Dear all expert,
While trying to flash my German Black O2 mini from Ger to ENG. (Using MAupgrade_noID)
After some steps, the o2 mini turn black and display
"Serial V1.02"
At this time, even though I softreset or hardreset the device,
the same wording also appear and can't further boot.
I even use SD card method but the same wording still appear again.
Can any expert teach me how to rescure my device?
Thanks
Are you sure you did the SD-method right?
At OS 1.13.01 GER Radio 1.13.00 BigStorage you will find the latest german BigStorage ROM image available. Now do the following:
Get ntrw from this site
Get a 512 MB SD-card (maybe a 128 MB one will work, too, but I am unsure about this).
Put ntrw into C:\
Extract the RAR into C:\, which should produce C:\11301bs.nb1
Enter the following into the command line at C:\:
Code:
ntrw write 11301bs.nb1 [your SD-card drive letter, e.g. I:]
, ignore error messages
Fully load your Magician!
Disconnect your Magician from anything, especially USB
Shutdown your Magician (press power button)
Put the SD-card into the Magician
Put Magician into Bootloader-Mode (Camera+Power+Reset at once, until you have the "Serial 1.02" screen w/o backlight)
Wait some seconds for "Press power to flash" to show on screen. Do just that.
This might just work.
Thanks KK.
What's wrong is that, it seem the bootloader is dead.
WHile I input the SD card while enter into the bootloader.
The screen still display "serial V1.02" and hold it.
No further wording like "Press power to flash it" etc.
Is it the bootloader is dead?
I do not think so. Make sure you shut down the Magician before placing the SD-card with a fresh ROM-image written to it into your device. Power on into Bootloader-Mode afterwards.
Another option to check your loader is the following:
Shutdown the Magician
Go into Bootloader-Mode
Wait for "Serial 1.02" to be displayed
Connect to PC via USB. The Bootloader should display "USB" shortly after connecting. If it does not: Maybe really you managed to kill your loader.
What exactly did you do? I used the NOID-Tool too, and had absolutely no problems with it. Besides: I also have a bootloader version 1.02.
kk
While plugging the usb cable to the device , yes, it show "USB" on the screen then.
However, when I use the romupdate.exe and try extract the rom into SD card at this time. After pressing "d2s" , the device shut down at once. No words appear on the screen.
Do you know what does it mean?
Besides, can you tell me what is "NOID-Tool" ?
thanks
The NOID-Tool would be MAupgrade_noID, which you used.
I am not sure about it, but as your device does not boot into the OS anymore, it seems reasonable to assume, that the ROM in your device is not valid anymore, due to errors while flashing it in the first place.
So - if there is no valid ROM, there is nothing, which the bootloader can write onto the SD-card.
Please try the method suggested in previous postings before anything else. If all this fails, I have no further suggestions - your device might really be dead.
You can try regular upgrade insted of doing it through SD card.
Danload shipROM, extract it and use MAupgradeNOID to run ROM and that is all you should do.

Hi,
Can you upload the rom again pls? Someone removed it from the ftp site. Like to give it a try, but can't find a prepared BS-rom anywhere.

Hi there!
The FTP-master kindly converted the file to ZIP format. It is now available here: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/BigStorage_ROMs/DE_T-Mobile_1.13.01.zip.
Remember: I used a 512 MB SD-card to create it, so maybe it won't work with smaller ones (but I think it should, since the ROM stored within this SD-card-image is no more than 64 MB in size).
Hi KK,
I found it along with the other BS roms and feel ashamed I couldn't find them. I tried it first with my 512MB card, but the cardreader won't write the file (no question about formatting whatsoever). Tomorrow I'm going to try with my 256MB mini SD card, which I know will be written by NTRW. I'll let you if I succeeded.
Regards, M
It works for sure with my 512 MB Kingston SD-card!
Don't bother about an error at the end of the ntrw-writing process. That's absolutely normal, since it would like to make the SD-card-drive the current drive, which is not possible after the writing process, as the SD-card now contains a ROM-image instead of a valid filesystem.
Hi KK,
Didn't manage to get it flashing. I used both cards but my magician doesn't accept the image somehow. No sign of any message like 'press power to load', not on serial nor on usb connection in the bootloader. It did work before with my own dumped rom, but lost the storage than, but it did accept the rom. Now it keeps awful quiet, I copied the first bytes and all, so maybe I'll give it a try with another rom. I want to sort this problem out.
Cheers, M
nbfdec made my big storage
Hello KK,
Yesterday I tried with the steps from hlt, out of the radio 1.13 upgrade thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32274. It doesn't involve any rom dumping or sd-card action whatsoever and it worked first time.Just one tool: nbfdec and a shipped rom. It is fast and simple. Thanks for your advices, hope others will try this method as well, because it is much easier than bigstorager and bytecopy etc.
M
The "no SD-card required"-method in this thread only works for shipped ROMs. The ROM i prepared is a combination of the latest german OS & Radio versions plus BigStorage, which is to my knowledge _not_ available in this combination elsewhere, and should therefore be the most up-to-date ROM usable for any german magician user with very few simple steps.
Since you require a non-german version, my ROM will not be appropriate for you, but this thread started out with a cry for help with a non-booting magician, and I thought, that my ROM-modification would be of some help here due to the simplicity in applying it and its actuality.
But be it as it may.
KK,
I had the same problem as Netmon, only bootloader and I couldn't make the sd flash. That's why I was looking for a decent rom. With the tooling found on this site I probably could turn my magacian from German to English again. Since all my storage was gone I could take the risc.
I solved my problem with the upgrade 1.13 thread and that method would have worked for Netmon to I guess, just put the magacian in bootloader connect to usb and flash with a German shipped rom or an altered version.
Anyway thanks for your time, M
Dear rilazi and all
The device has been proofed for dead by the manufacturer.
The symptom is
1) romupdate.exe can't detect the device
2) press softreset button can't reboot the device to normal screen, only display "Serial V1.02" on the screen
3) Use SD card method doesn't got any respone from the device, keep displaying "Serial V1.02"
4) Use shipped rom (with MaupgradeNo_id.exe) also can't detect the device.
I don't know whether it the V1.02 version of bootloader problem or not.
Before, I try to flash many time which it V1.01 with no problem.
So, all of the V1.02 German device (Black color Mini) should pay attention to it.
I have a bootloader v1.02, too. Absolutely no problems with flashing on my side.
Hi all,
Almost everytime I check the forum I see a lot of rom upgrade & BIG Storage questions. Apparently not everyone is familiar with the wiki and search options on the board. That's a shame cause almost all the questions are answered in the already existing threads. So why a new thread about the same topic?
1. I'm chauvinistic and want my name on the board ;-)
2. To aggregate a part of my knowledge in one place for easy access.
3. To promote the wiki
- So if you tried to upgrade your rom and got an error 120: follow this description http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade
- If you failed in upgrading your rom somehow & now you're stuck in the bootloader: just make sure usb connections are allowed in Active Sync, connect your magician with usb to your PC and run the rom upgrade program again.
Sometimes it helps at this stage to downgrade ActiveSync to version 3.8 (see the post from benenglish).
- If you need to go to bootloader for any reason (including incorrect rom upgrade) press 'camera, power and soft-reset' all at the same time for some seconds, till your screen fades and reads: Serial V1.0x. When you connect it to usb it should read ' usb V1.0x
- If you want to change the language from your magician (not including from or to Greek, cause those roms and devices are protected), just use http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade again.
- If you want to flash your magician with a charmer or any other rom, please don't you will loose your device when you kill your bootloader and that's very likely to happen while flashing a not suitable rom.
- Want a WWE BIG Storage rom the easy way? Follow http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade and download ftp://xda:[email protected]_NK.nbf/BIG_Storage_nk_for_rom_1.13WWE.zip This NK.nbf is patched for BIG Storage, you only need to put it in the directory with the extracted shipped-rom.
- Want a BIG Storage rom in any language the easy way? Download a shipped-rom from the ftp or any telco and follow http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade
- Want to get BIG Storage via a SD Card flash, read it here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianSDflash
- Don't know what BIG Storage is? It is your ext-rom (with the operator customization cabs) exchanged for a larger internal Storage folder. So remember to backup those cabs before upgrading.
- When you want to revert from BIG Storage to the original Storage and ext-rom combination, make sure you put > 8MB data in your Storage folder before flashing it back with a normal rom. Otherwise you'll loose your Storage folder completely :-(. Seems that this might be a solution & doesn't work for everyone. Try it if reverting with empty \Storage folder isn't successful.
Any questions left, I guess so. Now don't be scared and put them on the board, nobody is going to eat you (at least not straight away) and someone will answer.
But remember that when this topic is still visible in the first page of this board I will probably stop answering new threads about BIG Storage and rom upgrading questions, I've done that for 5 months now and I'm starting to loose my interest.
Regards, M
Ps If you're really stuck in a rom upgrade & can't get it working, last resort is to pinpoint me to a location where I can download your rom-dump or the shipped-rom & I can prepare it for you. All it takes is a cup of coffee on my, for now, virtual world trip. Got Italy, Cyprus, Argentina, Asia, UK, Germany, Belgium, Greece, Turkey & US allready. So if you're living in any other country, especially Indonisia, Australia or New Zealand, be my guest.
Great job OLTP..
Your the man :lol:
- If you failed in upgrading your rom somehow & now you're stuck in the bootloader: just make sure usb connections are allowed in Active Sync, connect your Magician with usb to your PC and run the rom upgrade program again.

My upgrade was stuck at this stage - removed Activesync 4.0 - Installed 3.8 and ran the firmware update again - its now "Upgrade Radio Stack - Please wait" with the progress bar going along on the screen.
Hope this helps
I've heard/read more complaints about Act.Sync 4.0. Though 4.0 is working flawless on my side, every contribution that works is valuable information. I updated the first post with it.

Big storage
I did a big storage for my Mini by using a copy of my rom, changing the bytes as told in the guide to upgrading with a HEX Editor. I have installed programs to new storage gained but my main memory is showing very little memory. I have no programmes installed in main memory. What should I do now ?
How much memory have you got free. I got now, on my fully loaded device, 9.6MB storage & 22.5MB program memory occupied.
Did you happen to load all the cabs you copied from your ext-rom again? Those cabs install in RAM.
Cheers, M
stotage lost
pls help... i lost my storage when i flash my mini in my stock shipped rom i followed instruction of olps to soted data at least 8mb of files but it didnt works still lost my storage...
how can i back it again..is there any hope?..
thanks
First thing to do is to load the BIG Storage rom again. This should give you back the \Storage folder.
Now did you use the same rom version for BIG Storage as your original rom version? Some do claim it needs to be at least the same country version.
So pls try to revert to the same version only without BS & you can always try with an empty \Storage folder.
Seems that some tricks work out different on several devices.
Good luck, M

Can I upgrade my Mda compact 2 also with a sd-card like the compact ?
When I make a hardreset with the card in the slot, i cannot chosse to install from sd-card.
That's something I don't know. Try one of the board's for WM5 devices like the Wizard. Maybe you can find your info there.

[edit] could you append it here too pls, if you find it?
Hi OLTP,
Right now I have 8.04mb free in storage memory (big hack). In MAIN memory around 3.10 mb in program memory (in use 23.47 mb). Storage (main) - in use 28.29 mb and free 2.55 mb. This keeps going less and less so from time to time as I use and close programs. So I keep doing a soft reset. I get critical memory short error. What do I do.
Should I flash with my saved original ROM (the one I had before doing the hack) and then immediately flash the saved Big Rom ? Please let me know. You are the Guru.
@ Galahad: What kind of software did you install after the update? & how's the memory pressure right after a hard-reset (don't forget to make a proper backup first)?
Do you use cabinstl to install cabs to another location then 'default' (which is RAM)? & tell Act.Sync to install to Storage or Storage Card, otherwise your RAM will be used up very soon.
My advice no need to reflash right now, a hard-reset should be sufficient to see what is causing your prob.
M
After the hack I had installed couple of commercial software, all into storage memory thru active sync which prompts you where you want to install. I choose storage memory (26.92). I keep doing this for all the commercial software I need to install. When I finished doing this I had 6 mb free. so far so good. Then I started installing cabs files from Ext Rom copy on harddisk, with cabinst. These were smart dial cab, O2 connect and a few other (which I thought necessary) cab files. These too I installed into storage memory. If my memory serves me right, I started experiencing a sudden slide down in memory after this. Before this I had around 25 mb memory free. Then suddenly the slide down in memory. In fact Resco today plug in shows me the dramatic slidedown as if the memory is getting sucked down a black hole.
I will do a hard reset as suggested by you and then load my software into storage memory. This time I will not install cab files from Ext Rom. Is that OK ?
Your O2 software is def. causing your probs. If you need some apps from it, try WinCECabManager. With it you can see which files are stored where on your device. After cab installation you can move them to eg. \Storage\Windows & change all links & reg keys referring to those files. Or change tea cab-file of course. It can take some time, but ves a huge amount of RAM.
M
Thanks ! I will try your suggestion. Have never used WINceCab Manager. Hope it is not too technical.
Not for me, it's a bit like explorer. But then again I'm not standard.
Some good news !
Like I said, I had around 24 mb free memory after the big storage hack (after installing all applications, whether in storage memory or storage card).
The good news is that all my FREE MEMORY has come back. Don't know really how it happened. I was using my blue tooth device which I switched thru the icon on the screen bottom right.
In error I touched the icon to rotate screen orientation. When I finally got my orientation correctly, I also got all my lost memory.
IMAGINE THAT !
Thanks for all your quick responses and great help you gave me. I will surely emulate you helping ways.

Hi all, im new here in terms of posting but have been reading for a while now.
I have a Plam Treo 750 vodafone which is unlocked. I installed vodafone wm6 update on it a month ago... but since then i've stopped using the phone due to this:
I'm used to fast systems such as my linux desktop and i was really frustrated how the wm6 interface is slow. Even with few progs installed the phone gets very sluggish and hanging up calls even takes time.
Now here's my question:
Is there any way to speedup WM6 ? or install a custom WM6 that is faster ?
I tried Rest of the World wm6 ROM but it wouldn't install on my phone when i opened the installer it would say not compatible.
Would this speedup my phone ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=345748
What should i do... i really love the phone and its features... but i just want wm6 to run faster so that the phone is usable.
thanks

I've never done something like this before and have no idea how to begin.. I can't find any guides only random text throughout the posts so i don't know what applies to me and what doesn't. I'm really worried about damaging my phone by doing something stupid.
My Phone:
750v from vodafone UK with vodafone wm6... but it was unlocked by previous owner... since i can use it on other phone providers in other countries. I have usb cable and 1Gig microSD.
The installation notes of the rom say i need to install Hard-SPL then flash radio then flash OS. Now for Hard-SPL do i need to install it if my phone is unlocked because i read some confusing posts there... then what is a radio flash do i need to do that ? how does it affect radio...
then after that i need KaiserCustomRUU.exe to flash the rom... i only found a post about CustomRUU with "RUUWrapper.zip" is that the same thing... sorry but i'm really confused and need someone to guide me through the process for my first time if possible.
You are ready to go. Download the ROM from Chaimd on the 750 Upgrading thread, rename it to CHEEIMG.nbh (the ROM file name the 750 expects to see) and copy it to the root of your miniSD card.
Insert the miniSD card, hold down the bottom right button on the side while you do a reset and the bootloader will start. And away you go.
Make sure you backup (backup program is best) all your data - it starts you out with fresh device and default settings. ROM works perfectly - fast and lots of extra storage.

I tried to install the rom straight away... i put the ROM on my memory card root and renamed it, then did the reset with sidebutton...and i got to the wierd colors screen and nothing happenes after that.
It says on the screen:
Palm Tr

In the end nothing happens... this method doesnt work. i tried using KaiserRUU.exe update method but also that doesn't work it gives me and "Error [260]: Connection" even though activesync is connected... please tell me what i can do to install this rom.
i posted the question in the thread for the cooked rom. i guess this is not the right place to ask thus no one is replying.
sd needs to be formatted fat32 - re-format card to fat32, re-copy cheeimg and try again. Google or search here for the available formatting apps.

If your Palm Treo is unlocked, you still need to install Hard SPL but just run step 1 and ignore step 2 & 3. This will allow you to flash your Treo with ROM's other than your provider as well as modified/cooked ROM's like the one made by Chaimd.

You'll need to go back to a base X7510 ROM. The X7500/X7501 ROMs don't have the drivers you need for your flash drive.

True at the moment. I'd imagine that it would be quite possible to create a ROM with both sets of drivers... although I'm not sure if there's enough demand for anybody to go through the trouble.
Thank you
Thank you Ladies and gentlemen.
After all, it seems to be impossible.
Because being not able to do now is only an access to the keyboard relation
and the flash drive, it uses it as it is until custom ROM for the official
update or x7510 comes out.
Because ‥ it has rewritten it without carelessly backing up and
taking it. lol

Try registering your X7510 at HTC Europe so you can gain access to their support staff, they might also have the WWE ROM that came preinstalled on our device. In that way you can be sure you are flashing it this time with the correct ROM.

(Did I miss anything?)
I will keep this for a few days at least, and report on its stability.
I am using HTC Home Screen, to keep things simple.
Tomorrow expect a report on the G4: I am curious to see how the Extended ROM works on that model.
Thanks for cooking.
Thanks, I know that it works on the G3. Not responsible for damage by flash on G4!
PLEASE DON'T FLASH ON G4. You can brick you'r device!
Okay, I won't try on G4.
The experience on my G3 has been quite good. The ROM is minimal but stable, fast, with plenty of RAM. I have loaded it with many apps, switched to threaded SMS, etc, and it still has over 20M free ram. My only complaint is a matter of personal taste: I really like the finger scrolling that comes with Windows Mobile 6.5 and some of the TouchFlo 6.1 ROMs.
But I will keep this on my G3 for a while.
Hi,
I can not download it from rapidshare, "limit reached" ...

Is write-access to Ext-ROM realy working? How did you do it?
Why not flashing to a G4 Wizard? Is IPL/SPL included?
this rom had abilities to brick G4 devices since to unlocked ExtROM.
yes, read-write ExtROM is working really great, but only on G3. I have in this cabs
Flashing a selfmade Ext-ROM and unhiding an EXT-ROM is no problem for a G4 device. I did it more then once and never had a problem. (Information that a G4-Save ROM must not have an Ext-ROM are wrong! IPL/SPL must not be included!)
Is unlocking (write access) realy a problem for a G4? Did anyone test it?
Can anyone provide information on how to unlock the Ext-ROM or do I have to flash this ROM to check the reg-keys for my self?
Once again please ...
New download link please ...
Thanks in advance ...

It's tested. ROM for G4 with write access is *NOT ENFORCEABLE* for simple cooker (like me), may be for person from HTC with Wizard's source code for Platform Builder. In this rom ExtROM, IPL/SPL are not included. But after flash into G4.. you device are bricked in 50%..
1. On G4 after flash, you Wizard stay on 2nd screen (IPL/SPL/GSM/OS).
2. After reflash OTHER WORKING ROM, device stays on 3rd screen (welcomehead), you don't can calibrate screen, but system after delete "welcome.lnk" from statup working without touch (like smartphone with pro rom)!
on G3 works very good.
of course, it's amazing.. i don't know how to repair this
Please release this ROM again
I was one of the ten to get this experimental ROM, and it was quite good.
Now, alas, I have lost my copy.
Ham3r, could you please release this again, perhaps after fixing anything you didn't like the first time? Put "G3" in the title so we don't mess up G4 phones.
I installed several applications onto the extrom, including spb mobile shell, and saw no problems with reading or writing. I don't know how the read and write speeds compare with normal internal flash. It would be good to know that, to better decide what to install in what area.
Also, can the same TrueFFS driver be used in WM6.5?

I cooking new rom (with office, games..). Speed of internal and extrom is the same (extrom is on internal flash yet, but is on seperated partition). Driver is the same for Internal and ExtROM. I tested WM 6.5 with unlocked ExtROM, works "so good!"
btw. my roms are on my 4shared: http://www.4shared.com/dir/11060505/134ad87f/sharing.html
