...Third day I spend to find how to persuade mine i-mate to use it's extended ROM as backup image source ... Have some troubles, maybe someone will be interested:
1. I've started from filling extended ROM with .CABs needed by me. Great. It works but I want to have more. So for now I am "on research":
2. I have installed all needed software and configured mine device to consist of all needed soft and settings for me.
Than I made self extracted image of my device (registry, \Storage, \Windows, etc.) except of Storage Card, of course, by SPRITE SOFTWARE BACKUP.
I get about 10 megabytes self-extracting .exe, named (for example)
_install.exe and I have wrote it in ROM file and include in config.txt string like this:
EXEC:\Extended_ROM\_install.exe
but I meet some troubles, and stuck...
1. that self-extractor looking to place one runtime dll from itself in current directory where it is. Of course it can't (rom is readonly for it).
And it fails with the 'cant extract DLL...' error, and... That's it!
After that I need to install any RegEdit manually from SD card, change registry for Exteneded_ROM to be visible, manually copying file _install.exe from that ROM to \temp\, than run - and only after that I bring my backup image to life...
Does config.txt supports some kind of commands like COPY for me to copy that .exe from Extended_ROM to \temp\ and then run?
Or config.txt have no ability to make copies of files?
Than, hypothethically, I need another simple programm like copy.exe to do this manually from command line?
After all this I just expect to get restored image of mine Himalaya already packed with soft and configured for me...
Fellows, what you think about it?
One more: how to exclude config.txt from being visible in PocketWord if I want to left extended_ROM to be open? (for ex. I put there .exe's that don't require installation)?
Sorry for mine English
-------
BTW: GREAT LITTLE DEVICE, after first XDA it's like more oxygenic ... O3 (ozoned .
Yes, config.txt supports COPY commands, check this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6648
To make the ext-rom visible you can also edit one of the cab-files which only updates registy settings with WinCE Cab - Manger and add the registry setting to make ext-rom visible ( I think it is :
HKLM\System\StorageManger\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC
MountFlag 0 : but check this... )

WOW! THANKS! I supposed about CPY1: CPY2: cause I saw them in autorun.exe with hex editor... So It is! great... Let's try...
I'll write results here.
Only weary thing that I neen every time to rewrite all ROMs (somewhy when I delete Nk.nbf & radio rom and left only extended rom - upgrade will not end normally and device after hardreset enters into bootloader...
IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES! From empty Himalaya after hardreset I now recieve FULLY LOADED MINE device! even with setted up today and all else !
Wow!. .
Here is attached make_visible_Extened_RAM.CAB sized in 400 bytes - it will just only modificate registry to make Exteneded_ROM subdir visible.
Maybe someone will need it.
I've already posted this today and someone was kind enough to reply but now the original post has gone. Please reply again.
I uploaded my ROM image using XDA tools from my XDAII and attempted to open it using the ROM editor but it says that the passwords don't work that allow it to open.
Any ideas?
Thanks again.
Make sure you don't use the Autodetect type when selecting. Specify the particular file type from the drop down list when selecting the nbf file to open.
(I think that's what I said)
Thanks for that. Still no joy though.
What format does the filename need to be?
When opening a file in ER2003Edit, the file open dialog contains a 'Files of type' drop down list from which you can select the OS ROM (NK.nbf), the Extended ROM (ms_.nbf) or the Radio ROM (Radio_.nbf). Select the appropriate one here, then look for the file in the file list. Do not use the Auto-detect ROM option.
If, after selecting the file as stated above, the password still fails, then the password being used may be wrong.
So, using the Image Tool I select the source as Device Memory (current rom) and the source as any file name I choose on my PC.
When it gets to time left = 0:00 the file should be there? I chose to call it Original.nbf. The image tool doesn't say its done by the way, it just reaches zero. Is this correct?
When I now try to open this I get the password error.
Where am I going wrong?
Aaah now I understand. I missed that are using XDATools to obtain the file. So ignore everything I have been saying I thought you were using ER2003Edit to open standard nbf files. Files extracted using XDATools will be in decrypted form and won't need a password.
btw - XDATools is designed for use with the XDA I, not the XDA II. What is it you are trying to do?
Okay, now we're getting somewhere.
I want to extract my ROM, play around with it and write it back.
By 'playing around', do you mean changing the default installed applications? If so, you would probably be better unlocking the extended ROM on the device and playing around with that. You can find information about doing that by searching the forums. If you are talking about upgrading your software (OS), then you need to use the HimaUpgradeUt route instead of XDATools. My post here gives details on how to do that.
I hope this helps.
Hi all,
I would like to change my pictures at start up on my XDAII, it has the latest Rom and Extended rom, which loaded without any hitch at all.
I would like to put my wee logo as the second flash well in the middle, is it possible and if so, is there an idiot guide from a to b to do it.
I have read the threads in other places but I need more help than just to download a file, anyone take the challenge of assisting the techno challenged members :roll:
cheers
TJ
In the 'genuine englisg SE'thread I posted two neutral splash screens for SE.
All you need now is
1. download that zip file & unzip.
2. get the upgrade files you used
3. donwload the ER2003Edit tool
4. get the ExtROM password to open the ms_.nbf (hint: its in dcs's thread on the SE rom
Steps:
1. Open the ms_.nbf from the upgrade package using ER2003Edit by (in the file-open dialog) choosing 'Extended ROM' as the file-type and 'ms_.nbf' as the file
2. Load the splash-screens (splash1.bmp & splash2.bmp) you want
3. SAVE
4. EXIT (discard any error message).
Run the upgrade again.
Note: Instead up downloading the Splash screens, you can also save them from any other ms_.nbf you may have (featuring ie. an O2, Qtek, imate or T-Mobile logo).
hi, i followed the steps... but when i try to open the extended rom with correct password, it prompted me 'Error Accessing Image file'.. can you tell me what happen?
You should choose the "WM2003 Extended Rom (ms_.nbf)" in the file type.
1. Click File
2. Click Open
3. choose the "WM2003 Extended Rom (ms_.nbf)"
4. Then enter the password for ExtROM
4.1. Password: 0x20040305
Help it works...
NOTE
This is my first cooking, feel free to try it out.
Eventhough I've been testing it and the results are good, conditions still apply: Use this at your own risk :!:
Explanation
This version of ROM is basically a Sin.Merged.v2.0 ROM cooked with xda2jojo/toenailed's extended_rom compression method.
And the result is a fully automatic ROM upgrade which can be done within your XDA II, no PC needed (except when flashing).
The Difference
Sin.Merged.v2.0 :
- Manual ROM merging using ActiveSync (you need to use your PC).
- Extended_rom installed manually using either Sprite BackUp or run it one by one.
Xda2.HERY.mod :
- Automatic ROM merging (no PC needed) continued with automatic extended_rom installation.
- All done automatically following the hard reset after flashing.
Ingredients
ROM = Sin.Merged.v2.0.
Cab files = collected from Sin.Merged.v2.0's collection.
Extended_rom = compressed by xda2jojo/toenailed (using CrunchIt).
Methods
There are 3 ways to take you there.
No matter which method you choose, the end result will be the same.
Method A/B/C How To:
Download the Xda2.HERY.mod.A/B/C.exe
Flash your XDA II by running the downloaded file.
You'll be asked to perform a hard reset after that.
Soon xBackup will automatically start after a while.
Tap "Restore" tab, tick "All Data", open Storage (not Storage Card) and tap Start.
Then wait until it finished, and tap "YES" when it ask for a restart.
Then it will start installing automatically.
Don't bother with the debug pop-up window.
At the end, you'll be asked to choose your provider.
At this point, you HAVE TO choose one then tap "X".
Coz if you don't, it won't restart, and it will ruin the whole process.
If you don't, even another hard reset won't help since the config files in extended_rom has been changed.
Method A/B/C CAUTION :
Whatever you do, DO NOT tap or do anything during the whole process.
You are only allowed to tap "YES" or "OK" everytime.
During the process, NEVER tap anything unless you're asked to (including tapping the Start button).
Changes are made inside the extended_rom during the process.
After everything finish, I've created a file to reverse those changes back to its previous state (before the hard reset).
Therefore when you need to do another hard reset, the files inside extended_rom will be exactly the same as before.
So it is VERY IMPORTANT for you NOT TO interrupt the process except tapping "YES" or "OK" when it asked.
I have tested this method and the result is flawless, but always bear in mind: "Do this at your own risk".
Method A:
Xda2.HERY.mod.A.exe
Method A README.txt
ADVANTAGE :
The benefit of this method is you'll have plenty space in your extended_rom.
The free space can be used to put the cab files that you always reinstall after every hard reset.
DISADVANTAGE :
The downfall of this method is you won't be able to see the compressed cab files.
They will be automatically deleted after the process.
FUTURE MODIFICATION :
Just in case in the future you want to put more cab files into the extended_rom, you have to do the following:
- Unhide & Unlock the extended_rom using the Extended ROM Tools.
- Some cab file is self delete after install, so just to be safe, don't forget to change the cab file's properties to
read-only.
- Copy the cab file(s) into the extended_rom.
- Open config2.txt.
- Add the name of you cab file(s) in the FIRST line, I repeat, ... FIRST line.
- Example, if you want to add a file named "sample.cab", then insert this in the first line, CAB: \Extended_ROM\sample.cab
- Save and close the config2.txt.
- And for security, don't forget to always keep you extended_rom Locked (and Hidden if necessary).
Just in case if you want to see the compressed cab files, just run the ExtROM.exe file in your extended_rom and choose a
folder to extract (if your extended_rom is hidden, Unhide it first).
You don't have to run Unlock the extended_rom to run the ExtROM.exe, just keep it in locked state.
Method B:
Xda2.HERY.mod.B.exe
Method B README.txt
There will be a short delay before xBackup showed up.
Just be patient because a quite large CompactFlashBackUpNew file is being extracted and copied to the Storage folder.
ADVANTAGE :
The benefit of this method is you'll have plenty space in your extended_rom.
The free space can be used to put the cab files that you always reinstall after every hard reset.
DISADVANTAGE :
The downfall of this method is you won't be able to see the compressed cab files.
Because everything has been backed up in a backup file (CompactFlashBackUpNew), which will be automatically deleted after
the process.
Eventhough there's plenty of free space to put extra cab files, with this method, you have to install the added cab files
manually from inside extended_rom.
FUTURE MODIFICATION :
Just in case in the future you want to put more cab files into the extended_rom, you have to do the following:
- Unhide & Unlock the extended_rom using the Extended ROM Tools.
- Some cab file is self delete after install, so just to be safe, don't forget to change the cab file's properties to
read-only.
- Copy the cab file(s) into the extended_rom.
- Run it.
- And for security, don't forget to always keep you extended_rom Locked (and Hidden if necessary).
Method C:
Xda2.HERY.mod.C.exe
Method C README.txt
ADVANTAGE :
The benefit of this method is you'll be abe to see all the installed cab files.
DISADVANTAGE :
The downfall of this method is you won't have much free space left in your extended_rom.
FUTURE MODIFICATION :
Just in case in the future you want to put more cab files into the extended_rom, you have to do the following:
- Unhide & Unlock the extended_rom using the Extended ROM Tools.
- Some cab file is self delete after install, so just to be safe, don't forget to change the cab file's properties to
read-only.
- Copy the cab file(s) into the extended_rom.
- Open config2.txt.
- Add the name of you cab file(s) in the line.
- Example, if you want to add a file named "sample.cab", then insert this line, CAB: \Extended_ROM\sample.cab
- Save and close the config2.txt.
- And for security, don't forget to always keep you extended_rom Locked (and Hidden if necessary).
Just in case if you want to see the compressed cab files, just run the ExtROM.exe file in your extended_rom and choose a
folder to extract (if your extended_rom is hidden, Unhide it first).
You don't have to run Unlock the extended_rom to run the ExtROM.exe, just keep it in locked state.
Millions of Thanks to :
Sin for:
- the Backup.stg file of ROM 2.02.t1WWE.
- all the cab files.
- the genius discovery of merging between ROMs.
xda2ojo & toenailed for:
- the XdA2JoJo[1].v3.0.1t.cab file.
- the CrunchIt.exe file.
- the brilliant idea of compressing extended_rom files.
In conclusion, you guys are simply THE BEST !!!

Yes, Jojo, all three methods using xBackup.
But I believe you refer to method B.
For method B, the tricky part is, to make it all run in one step.
As we know, after a ROM flash, all will be back to standard.
I've already put the CompactFlashBackupNew file in the extended rom, which will be auto copied to the Storage folder, ready to be xBackup-ed.
After xBackup complete, you'll be asked to do a reset.
Then, where's the auto config part?
After the xBackup reset, you're suppose to MANUALLY go to Start, Programs, Communication, AutoConfig.
And to clear things up, you have to MANUALLY delete the CompactFlashBackupNew file in the Storage folder.
Plus for safety reason, just in case you accidentally change files in the extended rom, you have to Lock and Hide it, ... once again, ... MANUALLY.
Here's the tricky part, you don't have to do all those things manually.
Everything will be automatic following the hard reset after ROM flashing.
After the xBackup reset, you'll be brought automatically to the AutoConfig, which will bring you to another final reset.
After that, ... voila, you're done.
And the CompactFlashBackupNew file in the Storage folder will be automatically gone, plus your extended rom will also be automatically locked and hidden (you can always unlock or unhide it with the pre-installed Extended ROM Tools).
So no need for you to do step 2, 3, etc.
Only 1 step, and it'll take you to straight to the finish line.
So does the other methods, all in 1 step.
Can anybody tell me the passwords for these files? I want to use them on a german t-mobile device.
Thanks
Password?
What do you mean?
I didn't put any password.
Is it the password to open/run the file or to download the file?
The Password to change the country ID. I need a password if I want to change it in ER2003 Edit.
Or are there any other ways to do it?
Thanks Herry
For ur rom!!!
VIVA O2XDAID !!!
bravo hery go go go hihihi
Hopefully it works, Phreak.

is it Indonesian EXT-Rom only?
It's nice to know our gadgeter (indonesian) can improve the extended room for XDA. i hope we can make better one in next day.
but i've some question for u herry.
1. This rom is only for indonesian user?
2. wht's content in this rom? is it same like the xda2jojo's rom?
3. Any freatures are good in urs rom?
Just inform to you, i'm also cooking my extended room for indonesian only. but i'm not a programer. so it'll take long time.. he he.. i hope we can combine with the others.
btw.. where do u life? tinggal dimana pak?
for XDA2Jojo, i think i must learn from u so much more, buddy. would u teach me about cooking? ya... maybe about some philipine's cooking? ok, thank's b4..
Salut!
Iya donk, gadgeteer Indo jgn kalah...
Tapi kayaknya cara kamu ribet deh. Pake XBackup lagi... PELAAAAN nya ga tahan. Bisa mandi dulu, makan dulu & blm selesai juga. :x
Gue sendiri pake Sin Merged tapi ext romnya gue ganti dgn file2 sendiri kecuali Sin Merged v2.0.cab. Khususnya carrier files hanya gue tinggalin yg gue pake aja. Lagi tunggu Win2K5 nih... kayaknya the great Buzz baru saja release full 128 RAM.
Anyway, keep contributing! 8) 8)

Sorry for the late reply.
Allow me to answer the Q's:
1. Actually the only thing that make this one feels like Indonesian ROM is the AutoConfig cab files, which consist 3 Indonesian provider.
For other countries have to search or find the suitable cab file(s).
The rest (other than AutoConfig stuff) are all universal use.
2. Nope, the same thing about JoJo's version is the cooking method (using the compressed ext_rom). It's more alike to Sin.Merged.v2.0's version.
3. The good feature in this ROM is the ability to do it all automatically.
Thank you, hope it explains.
See ya again, friend.
MMS setting for mentari subscriber

so, once again anyone with working mms setting for mentari, please help me.
tks.
Hi there, flashed the rom on my XDA II using method C, was wondering if I got it correct. Whenever I soft reseted my PDA, there will be a prompt from PHM reset for me to reset the phone shortly after load up, as you can see it will be an endless loop if I did not choose "NO" when prompt to reset the phone on startup. Will like to know if this is normal ir did I do something wrong during the process.
Thanks in advance

Can you tell me what files you have in \Windows\StartUp?
Hery
What is the content of the file 'CompactFlashBackUpNew'?
Is it important
Did you actually notice a difference between merged and non-merged performance (with exactly same extended-rom)?

Yes, it is very important.
It contains all the extended ROM that listed in the other methods.
Like I said, all three methods ended up with same results.
Nope, I didn't try to put the extended ROM in merged and non-merged.
Since this already concluded by Mr. Sin that merged one is better than non-merged one, therefore I just use the merged one instead of the non-merged one.
Thanks.
For Atom / Atom Pure / Atom Exec: Use WinImage Version 8.1 or similar program to edit IMG file. There are many programs that can do it.
Do not touch folders found in this image file. Programs that depend on these folders are: FM Radio, AutoConfig, WirelessManager, Camera, Equalizer, Album (life), ImageEditor (life)
The version of the Extended Rom is taken from the text file:
061020_AL1ARCWWE_EX0604.txt
The name is picked up versionCPAapplet.cpl (found in Settings->System Info)
So far, I did not encounter any problems changing the version numbers
The default folder name for this partition on your device is \_QHiddenPartition\ However, when we unlock this hidden partition at device runtime, we can not use the same folder name to install programs and lock it afterwards.
Normally, I used this partition to place the cabs I want to install at hard reset. This is no longer a problem with the cooked ATOM/ATOM EXEC ROMs we made because, serialzs introduced MortScript to do the automatic installation of cabs found in \_QHiddenPartition\ and \cabs\ folder found in storage card.
It is not necessary, however, to unlock the hidden partition just to edit the contents at device runtime. You can always use Total Commander to browse this partion by keying \_QHiddenPartition\ on the location bar.
For ATOM LIFE users, you can simply remove the 12-byte header of IMG file, and WinImage 8.1 can be used to edit the file. You need to restore the 12-byte header prior to flashing your device again.
tj your are very kind ^^;
Last time i ask.you say search.
i use search but still confuse cause alot of topic.
but now you posted this info.
THANKS YOU
thank you,i'm trying to cook and release WM 7.0 tonight. j/k
How to remove or add programs being install in order??? I found that del *.cab to remove the programs and copy *.cab to auto install the programs from extended rom. But i don't know the file where listed the programs is able install in the extended rom at hard reset. In the past,when i cooked BA rom, i remember that i can edit the file include the paths of the cabs I want to auto install at flash rom or hard reset.

The script runs through all cabs present in the the two locations stated above. You don't have to edit any list like you do for AutoRun in BA. Also, AutoRun does not work with cab installation that require user interaction. Now, as for your question regarding the order they go - it's alphabetical.
Hi jiggs!!
You awesome! I have added my operator in autoconfig list, all work fine, now I have all settings for my operator!
THANKS A LOT!!
interesting in rom cooking, thats what i.m always thinking about,.
but i'm afraid to do this, i'm afraid i'll bring my atom unusable,.
thanks anyway jiggs,.

Open the file with an HEX-editor, cut the first 12 bytes and save the file. That's all.
You can use "XVI32". This Hex-editor is included in the original Scooter-ROMkitchen.
Hi all,
I use remotePROTECT as a security measure on my Atom - I find the program great.
It will be even better if I place it in extROM (hidden partition) so that it will install again upon hard reset.
I've followed the instructions that come with the software - they require me to place the program's CAB file in the extROM along with the setupE file.
I tried that - did a hard reset and nothing happened - didn't install.
I have an O2 Atom with an official ROM release installed.
Is there anything else I need to do? I note there is an Autoinst.dat file in the hidden partition, but it's encrypted or gibberish so I can't do much with it.
If I've overlooked anything can someone please suggest what I can do to make this do what I want - install itself again after hard reset.
Thanks in advance.

If you have read the first post carefully, then you will understand that this won't work because the built-in AutoInstall of the official ROM restricts to signed CABs only as defined by list with no known format as of this date. That's why we have cooked ROMs to bypass this and created another AutoInstall script. There are work arounds for your purpose but definitely this solution is not for you. You have to do some research on this forum.

you need to secure this from your operator.
although you can edit the xml files with notepad, I don't know if the GUID found there is important. you can also generate your own GUID to have a unique value.
select the existing xml that best fit your requirements and edit it. you can't edit the cabs found in the networks because they are signed. you need to provision your own cabs. it's more like provisioning certificates using cabs.

you need to secure this from your operator.

thank you very much indeed. I found xml files for defualt operator and also txt file wich list this operators. Gussed that first input my operator to that list and then create new xml. but i figured if any guide for what all of this xml comands mean and the whole format.
and another question : how to edit or change cabs? I have a background of programming with c++ and visual basic.net. Is it possible for me to create my own cab without too much effort? and with which compiler ?
tnx

It is not necessary, however, to unlock the hidden partition just to edit the contents at device runtime. You can always use Total Commander to browse this partion by keying \_QHiddenPartition\ on the location bar.

Jiggs,
I am using an atom life, I fould that I could not browse the extended rom with Total Commander. In my memory, I should be able to use TC to browse the extended rom on my ATOM EXEC. Do you know what I am doing wrong?
By the way, is it possible to unhide the extended rom?

You must simply type \_QHiddenPartition in Total Commander to switch to Extended ROM.
Btw: It's described in the Atom Wiki. You should read it.

Open the file with an HEX-editor, cut the first 12 bytes and save the file. That's all.
You can use "XVI32". This Hex-editor is included in the original Scooter-ROMkitchen.

Thanks!! The problem resolve after I remove the first 12 bytes.
For AtomLife ExtRom.img.
Anyone was successful to flash editted ExtRom.img of AtomLife with DSUU? If possible, could you please show me few experience to Update ExtRom via DSUU.
Ex: Remove 12bytes header/edit(add or remove anything can do)/restore 12bytes header. Then replace new ExtRom.img in \Window\temp\ExtRom.img and delete \Window\temp\FLASH.DIO while completed extract of DSUU running. Then imitate DSUU instruction. Is it right? This way, I cuccessed to new Flash.dio for AtomLife.
