Kaiser ROM 1.81.61.2 (Orange UK)

Evening all,
I also have a brand new Orange(UK) branded TyTnII. I have dumped the ROM following the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334680, however the partition table looks a little different:
C:\Users\***\Desktop\ITS>pdocread -l
210.38M (0xd260000) FLASHDR

STRG handles:

which meant that the dump commands were:
pdocread -w -d FLASHDR -b 0x800 -p Part00 0 0x31f000 Part00.raw

pdocread -w -d FLASHDR -b 0x800 -p Part03 0 0x8620000 Part03.raw
The reconstruction was then as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337066,
using the Windows.nb from http://rapidshare.com/files/65254405/WindowsFRA1.56.406.5.rar
The ROM has been rebuilt with Dark Simpson ROM tool, 7zip'ped and is availiable :
http://rapidshare.com/files/66123403/1.81.61.2.WWE.Orange.UK.7z.html
If anyone wants the RAW files, please let me know and I will zip and up those too. Usual disclaimers about me not being responsible for your bricks apply.

Nicely done......
In your original post about this ROM, I asked if you could post the OS and Build numbers, but you never did (and still haven't!)
Go to Start | Settings | System tab | About - make a note of the line that starts "CE OS......" and post it back here please

This is the missing piece of the puzzle so to speak....when this information is available, then the cooks will know if the core of the O/S has been updated etc. before they waste time cooking with it.
Thanks in advance,
Mark.

its an old os and build CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)

^^ yep, what he said!

Thanks Dutty/Rik - glad we've got that cleared up
Mark.

so now what? it is a lie? it doesnt looks like a big update from 1.56 ?

rom
the rom that has been uploaded is that the raw files or a reconstructed rom
many thanks
steven

this was my reconstruction from the raw dump

orange
so if i put one of the other roms on my orange tytn ii could i flash your reconstruction for warranty purposes
do i need any tools to flash the rom
many thanks
steven

Hi Steven,
I hope so! It's the reason I dumped and reconstructed this ROM - I have subsequently flashed the HTC shipped ROM to my Kaiser, and its running so much faster.
Although I have tested re-flashing this ROM to take me back to an Orange branding, I give no guarantees that it will return your Kaiser back to how it was when you bought it, or that it won't turn your Kaiser into the most expensive paper weight you ever bought.
As with everything on XDA-devs, its entirely at your own risk (but i'm glad I gave it a go!)
sirsyco has posted a guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335568 on reverting back to the original ROM, while using POF's Hard-SPL http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679 and CustomRRU http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334890 should provide everything you need to flash to the first HTC shipped ROM, which you will find links to in various places in this forum.
Please note that I only flashed the HTC OS, not the radio stack or the splashscreen.
I am afraid I am not going to provide a step-by-step - all of the guides linked above provide the details to do what you want to do, and I am afraid I am of the opinion that if you don't get what is being described in those tut's, you really should not be dumping and flashing ROM's yourself.
No offence intended, but im not going to lead you out of your depth - I don't want anyone to fry their beloved Kaiser on my instructions!

orange rom
hi rik
no offence taken
can i just ask you when you went from orange to htc did you hard spl then just run the htc shipped rom
how did you just instal the os and not the spl or radio stack
did you notice a difference with the htc rom
many thanks
steven

Rik
Can you tell me...when you flashed the OS only, did you get the SIMLOCK problem?

I think that was the mistake I did... I flashed the whole thing rather than the OS alone... i wasnt aware of this complication in changing other bit besides the OS...
My phone (originally Orange ROM) is still locked (24hrs now) but its usable if you put it on flight mode.. it seems to be faster..menus, keyboard opening response, applcation launch etc.. not sure how much having the phone part switched off effects the performance...

Could you share radio or raw from this ROM?

Change MAC address via ActiveSync

Don't do it unless you know what it is and it is your choice
First please backup all gsmdata using backup_GSM.bat and restore using restore_GSM.bat if things go wrong, hope not to
Use at your own risk, take no responsibility for any RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MALFUNCTIONS OR OTHER ISSUES THAT MAY OCCUR
1. Connect active sync, I connect it in guest mode
2. Run Read_MAC_adsress.bat
3. Save your old MAC address (the file orig_MAC.bin) at good location in your hard disk
4. Open newMAC.bin in any hex editor (it's your MAC address in reverse)
5. Change it as you want and save it
6. Run Write_new_MAC.bat to change MAC address
7. If you want to restore the old MAC address run restore_mac.bat
8. now soft reset
9. just wish me luck If this works for you and I hope it will
To check your MAC address: go to wireless settings > advance > MAC > see it there
I'll make an app to change it soon after the exam if this works
paradis_pal
long live Palestine

am I on the black list again?
this works on my device, and there is no risk if you backup all gsmdata using backup_GSM.bat and restore using restore_GSM.bat, but the save the gsmdata.bin in a good location

it works try it
I udpate it to the new itsutils tool and it works, I used to use the old version

Perhaps a foolish question, but what is the benefit of changing the MAC adress?

another stupid question...
thnx but what the advantage of changing mac address..?
and is mac address is IMEI ..?

an example..
If you are hacker of wi-fi connections, you can find permitted mac adress..
After you can change mac adress of your device and enter to wi-fi network.. (if wi-fi network has shield with only mac adresses)
Mac adress using for network identity and its unique on the world..
IMEI number using for gsm device identity..

Thanks for explaining!

Dear sir
Please please, next time before asking a foolish question, use search and you will find a lot of answers, and not only in this forum.
Or at least read the first line (don’t do it unless you know what it is).
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for this answer I couldn’t answer better
Some people set their access points to certain MAC addresses, if you knew them, you can access the network (hack) for free internet at least in my case.
The problem: there are no close WiFi networks near my area, but I hack a net café using this method,
Thanks for replying

nice, thanks for this

Hello Chopin
I can't unzip file:"Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive. If you downloaded this file, try downloading the file again" Please, could you share it again??
Thanks

sorry it is rar archive I should warn
use the free program 7-zip to uncompress the files

Hey,
It doesn't work for me.
I connect my phone and active sync is in guest mode, then i run read_mac_adsress but i can't find newMAC.bin.
Where can i find this file?
Thanks,
Steffen

sorry for the late reply, Exams
if you use wm5, install enablerapi.cab first you can find it at the pagepool changer

I assume pdocread/write are Prophet specific? I have a Kaiser. I tried backup_GSM first, but got 0 bytes, so I'm assuming it is Prophet specific. Is there anyway that I could get source code to modify for Kaiser?
I would like to change MAC addresses on my Kaiser to troubleshoot problems with our crap MAC-secured wireless network. Currently, I have to lug around my laptop to do this.
Thanks!

Given that information, any chance you can point me in the right direction to finding where my MAC address is?
Thanks.

I'm not sue about youe device, acctually I'm not sure if this will work in other prophet, no one confirm
I can only assure it work only on my device
-l will list the disk only, the MAC can be found the data on the doc, not on the list
I can't help u right now but try to ask in your device section hope that someone will help you
and if please one confirm if this will read the MAC address

thanx man . i ll test it

keep cool my friend
you gave him only 18 minutes to reply...
this is no chat, so it is quite possible that it will need some time before he realizes that a reply is needed.

Haha... I was only teasing a little
But I'm very curious about these new builds

Nice job my friend. Let's see if I can round up somebody who can dump this to change it up.

While i´m trying to dump it with kaiserkitchen, it gives me an error with RecMod.exe.
cheers

I just dumped the rom and it appears it is not an official ROM. I am assuming this as PCMKeyboard is in the SYS files already!!!!!
Is this a joke

Haven't really worked alot with other languages, but I'm seeing alot of errors while dumping the contents of the imgfs in the latter half of step 2a.
It's being really retarded and making modules out of all sorts of stuff, some of it being bitmaps. I'm gonna call it quits.

ROM dumping for dummies!?

Very soon I will receive a new phone (TyTnII) and I would want a full backup of my phone. The new phone will be flashed with my current phone and thus containing all my current settings and software. I think the only way to do this, is by dumping (cooking) and restoring (flashing) a ROM of my current phone. -Maybe I could be wrong-
Is there a "dumping ROM" -thread for dummies? In each and every thread there are parts of the solution, but nowhere a step-by-step description is to be found. In most of the threads people mention the programming code they use to dump a ROM, is a user-friendly user interface (GUI?) for cooking and flashing already available? Btw, after reading and searching on this superb site for some 3 days, I found out all I needed to know about flashing. Currently using a Dutty ROM with separately flashed RADIO. LAS, for cooking no solution seems to be at hand.
Hoping to find a solution, if you are so kind to respons, please no "use the search-section" or "read W.I.K.I. please" - been there, done that - and make sure to use all related links. Maybe this thread might become a first try to build a real "Cooking and flashing for dummies".
With kind regards,

Are you sure you've read all the Relevant wiki pages?
This has instructions for Dumping and Reconstructing a ROM.
If you want to read these and make you own tutorial, feel free, but don't ask others to do it for you.

"IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT UNDERSTANDING THE JOURNEY THEN YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE." is exactly what I mean with "In each and every thread there are parts of the solution". Nowhere the -part- of the solution is in clear english. Can I give you an example from your link?

Next line:
"DUMP THEM!

Thus my remark:
"Hoping to find a solution, if you are so kind to respons, please no "use the search-section" or "read W.I.K.I. please" - been there, done that -" Maybe -I admid- I should have added: "Are you sure you've read all the Relevant wiki pages?" and "If you want to read these and make you own tutorial, feel free, but don't ask others to do it for you."

This is XDA-Developers and your posting in the ROM Development forum. A certain level of understanding is expected.
May I suggest you look at backup software such as Sprite or SPB Backup instead or dumping and reconstructing your ROM.
Thanks
Dave

Sprite backup works great and btw Gert,
those are command line instructions-pretty straightforward actually.

Thank you for your reply , I used "SPB Backup". I just hope this nifty little tool will also make a backup of all installed software (but I doubt it).
Btw, my new 8GB Ultra II SD SDHC Memory Card just arrived!
Sir Thanks-a-lot,

SPB Backup 2.0 will backup your entire ROM won't it?

This is becoming less and less of a developer site and more and more of a whinning, lazy a$$, "help me do what I can't do for myself". These users aren't even willing to read and then they retort back with indignation.
By the way, DaveShaw is kind of a big deal here. He doesn't have over 1200 posts because he is too lazy to read or do some research on his own. He has been helping and developing. Show some respect or be ready to be ignored.

This topic shouldn't be opened.

Gert,
I'm not having a bad day.
The ROM dumping instructions are in command line format and as Dave has pointed out, all that info is available in the ROM dumping thread. Read it and try it yourself, works great to dump ROM's.

hey man,
Well, I haven't tried it, but here's some easy step-by-step instructions on how to dump a ROM:
1. I just put all the necessary files in this folder:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?jc1xtnpqnxj
Download it and extract it to your C: drive.
2. Plug in your device
3. Open a Command Prompt and type in the following:
Code:
cd C:\
Code:
pdocread -l
This should bring output something like this:
Code:
210.38M (0xd260000) FLASHDR
| 3.12M (0x31f000) Part00
| 3.50M ([COLOR="orange]0x380000[/COLOR]) Part01

Look at the orange items at the top. I've made these orange to make note that when you do this, those numbers will probably be different. So, open Notepad and copy and paste the numbers you see there. Now do this:
Code:
pdocread -w -d FLASHDR -b 0x800 -p Part01 0 [COLOR="orange"]0x380000[/COLOR] Part01.raw
NOTE: Replace the orange numbers with the first set of numbers you took down.
Do the same with this, except replace the orange numbers with the second set of numbers you took down:
Code:
pdocread -w -d FLASHDR -b 0x800 -p Part02 0 [COLOR="orange"]0x4560000[/COLOR] Part02.raw
NOTE: this line might take a while, but don't close the window until it's done.
OK, if done correctly, you should have Part01.raw and Part02.raw in your C:\ drive.
Now, download this file:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5NA811QP
and extract it to your C: drive
Now go to your C drive, cut Part01.raw and Part02.raw and paste them in C:\kaiserkitchen\BaseROM.
Now download this file:
http://210.64.124.194/download/TyTN II_SEA_WM6.1_Upgrade_20080602.zip
and take the RUU_signed out of it and place it in C:\kaiserkitchen\BaseROM
then go into C:\kaiserkitchen, double-click on KaiserKitchen.cmd, press e, then press b.
4. Cook the ROM.
Now cook the ROM by following the steps here:

Packages are the Equivelant of CABs that you use when Cooking ROMs.
i.e. You would use a new Dialer Package and Cook that into your ROM, rather than install a CAB.
When using the Kitchen, you get to pick what packages you would like.
All of this is in the ROM Cooking Wiki.
Thanks
Dave

Dave- Finally someone who understands the true spirit of a forum: helping others to help themselves.
GertB- You remain thick as a brick! And you double posted.

Oh, and though you "are sure you will finally be able to cook your own ROM" I am not as confident. You don't even understand what packages are. I suggest you stop posting and begin reading a little. Then best of luck to you. I will wait with baited breath for your excellent ROM addition to the forums.
Here is a link to the ROM KITCHEN TUTORIAL, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349895&highlight=ROM+cooking+WIKI, posted before you decided to join the party. I'd say "title of the thread correspond with its content".

Special AT&T locked Fuze?

Hello All,
I have been doing a lot of searching and reading lately in regards to cooking ROMs and stuff for my HTC fuze (US AT&T touch pro). As many of you have already flashed a ROM, I updated to the latest OEM HTC ROM instead and just lived with it. As anyone can imagine I see the need to upgrade now and feel that NRG's latest ROM would be a good start.
I read the wiki and focused on these threads to try and upgrade my Fuze:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448008&highlight=Rom+guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=526228&highlight=Rom+guide+backup+installed+program
Everything makes sense in the guides, but I am having trouble with backing up my current ROM as well as installing a new one.
When I run the CMD to read the Orginal ROM I get the following:
C:\Documents and Settings\NickD>C:\Downloads\itsutilsbin-20091117\pdocread.exe -w -d DSK1: -b 0x800 -p Part00 0 0x31f000 Part00.raw
CopyTFFSToFile(0x0, 0x31f000, Part00.raw)
ERROR: ITReadDisk : read 001746e8 bytes - The device is not ready for use.
I changed the reg DWORD to 1 AND soft reseted. Out of ideas here.
When I try to flash HardSPL I get the following error:
ERROR [202]: CONNECTION
I have followed the SPL flashing instructions exactly, I have it connected through activesync with .net V3.5. I have read all the HardSPL threads almost to the end. If I am missing something, it must be hidden.
I currently have the 5.11.502.2 Image Version and I am thinking that this is causing my troubles on many fronts. I have overly searched this site and google for the fixes to this and tried them all. The only thing I do not have in common with these issues is that I have the newest Fuze and ROM which I am guessing don't like these things. I not a computer expert, but I troubleshoot computers, program and build computers enough to know that there could be issues with the phone. If anyone has flashed a new Fuze please let me know.

Your ERROR [202]: CONNECTION is being caused by the phone asking for permission on the excecution of program, and you not pressing yes on the phone is causing this. It happened to me the day before yesterday, I wasn't paying attention to the phone and I got the same error. When I tried again, noticed the phone had a message of the .exe waiting to execute, I pressed yes and it started fine.
Here's the hard-spl flashing instructions from mskip guide, i turned what I ment in red. I hope this helps you.
1. Download Hard-SPL package and unzip it to your Hard Drive. Make sure it's launched from a local drive (not through network drive, etc.)
2. REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS!!
3. Turn phone back on and let it boot back into your operating system
4. Connect your phone to PC with a USB cable and wait until it syncs with your PC
5. Run RaphaelHardSPL-Unsigned_190_1_3.exe
6. Follow steps in the RUU (Rom Update Utility), check device for prompts after PC shows loading bar
7. It should go to a black screen now
8. SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done
9. To confirm you installed it correctly, go into bootloader mode (tricolour screen!) and verify the screen shows 1.90.OliNex
Good luck!

I went back through the process from the beginning...
Thanks for the response. I thought at first that it was something I was overlooking, but I did it again just now and I don't get the prompt. In fact, it never gets to the loading part very long. It's almost like it won't write to the device.
This leads me to believe that AT&T and/or the latest official HTC rom (5-18-09) for my device are not allowing these changes. It is entirely possible since a large majority of people who post in detail on this board have unlocked phones or bought their Fuzes when they fisrt came out in Nov. 2008. I am not in that boat.
Lastly, I think that this could be related to my attempts to dump my current rom. I can read the file structure, but when I attempt to read the parts. I get the error I mentioned before. The weird thing is that I get the following text file that shows the parts in working order:
459.38M (0x1cb60000) FLASHDR

I still get the error when copying the part thus leading me to believe the device is locked out. I appreciate any ideas and for reading my lengthy post.

Another thought...
Could it be possible that the new ROM is blocking exe files from running with the fuze from a remote PC? If so, that could be the case. I remember running exe's before but I have flashed a ROM since. Maybe I need to revisit that. It has been months so I am going to need to reread and search more.

what's the main reason behind you needing to dump your rom?
I don't know when my phone was first purchased, I got it second hand almost new on the box, but I've only had it since last saturday, it was a At&T locked Fuze, and it had their latest rom on it, and all I did was hard-spl, flashed custom rom, got the olipro unlocker (that you should get) unlocked it, flashed new radio and added rilphone.dll, and is working like a charm.

if I was you, I made sure to copy anything I needed to my sd card, like sms, contacts, emails, etc., like with pim backup, remove sim and sd off the phone, and hard reset. then try to hard-spl again, and go from there.

I was always thinking about that as a last option. However, if I hard-reset and I still cannot flash HardSPL then I just did a lot of work for nothing not to mention all the work I have to do to get back to the point where I am currently at now.
However, I am glad that I have some verification that it is not something that I am doing wrong at least that I know of.
Any chance you know a link of where to download the original Nov 2008 AT&T Fuze ROM? I think I need to get that provided that the Hard-Reset doesn't get me back far enough and that AT&T still has mine locked out. Also, the orginal ROM must be flash-able on original SPL like the latest HTC Rom (5-18-09).

no but I'll see if I can find it, and the hard reset will reset everything to manufacturers default settings, it will be like it was when it was first flashed.
try this link for all officially shipped roms.

Thanks for the link. I don't know why I couldn't locate that one even though I was there before. I am thinking of Hard-Resetting with my back-up going to the latest ROM for 2008.
Thanks for your help. I am going to do some more research to see if there is any other way to backup my current ROM other than using pdocread.exe.

no problem, I don't think you should have too many problems, you should be able to hard reset, and flash hard-spl, and then any rom you want, the main reason needed for unlocking is for flashing other radios and using the phone with other networks besides AT&T. You can pm me if you ever have any questions or in need of assistance!

I will keep that in mind. One final question. Will a hard reset take my Fuze to the latest HTC ROM I flashed or will it take it to the original ROM that was on my phone from manufacturer? If its the latest HTC rom, I may be better off flashing the 2008 AT&T rom than hard-resetting my 2009 HTC rom.

when I said it would go back to manufacturers default, I ment the last flashed rom, 'cause the previous one does not excist on your phone anymore. when you flash a rom , it replaces the whole OS on the phone. so unless you find the previous one you had (nov 08), and reflash, it will stay on the one you have now until you flash again, hard reset wil just wipe it clean.

Closeout
I just wanted to close out this thread. I was able to Flash Hard SPL when I decided to flash using another Windows Vista computer (I only had WinXP to try before). The flash took with no issues. There may be an issue with ActiveSync on my WinXP machine, but I did reinstall it with no success. My recommendation to anyone who has had similar problems to try a friend's PC preferably a Vista PC if WinXP is giving you these issues. Apparently Microsoft may not have their act together and some leftover install issues may be causing problems in some cases.
