How can i change the os version that is shown when booting the device up? you know the one under the ipl/spl and gsm?

i don't know how to edit exactly, but im sure that done on the same base rom not on the sys or oem folders, because when you have 4.0.0.1 base rom and put sys and oem folders for another rom version on it, will show 4.0.0.1
about changing OS number and build you can find how to do it on wiki

It's done by hex-editing, but I can't tell you how. Perhaps someone else can shed some light on this.

C0rnholio got to the bottom of this in the Blackberry Connect hacking thread, post 152 here. Its really useful there as the blackberry connect software appears to be restricted to certain OS versions, but its a righteously heinous hack to pull off.
Anyone interested in modifying one of the wizard WM6 roms with this hack and posted the updated version? Another Rom builder was going to create a special BBC version of his ROM, but upgraded to another phone before he got to it....would be very useful to a small segment of the community!

hah finally worked it out...
Just about to test it, Put it this way...Get your IDA & ARM Assembly hats on lads because it isnt just plain ascii/unicode

I believe that WM6VoIP.CAB is for pocket pc.
well, i instaled it on my SPV E650, the plugin appears on the home screen but it says something like "Appels Internet: Service bloqué"... i think that Orange France does not allowed us to get acces or something like that.
Who knows how to make it work ?

Has anyone found a way to make voip work with this S710 device? Does it work with the .cab in this thread? I am desperately in need for such a solution.
I've now added a page showing you how to dump the ROM and extract files from it. It uses pdocread and viewimgfs.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Vox_HowToDumpRom
how to reflash tutorial would be useful
now that i have the dump, a reflash tutorial would be great
I also dumped my ROM according to the wiki, but I'm afraid there are files missing. For example "coredll.dll" (539040 bytes) which is read-only, hidden, system and in ROM does not appear in my dump. I found unicode references in Part00 or Part01, but the viewimgfs tool can not extract from these parts.
Anyhow, ftg888 is right, a flash tut would be highly appreciated
I've just updated the page with info on the Okta Boss (www.oktamobile.com) which was just released in New Zealand by Telecom NZ yesterday.
It seems to be a hybrid between the HTC S710 and S730, but is CDMA based.
I just recieved one today, so I'll be posting updates as I play with it...

Hi everyone
I wanted to share some good information and experiences I had with my phone as above
1. Backlight failure: Phone kept going black/no screen image. These people did a great job fixing it for me:
http://www.turnonyourmobile.com
Tel: 020-8543-7417
They are in Wimbledon and fixed the phone in 24 hrs. Price was just under £64all in (vat, carriage etc). This saved having to send phone back to Korea. I purchased it from an e bay shop, but no warranty passed along.
2. Software: ROM flash upgrade: this one worked really well for me.
See this link: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Vox & this one for the ROM
(but please follow all instruction to the letter!)
This was the very best link: Dr. Martin Gonzo's WM6.1 ROM
Download from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=376564
3. If you have problems with flashing, download this MS tool: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...8C-D587-47E0-908B-09FEE6EA517A&displaylang=en
4. Follow instructions carefully, different security settings may assist, but remember to reinstate the settings later
5. I am now a very happy owner of this phone and it does more than the original one I received
Enjoy your Phone
Wiki is being updated. I have added SPL flashing instructions. I will create a glossary as well.
OK, I made some changes. I created a separate page for USPL and linked it on the flashing page and on the main page!
EDIT: I also added some stuff to the glossary!
in china it's named C730..
I moved the ROM list to a separate page and put a link to it near the top.
I added some overclock info regarding the Rose V0.4 rom. It should work for other roms but at the moment its a manual setting - I cant get TornadoPowerControl to work.

New Hemli_c Rom For Apache...Thx Hemi!!!

This is a new rom which is still in the testing phases but works fantastic as I have been using it for a week. Here is a quote from Hemi_c post over at PPCGeeks.com
Quote from Hemli_c "the rom is with newest core available for apache device, and the rom size is big fat, so that why it can contain a lot of more space then any other rom for apache exist ( u might check my R2 it has a lot of big size APP) that will not possible with the current exist rom for apache...
the rom has a lot of new stuff, MMS 3.5.1.23 (Available is v3.0.16.16 ancient version), And WMP /Ringtones capabilities is now equal to newest hermes since it hub and Direct Show are new version (AAC, 3GP, AMR, MP4, Mp3, WMA, Wav, Midi, etc can be ringtone and play it with Windows Media Player), OS BUILT is 5.1.478 (old is 5.1.195), and other advantage and also its built with new kitchen method... but it still in testing phase... so some might not work correctly... For example WModem will not work if Microsoft Voice Commander is active... and anything else that I didn't know yet... please report issue when u hv them..."
Link to the rom: ftp://ppcgeeks:[email protected]/Apache/helmi_c/New_Core/helmi_APACHE_2.60.10_WWE_R2.rar

Hello from venezuela
Ok
That ROM is used for any operator as I telephone?
I am of Venezuela and have an installed AKu 3,5 in my apache and is compatible with my mobil Serbian operator.
It´s possible to clarify this point to me.
He excuses my English but he is quite bad
Luck and successes
Yes, any Apache rom should work as long as it is not designated as a carrier specific rom. For instance, some of the custom roms have the Sprint ExtRom built in. However, this rom from Helmi should work for all Apaches.

I have a sprint ppc-6700 and upgraded my rom to CE and just did a quick test so far so good..
I do have one question.. would it be possible to get a "basic/light" version of the ROM without so many apps installed.
For example without, Adobe reader, voice command, all the ringtones/pictures, SPB, etc...
Please let me know and thank you again for all your hard work

Why?
Just disable the stuff. It is not taking up any of your usable memory. Also, check out some of the custom roms that are available at ppcgeeks.com. They are all based off of Helmi's previous releases of 3.3 and 3.5
thank you for the suggestion for PPCGeeks... i went over there and downloaded/installed the "Clean and simple AKU 3.5 for the Sprint Apache"
seems to be just what I wanted.. thank you again

[REVISED] Autosculpt BETA 1.00 ROM Kitchen + Link Working!

UPDATE: I am posting a revised version of this kitchen because I noticed the version I uploaded had some nonworking buttons and I noticed lots of silly mistakes when I went back to the source code. I also have added a lot of exception handling. I also realized that by batch file doing the dumping had some errors.
Autosculpt 1.00 BETA REVISED
This is another ROM kitchen based off of bepe's PKGTool and BuildOS, uses Tadzio's improved IMGFS tools, and incorporates some simple Visual Basic code.
What you can do with this release:
Create a dump and make packages using PKGTool
Add/Remove packages
Create splashscreen, HTC Logo, and startup screen
Add splashscreen, HTC logo, and startup screen
Set all components of rom to one location for easy access to build (for lazy people like me who don't want to go searching)
(When this thing is finally released, G3 and G4 flashing support will be enabled)
Since the kitchen is still in its beta, I have disabled to option to flash the ROM to the device.
WARNING: I am not responsible for a bricked device if you choose to go ahead and flash the ROM to the device by starting up the RUU manually!
Last but not least, credit goes to bepe, maimach, tadzio, the-equinoxe for their tools that were used in this kitchen. Also, I thank Faria, mUn, mfrazzz, anichillus, Molski, and countless others who have directly/indirectly helped me understand about ROM cooking.
LINK for kitchen: http://www.sendspace.com/file/pm7az1

Anyone have any type of feedback? I'm kinda banking on that before I make a final release. I understand though if you don't have the time to test this.

Any feedback? I'm not releasing this 'till I'm sure that it works for other people too.
Please, if you have time, give me some feedback on this program. I've also stopped my GUI aWizard project because I want to finish this one first.

Cooking my own basic rom

Hi All,
first of all, so sorry if that i am asking for has already been discussed in any other thread.
I had read a lot of posts last two weeks with the purpose of understanding how to cook my own rom. Then, I've tried some distinct kitchens as well and had some success dumping existing cooked rom and modifing them by removing or adding packages to my convenience, just for test and practice.
Now, there something I don't understand how to do it: Can I build a rom based on XIP and SYS? I mean, my idea is to build a basic rom w/o any kind of modification or addicional packages. Then I could be able to dumped it, add all packages I'd like... it's to say "to cook".
So is it possible to create a rom only from SYS and XIP files? I've found this fantastic collection but don't know how to exploid it.
Here there are fantasics cookers, I'm really impressed by the job they do cooking roms. I hope you could give me some help to become a good cooker.
Thanks IA
What you will need to do is strip the OEM folder of all the programs you don’t want, including registry settings.
You will need to keep the OEMDrivers folder intact, or the Phone simply won’t function.
However tedious this task may be, in the end you get what you want.
Here is what I do (or try to do)
I've got SYS folder and Xip.bin, in this case the OS 5.2.20755 ones.
First, I extract Xip.bin with the Xipport Tool (dump Xip.bin, make packages and copying manually files and modules to a ROM/XIP folder
Then I paste both SYS and ROM/XIP folders at their place in the HyperCore kitchen (the best kitchen i've tried at the moment)
Finally I launch build os function, and here is the error!!!! Can't find the file c\....\hypercore\build\temp\BaseApps\imageinfo.bin
What am I doing wrong?
Yeah, probably I don't really understand what I am doing, and maybe I am skipping steps.
Someone could help me understanding the complete process? Please!!!
Please, someone.
Even I have the same problem.

[Resolved] [Q] Help with MT6589 based devices

Hi,
I thought this was not yet possible to port Cyanogenmod on Dual Sim devices, at least not properly, but then I saw this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2246874
It gave me a real hope for the generic MT6589 device I am currently using.
I am new to all of this, so I hope I don't bother everyone.
Also, my device uses obviously different hardware, but uses the same processor, so I managed to install the above ROM and got it working but without any screen display.
In other words, it was working, and I could see everything as far as the installation wizzard was concerned, so I thought I was fine, but then when I was done and it rebooted, I could not see anything on the display anymore, but the phone was still working working.
So I am assuming some obvious hardware drivers differences, and that the old drivers were still working till I restarted?
Is there a way to modify the rom to make it work?
What files would I need to pull from my device to add/replace in the posted ROM to make it worlk, if that is possible?
Or does cynanogenmod have to compile with the files of my device to work, even though the processor bit had already been done?
If so, I have no problem in trying to compile cyanogenmod from scratch, but I will still get the dual SIM problem, and I thought this has been fixed in this ROM.
So what modifications would need to be done to incorporate the DUAL SIM issue, and make it work, or has this already been resolved upstream?
Is there a github or such of the modifications and alterations that were done to Cyanogenmod for this posted ROM in order to get it working?
I am willing to use those files and port it to my device, but without these modifications, I will not be able to do anything, even though the kernel sources for MT6589 are openly available now.
Sorry for asking this question here, but I tried to reply to the original post and it did not let me.
Is it okay to ask this here?
If not, please excuse me, and if you can forward me to the right place.
Thanks and regards

I can see that, but I think with some patience I can do it.
Also, I have been using Linux for years now, and it seems I just need to figure out how things are laid out in Android.
And once I get used to that, then things become easier.
I am assuming that the linux kernel needs to be compiled with the specific drivers related to my hardware, right?
However, that would still not take into account:
- The changes made in Android/Cyanogenmod that take into account Dual SIM functionality
- How Cyanogenmod is actually laid-out, such as are changes done directly to stock android, or applied as patches?
I was thinking of the following:
1) Checking for the difference between stock Android and Cyanogenmod, and save aside the diff changes to make a patch file.
2) Then hope to find the sources of the stock android that has already been modified to work with MT6589, since these devices obviously use Android on them with some modifications
3) Then apply the patch made in (1) on these sources
Thus, I also need one important question answered:
If I were to download the sources for Cyanogenmod (which I already did), are the patches to the stock Android already applied, or are they placed in a separate folder, and applied on compilation?
I have this feeling that the above patches will probably not work out, because there will probably be extra functions, code that the patch will not be able to take into account, and will have some type of non-working or broken system, until I figure out what is missing.
I might get it to boot to a certain point (most probably shell like), and it would stop there.
Well, in either case, after writing all this down, I started to visualize more the hard part you are talking about, and this would require good knowledge of Android Code and structure.
Thus, if anyone can give me the required Cyanogenmod sources that have already been modified to work on an MT6589, or the diff patches between the normal and modified Cynogenmod, then that would be amazing.
Then I will have to only figure out at that point the propriety files I need to pull from the device, and specific vendor modifications.
Of course, I am just speculating, as this depends on how Android/Cyanogenmod is structured, and I could be completely off the mark, and have no idea what I am talking about.
Thanks

I can see that, but I think with some patience I can do it.
Also, I have been using Linux for years now, and it seems I just need to figure out how things are laid out in Android.
And once I get used to that, then things become easier.
I am assuming that the linux kernel needs to be compiled with the specific drivers related to my hardware, right?
However, that would still not take into account:
- The changes made in Android/Cyanogenmod that take into account Dual SIM functionality
- How Cyanogenmod is actually laid-out, such as are changes done directly to stock android, or applied as patches?
I was thinking of the following:
1) Checking for the difference between stock Android and Cyanogenmod, and save aside the diff changes to make a patch file.
2) Then hope to find the sources of the stock android that has already been modified to work with MT6589, since these devices obviously use Android on them with some modifications
3) Then apply the patch made in (1) on these sources
Thus, I also need one important question answered:
If I were to download the sources for Cyanogenmod (which I already did), are the patches to the stock Android already applied, or are they placed in a separate folder, and applied on compilation?
I have this feeling that the above patches will probably not work out, because there will probably be extra functions, code that the patch will not be able to take into account, and will have some type of non-working or broken system, until I figure out what is missing.
I might get it to boot to a certain point (most probably shell like), and it would stop there.
Well, in either case, after writing all this down, I started to visualize more the hard part you are talking about, and this would require good knowledge of Android Code and structure.
Thus, if anyone can give me the required Cyanogenmod sources that have already been modified to work on an MT6589, or the diff patches between the normal and modified Cynogenmod, then that would be amazing.

Wow... Even though I searched for so long, I did not find this.
I guess I did not know what to search for.
I thank you a lot.
I will probably take a while to learn how to use this, so I will disappear until I figure it out.
If I managed to do anything, then will come back and post my status.
Thanks again
