sdkcerts.cab and hard reset differences.

Hi
Got a XDA Exec last week and then found these forums. A couple of questions which I hope someone can answer !
1. Where can I get a copy of sdkcerts.cab ( i want to install ozVGA) ? I have downloaded the whole SDK kit from Microsoft but it will not install on my pc (no visual studio).
2. After perfomiing a hard reset is there a difference in the following:
i) pressing the reset button after the initial setup (screen alignment, timezone, etc). No customization files processed
ii) choosing Corporate install after all the customization files have been processed
I have done (i) and when I go to Settings - System - Device Information the ExtRom version field is blank. Is this right ?
Thanks
rafa

Look in the "vga files here" thread and download the package linked. sdkcerts.cab is in there.

That's right, regarding the ExtendedROM. You get the version information only if you install the ExtROM. One of the files in ExtROM has VERSION in the file name, it is the file that puts the registry entry that defines the version of the ExtROM.
Regarding corporate mode, I'm not sure as I don't have O2 ROM.
Wellcome to the forums

No GSM, D 5.60.00 WWE? Whats that mean?

Well i tried to install WM6 and a screen with 4 BIG bold lines (from top to bottom Blue Green Red and this () yellow/tan color) and on the bottom line it has
No GSM
D 5.60.00 WWE
How do i fix this/whats wrong/WTF/ help please =/
EDIT: now i was messing around with the buttons and up came this,
(all options are selected no)
Boot Options:
Enable KITL__________NO
Clean Registry Hive ___NO
Format storage_______NO
Do i enable one of these or something? please help me...

Enable the last two and press the "envelop" button.
That should fix your problem

Extra question: are you sure your device is BlueAngel?

@up no im not, I didnt even know my phone had a name, Mine is a Audiovox PPC6600 but its the same pic as the blue angel, So i assumed it was.
Okay, I did what he said, and then my screen went white, after a few of waiting it was still white so i did a soft reset, and now its at the same spot.

Big problem right there! I think you just bricked your phone
The ROMs you find here are for GSM phones and yours is CDMA. Currently there are no wm6 ROMs or wm5 ROMs available for CDMA phones, some people were working on a wm5 but I don't know if they released it.
To fix your phone you may try to put it in bootloader again and try to flash it with an original ROM.
Good luck!

This "No GSM" made me think. So we have another gotcha and Harrier (this is your device, xXBuddahXx) probably saved

Ok what now? did i really BIRCK my phone? Im confused Jakubd is there a way to fix it? i hope so or that smiley face is really mean. Im a huge noob to this crap (im only 16 and this is my first pda/phone thing) So again please have patience with me, Bootloader mode is the record/cam/power/reset thing right? What do i do after that? Can any of you give me some links or a step by step tut? I dont want to screw it up any more than it is if i can fix it...

Boot Loader Mode
You can enter or exit bootloader mode by pressing the camera button, power button and then the reset button and hold for a few seconds.
If the above won't work, this worked for me (thanks to all the gurus in the forum): press and hold power+record+camera the same time and then reset

Here you can find the correct ROM for it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=764778#105710
If you can get into bootloader mode you're fine, you didn't brick it.

Thank u thank u thank u Hey quick question, When i install this do i have to put it in bootloader mode first? and When i install this will it return it to factory settings? Because i flashed it from VZW to Cricket

You'll have to put your phone in bootloader mode before you install the update.
After the installation is done, you will need to hardreset it.
When the upgrade is completed, you must perform a Hard Reset
1.
Press and hold the "Power" button, and then press the Reset Button. Colored stripes (the bootscreen) will appear on the screen.
*
If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc, EITHER:
o Quickly press "Record" & "Camera" before the versions appear at bottom right
o OR press "Power" & "Camera" & "Record" buttons and Reset at the same time
*
If you have a PH20B1 device such as SX66:
o Quickly press "Record" & "Windows Media" before the versions appear at bottom right EITHER
o OR press "Power" & "Windows Media" & "Record" buttons and Reset at the same time
2.
You'll see three options on screen. You must change the second and the third to yes. If you are not developing/testing software you can disable the first debug option for better performance.
* If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc, use "Camera" and the "Record" buttons.
* If you have a PH20B1 device such as SX66, use "Windows Media" and the "Record" buttons.
* Note: The "Record" button moves up and down the menu and the "Camera" button toggles Yes/No. When you're done, press the button in the middle of the D-Pad to continue booting.
3. Press the "Mail" button. A white screen will show for 30 seconds, while it is clearing your device in preparation for the new ROM to start executing
4. When the bootscreen, aka. the colored stripes is displayed, wait more, you are booting. The welcome screen to set up your device will appear shortly

If you still that ROM (that you flashed from VZW to Cricket) then use it.

Well, it didnt take a rom to flash it i just uploaded a prl and Changed my Min and NID/SID numbers... is it still okay to use the one that was listed, or do i have to download a special one for VZW?
And thank you so much man, you really saved me! I would rep ya if i could!
Also is there a website That is for CDMA phones like this one, and does mine have a cool name like blue angel or somthing (it sucks when i tell my friends that i have a Audiovox PPC6600 Gee Wiz!)

Your phone is a blueangel, it just have a different hardware for the phone part (PH20A3) and because of that your phone "cool" name is Harrier.
You'll probably have to stick with wm2003 as I don't believe that they have a wm5 or wm6 for your hardware. Here is a link with more information and people trying to make wm5 for the cdma: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=244441
For the update, download it from verizon: http://support.vzw.com/how_to_use/bba_device_update.html
There are 2 versions, one for a phone with camera and for phones without camera.

Error 120 country ID error 56-56-8-8-8
Im guessing i download say the eruopian version or somthing? where would i find this on the USA site or something?

I found this on the verizon website here in the USA.
1. Download update to desktop
2. Unrar or unzip all files in exe or rar into a new folder
3. Open the folder with the extracted files
4. Download this file: MaUpgradeUt_noID.ZIP
5. Extract MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe from this file and place it with the other upgrade files.
6. Run this new exe file instead of BaUpgradeUt.exe to update your rom
7. If you get an error the first time, run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe again without touching your device (don't take it out from the cradle, don't reset it, don't touch it at all!)
8. If you get the same error kill from Task Manager these two process: wcescomm.exe and rapimgr.exe and then retry running MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
9. If the seems to hang forever the "Getting the information...", put your device into Bootloader mode by pressing and hold the "Power" & "Record" buttons, and then press the Reset Button. and run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe again

This application has failed to start because RUU.dll was not found. Re Installing the application may fix this problem. I didnt even install it, its just an exe =/ soooo close!

You're not reading the instructions dude.
First you donwload the update from the verizon website
Then you use winrar or winzip to extract all the files from the archive to a folder
Now copy the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe (wich you extracted from the zip file) to the same folder
Run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and you should be fine

Sorry man, i know i must be getting annoying =/. But i cant find the update to download from the website :S

Ok... after 1/2 hour uploading I got two files for you:
If your phone have a camera:
HA_VZW_207_117_01167_A12.rar (37.98 MB)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=W2M60157
If your phone don't have a camera:
HA_VZW_207_118_01167_A12.rar (37.67 MB)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=033DU3IA
Just download the correct file, extract it using winrar, put your phone in bootloader mode and run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
Good luck!

THANK YOU OH SO MUCH!!!! Man, is there ANYTHING i can do for you??

Help others.

WM 6.1 missing functions

Hello,
I have upgraded my Q2020 (T-Mobile MDA) with new rom PDAVIET_ROM_WM61_OS19213_HIMA_SONBLACK
After boot I saw strange info that following SW do not work.
1. psShutXP
2. BTIcon
3. USSD
4. SMS Reciver
5. plm_traylnch_182
6. PhoneService
7. IMSartup
8. pBar
The worst thing is that I cant use Contacts - it does not work
I hade the same situation when I used ROM: 6.1.2a16CS (WM6.1 AKU 1.0)
Could you help me to solve those problems, and find right rom for my PDA ?
rozkwit

did you do the last step in the flashguide where it tells you to
choose yes to clear register hive and clear storage?
if not do that

No,
I just install new rom on the boot mode, and restart it after.
Could you provide me instruction how to install WM6.1 correctly?
Piotr

works
I clear register after installation I works properly.
Many thx for your help
Piotr

Hello, I have the same probleme ! COuld you telle me how doing this ? Because I don't understand !
Great Thanks my friend

Now you have to hardreset your device.
Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.
Select the options as follows:
(for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES

Thanks for your answer,
But, my pda is not an HTC, but a MIO.
I use the hermes kitchne whiwh is compatible for my MIO.
So there is a problem on the rom !
Any idea ?
Great Thanks !

this is how it's don with htc himalaya dont know how MIO devices clear storage and registry but if wm5 and or wm6 was made for it
it have to be able to do it somehow

I had this issue when i was being lazy and not reading the instructions fully with my Himalaya. It only seemed to happen when going from one WM6 ROM to another and the, not so quick, fix was to flash back to the WM2003 each time.
Reading the instructions properly means i no longer have to do this.
Might work for you.

keypath and comm. mngr dissapear after one second

Spent several hours to find a thread but coul not find it . I got a new X01HT from Hong Kong that was flashed to English. All seemed to work fine but now when I push the video call button or the comm. mngr button I can see the screen for about one second and than it dissapears and the screen goes back into the start mode. This make it very difficult to make a call and that is what the unit suppose to do. Also when I try to open a picture from the storage card it open for aout one second and goes back in the file mode where I can see all the other picture files. Any suggestion will be appreciated i
The specs of my unit are:
Rom: 3.54.707.3
Romdate: 07/05/07
Radio version: 1.47.00.10
Protocol: 32.80.7020.20H
WM 6 build 17944.0.3.1
IMEI: 35315101635
Storage card 2 GB
I have already done a softreset and several times a hard reset and after that a sync with PC. but no good result. Also tried to check what SPL is on the unit and pushed OK + power + reset but could not see any SPL info. Just saw
M 05
S 04
B 06 and in the middle D.3.54
In a flash I also saw some other information but that was to short to see what that was.
Thanks for any feedback
Ruud

In correspondance with cosmicgate, i decided to post our guide on how to upgrade here, to avoid question further questions about that:
THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE SUITABLE FOR WINDOWS XP COMPUTERS ONLY!!!
For people running WM5/6x but with 43MB of storage:
You have to downgrade to WM2003 and here's how to do that:
1. Download this Windows Mobile 2003 SE rom:
Download from Rapidshare
Download from Uploaded.to
and extract it to a folder of your choice.
2. Remove both the the SIM card and the sd card
3. Put the device into Bootloader Mode, pressing power+record and reset
4. your device display shows Serial v2.0x
5. on the pc (running Windows XP!) open the Task manager, go to the 2nd tab (Processes) and kill "wcescomm.exe" and "WCSEMgr.exe"
6. Now let's start the actual Upgrade:
7. Navigate to the Upgrade folder
8. Start Maupgradeut_noid
9. If in the 2nd window the rom version is not shown, something went wrong, start over!
10. Then start the upgrade and you should see a progress bar, also look at the device's display, it should also show the progress.
11. After it finishes perform a "WM2003 hard reset" by pressing power and reset
12. wait for the extrom to finish
13. now you can re-insert your sim and sd card (if you are planning to go on from here, you can also leave them out).
14. proceed with "For devices running wm2003"
For devices running wm2003:
1. Copy repart_doc.exe and the unlocker cab to the device and install the unlocker. In the start menu you will find a folder named "Extrom Tool".
2. Click "unhide" (if you are getting an error message, proceed with 2.a, else with 3.)
2.a the unlocker installs into the standard folder for program files, which depends on the rom language can be "\programme" or "\programmes" etc.
2.b the link in the start menu always points to "\program files"
2.c the easiest way, to solve that, is to rename your program files folder to "\program files"
2.d that destroys parts of the system, but doesn't matter because it is just needed for unlocking
2.e since now the link location should be correct, proceed with step 3.
3. Click "unlock", maybe a soft reset is needed.
4. Start repart_doc.exe
5. Set the future size, if not pre-entered, to 128kb (smallest possible partition size on this file system)
6. Click "Format now!"
7. Soft reset
8. Go back to the Extrom Tools
9. "Lock"
10. "Hide"
11. Now proceed with "Upgrading a WM5/6 device"
Upgrading a WM5/6 device
1. Remove both the the SIM card and the sd card
2. Put the device into Bootloader Mode, pressing power+record and reset
3. your device display shows Serial v2.0x
4. on the pc (running Windows XP!) open the Task manager, go to the 2nd tab (Processes) and kill "wcescomm.exe" and "WCSEMgr.exe"
5. Now let's start the actual Upgrade:
5.a copy the downloaded nk.nbf to any given folder, let's call it Upgrade 28008
5.b copy the contents of this package to the same folder: MAupgradeUt_noID
5.c Start MAupgradeut_noID
6. If in the 2nd window the rom version is not shown, something went wrong, start over!
7. Then start the upgrade and you should see a progress bar, also look at the device's display, it should also show the progress.
8. After finishing, take the device out of the cradle take out the battery and insert the SIM card
9. copy the EXTROM folder to the sd card and insert the sd card
10. Hard reset the device, pressing reset+power and record+camera and in the menu, that appears set:
Enable_Kitl: NO
Clean Registry Hive: YES
Format Storage: YES
using the camera and record buttons.
11. press the mail button to confirm your selection.
12. your device starts for the first time, you align the screen and let the extrom install, it soft resets and your device is ready to use

Special thanx to d tow and chef tony
I will try it.

Synchronization does not work Microsoft ActiveSync Thank you Chef_Tony

what exactly does not work for you, i tested the sync with contacts, tasks, favorites and appointments and it all works out fine so far.
did you hard reset your device after upgrading, did you delete the old sync profile, set up a new one and set the content settings right?

changed 1st post

when using Lanscape mode, and at the restart, the screen will return to Potrait with a touch screen that does not irregular like the R71's Xplode. but it was not my experience on the d-two ROM version 1 (WM6.5.1 build 23052). try to use the method Lanscape then restart, then you will experience it.

This solved the input settings problem:
Remove the "Redirect" value under the following keys:
