If you want to link a shortcut to the extended ROM, you are NOT creating a link into the extended ROM, you should create a link in the "\windows\programs" directory which links to (WM6) "\_QHiddenPartition\somewhat.exe"
To make use that there will be a link built when fresh hard reset / flash, you should amend the initflashfiles.dat with a addition line: Directory("\Windows\Programs"):-File("somewhat.lnk","\windows\somewhat.lnk")

Extended ROM Unlocking

Hi guys,
I've got an XDAII and I want to be able to see / edit the extended rom...
I've found the cab files I need (elsewhere in this forum) but I have no idea whatsoever how to use them?!?!
I can't run them, so there must be either an app I need or somewhere I need to put them, right?
Please help
Thx
Have you transfeered the cab file to your phone and executed from there?
It's a cab file. You put it on the XDA II in a folder of your choice, then run it, after reboot you will find a new icon in Programs. The rest is simple. :wink:
When I try to run it I get:
The is no application associated with "00unhide". Run the application first, then open this file from within the application.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Please post the link to the exact file so I can download and test it.
I just got it working...
After I downloaded the .cab, as I have WinRar I thought that it was something that needed extracting and it didn't!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=567
that's the link anyway, but it works perfectly!
Sorry for being such a idiot
No problem, hope its all sorted for you now.

How To: Atom Series Extended Rom Cooking

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

How To: Modify a ROM.

Over the coming days, I shall be writing more below as a tutorial for ROM cooking/Modification.
First, you will need a ROM kitchen. For ease of use, I would recommend Inteks Neokit which can be found here.
Next you will need a base ROM (any Prophet ROM will do) many can be found here.
Now, load neokit and then select the "Select nb/nbf" option. Select the ROM you want to modify and then click "dump rom". This will deconstruct the ROM and put all the files included in the ROM into a single directory.
If you know the files you want to change (such as images) you can simply find them in the "dump" folder (click on the "..." button on neokits main screen) and replace them with the files you want.
If you want to add a program, you can do it two ways:
Create an OEM Package.
Install a CAB after the flashing of the ROM.
If you want to change the registry, the "default.rgu user.rgu" tab must be selected.
To change shorcuts, you will need to edit the "initflashfiles.dat".
After modifying the ROM, you will need to build it back up so that you can flash it. Go to the main screen and click "build ROM" click yes, and then you will have to wait for this to complete.
Now you need to turn the *.nb files into a *.nbf. Follow the instructions in neokit for this.
This will be updated with more detail when I have the time to do so.
If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask as I and others will be willing to help.
What can be safely removed?
Below are the names of packages that can be removed without causing instabilities. Having said that, the may dramatically reduce the functionality of a ROM. The best way to find out what ca be removed is to try it yourself, flash it and see if anything works/doesn't work and then build on it from there. Post your findings here and help someone else!
Internet Explorer-Related Packages
Browsing--Base for IE
Browsing_DPI_96--Images related to IE
Browsing_Lang_XXX (where XXX is the region code) Can be removed or replaced for localisation.
BROWSINGCORE--This might cause instabilities to the OS as lots of programs rely on these files
Also reserved.
Thanks...
It's really helped...

This question can't be answered, it is a bit the same as "How do I get to Amsterdam?" Without telling us where you are!
How can anyone tell you what is to be removed in your ROM if we don't know what files are there in the first place? This can be different depending on wich ROM you use; some are allready "cleaned out" while others are stuffed to the max.
But above all, it is up to you to decide what you will sacrifice to create more space. The challengeing part of this game is to try, explore and discover and experience that overwhelming satisfaction when a plan comes through!!
So, my advice: don't bother to refrase your question but just go for it yourself....

You have to overwrite the MUI files, change some paths in the Regsitry (default.hv and user.hv, konvert them first) and change the paths in the initflashfiles.dat! That's all!

hi l3v5y :Moderator,
I was a new member of xdaDef...
i'd ever cook the rom base on the RK at PDAMobiz.com..
But i got the prob. about how to add the program into the OEM package 'coz some programs i got that contained the old version.
Anyway i used the package creator 5.5 to do create it into the OEM file...
after that i can collect the program in OEM and can build OS but after upping the ROM ....
it;s got HANG.... Oh no..
I tried many many time to change something but i didn't have the knowledge about RM..
could u pls. suggest me by e-mail how to cook the rom by myself after i d/l the SYS, OEM, and XIP of "CE 5.2.19960 (issue form HTC Raphael) ported for ELF"..
I wanna be a rom cooker asap....
Best Regards,
JoeMan

Also another suggestion:
When removing one or more software you should also remove the setting in initflashfiles.dat and the registry in default/user.rgu, that's call clean remove.
When adding softs, also include adding path and registry also.
For better removing or adding soft you should look inside their cab (I use WinCE cab manager)

Oke
For instance, you want to add smsbackup in your rom
Open smsbackup.cab with wince cab
There are 2 files (exe and dll), 1 shortcut (lnk) and 4 registry entry
So, you should add 3 files (exe. dll, and lnk) to dump folder (adding fiile from neokit tools from Inteks)
Adding some initflash.dat with some path (where do you want to put the link file)
Adding 4 registry key in default or user.rgu
For removing, the process will be reversing.
Hope this will help you
I think you should try practicing.

Questions about constructing ROM

Hello, users of xda !
I have some questions about constructing my own ROM:
1. How to kill link Windows Media in Star Menu-Programs? Windows Media is not package and i can't edit his initflashfiles.txt file. So where I can kill his link?
2. How to add information about ROM, add image in setting About and modify copyright. See the pictures.
3. How to change waiting animation?
I will be very glad to everybody who would answer my questions!
mmmm ask to utaker VIA PM or in his kitchen thread
this has been modded in a file called Shellres.XXXX.mui Hexadecimal
to change the Windows animation you can find it inside a file called shellres.dll open it with a reshacker or PExplorer
to change the Windows media lnk just go to the media folder in sys and check for the RGU that has the lnks adress or make a shortcut in your functional rom to the place you want it... the go to that folder... and rewrite the existent lnk oh!
and delete its extension.

Hi + Que PPC.
Sorry but I'm a Newbie and trying to navigate the site.
Having great difficulty (its so large & packed full of goodies.
Already an issue.
Acquired a TyTn/Hermes (UK Orange SPV M3100) and find that the Microphone does not work during calls.
It will work when Recording Notes.
The headset works OK for calls and Notes.
Recently the Microphone started working fine for 5 mins with calls and then would not work.
Is this a common problem ?
Can it be fixed Software wise.
Is it better to use a MicroSD Card to flash a new ROM
Is it better to use the HTC ROM first.
What is the best (Stable) WM version WM6.0, 6.1 or 6.5?
And what about TouchFlo.
Can I get that installed as well ?
Sorry about posting in the wrong place.
However I do a lot of voluntary work in the Third World.
(will be travelling soon !)
Most of the posts are quite old.
I am trying to find a Senior Member on the site.
Is there Personal Messaging Available.

No, after I modify this file with Restorator and rebuild ROM I didn't see any changes, because you need to modify file S000 in folder of Shellres.XXXX.mui which, I think, is clone of Shellres.XXXX.mui... I can modify it ONLY with HEX editor, but it is very difficult, and more easy to edit file Shellres.XXXX.mui with resource editor.
Maybe somebody know tool to convert Shellres.XXXX.mui to S00* files?

Not the folder man! the mui is already tranfomed into module... by that folder and its S000X files! search for the mui file! in your oem packages
When i get home i can provide you the path... but... wich app did you use to open it? open all the ress dlls maybe one of those is the good one. is in the oem folders.
Well so do the shortcut trick i told you then... or try editong the initflash files in lang XXX folder in your oem packages.

Search for kitchen

Hi,
I have been using a few kitchens but none of them can dump its own generated ROM back, what I did is:
1. use this kitchen to create RUU_SIGNED.NBH.
2. use this kitchen to dump from NBH file just created.
3. No OEM and SYS directory are created or the directory are created but no files inside.
Can anyone recommend a kitchen which can have files sorted to OEM and SYS in step 3?

Hey HTC_FUZE, Why do you want/need to dump your own ROM? Surely if you have the kitchen - the OEM and SYS are already there! Why don't you just recook with the changes that you want to make to it?
If your trying to dump somebody else's ROM then it may be protected. Some chefs protect their ROMs from being dumped.

just in case my hdd is dead or files corrupted, so I still have chance to extract rom from my phone and get the same dump as before
Ahhhh...

My best advice to you is to do what i do BACK UP!!! When i first started i never backed my kitchen up, then i lost my whole kitchen, had to start from scratch!! Now, every couple of builds i backup the whole kitchen to a rar and save on a external drive.
A few weeks ago my working kitchen got corrupted somehow, i just restored the rar, imported the new build and was cooking again in no time - without the backup, i'd be knackered!!!

The OEM folders unfortunately end up in the SYS folder when you dump them. Simply pull them out and put them into the OEM folder and you're set. Something to do with the kitchens recreating the DSM's incorrectly.
@jwzg:
Correct; unfortunately, most kitchens strip the .DSM/.RGU during ROM compilation. Ervius tried to implement a method to preserve the .DSM/.RGU for decompilation but it didn't work as he'd hoped.
@HTC_FUZE:
You need to backup your working kitchen; unfortunately there's no other way. I usually do the following:
File copy the kitchen to a backup HDD
File copy the compiled .NBH I used on the device to a backup HDD
.RAR the kitchen
You could go one extra step and burn the lot to a CD/DVD.
HTH,
This is what I am doing now. However, I would like to have such a kitchen I mentioned. I found one of the ROMs I downloaded can be dumped and sorted like official ROM. I may ask him which kitchen he uses.
I have a Wizard ROM which can be dumped like this. It was made with with an old kitchen that is incompatible with newer devices.
