Hi All, I am after advice on how to get my original ROM back.
I upgraded to MksBiGStorage, and following the instructions I backed up my original ROM first.
My original ROM is on my Hard Drive but I think because I used a 1Gb SD card to back it up with ntrw.exe, it is 1Gb in size.
I was hoping I could just use ntrw.exe and transfer my 1Gb backup ROM back to my SD card again using ntrw.exe and then hard reset my phone and it would see the ROM and install it - BUGGER, that doesnt seem to work.
Can anyone tell me how to get my backed up ROM back onto my phone? Or does anyone have the Original Orange UK SPV m500 ROM I could download and install?
Desperately want my original phone back - Please help guys, you are my only hope. (I Sound like Princess Leah asking Obi-Wan).
guess i'm Yoda then
Think you put the rom after your sd's mbr with ntrw. To solve this do the following steps:
- create a romdump of your current rom, you know how don't you?
- now copy your backup rom on the sd without formatting it.
romupdate has overwritten the sd's mbr and ntrw will happily write the backup.nb1 image at the start position of your sd.
Now your magician should be able to se the image.
Also you cashrink your backup image extremely. Open the mksbigstorager romimage in hexedit go to the last byte and get the address and bytes. Now open your backup, go to the same address and look for the same bitpattern as it is very recognizable this shouldn't give a problem.
Now delete all the bytes behind them & you're left with a handy 64Mb image
Good luck, M
I dont mean to sound ungreatful for your reply, but I have no idea what you mean.
I only have one backup of my old ROM, and that is the 1Gb file on my hard drive.
Can you give me a step by step procedure for restoring it?
If I understand correctly, you are saying to backup my (not wanted) mksbigstorage ROM again to SD (which will write the MBR to the SD.
Then, copy my original ROM back to the SD using ntrw, then try and insert my SD back into my device and it will work?
Is that right?

Yes that's right the rom-dump will overwrite/destroy the mbr. After that write the old 1Gb file on the same sd without formatting it, then it will work.
I'll post the steps to cut the 1Gb to 64Mb later as I need access to my PC for details on it. I did it myself as BS 1.13 on the ftp is my image and around 64Mb in size & mksbigstorager can do it too only that will do it with the BS patch & manually you get it without.
first thing is to get your old-rom on your device so start dumping ;-)
Regards, M
oltp, thanks for your help man. I am currently transferring my ROM to the SD.
Where abouts in NL are you from? I love NL - You guys rock
If ever I get the chance I will retire/emigrate in the Netherlands. Love it.
Just inserted card, and it says its trying to update the ROM.
MANY, MANY THANKS for taking the time to answer my questions.
I really appreciate it.... YODA!
You're welcome I'm just the messenger in this, someone else 'discovered' the mbr problem & posted it here.
Glad it works for you too.
Regarding the of the world I'm from the home of cannabis (Amsterdam) & live now near the city from 'a bridge to far' (Arnhem). Love it here too near the forests etc. Somehow the Dutch get a lot of bad credits lately in the news so it's nice to read that there are people liking Holland. So thank you & I guess you're device is ready for use by now.
Cheers, M
Absolutely spot on.
Once again, thanks for your help - I had almost given up.
I hope this helps others out aswell who need to revert back to the original ROM.
Regarding the 1Gb file, there are a couple of people in another thread of mine who obviously didnt back their ROM up and are asking for the original Orange UK ROM for download.
Is it safe to upload the ROM I have for them? I dont understand why its not downloadable anywhere on the net at the moment?
I will happily upload this ROM for others if its not going to cause licensing issues or invalidate my ROM at all.
I took a look at using the HexEdit program and think I know what I need to do, but selecting all the bytes after the address seems to take AGES! FOREVER.
Thanks again for your time oltp, I am well chuffed
Excuse me for my bad English, you better select to first 64Mb & save that part in a new file don't forget to include those footer bytes.
When you don't want people to get your device id, just replace those first 416bytes with a looping 'please put your own 416bytes here' or something simular. Must work don't you think?
I just uploaded mine as I hope, guess, belief they're not able or willing to backtrack me in the coming 18 months. Then my contract ends & I probably get a new 'phone'.
So pls upload your shrunken & zipped image you can pls a lot of others with it.
Cheers, M

as the title, I'd like to modify the ROM of the S00, I mean i'd like to take the original ROM and add some new software in it so that if i have some problemes with it later, i can reinstall with all my sofwatres and documents. How can i do that pliz ? I'm a newbie...pliz help me !!!
I don't think anything like rom kitchen has been done yet; so far i think the best we've got is big storage hack. I guess there may be some extensions of big storage/extended rom that would work, but I've not looked into it further.

No sorry, there is a sof or sthg for this. My BOSS told me that he saw someone doing this one day but he can't remember which soft it was with. The guy did that on a Qtek 2020. I'm looking for how to do it on a XDA II mini pliz ??

For the Qtek 2020 it's much simpler, as the "Storage" area can be made writable. But it's true, it can be done for the XDA mini also. The procedure was something along the following lines:
- dump the correct portion of your ROM to an SD card - which portion that is I can't remember right now
- copy it to your PC, using ntrw
- move it to a Linux PC, and mount this binary file as a FAT file system
- copy whatever you want into that file system
- copy the binary back to your Windows PC, back to your SD card, and flash it back to your mini's ROM.
This has been described in more detail elsewhere, in one of the threads dealing with BigStorage. You can find it using the Search function. I do not think there's an easier way than that at the moment. Qtek 2020 and XDA mini are just too different.
Cheers

- dump the correct portion of your ROM to an SD card - which portion that is I can't remember right now
I didn't understand this line...I'm such a newbie so i'd like to have it step by step if possible pliz...and another question : Do you really have to move the binary files to linux ? I have only windows and I don' t like LINUX that much. Can you explain step by step pliz and what is the soft ntrw, gimme a link to download it by PM pliz, so nice thanks a lot !!
ps: and if you can tell how to it on a Qtek2020 it will be very nice too.
Like i said prashanth, it's not really userfriendly yet. It's best not to be a newbie and try something so involved; there's not really much reason to do so anyway. I find it most convenient to make a self installing backup of my working PPC, and Keep it on storage and/or storage card. That way, even if there's a hard reset, everything can be up and running within 3 minutes. However, installing all software from a hard reset, registering all software, sorting your startmenu, setting everything up etc - it's quicker just to backup and restore!

Thanks for your helps though. I really need to know (step by step if possible) how to add some files or soft ina ROM. Thx
Hi, very new on here and very new to the Pocket PC and Imate JAM. I have read allot about backing up ROM and process to get big storage hack but almost everything I read is way over my head. Like what is the extended ROM?? Ssooooo, can someone take all of the latest TIPS and show me the BEST and EASIEST way to upgrading my Imate JAM??? I still have the original ROM but would like to upgrade to the newest 1.12 ROM and 1.12 Radio ROM. I then would like to know how to keep some Imate specific programs installed like Intellitype.(I dont use MMS) PLEASE!!! I will even paypal someone some money for providing this BASIC elementary school level BIG STORAGE upgrade. Please dont assume anything about my level of knowledge as it is VERY basic. Thanks in advance for taking on this challenge. By the way, in the end I would want the latest Imate JAM WWE ROM and Radio in English.(I live in United States and use T-mobile on the 1900mhz band)
bump bump bump
Ok... I think you won't get many replies, because what you are looking for has already been posted here many times. The big problem is that the info could indeed be burried inside very huge threads, so it will take a lot of reading to find it. But I'll try to summarize...
You will need to download the latest ROM for your Magician. Most likely you will want to stay with the ROM specifically designed for your device, for example from I-Mate. That way at least you can perform the ROM upgrade without any fuzz.
Log on to I-mate (or whatever) and download the latest ROM. Reboot both the PC and the Magician and execute the installer. After about 20 minutes, you are done.
You'll want to have access the Extended ROM, where all the standard settings and programs are stored. To do that, you will have to copy Extended ROM to a safe place, because when you have done the Big Storage thing, Extended ROM is gone, and so are these files. In order to get to the Extended ROM, you'll have to:
Hard reset the device after the ROM upgrade, as you are told on screen when the upgrade is finished. This means pushing the power button, while using the stylus on the reset button, located at the bottom of the device. The Magician resets and the setup routine begins. You are asked to perform calibration of the screen and time zone, before the OS is ready to run. Then, a few seconds after you see the Today screen, a 3 seconds countdown appears. At this exact moment you must perform a reset, which simply means pushing the button with the stylus again, this time without using the power button. Now the device will restart without installing files from Extended ROM, and more importantly, without hiding the Extended ROM.
Connect the Magician to the PC using ActiveSync and copy the folder Extended_ROM, located at root, to your SD card and make a backup on your PC. You are now technically ready to take on Big Storage...
But! Beware that If your skills are at the level you suggest, you may end up killing your Magician, instead of gaining Big Storage. This has happened to a lot of people, who then had to struggle their way into getting their device functioning again. Be absolutely sure that you are willing to take the risk, because you may end up cursing yourself for doing this.
Still happy going on? Ok... What's coming next is my edit of other peoples work, so I don't take any credit for it. Unfortunately I don't remember who wrote it either...
You will need to download and install the 'Backup Tools1' found on the FTP part of this forum, to perform the following steps. ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/Tools/
Backing up your current ROM:
Make sure you backup your ROM for 2 reasons. Firstly, because you will need to edit part of your ROM in order to be able to flash your Magician with the no extended ROM, and secondly, because you might need it either for flashing your phone in case of a malfunction so you can send it back under warranty with the original ROM, or for helping you to flash future upgrades.
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 ActiveSync 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 Magician, 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 your 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 your_rom.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 your_rom.nb1. Make sure you keep your_rom.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 your_rom.nb1 file ntrw might give you an error, just don’t pay attention to it.
Patching you ROM:
1. Use Hex Editor to open the your_rom.nb1 file on your PC
2. Use the FIND function to locate "02 00 00 80 00 20 20 00 00" and change it to "02 00 00 b8 01 20 20 00 00". Note that this is a hex search, not ascii, so enter the search as 'Bytes'. You will find this pattern twice inside your ROM, and both should be changed.
Transferring your no extended ROM File from your hard disk to the sd card:
1. Get the fixed no extended ROM file to your C drive root directory run the command ntrw write fixed.nb1 x: in the command prompt window where fixed.nb1 is the filename of your fixed ROM and x the SD card drive letter. Wait till it finishes and move to the final step.
Flashing the Fixed no extended ROM to your Magician:
1. Put your SD card into your Magician and get your Magician to boot loader mode again (power+camera+reset buttons). On your unlighted screen you will see it says serial wait and after some seconds it will say (Press Power to flash).
2. Do as it says and it will start flashing. When your Magician reaches 100% flashing, it will check the checksum. Don't worry about the message Checksum failed - Flashing failed and soft reset your Magician. Please notice that the first boot may take something like 5 minutes, so don't worry about it.
When your device reboots, you now have a Big Storage Magician! If you need parts of the Extended ROM installed, like fax, MMS or whatever, you can simply click on the files inside the Extended_ROM folder you backed up earlier and they will install.
My guess is that by now you will have realized that there IS no easy way to get the Big Storage. Even though it sounds harder than it is, it does take some time and care to perform right.
There are other ways to do Big Storage, but this is the clean way. You don't have to rely on patchers, and you won't have your boot screen turned into something that another user think looks cool. This is the real deal with only 4 bytes getting changed, and you know for sure you'll have the right Extended ROM available as a backup, and that is as good as it gets!
WOW!! This is excellent and very well done. I am glad to be learning so much about these ROM's. Two questions before I tackle this(I know Im such a newbie)
Give me a couple days and I will report back on my progress.
Magician Extended Rom Unlocker Works!!!
Wow major thanks & god bless -- exactly follow your simple directions (add final reboot blue imate screen takes awhile) and wow - its done - now to change my pants....
After a few hours of struggling I finally got it working!!
Thanks HBK
:shock: wow...am imperessed...thanx HBK..
It's not a matter of not knowing how to make big storage (i've already did it a couple of times :wink: ),but the issue here is that u wrote a "manual"!!!!
thanx bro...hell am gonna copy every word u said and add it to my archive under "HBK big storage manual"... :wink:
Thanx again for ur time!!!!!

Hi all,
Another newbie here, just wanted to checked before I tried this upgrade, but will this work on my XDA II mini?
Im soooo sick of having no memory, so I hope it is!
Deva
hey just a quick question thatnls a lot for the write up
what size sd card do you have to use
i used a 256 (only have that or a 1gig one) and the boot loader comes up with a message rom size too small

I tried using my 1 gig card and the hex editor wouldn't open it as it was too large (The rom will be the same size as your card). I then found the patch to automatically apply the big storage and it worked a treat. I don't have a 256 but I heard a fair few people use it for their upgrades....
HBK is the king. He's danish
good going babyy.. *thumbs up*..
i cant wait to reach home and try the procedure...
after waiting for so long, i finally got home, and sat down to install bigstorage by my new 256 mb card... but the problem isnt solved... why does it say 'card initialize is fail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'.. maaan im soo fuked..

RAGO :lol:
SD 128MB
It was almost the same with me? some errors with my SD 512 Kingston (back up done well, asking push the power, but after romupdate & ntrw nothing happen ), after the card died, was finding another one about friends. It was 128 mb Trancend good one. I did it with my 12.128.12 on MDA-Compact? then upgraded radio till 13 about month ago!
when i try to copy my modifiedrom.nb1 to the SDcard through ntrw... it says... 'the semaphore timeout period has expired'... wot does it mean?.. had it not copied rom to the sd card?... or shud i just ignore it.??.. reply as soon as possible..
Just wanted to know can this method of changing the hex code work on all the ROMs, like even ones that may be released in the future?? Or does the Hex code change for ech ROM version??
And what actually are you doing when you change 02 00 00 80 00 20 20 00 00 to 02 00 00 b8 01 20 20 00 00??

Will this work for the imate JasJar?
Sorry, to ask such a basic question, but this is all very new to me. I've been reading the site for the past week or so trying to get a handle on all the information. I definately want to remove the EXT_ROM from my JasJar to free up as much memory as possible. Will the procedure listed above (HUGE Thanks to HBK) work for my iMate JasJar? Thanks.
P.S. I do realize that this is a "JAM" thread, sorry for the overlap. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what is meant by "cooking" (which I'm guessing means "modifying"). Any help is definately appreciated.
card initialize is fail!!!
Hi guys, i also got the same prob with Castiwo ..card initialize is fail!!! i used SD 128MB Sandisk.. how to work it out? many tks
I've got a question. I understand that if you did the BigStorage patch, and then you restored from a backup when you didn't have the BigStorage patch, you'd have only wasted your time getting the BigStorage as everything would be over-written.
So here's my question. Does it work the other way around? I mean, if for example you had a backup (from Sprite, xBackup, or whatever else software) from where you had a BigStorage patch, then you restore from that backup onto a Magician with the original, unpatched ROM, would it work?
Hi I know the big storage hack is plastered all over this forum but i still cant get it right.Some one please help me!
Ive got a magician with rom version 1.13.00 WWE radio v. 1.12.00 (i used to have 1.12.00 but i upgraded it by accident.<I woz finkin of it anyway>)
I fink Ive tried every procedure possible but always have problems but basically this is what ive done:
1.Using OS image tool ive copied my rom to pc.
2.Ive changed the 80 00 00 thingy to b8 01.
3.Ive tried to use the os image tool to write it back t ppc but it comes with a usb/communication error in programme A.Im using this way because I have only 32mb mmc card.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks

Try the wiki (top right link on the page) & go to the magician section. It contains a description howto patch a shipped-rom, the one you used to upgrade to 1.13WWE, & get BS. Apperently you missed this method.
Cheers, M
I already have all of them files.Wen I patch it the size goes right up then 'programme a' doesnt copy it over becuase its too big.it has 2 b excactly 32 i fink and after i patch it the size changes.
My main problem is getting the rom over 2 the magician.Since I dont have a card the only 2 ways i can fink are using osimage tool or program a, both of these im having problems with.I have roms that i have patched and changed the 416 bytes to my roms.I have roms that were patched and ive changed to my roms.I have roms made using byte copy.I just cant get any of them over!!
Thanks 4 ure help,
Gareth

Stop,
You're going in the wrong direction. The BS from shipped-rom method is about patching the provider supplied exe file. & after the patch you run it like a regular rom-upgrade. No SD or MMC involved!!! It's a rom-update via USB like the normal update.
pls read it once again @ the wiki.
ok thanks im trying that now.Im stuck on getting nbfdec to run.Ive extracted it to the unzipped rom folder.I open ms-dos command prompt and drag and drop the .exe on the command line to save typing the path.The program runs but then it crashes.Can anyone help me?
Try putting everything in "C:\BS" saves a lot of typing errors including filename handling.
Ive done that now but I dont know how to execute the command.Do you think you could type the whole command for me?When I open command prompt it says this c:\documents and settings\rod simpson\> ive tryped typing in that command but i dont know how to put it in with the path etc.
Sorry for going on and on I cant get my head round it!
Thanks

Hi Rod,
To go to C:\BS from your personal doc&settings type on the commandline:
cd \ [Enter]
now you should be in C:\
then type:
cd bs [Enter]
now you should be in C:\BS
Works for other directories too.
Cheers, M
Thanks, that helped me a lot.Ive done everything els now so I converted it back to nbf and then executed the maupgrade_noid.It checked device info then displayed the rom to and from screen and both were blank.I proceeded and it displayed the 'success' screen but nothing had actually happened on the ppc.Ive tried the other upgrade program and the one thats cracked on the site.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Did you reset after the update process finished? & if so did it boot normally? & if so did you look at the internal storage folder size? Cause that's the only thing that's changed & the ext-rom has disappeared. Oh & you shouldn't see the customization start after a hard-reset...
btw rom to & from shouldn't be blank, pls run the update program without patch cause I think the editing somehow invalidated the shipped-rom. The original upgrade program should work & if so you know what's going on. If the original program fails there might be something with your device.
So start the plain shipped-rom first to find out..
Thankyou!Its worked!!
I went from scratch and downloaded all the files again.This time i didnt put my own header in the file because i thought thats where i'm going wrong.My devicedata.txt file looked like gibberish to me and it wouldnt copy and paste in to hex editor.So i just left it.I changed the 2 values in the code, converted it and flashed it.Will not having my header cause problems?My storage is now 26.72mb is that right?
Thankyou very much oltp for your help.It's much appreciated.
I think this site is long overdue a donation from me.

The header contains info about romtype & provider name, probably some things more I'm
not sure about. The reason for changing it is to avoid errors like the country id error. With the use of maupgradeut_noid it's less important.
One thing I'm questioning is the reason why some of us have probs with connecting to the, I believe, special O2 services. Some claim there not able to connect anymore... Can some other setting as well. I'm on T-Mobile & everything works fine.
Basically if the upgrade was succesfull, you have an enlarged storage & the rest of your device will be working as before.
Cheers, M
how much space would i have in my main memory now? i have a 64+64 system (O2 Xda Mini) now branded to T-Mobile 1.33 and now applied the new patch (BIG STORAGE) using the Wiki Information guides. However any idea how much FREE space on first reboot i should have.
did the first reboot...(soft reboot) after flash...its been 3 mins and just the T-Mobile Screen..how lng should i wait before i "think" its a bad flash?
nevermind got it
Total Main Memory - (FREE MEMORY) - 43.99MB Storage / 25.54 MB Programs! woo hoo this is HOT

Have fun, M
all,
look over here.
cheers!
Sorry to say, but it's old news. We got a thread about it for three months now I guess with that method. Problem is you always need to update first & then dump your rom again. & somehow not all dumps are accurate. The brick change with a SD is larger than with a shipped-rom.

Hi Guys...Please help me
I have Very2 Trouble....
Im using Tomal ROM for My Uni....But Im Set encryption File in Setting/system/Encryption
My Uni ReUpgrade With EF 2.40 Last night.....Before Reupgrade, I Backup System using spb Backup, i save to storage card. After Reupgrade,file Backup Can't Acces/open...
How to Unencryption this file???? Because All file in program file,backup file can't Open...
I'm sorry but as far as I know there is no way you can restore an encrypted file. When you reflash ROM your Uni has different encryption - as if it were a different Uni. Obviously, the point of encrypted files is only the originator can read it. I don't think even reflashing with the original ROM will allow, as the encryption code will be changed again.
You would have had to copy your SD card to your PC using ActiveSync before flashing ROM.
Today I reflash Again using TOmal ROM...
But No Can Find Solution....
SO Sad...
Sorry ajie,
I have had a further investigation, and it looks like Microsoft are putting a stronger message when ticking the 'encryption' box. However OEM don't seem to be passing this on. (Perhaps a small note for all cookers?)
Please see my post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2718217#post2718217 which will not be any more help.

Thanks For your Respon Jon....
I have an ASUS P320.
During flashing a Windows 6.5 ROM, it went bad and now I am not able to boot the phone or do anything.
I have tried 2-3 ROMs to re-flash by putting them in my SD card, but every time it says "Read SD busy !"
I also tried to re-flash it using original 4.10 ROM from official ASUS website but here is where I get stuck up:
BTLR 3.1
Init SD Control
IPL: Insert SD Card
Start SD Init
Get MBR success
start find images
can't find galaxymini-ond.raw !
find 850_GAX_SD.bin !
can't find FLASH.BIN !
can't find GSM.BIN !
can't find EXT_ROM.NB0 !
valid package percentage: 100
Read SD busy !
No GSMFFS
Total 3 images in package
FLASH.BIN in package !
GSM.BIN in package !
EXT_ROM.NB0 in package !
after all these msgs I waited for too long, but nothing happens. I repeated this many times, but it stucks after this and I am not able to write any new ROM anyhow on my phone.
I am really really in big trouble as this is my only phone and I am really depressed. Plz can anyone just help me with how to proceed to write a new or any old ROM on my phone? I will be really thankful
Seriously noone has any clue or willing to help?

Thanks so much for the reply.
But how to use this tool? I am confused?
I kept the 850_GAX_SD_Enc ROM in the same folder as this tool and then run Split P320 ROM.exe
But P320binDEC.exe shows application error. I am running this under Windows XP. Please help me.
Ok I installed .Net Framework 2.0 and everything worked and the files were extracted.
Then I had put all files in root of SD card.
It shows:
BTLR 3.1
Init SD Control
IPL: Insert SD Card
Start SD Init
Get MBR success
start find images
can't find galaxymini-ond.raw !
find 850_GAX_SD.bin !
find FLASH.BIN !
find GSM.BIN !
find EXT_ROM.NB0 !
valid package percentage: 99
Read SD busy !
No GSMFFS
Total 3 images in package
FLASH.BIN in package !
GSM.BIN in package !
EXT_ROM.NB0 in package !
and it stops again. Nothing happens :| What should I do?

Thanks a trillion. This tool injected life into my P320. It had been dead for the past 2-3 months. You are a savior.

I had the prob same as u.
What I did was installed 4.15 WWE than tried to upgrade to WM6.5 from 4.10ZHH WM6.1, and the errors came out.
I even had the paragraph saying
"This concludes the beta test of this
software release. Thank you very much for
your time and effort in helping make this a
great product for our customers.
To obtain a newer release or futher
information,please revisit the web site that
you used to obtain your current beta
release."--------then it got stuck and the only buttons that worked were the volume and reset buttons. And I thought its done that all I could do was to sell it.
But then I split the 850_GAX_SD_Enc.bin(which was from a different language 4.15 zip,referring above), the following came up:
850_gax_sd.bin
GSM.BIN
FLASH.BIN
EXT_ROM.NB0
and others, but I only copy these 4 into SD card cause they were the things that stated "can'"t find"' and I couldnt find galaxymini-ond and GSM.RAM.....and yes I did put 850_gax_sd.bin in instead of the capital one(accidentally!!!cus i thought they were the same, but apparently not...ANYWAY I DID!)
then i inserted the card, flash reset(volume down + reset) it,
it took quite a while to install(abt 10-15 mins)
like u said a pure white screen occurred and it frozen.
then I press the switch on button on top and restart the device...
the old version came up again with 4.15ZHH and WM 6.1 (green) and everything got back to default just like the very first day I bought it.
this is all i did, i think the different between us was that i used a different language of 4.15 and the 850_gax_sd.bin..... not very sure on yours but it worked on mine somehow... I'm not an expert on computer and programmes stuff, and i really cant tell if errors are still left in the device after what i did, so beware of this prob if you follow.
