:D OK, folks, I am scared of a lot of this, I guess because I don't understand it yet...I dl'ed hte Siemens file, unzipped it, now what....??

I see a file called AUTORUN, should I double click that file, and pray like anything??

I guess the simple word here is "HELP!!!!" :shock:

Thanks in advance for everybody's assistance!!

The Extended ROM is just a collection of applications and patches that the provider included with the phone... for instance, the O2 Ext. ROM includes a PDF/Power point viewer .cab in theirs that I-Mate doesn't include with the PDA2k Ext. ROM. The naming convention of these .cabs makes it semi-difficult to find out what each .cab does without testing it. To install a .cab, simply copy it over to your phone, browse to its location and tap on it. I would recommend doing a backup, as you can't really uninstall a lot of these .cabs.

Does anyone know of any updates posted anywhere for the Orange version of the Blueangel - the SPV M2000? Either on the Orange website or elsewhere?

Thanks!

[tommc4]

Here is the problem I have...there is a LOT of info here, for which I am VERY grateful; but there seems to be an assumption that everyone here knows all this stuff already. And I will be the first to admit, I DON'T!!!

I have the updated extended rom files, and I am being told to put them on the handheld, and run the cab files. Well, the updated rom files contain more than cab files! Where do I put htem, and which ones where?

Is there a "XDA FOR DUMMIES" guide somewhere? I would really like to update my unit, but I don't understand WHERE the files need to go...

Here is the file list from the SX66 Update:
AddContacts.exe
AutoRun.exe
BA_Album_WWE.CAB
Button.CAB
CallerID.CAB
Cin_inbox_ap.CAB
Cingularsplash.cab
Cingularcustomize.cab
Config.txt
Enable_GPRS.CAB
getmail.CAB
JAVA_WWE.CAB
MEdiaNet.CAB
MIDI561.CAB
MMS_WWE.CAB
RestartRadio.exe
StartServices.CAB
TPDisable.exe
TPEnable.exe
version.CAB
WLANPatch.CAB

Exactly where do I put them, how do I put them there, and how do I do the update?

Please forgive me for being a bit obtuse, but I was not born knowing all this stuff :D , and I cannot find the info anywhere! IS THERE A STEP BY STEP GUIDE FOR DOING THIS KIND OF THING?

Hell, I would make a $25 USD donatin to the forum if we could get some kind of "dummies guide"...

Many thanks for your time, and I hope, some assistance!

Oops, I forgot...HOW do I back up this "extended rom" so if there is a problem, I can return to the previous state? Can that be done...how?

Enquiring minds really want to know!!

I don't get how to install these either.

The custom 9th button assignment one is cool! (for the "E" button the bottom of the keyboard)

Most of these CAB files complain that it's not in ROM in \Windows etc (yes/no/cancel)

How do we allow the CAB files to write to protected ROM?

I've searched this forum and cant find a description on these extended roms either. It's not fun to install stuff in trial and error mode. (anyone care to give a quick breakdown or add a text file to the zip file?)

[HDuser]

For a better understanding of extenedrom read:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13072

NOTE this is about a XDAII and **YOU** are in the Blueangel forum !!!!!

Siemens has a WLAN Patch in its uploaded extened rom,
Anybody know what it is ??
(yes I know its a Wlan Patch have other operators used it)

[tommc4]

I have a SX66, which IS a Blue Angel! :D

Take care!

[s4czech]

i-mate PDA2K WWE is blueangel isnt it? I still dont quite understand how to load the rom upgrades that complain about read only rom over-write errors.

Maybe I am feeling sorry for all of the new people who have been lucky enough to stumble onto this site. This site started as a developer site as we took apart the early HTC products to see what made them tick. Here is a quick overview of the extended rom.

Your phone is made up of three rom files. (radio, OS, and extended) The OS and radio ROMs make up the guts of the phone, but the extended ROM is where your provider or reseller (Cingular, O2,T-mobile, Imate) places custom software that differentiates themselves.

This extended rom contains a number of CAB files that usually auto install after a hard reset. You can see them by searching for the Extended_rom unlock tool on this site. Once you unlock this area of your device, you will see a new Extended_storage area. Place the files you like from the downloaded roms. There are great features to pick and choose from such as modified phone applications, ring tones, PDF and PPS viewers ect.

You can click on any of the cabs or modify the config.txt to install the programs. Since many of the programs are similar and probably already installed, you may get an error about the file being locked in ROM.

I hope this helps.

[s4czech]

Perfect.......... thanks/sweet I'm on my way to learning more good stuff then. I assume that I can then do a hard reset, and the rom's I've picked will install. (is it possible to install them without a hard reset?)

so let me try to break this down.
(we really need a sticky for this maybe)

1) use Extended_rom unlock tool (find it by searching this site)

2) see new folder in explorer called Extended storage

3) add remove cab files there to your liking.

4) modify config.txt file to reflect the new install batch process

5) hard reset the phone and let the new cab files auto install

Is this close/right? When should I expect the error about the file being locked in ROM to happen? Does the Extended_rom unlock tool work on the iPAQ 6315 too? I'll search/tinker but I thought I"d ask while I'm on a roll here.

This is about upgrading Himalaya, but almost everything goes for blueAngel as well.

Correct! and DON'T FORGET TO LOCK your extended_ROM again before doing hard reset other wise all the CAB files will be gone.

Step using ExtendedROM unlocker: (Risk is all yours!)
1)Unhide then Soft reset
2)Unlock then add/remove files to your liking; configure the config.txt
3)Lock (this is important or else CAB files are deleted automaticaly after installation)
4)Then Hard Reset your device. OR you can manually execute each CAB file on Extended_ROM without hard reset.

Good Luck! (Did I forget anything else?)

Oh! Extended_ROM unlocker not working properly on HP6315/35 I tried it before, cause me a Hard reset everytime I try.

Sweet post thanks for the info

For our better understanding the upgrade tool (xda3nbftool.exe) uses three files as you mentioned (radio, OS, and extendedRom )

1) on an extracted ship file Which file names are which
ms_.nbf
nk.ndf
radio_.nbf

2) Can one extract the extended rom from a ndf file with out performing an upgrade and if so how

3) Can you confirm that the Radio is NOT language related and thus a raido_.ndf from WWE can be substituted for a GRE upgrade.

4) Would you edit your post with this informattion so that it can be used as a reference, please that is.

[Anonymous]

Do you know in which of this three files (ms, nk, or radio) is found the simlock? maybe in the extended rom (ms) because it depends on the provider? Thanks.

I have just uploaded the Orange SPV M2000 Ext Rom

[outz]

Is it just me or is our folder on the FTP site completely empty now?

[HDuser]

sure is,

is this due to:
"Any files still in the temporary directory and not attached to a message are automatically deleted after 24 hours. "
found under:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=23382#23382

Or a user?

Yeah. I found that out myself. Tried a couple times just to make sure. Seems the 6315 doesn't follow any of the standards here. I can't edit nbf files from a 6315 either. $%^&*%^&*%^&*
