Pagepool changer without reflashing

[ReX83]

Can I change the pagepool (I want to set it to 8MB) without reflashing the ROM?

I searched in the forum but all the tools I found (PP chager, ...) don't work with Touch HD.

The only way I found is patching the ROM with a multiplatform tool found in Blackstone Kitchen.

Thank you.

No, you have to reflash the rom, the multiplatform page pool changer works just fine, but consider that you have also to patch your payload file in order to make the page pool change working correctly.

Ok, thanks.

And is there a method to read the pagepool size of my installed ROM?

Right now total amount of program memory is 195.58MB, from this value can I obtain pagepool size?

Try this if this work ?

This (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323269) PagePool changer works just fine (and can also read the current pagepool of your rom).

But remember that you have to patch your xip in order to make pagepool changes working.

What is XIP ?

I tried it, but not work on my Dutty rom 1.7 :(

It is for diamond but I tried on my HD rom and it works fine.

In short you should:-
1. Extract your rom (*.nbh).
2. In a hex editor search for the key 03 25 A0 E3 03 15 A0 E3 00 20 83 E5 (there should be 2 such strings)
3. Replace 20 83 E5 with 00 A0 E1 (for both strings, this disables this key and lets pagepool changer work)
4. Patch the rom with the pagepool changer suggested by johnpatcher.
5. Flash your rom back to you HD using CustomRUU (and USPL if necessary).
6. Enjoy!


For information, the default pagepool size for official rom should be 12mb, leaving approx. 194~195mb for program memory. I patched my rom to 16mb pagepool and my current program memory is 190.70mb.

Thank you. I noticed this thread and i was asking if it could work on the HD. This is a good news. Did you try it on various roms?

In the official 1.14.412.5 ROM HD this method does not work, tested at 100%!

But it isn't without reflashing !

I did it only on the official CHT 1.19.832.0 ROM but I thought it would be same for other version of official ROMs.

I have no idea why is it not working on the 1.14.412.5 ROM ....it seems like we need some Pros to help solving this problem...


And, I don't think we can change the pagepool without reflashing so far (as it is something written into the rom).

[dyter]

With reflashing, it is very too simply to use PagePool_Changer_v2.21 ...

Nobody knows how to change the PP in ROM 1.14.412.5?

PP Changer 2.21 and changes in the post eugene85 not working
