Uploaded. brand spanking new T-Mobile UK MDA compact ROM
(Now in the magician uploads sectiom)
R 1.12.00
G 1337.42
D 1.12_WWE
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Magician/
Full rom extracted using romupdate to 256mb SD card and extracted from the card using ntrw.exe. MDA was brand new unused and this rom has not been modified in any way.
Anyone tried this ROM? T-Mobile have had the most stable ROMS in the past ...
Maybe you misunderstood, this ROM was extracted from a brand new MDA compact that I took delivery of on Friday. It is not a modified ROM or a Qtek, its a genuine T-Mobile ROM on an MDA compact part no 99HAK026-00.
I extracted it wth romupdate.exe, copied from my sd card (256MB) using ntrw.exe and ftp straight up.
downloaded half of it last night but can't seem to download the rest today - please share again

Hi
So many people downloaded it that it blew my download bandwidth limit with my hosting company. I'll copy it to the ftp.xda-developers.com site, probably best place for it anyway.
Where abouts on the ftp site have you put it, and whats it called?
Thanks
Uploading it now to the uploads section, should be there in a few minutes
i cant find it too.
Cant wait to get it though!
Don't suppose T-mobile have applied the BigStorage hack by any chance??!!
Joking aside- thanks for taking the time to upload it Bobster.
thanks for sharing this.
At least someone has been good enough to since its quite clear T-mobile have no intentions of providing any updates to current users.

Few minutes is a good joke.... ;-) 256 MB are quite a much off stuff....
An other question is, why uploading twice? One time in the Upload folder and one time in the upload/Magician folder....
I'm going to split the file in the right size and will move it then in the Magician folder.....

Stefan
sorry for being a complete noob, but how do i install this .nb1? Last time i flashed my firmware it was a windows exe that installed it all for me.
The nb1 file is a ROM dump, which in this case you would have to follow the procedure as shown in one of stickies 'How to upgrade your rom to latest one' (or whatever it's called).
Cant seem to find the uploaded new T-Mobile MDA Compact rom?
Is it uploaded??

This link doesn't work for me... Any ideas why?
Some users experience problems using FTP via Internet Explorer. Try using a FTP client software- FTP Surfer is a free one- can't remember the exact link- try a search in Google.
Any other FTP client should also be fine.
Also make sure you are using the correct login details (change them from file menu in Internet Explorer>

!!! NEWS !!!
It has finally been uploaded and is in the Magician section of the uploads folder on the ftp site
at
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Magician/
I just re-loaded it on an oder MDA compact and it works fine , i find it always works if
1) Make a copy of your existing ROM on the sda crd using romupdate.exe as this seems to format your SD card correctly.
2) Copy your existing rom from the sd card using ntrw.exe BUT DO NOT FORMAT OR ERASE YOUR SD IN ANY WAY
3) Copy the new ROM onto your SD using ntrw.exe
4) Insert the SD card and boot to bootloader, about 8 seconds later it will promt you to flash
It is not a bigstorage rom , its a normal T-Mobile with extended ROM and seems to have the improved bluetooth and a two device comparison (old and new together) shows faster navigation around menus.
Good luck downloaing,

I have successfully flashed an O2 english machine into a traditional chinese one. I just wanted to point couple things out that slowed me down during upgrading:
1) if your ntrw shows something like "usage... etc" that means you have an incorrect version. Please download version 2.0
2) when replacing the information in the hex editor, you do not have to highlight the part to be replaced, just click once to the beginning of the header, then click paste, it'll replace by itself. I tried to highlight the part to be replaced and delete and paste again.. etc with no luck. Remember it has to look like the original, 3-4 lines of 00 then ff ff.. etc, if you did it wrong it will only have the ff ff parts right after the 416 bytes (this worked for me)
3) when putting in the SD card, it does not necessarily give you the prompt to flash in several seconds, i've seen it pop up after several minutes, so give it some time and not panic
Those were just some of my experiences that I thought could be amended to the procedures to clarify some things, because one would have to dig through many topics to find the above solutions as I did (which i don't understand why the authors won't edit their procedures to make it perfect).
Anyhow, I have one final question. I read the thread on how to remove T-mobile's customizations somewhere, but how do I remove O2's cusomization? If I can figure this out I'll make my O2 w/ dopod rom into an O2 trad. chinese rom. Thnx
Here's another thing I wanted to ask, when I change the rom and flahs w/ the cht.xxx file from ftp (the O2 rom) does it include the ext roms? Or should I d/l them cab by cab and install separately? Or does this need to be unlocked like some other threads say?

i've also used panasonic high speed pro 512mb on another machine

Ext & radio rom is included. :lol:
I made quite the mistake yesterday. I have an MDA compact that came from T-Mobile Germany and originally had german as the default language. It was easy to change to english by going to regional settings & selecting english.
So I didn't think twice about using a German T-Mobile ROM upgrade - and now I'm stuck with GERMAN!!! Regional settings doesn't change the language any more! what the heck?
Sooooo, I need a WWE .exe ROM that will load - I tried a UK WWE and I was told by the installer that I had the wrong language and install could not continue. Is there a way to go back to WWE? I don't care at this point what version.....
Also, I have downloaded from the FTP server other ROM versions but they are all .nb1 files and, despite my best efforts, I can't understand the proper way to install these. I've looked thru lots of posts and found one set of instructions but they were very hard to understand. HELP!!
funkynugget,
I have been in your shoes, in the exact situation as a matter of fact. I am very familiar with PPC but had never flashed anything in my life( well there was this one time a few years back but uuhhhh.. thats for another story) Anyways just down load the preferred WWE, I am using the latest Jam rom which works great with my German Tmobile. You will also need to download the MaUpgradeUt.exe file as well. Do a google search to find that one by just typing in MaUpgradeUt.exe Now unzip or unrar (whatever) the rom that you choose to use so it breaks down the files seperately. In it you will see the MaUpgradeUt.exe file. Remove that one a replace it with the newly downloaded one. Click on the and enjoy. You may come up with langauge or country error. dont worry if that happens just restart, it will work the second time.
Todd
thank you sooo much for the advice. i will for sure give it a try. i've downloaded another version of the ROM from orange and i'll probably end up just using that BUT i would prefer to use the i-mate ROM, from what i hear it fixes all kinds of little bugs. only problem is it isn't available on the FTP server and i have no other access. do you have it? can you post it to the FTP server here on xda?
once again, thanks for the help!
i've done some research to find a downloadable 'maUpgradeUt.exe' file and i'm starting to wonder if it matters where i get it & what type. you suggest downloading one to replace the one that comes with the WWE ROM but how do i know i found the correct 'maUpdateUt.exe' language/file?
funkynugget,
I tried but it said I do not have permission to upload file. Do you have an FTP I could upload to, it would be my pleasure as I also have received help from this site and would be lost without it.
Todd
'maUpgradeUt.exe'
funkynugget,
I am trying to attach the 'maUpgradeUt.exe' file, Im not sure it will work and I hope its OK to do this, we will see.
Now unzip or unrar (whatever) the rom that you choose to use so it breaks down the files seperately. In it you will see the MaUpgradeUt.exe file. Remove that one a replace it with the newly downloaded one. Click on the and enjoy.....
todd (or anyone else who can help!) when i unzip the files they either come out as an .exe or an nb1 file, not a series of files. how do i get the files separated? and when you say 'click on the and enjoy' click on what?
I think i have looked everywhere and can't find a dump of the uk vodafone vpa rom, can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
same here! id love to get hold of a copy myself... anyone out there can help??
I have the VPA ROM on an SD backup, i also have the VPA extended ROM.
I will upload it for you when i get a chance today.

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

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!!!!

Hi there,
I looked over to the "sticky" thread but apprently the links won't work anymore, thanks to all so helpfull palm support (from November 1st).
Could anyone share a generic wm6 rom on rapidshare or mediafire, or link me to a download page if I have overlooked something.
Treo750_2_23_ROW_EN_DesktopUpdater.zip would be highly appreciated.
Thank you very much.
I too would like this

the files consist of 2 part. the 1st part is around 48MB and the 2nd part is around 14MB, but after i extract it, both files contain the same files and at the same size, which is Treo750_2_23_ROW_EN_DesktopUpdater in both .rar files. thts really make me confuse
any1 know how & why?
Do you know what the password is for those two files?
can somebody upload Treo750_2_18_xxx_DesktopUpdater.zip file?
xxx: is code for Vodafone UK (that I don't Know).

Any chance of getting this file uploaded again? Tried the supplied link but Rapidshare indicates the file has been removed.
Me too. The file has been removed.
Can anyone upload the file again? I also want the same thing.

Thanks for the link, but I'd prefer the generic one if possible as I'm on the Telstra network in Australia.
HTC direct download link for Treo750_2_23_ROW_EN_DesktopUpdater.zip
I found this on a page in some Asian Language, but I downloaded it, unpacked it, and used an SD card to install it and it works great! It is a very slow download however!

There has never been an official WM6.1 update for the Treo 750, so the short answer is no. That file will get you WM6.0.

How does it not install for you??? Did you try the SDversion instead of the Desktop version?
Any updates on this file? Can't seem to find it anywhere is Palm actively eliminating this from the internet?
