Struck by an MDA brick!!

Made a huge error.....didnt go through forums and read instructions before trying to Flash a German T-Mobile MDA Compact to a English ROM....
The device is completely dead....
Followed all the steps required to get it back up...It is refusing to do so though....
Used this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=19500
One thing to note is that I am not using the AC charger, am using the USB cable to charge the phone.
Can someone please helpme...
Haven't got past the bootloader mode...

If you followed the instructions from the other thread, it should have started flashing.
Some things to check on:
1) Did you do a full d2s before you attempted the upgrade? It's always good to have something to fall back on.
2) If you can get to a bootloader screen, all is definitely not lost.
3) Sometimes, it takes 4 or 5 minutes for the "Press to flash" comes up on the screen so be patient with that.
4) Make sure you did exactly a 416 byte copy from the original rom file in to the new flash file.
5) You can only write an nb1 file from the pc AFTER it has been created from the pocket pc. If the SD card has been pc formatted, the nb1 file will write to it but the pocket pc won't recognize it and will just sit there at the bootloader screen.
HTH

I think I fired the MDA
Well I did not create the nbf file from the ppc, downloaded it from the the forum FTP. I do not have the backup of the nbf file. As I mentioned I did not read the forums before trying the update.
I just downloaded the T-Mobile ROM update and tried installing it. Obivousioly it didn't work, Game the dreaded the 112 error in the 3rd step.
Am not even getting the bootlader screen now..
Any ideas on how I can get this device up and running.?...

ok, need some clarification here. "What" are you trying to load (nbf files or nb1 files) and how are you trying to load them (SD flash or the standard USB based upgrade)?
Easy enough to check to see if your device can still get to bootload mode....hold the camera and power switches in at the same time and hit soft reset with your stylus. After letting go of those and you see either "Serial" or "USB" at the top of the screen, you should still be able to recover from this.

Tried with the nb1 files not nbf (sorry abt teh error)..
The bootloader screen was showing up ...unitll I tried the T-Mobile MDAcompact_vers11201
After the 112 error while updating...the device now refusing to get to the bootloader mode.
Have I fried the device and made it unusable....?

hey just got back the bootloader screen...

Take the SD card out, disconnect the USB and tell me what happens when you hold the power and camera buttons in at the same time, then hit the soft reset.
Also, has the unit been charged recently?

Its showing Serial v1.00...after the reset.
Its been on the USB chatge all along.....

Great. If you get Serial at the top, this can be recovered.
If you want a good T-Mobile 1.12 rom file, go here and use this one:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Magician/tmobile-uk_wwe_ROM_1.12.00(thereapermanl).rar
Unpack it and follow all the procedures about copying the 416 bytes, rewriting the file, etc. from the other thread. I have tested this rom file and it installs ok.

Thanks for the encouraging words...
Will it work even if I do not have a backup of the original ROM on my machine?....I only have the tmobile.nb1 file which I got from the XDA forums.
Lemme try using that and editing it.
Thanks a ton for your help.

You might be a little stuck for an nb1 flash if you don't have an original flash back up but don't fear. You can go here and get this WWE1.12 file and just do a USB type upgrade:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Magician/Shipped_ROMS/WWE_11200_128_11210_ship.exe
I know this one works too. It's ROM 1.12, Radio 1.12 and Ext_ROM 1.12. When you try to run the upgrade program though, it might give you a Country ID error. If so, use the attached upgrade program instead. If this one gives you a Country ID error again, close the program and just run it again. I've been down all these roads already.

Lemme get this right this time: I will be doing the following
1. Install the ROM as you have mentioned. With the country id hack if necessary
2. Hopefully by now the device would be alive. If so will take a backup of the ROM on the SD card
3. From then on follow the instruction given in the doc.
Hope I get it righ this time else Its going to be a long night for me.
Lemme know if I have to do anything else.

Either ROM will work fine for you. It just depends on whether or not you want I-Mate stuff on it or T-Mobile stuff on it.
Doing the USB upgrade will put the I-Mate ROM on but after that, it should be working and you can then do an SD backup, follow the SD flashing procedures and get the T-Mobile ROM on.
Good Luck!

The masupgrateut is throwing up a ruu.dll error?...you seen that one before?

What sort of error? Not found?

yup...
I extracted the ROM exe and found teh file...copied it to the windows folder..and ran the no id program...no error this time round but the update is still giving a COuntry ID error...
Been looking at various posts...specially this one...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=14973
Thinks thats gonna help?

ok...two things.....just run it again. The no ID program sometimes does that on the first time 'round so just run it again.
Second, stick this at the end of the RUU.conf file:
[CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1

ran the program multiple times...still getting the COuntry ID error...

Are you running this program? MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
...with the change in the RUU.conf file?

I just noticed something....did you extract all the files to a single directory and just run it from there or did you just pull a few out?
ALL the files have to be in the same directory. This is also where you need to execute the installer program.

Newbie wants the BIG STORAGE Imate Jam!!!

Hi, very new on here and very new to the Pocket PC and Imate JAM. I have read allot about backing up ROM and process to get big storage hack but almost everything I read is way over my head. Like what is the extended ROM?? Ssooooo, can someone take all of the latest TIPS and show me the BEST and EASIEST way to upgrading my Imate JAM??? I still have the original ROM but would like to upgrade to the newest 1.12 ROM and 1.12 Radio ROM. I then would like to know how to keep some Imate specific programs installed like Intellitype.(I dont use MMS) PLEASE!!! I will even paypal someone some money for providing this BASIC elementary school level BIG STORAGE upgrade. Please dont assume anything about my level of knowledge as it is VERY basic. Thanks in advance for taking on this challenge. By the way, in the end I would want the latest Imate JAM WWE ROM and Radio in English.(I live in United States and use T-mobile on the 1900mhz band)

bump bump bump

Ok... I think you won't get many replies, because what you are looking for has already been posted here many times. The big problem is that the info could indeed be burried inside very huge threads, so it will take a lot of reading to find it. But I'll try to summarize...
You will need to download the latest ROM for your Magician. Most likely you will want to stay with the ROM specifically designed for your device, for example from I-Mate. That way at least you can perform the ROM upgrade without any fuzz.
Log on to I-mate (or whatever) and download the latest ROM. Reboot both the PC and the Magician and execute the installer. After about 20 minutes, you are done.
You'll want to have access the Extended ROM, where all the standard settings and programs are stored. To do that, you will have to copy Extended ROM to a safe place, because when you have done the Big Storage thing, Extended ROM is gone, and so are these files. In order to get to the Extended ROM, you'll have to:
Hard reset the device after the ROM upgrade, as you are told on screen when the upgrade is finished. This means pushing the power button, while using the stylus on the reset button, located at the bottom of the device. The Magician resets and the setup routine begins. You are asked to perform calibration of the screen and time zone, before the OS is ready to run. Then, a few seconds after you see the Today screen, a 3 seconds countdown appears. At this exact moment you must perform a reset, which simply means pushing the button with the stylus again, this time without using the power button. Now the device will restart without installing files from Extended ROM, and more importantly, without hiding the Extended ROM.
Connect the Magician to the PC using ActiveSync and copy the folder Extended_ROM, located at root, to your SD card and make a backup on your PC. You are now technically ready to take on Big Storage...
But! Beware that If your skills are at the level you suggest, you may end up killing your Magician, instead of gaining Big Storage. This has happened to a lot of people, who then had to struggle their way into getting their device functioning again. Be absolutely sure that you are willing to take the risk, because you may end up cursing yourself for doing this.
Still happy going on? Ok... What's coming next is my edit of other peoples work, so I don't take any credit for it. Unfortunately I don't remember who wrote it either...
You will need to download and install the 'Backup Tools1' found on the FTP part of this forum, to perform the following steps. ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/Tools/
Backing up your current ROM:
Make sure you backup your ROM for 2 reasons. Firstly, because you will need to edit part of your ROM in order to be able to flash your Magician with the no extended ROM, and secondly, because you might need it either for flashing your phone in case of a malfunction so you can send it back under warranty with the original ROM, or for helping you to flash future upgrades.
Backing up your ROM can be done by connecting your Magician to the PC through the data cable when you first uncheck the USB connection of active sync.
If your Magician connects with ActiveSync because you didn't uncheck the USB connection in the active sync connection settings then you will not be able to backup your ROM to an SD memory card.
1. Before connecting your Magician you should bring it into the boot loader mode. This can be done by simultaneously pressing power + camera buttons and at the same time the soft reset button with the stylus.
2. After connecting your Magician to the PC through the USB in boot loader mode and having your SD card inserted into the Magician, you run romupdate.exe.
3. Then choose the USB connection in the connection settings of romupdate.exe window and click on ok. After that a terminal window will popup in that window.
4. Type d2s and press enter. Your Magician will start copying the ROM to the sd card. The screen of your Magician will be dark (no light), but you will see it counting up to 100%. When it reaches 100% it will say it is calculating the checksum. Give it some time till its done and it will say checksum ok.
5. After finishing the transfer of your ROM from your Magician to the SD card, put your SD card into an SD card reader connected to your pc. Your pc might pop up a warning message that says your SD Card is not formatted would you like to format? Click No and open a Command prompt (DOS) window.
6. Change directory to your root directory (cd c:\) and run the command ntrw read your_rom.nb1 x: where x is the drive letter of your sd card. That command will create the ROM Backup file of your ROM into your C drive root directory by the name of your_rom.nb1. Make sure you keep your_rom.nb1 in a safe place and use a copy of that file for the rest of the procedure. Note that after finishing the copy from your SD card to your_rom.nb1 file ntrw might give you an error, just don’t pay attention to it.
Patching you ROM:
1. Use Hex Editor to open the your_rom.nb1 file on your PC
2. Use the FIND function to locate "02 00 00 80 00 20 20 00 00" and change it to "02 00 00 b8 01 20 20 00 00". Note that this is a hex search, not ascii, so enter the search as 'Bytes'. You will find this pattern twice inside your ROM, and both should be changed.
Transferring your no extended ROM File from your hard disk to the sd card:
1. Get the fixed no extended ROM file to your C drive root directory run the command ntrw write fixed.nb1 x: in the command prompt window where fixed.nb1 is the filename of your fixed ROM and x the SD card drive letter. Wait till it finishes and move to the final step.
Flashing the Fixed no extended ROM to your Magician:
1. Put your SD card into your Magician and get your Magician to boot loader mode again (power+camera+reset buttons). On your unlighted screen you will see it says serial wait and after some seconds it will say (Press Power to flash).
2. Do as it says and it will start flashing. When your Magician reaches 100% flashing, it will check the checksum. Don't worry about the message Checksum failed - Flashing failed and soft reset your Magician. Please notice that the first boot may take something like 5 minutes, so don't worry about it.
When your device reboots, you now have a Big Storage Magician! If you need parts of the Extended ROM installed, like fax, MMS or whatever, you can simply click on the files inside the Extended_ROM folder you backed up earlier and they will install.
My guess is that by now you will have realized that there IS no easy way to get the Big Storage. Even though it sounds harder than it is, it does take some time and care to perform right.
There are other ways to do Big Storage, but this is the clean way. You don't have to rely on patchers, and you won't have your boot screen turned into something that another user think looks cool. This is the real deal with only 4 bytes getting changed, and you know for sure you'll have the right Extended ROM available as a backup, and that is as good as it gets!

WOW!! This is excellent and very well done. I am glad to be learning so much about these ROM's. Two questions before I tackle this(I know Im such a newbie)
Give me a couple days and I will report back on my progress.

Magician Extended Rom Unlocker Works!!!
Wow major thanks & god bless -- exactly follow your simple directions (add final reboot blue imate screen takes awhile) and wow - its done - now to change my pants....

After a few hours of struggling I finally got it working!!
Thanks HBK

:shock: wow...am imperessed...thanx HBK..
It's not a matter of not knowing how to make big storage (i've already did it a couple of times :wink: ),but the issue here is that u wrote a "manual"!!!!
thanx bro...hell am gonna copy every word u said and add it to my archive under "HBK big storage manual"... :wink:
Thanx again for ur time!!!!!

Hi all,
Another newbie here, just wanted to checked before I tried this upgrade, but will this work on my XDA II mini?
Im soooo sick of having no memory, so I hope it is!
Deva

hey just a quick question thatnls a lot for the write up
what size sd card do you have to use
i used a 256 (only have that or a 1gig one) and the boot loader comes up with a message rom size too small

I tried using my 1 gig card and the hex editor wouldn't open it as it was too large (The rom will be the same size as your card). I then found the patch to automatically apply the big storage and it worked a treat. I don't have a 256 but I heard a fair few people use it for their upgrades....

HBK is the king. He's danish

good going babyy.. *thumbs up*..
i cant wait to reach home and try the procedure...

after waiting for so long, i finally got home, and sat down to install bigstorage by my new 256 mb card... but the problem isnt solved... why does it say 'card initialize is fail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'.. maaan im soo fuked..

SD 128MB
It was almost the same with me? some errors with my SD 512 Kingston (back up done well, asking push the power, but after romupdate & ntrw nothing happen ), after the card died, was finding another one about friends. It was 128 mb Trancend good one. I did it with my 12.128.12 on MDA-Compact? then upgraded radio till 13 about month ago!

when i try to copy my modifiedrom.nb1 to the SDcard through ntrw... it says... 'the semaphore timeout period has expired'... wot does it mean?.. had it not copied rom to the sd card?... or shud i just ignore it.??.. reply as soon as possible..

Just wanted to know can this method of changing the hex code work on all the ROMs, like even ones that may be released in the future?? Or does the Hex code change for ech ROM version??
And what actually are you doing when you change 02 00 00 80 00 20 20 00 00 to 02 00 00 b8 01 20 20 00 00??

Will this work for the imate JasJar?
Sorry, to ask such a basic question, but this is all very new to me. I've been reading the site for the past week or so trying to get a handle on all the information. I definately want to remove the EXT_ROM from my JasJar to free up as much memory as possible. Will the procedure listed above (HUGE Thanks to HBK) work for my iMate JasJar? Thanks.
P.S. I do realize that this is a "JAM" thread, sorry for the overlap. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what is meant by "cooking" (which I'm guessing means "modifying"). Any help is definately appreciated.

card initialize is fail!!!
Hi guys, i also got the same prob with Castiwo ..card initialize is fail!!! i used SD 128MB Sandisk.. how to work it out? many tks

I've got a question. I understand that if you did the BigStorage patch, and then you restored from a backup when you didn't have the BigStorage patch, you'd have only wasted your time getting the BigStorage as everything would be over-written.
So here's my question. Does it work the other way around? I mean, if for example you had a backup (from Sprite, xBackup, or whatever else software) from where you had a BigStorage patch, then you restore from that backup onto a Magician with the original, unpatched ROM, would it work?

Need Help Restoring Original ROM (from Backup)

Hi All, I am after advice on how to get my original ROM back.
I upgraded to MksBiGStorage, and following the instructions I backed up my original ROM first.
My original ROM is on my Hard Drive but I think because I used a 1Gb SD card to back it up with ntrw.exe, it is 1Gb in size.
I was hoping I could just use ntrw.exe and transfer my 1Gb backup ROM back to my SD card again using ntrw.exe and then hard reset my phone and it would see the ROM and install it - BUGGER, that doesnt seem to work.
Can anyone tell me how to get my backed up ROM back onto my phone? Or does anyone have the Original Orange UK SPV m500 ROM I could download and install?
Desperately want my original phone back - Please help guys, you are my only hope. (I Sound like Princess Leah asking Obi-Wan).

guess i'm Yoda then
Think you put the rom after your sd's mbr with ntrw. To solve this do the following steps:
- create a romdump of your current rom, you know how don't you?
- now copy your backup rom on the sd without formatting it.
romupdate has overwritten the sd's mbr and ntrw will happily write the backup.nb1 image at the start position of your sd.
Now your magician should be able to se the image.
Also you cashrink your backup image extremely. Open the mksbigstorager romimage in hexedit go to the last byte and get the address and bytes. Now open your backup, go to the same address and look for the same bitpattern as it is very recognizable this shouldn't give a problem.
Now delete all the bytes behind them & you're left with a handy 64Mb image
Good luck, M

I dont mean to sound ungreatful for your reply, but I have no idea what you mean.
I only have one backup of my old ROM, and that is the 1Gb file on my hard drive.
Can you give me a step by step procedure for restoring it?
If I understand correctly, you are saying to backup my (not wanted) mksbigstorage ROM again to SD (which will write the MBR to the SD.
Then, copy my original ROM back to the SD using ntrw, then try and insert my SD back into my device and it will work?
Is that right?

Yes that's right the rom-dump will overwrite/destroy the mbr. After that write the old 1Gb file on the same sd without formatting it, then it will work.
I'll post the steps to cut the 1Gb to 64Mb later as I need access to my PC for details on it. I did it myself as BS 1.13 on the ftp is my image and around 64Mb in size & mksbigstorager can do it too only that will do it with the BS patch & manually you get it without.
first thing is to get your old-rom on your device so start dumping ;-)
Regards, M

oltp, thanks for your help man. I am currently transferring my ROM to the SD.
Where abouts in NL are you from? I love NL - You guys rock
If ever I get the chance I will retire/emigrate in the Netherlands. Love it.

Just inserted card, and it says its trying to update the ROM.
MANY, MANY THANKS for taking the time to answer my questions.
I really appreciate it.... YODA!

You're welcome I'm just the messenger in this, someone else 'discovered' the mbr problem & posted it here.
Glad it works for you too.
Regarding the of the world I'm from the home of cannabis (Amsterdam) & live now near the city from 'a bridge to far' (Arnhem). Love it here too near the forests etc. Somehow the Dutch get a lot of bad credits lately in the news so it's nice to read that there are people liking Holland. So thank you & I guess you're device is ready for use by now.
Cheers, M

Absolutely spot on.
Once again, thanks for your help - I had almost given up.
I hope this helps others out aswell who need to revert back to the original ROM.
Regarding the 1Gb file, there are a couple of people in another thread of mine who obviously didnt back their ROM up and are asking for the original Orange UK ROM for download.
Is it safe to upload the ROM I have for them? I dont understand why its not downloadable anywhere on the net at the moment?
I will happily upload this ROM for others if its not going to cause licensing issues or invalidate my ROM at all.
I took a look at using the HexEdit program and think I know what I need to do, but selecting all the bytes after the address seems to take AGES! FOREVER.
Thanks again for your time oltp, I am well chuffed

Excuse me for my bad English, you better select to first 64Mb & save that part in a new file don't forget to include those footer bytes.
When you don't want people to get your device id, just replace those first 416bytes with a looping 'please put your own 416bytes here' or something simular. Must work don't you think?
I just uploaded mine as I hope, guess, belief they're not able or willing to backtrack me in the coming 18 months. Then my contract ends & I probably get a new 'phone'.
So pls upload your shrunken & zipped image you can pls a lot of others with it.
Cheers, M

Issues loading WM6 rom

I've tried installing the file using the bootloader method countless times now and every time I get a coloured screen with "Serial" at the bottom and some text up the top.
I've tried the card as it was when I got it, Tried it formatted FAT32 with windows, tried it formatted with Resco on the device, etc. It's definitely FAT32.
When I open any of the 3 .exe files from Palm in winzip or winrar there are two .nbh files (CHEEIMG.nbh and CHEEIMG_FW.nbh) one is ~263kb and one is ~85MB.
From everything I have read so far I ignore the correctly named small one (CHEEIMG.nbh) and copy the big one (CHEEIMG_FW.nbh) to the SD card - once thats done I rename it to CHEEIMG.nbh and I should be good to go - start the bootloader and it should work but it's just not happening.
Am I missing something? I just can't get it to work. I've tried the 3, vodafone and generic (ROW) files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT:
I'm currently running TREO750-1.15-ROW
Firmware: 1.27.3b.00
Cheers

As far as I understand all this you have to run Hard-SPL first, otherwise your device won't load "foreign" roms.

hmm ok I'll try that but since it's a ROW to ROW update I thought it's not a foreign ROM?

I think you can flash all official and leaked without Hard-SPL... It's needed for cooked roms.

surely I shouldn't need it for the bootloader method?
Anyone got any ideas that may help me upgrade?

Please help with ROM flashing [Asus P320]

I had the prob same as u.
What I did was installed 4.15 WWE than tried to upgrade to WM6.5 from 4.10ZHH WM6.1, and the errors came out.
I even had the paragraph saying
"This concludes the beta test of this
software release. Thank you very much for
your time and effort in helping make this a
great product for our customers.
To obtain a newer release or futher
information,please revisit the web site that
you used to obtain your current beta
release."--------then it got stuck and the only buttons that worked were the volume and reset buttons. And I thought its done that all I could do was to sell it.
But then I split the 850_GAX_SD_Enc.bin(which was from a different language 4.15 zip,referring above), the following came up:
850_gax_sd.bin
GSM.BIN
FLASH.BIN
EXT_ROM.NB0
and others, but I only copy these 4 into SD card cause they were the things that stated "can'"t find"' and I couldnt find galaxymini-ond and GSM.RAM.....and yes I did put 850_gax_sd.bin in instead of the capital one(accidentally!!!cus i thought they were the same, but apparently not...ANYWAY I DID!)
then i inserted the card, flash reset(volume down + reset) it,
it took quite a while to install(abt 10-15 mins)
like u said a pure white screen occurred and it frozen.
then I press the switch on button on top and restart the device...
the old version came up again with 4.15ZHH and WM 6.1 (green) and everything got back to default just like the very first day I bought it.
this is all i did, i think the different between us was that i used a different language of 4.15 and the 850_gax_sd.bin..... not very sure on yours but it worked on mine somehow... I'm not an expert on computer and programmes stuff, and i really cant tell if errors are still left in the device after what i did, so beware of this prob if you follow.
