Installation help

I am trying to install nghianga's rom, but anytime the installation ends normal (seems to), but the S200 only ends up in bootloader mode and whatever I try, it doesn't change. I have read a few posts about this problem, but I did't find any solution.
I know that I am not an experienced Prophet user, but I would like to have some installation help with this. Also I can't find the NB_Update_nghianga rom, maybe it works better with this one.
thx

The same for me.... please can help us?

You MUST downgrade to a relevant v2.2 ROM first, then upgrade
JD

Sorry JD, I tried this too, no success!

Maybe try going back to a 2.2 and try then to install smart1's Excellent clean rom and see if this works, then think about the other rom?
JD

Thanks JD. I managed to install smart1 clean rom, bt this has some problems for me. I posted a message a few minutes ago in the large wm6 thread.
This is my post:
I installed this rom, since it is the only wm6 rom that I can install. I installed this rom starting from a factory released 2.20 rom. Here are a few problems.
1) error message that timewizard.exe can't be started, i csan't find any relation pointing to this app
2) IRDA (infrared) does not work, same problem as in the aku 3.3.b1 jesterz rom
3) Photocontacts pro does not work properly
4) I can add my BT headset, bt it doesn;t work with my phone
5) SMS backp doesn't work ( also not in aku 3.3 b1)
6) a number of other apps don't work (calendar+ for instance).
7) Sync with outlook doesn't work, even more after my first try to sync, all contacts, phone history and speed dial gone!
Do we have to wait for a better rom or has anyone found soltions?

Don't forget this is a WM6 file, there will be a lot of programs that do not run correctly, this is not a problem of the rom, but more a problem of the software you are trying to install. Try to play with the ROM clean after a hard reset and install a little at a time

Hi JD, I nderstand the WM6 issue, but a number of problems are really bgging me:
1) sync doesn't work and even more erased everything on my device
2) IR does not work, I bought a Prophet to se IR
3) when I tried to add a number in speed dial I receive a message that there is not enough memory available!
4) etc.
thx anyway for your response

No new OS after flashing.

Hi, I apologize for probably asking something that's been asked before (note: I've tried to find the answer but no luck) but I'm a little confused.
I've flashed a downloaded ROM a few times but the original OS keeps coming up.
I've got a IMate KJam and would like to flash WM6 on it. I'll detail what's I've done.
1. I've run lokiwiz and seleced 'C' to do the CID unlock, seems to have worked (some locked and unlocked files got generated).
2. I've downloaded nbd.v7.4 and unpacked it.
3. I've run the standard ROMUpdateUtility Wizard that same in the zip file but it gave me "ERROR [300] : INVALID UPDATE TOOL"
4. I downloaded ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.zip and ran the exe that was in the zip file, the good news is that the KJam resets to 'rainbow' mode and seems to update the flash - bar goes from 0-100% then resets.
Once reset the OS is the original WM5 that came with the KJam.
What did I miss? Again I'm sorry is this is answered elsewhere, I've just not been able to find a solution myself.
Thanks.

step 1. Read more carefully the sticky post

You're not unlocked. You actually skipped the first and very important step of flashing back to an older ROM to get your IPL/SPL to an earlier version.
Follow these instructions VERY carefully and don't skip over any parts at all. Read through it once or twice before starting any of the steps.
(these instructions are for G3 devices, for G4, go here)
Good luck!

Thanks for the help guys.I'm managed to come right with the ShellTools app.
The only problem I've had with WM6 is that when I click on the contacts soft button (or click it from the menu) it starts loading then disappears. I can't access it at all. Everything else seems fine though. Any ideas?

I remember that fault occurring with some of the roms though I dont specifically remember which rom, possibly some of the 318 builds. From memory I fixed this by doing another hard reset.

Thanks for al the assistance. I've flashed the XDA Mobile 6 Release 2a and am very happy.
WM6 has much much better wireless lan support. With the stock standard wm5 my kjam wouldn't connect to my WAP2 configured network, now it work! Great job on packing the Roms guys.
On the matter of the the contact not appearing / working. The following would happen: Once WM6 was flashed, and a hard reset done the usual process of initialization took place, which included screen alignment, time and time zone configuration, setting of a password and then the part that seemed to be causing the problems, the setting up for a email account/messageing. I on numerous occations skipped the setting up for email as I won't do email on the device. Once 'botted' the device would work fine with the new ROM the only problem would be that when I pressed the 'contacts' soft key or selected it from the menu the contact 'application' would seen to start up but die or6 not appear. This means that the title/top bar would display the title of the contact application but would in a fraction of a second die / abort / crash.
I assume that the email / messaging part of the hardboot startup sets up something that is required for the contacts application. Just for reference I just setup the email/messaging details (name, email address, pop server, username & password). After setup I didn't check email once, I then just deleted the email account setup and the contacts app is still working.
For newbees, I recommend the ShellTool applications, it allowed a new Wizard owner and newbee rom flasher to get a new rom flashed very easlily. My Wizard was a G4 with the 'recent' IPL/ISL bits so I can't speak for G3 users.
Nice one guys, great forum. I'm verry happy with my WM6 kjam.

Always bootloader screen

Hi, I've a vodefone v1240 (HTC Tornado), i've tried to flash wm6 flash to it... but... i haven't super cid unlock... the flash is ok but phone always star in muticolor screen (botloader screen), i've tried to flash a lot of flashes but always get invalid vendor id or "only upgrade"... i've tried too with TyphoonNbfTool to edit nbf and change vendor id.. but always get the same mensaje ("invalid vendor id" or "only upgrade")...
How can i recover my phone? :S
Thanks
Sendoa

Determine your original CID first, to do this type:
Code:

into mtty or teratermpro and paste the output in the thread

That is your original CID
Then save the nbf and flash it to your device

done but...
Hi, i've done but... always get a "only upgrade"... only let me to reflash wm6 flash.. but it always return to bootloader screen :S what am i doing wrong? :S

Hey Phil, Thanks very much for the update ! Your hard work is much appreciated here !!

Me too
I'm having the same problem as Sendoa. I flashed the WM6 ROM to my 8310but after 100% completion, the phone re-started in bootloader mode.
I can flash it again with the WM6 but the same thing happens each time (bootloader mode). I've tried to flash with several other ROMs but each time I get the "Invalid Vendor ID" error before flashing begins.
I've tried the Typhoonnbftool tool to change the header as suggested earlier in this thread but without any success. My CID is 'DNG_0501'. I'm still stuck in bootloader mode.
I'd appreciate any assistance.
Thanks,
Straker.

Sorted
Sorted. Found another ROM (the fifth I've tried) that would flash without the 'Invalid Vendor' message. It let me get back to a standard WM5 setup.

Solved
Thanks to all
I flash it with a cingular flash with version changed to 79.79.79.79 and operator changed to VODA0504, and work again.. then i've unlock the cid and flash wm6 flash and it is working with it
Thanks again

Wow, that's cool, means I can flash my phone to WM6 without voiding my warranty ( I still got 5 months left )

Similar problem
I've used Typhoonnbftool to change header, but the resulting file is only ever 1kb or smaller! What am I doing wrong?

Small nbf
Straker,
Where did you get the rom that worked?

strange messages after upgrade to WM6.1 3.2 thingonaspring.5.2.1933.18533.REALVGA

Hi,
I've just upgraded my mda pro to wm6.1, specifically 3.2 thingonaspring.5.2.1933.18533.REALVGA
On start up or reboot, I get two pop up box errors.
ssdamon.exe
"THE FILE "SDDAEMON" CANNOT BE OPENED. eITHER IT IS NOT SIGNED WITH A TRUSTED CERTIFICATE, OR ONE OF ITS COMPONENTS CANNOT BE FOUND.IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, TRY REINSTALLING OR RESTORING THIS FILE"
elatepushservice.exe
The file elatepushservice.exe can not be opened .....
I've tried reflashing and cold reboots, but its still the same. The other functions work fine as far as I can tell.
Also I think the mda pro has retained some of my old settings, i.e. it has remembered the outgoing call duration, even after the rom upgrade ! Is there a way of clearing this info ??
Can any one help ?
Thanks
fs

Try finding the cab "sdkcerts.cab" to disable certificate checks and try it else reflash the rom once again and try.
fyi, the rom you're flashing is a WM6.0 build and NOT wm6.1

Fix?
Had the same issue, but it was related to a file that was removed from the windows directory search the ROM thread I think the file was something like olce?.dll to confirm its the same issue try installing isilo and see if the same error happens.

Hi guys where is Thingonaprings 6.1 ROM I didn't relise he'd released on?

No, he’s just confused between WM 6.0 and WM 6.1 it did take me a while to realize I am not superman too.

Hi,
Just remove sddaemon.lnk from windows/startup folder.
(when in doubt, just paste this file elsewhere)
greetings,

I am getting the same thing. None of these "fixes" has any effect whatever. I thought this was a thread full of knowledgeable persons. Why all the stab-in-the-dark answers? Doesn't anybody know what REALLY causes this trouble?

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.
