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!

Download the latest shipped ROM for the country your magician was first sold in.
Ensure Activesync is in the normal mode (USB check is ON).
Run the executable ROM update program.

WM6k on Magician - Your Attansion needed

People,
For a start - i am a fresh newbie and dot have any experience at all in ROMS.
I have read all threads on this tree but decided to do it anyway - just for the fun and experience...
I DIDN'T succeeded on upgrading my jam to wm6 but maybe you will be able to tell me why.
I have download a JasJAR wm6 update and started to play with it a little.
For a start , i have put the Last 113 update(MA_TMNL_11300_132_11200_Ship) and the new wm6 Nk.nbf file together in the same folder - and started the NOid upgrade, for my (very hough )surprise - the upgrade process went exactly like from 112 to 113 meaning all 3 stages from 113 to 2.25 - my heart pumped up for about 30 min until the upgrade completed(64M) - after that all i got is the USB\Serial boot loader.
Is this a stage someone have reached?
If the image could uploaded but couldn't boot - can this be fixed via hack ?
PS - all this started when i wanted the new SPB shell application since it is a very cool looking but works only on WM5...
Thanks
Roy

That's realy interestig... =) Did you tried to upgrade to WM5?

Nope - i didn't reach this stage in WM5....
this thing started when i download the WM6 from mininova...wanted to play with it a little bit.
i tried the original ROMUpgradeUt.exe and it gave me a JAS JAR picture with model number - then i tried the NOid.exe and it gave me a Magician picture with its model number!!! -from there the road was short to try what i did in the above..

what link of file you've been downloaded?

same problem sort of
ive got the same phone and when i tried upgrading to wm5 i incountered the same problem, it now wont do anything no matter what i do soft reset, hard reset, take the battery out for an hour. it is stuck in a boot loader screen so i think it might be salageable. but cant find original 2003 windows ver. and cant get it to connect with activesync. although when i do connect it, i do get a connection via usb and get the sound confirmation and pop up. if anyone could help or give me any suggestions it would be great.

Hello!!! =) I've tryed to upgrade to WM6...=) So now it's a brick.. -) I've bootloader screen with word "Serial" and i can't get usb connection.. -(
If someone know how i can resurrect it? =)

=)... 2 hors later it came back! IT'S ALIVE!!! =)

No.. it was jast glitch... -( When i connect my mda to PC and make reset, it shows Usb, but when i disconnect my device, it still shows usb... -(

*lol*
Your "english" just reveals that you're unable to comprehend what has been written so many times before. It's a shame.

Well if it’s any constellation at least you can use your phone to hold down important papers on a desk.

! why are you putting a JASJAR rom on a JAM?
Of course you'l brick it!
And there is NO WM5 OR WM6 COMING EVER FOR THE MAGICIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

go and flash the original ROM and never come back on XDAdev

Hmmmm.
What do you mean with:
Update UPSL v0.1 by Pof
Michael

Pof is a user
UPSL is an unlocker utility so you can flash alternative ROM's
check the link - very informative.
reflashing your phone usually takes a weeks worth of reading if you care for your device.

And read it :

maybe it help you..!

Is there an easier way to explain this - Sorry i'm quite good working with my PC, but this was a bit greek:
All you need to do is:
1. Remove your SD card
2. Do a hard reset or clean storage (some programs like battery status block full access to your device)
3. Connect your mobile to PC and make sure that activsync connection is established
4. Start to flash your device with USPL, when DOS part end and your mobile switch to bootloader mode vista will find new device and start instaling new drivers.
5. Wait till vista finish installing new drivers and unplug your device, do a soft reset
6. Next step is to change vista drivers to xp, to do this you need to fallow this instruction:
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemi d=27
7. After switching the drivers plug your artemis again and install USPL, there should be no more problems with connection lost (errors 260, 270)
8. When USPL instalation will finish you can flash any rom you want to your arte
Succesfully tested on my T-Mobile MDA UK now I've got WM6 WWE.
Thanks pof for your great release

That explination is about as clear as it gets in 'phone talk'.
Perhaps elaborate a bit on what is exactly, or what step is, throwing you off.

Would i solve the problem if i just installed it from an Windows XP machine at work?
One final thing - Do you know if the GPS will still be working afterwards.

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

Please understand what xplode wrote to you, you can not use the GSM ROM on your device, so dont try to check bluetooth etc, go back and reflash your device with the original ROM following what explode said above. Dont you want to save your 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.

Trying to upgrade my Artemis (WM6 Official ESN) to TouchFlo or WM6.5

Hi, to everybody:
I have got a HTC P3300 device (Artemis) purchased in Spain in 2006, unlocked, so I've got no problems on that.
It's was updated by me to WM6 Professional (OS CE 5.2.1620, Build 18125.0.4.2) using official ROM for free devices.
ROM Ver.
ROM Ver: 3.13.412.1 ESN
Date: 8/28/2007
Radio ver: 02.94.90
Protocol ver: 4.1.13.44
ExtROM ver: 3.13.412.102
Now I would like to upgrade it to a cooked ROM like Shady's new ones with WM6.5 or another one with TouchFlo but I can't, altough I've tried almost everything. I'm not a newbie and I work like developer so I understand the most I read but now I'm completely lost; let me explain to you.
My laptop has Windows 7 Ultimate (32bit) installed and I know that this OS(and Vista) have problems so I also tried on XP Professional SP2 without success.
I tried to upgrade the device using the exe directly and trough USPL (from this site and others) but nothing works. I always get the same 2 errors; normally when I use USPL I have error 260 (connection) because the device doesn't go to bootloader screen and if I restart the device into bootloader manually, if the update process starts (not always), it reaches less than 5 or 10% returning a 270 error with message "File corrupt".
I read a lots of in this forum and similar ones checking steps one by one, even trying to update/install USB drivers for Vista but nothing works. When I use USPL, screen goes to black and "unkonwn device" plugged in to USB port is detected on the system so I think the problem is the program can't put the device in correct state, but if I activate bootloader by my self "Sync Device" appears in devices manager but I cannot go futher as I said before.
Do I must make a downgraded to original WM5 and start from it (maybe a problem with loader version)or there's anything that I forgot?. If someone knows a link or think that I missed some step, please help me.
Any kind of help would be appreciated so much. Thank you in advanced

Solved!
OK, here I am!.
Finnally I solved the problem. The issue was that I had have to "do a hard reset before" try to update the ROM. I read somewhere that an application locked the device avoiding the ROM upgrade. I just went to settings > system > emtpty memory and since then I was able to upgrade like the posts said .
Best regards

Can you post a link for the WM 6.5 version, i found two files, but couldn't install

in the rom section u can find a few wm 6.5 versions.
unlock your phone with USPL and then follow the installation instructions of the roms posted
shady313 and babbelut roms are the most current ones based on 6.5
neither of them have touchflo support though but babbelut rom has spb shell, a different kind of touch cube system
