Browsing through my files, I bumped into something unexpected in my Device directory (see picture). Is this a NAND problem? How can I get rid of it?
It looks more like corrupt entries on the memory card. The reason I say this is I have had a few memory cards corrupt on me for whatever reason.
The way I have fixed that in the past has been to backup the device over ActiveSync (MS) and then hard reset the device after COPYING the data off the card onto the PC using a memory card reader / adapter.
The reason for copying and not moving is that with moving it changes the contents of the disk, which invariably made it harder to get the file off that I wanted.
Once the files were off and the device was clean I would reformat the memory card, pop it back in the phone, then having set it up and changed all the names to match what the old device was would plug it into the laptop and restore the data, and, er, reinstall from scratch.
Anyway, sorry to ramble on. This is assuming its a corrupt disk/memory issue in that way. Otherwise, just ignore me
PS. My hermes has a problem with Nand as well I think
I would agree if it were corruption files on memory card (same bad experience as well). However, corruption files are on Storage!
Have you recently upgraded to WM6 either OEM or modified?!
A week ago I upgrade to Shamanix Ultimate 2.0 ROM (see my signature). Before that, I had been on Schaps 4.30 and Custel WM6 ROM.
Somebody told me half a year ago that BigStorage may be dangerous - bringing up nand threat. I am trying to confirm this

So this could then be relational to the upgrade? Have you tried downgrading to the previous versions to resolve this?!

No, I see no sense in it. So far so good. If it should affect performance in any way, then I probably would.
For starters, I'll try to HR, and restore backup, then will see

Hi there, thanx again and again for your eccellent work!
I got into a heavy rain the other day and when I picked my toy from the waterproof compartement of my backback it was completely soaked! :shock:
And after a lot of fancy flashing and ringing, that I could only stop by hard resetting it, it went dead altogether.
Now it dried up again I'm kind of surprised to find it actually works again only it obviously lost all it's memory. And after honestly following every single thread and reading every post, I give up and finally post a question.
Used to be Rom 3.14 and Radio Stack 3.16.xx (I don't remember) all german O2. Bootloader 5.15.
My problem is, that whenever I try to get a rom image (the newest version of the german Programm A - which is an .nbf file after extracting)
onto my SD card (Scandisk 256 MB), it will stop immediately after I hit the OK Button in the XDArite App, outputting 'Successfully copied image of 65538 blocks'. Obviously it didn't because I figure it would need quite some minutes to copy 30 MB of data onto the SD card. And the bootloader doesn't recognise anything on the card.
In the beginning I could read the card under XP and could save all my data, but now after trying XDArit a couple of times I can't read the card anymore under XP (it still shows up as a removable Harddisk in the explorer but Windows can't even format the card anymore). :?
Does anybody have any suggestions on that matter, I would very much appreciate that!!
Have you recently downloaded the new version of XDArit? If so: be advised that there's now two other people that seem to be having problems they did not have on the first version. So you could try the old version, still around at http://xda-developers.com/XDArit/old
You may to also read the page for the warning on the old version.
(We created /old/ subdirs for all our software, by the way)
XDArit needs a rehaul, and we know it. We currently don't have much time, and this would be a good project for a coding volunteer. We have plenty of good ideas as to what should be in there.
Same problem, It doesn't actualy write to the card ?
Same problem... this is how I fixed it... the old version may work better for you (but I've never used it). http://www.xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1451
Thanks for your reply, Ive requested assistance from the author of the post you suggest, but i`ll ask you the same question. Any chance of the recompiled file so that I could try it.
Many thanks in advance BORIS.
Sorry to ask this question which I know has been covered in so many other topics - but thats the problem - the topics are scattered and the answers are varied.
I have a Wizard derivative - an O2 XDA Mini S.
I have run the unlocking wizard and it is now unlocked.
I now want to
a. Backup the exisitng ROM
b. Backup the External ROM
c. Load an updated ROM.
I have tried the 'Unlock EXT ROM Wizard' - but still can't see the External ROM (in Total Commander for example) to back it up.
Can someone post a precise set of instructions for the step by step process for doing a. to c. above.
I am sure that others will find it useful as there still appears to be many posts from confused 'novices' to PPC (like me) who are trying various procedures on a hit and miss basis with varied success.
I just did the backup bit today.
Download aWizard 1.3b2
Run it, run the RAPI server using the 'e' command, wait till it starts, unlock the CID using 'u', then you can backup using the 'b' command, give it a name to backup to, and wait 15 or so minutes and it'll backup your GSM, OS, and Extended roms.
As for flashing, you can use the aWizard tool if you have the .nba rom files.
Or you can use one of the pre-packaged roms + flashers like the iMate one... but, that's where it gets a little perilous. AFAIK, the latest iMate rom will flash a locked Extended rom onto the device, which you can not edit any longer. So until someone figures out how to unlock the Extended rom, be careful.
My other idea would be to take the iMate full rom and break it up into the GSM, OS, and Extended roms. Once you do that, instead of using the pre-packaged flasher and rom, use aWizard to flash the GSM and OS roms and do the Extended part manually. Then you can keep an unlocked Extended rom (of your stock image) incase you ever want to revert to stock (since you backed up the stock GSM and OS roms in the first step).
Where is the aWizard 1.3b2. The unlocker I have is called lockiwizo2b and there is no u option.
Read the upgrading portion of the wizard forums, its all over the place there.
PS, be absolutely sure you want to upgrade, once you change, there is no going back, I did mine, I'd like to go back, but cannot.

Sure you can.
If you have an SD image you can go back to the T-Mobile original US load with no problem at all. You DID make an SD image of the ROM before you screwed around, right?
The SPL will not downgrade (you probably can do that by running the RUU for the "hacked-up" earlier Imate version with the 1.x SPL/IPL) but I've found no particular reason to.
I have verified that an SD image restore to the original T-Mo US firmware works from the Imate shipping RUU.
Genesis.
What is the best method for making the SD Image?
I would also like to know.
I would also like to know if the original Extended rom can be backed up after the iMate rom overwrites it.

You need:
1. A terminal program that can speak over the USB port. Terraterm has a patched version out which can do this.
2. A CID-unlocked device (it will NOT work if its not CID-unlocked!)
3. A SD card of 128MB or larger (buy a 128MB for just this purpose, as its a great backup device)
To use it:
1. Get into the tri-color screen (hold CAMERA, reset) and plug into the USB port.
2. Kill wcescomm.exe from Windows XP (this is the ActiveSync driver for the USB port)
3. Start your terminal porgram
4. Hit "return" to insure you have a command prompt.
5. Make sure your 128MB SD card is in the slot.
6. Type "r2sd all" and hit return.
The loader will dump the entire ROM (including extended ROM) to the SD card.
Note that this is NOT a file on a FAT filesystem - its a RAW data dump with a signature and checksum. As such you CANNOT read it onto your computer using a copy - you need a tool like "psdread" to read it from the card to a file on your PC.
If you use a NEW card, you can search for the end of valid data or do what I do and dump the entire 128MB (which is larger than the dump file for certain) and then just compress it - all the trailing zeros will compress to basically nothing.
Stick the card somewhere safe.
To RESTORE from the SD card, insert it with the power off in the Wizard, then power on while holding the CAMERA button. With the older ROMs the backlight will be OFF; with the new IMATE one it will be ON. It will tell you to press the VOICE key to load from the SD card. Do so, it verifies the integrity of the dump and loads it.
Note that the prompt only comes up for a few seconds and if you're using a 1.x release of firmware when you do this the backlight is OFF so its hard to see - but its there. Grab a flashlight if necessary.
Once you load something else on your unit from stock of course you can't go back unless you did this FIRST. This was the first thing I did when I got my MDA, so I have a copy of the T-Mobile "base software" on the SD card in case I pooch my device and need to go back to the OEM firmware.
Thanks Genesis. Very helpful guide.
I did another search on the forum using different search words and I found this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37386&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
and it looks like this is does the same thing - but without having to use other programmes like Terraterm.

You, sir, are my new hero. You win 3 internets for this post.
Although, what would happen if I used my existing 512mb minisd card with apps already on it? Will it dump to a file and I can compress at that point? You mentioned it was non-readable on the card if I did that. I've already backed up the stock ROM using the aWizard tool, but if I used your method with a miniSD that had files already on it, would it blindly write to it, clobbering files, or write something to the card that was unreadable via a PC (basically not as a file on the filesystem), and if I put more stuff on the miniSD like apps or media, it'll overwrite the backup of the image?
If you do this to a card with data on it you will pooch all the data - it will scribble right on top of the FAT tables and destroy them.
Second, you won't know where the data you dumped ends. To be safe you should save 128MB of the card (from the front) to your file on the PC. This will result in a larger-than-necessary file, but that's ok.
You need tools like "psdread" and "psdwrite" to read and write the SD card in "raw" format - it is NOT a file that gets dumped, but just a RAW image of the ROM (with checksums)!
The only other "gotcha" is that depending on the EXACT configuration of the data you dump the SD card may refuse to reformat to its original capacity when you're doing doing this and/or refuse to reformat at all!
That's fixable by writing a block of zeros (e.g. 10kb or so worth) to the front of the card, which will clear what's confusing Windows (and the phone).

interesting. if I got a $10 128mb minisd, though, I wouldn't really care to use it in anything else other than this phone. I have a 512mb already for daily usage, so the 128mb would be for a backup incase I want to revert to the standard OOB rom from T-Mobile.
As long as the rom is written to the card and will read from if I choose to restore, I don't care if windows ever reads from the card again.

That's the tool I was talking about. This will dump the roms to a file on your PC that is readable. You can edit stuff, rewrite it back to the device, etc.
But what I haven't gotten a definitive answer on is whether you can flash the iMate extended rom and then overwrite it at a later date with the original t-mobile extended rom, since the iMate one is locked or something. Genesis' method involves using a miniSD to create a raw image of a newly booted phone, GSM/OS/Extended rom and all, which you can keep somewhere safe incase you ever want to revert. Apparently, even after flashing the iMate rom with the locked Extended rom, he was capable of re-flashing the device with the original rom from the miniSD.
This is exactly what I am looking for. I want to switch to the iMate rom, and know the order all the cabs in the extended rom need to be installed for it to work properly, but I was afraid I could never revert to the OOB experience. This fixes that, and I will be ordering a 128mb card tonight.
I downloaded Tera Term from http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002416/teraterm.html is this the right one? It only has COM ports as options to communicate.
Can someone please provide a link to a terminal program I can download which works over USB?
Hi,
I followed your instructions for making a backup of my ROM to an SD Card. I have a small problem, I don't have a card reader for my PC, is there any way to get the ROM image onto my PC via my Wizard? Also since the Wizard doesn't think the MiniSD card exists anymore, is there anyway to raw write those 0's to the card from the Wizard.. perhaps using terraterm? Or have I just killed my MiniSD card and I'm going to have to buy a reader for my PC ?
Thanks!

You need a card reader in your PC (or a friend's PC) - I do not know of a way to write it directly in the MDA.

Ok thanks, I've got one from a friend now, so all good I was looking at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HimalayaBootloaderCommands to see if there were any bootloader commands for writing to sd card, but it appears you can only copy the ROM to the SD, besides, this is for a different phone anyway.
Ok I may have found something: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=XdaUtils/psdwrite.exe claims to be able to write raw to the SD card on a WinCE device... I'll investigate.
I'm currently reading the image raw from the MiniSD card using the command "psdread -1 0 0x0F140000 sd.img" using a 256MB MiniSD and it appears to be working, albit slowly. I'll keep you informed of whether I can succesfully recover my SD card using the writer after this read finishes.
Hi, since I upgraded my SPL to 1.54/1.56, i've tried installing both Dutty WM6.1 v2.9 and Mira WM6.5 v8.1 but neither of them seems to like my storage card, i have to do soft reset for it to recognise the card, but after a while the card will disappear again...

I've seen one other user with the same issue. What type / brand of SD card are you using? Trying to narrow down what is causing this... he had the same issue with same rom(s).
its the SanDisk 8GB SDHC one - one that came by default with Orange UK contract.
Btw, I did upgrade to the offcial 1.54/56 ROM before upgrading to the 2 ROMs above.

Maybe it's got to do with the power management policies the Chef applied. Try to use schaps' Advanced Config 3.3 to disable SD Card Power Management and see if it helps.
Also, some caches and DMA could be the culprits but first let's see about power management.
The Power Management is disabled.
Also, 1 thing I particularly noticed is when I open Windows Media player, attempt to update my library on storage card, it can find all my music files, but when it attempt to add the music to the library, it doesnt. and then the sd card disappear from File Explorer, WMP libary option.
Backup your sd card to your PC, and reformat it. Had the same problem, fixed with a format

I have the same SanDisk8GB SDHC one - default card which came with the phone. Same thing happned. It has become very slow to access, and practically useless, the phone cannot detect the card. If put into the computer with the adapter then also it is the same computer cannot read it or sometimes takes too long, cannot format. this happened after the 1.54/56 rom.
Happened to me also with some custom ROM.
I used my warranty to exchange the SD card.
My advice : backup your SD card when you can, from time to time.
Same Thing
Same thing happenned to my card. Same default card that came with the phone. But I have SPL 1.14 which I have had for a while now. I just flashed to a Miri ROM and it started happenning. I will try reformatting to see if it helps.
did you remove the sd-card when you flashed?

I am "others" too.
I tried every hint I could find on the forum including disabeling the SD card power management and setting the PnP values higher.
Nothing works (and I have a Apacer 8GB card)
For me it narrowed down to:
1) Hardware faulty or
2) Hardware cannot "cope" with 8GB .
I've called HTC in the US - which where very friendly brw - and the lady said that most handsets are only guaranteed / tested to work with 4GB cards, Although there are other handsets in other countries who where sold with an 8GB card as a bundle.
Today I called HTC "support" centre in "New Zealand" and the phillipin/indian/nepalese customer service lady told me that my handset had been parallel imported and therefore needs to be send back to the NETHERLANDS for a diagnosis / repair!
I told her that if she would'nt give the number of their authorised repair centre in NZ I might have to think to contact Ministry for consumer law. So I got the number and I will go there now, cheking what the story is..will keep you updated.

EDIT: gurluver I think you're right! I downgraded my device now back to spl 1.14 and no problems anymore. As I am discussing this with crackwhore it seems that
1) some countries's touch hd might have a different hardware
2) however even though I have downgraded to official HTC ROM spl 1.14 (and the card is working fine then) as soon as I upgrade to offical and / or other spl 1.56 the problem appears again.
Conclusion: I have to go and (probaley argue) with HTC and see if they are willing to either fix it or send me a new device.
Will keep you posted
so to sum up, i guess i'll have to try these when i have sometime, and see what happens after each step, and only go to next step if previous step works.
- restore to Orange UK ROM SPL 1.14
- upgrade to Official WWE SPL 1.54/56
- Try another 1.54/56 ROM.
- Format the card
- Install SD tune up
I'll report back here my result.
update...
i have flashed my device several times, at least 15 times,.always using USB activesync, never thru the stotage card. I have v1.14 and I have never had a problem. After rebooting the phone a couple of times, I got my card to reappear today long enough to backup my stuff. Then I formatted the card, put it back in, loaded it up with the same files, and I havent had another problem, though its only been about 8 hours.

restore to orange UK ROM spl 1.14..and you will see that you will be sweet. After I upgraded to official SPL 1.54/56 it didnt work again..and I tried several versions (NDL; came with the phone , EUR & WWE)
I just think that its not right to be "stuck" with spl 1.14 in order to use or card...
SD Card Problem
I had this problem last night. Basically my card just disappeared from the file explorer. Could not connect it to disk drive mode or anything. Took the card out, re-inserted and the card would appear for a few seconds and then go again. Soft re-setted and it would appear for a bit then disappear.
Done a hard reset and the card still would only appear for a while until I tried to access it then it would disappear.
I eventually narrowed my problem down to something I had installed on the card which was MaxTTM. After deleting this folder from my card, it remained visible. Been working fine ever since. I didn’t have to delete my music or video files which make up around 6-7gb of my card. From now on I think I’ll install my software on the phone as opposed to memory card. My card is a 16gb Sandisk.
When the problem happened to me, first, only some directories had disapeared. Or at leat I couldn't access to them.
Even with a µSd card reader on the PC.
I formated it with the storage tool, on the HD, because the PC would'nt see it.
A week later, I couldn't access to the card anymore. Neither on the HD, nor on the PC.
I concluded that the card was destroyed.
Hopefully it was still under warranty.
I don't blame the cooked ROM I was using. Maybe the SDtuneup with some parameters I entered with Advanced config tool did the mess.
Like power management.
My first SD corruption occured when the card was almost full, and I was downloding a file with Opera. In the meantime I plugged in my PC in mass storage mode. I recognize my error. But instead of simply having a file system corruption, why did it destroyed the card ?
Because after then, the card access was longer. Perhaps the system was trying to recover some bad sectors ? I'm working in phone industry, and we do a lot of tests on these kind of use cases. So I can't beleive HTC hardware isn't that robust.
In my case, it ended with a hardware destruction. Even on other devices (with other OS/ ROM) it also failed reading.
Bad luck with a weak µSD card ?

I've sent my device in for diagnosis / repair / swap . I will update you what's happened. Good Idea with writing to HTC though
I had also an old Sandisk 6 GB card and copied to it the content from 8 GB card (which came with HD). That solved my (SD disappering) problem !
I have Pocket ScummVM and Pocket UAE on an SD (not SDHC) card, and up until two days ago they both ran fine, yesterday i upgraded my radio stack and now whenever i run either of these apps they stick in the loading state and i have to soft reset to terminate them. I can still run Sim City 2000 from the SD card so i'm wandering if it's some kind of transfer bottleneck/issue.
radio: latest (1.18)
rom: latest tomal WM 6.1
will try copying everything off the card, reformatting and copying it back, see if that helps

I can still run Sim City 2000 from the SD card so i'm wandering if it's some kind of transfer bottleneck/issue.
radio: latest (1.18)
rom: latest tomal WM 6.1
will try copying everything off the card, reformatting and copying it back, see if that helps

Try to reinstall the apps
seems to be general issues, last night adobe flash claimed to be out of memory, when there should be plenty, so i'm wandering if it's a RAM issue and nothing to so with the SD card or apps specifically. The Tomal rom includes a flash disk which s taking up 16mb can i turn that off somehow?
cycloid, the flash disk doesn't take up 16mb.
please read wiki Memory and Storage Types
so many people seem to make this same mistake
either the cook is very nice and gives you a flash disk, or you don't have one, and that memory is lost to you completely
thanks for pointing me at that info, ramdisk is actually quite cunning then!. I still suspect i have a ram or general memory marshalling issue, hmm..
fixed kinda. I had the 9.6 tomal rom, put 8.81 on it and all is good.
Hi there,
On my old HTC Diamond I installed everything to phone memory and so when I flashed it I just reinstalled all my apps. However, this time I have installed a large amount of them to the storage card. I don't remember my Diamond's storage card being flashed - so thats not the issue (I will probably remove the card before doing it anyway) - but my question is will my phone still see the installed apps on the memory card and put them in the start menu etc? Or will I be better off just uninstalling everything and re-doing it from scratch?
Also, is the new HTC Rom available in the UK yet?
bump?
surely someone can tell me

Check your HTC site in the UK to answer your own question.
Perhaps you should read more about how a flash works before you try with your HD2. Think of it this way: You have two hard disks in your computer, C and D. With Windows XP on C you installed all your programs on D. Then you decided to install Windows 7 on drive C, which copied over your XP. Do you think that Windows 7 will run the programs in D? The answer is obviously no.
The situation is similar when you flash a new ROM. With a file manager you could see the programs on your storage card, but that is all. You would have to reinstall all the programs for them to work.
Take care and understand everything you really need to know before you do decide to flash.
