I have noticed that whenever I make a backup of my Touch Pro through Spb Backup it gaves lots of errors about .bpsd files in the \Windows\BPSD\ directory. I have searched on google and xda-devs and have not been able to find what this directory is for?
Can anyone please help me understand if the .bpsd files are curcial system files or they are just some temporary files.
hi surfturtle,
same problem on my touch HD and found in another forum (pocketpc.ch) a reply, which was forwarded from HTC Support:
...
You are not the first user of HTC Touch HD, who contacted us with such problem. We have contacted HTC and got the answer that the files contained in the "\windows\bpsd\" folder are drivers for different Epson printers. For more information about printing from your device, please refer to the User Manual.
Also, we have done some tests and they showed that these files are not critical to the overall quality and consistency of the created backup file. So, they can be ignored for now. In future version we will fix this problem.
...
So I ignore and wait for a fix.

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1019171&postcount=22
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?

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.
ive installed the weatherfix on my kaiser. everything worked fine but ive lost the other functions like buddys and sounds. so i unistall the patch and got my old home plugin back. trough this process i got another problem:
i cant get any weather-data.
does anybody know how i can fix this problem?
thanks for your help
im really a newbie and searched all the forum. ive read over 200 posts in this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187 because i thought it would be the right forum and used the search function over 7 hours. but i dont get the answer to my question. if somebody just would send me the link it would be great. ive downloaded a lot of stuff to fix this problem in this forum, but my problem is that i dont know whats excacly the answer to the problem and i dont want to crash my tilt. its my first windows mobile device.
I'm going through something similar, if I understand you correctly.
You installed N2A's fix to be able to get weather data on custom locations? When you say that you can't get any weather data do you mean just for the new location you created or is it the same for any other location in the default list?
I also have the same problem. anyone know how to get local weather on the HTC home working?
Me Too
I would like the local weather too.
i got the same problem with my wizard, i just done a hard reset.. x)..
I've managed to get this working perfectly thanks to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187&highlight=weather+htc+xml
I'd followed the guide before to install the patched version of HTC Home provided, but as has happened to other people my icons got messed up. It also stopped the backlight changing shortcut in HTC Home from working (I tried a few of the patched versions and none seemed to like the backlight).
In the end I found it much better just to patch the htchome.dll file on the version already installed on my Kaiser, following the guide at the bottom of http://weather.not2advanced.com/files/ linked from the first post in the above mentioned thread. That way I got to keep things exactly how they were and how I like them with the added advantage of working weather info.
I then set the attributes of my patched dll to System and Read Only and removed Archive to match the attributes of my original htchome.dll in my Windows folder. I was able to replace the file using Resco Explorer - it asked if I wanted to overwrite the existing file and then warned me that the file was in the ROM and replacing the file could break my device. I confirmed the overwrite and told it I was sure I wanted to write the patched dll to ROM and it all worked out very nicely.
I'm using Dutty's 2k8 ROM (v3 final) and my htchome.dll file shows version 2.0.814.722. Here's a copy of my patched dll for anyone that wants to use it - I strongly suggest only using it if you're using the same ROM as me and the version number is the same. I've no idea what would happen if you tried to replace a different version and I won't be held responsible for anyone trying it .

Works perfectly thanks a million. I always wanted the weather to wok
Sorry if i am asking something that is already answered for numerous times, but believe me i have tried to gather the information on my own but none of those worked.
I would like to extract files from Windows Mobile 6.1 Rom to see what are exported dll apis, not only those documented, I am basically waiting for blackstone and having blueangel right here but i actually dont really care which rom image to use, just to get the binaries out.
I am not familiar with terminology you use for describing this (and idea: put together some dictionary ) but for sure none of the described around keywords NbfUtils (activestate ppm just doesnt work), rdmsflsh.pl (After nbfutils installed "by hand" it doesnt find NbfUtils.lib)... After all the misery with bunch of not working tools and switches with curious names (and both probably perfectly understandable by someone playing with roms for years - not my case) I have done some code to dump dlls from rom images by searching for PE and looking for export directory but they are not really highly descriptive without file names.
Can someone PLEASE point me to some relevant data, how to get files and directory structures either from rom images here or .bin images for visual studio emulator?
Thank you for reading this...

Been there, done that...
http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/perl/ppm repository does not work (activestate perl) and if i try to do it "by hand" (perl makefile.pl, nmake, nmake install), it is ok for nbfutils, but for compress utils nmake fails with LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'nkcompr.lib'.
And this is fatal error not warning as someone mentioned somewhere else on the forum...

The first reason for this was dynamically loading cecompr_nt.dll wich have dependancy to missing c runtime for vc2003 (as i only have vc2008), i have added it but it fails with the same

greetings all,
i've attempted to search this site and have read the wiki. i saw the sticky on not starting threads until exhausting other options, but i didn't find the answer to my particular question.
i installed teh Tf3d config, but none of the themes i've installed are showing up in the drop down menu under appearance. i've tried relocating them to various spots on my device and storage card, but nothing seems to work. in one tutorial, i read to creat a new folder named Internal Storage/Themes/ but my device would not allow this as a folder name and i've tried slanting the slashes in both directions.
one of the themes was a zipped file, the other was not. the zipped file was DL'd to my PC first, then i extracted the files to my device.
the TF3D config seems to be, otherwise, working fine. i've deleted a tab and rearranged the others.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

for ease of use several people have create cabs out of their themes.. simply install the cab file. look for a thread created my mobile matt (username mchapman) it has several themes and mods in it.
one of the themes i've installed is a cab. however, it does not show up. that's what the problem is.
i guess the title of thread could be a little misleading. i'm not having trouble locating themes to install - tf3d config is having trouble finding them, after i do.
ETA - i searched for the thread you mentioned, but it says "mchapman" is an invalid username
ETA - i've found this instruction to be a little confusing. if somebody could PLEASE give me a little clarity on exactly what they are telling me to do:
- Create the root of internal storage of your HTC Touch Diamond a folder named: Themes
thank you
can someone just explain this one sentence, please.

is this something that requires a registery editor? i ask because, i've attempted making a folder with that name in several locations then placing the file in it. it still won't show up in the drop down menu.
exactly where do create the folder named "themes"?
thanx

Maybe this will help. If you were to create this folder on your pc instead it would look like this:
C:\themes <- C:\ is your root directory.
so on your phone the folder should appear in the list with windows and program files and document and storage card. It should be \themes NOT something like \Program Files\themes
Hi all,
well, the heading says it all - I need to extract the text messages stored in my several ROM backups and maybe integrate them with my current ROM if possible. The backups were done with 4EXTrecovery
So far I found the info that these text messages are stored in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db - but how do I get to those inside the backups? Anyone here know a way to combine several of these files into one?
Any help greatly appreciated
i'm interresting too wait for any anwsers !
This question has been asked and answered many times, you can do a search to find many possible solutions.
If you have root and are comfortable playing around with the files, the file you listed is a simple sqlite database. You can extract it and merge it on a PC using an sqlite manager application. (Be sure not to duplicate any repeated messages!) Copy the merged file back to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ and you're done!

I'm glad I found this reply, but I got stuck at the stage where sqlitemanager asks me for a password as the data.yaffs2.img file is encrypted. My backup was performed using CWM backup and I figured that I'll find the "com.android.providers.telephony/databases/" under there but as I already said, I can't open the data.yaffs2.img to access "com.android.providers.telephony/databases/".
Please help
I too was wondering the same thing, that's awesome! I will give it a try...
