Gone but not forgotten, thanks to Google Desktop. Here's the gist of the hard work everyone did to enable flashing the MDAIII german to english, as summarized by pablo in his now-gone post:
ok, let's go
download the zip of the post i wrote:
ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/support/PDA2K_CDL_11200_134_10200_SHIP.zip
unzip 2 times in a new folder
then download the latest xda3nbftool of this thread, and copy it in the same folder where unzipped before:
[see next post]
then create the following bat file with wordpad (remember the .bat extension, NOT .txt)
copy EXACTLY the rows that follows:
xda3nbftool -x ms_.nbf ms_.nba 0x20040522
xda3nbftool -x nk.nbf nk.nba 0x20040521
xda3nbftool -x radio_.nbf radio_.nba 0x20040523
xda3nbftool -so T-MOB101 -sl GER ms_.nba
xda3nbftool -so T-MOB101 -sl GER nk.nba
xda3nbftool -so T-MOB101 -sl GER radio_.nba
xda3nbftool -c -u NK.nba

xda3nbftool -x nk.nba nk.nbf 0x20040521
xda3nbftool -x radio_.nba radio_.nbf 0x20040523
del *.nba
then, with your pda connected with ActiveSync, run BaUpgradeUt.exe file in the folder
HAPPY DAYS WITH YOUR NEW MDAIII ENGLISH!!!
fully working, i've tested bluetooth and wlan: they works great!
thanks to ALL people of this fantastic thread/forum
Here is the xda3nbftool that went missing.
I would like to flash a german language T-mobile MDA III to english,
but I can't seem to access either of the links above.

Thanks in advance (not to far in advance , I hope ;-) )

I also could not reach the links above. Does anyone else have the files needed for this German to English upgrade?
I just got my MDA III and though I can get by in German, English is much more preferable.
Thanks in advance!
You need to be a member to download a file from this site.
For the imate rom, the latest version is linked somewhere around here. I think it's in the FTP section.
Wn
Thanks Public.
I registered, downloaded and found the imate ROM in the FTP section.
After a back-up, I'm going for it.
ok i'm ignorant, where or what is the "FTP" section please?

PDA2k_CDLWWE_11222_169_10200_SHIP.zip
is this a new version of the same file, or what?
Sorry for my english, and thx
about .bat file?
What is the name of .bat file?
Did I need run this .bat file before I connect my pda?
How risk is this procedure?
Thx again
MANY THANKS!!
worked as described.
Is there a method for returning to german, for warranty coverage down the road?
thanks again, this is the greatest forum for learning how to get the most out of the devices'

as to your question, if it is the same version of the ROM, it may be that you just need to reverse the installation process and re-install the GER version prior to sending your device in for repairs.
They will check the device information, so be sure u hv the ROM and Radio Stack back in original version.
Cheers.
Hi all ,
Congrats to wnpublic for this great help!
Can anyone tell me how to access the extended ROM, or create a new one to get into my pda2k?
I´ve tried accessing the .nbf file but it asks me for a password.
Wich is easier? Create a new Extended ROM or getting the password for this one??
Thanks guys!!!

Hi,
I have ordered a new QTEK9090, which the provider here will only supply me in French. I see conversions on this forum for German to English. However, is there one for Frnech to English?
Thanks
Not that i'm aware of, but the process is similar. You will just have to do a few extra steps, like putting Devicedata.exe on your device and retrieving the devicedata.txt file so you know the operator and "country" ID to use with xda3nbftool.exe.
No reason why it shouldn't work.
It should be the same conversion process. You'll need to dump the french ROM from your phone unlock it using the exact same commands, use a hex editor to see what the french ROM has for a carrier code (T-Mobile) and the designation to say that it is in French (i.e. WWE for english).
You will then modify the .bat file in the other posts that were listed for the German update.

*****************
You'll want to modify the "T-MOB101" and "GER" settings to what you find in the first 128 bytes of the French ROM that you pull off the device to your SD card or PC. I have never dumped a ROM off of a device so you have to search this site for instructions, I know they have been posted multiple times. So to sum it up:
1. Dump the ROM from your French phone to your desktop
2. Use the command xda3nbftool -x nk.nbf nk.nba 0x20040521 to unlock the nk ROM
3. Use a hex editor to read the nk.nba file (XVI32.exe, search web)
4. Once you see what they have for the operator code and how they specify French (FRE???) you will then modify the above commands and save in a .bat
5. Run the .bat file you just saved
6. Run BaUpgradeUt.exe in you unzipped ROM directory.
Hope this helps.
I Just noticed that you’re a newbie. If you search the forum for "dumping ROMs to the SD card", "How do I get the ROM off my XDA/XDAII/MDAIII" , etc and forward me the links, I'll then do the processes on my end first so I know what I'm doing before I hold your hand. I can then walk you through the process to get the two unknown pieces of data, provider and the French 3 letter abbreviation. I'll do all the changes and upload a completed set of files for you to use to make it easy.
Deal? If so, start searching and PM with your results.
later,
Wnpublic,
Do you know how to dump from the device to the SD or desktop machine?
I don't know how to dump the "original" ROM. It appears to be possible, I just haven't explored.
BUT
dumping that rom to get country code and operator ID is unnecessary. All you need to do is put Devicedata.exe on your device and run it. That will create a small text file called Devicedata.txt. Open it and it shows the whole header - or at least enough of it to do the upgrade.
Devicedata.exe is part of the standard upgrade package. simply get the imate one, for instance, unzip it twice, and devicedata.exe will be there.
Thanks,
I had just realized this last night as I reading up on dumping the ROM. I had totally forgot about it, thanks for the reminder and making the complex simple!
On www.qtek.nu, there is a new ROM (1.22.169WWE) available, with Radio, WLAN and Bluetooth updated.
Has anyone the correct link to the file? Has anyone found out what exactly was updated??

I have tried the Dangaard Norwegian Rom, has 1.22.167 Extended and the 106.02 Radio Rom. Nearly the same as the Rom Qtek.nu has released. I was having problem with the radio (GSM) and have decided to put back the old Qtek Rom version 122.126.
I think I will wait this 122.169 Qtek rom.
will it be good this rom for the pda2k??

Hi,
Also wrong password. My fix.bat (with German MDAIII with English ROM) works fine with BA_WWE_BP_12200_126_10600_SHIP.exe but not with this version. Please see log if it can help to solve problem.

Why I made my own ROM
Hi there,
I have a SVP M2000 from Orange France. I hate french OS, so the first thing I have done was to upgrade it to English (it's a stupid I cannot configure the French buit-in keyboard in French when I use an English ROM... but I wait for the project here to reconfigure the keyboard! :lol: )
I have tried all roms here for the Blue Angel and I wasn't really satisfied with any of them, so I have taken the best of all to make my own and my SPV M2000 works great.
My little story:
My first upgrade was the english version from Qtek BA_WWE_BP_12200_126_10600_SHIP.exe but I had some small problems. My SPV M2000 sometimes had a strange behaviour and I had to do a soft reset.
Then I tried the PDA2k_WWE_12200_162_10600_SHIP.exe and those problems disappeared. As the Radio and the Windows ROMs are identical, I thought the problems with the Qtek version were in the extended ROM.
When I heard that the french version for Qtek BA_FRE_BP_12202_558_10602_SHIP.exe had radio ROM version 10602 (and as there's not localization for the radio stack) I decided to use it.
I tried then both english versions (Qtek BA_WWE_BP_12200_126_10600_SHIP.exe and i-mate PDA2k_WWE_12200_162_10600_SHIP.exe) with the file radio_.nbf from BA_FRE_BP_12202_558_10602_SHIP.exe but with the Qtek version I had now some problems with the radio and bluetooth.
I got very excited when I heard about the norwegian version BA_WWE_BP_12200_169_10602_SHIP.exe but I had the same checksum problems described here using the xda3nbftool.
Finally, I decided to use PDA2k_WWE_12200_162_10600_SHIP.exe and replace the original radio_nbf file (10600) with the radio _.nbf file from BA_FRE_BP_12202_558_10602_SHIP.exe
Now, I don't have any problems with the radio nor with the Extended ROM from Qtek BA_WWE_BP_12200_126_10600_SHIP.exe!!!
Hope this helps
anyone figured out the password yet???

Hello guys!
So anyone figured out how to solv this problem This xda3nfbtool needs a litlle update. For sure the next roms will have diferent encryption like this one.
Hope somone smarter than me in this matter solve this
Cheers

I have T-Mobile German MDAIII (PH20B) now English,

CE image 1.22.0
EXTRom 1.12.169
Radio 1.02.00

Hi every body!
I have a Qtek 9090
I upgraded my ROM from 1.12.00 to 1.22.126, I had problems but I solved it with "Country_error_fix.rar"
Now I`d like to upgrade my ROM to 1.22.169 and i heve the same country error.
The questionis could i use the same "Country fix error.bat" to solve the problem or i need another one?
thank you very much
Text of "Country fix error.bat" is:

I have found that to make it work,you have to copy the country error fix file to a new folder where you download the update to.Then unzip/unrar it , right click and edit to open, then I had to use edit>select all>file>save>exit. Then do the same procedure to update as before. I dont know why you have to open and unzip it into a new folder with the rom and all, but it has worked 2 of the 3 times I tried it. The other time I screwed up!!! LOL
Hope this helps.............. 8)
I get an error as well fixing the country code with the xda3nbftool.
Did anyone figure out the new password or change the xda3nbftool?
>WARNING: this does not look like a nbf header, possible you provided the wrong password
What exactly is improved in ROM 169?
A
Proper procedure
As far I as know this is the upgrade hack procedure:
1. Download de xda3nbftool from http://www.xda-developers.com. This program modifies the ROM upgrade files.
2. Extract the ROM upgrade executable to a folder of choice.
3. Copy the exec GetDeviceData.exe from this extract folder to the TEMP directory on the Qtek 9090.
4. Run the GetDeviceData.exe on the QTEK 9090. This exec creates a file called \Windows\DeviceData.txt.
5. Copy this file \Windows\DeviceData.txt to the desktop computer en open it. The DeviceData.txt file contains the data for the -sd, -sl en -so switches. Use this data from your own QTEK 9090, NOT the standard DANGA001 or WWE.
6. Create a CHANGE.BAT batch file :
CHANGE.BAT:
xda3nbftool -x ms_.nbf ms_.nba 0x20040522
xda3nbftool -x nk.nbf nk.nba 0x20040521
xda3nbftool -x radio_.nbf radio_.nba 0x20040523
xda3nbftool -sd ????? -sl ???? -so ???? ms_.nba
xda3nbftool -sd ????? -sl ???? -so ???? nk.nba
xda3nbftool -sd ????? -sl ???? -so ???? radio_.nba
xda3nbftool -c -u NK.nba
xda3nbftool -c -u ms_.nba
xda3nbftool -c -u Radio_.nba
xda3nbftool -x ms_.nba ms_.nbf 0x20040522
xda3nbftool -x nk.nba nk.nbf 0x20040521
xda3nbftool -x radio_.nba radio_.nbf 0x20040523
del *.nba
Replace the question marks with the data from DeviceData.txt
'sl' stands for language, e.g. WWE.
'so' stands for operator (Country ID), e.g. BRIGH001.
'sd' stands for device, e.g. PH20B.
7. Put CHANGE.BAT, the xda3nbftool and all extracted files (ms..nbf, nk..nbf en radio..nbf...) in one folder.
8. Run CHANGE.BAT first.
9. Upgrade the QTEK 9090's ROM by running the BaUpgradeUt.exe.
This should do the trick.
Ran the GetDeviceData.exe on my Dutch QTEK 9090.
The results:
'sl' (language): WWE
'so' (Country ID): DANGA001
'sd' (device): PH20B.
So my CHANGE.BAT file would look like this:
xda3nbftool -x ms_.nbf ms_.nba 0x20040522
xda3nbftool -x nk.nbf nk.nba 0x20040521
xda3nbftool -x radio_.nbf radio_.nba 0x20040523
xda3nbftool -sd PH20B -sl WWE -so DANGA001 ms_.nba
xda3nbftool -sd PH20B -sl WWE -so DANGA001 nk.nba
xda3nbftool -sd PH20B -sl WWE -so DANGA001 radio_.nba
xda3nbftool -c -u NK.nba

i have been following instructions on multiple thread and wiki's page but i still can't upgrade both full ROM or even radio only.
running EditFix.bat gave me "header info error and possible wrong password".
added [CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1 but still no help.
unable to open any of the roms using er2003edit as i do not have the password.
i have a xda2 and i was able to perform upgrades by tweaking the rom files but BlueAngel seems a lot harder.
can someone help me out?
thanks in advance.
finally!
finally upgraded my Siemens SX66 to
CE ROM: v1.40
Radio : v1.12
(did not change my ExtROM; didnt see a need for it)
from original
CE ROM: 1.33.10
Ext ROM: 1.33.110
Radio : 1.02.10
my steps:
1) download and extract ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/BlueAngel_Roms/BA_1.40_radio_1.20_untested_extrom.rar
2) open HTCRUU.conf in notepad and add-in [CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1
3) search the forum for xda3nbftool.exe and download into the same folder
4) open command prompt and go to working folder; run the following commands:
xda3nbftool -x nk.nbf nk.nba 0x20040521
xda3nbftool -sd PH20B1 -sl WWE -so XGULA001 nk.nba
xda3nbftool -c -u NK.nba
xda3nbftool -x nk.nba nk.nbf 0x20040521
xda3nbftool -x radio_.nbf radio_.nba 0x20040523

xda3nbftool -c -u radio_.nba
xda3nbftool -x radio_.nba radio_.nbf 0x20040523
5) finally, run BaUpgradeUt.exe

SX66 Upgrade Issues?
Hey Lazzy,
Did you work out the last bugs after your upgrade?
I have an SX66 and want to fix the horrible BT issues.
Sounds like you are very close to a solid upgrade.
Let me know if you think this is doable for me.
I'm not a programmer but am capable of following your instructions.
sorry cozy but i haven't had time to poke around. and currently my version has the DAMN camera software installed as well and my bluetooth headset doesn't work very well.
will keep you guys posted once i have time to research.
i also have the camera app, but i hide the app shortcut
Hi guys,
I have had my XDA IIs for a few weeks now and I have been reading up on how to upgrade it to 1.40 with the latest 1.13 radio. I would appreciate if I could just describe the steps I am going to take to upgrade it and see if anyone can tell me if I have misunderstood some of the wiki/ forum instructions.
My current version is (from DeviceDate.txt) PH20B 0 B WWE E O2___001 1.31.00 0 0 1.31.139 1.06.00 06.00.
1. I have downloaded from the wiki (ftp://xda:[email protected]_11200_Ship/Extracted_Type_I_CE_Rom/nk.nbf) From what I understand, a Type I file is one that can be edited with xda3nbftool.exe- is this correct?
2. I have also downloaded the 1.13 radio ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=23807&highlight= . I understand this is also a type I file as mdaIIIuser converted it.
3. Using the Type I upgrade tools, I use the instructions from the wiki getting started (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_GettingStarted) and edit editfix.bat for my Operator ID etc.
4. At this stage I am not upgrading my Extended ROM with anything, so I am not putting any ms_.nbf into my upgrade directory. I am not upgrading my ext rom like this as we cannot edit ms_.nbf for Blue Angel (which is a pig as I am used to my Himalaya!!!!!)
5. I run editfix.bat from command prompt which hopefully will convert my rom and radio files to O2 UK.
6. Now that my files are converted I run BAUpgrade_UT.exe (from what I understand I dont need the MA_upgradeUT.exe since my headers should all be correct) If this doesn't work due to country code error etc, I use the cracked MAUpgrade_UT files and try again (twice).
7. My radio and ROM shoudl now be 1.13 and 1.40 WWE respectively.
8. My extended ROM is still 1.31 though so I unlock and unhide it and remove all files (except for my O2 UK customization cabs for GPRS etc) and replace them with the 1.40 Base. At this stage I get a little confused, from what I gather, i need to pick one of the QTEK base roms. Which one would be the best to add my O2 stuff to? I was thinkng that I-Mate Qtek 1.40.147 WWE (as it uses the config.txt method, which I am used to!) I copy these files into my extended ROM, upadate the config.txt to include my O2 UK and other customizations and then I do a hard reset. And there you go, job done, I hope!
Please, if anyone who has done this before with Blue Angel could check over my steps to see if I have done anything particularly foolish. I am so used to all hte tools used to customise my Himalaya so it is just a case of getting used to a new way of doing things.
Thanks for any help in advance!

I thought I should include the contents of my editfix.bat:
REM ~DeviceData.txt PH20B 0 B WWE E T-MOB101 1.12.22 2 2 1.12.169 1.02.00 02.00
REM Replace the question marks with the data from ~DeviceData.txt
REM 'sd' stands for device, e.g. PH20B.
REM 'sl' stands for language, e.g. WWE.
REM 'so' stands for operator (Country ID), e.g. T-M0B101.
REM ms_.nbf Password = 0x20040522
REM nk.nbf Password = 0x20040521
REM radio_.nbf PAssword = 0x20040523
xda3nbftool -x nk.nbf nk.nba 0x20040521

Looks fine (only skiimed it though)
Note the files are type I so you need the type I upgrade files (which you have fixed) the Ma tool is for type 2 files.
Dont mix them up.
Thanks for checking for me. Have just updated my phone and all seems fine, still need to check my GPRS and operator settings are all there!
Thanks again,
Fin
the 1.40 has BT 3900, your EXT Rom might have cabs that install BT 3500, which will be a downgrade.
Check that your Ext rom is clean of patches and add the 1.40 patches off wiki that you need. Browse the kitchen for more info.
I have read through the ERK in wiki and I can't see anything to install bluetooth version 3500. I might be wrong though, the only cabs I have left from my previous extended ROM are as follows:
CAB: \Extended_ROM\BA_cm_rm_map_o2_v3.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\O2UK_AP_09212004_BA_1.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\O2UK_Button9_WWE.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\O2UK_Connection_Setting.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\O2UK_Hide_WLan_message.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\O2UK_PIE_homepage.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\O2UK_Regional_TimeZone.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\install.ARM.CAB
From what I can gather these are just customization cabs for O2 UK, if anyone knows any different please let me know!
Thanks again for your help!

Looks good, have fun
Update XDA IIs
I have the unlock UK xda IIs, and I have download the new update. I was hopping someone can answer my question. If I install my update will it lock my phone again?
Once you unlock, it's unlocked for good - no need to worry about changing ROMs back and forth.
