Does anyone know how to copy a file out of the device's ROM? I know this is possible with the ext rom. Is there some utility or trick to unlock the ROM to allow read access of these protected files?
Not that I know of, Im not posotive but even the latest ext_rom unlocker corrupted my ext_rom on the new faria 3.0.0.0 12mg pagepool rom, when some app tried to write to it...
I thought that was the problem that was fixed by the new rom unlocker, i thought i deleted the older one but may have switched them by mistake, im not 100% posotive, So I doubt this would be advisable, as you could easily corrupt it also(unless you like hard resets)
try reading up on rom cooking, it should show you how to break the rom down to its cabs, you'd just need a copy of the rom thats on your handheld.

anyone have an answer?

Hi all,
I've had my S100 for a week now. It came with ROM ver 1.06 (I think) and right on the 1st day I upgraded to 1.11 and finally decided to apply Anansky's Big Storage ROM. All work perfectly even with my Jabra BT800. I've been trying many different 3rd party software. As usual, after installing and deinstalling, my unit became unstable and therefore would like to start from scratch.
In XDA's ftp site there is a Qtek 1.11 Ext ROM zip file. At first I installed all, but I think I could do away with some. Based on the filenames, some are self explanatory but I don't know which ones I can do without. Could someone be kind enough to explain?
Delete_vdisk_shortcut_WWE.sa.CAB What does this do?
Caller_ID_Magician_Generic_WWE_RC13.CAB Selft explanatory
SmartDialing_Magician_Generic_WWE_RC13.CAB I've read in other threads that some don't install this when using sw like MSVoice Commands.
PhonePad_Magician_Generic_WWE_RC12.CAB I think this contains T9 and what else? How can I edit this file to remove unwanted languages other stuff?
CAB-ArcsoftMMS-20022-Magician-Generic-ENU-08Mar05.cab I believe this is essential, right?
CV2.41.386_WWE.CAB No clue. Is it essential?
JMM101257_WWE_1004.CAB No clue. Is it essential?
BTHUSB_PATCH_AKU26.CAB Self explanatory
Version_WWE_111129.sa.CAB What is it for? Is it essential?
And does anyone know of how to delete these .cabs? I hit soft reset before it autoloaded all of those above mentioned .cabs. IS it possible to delete them or at least make them non accessible?

If you have the Anansky ROM installed I don't think you will have the option to install the extended ROM when you do a hard reset, mine doesn't. You have to install the extended ROM seperately. You should have made a backup of your extended ROM before doing the Anansky hack. If you don't have it, maybe you can download it from the XDA ftp site. Remember only install .cab files, don't execute the autorun or you may wipe out your big storage. Even if you install all of the Ext. ROM files, they don't take up much space in the storage area (maybe 1.5 or 2 meg.) depending on your Ext. ROM.
Thanks for the responses but I would like some information from you experts on the following:
1. Which CAB files can I do away with and why?
2. How can I edit the PhonePad.CAB in order to remove unwanted languages? Any special software needed?
The Qtek 1.11 ExtROM found in this forum's FTP site has 9 CAB files. Some of them like the Caller ID is self explanatory, meaning this must definitely be installed if Caller ID is one of the functions one needs.
Ok, everyone who has upgraded their rom to the Qtek 1.6.7.1 rom knows that it has write protection. Is easy for me to say as im asking, but is there anyone who can figure out how to get rid of this. I like the rom itself but i dont want all the stuff it installs. Please someone help out, as i know there are alot of people who would like the same thing.
hi Enervate,
i upgraded but not sure what you mean by write protection.
When i upgraded i reset before it auto installed anything so maybe thats why i'm not with you.
Program mem is lower and the std code message after boot-up is a pain.
otherwise quite stable.
Sorry,
in the extended rom, it has programs that run and auto install each time the phone starts. On version previous to 1.6.x.x you could delete all the programs and amend the extended roms so you could basically make the hard reset install how you wanted.On roms after 1.6.x.x they write protected the exetended rom so you cant delete the files permantely.
good thing is though that Qtek does not install that much.
There is a trick however:
Backup 1.6+ rom
Flash 1.5 rom
Compose your (1.6) Ext ROM
Restore 1.6+ OS and radio ROM
Described in other threads in detail
I'm missing the big storage on magician so much...
I editing my ext rom in rom version 1.1.9.3 (imate) and then upgraded to 1.6.7.1 (qtek) and some of the files in the ExtRom don't install. During the install process after a hard reset it freezes. So i go ahead and downgrade, remove that file from the ExtRom and then upgrade again, then another cab from the ext rom freezes during install. What gives?
Hi,
Installed the knew imate rom on my K-Jam. All good except for the fact that I no longer have write access to the Extended_Rom so I can't delete uncessary crap.
Been searching the forums but don't really seem to be able to find a solution, is there one?
if you tried 'search'you would have known allready that until now the 1.6+ ExtROM's cannot be modified.
You could help buzz_lightyear in finding a solution by sending him / posting a dump of the bootloader (IPL) and an export of the HKLM part of your registry. Plz supply the version # of the rom and bootloader
actually you can!!
well I should explain... I have 2.16.9.1 WWE and before my last hard reset I installed the the unlock utility for the extended rom. Unfortunately I moved the cab file to the unit and installed it so I lost it. IDK if there is a different version available but the one I did install has the same name as this one which is not working for me right now after the hard reset.
Make a long story short I was able to delete and add files to the Ext Rom with 2.16.9.1 but now I can't seem to get it working as I probably can't find the correct version of this file:
Unlock Ext Rom Wizard.cab
ethorn: Are you sure the files were actually being deleted. I tried running that util and deleting, I found it deleted it from being listed but the file is still there.
hi i have been looking through this formu but cannot really find what i am after. sorry in advance but if it was covered in other threads please give links.
i would like to upgrade my rom (current i am using pre-installed tmobile mda pro rom) to something batter. the problem is there is so many things in this forum that makes me conufused.
Is it possible (probably it is- but how) to upgrade my ROM by creating my own ROM eg take the best radio rom and extended rom with the stuff i want eg some application i am using right now - instead of normal keyboard get resco keyboard and instead of file explorer get resco explorer and so on and on and put them to the extended rom .
is there any soft to do it ? can someone provide me with links where i can find out something more about ROM cos wiki isnt really helpful and seems to be out of date.
any help wanted !
cheers, cudo
ps. or put tomtom to the extRom...rom that would feauture all the good stuff.
what a pity nobady is willing to help me..maybe u vac just point me to some accurate threads within this forum, if ther are some.
cheers, cudo
To put another Radio ROM in is trivial.
Take out the other two (ExtROM and OS) ROM images and just flash in the Radio file. I did this and didn't even need a hard reset.
To put TomTom into your ExtROM is easy too.
Once you have done your hard reset with your new ROM images and the ExtROM has loaded, you have 10MB of space that you can reclaim. There are instructions at the top of this forum for unlocking the ExtROM and making it appear as another memory area.
Please use backup software regularly so that you don't have to reflash the unit until the next OS upgrade.
Creating a ROM image is more hard work, and I don't know for sure that all the information is accurate. This is only my understanding of the process.
Install the programs that you want in your ROM to your PDA and make a note of the locations of all files and registry entries that are installed.
Take a recent ROM image and unpack it to your desktop.
Delete the programs that you don't want to install, and then search through the hives for the entries that relate to those programs. Delete those too.
Put the files and registry entries of the programs you are putting into your ROM into their post-installed locations.
Rebuild the ROM image.
Flash it in.
Hopefully this won't break your PDA if you get it wrong, I'm guessing that this is very much a trial and error process.
I haven't tried this.
Use this information at your own risk, it could break your PDA.
how do i separate the rom images from each other..i mean radio, os and extended roms ? when i unzip the UNI_TMUK_130114_130232_11003_WWE_BL101_Ship i am getting loads of files but cannot see the right ones.
cheers, cudo
I am interested in any possible solutions to my problems. I would like to be able to 'reflash' an HTC Artemis or XDA Orbit device (From the SD Card) with a modified NBH file (mods to the extended ROM section). Has anyone been able to figure out...
1) How do you reflash an Artemis device from the SD Card (if possible - I assume it is)
and
2) Is there any way of modifying the extended ROM section of the NBH file. Can you for example, extract the Ext ROM section using the NBH Extract utility posted on the site - modify it, recompile all parts back into NBH and then reflash device (from SD preferably, although via activesync better than nothing). I expect it will require a modified bootloader and possibly a Super CID device.
Many Thanks to anyone that can help.
no need of flashing etc.! simply edit it:

Thats OK if you only want to modify one device. Not so great if you want to change 100 say. Flashing from the SD card is the way forward there.
