ive got 1.72, but when i try that. it says country error.??
can that be resolved.. i dont mind loading 1.72.

---

the good news is that it seems you still have the boot loader working ... use ER2003 tool to modify the country code of the 1.72 ROM file ... or you can use the xda2nbftool.exe if you like the command line mode

---

thakns, but i have the 1.72 as an exe file. can i use er2003 to edit the file ??

Unpack the .exe file with winrar/winzip. And you're good to go.
Edit this file: ms_.nbf

managed to unpack it... now when i try to load 1.60 it says model id error & if i try to load 1.72 it says country id error.
what do i change in the ms_.nbf file ????
do i only change this file fields or all three??

---

i even removed the battery & checked the model ID. on my phone it says PH10B
i changed all the three files to PH10B ..
Now i get Connection Error.....
Now what???

---

now the error is ERROR 101... connection error.
(i'm loading 1.60)

---

also is it possible for me to do it via my emory card (i have a MMC32MB & 128MB)
if so, what file do i need to copy & then whats the procedure??

Question?
Why do you want to downgrade your phone? :shock:
For upgrade to 1.72:
1. Download i-mate 1.72 update and xda2nbftool
2. unpack that update to any directory on your harddrive
3. download script from this post to created directory (unpack it too)
4. copy xda2nbftool.exe to that directory
5. run provided script
6. insert XDA2 to cradle and then HimaUpgradeUt.exe
You will i-mate splash screen from i-mate though, but working device.

thanks for all the help. but im yet getting country ID error even after running the process .
this process basically converts the id to O2, in a batch dos mode... right??
then y is the problem yet there.
i wonder... most O2 XDA II come with 1.6 rom version. mine came with 1.66. could that mean its not O2 even though its written O2 on my phone? could it mean its T-Mobile or something??

---

can someone post a link or software that i need to put onto my MMC card & then use that to install the rom from the card inserted in the phone??

So, what's that problem? Can you run it?
Try to run it in command prompt... And if it writes any error, post it here...
Can you access the file system of your XDA2 from ActiveSync -> Explore?

---

now i managed to get the problem of Country error out of the way , but now im getting the ERROR 101 - Connection Error.
no i cannot browse any files & my active sync does not show connected.
what files do i need to copy paste onto my MMC card so that i can flash it by executing the files with the camera button & the MMC Card inserted??

---

im dowloading the NTRW & 1.72 NK.nb1 file. do i just copy & paste it on the mmc card & then instert the card into the phone & then press the camera button.. should this do the trick??

---

this is all that i have tried so far... yet no luck.
my phones originally from malaysia , its an O2 XDA II
i have the following rom with me. my bootloader is V1.06
1. RUU172800WWE_CDL_SKU1
2. XDA_IIupgrade_v16050
3. RUU172104wwe-t-mobile-uk
1. i removed the battery , dcoked the phone, connected the charger to the docking bay at the back...the red light on the phone lights up.... the bootloader screen shows up ina slightly distorted manner.
i then ran all the three roms as it is..without editing anthing. The error i get in all the three times is ERROR 101. CONNECTION ERROR. it tells me to check is usb is connected, charger is connected usb port is conencted & the phone is on. .......... everythings connected but obviously phone can only be in bootloader mode.
2. i put the battery back in dock the phone, the charger is yet connected to the back of the docking bay. .. i try all three installations withour extracting or editing as they are exe files..... now, all the three times i get COUNTRY ID ERROR OR MODEL ID ERROR.
3. when i edit the ones that give me model id error then i get CONNECTION ERROR AGAIN. (this is again with the battery in & charger plugged in)
i downloaded the NTRW & 1.72 NK.nb1 file. but the one that is available on this forum is corrupted. so i cannot extract it.
NTRW ive downloaded seperately. i need the nb1 file now. can someone post a working, no-corrupted image rom image file?
once i get the correct Rom.nb1 file... all i have to do it copy & paste the correct rom.nb1 & ntrw.exe file onto my MMC card & keep the battery in the phone & insert the MMC card & press the Camera button .... is that correct? i'm guessing that this will run the ntrw exe file & load (dump) the Rom.nb1 file onto the phone. is that correct?
please do let me know what else i can try & dowload a newer RUU or something. i think the best way is to SD flash the phone.
i dont even mind flashing it to a PPC2002 version & then upgrading it from there. if thats possible.
As far as the connection between the USB Docking Bay is concerned,...everytim i connect or disconnect the phone, i hear the familiar XP "TING" which shows that some USB thing is connected, but my active sync does not show that the phones connected, i guess that cause it got no rom in it.
Also when i edit the ms_ / NK / Rom files er2003 i get an error everytime i start the software, but i just press IGNORE & continue. i always get ROM successfully written & then the error pops up again but i keep pressing ignore. this works... but whats up with the CONNECTION ERROR. IF ITS NOT CONNECTING TO THE PHONE, HOW DOES IT KNOW THAT THE MODEL ID OR COUNTRY ID WRONG ???

---

Ok.
If any ROM update can detect your device (as we can see error messages COUNTRY ID ERROR or MODEL ID ERROR), there is hope, you can update your device.
If it's 1.72 ROM (that writes COUNTRY ID ERROR or MODEL ID ERROR), use the solution I send you few posts ago (unpacking, running batch script etc.)
When you updating, keep battery in your device and charger of device connected to cradle! Don't remove anything.
BTW: Don't use RUU172800WWE_CDL_SKU1 update, it just update only part of your device (ExtROM)!

thanks againa beecher. the problem is that once i use the patch & then run it. it does not show me the country id or model id error (for which i thank you) but then it says error connecting.
i have a USB to serial connector. should i try serial connection?? or maybe try it on another computer.

can anyone please tell me how do to a SD flash step by step with the Rom.nb1 file attachment of link.
