How to read-out the ROM from the device

Hello everybody,
I use my MDA III in German, which is fine. However I would like to make a ROM backup from the ROM that is in my MDA. Since T-Mobile doesn't offer for downloading the ROM in the device, I'd like to read it out.
If I would change the ROM to WWE and later would need to be able to put the original German back (because of warranty or anything) for that I need to have the German ROM.
Any ideas for how to read this original German ROM out or where to download it from?
Thanks in advance, bye!

U can update it in future by last German ROM.

think that will cover you

Well... that wasn't really what was asking for. I now updated my MDA, but I wanted to do a backup of the old ROM before update. However, nobody could answer this question, so now I don't have a backup of the nbf files. Well, actually I don't even care about it any more

The only way I've found is described here

I've used it done an upgrade then reverted back to the rom on the SD Card. You can also then move the backup onto your PC and back to the SD Card using the software described in the above ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/MDAIII/ntrw.exe
Good Luck

Thanks!

O2 XDA III English Upgrade

I have O2 XDA III (without camera).
Does anyone know is it posible to upgrade from german to english language. My software version is:
PH20B1 B 1 GER R O2102 1.31.01 0 1 1.31.137 1.10.00 10.00
I've looked all the tutorials on wiki.xda-developers.com, but could not find the answer for this phone?

maybe this will help http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12419&highlight=german+english+repost
Can you also try to dump your radio rom and post it on the ftp? Thanks

Well you have 4 problems and one thing great that is going for you!
On the posative side you have the Radio 1.10.00 which we all want to get our fingers on, this will gain you many points when it comes to helping you.
Now to your problems
1) You have a PH20B1 which is a none camera rom. As you have read on wiki you need to fix this but you cant as there is no tool that works on the new rom encription (at the momnet its under developemnt) so you are going to get a device id error.
2) Your rom number is high and thus the only WWE upgrade that will work will put you back to 1.22 (if you can fix problem 1). Now this is infact a good rom and as you see I am still on it.
3) You wnat to cahnge to WWE and thus you will be confronted with the country code error, which again you cant fix due to tha lack of a tool.
3) You have no sd card, which is a shame and they are cheap.
What you could try.
There is a fix/hack for the county code issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=98811#98811
Now maybe this works also for the Device ID, I have NO idea and have never tried the fix/hack myself.
I would think that as you are the 02 you would be able to use the o2 uk rom, again you would need to try it. (it is or was on wiki)
On the 02 UK rom, extract it and run the BaUpgradeUt.exe without the fix.bat
Also try the i-mate 1.22 of wiki with the fix bat.
What ever you do, delete the radio_.ndf form any upgrade folder for I am sure you want to keep the 1.10.00 radio.
This is all safe as long as after you have started the BaUpgradeUt.exe your do not go further than the screen that tells you what rom you have and what rom you are going to install. After that, well you could end up with a brick.
So you need a SD card to save your self or you need to find the German O2 Ship file to reflash if it goes bad.
Both options would again give US the radio 1.10.00 and I am sure you will find a few others that will help you in the hope that they can get that radio.
Viel spass!

romupdate from SD mini?

Hi everyone,
I don't know if this is possible (have been reading most post in this section) but is it possible to do a romupdate from the mini SD card?
I know on my old ipaq this could be done. but I have now idea how to do this on my m3000. I would like to update to the latest Qtek rom.
So far I have the romupdate setup file, but that's just about it. since I dont have my usb cable I would like to know if there is any other way to do the update..
all suggestions are welcome

What device do you have?
Is it a UK MDA Vario version of the K-Jam?

it's a Dutch Orange M3000 device which I would like to upgrade with the latest qtek rom or I-Mate rom, depends on which one is better (WWE or Dutch, doesn't really matter to me).

Do you mean backing up your rom on to sd?
If so yes you can. Bear in mind try uise a samll sd card as rom will be size of your card.
Next thing if you wnat to update rom with out backing up.
Run lozwiz, again, but this time run unlock your CID tool.
Then you can just the exe rom updtae with out any vendoe code issues.

Help:I don't want to install the T-mobile extended rom. How?

Being in Portugal I don't need tmobile mms and gprs settings. In one wrod: I don't want T-Mobile ext.Rom. I have already installed the Qtek 1.6.7 Rom. The splash screen is T-Mobile (?) but OS rom is Qtek and extended rom is T-Mobile.
Do you know any way to simply don't let the MDA vario install the extended rom?
Thank you

yes i know one! just delete the Extended ROM files wich you dont need! first install the tools that make it visible and then read in other threads wich cab data is for what! you can stop configuring the default settings and installing the T-Mobile progs by softresetting after Hardreseting when appears a window "configuring Settings in 3 sec." or so!? just soft reset and then install the requiered .cab files of the Extended ROM you wish to have installed! But better read through the other threads if you need detailed informatoins how to do this!! (the thread is hmmm I think Extended ROM or so)

WIZARD Extended ROM Unlocker WORKING!!! thats the thread where is explained how do this...

(sorry for my bad English!!!!)

It depends on your ROM. Most of them except New T-mobile ROM can use extROM unlocker. For T-Mobile ROM you need to backup ext. ROM which you prefer first. After flash new ROM(T-Mobile) , you need to restore it. Please serch in this forum for wizard ROM backup/restore and unlock/lock Ext. ROm. Good luck

Best dutch rom

Hey, I got a MDA compact IV branded from tmobile, but its starting to get on my nerves, and I want the original theme, so I figured I've got to put a new ROM on, now what rom is the best for a Dutch tmobile MDA compact Iv?
thanks in advance

i use A.Z.T.O.R. X2 (V11)Ultimate NLD based on latest Official ROM
you can find it here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=422417
there aren't many dutch roms, but this is probably the best one.

It seems to be nice and clean... Just a heavily tweaked ROM.
But these are Diamond ROM's, are they good for the MDAcompactIV?
Another thing, when the next Dutch ROM update comes from T-Mobile (if it ever comes) will I be able to update?

I also got a MDA Compact IV...since 2 weeks I run the aztor v11 rom, and man what a difference. Much faster.
Just try..

Okay, all good.
But here comes the noob question... I already dl-ed the [rar] file, there's a [exe] file in the as well as a [nbh] file. Are these the only files needed for flashing my rom? How do I do it? Do I run the [exe] file on my PC or my phone?
Tnx in advance...

Ok, I've tried two times to do the update as I just ran the [exe] file on my PC, but I get the [262] update error.
When it updating the bar sticks on 0%, as well on my phone. Luckily after detaching the battery for 3 seconds, my phone just soft resets. What now???

I've done some research but with all the different versions and languages I got really confused. I need another spl to install the [nbh] in order to update the X2 update. But I cant find a way to run the [nbh] file.
I'm also afraid that I'll ruin my MDA. So I searched for a original spl and ROM, but I can't seem to find the right one. I also unable to determine which spl I have on my MDA. It should be a dutch T-Mobile ROM (& spl???). The warranty period isn't over yet so I might need it. (But I hope not of course).
This flashing thing is really confusing...

Same problem
I have exactly the same problem trying to change the ROM from uk vodaphone to Duttys V4. The strange thing for me is that I have 2 Diamonds (his and hers) and the first one went through the process like a dream.
I'd be very grateful to find a fix

First I ran Olinex hard-spl 1.40, after that I rename the .nbh file tot DIAMIMG.NBH, copy that file to your internal storage and than flash from the internal storage. Read this
If above is still abacadabra send me a pm, then I will translate this in dutch.

best rom questions?
to find out whats best for you is to start flashing.
this question is not welcome here on this forum.
as it always end in a flame war.
