hi fire69

the NscTech CrunchIT app is too buggy , thats why i didnt buy it nor crack it .. i really not recommend to edit the ExtROM.exe with CruchIT coz it will mess up your cab files .. if you use it to add or remove a cab .. the ExtROM.exe is still workable .. but the file inside is corrupted.. (try to test it using pocketrar and it will give an error .. :() ..

so what i really or HIGHLY recommend you to do is to build a new ExtROM.exe using pocket rar for PPC or WinRAR(or other zip program) in your pc then Create an exe using CrunchIT ..

heres the step by step procedure to recreate the ExtROM.exe using the PPC:

1.First RUN the ExtROM.exe that xda2jojo posted in page 3, then you will see the FOLDER text box with \My Document\ in it, replace it with other path for example \ExtROM\ or \Storage Card\ExtROM\, then Click SETUP( remeber it is the location of the folder that the files will be extracted so it is very important to use an empty folder path so you can easily create zip file in it,) a progress bar will show just wait till it reaches 100%, then after that exit the ExtROM.exe

2. Then Goto to the Folder where you extracted the cab files, you can add now or delete some program in the folder

3. After adding and removing or editing, create a Zip file using the Pocket RAR .. (open the Pocket RAR program then goto the folder that contains all of your cab files, then highlights all files, and then tap and hold and click ADD files, name the files ExtROM, then choose zip, remember in zipping you have to zip the files not the folder that contain the files .. cause it will just create a folder in your zip file)..

4. Then Open Nsctech CruchIT 5.0, open the zip that you created, in case you want to add notes Click FILE then PROPERTIES then under the NOTES click Edit.. btw u can skip this one then goto Directly to Step 5 (remember also to make a copy of the created zip file before doing this there is another bug of nsctech CruchIT that causes the zip file to be corrupted if you try to edit the zip that already contain a notes, you can only create a note if it is empty)

5. Then Create an .EXE, in nsctech Cruchit click FILE then click Convert To .EXE, Click Yes then tap Platform, Choose PPC2003 then Check ARM, then wait (dont panic if the program will not respond or the cruchit display weird just wait till it back to normal)

6. After that you can close CrunchIT now then rename the Created exe file to ExtROM.exe then put it in your Extended_ROM(you need to unlock the extended_rom first then lock after copying)

to recreate the ExtROM.exe using PC:

1. copy the ExtROM.exe in your PC, then rename it to ExtROM.ZIP, Open it and Unzip the Files in to one empty folder, and then add or remove or what ever you want to do then zip it again but dont use the old ExtROM.zip use a different file then rename it to ExtROM.zip .(btw you can open the Exe in winrar then you can edit it directly just remember rename the extension to zip after you edit the content, but i really recommend to unzip it into one folder)

2. Then Copy the ExtROM.zip that you created to your PPC then perform the Step 4 to 6 above( but remember zip the files not the folder that contain the files)

thats it .. hope this will help ..

cheers and enjoy .. :)
