I have to end up doing a forced soft reset which suddenly turns into a hard reset then I'm back to square one.

I've read through as much of the postings here as possible but maybe this is an isolated issue.

Anyone have suggestions?
Pistol, sounds like you need to flash back to the "shipped" rom from Telus, and then flash Calcu's rom. This is very common and most of us do this regularly. Should take care of your issues ...

edit ... looks like someone already gave you some good advice.

BTW, I've been using Calkulin's kitchen v4.6.4a (21501) on telus's update radio rom 1.04.05V and I haven not had any major issues as of yet, seems stable, will upgrade to a newer rom version once more kinks have been worked out

Re: Skipping first boot (stylus calibration) wizard

So, are you familiar with the method of skipping the first boot wizard? (of course you are)

You can (or rather, could) use an oem rgu entry like the following to completely skip past the first boot wizard and pre-calibrate your stylus:

Code:
 
;Skip Welcome Screen
;=============================================================
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Welcome]
  "Disable"=dword:FFFFFFFF

;Stylus Calibration
;=============================================================
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH]
  "CalibrationData"="1982,1990 3121,3047 3123,951 852,955 862,3025"
In prior versions of your kitchen, I could get this to work by going into the various rgu's and provxml's and making sure there weren't any conflicting settings.

The advantage is that you don't have to do anything on first boot, the PPC goes right into User Customization ... if you flash a bunch, stopping to calibrate the stylus is a pita and with the right registry settings (above) completely un-necessary.

One thing that prevents this method of skipping the first boot wizard is to include the welcome application as a startup item in initflashfiles.dat. So another thing that has to be done is to edit that file to remove the following line:

Code:
Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("Welcome.lnk","\Windows\welcome.lnk")
So, I tried to use my OEM and I couldn't skip the first boot wizard. Then, I tried to delete the above line from initflashfiles.dat and User Customization will run, but after reboot, the phone never comes out of the wait-cursor.

Ultimately, my question; what I am wondering is - have you done any investigation to determine why preventing the welcome application from running at first boot is causing the behavior I have experienced?

Best regards,

where is this in the 4.7 RC kitchen? I am using 21043 version, and I can't seem to find this entry anywhere, let alone the file Welcome.lnk.

I am going to give this a try -- I will keep you posted on my results.

It is a hidden file located here:

Code:
 
\OEM\OEM_Lang_0409\initflashfiles.dat
Here is the thread where I discuss more detail around skipping the first boot (calibration, etc.) wizard:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=52033

Remember, before you try this, get your calibration settings from your registry.

... and so the point of the OEM is to pre-seed the values in the registry (via the kitchen) so that you don't have to go through any of the first boot wizard shenanigans. All it is doing is setting a few registry entries. Once you know what they should be, create the oem and build it into your rom.
