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

problem with with 5._Underground_edition_Crossbow_ROM.exe

hi all,
I installed 5._Underground_edition_Crossbow_ROM.exe
on qtek 9100 for tmobile.
Before installing this rom I installed custom_ruu_wizard_1050412....... bin and unlocked CID and phone.Now after successfully installed 5._Underground_edition_Crossbow_ROM.exe, I cannot make a call and I cannot sync with active sync v4.5. What should I do? How do I make activesync work sothat I can try another ROM? Whenever I try to goto phone or activesync setup it gives me error "a problem has occured with device.exe".
Please help me out.....
before update
IPL : 1.08
SPL : 1.08
OS : 1.8.10.2
after crowbow update
IPL : 1.01
SPL : 1.01.0000
OS : 10.1.6.811
my mistake was I didn't update my 9100 to 2.26 before updating to Crossbow.So looks like communication cab has been not installed.Is there any way my 9100 can communicate with Activesync?
thanks in advance.

u shd hv read the threads here and then updated it..to upgrade to wm6 underground edition u shd hv SPL greater than 2.xx..due to which GSM is not flashed as it has 2.47 version..u need to upgrade now to a rom which has SPL 2.xx and then do the underground edition

but how do I upgrade ? ,because when I connect usb cable to the phone nothing happend. i.e. activesync cannot start.

You should take time to read and search the forums. There are numerous posts with similar issues...
You need to get to the bootloader. Turn off your phone, then hold down the camera button while you turn it on, and you will be at the rainbow (bootloader) screen. Now you can flash.
Read the thread by Dr. P in the Wizard Upgrading forum. You have to follow every step exactly as it says (the last step is to upgrade to a 2.x official ROM).

thanks mfrazzz, you saved my $200, I installed 2.26 rom and then upgrade and now its working like a charm.
Thanks once again.

Wm6 Roms can only be upgraded if you have an IPL/SPL 2.xx,as I can see from your present Rom version 1.1.7.5,you must be having IPL/SPL 1.xx,therefore,it's not possible to upgrade to wm6,untill and unless you upgrade your phone to IPL/SPL 2.xx.
First flash T-mobile 2.26 to upgrade to 2.xx and then flash any wm6 rom.
Good luck

be sure that unlock means both "cid and sim" unlock, because sometimes it is network unlocked only, you can use your device with different networks using different simcards, to flash a rom you need the device cid unlocked, read the guides

Hi , thanks for the reply, i must mention that my phone is a QTek 9100 please tell me if the T-mobile 2.26 will install on my phone. if it can please can u give me a download link to it.. I've been searching the site but i haven't found any..
nannhy

Are u sure your phone is CID unlocked? use the wizard service tool to be sure. U can download the t-mobile ROM here: http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/ You need to have a t-mobile phone number. If u dont know any, PM me, and ill let u use mine, u dont have to pay, its just to make sure that ur a t-mobile customer.

XM6R2a is NOT wm5...if you "installed" it and you are still on wm5 then your phone is NOT cid unlocked which is probably what the communication error (302?) was trying to tell you in the first place. Follow the "how to flash a wizard" guides that are a sticky at the top of the forum.

Hey thanks to everyone who have been offering information, my progress so far, i've CID unlocked my phone and i reinstalled the pro+home wm6 and all is working, except i cant use my camera, cause i dont have enough memory as is replied by the os, i'm going to try the t-mobile updated as pointed out in a previous post.

Cannot update Aus Vodafone 750v from 6 to 6.1

Phone is 750v, recently updated to WM6.0 from the Treo website under the 2.18 version, branded to Vodafone (starts up with voda logo), but not locked to telco providers (can change sims).
I've exhausted all me options and info from the various forums.
I've tried everything from kaiser hardspl, kaiser custom ruu, using the sd card to install the cheeimg of the 6.1 rom, cheetahunlocker, hardspl 1.1/2/3 and so on, and etc related programs. Practically everything.
Upon installation progress of ROM, either at 1 or 7% the screen either goes black/blank and the device restarts or the error 207 appears. For smaller .nbh files, progress hits 100% and within split second screen goes black/blank. The rom is not updated in any of these circumstances
I am able to restore the rom using the application downloaded from treo website. By that I mean even restoring 6.0 over 6.0. This concludes that it is possible to install rom updates using the treo provided app.
But not other apps. I'm exhausted. Do not have a solution.
Does anyone know how to resolve these issues to upgrade rom from 6.0 to 6.1.

T-mobile Official WM5 ROM : Solved

I've seen a few of these questions on the forum but each one had deffrent answers depending on the version.
I was following this guide Wizard Windows Mobile for newbies and all was going well until one of the links went out and I could not find the T-mobile Official WM5 ROM, so after trying a ton of different roms/flashers I got anxious, mis read and installed "[ROM] Prophet S4V.19213.01 (Clean)" Now I cant get past the splash screen.
It's a Cingular 8125 with IPL: 10.1 and SPL: 1.08
Thanks in advance
EDIT:
I was able to enter boot loader mode and I was able to go back to the begging of the tuttorial and flash Button ROM to the phone, How all I need is a suggestion of a rom to use instead of the T-mobile Official WM5 ROM
