Hi,
I've got a Wizard stuck at T-mobile logo. Because of its damaged USB data PINS, special SD card is the only way to reflash it.
I've successfully prepared the Goldcard and I'd like to know how to write ROM data to be visible by Wizard. I know that it should be in binary - like it is written with "r2sd all" command.
"r2sd all" writes ROM directly to SD in the way that it is not visible as a file, but it is possible to write this data to a file which will include OS, SPL, IPL, etc. parts. I know that it is also possible to write it back to SD card and than reflash Wizard.
My question is how to use original .nbf file or extracted .nb files to write it to Goldcard and then successfully reflash the device.
Maybe someone has the file with Wizard backup made by "r2sd all" command or could write it and send me?
Thank you for your help.
Marcin.

Dear all,
I dumped the OS, Extended ROM and Radio firmware to a SD card and
flashed succesfully other devices with it. Now I would like to be able to safe the contents of this SD card to an image file to be able to use my SD card again for other purposes...
I tried w/o any success the OSImageTool from the XDA-Tools, it does
not seem to recognize the image on the card. Nevertheless, it flashes fine to another device....
Is the structure of a QTEK9090 dump completely different so it's not recognized by the OSImageTool ? Is there another tool available for
this ? Or any other way to make a complete dump of the raw SD content ?
TIA,
Willem.
Use this tool to read/write to SD card
* I don't remember from where I download this tools
you can use ntrw ( posted above ) or psdwrite.
the structure is very different from the one used by the wallaby/xda1/osimagetool.
xda2(himalaya), xda3(blueangel), jam(magician), sp3(typhoon), and probably other new models too. all use a similar format,
you can use sdtool to extract the contents of an sdcard.
Is it possible to save the dead device with fine bootloader and even booting mix of ROMS?
Details of this are written here. What exactly should I download and perform?

I have live Qtek 9090 with bootloader version 2.06 can I use it to perform backup/restore procedure with dead VPA III with 2.07 bootloader?
i tried to update my O2i by following the link http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/PDAforum_posts.asp?TID=370&PN=1
everything is ok until i backup the radio rom. System was not responsed, i must to endtask the romupdate.exe and do backup again (but without removing SD card). When ppc downloaded 3% the backup rom on SD card i hard reset it and removed the card. Now my ppc can not update new rom (v1.11), it show only "Serial" in bootloader
i formatted the SD card and copied new rom 1.11.162 nk.nbf on it (inogre the error "the parameter is incorrect", use ntrw.exe). It still do nothing in bootloader
what can i do?
I have found the answer on http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4534

I dun know wht file is it. I was going to write the dopod838cht rom but dun know how to write to sd.
i heard is need IMGFS first or something like this
the rom is onthe ftp
It is 'ntrw' created. You can write it back to SD-Card, but you can't use it for ROM restoration. You should repair the image first, 'ntrw' works incorrectly for wizard SD-image..
Anyway, i've converted this rom to standart RUU, it's here:

Thanks a lot I owe big time
You save my day
Thanks
thank you very much, Button
Hi,
I've read some messages about writing a backup ROM to Mini SD card.
I'd like to do just that.
I want one or two ROM's for safekeeping stored somewhere instead only a backup or official copy on my pc.
As i've read restoring from SD is safer and faster..
I don't intend to use the SD card for anything more than just that.
In the Prodigy Service Manual (Prodigy Service Manual -XA(0813-2005).pdf) HTC uses mtty.exe. There are also instructions in the PDF.
Since HTC uses this, it should do exactly what i want, i guess?
Or is there a better tool?
Don't mind if it's a backup of my device itself or just a copy of the ROM found at this forum.
Thanks,
Allegro.
P.S: Will a restored ROM from Mini-SD look fresh to HTC?
Or will they see it's a self restored copy instead of a official HTC restore?
Will it reset "everything"?
You can use the romupdate tool.
kill activesync process
get into bootloader (switch off wizard then attach usb while holding camera button pressed keep it pressed until device is on. Youre in bootloader when you see the coloured screen)
start romupdate
choose USB
use the r2sd command to backup (ie r2sd all) to sd
Hi,
Thanks.
Do i need any other commands to download all of the contents of the device (ROM, Radio and Ext. ROM) to the Mini-SD?
I found some commands for the XDA II, are they the same?
Thanks,
Allegro.
----------------------------------- XDA II instructions----------------------------
For backing up only WinCE ROM to SD card, enter
“d2s”
For backing up WinCE ROM, Radio ROM, and Extended ROM, enter

For backing up only Extended ROM, enter
“d2s 70000000 01080000”
Structure of the Wizard rom dump on sd is similar to that of the Typhoon.
See
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TyphoonSdImages
for details.
What i do is dump the part needed.
ie. the spl (bootloader)
Code:
r2sd spl
Then close down Wizard
Put sd card into pc
use 'psdread.exe' from 'itsutils' to get an image file from the dump.
ie. if i dumped spl:
Code:
psdread f: 0 786432 myspl.nb
(where f: is sd-card)
Hello. I have two TOPAZ devices, which both have been flashed with a custom ROM. I flashed them around 2-3 months ago. When i tried to turn one back to WM 6.5 Original, it got bricked. So :
1. Can a TOPAZ be restored to the original factory state?
1.1 If yes, how?
2. Is there anyway to unbrick a TOPAZ?
3. Should this be 4?
Excuse my english
Thanks,
Mike
Bricked??? Lets see... To flash the original ROM, do the following:
1. Extract the original downloaded ROM-file (should be an self-extracting .exe file).
2. Copy the extracted .nbh-file to the root of your sdcard and name it: TOPAIMG.nbh.
3. PowerOn phone holding the VOL-DOWN key pressed until Rainbowcolorscreen apears.
4. Press Power to start internal flashing.
5. After flashing, Softreset...
Thats it... if one of these steps fail, please describe exactly what is happening.

WOW man!! That WAS a fast reply, thanks. I am at work right now, so I can't do much although, how do I extract the rom?
"2] Format your SD card into FAT32:
- go into dos and type:
format <volume> /FS:FAT32 /A:4096
3] Run Qmat to create a gold card:
- Put the formatted microSD card in the working WM device and connect via ActiveSync
- Run Qmat, Go to Hardware Forensics and select 'Generate HTC Goldcard'
- Select your bricked device's key
- Get the SD Card Serial from WINCE Device
- Save the Goldcard image to the SD Card
Now you have a SuperCID which allows you to flash any shipped ROM"
*thats from the sticky under unlocking/flashing*

thanks for the quick responce. so let me get this straight,
: i format my MicroSD
I connect it to my PC and with Qmat I Generate an HTC Goldcard
*didnt get this part* my bricked device's key? how do I do that?
then I use WINCE to get my serial(sdcard)
and now save the goldcard image to sd.
Is this correct?? thanks
Now, after i follow these steps, how do I flash the rom? same way as usual, or is it a special method?
and last, this is for unbricking?
Thanks again.
btw will the method in post 2 work for a fullyworking custom ROM device?
It seems like its basically just allowing you to connect your phone - enter bootloader - and run the .exe (TopazRUU) from your computer to flash a stock rom.
you should read the post in the first sticky, then look at "unlocking/flashing" and you will see #5 Unbricking
thanks
Is your problem solved?
yes, it is!! thanks everyone
