WM2005 Rebuilding a working extended rom for PH20B? - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

Hello everyone who's reading,
I created this topic because i have a extended rom under wm2005 on a BlueAngel.
All the patches for wm2005 has to be installed after every "hard reset" by hand or "extended.zip" method.
I concider this a little unhandy, cince the sd card can be removed or wiped clean.
So since i have a extended rom i tried the autoexec.exe and a edited config file of my wm2003 extended rom.
But after a hard reset, it will not automatticly install the files of the rom.
According to mamaich:
if you place a file to extended ROM it would not be instaled after hardreset. WM5 on BA knows nothing about extrom.

Well maybe we can learn wm2005 something? :lol:
Who can help us hacking trough wm2005?

Hello
I have modified the original WM5 pack3 from mamaich to support extended rom and the automatic execution of the autorun.exe like in the old times when WM2003SE was running on our devices.
I recommend 8MB of Extended Rom to have enough space for all fixes recommended from mamaich and your own addons.
I will upload it to
ftp://xda-developers.com/Uploads/BlueAngel/wm5test/ba_wm_patch3.1.rar
and (if I can ) add something to the wiki.

Hope you have fun with it.

Official i-mate ROM release (1.40.176 & 1.12.00)

It's too good to believe:
ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/PDA2k_WWE_14000_176_11200.exe
I'm downloading now.
Tom
39.6MB (their server is really slow today)
From i-mate site:
The details of the new ROM image are:
For the Worldwide English Build:
ROM version: 1.40.00 WWE
ROM date: 03/10/05
Radio version: 1.12.00
Protocol version 1337.42
ExtROM version: 1.40.176 WWE
I think they waited until the pros on this site figured everything out first...then they just piggy-backed on their findings. Kudos to the real pros on XDA-devel!!!

How to install this rom in Spanish Qtek 9090, i'm new and y don't now very well to change the language.
Thank you!
imate update
I just got the update from the I-mate site and am working it with the XDA tools but I'm getting a checksum errors on the radio, NK, and MS filles. Should I be using a different tool? My device is a MDA III T-mobile german flashed to english. Any Ideas???
Downloaded, installed and running. No problems....yet. I can't find a config file in the extrom in order to make some changes, but there's a setup.exe file now. Not sure what that's about.
No idea how to change the language...I'm not good enough to know that.
More later.
Tom
So far so good. A couple issues. 1) the phone off (or flight mode on) is no longer activated by the Call End button. Shame...I loved that feature. 2) I have a problem turning the phone on (flight mode off) after a soft reset. I think it may be caused by the Contacts Button addin. The only way I can turn on the phone is to go into the keypad and then turn it on. All other methods cause the system to lockup.
Tom
Temporary copy...
Until someone puts it up on xda-developers / cooks it,
a MUCH faster loading copy is at
http://www.myehud.com/BlueAngel/PDA2k_WWE_14000_176_11200.exe
Ehud
Great!!!!!
I'm downloading it right now!!
i-mate finally released it after 1000's of unkept promises!
FINALLY!!! Here's to hoping it will be better than the Qtek version!
Again, I would like to ask why there is no config file??? I take it setup.exe has the config file built in? If any of the pros can give me some feedback as to this, I would appreciate it. I'd like to drop in several cab files incase I fubar something down the road.
Thanks,
Tom
P.S. almost 6 hours and only the "turning on the phone" problem.
yes... config is missing...
will try out some combinations .
skype is taking 3.8 megs... i don't need it there.

Ture...true. Skype was fun the first couple times, but with VOIP at home, I really don't need it anymore. Still, kind of cool to show people...if you have someone that you can connect to.
Tom
Tried some combos, including, using the old config and setup files... nothing wrorks,
only thing is that any additional file found in ext rom is treated as a carrier customization file, and on selecting one file , that particular file will be installed..
also, i noticed that there is one config file in the windows directory.
Just take the Autorun.exe and config.txt from another rom, add in the cabs from the i-mate rom, and there you go.
Yeah, I will be removing Skype ASAP myself. I can understand how it could be useful, but for my purposes, it just takes up space.
The Setup.exe is way better then the config
Leave the setup the exe it is better then the config. with the config you have to site the and write a line for each cab file. the setup.exe automatically runs every cab file in the ext rom. whether you put it there or not. So when cookinh your extended rom no need to keep having to change the config.txt. The setup will run whatevers there.
You can find this new ROM at ftp upload folder hope MDAIIIUser can move to wiki , I will upload ext.ROM by tomorrow

Do I need to keep autorun.exe ? If yes, then which one old or new?
sunish, I can not imagine why it would not work. You must have made a mistake somewhere.
The WMP10 close problem still exists, which leads me to conclude that it is indeed a problem with the 1.40 CE Rom, and not something within the Extended rom muddling it up.
Has anyone seem any actual improvements with this rom over Qtek's? All of the same problems still to be in place. The extended rom has a few different (but unimportant) cabs, but that's about it.
MarcValme, I'm not so sure I agree. One of the good things about the config.txt file is that you can specify the order in which the cabs install, which does actually make a difference in a few circumstances. Food for thought.
TheLastOne,
Don't know / Can't figure out where is the problem.
No combination is working for me.
Maybe will try it again after a day or so.
Right now, after unhiding the Ext ROM, I'm installing all the programs needed by me manually.
One thing that I noticed is the increase in speed... The performance is somewhat better now...

Another patched WM5 ROM to test

I've made another patched ROM: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Blueangel/wm5_test/ba_wm5_patch3.rar
It differs from the previous ROM in the increased disk cache size and FAT write-through mode is turned off. This potentially can cause loss of data, though in my tests everything worked fine. SPB Benchmark test shows the huge increase in file read speed on my device.
After flashing the device you don't need to do hard reset, nor you'll lose any data (except for system clock settings).
mamaich, can you please tell me what software you use to edit the ROM and maybe a link to a tutorial? I'd like to take my knowledge to the next level.
Thank You,
Alex
Currently there are no tools to make custom ROMs as were for WM2003. I use hex editor (HIEW32) and IDA (www.datarescue.com) to find places I need to patch.
Thanks. I don't think I'm going to tackle that at the moment then
mamaich,
Taking the modules from the emulator image is a smart way bcz it shares the same build, but isn't it better to use the modules dumped from the universal?at least they are final.. (so far)
Universal modules I've tested would hang. There may be 2 reasons - they are dumped incorrectly, or they are designed for VGA-screen. Himalaya 1.60 files work, but they crash often. I think that this is a problem in a dumper. It dumps XIP DLLs/EXEs from memory when they are already loaded by OS and their data sections are already initialized. This cannot be fixed.
Images from emulator are dumped with dumprom tool that produces almost correct files.
I've played a bit with Himalaya registry settings and trueffs.dll driver and made a CAB that would unhide "Extended_ROM" folder and make it fully accessible.
Use this CAB at your own risk as it is not heavily tested.
Fatastic - Will try it right now
Hi Mamaich, Great work.. I will try it at ones... I have just one question, all the patch there has been made for the other ROM will they still work with this one
As soon as I have tested the new ROM I will let you know...
Re: Fatastic - Will try it right now
all the old patches should work with this rom too.
mamaich said:
I've made another version that should work with them, and a set of CAB-files that should be used on it instead of similar cabs from this post.

The patched ROM seems to work as it should for me. It installed the MMS from ncruz without complaining.
Hi Mamaich,
Can you pls help asian user by replacing the wince.nls file so that we can have Chinese setting on the BA WM5 machine?
Thanks,
Thank you very much, Mamaich, I finally got working (particulary, but still) a program that did not work before at all.
The extended rom unlocker works; still unable to install a new splash screen. Does the ext rom need to be bigger?
Edit, how do you hide it again? thanks
Edit2; i hard reset (clear storage) and its no longer showing. Hope there will be an easier way soon. Thanks

Cingular 8125 users: 217 ROM w/ Compact Framework 2 on ftp

I've uploaded a 2.17 ROM that has .NET Compact Framework 2 integrated. The files for CF2 are in the ROM, and the necessary registry entries are created via a cab file that is part of the extended ROM. If you bypass execution of the ext ROM customizations, you won't have the necessary registry keys for CF2 to function.
I should probably repeat that: If you bypass execution of the ext ROM customizations, you won't have the necessary registry keys for CF2 to function. (nor will you have the Cingular customizations including GPRS and MMS settings).
The ROM is based on the 2.17 version that has lots 'o extra ringers and themes, and OmapClock. Makes tatertots too.
If you don't know what CF2 is and have never installed software that requires it (not much does..the most popular is probably WiFiFoFum) then there's no need to flash to this ROM. However if you do use applications that require CF2, you'll benefit from the storage space savings by having CF2 in ROM.
For first-time upgraders from stock devices, I beg of you, please, no matter what you read about successful flashes without CID unlocking, do yourself (and my inbox) a favor and CID unlock anyway. =)
The ROM is available here:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU2_WWE_RNGRS_OCLOCK_CF2.exe
I may create one based on 2.08 at some point down the road.
Thanks, and enjoy. and whatnot. and what have you. and stuff.
EDIT: fixed link since it's been moved. Not sure why it was put in a Cingular subdir of the main Cingular dir..
Sorry to be the total noob...
I installed the custom_ruu_wizard_217_aku2_cingular_wwe. (BTW, a great piece of work).
Do I need to downgrade to the stock Cingular rom before flashing this rom?

I for one would appreciate a 2.8 version of the same. Thanks for all your efforts.
Still no luck extracting the A2DP stuff and including it with the 2.17 version eh?

how to rerun customizations
is it possible to run the customization routines later (after the first reboot from RMO upgrade)? I wonder if this would work (to preserve prior settings/applications):
Backup using SPB
Install new 2.17 rom on top of old 2.17 rom
cancel customizations
install backup file (which will overwrite registry)
run new customization to add CF2 to registry
Or, can you upload the CAB with the CF2 reg entries so it can be run again later?
thanks,
jason
Summiter, I tried the 2.17 ROM with Cingular customizations, ringers, themes, and OmapClock last night. (I unlocked CID, and SIM as well just in case.) It worked great. Nice job and many thanks!

Summiter,
I removed CF2, backed up, then installed this ROM and then reloaded my back up. Did I lose my CF2 registry settings by reloading the back up of a non-CF2 system? My WiFiFoFum2 doesn't work now but I don't know how to tell if the CF2 is loaded properly.

That's what happened - you wrote over your registry with the one that no longer has the CF2 keys. When I get home in a couple hours I'll attach the cab file to my reply that will recreate them.

Cingular 8125 A2DP and DP with newest Summiter ROM
Went to Tornado Group downloaded Bluetooth files files installed them, tweaked the registry and I am running the newest ROM with A2DP. Thanks summiter for the ROM and the Tornado folks for the files.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=48491
Eureka.
PS Not the 2.8 but 2.17.
Ok,
I must be an idiot. I've downloaded the ROM and it doesn't have CF2, ringers, the extra themes, overclock, etc. I tried it earlier today - then just to make sure I pulled it down and flashed it again - no go.
Like I said, I'm probably doing something wrong, but...

CF2 cab file
Attached is the cab file to create the registry entries for CF2.
It won't help you if your flash to the CF2 ROM was not fully successful. This file is for folks who's flash was successful but have restored their registry from a backup of a non-CF2 ROM.

hi summiter,
a couple questions sir for your GREAT GREAT ROM (MUCH FASTER).
do i just click on it and it just runs at that speed? so if i click on 252 it runs at that speed forever until i click back on 200?
also, how do i know if i didn't bypass the customization?
thanks a million for a job well done.

When you click one of the links, it will set the clock to that speed until you suspend the device by pressing the power button briefly or it times out.
What I've done is map my camera button to the 252 link, so when I need an extra boost I just hit the button. It will stay overclocked until I suspend the device.
If you want it overclocked always and forever, you'll have to call OmapClock with a notification event which requires a 3rd party app to set up. Read through the OmapClock threads to find out more.
I like the having it rest to stock speed on suspend since it conserves battery by only being overclocked when needed.

Yep - the customizations run after you get past the alignment stuff. It's the part where you are locked out of your device while a perdy progress bar takes its sweet ass time as it installs countless cab files.
If you were so inclined, you can bypass customization by pressing the soft reset button as soon as the poorly worded notification pops up saying "It will now customize....". I don't recommend that.
WiFiFoFum working?
Has anyone successfully run WiFiFoFum with this ROM? I had a seemingly successful flash (I had the long wait for installation after the alignment on the first boot). Everything seems to work except WiFiFoFum. I haven't tried anything else that requires CF2 yet, but WiFiFoFum gives me an error:
Code:
This application (WiFiFoFum.exe) requires a newer version of the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework than the version installed on this device.
When I click "Details" I get:
Code:
WiFiFoFum.exe
InvalidProgramException
I even installed the cab file provided above to make sure the registry was right.
Essentially I'd like to know if this is known to work okay so I'll know that I should try flashing it again.

P.S. Thanks for all of the work summiter - I don't think I could have done this myself...

Appears as though the flash didn't take. If you execute cgacutil.exe in the Windows directory, what CF versions are reported?
What ROM did you have prior to this one?

Access to cabs in Extended ROM?

I just upgraded to the beta T-Mobile 2.24 ROM. I upgraded from the custom 2.17 by xelencin. I avoided the tmo customizations from installing but have a couple of questions. Is there a way to extract the custom cabs from xelencin's ROM (i.e. the Tmo Network Customizations) that get installed in the Extended ROM or is this something I would have had to do prior to upgrading. If not, is there at least a place I can locate the Certification_Disable.cab separately?
I have a feeling that the answer is that I would have needed to somehow extract them from my MDA in the Extended ROM prior to the upgrade. If so, I am not opposed to going back to the 2.17 or even his new 2.21 ROM but can someone point me on how I can access the Extended ROM to get the cabs if I install his custom ROM?

The quickest way for you to get at the cabs would be to install Total Commander (free file manager..search for it via Goooooogle) on your device. Then type "\Extended_Rom" in the path bar at the top. Don't do anything with the files you see there other than copy them to a folder somewhere else on your device. If you try to delete or otherwise modify them you will corrupt you extended ROM (not a big deal, but you'll have to soft reset to fix). Once the files are copied elsewhere you can have your way with 'em.
Something I've never understood is installing a ROM clean without the Ext_ROM cabs....from reading through the posts, it looks like the cabs can be installed later, but will those cabs go into program memory instead of the locked/hidden extended ROM? Wouldn't I be better off letting the Ext_ROM do its thing so I don't waste precious program memory?
Is there any way to uninstall a cab from teh Ext_ROM without a hard-reset? I know deleting files out of the Ext_ROM corrupts it, but these progs don't show up under "Remove Programs", so I'm thinking I'm stuck with them. Guess what I need to do is create my own Ext_ROM without the cabs I don't want?
I think I hit my question limit for one post, so I'll end it now...

There's a bit of a misconception regarding extended ROM. Most of the cab files there only set registry and provisioning settings. Very few actually install anything to the device. Extended ROM is about 10 megs in size. Whether it's full or not has no impact on your useabable space.

I would also be very interested in this. I have a Wizard that has the T-Mobile 2.26 ExtROM, which, needless to say, does not have this file. I don't really want to reflash the ExtROM just for this file. Could someone post it or point me to a place that has it?
Thanks!

best way to add files to the ext rom without corrupting your ext rom is this..
Make your own with the files you want, then flash that ext rom... To learn how to do this you better start reading the millions of threads on here
Found what I wanted...
Well, I seem to have solved my own problem. The Certification_Disable.cab file seems to be the same exact thing as Cert_SPCS.cab, which I found through Google. Even if the files are not exactly the same, Cert_SPCS.cab has the desired effect: it removes the prompting when installing unsigned applications.
Since I bet other people need this file too, I am attaching it here (remove the .zip). I am not positive about the origin of this file, but it sounds like it was included in the ExtROM of the Sprint PPC6700 (Apache).

problem with Helmi's vanilla rom

Hallo,
I downloaded the vanilla version of Helmi's rom (THANKS Helmi!) and am trying to install it on my BA.
when I run the createrom.bat file, at a certain point there is a line that says,
Make sure that the free sectors is at least 1 (0001) or ROM will never work
of course I build the rom, I install it and it does not work. it just stuck at the 4 colored stripes at the beginning.
now I suppose the problem lies in this free sector, but I can't seem to understand how should I work around it... any help pls?
I never had any problem so far with any rom installed
thanks!
Strange...i've downloaded the same version from FTP and nk.nbf already was here,so no need to run createrom.bat!
mmm I downloaded this file
Helmi_BA_AKU3.5_Kitchen__R0
from the ftp site, it's a 50 mb file with all the folders like OS, LOC, ROM, OEM...
and, there is no nk.nbf file so you have to build it by yourself. I just d/loaded this file because I want a completely clean (well, as much as possible) rom, in fact I also deleted most of the OEM programs...
and I got stuck
you downloaded helmi_c's AKU 3.5 vanilla rom kitchen.
I had similar problem when i tried to add packages.
i didn't have time to look into the problem, i just re-cooked the ROM as it is (plain vanilla) & it worked!
may i suggest you try cooking as it is, if it works try to remove/add packages. this just to find out that you have a working rom kitchen.
I will try this, thanks.
hope it works!
