ERROR 228 Invalid File Size - P3300, MDA Compact III upgrading etc.

Hi
I wonder if someone could please help me. I am trying to upgrade my MDA Compact III with Shady313-23081-WWE-R2 - ROM.
The process seems to start to work and then gets to 3% and bottoms out!
What then follows is the message above being displayed. I have downloaded the rom file a couple of times thinking it may have been corrupted, but no joy.
Any help would be appreciated

Thanks.
Anyone tried that?
Since my phone is working perfect now, it is nonsense to try that
It didn't work for me.
GREAT!!!!
it worked for me in my qtek 1010.
Mirror on xda-developers
I downloaded Ricardo's repair.zip file and took the liberty of mirroring it on xda-developers, since my download went at a whopping 200 bytes per second.
We've seen this recipe before, and it does appear to fix at least some of the problems caused by RSU upgrades not finishing.

hi guys
still stop at 1% and showed massage
((flash failed! Press OK restart your device))
any help
hi guys!
I have this problem also.
Still stop at 1% and showed massage
((flash failed! Press OK restart your device))
Just try to do following: start 3.23 ROM update to extract RSUpgrade.sa.CAB and place it to SD card instead of file found in repair.zip.
The situation you describe looks like your device died while flashing new 3.23 version. So you may try to continue process with 3.23 version instead of old one. This is because 3.23 don't allow to "downgrade".
Hi AE !
Where can I find 3.23 ROM file ?
Thx for your helps.
If your device died while trying to upgrade to 3.23 radio, the CAB-file should be found in "C:\Program Files\Radio Stack Upgrade Utility".
My device died while trying to upgrade to radio 3.19 but I trying to copy to SD all Radio upgrade, but don't work. Still stop on 1% and error message is "Flash failed. Press OK to restart device".
Other tips ?
Radi ROM
i have the same pb the alnasser and sebi; i have tried everything; what we need is a new rom version for the radio and not an upgrade; also while using boot loader and if i try to copy the GSM rom from a working phone i got a message saying: connect to RS232 and run PC monitor; i have USB and i do not know what is PC monitor...any ideas???
It worked for me also, but with slight changes
Hi,
The soloution above worked for me after a little trial and error.
I was trying to upgrade to new UK Radio Stack but flash failed in the middle of upgrade (probable because the keyboard popped up onto the screen for no apparant reason, then locked up).
However, after much wailing and gnashing of teeth, I found your website!!
I installed the Files onto an SD card as described above, and although the XDA was going painfully slowly (about 3 mins to warm reset). managed to get to the today screen. I ended up pusing the "record button" repeatedly to try and get some response out of the machine, finally it auto ran the program on the SD card, only to be told that flash failed
Undeterred I repeated the exerscise with the other RSUpgrade.sa.cab
file, this gave the same result!!
However I soon realised that this cab file is kept within the .exe file of the original upgrade I tried to do, so... Using winzip I extracted the relevent RSUpgrade file for my XDA and put that file on the SD card instead.
It Worked!!!
Consequently I conclude that if the file fails or stops at 1% then it must be because it is NOT the correct file for your XDA, you need to use the correct upgrade cab file for you particular XDA.
Hope it helps someone else.
Essentially the watchword is "perseverence".
it starts but stop on 85%??!!
hi i have a dead xda and i'm trying to fix it but it stops on 85% sometimes on 83%,i'm using the copy of cab file to sd card and runnig it from xda anyone can tel me how to get over this?
now it stops on 1%
i have removed it from charger and put the file on the sd card,the progress bar went to 99% then flash failed,now it gives me that message on 1%,how to fix it??!!

Hi,
seems to be the same case as I had: I found version, which did not freeze in 1%, but in 85% all stopped.
I unfortunatelly don't exactly remember complete list of my steps, but THIS MAY BE IMPORTANT:
After I made cold restart, I saw radio upgrade progress bar ( If you can't see this, try to follow instruction about repair.zip solution, mentioned hereinbefore ). Radio upgrade progress window only flashed for a second or two, then disappeared and WIN CE ( trying to boot up ) painted its splash screen. After that WinCE froze with this screen.
BUT:
If you have a luck, radio upgrade may continue on background. After 10-15 mins upgrade was done, and after restart ... I saw normal radio version in bootloader, and it worked well !!!
Note 1:
I killed phone with latest radio upgrade ( maybe lack of space, maybe radio switched on ), so there was no way to use lower versions ( it leads to "1% problem" with downgrade )
Note 2:
When my steps was still unsuccessfull, I continued [up|down]grade WIN CE and Bootloader. Maybe it was solution, maybe not, I dont know. I did it because I thought it would solve some problems with space for radio installation. My second reason was, that it should stop neverending ( 1% freezing) radio upgrade window after each boot.
Note 3:
During these installation steps it seems to me that battery si getting weaker, and does not recharge. So I tried to revive WIN CE first to be able to recharge.
Some steps may be unimportant, based on my feeling how it may work.
Anyway,
MY MDA RESURRECTION SUCCEDED,
so I hope it helps.

The Solution to the GSM ERROR Issue.ON XDA (QTEK 1010)

Hello all.
i have been searching the forum for the solution of this problem, some guys suggested solutions that involve a file that is no longer available, upgrade.zip which is aparently a radio upgrade(or downgrade) made for the SD card (a startup.exe in a startup directory).
Well, having said that, i had to solve this problem last night, and here it goes.
after trying original ROM upgrades, all versions, 3.14,3.17,3.18~4.
nothing worked.
finally, i grabbed a copy of xda-developers's 1.1 ROM
and guess what!!!
the phone started up, gave me the screen allignment and the whole menu!
sure enough, ran file commander(that version did not have file manager) copied the RSU files over to the windows directory, and the exe file to the windows\startup and rebooted the phone.
it stopped at 1% again... NOW REMEMBER, i had an EMPTY BATTERY...
the 1% ERROR is a battery issue, that turnes into this issue when the modem upgrade FAILS.
so here is what i did. and you be the judge.
i ran active sync from the phone, and it did connect(while the upgrade program is still running) and left the room/
in 10 minutes i came back and the upgrade was completed, so here is what i think
i think that the RSU will still run if it was in the background!!! even with an empty battery(connected to the charger ofcourse.
i did not have much time to do anymore testing, but i am sure that someone with the same problem will make the time. the key from my experience is that the proccess will complete if it is in the background.
there u have it.
good luck.
i forgot to add that the upgrade i used was taken from yorch's page and it was the latest Tmobile, i had to downgrade later to an older version that i have to solve the network issue, but it was done(the downgrade) like a charm, i had a full battery then.
here is the Tmobile RSU link v6.24
http://www.yorch.net/downloads/ROMS/TMOradiostackupgradeR624 .zip
a 1.26 MB file.
Hi!
Now I'm taking a try (unfortantely I've found only the special edition rom 1.2).
No success with SE ROM 1.2. Where could I download 1.1 from? Found it nowhere.
One more thing: maybe the version of active sync counts? Mine was 3.8.

Hello to all, and mr stefan,
I upgrade my qtek 1010 with SFX56 windws 2003, it also upgraded my RSU, which is not working in Middle East. Kindly advise me how to downgrade or upgrade with other RSU. Thanks
your problem is in the network selection, search the forum for the proggy that changes it from 1900 to 900 and you should be OK.
i hate telling anyone to search i know how hard it is, but i do not have a clue where the proggy is, meanwhile, if i run across it, i will point it out,
if not, go to the bootloader, select GSM and change it from there, you will loose all data so backup first,
Good Luck.
search for "bandwith switch tool"..... good luck.
here it is on wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BandSwitchTool
tell us if this fixes your problem.
if not, you will find links to radio upgrade on

for a great resource.
good luck.
never knew you can post as guest
well, again, let us know what happens.
hi all
I just picked up a XDA from a guy who screwed up the radio stack upgrade (it cosy me @$80 USD ) and im now on a mission to fix it...
using your advice I used the XDA developers rom 1.1, this got the phone to start up with the working today screen and menus etc....
I install/copy over the new RSU upgrade files over and reboot
but here is where i get a bit stuck...
I cant get into active sync fast enough before I get the 1% RSU upgrade error, so the upgrade wont run in the background, it just sits there....
how do you get into active sync before the error comes up?
cheers

15 Euro for helping me!!! (paypal) NOW 20 EURO !!! -- PLEASE

Hello,
I will offer 15 Euro to whom will give me a solution to pass the GSM error (1% error).
I have a T-Mobile PW10B-Model. I tried to upgrade the RSU to RSU_V6.25.02. Maybe because the battery wasn't full, the upgrade failed.
I followed step-by-step the procedure from "http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_GSMError" but no success, I still have the 1% error...
I read that there is a tool called repair.zip, but I didn't find it.
Please try to help me...I don;t have money for another pocket
Thank you,
Flavius
Re: 10 Euro for helping me!!! (paypal)
15 EURO !!!!
Re: 10 Euro for helping me!!! (paypal)
this is what I did:
How to fix GSM Error Problem ....
Download the XDA-Developers ROM Version 1.1
Install the ROM on your Device via SD-Card and bootloader.
The phone should start up and give you the screen allignment and the whole menu!
Download an Upgrade for your device. This depends ont the model you are using. Check the sticker at the back of your device.
If it is a PW10A-Model download RSU Version 4.16
If it is a PW10B-Model download RSU Version 6.24.20
Extract the downloaded ZIP-File and copy all files to the /Windows directory of your device.
Copy the RSUpgrade.exe additional to the /windows/startup directory.
Make an soft reset of your device.
Maybe the upgrade will stop again at 1%, this may occur when you have an empty battery.
Re: 10 Euro for helping me!!! (paypal)
And this is what is not working:
Place your device in the cradle. Run Active Sync on your device. (I did this...the Active Sync runned for a lot of time)
------------------------------------------
The RSU Upgrade will run in the background.
Wait for about 10 Minutes. The upgrade should complete in the background....
Afterwards all should work again...
--------------------------------
HELP!!!!
Here are the repair files, and instructions are included. I hope this is what you're looking for.
You'll need WinRAR to extract the files.

How to update ROM on O2 Orbit-solution

All,
I've exchanged many emails with the imei.check.co.uk team and also met personally one of these guys in order to be able to upload a new ROM to my O2 Orbit. I had excatly the same problem as many of you with ending the uploding process with "model invalid id" error message.
Now I'm happy to say we do have a solution.
So if you want to change your ROM (any), simply follow these instructions:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Of course you can publish the instructions...
BUT PLEASE put a BIG WARNING! It will crash the phone in case you don't have a valid key file to perfom the last step: RUN THE UNLOCKER AGAIN AFTER THE ROM MODEL SWITCH TO RECOVER FROM THE DATA CRASHED MESSAGE!
Hello,
we found a way to flash ANY artemis roms in ANY Artemis look alike device (HTC Hero too).
Tools you need:
-hexworkshop from http://www.bpsoft.com/downloads/
-Any rom
-winzip or winrar
-http://www.imei-check.co.uk/C3v1Unlock.zip
a valid UNL file for your phone.
install hexworkshop and winzip/winrar
Take any rom for example: ART_HTCWWE_11240501_026790_WWE_Ship.exe
in explorer, right click on it and select "Extract files..."
Now it will unpack all the files
You'll have now "HTCWWE_shipsigned.nbh"
right click on it and Click "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop"
You'll see on the 5th row ARTE10000
Make it ARTE***** and save file
Now right click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe and "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop"
Search for word password.it will find it at 0x3E0B0 after password replace "BsaD5SeoA" with "IMEICHECK" and save the .exe file
Now connect the phone to the pc (normal way). run the C3v1Unlock.exe
when is asking for UNL file, disconect the phone from pc, press cancel, and
close the unlocker.
Now connect the phone back to the pc (in this mode it is) and run the
ROMUpdateUtility.exe
Now follow the instructions as the upgrade it will work.
After upgrade done, run the unlocker again and this time select the correct UNLfile.
Task Done.
C3 after flashing with any WIFI roms it will STILL not have WIFI!!!
Regards,
IMEI-CHECK Team
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Cheers, Martin
YESS, I have changed my GER rom to new HTC official ENG Rom, you are the best!!!!!! It's very simple to do...
yuppyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
the next step is.... backup the ROM I'm search ITA ROM form my HTC 3300.
see you later...
Good Discovery,
But the key is: We will have to pay 38USD for the "Proper UNL file" which is unique for every IMEI. Is it right?
Yeah, Thanks mr. Martin who is from Imei-Check Team. But we are still looking for a free solution.
Regards!
Tamagochi,
yes, first you have to go to imei.check and pay for the unlocking program and the unique .unl file.
P.S. I'm not a member of imei.check, just had the same problem as many Orbit users here...you can find my previous thread.
Works great on all versions.
Great support from the boys from emeicheck
Question about directions
Okay, I'm gonna try this. Do I still follow these directions exactly even though I have already unlocked the CID?
Also, when you see the line "ARTE1000" do you actually replace the "1000" part with the little stars? Sorry, I'm really new at this!
Thanks!
Yes you must do it all.
HELP
Everything went smoothly but when the device rebooted, it want me to "align the screen". It doesn't seem to be able to detect the stylus touching the screen! Can't get past that screen! Anybody know what I could have done wrong?
REF: HELP (Never Mind...)
I DID IT, I DID IT, I DID IT!!!! Just had to wait a minute or two and then everything seemed to work fine!!! TomTom is there, my WiFi is working! Thank you MAROSV and FRANCOBANCO!!!! If I can do it, ANYBODY can!! THANK YOU!!!
Hi KleineMaus,
I am wondering which ROM u used on your orbit that includes tomtom?
Or do you just mean you still had tomtom stored on your menory card?
Cheers, Towelie.

hi, I've just used the last HTC offical Rom (see xda ftp site..) that include TomTOm + 1 city map
byebye
Hi, I used the ROM on the Wiki page Dopod|English|DOPOD001|ARTE1****|1.25.707.2 ??/??/0?|1.25.707.104|1.25.0000|02.69.90|4.1.13.30| [Download|ftp://xda:[email protected]/Artemis/Shipped_Complete_Updates/ARTE_DOPODAU_12570702_026990_WWE_SHIP.exe]|[Thread|http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286639]
It worked like a charm. The only problem I had was that when the Orbit re-booted after the process finished, it didn't seem to detect the sylus. I just waited five minutes and then it worked. Guess it was still getting settled in with it's new ROM. I don't know where I had the TomTom before I started the update, but it installed the German maps which were there before but as a bonus it gave me a English speaking voice which I didn't have before. It came with a German voice and I couldn't change because I had not yet upgraded the memory and had no room. So, my update was super! The only little thing is that once I changed the screen color back to blue instead of that terrible green, I couldn't get the phone part (dialing pad) to change to blue. No biggie, as now I can use my Orbit in English. I can live with the green phone pad! Maybe somebody will tweak that one. Hope this wasn't more info than you needed....
KleinMouse,
the dialing pad can be easily changed as well....just do a little seach on this Artemis forum and you will find many links pointing to skins available for WM5 phone edition.
O2 Orbit ROM upgrade info
Hi,
my o2 orbit has ROM 1.25.206.2 WWE. I wanted to know if this is the latest ROM available for my phone. I got my phone 10 days ago and i gotta do a soft reset on it every day. I had the same kind of problems with o2 Atom. But most of the issues were corrected once the ROM was upgraded. Please someone update me on my situation. Thanks
I tried the steps but i'm always getting the ERROR[300] : INVALID UPDATE TOOL - This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please get newer Update Utility
Anyone who can help me here? I already tried different ROMs but always the same message
Did you unlock with imei-check? What is your model ID ARTExxxx ?
Yes i did. My Model ID is ARTE100
Hmm, but the steps described above are necessary to follow only if your model is Orbit (ARTE200). If you have HTC P3300 or Dopod p800W or Artemis or MDA compact 3, then you don't need to do it this way. The only thing you need to do is to unlock with Imei-check. If it still doesnt work, contact their help desk.
Ok i see, very strange indeed. I did the unlock with the stuff from Imei-check but i still get the message ERROR [244] : INVALID MODEL ID . If i try the steps from your post #1 , i get the described error obove. I'll try to contact the guys from imei-check, i hope they can help me
Hi Kleine Maus, I read with great joy that you succeeded and I would like to feel the same way.... Could you kindly reply to me and give me some detailed instructions to follow? Hopefully this will work for my HTC P3300....Thanks in advance.... I really appreciate it. Best SiperX

Help needed please.....can't save pictures!!!

Hi there,
Can somebody give me some advice please? Have a Vario II and it's been working perfectly for the last couple of months using WM 5 and PIE. However, now whenever I try and save any image from PIE the error message "Error: Unable to save the file." appears!
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks.
hmm..that's odd..i'd never encounter a problem like this before,even on PIE! even my iPAQ 5450 running on wm2002 doesn't have this problem..better have the experts here fast!
Any ideas guys?
Bump.............
No experts out there??
I ran into the same problem... In my case I think it was a problem with the number of files in a given directory. That said I created a new folder and moved the existing files there. After which I tried the download again and it worked.
Maybe worth a shot.
