the cam button works. you have to assign it. the only beef i have with this rom is that when you go to auto shot (count down) it leaves garbage on the screen. or if it wakes up from camera mode, the screen is all screwy. otherwise it works pretty good. i'd say don't bother with older versions if you have the apache.

[Hasoan1000]

Nice! If I had seen this sooner I might not have bought a new phone, but I'm glad I did anyway because my Moment is cool. Also, I was almost through my second battery for the PPC6700 and it seemed pointless to buy another one. Anyone want to buy a PPC6700 with WM6.5? ;)

[mafioso333333]

[NICKELGHANDI]

Hey guys, I just put a new link to the files which should make downloading them much easier. It is in the description at the very bottom.

[anrtours]

I try to set window mobile 6.5 but can not download bootload, can you advise me the way to download the correct bootloader?

Thanks in advance for your help.

[anrtours]

Hello,

I try to set window mobile 6.5 but can not download bootload, can you advise me the way to download the correct bootloader?

Thanks in advance for your help.

[NICKELGHANDI]

Keyboard should work. I never had any problems with it. Yes you should be able to use it with your mac but I have no way of knowing for sure.

[emceeschwartz]

can i use this phone with my mac?

[dkabot]

I presume the keyboard still works after the upgrade.

Am I correct in assuming this?

[Bgigs2010]

Finally, It worked. Thanks man.

[Bgigs2010]

I tried it again and again and still it take a very short amount of time to upgrade and it does nothing. It says done hard reset, then I hard reset and it goes back to serial. Can you send me a different upgrade because this one obviously isnt working for me?

[NICKELGHANDI]

Bgigs

Just run the file again. Sometimes it takes a few tries. It took me three the first time I flashed. Just try again. Let me know if you have any other problems.

[jeffzamy05]

@NICKELGHANDI can i get the file

[NICKELGHANDI]

Bgigs, run the emergency backup file and if you want to try again then do it. Make sure your bootloader version is the same as I said in the video. If it's not find another 6.5 rom. Or let me know and I'll try.

[Bgigs2010]

Now I did the emegency restore and my phone is back to the way it was but I still dont understand how to put 6.5 on it

[Bgigs2010]

I used my xp computer and it was checking my phone then it said it was complete when my phone still does not turn on. It didn't do anything. I took like 2 seconds to do.

[Bgigs2010]

Can someone help me. I just want to get my pphone up and running again. it tells me WM 6.5 is not compatable whith my device. So why won't it work for me?

[KIDDSWAGG619]

[MrBalkarandeep2011]

yeah i downloaded it on the computer i have windows 7 so maybe thats the problem but i downloaded put it in bootloader mode and tried it but it doest work.

[izlude2]

Thanks a million buddy! Say... is there any chance of a 6.5.3? I know that's pushing it :P but just wondering.

What I mean is, "is it too early"? This will do "NICELY" I think you're the man (also ppc geeks folks)

[MrBalkarandeep2011]

hey i got windows mobile 6.0 on my apache and i tried the download and it didnt work

it says hte file is not designed for your device?

[NICKELGHANDI]

Did you try to run it on your device or the computer? it only works when you run it from the computer. Follow the video exactly.

[mpodurgiel1955]

I received the same error message. I'm running Vista, could that be the problem?

[mpodurgiel1955]

I've confirmed that Vista is not the problem in getting the error message "not designed for your device" I ran it in XP with the same results.

[NICKELGHANDI]

Don't run it on your device. Run it from your computer with your device plugged into the computer. That should work.

[multicompatibledude]

Hey man, i just got the htc pro s730, it has winmobile 6, i wondered if you can make a vid or give me some links to upgrading to either 6.1 or prefferebly 6.5. please answer, Jamie ;D

[NICKELGHANDI]

I'll try man. I myself use a touch pro As my main phone and it's been hard to find a good ROM. I'll post one when I find one though.

[multicompatibledude]

@NICKELGHANDI thanks man, looking forward to a reply ;D

[koowiase]

Hey Nick I have touch pro 2 with sprint. Can u guide me on how to put that 6.5 on mine? thanks

[NICKELGHANDI]

Probably. I might be able to find a package for you but I do not have the touch pro 2 so i cant do a video. The install works the same as on this video but I'll find a package for you.

[NICKELGHANDI]

Replied via Personal Message.

[dorbel52]

we hav to instal service pack for what every time you reset..????

[NICKELGHANDI]

Okay. The service pack is what gives your phone connectivity to the Sprint network. Sometime when the ROM is flashed, this gets removed. Not always but sometimes. In the .zip file that is in the link in the description, there is a folder marked "unlock phone." If you boot up your device and wait 1 minute and still don't have service, copy this file to either your storage card or to your phone. Go int file explorer on your device and click Autorun.exe. This will install everything needed. The

[foreignercatracho]

can i install it on my old PPC toshiba e310? I don't have the USB cable 4 it how can i install it without having the USB and without having internet on it? please help me.

[NICKELGHANDI]

This ROM will not work on any phone other than the sprint PPC 6700. No. You cannot do it. If you want to upgrade the firmware i can look for something out there but I dont have a toshiba e310 so it will be difficult. As for the USB you should probably just buy a new cable. They cost anywhere from $1.00 to $10.00.

[foreignercatracho]

Thanks. can you help me to set up the internet options of my PDA i tried to follow the step other people have told me but it hasn't work.

[NICKELGHANDI]

phone will complete the installation and reboot once it is complete. Leave it alone until it completely boots up again and you are good to go. I mention this towards the end of the video. Watch it again if these instructions don't help. It is also explained in the notepad file labeled "read me first" in the .zip file you download from the link in the description. Hope this helps and if not just comment again and I'll try to do a video tutorial on it. Good luck and happy flashing! :)

[NICKELGHANDI]

the place in the video where i begin to talk about the service pack is approximately at 10:03.

[NICKELGHANDI]

not every time you reset. It is installed to the ROM location on your device. You can even do another hard reset and it will still be there. It is just useful to have when flashing to custom Roms.

[vashx22]

I LOVE YOU!!! thank you soooo much!

[NICKELGHANDI]

You are quite welcome! Hope it serves you well. It's a great phone and should be used to its full potential.

[NICKELGHANDI]

The link is in the description. Click more and then click on the rapidshare link. Download the file. If you get that stupid error message, just wait two minutes and try again. Continue to do that until it downloads.
