Reversing Back to ActiveSync in Vista Instead of WMDC

A few days ago I decided to upgrade my HTC Blue Angel Pocket PC Windows Mobile 2003SE to a newer ROM, based on Windows Mobile 5.0. So I checked XDA-Developers forum for the newest ROM, I found a ROM cooked by Helmi.
As my Desktop PC runs a Vista, the RUU program couldn't perform the upgrading process, so after a few unsuccessful trys the only way I had, was to install a Windows XP on one of my partitions, only because of this RUU.
Any way, It worked and the upgrade successfully finished.
I was surfing XDA-Developers today, find out a useful link about how to make it possible running these kind of RUU's perform on Vista as well. Follow the instructions below to get your Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC), use ActiveSyncs drivers, in order to back to XP's situation.





UPDATE: Please try downloading the latest WMDC first before attempting anything in this section of the guides. you will find the latest version HERE .

To follow this guide please make sure you have a copy of WinRAR installed, I will refer to the Windows Mobile Device Centre as the WMDC for ease of reading. If you do not have the WMDC installed please go here to install it first.

One problem with windows VISTA is that it uses the new "Windows Mobile Device Centre" and not activesync which we are used to, thus our standard RUU programs will not upgrade our devices as in windows XP. This guide will show you how to configure VISTA to work just the same as XP with our RUU programs.

For this guide firstly you need to download the new drivers:

• Drivers for Windows Vista x32

• Drivers for Windows Vista x64

Please note the x64 drivers are unsigned so to use them successfully you must disable driver signing.

Extract the contents to a folder on your desktop, call this folder "AS_DRIVERS". It contains the drivers from activesync which we will use instead of the native VISTA WMDC drivers when the device is in bootloader.

Now you must enter the bootloader on your device, to do this press and hold both the side ok button and the power button then put your stylus into the hole on the bottom of the device, your device will reset and show the red blue green bootloader screen. LEAVE THE DEVICE IN BOOTLOADER MODE and connect it using the USB cable to your VISTA PC.

Now navigate into the WMDC (Start>All Programs>Windows Mobile Device Center) and click on the "connection settings" menu icon

In the connection settings menu untick "allow USB connections" then press OK.

Now exit the WMDC and return to the desktop, go into the start menu and type "Services", this will take you into the local services dialogue and show a list of all services either running or registered with your pc.

Scroll down the list and make sure these services are present:

• Windows Mobile-based connectivity

• Windows Mobile 2003-based connectivity

If these services are not started then double click each one and set them to Automatic start by clicking the "startup-type" drop-down menu and selecting automatic then click the start button in the same window, apply the setting by pressing OK. Now return back to the desktop again.

Go into the start menu and type "Device Manager" then run, this will take you into the device manager. Click the "+" symbol next to "Mobile Devices" and double click on "HTC USB Sync".

This will bring up the properties of the currently connected device.

Go to the "Driver" tab and click "Update Driver".

Click "Browse My Computer for Driver Software".

Select "Let me pick from a list...."

Click the "Have Disk" button.

Click "Browse" and navigate to the AS_DRIVERS folder we created earlier.

Vista x32 users select the file "wceusbsh.inf"
Vista x64 users select the file "wceusbshx64.inf"

Then click Open.

click next and the driver will be installed (wait a moment).

Press close and escape back to the desktop now.

Now we must stop the WMDC process, start the task manager by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Escape.

click the WMDC line and click "End Process". In the confirmation window, again press End Process.

Now re-enter the WMDC and re-enable USB connections (click connection settings and tick the box "enable USB connections").

Your RUU programs for HardSPL/Radios/WM6 ROMs should now run as desired once you are synced with WMDC. Since we have updated the driver which vista uses when the device is in bootloader mode.

NOTE:: This technique is still in testing so if you have any issues please post in the official thread. Until we find another way to get RUU working with vista you may need to revert back to XP for upgrading.

How to Overclock A Pocket PC's CPU?

XCPUScalar allows you to dynamically scale the processor speed of your handheld
Pocket PC 2002, Windows Mobile 2003, WM2003 SE, and Windows Mobile 5. It uses
the power of the XSCALE or TI OMAP (OMAP850 and OMAP1510) processor and unlocks
its dynamic scaling capabilities. You can scale the processor speed from 100 to
728MHz. By scaling the processor speed down, you can increase the battery life
between recharges or increase the speed when you need more power for playing
games or multimedia programs that require more CPU power.

from Immiersoft, XCPUScalar Producer.

It's definitely important for daily use of PPC to have such program installed. It increases and overclocks the speed of XScale Cpu by doing some hack stuff on it. For my 400 MHz Blue Angel, it increases the speed up to 530 MHz with no crashes. The only problem is the battery eating when working on higher speeds.
Of course you can use it to reduce the speed too, so as my experience the battery will live about 20-30% longer.
I don't like the automatic speed changer of XCPUScalar as it gets its time to change to pre-set speed on automatic change. But it works fine if you set the minimum speed to your Pocket PC's normal CPU speed. (As mine is 400 MHz) and just use it for higher speeds auto adjusting than normal.
Don't try to use it on Omap CPU's as XCPUScalar doesn't operate any changes on speed. There are some complatible Omap devices but some folks with Omap devices said It's not have any effects...

See the compatible PPC devices below:

"Minutes to Midnight" Linkin Park New Album; Fake or Real?

Remaining days to official release of LP new album called "Minutes to Midnight" there are Tracks all over the Internet ready to download specially in P2P networks; all related to Linkin Park. The case is if they are real.

In Fact, real o not, these tracks are awesome! As I just download some of them from Limwire, I figured in some of them the vocals are not similar to Mike or Chester's voice; but some are.

According to a Chester's interview, the genre is completely changed. Maybe It's not true to say but I believe some tracks are some how similar to P.O.D's songs but absolutely greater!

This is Chester's Interview about the musical style:

In a recent interview with MTV.com, Chester Bennington explained that the nu Metal sound from their previous albums is completely gone. He also stated that the new album is a mix of punk, classic rock, and hip-hop beats.

In the December issue of Blender magazine, Chester talked a little bit about the sound of the upcoming album, "Rick has brought more of a stripped down, classic-rock and hip-hop kind of feel. We're using vintage guitars and drums carved out of wood and skin for a more tribal sound. It's definitely not nu metal." In an interview with Brazilian paper Folhateen, Chester confirmed that the 'rap/rock', 'nu-metal' sound that Linkin Park came to be known for, is almost non-existent on the new album, "This time around, Mike [Shinoda] is singing a lot more. It may seem like he's not on the record, but he's doing a lot of the harmonics. He also sings a couple of songs alone.
We're presenting ourselves in a different way. We've had a hair cut, clothing changes and, here it is, here is a new thing."

Official notes, determines the track names of Minutes to Midnight Album are as the following:

1. "Wake"
   


2. "Given Up"
   


3. "Leave Out All the Rest"
   


4. "Bleed It Out"
   


5. "Shadow of the Day"
   


6. "What I've Done" – 3:28
   


7. "Hands Held High"
   


8. "No More Sorrow"
   


9. "Valentine's Day"
   


10. "In Between"
    


11. "In Pieces"
    


12. "The Little Things Give You Away"
    

But available songs in Internet have these Track titles on same Minutes to Midnight Album of LP:

1. stand..

2. Bleed It Out

3. Get Through

4. What I’ve Done

5. In This World

6. The Little Things Give You Away

7. Hold Nothing Back

8. Over The Top

9. Prommise

10. Real Life

11. Afraid This Time

12. 2.World

13. Until The End

14. Collapsing The Unit

15. We Use the Pain

16. One Perfect Something

Bonus Tracks

17. No Way!

18. Feel (demo’01)

19. Screaming at Space

20. [Qwerty] (Live Sommer Sonic ‘06)

This LP's new album made to be released officially on May 14, 2007.

Another Fact that make believers of the fake being of the current "Minutes to Midnights" downloading available album from P2P's is the publishing of the "What I've done" awesome video that It's totally different from the same track in these previous downloads.

Anyway,Fake or not! I Love LinkinPark! Who's with me? Those who don't:

"GET AWAY FROM MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeee......."
