I have been messing around trying to get TomTom 5.20 working on my Cingular 3125 and I have finally got it working, but now whenever I try to install any other .CAB files, it goes to the CAB installation screen indicating that it is trying to install TomTom.cab. Is there any where in the registry or something so I can get rid of this? It just sits there and "hourglasses (whatever it is)" forever.
TomTom works, BTW, but the machine is stuck on this cab install whenever I try to install any other .CAB. I have tried to soft reset and it doesn't help.
Any ideas?
I solved it. There was a shortcut to WCELOAD.EXE in Windows\Startup that must have been calling an install for TomTom. I moved the link and restarted the phone - problem went away.

I've recently tried a couple of WM6.1 roms on my 838pro (Pays 3.05 full and RanDomIze Final Storm v2.10") and they both work for a while, but after some time (twice in the middle of an installation, but not always) most of my shortcuts stop working, and if I soft reset the device won't boot (doesn't reach windows loading).
Is anyone aware of this happening before, and any way to fix it?
Thank you!
I upgraded to 6.1 and it worked fine, but after a few hours while installing a game it basically did what you described.
Now it won't boot into the OS, what did you do to get an OS workin again?
I figured out how to reinstall WM6.1, I tried another release and it did the same thing. It's weird it works fine until you sync it with a pc and start transfering things, both times it was after transfering from my xp desktop but my Vista Laptop seems to not cause this corruption, i'll keep testing
Have the same problem with a large number of 6.1 OSes. Found yo can sync with your computer BUT only leave it for as long as you'"re doing stuff then disconnct. this seems to stop it stuffing up my phone as the ONLY thing you can do once the OS dies is reload the OS with another flash( had an error message come up saying that a program wsnt signed with a proper cert or some such and it automatically goes back to factory reset). Since only syncing when I need to it seems to not have problems. Just means I need another power point to recharge my hermes. Cheers.
I had the same problem until I loaded CRC's 6.1 V8. I have been running it for about a week with no problems at all. Be sure to delete all devices in Activesync before you connect to use Activesync.

Yeah, that's the only one that's kept working for me so far!
i do suggest that you guys do a check for bad blocks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377389
although i have heard that a rom flash *might* be able to fix bad blocks, dont take my word on that though
with the bad blocks, if you do have it, wouldn't it not matter if you are running wm5, wm6 or wm6.1? they would all crash, mess up eventually?
I will try checking mine for bad blocks, but I didn't have any problems with wm5, upgraded to wm6.1 PAYS, had constant freezes, crashes, hard resets, etc...this was after I installed programs. If I didn't install anything, it would be ok. Although it's not like installed crazy programs, the usual google maps, today agenda, etc... maybe three or four programs.
Now downgraded to wm6, installed more things, no problems. (knock on wood)
it could be possible that you just had a bad flash with the 6.1 rom. or it could be just possible that one of your apps did not agree too well with 6.1. happened to me too, i somehow forgot that i had wm6.1 and installed an app that was not compatible with 6.1
I have had a issue that as soon as i flashed my rom, right after the calibration the screen would go white and the phone just hangs. I have narrowed it down to "O2 Plus". Both 5067 and 3.49 versions just do not work with it. I hope it helps someone else having the same problem.
This was already answered on your post on the ppcgeeks forum, but you probably just need to hard reset (soft left + soft right + reset) and then take your battery out for a minute or so; all of no2chem's roms sometimes have to have this done on install because of some non-standard optimizations he made.
After no2chems 5067 uninstall and reinstall the msi installer and running the
updater I still get the kitchen opening saying both OEM titan cameras are selected.
I never had a chance to select a single item so the download to my pc via
the update utility looks like it contains a error of some kind.
I even tried the same on another clean PC but same double camera problem.
Has anyone used no2chem 5067 wm61 lately as of 7-7-08.
thanks,
Michael
After installing the htc hotfix labelled
'fix for abnormal Nike TouchFLO screen display and keyboard output problems '
I have been having problems with my niki100
I've reflashed the rom serveral times with various versions including Mary, Toms and Gullum's (thanks)
Getting notification errors and buttons not working etc...
Does anybody know if I can remove or reverse that hotfix?
What does it do?
I assume that winmo devices have some area of memory that isn't overwritten when a new rom is installed, is there anyway to access it?
Thanks in advance.
Try to make a hard reset...
Tried a hard reset.
Didn't work.
Can't sync now either
install a original htc rom
Hi
Thanks for suggestion.
I tried installing the original UK Orange rom and it didn't seem to make any difference either.
I'm starting to think its my PC that is causing the problems. I've noticed that programs aren't shutting down in task manager even though they seem to shut down on the desktop. I also had 4 instances of volume for activesync in sound mixer!!!????
I reinstalled WMDC but that doesn't seem to have solved it either.
I have spent the past week on this problem , including reading ppcgeeks & ppckitchen threads for hooouuuurrrs. And still no working phone!
What I have: ActiveSync 4.5 on an XP desktop. I successfully RUU WM6.1 onto my Alltel PPC6800, had the upgraded radio, internal GPS worked.
The problem:
From the Bootloader screen, without ActiveSync, I flash a ROM. After RUU says it was successful the Mogul resets. No LEDs light up and the screen stays off. I Hard Reset. The Green LED comes on and stays on.
I’ve removed the battery and Hard Rest and Soft Reset with the result being that just the Green LED stays on.
Whenever I use the RUU the current ROM version on the phone is not displayed. But the RUU lets me continue.
I can always get the Bootloader (tri-color) screen, which has:
TITA100 MFG
SPL-2.40.Olipro
CPLD-9
After re-flashing the stock WM 6.1 ROM, the phone gets into a reset loop with nothing displayed on the screen and the Green LED blinking.
I’ve re-flashed 2 previous Kitchen ROMs that worked originally.. No change.
I’ve removed and then reinstalled ActiveSync. Rebooted XP. Still no connection.
I’ve removed and reinstalled PPCKitchen with successful updating. Rebooted XP. No change.
I’ve tried to flash from my fats formatted 2gb SD with renaming RUU_signed.ngh to “TITAIMG.nbh” and copying it. Got the Grey screen with progress bar. Then Hard Reset. No change.
I’ve tried every combination of Soft reset, Hard reset, battery removed combination with each ROM flash.
I’ve tried the Titan Exit Bootloader exe. This was successfully executed but did not solve the problem.
I’ve tried flashing the radio but I get a Bad Command error.
Update: In an attempt to diagnose the source of the problem by eliminating my cooked ROMs as the problem, using the SD method, I Flashed third parson's cooked Alltel ROM.
By all indicators the Flash was successful. I have Hard Rest (pushing the "R" then "space bar" when told to do so) several times. (Once I removed the battery for several minutes then Hard Reset.) But I still have the same problem of after Hard Reset the Green LED stays on and the screen appears to be off.
Since I am having the same results with my cooked ROMs I believe that my Bootloadeer and ROMs are OK. (Looking for confirmation here.)
Then is the problem with the radio? Or is it a hardware problem?
Any help is appreciated!!
Maybe try updating the radio? As far as I remember there were a few radio versions that did have internal GPS enabled but are still incompatible with the latest ROMs.
What radio version are you running now?

Sounds like you need to just flash a new radio to your phone.... I had the same problem at one time and that fixed it...
Problem solved??
Skippyd, Thanks for the suggestion!!
Interesting Update: I started to take more risks. (All flashing was done by SD method.)
I re-flashed radio 3.42.50. Although the flash was completed there was no change in results. I re-flashed both ROMs that had worked and ones that had no change. And still no change.
Then I decided to flash any ROMs made for Alltel (Titan) that I could find. (I wasn't really seeing if the ROMs had radios in them.)
I flashed nueROM_MTitan-201-201-spackr.rar which booted to the 2nd splash screen [AAAHHH!!! something different!!!] The following information also appeared on the screen:
Nuekernel 3.01
Build 109(c) 2008 No2chem
High Mem (camera disabled)
HTC
M09
B03
P=DCAAXAM 4350H
R=3.42.50
D=3.56
After resets and re-flashes of this ROM I could not get past the 2nd. Splash screen.
I next went to the link from: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=22132&highlight=boot+stop+splash (post # 3)
I flashed: Alltel_titan_20273_a2.rar . However, the result was the same as my original problem.
I skipped the .exe file that was in the list.
Then I flashed Nex_5054.8_Alltel_b3.rar and SUCCESS!!! It booted. (I did not install any of the CABs listed on the screen.) I can enter all of the menues. I don't know if GPS still works. The green LED flashes like it did when I could use the phone. (I can't use the phone now because I reactivated my old phone.)
I have not tried these other ROMs that are also listed:
Nex_5054_Alltel_b2.rar
Nex_5054_Alltel_spb'd.rar
Nex_Alltel_dcd_3.0.0.rar
Nex_Alltel_superBB_chick.rar
Before I do any more test-flashes, can anyone tell me:
#1) what additional information I should copy off my phone before I try these other ROMs?
#2) can anyone tell me the differences in the ROM that works and the ones that did not (so I know why Nex_5054.8_Alltel_b3.rar works)?
And #3) Does anyone have any suggestions before I proceed with testing other ROMs or try cooking my own again?
Thanks, in advance, for your help!
Hi,
This is my problem, I have a X7501 running Windows Mobile 6.5 Cooked by MichyPrima. The current Rom I have is this; "Athena_SPL1.2_R1_CE_B21500_MiChY"
The problem with this version is that every time I do a soft reset, all or more of the programs that I installed get deleted and I have to reinstalled them again.
So, I decided to upgrade my pda to this version
"Athena_SPL3.5_R1_CE_B21500_MiChY"
In order to this I just simple need to flash the above file in my x7501 and here is when the problem starts,
I run the "RaphaelCustomRUU" that comes with the rom, I follow all the prompts and when the instalation start (0%) the pda auto-restart, the connection get lost and the installer simple stops.
I tried to install another version "28205_1_04RVGA" but happens exactly the same, I tried to update my Radio, and the same.
It looks like something is making my Pda to restart and doesn't allow the installation to continue. I also follow the steps from 1 to 10 of this file "AP4_How_To_1.8" to try to fix any problems with my device and nothing.
Battery is 100%
antivirus is off
PDA Sync perfectly
PDA works properly except when soft reset
Does any one has any idea why the auto restart is happening???
Thanks in advance

Hi I also have a similar problem:
I was running SPL3.5 & AP4 on an Athena X7500 previously but making a hash of the new/old roms to install, i flashed AP Touch by PK.
I am now unable to get into windows mobile's Today screen as the customisation process which runs config & AP Touch.tsk keeps resetting the device. Each attempt i flash (i tried multiple ROMs, ranging from AP Touch again, AP3newSPL, and AP4.0 again) results in an error asking me to check my USB connection to the device. I suspect its because i do not have enablerapi anymore inside the device. I am unable to install enablerapi into the device since it keeps resetting! deleting files from the startup folder to try stopping the customisation / reset process also didn't quite work, neither does it allow me to delete the AP Touch.tsk file inside the device.
Can anyone help??
Well, after a lot of research and luck I have finally resolved my problem.
and here is how I did it.
As you know my device every time I try to flash it from the computer, didn't response and simple cut the connection. I tried to flash it from the SD card and nothing, so.
1) look for the rom you want to flash, in my case was "Athena_SPL3.5_R1_CE_B21500_MiChY". Note; you can go from SPL 1.2 to 3.5 but for some reason I couldn't go from 3.5 to 1.2 or earliest.
2) I put my Athena in bootloader mode, by pressing camera + Comm Manager + reset
3) the colored screen appears saying on the white area (serial). why, I'm assuming my device was waiting for a serial connection or something
4) and here is the luck, I connect my USB cable to my device and the word serial changed to USB.
5) I activated the RaphaelCustomRUU.exe with the "Athena_SPL3.5_R1_CE_B21500_MiChY" rom inside and follow the prompts
6) the installation for the first time in more than 6 months finally start and satisfactorily was completed as well.
done
I'm checking if everything is okay, but so far, everything cool,
Hope this is helpful to those who face the same problem.
cheers

Hi ,sorry noone saw your post but it would have been obvious what your problem was.
There is a way to downgrade to SPL 1.2 and it is in the stickies.
Just for reference if anyone finds this thread, you should have gone into bootloader to check your SPL and then made sure your ROM matched this.
The mismatch was the problem that caused the endless reboot.
regards lakeman
Thanks for your replay.
but I'd like to mention, that I was not trying to downgrade my SPL, in fact I was trying to Upgrade from 1.2 to 3.5. But that is not the issue.
My problem was that no matter what installer I used, after follow all prompts, the installation process freezed at 0%. Everytime I connected my PDA, everything looks alright until the installation process started and nothing always 0%.
So the solution was to put my PDA in bootload mode and only when the coloured screen appears, only at this point I connect my USB and double click the RaphaelCustomRUU.exe with the desired OS. My PDA instantly recognized the connection and did the installation.
Cheers
