How can I change Dopod 838 to Bootloader mode?
How can I dump out the ROM of Dopod 838? Which file utilities should I use? What are the steps to use?
Regards,
Victor
Hi there, i am no expert at all when it comes to getting the ROM i'm hoping there will be some tools shortly but if what you want is the Extended_Rom then install total commander get it from www.ghisler.com then just type in the folder name Extended_Rom and the directory listing will appear.
.
I tried to attached my Extended_Rom because i am interested to know if you have any different cab files to me as i'm looking for an Optus configuration cab, but file attachment was not successful
i'm using the latest qtek rom but am unable to reomove the second splash screen that shows the windows mobile. managed to changed the first one containin the qtek logo though using buzz's programme.
is there any way to get rid of the windows mobile splash?
Sure, no problem !
Just find any picture (jpg, bmp,gif).
Resize it to 480/640
Convert it with a graphics program (such as irfanview) to a .png file.
Rename this file to welcomehead.192
Copy that file to your /windows directory on the ppc
Softreset.
Voilà. You're done.
Cheers

actually, the picture needs to be 640x640 because it will be used both in Portrait and Landscape mode.
do you guys have the original welcomehead.192? i sorta deleted it without making a backup. would appreciate any help on this.
you cannot delete it, it is in ROM. As soon as you delete your own creation, the original file will magically reappear.
oh i see. thanks a lot for the input. managed to get it back to mess with it some more
Can I rip the original Qtek splash, so I can take it as welcomehead.192?

or the real question is .. how to change Prophet booting Splash Screen with our own images ... I can see the guys from Wizard section doing it for their Wizard ... but i'm not sure it can be done with prophet too coz the setting is different...
i only know how to change the 2nd boot screen not the 1st. for the 2nd you install the welcomehead.96 cab from buzzdev.net and you create a 240x320 PNG file and name it as welcomehead.96.PNG and use resco file explorer to replace the file as if you use WM5 explorer an error will come out because the file is hidden and protected.
Hi, i'm a proud owner of a universal (qtek9000) i'm looking for the software "cyberion voice commander" (non speed dial) italian language, unfortunately does not exist an italian commercial version of this software(otherwise I would buy it ).
I've an italian Eten rom (.exe) that have this program in extended rom, someone can help me to extract this program without install the rom (I haven't an eten )
Thank you...
From memory (it's been a long time since I did this, so it might all be wrong), for the Eten roms, run the installer, and it'll extract to a temp\ folder (use a file i/o tracker, or check your temporary files folder for which folder).
In there, I think you should find one file that is marked something like extended or something, and that can be opened with a standard virtual disk editor like winimage. Extract from FAT.

as i read in eten-user forum I've initially extract " EUU.exe", "USBDLUpdate_console.exe", "upgrade.bat" i think that upgrade.bat is really the rom and maybe contains the extended rom.
Now what do you suggest me to extract the program from this .bat
thanks a lot :wink:
What rom are you working on? Do you have a copy we can have a look at?
Thanks!

rom 215 Ita for Eten M600 , maybe in eten ppc there isn't an extended rom...
You have pm with the link to the rom...
Another ppc that have a rom with voice commander in rom is asus p505...
Thanks again...
Hello.. So, did you find the way to extract voicecommander from the rom??
I have the rom file (temp.dat 59.611.764 byte)
If someone needs it, please tell me that I'm going to share it!!
Thanks
I have ROM 230wwe for the eten m600 if you need it...I would like to know also how to extract this EXTROM.
Thanks
Does anyone know a way to extract files from an eten rom dupm (temp.dat file used in the flashing process) ?

Given that crossbow is now floating around out there I was wondering if its possible to cook your own ROM for the Herald? I would happily start researching cooking ROMS etc. if it is. Or are we faced with a situation similar to that of the hermes where we need to find a bootloader that allows the flashing of unsigned code?
Hi,
i think the Problem is that Herald is not so popular as the Wizard and Prophet by now....
Let´s ait and see when someone is getting this nice one unlocked !
you are in the same situation as the Hermes.
AFAIK all devices using NBH for rom upgrades, need the upgrade file to be signed, otherwise bootloader won't flash it.

thanks for the answer (not the one i was looking for though!), i noticed in your hermes thread that you managed to get your hands on the bootloader from a pre production hermes. has this helped? should i be looking for the equivelent for the herald?
It helped because it has the commands to flash unsigned code... i don't know if preproduction bootloaders in Herald will have the same "feature", but it may be handy if you can get one too
I can try looking but i wouldnt know where to start! any advice would be appreciated.
Bootloader of Herald is similar to that of prophet and wizard.The only differrence now is the nbh format.One needs to check if awizard work or not?Then we canthink of debranding.I am working on the Bootloader of herald.Will post everything in Wiki.Pls wait for some time

Thanks to aWizard v 1.3 beta2 and POF for making NBH extract..
I was able to flash my herald from 1.7 dopod asia to new HTC 1.8 without changing/touching IPL/SPL.Here is how to do :
1)Use POF's NBH extract and extract the ROM parts.
2) Copy the OS.nb to awizard ROM folder and rename it to.nba
3) From the Lib folder of awizard, transfer enable rapi and certsps cabs to yr device and install them.
4)Now run the batch file and select "e" to enable rapi.
5) Then you can directly choose the option "w".This will give you the option to choose the ROM u want.Select and wait till awizard finishes.
One can also back up the Extended ROM, Splash image, bootloader, Radio and OS ROM with awizard.
It is very interesting that the size of the .nb file extracted from NBH file and the size of the wizard ROM(80040000.nb) is exactly same.
I tried to put crossbow image into it..but I clouldn't boot the herald.The boot screen showed "OS 10.1.00.88
So if some one can extract the things from both the .nbs we can think of having crossbow in herald..and I think POF can do it.
I hope, this helps the members to upgrade and play with their toys.
You Rock
Finally !!!! Did it. followed the instructions and wallaa finally dutch rom Bye bye bye and Hello English Rom.
Thanx Guys you rock
Look'n forward to crossbow soon.
Very nice discovery hdubli!!
Unfortunately I don't have Wizard nor Herald, and I have not much experience in ROM cooking... you should ask the real gurus here if you want to port the Wizard's xbow to Herald.... I saw it was ported to Prophet, but I don't know about the internals of Herald and Wizard enough to say if this can be also done here or not.
Anyway, kudos for your finding!
P.S. You should add this info to the wiki!
well done hdubli, this is serious progress!
I have no experience of ROM cooking, however I have both a Wizard and a Herald, so if I can help in any way just let me know.
Can I update the page pool? I want more free ram I now have 24 mb, nut I really want al least 32mb
Can you help out how to extract my rom, is there any tuttorial? I tried XDA tools but it apears an error.
best regards
1. NBHextract
2. mamaich imgfs tools to extract OS.nb, if it does not work try tadzio's make/prepare imgf with "-hermes" switch.
thanks a lot
i'll try to get the portuguese rom for xda
best regards

looking for a bit of guidence here
i have the herald 1.8 ROM as .nba (taken from device using awizard)
and i have the wizard OS I want to use as .nb (extracted using typho5)
now my understanding here is i need to extract the herald drivers from the herald OS and replace the wizard drivers in the wizard OS, rebuild the OS.nba and write it to the herald using awizard. Am i heading along the right lines or am i way off? any help would be appreciated.
i really don;t know but if you have a rom with more ram I would like to have it lol

I do the same thing as you did, tried to put crossbow image into it, and it boot up and freeze at the start screen, so now I have the problem, how to put the old OS back?
I have back up the OS ROM, but my machine can only boot into the tri-color screen, how did you do on your machine, please tell, it will hellp me out.
Thanks
