MDA Compact Extended ROM: commented file listing? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi!
Is there a detailed explanation about what all the files in the extended ROM actually are/do?
I wouldn't want to install something that re-does the branding by accident...

I don't think there is one for the Magician.
this is for Himalaya 1.72 :

Dopod 818 Pro - need a complete rom dump or Shipping WWE rom

When changing from CHT to English I made a mistake and dumped the Charmer Rom Update... (by mistake.. wrong identification...)as a result the Extended rom stays the Chrmer and I can't get rid of it. I could not find a way to modify the extended rom can only "see" , can't modify it.
Could one of the 818pro wwe owners dump his complete rom (sd version) and upload it to the site?, Is there already a "shipped rom" version?
There is a copy in xda-dev ftp site at
/Uploads/818Pro_WWEOS/
Is your unit a Dopod? Anyway, I've tried to FLASH my MDA Compact 2 with a Dopod ROM and my camera stops working. Just take note of that.
There seems to a way to unlock (replace/modify) the Ext Rom.

Dopod 818 pro and MDA compact II
Thanks hanmin for your prompt reply...
1. The MDA compact II is not the same H/W as the 818 pro. Your camera did not work becase the 818 pro has a defrent Camera 2.0 MPixels while the Compact II is only 1.3MPixels.
2. I tried all methods mentioned here and NADA... I can unhide the Extended Rom but I can't modify/get rid of the exsiting content (which has been originated by mistake when I RRUed it with the Charmer (MDA Compact II) files.
3. The 818pro on the FTP is missing the Extended rom NK/NBA files.. and I can't over write the rom because it is locked for writing. A shipping rom could help, because probably I can use the rom editing tools to set it up.
I wish there is a way to write back the extended rom files into the machine with the awizard utility (it is great.. but this function is mssing for my case...).
Still looking for a flash rom to clean my "dirty" T-mobile charmer extended rom on my 818 Pro..
Right now I stop the Extended rom update and built an ExtRom on my SD card using the files that are in the FTP.. however for future sake and for the simplisity of Hard Reset in the future I would like to have a complete Image of the Extended Rom.

Comparison between imate Jamin ROM and QTEK S200 ROM

Hi There, Wondering if any of you have done a comprehensive comparison between the 2 ROMS to share with the rest. From my understanding, the newest ROM for imate is as follows (Both WWE ROMS) (If i'm not mistaken) :-
imate Jamin WWE - Released 08 April 2006
OS ROM : 2.13.9.23
EXTRom : 2.13.9.123
Radio ROM : 02.20.21
QTEK Jamin WWE - Released 29 Mar 2006
OS ROM : 2.9.7.24
EXTRom : 2.9.7.126
Radio ROM : 02.07.20
I've not tried the newest Jamin ROM and whatever comparison you guys have done, it'd be great to know of your experiences.
I've tried the previous imate ROM and i've found the QTEK ROM quicker than the imate one. QTEK ROM has less add-on software like skype etc., but other than that, i'm not sure how else we can compare it. Can anyone else who has tried both shed some light on this topic? Is the new imate ROM better than the previous? Thanks!
This would also interest me so much. From what i've heard so far is that the qtek s200 rom is faster than imate rom. Could somebody pleas give us more details on this and maybe, why.
thanks.

I've actually tried both. It is somewhat true. QTEK ROM is zippier. However, i found that memory leaks were more rampant on the QTEK ROM. imate is a little more stable IMO. I'm not sure why. I'm currently using the latest i-mate ROM and because its released later, somehow it 'feels' better. I bypassed the software i did not want though (skype, backgammon etc.)
Any other thoughts?
True
I tried both the Qtek and the Jammin rom. I also found that the Qtek was faster however, the memory leak situation was worse than the Jammin.
I do have one problem however. I have a 2 --> 1 sim card adapter and on the original ROM I was able to use it fine, but I have been having problems with the Newer Roms. Has anyone else encountered this problem or is my adapter shot?
Cheers.

As far as i know, yes.
My Qtek was shipped with mentioned WWE ROM (2.9.7./2.9.7.106). It was unstable and slow... After a week of use... Damn!
Now I am on Dopod's WWE 2.15.13.27/2.15.13.121, and feel good, no-more-stupid-soft-resets, feeling much faster and very stable.
If you have some good and stable ROM, I suggest not to change to this one...
i think the same !!!
the new Dopod ROM is the best
here the link :

Wrong... The second referencied file has all you need to upgrade, incluning images and NoVendor update utility on place. Just download, extract, run, follow the screens. And be patiend, there some stops during upgrade, looks like nothing happens and all hungs. Just be patient for 10-15 minutes.
Hi all;
Im agree with J-Walker
Just download the Novender and execute RomUpdateUtility
It works fine on my Qtek S200 but how can I change the language because Im French and English is not my speciality ?
Does it exist another ROM in FR?

Oooops... The ROM is WWE, it means it support locales, but the interface is English only. To get French you need French ROM (it's downgrade, not so easy as go up) or some third-party interface localisation pack.
one question, if i upgrade the rom of my qtek s200 i will lose all my data and installed programs?
Thank you

searching for Proximus ROM for Hermes

Hi All,
I wonder if somebody knows where I can find a rom of Proximus in Belgium.
Hi,
I'm from Belgium also ... why would you like to have that rom? Just install the latest ROM version here available ... I think that's the best ROM you can have ...
Well, I'm also looking for that rom and more specifically for the extrom.
Proximus added some special items in that extrom which I would like to have :
The mobile TV player (and I guess you also need the certificates), a custom version of MMS composer and a cab file which sets all connection settings, etc.
So if anybody has that rom (or ExtRom), please post it here.
Regards,
Bendalf
UP!!
Anybody can HELP with that?
Up I'm really interested in that too...
In fact I want to try upgrade to WM6 but I also want to be able to put the phone back to it's original state.
I don't know if it's really possible cause I have to update all software parts...
The reason is for warranty...
Guys,
Don't know exactly what part of the ext rom you're referring to? I bought a regular Dutch TyTn and have been flashing and reflashing and reflashing again From WM5 to 6 and back again, changing SPL in between and even started a little cooking of my own.
Most of the cooked roms work (very) well, but if you really want to make sure, you need to dump your original rom first before you flash a new one. (read the wiki and all the threads you can find first)
Anyway, I hope you have as much fun as me discovering how to customize your hermes and make it do what you want, how you want it and more important, make it do what you want it to do.
Grtz.
Hi aeroke,
Thank for your answer.
In fact, I'm just waiting to be sure that I can if needed (ie: hardware problem that need warranty) I can restore the phone to the exact original state to avoid any warranty problem.
So tell me if I'm wrong but full original state is:
- original IPL
- original SPL
- original radio rom
- original rom
- original extended rom
For now, I try to find each "original pieces" before upgrading
- for extended rom: I unhide it and simply copy/paste content of "Extended_rom" folder to my computer. Is it the right way ?
- for rom: I find a tutorial on the wiki and I'll follow it this evening, I hope I can do that
- for radio rom, IPL, SPL: for now, I don't know if it's possible to get (by dumping or downloading) the original ones and restore them after
I write all the informations I found in my phone for the original versions, here there are:
HERM200
IPL-1.00
HERM200
SPL-1.04
version ROM: 1.18.256.2
Date ROM: 07/2/06
version Radio: 1.03.03.10
version de Protocole: 32.34.7010.01H
version ROM Extended: 1.18.256.9643
So, as soon I'll be sure that I can roll back to the original state, I'll upgrade to the WM6 schaps version by following the vanx guide.
I found a guide for backing up and restore the TyTN by dumping the ROM just here. But I never found any guide to restore SPL, radio ROM, IPL...
I'll be happy to have any informations about that.
Thank you in advance
Don't worry about the warranty, i bricked my Hermes once (only after that i found out how to do it right ) and it was repaired with no extra costs. So i wouldn't worry to much about it.
Just go ahead and flash that thingy. Btw, the Black Satin (JJ) together with radio 1.47.00.10 works perfectly with Proximus.
Thanks for your response, I'll look about Black Satin.
Just another question, is there any incompatibility with any WM6 and Extended_Rom software provided by Proximus ?
I haven't used any software from Proximus untill now, bought my Hermes with standard WM5 and flipped in my Proximus SIM card. The software you find here on the forums do everything that you can imagine, so there is really no need for special proximus software i guess.
As far as I can tell, the IPLdoesn't change normally, but the SPL does change. Anyway no worries as you can restore your original SPL (I still have the 1.04 somewhere)
The radio rom can always be flashed back with the original duth rom you find here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
This rom also reflashes your IPL and SPL back.
As far as compatibility between the WM6 roms and Proximus soft goes, I don't know, but I can't imagne you need more/other soft than you find available right here.
EDIT: This is only my personal opinion, but I think I tried about al the WM6 roms and find the one from Schaps the most stable one, perhaps not the most graphicaly exciting one, but the most stable one.
Grtz
Settings Proximus
Hi, I'm also on Proximus here in Belgium. Has anyone found an Ext_rom yet from this provider? Or maybe any ideas when they will launch their wm6 version?
I haven't got the settings for proximus. Any help?
Tnx in advance
Hi,
I have one Hermes from their "Proximus Collection" so I have a Proximus Ext ROM on it. I can do a Backup of it and upload it to the xda wiki. (I'll do that this evening if I can).
I don't know if Proximus will provide an upgrade to WM6...
Thanks Genyam for your help.
Can you tell us the rom version you have ?

Would that work with WM6?
I don't know if it works with WM6 but as this is only a set of CAB files, I suppose that they are compatible.
I've already created and uploaded to xda ftp a dump of my ROM.
My infos:
ROM: 1.18.256.2
Date ROM: 07/2/06
Radio: 1.03.03.10
Protocol: 32.34.7010.01H
Extended ROM: 1.18.256.9643
The CID for the Proximus Hermes: QTEK_203
OK thnx, grabbin it right now. Is it French only?
The dump that is already uploaded is for ROM, not Ext_ROM, I'll put my Ext_ROM this evening.
I suppose that it's not french only cause when I hard reset my Hermes it's in Dutch.
yeah thnx i noticed. Np, i'll grab it tonight then.
The Extended Rom is added to this wiki page: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtendedRoms

I would like to keep the original ROM just in case and Vodafone PT doesn't supply it...

the wiki is a good source of information
I am also thinking about trying out one of the WM6 ROMs but would like the option of downgrading to my UK T-Mobile ROM (1.21.110.3) if I need to for any reason. I've had a look through the wiki info and found a page that contains a dump of my current 1.21.110.3 ROM but it states:
Dumped or Modified Roms Available For Your Hermes
NOTE: It is NOT POSSIBLE to flash or replace the ROM on your device with one of these.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So is there anyway to downgrade back to 1.21.110.3 ROM if it's not possible to flash or replace my Vario II using the dump?
If I was to follow this reconstruction guide does that mean I'll be able to flash my device with my original ROM that I dumped from my Vario II?
