Hi guys,
I would like to modify / replace the EXT ROM on my P3600i.
I would like to leave the defaut CAB's etc, but I would like to add to it also.
I tried downloading the EXT ROM editor, but I am bit confused on ho to use it and need a bit of a hand / tutorial.
For example how do I open the default EXT ROM of the ROM on my device.
And after I create an EXT ROM and save it as RUU_Signed etc, what do I do with it?
Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Jeff

Can someone point me to a link of the TMO extended rom cab file list with descriptions for each. i searched i swear
Also, If I updated my rom and wanted to load all these cabs back on to the device can i just copy the whole backup folder to /windows/ and then the autorun will run it on reset?
thanks
search better . . .its on the wiki
the one in the wiki is dutch, is there a USA one?
what about the second part?
1. I know its based on dutch tmo rom, but most of the US cabs are much alike (based on their name)
2. autorun makes use of a registry setting (dont know out of my head, but plz do another search on config.txt and autorun) to load the correct config.txt file.
If you change that you canb use your backup and install from there.
I want to write make my application package a part of existing ROM and wants wheneever set hard set it installed (Dont want to burn ROM for each type of machine)
OR
once my program intsalled in memory, hard reset should not disturb it and will remain at machine startup
any luck?
Thanks,
Khurram
Hi Khurram!
There is a relatively simple solution to keeping your program after hard reset, without adding it to ROM and re flashing the device.
Most devices have either extended ROM, or better yet a file store, which is not erased by hard reset, but can be freely written to. (I think extended ROM needs unlocking before you can write to it).
Here's how to make your program restore it self automatically after hard reset: In the file store create a directory named 2577. In that directory place a file called autorun.exe
The system will launch autorun.exe automatically after hard reset, so you can write one to do what ever you need (install programs, restore settings etc.)
I'm not sure about the extended ROM, but I believe the procedure is similar.
P.S. You should ask technical questions like this in development and hacking forum.
Good luck!
levenum, Thanks a lot for the help , i will try and let you know. one thing the "2577" should be created how (any help will be appreciated) and will that folder and file also store at storage "E ROM" or will have to cook ROM for this.
also , any disadvantage of it as compare to Cooking a ROM
Regards
Khurram
In order:
2577 is an ordinary folder which you create just like any folder. (2577 is the processor type) The system simply knows to look for autorun.exe in that folder.
I don't know about E ROM, sorry.
The disadvantages of using file store (that I can think of) is the fact that the user can easily delete the content if he chooses to. Also most WM5 devices don't have "file store".
But if that is not a problem for you, the great advantage of it, is that you can replace any file, using just the explorer which means you can quickly test and modify your app without cooking ROM and re flashing.
Hai guys,
I'm a Noob when it's about making ROM's and ExtRom's. So I was wondering if there was a program that makes an ExtRom for you. In this program you've got the choice of which parts/programs you want to have in your ExtRom.
You could compare it to the environment of an installation, where you have the choice between a custom installation or an advanced installation. When you choose for an advanced installation, you can choose which programs/parts you also want to instal.
I hope I did make my quenstion understandable, 'cause my English aint that well. So, if somebody have some answers or idea's for me, I would like to hear them.
Greetings

Hi, exist any "how to" cook ROM for our Treo750? I'd like to try make my own ROM.
?
any ideas? somebody?
Customize ??
I only know how to customize rom by use exists rom maybe Ruu_signed.nbh or Cheeimg.nbh .
By reading from wiki XDA http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ROM_kitchen because of Treo750 base on Hermes.
if you want to know how to do , what to do read it from ROM Donalds topic but you can choose any tool for me prefer and (almost) use Want more Storage? Here you go! it has batch file to do all process and 'der hermes rom koch' is good for edit all hv file (hv file contain all registry setting for me I prefer to do after flash by mortscript so I only use batchfile).
Please notify once we use exists rom it mean (for me) we only use to add file or remove file with normaly we can't remove it from rom by easy way such as delete by file explorer because of system will said you can't not delete system file in rom example for me I never use Powerpoint,OneNote so I decide to customize WWE 19199 by remove 2 file and some file and rebuild back to Cheeimg.nbh and after flash and boot I got 67MB free ram for storage and 29MB for Program.
IF you need to make new one from zero I still not information I try to search from google but just know a little due to Treo has square 240x240 and very few people use that seem to be hard to find an information and sure if I got it I will let you or anyone know.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Tse easy way is... I don't know .
The hard way is to flash it to your mobile & with a good file manager (Resco Explorer, Total Commander) copy the cabs that you want.
thank you for you answer, but back then i didn't have a phone so bought one and used WST (Wizard Service Tool) to un-hide ext rom and copy it via ActiveSync
