I need a small favor - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development

I am looking for a bootloader dump from a working XDA2. Version doesn't matter I guess, but 1.03 is preferable. It's very easy to do with absolutely no risk for your working XDA2 and takes 1 second. Just run savebootloader.exe om your XDA2. It will create a 256Kb file in your root named bootloader.nb0
Just copy it to your PC and put on my FTP - ID64.serveftp.com
akira/akira
I'll really appreciate it.
I'll create different folders for a different versions 1.01 1.03 1.06 and Other

Tried to get on your ftp and it was busy.
Here is the bootloader from my MDA II

o2 ROM Upgrade to 1.60.52 GER with own ExtROM (step-by-step)

Hi Folks,
o2 Germany has now published an upgrade to ROM version 1.60.52 GER.
http://hilfe.o2online.de/srvs/DATA/...download/xda_software/neu/xda_16052ger_o2.exe
THIS VERSION IS GERMAN ONLY (ALTHOUGH INSTALLER IS IN ENGLISH), SO ONLY UPGRADE WHEN YOU HAVE A GOOD COMMAND OF THE GERMAN LANGUAGE OR INTEND TO STUDY ANOTHER FOREIGN LANGUAGE!
o2 kept us waiting for a long time, but it looks like it was worth waiting and some old problems (like HZ-Indicator; Bluetooth etc.) have been fixed (at least they tried to!).
Have fun, any comments on the new version are highly appreciated!

Hi!
when i extract extended ROM image file, it can't be accesed by ROM editor from Wiki.. what's wrong?
now that we have thsi update, the question is: do we get a wm2k3se update and if so, when?
Um... is the language in german, or in english, or can it be switched to english?
First Upgrade leads to "Country Error" - Downgrade
After reading some postings in a German forum I already knew about the problem for those using XDAII with T-Mobile ROM 1.60.00 GER:
The update program won't start, displaying "Country error" (or sth. like that). This problem is solved by downgrading to T-Mobile 1.03.00 (which can be downloaded on the same page as the upgrade). After that upgrade works fine, leading to:
ROM-Version: 1.60.00GER
ROM-Date: 12/03/03
Radio-Stack: 1.10.00
Protokoll-Vers: 1337.18
ExtROM-Vers: 1.60.52 (attached)
Compared to the German T-Mobile 1.60 ROM, the radio stack seems to be improved (from 1.06.01 to 1.10.00) and the o2 ExtROm was updated (from 1.03.27 to 1.60.52). Also some good news for the o2 subscribers in Germany using the XDAII: The Homezone control seems to be fixed -until now I did not spot any problems.
Enjoy (and report bugs)...
HI Is this safe to use on the UK XDA II?
Should I wait until the uk release?
The only thing that I am waiting for mainly is a Bluetooth handsfree profile.
@oliven_99
How's your german... 'cause this is a true german update ;-)
links für downgrade pls
"The update program won't start, displaying "Country error" (or sth. like that). This problem is solved by downgrading to T-Mobile 1.03.00 (which can be downloaded on the same page as the upgrade). After that upgrade works fine "
Where can we download T-Mobile 1.03.00
Pls post the link for the german T-Mobile 1.03.00 downgrade because I also got the Country Error!
http://www.t-mobile.de/downloads/company/t-mobile/mda_2_ver_10305.zip
But remember: Downgrade and Upgrade is in German!
It works
Many Thanks!
Does anyone knoews why the ext. ROM Version 1.60.52 GER can not be opened, edited with Windows Mobile 2003 ROM Editor from Wiki?
Homezone Indicator
Cool!!!
The homezone indicator seems now to work stable!
Well done, O2 Germany
CAUTION!!!
Today I got shocked when I tried to modify the ExtROM and almost ruined it. After the common way with ER2003edit did not work out, I tried to downgrade the ExtROM to 1.03.05 (T-Mobile) with the old HimaUpgradeUt that came with that version.
After doing that, the XDA did not work anymore, just showing "serial USB 1.1". After that I tried to flash my cooked ExtROM (merger out of the latest ExtROM and some other cabs), what left my XDA still without function. Then slowly panic arose and I flashed the latest, complete upgrade (1.60.52) again, what led to a standard & working XDAII.
Now I am happy that I did not ruin the device, but still looking for a way to modify the ExtROM. Maybe it is time for those who really know what they are doing to give a little hint to the masses, how this can be solved...
INSTRUCTIONS: Homecooked (locked) ExtROM with o2 GER 1.60.52
Okay, finally I figured out, how to flash the new version with my own ExtROM:
If you are upgrading your XDAII from the MDAII 1.60 ROM, please prepare your XDAII for flashing by downgrading to MDAII 1.03 ROM as explained above. Otherwise you will get a country error.
1. download xda_16052ger_o2.exe from o2 Germany
http://hilfe.o2online.de/srvs/DATA/...download/xda_software/neu/xda_16052ger_o2.exe
2. download ER2003Edit
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/ER2003Edit
3. download tool Decode extended ROM below (thanks Jos!)
4. use WinRAR to extract the upgrade files from xda_16052ger_o2.exe (you'll get six files: 3 Hima* and 3 *.nbf)
5. unzip files from Decode extended ROM to a separate folder and add ms_.nbf (from step 4) and run decode.bat
6. after decoding, you can open the file ms_.nbf with ER2003Edit, modify the ExtROM-Files and splash images.
7. after modifying, save and run encode.bat, but only perform the encoding step, afterwards copy ms_.nbf back to the files extracted in step 4
8. now start HimaUpgradeUt.exe and flash XDAII as usual, but with your individual ExtROM
(According O2 this step can take up to 1 1/2 hours!)
This upgrade worked out with my German XDAII with (locked) ExtROM. In former versions of the upgrade utility it was possible, to upgrade the ExtROM only, one just had to remove the unwanted *.nbf before upgrading. But now it looks like only a full upgrade will lead to a working XDAII. Otherwise it will be dead but can be recoverd by giving a full upgrade with all three parts.
I will certainly only be held liable for ruining my own XDAII - what you do to your gemstone is on your own risk. There might be easier ways, please drop a note if you find one...
New splash screen...
Just to make it complete:
While installing the new ROM I noticed that there is a second splash image, which is changed to the old one after executing O2DECustomize.sa.CAB. As I liked that new splash screen better, I have changed it within the cab file and removed some other useless example files.
Just replace the old O2DECustomize.sa.CAB in your ExtROM with the one below or copy to and execute on your XDAII to change splash screen (will stay until the next hardreset).
The RSB-Converter is just a tool that I found while waiting for ages to get a trial key for ACDSee. Take this tool if you want to convert your individual splash screeen to the required RSB format. Find further information on creating individual splash screen here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=3759&highlight=splash1+nb
After creating your favorite splash image (as *.bmp, 24 bit) cut 13 pixel from the left side of the picture and paste it to the right side (after moving the big part to the left). If you don't do that your splash won't fit the screen properly.
Hi all
For those how what to save close to 2MB space in their ext-rom I have a set of updated files
O2_DE_custimized has additional the settings made in
Broadcast_GER
MIDI_GER_reg
O2_AP_DE_20040118
O2_DE
version_AKU1 which you don't need anymore.
removed is O2 movie, spash images, and O2 ringtone
additonal the regfile makes the ext-rom visible and activates cleartype by default.
CameraRD132_GER removed help file and button graphic
ClearVue233_GER removed ads/demo files
regards, Alex
At the german forum "ppc-welt-community" a user reported, that he tried the update with his xda1 an the upgrate worked.
I doubt about this...what do you mean? Should it be possible to upgrade the xda1?
:?
Hey, I found the entry in the forum, there is no way written that somebody actually manged it or was so stupid to try it.
I think it won't even start, as the bootloader are not the same and the UpgradeUtility will (hopefully) not start at all.
There is an upgrade to WindwosMobile2003 for XDAI this is what he writes about, this is not the upgrade which is here talked about.

WM2k5_1.50g_XDA2_HIMALAYA.rar

Is this (WM2k5_1.50g_XDA2_HIMALAYA.rar) newer then this
(WM2k5_XDA2_HIMALAYA_O2_FullRAM)
getting confuse.
I have a few question, please advise me.
1. extracted either files, and found that there is no (ms_) and (Radio_)
is this normal ?
2. i saw Radio 1.7.
Do i need to put Radio 1.7 together with NK.nbf and HimaUpgradeUt.
3. As for Protocol
Do i need to grab from the WM2003SE upgrade files?
I have read Wiki, but it did not mention about Radio 1.7 and Protocol
please guide me.

WM2k5_1.50g_XDA2_HIMALAYA.rar :shock:
to my knowledge g could be newer than f the one in the full ram version, so this potantially could be newer, as for the files ms & radio they have to be in the same folder as NK, regarding the protocol i have no idea what do you mean so please explain further
Basically, i am trying to claify by comparing WM2003SE files.
You see, when you extract WM2003SE, you will see 3 files (MS, NK and radio) right?
And in WM2005, you only see 1 (NK).
So, by my understanding, there is no Radio, and MS(in this case, this is protocol) in WM2005
Does it means that do i need to copy Radio 1.7 FTP: xda:xda and (MS) from WM2003SE into WM2005 folder?
pardon my english.
i see the screenshot for WM2005, and it has the radio 1.7 and protocol 1337.38
this really confusing me
Also reading the upgrading procedure. is just use patch 1, patching the NK files
then use ERedit and change the operator
this leads me that this file is only for OS.
So, as for radio and protocol (here i means , MS and radio), it is copy individual from different files and place it into the folder WM2005(here i mean going to upgrade)
thanks
by the way, this file WM2k5_1.50g_XDA2_HIMALAYA.rar is only 6.08MB, which is smaller then WM2k5_XDA2_HIMALAYA_O2_FullRAM (23MB)
Huh, I downloaded it and my rar file was 23695Kb, the extracted NK.nbf was 32769Kb.
I need my device at the moment so I dare not risk the upgrade at the moment. If anyone has performed the upgrade please post a line if it was successful.
cheers

I'm still waiting to see an improvement. Even with the slightly newer kernel I still see my battery dropping approx 1% per hour. Maybe that's OK, but with my radio, BT, and IR off I think it should do better than a 25% / day drop. If my radio was on, for 8-12 hours then 25% (maybe 40%) makes sense. I do notice that ActiveSync seems to load itself periodically (which I never saw using WM2K3SE), and I assume my serial port is being energized whenever AS loads. This could account for the power drop, but I'm still observing it. I haven't seen anything I could point to as an improvement.
I was hoping to see an improved video camera and working SMSs... :wink:
Oh well, I'm willing to wait whatever time necessary for better and better releases of BuzzMobile5.0
WoW another version from Buzz.... Buzz can u please whats the diff between the old and the new pls..
i've upgrade my xda with 1.50g, it works just great, with more stability on my device, but still with the minor bug (camera, and record button). i can see the program memory is bigger than the 1.50f, so i can open the 3mb excel file freely. now i can use the wisbar advance 2 without a bug, i think....
gadz, or anybody else with WM5, have you tried Wisbar 2.10.0.29 ? When I tried to run it, it would lock up until I renamed lrgwesex.dll. I'm also experience small graphic hic-ups, is anyone else?

Custom RUU Updater

OK, I've finalised an RUU Updater with inclusive tools to allow you to Bake your own ROMs from the ones already out there
this does NOT mean you can edit the OS files, simply mix'n'match
The RUU Updater also will run the SSPL for you meaning that you can use this RUU to flash *ANY* ROM to your PDA even if it is fresh out of the box (but please do take care when doing so)
There is no NBH included in this file, and you will need to place one in the directory you extract this to in order to run it.
Eventually I will release a GUI app to simplify the ROM baking process, but for now, feel free to experiment, and remember, you *CAN* delete components from the NBHGen sample file (say for example you didn't want to flash a new Radio), but please remember to ensure that all files are named correctly.
Download: (UPDATED VERSION, INCLUDES AUTOMATED GUI TOOL)

Please note that the GUI tool is relatively primitive; please keep all files INSIDE the workshop folder, thanks

How to: upgrade to WM6 without a PC!

It is possible - I've just done it. I'm away from home and I've been using my Hermes (with WM5 AKU 3.3) to get my iBook online all week. Finally WM6 has appeared but I'm stuck with no Windows PC to perform the upgrade...but XDA-Developers gave me all I needed to do it. Here's the outline of how to do it (you'll need to figure out some finer details yourself, but I will help where possible if you get stuck).
1) You need just the .nbh file from the WM6 package of your choice. Unfortunately they are built into Windows installers. I downloaded XDA-Live and extracted the .nbh file using Virtual PC.
2)
i) Backup your storage card.
ii) Format your storage card. (I used a program called "Storage Tools" for this).
ii) Rename the WM6 .nbh file to HERMIMG.nbh and copy it to the root of the empty storage card.
3) Get Des' SSPL program from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=34184&d=1171162518
4) Put the SSPL executable on your phone and run it. Cross your fingers. The phone should enter the bootloader and offer to upgrade the OS using the image it finds on the storage card.
And that's it. Once I'd figured this out, the method is straighforward. The part that has taken me all day is getting the image file extracted from a Windows world and onto a blank storage card using only a Mac and the phone itself (and no other internet connection)!
Hope this is useful to someone else.
Edit: typo.
Great! This method is much safe than other methods that depends on USB because you don't have to worry about someone unplug the USB cable, or if the PC will hang during the flashing process.
Maybe the only thing to check is to ensure that the device to have enough battery for flashing
BTW, how long will it takes for this SD upgrade method?
Brilliant!
Very ingenious solution! I'm not ready to flash yet, I want to see some bugs worked out of the WM6, but when I'm ready will probably try it your way just to see how it works!
Ben
Awesome, I'm using Vista, and I don't want to install XP just to flash Thank you.
Will this work with the Universal? I'm getting Vista soon and I want to be able to reflash if I need to.
Thanks in advance.

I didn't time it but I'd guess it only took about 5 minutes.
You CAN flash on Vista using regular ROM updaters (the .EXEs). That's how I upgraded to AKU 3.3 recently (I don't have an XP machine either).
You do it by connecting in bootloader mode so that "HTC USB Sync" appears in Vista's Device Manager. Then you replace that driver with the one from 2004 (I got mine off the CD that came with the phone). Then the ROM updater works
Now is there a way to exec the sspl.exe on boot? So that some of the bricked users can jump start into bootloader and flash any rom.
unfortunately not... sspl is a wince EXE.
Radio ROMS's
Does anyone know if the Radio only ROM's can be flashed by this method also. If you can do you name the .nbh file the same or use a different name.
You can flash any NBH file, radio os or whatever. But not extracted radio roms in NBF, only in NBH. The file must be named HERMIMG.nbh.

Not sure if I understand your question.... the so called "service mode" is what we call "booltoader mode" or "tri-color screen".... just the same.
On normal RUU, the bootloader mode is invoked by EnterBootloader.exe, on custom RUU EnterBootloader.exe file has been replaced with SSPL-HERM.exe.

yes i know that BootLoader is a type of Service mode... i was talking about a different procedure... it looks like a command from the RomUpgradeUT file to signal the bootloader to just to flash the ROM and not check the RUU sig's, model type etc....

That's not possible with the normal IPL+SPL on device, load them on IDA Pro and you'll see what it exactly does, its small enough to follow all the disassembled code with the samsung manual in hand.
so......if i want to flash both radio and wm6,
all i have to do .. is to extract the nbh file from .exe using winrar or something and rename it, put it into a formated sd card.. and run the sspl thing and do the same for wm6 ?
yes hellokittyr, that's right.
Hi pof,
have you tried to digg into the radio ROM as well? Probably with the right manual in hand one could seperate the RBL from the rest and create a 1.35.00.11 radio ROM with RBL 0107.

Hi there,
i have a problem, my hermes did a hard reset (after playing with Sktools) ,and the bad thing is that i took all the cabs out of the extrom to free space and install other( prog not cab).
Now, after using V3a unlocker and the cab mountAllExtom, i see the ext rom
and can erase progs in it but the memory remains in use . i only have 0.84 M free .
can someone help me to recover all that precious space
Thank you

I'm not sure if this is the best way, but try to upgrade to lastest LVSW that includes Extended ROM, so after the upgrade, you can unlock in the same way you do in the past and use the 10Mb extra space.
Of course, if you are not planning to upgrade to WM6, don't follow me

thank you jcespi2005
but i prefer to stay with a french and stabel rom. Are they any french patche for this rom.

flash a NBH containing only an extrom using HardSPL, this will fix your issue.
Thanks Pof,
but i am a beginner.
Where can i find it or how can i do it ?
TH
wiki and forum, search for: nbhextract, nbhgen, hardspl and customRUU.
1) Flash HardSPL (latest version) on your phone
2) Extract ExtROM.nb from any shipped NBH (it doesn't matter which one) using nbhextract
3) Convert ExtROM.nb to NBH using nbhgen
4) Flash your newly created NBH file containing only ExtROM into your device using CustomRUU, make sure to start the upgrade in bootloader mode with activesync disabled.
super
muchas gracias Pof
I'll let you know if i succed

Use the same guide here but change the technique to Ext.ROM only and don't select the OS.nb. In other words it's exactly the same steps exept for one.

ok sniper251
this means i only have to "click" on the extrom button and disregard the others ?
Yes and don't forget step #4 in Pof post assuming you have Hard Spl 1.40olipro.
Also you can check wether the .nb file is good or not before conversion using the file attached.
It worked fine to extarct the extrom.nb but which command do i need to execute the NBHgen ?
BTW i could not download the koch generator
Thanks for help
