So is there a way I can do this on my G4 8125? I've been trying, but have not been successful.
Extended ROM basically consists of large number of CAB files. Go to the ftp and get hold of some of the ROM packages in ZIP format and unzip the EXT rom. Unlock your EXT ROM and replace everthing with the one you've downloaded. Done.
Personally, I don't use Ext Rom. Upon hard reset, I just skip the Ext Rom installation and I install my stuff manually, which I think gives more flexibility. I had my phone backup-ed into an EXE file which I can use when I hardreset next time.
I don't know how to unlock it, and I can't even stop my Cingular one from installing every time.
To stop it from installing, upon hardreset, softreset your phone just after the security option (eg when it asked you to set your PIN for the phone). It should skip installing the EXT ROM.
I'm not sure if it is read only or not, but you can try. Download and open Total Commander (for PPC), at the top section of TC, enter this
Code:
\Extended_ROM
It will show you stuff in your Ext Rom. See if you can overwrite it.
If the extended_rom is protected like in G3 >2.xx SPLs then you have no luck there. Even if you change something and it looks like it worked you'll get bad checksums on next soft-reset and all data in extended-rom will be deleted

exactly what happened to me.
after it had bad checksums, strange characters and folders, i formatted the extemded rom using wizard service tool ver 4.2.1
now my extended rom is empty... but i have a copy of it on the PDA in a different folder and on my PC.
Is there a way to restore it?

Absolutely. Simply use WST and select the "Write ROM" option. Then select "Extended ROM" and upload the backup from your PC.
Hi All,
Is there any way to build own ExtROM?
Thanks
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.

and another question : how to edit or change cabs? I have a background of programming with c++ and visual basic.net. Is it possible for me to create my own cab without too much effort? and with which compiler ?

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.
I'm trying to build a UC solution that will reinstall not only my cab files upon a reflash or hard reset but will restore as many phone settings and customizations as possible. The goal is to require only an ActiveSync to get the phone exactly back into the pre-flashed/-reset state.
One thing I'm struggling with is copying back large numbers of files. Having to copy files one at a time in a provisioning XML file seems awkward and I don't know of a tool to automatically accept a folder and generate the long sequence of XML. I've tried Sashimi instead of UC Config, but I am not becoming as large a fan as some - I don't like the fact that Sashimi won't run automatically from a fresh re-flash due to its use of MortScript (unless MortScript is run manually first, the .mscr extension isn't registered to it and Sashimi fails). Plus, Sashimi is a bit too manual in manual mode (for those cabs that are interactive and won't install automatically), requiring intervention to move from cab to cab.
What are others doing to copy over entire folders worth of files (such as HTCHome, to restore customized clock and icon styles generated by HTC Home Customizer)? Is there an XML command for copying an entire folder that UC understands or is there at least a good tool for converting an entire folder into a file-by-file XML copying sequence? Alternatively, is there a good solution for getting Sashimi to run completely automatically upon fresh re-flash without first running MortScript as well as the UC-specific CAB file that tells Sashimi to autorun on the next soft reset?
You put all the files into a cab and tell it where to install. I don't use XML at all anymore with UC.

If I can get the settings right, it looks much easier to get multiple files copied, reg settings entered, and a few other things done. I just need to get it set up right and I am at work so I have to plug along doing a little at a time. Guess I should read the manual
I get a statement saying that it is not for the right OS, anyone have experience with WinCE and can tell me how to set it up. I think I understand how to add files and export, but I set it as WM6 and it didn't work right. Help!

Excellent. This would make things much cleaner. I'm downloading and installing WinCE Cab Manager right now.
Thanks again.
Update:
Works great! Grouped the files into categories and made a cab for each. Still using XML for registry provisioning, though, since the free version of WinCE Cab Manager seems to lock out the ability to import .reg files into the cab.
so you guys are paying for WinCE Cab manager? Are there any free cab managers??
Yes. Free would be good. $99 would make me cry.
I am looking to create some cabs (now that I have WinCE figured out) and wondered if others had quick ways of getting all of the reg keys exported for specific applications so I can add those into my cab.
If I can get buttons, today screen prefs, apps, and a few other things done in one compiled "Setup CAB" I will have my phone auto-customized I had it before flashing. I am so close to having only cabs in my UC if I can get this, and do away with the copy commands.

This is actually something I've been wondering about and kinda 'working on'.
I'm trying to find out how certain applications store registration info (registry, files, etc.)
Just a few in question that I'm trying to auto-register on flash:

It's simple. If you bought WinCE you will then be able to use the option to export and import REG Keys.
So all you would need to do is open a CAB from any program -- Export the REG -- and close it out.
Then open the CAB project you made and import the REG key and your good.
But you must first buy WinCE. The evaluation copy doesn't let you do this. Well it didn't let me.
For cabs that are just changing reg keys for you and not actually installing anything...it's easier to just create an xml file. Name the xml file _setup.xml and use makecab from the command line like this:
Code:
makecab _setup.xml yourcab.cab

So, I need to give a little more explanation for my question.
I am pretty sure that I know how to change registry keys one by one using XML.
I am not sure if it is possible to export everything from a folder in a way that it can be combined with other registry exports and ultimately cabbed. Say I am looking to replace every key in HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Today after a new flash so that certain things are enabled and disabled.
My hope is that I will be able to export the entire "today" in such a way that I can add those to a wince cab. It would be nice to be able to export several of these "folders" at one time and drag them over.
Like I said, I am trying to prevent having to do this one key at a time so that in the future even if I change the setup I don't have to change the strategy for export/import.

Thanks GC, this is what I needed.
Final XML
Here is my final XML for anyone who cares to share theirs, I learned a lot by looking at GC's (credit where it is due). I put my sdconfig.txt on here too.
Feel free to let me know if there is a better way to do any of this. I will be testing tonight to see how it does after a flash. This should save me 20 minutes of tinkering if everything goes right.
Other than the background not being possible (that seems hard to believe there is no way to do this), I will only have a few things to set up when flashing if all goes well. This will be so worth the hour time it took to create.
Any way to register devices via XML (wifi, bluetooth)?
PS. Though I didn't do it here, I have cabbed the _setup.xml file for installation with UC.
All those CPY commands are still unnecessary. You could make one cab to do all of that very easily.
Also, why do you have LOCK/HIDE commands around the reg cab?

Got those two things cleared up, cabbed the files to copy which works great.
Can't seem to figure two things out:
1. xml didn't install registry keys. Did I miss some setting in WinCE (I just set it as universal, added to files, and set the location to %InstallDir%). I had all of the files I was going to copy in UC in this same created cab as _setup.xml; the copied files went across fine, but no registry keys were changed. This leads me to believe that xml didn't load correctly or at all.
2. Copying folders. I cant seem to copy folders directly into WinCE so I would think that the folder must be created then the files must be copied across. How do you create these folders (I want to copy across AstroGPSLauncher and HTC Home icons to root). I tried using the copy command in UC as well but I think the syntax was wrong by using backslash after folder name in CPY1 and no slash after new folder in CPY2.
Thanks, I am so close to getting this.

1. You don't use WinCE to create cabs from provxml. You use makecab as I previously stated.
2. Get rid of the CPY commands, don't use them at all. If you want to install youricon.png to root, you just add youricon.png as a file in the cab and set the location to root. Default install directory doesn't matter, you can specify install location for each file separately.

So, makecab worked to create the cab but it states that the installation of the cab was unsuccessful. Here is the zip of the setup file and the cab I created (I kept yourcab.cab naming for fun).
P.S. I got rid of all copy commands, but still can't figure out how to create a new folder on the device using xml or wince. Please explain how I can cab a folder with all its contents, or create a new folder in xml, then UC a cab to install the contents.
That version of WinCE doesn't allow for import of complete folders. Later versions do.
You can also try QuickCab. Don't remember the user's name, but it is being developed by an XDA member. I believe it allows for copying complete folders, and has a simple GUI.
Edit: If you are just looking to do it for AstroGPS it should be fairly easy. Isn't it just one or two files in /AstroGPS... and a shortcut in /windows/start menu/programs? If so, just drag the file (or two) into WinCE, and it will ask you where you want it to be installed. Then just choose /AstroGPSLauncher (you have to create a new folder, but the option is right there).

Right, but I need to have that in a folder called AstroGPSLauncher on the root. I also am looking to install the HTC Home folder (overwrite the other one). I will get a newer copy of WinCE.

Are you talking about your Today screen background? You are basically looking to have a certain theme selected? If so, then that is no problem. TSK's are basically just cabs themselves. The Theme selection app in WM just reads the TSK, imports the registry color info, and copies tdywater.gif/.jpg and stwater.gif/.jpg to /windows. At startup, WM reads those image files and assigns them as your Today and Start Menu wallpapers. Just use WinCE to export the contents of the TSK. Then use whatever method you like to update your registry and copy those files to /windows.

serfboreds7777 and I am online now.
I have this mostly figured out for my needs, a few tweaks and some new ideas since getting things flashed with UC / XML / Cabbed files. If anyone wants to get some help setting up their xml and UC I will do my best to help you through the process.
Props to GC, the man knows his stuff.
I will say i haven't searched for this one yet but i probably will a little later if i don't get any quick responses.
Now to my question. I'm trying to create a cab file that i can use to install some registry changes from the performance tweak thread. The file is specifically based on the memory tweak cab file that is available there but because i use the energy standard 6.5.x series roms there are a couple of tweaks that cause the phone to stop booting correctly. So i have extracted all the original files and modified the xml file appropriately. I've then recompressed them into a new cab file but if i try to install it i get an "not installed successfully error" so obviously i'm doing something wrong but i have no idea what. Anyone got any ideas?
What software did you use to make the cab file?
I actually first tried to create it with winace and that was the problem. Winace just creates the cab as a storage file and not as an installable cab file. I've since searched coz i didn't get a quick reponse and found quickcab. Did the trick nicely. I've tested it on my phone and i've now posted the finished file in the energy rom thread. You will find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8078336&postcount=24318
At beginning I create .caps I used QuickCap (in the attachment). In the .zip for you is the Programm and guide only in german but with pictures. I think you can understand it, its very simple. Now i used the WinCE CapMgr, but you must pay for it, so I can't share.

Quickcab did it for me and i will continue to use until it my needs exceed it but i have to say i figured out to use it in about 10 seconds (literally). Kudos to the developers for making a very intuitive and easy to use program. Not many out there that are that specialised and that easy to use.
