How to flash Original o2 Rom without running branding

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.

Did so cook SPB mobile shell in ron 6.1?

Hello,
Did someone put sbp mobile shell in a cook rom?
I try do it but sbp don't work's.
I don't know why. It's like some dll are not used ?
any idea ?

Since its not freeware, it's probably not reccommended to cook into a rom. Why dont you just install the cab?

It might be able to be cooked in but Its not FREE ware so cooks will not cook it into a rom for distribution.
If you want it cooked in, then you need to check out the links for the kitchens and start cooking.

yes...it's good...but sashimi is better...it allows you to install cabs automatically also on the SD card...

Cab via activesync is the easiest way ------- right click & cabvia activesync!!!

I thought sashimi was a japanease fish

try this link
Install Express 1.5.3, Automation program installation CAB files

the true problem in fact is keeping all the settings around the phone and (for example) all the unlocked stuff on your videogames

Moved this out of Dev to the normal blackstone section

I can't install nothing!!!

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.

try to run it directly. Create shortcut:

check security setting too:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies]
; Disable the security warning
"0000101a"=dword:00000001
check others there too

Lol was about to ask the same

Won't boot properly!

I'm a real noob when it comes to installing ROMs, so it had to go wrong.
After i had got my new Huawei u8800 i started customizing it so it would look like i wanted to. I rooted it, downloaded ADW Launcher and some themes, but after a while I ran out of space on my phone, so I decided to delete some of the system apps i didn't need. I started of with some simple apps and after a while I thought i could delete the regular launcher app since i got the ADW Launcher. And so i did and everything worked as it should. But then, by an accident I hit factory reset and my ADW Launcher was deleted from my phone. I now didn't have any launcher.
So what I need help with is:
When I boot my phone now it's just stuck on the android loading screen. It won't go any further... How can I get it to work again?
Please help!!!
