When I try to upgrade my i-mate JAM to a new special ROM from Kichen after a step this masage apears "Cannot execute the remote comunication program. Plese make sure that the USB/Serial cable is properly connected.
so guys plz help me urgent
Does the same error come up when you flash with a shipped-rom which hasn't been changed?
Does your device respond to any commands from the update program? If so, what happens on your device?
And what did you change in the rom?
As you probably guessed: I don't know an answer to this & i'm trying to figure out what is different in your setup compared to a regular update.

Thanx 2 reply
No dear every thing is OK When I try to update with shiped ROM it works 100% no problem. When I click in my computer the device is located and opens software installs nothing abnormal every thing is as usual, But when I try to update it with special ROM (got from Kichen that I like very much) the folowing masage appears
I guess that romkitchen isn't compatible with magician :-(. You can try to put in the GetDeviceDara.exe from a shipped-rom in the appropriate romkitchen folder, maybe it helps. Cause I love to see this working.
Good luck, M
Let me do it
The rom I got is for windows 2003 SE so I think it should work, now let me act your advise then i'll inform you.
regards
The same problem i have
I try to update one of my friends i-mate JAM in a dfrent PC but the same problem I got. I think the rom is not compatible with JAM. Do you know another ROM to work on my JAM like available in Kitchen???
Well I haven't experimented with RomKitchen & don't know what you want to achieve with it. Ext-roms can be edited with bal666's tool too & there are loads of different (not edited) ext-roms @ the ftp.
& of course there's the BIG Storage hack, with which you trade in the ext-rom for an enlarged internal Storage folder.
Haven't seen anyone yet who really edited the CE image :-(
M
Yes I tried but...
I tried big ROM but in 3rd stage the folowing masage appears "card incilize error" When it tries to back up ROM on SD card. I have MMC not SD Now may be this is cause or somthing other. Have you updated your device with big storage rom & is it OK???
If so I'll try again
I downloaded the ROM form this site http://www.romkitchen.de I updated one of my friends PPC from this site's Rom its performance is 50% increased. but mine (JAM) is not going to update
I did it with a patched shipped-rom :!: Follow this link & I think you should be able to manage http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade
RomKitchen is also on this forum, but I think it's for other devices. You can find it in the wiki.
Cheers, M
Ok let me do it
Thanks dear let me download and check it. One thing that my JAM is from i-mate & there is T-mobie ROM, but its for Magician so should I do it no problem? Will I be able to reload its shiped ROM that I have already. sorry for my broken english
Yes it's no problem to use another magician rom, use maupgradeut_noid.exe to bypass country id error. To flash your current shipped-rom back just follow the same procedure.
Be carefull to backup your current ext-rom cabs though, they do contain some operator specific settings for eg gprs, voicemail etc. You need to install some of them instead of the TMO ones present in the TMO 1.13WWE rom. You can use WinCE cabmanager (available on trial) to have a look inside the cabs & decide wich ones to use.
This is my list of the Dutch TMO 1.13WWE ext-rom cabs anyway:
BlueTooth patch:
BTHUSB_PATCH_AKU26.CAB
MMS:
CAB-Acrosoft-MMS-2.5.0.28-ENU-MagicianAKU2.6-13May06.CAB
Needed in combi with MMS (does contain Dutch T-Mobile specific settings though)
CAB-Customization-Magician-TMONL-03Jun05.CAB
Certificates:
CAB-Certificate-TMO-16Sep05.CAB
Email wizard:
CAB-EmailWiz-2.0.0.6-PPC-TMNL-ENU-09Aug05.CAB
Java support (midlet manager):
CAB-TaoJava-10.1.2.76-PPC-ENU-17Aug05.CAB
Caller ID:
Caller_ID_Magician_T-Mobile_WWE_RC22.CAB
Camera & album:
Camera_Wizard_Magician_T-Mobile_WWE_RC28_Customize.CAB
To hide the ext-rom:
Delete_vdisk_shortcut_WWE.sa.CAB
IntelliDialer (with T-Mobile colors, other skins avalaible on the forum):
IntelliDialer_Magician_T-Mobile_WWE_RC20.CAB
IntelliPad (T9 for Slovak, Polish, Hungarian, German, English, Dutch, Czech):

Ok thanks a lot

I have searched read and looked all over the board.
The problem very specific.
I have a stock MDA Compact with the T-Mobile Software installed.
I want to convert the phone to its O2 equivalent with all the bells and whistles.
Whats the best way to go about this?
Is there a UK O2 rom i can simply upgrade the unit with?
What extended Rom software do i install?
Thanks.
Backup your important data, hard reset your phone, and let the phone have its OS reinstalled. As you just finished the security (pin) setup page, soft reset your device (e.g. when it pop up a window saying that it will install etc etc software).
Get the O2 ROM from the xda-dev ftp, and install everything in the Exetended ROM, and you should have your O2 eqv.

I got the files from the ftp yes. Unfortunately the Extended rom is read only, how do i edit the attributes?
i can also install from an SD card, but i want to have these files permanently in the ext rom.
thanks again Hanmin
You should execute the O2 cabs from your sd-card. Or permanently flash you rom with the O2 rom to get them in your ext-rom. The ext-rom is read only & can only be written by flashing your rom or turning it into BIG Storage. To flash your rom to O2 you need MAUgradeUT_noid & the description from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade
Regards, M
Doh, of course how could i forget, the very definition of ROM, read only.
Well i executed the Autorun from the SD Card, but its installed all the T-Mobile stuff again, (which still resides on the ROM).
I would execute the cabs individually from the sd but im not sure which are meant to be installed for my network.
After a few errors running the upgrade previously your instructions have now worked.
albeit i had to put the phone in bootloader mode after step 5 and before step 6

I want to replace the tmobile rom with an O2 set of files (an O2 ROM?).
How do i go about this? ( ie Keep the ext_rom )
I gather its the same as flashing a big storage ROM to the phone excepts the nbf will have the O2 files i want instead?
Thank you all for your time

It's only possible if you find a dumped rom or a shipped-rom which is the version as the one you had before. Maybe your provider has a shipped-rom on its web-site? Or take a look at the ftp and maybe you're lucky to find one. If you find a shipped-rom it's easy, connect via usb & start the exe file. If you've got a dumped rom you need to change the header of the downloaded with your own device's header, write everything to sd & have the bootloader update the rom.

The have the autorun starting files on sd, you need to edit it a little. It got hard-coded path & filenames and some instructions to prevent userinput (thus locking the keys & keyboard).

Now you got me puzzled. Do you want the O2 CE-rom or just the ext-rom & keep the TMO network settings? Cause the CE-rom isn't much different for all providers, it's the ext-rom that does the customizing & changes the network settings.
So if you want an O2 ext-rom with TMO network settings I suggest you first write down your TMO settings for gprs, voicemail, mms & sms & then flash it to O2. You might even try to update the ext-rom only. It's possible to update to radio by supplying the radio.nbf only to the romupdateso I think it's possible to update the ext-rom by itself too. Can't remember the nbf name, but nk.nbf is your CE-rom & that makes only one left, isn't it.
You can use WinCECabmanager (10 trial executions) to see what's in all those cab-files.
Good luck to all of you, M
I think frantyk meant that he wants to keep the original t-mobile (mda compact) ROM while installing the customization (ext rom), such that the 'OS' is relatively the same while having O2 stuff in it.
Anyway, I think if you downloaded the correct O2 ext rom, you can install everything one-by-one manually, it shouldn't give any conflict. I'm not sure why, when you run Autorun, it install t-mobile stuff, probably the autorun is pointing to the ext rom.
You can unlock the the wizard ext rom unlocking cab, delete everything in your ext rom (MAKE A BACKUP FIRST), and copy the O2 stuff in. You should able to 'lock' the ext rom back in place. Then hard reset your device, you should have everything, including O2 stuff installed. I unlocked my ext rom before, but I can't remember if this is the one I used. --- IMPORTANT --- I've unlocked my ext rom with this cab before, but my device is a HTC Charmer, which is very compatible with Wizard. I'm NOT SURE IF IT WORKS ON MAGICIAN. You may want to look around the forum to find a ext unlocker for Magician, just to be safe.
The Magician ext-rom can't be unlocked, only flashed or turned into BIG Storage. Though I think you can flash the ext-rom only, the safest way it to flash the whole rom with an O2 shipped-rom. This will be the only way to get the correct ext-rom being executed after a hard-reset. Indeed the autorun contains a path & is unusable from sd without changes.
BTW not many people want the O2 stuff, I guess it's about network settings only. Which are on the web too, can't remember where :-(

What i want is the Standard CE software (ie no branding what so ever) which i think i have achieved with in flashing the phone with Shipped ROM WWE_11300_550_11200 - although it has the Qtek boot logo.
Im also using some of the Cabs from Extended Rom O2Mini_WWE_1.11.922
Why does this Ext_Rom not have and network auto config for O2 UK? Where can i get and Auto config cab for UK O2?
I want to use the phone mainly with an O2 Sim card, so i need al the O2 settings for GPRS and that, 2nd priority is having the T-Mobile GPRS settings cab for when i occasionally change chips but this is less essential that the O2 settings.
What does WWE stand for? My guess was XXEuropean?
Thanks
OK, unbranded CE is either the mentioned QTEK or any BIG Storage rom. Don't worry about the splash that can changed very easily.
WWE means World Wide English.
The network settings can be found here http://www.cctvsafe.com/support/phone_settings.htm

hey.. what ports do you use for proxy, if you do use one..
I don't like to install Cestar, so is there anyother way?
There is no default Chinese support in WM6 ROM built here. CE-Star is good choice to add Chinese support to WM6. Working good with SimOne and WM6 Brushed. Not working with S.V.I. and WizFlo. Hope this help.

I don't think its problem of CE-Star. If you are using a custom built ROM, the problem might be the ROM. The SimOne & M2D Brushed are working fine with CE-Star.
If you install CESTAR, it will cost u 10M more, that's why I don't like installing it. Still looking for the other ways.
First,install a software called "FotgottenNationsNo5",about 2.32MB;
Then reastart,and select "Start Menu--Setting--System--Regional Settings" as "Chinese(People's Republic of China)";
Now,U can install the Chinese font as U like,From"3.39MB to 14.6MB",I prefer to install the one which is 3.39MB called"Chinese_WM5.cab"

So can the chinese fold name and file name display correctly?
I found the easiest way, downloaded one file call Ricky MSYH 6M ChineseSupport v1.1
but if u can read chinese, go to Ricky's website, u will have more choice for u. Try MSYH first, I installed the SIMSUN one, that didn't work.
I have the same problem as you. This is what I figure it out after trying several things.
You need to install a chinese font (*.ttf), so your device can read Chinese characters. This can be sunglobe, yahei or any other you can find here. If you just copy to your "windows" directory in the device and do a soft reset you will be able to read most of the files in Chinese. If you need suppport in all programs, you may need a real tweak also. This means changing some of the reg (HKLM with regedit or similar). Also there are some cab files that do it for you (install the font and do the register changes).
If you also want to write in chinese, you have to install a chinese input program this will allow you to write te character or use pinyin (like A4, PlumSIP or other).
At the end this is what CE Star and other programs do, install fonts and the input program, but also install many other thing you may not need.
Maybe you can look here:

Have you tried this ROM that includes Chinese support?

You may install "O2 Chinese Plus Fixed" into your device.Then your ppc can display simplified Chinese. It takes about 3M space.
i will try your method when i reach home, every time i install the chinese display software on my wm6.1 (atom exec),will make all the hard buttom lost their function!
why don't you try O2 Chinese Plus Fixed for your WM system
I think that this forum is a total mess with different recoveryfiles and troubles. We need someone with the knowledge to create a guide/wiki/information page which covers the different recovery files, what's needed for what etc.
Myself I am on a Vodafone with the latest updated original software. Can I backup EVERYTHING (including my recovery) before I start playing with the phone? A lot of ppl seems to be having troubles and I don't want to move into something potentially non working without being able to revert back to original. Or perhaps the recovery image that I have already is available? And then I can just flash with X (what recovery is recommended now) and install for example ION.
I'm not without computer knowledge but this forum is in such a mess that I'm not even sure what's happening
after flashing almost all ROMs from this forum i decided to stick with smartphone france firmware (http://wiki.smartphonefrance.info/firmware-htcmagic.ashx, recovery included). it loads fast, include all recent ota updates, and maintained. You can back up your current phone firmware + data by booting custom recovery image and using nandroid backup and later go back to that backed up state if you wish.

I don't include UK APN because i don't know them.
And the Wiki is only available in french ... the only one langage i can read and write easyly
come on. use translate.google.com
In that case, in a nutshell, how does it differ from the standard Google/Vodafone ROM? App variations/addions etc?
Is it possible to restore my texts/mms?
Cheers for any info!
As far as i can see, PDF Viewer, ANetShare is included.
I'm using MyBackup for backup and restore all my links Sms, MMS ... quit good.
I like it a lot and it seems to me that is running smooth and fast enought, just give it a try.
Cheers,
Dirk
May do just that, cheers for the info, diRm!
Web page in french : http://wiki.smartphonefrance.info/firmware-htcmagic.ashx
Ameliorations :
- Use JF Kernel for network functionalities
- Add Bluetooth PAN for use as Bluetooth MODEM
- Based on CRB43 Firmware
- Add somes utilities (aNetShare, PDFView, SuperUser Permission, ...)
- Rooted Boot
- Increase Volume
- MultiTouch Browser
- ...
Isn't it better to base the software on I.O.N instead? Since it obviously is faster than CRB43.
@spfrance,
which locale has your ROM integrated? I need german

yes same question?????
So far my phone only likes the default Vodafone ROM and the Ion ROM.
Tried Haykuro's 6.0 and no this Smartphone France firmware, both leave my phone stuck at splash1 indefinately.
My magic is rooted and I can access the restore utility by holding home and power. Any idea why this could be?
Have you tried WIPE before update???
Yes, I wiped before updating. I have also tried wiping after updating..
I have now wiped again and restored to the Ion ROM, phone boots fine.
ION work good on mine to,just the in-call audio problem!!!
is this Magic_13 faster or slover then ION?can anyone say?
I did extract the PDF VIEWER apk from the app folder in the magic_13 zip file,installed to my running ION and the app dont work,damed
Hello,
I updated my HTC Trophy using Seven Eighter. While the update itself went fine, I've missed some language packs as my system menus won't open. The Office WP7 Updates thread is an excellent resource, but at this point I'm having trouble determining which language packs I actually need to push to the phone. I've seen Heathcliffs tool 'Version and Language by Heathcliff74.xap', but don't know how to get it to and run on my phone.
According to Zune (the only way I can seem to retrieve version info), my phone is at version 7.10 (8862).
I tried the Seven Eighter support tool, but it fails every time I attempt to send languages over. I tried just downloading and sending over every language cab update, but of course that failed as well.
Any tips/pointers/links someone can share to help me out?
Thanks,
Tim
What version was in your phone before you use Seven Eighter?
What is your current language?
many people reports problems after use seveneighter...
which ROM you have before use seveneighter?
dont have trophy but advice you to flash Dynamics v2.0 ROM for Trophy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523976
and use Zune to update from 8858 to 8862 (no need cabs files or others)...
with Dynamics ROM you have full unlocked phone and you can install XAP files
Thanks all. So I'm not sure what ROM I was on when I started Makes it much harder to troubleshoot.
Is it possible to download a full original ROM and flash that? The Dynamics ROM looks cool, but I would like to avoid going down the HSPL route (If possible).
Do I just need to get all English language packs up to my current ROM version to load for menu functionality, or do I need all languages loaded? I've had some luck getting a few English packs to load. Very tedious though.
Tim
why to avoid HSPL? you not loose anything (always you can go back to original SPL) and with HSPL and custom ROM you have unlimited possibilities and you can do almost anything...
with original ROM you can forget to add language or do any other things...
