Request for Clio 1050 owners

I'm wondering if there is in fact a way to enable screen rotation on my c-1000, and was thinking maybe any of the 1050 owners on here could look in the registry (HKLM\Drivers\Display) and see if there is anything listed in there about rotation.

If it's not in there, if someone would be so kind as to try and using dumprom (http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/dumprom.html) to try and extract the rotation utility (or the Clio Settings cpl at the least) from the ROM (I'm assuming it's in ROM) for me?

I would be forever in your debt

This is the contents of my HKLM\Drivers\Display of my Clio 1050:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Display]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Display\Active]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Display\Active\Built In LCD]
Dll="ddi.dll"
BufferMode=dword:1
TapMode=dword:1

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Display\SED1356]
MediaPlug=dword:2852130816
MemBase=dword:2854223872
RegBase=dword:2852126720
Width=dword:640
Height=dword:480
Bpp=dword:16
ActiveDisp=dword:1
Rotation=dword:0

Unfortunately, it is imposble to extract the ROM with dumprom, which has been compiled for ARM only. Dumprom is open source, so I guess someone could try to compile a MIPS version...

cant either of you compile it as a programmer? (i would do it but i'm no programmer)

I've emailed the developer of the utility, hopefully it'll be relatively easily recompiled for mips.

Edit: Geared: are those the registry settings when you have the screen rotated 90 degrees? Let me know if they change at all when you rotate it 90 degrees. Thanks.

I think you're talking about different ROM Dump utilities, the app references in post1 is for blowing up images, I think that Geared2003 is talking about the XDA ROM image builder tool.

I'm pretty sure it's the same utility. Dumprom (from what I understand) allows you to dump files from the ROM (extracting them) so you can copy or whatever as you wish. The link I provided in the first post is the XDA ROM dump utility. The utilities to build a ROM image (http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/romtools.html) from a set of files is linked to on the same page I linked to.

I think you are getting two different utilities mixed up. ROMdump is the ARM Windows CE program written by mamaich that is run ON the device to extract the first 64mb of its ROM to a file that is suitable for use by Dumprom. Dumprom is a desktop Windows utility used to extract files from the ROM file that results or an official ROM distribution from the OEM if it is in a compatible format.

Dumprom is available here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/dumprom.html
mamaich's ROMdump used to be here, but his site is sadly gone: http://mamaich.kasone.com/imate/ROMDump.rar
More information about ROMdump can still be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=11826&highlight=romdump
Since ROMdump is no longer downloadable from mamaich's site, I have uploaded the binary and source here: http://cosmopod.com/mysite/tfgbd/ROMDump.rar

romdump probably does not support anything earlier than ppc 2002 (or ppc 2000?). it is never meant 2 be a universial rom dumping tool.

Some chinese pals have complied the ce 2.12 mips and hpc 2k mips version and dumped some roms of original ce 2.11 and hpc2k machines. all failed.

the "ROM" or the 32M thing could be generated, but ya would never extract working files from the rom.

The Clio rotate utility is a definitely buggy: I tried to rotate my screen and I got a real mess with the screen calibration. I had to hard reset the device. I am afraid that I am going to leave the screen rotation disabled to avoid further trouble... Try nyditot instead if you really need screen rotation

This one is the ROM Image Inflation utility, not the cloner

does nyditot work on hpc pro?

as for romdump, it can extract hpc2000 stuff... older than ppc2002... TFGBD why not publish the 720 rom files

iamjoe: it wasnt due to the old OS that they failed. those system files are usually XIP.

but i'm interested in the ce 2.11 romdumpers can you provide a download link to this?

Normally, Nyditot works only with CE3+. Nyditot v2 (HPC version) might work on HPC Pro with some hexediting...

Nyditot 2.01 is designed to run under 2.11

nevermind

I had a go at compiling the ROMDump source onto MIPS for you, and it's a no go. At least with my abilities.

It will build A-OK under a Platform SDK, but they only give you ARM these days, no use to us. Under C++ 3/4 the thing is demanding access to StoreMGR, and guess what, it's not part of the .net Standard SDK, or anything lower. If the device has the StoreMGR, it'll be in its native-mode SDK, but clearly it's not considered 'generic' enough for the Standard-mode.
If you clear that out, it gives CLARM errors under ARM4, and just dies under anything else.
