i8000 WM6.5 ROM (Updated 18 July 2010)

[Guest Lancez]

Click Start, then click Run, then type cmd and press enter

ok, i have extracted pagepooltools folder on desktop and along with nb0. open up dos window, c:\documents and settings\lance>desktop\pagepooltools\pagepool.bat then enter, but it shows the option but also states the choice is not recognized as an internal or external command.

do u know how to get it to work? i'm a newbie about those stuff, thanks

It's a dos batch file. Did not try it under WinXP, just Win7/Vista.

Use notepad to look at the pagepool.bat file. You will see how it works.

Just type the line with the pagepool size you want.

Example: bspatch GC_21897_8PP.nb0 GC_21897_12PP.nb0 12PP.patch

Just checked WinXP batch file commands and 'choice' cmd is not availeble in WinXP, but

is in Vista. Bummer!

[Guest nicoscy]

i followed the instructions and i made it. i changed the page pool to 16 with win7. i did not flash my phone yet.

thanks a lot. great job

[Guest garyfl]

The instructions are a step-by-step how to change page pool.

Tools/Files Provided:

bspatch.exe - patches the .nb0 pagepool

pagepool.bat - DOS batch file to automate the pagepool patching

MD5-setup.exe - for verifying the MD5 value of the patched .nb0 - windows-based program (optional)

MD5 Checksums.txt - use to verify the patch and the download

0PP_patch, 12PP_patch, 16PP_patch, 20PP_patch - Page Pool patch files

Ok. Let's get started patching the PagePool.

1. Unzip PagePoolTools.zip (all files should be placed in same folder)

2. Install MD5-setup.exe (one-time install) you can skip this if you already have a

way to calculate the MD5 number.

3. Copy the downloaded .nb0 to the same folder as the PagePoolTools (Ex. GC_21897_8PP.nb0)

4. Open a DOS window

5. Navigate to the PagePoolTools folder.

6. Run PagePool.bat

Example: D:\> pagepool.bat

7. Select the PagePool size you want (Options 1-4)

8. Wait ~5 seconds, then should be complete

For example, you end up with a file: GC_21897_16PP.nbo, if you selected 16MB PagePool

Original .nb0 is NOT altered.

9. Use MD5 calc program to generate an MD5 number for new file with patched PagePool

and compare it with the MD5 number in MD5 Checksums.txt (optional, but highly recommended)

10. If the numbers are the same, you are ready to flash.

pagepool.bat is a DOS batch file utility and has to be run from a DOS window.

The utility will run under Vista/Win7 but not WinXP.

Attached is the batch file for WinXP.

PagePoolXP.zip

Fixed Vista/Win7 batch file.

PagePool.zip

Actually, the PagePoolXP batch file can be used for WinXP/Vista/Win7.

cheers used the xpbatch worked but isnt it suppposed to change the file name ? also even though it said pagepool patched it said unknown command or somethig

[Guest unholygid2006]

Hi guys... before i start reflashing again :P

What page pool do u guys recommend? 0 or 20?

I've got a nice amount of ram after flashing with 8pp and installing all my apps but still i would like to more speed.

Any recommendations?

If you read the instructions:

For example, you end up with a file: GC_21897_16PP.nbo, if you selected 16MB PagePool

Original .nb0 is NOT altered.

[Guest garyfl]

Do you have 2 files? The original GC_21897_8PP.nb0 and the new one with the new pagepool?

[Guest unholygid2006]

Gary...

All works except 0pp... no idea why it didnt got created but the rest are ok

[Guest Gary Crutcher]

Gary...

There is a typo in the batch file, i.e., a 'pp' before GC_

I posted a new batch file in previous posts.

I tried them all except 0PP. My bad.

[Guest garyfl]

yeah original and then after weaiting a while for the dos i ended up with GC_21897_0PP.nb0

ram shows 159.41mb

yet only 81.50 free, where as on 8mb pp it showd 96mb free for me :/ is that the consequence of pp being dynamic ?

I think so because when I flashed the 0PP file on my O2, I noticed memory was in the mid to low 80s.

Even using cleanram did not help much.

[Guest garyfl]

does make the phone snappy as it seems to allocate a lot of ram willy nilly but this now means no opera aha. is it easy to make a 1mb pp ? or does it have to be in multiples

[Guest unholygid2006]

20pp seems to make the phone faster. But ram is around 70mb ++.

I see how much ram is left after i install all my apps.

I can make patches for any size page pool, but usually they are in multiples of 4MB.

Getting late here in Bangkok. Almost 12:30am. Time for sleep.

I did not get the bat to work but fixed it simply by copying the full string (from the batfile) direct at the c prompt in the rom directory

cmd did work with my XP, there is also a "command prompt" icon in the "accessories directory".

It looked like this, and with all files unzipped to the "rom" directory if you don't get cmd to work.

C:\rom>bspatch.exe GC_21897_8PP.nb0 GC_21897_12PP.nb0 12PP_patch

Ended up with a new nb0 file

GC_21897_12PP.nb0

Same size as the 8pp original and was OK with the hashCalc and that's the one I'm going to use....

Gary,

I have CSC URJB3 i noticed that you have EBJB3 does it matter in any way?

PHONE XXJB2 (same as yours)

Thank you very much Gary, I will flash now...

Greetings from Sweden

-----------------------------

Update:

All working great, Tank you very much Gary.

I noticed among other things that the TCPMP player is 20-30% faster/better, must be some significant changes in the graphics department!

Activesync is also improved, it was a little random connection before.

if I can make a suggestion, I think it would be more transparent if you updated the first post with that the newest roms were in the top of the post.

Yes. Thank you.

Thought about doing that last night but was very tired.

Will do it today.

[Guest Gary Crutcher]

Mirrors are ok, but I will not update them.

If someone wants to mirror post #1, it's ok.

[Guest speedfrog]

why mirror? Rapidshare is the best ! :P
