hi ppl,
i m from indonesia, i have locked xda with :
rom ver : 3.14.13 eng
rom date : 10/09/2002
radio ver : 4.14
protocol ver : 32s54
offcourse i can not use xdaunlock.exe (to unlocked the xda), and i dont have serial cable.
so... i tried to install xda-developer-ser-v12.exe (i hope i can use xdaunlock.exe to unlocked my xda, and got cooler xda with more application ), but after i run the file, the problem is
"cannot find the rom image to upgrade your pocket pc. please download again".
anyone any idea with it???
and i plan to download :
-Radio Stack Upgrade v4.21 (1.54MB)
-Radio Unit Upgrade v3.17.03 (14.9MB)
at http://www.o2.co.uk/business/productsservices/xda/romupgradedownload/0,,113,00.html
can i unlocked my xda with xdaunlock.exe if i upgrade the RSU and RUU with those?
please advice!!!
thanks everyone
regards
it s work
i wake up in the morning, and turn off my laptop, with activesync connected to my xda.
i unzip the xda-developer-ser-v12.exe to directory, and running start.bat
and.....
wooow. it is work.
i can update my rom with xda-developer-ser-v12.exe
my xda finally unlocked, and can use my own simcard.
thanks xda-developers.
I had the same problem but I fixed it by unzipping the file to a folder on my desktop with the original folder names in the zipped file. It worked fin from there!
Hi Jim,
Maybe I did not get the message right- I thot one should always have used Jeff's exe file from the pc; ie clicking on the exe on the pc with the xda in connection with activesync?
It seemed to me that you guys have uploaded the file into the xda and tried to execute the file within the xda. I believe this is wrong right?
Can someone please confirm that to run any of the self installer exe file (even those now in the famous rom kitchen), one has to run the exe from the pc with the xda connected and not within the xda.
Cheers
Vic
Hey Vic, you're right - The exe from Jeff's site needs to be run from the pc. When I did it the first time just opening the exe I got the error listed above. When I unzipped the .exe file (I just opened it from Winzip) and extracted the contents to a dir on my pc using it's folder names then double clicked the start.bat file it found everything it needed and ran just fine. I think before I did this it couldn't find the files in the \English folder. - Jim
Hi Jim,
Thanks for reply and sharing with us your experience.
Have you had similar problems with one of those exe installer files in the rom kitchen at Jeff's webpage? I like the SER ver 1.2 but do not want certain programmes and it seemed logical to make my old rom. Have you used Jeff's rom kitchen yet?
Cheers
Vic
I did cook a rom in Jeff's kitchen and it works great!! I can't remember if I had to unzip and run the .bat file on that one or not. Either way it's very easy and a great service these guys are providing us - Thanks! - Jim
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!

Hi, i'm a proud owner of a universal (qtek9000) i'm looking for the software "cyberion voice commander" (non speed dial) italian language, unfortunately does not exist an italian commercial version of this software(otherwise I would buy it ).
I've an italian Eten rom (.exe) that have this program in extended rom, someone can help me to extract this program without install the rom (I haven't an eten )
Thank you...
From memory (it's been a long time since I did this, so it might all be wrong), for the Eten roms, run the installer, and it'll extract to a temp\ folder (use a file i/o tracker, or check your temporary files folder for which folder).
In there, I think you should find one file that is marked something like extended or something, and that can be opened with a standard virtual disk editor like winimage. Extract from FAT.
V
as i read in eten-user forum I've initially extract " EUU.exe", "USBDLUpdate_console.exe", "upgrade.bat" i think that upgrade.bat is really the rom and maybe contains the extended rom.
Now what do you suggest me to extract the program from this .bat
thanks a lot :wink:
What rom are you working on? Do you have a copy we can have a look at?
Thanks!
V
rom 215 Ita for Eten M600 , maybe in eten ppc there isn't an extended rom...
You have pm with the link to the rom...
Another ppc that have a rom with voice commander in rom is asus p505...
Thanks again...
Hello.. So, did you find the way to extract voicecommander from the rom??
I have the rom file (temp.dat 59.611.764 byte)
If someone needs it, please tell me that I'm going to share it!!
Thanks
I have ROM 230wwe for the eten m600 if you need it...I would like to know also how to extract this EXTROM.
Thanks
Does anyone know a way to extract files from an eten rom dupm (temp.dat file used in the flashing process) ?

Given that crossbow is now floating around out there I was wondering if its possible to cook your own ROM for the Herald? I would happily start researching cooking ROMS etc. if it is. Or are we faced with a situation similar to that of the hermes where we need to find a bootloader that allows the flashing of unsigned code?
Hi,
i think the Problem is that Herald is not so popular as the Wizard and Prophet by now....
Let´s ait and see when someone is getting this nice one unlocked !
you are in the same situation as the Hermes.
AFAIK all devices using NBH for rom upgrades, need the upgrade file to be signed, otherwise bootloader won't flash it.

thanks for the answer (not the one i was looking for though!), i noticed in your hermes thread that you managed to get your hands on the bootloader from a pre production hermes. has this helped? should i be looking for the equivelent for the herald?
It helped because it has the commands to flash unsigned code... i don't know if preproduction bootloaders in Herald will have the same "feature", but it may be handy if you can get one too
I can try looking but i wouldnt know where to start! any advice would be appreciated.
Bootloader of Herald is similar to that of prophet and wizard.The only differrence now is the nbh format.One needs to check if awizard work or not?Then we canthink of debranding.I am working on the Bootloader of herald.Will post everything in Wiki.Pls wait for some time

Thanks to aWizard v 1.3 beta2 and POF for making NBH extract..
I was able to flash my herald from 1.7 dopod asia to new HTC 1.8 without changing/touching IPL/SPL.Here is how to do :
1)Use POF's NBH extract and extract the ROM parts.
2) Copy the OS.nb to awizard ROM folder and rename it to.nba
3) From the Lib folder of awizard, transfer enable rapi and certsps cabs to yr device and install them.
4)Now run the batch file and select "e" to enable rapi.
5) Then you can directly choose the option "w".This will give you the option to choose the ROM u want.Select and wait till awizard finishes.
One can also back up the Extended ROM, Splash image, bootloader, Radio and OS ROM with awizard.
It is very interesting that the size of the .nb file extracted from NBH file and the size of the wizard ROM(80040000.nb) is exactly same.
I tried to put crossbow image into it..but I clouldn't boot the herald.The boot screen showed "OS 10.1.00.88
So if some one can extract the things from both the .nbs we can think of having crossbow in herald..and I think POF can do it.
I hope, this helps the members to upgrade and play with their toys.
You Rock
Finally !!!! Did it. followed the instructions and wallaa finally dutch rom Bye bye bye and Hello English Rom.
Thanx Guys you rock
Look'n forward to crossbow soon.
Very nice discovery hdubli!!
Unfortunately I don't have Wizard nor Herald, and I have not much experience in ROM cooking... you should ask the real gurus here if you want to port the Wizard's xbow to Herald.... I saw it was ported to Prophet, but I don't know about the internals of Herald and Wizard enough to say if this can be also done here or not.
Anyway, kudos for your finding!
P.S. You should add this info to the wiki!
well done hdubli, this is serious progress!
I have no experience of ROM cooking, however I have both a Wizard and a Herald, so if I can help in any way just let me know.
Can I update the page pool? I want more free ram I now have 24 mb, nut I really want al least 32mb
Can you help out how to extract my rom, is there any tuttorial? I tried XDA tools but it apears an error.
best regards
1. NBHextract
2. mamaich imgfs tools to extract OS.nb, if it does not work try tadzio's make/prepare imgf with "-hermes" switch.
thanks a lot
i'll try to get the portuguese rom for xda

looking for a bit of guidence here
i have the herald 1.8 ROM as .nba (taken from device using awizard)
and i have the wizard OS I want to use as .nb (extracted using typho5)
now my understanding here is i need to extract the herald drivers from the herald OS and replace the wizard drivers in the wizard OS, rebuild the OS.nba and write it to the herald using awizard. Am i heading along the right lines or am i way off? any help would be appreciated.
i really don;t know but if you have a rom with more ram I would like to have it lol

I do the same thing as you did, tried to put crossbow image into it, and it boot up and freeze at the start screen, so now I have the problem, how to put the old OS back?
I have back up the OS ROM, but my machine can only boot into the tri-color screen, how did you do on your machine, please tell, it will hellp me out.

Once you run the BuildOS program in Build menu, if you follow those stepps you'll have the OS.nb in the temp folder. After that, you will be asked if you want to convert it into Signed .nbh and it will be moved into the HTools in the Tools folder. Just follow the tutorial in Help folder, you will figure it out.
Cheers
It works !!!
anichillus,
thanks for the guide and it works for me. I have re-cooked BEPE WM6 WWE OS.nb and it works smoothly for me.

can u tell me the steps of cooking?
I want translate BEBE WM6 WWE to French. But i don't know the method. I can extract mui files from emulator but next ? I misses files into emulator. Do you have a tutorial ?
can this tool be used to change to vendor / country id of a rom - ie change the official htc wm5 rom so that it may install from bootloader on a locked o2 orbit?
thanks.

No! It can create nb/nba file to flash on a live devices. But created nbh files are invalid. So you cannot flash at Bootloader!
first time using kitchen stuck
I just have one question completely new to this stuff how do i take the missing files that are on the package tool and put the back to the sys folder that they need to be in sorry if question is stupid
Hi!
Thanks for an awesome toolkit!! I have some questions regarding home brew
1) Could I cook a ROM containing some of the applications I usually installs on my device, for instance tomtom, pocket plus, resco explorer and so on?
2) How do I change language on the ROM I cooks? I know I have to extract the resource from the emulator ROM's, but then...
3) Can I mix and match resources in different languages? I want a WWE ROM, but with the Norwegian onscreen keyboard?
Thanks for this good tutorial, I'm still trying to find out all options that there are. I'm looking forward to see a complete tutorial about all the functions, e.g. how do I integrate my own apps into the ROM or EXT Rom, signing files.....
My first ROM didn't work but I'd really build a ROM that increases my program memory as already mentioned and all my standard apps preinstalled, own splash screen,.... But that will take some time.
I translated the tutorial into German, send me a PM to tell me where to send it.
Web
Is there a problem with the website? I can ping it but I can't read it.
Thank you so much anichillus for your great posts and releases. I'm using your Kitchen, and I have nothing but all the good to say.
Though, i have a few questions. I understand that making the Rom by using the CreateROM.bat file makes it so much easier. But, I would like to know what exactly hapens when we execute CreateROM.bat.
why do we have many seprate folders like SYS, ROM, flashrom, Tools?
i know that we can use the OEM folder for adding packages.
i also know that the Tools folder has all the programs ndded to make the rom.
What is the SYS folder? what does it do?
What is the ROM folder? what does it do? Can we change the file Flash.nbo? if we can, how is the final ROM affected?
Thanks again for all your support.
majdi_alkurd: click right mouse button on createROM.bat, then Edit and you'll see what exactly does it do.
