Update Util?

Hi!
I wana flash WM6 on my unbranded Artemis.
Already installed USPL and downloaded a ROM, wich is a rar file "ARTE_WWE_WM6.rar" containing "OS.nb"
So what to do with that OS.nb?
I think I will need a Utility to flash that ROM to my device right?
Where to get it?
Thanks!
I propably need a ROM which includes a Utility?
I do not even know which WM6 ROMs there are.
Which one would you recommend?

I suggest you switch from the upgrading section to the Mobile 6 section of this site. There is a lot more info about WM6.
Basically (I don't intend to be complete) there are three flavours: Bepe's ROM, the PDAVIET Black and Blue ROM and, since a few days, a ROM that comes close (or is?) the HTC ROM. They are all different so you have to decide which one you like the most. They all have popular threads with lots of enthousiast users, more or less. Happy reading!
Okay I now got the PV Black&Blue v3 - which is great for me!! (though I dont know the others)
but the HTC Home Today Plugin takes so much space
If there were just the clock ...

Create customized ROM image

Hi!
Is it possible, to create a customized ROM image for artemis (and charmer)? what do i need, to achieve it?
Best,
Chris
Hi, you need to read this (will take time)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=348536
Everybody says it takes time but that's nonsense if you are not talking about HUGE modifications like replacing integrated programs that are already integrated into the registry or whatever.
I'm currently working on video tutorials which will be done between 15.-28 February. I can customize my ROM in less than 5 minutes as soon as I have all my packages. If I change the packages I need maybe half an hour or so. This weekend I will publish my first small video.
I currently use this in combination with my packages: http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthread.php?t=121552
If you know how do dump a ROM with HyperCore Kitchen then you can replace those files I guess and cook your own ROM. You might as well wait until February and not get confused by all the strange and overloaded tutorials out there. I'm not saying that they are bad but they often include EVERYTHING and makes the general ROM newbie confused.
Basically you need to download a ROM, dump it, add some packages and flash it again - that's how I do it.
thanks for your help!
i installed the latest rom from the ftp-directory und now my storage memory is only 32mb, before this it was 48 mb... why is this? can i influence it?
best, chris
I've now created a new os.nb and it works fine. thanks...
how can i manipulate the the splashscreen? i haven't found any infos in the cookbooks except the tools to change it. but i want to change them in nbh-file.

614c/612c I'd Like to Learn How to create or at least modify a Cooked a Rom

Hello,
yes, basically I am hoping someone could provide some information on how to create or at least modify a cooked a rom Like the Russian rom or the one from pdaclan specifically for the HP iPAQ 614c/612c.
I would like to make modifications to the existing 614c roms and re-build a flashable flash.dio. I've already bricked my iPAQ once and would like to avoid going thru that pain again.
I want to be able to do the following:-
1-
Example, the Chinese rom has a nice feature showing the battery status in percentage, I think thats the Windows\battdrvr.dll that is responsible for this, I'd like to learn how I can extract that file and integrate it with another Rom.
2-
The Chinese rom has some Chinese left overs so If I knew how I can rebuild the flash.dio, I could overwrite those file from the English one and fix the Chinese rom myself.
3- I would like to dictate what software I want to install as part of the rom.
I don't know where to begin, most of the information related to this PDA are either in Chinees or Russian and I am still a newbie.
I am sure if someone posts some tips, I can get started.
please share your knowledge, I am sure a lot of use would find this info useful.
Regards

First of all i want to thank you very much for this rom, however
i downloaded this, and flashed it on my device, flashing went perfectly but as soon as the windows mobile screen pops up along with that ''trendy'' beep sound, it gets stuck on it.
i left it a couple a minutes, i stays on the screen showing the ''please wait''
spinning logo of WM 6.
i also tried to reflash it, also re downloaded it in case something went wrong downloading.
anyone else facing this problem to?
and 1 other question,
i made a dump of a hp 614 i have, wich is Dutch, now i got the following files :
- diskimage_Ver.nbo
- part2.nb0.payload
- part2.nb0.payload.part1
- part02.raw
when i whas searching forums i found out that i have to change the
diskimage_Ver.nb0 to FLASH.DIO
i tried this and the device got stuck at the ''clean boot'' part.
obviousley i don't know alot and i'm sorry to ask anyone's help.
but what do i have to do with those other files? how do i make those files to a complete working ROM?
any help appreciated,
thanks to all people that helped me comming this far
I see the problem... I didn't have time to test it thoroughly.
Here is the link for a new (and hopefully a good working) ROM image.
http://rapidshare.com/files/278647058/original_dutch_1.00.rar
The problem is that I myself am still trying to learn to cook, so don't expect any miracles... That's why the first one didn't function properly. But normally this ROM schould function, as it is an copy of a Dutch Ipaq 614c.
If anyone is interested in cooking an up-to-date Dutch ROM, all the necessary tools and dumps are (normally) available. I already posted the OEM and SYS folders separately or they can be extracted from this ROM image.
At the moment I am not able to create a good working up-to-date Dutch ROM image, hopefully somebody is able to create one with the help of this ROM image.

[Q] Flashing ROM on Acer neotouch S200

Hello, I bought on the german e-bay a mobile device called Acer neotouch s200, which is in german language without other languages like english, etc... I have read that if I want to get english language, I need to (re)flash it. Currently, the device has S200_3.003c.00_DE ROM. I do not know exactly if it is better to get the default ROM or the newest. To flash it, I downloaded Acer S200 beta 3 flashing tool, ran Acer_EUU.exe, but it stopped before updating the device (this was made on my desktop computer with Windows XP). I also tried it on my laptop with Windows 7, but the Acer_EUU.exe "stopped working". Can you please give me any advice how to solve my problem? I read it is better to get the default ROM, because it reduce the battery status, but it has got bugs.
Thank you

Dear Stress Analyst,
Thanks for your helpful advice. The problem has been solved. For the benefit of those who run into the same problem, here is what I did (I am summarizing this from memory, so I may miss a few things):
- I downloaded a file called "Arto's Sense rom 2.1 (3.003c, 23554, 2012).rar". The size is 162,841,490 bytes.
- I unzipped the contents of the .rar file into a folder.
- I put the S200 in bootloader mode by pressing and holding the camera and power buttons, while pressing the reset button with the stylus. The LED started flashing red. I connected the S200 to my Windows XP SP3 desktop, and it caused the Acer HS-USB driver to be installed.
- In the aforementioned folder, I ran “Acer_Euu.exe”, and was led through a series of windows. Just click, click, click ...
- When flashed, the Arto ROM was nice and interesting on my pda, but a bit too funky for a middle-age man like me. So I decided to install the Acer update instead.
- I unzipped file “OS_Acer_3.003c.01.EN.02_WM65_A.zip” and ran file EUU_Acer_S200_3.003c.01_EN_02_03.03.08_3.003c.00_2 0100202.exe
- After flashing the updated Acer ROM, I checked the version number, which was CE OS 5.2.21883 (Build 21883.5.0.783). The earlier version was Build 21857.5.0.66. The new version seems to run faster than the old version. Here is what I think were the problems with the older version 21857.5.0.66:
- The old firmware does not do a Clean Boot very well.
- The old firmwave has problems connecting to the Acer update.
Arto's ROM overcame these two problems, which meant that I can use it as a temporary bridge to the updated Acer ROM.
Unquote..
You can try the newest Arto's rom on the 2nd thread below yours.

How can I change ROM Acer neoTouch S200
I have OS_ACER_3.003b.00.EN_WM65_S200
I want to change to
EUU_Acer_S200_3.003c.00_EN_01_03.03.08_3.003c.00_2 0100203
problem
Code
ERROR CODE = SKU_incompatible
Search.... All answers in this forum............
.....Tried to update from 3.003b to EUU_Acer_S200_3.003c.00_EN_01_03.03.08_3.003c.00_20100203
and the utility tells me SKU_incompatible .
I have in registry EN language by default.
Does anyone knows what is wrong with it?
Yes, for this "3.003c.00_EN_01" rom you should have language set ton EN_01 in your registry. ;-]
.....................
Just use your favorite registry editor and go to HKLM\ControlPanel\ACER\SystemInfo\Software
You'll find two keys: ExtROMVer and Language
For each key, Change your language occurence to "EN_01".
guys, do you really think that I am an idiot? I know all these steps, but I CANNOT connect the device to my laptops & PC
btw, can u copy here a DL link for "Arto's Sense rom 2.1 (3.003c, 23554, 2012).rar" ? Cannot find it
cmooon fellaz
Can you get into bootloader mode?
Version 2.1 is just the latest version during the creation of the thread. You can download other versions here.
http://www.almostunreal.org/arto/
Try follow up on this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642654&page=258
Get machine into bootloader mode, Red led flashing. Key sequence:
Camera + Volume down + Reset
Previous key sequence won't work for me. (Camera+Power+Reset)
Finally I flashed my device using the Arto's Sense rom, but now the device is really slow and some options are restricted. I also cannot change the display settings, so it is sometimes bright and sometimes dark. G-Sensor does not work, phone lags a lil bit. Is there any way how to get the DEFAULT stock firmware (with english language of course)? I copied the downloaded firmware from ftp: ftp.acer-euro (the oldest) to directory called Acer beta flashing tool where is also included Acer_EUU.exe and other stuff for flashing... and flashed it. After flash the welcome screen says I have the old firmware, but there is the same theme like before and the OS version did not change. I thought the newest, cooked firmware is very good & fast and works without any problems but this really sux. imho the default will be definitely the best :>
Thanks for any advice
Download this official rom here.

Check the Arto rom version and change your register to EN_02 before flashing the new rom.

bry4nnn,
First of all, you have followed bad/wrong advice from an idiot who quoted an old post about arto's sense "2.1" when in reality, sense roms and s200 rom developement in general has far surpassed 2.1 and acer stock firmware!!!!
according to your first post you already had the latest "stock" firmware w/3.003c drivers so all you needed to do was flash one of the many "clean roms" labled "WWE".
Second, the S200 will always have bugs because of WM6.5 that's why cooked roms are made to overcome most of the limitations of our device!! Inchu though
wrong about almost everything was right about one thing,"READ BEFORE YOU START A NEW THREAD" because right beneath your post is an entire universe of
info,roms,flashing info and all things s200!!! including one labled "Arto's sense 4.0" if you bothered to look you would find a change log with a chronological listing of Arto's sense from 1.0,1.1,etc...
My advice for you would be to delete all of your downloaded EUU's and beta tools and start over by simply downloading one of brainmaster's roms either
"WWE Clean" or "WWE Manila Clean 1.1" or any of the many he has cooked
for our device.

ehm, your file is called "Name: OS_Acer_3.003c.01.EN.02_WM65_A.zip " which refers to a newer firmware, right? Anyway, i have to repeat myself: "I need default stock firmware, the oldest with EN" (and in my opinion it is probably called 2.003, yy?)

For what exactly do I need this: WWE Clean and WWE MC 1.1 ? How I said, I rly do not need any CUSTOM firmware. just want to get the default firmware, not these bugged versions.

Then you are clearly in the wrong place because this is the "Neotouch S200 Rom Development" section not Acer.com (http://www.acer.com/worldwide/support/download.htm which is where all things "official" or"stock" can be found!!!
And you are so wrong about the custom roms here they are light years ahead of the bug filled original acer rom!!!
But since you have only tried an older version custom rom still in development (as the change log indicates) and decided that all custom roms are buggy w/out having tried them then maybe you deserve the original acer firmware!
custom roms are made to correct problems in the stock firmware.

u r so amusing, are not u? "custom roms are made to correct problems in the stock firmware" - yeah yeah and the bugs there are like side effects at painkillers, yeah?
And why the **** are u spamming here in this thread (now)? I wanted to get stock FW, not an advice about slow_buggy_custom_rom, cyao
I belong here, been here almost from the start of this forum and know a hell of a
lot more than you!!!! but dumb assholes like you who come to a windows mobile hacking forum to ask for advice about stock firmware don't!!
Not to mention, insulting the work of the very people you ask to help you're
sorry - wannabe - know-it-all ass will surely never get answers!!!!!
Any ideas how to get the default stock fw like it is here - http://tinyurl.com/5s5ocmh ?
I had it before with unsuitable languange (fw version was 3.003c). Now I want the same, just with english. If I use the fimwares from acer webpage then I have the same theme (& and the display is still dark, cannot change some options, etc..)
PROBLEM SOLVED
Arto made for me this stock firmware (3.003c.01.EN.02)
