problem magician

I am new of the forum, I have just purchased a nm8 used magiacian (t-mobile MDA) it is I bring a problem.
The preceding owner has begun an updating of the rom that has not gone to good end and the device doesn't now set out anymore and from the following error:
USB V1.00 (if connected USB).
Serial V1.00 (if disconnected).
Bootloader mode ?
What must I do for going on?
I hope in a help
Best regards Luca

help
I pray you helped me, the first post is from beginners, but believe I have followed the standard procedure.
unloaded the rom
unloaded no-id
always tried upgrade more times failure.
HELP !

for the beginning you should use a standard ROM to get familiar with the device.
just go to the t-mobile website, downloads, chose your device type and then look for files named softwareupdates or so.
they will be in zip-format.
there will be an application in there. just go into bootloadermode, connect your device and start the upgrade. it's completely guided and will last about 20min.
although most of the ppl that read/write in this forum didn't install the eROM, I think you can start with all the cusomization stuff. If you have become more familiar with your mdac, you can try other modified ROM's.
just ask if you have more questions
greetz Stefan

i have to say that using standard rom (jam rom downloaded from club imate)
the upgrading applications hangs.....
and leave magician in booting mode, ready to be erased....
i was desperaded, but last experiences with motorola phones and its firmwares advice me to try again
so i had to launch againg that apps and it starts erasing actual rom....
i think there is a bug in few roms.... may be only in its installer

Have tried with the T-mobile rom but doesn't even go with that!

Caslu,
Have you tried a hard-reset?
If so: I guess you've got a decent TMO magician rom downloaded. So get maupgradeut_noid.exe from the ftp. Extract all the files from your TMO shipped-rom & put them in a directory, so you get some .nbf files, enterbl.exe & maupgradeut.exe. Now put the maupgradeut_noid.exe in the same directory. Connect your magician to the usb. It should read usb v1.00, if your magician isn't in bootloader press camera&power&soft-reset at the same time for a few secs. till you get the usb or serial reading.
After connecting it to the usb execute the maupgradeut_noid.exe twice, first execute might give an error 120 second should finish.
If this fails make sure you got a magician & not a charmer.
If it's a magician return it, cause I think it's broken. Hey why buy a device that's in an inconclusive state??
Regards, M

I think really that It broken.
Have picked it because little cost!

Magician: turn on only in bootloader, can't be flashed

Please, help me in the following situation
I bought Qtek s100 It turns on only in bootloader mode. What was before I don't know.
Now I try to reflash it via PC. I unpacked rom 1.12 from imate and put there file MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and then ran it. The utility can't see the device information (it is normal) but it can't see the informatin about the rom I'd like to flash. I click @[email protected] but it says it gather information about the device and nothing happened.
I tried to run again about 20 times, but nothing helped.
I tried to flash it via card using rom-image but there is no invitation to reflash though I flashed via card more than 20 times other htc devices and then everything was ok.
I ran mtty 1.42 and gave command d2s, but it said unknown command. Then I gave d2s command then the device turned off.
I have qtek s110 with broken display. Is it possible to change rom-memory?
Is it possible to get service_manual for magician?
Thanks

First of all, did you back up your current ROM to SD before Flashing new ROM.
1. Yes. It's VERY GOOD. Disconnect your device from PC. You need to insert SD with your ROM to the device and Turn On. Press Power or Cancel button (i didn't realy remeber try all). After that device will flash ROM form SD.
2. No. It's VERY BAD. You need to know start address form what device should start after Reset. Sory here i did not know what it is.

Hi,
Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=46628 about the SD flash
M

thanks, but te problem is the device doesn't want to work with card. No reaction on the card with rom-image, turning off when typing d2s

Don't know where you bought & how much you paid for it (sure hope it's less then a new screen), but sir I guess you're scr*w*d.
Maybe you can replace your broken S110 screen with the one from the S100. There's a rar file on the board, with a detailed description & pictures on howto disassemble your magician, think it's called disassembly.rar.
EDIT You can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=44841
M

thanks, but I think the screen is alive, it shows usb or serial and etc.
As far as i know, there is some diagnostic tests to understand where is the problem. how to activate it?

Diagnostics
Sorry I don't know of a diagnostics test. But you can have a bootloader without a working rom. Since you bought the S100 in a bootloader state, that's very suspicious to me. & that's why I advised you to replace the broken screen on your S110 with the one from your S100.
Hope you can sort it out & if you happen to run across a diag. pls update the wiki with it.

Error 260 on SVP M3100 HERM100

Hi, I hope someone out there can shed some light onto this problem. This is what I have: Orange SVP M3100; Operator: 14.123.1.614; ROM Ver.: 1.23.61.4; ROM Date: 07/13/06; Radio Ver.: 1.06.00.00; Protocol Ver.: 32.37.7010.01H.
I've downloaded and successfully (I think) flashed Hard-SPL-V7.
Bootloader used to read: HERM100; IPL-1.01; SPL-1.04.
Bootloader now reads: HERM100; IPL-1.04; HERM100; SPL-210.Olipro.
The phone still works and syncs. properly, but when I try running SPV_M3100ROMUpdate_0407, it eventually returns Error 260 (Update utility cannot connect to your PDA Phone.) This happens in Vista Ultimate and in XP Pro.
The program will go as fare as identifying the current image as Ver.: 1.23.61.4 and suggests to replace it with image Ver.: 2.11.61.1 however, when I click on OK, it puts the phone into Bootloader mode, disconnects the USB connection and unable to reconnect again. After this I have to do a soft reset and everything goes back to normal.
I'd very much appreciate any ideas to help me get around this conundrum. Many thanks.

put device into bootloader and try flashing from there, otherwise try sd card

OK, I could not flash from Bootloader either; same error message.
Extracted the SVP_M3100ROMUpdate_0407.exe onto the SD card.
Ended up with the following files: EnterBL.exe; GetDeviceData.exe; README.doc; ROMUpdateUt.exe; RUU.dll; RUUUI.dll; RUU_signed.nbh.
None of the above files will run on the PDA. What do I do next? Sorry for being such a novice and thanks again.

Correct, the files are not run from the device.
The hermes wiki has the directions for flashing from an SD card, go check it out.

Thanks for that jdc. I found the information you have suggested and here is what I did so fare:
-Formatted the SD card.
-Renamed the ROM image file to HERMING.nbh
-Inserted the SD card with the renamed image file into the phone.
-Restarted the phone and confirmed that it was reading from the card.
-Put the phone into Bootloader mode by pressing PWR+OK+Reset.
The multi-colour Bootloader screen comes up and nothing else happens. I'd tried pressing the PWR button just in case, but it had no effect.
Any more ideas? THANKS!

SPV m3100 upgrade - error 260 - connection drops when allowing enterBL.exe to run on
Hi - am going through the same process to upgrade my SPV m3100.
I've followed Mr Vanx's guides to the letter - ROM update from 1.23.61.4 to Hard-SPL-2.1 - as soon as i click 'yes' on the phone to allow enter.BL.exe to run - the connection between phone and laptop immediately drops.
I've tried using different USB ports as suggested in different threads = but to no avail
Am running Vista Home Premium.
I'm a novice so sorry for sounding stupid - any help would be really appreciated.

I had the same error until I disabled the phone lock. Worked ok after that

I had this problem for awhile, and I'm using Vista. I can't remember the problem to explain it, but I did one of 3 things to fix it.
1. Follow Mr Vanx's Vista Guide. The most important part is downloading his attached drivers and getting Vista to detect your phone as an "HTC USB Device" or "HTC USB Sync" or something like that.
2. Then I would recommend installing the official ATT Rom, you can download it off of HTC's website.
3. Install Schaps Advanced Config cab, and disable "security warnings"
After this done, you should be able to install a cooked rom from here.

[TUT] HP 91x ROM update (fix bricked ipaq and change from any language to english)

Hi everyone,
I offer you a safe way to recover your bricked ipaq or just change language into English.
I use the lastest official english ROM download on Hp website.
I saw some members have the ideal to patch the ROMupdate.dll to bypass the check the language of the phone ipaq 61x.
It means that we can update the phone with any languages.
I do exactly the same with Ipaq 91x.
So I upload the file for you.
Just download, extract and run hpRUU.exe
Follow the instruction and after about 20m.
You have the phone
P.S: I used this method to change my phone language from Italian to English successful. And recovery my friend's bricked phone.
But notice that I'm NOT responsibility for any damage with your phone.
Good luck
Download the rom here
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?jyzy00y2yal

Good job, thanks!
Will try it out later!

is it still compatible even though my device SKU IDs is not compatible with the update?
Last time i tried i almost bricked my device.

In theory, yes
Actually, like I wrote above.
My ipaq 914c is Italian version.
It means that the SKU IDs of the phone is not not compatible with the update. ( I mean the official update!)
But we all know that there is no difference in the hardware between the ipaq 91x.
So any language ROM versions can be used on the another ipaq 91x phone.
=> WWE ROM can be used on any Ipaq 91x phone.
My Ipaq now is in English. But the SKU IDs still show that it's in Italian.
By the way, I forget to thank: Z!L0G80.

i just tried to update my 912c using HP update utility that i downloaded from mediafire.
but it failed it gave me Code 402 : Cannot Communicate with device. and the device stuck at boot screen with RUU... on top of the screen.
- i already Hardreset the device
- i'm using Benjaminries Motherload ROM
- i'm using Windows XP
please tell is there somethings wrong?
i really want to try the update. should i try using SDbootloader? can you helping find some solution?
many thx

Hi,
As it was given like that, I think you should check the usb cable. Sometimes the cable is not working well. I use the original cable, because the last time I use another there was an error when it was flashing. (I'm not sure if the active syn is necessary. In my case, I have the active syn on my laptop. XP enviroment.)
If you want to try the SDBootloader you can find in this forums some instructions about cutting some bytes to obtain the flashdio.nb0
But I really don't recommend that way. Because the last time when I find the way to change the language by flashing the english Rom following those instruction. My phone was bricked. So I tried to find another way.
And this is it.
I think this method is the safest way for newbie. As I wrote above. The first time I bricked my phone. But I did the same procedure again. And it worked.
Just check the procedure again.
Good luck,

For the SDloader update (Which works very very well on my German 914c):
download the file below (I already cut the first 3432 bytes from it), put it on a newly formatted SD-card (not SDHC!) and hold down volumeup+OK button (the one on the right side) while pushing the reset button, hold the mentioned sidebuttons until you see SDloader. Then wait for a few minutes, and the update will finish!
If the updater does not find the file, you have to re-format the SD-card to either FAT or FAT32!
Rename the file to FLASH.DIO when you copy it onto the SD-card!

Hi Everybody,
@vdragon
1- what a great job, guy!
2- in reality, i have already flashed your ROM successfully for my ipaq 914c, which is a native italian version. Since the incompatibilites of different versions were resolved perfectly.
3-Grazie tanto di nuovo

I'm pretty new with this and I've been trying to update my 910 with original ROM but for some reason it gets stuck and the only way to bring it back is with a SDLoader I downloaded from here but that one is very simple and I'd like one with all the programs.
Is there a way to load yours on it through the SD card?

you can follow the instruction to cut the 3432 bytes and flash your phone with SD card.
I see that many people prefer to use the sdloader method than this one.
But the positive point of this method is that it updates all your firmwares include OS, WAN, Radio... to new version. Not only OS.

Hi all,
Are you really sure that the method of using SDloader has NOT updated Modem, Radio ...so on ?
Anybody has idea on the contrary?

Yes it is true!
Using vragon's patched Updater the following is updated:
OS (=ROM)
Bootloader
Pre-Bootloader
Radio&Modem
This update takes about 20minutes, so be patient, do not remove any cables during update!
The flashing of FLASH.DIO with an SD-card "only" updates the OS (=ROM) and is done within less than 10minutes.
Thanks vrago for patching the Romupdate.dll!

You can also see it in the bootsplash screen. Before the update (even after SDloader updates) it always showed FW 1.04.
Now it is 1.09 - and yeah, it works GREAT and quick!
I can recommend it!! (I do not take responsibility though)
Should be a sticky!!

I've been trying this file, and I get an error at 51% of update. Any ideas?

I think it's about your cable. Be sure that you use the original cable with the anti-noise hub.
If you didn't success the first time. Try it again.
Do as you did the first time.
And just be patient. Don't move anything.
The first time I used this method, at the middle of flashing, I kicked my cable and it just stopped. And I did it again carefully.
So that's it

Actually, I think I figured it out. It seems that Vista treats USB partnerships differently than XP, so after a certain amount of time, it "refreshes" the relationship with the USB device. If you are trying to flash your phone, that stops the flash/update.
I just used my XP system, and it worked fine. After a few registry tweaks for ring volume and battery life, it's working fine.

I'm positive the SD Loader method isn't as thorough as this method. This method takes 20 minutes or so, and you can see that it's updating the pre-loader, modem/radio, etc. The SD method only updates software.

Problem using HP 614c from original ITA rom
I am a stupd guy
I am a stupd guy
I am a stupd guy
Hy vragon, i have used your method to upgrade my device 614c (and not 914) from an original Italian ROM. All process is ended correctly, all upgrade are finished without errors.

Software - From Version - To Version
Bootloader - 1.00.07 - 1.01.01

Pre-Bootloader - 1.00.07 - 1.01.01
iPAQ WAN Radio Firmware - 0.81.00 - 1.09.00
But after the upgrade, at the end the display was black(not really black i can see the leds of the entire display are ON but das not appear nothing), and after some minutes abouth 20, i removed the battery and restart the device but nothing has changed. The led over the screen and the sound working.
I have try also to do a hard reset with a flash.dio on an SD card inserted to replace the Rom, but dose not work!
The device after that will work properly, and das not appear to have any problem.
CAN SOMWONE HELP ME !!!

@ilconte81:
just go to hp site.
find a ROM update for 614c.
download it.
using winrar to extract everything in the exe file.
copy the ROMupdate.dll from my file to replace the file in the folder which is extracted from exe file.
run the rom update again.

Tanks for reply vragon,
i have tryed to do what you wrote, but the device will not be right recognized from the OS (will appear USB device not recognized) and the update utlity after a long time in "Plese wait while the device state is verified" give the comunication error Code 402, Cannot comunicate with device.
I use the original cable and try these on different OS like Win XP and Win 7.

IMEI Change

Hi all!
I was searching the entire forum about how to change my IMEI number of my HTC Universal. But unfortunately I couldn't find any specific topic which instructs the process totally, from the beginning till the end.
I made a detailed research in the forum many hours and downgraded my rom file to a lower version from 2.00.45 to 1.90.94 (although it was the original t mobile rom loaded) because I learned that it may not unlock the CID if the version is higher than 2.00
I succesfully flashed the rom for i-mate jasjar and downgraded. Then, I used HTC universal sim unlock.. I did everything what is written and radio version become 0.00.00... I copied the exe file "uni unlock v1.exe" to the device memory and it was also successfully completed..
However, I couldn't identify my IMEI number correctly when I used aWizard and Lokiwiz.. (they both gave me some errors) and I couldn't identify my IMEI number correctly ( it gave me sth like C34AE5 etc...)
the information of my HTC is recently as follows:
CE OS 5.1.342 (Build 15605.3.2.0)
Memory: 49.73 MB
R 1. 11. 00
G 42. 53. P8
D 1. 90. 94 WWE
my device has G3 chipsets
I looked everywhere but nothing happens. Please help me asap!
