So far, we know that BigStorage can be created for 1.11 or 1.12 ROMs by replacing 80 00 with b8 01 at the following two locations:
English version (i-mate JAM, T-mobile compact, etc.)
7e32 and 211e32e
French version (qtek, etc.)
7e32 and 212332e
German version (T-mobile compact, etc.)
7e32 and 213232e
Traditional Chinese version (Dopod 818, O2 Asia, etc.)
7e4a and 1fc232e
Simplified Chinese version (Dopod 818, etc.)
7e42 and 1fc232e
It seems that the two locations change with the language, rather than the brand. Older ROM versions have different locations.
Could anybody provide the locations of other language versions for the reference of those who need them?
Please note that some have reported success in creating the BigStorage by replacing the bytes at the first location only, leaving the second location unchanged.
For those who need a summary of the steps:
1. Dump your original ROM to SD card. (romupdate.exe and ntrw.exe)
2. Edit your own ROM. (hex editor)
i.e. search for the two locations in the ROM with "02 00 00 80 00 20" and replace 80 00 with b8 01.
3. Write the edited ROM back to the Magician and hard reset your machine. (ntrw.exe)
That's it!
- no more downloading of others' BigStorage ROMs
- no need to replace the first 416 bytes
- no more unsolicited splash screens
- a simple, safe, do-it-yourself method to create your own BigStorage based on whatever ROM version you already have or upgraded.
Thank you so much.
I have an Italian ROM. Can anybody give me some help?
Talents,
A good assurance for people....
Nice one
I put this together with bits taken from this forum
Does anyone know if this will work for older versions of the ROM (i.e. 1.03 or 1.06)? I still am having problems with the GPRS with the newer ROMs so I would like to apply the BigStorage to older ROMs.
Thank you,
F
I used this method on the 1.03 wwe version and it is working perfectly. I used the same method as described. Found the two locations made the changes etc. and all is well.
Thanks, I will try it out

You seem to have an old version of ntrw. Get the latest one (2.0) from this forum's FTP server.

Worked for me with French_11202_125_11210 8)
The first reboot took more than 5 min though.
glad to know that it works on your French ROM.
We should have warned everyone to be patient with the first boot up after upgrading. It takes 5-10 minutes to format the BigStorage, with the screen apparently "stuck" at the splash screen.
I've found a .nb1 file for BigStorage on the ftp server of this forum. I think it's the BigStorage version for ROM 1.12. Is it possible to use that file and enable BigStorage without a cardreader?
For example, when you execute the upgrade program an TEMP directory is created with a bunch of files in it. If I were to copy those files (which also include some .nb1 files) and replace one of those with the one I found on the ftp, would that give me BigStorage?
Welrogie,
I was actually thinking the same thing as you...
Although if it were possible, I'm sure someone would have posted somewhere on this site anyway (?)
BigStorager work great for 1.12 FR ROM
many thanks
your post is excellent, did it to a 1.12 and no probs, please just check the pdf instruction sheet as it mentions 2 different file names, 1 to download from SD card and another to upload, maybe I misread it but I just uploaded the modified version of the file I downloaded and it all went swimmingly. cheers
Just carrying out a few 'test' searches on rom files to locate the necessary information...
On the 3 that I have performed the search on, i seem to find the bytes ok but the locations never matches the one stated by Talents and others. Does it matter that they appear in different locations than the ones specified?
Thanks.

I have successfully flashed an O2 english machine into a traditional chinese one. I just wanted to point couple things out that slowed me down during upgrading:
1) if your ntrw shows something like "usage... etc" that means you have an incorrect version. Please download version 2.0
2) when replacing the information in the hex editor, you do not have to highlight the part to be replaced, just click once to the beginning of the header, then click paste, it'll replace by itself. I tried to highlight the part to be replaced and delete and paste again.. etc with no luck. Remember it has to look like the original, 3-4 lines of 00 then ff ff.. etc, if you did it wrong it will only have the ff ff parts right after the 416 bytes (this worked for me)
3) when putting in the SD card, it does not necessarily give you the prompt to flash in several seconds, i've seen it pop up after several minutes, so give it some time and not panic
Those were just some of my experiences that I thought could be amended to the procedures to clarify some things, because one would have to dig through many topics to find the above solutions as I did (which i don't understand why the authors won't edit their procedures to make it perfect).
Anyhow, I have one final question. I read the thread on how to remove T-mobile's customizations somewhere, but how do I remove O2's cusomization? If I can figure this out I'll make my O2 w/ dopod rom into an O2 trad. chinese rom. Thnx
Here's another thing I wanted to ask, when I change the rom and flahs w/ the cht.xxx file from ftp (the O2 rom) does it include the ext roms? Or should I d/l them cab by cab and install separately? Or does this need to be unlocked like some other threads say?

Thanks to various pioneers on this forum - I have just updated the Dopod 1.11 CHT ROM to have access to 26.72M Storage.
1. Use the official Dopod link www.dopod.com.tw/download/Dopod818_1110_153_11100_Ship.exe to update the ROM to CHT 1.11.
Use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe if your pocket pc is not a Dopod 818.
2. Run RomUpdate.exe to dump the ROM to SD Card.
3. Run "ntrw read chtbig.nb1 s:" where s: is the SD drive.
4. Use HexEditor to modify "80 00" to "b8 01" at the following two locations of chtbig.nb1 - 00007e4a and 01fc232e.
5. Run "ntrw write chtbig.nb1 s:".
6. Flash the pocket pc with the new ROM on SD card.
The key is about identifying the right locations of the ROM to modify. Please note that different machines and different ROM versions will have different addresses to modify.
Thanks for your explanation
How to identify the right locations to modify?
I just have my O2 mini upgraded to 1.12.00WWE and would like to modify it to bigstorage.
Regards
Woo ~~ good job !! but can you show more for point 4

Hey ! I got it. now my O2 had 27MB storage and CHT 1.11 rom . :lol:
I am glad that the method works on the pocket pc of others.
In theory, this DIY method should work for any newly released ROM versions, unless HTC changes the coding structure.
Thanks. It works for me too.
Just a reminder for others: The first boot will takes about 5 mins for formating the storage space.
yes, I have also encountered this problem but my O2 mini is work fine now.
I have just done the following to get 27MB Storage in the O2 1.11 Cht ROM released yesterday:
1. Update with the official 1.11 Cht ROM from O2. I have uploaded it here:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/Shipped_ROMS/CHT_11106_902_11100.zip
(ROMUpgradeUt.exe already patched to cater for other ROM versions - O2 Eng, Dopod 818, i-mate JAM, T-mobile, etc.)
2. Dump the ROM to SD card with RomUpdate.exe.
(All of the necessary tools are here: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/Tools/Backup_tools/ )
3. Use ntrw.exe to read the ROM on the SD card: ntrw read cht.nb1 s:
4. Use Hex Editor to search for 02 00 00 80 00 20 in the dumped ROM and change 80 00 to b8 01 (i.e. at locations 7e4a and 1fc232e)
5. Use ntrw.exe to write the modified ROM to SD card: ntrw write cht.nb1 s:
6. Flash the new ROM from the SD card in bootloader mode.
(You may choose to skip the 1.11 radio ROM and install the more up-to-date 1.12 radio ROM)
I have also uploaded the Extended ROM for those who need the GPRS settings, etc.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/Extended_Roms/O2Asia_CHT_1.11.902/
I did success too with edit by hex editor
Fast and easy without pain

Stefan,
Thanks for moving the files to the "permanent" location.
Please amend the name of the Extended ROM files from "Dopod818_CHT" to "O2Asia_CHT".
Dopod 818 contains settings for Taiwan.
O2Asia settings are for Hong Kong, Singapore, etc.

Hi Talents,
I am from Australia and I having trouble with the method that requires patching the original ROM, I am glad to see this clean look method!
* I am currently on ROM 1.11 already, does that mean I can skip the updating the ROM part and go straight to the changing the Hex values?
* I have tried searching this 02 00 00 80 00 20 in my dumped ROM. It found 2 exact matches, it also found some other match, but the values aren't exact (ie. 02 b4 8f 80 c1 20) Do I just ignore those and only change the 2 "02 00 00 80 00 20" that I have found?
Please assist!
Crayon
Hi Talent,
I replaced the Hex Value as you advised on my freshly backup ROM.
It's working now.
Thanks
Crayon
What is bigstorage?
What is bigstorage anyway? is it the way to modified the installed 64mb rom into something bigger? does it produce the same result as tupisdin did with changing the memory chip from himalaya into 128mb?
thanks
crayon,
Sorry that I missed your earlier post and did not respond.
But I am very glad to see that this simple method for creating the BigStorage WORKS on virtually all ROM versions.
What is more - so far I have not heard of any report of the risk of a totally dead Magician using this method, while the other alternate methods seemed to have killed quite a few ROMs. Apparently it is also a safe method.
Hi Talent,
That's cool! Thanks very much for your help, saves me a lot of grief!!
I would like to share a finding.
After the Hex Update, when you try to install applications via ActiveSync, if you choose Saving program in Storage or Storage card, the "memory available" field is showing as < Not Available >!! However, you can still install and everything will still work. If I remember corrected, it did show the active available storage space left when I first finish the ROM update.
Anyway, hope this will help the future O2 mini owner!
Crayon
Just wondering if anyone have reinstalled any of the Extend_ROM apps after the upgrade? I am trying to get O2 Plus, but I need O2 connect first.
Just want to know if any installing below would put O2 connect back onto my mini

Hi mate,
A quick question, if I do the changing of Hex value to "b8 01", does it mean I do not need to do the 416byte replacement as mentioned in Anasky's method?
Thanks!!
Regards,
[Charles]
No, you don't need to replace the 416 bytes.
You are using a shipped ROM that worked on your machine and you just change the bytes at the two specified locations to get the BigStorage.
hi, all
anybody know why i flash my modified rom from sdcard in bootloader mode,
after 100% it say download fail and checksum fail.
I just finished upgrading from Qtek 1.11 WWE Big Storage ROM to T-Mob 1.13 WWE Big Storage (with 1.13 Radio). Since the information available on the forum is spread over many threads, I thought I would amalgamate everything here ...
NB: ampda_How_To_PPC_Upgrades_V1.pdf (attached) tells you how to use ALL the tools I mention ... thanks to ampda for this useful write-up!
Before you start:
a) Take full backup of your PPC on SD using Sprite Backup or any other 3rd party app.
b) Take copy of SD on PC
Now for the ROM upgrade ...
1. Take backup of existing ROM (mine was BigStorage 1.11) on SD using romupdate.exe (attached) - Sec. 4 in PDF
2. Convert ROM (now on SD after step 1) to PC using ntrw ver2.0 (attached) - Sec. 5in PDF
3. Install 1.13 T-Mob NL WWE ROM (from ftp ... ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/Shipped_ROMS/NL_11300_131_11200.exe) using MaUpgradeUt_noID (attached)
4. Follow on-screen instructions and reset device just before installing customisations (to make extended ROM accessible)
5. Copy Extended ROM to PC (for later use) using Windows Explorer
6. Install 1.13 Radio using MagicianRadio_1.13.00.zip from FTP (attached).
This will hard rerset again so make sure you press the reset before T-Mob customisation starts.
7. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to create an nb1 file of your new 1.13 ROM on PC
8. Open your new nb1 file with a Hex editor (download the latest FREE version from http://www.hhdsoftware.com/hexeditor.html), locate the 02 00 00 80 00 20 and change 80 00 to b8 01 (at 3 locations in this version of ROM - not just 2)
9. Transfer your new ROM to SD card using ntrw ver 2.0 - Step 7 in PDF
10. Dump your new Big Storage ROM onto your Magician - Step 8 in PDF
You will note that after step 10 your Magician will take a VEEEERY LONG time to boot the first time. This is normal.
Install any required Extended ROM programs from the folder created in step 5 above. To install these CAB files just copy them anywhere on your PPC and click once to install.
Enjoy!
tnx I'm going too try this!
It has been several months since I last visited this forum. I am wondering, why do we need to install the 1.13 Radio using MagicianRadio_1.13.00.zip in step 6?
I thought the 1.13 T-Mob NL WWE ROM should already have the 1.13 Radio... or is it unstable?
Thanks.

urgenttttt.....
it seems easier just to decode nbf, make bigstorage patch,
change header to what's in DeviceData.txt
and then encode and flash using ROMUpgradeUt
All steps:
1. run NL_11300_131_11200.exe - this will
2. unpack files to temp - copy them ! and
3. write DeviceData.txt to \Windows - copy this one too and view with notepad
4. decode nk.nbf -> nk.nb1
5. hexedit header to correct ID from DeviceData.txt and
6. replace pattern for bigstorage in hexeditor
7. encode nk.nb1->nk.nbf
8. run ROMUpgradeUt.exe to upgrade CE image
also, this way you will save the contents of increased \Storage folder if previous rom was bigstorage one
Attach: src+bin of enc/dec utility for nbf format used in ROMUpgradeUt.exe ver. 3.0.1.0
bin is in the Release folder
Usage sample (must be run from the same folder as nbf files or specify full path):
nbfdec -d nk.nbf nk.nb1
nbfdec -e nk.nb1 nk.nbf

Hi hlt,
I tried your description and all I can say is: IT WORKS! And in my humble opinion this is the easiest method for BigStorage. I've some extra info in your steps, the parts where I had questions, for others to profit.
All steps:
1. unzip NL_11300_131_11200.exe (or any other shipped rom)
2. copy the getdevicedata.exe to your magician and execute to write DeviceData.txt to \Windows and view with notepad
4. decode nk.nbf -> nk.nb1
5. hexedit header to correct ID from DeviceData.txt (probably only if using a rom from other provider)
6. replace pattern for bigstorage in hexeditor
7. encode nk.nb1->nk.nbf
8. run ROMUpgradeUt.exe to upgrade CE image
also, this way you will save the contents of increased \Storage folder if previous rom was bigstorage one
Usage sample (must be run from the same folder as nbf files or specify full path):
nbfdec -d nk.nbf nk.nb1
nbfdec -e nk.nb1 nk.nbf
Thanks a lott for this wonderful piece of code,

Hi I have a question. Its been months also since I visited thise site and I didnt know there is already a new ROM for the XDA-Mini. My Rom version is 1.11.00 WWE and I did the Big Storage trick before so I dont have the ExtRom now.
If I upgrade to this new ROM versions, will I get a ExtROM back again or I still have the Big Storage?
thanks so much...
You will get the EXTROM back. The removal of EXTROM has to be done for every ROM you install, hence steps 8 to 10 above
I guess there will always be a chance of things going wrong, but as you don't forget to locate the 02 00 00 80 00 20 and change 80 00 to b8 01 in your decoded nk.nb1 and use the re-encoded nk.nbf in the upgrade you'll have BigStorage. I did it with a crippled magician, I lost all my storage with a BigStorage attempt, and it gave me back a 26.72MB storage. Now I'm moving a lot of files over to storage, so far all my 'program files' are there and large ones like album and camera. After moving some registry and shortcut changes are needed, but it works. Now got 8Mb in main memory stored and this is with a complete ext-rom installed (manually), MMS, Blackberry and Caller Id are quite large and will be gone this week after a planned hard-reset. First I need to figure out some more files to move. Keep in mind that programs from storage are starting slower than from main memory, especially when you move over the 'program files' and dll's as well.
Good luck, M

I'm itching to give it a try now. But wait....is the ROm upgrade v1.13 that you guys are talking about here, applicable to all kinds of XDA-Mini? I mean I am using the O2 XDA-Mini purchased here in the Philippines. Its asian version but its "english".
Because I remember the last upgrade I did which procedure I got from here also...I got the upgrade procedure from a thread specified for XDA Asian version. This time, I couldnt see a thread for Asian XDA specifically....instead I see there's a common thread for all. But its a T-mobile rom, isnt it? Am I in the right thread?
thanks....
Hello dinoalbert,
This is a WWE rom, haven't found an asian 1.13 on the ftp. There's only one asian rom there: o2asia_11100_922_11100_ship.exe, don't know which rom you have currently so maybe you can use it. I guess the trick with exchanging radio's and the BS trick will work, won't know why not.

Yes, this ROM is good for all variants of the HTC Magician, except the 850MHz radio version. You would need a different RADIO for that.
KTA,
Do you know the difference between the 1.12 radio and the 1.13 version? Also the 1.12 in the shipped rom has a newer file-date than the 1.13 one, or is t-mob on a different number scheme?
Thanks,
M
@oltp
yup thats the one that I have now...ma_o2asia_11100_922_11100_ship......thats the last ROM upgrade I did which I also got it from here last May or June I think. But that seem to be along time ago already....so I was wondering if there is a new ROM upgrade now.
@kta
so you mean I can go ahead and upgrade my rom to the latest 1.13 rom? My current radio version I think came with that rom i mentioned above...ite version 1.11.00
so what will happen if I upgrade to the latest rom? Why do I need a different radio version?
thanks again...
If you are using AKU23 ROM, you can change the size of page pool by editing the OS part extracted from the nk.nbf file with a hex editing tool.
The value at address 03EC8AE defines the size of page pool, by default it is "C0 00". Changing it to "00 01" can increase the size of page pool from 12MB to 16 MB.
For page pool and it's relationship with rom performance, pls check here

speeding up prophet with aku 20
Hi.
Thank you for this info. Just few questions if you don’t mind.
Have you tested it on prophet yourself? Is the improvement noticeable? And is it only for AKU 23 or it would work in AKU 20 roms as well? And if yes, would you be kind and tell me if it’s the same values at the same address that needs to be changed or it is different value and address in AKU 20 rom?
Basically what I am trying to find out if I can apply this hack to my prophet running dopod 818 pro 2.15.13.27 wwe rom with aku 20 and is this going to make a noticeable difference. Or would you recommend updating to newer rom and latest AKU? If yes, will it update IPL and SPL? Would that cause a problem in upgrading and downgrading the device in future? I have CID unlocked this device already, but I wonder if updating IPL and SPL would relock the rom.
To be honest, this prophet is slow as hell comparing to 2003 devices and I would love to speed it up. That would just make this device irreplaceable for me.
I am sorry I ask too many questions, but I would really appreciate your time and assistance in learning how to solve this issue.
Best Regards,
Aleks.
P.S. I did read the thread on the provided link, but it references everything pertaining to BA and Wizard.

Hello,

the rom has to be in nba format, not nbf?
Thank you for your reply and info. So according to you the rom has to be in nba format? I thought I was missing something. This wasn't whole story then.
I've got a problem with finding the value at address 03EC8AE that defines the size of page pool (C0 00) I opened nbf file of my dopods rom with hex editor as instructed by yunshem and had no luck finding this address. I also tried several other roms, including pdamobiz rom that is already patched and still couldn't find it! Now I see why Will try it tonight, thank you!
no luck!
The given address in not found in the 2.0 rom. I have tried 5 different roms with no avail. In all possible formats, .nba .nbf .fat
And to totaly drive me crazy, on top of everything else, aWizard keeps telling me that it can't update itsutils.dll ! I tried everything I could think of and still couldn't back up my dopod 2.15 rom! I had this problem when I tried to dump the imate rom, but somehow it worked after I manualy copied the itsutils.dll into windows directory, but this time nothing worked! Any ideas?
Is this correct?
I used a hex editor and opened up the official Dopod818P rom 2.15.13.27. I first extracted it as an nba file using awizard.
I can't find the 03EC8AE address either, but I selected goto address, and it pointed me to 3EC89E. There, I saw C0 00. I changed it to 00 01 as per the picture below.
I think this should be correct, right?
