Dumping the OS. - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

Maybe a newby question, and the WiKi part of the website is still down, but how do I dump the OS to a SD-Card ? Or otherwise 'ghost/backup' the original OS before attempting a language change ??? Can I do this
in the bootloader ? Is there a hidden key combination for the 9090 ?
Thanks !
Willem

I once used a tool called bootblaster3900 from handhelds.org. this let's you copy the whole flash rom to a file. there are more tools for that at handhelds.org and elsewhere.
note that this image is not bootable in case you brick your device.

T-Mobile MDA Production/Shipping ROM Download Link (USA)

Many users have been requesting the ROM for the production MDA's. I tried to upload it to the XDA-Developers FTP site but I could not upload it to the T-Mobile ROM directory so if a moderator can download this from the link I provided and move it to the FTP server for long term access.
Specs are as follows:
ROM Version 1.8.10.2 WWE
ROM Date 12/10/05
Radio Version 01.09.10
Protocol Version 4.0.13.20
This does not include the Extended ROM as that is already provided in the link below as this is where this request for the full rom was initiated.
http://d01.megashares.com/?d01=efbcdfc90bfae88ed9ac9ec8fcda5cc6
Scroll to the bottom of the page once you go to the megashares link and you will see the Download Now link.
If you need the Extended ROM follow this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=41348
Question - you can't just flash back the extended ROM, right?
Yes but it is not the same procedure as backing up or writing a new ROM as you need a utility which I mention below. What you need to do is first "Unlock/Unhide" the hidden Extended ROM partition on your MDA. Once you do this you can see the extended ROM files which are posted in the link above. (There is a utility called Unlock Ext Rom Wizard.cab) on the XDA FTP server. You copy this to your MDA and click on it and it should unlock the parition/folder. After running it I would do a soft reset.
You can then use ActiveSync's Remote File Explorer Utility to move the files around as you will see the new partition when you select change folder.
Basically you copy your original extended ROM files to a safe location for backup and then delete all the files in the extended ROM directory. Copy the Extended ROM files that you downloaded into the Extended ROM directory and once you do a hard reset it will automatically install the new files when it boots up.
Ah, ok... thanks - I don't see the unlock tool for the Extended ROM though....
Nevermind... found it.
any changes, improvements or modifications worthy of mentioning in this ROM?
thanks,
How do you change the boot screen. I only see the ability to restore the radio and OS...
Extended rom is read only.. Please tell me that I am not going to have to reflash with an old rom to modify the extrom...

My Extended Rom is writable, but is still hidden. I think it may be due to the fact that I used aWizard 1.3b2 (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37386) to remove the CID lock from my phone and change the splash screen. I then also patched my radio to 01.13.10.
Can the original poster explain how to restore the T-Mobile ROM? The utility that is in the folder did the CID unlock on my phone and all that successfully, but when I do option "w" (write OS ROM to device), it doesn't "find" the T-Mo ROM right there in the folder. I don't get it. =(

When disabling Flight Mode, the original radio took about 30 to 45 seconds to get a signal. The new radio takes closer to 2 minutes. However, the new radio gets 3 bars of signal in places the old radio only got 1. I consider a reasonable tradeoff, as I don't use Flight Mode very often.

I had that initial problem myself. I had to copy it to my C:\Flash since it didn't seem to work correctly off my g: drive under a few folders deep. I looked at the .cmd (batch) file at what it does is do a dir /s (directory listing including looking under subfolders) for *.nba files looking for radio or os in the filename. If you do not see a number then it is not finding the .nba files. When it does find them you will see the name of the rom file preceeded by a number. I would do what I did with the directories and if that doesn't work copy the .nba files into the root folder of the .cmd file folder.
i try to restore the rom with this flash.. the version on my phone is
rom : 1.8.10.2 WWE
rom date : 12/10/05
radio version 01.04.10
protocol version: 4.0.13.17
extrom version: 1.8.10.104
Hello,
Anyone has this rom ( Version : 1.8.10.2 )? If so, is it possible please upload. I'm searching for a wizard ROM which shows MM/DD/YY in device info ( i.e 12/10/05 ).

My Qtek 9090 is completely empty

Hello
I write to you in search of HELP. It has happened to me what it is noticed in all around. When wanting to update my Qtek 9090 of W2003 to WM5 I have lost all the data (toasted). The only thing that works is the Bootloader (the screen shows “USB v.2 07”). A hard reset do not work.
How I can install the image of the WM5 from 0? Somebody can help me? Is there a program? I have tried it with the BaUpgradeUt.exe but it does not work since the PDA looks for the image (and this one this empty). I do not know what to do.
Thanks in advance,
Wing
read the wiki
did u read the wiki before trying the upgrade process? just download rom image and update again ur device, use maupgradeutnoid.exe instead of baupgrade..
How to use maupgradeutnoid.exe?
Hi borjok536
Thanks for the answer. I have used the wiki to run this process. I do not know what I did wrong but I did it
I have tried to use maupgradeutnoid.exe but I must confess that I do not know how to use it. I start in Bottloader modeand the program says that the device is going to be updated
from Device CE image version: (blank)
To: Device CE image version: (blank)
How do I say the program where to find the image (nk.nbf of 32 Mb)? Is it normal that the picture of the device in the program shows a Qtek S200 (PH20B1)?
Regards,
Oskar
Any new news??
Hello guys
I really need help. Someone has an idea?
Thanks.

You just place the nk.nbf file in the same directory as the exe file. whether you use the maupgradenoid.exe or the other one.
There is not another way to tell the executable where the nk.nbf file is.
C
No result
Hi cso5874
I have made this but the result is the same:
from Device CE image version: (blank)
To: Device CE image version: (blank)
Any other idea. Maybe I am not using the right program...
Regrads.
is this ur first time?
to update ur device? if you execute the update utility (baupgrade.exe or maupgradenoid.exe) and if u see the ceimage version is blank, just exit the upgrade utility and execute it again...
hey borjok536
i had the same problem.
The Upgrade utility didn't show any data of the Rominside the BA.
But just klicked on upgrade and it worked!
good for you..
, if you continue the update process even if the ceimage version doesn't appear, sometimes the update process will stop to n% ... sometimes it work like in ur case, but to avoid that problem you'd better exit the upgrade utility and execute it again...
Finally, the solution
Hi guys
The version is not shown because there is no version, the BA is empty. Finally I sented it to the Qtek tecnical service in Spain. They have put the old WM 2003 SE again (I want to know how )
So, I think I will try it again. How much time does the upgrade last? I have a message on the PC since 1 hour ago:
"Checking the information on your device... Please wait...
Please, don't disconnect your device from the PC or the power supply until the update is completed"
In the BA the Bootloader is shown. Should I wait more or the program seems not to work?
Thanks for your help!

You can dump your rom. Please have a look at the wiki (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Herald_HowtoDumpRom). I haven't dumped my original o2 rom, so i can't help you with problems there.
You don't need to save OS important files. Because they are stored in the ROM and you can't restore them back to your device (in an easy way).
If you want to save your CABs, you should have downloaded them before installing them on your device so you should still have them on your computer.
For Hard-SPL please use the search! There are a lot of threads which have Hard-SPL and SPL, IPL and so on as topic.

[TUT] How to Reconstruct a Rhodium Dumped ROM & Reconstructed ROMs

I take no responsability in any damage on your device. If you're not sure what you're doing, take time to learn some basics from wiki.
This is the process to restore your Rhodium (TP2) back to the stock ROM and SPL. This should be enough for you to warranty return your device.
I have "borrowed" all of the examples from various sources on xda. Many thanks must goto jcespi2005 and JugglerLKR who created the guide and packages for the Raphael from which the majority of this is taken. The SPL "relock" procedure was taken from the Hard SPL thread. Credit to cmonex .
Prerequisites
The Rhodium Kitchen version 0.1 (Open the Zip File and read the password from the !!!readmefirst!!!.txt)
WinRAR or 7zip
RhodiumSPLRelocker_079SPL.zip
nbImg v1.1
Warning
avast! home detects buildOS as a virus, I've personally used it on my machine with AV off, and am not infected, but it's up to you.
Overview
You must follow these instructions in the order given. Once you have the Stock SPL you cannot flash any ROM's except the ones that are signed by HTC. For that reason you must restore the ROM first, then the SPL.
Step 1 - Get your Orginal ROM.
If you can find your Carrier's / Supplier's ROM on this wiki page or on their website. Please jump ahead to Step 4 - Flashing back to Shipped Stock ROM.
If you cannot find your ROM on the wiki then download this ROM : RUU_Rhodium_HTC_Europe_1.19.401.0_Radio_Rhodium_3.44.25.27_Signed_Ship.exe and proceed to Step 2 - Dumping your phones ROM.
Step 2 - Dumping your phones ROM
First you need to Dump the ROM from your Phone. Follow the instructions in this thread [TUT] Dumping an Rhodium ROM / SPL to obtain 4 *.raw files.
N.B: Although it might seem obvious to senior members, you must dump the ROM from your device before you flash it. If you have flashed another ROM to your device, then your orginal stock ROM is lost. You have 2 options, wait and see if your carrier will release one, or beg someone else with the same device to dump their ROM and share the *.raw files.
Step 3 - Reconstructing the ROM
-3.1: Extract the Kitchen to a Folder on the root of your PC (C:\, D:\, etc).
-3.2: Open the RUU_Rhodium_HTC_Europe_1.19.401.0_Radio_Rhodium_3.44.25.27_Signed_Ship.exe file with WinRAR or 7Zip and extract the ruu_signed.nbh file and place it in the BaseROM folder of the Kitchen.
-3.3: Place the Part01.raw (XIP) and Part02.RAW (IMGFS) in the BaseROM folder of the Kitchen.
-3.4: Run RhodiumKitchen.cmd in the Kitchen.
-3.5: Enter the following options into the Kitchen:
-3.6: e, b (for Dumped ROM). Press [Space] once complete.
-3.7: c, a (for Cooking a ROM).
-3.8: Press the "Play" button in BuildOS and wait for it to complete.
-3.9: Close BuildOS, Close PagePool Changer and Press [Space] to goto the main menu.
-3.10: You will now have a Flashable NBH file. Press f to Flash.
Now goto Step 5 - Removing Security Unlock
Step 4 - Flashing back to Shipped Stock ROM
If you were lucky enough to find a shipped ROM on the wiki or your carrier's / supplier's website, then just run the "ship exe" and follow the on screen instructions.
Step 5 - Removing Security Unlock
If you have purchased the SIM/CID/Security unlocker by Olipro, you can re-lock your device using the following tool : http://hpcmonex.net/htc/secrelock.zip
Step 6 - Restoring the Splash Screen
This is only needed if you couldn't find your Shipped Exe. If you have your Shipped Exe, you get the splash with it.
You're best creating a seperate folder out side the kitchen for this.
-6.1: Find a shipped exe from another WVGA device (HD or TD2).
-6.2: Extract the ruu_signed.nbh from the Shipped Exe using WinRAR or 7Zip.
-6.3: Use NBH Extract (in the Kitchen\Tools Folder) on ruu_signed.nbh
-6.4: Delete all files, except 01_MainSplash.nb.
-6.5: Use nbImg.exe as follows: nbimg.exe -F 01_MainSplash.nb -w 480 -h 800
-6.6: Delete 01_MainSplash.nb.
-6.7: Use nbImg.exe as follows: nbimg.exe -F 01_MainSplash.nb.bmp
-6.8: Use HTCRT in the Kitchen\Tools to make a NBH file from the 01_MainSplash.nb.bmp.nb file.
-6.9: Put the new NBH file and copy RhodiumCustomRUU from Kitchen\Tools into an empty Folder.
-6.10: Run the RhodiumCustomRUU.exe to Flash the Splash.
Step 7 - Flashing back to Stock SPL
-7.1: Ensure you already flashed stock ROM and Radio, because stock SPL flash is always the last step before sending the device in.
-7.2: Extract the relocker zip and run the EXE on your PC.
-7.3: If you wish to replace RUU_Signed.NBH that got extracted, feel free to do so, but not necessary (this Hard-SPL will only allow overwrite with a SPL signed by our custom cert). The included one is the 0.79.0000 stock SPL.
-7.4: Flash the Stock SPL
-7.5: Verify if it flashed by checking version in bootloader screen, it should say 0.79.0000, not 0.85.OliNex.

First, thanks for this. I write a fair amount of documentation of my work as a network admin so I know how time consuming this is.
cdguider has been kind enough to dump and reconstruct the TMoUS ROM so I don't actually need to do this (although I may just for the exercise) but I do want to start learning how to modify this ROM to suit my own needs. Is there a guide up that will get us newbies started on using the kitchen? Hopefully one that explains in detail what each of the kitchen tools are and what they do as well as how the Rhodium ROM is constructed. I prefer to understand what I am doing versus following recipe steps. For example, My Hermes ROM was partitioned into the ROM and an extended ROM where carriers could put their installers. Does the Rhodium have an ExtROM?
OK, back to the search tool.

No it doesn't.
For help with this Kitchen, see _Alex_'s cooking guides on the wiki for the Kaiser. That's where I started reading and then I just kept going, download kitchens published by other chefs and see how they put stuff together. There are two main types buildOS (like this one) and PRB that uses bepe's platform rebuilder - ervius's visual kitchen is based on it.
Thanks
Dave

Porting isn't simple, have a look for some tutorials on using BuildOS and porting.
Adding and removing programs, to add, just create OEM packages, to remove, just remove them.
Have a look at _Alex_'s cooking tutorials on the Kaiser Wiki.

Question
Hi everyone ...
First of all Thanks alot for this Tut Dave awesome work.
I dumped my Stock Rom from a unbranded O2 TP2 and rebuild it.
For Cooking i used the signed_ruu from RUU_Rhodium_HTC_Europe_1.19.401.0_Radio_Rhodium_3. 44.25.27_Signed_Ship.exe
It did everything like described and i've got a
signed_ruu.nbh (1.19.207.1) newest o2 Stock Rom.
Should be fine right?
Do i also need to do Step 6 so creating a splash screen?
If anyone needs this rom drop me a message ...
