I did the Big Hack successfully and gained 27 mb of space on my O2 mini (I was a happy man). Prior to this, at the time of Big Hack I stored a copy of my original rom and my extended rom.
Subsequently, in about 2 weeks time I accidentally deleted some key files while using SK Tools. Due to this the ‘close button’ at the top corner was not visible even after soft reset. The “running programs” application was also missing. Because of this I did a hard reset.
When I tried to load programs into the new storage gained, I found that the storage area is full (total storage memory 26.72 MB, free 0.00 MB. No programs are being written on to this area. I did another hard reset. Still no luck. My active sync is working fine with contacts, calendar etc. getting synced very fine. Only, I cannot install programs to my new big storage area as it shows the full area as full.
Total Main Memory is - 57.41
Storage Program
Allocated 24.39 MB Allocated 33.02 MB
In use 2.08 MB In use 10.63 MB
Free 22.31MB Free 22.39 MB
Please help me. What should I do ? Do I need to visit the Service Centre in Mumbai and ask them to restore my device back to the level at which I purchased it ? Do I flash the BIG ROM once again ? Do I flash the saved, original RoM. Somehow, when I try to flash in boot loader, the screen only shows “Serial 1.0”, but it is not prompting me to Press power to flash.
sorry, im not to good wid my magician, how do i do a big hack, and what does it do?
Galahad: I would suggest re-flashing with your bigstorage'd ROM. That should re-partition everything hopefully back to bigstorage status. If that doesn't work, reflash with a normal rom, and then start from scratch.
Mark - I presume by "Big Hack" Galahad means the BigStorage hack, and not just playing with his dangly bits. Have a look on the wiki and various threads. Olt's guide here is a good one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37914&highlight=bigstorage
and this is my preferred technique:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...t=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=bigrom
What this does is:
by default the Magician is set up to have a "storage" area for user use of about 7mb, and an "extended" area that we can really use, containing a bunch of operator stuff that you might or might not need.
The hack turns the extended area into storage, so you get 27mb, to do with as you please. It's well worth doing if you use a wifi card for example, but if you have a large sd card anyway, and never remove it, you're not losing much.

Vijay thanks for your reply and notes. I have visited your links and taken hard copies for Note reference.
I did a romupdate and thru that I tricked my device to prompt me to flash my SD Card with the saved Big Rom. Once everything was done I got my 27mb space. I notes that it already had 5 mb written. I ignored that and went on to reinstall all my programs to this area.
One more help that I need [don'nt know if I should start a new thread] is how to get to install the application "O2 connect". I installed individual cab files from the saved EXT ROM. After installing 4 to 5 O2 connect cab files whenever I click on O2 connect I still get the message "O2 connect can only run on O2 devices"
The links that you gave me "how do I search for these links"? I do not get the search results for what I want to search in the search dialog box.
Galahad: it's not a piece of software I've ever used, but you have to remember to search for the cracked version. Have you tried the ftp? It's likely to be on there. However, many people seem to suggest it's not very good... I reserve judgement!
Remember to formulate your searches with correct boolean terms etc, it does work if you know what you're looking for and are very careful...
V
These are the files i used to get the o2 connect to work.
Thanks buddies for the replies and the tips.
Nash: I read your post. Did you mean to put a link for me to look up the files that you talked about ? Cause I don't see any files. Maybe I am missing something :?
Buddy these are CAB files in a RaR zipped
Tried using the individual cab files in the RAR file. Installed the same. It did not help me one bit. Got the same error "O2 connect is meant to work with O2 devices only"
I guess if I need the latest ROM I will pickup the same from the XDA forum.
I have been given an 02 XDA ll at work to carry out some decent homes surveys .
The special software for the surveys has been installed but every time the battery is allowed to go flat the XDA re-installs windows and various apps on restart but loses the special survey software . This has to be re-installed which takes about a week to organise (Council)
Shouldn't all software the OS and apps be installed on non volatile memory ?
Can someone explain what the root structure is in these things and where software should be installed to please.
It has a external 1Gb memory . I can transfer the survey data and photos etc to that for safety . Couldn't we install and run the survey software from the memory card also?
xdaII's with wm2003 have all apps in normal mem and they will be lost if the batt goes belly up
with wm5 wm6 wm6.1 one get some flash storage and programs installed there and on the sdcard will make it passed a flat battery
but since the storage is limited in size
people use ramdisks which use normal mem as a disk
and that too can be cleared at flatbatt
thanks for your quick reply.
If all the apps are stored in non volatile memory where do they get restored from when the batt goes flat ? they must be stored somewhere in non volatile for restore purposes.?
Don't understand this at all.
If the XDA can store the OS and apps somewhere shouldn't my employers install the special app in the same place so that it doesn't get lost when the batt goes flat?
Can the firmware be updated on these ? if so what difference would it make
Thanks for any help
the os itself is located in flash and stay there unless it's flashed with another rom
on WM2003 many htc devices have a list of install cabs in what they call extented rom which are auto executed after a hardreset or 100% flat batt
one can open the extented rom and add install cab's oneself but the space in limited so it may require other of the auto install apps are removed
with wm5 and later it's the exntented rom which is used as normal data storage
so it's not really present there
yes the firmware/rom / os can be changed as i state when i describe the diff between 2003 and wm5 or 6 or 6.1
how one goes about that you can read in the wiki
or in the rom from the wm5 or wm6 sub forums you download they include a txt file
describing step by step what to do
thanks Rudegar
I have found a good explanation of the different types of memory in these pocket PC devices Here
If our IT remove redundant OS files and some of the unwanted apps in the flash memory there might be room to install the special survey software (Anite)into the flash memory instead of into Ram that way we wouldn't lose the damn app every time the batteries go flat ?
Alternatively would it be possible to install and run the Anite app onto the SD card ? that way it would be safe and easier to re-install from and PC
Are the OS upgrades WM5 and WM6 available free to download or do they require a license like Winxp etc?
the roms wm5 and wm6 is not sold by ms they only provide them to the pda makers
so you cant get hold of them that way but if you go to the subforums for himalaya wm5 and wm6 you can find plenty of versions for free
thank you for your helpful advice. Much appreciated
help me please
my XDA II is shuting down after I remove my charger from it... so the last option to use it is by not removing it from being charged... but when the battery meter reacher 100% it automatically reboot and my OS need ro reinstall...
my question are:
1: why does my XDA had that problem?
2: how can i trouble shoot it?
3: what is the best way to fix it? 100% sure...
please help me with this problem...
thanks...
please.. email your answers here..

thanks a lot..
Sounds very much like the battery has expired and is not holding a charge. Do you have a spare battery you could test with?
I have an unbranded Chinese P800 from eBay and would like to upgrade it to WM 6.0. What I have onboard :
1. WM 5.0 OS 5.1.525 (Build 15364.3.4.4)
2. Processor ARM926T OMAP730
However, one perculiar thing is that I can't find any Device Info on IPL, SPL, Radio ROM etc. I've tried using WST 4.2.2 but to no avail. I'm using my Lenovo S10 Netbook running XP and ASync 4.5. What I've managed to do are :
1. Run USPL, it goes from 0.. to 60.. and hangs, I reset my P800, USPL resumes to 70..100 and the RUU program starts,
2. the screen on my P800 turns dark with the Linux Penguin and some message of mapping, preloader etc comes on temporarily before Windows comes on again,
3. RUU runs, upgrading to image 9.99 (original image is blank-no info), when UPDATE ROM IMAGE ON YOUR PDA PHONE comes on it never gets to more than 0% (no blue progress bar), my P800 screen goes dark, loses connection and I get ERROR(260).
I have done this several times and there is no way I can verify if the CID is unlocked as I can't get the SPL info anywhere. So I will appreciate any help I can get. Thanks in advance.

Hi mouse.co.nr,
Many thanks for your reply and pointing to the right direction. I'll get to it asap and post the outcome (success I hope!)
Hi Salimbs,
just another note,
in the past I found myself in big trouble (not with Himalaya as it was SD flashed) but with Charmer and Magician ROM updates, also with ROMs that I have already used in the past and classified as stable,
Roms used to get blocked during upgrade leaving me in Boot mode if I don't remember bad..
I have noticed that this error was common when Ms. Office applications like for sxample Word or Excel was turned on!
it makes like a kind of disturb to the rom!
once closed (all office and not necessary applications) roms updates smooth and bug free!
Don't remember if it was an Err 260 or not, I just remember that update blocked at a certain point...
try to do your upgrades with office turned off!
wish it will help to solve your problem

Hi mouse.co.nr,
Well noted and I'll keep this in mind. From your experience have you ever tried the SDHC.cab so that your phone can read the micro SDHC? I ran it in my phone and now my STORAGE CARD is gone! Anyway, thanks again. Cheers!
Not SDHC my friend but Artemis SDHC,
I don't know what is exactly the difference, maybe one is for big SD and the other is for MicroSD, anyway I've tried the one for artemis and now I'm working with a 8 GB micro sd, and it can go till 16 GB.
I've tried that with other artemis ROM versions and works very good...
For your problem have a look at this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=345038;
and download the programs indicated below...
What I advice you to do is the following:
1) remove your SDHC card (it have a sort of bad luck with any upgrade that needs a reboot)
2) copy SDHC_Artemis_back2original.cab to your documents folder (PPC documents obviously) then run it, soft reset.
3) then copy the correct SD HC for artemis "SDHC-Artemis.cab ", in the same way of the above and run it.
this shuld work "I wish for you"
let me know..
how about the ROM update? did you succeed at the end?
have you also updated also GSM radio ROM? generally original roms come with a 2.11.... version, old and not always good in reception!
I advice to change it in 03.18.90 shall work well also with your provider, for GSM signal WIFI, GPRS and GPS..

Hi Mouse,
Thanks to you my STORAGE CARD problem is solved! However with regards to my ROM update I'm still a little confused.I've managed to patch the artemis_jumpSPL_pof_v1.nb using Kermit the Frog(jumpSPL.exe). After that I run the RUU again but I still get the same result-0%Can you tell me how or show me the relevant threads?
Hello Salimbs,
Kermit sounds funny but it's the first time I don't know how does it work!!
try the ufficial SPL unlocker for artemis, nothing more,
download from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
* Connect your PPC through Active Sync (connection shall be established),
* Run start_uspl.exe from the Artemis_USPL package in the link above,
* Run till it reachs 100% and Dos Window turns off alone, and launches RUU upgrade interface..yes, yes, continue, continue.... 100%
* After device shall have SPL 1.11 and so you can load new ROMs
let me know if it will solve the problem..

Hi mouse,
Actually "Kermit the Frog" is the icon for JumpSPL.exe. Anyway, like I've mentioned in my first post everything seems OK except that I can't check for the SPL and when the RUU runs it never gets to more than 0% and then I lose connection and get ERROR 260. I'll be trying again and let you know of the outcome. Once again, thank you, I really appreciate your help!

I'm afraid that I've not met with any success after trying all the combination and tricks mentioned in this thread. Every time at the part of the RUU flashing it never goes beyond 0% then I lose connection and get ERROR 260. I would appreciate any help I can get, and thank you in advance.

Hello everyone!
I have a HTC Tytn with WM5, and want to update it to WM6 (or later, with perfect and stable versions)
I´ve read loads of post, and got confused with so many applications and proceedments.
This is my first time with flashing/updating with these kind of devices, and need help to update my device.
I think for me and for future reference (for other users) that a step by step tutorial would be great.
P.S - I already searched the forum, and web for a step by step procedure wih no success.
Thanks in advance.
Hi, I also got a Tytn with WM5 and now I am using WM6 released by HTC and ATT officially. This official WM6 Professional room was available before Aug 2008 and after that period, ATT offical website no longer provide download service. I searched on google for a few hours and finally get an official released rom. And this rom can work by just connecting your fully battery charged Tytn via USB and execute the *exe file you downloaded. It's very easy.
My suggestion: Ask google where can you get this room downloaded. And further more. Attention suspective links. There do exists free download without requirement of some sensitive information(Credit card number, etc)

If you've searcherd then you know to install Hard SPL V7 first... After that you can use the sd card method to install ANY Hermes rom... A quick search will give details, I know I've typed it out enough times...
Cheers....
Dear Ultramag69,
I do want to install Hard SPL V7 first, but I fail for almost every known method
to install it into my device. And I do unlock to super CID under the guide got
from this forum. I don't know why. So finally I decided to use a official release
version.

Go to the sticky about Hard SPL in the upgrading section, page 116, post 1160. It will tell you how to use the sd card to upgrade the SPL. Just remember that you need a 2Gb or less sd card formatted FAT32 or it won't work...
Thanks I'll try. But before that I am interested that whether the upgrade for Hermes from WM6 to WM6.5 would save me memory for running programms? The problem I am facing is that after I open WIFI and Palringo I will use 70% memory. When I open Google Map, then it eats 87% of memory. Can upgrade to un official WM6.5 help me solve this problem, or in reverse, latest system requires more memory?

Done [But, Can't Detect Memory Card]
Hello!
There's actually a link in XDA for the W.M 6.5 ROM.
Works perfect with TYTN, although i still have the memory card detection problem.
It says that it's not installed.
About the WM 6.5;
Since this equipment is a little bit slow; i added a few apps so the equipment can run faster (due to the new ROM consumes a little more memmory than the original WM. --> WM5.1).
[Performance Apps]
"Speedboost"
"Advanced Config"
I find those very usefull and you can actually "see" the diference; if you configure them well.
Memory Card NOT Working...
Hello.
By now i think i've read everything about this problem; and still can't access the memory card.
Although i found a method to figure where the problem is.
I opened the camera app; and reinserted the memory card; then a message appears asking if you desire to save the photos in the memory card.
So it means that the SD Slot; the memory card; are working.
Also seems that WM6.5 v2 (from "FCW") detects it somehow... But i can't open access the memory card in anyway.
I tryed these SDBus Updates: (but no success)
- AX3L 3.1.2c SDHC DLL's
- HTC SDHC Settings
- MiniSD HC Patch v2.2
- SDBUS
- SDHC
I'm going to install the v3 version now.
I'll report in a while.
WM 6.5 v3 (FCW)
No use; i can't find out...
Tryed everything and can't get it working.
The v3 works awsome; but didn't fix the problem.
It detects with the "Camera Method" but i can't use/explore the memory card. Also if i go into the "memory" app it says memory card not installed.
Any idead on what i'm doing wrong?
Yeah, me too !
I still cannot access my sd card in tytn at WM6.5 until now...
I wonder if HardSPL v.7 will works...
Greetings;
Awww... I was digging my old threads to make them more usefull, clean and clear.
Yes HARDSPL worked great!
By this time i'm proud to say that my HTC died.
Anyways; if anyone has troubles with SD Card; try to install the ROM; without the SD Card in the device. That shall do the trick. I remember that was my issue. Hope it helps.
Best Regards;

what reg keys are you talking about here??

hiii ..the registries were like h_key/localmachine/init/bootvars/masterkeyfiledictorie it was /windows by default..i used my extrom that is /storagecard/windows/ well its booting the folder but due 2 lack of some file getting switched .off....kkk..lets see im not gonna give up ...ORTHER PLEASE DONNOT TRY THIS ITS VERY RISKY UR CELL MIGHT GO DEAD SO PLEASE..well hopes so this work still waiting of our members to a conclusion....
i'm just guessing here coz i don't have that much of in-depth know-how about it but...err...even if your system theoretically worked, wouldn't that reg key only be present and accessible when there is a proper booting Windows based OS on the device first...
as far as i am aware of (and that awareness is very limited in scope at this point in time) Windows is the only OS using the sorta reg keys we use (do correct me if i'm wrong)
and assuming that even if we do get it to boot from an external location, for instance a mem card, wouldn't that still mean that we would require a Windows base on the device memory first...
isn't that kinda redundant??
and suppose we keep an absolutely clean ROM on the device and have a loaded ROM in an external location and then boot off of it...our GENE's processor and RAM are still not powerful enough to deal with the added load on it...
now don't get me wrong...i'm not trying to put you down...i would even help in any way if possible but i just don't what it is you're trying to do because i fail to see how this would alleviate the problem of flashing in any manner...
may i also suggest you post you idea up in the WinMo Development thread so that you can catch the attention of other advanced users who could help you out or shed some light on the use of the reg key...
u haven't put me down ..wat u said was n is absoulately correct .thankin u from bottom of the heart for giving such an precious knowledge 2 us.n pls help me with sum more ideas in future regarding this thread pls pls ........thankinn u n hve a greatday....;-)
just because you hit a stumbling block here doesn't mean you have to pass up on it...
try posting stuff that you find out that hasn't been tried/used well before on the WinMo Q & A or Dev thread...you never know what sorta breakthrough you might make...people here are incredibly helpful but the only way they (we?) can help you is if you are gonna share information that you have...

guys guys my solution is working ...u wanna know does ur memory card has the folder WINDOWS on the root..
.well if not don't worry ..
1-if u are having .net framework 3.5 cab install it on the storage card ..after tht u will windows folder on ur sd root "ROOT-the folders which r welcomed or opened when u open or execute storage card through explorer..
NoW things tht u need to boot rom on storage card r
1- resco explorer latest version install it ..n if u r havin it check whiether it not an expired version ...
2- run the resco explorer ..one good thing is tht resco has an regedit s\w in it which we will require after wards ..
3-configure resco explorer ..n then in menu\option\ general\ browser uncheck all options n press ok button...
4-go on windows folder not the one on storage card outside it ...the windows folder where all the rom files are present ...and select all files on in the windows folder..
5- after tht a long tab on it thn select property..uncheck all except ROM option cause it not possilble to do so ...after tht press ok...
6-now start copying file from windows to \storage card\windows ....it take a very long time and do make sure tht u have 120 mb on storage card ...
7- while copying u will hve to keep pressing "yes" button all the time whenever required ...because copying denied by sum file but thts okay ...n don't lose u patient while doing so ...action stopped due to sum reson u may continue by same proccedure but "skip all "file already copied.....after finishing ....go to resco registry...
8-in resco registry open HkEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init\BootVars and modify the string value of MasterKeyFileDir from
\windows to \storage card\windows
pls don't mistake it with backslash"/" it ALWAYS "\" in registry ...now what
9-its finished n u all done but plz check all file copied I know sum file couldnot be copied but don't worry thoose file are .dll files mainly containing registry and work according with HKEY's ...
now do a softreset let it boot n after booting let it settle down for few minutes for the 1st 15min it goes slow but after ward goesssss very smoth....
note:-THIS CONDITION GOES TRUE IF U R HAVING GENE THAT IS HTC P3400 OR HTC P3400i BECAUSE ITS TESTED WITH GENE OTHER PLEASE DON'T NOT TRY IF U TRY AND CAUSE ANY DAMAGE TO UR OS OR ANY OTHER RELATED THING ...I AND XDA ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR IT"
10- BEFORE I EXIT ONE MORE THING THIS ARE TEMPORARY CHANGES WHICH MAY BE CHANGED AFTER U HARD RESET UR MOBILE N U CAN FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION IF U HAD N HARD RESET UN WILLINGLY.......
have a nice day n sry abt my english ....pls give a feed back .....
regarding your first post ->
before i begin i'd like to make to assumption, one for me and one on your part...
assumption 1: your project aims at getting a ROM to boot up from the memory card instead of the very limited phone memory
assumption 2: you believe booting off the memcard will improve on the performance and speed
now let me get to the point-
if you dump a stock ROM or even a cooked ROM what you will get is a huge number of files and modules...alongwith a .rgu and .reg files...tons of them...
now simply copying them over to the mem card won't make it work...
the .reg and .rgu files which contain all the registry entries for the software need to be added into the system registry (which is ironically located in the phone memory) for the program to function as most of them maintain settings and records and certificates on the registry and access and refer to them while running
now this work or adding the registry entries is usually done by the kitchen for us cooks...
it can be done by hand as well but the sheer amount of time and patience required for it to be done this way is way to overwhelming....
and it can only be entered by hand if there already is an operating system functioning on the device
so for now...i'm leaving that out as an option...because basically no reg entries mean no OS
our gene are able to read mem card higher than 4 Gb because the SDHC drivers required for this to be possible are cooked in with our devices...
SDHC cards do not work with stock 5.0 and 6.0 WM ROMs because they can't recognize/handle them...
now about your second post ->
what you've done is copied your system files onto your mem card and made your system boot into it...
the only way to know if it is genuinely booting up with the file in mem card and NOT with the ones in the phone memory \Windows folder is by deleting the files from phone memory...
and even then, you'll still be accessing the registry from phone memory to get the files from the mem card to function probably
now a request to you...
i want to know what exactly it is that you are trying to do...
you mentioned you wanted to get a ROM working this way to ease the burden of flashing...but this wouldn't help at all as it would still require a running OS on the phone and also need corresponding reg entries for a different ROM loaded on the mem card if you were to boot into one from there...
its just that i'm losing point to what you are aiming to do...
if i understood it better i could even help a bit myself...i've been cooking ROMs for a fairly long time so i could even provide ROMs dumps if needed...
so if you could, just write down a few lines about what you want to achieve via this...
Brother wat u said is correct...e1 im tryin to reduce the flashing accident without excepting any reward ...I've been a victim of flashing.losing my gene dead so.
frist I was scared after completeing the procedure tht my mobile might get stuck on bootloader mode but fortunately it started ...after looking at the registry sawed tht while booting it take help of the files present in documents n setting folder rest everything from windows which now is \storage card\ windows getting RAM free near 50% ...but the problem is tht flash a rom files go in windows folder im looking to change tht scenerio over here ....belive me the speed is improved a bit while multi-taskIng ..so I can say i ve 5% success...pls post sum ideas or question u may get....'''IDEA GIVES BRITH TO INVENTIONS''' tc
have a look at the ExtenDir project...you'll find it in a quick search
