I have just installed the new rom from duttyrom and for some reason i cant install tomtom 7. Its the official version from tomtom. It works on all the other 6.5 roms but for some reason it wont install. Other cab files from my sd card indtall. I have tomtom on another memory card as well and it is the very same so i cant say that it is the card....... Any ideas. Oh and i also put all my cabs in the autoinstall folder on the memory card
Try to post in the specific thread for the ROM you are using. Better chances of help there!

I successfully upgraded from WM2003 to WM2005 some months ago. I'd now like to upgrade again to TuMa 1.3. Currently my existing rom is 5.03.02 and it crashes quite regularly - especially if people call me.
Anyway, I've been reading through the wiki and a lot of the threads again but there's one thing I can't seem to understand. It seems as if upgrading requires an SD card? Is this the case?
Now, before I'm accused of not reading the documentation, I have and it quite clearly states, "copy the EXTROM folder to your storage card". That's fine and well but I've never had an SD card so how did I manage the first upgrade?
What I've been trying to find out (with little success) is if "storage card" is like the ROM storage area but before I flash my SPV M2000 into a very expensive paperweight I thought I'd better check. Better safe than sorry I guess.
Can someone confirm?
no sd card
i've got a spv m2000 and no sd card but i've managed to upgrade to tuma 1.3 no problem i just copied the extrom to the storage on the phone got less storage now but still works fine

Do you remember where you copied it to? Was it the root directory or just in My Documents?
My worry is I'll copy it somewhere that the install program won't be looking. In the documentation it explicitly states "storage card/EXTROM". It'd be just my luck to copy to the files to the root of my device - try to flash it and having it fail because it couldn't find the image files.
You seriously don't have an SD Card?!
Go to a store, buy a 128 MB one for nearly nothing. Honestly, I can't imagine running a Windows Mobile device without one, especially Windows Mobile 5. There just isn't enough space natively in the device.
You don't technically NEED anything in the EXTROM folder either. Alternatively, you can just take all of its contents (cab files) and put them on your device using activesync, and run them in File Explorer to install them. It's the same thing, just not automatic.

I've not had the need to use much memory on the phone really.
When I had an iPAQ I needed loads of memory and was always using it everywhere but I've found the SPV to be very slow (hopefully improved with the new ROM) and also the headphone socket is proprietary so I can't use headphones that fit my ears that don't fall out.
As well as this, I no longer use Windows - well I use my gf's laptop to flash the phone but that's about it. There's very little integration with Unix and the SPV and it's led to a dramatic reduction of usage.
I've heard of some programs that can sync with Evolution on Unix but they're very unstable at the moment and require quite some understanding to get working and I don't have the time to get that working just yet - maybe in a few weeks time.
I've already ordered an SD card but was just a little excited about the prospect of flashing the ROM (it's like Christmas morning for me!) and was wondering if I could do it without it.
Anyway, running the cabs one by one sounds like a solution for the time being. I thought it needed to replace parts of the sub-system that needed a hard reset no?
Once the ROM is flashed, will Device Information reflect the ROM Version as WM5 5.1.1700?
There is no problem to flash this rom without SD card, because you can install manually every cab from extrom after flashing

Thanks xplode.
I've worked out that the cabs are completely independent of the ROM update and as such don't even need to be on the device.
I thought they were like install files and needed to be present after reboot for the flashing to complete properly. My mistake.
Hi,
When I install something onto my Vario from my PC it automatically installs in the default location.
On my other PDA I get the choice, how come I don't with my Vario, and how can I install something to my mini SD?
Thanks all,
Thought I had sorted it, but no.
Any ideas, I want to install TomTom but don't have enough room.

Does the Vario use WM 2003? If so that is why everything from a PC install goes to main memory. Do a search, there is a cab installer program somewhere that you can put on your Vario that will allow you to select where you want to install.

Naa it uses WM5, my Axim uses WM2003SE and that asks.
Will do a search for the cab thanks.
Well the thing is, tomtom HAS to be installed to the device i guess. I always install tomtom naviagator 6.02 (with the todayscreen plugin). It comes up with where I wish to install it, sd card or the device. Of course i select the sd card, but nevertheless it installs in the device. I've tested it with several roms, and also with the WM6 rom. Problem is still there, so i guess it's not a bug but a feature, haha.

you can move the executables to the SD card and it will work... just move the navigator directory from program files to sd program files, make a link to it, and everything works... as for TT5 and TT6, have both installed on SD card. And also you can remove those TTODAY files from root dir if not using the TT today screen, and also all the files for contact navigation if you dont use that. At the end only the executable dir has to be somewhere.

PLEASE WRITE YOUR REVIEWS AFTER DOWNLOADING THE DRIVER
you are still have strong spirit to try SDHC card
Yup..even though i dnt have a SDHC card.but im planning on buying it
Not working
Not working for me. Besides, all those SDHC posts contain drivers that are different then on my Hima. The cab contains SDMemory.dll and SDBus.dll while my original drivers are SDMemory.dll and SDBusDriver.dll.
I adapted my registry to correct this difference, but that didn't help. No more Storage Card at all.
My guess is that it is not for normal SD but for micro SD, hence the different bus drivers.
For the record: I'm using the 7.0c of c_shekhar.
New link is also not working. Again not even after changing registry.
hmmmm....well lets see if some one else also comments abt it..

IMHO changing the file names would be a better way to try than changing registry.
@rvdrijt
Did u follow the instructions written at top
Yes. And then I had no more Storage Card link.
So then I tried hacking my reg, also without good results.
@Maggy
I've tried that before, but I could not remove the old SDBusDriver.dll. That's why I tried changing the reg. Any idea on how to remove the old one and then rename the new?
this might sound like a noob question,
over the universal forum they've figured out a working driver that supports at least an 8GB SDHC and I've tested it myself with a PQI 8GB and it works,
so I was just wondering if we can import that driver out to himalaya and make it work because from my understanding SDHC support is not based on the hardware rather than driver update for the device, and since it's been made for both WM5 and WM6/6.1 over there so technically it should work for our WM6 himalaya too, no?
just my 2 cents.
thanks..but the drivers are not the same..any way if you can attach the file maybe i will take a look..all the drivers i have tested just remove your atm functioning SD cards drivers also
This should be the latest SD driver that was used in Ranju's WM6.1 ROM,
but in case it's different, you might wanna take a look at the cooked ROM yourself as I'm not experienced with that.

is there any other way to do hard reset i mean programmcally or any other means
or jst replace the sd drivers
plz help
I think sk-tools can do a hard reset by software, maybe memmaid to, I don't know it exactly. But sk-tools I´m sure.
hi any free tool
plz
Even if sktool is unregistered, this function isn't restricted, as I remember.
Hi thanx
yeah thast right just need to highlight at the beggning for hardreset
so i did hardreset
now problem not gone away no sd card at all
so now what should i do
while hardreset push Camera and Recordbutten to get the early Bootmenu.
With Recordbutten you can select the Item and with Camerabutton you change status.
It should set to
NO
YES
YES
then push the Navbutton in some Direction.
This should erase all usersettings

Hi!
First, sorry my poor english.
Im flashed the new AthineOS 3.2, and cant do the Card Export2 or WM5torage to work.
The message of new hardware appears on windows, shows "Mass Storage Media Device", but dont appear on Windows Explorer.
When i disconnect the cable, windows explorer show one removable device for 2 seconds more or less, but this device does not contain the name of my card.
What is happening? My card works well when i put in a usb memory reader.
Thanks a lot for the help!!
Paulo Alexandre
It's known WM5torage is dodgy, but CardExport should work. You should search that ROM's thread for other reports of this problem and/or post there as it's most likely related to the ROM.
Thanks man.
Will search on a AthineOS 3.2 Thread.
I have this problem only after the flashing... before the Athine i used one Dutty 6.0 Rom, and i liked.
have a Dutty WM 6.1 Rom?
Thanks!!!
This vis the official pay version of CorePlayer. It works on WinMo 6, 6.1 and 6.5.
Just download the cab file and either put it on an SD card or in your phone's memory. Once that is done just install it either to the SD card or the phone. Have fun this is totally free for those wondering. LOL
Just downloaded and installed no problems.
Works a peach!
Thanks!!
No warez on XDA first and final warning.
