Hi All,
first of all... if this question is being asked at the wrong place.. please let me know ;-)
Well.. i have a question.. I have a daxian x999 and want to upgrade the OS.. The OS on this device isn't fast and can be quite unstable sometimes..
anyone can tell me how i can upgrade this device?? I'm a complete newbie on this one.. so any help would be appreciated..
thanks!!!
no one has a clue??
Rom
hi there!
the problem with the daxian x999 is, that until now no one managed to extract the bootloader!
i tried almost every software i found here... no success!
i was able to extract the rom, but that doesn´t help too much
and another thing that is very sad, is that no one from the "knowing Guys" here is interested in helping us!!!
there was just one senior member trying to help me... (thanx again the_eqionoxe!!!)
i expected some more help from a forum with that much experience...
regards
chuckbert
You say you were able to extract the rom, please share how you did this ....

Sorry i found it in the very next search
As far as I know it should be presented in the form of a imgfs file (can be cooked by any kitchen). (*but I am not 100 % shure, I don't have a daxian to experiment with)
But I am unaware about the XIP format .
If we had a look @ a original update.img then we could say how it was compiled, and hopefully port other rom's to it.
any have yep put 6.1 on this phone?
I have a daxian x999 but its in chinese & if i cant get it exchanged will want to change the windows rom to an english one - cant find the english rom though (& need to learn how to do it too lol)
I used SPB backup to restore my data, and stopped it midway, now my power button does not turn on the screen. So I have to wait for a phone call to come in for the screen to come on.
Anyone know if I use an editor for registery if there is a place to turn this back on.
Thanks, if not, then I will start to research how to get deeper into the phone, as it is useless to me know.

Have u tried a soft reset?????? or maybe a "master clean up" as it is called on the phone???
also if someone here is going deep into the phone, can some1 figure out how to 'manage' the accelerometer for the current application/settings of it seem pretty dull... i don't know if it helps, but the process which rotates the screen is called acc_ap and you can find it in the start up folder
Yes, I tried the soft reset, memory clear, and hard 3-button reset, no joy.
nobody tried with pdocwrite as MUN_rus has done with HTC wizard G4??
WARNING This device needs OTHER drivers than a HTC ELF(in), so make sure you cook a ROM with the proper drivers!!.
You can probably dump the rom by the reverse command pdocread..
Haven't tried it myself, as I have stated before, I have no daxian 999 to experiment with myself..

Hi there, new guy here and with a big problem
i have a bluemedia pda 255, from what i understand it's the same thing with mio 168 (or not?), anyway, it was using a windows mobile 2003 SE in german and i tried to change it to english using a .bin image i found on the web.
now when it starts all i see is a white screen and nothing more, and that wouldnt be such a big problem if i could enter the upgrade tools mode, but i cant do that either, so it simply stays all blank all the time. I can connect it to my pc via usb and i can browse all the pda's files using activesync, but that's all i can do.
Before i started i've made a backup using activesync and another backup using osloader. Now i've tried the activesync backup and i get an error message telling me that the backup version is different from the one on the pocket pc.
The .ppcrom file that i've made using osloader i dont know how to use it to restore my old OS withouth having to access the pda (sience i cant).
from what i understand, there is a way to fix it using JTAG, but that's science fiction to me (i only had this pda for about two days, and this is my first pda also, so i'm a real newbie), i cant find any sort of professional service in this town to get help from them.
so... any help, any help at all would be welcomed
...is there nobody?
Hi,
I do not have the pda you have but do have some advice.
You keep saying "from what i understand" , did you get this "understanding" from this site or another?
If you got it here, please post your problem to the forum thread that has the info.
If you got it elsewhere, you may want to post there and see what response you can get.
Not trying to be cavalier here but a person can only help if they have had the experience of the pda you own, if they do not, they most likely will not post advice.
Good luck.
well. no... my understanding did not came from here, i have it from a thread started in 2005 (other site)and i asked there also, i also agree that someone can help only if he has the experience of this pda...
which is more likely why i find myself in this situation, i think i followed the upgrade guide from another pda
and about the advice, sience at this moment all i can do with the pda is to throw it at the garbage, im willing to try anything on it
id even try the jtag thingie, that requires me to open up the pda and mess around inside, but i have a great lack of info about the subject and no expertise whatsoever
kind thanks for your advices, as i said before, they are welcomed!
ok, something else then, does anyone have the RUU? the rom update utility in german for my kind of ppc? thanks
I have the same problem !

Read the User Manual, there you can see how to do a HARD RESET to let your TOUCH as new.

Thanks a lot User22, your guidance really worked, it is again virgin now...
but i am not able to understand one thing when all the executables were corrupted then how come it is able restore all the factory default, is it already having copy of initial files somewhere.
No everything is in the ROM, and always will. Your software changes stay in a user writable area, that are erased when doing a hard reset, thus leaving the original stuff in ROM.
Hey there,
After lots of problems with my P3300 (see this thread), I've decided to flash it to see if that helps. I'm not too bothered about getting the GSM working again as I have another phone, but I'd like to be able to run all apps again.
So... I'd like some advice please.
What would be the best ROM for me to use if I just want to use the phone as a GPS device, portable wifi web browser and notepad?
Basically something pretty stripped down with as good battery life as possible.
Is there any advantage with going for WM6 over WM5?
Bear in mind I've never done this before and am currently reading up on all of it.
From what I've read so far I'll have to do the CID unlock first (currently have WM5 in french installed and would like an english ROM)? I think it may be unlocked already but am not sure. Is there a way to check? Do I risk anything if I run USPL even though the phone is already unlocked?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
You can check if your phone is CID unlocked if the SPL number which comes up while booting during the big white HTC screen says 1.11.0000. If it says anything other than that then it's not unlocked.
Best stripped rom for me is Sheen's clean base version 3. Check it out, it's on the first page of the thread.
alternatively, if u want fast and stripped, go for yues extraclean (see my signature)

Thanks for the replies. My SPL says 1.12.0000 so I guess I need to do the CID unlock.
Ferfecir Build 20931 looks like the most promising from those.
Can anyone please point me to a good tutorial for flashing the ROM via activesync? I'd rather not have to format the memory card if I can avoid it and my soft reset button is broken. (I have serached but had no luck)
Thanks!
download uspl from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
and any rom you want...
unpack the uspl
plug the cable in the device and establish a usb connection
run the "start_uspl.exe" be patient...after being prompted to click some "next buttons" follow the procedure...and i mean it...follow the procedure...that with 50% battery,no programs running on the pc,no unplugging the cable and so on...
and you will have the uspl flashed
go to boot loader...The bootloader is invoked by pressing down the Power and Voicedialer buttons simultaneously, and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the left side. Continue pressing the two buttons for a few seconds after pressing and releasing the reset button until the bootloader screen appears.
if uspl says 1.11.000 then you are good to go
now you can flash any rom (cooked for artemis) and any artemis radio (i recommend you the 3.34.90.) onto your artemis
simply download,extract,run the rom update utility (RUU) ,follow the procedure and watch the show...
if you ever get an error during flash or anywhere else in the rom update utility...refer to this page and troubleshoot your troubles http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RUU_Errors
if you get an error saying invalid file size or something like that (you will get it if you try eg this rom..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=465291)
go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521406 download the file and flash it if it is an ordinary rom...just run the RUU
afterwards just check it in the bootloader if it says 1.11.cmon it is ok....and you will be able to flash virtually any rom cooked for artemis onto yours
i must be damn crazy to post this thing...because it is all there in the wiki and the forum stickies,believe it or not
Thank you very much for the detailed instructions.
Just two more questions!
My reset button is broken. Can I just turn the phone off and back on to check if I have 1.11.0000 instead of using the bootloader?
And the RUU is this one? http://code.google.com/p/htc-flasher/downloads/list (only file I have for the new Ferfecir ROM is a .nbh, is that all I need?)
Thanks again.
this is a very open-ended question.
Everyone on here will have their own favourite rom....if there was 1 definate fits-all "best" rom ...everyone would be using it..but there isnt and we are all using the rom that suits us best
some people want their phone to be more like an iPod and so the multimedia aspect is a priority along with decent graphics and animated menus
some people want the PDA functionality most so they want a really stripped-down fast rom that is reliable and handles email well
everyone wants to use it their own way....thats why this site exists.
The guys who make these ROMS are the guys who say "this is good, but i want it to be more like THIS."
Follow farukb's (excellent) instructions....unlock your device properly....if you get any problems, search for the answer before asking for help....chances are hundreds of people will have had the same problem and hundreds of people will have already given the answer...and then ....just look around the site. See which roms are available that fit YOUR needs, and flash it....if you dont like it, try another.
I'm trying 6.5 roms at the moment and love it....i've flashed it probably once a week with a new ROM each time a new version is released and have seen the OS evolve....right now i'd say PDhee's Mega 6.5 M2D rom is the best of the bunch providing you're not planning on installing LOTS of exra programs.
that's the beauty of these things, if you dont like the ROM, just try another. Sometimes the ROM won't work quite right (especially if flashing ROMs between different cooks) so just try flashing it again to make sure it resets everythin correctly. If it's still not right, try a different ROM.

yeah, unfortunately (and it seems to have increased over the last year or so) nost people on here are noobs who can't be bothered to read through some threads or use the search and we just get the same questions asked constantly.
I dont minds helping people....providing they've looked for the answer themselves first.
every time a new rom is released there will be people asking what error 260 or 270 means?, do they need to USPL? etc etc
it's easier to ask someone else to take time out of their day to aswer your question than just type "error 260" into the search box and find out for yourself. They dont consider that people are having to answer these questions 10 times a week, in their own time, for no thanks, just to have the same question asked the next day. Purely becuase they couldn't be bothered to see if anyone else has asked that question before.
sorry...rant over....i love you all

no
you need to use the reset button (stick the stylus in the reset hole) .
Reset is like turning your computer off and on again
Power button is like turning the monitor off....it doesnt stop programs running and it doesnt properly reboot the device.
Your only alternative is taking the batter out i think (just like pulling the plug out will also reboot your computer).
If you havent already run USPL, then you probably WILL need to do it.
i dont know the specific ROM you're talking about, but just an NBH file will NOT work. You need the EXE file to run it.
Just download any suitable ROM off this site and it will have the whole package....if you're downloading from another site you'll have to ak that other site for help
my reset button doesn't work. i took the phone apart to change the touchscreen and must have misaligned something when putting it back together. sticking the stylus in the hole doesn't do anything anymore. will take the battery out instead, thanks.
regarding the rom, it is one i downloaded from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=531972&highlight=ferfecir
the rar file downloaded from 4share (http://www.4shared.com/file/112067347/72728603/ARTEIMG-Ferfecir_-_20931_en_gncel_hali.html) only contains the nbh, no exe.
and for the record, i've spent all afternoon/evening researching this, searching this forum and the wiki etc! i appreciate it's annoying answering the same noob questions over and over again but i thought my thread was specific enough to warrant it and am grateful for all the replies.

...yeah, and if you read ferfercirs description fully, you will come past "sd-card-flashing" which is the way to flash the *.nbh -part of your rom in a way without needing an activesync connecton
greetz
i did read that bit
but as mentioned a couple of times in this thread already, my reset button is not operational so i cannot use bootloader (afaik). so i assumed there was another way.
but i guess i'll find a rom that comes an an exe and save myself some trouble
no need to keep searching,
u can simple take the provided *.nbh file that came without an exe, rename it to ruu_signed.nbh, exchange the existing RUU from a complete installer-routine and off u go, provided u have used uspl first
greetz
ok thank you once again, i'll try it tonight.
one final question! do i need to have a sim card inserted while running USPL or does it not matter?
It is recommended to remove both your SIM card and your MicroSD card during any type of flashing, whether it be USPL or ROM. Even my reset button is not working anymore, my phone got dropped in water and I had to give it for repairs. After motherboard change they assembled it slightly wrong I guess, and it doesn't work. But I can still get into bootloader by just pressing the Voice record and power buttons together for 10 seconds. Try that.
Secondly, I hate to be plugging myself here, but I have just cooked a clean 6.1 ROM myself, with the latest build of 6.1 that is 21054. you might want to check that out, it comes with the full package and not just the nbh
here it is - (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551728)
Again, sorry, but Im giving you an option thats all

ok i need help again sorry! i tried this but i got an error after 5% saying the .nbh was an invalid size
i used the ROMUpdateUtility.exe from Arte_WM65_23009_M2D_Mega_beta1 ROM (i removed Arte_WM65_23009_Mega_b1.nbh from the folder and replaced it with Ferfecir's .nbh which I had renamed to ruu_signed.nbh)
What did I do wrong?
I ended up flashing with Arte_WM65_23009_Mega_b1.nbh and it worked great but that ROM is too much for me and I want Ferfecir's simpler one.
Thanks
You need to flash the newer USPL which allows nbh files of a smaller size to be flashed.
thanks! it worked. everything working perfectly and my gsm works again too. woohoo.
hii
i got the following problem: i usually uses a custom rom but now i got a stock rom. i flashed 7 roms last 2 days for the following reason: after i installed a rom (i have hard spl1.40) the rom works perfectly but when i go and install my cabs theres gonna be a problem: the cab will install, i can play around for some 15 minutes with my diamond and then the phone freezes and i need to do a soft reset. NOW the diamond stuck at the diamond screen with red letters. i can do a hard reset etc. but this is very annoying!! please help me! it happenend with ezinput cab too. i dont know why it happens!! heeeeeelp xD!
EDIT: the small cabs from small size works perfectly but it are mostly big cabs like ezinput etc..
sounds like your device in in desperate need of this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540290&highlight=mtty
If you perform mtty (which is basically a format tool) before flashing any rom most of this weird problems disappear.
but i dont understand mtty its sooo hard.
and it even happens with an stock rom (official)
isnt that weird?
i was very resistent to use mtty too, cuz i thought it was so complicated i couldn't get my head around it. But after i had to give it a try (i screwed up someone elses diamond very bad ), i found out it wasn't as hard as i thought, just read carefully and keep in mind that it is only a tool to format your device so you can perform a fresh install on it (in puter terms...format C drive and install Windows).
Mtty even reports back that it tries to erase bad blocks, just like checkdisk from Windows does
The fact that it happens now with a stock rom is not that weird, cuz your 'Cdrive' is 'outta shape' (cuz of flashing different roms of different sizes taking up different spaces)., and really needs to be formatted.
Give it a go...your device is practically useless now to so whata you gotta loose...lol...no, sorry just a joke!
heey man. i did mtty and it was sooo easy eheh. i did it.
i finished all the mtty stuff and i flashed a new rom.
i am now going to install all my cabs xD.
But what do i have to do if it didnt worked?
i just flashed this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=506533
did someone used it too?
gave it problems??
thanks nirak
EDIT: I THINK ITS SOLVED!! BUT IM NOT SURE YET! if there is appearing a problem again i wil post it here!!
THANKS TO NIRAK AND MYSTICGENIUS FOR THE MTTY **** xD
PS: Nirak can i have your msn? im dutch too^^
hehe...glad it worked out!
well, at first glance the bug report of this rom looks very promising , haven't had this one on my diamond, but makereval is an old (as in experienced) cook, so i wouldn't worry to much.
btw...if mtty would have given an error this community would have helped you out, esp MysticGenius (owner of mtty thread) is the 'god of mtty' and always willing to help if you get stuck.
Nevertheless there's always a small change that we (as in noobs...lol...) brick our device so we have to send it to diamonds heaven...but he...what's life without a thrill every now and then
hehe ok,
can i have your msn?^^

You should post this in the NRG ROM thread, or even better the "Flashing ROM for NOOBs", you will get more support there. Also, list your current ROM. If you have hard SPL then all you need to do is download the NRG ROM, extract it from the 7-zip archive, and put both the files in a folder. Connect your phone via activesync, and then execute the custom RRU exe program. I have flashed several times.
You don't say what errors you are getting - people need as much information as possible.
@ Lennyz1988
thanks but the page you sent me would be one of those text files, explanations, etc that I already read a million times and isn't specific enough for me
one of the main problems is that when documents explain unzipping, unraring, etc, MOST (not always) of the time they never state specifically to where it must be unzipped/unrarred: to the computer desktop? a specific folder in the phone's memory? the sd card?
however, i did hard spl my phone, when i enter bootloader mode it does show the olinix thing on it, so is this the rom number i need to list?? does it have anything to do with rom?
@ stevedebi, isn't the rom number i listed the one that's needed? what other info is needed as i don't think there is anymore info i can get off my phone that i didn't list, but being a noob please explain away so i can get this straight
*~*~*~*~ wait, i think u mean this...it has the 6.5 rom that it came with when i bought it...is that what you're looking for??

With the HARD SPL you now can use custom roms because youre TP2 is not Vendor locked anymore ;-)

no offense...but what does this mean?
For example, I go to NRGZ28's ROM page. I've already hard spl-ed my phone. Check.
Next, I unzip (just 5minutes ago) the 7z file that comes with the customruu.exe and try to set it up on my phone. Fail.

Since you took the time to post your problem on THIS forum, please respond with WHAT you actually did to fix your issue. It is kinda not cool to get everyone to help you, then when you solve your issue, just say problem solved and not say what you did. No offense, not bashing you, just let everyone else know what worked to fix your issue.

PROBLEM SOLVED! SOLUTION BELOW:
i guess i never actually extracted the folder like i thought i had already done - PLUS i also moved to a separate folder to keep it apart from ALL other rom's i was trying to flash
