We've all worked hard, but it's done. The
XDA Special Edition ROM v1.0
is ready for release. Click here for details.
Way good job.
Ill give it a try we I get a linux machine runnig.
any change of getting som kind of windows version ( I no this will be heard because you use dd for file manpilation).
Just keep up the good work and I let you know if I have got a rom in my machine 8)
Download it here !!!
Only yesterday I wondered what I could do for this community, and today's already my chance !
I followed the instructions for mkrom, got Othman's Qtek ROM to modify, and got a working ROM image, pretty much first try. It is way cool, and does everything promised on the page. I created a self-extracting archive that runs adaptROM and then the "Programme A" thing, so people don't need to build it anymore, they can just download it and flash their device..
http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v10.exe
(The machine I'm on can handle quite a bit of traffic, but there may be other reasons why mirrors wouldn't be bad...)
Should work on all existing PW10A and PW10B devices. Please note that installing on U.S. 900/1900 phones (PW10B) carries a warning on the page.
Happy downloading. It's cool. Back up your stuff and install the new ROM today!

Thnx Jeff Summers.
Your installer worked like a charm.
I will also create my onw rom with my onw boot sreen :wink:
Thanks XDA-developers and thanks Jeff
Chiani
.Net Compact Framework
Hi !
is there a way to include the .NET Compact Framework in your ROM?
How about SMS_Name, sms-fix?
Thanks for your work
auto-config is not working
Hi !
I used Jeffs exe to install the ROM.
Everything worked fine, except the Auto-Configuration.
It pops up every time i boot my device and does nothing. I answered the questions and choose reboot, after the reboot there are no settings in connections and next time i connect to the gsm-net it asks again to do autoconfig.
I used the ROM on my german XDA32 with O2 (not loop).
Radio-Version: 4.16
am i doing something wrong or is it a bug?... Jabba

You should be able to just select 'Do not ask me this again' once, and that should be the end of it. I decided to leave the option to the user because I figured some people like being asked every time they switch SIMs. But maybe I should take it out on future versions.
Let me know if you can't make it go away by selecting the checkbox, and I'll look into it further.

I just posted it on use-net in alt.binaries.warez.pocketpc
Look for XDA developers romupdate.
One possible way to make the ROM image on Windows is to use CygWin. It's worked for me.
yes, the autoconfig goes away when i check the box, BUT i tried 3 times to let autoconfig do its job -> nothing. no configuration was done. finally i checked the box to make it go away. now i have to config the connections manually.
autoconfig does not work, it just says "you need to reboot" immediatly. and after reboot nothing changed. no config done. like i already said, i tried it 3 times.
am i the only one who is experiencing this?
a few questions:
- is the autoconfig dropdown empty? or does it contain a list of providers?
- dou you have an sd card? and a reader connected to your pc?
if so, can you write a rom image to sd, and save it to your pc disk
using xdarit,
and also use xdarit to write the NK.nbf (that can be found
in C:\Program Files\RUU\English) to sd, and then read
that sd image back to your pc, ( this is to convert the .nbf to .nb1
if you know how to use unix tools, you can also do this by
typing 'dd if=nk.nbf of=nk.nb1 bs=32 skip=8193' )
then compare those 2 .nb1 files.
they should be equal. if they are not, you should try to flash
your xda again, using the sd card you have now with the saved .nbf on it
that is more reliable than flashing using programme-A.
Thanks xda-developers AND the Jeff Summers who complied his ROM for US. Three PLAIN question
1) I'm happy that the 02 boot screen is gone but can I wool rather a non boot screen can your standard one be removed manually if not can you make this optional in the next version
2) Would I be able to reload the original ROM on the XDA i have to return to manufacture for servicing i two weeks
3)A minor Issue I i notice a square while mark in the top right corner appears sometimes is that know problem in the ROM.
Itsme: sorry i dont have a sd-card reader/writer. The dropdown menu is not empty, everything is there. i selected o2-germany.
btw: is the sms-fix in the rom too? sms-name i mean. is there any chance that there will be a german rom too?`
And there is one freeware tool written from a user at a german xda forum. it's an sms-char-counter (which is missing in PPC2002) it would be a good idea to add this too the ROM?!
the other guest: use the wallaby boot loader (reset with power-button pressed) to write your ce+boot to a sd card (this card will be overwritten completely!!) see the guide on this website.
the square mark is a very useful tool called 'switch', tap it, you will see.
you can download a rom that is official for your xda here
( that is assuming you are the person called 'guest' with the german o2 rom )
if you take a look at mkrom you will see how to modify the Special Edition rom to your needs.
Itsme: do i just have to change the dir-structure ? ie. program files -> programme etc???
This 'Guest' stuff is beginning to get to me. At least provide some identification, please. 'Guest', are you sure Autoconfig does 'nothing', it may be that it has created the GPRS settings, which i all it should do, we removed all the other crap it used to do. If it created no GPRS settings for you, I'll check the 'Germany - O2' file to see what's up...
Itsme: sorry i logged in with my last reply but forget to enter the username at the top of the reply (now i know there was some login error, otherwise the username-textfield will not be displayed).... i hope that i'm "in" now
in settings/connections there are no settings set for internet and work! "new" is the only item to select.
i tried that auto-config again, but still no settings...
sorry again for the "guest" stuff.

XDA developer Itsme
I was the Guest who mention the boot up after reset. I will be returning my XDA for services soon. Can i reload the original back with no problems? I had XDA 02 UK Radio Unit v31413 AND Radio Stack v4.
i notice the XDA developer SP Edition ROM Version date is 03/10/03 are we head of time??????
the boot up after soft rest (XDA developer bootup') i look at the instruction i have very little knowledge to follow the instruction (i'm a newbie). Any simple suggestion
it should be no problem to change your rom to a previous version
you can download the official o2 rom here
your radio stack was not modified by the special edition rom, so no need
to change it.
the date, mmm. not sure which of the digits is the month day or year.
I don't think I understand what you are trying to ask with your other question. ( or even if it is a question )
There's two type of ROM upgrades: Operating System ROM upgrades and Radio Stack Upgrades.
Radio Stack Upgrades:
Radio Stack upgrades are distributed by the devices resellers. They come in packages with names that may or may not include "Programme B" or "RSU", and they are usually about 2 MB in size. Version numbers are a mess, and lower version numbers do not mean earlier versions. There's at least three different paths of version numbering out there, and the version number on the file doesn't always match the version number displayed at boot and by 'Device Information'.
The official Radio Stack Upgrade process is a mess. We've seen way too many people wreck their devices doing nothing weird or strange. Our advice regarding Radio Stack upgrades is to get them from your own device provider (so you know it's for you type of device: 900/1800 or 900/1900 MHz), and to only upgrade if you know the upgrade will fix known issues that are bothering you.
Operating System Upgrades:
Operating System upgrades are distributed by the resellers in packages whose names may contain "Programme A" or "RUU" (to confuse things, RUU stands for "Radio Unit Upgrade", even though they do not upgrade the Radio part but the PDA part). Operating System upgrades are usually 15 MB in size, and unless you use our utility 'adaptROM', they will only install on phones sold by specific resellers in specific markets.
In this community, the OS is sometimes also distributed as .nb1 file, for use with our XDArit tool. These files are often zipped to about 15 MB, uncompressed they are 32MB (well: 32 MB minus 256 kB actually).
We've seen a number of people doing terrible things to their devices by upgrading their OS ROMs. Here's what we've seen:
- It appears someone is distributing an EXE file for the PPC2003 ROM that contains a part of the OS in the spot where the bootloader needs to be. People that use this EXE to upgrade to 2003 may experience problems immediately or later on, possible making their device unusable.
- We've observed our XDArit tool in the hands of people that should not be using it. If you don't know what a DOS box is, or think you can rename .nb1 files to .nb0, or if you generally do not feel technically proficient, do not use XDArit. It's as simple as that.
(We also blame ourselves for this: XDArit is very counter-intuitive in some parts, and is long-due for an overhaul....)
- Apart from the above, there seem to be problems for people getting back from PPC2003 to earlier versions of the OS. We've been busy doing other things, and we haven't really researched this yet.
- It seems the exe files Jeff makes are OK, and if they aren't, people would know pretty quickly. We advise against running exe-files from others until we've found what causes this 'bootloader mangling' we've observed.
Thanks for your warnings. I just checked my device information. It reads rom version 3;14.06 ENG, Rom date 10/01/02, Radio Version T313. Being not technical at all. Your advice is not to upgrade the Rom or de radio version.
But that leaves me with some problems. F.i. when I try to synchronize with Outlook on my pc. I keep losing mails. The only mails being synchronized at all are those from my inbox. A series of attachments cannot be converted and there is no way to know which mails they are in. I was also hoping that a rom-update would solve my constant memory-lack.
Are there any other solutions?

Upgrade radio fail
Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately I read it a bit too late.
I download ROM from O2 site, program A (3.20.06ENG) and program B(4.21). Upgarded my xda with program A, after reset it works. When upgrade the radio program B it hang for half hour. After reset the xda does not boot!
Is there a way i can flash back the ROM so that i can use back my xda?
Original version ROM 3.17.03ENG and radio 3.14.
Thanks in advance.
After upgrad radio from 4.16 to 4.21, My O2 does not reset or hardreset normally. After a long process, I get a blank screen with only input icon on the lowwer right corner. How to fix it now?

If you push the power buttom and than do a hard/cold reset do you get a bootloader ???
If so you need a storage card and put a good rom on it.

Re: Upgrade radio fail
I got a problem yesterday night, while trying to updgrade the ROM with the XDA developers Special Edition ROM v1.2, I got the message from the tool saying it will take up to 5 min and a scroll bar appeared on the XDA and not removing it from its base.
But I accidently removed it (in fact, I caught my foot on the damn wire and everything went to the floor).
Now nothing works, except the diagnostic bootloader when I reset and press on button. Hard reset changes noting.
The screen when I hard-reset it shows the scrollbar that was displayed when I tried to upgrade it.
ActiveSync does not recognize it anymore (PC beeps when the XDA is put in craddle, but it does go further).
Any idea how to put back original ROM content ? I have backup of the content made with Active Sync.
I own a SX-56 and subscribe to Rogers AT&T; I guess my config is identical to a AT&T phone, as it's written on top
Any suggestion will be welcomed

You need a storage card (32 MB or more SD or MMC will do) and a reader/writer for it,
than write a rom on the card, put it in your devices an start the boot loader, than if everthing went good it will ask you if you wanted to update the rom.

Bootloader not recognising sd card image
I am having the same problem. When pressing power and reset, bootloader shows v 5.17 GSM fail.
I have an sd card which has a new bootloader and nb1 file on it. I do a reset with the card in the slot and i get the same screen v517 GSM fail. From what i have read i should be getting an option to upload the new rom.
Can some one help me out please?
If I currently turn the device on normally activesync does not recognise the device.....
The sd card I have was configured using the xdirt programme and it appears to have worked as the sd card is shows not formatted now...
Thanks for all the info and warnings, just got my XDA II today and Im not too hot with it yet so I guess I will be leaving the ROM's alone for the time being

Radio Stack Upgrades:

We have several system where the GSM rom is toast. Is there a way to get a GSM Rom to SD w/o using the PC Monitor program?
The systems will successfully bootup and we have tried loading the GSM rom using RSUpgrade, but it fails after 1%.
Is there any other way to recover the GSM Rom?
You may try speaking to Cgigate on this forum, he has hardware methods of programming the chips directly, whether it works for the radio stack as well as the bootloader and rom you will need to ask him.
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!!!

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.

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.

I have lost the SD card backup before appling the 27 MB anakasy/MKS patch.
I tired to flash using the original clubimate downloaded 1.11 but after the same my STORAGE folder is missing.
Please help to slove this issue...
This is weird. I have twice done the Anansky and then installed another normal ROM on top of it, with no probles whatsoever. Maybe it's the I-mate ROM you are installing that's bad? Have you tried another ROM?
I have tried JAM 1.06 ROM and O2 1.11 ROM but no way get it work. Still same issue with storage.
One thing I noticed that before this issue I can flash the ROM after diabled the activesync and phone is normal mode. Now after this issue I have to switch the phone to boot loader for normal downloaded ROMs to start flashing.
Please help.....

It sounds like you're only flashing the radio+ce. Can you verify that there's a file called ms_.nbf in folder you're updating from?
Yes it contain all the three files ms_.nbf, nk.nbf and radio_.nbf...
I don't think you even should get to a point, where you can see which files are included in the installer. Just download the right ROM for your Magician and run it. Too often we see ppl having problem running a hacked upgrade and instead of just reverting to the original thing, they try to hack some more! Well, not all hacks works...
Other than that, I see 3 options as it is right now...
1. Redo the whole thing! Try to flash the Anansky and see if you can get that going. If you can, try running the normal ROM update afterwards. If it doesn't work...
2. You can ask for a kind soul with the exact same original branding as yours (I-mate, Qtek or whatever and same country) to upload a backup of his ROM. Overwrite the first 416 bytes from your own ROM and try to install this new ROM. If that doesn't work either...
3. Get the ROM flashed in a service centre.
Well.. You have something like ten active threads about this flying all over the net, yet when someone takes the time to try help you, you don't reply. You just move on to the next thread. If you don't take those trying to help you seriously, then I for one won't waste any more time on this...
I have solved my JAM's problem. Backed-up my friend's JAM ROM and restored in my JAM. Now everything working fine. Thanks a lot for all help...

O2 XDA IIi
ROM version: 1.11.00 WWE
ROM date: 01/27/05
Radio version: 1.00.00
Protocol version: 1337.39
ExtROM version: 1.11.923 WWE
i have notice there is a new radio ROM 1.03, how do i upgrade my radio ROM? any online doc? i want to try the new radio rom because my phone signal is worse than 2s
It wont improve your siganl at all but its worth having the newest version ...
You will need to upgrade the whole thing, as you cant just upgrade the radio rom seperately.
check here for Pugs upgrade mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=25801 its on the 2nd or third page in.
Try this (can't be sure if it'll work though so try this at your own risk).
Download this file below:
ftp://xda:[email protected]rs.co...ified XDA_IIi_Upgrade_v1.11.162 Radio_1.3.rar
Un-RAR up the archive using Winrar to a folder on your desktop. Open the folder that you have just extracted and delete MS_.NBF and NK.NBF
Backup all your data (especially contacts and personal documents) to your PC or preferably memory card as updating will essentially perform a hard reset and wipe everything on your alpine (except storage and memory card).
Connect your alpine to your pc and run MaUpgradeUT_noid.exe. The update will fail, just run it a second time and it should work. This should in theory upgrade just the radio stack.
If you're able to upload the ROM update that you are using to the following folder then I will be able to Make sure that the Rom will work before you try it on your alpine. I can't download any of the asia rom's from here but they will be on the CD that came with your alpine.
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/O2 Alpine Roms/Asia Roms/
Thanks in advance if you can do this.

This means your device is in bootloader mode - keep the device connected via actisync and open the file you were installing once again on the oc - should work normally now... be patient

Hi this happened to me during the last two stages (Extended and CE) of upgrade. It seems to cause some kind of power dip through USB as my usb mouse stopped working in one incident. This is what I did to perform the upgrade:
1st attempt:
Followed instructions with MAUpgrade_noid.exe etc.
2nd run of program worked and the re-flash carried on going.
Flash stage 1 (radio stack) OK
Flash Stage 2 (Extended) 34% and power reset.
XDA IIi turned on with hard reset but no customisations (I guess the extended section was corrupt after partial flash).
Started again (from stage 1) and this time reset at 81% during stage 2.
Again the xda turned on ok so this time I removed the radio stack file from the upgrade directory (radio_.nbf - make a copy) this means the flash only upgrades stage 2 and 3.
This time it powered off during winCE upgrade (stage 3). This time the xda just stayed on the splash screen. After initial panic I put the device in bootloader mode (power+rest+action button) and docked it in the cradle. I then removed the extended flash file (ms_.nbf I think) so the only 'nbf' file left in the directory was nk_nbf (winCE) and ran the upgrade program again. The program then went on to upgrade just that part of the rom.
I would like to stress I am not an expert I gleaned this approach from one of the threads in this forum. I had also made a rom backup of my original rom and thought if I cannot get the new one in I knew how to restore the old one.
If I was you I would do the following:
1. Copy the whole directory for the rom.
2. Put the device into bootloader mode.
3. Delete all nbf files other than radio_.nbf and run the upgrade utility.
4. Delete radio_.nbf and copy ms_.nbf from the original directory.
5. Run the upgrade utility again.
6. Delete ms_.nbf and copy nk_.nbf from the original directory.Repeat
7. Run the upgrade utility again.
8. Once all complete hard rest device.
Each time do not touch the xda just leave it in the cradle, swap the nbf file for the next and then run the upgrade program again. If you get a PC reset then start that one upgrade again (with device in bootloader mode).
Anyone who knows their stuff please feel free to ammend or correct the above strategy.
HTH's

anyone know how long this upgrade should take?
The upgrades normally take me 30 minutes or so. 45 to get all my software back on it.
To stop these update errors due to power dips, plug the cradle into the the mains using the power adaptor and this will stop the device drawing any significant power from the usb connection from your computer. This power dip is more likely caused by a "dirty" power supply, which in the UK for certain is unavoidable without the use of UPS devices. The power adapter for the phone will damp out any minor fluctuations and leave the usb socket to do just data transfer. This transfer puts little strain on the usb socket and isn't as prone to power fluctuations then.
By doing this you should be able to update in a one-er. Also try using a laptop rather than a desktop as they are by design less prone to power fluctuations too.
upgraded fine nice one

I wonder will the universal rom work on the qtek 2020i?
I dont know if this has been asked yet
It wont work ... ROMs for each device are pretty much device specific, they need the right drivers etc embedded so it works.
So even though the XDA II looks exactly like the XDA IIi they are completely different, which also means the Universal is completely different too.
