I can't get onto the ftp site...

When I try to get onto ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/ (username xda, password xda) my browser just hangs. Does anyone know what the status is on the ftp site, or any other way of getting to downloads?
I'm trying to get hold of Himalaya Radio 1.17 or 1.18
Many thanks in advance

go to wiki, pick the ftp page, read it

Sorry - it was a firewall issue at my site.
All sorted now.

COUNTRY ID error??

I tried to install the following ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=22591&highlight=ftp+site
I did everything like the instruction said but after a few seconds of collecting data from my MDA, the program on the pc said "Country error 120".
What now? I'm trying to make my german MDA compact into an english one.
-John

This problem has been posted many times on this forum...
Anyway replace the 'ROMUpgradeUt' with 'MAUpgradeUt_noID' available here:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Magician/Tools
Also don't forget to disable the USB connection by right clicking ActiveSync and unchecking the box.

Disable USB? But if I disable the USB how can upload the ROM files to my MDA? I use a USB connection to connect the MDA to my pc.
-John

Trust me it will work- I only did it yesterday to upgrade my mates ROM to 1.12.
He tried to do it himself but it didn't work. When I did it, the only thing I did different was to disable the USB in Active Sync.
Try it and see if it works... its takes about 20 mins to perform the whole thing.

Not sure if I`m missing something but everytime I attempt to connect to the ftp server above (since I`ve got the same problem) I get "access denied" when I connect via ftp.

Make sure you change the login credentials in Internet Explorer; when you get the access denied message go to File> Login As and change the username xda and password to xda.
If that still doesn't work, use a FTP client software package- some people have reported to have problems with FTP when accessed through Internet Explorer.

Ummm... where do I put this file? I'm trying to run the exe file called "o2asia_11100_922_11100_ship" with the instructions I got from the link I posted on my first post.
I opened the exe file "o2asia_11100_922_11100_ship" with winzip just to see it's content and it has the "ROMUpgradeUt" file but if I replace it and try to run the exe I don't think it will work as the installer is looking for the original "ROMUpgradeUt" and not "MAUpgradeUt_noID".
That's why I wanted clear instructions because I really don't have a *** clue what I'm doing and I really really REALLY can't use the internet now very much as I can only visit off-work sites at my coffee breaks.
So please, help me, I have all the files now but I don't know what to do with them!
-John

Can't get it to work. Here's what I did:
Extracted all the files from "WWE_11200_128_11210_ship" into d:\mda
Did everything as stated here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=14973
But doesn't work. I does upgrade, but the upgrade takes like 10 seconds, then it says to cold boot the mda and after a cold boot it is back in German language.
What am I doing wrong? The .bat file I made does some changes and I am doing everything like the instructions say but something must be wrong here. Please help.
-John

Works now, well at least it is now upgrading so something must be rigt... now I just have to wait
And to contribute and help other newbies - The BEST instructions (in my opinion) are those from "NemesisDE" in this thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=14973&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=75
See pages 4 and 5. Read the instructions on page 4 and then see page 5 for further info = where to download the large rom file as it's been moved and also get the MaUpgradeUt_noID.
To clarify: After you have the ROM (I used WWE_11200_128_11210_ship), download also MaUpgradeUt_noID.
Then you can proceed with NemesisDE's instructions, they are VERY good. I had no problems converting my german MDA compact into english.
Now this is the type of information I should've gotten yesterday... but now it works, I'm happy.

UK T-Mobile MDA Compact - ROM Upgrade

I've read through a few threads/posts and think I've figured out what I need to do. Would appreciate someone telling me I'm on the right track.
What I've got:
UK T-Mobile MDA Compact
ROM 1.01.00 WWE
Radio 1.00.10
Ext ROM 1.01.128 WWE
What I want to do:
Upgrade to latest, safest ROM without destroying GPRS and other connectivity (or anything really)
Not end up with a doorstop
Upgrade using USB
What I've downloaded:
WWE_11200_128_11210_ship (seems a nice safe ROM)
What I'm going to do:
- connect via USB
- connect power (or is the USB power ok by itself?)
- run the exe file
- watch it upgrade....
So - is that it? Or do I still have to do all the other things (overwriting bytes, extracting, etc, etc).
And will T-Mobile still talk to me....? Or more to the point - can I restore the existing ROM (I think there's a ROM backup utility on the FTP site)?
Thanks in advance (and try not to mutter 'dumb newbie' too often).
Cheers
Andrew

You can login using a ftp-client program like cuteftp or something like that. With the following settings:
server: xda-developers.com
user xda
password: xda
port: 21
Or you can login using a FTP-capable browser like IExplorer. Then u use:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/Shipped_ROMS/
Hope this helps...

FTP Folder Error
Windows cannot access this folder. Make sure you typed the file name correctly and that you have permission to access the folder.
Details:
The FTP session was terminated
OK
:?:

You've got to give more info on your situation. What browser are you using? Dit you type "ftp://xda:[email protected]" instead of "ftp://xda-....." ? Do you use a firewall (from windows)? etc. etc.
It's not a problem of the server. It's up. I logged in using IExplorer just a minute ago.
If nothing works, just use a ftp-client.

I just clicked on the links shown in this thread. Haven't typed anything!

I have problems with the FTP also.
I can access it with FlashFXP but I cannot download anything.
It will stop after 108kb...

The server is a little bit slow sometimes (this is the best place for all the xda stuff :wink: )
Connection problems can occur when u use a router for your internet connection. If so, make sure you open and forward the ports (21 and 20 ) for FTP to your PC in the router management. Make also sure that your firewall opens these ports.
Furthermore it's better to enter the settings manually in the FTP-client program.
Here are the settings for CuteFTP Home...

This thread appears to have become a 'how to access the ftp site'.
I am also trying to put together in my head at least the best way to upgrade my rom, which is more or less the same as yours!
I did manage to down load the lastest rom and unpacked it, but which exe file are you talking about?
The method that seem to stick for me, is to copy the nb1 file on to a sd card, going to boot mode, etc, etc.
But I am worried about do something to my sd card in the process!

Hmm lads, lets all get back on track I have covered this in previous posts
I recently upgraded a colleagues MDA compact (an untouched TMobile 101 build) with the 112_172 build its actually the Orange MDA build from Holland. But very good.
Bear in mind keep your programs that you installed handy as you will need to re-install them .
- Extract the shipped ROM.exe files to a folder for instance MDA112, this will leave 6-8 files in the folder with radio.nb1 etc. This can be done by WinRAR or WinZip
- Connect to ftp site ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/
- Copy the MA_upgrade_NoID file from the ftp site (Tools folder) to the MDA folder on your PC/Laptop
- Plug in USB connector to MDA
- Backup your relevant contacts etc
- Disable ActiveSync USB connections
- Go to bootloader mode Camera-Power-SoftReset All 3 actions together, USB will be displayed , very faint, on the MDA screen
- VERY important: Run the MDA UpgradeNOID.exe file(this will ignore country code errors that you will receive normally) in the MDA folder you created and deposited the extracted files from the ROM image
- wait 20-30 minutes and
- hey presto you have a new ROM on the MDA.
- re-enable ActiveSync USB connections
You should be done

i am getting all kind of annoying messages about ruu dll not found...what is this and where do i find it?
solved but now i have the rom upgrade utility error 150...
anyone ?

I too am getting the "rom upgrade utility error 150" after carefully following the instructions for upgarding a T-mobile phone from the same ROM version.
I am wondering whether it is necessary to follow some kind of installation path? What I mean is, maybe it is not possible to jump from the shipped ROM (1.01) to the latest version.
Might need to stagger the upgade?
Did yourworldanywhere have any luck with his upgrade, cos that was the exact same install that I am trying.
Cheers

Install the same way as a .cab file on my memcard ?

NetCF Install
Hello
No this one needs an ActiveSync (Windows XP) or Windows Mobile Device Centre (Vista/Win 7) active connection to your phone first. Then double click the msi file. It acts as an install file. I recommend reading the install notes on the Microsoft page the link takes you to.
I tried to upload the smaller cab file to my post but it kept returning error messages.
Found this, it may help you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347537

Ok, done ! Works fine thanks

Map loader for navigon select

Reading the forum post at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919612

It downloads maps on a fresh installation of navigon select navigator for WP7.
We can distribute this tool to anyone who needs it!!
to use it you need:
a wp7 device
zune
navigon installer (xap file, and a way to install it on the device)
.net framework 4 on the pc
don't know what else
anyone is intrested in trying this tool???
(I can't post on the thread I refer to because I am a new member)

ok
first of all, i do not include maps in my package (because you should "buy" them and also because they are way too big).
here the steps to follow:
. add this program to firewall exceptions and run it as administrator
. download maps (iphone maps or similar, you should have .map files) from torrent or in any other way
. download all 3 files from here http://cid-e52d45dda5827eab.office.live.com/browse.aspx/Navigon and extract them in a folder
. enter in the subfolder Data\o25\u\eu\wm_select\Map and copy here your map files
. open the exe file and follow the procedure on screen

Great!! it works!!
i can now upload my favourite maps on my mobile (LG Optimus 7) without becoming crazy while trying to browse folders!
Good job, i hope this project will be appreciated by other users!!
Thanks to you our Windows Phone 7 mobile can now have a navigator with vocal directions and resident maps!!

I'm interested in tryin it out

I'm interested in trying map load, can you send me the link?

How do i get this app?

definitely interested. would be cool to upload states on demand.

ok.
navigon told you the download size?
this could be the problem.
we tried on more than one pc and the ip assigned to the pc is 192.168.50.100, but it is possible that you have another ip.
in c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file, i add the row
192.168.55.100 navigon.vo.llnwd.net
try to replace the ip with your's ip address (do it after pressing proceed and before start downloading)

One question, i already have navigon with the middle east maps 1.7 installed ( I used the thread mentioned in your first post ) . Will your files help me install additional maps, like European countries and will i keep my already installed ones ?

mmm.. if you have .map files to add yes, otherwise navigon does not allows to add map after the download (only the software itself can add map data)

Yes, my local pc address of 192.168.0.187.

Windows 7 64 Bit. Had to disable NIS Firewall and run as Admin. I also had to enable the WiFi connection on the phone for some reason. Without that I would get an error after webserver started. Now working great.
thank you!! Making this much easier now to update maps. I see you already updated the program to be able to use local IP address of choice (or called from ipconfig..).
edit1:hmm, it uploads the data, when finished and I open Navigon it has no maps and just quits.
odd
edit2: just tried this again using old fashioned way and it worked. will try again tonight with your compilation. it did not report any errors when downloading to the phone. All maps and sounds were successfully transferred. But Navigon did not show any maps.
edit3: guess it has to do with region. when I try to get mixed maps the old fashioned way I can only get US maps, none of the European maps show up in Navigon. I assume the same is true for your app. It uses EU region and none of my US maps get transferred. does that make sense? Is it possible to add more than one region in NaviKernelConf.ini ?
