NM8Magician - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading

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!!!!

Note: ExtROM with Arabizer...
Best regards,,,
nice work thanx alot
ehh
is this a full rom? can i install it on my t-mobile ? and would it completly update my mda compact?
:shock:
Can some body get the password for the ROM files...
Hmmm…. Had no success yet getting out password to open Ms.nbf. But I found that we can upgrade Radio.nbf. So extract jam ROM to a folder delete Ms.nbf and NK.nbf and start Himaupdate.exe . The process of radio upgrade will appear. Anyway I installed the jam rom thru SD earlier. So finally I have radio updated. Lets wait until the password unlock, than it will be like before!

how to use it ?

Total noob seriously confused

Ok, there is a hell of allot of info on this site concerning updating the rom on the mds/qtek/imate etc.
all i wanna do is update my rom on my mda compact (unlocked, UK english) to the current best rom available, everything im reading here is from people allready half way through the process, trying to unlock the phone, trying to get round the country lock or freeing up the extended rom.. damn this is confusing...
when i do a soft reset the info i get is:
R:100.10
G:1337.36
D:1.01.00 WWE
what i need is an intro / idiots guide to this process, i wanna keep the extended rom.. just want the best rom at the moment...
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
err, yeah, turned out to be a peice of p*ss
ive flashed pdas before and consider myself VERY technical, but this forum is so confusing that it reduced me to a total noob level.
anyway.. my mda compact UK is now a nice 1.06 imate jam
gravy.
ok i tell you with the very simply way to unlock your ( and update your mda) go to ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/Shipped ROM upgrades/JAM_WWE_106_110_10500.exe get this file to your C:\ after downloading the file extract this exe ( with winrar www.rarlab.com) left click on it and extract to a folder named every you want ( new rom ) here you will sew ms.nbf , nk.nbf , radio_.nbf, MaUpgradeUt.exe and other files after that you will download the file ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/MaUpgradeUt_noID.rar, after finish the downloading repace the MaUpgradeUt.exe of your original file (new rom) with the noID.exe double click on MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and in 30 minutes you will have a new I-Mate jam with new rom....

Need to get back to WWE!

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?

Downgrade Radio 1.13.00 to 1.12.00?

Hi Guys,
sorry for my english, it´s not the best!
After searching for hours, i have to post this Topic.
I have an xda mini from O2. I have flashed the Radio Version to
1.13.00. I´m unsatisfied with this Version. I think the audio quality
is not so good. Anyway.
How can i downgrade the Radio Version 1.13.00 to the Radio Version
1.12.00?
Please help me.
Greetz
You should be able to downgrade in the same as you upgraded. Only now supply the 1.12 radio, eg from a 1.13WWE rom.
Haven't tried it myself, but this must be the way to do it. Otherwise you need to reflash your whole rom with a shipped-rom or rom-image containing the 1.12 radio and your current (GER I think) CE & ext-rom.
Regards, M
1. Download a ROM for your Magician (O2) containing Radio 1.12.
2. Extract it to a folder using WinRar or whatever. Now you have a folder containing 3 big files and a lot of small files.
3. Keep the big file named Radio and delete the other two.
4. Run the .exe file and only your radio will be flashed.
ok it works. thank u guys. Puh

I need a little clarity for the upgrade/downgrade process

Hi,
I have been on this site for about a week now. I was drawn here by the desire to take my Imate JamIn up to WM6.
So I pulled from the web the file:
RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID_QTEK and hurled it onto my PDA
It went from Imate to QTEK but still worked pretty well. So I then went and loaded Upgrade Happy from a site in Roumania.
This loaded but was distinctly unimpressive and unstable so I managed to downgrade to the WM5 file above again.
Then I tried Smart1's v2 WM6 file and this went on OK. However, I have experienced a few issues with the battery and other things like Timewizard, etc.
So I have gone back to the NVID_QTEK WM5 file again.
BUT I would really like to put back on my Imate ROM which I have stored away. Sadly, whenever I try and load the ROM it states that the version is lower and I can only do an UPGRADE ( I get a 286 error).
I have searched here and Google and think that I can Un CID my phone (not actually sure what this does mind). I have read posts suggesting that once done I can load any version of any Prophet ROM on my PDA.
I went off and ended up on PDAMobiz and pulled down a file called:
PDAMobiz.com_ProphetAKU2_unlockCID.rar
But this site is incredibly slow and the file is corrupt when I finally get it down.
Can anyone explain to me whether it is possible to get to reload my earlier ROM version Imate ROM? If it is can anyone explain what I need to do and perhaps put up a link to an area where I can pull the tools down.
This website has a great reputation for helping each other out and I am sure that my ignorance will be forgiven,
Kind Regards,
Sam.
Hi
This is because you have upgraded your ipl/spl and these can't be downloaded.
But don't worry it's not a problem
if you have the original rom you should have a .nbf file?
You can use typho5.exe -x xxx.nbf (whatever it is called) this will extract the individual elements (ipl/spl/os/extrom/radio/splash screens) as .nb files.
Then use nb2nbf to build a new nbf file without spl/ipl parts. copy this file back to your backup folder (rename the original one first) and install again
Good Luck
Thanks - I have just a couple more dumb questions...
FlykThewiz,
Many thanks for your help.
I have the file:JAMin_WWE_213923_2139123_022021_shi.exe
Do you know how I get the .NBF out of it?
Also,
You couldn't point me to the tools you mention could you?
If I do what you said then do I get back my own Imate Splash screen too?
Do you know if I will suffer any problems with things being different versions?
Once again many thanks I will let you know how I get on.
Kind Regards,
Sam.
You can use winrar (free download - search google if you don't have it) to extract the files in your exe.
One of the file will be the nbf.
I will sort out the instructions for you but I have to go out for a couple of hours at the moment.
T H A N K Y O U
flykthewiz,
You are simply The MAN
Many, Many thanks,
Sam.
I don't know about being the man - i had the same problem myself.
Attached is a zip file with the two tools you need.
I suggest you create a folder called c:\rom and copy the contents of your exe file and these to programs into it.
goto a dos cmd window and cd \rom
type "typho5 -x nk.nbf" (no quotes)
you will then have a number of *.nb files in c:\rom
rename nk.nbf to nk.org
send me the list of nb files you have.
ZIPPED with winzip 12
Hi flykthewiz
is 92000000-Splash.nb is the imate pic when softreset
cause am using AKU3.3.13.ASERG after I unlocked my Jamin with RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID .... and want to go back only for the Imate screen instead of QTEK, and can I flash with it only
thanks
Splash Screens
There are two splash screens - the one you mention is the first (often blank)
The second is 9d000000-xxx.nb this is the one that is displayed most of the time when the phone is booting. To enter this in nb2nbf you need to manually enter "HTC Logo" as the image name.

FlykTheWiz,
Thanks for the tools.
The files I have are as follows:
30/03/2007 13:50 59,768,832 80040000-OS_0.nb
30/03/2007 13:50 786,432 91000000-SPL_1.nb

16/09/2005 12:20 53,248 nb2nbf.exe
13/03/2006 19:09 784,972 typho5.exe
I have loaded up the nb2nbf file but have no idea what to do with it - The only option appears to be for a Tornado...
Thanks,
Sam.
Ok
fill in nb2nbf like the image in the attached zip file.
Important notes:
1. use the ... browse buttons to select your files and the length field will be filled in for you (the image shows mostly zeros)
2. the image name for the extended rom is Extension Rom (not Extended) and you have to type it manually - its not in the drop dow list.
3. the start address for OS.nb is 80040000 (not 82040000 which the program defaults to)
4. you need to manually type HTC Logo in image type - its not in the list.
Do not add the ipl and spl files! (these are the ones that are causing your problems)
When its all filled in click on Translate and when that is finished exit the program.
If you have copied all of the contents of your extracted exe to c:\ROM you should have a program called ROMUpdateUtility.
Connect your pda to usb and run this program and follow the instructions (you've done this before )
After its finished your phone will hard reset and you should have your original ROM.
It doesnt matter that ipl and spl are different versions
Good Luck

Nearly there
FlykTheWiz,
Many thanks for the instructions. I have done what you suggested with NB2NKF
However, When I try to run my RUU utility I get error code 238 Cannot Read the file.
I extracted all files into a single directory and replaced the default .NBF with my new one. Then ran the RUU tool.
Am I being a numpty?
Many thanks,
Sam.
hmmm
Try the appropriate RUU from the attached
If your ipl ends in .000 use G3 version
if ends in .0001 use G4 version
T H A N K Y O U
I would just like to thank you for your kindness and patience. I have now got the HTC device reblown to the original condition that I started from (with the exception of the IPL/SPL).
Using the G4 utility worked for me.
On the way I have learned a great deal and appreciate your assistance.
Thank you very much,
Sam.
No problem at all
flyk (definitely) thewiz !!!
Flykthewiz... Many thanks for your input to this thread... your tutorial has helped me (and many of us) more than almost ANY other on this site!!! You are obviously very knowledgeable in this "art"!!!!
Since we have not seen much input from Jesterz or Smart1 lately (I can understand that it is time-consuming...!) , can I suggest that maybe you could take up the reigns and offer to this community your first Prophet ROM build??? (Any +AKU base will be a help??)
Please do consider doing this - I *know* you can do this and although I appreciate it can take a lot of your personal time and effort to achieve.. I am sure that your contribution will be appreciated and valued by us all, if u were to attempt such a project!!?
If not, we do understand... but please stay around here and continue to help us all with your flykth-wiz-dom!!!

Thanks for your vote of confidence, but I have to say - you must be joking
I only started looking at modifying ROM's 2 days ago and it is a minefield. I have absolutely every respect for Jesterz, Smart1, Nghianha, and all of the guys over at PDAMobiz. I think it will be a long while before I am anything like of their calibre!
