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.

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?

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

Help finding WM6 upgrade for hx4700

Hi All,
I have been reading with interest all the posts about upgrading my hx4700 to WM6. I am still using 2003 and would like to try WM6. From what I have read there are some extreemly clever people on here and I would ask for advise. I found a very good post with full instructions (just what I need) using BootLoader.exe to load kozhura version of WM6 but every link I follow ends in a dead end! I cannot find the ROM file to download anywhere. I believe I need WM6_4700_0_7_0_RELEASE4.rar can anyone help point me in the right direction. Any help or advice would be aprehiated.
Thanks
Phil

p550 wm6.1 chinese
will be released soon..
http://www.pdaclan.cn/thread-12778-1-1.html

Laast week, I bought this device with ASUS P550 in HK,but it is traditionnal chinese,I want to chanege to english or russian.but I cant find the roms for english or russian anywhere, can someone tell me where I can find where i can download the rom,thanks!

Hi.
I have a question that doesn't belong to this thread but please reply - this seems to be the highest concetration of p550 users so far that I have seen.
The question is - do any of You have problems with in-call volume adjustment not working? And also, if You reply - do You have ASUS P550 or the Vodafone branded v1520?
I have the problem with in-call volume slider not working and so far I haven't found any solution
Please help to specify the problem. I think that if original ASUS doesn't have this problem, then it must be Vodafone's extended CABs that are causing the problem. Also it might be the Wizard reTOUCHed Dialer2 which I have installed, but I don't know yet as I haven't had time to hard-reset and configure the device again.

bump bump bump
please...

Google will not work on translation and I cant read russian.
can you help any further..

just use the rapidshare link and download...PM me for the procedure of update

Cheers
sent you PM

I don't understand why this information has to go through PM. Hdubli, I have sent You at least 2 PM asking for help with the same matter and You have not replied anything. What is this, a secret society? This is a PDA forum for crying out loud, why is there a problem to publish this information to everyone who is interested?

Hi all.
I hv a P550, but Rom is Ru. I don't understand Ru. Now I want change Rom from Ru to Eng.
Everybody can help me Rom of this device?

Help with this device

Hi!
i decide to post my question here because this thread is visited by too many "rom cookers"....
I have a Benq E72, but nobody knows how to help me =(
I'm cooking a spanish 6.5 rom using a kitchen that i found on a polish forum but it have an old XIP, so i found a new xip for smartphone i ported it to my Benq E72....
But my question is: The kitchen folder have a "ROM" subfolder and inside have the files imgfs.bin (1kb), the old xip.bin (2,89mb) and the file os.nb (3mb), so i replace the xip.bin with the new xip.bin i left the imgfs.bin but i don't know what to do with the file os.nb...(i'm not sure but i must integrate the new xip.bin into the os.nb?) i post my question here because both (excalibur and benq ) are smartphone and maybe the "cooking way" are the same and because this forum have high activity, more than the "smartphone general"....
Hope someone could help me...!
Sorry for my english
