Extended Rom - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hello,
is it possible to make the extended rom on the diamond visible? I need the cabs of my T-Mobile MDA compact IV...

I would like to so as well

Could not found the answer there
Where can I find the files in the ROM

But if I started the Diamond for the first time, there was an info "customization starts in 3 seconds" which I aborted and no branding appeared!
How can I extract the data from the rom?

The answer to your question was in that thread Yeche. There is NO EXTENDED ROM.
to extract the files from the ROM itself, you need to use a ROM kitchen.
And the place to deal with that is in the Diamond ROM forum, not here.

Yes, Diamond does not have an Extended ROM. Infact, the files that get installed during the initial customisation is all stored in the Windows folder itself.
Regards,
Carty..

CE and Radio ROM update only, no extended ROM, how please?

I want to keep all the O2 stuffs intact, is it possible to update only the CE and Radio ROM but not the extended ROM? I know the procedures I think, and I just need to delete ms_.nbf before running BaUpgradeUt? Will my O2 extended ROM stays intact this way?
How much better is 1.06.2 Radio ROM better than 1.02? Is it worth the update?
And after the update, I should just restore DATA but not full restore right?? Also, do I have to disable ActiveSyn before the update? If so, how?
Sorry about so many questions
Think ur ext rom will be blank this way

My answer to your question would be
Unhide the extened rom as is
unlock extenedrom as is now
make a copy of it as in on your desktop
do the normal upgrade
unlock/unhide the new extended rom
delete the content
copy from the destop your old extenedrom
lock/hide the exteneded rom again
do a cold reset.
this will boot the device, reinstall the os and radio and install the old extenedrom.
Do I think that that is a good idea, NO!! but that is what you want to do.
You need to undersatnd that some of the stuff on extened rom is for the new upgrade such as the patches.
So ... not that you asked ... I think what you want to do is swap only some of the files. but do you know which ones?
Read the bit on unllocking the Imate extenede rom
Read the bit about changing boot imaages.
Think about what you realy wont to do and have fun.
pleun, says:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but it's not true. I've done that and your Extended ROM is not deleted
so:
1. You chose the ROM you want to use it (and you use xda3nbftool.exe if the ROM comes from another operator than yours)
2. Before launching the ROM installer "BaUpgradeUt.exe", you remove the Extended ROM package which is call "ms_.nbf"
and you update your ROM normally
Only the CE ROM and Radio will be upgraded. Your Blue Angel will keep your old Extended ROM.
And remember: If the ROM you have chosen comes in a package like BA_WWE_BelDT_12200_557_10602_SHIP.exe, you can open the ifile with WinRAR to extract its contents.
Simple solutions for a simple world!

True, only Qestion I have is why did I not Know that before?
Yup its simple and it works.
Now a real qestion for you based on you own knowleage.
Is there any way to add a Romkitchen Exteneded rom to the upgrade?
We seem to have know tools for this er2003edit does not work for me on the blueangle.
I have not been able to find any way of extracting splash screens but am able to replacing then (which is great but I dont have the original splashes)
Things are not only you know, your ways are not always the best.

Help:I don't want to install the T-mobile extended rom. How?

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

Just Get Wizard, and have some questions

Hi there!
I've just get a Wizard, and it has a GER ROM. I'm qiute bad at german, (and english too) so I want to upgrade it to a WWE ROM. My question is, what is the most clean, and fastest ROM, and where can I download it? I think there must be a step by step for newbies, but where is it? (post link please),
If I upgrade my rom, will the slide-keyborad changes from QWERTZ to QWERTY? (Letter Z changes to Y?)
Where can I found additional reg tweaks, and modification (such as overclocking) to speed up my Wizard? Which of them is the most useful?
Sorry for the many quetions. Now you should ask "Why don't you use the Search button above?", sorry but I'm too excited about upgrading to WWE, but after I've done with that, I'll use it.....Sooory
Cheers,
Hi, you need to upgrade to aku2 imate rom.
download this http://www.clubimate.com/support/KJAM/ROM/K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship.zip
unzip it
and then activesync your phone to the pc and run above exe.
(no need to unlock your phone as it is an imate rom)
Yes the keyboard will probably change but can be changed for your language use registry wizard see here and download version r and install
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39725
dont forget you also need to install this OpenNETCF.SDF.wce4.armv4.cab http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=9341
to get registry wizard to run. (reg wizard has the other tweaks you wanted)
For overclocking see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40284
Thanks for the help. I've upgarded my Wizard with Summiter's rom, but my WiFi couldn't get work. so I'll try the iMate ROM ASAP.
Other questions about phone:
When I get it out of the box, it has a T-mobile ROM on it, and it has the ability to dispaly cell information.( about which town you are in), now my new ROM hasn't got this feature. Was it a Cab customization, or just an option in the WM5.0?
There is a thread here about cell info and a program you can try. http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=46803
Also you can get cell info from gsmtestmode.exe in \windows on the device and make a link to it.

Not executing Dopod GPS extended rom after hard reset

Hi,
I am wondering if you can help. I hard reset my HTC Trinity which is running the Dopod GPS rom and soft reset the device just when it wanted to execute the files in the extended rom area. Now I have a clean version without the extended rom crap from Dopod. Will I miss anything if I did not run the extended rom? I mean will the H mark still appear? GPS work fine? I don't care much about the voice command program they installed. Apart from that, will this clean non extended rom uploaded files version miss anything you guys might have apart from the above?
Does anyone know the description and task of each of those files? Should I execute any in particular?
Many thanks for your help and best regards,
Gilbert

Best dutch rom

Hey, I got a MDA compact IV branded from tmobile, but its starting to get on my nerves, and I want the original theme, so I figured I've got to put a new ROM on, now what rom is the best for a Dutch tmobile MDA compact Iv?
thanks in advance
i use A.Z.T.O.R. X2 (V11)Ultimate NLD based on latest Official ROM
you can find it here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=422417
there aren't many dutch roms, but this is probably the best one.
It seems to be nice and clean... Just a heavily tweaked ROM.
But these are Diamond ROM's, are they good for the MDAcompactIV?
Another thing, when the next Dutch ROM update comes from T-Mobile (if it ever comes) will I be able to update?

I also got a MDA Compact IV...since 2 weeks I run the aztor v11 rom, and man what a difference. Much faster.
Just try..
Okay, all good.
But here comes the noob question... I already dl-ed the [rar] file, there's a [exe] file in the as well as a [nbh] file. Are these the only files needed for flashing my rom? How do I do it? Do I run the [exe] file on my PC or my phone?
Tnx in advance...
Ok, I've tried two times to do the update as I just ran the [exe] file on my PC, but I get the [262] update error.
When it updating the bar sticks on 0%, as well on my phone. Luckily after detaching the battery for 3 seconds, my phone just soft resets. What now???
I've done some research but with all the different versions and languages I got really confused. I need another spl to install the [nbh] in order to update the X2 update. But I cant find a way to run the [nbh] file.
I'm also afraid that I'll ruin my MDA. So I searched for a original spl and ROM, but I can't seem to find the right one. I also unable to determine which spl I have on my MDA. It should be a dutch T-Mobile ROM (& spl???). The warranty period isn't over yet so I might need it. (But I hope not of course).
This flashing thing is really confusing...
Same problem
I have exactly the same problem trying to change the ROM from uk vodaphone to Duttys V4. The strange thing for me is that I have 2 Diamonds (his and hers) and the first one went through the process like a dream.
I'd be very grateful to find a fix

First I ran Olinex hard-spl 1.40, after that I rename the .nbh file tot DIAMIMG.NBH, copy that file to your internal storage and than flash from the internal storage. Read this
If above is still abacadabra send me a pm, then I will translate this in dutch.
best rom questions?
to find out whats best for you is to start flashing.
this question is not welcome here on this forum.
as it always end in a flame war.
