I've searched and searched to find a post that tells me straight to the point how to upgrade my MDA but I just can't find one.
I've got the XDA Developers FTP loaded up in FlashFXP but there seems to be a lot of empty folders on it.
Can someone please tell me if there is a guide on here of exactly what I need to do to upgrade the unit? I followed some advice to fix my Bluetooth problems on here and now my whole MDA has stopped functioning properly... the Today screen just shows all strange graphics etc but I still have the upper and lower menus.
If there is no guide, can someone please tell me what I need to do... my business relies on my MDA! :roll:

Well, there seems to be a very very very very very funny guy of girl who has deleted most of de maps of de the Magician. Again, very very funny, we're all lauging very loud. (or is it a manifacturer??? QTEK?, iMate? T-Mobile? Who's the bad guy?

Maybe there is a solution: someone else had the same problem (I think, he also had a corrupted Today screen), but after he chose a different picture in the today screen the problem is solved.
Not good about the files Whoever it is has just cost me an awful lot of money so I hope they feel great!
Screen issue is now solved thnks to the picture thing but my Bluetooth will not function at all now... was asking for me to turn flight mode off when it wasn't even on and now it doesn't work full stop.
ok this a small guide i made for a friend..... i'll post it here
ok first thing to do is get the ROM file.
second... after you download the file... extract the zip into any
place you want you will end up with an .exe file... right click on the
exe file and choose extract ( not you need winrar to do that) and
after you extract you will find a bunch of files one of them is named
ROMUpgradeUt.exe or (MaUpgradeUT.exe) replace this file with this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=4022
after you replace the above file, double click on it and it will start
upgrading ... the device will go into bootloader mode (black screen
with Serial 1 written in it) you will get the country error ID
((((DON'T PANIC)))) and DON'T REMOVE THE DEVICE FROM THE USB OR REST
THE DEVICE, just click Exit to finish. while the deice in the bootloader
mode click on the replaced file and run it again the upgrade process
should go fine................
i will try later to do the guide in a pdf format with pix and more detialed
Okay guys I'm new here too Since I want to get rid of the pink t-mobile stuff and upgrading to a ROM which provides me better camera quality I would like to try a newer ROM version.
But where to get the newest ROM from ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Magician/ ? I see extened ROM's but I have been told an extended ROM is a kind of addition to a normal ROM. But where can I find the basic ROM. I've been told that O2 and Qtek roms are the best.
as the title, I'd like to modify the ROM of the S00, I mean i'd like to take the original ROM and add some new software in it so that if i have some problemes with it later, i can reinstall with all my sofwatres and documents. How can i do that pliz ? I'm a newbie...pliz help me !!!
I don't think anything like rom kitchen has been done yet; so far i think the best we've got is big storage hack. I guess there may be some extensions of big storage/extended rom that would work, but I've not looked into it further.

No sorry, there is a sof or sthg for this. My BOSS told me that he saw someone doing this one day but he can't remember which soft it was with. The guy did that on a Qtek 2020. I'm looking for how to do it on a XDA II mini pliz ??

For the Qtek 2020 it's much simpler, as the "Storage" area can be made writable. But it's true, it can be done for the XDA mini also. The procedure was something along the following lines:
- dump the correct portion of your ROM to an SD card - which portion that is I can't remember right now
- copy it to your PC, using ntrw
- move it to a Linux PC, and mount this binary file as a FAT file system
- copy whatever you want into that file system
- copy the binary back to your Windows PC, back to your SD card, and flash it back to your mini's ROM.
This has been described in more detail elsewhere, in one of the threads dealing with BigStorage. You can find it using the Search function. I do not think there's an easier way than that at the moment. Qtek 2020 and XDA mini are just too different.
Cheers
Daniel
- dump the correct portion of your ROM to an SD card - which portion that is I can't remember right now
I didn't understand this line...I'm such a newbie so i'd like to have it step by step if possible pliz...and another question : Do you really have to move the binary files to linux ? I have only windows and I don' t like LINUX that much. Can you explain step by step pliz and what is the soft ntrw, gimme a link to download it by PM pliz, so nice thanks a lot !!
ps: and if you can tell how to it on a Qtek2020 it will be very nice too.
Like i said prashanth, it's not really userfriendly yet. It's best not to be a newbie and try something so involved; there's not really much reason to do so anyway. I find it most convenient to make a self installing backup of my working PPC, and Keep it on storage and/or storage card. That way, even if there's a hard reset, everything can be up and running within 3 minutes. However, installing all software from a hard reset, registering all software, sorting your startmenu, setting everything up etc - it's quicker just to backup and restore!

1. tell us where did you get the rom from so that we believe you and test it too.
2. get the spelling of 'magician' right. doesn't look good as you see it written n number of times in the board.

Hey look... I understand that you possibly have no idea of etiquette in english, But I tell you this, Friend, you will not receive any assistance demanding it like that. In our culture, however spread and in whichever country, if one asks for assistance, one is actaully asking for something.
In this case, help, or assistance, is given out of free will and the kindness of ones heart. just DEMANDING it will get you nothing. I'm actually surprised you got the response you did. Now, most of us are already thinking you have been scammed by some fool trying to make you turn your prized little device into a paperweight, and most of us are thinking to ourselves that you may actually deserve it with the way you are reacting in the forum.
Now, be decent and ask for assistance like a decent human being, and you might get some help... else, go ahead and brick your device... Keeps the nonsense out of our forums.

Hi, wassup bro
ill tell you bro
why dont you try changing the *.dio extension to may be *.zip or *.rar, it might help extracting that file
im sure you know how to do that in XP
make sure you make a copy of that dio file somewhere and p.s ill google around for you later for dio extension if u want me to.
Best of luck
forum etiquette
Hahaha..lol.. this is too funny...I second that MrBee
I've seen these FLASH.DIO files before and I have a fair idea where he's goin wrong but I'm just not too inclined to reply with that attitude.. LOL...
Altho the idea of resurrecting the world's neverending foiled attempts at shoving a WM5/6 into a Magician is intriguing... kinda the reason why I came back to reading this thread after abandoning my Magician for a Trinity for some time now .. Kudos for the attempt anywho...

Sorry for my English and i wish you a lot of fun with the rom
* Dont Flash this Rom... To many Bugs. sorry guys *
Congratulations on your first ROM!!!!!!
Have you included any of the fixes for the bugs that have been found in Gnatgosplat's ROM? I would like to try yours but would prefer to install a "fixed" version.
Thanks for having my name mentioned here. It wasnt anything much that I do. Thank you BlackDragon.
This isnt my first time flashing ROM but this time around I am faced with TeraTerm issue. I get the response "Cannot Connect" when setting up the TeraTerm connection. I Hard reset my device, Clean Storage and yet I still get the same response. Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Thankx Man!!

Try a different computer. Run disk cleanup. Then try setting up Tera Term.

"Disk cleanup" does that mean reformat the hard disk??

Ensure your Tornado is in 3-colour mode
And i wonder whether you can find the "usb" in the "Serial" option.
If not, you can choose any such as "com1", and click ok: donot close TeraTerm.exe.
Open another TeraTerm.exe, and then you can see the "usb" in "Serial" option, choose "usb": before clicking "OK", close the first TeraTerm.exe application.
In this way, i think your problem can be handled.

Everytime I wanted to flash I followed KarHoe's guide to the book just to ensure I dont miss anything out; dont want to brick my precious Tornado though. Yes the device is in 3-color mode. And there is "usb" in the "serial" option of TeraTerm.
I tried your suggestion but Unfortunately i still "cannot open"...
Thanks for the help anyway.

I will post pics once I solve my flashing problem. But hope someone can do it before I do.

I take it Tera Term is just not able to find the phone. Try unuinstalling active sync and reinstalling active sync. I think it has some thing to do with your PC not reading your phone. If you can get it into bootloader, you should be able to flash something on it.
Don't forget to unselect "Allow USB Connections" in ActiveSync before you use TeraTerm!!
THANKS to all you guys...
My heart-felt thanks to all you fantastic guys. Firstly to Blackdragon_860 who worked tirelessly through the day and night to release this fantastic ROM. (I know, as I do, we, ROM junkies were eagerly waiting for a refreshed ROM to be flashed). Secondly to all you guys out there who provided suggestions on how to solved my TeraTerm issue. Also to those who symphatised with me. THANKS! You guys are
I somehow managed to get TeraTerm to connect I did two things. First in Settings>Connections>USB to PC>set to off. I also switched the usb port. So I cant exactly determine which of these two solved my problem.
and here are some stats and pics.
Available Storage: 18.52
Total Storage: 20.94
Available Memory: 27.17
Total Memory: 48.68
Not much different from Gnat's ROM.
I havent really played around with it yet so cant say what's missing or any bugs around.
The significant additions (as far as i am concerned) are the modified *.cpr file (that control how the homescreen is displayed) and the bronzeres.dll which contains the pics for the homescreen. This bronzeres.dll had more than 100 pics instead of the original which only had about 80. (I found this file elsewhere in this forum; thanks to the contributor). If you want to view the content of the bronzeres.dll, download PE Explorer and install to your pc (please google for it).
Attached are the pics.
THANKS AGAIN TO ALL!!
Sorry Guys, i was sleeping..
Illi, Good that you solved your problem and thank you very much for your screens.
I dont know really what for bugs have gnagnosplat's rom. Perhaps someone can write that here and i would show to fix that.
What i can say is, that the rom very fast and stable is
But what i doesnt make in that rom is, to install other software. This rom must remain clean. The full rom, would have the tools that you have postet in the other thread.
Blackdragon
Problem
I think most, if not all, bugs in GnatGoSplat's ROM is with this ROM too. Eg. WMP full-screen does not "sick" after a few seconds it reverts to default screen. Not only that, I am being "kicked" out of applications unexpectedly. The appman.exe seems to have shortage of memory to run programs.
System error:
"Cannot start 'appman.exe'. A critical component is either missing or failing due to low memory"
So, I would suggest those who intend to flash this ROM but havent done so, please hold back. Do not flash yet until I am sure its not the ROM but my apps installation. BTW I didnt install that many and they were the same apps that I installed when I was with Gnat's ROM.
@Blackdragon_860 - I am sorry, looks like you need to get back to the re-cooking. But we must determine the problem first. I am still testing.
Hey all,
I know I just put up my tutorial on how to do this but hopefully this will make things easier for everyone. I'd still suggest doing a nandroid backup first just to make sure but I tested this on my phone so it should work. Just run the app and if this is the first time moving your apps to your sd card(and you want to keep the ones you have) leave the checkbox checked. Otherwise uncheck it. Then just press the buttons that correspond to what you want to do. Enjoy
In order to use this you MUST:
1: Have an apps-to-sd ROM
2: Have your sd card partitioned correctly with FAT32 first and ext2 second.
3: Have busybox already installed to /system/xbin
NOTE: I'll try to help as much as I can but I can't take responsibility for anything this does to your phone. I'm pretty sure nothing bad will happen and nothing irreparable can happen but gotta say these things just to be sure anytime I'm messing with root permissions.
ANOTHER NOTE: I'll put this up in the market for $1. It'll remain free here but people can donate to me that way.
YET ANOTHER NOTE: I've managed to get a new method working that's a lot more stable and flexible. I will keep this thread here but won't be maintaining it.
EDIT: Moving data is too unstable, I've removed the option. It doesn't force close anymore when you don't have the setup right, it just gives an error and wont let you do anything, so that's better.
Tried it this morning and worked great. You might add a pop up at the end of moving apps to restart the device. When less experienced people use it, they won't know to do that I'm afraid.
the app sends me into abootloop at the htc screen

i tried from fresh wipe and sd

OH SHOOT!!! I fixed this problem on the market one but forgot to put it back up on here. Umm... for now no1 should use the one posted here, until I can get home and post the updated one. OR if you still want to fix this and don't much just a bit of fiddling in the recovery terminal, after moving apps to sd, restart in recovery mode and do this:
Code:
mount data
ln -s /system/sd/app /data/app
For anyone who cares about such things, the problem is that it deletes the /data/app folder and then makes a symlink, which sounds ok, except that every super user command has to be run through the whitelist app... which no longer exists. So it's not able to set up the link and all hell breaks loose.
i did use the 1 from here
it says ln: /data/app: file exists
if i already had apps2sd, tried to upgrade my phone from 5.0 to 5.01G, so I wiped...then data.img wouldn't flash over...if i do this, will my apps show up again?

ya it's the one from here that's broken, sorry. If you haven't already flashed back and everything(still have the boot loop) then you can use the code I posted and it should fix it. I'll post the updated version tonight when I get back home.

Yes, just uncheck the checkbox. But you might want to read the note that I just posted, there's a known problem with it that has a fix but requires going into the recovery terminal. I'll post the updated version of this app that doesn't have that bug tonight.

Not really,,
According to the like 6th post or something its states this app wont work if you download it from here, but if you were to get it through the market....
Bob should now be your uncle
if you give him some time as clearly posted again, he will fix the app from the first post and replace it later on

you had the "stale NFS handle" right? I'm not really sure what's going on but something in your phone's file system sounds like it went screwy. Maybe someone like JF or LucidREM could help? Your problem goes way over my head and I'm guessing the same is true of a lot of people on here unfortunately.
its cool imma jus stay with apps n caches to sd...n kep dalvik on the fone..i got passed the nfs error and get stuck at tmo g1 screen maybe ill try again l8ter
jf rom
Ok question I know it says apps to sd rom is needed does this mean only haykuro roms? I have a jfrc33 1.42 and I could do apps to sd using this rom (planning on doing it tonight my 8gig class 6 card arrived) so my question is can I just use this app or do I need to do all the steps manually

It should work on any apps to sd ROM. This includes LucidREM's modified JF ROMs. If you're gonna be manually changing it into an apps to sd, then I would think it would work but can't promise it. I wasn't able to figure that out when I tried so I'm not 100% sure that they work the same but I would imagine they would. Again, though, the one posted here has that known bug which will be fixed after I get home from work.
Short answer(s):
Haykuro's ROM: definitely works
LucidREM ROM: Don't have it to test it but almost assuredly works
Self-modified: probably works?
Sounds good I wasn't doing it till later tonight anyways (stuck at work also) also is it still a good idea to keep ext2 parititon less then 2gb like lucid reported on his tutorial

Probably, I haven't tried anything bigger... and seriously, you'd need a crazy amount of apps to fill up even 1GB...
