Hi all,
This is my first attempt to contribute to this forum. Hope you like it. :wink:
In case of problem the FAQ below may help.
If any body want to share their Wizard ROM (e.g. CHT ROM currently doesn't have upgrade program) Yet the ntrw may not 100% reliable, they can just backup their OS ROM using aWizard and then share with others using the xda-developers ftp site.

[Attention]
This utility is created for experimental purpose only. Use it at your own risk!
!!!!Please choose the unlock CID option before you flash any new ROM!!! Or your phone may risk chance to become dead!!!!
Starting from version 1.3, please put your ROM file to the "ROM" folder and BMP file in "SplashBMP" folder
Version 1.3 beta 2 is not fully tested. If you have doubt please use version 1.2
[Introduction]
aWizard is a user friendly ROM Utility which provide a single place to do Wizard ROM related tasks. OS ROM can be backup and restore using USB ActiveSync connection. In addition to backup/restore, I have successed in modifying the OS ROM and flash it back to the Wizard. This function will be available in the coming releases depends on demand.
Some user have reported that they have successfully backup and restore their Charmer(MDA Compact II) OS and Extended ROM. But again. Please make sure you know what u are doing before your write anything to the Charmer. I don't have a Charmer device to test with. So do it at ur own risk.
Other ROM Types like Bootloader, Radio and Extended ROM will not be affected. To change those parts, please use cooresponding update programs and then use aWizard to change the OS to your desired one.

Q3 : I have the follow error during the read or write operation, what should I do?
Copying C:\aWizard\lib\itsutils.dll to WCE:\windows\itsuti
Could not update itsutils.dll to the current version, mayb
try restarting your device, or restart ActiveSync
A3 :
If the error occur, that means the USB connection is interrupted.
- Please DON'T reset your Wizard.
- Please re-plug the USB cable and wait for ActiveSync to reconnect.
- Run aWizard to retry the operation again.
P.S. You need to login to download the attached file.
Why only OS? You should add 'radio' too.

I am still finding way to do so... Maybe you can help finding out how. The code of aWizard may give you some hint.
But if you really want to upgrade to latest radio ROM (e.g. the T-mobile is the latest at this moment), you can download the MDA Vario Upgrade Program from T-mobile. Then restore your backuped OS ROM. Of coz the installed program have to be backup using Backup Managers first.
b - doesn't work now! You have a mistake in .bat file 'r' instead of 'b' :wink:

ahlok, I could successfully backup the ROM. But when I just tried to write the dumped ROM (exactly the dumped file) back to the device with option 'w', it raised error: 'File [] size not valid!'. What's wrong there?
And if I downloaded an official upgrade ROM and used Extend Tool (64HTC Extended ROM Tool) to decode the '.nbf' to '.nba', can I use that decoded '.nba' file to write the another device with your utility?

Please run cmd.exe at ur PC and go to the lib folder. Then run "pdocread -t" and reply here or PM me the result. Thanks.
On my charmer I get the following output
3 partitions, 2 binary partitions
customerid=00000000 uniqueid= 00 00 00 00 49 0b 01 01
real nr of sectors: 116736 - 57.00Mbyte (0x3900000)
ahlok_hk i would like thanq for your time and releasing this little but very helpful application.
When i return from Xmas holidays i will try it with my Qtek 9100 (English version).
But i have a little question, what is .nba files and how they've been used?
Thanks psneddon, ur result shows that Wizard and Charmer have the same OS ROM size. I think this tool should be ok for Charmer.
I have add some code enhancement to prevent error of negatong. Please use the latest version 1.0c and see if it can write the ROM back. Wait for ur good news. : )

.nba files are decryted ROM. If there is demand, later I will post new version of this tool to modify the ROM easily.
Just dumped my Qtek 9100 ROM (english) with the following info:
ROM 1.6.7.1 WWE
ROM Date: 11/28/05
Radio Version: 01.13.0
Protocol 4.6.13.24
ExtROM: 1.6.7.101
and the ROM is located at:
http://www.richardgoodwin.com/Qtek_9100_1_6_7_ENG.zip
Give it about 20 minutes to upload. Like the aWizard tools, I take no responsibility, etc If this becomes a popular ROM, I hope one of the forum folks will upload it to the xda-developers FTP...

Thanks rgoodwin! I sucessfully flash ur new ROM to my Wizard! Could u also share the extended rom? You can use total commander to copy the content of "\extended_rom" out.
Only if you promise to tell me any changes you see with this ROM version, in areas like:
speed
stability
GPRS performance/stability
http://www.richardgoodwin.com/Qtek_9100_1_6_7_ENG_Extended_ROM2.zip
Doesn't seem like there's much in there!
P.S. One more request....seems like when I find an app and install it, then if I say need to replace the installed EXE with a patched version, the Qtek says it's no longer compatible or missing a component. I thought I read this might be due to digital signatures, but I'm not sure if so or how to get around it...
ahlok_hk i would like to flash my Qtek 9100 with the new rom posted by rgoodwin. If i'll use aWizard which of ROM/Radio/Protocol/ExtROM will be updated?
Thanks rgoodwin again! I just played with the new ROM without install the Extended ROM. So far it is as stable as the other ROMs.

Dear bill_viper, If you download the first file by rgoodwin, you will upgrade the OS ROM. Download the 2nd one and copy to \extended_rom will upgrade ExtROM.
ROM
By reading the description of this utility I don't think this ROM will have the radio firmware in it. I could be mistaken.
Thanks again for the reply ahlok_hk.
But reading your description i found this:
"<w - Write OS ROM to device>
- Use this option to write OS ROM file to your device. Even you have bootloader and Radio ROM from vendor A, you can flash OS ROM from vendor B to the Wizard. No SD Card is required. "
According to the above i think that if i'll flash my 9100 with the new rom the radio will not be upgraded. Am i right? If yes, how can i upgrade radio rom too?
I need to get a hold of the ROM on my QTec 9090. I want to change the Extended_ROm portion of the image, and then write it back to the device.
OS:
windows Mobile 2003 second edition.
Version 4.21.1088( build 15045.2.6.0)
Device:
ROM version: 1.40.00 WWE
ROM Date: 03/10/05
Radio: 1.12.00
Protocol: 1337.42
ExtROM: 1.40.149 WWE
I did try the OSImageTool but was unable to do anything with the resulting .nb1 file i tried "Split.com" but it only made on large header.nb1 file (other filed hade size 0).
Any other method to change the Extended_ROm would also be appreciated.
PS, I have tried :
-Changing the original ROM ( from www.WindowsMobile.no) but no password i could find would unlock the ms_ file.
-backup ROM to the SD card, but device hangs on "Calc Checksum".
-Programmically chage the protecting and type of protectiong on "\Extended_ROM\VOL:", using DeviceIOControl.
please read wiki .... :roll: :roll:

G4 devices appear to have additional security. Add to that the fact that most of the neat copy tools here (awizard etc) seem to have issues with IPL 2.2x devices anyway and you can understand that there really isn't much to help in your situation.
As your device is Cingular 8125 with G4 Chip, it must have come with Cingular 2.25 Rom. I would suggest downloading it (either from here or HTCAmerica.net) and consider that as your "backup" because it will put your device back to the original shipped configuration.
Also, please don't cross post.

Hi all
Back Story:
Due to a frozen OS (back /home /swipe down for notifications etc.) and bazaarthings happen with the sound settings rendering my device unusable I've had to dabble with it for the first time.

My first fix attempt was the "restore system from backup" option from the recovery menu, but alas a missing backup image... fail one...
Also note worthy is that my menu has less options than most screen shots I've seen on youtube etc.
menu options:
>reboot system now
>update system/mcu image from /sdcard
>recovery system from backup
Failing to find the original image anywhere, I went with malask latest ROM that looked likely to work on my device ( from what I have read here a massive upgrade anyway! )
However it is not going so well:
Attempt 1:
Pop update.img + mcu.img (kgl1 1.77) on empty SD card in gps slot
result:
-- Update rkimage...
Finding update package...
=== UPDATE RKIMAGE===
Find and check firmware...
Can not found firmware image or invalid image
Installation rkimage start.
Installation rkimage aborted.
Installation mcucfg start.
Installation mcucfg aborted.
Installation mcuimg start.
Installation mcuimg success.
System will now power off.
Rebooting...
Attempt 2:
Pop update.img + mcu.img (kgl1 1.77) on empty SDcard in media slot
result: same as Attempt 1
Attempt 3:
Pop update.img + mcu.img (kgl1 1.77) on empty usbStick
> it does not see the USB drive in the recovery screen
> ( but does once system reboots to it's slightly frozen and broken OS )
Attempt 4:
The rock chip Android Flash tool
> my windows PC does not see the unit ( I expect for same reason that unit does not see USB until it boots into the home screen
> the Rock chip driver installer tool claims to have installed the drivers correctly
Attempt 5:
getting desperate...
5.1.1 update.img for mtcb (low res / "_p") found off this forum / mega
result: same as Attempt 1
I am now officially stuck, ideas anyone?:eek
Am missing something?
Maybe links to different ROM to try on sd card?
Any help greatly appreciated !

Are you certain this is a 3188 device? possibly a 3066.
And you don't need to flash mcu each time. Id stay clear of mcu. It may be the problem.
I think I got the rk3188 bit off of the original advert 2 years ago...
I will go hunting rk3066 firmwares and give them a go
Thank you for replying with the pointers
Thank you! It was a rk3066
Now successfully on standard Kit Kat
Crazy sound seams fixed by OS update!
However, still no touch response along the Android bar so can't use home / back / swipe down for notifications
For now will install a " button saver " app
Probably will end up installing a custom ROM and read up on peoples hardware button remapping attempts
