Hi friends.. I downloaded the Tom Commmanger8 from the forums but have problems installing the cab file. When I install the cab file, it fails saying -
"Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions. "
I am running the installation in normal working mode.. when the phone is started up.
Is there a separate admin mode in which I can install the cab file ??
Please help. My comm manager right now shows just one button.
Thanks.
maybe your existing comm manager is running when you try to install the new one? you can see running programs in settings/system/memory/running programs.
or you can soft reset your device and then try to install before you do anything else.
Killing Comm manager worked. It installed fine without any problems or complaints.. I now have the comm manager working fine.
But I wonder how the error it showed me and the actual problem are related..
when a program is running it "locks" some files. when you try to install a new version you try to overwrite those locked files. and you dont have the permission for this (that's why they are locked). you end the running program, and the lock is gone and you can delete/overwrite/change those files.
of course it would be possible to make a better error message like "this file is used by a running process (process_name). please end this process before trying again". but well, it's never done.
the message you got was actually very true and it allowed me to find the reason with my first guess
my solution
I had the same problem, when I tred to install it to device. But when I installe dot StorageCard, it was succesfull withou any problem. And it works,so...
The important point is here to install "8 Comm man" directly after sw-reset!!!
Then the installation works!! I tested it several times.
Hi.
I'm trying to flash the new Gen Y D2 R5 WM 6.1 ROM... I've completed the MTTY method and now I have the device in bootloader and plugged into the USB and it's recoginising the USB on bootloader but when I try to run the RUU to flash the actual ROM it says connection error.
I've tried allowing connection and not allowing connection on Active Sync but it's still not working. The furthest it's got it going to the percentage screen and sticking at 0% and then appearing saying connection error.
Please can you help your urgently... any help will be highly appreciated and will donate via PayPal as I need this sorting like ASAP.
Mark.
Just to be sure, did you run HardSPL?
i assume you had hardspl as you can run mtty.
please refer to this as both of your problem looks similar.

Internal Storage Flashing
Sometimes flashing via internally corrects this.
COOKING ROMs & Radios from phone =-
1. open from your PC the rar or zip archive and extract only the BIG .nbh file
2. rename as DIAMIMG.NBH
3. copy the renamed file into the root dir of your "Storage Card" or "Internal Storage" (the one of 4Gb... NOT to the internal phone memory!)
4. soft reset your device and within 3 seconds push together the Vol_Down + Back button (the one on the right above the hangup button) and keep pressed until the boot loader appears (the one with the color stripes)
5. soon as you see the bootloader stop to press those poor buttons
6. a very simple gray menu will appear asking you what to do, simple press the power button to perform the ROM/Radio upgrade
7. while the upgrade runs be patient and don't press again the power button, reset the device or play with it until it finishes, when finished a message "UPDATE SUCCESS" will appear, now you can safely reset your device
8. who prefer can perform a hard reset after the fresh cook (soon after reset simply press Vol_Down + Circle button, then when you see another simple gray menu choose Vol_Up to confirm format), even if this has no-sense because internal memory is pre-formatted during flash, but... there is always a but... for some unknown "scientific" reason sometimes an hard-reset can save time & headache
It's all good now just needed a hard reset. I think I've learned a lesson when it comes to flashing a new ROM lol. Love the new ROM and this version of TF3D.
good to hear it worked out..have fun with your 'new' device
Cheers bud.
Any ideas why the weather feature isn't working for me. It cant find my location and even if I add my location it can't update the weather info for my location?
how do you connect to internet? 3G? Wifi?
Through 3G most of the time and sometimes I get an EDGE signal. I just got an error message saying "There was a connection error while attempting to download weather data"
Any ideas how I can solve this.

wifi: enable in comm, popup to connect
3g: no idea soz
So what your saying is I have to connect via WiFi to allow me to download the weather updates.
How am I meant to downlaod the weather data on the go when I am not at home.
EDIT: It seems to be working fine just needed to change the time and location to my current one in menu.

Glad it's all okay now
Cheers for your help mate.
hi, this is my first post....
i have spent the last few days searching this site with no luck, so here goes...
i have a motorola defy android 2.1(stock rom)
it was running great (rooted and overclocked at 1200) until i downloaded a freezing program (freezes orig phone apps, telstra ect)
anyhow i turned off my phone and then when i turned it back on i had no home screen??? (so couldnt access my apps,settings,msgs,calls, nothing)
i could slide the unlock across but after that it was just black with the status bar at the top....
i have done a hard reset (hold volume down and turn on, then wipe data/factory reset)
now my stupid motoblur acc will not let me log in, or create a new account (i have been successful loging into the motoblur website, just not on my phone), it loads almost to the end of the progress bar, then just sits there and does nothing at all, i even left it over night!!!
i have installed these files, in the hope of flashing a new rom (2.3 or 2.3 would be sweet)
Motodrivers131
RSD Lite 4.9
i installed rsd first, and could see my phone (in download mode) but every time i tried to flash a .sbf file i got the message "Failed flashing process. Unable to retrieve initialization values from INI file. (0x7029); phone connected" so i installed Motodrivers131, and now my phone wont even show up in rsd???
im in melbourne, victoria, australia 3133...
im going insane here, any help would be very appreciated...

Uninstall everything, reboot the pc, install Motorola Drivers, install rsd, remove the battery, press and hold VOL UP and put the battery again. Open RSD and try to see your phone now. If it fails, try to press the power button (continue holding VOL UP).
If everything fails, maybe you are out of battery, and the only thing to do is mcgyver trick (see wiki).
ok, i have managed to get into google while in the motoblur sign in thingy, and rooted my phone and used clockwork to flash an update from my sd card
2 problems tho, first one is that im in australia and ive flashed t-mobile 2.2 (usa)
and the second is that everytime i put an sd card into the phone it begins to mount the sd card, then instantly says "sd card is safe to remove" i have tried formatting it on the phone but it says to remove it before i get a chance..... (i have tried 2 diff cards) and have wiped them on my computer!
this is rather annoying as i cant flash it with blueginger like i wanted to, or use a fair few apps or the camera without the sd card present????
any thoughts?
Maybe the drivers are corrupted?
Are you using a T-Mo US Defy unit or an unbranded one?
nah my defy is a telstra branded one from australia......
there has to be a way around this problem...
So, figured I'd attempt to root the thing today via the AAHK on my locked DHD. According to the effen manual, I won't need to gold card it beforehand either.
I went through the process, and I was told that the ROM that I had installed (2.5.3? Sense 3.0) had to be downgraded, so I went ahead with it. After downgrading, I was brought to an unresponsive bootloader. Being patient enough, I let it sit while I watched a movie, yet nothing happened after. I took out the battery and restarted it, and all I got was the Hutchinson 3G (my carrier) logo and it just stops there.
When I try booting in recovery mode to get to the bootloader, it does so, but it hangs.
After enough tinkering, I noticed the bootloader was only responsive once I rebooted without the memory card inserted. The phone itself is still inaccessible as it just stops at the 3G logo.
So far, I've tried to restore it through an RUU, but since it's still (I assume) carrier locked, I have to find the ROM that shipped with it. Unfortunately, I can't find a ROM that caters to Hutchinson 3G ROI (Ireland), so right now I'm downloading a UK version of it to see if it works. Apart from that, any recommendations on what I could do next?
Thanks :3
people are gonna need a little more info eg. what does it say on the boot screen s-off etc
what rom your trying to flash, formatted sd-card or not, possibly a corrupted download
AAHK does the business well, but can baulk at the slightest thing.
fairly new to some of this myself, but learning, my DHD took 4 attempts to finally do now on JT R4
Oh, mmkay:

-----------------------------
Anything else I should include up there?
As for the ROM, I wasn't trying to flash anything bar the one that was downloaded through the AAHK client itself during the downgrade process.
After more tinkering, I've decided to leave it till today afternoon. Though I've made a few observations; so far
- The bootloader works fine when I turn it on WITHOUT the memory card
- The phone gets detected under the name "Android 1.0" when plugged in via USB both in hboot and fastboot. The fact that it gets detected I'll assume is a good thing
- Which leads to the second bit; it can be restored, since I've tried an Asian DHD ROM. It didn't complete because I was apparently supposed to find the appropriate ROM for it, which I assume is the H3G ROI version of it
- Aaand, the ROM still won't load up, and gets stuck at the H3G boot logo.
- According to the effen manual, it could be that my SD card was corrupt, so now my intention is just to merely restore it until I can actually afford to attain another memory card, which will be in a good few weeks and I don't wanna be smartphone-less for that period of time. But the only problem is; how?
if memory serves there isnt a rom in AAHK. the zip you intend using should copied be on your sdcard and initiated via recovery - vol down and on button. you should also be "s" off - did it offer to downgrade first [if needed]
from the manual
Insert the SDCard into the phone
Boot the phone
Turn on USB Debugging (Yes, plug it IN - use original cable plugged directly into the system board.)
IMPORTANT: Turn phone to charge-only mode. The phone stays in charge-only mode throughout this entire process. To make sure of this, check the default (menu > settings > connect to PC > charge only)
Win7/Vista: Right click on hack-ace.cmd and start as administrator (This will start the tool and bring you to the main menu)
option - 1
Install Clockworkmod
Clockworkmod version 5.0.2.7 -- yes
How to flash a custom ROM with ClockworkMod Recovery
Place the zipfile to be flashed on the sdcard. Do NOT unzip it.
Froyo disable Fast Boot: Menu > Settings > Applications > uncheck fast boot
Gingerbread disable Fast Boot: Menu > Settings > Power Options > uncheck fast boot
Turn phone off, no usb connected
Hold down vol- button, then press power to start, keep holding the vol- down button until Hboot menu shows up
Use the vol- down button to scroll down to recovery after some file checks are done (they will flash by quickly)
Press power to start recovery
Use vol down button to navigate, and the capacitive search button (bottom row of buttons, far right) to select
NOT VERY OPTIONAL/STRONGLY RECOMMENDED: If recommended by rom author or if flashing over another rom type (ex: cyanogenmod over anything else), wipe data/factory reset in Clockworkmod Recovery
Install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard > select zipfile > Yes - (name of zipfile)
Repeat choose zip from sdcard for any add ons (gapps, themes, kernels, etc)
Press back button when flashing is complete until "reboot system now" is at the top of the screen.
Press power to reboot the system.
If desired, return the fast boot setting to ON in settings. (See above)
once yu crack it you'll see where you were going wrong
radio flashing is the easiest way to brick if you dont know exactly what your doing 99.9% of other stuff is recoverable
restoration is a more complicated path than rooting for noobs
I'm aware that there's no ROM included with the AAHK, I'm referring to the one that was downloaded THROUGH the AAHK when it said I'm gonna have to downgrade it beforehand.
And with reference to hboot, that's where another problem lies; my memory card is the one causing hboot to freeze. Hence, removing it prior to booting is the only way to get to it.
can you rerun AAHK and make a goldcard during setup and go that route -- wont help i know but being as its still "s"on you can return under warranty aslong as you dont send sim and sd-card tell them it wont go past h-boot.
if you have a card reader then format the card to make sure its clean, the drag and drop the required files on it - i have a lappy solely for this job with AV etc permanently turned off
Well, I'll rerun AAHK when I can find the SD card adapter, but since I've only recently moved house, it's gonna be near impossible until I get time off to unpack, which, till then, I'm still gonna need a functioning phone, so right now, I'm just looking for ways to return it to stock :3
i cant assist any further then as i've not yet RUU'd any devices as of yet.
hope you get it sorted
Thanks for trying anyways :3
I've been searching for an Irish RUU. Currently trying a UK version of it hoping it MIGHT just work. Anyone have more ideas?
Edit: Ok it didn't. Posted on the Three Ireland support boards trying to see if I can get an RUU
I messed up my nova 2 i think. However I got TWRP from cofface, which is working fine. However I am not able to get my phone back working.
I tried this thread with the image supplied there. But no luck. Maybe I am doing it wrong.
I tried to update with sd card update as stated here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nova-2/help/help-restore-stock-recovery-t3741034
But phone boots in Huawei eRecovery and when I select "Download latest version and recovery", connect to Wifi, the process fails
"Getting package info from server" -> "Getting package info failed".
Any help on how to get my phone back to life / install stock rom / install alt os is very much appreciated. I am not that experienced yet to track errors in my process. :cyclops:
