Re: it seems easier just to decode nbf, make bigstorage patc

1. These are source files, only to understand what tool does

2. The 'crc fails' mean just one thing - crc computed on decoded file differs from what's written in the header.

'other' nk.nbf's are of no use for testing the tool, as they are probably from different firmware packages, most probably, pre-1.13. The firmware updater used different encoding format for pre-1.13 packages; this format is supported by nbftool (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=xda2nbftool).

The nbfdec tool was tested on NL_11300_131_11200 and WWE_11300_550_11200 (nk.nba does not differ for these except for oem ID) and should work only with 1.13 firmware updaters that utilize newer encoding method.

For troubleshooting, please post:

1. the name of the firmware package (e.g. WWE_11300_550_11200)

2. the exact command line (e.g. nbfdec -d nk.nbf nk.nba)

3. the exact tool output (e.g.)

deviceId=PM10A
cellOpName=T-MOB005
language=WWE
firmwareVersion=1.13.00
deviceModelName=Magician
address0=0
address1=0
address2=0
crc32=6448ae5b

Header crc32/file crc: 6448ae5b/6448ae5b - MATCH

to copy the output you may use right-clicking cmd console with the right mouse button, choosing 'select' in the context menu, selecting the whole region and pressing Enter key

I am unpacking the NK.NBF from thr extracted MA_TMNL_11300_132_11200_Ship.exe downloaded from the T-Mobile site. Something is wrong. I am not able to understand what id happening. hlt kindly look into it. May be you can (I am sure).
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] oltp:
Hi hlt,

Long time no see. I can confirm that your nbfdec, still works smooth on the 1.13 roms, also non WWE. & it works on some other versions too.

The problems that were mentions were caused by corrupted input files & yes it's like allways 'garbage in garbage out' so no need to worry.

Must say I still agree with you that nbfdec makes the easiest upgrades to BIG Storage.

Thanks again, M
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] oltp:
C,

Does this one ftp://xdaupload:xda@xda-developers.com/Magician/113WWE_BIG_Storage_Shipped_rom.zip work for you? I got the confirmation from bteljuice that it works this time. It's based on the 1.13WWE from TMO Netherlands.

Yours, M

Troubleshoting

Could you please PM me a link to the download source of the firmware or just upload the firmware package to me (PM for ftp details).

There are two options possible - tool bug or firmware package corruption. Package corruption is of low probablility though - the installer probably uses file checksums.

Re: Troubleshoting

I have down loaded the T-mobile 1.13 TMO ROM from http://www.t-mobile.nl/zakelijk/htdocs/page/service/mda_compact_upgrade.asp

THis url I picked up from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade . I have successfully upgraded my magician with this ROM but nbfdec.exe is not able to unpack it and gives crc error. If you are not able to download from the said url PM me and I shall upload it on ftp.

Thank a lot for looking so deep into the prob...

Re: Troubleshoting

The correct URL is http://www.t-mobile.nl/zakelijk/htdocs/page/service/hardware_updates/mda_compact_update.aspx - not .asp (or maybe, they've upgraded the site ?)

I unpacked nk.nbf with WinRAR 3.51 and it decodes correctly with nbfdec.

Its CRC is bd84d674

deviceId=PM10A
cellOpName=T-MOB003
language=WWE
firmwareVersion=1.13.00
deviceModelName=Magician
address0=0
address1=0
address2=0
crc32=bd84d674

Header crc32/file crc: bd84d674/bd84d674 - MATCH

Given that header CRC in your nbfdec log was the same, my conclusion is that either the tool you used for unpacking corrupted the file, or the package was corrupted. To verify, just extract all files from the package and run ROMUpgradeUt.exe - in case of nbf corruption, it will give you 'CE image checksum error (102)' before even checking country ID
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] c_shekhar:
Thanks hlt. I shall download the ROM from the url you have posted. Incidently both (mine as well as yours) point to the same location of the ROM. I shall be downloding the ROM without the download manager and shall try. And post the feedback. Thanks a lot :) :)

hello...

im new here & my 1st major activity is big storage.

after tinkering with my xda mini & following different versions of upgrade, i finally got it using oltp's instruction (t.y. to oltp). i patched the o2 shipped rom i got earlier from o2. thx also to siapelbo, i was able to get my gprs & mms working. however, i still cannot do "o2 connect" -- message says o2 is for o2 device only. i've installed

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] oltp:
Does your device complains, NTRW or Windows? Cause I expect only Windows to complain that the cards needs to be formatted & that should not be done.

Just dump the rom on SD, put it in your cardreader & copy the content with NTRW to your harddisk.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] slimvad:
Heya!

I overlooked the second occurance and only replaced the first one, and...got a working BS ROM as a result. Not sure whether or not it was stable, as I reflashed the device again with the correct BS ROM (with both occurances replaced) within an hour or so and never really used the device.

However, no matter what I do I can't upgrade my radio version to v1.13:

With maupgrade I get error code 101, and with maupgrade_noid (and that htcXXX.dll renamed to XXX.dll) I get error code 150.

I can't decode the new radio_.nbf with nbfdec, and the xda3nbftool doesn't seem to work too. I did download the SD version of radio ROM but have no idea as to how to apply it.

Am I the only one to encounter the abovementioned errors?

I used wwe-113-550-112 shipped ROM. The device was originally a T-Mobile MDA Compact, but then I flashed it with an I-Mate shipped ROM (1.11 I believe), and now it reads Qtek at startup. The specs are now as follows: CE 1.13.00, Radio 1.12.00, Protocol 1337.42, I haven't installed anything of the Ext ROM yet (but I did try to flash the new radio BEFORE patching the CE ROM for BS -- got the same error codes).

Many thanks in advance.

Problem at step 8 too!

First i would like to know at step 6 i need to extract the NL_11300_131_11200.exe to get the file nk.nbf and paste the information (the 416 byte from "myrom.nb1")?Or just open the *.exe with the hex editor and paste in this that 416 byte from the backed image that I made at step 5?

I have tried already both solutions but when I enter the bootloader nothing happens(only "Serial"...bla...bla).By the way when I put the sd in my magican he is not asking to format.When I tap the Storage Card enters normally.

Could be a problem the sise of my SD(1GB)?I have no idea what to doo! :(

Hi guys. I used WWE_11300_550_11200.zip Shipped ROM-file.

I found 2 signatures of bytes needed to change. I changed them. But after update process, device booted with installed components of Extended ROM, and without Extended ROM folder.

So I decide to try another way to "make" Bigstorage in device.

I uploaded BigStorage ROM file WWE_1.13.00.zip and try to change first 416 bytes of that ROM with 416 bytes from my backuped ROM.

Process of update were completed (with checksum error), but device did not want to boot and staied in "Serial v1.0" mode.

No one way did not help me, and I do not know the reason of this problem...

What is my mistake?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Polletje:
Confused

:?

Okay guys: first BIG thumbs up for all of you! (Very nice, all this, indeed :D )

But I'm confused:

I followed the steps in the pdf file from ampda and am afraid I going to get mixed up with the steps from oltp.

I've got the update 1.13 (with the ugly boot screen from T-mo) on my I-mate jam (which I use with KPN)

I've made a Rom-file from that version (and saved the extended ROM before upgrading to radio 1.13)

Everything OK so far

But know I need to hack the ROM with the HEX editor and now I'm not sure what to do: need I replace the first 416 bytes? Or change the 80 00 in to b8 01? (only found 2 of them by the way)

Cheers!

TIA for any comments.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Polletje:
Ok.... read a bit more and the answer will follow.... (Japanse weken hè :wink: )

But just to make sure, replacing the header is the same as overwriting the first 416 bytes, right?

And resetting after installing the BS wound install the extended again?

Cheers!

hey i dont see why u people use the complicated technique of using a card reader and an SD card to flash ur ROM when u can do it easily via active sync. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade

see the link......also the link says un-tick USB connection in active sync, but i dont think thats necessary, mine worked without doing that.

Also remember after the BIG storage ur phone takes around 3-5 minutes to start.....so dont panick seing ur phone stuck at tbe boot screen. but yes u do need to take a back up of your ROM using the boot loader method described earlier in this thread(i didnt have to). u can dload the T-mobile ROm here http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/download_manager_mda_com.html however this has radio 1.12 so u can just install the new radio from this thread.

Any way i upgraded to the Tmobile 1.13 and seen that it doesnt have "Running Apps" like my previous o2 did, but it does have a program called "meamory" in settings which does the same thing. I use claunch to keep icons on the today screen so i needed to find the original location of this "Meamory" so i went to the windows folder and started clicking on every executeable hoping that one of it would be "MEAMORY" and once i was done to my surprise the file explorer showed me the EXTENDED_ROM directory, so fortunately for me i didnt have to use the other conventional methods to copy my ROM as described in this thread. i have no clue as to which application was responsible for revealing the extended rom directory. may be u guys could give it a try and tell me if this worked for u guys as well..good luck.

also could ne 1 tell me where to get the "running Aps" application from...i still cant find the location of MEAMORY

So here is my question : i wanna upgrade my device to the newest shipped ROM as well as the newest Radio vers. , in order to fulfill my aim what files ( i mean which ROM and Radio version and other needed apps etc. ) do i have to have and may i get them from XDA ftp ?

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] oltp:
@clyde08: with BS you can store much more apps or dll's on your internal storage folder, which leaves you more precious RAM available for running apps. This makes your device usually a much smoother experience.

This makes flashing only to BS not enough, you also need to choose to install new apps to Storage instead of main memory. And when you really want to go for it: move dll's from \Windows to eg. \Storage\Windows & hack rhe corresponding reg. keys.

Cheers, M
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] clyde08:
thank you oltp .. but what about the ROM upgrade.. what makes 1.13wwe special?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] oltp:
It's IMHO the most stable rom I had on my magician. It comes with newer battery drivers etc. The radio rom version is dubious. It claims to have a radio 1.12 though a radio 1.13 was available before. Still I don't have any problems with the radio & is seems much much better than my original radio 1.00 ;-). Make sure you backup your original ext-rom cabs though. The 1.13 WWE is from t-mobile and probably your provider has stored some operator specific settings in your cab files. Can save you a lot of time searching for eg the correct gprs, mms settings.
