i created the goldcard through a reader and not the mytouch. once i realized that it stopped reading my micro sd cards, it tried to get it mounted on the mytouch running a hero rom which it was able to and i formatted it on windows while it was mounted. I think the issue now is that your micro sd adapter might be corrupted from the goldcard creation. do you have a spare micro sd adapter and reader available? try and see if you can see the card from there.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] razorz:
I should be able to mount the SD card from my Hero in windows correct? If so, this is a brand new device, brand new USB cable, brand new SD card plugged into a totally different USB port. Still doesn't work.

Hi

My S740 on Orange has an issue:

I use "HTC Home" as my default display, all very nice until I get an email (got the send/receive set to do it every 30 mins or so).

If I get 1 email, the display on HTC Home says I have 2. If I get 2 emails, HTC Home says 4 etc

Two ways of getting the display on HTC Home set to correctly display the number of unread emails - restart the phone, or change to another "Home screen layout", and then back to HTC Home again.

Works OK... until you get another email.

Anyone else get this? Anyone else know a permanent solution?

Cheers

Hey there,

After lots of problems with my P3300 (see this thread), I've decided to flash it to see if that helps. I'm not too bothered about getting the GSM working again as I have another phone, but I'd like to be able to run all apps again.

So... I'd like some advice please.

What would be the best ROM for me to use if I just want to use the phone as a GPS device, portable wifi web browser and notepad?

Basically something pretty stripped down with as good battery life as possible.

Is there any advantage with going for WM6 over WM5?

Bear in mind I've never done this before and am currently reading up on all of it.

From what I've read so far I'll have to do the CID unlock first (currently have WM5 in french installed and would like an english ROM)? I think it may be unlocked already but am not sure. Is there a way to check? Do I risk anything if I run USPL even though the phone is already unlocked?

Thanks in advance for any advice!
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] randythered:
You can check if your phone is CID unlocked if the SPL number which comes up while booting during the big white HTC screen says 1.11.0000. If it says anything other than that then it's not unlocked.

Best stripped rom for me is Sheen's clean base version 3. Check it out, it's on the first page of the thread.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] thormdac:
alternatively, if u want fast and stripped, go for yues extraclean (see my signature):D

[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] mta33:

[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] seebasso:
Thanks for the replies. My SPL says 1.12.0000 so I guess I need to do the CID unlock.

Ferfecir Build 20931 looks like the most promising from those.

Can anyone please point me to a good tutorial for flashing the ROM via activesync? I'd rather not have to format the memory card if I can avoid it and my soft reset button is broken. (I have serached but had no luck)

Thanks!
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] farukb:
download uspl from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=311403

and any rom you want...

unpack the uspl

plug the cable in the device and establish a usb connection

run the "start_uspl.exe" be patient...after being prompted to click some "next buttons" follow the procedure...and i mean it...follow the procedure...that with 50% battery,no programs running on the pc,no unplugging the cable and so on...

and you will have the uspl flashed

go to boot loader...The bootloader is invoked by pressing down the Power and Voicedialer buttons simultaneously, and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the left side. Continue pressing the two buttons for a few seconds after pressing and releasing the reset button until the bootloader screen appears.

if uspl says 1.11.000 then you are good to go

now you can flash any rom (cooked for artemis) and any artemis radio (i recommend you the 3.34.90.) onto your artemis

simply download,extract,run the rom update utility (RUU) ,follow the procedure and watch the show...

if you ever get an error during flash or anywhere else in the rom update utility...refer to this page and troubleshoot your troubles http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RUU_Errors

if you get an error saying invalid file size or something like that (you will get it if you try eg this rom..http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=465291)

go to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=521406 download the file and flash it if it is an ordinary rom...just run the RUU

afterwards just check it in the bootloader if it says 1.11.cmon it is ok....and you will be able to flash virtually any rom cooked for artemis onto yours
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] farukb:
i must be damn crazy to post this thing...because it is all there in the wiki and the forum stickies,believe it or not
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] seebasso:
Thank you very much for the detailed instructions.

Just two more questions!

My reset button is broken. Can I just turn the phone off and back on to check if I have 1.11.0000 instead of using the bootloader?

And the RUU is this one? http://code.google.com/p/htc-flasher/downloads/list (only file I have for the new Ferfecir ROM is a .nbh, is that all I need?)

Thanks again.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] d-signet:
this is a very open-ended question.

Everyone on here will have their own favourite rom....if there was 1 definate fits-all "best" rom ...everyone would be using it..but there isnt and we are all using the rom that suits us best

some people want their phone to be more like an iPod and so the multimedia aspect is a priority along with decent graphics and animated menus

some people want the PDA functionality most so they want a really stripped-down fast rom that is reliable and handles email well

everyone wants to use it their own way....thats why this site exists.

The guys who make these ROMS are the guys who say "this is good, but i want it to be more like THIS."

Follow farukb's (excellent) instructions....unlock your device properly....if you get any problems, search for the answer before asking for help....chances are hundreds of people will have had the same problem and hundreds of people will have already given the answer...and then ....just look around the site. See which roms are available that fit YOUR needs, and flash it....if you dont like it, try another.

I'm trying 6.5 roms at the moment and love it....i've flashed it probably once a week with a new ROM each time a new version is released and have seen the OS evolve....right now i'd say PDhee's Mega 6.5 M2D rom is the best of the bunch providing you're not planning on installing LOTS of exra programs.

that's the beauty of these things, if you dont like the ROM, just try another. Sometimes the ROM won't work quite right (especially if flashing ROMs between different cooks) so just try flashing it again to make sure it resets everythin correctly. If it's still not right, try a different ROM.

yeah, unfortunately (and it seems to have increased over the last year or so) nost people on here are noobs who can't be bothered to read through some threads or use the search and we just get the same questions asked constantly.

I dont minds helping people....providing they've looked for the answer themselves first.

every time a new rom is released there will be people asking what error 260 or 270 means?, do they need to USPL? etc etc

it's easier to ask someone else to take time out of their day to aswer your question than just type "error 260" into the search box and find out for yourself. They dont consider that people are having to answer these questions 10 times a week, in their own time, for no thanks, just to have the same question asked the next day. Purely becuase they couldn't be bothered to see if anyone else has asked that question before.

sorry...rant over....i love you all :)
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] d-signet:
no

you need to use the reset button (stick the stylus in the reset hole) .

Reset is like turning your computer off and on again

Power button is like turning the monitor off....it doesnt stop programs running and it doesnt properly reboot the device.

Your only alternative is taking the batter out i think (just like pulling the plug out will also reboot your computer).

If you havent already run USPL, then you probably WILL need to do it.

i dont know the specific ROM you're talking about, but just an NBH file will NOT work. You need the EXE file to run it.

Just download any suitable ROM off this site and it will have the whole package....if you're downloading from another site you'll have to ak that other site for help
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] seebasso:
my reset button doesn't work. i took the phone apart to change the touchscreen and must have misaligned something when putting it back together. sticking the stylus in the hole doesn't do anything anymore. will take the battery out instead, thanks.

regarding the rom, it is one i downloaded from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=531972&highlight=ferfecir

the rar file downloaded from 4share (http://www.4shared.com/file/112067347/72728603/ARTEIMG-Ferfecir_-_20931_en_gncel_hali.html) only contains the nbh, no exe.

and for the record, i've spent all afternoon/evening researching this, searching this forum and the wiki etc! i appreciate it's annoying answering the same noob questions over and over again but i thought my thread was specific enough to warrant it and am grateful for all the replies.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] thormdac:
...yeah, and if you read ferfercirs description fully, you will come past "sd-card-flashing" which is the way to flash the *.nbh -part of your rom in a way without needing an activesync connecton

greetz
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] seebasso:
i did read that bit :)

but as mentioned a couple of times in this thread already, my reset button is not operational so i cannot use bootloader (afaik). so i assumed there was another way.

but i guess i'll find a rom that comes an an exe and save myself some trouble
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] thormdac:
no need to keep searching,

u can simple take the provided *.nbh file that came without an exe, rename it to ruu_signed.nbh, exchange the existing RUU from a complete installer-routine and off u go, provided u have used uspl first

greetz
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] seebasso:
ok thank you once again, i'll try it tonight.

one final question! do i need to have a sim card inserted while running USPL or does it not matter?
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] randythered:
It is recommended to remove both your SIM card and your MicroSD card during any type of flashing, whether it be USPL or ROM. Even my reset button is not working anymore, my phone got dropped in water and I had to give it for repairs. After motherboard change they assembled it slightly wrong I guess, and it doesn't work. But I can still get into bootloader by just pressing the Voice record and power buttons together for 10 seconds. Try that.

Secondly, I hate to be plugging myself here, but I have just cooked a clean 6.1 ROM myself, with the latest build of 6.1 that is 21054. you might want to check that out, it comes with the full package and not just the nbh :)

here it is :P - (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=551728)

Again, sorry, but Im giving you an option thats all :)
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] seebasso:
ok i need help again sorry! i tried this but i got an error after 5% saying the .nbh was an invalid size :(

i used the ROMUpdateUtility.exe from Arte_WM65_23009_M2D_Mega_beta1 ROM (i removed Arte_WM65_23009_Mega_b1.nbh from the folder and replaced it with Ferfecir's .nbh which I had renamed to ruu_signed.nbh)

What did I do wrong?

I ended up flashing with Arte_WM65_23009_Mega_b1.nbh and it worked great but that ROM is too much for me and I want Ferfecir's simpler one.

Thanks
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] randythered:
You need to flash the newer USPL which allows nbh files of a smaller size to be flashed.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
The short answer is if you are switching between ROMs (like going from hero to CM builds, JF to CM, or some combo) then yes you should wipe. If you are upgrading the same build to a newer version (like going from CM 3.6.8.1 to 4.0.1) then no, you don't have to wipe.

It sounds like you should upgrade your recovery image at the very least to cyanogen's recovery 1.4. Come on, everyone's doing it. :D

i have the same tmobile rom, and it shows 256.its hard to think its a typo in the hardware manager. i would imagine that if the hardwware manager is reporting 256 to us on screen then it must think there IS 256 on board...which makes me feel like that even if there is physically 288 the phone will only utilize 256 of that.

i guess the real way to tell is try to math out all memory being used and what the phone saysw is left for available mem. or some 3rd party software that will read hardware specs and whats really in use and free.

my gut feelingis its not utilizing 32mb of ram thats there

Technically it's not misleading, the RAM is there, and the phone does use it. Though for different purposes. It would be clearer if it listed both RAMs and said "256" for programs and "32" for baseband processor. Misleading would be more like them calling a 32MB swap partition on the ROM memory RAM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] TheMan42:
Hate to break it to you, but even with a custom rom (im using EnergyROM)it still wont be anywhere near the full 512mb of ROM available. I guess Windows takes a good chunk up.

As far as RAM goes, the TP2, regardless of what people think, has 288mb of useable ram. Those wondering what could be chewing up over 100mb of ram should prolly look to the fact that TouchFLO uses a huge amount of it.

It is the rom you are running. If you use hard spl and use a custom rom, you will find that all of the 288mb of ram is available for use. I am using fusion 5.o by atom ang. Great choice or the energy rom is the way to go. Dont forget to hard spl as well.
