Is there anyway to upgrade my Dopod 818 (htc magician) using MTTY? I have tried using MaUpgradeUt.exe along with change.bat etc, but I ended up "upgrading" the device with a mixture of chinese and english files, and now the country, device, and operator IDs are scrambled on the device ROM itself. I cannot use MaUpgradeUt.exe because I no longer know what the country, device and operator IDs are and I cannot run GetDeviceData.exe because the device itself is stuck on the USB/Serial screen. I also tried reverting back to my previous working ROM by flashing from the SD card (using MTTY), but I get the error "Section 1: not allow update"
My device is completely unusable right now and I am really hoping there is some way to restore its ROM without sending it back to the manufacturer. My guess is that I somehow need dump the original ROM back onto the device using MTTY, but the only command I know is "d2s" which backs up the current device ROM to an SD card. I'd really appreciate your help! Please email me or post to this forum, thank you!
UPDATE: device fixed using MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
what a great tool -- fixed the dead device
it is no longer a $600 doorstop

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)?
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

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
Hi,
I have a M2000 which started to up the Orange NL ExtRom version 1.40.230. When I ran the app it went into bootloader mode (USB/v2.07)but BaUpgradeUT reports Error 101 and Exits.
Sooo, I downloaded the original shipping ROM and tried with that - same result, then tried using MaUpgradeUt_noID in the same folder as the original ROM - as it ignores the information that is reported back (apparently none in my case). It tells me on the next screen that it is upgrading from <blank> to <blank> - worrying. Click Upgrade and I get Error 150: ROM Upgrade Utility Error. Try to do the same with the 1.40 ROM by locating the temporary files for the .exe and running MaUpgradeUt_noID from there - same error.
It's now stuck in bootloader mode...I didn't put anything on to this before, so I can't see how the operator code would be overwritten.
Much as the M2000 works as a desk paperweight, I'd rather find a way of pushing a viable image onto it and getting it back working. Any suggestions as I am running a C500 as a replacement and going nuts with it's lack of, well, anything...
TIA
P.S. Even another ROM that will load onto it would be useful, so that I can get it back into a state where I can mess around with it again...
do you have a firewall and antivirus installed?
if i would disable them then try flashing again, I got my c500 stuck in bootloader mode after trying to sim unlock it with firewall and antivirus running
disabled them and re-ran the sim unlock and it worked, so hopfully it is the same problem as you are getting with the rom
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
