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 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.

Camera problem for a total noob

I get a force close every time I try to put the camera in sport mode. I did search for threads dealing with this problem and found some. The problem is that I don't understand most of the terminology. Would someone be nice enough to give me step by step instructions on how to fix this. It is really aggravating.

Its basically a good example of poor coding by Samsung.
along the lines of adding a new line of code in the middle of the old causing everything to shift up or down..
The fix(s)
You need to be rooted.
flash one of the roms that have the fix included(read the details for your selected rom)
or..
use the original fix (don't need to be rooted for this one)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970452
you would download the file, and flash it with odin. for the original.
pretty simple really.
All the roms have instructions on first page as does the "fix"
Since you are having problems with terminology ill walk the odin method
make sure you have the Samsung drivers installed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
download the camera fix . its a .tar file
download odin
extract odin
put your phone into download mode.
you do this by (from an off state) holding 1 on your physical keyboard and the power button at the same time.
open odin (click the "odin 3+v1.6.exe icon in the folder you extracted to)
connect your usb (you should see one of the com squares light up" mine is always on com 4")
click on "pda button" browse and set the camera fix .tar there
unclick where it says F.reset time
click start
let it run
your done
I am not the best at explanations. But i would like to see you get this fixed
I attached a zip of odin and the camera fix .tar for simplicity

Did it understand what tmspyder was telling you? If you did give him a thanks

Thanks for the info Tmspyder. I just got off a 12 hour shift and am exhausted. I think I got the gist of it but am going to get some sleep first, read it again, and then reread what you posted. I just want to be sure of what I'm doing so I don't turn my phone into a "brick".

you wont brick. one of the great things about the epic and odin.. it is a 1/1,000,000 shot at real damage

Ok, I followed the directions, but the phone did not reboot automatically. It still says downloading... What should I do?

NVM, pulled the battery, put it back into download mode, repeated the process and it worked fine. No clue why it didn't work the first time.

Storex Ezee'TAB901 root JB 4.1.1

hi,
After spending many time trying to root my storex tab 901 I bought in france (Already installed on 4.1.1 with google play), Iwas finnaly able to root it using adb and command line.
to do so:
- Download attached file
- Download from google SDK usb_adb_driver
- Go to your device parameters-> USB -> enable debbuging mode
- create a c:\root folder on your windows XP computer then Extract the zip file attached into it.
- Plugin your device to the computer, when prompted for driver, use google sdk USB_ADB_Driver
- When done, open a windows terminal command line
- type: c:
- type: cd \
- type: cd root
- type: cd rootkit
- type: go.cmd
If everything goes well, your tablet should reboot. you can try installing the free app from google store called "Root checker" to confirm your device is properly rooted.
Also, if you lost the original rom and live suite, here is the link to download the latest build from storex web site:
(I will post the link later when I find it)

JB 4.2.2
CAUTION: USE THIS ROM AS YOUR OWN RISK.......Be sure you have the official rom in case it is not working for you. It appears that even though you have the same tablet Reference, depending on when you buy it, hardware might be a bit different and most likely you will take the risk of having a unusable Touch screen or wifi...
I found out you can fully use your Ezee Tab 901 4.2.2
you can install rom from Manta MID 13.
You will be able to install the rom using Livesuite.
Gain:
- Android 4.2.2
- Root Access out of the box
- Play store installed.
Everything will be working
For the link type in google:
MID13 Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean - Manta Multimedia Info
select google link called: manta.info.pl
select the link catshare or 4shared.
Start live suite 1.7, select the download img file, do a format when prompted. You done.
When the tablet restart, go to the parameter icon, and change language to French or english
Procedure on the Ezee tab 901 with livesuit:
- completly turn off the tablet, unplug cable
- start livesuite and select the downloaded image file
- keep the VOL- button pressed and plug the usb cable
- without releasing the VOL- button press the Power button 6 times.
- You should hear windows sound saying a USB device has been plugged
- if windows request it, install the driver from Livesuitefolder\usbdriver
- Livesuite should automatically start the flashing process.
- when prompted, "Format device" press YEs.
- When it s 100% you tablet should reboot.
Done.
Note: I did not invent anything, thanks to the good work of MANTA team members. I just found out this rom works on my tablet out of the box.

Hi,
Thanks for sharing these tips. I'm gonna try to update to 4.2.2, hoping this is going to fix some problems with this tablet.
I've been looking a lot for information about how to update ezee tab 901, so you did definitely a great work !
edit : iflash went well, but touch screen is not responding anymore. Any idea of how to solve it ?
Thanks.

Hi,
did you try going into recovery mode and factory reset? (shutdown tabel completely and keep press on volume+key then press power button)
in the menu, using vol+/- scroll down to wipe factory reset and validate by pressing the power key.
Let me know how it goes.
btw, are you sure your tablet is a Ezee tab 901 and not 971?
Cheers

Hi,
Yes I've got 901 and not 971 (written on the back of the device). I tried factory reset , but still the same problem. However, I flashed again with the original rom, and then touch screen went functional again but the wifi switch is kinda "broken" : it's impossible to turn on wifi from the Settings menu.
I returned the tablet where I bought it, seems there's a sort of material problem with it :/

Im sorry to hear that, i dont think something is broken, i had the same issue with a memup tablet, even though it was a same reference, some model had different hardware, sonlike you after testing multiple rom i had only touch s creen and no wifi ( wifi switch went back to off when i tried to turn it on) or on other rom, i had working wifi but no touch screen.
I hope they will replace your device...

Fast custom ROM 4.2.2 by TOxico for Ezee tab 901
Guys,
I manage to find a very fast and usable rom for our tablet: (THanks to Toxico.) this rom will change your life.
All information and download are in the thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=42274265
It should basically work on any A13 device with livesuit (tested on my Ezee tab 901 and on my 704CET mem up)
This rom comes with no TS driver, but there is all explanation and download to install the needed driver.
note: you might loose the camera though. I encourage you to read the full thread before going further and flash your tablet.
If you want to know the driver used on your tablet, run a adb shell and type lsmod (You will have a list of loaded/used driver.)
Dont be scared, everything is written in the toxico's thread
My only advice, if you dont know how to use adb, do not try it, this is not that easy.
I hope this will help.
Best regards.
As usual do it at your own risk and even more: make sure you have the original rom... just in case

Hi, sorry i cant help you, it looks like the 971 is using a10 cpu, sôit can be different.
If you know what you are doing, u can try to backup your original firmware and test the solution i have provided from toxico in py post above. But there is no warranty it s going to work.
Any case, donnot forget google is your friend
Good luck

Unfornetly it seems google doens't like this tablet...
I'll see what I can do with some backups and all.
Thanks anyway!

How to update Android 4.3 on a Galaxy S3 Tmobile SGH-T999L that has been unlocked?

Hi there,
I´m new to the forum and I´m just a phone user. I´ve been reading different forums and messages and I think this is the correct one to post my question. If I´m wrong, please recommend me the appropriate forum if you know it . I must add that English is not my mother tongue and that I´m not familiar with terminology like flashing, mod, stock...
Having said that, here you have some background
I bought a Galaxy S3 Tmobile SGH T999L in the US in Jul 2014. I came back to my country, Spain, and as Tmobile doesn´t operate here I had to take it to a shop to unlock it and use with another supplier. The phone works reasonably well, though doesn´t totally benefit from 4G because the range of mobile frequencies used in Spain is different from the one in the US, with only partial coincidence. So it was my mistake to buy it there asuming that it would be 100% compatible here. But that´s not the issue. The issue is this:
I have recently downloaded several apps that informed me that because the O.S. is old (Android 4.3) I can´t benefit from some functionalities of the apps. .So I think I need to update to a higher version.
I have checked Tmobile US webpage where somebody asked the same question in a forum and they told him: "you flash a custome ROM (which we cannot discuss here, go to XDA developers if you are interested". And that´s why I´m here, because I have no idea of what that means, although I guess it might be related to deleting the content of the original ROM - and I suppose the O.S. is stored there- and substituting it by a higher O.S.
Below please find all technical data that I could find about my model, if this helps:
Model SGH-T999L
Base band version T999LUVUBOH1
Kernel version 3.0.31-2106417
[email protected] #1
Thu Aug 13 21:06:08 KST 2015
Compilation number JSS15J.T999LUVUBOH1
State of SE for Android
Enforcing
SEPF_SGH-T999L_4.3_0029

Hi jaddelc,
You can update to a newer version of Android by installing a custom ROM. One of the most popular custom ROMs is called LineageOS. The T999L is supported under LineageOS, so you can install it on your T999L.
In order to install LineageOS, you will need Odin, a custom recovery, a LineageOS ROM file, and a Google Apps package (if you want Google Apps). Please note that you will need a computer running Microsoft Windows to use Odin.
You might also need to install the Samsung Mobile USB drivers for your computer for Odin to work properly. I haven't personally needed these drivers on a computer running Windows 10, but I'll include the link for the drivers in case you need them.
Keeping this in mind, SGH-T999L is also known as d2ltetmo and sometimes d2tmo (for anything except modem files). Also, keep in mind that by following this, you are performing this at your own risk, your data will be erased, and your warranty will be void! Please back up your data beforehand and follow these directions carefully!
Downloads:
LineageOS downloads for d2tmo
Google Apps from The Open GApps Project
TWRP, a custom recovery, for d2tmo
Odin v3.11.2
Samsung Mobile USB Driver
Procedure
Download the latest version of LineageOS from the link above using your phone.
Do you want Google Apps? Google Apps includes the Google Play Store. If you want Google Apps, go to step 3. If you don't want Google Apps, go to step 4.
Go to The Open GApps Project page on your phone. Select the ARM platform and Android 7.1. For the variant, you have a few options. If you want to choose exactly what Google Apps you want to install, choose the aroma variant. This option, however, has the biggest file size, which may be a problem if you have limited data. Other good options are mini, nano, pico, or micro. The stock and full variants might not work with T999L because Samsung made the system partition too small. Don't choose tvstock; that option is only for Android TV devices.
Download the latest version of TWRP for d2tmo and Odin onto your computer.
Open Odin3_v3.11.2.exe and plug in your phone to your computer. Make sure no other Samsung devices are plugged into your computer. Wait a few moments. Something should appear in one of the boxes under ID:COM. If Odin doesn't show anything in one of the ID:COM boxes, you'll need to install the Samsung Mobile USB drivers before continuing.
In Odin, click on the AP button. A new file picker window will open. Find the TWRP file you download earlier, and double-click it.
Press the Start button in Odin. Once you've clicked start, don't unplug your phone! Wait until Odin says PASS. Your phone will restart. Unplug your phone from your computer.
Turn off your phone. Hold down the volume up, power, and home button keys at the same time until you see blue text at the top left of the screen that says "RECOVERY BOOTING". This step can be tricky when you're doing this for the first time. Click here for a video demonstration if you need help with this.
You should now be in TWRP. Tap Wipe, and slide the slider that says Swipe to Factory Reset. When it is finished, tap Back, then tap the back arrow button.
Tap Install. Tap Select Storage, and make sure Internal Storage is selected. Tap OK.
Scroll down and tap sdcard. Tap Download. You should find the Google Apps package and LineageOS ROM that you downloaded earlier here.
Tap the LineageOS file .zip. Tap Add more Zips. Tap the open_gapps package .zip.
Slide the slider that says Swipe to confirm Flash.
Once it is finished, tap Reboot System. Your phone should now boot into LineageOS.
Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions about this process.

Changing the Region on the galaxy active 2 including R830XXU1BSI9 update

Most old methods of changing the region on the samsung watches don't work anymore. Given their return policy I thought I bought expensive junk.

starts the csc selection but doesn't actually change the region.
TL;DR you need to install the combination firmware and edit two files
INFO: Netodin works fine in linux as well with wine since it works over the wifi
1. Start NetOdin3 click options and disable auto reboot
2. Click AP and select the combination firmware
3. Hold reboot button on the Samsung watch, when the reboot screen shows up press home multiple times to get into the boot menu
4. Jump to the Download (Wireless) and hold the boot button again to get into the Firmware download menu
5. Press the same button to more times to switch the watch to AP mode
6. Connect your wifi to the watch SM-R830-someid
7. In NetOdin3 press Start to flash the combination firmware
8. Click reset and now press CSC button
9. Select the CSC md5 and press start
10. When you reboot the device hold the boot button again until you enter the boot menu again
11. Select recovery and let the device restart
12. Enter settings -> About watch -> Software -> Tap software version until debug mode starts (you may need to restart your watch)
13. Connect watch to wifi
14. sdb connect <watchip>
15. sdb root on
16. sdb shell
17. backup active-customer.info: sdb pull /csa/csc/csc-active-customer.inf
18. backup prodcode.dat: sdb pull /csa/imei/prodcode.dat
19. edit /csa/csc/csc-active-customer.inf and replace csc code (I used vim and the XAR for the US version, https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/vi-editor-unix/ )
20. edit /csa/imei/prodcode.dat and replace last three characters to csc code you want (don't enter the csc selection after this it will reset it to the factory region)
21. reboot the device into recovery (i used /usr/bin/csc-util --reboot customer_change but i'm not sure it's necessary)
22. run netodin again and select AP, BL and CSC to flash stock
23. enjoy samsung pay if you have a US credit card (seems like you no longer need to install samsung pay apks on non samsung phone it's part of the wearables app)

A Beginner
Hi,
First of all I want to thank you guys for the grat work.
I want to say that I am actually a beginner or amature when it comes to what you are doing
The instructions are very clea. But I would really appreciate it if anybody describes what to do with more details, especially the codes of sdb. Just some more details
It would be great if you can upload a video "If possible"
1. What is the worst thing that might happen if I do something wrong? Can the watch be ruind? Can I fix it if it happens?
2. Where can I find the csc of my country "Sweden" I googled it and found like 5 or 6 different csc !! Is there any trusted source?
3. Is it appliable to R820??? the 44mm model? or do I need to do something different in my case??
Thanks in advance

Coming from the other thread to confirm this worked for me, thanks a ton! Didn't think it would be that simple with just editing two text files.. lol
For those who missed it(I did), some steps are missing where one has to repeatedly connect back to AP every time something has to be done in NetOdin.
Also if anyone is confused about the steps, it's pretty much the same process for all samsung watches so just search for it on youtube, it's there.
Out of curiosity, where did you get the firmware from?? @tb_

Hi ,
Thanks for your feedback,are the sdb thing code mandatory?on youtube they only add the 3 or 4 files on odin and just flash it...

Hey guys, firstly thankyou! This worked perfectly and now I'm able to use Samsung pay down in Australia! Only thing that I would add from the perspective of being a complete beginner to Odin, is how to save the files when you edit the CSC (press escape then type ":wq") it took me an extra 20 minutes to figure it out and I thought someone might find it useful

Got it from a third party. I was worried that it was counterfeit so before installing it I went through the system files to see if it's really the right model. But I can of course not guarantee that it wasn't modified by a third party. But I kinda assume that samsung won't boot from any random image given that you can't downgrade Samsung and even their tizen to any version you want apparently.

The csc.img has BTU inside. But I can't guarantee you anything when I ran this with my zone set to XTC it was booting fine but I couldn't get my phone to connect / initialize the watch after the factory reset. But not sure if it was the app or because i didn't properly reset or if I maybe shouldn't have reset.
So I can tell you that it will boot without issues but whether it works no idea. Maybe someone else can comment on that.

I think you are talking about steps 17 and 18. If so can you please till me a bit more detailed how to do these steps ! I mean Do we edit manually in the sdb?? or how are we editing? Why do we need to save the files after editing? there is nothing about saving files in the steps above!
Sorry if my questions are silly but I am a real beginner here!

No one will give you guarantees on this because no one wants to blame if something goes wrong. But if you try absolutely under no circumstances interrupt the flashing process and absolutely don't use the wrong model ROM. Also to be safe don't try to flash a firmware that has a lower version than your current one.

csc usually depends on the vendor. So there are a bunch of sweden csc's . But you should be able to find your current csc in /cas/imei/prodcode.dat
a list is on droid views

r820 is the 44mm bluetooth model.
825 and 835 are lte with one version being US and the other being global I believe.

Lower frimware? I have Tizen version 4.0.0.7
1. Do you know if the availabe combination frimware for R820 is of a lower frimware??
2. Yes My R820 is the 44mm bluetooth. thats correct. I guess I should use R820 which you linked in your original post!
3. Can you please describe more about steps 17-18 I didn't really understand how to edit! It's my first time using this sdb thing
Thanks for your patience everybody answering or even reading my questions

I think I am the most commenting member on this topic.
I have read a lot and almost all the details in each shared link in this thread.
I am trying hard I swear. Lately after downloading the shared files in the links in the original post. I can't start the file "web-cli_Tizen_Studio_3.3_windows-64"
It is just flashing a cmd window and nothing happens after that!
What should I do in this case??
The other file in the link "web-ide_Tizen_Studio_3.3_windows-64" is telling I should have JDK software which I installed but It didn't help anyway!

Don't use that because I had the same issue in Windows 10. Go to https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74585286&postcount=330 and download SDBstarterKidv1.zip. Extract it and run ansicon.exe under data/tools folder. It will open a command prompt.

Thanks for the advice
I haven't done Netodin steps yet.
I am trying now to just connect the watch to the computer through the wifi network.
I have debugging mode on in the watch but I still can not connect to the watch
It keeps telling me failed to connect
connecting to 192.168.0.16:26101 ...
failed to connect to 192.168.0.16:26101
Is it normal I can't connect before doing the netodin steps??

Normally the watch comes up with a prompt to allow your pc to connect to your watch. Maybe you might have to restart your watch. I would try the netodin step first because it might be more straightforward to connect the combination firmware to the computer because I didn't get any prompt on that.
Also maybe check that your virus scanner/firewall isn't blocking access.

I've tried to turn off my antivirus and firewall but still no connection.
The newer versions of sdb 4.1.8 is showing the following:
The version of SDB client (4.1.8) and server (2.2.60) are different.
This may cause version compatibility problems.
It is recommended to use SDB server 4.1.8. *

sdb.exe once started is Background process...
To close active sdb you can do this:
Code:
sdb kill-server

Try to read:

Ignore Gear S2 text... because this is same shhh... since years...
Mandatory is to find your correct IP.
Hint...
Maybe it helps to try different PCs or Notebooks... sometimes more luck on other device... but only with correct IP in Command...

This is driving me crazy guys
Still cannot connect to the watch through wifi yet
I am getting this answer now
* server not running. starting it now on port 26099 *
* server started successfully *
connecting to 192.168.0.16:26101 ...
failed to connect to 192.168.0.16:26101
I am trying on both the older and the newer versions of sdb
Debugging mode is on in my watch
When writing same command again "sdb connect 192.168.0.16" I get weird figures or "error: target offline" in the newest version of sdb
I have even tried to create a private wifi from the computer I use and connect the watch to the same network but it didn't help either.
I am still only trying to connect the watch to the computer through sdb. I haven't done the odin steps yet. I am afraid doing odin steps and not being able to complete the sdb connecty steps !!
I have another question:
Where I live in Sweden. Samsung didn't release a bluetooth version at all. That's why I bought mine from Germany.
If I change my csc to Sweden. Will it work as there is actually no swedish bluetooth SM-R820 !! I mean that mine watch will be probably the only bluetooth r820 with swedish csc !!!! will I get updates as usual? will the watch even work?
