I've jest received from CE Communication service (O2 and T-Mobile official repair center) my MDAII and it has a new ROM:
ROM-Vers. 1.72.01GER
ROM-Date: 03/16/04
Radio-Vers. 1.17
Prot. vers. 1337.28
ExtROM-Vers. 1.72.170
Only improvement is the new Radio, and no trufax in the ExtRom.
Ciao.

are you sure that 1.72 is your radio version? ( and you didn't mix it up with your os version ? )
latest I've seen is 1.14.

---

Yes I did mix it up with os version, the new radio v. is 1.17
Thanks to notice me the mistake!

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/HimalayaHowtoCopyRom
hope you understand it. if not, tell me. I may create a simple tool for you to just copy the rom using only your xda.

Radio 1.17 sdradio.img
Have I done it well ?
My question now is how to do the reverse, how to write it back.
I've tried:
psdwrite -3 0 0x03400000 sdradio.img
also: psdwrite sdradio.img
but without "effects"
It has been a my pleasure!
Ciao.
itsme, you are always very helpful!

Re: Setup radio ver.1.17
I've successfully installed 1.17. I've made a Radio_.nbf file so you can use it in normal upgrade process, it is attached.
Use this file at your own risk, backup your ROM to SD before installing!!!

Alrighty Bro thanks for the prompt reply.
Guess I will wait until my Xda II's next hard reset or a newer O2 ROM or WM2003SE - whichever comes first.

thanks gibbo for the rom, andthanks to mamaich for posting the nbf.
for those interested, this is how to convert the sd-image to an nbf:
- extract the raw-image from the sd-image
Code:
perl sdtool.pl -ri sdradio.img -wm bin
this will write a file named bin-60000000.nb
- create an empty file of exactly 1 Mbyte:
Code:
dd if=/dev/null of=1m.bin bs=1M seek=1
- create a file of exactly 64 bytes, containing only dashes, by first typing 64 dashes into a file, and then truncating the CRLF at the end with:
Code:
dd if=/dev/null of=64.bin bs=64 seek=1
- then concatenate all together with:
Code:
copy /b 64.bin + bin-60000000.nb + 1m.bin radio_.nba
- then set the header parameters with:
Code:
xda2nbftool -sd PH10 -so Qtek -sl WWE -sv 1.17.00 radio_.nba
- then encrypt it for the upgrade tool with:
Code:
xda2nbftool -x Radio_.nba Radio_.nbf 0x20040306
- dd can be found in cygwin
- sdtool is part of the xda-developers romtools and can be found here
- xda2nbftool can be found here.

extract the raw-image
itsme you're unsurpassable one!
Good news, a new MDAIII is comming to me, but would it be possible do the same as with XDAII/MDAII (extract the image from the device, etc.)?
My be is a stupid question, inasmuch as we still do not have it!
