ftp://xda:[email protected]/Qtek172601
(Hope it's ok that I upped it here :? )

Editing new ROM
Hi, I have been editing the new ROM from Norway and I found a file that is not usual.
Anyone knows what is provis.cpf and load_provis_cpf.exe?
Thanks for your help
Only the extended ROM differs w.r.t. the iMate 1.72 ROM

Presumably, Load_Provis_cpf knows how to handle the data in provis.cpf, which is one XML file called _setup.xml
Code:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="SecurityPolicy">
<parm name="4107" value="3220" />
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
The 4107 paramater is apparently the parameter for "WAP Signed Message Policy: PPG_AUTH | PPG_TRUSTED | OPERATOR_TPS | OPERATOR"
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...m/amo_pocket_pc_security_policy_xml__kqra.asp
The value is 3220, or 2048 + 1024 + 128 + 16 + 4
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sp_amo/html/consecurityroles.asp
This apparently enables WAP push and over-the-air PROVISioning of WAP settings. (I wonder if that is in any way supported by any network operator).
itibm appears to be a battery monitor of some sort.
BizMobile appears to be an application that adds information about Norwegian businesses to your contacts (and callerID) via the BizWeb.no website.

Since I'm norwegian I installed the rom as is. Here is what I believe the changes are
BizMobile.cab
Is a software that works like 411 in the US. Is a gprs based service that let you search for people, firms and their phonenumbers etc.
itibm.ARM.CAB
It's a plain and simple battery monitor. Useless if you use a software such as batterypack
Norsk_Dansk_PPC_Tastatur.CAB
Installs a Norwegian/Danish keyboard.
Norway.sa.CAB
Norway172_Customize.sa.CAB
provis.cpf
Load_Provis_cpf.exe
Believe all these files does customizations. After installation and reboot the splashimage was chaged, and also the startpage in IE had different links than the original roms. That's about all the changes I've found. Maby someone here can explain these better...
And to all:
Thanks for a great forum.
:wink:
Installed 172 ROM. Keyboard layout is Danish, how to change?
I just installed ROM 1.72. I did not do any editing before installing. Everything went fine exept the keyboard layout :? . It is now Danish and before I had US. Is there any way to change it back to US. For now I can live with it, but if possible......

You just need to remove program through "settings->systen -> Remove programs -> ePocket Solutions ASA Norsk_Dansk..."

Re: Remove epocket Solutions ASA Norsk_Dansk
Thank for your reply.
I tried that but the program cannot be removed because there is a dll in use "\windows\imsnord.dll"
I have no programs running. How can I deal with this dll?

Switch to an input method other than the keyboard (such as block recognizer). Soft reset. Remove the program. That should work, since the keyboard will not have been started, and its DLLs should not have been loaded.
I am thinking of upgrading from T-Mobile rom 1.60.00WWE to rom 1.72.
Main motive: Bluetooth improvements
Since the OS and Radio ROMS of both iMate and Qtek are the same, one can conclude the quality must be ok (well, at leats two companys say its OK).
For the extended rom maybe it is a better idea to just re-use the old one (1.60.36) I am currently using, thus making sure all (T-Mobile) customisations are just like I have them now, instead of using the iMate of Qtek extended rom?
Can anyone confirm that will be a wise idea?
Hi!
I just upgraded to the new ROM. Everything went fine during the upgrade (no errors, no ID codes, perfect!)
I found the keyboard to be a bit unusual, but can live with it.
I tried to remove the .dll, file, with no success.
Any other idea?
:?:
Re:
Could have figured that out myself
But I was impatient so I deleted te dll myself using BT. After that I was able to delete the program without the error, however I now do not have any keyboard at all en most of my programs don't start anymore.
Unfortunally I also cannot connect my PDA using BT and at the moment I do not have a USB cradle at hand. I managed to copy the dll back to the device using IR, but since my programs do not start (like fileexplorer) I cannot put it in the right folder (windows).
I will have to try to replace the dll tonight and I hope this will do it. At least I kept a copy of the dll on my laptop.
If that doesn't work I will reinstall the ROM 172 or does anyone have a suggestion?
Found another ROM avaliable for the Norwegian market. This one should not be as customized as the other one.
It's avaliable here:
http://www.idedata.no/programmer/qtek2020_172ID.zip
2 programs added to EXT ROM
1: Norwegian Keyboard (Should be no problem uninstalling)
2: BT Tools (The bluetooth tools we all love... )
Did not try it yet...
ANYBODY knows how to edit the extended ROM with er2003edit ?? :shock: Should the file be extracted from the .EXE setup file in some way??
Do not delete imsnord.dll
I did that and I had to hard reset my device in order to get in working again. Most apps stopped working when I deleted imsnord.dll.
So now I cannot change the keyboard layout and I saw that imate has an 172 ROM update to. I guess this one is english, including the keyboard so my question is:
does anyone have this rom (and tried it?)

Just unpack the .exe file with Winrar/Winzip so you get to the files. The one you want to edit is the ms_.nbf which is the ext rom. Use this password: 0x20040305

I have not edited the extended ROM the old fashened way (er2003edit) since Itsme introduced this great tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewforum.php?f=10
After I flash a new ROM, the first thing I do is unhide/unlock the extended ROM, delete and add the required files with a file explorer and lock it again, followed by a new hard reset. This tool also allows you to e.g. store critical backups/settings in the extended ROM (even with sub-directories, which er2003edit cannot).

Hi,
I recently upgraded to WM2003SE, this introduced some errors om my Q-Tek 2020 which is why i want to downgrade to the original image.
I downloaded 'HI_TMNL_17200_190_11700_Ship.exe' from the T-Mobile (NL) site, but when trying to execute it it shows "Country ID error" and stops.
I searched the forum and found a post the said i could use the no_id patch. After reading the instructions i found out that this patch needs the extracted files, but i only have the .exe i downloaded.
Can someone give me some advice?
Cheers,
-peter
Run the .exe file and press next ONCE. (this extracts the files)
open file explorer on your pc and navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR NAME\Local Settings\Temp
in this directory there should be a temp directory (mine was called pftA4.tmp)
the ROM images are located in this directory.
once you cancel the .exe program the files are deleted, so copy them to a new directory to save them.
Good luck.
Thanks, i managed to get the files!
I've been reading a lot on the forum lately, and in particular this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12101
When trying to get the xor keys with the command 'xda2nbftool.exe -t' it only shows the xor keys for "ms_.nbf" and "Radio_.nbf".
I'm missing they key for "nk.nbf" while the file does exist and is in the current directory.
I tried this command on two rom's and both did not gave me the nk.nbf xor key.
G:\peter\Officele T-Mobile image>xda2nbftool.exe -t
xda2nbftool -x ms_.nbf ms_.nba 0x20040305
xda2nbftool -x Radio_.nbf Radio_.nba 0x20040306
Another "push" in the right direction would be appriciated
-P
search the ftp
i do beleave that god toenailed has already decompressed that files
check in the ftp
Thanks rictec, but i looked all over the ftp today but didnt find it.
Nevertheless, the xda2nbftool.exe should be able to decompress my files right? Do you know why i'm not getting a xor key for that file (nk.nbf)?
Cheers,
-P
Could anyone please help me out?
I'm still in the dark about why i can't get the key from the nk.nbf file using xda2nfbtool.exe
Help would really be appriciated!

Please help! Being an avid user (I really enjoy the old system environment I was using), but not that much of a "techie". I've managed to create for myself an interesting problem/ concern. I followed a link here in xda-developers and I foolishly tried upgrading my system through the following: Himalaya_WM2003SE_Upgrade and HIMA_WM_2K3_EXTROM. I need to and want to restore back to my old system. Please help me!!!
Note: Not being a consumate techie, but a user, I may have overlooked a something below... But I desperately need to restore.
"I obtained (with many thanks to fychan) a memory image of an English version of WM2003 SE which is an earlier version than the recent Chinese release, but it is genuine English. I managed to create an installable NK.nbf file from this. Also, mamaich has provided the version 1.18 Radio upgrade included here. Many thanks to mamaich for that and also for some advice when I was building the OS nbf file. Also, mamaich has provided some CAB files for Extended ROM which I have also attached here separately.
Attached is an upgrade for Himalaya devices to WM2003 SE WWE, Radio 1.18. Unzip the attachment into a folder of your choice. The nbf files are configured for operator ID O2 and language ID WWE. If you need to change these, carry out all the steps below. If they are OK for you, go straight to step 5.
1. Extract the decrypted versions of the nbf files by entering the following commands at the command prompt:
Code:
xda2nbftool -x NK.nbf NK.nba 0x20040304
xda2nbftool -x Radio_.nbf Radio_.nba 0x20040306
2.
3. Modify the operator ID in the nbfs to the value you require by entering the following commands at the command prompt substituting <operator> with the required value:
Code:
xda2nbftool -sd PH10 -so <operator> -sl WWE NK.nba
xda2nbftool -sd PH10 -so <operator> -sl WWE Radio_.nba
4.
5. Update the crc values for each of the decrypted files by entering the following commands at the command prompt:
Code:
xda2nbftool -c -u NK.nba
xda2nbftool -c -u Radio_.nba
6.
7. Encrypt the files back into the nbf files by entering the following commands at the command prompt:
Code:
xda2nbftool -x NK.nba NK.nbf 0x20040304
xda2nbftool -x Radio_.nba Radio_.nbf 0x20040306
8.
9. Place your device in the cradle, ensuring that the cradle is plugged directly into a USB port on your PC and not to a hub and that the power supply is connected to the cradle. It is also a good idea to disable any screensavers.
10. Run HimaUpgradeUt.exe
11. Sit back and wait for the Congratulations screen to be displayed on your PC. Your device will still be displaying 'Upgrading radio stack, please wait', but as long as the PC says it is done, then its all OK.
Notes:
a. I have installed this upgrade on my XDA II without any problems, and have also been able to revert back to the 1.72 ROM I had installed previously. I have bootloader v1.01, and I don't know whether it would be any different for later versions of bootloader.
b. After upgrading, a hard reset takes places and the Extended ROM is installed. I found that several applications caused a 'Application may not display properly.....' message box to appear which required tapping to dismiss. Therefore, you will need to make sure that TPDisable.exe is not run in the Config.txt script in the Extended ROM, otherwise you will not be able to respond to the messages.
Edit: I've created a .BAT file which can be run from a DOS prompt to replace steps 1-4...
Usage: OperatorUpdate operatorID
where operatorID is O2 or CDL or TMOBILE, etc.
Just unzip the attached zip file.

After months of learning and digging deep inside the Atom Life, I think now it's time for a newer Rombuild.
Cooking the imgfs is not the problem, but I didn't understand the XIP from Atom Life.
We have 2 XIP parts, compressed in SRPX format.
Grabbing them is no problem with Scoter Kitchen Tool MSFLSHTOOL.exe.
The kitchen contains 2 tools to change from SRPX to XIP and reverse.
As I described in the Atom Life Kitchen thread, repacking the XIP.bin to SRPX causes a smaler file than the source file.
The cooked OS doesn't boot.
That's the first big problem.
The second one are the two XIP sections. The first one is bigger and contains some files, the second one didn't has.
But some files are existing in both sections with different sizes.
So cooking the Atom Life XIP seems more complicated than in other devices.
Here are the 2 XIP sections. Hope someone has an Idea, how we can work with these files:
http://rapidshare.com/files/79622471/LifeXIP.rar.html
Edit:
The first problem is solved. I have compared the original XIP part with the new one in a hexeditor.
I've simply hexedited the beginning and filled the end of the new file with FF to match the needed filesize.
After comparing both, now the new file is identical.
Maybe later, we can use the space of 300kb to encrease the memory of Atom Life .
I wonder, where all the ROM-Cookers for Atom Life devices are hidden.
Another positive aspect is, now we can change the Pagepool of the Atom Life.
After changing the PP from 8MB to 4 MB, my device has a total Program memory of 52.41 MB. After a fresh setup and some tweaking with SKTools, I have, after a softreset more than 29 MB free Programmemory.
I know someone who can handle these files,and he has cooked a 18538 rom for atom life,here is the link:http://www.pdaclan.com/forum-7-1.html, btw,can you tell how to change pageing pool of life?Thanks and sorry for my poor english,hope you can understand what i mean

Thank you for the hint.
As I can see (or guess, because I can't chinese) there are some ROMs for Atom Life. Even some Pagepool changed.
You can change pagepool only, if you extraxt the XIP, edit it and cook the new ROM and flash it.
But if there are already some ROMs, there is no need to explain, just download the OS of your choise.
I wonder, why nobody of the Rom cooker offers his work for english speaking people ?
As I can't read chinese, please can you or someone else post download links to the Atom Life ROMs of this site ?
Thank you
I want to help you,First,you should log in,use account:qq108108 password:aaaaaaaa,when you log in,simply chick the post,you will see the download link, you would not miss it!I have a problem:when I use Atom Life Simplified Kitchen - Sdh, I got a wrong message:The output sign-buffer is to smal for encrypted signs.Encryption from Unicode (UTF-8) in dodgeposition System.Text.DecoderReplacementFalback." I wonder how to solve this problem and make my rom bootable,Have you have a MSN or something,maybe we can talk about how to make a bootable using the rom Kitchen !!

Thank you for helping
That's the same problem, I have with my german XDA Comet ROM.
Unfortunatly I have no idea to fix it.
If I find further solutions, I 'll post it.
The Atom Life WWE ROM runns fine with the kitchen. So I'll use this ROM .
I will take o look at pdaclan. Maybe google translation gives me more informations.
Bye
So can you just tell me how to change the pp please?Thank you!!
Of course
Hope I can explain it that everybody can understand. Because it's hard for me to explain thinks in a foreign language.
1. You need an original Atom Life FLASH.dio
2. remove the 12 bytes header with a hexeditor and rename the file to AL1.dio (you don't need these step, if your file is already prepared for MiniSD card flashing. Only for original ROMs from official Updates)
3. download Scoter Romkitchen.
http://rapidshare.com/files/15460590/Scoter_Kitchen_1.0.exe.html
or http://www.megashare.com/107480
4. You need the SRPX tools from this kitchen.
5. put the ROM in the SRPX folder
6. in commandline change in SRPX folder and type:
Code:
msflshtool AL1.dio -d -p 1
7. You'll get a new file called AL1.dio.part1
8. Now type:
Code:
SRPX2XIP AL1.dio.part1 xip.bin
this will produce xip.bin
The SRPX compressed XIP will be changed in the regular XIP format.
9. Locate the following hexstring with an hexeditor:
Code:
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF9B4FFFFF64B00000
One line below, you will see:
Code:
00008000
That's the actual pagepool from 8 MB
10. change the value to:
Code:
00004000
or an other prefered pagepoolsize. Save the file first.
11. Now the tricky part, I don't know an easier way yet.
12. type:
Code:
XIP2SRPX xip.bin
You will get a new file called: xip.bin.xiporg
13. As you can see the new file is much smaller than the original one part1.
So you must fix it with the hexeditor. You must compare the original file with the new one.
14. the beginning of the new file should look like the original one, so you must edit the values in the new one till the word SRPX.
After I take a learning lesson by my "teacher" ferryboat, I found out that steps 15 - 17 are not neccessary !! Jump to 18.
(Will edit the howto, after further compare)
15. the old file is bigger and the end is filled with the value FF.
16. just copy the FF -block and paste it to the end of the new one. Save it.
17. Compare if the new file has the same size like the old one.
18. type
Code:
msflshtool AL1.dio -r xip.bin.xiporg -p 1
19. the new file will be written in the AL1.dio ROM image.
20. put the image to the MiniSD . Bring the Atom Life in bootloader-mode and flash it.
Done and ready
You can test several pagepool sizes.

Thank you!!!Now I have download the new 18538 rom,BUT the Programmemory only have 22MB free,So I need to do something to make it larger.Thanks for you great work!!If you need any help,just tell me!!!And pdaclan have a new rom kitchen for atom life too.
After reading your stuff,It seem that a little bit diffcult for me to understand,But since you explain so well,I think i can make it happen!!

You need only to copy and paste the quoted commands in commandline.
The whole procedure needs only about 10 minutest from editing the ROM till to the ready flashed device.
Even the hexeditor is included in Scoter Kitchen, so you have all tools that you need.
The hexeditor in Scoter Kitchen called XVI32. For editing, just open it twice and load the original SRPX.part1 in one and the edited in the other opened instance.
At the beginning of the file, you will see the difference. Only edit the values that are different, till the text "SRPX" (you'll see it).
To copy the "FF" block, just go to the end of the edited file, you'll see where the file ends.
At the original file, there is the beginning of the "FF" block.
Go to first "FF" value,
press CTRL+B , goto the last "FF" value, press CTRL+B again, you will see the block red marked.
Go to "copy to clipboard" button and push.
Now go to the end of the new file and press the "paste from clipboard" button and save.
Hope that some of the new ROMS, tools and knowledge from PDAClan find the way to XDA-Developers, because that'll be bring "life" in the Atom Life comunity.
Thank you for YOUR help.
I hope so,The one who made the 18538 atom life rom had ask you question before.If I meet him ,I will tell him to come here and teach both of us the method to port the xip!!
Done!!Thanks for your tutor!!
I don't understand what it's mean:"cut the 12 bytes header with a hexeditor and rename it to AL1.dio". Could you please explain it more? I'm a new with Atom Life. Thank so much Mr. scorpio16v.

Sorry, but if you don't know what an hexeditor is and how you should use it and you even can't simply rename a file, it's not the right thing for you to do these job.
Sorry, I tried to make everything you told, rename Flash.dio to AL1.dio and put AL1.dio into SRPX tools folder, then run cmd with command: msflshtool AL1.dio -p 1. Final, it show: "the file is not msflsh50 format" ??? and there is no file "AL1.dio.part1" was generated in SRPX tool folder???
Maybe I don't undersatand "cut 12 bytes header"

Just open the file with the hexeditor and cut the first 12 bytes to remove the header of the file. than save it.
For example:
XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX E9 FD FF 00
You must delete the XX.
So the new file beginns now with E9.
Thats only an example, maybe your file looks different at the beginning, but you must cut the header.
(XX are only placeholder. You'll see other entries in Your file)
Okok just "remove" 12 bytes header, not "cut" 12 bytes header. Now I can do that. Thank you very much.
An idea: there is a simple tool to change papetool only for "Hermes". With this tool, just load Os.nbh and set 4/6/8/12 Mb, then you will get a new OS.nbh file with papepool you want. That's so easy... You will make a tool like that? I hope so, great man.

I'm not a programmer or IT expert. So someone other will do that.
I was told that the guy who made 18538 ROM would make a WWE 18538 rom for atom life.So you can just wait for the new rom.Also ,he told me that if we want to edit XIP part ,just need to edit the part1.
I dont know how to cook roms. But I have made for myself a cab package of a program which I want to add to my external rom so that it survives hard resets. If anone can build it for me I will be highly grateful. PLz reply and I will upload the nbh file of my rom and the cab that is to be included.
Here is the link for a program to unlock EXTROM and show it in the file explorer. Use it and copy ur cab on the extrom.

Then after you are done, use any registry editor like PHM Regedit or DotFred's task manager's regedit tab to go to the following location :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ ONDisk2]
and change the value of the DWORD value MountHidden to 1 in decimal or hexadecimal (since 1 is same in both ). That will take care of your problem.
"MountHidden"=dword:00000000
