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...

Sadly it didn't
When I tried the using the browser I got this;

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

hi
I'm a newbie to PocketPC, I just bought an used PocketPC from my friend.
It's a T-mobile MDA Compact with O2 mini traditional chinese firmware. All the menu, everything is in chinese. The problem is...i can't really read chinese.
It maybe a dumb question! But i just wonder can any PPC experts here show me "Step by Step" how to flash it to an English ROM?
thanks everyone very very much!!
Cora. ^^
1. Download any Magician WWE ROM (latest is ver 1.13) and the file MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe from this board's ftp.
2. Extract the zip file and copy MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to the same folder where you extracted the ROM.
3. Disable the USB connection in ActiveSync.
4. Put you MDA in bootloader mode (press power+camera+resest at the same time.
4. Plug in your MDA to the USB cable.
5. Double click on the file MaUpgradeUt_noID.
I have followed the steps... After run the "MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe", and click "NEXT"... then.. It says "Checking the information on your device... Please wait... " i have waited over 10mins, but still nothing happened. Wonder is there anything i have done wrong?? thx
Cora.
FINALLY... it's working!!
THX THX everyone!!

Hi there,
I would suggest you go hunt around in the forum as your queries has been repeated.
Maybe you would like to try these few steps. (Must have ActiveSync installed)
1. Search in this forum for roms (WM 6.0, WM 6.1, WM 6.5)
2. Download SOFTSPL (search in this forum)
3. Extract the files and put it to root of your phone (next to windows folder)
4. Run SPL.ink from your prophet (Using File Explorer)
5. Screen should turn white
6. Extract the files from the ROM package you downloaded at Step 1.
7. Run ROM update file.
8. Once done, phone will reboot and viola ~
9. A new OS is running in your prophet
Hi Sunset,
I have roamed around the other post also , but not be able to understand.
your 1st step : u r talking about the wm6 download (exe)
2nd step: what is SOFTSPL (need to download 1st in phone)
3rd: which root folder u r talking about
4th: where i can find the SPL.ink
6th: need to run the exe from i have downloaded in phn at step 1?
7th where i will find the ROM updated file
sorry , I dont have any idea of these things, Pls explain me it would be better for me and post a link for step1 and 2

the thread explains it quite well
The Wiki is your guide
Always try the wiki first and read two three times what the methods say and follow slowly that should help you on most of the things mate.
That still fails for Imate Jammin G3
I tried those steps for Imate Jammin G3
After the screen turns white, i run the G3 UPDATEEXE from the computer.
It fails as it couldnt connect.
When i remove and plug back the usb cable from the phone i hear the sound - which indicates the connecitivity.
I have to do soft reset to start the Windows Mobile again
Note : i am trying to Upgrade WM 5.0 to WM 6.1
hy all
i m new in this good forum
i have a dell axim x51v a04 spanich rom and i want to change the language to french but no way because the official upgrade wont let to do this because of differnt language
please help me
ftp://ftp.us.dell.com/utility/R115113.EXE
From the Dell FTP site, French, or did you already try this?
As i'm guessing you did, try this:
So I took a risk - I downloaded the A06 ROM update for ENGLISH and of course normally trying to run this package produces the error that my Axim was a different language and not allowing me to continue.
However, what I did was first download the French ROM updater package and take it to just before the stage where it is about to flash the ROM (sorry, can't remember exactly which screen this is but it would have definitely been after it does its check for language compatibility) and while the software is paused at this stage expecting user input to continue, rename and copy over using windows explorer on XP the actual A06 ENGLISH ROM file ie. make the English ROM file the same as the software is expecting the French one to be. Then go back to the flash updater and let it continue.
thanks for your replay
your trick seems to work but when the ppc reboot and enter flash mode, iget an error on my pc and wmdc close. i think that is due to my windows 7 x64 that is incompatible with dell system upgrade.
and if iwant to use the sd card te change the os language this will be easy?
thanks again
