Magician II / HTC Charmer Extended Rom Files.....

[brykins]

Anyone able to shed any light on what these all do? I am about to embark on the hard-reset-selective-CAB-install and wonder what ones are essential and what ones I can miss out:

CAB-Customization-Connection-TMUK-Charmer_Nov15.sa.CAB

CAB-Customization-WapPush-TMO-Wizard-Sep02-1.CAB
CAB-DATEamil-Charmer-TMOUK-04aug05-DataBase.CAB
CAB-PictureVideo_reg_signed.CAB
CAB-Shorcut-MMS1-JAVA6XX-CV-VOICE-EmailWiz-TMO-03Nov05.CAB
cusTSK.exe
OemExtDll.dll
Signed_BeepMode_Longtones.sa.CAB
Signed_DiscoButton8.sa.CAB
Signed_EnableATAbortSTKCall.sa.CAB
Signed_ExtendedROM_Version.CAB
Signed_GPRS_PAP.CAB
Signed_pIE_ZoomSetting_Medium.sa.CAB
Signed_RingVol_InitVol_3.sa.CAB
Signed_ShowSIM_disable.sa.CAB
Signed_TMO_EU_UA_051003.sa.CAB
Signed_TMUK_Cust_Wiz03000100.sa.CAB

TMO_UK_Browser_Signed.CAB
TMO_UK_pIEDefaultPage_Signed.CAB
TMO_UK_UXC_Signed.CAB
UNI_BrowserPerformance.sa.CAB

Many thanks,

Would be nice to see the filesizes along with the names, but anyways, I'll just give it a try. Don't have the same device, so the light I am shedding might be kind of dim... If you have the possibility of transferring the files to your PC, you can just use some CAB manager to open/extract the files and look through the files to get more info.


CAB-Customization-Connection-TMUK-Charmer_Nov15.sa.CAB
...Connection Settings? (GPRS, WAP, etc.)

CAB-Customization-TMUK-Charmer-01-03-08NOV05XML.CAB
...XML Settings?

CAB-Customization-WapPush-TMO-Wizard-Sep02-1.CAB
...WAP Push settings and tuff like that?

CAB-DATEamil-Charmer-TMOUK-04aug05-DataBase.CAB
...DATEamil or is it DATEmail? It seems to be some kind of database.

CAB-PictureVideo_reg_signed.CAB
...Camera and Video stuff, maybe related to MMS

CAB-Shorcut-MMS1-JAVA6XX-CV-VOICE-EmailWiz-TMO-03Nov05.CAB
...MMS Composer, Java Midlet Manager, CV=Clearvue PPT and PDF viewer, some kind of Voice Dialing or Voice Command application..

cusTSK.exe
...TSK is the extension for Today screen backgrounds and color settings, maybe it's the TMobile customised appearance setup

OemExtDll.dll
Signed_BeepMode_Longtones.sa.CAB
Signed_DiscoButton8.sa.CAB
???

Signed_EnableATAbortSTKCall.sa.CAB
...STK is Sim Toolkit, so this is some setting to enable some STK or SIM-related function, I'd keep this for sure

Signed_ExtendedROM_Version.CAB
...If this is a smal file, it probably is a setting to set the ExtRom Version number shown after Softreset in the splash screen

Signed_GPRS_PAP.CAB
...More GPRS settings?

Signed_pIE_ZoomSetting_Medium.sa.CAB
...pocket Internet Explorer settings

Signed_RingVol_InitVol_3.sa.CAB
Signed_ShowSIM_disable.sa.CAB
Signed_TMO_EU_UA_051003.sa.CAB
Signed_TMUK_Cust_Wiz03000100.sa.CAB
???

Signed_Wiz_TMO_STK.sa.CAB
...Sim Toolkit

TMO_UK_Browser_Signed.cab
???

SmartDialing_enable_0915_signed.CAB
...Smartdialing Application (Quick Dialer in the Phone Application)

TMO_UK_Browser_Signed.CAB
???

TMO_UK_pIEDefaultPage_Signed.CAB
...pocket Internet Explorer Default Page...

TMO_UK_UXC_Signed.CAB
UNI_BrowserPerformance.sa.CAB
???

is there someone can tell me how to unlock T-Mobile MDA Compact II's Extended ROM?

As far as I know, you can't unlock it yet. You can use Total Commander to view the files and, if you want to, delete them and then store your own files/cabs/etc in there, but you can't yet unlock it to use as a "Storage Card" like the old Big Storage hack.

I'm sure it'll come soon.....

How do you actually 'see' the files with total commander - I've got total commander but can only see a storage card

[monkeynotes]

Just for information sake, the files can be found on the XDA ftp here:

xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Charmer/Extended%20ROM%20MDA%20Compact%20II%20UK

I don't really have much light to shed on what each CAB does, but I do know that the Charmer works on TMob without any of these -- you do have to manually set up GPRS and things like that if you do choose to run without them.

Hi,
could someone post dumped WWE ROM of MDA Compact II (Charmer).

With Lokwiz tool is very easy to dump ROM or unlock the device!

Thanks.

brykins: can u email me too at sharjeel.butt@gmail.com

Thanks in advanced

[Nutdhanai]

Hi brykins please can u email me the smartdialing file..

- SmartDialing_enable_0915_signed.CAB -

Thanks so much.. Im going to test it on the O2 Atom..

also if you happen to have the PhonePad file too I would love to test it on the Atom.. (no the atom does not come with phone pad or the smart dailing !! how cr*p)

Thanks again.

[psneddon]

I dont think the smartdialing cab actually contains the smartdialing software, just some reg entries to enable the already exisisting software (in rom). So if the application isnt already in your O2 Atom then it wont do anything.

I found this one very Useful:

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_DiscoButton8.sa.CAB - Enables Disconnection of GPRS Connections via Click on the GPRS Icon in the Taskbar

Can you tell me, what it gives if installed on Magician? If I do it to My Qtek s100 what will it change?

[detector]

Can you upload your rom file *.nb1 anywhere?

from that cab file, extract

000tnmms.005
000tnsms.006
HTCCAL~1.013
SOFTKE~1.007

and rename them

tnmms.exe
tnsms.exe
HTCCalendar.exe
SoftKeyApplet.cpl

then copy them to \Windows\ you need the exe files so the new sms, new mms and calender functions work if you set them to a softkey.

Well it will install a bunch of t-mobile branded icons and ringtones and the t-mobile today plugin. Pretty useless really, only the softkey cpl is worth having but wont work on anything but wm5.

Hi,

I already asked in a other post, but I didn't get any replys.
I have a german mda compact II with a english rom (the version from
t-mobile uk).

I would like to get the german language back (and the keyboard).
Could someone tell me where I can download a german rom?

Regards,

km

[hanmin]

km: try asking the person "Ulymanchild" here. Maybe he made a backup ROM?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=38406

BTW, anyone to recommend what (the stuff in EXT_ROM) to install and what not to? :D
