How to change the start up Logo ?
And, how to extract some extra network operator setting ?
For example, I have a Chinese version and want to extract some extended ROM *.cab file (I saw in the FTP)
which contain , for example Vodaphone setting?
could anybody give us any news.. please i need to change the start up logo as I don't like the 1 i have atm lol
for changing boot screen you can read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=15459&highlight=boot+image
badman : didnt catch your second question...
but if you want to extract ext rom from you magician you can do this
- hard reset
- follow the setup procedure
- when you see message 'gonna install in 3 seconds' ( dont remember the exact word ) soft reset
- you will see folder extended rom with file explorer, just copy and install what you want or need.
How do you change the Telstra System of my xda mini to an O2 system?
When I do a soft or hard reset a Telstra logo appears on the screen.
Would there ba a problem with this? I this even possible?
Sorry NEWBIE asking sirs!
The splash screen is changed easily to anything you like, just follow the sticky on the board. Changing your mini to O2 requires the O2 ext-rom files to 'brand' it. Visit the ftp ftp:\\xda:[email protected] for the ext-rom files. Best is to skip your current ext-rom (hard-reset, finish the initialization & just after the last tap on the screen you soft-reset quickly) & then install the O2 cab-files. Other possibility is to flash your rom. Visit the wiki (link on top of the page & goto magician & then exe upgrade) for this & get an O2 shipped-rom from the ftp (or anywhere else on the web).
Cheers, M
Ps I'd go for only the cab-files first. Flashing can be done later when you're more accustomed to your device.

How do I install the CAB file?
Which CAB File(O2 version) in the Magician folder is best?
Best? I don't know but watch out, there's a lot of Asian stuff in it. Usually the highest number is the most recent version & preferred.
Just put the cab-files on your device, preferable the SD card via Act.sync or card reaser, then start the file explorer on your device. Navigate to the location you stored them & click on them to install. Might be that you want to install CabInstl first, then you can choose where the apps from the cab's are installed.

if you have a file.exe. you must install that file on PC to your pocket PC by activesyn. during your installing you must enter the serial to register.
when finished. go to C/programs/activesyn you 'll file the cabfile for using in the future.
Found It Yesterday
Found This When Cooking My Rom Yesterday...
When You Register Resco Explorer 2007,
It Creates A File In The Windows Directory Called "Wmtrigger.dat"
Register Your Copy Of Resco 2007 And Then Copy That File From Your Device Into Your Cab.

There is no standart for sharewares
Every softwares has different methods to registering.
Somen's uses registry
somen's uses an encrypted data file
somen's patchs a file.
And you must use a cab editor for ( I can't give the links and names here )
which softwares have you crcked exe / registry keys to add or replace in cab file.
meanwhile...
this method is not always useful.
and not legal ( also your legal payed soft's too )
Ok,
So I got the Universal yesterday and spent all day trying to get BBConnect to run on it and after searching for days and days I was able to piece things together to get it to work. So here are the links to the tools I used and as far as I can recall the steps I took.
ROM: DFT WM6.1 19174
http://www.darkforcesteam.com/showthread.php?t=133
HTC64 Tools (to convert the nbf to a fat file)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=25416&d=1133971744
HEX Editor
http://www.rs.e-technik.tu-darmstadt.de/applets/frhed-v1.1.zip
BBConnect software
http://rapidshare.com/files/45075798/BBConnect_WM6_Professional_BB_4.0.0.90.exe.html
HTC NetworkWizard cab file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=80495&d=1207858578
Ok so here is what I did
Right click the ROM file "DFT.U.V1.WWE.rar" and extract this will put the files in a folder "Outputfile" containing the following files:
EnterBL.exe
GetDeviceData.exe
ROMUpgradeUt.exe
RUU.dll
UI.dll
nk.nbf
Next extract the HTC64 Tools folder this will allow you to launch:
HTC64 Extended ROM Tool.exe
Double click it and choose decode
point to the nbf file and choose extract
This will creat the following files in the "OutputFile" folder:
nk.fat
nk.prj
Now install the hex editor and launch it, then click Open to open the "fat" file
along the top of the address bar is a set of binoculars click on that type "HTC" and check the Unicode box change the letters Univer to Hermes the remaining letters sal change to ...
save the file
Use HTC64 tools and encode the file, then update your universal
Run the network wizard cab file, reboot, configure for your provider
Install the registry editor and go to the following location
HKLM/System/Version/AKU change it to .0.3.1 (yes that is a . at the begining)
Reboot
Ok now your ready to install BBConnect
I was able to connect and have been connected for about 5 hours now.
i was actually trying this out a couple days back with Tomal (Ranju) latest rom.
i got the client to startup but couldn't connect.
figured it's a problem with my account, which i gotta check with the network provider.
but can you explain why you had to edit the ROM to change the Universal to Hermes.. and the AKU version to 0.3.1?
does the BBConnect software check for these and refuse to work if they're not matching?
I read on a post that it had to do with the model of device that was sent to authenticate with the BB servers, the ROM edit from the information I gathered sends the device type as a HTC-Hermes which is an authorized BBConnect device.......
What's the chance of getting the BB connect software running on Tomal's 7.6 ROM by performing the same search-and-replace as you did? Or does it have to be the ROM you used?
first to post here
as i saw that HP rx1950 has got a Windows Mobile 6.1 Custom ROM..
but my device doesn't have the same language as the custom ROM pack, so i can't update it...
i've searched through the forum and the internet... there had been some ROMs posted,, but the links were dead already
anyone who still have this device, hope u can kindly extract the Stock WM5 English ROM for me
thanks a lot for your help, and sorry for my poor english..
martin
Just upgrade you phone, language of your current ROM doesn't make a difference .
Here is a kitchen ROM of WM 6.1 Classic for rx1950 from xda members Victory144 and Guifort.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/nna2yo92q2beiik/Flasher_Hp_Ipaq_rx1950_ENG_WM6.1.rar
I agree with tomcug. It should flash your ROM to WM 6.1 regardless of the language. You need to use it on a Windows XP computer with ActiveSync installed though...

I've read the post.. there're two methods to flash the WM6.1 ROM, by SD or through USB.. but i failed with a message "Wrong Image" after cloning the image to SD card, and the lauguage problem while flashing through USB with stock update utility (that maybe some lock by HP on language. mine is Chinese Traditional, but the update image is English..)
therefore, that'll be fine if the English Stock ROM is available.. btw, is there any program to flash that bypass the lock??
or how to change the language option of the ROM generated by kitchen?
i am not very familiar to configure the kitchen
thank you for your help
Here is a very technical discussion of 2 methods for installing different language ROMs.
http://www.tweaks2k2.com/How_to/39xxROMlang.htm
You will need a HexEditor:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/6r8ffn1fq3bh9mu/uedit32.exe
And a mtty program:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/7srppxvnr728ime/mtty11a.exe
BUT - at the end of method two when the author says - At the terminal screen type "lnb nk.nb0" at the USB prompt. (That means: Load the ROM nk.nb0)
INSTEAD - use the command "l nk.nb0"
That may be a typo - or the difference in mtty versions used by myself and the author...
thank you for your suggestion, i see that the ROM file structure of 3950 is a bit similar to rx1950, so i will try to change that
i've got the kitchen and the whole system downloaded from the site u suggested, but i just can't figure out how to change the language code of the output file while building the ROM , so that i can fool the ROM Update Utility and flash the ROM to my PDA..
wt's Build_XIP?
do u hv any suggestions? thx again
martin
Build_XIP... I think that is something for a different device. confused
_____
The following is based on research and guesswork. I make NO CLAIM that it will work and not damage your device... TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
_____
If my experiments with mtty and my reading of the How to install a different language tutorial are correct, all you need is:
mtty11a.exe to send commands to your iPAQ.
The English WM 6.1 ROM Image (CEOS.nbf) you want to upgrade to.
And Uedit32 to edit the ROM.
Put all 3 files in the same folder. It will be easiest to create a new folder on desktop with whatever name you like.
_____
This is for a Windows XP computer. That is what you have, yes?
First be sure to BACKUP your iPAQ and put all files in a safe place on your PC.
Next - remove the battery and any SD cards from the rx1950. Wait at least 10 minutes for the internal battery to discharge so that the iPAQ is cleared of all memory except the ROM you want to overwrite.
_____
Now we want to save the Chinese ROM you have so we can restore it if anything goes wrong. Best to be safe, yes?
Do you have a spare SD card at least 256mb? If not, use the one you normally have in rx1950... See why we saved all your files first?
Kill ActiveSync by opening Task Manager>Processes. Look on the list for wcesmgr.exe and wcescomm.exe. Highlight each one and click on End Process. With ActiveSync killed you can now "talk" to iPAQ with mtty.
DO NOT PUT IN THE BATTERY. Attach the iPAQ to the PC with the USB cable AND the AC Power Cord. Turn the iPAQ on and manually enter Bootloader Mode. (Google tells me for rx1950 you - press following buttons simultanously
Contacts + Mail + Reset for as long as your PDA boots)
Insert the SD card where you want to save the Chinese WM 5 ROM.
Go to the folder where you saved the 3 files you need and double click mtty11a.exe. That opens a box called "Open port setting." Scroll down the list in "Port" and look for \\\WCEUSBSH001. That is the port you want. I noticed that the end number (001) changes with each use of mtty. Never mind the number so much, \\\WCEUSBSH00x is what you want - that is your iPAQ. Select that port and click on the "OK" button.
It should open a command terminal (white window). Press enter until USB> appears in the window. I only needed to press enter once, but some tutorials say keep pressing until it appears. (?)
At the USB> prompt type r2SD and press enter. This will have mtty command your iPAQ to dump your ROM image onto the SD Card as RAW DATA. Wait for the progress bars on iPAQ screen to finish and you get a completed message.
Save this SD card in a safe place. This is your Recovery Image to restore the iPAQ back to the ROM you started with. The card is not formatted in a way that you can open and read with Windows XP so do not try putting it in a card reader right now - XP will want to format it and we don't want that to happen.
_____
If you need to recover your iPAQ at any point...
Unplug the iPAQ from PC and AC power cords. Remove battery and SD card. Wait 10 minutes to reset memory.
Insert SD card with Recovery Image. Plug in the AC power cord. Turn on iPAQ. Enter Bootloader Mode. iPAQ will see the Image on the SD card and offer you the option to Flash your ROM or exit. Pick the option to flash your ROM.
The iPAQ will Hard Reset after it flashes and then you can remove the SD card with the Recovery Image and do a Restore from the files you saved on PC and/or your regular SD card and the Backup we did at the beginning of this experiment.
_____
Now that we are safe, we can start to try and change the English WM 6.1 ROM so you can flash it to your iPAQ.
I read the "How to install a different language" tutorial quite a few times. Here are my calculations for what we need:
Original checksum
minus HexSum of ENG (45+4E+47 = DA)
equals change value
or
ECEC
-DA
= EC12
HexSum of CHT (43+48+54 = DF)
plus change value
equals new checksum
or
DF
+ EC12
= ECF1
Then that means we change ENG (code for English) to CHT (code for Chinese Traditional) and also change the Checksum from ECEC to ECF1 and we can get the ENG ROM to load on your CHT rx1950.
_____
Now you need to edit the ROM. Go to the folder where you saved the 3 files you need and double click uedit32.exe to open the Hex Editor. Click on "File>Open" and navigate to the folder where you put your files. Select CEOS.nbf and Uedit will open it.
10 lines down (line 00000090h) the file says "..........ENG.hp"
Next line 000000a0h says "iPAQ rx1950...."
This may or may not be the place to change - But I believe it is the right spot to tell any updater program what iPAQ version to update...
Scroll down to line 00000ea0h where it says "..........ECEC^a"
Next line 00000eb0h says ".e^a..........."
I believe that is the ROM Checksum and then an order to verify the checksum from iPAQ...
Scrolling down farther to line 00001ec0h it says " iPAQ rx1950..6."
Next line 00001ed0h says "00.00 ENG......."
I believe this tells any updater program what version is being flashed. But it may need to be changed...
So my best guess is:
At the first spot ENG is listed (line 00000090h) you need to edit ENG to CHT
At line 00000ea0h you need to edit ECEC to ECF1
Make these changes with Uedit32 and then click "File>Save as" and label the file "Test.nbf" saving it to the folder we have been using. (Note that mtty and any files you want to flash MUST be in the same directory.)
In Uedit32 click on "File>Close All Files" and exit Uedit32. Now you have 2 versions of the ROM in your folder...
_____
mtty still open and iPAQ connected?
If not - connect iPAQ as above (no battery or SD card, wait ten minutes, connect with USB and AC power, put rx1950 into Bootloader Mode). Open mtty. Navigate to your port and get a USB> prompt.
At USB> type in "l Test.nbf" (no quotes) and it should try to flash the edited ROM to rx1950.
If it was edited wrong you will get an error message something like "Header request time out."
_____
If it doesn't work that way it shouldn't affect your iPAQ and a Hard Reset should be all you need to restore your system. If that fails we have the SD card Restore Image we made earlier.
Delete the Test.nbf file from the folder and try editing CEOS.nbf again.
Try changing the Checksum and the second time ENG is listed:
At line 00000ea0h you need to edit ECEC to ECF1
At line 00001ed0h you need to edit ENG to CHT
Save as Test.nbf and have mtty "l Test.nbf" again
If it fails, delete Test.nbf
The last try would be by editing the Checksum and both times ENG is listed:
At line 00000090h you need to edit ENG to CHT
At line 00000ea0h you need to edit ECEC to ECF1
At line 00001ed0h you need to edit ENG to CHT
Save as Test.nbf and have mtty "l Test.nbf" again

I hope one of these works for you. Please let us know what happens.
Thanks.
thanks for your suggestions very much!!
but i get the File CRC checksum error when using the stock update utility,
and through mtty.exe, it shows "Header Request Time out" also, in both i changed the first mentioned "ENG" to "CHT", second time and both times ...
all failed
would there any way to flash it through SD (by creating a suitable .nb0 file?) ?
hurray!!!!
i've cheated the HP ROM Update Utility (RUU) to accept to update an English ROM to a Chinese machine !!!
i use WinHex to replace the ENG with CHT, CHT with ENG,, and it's OK now!!!!
anyway, thank you very very very much for your sincere help!!!!!!!!!
Really marvellous!!!
HUZZAH and Congratulations martinhy!!!!!
I'm glad you got it to work.
I was at the keyboard for about 4 hours playing with the files last night and was afraid that my guess was wrong (as it turns out it was). So I'm really surprised and pleased that you solved it.
You just edited the RUU??? All other files in the kitchen folder stay the same???
Cause I need to cheat it and make it change from rx1950 to rx3115... I'll be trying your method soon.
it's troublesome to change ,, or i can say, cheat, the ROM file (.nbf) itself, coz it has checksum .. and the algorithm may be difficult to guess, and changing with different versions of iPAQ,
but the RUU itself doesn't have the integrity check, so it's cheatable
anyway, thx for your effort to help me
i can't be sure whether your guess is wrong, coz when i download the stock ROM, i.e. "l CEOS.nbf" to the iPAQ, through mtty, i also says "header request timed out"..
so i can't be sure whether there's problem for the way to edit the ROM, or the iPAQ doesn't support such mtty method...
or........
. becoz i'm a newbie, maybe i've got something wrong though...
*sigh*
When I try to change the RUU from rx1950 to rx3115 and run the rx1950 upgrade kitchen I get the CRC error...
When I try to change the .nbf and put it in with a rx3115 update package I get 244 Error (model ID)...
When I pull on my hair it comes out in big chunks...
I think I need a lot more study and a new toolkit...
that's maybe quite a challenge to flash ROMs from other models rather than language... both models are not compatible
