XDAII ROM Backup - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development

Hello,
I have few questions about XDA II...
1. Is it possible to backup the original ROM, Radio Stack and Ext ROM before upgrading? How?
2. If answer to question 1 is yes, how to restore it?
3. How to enter the XDA2s bootloader?
Thank you.

Thank you very much!

Hm but it can't back up the RS and ext rom - it accept only the "ds2" command without any further parameters.... And how to read the ROMs stored on the SD?

Upgrade ROM

Hello to all,
I need help with upgrading rom. I have 1.03.00 and I would like upgrade to some new rom. Could I backup my old rom? Could I backup my Radio? Whats happend with extended rom after I upgrade rom? Which one rom is optimum for me PH10B - Czech Rep.?
Thank you much for help!!!
st.tom
Backup your ROM and/or radio to SD via booting into bootloader. Advise would be sticking with your current radio stack and test out the new rom first. The new AT&T ROM for US appears to be very stable but the radio might not be for you.

the laterest trad. Chinese ROM is 1.66.06
I am using it now ~
cool!
simplified chinese rom
Hi, there:
I'm a newbie from china mainland, and I'm using a dopod696 which I think is an oemed xda II. the rom information about it like this:
ROM: 1.66.07CHS
ROM date: 02/23/04
Radio: 1.15.00
Protocol: 1337.25
ExtRom: 1.66.225
and its Pocket PC version is 4.20.0(build 13252)
I have these questions: is it running wm2k3 or wm2k3se and how can I tell? is there any newer CHS rom available?(dopod's technical support is very poor.) can I use XDATools to backup its rom? and who actually built these roms? Microsoft or the device manufacturer?
Thanks for your help.
Hi, Zhoudan.
AFAIK.
You have a newest XDAII (Chinese version isn.t ??) with OS Windows Mobile 2003 Service Pack 1.
WM2003SE is Pocket PC version 4.21.
ROM built by Device Manufacturer (Vendor like O2, I-Mate, Qtekk or T-Mobile), sorry i do not know you vendor (Dopod ???), may be they are sub vendor from O2.
Microsoft is support OS only.
Thank's

Thanks a lot ajong,
I noticed some people here are talking about rom version 1.72 which seems to be wm2003se, is there a simplified chinese version available?

That's wrong. Until now there is no WM2003 SE available for the XDA II.....
HTH
Stefan
Rom 1.72
WM2003SE is not come out yet, wait untill the end of the year !!.
update to 1.72 rom, you will get WM2003sp2 with benefit increase battery lifetime, bluetooth customization, .....
afaik, not chinese version in 1.72 rom.
i heard O2 will make 1.72 rom which WM2003SE included, but i am not sure :?: :?:

Alex,
Use the attached tool 'ntrw.exe' to extract the ROM image in SD card:
1. Insert the SD card containing the ROM into a card reader
2. If the card reader drive is 'X:\' under your Windows, then run:
ntrw.exe read xda2_166_cht_image.nb1 x:
(where the 'xda2_166_cht_image.nb1' will be filename of the captured ROM, it can be whatever you like)
Then, you can find an extracted ROM file under the working directory.
I have PM you with my email address. Could you please send me the ROM file, please? Or, you might upload it to ftp.xda-developers.com and inform me.
Thanks a lot!
sorry...I already upgraded to se..& didn't backup the old rom

Hi.
I have uploaded into Uploads/CHT166, please help convert to
nbf files.
Cheers

Alex,
Thanks for your uploaded files VERY MUCH! I have upgraded my XDA II to 1.66 CHT successfully!
The zip file you uploaded is actually the ROM file (I used Hex Editor to open it). You can just rename it to any new name with extension 'nbf'. Then, you can flash it to any XDA II device. (Actually you can directly use that to flash)
For how to flash a XDA II, please refer to:

Once again, thank you very much!!

I understood, I just need to rename the CEROM to extension with nbf is that right. So what about ExtenRom. It is in zip format. How do I handle?

PS: I have tried your link but failure to register. Please advice
You can register the website as free, then you can see those upgrade steps. Actually, flashing with Ext ROM is much easier, and is also included in the thread.
Hope that may help.

I wanna FLASH! Come SEE

Hey guys, i'm a newbie to WM5 and need some quick tips.
I'm currently having problems with an unclear reception i'm using
ROM 1.18.255.3 (07/22/06)
Radio Verision 1.03.03.10
ExtROM 1.18.255.106
I'm thinking of upgrading the radio rom to 1.20 to see if this helps.
Advice needed:
Never Flashed, where do i find the ABC Instructions on how to backup my Original HTC TyTN Rom? Is the ROM available somewhere here to save me flashing it? I want to restore to normal if i'm not happy with the results.
Never Flashed, how do i safely upgrade the rom and which do you recommend for best radio and best overall performance
Sorry to ask such basic questions, but i'm terrified of stuffing this baby up.
Thanks in Advance

Your original rom is available here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
You have it there in shipped format ready to flash, so you don't need to backup it first.

i want you to explain or give me links to understand how to flash the rom. i don't know what the bootloader ist (maybe something for the startup of the device ) and the CID unlocker.... please help me, this is my first WM phone (i had before symbian)
plese tell me step by step, how to flash the rom without problems...
i'll be very, very grateful!!!
10x!
p.s. i can't understand why the avi files played so badly (stutters). my old phone (symbian) played them great and now... i hope, that the new rom will fix this

i recommend you to read the wiki first as it has all the info you need to start with. you'll find the answers to most of the questions you asked here. you can also search for the threads on that rom from south africa and the audio issues you mentioned.

great well come on board to wm5 arena!
10x, 10x, 10x!!! i successfully flashed the rom and works great!!!
one question: are they backup programs to save all my data (with settings and files) to the pc, because active sync saves only my document folder and i have to install all applications again?
thanks a lot!!!

A ROM upgrade may change the registary etc and restoring applications from a previous ROM is not recommended. However you can purchase 3rd party applications to backup files etc IE Sprite Backup there are a couple of others mentioned here in the forums.
As mentioned earlier Welcome Aboard!
10x, sorry but i have one more question
i want to unlock extrom (i have unlocked the past rom) but now i can't. i tryed all registry hacks and i can't unlock it. its unhidden, but not unlocked.

Hi, guys. I just used the raw2nbh to merge my raws (part01, part02) which was backed up from a chinaunicom customized diamond. And when I flashed the Ruu_signed.nbh into my diamond (customized by cmcc), It stoped at the first step. Anyone know why ? Just becuase the payload is small so as not to contain the imgfs and the xip ?
Many thanks.
So this program for back up if i get it right ?

This is for backup your original, stock rom. ONLY ROM!
Not for backup datas....
After reflash the reconstructed rom, you will get a clean device, like after hard-reset.
