hi - i have downloaded the XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe from jeff summers post at http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe when i run the program it says that it cannot find the ROM image to upgrade your pocket pc please download and try again. i think my question is - how do i make the download from jeff see the rom image i have to enable it to make the modifications and then install it to my device....... many thanks in anticipation of some assistance. :?
Have you looked at the file size? I would try downloading it again, it maybe you have a corrupt or partial file.
hi thanks for your reply - i have now checked the file size - the download is 15.4 meg and the file i have is also 15.4 meg .... i will however download the file again just to eliminate the corrupt file issue and will post to this thread the results of trying to run the newly downloaded version. thanks for your reply.
i have done as i said but i still get the same error message.... 007 cant find the rom image ... can you or anyone tell me the procedure for using this developers program as per the above link from jeff... i need to know where to place the rom image so that the program can find and adjust it.
Just to check whether it's the file contents and not something else, change the file name to .zip and use Winzip to check the file. You should find a directory named \english that has a file named NK.nbf with a size of 32 MB
In that case if you have SD card and reader/writer, just move this file to the SD card and use the bootloader (power button + soft reset) to flash your XDA.
Hi thanks for your reply – I have done as you asked and yes the file does exist….. the only card reader writer I have is the xda its self via activsync – will this be suitable ?? – I have read lots of info of this site and wondered do I run the risk of destroying my xda by being of limited ability and not using a “.exe” self installing method. ?
Hi ...
If you can extract the NK.nbf file, then you can use the XDAtools from this site. Use the OSImage tool to copy the file contents to your XDA flash ROM. I would recommend taking a backup first using the same tool but with the opposit source/destination.
If you still get the error message then you are stuck to the SD card method. Up to my info (didn't try it tho), copying the file through the XDA will not work as the card will be formated during the the copying, you must use a PC reader\writer for this.
You better be very careful as YES there is always possibility to turn your XDA into a very expensive paper weight!! ... but by following the instructions it will go very smoothly.
Good luck ...
thanks i will give it my best shot and return here with the results....and possibly an expensive paper weight
many thanks.

Hi,
I have a T-Mobile MDA Pro, and am not quite satisfied with the ROM they installed.
I want to try some different ROMs, like the O2 Exec, but I want to be able to go back to the original.
How can I create a back-up of the ROM, Extended ROM, and Radio ROM that I can put back at a later date ?
I've already seen grab_it by buzz, but that only makes a .bin file and I have no idea how to put that back if I ever want to revert to this state :/
Thank you,
TB
Please use the SEARCH button as this has been discussed already.
ANyway to help you do the following:
1. Download the latest T-Mobile ROM (the exe file) from the XDA Dev FTP site. Then extract this to a folder, say EXPERIMENT
2. Put the BIN file there
3. Go to Buzzdev.net nad follow the procedure to ENCODE/DECODE ROM. This will change the original nk.nbf (the OS) with your BIN file. using HTC64 Extended ROM Tool.exe
4. Then just put the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe file into this directory also.
Now you have your OS backed up ready to install to a device in the EXPERIMENT directory. Now just make sure the T-Mobile ROM you downloaded has the same radio ROM. If not, download a verison with same radio rom and replace the radio_.nbf file with the downloaded version.
Backing up the ExtendedROm has to be done manually. Just transfer all contents to a alternate directory in the PC then just put it back to replace what's already there.
Hope this helps
What do you do with the dump.bin file though?
Rename it to nk.nbf
Ha - that didn't work.
Did you follow the ENCODE/DECODE procedure in BUZZ's site?

Jorgee,
What you mean with:
"Backing up the ExtendedROm has to be done manually. Just transfer all contents to a alternate directory in the PC then just put it back to replace what's already there"
- What is the PPC folder where I find the content of ExtendedROM?
- How I can trasfer to PC, with ActiveSync? Sometimes I received error messages like "unable to convert file format" or something like that...
- How I can transfer back, is not the ExtendedRom locked?
Let me know...
Luca
To view the Extended ROM, just install TOTAL COMMANDER for PPC
Then in the address bar, put : "\\EXTENDED_ROM" (without the quotes)
Then you will see the contents of extended ROM.
If you want, you can copy the contents of the Extended to your SD card instead so you don't have to connect to your PC.
To unlock your extended ROM (to change/delete/edit the stuff there) you need a certain file which is in the FTP under Uploads/Universal/Tools or something to that effect.

Hello Jorgee,
I've tried to install Total Commander on my v1640 but when I access \\EXTENDED_ROM nothing is shown...
What's missing?
Thanks

Jorge I found the mistake, \EXTENDED_ROM is with only one back slash and not with two.
Thank you very much for your help...
ich bought a 2Gb miniSD , and after I format it, it has only 1,12 Gb . Can anyone tell me , if that is normal. I think, I can have min. 1,6 Gb for a 2 Gb miniSD.
Thanks for your answer
similar happened to me
I got some files on my storage card with weird characters that I could not delete. while doing a hard reset, I decide to remove all the SC files and start from scrash. it happens that my laptop is not compatible with my micro sd then I decided to put it in a digital camra and delete files. Now I only have 1MB capacity on my 2GB any help is appreciated too.
i have found a solution. Just download this file and run it , you will get your full memory back.
*** Rename the file to .rar and unpack
Whilst on the subject
What is the largest SD capacity supported by the XDA Exec (O2 branded)?

Really? The problem can be fixed with software? It isn't a hardware problem (defective card)?

Why would someone rename a .rar file as a .zip file, and the end user has to rename it back again? What purpose does that serve?

This forum only supports hosting of zip files, not rar files. I guess it was easier to change the extension rather than convert it. At least he tried to help!

Can you guys help me a little bit since i'm newbie with this.. i've never flashed a rom (still with 6.0), however my phone isn't locked to any phone company..
1. to instal from sd card do i need a new radio and new ROM >6.1? or only a new radio is necessary? or my ROM and Radio of origin works good? i bought my kaiser more than two years ago...
2. to install instead WM (think you call nand or something ;P) the same questions.
Thanks for all help in advance.
Unfortunately mediafire.com seems to be down for some time now. Does someone has a copy of RLS15 to share via torrent/http. I can offer webspace too in case to help with this situation.

Can you try with another mSD?
You can also try to format mSD with SDformatter.
Or try to download the .zip again.

Maybe if you changed it from a rar file to zip, that would be the solution. I've seen a number of users who have had issues with the naming convention. What I did was to download the file, and rename it to "update". Do not add a "zip" extension when naming the file. Once that has been accomplished, it should work as a normal update. Good luck.

Well originally when I downloaded the file , the format was .zip so I don't think that the file is rar with just changed extension.
Tried with others update and the result are the same ,sd is not working too I don't think that the file is the problem, because while I downloaded it two days ago ,it's download without any error or problems

You may need to try a different micro sd card. See if you can borrow one if you don't have a spare. I have heard of issues with larger cards, and the smaller ones seem to work most of the time. If possible format the card (fat 32) prior to putting the update file on it.

Well, I've never used an update.rar file. All of mine have been update.zip. That is most likely your problem.

Hi,
since I am a new user I am not allowed to post in the original thread, hence my question here. I am total noob when it comes to Android. I am stuck on step 13 of the guide. How do I access the zip file on the sd card? My phone shows up as a drive but I can not see the contents of the sd card and therefore can not start .bat file.
Is that not the correct way to access the contents on the sd card, or did I do something wrong preparing the phone?
Thanks for the help!
Kind regards
Philipp
You've to start the .bat file from the installer file from your computer
Edit: For step 13 you need the Z1C installer.zip file. Unzip the file on your PC and run the install.bat
Thanks, I made it more clear! :good:
Thanks to both of you! I am going to try it out right nów. Should have thought of it, .bat is a Windows file.
Just out of curiosity; Does the .bat file unzip the files on the sd card, or why did I have to put them on there?
Kind regards
Philipp
edit: Never mind, I just saw that they were two different files!
