O2 XDA II Mini Original Rom WWE - PLEASE!

Hey guys,
Well I succeeded in upgrading to Anansky's BigStorage ROM and was very satisfied, but now my stupid speaker broke (I have a similar problem to other users where they can hear sound if they blow into the speaker). I have to return the Magician so I need to revert back. Can someone PLEASE upload the original XDA II ROM PLEASE???
Here's a list of instructions on how to backup the ROM:
Backing up your ROM can be done by connecting your Magician to the PC through the data cable when you first uncheck the USB connection of active sync.
If your Magician connects with active sync because you didn't uncheck the USB connection in the active sync connection settings then you will not be able to backup your ROM to an SD memory card.
1. Before connecting your Magician you should bring it into the boot loader mode. This can be done by simultaneously pressing power + camera buttons and at the same time the soft reset button with the stylus.
2. After connecting your Magician to the PC through the USB in boot loader mode and having your SD card inserted into the MDA, you run romupdate.exe.
3. Then choose the USB connection in the connection settings of romupdate.exe window and click on ok. After that a terminal window will popup in that window.
4. Type d2s and press enter. Your Magician will start copying the ROM to the sd card. The screen of your Magician will be dark (no light), but you will see it counting up to 100%. When it reaches 100% it will say it is calculating the checksum. Give it some time till its done and it will say checksum ok.
5. After finishing the transfer of the ROM from your Magician to the SD card, put your SD card into an SD card reader connected to your pc. Your pc might pop up a warning message that says your SD Card is not formatted would you like to format? Click No and open a Command prompt (DOS) window.
6. Change directory to your root directory (cd c:\) and run the command ntrw read o2orig.nb1 x: where x is the drive letter of your sd card. That command will create the ROM Backup file of your ROM into your C drive root directory by the name of o2orig.nb1. Make sure you keep o2orig.nb1 in a safe place and use a copy of that file for the rest of the procedure. Note that after finishing the copy from your SD card to o2orig.nb1 file ntrw might give you an error, just don’t pay attention to it.
7. WinRAR the o2orig.nb1 file, then upload it to the XDA Developers FTP .[/i]

No one wants to help?

The question is why havent you got a backup?? You were told to do this in the first instance should anything go wrong!!

somebody apparently has uploaded the O2 mini original rom, check it out!

The answer to this was I was using my digital camera as an SD reader...and the backup didn't work properly for some reason. So now I have nothing.
The backup (I think you're talking about the O2 Original Dump Rom) doesn't work for me. I have a 1.11 version of the O2 Asia ROM, but I'd rather have the original WWE. Oh yes, and I've tried several times with the "Original Dump Rom" using 220, 415 and 416 bytes...nothing works.

This may work for you - use the romupdate software to get the rom image of your device to the sd card. By this stage you have an edited rom image on the pc. Use ntrw to write that image over the top of the sd card that you have just written to with romupdate. Then plug it into the ppc. Do not format the sd card in the immediate procedure at anytime. For whatever reason I think the romupdate software puts a format on the sd card which the ppc recognises. There were a number of errors on the ppc screen just after installation however when you push the reset button hey hey the original splash screen boots up. Prior to this check that the edited rom header is 416, in my efforts it was not 415. The RomMiniOrg.nb1 image was good with the only NON change being the radio which remained at version 1.11 but I downgraded it to 1.05. I don't think the service centre will worry to much about this should you need it. Goodluck with this, it worked for me.

Hi yozhek,
Thanks for the help. I did what you said but it still didn't work. However, I used O2_mini_asia from the FTP to downgrade my extended rom, protocol and rom version...then I found the Radio downgrade on the FTP and downgraded to version 1.01.
now everything is original!
I didn't know that the Nb1 files did not include the radio stack downgrade so I had to downgrade that seperately.

the command in the romupdate program basically determine which image to backup.
d2s for rom, but I am not sure what's the other command for extended rom and radio. Anybody?

Can I use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to change the ROM on my mini with the o2mini_asia.nb1 ?

miniuser: no
you will have to use the process as described in procedure.doc (available in the FTP under anansky's bigstorage folder)

I did as described in the procedure.doc. I have run this command
ntrw write o2mini_asia.nb1 e: and then inserted the SD card into my mini and pressed the power+camera+soft reset button
but it is not doing anything, it has stopped at "Serial" above and v1.00 below for an hour now. Any suggestions?
cheers
mini_user

I tried it second time, now it says
SD DOWNLOAD
==========
SECTIONS=1
Not Allow Update
Any Suggestions?
Cheers

Sorry for the last post, was trying out something else.
I am using a 256MB SD card and the size of the rom is only 127MB after ntrw, does it make any diff??

you can always ntrw write a 127mb rom image into a 256mb sd card.
the rom flash will not work (and hence the no update allowed message) if your rom image in your sd card is invalid for some reason. I make a bobo previously, trying to copy 416byte of anasky rom into my original rom, instead of the other way round. And it give me that error message. After realising my mistake, and did the right modification, the flash went through successfully. so double check your rom header edit if you are not able to proceed to the flash step.

I have a mini with qteck 1.11.00 WWE
and I have download the o2mini rom from xda ftp and have got a 256 mb card
if I want to flash my mini with the o2mini rom the are these the steps to follow
1. dump qtek rom into card
2. copy it to pc
3. copy 1st 416 bytes of qtck into o2mini rom
4. dump o2mini rom into card
5. put mini into bootloader mode
6 update with mini rom
cheers

How is going on ?
How can I repair it?

Have you tried reflashing to a orginal rom again?? I went from bigstorage 1.11 to I-mate 1.12 and my storage went back to the orginal settings then I patch it to bigstorage again....... just a thought?...

I don't know, I tried a lot of roms and now for me there is no way to have the original storage back, with originals ROMs too, However I'm happy with my 1.12 wwe bigstorage!

It happened to me too!
I didn't play with any big storage rom, just the plain upgrade.
Everything was working fine for nearly a month and
this morning, my storage is gone!
HELP!!!!!!!

I got the same problem of missing storage in sytem.
before the disaster, my setting was
O2mini + I-mate 1.12 WWE + Bigstorage
then I flash my device with the latest 1.11 CHT rom (shipped rom). After the flashing finished, I found my "Storage" gone.
Anyone can help?

I finally got my storage back by using my backup in SD card (not bigstorage rom) to flash my machine
now my storage is back, I can change to other rom without problem.

Read this Then, you will find the way to get it back.

New Qtek S100 - A few clarifications needed

Hi,
I've just got a new S100 and I've got a few questions. Let me first explain at what state I am now. I got a french s100 shipped. So I updated it to WWE with the exe method and no_ID just to get it into english.
Now I would like to go for the mksbigstorage thing. I've read a lot of post on it but I would like a few clarifications.
1. Can you perform big storage through exe method or only by flashing from sd card?
2. Will I have a problem with flashing because my qtek was originally french?
3. What is the difference between exe method and flashing? Does one method do more than the other?
4. Why do I have to take the first 400 or so bytes from my own rom? Does this have to be the original french one (didn't back that one up) or can I take the one that on it now?
5. If I get stuck anywhere and my device goes dead. Is it then still always possible to upgrade the rom through the exe method to get it back to original? Or could this give problems with storage and ext_rom?
6. Is there a way to make your own rom? Are there tools for prepping files for the exe method?
7. Can someone explain me the memory devision of the qtek? I know 64 mb rom and 64 mb ram. But what get installed where? Is the ext_rom and storage in rom or ram? If you see on the memory screen storage and programs is this all ram?
8. I would like to keep as much ram free as possible. If ext_rom and storage are in ram would it be an option to not have ext_rom and have storage on sd card. If so how can one do that?
9. In my ext_rom there is tpenable and tpdisable, are these things used to specify where software gets installed? I've installed a few things and I think that they are eating up my ram.
I know these are a lot of questions but answers to these would help me understand my qtek better and help me to make a decision on what I'm going to do next.
Thanks,
Stekke.

Problem Flashing ROM, where none existed before

I have an O2 XDA Mini (Magician) which I picked up in Germany. It originally had a German ROM. I accidentally tried to upgrade the ROM on the device with an English Language Himalaya ROM. All it succeeded in doing was wipe the original German ROM and leaving nothing in its place.
I've urgently been trying to Flash English Language Magician ROMs through the Bootloader ... and the best I can do with a couple of them is get to 6% of Stage Three (Upgrading the CE image). It seems to go through Stages One and Two OK (Radio and ROM) ... but cuts out at 6% of Stage Three. I've been trying o2s 1.12.00 ... WWE_111.132_NoIDmod. With all of them I can only get started using the 'MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe' file to get passed the 'country' and sundry error messages ...
But I just can't get passed 6% of the final Stage ... Stage Three.
Anybody got any ideas?

Upgrading to a non-Magician ROM can damage the unit.

@nietzche: You should try the SD-card-image version. Maybe this can save your unit.

I recognise that's a possible solution ... but I can't for the life of me find anSD version of a ROM and a means to get it on a card. I see all the time ways to get a ROM from the device onto a card (Backup) ... and play with it ... but can't find a way to use a SD card ROM from scratch.
Would really appreciate finding a WWE SD ROM version etc.

There are no such things as ROM in SD cards but there are tutorials in this forum on how to transfer the ROM image to an SD card and then use the SD card to load the ROM into your unit.

I do truly appreciate the advice ... but all I've been able to gather from this site (and others) is the instructions to get a ROM onto an SD card from the device ... which is something I obviously can't do. If you could help me find advice on how to take a ROM and create a ROM image on a SD card VIA a PC, I'd greatly appreciate it. (In the old Wallaby days there used to be a tool developed here at this developers site that allowed you to 'copy' a ROM onto a SD card ... but there doesn't appear to be anything like that for any later models including the Magician ROMs.)
In the end ... maybe the easiest thing to do is send a SD card to someone who can copy their ROM onto my card and get it back to me ... any takers?

There are tools to write that SD image to a file which can be sent via internet - so no need to ship SD cards around the world. Unfortunately I use a localized ROM so I can't help you with that.

The SD card is used only if BigStorage ROM is desired. To install a ROM in a normal way, just dock your unit via USB and disable the USB setting in ActiveSync. Extract the ROM and replace the file MaUpgradeUt.exe with MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe which can be found in the ftp. Finally double click on the file MaUpgradteUt_noId.exe and it should start installing.

Thanks Zerimar ,,, but as noted in the first post of this thread, I can't seem to succeed in getting passed Stage Three of the installation through the bootloader. That's the reason I need to try and load a ROM via the sd card. Is it possible for someone to upload a WWE SD image?

Sorry for that nietzche :wink:, it seems that my eyes are failing me.
I'm not so sure anymore but I think the ROM must be somehow specific to the device for a standard ROM upload. What you can try do is make a BS ROM out of any shipped ROMs or download any of the BS ROMS. There are also guides written by Ampda and Oltp on how to make a BS ROM, what tools (software) you need in this forum.

Is it possible to install cooked roms on treo750 without a memory card?

Is it possible to install a cooked rom on a Treo 750 without a miniSD card?

flasher1
download flasher hermes and a wmROM (bin) and replace the file
remeber: hard slp first

Yes, I just did that yesterday.
I have used Hermann v3.0 ROM by using the data cable.
Create an Active Sync Connection with your PC. After HARD-SPL, you just need to execute the RUUWrapper.exe which will update the ROM.
