Possible to cook your own VGA ROM for Asus P750? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi!
I've recently found this forum and I've found lots of nice info and stuff about my Prophet and I recently registered too.
Yesterday I bought a new Asus P750, since my Prophet has seen its best days.
Some time after I decided for the P750 I discovered that it had a VGA-screen, and I looked for VGA ROMs, but I didn't find any for my native language, Swedish.
So, my question is: Can I make my own ROM for the P750? I've got a Swedish upgrade to WM6.1 from the ASUS website and I thought if maybe it's possible to modify it so that it uses the full VGA.
Or maybe modify one of the existing VGA ROMs.
The things I want are:
VGA
WM6.1
some of the things Asus puts in the original ROM
and preferably Swedish
If it's not possible/very hard I've got some other questions:
1. I heard of memory leaks in some of the VGA ROMs, is that fixed yet?
2. If I upgrade my ROM I lose my warranty, but can I use the warranty if I change back to the original? Can they detect that I've used an unofficial?
3. Is it or will it ever be possible to not have to change ROM to use VGA? (only install a program or something)
Thanks for reading, and sorry if I'm hard to understand, just ask me and I'll try to explain further
Cheers,
HermitoZ

German Qtek 9000 ROM available?

Hello!
The Qtek 9000 is sold in Germany with a ROM dated middle October 2005.
Is this ROM also available for download somewhere?
Unfortunately I couldn't find it yet...
I would like to try it on my MDA Pro! :lol:
Deal!
Hey,
I'm looging to change my Qtek german ROM to an English one.
I'm pretty sure we can find a deal in exchanging our ROMs!
But you need to tell me how to extract and how to reflash afterwards.
If interrested contact me.
The english ROM is here on xda-devs-FTP
But: please before flashing your OS upload the german ROM there!
This would be my very best xmas present
Cheers
Ok for your christmas present!
Hello Cendaryn,
I just need coaching or tutorial for extracting and then flashing the ROMs.
If someone tells me how to extract I will post for sure.
And I need also help to flash the english ROM.
Thank you
Well this is my biggest problem - I know how to flash the ROMs but not how to dump them. But I guess a little search in the forum here will help
Cheers
uni_cdl-me_11238_132_10301_ship.exe ) Is this the Qtek ROm? if its not please show me the direction.
Sorry
Sorry with no tutorial I can't help.
I'm really willing to post the german ROM. But haven't a clue where to start.
Does anybody know?
Thank you.
Dumping the ROM seems to be not easy
this is what I found: [Universal] How to d2s (dump) the ROM
I can't help you because I dont have a Universal (Qtek 9000) but I'm very interested in files of this ROM too!!!
Dumping the ROM seems to be not easy
Well, you say it.
If I look the post you mention I still have no idea where to start ???
I keep on seeking for complete tutorial.
By the way, does anybody know if changing the ROM is also changing the WM language? Or do I have to change separately?
Thank you.
A ROM also includes the WM language.
Maybe this topic helps:

Near to target ... but ...
Hi,
Thank you for the links, I feel I'm very close to dump the german ROM.
But not done so far.
And I'm becoming impatient because I found the ROM I want to put in place.
Keep on helping me end pray for I resist not to flash the original german ROM. :twisted: :twisted:
Arrgh!
I'm going mad to find how to backup original ROM.
Don't know if I will resist any longer to flash without backup.
Would You please try to run grab_it on your Universal?
This would give us a RAW-ROM-Image.
and i need a file dump (TestWM5) of a German ROM.
but you will need a Storage Card to do this.
German ROM needed ?
Hi all,
just reading through this thread here. I have an original VDA-IV with an unchanged ROM. I am trying to convince myself to upgrade to JasJar or O2, but did not do so yet. Any wish for a dump from me ?
(Have to leave now, but am able to do so tomorrow)
Ruud
yes, yes, yes...
@Ruud Westerhout: view your last Post
I am getting today my german qtek 9000.. But I will flash to wwe Qtek.. I will try to dump the german one first.. But maybe I need a little help..
Alex
Idea
Maybe, we can have it a little easier, because I think, ROM dumping is very difficult and could also be hard to flash on other devices. For MDA compact (HTC Magician) for example, you had to edit the dumped ROM with a binary editor before it worked on other devices. Also, there often were problems with some SD card readers/writers, etc.
The best way would be getting a ROM update from the vendor (e.g Qtek) as a complete EXE-File. This could be flashed on other devices with the maupgrade_noid-Tool from xda developers FTP server.
So, it would be nice of you Qtek users, if you could write an e-mail to Qtek.ch!
They offer updates for Qtek users, but you need to mail your IMEI number. So MDA Pro users are not able to get Qtek updates this way.
I'll do this.. No problem..
Any other requests??

How to cook own rom

Hi
I am intrested in making my zinc WM6 ... but I couldnt find any in cooked rom for it. Just wondering is there any how to in making cooked rom? also where can i find the base WM6? Would be very grateful if anyone can share the know how ... eace:
for most devices cooking mean adding programs one wants in extented rom so they autoinstall
there is no such thing as a base rom all roms are unique to the device they were made for
thanks for the expalination ... if i want to make a rom for my zinc, how do i replace the existing WM5 rom to wm6 rom? and where can i find the wm6 rom? can i use the hermes wm6 rom i mean the posted wwe,cht, jp roms? as the base of the wm6 rom ? TQ
no only a custom zink wm6 rom if such a rom exist would do
ok ... but then again for others like wizard or hermes there r still no WM6 rom right? so how did do they come out with a WM6 rom?? thanks again
a beta test rom was leaked for some devices
like many of the wm5 roms for devices like himalaya and blue angel were leaked
but some devices will get official roms from htc believe hermes is one of those
Um, very interesting. Rudegar, seems like you know a lot about this ROM business. (myself, i'm unexperienced, but would like to know something). So, tell me:
I personally own a Dell Axim x50v WM5 A02, and while Dell would no longer provide any, since they just discontinued those models, i was searching for the custom upgrades.
So, do you need to have a leaked base WM6 ROM specifically designed to be run on an Axim, in order to built a WM6 Custom ROM for Dell Axim, or can you still make one from scratch, AND i mean use any leaked WM6 ROM (such as the one for the Hermes), and then rewrite some lines of code in order to adjust it to the different drivers installed on an Axim?
Some Russian guys from 4PDA made a WM5 AKU 3.5.2 custom upgrade for the Dell Axim by adjusting it to its drivers (they are experiencing some issues with them thou). While it is not WM6, do you need to have a leaked AKU or something for that device as well, or is it just for running an entirely different operating system on it? WM5 itself is a natural OS running on a Dell Axim x51v.
But they also claimed that they can make in the same way Wm6 upgrade for Dell Axim. Without the already leaked WM6 ROM for it, is it really possible?
in theroy i guess you can make it from scratch but it's suppose to be diff
read this for info about the topic in general
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296728&highlight=drivers+AMD+WM6
So, does upgarding just the AKU, which was never released for the device, requires the leaked version as a whole OS?

Best German/English Rom

Hello Guys,
i am wondering, whats the "best" rom for my diamond.
I would prefer a german one, but i would also take a english one
At the Moment i have this one: RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_1.37.401.3_Radio_Signed_Dia mond_52.26a.25.09_1.00.25.03_Ship
Than i have a second question:
When i want to flash a new rom on my device. Do i have to hard spl?
Thank you.
I am also interested in a "good" german ROM.
Where did you pull the version information from? And when & where did you buy the TD? My TD (bought at amazon.de) is 2 weeks old and has the version 1.37.00.00 (seen suring startup)
Thanks
JayZee2
Whats meant with TD?
I think you mean the diamond?... i got it from T-Mobile.
The Version information is from the ROM i flashed on my device
But its an english one
Hello,
Without the intention of being Rude - HAVE YOU TRIED SEARCHING?
A good place to start is modmydiamond but there are answers for all your questions on here already...
Hello,
i already tried searching, but my problem is, that i can't see wich would be the best fitting rom for me... i don't know e.g. why to take elites or duttys...
@ SELFARIAN
in each cooked rom there is a list of removed/included applications, so depends on ur need u can choose the best rom for u!
all the cooked roms r very similar to the shipped roms there is no big differences.
i recommend u to stay with the original shipped rom and make some registry tweaks to improve performance.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

[request] CHT/JPN language support cab + a question about 6.5

I've been looking all over the place for a cab that I can install into my x1a (original canada rogers ROM) that'd enable me to read chinese. I'm not interested at this point in time to install a Chinese ROM. I've tried CEstar. i didn't like it. I'm hoping that someone would be gracious enough to either make a CAB that would allow me to read chinese w/my x1a. or even just to point me to some specific CABs that would allow me to read chinese.
Also, I was wondering if anyone can give me an update about the offical WM 6.5 updte for the x1a. I'm highly interested in getting the official update more than the custom upgrade.
Try to find sunglobe.cab. It's been working fine for me since 6.1
it's great =] I got my x1a now reading chinese! thanks so much for your help.

QTEK 9000 WM6 Upgrade

Hi guys...
I like this forum, you can find so much stuff here, which leads me to my question for you, I have a QTEK 9000 (ripped a new and unused one from the internet) which I would like to upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.
I know where to find the ROM's and I read everything about how to upgrade, but, I am not so technical in the ROM know about, and before I mess up my beautiful QTEK.
I need some help with information about a good Windows Mobile 6 ROM i can use to upgrade, there are a lot of them, but I am unable to see which one is good and which is not.
I want to use a clean as possible ROM for that, non I-MATE or HTC stuff on it (if you get my drift), maybe I as to much, like i said before, I found the ROM's but can any one of you guys give me hand which one i can use, which is stable and works fine.
I don't use the QTEK as a phone, only as a mini-netbook with wifi :-D
Thanks to anyone responding to my thread here.
Regards, alexander-wolf
alexander-wolf, by stable I assume you mean that you don't want to see your phone freeze when doing important tasks/answering calls...etc? If this is the case, then I can only suggest to use the last WM5 rom from Swat4 found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409966
Or if you want WM6 rom, try Tomal's v8.2 and v7.7 - I've found them to be the most stable but at times, I had problems with phone freezing when new sms/mms/phone calls coming in.
I've switched back to Swat4's WM5 which has never let me down.
Thnx
@ Final5k
Thank you for your advice, I will give it a go (i allready made a copy of my original WM5 ROM just in case)...
Regards,
