romupdate from SD mini? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

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.

MDA 3 English ROM Upgrade

I just got a MDA 3 T-Mobile which is obviously in German. Someone sent me to english ROM, but it is a .nb1 file, and I am not exactly how to upgrade the device. Should I use XDATools? I am not sure what loader to use, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
NB1 file
Can you post the file?
Thanks
If someone can help me upgrade mine...
I get an error when trying to load the english ROM for the MDA 3, it says that the device is not connected, I have been able to copy the german ROM, off the device, but can't seem to load one in, or copy it to the SD Card, anyone have any ideas?
why don't you share with us on what you have and maybe someone here would be able to do something and bring the project to completion. so why don't you share your file with us?
Sure, do I simply upload the file here? Or i have to host it myself?
T-Mobile MDA III German ROM.
Here it is, someone please help me find a way to upgrade the ROM on the device, I think the problem is finding the correct bootloader...Thanks
Uploaded file using FTP, Filename is NKT.nb1 in the main directory
Before running the upgrade are you disbaling usb in activesync and then entering bootloader mode on your phone and cradling it?
No, I havn't tried that, ActiveSync was running, with USB connected, I am not sure how to go into bootloader mode, I tried holding power button and soft reset, that didn't do it though.
I also tried holding down the power button, center button on the directional navigation pad, and reset button with stylus and that just clears the data.
Managed to get into the bootloader, problem is now that i unchecked USB connection in ActiveSync, XDATools says please connect your XDA, it cant find it now, is this the correct way to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated
you may try to refpash XDA3 through the SD card. I've seen several posts on doing this for XDA2, but cannot find. Probably the process should be the same except for reflashing GSM ROM.
You'll also need an english extended rom.

Have you successfully dumped existing ROM to SD-card with bootloader? Like in this post: http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=62&PN=1
You need to dump only WinCE ROM. Then reflash this ROM back.
If you'd succeed - then upload your SD card contents somewhere and I'll try to integrate english rom into it.
And have you tried to run the XDA2 upgrade tool? What does it say?
Hi,
i did everything you said and it works fine but i am unable to see the datas from my SD Card now. The MDA3 or my Cardreader want to format the card. Otherwise it wont let me take a look at it.
PS: i can show you the ext. ROM, maybe that helps?` :roll:
Read this maybe it will help you to do it, http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=93 it used to recover the dead XDA II

Hi, please check this link
XDAIIi How to cook/flash Extended ROM
or
2577 method
my friend Ru Chonburi, he applied Dr.Chair method to modify extended rom of Xda IIi. If you don't want to flash rom, check 2577 method, from the second link.
You'll find asia rom out there also.[/url]

Yes, it easiest and fastest, no need hexeditor or total commander (that you have to install driver .inf manually). Basic concept is from Dr.Chair.
I don't find any problem, this 2i still can be flash as usual method. I flash more than 10 times with 3 Xda2i.
This morning, I've tested to flash to dopod chinese rom, then I use sd card to reflash back to O2A ia without any problem.
http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=373
Note: I found that SD card whice backup rom from O2UK 2i (bought from UK), can not be used to flash O2Asia (bought from Asia) or vice versa.

Can anyone supply a clean UK MDA Vario ROM please?

I've flashed my UK MDA VARIO with the i-mate k-jam ROM but decided I'd like to go back to the original ROM.
Before flashing the ROM I followed the steps posted by arnoldl to r2sd my ROM to my SD card and then used NTRW to copy the card to a file on my PC. I had to use the card for other things in the meantime and used NTRW to restore the card image ready for flashing.
But whatever I've ended up with on the card is not recognised by the boot loader and I am unable to restore my Vario back to factory spec. I don't know whereabouts in the process my image got broken but I'm hoping someone has, or can create, a clean UK Vario image that can be FTPd somewhere. I'll even host it myself if someone can come up with the goodies.
I only have a 1GB mini-SD card. I don't know if this will be aproblem for a restore from an image on a smaller (or larger) card than 1GB. Does anyone know?
I know k-jam and qtek upgrades/replaces are dead easy because of the .exe install file that takes care of everything. Is there an equivalent for the Vario ROM or can someone make one? I know I'm not the only one with this problem of an unuseable Vario ROM/card image.
Thanks,
Tim.

i think so yes. i'm using it on a k-jam and is very happy with it, for mainly 3 reasons:
- All activesync problems vanished
- Battery life is noticeably longer
- It seems a lot faster
. It seems more stable (fewer soft resets and no hard resets since it came out)
oops thats 4
Where can i get the software to update the Rom to KJAM WWE

Treo 750 dead after flashing wrong rom

I was mistakenly copy the wrong rom into the SD card and run the cheetah unlocker - it starts to flash the rom. After that the TREO750 is dead and soft & hard reset will not help.
I can only go into the bootloader with 3 color screen. Pressing PTT and reset button.
Anything i can do to make this TREO750 work again ?

If you can access the tri-color bootloader screen, then your Treo 750 is NOT dead.
The ROM is bad or wiped but the bootloader is good...that is sufficient for you to flash a good ROM & get it up & running.
What do you see on the bootloader screen?
Which ROM did you copy into the mini-SD card?
You could copy the .nbh file from the original WM6 ROM Upgrade package & change it to CHEEIMG.nbh into a freshly formatted (FAT32) mini-SD card & flash using the mini-SD card method.
thanks konker. I finally figure out the way to flash it with original ROM.

Hi everyone,
I have a big problem and I need urgent help please. I have ATT 750 unlocked and I'm outside the States now. My Treo was 6.0 then I upgrade it to 6.1 so far so good.
Then I saw a custom rom that I thought it was interesting. the custom rom was for HTC Dimond I think. without paying too much attention. I started the upgrade. It went 70% before the upgrade crashed.
Now my Treo is not responding to anything. I have the original ATT 6.0 SD upgrade and I have the 6.1 lite upgrade. I'm using CheetahUnlocker to flash the SPL (that is working) but when I try to install the 6.0 or 6.1 using Kaiser Custom RUU v1 it crash.
I saw the post above that suggest to place the original 6.0 on a freshly formated SD and install from there. that is not working either. when I try to install the software it goes into these steps before it crashes: btw, I have the tri-color bar and it has the following info:
CHEE100
IPL-0.20
SPL-1.40.01iNex
while update in progress i see the following:
CHEEIMG.nbh
SPLASH1 - OK
BOOTLOADER - OK
GSM - OK
MicroP - OK
EXTROM - Fail
OS -
After the crash I get this msg: "Update Terminate Update Failed"
Any suggestion please? need more info? then let me know
Thanks in advance
Sam
Any answer
Hello Sam,
I actually had the same problem, did you get it fixed?
Please let me know, how?
Thanks a lot
Same problem here
In the 3 colored screen just displays this.
Palm Tr
IPL-0.20
Palm Tr
SPL-0.21.0000
When i insert the freshly Fat32 formatted SD card with the rom , apears "loading" for about 2 seconds and then just ends with the tricolored display.
Thanks for any advice.

You need to run Hard SPL first before flashing any ROM.
Your display would look like safisam's if you had run Hard SPL. (SPL-1.40.01iNex)

Have you tried re-downloading the ROM in case you have a bad file? Also, have you tried a different SD card, or re-formatting the SD card you are using? Sometimes that will help, and make sure the CHEIMG file is the only file on the SD card.

First of all, please indicate which ROM you loaded on your device.
Secondly, it would help the community to help you if you could state what software modifications you've performed on the phone. eg. HardSPL etc
Lastly, a list of installed software on your phone would be useful too.

From your description, it seems both of them are original stock ROM. Is your Treo a telco branded model or a unbranded unlocked model?
If the latter, you did not have to run the other utilities to unlock the phone...just flash the ROM.
I see that you ran the ExtROM unlocker...why did you have to do that?
The ExtROM is used to store device specific ROM customization that you should not have to bother too much if your ROM is a unbranded ROM (ie. not AT&T ROM etc).
If you left the ExtROM in it's unhidden state, that could be why the system is reporting the amount of free space to be so low. You should hide the ExtROM & then hard-reset the device again to see if that solves the problem.
