Ive been working today on wrapping the os.nb into a complete nk.nbh and flashing. No luck or success so far but atleast this method has eliminated the need to recover from SD every time a bad attempt has been performed.

Still going ..... Still going......
[HTC Startrek] charlieluo:
I also tried the customized full ROM method by warpping everything into a single nbh file, but the device refused to load the ROM because it's not properly signed. I guess there have to be a complete different solution for StarTrek.
[HTC Startrek] raskell:
I also tried the nbh approach, hoping that the SD Flash would take it , but it did not. I'm thinking that the pdocwrite approach has the best chance at present, but that has many challenges to solve as well. We'll keep trying, as sledwrecker has said, until we brick our devices!
[HTC Startrek] raskell:
Sled, Have you tried this exact method with the Tornado OS.nb? May be worth a shot. Recalculate the size in HEX though.
[HTC Startrek] sledwrecker:
Yes I wrapped the WM5 package back up with the WM6 os.nb inside.

It gets all the way to the copy screen on the bootloader hits about 2% then kicks back an error to the desktop that the image is corrupt.

I've been reading a lot in other device forums that use nk.nbh files and have also been in contact with some pretty good developers.

below is a reply I got from:

The device is very similar to the HTC tornado, same omap 850 proc and arcitecture. Would it be possible to cook a wm6 rom using the OS.nb from the tornado and a WM5 ROM for the startrek?

I've been working on this for about two weeks now and have gotten pretty far but I still have not gotten a working build / rom. Would it be possible to modify hypercore to be able to cook roms for the startreck?

startreck uses the nk.nbh instead of the nk.nbf

Thanks again!

Unfortunately i am not an expert on that kind of problems.

From what i know you'll be needing a good working XIP for the Startrek. That you could attain by extracting the full XIP of your phone with something like bepe's xipport. Then you could use a XIP from the device you say it's very similar and extract it's XIP then you have to copy some modules from the wm6 XIP to yours and then relocate them. After all this is complete you can start working on the OS side of the problem.

You take the wm6 OS and extract it, then add your drivers, OEM, dpi files to this wm6 and then relocate the modules and only then you can compile it back and pray that it works. It's a very difficult task and it may be impossible too. It depends on your luck.

For porting WM6 to startrek you can ask cmonex and maybe whiterat. Also try to search for the developers of the Football rom for the Dell Axim X51v (which also didn't had WM6) and ask them how they did it.

Good luck ! you'll need it.
[HTC Startrek] shahkh:
its good to see that someone is not giving up on startrek. so far end result of my findings about wm6 rom for startrek was; everyone gave up as they dont want to brick their handset.
[HTC Startrek] raskell:
Sledwrecker - have you had any contact yet with Whiterat or Football? If not, let me know and I can make some inquiry's on behalf of our cause. I am also looking into bepe's Xipport utility. Since I have the Startrek and a working Typhoon with WM6, if I can figure out how to use his method, we may be in the hunt. Let me know.
[HTC Startrek] sledwrecker:
I sent a bunch of PM's but no responses. I've still been working on this but no luck.
[HTC Startrek] raskell:
I also sent a PM to Bepe who supposedly has a XIPPORT program. I haven't heard back from him yet either. I was hoping, since I have a Typhoon and the StarTrek, it would be a possibility to port the working OS from the Typhoon over to the StarTrek. Just thinking that this may be a different approach the the 'Kitchen' you are working with, Sled.
[HTC Startrek] sp3dev:
Guys, i dunno what you are doing atm... first let`s find a way to bypass the security check in spl. for it i need a tester who is not afraid to KILL his phone - though hacking spl is easy, there is 40% chance that we`ll get a brick.

As for wm6, when we fix the bootloader, it`ll take me at about 2 days to make a rom
[HTC Startrek] raskell:
I'm up for it. I'd just like to know what it is we're doing with SPL and what, if any contingencies there may be for recovery in advance of taking the plunge. I don't use my QTEK 8500 at the moment due to WM5 limitations, so let's have at it!
[HTC Startrek] sofene:
I am also game. I have a device that I can experiment with.
[HTC Startrek] Churchill:
May Lord be with you good people... I also have an 8500 (well my Wife) and am also ready to try...
[HTC Startrek] stynos:
I'm game!

I'm using my 8500 as a bakup-phone, so I don't have to carry my Universal around with me always... ("Is that a phone in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?")

I'd be more than willing to test things...
[HTC Startrek] ssn04:
I also have an idle 8500 to contribute to the cause.
[HTC Startrek] arpy:
Me too...will brick my phone ,too..:D
[HTC Startrek] fpollaci:
Me too. I ordered something new, so I can use my strtrk to play...
[HTC Startrek] solyoung:
Heck, I'll pick one up from eBay to participate...

Get something testable and I'll buy one of these things. WM6 on the Universal is terrific... Would love to WinMo on a slimmer phone.
[HTC Startrek] shahkh:

count me in for either bricking or fixing. :-)
[HTC Startrek] JAmerican:
Could you provide other Smartphone users such as me (a Dash User) with your kitchen to see if I could make it work for our devices. I have only used PPC kitchens and they are no help.

TIA,

[HTC Startrek] shahkh:
?

where is everybody gone? i believe there are enough volunteers to start with now!
[HTC Startrek] raskell:
We agree. Waiting to hear back from POF (Moderator) and/or Sp3Dev on the trials for a modified SPL.

Apparently Erofich has gotten rid of his StarTrek, but there are 6-8 of us willing to take the steps to move us forward. (I personally have no experience modifying an SPL.)

[HTC Startrek] GnatGoSplat:
I'll be looking into it. I've ported WM6 across platforms, from Hermes to Wizard, so it should be possible to do the same here.

The biggest hurdle is being able to take a raw ROM dump and converting it to individual dump files, separating it into packages, and extracting the XIP. I'll have to research that unless anyone already has this knowledge and would share, that would really save me some time.
[HTC Startrek] chymmylt:
As much as I normally like to say - give them time they'll announce stuff when it comes - I wanna know too - it's been too much time since any works been in this forum. In fact, last night, I was looking through all these threads myself starting to pull stuff together for me to start playing around (though I have very little exp. building roms so I had no expectation of getting anywhere.

From what I pulled together last night was:

We have the ability to flash the OS portion of a rom to the phone but not a full rom.

Using this method, there have been a few modified WM5 roms created (though I don't think they've been readily posted in this forum)

People have made a couple attempts to port WM6 by trying to fuse a XIP from a WM6 rom to a WM5 OS but have never successfully gotten past the boot screen.

The developers here had started hacking a SPL which would allow a full rom flash but had not success as of the last post where they might have something but it was expected to have about a 20% chance of failing and that thread then basically died there.

I've tried Google/Bablefish translating several russian sites that were working on such things but from what I could make out (and these translations were far from good) I got the impression that the people there (who were mostly the same people working here I think) basically gave up too :(

I don't know if this post helps but this is just a gathering of the imformation that I've pulled together - hopefully it can help somebody who is smarter then me so they don't have to track down the info themselves again! Most of this information is with in this thread and this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=311776 started by Erofich. While there is a bit more info in: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=43194 - it is all in russian so I don't know how much help it will be. Neither Google or Bablefish did a great job translating.

Maybe if we all put in the info we have it will help cracking this nut?

Chy
[HTC Startrek] Jeff:
Yeah, it looks like the development on WM6ing our devices stopped cold a couple of months ago either here or in Russia. From what I could tell is everyone is testing out the pdocwrite meathod of flashing apparently already modded nb files of the 'Official' WM5 flavour... The RUU meathod seems to be not functional.

Don't know about the rest of y'all, I am not a gambling man, but if there is a 80% chance of having a "stable" WM6 on my Cap'n Kirk - I would probably go for it...

Guess we'll have to just keep checking this and the other posts for updates (when applicable).

Peace.

[HTC Startrek] BSmart:
I Tried this.. it does do something, but now what I hoped for.

I have a Dopod and wanted to flash the I-Mate WWE rom.

But I got the Wrong Vendor ID message..

Any one knows how to solve this?
[HTC Startrek] BSmart:
Got it to work, flash another rom :)

I followed the steps in another thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=292068&page=2

1. Application unlock your phone using regeditstg and do the following :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000 1001 = 2 -->Change the value data from 2 to 1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000 1005 = 16 --> Change the value data from 16 to 40

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000 1017 = 128 --> Change the value data from 128 to 144

Reboot the phone

2. Run SDA_ApplicationUnlock tool. Reboot the phone after it finishes.

I found it here: http://www.elims.org/downloads/HTC-Tmobile/SDA_ApplicationUnlock/

3. Download itsutil.zip from http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/tools.html , version from 2005-6-28. There is even newer version, but with that version you can not use pdocread without arguments.

4. Connect the phone with activesync

5. Run Command Prompt, go to subfolder named "build" in itsutils folder, and run pdocread without arguments

6. Note the value of "uniqueid". It will be something like : "00 00 00 00 12 03 02 14 3b 07 1b b2 04 05 07 54"

I used a later version and used pdocread -l the uniqueid will be displayed somewhere :)

7. run pdocread again with these arguments : "pdocread -n 1 0x000000 0x10000 -b 0x4000 original-bdk1.nb". This will make original-bdk1.nb file in build folder (where the pdocread is located).

8. Upload this file and value of uniqueid to http://www.spv-developers.com/strtrkCID/. It will open a new page after few seconds. Go to bottom of the page and click the link "Download patched BDK1"

9. Download the file (it will be named like "supercidxxxxxxx.bin) to "build" folder

10. Run the pdocwrite from command prompt with these arguments : "pdocwrite -n 1 supercidxxxxxxx.bin 0x000000 0x10000 -b 0x4000". Replace supercidxxxxxxx.bin with the original name of downloaded file from step 9.

11. Wait 15-20 seconds and that is it. Reboot the phone and install the ROM you like
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
right, that operation named SuperCID
[HTC Startrek] da_mayhem:

[HTC Startrek] ericharlz:
when u get it, can u try it and lemme know how it was :-D
[HTC Startrek] happycollin26:
Hi guys, if I could be of any help... just say so, I am into programming and all. I'm not up to date with phone programming though. But, if I could help in anyway, just say so.

On a side note, I am really mad that Cingular/ATT just ditched our phone and didn't even try to upgrade it. Microsoft opened it up for free for goodness sake! And, I am mad with Microsoft, but thats a whole other story. After 10 years of Beta testing for Microsoft, and they could not include me in the beta test of Longhorn/Vista before they released it to the open public. Now, I'm beta testing its Network Operating system.
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
If anyone wants to help me in wm6 development for StarTrek, please try to flash this file (it is wm5 with updated wm6 xip).

If wm5 will start normally then there is only a few little steps for a working wm6 for your device :)

The files you need to download:

http://4pda.ru/forum/uploads/img-65469-star.rar

http://ren.redsys.ru/_private/WM6StrTrk/OS.7z

http://ren.redsys.ru/_private/WM6StrTrk/RUU.rar

1) unpack OS.7z to a folder named "Test"

2) rename OS.nbh to SK_CWS_4.1.502.5_SHIP.nbh

3) unpack RUU.rar and copy it contents to "Test" directory

4) unpack img-65469-star.rar to any folder on PC, and copy spl.nb, spl.lnk, jumpspl.exe files to the ROOT of your StarTrek

5) Run spl.lnk in your smartphone

6) Run ROMUpdateUtility.exe from "Test" folder on your PC

7) Follow the instructions

8) Please feedback in this thread with OS build/version number from About menu in Settings

PS. You need to make a SuperCID and registry unlock

PPS. ALL YOU ARE DOING IS ON YOUR OWN RISK!!!

PPPS. Please use only WinXP for flashing, not Vista!
[HTC Startrek] chymmylt:
If I can find access to a machine still running WinXP I will certainly give it a go but all my machines are currently running Vista :S

EDIT:

I just called a co-worker and he said he could bring an xp laptop to work but we don't work the same day again until next tuesday. Hopefully, somebody else has already tested this by then (I'd love to see the progress! Where are those dozen or so people who said they would test things!) but if not, I'll give it a go on tuesday.

Also, just for my understanding (I'd hate to loose the phone but it's not my main one and I will test on it regardless) but what is the recovery possibilities if this flash fails? You're using the softspl which was posted a couple days ago correct? So it shouldn't damage the phone if the flash fails though I wont be able to use the softspl to flash again correct? I should be able to flash a manufactures rom from bootloader over USB or memory card though? (Yes I understand that **** happens and it could easily screw the phone but this should generally be the situation?)

As I said, I will test on tues (or sooner if I can find an XP computer sooner) regardless of recovery chances but I am just trying to gain some understanding of what I'm getting myself into :)

Thanks,

Chy
[HTC Startrek] happycollin26:
Sorry, Vista here. :O(
[HTC Startrek] chymmylt:
Well good news and bad news. Dugup an old copy of XP and installed it on a spare machine (that's the good news).

Bad news is when I go to install the OS - I run the Rom Update Utility and I get an ERROR 208: File Open

The Update Utility can not open the requested file. Please check your Update Utility.

The only option I have from there is to quit. I'm quite sure it's the .nbh file - I used it with an official rom and it worked fine :(

Where do we go from here - got another attempt? :)
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
Ok, try to use ьodified RUU

Get it from attach.

But before this try to rename OS.nbh to RUU_signed.nbh

PS. If WM5 will not start, you can flash any official ROM to recover your StarTrek.
[HTC Startrek] chymmylt:
And we have a brick! :(

Flashed successfully but when turned on, I get the:

Cingular

raising the bar

bootscreen and the windows screen on the tiny screen but it will not go further. Also, I can not get the phone to enter bootloader :( (the two side buttons and power right?)

So being basically stuck here I believe I have a brick - Oh well, Guess somebody is going to have to offer up there phone for the next test because (unless somebody can figure out how to get mine moving) I'm out a phone :(

EDIT:

Great news!!! After the 50-some-oddith attempt to enter bootloader, it finally did!!!! I have my phone back up and running!!! Time for the next test - bring it on Erofich!
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
1) turn off phone

2) hold Camera and Record buttons

3) Press Red (power) button for 2 seconds, but keep Camera and Record pressed!

4) wooyla! you got a bootloader screen

5) flash any official rom

I'll provide a new WM6 test rom a bit later :)
[HTC Startrek] chymmylt:
You must've posted while I was editing - see previous post - I'm back in the game! :)
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
thats good news :)

so, here is possible working rom with RUU included

and you need to use softspl as before :)

http://ren.redsys.ru/_private/WM6StrTrk/testrom.rar
[HTC Startrek] chymmylt:
Ok - going over to the other computer to DL it and I'll give it a run and report back (probably like 20-30min) That was quick work (or had you already had this sitting around or somebody elses stab at it?) Either way, thanks for your hard work!

Be back soon!
[HTC Startrek] nevermind:
Few questions:

1) when the WM6 is ready and running (lets say there wont be any problems and it'll be running), will it be possible to downgrade back to WM5? If YES, then HOW? Just run the official WM5 ROM? This is one of the most important things for me

2) let's say I want to do backups every night and I have WM6 running on my Qtek 8500. Will the backups work fine? That means will the WM6 on Qtek 8500 behave like any official WM6 for any other device, or will it behave somehow "special"?

3) How about free space after booting the new ROM? On my Qtek 8500, after hard reset I have about 14MB free.

4) how many people outside xda are working (testing, cooking,.....) on the WM6 for 8500?

Thanks a lot
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
1) yes, you need only any other WM5 rom

2) it will be usual backups

3) i don't know, we don't have a working wm6 rom at this moment

4) me, and jony_aa is helping me (providing some stuff)
[HTC Startrek] chymmylt:
I think you are jumping the boat a bit here! However, you should be able to revert to WM5 by flashing an original rom - however, we're still at a very early stage of trying to get this to work so unless you are ok with potenially bricking your phone, I'd hold off until we get something a little more "finished"
[HTC Startrek] chymmylt:
Rom is DLed - begining the flashing process - wish me luck! :)
[HTC Startrek] chymmylt:
Got 30 seconds into the flash and then failed - got an invalid file size error :(
