upgrade tp pocketpc2003

Just downloaede the pre-relase of the new t-mobile rom 2003 from yorch.net and expanded it. I got a nk.nbf file. How do i proceed from here on to upgrade my XDAI?

if you want to upgrade using the cattle then you should have chosen the exe flavor
think the nbf is if you are doing it by SD card

where do i get the exe file from?

look here

for this text
How would you like your ROM?
installer EXE
zipped NK.nb1 (SD-card flashing)
zipped NK.nbf (advanced users)

in the buttom it's a radio button which mean you can change it
if you want an exe then you choose
installer EXE
the same option should be avalible at yorch.net's Kitchen

Sorry, but could not find it at yorch. it only downloads a nbf file nothing else. Suggest you have a look at it. Thank you in advance

http://kitchen.romanweb.com/kitchen/index.php < Its there!! Right at the bottom
I think your downloading the nbf from yorches main page, not building one in the kitchen ?!?

Yea you can do it with the XDATools program!
For more info. on XDATools read:

normally an .nbo extension means that the file is the bootloader part, not the Windows CE part.
An .nbo file should hae a size of 256 k, while an .nb1 file is around 32 meg.

my .nb0 file size is 32 MB

I normally have an aversion to blindly changing the extension on files, especially when they are going to be used in a ROM upgrade, but I think you want to change the extension to .nb1. I would suspect that the bootloader wouldn't know what to do with a 32 meg .nb0 file.

i'll try that... thanks

you may also want to check your file using 'splitrom.pl'
it will try to determine what is contained in your file.
to be safe, convert it to a 'sure' nb1 by typing
Code:
perl splitrom.pl yourunknownfile.xxx -wo truenb1.nb1

i'm not familiar with perl scripts and i don't use linux
i'm using win xp
is there a way to do this using win xp?
thanks

Qman... I tried using XDAtools and it didn't work. OSImageTool didn't recognize the file's format.
Any thought?

Thats real strange I just copied an image with the same extension to a SD card without any problem, oh wait I used XDArit 1.0 and not XDATools.
So I'll give XDATools a try when I get off work tonight and post how that went.
BTW the file I used was a boot loader backup ROM and then I used XDArit to copy it from the SD card to hard drive and I named/saved that file as xdarom.nb0 then I used XDArit to write it back to the SD card, bingo no problem!
BTW Toshiro thats why I had ask you to send a copy of that file to see if I could write it disk, but since you didn't I just created one myself and it worked. :wink:
Can somebody else give this a try and see if it also works for you.

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....

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

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

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)

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!

How to extract files from ATOM ROM?

As we know, to upgrade ATOM ROM we have to lauch an exe file downloaded from seeo2.com. But we cannot extract any file from this exe file except Boot.nb0 and this file is useless. Does anyone know how to extract other files from it. As I know, there are at least following files inside this exe file:
eboot.nb0
dm.nb0
flash.img
agent.mot
mot.mot
CPLD.img
assetinf.img
extended.img
MDOC.img
Its strange that there is no .nbf file at all. Is there any method to dump the ROM from a working ATOM? Can the Grabit utility grap ATOM ROM to SD? Will it be usable ?

I have dumped it already and uploaded here, but i do not remember are the files you search there.

When you double click the exe file, it will extract files to Windows\Temp foler, files are all hidden.

I'm not sure if this is correct, but I was provided with
Xda-Atom-ENG-20060123_Feb2006_.exe
Double click. This will extract to your root drive
c:\
Device Software Update Utility.exe
diskimage_Ver.nb0
Extendedrom.img
nova_pda_033105.mot
vl1d_pda_Ver.mot
Extendedrom.img can be opened with winimage.
diskimage_Ver.nb0 - can't remember how I dealt with it, but in the "usual" ways I guess! Mamaich's romtools I suppose. Thanks Mamaich!
If anyone can, I could still really do with a live rom dump, using this app:
http://www.vijay555.com/vj/!Tools/dump_167.exe
I'm not sure if it works on the Atom, but I'd be grateful if someone could try it and let me know. A couple of nice guys have tried and failed
V

Vijay dear friend..
like i told you before...
the DUMP didn't work..
but you have the lastest rom.
any way, in a week or so, a new rom is about to come out, may the new rom could be dumped...?!?
Nadavi..

Exactly assasins, and I'm really grateful for the info.
I've dumped the rom file above, but a dump from the rom isn't the most useful ways to get files out of it. Some files aren't usable from there, so a live dump is best. But not to worry, I'll live without for now.
Oh, but I could still do with an atom registry dump if someone can send me that... gracias!

I think it extracts them to a folder on your sd card, called Dump.
If you've got an eten dump, I could do with one of those as well.
I didn't write this app - I can't even remember where it came from. If anyone wants to volunteer as the author, I'd like to know more about the app!

Will I think it's not working hear
noyhing in my SD or TMP folder

Guys, what's the storage card called on the Atom?

V
