I just put together the following pieces
OS 1.72.00WWE
Radio 1.17.00
ExtROM 1.72.901 eDsubSofT (Nevermind the "1.60.36" that is in the nbf header)
"CountryCode" = TMOBILE
All configured for T-Mobile NL

Hi Edsub,
I have just downloaded 1.72.901 of yours and try to upgrade my mda 2 from t-mob.
what i have is te last beta version of t-mob 1.72.wwe boot version is 1.02
when i try to upgrade it with your version i get the following error
ERROR 122: EXTENDED IMAGE FILE CHEKSUM ERROR
Can you tell me what is it I am doing wrong???
Thanks
Hello edsub,
Does the 1.17 Radio version works with the 1.72 Fra, or it needs a french 1.17 Radio ?
Is that possible to upgrade only the radio ?
You can use this radio with your device. No language specifics in it.
(as I was told)
The checksum suprises me.
I can open the ms_.nbf with er2003edit with the normal key.
can you?

Ok, and is it possible to install the 1.17 alone, without upgradeing all the device ?
Did you notice differences between 1.14 and 1.17 ?
You can upgrade every part separately from the others.
Just delete the NBF's you dont want to upgrade
Radio.nbf = Radio ROM
NK.nbf = OS ROM
MS_.nbf = ExtROM
Does this upgrade of the Radio only requires a hard-reset at the end ?
did a radio upgrade only
(removed the OS and Extended rom bkf files).
Device is dead (displays SERIAL after Cold Reboot).
Recommandation: don't do RADIO only, upgrade OS + Radio + Extended Rom whatever you're told.
btw, Extended Rom is corrupted.
I noticed the extROM was not OK.
Just uploaded a new archive wich should do the job ok.
@tde: oops, I just read that on the wiki-page
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/HimalayaRomFlashing?version=8
no problem edsub, I should have read it too before starting flashing... this is not my first upgrade so I have no real excuse
just back to my old imate 1.72WWE, it's been a while since I didn't flashed my device, this rom is really OK.
@tde, do you mean you have succesfully installed my roms or did you revert to your own?
edsub,
Are you saying that the extended rom you have developed is not ok?
Is this ROM save to load on MDA II, which has only had T-Mobile ROMs on it?
edsub, is this the ROM I requested?
Edsub
I re-flashed with the latest Rom from IMATE I had (1.72WWE), but upgraded the radio to 1.17 by the way.
Now I have to recreate a new extended ROM ...
@ Gratefuled: My ExtRom was ok, only the NBF file to be used to flash was corrupted. This means that in the first upload version of the upgrade archive (see first post inthis thread) you could simply NOT upgrade the extRom (upgrade utility refuses it).
The currently available RUU172901_eDsuBsofT.exe should be ok.
@tde: The ExtRom in the new version should be ok. The OS rom inside my archive is the same as your iMate OS rom (Qtek and iMate 1.72.00WWE OS roms are the same).
@all: Still waiting for comments on the newly uploaded archive
Home-cooked 1.72.901 upgrade package (1.72.00/1.17.00
@ Edsub,
Hi,
I have succesfuly flashed my mda 2 with your rom. It worked just fine i wil try this further and post my coments.
thanks,
keep up the good work.
I am a new qtek 2020 user.
Can i use this rom for the provider proximus here in belgium ?
Basically you can. But for the extended rom contents I would advise you to get in contact with others on Proximus for the specific network (ie GPRS) settings.
Also, you might not like the T-Mobile startup splash screen.
And: You HAVE to update the "country id" (=operator/device identifier)
.
What bootimage does it have?. Does it has the T-mobile BETA bootimage?. I don't mind the T-mobile image, just not the beta part
It has the 'normal'(ie not beta) T-Mobile boot-image.
Images were taken from 1.60.36 rom
Is this upgrade the Windows Mobile 2003 SE equivalent?
So when flashed it has the same software features as described for the Qtek 9090?
When flashed to Tmobile, can I still change the settings to telford? Has anyone don that already?
thanks

Finally I found time to publish my own cooked Extended Rom.
It is to be used together with the 1.72.601 QTek OS and Radio Roms
(do a search to find that upgrade).
Carefully read the Description.txt file on upgrade instructions.
I used the ExtRomUnlocker software because that keeps you from the flash-process which has a higher risk to mess up the device. Therefore I put together a RAR archive and not a NBF rom-image file.
I used this Extended Rom now for over 4 weeks without any trouble (for whats its worth to you . . .)
There is still one issue i am having with BT GPS and TomTom3: When TomTom cannot connect to the GPS (GPS off, BT off, GPS out of reach), it almost freezes the device. I work around this by simply not to try using TomTom without GPS connected.
Any clues on solving that are greatly appreciated.
Please post any remarks.

Is there a way to put that new iPaq PPCE for T-Mobile USA ROM/OS on my xdaII? -or is that a bad idea? -is it possible to get that ROM anywhere?
its a bad idea. This rom would make your XDA2 a piece of metal.
...ok, so if I'm on TMO USA will this 1.72 upgrade work fine for me? I've heard it's generally a bad idea to upgrade unless you're really unhappy...I'm on 1.60.00wwe & radio 1.10.00 -so how will I do better? I'm tempted just to wait til the SE is out...
The 1.72 OS & Radio rom will work fine for you.
See the other threads for the benefits, but they really come down to:
- improved BT
- improved battery life
My ExtRom can be of use too, but you will need to setup the T-Mobile USA specific settings (like GPRS, Voicemail, SMSC and maybe some more)
I have an MDA II, with the UK 1.72 Beta on it. Can I upgrade with this ROM, without any special configuration of the country id, or anything else. Or will this require some special changes to the .nbf, use of extended rom viewer, etc, etc.
I'm ok with upgrading a ROM, but I do not want to mess around with the device beyond that. Too many horro stories out there.
Ik heb een T-Mobile MDA II maar het is lang geleden dat ik heb geupgrade. Ik zit momenteel op 1.60WWE. Ik zie dat dit een extrom is, wat gaat er precies geupgrade worden? Zit er ook een nieuwere radio version bij of zijn het "enkel" o.a. de zaken die jij aangaf?
Enig idee wanneer SE uitkomt want ik ben al een paar maanden hier niet meer geweest

If I decide to use this ROM when the Official T-mobile comes out am I going to have country ID error problem again like when you have upgraded from... I-mate to T-mobile ROM or vise-versa? Or it is just straight forward upgrade?

From the replies I think is about time to clear some things.
1. My archive is just the CONTENTS of a ExtRom that I put together. Benefits: All new versions & works together perfectly with 1.72qtek & contains customisations for T-Mobile Nl that I want.
2. Because its NOT an NBF, you DON'T have any country code issues on the ExtRom
3. For your device to work, you will at least need a 1.72 NON-Beta OS & Radio rom. I use the Qtek ones, but planning to upgrade radio to 1.17. Withe the OS & Radio you may entouter country code issues, but they can be solved via the instructions on this site. You will have country code issues when your device currently is not running a rom from the same distributor. ie: if your running an official T-Mobile rom you will encounter country code issues when using the 1.72 Qtek or iMate roms
Hope this helps . . .
Thanks for clarification...

Sorry for the extra question but that didn't clear things up for me...
Leaving the C-code error aside which seems solvable, are saying with my current rom & radio (posted above) I can just download your 1.72 and will have no issues?
CDTV, you first have to get the 1.72 rom upgrade (for use of os & radio) from Qtek or iMate.
AFTER you upgrade to that os & radio, THEN you can use my ExtRom.
OK, but Ihave an xdaII from o2 bought from expansus & unlocked using w/TMO...am I out of luck to get the update? is it really worth it? (batt life & BT a lot better performance?)
From where I can download this 1.72.900 version upgrade?
From where I can download this 1.72.900 version upgrade?
@heshamsch:
errrrrrrr in the first post of this thread?
remember its only the contents of the ExtRom, You need a 1.72 os & radio to get it to work properly
@CDTV:
I cant judge if you wil benefit noticably
I benefitted (especially BT, to be used without any extra tools now!)
Remember the ExtRom contains (more or less) Éxtra's and NL specific customisations
edsub a lil help man
i got the official 1.72 WWE rom installed and considered installing this extended rom,but i do not know where to put the files in order to install or the process....is there some program i use to install a walk through would be greatly appreciated,also is the radio better than 1.14.00?
Ext Rom Tmobile
Hi, your Ext rom suits fine, but.....I use KPN as my prvider and would rather not see the T mobile screen when its starting up. Is this easy to fix within the ext Rom and if so how can i change this.
Thx
Ferry
this should be do-able.
You need to change the images that reside in one of the cab's.
Use ce cabmanager to open those. You can try this s/w a number of times before you have to buy.
You cant just put any bitmap in.
Search this forum on 'splash image' how to create your own (KPN i suppose) image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=3759&highlight=splash+image
Hello,
I am looking for the latest Rom update For my Qtec 2020.
I Currently have 1.66 WWE
I need 1.72 WWE
Etended Rom 1.72.800 (i think)
And radio version 1.17 or later.
Can someone help me to upgrade my Hymalaya ?
Where Can I get these Files ?
So it is without Provider !
Thanx in advance.
The provider specific bits are in the ExtRom.
So in fact you can use any 1.72.00 upgrade file and delete the ms_.nbf file before proceding.
Afterwards you can fill your Extended Rom with the applications you want using the Extended Rom Unlock tools.
BTW: This is always a better solution because using a 'wrong' ExtRom could get you into CountryID trouble with the next upgrade.
There are numerous posts with 1.72.00 rom upgrades in it, but I :lol: would recomend my RUU172902WWE upgrade. It is documented what the files in the ExtRom all do, so its simple to skip the operator specific ones.

I am showing no extended rom after upgrading to 2003se all my o2 software has disappeared and I have no camera software anymore. Did I do something wrong? How do you work with the HIMA_WM_2K3_EXTROM.RAR file and OperatorUpdate.bat file. I must be so new to this. Please somebody help I've spent hours on the forum, I just want my phone to be updated properly. Thanks
I suggest you read the thread on upgrading better. A lot of upgrade 'packages' do not contain an extROM because a lot of us just what to customise it anyway.
A cmplete package consists of 3 nbf files:
nk.nbf - the os
Radio.nbf - the radio rom
ms_.nbf - the extended rom
There is a good SE ExtROM in this thread (by me):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39938
Hello again,
I am a little green when it comes to extended rom.
I have referenced the page you suggested but how would I alter this to work with O2?
Also my bluetooth microphone doesn't work but the speaker does.
Is this also symptomatic of having no Ext ROM?
Thanks
Middo
According to the Wiki, the latest shipped WWE unbranded rom is 1.18.255.106, and my phone has the .108, so I just uploaded the upgrade package for that ROM (which I got from the support site (one of two here in Finland)) to the upload section of the ftp, in case someone wants it.
This version is for the "Finland and the Baltics" area, and the phone itself has the Scandinavian keyboard layout.
- Pud.0
Thanks for the shipped rom, it is exactly the same ROM version 1.18.255.3 and the same radio version 1.03.03.10, the only change is on the shipped Extended ROM version from 1.18.255.106 to 1.18.255.108.
I've updated the wiki and moved the file to safe heaven:

All roms are 'branded', also the HTC TyTN rom is branded by HTC.
Acording to the info *now* on the wiki (it will change on the future), the newest ROM is Cingular 1.34.502.1, which is dated 2006-09-21. This ROM has radio version 1.16.00.00, but the i-mate ROM dated 2006-09-08 has a newer radio version 1.20.31.10 which has been extracted so you can flash it separately if you want it on your device. The latest AKU build for the Hermes is on Cingular's ROM 1.31.502.1 which shows OS Build 14989.2.6.0, this means this is an AKU 2.6 while all the other available ROMs have AKU 2.3.
To remove the operator branding and have an 'unbranded' rom you just need to softreset before the ExtROM is installed after the device is hard-reseted.
You can install Cingular's 1.34 or 1.31 ROM (depending if you prefere AKU 2.3 or AKU 2.6) with I-mate 1.20 radio and HTC 1.18.255.106 ExtROM which will add HTC's tytn branding to your phone. This should be "the latest" rom now.

I successfully downgraded, CID unlocked and then upgraded to swap from Swedish to English, this worked like a CHARM!!
BUT!! The keyboard hacks does NOT seem to work,, heeeeeeeeeeeeeelp!!
@Pof's quote below
"To remove the operator branding and have an 'unbranded' rom you just need to softreset before the ExtROM is installed after the device is hard-reseted."
is this mean -
that i need to do first is perform the Soft reset after i have completed or successful flash a ROM from the WIKI shiped ROM list,
then make the unhide ExtRom, then remove the ExtRom operator brand, from the Extended Rom folder, then install the "unbranded" ExtRom (execute the unbrand CAB file), then the last step is do the Hard reset.
please advice.
I Bought My Imate Jasjam And It Has Rom 1.21.305.240
And Radio 1.21
When Ilook For This Version I Cant Find Not Even In The Original Place Imate
Where The Hell Our Country Bring This Rom..................
Imate is selling devices with 1.21 radio on them since almost 1 month ago, but they still haven't published a NBH upgrade of this rom. I guess it will come soon...
Hi all,
just received my new replacement jasjam (ht647). These are the details of the ROM on it:
Bootloader 1.06
ROM Version: 1.31.305.2
Radio: 1.21.31.10
ExtROM: 1.31.305.104
AKU is still 2.3
The funny this is that the radio ROM is newer than all hermes ROMS but isnt available on the clubimate website for a complete download.
Still new so I wont know if there are any improvements over UMTS/GSM reception or power efficiency.

I have it flushed on my device.
From this thread i understand there nothing i can do for you guys...(dont know how i missed this thread).
pof, if your gr8 mind has somthing for me to try - shoot
We can only extract it from NBH file, not from a live device (at least I don't know how). So, until an upgrade with this radio comes out, it is not possible to have it.
Imate jasjam 1.31.305.2 ROM has been published on clubimate ftp, and radio 1.21.31.10 has been extracted from this ROM.
You can find both on XDA-Developers ftp.
