Tmobile MDA compact problem

Hi
I got a problem i tried to update a rom to my MDA compact but the device lost power. Now its does nothing anymore, i just goes on boot mode and says USB and at the bottom v1.0
Does anybody know how i can make it work agian. If have searched on the net a lot but i cant seem to find a solution and my mda is down for a month now
Tnx
Greetzz Mark

:roll: if it still has the bootloader it should be possible :roll:
:roll: get the MAupgradeUT_noID.exe (from ftp)
:arrow: take a shipped rom you wish to flash (unpack the exe with winrar )
rename MAupgradeUT_noID.exe >to< MAupgradeUT.exe
copy it into folder with extracted rom replace original one
and run the update through serial/usb cable
good luck

Okey i'm kind of a leek but i cant seem to figure out how to get on the ftp
i got cuteftp but how do i log in??

ftp://[email protected]/Uploads/Magician/
username :xda
password: xda
and browse the ftp for the files you want
good luck again

Okey this is getting better and better. I now have managed to put on a qtek s100 rom but the device reconize its an illigal rom and now it all it does is switches on and off by it self !! :evil: what can i do about it!

Unplug any USB devices you do not need. Specially printers etc. I have had some problems in the past doing upgrades that were always solved with less USB devices connected.

Up!

You need to try a different rom and make sure only the phone is plugged into the usb slot.

Yeah but because it keeps on switching on and off i cant get it connected so i cant upload a new rom! can't i just somehow Format my mda?

run the update file again and avoid to touch anything else it should be ok even if you have to run the update rom file more than once

:wink: mark just do the following to get the bootloader :lol:
press the Camera and the power buttons Reset with stylus while holding buttons will drop you in bootloader screen
then flash your device with another rom (the one in the modded section 1.11 noid one was a good one for me first time )

Okey i got it back in the boot menu. 8) but now i cant get on the Upload link you gave me its just empty. where can i download the rom you told me about?

this one worked for me first time
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/Modified_ROMs/WWE_111.132_NoIDmod.zip
its an Imate rom but it works
again good luck

Hey everything worked out this time it all seems to work !
tnx!! :lol:

I can't get on this ftp-server
I can't get on this ftp-server.
Where als can I get this image for the mda compact??
Please help

you should be able to get on the server. but in germany Tmobile already gave out an update themself , so look on the Deutsch tmobile site you can download it there.

Wiro i got an other question for you. I see you have the Dutch tmobile as well, Is there any i can get my GPRS to work on the tmobile network?
thank in advance

mda compact
I thought this would be Linux for mda compact! Why would t-mobile distribute this?

No it is a normal update for the mda compact. it should work properly

First, you must connect to desktop using ActiveSync, than start Maupgradeut-noID.

Hi,
Maybe I was not explain my problem clearly.
With this picture maybe it makes it more claerly.
After I run MaupgradeUt-NoID I get this screen which it's shown
nothing about which rom version.
And then when I do the upgrade button I get the screen with
"waith untill... and do not disconnect..." this screen stays.
Please somebody help me, I am desperatly.
Thnx,

Hi.
The same happens to me with my new MDA compact II.
I think it is something to with the windows mobile 2005. you will be aware that this device is different from the classic Magician.
Tell me if this is your problem as well.

Hi MKHAIRYM,
My device has not windows mobile 5.
It was working with the windows CE 2003

when i connect it to pc, windows does recognise and install my device but ActiveSync doesnt connect.
i tried removing the battery then putting it back in then pressing and holding the conn. button along with the power button and i DO get to the bootloader screen (with three colors) and then when i plug in the usb i get a small 'usb' word at the bottom of the screen, but still, ActiveSync doesnt connect... i tried installing the update again... but the program doesnt find my device

Same problem!
I had same problem but in my case with downgrade from WM6 to ASERG rom, i have downloaded RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID.exe and that fixed my problem.

I've upgraded my Magican with other model ROM

Good Day!
i made a very stupid mistake. i tried to update my Magician with Wizzard ROM.
The process went good, all the steps had been done perfectly, but my MDA crashed totally. The only think, that's happening when i'm pressing on/off button is a once instant flash of display.
I know, that's is too naive from my side to think that there is any hope, but anyway: is there any way how to solve this problem?

WOW !
I hope there is a way to fix your Magician.

can you enter bootloader?
Press Camera and Power key. Hold. Do reset via stylus.
You should see USB/Serial and 1.0X. (Screen is dark, frontlight is off)

I made mistake on my magician (mda compact). I tried to update my Magician with HTC UNIVERSAL ROM.

G 1337.42
D 1.13.01 GER.
Please help me.

you can download a rom (cotulla's great!!) and flash it...
good luck!

if you can go to USB/Serial v 1.02
i think ,you can download a new rom and flash it ....
good luck

Monostereo,
Do a search in this forum (magician upgrading) and you will see how to unbrick your machine. There is no easy way though.
A lot of users reported that and there were a lot of bricked machines due to this rom.
Ameer.ba,
Your problem is a lot easier. Just flash with any rom.
My choice:
1st Cotulla's 3.03
2nd Cotulla's 3.02
3rd Cotulla's 3.01
4th tx 2.03
5th Original rom from your phone
