Hi,
I'ld like to change an systemfile from Windows CE (tmail.exe).
The system protect the file against erasing by me.
Does anyone know a programm or a command to delete the file?
It whould be great
Greetings from hannovre,
andreas
As these files are stored in ReadOnlyMemory, there's no real way of deleting these.
Unless you cook a rom without that file.
But i couldn't;t recommend removing tmai.exe from Rom.

I need to know how to install some files (images from the indialer) that are system protected.
Or any other way I can do it...
Thanks!
we are trying to unlock and or dump the rom on the treo 750v. this is a newly released treo made by htc. the treo has an awesome feature called theeaded sms which does chat style sms.
we have tried the grab it program that was on this site with no luck.
does anyone no of a way to get this done? does any have any ideas of why the grab it program doesn't work. does anyone want to help?
thanks, cody
So far we've manage to get someone to try the grab_it tool from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=238945
But they are getting a write error. I assumed since the Treo 750v uses a mini-sd card the appropriate version of grab_it would be grab_it_128_minisd_468.exe. I'm trying to get someone to try the grab_it_128_150.exe version to see if that works, since that is the version BeyondTheTech used to extract the Treo 700w rom. The 700w uses a regular sd card though.
I asked the guy that tried grab_it_128_minisd_468.exe what the storage card folder name was set to and they verified that the registry was set to "Storage Card". So it's unclear to me why they are getting a write error. Maybe the minisd version expects something else? The card used was a 2GB minisd so it should have plenty of room for the rom.
Anyone familiar with grab_it know what is different about the minisd version? I read through the thread but it wasn't clear to me what the difference is.
Ok, I'm the one who's run the grabit tool on a 750v
It runs Ok and creates a 128Mb dump.bin file but the file appears to be mostly empty. If I zip the file up it only takes 147Kb which seems to confirm this. Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug in the tool
i have hope 750v user and appreciate your efforts

Can you upload the bin file please. I think someone here may be able to figure this out by looking at the contents of it.
If anyone has a source for a unlocked 750v let me know i really need one.
File and registry dump.

Hi, please can you do me favor? I have idea which can help us get SMS threading application and other palm features as well. If isn't possible dump ROM in this moment can you download Total Commander (freeware) http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm and do following.
1, Create foder on memory card and go to the Total commander.
2, go to the root of your device and copy to SD everything what is possible specially from Windows folder and Program Files (rest will be fine as well)
- this will take some time and in case of problem with file just skip that file.
3, When this will be done please go into the "\\" in the root and then to "registry"
4, now select registry tree one by one and copy again to card.
This will give us most probably files which will be required for hack and registry keys which will be required as well i think.
Thank you very much for your help.
Here's a zipped up copy of the dump.bin file, hope it helps
I extracted that dump.bin and it looks like a 256 byte block of data that is repeated at each 16 meg boundary 8 times.
Does this ring any bells to the experts?
The only readable text is "CHEETAH IPL EVT".
wow! that's great!
I don't have a Cheetah, but there's some info on the hermes forum that might be of interest to you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1019171&postcount=22
750v_User please try this program to extract the rom image.
unzip and copy TestDump.exe to your device and run it. In the "Path to file" enter the path for the dump file (i.e. \Storage Card\dump.bin). In the "Mbytes to dump" enter 128. Then press the "Dump" button. It should make a dump of the ROM file.
Zip it up and upload here. Thanks!

Thanks. That post appears to be for updating the rom. I wonder if there is some key combo like this to extract the rom.

Based on the Hermes experience, there's no knonw way yet to extract it in a form that after is flashable on another device, but you can follow these instructions to dump some parts:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoDumpRom
You can also use pmemdump to copy some of the ROM contents to a file. Once you've dumped SPL you can search for strings on it and you'll see the bootloader commands.
HTC has removed all the "d2s, s2d, r2sd..." and like commands in the hermes bootloader, probably you are lucky and you have some command to dump the rom to sd in your bootloader.
Hope that helps
The ROM dump // extract discussion is over my head...one question though has anyone sorted out how to unlock this device?

im just a noob but cant we use the combination of StyleTap and AdvBackup to create a complete rom backup of the treo 750v and then grab what we want from that?
will that work????
just tryin to help........
what if someone get the .nbh file..can that be extracted??
750v ROM dump uploaded
I put a rom dump from the TestDump.exe tool on ftp.xda-developers.com. userid: xdaupload pw: xda
file: treo750v_dump_rom.zip
I used the dumprom tool to extract files, but it looks like it's only extracting the first rom section it finds and stops. Can one of the experts take a look at the dump and see if you can extract the other sections please.
Thanks.
What are you getting from the first rom section?
Sounds weird... was the dump complete?
It looked like a bunch of system files. The kernel, img.dll, filesystem drivers and the like.
There is 59MB of data in the dump so there has to be more stuff in there.
I have created a great working ROM but there are some apps that I still want to put onto the 8125 I own. My problem is that these apps are OEM packages....so my question is how can I place them on the Wizard without re-cooking a ROM?
Is there a way that I can place the OEM files into a CAB and install from the CAB or some type of install program that I can point to the OEM files and it will install the app to the Wizard?
PLEASE HELP A NEWBIE!!!!!
Shameless bump
Come on fellow members, with 100 views to my topic there are 0 responses?
You mean to tell me with all the great minds and Kitchen makers on this forum not one of you have this answer for me?
PLEASE HELP THIS NEWBIE!!!!
just analyse initflashfiles.txt, and rgu.
you will get paths for files from initflashfiles.
if there's no initflashfiles file in oempack, it means, that all files needs to be placed in /windows(usually).
rgu is just .reg so rename it to .reg.
get wince cab manager and just make cab(add files, import reg).
good luck.
Hi!
After a lot of flashing and reading I became sure, that there are a lot of great ROMS out there, but not the excatly one I would like to get
Well so I tried the JustMe kitchen and everything works well. Now I came to the point to add own applications to the ROM, so I created some OEm folders with Packagescreator, just like explained in the wiki.
now comes my problem: Most of them don't work...
When I want to use them in BuilOS form JustMe kitchen, I get different errors:
e.g. "the setup.dll is already at temp\dump\ and the process stops.
Now I want to learn what can I do if I have some files needed for more than one application? Would be great to hear from someone who would like to help a new "cook" (well, it's just editing a rom) with this problem!
Thanks
ruebyi
You can just delete the extra setup.dll files in the OEM folder.
Hi! Thanks ivan!
So all files I have too often I can delete from one of the OEM packages? that helps a lot!
But now I get the next error:
The target File \temp\dump\gx.dll is not a file but a folder (translated from the German error warning)
What means that? It is a *.dll file in the OEM folder of MortPlayer AND there is a folder called gx.dll in the temp\dump\
Any chance to "fix" this?
I uploaded the OEM folder I want to integrate in JustMe

It is one of the duplicate error you have earlier. One of them is in package format and the other is in binary format. You can delete the one in your OEM.
To comment on your original post. All the packages converted by oem package converter works. Only you need to look at the files that will be processed after the installation. For example, when installed, some files will be copied into /Program Files/my_program folder. In order to do this in OEM package, try to find out what files need to be moved manually and copy them using initflashfiles.txt in your OEM package. Hope this help and enjoy cooking!

A great Thanks!
Now I was able to build the *.nbh, but after flashing the Mortplayer can't find it's MotImg.dll. this *dll is not located in the OEM folder and is not listed in the initflashfiles.txt I'm really confused at the moment!
I didn't find a tutorial on this kind of problem! Was I to stupid to search, or is there none? Would really like to see one, so I don't have to bother you for every little probelm

Were you able to install and run successfully with the original .exe in the same rom? What I usually do in converting to OEM packages is that check the rgu generated by OEM converter, then look at all the references, either change all the pathes to /windows/ or fix them in the initflashfiles.txt. Maybe if you can attach the original, I can take a look. I am kind of busy to search around for the apps you a trying to convert.

Thanks that you care about that issue at all!
I managed to do it with TCPMP 8.1, HomeScreen++, Nodata, Minimal dialer
What I "need"/want to add:
MortPlayer
MortScript
After that I would like to integrate my own skins for some of these apps, but this, I hope, will be easier...
I was not able to upload the files, don't know why, so I give you here the Links:
MortScript
MortPlayer
THANKS a lot!

Hi,
is there a way to delete files from the ROM meanwhile? I know, this sounds ridiculous, however as I learned, it is all flash. So technically the (ROM) files are on the flash and somehow protected. However protected through software and not implicitly by hardware. I don't want to reflash it with a clean ROM, as configuration and installation took me a day.
It would be nice because my ROM came with some nice programs, which are unfortunately now outdate and which I want to update. However my storage is even more scarce than my time.
Best regards
Andreas

unfortunately no.....
with total commander you can rename the file and delete it but after a restart the file is back again...but this is a useful thing if you have override some rom files...after restart the original rom file is back

can I correct you Alex?
The inly way remove, replase or add files from its cook rom.
The file system in polaris as I think have 4 partitions
SPL, radio, ROM, and "user data partition", first 3 of them are hardware hided and we cant get to them in file explorer etc. only with flashing. The "user data partition" its that visible partition to us. ROM partition are readonly and merged with "user data", like shadow of winows folder in "user data".

yes...you are right..
what i mean is eg the battery in taskbar it comes in a dll file...i can copy it with total commander over the hidden sys file...if i want the old file back...i can not delete it normal...i rename the *.dll to *.old and delete the *.old...after restart phone i have the old file from the rom back....
