My HTC S710 kept on restarting and didnot go beyound the HTC screen. I did a Hardreset... But 2 my surprise after the hard reset the 3D menu screen is gone. This is strange as it should be inbuilt in the ROM. Do we have to install 3D Menu separetely and if yes where can I have the application to install so that I can have the 3D menu display back on my S710.
3D Menu?
Usually, if your device can't boot, pulling out the mem stick and reboot helps. Push memstick back in after it has rebooted.
i can't find hard reset i don't understand where i found expert???
Click Start and look for a folder called Expert. In it you find Clear Storage.
Start it and type 1234 and click Yes, Your device will reset all settings to manufacturer default.
I think it's the same as Dopod C500 in Taiwan, which you have to register to their website to download it back, put it in your storage card under root\2577 folder by cardreader. Put the card back in then it will install automatically.
If you can download from the official website, could you please send me a copy, I want to try this one out too, many thanks in advance.
I went to \\\registry\HKLM: and was scrolling when i accidently renamed one of the folders to "d"....now my tp freezes. i can launch total commander but not do much else. can someone take a look and let me know what to rename the folder?

Hard Reset has to work...Cuz it restores default everything.
Hi Webazoid, I just checked and there is no other folder starting with "d" except the ones you mention.
Just hard reset to restore the original ROM.
Good luck.

he renamed the folder to d so it could start with anything.
to help him out go through your hklm registry and see what folder you have that he doesn't. and it should have the contents of what he initially posted.

you probably attempted to hard reset by going to clear storage in settings right?
if so hold down the volume down and center button, then press the stylus in the soft reset hole. Keep holding down volume down and center until it comes up with a message on your screen saying its gonna clear all data yada yada and there you go.
IF that doesnt work.. i guess re-flash the rom.
i just hard resetted. works fine now. lost all settings though.
Too late, but it was the Software folder, based on the content you list.
I know you already have a Software folder but it was probably recreated empty by some program.
I made a bad change in shellres.dll.0409.mui and my device (Herald) cannot boot normally. It is frozen on the Windows welcome page (WM6.0).
So, Activesync cannot detect the device.
I would like to copy the good file from my computer to the device, or to copy the good file which is still installed on my device in \Temp, to \windows.
Is it possible to do that with mtty, with the bootloader mode, or with another tool ?
I'm afraid that a hard reset is not useful because shellres.dll.0409.mui is a "ROM file" (ROM property checked, is it considered as the ROM component ?).
And I don't want to flash ou upgrade the ROM. It is Ok except shellres.
Thanks for your help !
You don't need to flash again the rom. I had this problem a lot of times and with a hard reset solved. This file makes the translation for the main wm applications, so if its wrong the applications fail to start, and for this you cannot achive an activesync connection. But with a hard reset the device returns to factory settins and all windows files replaced with the defaults, so you can boot it again normally.
Possible without a hard reset ?
... because I didn't have a backup. So, I would prefer another solution.
Other question : when a file is marked as "ROM" in the properties, does that mean this is a real part of the ROM ? Or is the ROM stored elsewhere ?
Rom is "read only image like a cd rom. you can't change one file on the cd rom without rewriting the entire cd. When you flash a rom you are rewriting that cd.
In other words the actual "rom" is stored elsewhere and reloaded when you hardreset.
Would WM5torage be of any use?
no his phone won't load so therefore he can't install anything.
plus i don't think wm5torage is compatible with 6 or 6.1 (it may have been that it was just 6.1 ....i've seen people complaining about it, i may be wrong)
I made the hard reset but I have to do again everything...
... and I can't change the read-only property of shellres.dll.0409.mui.
I'm creating a new question...
So I want to flash my T-mobile wing, but I barely understand what flashing is. Can't understand your terminology, ......and even though I find some roms, none of them have specific instructions on how to do this.
Thanks in advance for all of you who answer...and I know some will say "search and find" but I've searched and found, but haven't understood.
Wrong place for this post, although there is no clear questions and answers section.
Trust me when I say the information is there.
Definitions:
RUU: Stock Operating System (ROM) that comes with your phone.
ROM: Phone Operating System.
SuperCID: Unlocks the device to allow flashing of non-stock and custom ROMs.
USPL: Allows you to temporary SuperCID your device to enable flashing using a Flash Center Utility in Windows. You cannot use LZX compressed ROMs, and you cannot flash ROMs requiring an SD Card.
HardSPL: Permanently (Well Almost) SuperCIDs your device to allow you to flash any ROM of any type, as long as it is a Herald/Wing ROM. You can flash using SD card, or through a Flash Center. I say it is almost permanent because it can be reversed.
However, for the sake of this, I assume you'd like the easiest and safest way. SO I will instruct you how to USPL your device to allow you to temporarily unlock it. Remember, you cannot use a LZX compressed ROM with this method, or ROM requiring an SD Card to flash.
First things first, you need to download the folder im going to provide you. Save the zip to your desktop and extract it. Now the fun begins.
1. Drag and extract the .nbh file you downloaded from the ROM and place it inside the RUU folder located inside of the MyFirstRom folder.
2. Turn your phone to flight mode. You can do this in the Comm Manager found in your Connection Settings.
3. Next make sure your phone is connected to your computer and you have Activesync (Win XP) or Mobile Device Center (Vista or Windows 7) connected with a green light.
4. Execute the application Herald-USPL (located in the MyFirstRom folder).
5. Wait for it to verify, press Enter. Wait for it to load SPL, PDA screen will go white at about 70 percent. If it doesn't and it hangs on a tux logo with a little command prompt (on the phone, sometimes this happens.) don't worry and just reset and try again.
6.If everything is successful and the PDA screen is white, press Enter and it'll launch the RUU installer application on your computer.
7. Follow the instructions, Press the Update button when it asks you what ROM you are installing. It should show some version number. Press Next, and it'll start flashing. It will say it will take 10 minutes, it'll go faster than that. After it's finished, the PDA will automatically reset to the new RUU.
If you experience any problems, don't panic, Soft Reset your device by pushing the stylus into the small whole next to the volume slider. If the phone goes into an endless reset, don't panic... Hard reset your phone by pressing holding the two soft-keys (keys with lines located above the Windows key and Ok key) while pressing the sylus into the reset hole. Release the soft keys while still holding reset and then release the reset. It will come up with a screen telling you you are being set to factory settings, press the Send key. (Green phone key)

Reinstall your phone's factory ROM. (It needs to be the factory, since you didn't hardSPL, you can only flash signed ROMs from the SPL screen.)
I was asked to port my Android Loader for the HD2 so that the HD Mini users could have the same benefits of automating the boot process. The result is this thread and I hope you can benefit from my work.
**PLEASE READ ALL THIS POST BEFORE DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING THE APP TO AVOID ANY PROBLEMS**
**IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS PLEASE READ POST2 *HERE* BEFORE POSTING YOUR PROBLEM IN THE THREAD**
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
This Android Loader will allow you to do a few things. Firstly you can start Android easily once you are already in Windows. It comes with a cool looking icon in the Start Menu and you can add it to Sense or Mobile Shell or whatever you use as your day to day interface.
INSTALL THIS APP TO DEVICE MEMORY!! DO NOT INSTALL TO STORAGE CARD OR YOU MAY HAVE PROBLEMS!!
After installation you will be asked if you want a dual boot option after you start your phone. If you do then you can set your default Operating System (Android or Windows Mobile), then you will be asked for an AutoBoot timeout (3, 5, 10, 20, 30 or 60 seconds). You will then be asked which Icons you want to be displayed in the Start Menu (Android and Android AFTER a Soft Reset with no prompts). The 'Android with Soft Reset' icon will allow you to boot cleanly into Android straight after Windows Mobile finishes loading if you dont want a Dual Boot option.
Lastly you will be asked to select the Path where your Android files have been copied to. At the moment your Android files are copied to the ROOT of the 'STORAGE CARD' and this is what should be selected, unless they are moved in future Development updates of Android.
If you set up a Dual Boot option then after a soft reset of your phone, as soon as WindowsMobile loads up you will be prompted to choose what you want to boot into. If you make no selection then your default Operating System will be Auto loaded after the time out.
Last but by no means least there is a folder in the Start Menu called 'Android Loader' which holds a Manager app. With this app you can change any of the default settings. There are also 2 switches in this Start Menu Folder. Fast Mode will load Android as soon as the icon is clicked, Safe Mode will always ask for confirmation when the icon is clicked to avoid accidental loading.
When Android loader runs it will run Haret_Photon7227.exe after a 1 second delay which will start Android.
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
This app should work with ANY language Rom as a script searches for the correct name of the Storage Card when it is first run. If there are any problems with non WWE Roms then please let me know.
DONT ASK IN THIS THREAD ABOUT QUESTIONS OR PROBLEMS WITH ANDROID. THIS IS TO BE KEPT JUST ABOUT THE ANDROID LOADER.
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
Cab Useage:
1. Make sure you have your desired build of Android copied across to your Storage Card BEFORE installing this app.
2. INSTALL THE CAB TO DEVICE MEMORY (IN WINDOWS MOBILE)!! DO NOT INSTALL TO STORAGE CARD!!
3. You will now be asked if you want a prompt everytime you start WindowsMobile to run Android or continue to Windows. This is your Autoboot setting. If you select No then you wont get a prompt after WindowsMobile boots up.
4. You will now be asked which Android links you want displayed in the Start Menu (Android, Android with Soft Reset or Both).
5. You will now be asked select the folder where your Android files are copied to. THIS SHOULD BE SET TO STORAGE CARD (WITH NO SUB FOLDER)!! You only have to do this once, it will remember the settings until you uninstall the program.
NOTE: If your icons dont change in HTC Sense after upgrading the cab then install and run SICC (Sense Icon Cache Clearer) *HERE* and your new icon will be shown after a soft reset.

Problem Solving
To check your Settings you must have a Registry Editor installed on your Phone (free ones can be googled):
Browse to HKLM, Software, MSkipAndroidLoader
Check all the Sub Folders are set correctly
- AndroidFolder: Should be set to \Storage Card (or equivalent for your language),
- AutoTimeout: Duration til AutoBoot (in Seconds),
- BootupOS: Android or WindowsMobile,
- Mode: Fast or Safe,
- StartupOption: Yes or No
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
Android isn't loading:
Did you copy your Android files to the root of the Storage Card first? Yes
Did you install this app to DEVICE Memory? Yes. Are you Sure? YES.. Are you ABSOLUTELY SURE?? Ok maybe I installed it to Storage Card..
This App must be installed to DEVICE MEMORY or it could have problems. Uninstall the Loader from Start, Settings, System, Remove Programs and reinstall to DEVICE MEMORY.
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
I Installed to Storage Card by mistake and now it wont uninstall:
In your File Manager browse to Device, Program Files and Delete the MSkip Android Tools folder
Next using a Registry Editor browse to HKLM, Software and Delete the MSkipAndroidLoader folder
Lastly try reinstalling the Cab to DEVICE MEMORY (it should let you now)
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------

problem continues, also while trying to start from the start menu (android softreset), settings from folder do work..
Problem here. i install it and it works, but not from the start. I have choose android as default operation system, but it always starts up first windows mobile, and then nothing happends. I mus then click on the android icon and then android started. is this correct?

So you have Android set as the default on boot up? Does it say Android is set as default when the screen pops up? What time out do you have set? Which folder do you have set?
Do you have a registry editor app on your phone so you can check some settings for me?
Mark.

Please give us more details as it is doubtful your issue is related to this Android Loader v1.0 cab. For example, is it the same result if you manually select Haret_Photon7227.exe from SDCard and start Android? Is it the same issue if you boot into Windows Mobile?
If you have only just installed Android to your HD Mini, perhaps you use the manual method for a few times so there are no booting issues. Without knowing the full details it could simply be that your files zImage, initrd.gz, system.ext2, STARTUP.TXT, HARET_PHOTON7227.exe and the update directory are NOT installed in your SDCard root directory ie. (SDCard\)

i never have problem to boot Haret from sdcard before this... my hd mini working just fine in android... i been try not to make its in sleep mode, but my phone is not stop loading even after 2hour.. its look like my phone be very2 slowly...
This is unusual as Android Loader v1.0 cab does not change the ROM bootloader. it merely automates the process of having to go into the SDCard then selecting Haret_Photon7227.exe. Maybe you could try the solution that -rObin- applied in post #13 and that is to make sure that Android Loader v1.0 setting is physically selected as the sdcard\ ie. Storage Card root. To change this you need to go into the windows mobile start menu folder called Android Loader (as explained in post #1) then select the Manager application to change the default directory to "Storage Card" then press OK.
Otherwise if this still does not fix things, please uninstall Android Loader v1.0 cab so the associated Android Loader v1.0 cab HKLM settings can be removed as well as the software, then try manually selecting Haret_Photon7227.exe from \SDCard directory and start Android. Is the result the same?
