unable to unlock EXT ROM wm6 - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development

Why doesn't the cab file work...
It says sucess reboot now ... but after the reboot no ext rom.
I want to reflash L2 & Beast 0.5 update 1
because i still get my T-mobile splash screen...
I need to unlock the EXT some how, are there any other tools / reghacks / tips ?
I even flashed to wm5 because the EXT ROM UNLOCKER tool did work in the earlier days..
Thanks Guys

This Works for me every time, every ROM!
Extended rom is unlocked and read/write ready by registry settings:
HKLM\SYSTEM\STORAGEMAN\AUTOLOAD\TRUEFFS_DOC1
--> BOOTPHASE=2
HKLM\SYSTEM\STORAGEMAN\PROFILES\TRUEFFS_DOC1
--> FOLDER=XROM
--> MOUNTHIDDEN=0
Hope this helps, and be careful, the EXTENDED ROM usually has extra features or fixes that may be needed after a hard reset.

Help with Rom Upgrade

Sorry I am a bit comfused, I have the Apache from Bell Canada ROM 2.11.20 Updated: 04/04/06
Radio 1.14.00
1: Below shows the WM5 3.33 ROM which on the buzzdev says is just for Himalaya, is this true????
[HIMA] WM5 3.33a AKU23 Virgy build (16MB ramdisk 48MB pagepool 64MB program)
3.33a Buzz Virgy build with 16MB Ramdisk + 48MB Pagepool + 64MB Program Memory
2. I used the extended rom unlocker and it advised it was successfull, where do I go to be able to see/use the extended ROM??
1. There is a 3.3 ROM on ppcgeeks that should work on your device.
2. You should be able to see the extended ROM by using file explorer. Soft reset if you don't see it at first to see if it helps.

Thanks BW, nice to see you in xda-dev. as well. I will check ppcgeeks for the 3.3 ROM.
About the Extended ROM, is it called extended rom? because I dont see anything more than I usually see (device and storage card). The first time I had just ran the unlocker directly from the zip file.
This time I unzipped and ran the Apache unlocker, got success again but after reboot, still nothing different. Any idea why or do I need to use the 3.3 ROM before it will unlock?
Thanks BW got both the 3.3 ROM from PPCGEEKS and also was able to unlock the Extended ROM from a reg hack found their.
Glad you got it working.
Help!!
Hi everyone...
I try to make an update to my Alltel PPC6700 but apparently the ROM was not the indicated one and now single it remains ignited the light of the flash.
I have removed the battery, I have done reset, soft reset, hard reset and nothing…
I just got a black screen and the light of the flash all along ignited, and when I execute the RUU always says that there is no communication.
Somebody can help me?

Upgrade to latest WM5 from WM5

Ok I downloaded the file for my XDAIIs to upgrade it from an early version of WM5 to the latest one.
All went ok and it upgraded the device so all my programs were still there and working.
So the problem is there are duplicate icons in the program list (powerpoint and word ect..) but more importantly everytime I install new software they dont get added into the program list, but they are in the remove programs list and in some cases the programs will run (SOTI Pocket Controller only)
So what have I done wrong if anything or how do I get round it.
Thanks
normaly when people do an rom update they do a
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES
in the bootloader to get rid of registrys and data from the last rom
which can easy result in the issues you are facing
ok that seems fair enough... is there something I can do with the current install or will I need to upgrade again.
I have taken out the duplicate shortcuts that were in the programs list so its just a case of getting new programs to display....
Thanks
it's result is that of the old fasion hardreset
== everything back to whats in the rom
Ok just done it.... thanks for all your help
this is a xda2s and when I press the power button and press the reset button for upto 10 secs the device doesnt factory reset.... but I am sure it did before:
1) am I doing that right
2) how do I change the settings so it clears the reg ect... if I wanted to upgrade the device again.
Thanks

{To Fix} Another Lite Beta Rom based on Helmi_C aku 0.70

I have just finished a quick lite rom based on Helmi_ C AKU 0.70 rom which I find very stable even for a beta.
Everything Remains the Same apart from what I took out the rom which as follows:
1. Htc audio manager
2. HTC HOME Plugin
3. Office Mobile
4. OneNote Mobile
5. BT_FTP=1_2_30490_1
6. JbedJava_MIDP=0_0_20070726_1_1
7. HTC task manager
8. Voice Speed dial
9. WindowsLive
Rom is working fast with only one bug which i'm trying to fix which is:
After Flashing the rom and after configuration and reset the rom wont boot. But if you reset it before CONFIGURATION the rom works ok as normal. very strange.
I will try to fix it but I have got all the configuration cabs which can be install manual. These files are:
1. Configure_COMgr175.CAB
2. Configure_DDI171.CAB
3. Configure_GPS.CAB
4. Configure_Key.CAB
5. Configure_WLAN.CAB
6. WiFicountrycode.CAB
Total storage memory is 133.16 mb and free program is 74.15 mb
Cabs can be found in my thread which is located here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332438
Link>>> Rom has got more work to do will fix it as soon I got some more time.
Still a problem with configuration just soft rest before config starts.
Install config cabs below, enjoy
Thanks to POF and OLIPRO for all there hard work and tadzio with contributing in helping us with customising his tools so they can work for kaisers. And thanks to everyone who was helping with the kaiser project.
I will be making or modyfing roms as lite as possible which I think is the best way to go as programs gets updated regular.

helmi_c done a great job with the rom I didnt have to do nothing with it might strip it down further for who love ultr lite roms but not losing any stability of course
There is more work to be done on this rom
I realise there is more work to be done on this ROM. First I forgot and allowed the configuration to go on. So I had to reflash (forgot HR would do) and prevent installation of the configuration. I then installed the cabs posted, but device refused to boot after soft-reset
So I am back on Helmi's ROM.
Dutty, you must have removed the power icon in settings as I could not find it to see how much longer I could go on trying to revive my device without running out of power

same here I must have deleted something in the rom I also found huge battery drain my highly suspicions are one of the activation cabs is causing this.
Sorry guys my first rom didnt made it as yet will pull it down as i think its not stable.
Cheers
My apologies
I have taken down the rom found a huge battery drain in rom.
Well, I installed it and everything went okay. Installed the extra cabs and looked good. I wanted to try WisBar instead of the start menu app I'd been using before so installed their latest versions. Whoops that made a total mess of things, locked up at the end of install and still was locking up after soft resets. So had to hard reset and start all over again. I've not used this app before, so not sure if it was the ROM causing the problem or not.

Ah, okay, yeah I've continued to have problems with it, keeps locking up on me when doing a soft reset. So guess it wasn't wisbar that was the problem. I'll go back to the standard HTC Rom for now.
to moderators
Can you please close this thread as lite rom has been made by helmi so thus all support should be in that forum. thanks

Noverca HTC Rom - Vodafone Magic - TESTING

hi. it's just a port of daldroid's rom
daldroid said:
OK, I tried to prepare a working rom for you. No patches respect to my original mod for the "other Magics" except for APN list.
changed the kernel and wifi driver for your device, but I'm not able to test it.
So, please, flash this only if you are used to flash firmware and prepared to have a non working system.
I REPEAT. I made this ROM without testing if bootable or working on vodafone and likes Magics. Be prepared to reflash a previous working rom you already flashed and tested.

Sorry, I'm not able to test this version of the rom because it doesn't run on my TIM magic. Maybe something related to boot.img working for vodafone, maybe something related to fixups.
The original was only an almost vanilla mod of the original rom kindly dumped by joost39. (added adb shell root and disabled rom secure)
Sorry for asking, but did you wipe your existing data and cache partitions when switching from your former rom?
If bugs are confirmed I could try to generate an image as similar to the original as I can (I'll have to change the kernel and wifi, however, but the problems you are reporting don't appear related to HW support in the kernel).
If you didn't wipe, try a wipe of the data and let us know.
Bye

I've made the process of "apply updates" two times (both of them wiping first).
I'll try to format the sd card and start the process again.
I think it's something related with the HTC Dialer.

In order to debug the problem with contacts ppl reported, I made the image as much like to the original as possible.
I suppose you can clear conf settings in menu->settings->applications
or just copy system/customize/CID/default.xml from the update.zip
adb remount
adb push ....
reboot and verify if all the languages are unlocked.
Or wait for the next rom image ;-)

Storage memory corrupted with WM 6.5

Hi,
I've got a Touch Cruise that I've flashed several times three days ago.
First I've done the hardSPL flash, CID unlock and SIM unlock.
After this I've flashed with a 6.1 rom (M-Amine 2.0) but I was seaking for a more "finger-friendly" UI so I've tried Kostas's C2 rom.
It's after flashing with Kostas's C2 rom that the problem first appeared. After a hour I could'nt launch any software. As File Explorer was already executing, I tried to launch exe files directly, but there were no more files in phone storage memory.
I softreset the device and it failed to boot (everlasting windows starting logo).
I've hardreseted the device and it booted successfully.
So I flashed the device with pcarvalho eXtreme :
pcarvalho eXtreme (3.60.WM65X) ROM 3.19 R0 Release (101MB RAM) [23557] (non3D) [16-Apr] (fixed)
It flash well, run for two or three hours and I noticied that my ringtones mysteriously changed to the default one. Using the File Explorer I checked the content of storage memory and it was all corrupted. Missing folders, files with non-alphanumeric names in root folder...
After a hard-reset my phone works well.
Things I've done after each installation : Contact+sms restore using PPCPimBackup, TomTom installation (7.918.xxx)
My Rom :
OS Version : 5.2.23557
Radio Version : 1.59.46.12
Anybody knows where can it come from ?
Thanks

it can be a many number of things...but you can start by check the card first...every time you go from one rom to another check it and save things (important ones)
now you can only try to get things back with getdataback (always worked with me)...
cheers
Thanks for the answer. It's not my storage card that lose data but phones internal storage memory.
It happened again just now, while installing a cab file.
I've got the impression that it's linked to cab installer since the other times I have installed a CAB to (tomtom) but it could be the fact that cab installer is writing data on defective memory.
Is there a way to test the internal storage memory in order to check if the problem is hardware ?
Finally it happened again, without cab install, without any manipulation after the hard reset.
I switched back to M-Amine 2.0 (WM 6.1) and it seems to have resolved the problem.
It's like the file system driver used in windows mobile 6.5 don't works well with my phone, wich can explain the file renaming, file disappearance, directory loss etc...
I would like to have a solution to switch back to WM 6.5 and a more recent version of HTC applications, so if anybody have any idea where can it come from...
Sorry to post three messages in a row, but there may be a thing I misunderstood.
In Pcarvalho rom thread I've seen this :
There seem to be HR and MC losing data issues with some roms, so i recommend flashing a htc original rom and only then this one, before proceeding as always make a backup of all data before attempting to use this rom...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But I don't know what HR and MC stands for here.... Is this concerning only the Storage Card or phone's Internal memory can also be problematic ?
I may have to flash back to an official rom before try again a WM 6.5 rom.
The problem have disappeared since I'm back to a WM 6.1 rom

i've been trying with android while waiting for pcarvalho next release. i am using task29 and radio.nbh to clean up the rom. what i noticed is that ( and i believe) task29 does not really clean the ROM, because after flashing many times android ( and i always use Task29, then flash android rom) the problem that i have ( lock SD card and its r/o status) did not disappear. i've been switching from rom to rom to rom (different build) , trying to elimante the problem. at last i flash back pcarvalho's rom back, than task29, than back to android. the problem solve. i donno may be because task29 only perform quick format instead of full format. the problem stays. i think ( maybe i am wrong) the bigger the size of the rom file is better as it rewrite the whole rom instead of small section of rom.
i guess...
It's surely something like this, i've just flashed with an official rom and flashed with pcarvalho's one and this time it works like a charm. (by the way, thanks to all cookers for their works).
So the problem is resolved, I had misunderstood the problem of data loss as it does not affect only the storage card data but also phone's internal storage memory.
Thanks to all.
