Cannot Flash New ROM (.rar) - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development

Hi, I just went through all the steps for unlocking and flashing ROM on the Wizard wiki. I got all the way through just fine until it came time to find a wm6 ROM. Every one i download is in .rar format and will not unzip properly, i tried using winRAR and such, but my computer wont run them for installation. What do i do?

what do you mean? are you using winrar to open the package and flash from inside the compressed archive??? you have to decompress it first. Rightclick; extract to "rom.rar" ; and a new folder should appear on your desktop. only then you can run the utility.
If your problem is the upgrade utility is telling you that you need a new versiion, then you are probably not completely unlocked. try "wizard service tool" to unlock.

could some one just post a step by step process on how to flash new ROM?
Because its just not working.

Normally you just have to try agaion without resettiong yout device. Just restart your computer and restart the upgrade. If it says USB V1.00 it's much better then it says nothing ! i'm shure it will not be dead at thîs point !!

That's the country id error normally its simple to get that propblem solved but i don't know how, it must be somewhere at the forum here
I tryed using this:
MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
but got a .dll error
embraser,
see my last post in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13228&start=350
I posted the MA_UpgradeUT_Kabubi that I used in order to flash mine. If you're getting a DLL error make sure that you're copying this file in the same folder as the other files (in the TEMP folder)

This gets more complicated as a new attempt to help me arrives.
What other files in the TEMP folder are you talking about?
I think I'm probably in need of a step by step, because I don't know anymore what to do with all the files you guys were so kind on giving me.
Please...
Very easy:
1. Get that ROM fille (it should be an exe)
2. Put it in a folder (e.g. C:\ROM)
3. Right click on the rom file and select "extract files here" (if you have WinRAR)...basically just extract the files to the folder.
4. Put MaUpgradeUT_noID in same folder
5. Run MAUpgradeUT_noID

cheeeeeeeers
it still didn't work...
I got the rom, put the no id file in the same folder, executed the upgrade and got the wrong id country message, then i ran the no id file and again got the .dll error, then i repeated it several times and still nothing.

Did you extract the rom into the folder? If you Unzip ma_tmde_10601_130_10500_ship.zip you end up with a file called ma_tmde_10601_130_10500_ship.exe. Once you have this file, you should right click on it and use the "extract here" option. If you do not have this option then you need to install winrar.
The folder you extract the rom to should have the following files visible.
EnterBL.exe
GetDeviceData.exe
MaUpgradeUT.exe
ms_.nbf
nk.nbf
radio_.nbf
RUU.conf
RUU.dll
UI.dll
copy over the no country file and re run it following the above instructions.
I did all you told me to do, downloaded the
ma_tmde_10601_130_10500_ship.zip
extracted the
MA_TMDE_10601_130_10500_Ship.exe
then right-clicked on it an there's no extraction option, only compression on winrar.
here it is =)
www.world-board.net/tmde.zip
I Unzipped it and add the NOID exe =)
But I just want to tell you once more, your MDAc is German after this Procedure
Finally some progress.
I used the
MA_Qtek(BrPt)_10600_116_10500_SHIP.exe
file and it did something in 2 stages, some radio upgrade and then something else, but nothing else.
Now what?

Cook your splash screen

Btw, this is where I got the ability to cook my splash screen on my ROMs. You know the first bootscreen.
Here.
I don't speak Vietnamese, but it's pretty easy to figure out. If you don't understand me, tell me and I'll write a walkthrough. The pictures tell it all, though.
EDIT:
Things you need:
-Thay Doi_SplashScreen.
-NBH_Tool_v1.1.
-HTC_ROM_Tool.
Create a BMP or JPG that's 240x320.
Run Chạy Tool Replace SplashScreen.exe
Click Load Bitmap and choose your file.
Click Update Splash.
It will create the needed files where the BMP/JPG is currently stored.
Take the ruu_signed.nbh and use NBH_Tool_v1.1 to extract the PrimarySplash.nb that you can use with your ROM.
you should probably type it up anyway. hah
Thanks for the link, Ivan
Can someone upload the files, I cant read the site so I cant make a log in lol.
Thx
Write up

Thanks Ttran!! I knew someone would step in and help me in my time of laziness.
Dumb Question
Okay, this is probably a dumb question.

My questions is Now what do I do to flash it to the phone. Go back to step 1?
Please Advise
Thanks

Okay got it. Will try it. Thanks.
by the way, thanks so much for using Megaupload and Not Rapidshare. Megaupload is by far the best.
I'm nervous about doing this but here goes.
Just one question. I put the PrimarySplash.nb in splash box and not system box -- right?
Please advise.
thanks. (I just don't want to brick my phone.)
Got it -- worked. You are a Genius.
Okay I did what I thought and it worked great. Thanks again!!!!!
yay for viets! (sorry gotta represent)

Haven't tested that, but it's probably for one of the other two startups. The first startup cannot be changed without flashing.

did you make the picture that you want for the flash screen ? Did you download the easy how to as well ???
Ok I am no noob .. Maybe im too tired or I missed something somewhere in all of this. So let me ask all the dumb questions and hopefully you can make this a sticky clearly explained. Lets start will all the directions 1 by 1 and hopefully 1 of you geniuses can clean it up then hopefully make a sticky .....
A.) Download all files needed. (assistance is more than welcomed here)
B.) get the picture you want to use for your splash screen.
(**Instructions written by ttran001**)
1. Copy the image you would like to use into the image folder.
2. Open up the Step 1 folder and run the Replace SplashScreen.exe file.
3. Click on Load Bitmap from the newly opened menu (Replace Artemis SPlashScreen.
4. Click on the Update Splash button.
The PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.0.3.1 menu will pop up.
Leave it alone.
5. Go back to the image folder for step 1 and locate the RUU_signed.nbh file.
6. Copy the RUU_singed.nbh and place it into the RUU_signed folder.
7. Go back and close out both PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.0.3.1 and Replace Artemis SplashScreen.
8. Now go to the step 2 folder and double click on the nbhtool.exe.
9.This will open up Dutty's good NBH tool v1.1.
10. Click on the Decompile NBH file button.
11. Browse back to the RUU_singed folder and locate the new RUU_signed.nbh file.
12. Choose the same location or the one of your choosing to save the extract files.
13. Once completed it will extract a new file called PrimarySplash.nb, this is your new Splash replacement file.
OK we now have that part as easy as can be. Now the next parts for creating a nbh file.
Download and extract the HTC_ROM_Tool to your computer.
Double click on the htcrt.exe file to get started.
This new screen will popup.
Click on the Build! button.
On this screen click on the box under the Device: to select your device type.
Choose Herald
Type in your version of the rom, example: 4.10.531.3
Click on the box highlighted in red to choose your OS.nb file.
( Now where do we get this file from i would like that clarified and have it added to a download list for the sticky please.)
Click on the Build ROM botton.
This new screen will popup.
OK ... Now we have a nbh file... Now what would be the correct way of flashing this to a device. also the basic questions.
1.) Will this delete and or change my settings. ?
2.) What are the risks of flashing this way ?
3.) Does this work with HardSPL ?
4.) Does this work without HardSPL ?
5.) Must the picture be a bitmap ?
6.) Can I just use the ReplaceSplashScreen to just change the splash screen ?
7.) Does the program ReplaceSplashScreen work on wing before HardSPL or after or both ?
8.) Maybe im really tired how do I put pictures in this thread ... LOL ...
If I want to change the Windows Mobile splash also, do I change the name from "PrimarySplash" to "Secondary Splash"? or something? thanks.

Welcome aboard!!
Go here and download the 7Z software that will run on your OS.
http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
Then extract the ROM using 7Z.
Follow flashing instructions posted in the sticky thread at the top of your respected devices forum and your done.
I have tried the energy ROM's and they are well done.
Install 7-zip, then right click on the .7z file and under 7-zip, select 'extract files' (don't select 'extract files here', it can be a mess if there's a lot of stuff in there). A pop-up may appear (can't remember); just click ok and it will take a minute or so.

The links worked for me. I don't know why they don't for you.
Did you try this link below...
Step 2
Download this zip archive and unzip it somewhere memorable on your PC (e.g. into a folder on your desktop) - http://dl.google.com/android/reposit...01-windows.zip
It gives a 404 error. Where else can I find that download file?

[SOLVED] [Q] How in the world do I install the drivers!?

I'm frustrated. I've been trying to install the NS drivers for 2 days now to no avail. I don't know where to browse. I've followed many tuts and none of the worked. Either an error appeared afterwards or I couldn't browse to the driver file because it wasn't found. Can somone kindly do a step by step simple explanation of how to do this for windows 7 64 bit... or atleast provide me with a good link?
Thank you
Nexusshacks.com has the files and a video to show you how to do it. It isn't exactly straight forward.

Already tried that method and it isn't working for me! I keep getting the error... and I'm doing it right.. EXACTLY what the guy is doing in the video.
I used that exact video and files when i did mine, Win7 x64 too (though it was the older, GB rooting video/files with older su.zip). You need to unzip the file first, so copy the usb_driver folder onto your desktop or something, then have disk --> usb_driver --> .inf file.
Could you tell me exactly what error you get?

My biggest problem is that when I download and extract the samsung drivers to my desktop it's an .msi file.. Isn't it supposed to be an .exe? Atleast that's what it says on the nexusshacks site.
EDIT: Thanks for the help Harbb but my problem is solved
