I bough my MDAc some days ago and the first I read was the bad accoustic ... but some Google searches told me that there´ll be a firmware update from T-Mobile with the Cebit2005 also having a link for the download section. Cause there was nothing to download I decided to use the firmware beeing offered here. I did the following:
1.) Downloading a actual MDAc firmware (WWE version)
2.) Downloading the country-free hacked MaUpgradeUt.exe
3.) Flashing the device
Everything worked fine but cause my device had an english (WWE) menu I decided to find out how to solv this language problem and found the thread "How to upgrade with the latest I-mate Jam ROM --GUIDE--" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=14973). I understood the process but I still wasn´t able to upgrade cause of the following reason:
1.) I downloaded the new firmeware as WWE version
2.) I went through the hacking process
3.) I tried to flash the MDAc with this firmware
RESULT: The "MaUpgradeUt.exe" told me that the firmware isn´t made for my device (country error)
So I decided to use the hacked MaUpgradeUt.exe which worked but brought me anohter problem. When I startet this file it analysed my device and (normally!) listed me the actual and the new firmware version ... but these fields left empty. When I proceeded the next window told me that I successfully flashed my device ... but the device never received any data during this one second from on to the final window.
So ... flashing with the original MaUpgradeUt.exe is impossible while trying to change the language from WWE to GER ... and the hacked MaUpgradeUt.exe has a problem flashing the device.
Does anyone has an idea how to solve this mess and/or another idea how to change the language later and/or is there a application which offers this (i.e. any mobile phone does it)?

I was in the middle of a rom upgrade with my magician and the battery has died now after trying to reupgrade with the original imate rom, it gives me a country code error. When I use get device data and view the devicedata.txt file all I get is 2 little squares where there was the operator ID. How can I reinstall the original rom from Imate and have it overwrite the operator ID on the device so I will except the upgrade. I have tried this via SD and with the original upgrade but with no luck. Help is really need please. I know this can be done I just aint sure how to go about doing it. It happen to be with my Qtek 2020 when upgrading to the 2.20 CHS version it changed from Qtek to o2.
Hi all,
yesterday, i thought it's a nice day to do the official german t-mobile 1.12 upgrade on my official german t-mobile mdac. It wasn't.
After the upgrade (no errors) the bootscreen shows:
no gsm, and only one Version number: 1.12.01 Ger
on the bottom line.
After it bootet, i get no gsm and no bluetooth working. When i connect by usb, active sync hangs for about 3-5 minutes. If i try to repeat the upgrade, i get something like wrong device, and it shows empty fields on the version screen. I tried to do the update by extracting the official update rar and start the update by MaUpgradeUT_noID.exe, but it says something like wrong device.
I tried this to the same with the 1.13 upgrade from the xda ftp, same thing. I tried a rombackup from sd-card that i found somewhere on the net, but the bootloader says wrong section=1 not allowed.
Is there anybody wo could help me to resurrect my poor little mdac?
Thanks alot,
J
Hi J.
Don't know how to solve all your problems with upgrading, but did you copy the first bytes of your own romdump to the downloaded rom? Otherwise your device won't accept it, you can find a lott about this in other threads. try searching for BigStorage and you will everything about rom upgrades.
Good luck, M
Upgrade your device with the imate rom 1.12 wwe using MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe ,it should work ,then try to upgrade to the german rom upgrade.
Good luck
ongoing revival
Ok, i tried that big storage thing, i replaced the id in the new image from my backup (broken) rom, and when trying to upgrade from sd-card, i get Section = 1 not allowed update.
I'm trying to upgrade the radio stack from the bootloader screen with MaUpgradeUT.exe, but it seems that the usb port doesn't work: for 10 minutes, the update screen stands at 0%, then an error appears:
Radio Rom Update Error.. i should reset, reconnect and retry.
Any more ideas? Is there a possiblity to do the normal "online" update (not via bootlaoder/backup-image) just from sdcard?
Please Help
J,
Last night I did a BigStorage in a very easy way. I followed the description in the thread about upgrading to radio 1.13. You'll have to unzip the shipped rom, decode nk.nbf it with dnbf. Then you replace the usual bit pattern and encode nk.nb1 again. After that you can use maupgrade with or without the noid function like a regular apgrade.
Hope it helps you, M
Hey guys,
I tried the WWE-ROM with BigStorage now, but I just want to go back to the original TMO Germany ROM, cuz I don't have big advantages of it but I lose my warranty...
Now my Problem:
Upgrading to WWE was just easy as described in the Procedure.doc on the ftp. But what do I have to do to get the original ROM back?
I saved it as a German.nb1. D I have to use ntrw write German.nb1 h: ? (h: is my sd-card-slot)
That way it doesnt work, the Bootloader doesnt even recognize the ROM. When I backup my WWE-ROM to the SD-card and the use that ntrw command from above, the ROM is recognized, but after having updated it, I can't bot anymore.
Hope anybody can help

Shipped rom?
Hi Stefan,
Seems like there's something wrong with your original rom-dump. Had it myself & it's a pain in the ***. Why not download the original German TMO shipped-rom & try it with the normal usb upgrade method?
Since your magician won't boot the software will probably tell you're upgrading from version blank, but that's no problem it will work. just put it into bootloader, connect usb & start the update program.
Success, M
seems to work, I'm just upgrading it, just had to put it in bootloader-mode again and start the update-utility from t-mobile.de...
will report if it really worked later on
Hi! you would do me a great favour by putting the rom on the ftp! i would really need it!
Please!
are you from germany or from austria?
greets
I don't need to upload it, its not even the most recent version (my original ROM was never, but I didn't find the original from TMO in a newer version :-( )
Just download it from t-mobile.de, I'm from Germany anyway...

Hi!
I asked this question first on another board, but XDA-Dev is for me the best board when it come to hard question.
So here's the problem : I think I messed up my device while trying to flash it with a french rom.
I edited the rom and swaped the headers with Hexedit from the english roms to the french roms in :
RadioFS.nbf
RadioOS.nbf
CEOS.nbf
EXTROM.nbf
But here's the problem... while flashing the device, the RadioOS is stuck at 0.1%.
If I remove the RadioOS.nbf & RadioFS.nbf from the hpRUU.ini then it flash the unit, and everything is ok except that I cannot active the Radio (cell phone), it lookup the device.
Here's what I see from the Asset Viewer:
Radio Present : Yes
Radio Firmware Version :
Radio Protocol Stack Version :
Radio Bootloader Version :
Radio File System Version :
Default Radio GDFS Version :
I've tried to reflash the device with bigrom, but no luck, it just flash CEOS.nbf & EXTROM.nbf.
Finally, if I try to flash de device from windows with the ROM12132Beta (with activesync disabled) I get an Error 514 message : device failed verification. So I hacked the rom to get it to flash (with hexedit I replaced the 3 letter language with blank space) but it get stuck at 1.0%.
So do you know if there's is a way to force the flashing of the RadioOS.nbf & RadioFS.nbf? (maybe directly from the SD card?)
Thank you very much in advance!!
Please anybody has a little idea?
Because since this is a US device and I'm in Canada I'm not covered by the warranty, so I'm really screwed. I understand this is an HP device, but it is manufactured by HTC and I'm sure that if there's a place where there's people that know well the HTC devices, it's here.
I have the same problem. I'm going to use a sd card to reflash my HW6515. Did u solve the problem?
Not really... I sent it back for repair...
Not really great because this mean I'm 2 months without my PDA

Hi!
It's the first time I'm posting here, but after some days of search, I've found a lot about upgrading / downgrading, but nothing about my problem.
I've an MDAcompact / T-Mobile PM10A / Austria and tried to upgrade to BigStorage-Rom according this thread: " Magician to 1.13 + 1.13 Radio + BigStorage ALL-IN-ONE Guide ". I've backed up my original Rom, but after the flash, there was no radio-stack at all (booting device: "no GSM" on display).
I've tried to update the radio-stack again - error message: 114 - error upgrading radio-stack, the same with 1.12 and 1.13. I've tried to downgrade the rom to 1.12 - ok, but no radio-stack. I've tried to restore the original Rom via SD-card in bootloader-mode - device says: not allowed.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance!
did u try to use an origional rom? i mean a non Bigstorage rom upgrade ? because that should fix the problem ( atleast i think it shoud)
Try Downloading the origional t-mobile1.13 rom and upgrade ur device using that install file . If i am not mistaken the first thing that is upgraded is ur radio stack then the extended rom and finally the operating sytem ( if u upgraded u would see that it does it in 3 steps).
I've tried that. As soon, as I upgraded to the original rom from T-Mobile, it stopped at the radiostack-upgrade. After that, I opened the "original".exe-file from T-Mobile with winrar and tried to upgrade again, but without the "radio.nbf"-file, what was no problem. After that, I tried to update with the "radio.nbf"-file (stand alone) again, but the "error 114"-statement came up again.
I got this error before, but only because I flashed my device with the wrong ROM.
(...I once misread "Universal" as a meaning and not as a device codename, and flashed the wrong Radio stack. Thing worked, but radio invalid, no phone capabilities. Fortunately, a reflash with the correct radio ROM found here saved me. And my $300 investment. -.-)
Either the radio part of the ROM's accidentially corrupted (download again), or the radio driver is incompatible with your device hardware. I'm not aware of Minis being avaliable in anything other than GSM tho...
I downloaded the original rom-version from the official T-Mobile website. Fact was: up/downgrade of the rom itself "ms_.nbf/nk.nbf" no problem (I've extracted the exe-file via winrar to a folder and made that several times to up/downgrade), but update of the radio-stack "radio_.nbf" not possible, ended in error 114. The point is: as soon as I start the update-utility, it shows the "Device CE Image version", "Device Extended Image Version" but no "Device Radio Image Version", it looks like no radio-stack is installed at all.
I got that exact same error through the aforementioned Universal ROM debacle (-.-). Radio failed to flash, no radio at all.
There should be a standalone radio stack somewhere in the FTP for magician. I know I saved mine with the 1.12.00 version. Try flashing with that, there's a file inside that allows you to bypass the version detection IIRC (which allows a from-scratch flash). Flashing a standalone radio stack will hard reset your system, but otherwise will not touch anything else.
