Unlocking IMGFS or ROM volumes

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.

You guys can download the rom from here (language: CHT)

the rom page is here,

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? :?:

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?

Bat i desperate, after update to rom version 1.12.18 my radiofm and tv not work.

I have both a UK and US rz1710 with english roms right here - if anyone can find me an EASY step by step guide on how to dump the rom to SD using MTTY etc I'll gladly try it but I cannot be bothered going looking for a method as I am lazy :lol:
Richard

i've extracted the italian rom from my ipaq. it's the italian version 1.00.7 with osimagetool from xda. it works ok! i want a english version to write on my ipaq.it's very simple install xda tools select source device memory (current rom) and destination xxxx.nb1 and then press copy button.connect the ipaq first and start activesync.don't need to start in bootloader mode.

I would be SO freakin' glad if I could get this rom!
It's a matter of life and death

yeah, me too... :?

Hi guys!
I tried downloading XDATools as it seemed to be a 'one click' ROM dumper, but the link in the WiKi is broken (got error 500) and I didn't find it on the FTP.
If you can provide me with a working download location for this app or another similarly simple method of dumping the ROM I will gladly dump my iPaq ROM for you. (see ROM version in my sig)

ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/Tools , and there is xdatools.exe
Thx for helping

Have someone managed to change the 1710 ROM? I'm also looking for an method to do this. vflad wrote that he dumped his ROM. But what's the way to flash the dumped ROM on another IPAQ? Thanks in advance!
I have 2 Ipaqs (both 1710) and want to swap the ROM. I've already tried the "old" method which worked for older Ipaqs (Hyperterminal and SD Card). Therefore I bought an RS232 cable and modified it. I can see the boot messages in Hyperterminal after enabling the bootloader on the RZ1710 but I can't make any commands...
Sorry for my bad english

I've tried the method with OSImageTool. The ROM was dumped successfully. But now I'm at the point I mentioned in my last post.
I can't write back the dumped image to the 1710 ROM
OSImageTool just opens the patched MDA ugrade utility and this utility is saying that something is wrong. I think that this utility won't work on the IPAQ because it was written for an totally different PDA...
After this I tried the method with an SD Card and romupdate.exe (Multi-Port/USB TTY). After enabling the bootloader I can connect to the RZ1710. But I can not make any command. This utility is just hanging after pressing enter or any other key... (it's just like using my rs232 cable and connecting by hyperterminal).
But it's 100% connected to the 1710 and you can see some messages like "<CE-31>".
What's the problem with this device? I'm sitting for many many hours and I'm at the same point. I can't flash back the dumped file
Please help!!

Someone can post a rom for RZ1710 in Italian or at least in English, I need to change the rom to my IPAQ
Ivp

And in french ?
Is there a french rom in download ?

I also need the ipaq rz1710 english or dutch ROM
Hi guys, have you found the ROM in the mean time? I am also searching it.
My cousin wants to plan the building of his house on it, but he has a spanish version. (received from his spanish father in law).
Regards,
Bert

I have found an English ROM version for the RZ1710.
The only problem is that i get an "language incorrect! update cannot continu" error
Does anyone know how to bypass the language control???

Wow I see a lot of people are having trouble with their 1710. It sucks that HP didn't release the ROMs for this device, that would have saved all of us a lot of trouble.
I have this device in Spanish and I want it in English. Does anyone know what would happen if I tried installing the ROMs for a different device, say the iPAQ rx3100 (which almost looks like the 1710)? Would it accept the new ROM or would it turn this device into a mildly expensive paperweight?

Installing the ENGLISH rom on a device with a different language
=================================================================
The iPAQ Update Utility checks the language of your iPAQ against
language of the rom image and if they do not match, it refuses
to continue. To force the rom to install on a non-English device:
1. Identify the language of your device. The iPAQ uses one of these
three-letter codes for language:
ENG
GER
FRA
SPA
PTB
ITA
KOR
JPN
CHS
CHT
2. You will need to edit these two files using a hex-editor.
> iPAQPCSDK.dll
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Go to address C644 and change ENG to one of the three-letter
codes above.
> RUUClientDriver.dll
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Go to address E0FC and change ENG to one of the three-letter
codes above.
3. Run hpRUU.exe and hopefully the rom installation will now
proceed.

Worked like a charm and able to upgrade the ROM.

Need help with my Toshiba Portege G810...

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:

dx - my favorite ROM. However there is no Russian EzInput, (English, French, German and Italian only).

If you need english/russian kbd , better use someting else:
