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.

I am also working on a Full Version with a lot of apps and Utilities, but i would show your reaction on this rom
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!!

"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 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.
A heads up for you guys, since you would probably like this functionality for your Vox's.

I did it also, but nothing happened
it may interest all you vox owners (like myself), that I have looked thru the coding of that cab and have been coding all the nessesary bits for it to work on our phones. I'm still working on the cpr file (the one that positions everything), and then I will cab it all up. im still trying to contact the developer to see if he knows whys its not installing thou (and to make sure its okay to poke around in his file!)
EDIT>>
I've just noticed the developer has changed his use of the TestUIPlugin slide for the use of the welcome screen slide, due to reliability and positioning, BUT I personally use the welcome slide for shortcuts, and have had no issues with the testuiplugin slide, plus I notice the welcome screen cannot refresh like the testui one can, so i'm sticking with it. If anyone is interested in my cpr file, or others, I can post them.
Kos letme know when your cab is ready...
thank you
So.. is it possible to install the weather plugin on the Vox? Please post the cpr file or whatever is needed to install it.
If you go the original thread in the Excalibur forum, you can download the cab there and install it on your Vox. It uses the WelcomeCenter plugin which is already properly formatted for the Vox as well. Go download it and try it
I tried every version posted in the Excalibur thread and it doesn't install. It says i don't have sufficient permissions. Rebooted, tried again and still nothing...
EDIT: Found the original version and it still does not install...

The solution I found to make it work is to install everything manually including the creation of the registry keys... :| :S ....but it works now ;P
Well, now I have an issue: everytime the weather updates, my start menu dies...it just stops working...
You guys should try unlocking your device with the SDA Unlocker app that's floating around. That will most definitely do the trick.

FOR SAPPHIRE
I read a post earlier about fixing some apps not working.
in build.prop
change to 4 instead of 5.
ro.build.version.sdk=4
Did this and re-ran part 1 and part 2. Works fine with Handcent and facebook app working. haven't got any FC with other apps and navigation still working after a few hours and some reboots.
Uploaded a new .rar with changes to build.prop
http://www.mediafire.com/?jwhmkzay2mm
Extract All to Desktop
Run part 1 - when prompted hit any key and phone will reboot.
when up and running, run part 2.
Test nav by opening google maps and geting directions. Underneath "Show on Maps" you should see "Navigate" If you don't try installing Google Voice (fixed it for a lot of people)
If you did the above and Navigate isn't working, here is a link to the build.prop version that causes some app errors but gets nav Working

Thank for putting this all together - i'll try it later on today.
Quick question though, why would you wipe after you install the rooted base? Would that not defy the point of installing the rooted base in the first place? Shouldn't it be: 1. Wipe, 2. rootedbase.zip, 3. Reboot, 4. cynwmap.zip?

Yeah that looks correct to me. My understanding was 1. Wipe 2. Flash base 3. Reboot in recovery again 4. Flash Cynwmap
Also: If we already are already running CM 4.2.3.1 can we just flash the cynwmap.zip over the top without worrying about flashing the base again?
if i wanted to just run part 1.bin how would i do this? i tried and i got some errors about the files not existing.

That should work to push the correct buid props, the reason that the rooted base was put in there, was to add the maps to the original package...
I'm going to modify this later tonight to make it just a patch update deal...
Got a micro-bio test in the AM
and yes, i had the first two instructions fliped.. i'll edit to correct it.
What are the odds Cyanogen puts something like this in the next update?
I hope so
ps, first post, been rooted and running Cyanogenmod for a week or so now, really digging it.

I went to "get directions" and typed in the addresses and whatnot, but didn't get any navigation? Maybe someone can enlighten me (isn't it supposed to be turn by turn voice?). Thanks

No...nothing of the sort. It just looked like the normal Google Maps app to me
My steps EXACTALLY
Ok here's what I did, and its only for the **mt3g** (possibly the sapphire)
1. used amon's recovery and partitioned my card 3 ways.
2. enabled USB mass storage from recovery
3. Wiped
4. choose update ---> rooted base.zip
5. reboot right into recovery
6. wipe again (probably repetitive)
7. choose update ---> cyan w map.zip
8. wipe again for good measure (again probably repetitive)
9. reboot
at this point i get the familiar cyan boot, it goes into the setup and says welcome to droid.
I skip all setup because I have to use wifi, probably not relevant but that is what I do.
Enable wifi.
click on maps (which you will see has a different logo now)
enter 2 USA addresses
click get directions
it finds directions and right under show on map, it says navigate.
clicked on navigate.
I then get prompted to download voices, click download
sign-in to google shiz
download voice pacakage
rerun maps and do a directions again
click navigate
EDIT:
There is a possibility that you will have to clear the data that is stored in the applications:
Settings
Applications
scroll to maps
Click on clear data
done.

Hello My Friends I've Heard You Are Having Troubler Installing The New Upgrade Or Understanding What Is Needed To Be Done.
Note: THIS IS A WINDOWS BASED HOW TO AND WILL WORK ON WINDOWS ONLY
Before I Start I must Say, This Is a combination of process and I have not created any of those files or own the right to them so all the links are the same links found on other posts from where i got the info, so by downloading those files you are, supporting them not me i take no credit for this work
Well Here Is the quick Easy Guide In How To Do This
-Fist we Need To Get The Tools To Perform This Operation
pulled From This Tread we need
1. Motorola Drivers For Either 32 or 64 Bits
2. RSD Lite, witch is a tool for flashing your phone.
3. The GOT Open Recovery ToolUpdate: Added Latest version from G.O.T.'S Blog

EDIT: G.O.T. Has Added the burnerable open recovery to these sfb files so no need to flash it latter
-Now That We Have The Stuff We Need We are going to do it, fist i must say that unlike other roms that are applied by a backup restore (corect me if im whrong) this is a full flash and its going to reset everything so no apps will remain no setting will remain and is highly recommended that you uninstall every app you have, don't back them up(except for apps some apps that have a create backup file, those seem to work) just uninstall them, and when we are done have them installed again, Here Is A Tool That Will Help You Get There Faster
1.ok you have everything uninstalled right? now time for some action
2.install the proper divers (32 or 64)
3.install the RSD Lite tool
4.unzip the 2.2.1 FIRMWARE FILES you downloaded and you will find a ".sbf" file
5.now connect your phone to USB cable and turn it off
6.boot it in boot-loader mode (press the D-PAD UP key while pressing the power button), some night need you to release the button after a minute, a black screen will be shown on your phone and you will see the divers being installed on your computer.
7.when drivers are done open the RSD Lite tool and your device should appear you can click on it to see details.
8.now click on the "..." buttons that are close to the start button and look for the ".sbf" file, after a couple of seconds it should be ready to start
9.press the start button and do not unplug the cable or let your computer show the screen saver or go to sleep, the posses must not be stopped while it has started .
10.when the posses is done the devise will restart and voala, you have 2.2
-As GOT stands there are some bugs on the firmware and they have developed a fix to them and get root and overclock, here is what you have to do.
1. unzip the got open recovery tool into the root of your SD card
2.check this quote
NOTE: On some devices, we have encountered that rooting directly after flashing without rebooting after the initial flash can bring some issues with RootExplorer not asking for root permissions. To be safe, reboot after flash so that the “welcome to milestone” menu comes up, set up the device in general, then reboot to recovery and root the device as well as apply our 2.2.1 tweaks with Launcher, Services.jar fix and Wireless Tethering app.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
this means if the fist time your milestone got restarted and you saw "Welcome to Milestone" Message You are good an you can root.
but if you didn't then restart you phone and see if the message comes out, if not , a factory reset should have that scree message shown.
3. open the open recovery by pressing camera and power button at the same time while the device id off. you should see a scree with a "!" symbol on it then press fist volume rocker up button a leave it pressed then press camera button, some letter will pop out.
4. using the pad scroll down to "apply update.zip", after a couple of seconds the GOT menu should pop out (everything from now on uses the pad)
5.root your phone (why not)
6.go down to "Launch 2.2.1 Menu" Option.
7.Here you will see the "Fix Bugs They Are Talking About
One of the first things you should do is use the “Fix 2.2.1 bugs” selection in the new OR 2.2.1 menu after you flash the sbf file.
This tweak will fix some of the issues with the generic sbf build such as dual USB notifications, replacing some stock Motorola applications such as the old launcher/mediagallery and adding the Wireless Tethering application.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
8. there is the overclock too.
Now your device should have all the things you need to start playing with it,I encourage you to check on some tweaks the GOT team might have, and you might want.
I Hope This Was Helpful enjoy ^_^

your Should use the rom depending on which band your phone has
German milestone should work with Europe ROM
under setting about phone check the Build Number
and look for that same number in here
http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone
it will give us an idea where the phone is actually from

for me it's working perfectly. RTEU
Thank for this tutorial.
My milestone works fine so far, but 3g mobile hotspot and wireless tether not working.
Flash on milestone is so cool
something i don't get
I updated the firmware with RSD Lite, and used the one click tool, because:
whenever i try to hit update.zip i will get an errormessage, stating that these blocks couldn't be found -> ergo, the card not be mounted.
The HTC stuff i always managed, but this one is a mistery to me. Also, i did format fat32, pushed the stuff and then straight on bootup trying to hit the update.zip, without success.
I've read about how other people solved that problem, none of those approaches helped me.
Any hint is more than welcome.
2 bugs i've discovered so far: Battery drain like almost to be declared useless, some market apps "vanish" after installing them. I suppose those fixes would have done the job. I might attempt to use root explorer and execute the scripts like that, still I'd like to know why I'm unable to get the update.zip, resp. the G.O.T or any other "intelligent" boot menu installed.
Edit2: Even when installing the vulnerable sbf, i still get the error: E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 ....

This could be for any reason try this
-Re download and re flash the files(do the whole thing again)
-there is an app i have called sd dual mount that makes my screen go crazy wen i connect the phone to an usb port, it was stable on 2.1 but now goes crazy on 2.2 check some of your apps to ensure they are not the ones responsible for this

have you tried re downloading the files and doing all over again?, it could be a broken file
thats why i tell devs and chefs they should add an MD5 sum to their files larger than 20MB some errors are caused by just having downloaded broken files
Root phone from the GOT OR menu doesn't seem to actually root my phone (2.2.1 UK version)
Superuser whitelist app FCs instead of prompting to allow access. Have tried using Better Terminal for root access & also Wireless Tether app.
Anyone else getting this? Any ideas? Do any of the 1-click root apps still work with this build of Froyo? Which can we use?

i can confirm this. Simply trying it a second time worked for me
I'd like to add something for Linux users:
Using a virtual machine (virtualizing WinXP) that has USB support (eg Oracle VM VirtuaBox, since VirtualBox OSE does not support USB forwarding) can do this pretty easy. So no worries when trying this via a VM.
i try to instal GOT and its succesfull.
but why i install the application not bring to SD card
but still bring to internal memory
many said 2.2 automatic have app2sd
can you help me?
