Post Exteneded Rom Links Here.

We have lost the exteneded roms again.
This is the 2nd time that I know of.
I think this has to do with the fact that they were not linked to post thus unkonw files get killed. I read that some were when I first came here.
I have most of them and will start uploading them again, linking them to a post.
Anybody have a better idea or know why they have gone?

Not sure whether they've been deleted or not, unless you have been reposting. They are under BlueAngel_Roms instead of Extended_Roms. Things seem to keep getting moved.

And what are they doing there ?
Sure I have been uploading to ExtenedRoms for over an hour now.
I will move the buggers!
Rename The Folder Exteneded_Roms
Clean up the file names
Gee I love house work thought I was would be cooking in the Rom Kitchen, but no.
We are going to have to post the links as they got killed once before.
Thought you were out.

Can you belive this!
Got a folder name that says "Dont touch MDAIIIUser Uploading" and we have dowloades.
You around need so help.

ok done
cleaned up the Exteneded_Roms
Will post in the morning.
We need to take these apart and find what version they are then rename them.

Do you need some assistance with the Excel sheet for ROM Versions and contained cab files?
Is there a neater way of structuring the ftp server directories? Is there any way of setting folder permissions on the server for read/write only and not alter/delete?

Do I need help in the Exteneded Rom Kitchen. Does the .... (ok no bad jokes)
Sure do BIG Time!!! Its not my kitchen, I just work there!
The Idea of the Kitchen is not realy to find out what version number Orange Rom A has for an application but to see if Orange's Rom A has application / Patches that are better than our base.
The Sheet just is a list of the files which go:
Base (I-mate) + Rom A + Rom B = Extended Rom Kitchen (ERK) Rom
My end goal is to generate a ERK Rom Version which is as upto date as possible.
And have this info on wiki so we dont need to hunt for it.
How far am I, Well The UK orange rom has been looked at but info not posted in the kitchen.
( I think RTP worked on that but I am not sure as I was haveing PMs with few people about that rom. )
We have the 3 roms above that need to be looked and info posted in the Kitchen and added to the Excel Sheet.
The Excel Sheet needs to be made to look nice so the rest of us can undersatand it.
We need to check against the "List of know Blue angels" to see what rom is missing and see if we can find it.
Oh yes and its friday, I get to pick my kids as its "The 3rd weekend of every month" and as my ex-wife has got a date, thus By 12:00.
Chances of me doing much till monday are ZERO.
So you want a job, pay is s**t, hours are bad, it can get hot in the kitchen when there is a fire and you lose all your stuff.
You need to understand Roms, read cab files, use your brain and most of all admit to the fact that you don't know everything and thus ask.
I am looking for Pastry Chef as well. One that can write applications.
Is there any way of setting folder permissions on the server for read/write only and not alter/delete?

Given that at the moment we are all the user XDA, I would say no.
What we need is a "BA_Admin" that revokes the rights of XDA to Read only, then we just get into the next problem, the person that posted (XDA) can't update it, so he needs to be BA_Admin...
The FTP site is a public place and like Toilets some people just can't pee in the Pot like the rest of us and sonebody has to clean up the mess.
Is there a neater way of structuring the ftp server directories?

Got some ideas, then share them with us.

Will have a look at dir structure but seems reasonable to me at the moment (Though Extended is the correct spelling ). Will use my WinCE CAB Manager to see what if anything is different on rom's you haven't had chance to view yet and generally assist where I can.
I will have a look at the orange rom as well, time permitting.
Would it be better to extract the .nbf files to sub dirs under the Extended_ROMS dir and have similar structure for radio and CE ROM?
ie ->
BlueAngel/Extended_Roms/Imate_PDA2k_WWE_12200_162_10600_SHIP/ms_.nbf
(With cabs extracted as well under a cabs sub dir?)
BlueAngel/CE_Roms/Imate_PDA2k_WWE_12200_162_10600_SHIP/nk.nbf
BlueAngel/Radio_Roms/Imate_PDA2k_WWE_12200_162_10600_SHIP/radio_.nbf
Or leave as is and use the kitchen with a CAB's dir under it with all known versions of cab files so we can select the most appropriate ones?

I've posted the document on the Orange 1.12.139 ROM into the Kitchen. It's fairly large since there is so much in the Orange ROM.
Here's a link:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_1_22/Docs/Orange_WWE_1.12.139_ExtROM.doc

Unfortunately nothing really new though (Wish I had known you were doing this rom - just wasted 2 hours!).
I haven't looked at the WModem.exe update yet - any ideas what this is for?
Who keeps moving files in the BlueAngel section of the FTP server? Makes life difficult having to keep searching each time. Please let us all know what you are trying to achieve as it keeps breaking links on other web pages!

Running it comes up with this text:
The utility will simulate this device as a wireless modem, and let your PC/Notebook be connected to network wirelessly.
Before you press the 'Start' button, please make sure you have connected the device to your PC/Notebook by serial or IrDA connection and disabled the Activesync.
When the wireless modem is activated you will not be able to receive any voice calls.

Click to collapse
It then gives options for Serial, IrDA, USB and Bluetooth. Start, Stop and View Log buttons. Plus connection status LEDs - Connection, Send Data and Receive Data.
I've never tried it. I tend to use something more direct for dialup from my laptop.

OK guys!!!
I don't know what your naming system is but I've uploaded the O2 UK EXT ROM and I've called it "O2_UK_XDAIIs_Ext_ROM_112178_WWE.zip". This one is the original from my device.

They aren't .nbf files???????? They are zipped up (rar'd up) cab files extracted from the extended roms.
+*+*+*+ FOR INFO +*+*+*+
The xda3nbftool has an extra command line option of -t which attempts to discover the xor key used to encrypt the .nbf files. This seems to work well for all files except the radio_.nbf file which causes it problems. Try it on roms that you are having problems with to see if it is the correct key. You can check the resulting .nba file with a hex editor to ensure the PH20B and other data is shown at the beginning of the .nba file.
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
I have pulled the above ext roms apart and the version numbers are as follows:
IIs Asia WWE Ext ROM.zip = Version "1.12.925 WWE"
Seimens_SX66_Ext_ROM_ENG.zip = Version "1.20.115 WWE"
T-Mobile_MDAIII_Extended_Rom_Inc_DeviceInfo.zip = Version "1.06.117 WWE"
Files renamed appropriately so any links will now be broken (plus the fact that some kindly person has renamed the Extended ROM directory to its correct spelling!)

Cooked 1.31 & 1.33 ROMs with Media Player 10

Last edited 5.04.2005
Imate has released a 2.03 update for their EVDO phone. Its ROM contains WMP10, and fortunately all XIP regions are located at the same addresses as in normal PDA2K device. So it was possible to paste them into Imate PocketPC 1.31 ROM and Siemens SX66 1.33 ROM.
My update is uploaded to ftp://[email protected]/Uploads/Blueangel/ba_1.31.51_with_wmp10_cooked_by_mamaich.rar
Or it may be relocated to other directories.
I've made another update based on 1.33.10 Siemens SX66 ROM. It has a bit newer kernel, but the camera application is absent and you may have problems with sound volume (fix is attached). The archive contains CAB file with 2.21 build 17084 camera app. Link - ftp://[email protected]/Uploads/Blueangel/ba_1.33.51_with_wmp10_cooked_by_mamaich_final.rar
Both updates can be used, but I use the second.
Known bugs:
1. Double GPRS icon on taskbar when the phone finds a network. The second icon disappears after some seconds.
2. If you restore from backup after installing this update WMP10 will lose all its skins and will stop to understand audio formats.
This ROM is only for BlueAngel devices.
Note. On my device with 1.33.51 ROM sometimes audio volume becomes too low. This can be fixed by extracting the attached wavedev.dll to \Windows folder on your device.
Another note. If someone downloaded the wavedev.dll before 3.04.2005 you should update the DLL to the new one. Attached DLL now supports speakerphone functionality. To update file go to \Windows directory on your device, rename "wavedev.dll" to "wavedev.bak", extract the attached archive to \Windows directory and reboot. After reboot you may delete "wavedev.bak". Renaming cannot be done with built-in explorer, you should use Total Commander or similar program which can display file extensions.
Khashim has made a CAB file that updates wavedev.dll to the working version. It can be placed into extended ROM.
I've also attached wavedev_wlan.cab that updates both wavedev.dll and wlan_service.dll so that unnecessary black "W" and "G" icons don't appear when the phone finds GPRS o WiFi network. So you would not get double GPRS or WiFi icons. I recommend installing this CAB file instead of other attached files.

So I guess it is not possible to extract the WMP10 as cab file.....
Also, if it is possible, the existing WMP9 can't be removed....
Thanks.

As i write several times before. XIP DLLs cannot be extracted.

the link don't work

i got wmp 10 on my mdaIII
here are images of media player 10 running on my mdaIII
[/img]

It does work, nice job.
I have noticed the icon problem, and have found one other bug. It seems that WMP 10 will not play wma files. (It won't play the ring tone files in my Windows Directory, I just get a little bit of crackling)
Otherwise, bravo.

MAMAICH... WE LOVE YOU
now waiting for the final version!!!

mp 10
i can't get the link to work. has anyone been able to get it today?

Care to explain how?

hi
this wmp 10 doesnt seem to run wma??? it stutters for a while then stops
what gives???/

aswell as wmv files!!!!
although mp3s are played well

Yes, as I noted before in my above post, I experience the same thing.
Right now, I'm interested in fixing the wrong icon when the PPC is connected, but I can't for the life of me find where the connectivity icons are stored.

deleted useless post

Uhh, I'm pretty sure LAN works fine.
Does your lack of response mean you have not yet found a way to fix the incorrect icon bug?

I've uploaded the updated ROM and edited the first post.
This ROM seems to be rather stable, WiFi works. The only bug I've seen is that sometimes the GPRS icon on taskbar doubles itself for several seconds.
And I don't recommend restoring your device from backup after installing this update. This will cause problems.

Sorry to ask if you can "backtrack," but version 1.33.10 (Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition 4.21.1088 build 15005) from the Siemens upgrade is working so much better than 1.31.00 (Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition 4.21.1088 build 14132). As you've already noticed, the Camera applet seems to be the only major thing missing from this ROM, while they've corrected connectivity issues (voicemail notification, etc).
Any chance you could try to combine the WMP10/Harrier code with this build of WM2K3SE? I'm taking a wild guess, but the Harrier code has an equal or newer build number than the 1.31 OS? Perhaps the closer the builds, the better the transition?

2 BeyondtheTech.
I'll try to combine Siemens ROM with Harrier when I'll have time. Maybe we'll get a more stable OS. But on my device I've got very low sound volume with that ROM.

I've created a ROM image based on Siemens 1.33 update. I have not flashed it to my device. It may work, or may not, or may even cause your device to be unbootable. Use it at your own risk. File is named "ba_1.33.50_with_wmp10_cooked_by_mamaich_untested.rar .rar" and is located in the same directory. This is an incomplete update,some parts are still from 1.31 ROM. I'll fix this when I'll have time.

what is the login and the passqord please

missing links.. just an error or did someone trash the site again????
please upload again
tahnks

CAB files from (home cooked) Extended Rom do not install?

I made my own Extended Rom with a few CAB files I created, but when I do a hard-reset and let the Customization Tools do their job it looks like none of the CAB files is installed?
I'm sure my Extended Rom is build correct (I used Faria's how-to for it), but it looks like the Registry changes that's in my CAB files are not kept in the Registry because after installing the Extended Rom it resets immediately. Can this be true? Or do I need to hardcode the installpaths in my CAB files maybe?
Regards,
Molski

Already found the answer.
I added the Default_Signed_Disable_Security.CAB to the Extended Rom (as 1st file to install) and after that it worked.
Actually very logic, my CABS were not installed because they're not signed so had to disable that security first.

thats correct my friend.sorry a did not post sooner.
as for custom registry settings if u put them into a cab file, make sure it is the last file to be installed in the extendedrom setup.
regards; faria

Hay Faria,
It doesn't matter that you didn't post a reply sooner, look at the time difference between my question and my answer, it is not even a hour after each other
But why do I have to do the Registry cabs at last in the Extended Rom? Because a few files I use got Registry changes in it.
Regards,
Molski

hi
i meant registry hacks like perrfomance tweaks etc,not the ones in the programs that u are going to install.
reason?
i find out that some programs have a habit of modefing registry keys specially the ones homemade ,so if you install such cab file it is best to leave last.

cab file
Hello guys,
I started playing with my k-jam and i have to admit i'm really happy with your advises. I'm facing the same problem now, the cab files in my "cooked" ExtROM don't install. I belive i need that cab file to disable the certificate security. Could you tell me from where to get it?
Thanx a lot!

Automated Settings

People; how can make a cab that automatically makes the settings for GPRS, MMS, WAP etc.? Every time I upgrade my pda2k to a new GREAT ROM, I have to make these settings manually. And as you know, GREAT developers on this site works hard and provide us with the latest unofficial ROMs in a short time.
PS: I'm not a programmer, so telling me only 'use a cab manager' won't be enough...

The helmi roms already have this, look for the "operator" cab files.

My operator isn't in the list. So I need to prepare a cab file by myself...

This should help give you an idea of what you're looking for;
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_PersonalCAB
When I did the Orange UK cabs I basically extracted the settings from the cabs that came in the original WM2003 ExtROM (that my phone came with). Then I created new cabs using WinCE Cab Manager by copying the ones Helmi shipped with his ROM and replacing the settings with the extracted Orange ones.
I have attached the relevant files I used, you could possibly hand edit these and then make cabs yourself if you can't find the settings shipped with your phone.

Thanks, I will try this.

Finally able to extract imgfs and xip from Stock Rom

For everyone who has an LG Quantum, I was finally able to extract the xip and imgfs from the stock rom and see what the insides look like. To do it, I modified the lgextract program, which was written for the LG KS20, whose rom image is similar in format to the quantum's. I will post my version of lgextract either later today or tomorrow for your amusement. From there, you can use the latest version of the htc rom editor to get the imgfs.bin and xip.bin. As of now, there is no way to piece it all back together for flashing, so custom roms are, unfortunately, not possible yet. The only annoyance (you could also call it a bug if you wanted to), is that you have to remove the rom header manually with a hex editor to make it work with the htc rom editor (but I am currently working on a version to do it automatically).
On another note, I did find out that the manufacturer program can read and write to the registry, so I could also write a program to view and edit the registry if there is enough need as to do registry editing on the quantum.
Update: I have fixed the program to do all the extraction automatically so you can automatically just open up the nb file in the HTC Rom Image Editor and see what goods are inside. However, there's still no way to create custom roms yet. As for the registry editor, I can't do anything until I get back in school and I have a chance to talk to the CS department at school about getting my quantum developer unlocked via Microsoft Dreamspark.

You can use the dz file found in one of the other LG Quantum threads here with the program. If you have any questions, feel free to post or pm me.

--reserved--

Very nice! Just a question, is this similar to using a hex editor to edit the seed files from the old razr phones? Or a registry editer like wm6.5? Just wondering.

can you update system files in anyway or read and wright or deleat registry edits?
I have a custom rom but I don't see what good it will do. if the bootloader is not unlocked.
might be able to copy parts of it over to the device but am unsure. can you sideload anything?:cyclops:
