xip help - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I'm looking for a good tutorial on moving modules within xip chains, or someone willing to teach me. I just need some help on how to remap modules within the xip i'm inserting back into the rom. I believe I have to change the vbase and realaddr inside the imageinfo for the modules I'm changing, but would like a helping hand on how best to calculate it, and how best to move them within the xip and if there is anything else in the imageinfo I need to change.
Thanks in advance.

anyone?

unfortunately I can't help, but you might want to have a look at bepe's XIPPORT comment here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296294&p=1158510

That doesn't help unfortunately. I'm looking specifically for how best to relocate modules within the xip. I have the general mechanics of working with xip down.

Disregard, I was able to teach myself.

Would you be kind to share the information on how you have accomplished this? Which tools you have used?
Thanks in advance.

Unlock Extended ROM

I know, this issue has been already treated in other posts, but up to now, I have not found a solution on how to unlock Extended ROM on the magician. Is that just one of those cases: "it is not possible".
Or did I oversee something somewhere else in the forum ?
Cheers
Hans
it is not locked.
it is just a section of the flash rom.
you can flash it using 'pflashrom' - i did not put a compiled version in itsutils, since i am afraid people will mess up there phones with it. if you are knowlegable enough to compile it, you can probably use it sensible enough not to break your phone.

Since it is ROM (Read Only): does it mean, I can't write anything to it ?
Excuse my dumb questions.
I can see the Extended Rom either directly on the MDAc or thru Activesync with explorer. Thats not the problem.
When I try to copy something, it says that it is write protected.

Hi itsme,
where can i wind the pflashrom source please?
I looked in wiki and in your site, but cannot find it.
THANX
buzz
it is pnewbootloader.exe, renamed to 'pflashrom.exe'
see http://nah6.com/~itsme/cvs-xdadevtools/itsutils/src/Makefile and http://nah6.com/~itsme/cvs-xdadevtools/itsutils/src/pnewbootloader.cpp

Hey Willem,
Okay, i have to compile these textfiles into a program? Using what? I'm a kind of person who doesn't ever do any hacking or programming but i heard a friend of mine say that you can clear the extended rom so you can use the memory as working or storage mem. i would like to... Any tips?
Cheers
Hey itsme,
I have been looking through your code for this and I have a question. I notice you are referencing specific addresses. I have a HP 6515 on its way and working with someone that has one, it seems to recycle alot of the Magician. Can you give me some tips on how to find the specific addresses on this device? Thanks.

How to Cook your first ROM

Wouldn't there happen to have a nice tutorial on how to cook your own ROM?
I mean, the new cooks don't know what to do exactly...I'm thinking about making Vanilla 4.01 an even better ROM, with the new radio and etc...the problem is, I know NOTHING about cooking...
Anyone could gimme a Cooking for Dummies?
This could be a sticky thread if evryone contributes to create tutorials on cooking...
Thanks a lot everyone!
There is a sticky.... I don't know how usefull it is, but it has very much info and links to tutorials.
Here's the link

I mean, it's kinda good to have a kitchen to cook like hypercore, but how are we supposed to use it? someone that knows nothing about ROM cooking...

[Q] open and Modify ROM

O.K. i have looked for the answer to this question and the closest i can get is from a post in 2006 using Hypercore. So with that said i am sorry if i am overlooking the the answer somewhere. i love the WhiteStone_WM6.5_D4C2_21905_COM2_PV built by "pdaviet".The problem is that I would like to open this rom and add a couple of thing to it wrap it back up and put it back on my phone. How do i do this. i have been trying to figure this out for 6 hours now and i am about to lose my mind not to mention my eyes. any direction somebody can point me is appreciated.
Try this method, and ignore posts that say you can't dump protected roms. You may need to change settings, depending on the device.

This kitchen is device specific. Probably he will need to adjust it for his needs.

Depends on what device you use. Not an easy task if you have no idea how the cooking process work.

thanks for quick reply i would like to adjust it for hd2.
I got this kitchen customized only for TP2 devices. No time to adjust it for HD2.
BTW Anyway even if you would have such a kitchen for HD2, I don't think it will be any usage for you if you don't know how cooking works...

thanks again i only need this to add few apps in a custom rom.i dont know much about cooking but i am trying to learn with help ofnice people like you.
Just install them by using cab files. Much easier (and safer!).
Recooking roms is not something you are able to learn in a day or two.

i know it is not easy but can you please tell me how can i modify this to extract leo rom.thanks
You're gonna need to modify the ini files in the tools folder. I think you'll need to add the HD2 to the list in htcrt.ini and htcrt_devices.ini, and then get a Leo.htcrtproj file. The easiest thing would be to download a Leo-specific kitchen and get the files (or maybe the settings that you need.). I've never done it before, but it looks pretty easy. Just open the files with notepad, and you'll see what's missing.
thank for reply .i will give it a try,

Help me !!! Start Menu not open.

Dear,
Not found the solution. Could someone teach me how to solve my problem?
I'm a beginner cook to the i900 and then I made a new compilation of my Start Menu no longer open ? Can not see my application icons.
Any help or advise would be a good size.
Thank you all.
mureta.
Cook in all of the sys packages; you're leaving out something important. Make sure you get the right dpi/lang. I think most of the start menu stuff is in the Base packages. You probably left one out. Anyway, until you know really well what you need in your builds, it's best to cook in all of the sys packages for your device.
That usually happens when one of the .cpr files are missing, like Farmer said...
@Farmer Ted
Again thanks for your great help provided as always. I'll find out on their boards.
@NRGZ28
I will check on your help. Thanks. I am a great admirer of his work.
Note:Without the help of you could not imagine what could be.
Not wanting to bother, I put my attached SYS-Lang, only for a simple conference of you EXPERTS!
Tnks so very much. Sry my english.
mureta.
@Farmer Ted and NRGZ28
Well guys, apparently my SYS is good, I'm deducing that since there was no comment.
I've only had several builds and still the same thing, even all complete. Regarding the file (. cpr), really do not know where to find the solution which the file properly connected and how to change the file, what I did was copy and change all the (. cpr) that works in the kitchen and put in English in my kitchen in Portuguese, but without success.
If possible, I would like a teaching easier, if possible.
Grateful.
I am guessing your taskbar icon mod if you have any.
But best bet is to disable all mods, cook only stock pkgs and see what happens. Then add mods one by one.

Thanks my friend, I'll try that too. Good idea.
@Farmer Ted, NRGZ28 and ai6908
I followed all the tips for you past and it worked.
Do not report the final result because I was too busy with my work, so the delay from my end result.
I thank you and thank you for everything and good will.
mureta.
