HELP on installing ROM - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading

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!!
CORA.

What shall I do if on stage 2 it always stops on 24%....and nothing happens?

Can'tinstall ROM on my Jam....

Hi all!
I've an Italian version on i-mate Jam and I'd like to install the last English version of the ROM.
I'm trying with the wwe (worldwide English) ROM but seems to doesn't work with my device...
S.O.S!!! Smile
Hello
There are numerous posts on this problem.
Quick extract on the matter from JoelWu as you may get Error 150 Codes
1. Right click on the downloaded Rom EXE-file and extract to a named folder (using Winzip or something similiar)
2. You should end up with about 6 - 8 individual files; ms.nb1, radio.nb1, nk.nb1 ruu.conf, ruu.dll, enterbl, getdevicedata and maupgradeut, the maupgradeut is the file that runs the upgrade
3. Download the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
4. Once you have this file you will need to add this to the folder created above as this is the file needed to initiate the upgrade.
5. In ActiveSync, go to option -> Schedule, Set it to Manual, this is to make the PPC USB connection to ActiveSync active but don't do any Sync with your PC and PPC during the upgrade process.
6. Connect the phone to the USB, manually sync once. From now onwards, the step is the same.
-----
7. Now run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
8. The upgrade Wizard will start, go through a few checks then eventually come up with the country Id error.
9. Run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe file again and this time it should allow you to run the Wizard.
10. The process should then go through 3 stages which should last about 10 - 15 minutes.
11. When finished you should get the upgrade successful notification and a prompt to reset the device
12. In ActiveSync, click on file and connection settings and tick the USB connection.
Many thanks!
I'll try it asap!
Last questions:
if I install the WWE ROM as you told me... the next ROM upgrade it will be possible by the normal exe way or all the WWE ROM need that workaround?
If I install the WWE ROM using the way you told me... Can I came back to install the Italian version of the ROM? Using the normal way (.exe) or... ?
I dont no.. im trying 2 update my Magician for the second time i will post my result first i try with official .exe. if it dont works i use the cracked...
Nope still Country ID error
Thanks!
IT WORKS!!!! :wink:
well... now I've got English ROM on my jam but 2 problems:
- On my old Italian ROM there was an antivirus application installed as default. On English ROM there isn't!!! :-(
Any suggestion to download the antivirus? Is it necessary in your opinion?
- Now, when I'm typing with the std keyboard the Jam suggest me the English words... (obviusly!)
Can I configure the Jam to sugget me the Italian words or the WWE have only English vocabolary inside?
- Wat's the differences fro WWE ROM and US ROM or UK ROM? I'm Italian... waht's the best English ROM for me?
WWE is fine for you. The US and UK roms only have settings for that countries' phone providers in the Extended Rom. Since you're not in either of those countries you can just stick with WWE.

ROM in XDA mini corrupted--HELP!!

i bought a XDA mini from ebay.when i received the device it is of german made and i am an indian.when i was trying to upgrade my ROM version,i got an error and failed to upgrade, since then it is not turning on .i tried to soft reset ,hard reset but it is fruitless.later i came to know that the software with which i tried to upgrade was for 'XDA ll'.how can i reinstall my original ROM now.moreover i noticed that something "USB v1.02" is being displayed when i connect it to the PC with USB cable and "SERIAL v1.02" when i disconnect it from the PC.
Can any one help me i have used my phone 1 month back.
Your device is now stuck in the bootloader & that's no problem. Just visit the wiki & go to the magician section. Explore it, especially the part about rom upgrading with exe method & download the 1.13WWE rom with the link on the magician main page (@ the wiki).
Then connect your magician (mini) to the usb & start the exe file (shipped-rom) you've downloaded. Now it should finish, if an error 120 comes up, use maupgradeut_noid.exe like described in the howto.
Your magician should be cured after this.

if your rom crashed and your devise still in eboot page and waiting for downloading disk image now you gona give it
but a little problem....you need another of any kind ppc that just activesync can recognize it..any wm or hd .....
and also you need ollydbg software.its a debuger.....
steps
0) run ollydbg and load the rom upgrade file in ollydbg
1) plug the healthy ppc to your desktop via usb activesync v4.5
2) make a text file in your desktop and name it DeviceSpy and set it attribte to read only
2) transfer it to \windows dir in healthy ppc...
4) change the suffix from .txt to .exe by resco explorer or any other file explorer now you have DeviceSpy.exe
check it attribute and be sure its readonly...
5) press f9 and zinc upgrader will run...it suppose to installer ignore the differ
6) tap all ok or next buttons and in dialogbox with update button beware
7) most important section : tap update button and eminently click on ollydbg title bar to make it active window
and watch the activesync icone .it quickly will chang and make activesynk disconnect and you have to hear
a notification tone and ppc will restart...
8) quickly press f12 to break ollydbg process then unplug healthy ppc and plug your zinc and wait for notification tone
9) press f9 and enjoy the new rom....
that healthy ppc is still healthy but your dead zinc now is alive...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But not success.
Now my Zinc is in black screen and red light when I connect to PC.
Can anyone help me ? My Zinc is dead. (
do not use olydb
just when the healthy ppc restarted replace it with zick quickly.
use a dos app instead of text file and rename it to devicespy.exe with readonly
attre..
What if I dont have another PPC???
I am going thru the very same problem...
What if I do not have another healthy PPC???
Also, will the settings be the same if I am using a Windows Mobile Device Center rather than a ActiveSync 4.5???
Please help me out with this Zinc issue!!!!

MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe vs. ROMUpgradeUt.exe (without Activesync installed)

Newbie question:
I've noticed that MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe program as found in http://vidmes.com/xda/Uni/Radios/Universal_radio-1.15.00.rar does not require to have Activesync installed.
However, ROMUpgradeUt.exe program (the one included in excellent Tomal's ROMs) does require to have Activesync installed. If not, you get a "rapi.dll not found" error.
Both programs seem to work with my SPV M5000 (I have made a couple of flash operations with them, both Radio and ROM).
I don't like to have Activesync installed, so my question is:
Is it OK to understand that it is safe to always use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe instead of ROMUpgradeUt.exe when upgrading to newer HTC Universal ROMs. (specially with Tomal's ROMs)?
Thanks.
Please, confirm
Please, confirm if is it fine to always use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe instead of ROMUpgradeUt.exe when flashing new ROMs. I want to flash from a PC without Activesync installed, and thus ROMUpgradeUt.exe is discarded.
Thanks in advance.
Put the device in serial mode, and use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe

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
