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?
rom update problem
I'm italian and have a rom of bond.
Bat i desperate, after update to rom version 1.12.18 my radiofm and tv not work.
With old version 1.06.15 radio and tv work fine.
Is possible downgrade my bond? where find my old rom?
Please help me!
Hello,any one have English ROM for Gigabyte G-Smart, please send me it...I have one with Chinese ROM only
my email is [email protected]
thanks a lot :?
Just a little bit of info needed as I am new to all this cooking ROMS.
I am using the Core Kitchen which I have found easy when extracting a ROM and I have been using the schaps ROM as it contats the RGU files with the packages as oppose to the Black Roms which dont and I am not confident enough to be able to sort out that mess yet.
The question is in two parts and I hope you can help me a little.
Part 1: when you extract the ROM what is contained in the OS.nb file the reas on I ask is I want to get a Basic from MS ROM so I can start with my own ROM building as oppose to someone elses (VERY GOOD I MIGHT ADD) ROM.
Part 2: where can I get the RTM M$ WM6 ROM from a rom without any modifications or any added packages just the M$ PDA/PHONE ROM.
Please help this is the only two bits that im really lost with.
I have a Vario 2 on T Mobile uk
you might want to look at the FTP for vanilla wm6 roms...
the last time i checked, it was still there.
I have seen the Vanilla ROM is that the M$ RTM base OS then ???
hey guys,
can you tell me what specs you enter into duttys tool as im having problems?
thanks in advance
PDAJAS
ImateJasjam (HERMES100)
Radio: 1.20.31.10
Rom: Black IV Shadow
Olipro 2.10
Telstra AUS
Not sure im new to all this myself as you can prob tell.
Vanilla ROM has too many missig files that I cannot even find according to the tutorial with CORE an official ROM wont have any missing files schaps only has 1 which i know where to find it so can put it in the right place.
It just seems easier to want to start with a RTM official M$ rom and build on it rather than hack bits out of an already cooked rom.
the FTP?
Where is this? (it's early for me, is it in the wiki?)

Its on the Wiki i looked at Cooked Roms on the main wiki page and then it gave me a list of them that were avaliable. Vanilla was on the top of the list.
Skauk,
you can also give a look at the Dopod ROM posted here in the forum... even that its not the newes build, it has nothing added/mising; it could be a good start point.
Regards;
thankyou I will give dopod a look tonight then its so anoying that you cannot get hold of the latest builds that some of these people have so we might start without the bugs of previous builds...
if anyone knows where I can get a later build RTM that's not cooked already you would be number 1 on my xmas card list lol.
Dopod ispretty hard to work out also so anyone else help me find latest build wm6 so i can build on it ??

I would suggest you spend a little time in the upgrading section. As far as a stock windows mobile 6 rom, the problem is there aren't any yet. Although I think some upgrades may be coming along in the next few months. The roms here are pieced together from other machines or pulled from unreleased versions. I don't know of a true "stock" hermes wm6 rom at this point. You could get a WM5 rom to practice with which would show you what to expect, and what "comes with" though.
Good luck,
I have a WM6.1 beta rom that expired on my PDA, but there is no future release. Is there a hack to prevent the rom being expired?
More information like make, model of pda and rom?
I have a IPAQ 6945 with WM6.1 loaded, but the beta expired, and the person who cooked it is no longer working on it. Does anyone know how to revive the PDA to the current date?
Try that:

Thanks
Thanks for the link, I looked at the file, needs to be cooked into the rom, I need something to break the timebomb since my rom is already cooked. Anyway to disable timebomb after a cooked rom?
I am looking at some tutorials on how to cook my own WM6.1, so I can share for others who have a 69xx.
TRY THIS ONE TO EXTRACT YOUR ROM

Pls post any pictures from you hw6945 & wm6
Looks like you need to share the rom before people can look at it.
Who did you get the rom from? If you're allowed to distribute it, share it, and then others can disassemble and remove the bomb.
There are various guides for ripping from various devices, but how did you install the rom in the first place? It'd be best to distribute it as you received it, as a cooked rom, rather than a rom rip, to be sure it's a complete and usable rom.
Where is the rom expiring? Once it's booted, or pre-boot? Please post screenshots in the mean time. But again, post the rom (if you're allowed to) and we'll take it apart.

I will post some screenshots, but I am not allowed to distribute the rom, but willing to take it apart and see what I can do. So any tools will be helpful.
WM 6.1
Hi blew888,
Show pics with your HP and WM 6.1 ROM
Here are the screenshots, to my settings, everything works fine, but the year is set to 2006, if I set to 2008, timebomb occurs, even if I use activesync to sync contacts. If anyone can help me find tools to decompile and recompile a rom that I can share, I will be appreciated.
Very nice,
But now how can you share the ROM ...???
Your beta OS was canceled due to lots of issue with the processor speed
The new wm6.1 looks like this
And if you want you can make it look like this
There is a problem with someone that wants to copy his installed OS but not gave the NBF file, there are more question to be asked due to the attached pictures but It looks like a very nice joke
EREZYAD
What is your phone??
hw6915 wm5 modified with some software like shell 2 ,o2 last call plugin, WM6 today screen ,my name at bottom right is shortcut to new menu and shell and alot more nice things
but the settings screen shot is just a modifid one with photoshop ...
(less then 2 min)
Ok LOOOL
Yes, this is a really early build of 6.x. When I flash the OS, the welcome screen is all messed up, but I can set the default windows green them, looks like the WM5. I believe they tried to use the same theme, but I was able to fix the issues the theme.

No status update on this.
Dpdurst is graciously hosting all ROMS for the 4700. The link is: http://wm6.winmobile.us/hpmain.htm
This is finest and most complete collection of 4700 ROMs. For those interested in my SL61V3_lite ROM, the link is:

My best wishes to all who continue development for the 4700.

Thanks for the effort
I tried the untouched pdaviet version but had a couple issues with it, but will try your modified version.
Keyboard is back to looking presentable!!! Thanks algasystems. Hey sanjay I still have the Windows Mobile Lawn boot screen though... It looks the same as the pdaviet rom I think... I'm not gonna reflash back to check but i'm pretty sure.
I guess it's a good thing you started this thread... the vulcan was probably going to loose it any day now.
I'm using the 4700 rom editor for mods, what are you using.
Thanks for saving me the work of cleaning up the rom!!!
Later..
Chemong: I wish you good luck, but don't believe you will find my variation fixes any issues such as battery problems. This is just a cleaner version of the same rom.
MannyMania: Interesting that you are still seeing the lawn. Here's the boot screen I now see. Oh well, at least the keyboard is fixed. I don't intend to do anymore to this since it now is good enough until Kozhura returns but hopefully others will take this and improve it.
I've used Vivi's kitchen in the past, but for simple changes such as these, I just use mamaich's tools directly. I credited Chamine in earlier posts for the boot splash change tips.
Hope this works for you.
Regards.
Just flashed to HX4700 PDAVIET wm6.1 and the keyboard looks familiar to me, thanx.
Ciao
Just a note:
The first time I tried the PDAViet version, I saw the rather undesireable bootsplash. I tried re-flashing the previous WM6.0, which did not un-do the bootsplash.
I found that the only way to get the original blue and white HP bootsplash is to re-flash your device with the official WM5 upgrade. If you don't have the WM5 upgrade, I bet any of the WM2003 ROM update patches will yield the same results (just visit HP's website and search for your device to visit the downloads).

(This only applies if you want to revert back to WM6.0.)
Nice job, Sanjay! I ony had PDAVIet's version installed for a few minutes before I promptly removed it. You have solved every issue I had with their version.
what did i do wrong?
First of all, greetings and thanks to everyone who made WM6 possible on hx4700!
I noticed that my device shows only 54.33 program memory? On your screenshot it shows 100 and something. How to enable this?
Thanks!

MaffooClock:
Interesting. If people are seeing the PDAVIET splash and I'm not, your explanation may be why. When I reflashed my 4700 with the latest ROM, my previous flash may not have been undone. So thank you for the experiments.
Because of the capabilities of the 4700 (e.g. no phone), I believe this ROM can be made even leaner. I will try to repeat your steps and fix the flash the next time.
Do you think reflashing with a Kozhura WM6 ROM would accomplish the same thing? Even the thought of reverting back to the HP WM5 disaster causes me to shudder.
Regards.

I did the upgrade from PPC techs and my 4700 works fine, been over a year since they did it and no effects at all.
Also posted the new Sanjay 6.1 build to my website for those that don't want to use rapidshare.

sanjay1951,
Great work.
Does this ROM has all rgu files or you deleted them all ?
vivi
Edit : I dumped it , no rgu files.

Thank you Vivi. I've found your kitchen to be excellent as well and a great help for ROM tuning. I also read your tips including ones to remove the RGU files, but PDAVIET already had these deleted so I did not need to remove them. I still feel though that for the 4700 capabilities, there are other files that can be removed to free up more space. I will experiment more to see what I can do with this.

Sanjay

Thanks Sanjay,
rgu files are needed in using ROM Kitchen.
If no rgu files in ROM, no way to re-packages from that ROM and use ROM Kitchen.
I want to try this ROM but I also want to add my favorite programs in this ROM also.If no rgu files,then I have to manually add and edit it.
I am working with WM6.1 ROM for ASUS P525 and fixing WiFi error with no success , so no time to build Hx4700 WM6.1 from scratch.
BTW,thanks.
vivi
Someone should post the ATI drivers from the hx4700 on here.

Hi there,
I am trying to find an Official/upgrade or somewhat clean ROM For my iMate JAMin PocketC. I have searched the forums And looked at the XDA Developers wiki before it was taken down and I haven't come up with anything.
I currently use Windows Mobile 5 and it is beggining to become unstable.
iMate have pretty much discontinued support on all there phones so no help from there website.
Any help with this matter is very much appreciated.
Oh and for the people that will assume I have not googled this, Well I have.
I don't think there ever was an official wm6 upgrade for the JAMin. Other than the forum here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=363), I don't remember any other resources for it, sorry.
Thanks for the reply. The latest upgrade for it I have is:
JAMin_WWE_213923_2139123_022021_shi.
I did put a modified WM6 Rom on the phone a few months ago but due to the amount of crap that was in the rom it crashed multiple times so I gave up and went back to WM5. I have seen WM6 Rom downloads floating around on "torrent" websites but you cant be too sure whether its for a prophet.
CAn u plz guide me how can i install wm6 on my i mate jamin?? can u plz attach Rom file or link plzz m waiting or mail me at [email protected]
