Hello, i'm newbie in this place. From Portugal.
I upgraded my Qtek 9090 to Helmi's AKU3.2 16MB page-pool 32MB RAMDISK.
I think that i follow all the steps, and it's working (with some bug's).
When i install software it asks where to, and it give me 3 options: "Device", "RAMdisk" ans "Storage Card".
My questions are:
1 - What's "Extended Rom"?
2 - How can i see if i have it?
3 - Can i delete the folder EXTROM that i copy to SD card for instalation?
4 - Why do i have an "x" in connections next to no signal of radio when i had a "G" for GPRS in win2003?
5 - Why my phone sometimes rings normaly and sometimes rings 1 time and the screen turns off but it's still ringing with no sound?
Help the newbie here
My device information is:
Qtek 9090 unlocked
CPU: Intel(R) PXA263
Speed: 400 Mhz
RAM Size: 96 MB
Flash Size: 32MB
Storage Size 60.30 MB
Operator Version AKU3.2
ROM Version 5.04.06 WWE
ROM Date 03/02/05
Radio 1.15.00
Protocol 1337.45
ExtROM 1.3
Read The Wiki :[ :[ :[ :[ :[ :[ :[ :[ :[ :[
I'm a newbie, but i'm not a fool.
I already read the wiki.
These are some questions that i didn't understand.
I will apreciate some awnsers from the "gurus".
Thank you.
1 - What's "Extended Rom"?
it's a place where most Operators use to store extra apps, could be anything. I take a guess here, but most of us here dont use extended rom, we usually resize it to 128kb, so there is more space for the OS.
2 - How can i see if i have it?
there is cab out there, i think it was packed with of the previous wm5 rls. cant remeber which rls though .
3 - Can i delete the folder EXTROM that i copy to SD card for instalation?
yes u can. it's an optional package. but it's good to have it, so read it up, see if u need any app in extrom folder
sry i cant help ya with q4 and q5.
my 50 cent about q4: I noticed (in Italy at least, dunno if that is valid worldwide) that when the big G is replaced by an x, I can't send or receive SMS messages. this is the only thing happening to me in this case.
a friend of mine told me this happens when he goes out of credit, but I was unable to confirm this.

It's too good to believe:

I'm downloading now.

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

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...
Hi all, i've installed WM5 on my blue angel, but i was unable to resize the storage card to 60 mb (i would to make it), because everytime i try to launch on my device resize_doc.exe, i receive the following error:

Thanks, and yes i've tryed too to unlock and unhide the extended rom in wm2003, but the supplied tool has failed too, with some other error that i don't remember
Perform these steps in WM2003SE
1. unlock extrom
2. unhide extrom
3. resize extrom to 128k
you now have 60 mb storage (it is storage, not storage card)

Very strange... i've asked a friend with an imate p2k and the tools worked correctly, so i've downgraded to an imate wm2003se rom (my was a qtek one) and everything goes ok..
I'm glad i was helpful
is there any way to resize this without downgrading?

try this fix....
you should try to flash your extrom to another language of Extrom... or another carrier.
according to the bottom notes of THIS(Read this) post...
then try the procedure again in WM2003
PH20B O2___001 (O2XdaIIs)
Tried that ROM, as well as others to no avail. Installed WM6 anyway, let the internal battery drain, and random stuff disappeared. Owner info, start menu and today items, program settings, etc. I assume because it was stored in volatile memory. Please investigate!

dont know if this is the right play to post but please help, after i upgraded my PDA2k to Helmi AKU3.2 - ROM: 5.04.06 WWE - Radio 1.12.00
Extended Rom 1.3 actually this version is so stable and fast but i have few question need some one to answer:
Storage listing that the total available memory is :
60.30 MB Storage
61.5 MB Program
Ram : 15 MB
i think their is 52 MB lost is their any way to retrve it back?
2- as per the forum instruction i have to download the EXTROM file to the storage card to upgrade the program, after the upgrading should i leave the folder their or i can delete?
3- their is repeated programs in the programs and the settings even there is programs that i never use , how to delete or remove them
4-my WIFI and BT is not working but with soft reset any help to fix this problem?
5- do you think i have to hang on this version or should i upgrade it to the 1.4 version?
I have a wizard (qtek 9100) with the latest german rom, a2dp enabled wifi g mode enabled, overclocked constantly to 240, softskey installed and some more...
all in all, the device runs soomth, and works quite well...
Recently I stumbled upon a website or post somwhere describing a method to release some "hidden" storage memory...
I missed to bookmark the page and can't recall where the heck it was...
maybe it was just some dream wishful thinking and all.
but I still believe that I've read about that...
it's just a few megs... but any little bit helps (btw I use a 2GB sandisk minisd as main document storage...)
thanks
I believe you're talking about the extended_rom (10MB) which was only writable in ROMs with IPL/SPL below 1.06 (excluded)
There are registry tweaks to unhide that partition or my tool (see signature) who does it automatically
The only way to get those 10MB is to sacrifice the extended_rom files (used upon hard-reset) by creating your own 10MB FAT16 image with the files of your choice and then flash it with a RAPI tool. But you won't be able to edit them, only read...
cheers

I tried to expose the "Extended_Rom"-Folder on my P4350 (de, eplus,WM5) the way you discribed but no luck. The values I modified with regedit are gone right after soft-reset.
Any hints on that?
Please pay attention:
This is for Windows Mobile 6!
But i remember having the problem with the registry switching back on softreset (MDA Compact 2), but i can't remember how i solved it Sry mate...
Probably somebody else has a hint on that...
Sorry to mention: But with awizard you can dump the extended_rom also. And with total commander you can see the extended_rom without any reghack - and then you just have to copy the files to sd card.
Becuse you might get problems with camera application. Perhaps you can only choose "main" or "extrom" tehre might be no sd card - that was the problem for wizard when unlocking extended_rom
I would use totalcommander
And btw - the extended_rom is posted in Terra-dump thread.
lol
Well sry, but i'm using total commander, and there was no ExtROM already mounted. So i had to regedit. And can you gimme the link to the terra dump thread?

I did it once with awizard = it is 57MB
and with pdocread = it is 62MB
because the end adress is another on awizard than with pdocread.
lol
BUT be careful!!!
Hehe.
You can dump this rom perfect in anichillus Corekitchen. I modified it - BUT i forgot to reconvert the rgu to hv - that bricked my device.
But it works.
just to clear this a bit more into details... what do you mean by bricked ? completely burned, or just the rom got messed up? another question: is the bootloader part of the ROM or stored in another part of the device?
Today i tried to mount the IMGFS and it worked as i removed the whole htc anti spy dll, but it was only accessible over the usb/active sync connection and as of windows locks, some files couldn't be copied :/ pretty sad, seemed to be a easy way to get stuff out of the rom... 90% were copyable... the rest not :/

Bricked = only OS was messed up.
awizard = can only dump OS and Extended_rom --> IPL/SPL and all other is stored somewhere else.
pdocread = the same --> only OS.
We cannot flash IPL/SPL, Splash, Radio = becuase we don´t have an modified RUU or Bootloader like on hermes.
Please try to find a way.

Ok so.....what the hell does this do?
It reveals all the files your provider (O², T-Mobile, ePlus, ...) has added to the HTC Devices.
Mostly it's smoe dialers, bootscreens, themes etc.
For this ExtROM they even added bugfixes as well

BUT they are learning.
The MMS ans Internetsettings are included in ROM. SO if you disable the customizing after hardreset and the Extended_rom isn´t installed --> you have to delete the internetsettings manually.
They are getting better
lol
Well at least the O² ExtROM is a lot better than the t-mobile ones (or even the vodafone...).
Vodafone always tries to push his f*ckn "Vodafone Live" crapstuff and T-Mobile is always messing up screens and buttons -.-

Stop the custumizing after hardreset by softreset before 3sek....
Then you can accsess by totalcommander: just enter "extended_rom" in adressbar.

I have a Original Dutch HTC 4350 WM5 device. The suggested registry changes worked for me!
I have included the extracted extrom files.
