Can somebody give me a step by step guide on upgrading ROM of my T-Mobile XDA1. There's too much information here and I can't get to a step by step guide. Kinda worried coz I just got hold of my XDA 1 (T-Mobile edition), I'm a palm user before.
This is my Device's Information
ROM version: 3.14.40ENG
ROM date: 11/26/02
Radio version: 6.18
Protocol version: 324e4
Pocket PC Version 3.0.12039 (Build 11178) (Don't know if this is 2002 or 2003 pocketpc)
I want to unlock the device that's why I'm upgrading. I will be using the yorch.net ROM (http://kitchen.romanweb.com/kitchen/index.php) in EXE file. How will I upgrade?
I already downloaded the ROM from yorch.net selecting
3.17.03 ENG O2-Euro (6656 kB available)
and
XDA-developers AutoConfig data (113 kB)
How do I upgrade my ROM? Somebody said that I have to sync my device (usb cradle with power connected) and after synching run the exe file on my desktop computer. Is this method fail proof? Will it not damage my device if ever there was an interruption or something? How can I make sure that I can go fail-proof? I don't have an SD card so I downloaded the EXE file rom update from yorch.
Should I remove the simcard while I update the ROM? What other things should I remove from my device? Can you give me pointers? Id really appreciate it.
Thanks
Also, I've downloaded the exe file from yorch.net (http://kitchen.romanweb.com/kitchen/index.php) and its size is only 150KB? I thought rom upgrade file are like 15MB? I'm really confused.
I just want to get it unlocked. I'll be using it in the Phils(GSM900/1800) and US (from time to time)
it's still 150 kb. Here's what it says when I view the log
./mkrom.sh: ../../kitchen.local/mkrom-inc.sh: No such file or directoryno files for configid 26220739Cannot fit files in given sectionsError splitting files
If you want to get A.30.09 ENG

I am still working on it ... But , probably , you can get what you need .
Sprint,
Will this method unlock my device? Just want it to be unlocked. And I don't have SD card
Do you have SD card in your phone ?
Intresting ! I am on T-Mobil network and I am using AT&T ROM .
So :lol: What is the question about locking and unlocking ?
:?: Do you have SD card in your phone ?
Hey
Can I use an MMC card for flashing? I MIGHT be able to borrow an MMC card. Also, I dont have a card reader but I have a digital camera which I can use to transfer the ROM image from my desktop computer to the card. Would you think it would work? Thanks again.
Hello
As I know you cannot use MMS card ... But :?
Probably my info is to old :shock:
Oh that sucks guess I have to do it the hard way (EXE file). Wish there is a fail-safe way of doing the upgrade. Im' kinda worried to damage my device, just got hold of it. I just want it to be unlocked.
will the exe file below work for me?
http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe
and

Pls reply. thanks
if all you want is to make it unlocked then getting the
seriel sync cable and using the program on this site
is alot easier then you dont have to worry about ending up
with a door stop
Rudegar, can you give me the link for serial unlocking? A step by ste p guide maybe? I'll just search for some1 who has a serial cable here in the philippines. thanks

Cannot Downgrade to 2003SE - SX66
I own a SX66 Cingulair (USA) and I recently upgraded the ROM to WM5 but now having a lot of problems with it. I need to downgrade it back to 2003. I followed all the instructions in the link given in one of the posts above but the program MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe does not recognize my existing ROM or the new one and no update happens.
Can anyone help me please.

exactly the same here with SX66, but where did you get your ROM?
I also tried to apply SX66Upgrade.exe program which seems like WM2003SE installer, but this program says it cannot connect to device. I also was able to get nk.nbf from the temp folder and tried to run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe with this one, but it goes to the final screen without actually reflashing PDA. PDA still has WM5 installed.
I made a backup copy of my previous Win2003SE ROM to a SD card and restored it now from file back to SD card, but cannot find the way how to initiate ROM restore from SD card. I've read instructions saying: Insert SD card, put PDA into bootloader mode, select to restore from SD card, but in my case I just see "Serial 2.07" after going into bootloader mode and nothing else.
Found a way to Downgrade
Hi all:
After so much testing in frustration I moved the new ROM file to PH20B folder in the WM5_pack_V3 folder and ran the program BaUpgradeUt.exe. Now I know for SX66 which is a PH20B1 device we are supposed to use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe in PH20B1 folder according the the downgrade link (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Downgrade_WM5)
I got the ROM from (http://sx66-blueangel.home.comcast.net/) which is version 1.40 and I am very happy with it. Before upgrading to WM5 I have unlocked this device using the unlocker program some where on this forum and I am not sure whether it has anything to do with MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe not working.

i have a similar problem with a dead O2 XDA Zinc...where do i get the abi file or can i make one from the wm6 upgrade file (Xda_Zinc_RM3070712_WWE_ExtV2.8.0.exe) that i download from the official website
the abi file can be found inside the exe but i dunno how can u extract it since if u use any extractor it will not give u the abi file ... also if u hv the raw rom & want to extract the rom also u will hv difficulty in extracting it
that is the problem that i am facing now
you can extract abi file from Xda_Zinc_RM3070712_WWE_ExtV2.8.0.exe by
1. connect o2 zinc with usb
2. flash your o2 zinc by exe file
3. when complete flash don't push finish button
4. select to view hidden files in folder that you put exe file
5. finally you will see marsii_g4.abi
goodluck & sorry my bad english

reset meaning soft or hard reset?
hard reset or soft reset both does not do any good to remove the error message "unble to open the registry key" and to just reload the orginal applications and remove the others
ehmmm ... sad to say maybe u hv to flash the rom
how do i flash the rom?
download the official rom from seeo2 and then make sure ur dev is fully charged ... sync it wz ur pc using active sync then execute the rom (.exe file u hv downloaded)
good luck
Hi guys,
I've already upgraded to WM6 for my Zinc, but I'd like to have an original ROM in case I need to flash back when something's wrong. I checked seeo2 but I can't find it.
Pls tell me where I can find this original ROM (WWE) ???
Thanks

You mean the WM5 ROM on seeo2? It's still an upgrade ROM, not the original that comes along with the device at the beginning.
Anyway, I'm a newbie so please advice how to 'downgrade' from WM6 to WM5? Is this similar to the process upgrading from WM5 to WM6 (you just sync the device with PC, run the .exe file on the PC and let it go)?
If it's not, please kindly give me detail instruction
Many thanks
HI everybody
Like other people on this forum, i'm a linux user
I'm working under Ubuntu Hardy Heron. It's impossible to run any RUU under this system using WINE ( Software than give the possibility to run windows apps under linux ) because it need an active sync connection witch also don't work.
So my request is the following: Can we have a ROM Update utility for our cheer Penguin ?
Big thanks to all developers that works so hard for our community
you and me both: i'm on Linux Mint 5, though
i don't think it's a problem of the people on here: i say it's microsoft's refusing to release drivers for activesync...
There have been attempts made, but i don't know if any of them are going to work with these newer devices... Try googling SynCE...
Hello penguin's friend
SynCE is hard to configure...
But the question is not about synchro, but for ROM updating.
Okay Microsoft is radin... But for upgrading we only need an USB connection for data transfer through the hard SPL.
Activesync is only necessary to retrieve informations from the PDA during an update procedure ( Rom version for example ).
But the flashing procedure doesn't require it ! the prove: when we lunch this procedure the active sync connection stops and the SPL appears on the PDA's screen.
Here is my idea to make it possible under Linux : Run manually SPL on the PDA, and start flashing directly (with USB connection only).
In fact, we only need a ROM Update Utility that pass-through device information retrieving step ( is it really important? ). May be it can works.
All of this could run with wine. But I still think that a native linux RUU is the best way to explore.
There still exist a linux RUU update program (I don't remeber where, but if you make a search into this forum you can find it).
The matter is another one...our diamond don't use the common way to establish a connection with the laptoop ( /ttyUSB0) and so, till now, it's impossible to update...we have to find a workaround for this issues...
I don't understand...
It's the SPL that give necessary connection (usb/serial). Is the problem from it ?
Exactly
Take a look: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410302
By searching, i found a solution by flashing from a SD card with a special SPL.
Its solution was developed for ARTHEMIS PDA here : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_SD_Card_Flashing
Do you think this SPL could work on our diamond ( we don't have SD Card but internal storage ).
I'm afraid to try it. My be it can crash my device permanently ...

GREAT ! i go take a look
Sers,
for Linux, HTC Flasher from the link in previous post is what you need.
It's working well for much HTC devices but Diamond still got some connection issues. It doesn't get attached to any serial port in SPL Mode, so flashing via Linux seems impossible.
Even flashing throught Virtualbox doesn't work because it's impossible to attach the device to the VM.
Maybe you're gonna find a solution, let's hope.

There you're wrong.

In this thread a guy manage to flash Diamond via USB.
OK I have the solution !
It's very simple and don't need any computer!
BE CAREFUL BEFORE STARTING TO HAVE GOOD BATTERY !!!
Install Olinex hard SPL
Connect your PDA to linux in USB Disk mode
Simply copy your .nbh file into internal memory in root folder. rename it to DIAMIMG.NBH
Reset your device with pressing volume down and right key.
You will enter in Olinex SPL flash mode. Wait two seconds and it will ask you if you want to flash from DIAMIMG.nbh !!!
Thanks everybody for your help.
I think this solution is the more simple !
Congrats! Nice find!
This will make things much easyer for many ppl!
regards
demacus
it's much faster than trought async... always used this trick, the only thing to REALLY pay attention to have at least 40/50% of battery
All Right !
Is the file still there afterwards?
Nice find.
Possible to choose from more files?

Well.....The file need that specific name.
You CAN transfer other files and name them, but you wont get a "menu" for choosing.
Just turn to your friend, and use his computer that runs Windows.

As newbie on this, anyone please guide me step by step to upgrade my P3300 rom with nbh file. My device is unlock already with current ROM 5.2.1908 (build 18125.0.4.2).
The procedure is given in almost every thread. It's simple really. Is your SPL version anything other than 1.11.0000 or 1.11.cmon? If yes then your phone is not unlocked. Unlock your phone by running USPL from here or the updated USPL from here.
Check if the USPL has worked by checking your SPL number. During phone booting at the white HTC screen your SPL should show either 1.11.0000 ir 1.11.cmon.
If it does you are free to flash any ROM. Get the ROM of your choice, put your phone into bootloader mode by pressing the voice record, power key and reset button simultaenously for about 5 seconds till you see a three colored screen. Attach it with USB and flash the rom using RUU.
thanks randythered for ur reply. I did w/o problem on USPL but how to use the nbh extention? where that nbh file I shall put in? pc or devise or on specific folder? I got the three colors already, then what next? pl. enlighted

do u have only .nbh file or along with .nbh file any other files are there ?
generally along with the .nbh file there are other files like romupdateutuility.exe etc.,
download those files also and save those files into your PC.
after unlocking your device then staup the device with bootloader mode (three color screen)
connect the Device with the PC by USB cable.
in the device display u will a word USB (left bottom corner)
run the Romupdateutility from the PC...
the process will guide u next steps ...
after the completion u will have new OS
Last I would recommend tht u also upgrade you Radio ROM (this is responsible for all the communication functions of ur phone i.e. calls, GPS, WiFi etc) which will enhance the communication capabilities.
Radio ROMs Link : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index..._RadioUpgrades.
Note : before flashing any ROM or upgrading the RADIO kindly CID unlock your device or you will end up the with bricked device .
You can download my ROMs, they come with the full package

after remember operation will take 10 minutes
it displays
"Error [270]: UPDATE ERROR

As sixthsigma said, did you check if the phone is correctly unlocked? Is the SPL showing 1.11.0000 or 1.11.cmon?
Secondly, what OS are you flashing on? XP, Vista or Windows 7?
Hi Randythered, IPL 1.25.0001 and SPL 1.27.0000
I am using your ROM RtR Manila v1.0
using XP
Well, firstly thank you for wanting to try out my ROM
Secondly, you haven't unlocked your phone properly yet. The SPL must be 1.11.0000 or1.11.cmon, depending on which USPL you use.
strange... hv tried several time but w/o luck...
now I notice that it cut out after '70' and jump into 100 with disconnecting
any choices of other USPL instead of the one attached here?
Did you flash the old USPL or the new one which is nosize? It is preferable to install the old one first. And then go for the cmon nosize USPL if need be.
From a noob to a noob
Hi, heres the procedure for upgrading your rom put as noob friendly as i can put it.
WHAT YOU NEED
1. HTC Artemis p3300
2. computer running Windows XP with activesync installed
3. Usb cable to connect to computer
4. The new rom that you want to flash
5. And USPL which can be downloaded at this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
NB: For most of the newer roms you will probably need the updated nosize version of uspl http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521406
PREPARATION
NB: Anything you need to backup or keep from your device do it now.
NB: in some cases you may have to hard reset your device before it will take the flash
1. Extract Uspl to your desktop
2. Extract the rom you downloaded to your desktop
3. Remove your sim chip and memory card from your device
4. Reset your device and sync with windows xp
UPDATING
1. In the USPL folder run the program called "start_uspl" and let it do its thing in the dos window,in
my case it goes to 70 and then jumps to 100,if you have been watching your device screen you will
see the linux penguin for a few seconds and it will change to a white screen.
A window will popup on your computer, do as it requests, when finished it will reset your device.
Sync your device with your computer again.
2. In your downloaded rom folder you should find a file called "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" or "Ruu.exe", run
it and a window will popup, do as it requests.
Your device screen will go tri-color(red,green,blue) and the rom update will begin, wait till it
finishes and thats it.
thanks soloman1 and others
finally I got it with removing the sim card and memory card prior to upgrading

Sixthsigma...you said - "unlock the device properly with USPL..." - how do I do that?
I got the same error as mentioned when trying to flash using the numb3rs ROM:
http://thewingster.com/numb3rs.aspx
I ran the herald-uspl.exe file. and ended up with teh above error. My TMo Wing has the original ROM on it and the phone itself is probably unlocked. Ive had it for a year now. Do I need to call TMo to unlock or is there some app I can run to do this myself?
appreciate any help!
nevermind, it worked ok on the second attempt!
