WM 5.0 reinstallation - memory formating - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

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?

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.

not 100% sure what you mean here
but hardreset can be compared to putting the restore cd in your dell computer and let it rewind the whole system back to how it was when you got it
where softreset is like rebooting a computer
I saw the quote below on http://www.pocketpcmag.com/_archives/Jul05/winmobile5.asp
Therefore I wondered if a hard reset also reset the things mentioned below (I suppose it should be possible...).
Earlier a device hard reset didn't cleared the "persistent storage" however.
"Windows Mobile 5.0 supports “persistent storage,” which means that all of your personal data, user-installed applications, and updates are stored in non-volatile flash ROM memory. RAM is now reserved for running programs, just like it is on a desktop PC. You can no longer install applications in RAM. The big advantage is that you don’t loose your data, your installed programs, or your system configuration if your battery runs out of power."
LOL! buddy! you are to fast.. just relax, universal isnt yet released to public.

look at the picture in the button 2005 have an option where you deside if a hardreset should format the storage
Knowing anything about the "Clean registry hive" option?
try PM the guy who made the guide.....
this is what i found out:
* bootloader : light + power + reset
* bootmenu : camera + reset
* coldboot : power + resaet

Hard Reset doesn't reinstall ext rom cabs

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

Help with trusted certificates on WM5?

Could someone please help?
I have an XDA Exec (HTC UNIVERSAL) Ive been searching for days to a solution for this without avail and you guys seem to know what your talking about! Im very new to this and need a solution to this error when i try to install some applications and run them:
" X cannot be opened. Either it is not
signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be
found "
Is there any way you can disable this in WM5? my WM5 version is OS 5.1.1700 (Build 14354.0.1.1)
Or is there any way whatsoever you can get around this? please if anyone can help do let me know and post!!
Thankyou !!
Is your phone locked ?
It may be locked or your operator prevent installing all of 3d party applications. In this case reinstalling "clean" WM5 may help (I'm not sure though) - I'm only a newbie in WM5.
Another reason that application you run trying access trusted functions - like allocation of the physical memory. In this case I'm not sure what can be done - reinstallation of WM5 will not help.
Its unlocked! so if i re-install wm5 it wont say this when i install programs? i have tried resetting the phone and installing different roms but nothing works! is there any particular rom i should be looking to install? or anything i can put in the extended rom to install after a hard reset to sort this out? PLZ HELP!
I have had that problem, too and I was going crazy. Then I tried the following tweak but I do not really know why it should work, it just did:
in HKLM\System\ObjectStore is a reg key "RegistryType=1", which means Hive based registry.
When you set it to "RegistryType=0", which means FILE based registry, all changes you do in the registry will stay there also if you reboot with device's reset button...
BUT AFTER YOU CHANGE THIS VALUE, FIRST REBOOT HAS TO BE DONE WITH SOME SOFTWARE, NOT WITH THE RESET BUTTON.
Subsequent reboots can be done with reset button then. :lol:
there is another tweak that gets rid of the warning messages, but I did not use that one
really! which software could i use to reboot the phone??
also is resco registry okay to view and change this? it says registry type 0x0 (1) i have now changed it to 0x0 (0) is this correct? i performed a soft reset but im stil getting the error message! is this because i need to use software to reboot?
yep, the first soft reboot needs to be done with software. After that you can use the usual way again.
After I had done this I removed all "problem apps" and then reinstalled them and it worked.
What software did you use or could i use to reboot my ppc chuckchuck?

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

What is Soft Reset?
soft reset is by far the most common type of reset every PDA users will find, and often useful in solving small problems and strange behavior. When you perform a soft reset your PDA, you're basically causing the device to stop all things that are running, and restart - like rebooting a PC.
If you have programs open and enter data into the time you do a soft reset, you may lose the information you enter, but other than a soft reset does not affect any information you have stored on the PDA at all, and can be done quite safely.
Before performing a soft reset, I usually recommend backing up your data quickly, just to be on the safe side!
Instructions to do a soft reset usually can be found in the user manual that came with your PDA. In general, all you need to do is find the "reset hole" (which may be labeled), and press gently tip of a stylus or a bent paper clip into it. Doing push a small button on the device that triggers a soft reset, so you do not need a lot of pressure. If you are unsure, check with the manufacturer of your PDA!
What is a Hard Reset?
Sometimes also referred to as the "factory reset", a hard reset is the process very seriously, because it always do a hard reset will erase all data from your PDA and restore it to factory when it was originally purchased.
In general, only device manufacturer will suggest you ever do a hard reset, and even then only in the most dreadful circumstances! Even before considering a hard reset, you should always take a thorough backup of your data, and make sure you have a copy of it in a safe place.
Instructions to do a hard reset again usually found in the user guide for your PDA, but if not, you should contact the manufacturer of your PDA and they will be able to help ... but a hard reset should only be used as a last resort!
