I have WM5 with 30MB Persistent storage.
So what is the difference between a 'Hard' and 'Soft' reset now that my memory is Persistent?
Just wondering...
Also, how can I 'back up' and 'restore' my persistent storage memory should I screw it up in any way...
Cheers

Somebody knows what happen after the "soft" o "hard reset"?
A soft reset is just like a reboot, it clears memory but doesnt affect installed programs or stored data. A hard reset clears memory and also clears all installed programs and data, the data on sd memory card remains unaffected.
Are there anywhere than we can installed our program that when doing hard reset it cannot be cleared? I know from other post, you can installed in memory cards but it will take ur battery life compared installed in memory especilly in XDAII.
Your Pocket Pc have other 2 memory blocks:
Storage and Extended..
You can install there permanently your programs
Yes you can install to ram disc/storage, memory however any adjustments made to the main files in the xda will be lost on hard reset which will render the programs inoperative.
Hi!
As we know the Himalaya has 128MB RAM. On the other hand the HTC Universal/Exec uses 128MB ROM. Can WM2005 itself creates an equivalent ROM in the Himalaya?
My question is if I upgrade to WM2005 for my Himalaya does a hard reset wipes everything off my RAM/Big Storage and default to factory settings?
If I'll to install programs into the ROM of the Universal/HTC will a similar hard reset wipe the info from my ROM?
Thanks
himalaya use the extentedrom and storage as the persistent memory which will not be deleted on a hardreset
check out buzzdev.net for more info
universal and other devices made for 2005 only use flash for storage so it dont loose data on nobatt or hardreset
RE
Hi Rudegar,
Thanks for the info.
So, in the case of upgrading to WM2005 for the Himalaya the storage area (RAM) has been effectively enlarge to form the persistent storage, right?
Well, in both cases (Himalaya and WM5 devices) how to remove programs (not just cab files) that are installed in the persistent storage? Go into the persistent stoarge and manually remove them or is there an easier way?
Thanks again

Hi Rudegar,
I think I did not elaborate my last sentence. What I meant was after a hard reset am I suppose to go into the persistent storage area (for the WM5 upgraded Himalaya and the WM5 device) and manually remove all the installed programs?
Many thanks
yes depending on which buzzdev rom you use the extentented rom and storage will be merged into a persistent space
and you format the persistent space from inside the 2005 bootloader
every time i soft reset my music or personal folders disapaer?
If you say it disappear after a soft reset,does it mean that it comes back after a while?
Have you tried reformatting it? It might be a FAT table corruption. If you don't have backup of these directory,may be you can try using pocket mechanics professional to recover any lost chains and clusters and hope that you can get it back before formatting it.
Good luck.
I had months of trouble with my Microdrive on an X7501.
Even a format initiated from the PC still had folders disappear and/or become corrupted.
I eventually did a hard reset and all seemed well - but I've noticed the music folder I copied there is now gone (since a soft reset). And I can't recopy it from the Storage card (first permissions error then after a retry I get a 'not enough free space' message.
Sorry I haven't better news.

If you've re-flashed the ROM, hard reset, and reformatted the MD, yet the problem persist, I've say you need to send it back to the service centre for diagnosis and possible replacement/repair.
THANKS
For Ur Help It Worked Thank You
HI All
I need help....My HD2 doing same problem....i installed game in HTC HD 2....i play this game...mobile freeze and reset. then i open hd2 and uninstalled this game. But freeze problem not solve. then i hard rest hd2 and solve freeze problem...
But now hd2 show low internal storage space....before hard rest i remember my storage space more than 200 MB now is show only 80 MB.....i don't know why lost internal memory.....
HTC HD2 windows 6.5
PLZ tell me....How fix it......
Thanks...
Did you really perform a hard reset?
Sounds more like a soft reset to me.
But then again, if it was a hard reset, something with your device might be wrong.
And, what kind of ROM is on your device, stock?
Yes, I did hard reset ....and soft reset also but my internal memory is not back....
My HTC HD software Information
OS version 5.2.21892 (21892.5.0.89)
Manila version 2.5.20121412.2
ROM version 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE
Radio version 2.10.50.25
Protocol version 15.39.50.07u
Seems to be just an older TMOUS stock ROM.
If you didn´t alter anything else but installing some apps, the error you have to face is somewhat strange - lack of memory even after a hard reset.
Did you try a hard reset without your SD card inserted? Sometimes, the system puts correct and/or corrupt data into the "app data" folder. You actually can delete this very folder, it will be recreated automatically with fresh data.
My phone just recently started showing a "low on space" error. Its saying my internal storage is low. I am showing that I have 6.21 gb left on my USB storage. I cant move apps to phone because it shows as full. I cant move apps to sd card because that shows as full as well. Tried using Gemini App Manager to move them also, but I get same full error. Please help. Oh yeah, im using ICScrew rom.
I would try doing "Fix Permissions" And "Wipe Dalvik cache" from CWM
I did wipe cache and did a full install again of the newest ICScrew, but that didnt work. It is showing me 6.20 left of USB storage and on device memory it says 100mb left. How do I delete files from device memory?

"Device Memory" is where your apps are installed at. If you want to free up space, delete some apps. Seriously, that's a lot of apps.
As a side note, I didn't mean to thank your post. The damned thanks button is in a lousy location. The Quote button has been there for who knows HOW many years, and the XDA admins decided to just throw a Thanks button on the end and screw up veterans who are used to clicking the last button in the row to quote. </rant>
