I first had trouble of the sort with my new credit card; it actually came from a safety system they tried to plague upon their customers, to force them to use only "virtual" cards on the net; I had to insit for that, but they finally took the "lock" away, and I now can "normally" use my card again with paypal.

Maybe something like that with your bank? (If so, and if the banker first says the card cannot be unlocked, as it happened to me, why no bring to his attention how Paypal, or Amazon would feel and react against banks messing with their net business?)
[TG01 ROM Development] WenWM:
Sure, ill do that this afternoon when I talk with everyone and see where we are going with this.
[TG01 ROM Development] bib*oops:
Thanks a lot!!! You've just enlightened me: you're totally right(I think)[ I'm in same situation like you, because more often I try to pay with my card(s) I got some message like:your bank do not allow this operation...(or simillar).]

I' ll contact my bank(s) to get things right!

any news on an new spl unlocker developed for TG01 yet wen, just noticed ya have hit a brick wall on ur wmpoweruser site.
[TG01 ROM Development] WenWM:
Okay guys it seems only 3 guys can help with the unlocker and I asked flar to contact them for me olinex(cmonex and olipro working together) and I also posted it on wmpoweruser asking if any unlocker or hardcore cook would help to get this cracking with an SPL http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=13440 so lets hope someone can.

My friend says maybe we should just port the TG02 ROM but.....
[TG01 ROM Development] serialkillazzs:
but...

I know TG02 not released yet.

i sent an email asking toshiba to collect and repair my TG01 just to see if they might leak info of a possible 6.5.3 update!.

Reason being, mobile world is finished for them and windows phone 7 confirmed.plus the call quality is starting to bug me now!!

just wish guys would help unlock radio stack

toshibaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

general toshiba incompetance, i do not know hows this company survives!!

when will companies learn that with regards to phones they have to

1. alert you to a phone call

2. hold an audiable conversation

basic fundamentals which this TG01 cannot do

the radio stack is the most important without out it any phone is useless
[TG01 ROM Development] DunkDream:
Let's just wait for the WMPU WM6.5.3 Rom.

I think that will solve many problems.

@Wen

Did you already contact olinex?

Do they want to help us cracking the phone?

Best regards,

Manuel
[TG01 ROM Development] WenWM:
@DunkDream

I am not sure, I will have to ask Flar if she got a response... Lets hope they do, because that would make this more possible.. faster.

I am already mad that the ROM has not been made by now.

Hello Wen,

how close are you to getting a working ROM for the TG01? Have you brought a test device with the donations you received?

I have heard the issues with the call quality will be resolved within the next couple of weeks.

@Wen(WM) some time ago I sent You a PM about who You should contact (i wont give his nickname here cause i don't want to make people spam his PM box) he really made some discoveries about flashing TG01 .

[TG01 ROM Development] WenWM:
The ebay guy? if thats him he knows nothing.. when I asked him how he flashed it... he said "SPB mobile shell" so no help there... I am talking to Cmonex instead.
[TG01 ROM Development] WenWM:
No, I dont know who or what to do with the money yet.. I wanna have the plan all ready before I buy the phone for someone.

Next couple of weeks? maybe if we are lucky
[TG01 ROM Development] ady_uaic:
i think that we have to buy a htc :D (just kidding).
[TG01 ROM Development] serialkillazzs:
next couple of weeks my TG01 might be gone by then fingers crossed.

15mths gone on my 3 contract so might be investing in a HD2

IS the hd2 a loud phone, compared to a nokia n95/n95 8gb
[TG01 ROM Development] cedesmith:
Come on, it should not be that hard ask someone who has prior experience with this kind of stuff.

As of now I know the following (witch may be wrong ) :

tsw is encrypted with DES: key 54470152

unencrypted file looks something like:

dword address of modules table

dword address of module data

string data that contains information about image name, device name, flash chip, etc.

modules table contains dword offset???, dword unkown1,dword unknown2, char[4] name

modules in table are MIBI, SIM_, FSBL, OSBL, AMSS, EFS2, DSP1, FOTA, APPS, APPS, WMB0, WMB1, WMB2, WMB3.

I looked at RO and UK official roms and what differs if unknown1, and unknown2 of WMB3.

some modules are uncompressed, if you search for “SD Downloader” you will find it meaning that downloader ( first program ??? FSBL ??? ) is uncompressed and someone with experience could recognize header, dump and disassemble.

A lot of compiler information is present containing name of .c file witch could provide some clues.

Toshiba encrypted the file can mean that format is so simple it needed encryption.

TG02 and K01 are coming and will probably use same file format, encryption.

Ask Toshiba to throw us a bone!.

They seam serious about getting into phone business and they need community much more then we need custom roms.

The fact that every tech geek drops his TG01 for a double priced pice of same thing with HTC logo on it can't be a joy for them.

No one that drops TG01 for a HD2 will not make the same mistake again and buy a tosh to have it replaced in couple of months
[TG01 ROM Development] bib*oops:
Good point of you and straight said!

Toshiba, do you hear this?
[TG01 ROM Development] (InsertNameHere):
Judging by how slowly they are bothering to release even a radio rom update, let alone the fact they are not going to bother to release 6.5.3 for the TG01, plus the fact they are palming us all off with saying said radio update is 'in testing' , i don't think they give a damn, if Toshiba do read this thread, then they know we are all suffering

So Orange UK don't care, Toshiba don't care, what choice do we have but to jump ship?
[TG01 ROM Development] nico101:
No it's someone from xda I've sent to You another PM with one of PM's with info what he done till now.

@who_care and/or donated: we needed no money or donations to start, we needed a 'xda developer' who could figure the format of Toshiba .bin file (.tsw decoded with Cotulla's tools).

if you still wonder: you probably got played by Wen. The fact that he does not inform you (payers) about progress, with who (and if) he talked makes me almost sure of it.

About progress the facts are:

- we need someone who could understand the format of rom file ( bepe comes in mind but probably are a dozen here)

- he have the original rom, tool to uncrypt it, and dumped WM partitions.

- i am willing to write the programs if somone provide the info

- a lot of users here on xda post just to post, few really knows what they are talking about and about none willing to help.

6.5.3 rom

it would be nice to have a 6.5.3 rom with crappy radio stack tho and with most bugs fixed and htc sense.im happy with mine on 3uk 3g signal,pity 3g drains battery a bit tho.

android development would be cool tho.

[TG01 ROM Development] DunkDream:
Hey Wen,

did you already contact someone?

At the moment it seems to me, that everything stopped for the TG01.

If that's right, than I think that you should give all the people their money back.

Maybe we find an SPL unlocker that we can give the money. I think an unlocked SPL would be a very good step in the right direction.

Did you contact someone because of the SPL-unlocking, Wen?

Best regards,

DunkDream
[TG01 ROM Development] WenWM:
Sorry guys, I have been sick this whole week, and havent gotten a chance to give you an update/response.

I am sorry you guys feel I am "Playing" you. I am not quiet sure why I would have the intenstion of "Playing" you. I don't need your money.

The reason I still have your money in my account sitting there is because I dont want to buy something for anyone unless I know they can do something for you guys.

I am still waiting for Cmonex's reply. and it doesnt seem that will lead me anywhere.

I have been getting alot of links to people that could help, but they all either dont care, dont want to or dont know how to.

I still need to find someone that wants to... and thanks to Toshiba and their worthless way of encrypting, that is near impossible.

I will keep trying with the 4 big unlockers and I will even try and take the other guys software and give it to one of our own software hackers to try and finish what he started...

But if you guys do not trust me enough and think I am "Playing" you, then I am sorry and I will be glad to give your money back, because I dont want to help someone that thinks bad of me and degrades my name without knowing me. And the worse thing is, I dont even own a TG01, so I get NOTHING out of this, I am just nice enough to spend my time trying to help people that I think need my help.
[TG01 ROM Development] WenWM:
I know right.. I mean they could have had the common decency of having something atleast worth while clicking :D hahah just kidding
[TG01 ROM Development] WenWM:
You are very right... and that is were I went wrong. But you can also think about it this way... without the phone, NO one can unlock it. so either way I would have needed a device right away. I can just send it to I3v5y, but then I am not that sure yet.

I talked to one of the famous crackers here in the forum and he wants to know the progress of the Rom Development.

I think it would be nice, if someone could make a list what exactly is needed to be done, to get a working WM6.5.3 custom Rom flashed on the TG01.

Thanks in advance for you help!
[TG01 ROM Development] bojan6:
We need a decompressing tool fro bin file. We have a tsw file witch is the official ROM transformed in bin file. So now we need open it and start cook.
[TG01 ROM Development] DunkDream:
Okay, but I have a question.

Do we not need a hard-spl for the TG01 so that we can flash an unoffical rom to the phone?!

I thought every phone need to get a hard-spl first...otherwise you can't flash a custom rom onto the phone.

Can somebody confirm this?
[TG01 ROM Development] bojan6:
I think NO because we have from one part SDDL+ from stepw who permit to flash all EU ROMs except Asian. And we can flash with short pin to. Bud if he can do some hard spl is better.
[TG01 ROM Development] nico101:
Hard SPL was needed for devices that could not flash roms in other languages try to flash O2 rom on Orange locked HTC phone and vice versa...

On TG01 we can flash any language roms so theoretically we can flash a custom rom too. But noone knows what will happen when you'll flash a messed up cooked rom(if the shorting pin's method will help in this case?)

What we need is someone smart enough that will get what is exactly stored in TG01 bin files why these things are there and make tools to unpack everything and then pack files again into identical format bin file.
[TG01 ROM Development] bird_9527:
HI DunkDream, because I have a japanese version device, I can not flash ENG ROM or other rom to it, it only can be flashed by japanese ROM.

in fact, the japanese rom is quite awful for me ,it is not convenient enough to use because I am a chinese.

So the most need for me is how to flash the other ROM to my japanese device, many people on the forum want to solve this question too,like me.

So I hope you can consider my condition, sorry for my poor english.
[TG01 ROM Development] cedesmith:
hi.

Just to be clear: I AM a software programmer and I am doing it for a leaving for last 10 years, I have programmed from x86 assembly, c,c++, c#, php,etc to microcontroller based devices ( so I know a very little electronics to, even designed some electronic boards).

Also this is not my first account here but original one contains full name and hacking devices and even more making cooked roms are on the edge of legality.

@wen I have to apologize if I have been to harsh, I am bitter and a little angry at xda developers and was angry of you for not listening and reading posts.

While users here are active and willing to help the developers are not and most of the time their answers are crap just to get rid of you.

It is extremely frustrating to have to read a 1000 pages thread of nonsense just to find 5 posts that would help and/or ask someone a question and get a crap answer.

Back to subject:

What we need is a hacker to understand format of .bin (unencrypted .tsw) .TSW can be decrypted for 2 weeks now and as I said before anyone can take a look into it and see clear text strings from programs.

TG01 DOES NOT NEED Hard-SPL, it is not a HTC.

From what I know ( and I have a HTC Touch Dual witch I HardSPL-ed ) SPL ( Second Program Loader ) is responsible for loading Operating System and/or writing new ROM. Original HTC SPL checks the integrity of the ROM and if not original ROM it doesn't complete last 1% ( or so ) of NAND write.

HardSPL is a cracked HTC SPL that skip the checking of ROM signature and skips writing SPL from ROM ( so it doesn't overwrite himself and one can recover a phone from a defective ROM).

The part that is analogue to SPL in TG01 is SD Downloader ( SDD from now on ).

It does the same thing but differently SPL does it over USB, SDD from storage card.

SPL checks CID, SDD does not and leaves it to windows program TG01_SDDL.exe. That is why stepw was able make sddl+, it just told SDD file is ok, go ahead and write it.

SPL checks the sign at end of the writing because then it has all the file, SDD could do it before starting because it has access to file on card but I don't know because we only have original toshiba roms.

One could check by decrypting .tsw modify a byte on it ( in a unused wallpaper file for example ) encrypting it back and writing to the phone. WARNING: DOING SO CAN BRICK YOUR PHONE

One day probably will be a HardSDD that will prevent SDD section of flash being written but till then BE WARNED: WRITING A BAD SDD (SD Downloader) WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE FOR EVER.

Short pin will not work on a bad SDD as shoring pin is analogue to key combination on HTC to bring SPL screen. It just loads SDD.

Cheers.

anyhow back to washing dishes
[TG01 ROM Development] jk2207jk:
But then surely, you can just change the SDD to the original, and then do short pin, that way, it'll load the original SDD, and flash the ORIGINAL .tsw back on your device? Or am I getting confused? :o
[TG01 ROM Development] cedesmith:
No you could not. Is like overwriting windows on a PC without a CDROM, usb, or floppy disk.

You need SDD (SD Downloader) to change SDD to original but you don't have SDD working.

Only way to fix it would be to program FLASH chip directly in a repair center, with special hardware tools ( equivalent of get a CDROM ).

sd card 6.5 update

surely the sd card 6.5 update provided by toshiba for orange has access to phone, ie. read and write.

can u not see if u can get a bootloader installed via sd card.

must be somethin in sd card update surely that can be tweaked hacked
[TG01 ROM Development] cedesmith:
I ask for a hacker, someone to make a tool like ImgsToDump.exe for HTC, or at least figure out how to.

I have experience with programming but not with hacking ( well not enough )

guaranteed to work only with toshiba ROM and bricking by accident (remove power) not bad rom files

no ty.

i have a tg01, when we have the tools and i will be confident that is ok will test on mine.

no point on bricking any device just to do so..
[TG01 ROM Development] cedesmith:
update is just a file on SD it has access to nothing and it does nothing.

SD Downloader already on phone has access to phone and does writing to flash.

In ROM file you have a SDD that will replace SDD currently on the phone.

If you have in ROM file a broken SDD will replace your current one on the phone and you will be left with nothing that will look for update file on sd card.
[TG01 ROM Development] jk2207jk:
Oh right...my bad

So maybe someone could develop something like the PSP Pandora Method(PSP's is where I specialize in :D)

A little app that starts up of the (Customized IPL) Memory Stick with a Pandora Battery(something that boots the device into service mode)

Basically the PSP(or if someone can get it to work with phones :)) is told to boot up from the memory stick, which the has a very basic GUI, with several options, the main one is the Flashing option.

This then flashes the Firmware of of the Memory stick to the NAND Flash, and restores your bricked PSP...neat

Then your back to square one...:p

I'll mess around with the SDDL, and Pandora stuff, and see what's similar etc...

I'm no programmer though, so don't get ya hopes up...

(If I do however get something going though, it means that we'll have more re-assurance when flashing custom roms :))
[TG01 ROM Development] WenWM:
Well I see we do not need an unlocker then... so we actually need a hacker / programmer.... I am talking to the best guy I know, but he is quiet busy.
