Newbee: Modifying Ext. Rom with ER2003 Edit

[claudioita]

Hi ,
Just downloaded the ER2003 EDIT utility to modify the Extended ROM in my XDA2.
Previously I also downloaded some ROM files available from this web site. Like the RUU15283wwe_cdl.exe

What I am missing now is how to create my own Extended ROM.
The question is the ER2003 Edit asks for an NBF file.

What I have is only EXE file that when I install, automatically decompress and they try to install directly on the pocketPC.

Am I missing something?

Is it possible to have the Extended ROM .NBF file of the Imate version?

Thanks and regards,
Claudio.

Claudio,

Just extract the ROM image (the exe file) with Winzip to a new folder.
Then you can open the ms_.nbf file with er2003edit.

Grtz,

Jos

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I unzipped the file and it comes out an EXE file. When I double click on the EXE file it does not decompress into files, but it starts an InstallShield Wizard, and it begin an installation process.

Can I modify this?

Claudio,

Just unzip this file again with Winzip in a new folder.

You should get 6 files:
- HimaClearJumpCode.exe
- HimaGetDeviceData.exe
- HimaUpgradeUt.exe
- ms_.nbf
- NK.nbf
- Radio_.nbf

The extended ROM is contained in the ms_.nbf file.
When you change the ROM, you should also modify the config.txt file in the ROM.
The ROM upgrade of the XDA can be started with HimaUpgradeUt.exe.

Grtz,

Jos

Hi,


alternatively: When the Installshield setup starts, browser to your temp folder and you will find the extracted files in a sub-folder. Just copy the files to another folder and close the Installshield wizard (which will delete the original extracted files)
