All,
I own an MwG (formerly ubiquio) 501 and eventually started looking for software updates for it. The device is mostly ditto to the imate JAQ3, so I proceeded as follows:
1- get a WM6.1 ROM for JAQ3 (as linked in a thread of this very forum)
2- try to flash it (fail)
3- disassemble the ROM with tools from chinese website (osnbtool.exe)
4- port XIP merging with the ROM of my own device (thanks to the wonderful manual full xip porting thread!)
5- insert my original IMGFS of SYS and OEM
6- success!
the current situation is (settings -> about)
CE OS 5.2.20269 (Build 17936.0.3.0)
The performance boost obtained by upgrading the XIP is significant (keyboard is usable and video playback is ~ 15fps @ full screen), but I would like to perform more optimizations (e.g. switch to .NET CF 3.5) but as soon as I start to work with the dumped SYS and OEM I have troubles, it seems that every kitchen is expecting to work on the XIP (or on .nb and .nb.payload) but such files are not compatible with the one I get from osbntool.exe (but the dump folder is).
Do someone have advice on how to proceed? I would like to either
1-find a kitchen that works with my device
2-go for manual cooking
For 2 I achieved to split the dumped folder to packages and removed some of them, then - as far as I understood - I would need Greloc (got it) and bepe's buildos.exe (nowere to be found )
Is someone willing to help me? Thanks a lot.
Rest assured I am going to share the obtained ROM (I am already willing to share the current one, of course, just drop me a line!)
Best,
DAniele
