Ext Rom does not load... - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

I have searched the forum,but my problem is a little weired,after upgrading my madio and ce rom image load properly but my extension rom does not,ie the autorun gives me a msg saying "customize in 3 sec" but after that nothing happens,tried a hard reset and reflashing(also from the sd card ) but no luck Could anyone pl help me out in this??

You need to go to wiki and read about the ext rom in the kitchen.
Here you will get a better understanding of what it does, how it works, be able to open it and be able to see if you have anything in it.
Try that first then come back with a tad more info.

"Not Enough Memory" troubleshooting thread

So, some of you have this error, some dont. So lets try and figure it out. Heres what we know.
The problem affects ALL Artemis WM6 ROMS.
Remember, the issue doesnt appear when just using it normally. Its only under certain circumstances. Heres how you re-create the problem.
Run Tomtom, this causes the error90% of the time.
Create a new word document and try to save anywhere.
Heres my setup and what ive tried to fix it.
Device: MDA Compact III
SD Card: 1gb
Ive tried font cache size, system cache, removing the memory card.
Please dont post "I dont get the error" if you havnt tried running tomtom or saving a word document.
Thanks
To add to the problem re-creation, I was trying to copy a directory with around 15 files in it from the internal memory to the storage card, the message just kept popping up for all the duration of the copy process, I stoppped clicking ok eventually. I looked at the free program mempry available then and it was pretty good at around 22mb.
Device: Orbit XDA
SD Card: 1gb
I too have noticed that looking at the free storage space seems to fix it for tomtom (but not word). There is something else wrong with Excel in that the "Save As" is in the wrong place, infact where it is isnt actually save as.
You're right, I haven't noticed this before with excel. I can't remember if it was like this before, was it? It won't be easy figuring this little memory issue out. I hope someone has a trick up their sleeves.
I have the WM6 emulator running on my pc and the excel thing isnt there. Comparing the registry settings on the emulator with my device. I would love to hear if anyone does actually have Word working without issue.
BREAKTHROUGH!
OK. I installed the original Orbit rom and... IT WORKS!!!! So the question is what did bepe and the guys do when they de-branded it? The orbit rom has an Ext-Rom with a load of branded stuff PLUS! some patches. I bet one of these patches fixes the issue!
These custom roms have NO Ext-Rom at all, hence the increased storage space. however in the process of removing the ext rom they have managed to cause these memory errors.
So guys, any chance of a rom close to the Orbit rom but with the English language and Ext rom left in tack?
Great work mate, it is the removal/merging of the extended rom that's causing the problem then. Maybe it's not even a patch in the extended rom, maybe it's the way the extended rom was merged that's causing it. This surely deserves more looking into.
Great breakthrough
Word FIX!
Thanks to pvdhelm for the tip on this one. Attached is a patch to fix the memory issue with word (and only word). To fix it for other apps you need to view the memory in the control panel and click on "Storage Card". The word fix is pernament but the other memory issue it only until you reset your phone.
Absolutely brilliant, so it looks like missing registry entries!! We need to find out what was in the original extended rom then to find out if we're missing anything else. Looks like only me and you here, you should post this fix in the main threads mate.
Cheers and well done.
I have a copy of the rom, tried isntalling it all but to no avail. It looks like on boot up the system thinks it has a different ammount of ram due to the ext rom being merged. By displaying the ammount of storage it realises it has a different ammount and fixes it. Until the next reboot. So if anyone knows what changes when you view the storage that may be fixing it I would love to know.
Or if somone can make a rom with the ext rom still in place.
EDIT: Heres one just for the MDA Compact III without WiFi users. It applys the Word memory errror fix but also fixes the Comm Manager issue and does so just for the MDA as it removes WiFi from the list.
Maybe this is a clue for you all. I have never had these errors, ands I use Tomtom daily and have tested word for you again with no fault.
The difference? Well I upgraded to WM6.0 the original way before USPL patch and flashed the OS only. I'm assuming you with problems used the ROM installer method. Am I right with my assumption? If so that should narrow down the culprit.
I used Bepes original WM6 WWE OS only upgrade, therefore the Ext ROM on my device is still the old T-Mobile WM5 one and was simply not allowed to run. So it can't be right to assume there is something missing from an EXT ROM patch.
It's most certainly the extended rom being merged then, there's nothing else to it.
gajet, can you give me the exact steps you took. I went from the T-Mobile rom to Black and blue then to the others. I uses USPL first though.
Can you give me a quick set of steps you took i.e Original T-Mobile rom, then ran USPL, then updated to Bepes.
Also, if you used bepe's can you also tell me which rom update util you used? as the one ive tried has errors at the end.
Thanks

VERY interesting reading!
If you move this thread, please drop a link on here for us, thanks. The first one to crack this problem will be worshipped from afar I am sure!!
I think it could be an order of upgrade issue, heres the latest.
1. Downgraded to T-Mobile WM5 rom
2. Ran USPL
3. Upgraded to Bepe WM6 using the EXE version
The word issue is no longer there but the out of memory in Tomtom is. Also no ext rom.
It would be good to know from others and gajet what steps they took and which files they uses to do it. Especially as gajet still has his extended rom.
I've tried:
official t-mobile wm5 to german wm6 to bepe uspl &
official t-mobile wm5 to bepe uspl
Both times I have had the error with tomtom but no problems with word.
Both times temp fix (looking at storage) worked (sorry about font cache red herring - thought I was onto something there).
Just tied chi-tai extended battery plugin with the storage showing on the homepage (as a way to force system to get correct memory) but no joy.
I have htc touch com manager and phone skin but not the home plugin.
Cheers
Matt
I think Ive cracked it. Just doing some final testing but watch out for a new "How to" thread.
go Danny go.
Look forward to seeing it.
Will test and report back once you've posted.
Cheers
Matt
Sadly the original thread was edited to reflect the OS update was repackaged but eddie2k still goes on the reexplain the process in this thread.
eddie2k said:
then use winrar to unpack the (bepe) wm6 wwe rom in this page (written in red). flashed using bootloader method.
after u get german rom installed , run ARTE os flash utility from xda ftp (log in properly) link don't work if not logon properly..
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Artemis/arte.zip unpack
copy os.nb from first folder (bepe) wwe rom to arte folder and rename os.nb to windows.nb then run UpgradeRom.bat
hard reset, soft reset done.

Now I didn't bother installing the german O2 release as my MDACIII was CID locked, so I just used ARTE package with Bepes WM6 .nb renamed and flashed the OS only, then after hard resetting, at the point of about to load EXT ROM soft reset.
This thread was also the guide although you could skip the process of extracting the .os from a ROM package as Bepe originally provided us with the raw windows.nb file.
Thanks gajet, Ive just posted the steps. Your post was deffinatly the key. Once I saw you still had your ext rom I knew we could do it.

It's on the Wiki home page under Research and Technical Stuff: section. The link takes you here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SDCardFlashing
Remember that it might take a few attempts to get the timing right and for the phone to 'catch' sight of the image on the MicroSd card.
Timing:
soft reset and then press power and ok simultaneously[/] immediately, i.e whilst screen is blank. if you let go the instant you see bootloader come up, that normally does it for me.
As per my sig, it's (OrangeUK Wm5 ROM) always the first file on any MicroSd card I buy and format.
thank you very much

diamond problem help!!!!

hello guys i'm a huge fan of all the work and help that i can get from this forum so i'm asking again for help.
After i flash my diamond with custom rom he develope a problem.
I use all the steps the mtty and everything but when i put anything in my memory storage it can't be played it can't be opened it won't do anything
If i try to play a file it says that the file is corrupted... if i try to instal something it says the instalation is unsucsessfull and soo on...
So can you help me to fix my memory storage... I flash it clear it but nothing works...
Please hepl!!!
try to change rom or hard-spl...maybe is rom related
if nothing works i think you have to format your internal memory to do this soft reset then press volume down and the central button of the d-pad and press down..
i use several roms after the problem i will try to use different hard spl
I format the memory storage several times but that won't solve the problem either...
Do you think that this comes from the spl???

what do you mean to put the original rom from htc...
or to send the diamond up to service...
I can't understand that: when i put something in the memory storage won't do anything but when i cut it into the main memory it's ok..????!!!!

Hy veli4ko here is HardSpl
To veli4ko
here is a Stok HardSpl
To veli4ko
1. Solution :
- On smartphone: press volume down and reset simultaneously to get the boot mode. Once you made that follows the instructions on the screen.
2. Solution :
- Possibly you do not succeed the first step to obtain a version of HardSPL Diamond, copy the file there. ROMUpdateUtility.exe nbh and running the phone connected to PC and a loader.
Good luck and more attention next time !
thanks
DjMaryuslive but that won't solve the problem... when i put it in boot mode i saw that i were with hardspl 1.93 and the i swich with stockSPLs_htchackerssign.zip in the ROMUpdateUtility.exe
and then i make hard reset but problem is still there... i don't know what to do... any more ideas

not exactly sure....when u tried each cab, did u completely uninstall and delete all traces of each build including the fsck files? alot of times if not, and u try to install a new one, itll stick pick up the old data and mix with the new and cause issues. The one to try thats the easiest is the AOSP. data and service works off tops without doing anything.
try this...whatever cab u got in there..uninstall it...then ...go into file explorer or whatever and delete any and all traces of the previous build. after that, if u have clear temp or clean ram, use that. then soft reset.
get the build cab of ur choice, but id recommend the AOSP for the quickest start. download it to root of storage card which is /storage , not in a folder in storage(example /storage/programs). it has to b in the root. then install. then soft reset. once it boots back up, go to the android icon. press it..then update all the new files for the build b4 ur first boot up. u should see the tab to let u update. after update complete, then press run android...and hopefully any little issues or residual files are gone and u can complete the startup or bootup of android. let us know if that didnt wrk for ya.
ok now boots, and works fine
i'm using AOSP 2.1 updated
EDIT MY INTERNET WORKS NOW, LOL,
I'm having the same exact error on my AT&T Tilt 2 with stock ROM. I downloaded the AOSP into the storage/programs folder of the SD card, installed it to the SD card, then ran the update. After the update, I got the "Failed to mount the SD Card. Cannot Continue" error. I uninstalled the program and got rid of everything ans started from scratch with the same error.
Any idea?
Okay.... I've tried this a few times with no luck. Here is what I have:
AT&T Tilt 2 with stock ROM. I started with a fresh Hard Reset this morning (due to problems with Good Mobile Messaging) and loaded the AOSP file to my micro SD card (\Storage Card\ProjectAndroid 2.1AOSP 042610.cab). I ran a level 3 CleanRAM, then double clicked on the AOSP file on the SD card using TotalCommander. The file asked where to load it to and I chose the SD card. It successfully installed and I did a Soft Reset using the red reset button behind the battery cover.
Once turned back on I go to Start and press Project Android. Once loaded up, I went to Menu and Update. It updated successfully in about 5-10 minutes and I then clicked Run Android. The screen goes black and runs a bunch of script until it gets to this:
Welcome to Vogue Linux
Running an fsck on SD card
dosfsck 3.0.1, 23 Nov 2008, FAT32, LFN
Logical sector size is zero
mount:mounting/dev/block/mmcglkopl on/sdcard failed: Invalid argument
Failed
Failed to mount the SD card. Cannot continue
/bin/shi can't access tty; job control turned off
It then freezes at this point and stays there. I've uninstalled and removed all sources of the files (that I could find) and started from scratch several times and it does the same thing each time.
Is something wrong? Am I missing something simple?
ROM Version: 1.59.502.3 (67150) WWE
Rom date: 09/25/09
Radio Version: 4.48.25.20
Protocol version: 61.39tc.25.30U
is there any other info you need?
i did use this formatter
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=287HD74A
extract, install, open, select your unit, click on option, select full erase ON
let ir run..
this promise to fix this error acording to a forum that i read
outside of XDA, it can also throw that same error if you are using
a SLOW storage card.
pls report what happened so we help other people with the same issue..
The error message is normal. Just ignore it unless the thing wont boot overnight

No joy..... it hung up on the same screen that I quoted above for over 5 hours. I soft reset and then uninstalled the software. I guess if I'm destined to have Android, then I'll just go out and buy an Android based phone.....
i guess you didnt tried the FORMATTER that i've posted
anyways
maybe you should wait for the release of HTC VISION
or wait much looooooonger a couple of years for an official android rom
for our poor htc rhodium..
good luck.

[Q] LeeDroid 3.0.8.2 Help

hi,
i have just tried to install LeeDroid 3.0.8.2 and am panicked that i've bricked my phone.
I partitioned the sdcard using Rom Manager - also downloaded and flashed the rom via rom manager.
It seemed to do its thing fine and the leedroid screen loaded up, but now it just keeps looping back on itself showing me that its installing making this funny beeping sound and then goes back to the leedroid screen for maybe 15 seconds and repeats.
Anyone know ever have this experience? can any one help?
thanks
Please make a search...
The best way to avoid bootloop is first to partition the SDcard with Gparted...
Then you need to check a few things (your hboot version among others)
good reading !!!
If it's looping at that point it is almost certainly a problem with the SD-card ext3 partition. Rom Manager is not terribly reliable with making that.
The Gparted suggestion is by far the best solution (assuming you have a PC with a card reader, rather than trying to do it with card mounted in phone)
If you *do* have a reader then try LiveCD with gparted, burn to CD and boot from that.
Make your first partition FAT32, and your ext3 partition at the end of the card. (1GB recommended). Make sure both partition are marked as "primary".
Sorry for jumping in here, but I also need help with this rom (sorry uber noob and all). Figured since the thread was so fresh may as well ask here.
Basically trying to install leedroid v3.0.8.2 (data ++) for my original htc desire.
Cant download from either of the links, they both lead to url 404s.
And i also tried downloading from both rom manager and also the minisite, these downloaded but seem to be corrupt. I cant open the zip file and trying to flash it returns a cant flash (bad) message.
Anybody know where i can get a working zip of this version?

Have you tried here and choose the ROM you want from the white scrolling list? The 3.0.8.3 data version downloads for me.
