Hi all,
Does anybody know a password for the official German MDA III upgrade? The ROM can be found here:
http://www.t-mobile.de/downloads/company/blackberry/rom_upgrade_mda3.exe
I extracted the nbf files with WinRAR, however I cannot edit any of them using netiher ER2003Edit, nor xda3nbftool.exe.
If anybody knows a working password, please let me know. (The standard ones such as 0x20040304 etc. aren't working.)
Bye!
you could try these :
ms_.nbf 0x20040522
nk.nbf 0x20040521
radio_.nbf 0x20040523
my other guess is this :

Thanks, I troed these already, but I'll check out the post you've mentioned!
Hi Folks
I have an german MDAIII with the original ROM from t-Mobile (austria) and want to make an Romupdate to generic Rom (from dangaard)
V 1.22.173 GER.
SO i unpacked the Romfiles and ran the batch for changing it to look like a t-Mobile rom:
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 GER -so T-MOB101 ms_.nba
xda3nbftool -sd PH20B -sl GER -so T-MOB101 nk.nba
xda3nbftool -sd PH20B -sl GER -so T-MOB101 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
But at the first 3 lines of batch i get the errormessage:
xda3nbftool -x radio_.nbf radio_.nba 0x20040523
WARNING: this does not look like a nbf header, possible you provided the wrong password...
SO i think there is the wrong code "0x20040522" in the batchfile. but how can i get the right one???
is there anything i did wrong?
does anybody have a hint?
Hey
You have run across the same problem that we have on a lot of the roms.
They changed the password on the ecription and we dont know it.
Thus the tool wont work.
For german roms you will need to go the t-mobile update:
List of know Blueangel, sold as, Model ID, Operator code ect
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=15510
Which is also 1.22 with a radio of 1.06.00
Were did you get that other German Rom and can you post a link?

i tried this update but this also does not solve problems with headset, so i wanted to try original rom with newer version number....
This dangaard Rom has radio 1.06.02 in there and this is the reason why i wanted to try it.

i got it from dangaard austria as a test person because i make brandings for some customers. i dont know if it is free, but i'll ask if i can share it...
so what you want to do is just upgrade radio.
Radio 1.06 vs 1.06.02

Ok info looks good.
Now what ship are you using, as in what was the name of the file that you extracted to iupgrade from.
What does the version NR on the top read when you start the BaUpgradeUt.exe?

you posted to me.
also i tired this file: BA_FRA_BelDT_12202_558_10602_Ship.exe

"R2500 D1480 - CB-1" is on the Bottombar if you mean this.
btw: thanks for your help! it is not easy to try without a little possibility to get further ;-)
Sorry need to check somethig, not sure if I am lost here or not.
I undresatnd that you have downloaded BA_FRA_BelDT_12202_558_10602_Ship.exe
You have run a rar or zip over it and end up with a bunch of files.
Here you have del the other two ndf leaving only the radio in that dir
You ran the fix bat
it came up fine
You run the BaUpgradeUt.exe and get an error ???
This is not an insult, I just need to check, please dont take offence

Everything OK, no problem!!
I try to tell what i did in detail:
downloadet the file(s) and everytime extracted ONLY the "radio_.nbf" file.
then i run the fix batch i posted above (without errors)
..and copied the "radio_.nbf" to the other files i extracted from t-Mobile Rom Update. This i downloadet from the t-Mobile Website (V 1.22.01 Radio 1.06.00).
So the t-mobile file ist overwritten with the new radio file i patched für use with t-mobile rom.
so ALL files are from the t-Mobile Update (i sent you the DeviceData.txt) and only the "radio_.nbf" is from the source of the link you sent me.

Yes! After starting BaUpgradeUt.exe the welcome screen appears and when i click "next" then the error comes (see attached Screenshot)
Hey you are doing fine, realy
thougt we had a problem there somewere.
Remember we talked about the fact that they changed the encription on 1.22, well you are using a 1.22 form t-mobile, we dont know that that works and basedon the whole of our conversation it does not.
i extracted from t-Mobile Rom Update.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try extracting the BA_FRA_BelDT_12202_558_10602_Ship.exe
dumping the other two ndf
run the fix
run the update
Post what you come up with
works!
Good idea!!
It worked!
Now i have radio version 1.06.02!
But there is a little thing i dont understand:
i can flash a radio file from FRANCE to my t-Mobile device WITHOUT changing or hacking this radio_.nbf!?!
this means for me that the security check is in one of the files do the Update (like BaUpgradeUt.exe) and NOT in the .nbf files.....
Is there a diffrence between a german, english or a france radio file?
Will answer that after you answer this
Did you run or not run the fix bat?
PS can you FTP back a version 1.6.02 radio, its gone in to this folder

No i did not! Just extracted ALL files to a folder, deleted ms_.nbf and nk.nbf and started BaUpgradeUt.exe

Well does that not prove the fact that the radio has no languge.
BelDT:
You ran an upgrade program with a Rom which was expected Radio wise
T-mobile
You ran an upgrade program with a Rom which was not expected Radio wise.
Tried to fix it (thus changed something).
The main thing is that it works!
I've uploaded the edited 1.06.02 radio rom
I saw that some people had issues with upgrading their radio roms. I've edited and used the following file to upgrade my Austrian Tmobile MDAIII in german language to the newest radio rom ( 1.06.02 ). Here is the link.
ftp://xda:[email protected] 1.06.02 Edited for German Tmobile MDAIII.rar
Just download it, unpack and then start the exe file while your mda is in the cradle. It will update any german language Tmobile MDAIII to Radio Stack 1.06.02. Beware that a hard reset will be required afterwards so do a BACKUP before upgrading the radio.
Any more questions? PM me
Radio 1.06.02 istnt better :-(
Hi Folks!
Since i have radion 1.06.02 on my german T-Mobile MDAIII i can say that the problems i had are not gone!
1.) scratching noise with headset
2.) sometimes headset disconects and never connects when call comes in
so i have to look further for another solution......
@onurd
Thanks für your tip!
Does your Radio work with headset?
Hi please can someone help as i need rom so that i can re install it on my phone as went to do upgrade and now in just on gray screen which said serial please can some help
Can I suggest you have a look through the wiki on how to put together a set of ROM to perform an upgrade. As far as I'm aware there is not standard upgrade for the M2000 available as yet.
Wiki is here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel
If you are a gray screen with serial on it. Then this suggests you are not plugged into the USB port. Put your device in it's cradle and make sure the cradle is plugged directly into the PC, not via a hub. Then just re-run the upgrade as before.
Post back here if you don't make any progress.
just need to get it back
Hi all just need to get it back as it was if poss please help
To get it back to what it was, you will need to tell us what the orginal state was.
Have you had a look at the Wiki? As I stated there is no ready built mechanism for rebuilding a M2000. you will need to create the file set yourself.
Hey Louie
I've got an M1000; perilously similar to an M2000 i suspect
Last evening I noticed this upgrade on the orange website http://web.orange.co.uk/story/sm_1047574.html
2 chances, eh? It's version 3.661.230
Its a 24 meg download, as they tend to be.
It might at least get it working again until either they produce an upgrade for the M2000 or you get your head around ROM production.
Sounds like RTP knows his onions and is giving you the better advice though I smell the panic in your post and sense you might not be in the right frame of mind for learning to cook ROMs!
Best of luck!
hello
Hi mate i did try this upgrade but no go mate it had on it was as
r 1.06.02
g 1337.38
d 1.31.00 we
Help still no go
Hi still cant get orange rom the m1000 will not work
Hi again.
Not sure if this is of any help to you, but here goes.
I tried to install the Orange ROM update but was unable to do so because of a cryptic Country Code error - have emailed Orange to ask em about this.
In the interim I've been using this update from Mysteryman
http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=2282
Try at your peril!

The M1000 upgrade will do you no good. Wrong device, wrong upgrade.
Follow this, copied and edited from a mail by RogerSelwyn.
Download a base:-
ftp://xda:[email protected]/i-mate_PDA2k_Arabic_13100_112_10600_SHIP.exe.
Then extract this by running the file until it gets to the point saying 'Welcome to the device Software Update Utility'. Then copied the files out of the temp directory e.g. 'C:\Documents and Settings\######\Local Settings\Temp\#####.tmp' to a safe location. Then cancel the install.
This will give you the three rom files plus some other utilities. nk.nbf (the CE rom), radio.nbf(radio rom) and ms_.nbf(Extended ROM). These will be 1.31 WWE for CE, 1.06.00 for radio and 1.31.112 Arabic for the ExtRom.
So, to get to 1.06.02 for the Radio rom, we need to download a replacement which you can get here:-
ftp://xda:[email protected]/BA_FRA_BelDT_12202_558_10602_Ship/radio_.nbf
Do the same extraction method as above, but just copy radio.nbf to the directory you copied the previous files to. This will replace the 1.06.00 with 1.06.02.
Now for the Extended Rom. Currently this community doesn't have a method for creating a ms_.nbf, and I don't believe there is an M2000 one ready made. So you can take two routes.
1. Build the machine from the upgrade above. Could be interesting, but you will then need to delete the Arabic stuff in the ExtRom and replace with M2000 English. Not my idea of fun.
2. Put the M2000 stuff in ExtRom before rebuild, then just update CE and Radio. My prefered route.
So for route 2......
Install the Extended Rom Unlocker initially through normal methods, copy the cab and run - ftp://xda:[email protected]_1_22/Tools//xda-developers_Unlocker.CAB. Then under Programs/Extended Rom Tools, click uhide and unlock and do a soft reset.
Download the M2000 ExtRom from ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/Extended_Roms/Orange_UK_SPVM2000_Ext_ROM_131124.zip
Go to the root of your device and into the 'Extended Rom' folder, delete the contents and replace with the contents of the zip file. Then Lock and Hide your extended rom and perform a soft reset.
In the folder on your PC where you have been storing files, delete the MS_.nbf, since you have already installed the 1.31.124 files as above.
Then copy this utility ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/Tools/xda3nbftool.exe into the same directory and create a batch file called Change.bat in that directory with the following contents:-
If you are going route 1, then you will need the lines with ms_.nbf in, otherwise you can delete.
Code:
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 ORANG001 ms_.nba
xda3nbftool -sd PH20B -sl WWE -so ORANG001 nk.nba
xda3nbftool -sd PH20B -sl WWE -so ORANG001 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
pause
The entries in this are correct for an M2000. Run Change.bat, you should get no errors. If you do, then something is wrong.
After that run BaUpgradeUt.exe from that directory. This performs the update, it wipes everything from the device, and can take a while to run. It will install ROM 1.31.00, Radio 1.06.02 (and ExtRom 1.31.112 if you left it there).
Make sure when you run, you have the device connected directly to your PC, not via a usb hub.
Job should now be done.
If not, post back here.
Just to record my thanks
I have an M2000 with the earlier ROM and was getting fed up with poor bluetooth performance. Tried Orange - No help - Found this post, followed it and now I have the latest ROM and it works a treat. Thanks a lot.
No problem. Glad it was of use.
Orange SPV M2000 - latest ROM
Hi
I am new to the ORANGE SPV M2000 having just bought one. I would like to ask about upgrading my ROM as I have seen this file on the ftp site at wiki:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Blueangel/OrangeUK_M2000_140_ROM.rar
30.7 MB uploaded on 5 August 2005.
Does anyone know about this file / upgrade? has anyone had any experience of installing this? Basically, I would lilke to upgrade my ROM to the latest version (i believe its 1.40 ?), bluetooth, radio etc.... but not sure what file to download! (my signature shows my current version)
Thanks for any help.
I have a Wizard, Qtek 9100, and I want to dump the CHN rom to modify. I used xda3nbftool.exe but can't conver nk.nbf to nk.nba file. could any one can tell me about the rom password? and how should i use the xda3nbftool to conver the nbf file to nba file?? thanks a lot!!
