Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition Version 4.21.1088 (Build 14132)
O2 Xda IIs Asian Extended ROM plus Xda IIx Extended Extended ROM
First off I'd like to say that some of you are pathetic to the core. Having said that I also like to add that I believe I can throw any amount of insults and yet the same people will still download in spite of. This brings us back to my first point.
I've posted the M.O. on extracting the Extended ROM from the Xda IIs but no one bothered to even try. Sad is that Xda IIs has been sold out of stock twice or more and yet zero Asian O2 Xda IIs owners came forward.
It doesn't matter anyway. End of story.
RE
Hi Dr. Stein!
Thank you for your postings.
I don't own an IIs so I really look forward to such postings to have an enhanced experience.
Thank you again.
RE
Hi Dr. Stein!
One question.
Whats the difference between the 2 EXT ROMs? Care to elaborate whats added/removed?
Thanks
:roll:
RE
Ooooops! Sorry!
The 1st file is not the EXT ROM.
Umm, first of all I'd like to thank you for providing your ROMs to us. In my case, it's not like I'm not putting an effort in looking for an Asian XDAIIs Extended ROM. But the people that I know, none of them owns an XDAIIs. So I guess you should try to understand that not all people are as fortunate as you are to have a friend that owns an XDAIIs and allows you to copy files off it ... Try not to be bitter and just remember that we are just trying to help each other out here ... Thanks again, doc.
Thanks Dr. Stein! I hope my mongrel 2003SE will now begin to look like an 02 after im done customizing.
Apology
I sincerely apologize for my outburst. It was wrong for me to take on this forum as my wrath does not belong here.
And now for the business proper.
The first zip file contains the Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition Version 4.21.1088 (Build 14132) and Radio 1.18.00 and not Xda IIs ROM and Radio as this has not yet been exploited.
The second is the O2 Xda IIs Asian Extended ROM plus Xda IIx Extended Extended ROM which has two folders carrying CABs to be extracted to the folders named.
Dr.Stein
Trying to irritate you again Is it only for XDAIIs or for XDAII also
First file is it similar to dcs or mystery man's version. I mean is
OS ROM :2.06
or
OS ROM : 2.02t1
or
totally different?
. I am asking this as I am on dialup connection and it takes hours to download 17MB here
RE
Hi Dr. Stein!
Just to confirm.
In order to perform the upgrade I'll have to dump all the EXT ROM files (from the 2 folders) into the same folder as the Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition Version 4.21.1088 (Build 14132) and Radio 1.18.00 and then run HimaUpgradeUT, right?
2nd question - If I only need S'pore and Malaysia telcos I'll have to edit the AutoConfig file by deleting all other unwanted telcos and re-save it again, correct?
:roll:
You need not to reflash ur device. I have my extended ROM unlocked so I just deleted everything from extended rom and filled it with the one dr. has provided. Did a hard reset and everything came alive. I've to say this extended rom is great except camera doesn't seem to work. I recon if i remove Camera_Patch_10080401.sa.CAB from config. txt, things should be fine with camera as well.
Don't forget to remove TPDISABLE.EXE from config.txt otherwise u won't be able to interact with SE warning msg. Enjoy!

Negative.
Extract the contents of Extended ROM and Storage folders to the respective named folders existing in your Xda II.
Now run the HimaUpgradeUT.exe from the WM2003SE Xda IIx folder.

Provided the Xda II has already been flashed with WM2003SE ROM and Radio ROM of your choice.
The camera patch is needed for SE customization. Your camera didn't work probably because you did not install the CABs from the Storage folder I have included as an Extended Extended ROM. If you go through the Config.txt you will know what I am talking about.
RE
Hi rehman!
I've the EXT ROM 'unlockextrom' file on my O2. Upon tapping it amessgae prompts out which says

How to unlock the EXT ROM?
Another question is if I only need S'pore and Malaysia telcos I'll have to edit the AutoConfig file by deleting all other unwanted telcos entries and re-save it again, correct?

Hi Dr Stein!
I'm getting somewhere now. Thanks for your guidance as I'm able to see my EXT ROM files now on my O2.
BTW, I could not get the screen of the debug you posted although I could get it from the Settings -> Menus
How to do it?

I don't really get you. You could get the debugscreen from Settings -> Menus - where?
Yes Dr. I did copy files in storage folder as well. All those cabs were also installed during extended rom setup as they're mentioed in config.txt file. My problem is that camera applicatin opens but viewfinder doesn't seem to work. Camea version is 2.21 (Build 17576).
Strange
Why does mine show Version 2.50 (Build 15954)?
Are you certain you installed the 2 Camera CABs from the Storage folder?
I'm sure because all other storage apps like extended rom unlocker, view, intellidial and intellipad are installed. I wonder what went wrong with the camera

I tried the T-Mobile 1.60 rom on my O2 xda2.
It works perfectly with my xda2.
However, I found some interest thing on the new rom upgrade process
1. It seems XDA2 (or HTC Himalaya) use one single program for RAIDO / Extended Rom / OS Rom update. It seems Radio upgrade failure may no longer case device failure, because the RADIO upgrade process is same as OS upgrade process, and not required to copy the whole software into the RAM to upgrade.
2. Sinces some of us (and my XDA2) report that the exteneded rom is READ ONLY, but the upgrade program can update the extended rom. That means the Exteneded rom is not REALLY read only, but somewhere locked it. More funny is , it is seems the Main OS rom is not controlling the exteneded rom is locked or not, because after I updated the extended rom, it is still locked.
3. If O2 XDA2 can use T-Mobile MDA2 update, it seems the upgrade software no longer check the header of the device (At lease this version won't). I think we can use it to change device's language. However I don't know how to dump the rom in .nbf format, is that possible to convert the nb1 format to nbf format?
Thanks.
Hi killercheung...
where are you find the 1.60 rom ?
and the radio what version is ?
Can you put it in my ftp pls ?
it's always on

Thanks in advance

killercheung, thanks for that... I'm still deciding whether to apply the new rom to my UK XDA II.... is the language of the rom netherlands? or can I have it all in english as it is with the normal O2 rom?
Do we lose anything from the o2 rom/extended rom ?
I'm wondering if O2 do bring an upgrade out if we'll be able to still use it if we've tried this t-mobile 1.60 rom.... hmmmmm
hmmm decisions decisions... do you think its much better than the current o2 rom?
Now that I have moved to the 1.60 rom, I must say there's ONE thing I DO miss ....
My O2 BUBBLES ARE GONE FROM MY ASIAN O2.
(I obviously knew this could happen, but thought I'd made a backup of my extended ROM (I DID, but I accidentally tossed it a few days ago) . Who would be so kind as to send me a copy of the O2.cab file from the extended rom, so that I can put the bubbles back into my dialer ...)

Hi Killercheung,
You've missed out something ... the EXE file can be unzipped (using Winrar) ... you will then see the same upgrade.exe files, nbf files (3 of them) ... you can then deleted the ms_.nbf so that only the CORE ROM and RADIO is updated, and keep all O2 EXTENDED_ROM content untouch.
You can also use the same method to upgrade to Chinese ...

Good news about the T-Mobile ROM. I don't know what they have fixed/patched, but my O2 XDA II ROM never bothered to disconnect the GPRS connection after having spent some time online, not after surfing, not after checking e-mail. Mind you the T-moblile ROM doesn't either, except ....... when checking e-mail, which in my eyes is quite important.
So now I can go back to have my XDA check my e-mail once per hour, knowing that it will disconnect automatically.

Hi guys,
I did the update to rom 1.60 and it is great. I have an Imate Pocet PC. the new rom is excellent but with one sad thing and that is if the device goes in standby mode the GPRS connection if you are connected to the internet goes off as well :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: i there a fix to this.

For NBF, you can use XDAtools to capture the Chinese ROM, I did once with the English ROM and the file size is exactly the same as the one in 1.60 update. So there should have no missing bytes in the saved file.
For the EXTENDED_ROM, no idea how to save in NBF format ..
I have installed the update but TomTom doesnt see the serial ports 4/5.

Hi, What do you think about the update? It´s mutch better than before?

yikes...... did that happen on the old rom as well or did gprs stay connected on the original rom?
I hate the way gprs disconnects on devices.. it's supposed to be always on, and I'd really prefer if it stayed on during suspend etc so that MSN could stay connected, notifying me when I got a message....
Email checking likewise, I'd prefer gprs remained always connected and it'd check email in the background whether off or on, notifying me when it got a new mail.
I can't check the behaviour of my xda II since Im on "roaming" at the moment in another country so no gprs
but can anyone say for sure which way the old vs new rom work in this regard?
I did some research on the upgrade process, and fileformats:

Earlier, I installed unofficial T-Mobile 1.6 rom on my i-mate. I just recenlty tried installing the official i-mate update and there is a country code. I don't have the old rom to revert to. Can anyone help. I know I would have to at the least get a copy of the old rom and then install it into the i-mate. Again, since I don't have a backup of the old one, I would need info on how to get one first.
The T-Mobile unofficial one works fine. I just wanted to go back to always on gprs etc. that the i-mate update has. If not, I guess I will have to wait until the rom kitchen is up and running for this unit. :lol:

I think you better try it using bootloader way, because t-mobile protect it's update, it happen in XDAI if you update your XDA to 4.16 and you want to go back to 4.11 then you have to update it using bootloader to be able to go back from the previous one 4.11 8) hope this help you...opps correction please there is no bootloader on XDA II, there is bootloader but in different way, I think if you copy your old nbf to sd using xdatools and go to bootloader by using power+anydirection+ reset it will ask to download the nbf to you device... hmmm if this doesn't work you have to look for another way.
T-Mobile 1.60 BUGGY Rom - Want to go back to iMate ROM
Folks,
I'm in the same position - Can someone please outline the success they've had going back from the T-Mobile 1.60 ROM to Imate ROM 1.5283??
Any thoughts would be great... (I'm guessing the boot loader using an SD card may work but would love to hear of any new tricks that people have learned on this
Cheers

I'll try to help.
Where can the ROM be downloaded, so I can have a look at it.

T-Mobile Back to iMate ROM
Thanks
I've uploaded the new iMate ROM image to:
http://www.c1au.com/iMatePDAROMS/ruu15283.zip
The somewhat flakey T-Mobile 1.6.006 ROM (which I'm trying to get away from is at
http://www.c1au.com/iMatePDAROMS/TMobile160.zip
Of course, with the different operator / country codes, it's not just a matter of running the .EXE - It'll need to involve the boot loader of a little hex editing of the header, I'm guessing (just guessing?!)
The new iMate ROM is meant to be the best bet around at the moment and my device is an iMate in the first place. The only reason why I installed the T-Mobile one was to get the Bluetooth GPS fix (which works well) - BUT so many other things aren't as stable!!
The new iMate ROM is meant to have the BT GPS fix as well.
Any help, much appreciated!
Cheers

All the best - Have a great weekend.
Andy
OK, made some time to create a batch file to upgrade.
Works only for upgrade from T-Mobile 1.60.06 NL to I-mate 1.53.82.
1. Download the ROM image ruu15283.zip from the site in this posting
2. Unzip the file with Winzip
3. You now get a file called ruu15283wwwe_cdl.exe
3. Extract this file with Winzip to a new folder
4. Extract the attached file to the same folder
5. Start the conversion and upgrade by double-clicking convert.bat
Since I'm out till Sunday, I can't check my mail to respond to problems.
Enjoy!
Can the first person brave enough to try this please confirm success.
IT WORKS!!
Jes - You're a scholar and a gentleman!!

Nah, I'm not a good programmer, I just know how to write bachfiles and how to combine things to get the disered result.
Thanks has to go to Isme. He knows a lot about the internal working of the XDA II, the ROMS and the bootloader process.
He wrote the great tool used to change the file headers, so you can update your machine with a ROM of a different brand.
He's a good programmer!
If somebody needs a mod to upgrade from another ROM version, please let me know.
And if you want to do something back, please donate to the people who keep this nice forum up and running.
It worked. For those who want to get back onto the official path from unofficial t-mobile this is an automated way to do it. Thanks...Jon
Backing Up XDA2 ROM+CE
I'm a new XDA2 iMate user, want to back up my ROM+CE before I screw things up. I did this on my XDA1 (power + software reset, then press contact button I think). Anyway, I always had my ROM+CE backed up to a 64M SD card ... just in case.
I've searched these forums for such a procedure for XDA2 ... no luck.
What is the process, if any, to backup the XDA2's ROM+CE image to SD card?
Appreciate any help,
Craig
I think it's possible with the xda2dmp tool, but you better ask Itsme, he wrote it.
You can find it on this site: http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/xda-ii.html

Hi Jos ,
I tried it and it WORKS!!!!!!!!!! You are a brilliant guy !!!
I owe you one!!
My friend wants to install the T-Mobile Update because the windows CE version on the T-mobile ROM is newer than that of the imate. Any magic patches that can be done.

Difference between i-mate 1.52.00WWE ROM and i-mate 1.53.82
Can anybody outline the differences between the 1.52.00 and the 1.53.82 official i-mate ROMs?
I'm trying to ascertain whether I have sufficient incentive to upgrade (given the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality I subscribe to in my old age!).
Sufficient incentive might be;
:arrow: Faster GPRS
:arrow: Improved battery life
:arrow: Improved all-round performance.
Thanks guys.

Hi Paul
Looks like i did the same, I upgraded to the 1.60 and lost the o2 bits, so hopefully if we replace our extended roms with the files i pull off a new XDA2 later, and then hard reset we should have Ver 1.60 with the o2 settings

10 mins, and they will be ready
Here we go, here are the extended rom files from a proper UK o2 XDA-2
all i have done is the T-mobile 1.6 upgrade, then made the extended rom vissible and deleted the files, then replaced with this set in the zip file, then hard reset, and all is fine
John
Cool stuff you are the man
thanks for your help
Paul there is one problem, let me try and explaine.
when i first instaled the T-Mobile Dutch rom, as per instruction on here i removed the radio part and installed the rom without radio (hopeing to keep the original uk o2 stuf) but the upgrade worked fine apart from the phone aerial indicator would not show any service just a "!" nest to it, but altho you could not make calls you could still make a GPRS connection, and after you ended that the signal would show and the you make calls as normal
but ater a soft rest you needed to do the connect gprs first to get it work for voice calls, so as this was poxy i just re did the full t-mobile complete rom upgrade after this the phone worked just as it should, but of corse i lost the UK o2 bits and connection details i needed
so maybe as we now have newer roms we may need some of the t-mobile radio parts and our UK o2 parts as well,
i will mess around with it and let you know
is there anyone else with any ideas

Ok will hang on before i kill my phone
ok here we go
first of all i cleared out all the files in the extended rom and left it empty
then i hard rest
and entered the regional stuff and got a basic xda running
then i put the files from the extended rom on a SD card
and from the file manager i ran the following cabs ONLY....
and in this order
CallerID_wwe.sa
Camera_wwe.sa
clearview_wwe.sa
Midi.sa
MMS_WWE.sa
msmsgs8
o2_AP_UK.sa
Version.sa
xmailinstaller2003bla bla bla
o2_activeUI (make sure its not the o2_activeUI_eng setup)
after this enter your preferance, it resets and your are done
I do know you can sdeit the config in the extended rom to run just the cabs you need but i will do that later.
at least this way UK people who have lost the perment GPRS after upgrading and the UK setting can have them all back
please let me know if this also works 100% fine for other people as well
(Oh by the way its the cab "OEM_WWE.sa" that makes the phone show no service) so what ever you do dont click this cab

Hi John
That was fine well done that man
My XDAII is now in full working order with 1.6 rom and my UK O2 setting and programs
Well Done
In the MMS software on the XDA II O2 UK can someone describe what the setting under Options are please?
I deleted by mistake the O2 server or whatever it is called and its setting up.
Can someone help and tell me what settings they have?
Thank you.

Here we go, here are the extended rom files from a proper UK o2 XDA-2
all i have done is the T-mobile 1.6 upgrade, then made the extended rom vissible and deleted the files, then replaced with this set in the zip file, then hard reset, and all is fine

Hi there !
I have upgraded to 1.60 but my extended ROM, whilst visible, can't be altered as it appears to be locked.......how did you get around that ??
regards
Hi
I just run this tool and it made it visable and not locked
let me know if it works for you, you need to soft reaset after running the cab
John
I just uploaded Extended Rom files to FTP.
Also rar archive attached to this msg.
How did you unlock the extended rom. Could you please post the tool that you used to gain access.
Thank you,
Mike
I have been decrypted ms_.nbf and extrracted these files.
what is thwe password to decrypt ms_.nbf for XDA IIi ?
It's really amazing that you found it.
Thank a lot
The O2UK_connectionsettings cab is in config.txt but the cab is missing. Is this intentional?
Surprise !!!
Caller_ID_Alpine_Generic_WWE_RC16.CAB = Caller_ID_Magician_Generic_WWE_RC13.CAB at ExtROM Qtek 1.05.116.
(Caller_ID Ver. 1.20 build 18567)
also
SmartDialling ver. 1.0 build 18076
PhonePad ver. 1.0 build 18567
------
Encryption method is changed.... there is no password.
I can only decrypt these files.... i can not encrypt them back.
many thanks
many thanks ... genious
thanks a lot really nice one specially:
SmartDialling ver. 1.0 build 18076
PhonePad ver. 1.0 build 18567
dont use the patch.cab file it is specifically meant for XDA IIi else you will have to hard reset your device.

Can we install these extend rom, particularly the bt3900 to xdaII.
I am using xdaII, rom version 1.66.00 WWE
Man this Network lock sucks
Hi there all. I just got an XDAIIi from my sis in the UK. How ever after hours and hours of going through the forum I realised that the only way to unlock my PDA is through imei check. I hope that there is a program on the way to unlock them same as the XDA 2. Cheers
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.
Cheers

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!
V
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?

i must say that you are amazing.you did the unexpected:you gave life to dumped roms.WAY TO GO MATE....
thanks in advance.
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!
