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? :?:
Sjengie
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?
rom update problem
I'm italian and have a rom of bond.
Bat i desperate, after update to rom version 1.12.18 my radiofm and tv not work.
With old version 1.06.15 radio and tv work fine.
Is possible downgrade my bond? where find my old rom?
Please help me!
Hello,any one have English ROM for Gigabyte G-Smart, please send me it...I have one with Chinese ROM only
my email is [email protected]
thanks a lot :?

many thanks

hi Cruzz,
cheers for being the only one to respond, i know there are a lot of panda users who are likely to be following this
the problem for me and probably most others is as follows, i can pull the wm5 rom from my argon, but beyond that i am lost, will any wm6 rom work? and what do i need to keep from the wm5 build.
i admit building the rom is beyond my skill, will try but unlike hexediting an app, i make a mistake i brick my device.
will give your advice a try but can you reccomend a base wm6 rom i could use and also what files do i need to keep?
cheers
Chris
Same situation
I am also currently trying to cook a custom ROM for HTC PAND100.
I have an O2 XDA Argon and am trying to get HTC rom onto it.
although this is beyond my skill level also, the tools supplied by the likes of buzz/pof/etc (sorry for the ppl I missed) make this quite easy
Im am very close to cracking it but need a copy of an O2 rom image.
Is there an easy way to extract the ".nb" files from my device? e.g buzz' tool that dumps a ".bin" file or an easier method?
I have a copy of the HTC RUU and extracted ".nb" files if anyone requires this for comparison/wants to swap sum Panda files.
Cheers people.

Ok guys/gals,
I just managed to dump the dutch rom. So how do I turn this into a backup usable for all dutch diamond owners? I have part00, 01, 02 and 03.
Goeie zaak rwijnhov.
I don't excactly but in the kaiser thread i saw a manual for dumping roms. I try to find it.

You must reconstruct the ROM as described here
MayBY a dumb question, but did you save Ur original SPL???
before U flashed (if U flashed by the way??) it?..
Asking cause I also have the dutch version, but still reading (lotsof post B-4 flasing nd upgrading) , nd don't want 2 F-up in the beginning
I don't believe i have the original spl. But that's not needed the experts from this forum will provide for the old spl. Hard spl is hard to f*up.
Ok just finished, and am now testing... wish me luck.
All went well, as of now there is a working original dutch rom. Scary to do for the first time and verry scary to test yourself but it all worked well.
Ok not all is well. The only thing i am now missing with this self build rom is the touch flo 3d. Everything else is ok. So only missing touch flo manilla. Anyone any idea on how to fix this?
Can you post you're rom. I also am trying to build my rom but so far i only managed to dump the rom. I will look over for a 3dtouchflow cab.

ah, so basicly U mean when u flash ur spl to udgrade ur rom, it turns back 2 original spl??..
so no pmemdump needed? reason 4 asking is i saw somewhere in another thread that theyve posted an original spl of the diamond. it was 1.250000 but mines a dutch version and came with a 1.35 0000 as an spl... (dont wanna lose waranty just yet...)
thanX in advance...

Are you sure it is not somewhere a setting in the registry to start touchflow 3D, but it is still installed? Would be strange if that is the only piece of software missing.
On a side note, how did you recreate your dumped raw parts into a flashable ROM? Care to write down your procedure so I can have a try as well (must be real scary to flash your own ROM! )

Here you are:

perfect - thanks a lot for your support.
If you want to make it like the Stock XDA Diamond, first you have to flash spl 1.37 back.
regards
Anja31
Thx!
Yeah, thanks man!
you are my hero (4 2day)!!!
Just wondering, is there a "Homezone" app in the Rom...or is there maybe any "Häuschen" in the TouchFlo3d? If there is a cab file it would be really great if you could post it here.
Thanks man!
Thanks, it is nice to have an backup of the Orginal Rom.
Is it possible that you load on Mega?, with Rapid I have problems it said no DL Slot free.

I recommend you use mediafire. Rapidshare is only 50Kb/s for non-premium users...

Yes there is a häuschen alongside the datum and above the uhr. A .cab is difficult since nobody investigated from where the information comes. maybe a system service like on previous models, maybe it's inside manila ...
thanks a lot.
Finally I can try some other roms without losing my guarantee.
A small guide or a link how to undo the HardSPL thing would be nice.
Greetings
iggboert
thanks a lot.
hier ist the guide to downgrade.
if you have unsigned hardspl, you'll need to use the SSPL package (i.e. the same package that is posted in HardSPL thread to flash the hardspl), just replace the NBH file with one of these stock SPLs.
if you have signed hardspl, just go ahead and flash with normal RUU process (no overwrite protection in that one, as it is already only accepting htchackers signed files, there was no need for that).
also,
STEP BY STEP HOW TO RETURN TO STOCK SPL - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!
0. be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
1. download the stock spl package from post #39 in this thread.
2. download the package from post #2 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950 thread.
3. pick the SPL you want to reflash to (ONLY FOR WARRANTY REASONS), it's a .NBH file, replace the original .NBH in the package from post #2 with this SPL NBH.
4. run the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to black screen), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.
+5. to verify, volume down + reset, see version number on tricolour screen.

thx for the guide
is there a way to get the blue tf3d theme without reflashing my diamond? a solution like just replacing of the manlia.exe or something?
or can anyone upload me a copy of the manila.exe from the O²-Rom so i can try it myself?
regards

Hallo!
I bought a 02 XDA diamond. But it is in German (windows 6.1). I would like to change the language from German to English. Does anyone can help me how to do this.
I have no idea what is ROM and so on. I am completely new to this process. Shall I have step by step instructions please?
Thank you in advance!
Greetings!
Sony
whats the deal-will we be getting a WWE O2 ROM anytime soon? I love the blue tf3d
anyone has any luck with a separate cab created for this ?
can anyone sign this for me to use?
anyone ????
First of all I want to thank the guys posting the "reflash" Instructions again and again, so I finally found them too. Since Im trying out a lot with my Diamond (Not my first WM device, but first with cooked rom) I appreciate it, that it is possible to get back for warranty reasons.
There is just one little thing that I am not sure about yet:
I know:
- instal unsigned Had SPL
- Flash stock Rom (O2 XDA DIAMOND in my case)
- Flash stock SPL (I found he package in the Post mentioned)
I dont know:
- wich of the three versions in that spl-package is the one i need???
I hope so can tell me even though i hopefully never have to try this procedure!
Thanks so far
Hi and thanks for your great work.
My request would be for a stock O2 WWE ROM 1.93 if this is possible?
hi guys,
anyone here pls give me a link for the baupdateut.exe file?
thanks
Are you looking for the ROM to upgrade to wm5? I dont think I know what a baupdateut.exe is.
But anyways, check the wiki, they cover almost everything. I really don't know why anyone would want to upgrade to wm5. When wm6, 6.1, and 6.5 are already out.
@tada1228:
the baupgradeut is the tool to flash roms you need the Maupgradeut_noID to avoid country id errors
@empoy81:
i attached the file for you
