What does the G1 store its memory on? aka firmware data. spl ect ect.
Im looking into repairing my old broken g1 (after buying a working one)
I need a new main board because my simcard reader doesnt work. i know what piece that is but does it store all your data?
no your G1 system data is stored on the internal ROM chip.
Any idea which physical board that sits on? i can link you to the HTC repair .pdf

OK, I'm aware asking this question on this forum is going to make me look like a right narner, but I have to, because I don't know the answer.
So for the purposes of this post, I am 6 years old.
I bought a pay-as-you-go O2 Nokia phone for times when I don't want to be lugging around the xda. Now. How do I swap the sim card over without losing the settings/data etc? I have FINALLY managed to back up the phone onto my computer using Active Sync, so I can always put stuff back...but that's not the point. I know a lot of people swap sims with other phones, and I'd like to join the club - without having to spend hours at my computer, cursing and trying to get the phone back to how it was before.
Please be nice, I'm very delicate.

Assuming that all you need is the contact info on the Universal, try going to Sim Manager on the Program menu.
You should be able to see all the contacts. All you need to do is to select all the contacts from there and set them into the Universal.
now I am going to pretend to be 6. A nokia and xda what do they have in common?
Apart from contacts, settings the xda should have. nokia phone should also have if not. then go to nokia web site and settings can be sent over the air to your phone.
how old is nokia.
which xda?
sorry I need some clarification...
I guess you stored your contact/phone book in your SIM card. That might be the best way if you want the same phone book usable in both phones, your Nokia and the Universal.
Universal, however, use the Contacts application that is synced with Outlook. You mentioned you have exported the content of your SIM card phone book into your Contacts, so you should have no problem of moving around your sim card to both phone. You just have to keep track everytime you add a new entry to your Contacts if you would like to use it in other phone as well. Just remember to make sure the same entry exists in both the SIM card and the Contacts.
Other thing that might get stored in your SIM card as well when used in a Nokia phone is your sms. Universal does not store your sms in your SIM card, however.
Thanks for all the replies. Yes, I've got my contacts stored to my sim card, and I've managed (finally!) to back up the data to my computer, but what I'm more concerned about is the basic setup of the xda. As far as I'm aware (correct me if I'm wrong), once you remove the battery, which you have to do to remove the sim, then the xda loses all its memory and effectively reverts to factory status. So every time you replace the sim, you have to go through all the rigmarole of setting the ruddy thing up again.
This is what's putting me off a bit. I can do it, but I don't want to HAVE to do it every time I want to take a smaller phone out with me.
It's the XDA EXEC and just a little Nokia PAG phone I'm using. I have a feeling I'm going to end up not bothering.
Just an FYI, I have the Qtek 9000 and I swap my card out almost everyday.
I never lose the contacts from the sim card.
Once transferred over, they'll still be there if the sim card is not there.
I believe that the Universal has the ability to maintain memory when the battery is out.
In WM5 ( which is on your Universal), ROM memory is used for storing all your settings, data, apps etc. ROM does not need power to retain the data. Removing the battery therefore is no problem, all your settings, data etc will be there. In WM2003 SE, on Magician etc, RAM is used for storing most apps, data and settings. removing the battery is there the same as hard resetting, therefore losing all your data. of course you can swap the sims, because those WM 2003 SE devices have a built-in back-up battery that gives you 30 minutes at least to swap your SIM or find a charger before the juice is all gone and your device is empty (except for the OS, which is stored in ROM).
Conclusion: taking the battery of your Universal will not kill all your date, even if you leave it off for a month.
Boxed, mint condition M5000 - charger, 2 x stylus, box and manuals, probably has the original USB lead somewhere, extended and standard batteries and covers in good condition, pouch. No/minimal wear on casing, screen protector, all in very good shape.
Only problem is that the Radio ROM cannot be reflashed; CID locked and corrupted (thanks, I think, to choosing to install WM6 then wanting to go back to WM5 with the official Orange distro specifically because my machine wasn't CID unlocked, and Jwright's ROMs are CID-friendly it seemed). Everything else works fine, it's currently happy running T-Mobile WWE 2.0 something.
My thoughts are:
TO AVOID BRICKING YOUR PHONE DO NOT FLASH RADIO IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
Can I repeat that? I am SURE if I had just downloaded the T-Mobile ROMs and used the CID-bypassed RUU, then I would have a perfectly working device still.
Anyway. Is this worth anything to anybody? I'm either going to eBay it or kill it in an amusing fashion if no-one here wants it - I can't claim on house insurance because I just claimed for a laptop (everything goes wrong at once). It'd be a fine spares machine for someone with a cracked screen (or if anyone has one with a cracked screen and flashable ROM...).
It was no longer network locked - I got the unlock code from Orange.
Have you tried using task 28 55aa? Or an XP machine? If yo u cant get it to work, I would be interested in it since I need the antennae part. LMK.
Um, didn't you actually read the initial post/response to post about the radio being bricked? I was using an XP machine all along, only it's an iMac running XP - I tried a regular (well, FlipStart PC) running XP.
I've tried every single solution on this and other forums and it isn't the computer I'm using that is causing the headache. I don't know how the CID becomes corrupted, but it's CID-locked with no recognisable CID, and the CID-bypass updaters also fail. I think the Hermes/HardSPL "forced" route would work (I would even try setting up a VM with Linux and hoping for the best with that), but there is no equivalent for the Universal.
I'd like to sell the whole lot - I also have a car holder/charger/windscreen mount for it as I was using it with TomTom Nav 5. The antenna would presumably be cheaper as a part than I'd hope to get for the extended battery, holder and other intact parts. Not sure, though!
Am looking for a good case (shell) for my exec as mine is getting tatty.
Want to sell the whole thing as is with damaged radio for £20+postage?
Pm Me if interested.

It's working fine as a VGA-res, WiFi and Bluetooth equipped Windows Mobile PDA with a keyboard and extended battery, so I'm not going to sell it for £20. If that is all it is worth, then I'll put it back in the box and wait until someone has a solution, I find someone who needs a WM5 PDA, or I find one with a smashed screen!
I've seen new cases for sale on eBay, though, I think for $39.
I think the last option would be to flash the radio using the SD. If you could find somebody willing to back up the radio to their SD and you could try it that way. Sorry couldn't help much but goodluck!
I think the backup would help, but Pof asked for just such backups and none were volunteered; I think that because the command to back up the Flash requires the same access as writing the ROM in the first place, and the procedure for this involves basically writing your own keygen (essentially - someone's done it, I saw a routine, probably on Buzzdev or the Wiki here) and of course... having access to the source.
Which without a SuperCID device isn't that handy.
I think that the radio /is/ trashed, pure and simple, as the part that holds this ID probably also hides the IMEI, and HTC aren't about to give that out in a hurry as being able to change the IMEI means being able to unblock stolen handsets and so forth. After all, the permission to update the ROM is generated from the area containing IMEI, CID and so forth as I understand it - they're not changed by normal ROM flashing procedures. However the SIMLock tools worked, I thought they patched the Radio ROM, not any of the stuff that contains critical ID information.
There will be a mechanism to get this into the machine - HTC must have it - but I don't think anyone on XDA Developers or Buzzdev has access to that information or the tools required (even if they did have the info and could share it, I suspect we mere mortals wouldn't have the tools to implement the solutions).
It is very frustrating. But for now, I've charged the device, packed it away in the original box, and I'll forget it exists for a while. I still have my Ameo and iPhone, after all (and the Ameo is a great gadget, the iPhone is a much better "device to use" - if you see what I mean about phone sizes and real-world use) - the Universal was going to be passed on when I wanted to fix the bugs, as I know someone who desperately wants an E90 and I thought she should try the Uni first.
I remember backing on SD with my wizard but it writes it in a RAW format. It could be converted in a readable file so it could be sent as a file instead of sending the SD card. Then the file can be converted to Raw format again.
If interested. I could try it on my o2 xda and have it sent to you. LMK.
How would you convert to a raw format and write to the card again for reading in the Universal? I'd definitely be interested in that! Even if it doesn't work, it's something else tried, and Pof might find it useful to have a raw dump done too.
OK..will try to read on the instructions tomorrow and will look for an extra sd card to dump the radio rom. I will be dumping 1.15 radio rom.
I tried backing up my radio but is says "Not Allow Operation". Anyways, there is a file with a backup radio 1.14 in ftp. Here is the link
ftp://xda:[email protected] 114/Universal-dump-radio-1.14.10.img.gz
Here is the thread where the person uploaded the file.

Goodluck
Please I do not know where to post this question for help, but since this is the ROM I am using, I figured I should ask here first.
OK here is my scenario: I had an old sim card I Was using frokm a Company that was later bought by T-mobile. Some of my contacts stayed on the SIM, and I wanted to have them synced with the google contacts so I could get them all together. So I put the old deactivated SIM card back in my old mytouch and imported the contacts into my google account, and then put the New Sim card into the mytouch to get data sync , and get the contacts onto the server. For some odd reason, I put the old SIM into my HD2 (7), and now the phone is deactivated and asking me for the Activation code.
Mind you, this does nto scare me because I have my activation code. What scares me is that my emails are gone, text are all gone,, and most things are greyed out.
Is this a Security Feature by Windows Phone 7? If so, how do I recover my texts especially back? There business documents, contacts, all that gone.
PLEASE PLEASE HELP.
Put the card you used to set up WP7 back into the phone and all should be well. WP7 uses the card as core RAM and does not distinguish between card and phone storage. If I understand you correctly, you have effectively taken away a big chunk of the phone's OS and replaced it with an empty (for the purposes of WP7) card.
Reactivate the phone and maybe you will be fine. I guess this is an anti theft feature of WP7. Go to your live account on your PC and check the status of the phone.

I would have thought that should work, and that it how it should be, but NO. The phone wiped out everything. Including my Music. This is a feature that is badly implemented. What if someone has 2 SIM cards and they travel out of the country and want to switch sims? So, it just wipes out all their Data?
I am so sad at this point I don't know how to feel. None of those texts were even backed up anywhere, including my created documents.
well that's odd, I have two sim cards from a different provider that I swap quite frequently and they work just fine
Just tested a SIM swap and it works on my HD2 too. Seems your problem is different.
Hi.
I recently dropped my HD2 and as a result, the screen is shattered although the insides work. My phone is running the 7720 Back to the Future ROM.
I've decided to buy a real Windows Phone (probably the Titan) and I was wondering, was there anyway I could make a backup of my HD2 and transfer it to the new phone? If not, is there a manual way I can transfer app settings and files to the new phone?
Thanks.
Hi There.
I think that,when you activate your new Phone with the activation code from the HD 2,your Contacts and Apps will automaticly loaded to the new Phone.Because WP7 is based on cloud system.That means,all Data like contacts,Apps,pictures are stored in the cloud sealed with your own Activation Code.I´ve read that you could use 5 WP7 Devices with 1 Activation Code at same time.And all Devices have the same config.
So I have read numerous threads on this but most dealt woth people just going to replace

im fairly handy and curiois whats involved in doing it myself anyone know the corect thing to get just a screen or what?
My primary concern at this very moment is getting my data off the pho e (photos, etc). Anyone know how I can do this when I cant access the scren to unlock?
thank you everyone
Do you have a computer to work with?
You can plug your S4 into a computer which pretty much works as a flash drive and so you can retrieve your data from there.
