Thanx ppl for reading.
P.S i really dot want to reload every program so if i cant get the installs from the default upgrade/instal is there a cab file that will give me all the thing that came with it/instaled from the shop?
ok so no one can help me. :-( thanx anyway guys..........
Look messed around does not help us much as in was that a large messed around or just a tiny one.
You want help but give us nothing to go by.
If you were on WM5 then you might have removed your ext_rom to gain more ram.
If you went back to 2003 then you might have tried to install the ext rom onto the removed size of that ext rom.
But hell how would I know what you did.
Fact is the default 02 files are in the ext rom
Fact is if you dont have them then you have not installed a extrom.
i'm just a newbie with HTC. i do know a lot about Symbian phones specially Nokia models. I just purchased a XDA II mini, and i've heard i cut put applications, tools and games with it as well.
i'm already collecting stuff for that. then, i encounter that I could also upgrade, WWE, Radio and Extended ROM.
i have no idea on that, can some1 explain me how this things works... pls. pls. pls... thanx
i have download some ROM, and Radio. i've used it following instructions listed on the site. and have seen my new XDA being updated. but i don't have an extended ROM????? how to install one??? tnx again and more power to all...
The Radio ROM is responsible for your normal GSM function (it doesn't handles WiFi). It is like the firmware of your normal (say) Nokia (non-symbian) phone. I think you need to specifically upgrade the Radio seperately (e.g. not included in ROM package). Some say that upgrading the Radio will improve things such as phone related speed and reception quality.
A ROM usually comes in a package (that is, it includes Ext-ROM). Depending on how you upgrade your ROM, you probably already upgraded your Ext-ROM as well. Probably that's why you didn't see Ext-ROM to be downloaded. However, there are user forged ExtRom that suppose to have all the goodies in it, such that, every time you perform a hard reset, you do not need to seperately install your favourite/essential software.
The Ext-ROM is the area that phone-operators put their customized stuff in. Example, both operators O2 and T-Mobile may have the same ROM for their respective HTC-Magician model, but they surely have different Ext-ROM. This Ext-ROM determines how the phone looks like what the operator wants it to be (e.g. theme and colour of O2, GSM related settings, GPRS settings).
If your phone (or the ROM you upgraded) is from the same operator (e.g. O2, T-mobile) or distribtor (e.g. Qtek, iMate), you may not see much of a difference as both Ext-ROM may actually have the same packaging.
Tell us how you upgrade your unit and we may able to tell you if you already Ext rom upgraded.
WWE is World Wrestling Entertainment which...
Seriously, WWE is a code that shows you which region the particular ROM is for. WWE is for World Wide English (I think) which is generally the default for most phone. However, if you like, you can get other region ROM to installed on your device (make sure they are compatible). You can basically guess that region they are from by guessing these code (you can find - but difficult - them on the web), e.g. Italian ones might be ITY, Spanish on might be SPN, etc.
Big thanx...
thanx thanx for the reply.. for the efort... and much mor for the time...
anywys like your meaning of WWE! hehe.. but i do understand that already as some indications of language/region settings of the ROM package.
i'm having problem with EXT-Rom because, after flashing, when i check Device information, it says about my ROM version, my RADIO version, but my EXT-ROM is blank. i downloaded the package ROM from this site. the 1.12 package for magician, have downloaded also the separate Radio package (1.13), but the ROM package doesn't seem to install the EXT-ROM.
i tried downloading EXT-ROM on separate folder of the FTP, but as i cud see it is not like the ROM files and Radio Files that comes in package. the 2 EXT-ROM i downloaded was a chunk of CAB files and ZIP/RAR files... i was wondering if i should copy all of them to my XDA and manually install..
is there a built in package EXT-ROM??? or is there a program that automatically install them???
again thanxs so much... hopefully when i fully understand the XDA world i could contribute and share my stuff... thanx to the group! =)
Your unit runs on W2003 while mine runs on WM5. So, I can't really give details on your missing ExtRom.
However, yes, ExtRom usually comes with a bunch of CAB files and come XML or config files. What you need to do is, try to search for unlocking Ext rom in this forum or the wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/ to check on how to unlock the ext rom.
As for magician, there is a thing called Big Storage, which seems to handle ExtRom differently. I don't have the details, someone with a Magician big storage may able to help you on this. Anyway, check to see if your ROM is a big storage enabled version. If it is, it should be very obvious (stated on the page/rom somewhere) as this big storage thing is a hit in Magician. You may have to treat the one with/without big storage enabled one differently.
Anyway, advise is, look for the unlock ext-rom for Magician. Follow the instructions carefully (though ext rom fiddling is usually non fatal), and see if can have it unlocked. You should then have a seperate 'partition' or folder that you can write on normally. Just copy everything into the 'partition' and you had your very own ext-rom. That's why extrom looks different than the ROM itself.
thanx thanx again..
yup i did download one of the big storage rom in the xda-developers ftp site with ver 1.12
i did flash that to my phone, and always get Ext-Rom error to my device... ROM and Radio is ok, but EXt ROM is a failure.. anyways, following your advice i downloade a separate Ext-ROM files and hit the autoconfig, and from there everything was ok.... =)
you did mention that your device runs WM2005, and mine 2003... is it possible to upgrade that as well??? is there a tool to do that??? and is that different from the ROM files to upgrade the device???
---(having problems) for the last 2 days, i can't access the FTP folder of xda-developers... "page can't be displayed", r we experiencing problem with the site??? can u pls post a link on how to access it directly??? same with wiki.xda-developers...
BIG Thanx! =)
Big storage version may not have ExtRom, probably that's why you are having problems with it. Anyway, the method you've done is just simply installing the Ext Rom stuff into your device. Upon the next hard reset, you have to reinstall the ExtRom stuff again manually (as oppose to if you have Ext Rom, the stuff will be install automatically upon hardreset). But I guess since you don't hardreset it everyday, it is the same.
No. Repeat. NO. you can't upgrade your device to WM5. It has been well proven that Magician cannot be upgrade to WM5. And do not try to install ROM from other devices (e.g. Charmer) which looks very similiar to Magician. They are different in hardware and hence the ROMs are not compatible. And you may kill your device. So, repeat again, do not attempt to upgrade your Magician to WM5. You can always stay here and read new threads. WM5 in Magician is a superb news that if there is a possibility, it will be a hit in this forum.
BTW, on the bright side, you can see that Magician is a better device than Charmer although the latter runs WM5. Magician is superb in almost all the tasks given. Take a look at this thread to see the advantages of Magician vs Charmer. So, able to run W2003 is not such a bad thing at all. Probably WM5 will slow the Magician down.

Hi,
I just tried few different aku 2.3 roms from pdamobiz guys for my prophet G3, mainly for the speed tweak, (paging pool size changed to 16 or 32 mb) And have to say it that it is impressive and awesome rom (the clean one without all the additional junk they put in their roms)
This roms also allows to get much brighter settings for the screen. Which is I am not sure about it, either it is changes in aku 2.3 or it is pdamobiz guys tweak. Would you guys happen to know about it? Or how it can be done in aku 2.0? By the way, do you know where did official aku 2.3 came from? Is it orange? I’ve been looking for it all over the places.
Any way, the problem is with this roms, none of the available ext rom unlock programs (including Buzzlightyears) work for the ExtRom unlock in this aku 2.3! The program shows success. But when trying to format, the message pops up that storage may be locked. Now, I’m not sure if it is incompatibility with aku 2.3 roms or pdamobiz roms. May be they did something else to this roms. By the way, they did include Buzzlightyears ext rom unlock tool with their rom update package. So it must work somehow. May be I am doing something wrong? I’ve done this successfully a thousand times on 2.0 auk’s but no success with this one.
I was wondering if some body could look into this and help. There are a lot of people looking to use this roms, but with such a limitation, it is an issue. It’s such a waist of memory, specially when 4 to 16 mb os memory gets wasted on bigger paging pool size.
I would appreciate your help tremendously!
Best regards,
Since Mamaich has been able to make our universals capable of upgrading the ram memory to 128MB, is there any chance for upgrading the Flash ROM as well (to 256MB or more)?
Would really like to hear whether anyone is trying on this?
Cheers.

There is no way!
The MDA has no place to add 4 Memory-Devices!
The other way is to install 1GBit Memory-Chips. But this does not exist (which are compatible to the pinning and funktion of the original chips)!
So the limit is 128MByte.
The PXA270 can address up to 1GByte. But the MDA can not use it.

Hello Friends. Hope everyone is fine here. I wanted to ask that anyone knows that how can I change the internal memory, which is, by default, very less of the HTC P3300. Please tell me, please.
I hope anyone can answer this question.
Thanks & Best Regards,

Hey. No Reply. Anyone. Please!!!
Chage ROM with a Cooked ROM that use few memory amount of RAM/ROM.
RAM/ROM on device isn't exchangeable without very invasive methodes on mainboard.
Artemis is an old device, cheap but old: if you want more RAM/ROM select a newer device ^^
PDA isn't a PC (only ROM is modificable with MicroSD Card)
