i wrote a new tool that you can use to read the rom image, it can be found at:
http://nah6.com/~itsme/bkondisk.zip
Code:
usage:
first copy bkondisk.exe to \windows on your device, then:
prun bkondisk [targetdir]
will save all partitions on all volumes in files on [targetdir]
prun bkondisk -v0 -p1 [targetdir]
will save a specific partition on [targetdir]
prun bkondisk -v0 -b0 -n1 \firstblock.img
will save the specified blocks to \firstblock.img
prun bkondisk -i
will only list disk info in the logfile "\bkondisk.log"
-v0 or -v1 to specify the volume
-p0, -p1, etc to specify a partition
-b0 etc to specify a starting block ( ignoring partioning )
-n32 specifies to read 32 blocks starting at the above block.
note: you DON'T need to put quotes around directories with spaces in it.
when no path is specified, files will be created in the root.
Thanks! I've got a couple of questions... it extracted the following files:
bk_00_0000.img
bk_02_0005.img
bk_03_0025.img
bk_06_0001.img
bk_08_0175.img
What do these files refer to (which one is the ROM, etc). Also, is there a way to write these backups back to the phone? It would be a great way to try out test roms and get back to my original T-Mobile ROM if necessary.
bk_00_0000.img - IPL : ONBL1 + ONBL2
bk_02_0005.img - GSM + splash + gsmdata + simlock + serialnrs
bk_03_0025.img - OS
bk_06_0001.img - SPL
bk_08_0175.img - userfilesystem
Is there a way to write them back to the phone? or is that not possible...
is it possible to get a .nbh files out of these files?
My idea would be to "glue" the 4 files together (bk_00 to bk_06) in one file, rename the file to RUU_signed.nbh and exchange the RUU_signed.nbh created by the RUU.exe in \Profiles\[user]\Local Settings\Temp\pftxx.tmp with this one and then run on the RUU.exe with the modified .nbh
for example in DOS:
copy /b bk_00_0000.img+bk_02_0005.img+bk_03_0025.img+bk_06_0001.img RUU_signed.nbh
Is it that simple?
EDIT:
Ok this easy way doesn't work.
RUU says "Error 238 - File read"
Maybe some kind of checksum is missing....
Three questions for itsme
1. Could these files be used to create a nbf file to flash from the sd card as a backup?
2. Would it be possible to modify sim/cid lock?
3. Are these files in raw (dump) format that could be edited in hex editor?
P.S. Thanks to your other posts (works) that helped me figure out the whole sd card flashing thing for the Dash.
Maybe this helps a little bit to get ideas.
I have been searching here for nights - this is what I found so far:
1. I think it's similar to the Hermes - nobody found a way till now - the first step is to modify a signed .nbh, deleting works but not adding a file:
Hermes - how to dump ROM
Hermes - new custom ROMs
Hermes - ROM cooking and Bootloader MFG 1.01
aChef ROM Utils
2. This is the way Imei-Check is CID-unlocking - investigated by pof:
Reverse Engineering the Herems imei-check unlocker
Maybe there is another way like Zone-MR is doing it for the Star100/Qtek 8500
Star100 Unlock procedure but here you have still to decryt/encrypt the block in my understanding and therefore you have to find out the key
3. I didn't find anything about this so far, but I think the information is anywhere at XDA-Developers

I got different files ...
After running the tool I got :
bk_0__0000.img (IPL? Is it same as bk_00_0000.img?)
bk_02_0005.img (GSM + splash + gsmdata + simlock + serialnrs)
bk_03_0025.img (OS)
bk_06_0001.img (SPL)
bk_08_0185.img (?????)
I did not get bk_08_0175.img, though.
Hints?
On the other hand, is it possible to extract files out of IMG files?
Thanks.

I have made s script which installs all files in my Install-Directory of my SD-Card. The script is based on nscriptm and invoked automatically after HardReset.
It installs silently all CAB-Files, Reg-Settings in REG-Files, a TSK-File.
It copys all wanted files automatically from the SD-Card to the PocketPC (e.g. for the Windows-Folder, etc).
It deletes wanted files from the Pocketpc.
It copies Shortcuts.
So a complete new Install lasts only a few minutes. Great for testing.
Now I am searching an unzip/unrar/uncompress/... - Tool which can be invoked from the command-line with additional parameters to uncompress all Install-Files on the SD-Card.
Anyone knows ?
Sounds like an excellent idea. Can you share your script? Sorry I do not know of a zip utility. All installs on cab files are already compressed though.
Doed Pocket WinRar will do the job?
I also would love to try it...
Very good idea
This sounds like a great idea.
No, Winrar is only with GUI. No Commandline. Have searched for days.
CAB-Files are not Compressed I think. Only the EXE-Files containig the CAB-Files for Install on PC are compressed.
Please HELP !
I have made an extended ROM which runs my script now automatically.
If you want it send me PM.
I have also been searching the net for a compresion tool that runs from the command line, but with no luck.

Hi axbl,
Could you please also post me a copy of your ROM / Script ?
Many Thanks,

Has anyone heard from axbl? While waiting in vain, I decided to give this a shot and see how far I go along scripting my installs. I find the nscriptm tool to be very capable but still I am stuck in a few areas which axbl seems to have excelled based on the initial post.
How can one trigger a cab file install and make it a silent install? I am using the Shellwait("") command to trigger the cab file installs one after the other but those that require input are causing an issue.
Next I have tried automating the response to those user input prompts (i.e YES / NO etc) but I am having trouble catching the window handle of the prompts and then using the Sendkey command.
Thanks in advance for all the help. Regards
I use the software call Autoconfig.exe which is included in O2 Asia ROM.
The Autoconfig.exe will read Autoconfig.txt file and execute according to the command line in the file.
The command line is exactly the same as Config.txt
[.......] <---- Section to be selected
CPY1: <---- copy from
CPY2: <---- copy to
EXEC: <---- Execute Program
CAB: <---- Install .cab file
RST: Reset <---- Soft Reset
I can do what I need about 80%. I say 80% is because after this process ended. I still need to put in name/pasword to all of those s/w or else it will still be trial version.
no more?
so any update in this topic??
....pls

hi, if you create an xml file or a cab (need winCE cab manager) you can add all the registry details you need to register your program...but you have to search your registry to find those details.
Yes, I can do it while ago.
The post I did was a year ago. At that time, I didn't know how to do it.
Thanks anyway.

You don't have to ask that guy. He'd never come back.
It's not that difficult to do. You need to know how to build CAB file by using WinCE CAB Manager. Then, put those REG, TSK, EXE, File, etc. into your built CAB file. By using (Autorun and Config.txt) or (Autoconfig.exe and Autoconfig.txt) or (Autorun and ExtROM via \2577 folder), You can install any CAB files into the system after Hard Reset.
ok
could you pls post the files to do it?
(Autorun and Config.txt) or (Autoconfig.exe and Autoconfig.txt)
if possible?
I have unlocked the Extended ROM on an XDA2 device (Himalaya for those with alternative distributers) with bootloader 1.06.
(This was done using the information at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=8422 )
I am then able to change the ROM to suit my needs so that it loads various bits of software.
(Changing the cab files and config.txt file to my needs)
I can then copy this Extended ROM onto an SDCard.
(I followed the steps here:
http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/PDAforum_posts.asp?TID=62&PN=1&TPN=2 )
Using this SDCard it is possible to Flash install the device I copied the ROM from, but not another device with the same bootloader. It comes up with the error:
"SD Download
==========
Sections=1
Not allow
update!"
Any ideas as to what I am missing to make this flash install onto other devices?
Many thanks,
GBird.
Just a quick nudge since there has been a lot of activity since I posted
Hi all,
let me start telling that reading through this frum gives me the feeling that this is a very nice place for information around htc-devices and I thank both creators and users of this site for such a good information-base.
Reading here convinces me that I am able to fulfill my wish to change the language of my VPA-IV (HTC Universal).
I am a Dutch person working in Russia. As I was living in Germany I optained the device there, hence the German language.
For me personally all computer stuff should be English, so I'd also like this device to be so. The fact that the keyboard is German does not disturb me too much.
As a Vodafone user, who has other provider cards as well, I immediately bought the unlock code, so the device is working with other GSM cards as well.
When I asked Vodafone (before I bought the device) if I could switch to English I was told that I should buy myself another Windows Software and they were not able to provide me with it. They were not able to provide any help, nor software for this purpose though.
When reading around the site here (as well as the ftp) I understood that Windows is not provided now. So my first question would be :
-Am I really set to go if I have downloaded the following files :
Jasjar_WWW_11353_137_10301.zip
MaUpgradeUt_noID.zip
Universal_Radinly_UPgrade_1.04.02.zip
Or do I need something more ?
Further I read about extracting the .exe file (f.e. Jasjar_WWW_11353_137_10301.exe) and put some files from there at certain places. I have WinRar but this program does not recognize the .exe file. Can I really extract files from this .exe ? How do I do this.
A lot of talking is here about a bootloader. If the device is in this stage, can I still access it ? (f.e. like seeing a harddrive in my PC's Windows Explorer or something the like)
As I will be stressed like hell (who does not, when he does this first time) when I see the bootloader screen, is there something I SHOULD or should NOT do to make sure all will be OK ?
Last but certainly not least I feel very eager to backup before I do this. Is there a posibility to backup my ROM in some way, save the files on some place for eventual return to the ROM and ExtRom I have now ?
I tried the Program TotalCommander. If I enter the Extended_Rom in the "directory" field of this program I see all files included in the Extended_Rom, same if I enter simply "Rom". Is a backup simply copying these files to my PC or is there more to be done ?
thanks for answering in advance,
Ruud
Hi,
I'm searching a german ROM...
if you have a little of your time to spend on it, i would be very thankful.
but first:
- about extracting the .exe files: Run WinRAR -> Menue: Open file... -> change 'All archives' to 'All files'
- about ROMs: Jasjar_WWW_11353_137_10301.zip is the only rom I would update, not the Radio.
- about bootloader: In this state you can't access your device (only updating the ROM)
- about backup: It is not easy. (How to d2s (dump) the ROM ) but I think Vodafone will shortly relase a update. So it will be possible to restor the device.
How to help me out:
- you will need a Storage Card.
- Download TestWM5.rar
1. Extract TestWM5.exe from TestWM5.rar and place it to you device.
2. At the device, use File Explorer to execute the TestWM5.exe
3. Click "button1" to start the dump process, the file will then be save to \Storage Card\Dump\
4. Copy the Dump folder out and then RAR or Zip it
This will include all files in your windows dictionary -> this is what i need
Where to place exactly ?
Hi bepe,
do not know if You are still available (or again). First your issue.
I logon to FTP from XDA-developers as to upload.
In the upload directory there is only a HTC-Wizard directory, not a wizard. Is this directory the one to place your file on ?
Is there a rule how to name the file ?
I will be dumping in a minute, can upload as soon as I have your answer.
Ruud
Hi bepe,
further to your issue.
1) I do understand that no private information is copied ? or should I do a hard reset before I dump for You ?
2) Whilst running your testwm5.exe from the root-directory of the storage-card I am being asked to agree your program access. This is normal, I allow. But why are there additional programs being opened I never heard about ? I denied them access and let the program run further !
After a lot of files running through the screen (very fast) it looks like the program stopped or finished. Now which file has been created for You ?
Explorer on the Universal does not show it, through my PC I looked as well, but do not see any big file, please explain.
Ruud
Hi Bepe,
one more reply to You :
Even if I allow the file mentioned to run (during the time your program is running), I am being asked again and again if I allow it again. The name is GAC_System.Data_v1_0_5000_0_cneutral_1.dll
Even if allow access all of the occasions I being asked, no file is being created on my storage-card, nothing to dump to You. Not even the dump directory is made.
What do I do wrong here ?
To my issue :
First I noticed that the radio update is available here only as 1.04.02
My system tells me I have 1.04.10 delivered from origin. If I do a ROM-upgrade, do I loose my "radio", or will it not be touched ?
Connected to this, can I dump my "radio"-files seperately ?
WinRAR. Issue solved !
Backup : I was at the buzzdev.net link before. But I actually do not even understand where I can get or see the task32 language he dumped on his screen. And I understand that I will not be able to restore it without help anyway. So this is not really the kind of backup I want.
The information about Vodafone, where does it come from ? when is something expected ?
Ruud
For security sake only.
I am getting nearer to make that final step ;-)
My Winrar was too old, I could unzip the .zip file to a .exex, but I could not unzip the .exe file further. Just downloaded the latest Winrar, now I can see all files included in the provided .exe file.
1) I understood that I should delete the original upgrade-file called ROMUpgradeUt.exe.
2) When I start the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe in a seperate directory with the rest of the files from the .exe I get to see a different HTC device. When I continue, it will not recognize any of the versions from my Universal. I felt unconfortable to continue.
Can it be done without a problem ??
2a) I renamed the ms_.nbf AND radio_.nbf and restart the Utility, it still shows a photo of the wrong device, but it now does recognize the versions of Device CD image version : 1.13.56 Device Extended image version : 1.13.163 and Device Radio image version : 1.04.10
It confirms to change to CD image version 1.13.53 and leaves the extended image version : "empty" as well as the Radio image version : "empty"
Does this mean that by taking away the ms_.nbf and radio_.nbf files I can stop the device from upgrading the extended rom and the radio ?
Why I ask ? Because if I renamed ms_.nbf back and ONLY radio_.nbf is unavailable now, it shows to change the Extended Rom too, but the Radio image is still empty.
Finally if I rename ALL back, it shows to change all, but all version numbers are older once ;-(
Main question here is, can I leave radio_.nbf away, upgrade and hope for radio to be my version 1.04.10 ?
Ruud
Hi,
I'm back.
I'll PM you Upload information...
private information are not copied.
Only if you have saved private information in your /windows/ folder!
i have never being asked to agree for program access :?
...but I started it of the root-directory of my device.
what is the name of your 'Storage Card' folder?
I not realy have the info from Vodafone, but for all devices before there have been more than one update. But I can't tell when the first update is expected.
If you are trying to make a backup: you will need a terminal program
About dumping
So I have a complete "new" device now.
Did a hard-reset, after which I did not give any new information to the device.
I placed the .exe file You gave me in the \windows\startmenue before, after which it is asking tonloads of access requests.
Now I replaced it in the root-directorym Yes, no additional questions asked anymore, perfect, well NO. As there is no directory made on the storage card. I tried it once with the async active and once with the device seperate. No result.
Any ideas ?
what is the name of your 'Storage Card' folder in your root?
As the device is German, it is called "Speicherkarte"
and renaming is not possible (allowed)
OK this is the problem, I'm trying to get the Source code to change that.
found something: this tool will change the folder name from different languages to "Storage card" which is often needed for different tools
Understood.
About my question, as I am still nervously waiting (cannot start the upgrade before You got your data, can I ;-)
Did I understand correctly, that the file MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe is made for different devices from HTC and therefore I do not get a photo of the universal when I start the software ?
If I start the JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301.exe I DO get to see the Universal, but of course get the country error.
Did I also correctly understood I can take away the radio_.nbf from the directory and the update will handle both ROM and ExtROM but leave the Radio untouched ?
Will I be entering this "bootloader" status at all, as I do not need any further updates then ? Are there any resets after the upgrade which I SHOULD or SHOULD NOT make to get the device working again ?
Ruud
Hi bebe,
storage.cab works (be it only after a soft-reset)
The program testwm5.exe is much slower now, so the result is taking minutes now (if not tens of).
Looks like the perfect speed of the program while the storage card (at least for his eyes) was absent, was due to "saving into space"
Will upload asap.
Ruud
I'm loading JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301.exe its at 60%
MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe is a hacked version, of another device.
So the photo should not be important. (Please wait until i have downladed the file, I'm not realy sure jet...)
OK, I have to wait anyway, because TestWM5 is very slow now, I can see file after file and calmly read it. Before it was running before my eyes. I am afraid this is going to take ages.
We are on the same frequency that the dump I am making is from a device WITH Extended Rom installed. I was NOT soft-resetting during installation, so all Vodafone add-ons, are to be there now.
If You need the one without ExtRom as well, please tell me.
The upload works OK, I prepared a directory there, but uploading is to be done after longer waiting time.
Are You afraid the JASJAR file is not good ? I downloaded it because this one was proposed on this forum.
Ruud
Its not about the ROM its about the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe I'm not sure if ths is the exe file to update a Universal.
I dont have a Universal only a Himalaya and my up UpgradeUt starts with HimUpgradeUt... .
Was this file mentioned in the readme of the JASJAR exe?
my download is very slow... 70%
I only downloaded MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe because it was proposed here (for the Universal).
I have no Readme.txt inside the exe
EnterBL.exe
GetDeviceData.exe
ms_.nbf
nk.nbf
radio_.nbf
RUU.conf
RUU.dll
UI.dll
Well and of course the original upgrade file ROMUpgadeUt.exe, but I was suppose to delete it.
Only file which I can read is RUU.conf :
[PLATFORM]=857873
[RADIO_TYPE]=2
[SECURITY_FLAG]=1
[DECODER_KEY]=1
[RADIO_FLAG]=2
[GETADDR_TYPE]=1
[JUMPCODE_TYPE]=1
[FORMAT_TYPE]=2
[SCREEN_TYPE]=2
OK, TestWM5 is finally ready, will do compressing and uploading soon.
Ruud
The attached utility will allow to extract .NB0 OS image from ASUS P525 "galaxy.cap" complete rom update packages, and also to update CRC on modified NB0 ROM image, to pass the flasher validity check and flash the modified ROM. Also it will allow to unpack compressed kernel partition.
The application dynamically linked to Visual C runtime libraries. They used by myriads of applications, and most likely you already have them on your system installed. If you are not (on a clean PC for example) and P525ROMTool complains about lack of needed libraries,- download and install this - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=32BC1BEE-A3F9-4C13-9C99-220B62A191EE
For you technical people, the utility source is included too. You can see the basic layout, and that ASUS used Adler32 algorithm to calculate the checksum on ROMs (with slight modification that base sum was initialized to zero instead of one).
The basic procedure for cooking your own custom P525 rom is:
1) P525ROMTool -d galaxy.cap
This will extract the ROMGalaxy.NB0 OS-only image. For custom ROMs I recommend working with NB0 OS images only - no danger of corrupting bootloader & IPL this way.
2) prepare_imgfs ROMGalaxy.NB0 -nosplit
3) DelFile / AddFile
Iam not sure if you can truly fully rebuild the ROM and not to break anything (ROM tools were made for HTC platform, not for ASUS). So I recommend using DelFile/AddFile method at least for the start.
There are a lot of different ROM editing tools around, but I can not give you exact directions what is better and in which conditions - ASUS ROM cooking is less charted area then for HTCs.
I assume you know what you actually need to change on file basis for your ROM customization. If you dont know what I am talking about, this is not for you (read disclaimer at the end of the post, and think over it).
4) make_imgfs ROMGalaxy.NB0 -nosplit
5) P525ROMTool -s ROMGalaxy.NB0
it will ask about changed checksum. Enter "y" to update it. You can run P525"ROMTool -s ROMGalaxy.NB0" again to be sure that checksum was updated properly - it should'nt ask to change it second time.
6) Flash ROMGalaxy.NB0 via bootloader (copy it to SD card root, press "camera" fully, press reset).
Techincally, you can make the .cap file to flash via "autorun" loader, hovewer, I must warn you that .cap file will flash not only OS image, but also the IPL+bootloader. If something goes wrong, bootloader can be corrupted and device will be bricked.
If you flash ROMGalaxy.NB0, it will not flash over bootloader+IPL, so its a lot safer - if something goes wrong, you still must be able to flash emergency rom via bootloader.
Take note that any activity that involves the ROM updating is dangerous. Even if you understand everything, there is some risk. If you have only basic understanding of ROM mechanics, risk increases tenfold - you better consider before screwing up perfectly working and expensive device.
You have been warned.
Ingvarr, thanks a million time. I love yr WM5 Storage and I think I will love this tool also. I will start building my rom based on Sorg's build 6 since it does provide some very useful tools for us.
Ingvarr thank you for your cool tools.
But when I DIY my ROM, I can't make make_imgfs.exe work correctly. It returns some symbols I can't understand.
Even I run make_imgfs.exe just after finish running prepare_imgfs.exe, it returns the err.
Could you help me with this?
make_imgfs ROMGalaxy.NB0 -nosplit
NOT "nk.nba"
It writes the modified filesystem back in the original image, so it should remain the same. You dont want to mix the ASUS and HTC ROMs and then flash it to your device, trust me
I recommend you to read HTC ROM Tools instructions and forum threads and be sure you've got right how it works, before you screw something up
sir,
Bad news,it can't work with CHS ROM (ROMgalaxy.nb0) checksum error!~~~
Does it correctly verify the checksum on original ROM?
I will try to look over it, maybe I've missed something.
Btw, if you can, write down what does writes on screen _exactly_, down to the point of failure (including error message).

You mean, it claims that checksum is wrong even when you have not modified NB0 yet?
I may look over this NB0, can you host it somewhere? But better not at rapidshare, Iam already topped my limit

and it happens by official P525_V3320_WWE2nd too
checksum in official P525_V3320_WWE2nd is 79AB7436
ur SW changed it to EF722461----not modified NB0
u can download official P525_V3320_WWE2nd with www.asus.com or
ftp://dlsvr02.asus.com/pub/ASUS/IA/P525/P525_V3320_WWE2nd.zip
Thats odd, because I've just checked it with WWE 3.32 and at least checksum calculation defenitely works ok...
This roms are in .CAP package. Have you actually extracted .NB0 from .CAP?
I have uploaded version 1.01 - it has additional sanity checks to make sure that you try to run it on NB0 with structure it expects.
Try it on WWE 3.32 and write what the original checksum and calculated checksums will be.
sorry
our mistake
i tested ur SW with a *.nb0, which extracted with xda3nbftool.exe------*.nb0 with ipl and bootloader.
and now i find, that *.nb0 should be and must be extracted with ur P525ROMTool -d galaxy.cap,------that means *.nb0 without ipl and bootloader
everything is fine, when *.nb0 is extracted with ur P525ROMTool
i think creazy2000 just made the same mistake like me.
o
thanks a lot.
Thanks. The tool works perfectly on my P525.

Thats odd, because I've just checked it with WWE 3.32 and at least checksum calculation defenitely works ok...
This roms are in .CAP package. Have you actually extracted .NB0 from .CAP?
I have uploaded version 1.01 - it has additional sanity checks to make sure that you try to run it on NB0 with structure it expects.
Try it on WWE 3.32 and write what the original checksum and calculated checksums will be.

WWE means "world wide english".
First is 3.32, therefore, its newer.

Thanks Buddy,
can you explain WW2 and WWE3 it seems that the latter is newer but the version V3.29 is older or is ment for different country
Rom cooking tutorial for hx2000 series
We will need:
mamaich's tools:http://mamaich.uni.cc/wm_re/imgfs_tools.rar
hx2000_tool: http://rapidshare.com/files/7435199/hx2000_Tool.rar.html
PEID: http://rapidshare.com/files/10292835/PEiD.rar.html
1. Open the program hx2000_tool.exe
2. There are two buttons: unpack & pack. Push unpack and select the nbf file of your rom. From extraction we take the nk.nba in the same folder as the nbf file is. put this file in mamaich tools folder
3. Now we will use mamaich tools.
Open a command prompt window and go to mamaich tools folder. Then run:
prepare_imgfs nk.nba
viewimgfs imgfs_raw_data.bin
And now we have the Dump folder with the extracted rom's files.
4. With this commands:
addfile(filename)
delfile(filename)
we can add or remove files.
When we finish all changes that we want to do we use the command:
buildimgfs
5. After run the command:
make_imgfs.exe nk.nba
6. We execute again hx2000_tool.exe to pack the new rom.This time we select pack(we must move the nk.nba back to the folder of the nbf), we check the option Pool size and we select from the list the pool size.
7 Correct the crc
For this we use the PEID program. Run PEID and select your rom's nbf file. Push the arrow on the lower right corner and select plugins -> crc32. Appears a small window.Enter the crc of our rom(for sp33752 the crc is E7A8B309) in collumn New crc. Check the "Overwrite mode" and press Fix.
8. The rom is ready for flash to the device.
Note:
These are translated from 4pda.ru( thanks to russian developers)
and I haven't more information for you. More you can find in 4pda.ru
great
Great!!
I think this is instruction of how to delete and add files from and to a ROM.
Dump a ROM out then delete/add files then pack it back...
Great work translator and the Russ.
Dancer69 and others... can you find me the info how to flash my hx2190b ?
I keep getting mismatch SKU when I tried to flash ROM WM6 from Rom version 1.00.00H
Thank you and waiting for your answers
I don't know if you already tried this but I read in 4pda.ru(from what I understand cause I don't know russian and I use wordlingo for translation and its not good) that someone with 2190b succeed to flash with this way:
He run the ruu utility from sp33003 and when pass the check he replace the EPAKROM.nbf with the nbf from wm6(first rename it).
XIP extraction
Additional information to your cooking tutorial : How-to extract XIP for HP2xxx
RomMaster 2.3 is needed (with -b option)
http://rapidshare.com/files/84961371/XIP_Tools.rar
You need nk.nba (from step 2 of dancer_69's tutorial):
> Rommaster.exe nk.nba -w 5 -b 0x00280000 -x -o xip.bin
Create an empty directory named XIP (aka : > mkdir XIP)
> Dumprom.exe xip.bin -5 -d XIP
You wil found the XIP in XIP directory!
WM 6.5 rom cooking newbie
Ok...I am trying to remove as much unneccesary stuff off the wm6.5 rom for my iPAQ hx2410 as possible like bubble breaker,etc. I dont really know what else I can remove witout hurting the whole system so I am wondering what else I can remove that can make it lighter...also I want to replace windows media player with core player but I only have the cab file for core player and when I try to build it, there is an error...How can I add new programs without these errors??? Also, I followed all the necessary steps posted above except the last part with the peid file i was supposed to download...It says it was a virus so I found an updated Peid but i didnt see the option to finish that last step..I am very very new at cooking so anything u can advise me about doing so would be helpful..THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!!
Is there a semi-specific list of files which are safe to remove? I followed the steps and I have a dumped ROM, but now that I can play with the files, I don't know what to remove without destroying dependencies or killing the functionality.
