Please please please help me upgrade my MDA...

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.

Having a few Problems with MDA Compact Update

im trying to update to the tmobile-uk_wwe_ROM_1.12.00
but when i try and copy it to SD Card all i get is Parameter is Wrong
i downloaded the update from here
and i have even tried editing it by copying the orignal 416 bytes
Please Help
P.S if i install the Bigstorage WWE_1.12.00
will that update it to
tmobile-uk_wwe_ROM_1.12.00
Thnaks

ok, i have now got past that part, but i can not install the new Update, cause the files are different
on the new update the 416 bit that you copy over is no where near the same as on the Original.nb1 file
so it will not flash, just sits there saying Serial or USB in Bootloader

I noticed this also, and gave up on this rom. I think we need a clean dump as like you say the first 416 bytes don't look like thr real article.
Paul

Does anyone have a Clean Dump for the
MDA Compact - T-mobile - UK - Update
Please

Same problem her
Hello there,
I'm having the same problem?
rom 1.01.00 wwe
radio 1.00.10
I'm allready trying to update for about 3 month's still no luck.
Would you be so kind to set me up if you know something.
Thnx!

Hello,
Try to flash you magician with the rom for the SPVM500 it worked for me.
If you don't want to have the setting from Orange, just reboot after it says "tap the sreen to compleet".
Good luck.

Still no luck!
Hi There,
Thnx! for your help but when I load the upgrade it gives me a country id error? again.
With regards,

Use MAupdate_Noid.exe it´s in the upload directory.

Still nothing.
HI there thanks again!
If I run this app it saya the needed dll is missing, RUU.DLL
Thnx

Did you extract all the file from the execute file, you will have about eight files. Copie the MAupdate_Noid.exe in the same folder and run it. If this wount work, run it from bootloader mode, hold the camera button and the power button and reset the divice at the same time. Your screen will shows Serial or connected to USB, USB. Run the file again.

Hi there,

Hi,
Is SPVM500 Rom Version 1.01?(t-mobile)
If so would you provide it for me by adding to website ftp.xda-developers.com or give me a link to download it?

Low Battery + Camera Flash Tweak?

I was wondering if anyone knew of such a thing (a download to enable camera flash even at low battery) or would be kind enough to provide me with one, I would be so grateful. I've tried searching around to no avail. Thanks in advance.
*Actually, or if anyone knows where in the settings I can change this at because I've went through everything I see and I can't find an option for it.

I need it too....

Last time i checked, this was in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Drivers\BuiltIn\Battery\
Change the 0 value to "FlashlightpowerUnavailable" : 1
Cheers

There is a better solution:

Hi there djet,
i tried to transfer both the files to the windows folder but i am getting this message: "be certain that there is enough free storage memory, that the destination is not write protected and that the file is not currently in use". Have you personally tried the method already?
many thanks

All you need to do is to copy Camera.exe to \Windows folder. You are definitely doing it wrong. Try Resco's Explorer for file management.

Personally? The patch and the package are mine. Of course it works.

Thanks djet...worked this time (using resco's explorer).
i tried using the native file explorer yesterday which didn't work
EDIT++++
i tried the camera app and it didn't work. says that app may be right protected... i returned the original camera app and i got it to work. do i still have to do something on the replacement camera app before placing it to the windows folder?
thanks

What ROM are you using and what exactly is the message?

I am using the old ROM (1.48.707.2) WWE. I'm from the Philippines btw.
I'm sorry I forgot the exact message but it did say something like either the phone having not enough memory space (but I still have 78MBfree space) or installing a right-protected (certificate) file?

The patch is intended for 1.66+ Camera. Certificate checks must be disabled as the patched exe isn't properly signed.

i see. now i am going to have to be forced to upgrade my rom thanks

[APP]-FD DroidBoot-Autostart Android!

DroidBoot
This is a small app I made to start Android / Linux at Windows Mobile boot.
Thanks to JMZtaylor and yozgatg for their dual-boots, I just got tired of clicking everytime I started my phone so made this.
I feel we are getting very close to a day to day usable version of Android! I already use it instead of windows mobile since about 6 days ago.
The .cab file installs the app to Program Files/DroidBoot. It also creates a reg entry to autostart the app which launches ClrCad.exe and HaRET.exe at boot if found. If HaRET.exe does not exist on Storage Card/ or in Storage Card/Android the app will exit and Windows Mobile will start as normal.
If you want to use WinMobile. Eject SD card before boot.
WARNING!! May cause Windows Mobile to become inaccessible if installed on a phone with only internal storage!

If it doesnt start and you get an error. you may need the .Net compact framework 3.5

Enjoy!!

Please dont just post "It doesnt work!" what doesnt work? Do you get an error? Help me to help you!

Did you try installing the .net framework?
Did you get an error message?

doesn't work for downloaded the framework still doesn't work

The download link doesnt work
can you upload it again?

Reuploaded on zshare.
To the people who say it doesnt work. Can you check in a registry editor if the value got added to init.
You are looking for:
Hkey_Local_Machine/init
And there should be a string value in there which says "Launch72" "Program Files/DroidBoot/Droidboot.exe" if its not there. That could be the problem.
Another idea is that it might not work on non WWE roms. Due to the storage card and or program files being named differently.

Why don't you just use the Energy ROM "Desire v5" from NRGZ its maybe way better than using an application, opinion

Because I made this before he made the ROM!

Then you should hardcode the file to that location and not use %programfiles% for installation of those files in the cab. The language of the rom doesn't mather anymore then.

Thanks for the idea, will implement it asap!
Edit: Part of my code in the app refers to /Storage Card/, when its trying to find haret. Any ideas to get around that?

Gav check http:--msdn.microsoft.com-en-us-library-aa446567.aspx#spfiles_topic_05 for your Storage Card location solution. Replace "-" with "/"

does this works for touch pro 2

Good idea nonetheless!!!

i have the same problem. now i installed the rom from beginning and will see what happends. i tell u later.
Edit: I had to Replace the android files in SD card and put it back from where i got them " downloaded ones " now it works again.
