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

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!

Ensure Activesync is in the normal mode (USB check is ON).
Run the executable ROM update program.

QTEK ROM

I would like to flash my mda vario with the qtek rom, to solve the issue with the device resetting itself due to having a sd card installed, and to generally speed things up etc. I have visited the wizard ftp site on here, and navigated to the qtek folder, but there are about a million files listed. I am currently a UK user running an mda vario with t-mobile. Which file should I use? Once I have the correct file how do I then install it to my device? After the update will I be able to restore my previous files and settings with my SPB backup file?
Thanks!

bump

as a newbie myself maybe i can lend you a hand.
first of all...in order for you to flash your mda to other rom, you need to sim and cid unlock ur phone. then you download the latest ROM with WWE to your desktop.
connect your wizard to your pc via activesync 4.1, make sure your device is fully charge at all time. after you have sim/cid unlock ur phone, soft reset your device. then run the ROM exe file and follow on screen instruction.
before you start unlock and flasing ur phone, please use the search function and try to look for step by step instruction. thats wht i have done for a few days and manage to flash my mda vario with the latest qtek rom and a custom radio rom. cant say how happy i am with the phone now.

This is the latest qtek wwe rom ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wi...digy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
with spb backup no you will not be able to do a full restore because it will overwrite the registry etc..
Do a custom backup and tick all boxes except system data

How to save my Artemis by sd card

Dear everybody,
I have also killed my 2 day old MDA compact 3 by using the PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap.exe (Feel really frustrated about it)
It will not load windows only
IPL 1.13.0001
SPL 1.13.0001
GSM 02.49.90
OS 1.28.0.0
I've tried a lot but nothing has worked so far. Now my last resort is using XDA tools to make a bootable sd card.
Is there anyone who make a file that the artemis can use of an SD card?
I would be very much obliged!

did you do CID unlock before installing new ROM?

CID unlock is not required for flashing the PDAMobiz Powermap 1.1.2 ROM. Just make sure you follow the right instructions. I did it and you can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294830&page=2
But make sure that you have synced your Outlook data on desktop as there is something wrong with restoring from backup file the PIM related info (I use Spb Backup, but seems it is same with any backup application)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295295

more info.
ianvanhaaren:
1. Please provide more info what exactly happens when you try to turn on your device.
2. What type of error you have when you try to re-flash device? At what percent it stops.
3. Connect device to USB, disable USB connection in activesync. Start mtty console, choose USB type connection (mtty attached, in case you need it).
4. type set 32 in console. send this output.
If CID area on device is corrupted, for the moment only imei-check who knows how to re-calculate this area. Even so, if device won't boot in windows it will not help. You need to connect to device thru jtag interface, in order to load modified spl into ram and perform writing into security area, to recover it. Imei-check says, they know jtag for Artemis.
It may cost you a bit of money.
If you have an option to send it to service center, do it. It would be your best choice.
Regards.

After I read http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardUpgrade4
It says The WM6 does not work on PH20A2 (Harrier) (Audiovox PPC-6600 / PPC-6601 / XV6600)/ CDMA device! <-- that is my mistake
My mistake steps:
1. upgrade 2003 2nd edition to WM6 (I see 4 color strip with "NO GSM" at the bottom, stuck in there. The PPC will stop if I remove the battery for a few seconds and put battery back)
2. use mytt <-- may not hurt (I see 4 color strip with "NO GSM" at the bottom, stuck in there. The PPC will stop if I remove the battery for a few seconds and put battery back)
3. Do hard reset, format the PPC (stuck in white screen, then do soft reset. The PPC will ""NOT"" stop if I remove the battery for a few seconds and put battery back)

What do you mean reflash?
Does it mean that Reinstall the WM6, or install other OS like WM5?
However,Without activesync how can I do that?
OR reflash mean formart?

You did very stupid thing, you have flashed GSM based rom to a CDMA device, the only thing you can do is to use WM2003SE, flash your device with its original or any CDMA (Harrier) based WM2003SE rom
Quick Howto:
Put your device in bootloader mode, put it on the cradle, start the upgrade including radio (the same version can be flashed on top of the previous one), this will fix your device, if it does not then after successful WM2003SE upgrade do the MTTY "set 14 0", "task 28", "task 0".
Keep me posted if you have problem
P.S.
WM5 and WM6 does not work on Harrier (CDMA Blueangel) device, i hope my instructions to help you to have at least usable device

So far, I can use the phone without any problem. Previously, I tried to upgrade my phone because I want to use bluetooth headset to listen music. That can only be done in WM5 or later. Now I reinstall my CDMA version of WM2003. I find out that the bluetooth does not work due to expire of lincese key. Does anyone have any suggestion how I can over come it? I just want my phone back to exact a few day ago. Thanks
thanks

Someone has posted the attached file and said that it can fix BT license expired error. I have not tried it myself since I dont face such prob, so use it on your own risk.
To use it - extract archive to your PocketPC and run EXE file.

'Start' batch file does nothing.
Tried opening it directly from a command prompt, but still nothing, except it opens another dos box.
Thoughts ?

The 'start' batch file fails because the first command is 'cd RUU'. but there is not a folder called RUU.
Then it tries to rename two files which also do not exist. Hence it never actually arrives at the exe file to unlock & install the ROM.
Can this work if you simply run the exe file without renaming & changing folders ?

Hi, and thanks for that script...
The .bat works well for me but while updating the rom, I've got an 270 error... 'The images files is corrupted please check your update utility'
does any one had the same issue on his phone? Do you think I just need to download it again? (concidering that the zip file uncompressed normaly, I assume it works well...)
Thanks for your answers...

upgrading MDA Touch
please i need your Help.
I have download the" touch essential V3.5 Manilla" on my PC. But i don´t know how to send it to my MDA.
Activsyc is working.
Where kann i fine the cert_CAB?
I have also unpacked the V3.5 manilla, but there is no way to run it in the MDA how should i do this.
many thanks

My 2 cents...
If I were you I wouldn't rely on a torrent posted by a junior member (age 12) and rather download the ROM posted by Football on Rapidshare => See his post HERE <=.
I've been using it from day 1 without any problem...

gruikdadude...
gruikdadude... I understand were you are coming from but I have been very carefull on what i look for and actually this torrent file was uploaded by someone on xda developers so i am saying the update worked fine for me so why shouldnt it for you so before you start criticising a me for posting something that is just to assure htc touch owners that there is a reliable WM6.1 upgrade is there anything wrong with this......... NO!!! so before you criticise think twice !!!bell end!!!

Can you plz. give us link for zip file instead of the ttornet one
thanks in advance

can you tell me the diffrences between this rom and the original 6,1 rom? i see no manilla2d, but more differences?

hi i tried the whole procedure , but i get the ERROR[270]: Image file is currupted, can anyone help regarding this error, how to get the uncurrupted version?

Since this rom is giving a lot of people problems, why not just use one of the verified good roms from the Elf Upgrading subforum?
