ExtROM Still Erasing Itself? - P3300, MDA Compact III upgrading etc.

Hi all,
I unlocked the extended rom on my p3300 and had the same problem a few people had with the device wiping the erom after a hard-reset.
I've managed to re-flash the extended rom with version 1.12.405.101 as linked to on the wiki and it works. A hard-reset sets up my device with tomtom and everything else working as it should.
However, if I then do another hard-reset again, it just does the standard windows set-up but doesn't do the additional extended rom set-up. To get it to work, I have to re-flash the device each time and only the first hard-reset works as it should. It seems to be wiping my extended rom!
Can anyone please help?

I've fixed it. You need to make each file 'read-only' in winimage and it stops the artemis deleting it's own erom files when it is first ran!

2nd hard reset in 12 hours!!

ok guys, ive been hanging around this forum for some time (even though i havent participated <<< bad boy =P)
the thing is my phone kinda hangs, so i have to soft reset it, but wen it loads again, it stays on the cingular splash screen and just hangs, even though the LED's on top flash, but i cant do anything, i tried soft resetting again, but same thing, i tried removing battery, also no use...so the only option i had to hard reset it..
and after the torture of restoring all the applications and contacs and info, everything was fine till it froze again, so after the soft reset, same problem occured as above... >.<
my device is an unlocked cingular 8125, no overclock no nothing...only added a 1gb mini sd...
any suggestions??
What software do you have installed? It maybe a software issue ? After a hard reset try using it a day w/o loading your software to see if the problem occurs again. Then load your software one by one until the problem comes back. That's probably what I would do.
well its no specific software, it almost happened 2day too.
the first time i did the hard reset, last install i did was install PHONEPROFILE, then the 2nd hard reset, last app i installed was morphgear. and a couple of hours ago, i resarted, it took time to load back but it finally loaded.
could this be a rom problem?
May be your minisd - reports of this have been due to the card. try it a while without the card and if it made a difference format the card on the device with storage tools (google it). Which rom are you using? an upgrade in rom may solve your problems and give you a faster device.
this is wat i get wen i click on device info:
Rom version: 1.8.11.1 WWE
rom date : 11/24/05
radio version: 01.09.11
protocol version: 4.0.13.20
extrom version: 1.8.11.103
does it look bad? =S
(the date give me the idea that the rom needs updating maybe??)
as i said, this device had no "modding", no rom upgrades, no nothing..
i bought the phone, popped in the mini sd, unlocked the device using lokiwiz 0.2b
nothing else
Would go for an aku2 rom, the official leaked cingular one ftp://xda:[email protected]_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship.exe
Would suggest still try the phone without minisd in and if you do decide to upgrade rom back everything up.
as for software wise morphgear works fine on my device so i doubt its that i noticed that when i installed phonealarm on my fone it lagged to **** everything. gl on getting it fixed
ok, i searched around the forum for the definition of a rom and wat it does..
i KNOW that a rom is kinda like the basic files to run the device, but wat other jobs will it do? and wat changes will i c if i upgrade to AKU2 , and is there a ROM that has built-in arabic support? (i.e. arabic is supported w/o any 3rd party software)

problem with wm6

i installed wm6 the other day on my spvc500 and everything went well.

i really dont know what to do...please, help me...

WM6 problem & SPVC 500
HI,
I had the same problem and I know explanations.
Problem is in software which you installed after flashing WM6 to your SPV.
When you installing software everything is working on 100% ,but after restaring mobile
phone starting very long time ,doesn't have signal and time on main screen.
You have only one option ,re-flash WM6 again ![/COLOR]
Uninstall software hasn't influence!!!
be carefully with installation new software, I don't know where is problem exactly >
Here is list of software which is working without problems on my phone:
Extreme agenda 3.02
Smart explorer 2.1.4.553
SP Task Manager 2.1.1.315
Slovo ED
Adobe reader
Don't install :
profile switcher
cele task
If you are using different software you have only one way how to find "good" and "wrong" software.
After reflashing WM6 install only one program and restart the phone if everything will be working program is OK.
But if no you have to reflash WM6 again !!!
Be careful, all your data will be lost.
I got the same problem, after installing some software i got no network anymore.
Also the menue did not respond anymore on pressing 'Start'-button
I had to flash my Amadeus again, because also a hard-reset didn't help.
Now i think i have installed all the software again and it works still well
edit: 10 minutes after i rebooted my amadeus and BANG, nothing works anymore.
Crap.
I think the problem is 'facade', a tool to show a schedule on the homescreen.
it all works now
well, i managed to solve my problem...
the thing was to flash this WM6 and now everything works jut fine...
i can finally say that i am pleased with my c500!
Before I try this Version of WM6: Do you use Facade?
I flashed my Amadeus with WM5, installed Facade, rebooted and nothing worked. After that I flashed WM 6, did not install Facade and everything is ok
I got the same problem, but after hard reset everything was ok, so reflashing WM6 was not necessary.

Problem with flash.

Hi gays,
How can I flashing ROM in HTC Diamon 2? My Diamond is dead.
My latest upgrade ROM did not proceed well. Proces was ending during loading. Upgrade from memory card is not funkcional and synchronization with PC is not funkcional too.
Try removing the battery, hard resetting it, etc. If that doesn't work, try jtag, although I don't know if anyone has done it successfully on the topaz yet
I try Hard reset and removig batery. That was first thing what I tried. Servisman try to flashing wholle day, bat not succesful.
Did you Hard SPL?

Any advice is welcome
Keyboard tutorial pop up on soft reset solution
Hi loopied!
I had the same problem on my WWE 1.66.405.2 ROM with Sunnysoft translation installed.
The problem is caused by the 'first time use tutorial' that is being displayed everytime when hard reset is done or ROM flashed.
The tutorial consists of the following steps:
Keyboard tutorial
Wifi configuration (that's why Wifi starts automatically)
Google location service setting
Date and time setting
and unfortunately you have to walk it through to begin using the device properly.
In our case this tutorial got somehow hidden right after the hard reset procedure completion and that is why the Wifi starts every time, you soft reset the device and keyboard tutorial gets displayed right before that (I couldn't figure out the way to invoke it).
In my case the solution was new ROM upgrade 3.14.479.2 (04666) WWE and then adding corresponding Sunnysoft translation.
Hope this helps...

Suddenly experiencing the weirdest problem.

Hi guys
I'm a NRG rom user, com5 build and suddenly I'm experiencing the wierdest problem, which I can't solve by myself. Let me explain what happened.
I flashed the latest rom but also went back a couple of versions. I always flash with the flash util which has the task29 feature build in. What happens is that when I flash a rom, all goes well, the complete process including the XDA_UC auto install process. After that everything is okay and everything works. But when I restart the phone all processes are starting to fail loading. Strange thing is that when I remove the storage card and reboot the phone everything is back to normal again. But as soon as I boot the phone with the storage card in everythings fails. I even had white screens of death when booting with a storage card mounted. I also tried dutty's latest rom and mirri's latest, all have the same problem. This problem appeared all of a sudden, all the cabs etc worked like a charm before, so the problem doesn't lie in the cabs or the files autoinstalled during the xda_uc.
A weird solution to this problem is to flash the latest dutch official stock 1.66 rom which is available for the hd2. With that one everything works, also after a reboot. So I can't use a custom rom anymore. Could this be due to a hardware problem? And if so, how can I explain this to HTC if I want to try to send it to them for repair?
Ow and of course I tried it with several other microsd card, all having the same error, so it's not a sd card issue.
I would relock and the re-unlock your hspl and see what happens. That is indeed a weird problem (that you can't send your phone in for).
Good luck

Click to collapse
sounds like a defective phone!!!!
Yeah, that was my idea too. I tried relocking and reunlocking it with HSPL, but that doesn't matter.
But the problem is, how do I explain this to HTC if I want to send the phone to them for repair? I can't tell them that the problem only occurs when I install a custom made rom.
Pfff okay, I found the solution. It wasn't a hardwareproblem after all. I went through a terribly long trial and error procedure but finally pinned the problem down to only one cabfile, named HD2MemTweak found in the registry tips and tricks section of the general forum of the HD2.
I'd installed the lastest official 3.14 rom and installed all the cabs I was used to. But noticed, after several reinstalls, that when I installed that specific cab and rebooted the phone, everything went wrong. So I installed it without that cabfile and allw as working fine again. Then reinstalled HSPLv3 and installed the latest NRG Cookie Classic rom, which works fine again.
So that was the problem indeed. But one thing is strange of course, is that the mentioned cabfile used to work and suddenly stopped working. Could this maybe have something to do with the fact that the latest roms were build on the new 3.14 official rom? Who knows.....
