Hi porto72,

no problems from my side uncompressing the rar file.

I only got some problems with Win7 using the tool, but after changing to XP again, no problems in extracting the rom. Got some kind of syntax error in the merging procedure yesterday night, but havent had time to take a deeper look on it, will do it today after work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rolfey:
Hi Protexx,

this is just a guess without seeing anything, but it may be that the dump folder created by buildos in .\temp\dump did you copy over to the kitchen dir, this would mean the when the script tries to create a new imgfs.bin from the dump it's unable to because it's using the old dump.

This is just a guess of course at this point, but worth a look.

Disaster!!!

After making a dreadful mistake when merging with IDT I have managed after 100 zillion flashes to not check properly that the super important IPL partition was selected and chose the XLDR twice.

In terms of phone merging this has to be the MOST important thing to check, if the wrong partition is in the wrong place you are going to end up with a paperweight, and as a result of my complacency I've done just that.

I'll be sending my phone back to the place that I purchased it hoping that they don't suspect foul play, but I doubt they will be able to tell as the phone wont boot at all, which is no surprise without the IPL partiton, so, I'll be out of commission for a few weeks probably, but keep an eye on the thread,

BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU MERGE USING IDT, DON'T DO THE SAME AS ME!

Hi rolfey,

sorry to hear that m8. What about making a tutorial on your kitchen, maybe how you managed to change the iContact, think that would help all a lot and will prevent for that issue you just have had.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rolfey:
The Icontact thing has nothing to do with the partition problem I have, that was just caused be my not checking properly the partitions that I had selected, I was in a rush and this is the result.

To update or add packages you need to download a cabtopkg tool, it's pretty straight forward to use it, you download and extract this tool to your c drive, then run, select the cab file you want to use as a package, follow the instructions and your done, then you should have a packaged folder with everything you need, you take the contents of that folder and copy to oemdrivers before buildOS runs, also make sure that you check out the txt files contained in the package, make sure that all the names and paths are correct as I had to rename all the files in the new package removing all the zero's, make sure the txt files is the same. This will make more sense when you actually look.

Once you have all this sorted run buildOS as usual and that's it, Oh also make sure you remove the old Icontact stuff from oemdrivers first before doing any of this.

Mike
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rolfey:
Protexx, I have tried really hard to make sure that when the kitchen runs, it gives you a good idea of what it's doing, if you want to study further, you can always take a look at the batch file, it's all in sections :) I can try and answer any bits that your not sure of :)

Same thing happend to me, still stuck in reanimate the phone... i´ve ordered a new one, this time a c6a... waiting for my flashcable and then trying to meassure the rx / tx ... since they should cover 2.7-2.9 Volts if phone is on !!! if i have all parts together i´ll post my results....

Hi,

I've read your several posts and think that, if you'd be so kind, you could help me on this one:

I purchased a ciphone C6 from lightinthebox last December 2009. The g-sensor doesn't work, can't see youtube videos and twice already there was an unexpected reset and (almost) everything/personal data I had was lost.

Contacted the "client's support" but they seem more like "client's give up".

So, I've looked into forums and tried to update the phone with a new IP ROM version, 3.5.3.0; as I wasn't sure of the type I should download, sent "client's support" an email to check the version ("a", I'd seen in settings/device info/platform and found "C6a 3.3.2.0").

The answer they've returned me was "We are sorry to tell you our product can not be updated or changed the software"!

I was not very convinced because they keep telling me to return the phone back- but that is not a real option as I wuold have to support the expenses that are around 210€ on DHL and they don't guarantee a refund.

Sorry for being so cumbersome but could ou help me?

Can I update the phone's IP ROM?

Shall I do it?

Thanks,

Joao

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rolfey:
jmonny, the quick answer is yes, I also purchased my phone from lightinthebox, I've found them really quite good, but not for technical questions, I also have the A version, it's quite updatable, and I've updated to every rom that they have on Cifans - including the Chinese versons.

As Hellmuth says, go to the Cifans site and ask there for guidance, if you don't get what you want from them come back here and I'll go through what you have to do with you :)

Hi m8´s,

First i would like to thank you all which helped to build the "WORKING" kitchen, yeeeeeahaaaa

i run Hellmuth´s kitchen, didn´t tried rolfey´s yet since i´m stuck at the XIPPort window, could you please give a small how-to on the steps rolfey ? thx

I finally created my first pure German ROM, i preinstalled opera10, PHM Reg, TotalCMD and others things via OEM Packages to it, after i tried to preinst NETCF3.5 the problems show´s up,i deleted old NETCF dir in SYS , placed new NETCF3.5 to it it is selected/regognized via BuildOS , after the build process is done and device flashed, i installed screen_rotate which need´s netCF3.5, and it blames about "error loading component .... please reinstall ..."

i checked the reg , and is still present CF 2.0.7045.00 is still set to "1" , how or where comes this from ?

no entry from the netcf35 only netCF35_messages_german is present

my netCF35 *.rgu

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Apps\Shared]

"\\Windows\\mscoree.dll"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\.NETCompactFramework]

"3.5.7283.00"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\.NETCompactFramework\Installer\Assemblies\Global]

........

any idea what i´ve missed ?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] porto72:
Thank you needle2k I sets to see if I can adapt him(it) for C5 but in French

Merci needle2k je prend pour voir si je peux l'adapter pour un C5 mais en français

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] needle2k:
Np Porto,

language doesn´t matter@NETCF :)

i figured out that the default.hv contain the old .NETCF 2.x reg entry´s ...

what is that file all about anyway ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] porto72:
Yes I saw but too late ;);)

Oui j'ai vu mais trop tard ;);)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] needle2k:
I think i made a step forward to the reg settings on the device for NETCF3.5,

if u extract ROM there are 2 files written in dump folder:

default.hv

user.hv

in these files the reg is set.

u can edit this files via

@cls

SET _FLATRELEASEDIR=.

echo REGEDIT4 > default.txt

RGUCOMP -o default.hv -nologo >> default.txt

and

@cls

SET _FLATRELEASEDIR=.

echo REGEDIT4 > user.txt

RGUCOMP -o user.hv -nologo >> user.txt

what i´m little confused off is why i have a *.rgu in the OEM package if it doesn´t get grep´d in build process ......

could be missing step in build process to generate a new default.hv / user.hv?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] needle2k:
After messing arround with the default.hv i finally cooked .NETCF 3.5 into the ROM

here is what i did:

i replaced all netCF2.0 with the 3.5 (taken from oem package) in the hive file, make shure u leave netcf version=1.0.0.0 stuff inside, because after i tried screen_change app which needs cf35 it blamed about a 1.0.0.0 module

Hello everyone, I have my phone back, so I'll be back on course!, I have almost forgotten how my kitchen works! lol

Needles it looks as though you've made some progress anyway - well done!

I will not set about getting this 6.5 rom working, Needles I may send you a pm regarding updating the rom's and what you've discovered about the ciphone, just to compare what I was doing before my phone went down.

Happy for you rolfey that you your telephone is to recover, in fact it is what ace C5 or C6, because I I have C5, and I do not move forward for the very good reason that I am far from having your competence, if it uninterrupted I to pay 50 euros and to send my telephone to Hi-Tech News. According to Hi-Tech News he are going to stop the production of C5, besides on their site it have already taken away. I have almost forgotten how my kitchen works On this good courage, in principle it is not forgotten, it is as the bike

Content pour toi rolfey que tu est récupérer ton téléphone, au fait c'est quoi que as un C5 ou C6, car moi j'ai un C5, et je n'avance pas pour la bonne raison que je suis loin d'avoir ta compétence, si cela continu je vais payer les 50 euros et envoyer mon téléphone à Hi-Tech News. D'après Hi-Tech News il vont arrêter la production du C5, d'ailleurs sur leur site il ont déjà enlevé. I have almost forgotten how my kitchen works.

Hi Rolfey, needle and everyone i was just wondering if you guys could supply me with the kitchen you 2 are using as it been ages since i've been on this and was wondering if you could give me a brief tourtorial with your new kitchen it would be great and also needle can you give me the opera 10 files that allow you to watch flash files as i've tried many versions from xda and neither seem to work for me

Thanks

Asger shah
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] needle2k:
Hi Asger shah,

could you check your connections about the dependencies (display and drivers) files for each c6 type ?

about opera, not all flashsites get show´n corectly, always depends on build (flash 10 doesn´t work due WM flashplayer) but youtube works fine, just grab flash_lite 3.x opera 10 enable plugins in browser setting
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] needle2k:
Some Updates,

i´ve ported the WM6.1 from 20954 to 21054.1.5.0

for me it feels to be a littlebit faster....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rolfey:
New Kitchen.

Needle did you get a working 6.5 Rom? just to keep you all updated, I've got my 6.1 kitchen to a point where I couldn't do that much more with it, I've been working with with one of the devs from ppckitchen, he is adding support for our phone to ppck, this is a much newer kitchen that will do a lot more than my scripted kitchen, he has used my kitchen to see how and what it does and is now taking to the next step, being a developer he is doing stuff that is out of my league, but I am assisting him with all the work he's done - and there has been a considerable amount!

It's come to light that there is an inherent issue with our stock XIP, and he is in the middle of sorting that out before we get to the fully ppck 6.5 kitchen, as usual I'll keep you all posted :)

The only thing that I ask of all the people that follow this thread is that when this new kitchen is released, if you would consider donating a nominal amount to this developer - he really really has spent hours on this on our behalf :)

as I said, I'll keep you all posted!

Mike
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] needle2k:
i played with a wm6.5 version but my prob is getting the dependencies of the devices, since this is based on c6T, device starts but screen stays white, did u get arround that ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rolfey:
I did have a booting 6.5 kitchen, sort of, I used xip kitchen to port the 6.1 xip.bin to merge with the 6.5 and produce another new one, It booted and I got the configure the screen, but then the ui was trashed completely.

Needle or Rolfey help?

needle i only have the c6a and you already have the display drivers ect but anyways i need to know if you or rolfey could give me the 100% working kitchen for download with a small instructions on how to use it it would be greate as i want to cook a wm 6.1 rom with a different ui pls can you upload it.

Thanks

Asger shah
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rolfey:
I thought you had a working kitchen mate?

you can use my kitchen if you like, then create packages using cab2oem, place the packages in oem or sys, edit the either *.hiv to reflect the new packages (Needle know about this in some depth) and then select the packages now showing up in buildos, cook!

if you use the base Rom for your phone then you will have the correct drivers!

I would think the pure ROM would be the best to start with, and then go on from there.

Hopefully I will soon be able to give you all a working modern kitchen, I'm working with a developer right now and undergoing nightly tests, as soon as I have anything at all that you can all use, I'll make you aware of it.

I don't yet know what changes he's made to the xip, he's literally pulled it apart completely to see how it works, I'll find out more in time.

Yes Sorry for the lack of updates, we do have a working rom, but there is an issue with the resolution, currently there is a mix and match going on regarding the modules, but this is causing a problem with the menubar being too slim, and the buttons on it looking really choppy, Asger, contact me as soon as you can as I know you have the sunu rom, we may be able to take the modules out of that to remedy the probelm.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spiaatie:
It's better not to mix files from sunno ROM.

CiPhone c6 is a HVGA device.

So, (as I see from screenshots build 23563 is used) just take the correct resolution and everything should be ok.
