Xda II Keyboard & Inquiry

Thanks for the information! By the way, this is something I posted recently but I've received no responses yet. Maybe you folks can point a way through.

"Please help! Being an avid user (I really enjoy the old system environment I was using), but not that much of a "techie". I've managed to create for myself an interesting problem/ concern. I followed a link here in xda-developers and I foolishly tried upgrading my system through the following: Himalaya_WM2003SE_Upgrade and HIMA_WM_2K3_EXTROM. I need to and want to restore back to my old system. Please help me!!!

Note: Not being a consumate techie, but a user, I may have overlooked a something below... But I desperately need to restore.

"I obtained (with many thanks to fychan) a memory image of an English version of WM2003 SE which is an earlier version than the recent Chinese release, but it is genuine English. I managed to create an installable NK.nbf file from this. Also, mamaich has provided the version 1.18 Radio upgrade included here. Many thanks to mamaich for that and also for some advice when I was building the OS nbf file. Also, mamaich has provided some CAB files for Extended ROM which I have also attached here separately.

Attached is an upgrade for Himalaya devices to WM2003 SE WWE, Radio 1.18. Unzip the attachment into a folder of your choice. The nbf files are configured for operator ID O2 and language ID WWE. If you need to change these, carry out all the steps below. If they are OK for you, go straight to step 5.

1. Extract the decrypted versions of the nbf files by entering the following commands at the command prompt:

Code:

xda2nbftool -x NK.nbf NK.nba 0x20040304

xda2nbftool -x Radio_.nbf Radio_.nba 0x20040306

2.

3. Modify the operator ID in the nbfs to the value you require by entering the following commands at the command prompt substituting <operator> with the required value:

Code:

xda2nbftool -sd PH10 -so <operator> -sl WWE NK.nba

xda2nbftool -sd PH10 -so <operator> -sl WWE Radio_.nba

4.

5. Update the crc values for each of the decrypted files by entering the following commands at the command prompt:

Code:

xda2nbftool -c -u NK.nba

xda2nbftool -c -u Radio_.nba

6.

7. Encrypt the files back into the nbf files by entering the following commands at the command prompt:

Code:

xda2nbftool -x NK.nba NK.nbf 0x20040304

xda2nbftool -x Radio_.nba Radio_.nbf 0x20040306

8.

9. Place your device in the cradle, ensuring that the cradle is plugged directly into a USB port on your PC and not to a hub and that the power supply is connected to the cradle. It is also a good idea to disable any screensavers.

10. Run HimaUpgradeUt.exe

11. Sit back and wait for the Congratulations screen to be displayed on your PC. Your device will still be displaying 'Upgrading radio stack, please wait', but as long as the PC says it is done, then its all OK.

Notes:

a. I have installed this upgrade on my XDA II without any problems, and have also been able to revert back to the 1.72 ROM I had installed previously. I have bootloader v1.01, and I don't know whether it would be any different for later versions of bootloader.

b. After upgrading, a hard reset takes places and the Extended ROM is installed. I found that several applications caused a 'Application may not display properly.....' message box to appear which required tapping to dismiss. Therefore, you will need to make sure that TPDisable.exe is not run in the Config.txt script in the Extended ROM, otherwise you will not be able to respond to the messages.

Edit: I've created a .BAT file which can be run from a DOS prompt to replace steps 1-4...

Usage: OperatorUpdate operatorID

where operatorID is O2 or CDL or TMOBILE, etc.

Just unzip the attached zip file.
