Help with this device - HTC Excalibur

Hi!
i decide to post my question here because this thread is visited by too many "rom cookers"....
I have a Benq E72, but nobody knows how to help me =(
I'm cooking a spanish 6.5 rom using a kitchen that i found on a polish forum but it have an old XIP, so i found a new xip for smartphone i ported it to my Benq E72....
But my question is: The kitchen folder have a "ROM" subfolder and inside have the files imgfs.bin (1kb), the old xip.bin (2,89mb) and the file os.nb (3mb), so i replace the xip.bin with the new xip.bin i left the imgfs.bin but i don't know what to do with the file os.nb...(i'm not sure but i must integrate the new xip.bin into the os.nb?) i post my question here because both (excalibur and benq ) are smartphone and maybe the "cooking way" are the same and because this forum have high activity, more than the "smartphone general"....
Hope someone could help me...!
Sorry for my english

German Qtek 9000 ROM available?

Hello!
The Qtek 9000 is sold in Germany with a ROM dated middle October 2005.
Is this ROM also available for download somewhere?
Unfortunately I couldn't find it yet...
I would like to try it on my MDA Pro! :lol:
Deal!
Hey,
I'm looging to change my Qtek german ROM to an English one.
I'm pretty sure we can find a deal in exchanging our ROMs!
But you need to tell me how to extract and how to reflash afterwards.
If interrested contact me.
The english ROM is here on xda-devs-FTP
But: please before flashing your OS upload the german ROM there!
This would be my very best xmas present
Cheers
Ok for your christmas present!
Hello Cendaryn,
I just need coaching or tutorial for extracting and then flashing the ROMs.
If someone tells me how to extract I will post for sure.
And I need also help to flash the english ROM.
Thank you
Well this is my biggest problem - I know how to flash the ROMs but not how to dump them. But I guess a little search in the forum here will help
Cheers
uni_cdl-me_11238_132_10301_ship.exe ) Is this the Qtek ROm? if its not please show me the direction.
Sorry
Sorry with no tutorial I can't help.
I'm really willing to post the german ROM. But haven't a clue where to start.
Does anybody know?
Thank you.
Dumping the ROM seems to be not easy
this is what I found: [Universal] How to d2s (dump) the ROM
I can't help you because I dont have a Universal (Qtek 9000) but I'm very interested in files of this ROM too!!!
Dumping the ROM seems to be not easy
Well, you say it.
If I look the post you mention I still have no idea where to start ???
I keep on seeking for complete tutorial.
By the way, does anybody know if changing the ROM is also changing the WM language? Or do I have to change separately?
Thank you.
A ROM also includes the WM language.
Maybe this topic helps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=36102
Cheers
Near to target ... but ...
Hi,
Thank you for the links, I feel I'm very close to dump the german ROM.
But not done so far.
And I'm becoming impatient because I found the ROM I want to put in place.
Keep on helping me end pray for I resist not to flash the original german ROM. :twisted: :twisted:
Arrgh!
I'm going mad to find how to backup original ROM.
Don't know if I will resist any longer to flash without backup.
Would You please try to run grab_it on your Universal?
This would give us a RAW-ROM-Image.
and i need a file dump (TestWM5) of a German ROM.
but you will need a Storage Card to do this.
German ROM needed ?
Hi all,
just reading through this thread here. I have an original VDA-IV with an unchanged ROM. I am trying to convince myself to upgrade to JasJar or O2, but did not do so yet. Any wish for a dump from me ?
(Have to leave now, but am able to do so tomorrow)
Ruud
yes, yes, yes...
@Ruud Westerhout: view your last Post
I am getting today my german qtek 9000.. But I will flash to wwe Qtek.. I will try to dump the german one first.. But maybe I need a little help..
Alex
Idea
Maybe, we can have it a little easier, because I think, ROM dumping is very difficult and could also be hard to flash on other devices. For MDA compact (HTC Magician) for example, you had to edit the dumped ROM with a binary editor before it worked on other devices. Also, there often were problems with some SD card readers/writers, etc.
The best way would be getting a ROM update from the vendor (e.g Qtek) as a complete EXE-File. This could be flashed on other devices with the maupgrade_noid-Tool from xda developers FTP server.
So, it would be nice of you Qtek users, if you could write an e-mail to Qtek.ch!
They offer updates for Qtek users, but you need to mail your IMEI number. So MDA Pro users are not able to get Qtek updates this way.
I'll do this.. No problem..
Any other requests??

Toshiba e830

Hi,
I need some Help with the Toshiba e830.
Well as I know there are no updates whatsoever, but maybe some of you guys can make one. I really want to have at least wm5 because the old wm2003 doesnt seem to work with most new programs (i need the new opera mobile 9.5)
The device is great hardwarewise. I mean it has all i need.
actually i read, that there was an update for the japanese e830 (japanese Rom)
http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=214221
there is a link where you can download the rom....
so if anyone of you can do something with it, it would be great.
i have no experience at all with these things.
but i am willing to help with my device.
please guys i need your help....
Comeon guys, is there really nobody willing to help?
Im willing to pay if needed.
im telling you. its a great machine, and most of the newer programs are just made for wm5 or wm6. so is there no solution to this.
i mean there is a bootloader for the japanese rom, cant i backup my own, or write a new rom with wm6 on the pda?
are there any other e830 users?

You should do a wm5 or wm6 rom for such e830 users as me,and somebody maybe pay for it
LOL
thats what im asking others to do...
because i have absolutely no plan at all...
if there are tutorials on how to do it or someone would explain or help how it works im willing and will try it for sure...
and i guess there are still some e830 users out there.
as i understood, the problem is a bootloader to reach the data in the rom of the device...
hehe, im the one who needs help...
anyway, ive found a bootloader and the japanese rom update...
there are two files: eboot.bin and xip.bin ...
so maybe someone of you guys knows anything...
Yeah its me again, a thread with my posts only...
Does anybody know who could be contacted to help me?
i do have a xip.bin and a eboot.bin and the flash program itself...
any help or ideas?

What do you mean "not original"???
If you sim unlocked your phone, now it probably has Dopod Rom, so it's no good.

I'm going to try to dump my ROM ...
One question..... in the HOW TO the last step of the files says "a valid signed official Touch ROM.". Maybe this sound a bit dumb, but... i guess that I need to use the Cava ROMs right?

Cruzzmz,
Holy smokes, nice work on all this. I just read up on a lot of the threads. You are out of control. We all owe u many thanks.
I MIGHT be able to convince a friend to 'DUMP' his ROM. I am new to all this.....
What exactly does this do to the phone after it's dumped? Can he use it on softbank, or does he need a new ROM? Is there anyway to screw it away and 'brick' his phone?
Thanks!

HTC Snap / Captain OEM ROM SYS for cookers

Here's a dump from the newest HTC smartphone... Build 21040
http://energy.wub.nu/HTC Snap OEMROMSYS.rar
I know there's no cookers for the Excalibur, except me.... If anyone wants to take a crack at it before I do, be my guest. If not, look for a new ROM for the dash with this stuff in it, SOON.
Link didn't work...or I'm a moron.
Link doesn't work. But awesome. Cook us up something good!
Guess I'm the moron.... link fixed now...
Will it be possible to do a multilingual rom and not just WWE ? Is it in your projects ?
What languages are included in this ROM?
I downloaded the rom, and I think that it is only an English ROM (409).
Are you sure? Usually such ROM make multilingual.
No I think well it is only english... But I am not an expert in ROMs
This ROM, by a photo, is very similar on 'Rose' ROM. Who can tell me, thats langs included in this ROM?

Greetings from Sri Lanka!
The entire excalibur community is waiting till you cook Please spare some time for it Keep up the good work!!
I need some help. I have the HTC Maple/Snap/Captain latest rom from Tmob... I need someone with seasoned experience in ROM dev to remove a timebomb in the ROM. I can give instruction on the hex values to change but I just don't have time to do this. If someone will PM me I can provide a one time link to the ROM. All I ask is that the timebomb be removed this weekend and the ROM returned to me clean. If someone can help me then you'll have a clean ROM to hack to your hearts content.
thanks!!!!

I would very much be interested in an extracted XIP as well...
There is NO timebomb....
I think that with a simple Hex Editing with OS.nb, we should be able to extract the XIP...
You can get it with XIP Tools.
Try my XIP, I PM you the link. I managed to dump it with XIPport. Send me some feedback if it works.
Heres the link: XIP.bin, I haven't tried it yet but I did manage to extract/dump it using XIPport...
Here is new xip 21040 for Excalibur. It's working ok.

Hello and welcome to this forum,
as orb says, do follow the instrutions very well, or you can soon make a mess of things. One question I have for you is why do you wish to down grade? if it is for Video calling then you are correct to downgrade, only WM 5 will support video calling, but for anything else then WM 6.1 is far better than WM 5.
Seasons greetings
Jay
