4.01.00 ups and downs or "it's out and free"

Ok people ...
since this one is spreading let's pull up a list of what you can or you cannot get with this one.
Version 4.20.0 (Build 13252)
RSU 6.24.01
The SIM software has a "Built Oct 14 2003" ...
AND YES !!! The Messenger is updated and it's working.
That's the first impresion.

So first step in the kitchen :
remember the params for the 4.00.21 ?
old stuff
wincever=4
start1=81740000
size1=00040000
start2=81c00000
size2=00300000
startbmp=81ec0000
startop=81c00000
that was over 3.4M of free space
NOW @ 4.01.00:
wincever=4
start1=81740000
size1=00040000
start2=81c00000
size2=00300000
startbmp=81ec0000
startop=81c00000
that is IDENTICAL
so ... again some space to fit our little "must have" apps.

Ya, but where do you get it

access info
thanks to ddevilx2 you can go to:
130.39.48.102 port 21
login tmobile password rom

Are there any kitchen's online where we can cook this up?
thanks in advance

obviously not "YET" ... since the only available is Yorch's ... and he's getting married ... you should probably start unsing your linux box or cygwin and set up your own.
it's fun :wink:

BALL & CHAIN :roll:

I've tried to set one up a couple of times to no avail. If someone wants to help me set one up I will host it at my expense. Let me know. I have all the 4.00.x ROMS and would like to make them all available.
BTW, I extracted the nk.nbf file from the exe so you don't have to change radio stacks.

very sweet! thanks decebal & ddevilx2

I tried that ftp site and it likes tmobil okay but not the password rom....any suggestions?

Worked for me 20 min ago

it is exactly as the post says: tmobil/rom
as opposed to t-mobile or T-Mobil/ROM or some such?

got it...its Tmobile/rom for those of you who have yet to try.

UGH. I think I just blew up my T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone. I downloaded the 4.01.00 per this thread and tried installing. During the radio stack upgrade it said "upgrade failed". The windows app came up with a message that said that I could recover from it by removing the usb cable and resetting the device. The upgrade should then recover. It never recovers though - I get as far as "Welcome to T-Mobile Test Only Not For Sale", with the version information showing as:
G
R
4.00.21
Never makes it past that. I tried the hard reset button as well with no luck.
I realize that this is the risk I take, but can anybody help???
Thanks!

Not sure what you can do.
BE WARNED PEOPLE that an .exe install is the RISKIEST way to update your device. Do an SD card method instead.

Can anyone tell me if this ROM (4.01.00) is for 900/1800 MHZ or 900/1900 MHZ devices?
TIA,
Max

All I saw on the FTP server is the exe file, is there a nbf file?

Just open the .exe with winrar or winzip, then you just extract the .nb file or more if you wish. Anyone have a listing of the differences with this ROM?

OK, IVE BEEN HERE
RESET DEVICE, PUT ON CHARGER [NOT CONECTED TO PC, JUST CHARGING], AND JUST LEAVE IT THERE... DONT DO ANYTHING, IT WILL LOAD, AFTER LIKE 30 MINZ OR SO :mrgreen:
WHEN OS LOADS, DELETE THE 4 RS UPGRADE FILES FROM WINDOWS DIR.
THEN IF U WANNA GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY, DECOMPRESS THE 4 FILES FROM THE *.EXE FILE AND MANUALLY PLACE EM BACK TO WINDOWS DIR. ... AND IF NO LUCK, GO WITH ATT STACK, LOW FAILURE RATE (as i am told) 8)

Ok I feel stupid, man that was easy.

Any one else having problems with yorch.net???

Every time I try to cook a 3.17.03 ENG O2-Euro ROM using the SD method the last few days it comes back saying "ROM Creation Error. Click here to see the log.". And when I "click here to see the log" it says the fallowing:</p>
./mkrom.sh: ../../kitchen.local/mkrom-inc.sh: No such file or directoryno files for configid 26220739Cannot fit files in given sectionsError splitting files</p>
Also when I try the .exe method it finishes, and I can download it. But when I run it, there is a "ERROR 007 NO ROM IMAGE FILE" Cannot find the ROM image to upgrade your Pocket PC. Please download and try again.</p>
Any help would be appreciated. Thanx</p>

No problems here making a zipped NK.nb1.
What configuration were you trying to make?

Looks like there is a problem with the operaor Config Data......
Maybe cooking without Autoconfigdata will work fine.
Just try it...

Stefan

pdhenry & LumpiStefan thank you for the replies. I have tried to cook a ROM w/ & w/o auto config. & using .exe & SD methods, and it didn't help. I just tried it again w/o auto config., and got the same error. :?

Hi there,
YEs I'm getting the same problem with the Kitchen.javascript:emoticon(':?:') javascript:emoticon(':idea:')

Hi everybody,
I tried many things to find a solution(w/without firewall, different browser) but so far, I'm getting the same message and the same result.
/mkrom.sh: ../../kitchen.local/mkrom-inc.sh: No such file or directoryno files for configid 26220739Cannot fit files in given sectionsError splitting files
Any others people who got the same message in the past?
Thanks,
:roll: :roll: :roll:

Hi Budney,
HAve you found any solution yet?
Could you tell me what are you using as browser?
Cheers,

Wow. I'm still not having problems. :? Running IE6 on windows XP (don't know what effect the browser would have - sounds like it would be a problem on the kitchen side).
Last night I cooked a vanilla 3.17.03 ROM, this morning a 4.00.16 ROM without problems. I didn't try to download and save them, but mkrom ran and completed normally in both instances.

tiluc - I am still having the same problem with cooking 3.17.03 ROMs. I think pdhenry is right, it's on the kitchen side.
pdhenry - I am running what you are XP & IE6. Were those ROMs you cooked .exe or SD? As the 3.17.03 .exe ROMs will complete, but when I run them I get that 007 ERROR meesage.

They were SD roms, and I didn't try downloading/installing them - just runnng the kitchen until it told me it was finished.

Lucky you. But lucky for me I did get two ROMs completed, they were on the plain side though. Right after I tried the first plain ROM I tried two more ROMs with a lot programs in them, but they both didn't work. I then tried another plain ROM, and it worked. So I would think that it's one of the programs that is messing up the ROMs. :?

That would be consistent with the "no such file or directory" messages you're getting. I guess it'stime for some experimenting... :wink:

I remeber a thread telling that you have to leave a certain amount of memory free when you cooking the ROM, I think it was around 200 KB or so. Try to uncheck some add-on software to keep, let's say 250 KB free (see the info next to green bar) and try again. It should work with any of the ROM versions.

sharkhan - I think you are correct. As I just tried cooking one up & left 250 KB open, and it was successful.

Copy files from ROM ?

Hi,
I'm trying to get around the problem of the quiet sound with the AT&T rom, I have another XDA running the latest T-Mo rom and was hoping to mess around with some dll's from the TMo rom to see if I could sort the problem, but the drivers used for the sound are protected somehow in the rom, so it won't let me copy them to my SD card or PC (which means I can't try it on the AT&T rom)
Is there any way of copying these files out ? and then into the AT&T rom ??
Cheers
Neil

see dumprom

No good for me then, I only have Windows Machines here..

Ok, I have thought of a possible work around, but I need someone with the T-Mobile WM2003 Rom (Pref 4.01.16) & Linux/Unix to copy the wavedev.dll & waveapi.dll from the \Windows folder and send them to me so it can try it out..
I'm sure its not only me that this "feature" annoys. it makes Tomtom especially useless on the voice prompt side of things.
Cheers
Neil

?? I don't see the problem, dumprom is a windows tool.
in case you had not found it yet, I added the link to the binary to the wiki page.

Ah right, excellent.
Sorry I assumed it was the same as the makerom tool which states its unix/linux.
-=edit=- I just tried the link on the dumprom wiki page, and get the dreaded 404 error
Thanks
Neil

oeps. a common wiki error, I forgot to '~'-escape the '~' in the url.

Thanks mate, it seems to be working now
I'll have a play about with it when I get home.
Cheers
Neil

Back again :lol:
The dumprom app crashes (tried on two machines) when I try to execute it. I have tried it with various command line configuations but the little windows xp error box pops up saying that the program must be closed

dumprom crash
Hi Swifty
Yeah I got this too - until I realised that I was the problem. I was omitting the myrom.nb1 filename (or whatever you have called yours) from the command line! D'Oh! What is your exact command line that you use?

it is known to be buggy and crash on certain roms.
I am working on an improved version in perl - dumpxip.pl
but it does not extract files stored as 'xip' yet.

:lol:
Silly me I done the same thing as you and omitted the rom file.. thanks
I have now extracted the AT&T and TMobile roms and compared the files, the AT&T's wavedev.dll is larger in size, I think this is where the modifications were made.. but I can't rebuild the TMo version into the AT&T rom because I don't use linux
Hopefully someone can help me out and we will finally have a perfect WM2003 Rom -=edit=- IF it works :lol: :roll:
Cheers
Neil

Carefull!
i fearbthat just swapping in the new dll may not help... it may have other dependancies that also need changing. The interface / entry points may also have changed and you may need a whole slew of other stuff and some other registry settings too. But pls go ahead and try... let us know!

Neil,
Use CYGWIN it's an excellent "Linux running as a command line in Windows" environment. It's easy to install, start and run commands. It comes up as a DOS box-like interface and Voila! You have Linux, stable, clean and fast, including the ability to build ROMs.

Aplication to patch any Magician ROM to bigStorage ones!!

If you want to patch any ROM like the one of Alex Anansky...
...download my aplicatión and do it now!!
It's so easy... read the instructions in the file "HowTo.txt".
Bye ;-)

Something tells me that something's fishy here.
Some guy from nowhere with only 4 posts comes up with a "breakthrough" utility and doesn't give any explanation but "download my aplicatión[sic]... Bye!"
The attachment's removed now (not by me).

OK... you lose it...
If somebody want's it... Follow this...
http://www.todophonedition.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=4808#4808
It's a spanish site about PhoneEdition PDA's... I moderate the programing forum.
Bye

MKS,
could you explain more on how it works!

I apologize if I sounded harsh, but this site has gone through a lot of problems from individuals repeatedly deleting things off the FTP, spamming or advertising for porn in the threads, and more.
This site needs to be moderated or protected a little better if it's going to thrive. It needs good people with good understanding, patience, and the willingness to share so we can get things that our manufacturers are not providing properly.
So, thank you for the attachment and link as I will test it out shortly.

Now come on, tell us something about you and how you did it. Or did you only find it yourself? If so: where?

So with this i can add and remove any Ext rom i want?
If that so, then its great!! now i can add IIWPO and Ext rom?
Can i?

the strange thing is if i rename any file to rom.nb1 and run the program, it will create a file with the size of 63MB rom file... is that normal MKS?

Just remember that the NB1 file will have to be 64MB since your Magician/JAM's ROM size is 64MB and it will SD-flash everything, from the CE portion to the Radio to the Extended ROM and Storage area.

Oh! it is necessary to obtain a Microsoft Certificate to upLoad some aplicatións here? :lol:
OK... I do not send many mensages in this forum... but I have been reading it for a long time... watch my date of registry. :wink:
Well, first... The size of the file is correct. Magician ROM does not occupy exactly 64Mb.
When you download the ROM to one 64Mb SD card, a few bytes at the end are single to fill the SD size. But these bytes are not necessary.
The ROM really finishes in the string "HTCE" before arriving at the 64 Mb.
I have trimmed the resulting file to do it easier to handle.
OK...This is everything at the moment. This weekend I have much work... In the next week I tell more to you.
It is possible that I even sends the source code to you too :wink:
Bye.

thanx alot for the HOWTO-method on "bigStorage" 8)

you have compared between original nb1 and the hacked one then you figured out the Anansky's code

Yes, something similar to that... But it's not so simple. I need some info from the xdaDevelopers WIKI's too. And a lot of tests over my Magician with diferent ROM versions & languages.
Probably in the next week I will upload the source code.
Bye :wink: .

Great job dude :wink:
I'm downloading the file now... and I can't wait to create my own BIG-Storage ROM

Hi MKS,
I tried yr program on my Imate w/ Traditional Chinese "Dopod818_1110_153_11100_Ship" Rom and it doesn't work.
Steps that I did
1. Back up the Dopod TC rom to my 256mb SD using romupdate.exe w/ d2s command
2. use ntrw to write the rom on my hd
3. using yr program to modify the rom
4. write the modified rom back to the SD
5. The Jam report Section = 1 error and doesn't start the flash
6. Therefore, I copy the first 416 byte from the original Dodpod TC to the modified rom
7. The Jam start flashing. But after it reach 100%, it report download error and checksum error.
Now, I need to roll back to my original rom.......
Rgds,
Jack

Has anyone successfully used this to make a bigstorage ROM?

im having trouble backing up my original rom. after the the check sum ok part i took the sd card out of the phone and into a card reader. i run the ntrw read backup.nb1 f: and it gave me an error. it says "cyclic redundancy check" i see that on drive see it has created a file called backup.nb1 but it is 0 bytes. does anyone know what im doing wrong?

Extended ROM of Jasjar

Did anyone make visualble the Extended ROM of Jasjar?
I can't do that yet!

Hi...
I don't think that JasJar have an extended ROM,since it's got Magneto as the original operating system...This means that it uses the ROM chips for 2 purposesperating system,and the rest as storage since it's got persistent memory...
Am using Magneto on my Himalaya since the beginning,and never had an extended ROM...unlike SE I used to have on my device...
RAGO :lol:

Hi!
Thanks, i also have been used Himalaya with WM5.0. but it has Extende ROM, and i accessed.
And Jasjar, after hard reset, the installation of cabs files can be seen.
So think it has,but not sure....
those installation CABs were not in the visualble rom. i hope it exist.
i want to teke the MMS client from Jasjar for my Himalaya!

Hi Asukal...
Do u mean u have ms_.nbf on Himalaya running Magneto,or u mean by extended ROM the 15 MB that became storage now..?
Concerning the installation of cab files on JasJar,do u think it's the 2577 folder method that M$ use,or u think that it has an extended ROM that u can install by flashing like ms_.nbf...?
Then probably ur right...and JasJar have extended ROM hidden out there in ROM,that runs the cabs after hard reset... :?
RAGO :lol:

Ok, so if you see the installs start after a hard reset, can you soft-reset before it kicks in and avoid the operator-spam programs being installed? Or is there anything vital in there which means you have to take the branding?
Joe

Thanks, i did it already, and tried to use many version of Extended ROM unlocker (including Himalaya WM5 i used before)
But any of them were no effect!

based on HTC Universal WIKI (by itsme) their is 10MB in Universal for Extended_ROM ..
can you export your Registry please and if possible make a full rom backup using this command
d2s 70000000 08000000
or just the extended_rom
d2s 74100000 00a00000
and upload it in the ftp please ..
tnx ..
-toe

or how about
changing the value of MountHidden to 0 found in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
then soft reset
im very much interest on Arcsoft MMS Composer v3.0.0.25 ..
-toe

Hello, seeing on a previous post, someone said the Storage available was 42 Megs!
Can you confirm?!?
blue angel has 60 Megs (When Ext Rom is deleted)
...
Btw the EXT ROM cab files from the JasJar would probably be very useful for Himalayas and Blue Angels!

put the device in cradle then go to bootloader .. light + power + reset
run mtty.exe/romupdate.exe and choose USB or ..\\WCEUSBSH001
then make the d2s command

How should i do??

A little bit off topic, sorry :lol:
I read in some forum that you could not change the OS language in Jasjar, while other specifications indicate you can
Can anyone tell me if you can change the OS language fro say German to English (and how)?
Thanks :wink:

Change OS language, originaly, Mr, mamaich teached me how!
You can found his letter for me in english.
Please see the lower side of following page,
you can find engilish

Good luck!

i could see ExtROm with Total Comander<Mr,Mamaich told me this way.
But i couldnt copy to any other folder yet, even change attributes.
for your refference. i think not so many cabs and not interesting one.
But need MMS client!

The first megabyte at 0x0 is mapped through the MMU http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Technical
and should be dumped properly.
It is also possible to use the haret.exe from
http://sdgsystems.com/pub/ipaq/hx4700/starterkit/20050611/
as a ROM/RAM dumper.
HaRET will tell a lot of other useful information:
where the video framebuffer is located and show the MMU page table.

Thanks so much!
But i already got the all cab files from Extended Rom last night (GMT +8)
and tried to upload many times, but ccould not yet!
I will try later from my office after three hours!
I couldnt find MMS client in them.
I saw it was on the rom but not on extended rom.
Also MMS client was not by a CAB files, we must pick up from dumped rom files.......
thanks!
