Is this the right method to cooking? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have taken the O2 Offical rom for my o2 zinc and extracted it to get the NK.NBA. I then opened up osKitchen Zero and added my device, I then changed the welcomehead and goodbye screen (as a test) and cooked it. I then copied the os.nb to my extracted rom folder and did the following command:
copy /b Header.bin + EXT_ROM.BIN + BIOS.BIN + RADIO.BIN + BOOTLOADER.BIN + NK.NBA MARSII_G4.ABI
I now have a MARSII_G4.ABI.
Does that sound right?

Do you want to upgrade from T-Mobile 1.60 to Dangaard 1.60.21???
This is what you have to do step by step:
1) download ruu16021wwe_dangaard.zip from the ftp specified in the post here in the forum
2) Unpack the zip file, then click with the right button on the extracted file (ruu16021wwe_dangaard.exe, make sure
you've winzip installed) and select extract to. Choose a folder where you'd like to put all the upgrade files
3) download xda2nbftool.exe from this page:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/xdaii-update-format.html and put the file in the
created folder
4) Open the MS-DOS prompt, go to the folder where all files are unpacked and digit the following
instructions:
xda2nbftool -d NK.nbf nk.nba 921211 (enter)
xda2nbftool -sd PH10 -so TMobile -sl WWE -v ms_.nbf (enter)
xda2nbftool -sd PH10 -so TMobile -sl WWE -v Radio_.nbf (enter)

xda2nbftool -e nk.nba NK.nbf 921211 (enter)
5) Now launch the upgrade file and enjoy!
This procedure could be adapted to any rom changes. The important thing is setting the right password for the HimaUpgradeUt.exe file. Pass is HTC for 0500 version and 921211 for 0600
version.
Many thanks to XDA developer Itsme for the support!!!
Thanks mate! I'll give it a try when I get home from my work.
Yesterday I unfortunately updated to 1.60 T-Mobile, So today I've started from T-Mobile 1.60 rom, then I’ve made all explained at the beginning of this post, ok?
But surely you can start from rom 1.52 and upgrade directly to 1.60, but you’ve to change T-Mobile with Qtek from the MS-DOS instructions, ok?
Hello:
What are the benefits of the upgrade? Is it better radio stack (GPRS and BT)? Is it the ROM itself?
Thanks for your input?
Fernando
So does this look ok?

(needs to be opened in a new window, please cut&paste to new browser window, ¤&/% brinkster)
Just thought the new CE image version looks a bit odd, but I guess thats what happended after the commands on the file, just wanna be sure before I hit the upgrade button. So after I have installed this T mobile upgrade the one from Qtek should work.. right...
Again thanks!
cannot access to the page you linked !
cannot access to the page you linked !
I'm sorry for my silly question. I got confused.
This method is for T-Mobile 1.60 to Qtek_Dangaard 1.60.21. However I can't find where ruu16021wwe_dangaard.exe is applied. I can see only the TMobile being extracted and updated. Does it mean we have to rea-apply the Dangaard update after this procedure? :?
Accessed!
Stop!!!!
It's wrong!!
From which Rom do you start (which is the rom you've installed?)
I got the T-mobile installed, and want the Qtek one...
You should see:
To:
CE Image version: 1.60.00
Extended image version: 1.60.21
Radio version: 1.06.01
Have you follow my instructions???
Sorry
There's a mistake in the rom link I've posted
The right rom image is the follow:
ruu16021wwe_dangaard.exe
Download it from the ftp indicated in previous posts
But you say you do the changes to the RUU16006WWE_T-mobile_NL.zip Sure you don't mean the Qtek one, since this is what I will install?
You'll find the rom here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4857
That's what I thought... Good thing I didn't install the modded T-mobile I made 8)

Nice work!!
Now is there somebody kind enough to cook a custom extended ROM (taking the best from O2, TMobile and Qtek)? i couldn't do it myself 'coz I do'nt have a Linux box..
Works flawlessly ... after having been a T-Mobile machine, my O2 XDA II now is a Qtek one ... hehehe
Unfortunately this did not eliminate the write protection on my Extended Rom.

NE1 sucessfully downgrade imate sold with ROM 1.66 to 1.52?

I recently purchased an i-mate PPC with CDL's buggy ROM version 1.66 and would like to downgrade to 1.52 which I have downloaded from their site. The only problem is that shortly after it gets to the "Stage 1, erasing existing ROM", it aborts with Error CE 112, "perform soft reset and try again". The only option I have been able to do after that is to reload 1.66.
I figured this out and thought I would post my solution for others.
The 1.66 upgrade file from CDL uses a different version of HimaUpgradeUt.exe than the 1.52 version. So I had to unencrypt the files using the version level from the 1.52 release and then re-encrypt with 1.66 version level and then load the older(1.52) files with the newer HimaUpgradeUt.exe.
hi;
how did you decrypt and recrypt the files, did you use the xda2nbftool soft ware ??. Also, why didn't you think of upgrading to tmob 1.72 instead of downgrading to 1.52??
Yes, I used xda2nbftool. Pretty much followed the instructions from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/HimalayaRomFlashing.
I didn't go to 1.72 because I was concerned about warranty issues. I figured if I was only downgrading to CDL's own release, which is a solution on their site, I had a better chance of staying within warranty.
artiemon, if I can give you an FTP login/pass, would you be willing to upload a zip file with your modified .nbfs and the hima*.exe's so I can try to downgrade my phone. I've tried your instructions a few times but keep getting a verticle white line down the right of my screen. I'd very much appreciate it.
Jon.
Jon,
I deleted the nbf files when I was done, but here is specifically what I did to create them.
Download both ruu152113wwe_cdl-sku1.exe and ruu166131wwe_cdl_sku1.exe from clubimate.com under the device suport link. Run ruu152113wwe_cdl-sku1.exe and wait for it to unpack but don't click on any buttons. While the dialog box is still up, find the directory where it is unpacked in "\Documents and Settings\yourname\Local Settings\Temp". Mine was in a directory that started with pft.
The subdirectory should contain these files:
HimaClearJumpCode.exe
HimaGetDeviceData.exe
HimaUpgradeUt.exe
ms_.nbf
NK.nbf
Radio_.nbf
Copy them to a new subdirectory on you machine. From that directory, copy HimaGetDeviceData.exe to your PPC and execute from there. This will create '\Windows\DeviceData.txt' on your PPC. Copy this to your PC to determine the current Operator on your PPC. Mine was still CDL.
Get a copy of xda2nbftool at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/xda2nbftool and copy it into the new subdirectory with your extracted files. The 1.52 ROM version was encrypted at the 0.9.1.0 version of HimaUpgradeUt.exe, so decrypt the 3 files as follows from a command line in your new subdirectory:
xda2nbftool -x NK.nbf nk.nba 0x89124137
xda2nbftool -x ms_.nbf ms_.nba 0x25863614
xda2nbftool -x radio_.nbf radio_.nba 0x12345678
Since you are not changing Operators, you should not need to run the following, but I did anyway.
xda2nbftool -sd PH10 -so CDL -sl WWE -v ms_.nba
xda2nbftool -sd PH10 -so CDL -sl WWE -v Radio_.nba
xda2nbftool -sd PH10 -so CDL -sl WWE -v nk.nba
Now run ruu166131wwe_cdl_sku1.exe and wait for it to unpack but don't click on any buttons. Again, find the new temporary folder under "\Documents and Settings\yourname\Local Settings\Temp". The only file you need out of here is HimaUpgradeUt.exe, so copy it to your working subdirectory replacing the one from 1.52 ROM. The 1.66 ROM version was encrypted at the 1.0.0.0 version of HimaUpgradeUt.exe, so encrypt the 3 files as follows from a command line in your new subdirectory:
xda2nbftool -x NK.nba nk.nbf 0x20040304
xda2nbftool -x ms_.nba ms_.nbf 0x20040305
xda2nbftool -x radio_.nba radio_.nbf 0x20040306
Then all I did was run HimaUpgradeUt.exe from the command line and after about 75 minutes I had an i-mate at version 1.52 ROM.
Good luck,
artiemon
Well, I followed your instructions and still have a blasted white line running down the right side of my screen. I had another older version of 1.52 and it had the same problem.
I'm really getting annoyed!
Jon,
Are you able to load 1.66 as downloaded without any issues?
When I was originally having trouble with downgrading, I was always left with just a bootloader screen(1.06). But I could always get back to 1.66 without an issue.
If you can't get 1.66 to load, you may have a different issue than I had.
No, I can get the 1.66 to load back up without a problem, no matter what.
I don't really have any other suggestions for 1.52.
I did find that the bluetooth headset functionality in 1.52 was not acceptable and decided to go to 1.60 from O2. Here is the link. http://www.xda-2.co.uk/downloads/xda2_upgrade_download.html. I've been on it for 4 days and am very happy. It has an O2 splash at startup instead of i-mate and some other O2 specific junk I had to delete. The phone interface looks a little different, but it was way more stable than CDL's 1.66 and my Jabra headset is working great. Clear type looks pretty good too. If you're not to squimish about a non-imate ROM, give it a whirl.
I found a fix in 1.66 by changing a registry key to make the incoming COM port for bluetooth 5 instead of 4 (its under HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn). You simply change the Index value from 4 to 5 and my sd-gps started working. I have a bad feeling my sandisk card is dead though.

How install official imate 1.72 on a o2 1.60?

Hi all!
i have a imate pocketpc and made the upgrade from 1.52 (the rom i found in the device) to the o2 dangaard 1.60, with a file found here that was a convert.bat and a xda2nbftool.exe.
Now i would like to install the 1.72 upgrade from imate and i receive the already seen "country id error". Now, i tried to understand the page in the forum where it explains the way to use xda2nbftool.exe, but really i can't.
So is there anyone who can post again a convert.bat file (like the previous) to help me?
Or someone who can explain me,simply, how to reflash my rom?
Thanks a lot!
Mario
UP
Anyone who can help?
Thanks!!
Mario
You say you have the O2 Dangaard rom. This is impossible. This information is important for the convert.bat file, so which rom do you have, an official O2 rom or a Qtek (Dangaard) rom?
I have attached a file that you can use to upgrade an O2 rom, it will not work on a Qtek Dangaard rom, you will then have to change the words O2 into QTEK in the batchfile

I've tried on a QTEK 2020 form Dangaard Italy with "Versione ROM 1.66.04ITA"

ROM Date: 03/15/04
Radio Version: 1.14.00
Protocol Version: 1337.24
ExtROM Version: 1.72.126
The name of the file used for upgrading is: "ruu172126wwe_imate.exe"
It seems all working perfectly.
Thank you to all the guys of this Forum!
Hi there, I've got a QTEK with the same ROM as yours (pre-upgrade).
I'm also interested in upgrading to the (latest) engligh version.
Could you tell me exactly what did you do?
Is it enough to put the palm in the cradle, synchronize it, and launch the "ruu172126wwe_imate.exe"? (of course with a re-sync at the end).
Besides, does this software update also the phone menus?
Ciao e grazie.
Upgrading Instructions
Hi there!
I don't know if my way to upgrade could be the best one, but it works, and not only for me!
If you need more detailed explanation you can follow this link:
http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61
Anyway this is the easy way I followed...
You must have three files: "ruu172126wwe_imate.exe", "xda2nbftool.exe" that you can get here: "http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/xda2nbftool"
and a batch file that you can find above in this topic: "O2toIMate.zip".
If you have a different ROM (I had an original Dangaard QTEK ROM) you must edit the batch file.
In my particular case I used the batch file supplied by Wuga just above this post (thank you Wuga!).
Make a folder (i.e. c:\xdaup\)
Extract (I used winrar) all files from archive "ruu172126wwe_imate.exe" and put all them in c:\xdaup\ folder, together with the batch file and the xda2nbftool.
Execute the batch file and wait till the conversion job is finished.
The first part of ugrading process is done!
Now put your pda in its cradle, connect it by USB to the pc (DO NOT USE A USB HUB) execute the file "HimaUpgradeUt.exe".
Follow instructions.
Do NOT stop the process till it is finished!
The whole process is about 30 min. long
Good Luck!
Oh! Don't blame me if this instructions could seems you written by a novice, because... I AM a novice... )
Loxodont
Correct
Its the correct script...[/code]
@ Wiz & Loxodont
cheers people i now have the lastest rom on my phone and was simply done thanks to you two seems alot better then the o2 rom by far

Thanks for the file! Your are the best!

Downgrading from WM2003SE

Hi,
I recently upgraded to WM2003SE, this introduced some errors om my Q-Tek 2020 which is why i want to downgrade to the original image.
I downloaded 'HI_TMNL_17200_190_11700_Ship.exe' from the T-Mobile (NL) site, but when trying to execute it it shows "Country ID error" and stops.
I searched the forum and found a post the said i could use the no_id patch. After reading the instructions i found out that this patch needs the extracted files, but i only have the .exe i downloaded.
Can someone give me some advice?
Cheers,
-peter
Run the .exe file and press next ONCE. (this extracts the files)
open file explorer on your pc and navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR NAME\Local Settings\Temp
in this directory there should be a temp directory (mine was called pftA4.tmp)
the ROM images are located in this directory.
once you cancel the .exe program the files are deleted, so copy them to a new directory to save them.
Good luck.
Thanks, i managed to get the files!
I've been reading a lot on the forum lately, and in particular this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12101
When trying to get the xor keys with the command 'xda2nbftool.exe -t' it only shows the xor keys for "ms_.nbf" and "Radio_.nbf".
I'm missing they key for "nk.nbf" while the file does exist and is in the current directory.
I tried this command on two rom's and both did not gave me the nk.nbf xor key.
G:\peter\Officele T-Mobile image>xda2nbftool.exe -t
xda2nbftool -x ms_.nbf ms_.nba 0x20040305
xda2nbftool -x Radio_.nbf Radio_.nba 0x20040306
Another "push" in the right direction would be appriciated
-P
search the ftp
i do beleave that god toenailed has already decompressed that files
check in the ftp
Thanks rictec, but i looked all over the ftp today but didnt find it.
Nevertheless, the xda2nbftool.exe should be able to decompress my files right? Do you know why i'm not getting a xor key for that file (nk.nbf)?
Cheers,
-P
Could anyone please help me out?
I'm still in the dark about why i can't get the key from the nk.nbf file using xda2nfbtool.exe
Help would really be appriciated!

URGENT! - System Restoration

Please help! Being an avid user (I really enjoy the old system environment I was using), but not that much of a "techie". I've managed to create for myself an interesting problem/ concern. I followed a link here in xda-developers and I foolishly tried upgrading my system through the following: Himalaya_WM2003SE_Upgrade and HIMA_WM_2K3_EXTROM. I need to and want to restore back to my old system. Please help me!!!
Note: Not being a consumate techie, but a user, I may have overlooked a something below... But I desperately need to restore.
"I obtained (with many thanks to fychan) a memory image of an English version of WM2003 SE which is an earlier version than the recent Chinese release, but it is genuine English. I managed to create an installable NK.nbf file from this. Also, mamaich has provided the version 1.18 Radio upgrade included here. Many thanks to mamaich for that and also for some advice when I was building the OS nbf file. Also, mamaich has provided some CAB files for Extended ROM which I have also attached here separately.
Attached is an upgrade for Himalaya devices to WM2003 SE WWE, Radio 1.18. Unzip the attachment into a folder of your choice. The nbf files are configured for operator ID O2 and language ID WWE. If you need to change these, carry out all the steps below. If they are OK for you, go straight to step 5.
1. Extract the decrypted versions of the nbf files by entering the following commands at the command prompt:
Code:
xda2nbftool -x NK.nbf NK.nba 0x20040304
xda2nbftool -x Radio_.nbf Radio_.nba 0x20040306
2.
3. Modify the operator ID in the nbfs to the value you require by entering the following commands at the command prompt substituting <operator> with the required value:
Code:
xda2nbftool -sd PH10 -so <operator> -sl WWE NK.nba
xda2nbftool -sd PH10 -so <operator> -sl WWE Radio_.nba
4.
5. Update the crc values for each of the decrypted files by entering the following commands at the command prompt:
Code:
xda2nbftool -c -u NK.nba
xda2nbftool -c -u Radio_.nba
6.
7. Encrypt the files back into the nbf files by entering the following commands at the command prompt:
Code:
xda2nbftool -x NK.nba NK.nbf 0x20040304
xda2nbftool -x Radio_.nba Radio_.nbf 0x20040306
8.
9. Place your device in the cradle, ensuring that the cradle is plugged directly into a USB port on your PC and not to a hub and that the power supply is connected to the cradle. It is also a good idea to disable any screensavers.
10. Run HimaUpgradeUt.exe
11. Sit back and wait for the Congratulations screen to be displayed on your PC. Your device will still be displaying 'Upgrading radio stack, please wait', but as long as the PC says it is done, then its all OK.
Notes:
a. I have installed this upgrade on my XDA II without any problems, and have also been able to revert back to the 1.72 ROM I had installed previously. I have bootloader v1.01, and I don't know whether it would be any different for later versions of bootloader.
b. After upgrading, a hard reset takes places and the Extended ROM is installed. I found that several applications caused a 'Application may not display properly.....' message box to appear which required tapping to dismiss. Therefore, you will need to make sure that TPDisable.exe is not run in the Config.txt script in the Extended ROM, otherwise you will not be able to respond to the messages.
Edit: I've created a .BAT file which can be run from a DOS prompt to replace steps 1-4...
Usage: OperatorUpdate operatorID
where operatorID is O2 or CDL or TMOBILE, etc.
Just unzip the attached zip file.
