yes...the only versions you cant upgrade or downgrade using the exe file is Tmobile ROMS
the 4.00.10 and 4.00.16
the others can upgrade using exe...
Hi ...
I cooked and downloaded a ROM 4.00.11 and tried to upgrade a Qtek 1010 ... the XDA restarts and and error message tells that "Can't open USB/com port ......". Some one here said it's normal and that I have to redo it many times. I tried it over 10 times and the same is still happening.
Do I miss something ??
Thanks.
Latest ...
I tried to cook the new ROM as .nb1 file and used the XDAtools from the kitchen ... same result
Could there be any ROM protection on my device ???? :x

Hi Biso007,
Look at the IDIOTS GUIDE at:
http://www.xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3171
and follow the instructions thoroughly one by one and you can't go wrong, it did work for me, I was in the same situation.
:wink:
Hi Ritmo ...
Thanks for guiding me to the IDIOTS guide :lol:
May be I should have mentioned that I wanted to use the easy way ... without the headache of SD cards and BootLoader !! .... :roll:
I thought the EXE method was made for the IDIOTS like me ... but seems I need more learning and money to be become an IDIOT
Any more help plz ......

It's dead simple... I was scared like you are, but if you follow the instructions as they are, you will see that you are not any more of an IDIOT than the rest of us.
In the begining I only used to play with .EXE files, there was/is no way out, so I had to resign myself to the fact of going to the next step, and blieve you me, if you do as the IDIOTS guide, not as bad as you may think.
The SD card and the Reader are not that expensive...
:wink:
Hi Ritmo ...
Does it mean to totally give up the EXE method :?:
Now I wonder if it did ever work for any one here ... or it works in certain conditions ??
The .EXE ones only works for NON T-Mobile ROMs. If by 'mistake' you get a T-Mobile ROM, then you have got to use the .NBF or .NB1 upgrade/downgrade. After that, if you download NON T-Mobile ROMs than you can carry on palying with the .EXE ones...
Hope it helps.
:wink:

Hi,
I'm new to all this. I just got my first XDA and i need to unlock my sim code. I'm not sure how to do all this unix stuff. Is there anyone with all this done. And could they send me a copy so i can flash it to my rom?
My Rom ver. is 3.14.13 if thats any help
Also is this rom version too early for the XDAunlock tool?
Thanks
Seek and ye shall find
Your best bet is to search through the relevant posts (its a long and laborious job) but you will find what you are after.
Also look at the Rom Kitchen and you will be able to 'cook' your own rom and then flash it via your cradle. I do not have a Unix machine but the kitchen will create an exe for you to download.
As for sending you one, I doubt it as the rom is usually about 15Mb in size and so is a no no. Get to the kitchen, start cooking and enjoy the fruits of the XDA gurus labours.
As a word of warning some people may not be so forthcoming with info as they prefer people to search for their answer before posting. Just to let you know and prevent annoyance with regular posters
Goddame, go to : http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/ROMkitchen
It's the easiest way, you can cook there your ROM, and after download it ,even as an .exe.
Just be carefull to read the different choices, depending on the ROM you choose first . (don't choose a T-Mobile one if you're not with T-Mobile . I have an O2 XDA UK , and I choose 4.0011 ENG WM 2003, all is OK , before I had upgrade the RSU -> 4.21 on the O2 site
You should read the different threads about that on the forum, so you can have the feed back of others, what to do...or not, problems, etc....
Thanks for your help.. I should have looked around a bit more. I have had a look at the ROm Kitchen and it makes things alot easyer. I keep looking about for more info.
Thanks again.
There is a tool to unlock your XDA made by the super guys here .. check the Unlock forum ... Hint: it doesn't work with ROM 4.xx
Cheers

Does that mean that if I have a Locked O2 XDA and I install 4.00.11 ENG WM2003, my phone will still be locked?
Also, can I upgrade my O2 XDA 3.15.15 ENG to 4.00.11 ENG WM2003?????
Thanks Amit

Correct. First cook a ROM based on 3.17.03, unlock the phone using XDAunlock from Start/Programs/Phone., and then run the installer exe for a ROM based on 4.00.11 (for instance).

Yes you can.
Thanks Lads I've updated my XDA no problem.
I got a update to 3.17.03 from O2s website then cooked me a Rom update to 4.00.11 WM2003 in the Rom Kitchen.
The only problem i have now is that vodafone won't give me the settings for there GPRS connection because the phone isn't a vodafone autorised phone. Does any one have the settings for vodafone in Ireland? If so please forward them.
Thanks

This is the very essence of silliness. "I want to pay you money to use the service your business is about providing." "No, you're not authorized to pay us money to use the service our business is about providing."
lol
I got on to vodafone a gave them loads. So they put me onto there data support and he emailed me the settings and it worked. Why do you have to go through so much s**t to get what you want off companies like these????
Any how it's working fine.
Thanks everyone for your help!!
My XDA is running perfect :lol:
I'm trying to upgrade my XDA with ROM version 3.14.16 GER (Model number PW10A1) with the upgrade file (v3.17.03) downloaded from O2 UK website (I mean, I would like to change the language only). When I execute the upgrade file runs ok, but after several steps occurs the following error: ERROR 007: NO ROM IMAGE FILE. Cannot find the ROM image to upgrade your Pocket PC.
I also have tried with XDA Os Image tool (downloaded from this web) with Source:...NK.nbf and Destination: Device Memory (via Programme A) but there is another error: Programme A not found -run with '--register' error openenig target device (but Porgramme A is installed on my PC).
Thanks in advance.
What language are you trying to change to?
Now it's in german, I want to change to english.

Ok I suggest you upgrade to the Qtek 1010 ROM
http://www.carrierdevices.com.au/downloads/asiapacific.htm
Download Radio Upgrade File : RSUv1.15_(GPRS_T32500_ENG).exe
The D/L comes with both the ROM and the Radio Stack Upgrade last time I checked so just do the ROM.
or you can go with the XDA developers Special Edition ROM v1.2
http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe
http://www.xs4all.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe
either way your ROM will changed to English.

Thank you very much but I've tried the two ways. The first one doesn`t work because there is only the Radio Stack Upgrade file and with the second one I've got the same error than before, ERROR 007: NO ROM IMAGE FILE. What I'm doing wrong?
I don't know anything about the German ROM, but what about using the SD card flash method? It lets you get around the Programme A problems that occur with ROM's such as those from T-Mobile.

I don`t know very well that method. What I have to do? Do I have to do a copy of the ROM file to SD card first and then copy it to the ROM of XDA from the SD card?
Thanks a lot.

Basically I linked to the information necessary to do SD card flashes from this thread, as well as covering other issues with changing ROM's, such as with the bootloader (5.17 is an extra technicality) : http://xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3860. You will need an SD card reader which shows your SD card as an extra drive in explorer.
Let us know if you have further problems.

Somebody plz help. Got a XDA 1 (A Version), and have Rom Version 3.17.03 ENG, and Radio Version 4.21.00. I am on the Vodafone (UK) Network and want to upgrade phone to new 2003 software. Is it capable of being done yet, and if so, what files do i need (or a link plz). Many Many thanx to all those who reply. Regards, Ronnie[/b]
www.yorch.net and please scan around the forum before attemting anything that may kill your pda.
thanx for the reply, i have been to that site but not sure which files to use/download. Any info appreiated, thanx, Ronnie
1. Go to the kitchen option on the left side menu. Select the base for your new cooked ROM ... ex: 4.00.05, or 4.00.16 ... etc
2. You should see the top screen gauge in red. That means you have to check and uncheck some of the s/w contents untill it's green.
3. Select the EXE method and wait till it's "cooked" then down load the ROM file. Connect your XDA to your PC using the cradle and run the EXE and follow the instructions.
4. IMPORTANT: better to have a backup on SD card befor starting just in case.
Good luck ...
Thanx, will that work ok with the A model?? :lol:
It worked for me. The difference between A and B is significant only for RSU upgrades not the ROM. However, official ROM upgrades do this check as well, but the kitchen doesn't .... clever developrs!!!
Is there any chance you could send me the 4.01.00 file, can't find it anywhere. I notice you have that update on yours, and radio vers 6.24.01, do you have that available too?? Will it be ok in the uk, or am i best just using the 4.00.05 one from the kitchen, and leaving my RSU with 4.21.00 vers.
Many thanx for all your help, Ronnie :?

One very important lesson, if you have a functioning RSU, do NOT mess up with it :lol:
Got it updated thanx, works very well, but cant get active sync to work now, downlaoded v 3.7.1 and still nothing. Any ideas?? Ronnie :x
what is your device info right now ?
what type of error you get with active sync and is it on the XDA or the PC ?
Hint: try another PC to see whether it's your XDA or the PC
Device Info is:-
Rom: 4.00.05 ENG
RUU: 4.21.00
Worked fine before updating Rom, not done anything different to pc, and now it just can't find the XDA...??
Not sure why.
Ronnie :?
Do these tests in order and check the result after each:
1. soft reset
2. reinstall active sync
3. another PC
4. hard reset
many thanx for teh advice, got it sorted now, had to re-install active-sync, now works a dream, and a lot faster too. Many many thanks to Biso007 for your help, this forum is COOL

It doesn't matter which ROM you have now. Just cook any 2003 ROM there and it will put you on WM2003 (unless your device is from T-Mobile, 4.00.05 is a best choice).
Good luck

Sucessfully upgraded to the HTC 1.11 big storage as follows:
:arrow: Backup to 256 SD card (tried 64M SD card and it complained too small)
:arrow: Use MaUpgrade_noID method to upgrade to JAM_WWE_11100_132_1110
:arrow: Extracted its extendedROM for updated .cab(s)
:arrow: Use SD card method to flash over with HTC 1.11 big storage
:arrow: Selectively install ExtROM Cab(s)
Some comments and questions for the experts:
:arrow: Why doesn't the 64M SD work? Isn't the firmware only about 40+M?
:arrow: How can one extract the backup .nb1 into standard .nbf?
:arrow: Noticed that the HTC 1.11 big storage has radio firmware of 1.11 while JAM has radio firmware of 1.32. Also saw others at 1.40. Any enhancements in the 1.40 version?
:arrow: The selective installation of cabs is challenging. Does anyone know if some of the cabs (especially of unknown names not from O2) are adjusting the registry to improve performance? I find my current upgrade seem to be responding slower than the old O2 1.03.
1. download ROM you'd like to flash
2. download dutty's good NBHTool
3. download upgrade tool
4. run nbhtool and extract windows.nb from nbh file that came with ROM
5.run upgraderom.bat and keep fingers crossed
6. do hardreset and enjoy

Hi Are u sure this works..cos I hv tried several times on MDA compact III with no success at all, all the PDAMobiz versions
it worked with t-mo compact3 dutch v. to dopod shipped. try any other rom except pdamobiz. they are crap & helluva lot of people bricked pda with it
It really works

Hello phsnake
I have a simlocked ROM on my Artemis (orange).
does this remove the simlock ?
PHONNY: dream again, if it'll be capable of SIMunlock i'll sell it for £1. no unfortunately it doesnt, it only hardcopy os image.it doesnt remove any locks, pwds.... so it can help ie if u buy orbit thru ebay with ?spanish? rom to put there english.....
nothing else. im sorry im not buzz_lightyear, or others. i only compiled something from other sources and explained it
I have upgraded to pdamobiz but would like to try another rom...will it work for me?
Thanks,
It works to me perfectly. Thanks very much.

Ty jsi Slovák?
Also have PDAMobiz powermap 1.1.2 ROM installed on my HTC P3300 but would like a little cleaner ROM. As my device is locked and if this is method is really working, even at least for OS only, I have few questions:
1. Which English ROM is there that I can try and that is atleast AKU 3.01. Newer will be better.
2. ROM supports everything P3300 does - wifi + gps + .....
BTW, if I'll extract the windows.nb from nbh file, whats up with Extended ROM then .... as I understand it wont be included .... am I right. Best option then will be ..... ?
Tnx.
2 cosX: Asi ano ked to mam napisane v profile
2EazyVG:
1. READ WIKI - there are desc. of all ROMs avialable, including AKU versions
2. as above (it means as i remember only t-mo ROMs dont support WiFi - but even t-mo hw so if u have t-mo com.III forget WiFi /except for tmo NE i think)
btw. there will be no extrom, but U can extract all files from extrom thru winimage or so again read wiki
Tnx for your kind reply.
Tnx for your reply.

The best way is to hard reset your device before upgrading it.
How can I find out CID of HTC p3300?
info 2 command of mtty doesnt't work.
I tried to flash extended rom and OS using NBHTOOL.
But the flash program said that rom was corrupt.
It works perfect big THX
firstly a BIG THANKS to phsnake letting us know this method to upgrade the os.I finally did it todat and flashe my Orbit to the Dopod rom,and thank God everything is well.Thanks once again.
i follow the steps exactly and when i run upgraderom.bat only intializinge and nothing happen
step 5..run upgraderom.bat and keep fingers crossed

It means just what it says, that you should keep your fingers crossed while upgrading. Personally, I allways put my left sock on before the right one, too.
Sorry, pun aside, it is just an English expression meaning 'lets hope for the best'. If you are not supersticious, then don't bother.
