Hello all,
well it is not 100% free, you need to earn it.
The price is to allow me to downgrade the RSU to 4.16
I am unable to do this and have tried so many things so far without any success.
I have RSU 3.23 now
ROM wise, I have no problem, I can change it using the SD method and the ismgtool.
Well, I am sure you will ask, what is the guarntee? Tkae my word for it for the time being and try me.
You can send me a private message or e-mail me ([email protected])
If I receive the solution from more than person, I will look at the time I have received the pm/e-mail and the prize will go to the eriler responder.
HURRY :!:

Work harder folks
You have "RSU 3.23" and want to **downgrade** to "4.16"? What am I missing :?: :?:
yeah, numbers are meaninless!
Anyway, just solve to me the issue of downgrading 3.23
Hmmm ! i guess you can't
Hello
as far i know and if my memory still works i read something which says you Can not roll back to older version and that was on the 3.23.01 release note.
HTC Advice not to try to downgrade your GSM cause you might distroy your device and lose the GSM capabilities.
also few other issues include
Fixed: SIM unlock code hacked
1. Disable memory dump function.
2. Unlock code encryption.
Fixed: Do not auto-reactivate PDP context when network reject PDP context activation
Fixed: Specific message should store in SIM without affecting the VMI
Solution: Change the DCS of specific OTA message from 0x00 to 0xf2 (Store message to SIM)
Fixed: After dail a wrong number, dail second call with correct number within 30 seconds,
this call will be established for 2 seconds, then be automatically cancelled.
Solution: ACI state is not syncronize to MMI state. Syncronize the state of ACI and MMI.
Fixed: USSD Problem
Fixed: Inter-SGSN Issue

Othman,
are you replying to a different topic? :?
What is the relation between what you have written and the downgrading issue?
Place adaptrom.exe in the up or down grade application folder.
run adaptrom, then the up or downgrade application.
This will change the rom as well as the radio stack.

you can send me the device, i can run over it with my car, get AT&T to replace it with a new one ( I have insurance from them) and BAM! start from scratch
OK, how about this:
1. Obtain the RSUpdate.exe and accompanying files for the radio stack version you want to upgrade/downgrade to.
2. Copy them to the \Windows folder on your device
3. On the device (use File Manager), run RSUpdate.exe. This will manually update the radio stack.
4. Send the free XDA to me, since a winner is me!

2JoshB: It is not so easy as you wish.
You may not downgrade 4.21 radio to 3.19 and below in this way (though it is Ok for greater versions). The restriction is by design and appears during actual uploading to radio module due to some kind of _internal_ checking.
I can suggest the following:
-convert RSUpgrade.cp64 you want to upload to binary format. Let it be 3.19 for example
-try to find 03 13 and 13 03 entries (= 3.19 in hex)
-If entries are exists -try to replace them with 04 15 or 15 04 accordingly (= 4.21 in hex).
-convert RSUpgrade.cp64 back to text
-try to flash these files in the usualj way (upload to windows etc...)
But this way is very dangerous. I mean that such a stupid replacement may corrupt radio stack code, so your radio will be broken completely.
More than that: radio stack version checking may be implemented not by number but features available in RSU. So version changes may not be enough to downgrade radio.
the more reliable way is to disassemble radio stack and bypas version checking in more sensible way. But unfortunately my qualification is not enough for doing this.

Hi
I need to fix my broken XDA. I will try to write the RADIO DUMP file RS-x-xx.bin directly into the flash memory. Just because I can;t find another device to read the file from it I ask all friends in the forum to help me.
This file can be obtained using XDA manipulator with a serial cable ( usb not work ) with the device in the bootstrap mode and by pressing CTRL+R.
This will dump all radio flash memory to a file.
Hope the format will be the same as the one in the flash memory is.
If the operation will fail, I will let you know. If succes, I will ofer my services to repair all devices from 1% error RSU which cannot be fixed trough the steps descibed in the forum.
Thanks in advance.
Silviu C.
Me too :lol:
Could somebody please help us here?
Nah, I don't know...
I have such a file, but I'm reluctant to give it to you. Here's why:
The radio ROM contains the software needed to make the GSM work. It also contains what is called 'calibration data'. More and more radios, such as the one in the XDA, have no more tiny knobs to twist on the inside. Instead, all the tuning is done in the factory, and the data on where these virtual knobs should be set is stored in a special spot in the ROM.
The update files that come with the Programme B upgrade package only contain certain regions of the ROM that need to be written to in order for the device to be upgraded. The format of these files is understood (ask Itsme or W4XY for help if needed), and IMHO these files are a much better starting point than a straight 4MB dump of all ROM. Whatever sorry state the unit may be in with this whole 1% business, restoring the entire ROM from another unit is a sure way to make certain the unit can never be repaired.
Peter Poelman: Thanks for the kind reply.
I understand your point, but could you please give us some idea how to solve our problems with this 1% business. As you might have noticed that we have tried all posible options/ suggestions there is in this forum.
. In my case, the GSM ROM is broken after I accidentally left the GSM 1900 option checked on after upgrading to TMobile RUUv2.04b_CEv4.01.00wwe_VS_Ozone_Test_(Integrate_Radio_6.24.01).
Your suggestions would be highly appreciated....

Instaead of Hi I say you are great people
So the case is... I just need to have working Qtek 1010 with SOME additional soft on it inside a ROM...
I've read many pages in this forum and I'm able to find too many ways to change my ROM. I'm totaly confused.
I work for extremaly big worldwide company and they gave me q Qtek, told me to use it, gave me one simple application and web link... so I do.
But the Qtek is much powerfull than that so I need to flash my ROM.
Now comes a question: where can I find one document how to prepare for it, what tools do I need, how to do it... I know after some tries I will be confident enough to do such stuff easlily, my problem is I have only one try, they will make me w trouble if I screw my company recource.
I understand you had milion similar questions like that. Basicly I need help how to flash so I can be sure 100% not less that I can recover in case of trouble. I hope you understand I'm afraid to do it because lack of experience and you are able to tell me if I should try to flash...
or maybe it's better for me to ask my boss to by me a 512 MB SD and install all additional soft on it and stop worring about memory?
I'd appreciate any opinion... you are the best and I'm just new to this bussines...
Get an sd card, backup existing rom to sd card, very easy to do by bootloader method. Enter bootloader by holding down power while inserting stylus in the reset hole on the bottom left of pda then press top right function key, then choose ce to sd. Once you have done this you can check if it has in fact backed up your rom by putting sd card in the pda, enter bootloader, it will then give the option to program the rom, just remove the card and push the reset with stylus again, the other method to check a working backup is to put the sd card in the pda, the pda will ask to format it, say no and remove it. Once you have a backup you can either use xdatools to copy it to your pc or keep it in a safe place, no more files must be written to this card otherwise it will be rendered useless, if you wish to reuse the card sometime it will need formatting. Once you have your backup, go to www.yorch.net, cook yourself a rom and download it in the exe format, this will do a normal install from your pc while connected to pda via activesync, if it messes up you always have your backup. Once you become more proficient at using xdatools you might wish to try out lots of different roms until you are happy with the result, you can go on to sd card flashing which is a much better way of programming rom and much less prone to error because it doesnt rely on a pc connection. I would advise you to leave the radio stack alone, if you can make and receive call ok leave it alone. Have a thorough look around the forum before proceeding. Its good fun to program your pda and you can make it a much better tool, but make sure you always have a way out if things go wrong.
www.yorch.net not working... is there a place like that?
Hi!
I read the above post, one of the clearest here, and I almost got the confidence to finally do this ROM update...
But:
1) Can't find the www.yorch.net website where I could "cook myself a rom and dowload it in a .exe format"
2)It's still not very clear to me what exactly cooking a ROM means: it concerns the OS (the version 1.53, 1.72 type of stuff), the extended ROM (the default programs u get starting after and hard reset like the SW for the camera etc) or both?
Thanks!!!
Chris
Another ROM Kitchen
Try the following ROM Kitchen http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
I noticed that you have the XDAII. Now, someone please correct me if I'm wrong but the directions above and the ROM kitchens are all for the XDA I or Wallaby version.

Chris,
Those Roms are made for XDA1 beware it's not made for the device you have!!!!!!
What's the kitchen for XDA II
THANK YOU!
I was starting on the wrong foot... :-( :?
Anyway a couple of more question:
1) Is there a place like that for XDA II Kitchen? Is my undestanding of what a kitchen is correct?
2) The process for ROM backup outlined above, is still correct for XDA II?
Thanks!
Chris
I'm in the same boat as you CChris. I've been diligently a daily searching through the numerous topics on this site looking for similar information. I haven't found it yet - or at least nothing not-to-super-technical. I do know that you get to the bootloader by pressing the power button, reset button, and down on the toggle at the same time rather than the Wallaby way of the power and reset buttons only. It also seems that there are issues regarding 'country' and that it requires software to get around this. I haven't found the software yet - the links that I've seen all point to "itsme's" website which is currently down.
You can read the thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=9053&highlight=
Hopefully, someone with a lot more knowledge than me can go over updating the XDA II as clearly as cruisin-thru did for the XDA I.
The instructions on http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/HimalayaRomFlashing are correct.
Unfortunately, there was an issue where the wiki removed the ~ from itsme's website's address. It's been replaced with %7e and now the link works.
If you download a ROM from the same vendor as your device (e.g. Qtek ROM on Qtek device, iMate ROM on iMate device, etc.) you don't need to use these instructions, you can just install the ROM upgrade from your vendor.
If you want to use the latest ROM (from iMate) and your device isn't an iMate, you need to decrypt, change the "country" code, encrypt, and then run the upgrade.
You can also edit the extended ROM when flashing, but it's easier to use itsme's extRom Tools. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=8422
You do NOT need to flash the ROM if you are not experiencing problems, or if you are experiencing problems which the new ROM also has (for example ugly cleartype fonts, which may be fixed without flashing). Flashing the ROM may void your warrantee. You will lose all your data when you upgrade, and you should not restore a backup, only your my documents folder.
If you are a newbie, it may be best not to flash your ROM. If you typed in itsme in google, you would have found his xs4all address as the third link, and would have quickly found out his site wasn't down at all, but the link was just wrong.
Just a warning: the things that could go wrong when flashing are potentially much worse than a wrong URL, and the answer to those problems won't be the third link in google.
NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO DON'T COME NEAR THE RADIO UPGRADE I QUOTE I FRIEND HERE THAT SAYS

Hi.
Can anybody told me how to change screen on xda exec?
My screen is broken but I have other XDA with good screen how to change?
Or my be better just change main board?
What is faster and better - changing just screen or main board?
Changing the screen is a lot easier. You have to unplug just about everything to change the main board. To change the main screen, you can get away with just dismantling the screen part of the Uni - and with several screws and a couple of cable plugs that's it. See the Universl Service Manual for step by step information.
thanks!
But I have no access to service manual (password).
If I will decade to change M/B it is relay hard and need special tools or just take time for few connector and screw?

Like I say changing motherboard is much harder as everything is plugged up to it! You don't need any special tools - except to get the case split open and the correct torx driver.
Hi
Thanks for pass)
I just exchange MB it was pretty easy.
Now, main question:
Anything working now OK, but what will be happen if I take backup to restore under new MB?
It is possible, to damage MB with software?
No, you can't damage it with S/W. If you backup/restore should be fine.
and just last question.
I search forum for upgrade ROM to my XDA, but more I search less I now;(
Can you give me link for step by step guide haw to update ROM?
thanks.
Have a look on my signature link, you´ll find all you need
Thanks
But I still have same confusion.
I have Boot loader ver. 1.00 Is G3 can I have to upgrade to G4?
(where I find boot loader for me?)
And last, haw can I check what is my version - 128 or 64 mb?
Thanks for any help!
I have maybe too many question, but I relay wont avoid brick my XDA
OK
Finally I change ROM to Tomal WM6,1 v.8.9
I have problem on beginning, when PC told me it was error during flashing ROM, and process restoring original one was unsuccessful!
I just remove sim card and SD card and try again - with full success!
So I have now:
ROM version: D.08.90 TML WWE
ROM date: 07/18/08
Radio version: 1.04.02
Protocol version: 42.37.P8
Thanks for any help!)
How can I change Radio version and Protocol for new?
Same as my last post...
