Hi xda developers,
great forum!
I have a MDA II (T-Mobile germany) with newsest rim 1.72.
I tried to install IIWPO (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/IIWPO) and the tool works fine.
But now, I will put it to extended rom. I unhide the extended rom by using the tool xda-developers _Unlocker.CAB, ok I see the extended rom.
Now i try to unlock the extended rom, but I got an error from the tool the an device is not found.....
I try everything, but I can't write to extended rom ;-(
Does anyone have an idee, how to disable write protection?
Erik

I tried flashing with the NoID tool several times, yet it always failed, or my Universal would not boot after the flash.
The regular T-Mobile update utility did work like a charm, and never failed on my. Thus I created a little tutorial on how to convert wrong ROMs to ROMs it will accept.
In this Example I will explain how to use an O2 XDA Exec ROM (and a different radio ROM) on a T-Mobile MDA Pro device
It's easiest to start with a clean directory to do all this as else it can get quite messy.
First, get the HTC64 Extended ROM Tool by Bal666 here:
http://buzzdev.net/component/option,com_remository/Itemid,100/func,fileinfo/id,196/
Next get an original ROM for your device, in my case I used the T-Mobile UK ROM as my device was english anyway.
For example, on the T-Mobile MDA Pro UK (or dutch) version, use "UNI_TMUK_11242_126_10002_Ship.exe" (find it yoursef)
Use WinRAR (http://www.rarlabs.com/) to unpack this file to a new directory called "Original", and unpack it again to a directory named "Converted".
The Original directory will be used to check things, and the Converted directory will be used to store all the roms that we have converted
Next we must find the ROMs we want to flash. I got "Xda_Exec_LaunchROM_v113139.exe" and Unpacked it in a directory named "O2", and "UNI_radio_1.08.00.rar" (from buzzdev.net) and unpacked it into "Radio Update".
First we must find out some things about our original ROMs. For each original ROM in the "Original" directory, follow the next steps:
- Open the HTC64 Extended ROM Tool
- Click Decode
- Open the ROM (.nbf file)
- Write down the values after "Operator Name" and "Language"
- Hit Cancel
Now we must modify the ROMs from the other distributions.
From the O2 directory we will use nk.nbf (OS) and ms_.nbf (Extended ROM), and from the Radio Update directory we will use radio_.nbf (Updated Radio ROM).
For each ROM you want to convert, follow the following steps:
- Open HTC64 Extended ROM Tool
- hit Decode
- Open the ROM
- In "Operator Name" and "Language" fill in what you wrote down earlier
- Hit Decode
- (on the begin screen) Hit Encode
- Open the .prj file you just created (same name as ROM, but with extensio .prj)
- Hit Encode
- if asked "Overwrite existing ROM", choose "Yes"
- if asked "Fat16 file is too large", choose "OK"
- When done, copy the over-written .nbf file from the directory you created it in (like O2 or Radio ROM) to the Converted directory. Choose to overwrite the existing file.
When all is done, run the ROMUpgradeUT.exe in the Converted directory, and follow the instructions.
If all goes well, you should have upgraded your ROM without having to CID-Unlock or use NoID tools that were originally made for another device
If before the actual upgrade your PC says it has found an unrecognized USB Device, close the RomUpgradeUT.exe with task manager (ctrl+alt+del), and reset your device (push the stylus in the hole at the backside). Then re-run the ROMUpgradeUT.exe
Credits go to iruja because he helped me find these tool
Let me know if it also worked on your device
EDIT: Stupid me, HTC64 Extended ROM Tool is by bal666
EDIT2: Note on "Unrecognized USB Device"
EDIT3: Added credits
Nice Job! Good, Clear and informative instructions.
he, leuke guide, die ken ik ergens van
Nice people like my way, this is the same way I test different roms for the wizard, without having to cid unlock the phone and loose warranty
Thank you "TheBlasphemer"
wow, I searched this forum for a few hours trying to understand how to install roms from other developers onto my Universal. It was driving me insane cause i kept on recieving country id errors. I found your post and was delighted to find how easy it really is to upgrade roms. Thank you for helping people like me who have no clue. Thanks, Thanks and More thanks. I also give shout outs to all others in this forum who take time to help others. XDA Developers is awesome! I'm surprised that developer sites dont link to xda developers for their customers. It would save them alot of time and money. Peace
Great Instructions
Many thanks for the great instructions.
I tried to flash my T-Mobile MDA Pro to the latest i-Mate rom and it became stuck in the Bootloader mode (I used the No-ID tool, and tried every type of reset). Fortunately this approach works, and I'm now the proud over of an much faster PDA.
Rom: 1.30.68 WWE 02/08/06
Radio: 1.09.00
Protocol: 42.42.P8
ExtRom: 1.30.153 WWE
The original T-Mobile Rom sucks compared to these i-Mate Roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=42743
Excellent
Crystal clear instructions. worked like a charm once I found the Orange operator code is ORANG007. The "Orange" ROM on ftp appears to be a hash of 3 other versions as the operator names are QTEK001 and CDC__ something or other....
Thanks again for the excellent, no hassle upgrade method!
This procedure will be working on MDA Vario (QTek9100) ?
I have a QTEK 9000 that is in Spanish OS. There is no available downloadable shipping ROM so how do i get the values of Operator Name and Language? Are they in the registry=?
Tried this on my MDA pro NL which is stuck in boot screen, but no dice
I used however the init UK rom from T-mobile, not the NL which was my official one. I don't have a NL so I maybe if I use that one, it'll work, but Im afraid not
Viper, I also have a NL version and would like to upgrade my MDA...did you have any luck doing so or did you find the original dutch ROM?
(A stupid question: when I upgrade my rom, i assume that all my data is lost, right?)
Just wondering did you all upgrade your devices with the exe that came with the new ROM, or the one that comes from the phone vendor? :roll:
Kinda wondering should I use the one that comes with the QTek ROM, or should I use the one that came with the Dopod ROM (mine's a Dopod)
wow, how easy was that
the orange updater from the net (M5000_email.exe M5000) creates a temp directory called
\Local Settings\Temp\pft3CA.tmp\
run the orange updater program so it extracts the files, DONT CLOSE IT, leave it at the point where you make it update (don't hit next)
now follow the steps of the OP
simply decode your chosen rom, encode them with the correct info, then overwrite the roms in the temp directory with your required ones
then let the orange app install 'em for you!
took me 10 min to make my radio only to 1.09
hi guys
my MDA Pro dead, only show boot mode. i can't turn on my phone. i'm using all rom files. but no result. please help me how repar my phone. i'm use then solution no result. i can't change my phone lang. detect phone show only empty info. help me pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
siemens man??
why that name, do you work for 'em?
hi guys
thank you for reply mail. all problem solved. now good working
thanks to Buzz
Thank you verry much i'm verry happy with the Qtek-ROM (radio of Dopod 900) instead of the T-mobile rom
And now I have MSN
Im going to upgrade my MDA PRO tonight using the instrutions in this thread, but which is the best ROM to update it to? i suppose i would like push mail and msn messenger/hotmail.
also is there a slightly more stable internet browser in the ROMS? my current IE is not very good, and opera has the habbit of coming up with a not enough storage memory in dll error!
XDA EXEC is dead
I received my xda exec two days ago. I've tried the ROM upgrade as described. ROMUpgradeUT went OK. When I cold boot my device I get two options - Press 0 to restore factory default Press X to exit. Neither have any effect and the exec seems to be dead. Can someone help out or suggest a fix please?
It's alive !!!
Managed to get the exec in boatloader mode, plugged in usb and reflashed it with an original O2 rom, which, thankfully revived it. I still would like to find out what went wrong with the original ROM upgrade and why it 'killed' the exec. I followed the instructions to the letter. My orignal pre-installed ROM was a 1.13.82 (11/30/05), Radio 1.04.02, XROM 1.13.188. I tried to upgrade to JASJAR ME 1.30.82 171 10900 WWE ship ROM, which effectively turned my exec into (I quote) 'a very expensive paperweight'. I now have got it working with an older O2 original ROM (ROM 1.13.48 (09/19/05), Radio 1.04.02, XROM 1.13.139). When I tried to flash I overwrote the 'original' (ROM 1.13.48 (09/19/05), Radio 1.04.02, XROM 1.13.139) with the modified ROM, RADIO and XROM files from the JASJAR version, I didn't replace any dll files. Could this be the problem or am I way off target? Can anyone spot were I messed up here. Tonight I will try with another JASJAR upgrade, now that I know I can safely reflash with an oringal O2 ROM.
anyone know where i can get ROMUpgradeUT.exe tool from?
Hi cracks!
I have two devices and need a modified ROM version for both:
- Vario II (HTC Hermes)
- MDApro (HTC Universal)
At the end the ROM versions must have the following functions:
- No Service Provider branding (cleared HTC ROM)
- defined communication settings (i.e. T-Mobile apn)
- A special .cab-file for encryption the sd-card must automaticly installed after a hard reset (file integrated in extended ROM?)
The OS should be WM5 AND WM6, so I need four ROM files in summary.
Can anyone give me a tool, that i can use for BOTH devices or can anyone create the files for me?
I know, this is a big assignement, but when you want to do ONE good deed a day, thats your chance!
Thanks in advance!
What’s in P3600i ? (Also called CHT9110 or D810x)
Recently I bought a new Trinity~CHT9110 that is known
as P3600i or D810x in other countries.
The WM6 ROM of my new Trinity is in Chinese Traditional Version.
The hardware differences between P3600 and P3600i are
CPU 400Mhz upgraded to 500Mhz and storage memory
128MB upgraded to 256MB. ( Please see cap01)
I post what I found with P3600i in these days and
hope every body provides what they found as well
so that we can gather enough information to deal
with P3600i.
1) We can’t use any non-official ROM update utilities
to flash P3600i :
The Hard-SPL, CID unlocker, SSPL-TRIN or any other
update utilities couldn’t work for P3600i.
I tried to down grade to WM5 ROM, and it also failed
at 1%. I hope somebody can work out a new patch
that works..
2) Currently the only way to upgrade the Radio
ROM of P3600i to 1.50.08.11:
Originally the radio version of P3600i is
1.46.00.11
32.79.7020.19H
The radio update utility couldn’t work, either.
So currently the only way for us to upgrade to
1.50.08.11
32.83.7020.20H
is to download official upgrade ROM that is with
new radio version.
The latest official WM6 Chinese Traditional version
has updated to radio 1.50.08.11. So I can update
my new Trinity by flashing the entire official ROM.
(Please see cap02)
3) P3600 and P3600i use the same WM6 ROM:
In fact, the latest official WM6 ROM mentioned above
is released for CHT9100 (or P3600, D810) in HTC’s
web site.
I use this ROM to flash CHT9110 (or P3600i, D810x)
and it works perfectly without any error.
So we get a conclusion that the WM6 ROM released
for P3600 is the same as that used in P3600i.
4) The Extended ROM of CHT9110 (or P3600i,
D810x) has write-back design:
I found a way to mount the Extended ROM and
delete all the files in it. Just follow the two steps:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / System / StorageManger / Profiles / EXT_FLASHDRV /
----> Modify the value of MountHidden from “1” to “0”.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / System / StorageManger / Profiles / EXT_FLASHDRV / FATFS /
----> Modify the value of EnableCache from “0” to “1”.
Please see cap03. The Extended ROM is totally 9.94MB,
7.51MB in use and 2.43MB free. You can view all the
Extended ROM files in cap04.
After modify the registry, you can delete all the files
in the Extended ROM. If you occur the “ Action Failed”
notification, just try again and then the Extended ROM
becomes 0 MB in use.
(Please see cap05)
You can also try copying some files into the
Extended ROM.
But after a soft reset, the files you put into
Extended ROM disappeared and the original files
of Extended ROM are all written back to it.
5) There is one more different file in CHT9110’s
Extended Rom than CHT9100’s.
PT_Enable_WCC.cab
----> I don’t know what’s the usage of this file
This is very useful information. Can I ask you please where can I find the updated ROM you have mentioned, with the new radio??
---quoted
So currently the only way for us to upgrade to
1.50.08.11
32.83.7020.20H
is to download official upgrade ROM that is with
new radio version.
The latest official WM6 Chinese Traditional version
has updated to radio 1.50.08.11. So I can update
my new Trinity by flashing the entire official ROM.
Does this also mean that the wm6voip.cab wont run on the P3600i?
can you upload the full official p3600i ROM with radio version 1.50 to rapidshare?
also, can you test cpu usage when using stylus, on P3600 there is some issue with this, for example when you play some games and use stylus to navigate frame rate drops considerably, I'm just courious if this has been fixed..
yeah I want to know too
from teh HTC web site I can't find the ROM you mentioned above
A leakage of HTC's download website

I found a method that works currently to download
official WM6 ROM of different languages from HTC’s
website.
I guess HTC might close the download access if they
find the leakage mentioned below.
First, go to the HTC’s worldwide website:
http://www.htc.com/
Select the Region & Language you prefer.
Try to join the membership for free~ choose the way
that doesn’t need any purchased device s/n number.
For example, you select Australia-English.
Choose “Service & Support” --> “Download Now”
--> “Join Now, Go”
Then complete the Join Member Process.
If you choose Hong Kong-繁中(Hong Kong- Chinese Traditional)
or Taiwan-繁中(Taiwan-Chinese Traditional),
just choose “會員專區”(Member District)
--> “加入會員”(Join Membership)
Second, go to the official WM6 download website:
http://hsc.asia.htc.com/e-club/download/login.aspx
Select the language and region you’ve just join a membership.
Then you can see the latest WM6 ROM of that language.
HTC provides this rapid download website to customers
due to that the official websites often got stuck when
the WM6 first released in July.
You can join the membership in the www.htc.com website
then go to this rapid download website to log in and enjoy.
I have log in all the different regions and languages that HTC provided.
Only the Taiwan (Chinese) version has the latest radio
ROM of 1.50.08.11.
As you can see in the shortcuts below.
I wonder if you can use the Taiwan (Chinese) version
since you might not buy the CHT9110 in Taiwan.
Please note that the Hard-SPL, CID unlocker or SSPL-TRIN couldn’t work for P3600i.
Please also note that all the wm6 roms are for d810, p3600 or cht9100.
But until now I can get the cht9100 wm6 rom work perfectly for my cht9110,
nice exploit!!!
here is the direct link to the firmware...
http://210.64.124.194/download/CHT9100_TWN_WM6_Upgrade_20070705.zip
Thks for information, I got CHT9110, and have up to latest ROM, but any one can help that I need to flash to WWE (ebglish) Rom, as mention above Hard SPL,CID unlock or any other utility I search and found here can not help to change the rome to English..waiting for help.
to be frank,i won't buy it

For people who are currently using CHT9100, P3600 or D810,
I suggest them to keep using~
it's not very necessary to change from CHT9100 to CHT9110.
But if you are planning to buy Trinity
or your Trinity is broken or got lost,
you are suggested to buy CHT9110
for the following two reasons.
1) CPU speed is promoted by 25%~comparing under the same brand.
2) The flash ROM is doubled~total 256MB, about 168MB available for storage.
That means you don't have to worry about
not enough space for installing progarms in the future.
4) The Extended ROM of CHT9110 (or P3600i,
D810x) has write-back design:
I found a way to mount the Extended ROM and

Any ideas on how to flash the extended rom?
I'm guessing that we'd need to complie a new NBH with the desired programs.
I'm using 3600i , and waiting for cooking rom

wow, I got it now. and may consider updating it next time when my system hanged. I just got my HK version P3600i one month ago, and in satisfactory performance. Just see if it is worth the while updating the Radio. But will see.
Thank you very much for this leak....
I can get that rom for taiwan site too
thanks
but I dare not flash it as I want to backup the existing rom first.....
there's no method to backup the rom yet.......
I will keep noticing if someone works out the solution for us. I 'll post it here once the solution come out.

Are you currently using an English Rom? The Rom and Radio listed in your Signature matches mine exactly. And mine is the AUS WWE Rom. And if that's the case, can the others in this post flash this rom to their P3600i's?

I have tried many times with 100 of programes to unhide and unlock the extended rom in my Trinity and windows Moible 6 (bepe's newest version).
But i can't see the extended Rom . Has someone a tool who can do this?
The Registry keys are always there and "MountHidden is = 0

Are you sure it has one? It might be a Big Storage ROM.
huh no i'm not shure...
I've saw thats theres a anti-theft programm names IIWPO.
In the Installation Guide i have to put it into the extended ROM. How can i install it without the extended Rom? I can install it by windows, but after a Hardreset it will be ereased too isn't it?

True but for that you need an extended ROM. From what I know, bepe's last ROM does not have an extended part.
But you might ask him about this.
Also, from what I know, IIWPO is for Wizard, so you might check on info regarding Trinity compatibility.
ok thanks for the answers. I'm new with this windows mobile phones
Do you know an other Program like IIWPO?
Try Ultimate Theft Alert v3.5 and W.I.M.P. Both have ability to track via GPS when your phone gets stolen as well.
