[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
I do not have an idea - what are you trying to do with anper tools. Actually I've fixed some minor things with the tools in both roms - and never got any mistakes while building nbo from dump.

Sorry - I don't have such kinda bug. And several guys are using my rom (thread at asusmobile.ru) - they also do not have any problems with SMS. The outres file fixes only the absence of two folders (sent and deleted) - nothing else!

Right now I've sent SMS from my wife's phone to my 525 - works pretty fine. I did it several times with short and big texts - everything can be opened easily..... After some time I went to Folders and easily opened sent/received/deleted messages.

Again - I do not have any idea - what are you talking about....

I wanna notice that I uploaded the ROM. It can be flashed to 525. And it can be flashed without mistakes. You are complaining about some bugs after making modifications with anper tools. What can I say? I don't know what did you do with the rom so I can not help you. Write down what did you change in the rom with the tools? Or go to asusmobile and talk to anper - I saw him online half an hour ago.

If you tried to include some third-party software straight to dump - I can not provide any assistance or promise any stability - it's on your own.....

One more thing - I use my 525 with my last 20748 for 10 days already - and use it as a business phone (means - I use it pretty hard). I do not have problems with it. But I wanna inform you that all the builds from 2070x to 2074X are AKU 1.4 BETA!!! Only the 20753 build will be AKU 1.4 Final! And the next after it - build 20900 will be Aku 1.5 but again BETA.....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] downjones:
Dear AndrewSh....I flashed your 20721 ROM...the threaded sms doesn't work thats fact, I saw on asusmobile.ru even a guy who has the same error.......

if I take just your NB0 without any modification and open it with anper tool then it shows the CHS errors inside the file......so either there is a bug in the anper tool or the CHS errors are really inside ......

If I put your 20748 NB0 and start flashing process...it always shows CHS error....other roms work but yours not....so it is quite funny :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
Hello downjones

In 20721 threaded sms did not work on purpose. It was like "old simple style". Anyway I used it only for a couple of days....

Now about 20748: "it always shows CHS error" - you mean checksum error while flashing or what?

I never saw mistakes like CHS (Cylinder-head-sector) error while flashing...

If it's checksum error - I got that mistake several times with different builds but it's because the nbo has taken the wrong space on Storage Card. It was always fixed by formatting miniSD (FAT). After format - the rom upgrade went without mistakes.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] downjones:
Hello AndrewSh

sorry, here is a misunderstanding..... while flashing I get Checksum error.....and yes you are right the threaded sms on 20721 doesn't work at all....I hope formating of SD Card will help

cheers

I can't read SMS

I flash this ROM (version 2) last evening. P525's very fast and stability, but I can't read new received SMS . I install Reg edit soft and repair with the guy in post No5. No thing change, who help me?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
You can't read SMS - you mean - in Viet-Namese? If so - fix the encoding for your country language.

The point that Vietnam is not present here in wce.nls as one of the system regional settings. You would use the file with full regional support.

I know one nice guy. His name is vivi. He provided the regional cab for a hell of countries: http://rapidshare.com/files/115499616/vivi_Regional.cab.html

Hi folks,

I just bought a P525. can someone give me some instructions (or point me to some thread) on how to flash it with one of these Roms?

thanks a lot!

Dude, I suppose - I can imagine that!

nothin, you won't believe but 20753 SYS & XIP are available here at xda for several days already. For example here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=427057

i install this rom and the pda just shutdown, the mobiz rom give me the same result

what can be wrong with the mobile?

i turn off and take the battery off, i don't know what to do anymore, the pda is is a very good condition, and now simply shutdown

help me
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
What do you mean - "just shutdown". You can not switch it on after rom update or it just shuts down periodically when you use it?

Was the update successful? Did it start after you pushed power+reset?

You should describe the problem particulary otherwise no-one will help you.

One more thing - it seems to me that you don't have enough skills - sorry but you even don't know anything about 7z files. I mean - you tried to flash your device for no purpose.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yatlow:
i think the problem is the bootloader not being upgraded before flashing the ROM. this thing occur to me before this also..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ah_book:
hi,

i am having problem downloading from Rapidshare. Is it possible to upload the ROM to some other server?

Rgds
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
Bootloader should be updated only once - when you migrate from WM5 to WM6. It's more than enough. That's why official WM6 from Asus contains the bootloader update. If you already had working WM6.1 or WM6 - the bootloader was already updated.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cRaZyzMaN:
is just shutdown periocally

the update was sucessfull

i have the bootloader in the first post
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
cRaZyzMaN, it's a battery cover issue. Remove the rear (battery) cover and have a look. There is a special switch on the right bottom part of the phone hidden in a rectangle scoop. And on the cover - special cog to push that switch when the cover is at a place. Sometimes that switch does not work - maybe the cog is a bit short. Take something like a piece of toothpick or a piece of paper and block the switch. Than try to use the device for a couple of days.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] parkhaus:
Battery switch

Crazyman, I also had the problem with the small switch recently. Always shutdowns...

I even had to open the device and re-solder the contacts of the switch. But a toothpick has also helped at the beginning, it was better with it already.

And PLEASE: if you have a problem, do not just post "I have shutdown". As said before, NO ONE will help you. You need to write more details, what you already tried, since when you have this fault, etc.!! This applies to many users in this forum....You know, we do not physically have your device in our hands.

yeah, have updated already. now mine is ok. thanks a lot.. :D

also can i have the totally lite ROM with xt9 function? realy hope to get one.. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] parkhaus:
xT9

@yatlow: You keep asking around for xT9. If you have a ROM-file with xT9, then you have to dump its content with the Rom Kitchen tool (can be found in xda-developers). You can then recook the lite ROM here with xT9 yourself, or install it like an app.

What is that xT9 anyway? Seems to be something like that keyboard here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=392197
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yatlow:
hehe.. it is actually the button at the bottom of asus p525, the * button, which when u press and hold, it will allows u to use the keypad of the asus p525.. so that i can use the asus like i use a regular cell phone..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
Actually xT9 is not "a button" but the input method which I really hate. So I will not include it into my rom. Besides - the xT9 that I have as a module is English/Russian so it's anyway useless for the guy from Malaysia...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
xt9 is useless, idd.

nothin, today I cooked the 21014 - works pretty nice. XIP was a bit wrong so it took me three of four days to fix it - coredll.dll provided wrong free memory amount report. But now it's fixed and for the moment I'm quite satisfied with that build. Very fast stuff....

By the way - Microsoft complained that that build contains parts of the 6.5 core and sys so they forced some guys from ppcgeeks to remove new roms from public.

Hi guys

have a P525, originally purchased in UAE(English).

have sucessfully flashed to various WM6 roms, v10, 18, 19 etc

now want to revert back to WM5, as PIM does not transfer, etc and many other programs (from WM5 ) do not work in WM6 environement.

Baut cannot revert back to WM5.

- downloaded various ASUS WM5 ROM, WWE, WWE ARA all versions 3.43 etc

- have tried using both bootloaders 06xxxxx and 07xxxxx

- with any official ASUS ROM, always get the following error

ROM image found :\MiniSD Card \Galaxy.cap

Language(English), is compatable with the device language(Unassigned).

then click System- Rom update , and imiditaely get the error:

ROM update cannot be applied to this regions version!

- i have also tried the ASUS.UnlockLangID ( runing this before attempting above update), but no difference, same error.

- i have also tried changing the local in system properties, to English, Arabic, Thai and reatempt falshing with ASUS WM5 roms but always get same error message as above.

PLEASE HELP

were can get .nb0 WM5 ROMs please?

Any other assitance would be apreciated, thanks guys
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
To billdownunder

To roll back to WM5 - your choice - I don't want to discuss what is better - 5 or 6.

But PIM - what do you mean by "does not transfer"? No special transfer needed! Just connect your P525 to computer. If your phone was syncronized before - that's it. PIM will be back. Once you create your contacts - save them to Outlook via ActiveSync. And you will always have them. Many other programs do not work.... Hmmm... All the programs made for WM5 work pretty nice in WM6.....

It's always useful to read the topic - at least to look it through. If you have WM5 cap file - go there, download the file and convert your cap to nb0.

__________________________________________________________________________

To nothin

Gwes is faster. SKTools benchmark is a bit higher. Not more mem usage.

The prob was with XIP ported from Atom - coredll.dll was not good so I lost app. 24 Mb of program memory. It was 60 instead of usual 84. I solved the problem already. Another prob - I made some mistake porting XIP - the system date after flashing shows not the rom date (2009, January) but kinda 2007. But it's not a big deal - it's anyway necessary to set the date so the year must be set to 2009 - not only the day.

I don't use that soft - I hate to have localized interface anywhere on PC or PPC. English is good for me..... Wanna advise? :) Find someone from the older generation in your neighborhood - I mean person older than 50-55 - they were forced to learn Russian at schools while dark ages of communism :) They will probably help you with Russian....

__________________________________________________________________________________________

To jlj0425

Normally I tested it for a couple of days - no bugs detected.

If I am not lazy to re-port again XIP to make a check - I am ready to upload the rom. I will decide today.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yatlow:
so how do you use the keypad on asus p525 ya? or you just use the touch keyboard on the screen.. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
How? I push buttons by fingers. But I hate to push one button 10 times to get the necessary symbol. It really pisses me off!! And you? In the different way? For me it's more easy to call than to send bloody text message. I'm adult. Text messages are for juveniles. And besides - in my land one minute of call casts cheaper than one text message.

Of course I use touch screen to write texts. If i prefer T9 - I would buy Siemens C35 :)

To all

Build 21014 AKU 1.6.0

http://rapidshare.com/files/182724084/ROMGalaxy21014.7z

XIP 21014 ported from Atom

SYS 21014 ported from Diamond

Run LanguageUnlockID before because finally I did not forget to change 0419 for 0409 in xip . So if you update from my older ver or from other language - use unlock utility or force mode.

SPB soft.... I don't know.... My PPC should have 10 times more memory to use such soft. About backup usage - DON'T!!! Is a killing stuff... Besides - it will never help if you decide to migrate from older Win to next one.

OK, I never used navigation with P525, so I have no experience....

I can not suggest anything. You see - I am making ROMs by myself - that means - I am not satisfied with anyone's rom..... Normally I am lazy. If I have anyone's really good rom - I would not make that **** with cooking.

Nice ROM, Iam using it now, the all new 21014 ROM. Its really fast!! and simple. I installed adobe reader for ppc, spb full screen keyboard, clear temp, MDict with wikipedia 2008 dump, icontact, office mobile 2007, pocket mechanic, psshutxp, S2P, S2V, S2U2, SpbBuckup. installed also the standard games, all mobile casino and chess genious. still with all the apps install, it is still fast and the keyboard look nicer. i like it much coz i do not use also the T9 input and less preinstalled apps. it make me crazy when i see useless apps icon. thanks a lot SIR ANDREW. MORE POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

heh heh, you amaze me day by day.

i remember having russian lessons too (i am 30 y.o.), but i forgot everything, so they probably did too, lol.

hahaha, i like that point of view!!

btw, i succesfully made 21xxx rom from yours, now it's time to test.

This build is really very fast, damn!

Asus is great.

upd: only, VERY serious problem for me:

nuenobar nor vjtoggletoday IS NOT working properly :(

what a shame...

if someone is going to recook, here's fix in case you get nasty, persistent AS process:

change synccsp.dll, syncmgr.dll, syncres.dll, syncutil.dll for older version from 20931, i.e.

Hardkey input tool (like T9)

This is a GREAT tool!

http://www.modaco.com/content/all-p...aco-com/263017/zta4-text-input-for-asus-p525/

It is called ZTA4 and with it you can use the hardware keyboard for text input (as a SIP). Instructions provided also on the site.

I am still figuring out how to modify .nb0 files (for a better ActiveSync). I dump the content, exchange the files, but I have problems repacking them. The program crashes when packing the dump again...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
always look into kitchen's /temp to get .log.

very short, fast info:

only method for start is to get new vivi kitchen(with OLD rom, vivi's last one..) and optimise it(remove unneeded things, remove oempacks, add tweaks, etc). it is baserom now.

then, it is needed to make rom dump and temptate(xip) with nb0_kitchen(functions: unpack, make temptate) from 21014 ROMGalaxy.nb0(so place romgalaxy in vivi/tools and use nb0_kitchen with PROPER file.

then you need to replace EVERY possible(well, not every, in fact, but it is simplier to say that) file and module that are in vivi's, then replace kitchen /rom/rom.tpl with newmade one(temptate file).

that part is very very time consuming experience - some files may be as modules in 20931, and as files in 21014, every name must be checked, and properly replaced...

then you may test if it is building and booting properly, then you may start modifications(as AS files replacing, oempack adding, etc).

cannot write more at this moment...

sorry for poor english..

cheerz, need to get some sleep..

thx 4 info, gonna check it tomorrow... on first look gstupidinput seems simplier..

upd: on second look, it may be damn useful!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
Actually it's no need to pack old modules instead of new ones to stop the unwanted activity of ActiveSync.

There are four easy steps:

1. Disconnect the device from USB after syncronizing.

2. Create fake server, in Schedule menu point syncronize manually, than delete fake server from menu Options.

3. In TaskManager kill ActiveSync task.

4. Go HKCU/Software/Microsoft/ActiveSync/. Delete dword 'KeepAlive' completely. Reboot.

That's it. ActiveSync won't appear in active tasks until next syncronization. After each syncronization - just repeat step 4 because dword 'KeepAlive' will appear adain.

The reason why I do not use the patched modules in my rom - later I have a problem with syncronizing. If I use the patched modules - the first syncronizing goes without problems, but the next ones always give me sync error. Besides - generally speaking - if we start to replace dll modules with old ones in new SYS to obtain kinda better work - we will finally get old build with new hexed number.Than it's no need to create new build - just patch dsm for higher ver. But that's my private point of view - the method of nothin works pretty well.

I also wanna remind the explanation from Microsoft - active process of ActiveSync is not a bug but a feature (sorry for tautology :) )
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yatlow:
i see.. now i understand why this rom has no xt9. but it still seems to be very nice. im sure will try your rom.. :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] parkhaus:
Thank you nothin! Your english is perfect btw!

I just tried out the following procedure (and failed):

1. I downloaded Anper NB0 kitchen (which seems really good) here, and unpacked all 3 archives.

2. I opened the WWE totally lite Romgalaxy.nb0 with it and dumped its content into a "DUMP" directory (lets call it Dump1).

3. I did the same dump with the Mobiz20 release (lets call it Dump2).

4. I looked up bt*.* modules in Dump2, deleted those names in Dump1 and copied them from Dump2 to Dump1.

5. This way, I hoped to exchange the Bluetooth parts in totally lite ROM with the ones from Mobiz.

6. I then repacked Dump1 with LZX compression, "corrected IMGFS parameters" and "combined NB0 and calculated CRC". All went fine.

7. I renamed Romgalaxy_new.nb0 (had the same size, but a few sectors free more or less) to Romgalaxy.nb0 and flashed it on the P525. Update ok!

8. The bootscreen appeared (tap the screen to set up..) but then the boot sequence stopped and apparently failed. :(

9. I reflashed the original totally lite WWE 21014, no problems now. But 97xx bluetooth....

I am not sure if my Bluetooth exchanging cannot not work this way or there was a problem with the kitchen tool. I think my idea is faulty... but give it a try, nice Rom kitchen tool! Lots of features! Neokit is also a good one.

and the ZTA4 program is really hackable using Reshack - it is possible to exchange the chinese menu with English letters. But one needs to find out what the functions are for beforehand. Maybe I'll do that when I have the time sometime.

Sir Andrew, in the meantime thanks for compiling the new 21014! A very good one, as I can see. More modern than the police allows :-)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :

I use the kitchen of Alexx~, based on vivi's, mrtoto's and anper's kitchens. I posted link long ago somewhere in Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking, but I'm lazy to look for the link. It's somewhere here. Serch for it if you are interested...

Sorrowfully anper finished developing his tools long ago. But he was the first guy!

For the moment I use his tools to embed xip_out.bin into the rom to create new template after porting new XIP. And for some other purposes....

parkhaus, I told you already - I do not include recent MS_Bluetooth from Microsoft into my roms - only basic OEM Bluetooth fom Asus. If you want to use that package - I will attach the modules here - you free to add them to your cooked rom.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] parkhaus:
Thank you, I found the link! It's here.

Do you still have to use the GSM fix for the recent ROMs?

If you could post the Bluetooth stack here that would be really GREAT!!

thanx in advance!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
Sure not. GSM fix normally is a downgrade of the telephone module to WM5. I do not use it. But it's up to you.

I have the modules to add to the unpacked SYS, or kitchen, or dumped rom. See the attach.
