If you backed up your Magician version before installing the Big Store, just restore the file you backed up.
If you didn't backup before Big Store, you will have to download a shipped ROM from the FTP site and install that. Do a search on "shipped ROMs".
Make sure you fill the \Storage with more than 7MB of data, otherwise you will have NO \Storage at all after reverting to the standard rom :-(.
On the FTP under magician there are loads of shipped-roms (EXE-FILES). In the wiki there's a discription under the magician how to update with such a shipped-rom.
Cheers, M

How is going on ?
How can I repair it?
Have you tried reflashing to a orginal rom again?? I went from bigstorage 1.11 to I-mate 1.12 and my storage went back to the orginal settings then I patch it to bigstorage again....... just a thought?...
I don't know, I tried a lot of roms and now for me there is no way to have the original storage back, with originals ROMs too, However I'm happy with my 1.12 wwe bigstorage!

It happened to me too!
I didn't play with any big storage rom, just the plain upgrade.
Everything was working fine for nearly a month and
this morning, my storage is gone!
HELP!!!!!!!
I got the same problem of missing storage in sytem.
before the disaster, my setting was
O2mini + I-mate 1.12 WWE + Bigstorage
then I flash my device with the latest 1.11 CHT rom (shipped rom). After the flashing finished, I found my "Storage" gone.
Anyone can help?
I finally got my storage back by using my backup in SD card (not bigstorage rom) to flash my machine
now my storage is back, I can change to other rom without problem.
Read this Then, you will find the way to get it back.
I upgraded from a T-mobile Eng rom to a Chinese rom days ago. It took me about 4 days to fully understand and fully accomplish this task. There are tips I feel that I should share it with other rom upgrade dummies. You may be able to find out the solutions to the problems you encounter.
1, there are 2 ways to upgrade rom, namely, SD card way and non-SD card way. As the non-SD card way involves the changing country code issue, I chose to use the SD card way. BTW, the rom upgrade method in the sticky thread is the non-SD card way.
2, the ntrw.exe file in the upgrade folder in the FTP server does not function for me. I am using Windows XP sp2 and usb 2.0 SD card reader, which might be the reason to cause the incompatibility. Solution is easy: use the ntrw 2.0 version, which can be downloaded from the FTP as well.
3, if you don't know how to replace the first 416 bytes MANNUALLY, use the bytecopy tool. You will find the tool from the FTP.
4, the two CHS (chinese simplified) rom in the bigstorage folder in the FTP don't work for me. The only one that works is the O2 mini CHS rom in the "dumped rom" folder on the FTP, but this rom is not bigstorage. Therefore, we need to mannually create a bigstorage rom. Follow the instruction here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=23250
5, CAUTION: the SD-card upgrade method DOES have the possibility to destroy the SD card. My 1 gb sandisk SD card cannot be used anymore after I tried the rom upgrade 3 times.
6, don't worry about the rom size that you dump from your magician. The rom size vary from the size of the SD card you use to dump the rom. When I used a 256 MB SD card, the dumped rom size is 25x MB. When I used a 1 gb SD card (the destroyed one -.-), the dumped rom size is 9xx MB.
If you have any other questions about rom upgrade, let me know. I may be able to help from what I learn in my dummy upgrade experience.
Cheers
My first exercise on ROM flashing
Dear Zenkle,
I am using WWE O2 mini. I have (kind-of) successfully done my first try on upgrading ROM as well. My final destiny is to upgrade to CHT BigStorage.
My first exercise was to get BigStorage on existing WWE ROM. It works on the memory side, but I lost all the O2 customization. I got a default WM2003SE. Can't use GPRS now. Do you have any ideal on how to put O2 customization back? I am currently restoring back to the original version.
I downloaded a CHT shipped ROM (CHT_11106_902_11100.zip) from XDA-Developer FTP. There isn't any nb1 file, but a couple of nbf files instead. Do you have any ideal how to flash this to the ROM?
Thanks for helping me up!

To get your o2 mini ext rom back, you need to look for the o2 mini dumped rom. However, the rom available on the FTP is the mini 1.03, but not 1.12, so you might need to look for other sources for the newest rom.
Regarding the files in the shipped rom, those files are used for the non-SD rom upgrade method. You can check the sticky post to see how to use them. link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=14973
Good luck mate
Successfully change from WWE to CHT
Hurray! I have successfully flashed CHT to my O2 mini. I am using a traditional chinese device now!
Supprisingly! CHT uses lesser memory than WWE. I have 20.14MB Storage left for WWE after hardreset, but I am getting 21.04MB Storage left for CHT.
I am going to modify it to BigStorage....
My CHT BigStorage
Hey! I have successfully turned my new CHT O2 mini to Big Storage. The extra storage is similar to WWE version. Anyway, I am very happy now.
Hi,
I've just got a new S100 and I've got a few questions. Let me first explain at what state I am now. I got a french s100 shipped. So I updated it to WWE with the exe method and no_ID just to get it into english.
Now I would like to go for the mksbigstorage thing. I've read a lot of post on it but I would like a few clarifications.
1. Can you perform big storage through exe method or only by flashing from sd card?
2. Will I have a problem with flashing because my qtek was originally french?
3. What is the difference between exe method and flashing? Does one method do more than the other?
4. Why do I have to take the first 400 or so bytes from my own rom? Does this have to be the original french one (didn't back that one up) or can I take the one that on it now?
5. If I get stuck anywhere and my device goes dead. Is it then still always possible to upgrade the rom through the exe method to get it back to original? Or could this give problems with storage and ext_rom?
6. Is there a way to make your own rom? Are there tools for prepping files for the exe method?
7. Can someone explain me the memory devision of the qtek? I know 64 mb rom and 64 mb ram. But what get installed where? Is the ext_rom and storage in rom or ram? If you see on the memory screen storage and programs is this all ram?
8. I would like to keep as much ram free as possible. If ext_rom and storage are in ram would it be an option to not have ext_rom and have storage on sd card. If so how can one do that?
9. In my ext_rom there is tpenable and tpdisable, are these things used to specify where software gets installed? I've installed a few things and I think that they are eating up my ram.
I know these are a lot of questions but answers to these would help me understand my qtek better and help me to make a decision on what I'm going to do next.
Thanks,
Stekke.
Hi all,
I'm french, so excuse my bad englsih.
I had a Pocket PC on Windows Mobile 2003 First Edition and i backup my system to my ROM memory. After a new ROM installation (Windows 2003 Second Edition), i can't see this backup file in ROM, and now i have only 1Mo in ROM Memory.
How can i erase the old backup file ? Total Commander & Co can't see the file also...
Thanks a lot for you help !
Regards,
Bertrand
Please specify exactly what device do you have.
(I am not familiar with devices that got upgraded from 2003 to 2003SE)
The reason you cant see your backup is because its gone. When you reflash your device (upgrade the ROM) the File Store (where you save stuff you don't want deleted during hard reset) is also formatted. The reason you only have 1 MB storage left could be one of two things:
A) The new ROM takes more space.
B) Something went wrong during the upgrade and the ROM was not properly partitioned.
NOTE:
There is no way to recover this data. It is recommended that you backup important stuff to SD card or your PC (ActiveSync has a backup function).
I have a PDA, a "Yakumo Alpha GPS" (equal to "Acer N35").
Yesterday, I installed wrong ROM to try to free ROM Storage, and the install have been down. So, I reinstall Windows Moblie Seconde Edition, and now my ROM Storage is 0.2 MO. (
So, yes, I think that an installation was down one week ago, and that's why i had less ROM Storage.
PLease, tell me it's possible to recover my ROM Storage...
Hi beber49!
I am not sure of the details, but I can point you in the right direction and after some searching you should have the solution:
Find a device with the original ROM, there are instructions in the wiki on how to backup ROM to SD then restore. I think if you manage to reflash your device with the original ROM you might get your storage back.
But be careful: If the reflash is not done properly, you may loose all of the free storage or even kill the device.
Sorry, that's all I have. Hope someone gives you a better idea!
i tryed that but no way to see these file...
Hi guys,
i've just downloaded the WWE_O2_1.12.00 and O2Asia_CHT_1.12.920.
I've managed to install and flash my rom to the wwe_02.1.12.00 version.
but the o2asia_cht1.12.920 is runable. nothing happens when i click autorun. wen i do a hard reset, the ext rom is not installed.
Any idea hw can i install e ext rom so tat even after hard reset it will automatically run by itself?
i'm desperate guys... help!!
any guys here can help?
i'm desperate!!
you think this is paradise for getting answer?
the stuff you get, I'm not sure how it looks like, list the contents here and someone may help you.
Anyway, if it is mostly in CABs, you would need to unlock your ext rom and copy everything into it.
hmm...ok thanks..
anyway how do i unlock my ext rom then?
this forum is so huge tat i cant find it
i've been searching up n low ... before i post this question.
and do pardon me.
i'm still very new to o2 mini (htc magician)
Ok, it seems that you can't unlock ext rom for magician. You will have to flash it. I won't recommend you to doing that though, until you are very confident of yourself.
Anyway, for the stuff you want, just have everything copied into your phone/SD card, and run all the CABs there, it will install everything for you. Perform a backup using SBP Backup to get an EXE file that you can use everytime you perform a hard reset.
Again, Magician ext rom can only be written by flashing it. Read the forum, I might be wrong.
thanks guys..
anyway i've given up on writing the ext rom..
btw.. i've jus flash my rom with e asia cht 1.12
after flashing it ..i realise tat my storage folder is missing.
any help?
