HI, good evening, it is evening here and i decided to have a GO at SIN's V2..using his SETUP file. which is the easiest.
HE STATES that this is FOR AUSTRALIAN USERS only, this is due to the fact that AUTOCONFIG only supports AUSTRALIAN CARRIERS. I have no problem with that because i will just EDIT the AUTOCONFIG Later to load either SMART or GLOBE settings, the carrier here in the Philippines.
MY BADDEST mistake was, i didn't BACK UP a copy of the globe or smart CAB files and the original autoconfig. HEHEHE. My XDA is upgrading as i Type this in another PC pf course. AND IM WAITING for A KIND SOUL TO POST the CAB FILE for SMART and GLOBE carriers here in the Philippines..IT IS LOCATED IN YOUR EXT ROM. And could you also include your AUTOCONFIG file pls. THANK YOU.
I think the CAB files i need look like this...SMART???GPRS.CAB and SMART???MMS.CAB and GLOBE???GPRS.CAB and GLOBE???MMS.CAB and there might also be other SMART and GLOBE files CAB that will load favorites for IExplorer, and please also include your AUTOCONFIG.TXT.
WAITING FOR YOUR POST
Here are the cab files that you are asking for, I also included config file along with autoconfig just in case.
thanks FERDS
will be downloading this as backup...anyway..i solved it, but i had to learn EREDIT fast..hahaha...i opened some MS.NBF from posted ASIAN extended ROMS and extracted the smart and globe cabs from there also the autoconfig text file.
but thanks anyway...youre a kind soul.
Ferds,
How about Suncellar Configuration. Is there a cab file for this carrier?
Thanks to whoever can upload the cab

Sun Cellular doent have a configuration for xda the cabs included in the zip .. is a self made cab files for SUN created by me.. i done it by comparing my configuration with my nokia 6600 .. it is not yet fully tested .. i only test it with my xda2 but still i havent found any problem using the AutoConfig..so PLSSS Backup first your XDA before using my version of AutoConfig .. and PLSS dont blame if you experience hard resetting after you use my cab
BTW u still need to call Sun Hotline 200 for MMS and GPRS Activation
and Still need to Text ACTIVATE (all caps) to 2300 for Internet GPRS Activation..
and do this over and over again (Include Calling the Sun HotLine) until u find a G in your Connectivity Notification(when u click your Signal ICON) it means your GPRS is already Activated.. (on moi .. it took me 2weeks before SUn Celluar activated my GPRS) :lol:

u can remove default.sa.CAB , 6inone.CAB .. and the Settings [Default]
i only include those in order to avoid further conflict with my configuration ..
heres my detailed explanation of default.sa.CAB and 6inone.CAB reasons why u should and should not include this line:
default.sa.CAB - restore your _default.htm to its original state(smart configuration change your _default.htm and include a link to their site), it also set your today skin to O2.tsk and added/overwrite links to O2 Mobile Portal http://mobile.myxda.com/portal and Pocket PC Websites http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmob...esssolutions/wifi/mobilefavorites/default.htm to your Favorites
6inone.cab - replace/restore your phone Skin with O2.tsk and replace/restore your Splash screen with XDAIIs (not XDAII), it also set your today skin to O2 .. this is a much bigger file because it include all gif for Phone Skin.. the Splash1.nb and Splash2.nb, and the O2.tsk, it also sets your GPRS to CHAP authentication and Class 8 Slot which i think .. is useless because Smart_ALL_100104.CAB, Globe_All.sa.Cab and Sun_All.sa.Cab set their own settings for that, i didnt find any problem removing this cab (its 740kb)but still if you want to avoid some conflict dont remove it
one more thing .. all the settings here are for ArcSoft MMS Composer 2.0.0.xx (including version 2.0.0.20).. it is not applicable for older version of MMS Composer
cheers

I had a hard time to upgrade and modify my xda2 so I decided to make a small tutorial for everyone with the information’s I found on the forum. It’s not perfect but it could help.
Thank's to every one who made all this possible!!
Before starting I recommend every one to make a back-up of your rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4608
1- Extended Rom:
Your XDA2 has an Invisible Extended Rom in the device containing the operator’s configuration files and software.
Modifying it will allow you to customize the boot image and to choose the programs you wish to install during the setup of the device.
To show the extended rom on your device your need to apply this small hack and then open your file explorer:
http://www.ppcw.net/index.php?itemid=1638
2- Files contained in the Extend Rom:
Broadcast_WWE.sa.CAB:
Seems to only set the CellBroadcast setting to enabled or disabled. (I guess this refers to the Reception of News via SMS by selecting channels of interested. Quite expensive I think and only interesting for phones that do not have any other capabilities of receiving and displaying information).
T-Mobile NL sets it on, with O2 it's switched off.
CallerIDRC11_WWE_1.5.sa.CAB:
Installs the CallerID application from IA Style and the Photo Contacts extension. There are other programs that are able to provide this functionality but I use it.
CameraRC131_WWE_1.5.sa.CAB:
The camera application for taking pictures and recording videos. AFAIK there is currently no alternative to this one, you should leave it in your ROM.
GPRSMonitor_WWE.sa.CAB:
Includes the GPRS Monitor from SPB Soft. Very useful I would recommend it unless you aren't going to use GPRS anyway.
MIDI56.sa.CAB:
RingTone plugin player. Allow you to play back RingTones in the following formats: mid,3gp,mp4. Also seems to register the audio/midi MIME type for playback of midi files directly from Internet Explorer.
By default the XDA can play back only wav and wma audio files (AFAIK)
MMS1507_WWE.sa.CAB:
Installs the Arcsoft MMS application for composing and sending MMS messages.
VideoMMS.sa.CAB (not contained in Qtek):
Installs the "Video MMS.exe" file into the Windows folder. When you start it you are in camera mode immediately and after you have recorded a picture or video you get into MMS composition mode.
This seems to be just an easier way to compose MMS messages since the main MMS Application (see above) is already able to compose MMS messages.
OEM_AKU1_WWE_4AP.sa.CAB (named OEM_4AP_WWE.CAB in Qtek ROM)
Installs the following files: GPRSAuthentication.exe, BTSetting.exe, STK.exe and WModem.exe
I am not sure if these are customized versions or if the normal ROM doesn't contain them. Well perhaps not because these are specific to the Phone edition so they can't be present in the main ROM, maybe they are contained in the Radio ROM, but probably they are only contained here, meaning you shouldn't remove this cab file.
OEM_WWE_03120301.sa.CAB (named OEM_WWE_03122301.sa.CAB in Qtek ROM)
Installs files for Bluetooth: AudioGW.dll, BthASPlugIn.dll, rilgsm.dll, Serial3.dll and Wavedev.dll. Also contains the new feature of mapping a (dynamic) serial port for BT.
I think you should not remove it.
TM_phone_class10.CAB (not contained in Qtek):
Installs several registry settings regarding phone functionality. (See my other post regarding this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=5539)
TMCOMREG.sa.CAB (not contained in Qtek):
Contains some of the settings contained in the previous one anyway. I'm not sure if it does anything else but I don't think so.
TMD_AP_NL.sa.CAB (not contained in Qtek):
Implements several settings specific to T-Mobile (NL): Restricts video types for MMS. Adds connection and gateway settings for MMS connection via T-Mobile NL. Adds a T-Mobile profile to GPRS Monitor.
I would not install this cab unless you live in NL!
TMD_NL.sa.CAB (not contained in Qtek):
Sets the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\3rdversion\MSYSTEM1 value to the provider name.
Not required!
TMDNLCustomize.sa.CAB (not contained in Qtek):
Adjusts all the "theming" stuff: Changes colors, installs Today-theme, installs T-Mobile Dialpad, sets T-Mobile ringtone.
If you don't like you xda2 look like a pink pig you should leave this out.
(You can extract single items from the cab file if you like)
t-mobile_shortcuts_only(UK).PPC2002_ARM.CAB (not contained in Qtek):
Contains some strange things that seem to me rather useless: "WebDisplayText t-zones", "T-Mobile Resetter.exe", "T-Mobile PIE Launcher.exe", "TMobileWebToday.dll", "T-Mobile Homepage Plugin".
I wouldn't install this one!
Version_AKU1.sa.CAB (Version_AKU1_160.sa.CAB in Qtek):
Seems to only set the version number of the extended ROM in the registry.
3- Modifying and editing your Extended Rom:
Most of the latest XDA2 have a write protected Extended Rom
A) For NOT Write Protected Extended Rom:
If your XDA2 Extended Rom is not write protected just add the new files you want, you can find on the forum many different extend rom files (O2, T_Mobile, Orange) and kitchen your own extended Rom by adding the cab files directly in the Extended_rom directory and soft reset.
B) For Write Protected Extended Rom:
The only way for the moment (until we find a way to make the rom writable) is to use the upgrade programs used by the operators and ER2003Edit program.
1)- Download
http://www.c1au.com/iMatePDAROMS/ruu15283.zip
or
http://www.clubimate.com/Support/ruu113sku1.zip
2) Simply unpack the complete T-Mobile Rom update file (it's a zipped EXE) into a folder.
There you will find these 6 files:
- HimaClearJumpCode.exe
- HimaGetDeviceData.exe
- HimaUpgradeUt.exe
- ms_.nbf <----- this is the file which holds Ext Rom!
- NK.nbf (main rom)
- Radio_.nbf (radio rom)
3) Delete the other *.nbf files to prevent updating the full XDA2/MDA2 rom. You only need "ms_.nbf" and the "*.exe" files!
4) Now modify the ms_.nbf with the tool softworkz kindly provided.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/ER2003Edit
5) After this, install the modified ext-rom to your XDA2/MDA2 by starting "HimaUpgradeUt.exe" and follow the instructions!
6) If you get a country code error during the install you will need to modify the country code included in the ms_.nbf file
- Download xda2nbftool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=5563
- Put xda2nbftool.exe in the same folder as your ms_.nbf file
- Run xda2nbftool.exe from Command Prompt and type the following command
xda2nbftool.exe -so O2 -v ms_.nbf
Replace O2 by your operator’s name (ex: orange, O2 etc)
It should now work!
cheers,
Yann
nice one Yann
Thanks
I had a go at doing the "if your extended rom is protected"
I down loaded the file
1)- Download
http://www.c1au.com/iMatePDAROMS/ruu15283.zip
and accidentally ran it.... I know I was stupid... I now have an I-Mate instead of a XDA - O2. Please help can I get the O2 back is there a programme that does the same as the one I just have used. It has changed every thing the radio stack, the other bits of software, I am just pleased it still works of calls.
I couldn’t find the indivuiual HimaUpgradeUt.exe programme any ware.
Please help I am really stuck at the minute!!
The bit I didn’t understand was the bit about unpack the exe. Which I now understand how to do. Although I have upgraded to Rom 1.52.00wwe, radio version 1.06.01, I can haply say I have the original O2 rom back in place with additional programmes installed in the Ex-Rom. I had a fair bit of space so I popped some music files in as well!!!!
Thanks for all the help!!!!
thanks yann for the perfect summary
as newby i needed something clear like this to dare my first rom changes, and i successfully did!
it would be even more perfect if also somehow the program settings/passwords could be cooked in/restored from the extended rom. i searched the forum but could not find any hints.
Are there methods for this ?
Perhaps a silly question, but I'm fairly conservative when it comes to messing around with my device.
How do you find out or know if your Ext ROM is write protected or not? I know that I can add applications to my Ext ROM and it does not seem like I should be able to do that if it's write protected, but then again I'm not sure if this matters.
Ed
ed, if you can copy files to your ext-rom via activesync, it is per definition not write-protected.
your not that conservative, because you already run a tool or edited the registry to be able to see the ext-rom
ronald,
Well I guess you are right I do like to play around, as I get more comfortable doing so. It is this Forum, guys like you, and some other forums that have made this possible for me to do. For some reason I'm more comfortable in general hacking around a desktop pc than a PPC.
I thought my Ext ROM must not be write protected. When I deleted the TMD files, described here as useless, I got the message that they were read only, but they did go away from the Ext ROM Folder. I do not notice a big difference, however, nor did it free up that much memory. I was thinking that I might need to do more then this. Do I?
So basically, if my Ext ROM is not right protected, and I have been already loading programs into the Ext ROM, I’m pretty much at the place people are trying to get with the Ext ROM Cook ER...Edit. Is that correct or am I missing something here?
Ed
Ed,
I do not like flashing rom (or bios) on either my desktop or PDA (if not absolute sure to fix bugs). However flashing the PDA's ext-rom can basically not screw up the PDA because you don't touch the OS, so I flashed the ext-rom to get familiar with the PDA flashing in general (and also to have a restore of my standard used software after a hard-reset).
About your ext-rom; I do not recognise your situation. I would say if it is read-only the file will not disappear (like with my PDA).
I did notice while editing the ext-rom file for flashing that the file is fixed ~16MB, regardless of which cab's are included or deleted.
Maybe this is the same effect that you see when deleting the file in the ext-rom ???????? (although I can imagine both effects have no relation)
ronald
Camera Programs
Okay,
I made a custom ROM with the following programs:
CAB: \Extended_ROM\CameraRC131_WWE_1.5.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\CallerIDRC11_WWE_1.5.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MMS1507_WWE.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\GPRSMonitor_WWE.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Version_AKU1.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\OEM_AKU1_WWE_4AP.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\OEM_WWE_03120301.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\VideoMMS.sa.CAB
Awesome, alot less bloat, but.... Camera doesn't work.. Application says Camera is not a valid Pocket PC application. :: grumble ::
Did I miss something?? Camera.exe is there, but doesn't work
Brandon
My Ext ROM is not write protected, and I'm able to run applications in the EXT ROM Folder. I deleted the 2 TMD and the T-Mobile cab files, but I have not nticed a big difference, nor is my GPRS back to always on, which it should be now.
Perhaps the device requires another hard reset without these cab files in place prior to the changes taking actual effect. Does anyone know if my assumption is accurate about the required hard reset?
Ed
what dictates if the ExtROM is write protected or not? is it the version? or the hardware itself? or a mix of the version with the OS checks?
cuz i believe the ROM version is dictated by the version_AKU1.sa.cab. does that mean we can hack the cab (or use a diff version) to disable the write protection?
i'm using a himalaya btw.
I have a question or two.
I'd also like to know if it is possible to modify CAB files so they install an application and then also put in your purchased key or serial depending on the application so it's already registered to yourself. It seems like it must be possible because the GPRS Monitor on the T-Mobile Extended ROM is already Registered when you try and register it yet I was under the impression it normally has to have a key entered to turn it into the full version with no limits.
This would be great if this was possible, if it's a key file then it's simple to copy it over but how about automatic registry entries? Are these done similar to Windows .reg files? Does anyone have any info if a .reg file can be make and run from the Extended ROM to make changes to the registry? This would also allow me to key in a few other things I'd like presetup.
Is there a way to see what registry changes a CAB file makes other than from purchasing MagicCAB? Is there a free program like this? It seems like a reasonable program from the info but I don't want to spend 10 dollars on a program I might only use once or twice.
Acutally, one more while I'm here. Does anyone have a CAB installation version of CabInstl which puts a shortcut in the Programs or an easy way for me to make that? I've set it up so it will copy the EXE in manually along with a shortcut but I've yet to try it. I think it should work OK I imagine, just might be neater and have an uninstall if it's in a CAB format?
Can you delete files from the extended ROM script? Just so I can clear out a few folders of things I don't want in there when I do a hard reset?
Thanks for all your help. I'm looking forward to making a super kick ass Extended ROM for myself, I'm half way there
Updating the indirect way
Had a few problems with the updating process... and thought i would explain how I got around them!
First I updated to the standard 16007DE ROM
Then I installed the Extended Rom Viewer, and then because it is protected, i copied the contents to my HDD.
Then i tried to open the Rom update from T-mobile with the Extended ROM editor, but kept on getting file access errors The only one i could open was the NL 13006 version. So I changed the splash screen, deleted the origianl contents, and then inserted the contents from my updated original Extended ROM, as well as a few other bits that i could find, IE the extended ROM viewer. It is updating at the moment, So I hope it all works.
I have a few questions though!
Does anyone know a way in which I can automatically install a few themes, and a few ringtones? I have a few MIDI files that i want to be installed into the windows\rings folder, and the themes need to go in a folder called themes in My Documents. I also wanted to ask if there is a way to extract the CAB from another program, for instance Voice Commander. It is an MSI, but only works in windows!!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Greets from Hannover, Germany
Juggs :?
Is this going to work:
- Download ER2003Edit
- Download the O2 XDA2 ROM 1.60.50
- Download the T-Mobile MDA2 ROM 1.60.36
- Remove O2 apps i don't want to use
- Add applications from T-mobile rom which i want to use
- Change ROM provider from O2 rom to to T-Mobile
- Save new O2 ROM and upgrade
But... I want to add custom ring tones to contacts, and if possible also want to add custom picture. Also my camera must be able to work. Which software do i need for this?
Because.. All i want to upgrade is today theme to O2's and also the software to 1.60.50... Does the O2 rom also has an "TMDNLCustomize.sa.CAB" ?

2 questions for you,
1. how do i know whether my rom is the editable 1 or the non editable one?
2. I tried option A, just mergly adding the CAB files into the EXTROM but... when the hard reset was perform it did not install the CAB files i added in? what could be the prob i know there is a "autorun.exe" in it but i dunno whether will it affect the process. I also notice a "config.txt" in the extrom, tried editing it but it seems that nothing happen
Reason for adding the cab files is because i was using a 1.72.00 rom with radio stack 1.12 but intend to change it to radio stack 1.14 and also try cooking up my own rom in the ktchen but after doin so its like nothing happen. need some advice for cooking roms in the kitchen been searching the forum... found a few but its all talking about Linux platform.
Hi Kelvin,
1)
The way to know if your rom is not writ protected is if you see a folder called extended_rom in the root of XDAII and if you can add files in it.
If not, there’s a nice tool to make the extended_rom visible and to make it writable.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=8422&highlight=extended+rom+hide
2) The config.txt is made to lunch the programs in the extended rom when you hard reset the XDA or when it starts for the first time.
You just need to put the cab files in your extended_rom folder and edit the config.txt this way:
Exemple:
I added the cab file vxIPConfig.ppc3_arm.CAB in the folder extended_rom
and added this line in config.txt
CAB: \Extended_ROM\vxIPConfig.ppc3_arm.CAB
Cheers,
Yann
hi yann,
i tried doing that way as i figured out that config is like a startup "prg" to actually start the programs installing when hard reset is performed. But the thing is i cannot make the programs i added in the install after the hard reset is perform. I don't know why but the rest of the cab files can be done. Do adding of all this cab files into the ROM consider cooking ROM??? not really fimilar with the terms of cooking ROM unless that is the way.
I am using the Cingular 8525 and to avoid having Cingular junk installed after a hard-reset, I soft-reset the device after a successful hard reset. I.e. when the "installing in 3 seconds" notice shows up.
However, now that all the Cingular installation files are removed, I no longer have any of these:
- MMS Shortcut
- Smart Dialing in Phone app: this is the one that allows you to type if the name via the keypad (much like T9) and have the names listed
I have tried to install the files manually from the Cingular 1.34 ExtROM compressed file hosted in XDA Developer FTP site, but to no avail.
The ExtROM contains the following, and only the bold ones are the ones that I try to install to bring the above functionalities:
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MT_PC_Hermes_GenericLight_REG_060609.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MT_Shortcut-MMS-Hermes.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\C_Cingular_GoodEmail_081606.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\C_getmail.ppc2005(HTC8100).ARMV4Rel.cingular.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\C_HSDPA_Wirelss_Modem_Stall.cab
CAB: \Extended_ROM\C_Hermes_MobiTV.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\C_GetTeleNav.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\T_mm1lib_DLL.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_PIE_Default.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\SMS_Setting_07Jun06.CAB
Please help. If I can't get the MMS shortcut and Smart Dialing, then there is no point in upgrading ROM since I'll be crippling the device to certain degree because it will not have the above functions.
OK, I am getting extremely frustated now. All I want is to get the MMS Shortcut and Smartdial on my Cingular 1.34 ROM.
I have installed the following (taken straight from the Cingular 1.34 ExtROM):
T_mm1lib_DLL.CAB
ShortString_Keypad_XML.CAB
MT_Shortcut-MMS-Hermes.CAB
MT_PC_Hermes_GenericLight_REG_060609.CAB (Smart Dialing)
I got SmartDialin to work. But NO MMS shortcut whatsoever! I installed the 1st three CAB above to get the MMS shortcut for 5 times in different order soft reset after EACH install, and NO MMS shortcut.
Those who have upgraded to the Cingular 1.34 and bypass the initial customization (soft reset after the 1st hard reset), please let me know how did you get the MMS Shortcut back. I assume there will be at least 20-30 people who have done this before.
No one knows how to fix the MMS shortcut for the CIngular 1.34 ROM? I guess no one is using Cingular ROM, then...
BTW, just FYI, any modification to the messaging program for some reason will get removed again, just like the MMS shortcut. For example, I installed Cingular XPress Mail (push email client) and the "Inbox" created by this application DISAPPEARED from Messaging application after 2 soft reset.
It looks like that Cingular and HTC have found a way to stop hacker from modifying the Extended ROM.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtendedRoms
Download one and install the cabs you need.

I found that some of the CABs in the extended rom will not install if you try to install them manually, no matter how many times you run them. So, what I did was unlock my extended rom and just deleted the stuff I didn't want installed, then did a hard reset after that. Worked fine. (Personally, I wanted everything BUT MMS, but I'm sure if you delete the opposite of what I did, it'll work just as well)

That's interesting to know! I think it affects mostly on the Messaging application, since it also make Email accounts disappear, not just MMS.
If you don't mind, can you let me know the following:
1) Which .CAB file did you leave (not delete)? I assume they are the following:
a. MMS Shortcut
- T_mm1lib_DLL.CAB
- MT_Shortcut-MMS-Hermes.CAB
b. Smart Dialing
- ShortString_Keypad_XML.CAB
- MT_PC_Hermes_GenericLight_REG_060609.CAB (Smart Dialing)
2) When you delete the unncessary CAB files, did you have to modify the Config.txt in the ExtROM folder itself? This text file list all the CAB files that will be installed, seemingly in a particular order.

I did that. As a matter of fact, I used the ExtROM mount cab to access the cabs directly.
That's interesting to know! I think it affects mostly on the Messaging application, since it also make Email accounts disappear, not just MMS.
If you don't mind, can you let me know the following:
1) Which .CAB file did you leave (not delete)? I assume they are the following:
a. MMS Shortcut
- T_mm1lib_DLL.CAB
- MT_Shortcut-MMS-Hermes.CAB
b. Smart Dialing
- ShortString_Keypad_XML.CAB
- MT_PC_Hermes_GenericLight_REG_060609.CAB (Smart Dialing)

I wanted MMS out, s I deleted all the files that had MMS in their name. Sine you apparently WANT MMS, you should leave those in, and I guess delete whatever you don't want. Regarding the text file, I actually tested it both ways. If you edit i and clean it up, it'll work, but if you leave it as is, it won't complain and will just silently skip over the things it ca't find. So, basically, the only reason to clean up the removed files out of the config.txt file is for, um, aesthetic reasons. You don't have to, but if you feel better about it being clean, then go ahead

Just so I know I am doing the right thing, which of the CAB files did you leave it in, with the exception of MMS?
ONe major item I need is the Smart Dialing feature.
I upgraded via all the instructions..worked pretty flawlessy and was a bit scary.
ie: super CID, v1.06 downgrade to 1.04, upgrade to 1.35 South Africa, downgrade back to 1.04, upgrade radio stack to 1.20..blah blah. I unhid my extended rom but i see that its the one from South Africa.. I am using a cingular 8525 on T-mobile..is it possible to replace extended rom with the T-mobile MDA Vario II extended rom or the cingular 1.34 extended rom? And is it a good idea? I really wanna get back to normal...I don't think I've ever tweaked a device firmwarewise as I have this. (although i had fun with my mda...it was still designed for "t-mobile" though). My keypad did get disconfigured but i found a .xml cab file from one of the cingular extended roms and it worked thanks to searching the forums. But something doesn't just doesn't feel right. I want to feel normal like I have the appropriate software for my hardware? ( know what i mean?). I'm wondering if I could just simply delete all files in extended rom currently and replace with the latest cingular extended rom cab files or t-mobile vario II extended rom cab files?
note: i'm from the usa..so im a little confused with all these foreign roms etc. All I saw initially was a higher number shortly after when I started off with simply the goal to unlock the thing..lol.
Yes, you can replace the extended ROM from other one... you'll need to hard reset after to get the autorun configuration.
For a guy on T-mobile....i'm looking at replacing the extended rom from south africa with the latest cingular one of the t-mobile uk. I honestly have googled to try and find out what each cab file means..but seems like it would be safer to just replace with the latest cingular, especially in terms of selling the device later.
I wonder what everyone is doing? all you 1337 h4x0rs simply deleting files you don't need and then doing a backup after manually entering your internet, mms settings?
I'm so lost. maybe its because the MDA was around longer so it was like bread and butter flashing to Molski's rom etc. I know that we had a "missing mms shortcut" that we could just download....
blah..hi. my name is n00b. help can me you? lol

I don't know what l33t hax0rs are doing, but I just don't let the ExtROM install and after unhiding/unlocking it, I use it as storage space.... I do install some cabs which i have found to be useful either by: trial and error or extracting the cab file contents and looking at them. Also I take cabs from \windows\[pre]config.txt which are not on extrom but useful sometimes also.
For Internet and MMS settings I have a cab file I got from i-mate website long ago for my BlueAngel, and it is still useful on my hermes
Once you've everything sorted out, a full reinstall after a hard reset or ROM upgrade takes 10 min: meet Dr. Jonson, set time & date, install cabs... soft reset, install more cabs, soft reset and done
I noticed one of the extended roms listed in the wiki had a tiny bit of information
"HTC TyTN 1.18.255.105 ExtROM WWE (English)
LOCK:Enabled
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MT_Shortcut-MMS-Hermes.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_ExtVersion.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\VT_Engine_23818_ext.CAB (Ati video driver, and audio+video codecs)
CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_ace-certs.CAB
LOCKisabled
RST: Reset"
But furthermore i was able to hard reset my device and then i soft reset before any of the cab files were auto started..so i guess now i'm just gonna have to install one by one..wish i just knew because i'm spending so much time on this before even getting my phone functional. i havent even placed my contacts on this beast yet because i keep feeling that I'm gonna hard reset a couple of times and wipe them out.
Would i have to change the auto run and config text somehow to auto run certain files or would that still be considered "cooking your own extended rom"?
1st problem, WiFi doesn't seem to work... Have tried everything... read on some forums that it could be a solder job on one of the antenna wires... opened the thing tried soldering the **** outta it... no luck... anyone had this problem fixed it and can tell me exactly what the problem was????

3rd and final the wrap up
****If any of this is on the forums already forgive me.. however Beta5 of FF3 is preventing me from using search on pretty much any website... ends up in timeout land.. ****
SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT EVERYTHING IN THE EXTROM DOES!!!!
I know what the contacts does and what the IOTA and the PRL update but what do the other things do.. and searching them in the forum only turns up the same questions by others which went unanswered...
Anyone got any suggestions/recommendations (besides using someone else's custom roms...) i just want to remove some things... nothing else.... maybe if i get daring find a way to change registry settings prior to install so i don't have to do all 20 of them i normally do when a hard reset occurs...
Thanks!
I'm just starting to use UC on my Fuze since I'm starting to suffer from the need to flash at least one ROM a week and I'm tired of reconfiguring my Fuze each time. I'm curious to see what others are are configuring with UC. Right now I am just loading cabs, including the Owner info cab, and configuring 4 email accounts including one Exchange and 3 gmail(google apps hosted domain) accounts. I'm more interested in some of the tweaks since loading CABs and XML is pretty straight forward.
Here is my sdconfig.txt and my latest XML(not tested yet but what the heck). I think it would be cool to have a thread with a bunch of example sdconfig.txt and provisioning xml files to use as examples since I've been basically doing this trial and error.
Since I think that .xml files are not allowed to be uploaded I am appending .txt to the XML files for upload.
One other thing, if you don't know what UC is, read this thread started by Sleuth255. Thanks for getting me started with this Sleuth255. There are a couple of links to MSDN in the beginning of this thread that give a ton of possible provisioning elements for your XML so have fun.
Great idea, i am just about to redo my config, so ill post it when im done.
Could be good to get some of the more frequent/interesting tweaks into the wiki.
Nice Idea. Can OP also edit the link to the thread for getting started with UC for N00bies
Great Idea!
I Didn't know that I could automatically register exchange and speedials. Thanks!

I hope that this is not repeated some place. If so, I couldn't find it. Here is a wiki page for SDconfig resources and samples. Post your XML and sdconfig.txt files here but please anonymize them first unless you want your email hijacked. If you did something special, post what you did as a description.

THANK YOU!
The MSDN article in aprticular has answered a number of questions I had been unable to resolve re server set up.

You're welcome but it was Sleuth255 that should get the credit since it was on his original post about this. I am finally able to give something back to the community. That MSDN page really helped me a bunch.
Post your sdconfig.txt and xml when you get a chance to the wiki so others can see what you did.
