i can do that provided that it isn't locked in by the OS. I'll do it later when I come back.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] tyguy:
Thanks, check your PM (Private Messages).
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] NotATreoFan:
Sorry to interrupt, but here you go:

http://rapidshare.com/files/249085596/CABs_from_New_AT_T_ROM.zip

Manila is not installed from CAB, so I created a CAB for it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] tyguy:
Thanks NATF.

Just one Q, what does then the PT_MANILA.CAB do?

Chefs like you never disturb!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] NotATreoFan:
Actually, you don't need that CAB. It is installed during Initial Configuration, and it adds the registry entries that start TF3D on boot. However, I added the required entries to my TF3D CAB.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] PythonFanTN:
Hey NATF....what happened to the OzIM cab? I was curious about this thread because I wanted to know if there were a new version of the cab for the instant messaging package as well....or did you just leave it out because the version didn't change in the new ROM perhaps?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aiiro:
OK, that's all very nice, but WTF is it?

Wouldn't hurt to have an "about" section in the post for ppl who see this thing the first time in their life.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Tiger22:
GENIAL !!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] suiller:
yep... you right sorry, I'll correct soon...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jackuuuuu:
suiller

OMG~ You finally made it available!!! I'm going to test it with my HD and will report back once everything is organised :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aiiro:
I didn't mean to sound rude, sorry... Anyway, thanks for the addition, but still - what is UC? User Configuration? Could You post some screenshots too to make it more comprehensible for dumbusers like me? :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] suiller:
oh FRIEND! I found you :cool:

yep, I'm looking here around to see if my mad projects can be useful :rolleyes:

the cab isn't still perfect but should work, of course I haven't a different device from diamond so all you will be a sort of beta tester

I've removed all specific diamond stuff, so it should work

Of course this is just a starting point, I'm dedicating much time to develop this small piece of "software", thx also to many other friends

You know as it works, so you should feel a bit like at home :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] suiller:
yep you are right... UserConfiguration, the only difference is that you don't need to write any config file, at least not as "normal" user, it's enough to copy under correct folders the CAB plus other stuff you want installed/loaded after every flash/hard-reset

I'll porvide soon a video-guide, so it will be for sure more clear ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aiiro:
OK, OK, nuff with making fun of me :) Or were You seriuous with video guide?

Cos I just had a brilliant idea - I'll install the damn thing and look for myself :)

I think I should have done that in the first place. But still, I believe screenshots would save some time understanding what's it really about.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TacoLoco:
Yeah Screwed Up Click for life :cool: :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] suiller:
no no I'm serious friend... but I'll suggest to wait a couple of days because I'm working on a new version where is possible to cut-off all the specific HTC/manila stuff & above all I'm re-commenting all the registry entries that interact with OS ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fwt:
Hi,

really don't want to be rude or offence, but ... isn't this something like SASHIMI????

If so ... where are sUC's pros?

kind regards

fwt
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] suiller:
almost... but it's very very simple... I'm testing an heavy modified version able to run on almost every WM6.x base device
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] suiller:
OK the CAB is ready for testing purposes... please re-read 1st post because I'm making a better, I hope easier, description of features... thx

bye,

davide
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] krale:
Mate, this piece of software is plain GENIUS!

So much easier than the UC thing, with all the boring scripting. This way you just place in folders, and you are (mostly) done! Amazing stuff!

I have some questions/requests for you though...

Is there a way to repeat the procedure (restore at 1/2 start up), at a later time? This could be useful, for example, if some files get corrupted, or you just want to revert back to default cabs/settings, etc. So I guess what is needed is a way to manually activate the procedure.

Second thing is regarding mail settings. Is there a way to back this up? My hotmail settings get destroyed after every HR.

Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] krale:
Forgot to mention, a manual activation of this procedure would also help if (for example) you want to make multiple program installations. This way you could just use the folder CAB, without wasting time on every single program you are installing/testing...

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] suiller:
hmm... it could be a good idea... even if some phases can't be reverted, or better it's very complicated to "go back"... such as for ramdisk

anyway many phases are yet accessible as indipendant scripts just take a look under "\Backup and Restore\scripts" folder, of course other script could be extrapolated but I'll do probably on next version... let's say this is a testing purpose version because I have to "think" that this app must work on many (almost all I hope) wm6.x based devices
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sskogen:
As one of the end (l)users who first saw this in Suiller's Dia Duit rom series, I can attest to this resolving one of the major grievances of Windows Mobile rom-upgrades. With some "smart" planning ahead, getting everything back can now be mostly scripted by simply placing the install file in the correct directory. Same with restoring data from your pimbackup, or adding registry settings. Once again we have a case where the xda-developers have surpassed the "offficial" roms in user friendliness. :p

I have since moved on to WM6.5 (still on my Diamond), but I sorely miss sUC from my later roms.

//Svein
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] suiller:
updated sUC, corrected some small issues

I corrected some default/samples reg files, so I suggest to erase all default *.reg files under REG folder to update correctly

move your personalization to something like "MyRegPers.reg"

please reports here bugs/issues/suggestions or whatever... thx
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] palmbluetooth:
Suiller thanks for this program, I was looking for something like this for a while now..

I tried the program, but when I run it after reboot I get an error messge:

Couldn't create directory\InternalStrorage\Backup and Restore

Line 13 (\Windows\StartUp\2ndboot.mscr):

MkDir(BckDir)

What am I doing wrong?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] teorouge:
Hi suiller! I've been investigating your wonderful sUC method since AHEN roms from sunnyin86 and I do think it's one of the most convenient features you can have. I had a shot with sjacquet's mod of sUC, but I got it half working on my WM6.5 Ita-localized build23001 diamond rom. Got to install every single cab from the CAB directory, only begins install of first cab in CABi but it stops at the point of selecting where to install to. If I complete the installation manually, I get an error after some seconds and the script shuts down; reg files import and file copy to rom didn't work either, when I tried to skip CABi installation.

Sorry for the digression, but I tried your last cab too, I had the Backup and Recovery folder and all the folders inside from sjacquet mod, installed your cab, reboot the device but just nothing happens. Plain nothing. Can you guess why? Do I have to flush the files actually in the dir from previous trial with sjacquet's?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] suiller:
please... I need some more info, such as: device, resolution, exact OS version & rom lang

thx or I'm lost in the universe :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] suiller:
hmm... interesting, yep it's better to clean your Backup & restore fodler, at least from scripts, you can safely leave inside your mails or pim backups, they are just files :)

I had an idea... I'll make a debug script so it will be possible to understand better what's happen in NON working devices :)

so download here the script, launch it & post here the content of the file saved under \temp. thx
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] teorouge:
That would be simply great and (hopefully) problem-solving! ;)

EDIT: no luck even using brand new directory structure with cabs only in CABi... it didn't even populate the folder with missing REG, EXE and CPY folders. :(

RIEDIT: gonna try ASAP, thanks! ;)

LAST-EDIT?: here it is, hope that helps! (btw, I could have told you those reg entries if you asked me :D ).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] suiller:
got it! ... I found the bug... give me some minutes to make a new working cab :cool:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] teorouge:
Looking forward! How could you find the bug without looking at the debug? I see no downloads... :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] suiller:
re-download the cab, now it should work fine

ps: you don't need anymore mortscript, is included in the cab :cool:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] teorouge:
First post, right? I'm asking cause I see last edit on 08 July, and today's 09... anyway, I'm gonna try! Thanks again! :D

EDIT: ok, I've seen filesize is different, guess it does be updated! ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] teorouge:
Ok, after reboot it runs. But... I'm having same issue as sjacquet's sUC. Script stops at CABi install, you can see HERE. Only difference, it's

line 472 (\Windows\2ndboot.mscr):WaitFor(txtInstalWindow,20)

. Can you guess why it stops?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] suiller:
sorry for late response but my diamond has broken :(

anyway waiting for repairing service... the problem is in the translation for non-WWE roms, of course only for CABi part

you can install CABi later, manually, because you have to install them just one time, you can recovery their links after every hard-reset simply with backStartMenu script (of course 1st make StartMenu backup)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] suiller:
updated cab & description

bye,

davide
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] teorouge:
Hi suiller, did you get your Diamond back from service? Got any ideas about non-WWE roms compatibility? :)

EDIT: After running sUC.cab, I can't sync via Microsoft MyPhone no more... it says I'm connected to an Exchange Server, but I never connected one! Please, can anybody tell me how to take this setting away? Was it maybe something in the stock regentries applied? I do need my precious, cloud-stored contacts!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] teorouge:
Can't even open Activesync on the PPC and cannot synch with my computer (though I can connect as "Removable device")... please!! Don't want to hard reset today, too... I did that yesterday! :D

gr8 work dude for newbees...keep up the good work..

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] salilshukla:
Hi Davide,

IT WORKS!!!!! On my Elfin running WM 6.5 Build 23047. Its a great tool for us consumate ROM Flashers :D (Hehehehe, kinda sounds like some kind of sexual perversion. And why not? Flashing new ROMs gives a pleasure parallel to..... ;))

But there are a few observations.

(a) Takes hell of a lot of time (at least in first boot), but thats understandable.

(b) It does not notify when it has finished its configuration. You have to keep checking if the screen has started reacting to finger gestures.

(c) It made a mess of my Titanium panels and erased all the tweaks and manual registry edits I had done. :eek: Some examples... CComm got UNinstalled!!!!! Titanium Weather and ATContacts disappeared from my Today Screen!!!!!! And I had to install them again. The order of Titanium panels got readjusted.

(d) Can't you "teach" your Cab to detect, copy and restore all the Titanium panels, edits done through CHomeEditor (both manual registry edits and order edits) and restore the same on HR/Flash? For example, my Fave contacts, my local weather settings including location, my fave websites, my applications shortcuts created through CLauncher could get restored. Or am I asking for too much? :D

(e) Could you also make some tutorial for us non-techies to explain how to backup our sounds, notifications, themes and other user settings? And what happens when I make changes in my user settings? Do I have to run sUC again to backup the changed settings?

(f) What use can be made of the ramdisk?

Inspite of all this, a great cab. Thanks. You've made life that much easier.

(EDIT :- CAB FILES IN THE CABi FOLDER DID NOT GET INSTALLED AT ALL)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] enjoylife1788:
Some thing really weird happened today...After flashing a new rom... to let u know..i tried flashing.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=548439 ...

But after flashing and then using SUC which i was using for the first time..everything went normal and smooth..it installed everything fine...even things on the internal storage...but wen it tried soft reseting, the diamond gets stuck at the boot loader i.e where it shows rom version, radio version....

and it did happen twice..doesnt go beyond that only...so i dont know whether m suppose to wait or something...i got really scared..waited for some 3 minutes and then hard reseted it.. am i suppose to wait longer..is this normal behaviour...i read someone mentioned very long first boot..so is this the same thing???

Please lemme know..what exactly is this..and if so some problem then what m i suppose to do with this..

Thanx..some1 please answer..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] teorouge:
I finally got to have it working in a non-WWE (ITA) ROM! Mods were simple, it's all about the texts it looks for in the installation screen.

Main memory installation was working from the very first time, so I had to focus on Internal Storage ("Memorizzazione Interna" in ITA roms, but it doesn't matter the name). I had a closer look at "Start restore.mscr" and I found that during Internal Storage install it recognizes windows looking at what's written inside, I think the first 2 or 3 words in it.

So I changed into...

## SCREEN TEXT INITIALIZATION FOR ITA ROM ##
txtInstallWindow = "Installazione"
txtSuccessful = "completata"
txtUnsuccessful = "impossibile"
txtRemove = "versione"
txtContinue = "continua"
txtRestart = "riavviare"
txtLicense = "licenza"

and here we go, working! It would be nice to have some kind of language recognition at the beginning of the script, updating the mscr with the right words for that locale. I could add Italian words and make some kind of repository, would you try and make something really multilanguage?

EDIT: this is actually for the sjacquet's sUC mod... but I saw they behave the same way, so I think the issue (and solution) is quite the same. Way to go, sorry for wrong thread! :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] enjoylife1788:
I had mentioned about a problem before 2 posts about it getting stuck after suc.

Now i did get it work. But now i am facing with few other problems..

1) It makes the bluetooth row in communication manager invisible and creates a blank row in place of that. On clicking that blank row, i lost my network. Very weird but true.

2) It changes the font size of the home buttons.i.e left and right. (at the bottom bar in windows 6.5.1) and makes it look very ugle.. makes them very big..

So if anyone else is facing this problem then please mention it.

I dont think many ppl are giving it a shot from the number of the posts and also the developer is not clarifying any problems..

Still i thought to share my problems with it.

Thanx
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] teorouge:
@enjoylife: try the mod in my post above yours, link provided... it's much cleaner, no unwanted registry modifications, if you want you have to put yours! ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Compatible with 6.5.x?

Is it compatible with 6.5.3? I saw some tweaks for 6.1. Please advise.

Hey Suiller,

After installing this on the Gen.Y ROM I can't get Opera to work. It's Opera9.exe in the Windows folder.

Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Paveway98:
Hey Sullier,

Whilst I'm thinking, can you provide some guidance (step by step for idiots like me) to do some standard 'Reg' suff. Like:

Ringtones

WiFi

ActiveSync Settings (Really important!)

Thanks!

[G1 General] ggrant3876:
I have asked this question on several forums and have yet to receive an answer. I have been told on one forum that this can happen. I would just like to know if this is true or false with certainty.

Thanks
[G1 General] GenericNode:
There are a finite number of write cycles. But there is no way you're anywhere near it.
[G1 General] Chahk:
Flashing the SPL can "brick" (i.e. render completely inoperable) your G1 in certain cases. Flashing ROMs though should be pretty safe.

Don't worry about wearing out your SD card due to writing to it often. Most new ones have wear leveling technology built in to prolong their lifespan. If and when your SD card does start to get flaky, a new one can be bought cheaply.
[G1 General] ggrant3876:
Do you have a ball park figure to the number of times? I have had my phone for about 7 months and have flashed quite a few times.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.
[G1 General] dvinnen:
10,000 to 100,000
[G1 General] jubeh:
10,000 to 100,000 is for regular read/write operations that operating systems perform. Flashing is a bit more intensive than that, so I think about a hard cap of 10,000 flashes is more in line. You never really lose all the chip at once, so once the chip starts wearing out, you'll start noticing decreased capacity, slower speeds, etc. At that point you know the chip is dying.
[G1 General] androidmonkey:
LOL, you wont even come close to the minimum of the range. Why are you so worried?

BTW, quit flashing your phone and enjoy it :)

I just install Manilla2d on my HTC Touch Dual phone. It installs works great. The only issue is that i'm missing the task manager drop down at the top right. I installed HTC task manager 2.0 as well as a patched 2.1 version. Neither of them worked and I am still task menuless

I went into the today settings and made sure the task manager checkbox is checked.

Hi all

Thanks to an outdated link on some external website I updated my ROM with an older v4 raphael - and now I'm stuck at this "This concludes the beta test of this software release" screen.

I CANNOT get into bootloader either

I dont want to throw this phone away now !!!

I'd be eternally grateful to someone...ANYONE who can get me back into working mode ..

PLEASE HELP. I've been searching these forums for 20+ hours now without sleep - and found nothing to help me get the phone back to working state.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] dwmackay:
Try taking out the battery, SIM & SD card. Wiat a minute or so and put only the battery back in.

SIMULTANEOUSLY press volume down, center button and soft reset. CONTINUE to hold volume down and center button. You should get to the tri-color bootloader screen. If you do, you will be fine, just flash a new ROM from SD. If not...

BTW did you Hard SPL?

Doug M.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] praxkan:
:(

I just tried that

It comes back to the normal windows mobile screen (like it would if i did soft reset). I did run the hardSPL before doing this - and I did see the tricolor screen before i updated this ROM

I just cant figure out how to get to the tricolor :(
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Skippy38:
also make sure you press UP on the volume control this will hard rest you. You should be able to let it run and it will get to the calibration screen. Once there run a new ROM wrapper.exe and all should be ok. Had similar issues like this don't panic.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] praxkan:
Ive tried every combination of button pressing.... it just resets back to the OS screen
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] hilaireg:
Humour me for a moment ...

Pull out the battery, pull out the SIM, and pull out your SD Card if you have.

Put the battery back in and

only

hold the Volume Down button. Keep holding Volume Down and turn on the device.

If all is well, you should see the TriColor Bootloader screen with USB in the bottom white area. If so, connect you're USB cable to your pc & device.

Flash the HTC Stock ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=478657) for now just to get the device up and running.

Let me know how you make out.

Cheers,
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] dwmackay:
Now that the real tech studs are here you are in good hands. Just try what they recommend exactly. This is an unforgiving process. You really need to do it precisely as recommended.

It definitely sounds like this is fixable. Once you get this fixed, keep flashing.:)

Best of luck.

Doug M.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] praxkan:
Thanks everyone !!

I have managed to unbrick it, reflash it and upgrade to RC4 and have it working !!

I love this community :):)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Elkoren:
I'd get this answer to the FAQ

Everyone who tried to flash a ROM for the first time has been terrified from this exact consequence...

hilaireg, I'm feeling much more comfortable now, knowing you are part of this helpful and amazing forum.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] corepda:
Thank god you are happy, otherwise if I see someone stuck with this process it hurts me more than anyone else. Always do ROM upgrade as shown by MSKIP in the sticky thread for beginners. Cheers.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] hilaireg:
Glad it helped ... if it was my suggestion that got the OP going. ;)

sakshamkatyal is correct, mskip did a fantastic job at documenting the process and what I suggested ultimately does come from that article.

In this situation, the important lesson to learn is not the recovery; it is to always research and read up on a ROM one is planning to use so as to ensure that it is a) the most current, b) from a trusted source, and c) supported on an ongoing basis by the chef who prepared it.

Cheers,
