[General Questions and Answers] Dillsnik:
I knew this was gonna happen when i started....i HATE activesync

I had to sync my phone with all my contacts stored on a new computer that had none of the data - i ASSUMED activesync would ask me - like it sometimes does - if i wanted to delete the items on my phone, combine them etc - we've all seen that message right?

well it did not ask, it just synced. it did something weird though - it did not delete ALL my contacts, just MOST. it left like 15 contacts for some random reason.

now before you ask, yes i did do a PIM backup before i synced just cause i was afraid of this happening, but it's not loading any contacts, and more over i think something is wrong with the program/file. when i was backing up it hung forever on outlook, and i thought it was b/c or the email mssgs it was trying to get. so i stopped the backup and unchecked "messages" to be backed up. it did the backup and saved the file. but now when i use the file to restore it's not bringing back the contacts, and i can in the log it says "0 files found" when it gets to the contacts portion of the restore.

Thankfully i still have my sms message log and can retrieve most of my phone numbers thru my text messages, but that is a huge pain and i still will have lost a good number of my numbers.

Any thoughts on:

A. what is going on with my PIM backup restore and why it is not bringing back the contacts?

B. Why would activesync have done this weird sync...if it had left me no contacts i'd understand better what had just taken place but it left me with a few of my contacts and did not delete them all

C. NEXT TIME, HOW DO I SYNC A FRESH SYNC AND GUARANTEE IT WILL HAPPEN THE SAFE WAY WHERE I TRANSFER FROM MY PHONE TO MY COMPUTER AND NOT LOSE EVERYTHING??
[General Questions and Answers] chopper the dog:
Pim bkup saves it as an XML file and can be opened in word and retrieve some names and numbers. I hate ASync as well. I just use mass storage function on device now.

good day.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stephen:
I am starting to build android roms and run into a bit of a problem. I have got ubuntu up and running, downloaded an image from shipped roms and extracted the system.img file.

I then used coffeeshop 1.7 and complied the system.ext2 file and added to an android build that had all the haret.exe etc,

The linux kernel boots and then starts to boot android but stops about the second to third line and then loops at the battery stage and wont load android.

Is there anything I am missing any help is much appreciated!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motoman234:
I know this sounds too simple but have you tried adding loop_partition=mmcblk

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foresure84:
so why must we adb on the 2.2 when the 2.1 all you needed was root explorer? to change boot animation and sound.....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
The boot animation in 2.2 is a single .zip file. Boot animations are something I haven't gotten into much (on the EVO) so I'm not sure how it was on 2.1 but I'd guess it was more like the Hero where it was a .gif or two and a sound file.

When the boot animation is packaged in a single .zip file you can't just swap out parts of it. You'd have to unzip it, change what you want, and make sure the xml (if there's on in there) is adjusted accordingly. If you swapped the sound file for one that was of the same name you'd probably be fine to rezip and drop the whole zip back in there.

This is pure speculation though. I may be totally wrong. If I were gonna try to customize my boot though that's where I would start.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foresure84:
is it possible that you can take a look for me

You can use pushboot found in the development section to change the sound and/or the bootanimation.

edit - I don't suppose you can just use astro and do a search for bootanimation.zip? That how I found it on mine before I knew where I should be looking.

just want to know because I have the original desire and I think its one of the best phone I've ever used however I my self did attend the London HTC event and played with the desire z and think the new hard ware is brilliant but I didn't have time to find everything out.

Hi there,

I know I can get a rilphone.dll and put that in my kitchen so that I know what version I'm using but, how do I check the rilphone.dll that's already in my kitchen?

I've tried using fdc taskmanager and depends.exe on the PC, looking at the version info there but all I get is 2.11.0.0 and the same was gotten using PEInfo on the PC although I admit, there was a lot of other information in PEInfo that I didn't understand...

Any pointers?

Cheers.

Use an hex editor or an compare editor like beyond compare. Regards
[Windows Mobile] arealityfarbetween:
Thanks, I thought one of those would come into it.

Am looking through it and found the WinCE version information embedded-hoped it would be near that but I couldn't see anything that sticks out, along with operator names and AT commands amongst other things.

Could you help further by directing me to a byte range I need to check? Or a search string I can use to find the necessary bit of the file? e.g. I have a rilphone I know is 1.13.25.24-but how exactly do I search for that?

Thanks again!
[Windows Mobile] malatest:
Sorry. You can see the version of radio at radio, but in rilphone you can see the version of .dll
[Windows Mobile] arealityfarbetween:
I just checked with radio 1.00.25.05 and yeah, it is plain to see there.

I've seen in the dll version that it's just 2.11.0.0 or something similar but those version numbers are familiar as a wm6.5 version.

From what I've read, the rilphone.dll is related in terms of allowing the OS access to features contained in the radio, right?

Then my question becomes-how do we know we've got the right rilphone.dll for the radio when we're building custom roms?

Do we assume e.g. that since my device's stock radio was the one shown above that the rilphone.dll will have the same version in the stock ROM? Is there absolutely no way to check the rilphone.dll version without comparing all of the functions it accepts with radio versions?
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
The rilphones come with stock rom upgrades, and are matched to the radio in the shipped rom. You just have to dump the rom and take the rilphone, and keep track of what radio it was paired with. There aren't any signatures for the radio in the dll, as you've found.

A lot of times, people will include a rilphone cab with a new radio stripped from a shipped rom (radio only upgrades from HTC or a carrier won't have a rilphone). That's the other way to know what version rilphone it is. It's up to you to keep track of them.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randymac88:
Hello there. I cant seem to find a true fix for this, or even an explanation, really. I am rooted, running Baked Snack 1.7 with Netarchy's 4.1.8 BFS kernel. My wife has the same set up (I rooted hers as well). Its been great.

In the last two weeks however, I have begun getting frequent "data call failure: your pcs vision username or password may be incorrect" errors. A profile update usually keeps it away for a few hours, but it always comes back. Unfortunately this happens even more frequently on my wife's phone, which is not good at all. She was having the problem when we first got the phones, and it cleared up, but now that she's rooted it has returned.

Does anyone know why this is happening, and how we can permanently fix it? I am on PRI 1.40. Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgallos1:
Try updating you pri and your profile that should clear up the data call failure
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randymac88:
Update my PRI to what? I'm already on 1.40, and I know its a crapshoot anyway and sometimes when trying to do it, you can actually go backwards.

I update my profile when it happens, as well as my PRL, and as I mentioned it goes away for a few hours, but then it comes back. It seems like it happens when its trying to connect to data services after sleeping. I'm looking for a permanent fix, not just a kick-the-can solution.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgallos1:
ok are you rooted and on any custom roms? If you are then you could potentially have a software malfunction that could eventually turn into a software crash that can brick your phone. If your not rooted turn off the phone hold down the vol down button and then the power button simultaneously and go into the boot screen scroll down with the vol buttons to clear storage and select with power button this will do a factory data reset which will wipe your data completely clean and start you off fresh make sure you backup all your paid apps on your pc and contacts if you dont have a gmail account.

Both my wife and I are rooted, and running Baked Snack 1.7. So you're saying we should re-flash, or choose another ROM altogether?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgallos1:
no thats if your not rooted. Re-flashing it will not make a difference i dont care what anybody says. I tried doing that and the software crash. Since your rooted, let me ask you a couple of questions from the beginning. 1) What stock version was you and your wife on when you purchased your evos? 2) What method of root did you use to root bake snack? 3) do you have insurance on both phones other than the manufacture warranty? These questions are important especially #2 because the method of root you used could have been a tampered with or caused a lot of problems on other evos and re-flashing a custom rom wont help if your rooted process is already fragged to begin with.
