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

where is the file?
After upgrade to Big Storage, I would like to install the ExtROM file originally in O2Mini ROM. Can anybody tell me how I can proceed? I would like to have automatic execution of all CAB file in the EXT ROM.
Thanks !
Basically you need to copy the folder "Extended ROM" from your device to your Storage Card *before* applying the BigStorage patch, because obviously after the patch they are gone.
To do this, you must cold-boot the device, and after screen calibration do a warm-boot *before* it starts to install the Extended ROM programs.
Then you will see a folder "Extended ROM" in File Manager (it is hidden after the automatic installation of Extended ROM files).
It is advisable to make a backup copy of that folder on your PC, because the files are in CAB format which means they are deleted after installation (if you do not write-protect your Storage Card).
Then, after getting BigStorage, you need to open the folder on your Storage Card and start AUTORUN.EXE or START.EXE (depending on your version), thus simulating the process that happens after a Cold Boot with an existing Extended ROM.
1.Copy the Extended ROM files to My Devices
2.Rename folder name to Extended_ROM
3.Running AutoRun.exe file and waiting for reboot!
Install ExtROM File
Actually I have tried to make the copy of ExtROM files in Storage Card under folder name EXTROM and run "Autorun". But it was failed. I will try the suggestion again.
Thanks !

I used a romupdate.exe from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BackupExistingRom and I dump it to my SD Memery Card (512MB). I get a 488MB raw file ... and i don`t know what to do next. I must have a extendend rom from backup or cabs from him.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomLayout
I dumped this rom with d2s ... what to do next to extract this ExtROM from dumped raw file ?
Please reply solution for this case.

if you have a working magician, then take a look in your windows directory for a file called "loadvdisk.exe" this will unhide your extended rom, then you can copy the required cab files to SD card.

i cant seem to get igo 08 to install. has anyone had any luck? i followed the instructions and it works fine on my tytn. on the touch it does the f
install but i cant get it to load...
any ideas or clues?
Copy IGO8 folder from Program Files from TyTN to TP,also copy the registry key HKLM-Software-IGO8 and import in TP. If you have necessary files on your card,it should work. I have it done,when we had problem with installing to Hermes.
Thanks I will try that now
how do I copy the registry key over?
hi guy i just download IGO8 from some website and put it in my new 8gb sd card, but when try to run it, the system got an error, asking for original sd card. what should i do? or what did i miss? can u guy help me plz...
thanks advance.
Does igo8 have north american maps now?
Is it possible to install a cooked rom on a Treo 750 without a miniSD card?
flasher1
download flasher hermes and a wmROM (bin) and replace the file
remeber: hard slp first
Yes, I just did that yesterday.
I have used Hermann v3.0 ROM by using the data cable.
Create an Active Sync Connection with your PC. After HARD-SPL, you just need to execute the RUUWrapper.exe which will update the ROM.
