Thanks to amirmw and malloth for his clear instructions.

You're welcome guys ...
i would be glad to do something for improving all secrets of FLAME ...

i have called MWG technical support several times but i don't know why they don't answer the phone ...
this is their phone number in Singapore : + 65 64119966 and they work from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm

if it is possible for you call them and ask them what was happened to WM6 or Better WM5 ROM for O2 xda Flame ... or something like that
the phone is more affective than email and show them your irritation about their inactivity
Regards

Just wanted to let you guys know, have tried the above RUU and got the message "Cannot create source file" then followed by "have no file" before the program terminated. I have risked adding the eboot.nb0 which also had the same result.

Since my unit is a prototype, I cannot say that the results will be the same with regular retail units.

Well, after some research I have discovered that there is one more file called: '2007032801.dbd'.
It seems to contain the names of ROM and extROM elements + something more at the end.

Yet, it's written in a strange format, and I'm still looking for a way to clearly edit this file.

An error of "Cannot create source file" ocurs due to lack of sth (diassembling shows a division by zero error)
that should be in a RUU folder, and is written in .dbd file.

I'd appreciate some help on this .

@ malloth

"In a Cabversion.txt there should be a version of Your extended ROM."

"In Meimeilist.txt there should be files that You want to install in Your extROM.
These files should also be inside RUU folder."

How is it looks like? how to write the text format?

If i dont want to update the ext-rom, can i just put the diskimage and eboot inside? does it erase all my previous ext-rom in the flame if i dont put any ext-rom file inside folder for updating? I just want to update my rom version... not the ext. rom.... is it possible? thanks!!

Hey guys, continue to use the old method to upgrade your Flame's Rom. It will be more secured because you do not change at the same time other parts: the eboot.nb0 and the extended rom.

Just for added information which might help.

In my experience with the installer wizard from amirmw' is that whenever it extracts during the installation. It has an unpredicatable extraction meaning sometimes it does not extract the files correctly to the temporary folder have experienced that it has extracted the diskimage.nb0 at only 6MB, sometimes it's 20MB and 64MB.

Another experience is that with the installer all my attempts to flash the diskimage always fail.

I have contacted an O2 repair representative office here in my country and they told me that different country has different codings (within the unit) and different installer programs which limits each service representative from repairing units bought from another country. I am not very sure from what country my unit originated from what I only know is that whenever I connect the unit for the first time to any USB port, the unit name detected is "unknown portable devise (prototype)"

Since this RUU is from this installer I am speculating that it could be from one of these reasons why it does not run on the unit I'm using.

However, I have already tried using devictoria's flashing method (but for my unit instead of pressing both the "---" buttons under the screen, I have to use the "call" and the "end call" buttons) is with this installer's diskimage.nb0 file and the update works.

I have also tried updating the ROM by using devictoria's diskimage.nb0 (still using devictoria's flashing method, the RUU and the installer still does not work at this point for me) while retaining amirmw's extrom files the flash went well but there are some icons in the settings went missing. My guess is that the files in the extrom are not compatible with the new diskimage.nb0. Haven't tested it further than that, have reflashed amirmw's diskimage.nb0 back to my unit for now.

@Steele thanks for the info. I'm glad someone took interest of this method.

Look here for some more information.

can i just upgrade my rom? the extended rom not?
or it must be upgrade the both??

@malloth

you mentioned that the ext rom files need to be in the folder and in meimeilist.txt.

What about the subdirectories and files inside subdirectories of the ext rom?

If I do not do this, does that mean that my ext rom will be cleaned up in the progress or it will stay intact?

Say if it is cleaned up, can I still copy the backup copy back into the ext rom and it will be there even after hard reset?

What is "diskimage.nb0, format_vol2.exe, CabVersion.Txt," in meimeilist.txt for?

In Updatesource.txt, what is,

;Eboot,OS
