@orefkov,how to del the extrom and try to enlarge the os.nb - P3400 ROM Development

@orefkov,how to del the extrom and try to enlarge the os.nb?
show me your step?
thanks.

Unpack nbh-file with nbhextract, and create nbh file back with htc rom tool, including only os.nb. But this dont add extrom space to user storage.
I was found the way to enlarge user storage (see http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=37376&view=findpost&p=1476673), but its experemintal only.

i can't understand rus word.

See picture in those links, and see your device at Settings\Memory.
Is you understand Arabic digits ?

i means how to enlarge the os.nb, i can't understand your step by do it.
only flash the os.nb can't make it ,stll format the storage,in first boot.
but after format, no large ?

if i flash the os.nb by nbh, after first boot, format the extrom, choose yes, then i used the unlockextrom made by you, still has the extrom in sys root.

Yes, no large.
To enlarge user storage, you need use tadzio imgfs tools for create os.nb, fixup some errors in generated os.nb by hand and winhex, and flashing from SD-card.
I will prepeare more detail instruction and soft for this task.

Use unlockextrom, and you will have extrom at sys root. And can modify it.

i have extrom at sys root,but i want to del the extrom .let os used the extrom .

now it impossible.

? it's not your picture means?

At this picture - result of removing free space from os.nb + extrom size 2MB and all other space is user storage.

well, i know the means, show us your tools ,that's great , can make the new size dump, and replace the .vm , make the new size os.nb

Cooking my own ROM..any smart people here?

Hi folks!
I've got a few questions..
Dont burn me down with *search wiki* TRUST ME, I DID!..I didn't even want to start a thread.
I use "Der Hermes Rom Koch v0.99.6.1* It works great! *but it doesnt open (for example) 04_ExtROM.nb, I get the error; "...Critical Error: Couldn't create imgfs_raw_data.bin"
But what I wanted to know is;
#1 How can I make an extended rom .nb (with my own files (.CAB's))
#2 And when I want to edit an OS.nb, how do I know what the normal (os wm6) files are and how do I know what file's to remove that are added in the OS.nb, by another person.
*hope you understand my questions
*I really used search!!!!

At the moment there is no "autmatic" tool to create a ExtROM nb file, you can put what you want on your unlocked extROM folder and then use rbmc command from bootloader to dump the ExtROM, capture the output and reconstruc it with xxd (unix tool), but this is a very manual process and a Pain-in-the-Ass(tm). HOWEVER AnDim announced he'll release writing support for his ExtROM tool soon, see here:

There are several methods to do this, probably someone with more experience than me can tell u more clever methods, for a simple one, you can use bepe's package tool, and all that is not converted to a RK package means has been manually added to the rom by the person who did it.

How To: Atom Series Extended Rom Cooking

For Atom / Atom Pure / Atom Exec: Use WinImage Version 8.1 or similar program to edit IMG file. There are many programs that can do it.
Do not touch folders found in this image file. Programs that depend on these folders are: FM Radio, AutoConfig, WirelessManager, Camera, Equalizer, Album (life), ImageEditor (life)
The version of the Extended Rom is taken from the text file:
061020_AL1ARCWWE_EX0604.txt
The name is picked up versionCPAapplet.cpl (found in Settings->System Info)
So far, I did not encounter any problems changing the version numbers
The default folder name for this partition on your device is \_QHiddenPartition\ However, when we unlock this hidden partition at device runtime, we can not use the same folder name to install programs and lock it afterwards.
Normally, I used this partition to place the cabs I want to install at hard reset. This is no longer a problem with the cooked ATOM/ATOM EXEC ROMs we made because, serialzs introduced MortScript to do the automatic installation of cabs found in \_QHiddenPartition\ and \cabs\ folder found in storage card.
It is not necessary, however, to unlock the hidden partition just to edit the contents at device runtime. You can always use Total Commander to browse this partion by keying \_QHiddenPartition\ on the location bar.
For ATOM LIFE users, you can simply remove the 12-byte header of IMG file, and WinImage 8.1 can be used to edit the file. You need to restore the 12-byte header prior to flashing your device again.
tj your are very kind ^^;
Last time i ask.you say search.
i use search but still confuse cause alot of topic.
but now you posted this info.
THANKS YOU
thank you,i'm trying to cook and release WM 7.0 tonight. j/k
How to remove or add programs being install in order??? I found that del *.cab to remove the programs and copy *.cab to auto install the programs from extended rom. But i don't know the file where listed the programs is able install in the extended rom at hard reset. In the past,when i cooked BA rom, i remember that i can edit the file include the paths of the cabs I want to auto install at flash rom or hard reset.

The script runs through all cabs present in the the two locations stated above. You don't have to edit any list like you do for AutoRun in BA. Also, AutoRun does not work with cab installation that require user interaction. Now, as for your question regarding the order they go - it's alphabetical.
Hi jiggs!!
You awesome! I have added my operator in autoconfig list, all work fine, now I have all settings for my operator!
THANKS A LOT!!
interesting in rom cooking, thats what i.m always thinking about,.
but i'm afraid to do this, i'm afraid i'll bring my atom unusable,.
thanks anyway jiggs,.

Open the file with an HEX-editor, cut the first 12 bytes and save the file. That's all.
You can use "XVI32". This Hex-editor is included in the original Scooter-ROMkitchen.
Hi all,
I use remotePROTECT as a security measure on my Atom - I find the program great.
It will be even better if I place it in extROM (hidden partition) so that it will install again upon hard reset.
I've followed the instructions that come with the software - they require me to place the program's CAB file in the extROM along with the setupE file.
I tried that - did a hard reset and nothing happened - didn't install.
I have an O2 Atom with an official ROM release installed.
Is there anything else I need to do? I note there is an Autoinst.dat file in the hidden partition, but it's encrypted or gibberish so I can't do much with it.
If I've overlooked anything can someone please suggest what I can do to make this do what I want - install itself again after hard reset.
Thanks in advance.

If you have read the first post carefully, then you will understand that this won't work because the built-in AutoInstall of the official ROM restricts to signed CABs only as defined by list with no known format as of this date. That's why we have cooked ROMs to bypass this and created another AutoInstall script. There are work arounds for your purpose but definitely this solution is not for you. You have to do some research on this forum.

you need to secure this from your operator.
although you can edit the xml files with notepad, I don't know if the GUID found there is important. you can also generate your own GUID to have a unique value.
select the existing xml that best fit your requirements and edit it. you can't edit the cabs found in the networks because they are signed. you need to provision your own cabs. it's more like provisioning certificates using cabs.

thank you very much indeed. I found xml files for defualt operator and also txt file wich list this operators. Gussed that first input my operator to that list and then create new xml. but i figured if any guide for what all of this xml comands mean and the whole format.
and another question : how to edit or change cabs? I have a background of programming with c++ and visual basic.net. Is it possible for me to create my own cab without too much effort? and with which compiler ?
tnx

Jiggs,
I am using an atom life, I fould that I could not browse the extended rom with Total Commander. In my memory, I should be able to use TC to browse the extended rom on my ATOM EXEC. Do you know what I am doing wrong?
By the way, is it possible to unhide the extended rom?

You must simply type \_QHiddenPartition in Total Commander to switch to Extended ROM.
Btw: It's described in the Atom Wiki. You should read it.

For AtomLife ExtRom.img.
Anyone was successful to flash editted ExtRom.img of AtomLife with DSUU? If possible, could you please show me few experience to Update ExtRom via DSUU.
Ex: Remove 12bytes header/edit(add or remove anything can do)/restore 12bytes header. Then replace new ExtRom.img in \Window\temp\ExtRom.img and delete \Window\temp\FLASH.DIO while completed extract of DSUU running. Then imitate DSUU instruction. Is it right? This way, I cuccessed to new Flash.dio for AtomLife.

HOW to get extended rom in DCD 2.3.1

1. you will need No2chem's basekit 5048.
2. you need DCD's kitchen 2.3.1
Then the fun part....
Go into No2Chem's OEM/OEMDrivers directory and copy the OEM_FLASHDRV.DLL folder.
Paste it into DCDs kitchen OEM/OEMDrivers directory.
Then go to DCDs ROM/XIP directory and edit the boot.rgu file.
Add these lines to the bottom of the boot.rgu file.
*******************************************************************
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\EXT_FLASHDRV]
"DefaultFileSystem"="FATFS"
"Name"=""
"PartitionDriver"=""
"MountHidden"=dword:0
"Folder"="Extended_ROM"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\EXT_FLASHDRV\FATFS]

"Order"=dword:13
"IClass"=multi_sz:"{A4E7EDDA-E575-4252-9D6B-4195D48BB865}"
*******************************************************************
Then get the no2chem_nueExtROM package and put it into the DCD OEM directory.
BUILD - BURN - ENJOY!!!
P.S. Thanks No2chem and DCD for the awesome work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.P.S. There might be an easier way but this worked for me.

Is there a purpose for having the Extended Rom? With older devices you were able to unlock the extended rom and use it like an internal memory card but afaik there is no way to unlock the extended rom, right?

How much space is in the ExtRom?
Slightly less than 10MB
thanks dude...i've been working on a custom rom for myself and no i can include this....whooottttttt
so is this like another 10mb to put things onto, or 10mb for programs to use?
Is the extrom cleared with a hard reset? If not, it could be cool to store CABs in there to reinstall your programs after flashing. Isn't this what happens when the Sprint customization runs?

its like having a 10mb sd card inyour phone, it doesnt get cleared unless you run a stock rom ruu or delete files from it. nice to have in case you have to hard reset out on the road, you can get all your cabs installed without an sd card
The EXTRom is copied from ROM during a hard reset. So anything you put in there will get erased and copied over from the ROM. There should be a way to create a .nb for the ExtROM and flash your device with it to pre-populate the cab's you want in there tho.

hmm. thats not how it worked on the apache. a hard reset just touches the os rom, not the extended rom. otherwise it would erase the carrier info and programs on a hard reset... that would defeat the purpose of it.
hello, I followed the guide exactly and was successfully able to unlock the extrom and erase /write to it, but i now have Extrom and Extrom2 in the file explorer. they are both the same 9mb memory allocation ( i wrote files to both,, different files, and soft reset. Both drives ended up showing the 2nd file i wrote to whichever extrom, so they are the same drive. anyone have any ideas how to correct this?

Ummm... no it restores the OS and Extended Partitions. Your carrier info is not located in the Ext ROM it's located in .provxml files in the OS. Customization programs are located in Ext ROM and during a hard reset are restored.
You also basically just retyped what I explained in my post. The Carrier provided files in the Ext ROM are restored during a hard reset. But anything you have put in there by unlocking the Ext ROM and making it read/write will be gone after a hard reset.
Feel free to try it yourself.

After reading some of these posts I wanted to clear a few things up but then I noticed Fallingup had it exactly correct!!!!
Only two ways to wipe your extended rom...
1. unlock it and erase it yourself OR
2. Install a custom .nbh file specifically designed to over right the extended rom.
If you uncompress an OEM rom.exe file you will probably find thee .nbh files.
1. is for the rom itself (like what DCD and No2chem put together)
2. is the Radio!
3. Contents of the extended rom.
Since we our content directly to the rom through OEM packages it is unnecessary to have cabs there for a custom rom install. Therefore, no one wastes there time building custom .nbh files to write to the extended rom. ALSO, if you have it unlocked, when you build your custom OEM packages, you can specifically target the extended rom just like you target the windows directory. NOTE: this last bit is for completeness all that is really needed is an emphatic statement... The Extended rom DOES survive a hard reset AND it survives a CUSTOM rom install as well. (unless you build a custom .nbh file to write to it)

theres actually a third way, which is when the xip specifies to format the extended_rom partition, which would cause your extended rom to be empty on boot, even if you wrote to it during a flash.
also, you don't need to download the entire basekit, i posted the necessary files to insert to oem on my website. also, stroths has developed a cab so you don't have to install it to rom.

Do we still need to modify the file in XIP. Because I tried your files (not from basekit) and I added the code from 1st post. I ended up with 2 ExtRoms. both duplicates.

TFAT Image Editor for editing ExtROM (author unknown)
HSPL for Gene to be able to flash custom ROMs here - (procedure) (Olipro)
Excellent guidance for upgrading Gene ROM by Mobix here (Mobix)
I know there are a lot many other files for editing the rgu files and creating hv files but I didnt try them. I dumped the ROM successfully and still learning to delete or add packages. Although I am not saying that I successfully flashed my Gene with the ROM I cooked, but learning never stops till someone expert comes along to explain things and to guide us cooking wannabes to a nice kitchen and a nice personalised ROM Your suggestions and guidance and advices are all more than welcomed here
The post below is where I am going to post the packages I create and the one below that is where I am going to put up the problems I face so no one else will repeat and brick their phones
Also attached the original Gene RUU, just in case
I did my part of dumping the OS.nb in HyperCore as mentioned in anichillus's thread here. Then I used the package tool to make packages from the dump and transfer the SYS and OEM folder to Build. I haven't yet mastered the art of adding or deleting the packages here but I certainly deleted the useless images and theme files which eats up space. Post that I did the BuildOS which created the OS-New.nb very nicely. Used HTCrT tool to create the new RUU_Signed.nbh with the OS and ExtRom. While flashing the RUU showed "Flash Write Error" at about 99%. Need guidance after or prior to that, although will not stop trying and will keep posting the progress so far here

Problems I have faced so far
When I tried to recreate the hive files (default and user) Problem was faced in default.hv. Attached CMD screen, default.rgu and boot.rgu file - Solution: Found by Orefkov here
After I tried to flash my Gene with my custom cooked ROM, it left me with a blank phone. Although I passed the 1st splash screen then it was blank - Solution: Found by Anichillus here

that is great inputs my friend.. can u be kind enough to also post the link to these tools? please.. it will be easier to arrange for all readers
@orefkov
did your gene comeback?
did it die?
Work with registry.
Some key's names in gene registry have '\' (slash) symbol in it.
Rgucomp dont work with this. You need replace '\' in key's names on '\\'.
I write simple script for it.
try to make the chs rom ver.
but need your help.

i did download ur archieve... saw the readme.. so should i just run both batch files without editing anything? i dont need to edit anything right?
by the way.. updated the first post with the archieve, it will be easier for others to follow

Flash RAPH with .nb0 image ... How??

Greetings Team,
I want to flash the Raph device Touch Pro with .nb0 image...what should i do? can i convert it to nbh? does the kitchen can help?
Thanks
nbsplit the .nb0 with -kaiser param, check the extra data to make sure it's proper, if it is then it's already striped to work on our NAND, rename to os.nb and add it to an nbh using one of the nbh generators that works for our raph
if it's not striped properly for the raph you need to nbsplit it, then nbmerge with -kaiser param first
nbsplit & nbh Generators!

Thank you very much dear actually i am not an expert to this level
The image is specifically for Raph so does this mean its stripped properly?
Second, what and where can i find about nbsplit? and what is -kaiser program?
Regards
Shamshoun!

If you didn't understand Da_G's previous post, you should probably stick to cooking a ROM in a prebuilt kitchen or flashing a normal (ie nbh) ROM
Alternatively, try searching for "nbsplit" and trying other things
Also, why do you have a nb0 anyway?
