Hello all, I took the bull by the horns this morning and upgraded my PPCPE to 4.00.16 ENT T-Mobile US from JSummers ROM Kitchen.. I used the EXE installer and everything works fine.. I did have to upgrade form Activesync 3.6 to 3.7 once the upgrade was done..
Tonight I decided on trying some new options from the kitchen and downloaded a new EXE.. (still 4.00.16) just with EzWap2 this time..
But the EXE installer won't see the PPC anymore, even though active sync sees it and it syncs just fine. A DOS window comes up and says "ERROR: GetConnectionType - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. error getting connectiontype." The installer window still shows up though.. When I click next to install I get a windows popup box that says "ERROR 011: EXECUTE REMOTE COMMUNICATION PROGRAM ERROR - Cannot execute the remote communication program. Please make sure that the USB/Serial cable is properly connected." When I try again I get another dos window that says "ERROR: GetDeviceData - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. Error getting devicedata".
Am I doing something wrong here?? I've tried the SD method but apparently my SD card writer/reader isn't compatible with XDArit and it writes sucessfully but won't read the card back and the PPC doesn't recognize it as valid..
Help!
:shock: Have you read small notes beside the rom version which tell you to be very carefull before using rom 4.00.16. The notes telling you that after you flash with that rom version will unavailable to reflashing or downgrading with other rom version. Sorry, only this far I could help you cause I'm still a newbie to.
You can go back to a different ROM or the same with more stuff like your situation. BUT you HAVE to do it the SD card way. Search the forum and you will find more info about this. (SD card method)
Hi,
This probably the most asked question here yet I have one thing thats different to the others from what I have read.
I live in Australia, my 02 XDA ppc isnt sim locked or anything however my issue is related to the o/s I have ppc2002 I wanted to upgrade to 2003 and found a file for download and am unaware if this file is the correct file to download for upgrade to my XDA?
I also know I need a radiostack which will work on my XDa once it has been updated to 2003.
2003 file @ http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/PPC2003PE.nb1.zip
Radiostack which will work for me?????
Any help would be appreciated aswell as telling me what are the neccessary files on my PC to use to flash the ppc phone edition via my USB cradle also.
Any other info should be available with my profile.

Hi,
if ur phone works fine in making/receiveing calls, then all u need is a ROM upgrade. goto the kitchen at www.yorch.net and cook a ROM based on 4.00.05 ENG. select the file to be an exe file. download the file to ur PC and connect the xda to the cradle and make sure it's connected to power. run the exe and follow the instructions.
good luck
Hi,
Thanks Biso007 for all your info/help.
I am currently downloading the file that I 'cooked' as I type this out however one thing I was not sure about was in the string section was I to change the string to 4.00.05 as it was set on 3.16 ...
I did change it and its downloading I assume there should not be any issues.
If there is any concerns or if I did the wrong thing by that please inform me... BTW the file was made into an .exe.

Hi,
I visited www.yorch.net and 'cooked' my own ROM made it into an exe and have it downloaded right here it's a 4.05.00 rom flash but I have to ask what software can I use to flash the unit with because I do not have an SD card so I am stuck using my PC to do the flash, I have the official backup files for my ppc from 02's site so I am ok I guess if all else fails i will flash back to what I am currently using.
I wanted to flash the rom onto my ppc however what software can I use? I tried Microsofts Sync software I have 3.7 but it doesnt allow me to flash as it gives me an error message.

unfortunately this is a known issue with some ROMs that can't accept the exe method. you are stuck with the SD card upgrade.
Will adaptrom not work for this?
Hi everyone. I'm new with my XDA1.
I've download this file XDA-developers-SER-v12 and XDAtools.
Still cann't install to my XDA1 since there are no clear instruction.
Can someone guide me or tell me where can i get the instructions please.
Thanks.
if you already have the SER12.exe ... connect your device to the USB cradle and power ... after sync just run the exe file and follow the screen instructions
Note: better to remove the SIM card before
Still cann't install the XDA-developers-SER-v12
Error message said "cann't access the ROM files" :?
Is it i'm missed out some steps?
Please help!!!
what's your current ROM and bootloader versions ?
I've seen a bit on this site about converting a UK T-Mobile MDA Compact to newer english versions but not for the German T-Mobile MDA Compact. As a novice to this stuff I have three questions:
1) Is it the same procedure for my German T-Mobile MDA Compact as it is for the UK version?
2) Can anyone please give me the link to the newest download for the files I need? (not sure I have it)
3) this is what I plan to do (see instructions below) - got it from JFRAN at www.modaco.com's website. It seems that I need both the rom and this maupgradeut_noid file... I'm not sure I've found the most recent rom file and I havent seen the file maupgrade file with the exact same name on the ftp site here... I've already asked for a link to the most update file, but can someone confirm these directions look ok?
Thanks.

Any of the experts willing to put a step by step guide to installing the 1.11 . i have a T mobile MDA , and it all seems so complicated . I am bricking it that I will end up with a dead device .
Tricky stuff, but can be done.
If you are able to get hold of the imate rom, you will need to extract its files and install the upgrade executable file.... esay isnt it
Ok here it goes
1. Download the Rom file
2. Right click and extract to a named folder
3. You should end up with about 6 individual files; ms.nb1, radio.nb1, nk.nb1 ruu.conf, ruu.dll, enterbl, getdevicedata and maupgradeut, the maupgradeut is the file that runs the upgrade if you were an imate user, however as a MDA user you need to get hold of the maupgradeut_noid file which could be obtained over the net or from the xda developers site.
4. Once you have this maup....noid file you will need to add this to the folder created above as this is the file needed to initiate the upgrade.
5. In activesync, click on file and connection settings and untick the USB connection.
6. Connect the phone to the USB, and run the maupdateut_noid,
7. The upgrade wizard wil start, go through a few checks then eventually come up with the coutry Id error.
8. Run the maupgradeut_noid file again and this time it should allow you to run the wizard.
9. The process should then go through 3 stages which should last about 10 - 15 minutes.
10. When finished you should get the upgrade successful notification and a promt to reset the device
11. Hope that helps.
German MDA Compact to English with latest JamWWE Rom
Hi There
I have recently undergone this excercise on a new German MDA Compact and after undergoing lots of reading here and trying a few things. I have decided to contribute this back to the community.
Note ensure you have a backup of your original ROM and your contacts and personal data in case of errors etc There are quite a few posts covering this in the forum.
1. Download the zip file at ftp link ftp://xda:[email protected]ers.com/Uploads/Magician/ and select the JamROM_111.132WWE_noID_mod.zip file
2. Download, Unzip and extract to a named folder for instance c:\imate
3. You should end up with about 6 individual files; ms.nb1, radio.nb1, nk.nb1 ruu.conf, ruu.dll, enterbl, getdevicedata and ROMUpgradeUt (this is the MAUpgradeUT_Noid file renamed so there is no need to download anything extra):
for info the maupgradeut is the file that runs the upgrade if you were an iMate user, however as a MDA user you need to get hold of the maupgradeut_noid file which could be obtained over the net or from the XDA developers site.
5. In ActiveSync, click on file and connection settings and untick the USB connection.(Very Important)
6. Connect the phone to the USB and turn the phone into bootloader mode (Camera & Power and Soft reset)
7. Run RomupgradeUt from c:\imate folder
7. The upgrade wizard will start, go through a few checks and proceed with the upgrade (normally you would eventually come up with the country ID error)
8. The process should then go through 3 stages which should last about 15 - 20 minutes.
9. Lastly do a soft reset and you should see your MDA German compact with a new WWE (WorldWide English) ROM
10. In ActiveSync, click on file and connection settings and tick the USB connection so that you can see the device for ActiveSync. Plug in USB and perform yor sync and start the process of moving your data and programs across.
I do hope this helps!
PS I was think of compiling a short illustrated guide taking a lead from some Spanish posts on this matter, let me know what you think.
Excellent! Thanks so much - now have an english MDA!!! And I like the update better too! Definitely like the new color of the number pad
Had a little problem getting to USB mode when I did a hard boot... had to do it a second time after it was already connected and hold the reset for longer... but otherwise all was perfectly clear.
Thanks again!
I love you people
Oh Man, excellent instructions, excellent file, excellent, excellent. I have a T-mobile MDA compact with a Chinese Version of the Pocket PC. downloaded the Jam ROM, installed it. work like a charm. Thanks for the advice, instruction and files.
Hi,
I just went into ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Magician/ and it is empty? has it been moved as I would like to follow the proceedure and update my MDA as well.
Many Thanks
The ftp gets re-organised from what I have seen
Goto the ftp site Magician folder, shipped roms folder
Download rom of choice preferably the latest WWE revision, ensure you have the MAUpgradeUT tool this will ignore the country ID error.
And follow the standard install instructions in the previous posts
Have fun
German to English Rom
Many Thanks, but one question I have seen in other strings that the ROM is 250Mg this one is a lot smaller?
German to English for MDA
OK Fantastic, I now found the ROM followed the instructions above and now have a great English device
Thanks to all that helped me....
PLEASE HELP (FAILURE DURING INSTALATION OF NEW ENGLISH ROM)
Please somenone help me!
A try according to your manuals to change rom from german to english and during the instalallation the blue screen on my computer appeared and it restarted.. My MDA has only tvo words on its display: above Usp and bellow v1.02 . It doesnt work... How can I now finish installation, bescause actvS can not connect phone with my computer... It looks like it's dead...please help...
Don't worry, you in bootloader now. Just run the maupgradeut_noid.exe & the upgrade will start. Might be that you need to uncheck the usb connection allowed in Act.Sync. You're Magician is far from dead in surely you can fix it either with a shipped or with the maupgradeut_noid or with sd flash.
So just relax & restart your executable.
Cheers, M
Hi guys!
Somebody tried to change language (as he told me) on MDA T-Mobile Compact (PM10A) and during the process it was disconnected. Resault - it doesn't power on and only when it's connected to computer there is only "USB v1.00" on the screen.
I downloaded these files:
HTC Magician ROM Update 13 - 39.5 Mb
MagicianRadio 1.13.00 - 1.17 Mb
but when I flash MDA T-Mobile Compact I always get error mesage "Error 114: Radio Rom Update Error".
I guess it's only UPDATE files and I need ...some... basic or... full flash!? I don't know how it refers to. So if anybody have these files please post them.
Or explain to me what files I must to have for revive PPC
Thank You
Is your phone sim locked? If yes, search for threads discussing the matter. Likewise search and read through the tutorials on how to perform ROM upgrades.
