RomID gone? No problem

[dmitrygr]

A lot of NVFS devices tend to lose their Flash ROM IDs. This is a problem for some apps that use it for registration, and in general is annoying. This free app will assign your device a new unique RomID and set it. This setting survives hard Resets. The "Set RomID" app can be found => [HERE (http://www.palmpowerups.com/downloads.php?cat_id=2&rowstart=27)] <=

If you want a vanity RomID (like "John's PDA"), i am willing to take interest in your request for a nominal fee :D

do not run this if your device has powerdrive

(I don't think peepul realize just how scary the possibilities are with a simple app like this - think of it being customizable for specific ROM IDs for specific Apps...)

[dmitrygr]

It isn't. It sets it once, as long as the current RomID does not exist.

[DickieD]

Yeah - I'm jus sayin what if

Is RomID same as DeviceID or S/N?
Traditionally and for the vast majority of devices (that have RomIDs), yes. However there are exceptions. Most notably refurbished devices will often have a RomID not equal to the serial number.

[dmitrygr]

and of course the ones that lost it and this app generates new ones :)
they are of form PlmPwrp-XXXX, where XXXX is a unique string

and my devices, all of which have RomId of "D.Grinberg's"
