HEEEELLLLP!!!!
A few weeks back i ran the Wizard Extended_Rom Unlocker.
It worked and i saw Ext_Rom2....after sometime i decided it wouldn't do my anymore good to keep it viewable...so i decide to uninstall the unlocker cab. And after a soft reset, everything goes back to normal or i thought it did.
Today i decide to venture into Extended_rom again, and instead of seeing cabs and the config file....i see 3 folders with weird cryptic symbol names.
And when i try and open them i get an error saying
"Cannot open, either it not signed with a trusted certificate or one of the components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file."
And this error happens for all 3 folders.
My wizard is working perfectly fine, actually better than it has ever done...but i'm just freaked in the event of a hard reset...
Any help on anything i can do to restore the extended_Rom...
btw...i'm running the Custom Tmobile 2.17 rom created by Xelencin.
and to reiterate...all i did was un-install the MyLovingWife unlocker cab and soft reset....i did not run that other "hide Extended_rom cab"
Much thanks to anyone who can help.[/b]
Is there a way to restore or re-import the extended_rom to replace my currently corrupted one?
Or is re-flashing the only way???
Me, myself and I also played around with the Extended Rom Unlocker Tools, also my Extended Rom got corrupted, it was 'writable', but also empty (I tried to install mine IIWPO.CAB in the Extended Rom, but because I got the newest Rom this was/is a problem). A hard-reset didn't work, you get the "welcome screen", but no customization, so reflashing is the only way to get it completely working again.
Thank you tho

Had simillar issues after playing with ExtROM.
Format ExtRom with ResoExplorer resolved it. It can not actually format ExtROM, so comes up with an error, but then ExtROM got all CAB files back.
I think it might be, because some standard system call to format this media leads to recover FileSystem structure.
In reality media is protected, so you do not change anything on the media when writing or removing from/to it, it seems just to cache someweher and format function probably fush the cash.
PS: My OS version 2.16.something.
cheers,
maekel.
YES...that did it!!! Thanks...
now my question is...how do i hide the ext_rom again? I tried what i did before and just uninstall the unlocker, but when i go look it up with a reg-editor...Ext_Rom is empty...
i unlock again, and run the format and the files are there....so everything is there under Ext_Rom2.
Can i just leave it like this unlocked and in the event of a Hard-reset it will still work?
Will running the Lock cab work??

Change registry flag.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1\MountHidden=1
Is this with the ext_rom locked or unlocked??
Shouold i un-install the Unlocker cab then do the registry edit.
I did the reg change...
The Ext_Rom still shows blank.

I think that CAB is just changing couple of registry entries.
You can easily remove it and never use it again.

Extended ROM will not load during hard reset
I have searched the forum for several hours, but I could not find a solution to the issue I am having. When I do a hard reset, hit send to begin the format, I get an error saying FORMAT Failed, so it boots back up as if it was just a soft reset. I really need a hard reset, but I am not sure how to make this happen. I have reloaded the ROM several times, but it still does not take and comes up just like a soft reset. I went into bootloader and flashed it that way, but still no go. If anyone could help me find a way to rectify this issue, I would GREATLY appreciate it.

I got my Cingular 8125 about a week ago, it's been a dream! I LOVE THIS THING!
Tonight I decided to update the ROM. I got it with 1.8 or something really old like that so I thought updating would be a good idea. I went to the HTC site an downloaded the latest ROM (2.25).
As I am a mac user, I fired up the old PC and updated. But before I did, I installed SPB Backup on the 8125 and backed everything up to my miniSD. Update went fine. Worked like a charm. I went to restore my files and thats where it all went to hell!!!
I made the mistake of restoring ALL of my files and settings. It seemed fine when it was done. the 8125 asked for my password, and as I finished typing it in, the 8125 rebooted without notice. The Cingular screen came up, loaded fine. Then the Windows Pocket PC screen came up and then the top bar with icons came up. That was it. Now it just sits there, nothing else loads. I can put it on stand by. But nothing else happens. No today screen, no phone, no signal, nothing.
I tried to connect it back to my PC but ActiveSync cant mount it. I tried the Wizard ROM update installer, but it said that the device couldn't be found. I tried connecting it to my Mac with Missing Sync. It asked for a password, which it has never done before (which seemed promising) but after I typed it in, again, no device was found.
Now the poor thing is just sitting there on my desk
Is there anything I can do to get it up and running again? Is there a way I can get one of my machines to recognize it and wipe it clean so I can start fresh???
Please help! I bought this phone refurbished, so I dont know if I will be able to get it replaced. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Was this device CID unlocked? Did you try going to the bootloader mode (Hold camera down and press reset while holding camera button, rainbow screen should appear) and then flashing it with your desire ROM?
If it still don't work, you might need an SD backup image of a rom. I've been trying to look for one but the only think I found is an image of a dutch language ROM. If I do get one I'll give you a PM.

Hey thanks Clem! I did solve my problem, but now I have a new one. I HATE 2.25!!!
So if you do get your hands on an older ROM, I would be forever greatful!
Thanks for responding!
Here is the link for the 1.8 Cingular ROM
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/Cingular/Cingular_RUU_1.8.11.1.WWE.ship.exe
I hope this works for you.
You think you can save that 2.25 image to your SD card coz I've been looking for an SD image this is ths instructions...that is if you don't mind.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/DumpROM/How_to_DumpROM.txt
and here are the files needed
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/DumpROM/ntrw_189.exe
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/DumpROM/psdread.exe
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/DumpROM/romupdate_115.exe
This will also create you a backup of 2.25.

THANKS CLEMSYN! I'll give them a try! YOU ROCK!
I have a Tmo mda gen 3
task: upgrade rom to faria
So I wanted to try the new wm6 rom (faria) so I starting reading and reading here on XDA and other places for any and all information about the best way to do an upgrade, mind you I already upgraded to 2.24 so my mda is already unlocked and ready to get flashed.
So I did a backup with sprite, I didnt do a updatefile step which is suppose to make an upgrade file so when you do get the new rom on its suppose to help ,but anyways I got a backup.
I flashed the rom to my mda and I had it working, just like everyone said, it was faster, more toys and seemed to work!
Now I did a (selective) restore (only restoring needed stuff), well... sprite warned about rom versions ,but it restored my files including my registry.
low and behold EVERY one of my programs worked, GPS, google maps, etc
,but 2 issues I can not resolve.
timewizard.exe randomly pops up
voicecommand does not work
so it appears the only advice for the timewizard.exe was reflash , which I have done a few times in trying to get voicecommand working ,but the popup message seems to come back, mainly after a registry restore.
voice command is the bigger one, it appears when I restore the registry it blows away some voice command entries from the pre installed voice command 1.6 and then voicecmd.exe does not want to run.
So my question is I am sooooo close to being able to make a backup change roms and get EVERYTHING back WITHOUT reinstall of software I can taste it ,but I need some input!
anyone know some good registry tools / editing suggestions to backup the registry and restore it without killing voice command?
Jeff
Try flashing back and creating an upgrade file. I'd love to know whether it works ;-)
Thats what I did and it worked, however what I did first was
flash to the orginal rom, 2.24 xcel
I restored the sprite backup , however voice command didnt even work going back to orginal rom.
then I removed voice command 1.5 from installed programs.
cleaned up some file space only had 6 meg left on main storage.
then I create the updatefile and saved it to sd card.
finally did another complete backup
flashed to new rom and then did a restore and now voice command works, I will be doing some more testing ,but I think I got it.
if I would have had to install each program seperately that would have killed me!
jeff
well.. forget what I just said.... nothing works!
back to the drawing board......
all the files restored correctly ,but the registry did not restore when using the update mode AND the updatefile.
none of my programs appeared in the start menu and none of the registry entires were restored....
I'll try doing some manually restoreing and see what I get... maybe I missed something....
Jeff
well... I hope my ramblings help someone else!
so I think the key here was simpling removing voice command from the backup file and upon restore everything will work.
so in short, backup upgrade rom , restore works with sprite , but without using the updatefile mode as it seems it just ignores the windows folder and the registry , so whats the point?
I test some more and post my comments to help others who do not want to reinstall everything when they upgrade rom's.
If you get this to work, that would be great, but I think you are playing with a loaded gun trying to do this. Many things are very different between WM5 and WM6. Depending on the type of backup done and what all gets restored, I can see corruption of the registry, and things just not being put in the right place.
Well... so far ALL my apps are working, gps, google, opera, etc about the only thing now is I am getting a Notification
TimeWizard.exe could execuite.
I am hunting that one down in the reg right now.
any ideas?
jeff
Well ... to follow up my thread with my self and maybe help a few others.
the last issue I had after a rom upgrade and a restore was the dreaded timewizard.exe notification popup when you turn on the mda or come back from power save.
after hours/days of messaging around I found that in the "Task Manager" tool you can view Notifications and in there I found timewizard.exe listed a few times, I just assume it had this as a warning/notification and was simply "Notifing" me of a "past" problem. after I cleared it out of there the mda has not shown any more Can not execute TimeWizard.exe popups!
I hope this help anyone else with this issue.

Okay, so I just recently flashed to Touch-IT 4.4 by itje, and it's been working great. However, I just softreset my phone and now it's stuck in a boot loop just after finishing with the first splash with the text Touch-IT in silver..
It should probably be said that it reboots by itself, which I don 't think is normal for a bricked phone?
So I'm a bit stuck and don't really know what to do; Is my phone bricked (in which case I'll just have to unbrick it, which isn't a problem since there's a certain good guide that explain how to and I've already used it once), or what's wrong with my phone?
Meh, turns out it's possible to flash it with the hacked installer as well.. So I'm just going to reinstall the phone.
I just have one thing to say to all of you guys doing all this work on the ROM of Herald/Wing:
YOU. ****ING. ROCK. <3

Take out your mSD card while rebooting and your device will start up fine
Is it the card that's doing it? Because I've soft-reset before without problems just fine. <.<
Gaah, I wish I had known that (or waited, but I was in a hurry to get my phone up and running again because I was expecting a call)..
It's not the cards fault. Somewhere here in the forum it was briefly discussed, but I can't find it right now.
It was said, that a certain DLL for SDHC support causes the looping.
It's called something like omap650sdhc.dll or so (you need to find out yourself, should be easy)
and by deleting or renaming it, it should solve the whole problem.
Never tested it myself, but it will not harm your device if you delete/rename that file.
That's the driver for the SD card drive... Depending on the rom you're using, it might be stuck inside the rom so you can't delete the file.
I asked Chikenbull on here to make a program that will rename that Omap file and reboot the device. I haven't tested it yet, but here it is.
Remember to use this AT YOUR OWN RISK.

I've been doing this for the last month to avoid a HardReset. I've been having the boot-loop problem since i installed the HTChomeCustomizerV80 and/or HTCplus, and read about the warning too late: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326689
I've since removed the Today plugins, and the only annoyance remaining are the Backlight adjust function not working, and having to remove the microsd everytime I restart/power-on the Wing.
As I said, I'm trying to avoid a Hard Reset because I have 30+ programs installed and it's gonna take me a few days to reinstall all of them. I searched here with no success... all I found are the same saying "remove microSD at boot", which is what I'm doing, but it's a pain.
Tried GAMBIT999's suggestion, but can't remove omap850sdhc.dll from the \windows\ folder. Would DUPRADEE's suggestion of renaming this file with the program solve the restart-loop problem? Or is there other methods I haven't found, that'll save me the trouble of a Hard reset?
-cheers
edit: PROBLEM SOLVED!! thanks duprade
omap850sdhc.dll couldn't be deleted, but just changing the extension to omap850sdhc.000 solved the problem!!! Now I can restart without taking out the microSD!!! w00t w00t w00t !!!
Check for errors under Windows
One more possibility I forgot to mention which work fine for me.
After having the boot-loop symptom I took out my mSD card and checked it for errors under Windows.
I let Windows fix the errors and everything worked fine afterwards.
The procedure didn't took long even on a non USB2.0 port.
No card removing or file renaming anymore.
Folks having the boot-loop may try this solution out first before renaming/deleting the DLL.
My problem was SOLVED by simply renaming \Windows\omap850_sdhc.dll
It's funny how if you do not know the cause of the problem, SEARCH is useless. But once you find the answer (thanks Gambit999 and Duprade), going back to Search turns up pages of the same question posted over and over.
Anyways, credit goes to Paul at MoDaCo who found the solution on June 26:

Changing to a blank new SD did nothing... but by Renaming the file, the PPC will reload the uncorrupted file from the ROM.

My phone keeps freezing on this green windows mobile screen, and no matter how many times i reset nothing happens. I have to do a hard reset in order to get the phone working again. It happens often whenever i turn the phone off and on or change out the battery. Any idea? I am running the stock ATT rom, without the added junk (after i do i reset and it starts installing the extra apps i soft reset the phone). I installed the stock kaiser htc home plug in and thats about it.
i thinks its time for a new rom.
to keep it simple and basic =

this happened to me just two days ago. phone froze up and wouldnt start. i had to do a hard reset.
hold both softkeys and use the stylus to reset the phone. (hole at the bottom of phone).
this will do a hard reset.
it sucks that you dont have a sprit back up of all your data. i have several checkpoints of my data. i suggest you do the same if you do decide to hard reset.

I do have backups, and it continues to happen. I finally just reinstalled all my apps today without restoring a backup to see if it helps but I doubt it.
Do you have HardSPL or have you changed your radio? Anything like that? Have you previously flashed other roms?
nope stock and stock. I did first notice this when I tried to use the kaiser tweak utility. but i have since never installed it
Did you upgrade from the original 1.57 at&t Rom to the recently released 1.62 at&t Rom?
If so are your restoring a backup from the 1.57 Rom onto the 1.62 Rom. That is a no-no....
Remove your SD card and do a soft reboot. If it still hangs, then it is a ROM issue. If it boots OK then there is a program on your SD card that the device is having problems with, in either linking to or opening.
Copy all the SD card files and programs on your PC. Format the SD card. Start installing the programs one at a time and see which program is the culprit. Remove it and all those that add to the problem.
If you were happy with the original ROM, then do not change to another.

Hey Kyphur.. good to see you here.. What else can you do to avoid keeping remnants of the previous ROM? How can you avoid restoring a back-up?.

That's a loaded question. Personally I have the cab files for all of my programs on my storage card. I've consolidated some useful programs into a single cab and modified most cabs to install into a cleaner start menu structure.
Then I use KaiserTweak to set the few remaining Reg settings that I don't have already set in my cooked Rom.
My today plugins (PocketBreeze, PocketWeather & iLauncher) all have import/export functions so I use that so I don't have to reconfigure them every time.
Finally I have an Exchange Server account for my contacts and e-mails.
Hello all,
I've been encountering this problem for ages and still haven't find a solution to it yet. Basically, I regedit so that the phone doesn't show contacts from SIM. After i soft-reset, the registry also resets and it still shows the SIM contacts. I've tried it through PHM RegEdit and Advanced Config 3.3 but no luck. Can anyone help me please

That's realled fd up! Have you tried cooking one of your own ROMs? Also, (this may sound bizarre) do you download the RUUs on the PC you flash it on? Do you flash with a VM? I used to download all of my SYS files on a Mac and it turned out when I copyed them to a Windows PC to cook and flash, ROMs came out screwy where no CAB files would install.
There are a ton of factors in this, but the best remedy is to try and download a stock ROM and download and flash that on device. That should clear up any corruption errors.
Just tired it no luck... =(. I use CustomRUU for my flashes. I have he unsigned HardSPL (can't remember which one) with the latest Blackstone radio and 2.04 ROM (uDK ROM) It has been happening since I first purchased it... its so frustrating. Only solution for me is to make a reg that loads at start up but i always need to press a dialog box to apply to regedit. Is there a way to auto reg on boot up of phone?

Yep. tried it through the Bootloader and through CustomRUU. No lluck. Its quite frustrating beause it just keeps resetting. Other registries say though ie auto lock device in 5 seconds. That reg is perfect but its just the SIM wouldn't work.

Did you lock it again? You should uninstall HardSPL and put the SoftSPL back on. I do not know how to do this because I am on CDMA but stf will always be of help
