Things were good for a while but now it all has gone to ****s.
My BA is having issues and not only with BT. I have managed to enable big store using exttools.exe and repart_doc.exe. The only issue is that I guess that has wiped the hidden rom where all the preinstall apps were.
To make a long story short, I had reinstalled the original rom, from a rom dump I did right when I got the device, however, the device, even after hard reset does not run the usual set up utilities that it did and install the junk my telco has included. While for the most part this was not a big deal now I realize that some of the fixes were needed.
For example I used to have BT xxx.3500 now I have xxx.3900 all find and dandy but with both versions my BT will not stay up for more than 2 minutes before it drops the connection.
On soft reset I get the following error message.
Cannot find "storage" ( or one of its components) Make sure the path and filename are correct and all the required libraries are available. Bugger
So now the question is - IS there a way of making these apps run and if so, how or is there another fix that can be done. MY BA is bleeding and it is dying and it is pissing me off.
After all the restores I can see the Extended_ROM on the PPC once again and all the apps in it, just can't run any of the darn things.
BTW, as my signature says this is BA from Telus and it is running on CDMA. which btw is missing from the WWE version on http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Versions
Any insight would be appreciated.
If I understand everything correctly, you've effectively wiped the Extended ROM and are using it, along with your Storage as one big "persistent storage" folder on your BA, which is what those programs were designed to do. Everything you did, functioned as it was supposed to.
If this is not what you want, then you might try reflashing your device with the last ROM you got from your carrier and see if that restores everything.
I did just that, and I did flash the device with the "virgin" rom which I have uploaded to wiki. But somwhere along the line something just does not jive. While preforming a hard reset the device would normally auto config itself with all the junk that the telco has put on the device including a number of patches and what not. That function does not run anymore, which is what causing me grief. If I unhide the ROM I can see the files that are supposed to run, including the autoexec.exe all there. I try to unlock to copy these files and run them manually but I am not allowed to copy them anywhere. and while I try to use EXTTOOLS.exe to unlock the ROM thing just go south. It says that the ROM is unlocked but I am still not able to copy any of the files from the ROM.
szamot,
there is nothing availble yet for our phones to update them or make them any better...
I can't believe you tried messing with your harrier... just wait a while until sprint releases their update to the ppc6600. (fingers crossed) we should be able to do something then...
all of the roms you see here (so far as far as I know) are for gsm units, and their roms will NOT work with our cdma's. WAIT!!!!!
Hopefully you can get things back to normal.. otherwise your gonna have an expensive pile of nothingness to work with.
good luck.
as i side note wiki has 4 cdma roms.
Actually I uploaded the rom because it seemed to be the newest one at the time.2.04.00 WWE, I also upgraded the BT to xxx.3900 which all worked fine. However somwhere along the line the Ext Rom got screwed, even though I can see it I can't get at it. Not all is lost however I just procured the contents of the rom from a new device, and even though I run all the fixes and updates and patches the PPC still runs like crap. Even hard reset does not get the unit back to its original state.
HEEEELLLLP!!!!
A few weeks back i ran the Wizard Extended_Rom Unlocker.
It worked and i saw Ext_Rom2....after sometime i decided it wouldn't do my anymore good to keep it viewable...so i decide to uninstall the unlocker cab. And after a soft reset, everything goes back to normal or i thought it did.
Today i decide to venture into Extended_rom again, and instead of seeing cabs and the config file....i see 3 folders with weird cryptic symbol names.
And when i try and open them i get an error saying
"Cannot open, either it not signed with a trusted certificate or one of the components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file."
And this error happens for all 3 folders.
My wizard is working perfectly fine, actually better than it has ever done...but i'm just freaked in the event of a hard reset...
Any help on anything i can do to restore the extended_Rom...
btw...i'm running the Custom Tmobile 2.17 rom created by Xelencin.
and to reiterate...all i did was un-install the MyLovingWife unlocker cab and soft reset....i did not run that other "hide Extended_rom cab"
Much thanks to anyone who can help.[/b]
Is there a way to restore or re-import the extended_rom to replace my currently corrupted one?
Or is re-flashing the only way???
Me, myself and I also played around with the Extended Rom Unlocker Tools, also my Extended Rom got corrupted, it was 'writable', but also empty (I tried to install mine IIWPO.CAB in the Extended Rom, but because I got the newest Rom this was/is a problem). A hard-reset didn't work, you get the "welcome screen", but no customization, so reflashing is the only way to get it completely working again.
Thank you tho

Had simillar issues after playing with ExtROM.
Format ExtRom with ResoExplorer resolved it. It can not actually format ExtROM, so comes up with an error, but then ExtROM got all CAB files back.
I think it might be, because some standard system call to format this media leads to recover FileSystem structure.
In reality media is protected, so you do not change anything on the media when writing or removing from/to it, it seems just to cache someweher and format function probably fush the cash.
PS: My OS version 2.16.something.
cheers,
maekel.
YES...that did it!!! Thanks...
now my question is...how do i hide the ext_rom again? I tried what i did before and just uninstall the unlocker, but when i go look it up with a reg-editor...Ext_Rom is empty...
i unlock again, and run the format and the files are there....so everything is there under Ext_Rom2.
Can i just leave it like this unlocked and in the event of a Hard-reset it will still work?
Will running the Lock cab work??

Change registry flag.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1\MountHidden=1
Is this with the ext_rom locked or unlocked??
Shouold i un-install the Unlocker cab then do the registry edit.
I did the reg change...
The Ext_Rom still shows blank.

I think that CAB is just changing couple of registry entries.
You can easily remove it and never use it again.

Extended ROM will not load during hard reset
I have searched the forum for several hours, but I could not find a solution to the issue I am having. When I do a hard reset, hit send to begin the format, I get an error saying FORMAT Failed, so it boots back up as if it was just a soft reset. I really need a hard reset, but I am not sure how to make this happen. I have reloaded the ROM several times, but it still does not take and comes up just like a soft reset. I went into bootloader and flashed it that way, but still no go. If anyone could help me find a way to rectify this issue, I would GREATLY appreciate it.
Okay, so I just recently flashed to Touch-IT 4.4 by itje, and it's been working great. However, I just softreset my phone and now it's stuck in a boot loop just after finishing with the first splash with the text Touch-IT in silver..
It should probably be said that it reboots by itself, which I don 't think is normal for a bricked phone?
So I'm a bit stuck and don't really know what to do; Is my phone bricked (in which case I'll just have to unbrick it, which isn't a problem since there's a certain good guide that explain how to and I've already used it once), or what's wrong with my phone?
Meh, turns out it's possible to flash it with the hacked installer as well.. So I'm just going to reinstall the phone.
I just have one thing to say to all of you guys doing all this work on the ROM of Herald/Wing:
YOU. ****ING. ROCK. <3

Take out your mSD card while rebooting and your device will start up fine
Is it the card that's doing it? Because I've soft-reset before without problems just fine. <.<
Gaah, I wish I had known that (or waited, but I was in a hurry to get my phone up and running again because I was expecting a call)..
It's not the cards fault. Somewhere here in the forum it was briefly discussed, but I can't find it right now.
It was said, that a certain DLL for SDHC support causes the looping.
It's called something like omap650sdhc.dll or so (you need to find out yourself, should be easy)
and by deleting or renaming it, it should solve the whole problem.
Never tested it myself, but it will not harm your device if you delete/rename that file.
That's the driver for the SD card drive... Depending on the rom you're using, it might be stuck inside the rom so you can't delete the file.
I asked Chikenbull on here to make a program that will rename that Omap file and reboot the device. I haven't tested it yet, but here it is.
Remember to use this AT YOUR OWN RISK.

I've been doing this for the last month to avoid a HardReset. I've been having the boot-loop problem since i installed the HTChomeCustomizerV80 and/or HTCplus, and read about the warning too late: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326689
I've since removed the Today plugins, and the only annoyance remaining are the Backlight adjust function not working, and having to remove the microsd everytime I restart/power-on the Wing.
As I said, I'm trying to avoid a Hard Reset because I have 30+ programs installed and it's gonna take me a few days to reinstall all of them. I searched here with no success... all I found are the same saying "remove microSD at boot", which is what I'm doing, but it's a pain.
Tried GAMBIT999's suggestion, but can't remove omap850sdhc.dll from the \windows\ folder. Would DUPRADEE's suggestion of renaming this file with the program solve the restart-loop problem? Or is there other methods I haven't found, that'll save me the trouble of a Hard reset?
-cheers
edit: PROBLEM SOLVED!! thanks duprade
omap850sdhc.dll couldn't be deleted, but just changing the extension to omap850sdhc.000 solved the problem!!! Now I can restart without taking out the microSD!!! w00t w00t w00t !!!
Check for errors under Windows
One more possibility I forgot to mention which work fine for me.
After having the boot-loop symptom I took out my mSD card and checked it for errors under Windows.
I let Windows fix the errors and everything worked fine afterwards.
The procedure didn't took long even on a non USB2.0 port.
No card removing or file renaming anymore.
Folks having the boot-loop may try this solution out first before renaming/deleting the DLL.
My problem was SOLVED by simply renaming \Windows\omap850_sdhc.dll
It's funny how if you do not know the cause of the problem, SEARCH is useless. But once you find the answer (thanks Gambit999 and Duprade), going back to Search turns up pages of the same question posted over and over.
Anyways, credit goes to Paul at MoDaCo who found the solution on June 26:

Changing to a blank new SD did nothing... but by Renaming the file, the PPC will reload the uncorrupted file from the ROM.

I've the same problem! can anyone help me? I tried Total Commander.

Why hello there.
Thought I'd start with a nice little greeting, if you're reading this hopefully you're looking forward to a nice little task. My G1 is entered paper-weight mode rather than my fast boot setting and it's starting to get rather redundant so this is my last resort. There's the premises of my problem here's a little more detailed one for ya.
So I have a launch G1 with Cyanogen's latest 4.2.4 rom installed with the latest radio & any of the other necessary things flashes, etc. I'm honestly pretty good with these kinds of things through actual knowledge from here for just trial and error but this is something I haven't had to deal with for a LONG time. The infernal pause screen of G1 death. It won't leave the "T-Mobile G1" boot image after being flashed / wiped / all around cleaned up. I'm curious if it may just be the G1 or maybe something else caused a corrupted image for some odd reason.
Prior to getting this to happen, my keyboard wouldn't type correctly. The space bar would result in some random key being pressed and in essence, my phone typing by itself. So either my phone's possessed or.... something far worse. If you happen to know what exactly that is, please help me out! I'm open to suggestions, I've tried other builds and I'm about to just grab some old roms and see if maybe this works. If you have tips or need to know any more information please, just ask.
Thanks! Adderall will make this much easier I just need some ideas
-chatty chatt mic-chat chat.
Boom.
The fact that your keyboard was messing up is ominous. Are fastboot and recovery working ok? Can you post a startup log?
I would flash the HardSPL
the spl monitor the control input (afaik because people w/ qwertz keyboards said flashing special spl's converted them to qwerty)
before you mess with that though, make sure you followed the install directions for 4.2.4
you dont just flash it as an update.zip if your switching to cyan for the first time.
you need to flash the HTC recovery image first, then flash cyan on top of that
no see i've been around here since the beginning of the G1 mods and such I know what to do with everything it just started going wild. I'll try flashing the hardSPL and see what happens but this is just odd. I'm trying one more time to flash a new rom on my phone with a freshly formatted sd card then we'll see what happens
Ok first off I am really sorry for the stupidity and should have paid more attention. I was flashing the NBH on my Tilt 8925 and I got the wrong one! it was the KAISIMG-PANEL1-428.NBH that I downloaded and now the text is hard to read and it wont install and I cant change it. Right after I did that I found the forum that told you witch one to use. I wanted to cry!!! So what I'm asking is my phone done for? or is there a way to fix this? like through the andboot folder somehow?
Thank you for any help at all!!!
you learn from your mistakes though, I'm sure I wont do that again
Fixed it! :d
After I gave up I remembered someone said to hold the camera and the power button and reset buttons. I did that just to see what it would do and the colored screen came up with usb at the bottom. so I triad the right file and ran it again and it worked! Now I'll have to give it another go!
so this can be deleted now Thanks!
Just for future reference.
If you flash the wrong nbh with android, you should be able to flash the correct one using either the SD method, or the USB method.
Above all, do not panic, panic bricks more devices than bad flashes ever did
Since this is the Android area, I must say we are extremely lucky, since we are able to flash a new nbh without losing anything at all as far as the OS is concerned, your data and system files will remain intact, flashing an android nbh only replaces the zImage and the android bootloader files, unlike WM where you flash the whole OS and lose everything
Android
That's good to know because I thought I lost the phone for good. I didn't have any data on it that I needed, I was trying to install android to nand and just got the wrong NBH.
The only thing now that would keep me with WM 6.5 is cant get the wifi to work right. It connects to the router but the internet cuts out very bad, like it will work for 10 seconds then cant get it to work at all for 20min then it will load a web page then doesn't work again!
I did the same thing to my Tilt. I downloaded the Kaiser for Super Eclair and flashed it and did not not know I did not flashed the HardSPL.nbh.
I finally figured it out and flashed the HardSPL.nbh. It is at 3.29 right now. But I the phone keep getting error after the penguin screen with scrolling text. It said something about unable to read data. How do I fix this problem?

Jesus... the last post is more the 1year old.
I know you must search, but if the last post is that old, the probability that everything in it is outdated, is near 100%.
Well, that is the what I found. I hate digging up old post especially when it's that old.
