If u are lucky u can jsut copy your pim.vol to your new system and softreset .. and voila u got all your contacts and corresponing pictures back.
But if u get a newer build that wont work anymore and u cant open the contacts .
so my idea .... a converter for the diffrent roms .

i have a few netframe "?s".....

i MIGHT be n downloading a program to my 8125 but i read alot of the remarks that were under the download and saw that alot of people needed to install Netframe 3.5.......my 1st "?" is how do i kno if i even need to download it i searched but nothing gave me a how to find my netframe. 2nd "?" if i download that n the program n save it to my Mini SD card but then i dont lik it can i just delete it from my Mini SD n my phone will still work or will i have to download whatever netframe i have now ? thanks for ur time ! ps i have windows 5
Depends on which ROM you have; some have it, others don't. Download Schaps Advance Config tool and if it runs fine, that means you have it; if not, you don't. You can remove it at any time and it's best that you install it on main memory rather than the storage card.
THANKS IM JUST GONNA PASS ON IT NOW !!!! F&*^% IPhone icons lol

Wing Problems

ok here go another post , HOPEFULLY som one anwsers them correctly... ok peps, im having a few problems with me wing. first i would like to say that im runnin wm6.1 aserg. on my phone (i hope i type that right) ok theres a few problems i am having. first...somebody told me on my last post that i could go to wm6.com to get themes? i think that was it but anyway i go to the site and when i dled the theme ..IT NEVER POPS UP UNDER MY THEMES..i tried it a couple of ways i tried saving on my device memory through activsynce also on my card, it still didnt help all i see is the themes that came with the phone can someone please explain to me what i should do? ok second problem lol sorry im typing so much..ok now with the ringtones ..my ringtones works fine for VOICE CALLS but when it comes to text messages or email ect... my ringtones NEVER shows up!!! i dont know what is going on..someone told me that should copy and paste them in my windows folder on my phone...i tried but i cant cause it wont me let me do that. the only thing i can do it create a folder and save them in there and i did but they still not showing up. ok im done them are the only problems im having lol...CAN SOMEONE PLEASEEE HELP ME WITH THOSE TWO ISSUES
yep you have to go to file explorer after placing the items on the phone and u should see the windows folder on it place all the stuff (themes, ringtones, ect.) in there and you should be able to do everything
like i said , it wont let me paste the songs themes ect... in my windows folder it only lets me create a new folder and THEN i can save them in there. but it still dont work!!! ( what else should i do?
well did u go to check hidden file thats probably your problem

auto scroll

anybody wants to share with me about "Touchflo" registry??
U know that our screen can scroll down/up automatically, but I've got something wrong when I edited some registry, my screen can't scroll up/down automatically . . .
thanks before . . .
anybody can help me???
The best way is to hard reset.
Its too time consuming to get one registry into another.

Well, let me tell you a tip to save all your softwares and games, always keep the .cab files in your storage card.
So after you hard reset, just install back your favourite apps.
Or another method which is way longer is, install all your favourite apps in your storage card than keep a copy of the bookmarks and when you hard resetted it, copy back all the icons back to the windows directory.
This other method is confusing, but you can ask me about guide if you want.

If I got full backup by SPB, Could it saved the message too?
Well, let me tell you something better than SPB.
Its by Microsoft and its called MyPhone.
Thats way better, as its stored on the web.

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...

well booting is possible through Storrage card -. but the problem is that getting the rom files does any 1 has and idea how we get all the files From nbh file any body having 1dea of getting Please p:s^here ..well sum guys say tht omap 850 can't offerd such an data load ...well tht fake I don't believe thz it nothing 2 do with processor it regestry ..me n friend found tht default setting for data transfer with microsd is 64 byte and and sdHC is 256 byte for booting if u microsd whn u use microsd change it 2 128 byte not more tht cool speed has omap 850 can handle 32gb memory card 2gb is nothing in front of it ...well got 50% sucees for thz post.i put all start menu programme in storage card guys u not belive tht i've got ram space used is only 34% ill post an image of it .....tryin now to put all the programmes let see let c for rest 50% plz feel free to post ur suggestion it all for u guys n e1 im not gonna give up so early ....the reason y it takin time is tht pc's motherboard has crashed n its given for repairing.............plz keep post I'll prefer reply
POSTING THREAD UNCESSARLY MAY PROVE DANGEROUS BECAUSE WE GUYS FLOOD THE SERVERS N THE ADMINISTRATION MAY GET UPSET SO PREFER REPLIES INSPITE OF REPLING WITH NEW THREAD ....BECAUSE I'VE SEEN MANY GUYS DOING THIS.....have a nice day
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

[Q] Tricky question. How to unlock phone?

Hi!
I'm Johnson. My friend tried unlocking my phone and it got locked.
The phone is currently running on the SD version of AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB2.3.7 CM7.2
The phone's wifi has been switched off and i don't know how to switch it on with the phone locked.
Further I had enabled 2-step verification for my Droid and an application specific password for it which I don't know though I know the real password of my account.
Pretty tricky huh? ...any solutions on how to recover the phone without hard resetting the device?
well ... the only solution short of resetting would be to wish you luck!?! sorry no help i know but it sounds like you have quite the delima!
cheers

Try fresh installing and then copying over the old data img? I have no clue if that would possibly work but it's the only thing I could think of, so try it anyway Good luck.
EDIT: This is a youtube video showing how to bypass the lock screen, doubt it still works on GB but hey, why not?
I have got an idea, but dont know how to work out( jus coz i dont know which is the file i am going to talk about). Find the file which saves ur personal info like passwords acounts etc. Copy an untouched file ( the very same one) from the zip of the rom( the very same rom which u have on ur phone now), make a cwm flashable zip with it in the way the new file will replace ur current file in ur phone. Flash it. Done.
All i can help u is, if u find out which file is it,and upload an untouched one from the roms zip,i can make u a cwm flashable zip for it.

SD Android, everything is stored on the data.img as far as I know, and CWM etc is completely out of the question. Anyway, I assume he's done something or the other by now because he's hardly going to be able to survive by using WinMo for a day

thing is ... either i'll havto switch wi-fi on and login or i'll have to extract contacts, messages etc. from data.img ... anyideas?
heyy! u mallu?! xD
I still have the old data.img ... so i could still replace that in the android folder and boot it ...but it's of no use coz after it boots up...it asks for the application specific password that i dont know...
so ...
-either i'll somehow have to get wi-fi on, or
-i'll have to extract contacts, messages etc. from data.img through the comp
any ideas?
Google search for some thing that can mount data.img of nandroid backup in pc or phone.
