Hi,
I don't think this is exactly the right forum, but this is the only community I can find interested in hacking PPC roms.
I have a few Dell Axim x30s, X3is, and X50vs.
We're trying to slipstream our custom application that we developed and the .NET compact framework. Basically, I'd like to hack the rom image so that the executable and some other settings we change are on the ROM. I run on a Windows machine, and the utilities that I see available seem to all be linux utilities.
The employees seem to drop these/run out of batteries/etc. They seem to be getting hard reset all of the time, and we don't want to go through the lengthy process of installing our custom software every time.
Any ideas? The dell rom flash utility includes a .IMG file. Is there anywhere where I could find a map with offsets of the image file?
Any help would be extremely helpful.

Guys, Have been searching the site for a couple of weeks now and cant find a solution to my problem.
I work for a company that deals with alot of XDA2 units, so far I have managed to develop a custom extended rom that works fine, but have not been able to find a way to remove links from the start menu and the program menu. seen several threat on the site but no solution. The links have to be removed if a hard reset occurs. At present It has to be done by cloning an image onto the unit (1600 in total)
Any help would be appreciated.

I would love a program which based on a txt file would "delete","rename"... files and/or registry.
Something that could be executed from config.txt
there was a thread about a .bat interpreter but i don't think they got it working.

Hi,
I have been trying the excellent Jwrightmcps WM6 ROM on my Universal and all is well so far, but I want to be able to modify the extended ROM so that when flashing it installs updated versions of Skype, Google Maps, etc as well as add in a few other custom apps.
I have scanned the forums and have come across a stack of links to various tools, but am struggling to make any sense of them all.
I have managed to open up the nk.nbf file using the HTC64 Extended ROM Tool, but cannot find how to open up the nk.fat file - I have tried WinImage, but it doesn't seem to want to play ball with it under Vista.
So what is the next step?
Any pointers would be appreciated.
This is my first shot at doing anything with a Device's ROM so forgive me if I mention something stupid.
Basically what I'm trying to do is add one program to the install process, so when a Device is hard reset it goes back to factory + this one other program that I want to install.
I currently have it as a .cab package and the company I work for has given me an I-Mate K-Jam to learn how to do this, and then adapt it for newer devices. (which I'm sure will be a fun task).
I'm using the guide for creating a new ROM found here: (which is fantastic)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303406/
The only problem is that I have no idea how to tell the package where to put files. The cab I have wants to put files in these directories.
[DestinationDirs]
CopyFiles1=0,"%CE2%"
CopyFiles2=0,"%CE4%"
CopyFiles3=0,"\Temp
If someone could explain this to me, or if there is an easier way to go about doing what I'm doing any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello,
Hoping someone could clear up a couple things for me. At my work we use the mc9090 RFID scanners which run windows mobile 6.1 currently. Currently we use motorola osupdate to push applications in a CAR file once the OS update util flashes the stock rom which are .sig files and .bin files. My question is do i have any chance of dumping the rom and if so would I be able to get it back on the device. Currently i was able to use imgfs tools to dump the os partition into a .raw files but that is as far as i got with dumping. So since they are signed files how would or is it possible for me to get them back on the device? I just didn't want to waste anymore time if i am not going to get anywhere on this. Also not saying that I would be able to use it but is package builder for wm what actually generates the .sig files?
Any ideas about how i could make this work would be awesome or any other ideas. The goal here is for us to have a base wm6.1 with all of our software on it and configured when we image a gun. I am sure motorola would hook us up with microsoft to do this but trying to figure out if anyway i could pull this off internally since we update so much..
thanks

My suggestion is to set up one of your devices with all the setting and configurations exactly the way you want them, and then image that device using a program like Sprite Backup http://www.spritesoftware.com/ It's a tool I use to keep my device secure, since I do a lot of tweaking on it.This way, if any of my adjustments end up breaking it, I can always restore to a configuration that I know works. The same principal should work for what you need.

We tried sprite clone in the beginning and didn't work out right. Some stuff didn't come across right, so not saying i havent learned
enough now to fix that stuff but as far as us implementing it i don't see that happening.
I will give it another look since we have 100 licenses :]
Hi,
I'm looking for a bit of help with this if possible, basically at work, i have to constantly setup a load of HTC P6500 devices all running on windows mobile 6.1.
On each device I have to install certain programs from an sd card and update quite a few system settings.
Is there any way this can be done with a batch file perhaps, that would install all the software and update all the settings I need it to?
"XDA UC" could be what you are looking for, but it needs to be cooked in into WM.
I think there already is such a machanism in WM, but I don't really remember it's name...
.cab
make a .cab which has all the programs and settings.
maybe RunCC is in your ROM...
thanks for the help everyone, managed to get around this using SPB backup trial which let me essentially clone the device, and restore this back to the rest.
