Device doesn't boot - How to know the ROM version ? - General Questions and Answers

I'll probably be obliged to make a hard reset because of a boot problem. WM6.0 is installed on the device, but I'm not sure that the ROM is WM6.0.
In fact, the device is a HTC Herald (purchased recently with a very low price because this is the end of the product) and I'm not sure that the ROM is WM6 because of the age of this product.
Is it possible to have a device with WM6 installed and the ROM with WM5 ?
Because, in that case, I'll get WM5 after the reset... ! And I have no disc with WM6.

If you have WM6 on installed a hard reset will not bring you back to WM5. A hard reset restores the installed ROM to its original settings. If this device has been upgraded to WM6 a hard reset will not reset your OS to WM5.

Hard reset with same OS and see if that way corrects the problem, then you will be able to see the ROM version, if not try another one
Goo luck,

That's Ok for the WM version
I got the WM6.0 after the hard reset, but I didn't remember how to do to modify the file shellres.dll.0409.mui : I can't change the read-only property.
I'm creating a new question...

use Resco Explorer (not freeware) or Total CommanderCE (freeware)
Resco Explorer :

Total CommanderCE :

I'm using Total Commander but ...
... I cannot change the property

search the forum for shellres.dll.0409.mui, then just cab it up and install it back in to ur device

Himalaya Craziness, Help Apreciated ;-)

Evening all, well do i have a problem or do i have a problem! *or im just being stupid! lol*
i have an xda2 *himalaya* and was shipped with win mobile 2003
upgraded it to windows mobile 2005 *1.60c wwe* 128mb ram version
used the extended rom unlocker and the himalaya DOC tool to merge the extended rom with the storage to increase the main device storage space.
basicly messed around with it a bit and decided i wanted to hard reset it and run it nice and clean from scratch.
pressed the reset button at the bottom, with the power button, and it booted up as it was without hard resetting :?:
took the battery and sim out for a whole week to let it blank out and still no hard reset.
thought to myself, "i know! ill downgrade it to 2003 again, wiping the phone clean and then install 2005 again then it will be nice and clean*
did that and when i reformatted with 2005 the damn thing was back to when it was before i instaled 2003!!!!!!! *contacts, all installed programs, wallpapers, ringtones the lot!...
i cannot hard reset my device in any way at all!!, even totally formatting it, any ideas at all, i wanna put it back to a nice fresh install of 2005!!!
any help would be greatly appreciated ;-)
HOW TO RUN IT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Install ExtendedROM Unlocker.
2. UNHIDE and UNLOCK your ExtendedROM.
3. Run the Hima_DOC_Tool_1.0.exe on your device.
4. Hardreset your device

Intent MIDP manager problems

Hi! I have a T-Mobile SDA and I deleted some files which were under Application Data -> TAO. I have an I-mate ROM installed (2.6 something)
Needless to say, the Java midlets i had installed (Opera mini and Gmail) do not work anymore. What's worse is that I cant reinstall them. Every time i try to, I get an error message (invalid java archive).
Any ideas besides hard reseting the phone? Maybe someone can email me the folder on their phone?
Many thanks!
I've got an Imate Rom on my tmobile sda as well, let me know what files you need . . . or which ones you have so I can send the others.
I am using an Orange C600 ROM on my Vodafone V1240, i guess it has the same files on that folder, try this attched file..
I have this same frickin problem with a stock SDA. THE TAO manager blows hard

i600 WM6.1 (NOKser) CAB install problem

After updating to this (WM6.1 Std. 5.2.1238.19208) cooked ROM, everything looking good.
But most of my installation CABs wont install because of "Installation was unsuccessful" error. Ive tried app unlocks with about 3 variations of Security/Policies settings, without success.
Have somebody the same complication or even solution?
Thanks in advance for any information.
I have no such problem. Today I installed all my programs from cab-files without any problems.
Try reinstall WM6.1 and use SDA Aplication Unlock.
actually, there is no problem. But when I wanna install .Net CF 3.5, yes there is a problem. I can't install it, err msg: please close other application, maximum the storage capacity. I just flash the rom and nothing was installed yet, so it totally empty (the storage). But when I install the .Net CF 2.0, it works. Does anyone have the same problem?
Why do you install .Net Framework 3.5? WM6.1 already has it.
hehehehe... shame of me... I don't know that... but thanks for telling.. , so looks like I have to uninstall the .NET CF 2.0..? Right?
I think it's better to do Hard Reset.
Maybe most 6.1 do, but my touch pro wm 6.1 came with net 2.0 and i have to install 3.5 after a hard reset. I install it then do the reg edit found here: http://pocketnow.com/how-to/tutorial-how-to-upgrade-to-microsoft-net-compact-framework-35
"(HKLM\Software\Microsoft\.NETCompactFramework) Change the DWord value of 3.5.7283.00 from 0 to 1 (thus enabling it) and all the other values (i.e.: 2.0.7045.00) from 1 to 0 (thus disabling it/them)."
As for the not being able to install a cab... I am having a similar problem.
I cannot install ANY cab. There is no programs in the uninstall programs list. (There should be around 10 programs there?!?) AND I cant seem to delete any files (get a access denied error) all I have tried to delete so far is a couple of cab files) Tried with File Explorer and Total Commander.
Does anyone have any Ideas??
Just did a hard reset. installed: task manager, advanced config, clean ram, FIM(facebook program), google maps, HTC GPS tool, phm regedit, Total commander, touch in call screen tweek,, and pocket digital clock. (above in no order) The last program I installed was Clean ram. I'm no expert but I do know my way around WM and I am totally lost on this. Is there anyway to fix this without another Hard Reset??
edit: Just gonna do a hard reset. I'll report back if I have this problem again. *sigh*
use sda unlock and you can install all you want

I.ve got new information. In the Windows directory there's a file called TTN.cab.
This file seems to be "read only and system.
I.ve try to change the attributes with TotalCommander but that won't work.
Can't delete the file because of the attributes. I've serch the registry for TomTom entrancesbut couldt't find one either Please is there somebody who can help me.
Total Commander clearly shows it's part of the ROM, and I'm afraid you won't be able to remove it.

Ok if that's true why can't i install ie again.
Do i maybe have to upgrade TomTom tot a newer version because the version i have won't install either anymore. By the way the version i got was installed before the Upgrade to WM 6.1
Hard reset will install all original software (including TomTom), but will also delete all your data and non-ROM software, so do backup first.
I don't use TomTom, so I don't know if upgrade is possible.
