extended rom not visible - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

Hi, I have a qtek9090 (as shown in my signature) and tried to upgrade to WM5 TuMa 1.3.
I followed ALL steps (also the steps to reformat extended rom), but at the end of the upgrade I am unable to see extended ROM and to install the applications. More I've a very slow device and a lot of sync problems.
Now I have rollbacked to WM2003 SE using the standard ROM, but I want know if there is a solution.
I think that your is a very very good job (porting WM5 on the BA) and that maybe all are problems due to my errors, but I read a lot on these forums but didn't found a solution. :?:
many thanks

did you doing unlock and unhide the EXT ROM with tolls on WIKI

Yes, I did that. My extended ROM is visible until flashing ROM.
I'm using procedure described in
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM5_WizardPort_v1.3-TuMa
All the upgrade procedure goes smooth until step 8 (included step 5 copying EXTROM folder), but the step 9 doesn't happens and I can see only the "temp disk" folder as the storage.
bye

Upgrading from WM5_BA_Patched to WM5_pack_V1

Hi Mamaich, I am currently running ROM 5.03.02WWE with the patched nk.nbf. I have problems with running WorldMate Pro and WorldMate Expense. Both of them was successfully installed, but I am unable to launch each of the program. Hence, I was wondering if I should upgrade my ROM to the latest ROM WM5_pack_V1 and it would help with installing and running the WorldMate softwares. If it hepls, then do I have to 'Unhide & Unlock' and Repart_DOC my system. Bearing in mind that I am nolonger running WM2003SE, or can I just run BAupgradeut from the WM5-pack-V1. If Not, mut I downgrade back to WM2003SE first, and upgrade from Step 1.
Thanks
you don't need to repartition DOC if you did it before. And if you flashed the patched ROM - you don;t need to reflash it, just do a hardreset (camera+record+reset button and select to clean registry and storage).
Maybe WorldMate soft is not compatible with WM5, I don't use it.
Thanks Mamaich, ran Baupgradeut from the PH20B folder, but it reported that this upgrade is not for your device type. I have a PDA2K device.
I used the WM5_pack_V1 to upgrade.
The rom and ce files are the same in the pack as in the other ba_patched.
I we just added the 2 dirs to make life on wiki easy.
I had reflashed my wm5 device to wm5 when I checked the instructions.
I am not aware of your problem however if other people can confirm it we need 2 update wiki.

Trouble after using WM 5

Did anybody having trouble with unlocking ExtendedROM after downgrading from WM5 ?
Il have problem with unlocking after downgrading to WM 2003 SE again
I got error message
THX
The ext ROM should not re-lock after upgrade / downgrade as the security code is changed and there is no way to re-lock it! Are you sure you re-configured your memory back to a 16MB area for ext rom before you downgraded?
I can't understand that - after I downgraded I can't see the Ext.Rom. I run the unlocker and unhider but still couldn't see it to load all the ol' ext.rom files in it.
As I said - did you resize the ext rom in WM5 before downgrading?
Not sure if it will work but try using the Repart tool under WM2003SE to reduce the size to give you back an ext rom (See the Wiki for downgrading)
I read the whole Wiki and even translated it into german for our german WM5 buddy's. I resized it AFTER the downgrade how it's been explained on the wiki.
I mean it's not a "Heeeelp" - because I installed the O2 GER CAB manually, I just wanted to know this.
You can downgrade to 2003SE and then using the partition tool create a new ext rom with 16384 kb which will you back your Ext rom. I hope this helps.
Sorry to bring this back from the dead, but I am having the exact same problem. Followed the wiki to a T to downgrade from WM5, and all went well until I went to apply the extrom. Running the repart_doc tool it ran with success, but upon a soft reboot the extended_rom folder is not present. Any ideas?
Figured it out - extended rom was hidden. Grabbed a utility from xda-dev to unhide it and voila, it worked.
For anyone that cares, the newest t-mobile rom w/cooked ext works great on my M2000...

My xda iis already upgrade to wm5, but how to take more rom

How to take more rom ????
Thanks you
Hi
Describe your problem better.
I don't understand.
"Take" ROM
What do you mean ?
I want take more Ext_ROM to 60MB or more,
I try downgrade to 2003SE, but I can't downgrade.
Thank you very much
Now I understand.
You have to carefully follow WM2005 -> WM2003 migration process described in wiki. (here)
It is important that you do as told.
The internal flash needs to be reformatted to get some ExtROM.
In most cases 16 megs of ExtROM is enough (for using official WM2003 upgrades)
Read carefully and you'll do it.
Good luck.

Ok I see that you have a G4. Lokiwiz is a waste of your time since you have a G4.
Here is what you need to do:
Because you have a G4, you can't just flash a rom because of the DOC chip.
There are 3 ways I know of to flash a G4.
1. Download shelltools - install enablerapi.cab and cert_spcs.cab and reboot your device. connect with activesync and place the nk.nbf file of the rom of your choice in the shelltools directory and run shelltools and follow the directions in the readme. If you do it correctly, you will end up successfully flashing your device.

2. Download SoftSPL and place the nk.nbf file of your choice in the RUU folder included and run SoftSPL and it is fully automated. It will call the RUU and your device will be flashed in about 7 minutes.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329147
3. Use the HardSPL(CID UNLOCK) and unlock your device prior to flashing. This will allow you to just flash roms at your leisure with no problems whatsoever from now on BUT it is still in developement so use at your own risk.

No problem... Now you're at the fun part. Add ons!!
add ons
when it comes to add ons,I was reading on the Rom Kitchen thread and and I couldn't see much more that could be added to the rom that Faris V5's nbf file.it seems to be one of thee most comprehensive files that I have come across. the only issue is that it runs a bit slow but it cool.I might just need to do some memory management.
other than that I would recommend the file.
do you have any other recommendations?
have u seen the article that microsoft wants xda dev... to remove all of its roms from the website?

I personally use the TNT.1437 TouchFlo and TNT.1437 Professional+HTC Home roms personally modified to have a 10MB page pool. They are quite fast and are almost 100% stable with only minor bugs that are barely noticible...
Here is a link to the 10MB Version of TNT.1437 Touchflo

If you would like, I can speed up the performance of faria's rom also and then upload the new nk.nbf file for you to try. Just let me know.
speed
Yes, please.... speed it up for me. if there are any other applications (add ons) that you feel should be added to the nbf file then please add them.
i have already shared the nbf file with many guys at work. we would be grateful if you can assist.
one last thing, i noticed that there is a 3G icon under the comms manager. one of the guys said that we should not have any issues accessing 3G even if the phone didnt come with it. is it possible to use 3G on these phones?

Stuck in BA WM6 Upgrading

I'm Stuck in BA WM6 Upgrading.
I was at the HTC_Blueangel_WM6_Wizzard Upgrade 4
After execute the installer file I performed a Hard Reset
Colored stripes (the bootscreen) will appear on the screen but I can't ge no debugger screen at all: the BA remain in Bootscreen with R 1.11.0 at the right bottom of the screen.The battery was full. I've tried the mtty procedure as well...no way out. Any clue ????
Have you follow all this steps here?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardUpgrade1
Yes I did and now I'm Stuck at
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardUpgrade4
And what device do you have in fact? Qtek 9090? Other??
Mine is a Qtek 9090 and didn't have any trouble...
Same problem here, wm6 was already running; downgraded to 2003 SE to repartition the extrom, wanted to flash to wm6 again; now my xda3 is stucked after flashing, only r 1.10.0 is shown, no chance to carry on...???
I've got imate pda2k ct2cwj...and Heinzibua I'm stuck on R 1.11.00 do you have an Imate as well ??? cause I guess the official XDA procedure doesn't work for this kind of model (mine was an Italian W2003).
I'm very upset about this...
@ conosciani.m
wm6 worked well on my xda3 , problem was only after repartitioning the extrom.
I'm going to think I did somenthing wrong during the extrom steps..so i've returned back to wm2003 and I'm going to try the upgrade again
please tell me, if you find the solution...
running again
i repartitioned storage in 2003SE set to 20000 kb.
flashed to WM6, no problem now, storage is 41,25 MB, but running !!!
I did it too, I had to reinstalled w2003 and dit the Upgrading BA WM6 wizard again.....
after UNHIDE the rom, this time (and not in the previous upgrading), I did it the rom format using MTTY after that I ran the upgrade procedure and I got the WM6 running.
Happy for both of us to reach the goal......
do you have 60 MB storage now ?
can you give me more infos about MTTY ?
thx
tried to set storage to 60mb again, stuck again, also if i do just the same procedure as yesterday it is stuck; start to hate this device.
please tell me, what you did exactly to make it run. tried mtty also, but don´t know, what to do...
try this...
1. downgrade to 2003
2. copy the utils to the phone(extrom utils and repart_doc.exe)
3. install extrom utils...
---a. tap unhide... ok.
---b. tap unlock... ok. may throw an error but still ok...
---c. reset...
4. run Repart_DOC
---a. Set it to 128 byte
---b. Go/Start/Format (it should succeed)
5. reset to bootloader
---(press and hold record + power button then stick reset)
6. flash WM6 ROM
7. cold boot (press and hold power button then stick reset)
8. (optional) if stuck in the "tri-color"(white isnt a color ) screen...
---Hard Reset. Using No/Yes/Yes option.
reading further about the Repart_Doc topics...
128byte is the smallest you can format/resize the extrom
to maximize the storage in WM6.
Thx, that´s exactly what i did many times without success...
but now it works, after upgrading radio rom there also was no problem with upgrading to WM6; 60 MB rom; i only want to upgrade to radio rom 1.15, then i´m happy.
thx everybody for your help
