I'm new to this ROM kitchen upgrading and have a few questions.
1) Jeff's Kitchen (http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/ROMkitchen/) creates an .exe to load ROM update to PPCPE, the latest ROM being 4.00.16. At yorch.net, the rom update is 4.00.21 and comes as a .rar file. It took awhile to find a utility to uncompress the .rar into it's .nbf file. Now, how do you install a .nbf file to one's PPCPE? Does a utility exist to install this .nbf to PPCPE?
2) Three ROM files seem to exist, 4.00.10, 4.00.16 & 4.00.21. Is there documentation to state the difference between each? Which is preferred for T-Mo in USA?
3) My understanding is that if you upgrade to, say, 4.00.16 and want to upgrade again, you cannot due to some programme A??? I don't understand. I'd like to be able to return to 3.14 if 4.00.xx doesn't work OR upgrade further when 4.00.55 comes around. Can someone explain this one.
4) Along with #2, which Radio Stack version is most recommended to go with which PDA ROM version? i.e. yorch.net site is a ROM update but not a radio stack update. Can you update ROM without updating RSU?
Raed throught the forum before post! you will get all answers when you go through the forum
Quick answers but u shud reali search the forum!!
1) look for XDArit and XDAtools on this site and follow instructions, u will need a SD/MMC card and reader/writer. As for the .rar extension, if u dont have winzip or winrar you reali shudnt b fooling around with the XDA ROM images!!
2) Marginal stability issues and Service Provider (T-Mobile) Updates.
3) again look for xdatools etc blah blah...
4)ur service providers website will tell give u the most up to date RSU. RSU is mainly considered as a separate issue.

Hello, I read somewhere that there is a new TMobile radio Stack. Can anyone confirm this and point me towards it? Thx,
Donovan.
Donovan:
The latest, unless I missed something, is 6.24.00, and is available as part of the TMo 4.00.10 ROM update at
http://www.romanweb.com/yorch/official-tmo2003.rar which includes the 6.24 radio and 4.00.10. To install, REMOVE YOUR XDA FROM THE CRADLE. Unzip the file, and then cancel out. It creates a directory called RUU under Program Files. Place your xda back on the cradle and copy the two files entitled monitor_ul_bs and the two files entitled RSUpgrade from the RUU\English directory to the Windows directory on your xda. Then execute the RSUpgrade executable file on the xda. This will install the 6.24 radio. Once complete, a hard reset might be required, but normally that is not necessary.

Has anybody tried this RSU in New Zealand, If so was it sucessfull?
Thanks David. Much appreciated.
Donovan.
P.S. I'll PM you regarding that latte.
Hello
I have a serious problem with my XDA Qtek 1010 on the radio part.
In the bootloader i got " GSM ERROR" due to an error in flashing procedure.
I can back-up my ROM and bootloader and GSM part as well.
The problem is that I have found a lot of files to flash my ROM part bu nothing for the RADIO part.
Is there anyone so kind to help me and send a file ( or a link to download from ) from the radio part ( in SD format ) ?
Thanks,
Silviu C.
It would help if we knew what Radio stack you were running before the upgrade?
radio version before upgrade
I am not sure about initial radio version. It was an upgrade that is for sure.
please help me
Ok here you go, download the below file, use WinZip to extract the .cab from the .exe and copy it to your SD card.

Still not working
Hanging to 1%.
Please advice

Ok locate and copy the below files to your devices windows folder and run RSUpgrade.exe to restart the upgrade. (note this is an old method but it might still work).
RSUpgrade.exe
RSUpgrade.cp64
monitor_ul_bs.map
monitor_ul_bs.m0
also take a look at the below thread:

I want one
Could you guide me to where is new ROM ROM: 4.01.00 ENG
Radio: 6.24.01, 900/1800, it is new for XDA1?
Thanks
The 4.01.00 ENG version is here ftp://tmobile:[email protected]:21 .. but be careful as it contains the upgrade for RSU and I 'm not sure it supports 900/1800 or not since it's TMO upgrade.
If your device has no Radio problems (GSM), my advice would be to down load the file, use Winzip or WinRAR to extract the NK.nbf file which the ROM upgrade, put it on SD card and flash your XDA using the bootloader.
PS: if you are sure that your network is 1800 MHz then do NOT use R6.24 for RSU upgrade.
Good luck
Many thanks Sir
I am in Cambodia. There are two network 900 and 1800Mhz, I am using 900 Mhz, my ROM id 4.0.0.11 ENG, So where can I get ROM: 4.01.00 ENG in ZIP (NK.nbf) file? your ftp is only exe.
Regards
socheat
rename the exe to zip
and get the file from inside the zip
it's called NK.nbf
like Biso007 said

Why not using the .exe Version?
You can extract the .exe file using winzip for example and then you can find the extracted NK.nbf file....

Stefan
i just rename the file from exe to zip
and enter it like a normal dir using total commander
then i go into the dir inside it called english
and copy the file NB.nbf out
of cause would be nice to have the clean rom so one can avoid
having tmobile all over the place

Simply, coz the exe will start by upgrading the RSU and this what we want to avoid!

Just goto the \windows\startup directory and delete the file named "VsBattery.lnk" and switch off the Today plug-ins of TMO.
If you really like the TMO s/w but hate to see the icon, use the ResourceHacker application and replace the icons, dialogs, bitmaps and string tables of the 2 files VsBattery.exe and VStreamMgr.exe with your own resouces. Yes it's not very ethical but it's "Not for Sale" ... isn't that what TMO says in the splash screen ?? :wink:
Many thanks for all your advice.
But your ftp site is so slow, i download 3 or 4 times but cannot, it automatic disconnect.
could you show other site to download.
Regards
you could install and use a download manager like getright
the server is fast enough for me so maybe it's because the line to asia is not the best try at another time or use a download manager or get somebody closer to you to host the rom
I Syncronized the XDAUNLOCK to my AT&T SX56 but when I tried to run it I got "error getting unlock code" can you help...

Backup your existing rom to sd card, install developers rom special edition, this will unlock the phone, then flash original rom from sd using bootloader method.

i extracted the exe file to a new folder but there was not an .nbf file or at least i couldn't find one :?: :!: :?:
thanks
there is a subfolder named english. The NK lives there.
i found the nbf file i had to extract onto itself
i'm using the bootloader to do flash the new rom to my phone
i'm at the step where the device is suppose to recognize a new rom on my sd card
i copied the nbf file using xdarit
i plugged the card back into the pda
now i start the wallaby bootloader im running v5.15 it supposedly should recognize the new rom well the instructions say to copy the .nb1 file on the card but with the extraction method i could only get a .nbf is that why it's not being recognized
thanks
thanks guys my phone is free .... free as in unlocked
these are the steps i took
someone can do in 30 mn what i did in 1 day
-backed up my rom onto a sd card with wallaby bootloader v5.15
-using the xdarit i downloaded my old rom on my PC
-cooked a new rom with xdaunlock at yorch.net
-couldn't create a .nb1 or .nbf file so i took the .exe rom
-with winzip extracted the newly dowloaded rom onto itself to get the nk.nbf file to be flashed (when i extracted it on a new folder there was no nk file listed, so i went back to the kitchen cooked another rom saved the exe "et voila")
-i couldn't get the newly upgraded rom to be recognized when using the bootloader
-downloaded the xdatools to copy the nk file on sd card (i was unable to pick my sd card reader as a destination -weird stuff) so i did this
-from the english folder Abbas is talking about above i right click the nk file to copy it to SD card and xdatools was launched automatically
-plugged the sd card in the phone and started the bootloader v5.15 and instantly the rom on the sd card was recognized
-press action to download it
-cold reboot ( the battery on/off, erase all)
Re: thanks guys my phone is free .... free as in unlocked

All tools in XDA-developers.com cannot unlock SX56 radio A.33.02 or T-mobile 6.25.02
I developed a new tool to unlock them.

Maybe they should downgrade their radio, then unlock and then upgrade the radio and rom again. I think that is the new tool cgigate developed!
Hello,
The available original shipped ROMs for the HTC Hermes have .nbh files with the RUU, instead of the usual .nbf files found in other HTC rom updates:
By now, there are two shipped ROMs available, containing:
HERMIMG_Dopod_1.23.707.1_SHIP.nbh
hermimg_QtekNOR_1.18.255.3_Ship.nbh
So, it seems that the usual nk.nbf file is no longer used by the Hermes RUU
I cannot extract the various rom components (ExtROM, OS, IPL/SPL, SplashScreen, GSM radio, etc...) out of these files using the usual TyphoonNbfTool, however maimach's prepare_imgfs finds the imgfs and dumps it apparently ok, but it cannot be read using viewimgfs or itsme's rdmsflsh.pl, so I guess the dumped file is invalid.
Anybody knows about this new format?
is it possible to convert it to nk.nbf so we can cook our own roms?
Would it be possible for example to extract the radio rom from Dopod and replace it on QtekNOR rom?
