Asus P525 Expert, Please Help!! - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi, I had try to update the new Extended ROM Version V1.8.3 in Traditional Chinese for my Asus P525 (Traditional Chinese vision), but the firmware does not execute automatically, even though I try execute the Autorum.ext under the folder, it still won't execute. I had been successful upgade to WM6 before, everything works fine. But now, I can't update, Please kindly help me with this issue. Thank you in advance.

Where did you get it?
Official ROMs does not have such thing as "Extension ROM update". Extension ROM gets updated with main ROM update.
p.s. I realize that you may be trying to upgrade the Extension ROM of P525 using a HTC Extension ROM, it is not possible!

Hi, I am sorry for the mistype of rom. I had download the newest vision from TW/ASUS that they release on 12/31/2007, however, I just can't get the Autorum.ext auto start, Please kindly help.
p.s. I had follow the steps on Asus website and all of the update so far at my P525 are from the Asus website as well. But once I click the Autorum.ext, it only shows 自動更新程式 on the top, then nothing happen. I don't see the question 要更新裝置韌體嗎? as they explain on their website.

Hey guys,
I've just picked up a french P535 while on holiday here in France. Has anyone tried flashing the WWE ROM to a non-English phone? I'm afeared of bricking my device, but my English is much better than my française, and it would be nice to have the device in English.
I've decided to just grab my cajones and go for it.
I've installed the 4.3.0 worldwide boot ROM firmware and that was happy, then downloaded the P525 cooked ROMs to get the ASUS language unlock utility, and ran that. It reported my country code as 420c (France) and proceded to unlock the device, so all should be well. I'm downloading the Malaysian WWE 4.3.15 firmware now, and will report back with how it goes once it's on the phone.
Wish me luck!
(for some reason I'm only getting 5kb/s off ASUS' ftp server, so could be 30 mins or so...)
Ok, update...
The WWE firmware won't apply using the ASUS autoupdater. I'm able to get into the bootloader flasher by holding Power-Record-Camera and hitting reset, but it complains about not finding ROMGalaxyII.nb0.
I understand that this is the decrypted version of the ROM update, but I don't know how to get that from the WWE firmware I have. Is anyone able to help me work this out?
Thanks in advance.
couldnt you use the p525romtool -d command as explained in the p525 rom cooking thread

No as apparently the ROM structure, however I've just found out you can flash the 535 roms using the 525 patched Autorun.exe, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284379 for details if anyone is interested in upgrading their 535.
Did you try falshing with this patched autorun?
That's what I mean yeah, I have a P535 I bought in France, I've now got a WWE ROM on it after using the patched autorun. All it does is hand the ROM to the BIOS's bootloader flash program, bypassing the region check the official one does.
Allright I will try too.
I live in france but I have all my IT in english, plus I use qwerty KB.
Thanks for the heads up, I ll report soon.
Well, I did try the update and it worked. I don t think I would have found the trick of putting a galaxy.cap with the hacked autorun the bypass the langage check without you/pntzamaras.
Now I have the qwerty kb and consistent language on my device!
I hope they release a french ROM someday so I could sell it to fund my next purchase

Sorry but could you explain all the steps you followed to reach this successful upgrade?
Sure:
1) Download the sorg p525 cooked rom in the forum thread.
2)Download the p535 ROM.
3)Extract the p535 ROM and the p525 archive
4)Replace in the 535 ROM the autorun.exe by the one in the p525 archive.
5)Put the unlocklangID.exe utility in the same dir as the autorun you just overwrited.
6)Rename GalaxyII.cap to Galaxy.cap and put another copy of galaxyII.cap in the same folder (ie: instead of having just GalaxyII.cap you have the same file twice, named GALAXY.cap and GalaxyII.cap)
7)Put the 535 rom where you replaced the autorun on the SD card.
At this point you should have on your SD card the 2577 folder with autorun and unlocklangid.exe, and in the root, GalaxyII.cap and GALAXY.cap.
8)Insert Card and run the unlocklangdID utility.
9)Run the autorun, it should say the update is ok for your device, click file-update.
10)After you reset the flash utility appears and the device begins flashing, it takes around 5 min.
PERFECT !!!
Thanks you so much !!
hi, thanks so much for posting the solution.
on a side note, how long does it usually take for the P535 to connect to a WPA-PSK AES encrypted network?
it used to be fast before i changed to the WWE interface as per the instructions, but now the phone seems to be stuck in the authentication stage and will not be assigned an IP address by the router.
although when i turned off the wireless security, i was still able to connect to my unsecured network quickly.

Which ROM on my Asus P535 ???

Hi!
Some days ago I have bought an Asus P535.
The S.O.'s language is ITALIAN....well, I have understand how change it to WWE....however, I don't understand Which ROM I can use !
On the Asus's site, there are the only (newest) firmware that I have found:
V4.3.25 (ONLY for Hong Kong user) - 47mb
V4.3.25 (ONLY for Taiwan user) - 47mb
...where is an WWE rom ???
P.s.

yes.
I haven't upgraded the rom myself, but I have installed that phone firmware upgrade on an australian rom.
And no, I don't know where to get the australian rom - the shop installed it for me and refused to give me a copy.
I found:
P535_V4315_WWE_TH00.rar
and
V4315_WWE_MS00.rar
which one is the newest??
try using an ftp client.
an alternative ftp site, which has the same files:
ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/IA/P535
ok tnks....however,
which one is the newest??
Tnks again!
the one with the highest version number
That would be 4.3.15 for the wwe version.
There's a couple of roms with 4.3.35 version but those are for taiwan and hongkong.
I've seen someone mention that the russian (RU) version has some russian rubbish that you do not want/need, so I suggest you go for the thailand (TH) or malaysia (MS) version.
I have never tried to change rom myself, so I am afraid I am unable to help you if you run into trouble. But please post your results, I want to try it at some point.
so....
TH = Thailand
and
MS = Malesia
????
Both are in english/WWE ???
As I said, I have not done this upgrade myself.
Read the thread I linked to above. It should answer a few questions.
But as I understand it, both of these are WWE yes.

So far in this forum the ROM upgrade was academic.
Here is reality
My P535 is bricked!!
During Rom Update (following all the rules as posted) The process stopped.
It gets stuck on the start menu (Asus Screen).
The Hard reset does not work. ( Reset + Power button).
I can get to the bootloader screen (Power button + right mike(?) button+Reset)
and it just shows a screen with the waiting on.
Anyboby , can you help. Can I do hard reset another way?
It seems that ASUS offers the Rom Update if your ASUS P 535 is running and from the Mini sd card.
All the other Phone PDAs I had before (Qtek 100,s200, O2 atom, HP rw 6828. HTC (Dopod m700) P3300, HTC (Dopod D810) P3600 the bootloader did get the ROM Update file from the PC while in Activ Sync with the USB port. The bootloader in the ASUS products works differently.It does look for the usb connection but the ROM is in the miniSD. Am I doing something wrong?
Can someone point out the error of my ways?
Thanks in advance
I'm sorry to hear that. Very sorry.
I don't know if you did anything wrong. I also have an I-mate K-Jam (HTC Wizard) and it seems easy to recover from a failed upgrade on the wizard.
I haven't seen similar stories about the P535, so don't (yet) know a way to recover from a failed upgrade on the P535. But I will let you know if I find/read about a way to do it.
Maybe you could try contacting the author of the only "homebrew" ROM I know about - his webpage is here: http://norad.shacknet.nu/lifeforce/ and he has a feedback-form for bug reports. He is probably much more experienced with rom updates than I am, so it's worth a try.
(he has also posted an announement for his homebrew rom on xda-dev here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1235311)
I thought the hard reset combo was up+reset...
Maybe it only works if the OS is running - I don't know.
I had an idea:
I tried using the p525 rom tools (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284379) to extract "RomGalaxy.NB0" from GalaxyII.cap, and I managed to extract it:
C:\P525RomTool11>P525RomTool.exe -d GalaxyII.cap
ASUS P525 ROM Tool 1.1
Converting ... DONE, to ROMGalaxy.NB0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But - I have read that the p525 rom tools don't work on p535 roms (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284379&page=7) - so I don't know if this NB0 file is useless/has the wrong checksum or whatever...
If you want you can try the rest of the procedure (I don't dare trying on my own phone):
- flash this NB0 file via the bootloader as it's described (in step 6) in the p525 thread I mentioned above:
Flash ROMGalaxy.NB0 via bootloader (copy it to SD card root, press "camera" fully, press reset).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Maybe there's another button combo you have to press on the P535 - Maybe the one you use on your P535 to get into the bootloader - I don't know, I'm just guessing.
Maybe the NB0 file needs to have another name - ROMGalaxyII.NB0? I don't know this either.
I guess this wasn't much help... Let's hope someone more experienced than me can come up with something better...
I downloaded that homebrew rom I mentioned: http://norad.shacknet.nu/lifeforce/ today.
It comes with the following install procedure:
Flashing:
1. Disable USB ActiveSync.
2. Push Off button + rec. button + nav. up + reset 5sec.
3. connect the PDA to PC
4. Start AsusUpdateROM.cmd
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Which means it does not install from an SD card.
Try that one, see if it works.

I don't know if the russian rom has russian menu.
I've seen someone mention that it is mostly english with a few russian add-ons.
But I'm not sure - maybe asus russian website (if it exists) can tell you if the russian p535 has russian or english menus?

It is WWE with some russian add-on, but 99% of the ROM is in english. On the other hand, the device's extrom contains a language extender (in my case this is Hungarian), and it installs during the first booting process along with some network settings. I believe that the russian P535's has the same LENg (of course with russian language).
Read my siggie (signature)...
So where do we stand

I have the same issue. I have a german Asus P535 and looks like nobody has a solution to change the language.
Anybody interested in exchangin a german phone agianst French or English ?

What should you do:
1) READ THE ENTIRE THREAD OF THE ROM BEFORE FLASHING (IF THERE IS BETA SIGN!!!!
2) you can either keep it - it will work if you take off the SIM card and Hard reset the device, then turn off automatic time update from network AND do not try to synchronize the device via AS (taht way the device will know the correct time and block itself again)
3) Flash any other ROM - you do not need Active sync to be working to flah a ROM, just put your device into Bootloader, plug the usb cable and if the bootloader says USB you can flash whatever ROM you want. If you want WM6.1 you can use PDA viet ROM (works without time bomb, but it is not very stable).
The PDA Viet WM6.1 works great after setting PagePool to 6mb instead of the default 4mb. Before doing that, it was extremely buggy and unstable.

It telling you what it says .. Image file is corrupt so try a different ROM, like a factory rom for your device.
And did you read the wiki recommending to flashed Hard-SPL on your Hermes before flashing any radio or ROM?
yes i read any.
But i suppose there are problem because i have the same problem with diffrents roms... I 'm trying to resolve the problem...
after few pourcents, it restart and tell this messages
I tried 6 or 7 roms and 1 official, no way to install.
All rom tell me at 1% that the image rom is corrupt. Before it worked but since the WM6 , no way.
The official rom tell me at 1% that the vender id is invalid...
I don't know what doing...

Well did you flash Hard-SPL on it first before flashing any ROM?
You might have to try flashing from SD card now since you can't flash it via usb. It explained in the wiki.

how to manage the official ROM (galaxy.cap) to .nb0 ROM for asus P525

how to manage the official ROM (galaxy.cap) to .nb0 ROM?
i have p525 original rom in english v.3.43 and i downgraded the radio virsion to v.6.
i want to install the original rom in Hebrew but i get this error message "Extended ROM update cannot be applied to this region's virsion!"
i understood that i need to manage the official ROM to .nb0 ROM,
i did it and installed the ROM but it didnt ask me about installing hebrew support as it asked in the past when i updated the rom virsion.
can any1 help me?
thank you very much!
in the REGIONAL SETTING i didnt see ISRAEL so i installed the VIVI's cab and now i have it and its on ISRAEL but again when i want to install the original rom from asus (v3.43 in HEBREW) i get again this error message:
"Extended ROM update cannot be applied to this region's virsion!"
Do you get this error message after you flashed (3.43) successfully and restarted? Or is that the message the bootloader spills out?
Before you downgraded to 3.43 again, did you run the ASUS.UnlockLangId.exe? If you didn't do that you may still have the wrong language ID set.
To convert the cap-file to nb0, run P525RomTool -d Galaxy.cap. But I guess you've already done that.
Itay , run this before flashing your selfmade nb0 .

good luck .
thanks man!

hi dinko,
you can start the changing by installing a full rom called "mirage PDXHH1" (wm 6.0); it's a 128 dpi, english naturally, and it isn't really very recent.
after then you can decide to install an official upgrade (wm 6.1) by using the link of samsung at http://www.samsungmobile.com/support/i780/index.jsp or by a cooked rom. in this second way you must have XP and you need:
1. the mirage software http://rapidshare.com/files/110283700/Mirage_LV_v1.8.rar
2. driver samsung http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...26233621765_MCCI_WHQL_Modem_Driver_4.38.5.exe
3. install activesync
bye
I tried to go at http://www.samsungmobile.com/support/i780/index.jsp before updating my phone. I entered UK as country, XP as windows version and then I entered PDXHH1 which is the version you described. It says that version if wrong

PDXHL2.If you search on this forum you'll find the official updater, to use it just flash your pda part with a hl2 based rom via mirage and than run the official updater.
i already have PDA ROM PDXHL2 but when I try to update with official updater it says incorrect version. Btw, my PHONE ROM is DXHH1.
Any idea?
Are you using the hl2 updater or another official updater?

if you have a dxhh1 and you want to install a pda part L2 (?) you have to flash with "mirage" only . open this sw, click on "pda" button and choose the rom you have to install.
bye
problem solved.
i was using bv official updater
now i downloaded hl2 and it is fine.
