heh, i`ve researched on the loox n5x0 series (htc maria?) rom format. now we can create custom roms.
Loox n5x0 OS_xxxU.nbf header format
total 42 bytes header, the rest is not crypted os rom image (what we usually call nb0 or n_d)
4 bytes - model name (N500, N520 or N560) + 11 bytes empty (filled with 0x00) +9 bytes version (e.g. 1.22.0001) + 1 byte 0x20 (space) +3 bytes language (e.g. ENG, ITA, GER) + 2 bytes empty (0x0) +4 bytes - reversed crc32 checksum (if we have, for example, 1163FCED, then we write ED FC 63 11) + 4 bytes - size of decrypted part (reversed somehow? we have 2100000 and write 00001002) + 4 bytes - rom base flash address (seems it it 80400000, we type 00 00 04 80, don`t play with it)
all this is true for OS_yyyU.nbf ( yyy means rom version), bootloader nbf is coded otherwise, it is usually named BL_xxx_G3.nbf or bl_xxx_G4.nbf. xxx - bl version. I suppose you delete file bl_xxx_G4.nbf or bl_xxx_G3.nbf. new pda`s come with g4 flash, it will be killed with g3 update. and, anyhow, bootloader update is always dangerous and not recommended.
wait a bit - in some days i`ll post a tutorial how to extract os rom image from n500/n520 and probably n560 pda.
Any progress on this? I have a N560 and am very interested in your tutorial. Thanks.
Any news in the N560 area??
I am eager to update the software of my N560... I would like to try the new Windows mobile 6. It's pretty annoying that this really good device cannot be upgraded somehow..
Well, hope to hear something soon..
PS: By the way, you guys are great doing all this stuff
Is loox 5x0 == htc maria? Any prooves?
it's htc dresden)) i'll post aku 3.5.2 for c550/n560 this week
Man that would be awsome!!!
Nice to hear this one!!!
Waiting for the goodie

No WM6 yet, but
http://4pda.ru/forum/attach/805977/n560.Alex_DFR_.AKU.3.5.2.rar - here is the rom with aku 3.5.2 for n560
For Loox C550
http://4pda.ru/forum/attach/808633/PocketLOOXC550FlashTool.7z - here is the flasher for c550, download it, download aku3.5.2 for n560, overwrite the files from the n560 update and open OS_213u.nbf with winhex and change n560 to c550
If you have german/french/italian/spanish pda but want to use this update, edit the nbf with winhex and change ENG to FRA/GER/ITA/SPA
Be sure to remove the password (fsc secure lock) before flashing
getting my n560 ready to flashing... go-go-go!
Does not work!!!
I have a spanish N560 pda. I wanted to upgrade its rom.
I did everything as indicated:
- open pda and put it in the cradle
- connect cradle to the power and the usb to my WinXP laptop
- in my XP machine activesync (4.5 spanish version) connects and recognizes my pda
- check there is no password protection in the pda (there was none before)
- unpack n560.Alex_DFR_.AKU.3.5.2.rar and open with WinHex OS_213U.nbf; change ENG to SPA; save file
- execute PocketLOOX5xxFlashTool; in the end I get this error:
"The language in this Flash Image update () differs from that on your device (SPANISH)!"
Well, I did again and again and again... same error...
Any suggestions???
PS: I would like to put its new rom in english, if it's possible!
Thank you
Hi sp3dev,
your update is quite intersting but I have two questions before I want to flash:
1. is the ROM affected by flashing your image, if flashing fails, can the N560 hard reset to original state?
2. Is there a tool which can fetch a complete image from N560 (with ROM)?
Can you give us a short info how you cook the image?
Where do you get the HW depended drivers (e.g WLAN, display..)?
Do you have any links? I have looked a long time
to find any info about upgrade the N560 or cooking Loox images.
Thanks
SPAschreiben not so, but ESN. then is OK ONE
I have with these Romes update. All OK ONE
Stucked
Hi sp3dev and everyone,
I did the upgrade and it went fine, the only thing was that the keyboard was English, I thought there were all in the ROM, and I wanted to get back to the first ROM, so and here comes my problem, I executed
pdocwrite nk.nb0 0 0x2300000
The result of this is that it get stucked at the very first screen, Is there any way to get back? How could I upload a ROM to the N560 in this case?
Thanx
Hi,

It's not there due to a bug. Likewise the transcriber does not work and hangs the system.
I suggest waiting until they fix it and upgrade then, if it is vital for you. I will wait for two reasons: it is probably buggy yet (only two known bugs now though), and I am loath to re-install everything from scratch for the next couple of weeks
Besides, people experiment there with pool size (with some trade-off in RAM) which may yield an even faster machine.
Also if you upgrade, you must not use an old (all-)system backup. Just re-install everything single piece of software you use. Note that some software may lose its registration since you will have a *different* PPC with new (and unofficial) ROM.
... and "if it isn't broken, don't fix it" remember?
AKU 3.5.2
Hi sp3dev,
I thought that in AKU 3.5.2 WPA2 was supported. If I'm right this is supported since AKU 3.5. After upgrade I noticed it wasn't in this release. Is it a mistake? or I'm really wrong.

Last Monday, Feb 7, I spoke with Wayne Achaka at Siemens North America in San Francisco. He assured me that they have a firmware update coming out by the end of this week (that would be Feb 18) for the SX66.
He stated that it fixes the Bluetooth issues, especially with the Jabra 250, and improved the Wi-fi support, as well as some other issues which he declined to elaborate on.
Now, I AM concerned that they are going to try some trick in disabling the use of the phone as a modem when connected with a laptop...that is the purported reason Cingular took it off the website for now. I don't use it that way, but I wonder if anyone else has, and how it can be done...!!!
I will post again as soon as I see the upgrade is available.
I dont use my phone that way - but lets see what happens. better WiFi is welcomed. This week the WiFi connects to my network but has trouble maintaining the connection. Odd
What intrigues me is that Siemens says they're coming out with an update, but isn't i-Mate or HTC really the ones who come out with an update first, then all the other "manufacturers" release theirs, possibly with Extended ROM updates? Wouldn't all other manufacturers or carriers be behind or at most up-to-par with i-Mate or HTC?
Food for thought
The siemens is a PH20B1 device thus not on par with the others PH2OB.
The version 1.22, 1.31, 1.35 upgrade is a conbination of the Windows version (CE) as well as patches that have been intergrated into the version.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_ERK_131vs122
Based on a user that tried to update the CE portion (only is what I understtod) of the 1.35 NZ Telcom (a non gsm system) and failed I feel it is safe to say that the major version also adds components (such as protocol) that are not seen in other version of the same number.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=91220#91220
Thus as users all that we can realy do is cook our exteneded rom to the best know up to date postion which is why we have the kitchen.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_RomKitchen
I have found no infomation anywere that tells me what is infact in ms.ndf and we fail to have a tool that extracts that.

anyone brave enough to put on a pda2k?
Look closely at the 1.35 WWE thread... I'm that bumbling user! I tried it and thought I hosed my PDA2K entirely - it wouldn't boot past the first splash screen! Thank God I was able to access the bootloader (searched this site for some kind soul who provided the key combination: Power + Reset + Record) and reinstate the previous firmware.
So, I feel safer to give this Siemens upgrade a try on my PDA2K. I'll report back as soon as I have an update. Hopefully it'll fix my damn 05 text message issue for voicemail.
BeyondtheTech
I did, before I posted it!
If you get anywere can you do an install with a flushed rom.
Things I would like to know for the kitchen.
Camera, (is there or not) if so what does about report as version and build nr.
BT, What does about report and what do the modules report.
Protocol version
Wifi is it around.
What does windows version and build report.
Still have the q about how you did that intersting upgrade as it has been reported that the password did not work.
Beyond - I did see your post in the other thread yesterday. I'm glad, because you kept me from doing the same thing. A client has a 1.32 rom on a cdma audiovox 6600, and his bluetooth works great. (which is why I was sorely tempted!) Please let me know your findings on bluetooth and if it has wmp 10.
First country code error which was expected.
Then ran fixbat
Came up with header error
The ran for the fun of it BaUpgradeUt.exe
Came up with checksum error which was also expected.
Looks like we are all back to 1.31 Arabic with 1.06.00 FRA.
Would be nice if somebody would solve the password issues
The encryption method is definitely different. It may have been encrypted twice, or that there are two operations instead of just the XOR.
Here's what I know.
1.22's CE ROM password is 0x20040521. Looking into the HTCRUU.DLL file when you extract the self-executable upgrade utility, you can actually see all three passwords at offset 9F83h, 9F8Ah, and 9F91h. Funny thing is that the same passwords are in the RUU.DLL file of the SX66 Update.
A proper XOR decryption of 1.22 CE ROM will show the NK.NBA to have the NBF header and a near-full page of zeros. The corresponding NBF file will show the unXORed data of 21 05 04 20 21 05 04 20 .... Obviously XORing that value will bring back the zeros, as it's shown in the NBA file.
However, looking at the SX66's ROM file, the encrypted data shows 19 E8 7B B6 ... Performing an XOR will turn all those into zeros, but the header is still scrambled.
Also, the end of the SX66's encrypted ROM file, when unencrypted is supposed to be zeroes, just like the unencrypted 1.22 CE ROM file. However, at the end of the SX66's encrypted ROM file, it's 66 00 0B 20 ... Yes, XOR'ing that will result in zeros, but the start of the file is still garbage.
Anyone following me yet?
There's more to the decryption than just the XOR now.
BeyondtheTech
Now you are showing your true colors.
There is a thread on the encription that I dont have saved on this pc.
The xda3tool reports a not a valid header when run agaisnt the siemens 1.35 which could be due to a header change or a encription method. I pass on which one.
Given that you have found the password can you check it against the qtec 169 that always came up with a password error. May be a new one is also stored in the dll. DOwnload found on wiki. thread below.

If you change the those hex bytes in the DLL file, the upgrade utility will say the CE file is corrupt. So, I'm thinking it may be related, but it's only part of the algorithm.
I'm convinced there's a second mathematical operation but I don't know what it is. I haven't been able to decrypt the nk.nbf at all, and it's driving me nucking futs. I'm not a good mathematician, either. In either case, I think XDA3NBFTOOL.EXE is due for an upgrade. Who made it, anyhoo?
Anyone else notice that the latest NBF file is 44 bytes longer than the previous versions (1.22 and 1.31)?

The answer is YES. The upgrade is for the Siemens SX66 for use on Cingular's network.
It should be obvious, considering the picture of the unit and the model number and the fact that everyone including myself has been trying for the past week or so to find ways to make it work on all HTC BlueAngel GSM models, not just the SX66.
Thank you for your response, is this upgrade worthful? because, I have seen some people are saying they might disable using PocketpcPhone as wireless modem function.
Hello everyone.
I've found this site whilst i was looking for a Windows Mobile update for my Pocket PC.
First off all, i want to mention that i have a Wallaby PW10A1 ( The one in the attached picture seems is not this one, only similar ), i suppose since the seller in my country has changed the brand as it's own. It's running Windows Mobile 2002, which i don't like at all.
Do any of you guys can guide me
Where to find a ROM that'll work on my PPC? Whether WM2003 or WM5
List me what's to be done after getting ROM?
Can share other applications, if needed during this upgrade period?
Model Number: PW10A1
Processor: ARM SA1110
Speed: 206 Mhz
Current ROM: 3.20.03 ENG
Rom Date: 07/22/03
Radio Version: 3.25.00 ( What's this one? )
If there's anyone to help, i'ld be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Any help?
BTW, i've downloaded NK.nb1 too instead of rom.exe... How will i use this?
Alright, active sync didn't work.
so i had to learn and use Flash Upgrading.

It's have been released already the P535 english version... even sold on Ebay.... there's some good soul that would supply image of this ROM? so i can finally install in my chinese version?!!? thanks!
It seems ASUS has just posted it at their website... ftp://ftp.asus.com/pub/ASUS/IA/P535/V4315_WWE_MS00.rar

Hey guys,
I've just picked up a french P535 while on holiday here in France. Has anyone tried flashing the WWE ROM to a non-English phone? I'm afeared of bricking my device, but my English is much better than my française, and it would be nice to have the device in English.
I've decided to just grab my cajones and go for it.
I've installed the 4.3.0 worldwide boot ROM firmware and that was happy, then downloaded the P525 cooked ROMs to get the ASUS language unlock utility, and ran that. It reported my country code as 420c (France) and proceded to unlock the device, so all should be well. I'm downloading the Malaysian WWE 4.3.15 firmware now, and will report back with how it goes once it's on the phone.
Wish me luck!
(for some reason I'm only getting 5kb/s off ASUS' ftp server, so could be 30 mins or so...)
Ok, update...
The WWE firmware won't apply using the ASUS autoupdater. I'm able to get into the bootloader flasher by holding Power-Record-Camera and hitting reset, but it complains about not finding ROMGalaxyII.nb0.
I understand that this is the decrypted version of the ROM update, but I don't know how to get that from the WWE firmware I have. Is anyone able to help me work this out?
Thanks in advance.

No as apparently the ROM structure, however I've just found out you can flash the 535 roms using the 525 patched Autorun.exe, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284379 for details if anyone is interested in upgrading their 535.
Did you try falshing with this patched autorun?
That's what I mean yeah, I have a P535 I bought in France, I've now got a WWE ROM on it after using the patched autorun. All it does is hand the ROM to the BIOS's bootloader flash program, bypassing the region check the official one does.
Allright I will try too.
I live in france but I have all my IT in english, plus I use qwerty KB.
Thanks for the heads up, I ll report soon.
Well, I did try the update and it worked. I don t think I would have found the trick of putting a galaxy.cap with the hacked autorun the bypass the langage check without you/pntzamaras.
Now I have the qwerty kb and consistent language on my device!
I hope they release a french ROM someday so I could sell it to fund my next purchase

Sorry but could you explain all the steps you followed to reach this successful upgrade?
Sure:
1) Download the sorg p525 cooked rom in the forum thread.
2)Download the p535 ROM.
3)Extract the p535 ROM and the p525 archive
4)Replace in the 535 ROM the autorun.exe by the one in the p525 archive.
5)Put the unlocklangID.exe utility in the same dir as the autorun you just overwrited.
6)Rename GalaxyII.cap to Galaxy.cap and put another copy of galaxyII.cap in the same folder (ie: instead of having just GalaxyII.cap you have the same file twice, named GALAXY.cap and GalaxyII.cap)
7)Put the 535 rom where you replaced the autorun on the SD card.
At this point you should have on your SD card the 2577 folder with autorun and unlocklangid.exe, and in the root, GalaxyII.cap and GALAXY.cap.
8)Insert Card and run the unlocklangdID utility.
9)Run the autorun, it should say the update is ok for your device, click file-update.
10)After you reset the flash utility appears and the device begins flashing, it takes around 5 min.
PERFECT !!!
Thanks you so much !!
hi, thanks so much for posting the solution.
on a side note, how long does it usually take for the P535 to connect to a WPA-PSK AES encrypted network?
it used to be fast before i changed to the WWE interface as per the instructions, but now the phone seems to be stuck in the authentication stage and will not be assigned an IP address by the router.
although when i turned off the wireless security, i was still able to connect to my unsecured network quickly.
Hello, I know that my LOOX 720 / HTC Bali is "only" PDA , but this might be the right place to ask.
I spent some time now looking over the internet trying to find any solution to upgrade my FSC Loox 720 to WM5 (or WM6 ) but it seems there's no ROM available for this PDA. Since it is manufactured by HTC, I thought there might be way, how to upgrade it manually with customization of some other ROM for some other (P/X/M)DA.
Hence the question is: Can it be done? And then, how it can be done?
I believe there's many people around the net, who would be glad to have their 720 updated, not only me. Thanx for any suggestions or any other help..
Have you found anything yet?
Same question from me.
My 720 have a realy nice hardware, only thing I am missing is WM5 or 6.
Everything is lost when the power goes emty. :-(

Anyone please help
I have also a lot of friends who have Pocket Loox 720 and would liked to upgrade their machines into at least WM5.
Thanks in advanced
still nothing guys?
nope it seems that the 720 is way to unique in terms of hardware components - one can not simply adapt an OS image from another PDA...

Any news about this from "Masters of cooking" ?
Maybe this will ring a bell somewhere: compare tech. specs of Loox 720 and HTC Universal. Very similar. HTC Uni has built-in phone but, as far as I understood, radio module is in charge for the phone and it is not integral part of the ROM itself.
If I knew more about all this stuff, I would try to flash HTC Uni ROM to my Loox720. Or, if I find another one cheap, I will sacrifice it "for the good of the mankind"
Hmm, I think there is no chance for the Loox 7xx.. :-(

Hi!
I think we can make a rom if we use mkrom or er2003edit and swap
some files. I have installed er2003edit and the update of FuSi
but the nbf file cant open because its protected by a password.
I have written a letter to the support. After 2 days no answer.
Has some a Idea to get the password of the rom.
Hmm.. Try.
Siemens
siemens
FSC
fsc
fujitsu-siemens
uiui.. what was the internal code name of loox 720? (i forget)
I thinkl the password was the internal code name of loox 718/720
but i´m not shure, is long time ago, and there are no developers anymore within
FSC that know the password. (And after transmit FSC to Fujitsu some servers with
the answers would shut off forever...
I think one problem with WM5 is persistent storage, which is said to be not supported by Loox 718/720 hardware...
Hmm why? loox 720 has flashram (ROM) too? You should shift the memoryarea of the ROM from RAM to ROM. Some years ago we do that with the MDA/XDA series - maybe - is long time ago.. ;-)
Sorry, I should have posted the link: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/FSC_Loox#Loox_720
There it says, that FSC abandonned the WM5 update due to lack of hardware support for persistent storage.
Well, I know that the 720 has built in flash ram, but maybe it's to small to be used for both - the OS and regular storage which is now located in RAM, I don't know...
hehe, some "newer" modells like my htc shift have only 64MB FlashRAM too
It tried it again...

Is standing inside the LOOX 720

2004. ( The first and last update )..
Now I wait for a response of FuSi. I ave written them a [email protected]
( Again 3 times no response )
And mkrom deosnt run on my computer. (????)
Hmmm.
Try this google PPC spellchecker/word completion dictionaries ( thoughtsmedia )

2. mkrom
What about Neokit
I just downloaded Neokit and now i try to open Loox 720
image. It is called OSV_10009G.nbf. I hope it works.
If it works i will upload all new created files.......
i'm very interested in a rom update too!
i bought my loox long time ago and payed 500euro... now i even can't connect it to my wpa2 wlan and use it as a webcam...
very sad
Ok..
new Idea! There is a Programm called ROM extractor.
I heard that every PDA has a kernel like linux....
If i extract all rom Files of a wm6 device and put them into the directory Windows in the LOOX 720 ( with RESCO Explorer ) wm6 Programms should
work.
But i dont have a wm6 device...
Can someone extract the all wm6 rom files and upload them here pls.
Would be nice.
!!!!!!!!!!Can somebody explain me how to use MKROM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
good luck
I have wince 2003 a05 installed in my x50v. I can't see any BIS, although it say s 128M ROM in the system information. Someone said this can be solved by changing the language. But I can't find any wince 2003 ROM (nb0 files) available online. Can anyone tell me how to solve my problem and upload required ROMs? Thanks!

why bother with 2003 ( not even 2003SE ) - when you can have WM6 ??

If you don't like it ... all I can find is 2003SE here:

Thanks! Nice website, man!
To be honest, I have tried two ways two upgrade my x50v from 2k3 A05 to WM5 which is a pre-requirement for WM60:
1) use Dell's upgrade program (failed at the last step, formatting rom 30%)
2) use SD image loader with WM50 A01 Eng ROM files (failed at "erasing storage 30%)
I was just wondering if there is any hardware problem of my ROM. Maybe that's why I can't see the ROM in 2k3 A05 system.
I also tried using language change (Japanese <-> English). But it didn't work. I still can't see ROM in my system.
I even tried writing WM60 ROM directly, but also failed at "erasing storage".
Is there any software that can diagnose the ROM?
Thanks again!
who knows from all the playing around you have done that you "muddy" up your device and causes conflicts ...etc ???
I would suggest:
hard reset your device ---That should revert it back to factory settings.
and now you can start FRESH upgrade/downgrade ...etc !!!
If you decided to experiment with the link I gave ...

Attention!
If you have Windows Mobile 2003SE ROM on your device, FIRST, please download THIS ARCHIVE (RAR 32.4 MB) (Mirror),
/ and update your PDA to A01 Windows Mobile 5 ROM.
/ After that, go to Dell site, download official WM5 A02 ROM and update your PDA to WM5 A02 ROM.""
It's a used x50v. I got it a couple weeks ago.
As I mentioned, I can't upgrade to WM5. Leave WM6 alone. Thank you though.
