I understand (basically) the makerom idea but what I don't get is why you would want to put all the other programs available in the kitchen in ROM. do the run better there? or faster?
why we want to make own ROM is your question, right ?
Because your own ROM can put anything you want and remove everything that you don't need such as operator that you will never ever use.
the Second reason is when you have trouble to Hard reset without warning. Your device will comeback with program that you desire. Do not need to install everything again or need to wait until you back to home and restore from your computer.
That should be the reason that I try to make my owned ROM.
OK, so you are saying that if I load the programs into rom instead of ram that when I reset(hard) all programs are reloaded?
Do the programs work better or faster if they are in rom instead of ram?
yes. Surely right.!!!! all programs installed in the rom must access fater than any other ram no matter how fast your memory card is.
OK, but more stupid ROM questions
My unit was originally an unlocked German T-Mobile branded MDA.
I flashed it with an O2 UK ROM to get English.
I use it with T-Mobile US.
I don't need all the O2 apps.
Device info:
OS=USB 32 1.60.00 WWE
Device=PH10
Operator Name=O2
Language=WWE
Ext ROM version=1.60.50
Radio=1.10.00
I am unclear as to which base rom to pick in the rom kitchen http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
This one? 4.01.16 ENG. Isn't that rom for WM2003 for the T- MO pocket pc phone?
Should I use the ruu172126wwe_imate.exe, file version 4.1.100.1332 instead?
my head hurts
*** ATTENTION ***
ROM's from the ROM kitchen are only for XDA I not for XDA II.
Don't f**k up your device by trying to update your device with ROMs from the ROM kitchen.

maybe LumpiStefan should put some kind of warrning on his kicthen so people notice that it's xda1 only
The WM5 devices have a different bootloader than the WM6 versions (1.01 vs 1.04) and the 1.01 might be useful for us loading custom roms if it has extra features or less restrictions. I found out a way to copy the SPL data from your device that is safe and fairly easy, but it is a little technical.
If you are up for the challenge please try the instructions i posted at PPCgeeks:
http://www.ppcgeeks.com/viewtopic,p,69311.html#69311
The file and instructions needed are also posted on ftp:

Hopefully someone will be able to pull this off before upgrading.
Thanks!
Oh, come on... make this sticky! I really hope the right person notices this, and it won't be seen if it makes it's way to page 47.
We already have the telus and alltel wm5 dumps. If there is a lingering sprint test wm5 phone out there it would be nice, but i'm not expecting too many of those
Hey,
Newbie here. I own two smartflips bought from i-mate hq (Dubai). However, i'm now in Aus. WM6 looks nice and i must say, great work and appreciation for those who cook up these ROMs. However, i noticed that all these ROMs start off from either Cingular or QTEK or HTC. why leave i-mate ROMs behind guys? Anyways, before i try out any of these ROMs, i just don't want to end up killing my phone. I've searched high and low for i-mate stock ROMs (WM5). I saw one in a post but that was like WWE or something which i'm not sure what it means. I don't want to register on i-mate and do loads of form-filling and IMEI filling just to get some ROMs. Anyone have any idea of where i can acquire some 'stock' WM5 i-mate ROMs (not qtek or cingular or htc or wotever).
The other thing.. i haven't SuperCID-ed my smartflip. I tried to get to the bootloader (for no reason.. just experimenting) by pressing the keys n all but it doesn't show up. it goes to the i-mate screen.. then flashes an HTC logo and boots WM5. Once again my smartflip is Out-of-the box, hope that helps someone explaining the phenomena. i do have the i-mate CD that came with it. However didn't find and option to install Windows Mobile 5.0. I need a ROM to keep a backup in case i screw up. If anyone could help me obtain an i-mate WM5 ROM, it would be greatly appreciated.
Also, how would one find out the IPL and SPL of the smartflip? As i mentioned i wouldn't like to brick my phone. It is mentioned somewhere that the 3.06 or wotever IPL and SPL version are not capable of flashing through micro-sd card. Not sure but i think the 4.0 or wotever can flash through micro-sd card. Apart from the link(to files) posted in a thread, isn't there an 'official' way of getting to update the IPL and SPL?
Sorry for such a long post. One thing i must say, great work guys. I would like to suggest people to follow up on their threads. there was one 'bricked' post but the person said he found a solution but never posted what his solution was. It would be helpful if he could have posted the solution as it does help others. Apologies if i said anything wrong.
Thanks,
Dan.
You used to be able topick up Imate roms from ftp://ftp.clubimate.com
But they won't be nearly as good as the cooked Wm6 ones. Just follow the instruction and flash away.
(WWE means worldwide english)
Flash one of the cooked ones! I use Erofich's 6.1 and it's great.
WWE just means WorldWideEnglish as opposed to other languages.
Good luck
I have a SmartFlip upgraded with GnatGoSplat's WM6 ROM (Eurofich' WM6 is better but GPRS doesn't work): it works fast and without problems.

Hi,
Thank you all for your responses. i-mate roms at imate ftp site is confirmed. Thanks unwired. The thing is i take calculated risks and have most info before i do some thing. so if i end up somehow bricking my phone, i will know what to do before dad kills me . Now i just need to update the IPL/SPL and get into bootloader to see if it works. Then gonna flash with WM6 or WM6.1. I just needed a stock ROM to keep as backup because its mentioned somewhere that if your phone is bricked, u can try to flash it using micro-sd card flashing. but that only works with stock ROMs if WM6 flashing fails. Anyways, thanks once again. i will keep you guys updated on my progress.. Thanks!
Best Regards,
Dan.

Hi,
Sorry for multiple questions. I still haven't been able to get into the bootloader by pressing the voice notes and camera and power on key. I'm still not sure how it goes. Do you have to hold the keys, press the power button and let go immediately of all the three keys or do you have to hold the power button for long with holding the voice and camera keys? i need to check which version of the bootloader i have to make sure it supports flashing from micro-sd. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Dan.
EDIT: I was also looking for some way to backup software from my current WM5 ROM. There are some apps that come in-built which i like. But since i don't have the .cab(s) i was wondering if there would be a way to backup software and later on install it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Out of a million tries, I only managed to get into the bootloader ONCE that way. Okay, I exaggerate, but I found it almost impossible to use RECORD, CAMERA, and POWER to get into bootloader. Instead, I've found with the phone OFF, press RECORD, CAMERA, and plug the USB connector into the PC while holding those buttons. It goes into Bootloader every single time that way.
You can back up the built-in apps, but it requires figuring out which files belong to which app, and also getting their registry entries. Then you can either manually copy all those files into the phone and manually import the registry entries, or make them into a cab file to automate it.
WOW.. thnx for that!
Yup! Worked like a charm! i have IPL/SPL 1.02 or wotever.. so i don't need to worry about micro-sd card flashing problems ( i hope i never need to use that in my life). So if it works this way.. i would recommend others who have bricked their phones and trying to flash it holding the record, and camera button while phone is off, plug it in the usb. As soon as i did that, Vista picked it up as a mobile device. the bootloader ( the screen sucks! what a dreadful combination of colors!) also shows a usb sign at the bottom. I hope this info helps those who bricked/killed their phone and were finding it hard to re-flash it. As it is mentioned in some thread... if wm6 flashing fails, u have to revert back to stock rom WM5 (cingular rom for cingular phone, i-mate rom for i-mate, etc) and then re-flash with WM6. I wonder if rom update utilities work when in bootloader connected to pc.
Once again, thanks for your reply GnatGoSplat. As for the apps, yea.. i know its bad. I did check over onto the i-mate site and found a file 'Arabic...' something. it didn't mention it as a rom so i'm hoping they are the software packages that come with the default middleast rom. You might have heard of 'Portableapps' on PCs. They are little beauties. Because the original windows and windows mobile are linked closely.. i might wonder if there could be a way to port those ( or even create your own) onto windows mobile. I know how to make portableapps so if you need any info, i think i could help unless someone knows better.
So where do i get the SDA_ApplicationUnlock file? Thanks.

Dan.

Hi,
Thanks for the file Erofich. Unfortunately, I've just been caught up with studies and hence will not be able to work on modding my i-mate until i get some free time. however, i'm still going to try to work on an 'Ultimate WM6 for Startrek Guide'.
Its just that its better for end-users because some of the information is scattered around and 'some' of the instructions are a bit hard to follow (no offense to anyone). If anyone has any concerns or is against my actions, please let me know.

May somebody please upload the german HTC or T-Mobile Rom from Athena x7510?
Maybe it isn't necessary to dump it because it is possibly on the software cd or avalible for download for owners with a serial number.

Sorry, it is not. You need to wait until cooked versions get on the forum. But for this we need our spl solution. Please go to General section and find thread asking for subsection for X7510 and place your vote for it. Without it OliNex group wan't start their work on Hard/Soft SPL solution.
Done. I've voted.
But just for being sure you understood me right.
I wanna have the german x7510 Rom to flash it on my x7500 an add keyboard and microdrive drivers.
What I asked for in my Post was if so. may dump the rom if it isn't possible to download.

Then you need rom for x7500, not for x7510. These are plenty to choose from, also german version have sean somware. Go to the link which list all roms for Athena. I have sean there links to german roms as well.
Do you meen this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397518 or this http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Athena_Upgrades List?

Thats true. There is no original german 6.1 rom not even english WWE version. I told you already. They do not exist as files available because nither HTC nor any other party has released it. It was only in X7510 devices.
Some devs here like Pawel has dumped it from X7510 (but WWE version) and then used for their work. But that means their roms were already cooked. You can not dump rom from one machine and then load it to another one, cose after dumping you get a bunch of files wich you have to put togather, cooke a rom. This means you need to have unlock you CID at least or if you have a t-mobile ameo, then sim unlock as well.
So those german cooked versions are the only available, according to my knowledge.
Thank you for this informations. Now I understand what's the Problem.
But is it difficult to dump a rom?
Because the dump of a german htc or tmobile 6.1 rom would be very usefull for me, even I cant flash them directly because I know so. who wants to beginn cook a german rom version.
But therefor he needs the dump.
So my question:
Is it difficult to dump and can one use this advise for it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334680 ?
And how difficult is it to ripp the htc programms from the dumped rom and make cabs of them?
An other question:
There was such a nice rom kitchen for the wallaby http://www.romkitchen.de/ .
One was able to simly choose with one click what should be in one's rom.
Is this possible for Athena to? and do you think this will be programmed anytime?
Because even with the existing irus rom kitchen its very difficult I think.

You can try Sogarth's Hypercore kitchen. It is more user friendly.

Kitchen is one thing, ingredients are the other. You can use Sogatrhs kitchen and put german dumped rom in it and then cooke it according to your needs.
Howewer, I think there is already cooked german rom made out of mixture of wwe6.1 and some german version.
Yes I know that I could use the rom kitchen for flashing a german dumped rom but this is exactly what I'm asking for.
Please post the link if you know a german dump.

I do not think there is one. Never heard of.
But you can take the German rom ready cooked by somebody else (there is one as you know) and dissemble it in Sogarth's Kitchen. Then you can take what you want from it and put into Sogarth's base, changing in this way all files necessary for German language, for example. You would make some changes in XIP and regs as well to change the language.
Or the other way, taking some files from Sogarth's base into your German base taken from this German cooked rom.
Of course to do it right, you must know what you are doing, but it is the same as cooking rom for x7500 out of x7510, which is different machine and has different drivers.
However I have never sow any post from anybody saing that he has German X7510 version, so rather no chance for dumped German rom from this device. I actualy doubt if HTC has ever released German version. The same about T-Mobile, but I could be wrong.
Hi,
I have an XDA atom which originally had windows 5.0
After looking around this site i upgraded to 6.5
I was wondering is there any problems/issues with downgrading to perhaps 6.1 as i read somewhere on here that 6.5 uses a lot of RAM.
Also, is 6.1 a good choice? Or should i stick with 6.5? The version of 6.5 was developed by Khoa ha if that helps at all. (
Code:
showthread.php?t=513809
)
I'm new at this so apologies if these are 'newbie' questions or if i have posted something incorrectly.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Paul.
Can anyone help??
Hi luapb,
If you are comfortable with 6.5, you should just stick to it, unless the performance is actually bothering you as WM6.5 is meant for devices with bigger ram and memory.
Anyway, you can upgrade and downgrade back and forth between 6.5 and 6.1 and 6 without any special downgrading or upgrading procedure. Just do the usual by going into bootloader or via activesync, make sure DSUU and other required files are in \window\temp and execute the DSUU program. You need to make sure the temp directory is cleaned out before copying new ROM's into it otherwise you might get undesirable results.
As for WM6.5, you can try Helloworld1, Glossyx1, Searcher or Tabbe's version, I think theirs are better than Khoa Ha as I remember reading somewhere, Khoa Ha's version are not very RAM and battery friendly.
As for WM6.1, you can try Helloworld1, Glossyx1 or Pdaviet's built 20764(get clean ver) as these are the clean and basic without those additional applications put in as OEM.
I would suggest you try first Jiggs ROM(0.7a.0 B3) WM6 first and then work your way up to decide which ROM suits you best.......
Happy flashing and discovering....
Thanks vincentshjuan
