Changing the O2 XDA 2 Operating System. - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Where can i download the 4.00.11 rom version since Jeff kitchen is down?
it's also not available on yorch kitchen!
cheers,
Yann
yah, jeff's kitchen is down and i think it is the only one with the 4.00.11 update. yorch's has 4.00.05 only
can anyone post a link to download this rom version?
best regars,
Yann
Check some of the old posts by doing a search. One of the FTP's might still be open.
hi guys
i found a rom.exe file that i had cooked in jeffz kitchen a long time ago; it also contains some extra apps from the kitchen.
just give me an ftp location to upload to and it's yours. unfortunately, my ftp server is not for public use.
cheers

Hi all,
I need a clean ROM 4.00.11 ENG (without any apps) ... My problem is with Imov (doesn't work) and EZWAP (it doesn't have 2.5 with MMS option).
If any one have this "Vanilla" version plz send me a PM
Thanks in advance
You can still get a Cooked .11 ROM. Since those programs are in ROM and not RAM, they don't take up any space. Install the new versions of the progs you want and you will be fine.

Right!! ... but some of these files installed in the windows directory are actually ROM files now, they can't be over written by the new versions.
Also, I like that each program is installed in its default directory instead of customized installations.
No that is not correct. You CAN install newer programs of programs in ROM. How do you think Microsoft can update MSN Messenger, etc.? Try it, THEN come back and thank us b/c it will work.
Hi to all,
I just opened an FTP account to download/upload the roms.
ftp:\\server268.com
username:xda
password:myxda
you'll find on it the uncooked 4.00.11 rom verision as well as the 4.21X radio stack (a bit better than the 4.21)
Fell free to upload any other rom's.
ridaz could you upload on the FTP or send me by email your cooked 4.00.11 rom!!
regards,
Yann
I'll post my stable, email add attachment functioning no sd card erasing (knock on wood three times), phone ext working, copy of the .11 rom as soon as I find it. It has been installed for so long...

Romkitchen and magican

Can you use romkitchen with a magician unit. Or is it just the wallaby units that you can change?
If it's possible to edit a magician rom, can you then remove programs that are bundled with that rom or is it just possible to add stuff.
I ask beacuse i want to remove windows media player, msn mesenger and so on...
And of course i want to add my own programs to.

Romkitchen is just for Wallaby. In Magician you can use extenden ROM as "ROMkitchen".....
Stefan
ok
But with rom kitchen, can you delete thing like windows media player, i mean on the wallaby?
Just intrested... :lol:
Why do you want to remove those apps?

How ???
I could not find even password to encrypt/decrypt the ROM, so that I can cook my own ExtROM.

No not really. Basic applications are fix in the ROM. Maybe it´s possible to overwrite them, but never tried it.
Stefan
Cyprox:
Why do you want to remove the applications from ROM? Perhaps there is another way to reach what you want.

Id think it would be perfect to have a rom kitchen for the magician.
Has anyone ever found a way to edit the rom (not the ExtRom) and add/delete apps?

What is the extended rom?

I think I don'd understand what really is the extended rom.... Can you help me?

Search the forum. It has been discussed plenty.
The Extended ROM is a special part of the ROM, that is used of the providers to add their own and additonal files, that have to be installed on the first use of this device. It only have Programs and Reg-Settings in it. Afetr the installtion of this programs, the Memory Part of the extended ROM is useless for the device. You can't access the extended ROM and you can not save data on this memory....
Therefore the bigStorage hack is used to free this memory-part.
HTH
Stefan
Many thanks!
So... I'm Italian and I buoght my Jam with std Italian ROM.
I like to have Engl leanguage on all my devices so I hack the Country ID and I installed the WWE ROM.
It works fine but I lost some of Italian configuration and some applications (e.g. eTrust antivirus)...
I think that these applications are contained on Italian Extended ROM... is it right?
If is it right... can I install the Italian extended ROM in the WWE ROM?
Or... can I extract the eTRust antivirus and install it on my WWE ROM?
Yes, you should be able to install the programs of the italian extended ROM on the WWE ROM. Since most of the tools are os independet it should be no big problem.
The QtekS100_ITA_1.03.151 ExtRom is on the FTP. If your version was newer or anything else, than you have to get the files by yourself.....
Stefan
Great!
I've got i-mate Jam with the last WWE ROM downloaded fron the clubimate site...
I'd like to install the extended rom's app of Jam instead of S100...
Is possible to download the Jam's ext rom? ANy link?
Many thanks guys!

For THAT you will need for hard-spl..
Of course if someone hacks SEUS to retrieve old images from the updateservice, then i gues you could downgrade..
Downgrade works
It did work for me. I installed the UK MR2 (waiting for the Spanish version) and later downgraded to MR1.

How did you manage to downgrade to MR1? What i understand from SEUS, it always get's the latest version available.. But, if you hack the cab i created (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684323), and create a cab for a language that does not have the upgrade, then that will naturally install the "latest" version (in this case MR1).
But then you have a Spanish version of your phone..
This is just a theory, But if Spain are still waiting for MR2 would it not be possile to use the cabs that hertell has created to set the version you are using and to then upgrade to MR1 Spain BUT install the cabs from MR2 by exiting the customization screen??
Would this not install WinMo 6.5.2 without needing HardSPL

Yes, this would install the spanish version, but then you will have a spanish windows laying under whatever system you have.
BUT.. I noticed that ALL rom-cabs (except about 5 cabs) are the same, so the cabs check from somewhere which language your phone runs, and display from this the proper language.
So, we might have here again a possible way of fooling the installed cabs (applications) to display a different language than the underlying phone in real is running...
Hi, what I did was download the MR1 ROM (any language willddo), extract all the cabs, clear phone mem and just after the screen allignment pres hard reset. After restart it will ask if you want to continiou customization, press NO.
Copy the extracted cabs from the MR1 ROM to your memory card and install every one of them. Some will ask to reboot...press NO.
Agter all the cabs have been installed restart your device, shut down, press volume down and start button, connect to SEUS and tataaaa...your back at MR1 windos 6.5.2.
Regards,
Javier.

Yes, but which language did you refer to? SEUS updates automatically to the latest rom for that particular language you installed..
And to avoid the hassle of installing all cabs, then check my other thread over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684323
All cabs in all languages are exactly the same. It's just about 5 cabs that differ...
You need to download the cabs for your prefered language here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683619
Then follow the instructions I posted earlier.

Javier

Hi,
You did not tell what language you are using. Did you use an old spanish package to get the old MR1 release??
Hi,
yes, I used the Spanish rom.
Regards.
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
can anybody get old rom image file from C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs
maybe if this file rename new rom name and replace SEUS downgrade x2
