this is the .cab that Ace Hellas gave to us before 10 minutes from HTC to solve the sd corruption
i do not have the problem but i hope to help all with this...
And I run and install all vague .cabs on my device!!
What is this supposed to be and where did you get it. Are you implying this is the fabled HTC fix, yet for some reason HTC have chosen not to release it themselves, but you have leaked it??????
Having just gone thru the SD card failure routine (followed by neccessary total rebuild!!), I'm keen to try anything to fix this "fault" on my O2 Orbit.....However, I'd love to know what this does before implementing the "solution".....
....I think what I'm trying to say is: if this is the solution then what was the definative problem? and what does this solution do?
Hope you can help and I really hope this fixes it...many thanks!
this file is a patch as i said is in the official web page of htc in Greece and it is on the site since 30 minutes
more info i will tell when i have something new
here it is but you must put first the imei of the ppc to have access

Thanks mastelos,
This file is only on Greece Qtek/HTC forum but there is no information about it on P3300 updates page. Maybe you could find out why? Is this an unofficial or made by Greek programmers patch - not send to HTC headquarter yet?
Cheers,
ace hellas doesnt put unofficial updates!its from HTC...they didnt say how it works..i just install it at my P3300,i hope it works!
Ok has anyone tried this yet??
Downloaded but not installing until I've seen some release details from HTC. I also am not sure if I should remove SDsentry before I install it....

I too have downloaded it but like you, I don't want to run it until either (1) HTC release some details or (2) somebody who has been brave enough to try it confirms that it doesn't do anything malicious.
I can't think of any reason why you would need to remove SDsentry first, though. All this does is put a file called sdsentry.txt in various important directories and then warns as soon as it has any problems reading any of these files (which suggests that the microSD card is corrupted).
guys i have it install for 3 hours now..
its nothing malicious..
for the corrupt problem until now its ok but its very soon to say that is really solved!
Ace Hellas is the official HTC provider in greece,i dont know why HTC didnt put at their site the patch yet but its real...
Yeh, I just loaded it up. Normally most cab files I install I get some message about unknown publishers etc. Not with this, It looks legitimate to me. I think htc watch this space so we can do an evaluation for them.
One more thing that has really been bugging my orbit has been the soft reset loop, after installing this cab my orbit went through only one cycle, maybe coincidence but that is the first time in months that that has happened.
I just installed it on a german p3300 - seems to work fine after install - i will see if there is any sd corrupption in the next weeks
Update:
Got bit late last night, But this morning orbit is 100% ok, again almost every morning I normally have a slight corruption in program files. Today all is good.
Not sure but I also think that maybe the thing is even reading the card a bit faster than it was.
Just a thought obvious to everyone, but Artemis was a Greek goddess, HTC must like Greece for some reason.

maybe this is the answer.....
well isend yesterday an e-mail to htc Greece to explain me if this an official or custom i'm waiting for answer
from my experience i believe this is an official patch because htc Greece never
gave to us a non official rom or anything one year now i use their products
i do not install the file because i do not have the corruption problem and i have 3300 from 27/9/2006 us you can see on my previews posts
i believe that they (htc Greece) recieve the file on friday afternoon and put it immediately on their site and from monday all the htc sites will have the patch
*sorry for bad english
Maybe not the UK, bank holiday monday.
I installed the patch last night. Now, almost 24 hours later, and after using my Orbit a lot, I have not had a single warning from SDsentry!
Installing the patch required a reboot. It shows up in the "Remove Programs" menu if you decide you want to get rid of it. So far, I can't see any reason why you would want to remove it.
Looks like Well Done, HTC!
Well after months of never having card corruption, it hit me last night, and as good to form, my backup on the PC was out of date. Thankfully the damage wasn't too bad.
So I've installed this patch, which goes on smoothly, as said above, it is signed so you don't have to agree to install it, and it is listed in remove programs as "HTC Patch DrvUpdate".
Theres no instant way of testing it I guess, as I had to wait months for my first corruption anyway.
Installed on 2 Orbits - no ill effects, I got "the bug" about once a week previously, will post back here if it happens again, fingers crossed...
Installed the Patch wich consists of the following file :
\windows\omap850_sdhc.dll
so that the original Rom files being superseded ....
Will see .....
After updating the phone, the update utility on desktop said "congratulations. Your phone has been successfully updated." The phone restarted then. But it can't boot into the main menu. After the Sprint logo, it dies there.
Help!!!
have you tried performing the update again?
Yes. I have updated the phone several times.
I couldn't update the ROM directly. There is not USB connection. I had to press camera + power + reset to initiate the connection and then start the flashing. But still there is no luck.
I called the HTC support just now. A guy told me that the update isn't official and asked me to contact Sprint for the original ROM to flash it back.
To be honest, I don't quite believe him. I think he just gave me the run around.

its because its not "official" until the 21st... didnt you see they took the download page for the mogul and touch down? that was just testing and preparing and someone caught it and posted it.. thats a lot of theories anyways..
That's correct, the ROM updater won't work until 7/21. But you can start to run it at 12:01am on 7/21, if you're up that late on Sunday night... Make sure you keep the file in a cool, dry place until you use it...
(just kidding... the ROM updater works perfectly fine. However there are reports that it works best with XP... problems with both Vista and Win2K (not a joke))...
Can you extract the contents and then run the nbh off a memory card?
I was on my way trying to root my incredible and had downloaded SDK and HTC Sync in the process. Well after trying for hours endlessly to root, I started messing around with SDK and when it initially loads it's set on the 'installed packages' tab and there is a button that allows you to refresh and update all. Well I hit one of those two buttons (I forget which) anyway it gave me a list of packages to install and one of them said 'SDK Platform Android 2.2, API 8, Revision 1'
I'm really new and pretty clueless to Android, but I am already looking forward to the froyo upgrade. I was wondering.. is this it?
I was curious to see what would happen if I clicked 'install' so I did. It now says 'Installing Archives' and its going verrrry slow.
Is this just installing some type of archives onto a folder on my HD?
I don't get it...
I'm lost over here
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Nevermind I think I answered my own questions
no, that is for developers making apps for Froyo.
I think its a pretty safe bet that Android devs will achieve full root and have a custom 2.2 before VZW gets around to pushing it out.

Hello,
I've just started using this phone as my old one died on me and someone gave me this one secondhand.
It seems to have an update available but I can't get it!
If I'm on mobile data only it keeps telling me I have to use Wifi to download it which is annoying as I have unlimited data but there you go.
I've tried on 3 different peoples Wifi and every time it will get to somewhere between 5% and 30% and then error with a message that it can't update and a code of 801881d0.
Very frustrating!
I don't suppose there's any way round this ? If only I oculd download it on my PC and apply it or something but I've read that's not possible.....
Any ideas ?
Thanks,
Dan
Hi, how much storage space do you have on your phone?
Well after 5 days of it failing to download on any WIFI connection I tried, suddenly the other night it said it had downloaded it. Hooray!
So I told it to install it, to which it told me I hadn't got enough space so I removed eveything I'd installed..... still not enough so I ended up uninstalling everything that it would let me on the phone till I was down to the bare minimum of apps and finally it decided to work.
After the update it decided it fancied going into a boot loop just to finish off the joy. After 20 minutes of fiddling with power and volume down combinations I eventually managed to get it to boot up and now, after another 2 updates, it finally says "Your software is up to date"
Phew!!!!
That was a lot more painful than it needed to be but we got there in the end!
Glad you got it fixed.
I believe the GDR3 update (which I think you were doing) is something like 800mb or so.
So basically you need to uninstall most of your apps to download and install it (I had to).
So WP8.1 should be fun to install! (Assuming it is released for the HTC 8S)
I am trying to root my TMO m8 and downloaded the all in one toolkit. However, each time I go to run the first step I keep getting redirected to Adfly page that says it is loading but never does. Is that part for the course? That u can't just download anything without having to add some tool bar or games or what have you.? Since I don't know that much as it is. that each time I want to run a program I don't want to have the choice to accept a change in my computer. So if anyone could help me understand what's my problems are I would be grateful. My computer is a HP running Windows 8 64 bit. I have chrome. Since starting this process I've had to install 7zip a download manager that of course came with extras. And still have got nowhere. Still loss...

I unlocked and rooted S-OFF three HTC One (M8) T-Mobile Variants, using this guy's videos. He makes it seemlessly easy. Try him.:good:
