I was trying to copy my sig from ppcgeeks over to my new profile here and it wasnt showing the pictures. do you guys not allow that here? Also i didnt see the insert image button, thats the main reason i asked.
to put a image in sig use this code option:
[ IMG ] insert url to file here [/ img ]

please if you have a english pocketpc running on your phone and you have a serial kable
this will only take 5 minutes !
please dump the rum doing the following
Here is the steps to backup the ROM to a file:
1. Connect via Serial cable to XDA II
2. Put XDA II into Bootloader Mode (power button+any direction+reset)
2b. get HyperTerminal Private Edition ftp://ftp.hilgraeve.com/htpe/htpe63.exe
3. Run Hyper Terminal 115200 baud, 8n1, direct to com port.
4. Issue d2s command to backup ROM to SD. You'll need an empty SD card with 64Mb or more size (i used 128)
5. Once the ROM is dumped, reset your XDA.
6. Put the SD card to your card reader.
7. Use ntrw (http://home.comcast.net/~kenzhao8/downloads.htm, it is in cfutils.zip):
ntrw read test.nb1 m:
This assumes your SD card has drive letter M:
8. Copy the nb1 rom file to a zip and post it to a site.
Then we can download the ROM, unzip, use ntrw to write back to SD and go into bootloader mode with SD card inserted, hit camera button and flash our MDA II to english rom.
thanks to PalMop for the info
Update, I got a copy of the English ROM !!! It was dumped via pmemdump (http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/tools.html) using:
osimage: 'pmemdump 0x80040000 0x01fc0000 osimage.nb1'
bootloader: 'pmemdump 0x80000000 0x00040000 bootloader.nb0'
I am still trying to figure out how to dump this image to SD. My ntrw.exe method above works, if you created the SD via serial. The pmemdump method uses ActiveSync and USB cable, so it is easier to create the file. But we don't know how to put it onto SD yet.
So if anyone wants the English ROM created by pmemdump, pm me where to upload (or German one as well)
Have you tried XDA OS Image Tool from http://xda-developers.com/XDArit/?
Guys and gals, I now have a English MDA II. Special thanks goes to Willem and KullTogi for their help.
I compare my original ROM and the English ROM dumped by pmemdump. First 412 bytes were missing. So I added that, removed last 412 bytes, copied the file to SD via ntrw and it works.
I have the patched file and the ntrw.exe for anyone wanting it. If anyone can open a FTP to host, I can upload there for everyone's use.
One note, after upgrade, the checksum will fail at the end of process. But don't worry.
Awesome!!! I want it.
Palmop:
How big is the file you need to upload? I want to get my hands on the english ROM!!!
Thanks,
Fernando
File is 16Mb. It is being uploaded to a FTP site , Akira will provide details shortly
strange for an rom to be 16 mb
thought ppc2003 was 32 at least
I said file is, not rom is , there is the good old zip compression. If anyone can arrange FTP access, I can upload it there. I have no access to a FTP server, I am looking to setup one.
PalMop
i just mailed you a new one
Please post the ftp site here...
for those of us itching to download. Thanks !!!
Fernando
I have an FTP site that can host this.
Palmop:
I can host it here:
ftp://www.shawus.com
username: hydrosphere
password: 12345
Please upload it there and post a message here when its done.
Thanks!!!

http://www.vogtschmidtoutdoorcenter...h ROM by PalMop/xdaii-usa-rom-1-03-palmop.zip
ill leave it for 48 hours
note: it did not work for me
when i put it in booloader, and pres camera it says
SD DOWNLOAD
Section=1
Not allow update!
**update :
did same as palmop
downloaded my down rom, and hexedited it, copyd the header part
replaced it in the new rom
tried again and worked
It said on my 2 devices:
SD DOWNLOAD
Section=1
Press Power to download
(or something similar, I hit the power button and update is done)
My file I sent to you via FTP was already patched (the first 412 bytes), weird
it failed
Upload to Orinoco's FTP is complete as well
Steb-by-Step Instructions?
Akira and Palmop:
Would it be too much to ask a step-by-step to get this done properly. I want to do it, but am afraid to screw up my new device. Thanks in advance for all your efforts.
Fernando
It was in the text file (how to.txt), inside the ZIP I uploaded
Here it is:
1. Extract the files to a folder.
2. Put 64Mb or larger SD to SD card reader.
3. Go to command prompt, switch to the folder from step 1.
4. Type:
Ntrw write 1-03-00-USA-xdaii-patched.nb1 g:
(assuming SD card reader has drive letter g:, change accordingly)
5. Once copying is finished, wait a minute, get the SD out, insert into MDA II, select Nein if it wants to format the card.
6. Go to Bootloader mode (power + direction + reset), hit Camera button couple of times
7. When it asks to press power button to flash, do so.
8. It will flash the rom, at the end there will be a checksum error, that is normal as the bootloader has not been changed.
9. Reset.
10. Device is ready to use.
it worked !
problem is , everybody needs to implant their own header, i think its header sensitive.
ik used a hex editor and deleted the first 420 bytes
not that word part that you see in the file. first time i also selected the word part at the end of the header.
and then copied the header from my own rom
and placed it their
now it works
Hi all !
I dumped my original ROM (German) from XDA2 and read with 'ntrw' but the file size is 128.450.560 bytes.
Something wrong ? Or what ?
THX any replay
I have installed ROM ver 4.01.16 in to my MDA1 and now I'm not able to install any other. It is not possible to establish connection fo ROM installing. ActiveSync connection is OK.
Can anyone help me?
use xdatools to flash your device using the SD card method
Also doesnt work. Writes: "Unable to open WinCE file. Could not connect to itsutils.dll.
Ok here you go, its a little outdated but its what I still use:
Qman's how to use XDArit to write nk.nb1 or nk.nbf to your SD card aka the Bootloader Method!
1. Place XDArit and the nk.nb1 or nk.nbf file in the same folder and start XDArit.
2. Select your SD card (disk drive) from the drop down menu.
3. Select Write to SD
Notice that the Windows CE box is already checked so just click the browse button at the end of that window.
4. Select your (nk.nb1 or nk.nbf) image and then Open
Notice by default XDArit will open looking for a *.nb1 file but if you're going to use a .nbf file you'll have to manually change the "Files of Type" to *.nbf
Notice that nk.nbo / nk.nbo was automatically added as your boot-loader and its check box is unchecked so leave it that way and click OK. XDArit should start writing to the card.
When XDArit has finished writing the image put the SD-card into the XDA and hold the power button and soft reset. You'll be taken to the below screen:
SD DOWNLOAD
Card Type:
CE OS & BOOT
Press action to Download
Or
Press REC to Exit
Press action to download and it will start the download/restore from the SD card.
Follow the on screen instructions once its "Completed" which will consist of a "Soft Boot/Reset".

is this what you are doing ?
Hi,
an idea - when you flash your ROM for example with offical updaters, you don't use any SD card - they write the ROM directly to device's memory, right? If so..Is there any way to do it in oposite way? Directly copy the ROM to PC HDD without using a SD card? It should be possible, reading is almost always easier than writing .
Ok, help yourself I found bootloader command rbmc:
Usage:
rbmc [FileName [StartAddr [Len]]]
Read back the memory content from the specified address to the host
and save the data to specified file name.
FileName : Full file path for save data of memory(default=c:\temp\Mem.nb).
StartAddr : Start address of memory(default(hex)=A0000000).
Len : How many bytes will be read. And if not given value, it will be
Total ROM size on board - ((StartAddress & 0x0FFFFFFF) - (ROM base address(0) & 0x0FFFFFFF)).
But this command is locked - I need password I guess, when I try to use it it writes on terminal:
USB>rbmc c:\ROM.bin 80000000 04000000
Command is Locked!
USB>
Any ideas?
Yes, i've got it. Finnaly you can backup/restore your ROM without SD card ^^. Here's it.
TO BACKUP:
-Download itsutils (http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/tools.html).
-Startup your MDA to Windows.
-On your computer run: 'pmemdump 0x80000000 0x04000000 rom.nb'. This will save your ROM to your HDD to file rom.nb.
TO RESTORE:
-You'll have to divide your rom.nb to pieces to mc_.nbf, nk.nbf and radio.nbf. Find exact procedure elsewhere.
-Download official update tool.
-Extract it to some place eg. c:\temp\.
-Push there your *.nbf files.
-Download 'fixed' MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe which won't ask about country IDs, no language problems etc. But most important is the fact it CAN BE RUN IN BOOTLOADER. (ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/Tools/MaUpgradeUt_noID.zip)
-Put it into your c:\temp.
-Run it & enjoy
Well most critical section in my procedure is dividing rom.nb to those 3 files, because I didn't try it . It should work.
Do not attempt this if you are not content with 'messing' with your device!
I have attached a zip file containing all the files required, including a bmp<>rsb converter.
Extract all files to C:\Bootsplash
Firstly the source image
The image needs to be 480x640 even though most Execs are opened in landscape format. The orientation needs to be left hand side of image at top, right hand side of image to bottom. (In essence, the landscape image is rotated 90 degrees clockwise).
This image needs to be saved as a 24bit bitmap.
Converting the source image to rsb
Use rsbbmp.exe in the zip (windows program) and check the readme for instructions but its really simple - if you add a bmp file it converts to rsb with same file name and vice versa.
You should now have your new splash picture .rsb and this should be in the Bootsplash directory for the change to work.
Exec Preparation
In the zip file is a cab file - EnableRapi.cab - this needs to be transfered to the Exec and run locally on the Exec. Once installed - that's it - you shouldn't need to worry about it again.
Flashing the Boot Splash Image
The zip file contains the following files that all need to be in the C:\Bootsplash directory...
bdsplash.rsb - this is Buzz's splash screen and will be installed if yours can't be found!
itsutils.dll
pdocread.exe
pdocwrite.exe
preboot.exe
rsb_header.bin
UNI_splash.bat - this is the batch file to run BUT NOT YET!
Firstly, in a text editor, edit the UNI_splash.bat file and insert the name of your rsb picture on line 6 or so - where I have put . Save the bat file.
Connect your Exec to the PC via ActiveSync. Wait for it to complete synchronisation
Run UNI_splash.bat and follow the instructions in the command box displayed.
If you do not extract all files to c:\bootsplash you will need to amend the UNI_splash.bat file accordingly
And that's it :wink:
The Exec does a soft reset as part of the process - and you should see your new screen in all its glory!
Nice to see there is some people working for our beloved Uni!
