I was out of the forums for few years and missed how to make ExtROM for BA for WM6. I used to create for WM 2003.
Can some one provide me the link for it which works for WM6 and creates ExtROM?
I created an ExtROM folder in Storage Card with all the cabs and also added AutoRun.exe from my collection of WM 2003 and wrote proper Config.txt file, but it didnt work.

I have been looking for a mkrom that works with 2003 ROMs. since kitchen cooks 2003 rom, there must be one version of mkrom that works with 2003.
I downloaded the kitchen, and tried to use the small set under one of _/ directory to cook my version of 2003 without setting out the entire kitchen. but got into one problem. -- the xda does not boot
it shows the boot screen, and the G324e4, R6.10.00 4.00.11, then stops there
one thing I figure went wrong is:
the default.reg I got out of default.fdf is oly about 30k large while the old 2002 version of default.reg is more than 200-300 k large.
any one can help here? I cooked based on 4.00.11 rom, which by itself installs on my xda fine.
Hi Pine
If you are trying to add files to you're Rom you will need to use an original (Not one from Jeffs Kitchen) as the XIP segments get screwed if you try to re-write them. (not sure why) If you run Mkrom without adding additional files you will find it loads fine.

I was not trying to add my files at all. I downloaded a rom, followed the step to cook a new rom without adding any of my files. the resulted rom does not load. quite disapointing experience.
I used the 4.00.11 rom, used the 4.00.11 directory in the kitchen download, modified mkrom to comment out the wince 3 version variables and uncomment the 4 version variables.
anything else I should do?
or the kitchen downloaded from xda-developers.com does not actually work with 2003 yet?
O.K.
Rom Kitchen contains parts of the old Mkrom but relies on more perl scripts to do the work. I have done the same as you and it works fine for me. Best guess is you havn't converted the the default reg properley did you use tr -d "/0" <default.reg>default.txt to convert ? check that you can actualy read the output if its in hex then youv'e done it wrong. The output file should be around 8 to 12 kb

hello! I'm wanted to know how do you extract the Extrom from ppc? meaning the each file such as CallerID, PhonePad, etc.. thank u in advance.

Over here the right Paths

Sorry , folders fixed!
There are plenty threads explaining this, but here you go:
Extraction of extrom:
-Install required rom
-On first start up setup ppc untill " please tap screen" to finalize
-Within the 3 second count down soft reset your system
-you will see exposed extrom via explorer
-from within active sync/explore navigate to folder and copy to pc
-voila, each cab can be started manually from within ppc[/quote]
Hi to all.
I read on the forum about modifing my magician memory with big storage. Once I obtain a big storage, Am I able to customize my hard reset settings adding files on the zone where before there was the extended rom?
A more elegant way to change my mobile general brandization quold be modify ms_.nbf file. I read on other forums that for XDA II there are some tools that manage to get the image of the extended rom from this file, so you can change it and reinstall. Is it possible with Magician ms_.nbf file?
Any help about add brandization to my XDA II mini would be very appreciated
Thanks
Vincent
Hi Vincent,
After the BIG Storage patch you won't be able to load any cab's automatically from your ext-rom since it no longer exists. So you need to backup your ext-rom first & determine which cabs you need for operator specific settings & start them after a hard-reset.
A tool to edit the ms_.nbf from the magician is developed by bal666.
Cheers, M
Thanks
Hi, really thanks for your answer.
I managed to change my ext rom nbf file and uploaded it on my magician.
What I needed to know was if a big storage had overwritten my ext rom and you answered me before...
Thanks
Vincent
I have been able to extract the EXT ROM and OS ROMs using the NB2NBF and IMGFS tools. I know that by using a custom ROM I can save on storage space by loading in my programs. I'd like to load Pocket Informat, Alarm Today, Phone Alarm , isilo and TCPMP into the OS ROM. How do I do this? I have all their cabs. I will keep reading the forums too.
I know that some like summiter have done this. Anyone able to help me get started or point me in the right direction?

the only device i ever heard supporting that is walaby
dont know if it's possible with other devices
i mean the os part of the rom is well you know full already
yes it is possibel.you need a tool called [typhoonnbfdecode_v5] look for this tool and how to use somehere in the ftp, and here in the wizard forums
you need to make a dump of the os from a nk.nbf image with the above tool
then you need to extract the files from de cabs you want plus the reg settings,
simply copy the extracted files from cab to your rom dump folder
make a cab file with the reg files from the cab files an also the shortcuts to the programs.
repack the rom with the typhoonnbfdecode_v5, convert the nba image with NB2NBF back to nbf and flash,after that install the cab with reg settings plus shortcuts,
you have a long jorney ahead.
i took me several weeks to make my own rom with netcf.2,adobe acrobat e several other programs integrated to the rom.

OK I have gotten the nk.nbf extracted and the EXT ROM opened using winimage and the OS ROM dumped via imgfs.
Where I am running into problems understanding is how to unpack the .cab install files for the programs I am planning on using and how to "move" them to the \Program Files\ directories that they need to be in. For example PocketInformant is loaded into the \Program Files\WebIS directory. Do I put all the files from the .cab file in the dump OS directory? Is there some sort of program that will extract the .cab file and let me look at what registry settings are being set by its installation?
What program is used to create registry settings into a .cab file?
Thanks

Hey!
I want to add some apps to the Rom of my Wizard, too.
I have used imgfs tools to great a dump from my OS.
Now i want to Install Total Commander to a Folder "\Programme\Total Commander\".
How can i do this? Or is it only possible to copy the files without any folder?
Sry for my bad english
FIXED! NOW IT SHOULD WORK!
I hope this can help some of you.
To use xplode's cabs as the extended rom first you need to create a folder on your SD card named ExtROM
Then you need to extract all files from the cabs.rar to this folder (ExtROM on your SD card). You will need winrar or 7zip to extract the files.
Now go to ExtROM folder and rename the file SAMPLE_CFG.TXT to CFG.TXT. You can edit this file to customize it to your needs.
The final part is to download this file: extromtools.rar and extract the file autorun.exe and OemExtDll.dll to the ExtROM folder on your SD card.
Now you need to hardreset your device or simply execute CheckAutorun.exe which is located on your windows folder.
More info here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_ERK_Understand
Execution of the Extended ROM
* CheckAutorun.exe (which is started from \Windows\Startup\CheckAutorun.lnk) executes the AutoRun.exe
* AutoRun.exe is found in the \Extended_Rom Folder
* AutoRun.exe reads the \Extended_Rom\Config.txt and executes the commnands in that file
* The pointer for AutoRun.exe HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\AutoRun is set to \Extended_ROM\AutoRun
* The pointer for Config.txt HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\AutoRunCFG is set to \Extended_ROM\AutoRunCFG
* The Touch screen is disabled by the first command (TPDisable.exe)in the Config.txt
* The Touch screen is enabled by the 2nd to last command (TPEnable.exe)in the Config.txt
* The last Command of the config.txt (RST) performs a soft reset

I have created cabs which replace the xml files. The one of the xml files i have merged with the Arcsoft MMS cab and there are two other cabs for enable MMS into messaging app and for enable the windows update. also i have created from the other xml cab which does this in vista:
also it adds the T-Mobile as manifacturer and MDAIII as model in properties of it.
i will test the cabs and post them, have to do a hard reset in order to test them in action

Thank you xPlode, I'm waiting your cab
Excellent, looking forward to your new cab. I also need MMS but it didn't work for me.
also by the way you can always use this for loading xml configurations
