TMO Extended Rom CAB List

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.

ROM Editing...Is this correct?? Please READ!!!

I am trying to modify a ROM for my BA with the use of imgfs tools I downloaded from buzzdev.. This is what I did... (hope someone here could comment if this is correct) I have not tried flashing any of my modified ROM coz i dont still have my BA with me, mabe this 3rd week of sept I will have it in my hands!!! LOL
Here's how:
1.) I tried helmi v1.3 (I converted nk.nbf to nk.nba with the use of nba converter)
2.) Prepare_imgfs nk.nba
3.) viewimgfs imgfs_raw_data.bin
4.) modified the dump directory (added the wm5torage, pocketrar, taskmanager v1.4.4)
5.) edit the initflasfiles.dat with the use Notepad (deleted the 2byte signature with the use of ULtraEdit)
6.) I also edit the default.hv with the use of rgucomp (I dont know if i made it correctly) to include the registry entries of WM5torage) (Well I succesfully convert it to rgu, edit it with the use of UltraEdit save it as unicode and I managed to convert it to .hv file successfully without any errors)
7.) Buildimgfs
8.) make_imgfs nk.nba
Is this a correct way of modifying the ROM? If not, how? I read alot of posts here (xda and buzzdev) on how to modify a ROM with use of imgfs tools and this is how I understood it... hehehe
Is the rom i made workable? Thanks hope soomeone here could help me!!! by the way here is the attached rgu and hv file i modified!!

I might suggest trying the Bepe ROM Kitchen.. quite a bit easier

Yeah its easier>>!!
I tried the method you said..But for me this is simplier... So based on your own understanding, is that correct? I know you have done modifying a lot of roms already....
Thanks
So anybody here could give some more opinions>>>Pls

Anyone?
Anyone???

It seems OK the way you did.
I did the same way as you when I used XdaII or Himalaya.
I edited BA ROM this way too.
One thing to tell you is that you will not know that it works or not until you flash it in your device.
The file you add may overload the space if you don't delete some files you don't use.
I delete transcriber because I don't use it and will have about 500 KB for adding some files I want.
Flash it and you will know the answer yourself.

Thanks
Thank vivi.. Yeah I did, i deleted some of the files in the rom (which I donot use at all) to have some space for my additional files... btw, I read about boot.hv (like on the other method) do I need it also in this method? Or is it included in the default.hv?

I left boot.hv in dump folder and didn't touch it.
I edited only default.hv and initflashfiles.dat.
But it is a long time not doing.I nearly forget the steps to do.
I think Helmi ROM is OK and I use it as it is.

OOOH
I dont see any boot.hv in the dump directory? Did i mess somthing?
Yup It seems that Helmi ROMs are great..Thanks again

Question about AddOn folder in the rom update

I noticed that the VoiceCommander1.6.cab is included AddOn folder after I unzipped the "Helmi_WM2k5_AKU3.2_32mb_v1.3.2_16mb_bitpool_32mbRamdisk.rar"
I have the Cyberon Voice Commander 1.6 for other language, can I just simply overwrite the VoiceCommander1.6.cab? Do I need to modify something such as registry etc?
That should not cause my rom update to fail, right?
If I have other application that I want this rom update install automatically, can I just simply put the cab file into the "AddOn" folder?

You need to modify the cfg.txt file in the \ExtROM\ folder in order to auto-install programs.
The \ExtROM\ folder should be copied to \Storage card\ on your BA before upgrade. Nothing from the AddOn will be instaled.

If ur difference languange Cyberon 1.6 (Build 1.5) is already patch for PH20B device then u might use it not my version, if not already patched, pm me to patch it I'll tell u where to patch it (hex editor is needed).
about extended rom cab bro _TB_TB already answer ur question... just copy the file u need from addOn dir, and copy to somewhere at ur SD card, or better on ExtROM folder with the rest cab and modify the cfg.txt to execute it after HR...
about wince.nls there's a cab for replace it, but I dont it'll will work on AKU ROM maybe u need to modify the rom directly, or if i found the cab I'll send u, maybe u can test it.
EDIT:
copy ur customize wince.nls to \Temp\ dir on PDA and install this cab, I dont thing its will work, but give it a try.

Great! You folks are so helpful.
I will play around with the wince.nls first in the rom to see if it work and give you folks an update on that (when I got my new 4 G SD card and start to upgrading to WM5), coz I remember the old rom does contains a wince.nls in the root.
For the "Cyberon VoiceCommander v1.6" my version is Build 50824.1 that I downloaded from a PDA forum, it works so far ok on my i-mate PDA2k WM2003 se, is that patch for WM5? if without patch, what will happend?(or say the question in another way, how do I know if it is patched or not)
I have attached my version , "Cyberon VoiceCommander v1.6" version is Build 50824.1, some sort of Green, it installed most of the stuff in the SD card. Causion: it is not Engilish

Extracting CABs from a ROM

Anyone on here know how to Extract a CAB file from a ROM/Extended ROM? ive been trying to find something about this on here and cant seem to find anything that pertains to it. there are several programs that are included in roms and extended roms that i have and i wold like to be able to put them on my 8125 with the ROM i have now. Thanks in Advance!
Corey

If you already have a cabfile that resides in the extended rom the process is quite easy... just use total commander and copy the file from there to a place on your device where you can later use it...
If you don't have a cabfile but just a program, say arcsoft mms composer that's already integrated into the rom, the process gets a little more complicated, but not impossible. You will, however, need to know all the files that the program uses, dll's, imagefiles, exe's and registry posts, copy them from rom to your windows pc and from there use a program like ce cab manager to create a cabfile for it (if you want. you can merely transer all the files and registry posts to your current rom without creating a cab)

cool, thanks for the info, what program do i need to use to unpack the NBF so i can access the files? I tried to use the one in the wiki (typho5) but i cant seem to get it to work.

for dumping rom's read through this thread
You'll probably want to read it all and I'm sure that it wont make that much sense to begin with but it'll come to you
For converting a nbf to nb files use:
Code:
typho5.exe -x nk.nbf

typho5.exe -x nk.nbf does NOT make it a .nba file!
It extracts the contents of the rom (OS, Extended Rom, Radio, Splash Screen, IPL/SPL) into .nb files.
The Extended Rom file can be opened with WinImage.

Need Experts Help Cooking ROM 1.14.488.3 from DUMP PLEASE

Hi there, I am trying to create a nbh file from 4 dump files. This ROM is missing in this forum and it is a stock ROM version 1.14.488.3 for middle east. I would like to share it with you and add it to the wiki page.
Now that i got my 4 raw files Part00/01/02/03.raw I downloaded the ROM kitchen. After 3 days of non stop reading, I have a few questions :
* It seems that I need also the ruu_signed.nbh file to make a ROM from dump ? (Please correct me if I am wrong). Why ?
* Can I use kwbr_ruu_signed_WWW_1.19.zip to cook 1.14 ROMs ??
* If not, where can I find the 1.14 ruu_signed_WWE.nbh file ?
* Using DUMP files from 1.14.488.3 and nbh from another 1.14 version will give me which version ? the 1.14.488.3 or the other ?
I tried to use the nbh from official ROMs and that did not help as it seems to be locked I believe which is expected.
Any help would be very apperciated. I hope to create the ROM successfully as there where lots of people asking for it on many forums.
Thanks !

BUMP

another shamless bump

To my knowledge official roms arn't protected, i think all you need to build the dump is part01/part02
you shouldnt need ruu_signed aswell as the part files so just put the 2 part files into the baseRom folder of the Kitchen(may be different depending on what kitchen your using) and run the .bat file to start
goto option extract ROM and then choose the second option(you should see Part01/Part02 mentioned),
if it doesnt make sense to you ill try and explain better but atleast something for you to get started on.

BlackStone ROM Kitchen -- Extraction Menu
-------------------------------------
(a) if you want just to extract a shipped ROM
(RUU_signed.nbh required in BaseROM folder)
(b) if you want to rebuild and cook dumped ROM into flashable ROM
(RUU_signed.nbh, dumped part01.raw and part02.raw required in BaseROM folder)
(m) back to the main menu
(x) exit

Any explanation anyone ?
