How 2 make a ROM UC-capable? - Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development

Hi folks.
1st sorry for my english, my school-english was long time ago
the Title of this threat says what's my question:
I've got a german ROM with it's kitchen. I added some different SDAutorun-packages of this Board, but no one works 100%.
The best result i get was my 1st attempt; the only problem was, that i must start the "sdautorun.exe" manually. The last attempt was also not bad, but after a few seconds in the UC-Mode the device makes a softreset, so only a part of the CAB-Files will get installed.
I think to solve my problem is not so difficult, but i'm not able to do it without help.
Many thanks in advance.
Ralfi.

Dont Panic
The first thing is... dont get panic with this.
Just do a soft reset,
put the device in the cradle with active sync on (dont worry of any message that comes on the PC),
double click on the ROM update file
Do the process again.
It will work now!!!

I dunno why ppl are doing the FIRST day a rom upgrade, firstly u should go over the upgrade posts and get familiar with the updates and how to do them. Sorry to say that mate but u deserved ur punishment.
Well since you can't play with your device try reading wiki.

hi there,
i'm also quite a newbie too, and i recently created a modified rom using Bal666's cool utility. i think i understand your problem with being unable to use the screen after a hard reset.
The problem is that the config.txt file runs a program called "tpdisable.exe" before installing the .cab files, to prevent users interfering with the install process. Simply delete this entry from config.txt in your extended rom image and burn again!
hope this helps!
thanx i will try and post u how it goes

PC crashed while updating ROM
does this make any difference - i've re-booted my laptop and am currently sat on the checking device info screen, how long does it take to check as its been a good 30 mins now..
any help appreciated
Put your device into bootloader mode before you try updating it, it might work a little better.
Remove the entries for tpenable and tpdisable from the config file and the rom itself.
If you want to stop those "This program is designed for...." screens, download WinCE CAB Manager and change the min and max OS versions to 4.21 and 5 respectively on the cabs you are putting into your extended rom.
Good luck.
HI pug thanks for reply, I have a question here...
When installing programs from ROM, some programs may need pressing "OK" to continue. Is there anyway this can be done automatically or can anything be changed in the cab file so we can stop that screen from comming up????
Any help apperciated.
Thanx in advance
Sorry PUG i think u already answered my question SORRY
changing the min and max os ver. with wince cab manager didn't work.probably b'coz the os detect the source build in version, not the cab version.

this concludes the beta test...

Hello all,
first, a big thanks to all the rom developers around. You transformed my Diamond in a usable and enjoyable tool.
What happened to me tonight is very frightening. In fact, I cannot believe what happened.
And this is the story: I was at a birthday party and later in the evening I checked my phone : it seemed to have frozen, so I rebooted it as I do sometimes when I have no other choice. But this time something strange happened : I got the following message "this concludes the beta test of this software release. thank you very much for your time and effort in helping make this a great product for our customers" - what the ... ? No way to make a call, the message is impossible to remove... completely blocked !!!
I don't remember exactly the rom I flashed last because I sometimes change. It might be a dutty's release (75%M sure) - anyway I was in a very bad situation because my wife wasn't feeling well and I couldn't call her without finally borrowing a phone from someone.
I will flash a new rom tomorrow and I hope that the message will disappear but I can tell you that it is a very strange feeling when suddenly your phone refuses to operate normally. It's a nightmare.
I hope that someone has an explanation for this because I don't want to go trough this situation ever again, it's just so annoying to have a phone which tells you "No you can't use me; your trial period has expired" when you need it he most.
Thank you for your opinions in advance
Have you tried a hard reset?
Yep same problem here.
Using duttys 1.93 - Can't get to his website either.
Hard rest does not work - had to reflash back to branded (Telstra) ROM
i'm having the exact problem right now, what can i do to fix this? someone told me to reflash it but how? i'm VERY new to the diamond
hardreset does not work
I bought the phone from a person so it's second hand. The seller did mention he updated the ROM, I'm assuming this is the cause of the problem? help please
thanks!
I am getting the exact same problem.I do not know what to do.
Sigh and since my computer will not sync, I cannot reflash it. Hard set is also a no go.
ya I cant sync it with my computer either... i'm searching other sections on this forum and I cant seem to find one that teaches you how to flash without syncing with the computer
OK i got it well kinda sorta. If you hard reset and just use the date taht dutty had then your phone will load. Do not correct the date and you should also change the date on your computer so that it wont sync. Then donwload his new rom or whatever rom you prefer and then flash it. Then change the dates back. It worked for me.
thanks.. do you have the link for the new rom?
I'm going to give it a try
The link it dutt'y new rom is here http://rapidshare.com/files/162091111/Ruu_Signed_duttys_diamond__V2.9_5_2_20275_RTM_Full_MSVC.zip
just a question how do you flash it?
can you help me? i'm very new to this phone
I had the same problem last night- expired beta software. If I do a hard reset I believe I will loose all the info on the phone, is that correct?
I was thinking that changing the date will work, is there another way to change the date without having to loose the info?
Someone has a reliable link to an instruction on how to flash the ROM?
I am also using throy 2.3, to find the latest release please go to WWW.DUTTYTHROY.NET
Any help appreciated.
!everyone! you can flash roms from bootloader. hold volume down and the little red reset button, keep holding vol down untill bootloader. at the tri color screen, run ruu from host pc. everything will be fine with this method. just like activesync.
ok i to change the time and stuff and it actually can sync using active sync.. however.. when tried to install HSPL 1.24 after the part where the phone will turn black.. i click on the DiamondCustomRUU as instructed
but it says this "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). CLick on OK to terminate the application"
Is there a way I can recover this without losing all that is on my phone?
Do anybody know the password for the latest ROM 2.9 from Dutty? His page is unavailable right now....
Duttys V2.9 RTM Finale
someone please tell me how to flash.. from scratch? i hard reset my phone.. and i cant get HSPL to work. When i install the activesync way, the black screen turns on then i cant open DiamondCustomRUU
if i do i the bootloader way, when i connect from the three colour screen it cant pick up the phone because it says i'm missing Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM
please help been stuck for hours already
i won't flash Duttys ROM again!!! Right now i need my phone and it doesn't work! And if i reflash it i lose my data....
never again!
its you have a problem with duttys rom
you need to use his thread to point out your problems....
not this one.

Restore device to OEM without touchscreen

Hello out there.....
First of all i have to say THX to all these people which are really willing to help every1 with their great tutorials. Ive used alot of them already. Thanks.
And i have to say sorry for my english language, due Im german and i left school behind long time ago. I'm really taken pains to write this comment.
Now, in my case ive tried to restore my device (Xperia X1i) to OEM status step by step as its shown in this thread.
My worst issue is that my touchscreen aint work anymore after i flashed a custom ROM and that i got stock at the point where the ROM wants to configure the OS like "Tap the screen to continue with configuration".
Ive tried to flash way too much ROMs using HardSPL but the touchscreen wont let me do anything - no reaction.
So how can I restore the bootloader (SPL) on my device, when my touchscreen aint work? How can I take the following step without any working ROM ?
sirsycho said:
12. Run SSPL.KAIS.exe from your phone (make sure you do this on your actual device and not your PC)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I do not know what I did wrong, that the screen wont react anymore, but im sure that the SPL is the cause for this disaster.
I'm really desperate couz i already have sent the device to the SE Support, where they told me that there is an "extraneous" on my device although ive flashed the Stock ROM firstly... there was still something that bothered them...
After i got the device back the touchscreen worked again as funny, allthough the support did nothing on the device as they said in the delivery.
A bit skeptical but with alot of happiness i kept on flashing some ROMs after that.
Now, after i found a good ROM and kept this one on my device for some days the screen doesnt work again.....
This is what my bootloader says right now
Code:
KOVS110
SPL-0.72.OliNex
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
....seems like the HardSPL is still there......
Honistly i had to apollogize (maybe too late) that this part of using a cellphone (flashing a ROM using HardSPL etc.) is a big fish and that ive underrated it. Now i have a 400$-Device which aint work anymore
Ive read like all Tutorials here at xda-devs containing something about flashing a ROM or informations about SPLs; tried everything
I feel like im lost and fu**ed right now....
Is there any1 can help me with my problem?
Hopefully there is.....i pray for him
first flash a stock rom
then just run the hard-spl exe, and replace the ruu_signed.nbh file
why are you trying to use kaiser spl?
use the things found in the hardspl sticky in the xperia section
Wrong Tutorial
You're using tutorial for wrong device (HTC Kaiser)
The correct tutorial is in first post (extra how to: how to restore Stock SPL for warranty reasons.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
But before restoring original hardspl you should flash with original rom found in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475482
wow thanks for your answers !!
i never thought ill get response.
Its really weird that i havnt found that tut before bcuz i was looking through whole board.
I will try do that tomorrow.
I hope that it will work then. Don't wanna pay 300$ for a new device
Else there is mtty to restore the bootloader
Aight i have done the steps showing in the tutorial.
1. I have flashed teh Stock ROM (R2A german - Vodafone)
2. I've used the RUU with the stockSPL given in that post.
Now my tricolour screen shows the following
Code:
KOVS110
SPL-0.72.0000
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
This is what it shall looks like OliNex said.
I hope this is all i had to do, to make use of my device's guarantee, cuz the touchscreen still doesnt work
Seems like i really have to send my Xperia to the Support again (now hopefully with a ROM + SPL they wont reject)
But if i send my device with "extraneous" again i have to pay another 15€ just for let them do a costs estimate -.-
I would like to get a reply before i make use of the support again.
Thanks for all your help
Glad to hear recovering to stock rom + spl worked out.
Your touchscreen doesn't work when you have booted up windows?
If that's correct then I suggest to send in the device for service. Although
it might not help I suggest updating your device with SE updating service (SEUS) first.
After the flash remove the battery for 10 seconds, then turn it on.
Hope it helps and otherwise servicing the device is free of charges
Haha!
That's what im doing right now, using SEUS
Thanks for the tip with the battery but i already tried that way too often
Edit:
Ok, touchscreen still aint work....
Time to contact the support...at 11:45 PM **WOOT
nvm....Ill wait till tomorrow
gn8 and thanks for helping me with my issue ^^
a few days ago I returned my silver X1 for the same issue, my touch screen (digitizer) doesn't work. Then right in front of SE support person, he justed took out the battery and rebooted. Then it worked. The thing is, I did the same thing several times earlier that day and it did NOT worked. I am worrying of getting the same problem again and I only have until november 30th until my 1 year warranty expires. I haven't tried any cooked roms and it is because of warranty purpose. Altough I'm not new to custom roms since I own an Alpine and a Prophet. I've been here for some time now.
The thing that holds me back testing cooked roms on my Xperia is the aftermath if in case my device goes half-dead. I almost always read the restoring on to official roms everytime I get here, but still the thousand dollar spent on my phone's tag price comes with a fear of who's gonna rescue if my phone won't work. And to add that spare parts aren't available here as of the moment. And yes I'm eager and very curious about almost everyone saying cooked 6.5 is faster than stock roms but though I haven't tested it I have to disagree for now on my case basis.
First, my Xperia doesn't come with a carrier lock. It's locally called "open line" in my country I guess technically called debranding. Then my phone has the generic r3a rom via seus I think it's generic uk. Lastly, for some reasons, the touchflo 3d doesn't work with my device I've tried it since r1 firmware time. Some response told me to unlock-debrand my phone first but I dont have to since it isn't locked. Still installing tf3d makes my phone hang, doesn't uninstall, doesn't show in the themes list if installed as a theme, and doesn't let me have another panel since it always stay as tf3d whenever I choose another one. And it is very unstable in my device. These happened even if I install it as a panel.
I feel handsets here are faster than handsets that are locked by a carrier so I'm thinking again since for now, my Xperia works for me as stock as it is.

Auto-hard resetting...

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-
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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"!
