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?

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.

Change from JP to EN for use in Japan?

Just went to the Softbank store (formerly Vodafone Japan) and saw the X01HT (Hermes). It looks great, but it is WM5 in Japanese. I have read a few posts about needing a new ROM to change languages. Is this something I could realistically consider?
For all you experts, will any of the existing (cooked, baked, whatever) English ROMs work on the Softbank version of the HTC hermes, and still have the device function as a mobile phone in Japan?
If yes, then I will pour through the site some more to figure out the details.
TIA

Read Upgrading FAQ #1 on the hermes wiki, it answers your question:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeFAQ
Then download any english rom for the Hermes from here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
And read upgrading FAQ #5 if your device has a non-english keyboard.

According to some Japanese people who bought SoftBank X01HT, it has special protection that avoid booting without effective SoftBank SIM card, and uses new access point setting for flatrate internet connection.
Worse than all, it CANNOT unlock with imei-check.co.uk or any existing unlock solution!
I guess all settings may be contained as CAB file in Extended_ROM, however still I never confirm and get it yet, since I have no plan to buy X01HT (I already have another Hermes).
If anybody who have X01HT read here, please upload the contents of Extended_ROM into ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]/Hermes/
So as of now, I DON'T recommend to update (change) Japanese to English ROM, until more information about X01HT are collected, especially how to restore connection setting and bypass SIM-absent protection.
FYI... the "PC Site Direct" of SoftBank is Japan's first real flatrate internet for 3G mobile without WAP proxy.
You can use Skype or video streaming unlimitedly, however it blocked SSL and some TCP ports (not confirmed all ports yet), so you cannot use Direct Push and wireless ActiveSync with Exchange Server (SoftBank said they will support Direct Push in near future, however...).

Thanks for your warning. But I'm not sure if my situation is the same. I want to use the X01HT with a Softbank SIM card and EN menus. Will installing Extended ROMs for English work with me in that situation?

Quick answer is no. You cannot change the ROM of X01HT yet. Wait until someone finds the way.

Please Excuse my Ignorance, but HOW do you flash a ROM?

Hi, I have been reading all about upgrading Extended ROMs for the last hour, I have downloaded JASJAM_WWE_1.20.305.3_1.20.305.104_1.07.03.10_ship and am ready to flash my unlocked X01HT, but I can't figure out how to actually do it?
Is it done in ActiveSync? Because my version is in Japanese and nothing shows up on my computer. If there is a separate utility, please point me in the right direction. There isn't a readme in my ROM file.
TIA

your comment says that you do not know what you are doing... upgrading the ext rom and burning a rom are totally different things.
anyway, i suppose you wanna burn another rom. rom files are usually archived. just uncompress the archived file to get all necessary files. then, run ROMUpgradeUt.exe and follow the instruction.
if you do not understand the instruction completely, you might better consider giving yourself a second thought before you make it a brick... softbank might charge you the full price of the unit (85,000 yen?) for repair or exchange in the worst case. just a kind warning...
i recommend you read wiki well until you understand basics... good luck.

Now that's a reply I can use. My mistake was assuming that the Extended ROMs includes the ROM, but it turns out it's the other way around. Now that I downloaded the ROM, all is clear.

qtotter, thanks for your help. I am now seeing English on my X01HT!! But there are a few more outstanding issues I need to address, which I will ask here, and then continue to search for an answer:
Q: Activesync on my desktop is still in Japanese. Anyway to convert that to English?
I'm basically following the steps dandare123 and you outlined to switch to English. see the post
Q: It's not clear if you let the iMate extended ROMs install or not. I did. Then I moved the Softbank extended ROMs to the extended ROM folder and hit 'autorun'. Both times the installer seemed to hang at the very end, and I just reset. the Hermes seemed to be working, but I don't know if I am missing anything important. Thoughts?
Q: I installed Skype and made a skype call. Worked fine, except the output went to the speakerphone and I couldn't switch to either the earpiece or the bluetooth headset paired in headset mode.
Q: speaking of bluetooth, I can pair my headset, but can't seem to get audio onto it. I haven't tried just the phone to the bluetooth headset, but should I be able to get the system audio onto the headset?
Many thanks in advance.

autorun is used when you hard-rest the device. if you want to use softbank ext rom, delete everything in the ext rom, copy all the files from softbank ext rom files to the ext rom, and perform hard-reset. (although i don't understand why you need softbank ext rom...)

i would say bt is so complex... anyway, check what you called "my headset" and its supporting profiles. if it supports A2DP, you can use it as stereo audio headset. if not, it is a headset you can use as a mobilephone speaker and a microphone.
btw, hermes A2DP is great! it was much better than i expected. i can use a bt headphone unit i bought for my ipod!!
http://www.mobilecast.co.jp/en/products/handsfree_earfone/mlinkr_series/index.html
thou, i could not use it with htc universal (qtek9000.)

qtotter, you have been so helpful. I'm going to search for a new BT headset with AD2P profile for skype.
So my one remaining problem is that I can't connect to Softbank's 3G network. I was following the instructions as detailed by dandare123 in a separate post, link above. I just repeated everything in the following order:
- flashed the with (iMate) JASJAM_WWE_1.20.305.3_1.20.305.104_1.07.03.10_ship
- reset before the iMate ExtendedROMs were installed (because it hung the first time)
- installed the it4Cat tweaker to unhide the /Extended_ROM folder
- copied the Softbank ExtendedROMs over to the /ExtendedROM folder
- and 'autoran' the Softbank ExtendedROMs to a successful completion.
This time, I noticed that the softbank connection was automatically installed, with the APN=open.softbank.ne.jp. I'm assuming that the password is correct.
But when I try to access the internet via Softbank, I get "Cannot Connect for an unknown reason..."
Any ideas? should I run the iMate Extended ROMs?
TIA.

Check. It's set to PAP. Is there any chance one of the iMate ExtendedROMs needs to be installed? That seems like it's the only thing that I may have done different from dandare123.
everything else seems to be working fine.

that's funny...
ext roms include bug fixes, career settings, and apps provided by careers.
i don't think ext rom has something to do with the internet connection in your case since i have been using the open softbank internet access without installing anything from the ext rom.
i manually set up an connection myself, and it works with open softbank perfectly.
if it does not work out on your phone, there could two possible reasons; a) your connection setting is not correct or b) there could be a signal issue in your area.

I just created the following connection manually
APN：open.softbank.ne.jp
ID：open
PASSWD：o z R t 8 n 2 9 R a 1 P s d 0 7
still no go. One thing I notice is that I am on the 'UMTS Vodafone' network and instead of 3G I see a 'U' at the top. Is that correct?

WIFI UH OH (driver is not loaded)

I was updating my freinds dash, he had official rom on it, i went to rose rom v1.7a and also kavana final and some others and then i went back to latest t-mobile official rom 1.16 something, and all of them now say "drivers is not loaded" when you go to look at the wifi status, I loaded the WM2005 SDIO wifi drivers cab and also got a fresh copy of wifiinit.exe in the windows folder and then put the shortcut to it in the startup folder....i now have it running the rose v1.7a, i am lost, i'm on the phone now with a clueless pda expert at t-mobile.

still no solution to this problem, my friend might have to reflash back to original and do warranty exchange...i don't know what went wrong...he needs a new phone anyways...or maybe get the updated dash

The drivers are included in every ROM I have ever flashed, loading them comes from the .lnk file. So unless you are getting an error that the drivers do not exist or have failed they are their. It is possible your .lnk file is pointing to the wrong location

why would you move the exe? How did you make a shortcut if you moved the exe? The G1 sux (sorry to those that think otherwise but it does). You only get a refurb if you dont ask for a new replacement. I always get new, after all I bought a new device not a refurb didnt I?
Anyway, it sounds like you created a bad shortcut for wifi and thats your issue

Strange, the problem was due to a defective battery! Seems that when I try to switch on WIFI and SD, the battery level goes down in a way that the OS does not load the drivers. Charged the battery to 100%, and rebooted, everything works normally.

if you have a drivers problem, should try with this...i had the same in my dash...."drivers not loaded"...i put this files on the phone and wifi works again.

Please help
I just got my dash. I upgraded it to the kavanna but then i wanted to give the vanilla version a try since i needed a cleaner version it had a picture of the tmobile shadow but i thought it would be ok since the folder tittle said excalibur. It gave me and error at 3 % saying that the iimage was the incorrect size. Then it started up with kavanna but there was no wifi option. Then i downgraded to wm6 standard but my wifi wont start. When i check the settings it tells me that the driver is not loaded. Ive been looking around in this forum for 2 days. All i see is people saying that this topic has been covered already. I tried the wininit.ink and exe thing and no success. I hard reseted and nothing. I tried different roms and the official tmobile but nothing seems to work. Is there a way to start from scratch???i just want to stick with the official tmobile rom. Please help meee.
Im running vista ultimate
the official tmobile rom latest version

Hello, I am stuck with this issue. I tried several roms and uspl but nothing happens. I installed 6.0, 6.1 and 6.5 rom versions, no wifi.

[Q] No connection in Android with new build

Android was working perfectly ok with a 3G connection, but the new build isn't connecting. Any help? I didn't see anything in the FAQ.
I uninstalled the CAB from WinMo and deleted excess files off the microsd card.
Any idea on what's going on?

Is the force cdma option enabled in your startup? This only applies if you are on a CDMA carrier, obviously.
Also, don't use MGJDroidUtil... it has been known to screw up the startup.txt, I thought they were updating it tho... Haven't heard anything about it so just stay away from it...

Thanks for the tip regarding not using the launcher. I have noticed that startup.txt getting corrupted.
The force CDMA is enabled in my startup. I am on Sprint.

same....
I have the same problem. Force CDMA is checked. The BLAZN and default releases were my first attempt at this when audio support was added. Both of those tested and worked as expected. So that's two of us so far.
BTW I told myself I'd donate once some great minds got audio working. Is it best to donate on the main page or to any other specific party?

To both of you... you may want to format & start over. lip008, you said "force cdma is checked" - that sounds like you're using MGJDroidUtil, because the startup.txt is a text file... you have to make sure the force cdma command is in the cmdline section.
Oh and for donations, I'd say the general XDAndroid Donation page is sufficient

I'm on GSM (T-Mobile), and I had the same issue (not the BLAZN build, the regular one)

Ok, how about APN settings? sukru, others, have you checked those?
Honestly I haven't had to add the APN manually for several builds, but maybe there's a regression in the new build.
As always, make sure your rootfs, zImage/modules are up to date.

Heres the solution if you are on sprint
Boot into windows mobile and connect to pc so you can access the files in the andboot folder on your sd card. .
or (the purpose of this is so you can edit your STARTUP.TXT using notepad)
You can take out your SD CARD and put it in a card reader and do this too.. as long as you are in windows mobile..
DO NOT DO THIS IN ANDROID..
Once you get access to the SD CARD files.. go into the ANDBOOT folder..
locate STARTUP.TXT and edit it with notepad
locate the long line of commands that starts with "Set cmdline"....
read the entire line and somewhere in the middle you will find a part that says..
force_cdma=0 (remove this part only)
and make sure you have this at the end.... htc_hw.force_cdma=1
NEXT: SAVE YOUR FILE.. AND HERES THE IMPORTANT PART..
***** BOOT WITH HARET.EXE***** NOT WITH THE MGJDroidUtil program...
THIS WORKED FOR ME.. and if any of the mods here want to add to this.. please feel free to clarify..

In lamens terms... On cdma network sprint only
THERE IS A CORRUPT ENTRY IN THE STARTUP.TXT that needs to be removed..
EDIT this entry using notepad while not booted up in android.
the entry needs to be removed mentioned above..
DO NOT USE: MGJDroidUtil to start android.. USE FILE EXPLORER.. AND start
HARET.EXE..
hope this helps..
MINE READS AS FOLLOWS:
set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msmts_calib=0x9f.0x39a.0x35c.0x78 7x00.a11=500 msmvkeyb_toggle=off pmem.extra=1 gsensor_axis=2,1,3 pm.sleep_mode=2 acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=716800 rel_path=andboot hw3d.force=1 physkeyboard=rhod400 htc_hw.force_cdma=1 "

lancevs, I appreciate then enthusiasm, but I don't think that would have any effect on GSM guys.
However, using MGJDroidUtil can still screw up anybody's startup.txt, regardless of the type of phone/radio... so he is correct in that fact:
DON'T USE MGJDROIDUTIL.EXE!!!!
Edit - didn't even think about it but sukru - do you have this force_cdma statement set to 1? For us CDMA guys it's required, but it probably will break you GSM guys if it is enabled... So check that out.

Yes for clarification
MY POST SAYS " FOR SPRINT USERS ONLY" at the TITLE...
GSM users, this does not apply..
I am on sprint and spent a good part of yesterday trying to figure out why i had no service.. I am on SPRINT which is a CDMA network..

Will check again tonight. Android was getting better each time, then it suddenly went down for me.

Hey guys. I had been running an early August (pre sound) release of Blazn, and everything had been fine. Today I decided to upgrade to get sound and 3D support, and every time I boot into Android it shows no signal, and shows I'm in airplane mode, and it will not let me turn the radio on.
I'm using a Sprint TP2, and I followed the instructions for earlier in the thread, but still no go.
Here's the line from my config file:
Code:
lcd.density=240 msmts_calib=0x9f.0x39a.0x35c.0x78 msmvkeyb_toggle=off pmem.extra=1 gsensor_axis=2,1,3 pm.sleep_mode=2 acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=716800 hw3d.force=1 physkeyboard=rhod400 htc_hw.force_cdma=1
Is there something wrong in it? I am launching Haret directly from TotalCommander File Explorer. Same problem if I use the config/startup utility.
Also, to install the latest version, I deleted the andboot and android folders on my SD card, then installed via cab.

That line looks correct, perhaps you should post your entire startup.txt.
Or just start with a clean build - wipe everything Android related and do a fresh install. The new startup utility is pretty slick, just be sure you check force cdma in the advanced section.

Seems to be random. About 30% of the time it will work, the other 70% of the time "no service" and no way to turn on the radio.

Well, perhaps you shouldn't use the update utility at all. It has been updated so it shouldn't corrupt the startup.txt, but I had issues with it... so personally I prefer to just use haret & modify the startup.txt manually.

I am launching Haret directly, see OG post.

Start with a clean build. Don't touch the startup utility, because you said you had previously. It's been known to corrupt the startup.txt, even these new builds I had my startup.txt go to 0 bytes.

hi I am having the same problems cant get android to connect with sprint on the tp2. I am no expert but have become very good at using windows mobile as a user not a developer so all i know is i downloaded a cab file that was haret version 9 28 it came with a little icon labeled android project when i launch it i get to a screen that lets me make some advanced setting and check for updates before and choose my phone model. It says aka sovereinty at the bottom. I have tried to boot without forcing cdma and it does not connect and when i choose force cdma it seems likes its kinda connecting but keeps getting a error message and then i force close and it automatically tries again. If i boot wiithout force cdma the i can connect via wifi but that works but seems to also disconnect after a few minutes, though that is not my concern for now. I tried with the sim and without. and have updated twice so i am know on 10 4. anybody that get help would be appreciated. I love my tp2 with windows mobile but am curuios to play with android being that sprint wont let me unless i change my plan and make me pay double. not interested because my tp2 works great now and has everything i need.
thanks

1) do not overclock
2) do not tamper with the phone immediately after boot, leave it alone for a while (30 secs, 1 min)
3) do not fill the desktop with widgets, they eat lots of resources
If none of these works, while still NOT overclocking, delete data.img file inside andboot folder and start from scratch.
Cheers.

Pretty strange, since I have a Sprint TP2 and Wifi works perfectly.
You might want to start by renaming your data.img to something else to back it up, and then starting up. If after you boot Wifi works, then you know something is messed up in your data.img. Otherwise, you know it's something else and you don't need to wipe out your data.img.

Wifi can also easily get bungled if you update your kernel and don't update your modules file.
The kernel (zImage) and modules (modules-xxxx.tar.gz) go hand-in-hand, and they MUST be updated together.

1. Formatted SD Card with HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool
2. Deleted exchange inbox folder in SD Card (I have no idea why the formatting does not wipe it clean)
3. copied ProjectAndroid2.2Froyo.112210.cab to root of SD Card
4. Ran cab from explorer
Ran ProjectAndroid from WM
Ran Update
RHOD400
Cdma x
HW3D X
N AM DIAL X
Getting the following message:
Unable to scan for networks
WPA Wifi is on in WM
I renamed the data.img file... still does not work

Could you please post the link to the build you used? I used

That is the one I use on my sprint tp2. Works awesome. I can even wifi tether. Did you download the one at the bottom of the page from Nov. 22?
Edit: sorry. just saw you gave that info. I have never tried that N american dialer. not sure what it does. do you still get the same error when you try to turn on wifi in settings?

I hard booted my TP2 to factory settings, used the .rar files instead of the .cab...
getting the same message "Unable to scan for networks".
Yes, I am getting the same error when I try to turn on wifi in settings.
The instructions in xda is a bit misleading for .rar
The steps say
1. Unzip
2. Copy contents of .Rar to the ROOT of your SD card
When you unzip, the content is in folder "XDAndroid2.2Froyo.112210" sub-folder "XDAndroid2.2Froyo.XXxxXX"
The instruction should say, "Copy contents of "XDAndroid2.2Froyo.XXxxXX" to the root of SD card.
Please correct me if I am wrong. In any case, my wifi still does not work.

Have you tried updating manually? Also, you should get an 'andboot' folder if you go into that XXxxXX folder.
I also found a mistake with Reef's build... I asked him to update it. Basically he's not using a signed FRX03 image... I sent him a new bundle, doesn't look like he's updated it yet tho...
What I'd recommend in the meantime is to update this build manually. Download a new system.ext2, new kernel (zImage/modules - they go together!) and rootfs.
You can find all of those updates at http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Main_Page

Downloaded the latest files individually. Updated the build manually by replacing the system.ext2, zImage/modules and rootfs. Modified the startup.txt to force cdma, keyboard to rhod400 and clock speed to 540672... getting the same error "Unable to scan for networks" error.
