How to extract Stock ROM from My Compact IV

[shahin156]

Hi all,

I am a new member on the forums and must say, thay have taught me a lot!

I have a T-Mobile MDA Compact IV running on stock ROM, radio and protocol.

I would like to ask you haow to extract these from my phone so that if i decide to install a custom rom and Hard SPL and then want to go back to the originals, (for warranty purposes) i can do so.

If anyone could kindly tell me how to do it. I will try and upload them to the forums so that other users can benefit from them if needed.

I have searched the forums for ages but can't find what i'm looking for. If there is anything i've missed, please direct me in the right direction :D

Many Thanks.


MDA Compact IV
ROM version: 1.37.110.3 WWE
ROM date: 20/06/08
Radio version: 1.00.25.03
Protocol version: 52.26a.25.09u

See this thread for original tmobile compact IV rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406327

I have been through most of the popular 1.93 roms and must say that with some good tweaking and radio .05 the original Tmobile rom performs fine and after all these dark themes, the t-mobile interface has actually grown on me.

I am now running with the above rom which have flashed back countless times. Not sure why this rom is not listed in wiki or mentioned on the other rom lists in this forum.

Use Olipro's NBH utility to extract the OS nb. (reports:
DIAM20000
T-MOB005
1.37.110.3)

Hi,

Thanks for the info, but what app(s) should i use to do some "good tweaking" and where do i get the .05 radio?

I have exactly the same phone as you

I know i can use the TF3D app to change themes so if the rom and radio etc work fine i can just swith between the themes later.

If you could help, it would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

p.s. how do i use the rom from the link? It's an exe file.

Apps for tweaking: Diamond Tweak (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409540) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409540))and Advance Config (http://www.touchxperience.com/en/advanced-configuration-tool.html)

Radio can be found here: http://www.duttythroy.net/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&Itemid=53&task=viewcategory&catid=5

Have fun ;)

Edit: the exe file can be unpacked with winrar ...

Thank you so much for the help guys. I never knew that there were nice ppl out there willing to give a helping hand to a "noob" :D

just a quick question. Does it matter which radio i use in my phone or should i just use the latest one?:confused:

Thanks :)

Okie dokie. i have been on "http://modmydiamond.info/" before, just forgot that it has a mention of which radio was the most recommended. Thanks for the reminder mdajansen

I've downloaded the original tmobile compact IV rom and have seen that it is for a HTC Victor/Diamond. Is that still ok for my Compact IV? and will it bring my phone back to the original tmobile branding?

Thanks.

[mdajansen]

Yes, this will reset your Compact IV back to the original tmobile shipped rom including all the original branding etc.
I have done this multiple times (extracted os.nb and rebuild just an os.nbh), used hardspl 1.37 (developer edition)

[shahin156]

ok then, thanks for that.
