I used a romupdate.exe from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BackupExistingRom and I dump it to my SD Memery Card (512MB). I get a 488MB raw file ... and i don`t know what to do next. I must have a extendend rom from backup or cabs from him.

if you have a working magician, then take a look in your windows directory for a file called "loadvdisk.exe" this will unhide your extended rom, then you can copy the required cab files to SD card.

hi guys / gals
i am using the big storage
as soon as i hard reset ... all the files of the ext rom that i have personally selected get installed one by one automatically !
just like when i used to have the ext rom !!
i have been using the following method for quiet a while now and am quiet surprised that many dont know about it !
this is TOTALLY the product of a very talented developer called ..TOENAILED (thanks man )
steps :
1) create a zipped file containing all the cab files of the extrom and any other if u want like resco , etc and name this .. ExtROM (please name exactly like this)
2) make a normal folder and name it 2577 and put the zipped file into it along with the "autorun" file i am posting here (so there r 2 files in the folder)
3)put this folder into yr sd card
4)hard reset .... and .... enjoy seeing the installation of the files as if u had an ext rom !!
and then go to the "memory" settings and see the 27mb and enjoy "not having" the ext rom !! Shocked
How about just applying the storage hack real-time, without installing any of those CAB's? I don't like them taking up my preciousssss space :wink:
Anyway, can you upload this file to the ftp?
ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]/Magician/
Cause the file doesn't appear to be downloadable anymore, i'd like to give it a try, thanks!
well thats a personal choice !
those files dont take up much if any of yr precious space
but
saves u the trouble of installing some of the small but very good utilities in the form of cab files like .. tray launch , psShutxp and some of the files form the ext rom
anyways
i have updated the file above and its working now
ps . even after installing all the files of the ext rom and a few extra and that too automatically after hard reset ... i still get 15+ in the both storage and programs sections on the memory slider 8)
please rename the autorun file exactly like this ... autoRUn
After upgrade to Big Storage, I would like to install the ExtROM file originally in O2Mini ROM. Can anybody tell me how I can proceed? I would like to have automatic execution of all CAB file in the EXT ROM.
Thanks !
Basically you need to copy the folder "Extended ROM" from your device to your Storage Card *before* applying the BigStorage patch, because obviously after the patch they are gone.
To do this, you must cold-boot the device, and after screen calibration do a warm-boot *before* it starts to install the Extended ROM programs.
Then you will see a folder "Extended ROM" in File Manager (it is hidden after the automatic installation of Extended ROM files).
It is advisable to make a backup copy of that folder on your PC, because the files are in CAB format which means they are deleted after installation (if you do not write-protect your Storage Card).
Then, after getting BigStorage, you need to open the folder on your Storage Card and start AUTORUN.EXE or START.EXE (depending on your version), thus simulating the process that happens after a Cold Boot with an existing Extended ROM.
1.Copy the Extended ROM files to My Devices
2.Rename folder name to Extended_ROM
3.Running AutoRun.exe file and waiting for reboot!
Install ExtROM File
Actually I have tried to make the copy of ExtROM files in Storage Card under folder name EXTROM and run "Autorun". But it was failed. I will try the suggestion again.
Thanks !

I've done my bigstorage and after that thinkinh to get back to the original ROM but before that I leave some files about 8mb in the storage and then flash the complete (original) ROM. After that i notice there is no more storage folder!. I tried to flash bigstorage again and hope it will get the 7.xxmb storage back. But the storage folder still not appear when back to the ori ROM. please help me how to get the storage folder back. thanks.
Did you try with an empty \Storage folder as well?

Ok using Bebe's kitchen from trib's cooking tutorial. I have some ext package folders that I am trying to paste into the Ext folders. When ever I do and wherever the platformbuilder crashes and I have to rebuild the Ext folder because deleting them out doesn't fix it. As soon as I rebuild (unziping original download) it all goes back to normal. I don't have cabs for these packages. Is there a way to paste ext package folders in there somewhere?
My suggestion is to download this and put it right into C:\
http://rghost.net/download/1353368/621cd1e433ea93137db5f7720d9e155ec0a758b6/CAB_Converter.zip
It is a Ext package creator.. You do use cab files and it makes ext folders from that cab..
I have every cab that I ever had turned into an Ext folder in my C:\CAB_Converter\Converted_EXT directory so I never lose the packages that i've created.
Whenever there is a new kitchen I just copy from that directory into the C:\kitchens\SuperJustKitchen\Working_Folder\EXT\SHARED\0096 directory of the kitchen directory.
If you need any Ext folders or .cab files post back here and I'll help you find them, chances are I already have it.
Thank you. I will try it out. I used the the built in cab converter for some cabs that i did have and had the same problems.
Guys im tired of using the sdcard to install android to my polaris as i always erase the andboot folder after everything so as to save space. I know you'd say "what space its a small file" yes but i just wanna know how to flash it comfortably to my NAND thru my PC USB connection like flashing roms with the upgrade utility. Thanks!!!
you are ridiculs but:
download customRUU.exe
copy the nbh file in the customRUU.exe dir
all the other files can't be flashed directly (the androidinstall.tgz must be in andboot folder)
lol thanks master l1q1d for the super response. actually i was dying to flash the android on my polaris immediately after my SD card broke. I had to install it thru usb since i have no sdcard. lll try that now.
i was actually looking for a way to copy the andboot folder to the phone memory after NBH flash, but im not sure that the phone memory has less memory to contain the boot files and the installation thereafter. I lost my sdcard and would wanna make the automation work without it. could this be possible? Thanks again.
No, you can't do it.
That does it. IT wont be. thanks
