How to extract Stock ROM from My Compact IV - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

Hi all,
I am a new member on the forums and must say, thay have taught me a lot!
I have a T-Mobile MDA Compact IV running on stock ROM, radio and protocol.
I would like to ask you haow to extract these from my phone so that if i decide to install a custom rom and Hard SPL and then want to go back to the originals, (for warranty purposes) i can do so.
If anyone could kindly tell me how to do it. I will try and upload them to the forums so that other users can benefit from them if needed.
I have searched the forums for ages but can't find what i'm looking for. If there is anything i've missed, please direct me in the right direction
Many Thanks.
MDA Compact IV
ROM version: 1.37.110.3 WWE
ROM date: 20/06/08
Radio version: 1.00.25.03
Protocol version: 52.26a.25.09u

No need to backup
See this thread for original tmobile compact IV rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406327
I have been through most of the popular 1.93 roms and must say that with some good tweaking and radio .05 the original Tmobile rom performs fine and after all these dark themes, the t-mobile interface has actually grown on me.
I am now running with the above rom which have flashed back countless times. Not sure why this rom is not listed in wiki or mentioned on the other rom lists in this forum.
Use Olipro's NBH utility to extract the OS nb. (reports:
DIAM20000
T-MOB005
1.37.110.3)

Thanks for the info
Hi,
Thanks for the info, but what app(s) should i use to do some "good tweaking" and where do i get the .05 radio?
I have exactly the same phone as you
I know i can use the TF3D app to change themes so if the rom and radio etc work fine i can just swith between the themes later.
If you could help, it would be much appreciated.
Cheers.
p.s. how do i use the rom from the link? It's an exe file.

Thank you so much for the help guys. I never knew that there were nice ppl out there willing to give a helping hand to a "noob"
just a quick question. Does it matter which radio i use in my phone or should i just use the latest one?
Thanks

read the bibles
for all your answers : forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211

OK Then! but...
Okie dokie. i have been on "http://modmydiamond.info/" before, just forgot that it has a mention of which radio was the most recommended. Thanks for the reminder mdajansen
I've downloaded the original tmobile compact IV rom and have seen that it is for a HTC Victor/Diamond. Is that still ok for my Compact IV? and will it bring my phone back to the original tmobile branding?
Thanks.

Yep
Yes, this will reset your Compact IV back to the original tmobile shipped rom including all the original branding etc.
I have done this multiple times (extracted os.nb and rebuild just an os.nbh), used hardspl 1.37 (developer edition)

ok then, thanks for that.

Can I go back?

I looked around and did not see a clear answer to the question of reverting/flashing back to WM5 if desired after flashing one of these WM6 ROMS.
Does anyone know where I can find the answer?
Thanks in advance.
I too have looked around but haven't asked for fear of being flamed. The gurus think that we should be able to pick up on all the lingo and have a clear understanding of what everything means.
I am looking for a way to go back to a shipped ROM from anything after flashing SPL 1.11 in case I need to warranty exchange my Cingular 8525. I have yet to figure out how to do it.

Yes. You can go back to WM5 from WM6. I have done it before with no problems. Your answer is once again yes!
I will not flame you but look harder.

...but just to let You know..
once You go black (2.5 ), You will never go back...
hi there
first of all, I am no expert in the ROM related knowledge, but i did go back to WM5 from WM6 recently. The reason I have gone back to WM5 it is because I am suspecting the Chinese viewer (CE-Star) that i used does not work good in any flavor of WM6, it causes frequent lock-ups in WM6 that makes my phone pretty much unusable.
Besides, i don't mind to share my experience for downgrading to WM5, the following is my up and down sequence.
1. upgrade from Dopod WM5 rom to WM6 cooked rom
2. upgrade to SPL 1.40
3. upgrade radio to 1.38.00.11
4. upgrade radio to 1.40.30.00
5. upgrade to SPL 2.10
6. downgrade SPL from 2.10 to 1.40
7. downgrade from WM5 Rom (It is some sort of HTC Standard WM5 Rom that my friend gave me, and my radio has gone back to 1.38.00.10 as the ROM comes with it.
8. upgrade to SPL 2.10
9. upgrade to Radio 1.40.30.00
Also, you may check out mrvanx's guide for downgrading to WM5 here.

actually... i'm on black 2.5 and thinking of going back... too many apps are wiggin out on wm6
I actually just did it. I was running the latest version of HardSPL, flashed to the new ATT ROM, and then created a updater to flash the SPL to the ATT spl.
Wasn't hard, and only took a few minutes. So, as of right now, my phone is running the new ATT ROM, and if I need to warranty it, I'm all set.
in the wiki it mentions..
If your vendor has released you original rom as a shipped upgrade, you just need to flash it.
If your vendor has not released any ROM upgrade yet, you cannot fall back to original ROM easily. You'll have to reconstruct the ROM out of a dumped ROM.

I'm using 838pro, what about the ROM which available to download from the dopod company website.
does it safe to just flash from it or do I need to repackage the ROM..?
thank you.

if you only want to read chinese, but not input, there is an alternative to it. look for a cab which is named 'sunglobe.ttf register patch'.
Maybe the easiest way
First thing I would want to do is to Flash the unit to what is known as a "Hard SPL". For some reason it makes all the other flash work go a lot more smoothly. You can get instructions and software for that at:
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php...ask=view&id=40&Itemid=26&limit=1&limitstart=2
Once that is done, and it should take about 5-10 minutes depending upon the speed of your computer and USB connection, you can load whatever OS rom you desire.
You can get a carrier agreeable rom from the Cingular/ATT site:
http://www.htcamerica.net/support/8525/software-downloads.html
Or, and this should work, just link directly to the rob by clicking:
http://www.htcamerica.net/support/d...R_WWE_2.15.502.3_6275_1.40.30.00_108_Ship.exe
This should leave you at the latest and greatest of the WM5 packages from Cingular/ATT, and all should be well. And . . . if it hozes . . . which it should not, you should have no warrantee issues since you were trying to flash the upgrade that THEY were providing you. :-D

ROMs from Dopod HK or Singapore are very old ones. The SPL is 1.04. You may not be able to flash backward if you are with HardSPL v7. Also if your radio ROM is newer than 1.27, you may face problem when you flash the original (as it is packed with an old radio rom).
(Please correct me if I am wrong.)
To play safe, follow mrvanx' guide:

After some readings and I have managed to used dutty's tool to recompiled the Dopod's WM5 English rom from the original Dopod shipped rom.
This rom has OS + Extended Rom ONLY.
No IPL, No SPL, No Radio.
I have tested and it works on my Hermes, and Bootloader and Radio stay as is. Please note your result may vary.
Here's the download link
http://rapidshare.com/files/29500131/WM5_Dopod_1.30.707.4__Huchison_3_AU__OS_ExtRom_only.7z
To play safe, I would suggest you to do the following prior flashing the OS rom.
1. Flash boot loader to Hard-SPL-V7
2. Flash your radio rom to 1.38. or 1.40

O2 XDA Diamond official ROM (German)

Here you are:

perfect - thanks a lot for your support.
If you want to make it like the Stock XDA Diamond, first you have to flash spl 1.37 back.

Anja31
Thx!
Yeah, thanks man!
you are my hero (4 2day)!!!
Just wondering, is there a "Homezone" app in the Rom...or is there maybe any "Häuschen" in the TouchFlo3d? If there is a cab file it would be really great if you could post it here.
Thanks man!
Thanks, it is nice to have an backup of the Orginal Rom.
Is it possible that you load on Mega?, with Rapid I have problems it said no DL Slot free.

Yes there is a häuschen alongside the datum and above the uhr. A .cab is difficult since nobody investigated from where the information comes. maybe a system service like on previous models, maybe it's inside manila ...
thanks a lot.
Finally I can try some other roms without losing my guarantee.
A small guide or a link how to undo the HardSPL thing would be nice.
Greetings
iggboert
thanks a lot.
hier ist the guide to downgrade.
if you have unsigned hardspl, you'll need to use the SSPL package (i.e. the same package that is posted in HardSPL thread to flash the hardspl), just replace the NBH file with one of these stock SPLs.
if you have signed hardspl, just go ahead and flash with normal RUU process (no overwrite protection in that one, as it is already only accepting htchackers signed files, there was no need for that).
also,
STEP BY STEP HOW TO RETURN TO STOCK SPL - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!
0. be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
1. download the stock spl package from post #39 in this thread.
2. download the package from post #2 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950 thread.
3. pick the SPL you want to reflash to (ONLY FOR WARRANTY REASONS), it's a .NBH file, replace the original .NBH in the package from post #2 with this SPL NBH.
4. run the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to black screen), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.
+5. to verify, volume down + reset, see version number on tricolour screen.

Hallo!
I bought a 02 XDA diamond. But it is in German (windows 6.1). I would like to change the language from German to English. Does anyone can help me how to do this.
I have no idea what is ROM and so on. I am completely new to this process. Shall I have step by step instructions please?
Thank you in advance!
Greetings!
Sony
whats the deal-will we be getting a WWE O2 ROM anytime soon? I love the blue tf3d
anyone has any luck with a separate cab created for this ?
can anyone sign this for me to use?
anyone ????
First of all I want to thank the guys posting the "reflash" Instructions again and again, so I finally found them too. Since Im trying out a lot with my Diamond (Not my first WM device, but first with cooked rom) I appreciate it, that it is possible to get back for warranty reasons.
There is just one little thing that I am not sure about yet:
I know:
- instal unsigned Had SPL
- Flash stock Rom (O2 XDA DIAMOND in my case)
- Flash stock SPL (I found he package in the Post mentioned)
I dont know:
- wich of the three versions in that spl-package is the one i need???
I hope so can tell me even though i hopefully never have to try this procedure!
Thanks so far
Hi and thanks for your great work.
My request would be for a stock O2 WWE ROM 1.93 if this is possible?

Default T-Mobile Germany Rom

Hello Guys!
Since my Vario IV is with its original ROM not as fast as it could be, I want to install another ROM.
But before I do that, I need the original T-Mobile Germany rom, so that I can install this again, if I have to send the phone back for some warranty-causes, or if I don't like the new modded Rom.
So, is the original one released yet or is there any way, how I can extract and maybe release it?
The other thing is that I don't really know which rom I should install then, since I'm quite new in the xda-business. There are so many roms out there. I'm basically looking for a factory HTC-rom, that hasn't installed much stuff from the start. It should just be faster and has the original htc manila interface, not the ugly T-Mobile one.
edit: And the new rom should be German.
I hope you guys can help me!
Thanks!

Hi!
The radio ROM provides improvements on the GSM radio stack and this has effect on the GSM signal, AT command interface, GSM data modem (3G, GPRS, EDGE, HSDPA, etc...) functionality that is controlled by the Radio Interface Layer (RIL)
Please go trough this page you have plenty of information related to all Hermes related queries one may have.. Hope it will be useful for you
Just remember though that if something stuffs up while flashing the radio rom, you are pretty much gonna end up with a brick... You may be able to use the PDA functions but phone will be gone forever...
same problem
I have a dopod 838 pro. Hardspl by olipro. Flashed roms with manilla 2d and right now suffering the same problem like kahwah..
Tried already the method of flashing original rom then to the cooked rom but still the same problem persist.
Can someone give me an idea on what to do next..
Seriously guys, both of you, READ the Hermes Wiki and the Noob section, they are set as stickies at the top of the thread. I mean, come on, you have not even posted 7 posts on XDA-DEVs and you already are close to bricking your phone.
READ the Wiki first!

So true. I apologize for the download headache. I'm not sure what happened to the file hosted on MediaFire. It worked a while back when I needed it. I tried to download it yesterday, and I also found it to be corrupt.
Anyways, Chanvi93 is correct, and I missed your asking for 6.1. I just assumed I had read 6.0 Pro since it was the latest, and 6.1 was not made available.
I apologize. If you still want the 6.0 Pro, I will do my best to recover the file for you.

Agreed, many are MUCH better.
But it's always good to have the original on hand just in case of a failed flash. The OEM can return your phone to a usable handset again.

Hey Supersport,
What's the performance like on the official 6.0 available in your download files?

No headaches that I know of. It is a little heavy with unneeded software, but it's funnly you asked today. I just flashed it last night to clear a bad flash I had done. It was fun to see it running on my phone again.
Keep in mind, it does overwrite your Hard SPL, so you will need to do that again BEFORE flashing another ROM, it overwrites your boot screens, and it does overwrite your radio with 1.46.70.11. I've left that radio on for a while, and I seem to be getting quite fast GSP acquisition. Could be in my mind, but it does somehow seem different. Also, the OS moved quite swiftly compared to the latest ones I've been messing with. It's back to the OLD Home screen, but you will probably install SPBMS anyways.
If you flash it, and need Hard SPL help, I've got a small download that takes the hassle out of it. It's just Olipro 1.20 and SSPL_TRIN.exe in a zip file, but it's easy to use. It's possible that I MIGHT be able to CAB it up for you, but I have not tried that yet.
Good Luck!
Edit: Remember, the download is large, but it does include NEW IPL, SPL, Splash Screen 1 & Splash Screen 2, ExtROM, Radio ROM, and OS. So, the OS itself is really not taking up too much room. I'll post Free Mem and Space in a few minutes. I'm flashing now...
39.89 Space
28.69 Mem

Hmmm.. sounds like I'll give it a go.
Does it come with an inbuilt Task Manager? (If one has to install a task manager after the flash, it doesn't show up on Spb Shell screen.)
Also, after flashing it, I just execute the Rom Update Utility in your Olipro 1.20 file and that sorts out the Hard SPL for future flashes, yes?

Damn, the flash crashed at 5% and the recovery does not work.
My device is stuck on tricolour and will not active sync with my pc, which means I can't flash.
Any ideas?
