Normally you just have to try agaion without resettiong yout device. Just restart your computer and restart the upgrade. If it says USB V1.00 it's much better then it says nothing ! i'm shure it will not be dead at thîs point !!

That's the country id error normally its simple to get that propblem solved but i don't know how, it must be somewhere at the forum here

I tryed using this:
MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
but got a .dll error

embraser,
see my last post in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13228&start=350
I posted the MA_UpgradeUT_Kabubi that I used in order to flash mine. If you're getting a DLL error make sure that you're copying this file in the same folder as the other files (in the TEMP folder)

I'm about to give up...
This gets more complicated as a new attempt to help me arrives.
What other files in the TEMP folder are you talking about?

I think I'm probably in need of a step by step, because I don't know anymore what to do with all the files you guys were so kind on giving me.
Please...

Very easy:
1. Get that ROM fille (it should be an exe)
2. Put it in a folder (e.g. C:\ROM)
3. Right click on the rom file and select "extract files here" (if you have WinRAR)...basically just extract the files to the folder.
4. Put MaUpgradeUT_noID in same folder
5. Run MAUpgradeUT_noID

cheeeeeeeers

it still didn't work...
I got the rom, put the no id file in the same folder, executed the upgrade and got the wrong id country message, then i ran the no id file and again got the .dll error, then i repeated it several times and still nothing.

Did you extract the rom into the folder? If you Unzip ma_tmde_10601_130_10500_ship.zip you end up with a file called ma_tmde_10601_130_10500_ship.exe. Once you have this file, you should right click on it and use the "extract here" option. If you do not have this option then you need to install winrar.
The folder you extract the rom to should have the following files visible.
EnterBL.exe
GetDeviceData.exe
MaUpgradeUT.exe
ms_.nbf
nk.nbf
radio_.nbf
RUU.conf
RUU.dll
UI.dll
copy over the no country file and re run it following the above instructions.

I did all you told me to do, downloaded the
ma_tmde_10601_130_10500_ship.zip
extracted the
MA_TMDE_10601_130_10500_Ship.exe
then right-clicked on it an there's no extraction option, only compression on winrar.

here it is =)
www.world-board.net/tmde.zip
I Unzipped it and add the NOID exe =)
But I just want to tell you once more, your MDAc is German after this Procedure

Finally some progress.
I used the
MA_Qtek(BrPt)_10600_116_10500_SHIP.exe
file and it did something in 2 stages, some radio upgrade and then something else, but nothing else.
Now what?

CAB files

i know this is probably a stupid question, but i cannot get cab files onto my pocket pc. i have read and it says that all i should have to do is copy it from my comp. and paste it in a folder in my phone. do i have to have a sd card to do this, becuase while using active sync it will not let me do it at all. i am very very new to this stuff so please no bashing and any help would be great.

in activesync click "explore" and find where you want to drop the files then drag it over or copy and paste it.

thanks joel i have tried that and when i drag it over it shows as an circle with an line through and it will not let me put it in there maybe i am not extracting it properly or something i dont know.

there is nothing to extract, its drag and drop. Try copy and pasting. (also, make sure the device is still connected)

first of all, tell us which device do you have and which windows are you runnig on it?
second of all, tell us the enviroment of your computer, that is the Operating system (vista, xp or linux?)
the overall process should really be easy, copy the cab, click explore and click the "my documents" folder, right click and selct Paste, thats it...browse the location you pasted the CAB File from your pocket Pc and install it

Here is a more detailed instruction on how to install a CAB :

DDMS Screenshot Help

I've been trying to take some screenshots on my G1 for some time now but nothing seems to work. I followed the instructions on these two pages http://www.allshadow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4739
http://soi.kd6.us/2008/11/06/so-i-took-a-screenshot-on-my-g1heres-the-howto/
But ddms won't launch. Every time I click on ddms in the android-sdk-windows-1.1_r1\tools folder a cmd prompt flashes and then nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong? Or is there something wrong with my phone?
Now windows didn't prompt me to install new hardware when I plugged in my phone so I had to open Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Computer Management | Device Manager, go down to Other Devices and choose the Android phone, then right click Properties, and choose Update Driver, then browse to the specific location.
Does that make a difference?
Also I'm running on windows vista on my computer and I'm running JFv1.42 on my G1
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :]

Instead of running the batch file, have you tried to run cmd prompt first? Goto Start > Run > type in 'cmd' and hit enter. Then type in ddms and hit enter.
It seems whatever is happening, it is throwing an error once you click the batch file, so at least instead of closing you can post the error message here then it'll be clearer as to what is happening.

I opened up the cmd prompt and typed in ddms and this is what I got:
" 'ddms' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file"
Does that mean that its not installed properly?
And I forgot to mention in my original post, that none of the batch files in the tools folder launch when clicked on.

Sounds like you haven't installed the SDK properly, especially the step where you add the /tools directory in the system environments.
Try this though: Copy the ddms.bat file and put it in /system32/ folder on your pc, and then try to launch cmd and run again..see if that helps.

Thanks
I figured out the problem. C:\WINDOWS\system32 wasn't in the system enviroments path

in windows, right click on my computer, go to properties, in one of the tabs, its in there.....
if you are running linux, and asking this, then you shouldn't be using linux....

Vista Home Premium...
I click on "Environment Variables" in the Advanced tab and it opens another menu, one with the option to add user variables, and one with system variables. Which one do I need to add, and what exactly do I need to add?
I tried creating a system variable with the variable name of test and the path as C:\Windows\System32 but it didn't solve the problem...

If I open cmd and cd to my sdk directory and type ddms I get:
Unable to access jarfile lib/archquery.jar
SWT folder '' does not exist.
Please set ANDROID_SWT to point to the folder containing swt.jar for your platform.

its a hell of a lot easier using eclipse, just hit the ddms tab and click the icon that looks like a picture

nobody knows how to make this work without using yet another program??

still cant figure this out
Having the same problem, when I click ddms it flashes then disappears. Any idea how to add the file path in windows 7?

If you can't get this to work - There's a nice little program in the market, simply called "screenshot" (free), that'll let you make screenshots either with a timer or by shaking the phone.

[Q] Better guidelines for flashing vox

im a noob so theres no way ill manage to flash a vox phone by just reading wiki so help me out here pls.
1.i understand that i need to cid unlock my phone. but first of all i have to connect the activesync. activesync comes in varity or can i just download one from any site, do i need drivers for the phone?.
2.then i need an ApplicationUnlock.exe-file from a folder. OK so i run the exe file from my computer or do i send to the phone trough activesync and then run from there. do i have to put the folder with the exe file in the phone och the file is just enough. where in the phone should i put the folder or file.
3. what will the screen show so i know im doing the right thing here.
4. after that i should have a VOX_USPL folder with a spl_116_jockyw.bat file that i need to execute. so what do i do with this folder where do i put it, i mean should i execute it from my computer or phone?
5.so if i make to this point i should ok right? btw any reboots along the way i should be aware of? am i forgetting something more steps maybe?
6.so then i need a cooked rom right? like a folder with a bunch o files right? one of this files should be a flash.exe-file. so do i execute it from the folder in my computer while the phone is conected via activesync or do i put folder in somewhere in the phone and execute it from there. what do i do with the other files in the folder?
all this questions makes me confused about if i should or not. i just want to update the phone to 6.1 or higher, is there any official rom update that will go smoother?

The sequence of actions is a little different than you stated.
You need to application unlock the device as it is to allow subsequent actions to succeed.
You must temporarily (or permanently aka "Hard-SPL") put a bootloader on the device that ignores the CID lock. The device is NOT CID unlocked afterwards, but the "ignorant" SPL allows you to flash a cooked ROM nevertheless
Once the above is understood, reading the WIKI should give you the rest of procedures.

hi thanks so much for clearing that out, i think i kind of understand the purpose.
but as you see the wiki left me with so many specific questions regarding to all the necessery steps. if anyone can make or point me to a guide for dummies like me without skipping things that leaves me with questions like the above i would be most greatfull

Beginner's Guide to Installing the SDK and Getting Started with ADB

It looks like we may have some users that are new to rooting or to Android all together.
I posted these instructions in the perm root thread, but I figured putting them in their own thread would make it easier to find.
This is meant as a basic pre-cursor to following BCNice's perm root instructions.
I've added a link to TrueBlue_Drew's adb/fastboot guide here
If you use the method that I outline below just download his zip and extract the files to your desktop. Then move the fastboot file into your AndroidSDK\platform-tools sub directory. Thanks to Drew for putting together a great guide!
You will need fastboot installed to install BCNice20's recovery.img.
Make sure you have HTC Sync installed on your computer HTCSync
First download the SDK here
Make sure to dowload the installer_r09-windows.exe
Now install the SDK when prompted for the install path paste C:\AndroidSDK over the default path
Once you have installed it open it from the start menu
Select install packages
The main one we are concerned with is "Platform Tools"
Go to the start menu and right click on My Computer in XP Computer in Windows 7.
Select properties, then select advanced/advanced system settings in Windows 7, then environment variables, now go to the lower box (system variables) and select path then edit.
Paste the following as your path C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools then select o.k.
Make sure you have temp root via Visionary or Z4.
On your phone go to Settings, Applications, Development, and make sure USB Debugging is checked.
Now connect your phone to your computer and leave the connection type as "charge only"
On your computer select Start, then run, type in CMD
Once in the Command Prompt enter
Code:
cd C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools
The next line should pop up C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools>
Now test adb by typing in
Code:
adb
If adb runs you are ready to start!
Type
Code:
adb shell
Then type
Code:
su
Allow Superuser on your phone
You are now in and ready to follow BCNice's directions

Here's some adb stuff that I found from the evo days that has linux, mac, and windows adb and some of the files it needs. I flashed the evo with it so it should work for the shift too. I used an all in one for the epic to root mine in windows. I just extracted the zip and ran adb inside it. I could have included that or instead but there were a lot more files in there pertaining to recovery, root exploits, and images of things I didn't know if they could safely be removed and still work or not. I used the mac version of the file in this package instead of running back and forth from win to mac. I purposely keep the win partition off the internet. Yeah, vmware works but sometimes it doesn't and I didn't want to risk anything when flashing a phone.
As usual, use at your own risk. It worked for me in the past so I don't see any reason why it won't work now. Make note of the adb program naming schemes because they aren't just "adb". I uploaded this because it was very useful to me in the past and I've always failed or got lost when trying to set up sdk per google's instructions. It's very stripped down so don't expect it to be as fully functional as the sdk would be.
If you want to do it the way I did then head over to the epic section and get the all in one root and recovery in the dev section, unzip it, then use the adb.exe inside. Don't use any bat files or scripts in there, you might brick the phone.

As a Win7 64bit user, I had the additional steps of downloading and installing HTC Sync so that Win7 would install the proper drivers for my phone before I could use adb shell to access my shift.

Yes, of course, how could I forget that? You definitely need drivers for windows.

Anybody care to link me to a good guide for Linux mint/Ubuntu 64 bit?
I've done it on 32, but I can't find good resources for 64.

I used adbwireless and it worked first shot!
Time to work on some roms...;-)

So is there like a video review or a picture review of this. I am trying to do the steps, but the process is different from your steps. I have tried this on xp and windows 7

When I get to this step
"On your computer select Start, then run, type in CMD
Once in the Command Prompt enter cd C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools
The next line should pop up C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools>
Now test adb by typing in adb"
It tells me "The system cannot find the path specified"
Can anyone help me.
all of my drivers are installed for my phone.

You need to locate the SDK and rename it. It should be on your C drive in the program files folder and the android sub folder.
Once you have located the folder I believe is named android-sdk-windows right click on it and rename it to AndroidSDK.
Then open up a new window in My Computer on Windows XP or Computer on Windows 7.
Open the C drive and then drag the renamed AndroidSDK file over to the root of the C drive.(not in any folder)

Ok. I deleted everything and I am going to try over.

OK.. When I'm first trying to install it do I install it to C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows. That is the defualt place it wants me to install it to. (I am on Windows 7)

I've updated the original post with some more specific instructions for Windows 7.
I had to reboot my computer before I could move the SDK to the C drive and rename it.
The first time I entered the command prompt adb wouldn't work, but I closed it out and the second time it worked flawlessly.

Ok thanks BrandoKc. Coming from windows mobile it would of tooken me a while to figure this adb stuff I out. I have a question??? I just finished rooting... if I hard reset does this break the root???

That will work! Once installed there and updated rename it to AndroidSDK and move it to the root of the C drive. You may need to reboot your computer before it allows you to edit the folder.

By hard reset I assume you mean factory reset. It may but you can re root if it does.
I'm glad to have helped. I know when I rooted my Hero I nearly shatted a bricked Hero.

UGH! Now my SDK manager is not working. It pops up then goes away and I can keep it up. This is happening on this step "Once you have installed it open it from the start menu". I'm probably going to wait until the morning or somebody makes a video on how to do this because I'm getting frustrated.

Lol. As from my language... You can tell I come from windows mobile, in those forums we refered a factory reset as a hard reset and a soft reset as a battery pull

Once we have a recovery you will definitely be able to wipe/hard reset/factory reset without losing root.
I would imagine at this point you should be able to without losing root also.
