i780PDXHL2 ROM - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Folks,
Would the ROM at the following Samsung site http://fus.samsungmobile.com/i780/sea/PDXHL2/i780PDXHL2_Upgrader_XP.exe be compatible with the i780 in India ?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry folks, ignore my question. After running my exe, it gave me a wrong software version. So looks like it's not compatible with my phone version.

this is not the issue.
you need to change the EXE of the installation (after you extracted it from the upgrader file) using HxD and then it will work.
look back in the forum (use HxD as a search parameter) and you will find the instructions.

Thanks All, edited the "DXHL2_XP.EXE" file from the installable and it ran seamlessly. My phone is now on the DXHL2 version and works fine.

Have you noticed any improvements in battery life or speed ever since you upgraded?
My phone is an Indian i780 also on the DDHE1 rom. I am looking for an upgrade but would love to hear your experience on this rom.

Windows Media Player 10 Mobile

Microsoft have released Windows Media Player 10 Mobile but only to manufacturers. It is not, and will not be, available as an update or download unless your manufacturer provides an update or updated ROM.
I pulled a ROM update down from one of the OEMs whove done an update and could extract the files for WMP10M, but I'm not sufficiently up with the whole ROM cooking thing to incorporate them into a new ROM for my Blue Angel.
Anyone fancy giving this a go ?
Can you Zip the files and Upload here?
yeah, let the expert assist you.
I am very keen to have WMP 10 too.
just upload the ms.nbf file of that ROM and the rest is up to us.
This is a link to the ROM update for the Dell Axim x30 that contains WMP10 :
http://support.dell.com/support/dow...eviceid=6672&devlib=7&releaseid=R87096&p=HTTP
I downloaded this and used a tool (which I now cant find - doh!) to extract it.
What else would you guys need ?
Do you need a copy of my current ROM ?
If so, how do I make a copy of it ?
Sorry, that last post was me...forgot to login.
i have downloaded the file.
After extracting, i found 2 *.IMG :roll:
therefore, i try to use UltraISO or MagicISO just to extract *.IMG but it fails.
Some other experts may need to participate
I presume DumpRom will not help us.. Mamaich? :wink:
What kind of Pocket Pc have you upgraded? Dell ??
OK.
I got an iPAQ rom update from HP here : http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/handhelds/us/download/22279.html
I ran it so it copied the filees onto my PC hard drive.
I then ran dumprom.exe against the d2b10110uo.nbf file and got all the files from the ROM.
I have them all in a zip file as I am not sure exactly which ones are required for WMP10M. I have zipped up and attached all the ones that look as though they are WMP10M related.
i suppose all the files has to be zip into *.CAB
and copy over to PDA and unzip it
is this all the files that belongs to WMP?
i think let the expert do some testing

Sorry, I must hve missed your comment. The rom can be got from here : http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/handhelds/us/download/22279.html
Sorry, tried to upload but it keeps failing.
Anyone tried copying the files in wm.zip to their xda2 and trying to run wmplayer.exe ?
wanna try but at work with no cradle
Locked up after a few seconds of the "wait" icon on my PDA2K running 1.31 WWE and 1.06.02 Radio.
First you are missing many WmFiles,there are many that are not begin to Wmxxxx,but unfortunately I can't remeber others.
And I think DumpRom is missing relocation on Dll files,like discussed time ago
I thought someone had mentioned that WMP10 software is "somehow" tied into the hardware or the OS specific to the devices so it wouldnt be possible to extract the executable application and make a cab or whatever and run it on any other devices that it didnt ship with...
I'm no guru with ROMs and stuff.. but if any one of you guys manages to make this work, it will be awesome!
Good luck!
i heard someone had the cab or a way to install wmp10 ... anyone here knows how?

hi there, try this.
download a official rom first, then use winrar extract all files, you will find ruu_sighed.nbh. use NBHextract or ROMbaker you can extract .nb file from this .nbh one. that is your os!
that's what all i know. i'm new as well.

You can unpack it with Winrar..
Open winrar and point to the .exe file, and u will be able to unpack all the files, as were it a normal rar archive.

Samsung i780 kitchen - release 0.2 BETA (New Version!)

PLEASE NOTICE THAT THIS KITCHEN IS A VERY EARLY BETA AS IT HAS NOT BEEN DEEPLY TESTED
*** USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK! I ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY! ***
Hi guys,
after many days of testing I'm releasing my kitchen for i780.
It is very basic: no gui, only batch Windows scripts.
What you can do with this kitchen:
A) Convert your Part02.raw dumped rom to bin flashable PDA rom
B) Create a dump folder to cook your own rom and recreate a bin flashable PDA file.
Please notice that there's no tool included to edit, add or delete modules and files from rom dump.
You must use one of the tools available here in forum to do this or do this by hand.
Donwload the zip file and extract everything.
READ CAREFULLY THE README FILE IN THE ZIP ARCHIVE
This file explains how the procedures work and what you need.
PLEASE TEST THIS KITCHEN AND REPORT YOUR RESULTS
I thank chaimd for his bintonb0 tool, tadzio for his tools and Juggler for conv3 sourcecode.
I also thank Topogigi for his original procedure.
I modified conv3 tool to make it work with i780 rom files and made split and merge tools.
If you want to try this kitchen, I thank you!
[FONT=&quot]If any guru in the forum wants to make a gui for this kitchen or insert tools for module, file and registry editing (like the ones you can find in other kitchens), it would be appreciated.[/FONT]
Issue 1: it seems there's a problem with Part02.raw conversion. It screws up connection settings. Problem is being investigated.
[Partial solution]: it seems that this problem is due to both size and language: I used an English rom to convert an Italian Part02.raw.
Using an Italian rom seems to solve the problem. But you must check the new rom size: if it's too big it gets cut down and it doesn't work.
Version 0.2: this version contains a new conv3 release. This release it's a little bit more complicated than the previous one but it supports a wider variety of rom images and guarantees correct conversions. Previous release could lead to incorrect roms so you should consider it as deprecated.
For Issue 1, limitations are still the same: you should use a rom of the same language of the dump and mind the result size
this is just great
great job
great effort for the great device.
I will try for sure, thanks a lot
Recreate???
At first thanks for the kitchen!!!
But I got one question... How can I rebuild the dump folder and what files are needed in the kitchen directory to recreate???
Do I just have to start RecreateBin.bat and it uses the files from the dump-directory???
THANKS!!

You must read the PDF file in the kitchen directory. Some parameters may change according to the ROME used
Hi Famusc,
Great Kitchen!
I have some questions before I can try your kitchen.
In the PDF you mentioned, an existing bin PDA ROM, what do you mean by that and how to get it? I have E1 ROM .raw files with me but not the .bin file.
Cheers,
Vibranze

Hi,
Existing bin file will be used as a model ton convert your raw file. Famusc said that the bin file must be the largest possible. So far, we use the D1 bin file. The probleme is E1 raw file part is larger than D1 bin file.
There may also have concerns related to the language of ROM file. I try to cook a French raw file with an UK D1 rom, and the result is a broken ROM
Hi Eunjea & Webise,
Thanks for the explanation.
My current stock ROM is D1 and how to convert it to .bin format if I want to use mine?
Actually I always use English ROM and replace the wince.nls and add some fonts to support Chinese reading
Btw, how do I know what is the value for first jump, footer start and footer checksum address? In the PDF, the first jump address is on 444400 and in my bintonb0.txt I also have 444400, can I follow the same address?
Cheers,
Vibranze

I just want to backup my ROM which is built by my operator so that if I have problems with the upgrade I can always go back to my original ROM.
How can I create the bin files for te part 1 and 3?
Can anyone advise, as there is no bin file for the Omnia this kitchen will not be compatible, right? Or is there a way to create one?
I managed to dump an Dutch rom, version E1.. Could you explain how I can make a flashable image for the complete rom and/or how to make a radio rom from the three parts I dumped?
Furthermore, i have had some issues when I dumped the rom with the instructions that were in the readme.pdf.
There are some connection problems, that the originally phone doesnt have..when I flashed my rom, there werent any connection settings visible. e.g. settings > connections > connections > advanced > select networks, here was nothing visible.
It seems a bit like the same problem that people had with the english dumped E1 rom. Is there a chance that certain files from the raw files werent correctly put in the i780_flashable.bin (final product) ?
Is this the latest version of famusc's kitchen?

Hi All,

I would like to upgrade my WM6 to WM6.1 and my version is DDHE1 as it is from India.
It will be of gr8 help to a starter like me if someone could give a definitive answer on what ROM I should download and where, What Hex text I have to change and any other info.
I know this is a lot to ask, also the answer may lie in several of the threads in this forum. But for a nube like me, it will be of gr8 help if someone can give me a definitive answer.
Thanks.

3. if you're using winxp to update, just start mirage....load up the bin file of heroes 1.1 that you downloaded onto the PDA part (using mirage) (using vista - u need to get usb drivers for ur i780 - search for i780 mirage update usb drivers)
4. now start ur i780 in emergency mode... 1st turn off ur device, remove batt...put it back in, 2nd hold function+enter+power (for atleast 5-6 seconds...until you see "Emergency mode" on ur display)
5. click "Detect" on ur mirage updater....and once mirage is ready....connect ur i780 to the usb cable.
6. this will flash ur rom over....and once its done - ur all good to go!

Thanks dreamtheater39 for your detailed instructions. I'm n00b for flashing ROMs. Right now, I've upgraded to DXIB1 using Samsung's official all-in-one upgrader. But, I will surely try various cooked ROMs - EFN, Heros, Inertiax, etc.
ddhe1 --> dxib1
Finally got my i780 DDHE1 ROM updated to DXIB1.
Figured which file to edit, how to edit for this:
Upon unzipping (using Winrar) the DXIB1 upgrader downloaded from Samsung website as per sunaymehta's instructions, edit the DXIB1_XP.Exe (for XP) using HxD editor suggested by mGforCe. Search for I780DX, change it to I780DD (this is at only one place - near to very end of the Exe file), save the file. That's it. Then follow the upgrade instruction given in FAQ to move from DDHE1 to DXIB1.
i780 (Indian) Upgrad
Thanks I followed your steps, worked fine for me too
