I have been experiencing a very slow phone with thousands of files (many copies of some) in the windows folder. I have 5 copies of some files!! i need help deleting the files out of my windows folder because i think that's what slowing myphone done. I have changed the rom thousands of times from Black diamond 3.1 to tmobile 2.26 to TNT 5.0 to tmobile 2.26 again, and now im back at TNT 5.0 professional.
Please help me and my phone please!
This is due to some software you installed (such as unpactched HTC Home Plugin, HTC Photo Album etc).
Normally deleting the files or uninstalled the affected software will not restore the system to normal speed. So take note of what you have installed, and avoid using that after hard reset.
p.s. You don't need to flash the phone with another ROM, just hard reset is enough.
sorry, im trying to find the hard-reset tutorial, but it's actually hard! can you help me out plz.
does the phone have to have the tmobile 2.26 rom when i hard reset? I tried it with the TNT 5.0 and it failed.
It says:
Format Partition FAT
Format Failed
ive tried it with the TNT rom, the tmobile rom, and even with my sdcard in it. please help, thanks.
Refer to this post to get it fixed.

yesterday, I flashed my wizard ipl&spl to 3.08 and flashed the rom wizflo 2D again, then bad things occurred, some shortcuts in the programs cannot be opened ,and it displayed " (The file battleship cannot be opened with a trusted certificate,or one of its component cannot be found.If the problem persists,try reinstalling or restoring this file.) " but some of the "xxx.exe" software can only be opened in SDcard. Then i flashed the rom back to Mobile 5.0 but the problem still persisted . please help , Thank you very much !~~~~
try flashing the 2.26 ipl spl.
it could be that the programs you installed to the storage card may not work anymore because they do not have the nessesary registry entries. some programs that get installed to storage card have a few files installed on to device. if those files and reg entries are no longer there, then the app will not function.
windows mobile 5 has security enabled for unsigned apps. most of the roms that we cook have a package called "security off" which is incorporated in to the rom one way or the other.
If this is not the issue, then post more details.

I'm really appreciate for your help, I have just flashed 2.26 SPL&IPL and hardreset, but problem was not solved . for instance" after flashed 2.26 spl , i again installed the Xtra Games.CAB(which i download from CR86 Touch HD Expansion_Pack_02) into device(not sdcard), but the battleship still cannot be opened . the "xxx.exe"(not .CAB) software such as " HandDee.GTuner.v1.2.1,, PhoenixStudio.1.1" which I download from web are all registered. and I put them in sdcard and send shortcut to programs, they all worked normally before yesterday. And yesterday after the problem occurred , I have tried format the SDcard and first flashed the OS back to TNT 1933 then flashed back to windows mobile 5 custom-ruu-wizard-1050412-wwe-101-11210wwe.. The problem was all persisted..... now i don't konw what to do & so worried...
Thanks you very much S.V.I

Ha ha.....
This morning, when i used Lokiwiz02 to unlock my wizard before flashing rom, I noticed an error display when CID unlocking,and I unlocked again, it still displayed the error, then I searched Lokiwiz03a at wiki.xda http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_Unlock_Sim
then its unlocked correctly,and i flashed the OS again, Finally the shortcut problem didn't exist, it works allright now!
recommend a good RMVB Plugin for Windows Media Player, This Plugin was extracted from N800, I download it from here http://www.aray.cn/archives/2306 and tested, it works good !

Hi Guys,
I am in a serious fix ! I downloaded WM 6.5 ROM from this site about 3 months ago & installed it on my HTC Touch Pro. It worked like a charm...until this Morning. It now says " This concludes the beta test of this software release." etc....I can't connect to my phone via USB(activesync), thus I can't reload any Software onto it. I tried to Hard Reset...but the phone just restarts & goes back to this message...Is there any way of getting a ROM installed on this phone ? Any help will be greatly appreciated !
Thanks~
do you have an sd card if so have you tryed that method ?
Haha, no i don't have an SD card, but i solved my problem. I went to bootlog.. somehow XD. I tried many different methods, but i eventually found one that worked. Then i just Installed a new ROM. Problem solved ^^.
same problem here - would be nice if developers mention that their software expires
will now try to flash new rom too
I have the same issue - I have an Acer neotouch and is now bricked due to expiration of windows. How do I flash another rom or re-load factoy rom? I cannot get my phone to connect to my PC.
same problem!
I have the same problem, this night @ 00:00 it expired.
I have very valuable text files in my phone memory, really sucks.
I really need this back for my job.. Has anyone an idea of recovering the data without flashing a new rom?
And if i flash a new rom, i suppose all data @ phone memory will be lost?
Greatings Bouke
I also have this problem. It seems pretty widespread
That's because it's May 1st everywhere, lol.
This is why you didn't want to flash (or cook) a rom with the beta version of Office 2010. Now, there's a non-time-bombed version available, and you'll need to upgrade to it. A savvy flasher will also always advance the date on a build by a few years immediately after flashing, just to see if there is a time-bomb built in. There's no one to blame but yourself if you didn't do it.
Thats great Farmer Ted and very smug of you...however we may not all be as experienced as you and are looking for a way to resolve this issue.
ROM expired
Can we please get the steps to over come this error.
Please.....Please.....Please....

Don't get mad at me. The moment you decide to flash a custom rom to your phone, you have to take responsibility for anything and everything that happens to it. Custom roms don't come with warranties. This isn't the first time that raphael roms have expired due to time-bombs. Almost all of Monx's roms went kaplooey over a year ago. Everyone knew that office mobile 2010 was beta (and if you didn't, it's your fault). It says so right on the download on windows marketplace, and it says it would expire in the spring of 2010. A month ago, many users received messages that their roms would expire in 30 days, and there were threads about it all over the place. It shouldn't be a surprise that the early rom builds that came out with it had a hard expiration date. The problem is that the time-bomb in the early builds was in the Office package, which no one knows how to remove, whereas in the more recent builds the time-bomb is in shell, which is easily patched.
Solution that worked:
Step 1. Turn Off your phone
Step 2. Turn on keeping the Power On button + Low Volume Key pressed untill you see a tricolor display showing current ROM details
Step 3. Connect the phone to PC using USB and flash using any ROM of your choice
Note: This will erase all the data on the phone.
Anyone found a way to backup the data on the phone?
It will run some programs (Sense, some services, some apps accessible via Sense - all accessible for short times by locking, then unlocking the phone) but not connect with Activesync.
Autostart from SD does not seem to work (don't have a known working app to compare)
All I'm missing now is a way to access the internal storage.
Any ideas?
can u still add app shortcuts to sense?

unfortunately nothing from the start menu or sense home links will work.
just some that are started directly from sense, but not cookie editor for example.
Winmo 6.5 Rom
Can anyone tell me how to get the download to upgrade my 6.1 to 6.5 on my touch pro. Thanks
WM 6.5 ROM expired
Hi Everybody,
I succeeded to flash my Samsung Omnia keeping my data under /My Storage. But all the other data lost. Here is what I have done:
1. Hard Reset: date will be set back to 20080101 (data under My Documents will be lost)
2. Flash new ROM using Samsung Modem Driver. I suggest to use ROMs from pdafanclub.com
3. I tried to restore my data/settings using Spb Backup, but many applications did not worked because of the new ROM, and my device froze continuously.
Good luck!
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.
I have a TP2 I got from Vodafone, pre loaded with Windows Mobile 6.5 Pro (5.2.21854 build 21854.5.0.80), but would like to change or at least try Android. Is there an image (cab) I can download and install.
My CPU is QUALCOMM(R) 7200A. ROM version 1.86.161.0 (67102) WWE
CAN you even? :S
You would have to have a custom ROM built for your phone unless there is someone else out there with the exact same model of phone that is running Android. That is why there are so many people with newer models of phones, like the Kyocera Zio that can not upgrade to FROYO or Eclair. They have to wait for the ROM to be built. (At least that is my understanding)
search for xdandroid.

I am trying Boushh Rhobuntu Shortcut Dinik.cab but kept getting stuck with booting. Says it can't find the "default.txt" script. To get it going I refreashed my HTC by clearing the memory and going back to scratch. Then before I did ANYTHING else I copied over the files and folders from my Laptop to the SD Card. Restart and boot. WOrked a treat.
Then went to XDANDROID and copied over the cab file to the SD Card and installed from the cab. Almost worked. Tried deleting the data file and re installing.... DId several times, until I managed to get it going with Project Android 2.2Blazin.092810
Only two major issues!!!
There is no sound to the phone or alarms and notification. The ONLY option is SILENT and
I think this may be related, it states that there is no SD card installed, which is less than honest as the system was installed and booted from the card! ANd I think that MAYBE where the sound files are that causes the SILENT only mode above.
Any helpers, welcome
Hi all, I am about to upgrade my fathers Touch Pro (EU version) from the stock WM 6.1 Fr to Taels 6.5 version.
Nevertheless I need help on 3 very important questions, and that is why I come to you.
I have already installed the HSLP so that part is done, and I have used PIM backup for the contacts, sms, calendar, email and logs.
1) So the question is, will a PIM backup done in WM6.1 be able to restore everything in WM6.5 or will there be some incompatibility issues?
2) As you might know TAEL ROM is an English ROM, but the Touch Pro has an AZERTY keyboard. Is there a way to correctly map ALL the hardware keys on the phone? If yes, how?
3) Finally, if my father does not like the phone the way it is, can I go to the HTC website and download the latest official WM6.1 ROM for the phone and just flash it even with the HSPL on. I don't really need to remove it as it is not in the guarantee any more, but I would like to know if I need to do something to be able to flash the old ROM in.
Thank you all for your help.
Please urgent answers, as I am supposed to do everything today.
1. In my experience, pim back up could be buggy with 6.5. It's been a while since I used it (probably 1.5 yrs), but I highly recommend backing up in multiple ways. Do the pimbackup, also just copy pim.vol to the sd card (that's the method I use). If you have sk tools, use it to backup the pim info. You can also install myphone (or just windows live) and back it up that way. Seriously, you can't have too many backups, in case of a snafu.
To restore pim.vol, right after the flash copy it (don't move it, copy it) with total commander back to the device root and then immediately do a soft reset. I don't know why, but sometimes it doesn't update properly if you screw around for a while before resetting the device. Or, just restore with pimbackup. It will probably be slow.
2. Dunno.
3. Yes, you can flash whatever you want with hard spl. Don't bother over-writing it with the stock spl if you decide to go back to stock (unless it's for warranty reasons).
Hi Farmer Ted, thanks for your responses.
I've done the procedure yesterday and I can answer my questions if anyone has them too.
1) So regarding the first one, PIM backup will recover all your contacts, logs, mms and sms. I have had an error when it came to e-mail, but you can configure that anyway and through imap4 you should not loose any.
2) The second response was given by some people already on XDA, and that is to go to the regedit of the phone. Thankfully tael had one already pre-installed and now I'll just copy paste what I've found:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\CurLang
change the value in hex 40C
Then save the changes and reboot the phone.
Thankfully all the fn keys work as intended.
PS: The software keyboard will not change unless you install a different one on it.
Regarding my last question, I still did not fully understand the answer. If I go to HTC, download the latest official ROM for the phone, can I flash it straight away, even though I have HSPL 1.9 olex in the phone?
Note: I don't need to remove it for warranty reasons, but I don't want to brick the phone by having it on when installing the official WM6.1 release.
Thanks for all your help so far.
Just so you know, I have flashed the stock ROM after I downloaded it from the HTC support site and have not experienced any issues without having to flash stock spl
Thank you very much (+1 thank), this information was very useful to me.
