Announcing XDA-developers Special Edition ROM v1.1

Version 1.1 of the Special Edition ROM is now out:
Fixed:
- Based on O2 3.17.03 ROM: annoying reply to SMS bug fixed
- Everyone can now use GPRS
- Pocket IE opens GPRS connection
- Serial ActiveSync now works
- Minor issues and cosmetics
New:
- Brand new version of dbView tool
- EzWAP2
- Our own band switch tool for US users, switch between all three bands
(no guarantee your hardware supports it, but at least you can now try)
This is now officially the coolest ROM for you, no matter where you live...
See the mkrom page for details on how to build this ROM (difficult), or wait for some kind soul to build the EXE, and just download and run it (easy).

Thanks a lot for your effort. I've really enjoyed the possibility to create my own ROM.
Is it possible to get a look on the source code of that welcome.exe app? So far it 's the only closed thing in your package.
thanks

This version fixes most if not all of the problems some people had with the 1.0 release. Thanks to the XDA-developers for doing such cool work, and for making their instructions easy to follow...

The source is online: http://xda-developers.com/mkrom/welcome101-src.zip . The source for the welcome in the previous ROM was available too. Look at the mkrom page for details...
Let us know if you come across cool tricks we could incorporate in our ROMs too.

oh, to my previous post:
nevermind, my wish is granted, found the sources on the mkrom page.
thanks

update
jeff summers, you are a prince amongst men! Ta!

This is wonderful.
My PIE & ActiveSync over GPRS are now working well with this ROM + AT&T SX56 radion on my T-mobile USA device.
Thanks again XDA Developers, and Jeff for being so 'quick' with his help!
cheers,

Any more genious people out there who know where to get this from?? I'll learn german if I have to! Maybe it would be a good addition to the next version of the ROM!!
Respect to you all at xda-developers.com

Hoorah, the SMS caller identity thing has been fixed

Thank you
thank you

OK silly question...
I am here in the uk...
Last time i tried to flash my xda with the radio upgrade i lost all functions on the device and had to send it back to the service centre to be repaired...
If i run the exe that has beed kindly created is there any chance of screwing up my device again!...
I would be running via USB and the docking station that came with the decive!..
I want to do this but am a little worried after the last incident!...

thx for your great work.
is there any "diff" tool for ce, so that i know what ezwap2.5 or other programs (like an sms-counter) are installing exactly for using with mkrom?
if i got you right, then i need all files installed and all registry-entries?
is there any install-tracker on ce?
Jabba

Two questions:
Is EzWap version 2.5 MMS or 2
When you say:
"- Everyone can now use GPRS"
What do you mean exactly by this ?
Because we have a serious problem with our local operator: they "upgraded" the GPRS system (by Erickson) last week, and since then, all GPRS on Pocket PC's stopped connecting. Is the new ROM the solution ?

ezwap 2.5 has got MMS

is there a program on the new ROM which can open pdf files instead of acrobat reader?

Thanks Jeff and you wonderfull developers, This ROM is great and I didn't have to mess arround in UNIX to install it.

thx man gonna try it soon !
installed it but the autoconfig still doesn't work on my xda ?

SMS-Counter Software to include in ROM
u'll find it here (german thread in forum):
http://www.ppc-welt-community.de/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21372&highlight=smscounter
Try it.... it sits as small programm in the taskbar naming "start" (because it's right over the start button).. it runs always... taking nearly no cpu-time. when u start to write a sms then it begins to count (like nokia).

upgrading from 2002 to 2003

Hi, I am looking for an update for my XDA from 2002 to 2003. I know it is possiable since I ahve seen an XDA with 2003 system.
Can you pls help me with finding an update and instructions of how to do this?
Thank you.. I hAVE tried searching this site but could not find something that is clear to me.
Doron Reinis

The easaiest way is to visit
http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
choose the 2003 Rom that suits you best - country etc.
add the programs that you want and cook a Rom to an .exe file.
Copy all your network settings down to paper.
Then run and install the new Rom and then replace all your settings.
It really is very straight forward I managed it and I am not overly technical.

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
Cheers

All you need is Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=374

hey but Onyx rom 6.5 seems to be still in testing version so whats the point in making that upgrade and i already have an original 6.1 rom so what are you trying to tell me dude??
hard reset!!?
not the best answer

hard reset!!?
not the best answer[/QUOTE]
This error means that there a defect in the rom that cannot keep network settings and as you know things happen so either live with it or just hard reset (you can backup every thing before doing that)
were are only trying to help according to our knowledge

Bing!
Windows Mobile 6.5 is now stable.

~~ sorry for double post

alright sasa66 calm down..you'll are moi seniors so thanks for Helping me..
2 last question
(can i backup my windows 6.1 rom?)
(does windows mobile rom have a genuine key..or something like that//to be original kind. Or is it publicly available to use as free.)
thanks jeremy89632 and sasa66

To backup your device.
1) Use MyPhone
http://sn1-p1.myphone.microsoft.com/
2) Google Sync
http://www.google.com/mobile/default/sync.html
3) PPCPIMBACKUP

And no, Windows Mobile doesnt have a licence key.
And no, Windows Mobile is not (actually) publicly available, but whatever ROMs here can be used for free, with no time limit and such. (Something like freeware)
But you can still download it here.

We in XDA Developers just answer questions based on our knowledge on Windows Mobile, and we are not hired or called by Microsoft to help in this.
We just volunteer our technical knowledge and apply to this field.
I hope you understand our intentions, as it is not easy for us.
If you come to any part of text you dont understand, Google and its there.
And if google doesnt work, that is where this forum kicks in and you can ask questions here.

[Request] Toshiba Portege G910 / Original Firmware !

Hello Xda Users.
I am releasing a Windows Mobile ROM.
The device I've worked on is the Toshiba Portege G910
(probably many of you will remember my numerous questions in this forum. )
and..... Finally, after "years of study" I'm doing it.
The ROM si ready on my PC, but I still need an original (stock) ROM for this device, otherwise the new Rom won't work properly and I couldn't add very important apps to it (as for example the camera...)
A long time ago I found Stock Roms on the Toshiba website.
But now the link is not avaible anymore.
Please, can anyone upload for me (on any website) an original/stock ROM for this device?
P.S.
I also remeber that, a lot of stock ROMs for the G910, were stored in the forum section of "www.4pda.ru" but this website is in russian language and it's totaly understandable for me, even if I try to translate it.
Please, can any russian man simply search the stock ROM for me?
If you help me I will include you and your profile/website in the credits of this project
(Soon the Rom will be avaible here and on my website)

It seems to me that the official firmware isn't in the "4pda" forum, I found 2 links in another website (it's always russian...)
But the file has been removed by the File-Hosting service,
so...
my last hope is that some "ex-Toshiba-G910" owner stored it in his old Hard-Drive or PC... (please help)
For Toshiba :
I understand that so many years have passed, this phone is totally discontinued and of course you don't offer new support... But, why on earth do you eliminate even the old support already provided ?!?!

Update:
After spending hours for search it, Finally I found a working link to download this Stock Rom (required to make an updated one)
http://www.vitorrentz.cc/torrent/5705e027e0023749a584323e5061bca63bcb5fcb
I started the download but the speed is about 0.0 kbs/sec...
Why? Users, Could you just try if it works?
Maybe the download will work outside my country ...

How about this?
Removed - It was malicious, sorry

Hello Redorded! I have just seen the message!
I really Thank you for the !
Does your link was a Torrent or a File/sharing Download?
Anyway it's very hard to find this Stock rom but not impossible.
In fact I found 2 guys that have it but I can't see their e-mails because I can not use a site in russian!
Maybe... Do you speak russian??
Do Anyone have an account on "4pda" or on "unlockers.ru" ??
