I've downloaded the nb1 file from the xda ftp server. Now, how do i go about upgrading via USB?
ps. the nb1 file is the latest big storage rom
thanks
I'd say read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=46628 & the wiki.
It should tell you enough

Uploaded. brand spanking new T-Mobile UK MDA compact ROM
(Now in the magician uploads sectiom)
R 1.12.00
G 1337.42
D 1.12_WWE
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Magician/
Full rom extracted using romupdate to 256mb SD card and extracted from the card using ntrw.exe. MDA was brand new unused and this rom has not been modified in any way.
Anyone tried this ROM? T-Mobile have had the most stable ROMS in the past ...
Maybe you misunderstood, this ROM was extracted from a brand new MDA compact that I took delivery of on Friday. It is not a modified ROM or a Qtek, its a genuine T-Mobile ROM on an MDA compact part no 99HAK026-00.
I extracted it wth romupdate.exe, copied from my sd card (256MB) using ntrw.exe and ftp straight up.
downloaded half of it last night but can't seem to download the rest today - please share again

Hi
So many people downloaded it that it blew my download bandwidth limit with my hosting company. I'll copy it to the ftp.xda-developers.com site, probably best place for it anyway.
Where abouts on the ftp site have you put it, and whats it called?
Thanks
Uploading it now to the uploads section, should be there in a few minutes
i cant find it too.
Cant wait to get it though!
Don't suppose T-mobile have applied the BigStorage hack by any chance??!!
Joking aside- thanks for taking the time to upload it Bobster.
thanks for sharing this.
At least someone has been good enough to since its quite clear T-mobile have no intentions of providing any updates to current users.

Few minutes is a good joke.... ;-) 256 MB are quite a much off stuff....
An other question is, why uploading twice? One time in the Upload folder and one time in the upload/Magician folder....
I'm going to split the file in the right size and will move it then in the Magician folder.....

sorry for being a complete noob, but how do i install this .nb1? Last time i flashed my firmware it was a windows exe that installed it all for me.
The nb1 file is a ROM dump, which in this case you would have to follow the procedure as shown in one of stickies 'How to upgrade your rom to latest one' (or whatever it's called).
Cant seem to find the uploaded new T-Mobile MDA Compact rom?
Is it uploaded??

This link doesn't work for me... Any ideas why?
Some users experience problems using FTP via Internet Explorer. Try using a FTP client software- FTP Surfer is a free one- can't remember the exact link- try a search in Google.
Any other FTP client should also be fine.
Also make sure you are using the correct login details (change them from file menu in Internet Explorer>

It has finally been uploaded and is in the Magician section of the uploads folder on the ftp site
at
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Magician/
I just re-loaded it on an oder MDA compact and it works fine , i find it always works if
1) Make a copy of your existing ROM on the sda crd using romupdate.exe as this seems to format your SD card correctly.
2) Copy your existing rom from the sd card using ntrw.exe BUT DO NOT FORMAT OR ERASE YOUR SD IN ANY WAY
3) Copy the new ROM onto your SD using ntrw.exe
4) Insert the SD card and boot to bootloader, about 8 seconds later it will promt you to flash
It is not a bigstorage rom , its a normal T-Mobile with extended ROM and seems to have the improved bluetooth and a two device comparison (old and new together) shows faster navigation around menus.
Good luck downloaing,

I didnt upload twice, my ftp client stalled (well at least I thought it had)
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!!!!

anyone can give me a hint, how to upgrade ROM using nb1 file. I did sucessfully upgrade using shipped ROM in FTP folder may times, but now i want to upgrade into CHS rom. unfortunatelly FTp folder does not have CHS ROM.
I read all articles regarding BigStorage upgrade, but so far no success. As far as i know upgrading using bigstorage, i have to use the same ROM version installed in the PDA ? am i right ?
thanks
hi there,
As you will guess by my question and post count i am a fully fledged n00b and have just bought the o2 xda orbit.
It such a great forum and enjoying reading all these mod's however there is one slight problem...
...how do you add them all?! i can obviously download all the files etc to my desktop (PC) but how do i then get them to install and work on my xda? e.g. quickgps mod, emulators, themes etc?
i imagine its very easy to answer and thanks in advance
just sync ur pda to pc,some progs will require a simple click ,if this needs you to do more on the device it will prompt you
other will need transfering onto your memory card and activating from your pda
i used this method with trail and error
good luck buddy
yeah ive tried syncing it and it does connect but then unsure of where to put the files.
For example i have the file to update the quickgps to locate quicker. Its in a .arm file and inside that is one file which is quick~g.000. I dont know whether to put the .arm or .000 onto the xda and when i have found that out in which folder do it put it when on explore of the XDA through activesync?
Thanks for the reply.
massive help and all understood now. tried both cab and exe files and both work great, thanks alot

Use LG Flash Tool to flash kdz file to your phone. (Assuming your phone is LG)
Try to google “flashing kdz file on your phone model.”
There are a lot of guides out there.
Good luck!
