Any brave soul try using mkrom in conjucntion with the 2003 ROM? I think I might give it a shot here in a bit but wanted to know if anybody had tried it yet...
I've managed to build a 2003 ROM. It's extremely tricky though. I'm working on customizing a ROM similar to the XDA Developers SER - as soon as I get some free time
I'd like to acknowledge all the help given to me by Developer Itsme in this endeavor.
Let me know any suggestions you may have for the new ROM.
sheran_g,
i didn't know u could use mkrom with 2003 rom image. can u please post how u did it? i created a special version based on SE 1.1 rom but would like to put the same programs into the new rom. any help is appreciated.
thanks

What's tricky about it...?
The modified registry file you make does not get picked up at the device startup. You need to manually inject the memory address of the modified registry file into the ROM in order for it to get picked up.
my latest romtools can be found at romtools
now it calls dumprom to find and fix the filedata offsets.
I think they should now build 2003 roms.
sheran_g,
can u post the steps that u take to buid it? i'm trying right now and its not working. i'm having little problems. can u post ur default.reg and initobj.txt? any other help is apreciated.
thanks
alex
Ok. Here they are in a nutshell:
Get the latest romtools.
Make the following dirs: romfiles, cfg, tmp, out, files, files1, files2
Split the ROM into Bootloader, bootimage, OS image, xipchain into the 'cfg' dir.
Dump the files in the OS image into a 'romfiles' dir.
Get the default registry file, initobj & initdb files into your 'cfg' dir.
Make changes to your default.reg and initobj.txt
Place any files you want loaded in the ROM into the 'files' dir.
Run 'mkrom.sh'
You should then have your new ROM. I'm sorry if it's extremely brief; you'll have to make do with this and the README file in the romtools archive file for now. You'll find my default.reg and initobj.txt files on my site: www.zensay.com/qtek/mkrom
sheran_g,
Have you created a decent working custom WM2003 ROM?
If so what Apps have you added?
How much ROM space does it use?
I've not added any apps to my ROM. I have only added a carrier logo file and made some changes to the registry. So I cannot comment on ROM space yet. The ROM works fine.
sheran_g,
what command did u use to extract rom files? did u do it under windows or unix?
I'm having problems trying to dump the rom image. I don't know if its too much to ask, but can u zip ur directory and post it somewhere so i can download it? or if u can post commands that u ran to dump the 2003 rom?
thanks

Hi,
could you include "O2 home zune" to the 2003 image, like in the 2002 3.19 GER. Its for Germany interested only!
AR :?:
home zone depends on specific 3.19 rilgsm features. which are not in 4.*
okay, used dumprom -4 -d files -q nk.nbf and extracted all files. Got could not find pointer for ofs 00000000 ERROR but all the files seem to be there. Trying to figure this out. Saw the above abreviated directions but am fumbling around. Anyone have concise directions?
Val
Anyone? Just give me a good hint then please.
Hi all!
When i overwrite the rilgsm.dll file in the t-mobile 4.0.10 image with the rilgsm.dll from the O2 GER 3.19 image, i could use the "O2 home zone" option with the hz.exe in Starup directory? rilgsm.dll from german image hes 'at+creg=2' string in it. probably the RIL_GetCellTowerInfo call is now implemented. When it can work, how could i write the german rilgsm.dll to the image? I haven't linux, could somebody cook the image for me?
here is the germen rilgsm.dll and the hz.exe for the "home zone" funktion! http://www.nokiaprog.de/XDA/home_zone.zip
THX
PS: Sorry, my english! ;-)
AR
the homezone enabled rilgsm.dll depends on other dll's and exe's.
probably ril.dll, stk.exe, cell*.dll and maybe more, I have not tried
replacing all.
you don't need to build a new rom in order to experiment with this, you
can just copy the desired files to \windows, to override the rom versions.
And I don't think it works with the RIL_GetCellTowerInfo call,
but adds some notification events.
to change the CREG setting you need to call RIL_DevSpecific with parameter 25 ( to turn it on ) or 26 ( to turn it off )
even though that does not seem to be how hz.exe does it.
Hi,
I opened the image file in the Hex editor and renamed the file there rilgsm.dll. Then I flashed the image, which was phone probably deactivated, because rilgsm.dll was missing. Then I copied over ActiveSync the German rilgsm.dll into the Windows directory, XDA reset and he not accept the file. I assume because the file was not in the EPROM memory! Therefore I wanted to have rilgsm.dll first times in the image!

Is there any other way i can access this site or I can download this files, the sites are block here in my country, Please Help
Ronnie
how can it be done?
is there a wiki page about it?
fyi: i need cab files from extended roms
use ER2003Edit,find it in ftp ... :wink:
here u go ftp://[email protected]/Tools/
i thought that was not possibe for anything else then the XDAII? I need it for all devices, basically
What this tool can't do:
* Edit other ROM images than those for the xda2

i've heard xda2jojo talking about newer version that doesn't require password....i'll dig in the forum...brb :wink:
"Download the latest version of windows mobile 2003 rom editor that bypass the password... "this is what xda2jojo said in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=26094&highlight=
theoretically,by bypassing the password u can open any ext ROM....theoretically....ok....i didn't try it :wink:
I can open up extended rom files for the Himalaya no problem, but this too wont allow me to open extended rom files from ROMs other then the one meant for the Himalaya...so I cant open extended rom files for Magician/ Universal/ Wizard/Blue Angel...thats what I mean
thx for the effort though
sorry i couldn't help .....but i've got this idea concerning blueangel.....try unlocking the ext ROM and extract the files :wink: ....though,u still need a blueangel device,and i don't know if other device have ext ROM unlocker..
no worries
The WM5.0 emulator is working on my PC.
Japanese Emu, S-Chinese emu, and T-CHinese, emulator. also english.
i want dll, mui, exe files from them, to make Japenese or chinese WM5.0
on my Himalaya with english WM5.
Hope someone can help to dump it or make dump tool.
i have a dump tool my friend made for WM2003 emulator, so not worked for WM5.0.
if need emulator image from WM5.0 SDK, i will upload i them.
Please help!
ms would be pretty stupid if they made it possible for one to unload a real rom image from an enulator
as far as i know then all roms have to be 100% made / "compiled" for each pda to work
so unless that emulator was using an 100% image of the rom for the device you want to upload it to later
i doubt it would work

thanks for your comment,
but plese dont worry i want just take the resourcese from dll or exe, to make mui files to pretend interface of OS.
i used this way to make japanese OS on my Blue Angel with PPC2003se.
Mr, Mamaichi teached this way to me in the past.
for your refference

Japanese site, but you can see the JPGs
ooh got a bit confused then i guess
Asukal
You can dump the ROM image from WM5 emulator with a normal dumprom tool, but first you need to convert image from B000F to the NB format with the command:
perl splitrom.pl PPC_USA_GSM_VR.BIN -wo ROM.BIN -oe 0x82000000
and then dump it as a normal rom:
dumprom.exe ROM.BIN -5 -d C:\ROM_DUMP
I've tested that on english version of emulator.
you'll need splitrom.pl script and a new build of dumprom tool from itsme.
Mamaichi>>>
thanks for your information!
i will try it!!
Thanks Mamaich!
after i got your private message and done it!
i got dumped roms files form mnu!
@Japanese OS image
@Simple chinese OS image
@Smart phone (WM5) japanese image
after succesfull them, the splitrom have error on following emu image.
@English OS image
@Traditional OS image.
i dont know why???
may try to restart windows system and try again
any way, i got it!
thanks!
hi Asukal,
can you please give me the links to your emu images?
i'm too lazy to search.. ;o)))
thanx

what is the error text? I've dumped english ROM without errors
to mr,mamaich
i got successfult to dump english SDK emu rom after that.
But i took Bin from SDK in another computer.
I guess Bin file which i tryied dump at beggining was broken or have some problem??
or i have already opened and drove this emu image on the Emulator many times so it was not default already.
i have never tried again about T-CHinese Bin.
i think it can be possible if i took out another T-Chinese bin from another SDK.
the error text was...... cant remember exactry because i left that computer coz i am trip in europe now.
maybe.....
This image files has incorrect(or invalid) boot image.....or some like that.
sorry my late rplay.
I am in Germany now and have to visit Milan and paris after here.
thanks
MUI's in wm2005
Hi, everybody!
I followed this thread and successfully created some MUI's for 2005 (I think) but I can't get the device to load them. I tried changing the registry settings (worked for 2003se) but it didn't help.
No changes I made are visible and the files can be deleted, so I guess they are just ignored for some reason.
Can anyone help please :?:
Thank a lot!
that is true, also cant do that.
keep on studying now.
Something different from WM2003!
MUI security signature?
Hallow again!
I think the problem might be with the digital signature Microsoft now requires. :idea:
Also I made the following experiment:
I put the resources in 2003SE MUI officeres and btres and it did load, but when I tried it with shellres or coresres it didn't work.
I think it won't load unsigned system files…
Any ideas?
Any leads will be greatly appreciated!
:lol:

because on 2003, files are copied to RAM. on 2005 are used directly from ROM.

Re: MUI's in wm2005
buzz_lightyear. 2005 can also load dlls to RAM, for example when they are started from storage card or built-in storage.
There maybe one more reason. The DLL may be not loaded if your resource DLL does not have some resources that the original DLL has. Or if your DLL is somehow incorrect. You should make a program that calls LoadLibrary() for your MUI DLL and check the error code if it does not load.
For MS Smartphones there was a registry key that allowed to run unsigned applications. Maybe the similar method exists for WM5.
Asukal. I've attached the program that would try to dump shellres.dll of your device to \storage card\shellres.dll. I've tested the program only under emulator, on the real device it may crash.
If it would not crash - you should look into the produced DLL to examine its resources. This dumper would produce DLLs that are unable to load (they have no relocations information), and their size is larger than it should be, but resources should be extracted correctly.
PM me if the program crashes. And it probably would crash. I'll try to do something.
Mr,Buzz and Mr,Mamaichi!
thanks your comments, and i have just back from Paris and too tired to try mamaichi`s testwm5.exe
aftre sleep while, i will try it! (i dont afraid crash! glad to be sarifice!
I'd recommend you to try this tool - http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=23520&start=25#152044
To mr,mamaich
The first attached testWM5.exe dumped only dump.dll(?)
the second TESTWM5.exe of the link can extraxt installed files also, and RAM files can be dumped.too.
but not crashed.
i will remake MUI file and test it!
Thanks!
Hi all, i found out that few days ago m$hit releaseed Device Emulator 2.0, i found wm6 sdk as well(contains images of wm6) but u cannot intall it w/o m$hit vis studio 2005 or higher.
Is here anyone who installed wm6sdk & can post images somewhere(i think if i need 2 run dev.emu, i need only image/*.bin,*.nb0/ and skin files/some xml and png/)
thx
btw, or is there any possibility 2 use own image?
Post removed, PSnake figured out how to extract them, see below
SO finaly i extracted VGA image from wm6sdk. Only Vga ver. U need 2 install Device Emulator, then extract rar and double click on shortcut

I have seen that question asked before and asked it before myself, at this point it doesn't seem like anyone knows how to do that.

Are there WM2003SE (arm cpu) images for device emulator?

This is the exact information i need to find out. Can someone give me a good start on how to do it?
Im using MS Device Emulator v1.0. All Cooked ROMs I find have the .nbf format and the emulator asks for .nb0 format.
there is no problem 2 convert nbf to nb0( or nb or nba format) all you need is HTC64_Extended_ROM_Tool.exe (wiki or ftp). but other thing is to convert it to the "right" m$hits format. i dont think there is a way yet. maybe, i didnt try it thru tadzio's imgfs extraction utility (as to my knowlegde the ony one tool capable to extract m$hits emulator imgs) maybe its capable of compiling one.
Saw the lifehacker post http://lifehacker.com/395266/windows-mobile-emulator-tests-phone-apps-on-your-desktop
and wanted to test out some custom roms on my pc before installing. I've tried to convert .nbh files to .nb with dutty's tool, but the emulator won't accept it. Was there any progress on getting this to work?
There is a Emulator ROM Kitchen. Check out my sig.
A tool for converting nbh 2 bin /nb0

Your Kitchen is for cooking and then emulating. You cant emulate the cooked nbh roms. Or?
We need an emulator for cooked roms. Or a tool for converting nbh files to bin or nb0 with "right" m$hit format.
Actually the roms which your kitchen creates can be emulated with MS Device Emulator, but your kitchen needs a bin rom to create a new rom, so its not useful.
Any solutions?
Hello folks is there any progress with booting up the nbh cooked rom inside emulator please ? Thanks.
hi all,
i m new to this community so i need this help.
1:i installed a few cab files for my o2 xda mini II and some work but a few says that this is not a valid win CE cab file. i don't know why this problem occurs only for some and not for others
2:how can i change the file association of files? i mean if i want to open a pdf file from adobe and not clearvue pdf,then how it should b done?
3: which type of flash files can i play.i tried *.swf and they work but can i use the flash files that work on my pc too?
come on guys,
so many members and not a single reply??
hi adithya,
1. some of the cab files may be for WM5. so they wont install on WM2003 (XDA II Mini has Windows Mobile 2003 SE)
2. Regarding changing the file association, i remember seeing an application for that in the site. just search for it.
