Hello I just ungraded to the I mate arabic 1.31 rom with radio 1.06.02. my question is in the extended rom there is no config.txt file? using the instruction under the Cooking in the Extended Rom Kitichen thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=16137
I cant seem to find how to edit the config txt file to allow the ZIP_WWW.cab to be installed and the editing config to say the following
Instructions:
Place the ZIP_WWE.CAB in your Extended Rom
in the \Extended_ROM\Config.sys add the following line
Quote:
CAB: \Extended_ROM\ZIP_WWE.CAB
I Would Like to get shot of the arabic stuff
I-Mate PDA2K (PH20B)
Rom 1.31.00 WWE
Radio 1.06.02
Protocol 1337,38
ExtROM 1.31.122 WWE
Ok 2 things,
1 you need the extended rom unlock util which will allow you to see and edit items in the hidden extended rom folder on your pda.
2 dont bother with the ZIP program, get pocket rar, its freeware and works much better. You can install cabs from within rar or zip files without needing to extract them to the file system first etc.
PS: You can copy the config.txt to your pc to edit, or edit with pocket word of similar.

I have unlocked my extended rom and can extract the contents. In the unlocked extended rom there in no config.txt file?.
Would it be possible to just replace the ms_.nbf file that contains the extended rom with another extrom, just like I replaced the Radio file then use the fix.bat
Many thanks
The newer ROMs do not use a config.txt they run a setup.exe program called from a modified version of autorun.exe instead.
You can use the old config.txt file by replacing the autorun.exe from an older rom and creating your own config.txt (you can also then delete the unneeded setup.exe file).

ok so correct me if Im wrong, you unlock your extended rom delete TPEnable.exe, TPDisable and setup then hard reboot. unlock extrom again then replace old for new, new having autorun.exe and config.txt?
Many Thanks
I usually do the upgradein this order:
1) Copy the ext rom unlock tool to PDA - run it and then run unhide + unlock ext rom.
2) Soft reset to unhide ext rom.
3) Make a full backup of current ext rom to PC!
4) Create my own ext rom by adding / removing apps as necessary to ext rom as cab files and modifying config.txt.
5) Hard reset PDA to install new apps and clean copy of Pocket PC.
Note:
As mentioned before, if you do not have a config.txt then you will need to replace autorun.exe with one from a pre v1.31 ext rom, create your own config.txt (Use one from ftp server as a base) and you can delete the setup.exe prog as it will not be used.
I have left the TPEnable and TPDisable on the ext rom but have removed their entries from the config.txt file so that the screen is not disabled.

Thanks Bebbo
Your advice worked. I used config.txt and autorun.exe from extended rom Imate 1.22.162 now I have extrom without arab stuff
Many Thanks
Windows Mobile Version 4.21.1088 (Build 14132)

ROM Date 12/13/04
Radio Version 1.06.02
Protocol 1337.38
ExtROM Version 1.31.124 WWE (Cooked)
I have succesfully updated my PDA2k from the standard ITalian ROM to the one in my signature
I'm very happy and I would like to thanks All for the support
Now I would like to cook my first Extended ROM and I have a very simple question but, I have not been able to find the answen in the wiki
The Extende ROM I have now doesn't contains the Config.txt file but the Setup.exe.
During the cooking process. Should I take out the .exe file and substitute it with my oun Confing.txt?
Thanks
Asmodeo :twisted:
There is a rason for that.
In some roms that have gone through the kitchen 1.3x we have noticed that the autorun, config.txt has been subsitutted by a new methord setup.exe.

What you need to do is downlaod an old version Ext rom which has the autorun, confix txt.
Extract those files 2 files, delete the setup.exe and add the autorun, config txt to your ext rom (oh yes and dont forget to edit the config.txt)
The one I use is in the imate 1.22 162 and found on wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_ERK_Available_Ext_Roms

How to fine the file in the PPC? I have German Rom, but I cannot not find it!
Hi, Loe, I cannot copy out the copy, also cannot delete the file as well. in German rom, the file is 40.5K, so do you know how can we replace the file in my WWE rom, by the way the WWE rom file is 39.5K.
I wrote a guide on how to back up a rom to an nbh here and was wondering how I can modify my rom before i cook it (i have extracted the contents) - i basically just want to modify some reg settings move some files create shortcuts and install some cabs - how can i do this?
Thanks in advance,
Kris
