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.
Hi all, i normally make custom roms for our devices but am having issues with this one, its about to be the 1st Hermes in space [coz i am gonna strap it to a firework and send it skyward ]. I have the ExtROM unhider, i remove all the rubbish, i add my custom read-only cab's [all signed btw] edit my config.txt, then hard reset the device. All looks ok on the loading stage, you see my cabs being called and run, but they move on to the next file far to fast, and when i check the programs installed after, its not there, so its skipping the cab files. No errors on load, nothing, if u run the files manually they work but i did noticed they say "Unknown Publisher" on the certificate part of the install. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to overcome this please.
Thank you in advance
EViLOPTiC
Hermes startup is full security mode. Your CABS need to be signed by a trusted root CA and you might even need the more secure provider level signature (although I'm not sure of this).
V1605
Hey EViLOPTiC,
IK see you are having the same problem as I'm having with my V1605.
I had a Qtek 9000 before did the ext Rom modification had no problem, I had a Signed disable security cab which I run in the cab first then all the another after no problem.
Now with this pda the signed cab still says it is not signed I've tryed anothe 3 another disable security cab but with the same issue.
All we need is a signed cab file that well modify the register 0000101a from 1 to 0 put that in the Extended Rom followed by all the another cab file we want to install.
Where can we find this cab.
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP US PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Thanks

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.

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.
how can i modify registry keys such as htccpl in any rom kitchen? possible at all? or are they always related to the htccpl.cpl in the windows folder? how to modify that one then?
i just can't modify or delete them in neokit.
cheers.

Some in reg, some in provxml Check your PM for more detail, friend !
yeah, thanks, mate! i found all entries i need in those provxml files! great stuff!!
now i am almost done with all modifications reverting everything back to "original".
any ideas how to change "hidden" status of a single file? i want to make the templates for notes and office visible.
cheers!

I'm not sure what you are talking about, but I do like the word "original".... If you are done, is it worth sharing?
well, as i stated in cloudyfa's thread, i am not a friend of too heavily customized roms even though most of them look pretty cool. everyone is individual and has a different taste. therefore i really liked korand's contribution. unfortunately there were still some minor flaws, such as an incorrect wm6 sound scheme (as i believe), which i could not figure out to fix.
but with cloudyfa's rom providing wpa2 and showing no signs of bugs so far, i just could not resist making my own close-to-originally-offical wm6.1 rom, because no-one seemed to respond to my appeal of making a truely clean version. so i took the challenge myself... and it was quite some lesson and a lot of fun, however, i still do not consider myself a rom cook (yet).
and "yes", i will share it if cloudyfa does not mind and if i will not encounter any problems while testing my "creation" at the moment. i only need to figure something out about user customization. maybe you have an idea since i could not find anything specific on my question:
if uc is enabled, will it still be possible to run autorun from extended rom even though it would be redundant? because there is still the registry key set for autorun destination on extended rom. or can i delete it? or should i leave it for some kind of "dual autorun mode" ?
cheerio.

yups, you can still run some application from extende rom.
At windows folder, you will find config.txt . You have to give some command on it.
The command there, is just a RST ( Reset ) . But If you give a command first, it will install some cabs. It all command from AutoRun
This is some command
LOCK: Enable
CAB: \Extended_ROM\TCPMP.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Cabs\ABCD.CAB
LOCK: Disabled
RST: Reset
the command will install TCPMP.cab and ABCD.cab
share at XDA is always a good one.
With Cloudyfas ROM, there is a provxml file that sets the keys for AutoRun to somewhere in the windows directory. You will have to remove/alter that for autorun from the storage card.
The point of AutoRun is to allow you to install cabs etc before the user can really use the ROM. UC is to provide users with a faster way to set up the ROM. The two can and should co exist.
so if i got it correctly: putting the common command lines of the extended rom autorun PLUS the command lines of sdautorun into this single config.txt file would make the device boot and install from both locations one by one?
so, what are your recommendations about the registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm]
"TurnRadioFlag"=dword:0
"AutoRunCFG"="\\Extended_ROM\\config.txt"
"AutoRun"="\\Extended_ROM\\autorun.exe"
leave it or kill it??
edit: decided to remove it due to its complete redundancy. it is uc already... now i am close to finishing.
edited edit: put it back in. i think it won't hurt and maybe someone still needs it.
cheerio.
One of Cloudyfas ProvXML files overwrites that, so it is completely redundant!
It's called mxipupdate_zz_oemoperators_102_CheckAutorun.provxml
You can look at it and see what it does.
The two AutoRun files (SDConfig.txt and Config.txt) are separate files that run independently. The point of UC is User Customization. All you need to do is make sure SDAutoRun.exe is in \Windows and that the last line of your config.txt file is
Code:
EXEC:\Windows\SDAutoRun.exe
That is all that is needed for it to run.
ok. removed the redundant entries. i was just thinking there might be some way of a "dual boot". but actually this is rubbish. so i leave it as uc as it is.
The point of UC is that the two are seperate. Everything can be achieved with just one of the two systems, but with UC, you (the chef) can install cabs, and the user can install tweaks etc.
Update 2009/04/12
Here is a working cab to enable "Rogers/Fido Call Display" by Captain_Throwback. This cab has been tested and proven to work with many ROMs. I've personally tested it on "Energy" and "RoMEOs" ROMs and it work like a miracle. A big bravo to you, Captain

The QUICK/EASY method on Post #14 only work for ELITE RC2 (cab file included)
----------ROMs that work for Raphael----------
NATF's v4
Lantis OS 21009 AKU 1.5.0 v3.00
RRE Canadian 4.1
PROven ROM 1.12
Elite RC3 will include this option
For Da_G ROM and Shipped ROM, you simply have to replace the dll file
----------This is how you do it, for chefs----------
After 33 hours straight non-sleep, and plenty of pm to Da_G and NATF, I can proudly say that we've found the perfect answer for this problem
and finally we can put an end to this question "how to make Rogers/Fido Call display to work?"
I've tested this and believe that this solutions may work for any ROM. So far I've tested with 2 of NATF's ROMs, but I need someone to test
this on Kaiser and other device as well. You don't need to used a Shipped ROM, but you can apply these step to any of your favorite ROM.
2 simple steps in summary:
First you need to cook rilphone.dll file into your ROM in the folder /OEM/OEMDrivers/
Second, you need to change the file that setup all the registry key to your device when you flash
For Fuze (may be different for Kaiser), this is the file: /OEM/OEMDrivers/de3f3189-9f71-4162-9f26-39393dcc8c94.rgu
(I attach the original file from Da_G's clean ROM)You can either just replace this file or simply go in the file and Make
sure that all lines related to these regs are the same as the one I've posted here (took from Da_G's ROM)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\RIL]
POST #12 includes all registry lines that I've modified
The Files are attached.
----------How to cook rilphone.dll into your favorite ROM, from Da_G's words----------
Code:
[B][COLOR="Indigo"]-=01=-[/COLOR][/B] Download a ROM Kitchen for your device, for Fuze is RaphaelKitchen
[B][COLOR="Indigo"]-=02=-[/COLOR][/B] Extract Kitchen
[B][COLOR="Indigo"]-=03=-[/COLOR][/B] Copy your favorite ROM *.nbh file into \BaseROM\ folder (from extracted Kitchen)
[B][COLOR="Indigo"]-=04=-[/COLOR][/B] Rename your *.nbh file to RUU_Signed.nbh
[B][COLOR="Indigo"]-=05=-[/COLOR][/B] Launch "RaphaelKitchen.CMD" from *Kitchen\ folder
[B][COLOR="Indigo"]-=06=-[/COLOR][/B] choose "e" for extract, then "a" for from BaseROM "RUU_Signed.nbh
(if everything work so far, your dos should be running on it own now)
[B][COLOR="Indigo"]-=07=-[/COLOR][/B] When it's done, check if you have these three main Folders
+/OEM
+/SYS
+/ROM
(make sure they are not empty or only have 1 sub folder. if this is the case,
then your favorite ROM is protected... ask the cook nicely to share with you
those 3 folders)
[B][COLOR="Indigo"]-=08=-[/COLOR][/B] replace these 3 files into /OEM/OEMDrivers/

[COLOR="Red"][B][SIZE="2"]It's recommended that you modify the *.rgu file instead of replacing it for a moded ROM,
because of all the tweaks chefs have added.)

[B][COLOR="Indigo"]-=09=-[/COLOR][/B] Launch "RaphaelKitchen.CMD" from *Kitchen\ folder again
[B][COLOR="Indigo"]-=10=-[/COLOR][/B] chose "cf" for cook and flash a ROM, then "b" for "if you want to use the
new BuildOS+Package..."
[B][COLOR="Indigo"]-=11=-[/COLOR][/B] Ervius Package _tool+BuildOS windows will launch, choose "BuilOS" tab
[B][COLOR="Indigo"]-=12=-[/COLOR][/B] click on "Load ROM", now choose your Kitchen/ Folder where you have
OEM/ROM/SYS folder, then click ok
[B][COLOR="Indigo"]-=13=-[/COLOR][/B] Click on RUN, once it finished loading the ROM. When you see the
word "Done" Close Ervius by clicking on the "X" button
(your DOS will run again, and ask you to press any key to start... Press
the "any key" :p )
[B][COLOR="Indigo"]-=14=-[/COLOR][/B] While it's running, it will open a tables with a bunch of numbers that
you don't understand
(it's checking the memory)... just close it by clicking on the "x" button.
(your Dos will run again, till you get your favorite Flash Window come up...
from here, you're on your own)
Don't forget to HardSPL your device before FLashing your device.
Let us know if this method work for you.
I'm also inviting all the Chefs to join the fun and provide us a Canadian version.
----------Credits----------
This tweak isn't perfect, but took me a while to make Rogers/Fido Display work. However I wouldn't be able to get this far without the helps of Da_G, NATF, trueg and a bunch of other people that I've bugged.
At least give some credits to those who have spent so much time to make this finally happened. Like Da_G said, a donation isn't required, but always appreciated.
Donate
Also, thank nitroblu and y2whisper and other Canadian users who has tested and post their results
There were many bounty offering for this discovery, but none of them keep their words... so disappointed... anyway
----------Found issues----------
1- Does not work while MSVC phone notification is activate.
2- May have issues with QuickGPS (not yet confirmed)
3- It froze my device every-time I run it with spb Wireless (need confirmation)
Can any Mod Change the topic of this one to "[Tut]First step to Canadian ROM, Rogers/Fido Display on your Fuze"

Thank you... Now, I'll leave the Rom Cooking to the real Chef... I'm going to bed
so happy now
Hi pandaboyy,
Thanks for doing all the hard work. I am in Toronto and use Rogers and ever since I got my Tilt2 earlier this year I have been missing the name display. I just got my Fuze from the states today and installed NATF v3.2 rom. I look forward to having name display working again.
Just one question: any way to put this in a cab or build it into NAFT roms?
Thanks again.
Rob.

Hey Rob,
I was about going to TO today to celebrate New Year Eve, but since I didn't sleep I got lazy out and drop the plan (true story). I don't think a cab would do the job. Da_G did explain it, but trust me, I still don't understand why
Da_G said:
Yes, the reason my method does not work is because the rilphone.dll is not signed with a trusted certificate as I stated..

And since I'm far from a chef, I really don't know how to cook a cab sorry.
However, try the cooking process that I mentioned in the first post. It's as easy as 1-2-3 and it's fun to start understand a little bit how your device work. Once you open the "de3f3189-9f71-4162-9f26-39393dcc8c94.rgu" file, you'll see that's the whole reg setting of your device. This may helps in the future, because you can actually customize your ROM so that whenever you re-flash it, your reg is already added.
Just try the Kitchen_Raphael (it's small and very easy). It'll take you about 15min to do the whole thing... with NAFT's permission, I'll try to release v3.2 with Rogers display. However, here is a good news for you; NATF is trying to release the first Canadian ROM very soon
Help me to Help you
I was trying change the entry in de3f3189-9f71-4162-9f26-39393dcc8c94.rgu file instead of replacing it to keep all the Tweaks that NATF has done. However, I come up with this error when I tried to build the ROM
"Error building default.hv and user.hv! (see "BuildOS-log.TXT")
I take a look at the file again, and I don't see any important different except for the file properties (ignore the size). Look at the image. The working file is hidden and the hidden option is disable. The non-working file is hidden, but not disable
how do I change make the file hidden and disable the option? I know that DOS can do it, but I just don't know the command.
EDIT---------------------- Solved the problem, but still want to know how to disable Hidden option-----------------------
Ok, I've read several post around the forum, and quite honestly, it didn't help much.
so I did a trial and error... If you want to edit your the de3f3189-9f71-4162-9f26-39393dcc8c94.rgu instead of replacing it, Don't overwrite the file.
1- After you finish to edit save it with another name eg: de3f3189-9f71-4162-9f26-39393dcc8c94_test.rgu.
2- Delete the original file (or move it somewhere else to be sure)
3- Rename your test file to the original name: de3f3189-9f71-4162-9f26-39393dcc8c94.rgu
4- Right click on the file, Properties then make it Hidden
(You may find this funny, but this is my amateur way)

that file has system attributes. run this from command prompt to remove all attributes & locked attributes.
attrib -s -h -r -a filename.ext
your rgu file must hv unicode encoding, REGEDIT4 in line 1 & blank space on last line to avoid rgucomp error.
Hope this helps.

You mean
attrib +s +h +a filename.ext
then leave 1 empty line on the last line... do I have to add 1 space as well?
Just has to end with a blank line, rather than ending with a registry entry

Ok, I have successfully change the rgu file. It's one of these Lines, but I don't know which yet and I have no energy today to test 1 by 1 again... so if you can test it for me it would be great

Perhaps someone can pick this up for me since I'm not much of a registry guy.
Here is a weird thing that I found about this Tweak
When someone call, the ID will display and all... However, in Call history, it will only display the caller Name if it's a missed call. If you answer it, then it won't show the name ID in call history, but only the number... I'm testing it with FuzeBerry v6 theme. Can anyone confirm this?
and if you know how to fix this, it would be great
Ok, for this tutorial, I deserved a kiss
History:
you all know how I didn't sleep for 2 days just to find what needed to be done to make it work. Now after my 10hr sleep and a bunch of parties for new years, I finally found a way to do this without cooking anything. I need someone to test it for me thou. I've tested on NATF's and Elite's ROM and it works. If this work, a thank you would do.
The Basic:
The Main idea to make this work is to replace the rilphone.dll file and add some registry into it, like I was explained in the first post. Some people claimed that those files need to be cooked in, well, you don't however, you can't just replace rilphone.dll it just doesn't work that way. But I found a way
So How to do it?
1- Download rilphone+reg.zip file from this post
2- Extract the file and you'll find
+rilphone.dll
+rilphone2.dll
+rilphone.reg
3- Copy rilphone2.dll into your Device in \Windows\ folder
4- Copy rilphone.reg anywhere
5- Importe rilphone.reg to your registry (I used resco registry to do this)
6- Change this registry from your device
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"Dll"="rilphone2.dll"
7- reboot
8- copy rilphone.dll into your device \Windows\ folder
9- Change the registry back to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"Dll"="rilphone.dll"
10- Soft Reset
11- Delete rilphone2.dll
12- Soft Reset
13- Give me a hug
***Please report which ROM have you tried this method with and if it works or not***
--------Edit---------
Ok, so it doesn't work for every ROM. It worked with Elite RC2, thou... I'll give it more tries tonight. Stay Tune
If you want to try this process, please make backup of rilphone.dll first
And please try to put step 5 at the end.
Instead of trying all this, try the cab on post #26... if it doesn't work, just uninstall it. Backup rilphone.dll first. Worst case, just do a hard reset.
---------------------
--------ROM tested with cab-------
- Elite RC2 -> Work
- Proven 1.08 -> did not work
- Romeo -> did not work
-------- I'm sick of flashing and hard reset, so I'll stop here. If you're already on other ROM. let me know.
Good to see you we're able to get this working.
I didn't modify any part of the RGU file in OEMDrivers, so I'm just gonna drop the new DLL and the RGU/DSM you provided here into my v4.0 kitchen.

Ya, it should work... however, can you check if the RGU/DSM file didn't affect QuickGPS? I didn't make any change there, but just check for sure.
Finally, I can sleep with ease now...
My next wish, somebody make a cab or 2 to make my previous post easier
Only problem with non-cook method will be, if target ROM is not cert patched, or doesn't have certificate loaded from rilphone.dll signature it will refuse to load rilphone.dll due to not being signed with a trusted cert..
hey pandaboy,
tried this on my fuze but didn't work, (using proven rom right now) my wireless radio stops working after. i even tried starting over by deleting your rilphone.dll file and softresetting to get my phone working and did the steps again. no go.
Same, my radio is not working now either. Is there anyway to get my radio back?
just delete the rilphone.dll file from your windows directory and perform a soft reset
