Extract CAB from ROM and install to other device - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hey,
I'm trying to extract the program Today Panel Lite (freeware) from a WM5 Ipaq 6828 ROM, and install it on a Ipaq 612c
Can that be done?
I've emailed Rhino (the makers of the app) and have no reply and this App was free when it was avaiable (only the pro version is avaiable now and you have to pay for it)
Thanks,
TB

Maybe this will point you in the correct direction

Please note this is a kitchen for the diamond, so i'm not sure if it will work for you.
it is possible though, to extract the stuff and repackage it, it is mentioned in the first post. (also the required software)

Cheers Mr_Gee, seems like that kictchen does not like the HP rom files. The HP rom is a NBF format, while that kictchen is looking for a NBH file.
thx bosshogg2003 but Rhino no longer provides the lite version only the pro which you have to pay for.
I;ve reposted this onteh Atom forum (Atom and 6828 are pretty much the same) so hopefully there is a Kitchen that can be used on HP roms.

ROM& EXROM Extraction

hiya!
I've been working with the I-mate(XDAII,02) and basically it's end of life soon.
I've had HTC send us some of their new devices, the imate PDA2 and PDA2K.
is there anyway I can extract the EXROM & ROM from these devices.
I know previously, if i wanted to add my custom CABS to the EXROM, i had to wait till a ROM update was available for download before I could reverse engineer it.
But are there any tools available out there, so that I can plug my device into the cradle, and then extract the ROM to my laptop ?
not sure if this can be done, but i'm hoping so !
At the moment you can unhide the ExtROM using the old XDAII tool v2.2, but you can not unlock the rom, so you can't change anything.
what would it take to actually edit the EXROM?
I have WM 2003 ROM Editor, for my current device. it works a charm as long as you have the password.
There is no solution to this question at the moment.
Isn't there any news about that?
I've been looking aroud the forum and searching inside it but I couldn't even find a tool to unhide the extended rom.
I remeber I saw it should be just a reg key, but I do not remember which one.
Regards,
@fdpm
are you talking about himalaya ; then it's this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=8422&highlight=extendedromunlocker
it should work on Blue Angel as xda-rocks said (only unhide)
thanx a million

ROMs available from the FTP site attached to this forum. You need to do a bit of digging and use the search function.
thank you very much! i will look for it
I wouldn't recommend to flash the entire ROM just to get a different skin. If the flashing goes wrong, T-mobile will not provide any help (guarantee wise). It's not worth the risk.
I'm not the big expert here, but there must be a way to change it without flashing a new rom...
Most parts of the skins (nearly all?) are bitmaps in the windows directory. Store new ones and your Magician gets a new look. A problem could be that in the windows directory RAM and ROM are merged. A ROM file can not be erased but you can store a file under the same name in RAM. The original file in ROM will not be visible and used anymore as long as the file in RAM exists.
In my Magician the brandings are installed in RAM (from the extendedROM), so I can replace them. If I just delete them I get the original skins from MS stored in ROM.
If you have the IntelliDialer you have to notice that it is installed in RAM (from the extendedROM) so only deleting its files does not work (there are no others).
I do not know how O2 integrates its skins but I think they will use the same way as t-mobile so taking O2s (bitmap) files and copy them to your device should work. (Make a backup before to be save)
Hope that hepls a little bit

If you haven't already fixed your problem, here is the O2 splashcreen CAB.
Just copy it to your my documents and run it from there.
That removes the T-Mobile startup screen.
Then you can just do a search on these forums for some skins for the intellidialler and intellipad. I have a nice Apple based one that I found in a post on these forums.

Doesn't include pics, but easier to install...
thanks for the tip ,the package looks pretty sweetmand very user friendly
but mind asking..are these skins signed? or are they ment for nocet ROM only?!
cheers
They were signed using multifilesigner1.0 with SDKSamplePrivDeveloper certificate.
They wouldn't work for me until I signed them.
I don't think BUZZ created these skins, I may be wrong, but the post I found them on has an older date than BUZZ's. here's the link:
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5519
According to this they were created by BIBI, JUNI, and CHEFZ.
At any rate, thanks to whomever created them.
I found some more skins here:

and I created one (the ugly yellow one)
they need to be renamed, or added to the zip in my package..

Released: 3 UK Ext ROM

Find attached the Extended ROM of 3 UK.
Dont think that it's incomplete due to the small size, u ll find out that it contains several cabs.
I m sure many will find it usefull.
BTW i m still waiting someone's reply on how to dump a rom. I already tried few things with the tools mentioned in wiki but i m not quite sure if i m doing this right. I will really apreciate a feedback on this. Pls feel free to PM me...
Regards
Z£Y$
Many thanks mate. This is really appreciated. wish I could help with the rom dump but I am still learning myself. good luck with it.

Umm this is a slightly modded version that does NOT remove the wireless section from the today screen as the original does, and adds a few freeware apps that I use every day. The apps being:
Tcpmp
Total Commander
PS Shut XP
HTC Xbutton
PHM Regedit
and RAR Archive manager.
This is still in the same format as the above (the files only) and not in .nbf format as I simply don't know how to dump it / compile it. So it's for unlocked extended roms only.
For a guide to cooking your unlocked extended rom have a lookee here
I am using this rom on top of an original O2 Exec rom not the QTec rom used by 3UK and it installs fine. So it should work with any universal variant.
Happy 3'ing!

Have now made the ms_.nbf file for of the original files from Z£Y$ for flashing via RUU.
http://rapidshare.com/files/66799675/3uk_ext_rom.zip.html
And here is the ms_.nbf extended rom file for my own version that includes the apps above.
http://rapidshare.com/files/66989609/3uk_ext_rom_psidoc.zip.html
And here is the rom with all the streaming media bits n bobs already in with the browser string modded to suit 3 as well.

Thanks for these Guys.
I wish I could help with dumping the ROM too. I've been looking for the 3 ROM for months.
The 3 rom is a standard Qtek rom with the 3 bits n bobs added in the extended rom.
Basically you can use any WM5 (or 6 if you don't want videocall) of your choice and all the 3 stuff is in the extended roms above.
@Z£Y$ what version of Qtek rom is your 9000 using.

Re:
PSIDOC thanks for confirming this m8.
F***k the ROM dump then lol
BTW i m on:
ROM version:1.30.77 WWE
Radio version: 1.09
ExtROM version: 1.30.246 WWE
Is this the latest Qtek ROM version?
Regards
Z£Y$
Ah, I didn't realise this.
I had gone back to the basic Qtek rom quite some time ago to sort out issues with the web connection dropping out all the time.
I still have issues with being unable to get to My3 with the E61 block. I think this is something to do with certificates. I have no idea how to solve this.
I've asked 3 if they can provide it. Don't hold your breath though.
I contacted them today, they said they would get back to me.

Welcome mate. Re having the latest, I think you are, however have a lookee here (requires you to register.)
http://www.myqtek.com/europe/myqtek.aspx
@ Lakota,
The reason for the E61 block page is because you are using a web browser, not a WAP browser to view the pages on 3. I found this out eventually on my old nokia E61. Sadly the Uni doesn't have a Wap browser. Please refer to This post here for Z£Y$ method of getting around that. Personally I use Opera for a browser so i don't get the problem. You could alway just click the services icon and viola you get past the E61 block.

A Response To Your Find
An Interesting Find

@ PsiDOC
Do you get all the services using opera? such as "today on 3" and access to all "services" such as mobile TV??? I was not able to do so with opera untill few minutes ago hence i decided to release a guide.
@Lakota
I had very lenghty discussions with 3UK and the outcome of the numerous callbacks is that Qtek 9000 is not compatible by 3UK to use planet3. So do not expect a solution by them. However there is a workarond as i m describing here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341755
Thanks very much for the extended rom and for your guides, Z£Y$. It might finally be time to ditch my Orange sim and get a 3 contract sim I think!
Quick question though, as I don't know too much about the services 3 provides - are ALL the various services that are available on 3 working on the Universal with your guides/workarounds or are there still things that don't work 100%?

With regard to services I only really browse the 3 uk site to check what I owe and get the news etc so yes today on 3 does work. I haven't used the Mobile TV so cant comment on that. Opera is fine for doing that. I usually go in on mobile.three.co.uk and it automatically redirects me without the E61 block page.
With regards your fix for the streaming media most of the files for getting it to work should already be in WM5. If you like I can add the rest into the Extended Rom and have that do the registry change as well, so when you first setup and the customisation is performed it's all done for you. No fuss no hassle then.
If you want it, give me a day or 2 as it's a bit manic here today.
Psi
@PsiDOC
Yes m8 if we can add the procedure i.e registry fixes and files to the Ext ROM will be excellent. I m gonna give this a go myself as well if i have some time... BTW HTC streaming media is not included in my wm5.
@XTCrefugee
All of the services from 3 are working now!!!
Many thanks guys.
Some very useful information posted here. Much Appreciated.
Cheers.
Ok peeps, I would have had the streaming tv ext rom sorted by now, however I am having problrms putting the coredll.dll file into a .cab file for the extended rom. It's sending my PC into a 100% CPU loop. Everything else packs up ok, it's just this little monster that's giving me a headache.
Bear with me on this I will sort it.
Psi
m8 one thing to consider is that these dll files for the streaming media need only to be ADDED if missing. In my case i added only few of them and ignored the rest without to overwrite the existing ones. So if you ll make a cab file it will install all of them rather than installing only the missing ones .....correct me if i m wrong.
Ideally during instalation u should be promted about the existing dll files.
Regards
Z£Y$
I appreciate that mate. However what we have to consider is the varying configurations for user installations. I can set a .cab file for "if exists = skip install" on files which will bypass on install if the file is alrady present.
It's just that I cannot get this bloody file into a .cab file....
It's annoying me now. Been trying all night. GRRRRRR!

Streaming Extended rom is now done and uploaded to rapidshare.

[Q] How to cook a ROM for the Axim x50v?

I am new to Axims. I bought one on eBay, and I decided that I want to cook my own ROMs for it. I started here on HTC Geeks (can't post links yet, not enough posts): HTCGeeks Forum > Windows Mobile Pocket PC's > Axim X51v
ROM Cooking Outline
. I learned a lot from that, however I got stuck at the make_imgfs unreadable output problem (described by ChangeLing in that thread). I have tried using ImgfsToNb and it still doesn't work.
Basically, I want to be able to edit the Imgfs Partition of the .nb0 file, and repackage it into a .nb0 file. After I learn how to do that, I would like to learn how to edit the XIP.
Can anyone help me with this? Even other's cooked ROMs have things in them that I have no need for, such as Transcriber (I never use it).
I would like to know if there is a kitchen available (like the Portable Axim Rom Kitchen (which never worked for me, no matter what I tried), that works. I can also piece together a kitchen myself if told what tools I need and how to use them.
Bump! Bump!
