Erm Hope someone can Help.
I managed to Dump my Rom to my SD Card using a utility on this Forum.
I now have a lovely dump.bin file. Whhhooo hooo
Could someone kindly explain in terms that a complete idiot would understand, How do I get this Rom back onto a Device?
I imagine you would use the same program as is used to load new ROM's, I would be very carefull about doing this with your ROM dump though, if the file format is not the same it will either refuse to flash or worse still kill your Universal, If you download the ROM file for your universal from your provider just compare it with your dumped file, I would be very suprised if it was the same.
Also, forgive me asking this, but you dont think you HAVE to put it back because you dumped it do you? Nah, you already know that by dumping your ROM all you did was take a COPY of it, don't you?
After all, why would you want to flash the same ROM to your Universal as it already has, unless you want the dump to fall back to if another ROM you are about to try might fail?
Regards
Heheh Thanks for the info.
What I was trying to do was to pull the Rom off a Vodafone V1640 and slap it on a XDA Exec.
It would be handy if I could manage to do this as, I seem to have become the un official XDA support person for my company.
If its too tricky I will just try to get the V1640 Rom as an exe from somewhere. Its not currently on the Upload area.

Original QTEK ROM 9100
Maybe I am missing the point somewhere, but the ROM you are asking for is still in the ROM section of Wizard on the XDA FTP.
Name is Qtek_9100_RUU_Prodigy_10107105_Qtek_WWE_ship
Just download and run (CID unlock not necessary since it is Qtek for Qtek)
Cheers
hrb
i guess its easier when someone asks for it..
anyway, yes, it is a better solution to get the one on the ftp as its an .exe file...
if ever anyone needs it, get it there!!
thanks guys, sorry for the hassle, i looked but couldn't find the file thats y i asked for it, thank u both for help.
Sorry, I found out about the existing .exe just shortly after I got the backup. However... I appreciate it anyway!
Some info about my phone
IPL 1.08
SPL 1.08
GSM 01.09.10
OS 1.8.10.2
I would like to upgrade to the latest i-mate rom ( i think ) i don't know any differences with any other roms etc... ive been looking on the other threads maybe if my question has been answered with someone else... i can get pointed to a proper thread, i just want to know what steps i should take to upgrade my rom, i dont wanna lose any data, not that i have much id like to backup my contacts basically thats the most important, also.. since i dont have money for a 128 card right now would it be possible to load someone elses backed up tmobile mda rom ? if they zipped it up and sent it so i can restore it when i get a msd card.. any help is greatly appreciated , thanks in advance.
Copy your contacts by ActiveSyncing them to a PC, or copy your pim.vol (in the root of your Device) to your SD card and upgrade it.
Good luck.
Ahhh
Ah okay now... which rom should I try out first ? and... don't i need to CID unlock it? i'm trying to find a good thread on the upgrade procedures and the best rom to try first.
Best rom...best rom..... the Rom you choose is a personal choice (and yes, you need to CID unlock first IF you want to upgrade to a Rom of another manufacturer, if you have lets say T-Mobile and you want to upgrade to another T-Mobile Rom, you don't have to CID unlock your Wizard).
I like the Qtek Roms myself, but then again, I only use Dutch Roms, not WWE (WorldWideEnglish) Roms, so I have to make a choice between T-Mobile or Qtek and then the choice is simple in my opinion
If you don't know anything about upgrading, my opinion is, try soms official Roms first, then you know what the deal is and then you can make a choice if you maybe want to use a customized Rom like the Mr. Clean Roms for example.
Regards,
Molski
p.s. There are A LOT of threads about upgrading.
Ah thanks for the info... i tried a beta 2.24 rom i think... its pretty nice, i personally cant tell much of a difference,, connmgr is different has more options etc... im thinking of trying mr clean 2.3 is the latest right ? and if i get this does it include all the office apps and such ?
a second question... i dont like the wifi apps included and i noticed an AXIM dell PPC with WM5 had a nice wifi config app/wifi AP finder, and noticed it was made by Hi Tech Computer (HTC) any way to copy this or use it on my phone ?
check my other thread about my CID unlock problem and let me know if i should try to CID unlock it again... and backup... thanks!!
i need a French shipped Rom----HTC p3300..is there any one share it out?
thank you very much
is there anyone help me ..please
I Jimmy,
I would like to help you, but I do not exactly how to extract my Rom...
No way :-(
As I also need a french rom, I looked to a solution to extract a rom.
On an article here explaining all the needed parts to upload an Hermes, I've seen that there is ways to do a dump of your rom but not an extraction (so, you'll get only parts of the rom, not the complete rom).
So, if you're not a really advanced user (I'm a complete new user...), there is no way to extract a rom and install it somewhere else!
I'm waiting for my dutch MDAIII hope I'll get it soon (normally, next week!)

When you bought the device,did you have a CD called ROM update utility or something like that? I have it with my Dopod.
hmm no i dont think so, but i can search my hundred cds
I found a cd with varios programms but no rom update utility so far.
Perhaps you could also advice me how to backup the original rom and install it if possible.
I know somebody else with a ameo. perhaps he can help.
Sorry, I don't have that experience. I would gladly help you if I know how. I'm sure there are many developers especially the ROM cook who know this like the back of their fingers. Come on, give this your guy a hand.
Check Mahmoods page here - http://mahmood1.com/ameo_athena_htcx750_WM6_ROMs.aspx
He has a list of available Roms near the bottom of the page.
Thank you for the link, i downloaded the tmobile rom but it didnt work i think because its not german.
Wrong vender id error. I need the original german rom to restore my machine and i think then i can update it.
Any german guys reading this? Somethere it must be avaible. or can somebody tell me how to extract rom from machine, becaue a friend of mine has the ameo too.
Hi All,
After spending a large amount of time trying to find a solution for the SPL 1.24 to hack. Mainly the Telstra Australia WM6.5 Upgrade. Combining the many efforts of XDA Members I finally got a proper working hack going. I thought I'd post it straight away for the rest of the world to see.
First what you need to do is download the WM6.5 Upgrade from the HTC Website. When you open this you need to go to Start - Run - Type %TEMP% Find the location where the extractor has dumped the files and rename RUU_Signed.nbh to MAPLIMG.nbh. Copy this to the root of the SD Card. Reset your phone into Bootloader and let the flash start. It will fail at 10% than reset itself and install it properly.
From here you need to download a cab clearsecurity.cab which is suppose to be for the Samsung Blackjack 2 but it enables the HTC Snap to be hacked.
From there download the desired Custom Rom and run 1.19 auto.bat and watch the screen go black and the custom rom install.
Any Success???
Hi, can anyone let me know if they have had the same success???
Hi Roger,
Thanks for the post as it worked a treat for me, I was able to flash the HTC Snap after following the above steps. One thing I didn't do is backup the Telstra spl 1.24, Do you know where I can get a copy from?
Once again thanks for the post.
Mr.D
THis looks great. I'd love to try this now, but before I do, I'm hoping you might be able to answer a question of mine, to ease my mind:
If you need to reinstall the original Rom and SPL 1.24, is there any way the the Telecom company can see that the phone's firmware has been previously changed?
Thanks.
Flashing back to Telstra 6.5 Rom
Hey guys, I believe you can just download the latest 6.5 Telstra Rom for the snap from the HTC website. I havern't tried it since I have hacked the phone and the only reason why you would obviously do it is for warranty. Actually I also found out that you can get WM 6.1 rom but you need to contact HTC and you can upload it from there FTP. Sorry I can't provide any more assitance maybe when my phone breaks and I need to flash it back I will post up what I have done.
Hi Roger
Thanks for the reply. This is what's stopping me from trying to flash the ROM. Knowing whether I can restore it back to it's original condition without the telecom company knowing it's been flashed. The phone is only new and if it does develop a hardware problem and I had to send it back, I'm sure they won't fix it under the warranty if they can see that it's been flashed.
If as you suggest, it's just a matter of re-flashing it with the original rom, then that's fantastic. But, I'd really like some firm confirmation before going ahead.
The ROM developed by ookba looks AMAZING and I can't wait to try it.
Thanks.
Flashing Advice
Hi Badcam,
I have owned many HTC phones and I have to say the Snap is probably the most durable out of them all. I find with the Snap and the newer models of the HTC phones from australian carriers they really lock them down and you don't get the full functions as what you pay for. Worst of all they infest the phone with all these carrier features that are not needed.
It is really your choice flashing your phone. Every single phone I have had I have flashed and never had problems only when I drop them lol. For warranty purposes you can always flash back to orginal rom and just tell them thats how you got it. They really can't say much. But I did abit of reading and when you do upgrade the rom from HTC website it does install SPL 1.24 back meaning if you want to flash it back you need to go through the hack again.
Hope this has been helpful.
You said it Roger.
There's so much Telecom rubbish on this phone, it's not funny.
Well, I'll give it a go this weekend. If you're happy it's going to work, I am too. Thanks very much for your advice.
Hey do you guys know how much (in USD) a Telstra SNAP is out there if you buy it outright? Can can anyone ship me one to the States?
What about a TelecomNZ one?
http://store.telecom.co.nz/mobile/pay-monthly/htc-s523
NZ$499.00 is around US$361
http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi?Amount=499.00&From=NZD&To=USD&x=16&y=17
I'd be happy to sort something out for you. PM me if you'd like.

Thanks but that's kinda rough. I get the MAPL100 (Dash 3G) here for $100. Looking to get a SNAP S523 for around that, even used. Let me know if you run across one. Thanks!
It's atrocious. Believe it or not, that's a good price. It's just come down NZ$200. Of course, I had to buy my two days before the reduced it.
I'll keep an eye out.

Hi, can anyone tell me how to get the device into bootloader mode? i have followed the steps, but getting it into bootloader mode and then letting it hardspl from the sd is not happening :-( THANKS!!!
Can't find clearsecurity.cab. Can anyone tell me where to find it?
Attempt to answer questions lol
Benzin,
Type in google "clearsecurity.cab download" and find the mediafire link
If you have problems please let me know. Maybe XDA-Developers already have it posted.
wcampagne,
So you are getting into bootloader right, its just not picking up the MAPLIMG.nbh file. You have renamed RUU_Signed.nbh to MAPLIMG.nbh. Also a train of through if you have tried applying previous Roms before hand I suggest you go to %TEMP% file and remove anything that is there that has reference to RUU_Signed or the rom at all. You are probably uploading the wrong file as it might be cached. As I said its just a train of thought. If you have any more problems please feel free to post up and I will figure out a fix for you.
Ookba,
Ebay is your best bet. I got my handset for $150 AUD brand new on bid.
Works great for me and I thank you so much!
