Hi
Can anyone point me in the right direction for where to access the original 1.12 or 1.13 ROM. I want to keep it aside in case I ever need to downgrade. Does it need to be o2 or can it be the Imate or QTEK branded ROM? In Cotulla's downgrade instructions he says "[YOU *MUST* REPLACE ROMUpgradeUt.exe TO MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe]". To do this, do I need to extract the files from the original ROM...? and where do I get the maupgrade file?
Cheers

Hi mate, follow this thread for the ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4901332. Please note that you can extract the .exe and be sure that you wont use the included ROMUpgradeUt.exe. Use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe instead. You can get it from here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for reply. Will give it a go

I tried to flash the Qtek S200 with the ROM which I found at
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/S200/. But the software said "Wrong vendor ID". CID unlocking way which is used at a Wizard does't work. ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe does't work also. How can I solve this problem?
flashing difficulties w/th some prophet models
I have had the same issues with my dopod 818 pro..Couldn't flash, always received vendor ID error.
The only way I was able to flash my device to a newer rom was by using JAFWM, which is an aftermarket flashing tool created by Odeon. The device costs about 50usd. With JAFWM I was able to easily flash my prophet to a newer QTEK and Jamin rom, without to much hassle. Note: I still had to use awizard to unlock the CID.

You will need to downgrade the device to 1.x os.
See my comment here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=283140#283140
I will add this to the wiki shortly.
I managed to successfully use the r2sd command after unlocking.
Let me know if you need anymore information.

Want to downgrade form Dopod ROM (AKU2) to old I-Mate or qtek rom
Patched romupdateutility can't downgrade to older qtek or i-mate roms
Does anybody know way to downgrade ROM without using JAFWM?
I want to know this too.
I want to downgrade in order to unlock CID.
The romupdateutility does not downgrade the ROM
Same problem here
Same problem here, except for Wizard...
Me too - need to get back from DOPOD ROM to imate ROM on my JAMin.
Anyone?
Yea same here...there must be a way....:HOPES:
As anyone managed this yet?

I guess not...
If only we had a custom ROM like the one BUTTON made for the wizard users....
Soon will be add to JAFWM the UNLOCK button and than no need downgrade.
Any way, i think is really not a good way downgrade the HTC's especially not for BEGINNERS because if something goes wrong the unit is dead and you can only repair it by desoldering the bga (and this requires a lot of experience) or by JTAG.

ya, i thing so! if the divice is dead, we can fix it with labtool(if laptool support prophet's flash
machinagod has a solution! You do not need JAFWM.
Only the IPL/SPL can not be downgraded. So, all you have to do is cook a special ROM that has the current IPL/SPL on your device but an older OS, Radio, Extended ROM. The tools for doing this are all on the Wiki for the prophet, but should also work for the wizard and typhoon.

Where exactly are these tools? I've searched all arround the wiki.
Hey. You obviously didn't search hard enough because I found it straight away:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RomTools/typhoonnbfdecode.pl
Use the Typhoonbfdecode_v5 program to decode the NBF, then the prep_imgfs and viewimgfs (which actually creates a dump of the rom) to extract and view the contents.
I think you can use AddFile/DeleteFile/BuildImgfs/make_imgfs to rebuild the ROM after tweaking it, but I haven't actually done that yet myself. Other than the typhoonbfdecode_v5, all of those tools are part of the itsutils which you can find around here somewhere.

Thanks for your reply, but I already know all of this. The WM5editing tools are just for editing the rom(files and registry).
What we need is something to inter-change the portions of an nbf file.
But thanks anyway
EDIT: Also, typhoonnbftools are only able to decode, not encode probably because it is incopatible with the new header.
It shows the following error:
Code:
read 03900000 for os from 80040000-OS_0.nb
no ECEC at 0x40 in OS image
Anyone have a solution about the above error?
TO DOWNGRADE YOU CAN USE PDA MOBIZ CUSTOM ROM. IT'S ESPECIALLY COOKED FOR NOTHING BUT DOWNGRADING AND THEN CID UNLOCKING. PACKAGE INCLUDES THE CID UNLOCKER TOO.
I did that on a spanish Qtek s200 which came with Qtek 2.09 ROM and G3 chip. But fyi, it was not SIM locked.
Pdamobiz site has also a pdf guide explaining the steps.
One thing not mentioned in their guide is downgrade.bat giving an error and failing to write itsutils.dll to pda. I tried installing enablerapi.cab on pda and restart. It worked...
See this pdamobiz article for more information. The ROM mentioned in the article is mirrored here on this site.
The procedure is built around the aWizard tool and this tool is in itself enough from unlocking the CID.

You only need to include IPL/SPL if downgrading from a version 2.x OS to 1.x or upgrading from 1.x to 2.x.
Of course if your phone has a G4 flash chip then downgrading to version 1.x is not possible.
My Jamin is a G4 unit, can I still use the PDAMOBIZ DOWNGRADE ROM to downgrade from SPL 2.2 to 1.x? so I can flash the original JAMIN ROM and send the phone to repair ... the speaker at the back is dead ...
hello!
first of all, plese let me say that i read the wiki 10 times.
i also read hundreds of pages in the custom WM6 threads, but i still don't understand something.
i as far as i can see, there are 2 ways of upgrading the ROM.
1. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_ROM_Upgrade
2. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...tion On How To Upgrade with Bootloader method
the first way looks easyer.
anyway, the second one says at point "4..." that you need to download MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and copy it to the custom ROM folder.
but where to download it from??? it sends me to a page with a link. but the
link refreshes the page and it doesn't download anything!!!
anyway, let's say that i somehow manage to download the exe file.
wich way of upgradeing to use??? the second one says that it is good for
any Universal model. i understand that this one is good for Dopod 900, SPV M5000, O2 Exec users. is it true????
then this means that the first way of upgradeing is suitable just for HTC Universal users????
i have a SPV M5000. wich one should i use?
where can i download the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe file?
also, wich is the latest Bootloader version? in the wiki i see that 1.01 is the last one. but on the forum someone said that he uses a 2.xx version...
ialso want to unlock my device. there is a wiki section for this too.
the 15th step says:
"Flash your original Radio ROM. Do not upgrade the bootloader until you restored an original radio rom."
what does that mean???? do i have to get the last Original ROM from Orange
and to install it after i unlock my device????
i allready have an Original ROM. and i allready have bootloader 1.01.
if i now unlock my device, then do i have to reinstall an Original ROM, and after that i have to upgrade again to bootloader 1.01 ????
in wich order should i upgrade the bootloader, unlock the device and upgrade to WM6?
call me stupid or realy stupid, but i just can't understand those steps i mentioned.
thanks in advanced for your answers!!!!
can i take the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe from the Radio 1.15.00 archive and copy it to the Custom ROM folder ???
is it the same MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe file???
i still cannot find any place to download it from.
If you're on the Orange M5000 ROM already, unlock it before you start messing around with anything else.
Once you have done that by following the wiki, you can play with other ROM images.
The MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe you found in the 1.15 archive will be the same yes.
And nearly all of the custom WM6 ROM images you find on this page will have it included too.
If you want to use the radio 1.15 when you flash the ROM, simply copy the file into the same folder as the other ROM files before you run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe, and it will update your ROM and radio at the same time.
i unlocked my device.
it now shows Radio 0.00.00
as i understand from the wiki, i have to reflash the original Radio 1.09.00, onlyy then to upgrade the bootloader to 1.01, and after that to upgrade to a custom WM6 ROM.
but where to download the original 1.09.00 Orange Radio ROM from???
i couldn't find it on the ftp.
does it matter wich radio rom i install? can i now install Radio 1.15.00 and after that to upgrade the bootloader and the OS ???
and also, if i upgrade the OS ROM and the Radio ROM to the latest official Upgrade posted by Orange, will it lock my phone again? or from now on i will have it ulocked no matter wich ROM or Radio i use?
thanks in advanced for your answers!
could you please answer my questions.
i can't realy use my device untill i finalize the upgradeing process.
must i reflash the original Radio 1.09.00 after the Sim Unlock?
or is it safe to flash any different Radio version, say 1.15.00?
i would realy be thankfull to you.
1st method is the newest safest and easiest method
2nd is the old one, not recommended
i see that now the wiki has been updated.
with this method, is it necesarry to take out the SIM and Storage Card ?
the first sentance of the tutorial is:
"This works for when the Universal is in Bootloader and Windows Mobile"
i don't fully understand the meaning of the sentance.
does the sentance want to say that you need to be in Bootloader mode?
and what is it with the "...and Windows Mobile" at the end of the sentance???
as i understand, the main differences between the 2 methods (ex-methods) is that in the new one (available in the wiki) you don't have to use the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe anymore.
instead you have to download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=301662
both methods must be done in Bootloader mode.
but in the new one it isn't specified wether you need to
Unchek the "allow usb connections" in activesync.
so, do we still need to uncheck the "allow USB connections" in active sync?
does this new method require to be in bootloader mode when upgrading?
it isn't very clear.
thanks in advanced for your answers.

The reconstruction process can be done only for the OS part...
You can't extract the radio or SPL from the device, you need a shipped ROM to get this two parts.
Read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335568 to get more info, but as for i know, no Orange shipped ROM is out, so you can't get the original SPL.
Cheers.
