When i delete the files inside my extrom, they keep returning after a soft reset.
I tried to delete them with total commander - > no success
when i unhide/unlock the extrom and delete them, again after a softreset they are back.
I also removed the "read only" attribute, but that doesn't do the job as well.. Also files wich i add are gone after a reset.
Anyone got a clue what to do ?
Hmmm...
I've been flashing whole day, trying different roms and
i found out that the 1.3.2.3 rom allows me to delete everything in the extended rom, but on the 1.6.2.2 (and 1.6.2.4) rom the files keep coming back.. very annoying situation :S
The same with me,
i have the 1.6.3.1 Vodafone Rom and i cannot delete any files in extended rom nor copy any file. Even all the unlockers ar of no help. It seems that this version is locked differently.
Haven't tried to flash a different rom yet.
Hmmm...
It must be a regsetting then i hope..?
If i've got time enough today i'll flash the 1.3 rom again and make a
registry backup.. after that i'll flash it again with the 1.6 and do the same
and then compare the registry's.
Maybe that will do the job
For me now is the time to quit looking for a way to write files in the extrom, i hope some genius ppcguru will find the way of the dragon
Eventhough there is a minor difference in the registry of both roms, changing the value's or deleting certain storagemanager keys doesn't do the job.
Just a matter of time i hope....
Edit
I compared the registry's of the 1.3 and 1.6 rom, and there are some differences,
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\TrueFFS1]
"Key"="Drivers\\BuiltIn\\TrueFFS1"
"Flags"=dword:00000004
"SoftwareWriteProtect"=dword:00000001
"AutoDPDMode"=dword:00000001
also strange, that if you "delete" files, the memory comes free for that session, and you can make use of the memory, but after the soft reset it still wipes all added content.
Maybe there's a file with all cabs inside that it restores on reboot ?

I have compared the boot.rgu of ROM 1.5.x device and 1.6.x device. I think the key to the problem should be the \windows\boot.hv file, which come from \windows\boot.rgu. IF we could change remove the "writeprotect" key in that file the protection should be gone.

Which change have you made? the wizard registry or the boot.hv? i think both entry of sth link "softwriteprotect" have to be changed.

Just tried this way by modifing SoftWriteProtect value in default.hv, then flashing it back via aWizard, I am sorry it didn't work as we expected.

Hi all!
did anyone tryed roll-back to an old ROM and then delete and copy a new ExtROM to device and apply the last ROM in next?
thanks,
Atary
Still a problem or a soulution available?
Still a problem I geuss, at least based on the forum contents.
What could also be used is a ExtROM backup and edit (like the ER2003Edit for Himalaya I used to use) util.
Hopefully it should not be to difficult for the guys that made aWizard: Buzz_lightyear, machinagod, loki and ahlok_hk

Didn't find a way yet...

(or, i hope )
Found 2003SE ugly but at least useable. WM5 just runs too slowly for me. Do I just need to follow the 1.42 Rom flash tutorial on the wiki to reflash my existing Rom or are there specific steps that need to be done beforehand?
I changed the EXT Rom to 128K as per instructions for WM5 installation will this affect any reversal process?
Thx.
Hi
Yes, you have to do it 'special' way.
Just tell me why haven't you found this wiki page ?
Follow the process carefully.
There are bunch of people stuck with improperly downgraded devices (no risk though... they simply don't know how to repair it)
Good luck

Just execute the .exe, if you are lucky you won't get any county or model errors, but I doubt it. If you get errors, you will need to follow the instructions by cdaly1970

If you use winrar you could extract that exe so you don't have to go to the temp dir
YESS !!! I think everythink is already on WIKI
While trying to update my MDA Vario with the new AKU 2 ROM of T-Mobile the RUU puts the MDA in bootloader. Then Windows notifies me of a new unknown USB device and the update utility gives me an communication error with error code [260] - upgrade failed. :shock:
1) How to solve this problem as this would make me or
2) Is it possible for someone to make a complete backup on a mini SD card of his HTC Wizard? From what I have read on Internet this can be written to a file. When posted on the XDA ftp I can write this file back to a mini SD card and restore a original ROM (for this I need a short tutorial).
option 2 assumes that the problem is related to the ROM. I super CID and SIM unlocked using the well known tools. Maybe this has gone wrong at some point :?: ?.
I'm having the same problem moving up to a custom 2.26. Did you ever find a solution.
Thanks,
Jeff
dont qoute me on this.. but i believe its an issue with the update utility... hopefully someone else can confirm or deny this..
but you can try this one:
i dont know how much either of you know so i will try some directions with this...
take my rar file, extract them to a folder, lets use c:\rom for an example
if you rom you have is in an *.exe format then use winrar to extract the rom to a folder then take the nk.nbf file and copy it to c:\rom and then run the update utility
if your rom is already in a rar or zip file then just extract the nk.nbf file to the c:\rom folder and then run the update utility
hope that helps

the custom rom that you have, does it have the NoID update utility already?
ANSWER
I spent a few hours fiddling with this, and it turns out that my problem was that I have a miniSD installed. Make sure you pop your miniSD out of the slot before you begin the update, and it should work.

Yes, it does. Oh, I also tried this without the MiniSD in the device (a known but really strange problem). Still getting the error.
Error 260 Finally Gone!!!
Well, just for the heck of it, I tried xelencin's 2.26 ROM update from another PC...and it succeeded.
Clearly, it is a new issue related to my laptop but it is probably going to quite a bit of trouble to track down.
Thanks everyone,

Well since my device bricked anyway i'll mess around somewhat, let's see what this ROM's got thank you for sharing But too bad this does not flash SuperCID on the device, but requires it i'll wait for the official ROM
I bit the bullet and tried but got this error:
Error 294 INVALID VENDER ID

Thank you. is this file complete ROM update or just OS dump prepared for flashing to SuperCID device?
Hi all,
I have just flashed this new OS from the official rom (what people call, HERA_WM6_FLASHER.rar) on my P4350. This rom is for German device, like Wing's OS. There is not big difference, this is really for Herald. The mistake is the same, there are some wrong letters on the keyboard.
You can flash the OS with Aserg' way easily. Your device does not need to be unlocked.
IT RUNS LIKE HELL! )
MS Office is included. You can take a look at the below pics.
How did you flash? did you rename the os.nb0 to os.nb and followed azergs instructions as normal?
wondering about same thing..
Well, I tried replacing the os.nb file in asergs wm6, it gave a error, but when i did a hard reset, it worked just fine btw I renamed the os.nb0 to os.nb,and then replaced asergs os.nb....
im now testing out thecabs extracted from the touch and up to now its great
OK I could extract the files of the os.nb both the XIP sections and the IMGFS.
I used the Hermes NBH tools for that (see http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_NBH).
My problem si that rdmshflsh.pl does only extract files, not modules...
I'm trying to rebuild a ROM for the Wizard with this one, but if I don't get any modules, it is ok to have only files in the IMGFS?
-eluth.

You failed, what did you do?
hay i also got such a problom when i can't find the solution for always connected with active sync guide.
so just read it and follow the steps and flashe any good ROM and then hard reset it by below steps
1. Hold Camera and Record button and press reset. Hold it a while, until you'll see three options at the top. Choose:
* Enable KITL: No
* Clean Registry Hive: Yes
* Format Storage: Yes
& leave it you got your working screen again if device is not broken

Well, in my opinion: Do not delete this thread.
It's a good beginning to discuss common problems on upgrading, or installing apps after that! What do you think of that? Telling others about problems and their solutions or workaround.

Well today i come a cross a c skekhar folder with a rom in it and a ExtROM folder:
then i read this in a .txt in that folder and it says:
Code:
1. You must be seeing a folder \ExtROM here which has few cabs and tsk files. Place this folder on \Storage Card of your device.
2. You can add the files which you wish to autoinstall after hard reset to this folder. But, dont forget to modify the \Storage Card\ExtROM\Config.txt accordingly.
3. Mark all cab files as read only.
You now have the Extended ROM back on your device but on the storage card this time.... Enjoy.
