fragged my mda_c with official update

Hi all,
yesterday, i thought it's a nice day to do the official german t-mobile 1.12 upgrade on my official german t-mobile mdac. It wasn't.
After the upgrade (no errors) the bootscreen shows:
no gsm, and only one Version number: 1.12.01 Ger
on the bottom line.
After it bootet, i get no gsm and no bluetooth working. When i connect by usb, active sync hangs for about 3-5 minutes. If i try to repeat the upgrade, i get something like wrong device, and it shows empty fields on the version screen. I tried to do the update by extracting the official update rar and start the update by MaUpgradeUT_noID.exe, but it says something like wrong device.
I tried this to the same with the 1.13 upgrade from the xda ftp, same thing. I tried a rombackup from sd-card that i found somewhere on the net, but the bootloader says wrong section=1 not allowed.
Is there anybody wo could help me to resurrect my poor little mdac?
Thanks alot,
J

Hi J.
Don't know how to solve all your problems with upgrading, but did you copy the first bytes of your own romdump to the downloaded rom? Otherwise your device won't accept it, you can find a lott about this in other threads. try searching for BigStorage and you will everything about rom upgrades.
Good luck, M

Upgrade your device with the imate rom 1.12 wwe using MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe ,it should work ,then try to upgrade to the german rom upgrade.
Good luck

ongoing revival
Ok, i tried that big storage thing, i replaced the id in the new image from my backup (broken) rom, and when trying to upgrade from sd-card, i get Section = 1 not allowed update.
I'm trying to upgrade the radio stack from the bootloader screen with MaUpgradeUT.exe, but it seems that the usb port doesn't work: for 10 minutes, the update screen stands at 0%, then an error appears:
Radio Rom Update Error.. i should reset, reconnect and retry.
Any more ideas? Is there a possiblity to do the normal "online" update (not via bootlaoder/backup-image) just from sdcard?
Please Help

J,
Last night I did a BigStorage in a very easy way. I followed the description in the thread about upgrading to radio 1.13. You'll have to unzip the shipped rom, decode nk.nbf it with dnbf. Then you replace the usual bit pattern and encode nk.nb1 again. After that you can use maupgrade with or without the noid function like a regular apgrade.
Hope it helps you, M

Problems with Radio Update!

Hi,
i have some problems with the radio update for magician.
my device is a vpa compact, i can flash this with all shippes roms but if i want to upgrade the radio stack, i become the error msg 100 - model id error. i have tried it with MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe but than, the update does not start and my vpc compact hang into the bootloader.
have somebody an solution for this probelm?
thx

yep,
leave your machine in bootloader modus, unplug usb, replug usb, start upgraderoutine again and everything should be fine. eslewise do the same procedure with maupgradeUTNOID from ftp.
good luck

Thx it works

you are welcome!

thx again, but its a little stupid.
first time i have tried it with the solution for error 120.
it likes your solution. i dont know why it work now :s
i have start the vpa compact in bootloader and without problems or error msg´s the upgrade started.
few days ago i have modified the ext_rom to big storage, perhaps that is because of it.

no radio-stack after rom-upgrade

Hi!
It's the first time I'm posting here, but after some days of search, I've found a lot about upgrading / downgrading, but nothing about my problem.
I've an MDAcompact / T-Mobile PM10A / Austria and tried to upgrade to BigStorage-Rom according this thread: " Magician to 1.13 + 1.13 Radio + BigStorage ALL-IN-ONE Guide ". I've backed up my original Rom, but after the flash, there was no radio-stack at all (booting device: "no GSM" on display).
I've tried to update the radio-stack again - error message: 114 - error upgrading radio-stack, the same with 1.12 and 1.13. I've tried to downgrade the rom to 1.12 - ok, but no radio-stack. I've tried to restore the original Rom via SD-card in bootloader-mode - device says: not allowed.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance!

did u try to use an origional rom? i mean a non Bigstorage rom upgrade ? because that should fix the problem ( atleast i think it shoud)
Try Downloading the origional t-mobile1.13 rom and upgrade ur device using that install file . If i am not mistaken the first thing that is upgraded is ur radio stack then the extended rom and finally the operating sytem ( if u upgraded u would see that it does it in 3 steps).

I've tried that. As soon, as I upgraded to the original rom from T-Mobile, it stopped at the radiostack-upgrade. After that, I opened the "original".exe-file from T-Mobile with winrar and tried to upgrade again, but without the "radio.nbf"-file, what was no problem. After that, I tried to update with the "radio.nbf"-file (stand alone) again, but the "error 114"-statement came up again.

I got this error before, but only because I flashed my device with the wrong ROM.
(...I once misread "Universal" as a meaning and not as a device codename, and flashed the wrong Radio stack. Thing worked, but radio invalid, no phone capabilities. Fortunately, a reflash with the correct radio ROM found here saved me. And my $300 investment. -.-)
Either the radio part of the ROM's accidentially corrupted (download again), or the radio driver is incompatible with your device hardware. I'm not aware of Minis being avaliable in anything other than GSM tho...

I downloaded the original rom-version from the official T-Mobile website. Fact was: up/downgrade of the rom itself "ms_.nbf/nk.nbf" no problem (I've extracted the exe-file via winrar to a folder and made that several times to up/downgrade), but update of the radio-stack "radio_.nbf" not possible, ended in error 114. The point is: as soon as I start the update-utility, it shows the "Device CE Image version", "Device Extended Image Version" but no "Device Radio Image Version", it looks like no radio-stack is installed at all.

I got that exact same error through the aforementioned Universal ROM debacle (-.-). Radio failed to flash, no radio at all.
There should be a standalone radio stack somewhere in the FTP for magician. I know I saved mine with the 1.12.00 version. Try flashing with that, there's a file inside that allows you to bypass the version detection IIRC (which allows a from-scratch flash). Flashing a standalone radio stack will hard reset your system, but otherwise will not touch anything else.

I need an expert here, its different this time, Stuck in bootloader..

Hey guys, i was upgrading the new NEW LvsW Edition: RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721 (AKU2.3) when I got stuck in the process of upgrading in the Dos screen. I had to restart my device. After that it would not load after the splash screen. I did a reset again and tried to upgrade to the Original WWE Qtec rom. At 95% it stops and gives me an error that a newer NBF file is necessary. What do i do?

Try to update with "new NEW LvsW Edition: RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721 (AKU2.3)"

I am struggling with the same problem here. I can get it back to life with upgrading os gsm extensions only. But then i can not make phonecalls and not sync with active sync. Also during boor GSM version is not shown. I gave up i am going to send it back to the Oange repair centre in Holland
Edit:
I tried all the roms available. Getting allways the same error; ERROR [326]

Is your set G3 or G4 and if G3 is it CID locked or Not?

try going to this ROM using the no ID utility upater I think it's in this folder
extract all the files in RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship.exe to one folder and then replace the ROMUpdateUtility-NoVendorID.zip to the olde folder, and then run it and update the ROM

M500 brick

Brother in law got a m500 with the original uk ornage rom on it. He downloaded an ornage upgrade from oranch.ch and started the upgrade process IN VISTA.
It went into bootloader mode and then came up with an error message.
When it resets now it goes through all the setup and installs all the software and customisations and then crashes back into bootloader mode.
we have tried all sorts of combinations now using my xp computer:
Using no_id with orange.ch rom, qtek, imate, tmobile rom, with USB on and off and also the tmobile radio upgrade too.
THe closest we can get is country id error when upgrading a rom.
On the radio upgrade it hangs at 0% giving error 114
Anybody got any ideas?
