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 )
I have a Dopod C858 that is from China. It currently has the Chinese version of Windows Mobile 5.0 and I am looking for an English upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.0. I tried using the RUU for the HTC P4350 but it came up as a Model ID Error and I couldn't continue. I tried doing a CID Unlock using IMEI check but they don't support the Dopod C858. Does anyone have any ideas? Oh and one more thing. Currently, the Comm Manager on my Dopod does not have the WiFi option. I noticed after I did a hard reset that when it was loading the .cab for Comm Manager, it displayed something like no_wifi.cab. Did Dopod Asia purposely disable Wifi?
EDIT: I contacted IMEI Check and they helped me out by enabling my IMEI. My device is now supposedly "CID Unlocked."
QQ group 33128089
Any luck with finding this via QQ? I have the same need...
Here is what I did: I CID Unlocked my phone using IMEI Check and downloaded the DOPOD Rom file located here. After that follow these directions and you should have an english rom:
Tools you need:
==============- HexWorkshop from here
- the ROM of your choice
- Winzip or Winrar
- a valid UNL file for YOUR phone
Preparation:
===========a) install HexWorkshop and Winzip or Winrar on your pc
b) in explorer on pc, RIGHT click on the ROM of your choice and use:
"Extract files to folder ..." from conext menu Now it will unpack all
the
files
c) in the new folder you will have ONE file like "HRUU_signed.NBH"
(*.NBH)
RIGHT click on the .NBH file and use: "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from
context menu
d) You'll see on the 5th row HERA10000
==!!! make it HERA***** (5 stars) and save the file
e) Now RIGHT click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe and use: "Hex Edit with Hex
Workshop" from conext menu
Search for text "BsaD5SeoA" (without quotes, case sensitive)
OVERWRITE "BsaD5SeoA" with "IMEICHECK" (without quotes) and save the
file
ROM-Update:
==========
1) take SIM card and SD card OUT of the phone
2) Connect the phone running windows ce to the pc (normal way).
3) Completely Unlock your phone using our unlocker **
4) After phone is unlocked run unlocker (again) BUT when the unlocker
ask
for UNL file, remove the USB cable from the phone THEN press "Cancel"
on the
unlocker select file window (unlocker will close on PC). NOTE: The
screen on
the device will not show something usefull when in this mode. Most
probably
it is complete WHITE. !!THIS IS NORMAL!! Don't touch phone, let it like
it
is!
5) After you closed the unlocker, attach usb cable again (phone has
still
white screen)
6) start (the modified) ROMUpdateUtility.exe
7) when update finished and device started you will get a message:
"Data Crashed, contact service provider" (-*!NO PANIC!*-)
==Simply fix this problem by running the unlocker again and this time
select the key file normal way (full unlock process again).
The only problem is that the ROM is WM5 and there is still no Wifi.
Credit goes out to the IMEI-Check Team who provided me with the instructions!
Great, thanks for the info.
One question -- can you use the steps outlined to upgrade to WM6?
I was able to install WM6 before, using "aserg way", but the radio didn't work b/c the radio rom was not updated as part of the flashing process.
The way I understand it, if I can unlock my device and use the process you listed, I should be able to use a RRU which has an updated radio rom. After that, I should be able to sucessfully update to wm6.
What do u think?
I tried flashing a couple of WM6 roms but both of them didn't work. One stopped at 2% (Invalid Model ID) and the other one gave me an "Invalid Command." I currently have radio version 2.71.90, do you think it will work with WM6? If so, can u provide me with instructions on how to flash to WM6 using the aserg method?
Last time I tried upgrading to WM6, I found a cooked rom posted on this forum, and used 'aserg's' method to update it w/o updating the radio rom.
The method basically involves using a tool called 'awizard' along with a few other small utilities. The instructions should be easy to find on the forum here, let me know if you can't find them.
But before you do that, verify your radio is up to date. There is a minimum radio version you need to have (a search for radio rom on the windows mobile 6 forum should turn it up) before you can fully use a wm6 rom. The only known way to update the radio rom is to install an RRU package (which it seems like you've been able to do).
Currently, I'm waiting for my purchase & id to be validated with IMEI check.
Once that's done, I'll start with the steps you listed and try to get my radio rom up to date. After that, I'll select a rom, and do whatever it takes to get the rom installed.
I'll record all the steps I take as I do it, and post my results.
Don't worry -- I won't waste any time here, I've been waiting to update my device for a long time.
i'll be waiting right here. good luck!
oh and another thing, i am currently using this rom (ROM ver. 1.8.405.1). it gives you radio version 2.71.90.
It appears we need to find an RRU which includes a radio rom of 2.79 or higher.
We both currently have radio roms at 2.71.90, which is not good good enough for WM6.
I'm guessing we could use one of the posted upgrades (look in list of available official shipped rom's) and upgrade, even if we can't find one in english.
Afterwards we should be able to upgrade to wm6 of the appropriate langauge.
i read somewhere that one of the german ones has an updated radio rom. would you be volunteering to try first?
Yah, I found a few RRU's which contain a 2.79 version of the radio. I still need to wait for IMEI to verify me before I can continue with the process though.
btw... what time zone are you in? (I also bought my device in China, I live in Shanghai right now)
i'm in shanghai right now too!
i'm wondering if you can answer this for me. i don't know why some roms work and others don't. I currently have ROM version 1.8.405.1 WWE. Before that I successfully installed ROM version 1.7.707.3. I tried to install 5.4.405.1 but that didn't work. Am I supposed to install the updates in order of their release?
The order shouldn't matter. But, now I'm concerned -- because 5.4.405.1..etc is precisely the way to upgrdade to wm6 (since it has the 2.79 radio rom).
How did that update fail? Did you try updating after first unlocking your phone, or did your failure happen before you unlocked?
it gives me this after i try to upgrade: ERROR [300] : INVALID UPDATE TOOL
I've tried the steps you outlined above against several different roms... I get "invalid command" at 2% every time.
How frustrating... I'm guessing the steps IMEIcheck provided to update the 'updater' don't work with roms newer than a certain version.
Can you ask your contact there if they can provide updated steps which work with newer roms?
Seriously... i just paid like 40 bucks to unlock my phone.
I was _already_ running an english rom after flashing using aserg's way (an older htc wwe release), so I'm failing to see any advantage to having cid unlocked my phone.
I don't want to give up... I've already spent contless hours trying to figure out how to get past every minor error...
i'm in the same boat as you dude. this rom worked for me, but again, its version 1.8.405.1. None of the newer ones work. I just emailed my contact and i guess we can only wait and see what he can come up with. Another thing, have you enabled wifi on your device? I have a wifi button on my Comm Manager but when I tap it it tries to launch but then nothing happens. I read about a registry edit to fix this but my registry was different.
Can someone put some instructions how to flash our diamond 2 ?
Please help.
Me too!
I've also been reading through a lot of material from xda but aren't confident enough to jump into messing with my diamond2 just yet.
A tutorial/guide would be a big help if someone has the time.
Cheers
Have finally just gotten around to flashing my Diamond 2 for the first time (used to flash my Orbit all the time). And it really is a piece of cake.
1st..... you MUST flash the HardSPL Unlocker to your phone. You can get it in THIS THREAD. It's at the foot of post #1. Also, READ the first two posts of that thread so that you make no mistakes. But in a nutshell:
Download and unzip the Unlocker file;
Sync your phone to the PC;
Run the HardSPL Unlocker from your PC; (Sync connection may be lost at this point so if your PC says new USB device found, say yes to establishing a new connection)
When the flash is complete, your phone will re-boot;
To confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (tricolour screen!) and verify the screen shows 1.83.OliNex, which is the Hard-SPL version.
With that done, you are now ready to flash the ROM to your phone. Easiest and safest way is Bootloader method which is best described by duttythroy. So download the ROM you want to try, unzip it and if it's not already so named change the name of it to TOPAIMG.NBH. Copy that file to an empty SD and place the card in your phone and follow the instructions below:
duttythroy said:
SAFEST WAY TO FLASH YOUR ROM IS THROUGH STORAGE CARD METHOD:
* Copy TOPAIMG.NBH into the root dir of your Storage Card.
* Be sure to have at least 30% of charge.
* Turn off your device by using the Power Button.
* Go to Boot loader mode. Push and hold Vol. Down + press Power button.
* After that your device with have a white screen with text " Press to power button for continue upgrade or Press Volume down button for cancel upgrade , select press to power button and it will start upgrade Rom.

When the flash is complete do a soft reset and away you go!
It really is that simple
2 Questions:
- My htc diamond 2 is a free phone, not a operator phone (locked). I have to apply the HardSPL Unlocker ? What for?
- The bootloader method works on a htc original 6.5 rom ? I have to rename the file rom becasuse this is a .exe file?
orry for this questions but i don´t want make mistakes.
Thanks to all.
Hi again,
Not too sure about a free phone needing HardSPL, try searching that thread for more info.
As for renaming the ROM to TOPAIMG.NBH, that is so the bootloader knows that it is an Image to install. All ROMs (to my knowledge) are .NBH files so an .exe file would be of no use.

This message is now updated with a 100% working, and quick way of changing your language for the X2 device. I have now tested with 4 different languages (fi, en, se and de), and all worked. I also updated the cabs to report to the Update Software that the phone has an old versison. Now it does not compalin that the latest version is installed!
I have tested with these languages: GENERIC_FI, GENERIC_SE, GENERIC_UK and GENERIC_DE. The rest of the cabs are created with the same rules, so they should work to (if not, then please post here which cab does not work).
Before you upgrade, please write down the following info and fill it into the form on the download-page!! I really want this info.
I would like to know which all versions are out there, and how they are connected to the different ID:s and versions!
Code:
Software ID:
Software Version:
Customization ID:
Customization version:
Language Region:
Content version Software language:
In what country the phone is bought:
Otherwise i have to put a special form that requires everyone to fill in this info before you can proceed to download..
Just follow these steps
Get one of these cabs, and save it on yout SD-card (not phone, becaue you will erase the memory during this procedure!):
x2_generic_be.cab
x2_generic_cn.cab
x2_generic_cz.cab
x2_generic_de.cab
x2_generic_dk.cab
x2_generic_en.cab
x2_generic_es.cab
x2_generic_fi.cab
x2_generic_fr.cab
x2_generic_gr.cab
x2_generic_in.cab
x2_generic_it.cab
x2_generic_mea.cab
x2_generic_nl.cab
x2_generic_no.cab
x2_generic_pl.cab
x2_generic_pt.cab
x2_generic_ru.cab
x2_generic_se.cab
x2_generic_sg.cab
x2_generic_tw.cab
x2_generic_uk.cab
x2_sony_us.cab
x2_vodafone_es.cab
x2_polkomtel_pl.cab
Save the cab on your SD-card
Reset the memory of your phone (settings->Clear phone)
After the reboot, you have to align the screen. When finished, the phone starts to install cabs. NOW remove the battery (or press the reset-button on the back of the phone) so that the custom cabs wont get installed
Start the phone again. Now when you get a screen that asks you if you want to continut the installation process, click NO. The phone boots up to default windows mobile with no SE panels etc.
Now install the custom language-cab you downloaded to your SD-card earlier
Turn off the phone
Start the phone and keep the vol-down + power button down till you come tho the white SE screen.
Start the SE Update Software, pick your X2 and click next. Connect the phone to the USB-cable when the software asks you to do so.
After a while, the update-software informs that there is a new software-update available. Just hit next/continue and confirm that the phone's data will be erased.
There is NO need to remove any files on windows, The update software starts to automatically fetch the ROM that matches the installed custom-CAB
Now you notice that the update-software starts to download the new ROM (over 125Mb). If for some reason the upgrade does not start to install (eg. one case was with a demo X2 phone), then just let the phone complete the custom cab-installation It does a factory-reset before it resumes the install)
Below are the different language-versions available. I have not yet had time to create cabs for other languages, but if you need a specific language, then post to this thread a request so that i can create a custom cab for that language.
It would be nice if you would report to this thread if you succeed or not with this upgrade!
So, here is a list of available regions that i simply picked up from listigs of ROM:s To get the MR2-release, it has to have been released by SE...
Code:
Belgium - GENERIC_BE
Czech - GENERIC_CZ
Danish - GENERIC_DK
Dutch - GENERIC_NL
English (Generic) - GENERIC_EN
English (UK) - GENERIC_UK
Finnish - GENERIC_FI
French - GENERIC_FR
German - GENERIC_DE
Greek - GENERIC_GR
Indian - GENERIC_IN
Middle East - GENERIC_MEA
Polish - GENERIC_PL
Portuguese - GENERIC_PT
Russian - GENERIC_RU
Singapore - GENERIC_SG
Spanish - GENERIC_ES
Swedish - GENERIC_SE
Taiwan - GENERIC_TW
etc...
Needless to say that you do these tweaks on your own risk
There are two other files that go along with this, and i can confirm that it did not work for me.
ill see if i can get the other file names. but i belive there may be another thread floatinga round that has suggested this as well.
Do you mean this one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6522684&postcount=56
The second file contained a readme

I guess you are trying to install the russian version, right?
What you showed on the above screencapture is an Uk-version of the X2.
To figure out more precisely what went wrong, you need to confirm to me that you followed all steps i have explained in the first post of this thread.
i gave my phone back to the seller because it was prototype version of the x2

I think that the hardware is the same, but with an old software.
Did you
Reset the phone
Cancel the installation of the cabs after aligning the screen?
Install the generic_ru cab?
I did this, and i had an russian x2 with the latest R3A software...
So my opinion is that you gave back a great phone!
.
yes i did like you but still was the same.
now i'm going to buy SE X10

I had a couple of times that the update did not work on the first time. What i did was that i rebooted the phone, and when it asked if i want to continue the cancelled update-process i answer yes. Now the phone asks you to accept a reset. After accepting, the phone reboots, and you are at stage one again when the phone asks you to align the screen. Again when finished, cancel the update-process by removing the battery.
Now install your generic_XX cab (download a fresh copy of it!).
Now reboot your phone at least one time. What you could do is paste the content of the following files (you can get to them via ActiveSync):
\windows\swVersionCust.txt
\windows\swvercust.txt
\windows\swVersionProduct.txt

Thank you for your solution, i think soft-reset after installing cab is mandatory.
All work as you describe, I've just flashed my X2 from English to Russian.

Great to hear that this worked I have now for fun installed 5 different languages
Spanish Cab
Thank you for the amazing work.
Is posible get the spanish cab for the procedure ??
Regards,
Eric
thanks hertell
since we don't have SPL yet, I suggest this thread being stickyed
Some suggestions:
1.- a spanish CAB ??
2.- many users vahe tryed and tryed everything before with no success, which means their PC SEUS SOFTWARE IS ALREADY MARKED with their current I-wanna-get-rid-of language. this prevents the installation of a new language...
May I suggest you to include anohter step into your guide:
UNINSTALL SEUS FROM THE PC and reinstall it after the lang CAB has been installed
OR
delete folder C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db

Regarding the re-installation of SEUS, or deleting the files, i say that that's pointless. I have not done that, and i can install any of my tested languages directly without having to every time download them... SEUS can even resume nicely uncomplete downloads!
I think that the Spanish language has not yet been released, but as soon that will be released, then i'll create a new cab for with spanish language.
There is one thing that puzzles me, and I would like to know a bit more about what they mean (This is an example from the GENERIC_UK rom):
Software Id: 1230-2799
Customization Id: 1231-4909
Customization Version: R22A
What do these values mean? I would apreciate if someone could explain me more in detail, and if someone could point me to a complete, then that would be even better!
If this is some kind of flavour of each specific language, then it's not a big deal for me to create a custom cab for each of these flavours.
I just added two Spanish cabs: Standard + Vodafone. With this you can change your language to Spanish. Currently there is no spanish MR2 release, but you should get the spanish previous version installed.

Thanks!!
Thank you!!
My phone is currently in Europe as i did not want to risk "bricking" it myself: better to blame someone else if it happens But you have some pretty clear instructions so if I were to do it myself, I dont think that I would have a problem.
I sent this as a link for a more experienced tech to follow and make the change from Czech to English.
Unfortunately I do not know the the answers to the questions that you recently posted on your first post in this thread but as soon as i get it back I can try to find out what I can: albeit it will already be too late because it would have been changed already.
Anyways thank you again so much for figuring this out. Dealing with SE is so frustrating: "you bought the phone in Slovakia therefore it is not meant to be used anywhere else." WHAAAAA??!?!?!? Darn SE... have some product support for once.
hi hertell,i try to change language to my xperia but every time it return vodafone spain.I try with generic_it and generic _es but seus upgrade evry time firmware vodafone
So, the same problem with "You phone already has the latest available software installed" with only button "Exit" in SEUS.
Trying all variants described there with no luck....
hi i recently came across the new RUU_Schubert_S_HTC_Europe_4.05.401.02_Radio_5.69.09.29a_22.50.50.21_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE rom which is the europe unbranded mango rom i successfully flashed my o2 uk rom to this update without using any of the hspl flashing techniques so this way will remain updateable even through zune so here goes
Step 1- download this rom http://www39.multiupload.com:81/fil..._5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U_Signed_by_ansar.zip
Step 2- extract this rom 2 a folder and name it something like update part 1
Step 3-download this file http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo.../ModelID.fig&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13155707623901
Step 4- download this mango rom http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo..._RELEASE.exe&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13155708495051
Step 5 extract the rom you downloaded in step 4 to a folder named update part 2 then drag the modeid file you downloaded in step 3 into your update part 2 folder
Step 6 flash your phone using the romupdateutility exe file in your 1st update folder at the end of this u will receive an error 270 dont panic as this is supposed to happen
Step 7 now time to flash again go to your update part 2 folder this time and click on the romupdateutility exe file and allow it to flash at the end of this you will have a fully unbranded mango 2 rom on your phone with all the updated radios
would also like to think ansar and petbede as parts of there discoveries was used in this guide hope this helps

Great Guide Daryld, Just thought id point out that anyone who is happy to have the HSPL can download DFT's new 7720 build, it is completely unbranded (have an O2 HD7 myself)
Great and simple way to also unbrand your phone
hi guys! quick question - the 2nd one is an application, so where does it extract to? I cant find a way - unless I need a rom extraction utility?
hi jragar if you have winrar just right clight on it and click open wif winrar it will show you all the files then drag them 2 a new folder hope this helps

how strange, now I get device not found error 260.
May try rebooting laptop
r u sure u r putting ur phone in bootloader mode u need to do this before flashing and u can do this by turning ur phone completely off then holding the the volume down button only while pressing the power button on u shud see a tricolour screen then when you go to flash it should recognise ur phone let me know if this helps
There may be a misunderstanding occurred.
Try to rename filename and extension from "ModelID.fig" to "ModelID.bmp" (quote not include).
You will see a real file of ModelID.fig..
It's just image not hardware id.
The real hardware id was specific into the Rom in the offset 0x0220.
Quite painless and looks good - installed no issues so far.
does this method require y device to be unlocked ?
I guess doing this way you lose all your side-loaded apps including chevron unlock?
Future Updates?
Does this allow standard updating via Zune? Or will we have to put on the original mango carrier roms when and if they become available?
I followed this and it worked a treat top post
only problem I have is some of my app purchases seem to be lost.....e.g. I paid for PES2011 and now it shows up with the BUY which I am reluctant to click in case I pay twice....any ideas?
I can't find the Modeid file?
When I open up the file in step 3 the files in there are as follows:
RomUpdateutility.exe
Enterbootloader.exe
RUUgetinfo.exe
Rapitool.exe
RUUresource.dll
Readme.doc
RUU_signed.nbh
SPL_Signed.nbh
Enterusb.fig
Enterbattery.fg
Romupdateutlity.cfg
Thanks
EDIT: Sorry ignore my post, about 10 seconds after posting my computer decided to work so got it now thanks

Its fine just click buy and it says its already purchased and then download. The real pain is as you would expect flashing the rom you wont have any saved games but its a small price to pay. Your xbox achievements remain
bing voice stopped working
Guys I now have an issue using Bing voice and speaking and out loud. Keeps saying server not available right now...or words to that effect. Any ideas?
Yeah having the same issue here
