Update
Hello I updated my MDA pro with the Jasjar update.
I unpacked the romupdate with winrar and replace the ROMUpgradeUt with the MaUpgradeUt_noID that you can download in this section of the universal pages.
The first time you start the update it wil tell you the your countrycode isn't right. but it wil shift in to bootloader mode and when you start the update the second time it wil update your ppc without problems. Do not reboot after the first update but just try it again in bootloader mode.
Good luck it works like e clock and You get MSN, SKYPE and even a version of etrust antivirus that you can install.

what do you mean by
" Do not reboot after the first update but just try it again in bootloader mode.
"
and how are you reseting the device ?

i did it 10 times.
i'm stuck into bootloader.
the upgrade with the patched file works 100% but then ...
when i'll pull of the usb cable and try the reset (power + reset) or it is not working
any ideeas
thanks

Hello!
Is the correct file there uploaded. I was trying it but is seems to be for the
Magician. No luck for the MDA Pro.

nope. not working.

Update
For me it worked like a charm
Even with the radio update
So I can't see why it won't work with you

Upgrade
I'll try and explain again my way of installing:
I downloaded the update from Imate I unpacked the update and then I unpacked the executable with winrar. In the directory where the exe is unpacked I put the patchfile the I have uploaded for you (unpacked offcourse).
The I used that patchfile to start the update the first time it shuts down active sync 4.0 and reconnects in bootloader mode. You get a countrycode error.
the MDA is still in bootloader mode.
Now i restart the update and the install begins after the update you can reset your MDA pro. and it wil come with a IMATE splashscreen whereafter you can select your networksettings from your phonecompany.
then it wil install the new cabfiles from the rom.
That's how it went with my installation.

gpsenzo68
Isnt you mda pro a wwe rom already?

This worked for me as well. This first time I tried to run it I got a incorrect ROM version error message. Than I found out that I renamed MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe into MaUpgradeUt.exe instead of ROMUpgradeUt.exe. After renaming the file correctly gpsenzo68's explanation works just fine!
The first things I notice with the new imate ROM:
MSN (messenger works without having to buy the app (can sign in )!), Skype, Backgammon, more program memory, got rid off T-Mobile dialer skin, media player fullscreen stretch bug has not been fixed in this release.

MDA PRO ROM
MY ROM WAS THE ORIGINAL ROM FROM T-Mobile and now its a wwe rom

original german or english rom?

MDA Pro
NL Rom as you can see ;-)) So English

will your updated in this topic works
but it wont start after its done
its just says bootloader.
i really need the new updater to be hacked
it gets a string from the device.
someone able to hack this?

I did the upgrade from Jasjar WWE to Dopod CHT. Here is how I did it:
1. Connect JJ to ActiveSync thru USB and wait till the sync session is completed.
2. While the sync is still active, I ran MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe. After a few steps of checking, it will disconnect ActiveSync and put the JJ into the bootloader mode.
3. The upgrade will halt with a country code error. No upgrade has been performed yet.
4. Run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe again while the cable is still connected and JJ still in bootloader mode. I was prompted that I am upgrading from [Blank] to [NewVersionNumber]. Click "Next".
5. The ROM will be upgraded this time till it's done. It took about 20 minutes.
6. I pressed both softkeys and reset. When the reset prompt comes up, I pressed "0" to reset to default factory settings. After some booting time, JJ starts to speak Chinese.
I upgraded to Chinese ROM because the Chinese plug-in I used to use for English ROM is kind of buggy on WM5. Thanks to everyone on this forum.

There are a few things I did after I upgraded to CHT ROM:
1. Changed the system font to the more artistic Kai font (from KAIU.ttf on a Windows machine). The original system font was MingLiU, which looked kind of scrawny on a VGA screen.
2. Re-enabled ClearType for the system and PIE. For some reason, Dopod disabled ClearType settings so the user cannot turn on ClearType from the user interface. I used a registry editor and modified a few keys to get the ClearType feature back.
With the Kai font and ClearType, the screen becomes a lot more readable and very pretty! If someone is interested in step-by-step instructions, let me know, and I will post them.
By the way, I was so excited when I discovered the im.tv site actually works for me in USA. I was able to watch the TV news in Taiwan in full VGA screen.
One difference I noticed is that with the WWE ROM, I can very easily set up Bluetooth ActiveSync. With the CHT ROM, the device can only discover the serial port service on my computer, but not recognize its ActiveSync capability. If someone knows how to correct this, please let me know.
Also, in case you don't know, the keyboard mappings between WWE and CHT ROMs are slightly different. The SYM key is swapped with the ";" character, probably because SYM is hardly used in Chinese input. The shortcut "FN + ;" can toggle the English and Bomopofo modes. Note the ";" character is now on the SYM key of JASJAR.

Hi yyl :
Can you tell me how to change system front to Kai ?
Thanks

1. Copy KAIU.ttf from a Windows machine. Paste it into the Pocket PC's "Windows" directory thru ActiveSync.
2. Using a registry editor (like PHM RegEdit), BACK UP your registry first! Then go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink\". Change the data of "Courier New" and "Tahoma" keys to "\windows\KAIU.ttf,DFKai-SB".
3. Soft-reset your device. Now all the Chinese characters become Kai font. It is not very smooth, because ClearType is still disabled.
4. To enable ClearType, this is how I did it. Maybe some steps are not really necessary.
5. Using the same registry editor, search for the keyword "cleartype" in all the keys and values. I found three matches. I set ClearType=1, NoClearType=0, ClearTypeText=1 respectively.
6. Soft-reset your device. You will see that the system ClearType is still disabled. Go to "Settings -> System -> Screen -> ClearType" to enable ClearType. This option was originally hidden from end users. Now it's visible. Once you check the "Enable ClearType" box, the font will immediately smooth up.
That's it. One thing worthy of note is, KAIU.ttf seems to only have traditional Chinese characters, not simplied Chinese. I am not sure.

Thanks yyl , I will try it today

Can you upload KAIU.ttf which I can't find in my window machine, Are you used Chiese window system ? mine was English + language pack

The KAIU.ttf comes with many versions of Microsoft Office of many languages. When the Asian character support is selected during installation, Office will install some extra Asian fonts for you. This is one of them.
Anyway, I uploaded this font to ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]/Universal
I don't know if this upload is appropriate. If it is not, the board moderators, please feel free to delete it. Thanks.
The principles that I outlined above should work with any TrueType Chinese font that you like.

I have Modify the font to KAIU , But it does not suppurt Simpfy Chinese, it only support tradition chinese, does any font will fit Both?

Yes, as I mentioned in one of my previous posts, KAIU.ttf seems to include only traditional Chinese. The MingLiU font that came with the Dopod ROM has both traditional and simplified. I presume there are many third-party fonts on the market that support both. Note that fonts supporting both styles tend to occupy a lot more space.

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!

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

How to upgrade ROm with nbh file

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

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!

Original Vodafone SPL (warranty)

Hello,
I've got an touch diamond with hard spl and windows mobile 6,5... but today my touch screen doesn't react on touching anymore so I need to send it for warranty. I had an backup of my original spl but I lost it installing windows 7...Now I need an original spl for my vodafone phone... Maybe someone can help me with this(I'm from holland don't know if that matters for the version of the spl...)
already many thanks...
Erick

Try searching on the Vodafone website for a Rom for your device, if you are able to find it then flash it, it will install the rom and radio, but the SPL will remain HardSPL. As the final step when you have your stock rom flashed is the SPL flashing, the SPL can be extracted from the Vodafone rom package with "nbh extract"... when you will have it follow the steps in the HardSPL thread where you can find the way to flash the original SPL...

Allright, I installed a new firmware from the internal storage because my touch screen doesn't work... now the only thing i need is the original bootlader. I tried nbh extract but it doesn't work on my windows? (windows 7) here is the link to my original rom http://www.vodafone.nl/Vodafone/wg2...igned_Diamond_52.44.25.24_1.08.25.08_Ship.exe
maybe someone can help me how to install the bootloader...(again I have no touchscreen anymore
regards and thanks already

heres how i envisage doing it.
you need to run jumpspl on your phone. I guess you can still run an OS and execute apps using the navi pad and action key.
if you have done the jumspl correctly your screen will rurn blank connect your phone to your PC and then you can flsh the original spl back!
i attach the jumpspl with instructions as well as the SPL.nb file extracted from the ROM which you posted the link to.
i did not recreate it as an nbh file as i do not know what model ID, country ID,Version and language your phone, is may be some one else can tell you! or if you tell me can build a flashable nbh for you!
i ask can some one else to please verify this procedure first, before you attempt doing it!

Well great thanks for the help but maybe you can make a flash file for me...the next thing is the problem, windows is installed and when you want to start windows you will need to tap te screen to run the standard procedure to allign the screen and set the date...I can't do this without touch and so i can't load any apllications how do i find the info that you need?regards

Can anyone tell me where to find:
ID, country ID,Version of my HTC touch Diamond??(without touch screen)
regards

alrright the next things i've found hope that it helps for creating a nbh file for my spl instead of the hardspl...
Country - The Netherlands
Dutch Language
Rom1.93
DIAM100
FCDID:NM8DMS

ok ive done it with the info you gave but i also used some of the generic info like Moel ID= Diam**** .... etc
the nbh is built but you should get confirmation off some one else before you proceed! i take no responsibility ! hope this helps

can somebody check/confirm this? Already many thanks! regards Erick

allright i installed it but it doesn't work still have got olinex spl...at this moment active sync is working maybe someone can help me out now?
regards

it wont work until you run jump sl properly! jump spl overides the write restrictions on the spl!
if you run jump sply correctly the screen will go blank as soon as you execute it!
then connect you usb cable and flash! (whilstthe screen is blank)

already thanks for the great help, JUMPSPL is running! now i try to install the rom with customruu and then copy the nhb you made for me in the same directory..only it still stays on olinex

CustumRUU says it is installed correctly and that it's finished...I think Jump SPL isnt working like it should, the screen is not turning black but it says that i can install the spl...I think the problem is that i can't alling the screen and windows is not fully loaded yet..?
regards

mmm, the problem is jum spl alright! im sorry i dont have a solution for you may be some one else can help! try searching i quiet sure i have read similar problems elswhere!

yeah the problems are there enough but no sollutions to it...I need the following thing...In the startup folder of windows mobile there is the welcome screen, i wan't to delete it so maybe i can go throug loading windows and then i maybe can load the jump spl...just to skip the allignment of the screen...but when i want to delete the files it says that i've got no autohority, also not with total commander, maybe someone knows anything to delete the files with active sync..?
regards and many thanks already to idristo
