Sorry, if I could understand what you are asking, I could probably give you an answer.

Thnx.

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!!
Tom

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.

need info on extended rom

hello just need to know how do i install programs in the unlocked ex rom as when installing apps from active sync it only has 2 options 1 divice or 2 memory card ..
also if i do a cold reset will the stuff in the unlocked ex rom be deleted?.

Does anybody know how to change the Ext ROM? I searched on buzzdev and this forum and didnt find anything.
I would want to make an Ext ROM because I'm trying the different AKU 3.2 beta's and am reinstalling a lot.
Cheers in advance.

have a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=251710
but why do you put your cab files in your unlocked extrom, install one of the aku 3.2 roms without the extrom and after that install you own cabs from your extrom?
I do it kind of this way with my sd card because I want to see what the guys put new in the extrom of the new aku3.2 variants.

How to get "pure" WM6 ROM ?

Hi,
is there any way to get pure WM6 ROM, with no addons, no extroms - only WM6 OS and nothing else ?
And is it possible to extract (or get somewhere) separate .cab files for applications that come with various cooked ROMs ? (HTC touch app, Comm manager, ...)
thx a lot,
m.

When You upgrade to any WM6, the update procedure writes also the ext.rom, and later on the addons will be installed from the exrom. To avoid that, make a hardreset, and when the screen appears, that the addons would be installed within .. seconds, make a soft reset. With ExtRom_utility, You can make this rom visible, and You can backup the files located in the exrom to your PC.

I flashed a WM 6.5 rom to my MDA Compact III, but I want to go back to the original HTC WM 6.1 ROM that was on it.
I downloaded that, but I don't want all the stuff, just the OS.
Im going to flash it, but when do I exacly need to do the resets?
Or can I just delete the ExtROM, or whats in it?
=======================================================================
I flashed it and I saw wat you meaned.

You can use HTCRIE to edit RUU_signed.nbh from WM6 ROM , then you can add or reduce the applications that you deem necessary Good Luck

Wow guys, this topic is like, 4 years old! I really appreciate the fact that you use the search function, but still, if a thread is older than a YEAR and there hasn;t been a post in it, create a new thread.
But if the thread has nothing to do with ROM development, as in this case, post the question in General.
I'm closing this.

WM6 is coming :)

Fasten seat belts and prepare to catch WM6 for HTC Artemis

Here is Official(not hand made) Artemis WM6 OS dump!!!
Please do not ask me about anything!
I will not comment anything.

Well aren't you just a little treasure trove.
Have you looked at this Tupisdin?
Comments on this vs. home made ROMs, any applications installed?
Media Hub etc?

I do not know! I do not have device right now on hand.
I will upload SUPERCID flasher later.

From where did you get hold of this?

Asking questions although he said he would not answer them. Interesting....
I am curious to see the review from the first brave soul willing to try this out. It does seem peculiar that the phone image on the RUU is not the Artemis.

No, that wasn't to you, the guy who blatantly asked...where did you get this.
BTW - I flashed USPL to my phone, tried the RUU version of this update and it said the file is corrupt. I take that to mean the file is not meant for my phone. The first of the two downloads has a file called OS.nb. That must be where I need to focus my attention. I will update if there is anything new....

Am I being super dumb, all I see is one download of a rar file containing os.nb0
What's the RUU version you speak of?
(EDIT) Irrelevant post now original has been updated and post below, although I still not sure what you were looking at, at the time itschase.

Flasher for supercid devices is here.
http://uploaded.de/?id=f1zt2f

The second of the two links contained the RUU...unless the upload site gave me the wrong file....
I am about to try an experimental re-flash...I will post results.

what language is this?

Guess I am the retard, because I tried using the os.nb0 file with several different RUU's and none of them could open the file. I changed the extension to .nb and .nbh just for good measure with no luck.

Works...

After testing this rom I would advise everyone to use the version ARTE_WM6_3_5, the first release v3 looks like a cut down version of wm6.
The reason its fast is that loads of programs etc removed, no quickgps, no bluetooth explorer etc... also new radio stack is old version to?
Re flashing version 3.5 now which includes the missing apps.

This Rom OS only.Applications in this Rom not new but verry nice OS.May be i will Rebuild OS in v3 B&B in next week...!

Successful ported old good xip.(No corruption after any soft-reset at all)

First i whant to say thank's.
To Bepe , Mun_rus , ervius , dutty , tadzio.
From his tool's and help.
Regarding these thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340885
(I search a solution for that problem about a month ago).....
I manage to port the old XIP section (First wm6 leaked rom) to the new Dopod rom.
Now when sometime's edit you registry and soft reset the ppc No pass lost no mail acount's disapear's No connection setting's lost and other's few think's....
So from cooker's the only think you have to do is to place the ROM folder in your kitchen and build your ROM.
The Os.nb is in Greek but that doesn't affect your rom cause the only think taked from Os.nb is the XIP section and some other info (Like build day (os.nb have the day to: 11/05/07) ,Rom version (os.nb have version: 03.10) on boot etc..).
So when you change your ROM folder with that and build you ROM you have the same ROM like before but with other XIP section.
Do not flash these in your device cause you end with a full Greek language OS!
These is only from Cooker's!
Also the Os.nb have the big_storage function (Merge extended_rom).
Os version: 5.2.1933
Build date: 11/05/07
Rom version on boot: 03.10
Thank's

in FAMAN 4.0, but it's the only one ?
edit: my device is HTC P3600, CID unlocked with pof tool, running faman 4.0 no mail, gprs, wifi, bt, settings disappear !

I have used FAMAN 4.02 and it has the "settings lost bug". But I havnt tried 4.0

This bug is absolutely awful ! I can confirm it is present in bepe 0.79 and schap's 4.30 ROMS. It will be very good if someone confirm this xip patch is working, and which ROM does support it.
I have configured 4 e-mail accounts in my phone, and when i lose them with that screen-fu**ing bug I just want to kill myself! The last time I have not stylus-reset the phone but remove the battery to restart and i had luck, but i don't know. Now I have configured the a <soft reset> function on one of the hw buttons, and I'm waiting to see if I can gracefully restart the phone when the bug happens again.

Milen

it really works after two weeks testing, comfirmed

Ax3l and MARY has the bug too. Only Faman 4.0 ?

Someone knows any "World Wide" EN release ? And can someone really confirm this XIP is fixing exactly this bug ! FAMAN ?

One solution
Hey, this night this bug crush me again. But I was prepared
Settings > Buttons > Button 1 (Hold) : <Soft-Reset>
The buttons are working, and all my settings are in place with the soft reset
If you use the hard stylus-reset, it is 80% sure your passwords are gone...
I care no more. I hope this will be a temporary solution.
BR
Milen

This worked for me an I also got a bonus from it!
I used this xip section and not only did it cure my disappearing email accounts and lost connection settings but it also changed my device id back to an old id allowing me use the TomTom navigation program I purchased a while back. Each time I updated to a rom with a newer build, the device id changed. TomTom keeps a database on their server of device ids and product codes. When you load tomtom software onto a new device or a newer rom on your current device you have to reactive the tomtom maps (by typing in the product code that came with your map purchase). If the device id and product code don't coincide with what tomtom has on their server the activation fails and you cannot use the maps. I already used up all my chances to update my device id online and also had tomtom update it manually for me one time. I spent between $200 and $300 buying the software and paying for updated maps. I was disappointed that I was unable to use it just because the device id changed when I upgraded roms. I'm glad I no longer have to revert back to an older rom just to use tomtom.

not working solution for me

After all these contradicting reports and my own experience with the original Dopod rom, I get the impression that it's not only related to the xip, but must be linked to some other circumstance.
Some people lose their settings over and over, while others like me are mostly unharmed. I have just once lost some settings in my htc home, while password and WPA-keys were never harmed.
Have fun!

I read on FInixNOver Rom post that it does not lost settings. But I will try it by myself, because I do not believe in this kind of comentaries, where everything is sou beauty.. hehe
