Camera and Album are MISSING!

Very strange thing happened to my QTEK 2020:
I had installed the Widcomm Bluetooth Stack the 'Bluetooth.cab' floating around and I was not pleased with it nor did I truly need it and tried uninstalling and NO GOOD. Hard Reset and I in turn started from scratch with reinstalls. Here is my problem:
Upon the Hard reset there is no longer a camera.exe nor album.exe in the \windows directory - and the button of course is not assigned to the Camera because it IS NOT THERE!
This is a HARD reset peeps! It is inherent in the ROM 1.60.00WWE, no? How is this possible? Did this villainous bluetooth.cab do this? I have tried again hard resetting to see if there was anything and EVERY time there is no Camera nor Album installed!
I have installed the Camera/Album 2.5 which came from HTC inherent in the 1.72 ROM and it works great until I soft reset and then it locks the device so there is not a solution there.
Very strange indeed, any comments or remedies?
- Thanks

i've had the same problem with at times a hardreset would not load my extented rom programs another hardreset or opening the extented rom manualy and running the cab files solves it

Looks like part of the extROM was not installed.
Check the config.txt if its still complete. If not: repair it.
Check is the cabs are still in the extrom. If not: didnt you forgot to lock the extrom when you hard-reset the device? You have to get new cabs then.
I think the old versions are lying around somewhere.
OR: Upgrade to 1.72.00! Good occasion now.

Thanks
Thanks for the help... I didnt even know all of the possibilities of unlocking the ROM and seeing what is in there!!! This little machine is COOL!!
I suppose backing up the External ROM is 100% important now that I know it is there!!!
Thanks again for all of the help.
I installed the ExtROM unlocker and re-installed the camera 1.5 cab that was there, rebooted and tried out the camera and it is giving me the same problems as the 2.5 version of the camera did... I will leave it alone for the time being, I didnt really use the camera that much any way

tried out the camera and it is giving me the same problems as the 2.5 version of the camera did

what problem ?

I dont know what happened, but I replaced the older version of the Camera CAB with the 2.5 and changed the config file and then locked the ExtRom then hard reset and the camera works fine as it should...
Before ithe device was locking up - just a black screen when the camera was called... not any more.
Again, thanks for all of the help! This forum is amazing!

SOLVED: Phone Does Not Work After Upgrading To WM2005

History of my XDA 2:
• Supplied with WM2003, no problems.
• Upgraded to WM2003SE, no problems.
• Recently upgraded to WM2005, phone did not work ("No Service" everywhere I went).
• Downgraded to WM2003SE, no problems, phone works fine.
• Tried upgrading to WM2005 again, phone does not work again.
I have tried everything I can logically think of to try and get the phone to work. I have checked the country setting (UK), phone settings (all looks fine, but I'm not 100% sure what the settings should be), unlocked my phone using xda2unlock, and tried different sims.
I'm using the BuzzDev 60b.96 release. Has anyone else had this problem?
Update: I've just remembered that my phone did work for a while after upgrading to WM2005. It might have been some program I installed that caused the problem. I've also noticed that when I downgraded to WM2003 and upgraded to WM2005 again, all my settings and programs I installed in WM2005 originally are still there. Does anyone know how to reset the memory completely so my programs and settings in WM2005 will be reset to a clean installation?
Update 2 - Problem Solved!: I've just performed a format by holding the Camera and Record button while doing a reset, and WM2005 just reinstalled. Now the phone works fine!

Try this ...
As for your preinstalled software which doesn't seem to get erased when updating your rom, simply downgrade your ppc to wm2003se and install the extended rom unlocker. Then unlock and unhide your extended rom. Then from file explorer go to your (storage) drive and delete everything inside the drive and then go to your extended rom drive and delete everything there. This should remove any installed software from your pre-wm2005 installation.
Now as for your radio problem, I would suggest you use either radio rom version 1.17 or 1.18 and see which one works. Now if you've tried upgrading your ppc using only buzz lightyears os rom WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE the radio rom, then you've only upgraded your os rom and have used your pre-existing radio rom that was properly running on wm2003se but seemed to fail on wm20051.6b. Now, in this case, I would suggest you either download radio versions 1.17 or 1.18 nb files and adding them to your os update setup directory along with buss lightyear's wm2005 1.6b You can find both radio versions on our FTP site
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Himalaya_SEs/Radio/
From there you can try both radio roms and see which one works best with u. Good Luck ;-) Tareq A.N

intermittent wlan

this is really pounding my ass... my wifi can be enabled "sometimes" mainly after a hard reset but then after a day of normal operation it refuses to enable.
cant seem to find anyone with the same problem.. when enabled it works fine can find and connect to any network just wont enable after a while.
soft reset does nothing
please point me in the right direction I dont mind reading/searching.
thanks in advance

2 Questions regarding your problem...
1. What ROM are you using? WM5 WM6? Which version of it?
2. By not enabling, do you mean that it does not switch on at all if pressed in the comm manager? or does it come on but refuses to connect to any Wi-Fi Network?
Let me know perhpas I can help

thanks for ur reply, I'm using WM5 ill check which version of rom now( soft reset?)
yes I mean it won't turn on when it does turn on it works fine
doesn't seem to be any reason why though I checked what programs were running nothing seems to be interfereing?!
anyway thanks for ur help
si

Your Problem should be easy to fix.. I hope...
Get a registry editor for your Wizard... something like Resco Explorer has a nice one built in or Total Commander will also work
Then go and change this key in the Registry
HKLM\Comm\TNETWLN1\Parms\HTCPreloadWifi
Default value is 0 change it to 1 and exit the editor... play around with the Wizard for about 2-3 min and do a soft reset on the device. (This is needed to ensure that the Wizard actually stores the change to the registry.)
If it does not work check the key in the registry again and make sure it is changed... repeat the above steps if needed...
Hope you get it right.
PS Also check in the \Windows\Startup\ folder that WifiInit.lnk is there...

thanks for the advice, using total commander i changed the value waited soft reset ( value stayed changed) unfortunatly it didnt work. wifiinit.lnk is in startup too.
by the way here is the rom info
ipl - 2.21.0001
spl - 2.21.0001
gsm - 02.07.10
os - 2.21.4.1
really hope you have another idea? or hint
thanks so far at least that is ruled out.

there is another value. PreloadStatus.. change value from 0 to 1 and check again... other wise check through the Windows Mobile 6 Section and try to upgrade your ROM to something like NBD8.1 It is seriously much better than the WM5 you currently have..
Regards,
Johan

ok thanks I tried that value aswell, still intermittent with no rhyme or reason,anyway will try to upgrade to wm6.
thanks for your time
si
update: upgraded to wm6 nbd 8.2 rom but still got the same problem WIFI works after a soft reset but once disabled wont re-enable!
I tried the reg edits again but it doesnt seem to make any difference.
please help before I make bits of it with my hoof!
thnks again
si

hi jus wondering if anyone has any ideas? still doing my head in so it is!

Urgent Problem, Blue Angel Freezes

I upgraded my Blueangel to windows mobile 6 a couple of days ago, yesterday i was reset it. when it powered on i have the windows mobile 6 screen and nothings happens thereafter, it is not connection to activesync and i m not able to ROM Upgrade.
Please help me ASAP

read the wiki carefully
try a hard reset after and do the no+yes+yes ritual in the hard reset.. it should worked...
regards
adri

baybe it is because third party software you installed, it happened to me with the touchflo which replaced the touch.dll with another one for another device, also with HTC Plus today plugin

I had it after installing VBAR... you have to reset it and press the record and camera button, then clear the registry HIVE and press the mail button... it will be hard resetted but in wm6 you don't lose any data, just some settings and cabs...

Yeah, I got this problem too a few days ago.. annoying...
When I tried to back up my data using Sunnysoft backup manager, BA had to restart, and then it stuck in the WM6 page... ended up clearing the whole thing again using the no yes yes option...BA was able to start up on safe mode though... weird
I only had this problem once though....
Hmmm, interesting few people have this problems with different circumstances, however leading to the same problem...
is it really WM6 issue or is it 3rd party apps issue?

good question!
it just happened to me as well.... i had an almost fresh install of WM2006 (just downgraded, merged Extrom and upgraded again).
I installed some few cabs and eventhough it worked fine for a day, it then started to freeze while booting again and again....
i never had the problem before merging the rom though...

it happened to me also, after doing a soft reset using pbar. it ends up in the green screen with the microsoft logo without going any further. i've tried several soft resets after but it always ends up in that mode.
had to perform a hard reset and install my favorite apps again.

well maybe there are some incompatiblityes with those programs you mentioned, i have not use them my BA has the default apps (the posted cabs) Sprite Backup 6, Htc Home 1.5, Adobe Flash Lite and i have no problems at all

have you installed all cabs you posted (cabs & cabs2)?
in what order?
whats Sprite Backup?
and which one is the HTC Home 1.5? (i only see HTC Home6?!?)
sorry, but i am really getting more and more confused...
regards,krz

Sprite backup is the best backup softweare IMO, yes all cabs (cabs and cabs2) Home6 is HTC Home 1.5

thank you very much for your answer, xplode!
there are three HTC HOME6 cabs out there:
1) Helmi HomePlug_Comp.cab: found in Helmi_C's WM2006 archive FLASH.zip
2) Helmi_HtcHome6_WM5_comp_sdkcert.cab: found in Helmi_C's WM2006 archive AddOn.rar
3) HOME6: an archive with two folders (WM5 + WM6) and HTCHome.cab
are there any differences?
is one better than the others?
i never found an answer to these questions...

Use Home6 if you want to be able to modify the HTC Home tabs from 6 (default) to less than 6..... this is the only one working....
With Helmi_HTCHome6.. it also works, but cannot modify the tabs......
never tried the other one....

OK OK I had this problem and it solved it without losing data. First i tried to reset the device , like 30 times with no success. Even with a hard reset it didnt work. So you just Put ur device in the booloader mode and then soft reset it and voila. i dont know if it's really the correct solution but it worked for me for 3 times when i had that dumb WM6 screen. It's because of Battery status software ( 100% sure )

BA Freezing

Can anyone tell us which third parties programs that cause the freezing or which are compatible whit WM6. To used or avoid them.

Hi,
same problem here. I just installed the cabs from helmi (Thanks again!), the HTC Home (Helmi_HtcHome6_WM5_comp_sdkcert.cab), Acrobat reader and powerpoint (out of this cabs in the first message in the central BA6 Thread) and no additional software. I've re-installed it two times, but that doesn't help .
@ Xeon: Maybe a good work-around, I will give him a try,
UPDATE: @ XEON: Doesn't work for me
regards
Andreas

OK im again facing the same problem it seems my solution didnt work. As far as it seems to, i had to soft/hard reset more than 20 times to solve it. i dont get it. when i reset it the problem is still bla bla bla.. but when u leave it stuck for 10 mins and then reset it , it will work. the point is that after all , u dont need to format/clear registry. All u need is to keep trying. WEIRD [email protected]#[email protected]$#$

I keep having the problem after installing a new cab with a soft reset. The only way to get out of the WM6 screen is to go into bootloader and a soft reset. Just like Xeon said. However, I don't think it is the battery issue because if I just do a normal soft reset, it starts up fine. The problem arrives only when a soft reset is required to finish an installation from cab.

correct order of cabs?

hi everyone!
as there are many various cabs flying around here (eg. cab & cab2 from xplode, Addon cabs on Helmi_C's WM06 rom, various HTC plugins, etc.), i wonder if there is a correct or some kind of "best" order to install them!
how does everyone's install sequenz look like?
are there any known problems, which result from installing in a wrong order?
or is it totally nonrelevant...?
regards,
krz

AFAIK the only cabs to be installed in a order are:
1. ArcsoftMMS4.2.8.1.cab
2. MMS_enable.cab
from Xplode cabs2

You are right about that

thanks for your answers!!
i knew about the MMS cabs...
i just wondered, because the first time I upgraded to WM2006, everything worked totally fine. I hab no problems no matter what, wifi worked like it should, bluetooth as well, no turning on here and turning on there again (HTC Home Prob), ...
now, after i have downgraded to WM2003, merged the ExtROM and upgraded to WM2006 again, i am experiencing loads of problems!!
the "turn wifi on"-bug occured, i could not turn wlan adapter on with one simple click on the icon in CommManager...
then, after a softreset, the device froze while booting (there is some other thread about that problem). so i had to perform a hardreset again...
i configured my device again and installed the various cabs again, but in the end my device turned out to be totally screwed... turning on wlan was a pain, message-windows in which u can normally choose one of the available wifi spots were text-less (just empty window, only headlines visible...)...
so, i had to hard reset my blueangel the second time today and am now sitting in front of a fresh install of WM2006, thinking about what to do.....
what cabs should i install?
which HTC Home cab is actually the "best"?
any known problems regarding PPCContacts Manager?
do you thinkl, that those problems are somehow connected to merging ExtROM?
disappointed,
krz
ps: can anyone recommend a good backup problem, which saves me from setting up all settings all over again after eacah hard reset(timezone, regional settings, device id, reg tweaks, ...) ??
