Yeah, somebody has cleaned out the ftp, and heaps of files have been deleted. Why have they done that, and why delete the Anasky Modded ROM.

So, can anyone answer my question:

However, when I did the update, it did its thing, and did everything expected, including the Checksum fail.

But, when I tried to reset, it came up with rom not being big enough. How do I fix this? I have restored to my original rom for now.

Hi all

As this thread is getting longer and longer I don't really know what to do exactly

I have a german MDAc and I would also like to access the Extended ROM Storage.

Where is the exact description to do this? And, will the device be after it in english?

Thanks

Sven
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] tadzio:
Hi Sven,

this thread is not about accessing the Extended ROM, it's about killing it, and making the space available for \Storage.

There are both German and English patched versions, so depending on which you install, your MDAc will remain German or not. :)

Look through this thread for a German description of how to apply the patch.

Cheers

Finally!...Press Power to Flash!

After a very tiring hours of trying and trying, replacing the 220h, 416, 19Bh, and waited forever for the never showing "Press Power to Flash", finally i thought I give it a last try.

1. using the 220h replacement to anansky's rom then

2. I followed one of the reply in thread by doing the 'd2s' backup again (although I already have it),

3. then leave the romupdate screen open, the usb cable still connected

4. take off the sd card, put it in card reader, do the 'ntrw write'

5. put the sd card back again in the XDA mini, press the 'camera+power+reset'

wait for 6 sec....voila! "Press Power to Flash" :-D

updating..done (with checksum fail)...reset...stuck in vulcano..

tried again with replacing 416, and..also stuck in the vulcano..

tried again with replacing 19Bh, and.."Sections=1, Update Not Allowed"

could Anansky or someone please help? :-( really wanted to have that extended rom as additional storage...

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] kinglee:
Must say that I had made it to this WWE Bigstorage ROm.

What got me stuck was the replacing of the ROM header using the Hex editor. Must pay special notice when over-writing the first 416bytes(220 does not work for mine). If the hex replacing is not done correctly, all kind of errors like Not enough space or Not Allowed will surfaced.

This is a good rom, had placed tons of programs into my \Storage directory which can now hold 26.72Mb. Of course the whole idea of using this rom is to get rid of the \Extrom folder.

Good work. anasky

Can someone put the CHS bigstorage onto the FTP once more. I would like to try it.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] mitchello:
What was your rom version before the upgrade? Did you do anything other than fix the first 416 bytes?

I couldn't get mine to work. It finished flashing then after reseting displayed the message "ROM not big enough"

Would anyone be kind enough to up this again? I have tried to download this file a few times and it appears to be 368kb and isn't a valid zip file. It appears that it's been overwritten or something. Alternatively, if anyone could point me to an alternate source, that would be very much appreciated.

Actually, just a couple of quick questions regarding the Chinese version.. can it be switched to English via the Regional Settings, and can it also display Japanese? I'm guessing no, but would be happy if I could b corrected (I would certainly like to have the MS IME on my Pocket PC).

3. do the BigStorage ROM upgrade (starting from backing up the 1.11.129 ExtROM)

interesting issue...

I don't know if this has been discussed, but I have a north american imate jam PM10C instead of PM10A, and after using ananky's update (I did not update to a new radio, i kept my NA radio rom 1.10) my device identifies itself as a PM10A and will not connect to ANY gprs access point.

I've reflashed through MA_upgrade to the NA release from clubimate, but the device still says it is PM10A (I am 100% certain it used to identify as PM10C).

I've tried to use ntrw to copy back my backup of the original rom, and after ntrw copies the image to sd card, i insert the card, put device into boot loader, and it just sits there, it doesn't attempt to flash the rom.

Any help here?

Anybody with a PM10C, can you backup your rom to SD and email it to me?

Thanks in advance.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] sunnycheng:
Hi Ahdee,

which 1.11 ce rom did you get? and where?

So you have to get the first 416 bytes of the 1.11 ce rom header right?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] kinglee:
GPRS is related to your providers setting and login.

The settings can be found in the cab file in your prev extrom.

Or you can check the ftp to see if it exists in any of the extrom provided.

kinglee:

thanks, I know as much about GPRS, and its possible that this is all an issue with cingular USA's network right now, but I am mostly concerned with the fact that my device now says it is a 900mhz jam (PM10A) instead of an 850mhz (PM10C).

I've checked and rechecked the GPRS settings a dozen times, and hard reset the jam too many times to count.

I'm currently reflashing anaskys rom to see if it works.

anybody have any ideas?

you can see here for the 1.11.129 ROM upgrade

for the 416 bytes, I copied it from my original backuped ROM before doing anything. then backup the Qtek ROM and replaced those first 416 bytes from Qtek to the BigStorage one.

Sorry I made a mistake here that the 416 byte in the Qtek ROM shouldn't be able to changed but the Anansky's one.

Good luck!

Hi,

I updated my HK o2 Mini English to the Qtek 1.11.129 Rom, by using the the MaUpdateUT executable file, and it worked, my machine turned in to the Qtek Rom, then I try put my O2 mini head to the anasky rom, and flashed it, it flashed, but still stuck @ the volcano...

Radio and rom are all updated... I have tryind copy 200 bytes and 416 bytes from the header, but still no good.

I try to do that...but then rom update won't let me back up that rom....I dunno why..

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] zetsurin:
Another O2 mini owner having difficulty here. Have been trying to upgrade for what seems like hours. The Qtek upgrade went fine, but from there not so good. First I used to get the 'ROM size not big enough' type message, then I added 70000 bytes to the end of the file and nothing, it sits in Serial mode. With my first attempts I overwrote the beginning 416 bytes of the anansky file with the bytes from my original backup. Now I have just tried by overwriting the initial 416 bytes of the anansky with the corresponding bytes from a backup I made of the Qtek ROM. Also no luck, no volcanos for me. Just stuck in the boot loader :roll: I can put it back to QTek no probs, but I would really like to get that flash storage.

Anyone else with an XDA Mini who can suggest anything I might be able to try?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] zetsurin:
Even though I haven't had much success here, I'm pretty sure that it would be bytes 0 - 415.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] kinglee:
What I did was to copy 000 - 416 bytes from my orginal rom to the bigstorage rom.

Just pay special attention during the cut and paste and observe that data has overritten instead of being inserted.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] sunnycheng:
ok

I copy 000-415 (that's 416 bytes)..and it was able to flash..but stuck @ the volcanoes screen.

If I copy 000-416, will I be able to flash it as well? or will it dis allow the flash?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] zetsurin:
Argh!

I'm going to have to admit defeat, I've tried everything... tried flashing with my 2 128MB SD's, 256MB SD and 1GB SD and in the rare event I can even get to the 'press power to flash' prompt (which sometimes takes minutes to appear) I never end up with the volcano :( In only two cases was I lucky enough to get a 'ROM not big enough' type message, most other times a post-flash reset only brought me back to the boot loader. I tried overwriting the first 416 (decimal) bytes, other times overwriting the first 220 (hex) bytes. No luck for me. I'm got to stop now until I end up killing the bootloader itself :) It must be the way I am pressing the reset with my stylus or something LOL. Anyway, the Qtek ROM seems better than the O2 ROM I had due to the COM port tab in the bluetooth and newer radio.

I just wish there was a way to unlock the Extrom only... actually, Anansky, is it possible to patch my backed-up original O2 ROM? If you are too busy no probs though. It's not possible at all to patch the files that the Qtek installer uses to put on the 1.11 ROMs is it? I always find that process goes quite smoothly...

Thanks for your effort anyway Anansky, you're a great hacker!!

416 bytes

Hi Sunny, I got the same problem previously, use "HHD" that available in ftp, select the header until it shows 000-416. Works with me.

Zetsurin, to unlock the ExtRom only, just run "loadVDisk.exe" from the \Windows directory of your O2. loadVDisk.exe is hidden and system so you won't see it, do it by creating a shorcut first using Explorer (PC). then you can access the "\Extended_ROM" (read only)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] zetsurin:
Re: 416 bytes

Thanks for the reply Asae, I have the ExtRom unhidden but I want to be able to write to it :( Since the customisation files are half the size of that ROM the manufacturers sure are wasting a lot of space on a device where space is such a precious commodity...

Actually, in your post, are you saying you copies 416 hex (=1046 dec) bytes or 416 decimal (=1A0 hex) bytes?

Cheers,

Zet
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Nutdhanai:
yay! I got it working first time round 8)

I used HexEditor (beta - new version) to open both the backedup.nb1 and the modbigstorage.nb1 then copy the selected 00000000-00041500 from the backedup.nb1 and pasted directly to the modbigstorage.nb1 (no need to select the 00000000-00041500 on the modbigstorage.nb1 window again) - the changed text (bytes) should turn red.

Then saved the modbigstorage.nb1

All other procedures are as explained in the procedure.doc

The mod is very very recommended (for non novice users), my O2 is running like a dream. For other ppl who are having trouble, you should try to get it to work because I think it was definately worth the trouble.

THANKS ANANSKY!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] zetsurin:
Well done, I'm jealous but now motivated to give it another go, hehe. So you are saying that you copied 0415 hex bytes? I have only been copying 415 decimal bytes so perhaps that is my problem?

Got it. My unit will only flash the ROM from my 256MB card it seems, and I was also making the mistake of deleting before pasting the copied blocks. For the record, I copied 416 (decimal, as in 0 - 415) and added the 70k padding bytes to the end.

YAY! I got it working now! FINALLY!

For those who are stuck @ the volcanoe screen, I think I know the reason now. Ok I was following instructions on this forum, tell me to "Select from 00000000-00041500" hey bytes, well that's what I did, I patched it, but every time it gets stuck at the volcanoe screen. I know this works for some people, but I found out that may be some machines or O2 Mini HK english specifically, you don't "Select from 00000000-00041500", you select only 416 dec bytes! I tried it last nite with hope, and worked the first time! So if your machine hangs @ volcanoe screen. try both solutions and see if one of them works.

Here is a pic for those who don't understand what I am talking about.

Finally

:D Finally I've succeeded upgrading my Mini ! :D

:P After a couple of days ending in ROM size not enough, no Press Power to flash dialog, stuck in Volcano screen, now I've made it :P

Here's how it's done :

1. I use Winhex to write Anansky modified ROM to my 256GB SD, then from my old ROM, I copy & paste :!: 416 BYTES :!: then save it back to SD. :idea: ( It's only a small amount of data, 416 BYTES not 416 HEX ) :idea:

2. Put SD to my Mini, wait a few minutes, then the dialog appears : Press Power to Flash, then press Power.

3. After 100% finished, ignored error report like Checksum error Download Fail.

4. Soft reset & you got no extended ROM.

5. Remember : full battery before flashing, copy & paste 416 BYTES only not HEX, wait a few minutes for the dialog.

Thanks Anansky for the GOOD JOB.

I find NOT SD card can be use for the rom transfer. I have one Panasonic 128MB, it works perfectly BUT my another Lexar 256MB cannot...no response from the O2 when try to start the transfer. Don't know why but this is the fact. I think (just guess) may be due to the Ram chipset or the transfer speed. Panasonic is famous with good Ram chipset and transfer speed.
