After 2 days of messing with this and learning more about flashing ROMS than I ever wanted to it finally worked!!!
If you messed up by not SuperCID(ing) your phone before you flashed it because you didn't follow directions like me, here is a solution that i had to dig up from various forums and threads to get your phone back to WM5.
1. Downloaded the imate wm5 from here:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/smartphones/Tornado/Shipped_Complete_Updates/I-mate
2. Downloaded the Typhoonnbftool...just google it. I used version .4.
3. Find out what your original CID id is by using the Ttermpro. (make sure the Allow USB Connections is unchecked in Activesync...i spent an hour trying to get ttermpro to work)
refer to this thread for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319588
4. Now run the typhoonnbf tool. File > Open the .nbf file you downloaded in step 1. (imate wm5)
Tools > Edit Data Header
Change the Operator to match what your SuperCID id is (Step 3) and type in 99.99.99.99 (i'm sure any high number will work here) in the "Image Version" field as well as the "Secondary Version" in the header of the .nbf. (i'm not sure if the Secondary version is necessary, but i did it anyway to be safe)
Sample of what it should look like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5. Save the file under a different name in the same directory. Move the orignal .nbf file to a safe location. Rename the edited version to nk.nbf
6. Run the ROM update utility and it should work
Good Luck and don't give up hope.
Hi All... I didnt notice and i tried to run ((Artemis_Touch_Vanilla_4.02.zip)) this ROM on HTC touch and its got stuck on HTC logo screen and says OS 3.13.0.0 .... Please help me... i have tried to restart and tried what ever possible but nothing is working it comes back to same screen...Please help ...please

512k nbf
Hi
After I edit the nk.nbf file the resulting file is only 512k so the rom updater won't load it.
What do I do?
try using another version of typhoonnbftools
1. Downloaded the imate wm5 from here:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/smartph...Updates/I-mate
The link doesn't seem to work for me. It poped up "error 503: permission denied".
Does anyone have the same problem. Where else can I get an imate wm5? Thanks a lot

Use ftp://[email protected]
you should be asked for login details, use xda as user + password
then navigate the folders starting with the smartphone then Tornado links, you should be able to find it from there.
New problem
I got another version of Typhoonnbftools and successfully edited the header of the file. Flash seemed to go fine right up until reboot. It restarted and displayed o2 splash screen (which should have been overwritten by the imate rom) and continues to bootloader.

I will just stick with installing it as is then.
Folks, all I have done is:
1. Extract the finnish rom into a folder using winrar.
2. Copied MaUpgradeUt_NoID.exe into the folder.
3. Disabled USB in ActiveSync.
4. Run MaUpgradeUt_NoID.exe
5. Reset the iMate into Bootloader using Camera+Power buttons held with soft reset.
6. Connected the iMate with USB.
On the last stretch now so I will post results.

I still got the same problems. If i use the original MaUpgradeUt i get the "error 201: get device data error" and if i use the MaUpgradeUt_NoID i get the empty version thing. Can somebody please help me? I even tried to upgrade with the SD method but only found the spanish ROM on the xda-delveloper FTP with no results. If somebody nows where to find the ROM mda_compact_upd_en_1.zip from the nowicom.com page, could you please let me know?
I'm realy out of ideas so if somebody got any.........

My Prophet has stopped reading SIM cards, and will need a warranty repair.
I can't take it in as it is, what with Jesters spash screen and all. I just assumed I could re-run a previous rom to have it install, but apparently you can't "downgrade".
I've tried looking for downgrade guides, but I haven't managed to find one. Ultimately, as long as I can get the splash screens to have it boot up to "Invalid or Missing Sim" I should be home free, but how do I get them out of the previous rom? Or, how do I edit the rom so it'll install on my device?
I've tried using TyphoonNBFtool to edit the image version, when I go to resave the rom, it only saves 2kb, so I'm obviously missing something here. I'm currently looking into ways to strip files from the rom itself.
Any ideas or suggestions here?
I have had (and still have) problems with my S200. I have installed the LVSW AKU2.3 ROM and I did not have any problems with the warranty.
They just check the image, OS, SW release and radio version and they all passed the warranty check.
So there is no need downgrading.

Well, half the reason I wanted to was to learn how to do it.
Which was successful!

This thread had all the tools I was after, and a PDF with tutorial. Obviously I just substituted what I required, and whammo. I initially attempted to use the prophet RomUpdateUtility-No Vendor ID, but that didn't work. So I tried the Wizard one that was included in the tools, and it worked no hassles.
So yeah, I'll take it back tomorrow.
Summary: You can't downgrade roms because if the IPL or SPL version (primary and secondary boot sections, or something) is lower than the one you have installed on your phone, it won't let you install anything. "This NBF file cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please get newer NBF file." So you have to use the tools in the above thread to split the nbf up into it's appropriate sections (OS, Extended Rom, IPL, SPL, Phone splash, HTC splash and GSM), then re-combine them without the IPL and SPL using a Cooking Guide and then use a working Rom Update Utility (as I mentioned above, I had to use the Wizard one that came with the tools because the Prophet one kept saying it couldn't open the "required file") to install it onto your phone.
You can use this thread if you're only interested in changing your boot splashes.
Hi,
Any friend, pls let me know how to unlock this guy?

spv-service?
Yes , but when I ran SPV-service : it say "Unknown Error 2146994773 in read operation"
Did you install cert.cab ? Did you application unlock your phone ?
I copied form NET
Just do exactly what it says here:-
Requirements
• An SPV C500 (this method apparently works for the C550 and C600 too)
• A USB Cable
• ActiveSync installed and working
• An Orange SIM (doesn't have to be active, though)
How to unlock the phone
1. Connect the phone to your computer, and verify ActiveSync connects ok.
2. Download 'regeditSTG.zip' and copy to the phone using ActiveSync. Make sure you use the zip file - the .exe alone will not properly work, and the phone can handle zip files natively.
3. Using the File Manager (Start, more, more, accessories, file manager on my phone) navigate to the directory you saved the file to, open the .zip file, and run the regedit.exe file inside.
4. To "application unlock" the phone, change the following registry values:
In: HKLM/Security/Policies/Policies
Change 00001001 from current value to 1
Change 00001005 from current value to 40
5. Turn the phone off and back on.
6. Download spv-services.zip to your PC, and unzip.
7. Copy the cert.cab file over to your phone, find it using File Manager, and let it run the cert.cab file. This will install an app signing certificate that the next step relies on.
8. Run the 'SPVServices.exe' file on your PC - it will communicate with your phone via activesync. Please note that this file connects to a remote server to do the unlocking calculations, so requires an internet connection. I also found that it doesn't work properly if you have IE7 (beta 2 in my case) installed. Rolling back to IE6 made the application work properly. Hopefully this will be resolved in a future release.
9. Finally, test the phone with your non-orange SIM card.
I hope this page helps some people unlock their phones for free without being ripped off by some of the online sellers. I didn't create any of the tools used to do this, so many thanks to the skilled individuals who did. "
I tried to run cert.cab and regedit.exe in SP but unsuccessful. I though , they have new IPL and SPL , also they have a newer lock's way.
Anybody can help me?
on my c600 i've used spv-services without problems

If you have AKU2 installed no go for unlocking you will have to flash to IMATE or QTEK rom by patching the header of the IMATE NBF file to match orange AKU2 file then flashing there is post on google ablut this just do a search.
"failed to create empty document" problem for me too
apparently i have rom version 2.0.6.0 but i am having millions of problems

See ya from Mexico
I'm trying to flash a new ROM and can't get past the USPL stage
I run the 'uspl_116_jockyw.bat' and pause it on the "start MTTY [or whatever] or RUU" and I then try to the run the ROMUpdateUtilitiy.exe.
All goes well, but at 100%, it says "Image file is corrupt" and then that's it, it restarts.
I've tried different versions of the file with no success
Is it to do with my Application unlock? When I run that is says something along the lines of "SDA [or phone] is not unlockable" but I click unlock, and it instantly says "unlock successful"
At the moment I've only been able to install Opera. WIFIRouter and Messenger won't install.
Thanks
first unlock with the sda unlock. then flash uspl. run rom update utility.exe. after that run flash.exe on whichever rom it is that u wish to flash. if this doesnt work, do a hard reset and repeat all the steps. 100% it will work. when u get to the final prompt asking u to start mtty or whatever, dont press any key to continue the process. instead run ruu.exe. itll work
So is it normal for the Application Unlock utility to say "This device is not unlockable" [or something along those lines].
I can't install any programs on the deivce either. It says they don't have the correct permissions. Is that not what the app unlocker is meant to do?
EDIT:
OK, so this is what I am doing:
1) hard reset the phone [hold soft keys, turn on, press end etc]
2) connect to ActiveSync
3) Run SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe

4) I click OK and it claims to have unlocked.
5) remove SD card and turn phone off then on.
6) Run uspl_116_jockyw.bat. I hit enter a few times,my phone then asks me to confirm running an app. It does this twice, the last being harat.exe. Screen goes black with Tux the Penguin.
I halt on this screen [Ignore the error - I screen capped this on a later attempt without hard reset]
I then run ROMUpdateUtility.exe check the boxes, and click next etc. It goes to RGB bars, then a grey screen with a progress bar. The bar gets to 100% then I get this error
and the phone resets?
What am I doing wrong?
Any help is appreciate. I can't stand the Orange crippled ROM.
Thanks
Right HERE is the solution for any Orange SPV e650 users wanting to unlock and flash.
These 3 files are crucial:
MoDaCo_SPV_E650_de_Brand___Fix_Pack.PREP.CAB
MoDaCo_SPV_E650_de_Brand___Fix_Pack_0.5.CAB
RemoveSecurity.CAB
Only once those have been run can you follow the steps found on the wiki page.
Thanks to everyone who works on these ROMs. It's is simply awesome the work you do.
I salute you!
So.. i was attempting to remove the google authentication bs from my phone. found a thread that told me to download Odin, and install this file..
COMBINATION_TMB_FA50 xxxx
I checked before "doing" this and my phone was branded as " G920TUVU5FQK1 "
I should also note, that i re-downloaded that "combination file" crap.. "COMBINATION_TMB_FA50_G920TUVU5APJ1_TMBFAC_CL6309376_QB11118299_REV02_user_mid_noship.tar" -- Which - when i looked it up was supposed to be for "G920TUVU5FQK1" system.
however, when i load the phone up now,, it says the Factory Binary loadup screen.. and now shows the phone as " G920TUVU6ARA1 "
rofl
So i looked everywhere. Went to the dumb site and downloaded my actual firmware 9for the QK1) -
G920TUVU5FQK1_G920TTMB5FQK1_G920TUVU5FQK1_HOME.tar.md5
I open Odin as admin, load in the AP section, annnnnnd this is what happens.

So now im a little frustrated... Not sure what to do.
I have used 2 different cables when connecting the computer, installed the samsung usb drivers etc.. i just cant solve this and now im asking for help.
(please provide any links you can to further help me with my problem!!!)
How screwed am i? how can i fix this? ( i do have a 2nd computer i can attempt some stuff on.)
Thanks
idk this is still works but u should try
Testing now
Video did not help,. the smart app thing didnt even give me an option to factory data reset it.
I dont know what to do. I have no idea why the phone says this new PDA, clearly i installed a combination file that was for a diff PDA.
Can anybody help. Odin just Fails, Fails Fails Fails.
bump!
I dont know what to do anymore -=(
When i connect the phone to my computer and "Turn it on on" it makes my computer blue screen of death rofl.
in download mode it doesnt though.
bump - last attempt before a take a hammer to it =)
It's unlikely due to the PDA (it's just an OS revision). Can you link us to the location where you downloaded the file ? I guess it is the content of that package that caused trouble on your phone.
Try to flash the latest firmware available (you can download it through the SamFirm software or from SamMobile.com).
Well ironically out of the 9 (nine) AP downloads i tried, all failed... but when i downloaded a stock firmware which had 4 files - it got to like 95%. and stayed there for about an hour ( not sure if thats normal?? or if i should have left it in?)
I honestly have been trying to find that exact 4 file download for my PDA version or w.e. (since this version was for a completely diff PDA - i assume thats why it stopped at 95%)
15 hours later the download is like 90% complete lol. I really... really hope this stupid downlod is not a single AP file again sigh..
Does anybody have a reccomendation for the G920TUVU5FQK1 system? ( all 4 files included )
ive googled my ass off only to find ripoff password protected .rars and "make an account to download. but on wait now you have to pay bull****"
Once i unplugged it at 95% - it now says that the OS cannot load - so thats a good sign, the Factory Binary bull**** is off of it.
I just need toget my hands on the correct 4 file .rar (all 4 files for odin) and im square.)
Much appreciated.
Hello.
Would anybody be willing to help me. I am begging here, over 3 weeks without my phone, i dont know what to do.
I would very much like it if somebody could LINK me a legit link to a Galaxy S6 920T Stock Firmware ( ALL 4 files... not just 1)
Every time i freaking find one.... i download it... it asks for a password to extract the gd .rar =(
Please help me!!!
