Go in bootloader mode, (yes, the device will factory reset, so backup before) by pressing all at the same time: power, record and the reset button.
Cradle the device, kill the processes wcesmgr.exe and wcescomm.exe if they are active.
Connect to the device with a terminal program that supports USB serial connections.
http://www.xda-italia.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=93
Ensure to take the whole device, so use the three lines.
“d2s 80000000 02000000“
“d2s 60000000 00300000 sd a“
“d2s 70000000 01080000 sd a“
Please be carefull not to interrupt the dump process, your dump will still work and checksum OK but the resulting SD card will not result in a working device after loading from it.....
I did it with success a couple of times, and scr$$ed up once because I had an error during the dumping of the image and still tried to load that image on another device.
Good luck.
Willem.
thank you Willem for your kind reply..
seen also how to restore it on the link you provided.
thanks again

Well for your info, it is working to save the ROM on the SD, but if you try to restore it, it won't work

My Qetk is stuck in Bootloader and ask a friend of mine to do this trick, (same model) and it do not work
I think some addresses are not correct
In the saved dump of GSM module there were no any ST commands found. So i think XDA3 MDA3 memory map is not same.

If you are getting the error above, that means, that the SD image was done on different device than yours. If you want to avoid it, you have to have SD image done on your device, and you have to copy it's header out of it and then paste it over your friend's SD image header.

I think that should be rewritten as "same bootloader version" since I restored the image on another device w/a problem. Works fine. Guess that the dumps are differently done per bootloader version.
I'm not quite sure. That header is some kind of checksum...
In wiki it says that the checksum depends on the SD card... however, it could depend on the bootloader version.
But then, I have 1.06 and i took the chinese 696 SD ROM image, which has 1.06 BL as well, but I was getting "Not allow update" till i changed the header from my SD card...

Hi Daimaou,
You need to change/overwrite the header of the SD card data. Please

Hi !
my device is stuck in bootloader
V 2.06, I ask a friend of mine in france to dump its rom on a SD, while I am trying to put it on my Qetk I got Section 3 not allowd
So it seems that my friends SD is OK, but cannot use it, any idea?
I need my Qetk working soon since I will fly to China and US

that's not that bad at all. keep your friends SDimage for now.
did you try to rerun the official ROM package for your device?
just give it a try... cradle it and run it...
don't use any USB hub, jUst straight USB connection to your PC...
let me know then...

Yes I did, but the PB that so far no Official ROM image in French exist, I tried the UK (WWE one) but always Country ID Error, whatever I am doing (used the xda3nbftool.exe)
this is how to do it on xda2, but you can give it a try:
Download upgrade/downgrade package from your favourite provider
Unpack it into some directory (use WinZip or WinRAR)
Delete "GetDeviceData.exe" and "enterBL.exe" (don't edit .nbf files)
Restart your device in bootloader mode and cradle it (OPTIONAL)
Run "BAUpgradeUt.exe"
i typed those .exe names just from my head (sitting in the car right now), so maybe they are slightly different...

Doesn't work
error 120, country ID, 11-11-12-12-12

I don't want to be rude but it is 1:17 AM in Tokyo now, and need to wake up early tomorrow, so cannot continue now, but please don't let me down I don't want to send my Qetk back to France and wait a month to have it back...

I have O2 XDA III (german), with radio rom v.1.10.0.
I've tried to find the way how to backup that rom and upload it to FTP. Can someone tell me how to do that. I've searched the wiki, but I didn't found the real solution.
Do I need to use XDArit or XDAtools? Can I do it under Win98, or I need WinXP/2000?
I have SD card and SD card reader.
I've described the process here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18128#98117
You can do this under Win98.

I've tried this and it doesn't work. When I press ok, I don't get terminal window. I've also tried this using COM2 (thats my modem) and it works fine, but with usb I don't get nothing
you should terminate Activesync before running MTTY. Kill processes wcescomm.exe and wcesmgr.exe with task manager and enter bootloader on your device (press and hold power+camera buttons and reset). The screen would write "serial ...", insert it into cradle, screen would write "USB ...". Run MTTY, select "usb" or "\\.\wcescom01" port and everything should work.
And don.t forget to do a backup, this will hard reset your device.
Thanks in advance for sharing your Radio! I've asked in any Forum, i know, but nobody seemed to cooperate. So it is great hearing somebody helps us.

The problem was in win98, in WinXP everything worked fine. So, this stuff doesn't work with win98. When I backuped it, I couldn't transfer the backup on my computer (ntrw transfers 256Mbytes and says that something is wrong with the image). I think the problem is that I have MMC card, not SD card. I should get SD card today, and I hope that everything will work then.
Hope the upload will work, just put it in the root dir, as you can not put it in any of the folders.
Curious to see if this further improves GSM/GPRS etc...cheers!
Can't wait to hear the feedback on the 1.10 radio. I was going to go 1.08 but seems like a waste when this one is so close.
Ok, HappyGoat, do you have the path you saved too for this magic Radio?
1.08 is nice, works fine. Of course I must upgrade for no reason other than insanity, hence Im looking for the file.
Thanks
Rich
Is it also possible to extract the whole ROM from your device, so that I can update my SPV M2000 with your O2 ROM?
Any news about this new radio rom?

The Radio 1.08.00 is available again on the ftp server. Have a look in the BlueAngel folder, it's in there.
Any progress on getting the radio 1.10.00 version...?
I've borrowed SD card from a friend, and I have to bring it back until saturday. So, I need some quick answers.
It is 256Mbyte SD card. I've done the procedure of backup like instructed. You can see my log in attachment.
After that I put the card in Transcend 7 in 1 card reader. I've used ntrw to backup the SD on my computer, but something is wrong. It creates 256MByte file on my computer. The picture of console window is in attachment. I did like I was instructed, and i've also tried "d2s" (to backup only WinCE) and all combinations (only Radio Rom etc.), but the result is the same.
Any suggestions? I really need to do this quickly.
Try this command in DOS:
Code:
C:\ntrw read XDAIIs.nb1 i:
Just might work, not sure. In either case, thanks alot for trying and sharing this with us...
No ideas?

DreamerNS,
it is normal that you get a 256MB file, because your card has this kind of size!
The ntrw tool makes a full copy of your SD card it don't know how much data on your card is stored.
So make a full backup of your XDA, zip the 256MB file and upload the file to the ftp site.
Greetings

No. It is just filename, you can put anything you like there. it can be xdaIIs.nb1 or xdaIII.nb1 or IdontKnow.nb1 it doesnt change things, but thanks anyway.
It's too much for me to upload 256Mbytes. I have only dialup connection. Is there any way to extract radio rom from 256Mbyte file? If everything is allright, why is it says "ReadFile(): xdaIII.nb1 -- parameter is incorect"?
DreamerNS,
The unused bytes in the 256MB file will probably be zeros, and should compress to just a few kb.
Back in the days when mp3 FTP sites were all the rage (before P2P) I used to take advantage of highly compressable data like that. Sometimes you'd get a site where you'd have to upload a certain amount of MP3s before you could download. All you'd have to do is create a huge black .BMP file and rename it .mp3. Thanks to dial up modems automatic compression, you could upload a 10MB "mp3" in seconds! Hehehe

Hi,

I've formatted the card in fat32 and renamed the RUU_signed.nbh file to TRINIMG.nbh as per wikki, but I only get the bootloader screen, not the one shown on the wikki page.
Can anyone help me?

right click, properties and if it is an empty box at the top it's good.
I'd recommend to save all your files to your PC and format the card to FAT32 in your card reader, then copy the TRINIMG.nbh to your card's root.

I suppose that there is no way of flashing this from sd card if I can't flash anything else. Got a bad feeling!
No resulution yet
try this
copy Des Crash Proof Bootloader and TRINIMG.nbh to the SDCard.
On the phone use a file manager to get to the SDCard and run Des Crash Proof Bootloader.
The phone should restart and use Des instead of Olipro. The ROM should then update.
I've used the same process on my M700 without any problems.
Hope it helps

I'm embarresed to keep asking, but...
I've put the contents of "Hard-SPL_ZakMcRofl" (Thanks tynnyt), with the "trinimg.nbh" file I want to use. First of all the "ROMUpdateUtility" will not execute in Windows Mobile. I can start "EnterBootloader", which takes me to the des bootloader screen, but no further, it does not initiate the "trinimg.nbh".
There's probably more wrong with the 'phone than I think, so I wait for the battery to drain, get a replacement from Orange and hope that they just bin it!
Thanks for all your help.

Just on the off chance, do you happen to be flashing from a SDHC card? I can't get mine to read NBH files always have to carry my 2GB whenever I want to flash a ROM.
Obviously not the only person that thinks so... here
0. Make sure phone is hard-spl first
1. Make sure SD card is formatted with fat-32
2. rename the image file (ruu_signed.nbh) to rhodimg.nbh, then copy that to the ROOT OF THE MICRO SD CARD, Insert card into phone
3. Set your phone in bootloader (Hold the "volume down" and hold the power on button until you see the tri-color screen.
4. Then follow the on-screen instruction
5. (OPTIONAL) -after flash, make sure to hardreset (pull battery, insert battery then hold green and red PHONE buttons (send/end) and hold powerbutton) follow onscreen instruction.
thanks for the info
I've tried the above and somehow it won't work on my TP2, it stays at "Serial" text in the white box, I'm assuming it already went past the SD slot then? Checking for the image.
I have the Energy rom loaded on the SD card, named as explained in the first post in this topic, it is placed in the root of the SD card, no folders or other files exist on that card. I removed the SIM card from the phone just to be sure. Is there anything I am missing, or is there anyone else who actually used this method to flash his or her device?
Info:
SPL: OliNex 0.85
ROM: |RHOD|6.5|ROM|WWE| ★ EnergyROM "Warhawk" (23016) ★ | Built Aug 21 |Manila 2.5 / 2.1|
SD Card: 4GB MicroSDHC (No brand on card, supplied with the branded T-Mo TP2 (Vario V)
Formatted: fat-32
Thanks
The nbh file needs to be in capital letters! RHODIMG.nbh
And step 5 isnt to be done until the "Tap screen to set up device" screen!
Just reset when your phone says Update successful!
And done, name changed to the correct format. No luck. Reformatting the card now to see if that changes anything. Update in a few.
And that too didn't work sadly. Either someone here notices I'm doing something wrong, or I'll just wait till I get near a machine natively running Windows Running Mac OS here so can't run the executable, and read that it's not quite a good idea to flash it from a virtual OS.

You will want to partition your card so the nbh image is in a partion of at the largest 1G, anything larger makes it hard for the phone to find and read the nbh file! I have a 1G card just for flashing and it works perfect! And it also may be the mac, they never play nice with windows!
It's not the mac screwing it up in this case as I am using a virtual Windows OS to work on the card. (MacOS leaves some folders on the card that I don't want on it)
Will try partitioning the card, cheers. I'll update when I know more. ANd thanks for the help ^_^
Update:
Partioned the MicroSD card to 0.5GB, no change sadly.
thanks for information
Ok, SD update worked now, however, step 5 won't go (Oh crap...) Have the grey screen with "Update Complete" and "UPDATE SUCCESS" However, it won't do anything if I hold down Send/End/Power at the same time for over 10 seconds. How long should that take normally? What's my best option right now? Can't see any other than to unplug the phone and take out the battary, however, will this brick it?

Thanks for the swift reply! Done it, it's booting up as I am typing this. Didn't quite have the guts to just do that without having read I could when flashing from SD. (Was unsure how the device would react to soft reset then a first booth with the SD present etc)
Anyways, rambling. Thanks!
these post are telling me how to flash while the rom is already on the phone, but i'm missing the step on how to get the rom file on the phone in order to move it to the sd card.......... how do i get the file to the phone? do i put it onto the phone from the computer or do i go to my browser on my phone and download it from there to the phone

Everything you need to know is HERE. I really suggest you fully read the instructions so you avoid bricking your phone by mistake.
In re: making sure you're hardspl'd first, does that still apply if you're flashing an official ROM? Or just for user cooked ROMs?
I'm about to update my Verizon TP2 with the newly released official 6.5 from verizon. I'm not hard spl'd, and honestly, know very little about that particular modification.
not for official
I dont think you have to be hard SPL'd for an official ROM. I think everything is included in the ROM package. (at least for T-Mobile it is)
btw the .nbh does not have to be named in all capitals. I have personally done it both ways with no problems at all. RHODIMG.nbh works just as well as rhodimg.nbh

Thanks for the quick response!
Sadly, the way the install file is set up to work, I can't get to the nbh file. It insists on installing that via an active sync connection. I was hoping it would extract from the exe and schedule it for active sync installation, then I could hunt down the ROM, copy it to my SD card, and run it from there.

hmm.. sorry for kicking this post, but you can unpack the exe-file with winrar. just grab the biggest file you can find (RUU_signed.nbh, and rename it to rhodimg.nbh), copy it to your root-folder (fast way for accessing bootloader is to also copy the "EnterBootLoader.exe" -file to your SD-card, and to start that file after copying both the files). Now just enter the bootloader, and it works! (don't be scared when the screen goes black for a moment, and the bootloader has reloaded. It's meant to do that )
I still have a little question by the way: is it possible to flash the hardSPL this way? or should i rename it to something else?
No, Hard SPL needs to be done from the PC as it checks IMEI online and IP address. You only get 1 licence, can ask for more or purchase more licences, but it can't be done any other way...

Yeah, it's a pity this has been done (though I understand why...)
My device cannot connect to PC anymore, so cannot use HSPL anymore!

Much obliged. I've actually been scared off the official vzw 6.5 because of issues upgraders have reported, but someday I'll put that to use.
Hi folks
I Just found a dusted "Blue Angel" Device in the cupboard, that I always wanted to use with Linux but had already given up some time ago.
Now, before selling it off at ebay, I wanted to give it another try and was delighted to see the "idiots guide" on this wiki page:
[xda-developers wiki ]BlueAngel_Linux
What happened so far:
I go to buy a SD-Card of 2GB (couldn't get a smaller one at my local store), put the image on it and give it a try.
It boots and brings up a familiar login prompt.
I login with root/rootme and get: "can't access tty; job control turned off" and a shell prompt.
The keyboard only works partially (only letters, no punctuation) so i can't even type "cd.." to navigate
Googling and looking at some (wiki-)pages here, at handhelds.org and linuxtogo.org didn't help me any further yet.
My Questions:
Did I do something wrong up to here?
What to do to make the keyboard working (did I mention it's a german Device?)
Can I launch some kind of GUI at this point (heck I don't even know if the Image contained GPE or OPIE ;-) ) or is the "can't access tty.." a problem i have to fix first?
Is there a more up to date image (to fix the keyboard-issue) I can use with the idiots guide or some evenly up to date documentation out there? I'm a regular Linux-User on the desktop and not afraid of the command-line?
Device Info:
Model No: PH20B
ROM Version: 1.22.01 GER
ExtROM-Version: 1.22.182 GER
Radio Version 1.06.00
I hope someone can help me on this before I go the ebay path
Greetings from .de

I have QTopiaII working on my BA, the instructions are a bit scattered and kinda confusing (and very, very outdated), but you should be able to run it without having to input any code into the HaRet prompt. It should do everything by itself. If I can, I will upload the contents of my SD later today so that you can try to d/l directly onto your card.
It could also be that you are running an older version of HaRet...

That would be great for a test-run! Thanx in advance I think a gzipped (iso?) image file would do it, I'll transfer that to the SD using dd.

I must admit that I don't really unterstand the HaRET magic yet. Didn't find any documentation until now.
Can you point me to some usable Documentation for my project? At the moment I'm interested in:
- HaRET (how to configure and use it, up-to-date downloads)
- How to build a SD-Image by yourself (I stepped on something similar at handhelds.org but that seemed really outdated.)
- Any info readable by a non-developing but willing to learn human
Thanks again, Markus
qtopia
i have tried qtopia in my BA if u run the HaRET it will generate a img file in u r sd card it is about 200 mb why dont u try to copy img file to the sd card

I don't know much about HaReT myself, but I do know that you have to have the right parameters on the default.txt (or config file) otherwise, the thing will either crash or not boot (and this is where it can get tricky).
As far as the SD image, I was trying to get something to make an image of an SD not too long ago and I found a program called Winhex, which can make images of sd cards. However, you need to get the full version to be able to mount the image on a card. You mentioned something else in your post. Are you using a different program for SD images? I would love to know about this program if you have one.
I haven't forgotten about the things on the SD card, I will post them (SD image is not necessary though) but I just haven't had the time.
-go to: http://www.linuxtogo.org/~htcpxa/htcblueangel/Qtopia/
-download Qtopia-Linux-htcblueangel.exe and QtopiaPhone-image.rootfs.tar.bz2
-copy them to sd card, make sure you have at least 200-300 mb free
-start Qtopia-Linux-htcblueangel.exe,for the first time it will generate a 200 mb root file, so it could take a while
-next time you boot in qtopia it is much faster.
ps: you dont have to edit text files in this case.
ps2: also on irc-freenode there are developers who managed to install even ubuntu on there phones
