[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
Hmmm, well, thanks, much appreciated. Seems as when I rebooted my phone the update finally came in haha. Even though I had already followed through with yours I proceeded forward with the update none the less and allowed it to install. Not sure if it overlapped what you gave me or if the system picked up yours to begin with. Either way, all seems well so thanks.

this might be a strange thing to ask. but as much as i love the s4 mini ive been offered a htc one mini as a straight swap. and while i know they have there slight differences am i likely to regret changing. only plus i can see it has over the s4 mini is its design build quality and a sharper screen. other than that i think the s4 mini is better in most places. what do other people think ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mortitheon:
Don't do it. You will regret it with your life. That person offered to trade it cause he likes the S4 Mini more that the HTC and he wants to trade it with you. YOU WILL REGRET IT! DON'T TRADE.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosat:
HTC one mini can't use external SD cards and it's camera has a lower megapixel count plus from reviews the camera underperforms despite having the technology on the HTC one that is supposed to improve the camera picture quality despite having a lower megapixel Count.

The ability for external SD cards was vital for me so I chose the s4 mini in the end. (like you I had a choice between both at the point of purchase)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iKlutz:
S4 mini is overall a better, faster phone. From reviews, HTC one mini had slightly better music quality and looks.

Well, i just updated my tablet GT P5113 TSYXAR with 4.2.2 android version and my tablet become a zombie (lol), i cant turn it off ... the tablet start all over again after "shut it down" ...

1) How can i fix it? Anyone got the same problem?

2) How recover back the original rom?

Thanks...
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamff:
I updated my 5113 and it did the exact same thing. It worked but I could never turn it off (always restarted). I tried everything I could think of; hard reboot, reset..etc

I finally gave up and rooted my device and installed CyanogenMod 10.1.3 (5110) and I am back up and running. I know that doesn't give you an easy fix but this is what I ended doing. Its not the same as the factory ROM but at least I could use my tablet.

Showing details appear that "AudioOut_4" creates wakelocks IMAGE: http://imageshack.us/a/img716/1442/l1wc.png. I didn't find any solutions so I did an hard reset. At the moment "System (*Wakelock*)" consumes 3-7% IMAGE:http://imageshack.us/a/img6/852/h72f.png instead of 60% (due to CPU usage in that moment) so now I can do 4hours of display on IMAGE: http://imageshack.us/a/img202/9325/46fl.png .

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] GBird:
I finally found a method for backing up and modifying the Extended ROM on an XDA2i device.

http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=373&PN=1

Unfortunately, although this method is able to do most of what I want, some of the cab files do not self-extract successfully during the reset process.

Graham. -- Issue resolved. No spaces allowed in Cab file name --

Before you ask, yes the cab files do self-extract successfully if tried manually (i.e. outside of the reset process).

If anyone has any ideas why some cab files work and others do not, please let me know.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] sparcle:
I played with the information in the article yesterday.. Some information in the article is incorrect. They state the ext. rom is 24 MB but when following the steps on the website this is incorrect !

Sure, extra drive reports a 24 MB drive but the what's backuped to the SD card doesn't include the whole 24 MB the ext. rom supposedly has !

What I'm typing below is more guess work than knowledge.

"d2s 80000000 3BF0000" probably means "dump to SD card" for a total length of 80000000 hex starting at 3BF0000 hex.

80000000 hex is 2147483648 in decimal. These aren't the amount in bytes that are copied.. I to honest it I have no real idea in what it are but when dividing it by 1024^2/100 you get 20,48. The / 100 is something I made up since that gives me about the amount in MBs I can put in the ext. ROM without having corrupted files. I don't want to experiment with larger values since I haven't studied the tools that are used in the article enough yet.

In short, be sure not to put more than say 20 MB in the ext. ROM and most likely your problems are solved. I personally put an executable sprite backup file in the ext ROM, packaged it in a way it will be copied to storage and run from there. It's the most effective way I could think of to fill an extended ROM. Simply with a fully installed but clean backup of the pocket pc.

Anyhow, that's it for now.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] GBird:
I considered it being a problem with size and reduced the amount of data in the Extended ROM by a huge amount (deleted several of the cab files that I did not need).

This reduced it down to around 13Mb for what it's worth.

All of the files installed to the ROM ok, but when the process which reads the Config.txt file reached the parts regarding two of the cabs I wanted to install, the files failed to self-extract without giving any feedback.

Several other cab files I wanted to install worked fine.

What all this means is that the problem (probably) lies somewhere other than the size of the Extended ROM.

Thanks for the post sparcle and if you find out anything more please let me know.

If anyone else can help here, please feel free to contribute.

Graham.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] Chan:
As above guide:

CE Rom size is 2700000 (hex)

Total backup size is 3BF0000 (hex)

So extended rom size is 3BF0000-2700000 = 14F0000 (hex) or 21,954,560 (dec)

So extended rom size shall not be over than 21,954,560 in total space.

-----------------------

But itsme's document

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=AlpineRomStructure

82700000-83f00000 extended rom

So backup range shall be 3F00000. (size = 66060288 (dec) which you can not use 64mb card, you have to use 128mb card to backup)

So sorry, I'll ask my friend ruchonburi to recheck again.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] GBird:
Just a quick note on the sizes you gave above:

83,f00,000 - 82,700,000 = 1,800,000 (hex)

= 25,165,824 (dec) (24Mb) for the extended rom.

83,f00,000 - 80,000,000

= 3,f00,000 (hex) = 63Mb for the whole rom

The document given at the site uses:

80,000,000 to 83,bf0,000 which may miss some of the extended ROM, which may explain my problem.

I will try using the numbers from wiki and see if it works.

Cheers,

Graham.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] GBird:
I tried using d2s 80000000 3f00000 to create the SD Card backup initially and I still had the same problem with some CAB files extracting successfully and some not.

Graham.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] GBird:
Looks like the issue may lie with spaces in the CAB filenames.

If it is I will kick myself for not realising it sooner and then post here to let you know.

Graham.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] GBird:
Ouch, ouch, ouch....

I've finished kicking myself.

The problem was indeed the space in the cab filename.

On the plus side it means that the process works fine.

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] clustered:
i just want to ask......by cooking Ext Rom....how much free space that can be use after that???? does it effect any upgrade in the future????
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] GBird:
The Extended ROM is an area that you cannot normally write to and is not considered part of the memory (as far as I am aware) under Settings/Memory.

By cooking the ROM you can alter what applications get installed when the device is hard reset. The installed applications will take up their normal memory allocation so in that respect it will reduce the amount of memory available to further applications.

It is possible to increase the amount of memory available by cooking the ROM as there may be elements of the Extended ROM that came with the device that you do not actually want installed. This is done either by removing the relevant cab file completely or by removing the relevant entry from the Config.txt file (both should be done, but one or the other will have the same effect).

Hope this helps,

Graham.

Hi fellow alpine owners

I'm keen to follow your tips and do some work in the kitchen.

I have downloaded all the relevant articles from the link provided so thankyou for that.

However i'm reluctant to take the first step with the thought of a unrecoverable disaster on my hands. MY NEW XDA2i!! So before i get started i thought i would consult the experts for any tips and traps for young players.

I've bought myself a large enough quality SD card to dump to.

I guess the aim of the exercise is to a remove unwanted programs and install some of the cool features of Special Edition ROM 1.2 including that really excellent anti theft tool.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, with what to remove/ install and how thanks in advance.

Miket

ROM version 1.11.00

ROM date 01/27/05

Radio version 1.03.00

Protocol Version 1337.42

ExtROM version 1.11.162 WWE
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] GBird:
First tip, use the process to back up the ROM of the device and keep it very safe.

Since all you will be playing with is the Extended ROM (and not messing with the OS Rom or Radio Rom) the good news is that if you removed all of the files from the Extended Rom you would still be able to boot the device. This gives you an opportunity to remove files to see what they install. If it goes really wrong, you can restore the Extended Rom from the SD card backup.

The XDA2i device does have a lot of room on it for additional items so you can add in extra Cab files or Exe files if you wish. You need to modify the Config.txt file to make the Extended Rom run these extras.

As for which files do what, there is a lot of info available around this site and others and I am afraid I do not have time to go into it at the moment.

I will see if I get some time over the next few days, but work is a little hectic at the moment.

Hope you have fun,

Graham.

The page is pretty good (that's why I pointed at it) :)

RomUpdate

The only bit that is a bit short on description is the stuff regarding using the romupdate tool at the top.

If you need a more complete description of this tool then I would take a look at:

http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/PDAforum_posts.asp?TID=62&PN=1&TPN=2

Be aware that the addresses for the d2s command are different for the XDA2 and XDA2i

Rom Structure

The memory address information for the Alpine (XDA2i) is available at this site:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=AlpineRomStructure

RomUpdate Commands

There is also a page describing some of the commands available in the romupdate tool:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HimalayaBootloaderCommands

XDA2 Cab Files

This site has a description of some of the XDA2 cab files which may interest you (though the XDA2i uses different cab files, some of which have similar names):

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=6470

Soft Reset in the Config.txt File

The last bit I'm going to mention here is that the last item in the Config.txt file soft resets the device. If you remove this item for some reason then adding the line "RST: Reset" on the end of the Config.txt file will soft reset the device automatically for you.

Hope these are of use to you, I know they were all of use to me,

Graham.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] miket39:
Absolutely excellent thanks Graham

Have got as far as using the split tool.

Xp is throwing a 16bit error my way, so i will have to resolve that before i can go any further.

Are you suggesting that when i re-build extended ROM to include "RST:Reset" on the last line in config.txt?

Anyway it's time for bed.

Thanks for the great links, will read through these tomorrow.

Miket
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] GBird:
With regards to the RST: Reset command, it is sometimes useful to soft reset the device at the end of the configuration.

This is because some of the Cab files will probably modify the registry and most of these changes will not be picked up until the device is soft reset (the device is still usable, just not using the changes).

Most of the builds that you may come across already do this as a last step in one of their Executables so they do not always include the reset line in the config file. Adding this line to the end will ensure that a soft reset always happens so that registry changes will be used.

Be warned, soft resetting the device will halt the configuration build at that point, so anything after the reset command will never happen.

I hope this makes some sense :)

Graham.

Hello guys!

I'd like to modify my german extROM too but I have a little problem: when I'm starting the ntrw.exe (it lay in the basement of my HDD, in C:\) it closes itself!

So I mean, I can't use the ntrw.exe from the PDA-Miz guide to write the ROM-image to my HDD!

What can I do?

Thanks in advance

animelover from germany
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] GBird:
Miket,

I'm not an expert with these tools by a long way and it might be worth contacting the folks who wrote the tools you're having trouble with (where possible) or the folks who wrote the websites I refer to (again where possible).

It sounds as though you may be grabbing a corrupted ext.img file from your pda, which (and I'm making a guess here) might mean that you've typed the d2s command incorrectly (for XDA2i, the command is d2s 80000000 3f00000).

I know that the method worked fine for me with the XDA2i's I have here so I am not sure how to fix your problem, sorry.

Animelover,

ntrw is a command line tool. The easiest method to use it is to start a command window, navigate to the location of ntrw and type the following:

Ntrw read <filename> <drive>

For example, if the sdcard is available as drive "F", then the following command:

Ntrw read rom.nb1 f:

would create a file called rom.nb1 in the ntrw directory.

Split is also a command line utility which requires a filename as an argument (rom.nb1 from the above example for instance) in order to create the three files you will need.

Hope this helps,

Graham.
