How do you repartition the memory back to the original size after you have resized it with repart_DOC? Or to put it simply, how do you undo a repartitioned memory after using repart_DOC?
You have to down grade to WM2003 and re-run the tool. Its a pain in the ass I know, I had to do the same thing!
try
1. Download mtty v1.42 from http://files.pdamobiz.com/ROMs/XDA/mtty1.42.rar
2. Stop ActiveSync, by Task Manager (press Ctrl + Alt + Delete)
kill two processes rapimgr.exe and wcescomm.exe
3. put your device into Bootloader Mode by pressing Power + Record Button and Soft Reset.
4. Run mtty (from downloaded) Choose WCEUSBSH001
5. type "set 14 0" without the quotes to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.
6. type "task 28" to get your device formatted
7. type "task 0" to ask your device reboot
8. take the device out of the cradle, and manually reset it if it does not do that already.
good luck.
imatrix
again, i've allready said this (not your fault, he made about 5 threads asking theis question -.-)
Okay, I followed the instructions regarding mtty but after I reset, strange things happened. First the boot image had some horizontal lines accross it, then I got messages like CALENDAR FLASH MANAGER, and TASK FLASH MANAGER and CONTACTS FLASH MANAGER. The extrom failed to launch as well. When I tried to reinstall a shipped rom, it could not recognize the device giving me an Error 100.
Please help.
Error 100 means country code error or something like that.
just use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe tool to upgrade it, should be fine. and if u have a sd card, take it out too, just in case.
imatrix
Using MaUpgradeUT_noID did the trick. But is it still possible to return it back to being able to run BAUpgradeUt?

Just a thought bit if you're having this much trouble trying to get an upgrade to work for you, perhaps you should just leave things alone..? Afterall, we've all learned from the wiki how to do things and I'm sure that if you do the same you should soon be in a position to assist others in the same..
When I used to have more hours in the day, I used to advise people on the following:
MrPhilly (originally) said:
Hi Dave - Welcome.. Remember, we all have to start somewhere..
The first thing I would recommend is reading.. I'm not too sure if you've discovered the Wiki on here but this is truely the best place to start..
So, simple links:
Start here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel
A link from this page (titled Getting Started With Your Blue Angel) will lead you to updating your BA to where it will be of most benefit.
This is where you need to start thinking of what's of more use to you.. I, for example, have not updated my BA to WM2005 (or WM5 as it's more commonly known) as I would not be able to Sync with my Work PC easily. In other words, the latest is not always the best! You need to think of how you're going to use your BA and by trial and error, get to your own conclusions. Although saying that, feel free to seek advice on how others have reached a similar conclusion.
If a "seach" (top of the screen - Highly recommended :wink: ) doesn't reveal an answer you're looking for then a simple post with something like "Having problem "X".. Anyone else have it..?" is a lot better then "NEEDED - ANSWER TO MY WORRIES!"
This is outlined here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4534
My second piece of advice is to make sure you know what you're doing.. If fiddling with yor BA is going to lead you somewhere you don't know then perhaps fiddling with it is not what you should do. I don't want to see posts from you stating "HELP - MY BA's BU**ERED!" because you thought that Reading Wiki was for saddos :lol:
Remember - Don't run before you can walk..
Tip for Hearing problem - Turn on the Bluetooth and keep it on.. This is a well documented tip for solving the issue.. Updating to the 1.42.00 Spec ROM will also help too but you're right in saying that it will give you the T-Mobile settings.. What you can do there is use the search facility to find if someone has posted a .CAB file with the Orange SMS/MMS Settings
So, start reading..
Hope this helps..?
Cheers,

its just the first post leads me to an open touch release and the part thats relevant isnt very clear(about mms setup).as far as deleting arcsoft from the registry gos.
the second is very helpful but the fact that im uncomfortable deleting registry values that aren't specicific cancels it out.
any help and the diligent yet apprehensive reader of this great forum that gets made fun of by his wife for staring at the screen to read so much usefull info would be greatly appreciated!

The MMS walk through for non-working MMS. ( Originally by ndiguy5 )
1.) Remove MMS from the registry.
2.) Registry: HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA
3.) Now install Arcsoft_MMS_4281 to install MMS back to phone.
4.) Install network wizard, if you have it already installed skip this and goto the next step.
5.) Now use the network wizard to set up your settings.
6.) It should ask you to soft-reset.
7.) Now you should have a working MMS. If any problems post and I will try to assist you.

You can just normally post. I saved many spots in the beginning of this thread so it wont be a big mess.
Also as it grows I will always put the post numbers next to a particular application or fix so when people read they can get all info from the first page so you don't have to read the whole thread to solve an already solved problem or read about an application.
Cooking your Splash Screen
Once again many thanks to all who helped me papamopps who is a great teacher and will have you laughing as he teaches. I am sure all his students love him for his humor. And it was his idea for me to start this whole thread here. zcink who always quietly finds his solution and will always share. Dutty for his wonderful nbhtool as his work is legendary already. Dark Simpson for his htc rom tool. And all the others who helped me learn and the noobs who got me searching for answers.
And last but surely not least ivanmmj Who started this thread and brought this to our attention. Also ttran001 who wrote the original how to, all I am doing is making it easier for people to use and supplying all the files.
"DOWNLOAD"
I have included a folder named "PURESKILLZZZ Splash Screen" for you to test before doing anything at all. This folder is my splash screen that I created and tested on a t-mobile wing. I have also included my image file that I used in-case you just want to go through the process before you create your won.
1.) Download all files needed. ( I made 1 download for everything. )
2.) get the picture you want to use for your splash screen.
3.) Copy the image you would like to use into the image folder.
4.) Open up the Step 1 folder and run the Replace SplashScreen.exe file.
5.) Click on Load Bitmap from the newly opened menu (Replace Artemis SPlashScreen.
6.) Click on the Update Splash button.
7.) The PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.0.3.1 menu will pop up. Leave it alone.
8.) Go back to the image folder for step 1 and locate the RUU_signed.nbh file.
9.) Copy the RUU_singed.nbh and place it into the RUU_signed folder.
10.) Go back and close out both PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.0.3.1 and Replace Artemis SplashScreen.
11.) Now go to the step 2 folder and double click on the nbhtool.exe.
12.) This will open up Dutty's good NBH tool v1.1.
13.) Click on the Decompile NBH file button.
14.) Browse back to the RUU_singed folder and locate the new RUU_signed.nbh file.
15.) Choose the same location or the one of your choosing to save the extract files.
16.) Once completed it will extract a new file called PrimarySplash.nb, this is your new Splash replacement file.
17.) OK now goto folder step 3.
18.) Open htcrt.exe file ( this is the HTC_ROM_Tool. )
19.) The htc rom tool screen will popup.
20.) Click on the Build! button.
21.) On this screen click on the box under the Device: to select your device type.
22.) Choose Herald
23.) Type in your version of the rom, example: 4.10.0002. (Thats what I used)
24.) Click on the box Splash 1 to choose your PrimarySplash.nb file
25.) Click on the Build ROM botton.
26.) The save to screen will open
27.) Save "ruu_signed" in the folder "step 4"
28.) OK ... Now we have a nbh file in the folder ready to flash
29.) Goto folder step 4 where you can flash your splash screen.
30.) Any questions just ask........

My Setttings -> Device Information -> shows ROM version as 4.17.405.2 WWE
what should I be entering?
Previously, when my device was a boxed-product it used to display the IPL, SPL on booting up, but after upgrading using the help found here, it only shows me the htc screen and I can only check the IPL/SPL if I go to the boot loader mode. The htcrom tool shows some options on the right side. Would entering the values there provide the values for IPL/SPL on booting?
How do I select the PrimarySplash.nb file? There is no selection box available. N checkin again, I see that nothing can be edited in the boxes on the right.
EDIT: Didn't realize that those were buttons next to the text boxes, so the 3rd question is answered. The first 2 remain...

I am new here and am trying to install a cooked rom to my tilt. I have followed the instructions to the Tee. I know I have to install jumpspl, then hard spl first. However, I am not able to get passed the first step. When I attemp to install the jumpspl I get an error message: "the file cannot be opened because either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found." It also said to restore the file or reinstall. I've been searching around for answers and all I get is to do a hard reset. Is this true? Can some please provide me with specific instructions on installing a cooked rom. I have NO experience with this. I really want to do this, but have been having a very hard time. I been working on this thing for hours. Please help. And please no smart comments. I really need help.

Try this eidt HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies] Change value 0000101a from 0 to 1 you will need a registry editor for this..search around and you'll get some options to choose from.
OK I am sorry but this sounds like a foreign language to me. Can you use layman's terms please.

4) Once installed open the program you will see a screen with folders like HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, HKEY_CURRENT_USER etc etc.
5) Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies
6) Change value of 0000101a from 0 to 1
cant make it clearer than this.. best of luck
thank you very much
I have created this post because I was honestly baffled by the NAND install threads for the Vogue that I found, that claimed to be "straightforward" and simple, but the people who wrote them leave a lot of gaps that you have to figure out. Perhaps they have been doing it for so long now, that they just 'assume' you will know stuff, so here are step-by-step instructions for someone who has zero experience with Android, and all they know is that they have a Window mobile phone.
So, Here is the NAND install process (will install Android to your internal memory, which is much better than running from the SD card) for the HTC Vogue (240x320), CDMA or GSM. I believe this is the most straightforward tutorial on this entire site, and all files you need are provided in this post; no file-hunting necessary like with other tutorials. Keep in mind, this process will wipe your internal memory and replace it with Android, so you should backup any personal files you have stored on the phone. If you have a CDMA phone (Verizon, Sprint, etc.) then you should make sure to backup your Contacts using a 3rd party program. GSM phones however (ATT, T-Mobile, etc.), typically store their contacts to a SIM card, which is not altered by this process. You do not need to backup your SD card, since it is also not altered when installing Android.
Dependencies: This process works for any ROM release that provides an "androidinstall.tar" file in their download package.
First and foremost, make sure you have unlocked your phone ("2.31 CoKe" HardSPL for CDMA Vogues). If you have ever flashed a custom Windows ROM from this site or ppcgeeks.com, to your device, then you most likely already have an unlocked phone. If not, perform the steps HERE first, before continuing AND flash to a custom Windows Mobile ROM (non-stock) and make sure your phone is provisioned (you can get and receive calls), and that you can use data (if you have a data plan).
1. Wipe your SD card, and make sure it is formatted FAT32
2. Create a new folder in the root of the SD card called "andboot"
3. Download the ROM release package of your choice (for example, you can download the 240x320 version of Myn’s Warm Donut - [RLS 5 - 04/24/2010] HERE)
4. Extract files from STEP 3 and put ONLY the "androidinstall.tar" file in the andboot folder on the SD card, by itself (no other files are needed)
5. You are DONE putting files on your SD card. At this point, put the SD card into your phone.
6. Download the latest NBH file that begins with "voguimg-240x320-..." (needed for all Vogue Android ROMs): HERE
7. Download the RUU Update Utility (needed for all Vogue Android ROMs): HERE
8. Rename the NBH file to from STEP 6 to "RUU_signed.nbh" and place it inside the folder with all the other files from STEP 7
9. Now, put your Vogue in bootloader mode: Hold down power, camera, and the small reset hole (with your stylus), until you see the tri-color screen, and it says "Serial" at the bottom
10. Plug your phone into your computer, and the "Serial" text should change the "USB"
11. Now, run the "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" from STEP 7, and click the "Next" or "OK" buttons to go through the flash/ROM update process, until your phone shows a progress bar on its screen and is updating.
12. As soon as that progress bar finishes the phone will automatically reboot; at this point unplug the phone from the computer
13. Now, watch carefully during the Linux boot process...there will be a quick message that says "Hold down Volume Up or D Pad". Just press and hold the center D-Pad button until you see the screen change to the installer menu. If you happen to miss it, and it continues loading, then just use your stylus to press the reset button (it will not hurt the phone or any files to try again as many times as you need to.)
14. You will now see a black and white menu. Select option 1, to "Install..."
15. Select "Yes" on the recommended prompt that follows
16. Once it says the Install process is complete and it returns you to the menu, just reboot your phone with the reset button
17. At this point just WAIT. Do NOT press the volume up button again, and do not do anything until you see the Android desktop. You may get an error saying that it could not find a file or something like that, but just ignore it...do not get impatient! Pretty soon the Android progress bar will show on the screen (might take up to 5 minutes), then the Android desktop will load.
DONE. Enjoy Android on your Vogue! You can now delete all the files on the SD card if you wish...Android will recreate anything it needs on boot-up each time.
MASS STORAGE FIX (USB to PC): You can get the Mass Storage fix HERE so that your storage card will show up as a drive on your computer. This is a widget, and not ROM specific, so should work for any Android ROM.
KAISER WI-FI FIX (for the Kaiser phone ONLY!): Download the Wi-Fi fix HERE (intended for use with 'myn's Warm Eclair RLS1', linked in STEP 3)
I do not ask for donations, just say 'Thanks' if this helped you.

UPDATE: This Thread is now featured on Wired.com's News Site!! Link: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/04/windows-mobile-android/

please elaborate on step 8. what are we extracting here
Great post. Just some clarifications I thought would be helpful.
1. reminder to all - you can use SDHC cards for this, those being greater than 2gb, but make sure you format them to FAT32.
5. in some instances there are androidupdate.tar files that go with the build too, in which case that too needs to be placed in the same andboot folder
8. clarification, you'll be replacing the RUU_signed.nbh file with the 320 nbh file you download. So, you'll have to delete the ruu_signed.nbh that came with the update utility, and rename your downloaded 320 nbh to ruu_signed.nbh and place it in the update utility folder so it uses that file instead.
9. to enter bootloader mode you have to press those 3 buttons down for about 2 seconds, not just a quick tap. This bootloader is your failsafe fallback to reinstall if your operating system goes funky.
13. If volume up isn't working for you, try holding down the button in the middle of the directional pad. The last nbh file I used required this instead of the awkward volume-up. Regardless, be sure to do this quickly as soon as the phone reboots itself.
16. After the install process is complete you'll be brought back to the same menu you arrived at by holding down the button on startup, you may then select "update" or "upgrade" from that same menu to activate the androidupdate.tar file you may have copied to your andboot folder. Once done, just select "exit" or reset.
17. He's not kidding, first boot can take a very long time.
If you run into problems and just need a functional phone for a bit, download the nfsfan rom (or any other custom roms), put phone into bootloader and run the nfsfan rom utility from your windows desktop. Don't reinstall a locked carrier-specific rom that you might have used to update your radios otherwise I understand your Coke bootloader gets wiped out and you'll have to do that again. Alternatively, there is an older, dummy-proof Android ION build that will install the entire ION build through the rom update utility to your nand at http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/2009-12-17/androidinstall.zip/download
I'm no super-expert so if I have any misinformation in my post, or there are other shortcuts, please feel free to edit it or let me know and i'll modify it.

You're looking for the vogue 320 files, not the vogue eclair 320 files unless you're installing an eclair (2.x) build.
The .nbh files are usually referenced on the build thread in the forums, but if they are not head over to http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/ and download the latest.
(NOTE: I suggest you run at least the Feb 23 build at http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D as it enables the openGL support)

go into bootloader before plugging your phone in by pressing and holding power button, camera button, and then use stylus to hit reset button.
once you get into bootloader, plug your phone in and then run the rom update

the only reason i said that is because active sync should have nothing to do with it. i dont think active sync should come up or shut down during this process. Do you have the RUU_signed.nbh named properly?

Activesync has nothing to do with updates via the rainbow screen bootloader and will not sync.
You have already install the Coke bootloader? What OS are you running?
Thank you so much. Been needing something like this since the other NAND tutorials for Android didn't tell you what files to use or had outdated/non-working links.

Activesync has nothing to do with updates via the rainbow screen bootloader and will not sync.
You have already install the Coke bootloader? What OS are you running?

What OS are you running on your computer?
The ROM update utility really just installs the .nbh file which is somewhat of a front-end loader mechanism. Once that file is installed, then the phone resets, you hold down a button and you enter into the menu that lets you actually install android from the androidinstall.tar file in your andboot folder.
Here is a fail-proof method that I think will resolve your goofy androidinstall folder.
Download this
http://74.53.45.2/~evadmin/nfsfan/Public Releases/Vogue 6.5/ROMS/NFSFAN's WM6.5 1.00 FINAL ROM.rar
Then replace the .nbh file with the vogue 320 nbh. Then, run it when your phone is already in the bootloader screen.
Excellent post
I'm linking this from Warm Donut on the first post.

XP Pro always worked well for me. I'm running Win7 x64 ultimate and recently my phone was recognized as a USB Sync Device in the bootloader mode which doesn't work for the rom update utility. This was occurring both with and without the installation of the MS Mobile Device Center app. To solve this I installed XP Mode and attached the usb device to the XP Mode and it recognized correctly as the Qualcomm MSM thing.
Just an FYI.

This is my first thread here, if it is at the wrong place be free to put it where it belongs of course...
There is a tutorial telling how to install the ROM SimpleBlue by SNX in French, so I've decided to translate it into English for anyone who's interested. (Original tutorial is here: http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/136748-rom-simpleblue-by-snx/ ).
THIS IS FOR THE LG OPTIMUS L7 ONLY. You have been warned.
***I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE OF ANY DAMMAGE OR OTHER ISSUES THAT COULD COME OUT OF THIS, AS I AM ONLY TRANSLATING A GUIDE MADE BY SOMEONE ELSE*** I also don't take any credits, except for the translation part. I haven't tried to install that ROM either, so please don't ask me how to do this and that, for I am no developer.
Here we go:
Prerequisites:
Have the following USB drivers installed ((Go on the original tutorial to get the download links))
-la romSimpleBlue (v10k base version réviser)
-KDZ_FW_UPD_EN
-le firmware V10k (81 NEU/EUROPE OPEN)
-7zip pour la decompression de l archive
-le patch a lancer apres le premier demarage
Preparation:
First of all, we will prepare the necessary files for the isntallation. Unzip the file "rom a decompresser avec 7zip.zip". A file named "system.img.ext4" will appear. Then search for the file "LGMOBILEAX" located under C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX, copy the file named "system.img.ext4" and keep it open. Unzip "KDZ_FW_UPD_EN" on your desktop, launch "KDZ_FW_UPD.exe", select "3GQCT" and "EMERGENCY" then browse your files to load your "V10k_00.kdz" (the real firmware version, not the rooted version). DO NOT DO ANYTHING. Do not click on "Launch Software Update". (Keep it open the way it is), make sure that both windows are open and visible, once you have met all these conditions you can go to the next step.
Installation of the ROM:
Plug in your device and launch the flashing operation by clicking and get ready to copy the file " system.img.ext4" in the file named "phone". Open the file named "phone" and press on Refresh until the file named "system.img.ext4" appears and reaches 400 Mo. As soon as it reaches 400 Mo., go back to the file named "LGMOBILEAX", and right when the program starts to flash your device, copy your file " system.img.ext4" into the file named "phone" (drag and drop) to replace the one in the file "phone". You might get errors, it's normal, but let the flashing operation finish on your device. It will then reboot and there you go, you will be running V10k-SimpleBlue.
Installation of the patch:
You might ask what this patch is for. Actually, it will reconfigure ADW with optimized settings. So to install this patch, first set up your device until you get to the welcome screen (phone desktop), then unzip the archive, check on USB Debugging in Dev Options on your device, and launch "SimpleBlue Patch.bat", the follow the instructions ((sorry, if they are in French only, I can't do much to translate them, you'll have to use Google Translate for that...)) then your phone will reboot once done.
Knows bugs/issues:
Bug with the status bar and notifications, both the texts and icons will not disappear. Nothing too bad, should get fixed later.
When a word is too long, it will sometimes display "...?". Don't worry, it's perfectly normal.
And a few mores...
P.S.: Do not remove the memory card while your device is turned on.
This is it... The guy who wrote that just can't use punctuations or conjugate verbs accordingly, really makes following his instructions a pain (and French is my native language...!). That I haven't tried what he says makes it harder for I can't try and explain things in a clearer way.
I hope that this can help anyone who wants to get that ROM on their LG Optimus L7 (I have no idea if it can work on other devices, it seems to be made for that one only).
If you have any questions regarding translation, ask me, I'll see what I can do!
Once again, I take no credit for that tutorial, only for the translation, if it helps you please don't forget to thank me
Happy flashing!
Tnx for the translation, I too had a hard a time understanding his instructions. Thank God I was able to manage and successfully flash his simpleblue rom.
By your translation it will help a lot of user's since we still waiting for our cm9.
Good job mate.
