i stumbled across the 6.5 emulator which i downloaded from microsofts website....ive been looking all over the net for a way to test out custom roms with this program with no luck...is it not possible? or is there another program similar to this one to test out roms before flashing?
Im searching the right thing.... I had split my 6.5.X 23053 nb... into .bin overwrite the older .bin for the same ress... and the emulator said... that is not a .bin image rom or .nb0... so is there a way to make it runs newer or other builds in it?
Thanks

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!
Microsoft released new Emulator Images of Windows Mobile 6.1.4. A new version of PIE (version 6) is included.
Read here about PIE
Download Images here
Let's see what we can do with it.
Great job!
New core , new PIE
I am going to cook a new rom with it

In case anyone wants to dump the images: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307968

Same problem, freeze at boot.
SYS folder is very big (=? 60 Mo), compared to S740 SYS (=? 50 Mo).
I guess it's the new PIE. Check the size of the browser sys folders! They are huge!
Emulator Image dumper
Here is a litte *.bat script I wrote and the necessary tools for dumping a *.bin emulator image. Just place the image in the folder with the *.bat and rename it to "a.bin" Then open the bat and press any key. After it's done dumping, you'll have a dump folder and you need to run pkgtools over it to get SYS and OEM (although everything will be in the SYS folder for 6.1 images)!
I had cooked a new rom.

English version, but.... Plumsip
I had deleted the new IE mobile 6, which was hard to use
maybe it is just for PPC.
The new s740 theme works.
And............. stable!
the version
So what did you do to use the files from the emulator?
Oh and could you upload the XIP, since I don't know how to extract it nor do I know how to port it!
Yes, you must use the new xip to cook the rom
if not, you can not boot
I upload it for you.
Thanks a lot!
thank you hikey

Hey,
I just flashed my phone to WM6.1 v1.4 (stable), and it workes fine to me for so far, but i can't find a java platform program (in the official rom 'esmertec java')... Where can I download a program such as that one because I'm used to use lots of java apps...

Java platform is always there in the ROM. The name might neccessarily be Esmertic Java, it can be 'esmertic' or 'java' or 'Esmertec Jbed', but it it certainly there in the rom.
Thnx,
found it, there was just no shortcut to it in the Start Menu folder, so I made one...

It may have been in the "Expert" folder.
Indeed, but in WM6.0 there was a shortcut in the main start list... I found the shortcut later in the expert folder when I was just trying the new features and programs...
Is anyone here familiar with flashing WM roms using DMTool? I have a device (I can't say which, sorry), that uses this utility for flashing ROMS with a .hex extension (3 files, for radio, OS and ExtRom), and I'm wanting to see if I can update the OS build (comes with WM 6.5 build 21840, which is OLD!).
It's not exactly an uncomplicated process to flash this thing, but I'm fully familiar with it; I just have I've no idea how building the OS .hex file differs from the more common .bin or .nbh files use with EUU/RUU flashing utilities.
Google isn't being very helpful either...
