help on the firmware pls! + extended rom - PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General

hi there
I've imate pda2
i've been reading and reading
lately i've upgraded my rom to o2's Modified XDA_IIi_Upgrade_v1.11.162_Radio_1.04 thingy
though its nice and all i hate the O2 logo right next to the start button
also the splash screen..
how can i remove those is 1 thing
the other is
is there a newer version for my imate pda2 ???
last: what are we supposed to see when we unlock the extended rom?
i've tried some methods but its not really working..
I do see the windows directory i believe thats normal (it always existed )
when i went to registry to look for [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
I don't have that key instead i've TRUEFFS_DOC so without the 1
and it says storage in it. which my permenant saved stuff goes into..
so how can i show my extended rom thingy?
thanks :d

To get rid of the O2 crap hard reset you device and when the phone reboot's a O2 looking thingy will appear, type 0506 and then corperate button now you wont have the o2 crap.

corperate button ???

T-Mobile Vario Unlocked and using Orange! Now to flash ROM?

Hi,
Thanks to the very clever people over at www.imei-check.co.uk I now have an unlocked T-Mobile Vario.
http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3000unlock.php
I now wish to know if I can flash my unlocked Wizard with an Imate K-Jam2 flash?
I know there is another post on flashing the the Qtek 9100 with the K-Jam but I dont know if the T-Mobile Vario will pose any different issues or problems.
What I want to know is :-
1) Can it be done, can I flash my T-Mobile Vario with a K-Jam2 ROM?
2) How do I make a backup of my T-Mobile ROM before taking the plunge?
I am a Sony Ericsson P900 convert so please be gentle with me on your responses. I'm no expert but have got this far (Unlocked) by reading these and other forums.
If any of you can help out I would be most gratefull.
Cheers
Lee
I have (had) a Vario from T-Mobile Netherlands. I unlocked like you and ran the ROM upgrade utility for Qtek 9100, available for download on :-
http://www.beyondthetech.com/blogs/kjam/
It works fine. My Dutch phone now talks to me in English.... phew!
@belgilux
What are the advanges of the qtek rom over the vario ??
Niets dat ik kan bespeuren. Enkel is ding dat zijn in WWE - wereld Wijde Engels - dit is good voor mij aangezien mijn Nederlands niet zo goed is. ..
ok thanks ,
mijn nederlands is goed , dus hou hem liever in nederlands
grtx, arnold
Hey, guys, I have the same problem - I want to change the OS from a german to en english one. My device is the XDA Mini S from O2 Germany. Do I *really* need to pay for unlocking first or I can just flash it?
P.S. How did you back up the ROM before the flashing?
hello ingenious ,
as far as i know , you have to unlock it first otherwise you can't acces the bootloader.
buckup of your old rom can be done (only after unlocking).
you need the program romupdate.exe
disable activesync on usb connection
turn off phone
connect usb cable while pressing camera button
start romupdate
chooice usb connection
enter 'r2sd all' this coppies your phone rom to your sd card (sd card will be erased !!!!!)
next step is to dump the sd card to file to store.
you need ntrw.exe and sd card reader
in a dos box in a dir with ntrw enter 'ntrw read dump.nb1 drive_letter_of_reader:'
that will dump you entire sd card to file.
to restore , but it back with ntrw write .......
reset phone while holding voice an camera button and chooise restore from sd card.
good luck , arnold
p.s. i'm wrinting this out of my memory so forgive me if i have something wrong.
Hey, thanks very much
Just a thing bothers me still... If I unlock the phone (i.e. replace the boot loader) won't I just lose my warranty from O2?
mhh that doesn't worry me to much,
officiali it will only void your warrnaty if they can proof that that is the problem.
if not they can not hold it against you (in holland that is) , but you may have to 'fight' for your warranty.

I have successfully replaced the ROM on my MDA Vario with a K-Jam ROM and now I want to go back to the original ROM. Following the instructions by arnoldl earlier in this thread I created a backup dump.nb1 file and used ntrw_189.exe in a CMD window to dump this to a file. This took bloomin' ages since I have a 1GB card - very tiresome!
Anyway, I have now reversed that process to copy the dump file back to the mini-SD card but when I hard reset my Vario I do not get a prompt to restore from the SD card. I only have options to restore to original settings or cancel.
I have allowed a hard reset to complete and the mini-SD card does not even register in the Vario. Removing and reinserting does nothing. I've tried a hard reset twice and still no joy.
Assuming I have successfully created a working ROM image on my mini-SD card are there any other tips or options for restoring it to the Vario ROM?
anyone knows the keys to press for restore an image from sd card ?
I have tried all combinatiosn of keys, but nothing are working
regards
sorry , it is hold camera and voice comm button while resetting.
previes state must be on!!
grtx arnold
Thanks for that. I just realised it says hold camera and voice comm rather than comms and voice comm, like you would normally do for a hard reset.
I've tried a boot with the correct buttons and could see nothing at all on the screen. I now realise there is something but without a backlight it is nigh on impossible to see. Anyway, I spotted that too late and started button mashing to try to get the thing to spring into life. It is now staring at me with a big clear white (lit) screen that dims briefly periodically. I now have no idea what is going on and whether this is the correct behaviour or not.
How long should the reflash take? Will having a 1GB card mean it takes 8 times as long as a 128MB card as it has to read the whole thing? How do I know if this is working OK?There are no progress bars or anything - just a plain white screen.
i did say comm and voice , but i just changed that
reflash was prety fast when i did it , within a minute i thought (256mb)
Oh dear :-( Mine's been blinking at me for 15 minutes now.
I just restarted the process and I managed to see a "Format BinFS Success" message and a progress bar at the bottom which I think said "Upload OS" or something like that - too difficult to read properly in today's miserable grey daylight. But I'm now staring at the plain white screen once more.
Maybe my ROM image is fried. Any ideas how to get hold of a clean T-Mobile UK MDA Vario ROM file?
EDIT : Further info......
Bored of the blank white screen I pressed the reset button on its own. The device reset and this time with the benefit of the backlight being on I could see the Format BinFS success message, a couple of checksum checks and something about downloading ROM and extended ROM. This all took only a minute or two, which seems positive. But then I saw a message about formatting FAT (or FAT32?) and while that was being displayed the screen faded/disolved to plain white and has resumed its periodic dimming.
Unfortunately I now have HTC Innovation and imate branding all over the thing so I can't just pop it back to T-Mobile to fix it. I wish they had a full ROM upgrade/replace image in a .exe, like qtek and imate.
hello,
what means "previes state must be on!! "
i have an 512 mb card and no chance to boot the sd. Has anyone
try the qtek german bin on the xda ftp server here ? i write this
image via ntrw on my 512 mb card, press the camera and voice button and also reset, but the sd card want recognize ...
help! I want this german qtek rom on my wizard.
regards

i only got in this mode when resetting with the buttons pressed when phone was on.
when i first shut it down and then reset it didn't work.

Having left the white screen for a couple of hours there is no sign of anything useful happening. I reset the device and now I am dumped directly to the bootloader screen - there seems to be no software on the device now.
So it appears I can only get this thing up and running again with the k-jam ROM (or presumably Qtek) by running the .exe ROM upgrade file. But for me my option to go back to native Vario software seems to have vanished forever. Maybe I'm just really unlucky but this might serve as a warning/caution for others who want to flash their Vario.

Motin, can you tell us what the ROM is you've just posted? Is it the HTC shipping Rom, and if so,where did you find it (I can find no updates on the HTC site)??? It looks like a Qtek ROM, but there is no Qtek branded Mteor as far as I know.
Please help so we all know what this Rom is!
htc mteor rom
my dear friend this is the shipping rom for the htc mteor and please dont ask where did i get it from cuase i cant say .
thanks
Motin, brilliant, many thanks. It's great to have this as those of us with Mteors now know we can revert if the other ROMs do not pan out. A great find, whereever you got it
@motin: Can you provide ROM version numbers (found in Settings->About)? I think - according to my invoice - that my new MTeoR (got it on 10th of September) has already this ROM. I just want to make sure that it's a newer one, before committing to a download (our aDSL infrastructure sucks big time for two weeks now) that will take forever.
Many thanks in advance.
Frontier, the ROM Motin posted is the current HTC Mteor shipping ROM. I have the same one on my 2mo old Mteor. HTC are saying they will release a neew ROM in the next couple of weeks.

gd day all can any one post or email me ziped file with the 1 voice file saying you have new sms from the dopod 595 i think the lady voice is saying you have new message

if you can thanks
bugger....part 1
Hey,
I have a Dopod 595. I like, love it, its great. In my efforts to improve it, I tried to update it to the imate ROM, because my one still has Chinese in the voice activation section (that dedicated button next to the camera one).
I plugged in the USB, have the latest Activesync, on WinXP Pro with the latest patchs etc. Then using the imate ROM avalable on the FTP here, I started teh update procedure. it detected the phone etc etc, the phone went to a white screen. Then before it started uploading the new ROM, an error comes up about how this phone isn't an imate one, & it exits, leaving my phone at this white screen. I panic (in hindsight, not my finest hour).
I didn't want to reboot the phone because I didnt know if the updater had already deleted the OS, which would be very bad. I re-ran the imate updater, same error, same place. So i run the Dopod updater, in the hopes that it will put a fresh ROM on there & all will be good.
The Dopod one works (horay!), the phone goes into the 3 color screen (which i now know is good) and it take about 20 min to load the ROM. Then the updater says its done, closes...
dopod 595 rom install
gd mrng sir this is very solotion
just run any of the rom files and when you get the 3 color screen on the device wait for the erro on the pc that will tel you it cant be install then dont do nothing just close the window on the pc and re run the install software this time it will let you install any rom .
rgds
bugger....part 2
My phone is now on a pure white screen with the HTC logo in the middle. it sits there forever. I wait for about 1hr, thinking maybe its doing something, then I try to turn it off, but i can't, so i pull the battery out. When I put it back in I gat a black screen with the Dopod logo for 1 sec, then back to the HTC screen (with full backlight on constantly). I plugged in power and left it overnight, but nothing is changing....none of the buttons do anything either.
Any suggestions would be realllyyyy nice about now. I think i might have turned my phone into a night light (due to the unrelenting backlight).
motin, I never get into a 3 color screen again though, is there a way to force it? The pc doesn't seen to detect the phone when i plug in USB.
Thanks for the quick feedback
dopod 595 rom install
1. take the battery out
2. press both camera and power botton at same time
3. wait for the 4 color screen to appeer
4. connect the usb cable and then u see the serial word change to usb
then run the install again and update here
if you want we can chat on msn just email me
OMG, thank you!! I thought i was a gonner for a bit there.
I am about to flash it now, I will update when i know how it goes.
ThankyouThankyouThankyou

Get Stuck on bootloader

Hi,
I have a used qtek 9090 With the Italian version.
When i try to upgrade the rom to a english one, ou upgrade with a original italian version it always get stuck on the bootloader screen.
On the PDA i get a screen only saying usb 2.07.
On the PC it get's trying to retriev information.
If I cancel the operatio after a while I have to run a litle program to get out from bootloader.
So I need your help with this.
My guess is the pda it's locked or something is wrong with the bootloader.

use Mitty, when stuck on bootscreen
which instruction pass to multi-port tty with device stuck on bl?
I've tried your solution but it doesen't work on my device.
I See again:
- Serial v2. 08 (outside of cradle)
- USB v2. 08 (inside cradle)
My device:
Vodafone VPX 1620
Model PH2OB2
Thanks to all
I also have a Qtek 9090 and am stuck on the "serial v2.08" screen. I've searched all over the internet for the last hour and while this site is (by FAR) the best resource I still haven't been able to get past that screen. I've tried hard and soft resets by holding down the power key, voice record key, and pushing the stylus in the reset button on the bottom with no luck. I've tried just the power and reset buttons and even all four buttons (reset, power, record, camera) - which was a little hard to manage But now I can't figure anything out and could REALLY use some help as I'd hate to have an expensive paperweight after only owning this unit for four days.
Btw, I've gotten to this point while (rather stupidly, in hindsight) clicking on EnterBL.exe during an attempt to upgrade to WM6
Success! I got it after all!

Think I have killed my dad's phone !! HELP

Was updating my dads SPV M700 to WM6 and have hit a problem ....
The rom image updated ok, and I used AX3L's 2.0.8.
Unfortunately during the GSM update the software crashed, and froze at 51%. I had to re-boot and now I can't use the phone.
When I re-set the phone it says No GSM at the HTC screen and then stops loading at the WM6 front page.
I can get into the Bootloader by pressing the Power/Camera/Reset buttons, but when I try to re-flash GSM is says error 270, corrupt image. I have tried several files with no luck.
I would appreciate a hand ..... My dad is going to kill me
Thanks
gaz_az
try press
power button + camera + reset
to enter usb mode
then reflash the radio again.
hope this works
You can try 2 other things!
Download the Radio ROM again- you may have had a downlaod glitch in the 1st one. V1.38 is the best one to try.
Download and install the offical HTC WM5 ROM- this should be a full ROM including Radio, so sometimes completes more effectively. If you are brave, you can them retry the WM6 flash!
since bricking a hermes i stopped taking chances doing rom upgrades via usb..
the method that is most reliable ad safe is... via SD card
extract RUU_signed file from the upgrade pack (use winrar) and then copy it to the root of a blank sd (mini or micro etc) and rename to TRINIMG.nbh ..enter bootloader and follow the steps.. its fast and most reliable
Ok - Thanks for the help, but no luck so far. I have tried the suggestions above !
Heres what I have done ...
Hard reset - no change
Tried to re-flash with WM6 and WM5 cooked roms, but an error comes up saying the images are corrupt. This happens with any image I try.
I have also tried a legit HTC WM5 rom upgrade image, but it doesn't work either. It gives an error at 1% saying invalid device ID.
What I can do it get into the standard bootloader screen, which shows I have a USB connection when plugged in. If I allow the phone to boot up it stops at the WM6.0 picture. It won't go far enough to allow me to get an activesync connection.
ANy more adivice would be greatly appreciated !
gaz_az
Next thing then, is to try and obtain a downloaded Orange M700 ROM- there are a few links hereabouts.
For some reason, your device seems to want only its home ROM. If that fails there are other methods before sending back to Orange!
I downloaded an Orange rom, but still no luck. It gets to 1% again, then says there is a error/corrupt image file. Same as any of other cooked images !
What next ??
well if you were my son, i would advice you,to buy a plane ticket for somewhere very far,leave the house while i sleep,and pray every day you have left in your life,for not find you on my way
uhm, question about boot loader and flash on boot loader mode.
I copy file TRINIMG.nbh to root card mini SD, and i can't go as you say...
always Tri colors screen....

You are running out of options
Your choices now are to go further down the 'fiddling' route, or give up and return the phone to Orange for repair. At least if its is stuck in bootloader, they may not spot that you have been meddling
If you want to play more, there are very few Trinity specific fixes, but possibly some of the questions/answers in the Hermes WiKi may help, though the Bootloader versions etc won't be relevant.
[Edit: When you are in Bootloader mode, what version numbers are showing on the screen?]
is it so wrong i was smiling when i read this.
does make me wonder if u told ur dad what u were going to do or whether u were trying to be cocky by giving him a better phone without him knowing.
all i can say is, UNLUCKY !
I must say things are looking bad - I think it would take an original orange SPV rom if I could get one. Been to the orange website, but no luck !! Anyone know if orange released one ??
Been looking at the Hermes unbrick thread. Is there a way to enter KITL debug mode in the trinity ??
G
P.S. Dad knew I was upgrading the phone, already did it once for him and it went ok. No sure he knew I could acutually kill it
No Orange haven't released an official rom.
Well Orange UK haven't Orange FR have, so unless he speaks and reads french that's not an option.
Well, French or not, you've probably got nothing to lose by trying to load the official French ROM
Go Here and click the Mise-a-jour link (which is French for ROM) and it will open a zip file download without the need to verify the IMEI number.
If that doesn't work, nothing will! If it does load, you will at least have a working phone, even if it is in French, and you can go back over the ROM update again, remembering to apply the SPL Bootloader first!
Still "not allow", i don't know what the hell Orange was doing with P3600?
Lock everything?........it's suck !!!
No luck with the French ROM. Same thing gives an error message about wrong device ID.
I am one step from chucking it in the bin. Any more last minute ideas ??
erh, bizzard,i can't use "wtty.exe" to view my CID ...
i tape "info 2"and it always appear
Cmd>info 2
CID: Wait interpreter timeout
HTCSF kEØ(HTCE
Cmd>
...............................
Someone have issue for that?
If i can view CID code,i think i can find the right ROM to re-vivre...all suck !!!
erh, hey guy, your boot loader is english or french? sorry if it's the most stupid question of the day......i think french device use french boot loader,right?
i mean, when screen tri-color appear, use mini SD card to flash ROM, the language it apprear itself is english or french.
p/s : i was telephone to the HTC center, and they say as usual, send it to the center repair.
For french user address is : be sure u have enough garanty which required.
send them and make them crazy.....

Diamond warranty, Flash Problem!

Hi Guys,
I have a great Problem with my XDA Diamond! Since one month my touchsreen didnt response! At the moment runs olinex 1.40 at the pda. I have flashed the newest o2 rom and that work without a problem! But i cant start my device because the first adjust doesent work.... (touchscreen dosent work). I tryed Hard-SPL Unlocker post 39 that i can send my device back to the O2...
but at the process on the screen of my pc i have 0% for a time than came Error 202: connection....
activesync is ok!
I have tryed to update the olinex but the same problem ...
also with other roms...
I hope anyone of you have a idea because i wanna have my pda back ....
sorry for my bad english!
Thanks a lot!!!
L3xX
If Your touchscreen doesnt response, i think it would be a external problem. Did you drop it?Water spill...Maybe try flashing a new rom like Energy Rom 6.5 with maila 2.5(sense 2.5 UI) I just got my CDMA Diamond this Saturday. Great phone with the Windows Phone 6.5 Rom. Sorry but i tried to help but couldn't. If u have a warranty try to e-mail or contact HTC, maybe they might send you back A HTC HD2! Oh the link for Energy Rom is at PPC GEEKS - http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=74084
I had the same problem
There are two different ways I fixed mine
1) Press and hold the power button + volume down + enter button (menu) while holding press the rest with the stylist. continuing to hold the buttons until a white screen comes up allowing you to hard rest the device.
2) If 1) doesn't work try try unlocking your phone again then putting a new rom on it. (this will work as long as your phone will connect to the computer, with two beeps)
well I hope this helps
Hi great thank to you! but this steps i´ve allready done!.
Bevor i can give my device into de warranty i musst flash the normal bootloader!!! in my eyes this Hard-SPL Unlocker
But this dosent work!
