Hi all
I'm absolutely bored with deleting all the stuff that will apear in RAM everytime I make hard reset so I've decided to modifi rom to remove it.
Because I'm noob in editing rom I've made some research and found this:
Oreginal rom update is password protected, so I found another way using MTTY.exe and make dump of rom to SD card. Then I could copy .nbf file from SD card with ntrw2.exe. When I open this .nbf file with hexeditor I can find files what I want remove so it's look I have decripted rom.
With tool called DumpRom it's possible to extract these files from decripted nbf file !!!
But I can't find any tool to edit these files
I allso know how to flash edited rom back to pda but If I make some change in hexeditor flashing ends with checksum error.
So I need help from someone skilled who will help me with editing files and calculating a new checksum.
And isit possible to find rom password If I have decripted and encripted version of .nbf ??
nobody can help?
bump. Someone help

Hi,
I have a T-Mobile MDA Pro, and am not quite satisfied with the ROM they installed.
I want to try some different ROMs, like the O2 Exec, but I want to be able to go back to the original.
How can I create a back-up of the ROM, Extended ROM, and Radio ROM that I can put back at a later date ?
I've already seen grab_it by buzz, but that only makes a .bin file and I have no idea how to put that back if I ever want to revert to this state :/
Thank you,
TB
Please use the SEARCH button as this has been discussed already.
ANyway to help you do the following:
1. Download the latest T-Mobile ROM (the exe file) from the XDA Dev FTP site. Then extract this to a folder, say EXPERIMENT
2. Put the BIN file there
3. Go to Buzzdev.net nad follow the procedure to ENCODE/DECODE ROM. This will change the original nk.nbf (the OS) with your BIN file. using HTC64 Extended ROM Tool.exe
4. Then just put the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe file into this directory also.
Now you have your OS backed up ready to install to a device in the EXPERIMENT directory. Now just make sure the T-Mobile ROM you downloaded has the same radio ROM. If not, download a verison with same radio rom and replace the radio_.nbf file with the downloaded version.
Backing up the ExtendedROm has to be done manually. Just transfer all contents to a alternate directory in the PC then just put it back to replace what's already there.
Hope this helps
What do you do with the dump.bin file though?
Rename it to nk.nbf
Ha - that didn't work.
Did you follow the ENCODE/DECODE procedure in BUZZ's site?

Jorgee,
What you mean with:
"Backing up the ExtendedROm has to be done manually. Just transfer all contents to a alternate directory in the PC then just put it back to replace what's already there"
- What is the PPC folder where I find the content of ExtendedROM?
- How I can trasfer to PC, with ActiveSync? Sometimes I received error messages like "unable to convert file format" or something like that...
- How I can transfer back, is not the ExtendedRom locked?
Let me know...
Luca
To view the Extended ROM, just install TOTAL COMMANDER for PPC
Then in the address bar, put : "\\EXTENDED_ROM" (without the quotes)
Then you will see the contents of extended ROM.
If you want, you can copy the contents of the Extended to your SD card instead so you don't have to connect to your PC.
To unlock your extended ROM (to change/delete/edit the stuff there) you need a certain file which is in the FTP under Uploads/Universal/Tools or something to that effect.

Hello Jorgee,
I've tried to install Total Commander on my v1640 but when I access \\EXTENDED_ROM nothing is shown...
What's missing?
Thanks

Jorge I found the mistake, \EXTENDED_ROM is with only one back slash and not with two.
Thank you very much for your help...
Hello.
I have with rom image. Now I want change some files.
How can I extract files to edit resources ?
I download resoures using TestWM5 from SGH-i600 and some files dosen't have.
example: bbres.dll.
I wrote program in C# to read file to memory using MemoryStream, when
i want read file i have error : UnauthorizedAccessException - it's problem with privileges?
if the system you wanna dump is WM5.0, it's a easy work. Use grab_it or other util to dump the rom to raw BIN image file, then take IMGFS_TOOLS to extract files.
I have a Cab file to change the hardware keyboad in the registry [HKLM/SOFTWARE/OEM/Qwerty].
Ok, I have unlocket the Extended ROM (with the ExtROM_Utility.exe) and copy this Cab file, that I have, in the Extended-ROM.
Only one problem I have now, if I copy the Cab file into Extended-ROM and make a reset or hardreset, doas delete it the Cab file simply.
Can someone say me which I can do that to prevent?
Each assistance is welcome, thanks a lot.
Greets Danny.
I found a good and function way to make.

I keep a backup copy of all of the executables I run from my Ext Rom in a subdirectory of my SD card. I make the backup before I upgrade and then copy them back to the Ext ROM after a hard reset and unlocking it.
The alternative is to make sure you don't upgrade the ext ROM when you upgrade the ROM. There are three upgrade files in a full upgrade:
nk.nbf - this is the O/S part of the ROM
radio.nbf - this is the Radio ROM
ms.nbf - this is the replacement Extended ROM
If you don't upgrade the Extended ROM (i.e. delete the ms.nbf from the upgrade sub-directory), your extended ROM will be preserved after the upgrade and hard reset. All you will have to do is unlock it. Just make sure you use an unlocking utility that doesn't erase the Extended ROM (i.e. not the one supplied by Jwright). There is one somewhere on the forum. Also, bear in mind that if you don't upgrade the extended ROM, you will lose the benefits of any EXTENDED ROM the ROM upgrade includes.
Looking -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=251951&highlight=Extended+Rom+cooking
I make that and goes genial.
But I take not the "uni_extrom_unlocker.cab", I take the "ExtROM_Utility.exe".

Hi guys,
I'd like to modify a file from the windows folder.
I tried with TotalCommander and as the file is on the ROM, it says unable to delete/replace file
Is there a way to modify or replace this file ? I heard about making a cab file to replace the file but some help would be great
Thanks for your help
There is no way to delete or modify these files.
What you can do is copy your own file with the same name over it. The copy will actually reside in your storage memory and the system will use it until deleted or until you hard reset.
Note that if you want to replace system files on WM 5 / 6 you will need to sign them.
I think it would be better if you tell us what exactly you are trying to do as there may be a simpler way or an existing solution.
It's solved I tried with another rom and it works, I can replace the file.
Anyone got a copy of qtv.dll I can download? I want to see what I can do with it...
Unfortunately, I can't copy it off my phone and have failed in finding it elsewhere. If there are related files to qtv.dll I could use those, too.
Thanks!
I believe I did it myself... dump the rom and then extract files out...
Hopefully it's an exact copy...
can you upload the file here too please? have you figured out what is need register the dll in the system?
