Anyone suffering from this problem please try the following suggestion, and if it works

please notify on this thread

.

After you 'unlock' and 'unhide' please reboot/soft reset the device

before

trying to resize the partition.

Cheers,

Alistair.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] landmark:
Anyone who's contributed to this thread did a soft reset after unhiding and after unlocking. In fact, changes doesn't even take place if you miss to reset. So your suggestion is and was an integral part of the process at all times and, I'm afraid, isn't adjuvant at all.

Please tell me if i got something wrong.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] AMS4:
Does anyone solved this problem?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Chef_Tony:
since there hasn't been any activity in this thread, it was probably solved. but since you posted here, i assume you have the same problem?

i gotta admit, i never heard of that on a blueangel, sure i know that error message from trying to repart my UNI's extrom, but that was because that just doesn't work that way and was just a stupid test, but back to the topic:

- make sure, you make enough soft resets

- make sure, you are using wm2003se, maybe also try another country's version

- make sure, you use the right tools (for safety, mine are attached)

- please post exactly, what model you have (e.g. qtek 9090, sweden or something like that, mdaIII, germany, is mine btw)

and then we'll see how to procede, maybe until then i can figure out more about that mysterious error and its origins.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] AMS4:
Hi there, thnks for the response.

- please post exactly, what model you have (e.g. qtek 9090, sweden or something like that, mdaIII, germany, is mine btw).

About the model, the devicedata gave me this:

PH20B 0 B | WWE E | ORANG001 | 1.40.00 0 0 1.40.179 1.06.02 06.02

Is a SPV M2000, from ORANGE (UK I think).

Operator version: 5.40.1.179

ROM Version: 1.40.00 WWE

ROM date: 03/10/05

Radio version: 1.06.02

Protocol version: 1337.38

ExtROM version: 1.40.179 WWE

- make sure, you make enough soft resets,

What you meant with this? Each step I made an Soft reset. It's needed more than one?

- make sure, you are using wm2003se, maybe also try another country's version.

Yes I'm using WM2003se. What you mean trying another country's version?

- make sure, you use the right tools (for safety, mine are attached).

Ye's, I'm using those one's.

I really wanted to get this problem solved..

Be the way I want to know if it's really needed to format the ExtROM.. From what I've read, I belive no (but it would be better).

The performance of the WM6.5 or WM 6.1 will be affect, if we don't merge the ExtROM?

If we don't merge the ExtROM, everytime we do a HARD RESET the stuff in the ExtROM will be installed?

Best regards
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Chef_Tony:
- i just asked for the model, because an earlier post said, that siemens sx66 for instance are affected by this error, because they seem to have another chip in them, but seems you're fine so far, except, that shouldn't be your actual values by now, because then you definetely don't have wm2003 on the device.

- i also just mentioned that because of an earlier post, but after each step is definetely fine.

- you can also try another version of the wm2003, for example from another country, for a pretty big archive of wm2003 shipped roms, please refer to -=xplode's shipped rom archive=-, where you can download and test for example the uk version or a different carrier, maybe it will work with them

- lastly: yes, i know, you are using those in general, "barbie's dreamhouse.cab" wouldn't work, i'm sure. ;) no, i meant, please try THESE in particular, download my versions and run them, maybe, by accident you picked up a wrong version of the right software.

i just saw, you are also running an old radio rom, maybe you want to upgrade that prior to the process, or if you go ahead and test a foreign wm2003 rom, they contain different radios anyways.

it is not really needed to repart the extrom, like you probably read in the wiki, but also you don't loose anything, and it can only be better to have more space and no junk from the past on the device, keeping it clean, which also brings up, that we had this discussion before, and apparently you upgraded without reparting in the first place and now you are stuck with a lot of work, that happens, when people don't listen to me ;)

just kidding.

after a hard reset, the extrom would not install, because it is completely unaccessable from wm5 and greater, including wm6.5 of course. this makes it as useless as can be. if that could be used for hard resets, the rom cooks would give you an extrom to flash with the rom, to have it with you the whole time.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] AMS4:
Hi there again..

I've tried to format the ExtROM with those files that you have uploaded.. but still the same error.

I've upgraded to ROM 1.15.. tried again to format the ExtROM.. still the same.

Now about that you said:

"- you can also try another version of the wm2003, for example from another country, for a pretty big archive of wm2003 shipped roms, please refer to -=xplode's shipped rom archive=-, where you can download and test for example the uk version or a different carrier, maybe it will work with them"

This means installing other rom, for example from O2 UK and then try to format the ExtROM?

Best regards
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Chef_Tony:
yes, i thought about trying another carrier from your country or even another carrier from another country, then you'd try again, btw. i googled a lot about that error message and couldn't find a solution in any german or english blog, forum or tutorial site, it popped up some times, but it was never actually clarified, why that came, except for the user making mistakes. but it wasn't even posted anywhere, what mistake it might be, except for the wrong device's unlocker, which is why i posted you mine. in your place i would try and go with another wm2003se rom and try again, but to be honest, at some point, if it still wouldn't work, i'd give up. the only other option would be to take another BA and try that, maybe your device is really different and not accesible with that tool.

best regards
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] AMS4:
I've tried with the O2 uk rom, and still the same. There is someone how said that have tried all type and kind of old roms and didn't get any chance..

Tell me, if I don't make it, I can upgrade to WM 6.5 anyway right? But how it's gona be when I make an hard reset? All the stuff insed the ExtROM will be installed one the WM 6.5? Like happensi n WM2003se when we make a hard reset?

By the way, if I still for example the ExtROM from xplode, the stuff inside the ExtROM will be erased and the stuffs of xplode's ExtROM will be installed there?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Chef_Tony:
ok, ok, let's not get confused here again. if there is really no way for you to resize the extrom, you can still use wm6.5, just have a little less storage space in the device, you'd lack 16mb. you already posted values of wm6.5, so i suppose you already had it and that question was redundant. same thing for the hard reset. i already answered that, and the answer is NO, that old wm2003 extrom will not install. you can try and download xplode's extrom, but it will not install to the old extrom, nothing is installed TO there. and it is also not installed FROM there, but FROM the sd card TO the device's storage itself.

as mentioned before, those 16mb are lost space, the only option is to unlock and unhide it and delete the entire contents and use it as a 2nd partition, all, the repart_doc does is join it to one bigger drive.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] AMS4:
Ok then this means that I can install anyway whatever WM I want. But will lack 16mb. But this 16mb is usefull for what? Installing software?

Ok then. All this because the WM6 doesn't use the ROM, but the SDcard. So far so good.

Let's see if I can understand this. We have the ROM and the ExtROM. The ExtROM has all that programs that are installed when we do a HARD RESET. Because the WM6 uses the SDcard, the XPLODE ExtROM will be located at the SDcard (insted what happens with the WM2003, the ExtROM is on the ExtROM partition, right?)

When we do a HR, in WM2003 the program in the ExtROM partition, installs to the ROM (the ROM is the DEVICE's STORAGE, right?)

In the WM6 the ExtROM, that is located in the SDcard, installs into the ROM, right?

So I WONDER, all that personalized ExtROM that we can make, like you told me that you have one, IT's NOT to be located in the ExtROM. We have to put it in the SDcard too, right?

It's because i THOUGHT that our personalized ExtROM could be "installed/located" in the ExtROM partition.

BY THE WAY, the device's storage is the ROM right?

About this, to finish.

SO the 16mb are lost space, but i can DELETE all the content MANUALLY? If it's so, can I make use of that space? How and for what?

Kind regards, thnks in advance for explain how this device works.
[HTC One S] Mythic~:
I have an HTC One S (duh) with CM10, hboot 1.14, S-ON, no superCID at the moment.

I want to flash a new ROM, but everything either needs me to have S-OFF (superCID) at the least, or a newer hboot.

So in order to update my hboot, I was under the impression that I needed to get back on stock ROM. I tried that - got some error while running the RUU. I also don't remember why I got that impression.

I can't do superCID because my phone, while showing up under fastboot devices, says device not connected with ADB shell. I already tried reinstalling the adb drivers, no luck.

I can't do either S-OFF (facepalm or moonshine).

So, should I just give up at this point?
[HTC One S] tivofool:
You will need to be S-off for the ROMs that require 2.16 HBoot.

The other ROMs (require 2.15 HBoot) You will be ok with S-on. Just have to remember to fastboot flash the boot.img before installing the ROM.

But first you need to update your firmware to 2.15.

So keep trying RUU.exe trying one that will work with your CID. Look for RUU that have JB that will bring you the 2.15 Hboot and Jelly Bean update.

Remember to lock your bootloader before running the RUU (since you are S-on)
[HTC One S] Mythic~:
Yeah, I've done all that for the RUU. I'm 100% sure I have the right one, but when I run it it gives me an error. When I get home I'll try again.
[HTC One S] tomk11:
In terms of Supercid and s-off. You can get supercid on roms that aren't stock, but you need supercid for s-off. So my phone was stock, then i flashed cm10, then i gained supercid, then s-off, then i could put whatever rom i fancied on (in that order). I had HBOOT 2.15.

Dunno if it helps because it sounds like you are using windows and i use linux but i had problems with adb too. Which I fixed by using the equivalent to "run as administrator".
[HTC One S] Mythic~:
I found the root of my problems - apparently my HTC drivers installation was corrupted, so most processes would get to a point but be unable to continue because of some error having to do with the drivers.

I reinstalled them, so hopefully I'll have some success with rumrunner.

Just kidding. Rumrunner says I'm "not rooted" even though I am running a custom ROM with unlocked bootloader.
[HTC One S] Mythic~:
So I'm S-OFF, but the RUU refuses to work. (I'm trying to get a kitkat-based ROM and i need hboot 2.15 for that)

I always get the error:

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Skeleton:
I have a persistent problem that I can't figure out how to avoid ...

Problem #1

Whenever my Galaxy Note-3 makes a connection to Gear via bluetooth, it triggers Samsung "Music" to start. However, Music crashes at that instant, with an error message, "Unfortunately, Music has stopped".

Problem #2

Media Controller on Gear works on any music app other than Samsung Music. It works on Google Play Music and PowerAmp. However, that is limited to working properly on following commands: Play/Pause, Skip forward, Skip backward. But - if I attempt to control the volume up/down, then it fails. At this point, I see that Samsung Music has restarted on Note-3 with the same error message.

Note:

I have a stock Note-3. The Gear is also stock, with latest update (MK7).

I don't use Samsung Music. I notice that I can't uninstall it, nor can I disable it. Whenever I force it to stop (Applications setting), then it reactivates at the time of either above two problem events.

HELP PLEASE !

============== UPDATE

-> SOLVED: see page 2 below.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Skeleton:
Can anyone confirm (unlike my experience):

1) Does Samsung "Music" work?

2) Does Gear's Media Control allow volume to be controlled up/down?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] le3ky:
Honestly. My best advice is just to uninstall (or freeze in titanium) Samsung music player.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Skeleton:
I wish I could but I can't.

I have a stock rom and want to continue with it. As such, native apps like Music can't be uninstalled.

The Application Manager doesn't offer "disable" for this one app.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] le3ky:
I love stock too :P I couldn't find the option to stop the stock music player doing anything, so that was my only option :/

Root doesn't mean custom rom. Like I said it's pretty easy to root your phone, and stay stock (like me). Root just means you have more privalidges with the file system (essentially).

It's an option if no one else can offer anything better! :P
