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

Stupid Question (Restore ROM)

I know I am asking a stupid question... I am new in PocketPC, I've been search 10 pages in this forum.. But no one match..... could anyone tell me "How can I restore my ROM on my O2 mini!?"
I used romupdate.exe and ntrw.exe to backup the ROM to SD and write and SD image to my HDD..........
Thx again if anyone could help me!~

I tried writing the saved rom back "ntrw write oldrom.nb1 X:" ( where oldrom.nb1 is the backed up rom and X is the Card reader drive) , I figured it would be the same procedure as writing the new big storage rom I wanted to do this as a test before upgrading to the big storage . . . Just to make sure incase i wanted to re-flash it back to original . I used a mmc card of 128 mb to do this. all worked fine , copying the original rom, then saving it to pc then writing it back to the mmc card using the above mentioned command in ntrw. The thing is that after writing the oldrom (original rom) back to mmc card , when i check the space used on the card it shows it as empty and i don't get the "push power button to flash" option either . Then i figured ok if this doesn't work then i'll just download the orginal rom (shipped rom) from the xda developers ftp , but after seeing all the shipped rom versions that are available there i couldn't figure out which was the actual ver of the rom + extended rom that i need for my mini (to many 112 rom versions available for me to figure out which one was the exact same as mine) . Here is my current rom ver and Extended rom - ROM VER 1.12.00 WWE , Rom Date 05/28/05 , Radio Version 1.12.00 , Protocol Version ( no idea wtf it means but here it is ) 1337.42 and Extended Rom Version 1.112.920 . . . I can't seem to find anything similar to this on ftp .
So can any of the Tech Experts here take a few minutes of their precious time to help us noobs to atleast try out the big storage ?

Reading yr long paragraph w/o any seperation is kinda dizzy... :shock:

How do U check space? If U read the instruction carefully, the data written to the SD/MMC is not in the format of FAT16/FAT32/NTFS and therefore U should not able to check the size. In fact, Windows will says it's unformat and ask if U want to format it. So, check yr command for ntrw to see if U really write the rom back to SD

Make sure U wait at least 1 min. Also, left the MMC in the magician, do a soft-reset and wait

There's no need to be exact match in order to flash as long as U use MaUpgradeUt.exe to flash. All of them should work fine.
Good luck

The easiest way is to download the O2 ROM upgrade from here ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/Shipped_ROMS/o2asia_11100_922_11100_ship.exe and install. This will restore your O2 to factory including your extended ROM

I had the same scenario
That's right. i upgraded my imate jam to ROM 1.13 extrom 1.13 and radio 1.13, then followed the instruction of how to do the bigstorage. so i dumped my rom to my SD card then modified it using mksBigStorager tool the size changed from 122 mb to 65 mb only. anyways i dumped it back to my SD card. but the SD card is still readable by my imate when it's not by windows. and when i try to go to the Bootloader mode it doesn't show the message that asks to press the power button.
still wokring on it...

Thanx alot for your help guys , unfortunately i still can't get the flash option . . . still working on it to
Updated : - Ok , I Finally found a solution to the press power to flash problem i was having . The thing is not to Format SD/MMC card after reading rom to PC (ntrw read myrom.nb1), read the rom to PC using the usual ntrw command , modify your big storage rom , then write the modified big storage Rom from your PC to SD/MMC card using the known method (ntrw write myrom.nb1) . . . Do Not Format The Card Before you write the modified rom . . . Just write over the old existing image on the card , goto boot loader as usual then you'll get the press power to flash right away. Hope this helps

[HowTo] How to Flash through SD Card

Most of you have noticed that my ROMs require flashing through the SD card. I've given out the instructions many times, but they tend to be lost in the shuffle that is day to day posting so here is a whole thread dedicated to it:
1. Format your SD card to FAT32.
2. Place HERAIMG.nbh into your SD card.
3. Hold the camera button then press the soft reset button while holding the camera button.
4. Press the down volume when it asks you to press something.
If this doesn't work, it means either:
1. Your SD card isn't fast enough. You can try partitioning the SD card so that it only has a small amount of space formatted. This can be read faster by the bootloader.
2. You don't have a HERAIMG.nbh file in your SD card.
3. Your HERAIMG.nbh was made with a small number in the "version" number.
4. Your SD is a SDHC. The driver that allows SDHC compatibility is not loaded in the bootloader. Buy a cheap little 1GB card to flash with.

3. Your HERAIMG.nbh was made with a small number in the "version" number.

That's mean IPL & SPL right?
I read about WM6.1 in this forum require IPL or SPL morethan 4.xxx
But my Herald (Dopod C800) IPL&SPL 1.09.0001

No, when making the NBH you have the option of setting a version number.
In order to flash any third party ROM you need an IPL and SPL of 4.xx and to HardSPL your phone (HardSPL requires an SPL of 4.xx)
To upgrade your SPL and IPL you can try upgrading your phone with it's most updated stock RUU (Some, like HTC bring the upgrade) or you can try the GoldCard method. (Search for the word "Goldcard".)

how can i do this i have a herald 4350 or well the t-wing and i doesn't want to connect to my computer well it connects but 3 seconds later it disconnects i don't know what going on and i been trying to update to another rom. thanks for any help.

Hi Ivan,
Just to let you know though, there must be some kind of problem. I followed the instructions and flashed through my SD the nbh (os+radio) numerous times but after the flash my Herlad always failed to boot. The flash was successful, I got a message "press any key to continue" from the bootloader and after a softreset the screen was always black with no signs of booting.
Also, just to let you know, the program that opens the htcrt.proj file fails to register and I always had to /right click/open with and then manually select the os and radio files to create the nbh.

If it fails to boot, it means that the ROM you created has something wrong in it, not that the flashing process has something wrong in it.
As far as the proj file, if you have windows Vista, it may have not set the permissions properly.

Hi.
I'm fairly new to this and I'm trying to flash a JustMe ROM. I have built both a XPR and a LZX but none of them worked. I just follow your intructions and I get to a screen with gradients of Red, Green, Blue and a white bar in the background and IPL 4.17.0001 and SPL 4.17.0000. From what I understood, something should happen now, right? Well, it doesn't.
What may be the problem?

You should not see the gradients right away.
If you followed the steps exactly, and your NBH has a version number of 5.2.xxxxx or higher: Then your SD card might not be fast enough or it might be a SDHC which won't work.
How big is your SD card?

It's a 2GB Silicon Power MicroSD. How do I check the version of my NBH?
Also, the NBH is not the only file I have in my card. Do I have to format it or if it is already in FAT32 (which it is) I don't need to?
btw, a message saying something like "Checking SD card" (something like that, couldn't see it right) appears before the gradients but only for 1/4 of second or something.

The reason I mention it is because SD cards come preformatted as FAT16.

That's where the flashing is done. If you only see it for 1/4 second, it means:
1. You didn't follow the directions (FAT32 and version number)
2. The SD card is too slow.

The NBH version is 5.19588.

Did you format the card to FAT32?

It was already formated. I'll try with this version number.
EDIT: Didn't work. I'll format the card.

Yes. It was FAT32 but I reformated it anyway. It now loaded but gave me an "Invalid Certificate" error.

So the formatting was still an issue. Weird. Ok, so now it's reading it but it's not validating the certificate. Have you HardSPL'ed?

No, as I don't even know what that is. So far I have only needed the Flash Center application to flash the ROMs.

jantunes said:

Click to expand...

The Flash Center only works through inserting the code through Windows Mobile. Since my ROMs are flashed outside of Windows Mobile, therefore, it requires a HardSPL'd phone. HardSPL is better than the Flash Center since it protects the SPL and IPL from being overridden in a bad flash or when you accidently use a ROM that isn't meant for your phone. But, the HardSPL can be dangerous is you don't follow the install process properly as it can brick your phone.

Hum, ok. I'm quite intuitive in understanding how to hack devices so don't worry as I'll probably not brick my phone. I'll search for HardSPL and when I'm done I'll post the results.
Thanks for all the help and for your (I imagine) great ROMs.
EDIT: HardSPL'd my phone and everything is working great. Very fast ROM, I may say. Not as good-looking as the Open Touch Project I was using, but sometimes functionality is better than style.

Searching for SD Card !!

when I try to enter Boot loader in VOX ..... the first msg on the screen says searching for SD card... and it enters the Bootloader mode......the Color strips....
but nothing happens after that ..!!!!
any suggestions ??

What do you want to do?

I am trying to load the HTC diagnostic file.....named as vox0diag.nbh
please see my earlier post for trying to Format FAt of my Vox and suggest.
thanx

Why would you want to format your Vox? I know it loads vox0img.nbh through the boot loader, I don't know if it does that with this file naming scheme!

thanx for the Quick reply....
this a diagnostic file that HTC service centers use for VOX.
I read about it in the Technical Manual of VOX that laid my hands on thru' a friend of mine.
My VOX is dropping calls i,e. you can hear the Phone Ring but I have NO Indication that I hav an incoming call.
I thought that Formating and then loading a New ROM with New Radio Version could perhaps solve the problem....
BTW I hav tried nearly all ROM's and Radio Version's available on the XDA:FTP
That is why all this exercise....
any more help will be really appreciated...

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=vox_sdcardflashing

Some confusion here it seems:
@indtram:
Did you get your hands on a vox0diag.nbh file or did you just read about this in the manual?
Regarding Flashing via the boot loader:
1.) the card must be a NON-SDHC card, i.e. 2GB or smaller
2.) this card must be FAT or FAT32 formatted, NTFS is no option
3.) the flash file must be named vox0img.nbh for normal flash files
4.) the bootloader will ONLY load correctly signed .nbh files - cooked ones don't work
5.) if the card carries the right "Gold key" in its boot sector, the bootloader will allow also vendor independent flashing - yet correctly signed is a must, at least for the normal boot-loaders that come with official ROMs.
If anyone has got hold on this vox0diag.nbh, please put it to the XDA FTP.

[Q] [Prob] Goldcard doesn't work - "not allow"

Hello,
I've decided to unlock and flash my HTC 7 Mozart. So, I have to downgrade SPL. I thought the method via goldcard would be best for this and so I tried it. Soldered a perfect USB cable for that according to the pictures shown on separate threads here.
First of all, my phone specs:
HTC 7 Mozart
Got it with Mango 7.5
Firmware version atm: 2250.21.51201.401
-> So I think Phone ROM version: 5.12.401.01
B/c of my CV I have a HTC_Europe operator.
To downgrade SPL, I downloaded this:
3.2 BR: RUU_Mozart_HTC_Europe_1.26.401.03_Radio_5.51.09.06 _22.30.50.09U_by_ansar
Right until here, or am I false?
I've put the .nbh (called MOZAIMG.nbh) to my SD card (also tried USB stick), used the GoldCardtool 0.0.5 and patched the GoldCard.img (a generic one) to my removable stick/sd card. Then I just put everything in and started my phone in USB host mode. Well, it worked flawlessly, but as it loads the data from my stick/sd card, it shows up:
"not allow"
...
and later: "serial"
I don't know why this happens. I think, the gold master patch wasn't done properly? Do I have to do the thing manual in a hex editor? I've read that, but is it truly the thing I have to do?
Thank you!
Keynot

why you dont use the ansar slspl rom?

Well, I just followed this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21054629&postcount=3
Thanks for your hint.
I've tried several ROMs and always get the same Errors...
When trying with goldcard, every ROM I tried shows "Not allow".
And every time I try with standard USB flashing, I get an Error: "invalid Vendor ID".
Is it possible, that my device is no "Europe device"?. I've found several threads about this topic, but none helped...:-(
Tried following ROMs:
RUU_Mozart_HTC_Europe_1.26.401.03_Radio_5.51.09.06_22.30.50.09U_by_ansar
RUU_Mozart_HTC_Europe_5.11.401.01_SLSPL_Signed_by_ansar
RUU_Mozart_S_HTC_Europe_5.13.401.01_5.71.09.02a_22.51.50_RELEASE - to upgrade SPL to 5.13. some claimed SLSPL could work then. but nothing changed. Error or "Not allow"...
Pls help!

Buddy me to same problem but I may say that u must get cid of an sd card generate proper gold card img file then flash it.
Have u patched it(sd card) with its own cid or anyone else.
try to get gold card img for the one of your sd card ie get CID of sd card.
Refer this link-

Tell me if it works.
Good luck mate

Hey bro belive me this problem is very easy...
Me too have same phone and same operator(EUROPE)401 and i already flashed custom rom.
I also encounter this same problem my SDcard(2gb)didn worked not allow showing then i dont know how but i downgraded my mozart by patching my sd card's goldcard to my 4gb flashdrive its of sandisk.
This problem lies in Goldcard and wrong usb storage(pendrive,sd,etc) device.
PSS both hex editor and goldcard patcher do same work tested by me
For a rom you can check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858599 it worked for me.
