we are trying to unlock and or dump the rom on the treo 750v. this is a newly released treo made by htc. the treo has an awesome feature called theeaded sms which does chat style sms.
we have tried the grab it program that was on this site with no luck.
does anyone no of a way to get this done? does any have any ideas of why the grab it program doesn't work. does anyone want to help?
thanks, cody
So far we've manage to get someone to try the grab_it tool from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=238945
But they are getting a write error. I assumed since the Treo 750v uses a mini-sd card the appropriate version of grab_it would be grab_it_128_minisd_468.exe. I'm trying to get someone to try the grab_it_128_150.exe version to see if that works, since that is the version BeyondTheTech used to extract the Treo 700w rom. The 700w uses a regular sd card though.
I asked the guy that tried grab_it_128_minisd_468.exe what the storage card folder name was set to and they verified that the registry was set to "Storage Card". So it's unclear to me why they are getting a write error. Maybe the minisd version expects something else? The card used was a 2GB minisd so it should have plenty of room for the rom.
Anyone familiar with grab_it know what is different about the minisd version? I read through the thread but it wasn't clear to me what the difference is.
Ok, I'm the one who's run the grabit tool on a 750v
It runs Ok and creates a 128Mb dump.bin file but the file appears to be mostly empty. If I zip the file up it only takes 147Kb which seems to confirm this. Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug in the tool
i have hope 750v user and appreciate your efforts

Can you upload the bin file please. I think someone here may be able to figure this out by looking at the contents of it.
If anyone has a source for a unlocked 750v let me know i really need one.
File and registry dump.

Hi, please can you do me favor? I have idea which can help us get SMS threading application and other palm features as well. If isn't possible dump ROM in this moment can you download Total Commander (freeware) http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm and do following.
1, Create foder on memory card and go to the Total commander.
2, go to the root of your device and copy to SD everything what is possible specially from Windows folder and Program Files (rest will be fine as well)
- this will take some time and in case of problem with file just skip that file.
3, When this will be done please go into the "\\" in the root and then to "registry"
4, now select registry tree one by one and copy again to card.
This will give us most probably files which will be required for hack and registry keys which will be required as well i think.
Thank you very much for your help.
Here's a zipped up copy of the dump.bin file, hope it helps
I extracted that dump.bin and it looks like a 256 byte block of data that is repeated at each 16 meg boundary 8 times.
Does this ring any bells to the experts?
The only readable text is "CHEETAH IPL EVT".
wow! that's great!
I don't have a Cheetah, but there's some info on the hermes forum that might be of interest to you:

750v_User please try this program to extract the rom image.
unzip and copy TestDump.exe to your device and run it. In the "Path to file" enter the path for the dump file (i.e. \Storage Card\dump.bin). In the "Mbytes to dump" enter 128. Then press the "Dump" button. It should make a dump of the ROM file.
Zip it up and upload here. Thanks!

Thanks. That post appears to be for updating the rom. I wonder if there is some key combo like this to extract the rom.

Based on the Hermes experience, there's no knonw way yet to extract it in a form that after is flashable on another device, but you can follow these instructions to dump some parts:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoDumpRom
You can also use pmemdump to copy some of the ROM contents to a file. Once you've dumped SPL you can search for strings on it and you'll see the bootloader commands.
HTC has removed all the "d2s, s2d, r2sd..." and like commands in the hermes bootloader, probably you are lucky and you have some command to dump the rom to sd in your bootloader.
Hope that helps
The ROM dump // extract discussion is over my head...one question though has anyone sorted out how to unlock this device?

just tryin to help........

750v ROM dump uploaded
I put a rom dump from the TestDump.exe tool on ftp.xda-developers.com. userid: xdaupload pw: xda
file: treo750v_dump_rom.zip
I used the dumprom tool to extract files, but it looks like it's only extracting the first rom section it finds and stops. Can one of the experts take a look at the dump and see if you can extract the other sections please.
Thanks.
What are you getting from the first rom section?
Sounds weird... was the dump complete?
It looked like a bunch of system files. The kernel, img.dll, filesystem drivers and the like.
There is 59MB of data in the dump so there has to be more stuff in there.
I have been toying with the idea recently of brewing a ROM that is entirely my own, something that fits my needs perfectly. However, I am having trouble figuring how to go about doing so.
1. Basically, what I want to do is to start with a stock AT&T ROM, strip everything out of it, then only add back in what I use. It would seem simple enough, however what gets me is that when I extract the AT&T ROM, most of the applications seem to be contained within the OEMAPPS folder, with no simple way to sort through it. Sure I could just delete the folder and re add what I want, but thats not exactly what I had in mind. I would really like to pull out all the apps from that folder into their own individual folders so that I can keep anything if I feel like it while not having to keep everything. Does anyone know how to do this, or if there is any way other than doing it manually?
2. If I want to have registry tweaks installed on the ROM, what is the best way to go about doing so?
3. I have been searching and searching, but I cannot seem to figure out where the image that appears after the device splash screen is stored. Can someone point me in the right direction? I know Alex has his own custom image. EDIT: I am referring to the Welcome Screen.
4. When I previously cooked ROMs using the kitchen, it seems to retain the version number of the ROM that I based mine off of. Does anyone know the reason for this?
Yeah, a lot of questions I know, but once I get my ROM finished, I'll be sure to release it here.
Best thing I can recommend to you is try Alex's ROM Cooking tutorial. His ROM is AT&T ROM stripped. All apps are in OEM format so you can re-add as needed. The process of stripping the OEM apps is complicated and you need to find all files associated with a certain program.
Alex already did this so why do it again? You get a fully stripped ROM.
For the registry tweaks take a look at the OEM Packages included with Alex's ROM Cooking tutorial. There are several registry tweaks he has included so you can take a look at it and create you own from that.
The splash/welcome screen is called welcomehead.96.png. It's in the \Windows folder. You can cook your own by replacing the file in "SYS\Redist_dpi_96_resh_240_resv_320" folder if you use Alex's ROM tutorial. It's probably the same for other ROMS if you extracted your own but I haven't tried this. I replaced it so each time I create a ROM it's already there.
As for the ROM version you can change it (I think). In the OEM folder there's an OEMVERSION that contains a .provxml file. You can edit that and you'll see a version number.
Hope that helps.
Right, I know Alex has already released a completly stripped down version, but I really just want to cook something entirely of my own. Not that I dislike Alex's package, but I really would just like to do the work entirely by myself so that I can know all of the changes that were made, and how they were done. It gives me the kind of flexibility that I would like. Also, Alex has made some of his own changes to his UltraClean, so I don't have the level of control that I want.
Hi all,
Perhaps it is a newbie question so please bear with me.
I have an i-mate K-Jam flashed with TNT rom (build 20273). It works perfect and nice, however (frankly speaking) I don't like or want some of the APPs installed with this ROM, but I can't uninstall them.
I've searched this forum to find a way to extract the OS (OS only) from TNT rom so that I can flash my wizard and then install all the APPs I want, with no luck. Perhaps my search skills are a little poor...
So would someone please explain if it is possible or not? and if yes, how?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
You cannot remove apps from a cooked rom. Search for Vanilla roms if you just want the base rom without any extras and then you can install you own apps.
well you can, but for that u'll have to dump the ROM first, remove the apps you dnt like and recook it
you can not dump the TNT roms. when you try, there are no RGU'S or DSM's.
You can dump my rom if you like, but you will get some missing files you will have to put back into the oem.
the missing files come from me not editing the rgu's when I cook.
try dumping Hornet5. for the most part you will get complete packages, but also some "missing files". just put them back into the oem/sys and recook.
Thanks for info. Saved me a lot of time.
I finally managed to cook my own rom. Everything works perfect except that:
1) I've used XIP, SYS and OEM files/folders of different builds. Am I going to have problem later?
2) "CommManager.exe" was missing. I've searched the files used in kitchen and the only thing I found is "commmanager.htm". Later I managed to download and install HTC CommManager but I can't assign in to its button (button 6). Is there any solution for that?
3) How may I extract the "splash screen" from one build, and upload it to my phone?
4) Bluetooth is not working. It says there is no bluetooth hardware on device. Also WLAN disconnects after a few seconds. How may I extract the drivers from original ROM and upload it?
I know the above questions are too much, but actually I'm so excited that my first attempt to cook a rom was successful (almost). I hope one of you experts be kind enough to help me solve the above issues and have a perfect phone.
Thanks in advance.
you will have some problems with the initflashfiles.dat in the oem, as well as the "oemtranslation.prvxml" or something which controls your icons for programs and control panel.
The best thing to do is use the same build OEM SYS & ROM folders.
If you dumped hornet 5, then your best bet ist to work with everything in it. I was working at this rom after Sleurhut for about a month or two.
mixing builds of those folders makes you start from scratch again fixing up your oem again.. and again.
as far as the missing files, try using the Xdump method; or use the searcher on your PC to find the missing files folder and the contents.
Dear S.V.I
Thank you so much for your ongoing support and help.
As I've mentioned before, I'm a total newbie trying to have a clean WM6.1 on Wizard. I've searched and read lots of tutorials here and there, but there are still lots of questions remained.
I tried to play with HyperCore (multi-device) today and I failed in the first step. I've extracted the "nk.nbf" from official i-mate KJam ROM using WinRAR. HyperCore is installed and I've a "C:\Core" folder as well as a "HyperCore" folder on my desktop.
The "DumpRom" is asking me to make sure the "nk.nbf" is in "HyperCore\Extract\Source" folder. Well it is there. Press Enter and the error message says: "There is no nk.nbf in Core\Extract\Source".
No it is not. First, it asked me to put it in "HyperCore\Extract\Source" not "Core\Extract\Source". Second, there is no "Extract" folder under "C:\Core". Even after creating Extract\Source under C:\Core and copying nk.nbf there, the same error message appears again.
So, what I'm missing here?
Same
I'm also scratching my head on this problem too. I've even tried creating extract\source folders in locations C:\core\ and desktop\hypercore\ but still no luck.
I'm wondering however that the issue could be caused by vista/7's change from Documents and Settings\user\desktop (2000, XP) to Users\user\desktop.
It may change the way the batch files are called but i'm really rusty on batch commands these days
I would start with the sticky "How to cook a ROM" thread, focusing on CRACING's kitchen, then move to Nekid Angel (Post #3)
where you will find a more updated ROM ready to cook. If you want to try WM6.5 a good ROM and kitchen is at [WM Kitchen] Wizard Kitchen or CRACING's RC6. I have been playing around with that.
You might move your discussion to one of the cooking or kitchen threads mentioned above, too, since that is where others will look.
Perfect
That's what i was looking for thanks for the heads up N2rjt!
Hey guys,
I just switched to a new ROM for my Kaiser and unfortunately some of the sounds I was accustomed to are gone. Notably the alarm, which is something I must have since I am used to waking up to that.
Does anyone have any idea to get the sounds from a ROM?
I used Raphael for Kaiser
switched to Garmin
You might be able to dump the ROM to a kitchen and sniff through there, but really, if you haven't customized the new ROM too much, it'd just be simpler to flash your old ROM back, grab the sounds you want from the Windows Folder, flash back, and replace files as needed.
i would go with what travito said, you would need to dump the rom and use a kitchen to extract the sounds......
i completely agree with above 2 posts
but heres one alternate way if you dont want to flash again
1 extract the old ROM which you were using
2 now in the dump folder search *.wav
3 you will get all the sounds in the old ROM
4 now sekect the 1s you want and put them in your new ROMs windows directory
5 alarm sonds are generally named alarm1,2,3 etc.....
I just used winrar to open up the rom archive.
I found the sound files in /system/media/.../
Kind Regards
Does anyone know where i can find a listing of the at&t cab files in the windows directory that are installed during the initial start-up? Im just looking to see which cab files install was, such as the mall, or music, for example. Not that i plan on needing them but after searching the internet for a couple days now it would be nice to learn how to bring the phone back to at&t specs. Thanks.
Greg
You can hard reset and not skip the bloat or you can go into the windows directory and sort the files by their type.
But what if you want a couple at&t programs on there?

1. Open up File Explorer
2. Go to the /Windows directory
3. Sort files by type
4. Locate the .cab files
5. Choose which apps you want to install
If you are trying to bring the phone back to ATT spec (to sell or to send it back for support), the best way is to flash using an ATT stock ROM. They are posted on the ROM development forum, here is one on the front page. Since its an official ROM you dont have to mess with HardSPL or anything of that matter, it should just flash the phone.
If you are trying to get the best performance out of your Fuze, I would suggest flashing your phone with a custom ROM.
