i have tried doing this 2x on my G4 O2 XDA mini (UK) the first time it got to 2% and froze the second time it got to 50% and then the update programme disappeared and the PC said there was a falut with my USB device (i.e.my phone)

Fortunately using the latest O2 rom i have been able to re install back to the original.

I followed the instructions perfectly i think, i used the MR Clean 224a rom

my only posssible probs i feel were

1. The language : WWE

2.OEM : 2.24a

3.Operator Version :2.24a

4.Model ID : Wizard

All the files were exactly as stated in the guidance and the names were correct also for the Image and the Start address.

Are my Settings correct?

any help appreciated
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] minirx7:
I think you are not entering in the information correctly.

the OEM and OPERATOR VERSION is not 2.24a. It is 2.24.10.1.

Model ID: WIZARD in caps!!

Finally make sure that the memory address strings are correct. It tends to DEFAULT by mistake which can corrupt the ROM install.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] risidoro:
I agree. I think you cannot use alphabetic characters in OEM and operator version. So use 2.24, or 2.24.10.1 and NOT 2.24a.

Also, as minirx7 said, always check the OS address: it should be 80040000 but it defaults to 82040000. Beware: every time you press TAB to move to the next input field, the value is reset to the default!

Finally, start with a simple rom (nk.nbf). Put only OS and extrom parts in rom and then flash it. A error should be less likely.

Keep us informed.

So this will allow a person with a G4 chip to upgrade the ROM and get the custimizations? I only ask cause I got an 8125 loaded with the newest cing rom from them and believe I have the G4 chip because when I loaded sumiters lastest cooked rom the custmizations woudl start but would stop part way and the phone would restart. The rom is fine..but missing all of summiters goodies.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] minirx7:
When you reboot on the first screen, does it say *.0001 anywhere under IPL/SPL?

If so, then yes you have a G4 flash chip.

And yes, i am running Mr Clean 2.24a ROM on my G4 flash chip thanks to this tutorial!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] slimsaturn:
is this the only way to tell. I cont think I have it there but I thiught you could tell by the sticker inside the unit and because it came with cings new rom
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] minirx7:
When you reboot the first screen before it says WINDOWS MOBILE should show you teh IPL and SPL.

WHat ist he factory rom tha tyou have?

My O2 Mini S came with 2.21.xxxx.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] slimsaturn:
I have loaded summiter rom as I've said would this change? I will reboot and check
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] slimsaturn:
no .0001 after ipl or spl
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] risidoro:
So you have not a G4.

And you should thank the Gods of all the religions of the Earth for not having it: if you had had a G4 then your installing Summitter's rom would have irremediably bricked you phone!!!

This time you were lucky, but in the future be more careful and read more before upgrading your device or you'll end up with an expensive, not-so-elegant piece of furniture.

As for your problem with the customizations, i think the extrom was not installed (flashed) correctly. Try to reinstall summitter's rom or ask other users on the related thread.

i will try a different rom
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] minirx7:
PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR DEVICE IS ACTUALLY A G4 FLASH CHIP AND NOT A G3FLASH CHIP.

REMEMBER, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE *.0001 ON YOUR SPL/IPL, YOU DO NOT HAVE A G4 FLASH CHIP AND THIS TUTORIAL DOES NOT APPLY!!!

IF you ahve a G3, you can go ahead and use CID UNLOCKER and flash normally with the regular upgrades.

This only applies to G4's for which I have yet to see a ROM with updated IPL/SPL loaders.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] spacecat:
I have definitely got a G4 , i checked and it says .0001 after the 2 files you mentioned.

One question though the update programme is in Italian is this correct?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] spacecat:
MR CLEAN 2.24 HE SAY YEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!

FINALLY DONE IT!!

Realised that the 80040000 changed , it didnt do at first but only when i typed in HTC Logo. Its stopped at 96 % for about 5 mins so i thought it was gonna F**k up again!

just gonna start to test it out but it seems alot quicker responding than before.

Nice work Risidoro and cheers to all who gave me HELP!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] risidoro:
I'm really really glad you succeeded!!! :)

Maybe i should have explained it better, both in the tutorial and in my previous posts, that the OS address field reset to the default, wrong value (82040000) every time you move to another field or type something.

Enjoy your new OS!!!

So you guys,

As I'm not really experienced with rom cooking, I do not have the heart to attempt this procedure myself (although the tutorial is very clear). Would it not be a good idea to store the working cooked roms somewhere, so that everybody can access them? I'm positive that loads of people are for example interested in the adapted MrClean version, right :wink:?

Problems with my T-Mobile-de MDA Vario G4

Hi all,

i can do whatever i want - can't get it working.

I used this tutorial (which is really good - thank you). Everything seems to work fine until it comes to the rom update itself.

The rom updater don't get the right version of my installed rom (says i have 1.2.0.0)

When i continue anyway, it boots my device in this nice colored screen and aborts at 0% with error code [260].

After rebooting the device, nothing has changed.

With the original t-mobile rom it shows me the right rom version on my device and everything works fine - any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] napbird:
It's working! Thank you very much risidoro!

I had one issue which was the address of OS changed to 82040000 and flashing would stop at 50%. Once set it to the correct address 80040000 it works flawlessly:-)

One question is: I cannot upgrade to RUU_Dopod_Wizard_2231301_225_22313101_ship_full_CHS which I found on the ftp server. The flashing succeeded but when it's rebooted the OS wasn't upgraded, only extended rom was overwritten. I've tried to flash the OS only and it's the same result. Any thoughts?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] risidoro:
Re: Problems with my T-Mobile-de MDA Vario G4

The rom updater (RUU) is behaving normally, it reports version 1.2.0.0 'cos it's been hacked: the RUU no more checks the phone version, it goes straight to rom upgrade (and always reports version 1.2.0.0 whichever rom is, actually, installed).

The readme.doc (in ruu.rar archive) identify Error 260 as an OPEN PORTS error. I don't know exactly what it means though. Try resetting both your phone and your PC before attempting the upgrade. Also, close every running program that can be listening on some ports: antivirus, firewall, browser, p2p downloaders (emule, etc) and any other server or client program. Use only activesync 4.1 or 4.2, do not use version 4.0!!!

Let me know,

good luck,

Isidoro
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] risidoro:
I don't know why you're having this problem with the CHS rom. Note that it is not an original rom (it contains an hacked RUU so it has been cooked by someone) so there could be some errors in it. Try downloading the official rom from dopod website (i have not the address unluckily).

Bye,

Isidoro

PS: what RomUpgradeUtility did you use? You must use the RUU that i posted in this thread (ruu.rar); do not use the one that's inside the rom (even if it is an hacked RUU too). RUU version should be 2.5.2. Bye

is there someone teach how to flash a modfied ROM on SPL 2.21.0001 Wizard .thanks very much
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] minirx7:
Yes someone can teach you...

Its in the guide.. If you follow everything line by line, you will have NO PROBLEMS.

I had the exact same SPL as yourself. 2.21.0001.

Now i am running Mr. Clean ROM with an IPL/SPL of 2.21.0001

Hi risidoro, I did use your RUU. In fact I just extracted nk.nbf, took OS part and built a new nk.nbf using your tools. Maybe this rom is not a good one at all :?

Anyway thanks to you and I'm happy to be able to flash it with Mr. Clean. :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] risidoro:
I'll keep you informed if i find something new.

BTW: RUU files, typho5.exe and nb2nbf are NOT my tools!!! I didn't create them. I just took them and posted in this thread. They were developed by the great programmers that populate this forum.

It gives me error 300, anybody got an idea on why this is happening?

Anybody have an idea on what rom i should use?

The reason i am trying to flash it is becuase i bought in in holland, but i dont know dutch so i would like it in english or sve if possible.

Anybody got any suggestion?

I was considering cooking the MRclean 2240001a_aku23

but i cant figure out what to put in the OEM Version

and Operator Version

should it be 2.24

or 2.21 as i have?

Please Help! this is very important to me.

pre check my work?

I have followed the instructions up to the point of actually flashing the rom.

I only did the os and extension rom. I have the latest radio version which works very well. Is there anyway or anyone that could check my work before I do this?

Oh and I used the aku2.3 for cingular from summiter
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] risidoro:
ROM MRclean RUU Wizard 2240001a_aku23wwe.zip that you tried to install CONTAINS both IPL and SPL so you can install it ONLY if you have previously CID unlocked your phone.

Even if you CID unlocked it, i STRONGLY suggest you to cook a new rom (following the tutorial) WITHOUT the IPL and SPL parts: it's the safest way and you won't risk to brick your device.

As for the OEM version and the Operator version, you should put the version number you're going to install (2.24 for MrClean).

Anyway, those two field are NOT important at all, that is: you can put whatever number you like, they don't influence the upgrade process at all (however, even if not mandatory, it is advisable to use the version number of the rom you're going to install).

bye
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] risidoro:
If you like archeology then you can keep using the rom you have. The same applies if you're still using Ms Dos 4.0 on your PC or if you think that the USA are still a british colony.

If, on the other hand, you're aware of the year you're living in, then an upgrade is STRONGLY advised.

But, please note that: THE TUTORIAL POSTED IN THIS THREAD DOESN'T APPLY TO YOUR PHONE!!! DON'T FOLLOW IT!!!

Since you're still using a 1.x rom then you must:

- Search (in the forum) and download the tool: LokiWiz 0.2b

- CID unlock your phone. You're one of the few lucky persons that can still do it freely. Most of the phones sold nowadays are no more CID-unlockable (and my tutorial should be used by those, unlucky, guys)

- Install whichever rom you like (except MrClean 2.24.0001; but you can install the plain MrClean 2.24). You won't need any rom hacking or cooking: you're a lucky man!

Remember, ROM upgrade is strongly (IMHO) advisable. Newer roms are ways more stable, fast, capable (they have Direct push technology, Bluetooth stereo, and a lot of bug fixes).

Mind, however, that upgrading also means losing all the installed programs, settings and data stored in My Documents folder. An upgrade is like a hard reset: you'll have to reinstall everything!!!

Re: pre check my work?

HOW TO CHECK YOUR NK.NBF FILE BEFORE FLASHING TO YOUR PHONE:

- Download the archive NbfTool04.rar i'm attaching.

- Extract the executable NbfTool04.exe that's inside the archive

- Double click on it to start the program

- Go to File -> Open NBF... and select the file nk.nbf you've cooked

- Check if all the information are correct. Pay special attention to OS address, it's called wdata start inside the program. It must be 80040000 and NOT 82040000!!!

@risidoro - Great Job!

@risidoro: First of all, I would like to commend you an a great job on the tutorial, it makes the flashing of ROMs on the Wizard a whole lot easier and simpler. I just successfully flashed my i-mate K-JAM from the Mr. Clean 2.24 ROM to the official T-Mobile 2.26 ROM with no hassle whatsoever following your tutorial.

I retained the O2 splash screen though that I flashed from the previous ROM, and deinstalled all the T-Mobile stuff from the device, and lastly I removed the T-Mobile data connection settings and defined my providers settings, seems to be working fine.

later on it would be great if we could also change the versioning of the IPL/SPL, not that it has any effect on the device, hehe... I'm just sort of an obsessive character with stuff like that.

Anyway, thanks for the effort put into making the tutorial and providing all the necessary tools in one area.

GREAT JOB!!!

I'd just like to thank you for making this easy to follow guide. After I bricked my first phone I was quite worried about trying it again just incase (was my own fault first time, although the whole G4 flash thing didnt seem to crop up when I was reading into it!)

but I followed your guide and got Mr Cleans rom on there no problem, It's much nippier than the stock O2 rom.

No extension rom

I am successful in flashing the OS, the GSM, Splash, HTC Logo but for some odd reason the Extension Rom is not flashing. I even create an NBF with just the stock cingular extension rom and it doesn't seem to go on the phone. How can I tell the extension rom is on the phone? One telltale sign is that none of the cingular customization in the extension rom is there when the phone first boots up from the flash and the system information screen it lists no extension rom.

I specify the correct file give it a starting address of 9b000000 and name of Extension Rom like it says in the tutorial but still no luck. I've been at this for a couple days now and I think its about time to ask for some expert help. The system is a bit faster without the extension rom loaded but the manual configuration sucks and the extra cingular stuff that makes my life easier when used with my cingular carrier are not there.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] DynaMight:
Re: No extension rom

I had a similar problem, I originally flashed mine with the stock MrCleans but that screwed up (I think it was through using SPB Backup) so I re-did it again but this time using Mr Cleans T-Mobile UK version.

Anyway, I followed the guide both times and first time it worked perfectly but second time the Extended Rom didnt work, I couldnt even access it through Total Commander. I didnt think much of it, just assumed I didnt do something right.

I want to (eventually) move to 2.26 since thats has been released, but realize that the IPL/SPL is now different from 2.24 am I correct?

What is the consequence of this?

I'll keep a close track of the forum and hopefully some guru will come up with a cooked 2.26 version....lean and mean without excess T-M stuff.

thanks for putting these files here.

I already follow all the steps you mentioned on tutorials and also refer to readme document (from RUU.rar) but I didn't make it.

Radio version 02.19.11

Protocol 4.1.13.09

ExtROM 2.21.2.108

I did your method 3 times and none of them successful. The first time I used you RUU files but when it reached 53%, the update dialog box on PC just disappeared but the progress on MDA stil there,at 53%. I waited for 5 minutes and nothing happened.

Second time I tried, got the error message 264 - Connection...

third time, I used Mr.Clean 224 RUU and then I got error message 300.

I don't which part I did wrong. But when I did the nb2nbf step, the start address for Extension ROM and HTC Logo didn't come automatically.. so I typed the number myself (9b000000 and 9d000000). Is this the problem?

Also your newromupdateutilitywizard that I download ffrom you is in italian.. could this be the problem?

and I run newromupdatewizard from Mr.Clean and it says incorrect update tools

Can you help me?
