COUNTRY ID error??

I tried to install the following ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=22591&highlight=ftp+site
I did everything like the instruction said but after a few seconds of collecting data from my MDA, the program on the pc said "Country error 120".
What now? I'm trying to make my german MDA compact into an english one.
-John

This problem has been posted many times on this forum...
Anyway replace the 'ROMUpgradeUt' with 'MAUpgradeUt_noID' available here:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Magician/Tools
Also don't forget to disable the USB connection by right clicking ActiveSync and unchecking the box.

Disable USB? But if I disable the USB how can upload the ROM files to my MDA? I use a USB connection to connect the MDA to my pc.
-John

Trust me it will work- I only did it yesterday to upgrade my mates ROM to 1.12.
He tried to do it himself but it didn't work. When I did it, the only thing I did different was to disable the USB in Active Sync.
Try it and see if it works... its takes about 20 mins to perform the whole thing.

Not sure if I`m missing something but everytime I attempt to connect to the ftp server above (since I`ve got the same problem) I get "access denied" when I connect via ftp.

Make sure you change the login credentials in Internet Explorer; when you get the access denied message go to File> Login As and change the username xda and password to xda.
If that still doesn't work, use a FTP client software package- some people have reported to have problems with FTP when accessed through Internet Explorer.

Ummm... where do I put this file? I'm trying to run the exe file called "o2asia_11100_922_11100_ship" with the instructions I got from the link I posted on my first post.
I opened the exe file "o2asia_11100_922_11100_ship" with winzip just to see it's content and it has the "ROMUpgradeUt" file but if I replace it and try to run the exe I don't think it will work as the installer is looking for the original "ROMUpgradeUt" and not "MAUpgradeUt_noID".
That's why I wanted clear instructions because I really don't have a *** clue what I'm doing and I really really REALLY can't use the internet now very much as I can only visit off-work sites at my coffee breaks.
So please, help me, I have all the files now but I don't know what to do with them!
-John

Can't get it to work. Here's what I did:
Extracted all the files from "WWE_11200_128_11210_ship" into d:\mda
Did everything as stated here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=14973
But doesn't work. I does upgrade, but the upgrade takes like 10 seconds, then it says to cold boot the mda and after a cold boot it is back in German language.
What am I doing wrong? The .bat file I made does some changes and I am doing everything like the instructions say but something must be wrong here. Please help.
-John

Works now, well at least it is now upgrading so something must be rigt... now I just have to wait
And to contribute and help other newbies - The BEST instructions (in my opinion) are those from "NemesisDE" in this thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=14973&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=75
See pages 4 and 5. Read the instructions on page 4 and then see page 5 for further info = where to download the large rom file as it's been moved and also get the MaUpgradeUt_noID.
To clarify: After you have the ROM (I used WWE_11200_128_11210_ship), download also MaUpgradeUt_noID.
Then you can proceed with NemesisDE's instructions, they are VERY good. I had no problems converting my german MDA compact into english.
Now this is the type of information I should've gotten yesterday... but now it works, I'm happy.

HELP on installing ROM

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?

Which ROM should I choose?

Hello!
I'm French, and I have a Qtek 8310 (currently with WM5).
I'd like to turn into WM6, but it seems there is two different ROMs here (the sticky from jm012a9749 and the sticky from andot), and I really don't know which one is the best for me...
So, if you could help me to find the best for me:
I'm French (but I guess both are in English, so there is no hope for me to find a French one... )
I don't send any MMS
I send a lot of SMS (I'd like a French T9)
I use Windows Live (Messenger, Contacts, Hotmail, Spaces...)
I use a SIP account to make phone calls with the wifi
I sometimes take some photos
I'm not a complete geek... so, I need a ROM not too hard to install...
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

go with the perfect edition, which is better tuned and less buggy.
You can find many extra applications in the forum. especially check the extras package under Phil's sticky (post 4 I guess). Follow the instructions in Phil's sticky to supercid and format binfs, then install andot's PEE. I guess you can also find localisation files in the forum, but I never tried that.

Oh my God, I haven't understand anything of what you said...

When you say "andot's PEE", does it mean that?
And, I think I have understand that I must do the things written in the topic of the other ROM (Phil's one), before installing the andot's ROM... Am I right?
Please excuse me if I'm bothering you with my stupid questions... I'm not a geek. A big thank for your patience!!!

3) Run SP-services, click CID-Tools, Set CID=1111111, turn off your phone
4) Remove the USB cable, disable USB Active Sync Connection ( Active Sync connection options )
5) Hold the camera button when the phone is off, plug in the USB cable, you will see a 3 colour screen

Thanks a lot karhoe, it's vey nice of you!!
Before beginning: You talk about ActiveSync... but I use Windows Vista, so I have the "Gestionnaire pour appareils Windows Mobile" instead of ActiveSync... May it be a problem?

Oh, and another quick question before I begin:
Is there a way to save my SMS messages on my computer, in order to put them back on the phone after the upgrade?

I'm afraid you have a problem, SuperCID only work on WinXP, besides that, you cant run the RUU just like that in Vista, I suggest you do everything on an XP system
Yes, you can transfer SMS into your phone, use JeyoMobileExtender, trial version for few days, enough to backup, after that you can crack, but im not going to post the crack here
Also, in Vista, you don't have Active Sync, but Windows Mobile Device Centre, which is another problem, just get an XP system

[nothing... please excuse this useless topic]

I'm so stupid, I did'nt remember I have a old laptop with XP.
I'm on it currently.
I have installed ActiveSync 4.5, Jeyo MobileCompanion to backup SMS, Contacts and Call History on the PC.
Then, I ran SDA_ApplicationUnlock, but it told me "Phone is not unlockable", and just after: "SDA succesfully unlocked. PLEASE REBOOT SDA NOW!". It's quite weird...
Well, I rebooted the phone, and now I'll do your etap n° 2.

2) Extract SPV-Services, copy cert.cab into your phone and open it from ur phone to install it

I guess "SPV Services" is that: http://www.spv-developers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=236
I have a problem: I copied Cert.cab on the phone and ran it to install it, but the installation failed.
I guess it's because SDA_ApplicationUnlock hasen't work...
What should I do now?
edit: That's okay, I succeded with HTCUnlock-CVS.zip instead of SDA_ApplicationUnlock.
I'm proud of me! LoL

(problem solved)

Good luck dude, later when you want to transfer back the SMS to your phone, just Select all by hitting CTRL A, then clk Copy SMS to device

awesome mate! good luck flashing. I am warning you, it will become a habit

Thanks for your encouragements.
But I think I have a BIG problem, now:
I ran the "ROMUpdateUtility" from the WM6GSMUPDATE.zip of Phil, and I had no problem, it come to 100% quite fast.
Then, I've just ran the "ROMUpdateUtility" from wm6-for-tornado-perfect-english-edition-20070810.zip, and I now I have an error:
ERROR [260] : UPDATE ERROR
The Update utility cannot connect to your Smartphone. Please check that your USB cradle/cable is connected properly between the PC and your Smartphone.

Click to collapse
Of course, the cable is still well connected, I haven't unplugged it.
Currently I have the 3 colors bands on the phone screen, with some things written.
That's OK now, I rebooted the phone and it worked.

Yesssss!!!!! It worked!!!!
I'm really happy!
But now I would like to know how to write SMS messages... Because I can only write numbers.
(Is there a French T9 available?)
Thanks in advance for your help.

salut,
tu es francais alors je parle francais, pour le t9, telecharge les extas dispo dans le post de phil, install xt9 english et ensuite instal MoDaCo xt9 ! et voila tu le t9 en francais

Super, merci pour ton aide !!

By default, it does not have any input, you must install T9 English or whatever language you want

Issues : Network connection and VGA mode, how to ?

I'm noob and recently i've updated my Qtek 9000 (Htc Universal - G3 version) from windows mobile 5 to windows mobile 6.1 from Windows Vista.
I've done it following this guides :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313001
to change windows mobile device driver to USB modem Vista Driver
after that i've followed
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Bootloader
to upload Universal SPL (Bootloader) to 1.01.
After all of this i've flashed with Tomals 8.5 STANDARD with success uploading my device to windows mobile 6.1.
Now my device is so configurated :
Rom version D.08.50 TML WWE
Radio version 1.03.00
Protocol version 42.36.P8
Actually i have problem with GPRS connection with my Tim Italian network. I must also test UMTS with 3 Italian network.
My device now doesn't establish a connection with network.
Also i want to improve the screen visibility to VGA mode, but i don't know how do it.
Also if it's possible i would understand how can introduce shortcuts to my "home".
I hope that someone help me and thank you in advance.
Bye

P.S.where can i find a complete list with the best and usefull software actually available

1. problem: the networks settings for TIM are available on this list of APNs (apns are access points for gprs network, which you are experiencing problems with as you dont have the proper setup. you should be able to find the necessary information here:
http://forums.pinstack.com/showthread.php?t=360
(sorry for linking to a different board)
as far as i know, you wont need "username" and "password"
2. problem: Use RealVGA and proper ResPacks for it to make this possible
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327830&highlight=realvga
(get the RealVGA.cab file and also a ResPack*.cab file like ResPack128dpi.ARM.cab
to get "medium" screen visibility and 96dpi for extremely low size font

Thanks for your prompt help.
I've solved for VGA issue. Thanks a lot.
Does it exist something similar also for Italian ROM, or it's usable only with English ROM ?
For the first point i don't know where i can i ser APN and other parameters on my PDA. Sorry, but i'm a noob.
Looking around settings menù, of this Tomals 8.5 ROM, i find a "connections setup utility" that has entered the right settings for my Tim operator. At least so it seemed.
But unfortunately it didn't function at all.
My PDA is always in searching mode to find an operator.
The strangeness is when i reboot my pda in the first seconds my PDA receive correctly sms from my network operator.
Where can i insert the right settings for Tim italian network, and if it's possible for 3 italian netowrk ?
Many thks again to everybody.

provided connection setup should work.
try updating the radio rom to a latest one as I see it is 1.03.

[SOLVED] - [Q] Fujitsu Simens loox N560 died after bad firmware

hi.
I'v got loox n560 that was upgraded to WM6.1-6.5 servel times without any problem.
the last time i did update, i did it accidentally with a bad firmware file(uncompleted download).since then, the device wont boot(just a white screen).and the pc wont recognize it.
any way to save it? or i made myself a nice paper weight?
thanks.

I think there was a way to put the N560 in bootloader mode by pushing some keys and soft-reset hole manually (the "monkey grip" it was called or something similar...) and with the file of the rom to be flashed in a SD card... perhaps you can google for information on this ancient -and more unsure that the cable one- flashing mode. Worth to try it better than have a paperweight...
Good luck!

I give you more information (shame that FIRSTLOOX information is not there anymore)
For manual bootloader mode: press On-Off button + left side button (voice recording) + stylus soft reset (for some seconds). Keep pressed On-Off and recording untill the dolphins appear.
I can't find references to flash from SD card. Anyway, for incomplete flashing, Newplowe gives this procedure:
"You should close process "wcescomm.exe" on PC in task manager. Then hold button record, power and puch reset after that you will come in boot loader. Run the program mtty.1.42 and select usb connect. If You will see the any error just start again mtty. Put command l c:\os_213u.nbf (You should put correct flash file in c:\ or use correct path to os_213u.nbf, l - like L but small). When it will done You should start PocketLOOX5xxFlashTool.exe and flash you PDA."
I got this reference from "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429148&highlight=flash+n560+card".
Good luck anyway.

this is very interesting...
i was able to put the device into boot loader mode and ran the command "L c:\os_213u.nbf" ("l" didnt work, but L did).
it did something to the device, a progress bar till the end of the screen.but the device didnt reboot.when i try to run POCKETFLASH program it couldnt connect to the device.
i runing windows 7, so i guess it the problem(ACTIVE SYNC is a XP PROGRAM).
i'll try installing XP on another computer and try this again.
thansks.

almost...
i have installed Windows XP just for this, and everything seems to go well, i connect with MTTY, put the l c:\os_213u.nbf command and the device respond.
the next stage i to flash with PocketLOOXN560FlashTool.
when i start it, i receive connection error, and then i go to recovery mode.the program try to communicate with the device, but i get at the end error that the ROM language is different than the language on the device.it says "(ENGLISH)" and there are also empty
()
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
at the end.
i doubled checked this with the original WM5 English rom, and its the same.
is there a way to change the language with MTTY?
any other ideas? its a shame to stop now after i can get a response from the device...
thanks.

The only idea I have is to check if after the failed flashing your N560 is still an "english" one. Perhaps the defective rom has changed the language of your device to something else...
If your device respond to communication with the XP computer, perhaps you could make a rom dump (in newplowe's page you can got tools for doing that) and check in the dump file with an hex editor which language actually has. You can always check newplowe's blog and forum (with google translator ), or ask him

Sorry i didnt post an update.
i have fixed the rom language.it had a gibberish mark at the end of the ENGLISH, after i have fixed that, .the device was flashed correctly and its working!
thanks for thelp guys
