hello everyone..
before i start i just have to say i was amazed at the quality and quantity of information found in these forums. you have done a great job! i mean it!
so having said that.. let's get to the real point cause i'm about to throw this thing to the wall
to start with, i have a Qtek s100 flashed with the NL 1.13 ROM.
it's a great ROM and i don't think the problem i'm going to describe is related to that, but just in case.
everything worked fine till today, when i tried to "skin" the standard keyboard with a mui file found here... i was stupid enough not to pay enough attention if that mui was for wm5 or 6 (i have wm2003se)
anyway i copied it in the Windows folder and did a soft-reset..
at first when i clicked the sip-button nothin happened so i thought "well that mui isn't written for _my_ .dll"
i renamed it.. did a soft-reset, deleted it.. and that was is.. from that point something really bad happened..
when i press the sip-button nothing opens.. (except transcriber) and when the transcriber opens and i switch to the keyboard no matter what it stays there not being able to close it.. like the function or sth behind the button is messed up
i did a full backup, hard reset.. with the ROM clean installed everything was ok
but when i restored the backup the same prob was there..
any ideas how can i fix it? could it be a faulty Registry issue that can be fixed without having to reinstall everything from scratch?
thanks in advance!

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
- Cheers
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!

I have just Up the Rom "XDA_IIi_Upgrade_v1.11.162_Radio_1.04" and now my O2 have a big problem.When i finish Up Rom,I HR and O2 start install the application,and when install the Cab_java_tao...,it said that "The file "rofs_target.zip" was not copied successfully.To reinstall,you will need to get the source.cab file again."Then it stop install and i must SR,so many application can't be install.And i tried to Up many diiffirent Rom,but i still error.My friend in Vietnam give me a Rom which have been Cook,he delete the Cab_java_tao...,so the error "The file "rofs_target.zip" was not copied successfully.To reinstall,you will need to get the source.cab file again." does not appear.But I can't Up any newest Rom with Cab_java_tao...Any one can help me
You've tried unlocking the extended ROM using the tools on this site haven't you. They don't wirk unfortunately, all they do is lock the storage so you can't write to it and unfortunately hard resets don't work. I know, I did it when I knew nothing about these devices as well. Have a look at this tool by Gorosz:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=147439
Also if you are not in the UK, this ROM may be better for you:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_Ext-1.11.162_Radio-1.04_O2stuffstripped.rar
Good luck,
Pug.
Thx Pug,i can fix my O2 error.I uesd exttools_modified_alpine to unlock the Stogare and delete all files in Storage.After that,i Up Rom again and everything is good.
Anyone have the same error with me can do that:
1.Open the registry->HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->System->StogareManager->Profiles>TRUEFFS_DOC->
rename "Stogare" to another name(e.x: "hello")
2.SR->used exttools_modified_alpine to unlock Extrom Rom
3.Go to the folder using File Explorer to delete all files in folder that you rename (e.x: "hello")
4.Rename that folder (hello) to Storage again and SR
5.Up Rom again and everything will good.
Thx for a friend in VN help me fix this problem and thx for Pug much.
Hi Pug,
I need your help buddy. I bought Alpine (PDA2) and it was so cool. Now I have a problem that its touchpad is not working anymore. PDA is working fine but no more touchpad. I didnt drop it at all. Let me tell you what happened.
I used permanent save function to save my contact list. It saved the contacts and then it happened. After some time a window showed up "Contact syncronizing" and after that touchpad didnt work.
I have replaced different ROMs since then, every update has completed successfully but touchpad is not working. Can you guide me what to do ? I am sure somehow touchpad has become disabled (not hardware problem) is there any pc utility which can link with it ??? Pls help
Qbukhari.
Can you align the screen at all after a hard reset or rom update? If not it's a hardware problem and the touchpad needs replacing. Possibly the connector from the screen to the m/board has come loose, unlikely though.
The only problem I have found that survived a hard reset was a locked storage.
But may i have attention plz
i have an alpine (O2 xdaIIi)
i never delt such a case i had today, it was just a user code in that set, i hard reset that set but the password was still there, i was surprized. why code is still there after hard reset.
i quickly flashed my set with this rom Alpine_Ext-1.11.162_Radio-1.04_O2stuffstripped
but my amazment was more gaged after doing flash that user code is still there...........
how it can be possible ???
now i wanna know is, if the rom is erased and ihave flasehd a new rom then why password is still there
and phone is still giving owner info
pleaes seniors i need answer on this strange issue
I got my htc cruise about ten days ago. Camera was working fine.
But four days ago, i got the message the camera could not be initialized. I read on this forum that it sometimes helped to remove the battery for about 15 minutes. So that's what i did. And guess what, it worked for about 1 day
Then i kept getting the message the camera couldn't be initialized. Removing the battery didn't help anymore.
Then i hoped a hard-reset would do the thrick. Windows reinstalled and everything went fine. But now the camera icon is missing from "Programs". I tried to start it by going to the photo album and pressing the camera icon. Nothing happened. Then i use file explorer to go to the exe file. I found the camera.exe file, i tapped it but nothing happens.
Anybody have a solution?
Return it asap and get a new one
Camera issue
Hello,
I got this problem 5 days ago too... Very strange! Tried most of the procedures said here in the forum and none worked. The weirdest thing is that the camera just stopped working from one day to another, i clearly remember of not installing anything during those days.
I am very pissed about this issue! My problem is bigger: I bought it at UK while travelling and currently I live in Brazil (no support center around here).
Do you guys really think that its a hardware problem? How can that be if some other people already said here in the forum that a few days or weeks later, the camera went back on?
Anyone else can help us with this issue?
Regards
Try that one, worked everytime the issue happened for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=391455
Thats quite strange! My Storage Card is 40% free...
My problem is bigger now... After 2 weeks of "could not initialize" issue, my camera simply doesnt start anymore... I tried to lauch the application directly from the camera.exe but it doesn´t work either...
Don´t know what else to do...
radio rom upgrade?
did you upgrade your radio rom to 1.64.08.21 ?
if your answer is "yes" you should downgrade to Murata radio rom (1.58.21.23) ..
don't forget to backup your data, because Murata Radio does hardreset after downgrade..
No. I use the original Radio ROM (1.58.21.23).
I dont wanna try to change the ROM yet in case I need to send it to service.
I tried to install the Nadavi New HTC Camera and didn´t help in any way. But I noticed that, after uninstalling this patch, the camera exe files went back to the old versions. I tried to uninstall them (the original ones) or delete them in the File Explorer, even in safe mode, and windows mobile wouldnt let me.
Kenhas, looks like Im in the same point as you (exe is not working either). Did you happen to make yours work?
Any other soul could help us in here? (btw thanks for the help given by everybody!)

have you tried to delete the /DCIM directory from your storage card and soft reset ?
if your exe is broken you probably need to hard reset.
I formatted my storage card (8 gb) and soft reset... no deal
My exe is broken now. Do you really think the hard reset now is going to fix it? Before I had the "unable to initialize device", now I don´t have anything
I installed both Microsoft Portrait and Coolcamera to try the camera, they get quite the same error.. something like "failed to get camera"...

I don't know if those tools share the same camera dlls, but if that is the case, a hard reset might fix things, otherwise, it means it is a hardware failure, and you will need to send your phone back to service.
FYI, when I faced camera issues, I installed the NADAVI WITH FIX cab for Kaiser , and that version only made the camera tool work again (although for me the rear camera was not working due to the storage card issue)
Maybe try installing that one first before hard resetting

Hi,
I am a total newbie and so have no idea what is spl, hard reset or ROM backup methods. But I tried many new softwarez on my phone and as a result they all screwed up my phone. I tried a new panel manager it totally screwed up the system. I uninstalled it and now I cann't change panels any more, when I press the X button it says Xpanel exe missing. Then I thought I will try spb shell 3.0 I installed it and it screwed up my contacts somehow. I uninstalled it too.
And now my phone sucks!!
I am trying to learn how to BackUp rom before I try someone elses ROM. Even though its is pretty complecated which one should I try? I was thinking of 6.5 but there are so many of them dont even know which one is the right one.
Anyway in the mean time that I learn, I was wondering if somebody knows how I can get my phone Xpanel back at least?
Thanks in advance
Try a hard reset. but backup what's importend.

Thanks again.
Hiya..
I found a neat program today.. to record my phonecalls.. all was well.. i got it to work (yay) but not entirely satisfactory. there was a loud BING when i started recording.. but there is a thread about it here on the forum.. just edit some registry settings and yer good to go...
alas.. i went into the registry with pocket commander and it was then it happend.. when i was clicking on the folders in registry i accidentely renamed the folder Software in HKLM to sz.. aw well i thought.. no problem i'll just change it back..
the thing is.. it seem like my blackstone didn't take to kindly to not having the Software folder.. so it created a new one... with not quite so much information in it as there was in the newly named sz.. ok...
this meant i couldnt rename sz back to software... so.. i thought i could copy the content of the folder sz into the newly created Software.. and i did.. and it seemed to work.. until i did a soft restart..
it hangs with the "smart mobility" screen.. it displays the red numbers.. but it wont go any further...
so.. is it possible fix the os in some maintenence mode or is a factory reset my only way to go?
Yours. Masterkong
oh.. and ive searched the forum and read the wiki..

So, now you should know how to hardreset your device. It´s written in the wiki:
Switch off your device, hold both volume keys and shortly use the power switch.

in order to change your registry you must have a running os. In case that it doesn´t work you have to hardreset.
Thanx man.. that means i'll do the facory reset now and maybe go for a freshly cooked rom tonight.. cheers..
