HI Guys
Can any one help me on this.
I have kept a backup of all the Extended ROM Files on my Laptop. After I installed the EXtended ROM, I got a big storage space.
Now how & where should i copy this extended ROM files to run automatically in case of Hard reset.
Pls help

Then you have to reinstall your old shipped rom if you want to have the cabs in the extended rom to be installed automatically after hard reset, but if you want to keep the big storage rom, you have to manually install the cabs.

The OS requires appr. 34MByte. The Extended ROM about 22MByte and Storage space is only 8MByte.
Did someone already find out how to REMOVE the extended ROM. It's just 22MByte of useless storage space now. Once the apps in it are installed about 40% of the available flash space is just sitting there.
It would be great to have 30MByte of Storage space and keep a copy of the Extended ROM applications on a SD Card, so you still have them if you would ever need a hard reset.
In most ROM versions (WWE) the complete 22MByte is not even used. HTC just designed it to fit all Extended ROM versions.
So, if somebody finds out how to remove the Extended ROM and replace it with Storage space. That would be great.

Some way to save you memory in oyur XDA mini
1. First, Backup your XDA mini
2. Do a Hard-Reset and wait until it goes to the "Today" screen
3. And then there is message will tell you that,it will start installing the Extended Rom in 3 seconds.
4. At this moment DON'T let the installation run.And Do a Soft-Reset immediately~!~!
5. After you do this Soft-Reset,you can go to check your "Memory" and You can also see a "Extended_ROM" in your "File Explorer"
6. But You can't modify the file in "Extended_ROM" folder you can only choose something that you want and install back into your XDA mini.

Hi is it possibel to resize the ext_rom???
it's right now about 20 MB and olny 10 mb are used.
Does anybody know a tool to resize it ???
Is there a hack for 'large program memory, rather than 'big storage'? Or is it the same thing?
Thanks for any advice, M
Program memory and storage memory is shared- BigStorage releases the previously unusable storage, therefore increasing program and storage memory.
Just use the slider to dedicate more memory to programs...although this auto adjusts itself as and when required.
Thanks that makes BIG storage worth trying. For now I got a only around 35 MB free, with all apps in storage folder and sd-card. Trying to move even more executables from ram to storage or sd. Works fine uptill now.
Sincerely, M
Try memmaid as well to move dlls and executables from \windows\ to storage.

Will give a try, but apps like album and camera (both approximately 500K) saved me a lot of ram. I noticed that the default album and camera are in rom, so don't take any ram, though visibke in windiws folder.
Gr. M
BIG-storage try didn't work out. After the flash back of the changed (MKS method) rom, the device stays black and will only go into bootloader. This last saved my device I guess. I tried a restore with the original 1.13 shipped rom and got the device back. Unfortunately I lost my storage folder in this and ext-rom still exists. Is there a way to get the storage folder back? Even with ext-rom is acceptable.
Thnx byba very sad M.
Boot loader magician
OLTP, I had the same problem (only boot loader working and after reinstalling 113 storage gone ), I simply tried reinstalling again and got storage back. I also did a soft reset immediately after first boot after reinstalling 113, so before the programs in extended rom would install. This freed about 25MB working memory although extended rom is still -of course- not editable. I only installed the camera and ended up with a lean magician, and no GPRS bug.
Thnx Mozart,
Will give it another try. I think you mean you installed twice the 1.13 shipped rom? Cause I tried the SD flas twice with no result, a very dead and empty magician. I did do the soft-reset before the ext-rom would autoexec and that didn't help.
So olpnly question now is, did you do the SD flash twice or the upgrade with shipped 1.13 after the failed SD flash.
Thnx in advance, M
Ps. glad I am not the only one with this problem.
I tried the SD-method 3 times, then gave up, and then reinstalled T-Mobiles latest (1.13) rom. I had to use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to do this, by the way...., because the SD-flash had ruined the ID of my magician. It is still ruined, but at least my magician is alive and well.
Too bad, I tried the shipped rom for the third time now and still no storage. For the rest my magician is OK. Did not have to use the noid upgrade patch or anything like it. Though the shipped rom claims the device is empty. When I find a decent extracted rom I will try again.
Sincerely, M
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?
Hello,
I have an HTC Touch HD (Blackstone), and I find it very slow recently. May be it catched a virus ? (I downloaded many windows mobile applications ...).
I want to install a custum ROM (Dutty 1.7), my question : does this ROM contain Windows Mobile ? and will the installation of the ROM empty my internal memory and reinstall a fresh windows mobile ? do I need to format the internal memory first ?
thanks, I'm kind of confused, ROM, internal memory, is it the same ?
bye

You have to check the notes in the thread of the rom that you are flashing ( Dutty 1.7 ) All roms are WM 6.1 based (except a few)While most roms retain WM Office et al some do not., to lighten up the rom for people that never use it.
Flashing a new rom will wipe your phone clean of all apps and programs that are not in the new rom. So make sure you back up all data and apps that you want to keep. Because you will lose them.
If you are unsure about rom flashing, try just doing a hard reset. Quite often this is enough to remove the sluggishness. But again back up all data and apps and programs you want to keep, because a hard reset speeds up your phone by erasing everything to " out of the box " condition
OK, its clear for me now, thanks
