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.
Hello all,
I am trying to make an application that will detect what actual hardware a user is using and then go out to google and download the official update for the device extract the google apps and install on the device. Right now I was wondering if someone could point me to an ota link for the MT3G and G1 for T-Mobile just for a starting purpose. I already found away to get hardware id and match so I am good there. Any help would be really appreciated.
I don't have them handy but I recommend you contact @wesgarner on here or Twitter and if I recall @Haykuro has them too. If @wesgarner doesn't hook you up right away let me know and I will look them up.

Hi TheArtiszan,
I can tell you that the "OTA" update links change and are (of course) specific to the carrier in question. So for G1 and MT3G, we're talking T-Mobile, in which case I can inform you that the links and locations of the OTA updates rotate and change. By any specific pattern ? That eludes me completely and I would suggest it could/would be hard to track.
Also (and possibly even more challenging to what you are trying to accomplish), the OTA updates typically provide "patch sets" instead of the full blown system image you seek to extract "pure" files.
I'm sure not the answer you wanted, but I hope it helps.
~enom~
yeh I am starting with just T-Mobile ones first since they are my carrier and go from there. even a basic one would be good. I already have an app that will extract files from a file downloaded from my site (minus progress bar still working on that part lol) and extracts files so i have a good start I think. Just stinks that is not in C# would be done already.
Didnt get a response yet from them for thefiles. got app semi working from a rom on a private server any one know about google hosted packages

I think you are taking the hard way to accomplish your goal. Farmatito has already developed a backup script that backs up the necessary files from your phone <HERE>. And redmdc already has a script that will take a backup file and insert the files into an update.zip file <HERE>. There is no need to go out to the providers to get these files. We all already have them.
hey
I recently created an application called Android Recovery Manager
The version on the other thread is V1.0.
My sensation has been stolen, so for the moment I can't test future updates for the application, and I don't wanna give up on developing it...
I had plans for the next releases, and it really took me lots of efforts to finish it, so I'd like to know if anybody is interested in testing?
The update is ready for testing anyway
Tell me what you think
Thanks!
I am assuming from the name of the app you must be rooted and more than likely have Clockwork Mod Recovery on your device as well correct?

Not at all, you only need S-Off
The application manages your recoveries, it can flash any recovery you want.
You can either install a recovery image from your computer locally, or let the program download a recovery for you from the always up-to-date list of recoveries.
You can check the other post for screenshots and more info
Anybody?

I don't mind testing it out for you.

Thank You
So here is the download link.
Please extract the "RecoveryManager.exe" before using it as there will be files generated next to it.
So, I'll need you to install any recovery (Stock or Custom) and send me the log file when it has finished (You'll find an XML file in the Log folder in the same place as the application)
I hope I'm not asking a lot
Thanks
The application has been downloaded 2 times, can anybody tell me the results please?
test version
Downloaded two recovery files for the XE and flashed the CWM 5020 again on my device.
Rebooted into OS, no problems sofar.
The programm is selfexplaining and you can stop before flashing and think things over.
When I restart the programm and want to search for an recovery file on my HDD its going to the last folder I was using before,
thats OK

I just bought a Samsung tab 3v then I successfully rooted it using this: ( www 4shared com/get/4sFqkNODba/ ) but after I did that I could no longer use the camera (error then force close) so I'm asking if anyone could help me with that please? I did few research they said it's something about the kernel so anyone could provide me with one for my phone?
Someone please help me with this? At least provide me with an already rooted rom.

have a look through these and see if you can find a kernel :

i didnt see any promising leads on google for a rom, so your only alternative may be to return to stock. have a look through these for a possible way to do that :

one small tip for future reference.
you should figure out how to fix your phone and have the tools and files on hand before making any modifications.
personally, i never do anything to my phone before thoroughly learning how to fix it, and if i cant find a way, then i dont mod it.
i see all the time on here, people frantic because they broke their phone and dont have a clue how to fix it.
in some cases there is no way to fix it because the files are not available, its really important to know that before you break it.

Didn't you actually 'think' that I already searched for that on Google? Please try to 'think' that if you don't do mistakes you will never learn so yeah not breaking your phone doesn't mean you're smart OR intelligent.

i never implied that you or anyone else wasnt "smart or intelligent"
i have broken my phones many times. the difference between me and a lot of users i see posting here is, i think about what would happen if i do something and it breaks the phone, before i actually do it. then i go and find out how to restore stock, and gather the files and tools first. then i actually restore stock, just so im sure i know how to do it first.
i see and help countless users here on xda, and frequently see people run to flash things they think they have to have right away. frequently that is followed by post pleading for help, because they failed to understand the journey, and chose to jump right to the finish line.
so yes, i agree, not breaking your phone doesnt make you smart or intelligent. knowing how to fix it, and helping others to fix theirs for many years, at minimum should gain those of us who help others a little respect, because we dont get paid to, nor have any obligation to, help anyone.

How come? Posting a Google link is actually helping? Then next time someone asks who's that guy, you tell him Google it. I did come here for a reason, which is finding a developer who can make a prerooted rom for me since it doesn't exist anywhere in the Web.
Anyway I found a solution I will post it here in case someone needed it:
1- Flash the tablet with stock rom (the one of your SM-T116bu) skip to 2 if you already have the stock rom and you only want to root the tablet.
2- Get a file explorer (ES explorer or root explorer).
3- Browse to system/lib and copy the whole lib folder and put it somewhere you can access it later.
4- Flash your tablet using the prerooted SM-T116nu rom (link is above).
5- Using the root explorer replace all files in the system/lib which has a 'camera' word in their name with the same files name from the lib folder of the stock rom, do the same with the files in system/lib/hw6- Reboot your device and the camera should work again.

I did come here for a reason, which is finding a developer who can make a prerooted rom for me i can tell you right away, thats not going to happen. this site isnt a place where devs sit waiting for people to make request, so they can make stuff for them. xda is a place where you come to learn how to make it yourself, if you dont already know how, and support the community with it. since it doesn't exist anywhere in the Web.

Thanks, but your method soft bricks (black screen, can't operate the phone at all after booting) the phone until I flash the rooted or the official ROM again. There's no hw6 folder either, just hw and even changing only the lib files with camera in their names will also soft brick the phone.
I found a solution!!!
Restored my phone to the latest official ROM, then flashed the tiny file from the topic below using ODIN.

Worked like a charm!

The solution was so nice that I even made a short video explaining what I did with my Samsung Galaxy Tab E SM-T116BU from Brazil!!
[INFO] [QMV7B] [ELLIPSIS 7]
1. My apologies if this thread is in the wrong forum.
2.Not sure if my thread title is OK.
3. Am I allowed to post my link?
4.This site looks different and I can not seem find my answer.
Hi everyone, long time viewer first time poster in need of help. I recently deleted my system apk due to bad judgment,please don't judge. I can no longer access my system settings and with that the package installer no longer works. My tablet has been rooted, for a bit. I used the (kingo root) successfully.I do not have back up, I did find and download the apk sys files from a upper mod and now I need to enable via command to change the setting to allow installation of unknown sources .I do not know how to do that,. I am guessing that maybe that will FIX IT (crossing fingers). Any of the more experienced users know how to assist? I would love to have the stock rom, can't find it. Maybe there is a different method to do a complete restore that has all the files. My apologies if this is redundant request.
oh, I have already tried the hard factory reset and the system setting is still missing. I can't return, No warranty
Thanks in advance, and I can now stop the ugly crying.
I have the QMV7B ELLIPSIS7 4..2.2 rooted via KingoRoot.
thanks to (?) can't find your name.f for the link for system files I have.
I have a qr code on my photo albuma and my profile pic for the qmv7b system APK.
