I have a Cingular 8125. Is it possible to just use aWizard to manually install the OS rom and the Radio Rom? That way I won't have the Ext. Rom from the new imate 2.16.9.x rom right?
If so, can someone who has already run the RUU, send me the OS/Radio rom ? or tell me how I can extract those from the RUU exe file?

I'm new to this ROM kitchen upgrading and have a few questions.
1) Jeff's Kitchen (http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/ROMkitchen/) creates an .exe to load ROM update to PPCPE, the latest ROM being 4.00.16. At yorch.net, the rom update is 4.00.21 and comes as a .rar file. It took awhile to find a utility to uncompress the .rar into it's .nbf file. Now, how do you install a .nbf file to one's PPCPE? Does a utility exist to install this .nbf to PPCPE?
2) Three ROM files seem to exist, 4.00.10, 4.00.16 & 4.00.21. Is there documentation to state the difference between each? Which is preferred for T-Mo in USA?
3) My understanding is that if you upgrade to, say, 4.00.16 and want to upgrade again, you cannot due to some programme A??? I don't understand. I'd like to be able to return to 3.14 if 4.00.xx doesn't work OR upgrade further when 4.00.55 comes around. Can someone explain this one.
4) Along with #2, which Radio Stack version is most recommended to go with which PDA ROM version? i.e. yorch.net site is a ROM update but not a radio stack update. Can you update ROM without updating RSU?
Raed throught the forum before post! you will get all answers when you go through the forum
Quick answers but u shud reali search the forum!!
1) look for XDArit and XDAtools on this site and follow instructions, u will need a SD/MMC card and reader/writer. As for the .rar extension, if u dont have winzip or winrar you reali shudnt b fooling around with the XDA ROM images!!
2) Marginal stability issues and Service Provider (T-Mobile) Updates.
3) again look for xdatools etc blah blah...
4)ur service providers website will tell give u the most up to date RSU. RSU is mainly considered as a separate issue.

I am a newbie,can you kindly tell me how to flash rom by SD card in detail. because my bootloader is 5.17. i can't go back to 2002 rom use the xdatool.
thanks!
Hi mate,
plz check this thread ... let me know if you still have problems
note: XDAtools replaced XDrit tool ... so you can follow the same steps.
Thanks you very much, before I flashed the T-M 401.16 rom, I have backup my 2002 rom as .NB1 file, is it possible to copy it to my sd card directly, and then follow the steps?
can it work?
Yes, it should work ... but if your final target is WM2003 ROM, that would be an unnecessary step ... cook your WM2003 ROM from the kitchen as .nbf file and go ahead ... of course unless you need the wmodem.exe which is found only on PPC2002 ROMs
should i downgrade the radio version when i want take my o2 mini to warranty?IF so,how to downgrade the radio version,i have try upgrade the rom and downgrade back,but it's there a way to downgrade the radion version? i am newbie so hope can learn more thing here sorry for my poor english. Have a nice day!
no one can help?
I can help!
The reason why the radio is not downgraded is because the ROM backup actually doesn't downgrade radio at all.
Now, the way to do it properly is to first grab whatever ROM package you want (I grabbed an Imate JAM v 1.01 ship). Then you extract the files in the .exe file to a folder. Delete all the nbf files except "radio.nbf" then use MaUpgradeUt_noID.
Basically, by deleting the other nbf files, you are only upgrading/downgrading the ROM.
TQ 4 Da Tips !
thanks friend!cheers!!

Hi guys! So,
I converted latest Cingular rom (4.1.502.5) from nbh to nb format by Der Hermes Rom Koch 0.99.6.1. Then modified some files and reg-keys in windows.nb, and compiled NB-file with only OS (without ipl, spl, first, second splash, ext rom, finally without radio) and generated a NBH file without any errors.
Filesize of new RUU_signed.nbh is 39*930*145 bytes
But i afraid to flash this new nbh. Can anybody tell me, what can happen if new rom is broken or something else. Is there any risk of bootloader broke? Will i be able to rollback to any official rom?
please delete
