Extraction of files from ROM, Jawbreaker in particular - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Have been attempting to extract Jawbreaker from XDAII ROM version 1.72.00WWE using dumprom without success due to the fact every time I run it on my laptop, XP Home edition tells me dumprom has encountered a problem and needs to be closed! Is there some fundamental basic I'm missing here (other than intelligence) with regard to extracting files from ROM?
I have used ROMdump to dump 64MB of ROM to my SD card, just need to be able to extract the files from this using dumprom or so my limited understanding of the procedure tells me. Am I even close?
BTW, have searched for Jawbreaker on this site, found a post by Sheran_G with links to download jawbreaker from an ftp site but the links no longer work. Anyone got Jawbreaker available to download, or better still, instructions on how to extract it myself? Reason I'm asking is my bro recently bought my XDA I off me and I've been putting games onto it for him but he's addicted to Jawbreaker on my XDAII, gotta get it for him so he stops hogging my phone!

windows games are small
my bet is that it's just 1 exe file
and if you just copy that exe file to your computer
and copy it to the device it will run

You are using dumprom tool incorrectly. Here is how it should be run:
dumprom.exe -4 -d C:\Dumped C:\full_path_to_rom_image.nba
You should create "C:\Dumped" directory, files would be extracted there.

Thanks for the replies guys. I tried copying the Jawbreaker exe to my laptop but I get an error mesage saying exe files in ROM cannot be copied. As for using dumprom, I'm afraid I need a little more help! I'm unsure where the program should be run from, XP, the command prompt or from DOS? Thick as two short planks me.

I've attached file.

Hi,
jawbreaker also needs one .dll to run...
So here you have .cab package, which you can install...
Then go to: Start -> Programs -> Games -> Jawbreaker

buzz_lightyear. Your copy of Jawbreaker would not work on XDA1. It is for WM2003SE. My EXE file should work on WM2003 devices. It is an old version taken form Imate PPC 1.72 ROM that does not require additional DLLs.

Oops! Anyone have the CABs contained in Extended Rom?

Oops! I installed Big Storage, but where I thought I'd backed up my cabs... I haven't. Anyone got the cabs for the Magician, or know how I can extract them from a rom file?
I've looked on the FTP, but I can't find any there.

What about the folger \Magician\Extended_Roms ? There are lots of files/folders containing the original ExtRom Cabs for lots of devices.
Or if you got a romdump from your non-bs system; use bal666 tool to extract them. Might even work on an extracted shipped-rom. But first...visit the ftp! As psych0t1c suggests.

Hi,
Can you post link to the program?
Gilbert
I think it will be fair, that we download the programm from the site of the developer.
So you can visit his site and register in the forum. I think he will do many updates of this small goodie, so he need some of our support. If everyone can download the proggie from anywhere else, its possible that he will not put more development power on it.
Think about it :wink:

i have downloaded the software, but have no idea as to what to do with what i have downloaded.
I unpacked the file, amd it is just a bunch of cab files... Unfortunately, I am not sure as to how to proceed from there in order to get the program to work on my Tytn...
Can anyone please help me out? I am new to pocketpc devices in general and don't know my way around yet...

Copy this cab file to your device.
run this cab file like an "EXE File.
Then it installed my App.
thankyou for the quick response... I am going to try this out and then report back
That's a nice tool.
However, I chose to remove the communications manager from the system tray, but now the battery icon is gone too, even though I have not checked that box. And I actually like the battery indicator.
Checking and unchecking the battery indicator checkbox yields no results. Do you have any suggestions?

I also updated the wiki information with fit4cat Hermes Tweaker:

Will you be updating it when we add more registry tweaks to this page like the registryWizard guy does?
hmm... no luck...
I copied it via activesync to my documents folder on the tytn.....
When i open the file i see a bunch of little files that cannot be opened since they are not associated with any programs...
Can you please give me a step by step instruction as to getting this program working? Thanks again!
EDIT: got it! i was unzipping the file before sending it to the ppc, when i should just have sent the file over as it came

Hi Bongouser..
All i had to do was to copy the file over to my documents folder in the pocket pc WITHOUT unzipping it.
I then clicked on the file in the pocketpc and it installed...
I think my problem was that i was looking for an exe file somewhere to click on to install the program..
It works great though!
I do have a question about the sound quality adjustment for the bluetooth headphones...
what is the default setting from the factory for this on the Tytn?? I am just trying to compare the different levels to the standard so that i can decide which I like best.
Thanks!

And what about the Media Hub? It has - among other features - real equaliser for bass boost and treble.
Would anybody so kind to extract it from one of the new HTC devices' ROM?
As far as I know HTC Love and Athena have it in-built.
Thanks in advance!

Please someone extract the media hub from the artemis roms (pdamobiz and others froms)
For ctibor: audiomanager gives you an ipod-like interface for the songs. This mean an interface where you can have yours songs by artist,album,....and a little and very simple player which permits to play the sound chosen.
AudioManager
This is not working at all on my P3300. It does not install properly and just sticks itself into the Windows folder on the device, despite telling it to install on the SD card! Looking at the XML, it does not look like a "proper" install package and there are no reg entries. When you start the program, all you get is a RC Load Failed message and a blank error box!
Lets hope that HTC include a "full" version of Media Hub on the WM6 upgrade ...

Ok.On the archive i attach Audio Manager version 1.2 and a code page language.Once installed the program it needs to rename the file Windows\AudioManager.exe.0409.mui with the code appropriate of the rom lang.
Ex:My rom is ITA-->AudioManager.exe.0410.mui
Simple..

How to flash Original o2 Rom without running branding

Hi,
I want to flash my XDA Orbit with WM6. o2 has the image on their page, but it first installs WM6 and then destroys many things when it tries to put everything to GPRS, so that users pay much money instead of using the built in WLAN.
I read something about flashing and then soft resetting, so that it cannot run the branding tool. The .cab files with the branding tools an Tomtom and some patches are lying then somewhere. Where?
Is this method good?
When do I have to soft-reset?
regards,
Stefan

Just as the unit starts the customisation, directly after the auto-setup routine.

In extended ROM, if you want to take them out, it's possible to cook the same ROM and re-flash it without this part....
If you want to see this stuff, you'll need an application like Total Commander.
Hello,
thank you for the info!
Which version of Total Commander? And why Total Commander? To view cabs? This is possible with WinRar, too. But there are only the installer files and the complete RUU image. I tried TC but I got the same result as with winrar.
Or is the PDA version meant?
I want to use the original ROM from the o2 homepage, just without branding. I have no o2 SIM card, bought it from ebay. And I don't want to unlock it, because of warranty.
regards,
Stefan

You can look in the RUU image for the nbh file (using WinRAR), then break this apart to take out the ExtROM....

Hello again,
I extracted the .nbh file.
"for the nbh file (using WinRAR), then break this apart to take out the ExtROM.."
What to do with it? renaming to .zip or .rar doesn't result in winrar opening it...
It's the german ROM.
I want to flash it as meant and then stop soft-reset when branding wants to start (waiting 3s). And then install only the needed fixes (sd fix, cam fix etc.)

Ah. I assumed you had some cooking tools...you need to run NBHExtract, take out the EXTRom, run Dark Simpson's HTC ROM Tool to re-constitute the ROM and then re-flash. Are you happy about all this, or did you want to stay 'official'?

Do you have a link to the German ROM somewhere? I'll happily do all this and post the file somewhere for you to pick up.
Hi,
I don't want to brick it ;-) If I flash a cooked ROM, I have to cid unlock it before. Is this necessary? The premium Rom looks nice. A german version is not available, or did I miss it?
At xda-zone where they postet this, they wrote that somewhere then lying the .cab or .exe files which are executed then. Is it not posssible to extract them? And then install them manually?
On my request where they are no one answered...
I never cooked a rom or something like that, yet.
I can give you the link, but I think you are unable to get it, because there is a serial check before dl. But you can try.
If you have ICQ, I can send it.
http://member.htc.com/ruudownload/O2Wm6SnCheck.aspx
The cam fix (found it in a forum) leads into the cam working good and the new modes are nice but often there is a message that the cam cannot be initialized. Then soft-reset helps.
Do you have the radio fix? Is TMC possible with it? With Navigon?

Stefan

Well, actually, it's the WM5-only CAB file of the very first version (after that, two Service Packs have been released; the latest can be found at http://www.winmobiletech.com/sekalaiset/CF2SP2/ for both WM5+ and WM2003(SE)). Completely useless on a PPC2k2 device.
CF2, in general, isn't compatible with PPC2k2 at all. There MIGHT be hacks that made it work on WinCE 3.0-based devices but I don't know of any of them.
Thank for all.
For reason, I created 1st "Hello world" in vs2005 and debug & deploy it in to ppc2002 device but vs2005 show alert "Can't not deploy to your device, It not supported"

Try compiling it for CF1.
I know this sounds very rude and I apologize in advance but I just can't stop my self from saying it:
Try using a real programing language
Seriously though, VS 2005 is not a good tool if you want to develop for devices as old as those based on PPC 2002.
It doesn't even recognize the SDK for that platform.
That among other things means you will have to deploy manually and will not be able to use any of the remote tools including the debugger.
Plus, having to install CF 1 is not too pleasant for the users of these devices because it takes up quite a lot of precious RAM memory.
Personally I would recommend using eMbedded Visual C 3 (not 4!) for that particular platform.
If you do not know C/C++ you could try eMbedded VB (comes in same package as EVC 3).
