I'm currently running WM5 patch 2 but I've now started havings problems unhiding and unlocking Ext ROM on my Device. I keep getting the following error message:
"FL_IOCTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION - The parameter is incorrect"
Athough when I click ok I still get a debug message saying "extrom unlocked" but when I browse my BA, I am unable to locate \Storage folder. Somebody please help!. :shock:
Hi
This is simple.
When you installed WM2005, you re-formatted the ROM.
WM2005 uses 'persistent storage' automatically.
This means that all volatile data is kept in ROM (not RAM).
You can't interfere with that.
To put it simply. There's no extrom or 'storage' in WM2005.
Thank you for the information Robal. Does this mean I can nolonger install programs into the ROM i.e IIWPO (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=IIWPO)?

You cannot. Even if you place a file to extended ROM it would not be instaled after hardreset. WM5 on BA knows nothing about extrom.
Thank you Mamaich!
There another thing bugging me. When I check my Memory Usage, it displays something like this:
Storage
Total: 60.78 MB
In use: 44.21 MB
Free: 17.45 MB
Program
Total: 123.15 MB
In use: 29.77 MB
Free: 93.36 MB
It seems to me that there's no way of me manipulating memory usage i.e. allocate some memory from Program to Storage. Can this be achieved?[/b]

I was playing around with upgrade/downgrade. I was wondering how one will remove the 45MB Storage folder?
Explorer sees it as a storage location (similar to SD card) into of a folder where you could just delete.
You cant delete this storage entirely.

So, I am trying out WM2003SE after being on a number of WM5 ROMs. Using WM2003SE is really odd after being in WM5 [but I think I enjoy the less bugs]!
Any case, all seems well but I have a question about drives and what I see in Resco Exlporer [and when I install stuff].
I see:
\Device
\EXT_ROM
\Storage
\Storage Card
Now, the one I am wondering about is \Storage. Its shows as a 44.69 MB Removable Storage Drive. From what was in this drive I believe it was the RAM Disk in the last WM5 ROM I was using [Helmi BA Aku.2.3 v1 Beta].
So, is \Storage suppose to be there? Or should it be apart of \Device\ or perhaps \Ext_ROM\
I am sure it's okay and that I just do not remember 2003SE properly. If so, sorry for the silly question/post.
Oh, one last question. Is there a tool that will allow you to chose where you want a cab to go to when installing them from the Device itself?
the \Storage is not a RamDisk - it is a persistent storage drive (it was used as main storage under WM5). Under WM2003 all the storage except \Storage card, \Storage and \ExtROM are RAMDisks.
Thank you TB -
So, I need to find a way to get /Storage/ back into WM2003SE /Device/
I guess I missed something in the Wiki... poopy!
I searched. I really did.
Is there a registry key that would allow or prevent installation of cab files to main device storage memory? I have users in Turkey who have the local version of the Kaiser and we can install cab files on the storage card but not on main device storage memory.

i dont get your question. you said that you can install them on storage cardd and you also asked how to prevent it from installing on device.
if you are installing on storage card, then what do you need to worry about the deviced?

dude anytime you install anything and you have a storage card in the device the Kaiser will ask you where to install the item. If this prompt doesn't appear you may have issues with your storage card.
In that case, put the microSD card into a converter and format it on your pc and try again.
If i am wrong then I have no idea what you are saying...
Let me try again.
We attempt to install a program via cab file to main memory. The installation fails with a message saying the installation is unsuccessful.
We then repeat the installation only this time we choose to install to the storage card. This time the installation is successful.
Question: Is this a registry key setting, or something else.
We need to install the programs to main memory. I suppose I should also validate that the program actually installed on the storage card as I've seen some that let always install to main memory no matter what you select.
Sorry for the poor wording last time.

What program are you attempting to install?
I am going on the assumption you are running a stock rom since I have no information to go from on your previous posts. Have you tried the certificates cab?
http://www.4shared.com/file/44361714/8baeab2a/sdkcerts.html
We are attempting to install a cab file related to an Oracle app. We have no problems like this with any of our other PDAs: US, Canada, France, Germany, etc...
We are running a stock ROM. It is a Turkcell Qtek S200
We do not want to disable the certificate checking due to security issues.
So far I would guess that there is no registry key that could cause this problem.
the guy has a point,there are some cabs that will still install to the device even if you chose storage card

This seems like a obvious question , but here goes. Are you sure you have enough main memory space? Oracle isn't known for their " lite " apps.
Here might be your answer:

I used to use this app for Dell Axim x50v which doesn't ask for location to install cab like the kaiser does when you have an sd card in.

Sorry for the delay in responding as I do appreciate the responses from others.
There is plenty of memory available but it is a fair question. The Oracle app we are installing is not that large.
Hello there,
I have quite an amount of strange folders in \windows - these can't be opened or deleted.
On open TotalCommander says 'either not signed or component missing'.
I have always installed software to internal storage and my system storage is down to 14MB left...
Any idea what these are? Will I have to hard reset?
It's a German T-Mob CompactIV / original T-Mob ROM.
Thx

looks like a corrupted filesystem to me. I had this a few times with my SD card on my HTC trinity. Usually it happened when I played around with some of the speed optimizations that changed the blocksize etc. of the SD card.
ok - but if these were corrupted files, shouldn't this have at least some impact on the system itself? It's running great - no errors...
So what did you do with your sd - reformat I assume?
Only to have tried it I installed and ran f-secure -> no virus found (but also no access to these folders)
ok - as somehow my phone started to go totally gaga -> hard reset
- strange folders gone
- went from 14 to 65MB
Hi all i tried to search for an answer and couldnt find it. please help me. Whenever i install any apps it always gets installed in main memory even if i select the memory card as the destination. What is the issue here?
Does your device see your memory card at all? What ROM are you running? Is this something that happened suddenly or has it always been this way? I am sure it can be figured out. Kevin
Also, what type of apps are you trying to install? Some apps will force their way to the main memory as they can't be run off the storage card.

I have the stock 6.1 A&T ROM. i tried to install the touch GLO 3d and all the apps i tried to install as prt of that are going to main memory. Probably as you said it might have been the forced to install in the main memory.
There's no way in the world you can run that off the storage card Usually, anything that goes on the today screen is highly recommend to be installed on the main memory so that it boots correctly.
