O2 XDA II Mini Original Rom WWE - PLEASE!

Hey guys,
Well I succeeded in upgrading to Anansky's BigStorage ROM and was very satisfied, but now my stupid speaker broke (I have a similar problem to other users where they can hear sound if they blow into the speaker). I have to return the Magician so I need to revert back. Can someone PLEASE upload the original XDA II ROM PLEASE???
Here's a list of instructions on how to backup the ROM:
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 active sync 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 MDA, 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 the 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 o2orig.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 o2orig.nb1. Make sure you keep o2orig.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 o2orig.nb1 file ntrw might give you an error, just don’t pay attention to it.
7. WinRAR the o2orig.nb1 file, then upload it to the XDA Developers FTP .[/i]

No one wants to help?

The question is why havent you got a backup?? You were told to do this in the first instance should anything go wrong!!

somebody apparently has uploaded the O2 mini original rom, check it out!

The answer to this was I was using my digital camera as an SD reader...and the backup didn't work properly for some reason. So now I have nothing.
The backup (I think you're talking about the O2 Original Dump Rom) doesn't work for me. I have a 1.11 version of the O2 Asia ROM, but I'd rather have the original WWE. Oh yes, and I've tried several times with the "Original Dump Rom" using 220, 415 and 416 bytes...nothing works.

This may work for you - use the romupdate software to get the rom image of your device to the sd card. By this stage you have an edited rom image on the pc. Use ntrw to write that image over the top of the sd card that you have just written to with romupdate. Then plug it into the ppc. Do not format the sd card in the immediate procedure at anytime. For whatever reason I think the romupdate software puts a format on the sd card which the ppc recognises. There were a number of errors on the ppc screen just after installation however when you push the reset button hey hey the original splash screen boots up. Prior to this check that the edited rom header is 416, in my efforts it was not 415. The RomMiniOrg.nb1 image was good with the only NON change being the radio which remained at version 1.11 but I downgraded it to 1.05. I don't think the service centre will worry to much about this should you need it. Goodluck with this, it worked for me.

Hi yozhek,
Thanks for the help. I did what you said but it still didn't work. However, I used O2_mini_asia from the FTP to downgrade my extended rom, protocol and rom version...then I found the Radio downgrade on the FTP and downgraded to version 1.01.
now everything is original!
I didn't know that the Nb1 files did not include the radio stack downgrade so I had to downgrade that seperately.

the command in the romupdate program basically determine which image to backup.
d2s for rom, but I am not sure what's the other command for extended rom and radio. Anybody?

Can I use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to change the ROM on my mini with the o2mini_asia.nb1 ?

miniuser: no
you will have to use the process as described in procedure.doc (available in the FTP under anansky's bigstorage folder)

I did as described in the procedure.doc. I have run this command
ntrw write o2mini_asia.nb1 e: and then inserted the SD card into my mini and pressed the power+camera+soft reset button
but it is not doing anything, it has stopped at "Serial" above and v1.00 below for an hour now. Any suggestions?
cheers
mini_user

I tried it second time, now it says
SD DOWNLOAD
==========
SECTIONS=1
Not Allow Update
Any Suggestions?
Cheers

Sorry for the last post, was trying out something else.
I am using a 256MB SD card and the size of the rom is only 127MB after ntrw, does it make any diff??

you can always ntrw write a 127mb rom image into a 256mb sd card.
the rom flash will not work (and hence the no update allowed message) if your rom image in your sd card is invalid for some reason. I make a bobo previously, trying to copy 416byte of anasky rom into my original rom, instead of the other way round. And it give me that error message. After realising my mistake, and did the right modification, the flash went through successfully. so double check your rom header edit if you are not able to proceed to the flash step.

I have a mini with qteck 1.11.00 WWE
and I have download the o2mini rom from xda ftp and have got a 256 mb card
if I want to flash my mini with the o2mini rom the are these the steps to follow
1. dump qtek rom into card
2. copy it to pc
3. copy 1st 416 bytes of qtck into o2mini rom
4. dump o2mini rom into card
5. put mini into bootloader mode
6 update with mini rom
cheers

Cannot download new rom to magician

Hello All,
I follow the upgrade guide, when doing the step "8. Downloading your New ROM onto your Magician", I press the Power, Camera and Reset buttons at the same time to go to "Boot-loaded" mode. But the screen DOES NOT show "SD Download", it still show "Serial".
Please help!!
I am using O2 mini limited edition.
Thanks,
Jack

Jack,
Try putting your SD in your PC card-reader again, when it doesn't want to format it the writing of the rom with ntrw has failed in such a way that a mbr is still present on your sd. Is it the same card as you used for dumping your own rom? Did you dump at all?
To solve your problem
- stay in bootloader
- connnect usb (now your magician reads USB)
- dump your own rom on the SD, this will destroy the mbr & now ntrw will write the rom-image at the beginning of the Sd & your magician will see it.
- make a back-up from your SD with ntrw if you like
- write back the image, you have from your previous attempt, with ntrw
- put the SD in your magician, still in bootloader
- now it should read 'press power to flash'
Good luck, M

You have to HOLD the three buttons until you see the screen that says to hit the power screen to update. If you don't get that screen, load the .nb1 file back onto the SD card again.
I had to hold the three buttons for several seconds.

Hello,
Thanks for your reply!
But I encouter any other problem. After following the procedure, the SD download screen was shown it shows 100% and everything run smooth. Then I hard reset my o2 mini. After that the memory still not change (64MB + 64MB). I am using the file mksBigStorage112.nb1.
Does anyone know what is the problem ?
Thanks,
Jack

Jack,
The device only has 64Mb. Take a look at the storage folder, this should be around 27Mb. Start -> Settings -> system -> Memory -> second tab & select Storage.
Cheers, M

oh, ic. But still has around 7mb.

Are you sure that you didn't flash your own dump back, cause this is not the expected result.
Try again pls etc etc & more of these predictable phrases.
Regards, M

You updated your ROM to a new version, but not a BIG STORAGE version.
To get more storage, you have to flash with a BigStorage ROM. There are several threads here describing the process in detail. Do a search on "Big Storage Explained" or such and you will get detailed instructions.

mksBigStorage112.nb1
Sounds like a BS to me.

Rom flash via storage card... how?

i cant flash thru bluetooth and my usb port on my tilt doesnt work. how can i flash thru storage card?

Make sure you have installed HARDSPL.
Download a rom and rename it to KAISIMG.nbh
Hold down the camera button and soft reset, should bring you to the tri-colour screen. Press power to flash the new rom.
read the wiki for more detailed instructions.

here's the complete, detailed, wiki post:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserSDFlash
good luck

im using a fat32 micro sd. i renamed the nbh file to KAISIMG.nbh and transferred it to the root of the micro sd. i get the bootloader screen on, it flashes grey quickily and says no image file and then it goes back to the multi color screen.
i beleive it is hardspl, it says SPL-1.0 and i have previously flashed other roms onto the phone.
any help

You need to flash HardSPL.

can i flash hardspl with my storage card?
also, i have previously flashed other roms, doesnt that mean i already have hard spl? the phone is also already SIM unclocked. i could i have sword i did a hardspl.

check by holding the camera button while soft resetting, it will tell you in the bootloader what spl ou have, and let you flash w/ the sd card (but if you need to change the hardspl, you need to use your computer)... read the wiki for directions (sticky for spl directions)

it says SPL-1.0.OliPof

just check that when you format your SD card that it is done as fat 32, and not just fat, as i made the same mistake yesterday..I do all my flashing from sd card, as using vista x64 and its so unreliable i dont want to risk bricking the phone...My mate originally did the hard spl for me, and mine shows 1.0 olipof like yours, and i have no problem flashing now..

I used to find on the Hermes that sometimes I needed to reformat the card and copy the ROM file over again. Dunno why or what changed but sometimes it would just take a few goes to 'catch'

One other thing.
The SD cannot have a Label when you Format it.

SSPL using SD card for Kaiser?

I'm new to the Kaiser world but have a little experience with flashing from the Hermes side of things. I used to have SSPL-HERM.exe on my 1GB SD card and would add any .nbh file image to the card, rename it HERMIMG.nbh, then run SSPL on my device to start the upgrade. Is there a solution like this for the Kaiser? I checked the wiki, searched the forums and searched the cloud without any answers. I tried using the bootloader reset with the image file (renamed as KAISIMG.nbh) on my card but I keep getting the "image file not found" flashing on the screen, then it returns to the tri-color screen.
I'd stick with running the custom ruu's but my connection keeps dropping off on my work PC before the ROM can flash. And it's just no good to have to wait until I get home to flash a new ROM, right?
Thanks in advance for the help.

What are you wanting to load, Hard SPL's or ROM / Radio images?
The KAISIMG.nbh on the Root of a FAT32 formatted SD card works for ROM / Radio / OEM SPL's (If SPL override is enabled).
To upgrade a hard SPL (If SPL override is disabled) then you can follow this post from cmonex: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420683

Mostly ROM/Radio images - I've got 3.29.Hard loaded right now and it seems to be working ok.

My card is formatted FAT32 (necessary for the Hermes flash as well) but I'll give a reformat a shot and see what happens. Thanks for the quick response.

If it is just images, just place the KAISIMG.nbh on the root and then enter the bootloader (Camera and SoftReset) and the SPL will do the rest.

I tried to reformat the card using flash format but I keep getting an error saying "exclusive access to the storage card is denied (#31)."
I also tried putting the KAISIMG.nbh on the root and resetting into the bootloader but nothing happens.
Without any further suggestions I'll grab a laptop during my lunch and reformat the card in there, then retry the SD card flash.

I use it all the time like this. Just make sure the format is in Windows (not via Resco, etc).
Oh, and I don't think it support's volume labels.

Also there have been some issues reported with Kingston 1GB cards not being recognized for some reason. I have a 1GB Kingston and I 1GB Sandisk and after reading the post I never tried the Kingston but the Sandisk works fine.

I formatted my card, dumped the image file onto it, sent the phone to bootloader and still got the same "image file not found".
By some stroke of luck I was able to run the customruu from my work pc after moving to a different USB port, once. Now I keep running into the connection dropoff that I had been seeing in the past.
By the way, the 1GB card I'm using is from ativa...

Must've been the card. I used my 4GB sdhc card with no problems what-so-ever. Chalk one up for Ativa in the these cards may not work for flashing ROM's section.
Thanks for the help everyone.

I have a DREAM, to use my DREAM!!! :'(

Reassuming:
1) Tried to Update to RC33 my new Gphone and Failed!
2) Tried to wipe and retry the update and fail again.
3) Repeat STEP 2 for some times
4) Try to flash from bootloader with RC29 (DREAIMG.nbh) but fail.
5) Use DREADIAG.NBH that say me: 00028002
6) Qmat 4.24 say me:
a) When I click "Get SD Card Serial from Wince Device" on Omnia i900 [Win Mobile 6.1] the Omnia say: "There was a problem with device.exe"
b) If I continue, then click "Save Goldcard Image to WINCE SD", Qmat show me an Error popup that say me: "Done writing SD card to WINCE Device"
Now my phone is still dead.
Any ideas???
Crying...(while wait your answers...)

when you power on the phone, does it go to bootloader or to recovery? did you have the HardSPL installed already? and do you have a micro SD card reader

The Phone goes ONLY in Bootloader mode.
I have the MicroSD USB reader.
I have the original SPL.

kinda sounds like a bad SD card to me -- did you try another one?

ok, go to the thread that gives you the walkthrough on rooting the phone, and get the RC29 or RC7 from there, if your phone was already on RC30 or above then get the 29, if you were on rc8 or above then get RC7. then you need to format your card in the reader to FAT32. then unzip the file you downloaded a minute ago and rename the .nbh file to DREAIMG.nbh and try again. from the looks of it you had a CID error, though i have never gotten one of those so i don't know exactly what they say. try again to flash the .nbh file in the bootloader

I have change 3 SD card...but the Flash don't work.
Say me:
____________
Update Terminated
UPDATE FAIL
____________

Tuba I have tried ALL the US DreaIMG that I found on the WEB! ALL!!!
But the results is the same...
I have tried to use QMAT but don't help me...

Are you using mac to format the sdcard? Sometimes, at least for me, if I format on my mac before putting dreaming.nbh on the card mac will add extra little files to the card that the phone does not like. Make sure to FORMAT the card to Fat32, then copy the file, then do NOTHING else with it before putting it back in your phone and flashing it. Also as stated above, re-download the file to make sure it isn't a corrupted one. If this isn't your case, sorry for wasting your time.

Have you had any luck?
I also have a bricked US G1 with original SPL. I was thinking of using QMAT to create a goldcard image so I could load DREADIAG.NBH since the one I have must be CID locked / for another CID (I get the 00028002).
Thanks.

I have successfully loaded a DREADIAG.nbh for a different CID using a goldcard image. Now, some stuff in there didn't work as expected, and the service manual if a bit short on info in that area. Also, it seems to work with RUU for some things. I'll have to grab a windows box tomorrow and see what I can do there.
