I know, this issue has been already treated in other posts, but up to now, I have not found a solution on how to unlock Extended ROM on the magician. Is that just one of those cases: "it is not possible".
Or did I oversee something somewhere else in the forum ?
Cheers

it is not locked.
it is just a section of the flash rom.
you can flash it using 'pflashrom' - i did not put a compiled version in itsutils, since i am afraid people will mess up there phones with it. if you are knowlegable enough to compile it, you can probably use it sensible enough not to break your phone.

Since it is ROM (Read Only): does it mean, I can't write anything to it ?
Excuse my dumb questions.
I can see the Extended Rom either directly on the MDAc or thru Activesync with explorer. Thats not the problem.
When I try to copy something, it says that it is write protected.

Hi itsme,
where can i wind the pflashrom source please?
I looked in wiki and in your site, but cannot find it.

it is pnewbootloader.exe, renamed to 'pflashrom.exe'
see http://nah6.com/~itsme/cvs-xdadevtools/itsutils/src/Makefile and http://nah6.com/~itsme/cvs-xdadevtools/itsutils/src/pnewbootloader.cpp

Hey Willem,
Okay, i have to compile these textfiles into a program? Using what? I'm a kind of person who doesn't ever do any hacking or programming but i heard a friend of mine say that you can clear the extended rom so you can use the memory as working or storage mem. i would like to... Any tips?
Cheers
Hey itsme,
I have been looking through your code for this and I have a question. I notice you are referencing specific addresses. I have a HP 6515 on its way and working with someone that has one, it seems to recycle alot of the Magician. Can you give me some tips on how to find the specific addresses on this device? Thanks.
Ok I want to do a full Backup of my Herald, so if it crash that i can go into Windows, fire up a program, pressing "restore old ROM" and it is the way i had backuped it.
I know some programs, that are storing backup datas like sms,contacts etc. - but thats not enough for me.
So is there a program that can fulfill my needs?
( and yes, i read a lot in the forum here - but i didn't found anything or i'm just a bit blind )

So does it dump the whole ROM ? I'm currently playing around with mtty... but its hard to find informations on the avaiable commands etc.
It does not make a ROM backup.
well then its gettings weird and im starting to feel pretty sad about the Herald

When you do a backup of your ppc with spb backup, it will backup everything that is on your device (ROM) that is not part of the ROM itself.
It means that all programs installed after a hard reset, all the databases (mails, contacts, notifications,...) all the registry, and all files not being part of the ROM.
So if you do a hard reset and you restore the backup it will be exactly the same as it when you did the backup. And I think that it is what you want.
Caution, if you do an OS up/downgrade, your backup is useless. This backup cannot be either installed on another device.
Cheers,
Fred
ok sweet - ty fred. another question: what if i changed the ROM - how to backup that ? no solution yet?

This is device dependent. With some of them, it is possible, with others it's not, for several reasons. If you don't find tools or someone who managed to do it and provided the way to do so, well you're stuck... I think dumping is not the biggest problem, the real problem is the restore stuff. Sorry, but it is so.

Fred
hehe ok ok - i would be a step closer to my goal if i would find a way to unlock the ROM/ break into, so i can change files in there...

What do you mean? If you're talking about doing it 'live', forget about that. But if you're talking about changing the contents of the Rom before doing the upgrade, well the tools are already existing and kitchens too (depending on the device)

Well ok - i searched my ass off through the forum, but i didn'T found any solution to get my current WM6 ROM out of the mobile phone ( so i can edit it ).

It should be an official Rom, am I right? If it is the case, download it on the official site and use NBHExtract to get the dump of the .nbh file and rebuild it. Have a look in hermes forum and in xda-wiki
Cheers,
Fred
Yeah it is official, but the thing is: there are no downloads avaiable yet. and thats the point so i'm a bit stucked here...

On the wiki page, I found this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Herald_Upgrades
hehe been there almost 6 times today - and if you try to download them, they would fail.
And the thing is: my current ROM versions exceeds hell of the versions on that page. so why should i use the old ones ? thats not really what i want to :/

Hi
I don't want to install a whole new rom at this time
I am using the O2 UK WM6 Rom
WHats the best version of cube, htc home and scroll to install please
I've been searching but there seems to be loads of variations
I want to try this before going down the new Rom route
i have been where u are now
a word of advice m8 these developers know what they doing and if u upgrade that 02 rom it will slow to a halt thats why they tweak the whole thing to make it run well
i installed a rom 2 daays ago and it was 2 clicks they compiled everything together unzipped folder and click this then click that took 20 mins and the cube is flowing nicely http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342298&highlight=Artemis+Touch+3.01+full
theres what i used it even has all the extras built in alternative networks etc only thing i added was htc to get custom tabs i like cartoonie ones
hope that helps
Also im a noob user not an expert found it easy
I would pm meschle to ask him about his roms, but right now I dont wanna bother him w/ petty material questions. Meschle, I wish the best for you and your family.
So if anyone else w/ experience can help here's my question:
I downloaded his Artemis 3.01 Touch lite ROM and unzipped file. Now what do I do? Do I need to install the EnableRapi and Cert_SPCS cabs before going to step 1? Do I need to run Artemis_USPL first seperately? I borked my SMT5600 trying to put a WM6 rom on it and am very weary of doing it to my precious Artemis.
If anyone could help w/ simple instructs also thanks.
BTW,
My phone is
ARTE100
WM5
ROM 1.12.405.1 WWE
Radio 02.67.90
the Touch ROMs, when unzpped has 2 bat files. It's clearly named "step1", "step2".
Just follow. Shouldn't go wrong. Step1 is actually the USPL.
Ok got it to work but, man, what a wild ride. It's really fast and I recommend doing this ROM update rather than trying alot of cabs.
Hays, its well worth just doing the ROM update. If you use Meschle's ROMs, they are fast and soo stable.

so, is there a way of installing bioscroll/cube without changing the ROM? I can't use the USB cable to connect to a PC (i have to copy cabs onto Micro SD, then install). My USB circuit has blown up from charging in the car so syncing no longer works, and phone is out of warrenty!

i meant that i cant change the ROM, so i would need to install it onto the ROM i am using (standard T-Mobile WM5 ROM)
Is this possible? if so, could someone link to the files/thread, i have searched but not found seperate files, only ROMs.

O.K. i have looked for the answer to this question and the closest i can get is from a post in 2006 using Hypercore. So with that said i am sorry if i am overlooking the the answer somewhere. i love the WhiteStone_WM6.5_D4C2_21905_COM2_PV built by "pdaviet".The problem is that I would like to open this rom and add a couple of thing to it wrap it back up and put it back on my phone. How do i do this. i have been trying to figure this out for 6 hours now and i am about to lose my mind not to mention my eyes. any direction somebody can point me is appreciated.
Try this method, and ignore posts that say you can't dump protected roms. You may need to change settings, depending on the device.

Depends on what device you use. Not an easy task if you have no idea how the cooking process work.

thanks for quick reply i would like to adjust it for hd2.
I got this kitchen customized only for TP2 devices. No time to adjust it for HD2.
BTW Anyway even if you would have such a kitchen for HD2, I don't think it will be any usage for you if you don't know how cooking works...

thanks again i only need this to add few apps in a custom rom.i dont know much about cooking but i am trying to learn with help ofnice people like you.
Just install them by using cab files. Much easier (and safer!).
Recooking roms is not something you are able to learn in a day or two.

i know it is not easy but can you please tell me how can i modify this to extract leo rom.thanks
You're gonna need to modify the ini files in the tools folder. I think you'll need to add the HD2 to the list in htcrt.ini and htcrt_devices.ini, and then get a Leo.htcrtproj file. The easiest thing would be to download a Leo-specific kitchen and get the files (or maybe the settings that you need.). I've never done it before, but it looks pretty easy. Just open the files with notepad, and you'll see what's missing.
thank for reply .i will give it a try,
I own an htc shdaow and would like to know how to merge two roms i hvae or edit it...please help is need to put this phone to rest...
Please explain your situation a little bit more in-depth; what is it you are trying to do by "merging" or "editing" the ROMs you have?
Well...
i have a wm 6.1 rom and a 6.5 rom and wanted to merge the two cause some of the apps on the 6.5 are need on the 6.1 and vice versa
And with the editing i would like to edit the 6.5 (which is easy i think) so i can add some apps and remove some so forget the merge i just want to edit a rom
link to rom http://wiki.allshadow.com/index.php/Shadow_6.5_Red_rom
Well. To simply put it - Find the fora about your device and read, read, read and learn about your device.
Then learn how to cook for your device.
If I was in your circumstance, I would dump the two ROMs and then look through the files that make up your ROMs.
For instance, I would take the first ROM and dump it. I would then create a kitchen with those files.
Then I would Look at all the extension files that are created with those ROMs, seeing if there was anything that I could use.
I cook for the Wing/Herald - a legacy device. I use packages from the Touch2 (Mega) ROMs; I use a vast majority of these packages to help keep my Wing updated.
Thanks but i learn how to cook them but the problem is that i have to sort them or something..is these a easy way to do this?

Nope, there is no magic wand for cooking!
also make sure the roms you are trying to merge and edit are stock roms and not custom roms made by you or anyone else.. because dumping a cooked rom is not possible (yet)
The HTC Shadow is a pretty old device now. I have one myself and cooking for it is definitely not easy. Best way to do it is to get a NBH editor type of tool.... dump both ROMs... and just insert the apps u want from another into the other. If u REALLY want to cook for the Shadow... erofinch made a kitchen a while back, but it's a big hassle to cook the normal way for it. I'd say install your apps via .cab and get it over with
p.s.
