HTCMAG_ROM_WWE_03 error No Radio - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading

hi there.
i recently upgraded to HTCMAG_ROM_WWE_O1 however when i started it up i got the splash screen with the Bad Radio! error.
I tried updating to the wwe_02 and than wwe_03 roms. to the same affect. However since upgrading to wwe_03 i have gotten the No Radio! error. It runs fine and loads to mobile 6, however i obviously dont get the phone features.
I also tried updating the radio rom, both through usb. But to no avail. I've been trying to go the SD route however i am getting the following error:
pc->drive.total_lba=7A70
pc->drive.num_heads=2
pc->drive.sec_p_track=20
pc->drive.num_cylinders=1E9
pc->drive.block_size=200
pc->drive.features=0
pc->drive.RCA=1
pc->drive.drv_type=40000000
pc->drive.securedAreaSize=0
pc->drive.securityDrv=0
pc->drive.busWidth=1
pc->drive.erasedSize=0
Total card size=F4E000
************Add SD card record info is fail!
and on the unit it says:
Add record is error!
I just tried to ignore it and continued the steps but upon reinserting the SD with the modifiedradio rom nothing happened but another error:
Sections = 1 Now Allow
Update
any help or suggestions would be wonderful.

probably card is wrong, try another card.

nope, apparently i am doing something wrong as its failed to work on 3 separate cards

i wonder if it is because i am using parallels xp on my vista. have there been any reported problems using xp emulation?

try to clear to zero begin of card (1024 bytes for example) via WinHex.

thanks for the help.
I decided to try to run a fresh install of htcmag_rom_wwe_01 through a xp machine rather than parallels and it went through great.
it installed the radio back to 1.12 and than i upgraded back to wwe_03 and everything seems a go! Im guessing that something was wrong with one of my parallels settings. Something minor that i wouldnt have noticed before.

I'm glad to see you got it working!

Struck by an MDA brick!!

Made a huge error.....didnt go through forums and read instructions before trying to Flash a German T-Mobile MDA Compact to a English ROM....
The device is completely dead....
Followed all the steps required to get it back up...It is refusing to do so though....
Used this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=19500
One thing to note is that I am not using the AC charger, am using the USB cable to charge the phone.
Can someone please helpme...
Haven't got past the bootloader mode...
If you followed the instructions from the other thread, it should have started flashing.
Some things to check on:
1) Did you do a full d2s before you attempted the upgrade? It's always good to have something to fall back on.
2) If you can get to a bootloader screen, all is definitely not lost.
3) Sometimes, it takes 4 or 5 minutes for the "Press to flash" comes up on the screen so be patient with that.
4) Make sure you did exactly a 416 byte copy from the original rom file in to the new flash file.
5) You can only write an nb1 file from the pc AFTER it has been created from the pocket pc. If the SD card has been pc formatted, the nb1 file will write to it but the pocket pc won't recognize it and will just sit there at the bootloader screen.
HTH
I think I fired the MDA
Well I did not create the nbf file from the ppc, downloaded it from the the forum FTP. I do not have the backup of the nbf file. As I mentioned I did not read the forums before trying the update.
I just downloaded the T-Mobile ROM update and tried installing it. Obivousioly it didn't work, Game the dreaded the 112 error in the 3rd step.
Am not even getting the bootlader screen now..
Any ideas on how I can get this device up and running.?...
ok, need some clarification here. "What" are you trying to load (nbf files or nb1 files) and how are you trying to load them (SD flash or the standard USB based upgrade)?
Easy enough to check to see if your device can still get to bootload mode....hold the camera and power switches in at the same time and hit soft reset with your stylus. After letting go of those and you see either "Serial" or "USB" at the top of the screen, you should still be able to recover from this.
Tried with the nb1 files not nbf (sorry abt teh error)..
The bootloader screen was showing up ...unitll I tried the T-Mobile MDAcompact_vers11201
After the 112 error while updating...the device now refusing to get to the bootloader mode.
Have I fried the device and made it unusable....?
hey just got back the bootloader screen...
Take the SD card out, disconnect the USB and tell me what happens when you hold the power and camera buttons in at the same time, then hit the soft reset.
Also, has the unit been charged recently?
Its showing Serial v1.00...after the reset.
Its been on the USB chatge all along.....
Great. If you get Serial at the top, this can be recovered.
If you want a good T-Mobile 1.12 rom file, go here and use this one:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Magician/tmobile-uk_wwe_ROM_1.12.00(thereapermanl).rar
Unpack it and follow all the procedures about copying the 416 bytes, rewriting the file, etc. from the other thread. I have tested this rom file and it installs ok.
Thanks for the encouraging words...
Will it work even if I do not have a backup of the original ROM on my machine?....I only have the tmobile.nb1 file which I got from the XDA forums.
Lemme try using that and editing it.
Thanks a ton for your help.
You might be a little stuck for an nb1 flash if you don't have an original flash back up but don't fear. You can go here and get this WWE1.12 file and just do a USB type upgrade:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Magician/Shipped_ROMS/WWE_11200_128_11210_ship.exe
I know this one works too. It's ROM 1.12, Radio 1.12 and Ext_ROM 1.12. When you try to run the upgrade program though, it might give you a Country ID error. If so, use the attached upgrade program instead. If this one gives you a Country ID error again, close the program and just run it again. I've been down all these roads already.
Lemme get this right this time: I will be doing the following
1. Install the ROM as you have mentioned. With the country id hack if necessary
2. Hopefully by now the device would be alive. If so will take a backup of the ROM on the SD card
3. From then on follow the instruction given in the doc.
Hope I get it righ this time else Its going to be a long night for me.
Lemme know if I have to do anything else.
Either ROM will work fine for you. It just depends on whether or not you want I-Mate stuff on it or T-Mobile stuff on it.
Doing the USB upgrade will put the I-Mate ROM on but after that, it should be working and you can then do an SD backup, follow the SD flashing procedures and get the T-Mobile ROM on.
Good Luck!
The masupgrateut is throwing up a ruu.dll error?...you seen that one before?
What sort of error? Not found?
yup...
I extracted the ROM exe and found teh file...copied it to the windows folder..and ran the no id program...no error this time round but the update is still giving a COuntry ID error...
Been looking at various posts...specially this one...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=14973
Thinks thats gonna help?
ok...two things.....just run it again. The no ID program sometimes does that on the first time 'round so just run it again.
Second, stick this at the end of the RUU.conf file:
[CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1
ran the program multiple times...still getting the COuntry ID error...
Are you running this program? MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
...with the change in the RUU.conf file?
I just noticed something....did you extract all the files to a single directory and just run it from there or did you just pull a few out?
ALL the files have to be in the same directory. This is also where you need to execute the installer program.

Error when trying to flash [SOLVED]

I've got a problem with not being able to flash anything or even run Hard SPL. I'm running windows xp professional, and i have one of NRG's roms on my phone and my wifes is stock. It's not the rom, its something to do with my computer but cant figure out what it is. I've never flashed a rom from this computer before.
below is a picture of the error i get. if you guys need any more info, let me know. this is driving me crazy!
yes it was the .NET framework. figured it out about 10 mins after i posted it then left the house!
thank you for your help
I do believe you're missing the .NET framework; that's what causes those 0x135 errors (the system is looking for the .NET to handle its byte-code and not finding it.)
You can download it here.
Additionally, if you're having more trouble flashing, you can always flash via a MicroSD card- there's a guide on the wiki.

y'know, ive tried numerous times to flash via micro-sd card and every time was a failure. im following the steps (or at least think i am) but it just reboots normally as if theres not a ROM on the card. I'd love to be able to do it since its a helluva lot faster. ill keep tinkering, appreciate it.

T-Mobile G1 1.6, kernel 2.6.29, unrooted - cyanogen help!

Hey all,
Over the last few days, I've spent a large amount of time researching a way to flash cyanogen onto my phone. I've gone though this tutorial:
http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/10/04/how-to-install-cyanogenmod-4-1-99-on-your-g1-android-phone/
and come into problems here:
http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/09/21/the-complete-step-by-step-guide-to-rooting-your-android-phone/
Step 15 -- from my research, it appears that this 'hack' or 'exploit' was fixed since 1.6 was released. This prevents me from backing up and loading nandroid to flash with cyanMOD. The error is "Can't backup" or something very general like that.
So, I went to the IRC channel and got great help from 'franta' which suggested that I need to 'goldcard' my sim. I found a website that will do it for free, but it looks sketchy and it appears that I need 2 sim cards to do this (1 would be to goldcard, and the other is my t-mobile, right?)
So, all in all, a few questions and if I could be lead in the right direction, would be very helpful and appreciated!
1.) Is goldcard the way to go? Why?
2.) Do I really need 2 sim cards? Why?
3.) Are there any other solutions to this? I've tried about 3 other ones which have resulted in a complete wipe (kinda needed that anyway!)
Thanks for the help in advance!

Issue is, when I downgrade from R30, I cannot format my SDCARD to FAT32.
Whenever I try, the SDCARD automatically unmounts and remains as a FAT. Is this a known problem I will have to endure until there is another way around this?
I should note I've tried XP, Vista, and Windows 7 computers (I have Ubuntu access, but haven't tried that).
Infact, if I even venture into "manage" for My Computer OR format via cmd prompt it unmounts itself. /facepalm

Impossible to root myTouch3G (Fender Edition)

It was released 1/20/10, I think it has stuff that makes me not be able to do so.
With this information can someone direct me to an appropriate SPL, I already tried "ROM v2.53.707.2 (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010) - MD5 : F9674D19BE5F949D0D9DC99714D210E3" It said "invalid device" "update fail"

u need to get Amon Recovery running on the phone before u can update to the 1.33.2010 ENG SPL. Theres afew diff ways of doing this.
(1)I did it by installing the android devvelopment kit (note u need to install java then update the kit), after setting it up then install windows usb drivers for Androidso that your computer detects the phone as an adb device (not a storage device) then using Dos CMD prompt type "fastboot boot recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img" while in fastboot mode (which u need to download). your phone will not have the amon recovery installed on the phone at this time but it will boot from your PC through to your phone. Kinda neat. use that recovery to flash the 2010 SPL. Once 2010 spl is flashed u r good as gold to flash any new custom recovery and or rom.
(2) If u don't understand all of this try relentless rooter which can be downloaded from XDA here
(3) youtube guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8BZYEBsSws
Try #3 to some point although u have to change few files because he has a 32B board and u have a 32A.
First decide on a method then ask afew more questions. Help will be just around the corner here
relentless rooter
When i first started using this program it gave me a lot of DOS file not found errors clicking on the buttons so then I took the entire tools folder and lumped it into the relentless rooter program which was calling for like c:/rooter and c:/rooter/root respectively.
I have usb drivers button fine, usb device shows device attached, root files pushes files over to my SDCARD, fastboot seems to be my problem i click it and it says "waiting for device" and just sits.. ugh.. help?
COuld you try and get a dump off the phone?
I was just on my way to the tmobile shop to get one of these and came here to see if people had problems. They are updating it to 2.1 in about may.... but Id like to know if its rootable before I go spend $200 for a pretty phone
Having the same problem here. Seems as though it says Invaild ID when trying to downgrade. ANy help witht his would b great. SO much new reading from the g1 to this.. I dont understand half of it.

We should stick together on this one since we are both having the same issue man! I also have the same problem! When I tried other SPL's to downgrade after no luck with one with a higher number than the one installed I get errors like "invalid id" etc...
I really feel as though all of these SPL's won't apply to us since we have 32A boards on "old radios" as I have read so far.
I am not even able to do the "one-click" root because I follow videos/tutorials to a T and mine always says "backup failed" and the top is always greyed out without me able to click it. Even if i touch to the right of the bottom button and get the top button to light up it still says backup failed or flash failed. It's not happening. I wish we had some attention on this.
I rooted the G1 EASILY i'm quite capable of doing this but im getting errors everywhere like a shot up R2D2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=579328
Followed those instructions to a T and got "invalid model ID!" after trying to apply sappimg.nbh..
I had issues using the one touch root on my Rogers htc magic that i got about a month ago. It kept saying backup failed so i tried the older version of the one touch root software. It again said backup failed so i kinda poked around at my phone and and rebooted it then tried it again and it managed to backup everything. So i would keep poking with the one touch root and try one of the older versions.
You guys need to understand that this device is a 32A Magic.
The radio version can be 3.22 or 2.22, but it's still 32A.
You will need to goldcard this phone if you expect any results. If you are 100% sure that the goldcard method has failed, then you have to wait until the phone is rooted by other means.
(I have a 32A Magic that I have installed the Fender Edition 2.22 radio onto. I was able to flash the Fender Edition ROM with no issues. That leads me to believe that the Fender Edition MyTouch is the very first 32A Magic shipped with a 1.6 Donut OS)
I do not own a Fender MyTouch, so I am by no means an expert, but I want to help steer your discussions towards a proper solution for rooting the phone. (If anyone wants to send me a Fender MyTouch, go ahead )

I tried creating a goldcard, I have the 16gb sandisk, 4gb sandisk, and a 2gb kingston.
I tried all of the cards following these methods, but when I insert it into the phone it says "damaged sd card" I have to format and try again or what?
I used the kingston solely because a person had luck with it. I got my goldcard.img made 2 zeros in the CID, did offsets correctly pasted and saved. what am I doing wrong?
What I have been doing is using the mytouch, mounting the sd card, and doing it like that since I do not have an SDcard reader on my desktop computer, but i dont think that would mess anything up. get back to me, I want to try goldcard since you had luck with it and the fedner, please!

Nope.. your doing it correctly. I have had the same results. tried 2 8gb, a 4gb, a 2gb and the 16gb it came with.. a no go on any of them for a gold card. guess Ill just have to live with it till somethign else comes along and figures it out.

experience from the forum shows that most people go wrong on this step:
16) Install and launch HxD Hex Editor program
17) Go to Extra tab > Open Disk. Under Physical disk, select Removable Disk (Must be your SD card), uncheck “Open as Readonly), click OK.
people seems to be selecting "Logical Disk" (i think thats the other option, please corect me if im wrong) instead of "Physical Disk", there for getting the "damaged sd card" error

Nope.. There is open.. Open Disk and open disk image. I was up till 3am trying each sd card over and over with same results. But now knowing that the SPL is hiher then the downgragables I belive we are just going to have to wait till these are out more. Unfourtunatly, it being a limited edition... we may be screwed lol. Ive got another pc and 2 last sd cards to try today. lol Ive even got a 32mb one... and if that one is the only one that takes the hex edit ill be so mad lol cause it wont fit the nbh file.
EDIT- IM SUCH A DUMBASS lol.. I see what you meant by logical and physical now. I had been clicking logical disk allllll night and always having to reformat the card. Then.. since it was so late when I was doing this, Ikept using the same goldcard.img for all the sd cards lol. So I tried again today, made the gol card correctly and it still was found by the PC... But it stlll gives device error as before. Ill go through getting the cid # from the other cards later when im bored.
My main problems with now not wanting to root this phone...
1. The music player will be gone.. it is nice.
2. 2.0/2.1 is supposed to be offcialy released for it within the next few weeks according to 2 of the Tmobile guys I alked to, one being the regional manager.
If anyone figures it out im all for trying to again.... But for now Ill learn to live with my vanilla dounut. Mmmmm Vanilla Doughnuts
lol
But I cant ever give up on anythign like this so I give it about 5min before im bored enough to start again.

Dude im dying every day staying up until 3am as well trying to pwn this phone. I go to bed sleep, wake up, and sign onto xda to see wtf is what. It's like another dude somewhere out there is having the SAME issues.
I work for t-mo as I said, I have not heard about any new OS plans for fender edition mytouch / mytouch 3g.
Im 100% positive that im creating goldcard correctly, I have 3 unique CID's that I reverse, replace with two zeros, use the correct image, open and uncheck read only on the removable disk, open goldcard, copy offset 00-0017 (however many zeros it said, copy paste save, close) plug back in, "you need to format this card" -windows "damaged sd card" -mytouch.

The press release from tmobile states that 2.1 will be coming to all devices that will support it. Meaning without root size wise, which Im thinking may toss the g1 out for 2.1, but maybe not 2.0. But I was specifly told also that 2.1 will be released for this mytouch, and it is also, obviously, the first to be released with 1.6 donut on it.
Also.. When you get the format disk error.. are you looking down the list on the **** drive to the bottom where it says Physical/removable? I found that the only time it gives me the format error is when I open it in hex where it says Logical rather then physical. If you go to the bottom and hit the physical one, and paste and save I can still open the sd card on the pc and phone.... BUT, it still will not downgrade.
EDIT- Since im still new to this.... Ive noticed that most rooting takes downgrading first. Now, does this mean that the ohones NAND's are set up like say the PSP where the IPL files can be changed to only allow certain firmware? Can it be that having the first phone with a base rom of 1.6 make it to where we cant go down past 1.6? Im still teetering on weather I should put it back in the box and use my G1 till the offcial 2.0/2.1 comes out or keep trying. But I woul dhate damaging it trying to get it to do something it cant.
Thanks to anyone else who gets one to test, I I had the money I would buy a dev one just for this purpose.

If you are referring to the Fender edition as "the first to be released with 1.6 donut on it" then you are incorrect.
I have a non fender edition that I purchased 2 weeks ago with donut 1.6, DCR92 build.
Apparently there are some rooting issues with DCR92/1.6donut/1.33.0007spl....from what I understand.

my SPL ends with 0013, not sure how much of a diffrence that makes. But I honestly thought i read in these forums that this was the first made with 1.6 and not updated to. but maybe I read wrong. All I know is that no trick works as of yet. Ill start again tonight when the kids go to sleep, but for it being a 32a board, I dont really see to many roms I wana try lol
So when you make the gold card does your phone read it or it stops before it loads the file from it? it sounds like the gold card is not created corectly...
The android version is irelevant so is the radio. to load anything, you need engeneering SPL. That will allow you to load any image,(radio,boot,recovery,system...) fastboot with full functionality.

it goes through most of the process of reading the sappimg file and once the prgress bar reaches the end and it goes through checking and all that it stops with the error. Also trying to get into fastboot it give the error that a perfected spl gives so done on both accounts. Ive now made what I think is a working goldcard but dont know if I want to proceed if im going to destroy it if I can get anything back on it.
also... I think im done with it for now till a smarted person gets this done. I really believe that this 1.6 version is a bit different then others, and also the spl seems to be a pain in the arse. I really cant afford a bricked phone, much less one I waited a very long time to get. I tried lol, but in the end my ADD defeated me.

Model ID error means that the gold card you created is no good. You need to remake it. There is a thread in the General section that describes a better method to try.
Make sure your phone is in disk mode when making the gold card. Try a different micro sd card and make sure you fully format the card, "DONT" do a quick format.

hopefully your right...i dont have another micro sd card and im not ganna buy another 1 but im currently formatting it instead of quick format then ill use hxd again and then try downgrading hope it works
There is an app in the market called goldcard helper. Just make sure and copy mmc2. It defaults to mmc1. Hope this helps
I was in the same boat for a while. It seems when I was doing the copy of goldcard.img over to the actual card it wasn't working. I ended up going the HxD route to copy the data over to the card and selected PHYSICAL disk instead of logical like I had been and it worked without issue after that
Well question is why when I make gold card why does it contain symbols and letters makes no.sense

well i went into astro manager and deleted the files i could find that were for it and im now pushing them back to the sdcard so guess ill findout what happens might need to try and do the goldcard again
for anyone having this problem still(i just got mine working) all i had to do was format the sdcard again i just did the quick format then i used the command prompt way of getting the cid code instead of the last few times i used the goldcard helper app and copied the code pasted it into the site that reverses it then when to get my goldcard made and it worked i noticed it was different dont know what i was doing before but if u do it right its really easy. then i just downgraded currently doing that and its working PERFECT

I think the Goldcard Helper app already reverses it for you...
I've tried everything still get that error
I had the same problem its your antivirus and/or firewall you hav to disable your firewall and completely uninstall your antivirus and it will work fine

I don't have a anti virus and I just turned off my firewall...maybe its a bad download

This error is due to your goldcard. You have to redo it.
Sent from Desire HD or Inspire 4G or whatever this thing is called via premium XDA app.
But im making the goldcard right.... ive followed even 14 different instructions and non of them work =/
Once your fire wall is off and antivirus is uninstalled, download which ever rooting app u use then run it from beginning. I used bubbys rootind app and it was so easy.
