Guide to upgrading Universal with MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe

How to update your rom to the latest I-mate version (with push email) and Radio 1.09.0 using the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe method
1 – download the file “Universal_Upgrade_v1.30.68_radio_1.09.0.zip” from the ftp site (see bottom of post for details)
2 - double click the file and allow it to unpack into a folder
3 – right click on the active sync icon in your tasks tray on you pc (at the stage you should NOT have you universal plugged in)
4 – select connection setting then untick “allow USB connections”
5 – Now take your Universal and take out the SIM and MEMORY CARD
6 – Press light + power + reset with the phone on, this will place the universal into bootloader mode
7 – Connect your Universal via the USB cable to your computer directly i.e. not though a USB hub
8 – Now double click on the program called “MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe” (found in to folder from step 1) this will start the upgrade process, the first stage takes about 3 to 5 minutes to complete, you will then be presented with a screen showing a “Imate Jam” and some information about what you are upgrading to, don’t be worried if this screen does not show you the version numbers you have at present that is normal.
9 – Now continue with the process by clicking upgrade/next
10 – After sometime (about 20 minutes) you should be at the end screen tell you to unplug and reset you “jam” So now unplug your universal and reset it and that’s all there is to it!
Note that during the upgrade process you can follow the progress by also looking at your universal screen with a light source as the backlight will be off.
I hope this post helps someone as looking around the forum Im amazed by the amount of people asking “how do I upgrade my rom” or “I only get a “country id error” when trying to update”

No sure I understand the question however Ive updated before now with the sim card in however lots of people report that its important to remove both the memory & sim cards so Ive included it because its better to be safe than sorry

Thanks I'll play it sorry :/..

BTW do you have to use this NOID method if you have an IMATE too?

No you should be ok using the orginal package, however this way will still work

I installed the ROM but after the installation is finished and I reset the device I only get a blank screen.

Blank screen but do you have the USB or SERIAL written on the Screen?
Rat didn't mention in his post but it comes out in the last screen that it is supposed to be a HARD RESET which will bring about a menu where you have to press 0 (Zero) to ahrd reset the device. hope this helps

Yip, sorry, That's correct. I get the screen that says I have to press 0 to reset or X to exit.
If I press 0 the screen goes blank and stays like that.
I've installed the previous ROM now and it is working perfectly. It's just the new ROM on this page doesn't want to work on my Jasjar.

I downloaded it straight from the first post and it installed flawlessly...
Have you tried installing it from bootloader mode instead of direct update? And without SD card in the PDA? This might work.
BTW, I have returned to the older ROM.... advantages don't outweigh the disadvantages.
My phone keeps on hanging (for the 1st time ever after 5 months use and different ROMs) on the screen where it shows whose calling. I havent answered the call yet but it stops ringing. When i open the PDA it has ANSWER on the left softkey and pressing this doesn't do anything. Will wait for the release..
It is a lot faster thought (the test ROM)

Thanks for the info. I'm not gonna bother upgrading now. I'll wait for a decent ROM later.
Thanks m8

umm - stupid question I know.....
But what does this actually DO??
I understand that this will upgrade the radio stack and thus produce better reception etc - but what else will it do??
If I have an Orange M5000 will I still be able to use it on Orange's network?? Do i need to fill in any settings? Do I need to make notes of certain stuff beforehand? If so - what settings?
I assume this will totally rewrite the registry and what programs are on teh device - or will it??
I suppose a lot of this information is available on the forum - but tracking it down can take a lot of time for someone who's not necessarily that 'au fait' with the working of the device.

I also have an orange M5000 which I would like to get off Orange to use my Vodafone SIM - would installing this new ROM be the way to go ?

not if your phone is simlocked (or network locked). new rom is only the software.

Yeah, sorry
Just reading the other thread on this - sorry , am a relative newby.
It looks like MachineGod and Buzz are on the case though - and with their track record........

I wanted to confirm that Ratcom's file he linked to is good (not corrupt) and his method for upgrade works. Nice work, Ratcom.

Rhobuntu: Ubuntu 9.04 and Debian (test) UPDATE [19/09/2010]

Important - Read First!
First of all you must know that everything you do is on your own risk. Your device was not designed to run GNU/Linux or Android and that's why you shouldn't expect everything to be perfectly safe. If you don't want any troubles then simply don't tamper with your phone. On the other hand, installing Rhobuntu is probably less dangerous than installing alternative ROM's, because it doesn't touch your ROM and runs completely from the SD card. If something goes wrong and the system would hang up, you always can remove the battery and boot into Windows Mobile. Still, we can't guarantee you anything and we won't be liable for any damage that might happen to your device. If you don't accept this, don't install Rhobuntu.
At the moment two problems are known to occur when using Rhobuntu. They are, however, not Rhobuntu specific and may also occur when using Android.
1- After booting back into WinMo, you can't install or run unsigned apps. This problem probably has something to do with the way haret kicks WinMo out of the RAM. It also seems to occur only in combination with the use of Exchange Server. The only known solution at the moment is Hard Reset. Some users also reported that it can be fixed by using Visual Studio 2008. Check out this threads:
o Not digitally signed with a Trusted certificate/ Activesync keeps UNINSTALLING!
o Program... is not digitally signed with trusted certificate. HELP!
2- Since we still have no proper battery charge indicator working, you might not notice that your battery is completely drained. Deep discharge is, however, not good for batteries and may in some cases even damage them. Here is a thread dealing with this problem when running Android
o Android killed my USB connection, please help
The majority of Rhobuntu users doesn't face these problems, but just in case, you've been warned.

Pretty cool idea, keep us posted!

Definitely an awesome idea, and one I had been thinking about myself since my original Touch Pro days. An embedded version of Linux should run great on these devices. Hopefully momentum will grow surrounding this.

thats very interesting. any pictures of this running? maybe things can be pulled from android.

THANKS!!!! downloading now!

tried it on my Touch Pro 2 (AT&T Tilt2), No luck. Started to boot, Complained about /etc/init then poof reboot after 7 seconds. Am I missing something.

Did you change the mtype in the sartup script to the tilt2, the one i used is set for the rhod100, i hope that helps. Is anyone else's not working btw?

Help!
I extracted all the files on to a newly formatted 2GB card.
Ran haret and everything ran fine. Bit 'interesting' navigating round the screen but got there in the end.
However, since rebooting my phone back into WM I cannot run any unsigned programs such as haret that worked fine before.
The error says "The file blah cannot be opened either it is not signed with a trusted certificate..."
Any idea what's changed and how I can get my phone back to how it was?

I think something got corrupted/overwritten on my phone...
I cannot run any unsigned apps whether they are installed on the storage card or internal memory.
I cannot even install new apps! When I run the cab file, I get the usual "This program is from an unknown publisher..." and when I select yes for continue it immediately comes up with "Installation of blah was unsuccessful."
Time for a hard reset? I'd really prefer not to if anyone can suggest a better way of getting back to how it was.

try installing SdkCerts.cab
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240
the cab is included with the rhodium keymapper zip file. (keymapper app is worth installing as well )

sdkcerts won't install. It has the same problem as other cabs where it prompts to say the program is from an unknown publisher and when I tap Yes to continue it still fails with "Installation of SdkCerts.CAB was unsuccessful."

Tried booting it up on my Verizon TP2 and all it does is run haret and then freeze.

Thanks for putting this together, sebbo90. It boots nicely, and actually performs quite well on my Tilt2. I hope some of the developers take notice of this project and consider fixing the major usability issues like the front keys and the display calibration.

After the first boot I cant get the GUI to run anymore. Removing the directory from the SD and uploading a fresh copy fixes it for one boot only. After that it just hangs at command line.

EDIT: Do you think it will not boot for me since you all are using GSM and i am using a CDMA phone? Some settings may need to be changed i guess. I have been messing around but no luck.

I had this problem what i did to fix it was to was to do a full reformat on my sd card (not a quick one) this then helped and now it boots everytime. Hope this helps

If the mtype needs to be changed, what should it be instead of the default 2292, forgive my ignorance.
EDIT: must be a fluke, it booted now, did not change a thing. Re-extracted the ubuntu rar and shoved it back on the SD and booted. Great Job. All we need now is calibration to get started.

I got it working now. It was the directory structure I was using. I spent about 2 hours last night working on the calibration issue. If I could get that working it would be sweet. Tried a newer version of haret and tweaked the startup.txt a bit but the calibration still goes out of range.
On a brighter note, the calibration works fine when booting xdandroid with haret though it is a manual calibration there is hope anyway.

great work
great job dude. this was totally unexpected.
at this stage of development with such performance its looking like bright future for android on fathom. installed it...will check...
thankyou

Hello bro, i'm from india. I own lg fathom and i checked yours installing android on fathom. Plz could u explain it in brief and also mention minimum requirement of storage on storage card and the type of storage card. Plz mention it in detail. I tried to install it in first and it gave error "smd_alloc_v1: cid 47 does not exist". And at the second time the screen started flickering and hanged up there only. So plz tell me in detail. I have been waiting for long about this.

Hey ajit bhai, plz update the thread as and when u find any modifications.

Hey guys, after when switch on to android it takes around 15 minutes to get the signal and recognised and when u cal, the end button does not work so for that u have to press hold and then press end button and then it works. And it does not support messaging and internet also. I just thought to say the problems bcaz its my first time abt tweaking. So plz anybody finds any solution plz do let me knw. Thank u guys for ur advancement.

rvin42 thank u again for ur reply. Plz anybody found any changes for this. What i mean is that you guys know that some of the features are not working on when u port into android like microphone, no message support, no internet support although it shows operator name and also no speaker, bit flickering but you can follow rvin42's idea. So plz anybody do something. Try anything guys.

Hello el_venga, hey lg expo has same configuration as fathom, so plz if u find anything new or modification abt the android plz let us know man. Hey by the way if u need any help u can ask here.

It works for CDMA devices, and it getting fairly stable. There's still some work to be done before GSM folks can join the party. Patience.

Tim, it sounds like maybe you might be able to benefit from installing GenY dualboot. It will allow your phone to boot directly to the Android OS without you having to manually run Haret from inside WinMo each time. It loads partway into WinMo (just enough to get whatever files it needs to run) then gives you a boot screen where you can choose which OS or choose for it to automatically boot to either OS.

This is good advice. It's pretty good software, simple & to-the-point.
With that said, ACL (the developer who is mainly working on NAND development) is getting a GSM RHOD donated to him soon (I think he said it's in mail...) so once he hashes out the basics for GSM, it should apply to all GSM devices and they'll be able to join the party. So it won't be tomorrow by any means, but this is very good news for GSM users.
I'm going to close this thread, it has no business being in this section anyways.

I like many got this 2in1 at wal-mart and I live it. unfortunately I like many am not yet familiar with the new UEFI bootloader bios SOC stuff
heres what I do know and please correct me if im wrong. also please tell me if this 2 in 1 is and can be flashed the same as the asus t100
ok the Flexx11 has a bayntrail-t CR quad core processor 1.33-1.83ghz model Z3735F the t100 is3740
11.6" screen ips touchscreen at 1366x768 res
Efun is the corp and yifang vers.NX1106.1.02.008\139
THE BIOS IS YFG0315009112
it is a 32bit EFI bootloader
the reason I mention all of this is I have tried several times to dualboot androoid and each time ruined the computer and had to return it and I simply no longer wish to return it and love it to much to get something else
the first try the time began to lag and was unfixable for some reason the second time i somehow lost the keys booting and formatted wrong or something and the tablet bricked it would remain black with keyboard lit and no button combo could get it back no boot at all.
I am currently using AMIDUOS to run android kitkat and I love it but from what I understand it isnt compatible with win10 and really still isnt the same as the full android being on the tablet although really really close and awesome
but honestly I have been doing this stuff for years and now with this new windows secure boot and system on a chip stuff im lost

ever get anywhere with this?

I'm curious as well.
It has to be possible. I say that because I recently owned a ChuWi dual-boot device with the same Baytrail processor and SOC.
I wonder if it wouldn't be possible to take a system dump from one of the chuwi dualboot devices and flash it to the nextbook.

I'm also interested in doing this. It appears that the Nextbook Ares has the same hardware (minus 1GB RAM) but has Android. I contacted Nextbook to see if I could get a copy of the Ares Android firmware but was denied. If someone with the Ares could upload a backup that would be helpful.

I was finally able to get this working using this method...

So far I was able to get it to boot from a partition on the main drive as a test. In the process of installing to a secondary partition on my sd card. We'll see how it goes.
I wasnt able to get the boot menu that he shows but after going through the steps I then had an Android OS boot option in the bios boot menu. Pretty awesome! Runs great. Tried running Dead Trigger 2 as a test with full graphics. Ran perfectly.

I just bought one of these yesterday, and it shipped with Windows 10 Home 32-bit. I'm trying to install the 64-bit version but it won't boot from USB. Turns out it doesn't support 64-bit OSes. Where can I find recovery images for this? I messed up and now I don't have audio or touchscreen drivers.

64 bit processor?

Alright, I'm slightly confused now. Looking at system specs for mine it says it has an x64 based processor. Doesn't that mean it should be able to handle 64-bit OS? Even though it comes with 32-bit? If possible I would like to put 64-bit on it as well, but I'd like to be sure that that's not going to break it.

It just won't boot the USB. At all. Unless it's 32-bit.

I'm loving Remix OS on here with dual boot. Having some issues though and I really want this to work.
Main and I mean main issue is no sound at all, no rotation is next in line and Bluetooth isn't working. Everything else works great.
This is so awesome its like Android lollipop with windows desktop functionality. Now if I can get the bugs fixed I will be in android hog heaven.
GREAT FIND BRO!!!!! EXACTLY what I was looking for maybe even better than.
for those interested here is the XDA section for all things REMIX OS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/remix
By the way for those who may want to know I installed dual boot onto the hard drive it went with no issues.Here's some tips for flexx 11
1. I used a partition manager such as easy partition manager to partition the C: drive regardless of what the tutorial said. Couldn't use windows disk management. I deleted the recovery for an extra 5 gigs (make a backup if you do) I used about 19 gigs from the C: drive and made an E: NTFS.
2.Also do not use the remix files from that tutorial use the ones here from the main site http://www.jide.com/remixos-for-pc they are newer and the ones from the other post where incomplete. Also the newer ones on the site now include OTA updating which is totally awesome.
3. I'm hoping this will help someone..... After I was all finished I expected it to dual boot as any other dual boot restart and then i would see options for the OS's not the case here I got stuck on this I was using easy BCD and trying all sorts of stuff, once I looked at the tut a little closer I realized you don't need any of that. Once your all done do a restart and it will go back to windows as usual. Now go to settings, then recovery, then advanced startup and choose from devices I think its the second option on the left list. There you will find Android OS click that and it will take you to your dual boot options. Sounds a lot more complicated than it really is. But believe me once you know this your better off.
And that's all I've got please and I mean please post here with any fixes especially for sound and if you have questions I will try to help.
Thanks
PS: I AM GETTING OCASIONAL LOCK UPS, MEANING THE OS FREEZES AND I HAVE TO RESTART BY HOLDING POWER.

Im not sure if this is good news or not...
Using the methos outlined I was not able to get audio bluetooth autorotate and other things to work but after a bit of digging I found out that remix os has an image specifically for nextbook baaytrail (Our PC) here: http://www.jide.com/remixos/devices
click other upper left.....
I cannot find instructions to install this though and using the other install instructions from here fail because the only part of the file to replace is the system image.
I also attempted the other install methods and easy BCD does not work for this PC
So if anyone can help to install this file specifically for our computer as well as verify that it works and what works and how you installed would be great

OK this is really cool I have made headway sort of.
I have installed kit kat android-x86-4.4-r3.img using the Androidx86-Installv24-5800.exe installer and i have rotation, root and it works pretty good for the most part wifi works great so far no bluetooth, it freezes during shut down and the major issue as in most cases is the sound. Im not sure about the camera now that I think about but i will check and report back here.
I really want the sound working on this and I woud be bigtime happy this forum could be solved as far as im concerned
From what I understand there is a bug with baytrail and linux where the spp port is pointed automatically to the usb or something. but for the life of me after weeks of scouring the internet cannot find a laymens guide to a simple fix for this. I'm really not even sure there is one because I'm yet find a rock solid confirmation of a solution

Update: camera doesn't work either
So far the 4.4.3 port is the best. I just can't seem to find any help whatsoever so its looking like so close yet so far away. Its a pure shame that audio and a few other major bugs are the only things in the way of this being a fully working and easy dual boot method.

I have bought a nextbook flexx10 but am unable to install remix OS. I have followed all the steps highlighted before.
1. partitioned the drive with gparted to make a 10G NTFS drive
2. downloaded android x86 5.1.1 iso and remix iso from jide website.
3. used android installer and android 5.1.1 iso to install the image
4. used 7zip to uncompress the remix iso
5. then copied over the 4 necessary files from remix to the drive to the android drive
6. copied over grub.cfg
Now, I do see the entry for androidOS but when I select that, I just get a message at the center of my screen that says "AndroidOS boot failed" and a blue OK button in DOS like font. thats it.. I am interested in knowing if any additional BIOS settings needs to be tweaked.
furthermore, I have tried installing android x86 6.0 by formating the same partition as ext4. All proceeded well and i got to the last screen that said "Run android-x86 now" or reboot. I removed the USB and was able to get into android. (some missing functionality). But when i reboot into windows and try to boot into androis, I get the same message of Andoid boot failed..
Thus I need to know if there's some BIOS settings related to permissions or sorts that i'm missing.
thanks

Sorry for the late reply, use the installer and create a separate drive using C: like a D: or E: and get android 4.4 the .IMG that should work for you and the installer should do everything for you.
So use the uefi android installer after you partition a drive to load android 4.4 the uefi IMG
Its just going to piss you off though because there's no audio and seemingly no way to fix it, which is a crying shame ��
P.S. typically secure boot is off in the bios on this machine, but if by any chance you turned it on or the newer ones come that way make sure it is off or this will not work.

UEFI Settings
So I can get to a menu with 6 icons (2 rows and 3 columns) by running the "shutdown.exe /r /o" command and then going to Troubleshoot>Advanced Options>UEFI Firmware Settings and clicking restart. The problem is that when I get to this menu the touchscreen and keyboard do not work, and I can only move the highlighter up and down, not left and right. Hopefully one you guys have figured this out. I contacted the Nextbook support desk and they were no help at all.

Okay. So I was able to test this one of my co workers Nextbook and it seems like its a problem with mine.

This might be beneficial for us Flexx 11 users. It's a full port of Remix 2.0 to the Ares 8 with everything working except the camera rotation issue. Very promising. I've heard the hardware is similar. Working on attempting to install on mine. Anyone else tried it?

Hey guys,
NextBook Flexx 11, 64Gb, NXW116QC264, Windows 10
I'm really interested in trying to install Remix OS in Dual boot. However, in my trials, I goofed up my tablet. I found an image, but it turned out to be a Windows 8.1 image, and it wiped everything from my tablet. I had originally had Windows 10 on it.
Could someone perhaps be able to send me the recovery partition of their Nextbook; as long as they had Win10 installed. Maybe if I dump a Win10 recovery partition, I can do a repair on it and restore Win10 to the system.
I can't find the stock/factory rom for the Win10 version of the Flexx.
Thanks in advance,
Kori

Just to be clear...(and this goes for everyone wondering in the future) it was windows 10, from the factory??? Last i checked
they only shipped with windows 8.1 or android, depending on the model...If not and you put windows 10 on there, back when it was free, you just use the media creation tool from Microsoft to update windows 8.1 to Windows 10 (after restoring windows 8.1)... it can do this because most tablets have unchangeable hardware, so no cd key is required...it's like how your md5 hash verifies your downloaded files, Windows provides Microsoft with your hardwares md5 hash signature and if it is in the list, then it activates the pc/tablet... but, it only works if you got it free, not if you bought it... if you bought win10 then you will need your cd-key when you re-install, while the other steps are same as above... just note, that for the free upgrade there was NO cd-key, therefore in that instance, if it asked you for a key, you would leave it blank, which you can do in any case, and add your key in from Windows if needed...
And... as for the others having sound issues in Android, I read something about a reason for that having to do with something called an... 'audio stack', I think it was??? Not 100% sure what it meant, but basically, it is designed so the audio hardware only works in windows, I think... (so they can make more money, by making you buy the android tablet separately...)
hope this helps someone who stumbles upon this thread...

I realize this is a dead thread, but I had to chime in... I bought my NextBook Flexx 11 from Walmart 3 or 4 years ago and it shipped with Windows 10 Home, not Windows 8.1... However, IMHO, Windows 10 is a resource hog on this little device. I'm currently looking in to installing Linux...
