i couldnt find this covered in the wiki, or maybe i misread or overlooked.. After you unlock and unhide the ext rom on 1.04 can you write to it and not corrupt it? coming from the wizard this was a very very bad thing to do, but seems like from what i have read that i can actually write to this one, just need confirmation?
and yes i already know how edit the txt file, etc...
not a stupid question shogunmark. neither have i read about that in the wiki but there are threads talking about that.
i myself have unlocked and mounted the ext rom using fit4cat and have removed all files in it after backing them up to the storage card. i now have number of apps installed on it, enjoying the additional 10M space, and it's working fine without any issues. i've been using it like that almost for a month now but nothing is corrupted.
in addition, i was doing the same with my universal dopod 900 and have installed number of apps and skin/icon files to the ext rom.
ok cool, on the wizard that would corrupt your ext rom... mainly cause you couldnt unlock it but could write to it... aside from installing apps, what about adding cabs to install with the initial 3second customization..
like for example..
lets say i unlock/unhide the ext rom
i add cab file 123.cab
then edit the txt file with CAB: \Extended_ROM\123.cab
then lock the ext rom back up.. now when i hard reset would it install the cab file???
if that works on the hermes then i am in love.. it was a pain on the wizard, had to create a new image then flash it to the phone, etc.. PAIN IN THE A$$

unfortunately, that doesn't seem to work. what i heard is that the cab file to run with autorun and config.txt needs the htc signature. if you can get it from htc you may... still pain in the b$$
well what you may actually need is a cab to disable the security to allow non-certified apps to install.. i know on the other ext roms thats a must or else the other cabs wont install.. was usually the first thing i installed on my cooked wizard roms.. i dunno, i havent dove into this yet, and dont know if i will get time tonight

then, how would you get around with running that security patch cab with no signature to start with? or do you already have that sorted out somehow?

the one we had for the wizard was a signed disable security cab....maybe i will try it now.. who needs sleep, lol
i can confirm that the signed cab we used on the wizard to disable security does install and work on the hermes...

sure thing, i just copied everything over.. will hard reset on my way to bed and post my results when i wake up...
so here is what i have determined.. my test so far has failed... however i can say that unlocking the ext rom, making changes on the config.txt, then locking it and doing hard reset does work (which makes me very excited!) however for some reason the signed remove security cab doesnt seem to want to install without user input.. hmmmm there has to be a way..
shogunmark: I looked into this some time ago and couldn't find a solution. Hermes only allows to install signed cabs, and the signed cabs used on wizard and universal to disable security do not work on the hermes. If you look at it more deeply and find a solution let me know

thanks for the insight... lets start with this question.. what is different in signed security cabs between the wizard and the hermes.. what makes them different that they wouldnt run... they should in theory be ok when signed, something has to make them different
it should be either one of this (or both):
1. the certificate used to sign the wizard / universal disable-security cab is not installed on hermes
2. the method used to dissable security on hermes is different from wizard / universal devices
Should not be very difficult to figure out. I have no time now, but can probably have a look at it later this week.

#1 sounds more feasable than #2 and here is my reasoning behind it..
#2 when i installed the disable security cab from the wizard i was able to run cabs and programs that werent signed without notification, so the process sounds similiar, i just havent broken the cab yet and looked at it to compare processes and reg edits used when disabling, i will try to break it down tonight

SoftBank's known 3G/HSDPA flat-rate packet data connection setting that has hacked from old X01HT ExtROM (user name: "open", password started from "oz...") will be unusable on end of March.
The user name of new setting (available at current ROM that released on end of Nov. 2006) has changed as "opensoftbank", and still no one hacked the password itself.
However, finally I found a way to create the connetcion, using some files dumped from current X01HT ROM.
To create SoftBank's connection that can be used continuously after Apr. 1 2007, you need ROM COOKING as follows, because at least the file WIFIwake.exe should be in the ROM to make the connection.
Step 1. Cook your ROM (add following 2 files in attached ZIP) and update device.
For general instruction of Hermes' ROM cooking, see the Wiki and related resouces.
addfile Out.xml
addfile WIFIwake.exe(A.xml and Initial.exe aren't needed)
Step 2. Install ConnSBM.CAB (included in ZIP)
The connection will be created, however password entry is still empty at this moment.
Step 3. The files are in ROM, so you need to set to "Menu -> Show All Files" on File Explorer to make ROM-attributed files visible (or, use similar option for 3rd party's file explorers, such as Resco or GSFinder+).
Step 4. Run WIFIwake.exe from \Windows folder.
The password will be created into the connection made by ConnSBM.CAB at Step 2.
To confirm whether success or not, check the connection "Internet > SoftBank", and click "Edit -> Next -> Next". If "****************" is shown at the Password field, the password has been successfully created.
If the password is not created, maybe WIFIwake.exe (non-ROM attributed) exists on \Windows. After running Initial.exe, WIFIwake.exe is copied onto storage from ROM. You need to delete it before retry, if you have run Initial.exe before install ConnSBM.CAB or lost setting.
BTW, I guess this way can be applied not only Hermes, but also Universal and/or any other HTC devices those can edit OS ROM (at least, I have successed on WM6 for Universal).
Enjoy AT YOUR OWN RISK !
Great work, a lot of japanese people was pursuing this for long time! Congratulations
Awesome, I had been doing this same thing for 3-4 days no and getting nowhere.
Mad props to you.
I have the Hermes and I'll be going to work as an engineer in Japan from April. I have installed the DoCoMo ROM for the moment (simply because out of the two ROMs, it's the one to have Bootloader 1.0.4, I have no trouble reading Japanese, and I need a Japanese input that's a bit more stable than Bagoj's IME).
However I'm wondering exactly what this thread would enable me to do... I'm planning on getting a subscription with either SoftBank or DoCoMo (whichever provides SIM cards/accepts to register a foreign phone).
If I get a SoftBank subscription, would this enable me to somehow cheat the subscription on getting more Internet for free? Or if that's wrong, what exactly would it enable me to get?
I haven't looked into the phone subscription system at the moment, but soon will. Whatever this thread exactly means could be a huge help in any choice I would have to make.
Many thanks for your help in advance,
Cheers,
Yannick
Hmm, I get the connection added but when I try to run the initial.exe from Windows is doesnt do anything. Using 3DES Custom.

I finally got the program to work. Funny thing is that I could nt cook a ROM with the initial.exe in it of it would not install. I was using the Rom Koch 0.99 release. So if I just copied the files over to a fresh install of a ROM it worked but I had to click initial.exe about 4-5 times before the "loading" graphic appeared.
I am assuming that it either installs a dll with the password encoded in it of he knows the password and didn't want it to become public. Initial.exe puts the connection password in the connection that ConnSBM.CAB creates.
Without the initial.exe running you have the connection with a blank password.
Files
Seeing as how none of these files are in the ROM itself is there any way you can post a list of file to help us re-create the process?
Well done !!!
Finally we'll be able to upgrade to XDA Live of Crossbow without fearing to lose our flat rate !!

I am trying to do that but I am learning from scratch... and it will probably take me a huge amount of time

This is wonderful news indeed! Now we only need a way to cook Japanese fonts and stable input into new ROMs and life would be perfect...

Every time I cooked the "addfiles" the initial.exe would not run properly and create the connection. If I cooked the other files minus the initial.exe and the cab it still wouldnt create the password. I could only get it to work by copying the files after flashing. Anybody get it to work in a cooked rom?

We already have an ExtROM unhider, what we need is an ExtROM unlocker.
Can someone please develop this
Enables the Ext Rom visible
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\EXT_FLASHDRV]
"MountHidden"=dword:00000000
Exit and Reboot after changes and ur done
it lets u view it but i cant figure out how 2 make changes yet. its still locked.
I believe he stated he already had the extrom unhidden.... now he needs it unlocked....
I haven't been successful at unlocking the extrom either....
An unlocker does exist for the Titan...
Check this thread:
http://www.ppcgeeks.com/external-rom-unlocker-unhider-get-it-here-t5845,highlight,extrom.html
as i said
as i said.... at this time there is no way to unlock the ext_rom on the titan. I'm sure it's possible, it's just a matter of time before it's figured out....
by the way, your ppcgeeks thread with the "unlocker" doesn't work. Try reading more than just the original post.
I believe Paul Hammons is working on one. He is finishing up the Dialer, then will be working on the unlocker. He said he is close to testing it
Mogul Extrom Junkware
/here's one possible work-around, You'll need one of the extrom unhiders (actually possibly not needed) and aegistry editor. There is an autorun file in the extrom, whose parameters are in config.txt (also in extrom). The autorun is called in:
HKLM\Comm\AutoRun
and the config file in:
HKLM\Comm\AutoRunCFG
If you just want to stop the whole extrom contents just delete the entry on the first item.
Or you could edit the config file to what you want, copy it to the windows folder, and then point the HKLM\Comm\AutoRunCFG to the new config file.
As always. hack at your own risk.
Rob
The extrom is only loaded after a hard reset though and a registry change will be erased at that point. There is also no way to create a custom rom yet for the Titan. So there is no way to have those entries set after a hard reset. The way to avoid extrom installs is to soft reset just before they load after a hard reset. There are other advantages to an unlocker however.

That's what I did when I did my last hard reset last weekend. Now I don't have all the Sprint junk on my phone.
How much extra space can you unlock? (when someone figures out how to unlock it anyway)
It should be a decent amount but I don't load anything on internal memory, I have a 2GB SD card. I'm waiting for a ROM cooker but not until after Sprint releases the EV-DO A upgrade.

the extended rom is only 8mb in available size anyways. The current items in the extrom take up a around 1.5 mb anyways. It's not a "decent" amount like the previous member stated.....
"The previous poster" thinks that 8MB is a decent amount.
Did anyone get the unlocker for the HTC 6800 Extended ROM.......
The titan.cab wrks great on the unhidder but i still cant modify anything.
This is essentially the excellent Korand 3.1, but with UC compatibility, enabling easier switching between ROMs.
UC info
UC allows customization using a storage card, and so allows for completely individual customization of any UC compatible ROM.
Without a storage card, this should run as it normally does.
For info on UC look here!
I'm currently working on a Touch Edition. I have a beta version I'm uploading. If anyone wants to test it, I'll post the link here.

l3v5y..
What here is, is not final version from Cloudyfa..
He has already dump the other one from kaiser.. And solved this WPA 2 problem..
But need to fixed something on SD Card bugs..
I downloaded the Touch ROM and I flashed it succesfully.
But during the ROM customization progress it is stuck on 'running SDautorun.exe' and does not continue anymore. I waited for about 30 minutes and soft resetted my device. The device starts, but now I have a very clean ROM (no sign off any Touch items).
Can anybody help me with this problem?
There are two reasons for this:
I didn't add a security pack that allows certain (unsigned apps) to be used.
The initflash file (what places shortcut files in the right place) was not edited properly and so shortcuts to apps are not in the correct place/not there at all.
hi l3v5y,
Happened to me the same thing. I can confirm that the shortcuts in my case are correct.
Questions:
1 - can I choose diferent folders for the cabs?
2 - Is the program case sensitive?
best regards
RP
For info on UC, see this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366337 if that fails to answer your questions I shall try to answer them myself.

It might need to add a key setting in reg:
SDAutoRun is not signed so security must be relaxed in HKLM\Security\Policies\Polices by setting the value 0000101C to a 1

I had that happen, but at some point when importing a package, the error stopped.
If you take the SD card out, and then wait after a hard reset, it should reset.
Can anyone confirm or deny that either of the two programs work with the brand new rom?
They didn't with 3.27. There also is a newer version of Card Export out now.
Still not working for me on the official 3.35 ROM. I'd love to get this fixed. That was an essential feature for me and it sucks not having it.
Were you referring to Card Export II 3.08 or WM5torage?
both....
I was running Card Export 3.06, so when I saw your post I was hoping 3.08 would work. Installed it and still no love. This sucks.
Edit: I submitted a bug report at Softick's website. Here's hoping for a resolution
WM5torage 1.75 works with the new rom.
Not working for me. Did you do anything special? What ROM are you running? I'm on the official Sprint 3.35 release.
Also posted at PPCGeeks,
For those interested in Card Export/WM5torage:
I don't know about everyone else, but the ability to use my phone as a flash drive for transfering files is a huge advantage for me. Activesynce/WMDC blows, and is not installed on every computer. Since the update to 3.XX ROMs, neither of these programs has worked (at least for me). I've been in touch with Softick (makers of Card Export) and I think we will have a solution soon. I've run some debug programs for them and they have developed a working version. Not sure when the final release will be, but hopefully soon. I was amazed at how responsive their team was. The day after I emailed them, the developer was in contact with me. I ran some debug programs, and the next day he had a working test version for me to try. Really awesome to see them working that quickly to develop a fix. If I hear anything about the final release I'll post again. Just thought some people might want to know.

i have both working on dcd 3.01 rom with the new 3.35 radio. I also discovered a way to unhide the extrom in dcd's kitchen and without the bug that happens when u follow this links suggestion : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ghlight=EXTRom
I have the phone recognize my extrom as a Mounted Volume or a harddrive for a lack of a better term. This means that since it is recognized as other than an extension of the primary, u could get files to treat it like a 2nd harddrive, maybe have a two OS's installed at 1 time. ( wm5 and then wm6 ) just boot into which 1 u want to use. or im working on trying to get the WM^ to treat it like a swap file for extra 10mb of memory. swap files r treated just like system memory by the Operating system.
any how u just have to make some reg changes and u are in business

would you care to further explain exactly how you got wm5torage and card export working on dcd's 3.01 rom with the new 3.35 radio? cause i jus tried both on the same rom and it's a no go for me, using the computer operating system windows XP. i have seen them work in linux.
well first i have the security and encryption off/ second, my version of both those progs are cracked, so they have been altered and third i thinks got something to do with the fact that i use QPST program which i have both 6700 and 6800 usb drivers on my phone. i use the 6700 usb drivers for that program and possibly thats what is making those programs work. U know because i havent had a problem with them i never thought about it./ but i couldnt but a 100 percent sure, but it would be my best guess. besides from my last post u can see that i have been messing with my extrom in which i use the 2 progs to help me with
how'd u get the 6700 usb drivers on your phone? u cooked it in using dcd's kitchen? where'd u get the 6700 drivers from? the apache kitchen??
card export II seemed to work w/ linux for me (did an "ls" to see the directory listing), However, when used with Server 2003 (my regular desktop that has activesync), it mounted itself, but when I went to see the drive, it was empty.
exactly the same for me. works in linux...and is visible but empty in windows. wonder how bunvilla got it to work. he's the only one so far that's been able to get them working.
says the drivers from the 6700 is on his 6800...sounds very likely to work that way but.....wonder how he got the drivers from the 6700??
Hopefully they will figure out something soon. This program is really helpful.
i want to make sure we are on the same page ok. When i use that program I only have access to my SD card. I cant access my phone folders. So when im at work and i want to save something to my sd card i turn on Card Export II 3.08 and then the little green light comes on and in a minute it shows up when i click "my computer" icon. But u know something ever since i changed the extrom to Mounted Volume ( no i didnt just rename the Extrom to Mounted Volume) it shows up too as a little 9mb removeable drive right below my Sd card.
so in the main directory there are 2 extra removable drives that shows up, and the only thing i can think of is my SDcard is formatted fat32.
Oh and by the way i didnt extract the 6700 usb drivers from a 6700 phone, i got them from a website and i rename my usb drvs for the 6800 and use the 6700 usb drvs and then switch when im done.
someone told me that i was doing it the hard way but it works for me. hope this helps some,
there are those times when stuff jus doesnt work for everyone else. sound like a lucky dude and congrats...cause NO ONE else can get it to work. not even the company who created the program. they're supposed to be working on a fix now.
well u know something else that i have that nobody else seems to have is the extrom , on my version of DCD' 3.01 everyone else seem to have issues with that too. at best they get extrom and extrom2 showing up when they use No2chem unlock extrom in the root directory of thier phone. I include a thumb shot of my root and u will see that i not only fixed that issue i also have the extrom show up as a removable drive and it changed from extrom to Mounted Volume and i didnt rename it that, it happened because of the reg edits i made and flashdrv.dll i used. im surprised that doesnt get your curiosity. I can both read and write to it, might even be able to add it to the pagepool. im working it right so i will let u know if i succeed .

I can verify that I have successfully used this cab on my sprint mogul with OLD stock rom 2.17
The steps required are as follows:
1.Install hacked cab below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=69221&d=1202300677
2.Soft Reset
3.Click yes to install card export and then OK to error messages
4.Open WM5torage and disable rndis
Note:According to thread, this will not work if you have ever installed card export on your system. Not sure why
Note 2: I am using 512microsd card with stock rom. I am about to reflash (for a change) and will repost later with my custom rom based on new 3.35

well u know something else that i have that nobody else seems to have is the extrom , on my version of DCD' 3.01 everyone else seem to have issues with that too. at best they get extrom and extrom2 showing up when they use No2chem unlock extrom in the root directory of thier phone. I include a thumb shot of my root and u will see that i not only fixed that issue i also have the extrom show up as a removable drive and it changed from extrom to Mounted Volume and i didnt rename it that, it happened because of the reg edits i made and flashdrv.dll i used. im surprised that doesnt get your curiosity. I can both read and write to it, might even be able to add it to the pagepool. im working it right so i will let u know if i succeed .

it gets my curisoty as well. one thing i have to say is it appears your level of geekiness is definitely a step above mines. u're a smart guy man. would be nice if you could maybe dump that rom of yours for us and maybe create a bunvilla's rom based off dcd's 3.01 with wm5torage and a mountable extrom working. im almost certain it would get a substantial amount of users.
I allreyd flashed a lot and did use a soft spl, but I do not find a proper
explanation what it is.
So, i Think it is the Bootloader ?
Can anyone tell me what a soft and a hard SPL is and does ?
For what do I need it ?
I just got my new Touch Pro bought in UK and now it is here in Germany and I want a german ROM on it as soon as it is available.
Please don´t write your standard answers like WIKI and Search - a forum is here for communication and I did not find the proper answers - only too long threats

Yep your right on that assumption sir The bootloader does alot of the low level handling of the startup process when you power on the device aswell as handling the process when you flash anything to the device...im sure its far more technical than that but thats a starter explanation Essentially you NEED a bootloader for the device to work at all, the case with many of the HTC devices...other devices are different most likely.
Soft SPL: (normally referred to as SSPL) IS loaded into RAM and allows you to perform some of the operations the standard bootloader would do, naturally with some extra functionality (explained later)
HardSPL: Same sort of thing except it is flashed to the device permenantly, so it replaces the HTC bootloader in your devices flash memory.
Both of these tend to safeguard against corrupting the device by having some fancy workarounds and updates to the processes built into the HTC SPL, and the best part is that they allow you to flash ANY ROM you wish therefor allowing us to use Cooked ROMs and various updates like radio updates and etc...frees the device up quite superbly.

Perhaps some mebers feel like adding a general HardSPL page to the wiki for FAQs like this to be answered better than "Search the forum.." since we know its not that good for finding anything.
The Wiki is there for everyone to use and edit so, learn and pass it on
Just a quick question, does any of this interfere with HTC released updated ROMs? Like, when they release a new version on their site, does having HardSPL prevent you from updating?
Hello !
Thank you for your advise.
One more question:
Should I install Hard or Soft SPL ?
I want to try out many ROMS - I think Hard is better, what do you mean ?
Thank you for your help
By the way:
I am a kind of technican - working in IT for nearly 18 years starting fron Novell, Banyan Vines and DOS up to Windows Vista. Also I am a kind of apple Guru, thats why I have certainly an iPhone 2G and 3G.
For business I use HTC devices sind the first MDA. But I lost track a little sind iPhone.
As I am a technic nerc I sstarted with th the Diamond touch again and I liked the device but i swapped this week to the touch pro because of the keyboard, SD Slot an flash light. I love this device.
By the way I also have the new Samsung Omnia 900 here and an unfun Nokia E71 ( I hate this old symbian - looks like last centuty )
So good night and thank you
Marcus

no, raphael hardspl is unsigned, means any rom is allowed, including HTC official roms.

you can only install hardspl. the job of soft spl is to install hardspl.
do not ever try any of the following:
- with SSPL, do not flash anything other than the included SPL NBH files. as extra protection the diamond and raphael SSPL's require htchacker sign (except the version jocky edited) and will reject anything that's not an SPL.
- and do not ever try to flash SSPL as an NBH, especially if it is a diamond or raphael.
Im sorry to disagree with your "don't tell me to use the Wiki".
But this is a fairly comprehensive answer to your question: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=SPL Questions? straight out the wiki.

When flashing a new ROM, do u lose all ur settings? Like installed programs, and other customizations?
Do you lose these by installing Hard-SPL?

Yes - Everything Goes.
No.

Thanks Dave.
So what do you guys do? Just reinstall everything one by one after you've flashed the new ROM?

There are several things.
UC is short for User Customisation; it is in all the Kaiser ROM's nowadays. l3v5y's Raph ROMs also have it.
Links: l3v5y's ROMs & Main UC Thread.
I use UC to install programs, Provisioning XML (as part of UC) to change registry settings, my xcopyce application to copy folders and active sync to copy contacts, calender etc.

Ok, thanks. Seems very complicated. Having to write XML files and such.
when running RaphaelHardSPL-Unsigned_190_1_3.exe, it says all information will be lost on my device. Are you sure i dont lose everything when installing Hard-SPL?

I can't say. I haven't done it, what says you will lose all the info, the RUU or the thread? If it's the RUU, then you should be OK, it's probably the standard message that the proper RUU (used for carrier ROM upgrades) has.
UC is good, takes maybe an hour or two to get setup, but once done, you don't have to do it again and it makes flashing so much fun. I started with just installing CAB's and Copying files, then went onto ProvXML for my registry settings next. The latest version of Schap's Advanced Config (3.0) can export tweaks into a Prov XML file for you. It is worth it if you flash your ROM as often as I do.
Dave
I do love this kind of stuff. Any new gadget i get, i like to do this kinda stuff with it. But its a little overwhelming in this case .
So, using UC, i can set it up so that my settings, such as email accounts, wifi networks + passes, notify settings, etc, as well as all the programs are restored after a ROM flash?
To do this i have to manually go through my registry to find the entries for each of these settings though? No way to just extract my current unflashed devices settings to a file that the new ROMs then use? That would be nice

We are getting a little off topic of the OP now but...
Any tweaks done with schaps Advanced Config can be easiler exported using a "export" menu option.
If you export your registry after flashing, and again after you have all your settings setup right, you can Diff then using a Diff Program and copy the changes into your ProvXML file. Most PPC Regedit programs can export.
Any more on UC, I'd have a read of the UC thread and ask any questions in there. Myself and l3v5y keep and eye on it most of the time and should be able to help fairly quickly.

Hello
So my Threat became quite interesting.
One last question foe me.
What File should I download to HARD SPL my Touch Pro.
Is there a file which includes all ? I mean I do not have to modify files inside the cabinet or so ?
Is there a fast link ?
Thank you for all the help - now lets start using the Touch - weekend is near

lol, sure, there is only one package, and you simply click the EXE and it goes
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410150
Is it possible to use those backup softwares? Like Spb Backup for example that say "ROM Upgrade Mode — now it's possible to restore data after the ROM upgrade"? Instead of UC and such?
there is a IPL initial program loader (sort of bios)
a SPL secondary program loader (kinda like the ntloader)
and there is a service mode (3 color screen) (the flashprog)
then we have a RUU remote unit upgrader
mft masterfile table
mbr master boot record
and some other shizzle
the device switches the output of the internal usb when device is in 3 colorscreen to a service mode which allows it to overwrite the internal flashdrive .. pretty neat as what it actually does is switching to an internal flashprogrammer which programs the internal flashdrive. this is the same process as is used for your pc at home to update the bios.
the CID celloperator identification code (used for blocking certain rom upgrades)
enjoy..
Soft SPL quesiton
I have a SPV M700 and it's unlocked. I want to install Schaps rom. I have the folowing SPL version 1.07.000. I have't managed to install hard spl. Can I use soft spl to flash it? Can I permanently brake it?
