Hi All,
I am meddling with my ext rom. I am setting it to auto install s/w upon hard reset. it works fine. I found out that when i hard reset the pda and phone volume is set to half. How do i make it to full ? Also, i would like to know
how do i move some files to some other folders. eg: ringtones, etc.

I have followed the WIKI and successfully unlocked and unhidden the ExtRom however I cannot get the Partition tool to work. Each time I get the message:-
FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE failed.
I have noticed several posts on this but no solution or explanation as to cause.
I have SPVM200, running 2003SE current ROM 1.40.
Any ideas how to solve, at the moment I am contemplating installing WM5 with just the 43M of memory rather than 60M and seeing what happens, pending a solution.
I have tried hard reset, followed by unhide, soft reset, unlock and repart but no joy.
An update! I decided to leave the ExtRom size as is (43Mb), at least it may make it easier if I downgrade.
I upgraded and now the device is really really really really slow, I have turned off all the sounds and notifications, and that sped up the 20secs to see the Start menu to about 2 secs, however in Phone mode it still takes about 10 secs to 'think about' each entered digit, meaning more than a minute to enter a single phone number....not good at all.
Anyone any thoughts on what is going wrong? I have seen many posts on the upgrade, some mentioning a slight slowing, but I think minutes to enter a phone number goes way beyond this
The slowness is probably due to you not resizing your Ext ROM, I remember when we first got the WM5 ROM people not resizing first and having real issues with speed. My personal experience with WM5 on the Blue Angel was that it was too slow even with a resized ExtROM and when it was overclocked to 520MHZ. I can't figure why you can't resize your ExtROM, are you sure that it is unlocked when you run ExtROM tools? Have you tried deleting a file from it?

Yes, I tried adding and deleting a file, so it is definately unlocked, I just get the error message when I try to re-size.
Is there an absolute foolproof method for the unlock, as i mentioned I followed the process of hard reset, copy unlock.exe, run, open ExtRom tools, unhide, soft reset, unlock, soft reset, copy Part_Doc.exe, run and get error...tried several different sizes 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048 etc all in vain.
Maybe I will flash it back to 2003SE and try again.
Any idea if the v3 wm5 rom on the Wiki also includes the latest v3 patch?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Just a thought - I remember that the size is required to be in Kilobytes.. Therefore for say 16MEG (standard BA figure for ExtROM) you need 16 x 1024KB = 16384
So, when you say you've tried up to 2048, you've only sized for 2MB - No wonder it comes back with errors :lol:
Perhaps someone can confirm this..?
Cheers!
When you turned off all sounds, did you go into phone settings and turn off the keytone sounds?
I turned off all sound notifications, for the phone as well. However after installing the XCPUScalar, to overclock (gracefully) I have no problems and can even turn phone sound back on without loss of performance.
The onyl issue I still have is the inability to synchronise my clander using Activesync 4 on a networked PC, contacts synchronise, but not claender...weird.
Hello!
First of all, I'm a newb
I've been using Tuma 1.3 for a while and suddenly, I got this message:
Storage memory is critically low. If you do not increase memory, you may not be able to start some programs. Use File Explorer to delete files you no longer need, or move some files to a storage card.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That been said I did not install new apps, copied new files, etc...
Still, I tried to search for any unusual bigger file but found nothing.
Tried a hard reset but it remained the same.
So my final approach would be upgrading to a new rom/downgrading to the latest official rom.
Guess what, since then I can't seem to connect to ActiveSync, Windows still recognizes the device, ActiveSync tries to connect to device but with no success.
I've read the hole wiki, and searched the forums but found nothing.
Is there a way to do some kind of full format? Or is there a way to upgrade the rom without ActiveSync?
Any advice?
Thanks in advance, best regards.

You can format the storage by using the hard reset method...
Power Button + Reset Pin
Before ROM didgits appear on screen hold down Camera + Record buttons until options appear on screen...
Use Record button to move to Format Storage option... Use Camera button to change to yes... (You should also format the Registry Hive to get all the way back to the base ROM state)
Press the Mail button to accept...
Your screen will turn white while the format takes place then you'll boot as normal...
dude...
i love you
thank you, it worked like a charm, i owe u one :wink:
Hi Guys,
I tried using the ExtROM_unlock CAB file for HERMES on my Trinity.
It allows me to write... but the changes made does not survive a soft Reset...
Please advise if there is any work arounds...
Regards

But, exactly, what about the three .cab present in the ext ROM? What do they do? Is safe to ignore their installation (ie if they r only skins) or they represent some sort of upgrade/update of present features?
Well for soft reset survival you can try this hint read somewhere in the forum:
first exit your registry editor instead of minimizing it, then wait a while before doing the soft reset (around 30 sec if my memory is good).
Then you solve part of the problem: your Ext Rom keep unhidding BUT still write protected...
So you can't use it anyway :-(
And i didn't find any working solution...
about the 3 cabs in the ext rom i install them and did not notice any changes...
Hello, i'm a complete noob who received the phone 2 days ago. On the day that I picked up the phone, I immediately installed the energy rom 3.0 by following the simple instructions. Almost everything on the energy rom (updated 6/12) was perfect except...
I have a few inquiries before I mess with my fuze (or possibly brick it):
1) How do I add newly downloaded applications (games) from my computer to my phone?
-Do I just drag it and place it anywhere on my HTC drive? (btw, I don't have a storage card yet, should i drag future applications in there?)
ex. I downloaded a game application off some mobility site which had like 12 files... Idk if I am supposed to drag them and drop it off in my HTC flash drive or in a folder.
2) When I add the application/games, how do I access them?
-Are they automatically placed into the game folder in the start menu?
3) How do I add new tweaks to my phone? Specific tweaking applications like some landscape adjustment, or keyboard or theme.
-How do I use those tweaks? If I d/led the landscape tweak, what is the first step that I do?
-Do I also just drag into my HTC flash drive?
4) How can I make JUST the energy rom clock transparent, it covers my today screen picture and it's very annoying.
5) Is there an application to adjust the start menu items with the 4 columns on the energy rom.
6) The phone seems a bit sluggish when I try to unlock it or slide across, is there a way that I can increase the speed?
-installing a micro sd card? somehow fix the internal applications and stuff?
Thank you, and sorry for posting this uber noob thread, I just don't know where to start to look for specific threads to answer these questions.
Welcome to XDA!
The easiest way to install any type of application or software is to find it in .cab format, a cab will install and put all the files where they need to go on its own. All you have to do is sync your phone and drag the cab into your phones memory or better yet an SD card once you get one, then go into file explorer and click the cab, it will ask you where to install it (phone or SD) and presto you are good to go! Some cabs may prompt you to reset phone after install, its best to do so! If you installed Energy 3.0 then I assume you also Hard Spl'ed your phone. Once your phone is Hard Spl'ed you would be hard pressed to "Brick" it with an application and if you mess it up in some way or it stops working right check the Wiki on how to Hard reset and that will wipe it back to the way it was right after a fresh flash! If you have any other questions feel free to PM me and I will help you in any way I can!
thank you very much kind sir, i will figure out which cabs i need to download and then proceed until i have further trouble. thanks a lot for the cab info !
I rooted my cdma hero almost a week ago, and things have gone okay. I've been running cm6. however, i recently noticed my phone wasn't ringing or anything when i had the volume all the way up. It only vibrated. I figured "well maybe I accidentally applied the 'silent' ringtone" so i went to check that.. only to find that all of my ringtones were gone! I proceeded to re-download a ringtone and notification pack, and put them in the /media/audio/ringtones/ and /media/audio/notifications/ directories. Still.. No ringtones! I tried using the dev tools app to do a media scan.. it says this: "sent ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED to trigger the Media Scanner." Nothing else happens. nothing changes.. so i backed up anything i needed and formatted my SD card. lo and behold, after putting the ringtones back on... nothin'. Can anyone help me? I'm really screwed if i can't fix this. Thanks for taking the time to read my life story, and thanks in advance for any advice!
EDIT: I also now noticed that if i open the music app, it says "scanning SD card" and does nothing else at all.
If your missing ring tones in your rom you can reflash the rom or try a full wipe then reflash the rom. As in wipe data,cache,dev-cache and sd-ext if you have one. What recovery are you running??? And what mods are you running???
