Hard Reset doesn't reinstall ext rom cabs - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

Hello there,
just wanted a fresh start with wm5 after recieving my 1gb minisd. because i didn't got the hardreset by pressing the buttons to work i used clean storage to hard reset, but afterwards it asks for calibration and timezone settings but doesn't install the cabs in the extrom. does someone know why and how i can fix this?

Ok, found out how hard reset by presing the buttons on the device works. But it's the same thing. Windows Mobile 5.0 setup starts (time zone and popup menu howto) but after this it says setup is completed and returns to the today screen.
But The cabs in the extended rom are stil there. I never touched them but copied the as backup to my pc. I#m able to manually install them when unlocking but they do not install by default. Why?

Can someone of the german XDA mini S users send me a copy of their original ext rom? I'm completly confused why my device ignores the complete cabs and autoexec from ext rom

hello there,
just inspected my extended rom a little further. There is no config.txt. I may have accidentially deleted this file.
Can someone who own a GERMAN O2 XDA mini S send me hiw original config.txt?
Thanks in Advance,
Maui

You've tried unlocking the extended ROM using the tools on this site haven't you. They don't wirk unfortunately, all they do is lock the storage so you can't write to it and unfortunately hard resets don't work. I know, I did it when I knew nothing about these devices as well. Have a look at this tool by Gorosz:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=147439
Also if you are not in the UK, this ROM may be better for you:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_Ext-1.11.162_Radio-1.04_O2stuffstripped.rar
Good luck,
Pug.
Thx Pug,i can fix my O2 error.I uesd exttools_modified_alpine to unlock the Stogare and delete all files in Storage.After that,i Up Rom again and everything is good.
Anyone have the same error with me can do that:
1.Open the registry->HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->System->StogareManager->Profiles>TRUEFFS_DOC->
rename "Stogare" to another name(e.x: "hello")
2.SR->used exttools_modified_alpine to unlock Extrom Rom
3.Go to the folder using File Explorer to delete all files in folder that you rename (e.x: "hello")
4.Rename that folder (hello) to Storage again and SR
5.Up Rom again and everything will good.
Thx for a friend in VN help me fix this problem and thx for Pug much.
Hi Pug,
I need your help buddy. I bought Alpine (PDA2) and it was so cool. Now I have a problem that its touchpad is not working anymore. PDA is working fine but no more touchpad. I didnt drop it at all. Let me tell you what happened.
I used permanent save function to save my contact list. It saved the contacts and then it happened. After some time a window showed up "Contact syncronizing" and after that touchpad didnt work.
I have replaced different ROMs since then, every update has completed successfully but touchpad is not working. Can you guide me what to do ? I am sure somehow touchpad has become disabled (not hardware problem) is there any pc utility which can link with it ??? Pls help
Qbukhari.
Can you align the screen at all after a hard reset or rom update? If not it's a hardware problem and the touchpad needs replacing. Possibly the connector from the screen to the m/board has come loose, unlikely though.
The only problem I have found that survived a hard reset was a locked storage.
But may i have attention plz

WM 5.0 reinstallation - memory formating

On my O2 Atom my WM 5.0 installation is corrupted. When I reinstall the latest ROM on that unit the behavior stays corrupted.
On a second unit I have installed the same ROM and everything is working fine.
The problem that I have is that all applications I install give me a message that the author is not know or that these are not PPC applications but only after the first soft reset.
Questions:
Is there a way to ensure that the memory that holds WM 5.0 in the device is working correctly :?: Is there a way to format this memory :?: Does a reinstall of the latest ROM really erase all of the old ROM bits and pieces :?:
thanks for your help, I am aware that the atom is not and xda but I am also aware the you guys are the most profesional community out there.
chuckchuck: on the Universal and Wizard, we have a tool built in called ClearStorage, that is the equivalent of a hardreset, wiping out all memory. Does the atom have a similar app?
V
vijay555 I have not found such a file on the atom or function on the atom. Would there be a software tool out there that could do it ?
I am a bit puzzled, I always thought that after a ROM install all the old stuff is out the window. This might still be the case but then I guess it would be the memory that is bad.
Hard reset Atom
Try hard resetting the Atom.
With the Atom off, use the stylus to press the reset key at the bottom while at the same time pressing the power-on button.
You will be prompted if you want to do a hard reset (warning - this clears all you device data so make sure you backup what you want first)
press both the "call" and "hangup" buttons and a hard reset will be done.
If you do nothing, after a short while it times out and a normal reset is done.
Thanks for the info, I have done that already, but what I was wondering is whether it is possible after such a hardreset that there will still be code left overs in the memory that could prevent a true clean install.

Problem, help please

I don't know what happend, but after I try to unlock and mount ext. rom, my device, keeps in the Orange startup screen for a while.
After that I must to do a hard reset, after the Install of programs (I supose from ext. rom) an error appears, saying The file: \extended_rom\autorun.exe does not exist. After that I need to do a soft reset to use my device. All seem to be ok, except some things about orange (I'm using it for voda, so dont care)
If I try to mount & unlock the extended rom after the hard reset My screen goes to the orange startup screen and hang it there...
I don't know what I must do know to try to access to the extended rom.
Even If I tray to restore a backup, my device hangs in the same point.
Please help me, If you can.
My device is an SPV M3100 (unlocked with pof method since 15 days).
Thank you in advance
I have the contents of the extended rom, of a previous day that I do a backup:
AutoRun.exe
AutoRun.exe.0C0A.mui
Config.txt
HERMES_SP_28_08_2006.CAB
MT_PC_Hermes_OrangeRO_REG_060612.CAB
MT_Shortcut-MMS-Hermes.CAB
T_mm1lib_DLL.CAB
But I can't put this files, because when I try to unlock the ext rom my SPV hangs, and I need to hard reset it
Each time that I try to unlock the ext rom my device needs to be hard reset.
I have a friend with another device like this.
can I extract the rom from this device and upload to my device?

How to return to old windows mobile

Hi everybody , I have i-mate JASJAM with WM5 soon i'v upgraded to windows mobile diamond ,however I want to return to the old windows I mean the original one but I dont know how to do this , any help please??
Press Start -> Settings -> System -> Clear Storage, press enter to launch, you will be prompted to type "1234" and to press Enter. If you do this you will lose all contents and the Dash will be restored to its original configuration. It takes about 5 minutes for it do this and reboot.​
hold down the two soft keys and power the device on. Or you can also hold both soft buttons while pushing the stylus into the reset hole.
Not if mamadoharoona has updated the rom... Doing what DhaMajoR said will reset the Hermes to default BUT it uses the OS installed as the default. So, if you have flashed a new OS on your device you need to flash the WM05 stock rom to get that back, and good luck finding it...
Cheers...
Thank you DhaMajor , Ultramag69 is right the OS system does'nt change after applying your steps ,thats make me want to ask ULTRAMAG69 how can i flash the WM05 rom? I tried the same steps i have done with WM black diamond ,and the os still the same.
If you have any advice please tell me
Thank you for your interest
You need to find the WM05 flash file, good luck with that as they are as hard to find as hen's teeth if you didn't keep a copy of your original WM05 rom.
Make sure you have Hard SPL V7 on your Hermes and then flash the new rom. I use the sd card method as it seems safer to me, my opinion, and is REALLY easy.
1. Format 2Gb or less sd card FAT32. Copy .nbh file of new rom to it and rename to hermimg.nbh .
2. Put sd card into Hermes and reset Hermes into bootloader.
3. If 1st two steps done right, follow the prompts. If not, just reset to get out of bootloader, fix up what needs fixing and try again.
Cheers...
Thank you
Thank you very much

system brand files?

Hi!
I have a t-mobile branded pda, but after reinstalltion of the wm6 I just took the battery out, so the configuring was aborted and I have a "normal" wm6.
Where can I find the configuring files, so that I can install e.g. tomtom?
thx
Roland
just hard reset the device and the process will start once again
But I don't want my mobile to be t-mobile branded!
Isn't there a way to activate/install this tray?
Where are this brand-install-packages installed, so I could install only the one I need....
I found the solution
With the "Unlock Ext Rom Wizard.cab" I could see the Extended Rom and in it was the file I wanted to install.
