Orange Branded ROM: Dump & Rebuild ROM - Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development

Hello!
I' really new here and this is my first WinMo device.
First of all, I want to say that this forum is plenty of information but the problem is that it is too chaotic. So, I'm sorry if there are the answers to my future questions but afer hours and hours of searching I'm still confused/misty/obnubilated.
My problem:
I have an HTC Touch Dual, Orange Romania branded. It has a personalized WinMo 6 and there is not any upgrade facility from Orange to upgrade to WinMo 6.1. It has only English interface, so I think that is an WWE version.
I want to upgrade my phone to the official ROM (released in 9/10/2008) but ,first off all, I'll need to backup all my Orange-Ro ROM, to restore it in case of malfunction (sending to service) and...the most important for our community, to share this ROM to other members (especially Romanian ones) who need to restore their Orange-Ro ROM. There is not any of Orange-Ro ROM on the Internet (all the Internet!).
Well, as I said, I'm new and...noob.
I want an actualized tutorial of dumping and rebuilding ROM from those 4 files obtained. „Actualized” because of the fact that the most of the indications of dumping and rebuilding are obsolete/old.
My questions:
1. for dumping, do I need to Hard-SPL and CID-Unlock my locked device?
2. Will dumping a locked, branded ROM preserve all its state (settings, splash screen etc)?
3. Do I need to hard reset my device to return to its factory state before dumping (I want this rebuilded ROM to be „pure” withowt traces of my presence).
4. I've found this Guide for Dumping Niki . Is it still good?
5. Where can I find the „Reconstruct a Dumped ROM from Niki” Guide, to make it "flashable".
Here i found some indications from tom_codon
What we need to do now ?
1. Copy part02.raw u dumped from original rom to Tools folder and run step1.bat
2. Extract RUU_signed.nbh from Ship rom and put in ShipRom folder.
Link download :
http://www.asia.htc.com/download/RUU_Nike_HTCASIA_WWE_1.31.707.09_Radio_Nike_1.58.1 6.27_signed_Ship.zip
Or here :
http://www.asia.htc.com/download/RUU_Nike_SingTel_WWE_1.31.871.14_Radio_Nike_1.58.1 6.27_signed_Ship.zip
3. Run Reconstruct a dumped rom.cmd in my Tools and wait some times.When page DOS done it will exit .U go to Update_Rom folder already have new RUU_signed.nbh.This files reconstructed your original Rom with your languages.
Have funs..!

So what about part00.raw, part03.raw and raw04? For example I know that part00.raw IPL, SPL and Splashscreen. I'll need the Orange Splashscreen for this ROM (in fact, I need a perfect copy of this ROM). Can I put all the raws in the „Base ROM” folder?
Also, the "RUU_signed.nbh"file from Ship ROM...
I want to remember that the Orange ROM is a WinMo 6 one!
Thanks in advance. I'll be back for new questions.

What has happened to my MDA2?? Where is O2 ROM 1.66????

Yesterday I have not resisted and I moved from T-Mobile ROM to O2 ROM using the file tmobile_t2_16050.rar downloaded form mdkia FTP. The strange thing is that after the upgrade everything remained the same (same software installed, contacts, EVERYTHING, also the extROM version: 1.60.36...) except for the start screen that now shows O2 logo...
What has happened???
Now I'm looking for O2 ROM 1.66, how can I find it?? I looked around but didn't find....
Grazie....
GOT IT!!!!!!
I made a HARD reset and Now I have a Wonderful XDA2 with ROM 1.60.50!!!
First impression: TODAY screen is really wonderful, MUCH MORE THAN MDA2 T-Mobile!!!!!!!!!
Now what I need is 1.66 O2 ROM!!!!!!!! Can anybody help???
peppepep
I'm very interested in your posting. I do not, unfortunately, have an answer for your question, but if you would be so kind perhaps you can help me.
I have the MDA II and I was running the 1.60 ROM with little to no difficulty, except for GPRS not always on, but I fixed that with the tool that is available.
Somehow my device got corrupted and I decided to upgrade to T-Mobile 1.60.36. Well that was a mistake, because I have had a very buggy device for about 2 weeks now, lots of problems.
Are you pleased with the 1.60.50 ROM? How specifically do I do what you did, which is going to the XDA II ROM Upgrade from 1.60.36?
What about the Country ID error I hear about? Does this present a problem?
Please help, I have posted on other threads here to no avail.
Ed
PS: I tried the FTP link, but I could not get connected.
Download the file "ROM TMobile to O2 1.60.50" from mdkia FTP: http://maja.mine.nu:8000/Login
user: xda2
pssw: xda2
I used this file to move form Tmobile to O2. No Country ID error because it has been modifyed by mdkia himself.
Let me know how it goes! (For me OK 100%)
peppepep
Edited: I did find out how to work the RAR File.
Naturaly I'm a little nervous about this.
Please tell me how you like the O2 ROM, and if you had any problems using the T-Mobile to O2 FLASH?
Forgive me, but I'm not familiar with using this type of file (RAR File) to flash my device. I have only used ROM Upgrade Files that provide automatic loading.
Could you please help me in this regard?
Also how do you like the 1.60.50 ROM, from O2?
A rar file is similar to a zip file, it is compressed and needs unzipping before you can use it.
The extended rom/ rar files
I downloaded the rom upgrade and it is fine, but what are we to do with ext_rom_o2_16050.rar.But (1.) What does this extension do? and (2.) How do I load it in in?
I assume you are requesting help to upcak the RAR File? If so:
You need a unzip or unrar file software. I do not recall the name of the software. I did a search and see that there are a few utilities for thiis out there.
I have it at home and could send it to you later.
Ed
Rar file
I can unpack the rar, that's not the problem, just what to do with all those extra files? Those aren't the Rom Upgrade files, they what are they?
I misunderstood your post evidently, and I'm still not clear on what your original post requests. "How do I load it in in?" I have yet to try the ROM Upgrade, but I opened the largest file displayed and it took me to a ROM Upgrade setup. It appeared to me that this is how you load it in. I'm not sure what the other files do, but I bet the utility for the upgrade would take those if needed.
What device do you have?
I own the T-Mobile MDA II, and I have never gone outside the T-Mobile ROM Upgrades. I may, however, because I do not like the current 1.60.36 I'm using. It is not very stable.
I hope T-Mobile comes out with a 1.66 soon.

BB Connect

Hi all,
Thus far has anyone managed to get any version of BB Connect running on WM6?
I have tried but with no joy
I also need help with this. The WM5 ROM had BB Connect pre-installed, but the WM6 one doesn't. Does anyone have the cab from the WM5 one?

Yes. Tonight I took the time to get things sorted. I now have WM6 and BBC 2.1.2.54 running. (Still no luck with BBC4)
Steps that I have done:
- Extracted the WM6 NBH (duttys tool)
- Hex-Edited the windows.nb
Original HEX string is:
4D3EA0E3063083E3452FA0E30510A0E302
New Hex string is:
1D3EA0E3013083E3452FA0E30510A0E301
This resulted in os version 5.1.465 (like the original WM5 for Athena)
- Used the Athena_upgrade package to flash this modified windows.nb to my device.
One word of warning when using this flash method: Be sure to read out the proper handle for the area where the .nb will be stored.
If you want the whole wm6 on your device do the full upgrade with one of the provided WM6-ROMs before flashing the above modified .nb.
- Don't forget to change the AKU to .3.3.1
Thanks to all involved people who provided the tools, wm6 and whatever. You have my greatest respect!
Cheers

Hi, you only need to flash the windows.nb file. It should also work if you already have WM6 on it. What has to be mentioned is that the itsutils in the Athena_Upgrade Package also did not work for me so I was unable to read out the handle and flash it, but I've downloaded the itsutils from here: http://nah6.com/~itsme/itsutilsbin-20070705.zip
and they worked without any problem.

i see that BB 4 works with Black, for 5.1.195. I tried some hacking for WM6 of Athena but BB 4 doesn't connect. I think it checks something more that the operative version.

Yes, I did that. That means it can be done. But sorry, I forgot exactly how to do it. It was long time ago. I read the instruction somewhere and it was fairly simple and easy. You may search the forum to find it.
Basic problem is during the upgrade process, the English ROM sees the resident ROM is Chinese, it will say wrong language version and refuse to overwrite.
My recollection is during the upgrade process, before clicking upgrade button, go to Windows temporary directory, find the ROM image. Edit the ROM language version number and save it back. The first upgrade will fail and need to redo the upgrade but the second times it will not check the language and complete the upgrade.
There may be some unlocking program that may even make it simplier.
Atom Exec only put out upgrade once so I never have any upgrade to do afterwards so didn't keep track where I read the info.

Ok, since nobody response (no too many people buy AtomExec). Let me tell you what I did and worked but don't ask why because I do remember.
The reason CHT AtomExec cannot flash with English ROM that is normal because all manufactures want to keep tracks of the warranty of their machines and do not want users change the ROM software. Each IMEI number tells which language of the ROM it can use. For example, I am a register user of CHT AtomExec and O2 does not let me download the English ROM and I have to look for the ENG ROM in the intenet.
So each ROM must have something so the machine can tell whether it is the correct language for it. Instead of unlocking the machine, which I do not know how, here is what I did:
I. I opened the CHT ROM with a hex editor. I copy down its ROM number (it is in the first line, very easy).
II. I opened the ENG ROM with a hex editor, I carefully modified its ROM number as exactly like the CHT ROM.
III. I then flashed with the modified ENG ROM. The first time, it will choke. It does not know why the contents of the ROM does not match the ROM number but no harm done. It may or may not give you an error.
IV. Now flashed it again with the original ENG ROM. This time, it will flash with the ENG ROM without complain.
From now on, you can flash with any other ENG ROM, WM5 or WM6!!!
Good Luck!

G4 VODAFONE unloked upgrading firmware ERROR[238]

I am desperate, I red almost all posted instructions of how upgrade g4 (VODAFONE unlocked, my case) firmware and none works fine with me. I get the new firmware (Qtek_S200_220736_2207116_024721_SPA) for my Prophet I followed all steps and always tell me the same, ERROR[238] FILE READ.
I have tried hundreds times and nothing. Someone can help me?.
Thank you in advanced.
P.D.
This is what I do:
0)Begin installation from Qtek_S200_220736_2207116_024721_SPA.
1)Copy the files from the temporary folder to other location
2)Close the instalation program.
3)Paste into new created directory ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe and execute it. Until here, everithing is OK.
4)In the step that the process ask if I want to update my firmware, I click YES and pataboooommmmmm! EROR[238] FILE READ
Its unlocked?
Is The CID unlocked?, I had the same machinne and I was able to upgrade from last spanish ROM version to Touch Xb by Gullum just like a regular G3. Also update Radio, only the Vodafone stiker remains in the case.

Beginners Guide to Unlocking/Upgrading the ROM

So you want to try some ROM other than the shipped ROM for your Athena!
What Do you need to know?
Backup
You should also know that doing this will usually wipe all the info off your phone(except the microdrive and SD card)
So it is important that you learn to backup any info that you want to keep.
I suggest using pimbackup and I usually back up MyDocuments by syncing with your computer or even copying it to your SD card.
I do this as a routine everytime I fiddle with my ROM so I can return to the previous state.
I also use Sprite Backup as well.
Remove Sim/Sd card
Next , make sure you remove your SD card and simcard before proceeding to apply Olipros unlocker
Unlock
Well you have to unlock your ppc to accept a new ROM.
I haven't done this for a while , but fortunately the process has been made easy by Olipro in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=315831
and in german in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378216
Check Bootloader Screen
Throughout this forum you will be referred to your SPL.
This is the Secondary Program Language and on your unadulterated ppc it will be 1.1
Olipro's original unlocker upgraded this to 1.1x but the unlocker above will change it to SPL 1.2
You can see if this has already been done by putting your phone into the Bootloader screen.
This is done by holding the camera button completely in and then pressing the reset button.
You will now see a red/green/blue and white striped screen telling you the device id and SPL version.
If you see SPL 1.2 , you are good to go to load any SPL 1.2 Rom.
Activsync/Windows mobile device centre.
You need this program to apply updates to your ROM
There used to be a problem with earlier versions of these programs not recognising WM6 ROMS.
This problem is easily solved by updating these programs
Upgrading Radio
No there is no FM radio on the Athena, this refers to the operating System radio that operates the phone/wifi/gps etc
This is important to know as AP4 needs at least radio 1.50 (and maybe WM6.1roms)
Upgrading the radio proceeds the same way as a rom upgrade
version1.58 is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409271
version1.57 is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=372904
Where to find a ROM
Fortunately Sergiopi has collected and sorted them here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397518
Walk me through the Process
1.backup data
2.remove sim and SD card,apply hard reset and wait till full initialization complete before connecting to pc.
3.establish Activsync connection
4.ensure no background program running, antivirus, firewall and etc. before executing flash command.
5 start the unlocker and follow the instructions.
6.reboot phone and make sure you still have activesync
7.**Update the ROM to an SPL appropriate rom according to what appears on your bootloader screen**
following the above protocol
Great!
Now you should have a new ROM to play with!
And play with it you should !
But I want to try an SPL3.5 ROM!
OK if you got this far You should be able to do this.
**First step is to install AP4**
At the moment there is only 1 foolproof way to do this and this is to use the Athena Updater
But first read the upgrade Guide Please Here http://www.htc-hackers.com/uploads/AP4_How_To_1.8.pdf
It is very detailed and I recommend following it exactly !!
This is the link to the athena Updater
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387409
Now I want to go back to SPL 1.2
Ok. this is possible
see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405604
Need to know more or Stuffed the Flash?
Don't worry , nearly everyone here has made a mistake but been able to recover.
Read the wiki and/ or search the forum
If you have any suggestions to change What I have written ,post a reply.
Advanced:SD Card Flashing
Rather than using Activesync/WMDC it is possible to flash using the SD Card
from the athena Wiki (a good source of info)
"Rename the .NBH file to ATHEIMG.nbh and copy it to your miniSD card. Press camera+soft reset to bootloader and wait for reading ATHEIMG.nbh from SD. Remember, the miniSD card must be formatted with a FAT32 filesystem before copying the file ATHEIMG.nbh to your miniSD. After finished, do a soft reset."
this doesn't work with SDHC cards .

Thank you very much,
Because the knowledge in this community is so high, sometimes pleople like me are afraid of writing some type of questions.
This way it will be easy.
"Sticky" please.
fantastic, a thread like this should be made part of the sticky topics!
cheers
Beautiful guide
Yes, is special for a noobs like me and others nice guide thanks.
bump
may help stop a few questions
thanks 1000000 times
now i won't be afraid of upgrading my athena
This really should be made a sticky.
I know when I first visited this forum, it was overwhelming. So many bits of pieces of info everywhere. Very hard for a new person to come in and make sense of it all.
Great guide lakeman.

you need to learn a few skills like reading the wiki and then doing a search of the forum.
also this question has nothing to do with the title of this thread.
The problem you talk about is not confined to the X7501 and i refer you to a sticky in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387986

I had unlocked my device and upgraded radio version to 1.58. Different Roms tested , last was Michy 5.1.
For variuos reason I had to reinstall the Original HTC Rom and again everything was working succefully.
Now I would like to reinstall Michy Rom 6.1 and once I enter the bootloader the screen is showing:
ATHENE 100 IPL-v1.00 ( standard)
as well as one line below
ATHENE 100-SPL-v1.20 Olipro
In order to avoid to brick my device my question is:
I can flash the Michy Rom straight or I still have to repeat the unlock procedure since the beginning again?
Thanks and regards

You can only flash SPL 1.2 ROMs and last time I looked Michy 6.1 was only SPL3.5.
You would need to upgrade to AP4 first as outlined in my first post

update rom and radio
Can someone help me? I have updated my dell axim rom many times but in the case of athena (u1000) i am afraid to do it because it is also a phone. I am not sure whether the radio 1.58 is applicable world wide mobile phone network or is it just in the united states. I live in Malaysia and we have several mobile phone network providers like digi, celcom and maxis.
Also should the radio be updated first or the rom first? Thanks

Radio 1.58 works everywhere as far as I know and is not carrier specific.
I could not get mms to work.
You need to upgrade to radio 1.5 at least to load AP4 and I think people had troubles if they used an earlier radio with WM6.1 roms.
So I guess it would be best to upgrade the radio first.
Thanks
Thanks lakeman,
Thanks for your clear clarifications about the radio updates and the AP4 Roms.
i am beginning to feel confident again about updating my u1000. I have read so much about michy's rom and a few others. The official rom in my device is stable but might be a bit slow if i were to compare to my axim x51 using the latest L11 rom from Lenny.
The joy of having responsive roms made me reluctant to sell of my dell axim even though I am using my u1000 most of the time now. I wonder if anyone had sold off their previous axim after using u1000 (athena x7500) and regretted.
But if i must use my u1000 which has features that no other ppc has namely the large screen, i would like to have better roms than the official roms.
Thanks to all here who have contributed so much to improve the athena!
lakeman
your instruction seems the most easy to follow (at least for me)
So i am itching to try upgrading my dopod u1000 here in malaysia.
So if i just want to upgrade the radio 1.57/58
I have to
1. do the unlocking using olipro (3 steps)
2. remove sd card and sim
