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.

Hi all,
I've upgraded to W2K5 on my XDA2. (respect to Buzz and all for their fantastic effort in making this possible) The Extended Rom is now unlocked/un-hidden
I'm confused about 1 thing. I've still got the orignal O2 extended ROM contents but after installing and hard resetting, I dont see the 'Customising' message and none of the CABs get installed.
This isnt a huge problem as I dont want most of them anyway but if I try to install them individually, the one I'm installing gives a message about removing the previously installed Customization Tools.
1. is the only way to install a few of these CABs to cook my own extended ROM?
2. Why would the original O2 extended ROM contents not even attempt to install after upgrading to W2K5/hard reset?
3. Is there a way to install individual CABs from the O2 extended ROM without the previously installed one being removed?
Many thanks in advance for any advice.
you can install whatever you like but
keep in mind that some programs there will not work in BUZZmobile 2005
search the ftp for a 2577 zip files there is the best colection made for BUZZmobile by another god thats really good ;-)
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.

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.

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
Hi,
I am building a rom off the back of current highest rom for my HTC Leo (going by the htc website on a serial number search) 'RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2', using some of the updated packages out of 'RUU_Le2_UK_1.72.206.3'. Keeping most of the rom as stock, removing copilot from the device, replacing the netcf with the latest version, and adding hotfixes from htc's website.
I am having trouble though with installing cab's I have converted to ext. Some work and install as intended (Omarket, BSB Tweaks, Swype, CHTE, Tom's Autoinstall). However I am finding that some programs aren't there after flashing (cookie home tab, pocket text editor, and various other apps i have tried).
I also seem unable to change my ringtone now.
I have searched around, but not found quite the help i need to remedy these issues.
If anyone could offer some help here, it would be great

Maybe you should check the initflashfiles.txt in every EXT package to see if the links to the programs in the Start Menu are present and created.
Hi everybody.
i just flashed back to stock rom and want to give it a try. since right after i bought the phone i always had cooked roms on it and they all came with an autoinstall feature. now after hard resetting i face installing a lot of cab files and certainly don't want to do it manually.
i tried renaming my AutoInstall folder to 2577, hoping it would be processed then (it didn't), i looked through the entire rom for a similar feature, found none. can anyone tell me, how to get an entire folder of cabs installed?
- could anyone upload their autoinstaller, for instance from NRG or cloudy rom?
- is there a stock way to process a folder of cabs?
- is there maybe a portable tool (Autoinstall.exe) available somewhere?
- could autorun.exe files, that often come with a 2577 folder of satnav software process all cabs in their folder? if so, could someone please upload one?
thanks in advance
Would Sashimi help?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538513&highlight=backup
thanks for the tip. meanwhile i got so bored with the stock rom, not offering enough features for my everyday use, i changed to energy rom, which comes with XDA_UC autoinstall, and before ever flashing back to stock, i will extract the autoinstall from this rom. still sashimi is an interesting thing. after all, energy roms get updated so often, there is a lot of backup/restore to do, it might come handy.
As stated, SASHIMI appears to be your way forward. Goodluck
