How Do I Create an Extended ROM - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development

Hi
Ive done a search and what I found on this wasnt answered. I have software that needs to be put into an extended rom so if you hard reset it doesnt get wiped. I managed this on my P3300 but my P3650 wasnt able to do it.
Is the HTC Leo capable of having an extended rom and if so does anyone know how to create one. I have extract a lot of roms for the leo but cant find a _EXT rom in any of them to start from.
Thanks

2.10 ROM has "PINET_ROM" hidden partition.

No EXT Roms were left behind be HTC years ago.

Dave

Thanks a lot.

One question, I am also a nOOb
I have XDA Orbit (same as P3300) with installed Touch Flo software.
Can I install this rom?
Quick answer is......: YES
But don't forget that you will loose all your saved personal data and your installed programs.
And don't forget to read this also:

Prepare for really nOOb-ish question
I bought used XDA Orbit, and he has already installed WM6 Touch Flo.
What will be my next step, do I need only to install Tom-Oops-Black-v1.0-WWE?
I suppose that my XDA Orbit 02 is already unlocked
First you need to know what do you want to do...
Trying to explain to you, touch flo is just like a program installed with flo functions.
If you flash a new ROM, you must see if it has or not touch flo, wich programs it has standardly, etc.
Tom-Oops-Black-v1.0-WWE is not a program that you install... It's a ROM that you flash...
Explaining to you in another way...
Is like... You now have XP on your desktop and you want to have Vista. In the desktop case you have to install vista.
In the PDA case you have to flash a new ROM.
Did you understood? hope so :d

I have few problems with my O2 XDA Orbit
At least once a day I am unreachable. On Home Screen everything is normal, but people cannot reach me.
I checked for installed ROM :
WM6 Pro CE OS 5.2.162 (build 18521.0.7.0)
ROM Version Artemis Touch 3.01 WWE
Radio 03.07.90
Protocol 4.1.13.51
I would like to try new Black Ops ROM.
Do I first need to do this, or just install a new ROM

Do I need to format SD Card or not?
I there any tutorial how to install a ROM on the forum (please link)?
Sorry once again on my noobish questions, I still learning about all this.
I think it's better you run allways USPL first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
So RUN IT before flash the new ROM!!
Since you're going from one cooked ROM to another, flash the new ROM twice to make sure everything goes ok.
You don't need to format your SD card. BUT, if you have programs installed on it, they problably will not work.
Cheers
@Zecanilis
Thnx
I successfully installed Black Ops ROM.
First I run USPL and then I installed new ROM.
Everything is OK for now.
If you have more problems with network or if your battery is draining more than usual, try to upgrade your Radio ROM.
You will not loose any data upgrading your Radio ROM and can give you better reception and less battery drain.
See here:

Can you please tell me which Radio ROM would you recommend?
Now I have installed 3.08.90
I recomend you to try 3.21.90. For me and for most of users is the best choice.
This doesn't mean that is the best for you, but just flash it and see if is good for you.
cheers
Thnx once more for you more than helpfull post.
I will try new radio rom in next couple of days, first I would like to test this one just for comparison.

Update of Xda trion (wm and touch style)

Hello, I have an O2 XDA Trion which has WM5 installed on. I want to know how it's possible (or which is the best software/rom) to update its operating system to 6.0 or 6.1. I searched on the forum a little but did not find too much information since I'm a newbie on upgrading roms etc.
I also wonder if my XDA Trion could have possibilty to work like HTC Touchflo. The interface of Touchflo is great. Could you please give me some links where I can download the necessary files for these and the informations that I'll be needing while I update the system.
Thanks.
Welcome to XDA developers , Once you get the bug of flashing , its like drugs, you want to do it every day
All upgrading how to's can be found here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
the touchflo cube can be downloaded as a cab file from here. Basically you dont need to upgrade to wm6/6.1 to use the touchflo cube.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328010
if you want to upgrade to wm6.1 then you will need to cid unlock your phone to allow you to flash a rom than wasn't originally from O2, for that you will need this
http://pof.eslack.org/hermes-unlocker/
info about the unlocker can be found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665
As for whats the best rom thats anybodys guess,o2 have officially released wm6 for the trion , have a look in the wiki there are roms listed there
here is a link to the official o2 wm6 rom
this was uploaded by me http://rapidshare.com/files/82987999/RUU_Hermes_O2_UK_3.62.206.2_6275_1.50.00.00_108_Ship.exe
i am currently trying PDACorner Pro v17 which has no touchflo cube program but that can be found here on the forums , if you specifically want the cube included, then just look for a rom with it included or do as i have already said and just install the cube as a cab seperatly
Hope that helps
Thanks for the reply. That helped a lot to have a start. I'll do flashing at the weekend.

[PROBLEM] Cooked Rom stuck at boot

I am using ervius to build a rom, Everything works according to the kitchen except that it could not find the ppchanger. But that shouldn't be an issue. However, whenever I load it to the phone. It becomes stuck at boot. What am I doing wrong? Here's the build log.
Update: I moved the wincenls_wwe to my oem to no avail. still stuck at touch pro screen. Here's the latest build log after recmodding some files:
Everything seems to be ok and if it stucks in the first splash screen is issues related to XIP check your OEMxipkernel all the modules.... same format! check the MSXIPkernel all the modules same format!
i see you are addin manila but i couldn saw any manila pkg in OEM or EXT cause you dont have nothing in EXT and you just have OEM and SYS.. where did you get all of this OEm SYS and addons?
Thanks for your reply. All I did was dump a shipped rom. Then I tried to add a 6.5 build. The shipped rom had manila within the oem.
ok... first of all... wich device is it? wich rom was the original rom? 6.1 or 6.5? did you checked 6.5 real aku on the kitchen?
and yes dont forget to check the thread of how to make rom bootable..

Well I tried the Verizon XV6850_MR1_Upgrade_v2.0 for the Touch Pro. I am trying to create the rom for CDMA device (herman correct?) The original rom is 6.1 and I am trying to put the 21903 build. Yes I checked the aku 6.5. I've read the threads from others with the similiar issues. I've tried the recmod.exe in the Ervius tools folder, and I've also tried the recmod auto zip. I've downloaded and went through the list of sys files that can be recmodded with no luck. What steps exactly do I take to make sure that the oemxipkernel and msxipkernel are the same format?
Hi well it seems that you need to know this, if your dumped rom was 6.1 your kernel is not real aku 6.5 so you dont check that box in the kitchen

oh... so even if I am using 6.5 sys & xip.bin if I am bringing over the oem kernel from the base rom then I should NOT check it... Is that what you are saying?
Exactly!
If you dump the 6.1 STOCK ROM you will have xip.bin payload rromhdr.bin and OEMXIPKERNEL V6.1 and you will not check the the real aku6.5 on the kitchen
If you dump a 6.5 STOCK rom you will have everything in 6.5Version so you can check that checkbox... Why you dont take a look into the main stickie in repositories maybe you can find your Native 6.5 OEMXIPKERNEL and send to the hell the 6.1 version

So it doesn't matter if the 6.5 stock rom is not for cdma touch pros? As long as I choose the right dpi and of course remove gsm stufff then I can create a build for it? Am I right in my thinking?
yes the thing that makes the GSM or CDMA rom is in your OEMXIPKERNEL things and in your OEM folders
Wow!! This is some amazing stuff. Ok one more question, of late most builds do not include the oemxipkernels, and I've learned that you can generate this with xipport button in ervius. If i was to use this, and i port the os.payload & the build's xip.bin, should I check the box that this is a native 6.5 kernel?
Touch pro is the FUZE isnt it?
Why you dont ask in Da_G thread for the Native 6.5 TOUCH P kernel
i cant remember well but i guess i saw it
you dont need to do that the kitchen ports the xip.bin payload bal bla bla autopmatically for you
Just want to say thanks for your help. I find your insight very helpful. I will start from scratch and see what happens. Thanks again.

HTC Elf Original Rom

Can anyone help me. I got an htc Elf not long ago and I've flashed it from wm6 to wm6.1 to wm6.5 and back to wm6.1 and now want it back to its original state. is there a rom outthere that's got the basic apps n stuff. can someone post a link n pics. I want a uk rom im on o2 let me know asap
There are many original roms, you'll find them reading the stickie from kokotas.
I looked at a very old post and found an original rom but not been able to download it. can u post a link to point me in right direction
Did you go to the first thread in this forum like i told you? There are the only links i know...
Origional ROM
Here it is http://www.4shared.com/file/7Vlr1WMm/HTC_Touch_WWE_ME_2204561B.htm
You can also download the original Elf ROM from HTC website http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-touch-gsm/downloads/ by Entering your device Serial No. Which can be found in the battery housing
Hi
can we load our original rom (link given above by user) ?

Yes that's possible and you can Flash your device with original ROM If you have a custom ROM installed.
I did it several times, try it, there should be no issue.
it recently failed to Flash Origional ROM on my device but device still works and there is no issue with my current ROM.
I didn't got much time to figure it out though but i suspect its either because of HSPL 3.14 or connectivity issue with Synch on Windows 7, i will try to downgrade HSPL to 3.10 and try to Flash Origional ROM again.
Indeed it's Hspl that prevents overwriting spl from shipped roms (custom roms don't have spl). If you want to flash a shipped rom you need to remove Hspl and use Uspl.

[Q] HD2 changing security cooked rom to allow hotfix install?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I have had a look and googled and can not find anything.
I have noticed a few issues with the cooked roms I produce. On my thread one user noticed that you can not install a hotfix onto a cooked rom.
To get arround the problem I know you can add the hotfix in as an ext package in oskitchen, but it is a bit of a pain if you need to re-cook a rom each time you want to add a new hot fix.
Is it possible to change the security to allow a hotfix to be isntalled on a cooked rom after it has been flashed?
Using osKitchen leo 3.14 wwe base image HD2
I'd suggest that you get the hotfix and transform into a cab, and offer your users as a cab.
Brgds
Cool, thanks,
I know other roms talked about updating security I think Dutty is one that comes to mind. I thought this may have had something to do with it.
