problem with xda-developer-ser-v12.exe

hi ppl,
i m from indonesia, i have locked xda with :
rom ver : 3.14.13 eng
rom date : 10/09/2002
radio ver : 4.14
protocol ver : 32s54
offcourse i can not use xdaunlock.exe (to unlocked the xda), and i dont have serial cable.
so... i tried to install xda-developer-ser-v12.exe (i hope i can use xdaunlock.exe to unlocked my xda, and got cooler xda with more application ), but after i run the file, the problem is
"cannot find the rom image to upgrade your pocket pc. please download again".
anyone any idea with it???
and i plan to download :
-Radio Stack Upgrade v4.21 (1.54MB)
-Radio Unit Upgrade v3.17.03 (14.9MB)
at http://www.o2.co.uk/business/productsservices/xda/romupgradedownload/0,,113,00.html
can i unlocked my xda with xdaunlock.exe if i upgrade the RSU and RUU with those?
please advice!!!
thanks everyone
regards

it s work
i wake up in the morning, and turn off my laptop, with activesync connected to my xda.
i unzip the xda-developer-ser-v12.exe to directory, and running start.bat
and.....
wooow. it is work.
i can update my rom with xda-developer-ser-v12.exe
my xda finally unlocked, and can use my own simcard.
thanks xda-developers.

I had the same problem but I fixed it by unzipping the file to a folder on my desktop with the original folder names in the zipped file. It worked fin from there!

Hi Jim,
Maybe I did not get the message right- I thot one should always have used Jeff's exe file from the pc; ie clicking on the exe on the pc with the xda in connection with activesync?
It seemed to me that you guys have uploaded the file into the xda and tried to execute the file within the xda. I believe this is wrong right?
Can someone please confirm that to run any of the self installer exe file (even those now in the famous rom kitchen), one has to run the exe from the pc with the xda connected and not within the xda.
Cheers
Vic

Hey Vic, you're right - The exe from Jeff's site needs to be run from the pc. When I did it the first time just opening the exe I got the error listed above. When I unzipped the .exe file (I just opened it from Winzip) and extracted the contents to a dir on my pc using it's folder names then double clicked the start.bat file it found everything it needed and ran just fine. I think before I did this it couldn't find the files in the \English folder. - Jim

Hi Jim,
Thanks for reply and sharing with us your experience.
Have you had similar problems with one of those exe installer files in the rom kitchen at Jeff's webpage? I like the SER ver 1.2 but do not want certain programmes and it seemed logical to make my old rom. Have you used Jeff's rom kitchen yet?
Cheers
Vic

I did cook a rom in Jeff's kitchen and it works great!! I can't remember if I had to unzip and run the .bat file on that one or not. Either way it's very easy and a great service these guys are providing us - Thanks! - Jim

Where can I get ROM: 4.01.00 ENG for XDA1 900/1800?

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....

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

Unlock SX56 Rom Ver. A.30.09 Eng

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...
Thanks :roll:

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.

need to unlock sx56
is there another method to install developers rom special edition b/c i tried to cook up a new rom after being redirected to www.yorch.net but 1st my rom version at&t A.30.09 eng is not listed does it mean i can't do it
2nd i used the 3.17.03 ENG O2-Euro hoping to overwrite mine but i could only create an exe not an nk.nb1 or the .nbf file
from this new kitchen http://xda.weblink.net/ i was able to create a nk[1].nb1 rom made by chosing my current rom version does anyone know if it will unlock my phone
we getting ready to move to an area where att has no signal so i will need to stop my service with them and sign up with another provider ...

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)

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!

downgrade radio version

should i downgrade the radio version when i want take my o2 mini to warranty?IF so,how to downgrade the radio version,i have try upgrade the rom and downgrade back,but it's there a way to downgrade the radion version? i am newbie so hope can learn more thing here sorry for my poor english. Have a nice day!

no one can help?

I can help!
The reason why the radio is not downgraded is because the ROM backup actually doesn't downgrade radio at all.
Now, the way to do it properly is to first grab whatever ROM package you want (I grabbed an Imate JAM v 1.01 ship). Then you extract the files in the .exe file to a folder. Delete all the nbf files except "radio.nbf" then use MaUpgradeUt_noID.
Basically, by deleting the other nbf files, you are only upgrading/downgrading the ROM.

thanks friend!cheers!!

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_FlashSD

sorry friends but i don't understand somethings in this page http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_FlashSD
for example:
"xda os image tool" is want "source" and "destination"..
my source is "installer.exe" from the http://www.romkitchen.de/ ,it isn't .nb1
which m i choosen?wm2003final(there is nb.1) or wm2003se(there isn't nb.1 but i want this version)
and "destination section" is wanted .nb1 , my sd card there isn't anyone.
what m i do?m i download the wm2003final.cb1 and its copy to sd card??
poffff,what m i do now?
thank you again.

if you rename the exe to zip you can copy out the nb1 or nbf file or what ever
one can only use the tool to get the rom to the sd card windows copy dont work
i flashed many times using this guide to the step
