Hi All,

I was stuck at the Serial for a Looooooong time. Nothing worked. Until I did the following:

1) Using HHDHexeditor, copy the first 416byte (NOT 220byte!)

2) Write the copied original backup ROM into the new ROM (.nb1 file)

3) Put into your 02 Mini

4) VERY IMPORTANT! - Plug into your USB PORT!

5) Then I see the "Press Power button to Flash!"

and I am happily flashing my device now ... My guess is that it needs to be on external power in order to upgrade .... Thanks everyone .. can't wait to see my new baby with 27Mb storage! :twisted:

I'm using 256Mb SD Card ....

i am not seeing the popup window in which to select "d2s"...can anyone help?

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] abit:
2. When it shows “Press Power to flash”, press the on/off button. Wait until it reaches 100% and ignore the message “Download Fail - CheckSum Fail”

3. Soft reset your ppc.

After this.... how I do the soft reset with my ppc?? Connect or diconnect with the USB?? Coz I can't turn it back to the normal from boot loader mode even I do soft or hard reset after the rom flashing.......why?? :shock:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] cojones:
I get the message ROM size isn't enough when i press the power button to flash from the sd card...why is this?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] smithy318i:
WTF ??? The only options are COM1 COM2 or COM3 and the Baud rate.

What a POS!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] sakiyo:
Put ppc into the boot loader mode (hold both on/off , camera and reset buttons).
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] smithy318i:
Yeah... I have already done that... Thats step ONE

What im saying is \\.\WCEUSBSH001 or d2s are not options...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] BeyondtheTech:
You have to disable the USB connection in Microsoft ActiveSync (go into Connection Settings).

Then run the program again and " \\.\WCEUSBSH001" should be an option in the drop-down menu.

Well I gave this a try and it all works pretty easy till I go to reflash. I have the mksBigStorage.nb1 on my SD card inserted. I put it into bootloader mode, but I never get a message saying to hit the power button to begin the flash....attached to USB or not?

only show serial and nothing happen,

wait wait long long time but still nothing

any one help too, I am uisng my own rom o2 aisa mini 1.11 new version
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Paragon:
Well I got mine to flash. I have no idea why, I used the same nb1 file on the same SD card and today it flashed...weird.

jykk, it is normal to download fail and checksum fail message. Try doing a hardreset. After mine finished and I reset it, it sat for 10-15 minutes at the boot screen before it finally came to life.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] KevinL:
I am having troubles. I have read just about every post (and decyphered the broken english in them) and have hit a point I can't pass...

I have used ntrw to get my .nb1 file, copied the first 416 bytes from my original ROM.

I have downloaded os1.11wwe_bigstorage.nb1 from the /Magician/anasky directory on the FTP server.

I have overwritten the first 416 bytes with the header from my original ROM.

I have used NTRW to write back to the SD card (even though it says it failed and doesn't tell me how many bytes it has written).

I have reconnected the bootloader-mode Magician to my USB cable with the new SD Card inserted, and nothing happens for a long time. If I try to take out the SD Card, it comes up with the message:

"

SD Download

Sections=1

Press Power

to Flash....."

Here, I have a few choices. If I leave the SD card out and press power, it fails, saying "Card is not inserted!"

If I put the card back in and press power, it says "Read card is fail!" (sic)

Sometimes, I get the message "ROM size is not enough!"

What am I doing wrong?!? I've tried cable in, cable out, SD Card in, SD Card out, bootloader resets, soft resets, just about every combination. I have a sneaking suspicion that I am doing something wrong, but can't figure out what...

/me huffs off to re-load his last incremental backup...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] KevinL:
I hate double posting, but I may have found the solution myself...

I took my ntrw-written SD Card OUT of my Magician, disconnected the USB cable and bootloader reset it. I then re-connected the USB cable and re-inserted the SD Card. I then reset my PC and when the PC came back to Windows (XP Professional) this seemed to kick off the update - the message this time was:

"

SD Download

Sections=0 Note the change in number

Press Power to upgrade"

Which I did :D

The message:

"Please Wait

for

Downloading

1%

Updating..."

Then came up and climbs slowly (but steadily) to 100%. It's slow (it's only around 80% as I type this, but it looks ok so far...

Hope this helps!

our FTP Server

Hii.. now my XDA is now mksbigstorage.. at last.

I stuck for about 2days to upgrade it. THis is because I got the unworking program which is ntrw. I downloadit from ftp. After I got that file. then I begin my mksbigstorage. then I stuck at read the rom.nb1. it wont read & nothing happened. I spent 2 days. Then I try to download the other one in our ftp. finally it can read my rom and send it to my SD. huh...

So people out there be very careful when u download the program. make sure it running 100%.

BTW, it is strange that files in ftp almost vanished!!... someone trying to do bad thing. hmm... 8)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Looking Glass:
IT WORKS!

Hi again!

After a brief research in other forums, I found "packaged" in a single .rar file all the tools needed.

Now I know why this thing is called Magician! It worked on my first try, with BigStorage and 1.11 Spanish ROM..... "magic" indeed.

Should anyone follow carefully the indicated steps, I will work, regardless the many "error" messages during the process.

I wish we would have a tool like the hacked HimaUpgrade for the Himalaya, but although cumbersome this method works. so many thanks to the guys who made it possible.

:) :wink:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Grill Oven:
I have done all what I have read,

I got a checksum fail and download fail at the end of the ROM downloading.

Did a SR, it came up ok within seconds.

The thing is that I see that I have 57.41MB in my main memory. I dont see any extended ROM anywhere, even if I make the trick with pressing quickly on the screen and do a SR.

Wasnt it suppose to be bigger than 57.41MB ??

I haven't found an answer to this question. Could somebody answer it?

I tried a full ROM backup with the tutorial from http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=62, but the third command (d2s 70000000 01080000 sd a) always ended in an everlasting "Cal checksum." Maybe the memory adresses are only valid for the XDA II.

Please help me with a full ROM backup?

Hi there,

i flashed my orange m500 with an dump of another m500. I changed the bits&bytes (416) in the file.

Then I flashed the thing. After an error (checksum) I resetted the device. But now I only get the 'serial' on my display.

Don't know what to do now?!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] GAINER:
Hi to all!!! :) This is my second post in your great forum and I'm afraid that my question might sound a little bit stupid but I would like to ask you something: I wonder if I could use MMC card for backup the ROM or it's obligatory to use SD card?!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] scgf:
I have managed to follow the instructions in this thread right up to:

'Right click on oldrom.nb1 to open hex editor. Copy the first 416 bytes.'

The hex editor opens and I see the contents of the file, but how do I select 416 bytes? There is no indication of how many bytes I have selected.

Please excuse my ignorance, but I have never dabbled with hex editors before. My best guess is that 1 byte = 1 character . . . .

Any help is gratefully received.

Many thanks.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] scgf:
OK. Nobody on this forum knows how to do this. I am very surprised. Maybe people are more inclined to discuss and actually don't put into practice what they report here :-(

Fortunately I found an easy to use app which will automatically take a specified number of bytes from the start of one ROM image and put it in the start of a second ROM file. Using this utility I managed to patch a ROM image which then successfully allowed me to flash my MDA Compact with the latest UK T-Mobile image.

The utility is called Bytecopy and can be found here:

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] marcdbl:
I found a different method for getting the boot loader to read the new image from the SD card. This method worked 100% for me, whereas all other methods (waiting 5 mins, plugging in USB, rebooting etc.) failed.

1. Press the camera button, power button and reset button simultaneously to get into boot loader as usual, so that 'Serial' is displayed on the screen.

2. Insert SD card.

3. Again, press the camera button, power button and reset button simultaneously to get into boot loader, so that 'Serial' is displayed on the screen.

4. At this point you should get the Upgrade prompt.

Hope that helps someone.

Information

Hi,

Ignore my ignorance but I have been looking all over the forum and before i do the big storage fix I wanted to know the following:

1. In plain speak, what exactly is the "Big storage" hack doing to the phone?

2. Does this hack have to be done everytime you flash a new ROM or only once?

Again, forgive my ignorance just I'm just trying to understand from all you gurus out there what I am about to do (or inflict) upon my QTEK. God help it, I'm not the most techy of people,

Thanks in advance,

Hi Bros,

Need some advice here.

I tried to re install my old rom thru SD after following the standard procedure to get my Backup.nb1 in my SD thru ntrw writw.

However, at the bootloader, When i tried to flash the rom thru SD, my O2 mini does not seems to be able to detect the SD and the serial V.1.02 does not change to "Press power button to begin installation". Thried thru some trial and error with the usb but to no avail.

My suspicion is this case, as i have problem with the rom i used initially when reading SD, thats why I need to fall back to the old rom. Could the problem lies on the problematic rom? I doubt so, as the rom is not in use at bootloader mode, how could the room affect the SD card detect during bootloader?

Any bro here can help me out?

thanks million.

been looking for a .tar file of cwm to upload to drop box and download it and flash it with mobile odin since my pc cant recognize my Nexus and then download su from drop box reboot to recovery and then flash a verizon rom and see if that fix the issue...Is that sounding like a good plan or not?
