Re: mda vario rom

Ok I understood. Arabic rom isn't just a normal localized rom. If you analyse an italian rom, for example, you see that the only difference with a WWE rom is the presence of about a hundred of .MUI files. These files contains the italian translations for all the text strings in the phone.

Arabic rom, on the other hand, differs from WWE not only for the presence of the MUIs, but also for the fonts, the write direction (R to L), probably the soft input panels.

To have a complete translation then, imate has to use a third party program: IMAGINET Pocket Arabizer (http://www.imaginet-software.com/index.aspx?p=products). This is probably installed from the ext-rom after the first boot.

The problem is that, as with every other imate program, the program checks the device's IMEI (or serial num or something similar) to determine the manufacturer and installs correctly only on imate branded devices.

This explains the "Can not run on this device" you saw at the first boot.

I think you'll have to buy the 3rd party program if you want a fully localized arabic rom, sorry!

This is normal. The RUU you used to install t-mob rom is a slightly modified (hacked) one. It will always report Current Rom 1.2.0.0 even if you have version 7.4.0.3!!!

mda vario problem

thanks risidoro, but I already have a copy of the arabic from pocketgear with it's keygen.

I'm running it all the time, but I thought I could install an arabic rom, cause with this pocketgear arabic, it's just an application which disappears and needs to be re-install everytime I have a hard reset !

Can't I get whatever files needed from this arabic, and cook my own rom ?

Thanks again.

Re: Yo, risidoro your awesome!!

Ehehe a bit of headache. I'm alcohol-resistant, a quality you have to learn to survive at campus! :)

Yes, quite odd! Anyway, in case you want to restore cingular rom back you can use the tutorial.

I've tried MrClean, Summitter's 2.24 (that's the same as mrclean), and latest t-mob 2.26. I didn't keep any of them, though, 'cos i always experienced problems with the gsm (radio) stack. I often lost the signal and had to wait a couple of minutes to get it back.

Sure, i could cook a rom with only the t-mob 2.26 os (so to keep imate's 2.18 gsm part), and probably someday i'll do but, somehow, i feel more confortable with a fully localized italian rom.

T-mobile 2.26, however, is a great rom, recommended!

Re: mda vario problem

KEYGEN?!? What is it? :)

To extract some files from a rom and copy in another one, you need to go a bit further the tutorial. You must learn how to use imgfs_tools, edit initflashfiles.obj and deal with hive .hv files. It's all more complicated. Have a search in the forum for imgfs_tool if you want to know more. (if you apply in your studies then you'll have the honour to enter the 'Cook of the year 2007' Contest!!! :) )

A simpler way (but i don't know if it'd work) would be:

- install the arabic rom (again!)

- remove the useless IMAGINET pocket arabizer

- install a registered copy of your favourite arabizer software

PS: did you CID unlock your phone in the end?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] g0dblissyou:
To All the Factory Rom owners of Wizard or MDA....

First of all very very appreciate to risidoro and all the authors that made it possible to cook rom and giving that knowledge to everyone.

Take my word, speed on my cingular is extremely fast on the cook roms right after it's flash, and after you install the rom, I notice you can overclock it to at least 264 without any problems, unlike when I had the offical rom. Gosh this is the best for your bucks if you dont' do it's your lost, but read carefully and ask the pro's, like I did.

Thank you,

Knowledge is power

Cheers and beer for all ..hah..

Hi,

I have followed this thread and created a nk.nbf file. I just wondered how I would go about flashing this on a Charmer, not Wizard?

Do I just need to find a different update program or is the nbf totally different for charmer?

cheers, trying to recover my phone.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] risidoro:
I wouldn't do it if i were you, wizard and charmer are two different devices: their roms are not interchangeable.

Bye
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] rocketrobot:
I have made the ROM from a charmer ROM, I was just following the guide, but I can't seem to flash the nk.nbf file I have created, it either says Invalid device or can't read file, depending on which exe I use to try and flash it.

I just wondered if there was a similar RUU for the charmer, and also whether I have in fact created a valid ROM? Some of the software used here is for the typhoon, so why not Charmer.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] risidoro:
If you used a charmer nk.nbf then you could probably install it by using charmer's original RUU (extract a charmer rom and find it there).

HOWEVER, i don't know if charmer OS address is 80040000 like wizard's and the same applies to the other parts' addresses. There's a serious risk to brick your phone!

As i said, I wouldn't do it if i were you.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] salecg:
I just want to say THANK YOU for this manual! I've flashed phone by manual from first page, later I saw that there is other tools (for checking of new rom). My only dilema was OEM and Operator version. Because my original versions was 2.21.0001... 2.24... I've tried to flash phone with latest Qtek "186504-ruu_9100_2170702_21707102_20710_qtek_wwe_ship.exe" and I've entered 2.21 for this values. It works... for now :)

Thank you!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] risidoro:
I should have said it clearly in the tutorial: YOU CAN USE WHATEVER NUMBER YOU LIKE IN OEM AND OPERATOR FIELDS!!! The number you choose is not important at all!!! Only try not to use alphabetic chars or too much long numbers. I, usually, use the same version number of the rom i'm cooking (in your case i'd have used 2.17) but 2.21 won't make any difference.

risidoro, im haven the same issue as evilito with the ext. rom.

Tried several ones and verations and i just cant get it to go on.

everything else loaded fine os/splash/logo so on just no extension rom.

I followed your steps exact. g4 with 2.25.0001 for ipl/spl.

Any idea's or anyone else have this issue and figured it out?

Thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] risidoro:
Which extrom did you use? Which rom?

Have you tried to open the \extension_rom folder using totalcommander? What can you see inside?

Try to cook a nk.nbf containing ONLY the extrom and see if that works.

Also, if you didn't install a stock rom (i.e. original t-mob 2.26) then try asking the one who created it.

I'm sorry i cannot help you more but i think your problem has nothing to do with the tutorial - provided always that you followed it exactly.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Br0ken:
doesn't make a \extension_rom or \extended_rom folder.

I think the reason is cause its locked being its a g4 rom.

just don't know why the other parts would install.

What i did was grab the ext rom off the ftp and dumped it in a folder named \extended_rom and then executed the autorun.exe in that folder.

all installed. But for a hard reset its wiped clean and you have to manually do it again that way.

What happens if you factory reset without restoring any apps? In other words, factory reset, choose not to restore your apps (or don't attach to a Google account on initial setup, and do it post-setup). In other words, do you have an app that is blocking this access?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jumnhy:
Trying this now. Thanks for the suggestion!

Update: Tried this. Did another FDR, signed in to one of my Google accounts afterwards, but haven't updated a thing. The audio/voice/video/bugs seem gone; however, the ****ty battery drain I had before is back. I'm playing around with some settings to find out what can be done. I'm also going down the list and updating the system apps one by one.

Does anyone know a good testing process (ie, should I run the app? do I need to restart after install? run the app and close? etc) that will keep me from getting false negatives (ie thinking an app isn't causing the problem when it is)?

Update again: I'm working down in alphabetical order through the factory apps. However, after the most recent factory reset, it appears that my battery drain is back, and as long as the battery drain is there, the phone works normally. So, not looking good in terms of battery+functionality for me. Went through the 40ish apps that were on the phone stock--after the fresh reset, the phone is working, but the battery life is shot to **** all over again. Not sure what to make of all this, and now back to being frustrated with a 4 hour battery life from the phone that never sleeps. UGH

Update yet once more:

For kicks and giggles, tried unchecking the "Touchless Control" in settings, to see what effect that would have on my battery. But, reasoning that whatever wakelock was keeping my phone up all the time had to be persisting after it was needed, I guessed I needed to reboot to get rid of them. Booting up again, I'm back to battery life without audio/video/etc. Very confused here. Apparently it has nothing to do with the apps installed, period.

Restore your backup, unroot, restore official recovery, should be ok to leave s-off, relock bootloader. Factory reset. Think that should suffice.

Thanks very much. So, apologies for my simplistic view on these things, but I am not that experienced with this.

Stock Nook Color running TeamB CW7 from SD card. It seems its infected with the android.oldboot virus. I figured I would make a new sd card and move the books over. After screwing around for a day trying to make a new card with 2 different cards, both scandisk, one gb8 and one18gb I realized they were both class 2 cards which was why they wouldn't work (rookie mistake) Its been over 2 years since I made the original which hasn't given me a problem until now.

So I saved the books from the infected sd card but it wont let me reload or reformat it. I tried several different card format programs but they keep saying its write protected. There is no lock on it or the card reader. Tried different readers too.
