I just hard reset my magician. Since i'm using big storage (my friend did it), only some of the cab files from extended_rom are installed. Now i just found out that my smart dialing, MMS, O2 plus are not included. It was easy to recover those programs since i know the cab files.
However, i cant find the right cab for "Running Programs". Does anyone know which one? Thx.
Sorry for the bad language
Running programs - do you mean in Settings > system > memory > running programs?
If you need a task killer I can send you one or there's many around.

That's the one. Thx . So actually it's not a stand-alone program. Yes i found the running programs.
So, the question is changed now. I need the shortcut to that program. Usually magician has the blue box icon with a picture of someone running. Do you know the shortcut?
Thx.
Just tried to restore that icon from my old backup before it crashed. I thought it was just only a link to some program. But it is not! It is an exe file and after i restored it, click the Running Programs, it says "Error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename".
Any clues?
My Running Programs app is in the "default_103133" CAB file from my Mini. I run this file after hard reset.
What does that file do? Just open up the running programs control panel?
If you need it back, just type the following into a text file on your PPC
Code:
22#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2
and save it as Memory.lnk
Then double click on that file.
Tell me if it works ok.

@vijay
i just wanna return my magician to the default system . that's why i'm so curious to get back that program.
@ampda
i'll try that file. thx for the info.
I can post my CAB file but it will also add the O2 xda defaults that can with the Aussie unit

Thats right....just install that cab file "default_103133.cab" and you will have your Running Programs app back....that is, if you saved your Ext ROM files before doing the Big Storage patch, or someone can attach that cab file here.
Now my problem is (sorry this might be Off-topic) , how can I have back the AUTOCONFIG for different Telcos, (especially Asian) ? Its also gone after the Big Storage patch. I dont know which of the cab files I need to have it back
anyone have idea or is there a forum for this in Magician?
thanks...
THANK YOU!!! finally i can access my running programs.
anyway, ive another question . let's say i want that program to be installed automatically after I hard reset. how can you do that? so i do not have to restore them manually from my sd card. thx.

To get the menu and icon run O2Auto.sa.CAB, then install the telco(s) you want to be in the autoconfiq menu.
@nsriza, thanks!!! As simple as this, and I can have my Autoconfig back already?
I thought I need to manually edit the autoconfig.txt to change the paths of the cab files?
Btw, I have already installed the cab files for all the Telcos that I need....but not the O2Auto.sa.CAB yet. Is it okay if I install that O2Auto then install again the Telco cabs?
Thanks...
So has anyone knew how to setup auto installation for cab files (eg. MMS, SmartDialing etc) after hard reset? thx
another OOT question...what does autoconfig.txt and config.txt do? and how to use it?
thx
Im assuming your asking for auto installation for after a hard reset using big storage. if you search for "AutoRUn" on this forum you should find a link on how to create an autorun folder on your storage card. you need the autorun.exe (Found in the search for the link) and a folder called 2577 created in the root directory of your storage card. then all you need to do is add all the CABs that you want to auto install after a HR to a ZIP (not Rar) archive and call that archive extROM.zip. then put that in your 2577 directory and hardreset and it will install all the files in the zip. if you havent already installed the cabs you put in the zip it will actually start installing them as soon as you insert the SD card. have a search around you will find lots of info about this subject.

@Speedn
thx for the suggestion. it's very helpful.
@rockafeller
hi i used big storage to convert my german rom (o2 xda mini) to wwe 1.12. now i lost some features like MMS,Smart dialling, Home zone control, O2plus. (as it was the case with you). It would be great if you could share here how did you get them back to work? i mean, i want the procedure to do so. i have a backup of my german rom.
one more question. i dont see the Phone pad option in my text input list after the bigstorage patch. how can i get it back. any suggestions would be so great..
thanx in advance

@visvaram
if you backup ur extended_ROM, u should able to find related cab files, such as MMS**.cab, SMARTDIALING**.cab. Just tap those files and it will be installed automatically. FYI, backup ur cab files first b4 installing.
Im not sure about O2plus and zone files. Anyone care to help?
Thanks to DriveTheory who posted a threat in the " larger dialerpad" post.
The trick is to kill the "cprog.exe" process. After that you can delete or change any rom file.
Please watch out and know what you are doing
To kill the "cprog.exe" process I use a Taskmanager for smartphones.
Like orneta taskmanager.
First soft reset, than open the taskmanager and kill the process.
After changing/deleting files, restart you device.
It worked on my Qtek with an I-mate rom, hope it will work on yours.
If you try this it is at your own risk!!!
When you want to change the startup screen look for welcomehead.96.png
If people know more files to play with please post them here
How to do it? I use PHM task manager, but cannot turn the "cprog.exe' down, How can I do it? I try to fix the qwertz problem in my Wizard, but I just cannot delete or change the rom file in my PPC!

PLEASE HELP!

PS: I'm searching also for an GERMAN QTEK 9100 Rom !!!!!! PLEASE !!!
Hello Peter,
Today I had the same problem with a dll file.
The trick probably won't work with dll files.
I'm not a computer genius so i don't no the answer or why it should work.
All my trick are just from playing around
I read somebody suggested to replace the 'cprog.exe' with other file (which rename to cprog.exe). I managed to replace the original program of cprog.exe. Now my question is how to recover the original 'cprog.exe' back. I tried to copy cprog.exe from other phone but found the application(cprog.exe) actually cannot copy,rename or move. Now my phone cannot answer incomming call. Could somebody help me :wink:
Thanks in advance
A simple hard reset should do it
Cheers,
raul
Hi Rain,
Thanks to you it save my day of my dopod 577W
I just go to the START->ACESSORIES->CLEAR STORAGE
and voila! everything was cleared and comebact to original...
Thanks a lot to you because giving me the key words HARD RESET
Sorry I didn't see your post before. I would have saved you the hassle of HR.
cprog.exe is a ROM file so you can't copy it out.
But you can overwrite it whith another file that will be stored in regular storage memory. That is what you did, so the original file was never deleted, just hidden by a file whith the same name.
In the future, if you have similar problem, just rename the file, then soft reset. The original file will reappeare and you will be able to delete the replacement.
seems the solution has been found. the following is a translation from a threat i found claiming to solve the damaged ext_rom situation.
PLEASE NOTE: I had no device to test this, others claim this to work though. USE AT OWN RISK!!!
here you go:
What you need:
1 program: Flash Format V2.66
2 program: Unhide_Uni_Extended_ROM (storage made visible)
to begin install "Unhide Ext. ROM", followed by softreset.
Execute "Flash-Format" and install to device via activesync.
should see extended_rom on your device as an empty folder.
Once you check system settings you should get the ext_rom displayed as 0,93mb free.
start flash format, to be found under settings/system, not programs!
Change to the tab “format”, choose "storage" on top, choose “fat16” and "cluster size 1KB"
Untick “backup FAT”, and than tap “format”
Once formatting is done, you should see the .cabs again.
if this is ok, use “flash format” again and use “auto-run”, choose “storage”, below “config text” of the extended_rom and tick “activate-autoRun”. Followed by “test” and you should see the whole config.text again.
terminate “flash format”, and deinstall program"Unhide-Ext.-Rom".
you are ready to perform a hardreset and the original setup routine should run as before you destroyed the extrom.
in addition: SEEMS TO be able to add own cabs this way too!? i am somewhat pressed for time, so anybody volunteering to be the guinea-pig?

I have tested the solution in order to repair the damaged extend_rom of my Artemis and has worked.
Great!!!!
Thanks a lot
This don´t work on my XDA Orbit. Flash Format says at the format: "Exclusive access to the storage card is denied (#29). Please close any application which may be accessing files on the storage card."
All applications was closed. Resco Explorer says me the same when i want to format.

check anyway if the files are visible now
The files was visible, i know this, i have make this with Resco Explorer last month, but the Extended Rom don´t work after a hardreset.
The info comes with 3 seconds, but after 3 seconds the info closed and thats it, nothing installed.
Sorry for my bad english!
Try to perform this operation with FlashFormat and test it
<if this is ok, use “flash format” again and use “auto-run”, choose “storage”, below “config text” of the extended_rom and tick “activate-autoRun”. Followed by “test” and you should see the whole config.text again.>
Same problem for me, on HTC P3300, i'm getting same message:
"Exclusive access to the storage card is denied (#29). Please close any application which may be accessing files on the storage card."
NICE WORK THX
i have now own extrom
when you se
"Exclusive access to the storage card is denied (#29). Please close any application which may be accessing files on the storage card."
it is unlocked and editable
you can delete all files and copy new
I got the same error message ("Exclusive access to the storage card is denied (#29) ...") but found out that if you ignore it and go ahead with the procedure, you will succeed in repairing the Extended_ROM as well ... - i.e. the Extented_ROM utilities will install after hard reset is performed ...

... and one more thing, the Extended_ROM works OK even after an old full backup was restored on the device.

is it possible to delete that "Storage", to get more free memory?
Trouble with Unhide Ext
I am desperately trying to bring my iPaq File Store extended memory back to life. The RX3700 series (and others apparently) have a defect that locks the memory up if it gets to close to full. Then you can't format it or anything.
It sounds like this fix might address the problem, but I can't seem to figure out how to load the "Unhide Ext.rom" correctly. So naturally the extended memory is not appearing in the FlashFormat app.
Could someone please post a step by step for getting the "Unhide Ext.rom" installed and working properly?
Thanks!
Randy

unfortunately it looks like that we need to wait for someone like buzz_lightyear (universal extrom unlocker)

Have you tried Hard resetting? yes the ext_rom looks ok even after reinstalling backup, but the question is if ext_rom apps will reinstall after hard reset???
i 've deleted something:
i've lost original composition templates (my daughter like pics with them....)
how can i reinstall original camera apps?
or somebody can mail me that templates?
thanks
as far as i know, unhide your extended rom (hard reset, and then a soft reset b4 your device starts installing the custom applications), and then navigate to the extended rom folder and install anything camera-related...
if you haven't done anyhacks then just hard reset it will automatically insatll
Dont make a hard reset
use the program LoadVDisk.exe or .lnk in windows folder of the device.
This will show you your extended_rom folder, where the original software is in, and you can reinstall the software you need.
Hope to help you with that.
If you cannot find the file, dont look with the original file-explorer, use another tool like total commander (its free), and let you show all files!
