I downloaded this file Helmi_WM2k5_AKU3.2_32mb_v1.3.1 to ugrade my O2s.

But It occured error 103 Rom Image File Not Found.

What does it mean? And How can I fix it to continue ugrading?

Thank u very much.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] helmi_c:
U must copy/move the nk.nbf from WM2k5_AKU3.2_32mb_vx.x.x dir to PH20B or PH20B1 dir according to ur device type.

btw please use the new rom 1.3.2 or 1.1.2 version 1.3.1 is not paging pool patch enable (unless u modify its hex value)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] remixme:
Just wanted to give a big thumbs up and thankyou for this ROM, been using this since it came out. Granted I haven't used much in the the way of third party apps.

Was going to try the lastest AKU3.2, but this one proved adequate enough for me so why change it.

There are still bugs granted, I have seen media player crash for instance. It's a shame that all activity seems to have stopped at present.

Because this ROM is nearly perfect.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] crazysx66:
Anyone find a way to fix this bug. Seems to be present in 2.6 too.

How to open this file if you are a 4 year old

Ya I'm notvery savvy with these things but I think I can do it if I knew how to open the whole thing and what application I need to do it . I guess I need to find out how to open .rar files. can anyone tell me? AAAAnd I have thick skin so laugh all ya want.:)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Brazilian Joe:
If you are not very tech savvy, then I recommend that you read teh wiki page about Helmi ROM very slowly and carefully a few times, to get familiar with what you should encounter.

Try putting the device on bootloader mode and bringing it back before you try to flash it with the new ROM, to get used to it. learn to see tha screen with the back light off to see the 'Serial' and 'USB' messages which will be part of the installation process.

Go carefully around the instructions to get the Operator Name from the device. save it as a file on your computer, write it down.

Be patient when you flash it. Dont flash on a rainy day, or in time where peak energy usage could make a blackout. if you have a UPS, so much the better. TAKE CARE to avoid tripping on the computer power cord. keep kids away from the cords while flashing. Remember that faulty power cable you have, that you must do 3 twists to keep it connected? time to buy a new one ;)

But, to actually answer your question, google for 7-zip, which is a free program. You will have to go in the program option to asociate it with all the file types it can handle, as it does not do it on installation, but it's the best free file compresion app you can get for windows.

Good luck!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] realtordac:
This is good and I appreciate the help. I did read the wiki before asking for help but I can't find specific instructions regarding getting into bootlaoder mode. I have had other HTC models before and am familiar with the simultaneous button push while standing on your head whistling dixie backwards while reading the 39 theses but I don't know how to do it with the BA. I DO have everything else ready now and the kids are locked in the garage with no chance of rain herre for a while.:)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] raymonds:
this is in the Readme.txt in helmi's file (#4). maybe you haven't read the Readme file, hehe...

4. Put your device into Bootloader mode

Press and hold the "Power" & "Record" buttons, and then press the Reset Button

I´ve now flashed my xda3 with that release.

But i cant boot it.

After flashing it, i have made the hard reset and tried to press record and media, but nothing happens.

Now i have the multi colored screen and it shows me the radio 1.10.00.

Please help me to get it booting.

======================

EDIT:

I have nothing changed on the ext rom and storage, the configuration is like a factory new German XDA3.

EDIT:

The Operator was changed to: O2___102

That was the value vom getDeviceData

A couple questions about the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe process:

Should the window actually show the version numbers after it connects via the cradle?

In my case, there are no version numbers or any indication that it actually communicated with the SX66. If this is not correct response by the program, then how do I debug what is going wrong?

I think I followed the instructions (of course I think I did!)

I did not do anything on "Expanding the storage memory".

I did remove the file Middle_East_GprsAutoConfig_WWE.CAB from the EXTROM folder.

I did not modify cfg.txt.

I did copy the entire EXTROM folder to the Storage Card root.

I did copy SetOperator.bat to the WM2k5_AKU2.6_32mb_v1.1.2 folder and in a cmd widow ran "SetOperator XGULA001", which appeared to execute correctly. Then I copied the file nk.nbf to the PH20B1 folder.

I did remove the storage card and put the SX66 into boot mode which as a nearly blank screen with SERIAL v2.07 which changes to USB v2.07 when I put the SX66 in the cradle.

Windows did recognize the USB device.

Then I ran MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe in the PH20B1 folder, and it appeared to try to communicate with the SX66, but displayed no resulting data.

This is my first attempt at upgrading, and I could use some specific guidance.

If I have missed something in the wiki, please let me know.

TIA.

How long should the ROM upgrade take to do something?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] iksiksiks:
Hi, first of all test different nk.nbf files to view if show the version number with upgrade software (BA_Upg... or MA_Upg...) or may be a rom problem if not show the version only on certain files

anyway try this:

-run TaskManager ([CTRL+ALT+DEL] -or- [right-click on the bottom "Start" tray and select "Task Manager" from the menu] reaching TaskManager from Win XP)

-from the "Process" tab kill wcescomm.exe and rapimgr.exe

-now start MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and retry if the version appear

with this method i had no problem anymore, good luck
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] iamjohngalt:
Thanks iksiksiks.

I did get it to load on March29, and its working fine.

Either it did not like the activesync v 4.5 with the WM2003 or I inserted the SD card too soon, or both.

I downgraded to activesync 3.5 and delayed inserting the SD card til after the hard boot.

The MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe process finally gave enough indication that it actually was communicating and the ROM was loaded.

Helmi's AKU2.6 WM5 looks great on my SX66 now.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elfking7:
My phone is stuck on the boot screen for some reason. I did nothing to the phone. I just left it in my room and than I came back to it and there was the HTC logo on the screen. I was able to reboot it to fastboot. I went to recovery and opened up "install". It said that I had 0mb in storage. I then went to 'reboot' and all of them just said no OS installed. Please help!!

My phone is rooted with elementalx kernel flashed quite a while ago.

Thank you in advance
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
You probably need to remove some files off of your phone. If you have made a few nandroid backups of your phone or multiple custom roms you could have eaten up a lot of storage with them. So, remove some of your backups and any other files that you can do without on your phone. After you got some space on your phone try to install your custom rom.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elfking7:
Hi majmoz

The only thing I flashed was just the elementalx kernal and nothing else. The rest of my storage has only apps and a single backup created from recovery. From what I remember, I should have 20gb of storage available for use. The problem with my phone is that it is stuck on a boot loop I think from unknown reasons. What I know from recovery, I have no OS and no storage.

Thank you
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
Since you have a backup try to install it. If successful you will have your OS back and it will probably clear up your storage issue. If you have already tried that and failed, then try to install a custom rom. If you can't get it on you sdcard you might have to sideload it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elfking7:
Thank you for the quick response!

Backup is not possible, because it seems that my phone can not access my internal storage, since the restore option from recovery says that I have 0 MB of internal storage. I tried factory reset from recovery as well, but there is a lot of "unable to mount..." shown, even though factor reset was "successful". So that didnt work!

Will adb pushing a kernel work? Or does it have to be a custom rom!?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
You will need to push a whole custom rom, but first I would format the whole phone, especially the storage, hope you have everything backed up or theres nothing too important on there that cant be replaced.

Sounds like your nand is dying in all honesty just like an SSD would, maybe someone else can shed some light on the situation.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
/cache and /system will get formatted during installation of ARHD, or when you wipe "dalvik and cache" at the end of the installation, so don't worry about that.

but /data (and by extension internal storage) isn't good like this; use format and hope for the best: in TWRP wipe menu, select "Format DATA", then reboot to recovery again, and it should mount /data and internal storage

Good luck

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elfking7:
Hi nkk71

Just to confirm, should I go ahead with installing ARHD and then format the data?

Thank you!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
no, first Format Data, that will make a real format of the entire /data partition (which will erase everything), then reboot to recovery again, at which point /data and internal storage should now be mounted and you can go ahead and push or sideload ARHD.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elfking7:
I have formatted and was wondering how I can check if its mounted or not?

After I have done the data format and I moved on to wiping the internal storage to see if I get the "unable to mount" issue and it did. Do I ignore this fact and just move on to installing ARHD?

Can I suggest to install stock recovery, do a factory reset from bootloader and then flash twrp and you can move on with your life.

As stated in my return to stock guide post #3
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
internal storage is part of /data

so let's first confirm a few things,

1- you have an M7_U or M7_UL model

2- you are using TWRP 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4 (for the m7ul)

if yes, then

a- Format Data in TWRP (nothing else for now)

b- reboot to recovery

c- upon reboot /data get's mounted automatically

EDIT: or as mentioned above using stock recovery
