WM 2003 OS on XDA1

Hi
Is it possible to get WM 2003 on the XDA 1. ie upgrade the 2002 version supplied with the XDA1
If so is there a step by step guide to the process.
Thanks in advance for any help
Cheers
Ric
I read this message on this forum and would like some help please
"T-mobile WM 2003 for MDA I will be available 29.Dec.03 ???"

Yes it is possible to upgrade your XDA I. I put the T-Mobile Backup-Rom provided here on my XDA I and it works perfectly. How to do it, is explained there as well. But be aware that the ROM provided there is a German one. I don't know how to change it into an English one.

The ENG version is here ftp://tmobile:[email protected]:21 .. but be careful as it contains the upgrade for both RSU and ROM.

your device is 900/1800mhz = the A model
the upgrade you trying to put on it is the american version hence tmobile.... which is 900/1900 the B version

EURO Upgrade
Where can i found an european wm2003 upgrade (in english, not in german)?
marco

the versions of wm2003 you can only use are:
v4.00.01, v4.00.05 & v4.00.11 no other versions of wm2003 as of yet the others are american versions.
www.yorch.net

Gaz, ur right but the A,B difference is significant only for RSU upgrades. That's why it's performed with TMO 4.01.00 file as it contains both RSU and ROM upgrades. But if you use Winzip to extract the ROM files only, I don't think it will show this error.
However, I 'm still waiting to see a kitchen option based on 4.01.00, but seems the focus now is on XDA II stuff

Is there any chance you could send me the 4.01.00 file, can't find it anywhere. Ronnie

just check 6 posts higher in this thread :wink:

Your a GOD, thanx :wink:

Hello Biso;
I downloaded the file, right clicked on it and used the winzip options to unzip it to a folder where I found a file named upgrade and a folder named English. I found the folder to contain the rsu, so I did not try to use it as you recommended, and I double clicked on the upgrade.exe file. Unfrotunately the same error message of device a and b came in and I could not continue.
What I am doing wrong.??

Nothing wrong, All upgrades made by operators will do such check and since your device seems to be PW10A then you will always get this error if you use the EXE method.
In the \English directory, you will find a file named NK.nbf which should have a size of 32 MB. After extracting this file, you have 2 options:
1. If you have SD card and reader/writer, put it on the SD card and flash your XDA through the bootloader.
OR
2. Use the XDAtools from this site and make the source is the NK file and the destination is the XDA flash ROM.

2. Use the XDAtools from this site and make the source is the NK file and the destination is the XDA flash ROM
Thank you very much Biso, you were of great help. I just flashed the rom and I know I will enjoy it. by the way I changed my device to qtek 1010, to have an extra 32 of ram.
BTW do you know a cool site from which I can change the skin of the phone. I just did not like the TM logo

newbie: o2 xda german to English OS?

hello guys,
I was wondering if someone could help me with a step by step guide (or maybe a link to a thread with needed information), how to change the operating system language of my o2 xda?
I currently own a German xda, and would like to have it in English...
thanks for your help!

You can start with this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=5623
HTH

thanks,
but is this working fine with the European 900/1800? since it was created for American market 1900...

yes you can... extract the .exe file using Winzip or Winrar
take the Nk.nbf file, use XDAtool or XDArit tool to burn it on your SD card, upgrade using SD method... then it will only upgrade your ROM not your radio stack
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
from the thread the url points to
so the nbf is the rom for the pda part
and the radiostack upgrade is another file in the
exe file if you dont mess around with the radiostack upgrade
your phone will not get messed with

Original O2 Mini Asia ROM, Radio and Ext ROM required

Does anyone have the original O2 mini asia rom, radio and ext.rom

I am awaiting someone sharing too

goto the ftp. there are alot of resources there. ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Magician/

Dear all
I thought something missing in this forum. I have a look for XDA O2 mini ROM for a while. Nobody could answer where the exactly place for download the original rom of O2. If anyone has it ,please upload to the ftp.
Thanks

There IS a folder in the ftp " XDA II Mini ROM" but it just has a 53k rar file. Strange!!!.
Anyway, i have a original O2 Mini Asia ROM, not sure how to dump it yet. Will look in the forums and try to do it.
Watch this space for updates

O2 Mini Asia ROM
Hi,
Where did you the the O2 Mini Asia ROM ???
I have an O2 got in Thailand and they don't provide any update yet.
Where to download an English ROM, v1.06?
Thanks a lot !

I had purchased a Dopod 818 from Taiwan , but the ROM inside was completely from O2. So i thought i will dump the ROM before upgrading, which i did. But the dump is 1GB ( my SD card is 1 GB ), so i am finding out a way to reduce the size coz the ROM takes less than 128MB space as i read somewhere here.

Dear All
I had uploaded my O2 original dump ROM to ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Magician/Original O2 Dump ROM folder.
You have to use NTRW.exe to put it back into 128 MB. SD card. I got this file from our friend from thailand (Thanks to PDAmobiz.com, XDAmini). I didn't try yet. Because I'm happy with wwe 110 modified storage ROM. Please do it carefully.

I downloaded the rom image, write it to 256MB sd card using ntrw.exe, insert the sd card into my mini and do a boot loader by pressing camera+power+reset.
BUT after a few seconds, the text below is shown on screen...
SD Download

Anyone knows what is wrong? Thank in advance for ur help...

After digging through the forum, finally found out that i need to replace the 1st 220H bytes in the given rom with device image 1st 220H bytes.
Everything seems ok now...

Did you finish your downgrade?

Nope... i'm on my way flasing ROM while i post the message...
After flasing is done, the screen shows checksum failed and i do a reset. Then my device dead...
So i was forced to use back the previous ROM in order to make my device alive again...

Dear Pehshin
I look carefully over the Original dump ROM. The header is not the same from my 110 modified storage dump ROM. I think we need to downgrade to any 1.03 ROM first and then copy the first .... byte. I don't know the exactly header byte from 1.03 ROM. After that copy it back to the download original rom. Then flash with the same fashion should be success. Do you?

ftp username & password?
where can i get the username & password in order to login to ftp folder? pls advice. thanks.

Re: ftp username & password?
Before asking please use seach for your answer.
Ok. xda/xda :evil:

I have such problem before I replace rom with 416 bytes. Try replace new rom with 416 bytes from old rom instead of 220 bytes.
This apply to CHT1.06 version

o2mini ASIA ROM uploaded to ftp

for the ones who needs it:
o2mini ASIA shipped ROM just uploaded to ftp://forum.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Magician/
extact the *.rar file and you'll get a 124MB o2mini_asia.nb1 file.
use ntrw to write into a 128MB SD CARD, and upgrade yr mini with SD method, and your mini is as when you just bought....
good luck.

interesting, I got a 240MB+ Rom image. Why is that so?
I assume the steps to write the ROm image to mini is the same as how we do backup (and extract the rom), except that the ntrw command is different.
what's the command anyway?

if you dump yr rom (with mtty) with a 256MB SDcard then you'll get 240MB+ image. if you use a 128MB SDcard you'll get 124MB+
as for how to: if you mean the extract (rom dump) and upgrade with the SDcard method, yes it is the same.
command ? for what, mtty ?? ntrw ?? please do a search in the forum .... (hint: How to dump ROM to SD..... )

actually, what I meant was with the original O2 ROM, how do I write-back the original ROM on my upgraded ROM, should one day I decided to revert back to normal?
Is there a software where I can read the ROM image and split it into NBF files for ROM/ExtendedROM/Radio respectively?
It's interesting that the ROM size changes according to the capacity of the SDCard. I suppose this is just the image of the SDcard, not really ROM, and part of the image contains the ROM.

Hi Johanesl,
What version of O2 mini ROM is there?
The latest one, or the original 1.03.00?

I bought my O2 Mini 5 days ago and it's shipped with 1.03 ROM. Now I've upgraded it to "V1.11WWE modified 27Mb Storage" and it's been super stable! I just love the O2 ....

Are there any suggestions to my problem? I upgraded my O2 stuff to Qtek 1.11 however I did not make a backup of my original rom 1.03. How can I now downgrade, only if I need to obtain warranty service, from 1.11 to 1.03. As I see it I could only do it with the original O2 software and not someone elses backup file. I have tried all avenues within the procedures docs etc. Surely someone out there has a copy of the original O2 rom software??

Please help this newbie...:D
