How to do a ROM Upgrade via EXE-Method......but

I hope I have nothing wrong to put this on here, but I am finding a lot of the information on here about rom upgrading a bit baffling!
I found this guide on wiki.xda-developers, which seems quite easy/good to follow........
:arrow: In the first step, you should try if you can run the update process directly. So just runnung the exe file and do the complete update process. But there may occur an error: -> Country ID Error
If this happens, try this way:
1. Right click on the EXE-file and extract to a named folder (using Winzip or something similiar)
2. You should end up with about 6 - 8 individual files; ms.nb1, radio.nb1, nk.nb1 ruu.conf, ruu.dll, enterbl, getdevicedata and maupgradeut, the maupgradeut is the file that runs the upgrade
3. Download the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
4. Once you have this file you will need to add this to the folder created above as this is the file needed to initiate the upgrade.
5. In ActiveSync, click on file and connection settings and untick the USB connection.
6. Connect the phone to the USB, and run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
7. The upgrade wizard will start, go through a few checks then eventually come up with the country Id error.
8. Run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe file again and this time it should allow you to run the wizard.
9. The process should then go through 3 stages which should last about 10 - 15 minutes.
10. When finished you should get the upgrade successful notification and a prompt to reset the device
11. In ActiveSync, click on file and connection settings and tick the USB connection.
12. Enjoy your new ROM
:!:
BUT
Is there something missing?
How does it pick up or know where to get it from, if that is the right way to describe it, the new rom data?

I find it incredible, there have been over 170 views and not one reply or help of any kind!

maybe I don't understand the question, but here is my answer.
if you run the exe-upgrade it extracts 6-8 files in a temp directory.
You should copy these to a working directory together with MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
MAUpgradeUt_noID.exe or MAUpgrade.exe use the files which are in their directory.

Thanks, what I meant by missing, is does it need a cab file or something?

The files needed for the rom upgrade are present already once you have unzipped to a directory.

Do you mean these above or these below which I have unpacked from this file and put in a seperate folder?
MDACompact_WWE_1.12.152

well you schould get this when extracted :
(click on image for large version)
copy MaUpgradeUtnoID.exe into the same folder and run the upgrade with MaUpgradeUtnoID.exe
good luck

Yes. copy the MAupgrade_NoID file from the ftp area. Dont ask me where as the file structure has moved around since I last upgraded. This will ignore any country codes) and run the file, Whole process will take 20-30 mins and the MDA will have the new rom file

[GUIDE] JDK,SDK and ADB Installation

I originally did this for the Hero to help new users install ADB and the files required for Resigning and developing.Thought it would be handy here too!
If you have the Android drivers installed and just want ADB then download THIS FILE and extract the contents to /windows/system32 (32 bit windows) or /windows/sysWOW64 (64bit windows)
WINDOWS 7
Thought i would make a noob friendly guide on setting all these up..should make it easier foor noobs to have some fun
If you have user account control on you will need to run these as administrator! Or just turn off UAC
To make it more noob friendly i will include pictures
Download Java JDK HERE
Android SDK HERE
And Testsign.zip View attachment 330328
Install Java JDK by double clicking the JDK file you downloaded
Now goto My Computer > Local Disk (C:\) and create a folder called Android and open it.....Create another folder called androidSDK (NO SPACES!)
Extract the Android SDK you downloaded into the AndroidSDK folder there should now be 5 folders in there....)FIG(A)add-ons,docs,platform,usb_driver and tools...
Go into tools and keep it open...the top bar will say something like C:\Android\androidSDK click this top bar and copy it ALL!FIG(A)
Now you need to add the tools folder to your path....
Right click my computer > Properties > Advanced system settings > Enviroment variables
In the system variables box (the lower one) find the path it should be the 5th one down (under OS) highlight path and click edit....
Now go to the end of that line and put a ; there..Then paste the line you copied earlier..
Your path should now look like FIG(B)
now make a Tea/Coffee/Grab a beer or whatever
Back to your tools folder now...Remember that Testsign.zip? Well extract it into your tools folder please.
Next click start (win7 logo in your taskbar) and type CMD it should say command prompt.exe double click it!
Now is the test! Type autosign and hit enter (not hard obviously) If it says XDA in huge letters you are laughing! If not drag and drop Autosign.bat from your tools folder into the CMD window and press enter.
type 1 > enter > yes
2 > enter > yes
3 > enter > yes (enter means press enter not type it.just in case your such a noob you dont know your own keyboard)
You should now be able to resign .apk files by right clicking, if that doesnt work you can type autosign in a cmd window and do option (4) to manually sign.
To install drivers for your android device.......
Option a) Install HTC Sync
Option b) Use the files from the Android SDK
Check adb debugging is enabled on your phone and plug the bad boy in,go to device manager (right click my computer) find ADB (it will probably have a warning sign) right click that and direct the install to your USB_DRIVER (or Program Files\HTC\HTC Driver) folder
Open up Command prompt (CMD.EXE) type adb devices should say something like HT01GL902119 device
I will be installing linux this weekend so will do a tut for linux next week

Thnxx man very helpful

As wanted to point out that there's no fastboot option in sdk now. So might want to include the link for the file. I believe its from goo-inside.me
Great guide btw
Sent from my HTC Pyramid using Tapatalk

Any guide for ADB over wifi.
That will be nice.
Great job.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e

I'll add adb WiFi in the morning when I'm sober also will add fastboot file! Thanks guys!

When picking option 2 in the Command prompt I get an error that the testsign is cannot be found. I've followed the instructions and pictures. When I look in the tools folder in the AndroidSdk folder I don't see all of the testsign zip in the folder.

Thanks Mate... I was looking for such a guide for Long... Will subscribe to the Thread so that I dont loose it...

[Guide] Enable mobile data\WiFi to login to gmail account after getting locked out

Okay, So just today my girlfriends room mate at uni decided it would be funny to lock her out of her Galaxy S II
I Tried every available method to me to try and get it unlocked but it wouldn't work.
After some time of scratching my head at this, I found the answer
These are the steps you have to follow in order to make this work
1.Make sure USB Debugging is on [Sorry to those of you who haven't got it turned on :\]
2. Make a folder called adb anywhere you like and place the files in the zip called adb (needs to be extracted) you can use WinRAR, 7zip
etc) attached to the bottom of this post.
3. Attach your phone to your PC and make sure all drivers are installed
4. Open up a command window (this can be done by pressing the start button on your keyboard and r together, then typing cmd) and navigate to the adb folder you created. The command : cd C;\Users\%userprofile%\%yourdirectory%\adb (replace userprofile with your username and yourdirectory with the directory you chose to place adb, don't forget to remove %!!)
5.Now type this command exactly and when done hit enter: adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
6.Don't close Command, but go to the folder where you extracted adb, there should be a new file there called settings.db
7. What I did was transferred the file to my Galaxy S3, and I used an SQlite editor
8.Using an SQlite Editior, go to the tab that says files and scroll down to your sdcard or external sdcard wherever you put it, open the settings.db.
9. There are 6 Options; android_metadata, bluetooth_devices, bookmarks, secure, sqlite_sequence, system. Go to the option that says secure and navigate down to mobile_data or wifi_on.
10. These options either have a 1 or a 0 under the value column, 0 for being off, 1 for being on. Let's assume both are 0. Now if you don't have mobile data, leave this at 0, if you do have it change it to 1, the same with wifi change it to one and you should save the changes you make when you exit.
11. Plug the device back to your computer and copy the new settings.db to the adb folder and overwrite any existing files.
12. Use the command and once done hit enter: adb push ./"settings.db" /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
You should get an immediate response if not just reboot and then your data or wifi should be on and you are able to login to your gmail without a problem
Hope this helps anyone who gets stuck like this

Android(iDroid) On iphone 2g & 3g & ipod 1g

im added iphone 2g & 3g multitouch and wifi drivers & OpeniBoot(new version)
Purpose
This guide is intended for Windows users who want to install iDroid manually. For an automated installation, use Bootlace(Which is not working now).
This guide is aimed to help you get iDroid running on your iPhone 2G, 3G or iPod Touch 1G.
Disclaimer
PLEASE READ EVERYTHING FIRST BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO DO ANYTHING.
This is also an alpha release, there is no guarantee that the OS is 100% stable, if you are not familiar with messing with the iPhone and at least a basic understanding of Linux, it is not recommended that you install iDroid on your device for the time being.
Requirements
Device and iOS Software
Currently OpeniBoot are compatible with the following devices:
iPhone 2G
iPhone 3G
iPod Touch 1G (1st Generation)
OpeniBoot is compatible with iOS (also known as iPhone OS) up to to 4.1. iOS 4.2.1 is not yet compatible.
Jailbreak
iDroid is NOT compatible with the Spirit Jailbreak (www.spiritjb.com) nor is it compatible with the jailbreakme.com Jailbreak.
Recommended jailbreaks are redsn0w or any of the pwn varieties (QuickPWN, PwnageTool, sn0wbreeze) - these are known to work well.
Windows Preparation
You need to have the Microsoft .NET Framework installed. Download it via Windows Update or from Microsoft
Download the Files
Navigate to Download with your browser.
Choose the folder that relates to your preferred release version.
Download the file related to your device and gunzip it.
Navigate to the idroid folder and check if you have the following files:
android.img.gz
cache.img
system.img
userdata.img
zImage
Navigate to Download and choose the folder that corresponds to your device:
iPhone1,1 corresponds to iPhone 2G.
iPhone1,2 corresponds to iPhone 3G
iPod1,1 corresponds to iPod Touch 1G.
Download the file (openiboot.img3) to a convenient location such as your Desktop
Depending on your Operating System, download the tools to install OpeniBoot from here:
These tools have been improved and updated from the original ones created by planetbeing. For best results and optimum installation, it is advised to use the tools from the download link.
Extract/unzip the archive. Run the executable installer.
Run the Add Hardware Wizard (Start -> Run -> "hdwwiz")
Add Hardware Wizard
Read the warnings, then click "Next"
Choose "Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced)" this is the 2nd option, then click "Next"
Select "Show All Devices", then click "Next"
You are going to see a grayed-out text box with "(Retrieving a list of all devices)", click the "Have Disk..." button
"Browse" to the where you installed OpeniBoot Tools (default is C:/Program Files/OpeniBoot Tools/) and then to your OS version. It will be looking of a .inf file so select "oibdev.inf" and click "Open" then "OK". It's the only file there so you shouldn't go wrong.
Select "Apple Mobile Device (OpeniBoot Mode)" then click the "Next" button
Install the driver. When a warning comes up about trusting Richard Ian Taylor (ricky26) click "Install" and "Always trust software from "Richard Ian Taylor""
Wait for the confirmation. It should warn about "Device cannot start", click the "Finish" button.
Now open Device Manager (Start -> Run -> "devmgmt.msc").
Expand the Portable Devices tab to see that "Apple Mobile Device (OpeniBoot Mode)" is listed but has a yellow exclamation mark.
Uninstall the driver with the yellow exclamation mark but do not delete the software for the driver. This is too stop Windows from popping up with new Hardware found on every start-up.
Preparing the device
Beginning with openiBoot 0.1.2, the idroid files (from idroid folder) must be placed on the iDevice in the directory /private/var/idroid.
There are many ways in which this can be achieved. The best and most recommended way for Windows is to transfer files via USB cable. DiskAid, iPhone Folders, iPhone Explorer, Phone Disk or i-FunBox can be used on Windows (although afc2add must be installed with Cydia in order for it to connect to the device).
SSH into the device (this should be fairly clear to any beginner iPhone user by now) and navigate to /private/var/.
Make 3 new directories named idroid (/private/var/idroid/), sdcard (/private/var/sdcard/) and firmware (/private/var/firmware). These directories are case-sensitive and are all in lowercase/small letters; firmware is not the same as Firmware or FIRMWARE. The firmware folder will be required in the next section.
Copy the 5 android related files into the /private/var/idroid directory. The 5 android files are android.img.gz, cache.img, system.img, userdata.img and zImage. If you are using OpeniBoot version 0.1.1 and below, the directory is /private/var instead of /private/var/idroid.
Make sure that the filesizes of the 5 android files from your computer match or are equal to the filesizes of the 5 android files in /private/var/idroid.
Extraction of firmware
For legal reasons, the iDroid Project cannot distribute these copyrighted binaries, so you will need to extract them from the device itself.
Auto-extractors are recommended as these are supported by the main devs but there are also manual extraction methods. The preferred method is to use Neonkoala's Bootlace app from Cydia (but if you use that, you might as well install iDroid using Bootlace). Windows users do not have software to extract the zephyr firmware.
Automated Extraction
Bootlace extracts the files and installs OpeniBoot and iDroid for you.
Manual Zephyr Extraction
Install iokittools from Cydia
For iPhone 2G Multitouch:
Run the following commands over ssh:
ioreg -l -w 0 | grep '"Firmware" =' | cut -d '<' -f2 | cut -d '>' -f1 | xxd -r -ps - zephyr_main.bin
And
ioreg -l -w 0 | grep '"A-Speed Firmware" =' | cut -d '<' -f2 | cut -d '>' -f1 | xxd -r -ps - zephyr_aspeed.bin
Transfer them (zephyr_main.bin and zephyr_aspeed.bin) to your PC
For iPhone 3G:
cat /usr/share/firmware/multitouch/iPhone.mtprops | grep -B2 0x0049 | grep data | sed 's/^\t\t<data>//' | sed 's/<\/data>$//' | base64 -d > zephyr2.bin
This command will automatically extract the zephyr2.bin for iPhone 3G and put it in the right folder.
For iPod Touch 1G (1st Generation):
cat /private/var/stash/share*/firmware/multitouch/iPod.mtprops | grep -B2 0x0033 | grep data | sed 's/^\t\t<data>//' | sed 's/<\/data>$//' | base64 -d > /var/firmware/zephyr2.bin
This command will automatically extract the zephyr2.bin for iPod Touch 1G and put it in the right folder.
Getting sd8686 and sd8686_helper
The Wi-Fi firmware files are already included in the latest release. They are in the firmware folder from the extracted archive. Don't forget to read the included LICENSE.txt.
They can be also found on Marvell's site, if you want to try different firmware.
Go to here
Under "Choose a platform", select "Linux 2.6 - Fedora".
Click the Search button under the drop down box.
Download and extract the SD-8686-* zip archive.
Rename helper_sd.bin to sd8686_helper.bin
Keep sd8686.bin and sd8686_helper.bin in a safe place for later.
Transferring the firmware files
Once all extraction has finished, you should end up with the following files:
zephyr_aspeed.bin and zephyr_main.bin (iPhone 2G)
zephyr2.bin (iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 1G)
sd8686.bin and sd8686_helper.bin (All Platforms)
All these files must be placed in the firmware folder created earlier (/private/var/firmware). Make sure that the filesizes match again. Wrong filesizes can mean an error or problem in transferring so please try transferring the files again until the filesizes match.
Loading and Installing OpeniBoot
Now to install the bootloader, OpeniBoot.
Open up a command prompt and navigate to the convenient location containing loadibec, oibc, and openiboot.img3. The following is only an example command: cd Desktop
Turn off your device and place it in Recovery mode:
When the device is turned off, hold down the Home button, then connect the USB cable (make sure that is connected to the PC), keep holding the Home button until a screen with the iTunes logo and and a cable pointing towards it. Don't forget to kill iTunesHelper or else iTunes will automatically open upon detecting an iDevice in Recovery Mode.
Go back to the command promptl window and type the following command:
loadibec openiboot.img3
The device's screen should flash for a brief second and the OpeniBoot menu will load.
If you would like to test Android before installing OpeniBoot, simply navigate with the volume buttons (or Power button if you are on iPod Touch 1G) to the Android logo and press the Home button. You will have to repeat the loading OpeniBoot process in order to install it later.
Using the volume buttons (or Power button if you are on iPod Touch 1G), navigate to the console selection (the cog icon) but don't press the Home button yet.
In the command prompt type the following command:
oibc
Do not press enter yet - this is where your quick reflexes will pay off.
Press the Home button on the device, wait 1 or 2 seconds and then press enter on your PC to send the command, this is necessary as there is a current problem with OpeniBoot where the computer often does not connect to the device if the console screen has been on for a long time. You will know if the computer has failed to connect to the device if you receive only this output:
!<filename>[@<address>] to send a file, ~<filename>[@<address>]:<len> to receive a file
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The command will succeed if you see the OpeniBoot ASCII art on the command prompt on your PC. Windows users may have to try entering oibc multiple times before the drivers are loaded and ready to go (depending on your USB port speed and PC processing power).
In the command prompy type this command:
install
Note: If you get a error like this:
**ABORTED** Writing total image size: 0xeb240, new ibot size: 0x3b180 at 0x20000 would overflow NOR!
Try to remove any custom bootlogo/recovery images by jailbreaking the device again without this option.
The install process should take around 30 seconds to 1 minute to complete. When completed, it will display this message on the iDevice: Openiboot installation complete. It may also display the message on the command prompt screen on your PC.
This command will have also copied a file to your PC: norbackup.dump (usually a 1MB file). Keep this file in a safe location as it is the backup of the original bootloader, if the bootloader corrupts and you do not have this dump file, your device may become a very expensive paperweight.
Type this command in the command prompt:
reboot
Your device should reboot and you shall be presented with the OpeniBoot menu again. Select the iOS option (press Power/volume buttons to select) and boot iOS by pressing the Home button.
