HELP!!

I am trying to install this upgraded ROM for my 8525. I verified that the phone is unlocked and in SuperCID mode, I even installed Hermes Extended ROM Unlocker & Unhider v3 just incase, but I cannot seem to get the ROm to install.. It goes into bootloader mode, gets to about 1% then I get:

ERROR [270] : Update Error

The image file is corrupted. Please check your Update Utility.

I have downloaded the image file several times, and also used different ROMS to try, always the same error.

My current phone is:

ROM Version: 3.62.502.3

ROM Date: 10/11/07

Radio Version: 1.54.07.00

Protocol Version: 32.86u.7020.23H

the main reason I am wanting to upgrade my 8525 is because I want it to work faster, and i am hoping to be able to leave the 3G turned on without dropping calls constantly.

Thanks for the help!

Live search giving me error when loading on this ROM

Hello,

CRCinAU, i am very impressed with the win 6.1 functionality. But i presume that there is still more work to be done on it.

So far i've tried a couple of cook's 6.1 (Pays, which doesn't even load up on my hermes) and your is stable enough to keep. :D

I just wanted to let you know or others if they can help me here.

The Win. Live search program does not work properly. I install it, it starts up and then tells me an error has occurred and it has to close. In the error msg.:eek: There is a mention of Net 3.5 framework etc. what's that about?:confused:

I remember installing Net frame 2.0 do you think i need to install 3.5?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] slyguy2000:
any Button 5 resolution?

First off, I want to give BIG props to CRC! v12r7 is super schweet! It actually made me enjoy my 8525 again. Since going to stock cingular-wm6 from wm5, I was hoping it would have fixed the WM5 problems, it just made more problems, to the point I was going to scrap the phone and go with a moto razr again. You have put the "Smart" back into my SmartPhone!

I was wondering if anyone has found a resolution to activating button-5 function again?

Thanks again CRC, your ROM Rocks!

(yay! my first post!)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Hrrrmmm... Works ok for me... Anyone else seen this? The .Net 3.5 frameworks is included in the ROM.

Ringtone reverts to default on reset.

Hi CRCinAu,

cannot go back to any other ROM's your's is so quick! The ringtone on mine changes back to default after phone gas been turned off or reset. Also having problems with bluetooth now having to delete and start again for GPS and Blueant X5 headset. Works OK with Cellnet handsfree and Blueant X3?? Do you have a new release almost ready??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mck062002:
Net 3.5 framework is included in the ROM. Pay's WM6.1 v3.00 work very well in my HTC TyTN.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] debonairone:
First, congrats on your first post... Secondly, somewhere in this thread ( I know 28 pages to read through) there is a post regarding PTTFix... If you install this cab, it will restore the button 5 functionality... Sorry, I don't have a link immediately available....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] debonairone:
As mentioned, 3.5 is already installed, but it looks like you installed 2.0 on top... I would suggest installing 3.5... What's the worse that can happen, it'll work...???

Release 8 is now on the mirrors. See post #2 for the changelog.

EDIT: Oh, and there's a little surprise in this release ;)

EDIT 2: Please use the Rapidshare mirror before the others. So far this month, my mirror alone has served over 180Gb of my ROMs. I have no idea how much the USA mirror served, however there have been over 2800 downloads from Radpishare as well.

To MrDSL and CRC:

Aaaargghh! Greets, Señor DSL from over the pond. You would have to find something wrong with this ROM ;)

CRC, Slow opening of the Windows directory is a pain. We can live with it, but it harks back to the old, dark days of WM 5.

There are some cooked ROMs out there, that have real fast Windows scrolling, and I don't mean the Lite ROMs. 3 seconds to open the directory, and instantaneous to open sub-directories. K's WM 6.0 Final, which I have installed, is a good example.

I wonder what the secret is? Anyway, what I am reading about your ROM looks pretty good, CRC. I am going to flash it today. Let's see if I have the same problem MrDSL reports.

Thanks for your effort on this CRC. I will be back to you after I play with your ROM a bit.

Ben

EDIT: I don't recall seeing the slow Windows directory complaint in versions previous to 8. Could the addition of CU be the culprit?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] raburton:
I'm not seeing that. Takes about 2 seconds to open my Windows folder, scrolls fine and instantly switches to sub directories. Seems just same as v7 to me.

Thanks CRC, got a Hermes last week and yours is the second ROM I've tried on it (first was black satin, which was fine but only WM6). I'm planning to stay on yours now. Although if I have to say something negative about it I'd prefer a rom not to change my boot splash screens.

Flashed release ver 8... still trouble with Live Search

OK!...

I understand that NETcf35 was installed. So why then would Live search be giving me problems.

I installed Live Search Cab.

It installs fine.

It starts up after install.

It loads up fine.

As it's setting it self up i get that error message again. :mad:

It is telling me that i need to install Netcf35.en.message.wm.cab file.

I've googled this cab file and have come up empty. :o

I've installed the NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab thinking this was the cab file for the NET3.5 it installs but almost towards the end it tells me need to free up more storage memory. And i don't see the program installed.

So that was unsuccessful.

I also get this problem with Pay's ROM - Lite and full <-- so i'm thinking it is something to do with Win 6.1 but it can't be b/c my friend who's got the Sprint Mogul working w/ a win 6.1 Rom has Live search and loads up fine w/o any errors. :confused:

Any one else having this problem.

I've googles the error message and not too much out there for me to investigate.

I do not have this problem w/ K's ROM Final FULL release. But it's win 6.0
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BigBen:
Reporting back as promised, I just flashed this nice ROM, and it takes about 3-4 seconds for Windows to open for me.

Thanks again, CRC. Looking good.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Slammin:
The secret to the fast Windows dir scrolling is to increase PagePool. It's set to 6MB with this and most 6.1 ROM's but I usually set it to 8-10MB. Right now I'm set at 10MB and Windows dir loads up in less than 2 seconds.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
You should not need to load any CABs to have Live Search. You will however need to sign into Windows Live for it to appear on the Today screen (Well, you need to tell it to put the search bar there).

Otherwise, you can go into Start -> Programs -> Windows Live and search from there...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] southeastblue:
Followed this Rom since version 5, now upgraded to version 8 and gotta say despite no flashy today screens it's probably the most stable and fastest rom I've used.

I also found with Shadows latest rom I had a problem with TCPMP, so quickly switched to this which runs all software thrown at it perfectly.

Big thumbs from me! :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Prerna:
Dear CRCinAU, regarding UC, I just know it is Sleuth's trick in order to backup the .cabs & profiles after an upgrade.

Beside that, I got no idea how to make it work, and I couldn't find a how to guide or some kind of instructions. Sleuth's main post seems focused on the how-to for Rom' developers, yet I admit I haven't read his whole thread.

Could you advise?

I'm loading v8 as soon as my battery is charged; then I'll see if it addresses the sound issues with AD2P.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
If you haven't read the whole thread then thats why. Its alll explained in that link. I would imagine most people are probably using DoeDoe's SDConfig.txt creator which is also located in that post.

Its all pretty straight forward.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] raburton:
I pretty much figured out what to do from that thread (just the first few posts, I also didn't read it all). It also took a bit of diffing registry dumps to figure out where all the settings where stored (especially notification preferences that are stored by guids).

I'd be happy to share my findings, but it strikes me as something well suited to the wiki. If someone could suggest the right place to put it in the wiki I'd be happy to document the stuff I've done. At the moment mine reinstalls all my apps, and configures virtually all my settings to just how I want them. It's pretty neat, though I'm missing a few things like configuring wireless, etc.

CRC: I was wondering. Now that UC support is included in this rom, which could be used to install the extras as currently happens from extended rom, is it necessary to have the extended rom or could that be dropped and given over to normal usable storage (as I think is possible from reading some other threads)?

Richard.

Taking Release 8 out for a test drive. I have loaded it with a bunch of stuff that I was using on my previous ROM (Kin0Kin Version 6.0 Full Final, 6MB PP). Things that I have added:

A_C S2U2 V0.99P

Adobe FlashLite (Flashlite2_1_Winmobile5_ppc.cab)

CompanionLink PocketPC Link V3.0 (Build 3017)

DinarSoft MemMaid V2.2

Emuntz HTC Home Customizer (HHCv10b5.cab)

Esmertec Jbed 20070802.2.1

HTC Home (HTC.home.v2.1.1005.722.Directory.And.Brightness.Fix.Schen.cab)

llium Software EWallet

PHM Reset (nice little soft reset program)

Q Inbox Extender

Resco Explorer V7

Resco Registry Add-in

Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool (V2.1.0.0.cab)

SOTI Pocket Controller V6.00 (Build 1229)

Sprite Backup V6.1.0 (Build 2192)

Start Clean

wpbear AT&T Proxy Folders

I also added an override to the registry to get the date and time format that I prefer.

So far everything is running OK. I did try NetFront V3.5, but it appeared to cause me some problems. I may try again. I'll probably continue to selectively try other software that is under development, such as PoinUI, and PocketCM Contact and Keyboard).

Opening the Windows folder is slow. It takes about 10-15 seconds to scan the folder before displaying the contents. However, once the folder is open, scrolling speed is no problem.

Ringtone

Any one figured out how to make it stop reverting to the default ringtone after a soft reset????
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lagoskon:
Does UC feature works for you because in my case it stopped in the Config screen says "Running SDAutoRun.exe" and just stays there and does nothing else. I made SDconfig as Sleuth says in first page with DoeDoe software.

What date/time format were you looking for? I think the Regional Settings for this ROM by default if English (Canada) which of course needs to be changed to United States if you want the short date etc..

using Release 8... ... but there got new version of WLM... but they didn't update in this release............

got new boot screen not nice.........weird weird..

i still think Release 6 is the best..

but this Release 8 seem like eating lesser power.. then Release 6 and 7
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] debonairone:
There is probably something running that is requesting your attention and it does not have the screen focus because the customization screen is still visible... Once I had the basics, I just edited the sdconfig.txt file manually and ran it from there... post the contents of the file and I will take a look at it and see if we can figure out your problem... my problem came from forgetting to add the extension on a file name and it hung at that point... I never had the patience to wait for it to tell me that the file could not be found...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] debonairone:
Hey Alex,

It is in My Documents\Ringtones, I think... You can just copy it from there...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
I didn't update versions as the only differences people have seen have been an increase in installed size of ~2Mb. I haven't seen anyone say they have noticed anything else different. If you have any information of changes other than this, please let me know. Also, because we install it from the extended ROM, you can uninstall the default version and install whatever version you wish.

The boot screens are to add more to my 'trademark' if you will. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
You will probably get this as a lot of programs throw all sorts of junk into \Windows. Therefore, the more you load, the more time it will take to parse everything and show you it all. I use the default page pool for this ROM, as really, speed listing the \Windows directory doesn't really phase me - the stability and speed in general operation is my aim.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] stan23:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
If it can be added as a simple CAB file, then you can be fairly certain that I won't be adding it. This is the primary reason for me adding UC support. For details on how to auto-install applications, see this thread. Release 8 of my ROM (and any later releases) will have support for UC program installation.

HSDA? What exactly You mean?

There is flashlite in Programs/Accesories :)

I need to clarify my observation. The slower load time was when I opened the PPC Windows folder on my PC through the Mobile Device activeSync interface. If I open the Windows folder directly on the PPC using the Resco file explorer, it opens almost instantaneously.

The only problem i've found so far (Gone from r6 to r8)

Is the slide keyboard locks up after the touchscreen has been locked, and the backlight has idled out (usually if I wait about an hour) and go to send a SMs using the slide keyboard, I cant, it's unresponsive (touch screen keyboard still works fine, just not desirable!)

I dont know if it's a setting i've stuffed up, but it's still a preeety standard flash, no major settings changes except for device name, country, provider.

Hello guys....

CRCinAU, you really did a great great job! Have followed the ROM since release 6..... they are the best ROMs ever used.... very stable and fast, thank you!

Yet there is a little problem, i just tried the latest release 8, i found that i cannot use the record function by pressing and holding button 5.... it just give a pop up window saying" The file 'Record.lnk -b' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."

Tried using the press and hold button 5 to run other programs, and the button works..... seem there is problem on record function only......

Have tried go back to release 7+ the pttfix provided, same problem....

wonder if anybody having the same problem??

and i had switched back to release 6...... can record properly......

Have i done something wrong?

Excepting the button5, it is the best rom, and i can't find any problem!

Thanks for sharing this great ROM agin, CRC!:D

ps, sorry for my poor English

release 7 and 8 having some problem..

when i using wi-fi connected internet using then my GPRS started to connect..

it seem like my network is using GPRS not wi-fi...

i always have to off the "PHONE sim network" then use wi-fi..

if not it will always connect GPRS..

release 6 don't have this problem
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
This is probably caused by an error in building the registry. Do a search in the Registry for "record.exe -b". Take the " -b" out so it just reads "record.exe". This should fix the problem. I'll have to track down where this error got introduced....

So far....

So far it's been a bit flaky...to begin with. Device suspended a couple of times and wouldn't come back. Had some bluetooth pairing issues too but a couple of soft resets seemed to have stabilzed it.

Also voice commander no longer works over bluetooth - not a massive issue as it still picks up commands over speakerphone and routes the call through bluetooth.

No suggestions - Just thanks

CRCinAU as I have been flashing for quite a time now I understand that the ROM should be what you like and we accept what you give us graciously and I say thanks for your efforts with this one. I have been through soft resets that turn into hard resets with some other chefs version of 6.1 but r8 has been running for two days now without any hangs, resets, hick-ups etc. I have installed heaps of cabs/programs and uninstalled different stuff also just to give it a run. I use A2DP also and have had some issues with a little skipping which I can live with as I don't have the knowledge to cook my own even though I've tried.

In finishing bloke - Just a simple thanks for your efforts and I will be glued to this post for v9 when you have the time to share with us. BTW RSPCA thanked u for the donation. :D
