ROM from Magican - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

Hi all,
for to get ROM from Magican you have:
-make a backup of your device with xbackup (it is a program in your MDA Compact).
-insert a sd card on your device,
-press and hold power and camera button and do a soft reset
-connect your device to your PC with the USB cable and disable USB on Active sync
-run MTTY.exe and select USB
-press enter, type d2s and press enter again (these command should backup ROM in to SD)
-when finish (you'll see it by device display) get the SD and insert it to a cards reader
-for to copy the file in SD Card to your PC you have to use NTRW and run it with this command: c:/ntrw read MDAc.nb1 x: (x is your card reader so replace with the letter of your card reader) and get NTRW in C:
-after that you should have in C: a file called MDAc.nb1
Now would be nice to upload it to FTP site or some where else.

Thanks for the information!

how do you do to backup also the extended rom and the radio rom ?
thanks

Hi, when you backup the rom, the extended rom must be also included.

what do you mean by "must" : it's done when you enter "d2s" under Multi-Port/USB TTY ?
And for the radio rom ?
Thanks

Can you use the XDArit or SDCardTool GUI utilities to copy the ROM from the SD card to the computer?

I don't think so!
Anyway seems that nobody is able to dump the ROM of their English MDA Compact!!!

I have an English ROM from Dutch MDA Compact (Locked to T-Mobile) available for those who want it. Please PM me. (IMG file for use with Jeff's XDA Tools)

Could you post your image to xda FTP site?
ftp://xda:[email protected]
Cheers.

@Wiz : your rom image was not good. You sent me a file with a size of 3 Mo on your last email.
Are you sure that Jeff Tools are ok for a magician ?
Thanks to try again maybe with mtty ?

MTTY gives the same result. Also 3Mb ... appears that the tools are not compatible with the Magician

with my german rom, when i use jeff tools the size of my image is 32 243 712 octets.

SD size

The size of SD image should be the same size of the SD Card (if you use NTRW).
Wich command on bootloader are'u using for dumped the ROM to SD?
Any body knows the rights strings?
Thanks.

I am now uploading the English ROM dump from my Dutch T-Mobile MDA Compact to ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician. The filesize is (zipped) 172Mb, so bear with me please, should be finished in 1 hour or so ...

thanks. I opened it with winhex. I am not a expert but something seems still strange. There is 256 Mo of data (and no blank) ?

Has the extended been posted yet? I really want that cool screen rotation app that sits in the system tray.

take note that the magician os rom is 36Mbyte.
see MagicianRomLayout in the wiki for more info.
the old xda-1 'jeff tools' will give you a very truncated rom.

hi,
it's not a cab since it's already instaled even if you don't let autoconfig run after hard-reset.
and it doesn't appear anywhere in the compact folders(windows, programme, etc...)!

Who can give me their T-Mobile number so I can dl the upgrad

hi,
Sum1 here who a T-Mobile subscriber? I have a T-Mobile PocketPC that I need to unlock tho I'm not a T-Mobile subcriber. I need a T-Mobile mobile number to get the upgrade at http://www.t-mobile.com/products/handhelds/pocketpc/download_popup.asp
Or if someone already downloded the upgrade where can I download it without keying-in the mobile number? Thanks.
BTW, I have a question, if I download the upgrade, can I now use the XDAunlock.exe file here (is my ROM automatically updated)? My ROM version now is 3.14.40 ENG. I'm having trouble with the ROM updater here since im not linux literate.
Email me at [email protected]. Thanks a lot
I already downloaded the TMobile upgrade. Can somebody tell me if this upgrade will indeed upgrade my ROM to the correct ROM version with wirelss modem feature to I can use the XDAunlock.exe to unlock my xda? Thanks
The answer is NO, the latest TMO upgrade is 4.01.00 and it has no wmodem.exe application. If you need to unlock your device, go to www.xda-developers.com/XDAunlock/ and use the tool there.
If it doesn't work, try the kitchen at www.yorch.net and cook a new 3.17 based ROM and flash your XDA and unlock it, then you can upgrade to TMO 4.01.00 later.
BTW, the TMO upgrade affects the RSU part. So, unless you are a TMO user you better use the .nbf file only with either SD card or use the XDAtools to flash your device.
Good luck.
Hi Biso,
How can I "cook" a rom? http://kitchen.romanweb.com/kitchen/index.php when I go to that website, the only thing needed to be selected are the 3.17.03 ENG O2-Euro (6656 kB available) and XDA-developers AutoConfig data (113 kB) under it. and the unlocking option right? This wil be the first to use my pocket pc device, which option should I select under How would you like your ROM?
installer EXE
zipped NK.nb1 (SD-card flashing)
zipped NK.nbf (advanced users)
and should I do anything on the NBF header string?
Thanks man.
If I use the intaller EXE file, how will I "flash" it on my device? What are the differences between using the exe,nk.nb1 and nk.nbf? Thanks again.
I notice that above the page there is an indication, by default when I go to the page (without checking or unchecking anything) the top of the page states:
space in ROM: 6656 kB
used: 7729 kB
free: -1072 kB
*overload*
Should I limit my ROM on 6656 kB (meaning that I have to uncheck other options)? My deveice is an XDA 1. Thank you.
Hi ...
Yes, you have to uncheck some optional s/w till the guage line is "Green".
If you are not familiar with the SD method, just select the EXE type. It will generate a 15 MB exe file which you should download it to your PC. Connect your XDA to your PC throught the cradle and ActiveSync and run the exe file while the cradle is connected to the power supply and follow the instructions on the screen.
Good luck.
Thanks man for the quick reply.
Sorry I'm getting confused. Should I transfer the exe file to the device and run the exe file on the device?
Thanks again
The exe file runs from your desktop, your xda will need to be synced with your pc before running the exe.
Thanks so this is what I have to do:
First sync my device (cradle connected to the power supply) and after synching, run the exe file on my desktop computer (no need to transfer on my device or anything?). That's it?
Is this fail-proof? Will it not damage my device if ever there was an interruption or sumthing? How can I make sure that I can go fail-proof? Kinda worried coz I just got hold of my xda 1 (T-Mobile edition), I'm a palm user before. Thanks
BTW, my PocketPC Version is 3.0.12039 (Build 11178). ROM version 3.14.40 ENG. I don't know if my PocketPC is 2002 or 2003. I'll be using the yorch.net ROM (http://kitchen.romanweb.com/kitchen/index.php). All compatible?
ROM 3.14 is a PPC2002 one and all ROMs on Yorch.net is WM2003 except the 3.17 one.
Just to ensure it's a safe process, remove the SIM and SD card from the device and stop any running applications on your PC.
Good luck ...
Thans Biso. How bout a step by step guide? Pls pls pls? Id really appreciate it man.
Like
1. Sync the device (Power connected to the cradle)
2. Run the Rom Exe file
3. etc.
Just to be sure. BTW, is the exe file really just 150KB? Is that all I need to unlock my device?
Hi ...
There is nothing really needed more than what you just wrote:
1. Connect the XDA to the cradle and sync while the power is connected.
2. Run the EXE file and follow the instructions on the screen.
BTW, the EXE file should be at least 15 MB, seems your ROM was not "cooked" well .... try again
Ohh ok. I downloaded twice and all I got was 150kb. how will I know that the ROM i got is "cooked" well so I can be free of troubles. Can you just give me a link to the right/"well cooked" ROM? Thanks man.
One more thing, should I run the ROM EXE file while my device is synching or after the synch?
it's still 150 kb. Here's what it says when I view the log
./mkrom.sh: ../../kitchen.local/mkrom-inc.sh: No such file or directoryno files for configid 26220739Cannot fit files in given sectionsError splitting files
seems there is something wrong with the kitchen work space ... it happens sometimes ... no big issue.
You may try this kitchen as well http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
P.S: run the EXE file after the device is synced
which one should I pick? Pocket PC 2002 ROM or Windows Mobile 2003 ROM. And what's the difference. Sorry for my ignorance. Thanks for the replies.
Biso,
Can I use an MMC card for flashing? I MIGHT be able to borrow an MMC card. Also, I dont have a card reader but I have a digital camera which I can use to transfer the ROM image from my desktop computer to the card. Would you think it would work? Thanks again man.
will the exe file below work for me?

Pls reply. thanks
Hi ...
1. As the figure tells, WM2003 is the latest than PPC2002.
2. I can recommend to use TMO 4.01.00 as I have it on my device for almost 3 months now with no problems so far (few things have to be tweaked tho), but I heard good news about AT&T 30.09 ROM as well.
3. I can't confirm that MMC can replace SD card. I saw some threads on this but no final results.
4. The answer is NO, the only way to move the NBF file to the SD card is either a card writer or by using XDAtools with the XDA cradle. I don't think the card will be recognized by the bootloader otherwise.
5. SER-V12 is a PPC2002 ROM and useful only if you need to unlock your device (which I believe it's already unlocked).
No I just want to unlock the device, that's it I don;t really want a ROM upgrade, just so happens that I need to have a ROM upgrade to unlock the device
SO I can use the SER-V12? Thanks a lot.

Help please using XDAtools as I am a dummy!!!

Sorry folks but I have already posted this and don't know how to delete the previous post. after I reviewed the previous post I don't think I made myself clear enough. Please accept my apologies. But would appreciate help on this.
I have read the majority of the info on XDAtools on the forum and installed I believe correctly. I currently run on Win98SE. I have installed Jeff summers version of XDA tools. And though I think I understand what I am doing I am not totally convinced. Before I embark on cooking roms and upgrading etc I would like to be able to do the following:
1: Dump my current rom from my device to my PC I can do this using
XDAtools OSImage. But have noticed that I can only appear to dump
this as NB1(windows CE(*.nb1) type files if I try to call this NBF I get
the following errors:
”error opening C:\program files\xdatools\bootloader_v5_15.nb0ea for
reading. the system cannot find the file specified”
”error opening source bootloader from C:\program
files\xdatools\bootloader_v5_15.nb0ea. error opening target device”
Is it possible to dump my ROM to a file called ‘xxxx.NBF’? or must I stick with *.NB1? this is not a problem as long as the NB1 file can be reloaded.
2: When I try to upgrade my ROM by using OSImage tool and selecting
source as:
‘C:\PROGRAM FILES\XDATOOLS\BINARIES\ATT160204.NB1’
Select destination as ‘device memory (via Programme A) ‘
When attempting to load an ‘NB1’ ROM from my PC to my device memory
(via Programme A) I always get the following message:
”Programme A not found - run with --register error opening target device”
I originally ran the ProgrammeA with ‘--register’ when first installed and tried numerous times since. Can someone please help as I am sure it is something simple I am missing. I only want to be able to use XDAtools to dump and restore ROMs.
I have tried searching for a solution but to no avail. Any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance John.
May you tell your current ROM version and device type?
Some ROMs do not accept the EXE or the XDAtools with NBF files upgrading methods. You may have to use the SD card flashing in this case.
Thanks Bis
Thank you Biso007 I am currently running A.30.09.ENG and my device type is an XDA1. But I believe the problem is associated with XDAtools ProgrammeA as it cannot find the specified files. Though I have followed all instructions for definition. There is probably something simple I am missing. You see I only want to be able to use XDAtools to dump and restore Roms without the need for SD/MMC cards.
Thanks John
Try downloading the XDATools from Jeff Summers site, it has all the missing bits, including the required batch file :
http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDAtools-Jeff.exe
That's from the sticky XDATools thread, probably read through there and you will find most questions answered if you continue to have problems.
Remember though that the SD card method is the preferred option, and if you burn any T-Mobile ROM's the SD card is *required* to reverse that.

XDAtools cannot work with WM 2003.
and you no need to backup A.30.09.ENG (ATT USA version WM2003), you can get it from online!

Yes, it for sure!
XDAtools only works with Pocket PC 2002 or some test version WM2003.(<4.0.11)
It cannot work with WM2003 official release (AT&T A.30 or T-mobile).
Thats weird, I am positive I used xdatools to program my sd card through reader writer after downloading the official WM2003 upgrade, in fact I must have used that method because I had to seperate out the radio stack and program just the ce rom, I have no other tools to do this.

I think you'll find that it only does *not* work with T-Mobile WM2003 ROMs. That's only because they lock up their OS to try and prevent us from changing ROMs. I don't think that's the case with any other manufacturer. I also think it doesn't make any difference whether it's WM2003 or WM2002, it solely depends on whether the manufacturer locks the OS.
Thank you cgigate & ebswift re XDAtools/WM2003
Thank you Cgigate and ebswift maybe this is why I am encountering problems with my download and restore of my ROM. I inadvertently choose a WM2003 AT&T rom to practice with. Maybe I should have chosen a PPC 2002 ROM to test??
I thought I had a problem with XDAtools and that I did not have all the correct links/files in place. Maybe I should dump my ROM and try restoring a PPC2002 and then re try my test. Thanks again guys.
i used xda tools with the AT&T WM2003 rom on my uk o2 xda with no problem. I wanted to keep my old radio stack as it was working fine and just used the os upgrade file, via SD card.
I would recommend updating activesync to 3.7 if you are doing it via the XDA cradle.
maltloaf
Did you use XDAtools to copy direct to device
Thank you Maltloaf, when you upgraded your rom did you use XDAtools directly from PC to device or copy the file onto your SD/MMC card and use the bootloader program to load ?? If so maybe you can answer the problem I am encountering. Thanks john
i have flashed twice (had to go back to 2002 for a short while)
both times using the SD card/bootloader method and I transferred the file onto the card using xdatools in the xda/cradle
Thank you Maltloaf
Thank you Maltloaf this seems to be clearer now, but in the context of upgrading etc XDAtools is only being used to copy the file from source to SD/MMC card. I was under the impression that XDAtools did not require the use of SD/MMC card. But maybe it's a matter of finding out what works for you. John
well xdatools should be able to flash directly to the xda as far as i know but it's always the safest way to do it sdcard style
Thanks to all
My thanks to all you helped with my recent questions. Thanks John

NEED to CHANGE GER ROM to WWE ROM

Okay, I bought a MDA Compact from T-Mobile 2 days ago, The Problems is that the Device is German and I Speak and Read English, Could someone walk me through to change it to English, I read so many tips and none work.
ROM-Version:1.12.2.21 GER
ROM-Datum: 11/14/05
Furmempfangerversion: 01.12.20
Protokool-Version: 4.0.13.23
ExtRom-Version: 1.12.02.106
Need to read some more, like this one:
'XDA mini (MDA compact) with German ROM to English ROM'
@ http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=36002
Basically you need a WWE shipped-rom & maupgradeut_noid.
unzip the shipped-rom, put maupgradeut_noid in the same dir. as the unzipped files. Connect your magician with usb & execute maupgradeut_noid twice.
Or go for an SD-flash.
Cheers, M
Thanks
I tried that and I get a error 103: ROM IMAGE File Not Found, Thanks for that, what is the way with SD-Flash? I''l try anything....
Ulymanchild
I think you didn't extract the ROM before using the maUpgradeUT_noId file...extract the EXT file with winrar adn then in the contents use maupgrade_noid
EXT File
Okay this is what I have
MDACompact_WWE_1.12.152 and MaUpgradeUt_noID I put this all in one folder and I tried to run and still the same ROM Image Error.
I have the MaUpgradeUt_noID with the GETDEVICEDATA and the ENTERBl and still nothing, could somebody walk me through like I was a child who was born yesterday. ;-(
I don't understand the EXT File thing either when I download all these stuff from XDA website I have them in zip and I just extract them normally with XP. What am I doing wrong?
It's not that difficult:
- Unzip NL_11300_131_11200.exe (or any other shipped rom) to a folder, so you get the maupgradeut.exe etc.
- Copy the getdevicedata.exe to your Magician and execute to write DeviceData.txt
to \Windows and view with notepad
- Hexedit header to correct ID from DeviceData.txt
(probably only if using a rom from other provider)
- put maupgradeut_noid.exe in the same folder as the devicedata.txt, maupgradeut.exe etc
- run maupgradeut_noid.exe to upgrade CE image
Regards, M
I meant EXE file and not EXT file......
I think MDACompact_WWE_1.12.152 is a single EXE file with an Install shield icon.....
you have to extract it to get the ROM files
to do that download WinRAR from www.rarlabs.com...install it...
after installing winrar if you right-click on MDACompact_WWE_1.12.152.exe you have an option for etracting...extract it to a folder....now copy MaUpgradeUt_noID.ext to this folder and execute it...now you won't get the error 103
For you information ROM files have the extension .nbf....you find .nbf files inside the extracted filder
Hope you get it
Thanks
Well I want to thank all for the advice but I tried step by step and try it again and nothing ROM ERROR 120 COUNTRY I will go by a SD-Flash and try it that way if that doesn't work owell I gues I will sell it and go to england and buy me one there,,,;-(
Did you run the maupgradeut_noid twice?
The SD flash will work, just as long as you copy the first 416bytes of your own rom to the new rom.
succes, M
Ulymanchild
Hey, before selling it, read this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade
This 120 country id error is easy to solve.
After you run the first time, just press "Exit" as the install wizard tell you.
After you exit from the wizard, run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe once more. This time you will not see the error again.
Hope you get it
Almost work
okay I tried what you said and I got as far as the what it's going to upgrade to put it losses the connection, what could be wrong, you gave me the best advice so far and I thank you.
I'm clueless on this point besides the usual 'try again'?
SD will work there's a nice 1.13 on the ftp -) mine) so you can always go for that approach.
Instructions:
- download the 1.13BS rom from the ftp
- get ntrw.exe & romugrade.exe from the ftp
- Download the Hexeditor from:
http://www.hhdsoftware.com/hexeditor.html
- get a SD-card > 64MB
- make backup of everything you want to keep from your magician & SD-card. everything will be wiped!!
- fully charge your magician
- uncheck usb connection in Act.sync on your PC
- put your magician in Bootloader (camera & power & soft-reset at the same time for a few seconds) wait till screen fades & reads 'serial v1.0x'. Screen is very dark since backlight is of.
- connect usb, now the screen reads 'usb v1.0x'
- start romupgrade on your pc
- pick the magician connection in the listbox, wces something I belief
- now a screen pops up
- type d2s in this screen
- follow progress on pc & magician
- wait till checksum finishes
- get SD from the magician & put it into a cardreader. DON'T FORMAT!!!
- put ntrw in C:\
- start a command window
- type on commandline: ntrw read myrom.nb1 [sd driveletter]:
- follow progress
- error at the end is normal
- make a copy of myrom.nb1
- open myrom.nb1 & the BS rom with the hexeditor & replace the first 416 Bytes of the BS rom with the first 416 bytes of myrom.nb1 & save it to mybs.nb1
- type on commandline: ntrw write mybs.nb1 [sd driveletter]:
error at the end is normal
- put the SD in your magician
- now it should read 'press power to flash'
- press the power button
- watch it reaches 100% - checksum will always fail
- reset & hopefully enjoy the new rom
Cheers, M
Back Error
I tried to back up my rom with romupdate.exe and when I try to pick USB it does not work only thing that showes is com2 com4 I also unchecked USB Connection on ActiveSynce and it still doesn't work so what the hell, okay I will pay some one to help me I will call the person and have them walk me thru!!!!
HELP
Seems like there's something fishy with your USB connection or your device. Best thing is to find someone nearby who has done it before & use his/her equipment .
Guess you're not getting it to work by talking through.
Terribly sorry, M
Could it Be
I just found out that my device is a HTC Charmer the new one that came out in December and it does not work like magician...So I have to try something else
You lucky bastard,
There is progress in that field. So keep looking.
Cheers, M
Can I try the first procedure OLTP described in the begining
I have a Qtek S110 with a French ROM and I need the English version.
I have downloaded MagicianRadio_1.13.00_maupgrade and Qtek_WWE_1.13 from the ftp site. Are there any special precautions I have to be aware of?
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards,
Sidi
Make a backup of your existing rom, in case you might want to fall-back for warranty issues etc. & a separate copy of the ext-rom cabs in case of provider settings etc.
& make a back-up of all pim data as everything will be lost & programs need to be reinstalled. Don't forget to mark your provider settings for gprs access, they're usually located in one of the ext-rom cab-files. You can write them down too.
For the rest it is fairly simple, connect usb & execute the maupgradeut_noid twice.
regards, M

69xx bootloader command for extracting ROM

Hello,
please, if somebody has more information about bootloader commands supported by HP iPAQ hw6900 series (HTC Sable) to share on this thread with us
Will be very helpful if we can extract ROM image through the bootloader of this iPAQ
I dont know much, i know nothing indeeed, however i found somewhere a pack of files for the Wizard that were supposed to work for the sable, however they didnt, but there is this particular file, that when ran in the sable made appear a folder called "2" with an icon of a storage card and which rpely the contents of the root of the device (but for itself i mean no 2 folder inside the 2 folder lol)
I dont know if it is of some use but i definitevely want to perform a corporate install of windows in my sable and kill all that HP crap that comes in bundled
How to enter bootloader
Just press ACTION+POWER+reset with stylus and hold this combinaison for a few seconds, you'll see a screen without backlight (so you must be under bright light to see it) going into bootloader mode.
Put your device on the cradle (which I suspect you had connected it to your PC)
using mtty, connect to your USB Port (or Serial port if serial cradle)
type "password BOOTLOADER" and use "h" as an help command.
Now you can dump a ROM from Bootloader
The command should be sth like "r2sd"
Read the manual of this command "h r2sd full" and use it to dump your ROM on the SDCard
Now you can dump the raw ROM image from SD Card Reader using ntrw.exe
EDIT: going to bootloader mode seem to hard reset your device, backup FIRST!
HI Boris,
where to find the manual ETC.
A RAW ROM maens a bin file? how to convert then to something readable modifiable.... i understand that this is the main issue now.
I want to see a computer file which isn't binary based....
or a full text ROM
In fact, for me a raw ROM is a ROM-file which has been extracted from the device... The difference with a ROM-to-install is the encryption which is not present with raw dumps (to be checked).
Raw dumps can be modified and then re-updated but it needs some operations that are command-line based...
Once you got your raw ROM on SD, copy it to PC using ntrw, you have to find the correct tool to dump the content (dumprom should do the work)
Remember to keep the raw ROM as a backup, and work with a copy of the raw ROM.
You can also cut/paste the file into parts (OS, EXTROM...).
Logically, if you got the original ROM file (the german one) and the same taken from the device (raw ROM), we should be able to modify some existing tools to work with 69xx ROM files and cook some ROMs.
in bootloader mode: type
"h COMMANDNAME full" should show full manual of COMMANDNAME.
To have more informations, once you know if your bootloader has d2s or r2sd ... command name, search for it on wiki and you should have more informations and examples on the specific command.
I need to extract the ROM from one of these as well. I am getting into bootloader and trying to dump the rom to 256MB SD as follows...

USB>password BOOTLOADER

Then the device just sits there with Cal Checksum on the screen. I get no response from NTTY or device until I restart.
I read on another thread that it might be locked. I also read that there may be a password to get into another level of access. See http://mobilitytoday.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15217 for details.
I have to get this cracked as I want to restore my good any network ROM onto a network specific device.
Anyone got any other ideas?

The checksum calculation is a long process, try to wait longer...
Anyway your SD should have been written... have you tried to read it?
EDIT: Does it show ******** or direct checksum calculation? (how long is the process)
I let it run for over an hour the first time but that was with a 1GB SD card and I understand that it would take longer with 1GB.
I haven't actually looked to see if there is anything on the card(s) as I just assumed it hadn't worked. Other threads say that the device gives you progress or at least some response from the MTTY to say it was done.
I have to shoot to a meeting but will try again when I get back...

Just press ACTION+POWER+reset with stylus and hold this combinaison for a few seconds, you'll see a screen without backlight (so you must be under bright light to see it) going into bootloader mode.
Put your device on the cradle (which I suspect you had connected it to your PC)
using mtty, connect to your USB Port (or Serial port if serial cradle)
type "password BOOTLOADER" and use "h" as an help command.
Now you can dump a ROM from Bootloader
The command should be sth like "r2sd"
Read the manual of this command "h r2sd full" and use it to dump your ROM on the SDCard
Now you can dump the raw ROM image from SD Card Reader using ntrw.exe
EDIT: going to bootloader mode seem to hard reset your device, backup FIRST!

yes, nice but does not work in 69xx's bootloader. while executing d2s command the device loops on "Calculating checksum" point and nothing happens even after an hour of waiting .. :-(
That is the same problem I am having. I read on another thread that dmc874 (who seems to know what he is talking about) thought it was related to the device being locked. See http://mobilitytoday.com/forum/showthread.php?p=68783
I am now trying to research the locking to see if there is anything I can do to unlock it... anyone else got any ideas?
Does anybody tried to upload a .NBA image through bootloader?
Someone to know the command for sending through bootloader to certain address locations?
What about pdocread or such tools?

This is information for the BEETLES, Should not be too different than the 6900, If anyone could backup a 6900 series radio, and upload it, alot of us would be grateful.

Extract of my RadioROM
I extracted from start address of 60000000 with a length of 800000 what I think is my radio rom and this can be downloaded at

The size of the uncompressed ROM is around 1gig because I only have 1gig sd cards to dump the ROM on.
You will probably need a 1gig or larger SD card, dim92 tried writing to a smaller card and the IPAQ doesn’t recognize it but you are welcome to give it a try on smaller cards as most of the image are 0s anyway.
Once you have written the image on to an sd card (use any of the bigrom guides using ntrw), pop it into the IPAQ and enter boot loader mode (power + joystick + reset). It should show up with “Download Sections: 1 press power to start".
Press power button and it should show “Updating radio". Let it finish and if it completed with no errors, power up to see if the mobile phone works. If it still does not work, try running the beetles radio patch now. If this too does not work, try running the LATEST rom from HP.

Hi buddy,thanks for your attachment.
But I gotta tell ya this doesn't work in hp6915,coz all the ROM in the internet do not have ExtRom.nbf,so nobody's device had flashed the Extended Rom in device...then the Unlock tool will not work in this.
Anyway,thank you

XDA tools problem

hy there,
when i was updating a qtek1010 to wm2003SE rom, that was cooked in romkitchen, the upgrade stoped at 99%.
now i can only get into the bootloader.
bootloader version : 5.15
i've searched, and now i'm trying to upgrade from SD MMC, when i'm using OSImageTool.exe , i open the nk.nbf, destination SD MMC, then it displays this error, (NK.nbf:incorrect filesize(33554463), file should be exactly 32505888 bytes. error opening input file)
What should I do???
Thanks
Download an other ROM. THE NK.nbf-Fiel you have is the WM2003SE ROM. This file can not be written through XDA-Tools.
Download anoteher WM2003 or PPC2002 ROM, flash your device via SD-Card and the run the exe File of the WM2003SE-ROM.....
Stefan
thanks so much, it worked
but now, when i put the sdd in the qtek1010, on the bootloader nothing apears.. only :
WALLABY
Bootloader
V5.15
GSM OK
and when i press action button it displays a diagnostics list like "ram, display, touch etc..."
what am i doing wrong?
what can i do?
i've putted the sdd card in a HP photosmart to copy the .nb1 file.. is this wrong?
thanks,
Luis Martins Portugal
Looks like the ROM isn´t written correct to the card.
Otherwise it will show directly in bootloader that you can install the new ROM.
I´m nearly sure the HP Photosmart causes this problem. Do you have access to another SD-Card writer?
Stefan
ok, i'll buy a card reader and try again
thanks Stefan
i'll post here the results.
gretz
Just to ensure. You have copied the ROM using XDA Tools to the SD Card, or?
Normal paste & copy does not work......
Stefan
