I did a softreset before the T-Mobile branding but now I want to see what I'm missing.
HERMES_MountALLExtROM.cab
That does not work. Or am I doing something wrong?
there is no extended rom, all files are in \windows

So why can't i simply uninstall all the stuff from the pre-installation when there is not extended ROM ??
There is no Ext_ROM in Diamond.
Check that 5 files in Windows directory:
config.txt
config_AP.txt
config_end.txt
config_operator.txt
Config_PT.txt

Hi!
I was wondering if the WM5 Rom editing tools still work with a WM6 Rom, I was trying to add some dll's to the WM6 rom to make it work on my Prophet (Sound dll is wrong). I first umpacked the rom with prepare_imgfs.exe then viewimgfs.exe I replaced the files in the dump directory and then tried to repacked with buildimgfs.exe but it displays one line of junk on the commandline and that's it. So the questions are:
1. Can the Rom editing tools be used on a WM6 Rom
2. What orther options are there to change files in a not flashed .nba file?
Thanks,
Ramon
ok how did you get that to work, cus i was trying it and the folder Dump was not getting made!!! i tried it so many time!
I don't have any problems at all... Everything works just the way it did with wm5...
extract OS.nb from nk.nbf using: typho5.exe -x nk.nbf
prepare_imgfs.exe OS.nb -nosplit
viewimgfs.exe imgfs_raw_data.bin
...modify "dump" directory as you need...
BuildImgfs.exe
make_imgfs.exe OS.nb -nosplit
-----------------------
replace OS.nb with the name of the OS part.
do not forget the -nosplit option in prepare_imgfs and in make_imgfs.
bye
Just to clarify, I'm using
Code:
typhoonnbfdecode to get 80040000-OS.nb
prepare_imgfs 80040000-OS.nb -nosplit
viewimgfs imgfs_raw_data.bin
make the changes without removing any of the files created in the dumping process then
Code:
buildimgfs
make_imgfs 80040000-OS.nb -nosplit
after that use nb2nbf_tornado to make a new nk.nbf

I'm doing the exact same thing, but at this step:
make_imgfs 80040000-OS.nb -nosplit
It goes wrong it fails without an error message..
What exact file are you trying to integrate in the rom? is it a module?
btw. you never get an error message

Well I don't think it matters, because I also tried a makeimgfs and changed nothing.. no files.. but the file I want to change is "wavedev.dll"
Solved it!
I though the last step:
make_imgfs.exe nk.nbf -nosplit
But it had to be make_imgfs.exe 80040000-OS.nb -nosplit
I thought it was just going to create a new file..
That's odd... before rebuilding you didn't remove any files did you? such as imgfs_raw_data.bin?

Naa, no new file... the old one is used as a template...
Great to see you solved it
Good luck with the rest...
Just learning a bit of ROM-cooking atm. Got a little problem, hope someone can help me get further:
When I add files to the "dump" dir and try running "BuildImgfs.exe" it lists the files nicely, but "imgfs_raw_data.bin" doesn't change date or time, nor does it change size.
What am I doing wrong?

It's NORMAL, go on. I don't know why the date doesn't change, i was confused too the first time i cooked a rom, but i can say it's completely normal.
Thank you Risidoro for the fast response.
is it possible to cook wm6 rom for G4 locked devices? thanks

Now you need to learn how to create cabs and autorun them from ext_rom. That's what does all that AFAIK. Chefs -- is there any other way? Can you modify the seed hives directly?
I would like to know how to modify the hives too. I saw a tutorial somewhere, but I can't find it now.
hi...
can someone tell me how i can mount and unmount the extrom..

Use one of the Hermes Cabs such as Hermes_MountALLExtROm.cab Which you will find on the Wiki.It has worked for me.
an how can in unmount it ???

You'l have to change the registry values ,there is a section on the Wiki with the relevant info.
I am a bit surprised with the contents of my no-brand HTC P3600 Extended ROM. There are only three cab files and a config.txt to executed them after hard reset.
LOCK:Enabled
CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_DefaultPage_WWE.CAB (size about 61KB)
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MP_CVSDcpl_20060920.cab (size about 95KB)
CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_ExtVersion.CAB (size about 1KB)
LOCKisabled
RST: Reset
Where is the HTC green theme stuff, the Voice Commander stuff, etc??? These cab files are very small and I thought the customisations were all in the ExtROM... I guess they must be somewhere else...
@anonimo: check the \windows folder... (pre)autorun.* (pre)config.*

Ok thanks!
1. You must be seeing a folder \ExtROM here which has few cabs and tsk files. Place this folder on \Storage Card of your device.
2. You can add the files which you wish to autoinstall after hard reset to this folder. But, dont forget to modify the \Storage Card\ExtROM\Config.txt accordingly.
3. Mark all cab files as read only.
You now have the Extended ROM back on your device but on the storage card this time.... Enjoy.
4. Install PPCPimbackup utility by Dotfred on your existing ROM and backup your SMS using that. And then flash the new ROM.The utility is available in this folder also.

Hi C_shekhar,
I have two questions in upgrading your ROM and the ExtROM
1) How to do this step ->Mark all cab files as read only
2) Can i flash the ROM first, the copy all ExtROM files to the SD card, and then do a Hardreset -> i have done this but seems not work.
Thank you.
you can mark the files read only using a file explorer utility like resco explorer. and as long as u add the appropriate entries to config.txt whenever u hard reset the cabs will get installed.
n btw im sorry im not c_shekhar but i think the answers correct

thank you very much for your quick reply.
now i have reflashed the ROM and the ExtROM works now.
I am wondering why we have to hide the files in the ExtROM folder, as i found all CAB files still there after the installing.
another question: can we hide teh ExtROM folder not the files inside?
Thanks.
yeah sure again that could be done with resco file explorer or something similar... although i dont think hiding is one of the requirements. the only thing required is marking them readonly.
Could some of you, Diamond owners please post the graphics of your device? I mean the png files that can be found in the device's windows directory (theme files, icons, other elements). It would be very helpful to make themes for qvga devices.
Thanks in advance

Thanks. Yes I know that it's not on the market yet, but some people have it and maybe they should do this favor to me.
Why dont you just extract the content from the leaked rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394985
Should do the trick.

i don't really know how to extract these files from the rom.
are these things in the nbh file?
yeah, its an exe, right click, then click extract here.
make sure you have duttys gooov nbhtool and tzadios imgfs tools extracted in the same folder as the nbh file
then extract the nb fom the nbh using duttys nbh tool
then open cmd in the folder and type nbsplit -kaiser os.nb [splits os into payload and extra]
then imgfsfromnb os.nb.payload imgfs.bin [extracts imgfs from nb.payload]
then imgfstodump imgfs.bin [dumps imgfs]
any more questions on rom dumping, search...

Yes, i have a german rom.
Anyway, i found the name myself. I renamed My Documents and mistook the \\Plugin folder with the My Documents folder in the posting above.
Thanks for helping kidnamedAlbert.
