Please please please help me upgrade my MDA...

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.

Swype for HD2

I installed 'Fixed-Swype-HTCBlackBird-3.9.10.10.5032.cab' on my HTC HD2 today and the phone then went straight to the main restart screen requesting me to enter the keyboard password to get access to the phone but I am now unable to.
I have tried 'Hard Resetting' the device as below but cannot get the message to display for the reset.
Can someone please advise if there is a new sequence of no's to enter onto the start up keypad or an altertive way to Hard Reset while the phone is powered off.
I believe that the Swype keyboard may have conflicted the orignal keyboard hence screwing up any entries.
Kindly awaiting responses.
Thanks
Tony

Hard Reset : steps tried :
With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then press the END/POWER button shortly and release it. You will then see this message on the screen.
2. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
3. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

HELP To Install Swype
Hey Guyz.. I'm sorry I'm a complete alien to this community. I wanted to install swype and i downloaded a cab posted on Xda Developers. Version 3.9 i guess. The downloaded file is a win rar file containing numerous files in the folder. I dont know now how to install it to my HTC HD2.. I copy pasted it to My SD card and then tried to hunt for a set up file that would install but no luck.. Please tell me how do i install. Sorry for my ignorance
Cheers

do not unrar the cab file. copy and paste in ur sd card folder and run it from there

This is a known problem and all the more reason it should not be distributed outside of the ROM's it was meant for. Installing the cab changes your device ID to TMOUS instead of LEO.

same problem
I have the same problem.
Is there any solution to the problem?
Would be really appreciated, thx!
Kind Regards
Scuzzor

yeah today i'm one of the victim also... does any1 have any solution for this...keep saying its the wrong password...now i cant enter my phone,huhu...plz help...thanks!
Problem fixed...hard reset the phone then everything is good,learn my lesson already,b4 trying any new apps backup your phone first !!!

Any guide to run Andriod in POLA100??

Android on HTC cruise How to?
Hi all,
I'm REALLY confused or misinfomed or whatever on how to run andoid from my sd card.
I tried some things from a website androidonhtc but only got up to a point.
Is there a simple how-to on how to run android on cruise and some links on where to donwload the appropriate files?
For example i have got the haret but i can't find anywhere to download androidinstaller.tar
Am I close or far from my goal?
I know i might ask a silly question but guys i'm really confused.
Thanks anyway in advance.

as for how-to in hxxp://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/androidhtc/wiki/HowToInstall
after getting haretinstall.zip, you need a current kernel (zImage) from
- dzo = hxxp://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D
or
- sourceforge = hxxp://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/
------------------------
as for androidinstall.tar / .tgz you can get from
- vogue forum = hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=588
- kaiser forum = hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=602
- sourceforge = hxxp://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/
PS: sorry for the hxxp link, I have no permission to post any link yet

Thank you very very very much for your help!

Congratulations mensa07. Although I already knew all this stuff from your link, it took me some time to figure them out because I did not know there was such a good guide for starters. Very usefull link. Thank you

well, it's no garbage, just required more explanation. let me try to make it simpler. this guide will use zImage-eclair and vaniljeclair, change it to suit your taste accordingly
- get haretinstall.zip from here
extract this file and get default-polaris.txt (rename as default.txt), zImage-eclair (rename as zImage), initrd.gz and haret.exe. put all these files into andboot folder in root of your sdcard. your sdcard will look like this:
/andboot/default.txt
/andboot/zImage
/andboot/initrd.gz
/andboot/haret.exe
- next you need to download vaniljeclair from here
extract the file and you will get androidinstall.tar, put this file along with those files on /andboot/
you should have those 5 files or you cannot boot android.
- select haret.exe to execute, press run, pay attention to the text rolling, when it asks you to hold button, hold volume button up, and you will be given installer menu. choose install and delete data. let the format and installer finish, then you will be given menu again. do not quit, just reset, and restart from haret (you will see that you have data.img, system.img and some other files). at this time let the installer do not interrupt, it took more than 5 minutes before android logo asks you to touch screen
- if there is problem during booting, post it here, let people here try to solve

no, if you start android from haret.exe, it will not erase anything.

it will not erase your sd card either, however you might want to backup your data first just in case something does not go well.

BT and WIFI should work, there is vaniljeclair thread on this problem if something is not working.
as for contact I think you need google account to sync.

Hi,
Thank you for the guide. I actually follow it and encountered an error. When it asked for volume up or d-pad center, I did, then it prompted that it was waiting for something several times. So I soft-reset the phone and launch it again.
Then, after haret.exe is booting linux, I have got a strange screen with scramble text.
How can I put everything back in the previous state to reinstall it propely?
Thank you

More info....
Did you get to the install screen after pressing centerdpad?
If yes, did it install?
What was it waiting for? The error message can give a clue what is wrong.

i manage to get to ask to hold up the center d-pad then get into a installer menu..
currently i just cant get my wifi and bt work..
haven get connection to sign in to google account..

I have all five file on my SD card but when I click on haret on my Sd and hit run where it say defaukt.txt..I get a error saying " cannot open script file \storage card\andboot\default.txt" is im doing something wrong..thx

u got change the polaris default-polaris to default??

[RECOVERY AND UPDATE] how to recover your SGS gt-i9000 Famous Black screen of death.

This is all thanks to the awesome threads on this website.. No credit of programming will be claimed by me.
*warning* this can be done only if you have a device that forces the samsung galaxy s g or gt i9000 to go in to download mode.
Ok so here is the story, when the samsung galaxy S froyo beta was out I kind of editted the regedit of samsung to be able to install it...
What I didn't know and wasn't noticed by anyone as I've surfed down google to the 200th pages... was that after the reg edit update the Volume down + home button + off switch combination falls of and will not work anymore.
So I waited untill it was out officially in the Netherlands (eindhoven)
What I did was the folowing:
I went to vodafone and they tried to update it. with the force device (big blue box with 12 buttons on it with the buttons 2 and 6 were clicked down).
When they tried to update the phone went off and it lost it's complete firmware. aka PHONE - ! - COMPUTER.. I went home and searched of the web and found here that there was a kind off update.zip. (when I find it I will edit this post and upload it) I downloaded the file and extracted the contents on a SD card. I went back to vodafone and let them force the phone in to download mode again. after that odin instantly recognized and updated the phone to Android 2.2 Froyo update for Galaxy S.
So here are the simple steps.
1. Don't panic.
2. Surf this forum for the update.zip if I still haven't uploaded it. and mainly search for the tag: black screen of death. or phone + ! + computer.
When you have the file. follow step 3.
3. Extract the contents of the update.zip file to the removable SD card of your phone with another device note like root:Sd/update/(files) but like root:sd/(files) the files must be directly available to the phone without having to be searching in to another folder. and plug the sd-card back in the phone.
4. If you have such blue device to force in to download mode then just use odin and update phone. if not, then go to the nearest and trustworthy phone store and make them force it into the download mode... and follow the rest of the steps.
5. step 5 is the most attention worthy part there is: Either bring your own laptop with the correct odin and the correct files and USB cable for when it's in download mode to update it. or either give it to the person behind the counter and let him update it.
6. When froyo is installed give it time to run and scan all it needs to do, otherwise it will lagg and only frustrate you.
7. after couple of minutes froyo is ready for use. after this.look for a reliable lagg fixer because froyo laggs the same way the mind of your mother-in-law does when you're trying to talk sense in to her mind...
If I'm correct after these steps you should be able to use your phone again and have froyo installed and working.
If this hasn't worked, then I advice to either repeat these steps (hence the bring your own laptop) or let the phone-store guy do his thing and force the install. REMEMBER these people usually give up after 1 or 2 try's but it's your phone and they don't care.. so just stand firm and say, I would like you to give it another try..and if he refuses. you can just tell him you won't leave untill he has done it over and over untill it's done or let you self try it and crawl behind the counter.
ALL CREDITS GO TO THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE WRITTEN THE PROGRAMS AND GIVEN ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMBINE THE STEPS AND FIX THIS.
But hey if you think the credits belong to me since I wrote this guide. then by all means

I can't access the recovery mode, but I can access the download mode. I also used the Kies registry hack to upgrade to 2.2.
Which update.zip file you are talking about? There are a million different ones!
I do not have an external SD card. Is it still possible to fix the phone? No offense but your solution doesn't really offer a solution at all. It only tells us to go somewhere else to get it fixed!
What is the correct Odin, what are the correct files? PIT, PDA, PHONE, CSC, update.zip? Links?
