Okay.. I know you thought I fell off the face of the earth.. but no.. here I am.. I have been very busy at work with the girlfriend, ect, ect... Btw, I got the new Audiovox SMT5600 smartphone... It is very cool. Still use my ppc4100 for pda and for bigger jobs as a Smartphone is not a pocket pc. Okay... lets run down what I have done... I have edited the rom via hexeditor and been able to change bmp files within it. I now have my own operator pics that don't reset with a hard reset. However, the ril.gsm isnt' in there. Now I have read thats because in the rom form you can only access certain types of files.

So now to xda tools... Problems... we don't have files we need to compile....

Next I tried Microsoft platform builder to build a new rom for the device with old files but it doesn't support that type of rom so it can't open it.

Next... I have tried to flash 2003WM to the device but it failed... Why... well I think its because its in xda format...

Next I have tried looking like you guys on the anextek site and for a rom update for the anextek sp230 in hopes of disassembling it but no avail... Has any one tried backing up the rom using xda tools and then restoring it?

I have also found a tool that is supposed to save the bootloader and it saved it to my device but is it in the proper format?

Anyways.. thats all I have done....

And I knew about the diagnostics test.... Sorry I forgot to mention it...

Anyways... I have followed with the post...

Will talk to you guys later,

John
