I killed my ramdisk. Them fixed it. - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I used "Storage card tools" to format my ramdisk on himalaya ( XDA II ), and now I have no ramdisk !!!!
Did hard reset but ramdisk is still not there !!!
I reflushed my WM5 ( C_ShekharAKU3.5b.R40.P24 ) but the ramdisk is still not there !!!
Please !! Help me !!!

make sure you hardreet by cleaning the registery HIVE and all....

At last ....
Finally, after 8 hours ...
Installed WM2003
Used hima doc tools to RESTORE the storage, and then make it back to 30 meg.
then installed WM5 again.
It worked !

Problems after Start HimaClearJumpCode.exe

Hello,
i do something wrong,
i start the HimaClearJumpCode.exe on my XDAII, and now
the XDA always in the USB/Serial V1.01 mode and any
reset or remove battery don't restart.
could someone have a idea how to reset it?
Regards
Markus
Why do you start this file ????
AFAIK this file is used during the update-process by the
HimalayUpgrade and should never be used manually.
And AFAIK it definitly thrashes your as it jumps into the bootloader.
Try to describe what you want to do !!!
Alex
you can restore your device by running the HimeUpgradeUt.exe with the xda2 cradled. it will take a minute orso before it starts.
by running the HimaClearJumpCode.exe you have erased the first 256k of your rom.
normally this is done by the upgrade tool, which first makes a backup of this part of the rom ( 80040000-80080000 ) to the top 256k ( 81fc0000-82000000 )
then runs HimaClearJumpCode.exe, then resets the device, to enter the bootloader.
and after it is done flashing other parts, it copies back the saved rom part.

hi, I am one of those stupids who did this **** again. In the restoring method, u mentioned that one has to run the HimeUpgradeUt.exe with xda2 cradled. U didn't mention if i need to have the Extended ROM in the same folder where HimeUpgradeUt.exe resides. Do I need to do place the Extended ROM image(.nbf) to that folder. If so, please suggest me a appropriate English Extended ROM name. I have searched at the ftp but unfortunately I could hardly understand by the naming of the ROM on the ftp. I want my XDAII back. please help.

How to unlock/unhide the Extended Rom in JAM/qtek s100

hi everybody, i am kinda newbe here
i hope everybody is fine and having good tiem wid their jams/qtek
can any body tell me How to unlock/unhide the Extended Rom in JAM/qtek s100
thanks
raheel
From another post (just search before asking )
Even Resetting is not necessary, just locate the file in your Windows folder ( it may be hidden, so don't use File Explorer on your PPC, but from your Desktop PC or Total Commander on your PPC) and tap on it. In File Explorer the Ext Rom folder wil be visible without any need to reset. Once you have done that, the next time you reset ( hard or soft) the extended rom will be hidden again. To counter that, just copy loadVDisk.exe from your Windows folder to the Sart-up folder, it will be loaded after every reset and the Ext Rom will stay visible.
Ok for the unhide, what about the unlock to delete and write to it ? ;-)
There is a full thread about this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18677
Si même les français ne cherchent pas :wink:
Hum...did you read my question ? As I fasr as I ca can tell, this thread deals with UNHIDING the Extended ROM or does your link mean it is not possible to UNLOCK the ER on the Magician, you might as well have said so instead of posting a link.
I also see many people talk only about UNHIDE.
I search the wiki.xda-developers.com and found that The Magician doesn't have Disk On Chip like XDAII. The ExtROM of the Magician is not locked Read Here
What we need is Somebody to write a program to deal with the ExtROM.
i need to unhide as well accessible Ext rom as it has some free space i think round about 10MB, i want to use this space as JAM has very less memory to install other sofwares, soo is there any utility yo unhide and then can made accessible read/write ext rom.
I don't see any software to do such thing.
thanks for the link, "writing to this flash memory can be done in way very similar to how pnewbootloader flashes the bootloader. use extreme care when doing so. one typing mistake may destroy your device. there are no safeguards" doesn't sound too good does it !

Extended ROM of Jasjar

Did anyone make visualble the Extended ROM of Jasjar?
I can't do that yet!
Hi...
I don't think that JasJar have an extended ROM,since it's got Magneto as the original operating system...This means that it uses the ROM chips for 2 purposesperating system,and the rest as storage since it's got persistent memory...
Am using Magneto on my Himalaya since the beginning,and never had an extended ROM...unlike SE I used to have on my device...
RAGO :lol:
Hi!
Thanks, i also have been used Himalaya with WM5.0. but it has Extende ROM, and i accessed.
And Jasjar, after hard reset, the installation of cabs files can be seen.
So think it has,but not sure....
those installation CABs were not in the visualble rom. i hope it exist.
i want to teke the MMS client from Jasjar for my Himalaya!

Hi Asukal...
Do u mean u have ms_.nbf on Himalaya running Magneto,or u mean by extended ROM the 15 MB that became storage now..?
Concerning the installation of cab files on JasJar,do u think it's the 2577 folder method that M$ use,or u think that it has an extended ROM that u can install by flashing like ms_.nbf...?
Then probably ur right...and JasJar have extended ROM hidden out there in ROM,that runs the cabs after hard reset... :?
RAGO :lol:
Ok, so if you see the installs start after a hard reset, can you soft-reset before it kicks in and avoid the operator-spam programs being installed? Or is there anything vital in there which means you have to take the branding?

Thanks, i did it already, and tried to use many version of Extended ROM unlocker (including Himalaya WM5 i used before)
But any of them were no effect!
based on HTC Universal WIKI (by itsme) their is 10MB in Universal for Extended_ROM ..
can you export your Registry please and if possible make a full rom backup using this command
d2s 70000000 08000000
or just the extended_rom
d2s 74100000 00a00000
and upload it in the ftp please ..
tnx ..
-toe
or how about
changing the value of MountHidden to 0 found in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
then soft reset
im very much interest on Arcsoft MMS Composer v3.0.0.25 ..
-toe
Hello, seeing on a previous post, someone said the Storage available was 42 Megs!
Can you confirm?!?
blue angel has 60 Megs (When Ext Rom is deleted)
...
Btw the EXT ROM cab files from the JasJar would probably be very useful for Himalayas and Blue Angels!

Thanks Guys!
1;Memory Alocation of Jasjar was shown here!
No any Storage with this device like a BA.

i did this already, but no extended rom can be visuable....
4;Please instruct me how and what i can do this command
Please!

5;Some kinds of files in windows folder on Jasjar, replaced but no effect :roll: (like a wince.nls, or mui files..i reported on another thread)
Does anyone have idea how to effect?
wince.nls i made with Platform Bulder and also taken from SDK emu image can work Himalaya WM5.0 1.6h--but not on ther version.

Thanks, i got first step to make dump.bin.
But sorry i cant procceed to step 2.......
i upload this bin and hope someboady help me do!
tnx Asukal ..
the dump.bin doesnt entirely get wat we expected .. but its okih maybe it has different physical address since it has totally new different spec than old devices ..
can you try the other image dumper by mamaich (try to set it to 128 MB)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=149665#149665
and let see waht will happen
btw ..heres the instructions .. (sorry i was so busy lately so i just post a link :wink: )
kill wcescomm.exe
put the device in cradle then go to bootloader .. light + power + reset
run mtty.exe/romupdate.exe and choose USB or ..\\WCEUSBSH001
then make the d2s command
d2s 70000000 08000000
or
d2s 74100000 00a00000
btw unlike the HIMALAYA MAGNETO i think it will hard reset your device if you press those three buttons but im not really sure ..
tnx ..
-toe
i did following command with mmty/ROMupdate.exe
d2s 70000000 08000000
or
d2s 74100000 00a00000
but errors came for both command
*didnt happen hard reset aftre came back from bootloader
TestDump.exe you told me,
it was freezed on the progress! no more progress!
How should i do??
A little bit off topic, sorry :lol:
I read in some forum that you could not change the OS language in Jasjar, while other specifications indicate you can
Can anyone tell me if you can change the OS language fro say German to English (and how)?
Thanks :wink:
Change OS language, originaly, Mr, mamaich teached me how!
You can found his letter for me in english.
Please see the lower side of following page,
you can find engilish
http://asukal.seesaa.net/article/4802209.html
then you also find how to make MUI files to discribe english interface
from following page

Good luck!
i could see ExtROm with Total Comander<Mr,Mamaich told me this way.
But i couldnt copy to any other folder yet, even change attributes.
for your refference. i think not so many cabs and not interesting one.
But need MMS client!

The first megabyte at 0x0 is mapped through the MMU http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Technical
and should be dumped properly.
It is also possible to use the haret.exe from
http://sdgsystems.com/pub/ipaq/hx4700/starterkit/20050611/
as a ROM/RAM dumper.
HaRET will tell a lot of other useful information:
where the video framebuffer is located and show the MMU page table.
Thanks so much!
But i already got the all cab files from Extended Rom last night (GMT +8)
and tried to upload many times, but ccould not yet!
I will try later from my office after three hours!
I couldnt find MMS client in them.
I saw it was on the rom but not on extended rom.
Also MMS client was not by a CAB files, we must pick up from dumped rom files.......
thanks!

[Question] allmost all programs don't work and can't install a thing

Hi all!
Like the title says: no programs are working and i can't instal a cab or exe file.
I used XDAndroid 2.1 (rel 2.1c) for a while and this evening my battery went low and my device turned off..
No i recharged it and try to run android again but it says : The file/program 'Haret' ( * or every program what i'm trying to run * ) couldn't be opened/executed ... ( * i'm dutch so a little difficult to find out what it says on english winmo. * )
So i thought a hard reset would fix it, but as i'm wanting to backup some text messages. i found out i couldn't install the program i always use. Then something else but nothing works.. when i press the .cab file ( or exe from computer ) it says: "Installation of XXXX.CAB was unsuccessful."
So am i unlucky and do i have to hard reset and lose some stuf ( not the things on my SD right? )
or can i fix it an other way?
Thanks!
SOLVED: had to hardreset :S

[Q] booting an rom present in storage card

guys i have playing around the registries and i saw that i can boot a rom present at the location mentioned .but the problem is that it cant boot an .nbh format file..Its booting files present in it can any body help me extracting all the files in an rom ....if this worked it will profit all the win32 users alot who are faceing flashing problem this is simplest method i found ....plz after getting solutions n after making sure ill let u know guys how it done i dont want nebody taking this riskk....sooo plz
what reg keys are you talking about here??

hiii ..the registries were like h_key/localmachine/init/bootvars/masterkeyfiledictorie it was /windows by default..i used my extrom that is /storagecard/windows/ well its booting the folder but due 2 lack of some file getting switched .off....kkk..lets see im not gonna give up ...ORTHER PLEASE DONNOT TRY THIS ITS VERY RISKY UR CELL MIGHT GO DEAD SO PLEASE..well hopes so this work still waiting of our members to a conclusion....
i'm just guessing here coz i don't have that much of in-depth know-how about it but...err...even if your system theoretically worked, wouldn't that reg key only be present and accessible when there is a proper booting Windows based OS on the device first...
as far as i am aware of (and that awareness is very limited in scope at this point in time) Windows is the only OS using the sorta reg keys we use (do correct me if i'm wrong)
and assuming that even if we do get it to boot from an external location, for instance a mem card, wouldn't that still mean that we would require a Windows base on the device memory first...
isn't that kinda redundant??
and suppose we keep an absolutely clean ROM on the device and have a loaded ROM in an external location and then boot off of it...our GENE's processor and RAM are still not powerful enough to deal with the added load on it...
now don't get me wrong...i'm not trying to put you down...i would even help in any way if possible but i just don't what it is you're trying to do because i fail to see how this would alleviate the problem of flashing in any manner...
may i also suggest you post you idea up in the WinMo Development thread so that you can catch the attention of other advanced users who could help you out or shed some light on the use of the reg key...
u haven't put me down ..wat u said was n is absoulately correct .thankin u from bottom of the heart for giving such an precious knowledge 2 us.n pls help me with sum more ideas in future regarding this thread pls pls ........thankinn u n hve a greatday....;-)
just because you hit a stumbling block here doesn't mean you have to pass up on it...
try posting stuff that you find out that hasn't been tried/used well before on the WinMo Q & A or Dev thread...you never know what sorta breakthrough you might make...people here are incredibly helpful but the only way they (we?) can help you is if you are gonna share information that you have...

POSTING THREAD UNCESSARLY MAY PROVE DANGEROUS BECAUSE WE GUYS FLOOD THE SERVERS N THE ADMINISTRATION MAY GET UPSET SO PREFER REPLIES INSPITE OF REPLING WITH NEW THREAD ....BECAUSE I'VE SEEN MANY GUYS DOING THIS.....have a nice day
guys guys my solution is working ...u wanna know does ur memory card has the folder WINDOWS on the root..
.well if not don't worry ..
1-if u are having .net framework 3.5 cab install it on the storage card ..after tht u will windows folder on ur sd root "ROOT-the folders which r welcomed or opened when u open or execute storage card through explorer..
NoW things tht u need to boot rom on storage card r
1- resco explorer latest version install it ..n if u r havin it check whiether it not an expired version ...
2- run the resco explorer ..one good thing is tht resco has an regedit s\w in it which we will require after wards ..
3-configure resco explorer ..n then in menu\option\ general\ browser uncheck all options n press ok button...
4-go on windows folder not the one on storage card outside it ...the windows folder where all the rom files are present ...and select all files on in the windows folder..
5- after tht a long tab on it thn select property..uncheck all except ROM option cause it not possilble to do so ...after tht press ok...
6-now start copying file from windows to \storage card\windows ....it take a very long time and do make sure tht u have 120 mb on storage card ...
7- while copying u will hve to keep pressing "yes" button all the time whenever required ...because copying denied by sum file but thts okay ...n don't lose u patient while doing so ...action stopped due to sum reson u may continue by same proccedure but "skip all "file already copied.....after finishing ....go to resco registry...
8-in resco registry open HkEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init\BootVars and modify the string value of MasterKeyFileDir from
\windows to \storage card\windows
pls don't mistake it with backslash"/" it ALWAYS "\" in registry ...now what
9-its finished n u all done but plz check all file copied I know sum file couldnot be copied but don't worry thoose file are .dll files mainly containing registry and work according with HKEY's ...
now do a softreset let it boot n after booting let it settle down for few minutes for the 1st 15min it goes slow but after ward goesssss very smoth....
note:-THIS CONDITION GOES TRUE IF U R HAVING GENE THAT IS HTC P3400 OR HTC P3400i BECAUSE ITS TESTED WITH GENE OTHER PLEASE DON'T NOT TRY IF U TRY AND CAUSE ANY DAMAGE TO UR OS OR ANY OTHER RELATED THING ...I AND XDA ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR IT"
10- BEFORE I EXIT ONE MORE THING THIS ARE TEMPORARY CHANGES WHICH MAY BE CHANGED AFTER U HARD RESET UR MOBILE N U CAN FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION IF U HAD N HARD RESET UN WILLINGLY.......
have a nice day n sry abt my english ....pls give a feed back .....
regarding your first post ->
before i begin i'd like to make to assumption, one for me and one on your part...
assumption 1: your project aims at getting a ROM to boot up from the memory card instead of the very limited phone memory
assumption 2: you believe booting off the memcard will improve on the performance and speed
now let me get to the point-
if you dump a stock ROM or even a cooked ROM what you will get is a huge number of files and modules...alongwith a .rgu and .reg files...tons of them...
now simply copying them over to the mem card won't make it work...
the .reg and .rgu files which contain all the registry entries for the software need to be added into the system registry (which is ironically located in the phone memory) for the program to function as most of them maintain settings and records and certificates on the registry and access and refer to them while running
now this work or adding the registry entries is usually done by the kitchen for us cooks...
it can be done by hand as well but the sheer amount of time and patience required for it to be done this way is way to overwhelming....
and it can only be entered by hand if there already is an operating system functioning on the device
so for now...i'm leaving that out as an option...because basically no reg entries mean no OS
our gene are able to read mem card higher than 4 Gb because the SDHC drivers required for this to be possible are cooked in with our devices...
SDHC cards do not work with stock 5.0 and 6.0 WM ROMs because they can't recognize/handle them...
now about your second post ->
what you've done is copied your system files onto your mem card and made your system boot into it...
the only way to know if it is genuinely booting up with the file in mem card and NOT with the ones in the phone memory \Windows folder is by deleting the files from phone memory...
and even then, you'll still be accessing the registry from phone memory to get the files from the mem card to function probably
now a request to you...
i want to know what exactly it is that you are trying to do...
you mentioned you wanted to get a ROM working this way to ease the burden of flashing...but this wouldn't help at all as it would still require a running OS on the phone and also need corresponding reg entries for a different ROM loaded on the mem card if you were to boot into one from there...
its just that i'm losing point to what you are aiming to do...
if i understood it better i could even help a bit myself...i've been cooking ROMs for a fairly long time so i could even provide ROMs dumps if needed...
so if you could, just write down a few lines about what you want to achieve via this...
Brother wat u said is correct...e1 im tryin to reduce the flashing accident without excepting any reward ...I've been a victim of flashing.losing my gene dead so.
frist I was scared after completeing the procedure tht my mobile might get stuck on bootloader mode but fortunately it started ...after looking at the registry sawed tht while booting it take help of the files present in documents n setting folder rest everything from windows which now is \storage card\ windows getting RAM free near 50% ...but the problem is tht flash a rom files go in windows folder im looking to change tht scenerio over here ....belive me the speed is improved a bit while multi-taskIng ..so I can say i ve 5% success...pls post sum ideas or question u may get....'''IDEA GIVES BRITH TO INVENTIONS''' tc
have a look at the ExtenDir project...you'll find it in a quick search
