Hi guys,
I have had my XDA IIs for a few weeks now and I have been reading up on how to upgrade it to 1.40 with the latest 1.13 radio. I would appreciate if I could just describe the steps I am going to take to upgrade it and see if anyone can tell me if I have misunderstood some of the wiki/ forum instructions.
My current version is (from DeviceDate.txt) PH20B 0 B WWE E O2___001 1.31.00 0 0 1.31.139 1.06.00 06.00.
1. I have downloaded from the wiki (ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/BlueAngel/Shipped_Complete_Updates/BA_WWE_14000_147_11200_Ship/Extracted_Type_I_CE_Rom/nk.nbf) From what I understand, a Type I file is one that can be edited with xda3nbftool.exe- is this correct?
2. I have also downloaded the 1.13 radio ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=23807&highlight= . I understand this is also a type I file as mdaIIIuser converted it.
3. Using the Type I upgrade tools, I use the instructions from the wiki getting started (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_GettingStarted) and edit editfix.bat for my Operator ID etc.
4. At this stage I am not upgrading my Extended ROM with anything, so I am not putting any ms_.nbf into my upgrade directory. I am not upgrading my ext rom like this as we cannot edit ms_.nbf for Blue Angel (which is a pig as I am used to my Himalaya!!!!!)
5. I run editfix.bat from command prompt which hopefully will convert my rom and radio files to O2 UK.
6. Now that my files are converted I run BAUpgrade_UT.exe (from what I understand I dont need the MA_upgradeUT.exe since my headers should all be correct) If this doesn't work due to country code error etc, I use the cracked MAUpgrade_UT files and try again (twice).
7. My radio and ROM shoudl now be 1.13 and 1.40 WWE respectively.
8. My extended ROM is still 1.31 though so I unlock and unhide it and remove all files (except for my O2 UK customization cabs for GPRS etc) and replace them with the 1.40 Base. At this stage I get a little confused, from what I gather, i need to pick one of the QTEK base roms. Which one would be the best to add my O2 stuff to? I was thinkng that I-Mate Qtek 1.40.147 WWE (as it uses the config.txt method, which I am used to!) I copy these files into my extended ROM, upadate the config.txt to include my O2 UK and other customizations and then I do a hard reset. And there you go, job done, I hope!
Please, if anyone who has done this before with Blue Angel could check over my steps to see if I have done anything particularly foolish. I am so used to all hte tools used to customise my Himalaya so it is just a case of getting used to a new way of doing things.
Thanks for any help in advance!
