Hey guys, I just sold my wizard and bought a 8525. It seems that on my MDA there was this thing called an Extended Rom that I really never found much out about and left it alone and upgraded to Windows Mobile 6 without the Extended Rom. What I am wondering is if my new 8525 will also have this extended rom, and will it do me any good? It will be from ATT but I am using it on a Tmobile network, so I don't need any of that ATT stuff, I also plan on flashing it with a WM6 rom after SIM and CID unlocking through the program available here. Any suggestions or help?
Hi johnny13oi - welcome to the exciting world of Hermes.
I don't know much about Wizard, but extrom on Hermes is just some more storage space. You can unlock it and use it as a place to install (some) programs, store information etc. You unlock it with a number of utilities (I use Schaps Advanced Config v1.1 - which you can download from the forums).
Some of the exceptional ROM cooks on this forum have managed to include the extrom into the overall device storage so it doesn't appear as anything separate and just appears to be part of your main storage.
No doubt some of the more technical folk who frequent this place will give you some more detailed information.
There's a heap of information on everything to do with Hermes in these forums so have a good read through the various topics and posts and find out what amazing things you can do with these little devices.
Good luck!
Oh wow thanks for the whole write up. I think on the Wizard, or Tmobile MDA atleast, the extrom was locked and any sort of flashing that touched that part caused the phone to become bricked?
Johnny,
Welcome to XDA. I would suggest you spend some time reading the wiki and stickies on here to get a general heads-up of what's what on the Hermes.
CR1960 is partially right; the extended rom can be unhidden and unlocked to give you some more storage space; however care is needed here.
On the standard roms (eg WM5) the extended rom is where a lot of system cab files are kept. Also, if I recall correctly, you can't write to the extended rom if the file is not properly signed. if I recall correctly also there is a utility to get round this.
On cooked WM6 roms the extended rom is used for a variety of things. Again, if I recall correctly,Schaps, for example, who is a well known rom cooker on here, keeps his autoconfig utility and other configurable items in here on some of his roms.
Spend some time reading and listening and you will soon get the gist of it all.
Good luck.
WB
If I were to flash roms to the hermes, would I have to do anything with the extended rom at all? Or will it do it all on its own.

It is included in the roms. Schaps, Vp3g, and all the other hardcore rom cookers make it so that you have a very streamlined rom (all the extra crap out of the ext rom) with lots of storage.
I would not recommend messing with the ext rom unless you know what you are doing. Hell, I've only begun to tinker with it and if I do flash it to my phone I would be sweating bullets the whole time! On the other hand I have no problem flashing trusted rom builds or tearing a windows.nb apart!
I think if you flashed any of the cooked roms around here you would not even have to worry about the ext rom. You'll have lots of storage space and all the good stuff you need!

Powermanagement, there is a resetting to fix this. I don't recall but you can use "search", it was posted"(again) only a few days ago.
if you mean by this
HKLM/Drivers/SDCARD/ClientDrivers/Class/SDMemory_Class/DisablePowerManagement change this value to 0. And try then.
Ref: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294573&highlight=sd+power+management
Than it is already "0"
No Answer?

Try this tweak as there is a power management option inside. ( thanks to XDA developers and Modaco)
( but did you make a hard reset to you device after flash? )
You should feel lucky that if someone may willing to offer help for nil return from you.
BUT... I need your " Thanks " to me if you feel this tool helps you.
Thanks to:
rondol1 (For the Help)
dioxda2 (For the Help and providing the Kaiser Tweak)
korand (For His ROM, i found it one of the fastest ROM)
Should I Disable the power Management or Enable it. btw what is the meaning of Hard reset (if Putting the Battery out while running than Yes)
& Sorry dioxda2, i thought discussion is still on the way and i thought i will say thanks in the end.

Hard reset NOT= remove the battery.....................
To clarify hard reset: it is a technique that wipes out all extra info, format your memory and start from a clean ROM again. This way you get rid of all corrupt files etc. Downside is you have to do all settings etc. again.
Removing battery is similar to a soft reset.
If you want to make a hard reset, in your case the easy way is to go to
Settings>System>Clear Storage then, type 1,2,3,4 and tap "Yes".

My problem still not solved about memory card. I just wanna ask, whether it could be the problem of the Hardware. Actually my jamin is working good after installing W6.1 Korand 3.1, so thats why i don't wanna reinstall any new ROM.
I haven't experienced this problem with Korand 3.1, so it might be a hardware problem, although I would try changing the reg file and soft reseting again...
Yes, I have used the search trying to answer this question. Before I upgraded to DCD 2.2.6 ROM, I was able to hide/unhide the ExtROM in the EXT_FLASHDRV registry entry. Now, after installing 2.2.6, the EXT_FLASHDRV key is not present. I have tried adding it with no luck. So is it possible to unhide the ExtROM after installing 2.2.6 or do I need to go back to the stock ROM, unhide, then reinstall 2.2.6?
I do not think rolling back to the stock rom, unhiding and then flashing Dcd's 2.2.6 rom again will keep the extrom unhidden. The rom currently flashed will install in it's originally fabricated state.
Unfortunately with this in mind, I do not have a answer for unlocking Dcd's rom if you have already tried with no success the registry edit. Maybe Dcd will release a version that implements the same extrom unlocker like no2chem's nueExtRom which is available on build 5047...

physically, the partition is still there but the driver is not loaded and the device will not see the extrom at all. what do you need it for?
i don't know if it is in there, and some people will probable think i'm crazy (which isn't too far from the truth), but i was wanting to get the sprint yellow today color scheme. just got used to it and personally like it better than the ones availabe.
install htcustom 1.8...go to the last tab on the program and u should see unhide ext rom or something similar...select that and click save...u might get error...just quit...soft reset using a program not the hole on bottom...and u should see ext rom
With advanced configuration, I believe you can both unhide the ext rom, and unlock it, allowing you to clear the contents.
Good Morning everybody,
Yesterday i installed the darkstone android Froyo on my HTC HD2, it worked pretty fine.
I reboot the phone to finish the installation and everything was normal. I download apps on the market ... all's good.
But i realize taht i've got no ringstone, i plug the phone on the computer and put the "media file" in the SD card.
I reboot the mobile and try to launch CLRCAD and HARET but i got the followinf message "The file XXX cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found"
I tried :
to format my SD,
to put a new install of android,
to reboot my phone,
to read different thread about this problem,
to test different program like Security configuration manager ...
I think that the problem doesn't come from Android build (it worked 2 times before) but win mobile ?
Here's my conf :
2.08 HDSPL
radio 2.12.50.02_2
darkstone froyo 2.1
rom 1.66 483 0 (76641) FRE (Bouygues telecom)
I don't understand what i did it wrong, it pretty worked and after 2 reboots i can't launch android.
Please can someone help me ?
Thanks in advance for your reply
Mike
Same issue
Hi,
I'm having this same issue. I hope someone can help. It doesn't seem to be an issue with the SD card. Did somehow the registry got corrupted? Please help.
Registry restore did not fix issue

To test my theory that it was a registry issue, I restored the registry that I backed up before installing Android. It DID NOT fix the issue.
What does that mean? It seems that everything that comes with the WM ROM works fine. It only effects the applications that were installed and not OEM.

I've now deleted my Android folder and the .folder and will see if that helps. I don't believe it will because I've removed the SD card and the programs I installed on the ROM still did not work. I'm hoping I don't need to do a hard reset. That would be a pain.
That only thing I did before having this issue was that I installed several games from the Android market place; final fantasy 6, angry birds, and a couple of others.
Had the exact same problem running FroyoStone Sense - V3.1. Couldn't even install SDKcerts. Tried everything & the only solution was a hard reset.

Your storage memory is fine.......
Thats the good news.
The bad news is that you have a problem with the program memory.
Its because of the 3.14 ROM.
Do you have HSPL installed as well as that 3.14 ROM?
Im not sure about the ins and outs of the problem but if you search the forums you will find plenty of threads discussing low amounts of program memory and the 3.14 ROM.
Sorry I cant be of any more help but I dont use that ROM so Ive never really looked into the problem.
Edit; Try this thread for a solution

Thanks a lot for replying .....!!! similar related to this i had posted on the HTC HD2 Anroid Q&A thread, please look into that.

Yes i am having HSPL installed as welll as 3.14 ROM, and one more important thing : please check this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950165
when i flashed with "Motoman234_MyTouch4G_V3.1_DAF" i can succesfull have the full tour of the ROM, but after that i flashed with WP7 used for one month then again i went directly to MAGLDR and tried to flash "Motoman234_MyTouch4G_V3.1_DAF" & "DL.DesireZ.v3.4.final.nand". From here it am seeing message storage memory almost full.
So is there any uninstall procedure for WP7, i guess directly trying to flash caused these issue. Please suggest
I cant really comment on that, sorry.
I dont use MAGLDR/WP7 so I dont wanna give you any advice in case its wrong...
The answer is out there though, try using google to search instead of the site search function, just add "xda" to the end of your google search, might yield better results.

As from my experience, there is no way to uninstall WP7 but to flash your device with the stock/custom rom. For safety, use micro sd method (which I am sure you know it, right? )

You can go to HTC Website. There, you select country "South East Asia"
Then, go to the download section. If your Serial Number is accepted, it means the rom is suitable for your device.
Goodluck

Stock ROM version 3.14 only has 448MB. No need to worry
The stock 3.14 ROM only allows access to 448MB of the total system RAM. Your storage memory is 200MB because you haven't reformatted your SD card after installing WP7. When you install WP7 thru MAGDLR your SD card is partitioned with 200MB available to Windows, you need to completely format your SD card and then it should read correctly. Please use the search function, these questions have been asked many times.
