New Unversal ROM T-Mobile Germany with AKU2

T-Mobile Germany has released a new ROM (AKU2-Update). I Have Uploaded it to the ftp-Server (Filename: TMOB_DEU_pro_aku2.0_05-2006.zip).
Works fine with my MDA Pro. AKU2 works with Exchange and the speed (I think) its faster.
I have no problems.
ROM Version: 1.30.113 GER
ROM Datum: 04/13/2006
Radio Version: 1.10.03
Protokoll-version: 42.44.P8
ExtRom-version: 1.30.223 GER

The spec's look good,
Do you know if I can have this on my English T-Mobile Pro? Will I be able to set the language to English? Will I still be able to have QWERT*Y*UIP along the top, or is the Y moved?.
Cheers!!

Thank you so much, for this hint. Just downloading it. Do you know if A2DP is included in this Image?
Yes, it supports A2DP .... I have tested it!

BE CAREFUL - NEW BOOTLOADER
If you are waiting for an unlocking solution, DO NOT DO THIS UPGRADE. It contains a new version of the Universal Bootloader, which could make unlocking in the future impossible.

No, the Roms normally only contain one language at a time. Unfortunately you have to wait for the english one to be released. But once the german one is released, all other language versions should come very shortly.

skip bootloader-upgrade
I wonder whether it is possible to skip the bootloader-upgrade (bl.nbf) and just load the OS & EXTROM.
Anyone have an idea if this will harm the operation/stability of the device?

skip bootloader-upgrade
I installed it without upgrading the BL, no Probs!
Start Update without connecting your Device and loook into your Temp Directory, there is a new EXE-File - copy to somewhere, stop the Update and run this new EXE!
The new ROM looks fine but
- how do I get back the Wireless-Tab on Today-Screen
- how do I get back the original (green and blue) DialPad-Skin
- can I reconfigure the T-Mobile Today-PlugIn

I can answer the Wireless bit...
Wireless Today item
Add the following keys to the registry (Confirmed to work on AKU2 ROMs)
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Wireless"]

Sorry for the stupid question, but which temp directory? The hidden one below my user data?
And what's the name of the exe?

RE: skip bootloader-upgrade
With German Windows XP:
c:\dokumente und einstellungen\BENUTZER\lokale einstellungen\temp\pftxx.tmp\UNI_TMDE_130113_130223_11003_GER_Ship.exe
"Benutzer" is the Account you are logged in
pftxx.tmp -> xx is changing everytime you run the update...

Re: RE: skip bootloader-upgrade
...or just extract the .EXE file with Winrar (in fact it's an archive with some program stuffed in front of it).

Definietely not. T-Mobile says on the download page (in German) that an AKU2 upgrade which is compatible with BB will be out in July.
Sorry & Greetings,
Andreas

Hello there,
installed the update 2 days ago - everything was working fine, surfing around, testing A2DP, WLAN, etc.
...but since yesterday i can not connect to the internet aymore.
It dials in via UMTS/GPRS, connects but nothing more. MyIpConfig.exe says:
Adapter Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00
IP Address: 172.21.30.136
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway: 172.21.30.136 <-?? the device itself is the default gateway??
DNS-Servers: 193.254.160.130
193.254.160.1
...rest is empty
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Has anyone from germany a clou why/if these settings are incorrect? Anyone else the same problem?
Can someone not using aku2 post his network-settings when dialed in?
I tried reinstalling update and resetting device several times, when updating setup leaves information about currently installed versions of radio, ce and rom empty...is this the usual way?
«edit»
got it now working. The Problem was the germen resellerdebitel, who changed the dns-IP. Very kind of them don't telling anyone about the changes.

I just unlocked my Universal and now I'd like to upgrade my rom to the new T-Mobile rom because mine is from August last year. So my question is: will the phone still be unlocked after the reflash - if not can I reunlock it?
Is there any easy rom extractor available?
Thanks.

upgrading WM5 on asus a632n (636, 632, 636n)

hi all!
i have my pda asus 632n in Chiniess language, need to change it to english at least. the pda's rom is V03.0616.00 CHS 0804. Red big ammount of forums, but those advices which were found don't fit new rom v.30616. On support.asus.com there are some roms for asus 632, but more older version (v.30607) Tried to hack upgrade tool.exe as some people offered, but nothing solved.
For info: the last rom for such as asus 63x goes with two files Update.cap 38,1 mb and Upgrade Tool.exe 19,5 kb. The last one is a romloader - checks language, version of current pda's rom before upgrade. The solution of upgrade is: format SD to FAT, put files above into root of prepared SD, plug SD into pda, execute upgrade tool.exe
When i do such way without hacking upgrade tool.exe, i'm told as language not match! if i hack upgrade tool.exe, then there is "your version is more older then pda's one" on the screen.
There was the thread in http://www.wormholecreations.com.au/wc/megabbs/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=3969&start=81&posts=99, followed right direction of this topic, but it's holded for now
According to my expirience and words of others there is two ways to solve the problem:
1. Wait until new rom upgrade from asus support for v.30616 (may takes much time)
2. hack upgrade tool.exe to remove notice about version
Anyway, does anybody have expirience in hacking plz help to resolve the problem. I guess there are many people who you would help to!

any news, guys?

For all, who might be interested.
weltom's problem now solved, but it was a little tricky
It should be no problem to flash to english from russian or to polish from german, etc, just follow link above.
Erorrs may occure with chineese firmware and may be some other asian ROMs due to different file structure for such ROM-images.

Can you make it work with the latest update? The one that upgrades to WM6.
Thank you!

I'm receiving a lot of "can you patch that new upgrade tool"-letters.
Sorry, but, now, when i have already sold my A636... No, i can't.
Without device, i can't test my assumptions about "may be that way it will work", so i stopped trying to do anything with new "upgrade tool" utils.
Also, Asus have changed some things in their "upgrade tool", so old methods became useless.
The only thing, that i may advice to all, who really wants to patch that new upgrade tool, is to get latest version of IDA (Interactive Disassembler) and try to do it by yourself (or, may be, some of your frinends, who more skilled in such things).
P.S. As another option for some devices: first flash it from WM5 to WM5 with desired language, then flash to WM6. The only problem here is to find that old WM5 firmware.

Thanks for your reply to this forum Oneiros.
I've just downloaded IDA Pro v.5 and will try to dissassemble the latest Upgrade Tool by myself. I used to do lots of disassembling on PC platform, but never on XScale ARM platform. I just pray it is not that different from the one I know.
I will post my findings here...
Also guys, if you have links to old WM5 firmwares for A632, 636 and especially 639 (the model I have) if you could post them here, that would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Sasovics

Folks,
I managed to download IDA Pro v5 and I was able to disassemble the old Upgrade Tool (for WM5) and I got the the same offsets as "oneiros eidos" mentioned on his web page, and manage to change the instructions to bypass the mentioned checks, but unfortunately I am not able to disassemble the new Upgrade Tool.exe. Either Asus has protected their file in some way or my disassembler doesn't do the job for this file.
If anybody has a suggestion, let me know.
Best Regards,
Sasovics

Little something about language check in new "upgrade tools".
If you look at disassembled executable, you'll see two interesting registry paths:
HKLM\nls\SystemLCID
HKLM\nls\DefaultLCID
I assume, that if you change both of them them to 1033 (english) with any hex editor, (may be Resco Explorer registry plug-in), and then try to flash, it may work.
Don't forget to write down the old value and restore it, if i'm not right.

Hi all
I tried to modify the registry values with Resco Explorer plugin, changed them to 1033 and restarted the PDA. It doesn't work. This is the message I see : "Open Upgrade image file Error".
Tested on A636N.
Greets.

Hi again
In fact, it partially works. You don't have to reset your PDA or the values you've just modified will be restored. Files have to be placed at the root of the SD card.
Then, when I launch the updater, I see a progress bar and my pda is reseted and restored to factory defaults

So it just reset your device but didn't upgrade to WM6?

Yes it does. I launch the updater, then I briefly see a page with a progression bar and it resets to factory defaults.

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.

Hi all, i'm sorry i'm french and i don't speak english.

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.

28August08] Samsung SGH-i780 ROM - i780DXHH1

Source from KingMobile of China:
http://www.kingmobile.net/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=16101
Not try yet. I have uploaded it to minimize hassle.
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=9877bf744e430decd2db6fb9a8902bda

installed, both phone and PDA upgraded.
The speed is much faster as DXHE1 as before.

Does Windows live messenger work? What about port splitter? Is it usable with TomTom7?

WLM works well both wifi and data, sorry Im from HK and we dont use Tom Tom...

hi, thanks for sharing, is it simplified Chinese version ?

Is it running WM6 or WM6.1?
WWE or chinese?

I guess its singapore version, english and support chinese reading only, just like those previous ones. DHXC4 etc...
The speed is much faster, even more than DHXE1..

WM6.0 with WWE

Thanks ~ but after flashed this ROM. MSN cannot connect thought GPRS/HSDPA or Wi-Fi
It pop up error " There's a connectivity program. Make sure you're in an area with good reception and try again " when first sign in,
Anyone have the same issue ?
Thanks

I experienced these before and I thought is MSN problem,
actually is your auto config software problem and I did try.
If u just formatted the rom, use USB or wifi it works...
I use mannual input data and works well.
Please test these again, let data try last thing.

Sorry im not expert on this.
This is what I tested and concluded, thats why from now on I dont use auto config.
At least you will see the phone run faster than before rite?

Guys, why is everyone talking about port splitter ...? I've NEVER used any 3rd party app to get GPS up and running
TT7, GARMIN, IGO8, GPSTUNER, Sygic McGUIDER - all worked on EVERY stock ROM I've had (DXHC4+), including ALL modded EFN ROM's.. and I've always used COM8, 4800 baud..

You see, sometimes, with this ROM, some of my hardware buttons (including the D-pad) refuse to work. But, whenever it happens, a simple soft reset sorts it out. I suppose you already tried that, right?
The next step, prior to reflashing, would be to perform a hard reset. By doing a hard reset, you'll lose all your data, and the device will return to its factory defaults. If you don't want to loose your data and settings, back them up beforehand, to be restored afterwards. I know of two full backup applications: SpriteBackup (the one I use), and SpbBackup. Besides, there is a very useful (and free) application which backs all your PIM up: PPCPimBackUp. Just search for it here at xda-developers.
To perform it by software means, tap on Start > Settings > System tab > Master Clear. It can be done by a combination of hardware keys too: press and hold both the blue Fn and the green Call buttons, and, at the same time, press the reset pin with the stylus pen (some people here replace the reset pin by pressing the Power button at the same time as the other keys, and it seems to work). A white screen will come up asking for confirmation.
If you still happen to have problems after performing a hard reset, then try to reflash. One of the steps of the flashing process will require you to enter the ROM lock code. If you bought your device with its original box, the ROM lock code is printed on a stick in it. Otherwise, you'd have to contact i-mate's support. The links on the 1st post seem to be dead, but the mirror ones on the 2nd post are still working. Just download the zip file which has '9502' in its name, unpack it to anyware you want on your PC, connect your device to it through the USB cable, and make sure ActiveSync is running. Then, double-click on the unpacked EUM SFX exectutable file and follow the steps.
Good luck!

To perform it by software means, tap on Start > Settings > System tab > Master Clear. It can be done by a combination of hardware keys too: press and hold both the blue Fn and the green Call buttons, and, at the same time, press the reset pin with the stylus pen (some people here replace the reset pin by pressing the Power button at the same time as the other keys, and it seems to work). A white screen will come up asking for confirmation.
If you still happen to have problems after performing a hard reset, then try to reflash. One of the steps of the flashing process will require you to enter the ROM lock code. If you bought your device with its original box, the ROM lock code is printed on a stick in it. Otherwise, you'd have to contact i-mate's support. The links on the 1st post seem to be dead, but the mirror ones on the 2nd post are still working. Just download the zip file which has '9502' in its name, unpack it to anyware you want on your PC, connect your device to it through the USB cable, and make sure ActiveSync is running. Then, double-click on the unpacked EUM SFX exectutable file and follow the steps.
Good luck!

Dear Carlos,
Really appreciated for your kind guiding!
As what you guided, i am on the way to follow it, and some more stupid questions need to through more:
1. I am having SpriteBackup v6.0.2 Build 2065, is this the lasted ver up to now? And does it back up all PM registered as before?
2. What is Reflashing? of course i have Rom lockcode now
3. Run ActiveSync 4.5 from PC and also activate Sync function on 9502, right?
Thank you and best regards, waiting for you reply soon too!

1. Mine was 6.2.2 Build 2280. It was newer than yours, but, from your question, I've just gone to www.spritemobile.com and found version 6.5.4.16 there. I'm presently installing it,
2. Reflashing is the process of updating the ROM on your device. For all recent i-mate devices, the EUM SFX application running on your PC will require the ROM lock code to procceed.
3. You must have ActiveSync installed on your PC. Its mobile version will automatically run on your device when you connect it to your PC. They will comunicate with each other in order to synchronize your PIM, media and other files you'll specify the first time they are connected.
Cheers!

Can anyone upload that ROM for me?

You can find the English v01.77 WM6.1 ROM mirrored here, the Arabic one (with the same build and version) here, and the Italian v01.42 WM6.0 one here.
Hope one of them can fit your new device...

Hey there,
Just a quick question. I've been looking for the WM6.0 English since quite sometime now but no luck.
Could you guide me where I could find the WM6.0 for 9502? If there is a custom version also I don't mind trying it.
Also would like to know if there is a WM6.5 version released for imate Ultimate 9502?
Thanks.

The stock WM6.0 ROM was really buggy. No wonder why i-mate hasn't made it available at their website. However, if you really plan to downgrade your device, I don't see other option than learning italian beforehand.
Regarding WM6.5, I'd like to flash it too, but, unfortunately, I don't know any cooked WM6.5 buids for our devices.
Sorry for not being able to help you any further...
Cheers!

In theory, you should press and hold 3 keys: the blue Fn, the green Send, and the Power buttons at the same time. When you release them, a white screen should come up asking for confirmation. You should confirm with the left softkey.
Nevertheless, the last time I tried it didn't work for me as such. I had to replace the Power button by the reset pin, i.e. it worked only when I pressed and held both the blue Fn and the green Send buttons, and, at the same time, I pressed the reset pin with the stylus pen. At the moment I released the buttons, the screen confirmation came up.
Good luck!
Carlos
