I think this the time for making the latest released roms to be clean of carrier files, so we get more of free memory and also everyone can build his own one with this rom..
so how about taking these roms and extract => dump files => delete carrier files => delete carrier registries => repack the rom files ==> we get a carrierless rom!!
so anyone with me??!
Hi,
I flashed the dopod release and directly after it has booted the first time, while this popup comes up telling one that after 3 sec it is going to install the carrier specific software, customize bla bla and so on, I did a soft reset. This way you stop it from installing. After that you can mount the extended rom, have a look at the cabs in there and manually install what you like.
This works fine and this way you get your carrierfree WM6.

thanks for reply!
what about AT&T rom? it has some carrier files in OS.nb.
also dopod rom has some CABs that are includes in OS.nb so after every hardreset you cant make choice of installing them or not because thay are in the OS.nb files.
and to delete them you have to reCock the rom and delete them!!!
My idea is to make a rom that has no little file of carrier or also a tiny registery!! not to flash it as it is!!
Those carrier files are in the extrom, not in the os.nb, aren't they?
I'll change to my other pc, dump the rom and have a look for carrier files.
Edit: Found 67 exe files in the dopod rom, but I think there are no carrier files in it.
Edit #2: Found 2 dopod files in it, dopod_black.tsk (Theme) and P_Sound_Dopod_WWE_0713.cab (Soundfiles)

Take a look at Pandora's ROM Kitchen (recent thread). It does exactly what you want: take a clean (AT&A) ROM as base and then **** the extra you want yourself...
If you don't want the whole kitchen just take the OS.nb from it (or extract the OS from the official ROM).
Normally operator specific stuff goes in the extrom (that's the real bloat). The primary customisation that starts first is OEM specific (normally) and happens from preconfig.txt in the windows directory. For instance on the official ROM it runs a program to increase the in-call volume, which is very desirable as it means you can hear people when you are in a busy situation.
well, i done littel research about the different files in both Dopod and AT&T roms and made a file list.
you can find some register files in at&t rom *.rgu anyway i think there is also some files are same in name but different in version or build. for example the dialer in dopod support video call while the one in at&t does not support video call but it support PTT.
so here is the file list i hope it help you for knowing the carrier files.

did you look at the extended ROM and the cabs it install's before you pressed the reset button there are a few usefull cabs and settings applied to the device... IE there is a new WLAN driver applied...

Hmm, as I wrote I installed some CABS manually afterwards directly out of the ext Rom and everything was working fine for me - but maybe in my noob way of doing so - I forgot something very important though everything worked excelllent as long I was testing it.
Nevertheless, I cooked my own rom now with the pandora kitchen - and this seems to work fine as well
hi,
i've a general question about bepe's rom:
since v0.70 the bepe rom don't need an extension rom.
----
Build 0.70 - Bug check build
* For the new version the extended ROM is not used anymore
---
do the flash-process from bepe delete the unneeded old one? if not, how can i do this?
CU
an-di
Doesn't the Bepe Rom have large storage where the extended rom is merged into the main rom?
old roms, like a hard driver, have a C:\ ,at the same time have a smaller D:\ which we called extended_rom, this devided your space into 2 parts.
new roms, like bepe's, have only a C:\ !!!
No D:\ anymore, How can you delete something not exist?

Maybe the ext. rom from my previous htc wm5 rom..
if i install a new system on C:\ all data on D:\ in general keep alive..
no? i'm mistaken?
an-di
No.. the new Roms have 1 large Disk, the old rom split the same space over the main rom and the extended rom..
If you install the old rom then you will get a extended rom but the main rom will be about 10meg down...
The new larger roms are better as they are usable without having to tweak them.

the rom is not like "a new system" on c:\
it is a control of all your space.
yes, may be the extended rom data will still be there after you flash a new rom, you may even recover some files of it by special tools, but at the boot part of your storage , no index for the extended rom any more, means the data there is marked as useless, and other data will sooner or later cover it. the same as it is not exist.
please dont worry about that, most smart person working on it, they won't make sillly mistake.
Hi.
I'm know, that I am stupid in this situation, but...
I'm flashed X500 ROM on M600+. Ya, stupid.
With many manipulations, I have enter in bootloader.. This was very havy work.
Using USBDL_B02_0012_Lite.exe I'm can upload any ROM at my device, but after calculating checksum (he is OK), device print the message: "OS Image is NOT compatible with this hardware" and go in reboot.
I'm think, that device not real check hardware, but compare hardware, wroted in his ROM with hardware in flashing ROM.
Is anybody can help me - where in ROM file I can change his hardware configuration. Maybe his need just change one-two bytes... (I'm very hope this ) Or how another way to flash right ROM?
P.S. Windows can see the "Windows CE USB Devices\Microsoft USB Sync", but ActiveSync is not - in that first problem. Second - device not seen any SD-cards (but early, on original ROM hi was). Therefor, I can use only USBDL.
May be, anyhow can split ROM info block and ROM OS data, then change ROM info block between x500 ROM and m600+ ROM, and assemble new combined ROM?
Problem solved.
I'm change X500 ROM usbdl module's code for his take any ROM as compatible (just set one byte from 1 to 0). In this case I'm can't flash X500 ROM, but can flash any other ROMS. Now I'm select M600+ ROM. ))

Because my M600+ and your M700 have different ROM's, useless send to you my utilities, sorry.
I'm use:
USBDL_B02_0012_Lite for flash (in my case phone can't take ROM from SD)
kitchen-x500plus-shift-sequel-v9 for reversing ROM
IDAPro for disassembling
HEX Editor for change bytes
In the process of work, I learn, that ROM in BIN-file not compressed (in your case - I don't know), therefore this kitchen fully not needed - just a part. Just need to compute begining of USBDL section in ROM and in IDA start disassemble from that address.
And, of course, you need to know some assembler for understanting disassebled code (it is enought knowning assembler x86 in my case).
maybe magicbyte trick can help
look at this post:
http://eten-users.eu/index.php?s=&showtopic=14146&view=findpost&p=90874
it will guide you to change 4 bytes of the original ROM, and you will be able to flash it
Tadam, here it is, the long awaited (vaporware ? ), KisS20.5 rom. It might not bring you everything you expected, nor will it turn your ks20 into a brand new touch hd or whatever, but I think it's a bit better than KisS20.4.
As you've all waited for a long time, I'm also releasing a beta KisS20.x, work in progress on wm6.5 builds.
But, first, thanks to everyone who helped me building this rom here on xda and on Forum Mobiles, and special thanks to misterJP whose great work made all this possible.
::Tools & help: MisterJp, CopsFrance, Bepe, Ervius, No2Chem, Da_G, Cmonex, rickou26, weapons.b, farahbolsey, thorfr
Thanks to them. Forgive me if I forgot somebody.
ROM Information:
::Based on Diamond : CE 5.2.21109, build 20755.1.4.0 (full Xip+Sys Port)
::Based on 10E (february 2009 - spanish rom) for Modem/OEM/Drivers part
::Built with homemade kitchen
::For the start, only WWE version available
The philosophy behind this ROM is to have a small/optimized OS that could be easily personnalized. That's why I've only included small apps that don't evolve so much. Thanks to Preset Installer compliancy, all you have to do is to follow this tutorial to have your favorite apps automatically installed at first boot (you can choose for the apps you want, you're not forced to install everything). For those who prefer a zero effort Out Of the Box Experience, I'm also providing my own PI Package (it needs more work, but it's a good start). If you build one and want to share (only free apps, please), contact me and I'll update this post.
This rom is almost clean and most of the personalization stuff are in PI package, so if you want to do it by yourself, just don't install it.
I hope it's stable for everybody, if no bugs are found, I'll make localized builds. I'm still working on graphic driver replacement, but it's more complicated than I 1st thought, due to the fact that ks20 underlying drivers are built for wm6.0 and not wm6.1 (drivers architecture changed a bit, which makes almost any driver replacement break some dependancies)
For those who ask why flashing this rom over their stock lg rom :
::More speed (thanks to lots of optimizations)
::More stability (thanks to latest available lg drivers)
::Less battery consumption (thanks to WM6.1)
::Bugs fixed (but some are still there)
::SDHC support
What I didn't do :
* Didn't fix the gsm reload and backup battery bugs on recent builds. It doesn't impact KisS20.5 and has a low impact on KisS20.X build)
* Didn't include Extendir because it takes almost 10mb of ram, and there are still a few bugs (incompatibilities with some .net apps). As soon as it's good for our device (this shouldn't be long), I might update the rom to include it.
* Didn't include NetCF3.7 because it's a beta that has some compatibility issues (and don't include directx support).
* Didn't make a LZX version : need to do some tests to be sure it doesn't impact performance (doesn't seem it does, but I prefer to be sure). Anyway, it's not very useful as we wouldn't gain any program memory until someone () fixes the tools used to rebuild the rom.
Features:
Removed:
NetCF2.0
Microsoft Office One Note Mobile
Sample Music
Catalog
Welcome Center
LG Java Mobile
Included:
Microsoft Office 6.1
VoIP
NetCf3.5
PocketRar 3.8
Total Commander 2.5
FdcSoft Pim Backup 2.8
FdcSoft Task Manager 3.1
Esmertec JBed (2009 version)
Tweaks:
Too much to list
Known issues:
VOIP still doesn't work (not a real bug though, as it doesn't work either in official LG rom)
KisS20.5 : to have battery display in taskbar -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\ShowTitleBarClock=0
KisS20.X suffers from gsm reload (shouldn't be a real problem), "backup battery very low" popup when battery is fully charged (both are due to drivers incompatibilities). There are also some issues directly related to wm6.5 build (each build has its owns bugs). No, 21234 "final build" is not bug free, it's more an "api freeze", so I guess the best is to use recent builds and hope upcoming builds will fix more bugs than they will add . If you only have 1 icon in start menu (the today icon), restart your phone and try to wait a few seconds more before entering your sim code.
Depending on the feedback I have, I may release a small rom update to fix possible bugs. If you don't want to flash twice in a week, you might want to wait a few days before flashing to be sure it's stable.
Upgrade Instructions:
THIS ROM IS ONLY TARGETED TO UNBRANDED PHONES.
If you have a branded phone, make a backup of your nv2 using LGMDP and then unbrand your nv2 using one of the tools present in "NV TOOLS" folder (both should work)(don't worry, you can do the opposite operation anytime you want). If you have any question, ask here. Flash to 20.4 or other unbranded rom and restore your newly unbranded nv2 (with LGMDP connected in normal mode)
READ CAREFULLY THE ABOVE LINE PLEASE
OK, ONCE AGAIN, JUST TO BE SURE.
If you want to use Preset Installer pack, it's time to unpack it to your sdcard
Connect Ks20 to LgMdp in Emergency mode as described here (or use the tutorial/drivers/software pack from ibanezman192 located in post 3)
Choose "Select Image", then click on "Original" button
On the first line, select the folder where you expanded the rom. Following lines should be filled automatically
Click on start and go drink some beer
When flash is finished (in approximately 10min), if you're using preset installer, it will prompt automatically so that you choose the cabs you want to install. When it's finished, reboot your phone and start using it

[11 Jul 2009] KisS20.X Rom 5.2.23004 / Build 23004.5.3.0
This rom is a work in progress on wm6.5 and still has the few famous bugs. Although this generally doesn't prevent a normal use, if you absolutely need a stable rom (for work or whatever) or plan to use an Ui replacement (SPB, Manila...) which makes titanium useless, I suggest you to use the wm6.1 KisS20.5 until we manage to fix those annoying bugs (it might be a little bit faster, and use 5Mb less ram).
Apart from wm build, it's the same than KisS20.5.
[11 Jul 2009] KisS20.5 Rom 5.2.21109 / Build 20755.1.4.0
::Only unbranded version with latest Radio available (10E)
::Updated KS20 drivers to latest stock LG rom (10E - february 2009) + some other devices (Lg Incite, Toshiba G810)
::Added hardware acceleration support for most of the games available.
:atched kernel + some drivers for better performance
::Rewrote Lg InitApp (1st boot is faster / cleaner)
::Rewrote Camera Patch to have a faster load (c++ instead of .net)
::Wrote a small Shutdown app (shortcuts in Startmenu\System). You can use it in scripts with parameters : you can softreset (-r), hardreset (-h), shutdown (no param), + possibility to remove confirmation popup (-s).
::Changed "User Customization" to "Preset Installer" (you can choose programs to install on 1st boot).
::Fixed A2DP without the help of SRS Wow HD
::Removed SrsWowHd (you can still install it afterwards if you want)
::Updated apps (EsmertecJBed, PocketRar)
::Added direct access to Lg internal apps (engineer menu...)
::Added Arthemus' dialer skin/taskbar
::I knew it was a weak point on KisS20.4, so I really worked hard to optimize memory. There is almost 50% free memory more than in KisS20.4 (more than 51Mb free on 1st boot in KisS20.5, 46Mb on KisS20.X).

Does this rom feature the connection configurator tool from the 1.0f unbranded French rom ? This tool is very useful in configurating the data settings for us and allowing us to swap from an operator to another easely when we have several sim cards.

FAQ
I've got a message "trying to communicate with the phone" during flash and nothing else happens.
Try this.
My Wifi disappears sometimes in connection manager
Wifi driver is initiated during the boot, if it's not visible in connection manager (and the blue led blinks every 2 secs or so, just reboot your phone, that should fix it). The other reason wifi driver disappears is when you're connected to your pc through activesync. As soon as your disconnect, it's enabled again.
What's needed to build a rom for any language ?
Windows mobile comes into multiple packages (os, phone, office, shell, voip....) containing the programs. Most of these packages have a brother package containing the resources for a specific language (office_0409, phone_0409)...
OEM drivers made by lg also come into packages (oem_drivers, oem_bt...) and some of these packages have a brother package for the specific language (oem_bt_0409...)
To translate a rom, I need the packages for the related language (oem and wm).
Getting the packages for OEM is not difficult as I just need to unpack an official ks20 rom of the right language to get them. (so it means that this particular rom has to be downloaded somewhere on the web). But it takes some time to do it, so it's better if you give me just what I need (the whole oem folder is good). For that, just get my kitchen and follow the steps until you have an oem folder.
Getting packages for WM is more difficult because I can't take those from ks20 official rom as they are wm6.0 version and some don't contain everything needed. So I need to have the packages from a wm6.1 version. Just giving me a link to an HTC (or whatever) rom for this language is not sufficient because it would require me to find myself a way to extract this particular rom (if it's not protected, can be extracted and can be rebuilt) which takes time. So what I need is an archive containing packages, so that I don't spend multiple hours try to find how to get them. There are 2 ways to get them :
* get a rom for this language from any device, get a kitchen to extract the rom, extract it, rebuild packages, give me any 0409, 0408 or whatever packages it contains (be careful, I need packages, not only files whose name contain 040x).
* ask somebody who made a rom for this language to give you his packages.
Of course, I need the biggest number of packages you can find (for exemple, I include office in my roms, so if you find packages, but not the one for office, the rom won't be constructed correctly, when I'll do it, or it would need to be constructed without this specific package, which means it may show bugs not present on english/french roms, something I don't want to do.). A soon as I get all the packages I need, I should be able to construct a KisS20 rom for this language.
Please note that for wm6.5, I'll need wm6.5 packages, not wm6.1 (in wm6.5, many things have changed and some packages were added, so using packages from a 6.1 rom surely won't work).

Is it the one from the French rom ? the one from the HK rom has HK operator profiles, while the one from the French rom has the French ones, (such as Orange, SFR, etc etc)
As I've taken localisation files from the 10f branded, I guess profile information is empty. I'll check and update rom tonight if necessary.

Hi spocky12, are you ready to upload the new WM6.1 WWE ROM??
Maybe add a better (Touch-like) dialer, FTouchFlo and support for microSDHC cards?
Also, add a drop-down task manager in the upper right corner (don't if that's what you call Task Manager, though).
Finally, I personally like iContact better, as it starts faster than PocketCM
Almost everyting works as it should. I'll post it as soon as a figure out why camera can't take pictures anymore
As for user customization, it'll be up to you. Next rom will be UC compliant so I'm only working on os files/drivers with only a few tools embedded.

is it possible in future to make a "clean" wm6.1 rom - no tweaks, no removed or added programs just as is; maybe just lg menu if its possible to be ported?
THX Spocky you're the Men ( and French!!!)
I can't flash these days but I'm sure it's a perfect build with Voip working!!
(If anyone try give us answers, will try throught BT headset less than I week).
Once In France will feed U throught you're "signature" because men, if Voip works U change my life!!!! ( and bills!!!)
PS: oh SRS built in!!! (but still tweaky for BT headset...thx XDA-DEV)
THX again
Now it's working
Is it in French ?
As their name says, FR version is in FRench and WWE version is in World Wide English.
I successfully flashed and tested the Franch branded rom and there are a few issues (beside the camera)
- Contacts are broken, impossible to browse and add contacts using the contacts menu on this rom (installing pocket contact manager partially fixes this issue)
- No profile selector, not everyone uses crappy vodaphone live and SFR operator. (this can be fixed by manually entering the settings but it is annoying to do so, especially on a rom that is supposed to be unbranded)
- Only partially compatible with CE-Star which is a REAL disadvantage for people using their phone to read/write chinese and japanese texts.
There are real improvemments though
- The rom seems more stable
- The rom runs much faster
- The rom boots faster.
If it was not for the contacts issue I would have kept this rom, but contacts menu is just a must have on any phones.
Also the unworking camera is a big issue but I can leave with it.
Thank you for your feedback. That's exactly the kind of problems I expected and that's why this rom is in beta stage.

There's a tool called Autoprofile.exe in windows directory and I put a bunch of xml files for operator selection. Start menu shortcut is missing though. It'll be there in next release. Is this what you were talking about or is this something else ?

Could you please tell me more about this ? What do you mean by "partially compatible" ? Are other WM6.1 roms for htc phones supporting this completely ? If so, do you know how or what I should do to test (I don't speak chinese or japanese) ?
[KITCHEN+ROM][WWE]Stock Diamond 2.03 Kitchen & Rom ported with 21042XIP/SYS (Online)
I've seen a few requests for kitchen's & rom's based on 21042 XIP/SYS so I decided to knock one up using the 2.03MRII 2.03.401.3 base and XIP/SYS from 21042 build.
This kitchen & rom is currently completely stock. Nothing removed from the OEM & SYS folders, no tweaks no addon programs just standard diamond build with newer core.
The only extra included which isn't in the original stock rom is remote desktop mobile (came with the sys not an extra) which of course you can remove from the kitchen if you wish. As it's the new sys it obviously contains the newer builds of MS apps including Windows live. Also this does not have the newer version of IE, just standard version.
Keyboard currently supports English, French, German, Greek, Italian & Spanish t9 however this should be updatable with the 14 language patch available elsewhere.
The kitchen is bepe platformrebuilder in almost stock form. No extra tools except for it runs htc rom tool to build the nbh file at the end.
XIP is not changed in anyway except updated msxipkernel & msxipkernelltk from 21042. No pagepool patching, cert patching or time/date/name changes. os.nb.payload size is reduced in the kitchen however this has no bearing on the final rom.
As this uses bepe's platformrebuilder, if you wish to change the date, build, pagepool, cert patching in the kitchen directly, these need to be done on nk.exe in the oemxipkernel. Any changes made to os.nb.payload (except uldr) will not be carried forward to the final rom as the nk.exe will overwrite changes to the payload. The payload itself is not ported so if you extract this and replace the msxipkernel folders then you will be back to a 20764 xip. There is no need to port the payload as replacing the msxipkernel & ltk folder in the xip folder properly ports the xip anyway if you are using bepe's kitchen (surface kitchen does not work properly in this way)
Also any rom's built with this tool are automatically locked as the kitchen deletes rgu's & dsm's from the cooked rom for space saving and performance. The files are extractable but then all you get is a dump of the files, without being able to seperate to packages.
Hope this helps some of you out there.
Also on the link there will be a stock diamond rom built from this kitchen - entirely stock but with latest xip/sys - even .netcf is still v2.0 that's how stock it is. It does however have more storage memory as it is cooked - original has 82Mb total and 57 available - this has 102Mb in total and 75+Mb free. Using the kitchen you could make a rom with alot more free space however.
I would recommend atleast upgrading .netcf to 3.5 in this rom if you are lightly cooking. Package for this is available on the forum
If you release a rom using this kitchen, please do not forget to credit the source.
Shaks.P Roms are free and always will be. If you like my Roms optionally send me a drink here:

Important: Hard spl is required to use either the rom on this link or any rom created with this kitchen.
Basic Tutorial
As the rom is already ported & extracted, all you need to do is make your modifications then build the rom.
Step 1. Modify the sys & oem folders with the packages that you need. Make a backup of any folders you delete in case they cause issues with anything else.
Step 2. Once you are happy with the modifications, run build_rom.bat. This will create the os_new.nb file in the root of the kitchen folder. Once this is done, it will load the htc rom tool that builds & signs the final nbh file.
Step 3. Once the htc rom tool loads, select Build!, Change the version to anyversion you would like (this version only shows up when flashing). Under system, click on ... and select the os_new.nb file that has just been created. Then click on Build! ROM and this will ask where to save the nbh file and the name. Save as diamimg.nbh if you want to flash thru internal storage or any other name you like if using customruu.
Step 4. Ensure your device has hardspl, then flash the rom you just built either using custom ruu or using the internal storage method. If it doesn't work, you can allways flash another rom after getting the device in bootloader mode.
Can't wait

It's uploading at the moment. It is a seperate kitchen & a rom as well. You can make whatever type of rom you wish to with this. Just mention the original source if you release it.
The rom is if you want a stock rom with the new build. Looks like you need the kitchen. Should all be uploaded in next 15-20 mins. Had to start the upload again.
Thanks shaks!
Not only do you provide the best ROM around, but now also a kitchen, you rock!
sweat shaks thanx for sharing going to finaly try my own Rom you make us happier and happier every time
(EDIT)

This is just something I felt like doing for today. The kitchen won't get updated much (probably not at all as it's not modified). The roms will continue but will be going for the long release cycles again just like 3.20. I envisage I will probably have one more release and if that doesn't have issues then no more flashing till something big happens again (maybe stable tachi rom comes)
This kitchen is so stock that it can't replace my rom without alot of work - no tweaks, extra packages or anything for that matter except what comes in the stock as that's what some people wanted and I thought it won't take long so I did it.
P.S sorry for the delay with the upload. Having some issues

Well 3.20 was a damn good, stable, time tested rom. I know a few people who won't change from it at all. Tested the latest but went back to it because they preferred it. 4.x series are a little bit more experimental but still go for the same stability. Next release should take of that small percentage who have corrupt memory/hard reset issues hopefully but I don't expect a big changelog as 4.10 is otherwise fine.
Should the bluetooth work well with this rom?
Thanks!

Shouldn't be an issue - I use the same sys/xip in my rom without any issues with bluetooth.
Kitchen now online
Rom uploading now. I found if I tried to upload both at the same time, it kept stopping part way!

That's right - delete what you don't want, modify rgu's for packages, add your own packages e.g. using ervius package creator to turn a cab into a package or use a package already provided. You'll get lets of cooking help from here (talks about surface kitchen but basic concept the same):

Add your own packages into the OEM folder.
Downloading... In the meantime thank you!

Add this package to your oem folder for 14 languages & edit the line in the rgu to specify languages you want
