I did a cooked rom in one of the kitchens using a T-mobile ROM. I don't like the look or feel, don't have a linux machine so cannot use the special edition ROM.
My problem is my backup is corrupt and now I have created a new ROM in the yorch.net kitchen and downloaded Siemens ROM from their site and when I go to install it it says my SX 56 is not connected even though I look at active sync and everything works fine.
What can I do? :?:
You need to slow down and be more descriptive. Yorch does not have ATT's ROM on his site. How did you upgrade? Did you use an .exe or the OSToolset or the SD Card method? Take it one step at a time. How did your backup get corrupted?
I used the T-mobile or yorch's site to cook a new rom, I have been trying to unlock the phone and thought maybe that would give me something that the unlocker would work with.
I upgraded with an .exe
I backed up to an SD Card and when I shutdown my laptop while on the road some security program andjusted the file son the card so now I cannot restore.
I have tried using another ROM from the kitchen and the one from Siemens website upgrade and both times when I try to install I'm told there is no connection to my laptop. But I can see active sync working and saying it's connected.
Just get the 3.02 ROM from the kitchen, use the OSToolset to put it on an SD Card, and install it using the SD Card method. You won't need to have an active connection to your computer then.
Where do I find a kitchen with that rom for the ATT SX56?
I cannot access Jeff's & Yorch's site only has the newer T-Mobile and the PPC2003.
You will not find the Original SX56 ROM by itself. If you want to go back, download the old O2 3.02 ROM, install it, and then run the newest ROM upgrade from ATT.
I can use the O2 rom on a 900/1900 system? excuse me for my ignorance, but I don't want to fry my machine as this is my third one and I really want this one to work, long story.
As long as you don't update the radio stack of your device you are pretty much free to try any ROM you want. However, the intention is NOT to use the O2 ROM for anything other than having an old ROM on your device that the SX56 ROM you download from ATT will recognize as updatable. Hence, you will be able to put back the SX56 2002 ROM. As always, anything you do is at your own risk.
Thanks, I got it working and sombody gave me an image of the XDA developer rom for my unit and now it is unlocked and works great.
I've seen a bit on this site about converting a UK T-Mobile MDA Compact to newer english versions but not for the German T-Mobile MDA Compact. As a novice to this stuff I have three questions:
1) Is it the same procedure for my German T-Mobile MDA Compact as it is for the UK version?
2) Can anyone please give me the link to the newest download for the files I need? (not sure I have it)
3) this is what I plan to do (see instructions below) - got it from JFRAN at www.modaco.com's website. It seems that I need both the rom and this maupgradeut_noid file... I'm not sure I've found the most recent rom file and I havent seen the file maupgrade file with the exact same name on the ftp site here... I've already asked for a link to the most update file, but can someone confirm these directions look ok?
Thanks.

Any of the experts willing to put a step by step guide to installing the 1.11 . i have a T mobile MDA , and it all seems so complicated . I am bricking it that I will end up with a dead device .
Tricky stuff, but can be done.
If you are able to get hold of the imate rom, you will need to extract its files and install the upgrade executable file.... esay isnt it
Ok here it goes
1. Download the Rom file
2. Right click and extract to a named folder
3. You should end up with about 6 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 if you were an imate user, however as a MDA user you need to get hold of the maupgradeut_noid file which could be obtained over the net or from the xda developers site.
4. Once you have this maup....noid 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 maupdateut_noid,
7. The upgrade wizard wil start, go through a few checks then eventually come up with the coutry Id error.
8. Run the maupgradeut_noid 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 promt to reset the device
11. Hope that helps.
German MDA Compact to English with latest JamWWE Rom
Hi There
I have recently undergone this excercise on a new German MDA Compact and after undergoing lots of reading here and trying a few things. I have decided to contribute this back to the community.
Note ensure you have a backup of your original ROM and your contacts and personal data in case of errors etc There are quite a few posts covering this in the forum.
1. Download the zip file at ftp link ftp://xda:[email protected]ers.com/Uploads/Magician/ and select the JamROM_111.132WWE_noID_mod.zip file
2. Download, Unzip and extract to a named folder for instance c:\imate
3. You should end up with about 6 individual files; ms.nb1, radio.nb1, nk.nb1 ruu.conf, ruu.dll, enterbl, getdevicedata and ROMUpgradeUt (this is the MAUpgradeUT_Noid file renamed so there is no need to download anything extra):
for info the maupgradeut is the file that runs the upgrade if you were an iMate user, however as a MDA user you need to get hold of the maupgradeut_noid file which could be obtained over the net or from the XDA developers site.
5. In ActiveSync, click on file and connection settings and untick the USB connection.(Very Important)
6. Connect the phone to the USB and turn the phone into bootloader mode (Camera & Power and Soft reset)
7. Run RomupgradeUt from c:\imate folder
7. The upgrade wizard will start, go through a few checks and proceed with the upgrade (normally you would eventually come up with the country ID error)
8. The process should then go through 3 stages which should last about 15 - 20 minutes.
9. Lastly do a soft reset and you should see your MDA German compact with a new WWE (WorldWide English) ROM
10. In ActiveSync, click on file and connection settings and tick the USB connection so that you can see the device for ActiveSync. Plug in USB and perform yor sync and start the process of moving your data and programs across.
I do hope this helps!
PS I was think of compiling a short illustrated guide taking a lead from some Spanish posts on this matter, let me know what you think.
Excellent! Thanks so much - now have an english MDA!!! And I like the update better too! Definitely like the new color of the number pad
Had a little problem getting to USB mode when I did a hard boot... had to do it a second time after it was already connected and hold the reset for longer... but otherwise all was perfectly clear.
Thanks again!
I love you people
Oh Man, excellent instructions, excellent file, excellent, excellent. I have a T-mobile MDA compact with a Chinese Version of the Pocket PC. downloaded the Jam ROM, installed it. work like a charm. Thanks for the advice, instruction and files.
Hi,
I just went into ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Magician/ and it is empty? has it been moved as I would like to follow the proceedure and update my MDA as well.
Many Thanks
The ftp gets re-organised from what I have seen
Goto the ftp site Magician folder, shipped roms folder
Download rom of choice preferably the latest WWE revision, ensure you have the MAUpgradeUT tool this will ignore the country ID error.
And follow the standard install instructions in the previous posts
Have fun
German to English Rom
Many Thanks, but one question I have seen in other strings that the ROM is 250Mg this one is a lot smaller?
German to English for MDA
OK Fantastic, I now found the ROM followed the instructions above and now have a great English device
Thanks to all that helped me....
PLEASE HELP (FAILURE DURING INSTALATION OF NEW ENGLISH ROM)
Please somenone help me!
A try according to your manuals to change rom from german to english and during the instalallation the blue screen on my computer appeared and it restarted.. My MDA has only tvo words on its display: above Usp and bellow v1.02 . It doesnt work... How can I now finish installation, bescause actvS can not connect phone with my computer... It looks like it's dead...please help...
Don't worry, you in bootloader now. Just run the maupgradeut_noid.exe & the upgrade will start. Might be that you need to uncheck the usb connection allowed in Act.Sync. You're Magician is far from dead in surely you can fix it either with a shipped or with the maupgradeut_noid or with sd flash.
So just relax & restart your executable.
Cheers, M
Dear All,
Is it possible to unlock the SIM on universal
Is tit possible to change the language on the phone from french to English
Can you please guide me on how to do the above as I dont speak french
Is it possible to save the current settings on the phone if the above fails
as the operator sayzs that the warrantz on the phone is void if the language is changed or the SIM is unlocked
My current configuration
operatpor 7.113.5.132
Rom version 1.13.51 FRE
Rom Date 22-09-2005
Radio 1.03.00
Protocol Version 42.36.P8
Ext rom 1.13.132 FRE
I can help you change language from french to english.
Doesn't your Universal have a place where you can download the french ROM? If not, it is still possible to backup the french ROM. A little complicated, but i'm sure i can walk you thru the process.
Regarding the unlocking, i don't think it is possible at the moments. The geniuses are working on it but as of now, you can have it unlocked thru your provider. Just pay the fee (which i think is around 20-30€)
Dear Jorgee,
I would appreciatte if you can walk me htrough the language change, I have tried the provider which is orange switherland, that the lock is definite
A Bellah
First step is to tell me which ROM you would like? O2, Qtek, Imate or T-Mobile?
and i assume you would like it in english?
Just tell me what ROM you need and i will walk you thru it
Dear Jorge
My current configuration
operatpor 7.113.5.132

Rom Date 22-09-2005
Radio 1.03.00
Protocol Version 42.36.P8
Ext rom 1.13.132 FRE
and I want to change into english
Which of the following ROM's would you like?
O2
QTEK
IMATE
Take note, flashing the ROM/Changing the language doesnt get rid of the SIM Lock
Dear Jorge,
Which ever you think is best out of all the three you have listed.
ANother question if I may, Would this affect the phone configurations by orange
Thanks

I guess if you want the fastest or newest? The fastest in MY opinion is the QTEK because it has few customizations. The newest I believe is O2 ROM
Regarding Phone configurations of Orange, the configurations are set thru a .CAB file which is stored in Extended ROM. All you have to do before changing ROM is to backup the extended ROM, then Flash the device to english, then run the CAB file that has the Orange customizations.
If you can give me a list of the files in your Extended ROM, i'll do my best to explain what each file does
Dear Jorge,
I guess I will use the same as youy which I thinkl would be the qtek.
Ok where do i get the programme to back upo the extended rom
Thanks
Backing up extended rom, have to install Total Commander. Then in total commander, type \EXTENDED_ROM which will show you the contents of the extended ROM. Just copy to the SD card and save in your computer, that's how you backup extended ROM
For backing up the OS ROM, refer to this thread as it was BUZZ that helped me find out what to do.
Its : http://www.buzzdev.net/index.php?op...=view&id=8573&catid=33&limit=15&limitstart=15
Just download the file at the bottom of this page (page 2) then continue on to page 3 and 4 which explains how to do it. Just PM me regarding where you are already and I will walk you thru the rest as I have already done the procedure
Hello Jorgee,

What command did you enter that caused you to get an error message?
go here ftp://xda:xdaftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Universal/Shipped ROMs and download UNI_Qtek_WWE_11364_151_10300_Ship.exe for the English ROM.
are you sure you don't want to backup your ROM first?
Just drop me a message if you get lost.
dos command
i want to back it up first but I am getting the folowing error on the dos command
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

'pdocread' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Did you install EnableRapi on the PPC first before doing this?
THen you have to disable the USB connect option of ActiveSync,
Then enter Bootloader mode on yor universal,
then connect it to the computer,
then run the pdocread
is this what you did?
no I followed the articel your refered me to, I ran the enable rapi, then connected to the usb and then ran the programme.
I also tryed to download the qtek system but the link you gave me does not let me acess the site
you have to put xda:xda in the link as this is the username and password. Or use an ftp program to access the site, this might be easier
I put it in the bootloader state and still the same message
I put it in the bootloader state and still the same message, but the message on the article you refered me toi says not to do so, I have tried both methods and cantr seem to be able to get it done
Sorry, but i don't know what to say. Are you using the original cable?

http://www.romkitchen.de
for roms
which one depend on which one you pref
One thing to note, if you are happy with the performance of the cell phone side of things, don't upgrade the radio stack rom (it's a seperate rom to the os images, also called program B). It's more trouble that it is worth
I have an HTC Innovation, Qtek 9100...also wizard i think, Os: 1.1.7.8
GSM 1.4.10, SPL 1.01, Ipl 1.01, The language is in french.
I want at least to change the language to english, but i want it also a little updated.
I don't know what g3, g4 means and how to find out what version i have.
Please tell me where to begin to upgrade the phone, here are to many post and are some terms i don't understand like g3, g4, ipl, spl.
I don't think the phone is locked.
I also have vista
Thankyou and please guide me a little.
Start Here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard
You have a G3 device
Here is a link to flash an english rom to your device
ftp://xda:[email protected]_9100_RUU_Prodigy_10107105_Qtek_WWE_ship.exe
it is not an upgrade basically the same as you have now but in english
here is a link to all the files you need to unlock the wizard both sim unlock(any sim card can be used) and cid unlock( You can install any rom)
http://rapidshare.com/files/53377946/Wizard__CID___Sim_Unlocker.rar
password for rar file is scousemartin
Once you have all this installed, you can flash any wm5/6 rom available for the wizard
thankyou, u've cleared things up for me ...
just how u know that is ia g3 or g4, g i think g stands for generation right??.....
found the info from the links...thanks again..
lanst question, after u what is the best wm5/6 to install onto the wizard? what rom posted here? i see here some tnt rom, are they good?
I use tnt 1933 from here and have no problems with it ,i would use radio 2.19 as well,as people have issues with missed calls etc, a link for that is there too
I know you have a g3 as your ipl and spl are 1.01 if it was a g4 it would be 1.01.xx
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341550
download links are located in post 3
you know what is not working? the link to the original wwe rom, from the ftp, looks like it is not there anymore!? can u verify that? or is my computer the problem?
yes i have just checked it isnt available anymore, in fact none of them are there anymore. download my wizard unlock pack and unlock the wizard with lokiwiz2b how to is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249474
hope this is my last question!
What i have missed or what am i doing wrong?
so, i installed the rom from your unlock archive and it is ok, my wizard is in english now
i tried my simcard and it works so that results that my phone is not sim locked so i didn't use any of the sim unlock tools.
now i try to flash the tnt rom and gives me : error 295 and says something like imposible to use on your device and says to use some newer nfb file
...and what is the extended rom?
now i am reading: You MUST have an IPL and SPL at 2.xx or higher (BOTH not just one or the other).
so this means i can't install this rom if i have ipl spl 1.01?
reading a tutorial while updating this post!, so i red that i have to install a tmobile rom before i can install any rom? is this true?
Which rom did you install the button rom? or the o2 rom?
if it was the button rom did you follow these instructions
1 - Unzip lokiwiz.zip to a folder on your desktop
2 - Copy EnableRapi.cab to your Wizard
3 - Execute the EnableRapi.cab in your phone. Wait for it to finish
4 - Guarantee that your phone is connected via activesync with the computer
press the windows key + r and type cmd and press enter to get a dos window,that way when lokiwiz finishes you will still be able to read what it says
5 - Click on the black dos window that has opened and type cd desktop then type dir /ad and then a list of all the directorys on your desktop will be shown then change directory to the lokiwiz2b directory and Execute lokiwiz.bat (on your computer!)
Extended rom is what it says, a part of rom that is in an extended partition, basically it contains customisation programs and important files for installing into the wizard when it is hard reset.
when you say you tried your simcard ,was it the same provider e.g. o2 that you were using before? If it is the same that wont make a difference, try a sim from a provider that you dont have like t-mobile.
Anyway simunlock just allows you to use any sim, cid unlock allows you to load any ROM which is what you want to do.
