ERK: I'm confused...

Sorry to come up with such a post, but after reading all the how-to's and tons of posts I'm still missing something about the ERK's.
1) For example, in order to install ERK_1.3X_004, do I have to install the ship (Xda_IIs_v131139_upgrade.exe) and then go on manually copying the Extended Rom (O2_UK_XDAIIS_Ext_ROM_131139_WWE )? Would this come out to be a full ERK_1.3X_004? From my tests it doesn't seem...
2) I downloaded the content of the Extended_ROM_Kitchen_1_3X from the ftp. Should I add those files to the Extended ROM? If yes, is there a config.txt availabe somewhere or do I have to write it myself?
3) Or put more simply, can someone explain in few steps (and very few words) the process for upgrading my QTEK9090 to ERK_1.3X_004? I'm a newbie, but I know how to unlock the Extended_ROM and how to use xda3nbftool.
I know it's boring to answer such questions, but I don't find the procedure anywhere (also in Wiki). Thanks a lot

In as few words as possible
1) In order to install ANY extneded roms
- Download the rar
- Extract the files (onto your devce)
- Run the ones you want to (with tap on cab file out of file manger)
2) In order to make any extrom changed permant
- place the files in the ext rom folder
- edit the config.txt with that name

XDA IIs ROM Cooking

Hi,
I've read through the WiKi on the extended ROM on the blue angel, and i think i have a basic understanding of how it works now.
I have several CAB files (Microsoft .NET framework CAB files, and some of my own). Would i be right in saying that to put these into my Extened ROM all i have to do is...
- Unlock The Extended ROM folder on my blue angel
- Paste in the CAB files
- Edit the config file to add my CAB files to the execute list.
- ReLock Extended ROM
Would that work? If i were to create this extended ROM arranngement would it be possible to install it on several XDA IIs so that they would always automatically reinstall my program upon a hard reset? I was also wondering if it would be possible to customise things like the splash screen, menus, and hardware button settings within the Extended ROM?
I hope that wasnt to much of a long question!! Any ideas or thoughts would be great!
Many Thanks
James.

but also remember there is a limitation on the rom max of file size is 16MB.
happy cooking

TMO Extended Rom CAB List

Can someone point me to a link of the TMO extended rom cab file list with descriptions for each. i searched i swear
Also, If I updated my rom and wanted to load all these cabs back on to the device can i just copy the whole backup folder to /windows/ and then the autorun will run it on reset?
thanks

search better . . .its on the wiki

the one in the wiki is dutch, is there a USA one?
what about the second part?

1. I know its based on dutch tmo rom, but most of the US cabs are much alike (based on their name)
2. autorun makes use of a registry setting (dont know out of my head, but plz do another search on config.txt and autorun) to load the correct config.txt file.
If you change that you canb use your backup and install from there.

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?

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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.

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.

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!

How to connect to FTP http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_FTP_Site
The file is called "xda-developers_Unlocker.CAB" But you know it since those links you were talking about are referring to this file...
Just for sure - navigate to /BlueAngel/Tools/

EXTROM tool
Here you go... Take note that it should work for WM05 AKU3.2 and before. Will not work for WM05 AKU 3.5... You will need to copy the file into the BA and install from there...
