Hi,
I'd like to know how I'd go about creating a custom ROM for the XDA II containing this:
ROM O2 1.60
Radio Stack I-mate 1.72
thanks
P.S. Is it possible to make your own rom with any application you want through Windows?
Creat any combination of the ROM files (nk.nbf, ms_nbf, radio_.nbf) ... make sure they all have or modified to have the same Country and Language ID (use xda2nbftool.exe) ... the run HimaUpdateUT.exe
For additional s/w, you can modify the contents of the ms_.nbf file using ER2003Edit tool to add/delete any s/w cab files.
That's what I originally thought; however, I read somewhere that there might be slight API difference between the versions meaning that it would cause problems.
I wanted to use 1.60.00 ROM and 1.14 radio; but heard there is no difference between 1.10 and 1.14 radio.
I had a broken XDA II of a friend that its ROM was damaged by a wrong flashing ... I kept the RSU 1.10 as is and flashed only the ROM and ExtROM with 1.72 ... no problem so far
I'll give it a try on my spare XDA II

how can I flash only my radio stack? mine is 1.06. I want to upgrade it to 1.14. I already have the nbf file from iMate 1.72.162.
Thx alot.
Hi All,
please help me. I yesterday have only MDA1 and for flashing need to files RUU and RSU. And now i have (tomorow) new MDA2 and search new best FW for it. I hve only RUU172126WWE_imate.exe and no radio. Is need radio too? Or is all in one file (RUU172126WWE_imate.exe )? Where i can downaload new fw and radio? And best aplication for it. Meny fnx for reply and help.
arrgh...
in the exe everything is included... rom, ext-rom and radio...
Have fun
meny fnx. and is posible kitchen rom for new MDA2 or only for MDA1? Is posible, where? And Best of img for MDA is? And Where can I download?
Sorry for my very bad english.
There is no kitchen for XDA II ... you can modify the ext-rom as you need.
there are many posts here... but none answers the question of the topicstarter?
I have the same question. Is it possible to update only the radio stack and leave the rom and extended rom alone?
And if it is possible, will the update work without a cold reset?
thanks for your answers
calvin
radio stack only
yes you can upgrade the radio stack only. open the ROM upgrade with the radio stack you eant by unzipping it NOT running it. after unzipped, delete both the other nbf diles and leave only the radio stack nbf file in the directory. run himalaya upgrade from that directory. the first upgrade screen will tell you the radio version being replaced and not indicate any upgrade for the other two..
i have done this successfullly by leaving 1.72 alone and switching between 1.10, 1.12 and 1.14 radio stacks. a cold reboot is required, but a sprite backup of the 1.72 system with a 1.10 radio stack worked fine after restore to the 1.72 system with the 1.14 radio.
hope this helps.

OS 1.72.00WWE
Radio 1.17.00
ExtROM 1.72.901 eDsubSofT (Nevermind the "1.60.36" that is in the nbf header)
"CountryCode" = TMOBILE
All configured for T-Mobile NL

Hi Edsub,
I have just downloaded 1.72.901 of yours and try to upgrade my mda 2 from t-mob.
what i have is te last beta version of t-mob 1.72.wwe boot version is 1.02
when i try to upgrade it with your version i get the following error
ERROR 122: EXTENDED IMAGE FILE CHEKSUM ERROR
Can you tell me what is it I am doing wrong???
Thanks
Hello edsub,
Does the 1.17 Radio version works with the 1.72 Fra, or it needs a french 1.17 Radio ?
Is that possible to upgrade only the radio ?
You can use this radio with your device. No language specifics in it.
(as I was told)
The checksum suprises me.
I can open the ms_.nbf with er2003edit with the normal key.
can you?

Ok, and is it possible to install the 1.17 alone, without upgradeing all the device ?
Did you notice differences between 1.14 and 1.17 ?
You can upgrade every part separately from the others.
Just delete the NBF's you dont want to upgrade
Radio.nbf = Radio ROM
NK.nbf = OS ROM
MS_.nbf = ExtROM
Does this upgrade of the Radio only requires a hard-reset at the end ?
did a radio upgrade only
(removed the OS and Extended rom bkf files).
Device is dead (displays SERIAL after Cold Reboot).
Recommandation: don't do RADIO only, upgrade OS + Radio + Extended Rom whatever you're told.
btw, Extended Rom is corrupted.
I noticed the extROM was not OK.
Just uploaded a new archive wich should do the job ok.
@tde: oops, I just read that on the wiki-page
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/HimalayaRomFlashing?version=8
no problem edsub, I should have read it too before starting flashing... this is not my first upgrade so I have no real excuse
just back to my old imate 1.72WWE, it's been a while since I didn't flashed my device, this rom is really OK.
@tde, do you mean you have succesfully installed my roms or did you revert to your own?
edsub,
Are you saying that the extended rom you have developed is not ok?
Is this ROM save to load on MDA II, which has only had T-Mobile ROMs on it?
edsub, is this the ROM I requested?
Edsub
I re-flashed with the latest Rom from IMATE I had (1.72WWE), but upgraded the radio to 1.17 by the way.
Now I have to recreate a new extended ROM ...
@ Gratefuled: My ExtRom was ok, only the NBF file to be used to flash was corrupted. This means that in the first upload version of the upgrade archive (see first post inthis thread) you could simply NOT upgrade the extRom (upgrade utility refuses it).
The currently available RUU172901_eDsuBsofT.exe should be ok.
@tde: The ExtRom in the new version should be ok. The OS rom inside my archive is the same as your iMate OS rom (Qtek and iMate 1.72.00WWE OS roms are the same).
@all: Still waiting for comments on the newly uploaded archive
Home-cooked 1.72.901 upgrade package (1.72.00/1.17.00
@ Edsub,
Hi,
I have succesfuly flashed my mda 2 with your rom. It worked just fine i wil try this further and post my coments.
thanks,
keep up the good work.
I am a new qtek 2020 user.
Can i use this rom for the provider proximus here in belgium ?
Basically you can. But for the extended rom contents I would advise you to get in contact with others on Proximus for the specific network (ie GPRS) settings.
Also, you might not like the T-Mobile startup splash screen.
And: You HAVE to update the "country id" (=operator/device identifier)
.
What bootimage does it have?. Does it has the T-mobile BETA bootimage?. I don't mind the T-mobile image, just not the beta part
It has the 'normal'(ie not beta) T-Mobile boot-image.
Images were taken from 1.60.36 rom
Is this upgrade the Windows Mobile 2003 SE equivalent?
So when flashed it has the same software features as described for the Qtek 9090?
When flashed to Tmobile, can I still change the settings to telford? Has anyone don that already?
thanks
Hello,
I am looking for the latest Rom update For my Qtec 2020.
I Currently have 1.66 WWE
I need 1.72 WWE
Etended Rom 1.72.800 (i think)
And radio version 1.17 or later.
Can someone help me to upgrade my Hymalaya ?
Where Can I get these Files ?
So it is without Provider !
Thanx in advance.
The provider specific bits are in the ExtRom.
So in fact you can use any 1.72.00 upgrade file and delete the ms_.nbf file before proceding.
Afterwards you can fill your Extended Rom with the applications you want using the Extended Rom Unlock tools.
BTW: This is always a better solution because using a 'wrong' ExtRom could get you into CountryID trouble with the next upgrade.
There are numerous posts with 1.72.00 rom upgrades in it, but I :lol: would recomend my RUU172902WWE upgrade. It is documented what the files in the ExtRom all do, so its simple to skip the operator specific ones.
1.72WWE
Hello,
I have trouble finding the Rom you describe.
Do you have a download link for me ?
Thanx

I am showing no extended rom after upgrading to 2003se all my o2 software has disappeared and I have no camera software anymore. Did I do something wrong? How do you work with the HIMA_WM_2K3_EXTROM.RAR file and OperatorUpdate.bat file. I must be so new to this. Please somebody help I've spent hours on the forum, I just want my phone to be updated properly. Thanks
I suggest you read the thread on upgrading better. A lot of upgrade 'packages' do not contain an extROM because a lot of us just what to customise it anyway.
A cmplete package consists of 3 nbf files:
nk.nbf - the os
Radio.nbf - the radio rom
ms_.nbf - the extended rom
There is a good SE ExtROM in this thread (by me):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39938
Hello again,
I am a little green when it comes to extended rom.
I have referenced the page you suggested but how would I alter this to work with O2?
Also my bluetooth microphone doesn't work but the speaker does.
Is this also symptomatic of having no Ext ROM?
Thanks
Middo
ok, Mousey here on the forums had dumped the Orange UK ROM from his Hermes; he then used buildimgfs to create a proper imgfs image; after this, we then wrote this imgfs to the AKU3.3 ROM (using it as a shell essentially) and the result was a successful flash and his PDA was running Orange UK OS ROM, so it would seem that it IS possible to create images of dumped ROMs, but I would advise that you make sure the NB you create is bigger than needed so as not to fill it completely.
All Working Beautifully.
1. I Took The Part02.raw Of A Dumped ROM And Dumped All The Files Using "viewimgfs" from the imgfsTools
2. I Created imgfs_raw_data.bin File From A Random AKU 3.3 OS.nb File Using "aWaiter".
3. Then I Created imgfs_raw_data.bin From The Dumped Files Using "buildimgfs" from the imgfsTools, This Overwrites The imgfs_raw_data.bin File Created In The Previous Step.
4. I Then Merged My imgfs_raw_data.bin With The OS.nb From Step 2 File Using "aWaiter".
5. Then I Created The nbh File Using The Orange Splash Screens And The Romanian EXTROM Using dutty's Rom Koch
6. Finally I Added It To The CustomRUUUpdater Created By Olipro.
And Then Flashed It. Now I've Unlocked The ExtRom Im Going To Add In The UK Files And HardReset.

currently a shipped Orange UK ROM doesn't exist, and we don't have the capabilities to produce signed files... but since it seems your bootloader is intact, I would suggest you try the KITL trick described on the wiki

So you dumped a ROM from a phone and merged it with a shipped ROM that was AKU 3.3? Was the "phone ROM" AKU 3.3 also, and, did your default internet connections remain after flashing?
great stuff guys, you rock!
@jokinawa
When I Say Merged What I Mean Is I Use The Shell Of An AKU 3.3 OS.nb File. None Of The AKU3.3 Code Remains Its Just A Container For The Orange Rom To Live In. When You Flash It You Only Flash The Orange Part, Yes All My Settings Are Now The Original Orange Settings Whithout Having To Add Anything.
I Hope That Explains Things Better. I Added This Info To The Wiki.
Are There Any Other Providers Who Haven't Released An Original ROM? I May Create Installers If You Need Them.
Cheers

If I understand it correct... then this is great...
Does this solution mean that if I upgrade to xda live, i can get back to the original rom??
Does it mean that i can claim my waranty if the phone is broken (not software only hardware?)
T-mobile Netherlands did not bring out any ROM for the Tytn (VarioII)
What can I do to bring the ROM files to you?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry for the very very bad english... I speak Dutch!
I've Backed Up All The Hermes FTP Folder, But Sadly I Don't See A T-Mobile Netherland Dump, Theres 2 WWE Ones In There If You Want I'll Create An Installer Out Of That For You.

if you dumped the OS from your Hermes onto your hard-drive, then yes.
also, as I said before... remember to use as large an OS.nb as possible.
Currently I'm looking into modifying the size of the OS.nb itself; hopefully this can be done without generating any bad blocks (even if the attempt fails), but I'll get back to you on that.
Offtopic, but mousey_, why are you upper casing all words in your messages?
Olipro - superb work, keep it up, but get some sleep too!

Sleep? What's that?
... wait ...
Oh, I remember now...
Man I really miss it!
ViJay, why are you so cruel as to remind of of such a thing?

Im Having The Same Problem. And I Can't Find Out How To Fix It. When I Do I'll Let You Know.
What Dumped Rom Are You Using?
Cheers
rom dump..
Ok I'm going to dump my rom... can someone tell me, when I dump my ROM is it important to empty my device (hard reset??)... I dont wanna throw my private data on the streets
Or does the rom dumper only dump the rom and dont touch the active part of the device?
I have dumped my ROM and now??
I did the rom dump before i did the upgrade to xda live 2
Olipro can you help me to create a dutch T-mobile recover ROM?
I do not really know how that works (Instructions would be nice!), but as far as i understand that, you can read out the rom from the Hermes to do a backup eg. for XDALive?
T-Mobile Germany even has no shipped rom! Would be nice to construct it!
