Upgrade Helmi rom ver. 1.2 to 1.3 - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

Hey guys!
My question is how to upgrade from Hemli v.1.2 to 1.3 if I´m not able to see \storage folder, where I normaly put the Extrom folder (including cab.files).
I can only see the virutal drive named \RAMDISK.
Can anyone help me?

extrom folder should be on Storage Card, if you do not have one then you can flash the rom, and later to copy extrom folder to your device and run autorun.exe manually

Help on I-Mate Arabic Ext Rom 131112 WWE

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).
reply to bebbo
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.
reply to Bebbo
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

You should be able to rename the the file.
So open file explorer and go to the /windows/ folder. Their you should be able to find the file, tap and hold on the the file, you should get an option to rename the file, rename the file by adding a .old to the name.
quit the cab installer program and then re-run the the cab file, you will get this error on a number of files, just locate the file and add .old to each new file. Exit the cab installer and re-run it till it completes.

Rom DUMP; Portuguese Qtek 1.40_142_1.12.00 (Edit)

Hi all.
Because in Portugal, garanty of devices are made by the rom they had when are bought, have dumped a rom from a 9090, bought in 8/6/2005.
Made a dumped rom with the instructions taken from wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel
Will upload to FTP as ROM_9090_WWE_portuguese.
Devices says:
ROM Version 1.40.00 WWE
rom date: 03/10/05
radion version: 1.12.00
protocol version: 1337.42
extrom version: 1.40.148
Hope MDAIII will update wiki, cause there are some carrier cabs from TMN.
Moved file from uploads
Renamed File
Renamed thread
Opened New Dumped Rom page on wiki
Linked file
File can now be found under:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/DUMP_QTEK_14000_148_12000_portuguese.rar
Hi there,
I'm a newbie to the forum and I've seen this ROM update to portuguese language.
I've been to the wiki blueangel forum but couldn't find anything to assist me in the update procedure, because the decompressed rar file show only one file named "XDAIIs.nb1" and no other kind of software to transfer it to the Qtek 9090.
Does the file needs to be changed into another type, or can it be splitted ?
Thanks is advance.
Best regards.
Did you think of reading the instruction on wiki that are in the link of the first post.

Can't over-write BTWizardProfiles.dll to enable ext modem

Hi, I put the I-Mate 1.40 WWE on my XDA IIs they other day. I'm just trying to over-write the BTWizardprofiles.dll file to allow my PDA to use an external modem. I have found that all the dll files in the windows folder are write protected and hidden! Anybody got any ideas on how to over-write this file. I tried removing the BT tray link from my startup folder, just incase the file was in use.
ROM 1.40.00 WWE ( the latest Imate rom from the FTP site)
ROM Date 03/10/05
Radio 1.13.00
ExtRom 1.40.176 WWE
Just to add a bit more....
I've done some reading and mucked about with un-hiding the extended rom. This is not the same thing. The files that are locked are the dll files in the windows directory, specificly the blutooth dlls that you over-write with a different version that allows you to use external bluetooth modems.
Try grabbing a demo copy of Resco Explorer -- it'll let you change the R/O & hidden properties on any non-ROM file.
Thanks, I tried that. It says the file is a rom file amd won't let me delete it. I found a different way of doing it. I down loaded a cab from www dot azukla dot com slash bt3900dun.bat
So, Im still trying to work out why, with o2, everything works but with 1.40 pda2k software, the windows dlls are marked as rom files

Recovering Extended ROM

I was playing with the Disk on Chip resize utility because I am contemplating upgrading to WM2K5 now it is available. I used the Disk on Chip resizing utility to resize my extended ROM to 10Mb from its default, but I didn't check that I had got a good backup of all the CABs, so now when I unhide my extROM, I see an empty folder. I thought I hadn't unlocked it, but when I try to unlock it, I get
ERROR: FL_IOCTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION - A device attached to the system is not functioning
I can however write to my extROM folder
I could just resize extROM back to 16Mb & reflash (I'm using imate 1.40.176), but I'd like to learn something from my mistakes & hopefully just put back the CABs into the extROM. The problem is I don't have the CABs, just the nbf files. How can I extract CAB files from NBFs?
OK, I'm stupid :roll:
I shoulda just looked on the wiki in the extended ROM kitchen, downloaded the RAR file of the appropriate ROM, unpacked it, copied the files into the extended_ROM folder on my BA & tested using a hard reset
Oh yeah, that's just what I did - it worked fine & I now have my extROM sized to fit what I need rather than the default. Apart from saving empty space, I removed skype from the extROM; I can't see the point of having it when I already have a perfectly good phone :wink:
