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

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.

Searching for SD Card !!

when I try to enter Boot loader in VOX ..... the first msg on the screen says searching for SD card... and it enters the Bootloader mode......the Color strips....
but nothing happens after that ..!!!!
any suggestions ??

What do you want to do?

I am trying to load the HTC diagnostic file.....named as vox0diag.nbh
please see my earlier post for trying to Format FAt of my Vox and suggest.
thanx

Why would you want to format your Vox? I know it loads vox0img.nbh through the boot loader, I don't know if it does that with this file naming scheme!

thanx for the Quick reply....
this a diagnostic file that HTC service centers use for VOX.
I read about it in the Technical Manual of VOX that laid my hands on thru' a friend of mine.
My VOX is dropping calls i,e. you can hear the Phone Ring but I have NO Indication that I hav an incoming call.
I thought that Formating and then loading a New ROM with New Radio Version could perhaps solve the problem....
BTW I hav tried nearly all ROM's and Radio Version's available on the XDA:FTP
That is why all this exercise....
any more help will be really appreciated...

sd should be formatted as fat16 - fat32 or cards bigger than 2gb may not work
if u want just format sd card then use wmstorage and under windows mount phone as external disk - .. just format it as normal removable disk

Some confusion here it seems:
@indtram:
Did you get your hands on a vox0diag.nbh file or did you just read about this in the manual?
Regarding Flashing via the boot loader:
1.) the card must be a NON-SDHC card, i.e. 2GB or smaller
2.) this card must be FAT or FAT32 formatted, NTFS is no option
3.) the flash file must be named vox0img.nbh for normal flash files
4.) the bootloader will ONLY load correctly signed .nbh files - cooked ones don't work
5.) if the card carries the right "Gold key" in its boot sector, the bootloader will allow also vendor independent flashing - yet correctly signed is a must, at least for the normal boot-loaders that come with official ROMs.
If anyone has got hold on this vox0diag.nbh, please put it to the XDA FTP.

The best and perhaps the safest way to flash

Dear Users
After a tragic experience with flashing my Polaris using activesync connection and a power failiure in the process which caused me a lot of trouble and a defective USB on the device it self. I have decided to share the best way to flash with all other novice users like myself. The procedure can even HardSPL provided you have the relevant nbh file.
In my humble opinion one should not use activesync /computer to flash for many reasons.
This procedure is very simple.
1. Take a MicroSD or SD card appropriate for your device and format it.
2. Put the ROM file you want to flash on the root of the SD and rename it POLAIMG.nbh
3. Put this card into your device and press camera + power+ hard reset (hidden button) and let go the hard reset, the device will go into bootloader and automaticlly start flashing the rom image.
Thats it you are done and no problems getting stuck into bootloader or problems related to activesync and different OS versions.
I have even flashed my old HTC Atom using same technique only the file name there is not PLOAIMG
Enjoy, Respects to all the chefs and other developers
T_Malik

great but isn't it
POLAIMG.nbh
Just some may how to say get stuck on the wrong name

Absolutely right POLAIMG.nbh
Regards

I think it only works with non-SDHC cards. I tried with my 16 GB card and it didn't read the .nbh

I have tried 3 different MicroSD cards and it seems that its the best if the card be a 256 MB in size and only containing the required POLAIMG.nbh file in root.
On the ATOM model the card was a standard SD card 1GB in size and it worked fine as well.
Respects and regards

i 've googled everywhere no answer for my particular prob because this one stops at bootloader and wasnt hardspl or uspl before flashing new rom. anyone help!!!! pliz!!!

Okay. You will need a 256MB or less SD card.
Format it to FAT32.
Place one of my SD version ROMs (one my HERAIMG.nbh files) onto the SD card with nothing else on it.
Boot phone to bootloader.
Use the volumeslider down to select that you want to flash the ROM when you see in the lower left hand corner red numbers counting from 10 to 1.
Wait..
Wait some more..
Press volumeslider down again when it says successful.
SD CARD HAS TO BE LESS THAN 256MB OR LESS

okay thanx for the answer so where do i get your heraimg.nbh will try

http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=349
Any post that has [ROM] in front of it and has my name underneath it is called a ROM Suite. I have about 4 downloads in each Suite.
Two for Herald users and two for Wing users.
And for each user I have an SD version (the HERAIMG.nbh) and an RUU (RomUpdateUtility version).
Now to flash one of my ROMs you need to be HARDSPL'd. Which means that your IPL and SPL need to be greater than 4.xx.xx.xx.
You originally stated that your "IPL is 4.14.0002" & your "SPL is 4.10.0000." So you should be all set to flash my ROMs.. If you're not sure, then on any one of my ROM Suite threads get the HARDSPL folder and follow the directions that are in the folder.

thnks very much, but i cant install those three files into device as the set is stuck at showing IPL and SPL. i downloaded HARDSPL folder to my desktop. pliz help as to how i do it. when i use rom utility says invalid vendor and when i use memory card it says security not cleared, when i change .nbh on mmc says checking sd contents then back to three colors IPL and SPL

Have you tried flashing an original ROM to your device?
Look HERE.

thanks i tried that rom says invalid vendor. so i downloaded HardSPL (Wing-Herald) folder but active sync not recognise device. rom utility says update error. how best can i do it

You've tried the original shipped ROMs from post number #9?

hera100 no solution
yes i have tried when i conect usb device shows usb but activesync wont pick it, i tried downloading itrib rom on your post it stops at 3% the rest they stop at 2% they says update error. when i use memory card says invalid certificates. plizzz help
