Lost 200MB flash Rom after upgrading - General Topics

All experts,
Please help me for my (P3600i - IPL-Trin100, SPL-3.00.708.9, CPU-Samsung 500Mhz, 256MB flash ROM and 64MB RAM) that I flashed successfully with hardSPL 3.10 Oplira.
However after completed the [P3600i] Mary v3.7 - SuperLite from WM6.0 to WM6.1 upgraded, I found that there is only 50MB flash ROM left on my rom, It missed about 200MB flash ROM and 64MB RAM remained.
So I tried to flash back WM6.0 but it is same as 50MB flash ROM left and 64MB RAM.
Can anyone help me how to recover 200MB flash ROM?
I have seen lots forum regarding this case for a couple day but found nothing.
Best regards

You lost the "free space" of ROM. Am I correct? If so, I think you are fine.

yes
do you know how to recover it ?

You can't "recover" free space of ROM Memory and RAM. It always vary depending on whichever ROM you flashed. Most very likely, you flashed a ROM that has a lot of pre-installed programs. These programs will take up a lot of space in your internal memory.
I suggest flashing to a different ROM that takes little space.

thank you for your advise

New Qtek S100 - A few clarifications needed

Hi,
I've just got a new S100 and I've got a few questions. Let me first explain at what state I am now. I got a french s100 shipped. So I updated it to WWE with the exe method and no_ID just to get it into english.
Now I would like to go for the mksbigstorage thing. I've read a lot of post on it but I would like a few clarifications.
1. Can you perform big storage through exe method or only by flashing from sd card?
2. Will I have a problem with flashing because my qtek was originally french?
3. What is the difference between exe method and flashing? Does one method do more than the other?
4. Why do I have to take the first 400 or so bytes from my own rom? Does this have to be the original french one (didn't back that one up) or can I take the one that on it now?
5. If I get stuck anywhere and my device goes dead. Is it then still always possible to upgrade the rom through the exe method to get it back to original? Or could this give problems with storage and ext_rom?
6. Is there a way to make your own rom? Are there tools for prepping files for the exe method?
7. Can someone explain me the memory devision of the qtek? I know 64 mb rom and 64 mb ram. But what get installed where? Is the ext_rom and storage in rom or ram? If you see on the memory screen storage and programs is this all ram?
8. I would like to keep as much ram free as possible. If ext_rom and storage are in ram would it be an option to not have ext_rom and have storage on sd card. If so how can one do that?
9. In my ext_rom there is tpenable and tpdisable, are these things used to specify where software gets installed? I've installed a few things and I think that they are eating up my ram.
I know these are a lot of questions but answers to these would help me understand my qtek better and help me to make a decision on what I'm going to do next.
Thanks,
Stekke.

confused about mem alloc. in wm2k5

hi there,
i've been looking for info. about upgrading himalaya to wm2k5 on this forum for days and i found there are several versions of the wm2k5 rom.
does it mean that wm2005 has NO memory (RAM) allocation setting so the amout of memory used to run programs is decided ONLY by (thus cannot be changed like wm2k3) the ROM being used?
but what if someone on 128Mb version found his 30M storage is not enough and he wants a 32M ramdisk?
the only way change it is to re-flash a different rom and hard-reset the device?

How much space required to flash a WM6 ROM?

I have an XDA Mini S with no additional space (didn't buy a mini-sd card for it). In System->Memory->Storage it says I have 47.46 MB total. Is that OK for flashing WM6 on it. Btw, it should have 64MB, I'm not sure why it says 47.46 MB (probably because it doesn't add the space occupied by the ROM?).
Thanky you
You don't need additional space, as the ROM is flashed to your Flash ROM directly.
The missing space is due to Extension ROM (10MB), some files and database copied during first cold start, and the applications installed from Extension ROM on first cold start.
and you´ll loose everything stored on your wizard during flashing process! so backup your contacts ...

Possible to flash Hyperdragon on Artemis

Hey, I would like to flash this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2263996#post2263996
To my artemis, is that possible by any means??
Oh and by the way if there is a rom that has about 100mb of memory, where as my artemis currently has about 50mb of memory. After flashing that rom will I have the 100mb of memory??
erm you cannot flash a ROM designed for different device, just as you cannot use iphone's OS on Windows Mobile or vice versa
ok thank you

[Q] Internel storage 1gb after flashing Pound Rom

First of all, I have SHW-M250S, which is made in Korea, and I was able to install Pound Rom. (Current Version is 4.1.2)
I did everything what I had to do. Installed CWM recovery, 10.2 kernel that was mentioned in the post, downloaded Pound Rom 4.4 Cyanogenmod and installed it with the help of CWM recovery version 6.0.4.5. So, It worked well. Perfect. But I noticed that the internel storage size became 1gb total. (Normally it is 11gb total) Everything inside was wiped up, of course. Well, I was shcocked up so I restored my device to stock rom. Internel size came back to 11gb total. After that, I installed Pound Rom again, and again, my device shows that it only has 1gb of internel memory total. What should I do? I used diffrent kernels, wiped data and cache several times, but it doesn't work. Is it something wrong with the ROM? please, tell me how to solve this.
