Hi,
My magician is O2 Mini -
I was running QTEK 1.11 with MKS big storage patch.. then today I flashed my magician with O2 1.11 ROM (no big storage) ..everything seems to work fine but I noticed that I no longer have storage folder in my magician..
Can anybody confirm this problem? and does anybody have any solution for this?
Thanks

Is your Storage folder gone but the EXT_ROM (after running LoadVDisk) still visible? Then it could be that the Storage is set too big when downgrading and therefore ignored. The Ext_ROM takes space needed from the available flash and the rest can be used for the storage. Since you set your storage to 27 MB before, it could be that this size information is still saved (maybe on the flash itself) but not accepted, since it isn't completely available anymore. Maybe you'd need some formatting tool which is capable of formatting the internal storage and displays it, even though the Explorer doesn't. Maybe you give that a try.
Any other idea ? Does somebody did the same ?
reverse engineering? may be try changing the hex back to the original value.

If MkBigStorage have done that it would have been the perfect tool... :wink:

Hi all,
Need your advice. I just found that under the below memory i have an additional storage (Named Extended_ROM), it is 15.97MB & used 15.18MB, free only 0.79MB. Do you have any idea what is the storage for? Can I remove & free some memory? Thanks
I am currently on ROM 2.06. When i check with my pals, who is still at ROM 1.66, they do not have this additional Storage.
Start/Setting/System/Memory/Storage Card
I have 3 options
a. Storage Card (my 256MB SD card)
b. Extended_ROM (Dont know what this is)
c. Storage (Should be XDAII memory)

This part of ROM (Read Only) is allocted for extra (region or operator) related bundle that is customizable to owners liking 8)
It is untouchable except that it is customizable :!:
You can add and remove from and to it just like your typical folders...for instance, the camera, album, operator based codes and other stuff are among the Ext_ROM
Hi
Ext_rom is the most important place when a Hard Reset (format) happen.
The Ext_rom has all the programs that is installed when a Hard Reset happen. So, if you delete it, you will not be back to normal when you do a Hard reset.
Usually the Ext_rom is hiddn so no body touch it.
In case you want your Ext_rom to have some special program that will be loaded every time you do a format, you need to add the programs in the Ext_rom.
Look carfully in the Ext_rom and you will find a file called "config.txt".
You can open and read the config.txt file.
In this file you will see a list of commands in some order.
These comands are the programs that will be loaded or installed each time you have to do a format (Hard Reset)
I hope this give you some information.
Hi all,
Thanks for your kind reply. It give me a better understanding of what this is.
Is there anyway i can make it disappear or so called hidden it & not show under my memory storage? As mentioned, My extended Rom is shown whereas my frens XDA II & XDA IIs doesnt, both on original rom.

Hi all !
My Question ist, how the bootloader saves the image, if the used card is bigger than the rom? The image doesn't seam to be empty after the first 64Mbytes....
anybody knows something?
greetz MatteZ
The non-emptiness after 64MB is just the garbage what was present before dumping your rom.
You can check it by writing a specific pattern to your SD & then dump your rom.
Regards, M
after some testing i came to the same result^^
But, thanks for answering! I'm sure you wasn't the only one who knows this!
MatteZ
Probably most readers had a 'well that's obvious dude' experience.
I found out that some people on the board are really inexperienced with any kind of computers & can be helped with a small explanation.
Cheers, M
??? im not to good with my ppc, are you sayin that you can install ur rom on to an sd card??? if so, does his meen that there is the 64mb fre on the ppc storage?
if this is right, can u tell me how?
Unfortunately not. You can dump your rom on a SD-Card & save that to your hard-disk or what-ever. The magician won't boot from your SD in a way that you can free up your internal rom-memory. Man I wish it would.
You can supply a new rom to your magician in two ways: the first is with active sync and the second is via a rom-image on a sd-card. The bootloader will recognize the rom-image on the sd & start flashing it into it's internal rom memory.
So Mattezh question was about dumping his internal rom on a sd-card. If you do this & save the rom image on your PC the program to read the image from your sd will not know where the rom image ends. So it just copy every bit from your sd to your PC & that's why there's a lot of garbage in the saved image after the 64MB size of the image.
Understandable? I hope cause I know I sometimes tend to write a bit weird, I know
Hello all. Just wondering if i could get some help on how to resolve this. I just bought this Imate jam modified with the 128mb memory module. It was at 1.11 rom. I wanted to use the new bluetooth stack so i upgraded to the 1.12 rom shipped. When i look at settings, 7mb of memory is now missing and also backup battery states None. What happened here? What can i do? Thanks
Did you happen to make a SD backup of your rom prior to upgrading it? It almost sounds like there's an address wrong in the new rom. 7MB is about the size of the original internal Storage folder.
You can try the upgrade again, but if this helps?
Regards, M
Yes I did, and went back to it. but the problem still persists. i also tried upgrading and same thing. i hope its not a hardware problem.Any registry changes i can look up?
AFAIK not, BIG Storage is about changing adresses in the rom-image & sounds very simular. Of course it might be a hardware problem :-(. Do you have any kind of warranty?
Regards, M
hmm.i never tried the big storage rom...hopefully that can address it. no warranty, i had this jam upgradedfrom 64 to 128mb. for some reason now, the backup battery is now intermittently coming on and off. looks like a hardware fault.
Dear All:
I just would like to understand the situation here.
after upgrading from wm5 i found that the storage memory is almost impossible to have any programs installed as it's very small.
here is what i have tried
on upgrading directly from wm5 to wm6 without hardreset:
1- storage memory is 8 MB ( i found out that somehow i have all programs that i used on wm5 and all other stored files still available)
2- contacts are still there
3- some programs are nor running
4- extremly slow
on upgrading directly from wm5 to wm6 with hardreset:
1- storage memory is up to 40 MB as i think clearing and formatting the hive removed all excess and uneeded files
2- much faster than before
anyhow my question remains the same do i need to resize capacity?
when installing programs the storage memory is drained on the device, do i need to resize to make which?
1- storage memory ? Program memory ?
2- if i do make it as storage mem 100 and progr memory 16 will it affect anything?
i just need the most space to install programs on the device as files can be added on memory card no problem.
will i need to downgrade to wm2003SE from wm5 or wm6 then use the tools privided on wiki (which is somehow questionable for me being a complete beginner) then resize the ROM and upgrade to wm6?
thanks guys, and thx helmi for a great ROM
Hard reset your device.

Hi
I recently bought a Samsung omnia 2. But a strange thing happened that prevented me from installing programs is desired. I am buying this phone was to install a large number of books, but after installing some programs from the phone memory is full and other books can not be installed.
This is strange ; when i install the program on my storage ( ~ 16 gig ) memory the same amount of memory reduce from internal memory ( ~ 150 meg ) ! until the memory become full and critical memory low notification appear .
in the installation process i choose my storage for installation but the amount of internal memory decreased !!
it means that i can install only 150 megabyte of these books . these books are about 1 gig !!
these book installation program started from desktop and continued the installation on my PDA phone . ( Skyscape medical book )
i have Xperia X1 but there is not any problem for installing all of these book
help me please
sorry for my bad english
These books are installed from CAB or an EXE on PC?
Are they in some custom format of PDF/DOC?
Are other programs/games installing fine or they decrease internal storage too?

thanks for your attention
these books are installed from exe but final installation procedure complete from device .
any program installation ( from CAB files ) decrease internal memory too .
i think this is a mistake from sumsung for memory control to prevent huge installation of program !
help me if there is any way to correct this problem for me
I would try a hard reset because it's clearly something wrong with your system. If this not help you could flash another ROM version.
Or maybe you have some backup software running in background?
I'm using stock WM6.5 ROM and have installed ~250MB GPS software with no problems.
thanks
thanks for your reply
hard reset 2 times but the problem not resolved
my windows version is 6.5 stock and any backup program not running .
strange to me too ! probably hardware problem ?
Is this happenning when you're installing to My Storage (not Storage Card)?
Have you tried other microSD card?
It may be a hardware problem. Is your phone under free warranty service?
yes when i try to install on my storage this problem occured. because of 16 gig capacity i don't use memory card separately. there is a warranty service for my phone but it is not normal to me for service my only 1 month omnia !
I have my Xperia for 1 year without any problem and my previous motorola,nokia and sony ericson havenot any problem for years ! this is my first samsung devise and a bad impression
Try an application like Cleartemp or resco explorer (to empty recycle bin) to clear temporary memory .......

thanks , i test this way . hope for problem solving
The problem wont be resolved. This is happening because the installation path has been hardcoded into the cab file. So no matter what installation location you choose, it will install to phone memory, which is limited to around 150 MB. To resolve this problem contact the manufacturer of the software.

Hi dear
there isn't any problem for installation of these book or other program on my Xperia X1i .
The installation location can be choosen for omnia 2 but after installation the amount of internal memory decrease too ! ( this is strange loss ).
i flash my xperia x1 and upgrade to win mo 6.5 , no any problem occured : i can install any program in memory card and my internal memory has it's amount ( no decrease ) .
