should be no problem for that , you can look at FTP again there had new ROM 11336_11334_10402 that's same as I had Dopod 900 , I already try to flush WEE i-mate ROM and flush back Dopod ROM twice no problem for flush ,
how can you upgrade it? need to enter serial mode? ( how to enter for universal) what tool did you use?
thx

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.

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.

The latest English ROM is Dopod 1.30.111 WWE(World Wide English) with latest Radio 1.11.00. The second is Qtek 1.30.77 WWE with Radio 1.09.00. They all can download at ftp.xda-developers.com/Universal with user name:xda and password:xda. But, read the detailed instructions before upgrading at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
Upgrading your device with different ROM wil show you Country ID error and use the program instead at http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=9885

i had the same with earlier updates. connect the device in a usb port not a hub, remove all cards, sim and memory
update ( maybe 2x because of language fault) then soft reset
in your case, maybe re update 1.09 then softreset

I had the same problem with a German T-mobile MDA PRO from Ebay and first think i did was to try and change the language.
First attempt went wrong and the phone would not turn on, but i flashed it again and all was OK.
I think the fault is the way you flash it. I discovered you must follow some important steps.
If the upgrade is a standalone file you must extract the firmware files in a directory like C:\flash (using winrar for example) where you can do the following:
1. Find MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and later use it to flash, DO NOT USE ROMUpgradeUt.exe.
2. Edit RUU.conf and add [CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1 at the end.
3. Put the phone in bootloader mode (bootloader mode is where it shows usb on top and v1.0 at the bottom, so your phone is allready there)
4. connect usb cable (do not use a usb hub, plug directly on the computer).
5. Run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe, and ----VERY IMPORTANT---- after the first screen when it displays the firmware version you are about to flash (it does not detect the version on the phone) WAIT 10 SECONDS. Then press continue, and wait for 20 minutes until it finishes.
Hope you make it...

Hi all , I 've bought a ppc Asus P525 chinese ROm . Now I want to change the WWE Rom . ANyone have this Rom plwase PM me bye Yahoo messenger or this forum , thanks . Y!M : [email protected]
Any luck?
Did anyone contacted you?
I am looking for such a ROM myself.
Anyboby have it ? Please send it to me
i wrote so big post about my experiens with P525 and at last pressed on smile and opened new page deleted all i wrote
have no mood to write it again. I will tell shortly:
I also have P525 chinese version (TW CHT version)
1) currently, i don't know how to grab whole ROM from P525.
itsutils can grab whole ROM excluding bootloader. Grabber like Grab_it grabs only garbage and thus completely useless. ROM type is DOC (TrueFFS) which according what i found is hard to grab. If anyone knows how to grab ROM fully - tell me how.
2) Flashing only OS rom and without checksum is at first unknown procedure and at second can make from your P525 just expensive brick. Size of different language ROMs of P525 varies greately. Also, some P525 ROMS have extended ROM while others no. Taiwanese version has 3MB extended rom where KKBOX installer resides. It's easy to unhide it and remove KKBOX to free space for some other apps. HK version has no KKBOX, so i don't know is extended ROM present there or not. TW model has 61.75 of user storage space. IS there any HK users? how much user storage space in HK version? it can answer question: is there extended ROM in HK version or not. English version has 74MB (!!!) of free storage space and has no extended ROM. So, flashing different language OS (if to know how to flash) will probably lead device to non-responsible state.
3) there is bootloader flasher. you can enter it by holding down "record" button and press reset. But this flasher doesn't accept neither standard ROM update from ASUS site nor decrypted and renamed ROM. For me it tells that language is different. Ridiculous.. May be it will accept english ROM? Also, quick looking in hex editor i can see that bootloader can accept different file names and some strings relative to serial mode (console). Seems bootloader can be switched to different modes, but i don't know how to do this. Currently, in flasher mode P525 not recognized by desktop computer. even no any sound or other reaction telling that something pluggen into USB. Would be good to find more info about bootloader of ASUS P525.
Summary of key combination while pressing reset button (or turn on)
1) Hold jostick up -> enter to hard reset menu
2) Hold down record button (it's near camera button) -> enter to bootloader's flasher.
Meantime i mage english transformation installer for P525. After that P525 becomes fully english, till next hard reset of course. It eats user storage space of course, but at least my P525 is fully english!
Well, i'm not sure what is better: have CHT version + english transformation or ENG + chinese font and input because i need to read and write both languages. Actually, my chinese is very bad (only beginning) i defnately need english interface. What i like most in english ROM is 74MB of user storage space!!
May be some guru will have this wonderful device (much better than any available HTC device now) and will share some hacks :roll:
by the way, a week ago, ASUS had new update for HK and TW versions. After couple of days it has been removed. Anyone knows why?
I compared files: changes in couple of BT files, many updated files in Voice commander. That's all if i recall right. I didn't try to flash it yet.
ok. i programmed english ROM to my P525! works great!
now Storage space is 74MB! (61MB was with chinese version)
i'm continuing my monolog. Seems everybody with P525 only waiting for info..
after digging in bootloader code i found:
- found procedure to calculate checksum. this allowed me to flash english ROM dumped from english P525.
- Bootloader has several modes.
- key combinations for flashing different part of ROM. You need keep these buttons while pressing "reset" button (or while turning on):
1) Photo - update ROMGalaxy.nb0 (ROM without bootloader)
2) Record - update BootGalaxy.nb0 (only bootloader)
3) Photo+Record - update Galaxy.nb0 (whole ROM)
4) Photo+Record+Joistick_Action - USB Console mode
There is some check for Jostick_UP mode. I'm not sure if it can switch to another update mode or it's just for hardreset because Jostick_Up used for HR as well. ARM assembler for me is new. I used to read x86 assembler
Also, bootloader can accept standard ROM update from ASUS site - Galaxy.cap, but i didn't find the way of activate such mode. Probably it may be activated only by update application by calling this mode through IOCTRL function.
Another unclear thing is USB Console mode. I can connect to phone by mtty as to USB COM (something like \\USB_blah_blah - i don't remember exact name), but any attempt to type something doesn't produce any echo to screen. Either bootloader can not echoing or requires to type some authorisation command to unlock console mode. Or may be this mode support only direct file transfer without any commandline interface..
Bad thing is that nobody except me explore P525
Good thing about P525 ROM is that understandable by imgfs tools! No extra work required to dump all files and modules. and with no error! I guess, imgfs tools can compile new ROM also without errors. Opened door to ROM kitchen as for himalaya in the past?
Actually, i would like to add/modify/remove some components (like T9 languages). Since, i can flash old ROM anytime if cooked ROM will not work, why don't try.. just need to find some spare time and enough courage
Well mate, all this sound very good.
I am waiting to have some money and get one of those p525.
sorg. Great work!!
I also had lots of fun with the Flash process. Just found out that if I use the AC adaptor, the bootloader will complain "checksum error" while using the USB cable will not. I believe this is due to the design of the USB port (remember that the cable's 2nd,3nd legs are shorted)
I had successfully flashed the ENG ROM. However, now I would like to get the T9 CHT input back. I had tried to use the Asus "official" rom to flash the CHT version back (HK ver.) but the device keep complaining the "region" is not correct (I had already set the language ID to 0 , I believe this "error" should be caused by the extended ROM, but will try later when I got the CHT ROM )
Is there any tricks I had to do to modify the original galaxy.cap ROM image so that I could flash it though the boot loader instead of the ASUS official flash tools? or could you kindly upload the HK-CHT .nb0 ROM?
Deeply apprciate your help!
Cheers!
Hum, maybe using imgfs to dump the T9 input module out should be fine for us, sorg. (coz I need both ENG and CHT but need the ENG interface.... )
haha, mind to share how to manage the official ROM to .nb0 ROM? so that I could cook the ROM as well. HUM, getting the answering machine from GSMART-i and background-mixer than cook them into P525 should be very delicious. wahahaha
i gave you CHT ROM for bootloader flasher in PM.
Currently, i'm in final stage of my cooked ROM. It's based on english v3.29. I added chinese font/nls/input(T9, HW and SIP) and some other useful utilities. Also, since i'm russian i added russian input as well.
I think i will finish testing in couple of days.
Dear sorg,
Thanks a million for your guidience. I am browsing online materials and want to try to cook my own ROM. I had a friend who have a g-smart i WM phone. The phone comes with a s/w answering machine and a very good "background mixer" (which you can pretend you are in a busy environment during telephone call). Therefore, I would like to dump his ROM and check to see if I could use fsimg tool to get these 2 program out. can you show me a road to useful information?
(P.S. I had suspected that the ASUS autorun.exe block the flash process.... but just can't find where the "regional setting" is located in..... thanks for your bright help! YOU ARE NOW ANNOUNCED THE P525 GURU!!! )
Cheers! Cheers! Cheers!
can you extract files and registry related to cheating utility from GSMART's ROM (or give me link to such ROM and name of exe file)?
i will try to put it into ROM.
Structure of P525 ROM is relatively easy. To decrypt ROM you have to XOR whole galaxy.cap file by mask A87BC0DF. Then you may use imgfs_tools utilities
But to flash ROM back you have to calculate checksumm of new ROM. I don't want publush function right now because it's still dangerous. not much known yet about P525 ROM. For example, flashing with wrong language and fail will lock your device to that language which probably you don't know. And if device will not able to finich boot to OS you will not able to use language unlock utility. I also found problem to flash bigger ROM update through bootloder's flasher. it always fail. Only way to update to bigger ROM is to use official chinese update galaxy.cap and only after that use hand-made ROM with the same or smaller size. Once you programmed smaller size, you will not able to program bigger one. Again have to use chinese official update.
I don't know why it happens. So, it's not right time to spread tools. When most things will be known then it will be safe to release.
ah, didn't see question about ROM dumping.
I thing, it's better to find update first.
Dumping works not on all phones. You may try to use itsutils. There is utility pdocread.exe which can dump TrueFFS DOC.
Hi sorg,
I had copied the pdocread.exe to the sd-card and run it on my friend's g-smart-i. It caused his phone to freeze..... I re-tried for a few time and now he refused to borrow it to me to continue the experiment... >_< (I should not do the experiment in front of him, and should poke the reset button secretly, hahaha) Well, I will continue to try to get the ROM, once I had successfully dump it out, will let you know at once!
What I intended to do is to use an ENG rom, use a 3rd party CHINESE engine (which I can turn off when not needed) and have the T9 input always resident in memory...... I had tried to copy all T9*.* to the /windows directory and imported the T9IME registry entry from CHT ROM to ENG ROM. It doesn't work at all, the result is that I am unable to change T9's mode (e.g. only able to input 123, can't even change to input ENG / T9 ENG). Waiting for your advice!
Cheers!
pdocread should be run on Desktop computer while PDA connected through activesync. Also you should enable RAPI on PDA (look for enable_rapi.cab on this forum).
Actually, i revised my archive or ROMs and found one version from GSmart. So, i think, no need frighten your friend anymore
unfortunately, i couldn't make neither AnswerMachine nor PhoneRec/Environment Cheater to work. Actually, all these three apps are pretending to work on P525. I can listen example of environment cheater in settings, AnswerMachine picks the phone in right time, PhoneRec opens dialog where progess of recording should be visible, but neither playback to phoneline nor record from there are workining There is topic about porting these apps on buzzdev board but so far no any positive results. Probably, gigabyte has some specific hardware allowing to interat with phone line, but all other Phones has no such ability
We are lucky that at least P525 allows record phone conversation (through any available recording software)! Most HTC devices have no even such feature!
please follow to this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279777
there is discussion about P525 ROM(s) with modified version i published.
any questions to me please ask in that topic.

Good thing about P525 ROM is that understandable by imgfs tools! No extra work required to dump all files and modules. and with no error! I guess, imgfs tools can compile new ROM also without errors. Opened door to ROM kitchen as for himalaya in the past?
Actually, i would like to add/modify/remove some components (like T9 languages). Since, i can flash old ROM anytime if cooked ROM will not work, why don't try.. just need to find some spare time and enough courage

Guys, my phone is dead and I need a little help please.
I have a T-Mobile MDA Compact II and have mistakenly (why it worked I don't know) 'updated' it with a Prophet firmware release. This progressed as I expected but was I since discovered completely wrong. My phone now shows a black screen with Dopod logo on boot and then hangs.
I have since found this site (looks good btw!) and subsequently the ftp area. I've downloaded the correct firmware for my phone, reset into the three colour screen and kicked off the Romupdater for the proper version I believe to be for my phone. With the 2 releases from ftp (one in that directory appears to be only half a zip file) they appear to be uploading but there is no change with the black screen problem.
I'm now stuck and am hunting for options. I'm more than happy to help myself but can someone explain what I need to do and start me on my way to fixing this.
All because it hangs from time to time when I run up too many apps on it.
Thanks in advance
Andy
Tell us what ROM you are using and which software you are using to perform your ROM update.
Anyway, it is weird that the Prophet ROM doesn't work on your phone. Keep this low tone, but I've done a Prophet ROM flash on my Charmer before. Everthing works well except the camera, that's why I flashed it back to the original ROM. I won't advise others to do so, there seems to be a few 'fatal' cases. I'm not sure, probably because it is compatible with the earlier Prophet version.
UPDATE: Nevermind, you seems to have the information. Good if you can stick to the same threat to avoid confusion. To others, please refer to

At work and I've left the phone at home but I believe it was something like 2.3.15 (i.e. upgrade from v1 to v2)
Correction, it's SPL 2.15, IPL 1.12.
I have seen a post on Hermes bootloader access over USB using Mtty and now have access to the cmd> Can someone help me perform a bootloader based ROM downgrade to known working or deleting the image that is there?
Have now found the awizard utility, which file type does awizard need to be fed via the ROM directory?
Yes I'm a newbie at this and shouldn't have messed with the ROM update but I'm an I.T. guys by trade so if you can feed me the info I need I should be able to follow instructions
Phone is still 'dead' though.
It needs
XXX-OS.nba
XXX-Radio.nba
XXX-ExtROM (directory wit Ext Rom stuff)
You ought to get these from the FTP. I've myself uploaded a Charmer original UK ROM T-mobile, it should be still there is no one messed with it.
Hmm, I've missed something then. I put the .nba files into the ROM directory and then run awizard and hit w. Where I would expect to see a list of files with numbers there isn't any.
What I miss?
the dir structure of the aWizard looks like the attached, where you have the ROMs under the "ROM" dir and Ext ROM. Where the aWizard directory has the aWizard.cmd file.
Can someone provide a split up (i.e. seperated nbf files) for the Charmer or the correct memory addresses to punch into nb2nbf to create my own?
The images seem to have been removed from the FTP site and I'm in position to de-brick my phone!
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
