ok right now i'm running the love rom on my g4 wizard. how do i reflash my original cingular rom? i know, it sounds like a nub question but here is the problem. it will flash then hang at 80% and the progress bar will turn red. it will then pick up again and continue to 95% then turn red, fail and say error 326 invalid command. i downloaded the updater directly from htc.

Yeah it doesnt work....Your now stuck with the Wizard Love Rom or you can upgrade to another rom but you cant go back to the original Cingular Rom.

That ROM is for a G3 Wizard, Check your PM's
ok i reflashed with your method and i'm back to my cingular rom. thanks a lot!
(big reason to go back was it was the only rom that my school's wifi app would work with, plus the love rom in combo with orwells wm6 wasn't cool. that splash was ugly IMO)

All you have to do is download and install the Ext Rom cabs manually. This may still be available on the ftp. If not PM me.
It worked for me
Thanks a lot ercave1, the ROM flashed flawlessly, however the EXT ROM didn´t came up by itself. The features I´m missing are as follows:
1.- USB switch to select activesync mode to serial or RNDIS is missing, regardless this USB sync to PC (Activesync 4.5) is alive and working well.
2.- ClearVue pdf is missing, not a big loss and I really don´t care since there´s another alternatives to read and diisplay pdf documents.
3.- GetGood and in general all connection settings! I don´t give a s**t!!
4.- MIDlet Manager, big loss... I´m going to keep trying to download Risidoro_Intent_MIDlet_ Manager_V11 whenever the ftp be up and running again. So no worries.
5.- Voice Speed Dialing Settings icon in both the Program ans Setting screens are missing, however the software is running when I press the known VSD button.
6.- Cingular carrierlogo! I don´t care I have my own logo.
And I guess that´s it !
Regardless the comments above, I´d like to learn how to "extract" the correspondent EXT ROM cab files, if you guys have and advice on it would be great.
Thanks again ercave1 for the big help

Yes, this is because the Ext Rom was wiped out by the G3 Rom having been flashed on your G4 devices. I don't remember reading about a fix for this, but you may want to search through the forum. The only solution I'm aware of is to install the Ext Rom manually.
I'm glad you guys got the device running again.

Reflashing ExtROM CID Locked

it is the first step. if someone can polish it (I do not speak English good).....
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Already many know that mun built Shell Of tool, which was capable of pouring axis into Wizard G4 with [lochennym] [Sidom], but to the enormous regret it does not know how to pour with [ekstrom].
Recently it decided to be played a little with the program of nb2nbf and to verify, is it possible by nevertheless any means to renew also Extended Of rom to CID-Locked apparatuses. And which there was my happiness, when I revealed after [pereproshivki] that he renewed.
It decided by the same method to try to flood Splash Of screen and HTC Of logo - everything proved to be very simply.
In view of the small quantity of information on the forum on [devaysu] Of wizard G4, it decided to build brief instruction on its [pereproshivke].
1. We stitch through apparatus by pure piercing - Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii+CF2.
http://rapidshare.com/files/8651097/Wizard...E_Novii_CF2.rar
2. By the program of typho5 we unpack nbf the file of piercing, which we desire to pour into the beast.
First we fill up into the folder with the program of nbf, and then start with the parameter of typho5.exe - x nk.nbf. After procedure we obtain several files, in number of which is contained OS itself, Extended Of rom, and also as a rule Splash Of screen and HTC Of logo.
([ZY]. For convenience in the use of program made [batnik]. Simply you will place nbf into the folder and will neglect typho.bat)
3. Now we gather our nbf file, each at will can include any desired components in it, naturally, except axis itself.
4. We go in very [progu] of nb2nbf and we make the following tuning:
- We establish Model ID: WIZARD
Language: it is empty
OEM: it is empty
Operator of version: it is empty
CID: it is empty ([ochen]_[vazhno]); remove the numbers, which are contained inside the field
- We establish [galochku] opposite “File of # 1”, we click on the button of survey (button with three points), we find the file Of extended Of rom' and (in the folder of typho5, the exemplary name of 9b000000-Extension.nb)
- In the field “Of start Of address” we enter 9b00000
- In the field “Of image Of name” we enter Extension Of rom (not Extended Of rom, you be attentive!!!)
- In the point “Of file of # 2” we find Splash Of screen, in the field of address we enter 92000000, in the field “of image of name” we write Splash Of screen.
- In the point “Of file of # 3” we find HTC Of logo, in the field of address we write 9d000000, in the field “of image of name” we write WITH HTC Of logo.
- We press button “Translate”
- Extended ROM is ready, it is possible to stitch through.
Unnecessary for you files it is possible simply not to include, but to insert, for example, only one by [ekstrom].
5. We place the obtained file of nbf into the folder [proshivalshchikom] and start. Procedure as with the usual piercing, lasts in all the pair of minutes.
6. We pour the axis Of shell Of tool' ohm from mun' of a.
Finale - valuable piercing

I enumerated the options since each have its own reason
1- Use Winrar to open RUU.exe and use typhoonnbfdecode.pl to extract the 10MB file (0xA00000 bytes) of the extended rom from nk.nbf
2- oops, same as 1 (and its nk.nbf- not nk.nba). hehe, my mistake
3- use pdocread.exe to read BDTL1 - or TRUEFFS_DOC1 (use my Wizard Service Tool as it can be done with a few clicks )
4- Unhide extended_rom and use Active Sync to copy the files to PC (or, once again use my tool to do the same )
cheers
Sounds great to me!

I tried it, actually, this is working until the soft restart the plugin. After that the prophet is going VERY slow (+15s to open windows directory, instead of 3s usually).

I've had that problem also. It got very slow. I tought it was something else I might have done, so I hard Reseted my device and never used the program since(because I don't use the HTC Home plugin - I just wanted to try the program).
yeah guys it make my prophet very slow
any solution can we do it ?
Hi there,
Thanks for this great app! But anyone has problems with running HTC Audio Manager in WM5? It doesn't work on my Prophet. It gives me the known 'trusted certificate' message when I try to run it. Please help
My prophet also got VERY slow! I recognized that the home plugin customizer placed about 200-300 files in windows/ (HH_....)
i think this is the reason for slow performance!
I can't understand why some programs place their files in /windows instead of this the files coulb be saved in Windows/HH_home_plugin .... or something like that.
If someone is able to do that,pleaso DO IT!!!
I considered to delete the files in /windows but i dont wanted to delete any of the "origin" home plugin files
sorry for my horrible english
Hey,
I'm the author of the customizer and I'd like to hammer out the slowness issue. The only thing I can think of is that the files are installed to a different location on your prophet (from ROM install) than the customizer is checking for. Could someone please let me know when the files are found on the device with the default plugin? I would like to fix this for the next version which is just about done.
Thanks,
emunutz

From what i've been able to find out, the slow down happens because when the program applies a skin, or just a part of it(it doesn't really matter if it's all or just a part), the files in windows folder are replaced, but as they are ROM files, the replacing of the files doesn't really overwrite them, and being so, the list of files becomes longer and longer, and that causes the PPC to slow down.
So, in my opinion, the solution starts by not having the plugin included in the rom(correct me if i'm saying nonsenses), and maybe putting it in the extrom, and making the installation go to a differente folder.

I agree, a different folder would completely resolve this issue. For instance, schen's cab installs almost everything (except HTC HDlg.exe,HTC HDlg.0409.mui, and HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml) to \HTCHome. How easy/hard would it be for the cookers to change that and is it worth changing to get better "compatiblity" with the customizer?

hi again
what I tryed to do in my V4 & 5 of prophet touch roms was to move the images to HTC folder with intflashfile.txt like this
Directory("\HTC\Home"):-File("HH_BEZEL_fill.png","\Windows\HH_BEZEL_fill.png")
but that only made a copy of the original file so I had 2 copies of the same image...
1 in HTC folder and 1 in windows folder, but what I wanted to do is move the files to HTC folder
so if anyone knows how I could do it properly I'd be verry happy,
because it would make the rom faster and would also make this customiser program even more affective.

Saving themes should not affect your device. When you save a custom theme, all the customizer does is save the name you gave it in an "ini" file in the customizer's FILES directory. Now applying a theme is a different story as that's when it's copying files to your device.
Could you or someone else test this out a little more? I'd like to release v0.8 today but if this is indeed the issue, I'd like to fix it before release.
first i am mistake about saving theme ..... i was wanted to say make backup not saving theme

Simple steps on howto
1. download the kitchen Download
2. download Prophet Touch X rom Get it here
3. extract Kitchen and Prophet Touch X to separate folder
4. Place the OS.nb from Prophet Touch X in the rom folder of the Kitchen
5. run Buildos.exe and choose what to include (the marked apps are the once that are in Prophet Touch X) press the green play button and wait for it to finish
6. run CreateROM.bat (if there is any error the you have included to much in the Buldos prosess)
7. if there were no error the new OS.nb is in the temp folder move it to the Prophet Touch X folder and overwrite the os.nb in it
8. flash any step 1 WM5
9. now Flash your new rom within Prophet Touch X folder
if everything is done right you should have your new coocked rom on your Prophet
I have put all the things that should not be removed into the SYS folder so do only make changes to the OEM folder till you know more about cooking .
replace the HTC Audio Manager with this one
View attachment OEMAudioManager.zip
New HTC Album with folder option
View attachment HTCAlbumFolderOption.zip
Extras and links
I'll upload some addons for the kitchen later on as I've made more OEM packs
You can also search for oempacks to include but be aware that some OEM packs are device depented
Some cool tools that I use but have not included in kitchen You'll need to understand what they do before using them
HyperCore Kitchen cool for dumping roms and building ( I use it for dumping)
this is great.. awesome.
Great job Gullum. Now guys, we all should start frying Hokienmee or Char Kueh Teow (both chinese cuisine)

good news
i'll try it
for every change in X and flashing it, is it always necessary to do step 1 again (wm5 flashing) ?
When I do hard reset and at the "tap screen to go on" point, I could start flashing X too ?
What I mean, is the complete rom exchanged when I flash X, or do some parts from wm5 or old X (IX, VIII ....) remain ?
I've try to cook today.. BUt seems something is going wrong...
Better I flashed it back to the original touch X ROM...
I also had some bad luck with cooking.
I did everything gullum said, flashed 'new' TouchX, did hard reset and then when its time to see welcome screen and 'press any key.....' there is blank white screen! Nothing happens no matter which button i press! Any ideas?

I did the same think.
At my case, i have enter today screen.. But I think, its programs don't install clearly.. (hard reset don't help either.)
The first screen is the same one as you.. The white one.. Maybe you should to try ask Gullum again..
I just flash back to Touch IX with another Ext ROM. QuickMenu in that ext.ROM
thanks gullum
I would like to translate this rom to Portuguese can you give some advices? our some tutorial to do that, please? can i do that with this soft?
best regards
thanks (for this perfect kitchen) gullum ,some 3 questions i have :
1.>how to get oem or make one ,and
2.>how to get .dsm , .rgu files of my favorite software . and
3.>how do i make registry changes prior to build os are they automatic
Note :ext_rom files attributes should be read only since its like that in original rom so i made them read only(i think its healthy for system files any virus won't be able to modify it unless the file needs to be appendable updateable it should be read only),plus i deleted alot of thumbs.db files lying in many folders (about >2mb) just to clean oem folder files off thumbs.db i know winxp might be making them all the way .
i corrected audio manger with this kitchen (its gr8),i can't seem to solve camera album (have solved solution given below )problem ,it seems to have come back you know i can't use gestures , what to do ,any reg setting solution.
Edit : **corrected** the setting in reg hklm\software\htc\htcalbum\cacheserial to 2130706432
and hklm\software\htc\htcalbum\default_viewer to 0
if it still don't get solved set first 11 enteries (h_enable to v_pos) value to 0 in
hklm\software\htc\htcalbum\touchscroll\htcalbumclass

2 reasons 1.> i hope you are pressing play(top left in build OS)button after whatever you choose,with what ever you want in it.
2.>your file size has to be limited its almost full with this kitchen so you have to remove some item like voice dialing (which i seldom use) or some other item removed before you add some item since size dependency is very important here ,and later run create rom .remember you cannot select everything because of space limitation .
Hello Gullum
I'm trying to do very basic thing adding Windows Live package into the OS.nb but it fails during CreatROM.bat. At BuildImgfs.exe the application BuildImgfs.exe crashes and show the error message and whether to send a report to MS or not (I don't send...).
I just directly add Windows Live to your OS.nb. Is it already fully loaded? Should I remove something before?
question with task manager
something is wrong with task manager.
in control panel ,its setting doesn't work!
Same problem.
Whatever i select in buildOS, BuildImgfs crashes.
Last records is CreateROM.bat window is:

Just delete it before kitching.
I'm happy to announce that, thanks to the awesome work done by the wing-linux project, it is now possible to run Android on the Startrek. Well, kind of.
Limitations
As of now, functionality is pretty limited on this hardware. The telephony drivers do work, and they automatically pick up many carriers like AT&T, but the most important apps for placing phone calls (Dialer and Contacts) will crash if you try to run them. This is a known issue related to the phone's lack of a touch screen. Audio playback is unsupported, though I've found that the microphone works during phone calls (which I've placed using commands via SSH). The external LCD only displays white.
Interestingly, Android is about as responsive as Windows Mobile on the device. There is no option (yet) to install the OS permanently; Instead, wing-linux installs to an easily-removable file on your SD card (required).
Instructions
Before you begin, make sure you have about 300MB of free space on the microSD card. (wing-linux requires installing to the microSD at the moment).
UPDATE (Nov. 10 2009)
The new wing-linux 0.4 release includes Startrek support! You can skip the list of instructions below and just install wing-linux normally. See their site for more information.
Download wing-linux (site) and extract it to your computer.
Follow the normal instructions for installing wing-linux, pretending that your phone model is the HTC Elf instead of the Startrek for now.
[*]After wing-linux is installed, browse to your microSD card using your computer and open the folder named "linux".
[*]Download the patched version of zImage, attached to this post.
[*]Replace the "zImage" file in the "linux" folder with the patched version you just downloaded. (This adds support for the Startrek's keypad to Android.)
[*]Open the file named "default.txt" and change the first line, from "set MTYPE 2372" to "set MTYPE 2487". (This tells Android that we're using a Startrek.)
[*]Save everything, place the microSD back into the phone, and start wing-linux again.
[*]After waiting a few minutes, you should have a fully navigable Android desktop!
Button Layout
I have attached a handy button diagram to this post, but the basic ones you need to know are:
Android's "MENU" button is the Startrek's "Home" button.
Android's "Back" button is the Startrek's right softkey (above the Hangup button).

Yes, I mentioned that. This isn't a final or polished release; it's just to play around with.
Works pretty good! none of the letter keys seem to work but , i did get the on screen keyboard to come up once but now i don't know what i did to get it to come up. I don't know how to remove widgets from the screen once i add one. Also how do i turn it off and get back to windows? Do i just have to pull the battery? Great job though! i can't wait to see if it will get fully functional!

Don't worry, I've observed all of the same things. And yes, I've just been popping off the battery cover to reboot for now.

Download wing-linux (site) and extract it to your computer.
Follow the normal instructions for installing wing-linux, pretending that your phone model is the HTC Elf instead of the Startrek for now.
After wing-linux is installed, browse to your microSD card using your computer and open the folder named "linux".
Download the patched version of zImage, attached to this post.
Replace the "zImage" file in the "linux" folder with the patched version you just downloaded. (This adds support for the Startrek's keypad to Android.)
Open the file named "default.txt" and change the first line, from "set MTYPE 2372" to "set MTYPE 2487". (This tells Android that we're using a Startrek.)
Save everything, place the microSD back into the phone, and start wing-linux again.
After waiting a few minutes, you should have a fully navigable Android desktop!

EDITED ... I understand !
Update: Now with less hackery!
The wing-linux project has released version 0.4, with Startrek support built-in. You no longer have to do the special steps outlined in the original post. Hooray!
Does the 0.4 update offer any more function than the last one? I'm downloading right now but, i thought i would ask.

Other than having Startrek support already included, it shouldn't be much different from 0.4pre. I think there is a file manager application, now.

but when i active the icon in start menu , this massage appear :
cannot open script file \storage card\linux\default.txt

of course it can't be done .
contents of " default.txt " is different .
apparently , we must make the " default.txt " with notepad . but what's it's contents ? maybe a path that guide haaret for booting kernel .
COntent of default.txt
set MTYPE 2487
set KERNEL "zImage"
set INITRD "initramfs.cpio.gz"
set CMDLINE "debug quiet psplash=false loglevel=7 init=/sbin/init console=tty0 video=omapfb:accel gsm-wizard.noreset=1 gsm-wizard.noload=1 4"
log "earlylog.txt"
bootlinux

Above is the content of the file, though I would suggest you to reinstall the whole cab as I don't have this problem after installation.

Bingo !!!!!!!!
thanks . now it is installed !
booting is slow ( maybe for first time )
Glad it'd help you. Ya, booting is slow and you have to press red button (end call) when it loaded to a stage with the ANDROID, then you will only greet with the Android logo. Enjoy!
Hi everybody
so cool ! I wish full ability of android was accessible !!
more questions : can wing linux complete development of this project ?
I know some linux developers , can a linux expert remap keyboard or run other parts?
what about other packages like phone , bluetooth ? how we can have complete functionality of android on startrek?
can anybody answer?
MTYPE 2487 in default.txt
doesn't work with qtek 8500, must change to 2372.
With this change I can boot linux, but after setup, run the calibration utility, and startrek isn't a touchscreen device as you know. How can bypass this?
I am trying to use Android on my Leo, Im running an Energy rom and I "think" i have the 2.12 radio installed and i have the android files etc on my SD card but when i boot into linux it stops and the screen goes blank.
Please help. It would be cool if some kind person would give me the links for the Roms and Radios that work with android.
I'm not a pro on android or anything but if you want to confirm the radio that you have installed on windows go to the settings tab > about phone > software information
Hi dude...good choice to put Android on your HD2...it runs AWESOME.
I was a die hard HD2 windows fan, but ever since i installed android....WOW...awesome.
1: Download this bare-bones windows ROM, with auto load android on it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=774417
1:Task29 your device
2: Hspl
3: flash radio...most radio roms work, but check first....2.12.50+ etc is good...is what i use.
4: Format SD card
5ownload an Android build from the android part of the forum.
6: When download complete, right click on the complete download and select extract files.
You need to extract the files to whatever your sd card is called...for example 'E:'
6b: When you open your SD card after extraction, there should only be a folder called 'Android' on root of your card.
7: when they have been extracted to your sd card...restart phone, and you will get a lush bootscreen asking you 2 AWESOME things, with 2 possible answers ;-)
Boot android?
Boot windows mobile?
8: Just tap on the one you would like to boot.
9: On first boot, it can take anything up to 3- mins to first boot Android etc...but mostly takes 5-10 mins......LEAVE your device on until it finishes.
It may seem like it's doing nothing, as you may very well get a blank screen etc...but trust me...it's working.
trust me, you wont ever go back to windows mobile..hehe

Ok manageed to get Abdroid working, restarted the device back into normal winmo, loaded the bootloader and now it just shows green screen ???
Basically, just pull out yuh battery, make sure your sd card is in, with only one folder (which contains android build) called 'Android'
When you restart, that ozroid windows mobile rom i directed you too, will auto pop up asking if you want to boot android or win mo.
if 'win mobile' is bright and selectable, but the 'android' option is a dark unselectable colour (if u can not boot android or it says android not available or not present etc) then format sd card, make sure nothing is on it....
....then extract Android folder to SD card....then when u restart phone, if you used that ozroid win mobile rom, it will pop up within 10 seconds asking which operating system u wanna boot.
select android, then wait, it might take 10 mins, possibly even 30mins for first boot, but be patient.
if u have no luck, reply here or PM me...and i'll whack up a video tutorial for you in morning m8...no probs.
Matt
try this dude.....
