The goal: Extract the nice Palm written sms threading app to make available to everyone as a cab install.

The need: A 750 owner with a kind soul and a little time on their hands to perform a rom dump.

The steps: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoDumpRom

Notes: the wiki has instructions on how to use itsutils pdocread to dump a rom. We are assuming this will work on the 750. The instruction steps use the path c:\itsutils as the directory where itsutils is extracted. The pdocread program is actually in c:\itsutils\build\ dir so you will need to run it from there, not from c:\itsutils like the instructions state.

itsutils copies a dll to your device and it can't run unless you change a registry entry. Use your favorite registry editor and change the following entry. You can change it back once you are done extracting the rom.

HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies
valuename '00001001' was set to dword:2, change it to dword:1

If the instructions on the wiki seem daunting just try to get through step 5 where you run pdocread -l to list the rom partitions. Copy and paste the output to a post here and I'll help you get through the remaining steps.

Thank you in advance. The xda community greatly appreciates your effort on this! :)

Yeah, someone moved the thread back under the treo section. I thought it was more appropriate over in the hacking area since more than treo users would benefit from it, but whatever.
