GENERAL COUNTRY ID ERROR WORKAROUND: IT WORKS ALL DEVICES!!! - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading

Hi,
I read somewhere in this forum the following procedure:
extract the Upgrade.exe file (use WinRAR)
edit the RUU.conf file
Add the following line
[CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1
Save changes
Now run BaUpgradeUt.exe
It will say that it will upgrade to this version.
However when the device enters bootloader mode the upgrade util gives a country error. (Don't panic)
Simply restart BaUpgradeUt.exe while the device is still in it's cradle.
Now it will install without a country error.
TESTED ON QTEK9090 AND IMATE JAM: ALWAYS WORKED !!!
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
bye

Good suggestion, unfortunately it won't work with the 1.11 Finnish ROM.

Do you know how to flash a 1.11 Finisch rom? Or maybe someone else?

ok what i do to upgrade and works good for me..... i use this file MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and then follow the steps which italos stated but without editing the RUU.conf file.... so use the mentioned file and follow these steps:
""extract the Upgrade.exe file (use WinRAR)
Now run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
It will say that it will upgrade to this version.
However when the device enters bootloader mode the upgrade util gives a country error. (Don't panic)
while it's in the bootloader mode (black screen with some writing in it" Serial v1. or whatever")
Simply run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe while the device is still in it's USB cable.
Now it will install without a country error."
and it works in the finnish ROM cuz my device is Imate Jam and i just flashed it this morning with the above steps........
best luck

where i find the file MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
where can i download it
i look at the forum but can't find it plz help

this solution works with any version!!
the clue is that if the device information is erased, it cannot compare.

I have a hand-me-down Xda II mini, which according to the printing on the case was originally issued by O2, but which currently has the following Dutch Qtek ROM installed on it:
ROM version: 1.13.00 WWE
ROM date: 08/18/05
Radio version: 1.13.00
Protocol version: 1337.43
ExtROM version: 1.12.550 WWE
I'm trying to "upgrade" to the latest O2 ROM version:
ROM: 1.11.00 WWE
Radio: 1.11.00
ExtROM: 1.11.922 WWE
MMS: 2.0.0.22
I've followed the instructions from Italos to the letter (twice), but still keep getting the same Country ID error.
Any suggestions on why this is, and more importantly, on how to fix this?
Thanks,
Daniel

GetDeviceData output from a S100 wanted

Dear fellows,
I am still at a dead point (my S100 is screwed and the OS is gone!)
I have seen several methods listed here to reflash the OS but most of them require the GetDeviceData output file to modify the original ROMs. Unfortunately I can't run anything on my PDA... It would be a great help if a kind S100 owner would run the GetDeviceData on his handset and post the output file for me. Do not worry, it doesn't hold any sensitive data. Just device model details. Any S100 device, any language... would suffice.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Silver.
...at least the Operator for QTEK...
C'mon guys... help me.
Here ya go...
Operator ID: DANGA001
Qtek S100 bought at Dangaard Norway.
Thanks...
...but it doesn't seem to work. Maybe an Italian PDA would be required.
I am afraid I have to send the PDA back to the service...
Maybe you can try the following:
- Set your Qtek in Bootloader mode
- Connect it to your pc
- Start the update program of the Qtek ROM 1.06
- The installer will not find any version of your current ROM because it is in bootloader mode, but it will allow to update it
- flashing...
- done
Hopefully it'll work for you.
And I will test it further, but this looks like the way to update the ROM without editing the ROM files...
The other alternative that worked for me:
I have a Dopod 818 ROM which I screwed up. I can't therefore read its country code with GetDeviceData.
I used the following to flash the i-mate ROM:
http://www.clubimate.com/Support/ma_cdlsku1_wwe_10300_143_10100_ship.exe
Then I upgraded with qtek 1.06 successfully.

Orange SPVm500 upgrade drama!

Lately I tried to upgrade my orange spv m500 to the newest rom upgrade available; One was made available by orange on the dutch site www.pocketpcclub.nl.
As I was installing the file the setup proces stopped while trying to upgrade the extended rom.
I tried and tried again, but to no afail. In my dispair i tried to upgrade with a spanish q-tek 1.11 rom. I ofcourse got the country code error and the wrong device id error......
I brought my spv m500 back to the shop; but the technicians couldnt replace the original extended rom.
So now im left with a spv without extended ROM.....
My device settings now are
Radio version: 1.12.00
Protocol version: 1337.42
Rom version: 1.12.00 WWE
ExtroM version: (empty field)
I still cant upgrade to the latest Extrom version............
Can anyone help me? Is it still possible to put back a working Ext rom?
Is it a UK M500?
Did you back the original rom up before upgrading?
Have you looked on the ftp site for the original m500 rom?
original Orange dutch Extended ROm version needed?
It's a NL rom(dutch) but I believe it has pretty much the same settings as the UK Version(few exceptions for GPRS settings I believe)
I havent found a original SPV M500 rom that comes with dutch settings.....So I would be very thankfull if somebody could upload such a version to the xda-ftp site.......
Hello,
In the upload directory is the new rom for the SPV M500 Dutch. It is the real Dutch version. After you flash your Magician it has all the settings voor Orange NL even the location is already pre selected.
It's a modified rom for the Imate- Jam, modified by Orange.
If you use the Maupgrade_NoID.exe it will falsh every magician I guess.
It works on my MDA Comapact (PM10A).
And in case that doesn't work, I have the Extended_ROM directory (Dutch) on my pc, so if you want I can send it to you.
(Though I don't think I'll be checking this forum too often, so send an email to draexin AT gmail DOT com)
Good luck ^_^

fragged my mda_c with official update

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

2.03 TX WWE to Win Mobile 6.1

I want to upgrade my good old Magician from ROM 2.03 TX WWE to the new Windows Mobile 6.1. But it doesn´t work. Tried also to downgrade to 1.13 ROM (with no extended ROM) but had no success. Has anybody any idea what can i do to get 6.1 to work on the Magician? That would be great !!!
Thanks for your interest and i hope someone has a solution for me!
greetings from Germany
Hubie53
I have the same Problem. But it's not just that I can't upgrade to 6.1... I can't do anything. I tried to get different Roms on my Magician. The original Rom too...but nothing works. All that since I tried the 2.03TX Rom... The 2.03TX is working nice at the moment but I would prefer the original one or WM6.1 Please help!!!
I had no problem switching between tx and 6.1 - both directions.
The only thing I had to be aware of is the radio version. 2.03tx doesn't install it's own radio and last cotulla rom requires radio 1.12.
my O2 mini can't upgrade any WM6.1 ROM. It's 64MB RAM and 64MB flash.

Check following 3 points:
1. Make sure your device is a "Magician"
2. Make sure the downloaded ROM is one of Cotullas WM6.1 (O1 , O2 or O3)
3. Befor flashing make sure the Radio on the Magician is version 1.12
Yes, it is a Magician, the ROM is Cotulla´s 6.1 Beta 7 (03), and my Radio is 1.12. But my PC says no USB! A problem with Vista, perhaps?
Flashing the Magician on a Vista PC does not work, this is a very old stuff.
Use a PC with XP-Pro and everything will be fine.

Maybe you have a problem with your PC, maybe you are doing wrong, or maybe your Magician is corrupted.
I don't know much about the bootloader, guess it is on his own chip and not changeable at this time, otherwhise it could be a part of the rom but i have never seen a Magician bootloader-file for itselfs.
