Help Needed : Flashing the ROM of a damaged Dopod 696 - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development

I really need assistance on this.
My company is trying to deploy Pocket PCs to users in China. Unfortunately, the XDA 2 (Dopod 696) in China is only available in Chinese.
Dopod offered to flash the Dopod 696 to English for us unfortunately something went wrong and the Dopod 696 that we have is flaky i.e. sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't work. Dopod is saying this is out of their hands now.
I am going to flash the ROM again - hopefully to fix it.
I would appreciate if there are any detail instructions on how to flash the ROM. I am thinking of flashing the ROM to the ROM that has the Blackberry client.
Thanks.

Maybe I can help u how to do it. Maybe the original Dopod 696 rom can not flash into ur O2 directly, I can help u modify this rom to fit ur O2 XDA, pls contact me if u want. my MSN: [email protected]
many thanks, I have added you to my MSN contact list, would you please chat with me...
just now, I flash the dopod 696 rom directly into my XDA II, but occur errors at the 99%....
my god.
I need help.
and there is little strange...please look at my DeviceData.txt file.
there are no devicetype, operator and language strings in the DeviceData.txt file
My device is UK O2 XDA II
Hi Oneall,
Since u hv already flash the Dopod ROM into ur XDAII-- even if some error occured. How about ur O2? Could it start-up normally?
And, could u pls tell me how u flash it? By using the flash-tool or the Bootloader?
when I failed to flash dopod 696 to my UK O2 XDA II. I can not start my xda ii...SO I go back, get the t-mobile 1.6 Rom and flash it to my crashed XDA II...and OK, it works.....but all the settings are the T-Mobile.....(GPRS, wallpaper, etc)
I use the HimaUpgradeUt.exe, HimaClearJumpCode.exe and HimaGetDeviceData.exe to flash my rom....It's very easy to flash a rom...
you can get the update files below:
you put them into one folder and copy your nk.nbf into the same folder.
I know why it always stop at 99%...
the dopod rom .nbf file is not the correct one... the one I got is 31,475kb
but the right one should be 32,257kb
so, in other words, I still need a new dopod 696 rom
Hi, Oneall
I am in USA, but here the MDA2 is so expensive, i want to buy xda2 through ebay from a uk guy. what's your price for that?
BTW, have you got the correct Dopoda696 rom.
would you like to share with me?
thanks
"you want to buy xda2 through ebay from a uk guy.what's your price for that"
what does it mean? Does you mean you buy the xda ii from ebay.co.uk and post it to me, then I post the xda ii directly to you???
or you buy the xda ii with the contract, then i pay the monthly fee and you get the handset....????
"what's your price for that"
I am puzzled, because i dont sell the xda ii why i have MY price???
If you want me to help you buy the xda ii in UK, no problem. I can help you...(bcz, I think you are a chinese guy, otherwise, you will not care the dopod 696 rom )
I am trying to get the correct Dopoda696 rom, but still not yet.
If I get the dopod 696 rom, sharing the rom is not a piece of work.
because, I am not the profiteer. I will never do the thing that benefiting from the rom.
sorry for confusing you
i am going to buy xda2 from a UK guy through ebay.
i guess you have already had a xda2. i would like to know how much you paid for yours
thanks
140pounds for handsets.
and I should choose a o2 tariff that
first 4 months I will pay 45pounds per month, then after 4 month I can change me tarrif to the cheapest one which should cost me 15pounds per month.
modifying language settings of XDA II
I've been reading your interesting flashing thread.
I wonder how do they manufacture different language ROMs like German, Chinese and also English for that matter Could it be that we are never going to see those tools specifically made for this job..
I'd really like to modify my XDA II to be different language eg. Finnish which is my native language. I suppose it would require dumping the ROM to harddisk and open it with hexeditor and then translate all possible findings to my or your language. Some job if ROM is 34MB in size..
Does one have to modify CRC's too when messing with the interiors of ROM?
I suppose it is enough if only main characteristics of OS's GUI (including Pocket Outlook) are translated. There's no need for seldomly used parts to be translated.
Help from forum users appreciated. Like getting me on the right track.
Thanks.

English user wants chinese additions

Hi everybody. I've got two Himalayas. One I sucessfully flashed with the WWE O2 rom at some point in the past, and another I just bought yesterday. That one is a dopod 696, and I'd like to fuse the two roms after a fashion. I want the machine to be english, but want to swipe the chinese language abilities of the dopod (it's chinese input rocks). I tried the grab_it method - which will grab the O2 rom, but it evidently doesn't like the chinese name of the sd card on the dopod.
Anyways, I've been looking around here, and lots of the tools seem to all be for the wallaby. What gives? Haven't any of the tools been upgraded for Himalaya? How do you guys cook your roms/extract the parts/combine/reflash? The info is all over the place in bits and pieces!
Thanks. Amazing what y'all do.
PS. I'd be more than happy to post the dopod rom on my own server space if someone can clue me in...

Pls help Dopod CHT Hong Kong!

Hi
My Dad just returned from HK with a brand new device, but unfortunately, he didn't realise it was in Chinese. He tried to upgrade it to the WWE ROM, but it is now stuck in the "rainbow" screen and says USB or serial.
Searched the forums, but we're not sure how to get it back to the working Chinese version at the very least! Very disappointed- pls help!
first try to make a reset if it doesn't work make a hard reset or flash it with a dopod cht rom.
Kinda fixed
Thank God, with all the above help, I managed to at least get it back to the Chinese ROM. There doesn't appear to be any ROMs (English or otherwise) located on Dopod's HK website. I have emailed support and will see whether I get a reply.
IMEI-Check it to super CID. Do all flashing with no sim/sd in.
Then you can flash any Rom, including wm6.

Will this fix all my problems, ie. let me flash to the WWE from the CHT version??
Any future problems with the device if I unlock my U1000? This would be great if people could share their experiences. There are lots of threads here about changing language, but no one seems to have tried this...

Just go ahead and do it. Mine was Ameo Dutch. After Imei-check unlock I now have WWE or any rom I want. What future problems are you imagining?
I'm just thinking about the best thing for me to do.
Assuming Dopod doesn't do it for free (I doubt they will since it was our error), I might just go ahead and do it.
I just want to be in a position to take advantage of the WM6 upgrade whenever that is available. At this stage, with the CHT ROM, does it mean that if I do nothing and upgrade to the official WM6 when it is available, I will only be able to get the Chinese version?
Thanks

WM 6.0 ROM needed for HTC Hermes (AT&T 8525)

Since HTC removed the WM 6.0 upgrade from their Web site last month, I am unable to locate it anywhere.
Can anyone offer a link to a download site for the OEM version of WM 6.0?
Alternately, please email me a copy, if possible.
Thanks for your help!

For safety's sake, flash Hard SPL V7 1st. This will offer some protection so you won't end up with a brick.
After you install Hard SPL you are able to flash ANY Hermes rom on this (or any other) site. Just make sure its for the Hermes though.
Official WM 6.0 norwegian ROM

No problem at all. Except this European WWE does not allow Chinese Display fonts. Don't know why yet. I didn't come across that problem before. I asked HTC, the tech guy named Philp refused to help quoting company policy that I either to log in HTC in Europe and he knew they couldn't help. He said he will not help Dopod phone either. These turkeys own Dopod and made phone for Dopod and Dopod charged nearly double for that brand name in China. Why they draw such stupid lines among themselves I really don't know.

Could you please explain what those files are and if there is a way already to use them for swapping with the stock rom version? Thanks
That board here seems mighty, but somehow most people are so used to know a lot about what can be done, that it is a bit difficult to get into it, when you are new to all that.
The first one maybe an Italian ROM for Iolite.
The Second on is WWE Europe ROM for Iolite which is what I am using for about a month now.
Connect an USB cable from your PC to the phone and run the file. It will overwrite your phone with the WWE Europe ROM.
Thanks a lot
As far as I understand, it won't be possible when my Iolite is CID-locked, and it will flash if it is not.
But in general, how big is the chance that I might end up with a brick and if so, is there a way to recover it?

Normally, it either flashes or comes back with an error message and no harm done. Just don't unplug the cable while things are going on. The program will check for success and if not it will show you how to do recovery.
Hi, what languages contains the WWE Europe ROM please?
Thank you
WWE is English ROM.
It does not matter it is Europe, Asia or U.S.A. I guess WWE stands for World Wide English. The differences I found usually in the customization especially the "Connection Setup". Each country has different service providers. For example, you will find AT&T in U.S.A. ROM. Asia one will have HongKong operator, Malaysia...
Sometimes they overlap.
Difference are minor. But they do show with different ROM version numbers.

Dears, I've got the same problem and my phone was bought in Tianjin, China with Dopod ROM preinstalled.

WWE (Europe) without HardSPL
PLEASE ADVICE !!!
I have a question to advanced lolite users:
I have German ROM on my xda Guide (lolite).
Can I replace this rom by "HTC Iolite - 1.09.401.3 - WWE (Europe)" provided by udk without HardSPL?
Can I just connect my phone via Windows Mobile Device Center and run "RUU_Iolite_HTC_Europe_1.09.401.3_Radio_Sign_12.41 .30.16_0.41.30.12_Ship.exe" ROM provided by udk without installing Hard SPL first?
Anyone tried this soulution?
Please advice!
Many thanks in advance for the answer!
