HOW TO: Rom Upgrade - Universal / XDA Exec

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!
There is only one thing, step 4, it is not USB but Serial.

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
so it should be ok.
Am i wrong? Is there a way to get rid of that message?

Hi I have a Xda Exec
ROM: 1.13.82 WWE
Rom date 11/30/05
Radio 1.04.02
Protocol 42.37.P8
Ext Rom 1.13.188WWE
And when i do this:
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).
The devide says me:
Boot options:
Enable KITL
Clean registry hive
Format storage
I soupouse that it isn´t the boot loader for go on with the proces... what happens?
I want to upgrade to UNI_QTEK_13077_176_10900_WWE_Ship.exe for use my heasphones motorola stereo... (AD2P..)
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

T-Mobile Dash rom on a HTC 620 it's possible?

Hi boys
I have a question for you..
Can I load the T-Mobile Dash Rom on my HTC S620Pro unlocked?
I love the T-Mobile Dash Home screen theme and i f it's possible I want run it on my HTC S620 Excabilur
Thank you in advance for the answer

Yep but you might need to CID unlock (obtain SuperCID) which costs £20 ($39). If you just want the home screen just ask someone for it and copy it on. I would post it but I currently have the WM6 Dash ROM on my S620 and it probably doesn't have the home screen you mention.

I was wondering if anyone could help me.I have a HTCs620 and I am trying to flash it with the T-Mobile WM6 Rom.I have had the unit CID unlocked with IMEI Check and still I get the invalid model ID (something like that)I read something about upgrading the bootloader but where do I find this file for the HTC Excalibur......Any other suggestions since I have tried evereything else............

hope this helps

please post after a reply if its ok !!!1

There are different versions of Excalibur EXCA2xxx and ECXA1xxx
You could write an email to imeicheck and they will give you this solution regarding the invalid vendor id:
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.

Hello,
Thanks for the great guide.When I get to the part to look for the bsa file in the hex editor program I cant seem to find it.Also, when I save the hex editied files do I save them to the folder were I extracted the Rom.I tried to run the utility without editing the bsa file (because I could not find it) and when I tried running it after pulling the usb cord it gave me the error message Invalid Update Tool.Do you know of anyone who can edit the T-Mobile WM6 Rom for me even if I have to pay for it.....
One last question...the rom I am supposed to edit with hex editor is it the new Rom (t-Mobile WM6) or the bootloader upgrade Rom..
Thanks in advance!!

How To Downgrade O2 Stealth to WM5 (SDcard method)

this is my very first time starting a thread (need half an hour to figure it out) lol
please... be easy to me.
due to many friends here asking how to downgrade an O2 XDA Stealth to original WM5, i'm trying to find a way... and this is it...
1. download original Stealth WM5 ROM from:
http://www.myxda.com/xda-stealth_servicemenu.aspx#software
choose your country, then next...next...next... till the link for downloading appeared.
2. run the file you've download, click next...
notice the path where the file extracted to. in my laptop it is:
C:\Documents and Settings\dr. Ghozali\Local Settings\Application Data
3. you'll find a new folder named "DSUU"
open that folder, and there will be:
CUSTFILE (folder) ==> this is the extended ROM
DSUU.exe (hidden)
gbcall.nb0 (hidden) ==> this is the WM5 ROM you wanted so badly...
GbcFormat.dll (hidden)
GbcFormat.exe (hidden)
UpdateRom.exe (hidden)
let's see... there is 5 hidden file inside "DSUU" folder, so.. make sure you've already set ur PC to show hidden files.
4. copy the "CUSTFILE" folder and the "gbcall.nb0" to a less than 1G FAT formatted MiniSD.
don't forget to edit the properties of "gbcall.nb0" (uncheck the hidden option)
5. insert ur miniSD to ur Stealth, then power off
6. push the "Green" and "Red" button (hold it) then power ON ur Stealth
... u'll be going to O2 Logo (for about 3-5 seconds)... then the update progress will start.
7. be patient... it will need about 20-25 minutes for a complete flash.
if the flashing process was succeeded ur stealth will automatically soft reset.
wait until the "Tap Here to setup your device" appeared
8. do a HARD RESET
how to???
==> push and hold the "windows" and "OK" button, then poke the soft reset hole with ur stylush.
Welldone....
you've downgraded ur O2 Stealth to original WM5
p.s.
i've already tested on my Stealth and it works 100%
*note:
please make sure your battery was fully charged before doing this downgrade process.
i'm sorry for my bad english...
i am Indonesian

by the way,,
if u want more space, u can just flash the gbcall.nb0
no need to flash the Custfile folder. but.. of course, there will be some appllication missing. e.g. the operator setting.
well.. please report any problem or any succeeded with this method, so we can learn together.

thanks for the info mas...
i've been stuck last time flash to wimo 6.1..the problem is can't read the CUSTFILE..
at last now with ur advice my stealth already normal to wimo 5..

Thanks brader....
I've downgraded my O2 stealth back to winmo 5
Thanks for the info

anyone have other link for rom xda stealth wm5??

Your questions will be answered and your suggestions may be added to this thread.
just click the links for the tutorials you want to view, simple
1a) USPL - unlocks the p3300. *1.11.cmon* (created by pof)
1b) USPL ERRORS - list of know error codes.
2) ACTIVESYNC/WMDC - download and tutorial to get windows mobile device centre working on windows 7.
3) BOOTLOADER - manually put your device into bootloader.

10) HARD RESET - how to do a manual hard reset

*download USPL 1.11.cmon (THANKS TO "POF" FOR MAKING THE USPL!)
1) open the winrar folder for 1.11.cmon and extract ("copy") all the files to a new folder on your desktop.
2) connect your device to your pc and gain an Activesync/Windows Mobile Device Centre connection.
3) copy: "EnableRapi.cab" and "Cert_SPCS.cab" to your device using activesync/WMDC or your micro sd, run them and install them onto the device.
*when you have installed them to your device, take your Micro SD card out.
4) run START_USPL.exe on your PC, this will open a dos (black window) and your device should now have a blank screen with a penguine and a loading bar.. wait for both the PC and device to get to 100%
FLASH PROSESS.

5) the RUU (rom update utility) will now open automaticly, do not click through the RUU options. wait for your device to gain connection with activesync/WMDC before clicking through the RUU. (wait a few minuates and then click through the RUU)
RUU
6) when the RUU is finished, on your device startup you should see SPL:1.11.cmon
BOOTLOADER
*if your SPL is NOT 1.11.cmon. repeat steps (3), (4) and (5)

IF YOUR DEVICE WONT GO INTO BOOTLOADER, YOU CAN DO THIS MANUALY.
1) press and hold the voice button.
2) press the stylus/reset button to reset the device.
3) the device should startup in BOOTLOADER

IF YOUR DEVICE WONT GO INTO BOOTLOADER, USE MTTY.
download MTTY
1) set MTTY open port settings..
2) command MTTY to reset your device into BOOTLOADER.
Cmd>password BsaD5SeoA
Cmd>ruurun 0
Cmd>ResetDevice
DO NOT COPY AND PASTE, YOU MUST TYPE MANUALY.

IF YOU HAVE "BRICKED" YOUR DEVICE, DEVICE STAYS ON HTC LOGO SCREEN, YOUR DEVICE IS STUCK IN BOOTLOADER.
download your SHIP/ORIGINAL ROM,
you should be able to identify your ship/original rom by your IPL
*i recomend getting this as soon as you can just incase, however when USPL 1.11.cmon is done, the original rom is not needed as any rom can be flashed.

CHANGING THE PAGE POOL OF A .NBH ROM FILE
you can change the page pool of the .NBH (your rom file)
changing the page pool is advised, it uses phone memory as ram which speeds the device up a little. i recomend a 4MB - 6MB page pool. (whole part)
download

FLASHING A ROM.
there are plenty of roms avaliable for your device, they can be found here:
P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development
SUGGESTED ROMS:
ANDREW82 6.1 ROM
youl need to download the cam fix.cab
download
BABBELUTS 6.5 ROM (SPB MOBILE SHELL)
(this image is not the babbelut rom, the image is spb mobile shell on wm6.1 - babbeluts rom is wm6.5)
download
*if you download a rom and there is only one file (.NBH) in the download then download this CUSTOM RUU..
download

TO VIEW AND EDIT/EXTRACT THE CONTENTS OF A .NBH ROM FILE USE HTCRIE (HTC ROM IMAGE EDITOR)
download HTCRIE
this displays the contents of a rom, eg:
1) a whole rom is a .NBH file, a rom has parts, which are .NB files
*IPL
*SPL
*GSM/RADIO
*SPLASH
*EXTENDED ROM
*OS
usually when you download a custom rom, you only get the OS.nb inside the full .NBH
download GSM/RADIO.nb
ciubi said:
I upgraded to 3.34.90 radio version and I am somehow disappointed.
I have noticed that you have used a previous version - is that better?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* the radio rom does boost the signal but it depends on where you are located.
* a newer version of the radio rom doesnt exactly meen its better, so an older radio rom could be better than a newer version.
* for me i had better signal quality with an older version.
download EXTENDED ROM.nb
open Extended Rom.nb with HTCRIE (or add Extended Rom.nb to a .NBH)
now edit the config.txt and add your own .Cabs
Example
LOCK:Enabled
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Cab Name.cab
LOCK: Disabled
RST: Reset
SPLASH.nb is the startup image on device boot.
*dont get these mixed up with the WELCOMEHEAD.PNG or the ANIMATED.GIF also at startup.
SPLASH.nb is first image to be displayed (the image with the Red numbers and letters).
download (3 splash screnes)
OR TO MAKE YOUR OWN SPLASH.NB
download
1) Run the HTC Splash Tool
2) as soon as the "screen" changes image to the the the white HTC logo, click the "screen"
3) a window now opens, select the image you want to use as your splash
4) click the "trackball" on the HTC Splash Tool
* this will save it as a Splash.NB

....
TO FLASH A ROM BY MICRO SD AND HOW TO MAKE A GOLDCARD
1) format the micro sd card to fat32
2) put your .NBH on the storage card
3) rename the .NBH to ARTEIMG.NBH
4) put device into BOOTLOADER
5) when the device asks, press the green call button to flash.
GOLD CARD is just the correct original rom on your micro sd and flashed via bootloader.

TO HARD RESET THE DEVICE MANUALY
WARNING THIS WILL DELETE ALL YOUR PERSONAL DATA
1) Press and hold both soft keys
2) press the stylus/reset button to reset the device.
3) Press Green call button to restore manufacturer default, or press any other key to cancel.

IF YOUR DEVICE TURNS OFF FOR NO REASON, SUDDEN SHUTDOWN OF ARTEMIS OR YOUR DEVICE HAS A CONSTANT FLASHING RED LED WHEN CHARGING
check if its your usb cable.
check your battery contacts:

The contacts touching the battery are clear without any mess or rust
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if its still not fixed..
usually it is the battery that is causing the problem.
you must buy a "brand new" battery (not a spare).
1) put the new battery in your device
*do not turn it on.
2) charge the device untill green led

DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK
i will not, under any circumstances, be to blame if you break your device doing this so be warned!:
3) in my experience the pins on the device mini usb were not connecting properly to the mini usb lead (to the pc usb cable).
* the best way to "quickfix" this is to open the device and bend them back into place (inwards)
be carefull because these can break easily.
(not easy to fix when broken)
* you wont need to bend the pins much.
* unplug your mini usb and check that the pc mini usb cable goes into the device, its to check the pins have not been bent too much before putting the device back together.

REGISTRY HACKS & TWEAKS
Advanced users only
You will need a good registry editor, i personally use Total Commander as it is combined with a file explorer, i strongly suggest you use this.
download Total Commander
HKLM = HOT KEY LOCAL MACHINE
HKCU = HOT KEY CURRENT USER
Example:
HK** / LOCATION OF REGISTRY /
"NAME" = "REGISTRY TYPE" = "VALUE"
Increase Touch Sensitivity
HKLM/Drivers/TouchPanel
"PressureThreshold" = "HEX" = "FFFFFFFF"
HKLM/Software/OEM/TFLOSettings
"FingerPressure" = "HEX" = "FFFFFFFF"
Softkey Buttons
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112
"Default" = "String" = "name of program"
"Open" = "String" = "\program location\program.exe"

ICON TUTORIAL
*you can find plenty of free icons @ WWW.ICONFINDER.COM
**the way ill be showing you is with the icons inside a .dll that you can link to almost anything
eg, program shortcuts within the start menu is the most common**
download tools here
(inside tools.rar is: icofx, reshacker, blank .dll)
####################
*install and open ICOFX
*click: tools
*batch prosess
*if your doing start menu icons i use 128x128 with xp colors (max color)
add the icons you want and select the destination folder and click ok
*icons with a specific height and width are best to do these individually =
file\new or drag and drop your .PNG and select custom size
*now you have made your own custom icons.
*i have attatched a blank .dll.
*i have opened the blank .dll and added a custom icon so you can see how it works.
*it is simple enough, icons added will be labled 1,2,3 etc - then click save when done
(delete the automaticly saved .BAC file created by icofx, it is not needed)
*to link your icon to a specific program on your device, either edit your program XXXX.lnk or create a new .lnk
(rename a blank .txt file to .lnk)
*add this into the the .lnk replacing the XXXX with your program name and .dll name
#\windows\XXXX.exe ?\windows\XXXX.dll,-X
*no number before # eg, usually you would have a number of how many leters are in the link = the amount of letters is not needed
*-X is the number position of the icon inside the .dll
*if your icon is for a folder, rename the .lnk to ICON.lnk
*inside the icon.lnk should be
1#XXXX.dll, -X
*now put the ICON.lnk into the specific folder you want icon for
####################
**i will now show you how to edit/replace the icon inside either a .dll or an .exe file**
*in this example i have used the blank .dll from the first tutorial
*reshacker shows all the contents inside a .dll and also with .exe files too (not just icons)
*open/run RESHACKER
*click: file\open - select your .dll or .exe
*as you can see i have circled the icon number with red = ignore the highlighted 0 (zero)
*rightclick to get these avaliable options
*from here you will be able to replace the icon
*when finished click file\save
*it automaticly creates a XXXXX-original.dll/.exe file
*some .exe do not like their icons being changed.
