first to post here
as i saw that HP rx1950 has got a Windows Mobile 6.1 Custom ROM..
but my device doesn't have the same language as the custom ROM pack, so i can't update it...
i've searched through the forum and the internet... there had been some ROMs posted,, but the links were dead already
anyone who still have this device, hope u can kindly extract the Stock WM5 English ROM for me
thanks a lot for your help, and sorry for my poor english..
martin
Just upgrade you phone, language of your current ROM doesn't make a difference .
Here is a kitchen ROM of WM 6.1 Classic for rx1950 from xda members Victory144 and Guifort.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/nna2yo92q2beiik/Flasher_Hp_Ipaq_rx1950_ENG_WM6.1.rar
I agree with tomcug. It should flash your ROM to WM 6.1 regardless of the language. You need to use it on a Windows XP computer with ActiveSync installed though...

I've read the post.. there're two methods to flash the WM6.1 ROM, by SD or through USB.. but i failed with a message "Wrong Image" after cloning the image to SD card, and the lauguage problem while flashing through USB with stock update utility (that maybe some lock by HP on language. mine is Chinese Traditional, but the update image is English..)
therefore, that'll be fine if the English Stock ROM is available.. btw, is there any program to flash that bypass the lock??
or how to change the language option of the ROM generated by kitchen?
i am not very familiar to configure the kitchen
thank you for your help
Here is a very technical discussion of 2 methods for installing different language ROMs.
http://www.tweaks2k2.com/How_to/39xxROMlang.htm
You will need a HexEditor:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/6r8ffn1fq3bh9mu/uedit32.exe
And a mtty program:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/7srppxvnr728ime/mtty11a.exe
BUT - at the end of method two when the author says - At the terminal screen type "lnb nk.nb0" at the USB prompt. (That means: Load the ROM nk.nb0)
INSTEAD - use the command "l nk.nb0"
That may be a typo - or the difference in mtty versions used by myself and the author...
thank you for your suggestion, i see that the ROM file structure of 3950 is a bit similar to rx1950, so i will try to change that
i've got the kitchen and the whole system downloaded from the site u suggested, but i just can't figure out how to change the language code of the output file while building the ROM , so that i can fool the ROM Update Utility and flash the ROM to my PDA..
wt's Build_XIP?
do u hv any suggestions? thx again
martin
Build_XIP... I think that is something for a different device. confused
_____
The following is based on research and guesswork. I make NO CLAIM that it will work and not damage your device... TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
_____
If my experiments with mtty and my reading of the How to install a different language tutorial are correct, all you need is:
mtty11a.exe to send commands to your iPAQ.
The English WM 6.1 ROM Image (CEOS.nbf) you want to upgrade to.
And Uedit32 to edit the ROM.
Put all 3 files in the same folder. It will be easiest to create a new folder on desktop with whatever name you like.
_____
This is for a Windows XP computer. That is what you have, yes?
First be sure to BACKUP your iPAQ and put all files in a safe place on your PC.
Next - remove the battery and any SD cards from the rx1950. Wait at least 10 minutes for the internal battery to discharge so that the iPAQ is cleared of all memory except the ROM you want to overwrite.
_____
Now we want to save the Chinese ROM you have so we can restore it if anything goes wrong. Best to be safe, yes?
Do you have a spare SD card at least 256mb? If not, use the one you normally have in rx1950... See why we saved all your files first?
Kill ActiveSync by opening Task Manager>Processes. Look on the list for wcesmgr.exe and wcescomm.exe. Highlight each one and click on End Process. With ActiveSync killed you can now "talk" to iPAQ with mtty.
DO NOT PUT IN THE BATTERY. Attach the iPAQ to the PC with the USB cable AND the AC Power Cord. Turn the iPAQ on and manually enter Bootloader Mode. (Google tells me for rx1950 you - press following buttons simultanously
Contacts + Mail + Reset for as long as your PDA boots)
Insert the SD card where you want to save the Chinese WM 5 ROM.
Go to the folder where you saved the 3 files you need and double click mtty11a.exe. That opens a box called "Open port setting." Scroll down the list in "Port" and look for \\\WCEUSBSH001. That is the port you want. I noticed that the end number (001) changes with each use of mtty. Never mind the number so much, \\\WCEUSBSH00x is what you want - that is your iPAQ. Select that port and click on the "OK" button.
It should open a command terminal (white window). Press enter until USB> appears in the window. I only needed to press enter once, but some tutorials say keep pressing until it appears. (?)
At the USB> prompt type r2SD and press enter. This will have mtty command your iPAQ to dump your ROM image onto the SD Card as RAW DATA. Wait for the progress bars on iPAQ screen to finish and you get a completed message.
Save this SD card in a safe place. This is your Recovery Image to restore the iPAQ back to the ROM you started with. The card is not formatted in a way that you can open and read with Windows XP so do not try putting it in a card reader right now - XP will want to format it and we don't want that to happen.
_____
If you need to recover your iPAQ at any point...
Unplug the iPAQ from PC and AC power cords. Remove battery and SD card. Wait 10 minutes to reset memory.
Insert SD card with Recovery Image. Plug in the AC power cord. Turn on iPAQ. Enter Bootloader Mode. iPAQ will see the Image on the SD card and offer you the option to Flash your ROM or exit. Pick the option to flash your ROM.
The iPAQ will Hard Reset after it flashes and then you can remove the SD card with the Recovery Image and do a Restore from the files you saved on PC and/or your regular SD card and the Backup we did at the beginning of this experiment.
_____
Now that we are safe, we can start to try and change the English WM 6.1 ROM so you can flash it to your iPAQ.
I read the "How to install a different language" tutorial quite a few times. Here are my calculations for what we need:
Original checksum
minus HexSum of ENG (45+4E+47 = DA)
equals change value
or
ECEC
-DA
= EC12
HexSum of CHT (43+48+54 = DF)
plus change value
equals new checksum
or
DF
+ EC12
= ECF1
Then that means we change ENG (code for English) to CHT (code for Chinese Traditional) and also change the Checksum from ECEC to ECF1 and we can get the ENG ROM to load on your CHT rx1950.
_____
Now you need to edit the ROM. Go to the folder where you saved the 3 files you need and double click uedit32.exe to open the Hex Editor. Click on "File>Open" and navigate to the folder where you put your files. Select CEOS.nbf and Uedit will open it.
10 lines down (line 00000090h) the file says "..........ENG.hp"
Next line 000000a0h says "iPAQ rx1950...."
This may or may not be the place to change - But I believe it is the right spot to tell any updater program what iPAQ version to update...
Scroll down to line 00000ea0h where it says "..........ECEC^a"
Next line 00000eb0h says ".e^a..........."
I believe that is the ROM Checksum and then an order to verify the checksum from iPAQ...
Scrolling down farther to line 00001ec0h it says " iPAQ rx1950..6."
Next line 00001ed0h says "00.00 ENG......."
I believe this tells any updater program what version is being flashed. But it may need to be changed...
So my best guess is:
At the first spot ENG is listed (line 00000090h) you need to edit ENG to CHT
At line 00000ea0h you need to edit ECEC to ECF1
Make these changes with Uedit32 and then click "File>Save as" and label the file "Test.nbf" saving it to the folder we have been using. (Note that mtty and any files you want to flash MUST be in the same directory.)
In Uedit32 click on "File>Close All Files" and exit Uedit32. Now you have 2 versions of the ROM in your folder...
_____
mtty still open and iPAQ connected?
If not - connect iPAQ as above (no battery or SD card, wait ten minutes, connect with USB and AC power, put rx1950 into Bootloader Mode). Open mtty. Navigate to your port and get a USB> prompt.
At USB> type in "l Test.nbf" (no quotes) and it should try to flash the edited ROM to rx1950.
If it was edited wrong you will get an error message something like "Header request time out."
_____
If it doesn't work that way it shouldn't affect your iPAQ and a Hard Reset should be all you need to restore your system. If that fails we have the SD card Restore Image we made earlier.
Delete the Test.nbf file from the folder and try editing CEOS.nbf again.
Try changing the Checksum and the second time ENG is listed:
At line 00000ea0h you need to edit ECEC to ECF1
At line 00001ed0h you need to edit ENG to CHT
Save as Test.nbf and have mtty "l Test.nbf" again
If it fails, delete Test.nbf
The last try would be by editing the Checksum and both times ENG is listed:
At line 00000090h you need to edit ENG to CHT
At line 00000ea0h you need to edit ECEC to ECF1
At line 00001ed0h you need to edit ENG to CHT
Save as Test.nbf and have mtty "l Test.nbf" again
_____
I hope one of these works for you. Please let us know what happens.
Thanks.
thanks for your suggestions very much!!
but i get the File CRC checksum error when using the stock update utility,
and through mtty.exe, it shows "Header Request Time out" also, in both i changed the first mentioned "ENG" to "CHT", second time and both times ...
all failed
would there any way to flash it through SD (by creating a suitable .nb0 file?) ?
hurray!!!!
i've cheated the HP ROM Update Utility (RUU) to accept to update an English ROM to a Chinese machine !!!
i use WinHex to replace the ENG with CHT, CHT with ENG,, and it's OK now!!!!
anyway, thank you very very very much for your sincere help!!!!!!!!!
Really marvellous!!!
HUZZAH and Congratulations martinhy!!!!!
I'm glad you got it to work.
I was at the keyboard for about 4 hours playing with the files last night and was afraid that my guess was wrong (as it turns out it was). So I'm really surprised and pleased that you solved it.
You just edited the RUU??? All other files in the kitchen folder stay the same???
Cause I need to cheat it and make it change from rx1950 to rx3115... I'll be trying your method soon.
it's troublesome to change ,, or i can say, cheat, the ROM file (.nbf) itself, coz it has checksum .. and the algorithm may be difficult to guess, and changing with different versions of iPAQ,
but the RUU itself doesn't have the integrity check, so it's cheatable
anyway, thx for your effort to help me
i can't be sure whether your guess is wrong, coz when i download the stock ROM, i.e. "l CEOS.nbf" to the iPAQ, through mtty, i also says "header request timed out"..
so i can't be sure whether there's problem for the way to edit the ROM, or the iPAQ doesn't support such mtty method...
or........
. becoz i'm a newbie, maybe i've got something wrong though...
*sigh*
When I try to change the RUU from rx1950 to rx3115 and run the rx1950 upgrade kitchen I get the CRC error...
When I try to change the .nbf and put it in with a rx3115 update package I get 244 Error (model ID)...
When I pull on my hair it comes out in big chunks...
I think I need a lot more study and a new toolkit...
that's maybe quite a challenge to flash ROMs from other models rather than language... both models are not compatible

Can't replace wince.nls
I have a Win Mobile Phone Edition 5, very first one in U.S.
I tried to load chinese so that I can read chinese. I copy over font file and am able to see Chinese in Word, providing that I select options.
However I got issues with IE, because I there is no option for me to change the encoding.
I learned that I need to change wince.nls file. And I downloaded your file. Now I got an issue "Access Denied" message when I try to override original wince.nls. Looks like it was in ROM.
Any idea?
Thanks
you should use another file explorer other than the system's one, and then you can overwrite it
the tool is in the attachment(it's in chinese language), it's a green software
The attribute is grayed out.
Thanks for your prompt response and the program.
maybe i did not use it right, some how the menu of the program is mess up. see the attached.
I have Resco Explorer 2005, which also show wince.nls is in rom. Every time I change the other attributes, it changes back when I re-open property page.
While I have a pocket PC 2003 Dell x3. The wince.nls is not rom file.
Can I override rom file?
It is about mid night here in U.S. I will check back first thing in the morning, just in case you do not get response from me right away.
Again, thanks for your help.
on wm2003 it was possible to "override" files in ROM.
Now it is not.
You have to wait until we'll be able to decompress the ROM and inject your wince.nls into ROM.
buzz
ok, i've downloaded your chinese.rar to test-it ...
i've replaced the wince.nls with this procedure
in \windows\ , i've renamed wince.nls to wince5.nls
got an error message "Can't delete wince.nls" , but it's renamed
Copy the new wince.nls to \windows\
Copy fonts to \windows\fonts\
import reg file ... modified
soft-reset
...
Anything appears ...
i'm not able to choose chinese in regional settings
In the registry , after soft-resest , nls automaticly set to "0409"
if i set to 0804 and soft-reset , poof .... 0409
I think there is another problem
OK, I will wait.
One another thing I noticed: through ActiveSync, I can create a folder in windows, (well, as you expect). But I can't copy the wince.nls file to even the newly created folder, not just windows folder. On my PC, the message saying... no space or no permission, etc. I do have like 3-4mb left in main storage and install other program.
Just for your infomation.
it is easily possible to copy wince.nls to your \Windows folder. Just create a cab for it.
But it is not taken into system... That;s the problem here...
Will look at it further...

I'm success to copy it in my himalaya. I had tried several method, one of them is o.k. but not sure is this one or not.
1) copy the wince.nls to somewhere in your SD Card.
2) Boot your Himalaya into Safe Mode.
3) Then copy the wince.nls to your Himalaya's \windows\
4) Soft Reset.
Do you mean that you can choose the Chinese region now?

only 1.60b could be chineselization
I had tried to replace wince.nls in WM2K5_160C_WWE in various ways mentioned in xda-dev forum. none of them could be finished this job.
so i had to refresh my rom to 1.60b, everything is OK now. I can override the wince.nls, import *.reg, set regional to PRChina and so on.
expecting a perfect WM2K5_160C supproting Simple Chinese.

WM5 CHS version SD image
Hi buzz:
I have got a SD image from a Himalaya which rom is CHS version, it's backup from a friend of mine. He got it from the seviece center. but when i use this image to flash my himalya, i replaced the SD head, write it to my SD card and flash...finished, hard reset, and I got an error like this:
"Device authentication failure. Please contact the product manufacture. For reference, please provide your device ID.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
Then I found a way to convert the SD image to a .nbf file for the xda-developers site. converted and flashed using the PC through cable, but the same "Device authentication failure..." error occucred again.
And then, I asked my friend flash the SD image to his device which the image came from. succeeded

I've tried another rom image for my mda compact 2 and now my mdac2 does'nt start any more.
I have tried several rom-images (for compact, atom, ewtc..), but I can install no one .
On the T-Mobile Homepage there is no Image for the MDAc 2.
Can anyone help me ?
I only come to the bootloder screen (red - green - blue).
I need a rom-image, that i can start from the bootloader.
thx
Try this link from TMO UK http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/download_manager_mda_com2.html
Success, M
I've already tried this, and it starts updating but then comes the message :
ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID
THis Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone.....
Maybe I have to unlock the CID first ?
But can I unlock the CID with the aWizard, when the Comp.2 is in the Bootloader mode (red-gree-blue) ?
Ouch,
Yes the cid-unlock will be needed :-( Can't you fix the RUU.conf or something simular with a first line like checkid=1 ? I've read about it on the board & seems to work for magician. & there's some tool like MaUpgradeUT_noid for the wizard too, but I don't remember whether that is awizard :-(
You're almost of to the shop isn't it.
BTW when you unzip the shipped-rom, do you get all kinds of nbf files. & Do they all start with the same word when you open them in hexeditor? I use nbfdec to decode them to a 'normal' file which can be edited, then you could be able to fix the header of the nb1 encode it again & try to update your device.
& have you tried some of these tools ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/DumpROM/

In the unzipped folder is no file like RUU.conf.
Only RUU.dll and RUUREsource.dll
There are following files in the folder
EnterBootloader.exe
nk.nbf
README.doc
ROMUpdateUtility.xex
RUUGetInfoi.exe
RUUResource.dll
RUU.dll
And I've downloaded " nbfdec " , but I can not start this program.
I think i have to reboot my computer.
un zip all the files from the t-mobile package
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/Wizard_RomUpgradeUtility_noID.rar
download this and unrar and overwrite in the same folder.
connect up the phone in bootloader to pc and run the ..._NoID.exe
as theres no activesync connection it will pause for a bit on the checking existing rom but still let you carry on
ignore the picture of the wizard, just make sure your installing the right nk.nbf for the compact 2
I've exactly done what you said, the update ended with 100 % and now the device starts until the bootloader-screen (red-green-blue).
Have I done something wrong ?
What has happened ?

I'm terribly sorry, but we've ran out of my knowlegde of the MDA Compact II. So besides the usual question: have you ran the update a second time, for me this would be warranty issue.
Hope Dave is worth more.
Good luck, M
Yes , I have done the update a second time, but with the same effect - the device only starts in the three-color-screen.
So I think I can do nothing more ....

Hello
I have been busy reading this forum and i has been a great help, I have been given 3 phones 2 o2 XDA IQ & a Vodafone V1240 2 of them need repairing new keyboard and casings on them which i found on ebay.
Back to the question is there anyway of changing the boot screens on the xda ia as when it boots it has the welcome to 02 and then a bubble screen could these be changed?? i am running the orignal wm5 but i did flashed it with wm6 rom the beta version but nothing has changed??

here you go...
plug your phone in. run this program. then go to tools/immediate flash tools...and you should have a function called splash screen or something like that. point to the desired file. update... restart your phone and it should work. with this prog, you can also extract splash screen from a nbf file.
Hello
Thanks, I have plugged the phone in and ran program but i get "No file loaded, immediate flash not available (Client DLL not found)"

Choose, Test Immediate Flash, on your phone, TyphoonNBFtool.dll will prompt you to give it permission to run , allow it
Hello
I am completely confused, Downloaded the file to pc unzipped and ran program and get "No file loaded, immediate flash not available (Client DLL not found)" and that's how far i get the phone does prompt me. i have had a look on my phone and found the file "TyphoonNBFtool.dll"??
Cheers

You need to extract the archive to a folder first, then click Test Immediate Flash, then TyphoonNBFtool.dll will prompt you to allow access
Well here I am stupified. I updated the ROM to a WM6 the phone works well with one exception USB and Blue tooth connections will not work. I am struggling with an sd card update ( to reinstall another rom) , but have failed so far. Any suggestions as to how to have my phone talk to th epc again. I can use the sd to get files back and forth. Obviously I am a novice.Txs
AT&T 8525 aka hermes,tyten etc,
What phone do you have?
Duuh, should have mentioned that
ATT&T 8525 aka hermes tyten etc
Are you using XP or Vista to do the upgrade?
In case you have a preproduction HERMES and you can not update the ROM (due to the fact that your bootloader is <1.04) here the very easy solution:
- format a SD card with FAT32
- extract the .NBH file from the rom image you like
- rename the .NBH to HERMIMG.NBH and copy it to your SD card
- put SD card in phone and start it in bootloader (hold OK button on left side and POWER button at same time and stick with stylus in RESET on bottom)
- confirm flashing on screen
- flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait. Complete flash takes about 30 minutes.
This also works for normal (non preproduction) devices but keep in mind that if the CID does not match the flashing might not work.
John
P.S. Same applies to other devices: BREEIMG.NBH, STARIMG.NBH, ...
(i didn't write this)
have a vista x 64 and a xp laptop

- format a SD card with FAT32
no issue
- extract the .NBH file from the rom image you like
can do, but only receive
splash.nb os.nb and sub splash file
- rename the .NBH to HERMIMG.NBH and copy it to your SD card
where is the .nbh file coming from? is this the org rom download?
what do I miss?

Just go to the Hermes forums and look for a rom that you like over there and download the package. More than likely, the zip/rar file will have the upgrading tools as well as a file called nk.nbh. This is your rom. Just do as nir36 said and you should be fine.
Good luck!

did you use a different rom?
I assume you hardspl'd your device prior to flashing a rom right?
Before I did anything I used
http://www.mrvanx.org/thg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16&Itemid=26
from olipro to hardspl my herm
I then succesfully uploaded a vanilla 2d from josh. As the phone went dead( nirvana) a couple of timnes i tried to use a different rom
which i could upload, afterwards though the phone works but no bluetooth or usb connection hence no contact to activity sys and no restoring of my contacts.
Am i bricked or what is it. Can I somehowe eras all info and start from scratch?
MAin concern is I cannot get my huge contact list back in the phone
I have finaly got it to work fyi if someone needs it
I botted into the bootmaster connected to my computer and installed via "olliinstaller" a new rom told the softawre to ignore and safe hard boot.
It worked .
Thanks for all the suggestions and help
Hi everyone, this is a tool for easier switching of the radio, spl and recovery of a 32A Magic. Now written in Java!
Requirements:
Fully charged phone!
Engineering SPL! Get one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019&highlight=hboot+collection
NOTE: If the program says that you DO NOT have root it means that you DO NOT have an Engineering SPL! (S-OFF)
Now a powerful program with a GUI that has several options.
The program allows you to flash the provided files, or select custom ones!
You may also erase the system, data and cache partitions, on demand or as part of the flashing process.
You may now watch the progress on your mobile and on the PC!
NEW! Able to erase partitions AND restore nandroid backups!
N.B! DO NOT RENAME OR TOUCH ANY FILES THAT YOU RECEIVE WITH THE PACKAGE! There is no need for you to mess with it because there are options for flashing CUSTOM files. (the ones you select)
HOW-TO:
1. Extract RadioSwitchGUI_v4.rar anywhere you like, but do not touch anything inside its folder.
2. Boot your phone into fastboot.
3. Connect it to your PC via USB.
Windows:
4. Run RadioSwitcherAPP.jar or WinRun.bat and select one of the options.
5. Enjoy the app.
Linux:
N.B Don't double click on the jar file. It will not load the folder options correct! Use the provided LinuxRun.sh!!!
4. Right click on LinuxRun.sh and choose "Properties".
5. Click on the "Permissions" tab.
6. Click on "Allow executing file as program" and enable it. If it is allready enabled then leave it!
7. Click "Close".8.Double click on LinuxRun.sh and choose "Run".
8. Enjoy the app.
Warning! The procedure involves RISK, by downloading the files you agree that YOU are to be held responsible in case of any damage.
WITH THE PROVIDED FILES IT CAN ONLY BE USED FOR THE OLD 32A MAGIC (W/O 3.5MM JACK)!!!
You can use custom files to use it for flashing ANY device though!
THIS PROGRAM WILL (by default) ERASE YOUR SYSTEM AND DATA PARTITIONS!
This program will NOT create a nandroid backup that you can revert to later, so do it manually.
I hope someone will find it usefull!
Enjoy!
I wish to thank

N.B: PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE CORRESPONDING .MD5 FILE AND CHECK FOR CORRUPTION BEFORE PROCEEDING (Win only, linux has it integrated)
Great idea
Awesome idea, I like it, just a little concerning for noobs if a file is renamed as NEW instead of OLD it could cause a brick and vise versa
For those using this please follow the instructions provided carefully, and rename the correct readio/SPL to the correct names, Yes I know sounds simple enough.
Awesome work, might give it a try to revert to old radio to try the latest cyanogenmod ROM
and just wanted to suggest to include the Radio/SPL file combo's in the download to create a full package and simplify things even further.
I did include them all in the download link (I've made it more clear in the OP) The reason why i also provided just the batch file is cause some people might prefer using their own radio/spl/recovery combo
BTW, the new Cyanogen is simply amazing. It is as fast as 1.6/1.5! I'm currently running it...
Very useful but it returns me an error:
"CHOICE: invalid choice switch syntax. Expected form: /C[:] choices"
and then asks for installing the NEW radio
What's wrong ?
Did you press either 1 or 2 and NOTHING else?
I've tested it again, if i press any other number the computer beeps. You can only select 1 or 2.
The options work fine for me.
/c[:] "choice" sets from which values you can choose. in this case its 1 or 2
It just start with the error as soon as i run it, no menu and no way to choose between the two option even pushing 1 (or 2) while starting the batch.
I guess you have Vista/7; it must be something wrong with XP, I will let you know....
yes, i wrote it under win7...but it has to be compatible.
try downloading it again...
ill make a version in xp later today if you cant get it to work
I've tested it on other machines running XP with the same result, and works as it should on the only PC running Vista I have at the office.
ah ah, it's kind of amazing, it's the first time Vista does something better than XP ;-)
I think it depends on the different choice files in the two system (choice.com in XP - choice.exe in Vista)
Don't worry about me, I will revert to old radio step by step (I'm just courious to try the new Cyanogen 5 since the Hero update to 2.1 is still late)
Anyway, it will be a very useful tool for many people, so I hope you to succeed in get it working in XP too (of course if other people has the same errors in XP).
Thank you eyegor
SOLVED
choice.com (XP) and choice.exe (Vista) have different syntax (poor MS customers). I've made some testing and found:
Vista (as in your batch): CHOICE /N /C 12 /M "Press "1" for the OLD radio, or "2" for the NEW radio"
to get it working in XP must be translated to:
CHOICE /N /C12 "Press 1 for the OLD radio, or 2 for the NEW radio"
and, yes, this is sooo stupid IMHO ......... blame MS once again
Ill provide an xp version later today...or tomorrow if i dont succeed today..

EDIT: When I did switcher-for-xp download, just come a batch file! No radio or spl files! Some idea?
just put that new file in the folder with radio/spl/recovery instead of the old file ;-)

Let me know how it goes if you use it!
BTW, Lubu, I only just saw what you wrote about XP, i implemented XP support in another way
Thank you for your assistance!
xD Didn't expect somebody will use this ... Glad to know somebody likes the Batch file... I will upload the latest version that includes files verification...
The only problem is that I need to translate the batch from spanish to english...
Dou you have MSN???
EDIT::
Translation done... I will try to contact you to send you my batch file, it's has more security as it doesn't allow to install any file if it's not present in a "default" folder...
As you did the thread first, I don't want to take the credit of it ^^...
Hi eyegor
I have made little modification to this batch files. Here are my version (Radio_Switcher_tomme45i.zip includes XP and standard version) - added few commands and fully translated to Polish lang.
Cheers
great!
ill add it to the op when i get home

Version 2.1 is now out!
It is more secure and has more options!
It will NOT work with old files unless they are renamed to fit the names of the ones mentioned in the OP!
Code improvements done by :No-Frost: and I!
Uploaded!
I definetly want to see the improvements made by you ^^...
I'm working in an executable file that doesn't need anything more than a download and execute to show you the options (probably not even ADB )...
