Sorry guys i'm new to this, i have an O2 xda11s what will installing the extended rom do and how do i do it.
Thanks in advance
OK, I am either old, stupid...or both??
OK, folks, I am scared of a lot of this, I guess because I don't understand it yet...I dl'ed hte Siemens file, unzipped it, now what....??
I see a file called AUTORUN, should I double click that file, and pray like anything??
I guess the simple word here is "HELP!!!!" :shock:
Thanks in advance for everybody's assistance!!

The Extended ROM is just a collection of applications and patches that the provider included with the phone... for instance, the O2 Ext. ROM includes a PDF/Power point viewer .cab in theirs that I-Mate doesn't include with the PDA2k Ext. ROM. The naming convention of these .cabs makes it semi-difficult to find out what each .cab does without testing it. To install a .cab, simply copy it over to your phone, browse to its location and tap on it. I would recommend doing a backup, as you can't really uninstall a lot of these .cabs.
Does anyone know of any updates posted anywhere for the Orange version of the Blueangel - the SPV M2000? Either on the Orange website or elsewhere?
Thanks!
XDA For Dummies?
Here is the problem I have...there is a LOT of info here, for which I am VERY grateful; but there seems to be an assumption that everyone here knows all this stuff already. And I will be the first to admit, I DON'T!!!
I have the updated extended rom files, and I am being told to put them on the handheld, and run the cab files. Well, the updated rom files contain more than cab files! Where do I put htem, and which ones where?
Is there a "XDA FOR DUMMIES" guide somewhere? I would really like to update my unit, but I don't understand WHERE the files need to go...
Here is the file list from the SX66 Update:
AddContacts.exe
AutoRun.exe
BA_Album_WWE.CAB
Button.CAB
CallerID.CAB
Cin_inbox_ap.CAB
Cingularsplash.cab
Cingularcustomize.cab
Config.txt
Enable_GPRS.CAB
getmail.CAB
JAVA_WWE.CAB
MEdiaNet.CAB
MIDI561.CAB
MMS_WWE.CAB
RestartRadio.exe
StartServices.CAB
TPDisable.exe
TPEnable.exe
version.CAB
WLANPatch.CAB
Exactly where do I put them, how do I put them there, and how do I do the update?
Please forgive me for being a bit obtuse, but I was not born knowing all this stuff , and I cannot find the info anywhere! IS THERE A STEP BY STEP GUIDE FOR DOING THIS KIND OF THING?
Hell, I would make a $25 USD donatin to the forum if we could get some kind of "dummies guide"...
Many thanks for your time, and I hope, some assistance!
Tom
I forgot...
Oops, I forgot...HOW do I back up this "extended rom" so if there is a problem, I can return to the previous state? Can that be done...how?
Enquiring minds really want to know!!
Tom
No clue............
I don't get how to install these either.
The custom 9th button assignment one is cool! (for the "E" button the bottom of the keyboard)
Most of these CAB files complain that it's not in ROM in \Windows etc (yes/no/cancel)
How do we allow the CAB files to write to protected ROM?
I've searched this forum and cant find a description on these extended roms either. It's not fun to install stuff in trial and error mode. (anyone care to give a quick breakdown or add a text file to the zip file?)
For a better understanding of extenedrom read:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13072
NOTE this is about a XDAII and **YOU** are in the Blueangel forum !!!!!
Siemens has a WLAN Patch in its uploaded extened rom,
Anybody know what it is ??
(yes I know its a Wlan Patch have other operators used it)
If you are talking to ME...
I have a SX66, which IS a Blue Angel!
Take care!
i-mate PDA2K WWE is blueangel isnt it? I still dont quite understand how to load the rom upgrades that complain about read only rom over-write errors.
Extended ROMs for Dummies (The books,so no insults intended)
Aloha
Maybe I am feeling sorry for all of the new people who have been lucky enough to stumble onto this site. This site started as a developer site as we took apart the early HTC products to see what made them tick. Here is a quick overview of the extended rom.
Your phone is made up of three rom files. (radio, OS, and extended) The OS and radio ROMs make up the guts of the phone, but the extended ROM is where your provider or reseller (Cingular, O2,T-mobile, Imate) places custom software that differentiates themselves.
This extended rom contains a number of CAB files that usually auto install after a hard reset. You can see them by searching for the Extended_rom unlock tool on this site. Once you unlock this area of your device, you will see a new Extended_storage area. Place the files you like from the downloaded roms. There are great features to pick and choose from such as modified phone applications, ring tones, PDF and PPS viewers ect.
You can click on any of the cabs or modify the config.txt to install the programs. Since many of the programs are similar and probably already installed, you may get an error about the file being locked in ROM.
I hope this helps.

ROMs with WWE are English (World Wide English).
And DO use the search function!
Hi buddy.
Well,pretty much what you are going to find around here is WWE,search a little bit more and you´ll find your answers,the best rom is the one that works the best for you......depending on your needs,country,cell-company etc....etc....etc...So this is hard to explain.
I guess a 75% of the roms are WWE,so start taking a look and trying them out.
This is the first and best place to check it out:
www.trinityguides.info
All that info is brought by racerx_
Please use SEARCH funcion!
Here you can find all of the eng (and other) roms:

Guys,
Thanks very much for taking your time and explaining this to me.
I'm not very familiar with acronyms and terminology that you use here (like - ROM - Extended ROM - Dumped or Modified ROM - Cooked ROM - Original Shipped ROM - WWE - Dump the ROM - CID - Radio - Bootloader ect) and that's why is hard for me to know what I'm looking for.
Anyways,
Now I know that I should look for WWE WM6 and flush my phone.
My only concern is to learn a little bit about ROMs
I just moved to Canada and apart from using SPV M700 as my phone I'm intending to use it as GPS Navigator aswell.
I hope I will not kill my phone ;-)
Thanks though for taking your time and answering my question
Kind regards,
A$h

Help finding WM6 upgrade for hx4700

Hi All,
I have been reading with interest all the posts about upgrading my hx4700 to WM6. I am still using 2003 and would like to try WM6. From what I have read there are some extreemly clever people on here and I would ask for advise. I found a very good post with full instructions (just what I need) using BootLoader.exe to load kozhura version of WM6 but every link I follow ends in a dead end! I cannot find the ROM file to download anywhere. I believe I need WM6_4700_0_7_0_RELEASE4.rar can anyone help point me in the right direction. Any help or advice would be aprehiated.
Thanks
Phil

Help with this device

Hi!
i decide to post my question here because this thread is visited by too many "rom cookers"....
I have a Benq E72, but nobody knows how to help me =(
I'm cooking a spanish 6.5 rom using a kitchen that i found on a polish forum but it have an old XIP, so i found a new xip for smartphone i ported it to my Benq E72....
But my question is: The kitchen folder have a "ROM" subfolder and inside have the files imgfs.bin (1kb), the old xip.bin (2,89mb) and the file os.nb (3mb), so i replace the xip.bin with the new xip.bin i left the imgfs.bin but i don't know what to do with the file os.nb...(i'm not sure but i must integrate the new xip.bin into the os.nb?) i post my question here because both (excalibur and benq ) are smartphone and maybe the "cooking way" are the same and because this forum have high activity, more than the "smartphone general"....
Hope someone could help me...!
Sorry for my english
