HELP I need help converting back to Windows CE

HELP ME PLEASE !!!!!!
I downloaded the XDA special edition ROM but I want to convert back to Windows CE or Windows 2002.
I am new with one of these and have absolutly no idea what I am doing.
Can anyone help me.
I made a huge mistake and hopefully someone out there can help me fix it.
Thank you!!

XDA Developers ROM is a PPC2002 OS ... what's wrong with it ?
or you mean you want your old original ROM ?

I would like my old original ROM...

O, man!
How could you! SER v1.2 is the best 2002 ROM ever produced! You just ignore or erase things you don't need!
What exactly you do not like about it?
Colors? There are tons of software to change it, most of it have very useful functions (WisBar)!
Programs running on StartUp? \Windows\Startup and erase the link!
Equipement? Lots of freeware included in the very ROM - the best way to save memory - my system now takes 3.8Mb, the rest is FREE!
+ Tweakers
+ No SIM lock
+ Useful stuff I had to pay for is now included for free (freeware alternatives of progs I used - Calculator, Browsers...)
+ SIM Toolkit, Players, Messagers, Launchers, Stopwatch, Personal Ringtones...
Conclusion: the only way to make me leave this ROM is to produce WM2003-based one!
Think twice before you do so!

ok, but we wait for one for XDAII too!!

A way to make Extended_ROM writable any time !

Hi!
HTC when designed Magician layout make a disputable decission to make 20Mb of flash, which can be potentially easy used to store data as Flashdisk, hidden and read-only. I think it was made only for dumb users and marketing purposes.
They leave only 7,60 meg to read/write flash disk (\Storage folder), but it was vey easy for HTC to make no ExtRom at all, but made flash-disk size as big, as 28 megabytes.

not so easy as in firsh sight
further investigations shown that \Storage file system is not FAT but some kind of proprietary fs (i think optimized for flash mem r/w)
and no format function available
continue investigations...

i wish u could find a way.............

YES! I DO IT!
After changin some bytes in OS ROM i have no ExtROM at all,
but I have \Storage writable card which size was 7,6Mb in original Magician, but now it's size is as big as 26,72Mb !
Fully readable/writable.
No more needs for making own ExtROMs

Great Job!!! I was searching for a while if this was possible. Is it safe? Could you provide a step by step on how to do this. Thanks in advance.

I need to perform additional testings to make sure that my method is safe
and write useful program.
but for now all looks like is correct.

So great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW!! this is sweet if it works!! no more messing with KB files to get better space!
My hopes r raced!!

anasky, great work!!!!!

You are going to even write a program for us to make it easy. Great job and thanks. If there are former IPAQ owners this new storage space is similar to the IPAQ file store space.
Just wondering, with this little hack, would we just remove the extended rom file when doing future upgrades? Since the extended rom is visible anyways, i am sure someone can post the extended rom files on the ftp when upgrades are available.

hi, great job....
please tell us how you did it !

ps.
sorry, my english is very bad

Great work!

Просто нет слов! Можно получить инструкцию по мылу? Очень хоцца попробовать

Very Nice
Can't wait to know the steps
Keep on the hard work :wink:

excellent work we ll wait to see it in action to ours ppc's!!!
thank you

[Universal] Extended ROM unlocker !!!!!!!

YES YES YES
!!i just made extended ROM unlocker for Universal!!
THIS TOOL IS DEDICATED TO MWANG
get it here
Please test it and let me know...
It is very early release, so it does only unlock.
Later, i'll add also locking.
For unhiding Extended ROM i just need to create cab file.
Otherwise it's ready as well... Meanwhile you can display your extended ROM using TotalCommander for CE.
How to unlock:
Just copy it to your device and run it..

Buzz! you da man!
Errrm, what does this actually mean in my ignorance? Unlocking the Rom?

on hardreset, all customisations are run from Extended_ROM.
By default it is locked for writing with a password.
That means, you cannot add or remove programs, which are autoinstalled on coldinit.
Now you can.

buzz

Thank you very much....
Buzz,
Thanks for working on this. I realize that a lot of people are looking forward to "freeing" up memory by deleting the extended ROM (i.e. Big Storage). I'm one of them. Here's my question: Does this allow you to delete the files in EXT ROM? If so, are they PERMANENTLY deleted? Or can I "restore" them by reflashing my ROM from the ROM Image provided from imate's website? Sorry for the newbie questions.

Unlocking Extended ROM allows you to delete or add files into Extended ROM.
Files are permanently deleted or added.
Once you flash the device with new ROM, which contains ms.nbf (Extended ROM image), it's content is then flashed to the Extended ROM. That means there will be new content in there...
This is my first contrib to Universal, Exec, JJ community...
Next step can be the same as i did on Himalaya.
To get more storage space, e.g. remove the Extended ROM partition and make the Storage partition 10MB bigger.
well, if anyone wants that... ))
buzz

would it be safe to assume it works on the Wizard?

Excellent work Buzz! Thanks for answering my questions.

NO.
This will work only on Universal, O2 Exec, Dopod 900, Jasjar Qtek9000 etc...
If you want i can try to make one for Wizard...
buzz

I can see buzz being bought a wizard now too
Is 10Mb what we can expect as an increase in storage?
Too infinity and well beyond!
Hehehehehe

Hi Buzz
Please go for please make one for Wizard as well

Nice
Congratulation with new tool. Now we can delete or copy files of extended ROM, we need to see and use ER as storage therefore unhide application also must be needed
Thanks
:wink:

Unlock JJ.. works like charm..
Thanks for the good work.. really really useful and save lot's of efforts to customize the machine after a complete installtion.
Keep up the good work.

where do i send it to?

Here Buzz

Excuse my lack of expertise, in PC terms is this similar to having a copy of the uninstalled o/s on your harddrive and is only required when you wanted to reinstall your o/s?
If so, would it be possible to empty the rom and only place one cab file which loaded all the required cab from SD? i.e. copy the rom to an SD and then be able to hard reset using the SD to reload the o/s?
How much space does the rom take up?
Regards
Simon

Cool Buzz! he is the man!! But....do i understand if u ru
Yoo Buzzie Buzz
Listen i have an question and a problem..the tool is cool no doubt about that. Now we can exclude some unecessary programs etc.
But my main question is does this remove the Simlock aswell? ?!? ?
Because there are a lot of people who cant use their MDA PRO properly because it has an simlock of T-Mobile......if this does not remove the simlock could you make an program that does...? I think it is now quitte easy cause the ext. rom is an open way.....
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BUZZ and all others.....Help and make an Sim Unlock tool just like you all dit before for the Himalaya etc. etc.

Hi Helmi,
Managed to download the kitchen and the instructions file finally. It's great work from you and the rest of the gang. Really appreciate your efforts to give us the kitchen.
Thank you.

Did anybody read the txt file in the WM6 kitchen? It seems to me that Helmi is very angry at somebody stealing his hard work again. I think that it is SHAMEFULL not to acknowledge the rightful owner of this work and to give credit to him. I, for one am very grateful to Helmi for all his hard work.
Thanks again.

some other place please... other than Rapidshare / Megaupload...
PLEASE

If nothing else, Thanks for everything Helmi, I greatly appreciate all of your hard work! Just remember, this world is full of a%$#holes who don't have any respect for other people's work and dedication. Don't get all worked up about it though. Life is always sweeter once you taste a little salt

Thank you for taking the blue angel to the next generation of life so it should live a long time to come.
what you are upset about with the blue angel community i have not a clue.
but i believe i speak for everybody here.
we thank you from the bottom of are harts for all the hard work you done for the blue angel.
please don't get offended by some jerkoff that will be paid for what he did further down the road of life.
the old saying is, what goes around comes around, so they will get there does of medicine one of these days to come.
Thank you very much,

Look what you had accomplished for me!!!!>>>>>>A happy man with a cooked rom of Mobile 6 on his blue angel!!!

Well hell. Helmi_c your the reason I bought this phone, first your WM5 work now this WM6. Please reconsider things. This is AWESOME work you do.
Finding the BA could be upgraded too WM5 was why I did not go for the smaller screened 8125. Then comes WM6, making it all the better.

Hey, spxc.
I´m really curious about how far can you go with this project. As I assume my Elfin and me are going to be still together for a long time, I wish the best of lucks to you.
GReetings!

yes, ill have to trim down the RAM use of of 2.2, because elfin dosen't have too much RAM and CPU speed, or it might be laggy :/ du know anyone that can support me on this one? as an developer? thanks for your support

Ok, thanks buddy. One more thing... When i'll get a 2.2 upp and running (hopefully) do you wanna help me with some tests?

Absolutely! My Elfin and me were born to be beta testers.

Buena suerte compadre

thanks for all your effort.

My Elfin disassembled itself, so once I get another phone, I'll be glad to help.
Stay ALPHA!

Too weak
Hi,
Is the HTC Elfin not too weak?
I have read Froyo is for a minimum of 700MHz.
