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
I just put together the following pieces
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 have upgraded with http://www.qtek.nu/files/RUU172752WWE.zip and it works fine. However do not forget to first backup and then Hard reset the device before upgrading
HI GUYS I REALY CONFUSED WHAT IS THE DEFRENT BETWEEN THE ROM AND THE EXT ROM AND COULD I INSTALL ANY VERSION OF ROM AND EXT ROM TOGETHER .
OPS ONE MORE WHAT IS THE PURPOS OF THE RADIO
radio rom == embedded software for the gsm module
because it's not directly a part of windows
extented rom is just a collection of cab files which are installed after a hardreset
so yes if the cab files are programs which are supported by the os
then any ext rom can be used
good info

i have xda o2 mini s and it was Dutch lang. so i flashed to engish rom tnt 6
from the explain for mr its right , so now i want to flash arabic version
from i mate clup k-jam and thats the link ...
ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/K-JAM_Arabic_2160901_21609102_20710_ship.zip
BUT i mean i flash it with the way for G4 with that tool > START-sSPL.exe
and the other files < and i just add the nk.nbf to the other files than i have
arabic rom , so its work or not coz iam not sure , thx for the answer .
NO, don't do that!
With either SoftSPL or HardSPL, you can only flash ROMs that doesn't have IPL and SPL. The original factory ROM must have IPL and SPL inside. You must extract and reassembly nk.nbf with only OS.nb, otherwise your device will brick if you continue flashing.
1st thanks so much starkwong ...
2nd with which programe i can extract and reassembly nk.nbf with only OS.nb thx again your brother magdi .
Well,it depends which method you adopted first to flash wm6 TNT rom on your phone.If you applied HardSPL,then first you'll have to remove HardSPL,flash back to official Bootloaders (IPL/SPL), only after that you can revert back to the official k-jam rom.Coz HardSPL flashes patched Bootloaders(IPL/SPL),But if you did it with SoftSPL,there's no need to do anything as it reverses itself after the flash and reboot of the phone,the original Bootloaders(IPL/SPL) are back in originality.So just download the official rom and flash.
What IPL/SPL are displayed at the present in your phone ?
1st thx mr/mrs zabardast_1
2nd i still have the orginal IPL/SPL with g4 and iam sure from it coz i didnt change them coz i was use SoftSPL..
but basicly i have room from k jam club orginal arabic ( conating extened room , ipl , spl , radio ect .. ) so i wanted to make extract and reassembly nk.nbf with only OS.nb for the OS only with nk.nbf to use it with SoftSPL patch with that file > START-sSPL.exe < and the orginal is wm5 not 6 or tnt ...thx again your brother magdi
