[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] hch_111:
NOTE

This is my first cooking, feel free to try it out.

Eventhough I've been testing it and the results are good, conditions still apply: Use this at your own risk :!:

Explanation

This version of ROM is basically a Sin.Merged.v2.0 ROM cooked with xda2jojo/toenailed's extended_rom compression method.

And the result is a fully automatic ROM upgrade which can be done within your XDA II, no PC needed (except when flashing).

The Difference

Sin.Merged.v2.0 :

- Manual ROM merging using ActiveSync (you need to use your PC).

- Extended_rom installed manually using either Sprite BackUp or run it one by one.

Xda2.HERY.mod :

- Automatic ROM merging (no PC needed) continued with automatic extended_rom installation.

- All done automatically following the hard reset after flashing.

Ingredients

ROM = Sin.Merged.v2.0.

Cab files = collected from Sin.Merged.v2.0's collection.

Extended_rom = compressed by xda2jojo/toenailed (using CrunchIt).

Methods

There are 3 ways to take you there.

No matter which method you choose, the end result will be the same.

Method A/B/C How To:

Download the Xda2.HERY.mod.A/B/C.exe

Flash your XDA II by running the downloaded file.

You'll be asked to perform a hard reset after that.

Soon xBackup will automatically start after a while.

Tap "Restore" tab, tick "All Data", open Storage (not Storage Card) and tap Start.

Then wait until it finished, and tap "YES" when it ask for a restart.

Then it will start installing automatically.

Don't bother with the debug pop-up window.

At the end, you'll be asked to choose your provider.

At this point, you HAVE TO choose one then tap "X".

Coz if you don't, it won't restart, and it will ruin the whole process.

If you don't, even another hard reset won't help since the config files in extended_rom has been changed.

Method A/B/C CAUTION :

Whatever you do, DO NOT tap or do anything during the whole process.

You are only allowed to tap "YES" or "OK" everytime.

During the process, NEVER tap anything unless you're asked to (including tapping the Start button).

Changes are made inside the extended_rom during the process.

After everything finish, I've created a file to reverse those changes back to its previous state (before the hard reset).

Therefore when you need to do another hard reset, the files inside extended_rom will be exactly the same as before.

So it is VERY IMPORTANT for you NOT TO interrupt the process except tapping "YES" or "OK" when it asked.

I have tested this method and the result is flawless, but always bear in mind: "Do this at your own risk".

Method A:

Xda2.HERY.mod.A.exe

Method A README.txt

ADVANTAGE :

The benefit of this method is you'll have plenty space in your extended_rom.

The free space can be used to put the cab files that you always reinstall after every hard reset.

DISADVANTAGE :

The downfall of this method is you won't be able to see the compressed cab files.

They will be automatically deleted after the process.

FUTURE MODIFICATION :

Just in case in the future you want to put more cab files into the extended_rom, you have to do the following:

- Unhide & Unlock the extended_rom using the Extended ROM Tools.

- Some cab file is self delete after install, so just to be safe, don't forget to change the cab file's properties to

read-only.

- Copy the cab file(s) into the extended_rom.

- Open config2.txt.

- Add the name of you cab file(s) in the FIRST line, I repeat, ... FIRST line.

- Example, if you want to add a file named "sample.cab", then insert this in the first line, CAB: \Extended_ROM\sample.cab

- Save and close the config2.txt.

- And for security, don't forget to always keep you extended_rom Locked (and Hidden if necessary).

Just in case if you want to see the compressed cab files, just run the ExtROM.exe file in your extended_rom and choose a

folder to extract (if your extended_rom is hidden, Unhide it first).

You don't have to run Unlock the extended_rom to run the ExtROM.exe, just keep it in locked state.

Method B:

Xda2.HERY.mod.B.exe

Method B README.txt

There will be a short delay before xBackup showed up.

Just be patient because a quite large CompactFlashBackUpNew file is being extracted and copied to the Storage folder.

ADVANTAGE :

The benefit of this method is you'll have plenty space in your extended_rom.

The free space can be used to put the cab files that you always reinstall after every hard reset.

DISADVANTAGE :

The downfall of this method is you won't be able to see the compressed cab files.

Because everything has been backed up in a backup file (CompactFlashBackUpNew), which will be automatically deleted after

the process.

Eventhough there's plenty of free space to put extra cab files, with this method, you have to install the added cab files

manually from inside extended_rom.

FUTURE MODIFICATION :

Just in case in the future you want to put more cab files into the extended_rom, you have to do the following:

- Unhide & Unlock the extended_rom using the Extended ROM Tools.

- Some cab file is self delete after install, so just to be safe, don't forget to change the cab file's properties to

read-only.

- Copy the cab file(s) into the extended_rom.

- Run it.

- And for security, don't forget to always keep you extended_rom Locked (and Hidden if necessary).

Method C:

Xda2.HERY.mod.C.exe

Method C README.txt

ADVANTAGE :

The benefit of this method is you'll be abe to see all the installed cab files.

DISADVANTAGE :

The downfall of this method is you won't have much free space left in your extended_rom.

FUTURE MODIFICATION :

Just in case in the future you want to put more cab files into the extended_rom, you have to do the following:

- Unhide & Unlock the extended_rom using the Extended ROM Tools.

- Some cab file is self delete after install, so just to be safe, don't forget to change the cab file's properties to

read-only.

- Copy the cab file(s) into the extended_rom.

- Open config2.txt.

- Add the name of you cab file(s) in the line.

- Example, if you want to add a file named "sample.cab", then insert this line, CAB: \Extended_ROM\sample.cab

- Save and close the config2.txt.

- And for security, don't forget to always keep you extended_rom Locked (and Hidden if necessary).

Just in case if you want to see the compressed cab files, just run the ExtROM.exe file in your extended_rom and choose a

folder to extract (if your extended_rom is hidden, Unhide it first).

You don't have to run Unlock the extended_rom to run the ExtROM.exe, just keep it in locked state.
