On a Gigabyte G-Smart.
Please forgive me, I realize that this forum is for XDA / HTC devices only, but I thought that with the wealth of knowledge on this board, somebody might have a quick solution to the proposed problem.
I am trying to create an "extended_rom" like solution on my Gigabyte, where files automatically get installed when a hard reset is done.
Any help our suggestions would be appreciated, although I realize this is not the focus of this board.
Thanks!
Wow , you have a gigabyte g-smart ?
can you please tell me wath is this rom version and can you realize a dump.bin with Grabbit software ?
Thanks a bunch for the reply...
Yeah, I have one. I have not been able to get the bin off of it, but I am using stuff that I wrote. Might have to grab something out there that is a bit more robust. The stuff I wrote works fine on HTC and HP stuff, but just seems to want to die on the Gigabyte. I am not suprised at this...
As for the ROM version, there is no Asset Viewer on the device, so the only version numbers I have gotten for the WHOLE DEVICE are as follows:
Windows Mobile Version 5.0 OS 5.1.195 (Build 1429.2.2.1) (Version of WM5, obviously)
The only other version that is readily available without poking through the entire registry is V1.08.12 assigned to the device by Gigabyte (Device Name: Pocket_PC Description: V1.08.12).
I am trying to find more information on the versions of the radio ROM as well as trying to be able to write to \IMGFS and/or \ROM...
Let me try to get the bin off of the device. Will try someone elses stuff now.
wow , 1.0812 ... very very interesting ...
Why don't you wan't to use grabbit software ??
it just make a file called dump.bin on your sdcard ....
youhave just to make a directory called 2577 on your sdcard , put grabbit.exe on it and rename to autorun.exe after that , put your sdcard on gigabyte and that's fun ....
It's not that I don't WANT to use grabbit.exe, it's that I don't HAVE grabbit.exe... and I have a rom dump program that I wrote that works on other devices.
Do you have a link to grabbit.exe? Quick search of this forum doesn't come up with anything when I search on "grabbit"...
Thanks!
EDITED TO SAY: Heh... found it... did a search on "grab_it" and found all of them. I will give it a try. Thanks!
wow cool !!!!
if you want , i can make an ftp for you or can you please upload your dump.bin in this ftp ...
i've a g-smart dump , but this is tha 1.05.20 ....
theoretically you can use my imgfs tools to edit ROM image. But you'll need a program that can update ROM, and create file in format that it understands.
yes mamaich , i've a dump.bin created with grab_it of a g-smart(1.05.20) and your tools works like a charm !!!!
Thanks so much for the suggestion!
mamaich, would you be able to post a link to the imgfs editor that you have? Or, I could just search for it on the forum. I actually think that I have it...
I have the bin file, will upload it soon.

I think that is version 1.05.13... I have version 1.08.12 (English)... I think that is why they want it.
Either way, sorry for not uploading it yet... work in a crazy environment, and haven't had the time to transfer it over to the internet machines....
Will try to get it up by tomorrow.
yes wicked ... i have 1.05.20 ... 1.08.20 is best
Hi mates,
i have an i-teq BOND aka Gigabyte g-smart. It has rom v1.10.18 and is working very bad, absolut bad.
Is there any other rom (english) than this 1.05.13 that you are talking about.
Thanks.
I ave the i-Teq Bond as well with the similar crappy update and no old ROM.
The gigabyte ROMs are all in taiwanese or something like that, so not much use. :?
Anybody has i-Teq or Gigabyte gsmart ROM in English? :?:

I have a Gigabyte G-Smart with 1.08.12 English ROM. There are some issues with it and I'm looking for later firmware or a place to look for it.
There's so many different versions quoted on this thread that I'm unsure if I have the latest English ROM or whether there is something newer.
Can anyone summarise the versions out there?
wow fasteye ...
can you please dump your rom with grab_it and upload here ?
the 1.08.12 is the last , i think ... is the ansewr machine work ?
I don't have the grabit software. If someone is willing to provide a link to it then I'll give it a go.
This firmware is not great though hence I'm keen to find something better.
Without doubt the best Pocket PC phone I've used in terms of design and size just a pity that the firmware and battery are not better. TV and FM Radio don't seem to work in the UK.
Anyone know if there is any way to get T9 on it?

if your're afraid of "killing" your phone, then spend some time reading the stickies in the hermes section, and also the wiki. all the information you need to safely upgrade your device is readily available
and wth do you mean by pda games?
