[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jcespi2005:
First of all, many thanks to pay attention here :)

The version dos match, but not exact match. For example, dumped swedish ROM is http://xdaforums.com/private.php?do=showpm&pmid=5945191.56.413.2 and the Windows.nb version is 1.56.405.5 (the WWE shipped version).

Appart for the MUI files, there are changes in CABs for the OEM part. Every ROM have different CABs to personalize, but both have this CABs. In this Kaiser ROMs, some menu and files are created trought this CABs wich contents XML. But taking a look to shipped WWE dumped folder and Swedish dumped part02.raw, this files are in the same place for both, so no differences about this. Both works in the same way. Seems after the first both the CheckAutoRun.lnk must launch the personalization that creates all menu and items missing.

Is possible that CustomRRU don't make a Hard Reset after flash the reconstructed OS? this can cause the personalization don't go in the same way that after official update, making this issues about links. I ask Pof about this.

To ppl having this issues, can make you a Hard Reset to see if after booting first time, the personalization executes or not?

Thanks and sorry for the issues.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] tadzio:
I think I read somewhere that this is exactly the case. Iirc, pof made that change to avoid the Storage partition to get formatted (which is done during a hard reset).

However, since the bigstorage ROMs change size and location of the storage partition, I feel very uneasy not having it formatted after flashing.

We should find check if this is the cause of the problems here (so, folks having these problems: please perform a hard reset!), and if so, switch to a CustomRUU that performs a hard reset after flashing.

Cheers

I always do a hard reset after flashing a new rom and it did not fix the problem for me
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] tadzio:
How do you do that hard reset?

Cheers

tadzio
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] vasil:
That's a lot of information :)

1. All exe and lnk files are in Windows folder, not windows\strat menu.

2. All exe and lnk files are in dump made of part02.raw.

3. I have coldinit.exe even in my Windows folder on the device.

4. Files in dumps of Original rom and Part02.raw are almost identical (except some mui's).

5. The shortcuts for Office are easy, but registry settings for control panel are all there, but there's no Device Info or Backlite.

That's know information. Just go http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=334890

AFAIK that won't solve the problem. The reason is:

I've started my own rom editing just for my needs. Hermes kitchen didn't work for me, cause I don't know how to dump XIP part. So I was using bepe's Package Tools to split copy of dump folder into packages. Then I was tracking down and deleting files for certain packages in order to remove them. Removing HTC Home was Easy, but any other stuff I tryed to remove (Windows Live, Windows Media) led me to the same stuff. I was just missing Mobile Office, Backlite and Device info.

I'm afraid it might be something else...

Buy the way, any luck on getting the XIP out???
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] easycure1974:
The hard way with the buttons :) Byt my Tytn II behaves odd when I try to hardreset it, I must sometimes press the button combination four to five times untill it works and the hard reset is done

I have flashed the Helmi_C rom but I can flash my dumped rom and try again to be really sure :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jcespi2005:
Thanks, mate...

Let the PDA boot the first time, and then make the Hard Reset. See if after HardReset the personalization executes and the menu items appears.

Cheers.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] rvdgeer:
I tried again with my reconstructed Dutch HTC ROM, but still no luck...

It actually is (and was) customizing, right after flashing the ROM, but that doesn't solve the problem.

I hard-resetted it too, but still no luck...

I'll try some more and report later if there's any news...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] easycure1974:
Got the same result, it makes the customizing after flash and to be sure I did a manual hard reset as I always do but the same result appears.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] tadzio:
Then there is another experiment I'd like someone to perform:

1. Get the WWE Kaiser ROM file.

2. Flash it, check that everything works (including Office and Settings shortcuts)

3. use pdocread to dump part02.raw

4. run imgfstodump over that part02.raw

5. run imgfstodump (in a different directory!) over an imgfs.bin extracted directly from the OS.nb of the Kaiser WWE ROM.

6. Compare both dump folders. Are there any differences? If yes, please report.

7. Cook a ROM using the dump directory made from part02.bin as imgfs.bin

8. Flash it. Does it still have the problems of missing shortcuts?

Especially the result of step 6 will be interesting!

Cheers

tadzio
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] tadzio:
Well, your information proves that part02.raw seems to contain everything that was also in the original ROM. So we can rule that step of the process out.

This seems to be the point where I'd really need access to a Kaiser to do my own experiments and tests. Unfortunately I don't have one, so it gets difficult here. Anyway, I will have another look at the source code of my tools and see if I can find anything.

Cheers

tadzio
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] tadzio:
Oh, one more question I think I forgot to ask the whole time: on a brand-new Kaiser, are there files (maybe hidden) in the Storage partition?

Since the Kaiser does not have an ExtROM, this might be the case. But then, if they are not protected somehow, a user could easily delete them, so I assumed that HTC wouldn't put files in Storage on a new Kaiser.

However, a bigstorage ROM changes the start of that partition, making its previous content unaccessable. On a Hermes, a hard reset formatted the Storage partition. I don't know how that is handled on a Kaiser.

But if there were files in Storage on a brand-new Kaiser, they could well contain the initial customization we are missing here. This would nicely explain the symptoms.

So, can someone please have a look at their storage partition after a hard reset? Try using tools (e.g. Resco Explorer) that can also show hidden files.

Cheers

tadzio
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jcespi2005:
Can you manually execute the AutoRun.exe in \Windows after the HardReset and put the results.

Take a look at \Windows\Start (or the correct name in your languaje) and find the CheckAutoRun.lnk... exist?

Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] tadzio:
Okay, I had forgotten already about the .provxml files.

I am beginning to see how little I really know about how Windows Mobile really works internally: some app reads these XML files and "updates" the ROM. However, it does not really delete or add files to the ROM itself - otherwise the changes would survive a hard reset, which they don't.

So, where are files which are copied to the \Windows folder or any of its subdirectories really copied to? This might be what's not working with our bad ROMs here.

Damn, I need a Kaiser to be able to test this kind of stuff!

Cheers

tadzio
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] vasil:
I might not be the brightest person but:

Trying to clean up original ROM I found that When I delete all the files related to HTC Home and removed the whole path HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items it works just fine (bigstorage mode).

As soon as I try to remove Windows Live or Windows Media Player from dump (I use Package tools to get packages in a copy of dump folder, then I track down files I don't need) I get same stuff. Icons missing!!!

Would that be any usefull???
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] tadzio:
I don't really know what's going on. Seems the problem has something to do with the size of the generated imgfs. Could be that certain sizes have that problem, while others don't have it.

Cheers

tadzio
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] vasil:
Just have done that again, no rocket science!!!

Delete HTC Home files plus Today Items from registry and it works nice and fast. Delete Windows Live or WMP and shortcuts are gone!!!

One more thing I've noticed. Without WMP and Windows Live default time zone during the setup is -3 when just deleting HTC Home leave it London.

WTF????

I flashed my machine about 8-10 times today :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] tadzio:
Yes. But others do other things in their dump directory (e.g., deleting nothing, just adding some files), and they have the very same effect. So I do not think the problem lies in Windows Live or WMP.

Cheers

Thanks, man. I know what you mean about work...sometimes Kaiser seems a play toy, but really it's a great tool for working.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jcespi2005:
Hi, man.

I've reconstructed the ROM. Try only if you have HardSPL and you have flashed a different ROM that the default one that comes with your Kaiser, cause i can't guarantee the reconstructed ROM to work. In other words, you can test it and post if works fine.

I make two version, the normal one, and a BigStorage one. Test both if you can.

Normal - http://rapidshare.com/files/65023091/Dumped_TMobile_NL-Conservative.rar

BigStorage - http://rapidshare.com/files/65028714/Dumped_TMobile_NL-BigStorage.rar

When you buy a Windows Mobile phone you should buy two of them - one for flashing and playing and one for work :)

Ok, if your ROM works fine, the difference is i reconstructed using the Windows.NB extracted from shipped French ROM, so perhaps the Windows.nb from WWE is causing the problems.

Thanks for your support to all ppl, and sorry for the issues.

Hi @all!

Here is a dump of my german QWERTZ HTC TytnII Rom http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JCBJ6DNC

and here is my try to reconstruct them http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RECZWJ26 .

I was using the Windows.nb from the FRENCH Rom wich was posted above, but I get an error if

I want use the -conservative mode so I only able to use the bigstorrage mode.

Maybe someone can test it and report or reconstruct it by himself.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] CyberSpeedy:
This problem i caused because you're trying to rebuild with a different ROM version then you are using right now, don't know for sure. but had the same problem.. when i used an different windows.nb file eveything went right
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Ra2o2:
Ok this make sense in my ears, but where I can get an right Windows.nb? there is no german Rom available at HTC.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] CyberSpeedy:
If I'm right, you don't have to.

what I did is just try an other windows.nb... I had downloaded more ROMs..

And suddenly it did compile..

My part02.raw is dutch and i just an WWE windows.nb
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] deckard_67:
Did you tried with french Windows.nb ???
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] CyberSpeedy:
No I didn't try it with the french windows.nb

But still.. If I do.. I don't want to flash my device unless someone with an HTC tytn2 (No Tilt,vodafone,MDA varioIII) verifies it is working without any problems.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jcespi2005:
Bad news.... sorry for this... really must be something different in the XIP and Boot partitions between ROMs. The Part00 and Part01 are this two partitions, but for now, can't be taken into the reconstructed ROM, so this is the cause we need operative OS.NB file, to take this two partitions and mix with the IMGFS.BIN (part02.raw) from the device.

Perhaps we need to research deeper with the XIP and boot partitions and find a way to puto both into the NB, instead of using an existing NB file.

I need more help to do this, so perhaps take much time to find the correct procedure.

Cheers.

I flashed the t-mobile dutch reconstructive rom.

the flashing itself went succesfully and the rom is functional. (horay!)

the start menu gots 3 applications messaging, contacts and agenda that are suppose to have costum icons, they don't they got the folder icon next to all of them.

the shortcuts themself also don't work.

removing the shortcuts and adding the normal shortcuts with the same functionality makes it work again.

also the agenda function had a certificate issue. it tells me that the application is not sigened and if I want to launch anyway, I did and it worked..

the disable keyboard sound icons has disapeared in the settings menu

then again... its amazing that I could go back to the offical rom...

Reconstructed ROMs now Works 100%

ey guys, we see the light at the end of the tunnel.... :D

Thanks to the efforts of JugglerLKR, Bepe, Tadzio, Pof and many others, the Reconstructeds ROMs now works 100%.

This are the good news, the bad news are the process is a little heavy, so we need more time to make a guide to reconstruct a ROM, but is in process.

Next to JugglerLKR we are writing a basic Kaiser Kitchen, so with this one anyone could start modifying ROMs and reconstruct any dumped ROM.

For now, i update the second post with the reconstructed ROMs tested and working 100%. I'l update the list with the new ones i reconstruct, until the guide was finished.

If someone want any ROM, send me a PM, and i reconstruc it.

Many thanks for the tests to easycure1974, cudo and more ppl who i don't remember...
