Reverting back to T-Mobile UK WM 5

[trapper]

I'm in the process of reverting my Hermes back to a T-Mobile UK ROM for Windows Mobile 5 using My Vanx guide but I can't exrtract the entended ROM from the ROM I have. Can anyone help me out?

[chrisjasper]

I have a rar file of the contents of the t-mobile uk ext rom, if thats what you need?

[trapper]

Yes please, that would be great. Is that what I need to revert back to WM 5?

Well, ideally I think you can just overwrite the ext rom contents then do the rom downgrade, then hard reset and the ext rom contents will install.

I havent done it myself though.

Here's the zip, rar's not allowed apparently.

Thanks, I'll give it a try this afternoon and let you know how it goes.

That would be appreciated, just in case I have a warranty issue......

I'm trying to get it back due to a warranty issue (white appears as yellow).

Anyway, the extended ROM downloaded okay, however it didn't contain the Herm_extendedRom.nb as stated here (http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=41&Itemid=27). I've got the PrimarySplash.nb, SecondarySplash.ng and Windows.nb files from decompiling the NBH file, and now I'm stuck in a dead end. :mad:

Oh. you're doing that, I dont have the nbh file im afraid, what I was doing was leaving the extended rom alone when flashing rom updates so the original contents will work.
The main reason I didnt bother deleting the original ext rom is that the files dont actually run under wm6 and I dont really have any use for the ext rom.

Theoretically if you replace the contents of the ext rom with the contents of the zip then do the downgrade stuff wthout selecting the ext rom nbh file it might work. since I seem to recall that the ext rom contents were run by a prompter file in the windows directory from the original t-mobile OS rom after you first hard reset.

Might be worth seeing if anyone can clarify this though, as I said, I havent downgraded as yet.

Sounds like it might work, or just trying to flash without the Extended ROM, and then running the cab files seperately afterwards, but I'd like to seek clarification before doing so.
