Hi! Could you upload a copy of your bigstorage Rom on the FTP? Thanks:)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] waiting4u:
Thank you so much !!!!! :wink:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] hartunnoo:
how much space it occupied to install all this CABs.. :lol:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] wiedz:
you can get the anasky's rom from ftp :)

it's the same version.

but you still have to 'work hard' to get it done.

i think it is much easier patching your rom using MKS's excellent software
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] hartunnoo:
Rollback

I done my mksbigstorage.

next time if I update my ppc using the new update software such as JAM_WWE_11100, what will happened to my bigstorage? will my bigstorage back to normal or what?

any suggestion ?

thanks..
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] wiedz:
you will have to patch again..

we have to wait for sumone who can, lets say, by pass ext rom installation..

or may be hacked the original ext rom.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] waiting4u:
@MKS, first of all, thank you so much for your great job regardless of the fact that it don't work for me ........ :cry:

My situation is like this...... I have a Chinese mini and it can be flashed to the new rom (downloaded from O2 Hong Kong) with the No_ID tools......

However, if I dump the rom (after a hard reset) and use your tools to patch it to "Big Storage", it simply don't work as it stuck on the boot loader after flashed the patched rom to the mini......

I have tried replacing (and not replacing) the first 220 (and 416) bytes of the rom but yet, they all give me the same problem.......

Just wanted to update you with this so that you may try solve the problem when you have time !!

Really looking forward to have a universal patch tools in the near future......

Once again, thank you very much for your great work !!!!! We all appreciate here !!! :wink:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] pongster:
Thanks for the info:)

Another question: Can I flash my pocketpc to the new o2 ROM BEFORE patching, so that i have a big storage 1.11 ROM? just a clarification...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] DrChair:
Re: Rollback

It depends. If you flash the whole ppc, the bigstorage is gone and you have a normal storage + ext-rom.

However, if you just flash the Radio-rom and the CE-rom (i.e. delete ms_.nbf, before you start to flash it), you only need to patch your rom at 2 places to get back the same bigstorage as before flashing (thus still containing all data)

the easiest way for this is:

1. dump your rom to SD-card

2. put SD-card in a cardreader

3. open the drive containing the SD-card using diskexplorer for FAT (or another diskeditor)

4. goto 0007E32 (hex) and change 80 00 into B8 01

5. goto 211E32E (hex) and change 80 00 into B8 01

6. put the SD-card back in the ppc and flash it back.

Call timers incoming morethan 600 hrs

After patching with MKS tool my incoming call timers became more than 6000 hrs. Actually it should be less than 30 hrs. While doing MKS patch I havent go the 416 copy because of my own ROM. I tried flash my original 1.11 to my JAM after the MKS and still I have the incoming call timers of 6000. Now I have new problem with my orginal 1.11 MY STORAGE FOLDER IS MISSING.

Yes beware that it may not universal to all rom. I just the newly released O2 1.11 rom and replaced the initial 416 bytes, after flashing it back to mini. it died, no matter hard or soft or anything u do.....

I was too happy when seeing it restoring the rom but....
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] tadzio:
Re: Revert back to original rom using download JAM 1.11 orig

Can't help you with the Storage, but here's a simple way to get your call duration counter back on track:

- from another phone, call your Jam so you have an Incoming Call

- during that call, go to Settinmgs -> System -> Clock and set your system time back by 6030 hours (roughly eight month).

- hang up

- set your system time to the correct time again.

Your Jam will think there just was a call of -6030 hours, and it will add it to your call timer. 6052 + (-6030) = 22, so your call timer should now be reset to 22 hours. :) Of course, you can pick any numbers you want.

Cheers

Daniel

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] waiting4u:
Re: Mini dead: back to service center

Do you mean that your machine stuck in the boot loader ??? I have the same problem and it can actually be solved by reflashing (using SD) with Anansky's Big Store 1.11WWE or any working backup of your Rom.......

The patch is not universal as yet and we all waiting MKS to check it out and try fix it when he has time !

ntrw does not seem to work for me

- copy ntrw.exe to C:\, open command promt (Start-Run: "cmd"), goto C:\ and enter:

ntrw read mksBigStorage.nb1 x: (x is the SD-card-readers drive letter)

- this will create a file mksBigStorage.nb1 on your C drive

- ignore ntrw's error message

- copy this file somewhere safe! (from the pdf how-to guide)

i've done everything correctly, backed up my ROM to my 256 SD card but i cant seem to copy my ROM to C:\ using ntrw.exe :oops:

i've followed the instructions to the letter... so how do we copy the backedup ROM to C: so I can begin to patch and flash into BigStorage using MKS and Ananskys tool?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] alexfendi:
Pongster......

i had the same problem. are you using a laptop? is your card reader built in? because if it is... then you are going to need another card reader. i borrowed my friend's card reader and everything went fine.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] HBK:
Before you start feeling like an idioit because this is working for so many other users, let me tell you something...

I have been experimenting with both Anansky and Mks since the first BigStorage came out, and I have no problems at all. I can move, patch and do whatever I will, without giving it second thought.

Then yesterday, when trying on another PC, I had to give up on moving the ROM to/from the SD card. It simply wasn't possible! Sometimes I got an error message, other times it seemed to work ok. But when I inserted the SD into the Magician to flash, nothing happened. The ROM wasn't recognized. Putting the SD back into the card reader reveled that sometimes the FAT32 format was still intact!

I tested the write quality of the reader by moving zip files back and forth, and ending by checking the integrity. No problems whatsoever. The data wasn't corrupted, for some reason it just didn't work :(

Conclusion: If this is not working for you, it doesn't mean you are an idiot. Most likely it's something on your pc acting up. USB port, card reader, bad driver or whatever. So move your files to another pc and try again. Chances are it will work out nicely :)

Finally, I'm on Big Storage using the latest 1.11 O2 Mini Rom! After 3 hours of testing if my built-in card reader was the problem, i decided to look for ntrw.exe again, using the search function in this forum and everything went on as mks and all the others have said! Woohoo! Yippee! The howto guide written and dowloadable (pdf file) is right on the money, save for some areas. in step #3 where you specify the name mksBigStorage, I found out in order to successfully patch using mks' tool i had to rename "mksBigStorage" to "rom.nb1"; put this in the same folder where you extracted mksbigstorger... then run mksBigStorageENG.exe! this will create mksBigStorage.nb1 for you! follow all the remaining steps to the letter and off you go!:)

How to patch your ROM

I've succeded patching my new O2 Mini 1.11 ROM with MKS bigstorage utility.

Here's how it's done :

1. Back up everything

2. Upgrade with orginal 1.11 ROM without patch

3. Using MTTY dump the ROM to SD

4. Using NTRW copy the ROM from SD to PC

5. Using MKS utility patch the ROM from SD

6. Using NTRW write the patched ROM to SD

7. At Bootloader insert SD card with the patched ROM & start flashing

Hope it's useful.

Re: ntrw does not seem to work for me

you won't have any error message in ntrw when rom file have exactly 64MB in other words 65536kB or 67108864B to make such file just add few 0x00 at the end of rom file maybe MKS will add this function to his program? :)

Re: How to patch your ROM

Hi Dihon,

Could you upload your bigstore O2 rom to the forum's ftp? I tried the MKS utility on my O2 mini 1.11 ROM but was unable to make it work. Thanks.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] ken_fish:
I have the same problem. I can flash my old backup rom but not the patched rom using MKSBigStorage tool.

I am sure I have followed the instructions correctly but it stays in SERIAL in bootloader mode forever. However everything is fine using my original backup rom.

Please help!

I am using O2 mini with the newly shipped 1.11 WWE rom.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] MStan:
For all people who stuck.

For all people who stuck in the serial and cannot receive “Press button to Flash” message.

I had absolutely the same problem as you all but I got lucky to brake this thing through.

You have to check the following steps:

A. Use only EXTERNAL CARD READER for all action (formatting, reading, writing) - not SD reader that is inbuild in laptop.

B. Error message in NTRW during READing and WRITEing – it is normal, don’t pay attention.

C. After writing the patch image on your SD, insert the card into the phone and restart BOOT LOADER already with inserted card. Check that you USB cable is connected as well.

D. After the flashing Check Sum should fail. Simply soft reset it.

Hope my information will be helpful to you!!!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] nsriza:
Agreed with MStan coz I face the same. Just to add another;

If your pc is slow like mine, please wait for a while (2-5 min) for the file to completely transfer at below stage ; because before this when the data still 0byte at the pc after refesh the folder doing the MKS utility patch, fail to run at the bootloader

1. Using MTTY dump the ROM to SD

2. Using NTRW copy the ROM from SD to PC

3. Using MKS utility patch the ROM from SD

4. Using NTRW write the patched ROM to SD

** my PC or the card reader may had problem**

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Koksie:
Ok, and yet another problem I have encountered: I cannot make a ROM dump of my current ROM! I am on WIN 98, and when I open the romupdate.exe I can chose \\.\WCEUSBSH001. Then when I click OK, I get no white field to write in, just the grey background of the program! I tried it on my roommate's PC, also WIN 98 SE, and got the same result. after trying it in DOS by typing at the c:\ prompt: romupdate.exe \\.\WCEUSBSH001 d2s, I get the message \\.\WCEUSBSH001 not found, after approx. 10 sec. I then thought of just flashing with a Big-Storage ROM from the FTP, but of course, without my ROM dump, I cannot replace the header, so I guess that won't work either. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong, and has anyone succeeded in dumping their ROM using WIN 98?

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] htvi:
f*ck, i failed almost at the finish... i cant write updated rom from my pc to sd.

when i'm starting ntrw and command him to copy the file to card he waits a minute (giving me the information about the sd)

but then after a minute he writes:

write file () mksbigstorage.nb1 -- The parameter is incorrect

i checked the sd, nothing on it.

tried different type of cards, the same problem.

i checked twice the 416 bytes (did it with ultra edit) i copied it exactly

probably the problem is my card reader...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] tadzio:
That's normal - just ignore that message. Also, ntrw writes the data in raw mode to the DS card, without any file system. That's why you can't see any files on it when you acccess it from a PC.

So, everything is normal. Just continue as per the instructions.

Cheers

Daniel
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] htvi:
yeah, i tried it, but it's not working. othersiwe i would see that i have ~70mb of memory used on my SD. and when i acces the card it's says 238...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] tadzio:
Then something else is wrong. The "parameter is incorrect" definitely is normal - I also got it, and it worked.

And again, ntrw overwrites the file system on the SD card - which means, any numbers you may get from any program or OS about how much is in use or how much is free on your card are arbitrary and wrong. Don't know which program says ~70 MB or 238 MB, but these numbers are meaningless. ntrw always fills the complete SD card, no matter how big the card is.

Btw, after you wrote to the SD card using ntrw, your card should be unreadable (due to the missing file system) on the PC and PocketPC, so it surprises me even more that you seem to get some data size information. Are you sure you didn't say "yes" when the PocketPC asked you if you want to automatically format the card? Then, of course, the upgrade data written by ntrw is lost.

Cheers

After successfully upgrading my Compact to 1.12 ROM with Big Storage, I see that 1.07 MB of the Storage ROM is already in use. However, in File Explorer it is completely empty. Only ignore_my_docs (0kb) is there. I am viewing hidden files, so that cannot be it. What is taken up my 1.07 MB? Has anyone experienced this? isa it like SD cards? They are 256 MB gross, b ut only 240 nett?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Matterhorn:

Make sure your Magician sais USB on the screen when the USB cable is attatched. Although it may not say press power to flash, just press the power button. With me the press power to flash did not show up as well, but as soon as I pressed the power button, flashing did begin.

.nb1 upgrade

Thanks for the reply. I have tried all the possible ways, but no luck. By the way, I was trying to upgrade with the 1.12 BigStorage ROM downloaded from the ftp. And strangely enough, when I dump the original onto a empty 512MB SD card. The backup rom file exceeds 512 MB instead of just 64MB. Can anyone help me out?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Koksie:
I think the ROM dump to SD just fills the whole card. In my case, my ROM dump was 247 MB as I used a 256 MB card. After running the MKS application, it gave me a BigStorage ROM image of 64 MB. That should be the correct size to write to your SD. Are you using an internal card reader? sometimes those do not work, external card readers are preferred.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] vz7:
But what about if I am using the 1.12 BigStoreage ROM which is available directly from the ftp site? It comes as a 64MB .nb1 file already. So I used ntrw to write it onto the SD and try to upgrade my mini with the SD card. No matter what I try.... it just does not start the flashing.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Koksie:
Ok, I am sorry, I misunderstood your problem! Did you patch the first 416 bytes from your header into the new ROm's header? Otherwise it will not flash!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] vz7:
Yes I did.... but it still wouldnt do it. I have tried with my old 1.11 ROM, now I get the prompt for flash, but it says Section=1, flash not permitted. I guess because I have copied the header to the 1.11 patched rom. But do I have to do it even if I am patching my old rom dump from my device?
