Hi,
Im trying to upgrade my uk mda compact to one of the lastest roms, with no luck!
I have been trying for days now, feel like ripping my hair out!
ive tryed lots of different roms, all with the same error, Error 150, it says the utility was not designed for my device
ive been using MaUpgradeUt_noID, and putting the pda in bootmode
please help what am i doing wronge?
I've had the same problem..
Maybe a 'byte copy' from the original to the new rom has to be performed?
Can anyone confirm this?
Already done the BigStorage but not really sure of the benefit of the latest one (i still have the original shipped one).
Its pretty easy, will be doing it on Monday, if you guys are in the UK perhaps we can get on IM or something and I'll walk you through it.
Before then, please make a backup of your original rom usint the d2s procedure, you will need it should you ever return your MDA under warranty.

What I did was to disable activesync.
I then put the MDA into bootloader whilst disconnected from the PC. The bootloader should say Serial.
If you then plug it into the PC, the screen should change to USB.
Let the PC find the device and say that the hardware is ready for use.
Now run the upgrade_noid.exe program and it should work.

Evening people, hope uve got a bit of info for me
Im getting my MDA Compact tomorrow on TMobile network. Ive already got an O2 contract which I am going to keep on using and the TMobile sim will not be used.
a) Whats the best/cheapest way to get the phone unlocked so I can use my O2 simcard?
b) How do I flash my phone with the latest IMate Jam ROM, Ive read some posts, but it seems a bitawkward to do and I dont want to end up with a broken phone after only a few hours
Or do I just stick with the ROM that is on there, but when I boot the phone, I reset it straight after touching the screen to continue on setup?
Any info very very much appreciated!!!
:wink:
Before you do anything, make sure you make a backup of your MDA as it is. Follow the instructions elsewhere using the d2s procedure to make a backup of your ROM to an SD card, 256MB cards are best and once you have made the backup, use the ntrw tool to copy it to your PC.
You will beed this should you ever return your MDA under warranty !
Hi,
Im have a G4 mda vario!
ipl 2.21.0001
spl 2.21.0001
original software t-mobile.
Im trying to figure out the best way to upgrade to wm6. Some topics say to unlock CID but with a G4 you must pay for it. Other topic say use hard spl or soft spl is this also for CID unlocking?? I dont know annymore so can someone help me?? The steps I need to make to install wm6 on my device.
And for the best wm6 rom on htc wizard aka mda vario.
Thnx!
Kevin
i have tmobile mda vario
i am running tnt 1933 which seems to be for me at least the best all round rom. and its as stable if not more than stock wm5
i used soft spl.
you should read the instructions fully and make sure you are happy before proceding.
I recommend.
1) Hard reset
2) hook up to pc and run wizard service tool (search the forum) and use this to enable rapi and cert etc.
then run the soft spl.
I had problems first couple of times where it would go black then i get funny error in green text but never actually flashed anything. But i think the hard reset and enable rapi stuff fixed that.
hope thats of some use.
cant recommend tnt rom enough
if you want to save yourself an absolute tonne of mucking about and trying to figure everything out, i recommend you splash the cash and pay the £20 on http://www.imei-check.co.uk/
i have a g4 and used these guys, worked with absolute no issues, and im on the xmr5 rom ( or whatever its called )

the above recomendation are good , in fact that's what i have done to update my G4. I would only add to that rembember to save your current rom and extended rom before update. so you may downgrade if you have any problem with wm6.
Hi,
I have a Tilt, the ROM version is: 1.57.502.2, Radio version: 1.27.12.11. I am trying to downgrade the phone to WM5 or to one of the cooked roms published on this site. I have spent hours reading the WIKI section and many posts. I have tried to install the HARD-SPL however in the begining I had the white screen problem. After using the JUMPSPL, I think that I have managed to install the Hard-SPL (The version that the bootloader shows is: SPL-1.0.Olipof.
I have also unlocked the phone and the CID using tools available on this website. I have no way to check if the unlock works since I do not have another SIM with me right now.
The problem that I am having is that every time I try to install a ROM, I start the upgrade wizard, and get to the point where the phone shows a promt that asks me if I want to approve the execution of a file. I confirm it and then the phone reboots, shows the AT&T logo right away and reloads everything. I do not see the bootloader and after around 60 seconds I get the 260 error on my computer telling me that there is an update error and that the update utility could not access my PDA phone.
I have also tried to get into the bootloader manually, then connect the USB while ActiveSync is open and load an ATT rom (It's an older one with WM5 provided by Cingular) however I get the same results...
Can anyone give me some guidance? Any advice will be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Joe
P.S. The computer's OS is windows XP, I have turned of the Anti-Virus Scanner (AVG)
dude, there is no wm5 for the tilt........i think you are trying to load an 8525 rom on the the tilt and that is not going to work
What about a cooked rom?
Thanks for your reply. Is there any way to install a cooked ROM instead of cingular/ATT provided Roms with WM5?

Like XtreMe_G said, there is no WM5-ROM available for the Kaiser. You can only use WM6/WM6.1 ROMs.
Why would you want to use a WM5 one?
If you want to flash one of the WM 6/6.1-Rom's, read the "Introduction to ROM flashing" (link below) .
This thread needs to die...
There is no WM5 Rom for HTC Kaiser Model.
Nobody has cooked one.
HTC didn't OEM one.
IT DOESN'T EXIST.
RTFF, you'll find everything you need to know about flashing cooked Roms but you will only find WM6 & WM6.1 Roms.
Hi,
i have Treo 750 want to unlock!!
IPL:0.20
SPL: 0.24.0000'
i try with Cheeta unlocker and MAGIC Unlocker, both not work.
it this because of the new SPL0.24??
can anyone give me instruction how to please!!
thanks
i had same problems with my treo. first like oli says in his first post about hard spl make sure you have net compact framework 2.0 on your computer. what worked for me was in your c drive there is a folder called tempche. delete that file then run unlocker again. i only did first step on my treo just so it would be hard spl'd. never did step 2 and so on cause i didnt feel a need too.
thanks man, just delate the tempche folder then everyhting run smoothly.
cheers
Good for you!
Hi:
Where do you find the SPL and IPL information?
And can you tell me what SPL actually is?
Thanks!
spl
im not sure about what spl means but i do know that you need to have it done in order to install a cooked rom. it basically unlocks your phone so you can flash different roms that the chefs cook. there really isnt to many people cooking roms for the treo. theres only about 3 or 4. i think everybody got different phones so thats why your not getting responded too very quickly. i too have a tilt and a treo and i like to bounce back and forth between phones. i have the wm 6.1 lite rom on my treo. if your looking at just upgrading from wm 5 to wm 6 you dont need to do a hard spl. stock roms allow you to flash without unlocking your phone. im not a computer genious here but i will try and assist you however i can. ive been in your shoes before trying to figure all this stuff out.
i forgot to answer your question about where to find the spl. it shows up in your bootloader screen. you can see it by pressing down the lower left side button and pushing soft reset which is located on the other side where you put your mini sd in. there is a small whole that you use your stylus to push in. you can just soft reset again to get out of the bootloader screen.
helpeee
i used cheeter unlocker. I
did step one and two
successfully. But at the end i get
the debug error which some
people got. So i copied htc herm
unlock v3 to the phone. I ran it
from phone and selected sim
unlock and it was succesfull. But
when i turn on radio, i get "you
have tried 5 times, wait for time
out ****".
Please anyone, what am i doing
wrong, or what should i do to
unlock my machine?? It has wm6
from at&t.

Hi all,
I have read alot of your articles to update to WM 6.5. I have a Palm Treo 750I downloaded the CeetahUnlocker.exe and the Cheeimg.nbh. I ran the CeetahUnlocker.exe and clicked on the "Flash SPL" which after my second try worked fine. My phone boots with the Palm logo and not the AT&T logo it initially had. The other thing when I hold the media key and do a soft reset the phone enters the Bootloader program, therefore I think the "Flash SPL" went okay. The problem I am having is that the second step "Unlock Radio" does not work that is a ERROR message happens after the phone goes into the Bootloader mode. Can you guys tell me If my phone was unlocked to use my local carrier do I have to unlock the radio ect. Please help as this is becoming very fustrating.
thank you in advance
Anthony
Come on guys... anyone, someone pls help...
Hi, u just need to use the Athena_unlocker at that point to unlock ur carrier and thats it
I bought my phone unlock so do I still need to do this. Their are 2 Carrier in my country and I can use the simm card of anyone of them...
If your phone was unlocked, then you don't need to do it again. Flashing ROMs using Hard SPL will not change its status in that regard.
Can you tell me then the steps for updtaing to WM 6.5 please
Assuming you have correctly run the HardSPL, there are many threads in this section that describe how to flash a ROM, so there's no reason to re-hash the instructions yet again here.
Pick your preferred version of WM6.5 (keeping in mind they all still have major bugs) and flash it. If you don't like it, then keep trying until you find one you like.
The WM6.1 ROM is the most stable and bug free however, just as an FYI. The WM6.5 ROMs are fun to play with, but I wouldn't recommend them as a permanent install for most people unless the known bugs don't affect functions you regularly use.
