Hi
I have just got my self a new T-Mobile MDA
ROM version: 1.12.00 WWE
Radio version: 1.12.00
Protocol version: 1337.42
ExtROM version: 1.12.152 WWE
I am going to be unlocking then upgrading the ROM to the standard imate rom so I can remove all branding and use my orange SIM card, I am alsl thinking of branding it like a M500 but not sure yet.
I am going to post all my experiences at doing this task to if anyone else wants to do this they can learn from me.
ok first its the unlocking
going to use the software from this great site
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=24779
also 1 question will this be permanent or will I have to do this again after hard reset/ROM change?
ok looks like everything went fine
Code:
xdadev_all_unlock started
device=PM10A
key found
ril ioctl 0xc2: 00000000
simlock answer: %SIMLOCK= 01
0
current lock status: 01
security answer:
000
security answer2:
setting lock 01
htclock answer:
removing lock 01
htclock answer:
simlock answer: 0
0
%SIMLOCK= 00
0
now my orange SIM works fine
next is the hard task, putting in the ROM.
going to read up on this so might be a while before I start anything, any tips on getting through this would be great
ok after a bit of playing around with the MDA I have decied not to change the ROM just yet. I have been using the trick to stop the T-mobile settings being installed.

I found the file called config in the extended_ROM area, to access the extended_ROM you need to hardreset the device and then when you see the home screen for the first time soft reset quickly before and custom software installs.
well so far I have been playing around with loads of diffent settings, lots of hardresets to find the best combination of software to install
so far the only t-mobile software I have installed is the camera software as when you start the camera it automaticaly turns onto landscape mode which I like
has anyone got any sugestions on anyother software I should use?
SPB?
Orange M500 Advice
I have just bought an Orange M500 and have done nothing with it yet... i'm sure i am on the Standard 1.06 release of the rom, but would like to upgrade to 1.12 - what do i need to do this? there seem to be so many guides available, i just need to find one which will work and will let me keep the orange settings.
I also want to free up some storage space (i have a 1gb card so can happily move programs onto this) but with all the orange software, or ext rom, there is only 5mb of ram left for running programs.
Can anyone offer any advice or guidance??
Thanks
@beckett1
Hey there, what cab is it that you use for the camera to make it go landscape.
I have a MDA III and it does not do that for me, i have noticed that on my dad's MDA Compact he can do it, i'm not sure that it will work for the MDAIII but i might as well try because i think it looks good.
Can you attach this CAB as an attachment to this thread?
Very much appriciate it.
Ash

Hi itwasntme187
I used the cab file that can with the MDA, but you can find it on the ftp.
amartin13:
I found the if you do the hardreset and then softreset trick you can then install only the needed items, to geet you orange mms and grps setting just make sure you run CAB-Customization-Magician-OrangeUK-13Jan05.sa.CAB
I found some help on the differnt files in the orange roms here I have used thids list to only install the bits a really need
I will post soon about the best combination of software I have used.

Hello, i have done lot of reading there about all upgrades on our Magician's.. So for everyone who is new here to this forum, there is latest update available with easy few steps to upgrade
ROM version 1.12.00 WWE
Radio version 1.13.00
Protocol version 1337.43
ExtROM version 1.12.131 WWE
It's an IMATE ROM, with CZ (Czech) customized ExtROM. so anyone who want to cook his own ROM, just
download this file > http://live61.com/mda/yourownEXT.nb1 and follow Extended ROM steps above
It's complete Dump of my device, including CE ROM, EXT ROM and RADIO STACK. This update flawlessly worked on 3 devices i had in my hands.. So I hope, it will help you with no problems. (no need to change any 440bytes and other 'hacks' found there in forum).
Install is so easy
1. download NB1 file http://dc.live61.com/mda/Imate_WWE_1.12_1.13_1.12.131.nb1
2. write it on your SD card (at least 128mb) with NTRW application - "ntrw.exe write Imate_WWE_1.12_1.13_1.12.131.nb1 g:" (g: as your SD card drive letter)
3. insert SD card to MDA, and enter bootloader with CAMERA+POWER buttons together with RESET
4. after about 8 seconds you will get message with "Sections=2, press Power.." so press Power button and wait until "Checksum OK" message appears. Then reset your MDA
Thats it!
Customized Extended ROM
1. install this plugin to your Total Commander. (restart of PC needed!) http://live61.com/mda/VirtualDisk_1.30b2.rar
2. mount as an virtual image yourownEXT.nb1 file
3. make here your desired changes and unmount it
4. run WinHEX, open modified yourownEXT.nb1 (ouch.. i know, you need this.. http://sweb.cz/ftp1/WinHexSerial.txt)
5. select whole file with CTRL+A and copy to clipboard CTRL+C
6. open Imate_WWE_1.12_1.13_1.12.131.nb1 file, go to OFFSET 2C0019C and write clipboard data with CTRL+B
7. save Imate_WWE_1.12_1.13_1.12.131.nb1 and follow Install steps
If anything goes wrong, please let me know. Good luck. John
im going to try it....
(idem to tam šupnúť...)
i believe i will be able to do it, becouse i was not able to do before with dumped rom on ftp...
Hi
I made a SD card as You wrote.
When I make a HR, I have clear dark screen with "Serial" on the top and "v 1.00" on the booteom of the screen.
What is wrong?
Thanks for help.
howto
@all,
please aid a novice:
-How do I mount "your own extrom" in total commander???
-What and how can I make changes then????
Thanks in advance

Recently got a M500 and trying your rom but the link posted my be dead. Can you upload it again. Thanks.
how to upgrade only Radio 1.13 ? i downloaded from ftp
MagicianRadio_1.13.00_maupgrade
currently, i using Qtek1.12ROM for o2mini..
Can i just run the setup file ? then do upgrade only radio part.
Is there a newest rom than mine ?
hi,
i just bought a mda compact with t mobile few day ago,
it look like this
ROM Version = 1.12.00 WWE
ROM Date 05/28/05
Radio version 1.12.00
Protocol version 1337.42
ExtRom 1.12.152 WWE
is anything that can be upgraded ?
and how can i get the 02 active GUI on it ?
or remove the Tmobile one ?
I did try to find the answers elswere but seam to be a tiny bit complex to find out. (probably my english
i used to be able to surf the internet over GPRS for free with the o2 payand go sim card, i still do with the 02 montly thought.
any one know more about it ?
1) Problem:
was running on 1.11 with extROM 1.03, wanted to upgrade to TMO 1.13 but there was a country id error.....so i did a hard reset and reset again b4 it run the autoconfig thing. then the extROM folder came up(which i think is the bigStorage thingy) and no more extROM. tried the upgrade again but same result...so i ran the cab files or watever u call those in the extROM folder 1 by 1. some of which i think was needed for my mini to run w/o any problem.....now extROM back running on 1.11. So how do i upgrade.
2) Queries:
if i were to clear the extROM folder by copying them into my PC/thumbdrive/CD(for safekeeping,in case something bad happens), then copy the important ones into my SD card and run them...can my mini still work?
Been playin around a little but still need a lot more to learn. Can some1 please educate me.
Thanx in advance.
hi,
There are two main thread's about upgrading to tmo 1.13
- upgrading to radio 1.13...
- tmo official 1.13...
You can find all the needed info there including a BS 1.13 rom available at the ftp & a patched shipped-rom also available on the ftp
Cheers, M
When I try to upgrade my i-mate JAM to a new special ROM from Kichen after a step this masage apears "Cannot execute the remote comunication program. Plese make sure that the USB/Serial cable is properly connected.
so guys plz help me urgent
Does the same error come up when you flash with a shipped-rom which hasn't been changed?
Does your device respond to any commands from the update program? If so, what happens on your device?
And what did you change in the rom?
As you probably guessed: I don't know an answer to this & i'm trying to figure out what is different in your setup compared to a regular update.
Regards, M
Thanx 2 reply
No dear every thing is OK When I try to update with shiped ROM it works 100% no problem. When I click in my computer the device is located and opens software installs nothing abnormal every thing is as usual, But when I try to update it with special ROM (got from Kichen that I like very much) the folowing masage appears
I guess that romkitchen isn't compatible with magician :-(. You can try to put in the GetDeviceDara.exe from a shipped-rom in the appropriate romkitchen folder, maybe it helps. Cause I love to see this working.
Good luck, M
Let me do it
The rom I got is for windows 2003 SE so I think it should work, now let me act your advise then i'll inform you.
regards
The same problem i have
I try to update one of my friends i-mate JAM in a dfrent PC but the same problem I got. I think the rom is not compatible with JAM. Do you know another ROM to work on my JAM like available in Kitchen???
Well I haven't experimented with RomKitchen & don't know what you want to achieve with it. Ext-roms can be edited with bal666's tool too & there are loads of different (not edited) ext-roms @ the ftp.
& of course there's the BIG Storage hack, with which you trade in the ext-rom for an enlarged internal Storage folder.
Haven't seen anyone yet who really edited the CE image :-(
M
Yes I tried but...
I tried big ROM but in 3rd stage the folowing masage appears "card incilize error" When it tries to back up ROM on SD card. I have MMC not SD Now may be this is cause or somthing other. Have you updated your device with big storage rom & is it OK???
If so I'll try again
I downloaded the ROM form this site http://www.romkitchen.de I updated one of my friends PPC from this site's Rom its performance is 50% increased. but mine (JAM) is not going to update
I did it with a patched shipped-rom :!: Follow this link & I think you should be able to manage http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade
RomKitchen is also on this forum, but I think it's for other devices. You can find it in the wiki.
Cheers, M
Ok let me do it
Thanks dear let me download and check it. One thing that my JAM is from i-mate & there is T-mobie ROM, but its for Magician so should I do it no problem? Will I be able to reload its shiped ROM that I have already. sorry for my broken english
Yes it's no problem to use another magician rom, use maupgradeut_noid.exe to bypass country id error. To flash your current shipped-rom back just follow the same procedure.
Be carefull to backup your current ext-rom cabs though, they do contain some operator specific settings for eg gprs, voicemail etc. You need to install some of them instead of the TMO ones present in the TMO 1.13WWE rom. You can use WinCE cabmanager (available on trial) to have a look inside the cabs & decide wich ones to use.
This is my list of the Dutch TMO 1.13WWE ext-rom cabs anyway:
BlueTooth patch:
BTHUSB_PATCH_AKU26.CAB
MMS:
CAB-Acrosoft-MMS-2.5.0.28-ENU-MagicianAKU2.6-13May06.CAB

Certificates:

Caller ID:
Caller_ID_Magician_T-Mobile_WWE_RC22.CAB
