&T if using the Dash3G. Tmobile uses a completely differeny band for 3G. I believe the SNAP S522 will work on AT&T.

To get GPRS and EDGE to work, run Connection Setup in Start, Accessories.

I could not find the JBlend shortcut. I had to run it from \Windows directory.

Also, how can I create a shortcut for a Java Application, like Opera Mini?

I've installed Opera Mini 5 (beta) and it is beautiful!!!! And I would like to put it on my start menu.

[]'s

Cris
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] kooldewil:
I couldnt find the shortcut for JBed either, but the .exe is located in \windows folder.

I Replaced the shortcut for the Original Opera Mini which came with the ROM to point to the new Mini 5 (beta).

Here is what I did -

1. I installed opera mini by going to the link m.opera.com/next

2. Edited the Opera Mini Link in the \Windows\Start Menu directory on the phone to the following -

1#"\Windows\jbed.exe" -run s1_?\Windows\sp_ProgramIcon.dll,-129

(replace the -run s0 with -run s1)

and it works like a charm.

Basically just increment the s0 with 1 so the 1st app you install will become s1 and continue incrementing for each java app that you install.

hope this helps.

** note: If your device is not HardSPL (highly recommended, click here), you must verify which version SPL your device has prior to flashing. Do this by turning off the device. While holding the volume down button, power on the device. You will see "SPL-1.17" or "SPL-1.19". Run the appropriate auto-?.bat to JumpSPL your device for a successful flash.

sorry to post this dummy question,but i am very new to this.i've followed the instructions above and have verified my htc snap 521 is currently on SPL-1.19.may i ask what do i need to do next? should i proceed straight to step 10? or step 3?

If you see 1.19.0000, then run auto_1.19.bat. But first, download the attachment, SDA_Applicationunlock, and run it while the phone is sync'd. You're almost there!

After HardSPL is flashed, bootloader will say 1.19.Hard.

Once you see that, flash the ROM.

my phone is application unlocked already,do i still need to run SDA_Applicationunlock?
