HI, yes I wish we could, but the problem we have at the moment is the fact the the phone is set to use 96 dpi modules, and then writing over the top of that that is uses 128 modules,but not all gets overwritten, whats left over or course is 96 some of the dll's needed for our phone don't seem to exist this is the only way we could get it to work, the question mark is over the files that are not overwritten, we need to get hold of them, and then yes it will be fully 128 res.

So you guys are using the CiPhone? I want to ask if these chinese phones are a bit reliable. By other words: Have they finally produced a Copy worth buying? and is it stable? Is the build quality decent?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rolfey:
Well we all like it :)

I think for the money paid the phone is great! the touch is very good, some of the Iphone type apps like picture viewer are also very good, my phone has never crashed or anything like that...

it could be an even better phone once 6.5 is working perfectly! I suggest you youtube ciphone c6 as this is what we have, and is the best one on the market, although this is a clone phone, now it's really a phone in it's own right, to such an extent that you must make sure you don't get a fake cipone C6, I'm really not joking!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wouternet:
lawl, how would a clone phone of a clone phone work? also how do i determine that the phone is a fake, and not a fake from a fake?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wouternet:
Also somebody tried to use it with accessories for the real iphone? it seems to have the generic ipod connector. It's a shame it lacks a 3.5mm Jack connector. Also more important: How is it with day to day use? like a normal WMdevice? Like with texting, calling, using wifi(does it connect fast? my current KS20 is slow with connecting with a Wifi accespoint) Does somebody use the GPS with TomTom orso?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rolfey:
The best thing to do is not buy the phone off ebay, but go to a shop that you can return stuff to, I got mine from lightinthebox.com, but I think they are out of stock, I bricked my phone at some point due to cooking, and they replaced it no questions asked.

Day to day use, yes I think that you'll be fine with tomtom, I use google maps with GPS, they keyboard is very close to the iphone, this is the best thing abou the phone, I really like the keyboard, I work in IT and recently rolled out a load of HTC HD2's and although they are really sensitive I would ralther use the ciphone keyboard every time.

I don't know what else to tell you, but youtube it, what you see on there is pretty much how it runs.

I've got the Ciphone A, I have a feeling this is the better one.

C6t support?

Hi,

Due to a stupid mistake I have programmed the wrong ROM (intended for a C8 phone) to my C6T phone and partially bricked it.

There is nothing on the screen, but the phone does boot up and is connected over active sync to my PC?

Is it possible to program the Cifans 3.5.3.0 rom over active sync, as it looks like the phone doesn't want to get into download mode and boots straight into WM.

Would it work with RUU (ROMUpdateUtility)? Can the ROM binary file be converted to. Nbh file that is needed by RUU?

I would really appriciate any help with this issue.

Thanks in advance,

Eyal

Hi asger-shah,

The Kitchen will be up when all parts work 100% not earlier , sorry but it´s not only up to us to make that decision, ok ?

Currently we still have an issue in the repo

And it´s not only up to a kitchen for cooking rom, u also need working src´s that comes from M$, we have them but all has to be set in repo

Do not hurry , there was no kitchen before and no kitchen was ever mentioned

so pls no flames, beggin or other stuff, when it comes it comes

Anyway, u can use Hellmuth´s or Rolfey´s kitchen so long that works 100%

thank you

This "K3 first aid kit" works in which situations? I mean, I have a phone that can't enter into donwload mode, but I can tell if it syncs or not with the PC. I guess that WM doesn't load at all.

Just for curiosity, how did you got it working? Can you please share?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] eyalreizer:
K3 update helper

In my case i have programmed a wrong ROM to the phone.

The phone did boot up into WM (even though I didn't see anything on the screen) and active sync connected to my PC.

the problem was that this rom was not able to decode any of the phone keys, so I was not able to reset it to download mode .

When active sync was up the K3 utility was able to connect to the phone and reset it into download mode and from this point the firmware update utility worked.

Can someone pass along any tips?

Oh wow! I can't believe it! I had been reading this thread back when it started, and stopped somewhere along the way when some acrimony erupted between a couple of guys. Seemed like things were going nowhere.

But now you guys have a working ROM. Wow! Ok.. So I am in a similar boat, but with a different phone. I have the Sunno HDi, and while there are several forums dedicated to CiPhone users, there are none for us poor guys! :o

I have been playing for many, many months trying to find a kitchen and all the stuff the OP had been messing around with. Splitting files, joining files. Joined files not being the same size as the files they were split from... Sound familiar?!!

Basically, what I'd like to know is after all your work, is there a general procedure I can follow to decompile my Chinese ROM, add the new Windows build stuff, and recompile it to a flashable ROM?

The Sunno ROM is in an .img format, so its not a .bin. But if I know the general procedure, I can muddle my way through it.

Thanks guys for any help! I hope I can get *some* tips or help! :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rolfey:
Hi,

My original 1.2.1 kitchin will break down the sunno rom no problem, I've already tried it out when trying to work out the ciphone Rom.

Mike
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bipinsen:
Thanks for checking the thread, Mike. Following your lead, I even asked the question at ppckitchen.org, but ran into a wall there. Would you be willing to answer a few questions, or possibly help? I know this has nothing to do with your original intent in creating the kitchen, but asking never hurts! :)

If you want to consider answering a few questions, I can PM you, instead of hijacking this thread with questions on a different device.

I unpacked the Sunno ROM using your kitchen. I had to modify the batch file to work with the .img format of Sunno, instead of .bin. I run this first

osnbtool -sp hdi.img

and then let the batch file take over (after modifying the name of the output and input files). I also have a HDi kitchen from a chinese forum. I notice now that the header file size is different, and there is also no extraction of "Boot.bin". In the packing of the rom in the Sunno kitchen, these two files are used.

So basic question: did you use your kitchen to just take apart the Sunno ROM? Or can it also be used to put it back together?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rolfey:
In short, you can use my kitchen to pull the rom apart, I did use it to put it back together, but it's messy, and is not handling the packages properly, meaning that we had to do some stuff manually to get a fully working 6.1 cooked Rom, Needle was the one the really followed this side up, I carried on working on the kitchen after Hellmuth, and really Needle carried on after me. If I were you I would have thought it easier to just rename your bin to ciphone.bin rather than changing all the batch files to work with another filename - but it's up to you!!

If you can pull it apart, and a Sunno kitchen actually exists then I would put all the relevant part of the busted down rom into the Sunno kitchen that you speak of and use that to put it back together. any additional packages to choose to add are going to need a dsm file and an rgu file if your doing stuff manually, I think you will need to add this to the default.hv file/user.hv but hopefully the Sunno kitchen will do all this for you.

Mike
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bipinsen:
I've made some progress since I last updated this thread. I have made a new ROM out of build 23673. So far everything I've tried works (Wifi, Bluetooth, calls, email, browsing, etc.) except one thing - contact information. When I click on a contact, I just get a blank screen. Its driving me nuts. I must have posted this on a half a dozen boards, but since I'm not a HTC phone user, people pretty much ignore the question.

All I need to know is what files, or what package controls the display of contact information. Then I can go file by file and see why mine is not working. But no luck so far from anywhere. :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rolfey:
hmm, well maybe it's a sizing issue, it could be the cpr files, which are really just layout files, you could try looking there, other than that it could be that the modules used for application are the wrong resolution.

ciphone c6 white screen

Hi m8´s

I´m looking for a solution to get my phone back alive.

Due Bad Rom Flashing i bricked my Ciphone, i have checked severall

Boards & Forums to get the pinlayout for RX / TX / GND with no luck.

Phone is dead and doesn´t react on Power , or combination

Power/Volup/Reset/Star

The phone does just restart and only shows white screen

I opened the phone to check PCB for RX/TX mark with no luck

it has a 30 Pin connector similar to the Iphone/ipod

I f anyone has a hint for me would be awesome

thx

needle
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rolfey:
First of all, is this Ciphone pretty new?

Secondly, are you really really really sure it's bricked, when you hold down the power button, the button at the bottom and the volume up button, is it then that the screen goes white, if this is the case then it sounds as if it's not bricked, but the partition table is broken, you should be able to reflash the phone from this point even though the screen is white.

As I've been through this recently, you need to know for sure if your phone is a version 3 or 4, if this is reletivly new phone, check the manual that came with the phone, if it's a IP4 manual, then the chances are you have tried to use the wrong Rom. if however you are certain you have a version 3 phone, and you've flashed this phone before, I can only suggest that press the buttons in the order that you need to get to download mode, if it's successfull you will be propted by the pc to install the drivers for this flash mode, if you get this far I would think your in with a chance of recovery. then try to flash again with another rom.

please help...

thanks...

rayhargg
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] infobg:
Hello,

maybe the problem is due to an option in the old IDT versions where you flash the bios, so the phone is dead. To solve this problem you need a special flash cable to connect the pins to the circuit board. In the latest IDT version the bios flashing option is removed, so there is no risk to damage your smartphone during istallation of a new ROM version.

NeuronNetwork,

I have what I think is a visual representation of the Rom to make it easier for me, within the Flash partition - is this where the Flash file resides? and would have to be modified in order to point to the modified flash partition?

I can see from the partition names that all play their part in the loading of the OS.

I would just like to confirm though what partition it is that holds the OS, I take it that it is only one partition that holds the operating system? It looks as though the boot partition is obviously different of course?

is the OS partitions IPL?

Ciphone Kitchen V.02

Hi This is my first try of a CiPhone ROMkitchen

http://rapidshare.com/files/338409355/Hellmuths_K__che_7_letzter_versuch.rar

For This I tried to change a Rom Kitchen Made by VVVYKY for Eten x/V900 Phone http://rapidshare.com/files/266428786/X900_ROM_TOOLS_BY_VVVYKY_2.0.zip

I thought it should be easy.

At that place were here is OSNBtool there was an ETENtool to do the first step of extracting XIP an IMGFS

You only hat to start extracting after 10 min it was ready

Then you were ablte to change or delete packages or MUI-Language Files in the SYS- directory.

I never tried XIP porting untill now.

Then Run Build and Voila the rom was Coocked

My Hope in the beginning was to exchange ETENtool by OSNBTool. But as we know that's not that easy.

One more problem is when I extracted IMGFS and rebuild it with IMGFSfrom Dump it is much smaler.

But when I extract the smaler IMGFS.bin all files are inside I can't understand that.

@NeuronNetwork: So I hope you can take a look on it and give me a few hints (please forgive me all the .BINs inside)

@Rolfey: May be it is an inspiration for you how it could go on with the extracting and rebuilding of the flashfile.

Ahh, I see, well I would have thought that the easiest place to start off with would be to use the 6.5 Rom thats on Cifans currently in Chinese, if we use that as a base Rom, change the language first off, then we can produce some more complicated roms after that, but that 6.5 Rom is more or less a vanilla Rom, it has practically no mods at all.
