Develop Bugs

Anybody figure out how to make a rom dump yet?

I still have the original English (Dutch region) rom on my MDA Pro. Before I upgrade it to Jasjar iMate rom I want to have an original rom dump, in case I have to use the warranty.
Either is there already am original MDA Pro English/Dutch rom somewhere out there (I can't find it) or is there a way to make an sd dump?

This should help!?

Yes but......
What is D2S????
Please could you explai step by step what we've got to do to backup entire ROM please?
I'm not a developer and there are a lot of answer from a lot of people about original ROM backup (expecially for MDA Pro)
Thank you very much
Lucam

Allright! Anybody try this yet? So if I understand correctly the
"d2s 70100000 04000000" (64.00 M OS TrueFFS) command will make the COMPLETE rom backup? Otherwise, if they are separate (ext rom, radio etc) I get more than 160 M.

Its there on the same page: Get into bootloader command mode and use d2s command with the appropriate key.

i understand... but
So, i've got to do:
1)- press light + power + reset
2)- enter password 'UNIVERSAL'
3)- type 'd2s 70100000 04000000'
4)- the MDA Pro start to copy ROM to ....? (SD card? or what?)
and what about Extended ROM backup?
Excuse me for my problem understanding the page you referred but could you write a step-by-step way to completely backup ROM (ROM + Extended ROM). Please? i'm sure it could help a lot of people.
Thank you very much!

No problem, but I want to try it out myself first before I can give you any answers. I am using my MDA Pro everyday so at the moment I have no time to experiment with it and I don't want to risk f**king it up.......
Maybe someone else here can give you your answers. I will try to make a rom dump this weekend. I'll let you know here..........

STEP-BY-STEP
I found some pages who describes how backup an original ROM (in case of MDA PRO) to have it in case you need warranty.
I use this indications to make a usefull "step-by-step" to do it (...and excuse for my poor english)
What you need:
MDA Pro ;-)
USB cable
PC
1 sd card or mmc card (at least 128MB)
MTTY.EXE (you can find it in internet but the version can use usb connection and not only COM connection)
NTRW.EXE (you can find it in internet.this file must to be copied on your pc on C:\ not in other folders)
If you have ActiveSync installed on your PC on ActiveSync connection settings uncheck USB connection
Before connecting your MDA you should bring it into the boot loader mode. This can be done by simultaneously pressing power + camera buttons and at the same time the soft reset button with the stylus.
The password to enter bootloader is UNIVERSAL
insert a BLANK sd-card
Link the usb cable
Run MTTY.EXE and select USB connection
After that a terminal window will popup in that window.
Type d2s and press enter. Your MDA will start copying the ROM to the sd card. The screen of your MDA will be dark (no light), but you will see it counting up to 100%. When it reaches 100% it will say it is calculating the checksum. Give it some time till its done and it will say checksum ok.
Please note that somebody refers that typing d2s nothing works. There are others command to type due to what you want to obtain.They are:
d2s 60000000 00800000 8M radio rom
d2s 70000000 00100000 1M SPL
d2s 70100000 04000000 64.00 M OS TrueFFS
d2s 74100000 00a00000 10.00 M extrom DSK2ART00 fatfsd
d2s 74b00000 02c40000 44.25 M root filesystem TRUEFFS
Somebody refers that the command 'd2s 70100000 04000000' is can be used to backup entire ROM so if d2s doesn't work please use 'd2s 70100000 04000000'.
After finishing the transfer of the German ROM from your MDA to the SD card, put your SD card into an SD card reader connected to your pc. Your pc might pop up a warning message that says your SD Card is not formatted would you like to format? Click No and open a Command prompt (DOS) window.
Change directory to your root directory (cd c:\) and run the command ntrw read German.nb1 x: where x is the drive letter of your sd card. That command will create the ROM Backup file of your German ROM into your C drive root directory by the name of German.nb1. Make sure you keep German.nb1 in a safe place and use a copy of that file for the rest of the procedure. Note that after finishing the copy from your SD card to German.nb1 file ntrw might give you an error, just don’t pay attention to it.
Please confirm it or give me indication if I wrong giving this indication.

To dump rom from your MDA pro need to enter:
1) d2s 70000000 00100000 <-- bootloader
2) d2s 70100000 04000000 <-- Operation System
3) d2s 74100000 00a00000 <-- Extended ROM

what is necessary?
Ok but isn't it necessary only to backup Operating System and Extended Rom to re-stabilish in future the MDA Pro as just bought?
Bye

Ok, I have been trying everything I could with the directions of ciapal, but no succes.....
btw: The correct button press sequence for bootloader is: Light-power-reset and NOT camera/p/rs
I get the following command sequence:
password UNIVERSAL
HTCSPass.<YHTCEUSB>d2s
Not allow operation!
password UNIVERSAL
HTCSPass.<YHTCEUSB>d2s 70100000 04000000
Not allow operation!
USB>
(the square is a vertical)
Anyone any constructive ideas about this issue? I'm surprised that obviously nobody has created a rom image from their Universal yet! :shock:

I get the same thing with MDA Pro... I am really keen to try the ROM upgrade but really want a backup of the original ROM first!!
Any ideas what is going wrong?

Buzz did it again- I think. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=190925#190925
He managed to dump the rom of the Universal device. It would be great if someone could dump his original T-mobile Rom, this in case of repair.

hi
something must be wrong as when i enter the rom dump commands (tried all of them) nothing happens... the task 32 and info 7 etc work as described though

d2s on QTEK 9000 French Version bought without any provider
I have the same problem,
On mtty, password seems OK, info or task 32 give the same output but d2s return each time Not allow operation....
What does it mean ? Is there any kind of unlocking procedure to do on a device bought directly without any provider subscription ?
Should I stop extended rom installation programs with a soft reset just after a hard reset to access to this command ?
Any help are welcome...
Ecze

When I type d2s mtty says "not allow operation".
I connected my Universal via USB cable typed "d2s" in the window of mtty. When I pressed enter, mtty said "not allow operation". I read at http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=30109&highlight= that there is password for entering bootloader. Where should I enter this password?

JasJar Italian

Hi,
I made the mistake to buy JasJar in Italian and now I'm late for all upgrades. There's the possibility to change language into English?
Thanks
Stefano

sure ... try the new qtek 9000 rom

I've tried
Hi, I've tried with WWE Rom but installing I get an error due the different language.
Thanks for help me.

By the way....
.... I've not qtek but Imate JASJAR.
Thanks

here you have a step by step
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=29354&highlight=

I'm unable
Hi I've done:
1. get the JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301
1a. get the exe from the zip file - if needed
1b. unzip the exe file to a directory
1c. place the enclosed file MaUpgradeUt_noID in the directory
1d. run the upgrade
At this time I recieve a message that says me:
ERROR 120: CONTRY ID ERROR
The ROM inage that you're trying to use is not designed to work on your device. Please check the vender Web site and download the correct ROM update.
What I can do?
Thanks

run again the
MaUpgradeUt_noID for the upgrade

I'm sorry to disturb you but I?m not able. I've tried to run MaUpgradeUt_noID but appear a message saying me that is not possible run the selected application as RUU.dll was not found.
I've copied MaUpgradeUt_noID in the same directory of the ROM file. Is that right??
Thanks and sorry.

May be the problem is:
1b. unzip the exe file to a directory
Is posible to unzip to a directory? I run the .exe file and I see that file decompress but I don't know where.
The problem is that I put MaUpgradeUt_noID in the .exe directory and due to that I have error message.
is there a program that unzip an exe file?
Thanks

Download winrar. Right click on the file and select "extract to...."
Can you please backup the content of the "windows" directory before upgrading? It should contain all the certified .mui files for the italian localization already signed and ready to work in the wm5 jasjar environment. Then put a zip file in the upload area of this forum. I would like to experiment a little bit with the italian localization.... 8)

I just performed the upgrade without any glitch.
Now I have the last english.ROM
Now the only problem is that special symbols on the keyboard are wrong.
I'm sure there is a registry hack that switches the keyboard back to my italian keyboard (I have an italian JasJar).
Do you know what key should I change and what value should I put there?
Thanks a lot,
Francesco

Was not possible to copy
Dear Topogigi,
Thanks for the suggestion about winrar. Now is OK.
I was not able to copy the windows directory as I get some error copying. Sorry.
Ciao

DONE!!!
Dear all, I got it!!! THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
Now I've a small problem: Keyboard. Italian KB has differente layout than WWE. There's way to solve this problem? For example, @ is FN+Q and in WWE is FN+2...
Thanks for all!!

Flash A639 ROM language from English to Simplified Chinese

sasovics said:
OK folks I DIT IT FINALLY!
Use the patched "Upgrade Tool.exe" (attached)
Then download both WWE version WM6 ROM and your current language WM6 ROM (mine was Czech so I dowloaded CSY).
Use a HEX editor and copy the ROM header (range: 00000h - 10000h) from your current lang. ROM and paste (overwrite the header - same range) in WWE ROM. Uplolad the modified ROM onto your SD card along with patched Upgrade Tool and update.dat (this was unchanged) and begin update.
My PDA was Czech and now is English!!! Everything's working like a charm!
Please note, my upgrade was successful, but if you want to try this method, do it on your own risk! I will not take any responsibility in case you damage your device!
Cheers,

Try this.
Put it in your MiniSD card and execute it.
If it work, flash WWE version then.
vivi
PS. Not my work.I don't know who create this.

i must use an empty mini sd right ?
how do i flash WWE ?sorry i am not experienced in this field and even shops in my town do not provide such a service. I called Asus Malaysia, they are not helpful at all. I even asked if i could go to their service centre and pay for the service, they said no.
what is the worse that could happen if something goes wrong ?

i have run it in my asus p535 ...
it says ROM language ID: 404 (i think it is 404 too fast u couldn't see), now unlocking....
after that noting came out...
i try executing it again ....now it says my ROM language ID:0 , but my ROM is still HK00 , changing it to WWE MY00 is difficult, different region, different language.
does this mean it worked ? how do i continue ? thanks so much

Do you have a *.cap file (official Firmware)? If so, do the following
Download this.
Run "P535RomTool.exe -d6 AsusP535.cap" on command line.
Note 1: AsusP535.cap has to be in the same dir as P535RomTool.exe.
Note 2: If your file has another name, take the right one!
Copy the resulting GalaxyII.nb0 file to a clean SD Card.
Run ASUS.UnlockLangId.exe on your p535.
Perform power+photo+record+reset
Enjoy!
