Well, this is pretty newbie advice to most of you, so you may think it doesn't warrant a write up, but I had to do some searching for info on how to upgrade my ROM so I thought it would be good to put it all in one thread.
1) Download the ROM you want from the FTP server....Details here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_FTP_Site
2) Download MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to your Desktop from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=7644
3) Disconnect your device from the USB cable.
4) Hold the Power button + Light bulb button, and press the reset pin found at the back of the device (fiddly if you have large fingers).
You will notice that the screen of the device is dark but has “USB” and "v 1.0" written on it.
5) Connect back your device via the USB cable.
6) Run the download ROM upgrade application...When it prompts you to begin the upgrade process, just minimise the window or leave it alone (DON'T CLOSE THE PROGRAM).
7) Whilst it is running, use Windows to search for a file named RUU.dll
8 ) Right click file and choose ‘Open Containing Folder’
9) Select all files and copy them
10) Create a temporary storage location....C:\Upgrade....And Paste all copied files in here.
11) Copy the file MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe from the desktop into C:\Upgrade
12) Close the previously started upgrade application running in the background
13) Run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe from it's C:\Upgrade location
The upgrade process should begin now…If it does not, run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe application again
Make sure you DO NOT DISCONNECT the cable.
The upgrade takes around 20 minutes to complete.
14: Disconnect the USB cable when told, then push the reset pin. Ignore the advice to do a hard reset by holding down the soft keys while you do this, just push the reset pin by itself. Your Universal will load the new ROM image and you're all done.
Thanks.
Thanks!

It will go to USB when upgrading.
It doesn't seem to work with last Qtek 9000 ROM...
Help!
OK, I made my own instructions. Follow this instruction of mine:
The file is extracted in your computer. Once you run the shipped.exe file, you need to go to:
My Computer
Your Drive (mine is Drive C)
Show the contents of this drive
Documents and Settings
Choose your folder name
Choose "TOOLS" from the menu bar
Choose "FOLDER OPTIONS"
Click on the "VIEW" tab
Click on "HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS"
YOU WANT TO SHOW ALL HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS
Now go to TEMP folder
Now you will notice a bunch of folders will show up, tons of them to be exact. What you need to do now is click on the shipped.exe file again and "LOOK" for the folder being created because that folder is what you want to copy. If you did not see it created, you have to manually open each folder and look for the files I listed below.
Assuming you found the folder, you will have these following files inside that folder:
ms_.nbf----------------------this file is responsible for EXT ROM Version
nk.nbf------------------------this file is responsible for Windows Mobile Version
radio.nbf---------------------this file is responsible for Radio Version
EnterBL
GetDeviceData
readme
ROMUpgradeUt
RUU.conf
RUU.dll
UI.dll
MaUpgradeUt_noID
If the file MaUpgradeUt_noID is not there. You need to get hold of a copy of this file as you need this.
There you have it, REMEMBER, you need to have the MaUpgradeUt_noID file plus all the rest of the file if you want to upgrade to the ENTIRE I-Mate ROM, QTEK, O2, or whatever ROM you want.
If you only want to upgrade to the radio version then you need to delete 2 files namely: "ms_.nbf" and "nk.nbf". Leave "radio.nbf" alone and click on the "MaUpgradeUt_noID" file to initiate the Radio installation. Basically those 3 files control what you want to update on your device.
Hope my instructions were clear enough for you. Hope this helps.
cannot locate files after running exe
Hi All, I have ran the ROM update exe and the message saying extracting file XXX etc appears OK then the program closes. When I search for the files, for instance *.nbf they dont exist anywhere on the computer - does the exe autodelete the temp directory and have I missed a stage ? Any help gratefully accepted

Did you follow the instructions above on how to show hidden files and folders? After double clicking the .exe file and running it, leave it open then look for the NEWLY created folder in the TEMP folder as instructed. You need to look for it the hard way by opening each folder one by one and check for the files to see if you got the right one.
someone advised me for some extra step, someone please advise is it coorect steps:
"Then you need to make a small change to one of the text files. Look in the directory for
RUU.conf
Open it in notepad and add this line
[CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1
then save it
That’s about it….."
thx for reply christian,
yes i tried searching every folder the manual way but still no joy, I have just copied the rom exe onto my other computer and it worked OK on there and updated my exec without any further problems
Hi All, Linked to the update of the exec software , i noticed the audio playback on tom tom navigator and media files is very jerky to the point you can hardly make out what is being said. has anyone else had the same problem and have you found a solution to fix the problem ?
many thanks
Steve
Bricked QTek 9000
I got a Qtek on ebay and it was working when I tried to upgrade it failed with a "115" Radio Error.
Tried the method on this thread and it completes the upgrade but when I reset, I does not change from "USB v1.0" can anyone help!!!!
Hi
I'd like to take the risk for updating my Dopod 900 for new versions of ROM & radio, but I've got couple of questions.
1. I've got Dopod 900. I do understand, that it's absolutely the same with Qtek9000, but to be sure: may I use ROM update for Qtek?
2. My ROM (1.13.69) & radio (1.04.02) as of 10/12/05 are ancient What version of ROM & radio consider to be stable as of now? I saw in signatures that people using ROM 1.30.77 and radio 1.09.00. Are they OK?
3. I got on FTP and was a bit confused: as far as I understood the latest ROM is 1.30.100 (UNI_QTEK_130100_190_10900_ESN_Ship.exe), but it's for ESN (Spanish???) localization. So in order to get WWE I should use UNI_ORUK_13090_174_10300_WWE_Ship.exe and that update radio separately from 1.03.00 up to 1.09.00 or just UNI_QTEK_13077_176_10900_WWE_Ship.exe? What would u advice me?
4. What is the benefit for updating from 1.13.69 and 1.04.02? Will it works faster & more stable?
Thx in advance & take care
Hi
I tried this and get a 120 (incorrect country ID) error.
Strange, my V1640 from Vodafone is spanish and i want to upgrade to UNI_QTEK_130100_190_10900_ESN_Ship.exe

Can any body help me?
Thanks a lot
Please!!!
Edit post number 1 and add as the last step:
14: Disconnect the USB cable when told, then push the reset pin. Ignore the advice to do a hard reset by holding down the soft keys while you do this, just push the reset pin by itself. Your Universal will load the new ROM image and you're all done.
It seems that a lot of people are having trouble after a ROM upgrade by following the instructions on the upgrade program which tell them to hard reset.
Many thanks! PU10 by German T-Mobile upgraded to WWE
I have a T mobile mda pro, any recommendations as to what the best rom is.
Im torn between the new orange rom which is supposed to be good and the jasjar one?
Anyone?
Latest jasjar ROM
Hi,
Can I follow these instructions with my UK jasjar?
Where can I find the latest Rom?
Cheers
Anyone can point me out to the adequate ROM?
thanks

Hi all , I 've bought a ppc Asus P525 chinese ROm . Now I want to change the WWE Rom . ANyone have this Rom plwase PM me bye Yahoo messenger or this forum , thanks . Y!M : [email protected]
Any luck?
Did anyone contacted you?
I am looking for such a ROM myself.
Anyboby have it ? Please send it to me
i wrote so big post about my experiens with P525 and at last pressed on smile and opened new page deleted all i wrote
have no mood to write it again. I will tell shortly:
I also have P525 chinese version (TW CHT version)
1) currently, i don't know how to grab whole ROM from P525.
itsutils can grab whole ROM excluding bootloader. Grabber like Grab_it grabs only garbage and thus completely useless. ROM type is DOC (TrueFFS) which according what i found is hard to grab. If anyone knows how to grab ROM fully - tell me how.
2) Flashing only OS rom and without checksum is at first unknown procedure and at second can make from your P525 just expensive brick. Size of different language ROMs of P525 varies greately. Also, some P525 ROMS have extended ROM while others no. Taiwanese version has 3MB extended rom where KKBOX installer resides. It's easy to unhide it and remove KKBOX to free space for some other apps. HK version has no KKBOX, so i don't know is extended ROM present there or not. TW model has 61.75 of user storage space. IS there any HK users? how much user storage space in HK version? it can answer question: is there extended ROM in HK version or not. English version has 74MB (!!!) of free storage space and has no extended ROM. So, flashing different language OS (if to know how to flash) will probably lead device to non-responsible state.
3) there is bootloader flasher. you can enter it by holding down "record" button and press reset. But this flasher doesn't accept neither standard ROM update from ASUS site nor decrypted and renamed ROM. For me it tells that language is different. Ridiculous.. May be it will accept english ROM? Also, quick looking in hex editor i can see that bootloader can accept different file names and some strings relative to serial mode (console). Seems bootloader can be switched to different modes, but i don't know how to do this. Currently, in flasher mode P525 not recognized by desktop computer. even no any sound or other reaction telling that something pluggen into USB. Would be good to find more info about bootloader of ASUS P525.
Summary of key combination while pressing reset button (or turn on)
1) Hold jostick up -> enter to hard reset menu
2) Hold down record button (it's near camera button) -> enter to bootloader's flasher.
Meantime i mage english transformation installer for P525. After that P525 becomes fully english, till next hard reset of course. It eats user storage space of course, but at least my P525 is fully english!
Well, i'm not sure what is better: have CHT version + english transformation or ENG + chinese font and input because i need to read and write both languages. Actually, my chinese is very bad (only beginning) i defnately need english interface. What i like most in english ROM is 74MB of user storage space!!
May be some guru will have this wonderful device (much better than any available HTC device now) and will share some hacks :roll:
by the way, a week ago, ASUS had new update for HK and TW versions. After couple of days it has been removed. Anyone knows why?
I compared files: changes in couple of BT files, many updated files in Voice commander. That's all if i recall right. I didn't try to flash it yet.
ok. i programmed english ROM to my P525! works great!
now Storage space is 74MB! (61MB was with chinese version)
i'm continuing my monolog. Seems everybody with P525 only waiting for info..
after digging in bootloader code i found:
- found procedure to calculate checksum. this allowed me to flash english ROM dumped from english P525.
- Bootloader has several modes.
- key combinations for flashing different part of ROM. You need keep these buttons while pressing "reset" button (or while turning on):
1) Photo - update ROMGalaxy.nb0 (ROM without bootloader)
2) Record - update BootGalaxy.nb0 (only bootloader)
3) Photo+Record - update Galaxy.nb0 (whole ROM)
4) Photo+Record+Joistick_Action - USB Console mode
There is some check for Jostick_UP mode. I'm not sure if it can switch to another update mode or it's just for hardreset because Jostick_Up used for HR as well. ARM assembler for me is new. I used to read x86 assembler
Also, bootloader can accept standard ROM update from ASUS site - Galaxy.cap, but i didn't find the way of activate such mode. Probably it may be activated only by update application by calling this mode through IOCTRL function.
Another unclear thing is USB Console mode. I can connect to phone by mtty as to USB COM (something like \\USB_blah_blah - i don't remember exact name), but any attempt to type something doesn't produce any echo to screen. Either bootloader can not echoing or requires to type some authorisation command to unlock console mode. Or may be this mode support only direct file transfer without any commandline interface..
Bad thing is that nobody except me explore P525
Good thing about P525 ROM is that understandable by imgfs tools! No extra work required to dump all files and modules. and with no error! I guess, imgfs tools can compile new ROM also without errors. Opened door to ROM kitchen as for himalaya in the past?
Actually, i would like to add/modify/remove some components (like T9 languages). Since, i can flash old ROM anytime if cooked ROM will not work, why don't try.. just need to find some spare time and enough courage
Well mate, all this sound very good.
I am waiting to have some money and get one of those p525.
sorg. Great work!!
I also had lots of fun with the Flash process. Just found out that if I use the AC adaptor, the bootloader will complain "checksum error" while using the USB cable will not. I believe this is due to the design of the USB port (remember that the cable's 2nd,3nd legs are shorted)
I had successfully flashed the ENG ROM. However, now I would like to get the T9 CHT input back. I had tried to use the Asus "official" rom to flash the CHT version back (HK ver.) but the device keep complaining the "region" is not correct (I had already set the language ID to 0 , I believe this "error" should be caused by the extended ROM, but will try later when I got the CHT ROM )
Is there any tricks I had to do to modify the original galaxy.cap ROM image so that I could flash it though the boot loader instead of the ASUS official flash tools? or could you kindly upload the HK-CHT .nb0 ROM?
Deeply apprciate your help!
Cheers!
Hum, maybe using imgfs to dump the T9 input module out should be fine for us, sorg. (coz I need both ENG and CHT but need the ENG interface.... )
haha, mind to share how to manage the official ROM to .nb0 ROM? so that I could cook the ROM as well. HUM, getting the answering machine from GSMART-i and background-mixer than cook them into P525 should be very delicious. wahahaha
i gave you CHT ROM for bootloader flasher in PM.
Currently, i'm in final stage of my cooked ROM. It's based on english v3.29. I added chinese font/nls/input(T9, HW and SIP) and some other useful utilities. Also, since i'm russian i added russian input as well.
I think i will finish testing in couple of days.
Dear sorg,
Thanks a million for your guidience. I am browsing online materials and want to try to cook my own ROM. I had a friend who have a g-smart i WM phone. The phone comes with a s/w answering machine and a very good "background mixer" (which you can pretend you are in a busy environment during telephone call). Therefore, I would like to dump his ROM and check to see if I could use fsimg tool to get these 2 program out. can you show me a road to useful information?
(P.S. I had suspected that the ASUS autorun.exe block the flash process.... but just can't find where the "regional setting" is located in..... thanks for your bright help! YOU ARE NOW ANNOUNCED THE P525 GURU!!! )
Cheers! Cheers! Cheers!
can you extract files and registry related to cheating utility from GSMART's ROM (or give me link to such ROM and name of exe file)?
i will try to put it into ROM.
Structure of P525 ROM is relatively easy. To decrypt ROM you have to XOR whole galaxy.cap file by mask A87BC0DF. Then you may use imgfs_tools utilities
But to flash ROM back you have to calculate checksumm of new ROM. I don't want publush function right now because it's still dangerous. not much known yet about P525 ROM. For example, flashing with wrong language and fail will lock your device to that language which probably you don't know. And if device will not able to finich boot to OS you will not able to use language unlock utility. I also found problem to flash bigger ROM update through bootloder's flasher. it always fail. Only way to update to bigger ROM is to use official chinese update galaxy.cap and only after that use hand-made ROM with the same or smaller size. Once you programmed smaller size, you will not able to program bigger one. Again have to use chinese official update.
I don't know why it happens. So, it's not right time to spread tools. When most things will be known then it will be safe to release.
ah, didn't see question about ROM dumping.
I thing, it's better to find update first.
Dumping works not on all phones. You may try to use itsutils. There is utility pdocread.exe which can dump TrueFFS DOC.
Hi sorg,
I had copied the pdocread.exe to the sd-card and run it on my friend's g-smart-i. It caused his phone to freeze..... I re-tried for a few time and now he refused to borrow it to me to continue the experiment... >_< (I should not do the experiment in front of him, and should poke the reset button secretly, hahaha) Well, I will continue to try to get the ROM, once I had successfully dump it out, will let you know at once!
What I intended to do is to use an ENG rom, use a 3rd party CHINESE engine (which I can turn off when not needed) and have the T9 input always resident in memory...... I had tried to copy all T9*.* to the /windows directory and imported the T9IME registry entry from CHT ROM to ENG ROM. It doesn't work at all, the result is that I am unable to change T9's mode (e.g. only able to input 123, can't even change to input ENG / T9 ENG). Waiting for your advice!
Cheers!
pdocread should be run on Desktop computer while PDA connected through activesync. Also you should enable RAPI on PDA (look for enable_rapi.cab on this forum).
Actually, i revised my archive or ROMs and found one version from GSmart. So, i think, no need frighten your friend anymore
unfortunately, i couldn't make neither AnswerMachine nor PhoneRec/Environment Cheater to work. Actually, all these three apps are pretending to work on P525. I can listen example of environment cheater in settings, AnswerMachine picks the phone in right time, PhoneRec opens dialog where progess of recording should be visible, but neither playback to phoneline nor record from there are workining There is topic about porting these apps on buzzdev board but so far no any positive results. Probably, gigabyte has some specific hardware allowing to interat with phone line, but all other Phones has no such ability
We are lucky that at least P525 allows record phone conversation (through any available recording software)! Most HTC devices have no even such feature!
please follow to this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279777
there is discussion about P525 ROM(s) with modified version i published.
any questions to me please ask in that topic.

Guys, my phone is dead and I need a little help please.
I have a T-Mobile MDA Compact II and have mistakenly (why it worked I don't know) 'updated' it with a Prophet firmware release. This progressed as I expected but was I since discovered completely wrong. My phone now shows a black screen with Dopod logo on boot and then hangs.
I have since found this site (looks good btw!) and subsequently the ftp area. I've downloaded the correct firmware for my phone, reset into the three colour screen and kicked off the Romupdater for the proper version I believe to be for my phone. With the 2 releases from ftp (one in that directory appears to be only half a zip file) they appear to be uploading but there is no change with the black screen problem.
I'm now stuck and am hunting for options. I'm more than happy to help myself but can someone explain what I need to do and start me on my way to fixing this.
All because it hangs from time to time when I run up too many apps on it.
Thanks in advance
Andy
Tell us what ROM you are using and which software you are using to perform your ROM update.
Anyway, it is weird that the Prophet ROM doesn't work on your phone. Keep this low tone, but I've done a Prophet ROM flash on my Charmer before. Everthing works well except the camera, that's why I flashed it back to the original ROM. I won't advise others to do so, there seems to be a few 'fatal' cases. I'm not sure, probably because it is compatible with the earlier Prophet version.
UPDATE: Nevermind, you seems to have the information. Good if you can stick to the same threat to avoid confusion. To others, please refer to

Correction, it's SPL 2.15, IPL 1.12.

Have now found the awizard utility, which file type does awizard need to be fed via the ROM directory?
Yes I'm a newbie at this and shouldn't have messed with the ROM update but I'm an I.T. guys by trade so if you can feed me the info I need I should be able to follow instructions
Phone is still 'dead' though.
It needs
XXX-OS.nba
XXX-Radio.nba
XXX-ExtROM (directory wit Ext Rom stuff)
You ought to get these from the FTP. I've myself uploaded a Charmer original UK ROM T-mobile, it should be still there is no one messed with it.
Hmm, I've missed something then. I put the .nba files into the ROM directory and then run awizard and hit w. Where I would expect to see a list of files with numbers there isn't any.
What I miss?
the dir structure of the aWizard looks like the attached, where you have the ROMs under the "ROM" dir and Ext ROM. Where the aWizard directory has the aWizard.cmd file.
Can someone provide a split up (i.e. seperated nbf files) for the Charmer or the correct memory addresses to punch into nb2nbf to create my own?
The images seem to have been removed from the FTP site and I'm in position to de-brick my phone!
Hello Experts,
i have read a lot of the Threads here, but i can't find a good information
about my O2 Cosmo. My Dash is Simlook free and SuperCID enabeld.
I found this instructions:
Tools you need:
===============
- HexWorkshop from http://www.bpsoft.com/downloads/-
the ROM of your choice
- Winzip or Winrar
- a valid UNL file for YOUR phone
Preparation:
============
a) install HexWorkshop and Winzip or Winrar on your pc
b) in explorer on pc, RIGHT click on the ROM of your choice and use: "Extract files to folder ..." from conext menu Now it will unpack all the files
c) in the new folder you will have ONE file like "HRUU_signed.NBH" (*.NBH) RIGHT click on the .NBH file and use: "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from context menu
d) You'll see on the 5th row EXCA20000 ==> !!! make it EXCA***** (5 stars) and save the file
e) Now RIGHT click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe and use: "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from conext menu
Search for word "BsaD5SeoA" (without quotes, case sensitive)
You'll find it around address 0x3FC6C ==> !!! replace "BsaD5SeoA" with "IMEICHECK" (without quotes) and save the file
ROM-Update:
===========
1) take SIM card and SD card OUT of the phone
2) Connect the phone running windows ce to the pc (normal way).
3) Completely Unlock your phone using our unlocker <== REALLY IMPORTANT
4) After phone is unlocked run unlocker (again) BUT when the unlocker ask for UNL file, remove the USB cable from the phone THEN press "Cancel" on the unlocker select file window (unlocker will close on PC). NOTE: The screen on the device will not show something usefull when in this mode. Most probably it is complete WHITE. !!THIS IS NORMAL!! Don't touch phone, let it like it is!
5) After you closed the unlocker, attach usb cable again (phone has still white screen)
6) start (the modified) ROMUpdateUtility.exe
7) when update finished and device started you will get a message: "Data Crashed, contact service provider" (!NO PANIC!) ==> Simply fix this problem by running the unlocker again and this time select the key file normal way (full unlock process again). In case you have problems please indicate the step letter/number which is not clear/not working for you. If you REALLY do it STEP by STEP exact like described you will have no problem.

it works suddenly...i dont know "why" it works, i have done the same, like
every time i try it, but yesterday my dash move to the needed "WHITE
Screen"! And so i able to run the Rom Update, and it works fine!
Ah yes, my Phone tell me i'm in "SuperCID" Mode...so "WHY" i must use
this "CID Bypass Tool" ....crazy??? Or is my Phone a Liar...?
I have now installed this Rom, it Works a bit faster i mean:
RUU_Excalibur_HTC_GER_1.11.407.2_4.1.13.28_02.63.90_Ship.exe
But it is the same Rom Vers, like my old O2-Cosmo Rom, WM5.0 (1) with
Future Pack. But i have now the HTC Splash Screen!
So i want now to install this Rom (with WM6.1) :
"NoThrills_WM61_GER_V3.exe"
This is a "Kaiser" Rom... "Warum eigentlich Kaiser, hat der Beckenbauer damit
was zu tun...*g*
But when i try to run again the "Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS" tool, my
dash show me only the "Linux Monkey" (Pinguin) Screen and hang up the
Phone, so that i must remove the battery....
The "White Screen" (that is the Screnn you must have to flash your Rom),
will dont come anymore....i dont know how...??? I start this batch file,
"Uspl.bat" ... and follow the instructions....mmh....allways i get the Linux
Monkey Screen...and not the white screen, "WHY" ?
Anybody a hint, how i can move into the "White Screen" Modus?
And a Question, is this Kaiser Rom compatible to my HTC S620 ?
Please belive me, i read a lot here...but i cant figure out this..., this Forum
here is a bit confusing, on many Threads you can read other informations!
Plz anyone, tell me (who know it) how i move exactly in the White Boot Screen?
Thank you!
If I understand you right you flashed a rom from the HTC Kaiser on your Dash. That's Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional for Touch Screen Devices. You need a rom from this thread for your Dash, not the Kaiser thread. Those ROM's are specifically for that phone. I doubt they'd even work on other Touch Screen phones because of it has the radio (I believe Radio is like Drivers in Windows, I may be wrong.) for that phone. As to fix your problem. I have no clue. Maybe you can get lucky and reflash it with an Official Dash ROM for your phone, but better getting advice on that from one of the more experienced people here. I'm a bit of a newby when it comes to this phone stuff. Good luck...

Thank you!
But "NO" i don't flash my HTC S620 wit a Kaiser Rom..."What a Luck" ...i try
to do it...and now im Happy that this have not work for me!
I actually install this Rom:
RUU_Excalibur_HTC_GER_1.11.407.2_4.1.13.28_02.63.9 0_Ship.exe
I have now understand, what is a Kaiser ROM, it is the Device Name, oh
Man...i'm so a dummy....haha...
But i have a success, i change my O2 Rom to a HTC Rom
The Question now is, how i move in the "WHITE BOOT SCREEN" ?
That i'm able to Update my Rom to a WM6.1, if posible, a German 6.1 Rom.
Is here a German WM6.1 Rom?
Is a WWE a Multilingual Rom, is in such ROMs German Language included?
And how i can remove the CID forever, so that im able to update a ROM
without a CID Bypass Bootloader?
Any ideas?
The thing is, ...this CID Bypass Bootloader work "ONCE" and now that
Bootloader dont work anymore...i dont know why...i get only the Linux
Pinguin Screen...and this is a "Hang up Screen" so that i must remove
the Battery, for a new start.
But i get nevermore the "White Boot Screen" ...how is this posible?
I do the same, like before i do...mmh...???
If I understand what's been said. You need to re-run the CID-Bypass anytime you reflash you phone. As for a German ROM. I am not sure. Ypu'd need to look around through the furom. You could try the "Seach" feature and see what you come up with.

Thank you,
but i try to run the "CID Bypass" but the "CID Bypass" run every time
into the "Linux Pinguin Screen" ...(i think it is programed in Linux?)
But the same "CID Bypass Bootloader" - work - for me "once" !
But now, not ! I dont know why?
With this CID Bypass Bootloader, i flash my Q2 Rom into a HTC Rom !
But that was only possible, as my dash move with this "CID Bypass Bootloader"
INTO a "White Boot Screen"...!
But "HOW" this was possible...i dont know...now this CID Bypass Bootl.,
wont work anymore....
You know what i mean?
The same tool (CID Bypass) wont work anymore, it work one time only.
When i now try to run this CID Bypass, i get a "Linux Pinguin Screen" in
Black. So there is a little Linux Pinguin "Preloader" ...and then the Phone
have a SOD..."Stand of Death" you Guys call that so, i think so!?
To search here, is very strange for me....i get results of all Forums here!
That was the reason why i want to try the Kaiser Rom, while i search
here in the Excalibur Forum...so i had think so, that was wrong, you know!?
Sorry, my english is not good enough to tell exactly my expirience!
But Thank you for Advice!
Hum, does it still look like windows mobile? If so they may have just changed the load screen. Either way when you run the bypass program, there' one step that'll show a screen on the phone when in windows mobile itself and you must press the center soft button to "continue" and then it'll enter the white screen mode. Sometimes I forget this step and bounce through the steps missing that. If you can't get into windows mobile, try reflashing with your phones official ROM first. They don't require the white screen. There's also a way to enter the bootloader screen by holding down a button, I forget which, while you press power to turn the phone on.

...no no, this ROM runs great! I have no Problem with this Rom!
But i have found a Solution "Yeah" !
For all who want to flash a O2 Cosmo!
Try this Link: Click
Thanks to the Uploader, found it by searching!
The last in line: "Unlock_phone_files.zip" !
Follow the steps in the text document!
Work fine for me!
But when you want to flash, and you get a connection ERROR, remove
the USB cabel, and put it back on your Dash, and run then only the
"ROMUpdateUtility.exe" again and it will work.
(Your srceen are allways WHITE!!!)
I had flash for 10min the "RUU_Excalibur_SPL-1.11_UpgradeOnly.exe"
You must extract the exe file, and copy the *.nbh file to folder 3!
After you run the "Auto.bat" and the Connection Error, click finish,
remove the USB cabel, put it back on the dash and run again and only
the "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" !
All work fine!
Thank you Developers!
Hi
I have recently update ROM from original one (date: 2005) to WM6.1
But, radio version is still very old one 1.04.02
I download new version 1.15.00; 1.17.00; 1.18.00 and 10.03.03
I relay don't now witch is the best (new one?) and haw to upgrade just radio!

I'm not experts with pocket PC either English is not my first language so its it much more harder for me find just few words how to in this massive lots of post.
Thanks.
Hello,
Here is guide to flash HTC Universal. Tested and used in Win XP.
Guide is from old version of xda-wiki.
Look for step 4.
Best Radio version for Me is 1.17.00
This works for when the Universal is in Bootloader and Windows Mobile.
1. First download the ROM you want to install.
2. Extract it to a folder (use winar or other extraction software).
3. There will be up to 3 ROMs in the package: ms_.nbf (Extended ROM), nk.nbf (OS ROM), radio_.nbf (Radio ROM)
4. Delete those which you don't want to install. (If you just want to upgrade the radio rom for instance delete ms_.nbf and nk.nbf and leave radio_.nbf.)
5. Download UniversalRUU.zip
6. Extract it and copy into that folder the nbf files you want to install.
7. Enter BootLoader mode by pressing and holding the power button and backlight button whilst performing a reset with the stylus.
8. Doubleclick ROMUpgradeUt.exe and follow the instructions
9. When the upgrade is finished pull out the USB cable from the Universal.
10. You will need to do a soft reset OR hard reset depending on the situation. (note: some say do a soft reset / others a hard reset .. possibly someone with more knowledge could correct me here, but until then it's best to investigate the matter for yourself on the forum.)
11. To do a hard reset (push the two menu buttons ("-") on the keyboard + the reset button at the same time (all of this three). Doing a hard reset will result in you losing all your installed apps and data so ensure you have a backup of everything first.) Everything should be fine from this time. You have to calibrate the screen and do some tutorial...
12. If after doing a hard reset you want your Universal not to install the extras from the Extended ROM wait untilsetup is complete and then do a softreset when the popup window appears (you have 3 seconds before it installs ExtendedROM)
Thanks)
That what I exactly needed
Tomorrow will be test day.
