Hi all,
I have downloaded a ROM from the ftp site which was a ZIP file containing many CAB files together with Autorun.exe, TPDisable.exe etc...
I know I have to copy these into the Extended ROM folder to then upgrade the ROM (or do I ??) but how do I remove the current files in there because they are all Read Only.
If this is not the correct way to upgrade the ROM, then how do I go about doing so ?
Many thanks
Cormac

I can't copy or move files stored in device ROM.
I've tried with Resco Explorer and Total Commander, but without success.
I didn't understand if there's a registry hack that allows these operations.
I've notice (or so it seemed to me) that I was able to substitute/copy/move some files having the ROM attribute, but many others not (eg: I've tried to copy the nleddrvr_sec.dll, obviously without success, otherwise I'd post this here!).
Surfing in many forums, I read many others asking for the same thing, unfortunately I haven't seen answers to their question about this.
Hope someone explains to me how to do or why is impossible to do.

You can not copy / move / delete files in ROM. Thats the point of "Read Only Memory"
These files are not stored as individual files but are in fact packed in a special way as part of the device image which can only be written (flashed) by special tools.
If you want to extract OS files you need to use a ROM dump tool.
I suggest you look in the WiKi.
What you can do is overwrite one or more "ROM files". What will happen in reality is that a copy of the file with the same name will be placed in storage memory and the system will go there. If you hard reset your device or rename the file it will go back to the original file.

As you said here and here (Changing Files in Windows Dir )
it's impossible to move/copy ROM files, just overwrite 'em.
Doing so the system looking for these overwritten copies.
So now the question are:
- there's a registry entry that points to this substitute ROM files?
- to modify an existent file resident in ROM I MUST dump my ROM or another one same or similar?
Mersì bo q, anyway.

Hi everyone,
My PDA support center distributes updated roms in "nb0" file format, I was wondering if anyone could help me throught openning this file and doing some modification. Since there are many unusefull applications inside it and I want to delete or subsitite them. I read some topics about cooking roms in forum but I cann't find any information about customizing "nb0" files.
Thanks!
Pedram
Fortunetly, I could dump content of ".nb0" file with tools provided here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249836 (Beta: WM5 ROM editing tool). I got pleanty of files in dump folder. It's har for me to diffrentiate which file is which!
Could any one help me to find my voice command application inside this dumped rom and repalce it with another voice commmand application such as MS voice command?
There are some files and directories with this name in my dumped rom:
VoiceBar.dll, VoiceCtl.dll, voicedll.dll, VBarCall.dll, VCOMCtl.dll
I am really confused! I do not know what files should I delete or where copy new files.
Thanks in advanced.

I have been working on a ROM for the past few days, and I just recently realized that I deleted the files required for Clear Storage. I have been extracting other ROMS that I know have ClearStorage, but I cannot seem to find the files required in OEMDrivers. Could anyone provide me a copy of the ClearStorage files?
I know Alex includes a version of ClearStorage in his package collection, but it is not the one from the shipped ROM, and therefore not what I am looking for.
Hi you can find this file in ROM Folders(Rar file which you are download). So go to OEM\OEMDrivers and you will find it and then extract it to your OEM\OEMDrivers folder.
I figured out my problem, I had show hidden system files disabled.
Been searching a couple days how to install rar files on to my Verizon XV6900 vogue with WM6.1. I am attaching one of the files I am tring to install, for general help. I can seem to install in activesync, from withing sorage card, etc.
Thanks, in advance
Dave,
Unless you have pocket Rar installed on you device you cant install as its zipped. Download a free RAR extractor on your PC, unpack it and you will find your CAB or files inside...... simply copy them/it to your PPC and voila
pocket rar is installed
I did zip the file to upload it, the forum would not accpt it in rar form. When I put the rar on my device ((XV6900 vogue verizon) WM6.1 ROM 3.14.605.1), I was able to unpack it but there was no cab. I upoaded it tthinking somebody would check the contents and help me out.

Sorry about that Dave, i mis-understood what you were trying to do It would help me if u gave me the link where you got the rar file as it would probably contain instructions as to where on ur device you need to copy the unzipped files to (like /windows etc). Let me know where you got the rar file from.
cant find original thread I d/l from
It was from rstoyguy
All I was basicall looking for for my phone was the Diamond Theme and the diamond dialer. I 'm pretty new to modifying my phones. I did flash the rom to the magicflo but went back. Is there a way to just THEME my current rom?
I would greatly appreciate if anyone can copy all the dll.0409.mui files from a OEM ROM of WM6.5 or 6.1 and then either zip or rar them and give me a link to download.
I know this is a HTC forum but I have no other place to get help. I own an hTY Q5 (ROM size=128mb) and finally managed to learn the proceedure to flash a new ROM, my phone uses the .img ROM file extention. Anyway I managed to snag a WM 6.5 ROM from a Chinese forum. Well it flashed and everything works properly but unfortunitly everything is in Chinese. I'm trying to purge the Chinese by what I have learned here. But certain files just will not let you rename them, right now most of my dll.xxxx.mui files are like this dll.0804.mui. I have managed to copy and rename a few files then paste back into the Windows folder. But some files won't even let you copy and paste into a differnet folder. I've been using Resco Explorer 2007.
I have been searching and working on this for weeks, Thanks for any help.
