I just bought a HTC Magic (white one with vodafone written on it) from somebody (used one, not new).
In settings, about I see:
- model number: t-mobile mytouch 3g
- firmware version: 1.6
- baseband version: 62.50s.20.17u_2.22.19.26i
- kernel version: 2.6.29.6-cm41
- mod version: cyanogenmod-4.1.11.1
- build number:drc63
He told me that a part of the OS is on the card and I should not format the card or change it.
My questions:
1. I want to change the card, get a bigger one (I only have 1gb now)
2. I believe I have to change the ROM or something to get microsoft exchange support.
I'm sorry if this is not the right place to ask. Hope somebody can help me out with some info or some links where I have to do some readings.
Thats right. He has enabled something called app2sd, which installs the applications that are normally located on the phones internal memory to the SDcard.
If you format the SDcard or put in a new make sure to reinstall the current ROM or a new ROM. These should be located in the root of the sdcard in a zip format and flashed through the recovery menu which you can enter by powering on you phone while holding home+end.
By the way this is the wrong section, and the thread will be reported. Please use the search function, since this has been covered before.

All you have to do is find a rom which suits your needs, download it, put it on the new sd card, rename it to update.zip and boot in revovery mod (home+end call).
Make sure the rom is 32B version.
Salutari si bafta !
can someone please tell me if the original ROM had support for exchange?
is it possible to return to the stock rom and have all the system to phone memory, not on SD card?

There are some much better roms out there than the stock ones. Just do a little reading here on xda.

Yes, of course.
Ok, that is great, but i need somebody to tell me step by step what do I have to do. I'll have my new microsdhc class 6 card today that will replace the old one of 1gb. What do I have to do next? If I remove the old card now, the android will not boot anymore, something is on that card
Ok, I got my new card, usb reader, everything I need I guess.
What do I have to do next?
problems solved, thank you.
i'm now running a rom with full exchange support.

Hi,
I have a TMobile pocket pc, Rom version: 3.08.10 and Radio Version: 6.02, I want to upgrade it to WM2003, the problem is that I don't have a tmobile phone number, I saved my ROM on a sd card with the Wallaby Bootloader, I downloaded the "XDA OS Image Tool", could I put the "T-mobile ROM Windows Mobile 2003 upgrade 4.00.21" from Yorch and if it doesn't work just reload the old version with Wallaby?
Could I cook a Rom in the Kitchen and install it or I need PHP support?
Thanks
Yes to all, also you'll need to upgrade your radio stack to get the always on GPRS.
BTW where are you located?
HTH
How do I upgrade my radio? I'm in NY but I need the phone also in Europe.
when you said yes you mean also for the kitchen I need PHP support, does that mean a server like Apache installed on my computer?
btw in Wallaby I saved with the first option to the Sd, I think it was CE ROM TO SD, is that ok or I need to do something else?

Yes on the kitchen!
The best way to upgrade the radio stack is to copy the needed files to
your devices Windows folder and install it from there. If you send me a PM with your email address I'll send you the needed files.
You lost me on the needing PHP support, why do you need that?
HTH
what are all these instructions at http://xda-developers.com/ROMkitchen/, is it for someone that wants to run the kitchen on his computer?
should I use the kitchen version .16 or it's more secure the .21 from yorch with XDA OS Image Tool?

Yes those instructions are for setting up your own kitchen.
I'd go with .21 cause thats what I'm using.
BTW you can also get ROM version 4.0021 from http://www.yorch.net
under Software.
HTH
I have the 4.00.21 version from Yorch my last question is what I need to select in Wallaby?
1. CE ROM TO SD
2. BOOT TO SD
3. CE+BOOT TO SD
4. GSM ROM TO SD (I guess not)
5. CE + GSM TO SD (also probably not)
Thanks...
Pick door number three and make sure that you have loaded onto the sd card only the nbf file from Yorch's site.

you got my a little confused... I thought of backing up to the sd the actual rom and then writing the nbf file to the device, but now you said to load the nbf file to the sd... could please explain...Thanks
Okay, get the os toolset, an sd card reader/writer, an sd card of at least 64mb and do the following:
-install the os toolset
-put device in cradle
-run ostoolset and backup your ROM to your hard drive. Name it something like ppc2002-10-13-03 or something similar. This will backup your ROM only, not any installed programs
-remove your device
-insert the sd card into the reader/writer
-open os toolset again and select the new rom you downloaded from the internet
-select the sd card as the installation drive
-once its done copying put the sd card into your device
-run the wallaby bootloader and have it install the os to your device.
-hard reset when done as directed and BINGO
*** I will point out that it seems you have not read very many of the posts here. DO THIS BEFORE YOU DO ANY OF THE ABOVE ***
I'm actually going through this forum for a week till I decided to ask, since nobody wrote clearly how to do it, Thanks!
Now since I don't have a sd card reader, before I get it, is it possible to upgrade directly without having to do it with the sd card?
Another question, with which extension do I save the backup of my ROM, nb1, img, bin.
Thanks again
what's the difference if I copy the .nbf file to the SD reader or if I just copy it to the sd through the device?
Once again, please read the posts. You can't copy the file to the sd card while in the device for it will only copy the file as a file instead of copying it as a bootable interface. If you don't understand this then you should definitely read more posts. No offense.
You can, if you wish, just us the OS toolset to overwrite your device ROM with any ROM you choose. Just go to the ROM TOOLSET forum to download and follow the instructions there. It is very easy but be careful. I just believe in the aforementioned method for it forces you to take steps to prevent a total loss. I wish you the best of luck.
Oh, if you really want to update your ROM, etc., invest in a card reader. It'll cost you less than $30 which is less than 6% of what you paid for your device most likely.
No matter what you do make a backup of your current ROM!
valheru, thank you very much for taking your time, belive me that I really read allot of posts, if you could direct me in a thread that speaks about this I'll be very happy instead of using your time!
Now I just copied the nbf file to the sd card with OSImage Tool, and when I went in Wallaby it gave me the option to upgrade the ROM, is that ok? or I still need a sd reader,
Thanks again for all your help!
That sounds alright but make sure you make a backup of your current ROM first!
Great!!! It works, now one last question the Radio Version is 6.02, Qman what version did you send me and how do I upgrade?
ok here are the istructions to upgrade to ROM 4.00.21 for a TMobile Pocket Pc Phone Edition.
You just need a sd card of at least 64MB (maybe 32Mb will also work).
Download the OSImage Tool from http://www.xda-developers.com/XDAtools/ and install it.
Download the Upgrade to 4.00.21 from Yorch.net http://www.yorch.net/downloads/ROMS/T-mobileROM40021.rar.
-put device in cradle
-run osImage Tool and backup your ROM to your hard drive. Name it something like ppc2002-10-13-03 or something similar. This will backup your ROM only, not any installed programs
-open osImage Tool again and select the new rom you downloaded from the internet
-select the sd card as the installation drive
-run the wallaby bootloader and have it install the os to your device.
-hard reset when done as directed and BINGO

Its radio stack 6.24.
To upgrade just unzip then copy the four files to your devices Windows folder then run RSUpgrade.exe from there.
Okay, here goes.
I own an XDA PW10A1 with the following details:
ROM version: 3.20.06 ENG
ROM date: 07/03/03
Radio version: 4.21.01
Protocol version: 32S54
Bootloader: v6.22
A couple of years ago I flashed a ROM to my other XDA which I later had to send in for repair (the screen broke), and when I got it back, it was a completely different device, but with the same ROM version etc. that I've specified above.
After a year or two with the stock standard ROM on my replaced XDA I'd like to put a different ROM onto it, but I remember how difficult it was back then. I actually flashed it with a T-Mobile ROM, which I discovered wasn't the best move to make in flashing ROMs. Anyway, I have now a formatted 256Mb Kingston SD card which I know is working, and when I go into the Flash Tools on my XDA I see the following options:
+ CE ROM to SD
+ Boot to SD
+ CE + Boot to SD
+ GSM ROM to SD
When I select any of the above options, I receive the following error message "Card Key Invalid. Press Action key to exit."
Via XDATools, I've performed what appears to be a successul backup to the SD card (which took around 40 minutes) using the following settings:
+ Source: Device memory (current ROM)
+ Destination: XDA SD Card Slot - unknown size
I want to ensure that I can copy a new ROM image onto my SD card, and then perform the ROM upgrade using the XDA Flash Tools. Does anyone know if I'm able to do this if I'm receiving the "Card Key Invalid" error message, or am I just being over-cautious?
Thanks,
not sure what the error mean never seen it before
but when you enter the bootloader with a valid rom on the SD
you dont have to pick anything or click or choose it just start
updating

Yes, I'm pretty sure that I can put the valid ROM on the SD card and then update from there, it's just that I wanted to backup my current ROM before putting the updated ROM onto my XDA - I don't want to end up in the same situation that I did a couple of years ago!
The problem is, I'm trying to cook a ROM on Lumpi's kitchen with the "Installer EXE" unchecked, and it fails everytime (ROM creation error). Having the tick-box enabled allows the ROM to be built, but I want a non-EXE ROM for the SD card method - is that right?
Thanks,
change the exe to zip and copy the nbf files out

Hey Everyone
I've got a Hero from 3 network in UK and i want to install the latest generic stable official firmware rom onto it(if this is the fastest possible ROM). how would i go about doing this?
FW version: 1.5
Baseband: 63.18.55.06iu_6.35.08.22
Kernel: 2.6.27-430d1aea [email protected] 951

soft: 1.0.0.A6288
Dont mind doing tricky stuff, not a comp noob, just new to HTC devices
thanks in advance
Hi, welcome to the forums
what you need to do is create a goldcard, what this does is bypass the cid check when upgrading your rom, CID stands for carrier ID it stops people on branded devices flashing generic roms, you will find all the info you need in this thread
i hope this helps

maybe you can do it by connecting your hero to your pc then mounting the sd card but i havent tried

I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the phone doesn't completely emulate a card-reader in USB Storage mode. It mounts the /sdcard/ partition as a usb device, but you need access to the boot sector of the SD card.
Attempting to manipulate the boot sector of the card through the phone's USB connection may produce undesirable results.
Best case: It works!
Worst case: Your phone stops booting, because you accidentally altered the phone's boot sector instead of the SD card's.
Hi all.
I'm not really sure if this is the right place to put this, but it's driving me right crazy. Here's some background:
I have a G2 Touch (Hero) on T-Mobile.
I was running T-Mobile Android 1.5 on it, build 2.73.
A while back I did the goldcard thing, but never updated the ROM, as I heard a rumour that 2.1 was coming soon enough.
I got the "prep" update for 2.1, which broke my phone (hazard triangle screen). I read on forums that I needed to reflash the T-Mobile ROM and then it would work fine.
I took a ROM I'd downloaded which I thought was the T-Mobile ROM... you can see where this is heading... I have no idea what ROM it was or where I got it from, but it was probably one I'd downloaded in the goldcard setup.
Anyway, the mystery ROM loaded fine, as did the prep update. I then got the 2.1 update, which also loaded fine.
There's the history - I'll apologise now for that.
Currently my phone is running as follows:
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Baseband version: 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11
Kernel version: 2.6.29-063c4d24 [email protected] #1
Build number: 3.32.405.1 CL191507 release-keys
And so to the problem:
Since updating, I seem to have no permission on my phone to write/delete files. For example, putting an ebook file into the books folder of my sdcard just won't let me. I can do it via my PC using the sdcard as a drive, but I need to be able to do it on my phone so the book reader picks it up.
Can anyone help with my stupidity?
You could try to backup your files from the SD Card to a computer, put the SD Card back into the hero. And go to settings, and choose to format the SD Card.
Then place the files back to the SD Card from the computer.
Don't know if it will work, but it's worth a shot?
I thought about that - but then I thought would that cause trouble with the goldcard thing I did on the SD card?
Okay.. I formatted my sd card to no luck. I then removed my book reader (Aldiko). I then uninstalled the file manager (Astro), as it refused to delete the Aldiko folder on my card. Then I installed Linda File Manager which was able to delete folders from my sd card. I then reinstalled Aldiko and it loaded books fine. Beats me.
I'm guessing these programs were having issues following the update to 2.1, but a reinstall seems to be the cure.
Did you sort this? I'm having a similar issue, can't write to my SD card..
I get this error message when I try to change permissions: "sdcard permissions cannot be changed because the file system is read-only."
uh yeah - see my previous post above yours!

Sorted, thanks! Had to re-format my SD card.. FAT32 and working like new
Hi guys!
yesterday I finally decided to install Android NAND. Everything worked just fine - BIG thanks to all developers at this point!
There's only one big problem: it seems like Android doesn't find my sd-card. I can access, format, write and read via my cardreader, but in Android's SD-card settings there's no sd-card available.
things I tried to do:
removing sd card: android says, that the card has been removed
rebooting system without wifi: no changes
formatting sd with fat32 in windows: no changes
here some general information:
android version: 2.2
kernel: 2.6.32.15-g66f6ed7-dirty
baseband: 15.40.50.07U_2.12.50.02_2
please can anyone help? thanks in advance!
OK, here's an update:
I just tried another micro sd from a friend's galaxy I9000 - and it works! Though, I don't think, that my own sdcard is broken, since I can work with it via the cardreader.
One thing could be important: earlier I formatted the sdcard for using it as goldcard. Therefore I have been working with a tool called PSAS. I guess, this changed something. Can this process be reversed?
Thanks for your replies!

I don't think that using your SD-Card as goldcard is the problem, i've done the same with my SD-Card and it works without Problems.
