Backing up carrierdb.pxp...

[david81]

Seeing as my hopes were dashed yet again today for the release of the AT&T WM6 ROM I've decided to bite the bullet and load the ROW ROM and be done with it. I just want to make sure that I can back up the carrierdb.pxp file so that I can restore the auto settings once I have WM6 up and running. I understand that this file is in the EXT ROM but the EXT ROM unlocker floating around seems to be for WM6 only.

If I am mistaken in my information please feel free to correct me on this. Just want to make sure I will have all features enabled when I am finished.

Thanks in advance,

David

Am I really barking up the wrong tree here?

Could some perhaps just send me/post the carrierdb.pxp from the leaked AT&T ROM?

Thanks for the link, but I already have the leaked ROM. If I could extract the files from the 04_ExtROM.nb file I'd be set. From all the my reading this does not appear to be possible without loading the ROM. Would prefer to just load the ROW ROM instead of going with the leaked AT&T ROM first. All I'd really like is a carrierdb.pxp file for AT&T. I see that someone did post the extracted ExtROM but it contains and extracted carrierdb.pxp, not the packed file. Any way to repack this or just a hint on what to do with the extracted files?

Edit: I see that the pxp files can be extracted as zips.....any chance they can be just rezipped and have the extension changed? Any particular settings that need to be used if it is possible?

Further to this, can we add another carrier in the pxp file? And can we modify the pze file?

The reason why I ask, is Fido merged with Rogers and my Treo 750 shows roaming as there is no GSM network for Fido in the pxp file. (i.e. 302-37)

Okay, I have been running the ATT WM6 leaked version for some time and recently unlocked my device and upgraded to the 2.23 ROW from Palm. Here is what I would recommend you do:

1. Upgrade your device to the ATTWM6 version first.
2. Follow instructions on this site (use the search in this forum) to "mount" the extended ROM. From there you can copy/backup the carrierdb file to your local PC.

3. Unlock your device.

4. Install 2.23 ROW.

5. Re-mount the extended rom and backup the new carrierdb file from the new rom

6. Copy back the carrierdb file from your hard drive obtained from the leaked ATT WM6 install.

Simple - if you know how to do all these things. You WILL have to spend time reading/researching on this forum to learn how to do each step, but this is the process from a macro level.

You betcha. They *are* zip compressed files with a different filename extension. Use the winrar defaults to create.

Problem is the leaked ATT and T rom doesn't have the Fido GSM network in there!
