To everyone having problems with AutoConfig and GPRS/MMS/WAP etc. settings - I've found a way of uploading those XML files found in the Network folder from the extended ROM without needing AutoConfig at all! Here are the instructions:

1. Download RapiConfig.exe - it's one of the WM2003SE SDK tools from Microsoft. You can get it from its official site via the SDK package, or here at http://www.airfagev.com/utilities%5Crapiconfig.zip.
2. Extract rapiconfig.exe to a convenient folder and open a command prompt in that folder.
3. Copy your operator XML file from the 'Network' folder to that location.
4. Connect your phone, and then type in the command prompt:

rapiconfig /P <name of XML file.xml>

5. If successful, the program should let you know that.

With that, I've finally got my MMS working perfectly for Telstra.

Were you able to install AND run Autoconfig sucessfully on your phone? If so, I'd really like to know how! Also found SMS Backup
and the O2 Menu do not work on the phone - same message as Autoconfig, saying 'one or more components are missing'. Cheers

Progress report: WM6 appears very stable, the phone has not crashed at all, however it did require a reset when the phone reception seemed to be permanently 'not available' at one stage. Battery life has neither worsened nor improved - I'm squeezing approximately 48-72 hours on average on the stock 1100mah battery.

I'm having trouble configuring the phone to receive mms on Telstra (australia) network. If anyone has a working AutoConfig program from the WM5 version it would be appreciated!

Yes, you need ActiveSync 4.5 to run the update utility... any other version doesn't work. And I gather from other posts, you need WinXP, not Vista. I didn't back up my rom, couldn't find any (free) way of doing it. I don't think AutoConfig is needed overall, you can google your for telco's MMS/WAP/GPRS settings. I have to ring my telco anyway to register my IMEI to let it open MMS.

To all other upgraders - I think the upgrade is worthwhile so far - the UI looks slightly better, and I found the phone is more responsive (less cases of watching the homescreen being re-drawn top-down etc ). As for stability - my phone actually has never crashed while in WM5 (probably got a 'stable' release?), and it's too early to tell whether battery life is improved or not.

Unfortunately I'm in the same boat as you

I can't get the 'extended ROM' to display in the system info - I tried running the update program the phone even with after a hard reset... still no luck - the program just says 'Fail to update'. Also discovered it re-writes the entire phone's ROM because I left that abi file on the microSD!

What is in that extended ROM feature apart from the label e.g. extra functions/progs? If it only gives you ClearVue I might just forget it instead . Did you delete the abi file on the card before running the program or replace that file with the other 1MB abi?

Tip for other upgraders - if you find the phone switching on to an 'update' screen, just do a hard reset.


EDIT: I solved the problem.
1. YES - you do need to delete all abi files on the SD card.
2. Do a hard reset on your phone, and reboot the computer
3. Run the update program, and follow instructions per se

To answer my own questions again... yes the Extended rom = ClearVue and that '2.2.0' label in System Info

Cheers jtaysw. I think there's now enough info to write a proper guide to help the others...

Hi, jtaysw, I have an australian (asian sourced O2 'non-XDA') graphite, and I can confirm your steps do work, thanks very much indeed!!! However, I found you must format the microSD card to FAT16 format beforehand or the bootloader screen will just hang... I used a 2GB card, non-SDHC type. I also didn't have to run the update tool after it upgrading... wm6 just booted up and I could use it straight away with activesync etc.
