Windows ROM Editor 2003 Question - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development

Dear all,
I use to use Windows ROM Editor 2003 to see, add files and change the bootloader image on the ROMs. For some reason now when I open WM6.1,6.0 or 5.0 the editor does not show any files. It just shows the version of the rom and that is it.
Am I doing something wrong or is it that 5.0 upward ROMs cannot be edit using Rom Editor 2003?
Here what I can see when I open the nbf files now. Please see attached image.
All the buttons, tabs above don't work. When I click on them nothing happens.
I am using Windows XP 32bit NTFS
Please advise.
Many thanks
Regards
J

hence the name ER2003 Edit ... its only for WM2003

Oh haha! Well where can I find one for WM6 then? I searched online but the only ROM editor I can find is 2003.

there is none for WM6 because that software was actually built to read ExtROM of WM2003 devices, ER2003Edit = Stands for ExtROM Editor for WM2003, though with few tricks (passwords actually) they were able to open the ROM too

How to open new ROMs (like ITA) with ER2003Edit

Hi,
just a tip for opening the latest ROM files with ER2003Edit:
ER2003Edit has a file type selector in the file open box which is by default set to autodetect.
in autodetect mode ER2003Edit tries all encryption passwords it knows for any type of ROM (NK,Radio,ms_)
when using autodetect mode and your ROM does not get detected and you enter the correct password manually, you will receive an "Error accessing image files" message
To prevent this message choose the correct type of ROM (ms_.nbf) from the file type selector of the file open dialog and enter the password
ER2003Edit can open and edit all types of ROM files now in order to let you change the language and device type settings (to prevent country code error)
Tip: Opening ROM files is always faster when you do not use autodetect mode!
BTW here are the passwords for the ITA-Rom:
ms_.nbf: 0x20040305
nk.nbf: 0x20040304
radio_.nbf 0x20040306
A new version of ER2003Edit will have these passwords built in, but I currently do have no time for a new release just to include the passwords.
Enjoy!
fantastic
thank you very much
Works
Thanks
Softworks, are the the old passwords hardcoded into the app?
I reckon on your next update, maybe you could just make the app read an XML (or text, whatever) file with the passwords. So you can easily just add passwords in the future onto the text without having to recompile a newer version.
Also, since when talking about XDAII files, we're only talking about 3 filenames which never change. Maybe you could make a load process to simply check the filename which has been opened and use the corresponding "file process" to open it. Sort of like instead of autodetect when you open files. Have a simple check that checks wether one clicked either of the 3 files, then have a script that mimmicks selecting manually the filetype instead of "autodetect." That should eliminate the "nuances" of opening files (especially helpful for us n00bs hehe)
Cheers,
Carlo
Sorry, Iwould like to ask how / where to find the password of the images?
Thanks!
Hi All,
I have images which can't open by ER2003edit V1.2.20, it say the password is incorrect. Anyone can help or teach?
The rom image is from O2, the rom version is 1.60 or higher.
Thanks!

See here:

Here is a patched version of ER2003Edit.exe that has the new 3 passwords. Auto detection now works. :lol:
Just unzip then copy it over installed ER2003Edit.exe usually found in
C:\Program Files\softworkz\ER2003Edit\ER2003Edit.exe

Hi!
Thanks. It works.

PDA: O2 XDA II
ROM Version: 2.06.00WWE
Radio Version: 1.18.00
ExtROM Version: 1.12.924WWE (from IIs)
OS: Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition
OS Version: 4.21.1088 (Build 14132)
Any reason I am getting shcksum errors?
I chenaged the content of ms_.nbf save it, and tried to flash it, but I gor error 122 - checksum error?
Any known reason for that?
Looks like I am out of my depth but its worth a try
I have a blueangle and have worked out that there are more tools on in Himalaya than for us.
I have further worked out that the upgrade works in the same way.
So I would think that this tool does, Well I am either wrong or just dumb.
Is my undersatnding correct that this application would only have the paswords for the at that time Known rom realeases.
Is my understanding that even with a password out of a xda3nbtool this toll will not work if you add it in the dialog.
Thus I seem to find that if I fill in the device name, op and lang as well as pasword I fail, same is true if leave them blank.
Please help me out or point me in the correct direction
Thanks

Translate 2003SE ROM 2.20 Chinese--> English

Anyone know how to translate this ROM 2.20Chinese to English...
so we can have wmp10 in our XDA, and other features that is better than 2.06 and 2.02 ROM....
mamaich : can you teach us how to translate the english langguage, or you can upload this rom 2.20 that have been translate to english in this forum... big hope
Or the original rom of 2.20 CHS because when i try to download through the link you provided.... I always cannot completed the download and that file was not on your website (when i try to visit the page directly).
thx in advance
I also have mailed some days ago to Mamaich asking for some info about Win2k3se and Wmp10 translation..
Now we all waiting..
The test version of English ROM made from chinese 2.20 is uploaded to http://mamaich.kasone.com/imate/en.rar
archive contains nk.nba file that should be processe d with xda2nbftool and flashed.
I've uploaded mkrom toolkit used to create this ROM to: http://mamaich.kasone.com/imate/mkrom_220chs.rar (18.5 mb)
Original toolkit is taken from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/mkrom
To use it you'll need Linux or CygWin enviroment (I use cygwin), Perl, hex editor (I use HIEW). You should place new files to files1...files5 directories. Here is the maximal size these directories can be:
Files1: 655360 bytes
Files2: 1245184 bytes
Files3: 262144 bytes
Files4: 524288 bytes
Files5: 1114112 bytes
Toolkit would not warn you if this size is exceeded and would produce dead ROMs.
Files1 folder should contain mxip_MYXIP_100.rgu file which is a modified registry. CreateEngLinks.exe is a program that runs after hardreset and creates english folders and links. I was unable to patch the initobj.dat and default.fdf files in ROM, so I had to create this program.
cfg\os.nb1 is a "base" ROM image with some files renamed. You should not touch default.fdf, initobj.dat and kernel.rgu
When you run ./a.sh file it would produce a new ROM named nk.nb1. Use any hex editor to place this file to offset 0x40040 of NK.NBA I've posted in the prev. message and modify it's CRC and encrypt:
xda2nbftool.exe -c -u NK.nba
xda2nbftool -x NK.nba NK.nbf 0x20040304
Use this toolkit at your own risk. Addresses in ./a.sh are taken from 2.20.07 chinese simplified ROM and should be modified to be used with other ROMs. You may completely destroy your device if this toolkit is used incorrectly.
Hey mamaich,
that's perfect! THANX
Let me try it now...

Hi Mamaich... can you tell me what is the difference about this two files or links.
1. http://mamaich.kasone.com/imate/chineese_se.rar
2. http://mamaich.kasone.com/imate/en.rar
Is the number 1 totally 100% Chinnese? and the number 2 is 80% English, 20% Chinnese?
Thank You...

XDA2 WM2003 SE 2.20.07 WWE
Hi,
for your convenience I just created regular upgrade package out of mamaich's nk.nba file.
PERFECT WORK mamaich... )))
It is Country ID and Operator ID INDEPENDENT, however it will change your device to Qtek + WWE after upgrade.
If you don't like that, just edit .nbf files yourself.
OS version 2.20.07
Radio version: 1.18.00
Extended ROM is NOT included, because I believe, that anyone can build his own Ext ROM to suit his personal taste...
Get it here:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Himalaya_SE/Himalaya_WM2003SE_2.20.07_Upgrade.zip
Unpack and run HimaUpgradeUT.exe

Hi.. is that 100% english or youve just rip it to mamaich room? still 80% English? sorry for this stupid question...
RE
Hi!
What are the major differences between the WM2003se Chinese-to-English ROM vs the available other 3 English ROMs
I suppose it can read/write chinese sms without the use of 3rd-party program?
How's the bluetooth performance? Still has the vanishiing Headset icon on the Today screen?
Thanks
i upgraded with the 2.20 file, anything runs fine, except, i can't turn on my qtek2020 with any button, neither the power button, nor the application buttons. only way to turn it on is doing a soft-reset or getting an incoming call..
what went wrong with the update??
regards epo
Great work mamaich and buzz_lightyear!!! Unbelievable work the both of you!!!
I have not yet tried and will do so in due time, but I am fairly certain that it is yet another accomplishment to be highly commended...
- Cheers and thanks again for the excellent work
Hey Epo.... is it full english? ot still like the same with mamaich rom?
it seems to be fully english.. anything works fine, except i can't turn it on with the buttons..
ok, now it works, seems to be a problem of my extended rom..
i reflashed it without executing the extended rom and now it works!
great work mamaich!!!!
Hi all, few questions ...
1. Does this ROM still have the hide&seek effect with the BT profile plug-in ?
2. The other 2 versions have only 3 alarms for the clock, and I really miss the 4th one in 1.72
3. It took me some time to localize the 2.06 one on my I-mate, did any one try this ROM with the arabic language ?
The MOST stable rom from among SEs
Hi,
Thanks Guys!
This is the most stable one from all SEs.
To make it more stable, turn off your radio when doing soft-resets and don't install or edit any language registry values! And don't use software that works with them, such as LENG and other.
Does anyone know how to enable russian language input mode now?
Rom: 2.20CHS
Radio: 1.18
Ext: 1.72-IMATE
Some Anomalies?
Hi!
When I open Programs -> File Explorer -> My Documents, I see some folders with square boxes as folder names. Any purpose for these folders? They are empty. Can I delete them?
One thing I found is that when my phone is off my O2 II will soft reset if I tap the GPRS icon on the Today screen top bar. Is this normal or am I getting a new soft reset button?
Thanks
:roll:
More square boxes
Again, when I go to Programs -> File Explorer -> Program Files I see a square box folder. Another thing is that there're two WMP folders. One of them is Windows Media PlayerCS which on opening display square boxes
Next, is if I go to Windows I see a square box folder right on the first line. If you tap on it it'll open with more square box folders and the icons - Help, Calendar, Phone, Contacts and Messaging come with square box names.
I presume all these square boxes are in chinese not properly translated yet.
Hope to see an updated version soon
Thanks
Hi,
I see square boxes in the "Connections" settings panel too.
Good work!
Thanks,

wm2003 to wm2003se

how can i flash my rom to wm2003se....can anyone guide...izzit using the xda developers 3rd ver.zip or sin merge v2.0???
Read all the posts and decide for yourself which one is best to suit your needs. None of the ROM are perfect by any means.
Inproper flashing or mistakes in the flashing would render your unit useless. So do take note of the disclaimer carefully. Ultimately, you are responsible for what you do.
Just a note. Most of the questions and problem faced are already answered in the forum. So do read all of them and do not panic if your device failed to upgrade and become useless. Do a search in the forum and read more.
All the best in your quest for the rom upgrade.

Newbie to the Community-old SX56

Hi there- I inherited an SX56- but can't seem to download new proggies to it! Not too sure if it has PC2002 or 2003, but i can tell you it has:
ROM Version 3.17.03 ENG
Radio: A.20.10
I tried using installing ActiveSync- but I guess I need a serial key or something.
Since I couldn't find a post on how to build with current updates- can someone reply or re-direct to a post that lists what I need to make this baby current so I can install some of the cool utilities for this PDA?
Thanks again!
PS: Im running XDA-developers SW on this baby!
activesync can be freely downloaded from ms's site
and require not serial
if it ask for code when you connect your pda it's the pda's
user set code it wants
ok- got the latest active sync- 4.5 build. I still can't seem to successfully run .msi files or .cab files to and from the sx56. I tried dropping the .cab files to different directories- since its probably looking for PPC2002 files as well to run the program. I also downloaded CNET framework v2.0.2...still can't seem to install programs onto the pocket PC
any ideas?
Cheers!
i think msi files was ment to run from the pc not the ppc

Editing UserAgent in browser.dll

Hi all
If I want to be able to acces OrangeWorld and TV (wap portal and mobile TV from my provider) I must use a branded device or provide an authorized UserAgent. Yes it's like most of people...
Usualy I use NetFront but today I've decided to make it big and patching browser.dll to use pocketIE. After 3-4 hour googling I finally succeeded on extracting browser.dll off of the nk.nbf provided by Prophet ShadoW 1.0 (rom that I currently use). I've patched it with a hex edit program and tried to put it in the Windows directory.
I simply can't put anything who already exists in the windows folder. How can I do to use this patched version of the dll ?
If someone can help it would be nice
AnarX
