Thanks a ton!

YES, It does boot with the 21728 XIP.

Hey, this is a humble suggestion/request to all people here: You guys seems to be making roms in a great rush with builds coming out almost everyday, without even trying to discus even a word about the noticeable changes in the builds, does this makes any sense? I think we should atleast have one post about each build's changes, preferably posted by the person who is posting the SYS/XIP. What do you guys think?

Here is xip 21806.bin for VOGUE

What do we lose using an 21728 XIP with a 21731 SYS file? What does the XIP file contain?

Thanks,
Jeff

Most of these releases are missing one file or another. I've gotten to the habit of ovewritting the old build with the new build to fill in the blanks.

On an unrelated note: Is it just me or do these two new releases takes a LOOOOOT of RAM to run? I'm getting 20mb free on my Herald on a completely stripped ROM. (Unless it's one of the modules that I've changed on the OEM itself...)

Ok, I'll try it again. After looking at the one I posted a little more thoroughly, I can see why it's not working. Hang on, I should have one up here shortly.


Update: Ok, this one looks better, and I have a feeling it will boot! Let me know.

Mainly coredll.dll which basically EVERYTHING uses. This is also where the version number is pulled from when you look at system info, so by using a 21728 XIP, that's what your version will say. There are also some other critical OS components in there as well, so it is always BEST to use the proper XIP, since some of the OS files may expecting something that an older XIP won't have.

Thank you for the information. Now I know.

I am installing a new ROM based on your newer 21731 xip. I will let you know if it works in a few minutes.

Nope, the new one did not work either. I am trying a build with the older 21728 XIP, but since the other poster said that one worked, I am sure mine will also.

Update: Yes, using the XIP from 21728 the phone boots fine.
