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.
after searching through Google and MoDaCo, I've come to the conclusion that the latest ROM for the Vario is 1.6.2.4 (WWE)
As far as I understand, there was supposed to be another update but it's been pushed to July.
This update is the AKU2 update (I dont know what it means)
Some said that installing the iMate K-Jam AKU2 onto the Vario will work, but will remove all T-Mobile apps and settings.
Is this true?
If so where can I get the apps and settings back as T-Mobile's website is a blank.
Now if all is well, where do I get this latest ROM?
Should I take any precautions?
What will I gain and lose system wise?
Finally, does anyone know where I can unlock the device.
Sorry for the truck load of questions.
Just want the best since I just got my vario and it seems pretty sluggish. A person from esato said that AKU2 would fix that.
What is the best ROM to install onto my T-Mobile (recommended)
(also, if the rom isn't like a regular executable, how would I install it?)
Kind regards!
Go to the Wizard forum and read the lokiwiz thread for unlocking - essential if you want to run different ROMs
A search on TMobile settings will bring up many posts but it's going to vary according to whether you use TZones or the unlimited internet access.
Apart from the internet access and, maybe, MMS I'm not sure what other TMobile stuff anyone would want.
I run the latest QTEK ROM and can recommend it for speed, stability etc etc and configuring MMS and Internet is no issue.
thank you very much for your prompt reply.
I did spot Loki and unlocked my phone, however I assume you mean CID Unlock am I correct?
What I was referring to when mentioning losing anything was any apps.
I am unsure if there is anything that T-Mobile Provides that I will need.
Is there any program that can back up the whole phone for free?
(that way I can back up settings and apps, upgrade the rom and then restore everything)
you recommended the Qtek rom because it's the latest, there were a few roms which said "Latest" but were not, just so that I do not make an error could you link me to the correct thread?
As I'm sure you understand, I'm worried that I might do something stupid and end up with a brand new brick.
edit:
I just purchased SPB Backup.
I'm hoping that'll be enough.
edit2:
I noticed in a thread below my thread that the latest Qtek rom causes some battery miscalculation and a drain for some. Is this still the case, is that the latest rom?
Can you link me to the appropriate rom?
Sadly it seems the battery meter is moved to the top.
Is it recommended that I wait for the T-Mobile Rom to be released?
What am I missing out on, besides better speed (since mine lags like nuts)
I'm sorry again for the questions. Perhaps my thread can be a sticky for beginners?
Kind regards, and thanks again.
Kei
edit3:
lol this is the first time this has happened (I recentley unlocked the phone and did a backup) but it just soft reset on it's own...
Is this common?
Wow, lot of information.
Latest QTEK ROM is the 186504-ruu_9100_2170702_21707102_20710_qtek_wwe_ship.exe
You need to CID unlock to install ROM's from other vendors.
There should not be any downside to the process though I'll qualify that when dealing with technology anything can happen. Read the lokiwiz thread in full and you'll see most of the good and occassional problem.
Not having ever used a TMo ROM I don't know what they bundle in there. However, I use TMo service with the QTEK ROM and have no issues - just had to cingure the GPRS for internet and the MMS settings.
No idea what the soft reset could be I'm afraid.
would you (or anybody)
be able to confirm battery problems after installing the latest Qtek rom?
(Or battery miscalculations)
I've downloaded a file called RUU_Prodigy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
I'm assuming thats the right one.
Does anyone know how to get the battery icon at the bottom and the clock at the top AFTER installing the Qtek rom?
Although people say the rom is more stable (wont reset so much)
I still don't know what I'll be gaining. Of course if it'll double to speed then it'll make it much worth it, because the K-Jam is sllooooow.
well it's been a while but I just wanted to confirm that the battery is indeed inaccurate.
I haven't found a way to move the battery icon and clock around.
Is the rom I mentioned still the latest and best?
Can someone link me to the latest and/or best (EVEN if it is the same ROM)
Hi all.
I've just got my new Orange M700 on contract and have a few basic questions before upgrading to WM6:-
1. Before upgrading is it sensible to backup the existing ROM etc? Are there tools to do this?
2. After upgrading SPL, GSM and ROM and presumably installing the latest UK network wizard software from HTC will the existing SIM just carry on working as before without Orange being any the wiser as to my actions?
3. In the case of a warranty claim or if I just want to go back to factory default for some reason, what's the recommended process (if any) of reverting to the original ROM etc?
I've been reading hundreds of posts here but thought it best to double check before proceeding. Could be useful for other newbies to see the answers to these questions as well I guess.
Thanks
good questions.....
the network manager is a good idea- wonder if there is one for the Aussie market??? Anyone?
from what i have read do a Hard SPL flash first in case of any problems.
No-one has yet extracted the Orange ROM for reinstallation. It is not a simple process! If you don't want to do it yourself, then there's no point in taking backups etc prior to a ROM update, because you can't go back Never try and apply a restore after a ROM update- you risk screwing things up big time!
Orange SIM's will continue working fine, and Orange will be none the wiser about the upgrade.
If you need a warranty repair, you will either have to hope someone has extracted the Orange ROM and posted it for download, or trust to luck that Orange will accept it as it is. A number of people have reported that they have successfully had a flashed device replaced, as long as the fault wasn't due to the ROM update itself.
If you are in any doubt, DON'T DO IT ! The differences from the Orange release ROM in the UK, and the cooked WM6 ROM's are pretty minimal, apart from the cosmetics.
Good info. Many thanks. Time to get flashing.
I'm in the process of dumping and rebuilding an Orange UK M700 ROM at the moment .... so hopefully I'll be able to upload it soon.
the only caution I would add is that you will loose access to the Orangeworld website after flashing, until someone can work out where Orange hide the files that identify the phone and allow the full graphics version of the site. Depends if thats an issue really
just to point out you can't upgrade to official WM6 for Trinity yet- the ROMS are cooked- i.e taken from other handsets and modified to work with Trinity hardware.
I tried many many cooked WM6 ROMS for the Prophet. All had pros and cons, but were too problematic to live with (e.g. wifi and BT setting vanishing, not reliably charging over USB etc).
I'll be waiting for an official WM6 ROM for Trinity - well here's hoping.

Excellent. I was going to have a go myself but haven't managed to make the time yet.
Fingers crossed, good luck etc
Some days ago, i've flashed my phone to get an "up-to-date" ROM. I chose "PDACornerIllusion 21139" of 2009.03.06. All went fine excepting the keyboard of my GPS wont work anymore (dunno why of course), so i re-flashed with another ROM.
I was surprised that my phone kept the CornerIllusion BootScreen, but i didnt care.
All of a sudden, after having soft reset the ROM i chose (the 2nd one), for an installation of some proggie. The ROM restart as brand new asking me to reset the screen, the clock, date etc... losing all my content and customizations. Then i couldnt sync with Outlook after the first sync i've done minutes ago (error code 800004005). I've decided to soft-reset the phone, and now, TF3D wont even start, (it selft tries to start several times, then gives up), AND the programs lists is all broken, no shortcuts left and the games folder is named *h1/4Eg+รง^, nothing works anymore.
I flashed with about 4 roms (including Aztor one), resulting in the same mess.
Does it have something to do with the first one "PDACornerIllusion 21139" and its still remaining BootScreen?
Can i flash my phone from its roots, to get rid of this ?
As it's maybe not the "fault" of PDACornerIllusion, i write this in this section of the Diamond general thread and made a double post at PDACornerIllusion development thread
I suggest you perform a hard reset before flashing any new rom and that you use the traditional "flash-from-PC-using-ActiveSync-connection" method to flash.
And above all I wish you luck!
What was the other ROM you flashed? I am curious.
rondol1 suggests you hard reset prior to flashing a new rom. I suggest you hard reset after flashing a new rom. Net result is probaby much the same. You could even just do a hard reset now with whatever is loaded and things will probably improve. Main thing is...whenever you flash a rom do a hard reset straight after loading it. I always do this religiously and with the exception of one recent rom I tried I have never had a problem.
First of all, thank you both for trying to suggest hints, i really appreciate it.
I've never hard reset the ROM before or after having installed a new one. I never have a problem before.
For the last 2 months, i was on NEON 1.28, then i've decided it was time to update seeing the new features of the more up-to-date ROMs
I've just reflashed it (an hour ago) with PDACornerIllusion 21139, i've hard reseted before and after. let's see how it turns out ....
I've tried NATALY, CLOUDY, MORNA & AZTOR, no luck with any of them, all died after a soft reset or after the 1st sync (reconnecting for a 2nd sync).
Maybe the problem comes from the very root of the phone (like BIOS in a PC, dunno), maybe something in there got corrupted. How to repair it if my guess exists and is it repairable?

There in lies the problem.
I bet you will be fine from now on. Don't ask why you need to do the hard reset - as no one has been able to give a definitive answer - But it is a well known step that many chefs recommend post flash - just do it from now on and you wont regret it.

completely agree with logger - hard reset after you flash any ROM. I haven't used PDACorner - so can't say for sure... but do the flash via CustomRUU once... when the new ROM is flashed... do a hard reset as soon as it's complete..
good luck!
let's see then, >>>>crossing fingers<<<<
I've had this happen a lot lately as well. Might have something to do with the newer SYS? Anyway, hard reseting hasn't always fixed it for me. However, flashing back to the Sprint stock ROM (or HTC stock for you GSM guys) then flashing a new custom ROM has always done the trick. Maybe because the stock ROMs are bigger and "clean" out the memory somehow? At any rate, flash stock and then you're good to go. No permanent damage.
no luck, after a 2nd soft-reset, the phone is asking "touch the screen to configure for the 1sy use blablabla", all data's lost again & again...
what do you mean by stock Rom ? the rom that came with my phone when i've bought it ?
I've got the same problem with the Diamond rebooting like a hard-reset. But I always did a hard-reset after a fresh install. I blamed it on the rom and tried several others, including donsalari's "Clean Basic Rom", the Gen.Y Sense 2.1 and 2.5 versions and an older Aztor rom. Same problem every time, the first reboot after changing the device locale works fine, then I set the whole phone up properly and on the next reboot it will come up as if had performed a hard reset.
Additionally, the file system on my internal storage got corrupted somehow, had to reformat. At some point, I also had the impression that data on the phone memory got lost gradually. First the Contact's numbers got replaced by some nonsense characters, then there were numbers and contacts missing, and finally I had no contacts at all. ActiveSync stopped working so I was in the middle of a trip without my phonebook...
I've got two hypotheses:
1) The Gen.Y bootloader messed with the phone (Had tried the Sense 2.5 Gen.Y rom before donsalari's)
2) Flash controller or Flash itself is broken
@dunnno: I suggest you rename the thread to something like "diamond hard-resets on 2nd reboot after rom install"
edit: oops, just realised I resurrected a very old thread... Maybe there's a fix already?
My diamond still suffers from this problem. I tried it again and again with different roms but everytime, at some point all my configuration is lost and the diamond reboots like after a fresh install. Can anyone please help?
I'm having this problem as well :|
Grr, I have to rely on my phone for so much, but it just doesn't want to work correctly.
Help is immensely appreciated.
Well, I got mine to work, I just flashed the stock HTC ROM and everything has gone back to normal. H3PO, I suggest you give that a shot if you are still having problems.
I had these problems when I first started flashing my Diamond with custom roms.
Now I always flash my carrier stock rom first, then hard reset, then flash custom rom, then hard reset and I never have any problems. I have no idea why flashing the stock rom first stops the problems but I haven't had any problems with the dozens of roms I've flashed using this method.
Also I always flash from internal storage, but others prefer using MTTY
I still have some problems with the Contact Database, but flashing some stock O2 Rom solved the "reboot as new" problem.
Alright people, I consider myself pretty smart when it comes to the world of WinMo, but this is a problem that I just cannot nail down. I have been using the OLD STAXXXSTYLE WM6.5.1 ROM for as long as I've had my Kaiser, and decided to upgrade to his last stable version, well I did and everything seemed fine. After 3-4 hours of using my phone, it went all unresponsive on me...no big deal so I soft-reset it.
Well, it took FOREVER at the initial bootscreen, then eventually continued on and went back to being all-"Oh hai, set me up plox!", like I had hard-reset it. So I chalked it up to weirdness and continued through and re-set it up and such.
Well, long story short, this has happened 2 or 3 more times since then. I just cannot figure out why it keeps doing this. I thought it was my HardSPL since I have read that this can happen with older versions, so I flashed upto 3.34DAVESHAW, and it still continues. I am running radio 1.71.09.01 and have never had any problems with this Kaiser up until now. ANY help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.
seems like bad rom. hard reset usually comes if there are unrepairable memory problems. I had this while using certain kitchen, after I changed to different kitchen and did the same mix of rom, all was good.
Before, when I extracted 20MB zip, some of the files always went wrong and hard reset followed.
in the FIRST post of staxxtanium ROM thread, the fourth line reads:
Unless you have Issues, Stock wont be necessary, Well I personally don't have issues but to be on safe side, flash stock first. Those previously on Ultimate X2.V11 its a MUST that you flash Stock first-

the chefs of nearly all WM6.5(.x) ROMs advise flashing stock ROM before flashing a WM6.5(.x) ROM (even if you already have a 6.5(.x) ROM). some chefs are more clear about the reason, i.e. most chefs will clearly state that this step will avoid unexpected hard resets later on. it seems staxxthedan did not feel it necessary to state the exact reason for his quote above. still, you are having an issue and this is the first suggestion staxxthedan gives for any "issues".
also, further searching would have revealed this solution.
um, what happens with another rom?
Wow, way to be an asshole ASCIIker. I have ALWAYS reflashed to stock before flashing to something else. And yes, it happens with ANY ROM from ANY cook that I have tried in the past few days.
well then you should clarify in your opening post with all pertinent information especially your flash procedure so that the obvious (to you and me) can be ruled out first hand.
not trying to be an asshole, i did try to help, given the limited information you provided. but the information was just that..."limited"!
