how abt the xda I....

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] softworkz:
After a file is saved the program calls the xda2tools.dll to update the checksum. There are 2 reasons why this may fail:

1. xda2tools.dll was not registered by the setup.

Try: regsvr32 xda2tools.dll

2. One of the dependencies weren't installed correctly.

Please verify that both "msvcr70.dll" and "msvcp70.dll" were installed

to your Windows\System32 folder. During tests I noticed a problem

where the latter file was installed to C:\ instead of the system32

folder but I thought that was fixed...

PS: I really wonder that flashing worked without updating the checksum...

Please tell me if it works now. Did others have the same problem?

Some questions

Hi there,

I'm currently thinking about adding support for editing the NK.nbf as well. What do you think, would this be required?

What I personally would like to do is

to be able to change the keyboard layout - my current guess is that this depends on the file compime.dll

to be able to change the dictionaries for word completion to another language - haven't figured out yet where this is stored

What do you think?

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] softworkz:
This software does not edit the "live" extended ROM on your device. It allows you to edit the ms_.nbf ROM image file that is included with the software upgrade tools.

To edit this file, start the upgrade program and wait until the files are extracted to the temp folder (like C:\Documents and Settings\username.DOMAIN\Local Settings\Temp\pftwxxxxx).

You use "File=>Open" to open the ms_.nbf found in this folder.

Re: Extended ROM Editor and how to put it back into the .exe

1) Simply unpack the complete T-Mobile Rom update file (it's a zipped EXE) into a folder.

There you will find these 6 files:

- HimaClearJumpCode.exe

- HimaGetDeviceData.exe

- HimaUpgradeUt.exe

- ms_.nbf <----- this is the file which holds Ext Rom!

- NK.nbf (main rom)

- Radio_.nbf (radio rom)

2) Delete the other *.nbf files to prevent updating the full XDA2/MDA2 rom. You only need "ms_.nbf" and the "*.exe" files!

3) Now modify the ms_.nbf with the tool softworkz kindly provided.

4) After this, install the modified ext-rom to your XDA2/MDA2 by starting "HimaUpgradeUt.exe" and follow the instructions!

Thats all!

Re: Extended ROM Editor and how to put it back into the .exe

mgartner

thanks for the info. Let me restate to check whether I have understood correctly:

Starting the HimaUpgradeUt.exe from WinXP I will get back into the same setup program as if I had started the complete ROM upgrade from the original .exe file provide by Qtek.

I can update either all of the .nbf files with a modified - ms_.nbf file or I can delete the - NK.nbf (main rom) and - Radio_.nbf (radio rom) and update only the modified Extended ROM file. The procedure of starting the HimaUpgradeUt.exe is the same for both cases.

I would appreciate if you could confirm that my understanding is correct.

Sorry to be a bit slow on that and thanks for your patience ...

Thanks

The tool is great !

But - is there still no way to permanently disable the write-protection of the Ext.ROM ???

I would need this to use the 16MB as storage space .... not just for the Ext.ROM Cabs - those are not used very often, the space could be more usefully used for other applications ! :wink:

On my XDA-2 i removed all the files from the extended rom. If i need to do a hard reset, it just gives me a standard XDA2 with no camera, or MMS etc etc, i then put the cab files that were in the extended rom on a SD card and run them, to get the MMS, WEB, Camera etc etc setting, this way i keep the 15 or so MB space a tomtom map.

I would like some exta cab files probley from the T-Mobile extended rom so i can have the SPB GPRS monitor and the Video MMS app.

i understand the files are in the extended rom so you can do a hard rest standing in the middle of a field and have a fully working xda with all the extras as per your country or prvider intended. But surley a hard reset is not normally some thing you do that oftern and normally your PC would be around so you could put any programs back on it.

Am i the only one who would rather the space uesed for something other than files i hardley ever use, or is the a reasion why people are not doing this ( reasion why i should not do this i mean).

Lastley and sorry to go on but i have a UK XDA2 i have put the t_mobile upgrade on there, then sat and tried all the Cabs from another UK XDA2 so i could get all the setting for the UK, there was a couple of cabs that if i run then the phone would not go into service properly, i used trial and error to work out what i needed and everything is fine.

some of the cabs are obvious what they are, but dose anyone have full list of ALL the cab files and what they do, this would help us to get all the right setting and all the programes we think we need

Anyone got any views on this please....

The reason is that on some devices (like mine) the extended ROM is write protected, only way to change is the upgrade process, thus you can use the extended ROM for storage.

Re: msvcr70.dll installs to wrong place!

This doesn't matter because the copy you made does not get removed from the winsys folder. Doesn't it work now?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] softworkz:
Re: Error received

There can be several reasons for this error:

You have the file opened by another application or process.

=> Create a copy and try to open the copy

The pathname is longer than 255

=> Copy to a more low-level folder

You are trying to open an incorrect nbf-file.

=>Make sure your nbf-file is 17.236.032 bytes long.

Only ms_.nbf from xda2-update is supported.

I currently don't have any other idea..

The problem isn't that program is not working - it works fine so far - but *.dll file gets installed in My Documents. Removing this file (and copying to winsys folder) causes a msi repair each time I start your program.

4.) after reloading the ROM-File the images are not displayed and also on my MDAII there are no images shown at softboot.......

has anybody tried this ?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] AE:
The replaced images was Ok right after hard reset, but they were replaced with standard I-mate splash screens during customization process. And now they are again 'i-mate'.

After inspectiong Default_Imate.cab file (carrierdevices' i-mate update) i found that it contains both default splash1 and splash2 images.

Now I thinking on it...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] softworkz:
This is normal and the same with O2 ROM for example. There exists another method of changing the splash images. You need to remove the cab file that contains them. (But maybe you would loose some other customizations contained in this cab).

pbelcl: please read 2 postings above!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] AE:
Yes, this is a way I followed.

After some investigation I found Default_Imate.CAB at least do the following:

1.replace splash screens;

2.Customize IE home page with I-Mate links

3.Adding security sertificate

4.checking files (by list) for existence

and probably something else - i can't say for sure.

So I just delete it.

But another issue: autorun.exe suggest me to "choose operator to customize device settings" and shows in list all additional cab's I place to ms_. So I replace this autorun with UK O2 xda's autorun.exe and everything become Ok.

Now all my problems were resolved :)

ER2003 edit was started , then I moved to "files' tab to insert a cab file ( RescoFileExplorer ) . It's done . But when I extracted config.txt file to see if it has a change , I saw nothing changed in this config.txt . My question is :

Is is correct if I edit config.txt with text editor like WindowsXp notePad then insert back in to ER2003's Tab" file" .What is the best way to do with config.txt ?

Then I saw in ext-ROM alot of file that i guess for GSM Conection and gateway Auto configuration like 1o1o.cab , O2ASIAStarhub_AP.sa.cab ,etc . I really dont need all of them and decide to delete them . My question is how about Autoconfig.txt ? Deleting it is possible ?
