Confused with Rom upgrade - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development

I have upgraded roms on Tytn II and Touch Pro 2 with no problems. Trying to upgrade a G4 Wizard from WM5 to WM6.x and I am completely confused.
When I have downloaded G4 safe roms all that is in there is an nbf file. What am I supposed to be doing with that? Is it similar to a cab file and run from the device? Should I have more to install the rom upgrade?
All help appreciated.

just find RUU and flash it from PC... There are tutorials, soo READ IT

Yeah except that only the last rom we downloaded said to put an RUU in the same folder as the nbf file.
Like I said, I have upgraded roms on Tytn II's and a TP2. So Im not new to a rom upgrade. But thanks for your help.

I have already downloaded several files but I dont know what to do with those files. example I have downloaded the Windows mobile 6 Pro by ANTC, it includes ROM Update utility, does that mean than whwn I run the utility, my OS ROM will be WM6?

Problem in upgrading to PDAViet 4.0.0.0.6 for Prophet G4

Dear all,
I am having O2 Neo G4.
I am have a problem in upgrading to PDAViet 4.0.0.0.6.
Previously i have install PDAVeit 4.0.0.0.5b while trying to upgrade to PDAViet 4.0.0.0.6 .
What i have done is i flashed with PDAV_temp after that started the PDAViet 4.0.0.0.6 in (second step)upgrade process its gave error: ITwrite disc error.
I reapet the process sevral time but no luck, even i tried to update with sevral other version on WM6 (fantastics b4/4.0.0.0.5/4.0.0.0.se )
but its always giving the same error ITwrite disc.
Can any one please help me to resovle the problem.
Thanks v v much for you help.
I think that because your source folder is too long words, example D:\ÏmpOrTÅNcÎA\Dokumennya Chaerul\Chaerul Poenya\All About PDA\Update ROM Tools\ProphetTouchVII
you can try to put the update file on the front drive
Hope that help....

What's up with G3 or G4???

Okay guys,
I don't understand... I have a Wizard and I've been busting my head getting all the info and programs + roms and apps to upgrade my wizard to TNT Vanilla (with WM6.1).
This is the story, my wizard is ipl/spl 2.26. I currently have TNT 19199 / WM6 with radio 2.19... Works great! But get this, it's a G3 wizard!!!
Now as I was going through the screenshot tutorial to upgrade the wizard and I saw when I ran the wizard service tool, my pda was G3... So what do I do now??? Is it possible to upgrade my phone to a G4? some people said it was impossible to get wm6 on my phone, but I have it along with the tnt 19199...
I don't know if I should go ahead with anything until I find a solution. Help me out here guys.
Phil
G3 is great, you can flash any rom. G4, you couldn't flash if there was a radio or spl included. G4 is not an upgrade of a G3 and in fact is more likely especially with older roms to brick your phone.
I have a g3. and have been flashing every rom there is. it is more of a hassel to deal with g4. consider your sell lucky.
G3 and G4 is difference of DoC chip, that is a hardware difference and not changeable through software.
G3 devices can be CID-unlocked to accept any ROMs by just using unmodified RUU package.
For G4 devices, CID unlock is not possible, however you can use HardSPL to let the device accept ROMs not for your CID, as soon as the ROM does not contain IPL and SPL.
Well,you already are on wm6 with TNT 19199,why can't you upgrade to wm 6.1,yes!you can.
G3 device is much easier to upgrade than G4,count yourself lucky there
Vanilla Rom is just a plain rom without any Applications/programs or very few of them,its basically provided for cookers who want to cook their own roms with applications/programs of their choice,but it can be flashed to any device.
YeaH, BUT...?
That's just it!
You're all telling me it's ok to flash and ok to set new roms on my G3...
What I do not understand is why in the "Wizard Upgrade Guide and Tools-DCH" it's written that this upgrade is only for G4 phones only! Furthermore, I do not want to brick my phone either!
Maybe it's for this type of upgrade only...? In this case can one of you guys give me a link to upgrade that works???
Once I get the ok from you guys, I'll try to upgrade the TNT 19213 Pro or moderate edition. Seems like Vanilla really has nothing else than the basics...
Phil
P.s.- By the way, I keep on reading about UC included in these roms... That's a good thing right? I wonder exactly how it works...
When once you have already upgraded to wm6 TNT 19199 custom rom,did you get any problems,did your phone got Bricked,whats the problem now ?
I don't understand what exactly you are asking ?
Which "Wizard Upgrade Guide and Tools-DCH" you are referring to,in which its written that this rom is for G4 devices only ? Just take my words,there's no such specific G4 rom only,all the custom build wm6 or wm6.1 roms are build for both the devices,G3 and G4,coz they do not have IPL/SPL included in them,only those roms which have G3 IPL/SPL included in them are dangerous for G4 phones,even all the official Stock roms have IPL/SPL in it for both the devices,it can be flashed to either of the versions without any danger, Yes! if any rom which only have G3 IPL/SPL flashed to a G4 phone will Brick it ,or a Rom with specific G4 IPL/SPL,if flashed to a G3 will Brick it also.But those are all old Roms,Now all the latest custom build Roms are build without any IPL/SPL in them,they all are absolutely confirmed safe for both the devices,ok
oh my friend, I am sorry about that, I wrote that particular guide, and the instructions in the guide itself is only for G4 devices, the ROM that I mention in the guide and in the screenshots is just for example, it CAN be flashed to a G3. My particular device is a G4, so I wrote that guide from a G4 perspective. Sorry for the confusion!
ashasaur
Yeah ! right,thats nice of you to clarify the confusion,but I'll suggest,if you have not already rectified your guide,its better you rectify and clarify it in there too,so to avoid any further confusion and also clearly warn that its for G4 devices.
Cphil1
You shud have read the guide correctly,if you had,there wudn't be this confusion,Thats why its been emphasized over and again through the Forum,to read n read the guides to fully understand and only than proceed further,its for your own benefit.
Have a nice day !
That was weird!!! No Upgrade!
Hey guys,
The craziest thing just happened... I went through all the steps, upgraded the pda. I saw the status bar and the rom completed it's upgrade!
Then my phone turns back on and it's my old TNT rom...? So no upgrade at all! What happened? Did I miss a step?

sounds like your CID locked?
Try flashing the old button rom 1st then your carriers then the new rom. After which for new roms flash your carrier rom then any new rom. I find the amp 2.0 rom to be better then the tnt as in less buggy.
I bet you were using ShellTool when you upgrade to the old TNT ROM.
Now flash your original carrier ROM, then download IPL and SPL using button's ROM and perform full CID unlocking, then you can flash any ROM as you wish.
p.s. DON'T try to upgrade your IPL/SPL to 3.08 before full CID-unlocked!
Alright!
Okay guys,
I just got the update to work... It was simply that I ran the rom update setup from the tnt 19213 file.
The cut and paste indicated on the "Wizard Upgrade Guide and Tools-DCH" didn't work. Bottom line, I now have the new tnt Professional rom (No Touchflo!) on my phone with wm6.1! Now I'm very happy and very grateful
I also got pim backup to restore all my files and contacts. Great little tool! Now I have to start customizing it with all the nitty gritty...
I'm looking forward to some advice on stuff to add onto this rom. I'm more of a graphic and games fanatic, so I went along and downloaded the vanilla fun pack.
By the way, does anyone know how to add color to the clock and icons display on the home screen? It's a bit bland all in white...

Facts about version 2.03TX and bootloader

I have two magicians, and I read many posts about nonchangeable version 2.03TX.
I test it, and upgrade one unit. After upgrade really is not possible change any (OS or bootloader). Bootloader cant vrite itself or OS memory. I try all known techniques - SDboot, TTY (lnb, s2d d2s...) via USB, and standart os upgrade via PC (of cours, noID too).
So I have two magicians, then i use good tool from "itsme" called pmemdump.exe (thank you for your good job) and download OS images and bootloader images from my magicians. The reason is:
I dont say when, and/or why, but in some magiciansThe 2.03TX destroy bootloader!!
In my flashed magician is destroyed (nulled) area from 0x10000 to 0x10080.
I attach good (before upgrade) and destroyed (after upgrade) bootloader for comparsion
Maybee if "itsme" (or anybody other? ) create new version of pnewbootloader.exe compatible with version 2.03TX (because under this version OS it not working) then tens of magicians with flashed 2.03TX will be upgradeable again . (I can send any dump if it will be need, or try apply new version on my magicians).
hi mate, i 've had installed 2.03tx and 1.13 radio on my qtek s100 for about one year...
i've had no problem in downgrading radio to 1.12 and flashing device with cotulla rom,
the only problem is that cotulla rom does not support samsung touchscreen
my bootloader is 1.02
the only trick to update i've used is to keep activesync loaded with "allow usb connection" unchecked in settings. then it worked like a charm...
I try it too with unchecked "allow USB connection" in AS (and i have XP). By me (and many others) the problem is owerwrited bootloader. You can see attached files and compare it, you will be see...
You are right, many problems with flashing is between chair and keyboard But not now.
You have the same version of bootloader like me, then probably in version of bootloader its not. I have originally T-mobile MDA compact.
Can you send me dump of your bootloader for compare?
Sorry for my bad english, i am from Czech.
yes mate no problem, link me to a guide for bootloader dumping, i've nevere done it...
ps: good luck for yours magician
Hi Shelver,
I have 2.03TX in only one magician. The second unit is powered by Cotulla WWE_03 now
Download and unzip this: http://www.nah6.com/~itsme/itsutilsbin-20090515.zip
Connect and synchronize via AS your magician, stay connected (this util working via Active Sync) and in comand line (IN win XP of course, in vista its not guaranted) go to your unzipped directory and write this (without commas):
"pmemdump 0x80000000 0x00040000 boot.bin"
and wait few seconds to done.
It read flash from address 0x80000000 to 0x80040000 (lenght 0x40000) and store dump to file "boot.bin" Its bootloader area. Then you can send me it, compare with my posted bootloaders...

You are lucky man I try it only one time, and bootloader is broken.
I have magicians only as toys, then, if it will be problem for me, then i repair bootloader via JTAG I only try 2.03TX, and try search some help for unlucky mans, who havent JTAG Now i have one broken, and one OK. But with Samsung LCD R3 . Maybee, i change display, or upgrade it to 128MB RAM for try _R1
I am HW developer, so HW problems is easy for me I create car multimedia PC on OMAP3530 platform now for my friends. Its better toy for me, magician is lovely history Only SW is hard to write to me

OK, Ill wait. I dont need it really, i have stored good copy of bootloader, i need it only for compare
And if you wish, you can flash cotulla WWE_03 ROM (you can directly from _04 to _03 say Cotulla) In this version touchscreen driver worked fine.
