I have uploaded the new O2 UK 1.72 ROM Upgrades for the XDA II. I have zipped the EXE files up so that more people are able to download them . The file comments are taken from the respective PDF files.
First back up your device, as the upgrade will erase all data from main memory.
To use, unzip to a folder on your PC, then either run the EXE or, if you have Country ID errors and/or wish to change operator or language IDs, extract the EXE to a folder and follow the steps in my post here.
The passwords to use are 0x20040304, 0x20040305 and 0x20040306 for the NK.nbf, ms_.nbf and Radio_.nbf files respectively.
Extracting the file from the zip I get only an executable file. How do I extract from this executable file the following:
HimaClearJumpCode.exe
HimaGetDeviceData.exe
HimaUpgradeUt.exe
ms_.nbf
NK.nbf
Radio_.nbf
?
Thanks and regards
Use Winzip or Winrar to extract the files from the EXE.
and you can get the extended rom for blackberry here Xda_II_172181
along with the extra apps which include fax,zip and voice

Can't edit the extended rom using er2003edit. I used the password from DCS's previous posts "0x20040305", but I got the error "Error accessing image files!". Any ideas, how to tackle this?

That is the correct password. Make sure you are not using the auto-detect option in the file open dialog. Select the file type explicitly.

i extracted the extended rom with er2003edit. which cab file contains the blackberry software?
Possibly a silly question but... if i backup with sprite backup and then upgrade to the new ROM, can i still restore my backup without screwing anything up? Or do i need to reinstall all my software?
DCS: Thanks for making the download more convenient... You rock!!!
to be on the safe side i'd reinstall. i've just finally finished doing that, and have just created a sprite backup!

Ok, cool but did you reinstall your apps or did they all just work as before? E.g. tomtom etc ? Just wondering, sorry for the hassle

That's true we're not able to open this extended rom with the listed passwords on this forum can some1 check it out !?!?!?
Plus I need to upgrade to the WM2003 SE can't do it without knowing this password bcz I want to add files to it!!! plz help it's urgent.
I used the Extended rom unlocker and copied the files, what could it be the password for this extended rom to open it from er2003edit?
The passwords supplied DO work.
Now if anyone would SEARCH before ASK you would know that you have to select the TYPE of the ROM-file you want to open. The Auto-detect feature of ER2003Edit does not work.

Just a little info -I discovered at the weekend. I have been playing with the wm5 1.60a for a while and in orfder to save space in the storage i have installed a lot of programs on the extended_rom partition. I renamed this via the registry. Don't do this !as it really screws things up. You end up with two extended rom plabels in explorer and you can not rename them back. I have had to reinstall wm5 1.60a
I dont see any problem installing program in Extended ROM. All you have to make sure is you have to rename the Extended ROM BEFORE you install anything.
If you rename it AFTER then surely you are going to be screwed. Because the program installed in the extended ROM is registered in the registry as whatever name the extended ROM when the program are installed.
Can you please be more specific with your problem. If not I think your post is "misleading".
True
In summary you are correct. I should have renamed Extended_rom before installing programs to it.
However when you reset the machine the operating system creates a new folder called extended rom and puts the renamed extended rom data and programs in it.
The original renamed folder with the memory chip icon is also present in the directory view so the data appears twice.
odd to say the least
I dont have the problem that you described.
When I install WM5 v 1.60a. I immediately rename it to "STORAGE" then install program in it. I have been using version 1.60 for more than a week now and I have countless Soft Reset even Hard Reset(Persistent memory right?) and no double folder and anything.
Just follow my advice and rename it at the beginning. I am sure you wont have the problem.
Hi,
This has most likely been covered but can someone tell me how do I rename storage areas. I have WM2005 1.60a Rom Thanks to Buzz.... and I as defalt run out of storage memory really quick and my program memory is massive, I am really sorry if this has been cover so even if you could point me to where it is discussed.
Thanks Heaps.

How can I know if any ROM have or not IPL/SPL, and if its safe for G4 CID-lock phones?
Sorry if is an existing thread (I didn't found this question) and so sorry my terrible english.
Normally it will be mentioned in the rom release thread, however you can also check by pulling nk.nbf apart using typho5 then reassembling it and flashing.

How do you strip the nk.nbf of the ipl/spl? Do you use shelltool? Thanks

Extract the exe to get nk.nbf, then extract nk.nbf to check if it contains IPL/SPL.

Look for a program called 'typho5'. This is what you use to unpack nk.nbf
And how I extract the .exe without star the update process?

Well, I've searched the forum and I see where WM5 users have a hack to get BB on their Athena devices.
Is there a hack, or program mod to get BB on Athena with WM6? I've got a copy of the BB program. It tries to connect and something isn't allowing it.
Can someone point me in the right direction please? I need to get this working and I am a student and work full time. I'll be glad to contribute to your paypal fund. HELP.
I'm working on it. Stay tuned.
OK, got it working with AP Dual 3.0 by PK.
You have to do the following:
- Use a Hex-Editor and open the .nbh file from the update package
- Find the Text Unicode String: HTC-Athena and replace it with HTC-Hermes
- Find the follwing hex string:
1E3DA0E30D3083E3452FA0E30510A0E302 which means OS Version 5.2.1933
and replace it with the following hex-string:
4D3EA0E3063083E3452FA0E30510A0E302 which results in OS Version 5.2.1238
- Flash this to your Athena
- After boot use a registry editor and go to HKLM->System->Versions and change the vlue of Aku from .0.7.0 to .0.2.3
- Install Blackberry Connect Versionb 4.0.0.92 and go through the setup
- You're done, should work now
If some has webspace I can upload a fully modified version of the .nbh file.
Cheers
Is there a way to patch the official WM6 release from T-Mobile D? It comes as an exe File. No .nbh to patch.

I've tried to do a ROM dump this weekend without much success. Can you back up a little bit for some one that isn't as technically savvy as yourself?
Do I need to flash to the AP dual 3.0 by PK first? Then modify the hex strings. I'm not sure how to do the hex strings. How much web space do you need for the files? I'm not certain of the exact order to do this.
Thanks,

You can use winRAR or winZIP to extract the exe and then you get the .nbh.
However, to shorten things up I did the job for you and uploaded the ROM to RS: http://rapidshare.com/files/8420583....35.111.3_1.50.00.00_Ship-BB-Edition.rar.html
It is not tested but should work without any problem. If not, you're on your own, it's your risk to flash it.

Hi all, I'm trying to make Fido Call Display to work on my Device, and I found the solution here. However the solution requires me to cook the rilphone.dll file into the ROM that I'm using (NAFT's v2.3). I've never cooked a ROM before and I'm far from understanding the procedure, but I don't think it's that hard to add a file in a cooked ROM. Can you guys help me out with this?
Please show me how to add/replace rilphone.dll in NAFT's v2.3 ROM. Thank you.

Yes, the reason my method does not work is because the rilphone.dll is not signed with a trusted certificate as I stated..
Pretty much leaves the only option as cooking it in, unless you are already using a ROM with a modified nk.exe in XIP to disable certificate checking.. then you can just drag and drop rilphone.dll and reboot.. but since stock ROMs are not modified in such a way, you cook it in, as all files cooked into ROM are trusted..
Unfortunatly there is no way to modify XIP without cooking either.
If a ROM is unprotected (still has it's rgu's) - download a ROM kitchen for your device.. extract the rom of your choice.. replace rilphone.dll in \OEM\OEMDrivers.. then re-assemble the ROM.. no registry manipulation needed.
For the raphael ROM kitchen, name your ROM "RUU_Signed.nbh", put it in \BaseROM
Run RaphaelKitchen.bat
select "e" for extract, then "a" for "From RUU_Signed.nbh"
let it go through its motions, when it's done replace rilphone.dll in \OEM\OEMDrivers
again in RaphaelKitchen.bat select "cf" then "b"
click "BuildOS" tab
click "Load ROM" button
navigate to RaphaelKitcken folder (has subfolders OEM, ROM, SYS, etc), press ok
click green "Go" button
when done, close the window
again the kitchen will go through some motions, when it pops up XVI32 and says "Page Pool Changer" in the command prompt window simply close xvi32
now it should prompt to flash to your device.. and you're done

Ya, I tried it with NAFT's v2.3, but it seems that the file is protected... the file can't be read.
I'm not sure I understand, you tried to cook the file into ROM and it gave you an error about it being protected? Or do you mean you tried to copy the file to the device, and it wouldn't let you overwrite? If that's the case that's why I suggest renaming rilphone.dll to rilphone2.dll before you copy to device, and then change the registry to point to that.. that way you don't have to overwrite the file that's already on the device.

hmm, sounds like the ROM kitchen is having a problem handing the .nbh you fed it, try it with a stock nbh and see if it works..
the rom you are trying to extract may be protected from extraction.
Just to make sure, you are trying to extract the ruu_shipped.nbh in \baserom.. which is the ROM image, somewhere in the range of 50 to 200mb large..

I redownload the Rom and it seems to work now. I can finally extract it.
As for the rilphone.dll... do you have the right one for Rogers Display? and the one that will work for Fido as well?
edit: I successfully reflashed my ROM, but the display thing doesn't work. Beside replacing rilphone.dll is there any reg I need to change? (can you give me the right rilphone.dll file?

Sucessfully cooked in NaFT's v3.1, however it still doesn't work. It always show unknown Caller.
any help here would be much appreciated
