congratulations .... !!

very great work!  congratulations!!!

No, it is more complex. Just changing one file of the ROM could be a problem.
But thanks to devictoria we can take some risk to do something, because we expect to be able to get back and reflash with the original rom.
Concerning the original rom, you have two way to have it : you can have it in your extended rom as a file diskimage.nb0, or you can grab it using the grab_it tool, and cut it based on what we have already written in another thread.
But except if you understand what I say, or if you have a good backround in IT, OS, firmware, let other people do the job for you. We will do it.
Concerning WM6, we need much more. The Flame is the first one device of Arima, with new components like the Goforce, and a lot hardware not often available or that could be specific for this device: tvout, usb host, camera, wifi, bluetooth, sd, and so on. And we have to make that all these piece of silicon will continue to work in the WM6 version. We could have some chance if Arima deliver to Imate the 6160 and the 8150 that would be with WM6, because we can expect that most of the components would be the same, so we could use the ROM of these devices to create a WM6 rom for the Flame.
Another help could come from MWG, if they start to sale a Flame2 with WM6.

Does DISKIMAGE.NB0 includes also the Extended ROM image or separated?

@Thierry

Asked the above question because just lazy to try extraction. Maybe I should try to extract your DISKIMAGE.NB0 and take a look.

I do not have DISKIMAGE.NB0 in my extended rom like yours.

Although you have sent me your DISKIMAGE.NB0, I would still like to have my own DISKIMAGE.NB0. Till today I have still not got it right by using Grab_It.exe, it just hang forever in the middle of grabbing. Left a message on XDA-Dev regarding this Grab_It.exe, but nobody answers.

Can you provide the step by step instruction of how to use it?

The method provided by Arima and discovered by devictoria is secure. I have flashed a wrong diskimage.nb0 and obviously my Flame was bricked during 10 min. Just the time to put the good diskimage.nb0 in the sdcard, and restart flashing.

So there is no risk to try a new diskimage.nb0 if you have a card with the good files.

So that means also that the boot do not control the validity of the diskimage.

I have even with a binary editor modify a little bit the diskimage.nb0, then flash again my flame with it.

And guess what, I am writing this post with my new rom. That means also that we have an highway opened now.

We can take all the risks, we can try what we want.

Thanks again devictoria.

The flash sequence takes 10 min: 1 min to copy the diskimage.nb0 from SD to memory, then 4.5 min to erase the flash memory, then 4 min to copy from memory to flash.

I want to remind you:
- to do a backup before flashing
- to never have on the card or memory the eboot.nb0

I am using 2GB cards from A-DATA. I have succeeded more times to flash the diskimage.nb0 (also that one uploaded by Nexus_Flame on 4pda.ru forum). Unfortunately I do not know what is the reason of their problem (or his, because only one of them seems to have tried).

So that means probably that could depend the way the card is formated. How we can get this information precisely ?
So I ask you question but sure you will say yes : have you created the 1xdtgklo.kez file and put it in your card ?

Please send me.uni-tech246@vnn.vn
diskimage.nb0
1xdtgklo.kez

People at 4pda.ru think that I am devictoria. I can assure this in not the case.

They think that because they do not succeed to reproduce flashing the Rom. Probably they do not succeed because their card is not recognized after a soft reset. It was the case for me until I buy a Kingston one.

Not people at 4pda.ru... It was just my opinion. I was wrong, sorry. I thought so because after the first post about successful flashing there were no news for a long time. Excuse me.

It is true, it works.
You MUST format the card with FAT 16.
I used pocket mechanic to format the card (FAT16 and Cluster size 32K) and I managed to make it work.

Ah! Before making "logical format" I have done "low level format," both with "pocket mechanic"

On XDA-developers you attached your  1xdtgklo.kez in zip format.
But here devistoria says "1xdtgklo.kez - a file named "1xdtgklo.kez", serving as a password. It may be an EMPTY file."
And your file is not empty, there is one SPACE in it and its size is 1 byte.

devistoria says "It may be an EMPTY file."
devistoria not says "It must be an EMPTY file."

I am trying to update my ROM with the latest one posted: R2A_32_WWE-070622-601_diskimage.nb0

I placed the following two files on an empty 2gb sd card (ScanDisk brand)

diskimage.nb0 (64,000 KB)
1xdtgklo.kez    (0 KB)

I follow the instructions posted by devictoria very carefully. 

I try 3 times - each time it just did normal Hard Reset. But  "A screen entitled OS Updating (SD) should appear:"  did not happen.  Instead I got the warning message about resetting with the normal Yes / No options - I press YES - this give the usual O2 welcome screen and then go through the usual hard set routine to aliegn screen etc. Can you please tell me what I might be doing wrong?  I check to see if my SD card is readable - File explorer shows the files on my card. Is it possible that although the card is readable with the WM5 OS it is not accessible for upgrading my ROM? I know some people got problens with ScanDisk.  Any help would be much appreciated.  Thank you.
