I've made another patched ROM: ftp://xda:xda@xda-developers.com/Uploads/Blueangel/wm5_test/ba_wm5_patch3.rar

It differs from the previous ROM in the increased disk cache size and FAT write-through mode is turned off. This potentially can cause loss of data, though in my tests everything worked fine. SPB Benchmark test shows the huge increase in file read speed on my device.

After flashing the device you don't need to do hard reset, nor you'll lose any data (except for system clock settings).
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] 92GTA:
mamaich, can you please tell me what software you use to edit the ROM and maybe a link to a tutorial? I'd like to take my knowledge to the next level.

Thank You,

mamaich,

Taking the modules from the emulator image is a smart way bcz it shares the same build, but isn't it better to use the modules dumped from the universal?at least they are final.. (so far)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] mamaich:
Universal modules I've tested would hang. There may be 2 reasons - they are dumped incorrectly, or they are designed for VGA-screen. Himalaya 1.60 files work, but they crash often. I think that this is a problem in a dumper. It dumps XIP DLLs/EXEs from memory when they are already loaded by OS and their data sections are already initialized. This cannot be fixed.

Images from emulator are dumped with dumprom tool that produces almost correct files.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] mamaich:
I've played a bit with Himalaya registry settings and trueffs.dll driver and made a CAB that would unhide "Extended_ROM" folder and make it fully accessible.

Use this CAB at your own risk as it is not heavily tested.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] KTamas:
After a Hardreset, you have to reinstall that patch...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] efjay:
Do you mean reinstall the patch to hide it again? I know you have to reinstall after a hard reset if you want to show the ext rom again. I was talking about hiding it after you have run the patch to unhide it.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] KTamas:
You can not hide your ExtROM once you have repartitioned it. Read the WiKi :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] efjay:
If thats the case then what good will reinstalling the patch do? The tool mamaich posted unhides the extended rom under WM5. This ext rom is only 128kb as it has been repartitioned already. My question was how to hide this 128kb extended rom. If it can be made visible I assume it can be made invisible again. That my assumption. This has nothing to do with repartitioning the extended rom. Just wanted to know if it can be hidden again without having to clear storage which i have already done and it now no longer shows.

Hi mamaich...

Could you, please, describe the differences between V1 and this V2 ROM upgrade...? For example - are there a new control panel applets or does the built-in camera (PH20B) work...?

Thanks for info...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] mamaich:
I think it would not. Universal's DOC is split into 3 sections, so there should be different registry settings.

the only difference is handling of CAB files. Now CABs designed for WM5 would install.

The 3rd time when I've edited post I've only added the line that this thread may be closed because I've posted the same link in the other thread. There were no changes in RAR file.

to hide extrom - go to HKLM\builtin\drivers, and edit there trueffs* keys (there are 4 keys) and set "Dll" value to something meaningless.

About WMP10 thing in WM2k5

Excellent work Mamaich (just as everybody tells you) :)

I've noticed that there's newer version of WMP10 in WM2005 roms we're testing here. I was wondering if it can be used in WM2003SE.

I currently reflashed to WM2003SE. Can anyone copy WMP10 files from WM2005 device and upload here ?

I think that all that is important would be wmplayer.exe from windows dir.

Maybe it will cooperate with sound device dll's from 2003.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] mamaich:
Re: About WMP10 thing in WM2k5

modules compiled for WM5 would not work under 2003SE. 2003 uses ARM CPU instructions, WM5 uses a mix of THUMB/ARM code that old OSes can't understand. And currently some of the DLLs and EXEs of WM5 ROM cannot be extracted correctly.

FYI,

I tested your registry cab, i did not install the test rom, people are reffering to the 2nd patched rom solving most problems

My problem still exists, i already could install all the cabinet files exept mms.

but still have a splash screen + dailerskin problem

So in the weekend i test the 2nd version. don't have the time to do it this evening,.

But the register cab works fine, can see my extrom of 128kb, (in explorer) but still got errors unlocking it, with the wm2005 unlock tool.

So definitly have to install this 2nd patched rom for my problems.

Butt what shall happen if we resize the original extrom to 1mb or something?

I think that i am personally wrong about this; but on himalaya the splash screens are also located on the extrom?!

They have a bigger extrom correct?

And they are able to change the splash screens.

app 300kb for a cabfile installation (after the reg fix i can also install cab files to the external rom, at least its shown to me, where i want to install the "program")

Is this a small change that this is the problem?

Re: why?

I may be wrong,but I believe that you have to do the radio upgrade before doing the rom update to WM5. You may need to reflash with WM2003SE rom,(1.40 or other) then do radio rom,then do WM5 upgrade again.

I think that you can enter to bootloader mode (see faq) and then update radio rom by using standard updater with deleted files ms.nbf and nk.nbf.

I've made another patched ROM: ftp://xda:xda@xda-developers.com/Uploads/Blueangel/wm5_test/ba_wm5_patch3.rar

It differs from the previous ROM in the increased disk cache size and FAT write-through mode is turned off. This potentially can cause loss of data, though in my tests everything worked fine. SPB Benchmark test shows the huge increase in file read speed on my device.

The ROM may be flashed without any loss of data. And the previous ROM may be also easily restored if needed.

mamaich : I have the WM5 V1 Patched on my blueangel with all the pathes realeased after it, I have allready instaled a bunch of programs and customizations.... here are my questions

1- IF I re-flash it with wm5_patch3 do I have to install my programs again ?

2-With this new persistent storage in WM5 ... what gets lost with an Re-Flash and whats not ?

3-From reading the forum I get the idea that we can re-flash without doing a hard-reset, puting the BA in bootloader mode, is this correct ?

4- If question nº3 is correct... so What do we loose if we do a Hard-reset?

5- I have rario 1.12, can I upgrade to 1.13 whitout loosing my data, programs instaled, cusatomizatioms etc ?

I think many of us have this doubt about this new persistent storage, one thing is not loosong information on it like docs etc ... but what about programs installed that write stuff on registry ? I believe a hard-reset or a re-flash flushes the registry right ? and if so ... we must install programs again.

I'm a pain in the ass with so much questions ... but I believe it's usefull to everybody to clarify these ones.

WM2003 kept all its data in RAM, so you lose everything after hardreset. WM5 uses persistent storage to keep its data, so when RAM contents is lost you lose nothing.

With WM5 you would not lose anything except for current time.
