Hi !!
Does anybody know how can I make a Backup of the existing ROM of my Toshiba G900 ..... in order to be able to try another "cooked Roms" here ...... and so if things go wrong ...... to be able to restore my original ROM????
Thank you in advance !!!
I would appreciate any guide !!!
Thank you
You are kind of in the wrong forum. Try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=259 , and do a search for ROM backup for this site using google first. There is probably already a thread about it somewhere.
Toshiba G900 rom
A few weeks ago i dumped a rom of a portege G900 using this guide:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoDumpRom
i wanted to extract some dll that where on the Rom.
It was no problem to extract the rom. On other forums however i have read that there is currently no way to write a rom to the phone. This due to the fact that Toshiba didn't release a software sollution for this. To write or update a rom you have to ship the phone to Toshiba. I don't know if this is true because i haven't tried to write a rom. I doubt it is possible to use the utilities on this site for this since they are developed for HTC phones. mayby you can contact one of the developers of these utils and ask them. for this you should check the link supplied by in the previous post.
one request. i forgot to dump the last partition that contained the system.hv file. therefore i mis some registry settings. My friend sold his portege, so there is no way to dump this partition any more. if you could post this file (system.hv) for me?
Arjan
Thank you all for your response.
adejager1: I will post you the file you need if I give a try and can extract the rom. I will try ..... however ..... newbe as I am ...... probably I'll have some problems!!! One more thing, my ROM is in SPANISH ..... I don't know if the file you need will be useful for your system.
Thank you very much again for your help.
Hola Laostia,

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.

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?

no, you don't need to have it cid-unlocked. everything is in this great forum! read this:

after you've flashed your phone with the USPL, you can have ANY rom you want on your phone!
if you got tired of the rom of your choice, you can change it again! simply flash your device once more with the USPL, then flash with another rom of your fancy. as great as that!
remember, as a precaution, just ALWAYS flash your device with the USPL first before you flash again with any rom.
Thank you - however, Its not clear to me what that mod is for? Are there any PDA's out there which have gps, phone, wifi, bluetooth yet support SDHC?
Thank you!

Hi again,
i already did so.
But i do not understand the english version also. Maybe my 8 years learning english in school was not enough.....
What i do not understand is the following:
3-Formats the MSD to both FAT and copy files to this.
Hmmmm.....
I understand, I do not write good translation that I use a translator.
That means it is more or less as follows,
Formats the MSD to both FAT and copy files to this.
Formarte the mini SD card to FAT, once this formatted copy of the extracted files .RAR to the Mini SD.
I hope that now we understand.

Ok....
I did so.. now there is a white window with "ASUSP535 FlashROM Update" and "SD download" ...... but nothing happens. My 4GB SD Card was already formatted with Fat. I copied the two files into root of SD-Card. I did not format new. Is this wrong? Must the MSD be formatted, so there is no other file on this card??

But this problem is eliminated if returned to his official ASUS ROM.
If the problem is that now has a WM6.1 Rom, remove and install the ROM 19400. You can download it HERE.
This ROM has a self-configuration of networks of all telephone companies.
I hope you will help.

ok. of course. But i need a utility now for WM6, because now i have my original(?) Rom on my P535.
As far as I can see if it has worked and has been able to restore the return to his official ROM, congratulations.
The issue to me says I will not be able to help much, I can think of only searching on google to find out the parameters to be put to set the phone with Vodafone.
Let us hope that some companion read this and you can help me more than I do.
Sorry.

Hi,
I bought this phone in Taiwan without thinking too much of it. The pre-installed Windows Mobile 6.1 is in Chinese - that's fine. But I cannot believe that it doesn't let me change it to an English system...! My friend's HTC Touch lets him do that. How's that possible? I thought changing language would be one of the fundamental functions?
Anyway, does anyone know if I can ever change my Windows from Chinese to English? And how I would do it, if there were ways of doing it?
Thanks...!
Can anyone help...?
the language is located in the rom and flashing it with an english rom should make it english
dont know anything about flashing toshibas myself though
If you dump the rom, probably one of the talented people that frequent xda-developers could help you.

what do you mean by "dumping" the rom...?
i guess the portege g810 is just not popular enough for people to develop anything for it... maybe i just need to wait...
From the wiki: "The ROM holds the Operating system and other components such as the bluetooth and wifi stacks. The ROM is accompanied by the Radio, Ext_ROM, SPL and IPL."
Basically if you dump the ROM from your device, the language files can be changed, and then you could re-flash the modified ROM to your device. I'm not sure how to do all of that, but there are many people here that do know. I believe the first step would be to dump the ROM from your device. Please see the following thread:

NO!!! That would ruin your device. I posted a link to that thread because it contained instruction for dumping a ROM. You can only flash your Portege G810 with Portege G810 ROMS. That's why you'd have to dump the ROM from your own device, modify it, and then flash it back to your device

Hi. First you must try to dump the ROM and upload it somewhere (share it with XDA. I guess some of the masters are looking for the G810 rom).
Try to follow the steps described here:
