its not new. its been done in the past to fix VZ users who let Sprint customizations run. I think the trick is properly sending the /Refurbish parameter. I once made a cab with a shortcut to launch the .exe with that parameter, but it seemed to only work for about 50% of people who tested it.

still have cab?

Is it possible you still have the cab, I loaded Vista and haven't gotten all of my tools working yet.

This is the verizon one.

Thanks
I am a little rusty with cabarc.

Guys, if you read the thread on ppcgeeks, you'll see I've already posted there that I've TRIED radiorefurbish WITH the proper /Refurbish parameter and it does not work.

Are you 200% sure that whatever you are using to execute the command is correctly sending the parameter? this is all the verizon customizations do. config.txt should say "EXEC: /Windows/RadioRefurbish.exe /Refurbish"
I know I spoke with NexxVision in the past and he had no problems using it outside of verizon customize. I think I also remember reading that /Refurbish is case sensitive.

I got nowhere with /Refurbish... but when I did /refurbish... that worked.

Yes I'm 200% sure. I've made my own shortcut link with the parameter included as well as tried with Resco Explorer 2008. Both /Refurbish and /refurbish did not work. Nitro, it must have been a fluke, I don't know what to tell you.

it works on the Stock original verizon rom. I couldn't get it to work on the latest and greatest. I believe it's WM6 specific. Not 6.1

LOL...it really doesn't matter if it works on the stock rom. If you have the stock rom flashed, it already ran as part of customizations. The entire point behind the thread on ppcgeeks was rolling back the PRI without having to flash back to stock, which as I've stated, is not possible.

its absolutely not impossible. there is no ability that the stock rom gives you that any other rom doesnt. it is simply executed by autorun. other people have been able to run radiorefurbish.exe within custom roms. talk to nexxvision. its an issue of correctly passing the parameter, the exe seems to be touchy.
i've personally rolled my PRI back using radiorefurbish in the past when i was messing with it before. i've never had the verizon stock ROM on my device.
i am sure that if the exe is run with the parameter by autorun (config.txt has to be modified) then it will have the same effect in any rom. if anyone wants to test, it would be a quick change to the UC package.

Only if I actually felt like pulling my XV6800 out. I really want to wipe the PRI off this Sprint Mogal and get it to the Verizon one. This roaming is annoying. LOL

I'm not doubting that it's never worked before...because I too have had it work a while ago when I had to roll back from the Sprint PRI. Since then, I've tried to use it on several different occasions on several different roms not changing my method that worked the first time whatsoever, and it does nothing. That's all I'm saying. If you can somehow get it to work, more power to you.

i'll give it a try

I flashed the new verizon rom and had the customizations run before I knew it was a bad thing. I am on the new verizon radio and dcd 3.2.6.
Just need some prompting on how to run it. I usually flash via sd with uc via sdconfig.

if you just want to try... copy the radiorefurbish.exe to the /Windows directory. Then in Resco explorer... highlight the file... then go to Run... type /refurbish in the paramaters part. If that does nothing... try /Refurbish

Installing Alltel ROM on Sprint Mogul

Hi,
I really want to install the Alltel ROM on my Sprint Mogul. I've searched around and didn't come up with anything, so can someone more knowledgeable on the subject tell me if this is a good idea, or if it's begging to have my phone bricked:
I downloaded the Alltel ROM and extracted its NBH contents using nbhextract. The CID is set to ALLTE001.
I also downloaded the newest Sprint ROM and extracted its NBH contents. That one's CID is set to SPCS_001.
Can I use nbhgen to change the CID of the Alltel ROM to Sprint's?
*edit: Nevermind. Gave this a shot and just got an error from RUU.
Um, yeah you will get an error. And, why are you trying this in the first place?
I use Cricket for my service. I've gotten everything except incoming MMS to work, and the problem is with how Sprint's Data Provisioning is nested in the Mogul's Sprint ROM. There are IOTA settings in the registry, but I really have no idea about how to modify them since Cricket doesn't require any data provisioning.
On my 6700, ArcSoft would automatically dial the connection I had specified in the settings when an MMS arrived. Now, it attempts to connect to Power Vision, and I get an IOTA error about how the device failed to connect to Power and I should contact Sprint. I know that the Alltel ROM would not have these problems.
Another idea that I had was to completely replace my current registry with Alltel's (I have a complete dump), but I'm not too sure how to go about doing that, either. When I restore the file with PHM, the Sprint and Alltel settings just coexist with eachother.
If you have any ideas or suggestions here, they'd be appreciated.
my understanding of crickets data services was that they use simple ip and a proxy for http. have you changed the mogul to use simple ip? i think all you really need is a way of stopping an IOTA aka "vision profile update"
Exactly, but I'm not sure how to go about stopping that. My latest venture is to get someone with an Alltel PPC6800 to take a full SPB backup of the registry, so that their settings will overwrite all of Sprint's.
Do you know of a way to disable IOTA?

delete the guardian file in Windows startup - then delete the IOTA folder - in program files.. this is what I did to make the mogul work on Alltel before they launched the 6800. I also went through the registry and deleted a couple of IOTA registry keys.. I can't remember where they were though.. Finally, I deleted the error 67 notification in the registry and everything worked perfectly..
Now that the Hard SPL for the device is out you can install the alltel rom directly from the exe after the hard spl is installed.
Yeah I got this going a few days ago. MMS is working perfectly now!
I ran Olipro's unlocker and popped the Alltel ROM WITH the ExtROM and everything works WITHOUT any special consideration. You could say that it "worked straight out the box".
Now the qyestions are 1) now that I've unpacked the RUU_signed.nbh, how do I repack it, and 2) where is the extended rom in the unpacked nbh? I guess these are the big questions for getting Mogul kitchens together and cooking ROMs.
Yeah the Alltel ROM is running pretty well. Definitely an improvement over the stock sprint ROM. Not a huge difference, but it's definitely worth the upgrade until we get some ROM Kitchens/Heavily Modified/Improved ROMs.
don't u guys miss java support?
I can't run opera mini anymore once I switched to Alltel...
Install Esmertec Cloudyfa Java it's better than the builtin on Sprint. Saving space if anything
so how do i get the alltel rom on my sprint mogel? if i am with sprint

go to ppc geeks and check out the 6800 forum.
instructions are at the top.
Is there a memory difference at all between the 2? If so, what is best to go with? What is the advantage to the Alltel one over the Sprint?...Sorry...kinda a n00b...but not really...lol
hate not having mms - flashin alltel now thanks guys!

EXTROM 3.35 stock questions. rilphone2.cab etc

Hey all. the new stock rom is running perfectly for me. I am however missing most of the customizations I have become used to in my DCD 2.3.2 cooked rom. I have decided at this point that I want to just add my stuff into device memory and run that for a while until all the kinks are worked out. I don't know if this has been covered before but I ran the nueextrom utility on the stock 3.35 rom and it worked!! to unlock the ext rom.
So, what do we need to keep in there and what can I delete. I will edit the config to not run the following from windows directory
1.Audible AIr
2.On Demand
3.Grove Mobile
4.Sprint TSK theme
So, with that in mind I need to know what the following are for please:
1.hidden.cab
2.rilphone2.cab (possibly something with tethering?)
3.chgscutattri.exe
Thanks to my fellow xda-ers...I know I only have two posts but have been on here religiously for 3 years.
Thanks,
Josh

Update complete screen concern

Well I updated ROM via SD card and now I have "Update Complete" "Update Success" on the screen but it's just sitting there and hasn't rebooted itself ???
I thought when it was finished it rebooted itself, does this mean the Hermes has hung at the last part or I need to do a reset manually myself ?
After it says Update Complete or Success, you need to press the reset button...
Thanks, I ended up doing that anyways as it seemed logical. All working well and thankyou for the input/help. No matter what I try I just can't seem to web browse on Vigins 3G internet so I'm actually thinking about trying one of your ROMs as I was told they were Aussie and maybe better suited to my needs.
You can also install his standalone cab file - CWW Enterprises AUS Operator Con.cab.
This will setup for major Aussie carriers....
Make sure you install the Arcsoft_MMS_4281.cab too before running the other cab... (there are newer versions but I just pasted a copy of the one I had before me)
Cheers...

Fanbloodytastic, thank you ever so much yet again. I've already been playing about with the Dopod since trying a couple of WM6 ROM's now and man I can see it's going to get alot more use than I had planned on. lol, seems to be fun in itself just trying the different ROM's.
Thank you again for all the help and a BIG thankyou to all those people who have put so much time and effort into these forums and cooking the ROM's.

Cannot use any of DCD's Kitchen's

Well, up until now, I have just used DCD's ROM's without customizing then, but I thought I would give the kitchen a shot. So, I downloaded DCD's latest and greatest kitchen of v3.2.2, also downloaded the .Net 2.0 link EXE fil from his page and tried to install it (cause you need it to run the kitchen) but I get an error, says that it is "incompatible with the previously installed version of .net"
so, i tried uninstalling all my .net stuff in add/remove, rebooting, and installing this, and still wont let me. i tried windows update and updated to 3.5, had 1.1 and 2.0 downloads as well, and nothing will work.....net will not install at all, no matter what version.
so i cannot get the kitchen to run...help....?
:: Connor
did you restart the computer? after, did you delete the entire extracted folder of the kitchen and re-extract it? that always works for me.
Using DCD's (BuildOS) Kitchen with Vista
If you have UAC active on Vista here is what I suggest. If you are seeing issues with default.hv, user.hv, boot.hv most likely you have a permissions issue. Delete your extracted directories - Create a Root folder, such as Kitchen - Select Properties of that folder in Explorer - Go to the Security Tab and choose Edit - highlight your Users group and choose full control and then OK. Extract your kitchen files into this location. Logic would tell you that you should be able to just change the permissions on your folder once you extract it - UAC and logic don't necessarilly run together.... So once you've created a Root directory, set the security, extracted the kitchen into this location - run buildNB.bat as you would anything else - good luck.
The same issue applies to Vista and .Net errors (.Net 2.0 is default in Vista)

No it is ok as Bean-town, only used as a verb. Still has the sports connotation, and can be used both offensively and defensively, and in all the sports Boston offers (Hockey, BB, Baseball, Football, etc).
Verb
To bean.
1. To hit with a projectile, accurately.
The pitcher beaned the batter, rather than letting him hit another home run.

So I am trying to get Album 3 to work with my ROM. I have tried many different packages with the same results. The menu text is way too small and now the screen just turns red. I have checked everything I could think of, was actually working on it for a good part of the day and I am so stuck. If I install it via cab it works fine.
Any ideas...anyone?
Can catch me on AIM, Yahoo or MSN. Use the same screen name as here and/or add live.com or yahoo.com
Thanks!
At0mAng, been a while since I made Legacypackages, but can you give this one a try? If you are having problems you may need the Album package to be introduced to the ROM at the end of the process. I forget with Legacy, but does OEM run last? might need to make it an OEM instead of Package with option(which I am attatching). Good luck

Thanks I will try. I am thinking it might be one of the OEM packages in my OEM folder causing a problem somewhere. Since I have been not cooking for awhile I am not sure what packages I can safely remove from OEM folder since TF3D2 and some other stuff have different dependecies. Tried a few things but nothing works. Does Album 3.X work on 6.1? I am running 21051.

I believe it does. I seem to recall having it working on a 6.1 ROM. But I think I had that font issue when I didn't have Media Toolkit (photopicker) included. Or maybe you just have an incompatible version? (or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about)

I gave up on Album 3. I thought photopicker had to be included. I tried many versions...
If it installs from CAB, it works well so everything that it needs is in ROM. The packages I tried must be missing a file. I thought it was the mui file, tried a few but with no luck. If you are anyone has the mui that works properly with it please post it
The only file that was missing was the mui so I am guessing it is that or a combo of things...
Try mine my friend, i found these ones with 0409 mui files, these ones always worked fine on my kitchens.

I am rebuilding my kitchen from scratch to try to find what the issue is
I believe that the issue is to do with an xml file in the album package, ha_skin_*.xml these need replacing or deleting. I cant remember which now. Do a search and this should bring this answer up
