Dear Xda-developers rom chefs,
We are a very big communityin Turkey, using LG Eigen GM735 products.It was a device sold to us by Turkish Telekom company, and this model is specifically modified for Turkey market.Our device comes with Wm 6.1 onboard, and some of us are trying to build our own firmware for wm 6.5 and above with our own efforts.We have a partially working firmware now, but it is lacking some disfunctionality , for example igo is not installing and working (device locks), but tomtom works and some other minor issues.
Our latest firmware is hxxp://wxx.4shared.com/file/oo2j9fFA/V10J_00.html
The weird thing is, there is an international model of eigen which is GM730, and this product has a native wm 6.5 rom.The wm 6.5 rom for gm730 Australia is hxxp://letitbit.net/download/3524.396f34c7606ae10f545bc44e6/V20B_00.rar.html .
As for us, neither Turkish Telekom nor LG Korea is willing to build a new wm6.5 rom for us.
There are some kitchens around, which we use for xip porting and cooking rom.We use the tools in the below links for our modified rom and we have lost more than a dozen of devices during our work.
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6253729#post6253729
And this is the link to our modified wm6.5 rom for GM735.
htxx://wxx.4shared.com/file/kbK3alPR/V27.html
We are willing to share information on which ways to follow to get a properly working rom.We even tried porting oemmisc and other folders from gm730 rom but we are making wrong somewhere.
One of our rom cookers is also stuck at some point and he says, he needs a wm6.5 gm730s spb backup taken after a hardreset.We will also be thankful to anyone who can do this for us, for it will help a lot for identifying problems on our own rom.
We are sure that there are very experienced users in this forum, who can check the roms from the links and tell us what is wrong about them.We are ready to share our experiences about this issue.So please lead us the way to wm 6.5.5, on how to achieve this.
Thanks in advance to all the xda developers community.
Edit : Please change xx with tt and ww in the links.
I doubt that someone will help you witout having the GM735.
It's quite hard to tell what's wrong with ROM if there is no way to test it.

Hello Everybody,
As we all know that GENE (P3400 and P3400i) are the cheapest Windows mobile phones available in the market and most of the people, who wanted to try this wonderful platform for so many years but didn't have the budget to buy the devices, have finally got their chance to try it. And one of the most luring upgrade for these phones is the Windows Mobile 6.1 ROMs, which are said to be faster and a little more feature rich than the Windows Mobile 6, which ships by default on the newer GENE devices, the Post March 2008 P3400 and P3400i phones.
Now all the ROMS that are currently on this forum, do not apply to these phones due to changes in the SPL and other parts of ROM. The version no of SPL, ONBL and OS for these apps varies between 1.10.0000 to 1.17.0000.
I can understand that it must be tough to crack these roms, but you are the heros who have done it in the past, and the reason for not being a single rom available for these phones is not this, according to what i feel. It may be ignorance, lack of time etc.
So on behalf of all the owners of these device, i brought up this appeal to all you that please take out some of your precious time and please try building a solid solution to this problem. Please try to port at least one Windows mobile 6.1 ROM (possibly with Manila 2D of Opal ) for these devices. I am sure many of us will feel greatful of you all.
Thank you very much in advance guys!
Regards,
Sumit Bhardwaj
Great News Guys! Ankit360 has found the ultimate working solution for upgrading newer P3400i phones to Windows Mobile 6.1.
Please find the method here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2985353&postcount=51
It will first make your mobile dead and then recover using the Orekflov's Unbricker and then you'll be able to flash it to the rom of your choice.
Currently, only one rom is available for the P3400i, that is LomLom's Fusion 9. Find a link to it on the same URL.
Enjoy!
Thanks for the info dude. Maybe I shall try cooking a ROM if I had some free time.
Regards,
Carty..
even im thinking...of cookin a rom...tell me da basic tools needed for cookin...ryt nw im usin lom lom fusion rom on my gene....
its better dat i start searching it from da forum
will update u guys !
EDIT: got da tools needed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371680...im starting to cook now !
Yeah!
Its very odd that there are hardly any cooked ROMs available in this forum! I joined xda vox forum and there are atleast 10 developers (No GREAT PEOPLE) who literally cook ROMs day in and day out. And most of their products are great, actually you will never want to use the Official ROM ever again , be it fh, fireburned or Dr. G (minus the Rose ROM ), sk.
I hope we will soon find some come cooked ROMs in this forum without the useless stuffs of official ROM.
Hey guys i have bought my new Touch Pro 2 mobile.. and so i am going to use my I-mate jam for making new ROM's for jam.. Request to all Magician ppl to help me to build rom what you want... you can tell me
1. Do you want a clean rom..
2. Rom with TouchFLO 2d..
3. Anyother..
will be waiting for your replys..
cant make the decision alone.. so thought of making a post..
Q: Do you know how to build magician ROMs?
If yes, please tell me how. (I was making few roms for friends kovsky, so i know what and how, but i have not found any way how to build for my magician)
A clean to the bone 6.5.3 ROM would be nice...
Or even Android!
P.S. I`m in for testing!
Android + 1, or 6.5.x with manila 2
I think andriod is to slow for the magician, and it would be to hard to make it for one person.
Windows mobile 6.5.5 is really nice. But I heard it is hard to unpack the magician roms. There is not any kitchen released. Only cotulla has succeeded making an magician rom so far..
Yes, but he is selfish and doesn't want to share his work with us. Lazy too. I respect his work but nothing new is posted since 2009... Like he is left this magician project...
Android sounds interesting.
I'd even like to help in any way possible, posted a message in the general > questions just today.
I'm doing a study informatica > software engineer, and for a schoolproject we have to write an android application ... don't have €500,- for some fancy HTC phone with android on it, so if we could kick my phone back to life (even if it is slow) it would be awesome.
Saying that, also like to add that i have enough sparetime to help you out with some testing, reading, writing/coding I'm not really experience with mobile phone OS ROMS so it is a good challenge and probly a nice sparetime project
I would that its a rom like htc touch 2,
The start button at the bottom
I fear also that Cotulla no longer is working on the Magician ROMs.
I hope I'm wrong...
A new ROM should be fingerfriendly and stable with all Radio-Software-Versions.
I love my Magician ! A solid Case , you became all Repair Parts for low Price and you can change them self . I would be happy , if someone could make a kitchen, with a chance to change the language . Good luck !
Mod. edit: as of now not dev related, moved to general
?
hey
i want to ask when the rom is finished ?
Please let me know
?

are you kidding me? what do YOU CAN MODIFY?
Tell me that you are not modifying Cotulla's roms, that is not cool dude.
Respect his work and wishes, either create your own rom or get permission from the big man himself before doing it.
DO NOT WORRY i DO NOT use Cotulla's rom!!!! i do respect his great work... at the moment im working on WM2003SE but i guess that same or similar procedure is used on WM6.1/WM6.5.... so i juct need to figure out way to build new rom form files that i have extracted...
any info is appreciated....
i havent found any kitchen for Magician, and kitchen for Himalaya or BlueAngel does not work on Magician... so sad...
ok that is great news, now I am sure there are guides for rom compiling available around here. I will have a look soon and report back
I cooked my own ROM based on Cotulla O5. but Cotulla doesn't allow it for the publication.
if you want you can publish your rom on www.techz.in
First of all I would like to send greetings to all developers who have skils and knowledge how to make happy all of passionate win mobile users. Big thanke You !
I am using htc universal. I had a lot of similar phones ( allways HTC ! ), but this phone had all before long 5 years!
So, I have bought HTC universal again after so many years.
PROBLEM IS NEXT:
My ROM is very old and it is on Italian language.
Yes I know, probably You all are going to say that there is plenty of toppics on site and to do some research, BUT I DID THAT before opening this topic.
There really is a lot of coocked ROM's, but links are to old and files are not existing anymore... I would like to upgrade my universal on wm 6.5, or 6.1...
Althought, I have found some coocked ROM's on other sites, but allways the same: CONNECTION ERROR, COUNTRY ID ERROR, THIS ROM IS NOT FOR YOUR DEVICE, etc...
Yes, I have tried with ManUpgrade tools, but the resolt is the same.
Also I have made SUPERCID. And I have tried to coock my own ROM, but with no success...
Please HELP ME ! Italian language is going to kill me !!
I know that this problem is old as snow before 2 years, but please, I am passionate user of Universal...
I beg for ROM with no Errors and with new link.
At this point, my devices informations:
VERSION ROM: 2.50.15 FLY
DATA ROM: 09/20/06
VERSIONE RADIO: 1.10.03
MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE !!!
hi
I searched wm site, but couldn't find any information how to update hd2 wm6.5 to 6.5.3.
I don't want to flash any custom rom. Prefer to stay with official rom.
Any solutions?
there is only one solution, cooked rom.
@OP: Are you in the US and on T-Mobile?
in Turkey. unlocked.
The T-Mobile website has this file available for download for free, but you have to be a T-Mobile subscriber. The download asks for your IMEI number as well, so I'm not sure if this makes a difference. I suppose I could try to zip up the rom installer for you and upload somewhere, but I don't know what kinds of issues you'd run into, installing a US based rom on your device. You may just want to wait until a version is released in your locale.
Let me know your thoughts and I'll figure something out with you.
can anybody advice if that will cause any problem for making T-mobile update to a non-Tmobile device?
yes you can run tmous rom on regular hd2.
no, there is not a 6.5.3 official rom. if that is the implication two posts up, it is incorrect.
I have found on my experience that cooked ROM´s from great Chefs at XDA are always much better than stock ones, sai that and if you want to try them, read the sticky posts on ROM section.
If you want to go back again to stock you can do it with no problem.
Good luck,
I think Windows Mobile kinda scrapped the project its finish but seems like carriers don't care about updating their devices since not much change. That I know the only device running 6.5.3 its the sony ericsson Aspen and some motorola rugged phone for sprint.
Hello!
One of my friends brought me an old Yakumo delta 300 GPS 2L PDA from Germany, to install a new WinMo on it.
Does anybody know how to do it? I really know nothing about doing such things, and all I could find about updating such a device was a german forum, with outdated links.
It would be very important for me! Thanks!
to build a 6.5rom for those devices u should make many files
one of the most importantes is NK.EXE that u can easily put that in ur rom with new Ervius kitchen
Problem is that I don't know how to do so. I have no experience in Windows Mobile, that's why I am asking for your help.

Its not so simple since you aren't exprenced with Windows Mobile devices. Its highly possible to brick the device easily if something goes wrong.
First the device should be CID unlocked so that you can flash custom ROMs.
Second you will need to find custom ROMs for it or else if you want to cook, you either need to get a stock ROM of it so that you can dump it, replace its files (i.e SYS and XIP), recook it using suitable kitchens, finally flash it but its not over. There are many thing to do. And I say again its possible to brick the device if something goes wrong.
I would better suggest to stay with what ever it has.
Since HTC is very popular, we research lot and minimize risks before doing anything but your device seems very old and not known much so its risky job.
As Mr.zeus said, NK.EXE is just a part or file of/in the kernel aka XIP. You will need many things to cook a ROM. Stock ROM of your device would be good for start.
Thanks...
Best Regards
Well, thank you very much.
Then looks like, I am shot here :S
Can you please give me any navigation system what should work on this device, and has maps for Hungary, Germany, Austria?
i can tell u one thing...my htc wizard is running wm6.5.3...so it is quite possible to hav new os on old fone.....
