i did install the new rom..it does say a new name before installation and shows imate k-jam visual..on installation my device became extremely fast like a rocket in space without garvity :lol:
i have done all sorts of changes on my external rom before as mentioned in most of the forums and did get to remove the antivirus software from my previous version..but overall i still did never get the speed as my other pocket pc devices..thought it was the operating system..
Post new rom installation i checked for my extended rom to see that there was no skype or the anti virus software there anymore...means they have understood that these two were creating the problem...WOW...i am toooo happy now with the speed...yes i did hard reset it once more by adding the certifcate cab file so that i dont keep getting the sertificate notification and added commander as default installation...
MY K-JAM ROCKS NOW...OFCOURSE WITHOUT SKYPE
SORRY DEVELOPERS...I WAS CONFUSED...I WAS WRONG..THE NEW ROM IS JUST THE SAME ROM WITH CHANGES ON THE EXTENDED ROM BRINGING SKYPE AND ANTIVIRUS OUT IN ADD REMOVE PROGRAMMES...WHAT A DISASTER...WELL WAITING FOR THE NEW ROM RELEASING IN JAN WITH PUSH MAIL ,A2DP PROFILE AND A FIX ON PROBABLY EVERYTHING....FOR NOW JUMPING TO GET THE O2 ATOM ON THE 7TH OF DECEMBER
the rom is the same and it does not alter the extended rom.
Quick question, and a dead giveaway - did you delete Skype from your ROM before you installed this new firmware upgrade?
I really customized my Extended ROM, with a splash screen and different CABs, and when I flashed with this firmware upgrade, my Extended ROM remained UNTOUCHED.
Hey BTT how did you change your splash screen? Oh, and i love your new raffle I am in budy cross your fingers for me. Ill do it tomorrow I have to charge my paypall account.
i did what u did
i did change my extended rom as per your (BTT)directions...i even got a new picture of my company there..i did try both skype versions(1.1(non xscale version)and 1.2) in the extended rom with the config.txt changed...i did too many more things there as it was fun but nothing great happened with skype as it never worked but the first time....i finally just thought of trying the shipped rom from clubimate to get back all the way it was before so that i could redo everything...to my surprise after a complete flashing of the device there is no antivirus and the skype in the new extended rom anymore and also the speed is toooooooo god damn fast...believe me but its true...try again...i did chk the download a couple of days back when u wrote of it being the same and i think they have put another one just recently with these 2 files deleted....the shipped rom size now is 55mb...
i am too happy with this setup now as i just added your certify cab file too the extended rom and rebooted...its running at the best speed i have ever witnessed on a pocket pc...
What he meant was that unlike the magician and other previouse htc devices when you flash a new rom it doesnt change your extended rom so if you deleated any of the software from the extended rom it will still be gone. it wont reload the extended rom just the rom
That is exactly what I meant.
At last, do you think that upgrading helps to speed up the device?
consider that i have deleted from extended rom the antivirus.
Thanks
The very nature of assessing this is flawed due to the subjective component of the results. Having done this myself it is my opinion that this rom update is the equivalent of a hard reset. As the clubimate website indicates, the rom is a copy of the rom that shipped with the device.
...as I tought!
Thanks for the confirmation.
Bye
I did it and have had more problems since, dont do it....
if u say you had a problem by loading the clubimate rom means there is some change..though i am not a developer here like some of you guys on this forum but for sure there is a lot of change...also need clarification that if u say the new rom does not flush extended rom then how do i get the setup file back there(old extended rom had no setup file but the config.txt file)...i seriously have started feeling like doing this process again...but no i am way too happy now so i will stick with all my settings..
if you deleated your extended ro m or anything in it and didnt save it, then its gone forever... unless you find someone else who saved it and will give it to you. the settup file is on the ftp site here in the universal folder.
sorry chief...what I meant by saying what I said above is that I had deleted the setup file as I was using some other auto file with combinattion of modified config.txt.and yes it also had the skype file as default in it...and loads of other things like ring tones and alarms etc...(before making changes to the extended rom...I had backed up everythin on my computer so I am not bothered of the setup file
But after the rom upgrade what I saw is everything changed on the extended rom with the setup file back there...
just for my own sattisfaction now I am doing this all over again...

Being in Portugal I don't need tmobile mms and gprs settings. In one wrod: I don't want T-Mobile ext.Rom. I have already installed the Qtek 1.6.7 Rom. The splash screen is T-Mobile (?) but OS rom is Qtek and extended rom is T-Mobile.
Do you know any way to simply don't let the MDA vario install the extended rom?
Thank you
yes i know one! just delete the Extended ROM files wich you dont need! first install the tools that make it visible and then read in other threads wich cab data is for what! you can stop configuring the default settings and installing the T-Mobile progs by softresetting after Hardreseting when appears a window "configuring Settings in 3 sec." or so!? just soft reset and then install the requiered .cab files of the Extended ROM you wish to have installed! But better read through the other threads if you need detailed informatoins how to do this!! (the thread is hmmm I think Extended ROM or so)

WIZARD Extended ROM Unlocker WORKING!!! thats the thread where is explained how do this...
Terrorzwerg
(sorry for my bad English!!!!)
It depends on your ROM. Most of them except New T-mobile ROM can use extROM unlocker. For T-Mobile ROM you need to backup ext. ROM which you prefer first. After flash new ROM(T-Mobile) , you need to restore it. Please serch in this forum for wizard ROM backup/restore and unlock/lock Ext. ROm. Good luck
NEWBIE POST>>DON'T JUDGE ME
I've read in a few forums around different sites that many people simply soft reset their phone when the phone informs them that its going to begin the extended rom update (as apart of the ROM update that includes OS and radio)...
So my question is why are so many people on here saying that they want to update their rom but keep their EXT rom so they have GPRS, MMS and other settings kept consistent?
eg. I have a US T-Mobile MDA coming in a few days, I want the I-mate K-Jam rom on there but I want to keep T-Mobile's EXT. Rom with it's settings and what not, so I am simply going to update the rom and cut it off before it starts the extended rom, does anyone know of any problems that may occured, because according to what I've read there haven't been any.
Seems much more practical than installing the ENTIRE K-Jam Rom (OS, radio, extended) and then having to double back and re-install your original extended rom.... LET ME KNOW IF ANYONE'S TRIED IT!
This is a bad idea. First of all, if you pull the device from the cradle in the middle of the update, I can't guarentee that you'll be able to get it out of bootloader mode and back to working without some major effort. If you're a newbie, that may not be something you want to do. There's also no guarentee that pulling the device in the middle of the update won't turn it into a brick, either.
I know you want the K-JAM Extended ROM. I would just wait until an Extended ROM unlocker is released and then customize it the way you want. I've been doing this stuff for about 10 years, and without the right tools, you're taking a huge, unnecessary risk.
But that's just my 2 cents...
Well I didn't mean pull it off the cable, I just meant soft reset when it prompts 'beginning customization in 3..2...1..'
But thanks for your advice, I haven't done anything yet anyways, phone's still in the mail
You should try my custom T-Mobile USA 2.17 rom. Posted here in the forum.
you are still able to connect with your t-mobile gprs, mms even you ve updated to kjam's or other kinds of firmware, all you need to do is to get the setting from t-mobile's website.

Im wondering i was reading this this post on the cingular a2dp aku2.3 test rom and i have that flashed but as soon as the ext rom loaded and started the customizations i reseted to cancel them. i then read that faria had made a ext rom that had no cingular settings in them so i loaded this. this is what he wrote.
his is a proper extended-rom .nbf is not a folder containing the files
To install unzip the folder and run the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe
You will not lose any setting that you have in your rom. It simply updates the extended-rom.
when’d you decide to hard reset you device again the extended rom will load automatically as in the official rom , there it is .no Cingular stuff .

faria

but i read a hard reset is when you do clear storage and its supposed to loose all your settings. hows that supposed to work then. am i reading wrong or doing something wrong
The Hard Reset reset state will depend on the ROM you have flashed on your phone. Hard resetting will force the extended rom customisations to be loaded up (unless you skip them).
Faria may have made (I've no experience with the particular files) a ROM "update" that just updates the extended rom with the no cingular settings stuff - everything else stays the same after his "upgrade". Then, hard resetting will force the system to install from his custom extended rom rather then the original ROM's extended rom.
Hope that's correct and makes sense!

ok but the thing is how do i do it. I mean the way i read in the manual and the way i read on other forums wipes out your wholedisk. or am i mistaken.

A few of us have made Update Roms which don't have the OS portion in them. If you don't flash the OS then your settings are not lost.
Faria's Extended ROm Only Flash is a perfect example of one of these updaters.
so if i flash the ext rom then go to the clear storage and do it and answer yes to it. and do that hard reset my stuff wont be lost even though it says it wipes the storage

You will always lose your settings etc on a Hard Reset!
You won't lose any settings if you flash the Extended Rom or Radio Rom.
grrrrrrr i dont think you are understanding me.
ok i flashed the rom complete os. Then i reseted before the cingular settings went into effect. then i flashed with the faria extended rom. I didnt do a hard reset so the rom customize didnt go into effect. I set everything up like i normally use. should i even do a hard reset now . or should i just leave it like it is.
second. If i flash the cingular rom again. cancel the cingular customizations. then install the ext rom. then do a hard reset would i have to reflash the rom or would it leave the blank rom on there

If you want the customization from the Faria Extended Rom then you have to do 1 of two things:
1. Hard Reset and let the customizations run..
2. Manually run the customizations either by unlocking the Ext Rom so you can do it or using Total Commander.
#1 loses your current settings, #2 does not.

If your goal is to have fresh device with the Cingular Rom and Faria Custom Extended Rom then your best course of action is:
1. Flash the Cingular Rom.
2. When your device resets itself, enter Bootloader (holding Camera button).
3. Flash Faria Extended Rom.
4. Hard Reset Device and do initial set-up allowing customizations to run.
This ROM is based on the T-Mobile AKU 3.3 WWE. It was cooked with a combination of the Scoter, double_ofour, Molski and anichillus kitchens. It contains no registry tweaks, carrier dialer skins or carrier logo and it even activates your stock extended ROM, which makes it ideal for G4 device owners wanting a stock upgrade. Smartdialing and Phone Pad are both blue. This is as generic as they get.

But for T-mobile us user with stock 2.26 Rom, if your ROM activates the stock extended ROM, the T-mobile crap still there.
Will try it, since Nottosmart version has some issues with the standard dialpad...

You can flash any extended rom to your PDA, there even an empty extended rom, which contains nothing
This is for those who don't use T-mobile. You can make your own extended ROM and flash it to the G4 if you like. The T-mobile extended ROM only gives you connection settings, IM and Winwap, so you may want these things if you are still on their network. You can also stop the customization by a soft reset after the welcome screen anyway.
I've cooked enough personal ROM's to give a different one to everyone on this forum, and I'm a little tired of bleeding edge. I figure this gives me and others an up-to-date ROM option. I can honestly say I like this as much as WM6 now that I'm actually using my device instead of playing with it.
Taking off my "moderator" hat for a minute, I don't like all of the "rah-rah" going on about people changing build numbers and the like because people are ripping off work as their own. Having someone else's name, number or customizations on my device is not to my liking. The good thing about this being a stock ROM is that I can post this as kitchen packages as well, since I extracted the XIP. Anyone can cook this ROM if they like, and I take the credit for none of it.
By the way, Only OS or has IPL/SPL, radio?
Is there anyway to install HTC home on WM5?

I don't know about HTC home. You can cook it and see what happens.
Wow, talk about under-sell, and over-deliver!
The best bit is my phone finally vibrates on incoming email!! I still can't quite believe it's working having tried SO many ROMs and it failing on my device.
I'm going to stick my neck out and predict this will be the best non-official ROM for the Wizard.
My only minor issue was it tried to execute the O2 customisation but seemed to fail (no error but device remained plain), but that doesn't bother me.
Just one quick question, did you put all the fixes from the ext rom into this rom? Not the TMO stuff but the cabs that install that do the Wireless G fix which is in the Ext rom?
Paul MDX, I'm not really sure about why it won't run your ext. ROM. I may need to replace checkautorun.exe for it to work on the O2.
NTS, as for the fixes, I left out the customizations from the T-mobile ROM because they are carrier specific. Almost no fixes/hacks are found in any of the actual factory ROM's. They are contained in the extended ROM's so I figured if a user allows customization, they'll get a factory setup which for me is exactly what I wanted since I'm using my device very heavily at this point.
It works on my cid-locked g4, but how do i know which aku do i have?? I think, that the aku didnt upgrade from 2.3 (love rom) to 3.3 generic. Help
I use now nbd 8.2 and the icons are the same - aku 2.3. I have modem link, which by aku 3 was removed?!?
Did you use shell tool to upgrade?

BTW, if the O2 .tsk is in the ROM, your ROM will not appear differently. Are your connections set up? If so, then the extended ROM ran.
Yes. RUU for love rome, shelltool for generic and nbd.

understood, but if you go through the cabs there are a few reg settings in there that are for this os. They actually did a cab for the wireless g capabilities. I have to get to a M$ XP machine first to flash it. LOL. Ill let you know.

My connections were not set up. I had to configure GPRS by hand. I would normally get a panel asking me for Normal / Corporate mode, which I did not get either.
Paul, I'm still not sure how to get around the fact that the ext. ROM is not activated in the O2 device, so if I can get the checkautorun file from the original O2 ROM, that may solve the problem. This may mean cooking your own. I tried to upload the kitchen to sendspace, but it stopped. I'll try to get it done here when I get my laptop plugged in to a power source. I also have a new OS ready to go as I had to make a registry change to get rid of the pink and gray highlighting on the Smartdialing panel. Other than that, I don't think there is anything needed.
NTS, there are some .provxml files in the 3.08 ROM that have the customizations about which you are talking. I'll look at and see if I can do a Herald style extended ROM which activates one set of files in the OEM section of the ROM then activates the true extended ROM. This may take the better part of a week, as I'm going to be very busy this week and won't have time to keep flashing my device.

Just to confirm, this isn't a problem for me, so don't dedicate time to it on my behalf. If you would fix it for other users or yourself, I can extract the file you want from my original .nbf if you point me to the tool.

This is the Scoter Kitchen which is one of the most complex kitchen's you'll ever use. It does a great job of extracting ROM's for cooking.
Is the T-mobile dialer skin in the extended rom? Which one please?
