Help with Rom Upgrade

Sorry I am a bit comfused, I have the Apache from Bell Canada ROM 2.11.20 Updated: 04/04/06
Radio 1.14.00
1: Below shows the WM5 3.33 ROM which on the buzzdev says is just for Himalaya, is this true????
[HIMA] WM5 3.33a AKU23 Virgy build (16MB ramdisk 48MB pagepool 64MB program)
3.33a Buzz Virgy build with 16MB Ramdisk + 48MB Pagepool + 64MB Program Memory
2. I used the extended rom unlocker and it advised it was successfull, where do I go to be able to see/use the extended ROM??

1. There is a 3.3 ROM on ppcgeeks that should work on your device.
2. You should be able to see the extended ROM by using file explorer. Soft reset if you don't see it at first to see if it helps.

Thanks BW, nice to see you in xda-dev. as well. I will check ppcgeeks for the 3.3 ROM.
About the Extended ROM, is it called extended rom? because I dont see anything more than I usually see (device and storage card). The first time I had just ran the unlocker directly from the zip file.
This time I unzipped and ran the Apache unlocker, got success again but after reboot, still nothing different. Any idea why or do I need to use the 3.3 ROM before it will unlock?
Thanks BW got both the 3.3 ROM from PPCGEEKS and also was able to unlock the Extended ROM from a reg hack found their.

Glad you got it working.

Help!!
Hi everyone...
I try to make an update to my Alltel PPC6700 but apparently the ROM was not the indicated one and now single it remains ignited the light of the flash.
I have removed the battery, I have done reset, soft reset, hard reset and nothing…
I just got a black screen and the light of the flash all along ignited, and when I execute the RUU always says that there is no communication.
Somebody can help me?

Known OEM Package Issues
12-04-07
When all packages are applied, additional icons (Comm Manager, Internet Sharing, RealPlayer, Windows Media Player, etc) appear in program menu, which are not present in the AT&T shipped ROM. This is a minor issue and will not be fixed as provxml files are PITA
HTC HomePlug package has 9 icons, however, the 8th icon does not display on Tilt ROM
Sliding Sounds package has typo - The definitions for Sliding Sound 0 are both for "out"; the first one needs to be changed to "in". (Thanks slimshadee) (fixed in 12-17-07 OEM package update)
12-07-07
Ring-WindowsMobile and Ring-Vision ringtones show up, but are not present. (fixed in 12-17-07 ROM folder update) This can be resolved by changing the following in SYS\Base_Lang_0409\813fd1d1-ca6f-4b6d-96d2-c97fb99bd535.rgu:

Tired of Flashing
Just installed and I must say it's the fastest out the box so far.
Because it's clean & an AT&T Rom...I haven't had any carrier related issues, no registry tweaking required & I have plenty of space to put what I want & need.
All the other ROMs required too much tweaking and I also experienced some freezing.
I went thru this ROM flashing crap with my MDA...just want the damn thang to work.
From what I've seen and experienced so far....clean & stable is the way to go.
This device has plenty of storage space so there's no need to stuff it like with other devices.
If you have more than 60megs of crap to install...get a laptop
Thanks for the ROM/ROMs & I hope this is my last flash

Very Cool! Thanks for doing this!
I'm downloading the clean rom now and then will push it up to other sites for mirrors. Can someone do the same for the other two downloads (OEM Packages and ROM Folders)?
[Edit] Ok, I griped to quickly... MegaUpload let me pull all 3 down one after another (never been able to do that before). I'll mirror these shortly so there are other options.

what about the latest OS and .net?
This is a very clean ROM, but it does not have the latest .net and OS - any chance of on newer version?

Congratulations, you're making a great job...
Cheers.

The ROM includes the latest radio 1.27.14.09, so no worries for upgrades or future downgrades.

Please tell me I can use a custom 2G dialer and have smart dialing options enabled? and that there's no (A) in the dial screen menu

THANK YOU!!!!!
Finally...a clean base with options to cook an ATT ROM for the Tilt.
I have one note for you Alex...
Your OEM_ATT_160_Sliding_Sounds package has a typo in the rgu file (this same typo is also in the 1.56 rom package folder as well)...
The definitions for Sliding Sound 0 are both for "out"; the first one needs to be changed to "in".
My last goal is to completely obliterate touchflo...I thought I did so from the 1.56 rom package you provided by eliminating the TFSettings and Registry entries, but I think touch.dll also needs to be removed, am I correct?
Thanks again for your great work..
shadee

I can't stand touch flo either

Alarm no worky...I'll try the newer version with 3.5.net and see what happens.

In NetCF 3.5 ROM, was able to set an alarm in the 'clock & alarms' control panel just fine and it went off at the appropriate time. Have not verified if this is a problem with NetCF 2.0.

Should be able to install any cab on top of the dialer. Smart dialing is available as an OEM package, but not installed in the ROM.

Yup, that should do it. I'll consider releasing another rom with Touchflo disabled and an OEM package to re-enable. Thanks again for all your input!

I am seeing problems with netcf rom. To fix, install cab. Will spend some time fixing rom and oem package when I'm in front of a computer.
-- NetCF 3.5 ROM & OEM package removed.

Thanks a million but...
Alex;
Thank you for releasing a clean ROM; but I also have to say ARRRGH! Why? Well I thought when I got the Tilt that my days of being a "flashaholic" had been cured by going from a Wizard to a Tilt. I mean, this thing has more than enough memory for me, both storage and operating, is certainly fast enough for what I use it for, and other than a few little quirks which I was able to take care of pretty much great out of the box.
Then I decided that I wanted the new radio since there are a couple of spots I am in every day where reception is iffy, but to get the new radio you need the new ROM so the idea of flashing crept in. I downloaded the "newer stock" AT&T ROM but got busy at work. I knew the kitchen existed but just didn't feel like getting into it since work has been 14 hour days and traveling so I simply don;t have time to be messing with my device or dealing with it not being 100%
But now that you have such a clean ROM, all the packages easily accessible I seem to have caught the bug again big time! I used mattrk's kitchen with my Wizard so I understand the basic concept of packages into OEM, build OS, create nbf and flash but this one seems a little different. I read the readme and everything else I can find and I know that the kitchen creator was working on a step by step but I was wondering if someone could validate or correct my thought process here.
I downloaded and installed the kitchen and the build OS updates. I just extracted them into c:\kaiserkitchen. There was nothing overwritten so I am not sure if I did this properly.
I installed hardSPL
From your first post I downloaded the cooked ROM with NetCF3.5, the OEM packages and the ROM folders. This is where I got a little confused. If I have the ROM folders can I simply add the OEM packages I want (including the NETCF3.5 package NETCFv35_wm_armv4i) into the OEM folder, move all three folders to the Base ROM folder in the kitchen and then use the kitchen starting with !Cook?
Alternatively do I need to extract from the whole ROM I downloaded and then do the rest of the process?
Also, I saw your post about some issues with NetCF3.5 ROM, that you said could be fixed with a cab, but I don't see it. Would there be the same problems if I added the package NETCFv35_wm_armv4i?
Sorry for asking a question that I could probably just experiment with on my own and figure out but I simply don't have enough hours in the day lately.
Thanks again for all your work on this!

add to first post if possible

Has anyone tried flashing this yet? I would like to give it a try, but I hate to be first.

Flashed HardSPL (Hard2) 3.29, changed Page Pool to 12 MB static, flashed.
1. Excellent voice quality and signal strength (due to radio probably)
2. Fast GPS fix ~30 from cold start (A-GPS enabled), <5 seconds when hot started (wow!)
3. Programs installed as usual - Voice Command insted of Voice Speed Dial
4. Speed - feels better than 3.29 or 3.28 ROM (which is very good).
5. Free RAM - low, very similar to 3.29 or 3.28 ROMs
GXMark 1529 (surely no 2D drivers )
After installing Directshow patches from lastest manilla GXMark jumped to 1592

THNX
ported the oemxip and OEM it is few new version like MMS now ....19 new registry settings new xip files and modules will see the stability .
radio gps fix UK not good slower then 1.59.42.15 will test further .

I have to say:
this and ported 19588 SYS is quite, quite fast
good work on this my friend

how long does it take to get a gps fix?

Stability... Performance..
I just flashed and let me say ... It is VERY VERY stable and fast. Not too many apps, you need to load your apps. I am very happy with performance and stability. GPS lock in less than 20 seconds. flash fast Internet access and streaming media is also stable. I am testing with adding TouchFlo; will report stability. I also added the 3D Drivers, but could not tell any Diff especially with GoogleMaps.
Great Find... Thanks..

[REF] Easiest way to SIM unlock your Elf/Elfin even if it's "MCC+MNC = None"

[REF] Easiest way to SIM unlock your Elf/Elfin even if it's "MCC+MNC = None"
First of all, sorry for my bad english...
Here goes the best way I found to unlock all Elf/Elfin, even those with the deadly "MCC+MNC=None" (wich is my elfin).
I saw some people say that when flashed with "Elf_Elfin_2.11.0.0_MFG_ModuleBuild" the phone it's not SIM locked anymore, but after reflashing with another rom it got locked again.
I tried that myself and it was true, I flashed "Elf_Elfin_2.11.0.0_MFG_ModuleBuild", then flashed other rom (with only the OS part) over it and bam, was locked again.
So the locking part should be in the OS. After looking over the system files, I found two files (SIMLock.exe and SIMLock.exe.0416.MUI [my OS was BR Portuguese]) and thought "here is the locking problem" (because "Elf_Elfin_2.11.0.0_MFG_ModuleBuild" don't have those files in the system folder!). Then I deleted those files and it wasn't SIM locked anymore... but it didn't find any networks.
So I serached a little more (google is your best friend in times like this) an discovered that the file rilgsm.dll is responsible for the network... It starts and calls SIMLock.exe, if SIMLock.exe returns a valid SIMcard, then rilgsm.dll starts the network service.
So that's the diference between "Elf_Elfin_2.11.0.0_MFG_ModuleBuild" and the other roms, its rilgsm.dll don't have the part that calls to SIMLock.exe, it just starts the network service based on the SIM card you have inserted.
So I just took that dll from that test rom and copied over another rom and it worked like a charm!
Enough talking, here's what you gotta do to SIM unlock your Elf/Elfin (no matter what rom you have):
You will need this file (unlocked "rilgsm.dll")
- Extract the file you just downloaded to a temporary folder.
- Turn on your mobile WITHOUT the SIM Card.
- Connect your Elf to your PC (activesync).
- Find the files "rilgsm.dll", "SIMLock.exe" and "SIMLock.exe.0***.MUI" (the *** depends on the language of your OS) on the windows folder of your mobile and make a bakup of them (in case you want to SIM lock it again).
- Copy the extracted "rilgsm.dll" over the one on the windows folder (say yes when it asks to replace the file).
- Delete both "SIMLock.exe" and "SIMLock.exe.0***.MUI".
- Turn off your mobile.
- Insert any SIM Card (that didn't work before) and turn your mobile on again and enjoy your newly unlocked ELFin!
If you intend to flash some other rom, just copy the dll again and it's ready to go.
Hope this helps.

Great find!!!
For Rogers users who are using the regular stock ROM, it is probably a good idea for them to use the regular free unlocking method because rilgsm.dll is responsible for Rogers Name Display. Other than that, I hope it works well for everyone else!!!
Anyone else tried this?

yes, I have, did not work. phone does not have simlock.exe or simlock.exe.xxxx.mui on windows folder, and just replacing rilgsm.dll does not affect carrier lock. when inserting sim card from other operators, it still asks for subsidy code.
Tested phone is:
ELF010050
BSTAR502
IPL: 2.24.0002
SPL: 2.26.0000pof
99HEH077-00
Operator Tim Brazil
ps.: I tried as well when phone was with stock rom, and was the same thing.
br

Good idea!!
I haven't tried your procedure but I also know that OS contained in "unbricker rom" (test only rom) do SIM unlocking, so I believe this will work . I will try it soon in my free time. Thanks!!!

I'll try to reflash my elfin tomorrow and do some other tests with it, to see if there are any problems with some specific roms.
My elfin:
ELF010050
BSTAR502
IPL 2.24.0002
SPL 2.24.0000
99HEH077-00
Claro Brazil
I'll post something more tomorrow.
Sorry for the lack of testing before posting (newbie yet).

i would feel better by patching or replacing the simlock.exe file instead of changing the dll.

zerostuff, why don't you add a poll to this thread to see if it works for most people?

Thank you for the idea dsixda.
I sent the .exes and .dlls to a friend of mine and asked asked him if he can find the locking part in those files (because i'm just a normal user and don't know anything about hex editing and stuf).
And I'm still testing some roms on my elfin to see if I can find a working and a non-working way to unlock it (so far, all the roms are working).

thinking of buying a htc elf
hi all im thinking of buying a htc elf but its locked to orange is it easy to unlock and get rid of the orange start up logo .
would you give me step by step guide on how to do it ?
thanks in advance

As you can see, some is easy to unlock others no solution yet...

@ zerostuff
elfin ELF010050 BSTAR502 from Vivo Brazil, had the simlock.exe and simlock0416.exe.mui . I replaced those files with and small clock app, and replaced rilgsm.dll , and did not worked (error 'unavailable file', and then hang) . So, I deleted the simlock.* , and phone got into menu, but no signal.
indeed, this is a way to go, but still need improvements.
@ chester-lad-2009

First we move the rilgsm.dll to windows folder, then delete the two files SIMLock.exe & SIMLock.exe.0***.mui, and ignore the Warning! Could not delete 1 file(s)...
Then reboot the ELFin and it´s done....loooooool... No need to put codes...
Just doing those steps, it´s done the SIM_Unlock
Strange??? i don´t know, but work´s
Note: Tested with One PT ELF and One ELFin BRS, worked fine!!!

Great post works like a charm!
i needed to use another explorer since my original rom dont let me move or copy windows folder file!
i used WinFileCE.exe to do the trick , but it worked !
1 more thing , is it possible to cook a rom with this files inside!? because if i hard reset the phone it relocks it self by this method!!

These two files they realy removed???

I cant' remove this two files because the cellphone is using them, how can i stop process's on Windows Mobile?

Using TC I was able to copy rilgsm.dll to \Windows. But simlock.* are a different story and I wasn't able to delete them.
Anyway, using this version of rilgsm causes the phone connection to die: it cannot be set on from Comm Manager. And then after some time, Comm Manager throws two or three errors.

Not worked Efl 3450 ( 64/128)
The idea was great, but not worked with Efl 3450 ( 64/128)...
My device was patched (IPL 2.27/SPL 2.28 cmonex) and Rom ELVES ROM V5.0 - CE OS 5.2.2021.
No files found in windows dir "SIMLock.exe" and "SIMLock.exe.0***.MUI", so i just copy this file (unlocked "rilgsm.dll") to windows dir and i did a soft reset.
Result: deviced hanged.. new soft reset: boot ok, but no radio ( even trying to turning on manually), just wi-fi working..(nice to make calls from skype )
I don't have any clues about how to bypass simlock..
Any help will be appreciate.
Cheers

RILGSM.dll is not locked/unlocked
The thing is, that file controls GSM<-->PDA radio functions. As you took RILGSM from a "test" rom (is unlocked one)
When u sim unlock a device, it doesnt overwrite RILGSM with "unlocked" properties
The solution will be rewrite a RILGSM.dll file, and write a SIMLOCK.exe file with spoof properties to make think device is unlocked

Reconstruction Maple ROM from dump - how?

This might be a silly question, but nevertheless I am not very clear how it should be done. Prior to upgrading my Maple to WM6.5 (official HTC upgrade) I made a dump using pdocread -l, resulting in 4 files:
- Part00.raw: 3196K
- Part01.raw: 3584K
- Part02.raw: 104320K
- Part03.raw: 104064K
These files are made from the Maple running the Dutch version of WM6.1, for which (not at that time, and not now either) no stock rom is available. I thought that turning these raw files into a flashable nbh file wouldn't be such a big deal but it seems that I was wrong.
I started with installing HardSPL, to be on the safe side.
I followed the instructions on http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=255090&mode=threaded and http://www.xdasite.com/showthread.php?t=1084. I tried to adhere as much as possible to these guides, picking the Kaiser as device because it appears to make the tools work, but so far I have not been able to produce a working ROM from the dump: after flashing WM6.1 boots, displays a warning about my SIM missing (which is correct). Then the first boot customization tool launches but fails doing some file operation leaving the device inaccessible. A reboot does not make any difference. Judging from this I think it's missing some stuff, but I have no idea what. Anyone has a working guide how to reconstuct the ROM again?
Btw, as soon as I manage to get one working I'll upload it so it can be added to the above mentioned ROM thread.
Thanks.

Any ideas?
