Sure, choose the Image file type. Don't use automatic detection...
this is a known issue of er2003edit. you can find the answer by browsing here a little bit around. but i'am going to tell you ;-)
when opening ms_.nbf the file type is set to "WM2003 Auto-Detect ROM (*.nbf). every time you leave this and open one of the *.nbf's you will get an error accessing the files even when your password is correct. all you have to do is change the file type to "WM2003 Extended ROM (ms_.nbf)" or to any of the other two options and you will no longer get that error.

For the 1.72 i use this password for ms_.nbf
password= 0x20040305

Use this EXEs if you want to disable/enable touches on display when you are doing hard-reset... Look at config.txt, there should be to rows:
EXEC:\\Extended_ROM\TPdisable.exe
...
EXEC:\\Extended_ROM\TPenable.exe
I know this post probably deserves to be submitted to XDA-Developers.com however I was wondering whether any of you seasoned ROM Updaters out there can help. Essentially I seem to be having trouble going from a ENG ROM to WWE ROM. I still cannot understan why this is so difficult when really it should be a doddle to overwrite a ROM.
The details of my MDA are as follows:
Model No: PH20B
Minor: 0 B
Language Code: ENG
Minor: G
Operator Code: T-MOB005
ROM Version: 1.06.00
Minor: 0 0
Extended ROM Version: 1.06.160
Radio Version: 1.00.00
Minor: 00.00
I’ve downloaded the complete shipped ROM - I-Mate_PDA2k_WWE_14000_176_11200_SHIP
According other users, this is the collection of updates (excluding Bluetooth Protocol Stack) that have successfully been applied to other MDA's of the same network. The problem I seem to be having is the Country_ID issue (ENG -> WWE). I am assuming that others had this problem too and must have found a way around it. I have checked many threads on the XDA-Developers forums however I am still at a loss as to what to do about it. My attempts are as follows:
1. Extracted contents of I-Mate_PDA2k_WWE_14000_176_11200_SHIP
2. Ran BaUpgradeUt.exe
3. Country_ID error appeared immediately
4. Added [CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1 to end of RUU.conf file
5. Re-ran BaUpgradeUt.exe
6. Went further, however Country_ID error appeared when in BootLoader screen
7. Exited BaUpgradeUt.exe
8. Re-ran BaUpgradeUt.exe
9. Same problem again – Country_ID
10. Downloaded xda3nbftool.exe and EditFix.bat
11. Added details of existing ROM to EditFix.bat
12. Ran EditFix.bat
13. Received errors about “This does not look like a nbf header, you may have supplied the wrong password”
14. Tried BaUpgradeUt.exe for the hell of it (NBF files reported as corrupt – figures)
15. Downloaded and tried MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe instead, same result – bloody Country_ID error!!!!
As you can see, I have tried every method suggested by the forums but I still cannot get around the Country_ID issue. I know this ROM will work! It’s just a matter of getting past the silly safety measures that prevent me using this ROM.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions anyone may have, being as experienced as you are.
Thanks for anything you can offer
Mark
P.S. If I do bugger it up, I’ve got the shipped ROM of my phone to refer back to - TMobile_UK_MDAIII_10600_160_10000_SHIP
Hi all,
let me start telling that reading through this frum gives me the feeling that this is a very nice place for information around htc-devices and I thank both creators and users of this site for such a good information-base.
Reading here convinces me that I am able to fulfill my wish to change the language of my VPA-IV (HTC Universal).
I am a Dutch person working in Russia. As I was living in Germany I optained the device there, hence the German language.
For me personally all computer stuff should be English, so I'd also like this device to be so. The fact that the keyboard is German does not disturb me too much.
As a Vodafone user, who has other provider cards as well, I immediately bought the unlock code, so the device is working with other GSM cards as well.
When I asked Vodafone (before I bought the device) if I could switch to English I was told that I should buy myself another Windows Software and they were not able to provide me with it. They were not able to provide any help, nor software for this purpose though.
When reading around the site here (as well as the ftp) I understood that Windows is not provided now. So my first question would be :
-Am I really set to go if I have downloaded the following files :
Jasjar_WWW_11353_137_10301.zip
MaUpgradeUt_noID.zip
Universal_Radinly_UPgrade_1.04.02.zip
Or do I need something more ?
Further I read about extracting the .exe file (f.e. Jasjar_WWW_11353_137_10301.exe) and put some files from there at certain places. I have WinRar but this program does not recognize the .exe file. Can I really extract files from this .exe ? How do I do this.
A lot of talking is here about a bootloader. If the device is in this stage, can I still access it ? (f.e. like seeing a harddrive in my PC's Windows Explorer or something the like)
As I will be stressed like hell (who does not, when he does this first time) when I see the bootloader screen, is there something I SHOULD or should NOT do to make sure all will be OK ?
Last but certainly not least I feel very eager to backup before I do this. Is there a posibility to backup my ROM in some way, save the files on some place for eventual return to the ROM and ExtRom I have now ?
I tried the Program TotalCommander. If I enter the Extended_Rom in the "directory" field of this program I see all files included in the Extended_Rom, same if I enter simply "Rom". Is a backup simply copying these files to my PC or is there more to be done ?
thanks for answering in advance,
Ruud
Hi,
I'm searching a german ROM...
if you have a little of your time to spend on it, i would be very thankful.
but first:
- about extracting the .exe files: Run WinRAR -> Menue: Open file... -> change 'All archives' to 'All files'
- about ROMs: Jasjar_WWW_11353_137_10301.zip is the only rom I would update, not the Radio.
- about bootloader: In this state you can't access your device (only updating the ROM)
- about backup: It is not easy. (How to d2s (dump) the ROM ) but I think Vodafone will shortly relase a update. So it will be possible to restor the device.
How to help me out:
- you will need a Storage Card.
- Download TestWM5.rar
1. Extract TestWM5.exe from TestWM5.rar and place it to you device.
2. At the device, use File Explorer to execute the TestWM5.exe
3. Click "button1" to start the dump process, the file will then be save to \Storage Card\Dump\
4. Copy the Dump folder out and then RAR or Zip it
This will include all files in your windows dictionary -> this is what i need
Where to place exactly ?
Hi bepe,
do not know if You are still available (or again). First your issue.
I logon to FTP from XDA-developers as to upload.
In the upload directory there is only a HTC-Wizard directory, not a wizard. Is this directory the one to place your file on ?
Is there a rule how to name the file ?
I will be dumping in a minute, can upload as soon as I have your answer.
Ruud
Hi bepe,
further to your issue.
1) I do understand that no private information is copied ? or should I do a hard reset before I dump for You ?
2) Whilst running your testwm5.exe from the root-directory of the storage-card I am being asked to agree your program access. This is normal, I allow. But why are there additional programs being opened I never heard about ? I denied them access and let the program run further !
After a lot of files running through the screen (very fast) it looks like the program stopped or finished. Now which file has been created for You ?
Explorer on the Universal does not show it, through my PC I looked as well, but do not see any big file, please explain.
Ruud
Hi Bepe,
one more reply to You :
Even if I allow the file mentioned to run (during the time your program is running), I am being asked again and again if I allow it again. The name is GAC_System.Data_v1_0_5000_0_cneutral_1.dll
Even if allow access all of the occasions I being asked, no file is being created on my storage-card, nothing to dump to You. Not even the dump directory is made.
What do I do wrong here ?
To my issue :
First I noticed that the radio update is available here only as 1.04.02
My system tells me I have 1.04.10 delivered from origin. If I do a ROM-upgrade, do I loose my "radio", or will it not be touched ?
Connected to this, can I dump my "radio"-files seperately ?
WinRAR. Issue solved !
Backup : I was at the buzzdev.net link before. But I actually do not even understand where I can get or see the task32 language he dumped on his screen. And I understand that I will not be able to restore it without help anyway. So this is not really the kind of backup I want.
The information about Vodafone, where does it come from ? when is something expected ?
Ruud
For security sake only.
I am getting nearer to make that final step ;-)
My Winrar was too old, I could unzip the .zip file to a .exex, but I could not unzip the .exe file further. Just downloaded the latest Winrar, now I can see all files included in the provided .exe file.
1) I understood that I should delete the original upgrade-file called ROMUpgradeUt.exe.
2) When I start the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe in a seperate directory with the rest of the files from the .exe I get to see a different HTC device. When I continue, it will not recognize any of the versions from my Universal. I felt unconfortable to continue.
Can it be done without a problem ??
2a) I renamed the ms_.nbf AND radio_.nbf and restart the Utility, it still shows a photo of the wrong device, but it now does recognize the versions of Device CD image version : 1.13.56 Device Extended image version : 1.13.163 and Device Radio image version : 1.04.10
It confirms to change to CD image version 1.13.53 and leaves the extended image version : "empty" as well as the Radio image version : "empty"
Does this mean that by taking away the ms_.nbf and radio_.nbf files I can stop the device from upgrading the extended rom and the radio ?
Why I ask ? Because if I renamed ms_.nbf back and ONLY radio_.nbf is unavailable now, it shows to change the Extended Rom too, but the Radio image is still empty.
Finally if I rename ALL back, it shows to change all, but all version numbers are older once ;-(
Main question here is, can I leave radio_.nbf away, upgrade and hope for radio to be my version 1.04.10 ?
Ruud
Hi,
I'm back.
I'll PM you Upload information...
private information are not copied.
Only if you have saved private information in your /windows/ folder!
i have never being asked to agree for program access :?
...but I started it of the root-directory of my device.
what is the name of your 'Storage Card' folder?
I not realy have the info from Vodafone, but for all devices before there have been more than one update. But I can't tell when the first update is expected.
If you are trying to make a backup: you will need a terminal program
About dumping
So I have a complete "new" device now.
Did a hard-reset, after which I did not give any new information to the device.
I placed the .exe file You gave me in the \windows\startmenue before, after which it is asking tonloads of access requests.
Now I replaced it in the root-directorym Yes, no additional questions asked anymore, perfect, well NO. As there is no directory made on the storage card. I tried it once with the async active and once with the device seperate. No result.
Any ideas ?
what is the name of your 'Storage Card' folder in your root?
As the device is German, it is called "Speicherkarte"
and renaming is not possible (allowed)
OK this is the problem, I'm trying to get the Source code to change that.
found something: this tool will change the folder name from different languages to "Storage card" which is often needed for different tools
Understood.
About my question, as I am still nervously waiting (cannot start the upgrade before You got your data, can I ;-)
Did I understand correctly, that the file MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe is made for different devices from HTC and therefore I do not get a photo of the universal when I start the software ?
If I start the JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301.exe I DO get to see the Universal, but of course get the country error.
Did I also correctly understood I can take away the radio_.nbf from the directory and the update will handle both ROM and ExtROM but leave the Radio untouched ?
Will I be entering this "bootloader" status at all, as I do not need any further updates then ? Are there any resets after the upgrade which I SHOULD or SHOULD NOT make to get the device working again ?
Ruud
Hi bebe,
storage.cab works (be it only after a soft-reset)
The program testwm5.exe is much slower now, so the result is taking minutes now (if not tens of).
Looks like the perfect speed of the program while the storage card (at least for his eyes) was absent, was due to "saving into space"
Will upload asap.
Ruud
I'm loading JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301.exe its at 60%
MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe is a hacked version, of another device.
So the photo should not be important. (Please wait until i have downladed the file, I'm not realy sure jet...)
OK, I have to wait anyway, because TestWM5 is very slow now, I can see file after file and calmly read it. Before it was running before my eyes. I am afraid this is going to take ages.
We are on the same frequency that the dump I am making is from a device WITH Extended Rom installed. I was NOT soft-resetting during installation, so all Vodafone add-ons, are to be there now.
If You need the one without ExtRom as well, please tell me.
The upload works OK, I prepared a directory there, but uploading is to be done after longer waiting time.
Are You afraid the JASJAR file is not good ? I downloaded it because this one was proposed on this forum.
Ruud
Its not about the ROM its about the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe I'm not sure if ths is the exe file to update a Universal.
I dont have a Universal only a Himalaya and my up UpgradeUt starts with HimUpgradeUt... .
Was this file mentioned in the readme of the JASJAR exe?
my download is very slow... 70%
I only downloaded MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe because it was proposed here (for the Universal).
I have no Readme.txt inside the exe
EnterBL.exe
GetDeviceData.exe
ms_.nbf
nk.nbf
radio_.nbf
RUU.conf
RUU.dll
UI.dll
Well and of course the original upgrade file ROMUpgadeUt.exe, but I was suppose to delete it.
Only file which I can read is RUU.conf :
[PLATFORM]=857873
[RADIO_TYPE]=2
[SECURITY_FLAG]=1
[DECODER_KEY]=1
[RADIO_FLAG]=2
[GETADDR_TYPE]=1
[JUMPCODE_TYPE]=1
[FORMAT_TYPE]=2
[SCREEN_TYPE]=2
OK, TestWM5 is finally ready, will do compressing and uploading soon.

I would liketo update everything to the latest if possible.

First of all know this before starting, upgrading might risk you to loose the warrenty depending on what terms of rules you are under in your contry and the distributer etc.
But i used this file JASJAR_WWE_13076_164_10900_wwe_ship Together with the NoID file found in the BlueAngel/Tools/ folder file name is MaUpgradeUt_noID.zip .
What you do is to extract the files from the rom to a folder using whatever unpacking program you have. i use winrar. And then you have to take the files from one of the 2 folders and put into the other folder so you end up with all the files together. should have these files in the folder together..
EnterBL.exe
GetDeviceData.exe
MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
ms_.nbf
nk.nbf
radio_.nbf
readme.doc
ROMUpgradeUt.exe
RUU.conf
RUU.dll
UI.dll
the noid exe is taken from the file from the blueangel folder.
Now you run the noid exe to upgrade your Qtek. Should it still say wrong country id or something when you run the installment look at the Qtek it should have shut off the light and in the background something like USB or Seriel connection should be written in black text.
In any case when the installment writes the error message close the installment and just run the noid file once more, then it should start upgrading.
As for this if you get other troubles during installment i can give you a nice advice to use the search function and restrict the search to the universal forum
Happy upgrading.

I just would like to add one thing to his instructions so you won't get any ERRORS upon upgrading.
You have to put your Universal on Boot Loader Mode by pressing all of the following at the same time: Power ON/OFF button, Backlight button, and Reset Pin. You will notice your screen will show "v 1.0" with no backlight. Do not be alarmed, this is the boot loader mode. Now you can run the Ma_No ID Upgrade file from his instruction from above.
Thank You for the help, I did it in bootloader mode and the upgrade went really smooth, no problems at all!!!
Thanks again.

I also have the O2 XDA Exec. WELCOME again.
YES, if you change the ROM, it will take the name and boot splash screen of whoever released it. There is a way to modify the boot splash screen, but I don't know how 'cause didn't try it. I kind'a like having different splash screen depending on which ROM I am using.
Hi
Newbie to all this tweaking of mobiles, but learning quickly.
Am currently trying to change the Vodafone startup image for one I have created.
Have followed instructions on the site to create a *.NB file but when trying to create the *.NBH the htcrt.exe has not got the diamond in the device list.
Also tried using the NBHUtil.exe with the same problem.
Can create the *.NBH file (using the Kaiser settings - Obviously it's the wrong device), but cannot flash due to wrong device, error [244] Invalid device.
Read something about adding Diamond info to the xml file but have not a clue what information I need to enter into this file.
Anyone been successful in changing their boot pics on this device?
Any help, much appreciated.
do a search for a thread, created by me. i've asked the question before and a solution has been provided hope this helps
Try using this version of NBHUTIL its later than the one in the thread regarding creation. I have already email the originator of that threard to include this version.
