Hi,
I'm trying to add a couple of things to the extended rom of my PDA2K, I've unlocked the extened rom but can't find config.txt in it.
Has anyone else unlocked the extended rom of their PDA2K? If so is there a config.txt in it?
Thanx
There is definitely a config.txt in there. Since I have an XDA2S, it also has an autoconfig.txt file for carrier customizations.
Could someone post extROM cab files for XDA2s from O2
autoconfig.txt

can you post that autoconfig.txt file here please, so i can take a look at it ?
thx
The isn't an autoconfig file. There is an autorun which reads and acts upon the Config.txt file. This is from imate
In Imate PDA2K there's no config.txt. The ExtROM is set up indifferent way. Imate has done that way since ROM 166 for XDAII. The setup.exe do the job
Sorry for the dis-information.

I stuck the config file into the PDA2K and did a hard reset but there was no effect to the setup process. The file was ignored
I had also put the Blue Tooth patch in the extended rom and it showed up in the menu of the InstallCabFile program where you choose your operator. when I chose the patch, it installed everything except for any operator settings.

So is there any way to modify the setup process?
Looking at the config text file not much different other than the Fax Cab file from the final .187 rom from o2. So looks like there is no real gain in it although would still like to have a play with the cab files if anyone has the external rom on their PC to upload.
Is the PDA2K the same as MDA3? I´m a little bit confused about this name.
If so, how did you unlocked the Ext. Rom? I just can made mine visible, but i can not write to it. The Unlock like on MDA2 does not work here...

There is another post somewhere with two files, one to unhide the extRom and another one to unlockit.
Thank you!
I found the problem. i didn´t know that i had to use -xda3 as parameter.
Now everything is working fine.

thanks for your help
Go to the file you want start. Then in the Contextmenu of the file click "Open with" and there you can enter the parameters.
Replying to the orginal post.
I'm fairly new to playing around with Ext-roms but here is what I have found so far.
Saqibj - It would seem that the models supplied by different Carriers have been created differently.
I've got 2 PDA2Ks. Which have been sourced in 2 different countries from different suppliers.
Both have
Rom version 1.12.22 WWE
Radio version 1.02.00
And seem to be identical hardware wise.
Device 1 has a std Imate config with no carrier customisations.
Device 2 has a modified extrom with preset network connections, splash screens etc.
Device 1 has a config.txt the other doesn't.
Most of the cabs are common to both devices
(I still don't know what half of them do - but I'm learning from other posts on this site).
Both have an Autorun.exe. - but they are different.
I suspect that the one that doesn't have a config.txt, has had the autorun.exe modfied to load the cabs etc - which obviously should prevent alteration/modification.
This could explain why you don't have a config.txt. If you are unhappy with your extrom contents, I think you can download the unmodified ROM contents direct from club-imate. But I've never done this.
Good luck
TomLin:
Thanx for the explanation, Would it be possible for you to post the autorunfile and the config.txt files, I want ro try to replace them on my ext_rom and see if it works that way.
Thanx
OK, I have a Cingular SX66, I flashed it using the WWE Versions With Arabic Customizing WITHOUT the ExtROM, meaning I kept the Cingular ExtROM, no problem, flashed find.
After that, I flashed the RadioROM 1.06.02 ALONE, and right now, when I hard reset, it says NO GSM, in other words, it became a PDA only, phone function is no longer avaiable. I tried to flash other i-Mate ROMs, but it keep says Country ID is not correct, N-N-12-12-12. I ran GetDeviceData.exe, it comes out like this:
PH20B1 B 1 WWE E 1.31.00 0 0 1.31.112
So now, what is my country ID so that I can use the xda3nbftool.exe? It used to be XGULA001, or is there a way to execute the program without checking the country code, or a ROM with no country code checking.
TIA for all of your helps!
Still looking for help, tried O2 launch ROM, wrong Mobile ID error.
BTW, this is the DeviceDate.txt, before and after:
Before:
PH20B1 B 1 WWE E XGULA001 1.20.10 1 0 1.20.115 1.02.10 02.10
After:
PH20B1 B 1 WWE E 1.31.00 0 0 1.31.112
Nevermind, problem solved by flash another RadioROM from QTEK.
Paper weight
JRSmooth, I just saw your posts. I'm experiencing the exact same thing!!
I tried to upgrade my phone during the Christmas vacasion and haven't been able to use it ever since. The radio says FAILED during the startup sequence (which takes forever after the "upgrade")
How exactly did you fix it??

Well your situation maybe different from mine.
The radioROM I used was corrupted, I kind of knew it because when I flashed it, it did not show what version of radioROM am I flashing into. Now, what error message if you try to flash it again? Try to use a different radioROM from the same mfg. as your last flash.
Hope this help.
Well, it's a kind of embarrassing situation...
I've flashed my GSM device with a CDMA radio stack... It shows up as FAILED if you look at the version.
Hello,
Because your device IDs are different, eg, PH20B1 as opposed to PH20B0, you'll have to make a batch file to fix this. Here are a few instructions I threw together but REMEMBER - I take no responsibility for any damage done to your device. You are following these instructions below at your own risk!
1.) Download a full ROM upgrade file of your choice. I recommend the i-mate one in this folder here - ftp://xda:[email protected]/Imate_PDA2k_WWE_12200_162_10600_SHIP/ but feel free to use another.
2.) Extract the files from your full ROM by opening it with Winzip or Winrar and dumping it's contents into a folder. From now on it will be refered to as "your folder".
3.) Copy the file "GetDeviceData.exe" from your folder to your device and run it. It wont appear to do anything but it has!
4.) From your PC, browse to the Windows folder on your device. Copy the file "DeviceData.txt" to your folder.
5.) Open the "DeviceData.txt" file on your PC. You will see what ROMs your device has installed on it. Mine reads (without the blank/null characters):
PH20B0 B
WWE E
O2___001
1.22.00 0 0
1.22.162
1.06.00 06.00
The "PH20B0" is the device id, the "WWE" part is the country code and the "O2___001" part is the operator ID. Identify this information from YOUR "DeviceData.txt" file as your devices are different from mine and you will need this info for your upgrade. Make sure you write them down because if it's incorrect, you'll get errors and your device will hang!!!
6.) Download the file attached to this post, "Fix.zip" and extract it to your folder. Make sure you have the two files "xda3nbftool.exe" and "Fix.bat" in the root of the folder, not in a folder of it's own!
7.) Edit the file in your folder "fix.bat" using notepad (DON'T RUN IT YET). Replace the words "PH20B0" with your device ID, "WWE" with your country code and "O2___001" with your operator ID. Now, exit this file and save your changes.
8.) Run "fix.bat" from you folder. A Command promt window should appear and process the ROM files. This will change the device ID, country code and the operator ID to the ones you specified, thus allowing the upgrade to work on your device.
AT THIS STAGE, IF YOU CONTINUE, YOU WILL LOSE ALL THE DATA AND PROGRAMS ON YOUR DEVICE!!! BACKUP ALL FILES THAT YOU NEED!!!
9.) Run the "BaUpgradeUt.exe" file from your folder. This will start the upgrade process, so follow the on-screen instructions. During this you will see a screen with "From:" and "To:" showing what versions you have got to what versions you're going to. Make sure this data is correct and then continue.
10.) Once the upgrade has finished you'll be instucted to do a hard reset.
YOUR DONE - You should now have the upgraded ROM!!!
Good luck with this and let me know how you get on!
Regards,
Dom
I got a device of a friend. I'm not sure he used a wrong ROM image or the upgrade failed but it ended up with no Radio or ext ROM version in the boot screen .. only Rom 1.12.
More over, running getdevicedata.exe gives empty file with only "PH20" written there!
.. and any rom flashing gives operator id error.
my question is, can I update the Rom files to have no operator ID ?
Biso007,
In theory, you should just be able to follow my instuctions above but instead of using the standard PH20B1 or PH20B0 in the -sd switch ot the batch file, use PH20. This should allow you to continue with the upgrade process.
Regards,
Dom
Upgrading iMate PDA2k to O2 Rom
Can you tell me where I can download the Fix.Bat File?
Do you know if it will work to upgrade my iMate PDA2K to the O2 rom?
I keep getting an error message incorrect Country ID?
still getting the country id error...
can someone upload a country id free rom?
thanks
also it says checksum error.. how i fix this
thanks
Hi,
i tryed updating the qtek 9090, after i changed the country id type 1 it started.
It controlled my device and said : update from 1.12 to 1.40 and all the specs.
Then i hit next and id says checking information. It saysthat about 30 minutes now and the active sync connection is lost. Also my qtek looks dead.
I tried the installer again but it wouldn't work
I did a soft-reset and that didn't work also.
What now ? Hard-reset or ?.....
Thanks dudes
Ok, after a hard reset my device shows USB v 2.03 again so that's good ins't it
Now the country id error keeps coming, type is at 1 so what can i do more ?
Hi ThEScReW,
I've had the same problem while trying to downgrade to 1.22GER after flashing my device to 1.40WWE. I found out the modified version of MAupgradeUT that normally works for the Magician was able to flash my device with any BA rom I tried. It doesn't matter whether it's a type I or type II rom. Follow my instructions in the readme.txt and it should work.
Good luck!!!
Ok, i'm real thanks for that but i'm also really not that smart if you think i am.
What should i do with al those files? What to put where and what to do first and what last ?
Thanks :lol: you will be a great help
Where do you live btw in germany ?
Take the 1.40_shipped.exe you have and use winrar to unzip the files in a folder. After that you can copy the 3 .nbf files (nk.nbf, ms_.nbf and radio_.nbf)into the BA_upgrade no more errors folder. Then you start the MAUpgradeUT.exe. If the software says there is an error just press quit and restart the MAUpgradeUT.exe. Next time you try it should work making no problems.
Ps: I live in Bavaria about 50 km away from Munich.

Ok thanks but the roms i have are just 1 exe file and that's an installer. It's as easy as hell. I just have to run de exe and follow the rules on the screen.
If i do what you tell me to do, then i need to download a rom from the ftp with al the files in. Then what do i do with those files? what first, what next , ..... :roll:
When using winrar you can extract all the files of your exe into one folder.
(Right click the exe and under options use "copy all files into folder"
Then take the 3 .nbf files and copy them into the folder with my files. Then start the MAupgradeUT.exe.

Ok i'll try it tonight THX
Problem : if i use the rom from dangaard then the exe isn't a rar file, it's just an installer with everything in de exe ..
If i take a rom from the ftp and i unrar it then it are all CAB files and no .nbf files :roll:
Am i stupid or what? Witch version do i need and where do i get it? Maybe a link would do good :lol:
I'm really sorry for those questions, but here normally we just do the installer. I did allready a QTEK S100 and a QTEK 2020 with the installer from dangaard and everything worked fine. I just don't get it why i get the country id error now.
Try this one: ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/BlueAngel/BlueAngel_Roms/BA_1.40_radio_1.20_untested_extrom/
My Qtek 9090 Dead after or in time flashing
I try .....
1. Flash with NO_ID
2.TRy via romupdate and nb1-file
3. Try via I-mate and T-mobile roms includes NO_iD
and nothing... only dark screen and USB or Serial string......
HELp plz.
...... and IF I insert in it SD card string serial no change after put him in cradle.....
What you can try.
if you have the seral message on your screen then just replace it in cradel and rerun the no_id application.
Are you SURE that you are using a valid ship.exe file and that you have extracted all the files and are following the upgrade instructions for 1.42 as per wilki.

all THAT MAY BE

Yes try, i start no_ID (with many roms) and 9090 waiting 20-30 minutes after this connection error

Yes I extract all files , I try many ROMs for I-mate , Qtek , T-mobile in various version ..... I try make SD-Card with dump of rom,......

This`is Unreal I work with PDA 3,5 years ago but look this bugs first ........

We have had a few (very few) that were not able to do an upgrade form thier pc. Not sure if this is a USB issue or software but after all the suggestions that we gave these people and none of them worked all they had to do was move over to a different pc and it worked.
So we know that the wiki 1.42 upgrade page works, that the file works and that the instructions are correct. Best for you is to try a different pc.
I just finished the flashing of 2.16.9.1 WWE from I-mate.This rom offers us THREE splash screens which was only one before.The 1st is HTC Screen(ugly),2nd is I-Mate(more ugly),3rd is WindowsMobile(I love M$-Blue).OMG,we get a gallery when it starts...
Any good folk has any idea about changing them?
Cheers.
The older Qtek aku2 has the same set of splash screens.
adaik only the 2nd one can be changed via ie. the aWizard tools
Ooops,sorry for my stupid excitement...I didn't do that flash...
I tried the aWizard3b2 to change it and none of them change... on the 2.8.7.1 ROM did it change the bootloaders too? (aren't IPL and SPL the bootloaders?) IPL/SPL after the 2.16.9.101 they are 2.16
I used the sample bootscreen to make sure I was doing it right. I am going to try and see if the nba splash screen file from my rom dump prior to the upgrade will work
update: no even using the nba file aWizard3b2 does not replace the splash screen. any ideas?
what worked on the 2.8 Qtek aku2 rom is putting a bmp (several are posted on the forum, use search) as the 2nd splash screen using awizard tools.
My bootloader is 2.08
Awizard cant write, following error:
CopyFileToTFFS(unlocked.bin:0, 0, 00010000)
ERROR: ITWriteDisk - An internal error occurred.
:S cant update the splash :S
did you enable rapi using aWizard first?

I have the same error since the new i-mate rom.. Not only while uploading splash screen, but also unlocking, etc. Hopefully they'll update lokiwiz for this new rom..
BTW: It feels like this new rom boots slower.. Because I see all three splash screens for about the same time as I saw the ONE before. So 3 times slower?? Did anyone time it?
i also see the same 3 splashs with the i-Mate rom update. used aWizard to replace splash, everything seemed to work fine (no aWizard errors) but alas the Imate splash & MS Win logos remain... =(
just FYI
I get the same internal write error, after I upgraded.
i did use a bmp file in awizard (one of the ones on the xda ftp site) and it aWizard3b2 didn't change any of the 3 boot screens. Isn't there suppsed to be a place to put a bmp file in the windows directory to change the bootscreen?
Bootloaders are 2.16 in the 2.16.9.101 file.
Hi guys,
I have been researching this for days.
1) AWizard CANNOT change the 2nd splash screen with the latest ROM, it used to be able to, it now cannnot until it is updated to work with the latest rom, which I hope will be soon. On mine (latest imate rom) it fails with the ITWritedisk:blah message.
2) AWizard never had the capability to replace the first HTC logo. I understand this is a work in progress, and someone needs to find a solution. Anyone?
3) You can easily replace the 3rd) (microsoft windows) splash screen by connecting your device via active sync, and then browsing your pockect pc on your pc. Go to /windows and find the .png file called welcomehead.96.png Simply replace that with your custom png in the same dimensions.
If anyone finds a way round replacing 1) or 2) with the latest rom, please post it here. I gues we need to wait for awizard to be updated.

I can't replace the PNG file, nor can I un-read-only it with Total Commander. It doesn't "take".

are you copying straight to "\windows\" from your desktop? If so, try coping to "\temp\" instead, then on your PPC itself copy from "\temp\" to "\windows\"
That worked... thanks....
