Hi everyone I've had an XDA2 since Friday and have recently tried to upload a custom extended rom which I made from the original ms_.nbf provided on the o2 website. I have used er2003edit to edit the original rom and then used the provided HimaUpgradeUt.exe (0.9.1.0) to upload the rom. The rom uploads to 100% waits about 15 seconds and then just dissapears from my computer screen and the XDA2 is left blank. I then reset the XDA2 and am stuck in boot mode.
Does any one know if what I am trying to do is impossible, or if I am doing something wrong?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards, Russ
I have since been able to use my custom Extended Rom with modified cabs by using HimaUpgradeUt.exe to flash the Nk.nbf, ms_.nbf and Radio.nbf in one process.
So it appears that you cannot flash extended rom on its own? Surely you dont have to flash all roms just to get your custom ms_.nbf rom to work?

Upragding Rom
hey adbradwell
firstly download er2003edit, install it.
step1. Extract your rom 1.72 to a folder.
step2. now u will see 6 files, the files which need to be edited are ms_.nba, NK.nba, Radio_.nba.
step3. now open these files one by one and change the operator from T Mobile to O2. It will ask u password for each file, the password is as follows:
NK.nbf NK.nba password = 0x20040304
ms_.nbf ms_.nba password = 0x20040305
Radio_.nbf Radio_.nba password = 0x20040306
Step4. Edit all the three, dont change anything else and save it.
Step5. now run HimaUpgradeUt.exe.
Step6. It will start upgrading, it will take 1-2 minutes to start and the whole process will take around 1 hour.
thats it ur done.
enjoy

It's already installed on my device.
I thought i've tried that way. (Changing the operator to O2). But it didn't start at all! Have you try it by yourself?

1 question. Is it safe if i wanna back to any ROM? Which ROM suiteable with 1.06 Bootloader?
Hi guys,
I have a XDA2 with 'write protected' ext rom. I read here that after cooking a ext rom i have to flash it in using HimaUpgradeUt without the nk and radio.
I tried it but after flash complete successfully, i ended up with a dead XDA2 that shows only serial/usb v1.03 :shock:
Eventually i recovered my XDA2 by flashing everything (nk, radio, ms) all over again.
Has anyone seen such a problem before ?
Regards.
I just used the procedure described in the Wiki for dumping the ROM of my Tytn.
I now have 3 RAW files. I've also copied the Ext_Rom to my local hardisk so I have a back of it too.
The question is whather this DUMP has the Radio ROM too or only the PDA. What about the SPL and IPL and Radio-bootloader?
If I know use the Unlocking program and upgrade to a different ROM, will I be able to get back to the EXACT situation I have now?
I'm asking because my device was purchased from Orange Israel. If anytime in the future I'll need their support, I better have their original ROM installed. Will I be able to revert?
I have this same thing, only I've already installed Black 2.5, but I do have the .raw files and the ext_rom, but I do not know how to reconstruct
(this should work on hermes)

I just can't figure out how to create a OS.nb file :\
I just downloaded one of the WM5 WWE roms listed on the wiki and extracted the OS.nb from it. After a bit of trial and error i have managed to load back the original dumped rom that i created before i loaded Black 2, just need to work on replacing the splash screens, as those didn't return to original
From what i can tell this has only restored the OS, Radio Rom and everything else are unchanged
If you guys had done some searching you would have arrived at my WM5 Downgrade Guide, enjoy.
I installed Olipro Hard SPL and am now able to try any wm6 ROM without SPL.
After having tried many of them, I would like to downgrade and try the last Qtek shipped ROM for wizard: QT_FR_9100_2170706_21707106_20710_180406.
But no matter how I try, I'm now unable to install that wm5 ROM.
Even my former SPV M3000 shipped ROM refuse to re-install.
I guess it's either a problem of RUU, or more probably a problem of SPL on those ROM.
I'd like to remove their SPL, but I don't know how to do.
Any tutorial, advice, or special no ID RUU that fits well those wm5 ROM?
The actual problem with this Rom is the RUU.
It won't let you downgrade.
However it is wise to get rid of the IPL/SPL, for safety and for keeping the hard SPL.
You can use typho5.exe to disassemble the ROM in parts, and use nbftool to re-assemble it without using the IPL/SPL.
They are available in the ROM kitchens.
Use the ruu in the hard spl thread for flashing.
Thanks for the reply, Equinoxe.
Actually I've already tried many RUU, not only the Ruu already included in the official ROM.
Mun RUU etc. But no luck, all kind of error occured but the the flashing remains impossible.
I'll try to find the tools you told me about and see whether removing IPL/SPL makes it easier to flash those ROM.
If you know any special RUU suitable for such a downgrade, please, let me know.

If Mun's RUU didn't do the trick, you better use the CORE pro kitchen.
You can extract the parts with typho5.exe
usage:
typho5.exe -x nk.nbf
all the parts will be created/extracted
Delete all the IPL_1 IPL_2 SPL_1 and SPL_2 parts
use nbftool to reassemble the ROM. (read the PDf to see the starting addresses, although nbftool should be patched to show the right addresses)
Good luck

Hi Equinox, thanks for the reply.
I started trying to get typho working, but all I could see was a brief command prompt and nothing else.
Finally, I ended up using Molski DevPack, which already includes those tools, in quite an ergonomic way.
After finding a guide about using those tools, It took me, no kidding about 10 mn for the whole process and 5 more to do the flashing.
I used nb2nbf_wizard to reassemble the ROM with only the parts I wanted to keep, including the extended ROM.
Regarding the address, it did it automatically, except for the HTC logo that I did manually, and also for the name of the Extended and Logo I renamed according to the sample jpeg showing that soft in action.
Since I kept the extended ROM and the original splash and logo screen, and I now have an authentic Qtek Wizard, just for fun.
But the most important is the feeling of building one's own ROM, according to your own taste and choice. Wonderful.
You were right: after having removed SPL/IPL and rebuilt the ROM, the Mun RUU worked flawlessly to flash my so called Qtek ROM onto my wizard.
In the meantime, It got rid of the pile of miscellanous splash screens and logos that were left since the install of all previous wm6 ROM.
Thanks again for the tips.
P.S.: the guide I used to understand how to use the Molski DevPack:

Did some searching on this forum on updating an i-mate smartflip and not having much luck figuring out which ROM for US English to use and how to load.
I tried loading ruu_star100_4.1.502.5_02.79.30_cws_ship but I get error 294 Invalid Vendor ID which is not too surprising as I believe this is Cingular's ROM.
So I installed the registry editor and set the three policy values as documented and then executed SDA_ApplicationUnlock and again ruu_star100_4.1.502.5_02.79.30_cws_ship.
Still get the same error regarding invalid vendor.
Sure would appreciate advice on the best or current ROM to replace what is on the i-mate Smartflip and steps I need to execute to get ROM to load.
Thanks in advance

Yep I been thru the post of current ROMs and I have the i-mate ROM listed in that post on my phone, that is how it came in the package. Since I am not impressed with i-mate ROM I tried to replace it with the Cingular 3125 ROM thinking is runs better.
Just trying to figure out how to load either the Cingular or Qteck ROM.
Thanks
CID unlock your device, you wont be impressed with the other roms either. Get one of the wm6 roms.
Thanks for the help.
I executed the app unlock, SuperCID, and loaded the WM6 ROM and I am in buissness.
Thanks again !!!!!!!!!!!!!
