Surely not. It is the second part of the diskimage.nb0 file, after the Microsoft Windows Mobile SPL (Secondary Program Loader) and before the RAWFS and the IMGFS partitions.

MBR sector is needed. It is like with your desktop PC system drive. MBR is the list of the available partitions. ULDR you can erase AFAIK.

Seems like nobody is really interested in WM5 anymore.

I have managed to flash my self cooked in January WM5.

I have always wanted to integrate the anti-theft app (IIWPO = interesting interaction with previous owner) found in xda-dev, and hard reset will not remove this feature, so this cooked rom's addition are
1. Registry for the anti-theft app with my info in it, so if this info changes due to theft will alert me with info of the thief. So only I can use this rom.
2. The anti-theft app's exe in windows directory.
3. The anti-theft app's startup in windows\startup directory.

Seems working fine.

Like the original WM5 on flame, it does not suffer from sleeping beauty issue (even with Wi-Fi on).

I have flashed also the QWERTY's WM6 Test 2, it has the sleeping beauty issue (only with Wi-Fi on), before registry tweak.

Another intesting finding, all that I have backup from original wm5 can recover on orginal wm5, but does not work with cooked wm5, not to mention that the backup does not work on wm6.

Any pointers for me for original wm5 vs cooked wm5?

I think the sip issue will not be solved before wm7. Microsoft have heared us. that we need a better memory management.

But I have succeeded after tweaks to add 2 sips: english and french calligrapher, and resco keyboard.

I can add PCM Keyboard with no hassle, and that's the only one I personnaly need
If you have problems one particular SIP, make it load first using default_im or im_selector (find them at xda-dev)

Well Thierry I know SIPs often raise problems so that's the first thing I install after a hard-reset, along with default_im (did you try it ?)
I used PCMK 0.13 and now 0.14. It may not work if it isn't started first (default_im)

I'm going to test your tips :
- default_im
- put it first in the startup menu
Actually, French calligraper isn't the SIP I want to use. I want to succeed installing the french version of PDA Keyboard.

Studying the IMGFS part of the XDA Flame ROMs I am starting to suspect this:

There are section entries with header magic number 0xFFFFF6FD, but main part of them has header magic number 0xFFFFFCFD, which is less known from other devices. These section entries stay for module parts of mainly EXE and DLL executable files. It is known that the XDA Flame ROM is of the NOR type, allowing XIP (execution in place). It is possible not only for the so called XIP part of the ROM, but also for the IMGFS part, even if not so common. I guess that the 0xFFFFFCFD section header indicates XIP sections.

There may be a problem in all the homemade ROMs, that all these sections are marked as 0xFFFFF6FD and so they are probably being loaded to the RAM before execution. It brings delays, may block the internal bus and/or freeze the device especially when waking from sleep.
