Please, if someone has MDA PRO with original ROM can use this indications to completely backup it (and upload it to
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Universal/
please!!!)
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 (if you want to backup operating system):
d2s 70100000 04000000
or type (if you want to backup extended rom):
d2s 74100000 00a00000
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 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
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.

Error message
I have an MDA PRO on Netherlands origional ROM. I am not able to use MTTY.exe to back up my ROM. I follow your procedure with the following exceptions:
1. "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."
NOTE: Bootloader mode is the dark screen that says "Serial" (unplugged) or "USB" (plugged). I can only access this by using POWER + LIGHT + SOFT RESET.
2. "Run MTTY.EXE and select USB connection. After that a terminal window will popup in that window."
NOTE: Is it necessary after this step to run the command "password UNIVERSAL"?
3. "Type d2s 70100000 04000000"
NOTE: I, as with others, recieve the following error:
USB>d2s
Not allow operation!
USB>d2s 70100000 04000000
Not allow operation!
This final error is where I am stuck. Thanks in advance to anyone who can advise!
I have exactly the same issue as nedbsd.........
Using original Dutch T-Mobile rom:
version: 1.12.42
date: 08/23/05
radio: 1.00.02
protocol: 42.33.P8
ext. rom: 1.12.125 WWE
Hmm... this isn't working for me either. It looks like the MDA Pro is taking the password but not staying in the right mode.
The transcript from MTTY looks like this:
USB>password UNIVERSAL
HTCSPass.< YHTCEUSB>d2s 70100000 04000000
Not allow operation!
USB>
Which is a bit of a mess. It does seem that this is the right password, however, as if I type in a different password I get an error message:
USB>password BADPASS
HTCSInvalid password.R¿ËPHTCEUSB>
This is from a standard English MDA PRO. Any ideas?
MDA Pro Rom backup
So, no fresh ideas :?:
same problems as above:
first stage - password UNIVERSAL
HTCSPass.< YHTCEUSB>
looks like OK
then 2ds
Invalid command : 2ds
or by Topogigi advice
h full
Invalid command : h
MDA Pro Rom backup
really Invalid command-
password UNIVERSAL
HTCSPass.< YHTCEUSB>d2s 70100000 04000000
Not allow operation!
USB>
etc.
This sounds very strange to me. From the beginning of the pocketpc era the bootloader was provided with a comprehensive help feature that you could recall with the command "h full"....

Well, you are not the only one that finds it strange, there is about a dozen threads allready about people trying to figure out how to make a rom-image from the universal. No succes so far!
The commands published here on the wiki page just don't work.....
Yup, I've already read all the threads forum-wide concerning the efforts people made to get a rom dump, but noone suggested to try with "h". So, I was curious to see what would happen, that's all! :wink:
BTW, you can notice yourself that there is something very strange in the result you reported in the other thread:
password UNIVERSAL
HTCSPass.< YHTCEUSB>h full
Invalid command : h
For a help screen, use command ? or h

That drives me to think that our problems are password related. Perhaps "UNIVERSAL" is a valid password, but with all the commands disabled... :?:
Any success ?

Hello everyone, i hope someone knows what the hell my JasJar bootloader have, since i'm trying to flash my device without success.
I've searched everywhere in the forum but found just a message with no reply.
First of all, i've unlocked my jasjar, it's now a superCID device. Or well, i guess so, since i can exec lnb commands.
Here you are the "log" from mtty:
-------------------------------------------------------
USB>task 32
Level = 0
USB>info 2
HTCS00000000 î¢-HTCE
USB>lnb c:\image.nb0
:F=c:\image.nb0
:A=70100000
:O=00000000
:L=FFFFFFFF
start NB image download
Fail to synchronize with the host (1)
USB>
-------------------------------------------------------
Using the "l" command jasjar hangs and MTTY claims a timeout in \\\wcehUSB1 or something after 5 minutes.
Any idea? I've tried with USB2 and USB1.2, tried differend PC models and differend baud but nothing change.
The "info 2" returns a strange SuperCID message. 2 bad.
Any advice is appreciated!

I've also tried to upgrade bootloader to v1.1 but still have same issues...
i wonder if anyone could help me with my problem!
i can't upgrade / Install RADIO ROM (any) in my UNIVERSAL. what happens is that it doesn't starts and when rebooting it says NO GSM where the versions are mentioned in red.
my universal goes in the bootloader mode properly and the update or RADIO ROM Starts; but it stays on 0% and doesn't move ahead. after a while and error comes ERROR 114. Can't update RADIO ROM.
This all happened when i was trying to downgrade my radio rom from 1.14.01 to 1.13.00 this morning and it stopped at 66% with giving this messege.. cannot upgrade radio rom... since then i am unable to re-install radio rom. However i am able to install WIN CE ROM and EXT ROM but not radio ROM.
can you guys help me somehow?

Radio rom upgrades are definately more reliable with the original cable. I have read somewhere in these forum that the mode of radio ROM upgrade is different from other ROMs (CE and Ext rom) this is the reason why it takes more time than the CE rom although the later is much larger in size. I suggest you try again if possible on a different PC. For some strange reason I can upgrade my Radio ROM only in my office PC.

I too find that upgrade in Bootloader is more reliable.
To let you into a little secret.. I ALWAYS flash now in Bootloader mode.. I have only had a couple of "bad flashes" but all of them were direct from a running OS...
I have sent you a pm, that should solve your issue. Please check your pm's...
Take care,

i have tried circumvent bootloader password too... and getting error like Win32 Error, Cannot read from the specified device when HEX of password is placed on the memory field of WinDbg.
Tried Another solution for NO GSM but no luck !!
okay here goes; your quoted link had point#5 for no GSM when booting so i followed it as given below.
Pls. see the comments in (( )) for how i conduct these steps and what value is returned.
[[[[--->
Problem 5: Device shows NO GSM when booting (( I'm having this problem ))
1) The radio stack is screwed, you don't get GSM signal and the phone says unknown SIM status
2) Device won't start after trying to unlock it with HTC Universal Unlocker (HTC_Uni_SIM_Unlock_v1)
Here is how to fix it:
1)Disable activesync on your computer by right click on activesync icon -> connection settings -> uncheck "allow USB connections". (( Done! ))
2)Put your Hermes (( Universal )) in bootloader mode
3) Connect device to computer using USB cable. (( Done with Original Cable ))
4) Open mtty.exe and select USB port, then connect.
Hit enter twice, you will see the "USB>" prompt. (( Okay but i usually get the USB> prompt with single hit of Enter ))
Type the following commands (do not copy paste!!!) (( I type them ))
USB> password 0000000000000000 (( Returns: HTCSPass1.CMˆËHTCEUSB> ))
USB> set 1e 1 (( Returns: USB> ))
USB> erase a0040000 c80000 (( Returns: HTCST ÚÈÒHTCEUSB> ))
USB> erase a0cc0000 c80000 ((Returns: HTCST ÚÈÒHTCEUSB> ))
USB> erase a1940000 640000 (( Returns: HTCST ÚÈÒHTCEUSB> ))
USB> set 1e 0 ((Returns: USB> ))
(( Then i close the window of MTTY and proceed to step 5 ))
5) Reset your phone and put it back in bootloader mode (( Here i take my Universal off the usb cable, soft reset it with the stylus and without letting it to boot i switch it into the bootloader mode again and get "Serial & v1.01" on the screen's header and footer ))
6) If your bootloader version is different than 1.04 then Flash Bootloader version 1.04 (( I simply ignore this step as this could be for Hermes users only not for UNIVERSAL Users - Pls. correct me if i'm wrong ))
7) Flash the patched radio used to simunlock the Hermes (( I do it with HTC_Uni_Unlock_v1 it has radio version 0.00.00 BUT still it gets stuck at 0% and after sometime gives the same error 114. Cannot Update Radio ROM ))
Your phone should be alive again (( Its Not ))
<---]]]]
i don't think i'm doing anything wrong here... just the step 5 of bootLoader Update to 1.04...
what comes in your mind ???
i'm desperately missing my pda. its begun to hurt now... please help me rescue my baybee....

Don't worry, mate, you're almost there...
Don't worry about the bootloader version, that is just for the Hermes (Universal will be 1.01 or under for G3, 2.1 for G4). If it's under 1.01 it would be worth upgrading to 1.01 which you can find on the ftp.

glad to know about my being almost there... still i wonder whats keeping me away from retaining my device...
i have already got BootLoader 1.01...
what other method should i apply to get it working again?????
I have the same problem, but not in Universal, but apache, jwright help me.
i have the same problem can smeone help
Try this
"Type "task 28 55aa" and hit enter.
This will restore the DOC partition to its original layout and delete all data
including the ROM!
Once finished you must use the "Original OEM ROM" (i.e. JASJAR WWE
1.30.76) that is made for your device and update with it (CE,Extended
and Radio).
Also if your device bootloader version is lower than "v 1.01" you should
update that first (before installing the OEM ROM, but NOT before "Task
28 55aa").
After this is complete you may then use your device again.
Please let me know how things work out for you...
Take care,

my hermes having this problem also ((
Hi all, I've just inherited an SPV M5000, this is currently locked to Orange (UK), I downloaded the upgrade tool and have used it successfully on Uni's in the past, but this time it won't work.
The bootloader ver reports itself as v2.01, so it's a G4 device. When I try and run the unlock tool I get the following error after I click the "Upgrade" button:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Interestingly, this tool doesn't list any previous radio / version numbers whatsoever but it still offers me the chance to upgrade.
These are the steps I try to get it to install:
1. Hold down the Backlight + Power button and press the reset button
2. "SERIAL" is displayed at the top of the screen with backlight off, "v2.01" at the bottom
3. I connect my Uni to my PC, "Serial" changes to "USB"
4. I run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe tool, it welcomes me yadda yadda, I click Next, it says "Checking the information on your device - Please wait"
5. About 10 seconds later, it comes back with the list of version numbers, what's installed, what's going to be installed etc, the only field that lists anything is the last one, "Radio Image Version", which it lists as 0.00.00
6. I click "Upgrade", the "Checking the information.." window pops up briefly, then I see the large upgrading progress bar
7. I see "Stage1: Upgrading Radio. Please wait ..." with an empty progress bar, this stays at 0% for about 60 seconds, and then I see the error above.
When I'm doing this, I"ve made sure the phone is turned on in Windows Mobile, and that there is no SIM card or SD card inserted.

Steps I've also tried:
1. I've tried it with the original orange SIM card inside
2. I've tried it with my T-Mobile SIM card inside
3. I've tried running the tool when the M5000 is booted into Windows Mobile and sat at the Today screen
4. I've flashed Windows Mobile 6.5 to it with a separate updater, THIS UPDATED PERFECTLY FINE, so I know it's possible to flash my M5000, that the cable / drivers are all good etc..
5. I've also tried rebooting my PC
I'm starting to lose faith, please can someone advise?
Well
All the times I have flashed a ROM or radio when I use that tool I always see a picture of an Universal on it...
On your picture there is no Universal, it is another device, so perhaps you do not have the proper radio or ROM
Hope it helped,
Sorry double post

It's definitely a Uni, although externally it's an o2 XDA Exec, the board is from an Orange SPV M5000 bought within the last 1-2 years, it's a G4 device (Bootloader v2.01), the phone is locked to Orange UK.
Ps. thankyou for getting back to me where no one else would

what orb was referring to is not the device itself but the picture in the upgrading utility, you posted. it shows the magician, meaning you are probably using MAupgradeut_noID.exe to upgrade, while he says, he uses the original universal rom upgrade tool.
Hi, yep I'm sure the GSM modem is turned on / flight mode is turned off.
The unlock tool I used was downloaded from http://buzzdev.net/downloads.php?file=288
In this archive however, it is listed as "MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe", is this wrong?
Here is a screenshot of the files:
I've also tried using a ROM tool for the uni (that flashed one of the 6.5 roms successfully to this device), that fails too.
Where can I find this original ROM upgrade tool? or was this it?

I asume you already read the Wiki, over there you can find the tools you need to upgrade correctly
Good luck,
I've tried the tools in the WIKI, I downloaded UniversalRUU.zip, copied the radio_.nbf from Buzz's tool to the folder and tried to flash it with that, that didn't work.
I also tried downloading the latest radio ROM and it's tool, 1.18.00, and the previous versions, 1.15.00, neither of this would flash either.
Bump thanks
Have you tried Doc format?
Doc format?
while the topic is at doc format, i never managed to do that on my universal. there was a file called repart_doc.exe for the blueangel, that not only formatted the extrom, once it was unhidden and unlocked, it would also let you redefine the partitions, so making the storage bigger by reducing the size of the extrom to its minimum of 128kb. however, i always get the same mistake, that the partition i want to work on, was not found, because, obviously the partition's name is a different one for the uni. so, if anyone knows, where to get the repart_doc for the universal, please post it, i can test it and if it happens to work, i will write the tutorial and the wiki for that.
Hello guys,
I seem to be getting the same error (114) over and over. I haven't found a solution yet from the forum.
Foxdie, did you manage to flash the radio eventualy ?
I was wondering if the flash won't go through because my device is locked or something. I have upgraded the CE ROM to WM6 without an issue though. I only get the error when I attempt to flash the radio
Awwwwww... So frustrating...
Nope, still unable to flash, I've got no clue regarding the Doc solution that Chef_Tony is talking about (in particular, how flashing a radio ROM is related to repartitioning a flash disk, I would imagine they're two entirely separate entities).
I hope someone can help, am willing to donate money to XDA Developers and / or Buzz (if it's his tool that ultimately unlocks my Uni).

1. Disable activesync on your computer by right click on activesync icon -> connection settings -> uncheck "allow USB connections".
2. Put your Hermes in bootloader mode
3. Connect device to computer using USB cable.
4. Open mtty.exe and select USB port, then connect.
5. Hit enter twice, you will see the "USB>" prompt.
6.
Type the following commands (do not copy paste!!!)
USB> password 0000000000000000
USB> set 1e 1
USB> erase a0040000 c80000
USB> erase a0cc0000 c80000
USB> erase a1940000 640000
USB> set 1e 0
7. If the password does not work, try password BsaD5SeoA
8. Reset your phone and put it back in bootloader mode
9. If your bootloader version is different than 1.04 then Flash Bootloader version 1.04 (if you can't flash the bootloader version 1.04 (for what ever reason) and you have KITL enabled Rom, then there is final solution - PB_KITL_HERMES))
10. Flash the patched radio used to simunlock the Hermes
11. Your phone should be alive again
METHOD 2
Also, Ive found that Hard-Reseting the device restores GSM.
1. Remove the battery
2. wait 10 second
3. Re-insert Battery
4. Turn the device on
5. Watch for "NO GSM" on boot
6. if you see it. Return to step 1. (sometimes you have to do it up to 20 times)
If you see two lines of text flash up instead of 'No GSM' it means the GSM is functioning. For me this restored my radio in just 4 tries.
This ONLY works if your radio is NOT corrupted, but if you tried to updgrade and stalled between 0% and 15% of the GSM upgrade, it depends on the radio version you were trying to flash. But it's worth a try, the only downside is if your phone crashes, it will more than likely boot up with 'No GSM' so you'll have to do all over again.

i have a htc 8525 at$t locked-details as below
rom version 2.15.502.3
rom date 04/09/07
radio version 1.40.30.00
bootloader screen details as below
HERM100
IPL-1.03
SPL-1.11
i got HTC_Hermes_SIM_Unlock_v2a to unlock-in it procedure as below.
Install Instructions:
1. Enter bootloader mode on your Phone. To do this, simultaneously hold side OK and POWER buttons together and reset
with stylus.
[You should see SPL-1.04 on the top of the tri-color screen, if you see SPL-1.06 this unlocker will not work, please
wait for the next version]
2. Connect your phone to your computer using the USB lead.
3. Run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe program – this will reflash your phone with a patched radio ROM required to unlock.
4. Wait patiently.
5. Once the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe upgrade completes, it will end up saying "Upgrade Error 114", but the patched radio ROM
will be flashed anyway, dont worry about that error!
6. Soft reset with stylus (Device will not be hard reset and no data will be lost)
7. Allow your phone to reboot. Once it has, connect to your PC using Activesync, and copy the HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe program
onto your phone. Alternatively, copy it to an SD card and insert into your phone.
8. Run HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe on your phone. Wait about 1 minute.
9. You should see a "SUCCESS!" message from HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe, after that soft reset your phone.
10. Process is (hopefully) complete!
11. If the phone requests unlock code when you put a locked SIM, the code is: 22051978
but my doubt is my SPL is 1.11
can i unlock using HTC_Hermes_SIM_Unlock_v2a?
help me
thank u
