A method to fix corrupted GSM ROM xda.

Hello here is a way that i have just used to fix my 900/1800 (O2) xda.
You first need a SD Card reader/writer and an SD card.
Download RSU_ENG.exe from here. -- SORRY URL NOT WORKING --
Run the .exe and unpack PROGRAMME B to a location.
Copy the RSUpgrade.sa.CAB file onto your SD card and then onto your XDA. Run the cab file and the program will install and then reset your XDA and then the upgrade process will begin.
I recommend taking out any SIM cards before upgrading cause it may stall it, but even if it does just soft reset and try again.
Hope this helps.

What rom version is there on the dutch O2 side?
You are mentioning a download of a rom file from the dutch o2 site.
O2 Netherlands didn't give any updates for a long time.
Is this a recent ROM?
Thanks
Conrad

Yes is appears to be quite recent.
The versons are 3.15.15 for the PDA and 4.16 for the GSM Rom.
The directory the files are in is only a few days old by the looks.

Thanks
Eladsalad thanks for your work and info

Update disappeared?!
It looks like O2 Netherlands has removed the update from it's server.
Anybody knows where to get it?
FvH

-edit-

ok ive started up an ftp server for probably the next 24-48 hrs so people can download rsu_eng.exe to repair their gsm roms.

FTP IS GONE.

Yes sure you can write to me. Keep in mind though that i am not part of xda-developers, they are the real experts.
Yes, those are both the correct software versions.

thx, downloaded it seconds after you put it up again

btw it's 3.14.15, not 3.15.15

I beg you a pardon,
it IS 3.15.15

yes they are english versions.
if anyone is in genuine need of these file in order to repair a broken XDA pls send me a private msg and i will try and help out.

I've tried to upgrade the ROM and something gone wrong.
Now I have a XDA with a CE version but no Radio or protocol.
Can anybody tell what to do?
When I reboot the XDA I get one first screen (with the O2 logo) with only one version nr. 3.16.13. After one minute, above the 3.16.13 I get a R and above a G without any numbers. after that I get a blank screen whit a blue bar on top.
Please help me

i-mate's ROM update K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship

Guys n gals,
I was browsing around the i-mate FTP site this afternoon and have found what looks to be two K-JAM ROM updates. I have checked the actual website however theres no mention of the updates there as yet.
The filenames / versions are:
K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship.zip
K-JAM_Arabic_2160901_21609102_20710_ship.zip
I-mate owners, go get em... ftp://ftp.clubimate.com
Chris
p.s. dont expect to get em in a hurry, the ftp site is currently only letting me download at around 6 - 7 KB /s :?

Good catch! I've got a jasjar myself so I cant help testing this, but nice one none-the-less If just had a look, and as of now, there arent any un-announced jasjar roms I'll keep looking though!

Yeah they have only posted the K-JAM updates so far. I actually find this a bit strange as the jasJar was released before the K-JAM yet we get AKU2 before JasJar does :?
It seems i have disadvantaged myself by announcing this before i finished downloading it as i'm watching the download get slower and slower as presumably more people read this post and begin to download.
Oh well, i'm just glad they have released it, even if it does take me all nite to get it lol.

does anybody tried it jet?

I'll tell you how it goes in about 30 minutes when i have done the update.
Chris

upload to ftp here
allthough I cant get to the FTP from work .
I wonder if it will be better then the current QTEk rom ?

done. storage: 37.35 free, program: 27.10 free.

..very nice comm manager. with phone off...

Is this an reliable ROM? I'm now using the original ROM from T-Mobile. 26 minutes and I could test by myself

you can also download from the http server

http://www.clubimate.com/support/KJAM/ROM/K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship.zip

ok i go upgrading now
i come back later for comments

I suppose E-Mail Push and A2DP are included in this update?
Did anybody already test if it is possible to roll back to an earlier ROM Version? Is it possible to delete the Extended ROM?

Does this have AKU2?

i will have a look, hold on

it has aku2, it is available as separate cab installer in extended rom

you get notified if you want to install the ext rom or not !!
cool..
Ohh uhmm Push mail is in it

Excellent
Means SP5/m updates should follow shortly then I hope.

Storage 44.16mb free
Program 26.62 free
without ext rom installed

Is it possible to make this ROM in Dutch? With the use of the original ROM?

Don't you think this ROM is costing us another 4 MB of Program Memory.
If I remember correctly immediately after a fresh install / hard reset of the previous version on my Jasjar would give me 31MB of free program memory. I presume that the memory footprint of the Jasjar and Wizard are not much different and if it is now down to 26 to 27 MB as quoted above, implies that the new ROM is at least 3 to 4 MB heavier in terms of free program memory.
Anyways now I am anxiously waiting before they release a ROM Upgrade for the Jasjar.
Regards

Sprite Backup Tool

Hi,
Anyone have this tool from HTC, HTC Touch Diamond - Sprite Backup Tool.
Its on the UK site but i have orange diamond so unable to download.
If anyone has it can you upload it so others can use it.
Many many thanks

its over 400 mb, so, you will have to find a way to download it yourself from HTC support website
as far as i know, everything you need is serial number of the phone

if someone could download it
and make a torrent...that would be nice

Here is a version directly from the (german) o2 Homepage:
Don't know if it only contains the german language, but you might want to give it a try
http://www.o2online.de/nw/assets/blobs/software/xdadiamond-sprite-backup-update.exe
Link to the page itself:

Greetings...

I also have HTC diamond from 02, Germany. But I flashed my language to English. Now 02 is giving updates which also includes the battery.
Does anybody have the similar situation like me and tried this 'sprite'. if so kindly let me know.
Thank you!

Not quite true, due to the fact that certain operator locked phones (and their serials) can't download Sprite tool from HTC, but are directed to their operator...
I am in a similar situation, as can be read from here
If the XDA WWE file could be made available I would be extremely grateful! And that is 'only' a few megabytes *cheers*

Didn't work for me since the installation requires the branded ROM version (guessing the O2 version) -> installation aborted for me.

Try this, its the commercial sprite version $29.99 though there is a free trial period...
HTC if you read these posts, Get your act together, your stuff just gets cracked and hijacked anyway. Find a new business model that allows us to use your stuff....

Sprite Support are Helpful
I had some problems when I got my Fuze. I already owned Sprite and got the free version that came with the phone mixed up with it. They were very helpful and sent me the correct CAB just to make sure I was installing the right one.
I have no complaints about them or their product.

Official Update is on the Norway Support Page

I wonder when the rest will follow.

Version number is the same as the leaked one. The page doesn't accept the serial number I entered (perhaps because mine was a UK phone?). Can someone report whether there is any difference between this ROM and the leaked one?

Well I think this update is for Nordic only. It's at the danish site too

yeah but it only shows the general build number. the are more detailed numbers when you actually check out the build on the hero.
so somebody has to update the official rom and post the detailed build infos here.

It seems impossible to download the new image using firefox on linux. Is HTC so bent on MS products that they won't support downloads with a non-MS browser, or is the support-page just broken?

U need Windows to do it

There is something strange going on on HTC Support site. Pages are not showing download links. Will probably be fixed soon.

Hope not. I ditched windows 15 years ago and don't intend to install it anywhere just to be able to maintain a linux-device
Jokes aside, I believe it will be possible to extract an update.zip that can be installed the same way as MoDaCo's custom rom, although that method will remain unsupported by HTC.

will this update work with a non branded hero? being that the update is posted on the norway webpage

just installer the nordic, sweden update. awesome. Major difference in the entire feel of the OS.

Did it perform a system reset? Need to know whether I need to save my files or not.

yes it did, wiped everything on the phonememory. I used mybackup to back it all up.

What backup software did you use?

I have a SIM unlocked HTC Hero and i'm in the UK. Should I wait for the official UK ROM or just install the nordic one? Has anyone got any experience in installing the Nordic ROM to a non-nordic hero?

axe look the topic above you
Mybackup is great to back up everything (except scenes).

Upgrade of ROM for Magic from official HTC website

Hello. I've bought HTC Magic recently. It is version 32a, as it has 288 MB of RAM.
Currently the build version is 2.16.*
So I wanted to download and upgrade to latest rom version 2.20.401.2 from HTC.
After putting my S/N HT97******** it shows me Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device..
Is here anyone who could help me please?

If you **** around too much on the htc home pages you do not get to download any update. I do not know why it is so but so it was with me,
So turn off your browser to try again. or get a new IP address
Or **** in the slow updates and root your phone it takes five minutes. Then your phone will be double as fast .???????????

OK, I've tried changing the browser, deleting browser's cache, reconnecting to the other wifi (so other IP), but all without success.. Thanks anyway Any other suggestions please?

Try to morrow.

Kk, but I don't think it's the reason because it didn't work already when I visited HTC website for the very first time and as I wrote, I tried it with different IPs, browsers etc.. but anyway, I'll give it a try
