Problem with pictures after update - HTC Excalibur

Hi, i recently upgraded to Ricky's WM6.1
during the update, i took out my MicroSD memory stick as i was supposed to. but when i put it back in after the update, i couldnt open any of my pictures.
Every icon has a pictures of a file with a picture of a lock over it.
any reason for this?
any way to get them back?
Please help, those were my favorite pictures!!!
Please help, thanks guys
ps: i didnt back them up to my computer because the memory stick wasnt in the Dash when i upgraded, so i saw no point.
Guess i see the point now...

Can you still view them on your computer using a card reader? Some memory cards have slide locks on them also but I don't know that microsd cards do.

SDHC on WM5? ?

Hi, has anyone managed to get a SDHC card to work with WM5? i have tried a couple of different CAB files, but non have worked. I cant change my ROM, so CAB files are the only option
just curious, but why can't you change the ROM ???
Is it a technical problem, or a company owned phone that you don't want to fiddle with ??

Technical, doesnt sync with USB anymore, caused by charging the phone in the car while starting the engine, causes a spike in the current = blown USB board... still charges tho!

Unless anyone knows better, the problem isn't with WM5, it's with the hardware. SDHC still doesn't work after upgrade to WM6.
Edited an hour later: yes, I'm glad to say someone does know better I tried this about 4 months ago and it didn't work, but I just had a look and there is now a later (and much larger) .CAB than the one I installed last time, and this one works! Excellent news, never been so pleased to have been wrong. But I am running WM6.
Rgds, Andy
sooooo... can anyone answer my question?
Yes, i am interesting in patch for sdhc wm5 because there is no problem of memory with wm5.
If a developper can help us, we would be very happy !!
Sorry for my poor English !!
Bump. Can anyone help us WM5 users?
*Bump* *again*
There must be a answer to this...
Anyone can answer ?
*more bumps*
Surely there is an answer to this! Have SpbMobile Shell 2.0 installed, which is very flashy and nice. The icing on the cake would be more storage memory!

Upgrading TMobile Dash & 8 gig microsd cards

Hello.
I have just got my first cell: the tmobile dash. I have done some research and am under the impression that it is acually the branded term for the Excalibur. Alright; so it started when I wanted to throw in a microsd card. I looked around for the biggest one I could find (8gig) but have heard a few rather conflicting blurbs about the high end microsd cards in this paticular cell. Simple question: will it support it? I have also heard that you have to have windows mobile 6 or some sort of generic not-branded ROM in order to use them. I do have windows mobile 6... so do I still need to do the steps outlined in the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327757
? If so its not a problem, but I dont want to go though all of that just to get back to square one with the thing. Another thing though: I custom build all my pc's and format all my laptops first thing so I dont have to put up with all the crap companies like to put on my stuff. So is this a similer thing? If it is that would be a reasen to go though with it in itself.
So my second question would be, are there any benifites to 'formatting' my cell with this unbranded ROM other then being able to upgrade the OS? Im certanly not computer illierarate, but as far as cells go I am completly lost. What programs will I need to reinstall, and which ones will be preinstalled?
And finally, will any of this conflict with the service I get from tmobile? Like I said I have no idea how cells work and the protocols and subscriptions, so I wouldnt know. Would it for example screw with the internet service I would like to subscribe to?
Oh, one more thing, WHERE IS NOTEPAD?? I was trying to jott somthing down on my phone today, but could not find any sort of notepad type application. I found Word, but I cant create documents with it (only edit I guess)...
Thanks for your time
Well, on WM5, my Excalibur supported 2gb micro sd cards. On WM6, it happily supports a 4gb micro sdhc card. I have read that it does support higher capacity than that also.
In terms of formatting, I think I could only format the SDHC card FAT32. The non HC card could be formatted FAT or FAT32.
The FAT format can make a difference to some apps working or otherwise, I have heard, but none that I have used have had a problem.
Cheers.
One other point, the only reason I went from WM5 to WM6 was to enable SDHC. I can have Route 66 (with 3 maps) and plenty of music on a 4gb card. I just found 2gb a bit limiting.
Just wish I could sort out the re-booting loop issue with the sdhc card installed!
Good luck.
I have a original HTC branded Excalibur, and it supports my 8GB micro SDHC card.
As long as you change the rom from the T-mobile branded to the Rogers or the HTC rom you will be just fine. I have a 6gb SDHC card on the latest HTC rom.
Im downloading the "NEW HTC ROM!! HTC_WWE_1.33.422.1_4.1.13.51_03.07.90_Ship.exe" right now. I guess this will make it faster and have better signal strength. Does this replace windows mobile? Can I still develop for the compact framework, and use other microsoft programs on it?
Also, do I still have to go though the unlock steps in the aforementiond thread?
So doing this will not affect my plan with tmobile at all and I can still do things like call people and send text messages?
Thanks for all of your help.

Yes it should run faster, slightly more stable and will enable SDHC cards. It is Windows Mobile 6, the same thing you can install from T-mobile, only more updated with better features and no t-mobile branding (logos etc...)

Yes. If you have problems with the install I'd read the thread for solutions, every problem has a solution and they are all on that thread.

Yep. You'll need to reconfigure you're MMS, internet and text settings when complete. You can get these settings with a search on this board or google. A google search should link you to the t-mobile settings tool on their website for just such settings.
It will be a lot of time consuming work to get your rom changed, all the programs reinstalled, and the phone tweaked just the way you like it, but I guarantee you that ultimately you'll be extremely pleased you did.
OK. I ran the unlocker, then the bat file, and the screen went black. But now it cannot connect to the phone. the screen is still black and it is connected to the USB cabel, but I cant load active sync and the ROM updater is giving me an error 260 connection problem... Im searching the forums now franticly, but it would be nice if sombody can post a quick fix right here.
thanks
Ok. I removed the battery, restarted and tried again. Now its all setup and configured and still calls people
Now; are there any links to a place where there is a list of good programs to put on my phone? And will an 8gig microSD card work on it?
Thanks

Did you simply restart your phone or did you actually get the rom successfully installed?
Lol, after I restarted I tried again. This time it came up with a white screen, and I manually ran some program in the root of the phone directory. Then I was able to install the ROM just fine.
I like the new colors, and it definitly is faster and less cluttered then before. There are some minor things like being able to scroll with the buttons on the side, and a few other nice things that make it feel alot easier to use then before. My question is why companies like tmobile dont make it easy to do this kind of stuff....
Another question is where did these roms come from? Did they come right from the manufacturer, or were they leaked?
8gb works fine for me. Curious on 16gb now..........

Daxian T32 Phones

Okay so i ordered and received a Daxian T32 phone. This phone is great in all, no problems except for the wifi not working. It has it built in phone it has been disabled and only a wifi firmware update will enable it and whenever that will be out and i dont want to wait. Is there anyway to enable it? Tronicvasion were i got it from said that there might be a hack for it i guess. I was wondering do anyone have any info on this. Thanks.

I have heard that there is a hack for it, but haven't been able to find it anywhere. It's probably all over the Chinese forums...in Chinese....
daxian
hi folks!
i got an daxian x999 (which is the same as your t32) and i´m desperatly trying to dump the rom, because i want to modify or even replace it!
if u got to know somethings about hacks or tweaks, please tell me about it!
if someone can tweak it, maybe he even can dump the rom
thanx in advance
chuckbert
p.s.
to have wifi in my phone would be quite cool, too
Hello,
i have the x999+ with working wifi.
If it would be possible to read out my rom. could this be helpfull for you?
michael
rom!
sure it would be helpful... if it would be possible!
i´m trying to do this for a couple of days and i desperately need help from some kind of "rom-god"
so all u "rom-gods" reading this: gimme a hand, please!!!
I do have the 8 Gig mini sd card update for it, but nothing for the wifi yet. I dont even know how to get into the rom to enable it. As for the GPS chip it is over in europe from what i heard.
update
@thepindoctor
what kind of update is it?
just a .cab or something to flash the device?
It is just a cab file for the 8 gig memory card to work and i sure the wifi update will be the same way. I am having so much trouble with this phone rebooting at times and even hard resetting at times, im so glad i kept my wing, gave that to my wife but now im taking it back.
wifi
where did you get the information about the possible wifi-upgrade from?
i´m still very interested in it...
p.s.
i never experienced these kind of problems, though i keep playing around with my daxian to get the bootloader out! kinda strange...

SDHC update and WIFI
To enable SDHC, you can just look for it on the forum, it is on here several times...
Am not sure, but don't think that there will be an "update" for wifi...
The daxian x999/t32 doesn't have it, the daxian x999+/t32+ (which I have) does however...
So don't think you should get your hopes on for a "wifi update", if you would have a wifi antenna built-in, don't you think they would try to make it work from the beginning?
The + version has also been released a couple of months ago and if there would be such an update, I think they would've released it then.
is the sdhc hack a standard wm6 update for all phones? can't find a specific T32 one on here
I have the Wifi Hack App
Its a little dificult to do this:
1) get the pocket hack master (trial version)
http://store.handmark.com/p/910/Pocket_Hack_Master_for_Windows_Mobile_Pocket_PC
2) Shut off BLUETOOTH on 13%
3) Download http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/get-wmwifirouter-v0-89.html
WIFI router
4) on T32 (only T32) go to Settings - Connections - GPRS Stup, name it WIFI (on gprs internet)
5) save and restart t32. Run the wifi router and it will find your connection
And your using T32 wifi . thanks Rex909 the ghost hack master
i think i explained it right if i left something out let me know
That doesn't really make any sense. I've never been able to get Pocket Hackmaster to work with my T32. And how would one "shut off BLUETOOTH on 13%"??? And what would Hackmaster and the WiFi router have to do with each other?
any answer to the sdhc update whereabouts?

problem with my daxian x999
Hello my friends
I really need your help. My phone starts to fail during booting and also if boot has problem reading some applications.
I made a hard reset as were explained before, blue screen...
So far so good, but still the some problem, I looks like some files are missing, shortcut invalid and my documents some times stay some no.
I am newbie with this but I think there is a problem with the rom.
thanks.
Have you used WMStorage 1.8, SPB MobileShell2.x or the TomTom Navigator with the phone before?
Until now i have found 4 cases of that behavior with the T32+ (including mine and yours)
I want to know what caused the malfunction. My phone is on the way back to me from china where it was repaired and i dont want it to break down again - so if you have any suspision please share it with me.
Other Software i used:
S2U2, S2P, S2V, and many more...

****, YES !!! S2U2 and S2V,
Tomorrow, I'll send to china. Now the phone doesn't boot. Only shows windows mobile screen (blue). Nothing more
It's good to know which soft we have to avoid.
I didn't use WMStorage 1.8, SPB MobileShell2.x or the TomTom Navigator.
Only used S2UD and S2V.
Thanks for your info and share it!
personally i dont really think that s2u2 is responsible but maybe...
On the other Hand i had the following sw installed:
OmapClock - which failed at 204 MHZ
ActiveGCSync - a Google Calender Sync Application
GooSync - also a Google Calender Sync App
opera_wm5_ppc_865 - Browser
osmtracker
PCMKeyboard
Pointui 1.51a
SetVolume
SkypeForPocketPc
many GPS and Geocaching Apps
i also deleted the launcher startup link and the TouchFlo3D App.
btw: did s2u3 always behave right when you rotated the screen?
Good luck for your phone

Wm 6.1 Issues!

I'm really hating that I downloaded this garbage onto my phone. The keys are a MESS. I've tried to download the fixes but I still can't sync my dash to my pc to even begin to fix it.
I called T-Mobile and their systems are down or something and won't be back up for 24 hours. UGH! I'm never downloaded "the latest" anything ever.
Sorry. I don't mean any disrespect but I can't believe I was foolish enough to blindly ruin my phone.
Does anyone know how I can fix it?
?
What steps did you follow, what ROM did you use?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374890
OH SHOOOT! I'm a jackass!! I disconnected the dash before I did the second install to fix the keyboard.
Is there a way to get that fixed?
not quite sure
what you mean. After you flash the ROM then it goes through a couple of setup stages and reboots. You should then be presented with a working newly flashed rom at your new homescreen. You can then Activesync and copy over the keyboard fix and install it.

Place it on the memory card, then open up Resco File explorer find the file click on it, intall to phone.
Reboot phone.
If predictive txt is on? Open up messaging in the input text box press FN+space click abc as this will turn off predictive txt.
Glad you got it synced.

Is your Dash still synching. Mine did once or twice but cannot get it to synch again.

[Q] Help.Galaxy Gio don't receive sms

Hi @ all.
I'm a newbie and I hope to find a solution for my problem.
let me explain it:I've got a Galaxy Gio,rooted,with a CM 7.2 based Rom.
Sometimes I can't receive any messages from my contacts though I can still send!
I've found a way to fix it putting the sim card from the galaxy to my old phone (nokia 2330),switching it on and waiting for the incoming messages (the same that don't come on the smartphone) and then putting the sim card back on Samsung. (I might consider it as a reset)
It's not a convenient and practical solution,so I would like to know if someone either's got my same problems and if there's a way to fix in a more comfortable way!
Thank you
