Im sorry maybe im being stupid but the wiki really isnt clear. well at least it requires prior knowledge of command prompt.
So i have followed all the steps on the wiki upto:
Determine your operator Information e.g.: "T-MOB101", or "Vodafone", or O2. See GetDeviceData.
Open a command prompt, go to the folder where the ROM file resides (nk.nbf) and execute: SetOperator ???
(where ??? is your operator).
So I open up command prompt but have no idea what to type
the .nbf file is saved in D:\Documents and Settings\Andrew.ANDREW-30KU0MC0\Desktop\Blue Angel\Helmi_BA_WM2k5_AKU3.5_v.1.4 at the moment.
my operator code is currently ORANG001 but it is running a O2 sim card if that makes any difference?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Wow I must be the only one to have ever upgraded to WM2005!!
come on guys please?!
andypa1 - if you are being stupid then that makes 2 of us because it is very unclear to me also
I know mate, iv searched the forum for ages, read the wiki all morning. took a crash course in flipping ms dos. so I gave up and just copied the file without doing any operator changes.
Doesnt work, comes up with an error like wrong device or something.
the point of a wiki is that everyone can follow it simply. as soon as someone tells me the answer I will rewrite the wiki because it isnt clear to anyone who doesnt know the command prompt.
Yes, you are both dumb as sh*t. All this is clearly described on the forum, but none of you moved his butt to SEARCH. Its better to flood the forum with stupid questions, eh?
GetDeviceData.exe is to be executed on the PPC, DeviceData.txt contains the operator string that is to be replaced for "???" in SetOperator.bat
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?auto_redirect=1&pagename=TitleSearch&s=GetDeviceData , so don't tell mie sh*t that u did search, andypa1.
wahey look at the big man throwing insults over the internet, behind the safety of a keyboard well do you live in england, UK ? cos if so I say get in the ring.
Firstly if you moved your eyes up to my post you would see that I did infact use the search function. and in the wiki it doesnt say to do that part on the device.
_TB_TB thanks for your comments -i'm sorry it was it too much trouble for you to try and help obviously sarcastic comments are much easier?
Never mind.
andypa1 from what I have read the fact you are using a different sim makes no difference it is what the get device data output is that matters.
Iv got mine working now mate if you want a hand with anything, the rar file I downloaded didnt have the setup.bat file in PH20B folder. Which really didnt help. sigh next job finish getting my new 60gb zune working. hoorah!
you got issues dude

haha and you're a senior member of this? I lived in birmingham for 3 months, worst experience ever, and the culinary contributions you guys give are the worst on the planet. (Im assuming dentistry doesn't exist there, a british mouth is like a shark) You folks have a lot of lip to give, so yeah you can suck my d*ck also.
I think this 'chap' is the only one in a forum for 5yr old phones 24/7.
the real question is, why the hell do you go through with the BS device_data crap when all you have to upgrade is the one sole MaUpgradeUt_noID prog. Extra work for nothing. Senior my ass,
'what your mommy buy you a puter for christmas'
Yes he does have issues, but I have no idea why you feel you need to slag off my country. of all the things you could pick about this country that are crap, you chose the food. I am happy to inform you that myself and every girl I have ever got off with has brilliant teeth. I happen to love the fact that I could get any choice of English or worldwide food I want in my city of Birmingham, my favourite being italian. I think the problem is they kicked you out at the all you can eat, or you just couldnt fit enough in your fat face.
okie, guys enough of that nonsense please.
To who ask for helps, please dont insult the rom provides in this forum, our developers are working hard to bring wm5 up to speed, reliability and stability.
and for whoever replies to question(s), please try to be helpful. I know it's hard sometimes like the question has been asked for so many times, and ppl dont do any research, straight up open a new topic. but yep if u dont feel like responding, just dont.
imatrix
I know you dont believe me cos Im a noob an all, but the wiki isnt clear when the zip file doesnt contain the bat file in the folder im instructed to use. and I used the search function for hours.
Dont lie! we all now that instructions are clear - absolutely )
Now serious -
If you have no idea how command prompt works (but you should!) you can use the one from Helmi 1.4 vanilla version. (Its not the same like Vanilla or Chocolate ice-cream)
1. Personally I dont think you should perform upgrade when you cant find the answers by your own
2. But see the attached file you have to copy it in the folder where nk.nbf file is (I hope you move it into the proper folder)
3. Its just .bat (batch) and this one requires xda3nbftool.exe (it can be found in the folder PH20B1) --> copy it to the same folder.
4. Run it.
----
PS : "Open a command prompt, go to the folder where the ROM file resides (nk.nbf) and execute: SetOperator ???"
it means you will type in command prompt SetOperator ORANG001
cheers mate but iv had wm2005 happily running for a whole day now. I was fine when I found out the .bat was in a folder i wasnt using.
anyways you guys remind me of the comic book guy in the simpsons lol. .
but thanks
You will laugh on the other side of your face...

I agree with that - most of the stupid questions with unsuccesfull upgrades came from the people that failed to READ what to do.
BA_Flash_GOD - one of them said they must be too dumb to figure out how to change the operator. I only confirmed that fact - by simply pointing a search results.
Additionally - I have given an ansfer to their question regarding SetOperator - so what is YOUR problem? :>
You ask the real question is, why the hell do you go through with the BS device_data crap when all you have to upgrade is the one sole MaUpgradeUt_noID prog. Extra work for nothing. Senior my ass - did they ask if it is possible to do WITHOUT the operator thingy? I recall only the question about HOW TO SET the operator.
yoz I come in peace

I've got zero problems, i'm just stating no reason to call him a dumbass. Moral was if you were smart you wouldn't go through the operator stuff for no reason.
Let's help him out, EASIEST way possible, don't go through useless command lines to show the prog that yeah, it's a whatever model, flash. I think the wrong thing to do would be to go through all that operator change when it's never needed.
I figured you'd just say read wiki and leave it at that. We should show some respect to new people, they are the ones giving donations to this site? 'Cheers mates'
so to all that have troubles with any operator stuff, throw that out the window and just get MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe, problems solved.
I got no beef with anyone or the UK, just saying wasn't a pleasent experience, and yes fish and chips for all.
Allright
I agree I got too furious - sorry for that... But they also could have done better, right?
Some ROMS that were on the FTP before are available on BitTorrent, Azureus, eDonkey or any other P2P Torrent client.
A search for the original posted name of the file in a Torrent tracking site will probably do in most cases.
Beneath you will find a list of ROMs that have been found available through searching on PirateBay:

Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102
Remember you help the community by leaving the files in your shared folders as long as possible.
Rom distribution is decentralize from XDA.
XDA Cannot and will not host Material on it's servers that is not allowed.
Which basicly means that the people that own or pay for the rights of use to the Domain, webserver and FTP server, thus supplying us the users with these forums, have nothing to do with the distribution of illegal roms.
I will take a looksee, to see if i find other Roms. Any help in this is apreciated off course.
And i will update the list accordingly.
What do you people think of updating the Wiki to explain what the names of these ROMs represent?
Thats good Noonski that you are taking initiative...Dunno if this will be acceptable though or whether M$ will force xda not to even talk about torrents having ROMs (seems unlikely).Anyways, if this is allowed, I'm willing to pitch in to reseed and also seed the ones I already have with me.
But one thing, though choosing one particular site like demonoid might be a good idea in the sense of having a central repository of all ROM torrents but it has its drawback in not giving access to everyone since its a private tracker. Moreover, since you propose the next release of a rom to be closed, this raises 2 questions:
1. Ppl who are not demonoid subscribers can't get em. Is there going to be any invite system in place for demonoid?
2. even with the invite system how will one determine who gets the invite and who doesnt?
I am happy with my ROM collection and honestly this doesnt impact me at all. If I want a WM6 device, i will just buy it.
demonoid is good, i second that, and as for invites, i think i can give out some, we need to start by making a list, lets say by the number of posts, lol i will wont be getting invites since i have been more of a reader than a replier. anyways, but we need to think outside the box, we cant just cave in.
lets see,
our options are:
1. private ftp, maybe ce4arab.com will allow us to use thiers
2. torrents
3. irc
4. newsgroups, hate them since never got how to use them
5. files upload websites
6. gmail, or yahoo spaces
any more?
it has to be done, we need to do this, we will do it.
cheers
I think torrents are a great way to go. I prefer Pirate Bay since registration is closed at Demonoid it is harder to get many new users using for these purposes. If there are existing torrents pm me and I will be happy to seed as well.

I would love to help out by seeding. I have a T1, not a ton of bandwidth but plenty good to get these pushed out. If someone has something they want me to seed, let me know.

I would also be in favor of setting up a private FTP for those who have something to contribute. If it is not in the public eye then we shouldn't have a problem right. I have been using these ROMS for a while now and would love to help out. I have plenty of hard drive space for it, and a Dual Processor server on my T1.
Send me email if you wanna get something done. Perhaps we need a mini private forum outside of the public eye also, just a thought.
cease-and-desist letter from Microsoft....
While the idea is nice, I think It'll only help get Demonoid get a cease-and-desist letter from Microsoft....
Think you better upload them to newsgroups, like a.b.warez.pocketpc or something.....

I just feeling around a bit. Wading the water.
1. Demonoid has an invite system in place allready.
I have just posted the torrents also on a PirateBay tracker.
And BTW the torrent on demonoid should be open to everyone unless i F^cked up again
2. You are right about deciding who's in or out.
I myself would only invite if i knew that either the user nows what he wants. I could see some of his posts for instance.
It's why having a discussion is a good thing. What do people think is smart. What do the Cooks want.
Do they want the roms to be totally available for everyone including users that should not be playing around with Roms but do add to the attention XDA gets?
As for me i don't care where i post the Roms. It's just that for most of my other torrents i'm a Demonoid user. I'll post them anywhere and seed them anyhow. As long as i don't get them from XDA directly it's none of their biz is it?

Have you seen what else is seeded there?

The three faria roms are available on PirateBay all people now need to do to help out is keep the seeds alive.
Maybe i should reconsider changing my nick there.
if anyone can please seed the PDAviet4 installer that would be GREAT!!! I have been wanting to try it out for a long time now, and i've searched every torrent site i know of and nothing comes up. I myself am helping out with the faria roms. If anyone can please message me with a means of a way to get it, that would be GREAT!
Thank you.
I'd definitely like to see postings of new releases to newsgroups as this is the fastest way to obtain anything that's recent.
I myself have a few roms to share :
buttons 1.05
molski (several)
faria V2 8mb
pdaviet3 / 4
orwells
underground
tmobile 2.26
maybe others...
but I dunno how to post to newsgroups or else
If s/o can explain, i'll be glad to help there
AKU3.2-1.0RC1 Wizard Rom
Yes the thread has been updated.
the
AKU3.2-1.0RC1 Wizard Rom
can now also be found on Pirate Bay.
I want to thank those people that are now reseeding the Faria roms.
I have never stated and will never state that I am the person that uploads these Roms.
Shame that not enough people have picked up on this thread or sollution.
xdaminis-update_22413_2214106_021911GER
Hey it is just getting better.
Don't ask me exactly which rom this is maybe someone can enlighten me?
xdaminis-update_22413_2214106_021911GER
Also available somewhere on the fast planes of the Net.
A couple of Molski's are up. Someone pull and tell me if it was done correctly (I'm new to Torrent)
links and seeding
currently seeding aku 3.3 8mb page pool
also if anybody wants to pm me i will get back to them i have the links for the rom above and the wizard love rom on a very quick share server
8mb broadband and no leechers

&
RUU_Molski.Biz_Faria_AKU3.2-3000_3000_024711_WWE-30MB-CF2-G3
Are working fine on the Bay.
It's also funny to see how the 8Mb faria version is one of the favourites.
Running it myself and loving it.
Also funny to see how these Roms get seeded better than Movies.
(in other words to stay seeded even without leeches, which means a better availability, Yes it my make your seed list bigger, but some torrent clients have filters)
If only we can figure a workaround to MS request for new roms. As it clear that any new release has to be provided by a Cook. And that means a Cook can always be traced to it's afiliation and responsibility of getting the Roms out there. On th other hand A Cook is not XDA-Devs. They just use the Forums to discuss their builds! I asume that since this post (up until now) has not been blocked by an Admin. It means they do not condone this endavour. But still some input of what would be wise to post and what not. Like setting up some forum rules like not anwsering questions to users about where to find the roms. Because let's face it anyone that does not know how to find downloadable content should not be messing with their phoner?
So i'm still waiting for the big shots really. In the mean time i'll just continue my epic search for The Lost Roms!
I have a htc wizard (T-mobile MDA) and I'm not sure which rom to use in the following. What is the difference between them?
faria-htc-wizard-aku3.3-page-pool-8mb
faria-htc-wizard-aku3.3-page-pool-6mb
faria-htc-wizard-aku3.3-page-pool-4mb

My gf has a mac and i freaking hate mac with my life. she works for a law company that looks for people who steal fonts. anyways she has to copy and paste the urls and other info into a excel document. well, she spent 6 hours working on it today and when she saved it as a .xlsx (because she needs to make it into a windows format for her aunt) it turned into a bunch of freaking symbols and signs. she needs this to be fixed asap. she will get fired if this isnt fixed. how can i save it so it is readable again? and please help you guys are the best at this stuff. no smart a$$ remarks either, im already pissed as it is. thanks
and im sorry if this is not in the right section, but I REALLY NEED HELP and i think you guys know what to do
Hey guys,
I just thought I should post this little tip about two sites I know of. Many of the uploads in XDA are mirrored in sites which have annoying download limitations. Some uploaders do it trying to make some cash but at the rate these download sites pay, I doubt they'd make a lot.
In any case, this tip is for people who like to create mirrors.
There are two sites that I'd like to mention. Namely, URL Droplet and sideCLOUDload.
Both these sites provide an unique feature. They provide remote upload to Dropbox.
http://urldroplet.com/ (300MB limit)
https://www.sidecloudload.com/ (25MB limit)
So, next time you want to mirror something, you wouldn't have to trouble yourself downloading it first especially if the file is large or you have slower internet or you use a volume based package.
These sites are also useful for downloading files from slow sites. You add the file to queue and the these sites will upload the files you want to your dropbox and you could download the file without any delays from your dropbox.
If you are new to dropbox, do consider using my referral link when you signup.
My referral link: http://db.tt/5VwCy1q
Great info.
But find it a little useless when you look at it?
Why upload it to someplace to then mirror it to dropbox?
multiupload does it to multiple well known file sharing sites in 1 upload.
I use dropbox and it's great but the tools you provide are more for important stuff. Like let's say you found a software or license package you need allot and you always wanna have it . Well then those sites will let it synch to your dropbox and then a copy is safe on your space.
Rapidshare also has this service now.
In case on this forum where the majority of shares are Kernels,Roms,Apps i would still say that file sharing hosts (not promoting here) are the fastest and best solution to share.
Google should actually make a service like dropbox.

I often see requests to mirror some files elsewhere since some of these file sharing hosts have annoying limitations. This is to mirror already uploaded files. Not all files.
As you know, dropbox has no limitations. Plus, anyone can save it to their dropbox without a problem. Multiupload is great but not a lot of people use it.
This might not be useful for everyone but it might save some time for many.
Google already has a dropbox like service. Google Docs comes with 1GB free storage and uploading as well as sharing for all files but additionally editing for documents.
Thx for the info.
Didn't know Google docs already had it never actually used it shame on me.
Anyways yeah got a point.
Another one then i can add to the usefull list is Rapidshare.
As free customer you have unlimited space & unlimited amount.
Downside is after 30days of inactive it gets deleted and the downloading has a waiting time.

Google Docs has no sync. Maybe that's why you missed it. RapidShare is great and Uploading.com is great too. But, I find the download limits annoying. Sometimes, Rapidshare and similar sites will run out of download slots for free users with no means of downloading the file at all.
urldroplet is great, I've been using it for quite a while. The 300MB limit isn't that great though. Is there something like this for google drive though, preferably with a higher (or no) limit?
I have been spending most of the evening trying to install TWRP on a G7102 phone. There is a lot of information available here on this site, but my biggest problem is with getting the files. As an example there is one listed as TWRP_2860.zip and the only links I can find go to a commercial website d-h.st/Rflr where I have spent over two hours not being able to get past the barrage of adverts, captchas and so on. Even changing my ip address and removing cookies doesn't help. This is a huge time waste and I would humbly suggest that such links should only be used if there is another way to get the file. Google drive is often used and there are files hosted here I believe.
Also having an md5 sum here would help as the files from other sites don't agree with the one I was trying. No idea which one is wrong.
These aren't even big files.
If developers are trying to get money this way then I would happily click on a few of their advert links, but this pit of commercial interests isn't helping with the site experience or the concentration needed for the work.
End of rant.
