Speaking of, have you figured out a way to do "that thing" on the ftp. I want to get some stuff up and make sure it is not stolen or erased.

nope I havent.....Ive got a few members who are supposed to help keep backups of the ftp site tho. not sure what to do about it and the anonymous ftp is kind of expensive and unnecessary imho.

I guess we could go with password protected Winrar files. Can we get a download count? I ask because if all of the sudden there are 100 downloads in a day, I need to pull it. PM me back.

Now back to regularly scheduled on topic discussion.

DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES I MADE:
Here is a little help for those of you getting ready to make your own ROM. Follow the directions in the first post.
- The .NBA file you create is cut from the first directory. It must be in the second directory when you create the dump. It must also be in that same directory when you put the dump back into the .NBA file. You might get busy and move it. The dump into NBA program will run without the .NBA file in the directory, but you will just waste your time if the file is not there. After the dump to .NBA program runs, you WILL NOT see any changes in the .NBA file (date modified, or size), but the dump has been placed in there.
- The .HV actions gave me the biggest problems. The first time you make an .HV, a boot.rgu will be created. It does not belong in the .HV directory. The next time you run the make .HV if there is a boot.rgu in the directory, it will mess up your default.hv. It will give you a very small default.hv 68K vs 700K or so. Also if you are making a ROM with .NET 2.0, the hv to txt program will not formt correctly. You will need to edit the NET 2.0 entries from @="\Windows to @="\\Windows.

I hope this info saves someone a day or two of work.

ooh, damn, nailed it on the head... so that's the problem. i just assumed it would break down the same way. hehe thanks

I would love to do this to make my own extdended rom but on paper here it llooks pretty hard. I used to flash my tre550 alll the time. That was a piece of cake. In reality is it harder to do for the 6700 or would you say if one could do it for the treo one could do it for the 6700??

Now cheryl this is a complet ROM tutorial not a ExtROM. Which would be easier. But I u feel up to it, give it a shot. And surely if u could do it on ur treo, with a little practice u will have the hang of wm.

Hi Zoomie (USAFA?) - when I do my first .hv to .txt coversion for say default.hv, and search for '@="\Windows"' I get nothing and I can't find any @= references in the .Net registry entries. Am I looking in the wrong places?

Thanks, Jeff
