Hello!
in current WWE rom file that is needed by many applications (HTCAPI.dll) goes away each time i do soft reset.
can somebody create a small executable that will copy this library from the root of the storage card to \windows folder? than it would be possible to put it to startup folder....
will this problem remain with custom roms?
thank you in advance !
Same here, need that file for Hologram, not essential, but it's funny..

Hi, I have two problem with upgrade. I try to change rom to qtek 9100 1.6.7. Firstly, when I launch aWizard, use command "e", next "u" and then "w" and there are no available roms, despite I moved the rom into ROM folder:
Next problem I got with External ROM. When I try copy unziped files to /External_ROM/ there is a pop up that they can not be overwritten. I removed all previous files from that folder. Please help me how to upgrade....
I think I remember from other threads that awizard doesn't like spaces in directory names. (Use the search function in the forum to find out or) try putting it in c:\awizard or something.
In some roms (i think 1.6.x and up) the extended rom is protected. This has also been discussed a lot in the forums.
Thank You bredita! It works when I moved it to C:\ I'm trying to find how to unlock extended_rom but I can't. I would apreciate if sb helped me...
I am trying to unzip files from Qtek_9100_1_6_7_ENG_Extended_ROM2.zip to /Extended_ROM/ or /Extended_ROM/ and I can not. Before that I had deleted all files from those folders (I hope) but I can not overwrite new files. When I install extended ROM unlocker, then some strange files are copying to /Extended_ROM2/ and I still can not copy new ROM there. Now I got empty both Extended_ROM folders and I do not know what to do....
Hello,
I was trying to upgrade extended rom, after updateing new os.
And...
I copy proper files to some folder by Active Sync, and then go by Total Commander do \extended_rom, delete all files from it and copy from other folder. Then I see monit, that files are there and if I want to override them...
I say yes.
And after hard reset nothing happen - no files are installed. And in \extended_rom I see no files, but when I try to copy them - the same situation.
Please, tell me what to do ?
I want to write make my application package a part of existing ROM and wants wheneever set hard set it installed (Dont want to burn ROM for each type of machine)
OR
once my program intsalled in memory, hard reset should not disturb it and will remain at machine startup
any luck?
Thanks,
Khurram
Hi Khurram!
There is a relatively simple solution to keeping your program after hard reset, without adding it to ROM and re flashing the device.
Most devices have either extended ROM, or better yet a file store, which is not erased by hard reset, but can be freely written to. (I think extended ROM needs unlocking before you can write to it).
Here's how to make your program restore it self automatically after hard reset: In the file store create a directory named 2577. In that directory place a file called autorun.exe
The system will launch autorun.exe automatically after hard reset, so you can write one to do what ever you need (install programs, restore settings etc.)
I'm not sure about the extended ROM, but I believe the procedure is similar.
P.S. You should ask technical questions like this in development and hacking forum.
Good luck!
levenum, Thanks a lot for the help , i will try and let you know. one thing the "2577" should be created how (any help will be appreciated) and will that folder and file also store at storage "E ROM" or will have to cook ROM for this.
also , any disadvantage of it as compare to Cooking a ROM
Regards
Khurram
In order:
2577 is an ordinary folder which you create just like any folder. (2577 is the processor type) The system simply knows to look for autorun.exe in that folder.
I don't know about E ROM, sorry.
The disadvantages of using file store (that I can think of) is the fact that the user can easily delete the content if he chooses to. Also most WM5 devices don't have "file store".
But if that is not a problem for you, the great advantage of it, is that you can replace any file, using just the explorer which means you can quickly test and modify your app without cooking ROM and re flashing.
I am a newby and trying to install smartkeys on cingular 8125. Do I download to pc and activesync or download direct to device? Trying to download to device make .php file. Sorry for the dumb question...trying to learn
I just downloaded to PC then put unzipped files on my Mini SD then clicked on the file to set it up. Probably an easier way but this is most obvious to me.
First of all, read the pdf that's included in the download. Basically what I do is make a directory Smartskey somewhere on my PC. I extract the files to this folder. I locate Omapclock on this site if I care to overclock (which I do) and copy that file to my new Smartskey folder on my PC. I then edit the smartskey.ini to my liking, referring to the readme.pdf as necessary. I actually keep a copy of this on my SD card for when I do a hard reset on the road. I have a directory called "!APPS" on my storage card that has all my cabs. Now.... copy the modified Smartskey folder to your device. I put it off of Program Files. Do NOT, as xxpinballxx, run from your SD card! This is documented as a bad idea. If you don't believe me, read the readme.pdf included by the author in the download. Once it's on your device, click one time on the smartskey.exe file. That's it!
Enjoy.
(And please don't PM me regarding this has no one else can benefit)

Warning message on startup
Hi Guys
I have installed smartskey (placed it in a folder under windows in main memory) and told it to start automagically.
But now when I soft reset my device it warns me about smartskey and wants me to press yes. How can I get it to start transparently.
Thanks
I see that behaviour ocassionaly, not every soft reset. Odd.
I recently updated the software on my phone (8125) and now when I start it up, it tells me that SmartSKeys is not signed with a trusted certificate and it does not start. If I tap the exe manually it starts up NP. Any suggestions?
I had the same problem with it and I had to remove the startup file from the windows/startup folder as well as the program from the memory card and then I reinstalled it to a folder in the PDA. No more problem.
Restart problem fixed
Hi
A few weeks ago I stopped receiving the message. My device is still overclocked which is what I use skey for but it doesn't complain when I switch the device off then on again (by holding down the power button) or when I soft reset.
Strange but true
Thanks

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.
4. Install PPCPimbackup utility by Dotfred on your existing ROM and backup your SMS using that. And then flash the new ROM.The utility is available in this folder also.

Hi C_shekhar,
I have two questions in upgrading your ROM and the ExtROM
1) How to do this step ->Mark all cab files as read only
2) Can i flash the ROM first, the copy all ExtROM files to the SD card, and then do a Hardreset -> i have done this but seems not work.
Thank you.
you can mark the files read only using a file explorer utility like resco explorer. and as long as u add the appropriate entries to config.txt whenever u hard reset the cabs will get installed.
n btw im sorry im not c_shekhar but i think the answers correct

thank you very much for your quick reply.
now i have reflashed the ROM and the ExtROM works now.
I am wondering why we have to hide the files in the ExtROM folder, as i found all CAB files still there after the installing.
another question: can we hide teh ExtROM folder not the files inside?
Thanks.
yeah sure again that could be done with resco file explorer or something similar... although i dont think hiding is one of the requirements. the only thing required is marking them readonly.
