Best regards,,,

nice work thanx alot

ehh
is this a full rom? can i install it on my t-mobile ? and would it completly update my mda compact?
:shock:

Can some body get the password for the ROM files...

Hmmm…. Had no success yet getting out password to open Ms.nbf. But I found that we can upgrade Radio.nbf. So extract jam ROM to a folder delete Ms.nbf and NK.nbf and start Himaupdate.exe . The process of radio upgrade will appear. Anyway I installed the jam rom thru SD earlier. So finally I have radio updated. Lets wait until the password unlock, than it will be like before!

NM8Magician

Good day
I have a 10 day old imate new jam (NM8 Magician). I want to upgrade just my Radio version to 1.13 (hoping to rectify my problem)due to a crap gsm signals as this is a replacement to a same model which i thought was faulty, but when i got the replacement, im stuck with the same problems ( poor gsm signal and crap camera). As i search the Magician forums, the more i read, the more i get confused. I have been to the wiki side of the forum as well as the main forums.
Can someone please enlighten me, or just put me in the right direction where to download Radio version 1.13, and some instructions.
Details of my imate jam are:
PM10A
Rom Version 1.12.00WWE
Rom Date May 28, 2005
Radio Version 1.12.10
Protocol Version 1337.42
ExtRom Version 1.12.171WWE
Thank you very much!!!!

The story to upgrade to radio 1.13 can be found in this thread: 'Upg to 1.13 WWE ROM (with 1.13 Radio) in 10 easy steps!' @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...&start=0&sid=75c5e40168a22052fb7c5554bddd68c2
Cheers, M

nm8,
You can try my much easier post, I have pasted a few previous posts to save time so it might not flow. Go to this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=27537&highlight=
to get the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe file you will need and follow my instructions. It really is not to hard. I hed never done any of this before so if I could do it any one can.
Make sure when you view that link you are logged on or you will not see the download for the MaUpgradeUt.exe file. Once you have downloaded, winrar the iMate rom to open or seperate the files, there should be 7 or 8 files. You will see the MaUpgradeUt.exe file that comes with the iMate rom in those 7 or 8 files. Delete that MaUpgradeUt.exe file and replace it with the MaUpgradeUt.exe you downloaded from the link. Now click on the MaUpgradeUt.exe rom, it will do its thing. It may still give you wrong country code, dont sweat it, just re click on the MaUpgradeUt.exe file and start again. It will only give you wrong country code once, maybe twice but keep re starting, it will work. Enjoy
Ps because this was for a previous post remember to replace any instructions of "imate rom" with Radio13

hi
thanks to both of you for the quick reply. i have downloaded the files.
now before i begin, when i unzipped MagicianRadio_1[1].13.00_maupgrade, there is a file named "HTCRUU.dll". some threads say i nedd to rename it to "RUU.dll" only, secondly, when i connect my jam to pc, doi have to untick USB?
thank you once again

No need to untick usb, the upgrade needs the usb connection to check the country id & it will put your device in bootloader with the transfer to & execution of the file enterbl.exe on your magician.
don't know about the ruu dll. when you got enough Bandwith download a Complete shipped rom from the ftp & extract all the files from it, or view them with winzip to see the correct file name.
cheers, M

hi oltp,
yes i had to rename HTCRUU.dll to RUU.dll, the upgrade process didnt run before i renamed it.
evrything is fine now.... ill be testing hte fone and posting any difference it made to my gsm reception in due time.
cheers

thought of updating this post for the sake of other newbies like me looking for answers. i have not encountered any problems so far after updating to radio 1.13...
thanks to imapfsr and oltp for their lightning fast replies to my questions, a million times better than clubimate support!

My pleasure,
I appreciated everyones help on this site so I do what I can when its my turn!!!!

Need original ROM-Image for MDA Compact 2

I've tried another rom image for my mda compact 2 and now my mdac2 does'nt start any more.
I have tried several rom-images (for compact, atom, ewtc..), but I can install no one .
On the T-Mobile Homepage there is no Image for the MDAc 2.
Can anyone help me ?

I only come to the bootloder screen (red - green - blue).
I need a rom-image, that i can start from the bootloader.
thx

Try this link from TMO UK http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/download_manager_mda_com2.html
Success, M

I've already tried this, and it starts updating but then comes the message :
ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID
THis Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone.....
Maybe I have to unlock the CID first ?
But can I unlock the CID with the aWizard, when the Comp.2 is in the Bootloader mode (red-gree-blue) ?

Ouch,
Yes the cid-unlock will be needed :-( Can't you fix the RUU.conf or something simular with a first line like checkid=1 ? I've read about it on the board & seems to work for magician. & there's some tool like MaUpgradeUT_noid for the wizard too, but I don't remember whether that is awizard :-(
You're almost of to the shop isn't it.
BTW when you unzip the shipped-rom, do you get all kinds of nbf files. & Do they all start with the same word when you open them in hexeditor? I use nbfdec to decode them to a 'normal' file which can be edited, then you could be able to fix the header of the nb1 encode it again & try to update your device.
& have you tried some of these tools ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/DumpROM/

In the unzipped folder is no file like RUU.conf.
Only RUU.dll and RUUREsource.dll
There are following files in the folder
EnterBootloader.exe
nk.nbf
README.doc
ROMUpdateUtility.xex
RUUGetInfoi.exe
RUUResource.dll
RUU.dll
And I've downloaded " nbfdec " , but I can not start this program.
I think i have to reboot my computer.

un zip all the files from the t-mobile package
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/Wizard_RomUpgradeUtility_noID.rar
download this and unrar and overwrite in the same folder.
connect up the phone in bootloader to pc and run the ..._NoID.exe
as theres no activesync connection it will pause for a bit on the checking existing rom but still let you carry on
ignore the picture of the wizard, just make sure your installing the right nk.nbf for the compact 2

I've exactly done what you said, the update ended with 100 % and now the device starts until the bootloader-screen (red-green-blue).
Have I done something wrong ?
What has happened ?

That's the one I was referring to, thanks.
Bundy did you reset afterwards?
M

Yes, I did a Hardreset, a Softreset , but I only get to the picture with the 3 colors.
IPL 1.12
SPL 2.15

I'm terribly sorry, but we've ran out of my knowlegde of the MDA Compact II. So besides the usual question: have you ran the update a second time, for me this would be warranty issue.
Hope Dave is worth more.
Good luck, M

Yes , I have done the update a second time, but with the same effect - the device only starts in the three-color-screen.
So I think I can do nothing more ....

:-(

How do I revert back to my old Rom

I have upgraded my 1.12.00 rom to 1.13.00 on my MDA and failed miserably to change the language to English so I have decided to try to revert back to my old rom. It is currently in a file on my desktop. Can some clever helpful person explain in laymans terms how I do this please. At the moment the file contains 18 rar files and 5 others.
Thanks

Well I don't quite understand how you can have a ROM file that contains RAR files... but nonetheless, if you have a ROM along the lines of name.nb1 then use the first part of ampda's guide, steps 7 and 8 to transfer that ROM to an SD and then flash it to the Magician.

Sorry but I'm quite new to this. The file I'm talking about was copied as extended Rom, is this not the same. If not then maybe I have got problems. The disc with the old rom that came with the MDA will not install because of the language error and I dont know how if possible at all to unpack it to get to the manupgradeUt_noID unlike the 1.13.00 rom which was a rar file that I knew how to unpack.
Am I salvageable.
Thanks for your help so far.

I need a little clarity for the upgrade/downgrade process

Hi,
I have been on this site for about a week now. I was drawn here by the desire to take my Imate JamIn up to WM6.
So I pulled from the web the file:
RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID_QTEK and hurled it onto my PDA
It went from Imate to QTEK but still worked pretty well. So I then went and loaded Upgrade Happy from a site in Roumania.
This loaded but was distinctly unimpressive and unstable so I managed to downgrade to the WM5 file above again.
Then I tried Smart1's v2 WM6 file and this went on OK. However, I have experienced a few issues with the battery and other things like Timewizard, etc.
So I have gone back to the NVID_QTEK WM5 file again.
BUT I would really like to put back on my Imate ROM which I have stored away. Sadly, whenever I try and load the ROM it states that the version is lower and I can only do an UPGRADE ( I get a 286 error).
I have searched here and Google and think that I can Un CID my phone (not actually sure what this does mind). I have read posts suggesting that once done I can load any version of any Prophet ROM on my PDA.
I went off and ended up on PDAMobiz and pulled down a file called:
PDAMobiz.com_ProphetAKU2_unlockCID.rar
But this site is incredibly slow and the file is corrupt when I finally get it down.
Can anyone explain to me whether it is possible to get to reload my earlier ROM version Imate ROM? If it is can anyone explain what I need to do and perhaps put up a link to an area where I can pull the tools down.
This website has a great reputation for helping each other out and I am sure that my ignorance will be forgiven,
Kind Regards,
Sam.

Hi
This is because you have upgraded your ipl/spl and these can't be downloaded.
But don't worry it's not a problem
if you have the original rom you should have a .nbf file?
You can use typho5.exe -x xxx.nbf (whatever it is called) this will extract the individual elements (ipl/spl/os/extrom/radio/splash screens) as .nb files.
Then use nb2nbf to build a new nbf file without spl/ipl parts. copy this file back to your backup folder (rename the original one first) and install again
Good Luck

Thanks - I have just a couple more dumb questions...
FlykThewiz,
Many thanks for your help.
I have the file:JAMin_WWE_213923_2139123_022021_shi.exe
Do you know how I get the .NBF out of it?
Also,
You couldn't point me to the tools you mention could you?
If I do what you said then do I get back my own Imate Splash screen too?
Do you know if I will suffer any problems with things being different versions?
Once again many thanks I will let you know how I get on.
Kind Regards,
Sam.

You can use winrar (free download - search google if you don't have it) to extract the files in your exe.
One of the file will be the nbf.
I will sort out the instructions for you but I have to go out for a couple of hours at the moment.

T H A N K Y O U
flykthewiz,
You are simply The MAN
Many, Many thanks,
Sam.

I don't know about being the man - i had the same problem myself.
Attached is a zip file with the two tools you need.
I suggest you create a folder called c:\rom and copy the contents of your exe file and these to programs into it.
goto a dos cmd window and cd \rom
type "typho5 -x nk.nbf" (no quotes)
you will then have a number of *.nb files in c:\rom
rename nk.nbf to nk.org
send me the list of nb files you have.
ZIPPED with winzip 12

Hi flykthewiz
is 92000000-Splash.nb is the imate pic when softreset
cause am using AKU3.3.13.ASERG after I unlocked my Jamin with RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID .... and want to go back only for the Imate screen instead of QTEK, and can I flash with it only
thanks

Splash Screens
There are two splash screens - the one you mention is the first (often blank)
The second is 9d000000-xxx.nb this is the one that is displayed most of the time when the phone is booting. To enter this in nb2nbf you need to manually enter "HTC Logo" as the image name.

FlykTheWiz,
Thanks for the tools.
The files I have are as follows:
30/03/2007 13:50 59,768,832 80040000-OS_0.nb
30/03/2007 13:50 786,432 91000000-SPL_1.nb

16/09/2005 12:20 53,248 nb2nbf.exe
13/03/2006 19:09 784,972 typho5.exe
I have loaded up the nb2nbf file but have no idea what to do with it - The only option appears to be for a Tornado...
Thanks,
Sam.

Ok
fill in nb2nbf like the image in the attached zip file.
Important notes:
1. use the ... browse buttons to select your files and the length field will be filled in for you (the image shows mostly zeros)
2. the image name for the extended rom is Extension Rom (not Extended) and you have to type it manually - its not in the drop dow list.
3. the start address for OS.nb is 80040000 (not 82040000 which the program defaults to)
4. you need to manually type HTC Logo in image type - its not in the list.
Do not add the ipl and spl files! (these are the ones that are causing your problems)
When its all filled in click on Translate and when that is finished exit the program.
If you have copied all of the contents of your extracted exe to c:\ROM you should have a program called ROMUpdateUtility.
Connect your pda to usb and run this program and follow the instructions (you've done this before )
After its finished your phone will hard reset and you should have your original ROM.
It doesnt matter that ipl and spl are different versions
Good Luck

Nearly there
FlykTheWiz,
Many thanks for the instructions. I have done what you suggested with NB2NKF
However, When I try to run my RUU utility I get error code 238 Cannot Read the file.
I extracted all files into a single directory and replaced the default .NBF with my new one. Then ran the RUU tool.
Am I being a numpty?
Many thanks,
Sam.

hmmm
Try the appropriate RUU from the attached
If your ipl ends in .000 use G3 version
if ends in .0001 use G4 version

T H A N K Y O U
I would just like to thank you for your kindness and patience. I have now got the HTC device reblown to the original condition that I started from (with the exception of the IPL/SPL).
Using the G4 utility worked for me.
On the way I have learned a great deal and appreciate your assistance.
Thank you very much,
Sam.

No problem at all

flyk (definitely) thewiz !!!
Flykthewiz... Many thanks for your input to this thread... your tutorial has helped me (and many of us) more than almost ANY other on this site!!! You are obviously very knowledgeable in this "art"!!!!
Since we have not seen much input from Jesterz or Smart1 lately (I can understand that it is time-consuming...!) , can I suggest that maybe you could take up the reigns and offer to this community your first Prophet ROM build??? (Any +AKU base will be a help??)
Please do consider doing this - I *know* you can do this and although I appreciate it can take a lot of your personal time and effort to achieve.. I am sure that your contribution will be appreciated and valued by us all, if u were to attempt such a project!!?
If not, we do understand... but please stay around here and continue to help us all with your flykth-wiz-dom!!!

Thanks for your vote of confidence, but I have to say - you must be joking
I only started looking at modifying ROM's 2 days ago and it is a minefield. I have absolutely every respect for Jesterz, Smart1, Nghianha, and all of the guys over at PDAMobiz. I think it will be a long while before I am anything like of their calibre!
