Lost rom SD card backup file-How to original downloaded rom?

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...

HTC Alpine radio 1.04!!!

Here is rom with new Radio ROM 1.04
http://extendedsystems.dk/download/qtek/2020i/WWE_Sonofon_11100_165_10400_Ship.exe
Enjoy

Thank for the new radio, but some how I got country erro on the processing upgrade.
Please Help.

is this for the xda 2i please ..only asking as i'm not sure
thanks

This rom is only for Alpine phones, thats the 2i, 2020i etc.
As soon as my broadband is working again (tomorrow hopefully) I'll post the O2 162 rom with the radio 1.04 update for the UK users and anyone else who wants it.
If you want to try this update on the 2i you will need to extract the files from the installer and locate a copy of maupgradeut_noid.exe and use that instead of the included installer. There are better instructions elsewhere on this site, just do a search for my name, I'll be in amongst it all somewhere.

cheers i'll give it a go but if you are doing it maybe i'll wait ,i've only just gone back to your old 1 tonight as i don't use blackberry & it seemed better than o2 update

I have just posted the ROM upgrade on the ftp site, the only change is the radio from 1.03 to 1.04. It seems to give a better signal strength than version 1.03 on my phone anyway.
Here's the link to download the O2 version I just combined
(Edited to working link
ftp://xda:[email protected] XDA_IIi_Upgrade_v1.11.162_Radio_1.04.rar
1: Backup your contacts/device to Storage, Storage Card or PC. If you are using Ext Rom 1.11.162 now you can use full device backup to restore at the end to save you re-installing all your programs later.
2: Extract the ROM using Winrar to a folder of your choice.
3: Run MaUpgradeUT_Noid.exe. The install will fail, don't worry, just run it again without touching the phone.
4: When the upgrade has finished, do a hard reset by pressing the power button and reset button at the same time.
5: Install any programs and any data you backed up during step 1.
Good luck.

Excellent stuff
Upgraded and now running 1.04 radio and i can also say it has improved my signal strength too
Big thanks Pug for your work on the ROM image too, very much appreciated.

Hear, Hear. Many thanks to Pug, great work!

many thanks to Pug,
its work perfectly.....no more lag of ringtones or lag after green button pushed!! thanks Pug.....
i want to know about backup, after upgrade ROM, i cant restore back by backup. When using Backup Sprite, i will go back to old ROM after restore complete. any ideas????

@ Clustered
When you say it goes back to the old rom do you mean that the Radio rom is regerted back to 1.03 or that your extended rom goes back to 192 or whichever you are using?
Sprite backup should not revert the radio rom back to 1.03 as it should only do the file system of your device.
As far as the extended ROM version, all it is there for is to indicate the "update" status of the extended ROM and what software is installed in it. An asian rom may have a higher rom version but may be no newer or better than the european 162 rom. You're talking about comparing hedgehogs to wibbles, completely arbitary. As soon as you cook the extended ROM like I have it is completely meaningless anyway as the version number is no longer valid.
If you wish to change the version number yourself, use a registry editor and go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\3RDVERSION and change the MSYSTEM value to whatever you like.
If I have the wrong end of the stick, I apologise otherwise I hope this helps.

huh!? are u mad at me ??? anyway, i just wanna tell that you're the great! thanks very much....

I'm not mad at you, just woke up from a night shift....bloody binmen.
Was just trying to figure out which rom was reverting and so on. Hope it was of use to you anyway.
Once again, sorry.

HELP!
I Can't Upgrade the ROM.
step 1 is OK (radio)
Step 2 is OK (EXT):
Step 3 to 8 % PC show : Error 112: CE ROM UPDATE ERROR
WHY???
i run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe second Time , but frist Run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe Need to STOP(use TASK Manager)??
PLEASE HELP ME

thanks for the update ..it's upgrading at the moment

thanks for the update, the only problem i'm having is that even though i've got the in call volume as low as it will go it is still too loud to be comfortable which is a big change from the previous rom. Also when using in the car on handsfree the other person can hear his voice echoing as they speak. Any ideas????

Successfully upgraded my XDAIIi.....
I'm now with the latest ROM from O2 UK (1.11.169 WWE) and the Radio version 1.04.00

Hi, I'm from Malaysia and will this rom be able to use on my device?
I'm using XDA IIi and device id is PH10C.
I'm affraid there will be a problem for my local operator "Maxis".

@ ramnkc
To be honest I can't see a problem with this ROM working with your current operator. I'm pretty sure that others from your neck of the woods are using the ROM with no problems. The biggest problem you would have is that it wouldn't load all your GPRS, WAP, MMS, etc settings as it is a UK rom.
Make sure you can get hold of these settings off your current provider before you perform the upgrade. Or as an alternative, extract your current ROM and reload it back onto your phone using SD card.

thanks for the reply !
Well i guess i gonna wait for the official release coz so far i'm happy with it. Apart of the constant SD Card data missing after playback mid, mp3 or what ever music files from SD Card.
And i finally found out that it cause by SBP pocketplus which had an option to close all application once you tab on X. Once i turn that option off in pocket plus so far problem free.
Guys/gals out there have this problem ?

ykyloveu - Does this mean you have BB Connect as well? The only modified rom from here I can download is based on cer .112 The new rom for o2 with BBConnect is ver .169

Dopod 818 pro -> Imate Jamin (ROM Update) can anyone help

I have a
Dopod 818 Pro, and i would like to upgrade it using imate JAMIN's ROM.
does this void my orignal dopod warranty ? and if yes how do i overcome it ?
can someone please provide me with the steps needed to upgrade.
thanks

Don't know about the warranty but you could always resume back your original Dopod ROM if you have done a ROM backup before upgrading to a new ROM.
There is a Thai website that describes how to backup your original ROM and to upgrade to Imate JAMin ROM. Unfortunately, it's in Thai language but the pictures may help.
http://www.pdamobiz.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52433&PN=1
The most important part is at the end of the post and this is in English:
Steps to Up Rom:
1. Unlock CID (follow this link)
2. Backup original 818Pro Rom (follow the link to backup ROM to SD)
3. Enter Boot Loader (follow this link)
4. Run file JAMin_WWE_1000925_10009114_11420_ship.exe then Next, and next until finish.
Hope this helps.

thanks it worked
i used awizard to backup my rom instead
then ran the exe file and it upgraded with no problems at all
but one concern, there are pre-installed apps there that cannot be run, i get an error message saying "can not run on this device", does this mean i need a genuine imate to run it on ? , anyone knows how to fix this ?

I didn't see that problem when I ran the ROM update last week.

i used the arabic rom version, it comes with 7 apps for arabic
maybe it only works for imate, not the dopod

@Khuanchai
I'm also trying to switch my Chinese system to English. So I tried the Jamin version but no success since i think i'm missing a lot of info for the right process.
I went to the Thai website you mention but I don't get a word of it...!
The short english version you give doesn't have active links so not enough information for me (its all pretty new for me...)
Any help welcome. Thanks !

Please try again:
1. Unlock CID: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33796&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
2. Backup original 818Pro Rom: http://www.pdamobiz.com/show_news.asp?NewsID=47377
3. Enter Boot Loader: press Camera + Reset, hold camera button until you see 3-colors bands on the dopod screen
4. Run file JAMin_WWE_1000925_10009114_11420_ship.exe then Next, and next until finish.
Good luck!

Khuanchai,
I understand that flashing the Dopod 818 Pro with IMate's rom will overwrite the extended rom with IMate's version. Does following the procedures to backup the Dopod rom to sd card and then restoring from it restore Dopod's extended rom back into the unit as well?

Yes, but with the procedures described in that link, you will have the whole ROM backup. If you use that backup file to restore ROM, it will restore everything back not only the Extended_rom. However, you can backup each part of the ROM separately, for examples, use os option to backup OS ROM only, use gsm option to backup radio ROM only, or use extrom option to backup Extended_rom only. You will then have separate ROM backup files and you can restore back any part separately.

So how did it work?
What were your thoughts on performance, stability?

no that much speed difference

Extended ROM not writeable.

I recently used a cab to unhide the extended rom on my o2 mini s. That worked with no problem. When I try ti install programs to the rom they keep failing. Any idea?
ROM version: 2.26.10.2 WWE
ROM date: 6/7/06
Radio version: 02.25.11
Protocol version: 4.1.13.12
Thanks

yes you can not write anything to the rom (Read only Memory). And if you search you can find some programmes that let you redo it, but if you dont know what you are doing i would not play!

Thanks...Would you know where I can find this info? Before I upgraded my ROM, I used the 10mb from the ext rom quite a bit.

On original shipping ROMs, the Extended ROM is only hidden, not protected in any other way. It can be accessed by using Total Commander and manually entering the directory "\Extended_ROM\" without the quotes. On the new AKU2 ROMs the Extended ROM is locked and a solution has not been found - you currently cannot delete or modify the contents.

Another way is to cook your own Extended Rom your computer and put it back to your Wizard Device. This way you could customise your won Extended Rom.

where are the Shipped ROM files

hey all,
i was trying to restore my MDA II back to default ROM of 1.66 and checked out the download area and it is mostly empty, where did the ROM files go?
Cheers
