Confused.. which is the latest/Best ROM for a Aust XDAII? - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development

Hi All..
I'm a bit confused.. There are so many ROM's floating around....
I'm currently using "O2 XDA II->WM2003SE->Sin->Merged->v1.0" which suits my Aust O2 XDAII
I have reinstalled Bluetoothtools and not installed the email section to avoid the mail attachment problems.
Is there a better ROM out there than the one I am currently using?
ROM image is based on version: 2.06.00WWE (ver 4.21.1088 build 14132)
Radio image is version: 1.18.00
Extended ROM image is a variance of version 2.06.100a (Sin.Merged.v1.0)
Thanks....

Lots of views... but no replies...

Why don't you make your own? there's enough info in this forum to show you how!

You already have the best version...
All you need is to change your EXT_ROM. The one you are using is based on the Restored file (from BackUp)...
No need to re-flash your device, just delete all files from your Extended ROM. Extract files from any ms_.nbf files then copy these files in your EXT_ROM including the config.txt..
If you dont know how to extract then use the search button (header above) looking for ROM Image Editor. You will find the tools and the instruction HOW TO...
I recommend to keep your current Device Version... I have no problem using it...
Cheers,

Thanks heaps rmercado that's an excellent reply, exaculy what I needed to see...

ROM Ver : 1.52.00CHS
ROM Date: 10/23/03
Wireless Ver: 1.08.00
Protocal Ver: 1337.18

Thanks in advance
Hi
The CHS ExtROM I have just downloaded is a ms.nbf file.
What tools can open nbf file? and how do I use this file?
anyone give me tips
and Why is the CHS ROM download size 107M? the hardware ROM is only 64M. I am quite confused.
please help me on this
Thank you for sharing
But one more question about this
How do we use about these files except the CHT version
and the CHS dopod is a nb1 file.
well, do we need to change the filename or use some more else progamme do cook that.
Please help us
I found this link, and i think it's how you can use the CHS ROM provided on this link..
I am off to find a SDCARD in order to test it and give you guys an answer.
Instead of XDArit, use XDATools
But the thing is that, I am not sure if we could use XDATOOLS for XDAII
most of the example on the web i found is for XDA...
Cheers
http://www.pdasky.com.cn/info/732-1.htm
I have read the Himalaya Rom Flashing
so i get the exact file what the xdaii can read by the CHT rom
but i really need to know how to use the chs extended rom
it says
"checksum is not ok, possibly you provided the wrong password"
who can help me this
any one please help me with this.
thank you
I have no luck with the XDATOOLS with the CHS rom provided in this thread.
Keeps saying incorrect size...
And yes I still have not got my hands on a SDCARD yet :-(
Cheers

ROM Ver: 1.60.00 WWE
ROM date: 12/03/03
Radio Ver: 1.08.00
Protocal: 1337.18
ExtRom: 1.60.44
Hope someone will reply
Cheers,
how can we put the ext rom to the xdaii?
any way with it
I have downloaded the 2 CHS Files (CHS_dopod696_15200_2.rar & extentded rom chs.rar).
HOwever, when I used a ROM Editor Program (er2003edit) to open these files, it ended up with a pop-up windows saying "The Password seems to be wrong"....
Does anybody here got the idea on how to open these files.

1.72 T Mobile Rom Needed

hi has anyone got a uk T Mobile Rom latest version or a rom i can use to upgrade my uk 1.60 T Mobile Rom to, as being fairley new to this i seem to be having trouble using any other roms. also could anyone tell me what is the latest and best rom available
Cheers Burgs 8)
Best ROM available is the 1.72.00WWE rom from Qtek or iMate.
To use it you will have to modify the country-id (which contains the provider name).
Just download one of those roms from this site (search for RUU172*)
Follow instructions on the wiki part of this site
Upgrade the Radio and the OS only!
Dont use the Extended ROM (ms_.nbf file) as supplied (ie delete it before the update) as it contains specific customisations from the supplying operators. You might wanna try my 1.72.901 Extended Rom archive (also search this forum) for that.
Hi Edsub,
what about RadioROM 1.17?
Worse or better than 1.14?
I have no experience with Radio 1.17, YET
Planned for next week
BTW Edsub,
see my post http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=11618
231 people read this one so far and no one is offering help.
Could you help the less gifted (me)?
Sorry, but on the following page is a description that does the trick:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/HimalayaRomFlashing
I just found that it sure is hard to find via the menu's. Fortunately I stored a shortcut to it myself.
Hi Edsub,
thanks! That was what i was looking for (for starters).
Lets see if i can make something of this......
To al the others:
thanks for helping me out!

O2 Xda IIs Asian Extended Extended ROM

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
debug
Usage: unlockextrom [-lock | -unlock] [-hide | -unhide]
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?
Thanks

Yes. Just remove the unwanted CABs from the Extended ROM folder and edit the AutoConfig.txt accordingly.
RE
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?
Thanks again

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 am showing no extended rom after upgrading to 2003se all my o2 software has disappeared and I have no camera software anymore. Did I do something wrong? How do you work with the HIMA_WM_2K3_EXTROM.RAR file and OperatorUpdate.bat file. I must be so new to this. Please somebody help I've spent hours on the forum, I just want my phone to be updated properly. Thanks
I suggest you read the thread on upgrading better. A lot of upgrade 'packages' do not contain an extROM because a lot of us just what to customise it anyway.
A cmplete package consists of 3 nbf files:
nk.nbf - the os
Radio.nbf - the radio rom
ms_.nbf - the extended rom
There is a good SE ExtROM in this thread (by me):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39938
Hello again,
I am a little green when it comes to extended rom.
I have referenced the page you suggested but how would I alter this to work with O2?
Also my bluetooth microphone doesn't work but the speaker does.
Is this also symptomatic of having no Ext ROM?
Thanks
Middo

My Rom Version 1.43.720.1 (51718) WWE

recently bought a topaz and the factory rom which I have is 1.43.720.1.
I got this in India, does anybody know where I can find this same ROM, somewhere on HTC websites? or if anybody has it already can please share?
Also, checked HTC Asia wbesite, and the latest version of ROM I can find is 1.40 only
I didn't see this version yet anywhere.
Hope you can make a dump of your ROM for
a) backup
b) support our ROM cooks here for new versions
i've already uploaded the dump of this ROM (part01, part02 etc)
Can you point me to a location for help
I have nil experience with dumping of ROMs, if you could direct me to a tutorial/forum wiki or something, I can create a dump and upload it for the forum
Rom1.43.720.1(51718)wwe

Guys, Can anyone, help me on dumping a ROM from my device?
Also, is it possible to flash that same ROM back to the device, if yes how?
little bit use of "search" function never hurts
u can use the following post as a guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2460876&postcount=3
Seems like that is too much of time to spend on dumping the ROM then create your own based on the dump.
I guess, I'll better wait untill the offical ship ROM is available on internet!
PS: Aman, thanks for your reply!

All depends on how urgently is your need to scratch the itch to upgrade the ROM of the phone. My new TD2 lasted 4 days before it was flashed... The dump is needed if you need to restore the phone for warranty purposes etc.
Hi
I'm trying to back up my stock ROM 1.43.720.1 (51718) WWE using xdatools and KovskyKitchen. The KovskyKitchen requires a stock ROM .nbh file to be in the Baserom folder. The one I could find here in this Topaz ROM dev forum is older ver i.e. RUU_Topaz_HTC_WWE_1.39.405.2_Radio_Signed_Topaz_61.20t.25.10_3.43.25.19_Ship.
My question is, suppose I use this in KovskyKitchen along with my stock ROM raw files, does it package with my stock rom or the older one?
Regards

if you need just a backup of the OS (the Radio is already available), why don't use DumpROM to copy it and then use RebuildROM to create a flashable .nbh file?
my td2 came with -1.43.720.2 (51718) wwe- in india
rom date - 6/15/09
just dumped and rebuilt the rom -- using dump my phone and rebuild rom

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PQXTNEH9

As far as I know, only 3.44.25.27 (without the A) is available. I don't know if there is a big difference.
Thanks for sharing the rebuild ROM.

any way to dump the radio?
forum search didnt help

Not as easy as dumping a ROM.
Search the WIKI, and the whole XDA-Developers and you will find some tips. But nothing special for Topaz

This is indeed the latest version of Topaz ROM till date from HTC!
But no official release from HTC support yet, the ROM is already 3 months old. Even I have not flashed my topaz yet, just waiting for an official release of this version!
HTC guys are you listening?
