Atom Life Chinese to English ROM: how to do? - iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading

Hello,
I just bought this Atom Life that comes with a Traditional Chinese ROM and I would like to change it to an English version.
I thought I could simply download one of the English ROMs available here (starting with the original Eng Rom), but it says it is not suitable for my device (country ID error).
How should I proceed???
Thanks a lot!

Edit pass.32
when you failed to check the country code,do not exit,to the directory c:\windows\temp, open the file pass.32 with UltraEdit, change "WWE" to "CHT".

Thanks for your reply yfdid.
Not sure how to proceed though when you say: when you failed to check the country code,do not exit,to the directory c:\windows\temp, open the file pass.32 with UltraEdit, change "WWE" to "CHT" and try again.
I launched this file: ORIGINAL-FACTORY DEFAULT Xda-Atom-ENG-20060426-MOT0822.exe
And it starts the process with checking the pda first and this is where it says about country error. No pass.32 in temp files at that moment.
Sorry, I may be missing a few bits here....

Any idea? It would really help as I can't use this PDa right now.

go to MWG or seeO2 website and download the latest ATOM LIFE rom first, then proceed as per yfdid suggestions. You should then have the correct rom and be able to update your device.

Exteneded rom?

is there any way of getting the cab files from the exteneded rom without upgrading it?
running imate 172---------want the orange uk exteneded rom files.
tried upgrading or down grading but getting error country code
You mean to update the ExtROM without flashing?
use the ExtROMTools (as found on this forum)
It allows to unhide & unlock the ExtROM. When undidden & unlocked you simply change its contents. After locking it you simply hard-reset to see the miracle take place . . .
hi
ive dun that'but can not up or down grade my xda2.
And i want the new orange exteneded rom file without upgrading is there anyway of getting them out of the updates files(nbf files)without flashing it?
Just want to upgrade my exteneded rom---but i need the uk orange rom files
With er2003edit (to be found on this forum) you can open the ms_.nbf (the upgrade file that contains the extende ROM).
(remember: do choose the type of romfile. The password of the file is 0x20040305 (enter when asked))
Then you just extract the contents from there to any folder on your pc. from tere on you can manage yourself (using extROMTools)
hi again tried that just get a error message
Looks like you did NOT chose the rom type in the last combo-box of the file-open dialog.
The ER2003Edit autodetect feature DOES NOT WORK.
hi again
just tried it again and it does not give me the option ?
please help
when you select the file you want to open, in the file type selector you have "WIN2003 autodetect ROM (*.nbf)" enabled by default, but you can select in the list the OS, Radio or Extended ROM file type.
Select the one you are using and do not let autodetect, as edsub says it does not work well.
Also, use the correct password, probably 0x20040305 for the ms_NBF file
If you choose File / open ROM Image
You get the attached window.
In the indicated combo-box (see red elipse) make sure to choose "WM2003 Extended ROM".
Then select the correct ms_.nbf
If asked enter the password / key.
thank you
got there in the end

Opening ROM

Which software that open the password for the following ROM's ?
ms_.nbf
nk.nbf
Radio_.nbf
:arrow: Please, if someone has that software I need it.
Regards,
What device are you using?
what do you need?
the software which opens these files ? => ER2003EDIT
edited : wiki is now working again
it should be found here : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/ER2003Edit but due to a problem with wikiphp you'll have to use this link until it is solved http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index?ER2003Edit
the passwords ? => it depends where you got them from. lately these passwords are used : 0x20040304, 0x20040305 and 0x20040306 for the NK.nbf, ms_.nbf and Radio_.nbf files respectively
Thanks for all that reply to me,
My device is i-mate
I have this software ER2003edit
I extract this Ext. ROM by WINRAR software
RUU172810WWE_CDL_SKU2.exe
and i get this file ms_.nbf, I tried to open it with ER2003edit but failed to open.
it needs the password. I checked that password you gave me but actualy not for EXt. ROM.
I need the software that is giving me the password for MS_NBF ..etc ?
Best regards,

That's true we're not able to open this extended rom with the listed passwords on this forum can some1 check it out !?!?!?
Plus I need to upgrade to the WM2003 SE can't do it without knowing this password bcz I want to add files to it!!! plz help it's urgent.
I used the Extended rom unlocker and copied the files, what could it be the password for this extended rom to open it from er2003edit?
The passwords supplied DO work.
Now if anyone would SEARCH before ASK you would know that you have to select the TYPE of the ROM-file you want to open. The Auto-detect feature of ER2003Edit does not work.

Changing Flash images at reset/start-up

Hi all,
I would like to change my pictures at start up on my XDAII, it has the latest Rom and Extended rom, which loaded without any hitch at all.
I would like to put my wee logo as the second flash well in the middle, is it possible and if so, is there an idiot guide from a to b to do it.
I have read the threads in other places but I need more help than just to download a file, anyone take the challenge of assisting the techno challenged members :roll:
cheers
TJ
In the 'genuine englisg SE'thread I posted two neutral splash screens for SE.
All you need now is
1. download that zip file & unzip.
2. get the upgrade files you used
3. donwload the ER2003Edit tool
4. get the ExtROM password to open the ms_.nbf (hint: its in dcs's thread on the SE rom
Steps:
1. Open the ms_.nbf from the upgrade package using ER2003Edit by (in the file-open dialog) choosing 'Extended ROM' as the file-type and 'ms_.nbf' as the file
2. Load the splash-screens (splash1.bmp & splash2.bmp) you want
3. SAVE
4. EXIT (discard any error message).
Run the upgrade again.
Note: Instead up downloading the Splash screens, you can also save them from any other ms_.nbf you may have (featuring ie. an O2, Qtek, imate or T-Mobile logo).
hi, i followed the steps... but when i try to open the extended rom with correct password, it prompted me 'Error Accessing Image file'.. can you tell me what happen?
You should choose the "WM2003 Extended Rom (ms_.nbf)" in the file type.
1. Click File
2. Click Open
3. choose the "WM2003 Extended Rom (ms_.nbf)"
4. Then enter the password for ExtROM
4.1. Password: 0x20040305
Help it works...

Nanoscopic Kitchen rom

Uppdate: it's not as simple as it's seames
here is some notes from xvx45
Code:
Quick help for file editing :
iniflashfiles.dat
It will create the different directories and copy shorcuts to menu.
You can open it with notepad.
When finish to edit it, save as unicode file.
Open an hexadecimal editor like WinHex and remove first offset (FF FE) and save your file.
hv files
In the first time you'll need to convert in editable ressources with rgucomp.exe.
It will transform hv files in rgu files. rgu files are editable in notepad.
The first step to do is to add at the first line "REGEDIT4" (without " ")
Save everytime in UNICODE format.
And be sure there is a blank line at the end of the file.
Once the file is edited use rgucomp.exe -b to re-convert it to hv files.
So what is...
- Default.hv
Default.hv contain registrery information how are make after hard reset :
it contain :
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT ressources and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
There are many thing to translate into !!
- user.hv
Same as default.hv but contain HKEY_CURRENT_USER .
Many things to translate too !
I have tried the second metod with only replacing mui files
and got the os to boot but had lost of problems and because I'm working on other projects I did not have time to figur it out therefor I released this kitchen for everyone to translate.
You'll need to do it the way xvx45 discripes abow
this is uploaded for translation I do not have time to translate it sorry
translation turtorial
on M$ side download the Professional version
Standard is for smartphones and professional is for PDA (Prophet)
Follow the steps in that turtorial for getting the mui files
the bin to use is the one PPC_XXX.bin where XXX is short for your language (PPC_GER.bin) is German and (PPC_DAN.bin) is Danish
Rapid share link to kitchen
download and extract
do not delete anything in SYS folder that you don't know what it does
OEM folder you can add things and delete things you don't want... but would be best to keep everything
ROM folder most be untouched same with tools folder they are there for building the OS
start BuildOS and choses what apps you want and press the green play button and wait for it to finish.. it will make a folder called temp
Overwrite the mui files in the temp\dump folder with those you have extracted from the emulator bin
now you'll need to change some names in the initflashfiles.dat (open with notepad)
when finished go to next step
now press CreatROM and wait for it to finish if there is any error then you have included to many apps in the BuildOS then you most go back to BuildOS step and remove some app
if no error then go to the temp folder and flash the OS.nb file to your phone
You can also use this guide as it's much similare
http://gullum.4shared.com will be updated with mui files for the differant languages
German, Danish, French, Italian, Swedish, Portuguese, Dutch, Spanish, Greek, Russian, Chinese Simplified, Norwegian mui files uploaded
Czech, Japanese, Korean will be next
I you have problems with alingment after every Soft reset
make a cab that adds a welcome.lnk to startup folder but link it to some other exe this should overwrite the alignment link and add that cab to extrom
Can't believe it....
Am i realy the first one downloaded the kitchen?
Good job gullum. Realy good.
Greetings from Germany,
skylow
Yes I am ready.. to cook..
Thank you for your work.
I'm now on my last stage to build the first WM6 rom to Prophet in Portuguese (I think)...

Spanish ROM traslation

Hello everyone!
I'm trying to translate a ROM to Spanish. Replacing all language files (in the SYS and OEM folder) for the Spanish language (0C0A). But when I install, I get an error "poutlook.exe" and the phone and TFLO3D does not start .
How can I fix it?
Thank you
hello all
Please, Someone can help me?
Thank you
generally if you get a poutlook error that means you are missing custsat.dll..
Thank you
for an answer so quickly. I look at it now.
I look it, and i found custsat.dll in SYS folder.
this may be the cause of the phone not work or start TFLO3D?
At the official Spanish ROM is inside the folder SQL. In SYS I'm working with that folder does not exist, if the copy in the SYS it will work?
seems that something is missing in SYS folder - do you have SQL and SQM (or "fake SQM") inside ?
Another way - use SYSVersion app and post here "report.txt"
this is the report .txt
When I flash the ROM, I have two error messages "welcome.exe" and "poutlook.exe".
I have also tried to put the folder SYS SQM's original, but still gives me the same mistake.

check if in 00_SYS_no2chem_dummycustsat dir you have custsat.dll - if not just place attached file into this dir
Thanks qsqa
Yes, in 00_SYS_no2chem_dummycustsat dir I have custsat.dll but it makes me the same error!!!
