Problems updating ROM, I need help, please.

I'm trying to upgrade my XDA with ROM version 3.14.16 GER (Model number PW10A1) with the upgrade file (v3.17.03) downloaded from O2 UK website (I mean, I would like to change the language only). When I execute the upgrade file runs ok, but after several steps occurs the following error: ERROR 007: NO ROM IMAGE FILE. Cannot find the ROM image to upgrade your Pocket PC.
I also have tried with XDA Os Image tool (downloaded from this web) with Source:...NK.nbf and Destination: Device Memory (via Programme A) but there is another error: Programme A not found -run with '--register' error openenig target device (but Porgramme A is installed on my PC).
Thanks in advance.

What language are you trying to change to?

Now it's in german, I want to change to english.

Ok I suggest you upgrade to the Qtek 1010 ROM
http://www.carrierdevices.com.au/downloads/asiapacific.htm
Download Radio Upgrade File : RSUv1.15_(GPRS_T32500_ENG).exe
The D/L comes with both the ROM and the Radio Stack Upgrade last time I checked so just do the ROM.
or you can go with the XDA developers Special Edition ROM v1.2
http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe
http://www.xs4all.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe
either way your ROM will changed to English.

Thank you very much but I've tried the two ways. The first one doesn`t work because there is only the Radio Stack Upgrade file and with the second one I've got the same error than before, ERROR 007: NO ROM IMAGE FILE. What I'm doing wrong?

I don't know anything about the German ROM, but what about using the SD card flash method? It lets you get around the Programme A problems that occur with ROM's such as those from T-Mobile.

I don`t know very well that method. What I have to do? Do I have to do a copy of the ROM file to SD card first and then copy it to the ROM of XDA from the SD card?
Thanks a lot.

Basically I linked to the information necessary to do SD card flashes from this thread, as well as covering other issues with changing ROM's, such as with the bootloader (5.17 is an extra technicality) : http://xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3860. You will need an SD card reader which shows your SD card as an extra drive in explorer.
Let us know if you have further problems.

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.
C U @ Mallorca

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

ROM 3.17.03 ENG (original from O2 web site)
RSU 4.21.00 (original from O2 web site)
to upgreade downloaded from
ftp://tmobile:[email protected]:21
but the InstallShield shows this errore message:
=================================
ERROR 012 : CHECK ERROR
The ROM Image that you are trying to upgrade is not compatible with your Pocket PC.
Please compare the device and upgrade information below.

What means "Model: PW10B1" ?
How can i upgrade my O2 XDA I to WM2003?
thanks in advance

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
gaz

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.

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

Thank you

The traditional Chinese ROM is no longer found in the above servers. Some selfish people must have deleted it after they got the ROM, and perhaps, they use it for their own business and ask money !!!
Can someone repost the ROM and stop these selfish people?

URL for uploading dopod-103cht.bin
Please provide an URL for me to upload the traditional chinese rom. Furthermore, I don't know how to refresh this rom to my XdaII mini. Can someone teach me ?
Frankie

Oh Come On,..... I really need the Trad.Chinese Rom
I cant get into the FTP

The file is uploading to forum.xda-developers.com/Magician/Tradition Chinese
But it is a bin file after extract. I don't know how to refresh it to my rom. Anyone can help me ?

try ntrw write dopod-103cht.bin E:
*E: is your SD reader/writer then i should write to SD card
I try it on my Blue Angel is say the Rom format is Magician
so i guess it will do fine
Just lemme know how you getting on, if work for you i will replace my blue angel with Magician

Tried but stalled. It said Sections=1 Not allow update !
How to solve????

no idea as i do not had a Magician myself
try found a way to extract .bin into .nb1 or nk.nbf...etc

The upgrade method is exactly same as t-mobile MDA compact german to english. But remember to replace the first 416 bytes of dopod-1.03_CHT.bin from your original rom by Hex editor. :lol:

now under the same link u can download the simple chinese rom, 1.30chs

The file size of the traditional rom is only 119M. I followed exact procedures mentioned but still get the same error. I wonder if the Chinese Rom is the corect/full version...

It is a full version including radio rom and ext_rom. I have no problem to refresh my rom to traditional chinese by replacing the first 416 bytes of dopod rom. :?:

It is 7.6m rom. If you want 24m storage, try dopod 1.06 CHT. I highly recommend it.

Use SD card method to fresh it. It includes radio and ext rom.

Thanks gd5gd...thanks also your PM reply.
BTW, do you know how to change the Startup pic?

have a question on the difference between the dopod rom and mini rom. the download for the original mini rom is at 80+ megs and uncompressed is a 120 meg file? Why is the original mini rom so large and its also 1 file only while the dopod version is multiple files. Sorry for newbie questions here.
also why is dopod rom superior to the original mini rom?

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??
