HTC SHIFT FULL PHONE
I don't think it is currently need but I have also inclued the hardsspl for CDMA
Be careful with the RealVGA bit if you haven't got an English machine - I have so I couldn't test this bit - I inferred the solution from one of Daniel's posts.
1. Reset SnapVue if you have been hacking it.
- Run Clearstorage.exe (or Settings, Clear Storage)
- Disable Wi-Fi in Vista (Communication Manager)
- Enable Modem
2. Get Access to WM6
- In SnapVue, click Outlook E-mail
- Click Menu,New
- Click Menu,New,Insert Picture
- Where it says "My Pictures", click and navigate to "Windows" directory
- Highlight (using arrow keys) the "Start Menu" directory and copy it (using ctrl-c)
- Navigate into "Settings" directory in "Windows" and paste (ctrl-v). Ignore the calendar error.
- Click Ok and go back to SnapVue.
- Click Settings button and then "Start Menu, Programs, Internet Sharing"
- Click "Connect". The screen will say "Check USB cable.". Switch over to Vista and make sure that you have a network connection.
- Switch back to snapvue and click disconnect.
- Switch back to Vista and open Windows Explorer. From the "Computer" level, keep pressing F5 until you see Pocket_PC.
- Using "Tools, Folder Options" (alt T,O), click on the View tab and make sure that "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" is NOT enabled.
- Copy "RegistryEditor.exe" to "Pocket_PC,"\" directory.
- Still on Vista side, Using "Communication Manager", Click "Advanced Settings" and then "Reset Snapvue". Click OK.
- Switch to snapvue and wait for it to start up. If you miss the warning to allow running "RegistryEditor.exe", don't worry - click setting, Start Menu, Programs, File Explorer, then navigate to Windows, StartUp and run it from there.
- In RegistryEditor.exe, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, Services. Delete the "SnapVue" entry. Click and hold the "SnapVue" entry until the context-sensitive menu appears, then select delete.
- Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Cabfile\Shell\Open\command and change the default value to wceload.exe "%1" /nodelete - there is a space after the .exe and before the /nodelete here
- Close RegistryEditor.exe.
- In File Explorer, delete the PKG.exe and BlockTitleBar.exe files from the Windows\StartUp directory.
- Switch back to Vista and reset snapvue from Communications Manager's Advanced Settings.
- Switch back to SnapVue. When it has finished starting up and you have closed RegistryEditor, you will notice that you have the start menu at the top left of the screen.
- Tidy up - reset and delete "Start Menu" from the "Windows, Settings" directory
Pat yourself on the back! You have successfully converted the HTC shift's SnapVue to WM6.
2a. Enable all the hidden "Today" items
- Switch to WM6
- Click "Start Menu (icon at top left of screen), Programs, Internet Sharing"
- Click "Connect". The screen will say "Check USB cable.". Switch over to Vista and make sure that you have a network connection.
If not - go to Vista Connection Manager and stop and start the modem.
- go back to snapview disconnect and then connect again
- switch back to Vista
- Switch back to snapvue and click disconnect.
- Switch back to Vista and open Windows Explorer. From the "Computer" level, keep pressing F5 until you see Pocket_PC.
- In Vista, install and run ceregedit_setup.exe
- Press F1 to connect to WM6
- Use Tools, Unlock Registry to enable the import
- Use Edit, Import to import "today.reg". Ignore any errors.
- Close ceregedit
- Switch to WM6
- In "Start Menu, Settings, Today, Items", pick the today items you want to display.
3. Change the display resolution to 96 dpi (BE SURE THAT THE CHECK BOX FOR DISABLE PHONE SKIN IS CHECKED)
A word of warning - this version of RealVGA is English and does not work very well with non-English systems.
- If you have a non-English version of the Shift, then you will not have a directory called \Windows\StartUp. Before doing the rest of this section, you should create a "StartUp" directory in your Windows directory and copy all of the files from your language equivalent of StartUp.
- Switch to WM6
- Click "Start Menu (icon at top left of screen), Programs, Internet Sharing"
- Click "Connect". The screen will say "Check USB cable.". Switch over to Vista and make sure that you have a network connection.
If not - go to Vista Connection Manager and stop and start the modem.
- go back to snapview disconnect and then connect again
- switch back to Vista
- Switch back to snapvue and click disconnect.
- Switch back to Vista and open Windows Explorer. From the "Computer" level, keep pressing F5 until you see Pocket_PC.
- Copy "RealVGA_11.CAB" and "ResPack96dpi.ARM.CAB" to "Pocket_PC,"\" directory.
- Switch over to WM6
- From File Explorer (Start Menu, Programs, File Explorer), navigate to the top directory (using Up button as necessary)
- Install RealVGA_11.CAB accepting the security warning
- Install ResPack96dpi.ARM.CAB accepting the security warning and select ok to restart the system
- Run RealVGA from Start Menu, Programs
- Change to 96dpi and press OK and wait while the system restarts
- Tidy up - Using "Start Menu, Settings, System, Remove Programs" remove WM6_RealVGA (its job is done)
- In File Explorer, delete the 2 CAB files.

Trashed Snapvue
I ran the CustomRuu from the zip file you posted, and managed to get into a loop where Windows Mobile will not boot. I can get into the bootloader with tools I downloaded on XDA, but have not found a ROM that will install without an error. Do you have a CDMA compatible ROM or even the original ROM that comes with the device. Will dive into the box to see whats on the disks next.
Need help though.
the orginal rom should be included in the zip folder
ShiftCDMAFLASH is the folder that I flashed (successfully) that left me in bootloader (three color screen).
RUUNBh is in the upper middle of the screen
CLI 0200
SPL 0.14.000
appear below, and USB in a white box appears below that.
The ShiftCDMAFLASH.zip file contains a different nbh rom file from the folder above, but I cannot get past 0% on the loader screen. I have used ecshift.exe -bl to get back in bootloader mode and hard resetted the Windows mobiel side, but no luck yet. Any suggestions ? +
just give it time
The 0.19 nbh file give a 262 error
On the other hand I can flash the 1.14.651.1 Rom with no trouble but I reboot (even after a hard reset) into the tri color screen with USB on the screen as listed above. Stalled in this mode.
Any other options ? or roms that might work. The GSM roms on XDA also crash out so I am locked in the 1.14.651.1 bootloader mode.....grrrr.
Is there another option I am missing ? I also tried the Snapvue reset program for Vista from the HTC website
Snapvue Software version 1.14.651.1
Snapvue Software version 1.14.651.1 is the one that I installed on my CDMA shift and now cannot get out of bootloader screen (tricolor) despite hard resetting the WM side. I am able to reflash the above listed rom with no errors. But still end up in the bootloader screen.
No other posted rom on XDA will load (probably due to GSM/CDMA differences). Do you have an alternative CDMA rom I could use or is there a way to get out of the bootloader and force WM to load that I am missing ?
use mtty should be posted on site
Used mtty
Thanks. I had been usimg mtty. I can successfully hard reset but WM boots back into the tri color bootloader screen following hard reset. lol. Still stuck. Thanks for the suggestion though.
now do ecshift mode 0 then mode reset

Thanks, I have been doing all of the above. Restarts into the tricolor screen. I can reformat with the rom you provided. Still tricolor on hard reset. Something in the rom is preventing wm from loading. Anything else left to do ?
I am probably going to need to give up. The snapvue side is toast. Unless there is someone with the original CDMA Rom out there willing to post online (even HTC) I do not think I can make this work.
Original CDMA ROM
Hello, I had exactly the same problem, my SnapVue stood in bootloader...
CMONEX gave me a ROM for CDMA Shift (I think is the original), it worked for me
you can download it from here:
http://srmpro.gas.pemex.com/video/R....30.00_1.33_PRL60711_SHIP_MO_Disable_PPST.exe
this link wont be available forever, if you can download and upload it to a site like megaupload it will be great!
hope this helps

I hope CMONEX is okay with that.
Was able to get Snapvue up and running with the exe file listed above. Did not need to do anything else. Thanks for posting. Will need to be more careful when testing new roms.

Excelent!
you are right, but that kind o things is part of the learning process
Thanks again for all the help.
Also managed to fix the Font sizes in Snapue via registry edits so that they increase in proportion to the scaled screen resolution with RealVGA. Until I figure out how to HardSPL the CDMA Shift and cook a custom rom, this will have to do.

Installed and working on Kaiser WM6 !
Manual install process :
1. Unpack the attached ZIP file with subfolders.
2. Copy all the files to the appropriate folders on your PDA.
3. Change the registry according to the attached registry.txt (change 2 keys and create 4 new)
4. Completely turn off your PDA (to renew the registry). Reset button does not work.
5. Switch the device on.
6. In order to enter the PIN code do: Start -> Settings -> Phone -> Enter your PIN
Now you have an Avaya One-X as a dialer.
Do not forget to fill settings.ini with your own settings.
Enjoy !

What is it? A phone dialer??? I've never heard of it before. Any screenshot?
Can you provide any screenshots???
It looks like a VOIP client
http://www1.avaya.com/campaign/demo/one-x/index.html
could you please provide more info on Avaya one-x? what are the benefits of running this?
thanks!
I believe you need an Avaya VoIP system to get the one x client to work. I know they had a version for thier IP Office system but I don't think they ever updated it to run on WM6
Guys,
This is an application for WM which replaces the standard phone dialer and in addition to regular WM phone functionality it allows:
1. Manage your desktop office phone directly from your mobile
2. Make all operations like call forwarding, EC500 management, etc directly from your mobile.
It requires to have an Avaya VOIP PBX installed at your office.
Without it, it does not make sense at all.
Hi
We have an Avaya VOIP PBX installed at our office..
Could please tell us to connect HTC Touch Cruise wm6!
We have tried everyway we could, and read every document available on avaya support page, with no luck.
thank you in advance.

As people add to the list I will add them to the first set of posts so as to make reading a lot easier once the thread grows. The first posts will also have the post # that it refers to, to also help in easier reading for others.
I will personally try to test as much software as possible if not every piece thats questioned about. The phone I am using is the t-mobile wing until I get my hands on a few other phones.
Please no flaming as I am sure tons of noobs will be drawn to this thread. All I ask is if you cant read the first page then leave, because you know people are going to flame you no matter what.
So there you have it people one thread to ask complain and say what you feel about any aspect of mobile 6 & 6.1.

its just the first post leads me to an open touch release and the part thats relevant isnt very clear(about mms setup).as far as deleting arcsoft from the registry gos.
the second is very helpful but the fact that im uncomfortable deleting registry values that aren't specicific cancels it out.
any help and the diligent yet apprehensive reader of this great forum that gets made fun of by his wife for staring at the screen to read so much usefull info would be greatly appreciated!

The MMS walk through for non-working MMS. ( Originally by ndiguy5 )
1.) Remove MMS from the registry.
2.) Registry: HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA
3.) Now install Arcsoft_MMS_4281 to install MMS back to phone.
4.) Install network wizard, if you have it already installed skip this and goto the next step.
5.) Now use the network wizard to set up your settings.
6.) It should ask you to soft-reset.
7.) Now you should have a working MMS. If any problems post and I will try to assist you.

You can just normally post. I saved many spots in the beginning of this thread so it wont be a big mess.
Also as it grows I will always put the post numbers next to a particular application or fix so when people read they can get all info from the first page so you don't have to read the whole thread to solve an already solved problem or read about an application.

My Setttings -> Device Information -> shows ROM version as 4.17.405.2 WWE
what should I be entering?
Previously, when my device was a boxed-product it used to display the IPL, SPL on booting up, but after upgrading using the help found here, it only shows me the htc screen and I can only check the IPL/SPL if I go to the boot loader mode. The htcrom tool shows some options on the right side. Would entering the values there provide the values for IPL/SPL on booting?
How do I select the PrimarySplash.nb file? There is no selection box available. N checkin again, I see that nothing can be edited in the boxes on the right.
EDIT: Didn't realize that those were buttons next to the text boxes, so the 3rd question is answered. The first 2 remain...

Screenshot Please...
I have an HTC Shift without a carrier's data service, so I am not able to exploit SnapVue WM using Shiftpack method due to the lack of email without a data connection service. Nor am I able to exploit Snapvue through Internet Conection Sharing method, because that also requires a data connection sevice before showing up in Vista as a shared folder /Pocket_PC. Due to the lack of support for bluetooth, sd card, and WIFI connectivity in Snapvue WM, I am also not able to use these logical methods. Is there any other possible method(s) to unlock or upgrade SnapVue WM?
You don't need a data service. You just need a SIM card. It's harder, but it works. Just setup a fake connection under WM side, and let it try to connect. Use the internet sharing method for that.
Any sim card will work, so you can just borrow one for this.
I have a CDMA version.
I guess you have to wait for a custom rom then.
send me a PM and I can sort you out. (I assume you have SPL 0.14, as all the CDMA shift's I've seen so far)
Hi Guys
I have the same problem where I can not get a data connection. Even with a sim card inserted I can not get vista to see wm. Could it be because my wifi has suddenly disaperd? Any suggestions would be appreciated
Make sure wifi is off when trying this method.
Yes, I thought of that but even if I wanted to turn it on I can't, it is just simply not there, in vista. Even shagcontrol does not turn it on?
Liberate Snapvue the Hard way
I too have a CDMA shift and I librated with the following proceedure and it worked fine for me with no data connection. I will say you may have to do the internet sharing connection and F5 step multiple times before you will see the Icon in my computer to be able to access it but once you do be ready and quick to copy you cab files to the Snapvue side because it will not last forever. last note: if you attempted and still do not get any results check WMDC setting for the allow usb connections and be sure it is set properly
1. Reset SnapVue if you have been hacking it.
- Run Clearstorage.exe (or Settings, Clear Storage)
- Disable Wi-Fi in Vista (Communication Manager)
- Enable Modem
2. Get Access to WM6
- In SnapVue, click Outlook E-mail
- Click Menu,New
- Click Menu,New,Insert Picture
- Where it says "My Pictures", click and navigate to "Windows" directory
- Highlight (using arrow keys) the "Start Menu" directory and copy it (using ctrl-c)
- Navigate into "Settings" directory in "Windows" and paste (ctrl-v). Ignore the calendar error.
- Click Ok and go back to SnapVue.
- Click Settings button and then "Start Menu, Programs, Internet Sharing"
- Click "Connect". The screen will say "Check USB cable.". Switch over to Vista and make sure that you have a network connection.
- Switch back to snapvue and click disconnect.
- Switch back to Vista and open Windows Explorer. From the "Computer" level, keep pressing F5 until you see Pocket_PC.
- Using "Tools, Folder Options" (alt T,O), click on the View tab and make sure that "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" is NOT enabled.
- Copy "RegistryEditor.exe" to "Pocket_PC,"\" directory.
- Still on Vista side, Using "Communication Manager", Click "Advanced Settings" and then "Reset Snapvue". Click OK.
- Switch to snapvue and wait for it to start up. If you miss the warning to allow running "RegistryEditor.exe", don't worry - click setting, Start Menu, Programs, File Explorer, then navigate to Windows, StartUp and run it from there.
- In RegistryEditor.exe, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, Services. Delete the "SnapVue" entry. Click and hold the "SnapVue" entry until the context-sensitive menu appears, then select delete.
- Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Cabfile\Shell\Open\command and change the default value to wceload.exe "%1" /nodelete - there is a space after the .exe and before the /nodelete here
- Close RegistryEditor.exe.
- In File Explorer, delete the PKG.exe and BlockTitleBar.exe files from the Windows\StartUp directory.
- Switch back to Vista and reset snapvue from Communications Manager's Advanced Settings.
- Switch back to SnapVue. When it has finished starting up and you have closed RegistryEditor, you will notice that you have the start menu at the top left of the screen.
- Tidy up - reset and delete "Start Menu" from the "Windows, Settings" directory
I hope this helps if you have any other questions PM me
RegistryEditor.exe ...i can't find it .. the only thing i found is regedit.exe and is not working under windwos mobile...it says not suported..help
rom 1.30.406.0 FRE
Hello, after installing the thinking have all the options I find myself with a factory or SnapVUE I can not install USBTOOL therefore impossible for me to change again the rom I really hate .. .! So be very careful with you. If a super installer is in the corner to help me install a new rom without going through the usual procedure will be welcome. Otherwise the shift is really great.
I'm having some trouble with a shortcut on the Start Menu. I had a link to Resco File Explorer which worked fine, but then stopped working following an upgrade of the application (I suspect the upgrade process removed it some one storage area and stuck the new version in the other, or something like that). Clicking the shortcut now does nothing.
I also had it linked on the TF3D Programs Tab. This I've managed to remove and re-add using the normal interface and now works fine. However if I go to edit the start menu I can see TWO entries for Resco File Explorer - one that is ticked with a duff icon, and one which isn't but with the correct icon. By problem is that if I try and untick the duff one it errors "Cannot move that item".
Any ideas??
uninstall and reinstall. if you have an older version and upgrade, try downloading the upgraded cab and install that.
In File Explorer, go to My Device > Windows> Start Menu. Tap and hold on the inoperable shortcut and select "delete"

Excellent - many thanks - job done!
(easy when you know how..
I decided to write this post, for help some one start to use HTC HD Mini (Photon), I have been used four HTC brands, I love these toy.
Sorry for my English, I live in Brazil, and Portuguese is my native language.
1) ROM – Customization to Portuguese:
- I bought my Photon in Brazil, but it was produced in Asia, and my official support is there, I download the last official ROM from HTC site (RUU_Photon_hTC_Asia_WWE _ .... .exe), and installed it.
- I recommend to make a hard reset.
- With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then press the POWER button shortly and release it.
- Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset.
- I download the last Portuguese ROM from the site http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=660897, thanks conflipper, I put it in a empty folder.
- I use the WinZip program in the file “RUU_Photon …exe”, function “Extract to here”, for extract the files, I copy the file "RUU_signed.nbh" in an empty folder.
- I download the “SSPL”, from the site http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694409, thanks Cotulla, I put it in the same folder of the RUU_signed.nbh file, I extracted it with WinZip.
- I connected my Photon to USB computer port, I’m using Windows XP, SP3, and Microsoft ActiveSync (V. 4.5.0).
- I run the program DFT_SSPL_MINI.exe, the first time you run it, the Photon will ask you, if you want to install the program, click “yes”, at that point the program DFT_SSPL_MINI.exe “failed” in my computer, don’t worry, live the Photon in the three colors screen, running the Cotulla SSPL; run again the DFT_SSPL_MINI.exe, follow the program commands, wait until the program finish with success.
- I disconnected the USB cable, removed the Photon battery , and did a hard reset.
Remember this SSPL, only flash Splashes and OS images, the original Radio is not changed.
2) Programs I’m using:
- Internet browser: Opera 5.1, under JBlend, for quickly navigation.
- Internet browser: uZard WebP Ver. 2.0 (QVGA), for watch video.
- Skype for wm.
- CommonTime mNotes, for sync with LotusNotes.
- PHM RegEdit, registry editor.
3) Tip Enable cleartype:
- Run the PHM RegEdit program, and change the registry.
- HKLM\ControlPanel\Pen" then change the "Hide" key content from 1 to 0
- Screen control panel is available under "Sense Settings tab > Menu > More > System".
Enjoy,
