I've tried another rom image for my mda compact 2 and now my mdac2 does'nt start any more.
I have tried several rom-images (for compact, atom, ewtc..), but I can install no one .
On the T-Mobile Homepage there is no Image for the MDAc 2.
Can anyone help me ?
I only come to the bootloder screen (red - green - blue).
I need a rom-image, that i can start from the bootloader.
thx
Try this link from TMO UK http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/download_manager_mda_com2.html
Success, M
I've already tried this, and it starts updating but then comes the message :
ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID
THis Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone.....
Maybe I have to unlock the CID first ?
But can I unlock the CID with the aWizard, when the Comp.2 is in the Bootloader mode (red-gree-blue) ?
Ouch,
Yes the cid-unlock will be needed :-( Can't you fix the RUU.conf or something simular with a first line like checkid=1 ? I've read about it on the board & seems to work for magician. & there's some tool like MaUpgradeUT_noid for the wizard too, but I don't remember whether that is awizard :-(
You're almost of to the shop isn't it.
BTW when you unzip the shipped-rom, do you get all kinds of nbf files. & Do they all start with the same word when you open them in hexeditor? I use nbfdec to decode them to a 'normal' file which can be edited, then you could be able to fix the header of the nb1 encode it again & try to update your device.
& have you tried some of these tools ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/DumpROM/

In the unzipped folder is no file like RUU.conf.
Only RUU.dll and RUUREsource.dll
There are following files in the folder
EnterBootloader.exe
nk.nbf
README.doc
ROMUpdateUtility.xex
RUUGetInfoi.exe
RUUResource.dll
RUU.dll
And I've downloaded " nbfdec " , but I can not start this program.
I think i have to reboot my computer.
un zip all the files from the t-mobile package
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/Wizard_RomUpgradeUtility_noID.rar
download this and unrar and overwrite in the same folder.
connect up the phone in bootloader to pc and run the ..._NoID.exe
as theres no activesync connection it will pause for a bit on the checking existing rom but still let you carry on
ignore the picture of the wizard, just make sure your installing the right nk.nbf for the compact 2
I've exactly done what you said, the update ended with 100 % and now the device starts until the bootloader-screen (red-green-blue).
Have I done something wrong ?
What has happened ?

That's the one I was referring to, thanks.
Bundy did you reset afterwards?

Yes, I did a Hardreset, a Softreset , but I only get to the picture with the 3 colors.
IPL 1.12
SPL 2.15
I'm terribly sorry, but we've ran out of my knowlegde of the MDA Compact II. So besides the usual question: have you ran the update a second time, for me this would be warranty issue.
Hope Dave is worth more.
Good luck, M
Yes , I have done the update a second time, but with the same effect - the device only starts in the three-color-screen.
So I think I can do nothing more ....
:-(
I made the big mistake of updating my Charmer with the latest update from T-Mobile. Where can I get the previous rom as the new one is terrible.
Any help welcome
I've uploaded the previous copy into the FTP You can get it from the ftp
You will need aWizard to flash it. I won't recommend you doing that unless you are familiar with aWizard.
I have downloaded aWizard - could you give me a step by step guide on how to flash my rom - The rom I downloaded contains many files - can you tell me where in awizard each of these goes?
I won't recommend you to do it when you are not very sure what you are doing.
Ok, you should have a 'ROM' folder under your aWizard folder. (e.g. c:\aWizard\ROM)
create a folder under this 'ROM' folder named `mda_compact2` (exactly)
(e.g. c:\aWizard\ROM\mda_compact2)
extract everything into this new folder, so, among other files, you have
(e.g. c:\aWizard\ROM\mda_compact2\mda_compact2-HTCLogo.nba)
and a folder
(e.g. c:\aWizard\ROM\mda_compact2\mda_compact2-ExtROM\)
where you have bunch of CAB files there.
go to command line, start aWizard.bat
(1) first, do a unlock CID (option u)
(2) then Enable RAPI (option e)
(3) then use the (w) to write the OS ROM into your device
after step (3), you should have a choice to select the ROM that you already put into. Follow the screen instructions from here.
NOTE: If you can't see any choices after step (3). Quit and check your folders again.
This is an early version of aWizard I'm refering to. Refer to the thread for any updates. Better read through the thread before doing so (yes, it is a long read, better a long read and a long wait if you kill your phone)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, the instructions for flashing your first ROM are pretty straightforward:
1. Flash HardSPL
a. The first thing to do is to pick a ROM you want to flash, and plug in your device to your computer.
b. The chef (person who makes the ROM) will usually say which SPL he/she recommends. If he doesn't, you can just PM him.
c. Go to this page and pick the HardSPL that the chef recommends. A HardSPL Security unlocks your phone, meaning that you can flash different ROMs than the default shipped ROMs.
d. Download the Kaiser-HardSPL-versionhere.zip from the above page and extract them to a folder on your computer, for example: HardSPL.
e. Now download the attached file in this post (JumpSPLv1) and extract it to a folder on your computer, for example: JumpSPL.
f. Once you have extracted the three files to a folder, open the folder, and copy "kaiser_JumpSPL_pof_v1.nb" and "JumpSPL.exe" (no quotes) to your device.
g. Power down your device, take out your SIM and SD card (if one), then power back on the device. If it opens an emergency call screen once restarting, just click the red End key button on your device to exit and go to the today screen.
h. Open File Explorer, then open JumpSPL.exe on your device, select the kaiser_JumpSPL_pof_v1.nb, then enter in: "0x00000000" no quotes.
i. Now, if done correctly, you should be at a Tri-color screen and it should say "USB".
j. Now disable USB connections in Activesync/Windows Mobile Device Center. To do this, click on settings under Activesync or Windows Mobile Device Center (depending on if you're running Vista or XP) and UNcheck "Allow USB connections"
k. Unplug your device, wait 5-20 seconds, then plug your device back in.
l. Remember that folder that you extracted the SPL to? Well, on your computer, open that folder, then run KaiserCustomRUU.exe.
m. Click Next, Next, then Update. Wait for it to finish, then click Finish.
n. Congratulations! If done correctly, you should have HardSPL flashed on your device. To confirm this, press and hold the camera button on your device all the way while pushing the stylus into the reset hole. You should be at a tri-clor screen (called the bootloader). The second line down should say "SPL-versionhere.Hard" (no quotes). If it does, you're ready to flash! If it doesn't, please re-read all instructions.
2. Flash the ROM
a. Flashing the ROM is very easy. First, pick the ROM you like, and download it. Usually ROMs are in a .zip or .exe file.
b. Once the download is finished, extract the .zip to a folder on your computer. If it is an .exe, just run it.
c. If it was a .zip, just run KaiserCustomRUU.exe from the folder you extracted the files to, click Next, Next, then Update, then Finish. It it was an .exe that you downloaded, it should do this automatically. However, if it doesn't, it should just extract the files for you into a folder. Just follow the same procedure for a .zip file if it does do this.
d. Congratulations, you should have just flashed the ROM! If not, please re-read the instructions above.
3. Flash the Radio
a. This is where newcomers tend to become confused. Basically, you just need a radio that matches the ROM you have. One reason to tell if you do not have a correct radio is if you have camera issues, and sound issues while talking on the phone. Just remember: only flash Kaiser radios! If you try flashing a Polaris radio on your device, chances are you'll brick it.
b. You can flash the radio before or after you flash the ROM. Basically, the ROM and the Radio need to match. Chefs sometimes include Radios in their ROM, in which case you would not need to flash a new one. Just look in the thread of the ROM you want to flash to see if the chef included it. If there is an included radio, you can skip the rest of the steps. If the chef does not include a radio, he/she will usually recommend one.
c. You can download radios from here. Just download the one your chef recommends. If your chef does NOT recommend a radio, just PM him/her and ask which radio he/she recommends. Many people prefer 1.58.25.17 for its awesome battery life. 1.58.25.17 also works on many newer ROMs.
d. So, just for the sake of the rest of these steps, we are going to assume that you have flashed a newer ROM and are now going to flash Radio 1.58.25.17.
e. Now, just download 1.58.25.17 from the link I posted above (should be a .zip), extract the files to a folder on your computer, run KaiserCustomRUU.exe, click Next, Next, Update, then Finish.
f. Congratulations, you have flashed your radio and you are completely done. If, for example, you are experiencing issues with the camera and phone, just flash a different radio using the same method as posted above.
That's it.
And remember, please read the Wiki, Stickies, and G.W.E.N.I. for the answers to most of your questions. Or, you could use the wonderful Search functions of this forum.

This might get me one step closer to finding out why I can't flash a HardSPL. Tried every possible way for 2 days (questions thread here somewhere) but no luck.
I'll try some searching, but can you perhaps give the link where specific instructions above were posted? I'd like to try the seperate .exe and .nb file approach rather then the not-working-for-me JumpSPL1.xx versions. Thanks
EDIT : Don't worry, I've found the link to above...
EDIT2 : Tried above and got the white screen. Redownloaded your JumpSPL1.56 and HardSPL again and tried everything again with all my fingers crossed. IT WORKED!!!! Dunno why or how, but it did... ;-)

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
