OK, been trying to figure out this ROM update hotchpotch for a while now, and while I have some better knowledge, some of it still isn't clear.
Before you say use the search, I have, but as I say, it's all so random and all over the place it's unclear.
OK, so I have an M2000. I am running as follows:
Operator Version 5.12.1.139
ROM Versn 1.12.22 WWE
ROM date 09/27/04
Radio Versn 1.04.00
Protocol Versn 1337.35
ExtROM Versn 1.12.139.WWE
BT v1.0.0 Build 2200
Now looking at what versions are available, this seems pretty old, right.
Now as I understand it, the ExtROM can be updated by unlocking it, replacing the files from the 1.31 archive, re-locking and doing a hard reset - then once it's booted it'll go through the customisation procedure like it normally does, only with the updated ExtROM (which I can customise/cook to what updates I want).
OK, so I understand that much - however...then I have a mismatch between ExtROM and Normal ROM, right?
ROM would be 1.12.22 and the ExtRom would be 1.31.XX yes? Is this a problem?
How do I go about updating the main ROM to 1.31 also? The same goes for radio and bluetooth. I know full well that my bluetooth is well out of date - but there are so many versions, most of which are unhelpfully named. One I see said 1.00.3500, which is what I hear is what I want, but what are all the others about?
Can anyone help put it into plain english for me, without saying "Use the search" or posting a link to wiki?
Thanks.
If you have a look at this thread, it gives you a process you can follow. It is for an older set of updates. But if you have a look on the FTP site and pick full update files with the 1.31 CE rom and 1.06.02 Radio rom, you should be able to follow it through.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=16251&highlight=
OK, i had a look through, and it sorta makes more sense, but the problem is the updates are so different I don't get it :S
For example, the file names on the ftp are so cryptic it doesn't help.
I have downloaded 1.33.10WWE.rar which is apparently a CE ROM from the SX66....
...however, I am aware the SX66 doesn't have a camera - does this matter?
Furthermore, in the bat file, there was a reference to an ms_.nbf file - I cant find out what this is. Do I need it?
I'm assuming nk_.nbf is the ROM itself.
Also, with regards to the radio ROM I have downloaded Radio 1.06.02 Edited for German Tmobile MDAIII.rar
What does editing it for German T-Mobile do? Does this have an effect?
Basically I could probably figure it out if everything had standard names. So far I don't think I've seen any naming conventions for the files, so I'm at a loss as to what I need.
OK, just found a useful page here:
http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=154
that managed to explain it a bit better.
So, it seems that the ms_.nbf is essentially the extrom, yes?
So how can I take the ExtROM Orange_UK_SPVM2000_Ext_ROM_131124.zip
and use it as an ms_.nbf?
or have I got it all wrong?
I have just got that new O2 one that was released recently, but I don't want O2 stuff plastered all over my phone...
OK, as a starting point I just tried to update the radio rom to 1.06.02.
After getting a little stuck I managed it ok, and it seems to be working fine....
Now all I need help with is figuring out how to get the other 2 bits sorted. i'm not too worried about the nk file (although it would appear it needs a password, which I'm unsure where to obtain)
but this ms file has thrown me way off course. Would I need to say, use the O2 one, and then re-do my ExtROM folder with the Orange stuff?
Assuming your device has the 1.31 rom on it, and Radio 1.06.02 (as you say you have installed. Then it's pretty easy to update the ExtRom to the latest Orange one.
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 hard reset.
If you haven't got 1.31 CE Rom, then you may wish to follow this method:-

I need help, please!
I got a Qtek 9090 in Spanish and I would like to have it in English.
I tried to follow the steps described in
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_GettingStarted
but I cannot find what version is the one I need to download.
The Device Data I have is the following:
model no: PH20B
minor version model no: 0 B
language code: ESN
minor: N
operator code: DANGA304
rom version: 1.22.03
minor: 0 3
extended rom version: 1.22.132
radio version: 1.06.00
minor: 06.00
Can anyone tell me if there is a WWE version I can download to upgrade my device into English language?
Thanks for help

wiki has a new topic.
How to upgrade to the latest rom
Have you read it?
Yes, I checked that topic and that is where I found the steps I need to follow to upgrade my qtek. However, I need to find the right version to download it and install it in the phone.
In the topic they explain that the version has to be higher than my rom version and my radio version and I don't find any WWE file that has a rom version higher than 1.22.03 and radio version higher than 1.06.00.
Does it exist? Where can I find it?
Thank you for your help.

Download the I-Mate 1.40 WWE Rom.
thank you for your reply,
but, please, can you tell me what is the difference between the i-mate, qtek and dangaard version. Remember I have a qtek 9090, is the i-mate version the best for me? I am afraid of doing something wrong that can ruin my phone.
Thanks again
Matoha
Its all in the ext rom, check wiki, read about the ext rom, have a look at the ERK of those 3 roms.
Well, changing the language of your device is not supported and will void the warranty of your device anyways, so it doesn't matter which carrier's rom you put in.
Personally, save the same problems as the other 1.40 roms, and with the solution I found to the GPRS problems, the i-mate extended rom is the best, especially for someone who likely will not be cooking a custom one.
Hi guys,
I downloaded the i-mate version and I followed the steps, extracting the files, changing the fix.bat but when I run the upgrade I get the following error:
error 123: radio image file checksum error. the rom image file to be used for the update is corrupt. Download the correct rom update and try again.
Is it because any of the passwords in the fix.bat is wrong?
Is it because I should use another rom?
I tried with the Qtek and Daangard versions and I always reach to the same point.
Any idea?
Thank you
Matoha
Did you try the first method outlined here?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.40.00_Upgrade
First Method (Quicker/Easier, but not well tested)
1) Download update to desktop
2) Unrar or unzip all files in exe or rar into a new folder
3) Open the folder with the extracted files
4) Download this file: MaUpgradeUt_noID.ZIP (ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/Tools/MaUpgradeUt_noID.zip)
5) Extract MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe from this file and place it with the other upgrade files.
6) Continue to upgrade as normal, except run this new exe file instead of BaUpgradeUt.exe
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
I manage to do it with TheLastOne explanations.
Matoha
I'm glad I could help.
Enjoy the improvements of 1.40 (although limited, IMO).
yes this is real.
The KJAM rom, which can be found in the FTP of this site, is working on the Qtek9100 !!!
does anyone have any thoughts about that? is this ROM a better one than the 9100? I think it is!
From what I understand, The KJAM is slower with its rom then the QTEK. Because KJAM is full of apps which might not be needed. Once those apps are removed it should be exactly the same ( are the rom version numbers not the same )
ANyone have any views on this ?
I believe the ROM dates are different, with the K-JAM being 9/16/2005 and the Qtek at 9/22/2005. I don't know the difference between the two, but I'd be interested to find out. Also, I'm still trying to find out how to change the splash screens (HTC, then i-mate) when it boots, but it's different than previous HTC models so far (not splash?.nb).
As for the apps, the difference does lie in the Extended ROM, so once you've custom-tailored that area, they should be identical.
HOWEVER, people on HowardForums are complaining about the Bluetooth in the 9100, where K-JAM users don't seem to be having an issue. I didn't check up further on this, can anyone confirm?
Would yo umind sharing information about details? How to avoid device ID error? IS there hacked exe file? I need to flash my QTEK with IMATE ROM since I think BT performance in IMATE is way better.
TIA
bt on the qtek smells
Grill! Wake up and give us a clue,please!
I did the soft reset after the WM5 setup so that the crap wouldn't install and it works great
so what did you do?
imate rom on a qtek???
i got a vender error when try to install the k-mate rom on my qtek 9100. what´s the trick, that it work without the error? please help!
nice we have to get around that.
Anyone try to place the Wizard in bootloader mode first before running the upgrade utility?
If someone can point me out to the Magician upgrade utility with the NoID hack and give me the original file as well, I might be able to do a byte-compare and apply it to the Wizard's upgrade utility.

Hi,
I don't think this is the good way because I unpacked the "KJAM_WWE_ROM_1010903_104_10110_cdl_wwe_ship.exe" (rename to rar)
and I've foud the following files:
EnterBootLoader.exe
nk.nbf (74 MB)
README.doc
ROMUpdateUtility.exe
RUUGetInfo.exe
RUUResource.dll
I don't know which file have to change to "MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe".
Any idea?
THX
TB
Again, if I can find out how the NoID utility bypasses the check by comparing it with the original (does anyone have the exact file before it was hacked?), and we can compare, it'll be a start to look for similar code or text in the EXEs or DLLs of K-JAM's upgrade utility.
Find me the unmodified version of the NoID utility. Look on the FTP, and check all the other Blue Angel ROM update utility's EXE files...

Looks to me that somebody who knows howto and has this phone for testing could to edit the The ROMUpdateUtility.exe to bypass the country id errors,
And use as refference maybe the hacked no id loader for the BA.
P.s. the original MA upgrade utility should be found in the original roms from the providers of the Magician devices, we got it from them if i'm right.
Hope it helpes a bit,
I'm no developer, but this file sticks out in my mind..."RUUGetInfo.exe" If that is part of the upgrade installer then it looks to me that it is looking for the actual device ID, and it probably has to fall within a certain range to allow the upgrade to proceed. Something to the effect that each country, language or brand has a range. If your device isn't in that range, you are SOL.
With each generation they do something different, and more difficult.

i think it has to be in the ROM if not then all we have to wait for is a update from qtek and switch the nkf file

Nah, it's Much more involved than that. Just look at the process taken to develop the method to do it on the JAM, PDA2K, and so on. With each generation they make it more difficult.
Dopod 838 > K-Jam rom upgrade.. need some work
I had under my hands the Dopod 838 which is infact the cH version of the WIZARD.
I would like to load the imate K-Jam rom to the Dopod
Playing a bit with the machine, it seems that the Boot loader is actually looks like the Typhoon, the TyphoonNBFTools utility will decode the NK.NBF file but I am not sure what is the Vendor ID of the Dopod.
On top of it after altering the Languge from English to WWE and made the vendor DOPOD, the romupgrade utility reports the new version going to Prodigy and the Lang is English. it seems that although the TyphoonNBFTools was able to decode the NK.NBF, the upgrade application did not take the header information.
I did run also the Boot loader command under the MTTY (on the usb port) and command that did work for the typhoon "R2ds all" responded that I do not have the authority to dump the rom image.
Tried the command password WIZARD and although it did take it, still was not authorized to dump the rom image.
If somebody could help find a method to bypass the protection of rom , upgrade (bypass vendor , Country code...) it would be very helpfull to exchange roms.
:shock:
I've been playing with the ROMUpdateUtility.exe
Well, i've also noticed that the rom is like a typhoon rom.
Ive removed some strings to RUUGetInfo.exe(since this one seems to do the thing), but i cannot test it,
I got error 222, device not responding, (DUH, its a BA :lol
Maybe somebody can replace this file for the original in the folder and try running it. (if it passes the country id and the model no)
But it is a test, use at your own risk.
Do not blame me for anything.
I just finishing upgarde radio rom of my dopod 838 with cingular radio rom
btw after finishing & restart the device, they can't going up to the windows mobile system, and still runnting at booting mode with cingular booting picture.
also i cant see the radio rom version at boot screen, did they lost?
then I ask to the servcie centre at my place, they say my dopod must be buy a new dopod mainboard $300 US. and chenge them
Did the service centre haven't hardware/software installer for repairing my dopod?
Well you will find that if you use a Radio that has not been made for you phone, it could do alot of damage. So you may find that the service centre is right!
If you used one of the Radio Only Roms then the splash screen would not have changed.
Download and flash one of the Roms for your exact Device & Carrier.
Then find the sticky post on Radio Only Roms and download and flash the one you want.
Problem solved.

First, if you have a Cingular Splash Screen then you used the wrong Rom since you only wanted the Radio updated.
Here is the thread for the Radio Only Roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=268031
Second, the problem is not that your device is locked but rather that the Cingular Rom reports version 2.25 which is higher than the two Dopod Roms (2.19 English & 2.23 Chinese).
What you need to do:
Download one of the Radio Only Roms (from the above link). Extract the contents to a folder on your PC.
Download the desired Dopod Rom Upgrade Utility from here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Upgrades
Change the file extension to from .exe to .rar and then extract "nk.nbf" file to the folder from step 1 (overwrite the existing file).
Enter Bootloader Mode (Press Voicedial button + comms manager button + soft reset. You will get a screen with 3 colored bars).
Connect your phone to PC with USB Cable.
Run "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe"
Let us know if you get it fixed.
Yes
thanks All

hi guys,
i was excited about the new Radio upgrade, so i tried to flash it. i got an error, because my SPL is 2.05. so i tried to unlock the phone using jerpelea's guide, flash to 1.09 -->success, then WWE (1.10) but an error occured saying invalid vendor ID during WWE flash. now i have SPL 1.09 on my phone and my phone is stuck on the 2nd boot screen of jerpelea's WM6.1 beta 4 ROM. my phone is fully unlocked using jerpelea's unlock guide, that's how i got to install SPL 1.09 successfully. how can i recover my phone? please help.
Update 1: i tried to flash back the original dopod 595 WM5 ROM. i mixed the RUU updater from the latest official ROM with the nbh from dopod WM5 ROM. the flashing works. when it's 100%, the phone reboots and, i got back to the same problem. stuck at 2nd/3rd boot screen. i now have IPL-0.90 and SPL 1.09 on my phone. Please help me to recover my phone. i've tried to hard SPL shown in the wiki guide, doesnt work. says invalid vendor ID crap. i really dont know what to do now.
Update 2: when the device boots, it stucks on the 2nd/3rd boot screen and if the USB cable is attached, for a brief moment, windows can detect the phone and i can even browse the content of the phone from my PC. but after that, the device disconnects itself and just remain stuck at the 2nd/3rd boot screen. the device appears to be totally freezed/hang. even the LED charging indicator will not turn off when i unplug the device from computer
i believe what i need to do now is to make a nbh image that is signed to i dont get any corrupted image message when trying to flash. i used HTC ROM editor to mix and match the SPL and IPL file so that i can downgrade the SPL to 2.05 and upgrade it again later. but i dont know how to sign nbh files.
If i were you I'd use this one =)

I think I know what do you mean. My device was in very same state like yours few mnonths ago.
Try to run mtty and the command "info 2" without quotes.
Do not forget to disable USB on activesync settings before running mtty.
You will get an answer which includes the CID of your device.
If not (this was my case), you have to send it to the repair center probably.
My device CID was Qtek_A07 (RUS) and I have tried to instal the first official WWE 1.34 ROM update (combined from SPL.nbh and ROM.nbh) and it replaced only the SPL, and the ROM update crashed.
There was not way out so I sent it to the repair center.
The WWE images are expecting the device with CID Qtek_Z12.

darkDirk said:
First of all:
It's fantastic what you are doing with wm6.1 and the Breeze, Futureshock !
I am new and trying to upgrade it myself, but at first I didn't have any luck.
Here is a simple newby step-by-step manual:
- Download and extract a MTeoR-FutureShock-WM61-xxxx.x.rar
- Check your Mteor battery in more then 50 % full
- connect the Mteor to the computer via usb and check if Activesync works
- go with DOS (cmd line) to the directory and start runme.bat
- On the Mteor press camera and powerbutton at the same time.
- then immediately press any key on the computer to continue the batch script.
- now you should see the 3-color bootscreen
- press any key to start the rom-update program and follow its directions.
When the update is finished (in less then 5 minutes), then wait untill the first boot is complete.
If you don't get the 3-color bootscreen or you the update on the Mteor stays on 0 % and the rom-updater displays an error, try testing this:
On the Mteor start the explorer and in the root directory (press UP once) find SSPL.EXE en start it.
If the Mteor won't start the program and there is an error like "insufficient trustlevel".
You need to remove the application lock on your Mteor.
Run SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe on your PC with Activesync working and then install SP_AllowCertificateInstall.cab on the Mteor.
You will find those two in the .rar in ".\opt Software\Unlock Tools"
Then redo from the start.
Then, Have fun !! (Futureshock & DarkDirk)
P.S. works on a BREE100 with IPL-0.90 and SPL-2.05.

2) OS won't load, so can't use any of the ActiveSync-based methods for downgrading to an older version, such as 1.04.
3) CID appears to be corrupted, as per the earlier output pasted.
from other forum ...... so read wiki

i did try to read as much as i could but apparently i didnt come across that. when i flashed to SPL 1.09, the device booted up just fine. it is when i try to update to WWE 1.10, the update process failed and bricked my phone. for your information, i was following the exact steps described by you in your unlocking/SSPL guide. you mentioned upgrade to SPL 1.09, then WWE 1.10. this is exactly what i did. i dont know what went wrong. im sure if im as knowlegable as you are, i wouldnt have screwed up my phone. my bad.
just to be fair, your method did work when i updated my dopod 595 (WWE device) to your WM6.1 beta 4 ROM. but i never upgraded my SPL to 1.10. i only thought of upgrading SPL when you posted the new radio release and that's where i screwed up.
anyway, what is important here is, is my phone unrecoverable? im reading the links you posted as i type, and i'll give the methods. maybe based on your experience, you could suggest some ways to do it. thanks.

hi guys,
i was excited about the new Radio upgrade, so i tried to flash it. i got an error, because my SPL is 2.05. so i tried to unlock the phone using jerpelea's guide, flash to 1.09 -->success, then WWE (1.10) but an error occured saying invalid vendor ID during WWE flash. now i have SPL 1.09 on my phone and my phone is stuck on the 2nd boot screen of jerpelea's WM6.1 beta 4 ROM. my phone is fully unlocked using jerpelea's unlock guide, that's how i got to install SPL 1.09 successfully. how can i recover my phone? please help.
Update 1: i tried to flash back the original dopod 595 WM5 ROM. i mixed the RUU updater from the latest official ROM with the nbh from dopod WM5 ROM. the flashing works. when it's 100%, the phone reboots and, i got back to the same problem. stuck at 2nd/3rd boot screen. i now have IPL-0.90 and SPL 1.09 on my phone. Please help me to recover my phone. i've tried to hard SPL shown in the wiki guide, doesnt work. says invalid vendor ID crap. i really dont know what to do now.
Update 2: when the device boots, it stucks on the 2nd/3rd boot screen and if the USB cable is attached, for a brief moment, windows can detect the phone and i can even browse the content of the phone from my PC. but after that, the device disconnects itself and just remain stuck at the 2nd/3rd boot screen. the device appears to be totally freezed/hang. even the LED charging indicator will not turn off when i unplug the device from computer
i believe what i need to do now is to make a nbh image that is signed to i dont get any corrupted image message when trying to flash. i used HTC ROM editor to mix and match the SPL and IPL file so that i can downgrade the SPL to 2.05 and upgrade it again later. but i dont know how to sign nbh files.

it depends on the info displayed on terraterm
for A07 you can use the russian rom to recover
this is what i got from terraterm. same as mtty.
Cmd>info 2
CID: Wait interpreter timeout

i did flashed back to my original ROM after the first stuck in WM screen incident. and amazingly the flashing process works after several mix and match. after the original (WM5) ROM completed flashing, my IPL is downgraded back to 0.9 and SPL is still 1.09, and im still stuck at the WM logo screen (this time WM5 logo).
terraterm is a tool like mtty
what is your orignal rom??
just try to flash over sdcard... (look in wiki4more infos about that)

i tried SD card flashing too yesterday. it says not allowed. i have already flashed over the original dopod 595 ROM and my phone is now WM5. the flashing is 100% successful, but it is still stuck at the second boot WM screen.
i think im in a really screw up position now. i have SPL 1.09 and IPL 0.9. i dont know what is corrupted now. is it the CID? SPL?
cid you can check with mtty and info 2...
if that so... just do what i have wroted in pm...
you could also just try the old htc rom (w. SPL 2.05)

both mtty and terraterm give me the same msg when i type info 2. it says time out (refer above for exact error message).
the original dopod 595 rom has SPL2.05. and it was successfully flashed into the phone. when the phone reboots, it is still stuck at 2nd boot screen (WM logo). i checked, the SPL is still 1.09, but IPL has been downgraded to 0.9.
