Corrupt Charmer (PM200) upgrade help

Guys, my phone is dead and I need a little help please.
I have a T-Mobile MDA Compact II and have mistakenly (why it worked I don't know) 'updated' it with a Prophet firmware release. This progressed as I expected but was I since discovered completely wrong. My phone now shows a black screen with Dopod logo on boot and then hangs.
I have since found this site (looks good btw!) and subsequently the ftp area. I've downloaded the correct firmware for my phone, reset into the three colour screen and kicked off the Romupdater for the proper version I believe to be for my phone. With the 2 releases from ftp (one in that directory appears to be only half a zip file) they appear to be uploading but there is no change with the black screen problem.
I'm now stuck and am hunting for options. I'm more than happy to help myself but can someone explain what I need to do and start me on my way to fixing this.
All because it hangs from time to time when I run up too many apps on it.
Thanks in advance
Andy

Tell us what ROM you are using and which software you are using to perform your ROM update.
Anyway, it is weird that the Prophet ROM doesn't work on your phone. Keep this low tone, but I've done a Prophet ROM flash on my Charmer before. Everthing works well except the camera, that's why I flashed it back to the original ROM. I won't advise others to do so, there seems to be a few 'fatal' cases. I'm not sure, probably because it is compatible with the earlier Prophet version.
UPDATE: Nevermind, you seems to have the information. Good if you can stick to the same threat to avoid confusion. To others, please refer to

At work and I've left the phone at home but I believe it was something like 2.3.15 (i.e. upgrade from v1 to v2)

Correction, it's SPL 2.15, IPL 1.12.
I have seen a post on Hermes bootloader access over USB using Mtty and now have access to the cmd> Can someone help me perform a bootloader based ROM downgrade to known working or deleting the image that is there?

Have now found the awizard utility, which file type does awizard need to be fed via the ROM directory?
Yes I'm a newbie at this and shouldn't have messed with the ROM update but I'm an I.T. guys by trade so if you can feed me the info I need I should be able to follow instructions
Phone is still 'dead' though.

It needs
XXX-OS.nba
XXX-Radio.nba
XXX-ExtROM (directory wit Ext Rom stuff)
You ought to get these from the FTP. I've myself uploaded a Charmer original UK ROM T-mobile, it should be still there is no one messed with it.

Hmm, I've missed something then. I put the .nba files into the ROM directory and then run awizard and hit w. Where I would expect to see a list of files with numbers there isn't any.
What I miss?

the dir structure of the aWizard looks like the attached, where you have the ROMs under the "ROM" dir and Ext ROM. Where the aWizard directory has the aWizard.cmd file.

Can someone provide a split up (i.e. seperated nbf files) for the Charmer or the correct memory addresses to punch into nb2nbf to create my own?
The images seem to have been removed from the FTP site and I'm in position to de-brick my phone!

[Q]help.. installing Broken Sword !!

Hi,
I've played the demo on my HD. It worked (only in VGA resolution) and I liked it. So I purchased the full game from Atstraware, but the installation always fails. I sent an email to Atstraware a week ago but got no answer from them.
This was part of my email:
...
I really liked the game after playing the demo. I downloaded the full version of the game from the link provided in the email. However, the installation always fails. Here is what I did:
- I followed the link in the email and downloaded the 109 MB file (brokensword1wm5-ppc-v1-00-wm5-full.exe)
- installed it while the device is connect to the PC through ActiveSync (There was more than 250 MB free space)
- I noticed the free space went about 100 MB less.
- then this error appeared on my device "Installation of Astraware Broken Sword was unsuccessful" and this should be normal as it was said in the instructions.
- so I tried to find the file using the file manager, but couldn't find Astraware Broken Sword.Cab . I tried installing it several times but no use.
- then I noticed that after the error appears the free space returns to its original space before installing. Which obviously means that the file is being deleted after the error message.
- I even tried extracting the cab file from the downloaded exe file. I got brokensword1.PPC_2577.WM5.CAB extracted from the exe file. Then I transfered it to my device, and tried to install it but I got another error "Installation of brokensword1.PPC_2577.WM5.CAB was unsuccessful."
My device is HTC Touch HD Windows Mobile 6.1
My Pocket PC owner name is: XX
My registration code for this game is: xxxxxxx
What am I doing wrong? Could you please assist me in solving this issue?
Thank you,

Is there any way I can get it to work?
I know this is not the right place, but it is the only place I'm sure I can get help from.

always sux when full version of applications does not work
i would re-send this mail to support once a day until you get a reply
if astraware has a forum; register and post there as well

Thanks. It appears that there is a forum for Broken Sword game in the Astraware forum, but it has been inactive for 3 months. I posted my problem there anyway as you suggested. Hopefully, I will get an answer.
But if you guys could help, I would really appreciate it!

Hello
The file name said xxxx.WM5.CAB
Blackstone is WM 6.1 - may this be the problem?
usually programs for WM 5 dont work on blackstone as I have noticed while installing something with WM5 in the name...
Try to check whether there is a version for WM 6.1..
Or maybe I am worng just an opinion...

Have you tried with SCUMMVM ?

OP said the trial worked. So it's a bit odd that the full version doesn't.

I agree try it in scummVM. I play all the classics through it. Its brilliant.

i have downloaded the demo and windows installer will not instal it, when i go to where the cab is, with me program files and Astraware then Broken Sword Shadow of the Templars Demo for Pocket PC and copy the cab to my HD and soft reset when i could install the demo...
I don't know what can help you problem

Use the WVGA FIX 1.3 in order to set your screen's analysis to 640x480 and then i think it will work just fine

Can't Find Download lokiwiz02b

I’m attempting to upgrade my (Cingular) HTC8125 G3 Wizard to Windows Mobile 6.0 and ran into a problem which I can’t seem to find that anyone else has encountered.
Months ago (maybe even a year or 2 ago – I don’t remember) I was about to do the upgrade to WM6 but didn’t really get around to doing so. All I did then was download and store on my PC a couple of files including /lokiwiz03a.zip. When I tried to use that file after following the script and having everything go perfectly up to that point I ran into the problem of not finding /lokiwiz.bat in the unzipped archive. The only .bat files I have are /LokiwizMSL.bat and, /EnableRapi.bat (in the /UTIL subdirectory). LokiwizMSL.bat seemed to run perfectly and even reported a Simlock Code but at the end I don’t think it actually unlocked anything except RAPI.
So, I went out into the internet wilderness and found and downloaded /lokiwiz.bat - but when running that didn't solve the problem I took a closer look at the .bat file alongside my lokiwiz archive and found I was also missing two /UTIL files: /pdocwrite.exe & /preboot.exe
Obviously there's a problem with the “03” version I have and I tried to download Lokiwiz02b.zip (826.1KB) from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249474 but every time I clicked on the link I got a blank screen.
Right now I’m sitting with a phone that isn’t quite a brick but sadly short of its potential. Please advise urgent!!!!!!!!!!!
Many thanks,
George

[Q] playstation emulators help

Hi I hope i put this in the right thread
I been trying to get playstation emulators working but failing. tried psx4droid and fpfe and i cant seem to get them working i dont know if its the setting up of it or my roms. if anyone has any of these working can you please explain how you got them to work and what roms you are using and how you got them

Psx4droid doesn't work on the GS2 yet. But Fpse should be working if you find the correct bios for it (without it, it will not work). And don't ask for roms here, it's forbidden (I think, so try google )
With my GS2 and Fpse, i've been able to run Chrono Cross, Legend of Legaia, Suikoden 2 and Grandia ^^

I can confirm that fpse works like a beaut! You just need the correct BIOS (I managed to find it on the Internet).
Does fpse start and moan about BIOSes? Or does it refuse to start?
EDIT: Details of the one I have. It should work if you get this one.
MD5: 924e392ed05558ffdb115408c263dccf
Name: SCPH1001.bin

Yeah psxdroid doesn't work on the sgs2 at the moment. It just blackscreens after selecting an iso. Fpse works fine. Had some sound issues with FF7 but playing around with the settings fixed it.

When Fpse starts, it asks for one bios and if you don't select a bios and pick a rom, it start but close directly.. if I remember correctly.
The bios you have is the one recommended

see i did that i checked bios and it said i already have recommended bios. try to run a rom and it goes black then force close?

the roms i got are rar files. which dont get seen so i extracted them and i got a bin and cue file. tried them didnt work so i converted the rar file to iso and still not worked?

What version of Fpse do you use ?
Once you installed the apk and selected the BIOS, try restarting it before choosing a game. If you have a .rar, unzip it and select the .bin file in the case of bin/cue and iso if it is an iso ^^

hey thanks people. first thing it was telling me recommended bios i thought it was telling me i had the bios already lol secondley the roms i had where **** so iv got my roms from a different place now and they working. crash bandicoot set and grand torrismo work fine

one of my games thomb raider is in mdf n mds, how can i make these into bin and cue? im on windows 7 so just putting .bin in the name doesnt change it

this is my problem and desperately need an answer as well

My Tekken rip is mdf and it plays fine, but my Tekken disc is in pristine condition - the playstation emulators tend to be a bit fussy about the rips. I suggest you try cleaning your disc and re-ripping it (or if your CD drive is borked download another backup of your discs).

Did you solve the problem ?
If you did not:
go to folder where you saved app, ---> huawei_watch_face_maker-win32-ia32_v066b\packager, delete Output folder and com.huawei.watchface file.
Also in root folder of app make Theme folder where you will save your work.
You should be good to go. Good luck.

Thank you for trying to help.
I'm getting a similar issue where the creation of the watch doesn't go through. Here is the result error :

The app still creates a file but when I upload it I get something that looks a bit like an old watch I tried to make (that worked but image sets were bit buggy).
Can someone help to understand ? For the record I tried re-extracting the full app, I tried deleting the files you talked about but nothing helps. I also tried launching the app as an admin.
See ya guys !

share your hfw file and not hwt. put in google drive and i try to solve.

Did you manage to fix this problem? I'm having the same one.

Hello, I have a problem:
when I transfer the watchface to the watch you only see the hands the image of the dial is black, I have procured in various ways and with various images but nothing to do, what am I wrong?
thank you

Hi
Great watchface maker. Previously used a similar one to create faces for Amazfit Bip so, after a wee refresher, I was able to create a nice face. Unfortunately, now that I've finished it, I can't get the damn thing to export to .hwt file, it's stuck on "wrapping up". I've been over it again and again and don't see any problems. Any ideas?
I've made sure not to have any "white spaces" or symbols in my program folder or target folder. I've even put both folders on root of C: drive and tried compatibilty mode and run in admin. I've even tried stripping out every widget except the background but I can't get it to compile the final file. Rage.

update: Tried it out on my old mother's ancient win7 laptop and it worked first time! weird, cos my pc is a beast.
Now, the only problem I've got is a rotating arm (for a battery guage) that refuses to budge from the centre of the face. Is there a limit on rotation widgets? I've got a steps target guage and hour-and-minutes hands on a small analogue clock. Tried removing the widget and building it from scratch - still get the same result.
