Hi,
I want to flash my XDA Orbit with WM6. o2 has the image on their page, but it first installs WM6 and then destroys many things when it tries to put everything to GPRS, so that users pay much money instead of using the built in WLAN.
I read something about flashing and then soft resetting, so that it cannot run the branding tool. The .cab files with the branding tools an Tomtom and some patches are lying then somewhere. Where?
Is this method good?
When do I have to soft-reset?
regards,
Stefan

Just as the unit starts the customisation, directly after the auto-setup routine.
HTH,
Hello,
thank you for the info. I found that out in the meantime, but where are the update files then? I`m unable to find them...

In extended ROM, if you want to take them out, it's possible to cook the same ROM and re-flash it without this part....
If you want to see this stuff, you'll need an application like Total Commander.
Hello,
thank you for the info!
Which version of Total Commander? And why Total Commander? To view cabs? This is possible with WinRar, too. But there are only the installer files and the complete RUU image. I tried TC but I got the same result as with winrar.
Or is the PDA version meant?
I want to use the original ROM from the o2 homepage, just without branding. I have no o2 SIM card, bought it from ebay. And I don't want to unlock it, because of warranty.
regards,
Stefan

Total Commander allows you to look n the extended ROM on your device I presumed you wanted to clear files out that way.

You can look in the RUU image for the nbh file (using WinRAR), then break this apart to take out the ExtROM....

Hope this helps - if not, then I've probably done what you're looking for already and could put it on the FTP site....one of the Mods will tell me if this is a no-no....
Hello again,
I extracted the .nbh file.
"for the nbh file (using WinRAR), then break this apart to take out the ExtROM.."
What to do with it? renaming to .zip or .rar doesn't result in winrar opening it...
It's the german ROM.
I want to flash it as meant and then stop soft-reset when branding wants to start (waiting 3s). And then install only the needed fixes (sd fix, cam fix etc.)

Stefan

Ah. I assumed you had some cooking tools...you need to run NBHExtract, take out the EXTRom, run Dark Simpson's HTC ROM Tool to re-constitute the ROM and then re-flash. Are you happy about all this, or did you want to stay 'official'?

Do you have a link to the German ROM somewhere? I'll happily do all this and post the file somewhere for you to pick up.
Hi,
I don't want to brick it ;-) If I flash a cooked ROM, I have to cid unlock it before. Is this necessary? The premium Rom looks nice. A german version is not available, or did I miss it?
At xda-zone where they postet this, they wrote that somewhere then lying the .cab or .exe files which are executed then. Is it not posssible to extract them? And then install them manually?
On my request where they are no one answered...
I never cooked a rom or something like that, yet.
I can give you the link, but I think you are unable to get it, because there is a serial check before dl. But you can try.
If you have ICQ, I can send it.

The cam fix (found it in a forum) leads into the cam working good and the new modes are nice but often there is a message that the cam cannot be initialized. Then soft-reset helps.
Do you have the radio fix? Is TMC possible with it? With Navigon?

Stefan

Well, I'm only a trainee chef, but I can break ROMs apart and put them back together easy, without playing with the content too much - that's all you need here.

Yeah, I'm at work at present, probably couldn't get the file through the firewall... Could try emailing to me - if you PM I'll give my email address.

I guess if you have downloaded mkrom you get it along with it.

Hi,
I double checked the "mkrom", but I'm unable to allocate the files needed to use IIWPO!
Any suggestions?

Sorry, I didn't explain well. I mean, the link that I mentioned gives ftp details. The ftp directory contains all the necessary files to cook the rom. There too I am not so certain, but I remember having seen it there. You may check. Needless to say, you will need an ftp client.
Still no IIWPO found!
Can someone please tell me when I can find IIWPO - Anti-Theft Protection?
Thanks in advance!

"iipwo_startup.exe and iipwo_main.exe"
Has anyone got an answer to this post as yet. Or at least can someone post these two files here to be downloaded. Just loaded SpriteClone V1.9.0 and tried a new feature (RAW image). Needless to say it seems to have removed a few EXEs from my ROM image, I have restored all except the above two files.
Yes I have searched the threads and Googled the world without any luck.
Hello all, seems that their some benefits t having a XDA with a broken screen. Booted it up and was able to extract the two files needed.
I'll post it here in case anyone else is looking for them:
Being new to all this XDA Stuff, will these files work on XDA II device ?
and most importantly, what will they do for the device ?
cheers
hi guys..... first of all i would like to say that i finally got the big storage thing working and its cool! Now my question is..... do i have to install all of the cab files in the extended rom 1 by 1? because i clicked on auto RUN and nothing happened.....
Yes, you have to install them manually but you can choose which ones do you really want to have.

thanks it work great!!!
What about the Orange ROM files??
The Orange ROM contains the Enable_VT_RTPlugin_0727_2_signed.CAB file as well, but not the other one. The other one only seems to disable call waiting anyway, so you shouldn't need it.

Didnt realise that was what it did - have removed it to avoid any confusion!

I've been looking at EXACTLY what each CAB file does and I keep meaning to write a post explaining, but I haven't got round to it yet. Maybe I'll get some time tonight...

Have you seen this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=179142#179142
is it ok ?
To remove O2 customization on xda exec, we hard-reset & before custom install we soft reset.
Can I use the same method on MDA pro to avoid T-mobile customisation ??

Yes you can, just install the cabs you need afterwards (there's some useful patches)
Oops! I installed Big Storage, but where I thought I'd backed up my cabs... I haven't. Anyone got the cabs for the Magician, or know how I can extract them from a rom file?
I've looked on the FTP, but I can't find any there.

What about the folger \Magician\Extended_Roms ? There are lots of files/folders containing the original ExtRom Cabs for lots of devices.
Or if you got a romdump from your non-bs system; use bal666 tool to extract them. Might even work on an extracted shipped-rom. But first...visit the ftp! As psych0t1c suggests.

Hello...
Can any one explain me why i can't be able to install my cabs on my new ROM?
I've cooked my latest ROM for Rhodium, with the build 23569... but if i tap on a cabinet file situed on my MicroSD, do not happen nothing!
With this problem, i can't install nothing! How i can resolve?
I hope ever in you!
you removed some required packages, or made a change which cause it to not being included.
have you been playing with "Shell" package under SYS?
there is an app responsible for installing cab. it's called "wceload"
search for it on pda, if it exists there. check classes in registry too, if cab files are being opened by it.

what it's saying? just no reaction?
try to run it directly. Create shortcut:
1#\Windows\wceload.exe \yourfolder\cabfile.cab
check security setting too:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies]
; Disable the security warning
"0000101a"=dword:00000001
check others there too
