Re: Upgrade Bootloader 1.03 to 1.06

hi rhmartin .. pls PM me your YM or ICQ bro .. we need to talk live in Upgrading your BOOLOADER .. my first downgrade to 1.03 .. took 1 minute to finish .. and yeah ive been praying that nothing will happen .. when i downgrade to 1.01 from 1.03 it only took 15seconds .. but when i upgrade to 1.06 it took almost 30seconds.. but when i downgrade again to 1.01 and now from 1.06 it took me also 36seconds .. anyway its more on your PC and PPC condition than the actual upgrading process .

wish you were in pHilippines so we can study and compare our device .. :(

anyway guys before i even try to downgrade my Bootloader id already ask a forumer who has a working button to open his device and i will open my device also and compare it with him .. i just had to confirm first using all bootloader that its not really a bootloader issue .. it will just take us too long since i cant find a forumer near to my place that has working button to compare it we only communicate thru IM ..

ONE MORE THING GUys .. anyone here has also BOOTLOADER 1.01 pls pm me .. id like to check and compare it with the one i got from JAMES .. im having some problems with 1.01 than with 1.03 .. id like to know if this is just me and my device or the problem is incompatiblity somewhere of bootloader itself ...

anyway JAMES have you try using an MMC bigger than 64MB .. i dont have a problem in SD card even in 1gb but if i use MMC it can only read first 64MB and it will hang there .. i already try it in 1.06 but i havent encounter that problem .. i remember in 1.03 that i dont a problem in that either .. anyway tnx again for the 1.01 ..:)

=hi rictec..

actually m with you that the problem is due to driver (or dll) and it can be fix with a patch or a new driver .. since we dont have this problem in old WM version .. maybe we just need to distinguish first wat causes the problem .. :)

Hardware

I have an old XDAII from Korea that came with 1.52 or something like that and a newer one from China with 1.66 with Chinese on it.

I have 2.20 Translated on both now.

The hardware is different.

I broke the screen on the China one and I took the screen out of the older unit. The connections would not even fit. Different hardware. :shock:

The China one is at www.PPCtechs.com now. When it comes back, I will flash them both with 2005.

If one works and the other does not... It will prove it is a hardware issue.

Has any one tried this http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus_t.html It woks great on 2003 2.20 etc. If it works on 2005, even with only the two top buttons, you could have a total of SIX buttons. (two real and 4 virtual) If the Volume slider part works.. THAT WOULD BE GREAT TOO! :D

SimPLE StUpID EXPERimeNTaTIOn .. BOOTLOADER PLAYING part 4

It's final .....

The objective of toenailed Part 4 experimentation is to determine if the bootloader is the main cause of not-working buttons in Magneto.

To confirm, we decided to use my device with a version 1.03 bootloader & working buttons to upgrade to version 1.06 & see if the buttons will still work or not.

The procedure involved:

:arrow: OS downgrade from Magneto to PPC 1.72,

:arrow: upgrade of the bootloader to 1.06 (toenailed version 1.06/not working buttons) and

:arrow: installation of Buzz Mobile V1.6a (or any Magneto version).

And ......

THE UPGRADE WAS SUCCESSFUL.

It's a scary thing to do, a cliff-hanger from start to finish but, with toenailed guiding me what could possibly go wrong!? :wink:

So after the upgrade to toenailed bootloader version 1.06 & BM V1.6a, are my camera & record buttons still working???

YES, THE BUTTONS ARE (STILL) WORKING :!: :!: :!:

Therefore, its not the bootloader that's causing the buttons not to work in Magneto .... it's something else: hardware, driver, etc. But whatever, we have eliminated the bootloader as a probable cause of not working buttons :!:

Thank's toenailed for the version 1.06 bootloader & the patience to bear with me during the upgrade process.

Notes:

Version 1.06 bootloader / WM2k5 1.60a solved the hang problem at power on if the device is in landscape mode.

"Double-tap power off" exhibits a different behavior compared to version 1.03 / WM2k5 1.60a.

Either its the bootloader or the "NEW" v1.60a that caused those, i'll post later if I can confirm.

Waiting for Experimentation Part 5 :idea: toenailed .......

Sorry i can't offer any technical advice or anything on this matter :(

I can only say that in wm2003se 2.06 all my buttons work fine, but once i upgrade to wm2005 (any version) the rec/cam buttons stop working....

Now i haven't changed the bootloader or anything (i'm on 1.06) but i have noticed a couple of issues :-

1) When i upgraded from 1.50f to 1.50g then to 1.50h i did not lose any data, the only information i had to reenter into my device with the date and time, now when i was experimenting with 2003se every time i changed the os, i had to reinstall everything.... is this a common thing to do with the static storage, or is it unusual ?

2) since my rec/cam buttons don't work, i can't perform a hard reset (by following instructions to hold down rec/cam/nav pad/ power and press the soft reset button - you need like 4 hands) - is this correct or just particular to my device...

It's a unlocked orange m1000 Comments please !

Hi rictec,

All the credits to toenailed! He designed the tools & made bootloader tweaking 'look' easy. I just provided my device for test.

The intention is to drag away toenailed, jojo & the rest from this hardware button problems so that they could help us out more on some of the Magneto problems. But, unluckily we failed.v :(

Hope you find the driver info soon, I know you are a great man too!

I have not tried my other XDAII yet cuz it is still not back from the PPC techs but if I remeber correctly, the buttons did not work with 2005.

Old XDA bought in Dec 2003 DOES work.

New one bought this year made in China with Chinese 1.66 on it originally does NOT work.. (If memory is correct.. I only had 2005 for a few days before puting 2.20 back on). I will check again when it comes back.

WM5 - 1.60 or 1.50i

Hey Guys,

i think I have flashed my ROM for aobut 8 times (including 3 times today itself) to upgrade it to WM5 and stable one.

lastly I tried with the 1.50g and found buttons are not working (with bootloader version 1.0a) now I'm going back to the 2k3SE to see if i can get my older bootloader 1.06 back and then i can proceed with the 1.50g again.

I hv benn facing lot of issues with this like buttons not working; dont see wireless USB modem working(i use it most :( ), didnt see photocontact application in there and lot others.

Can anyone tell me whether these issues been resolved with 1.60 or 1.50i ?

I dont mind flashing my device for another 5-4 times, if i get all these working!!

thanks in advance.

what do you think your old bootloader before you upgrade to WM2005 .. i believe it was changed after you upgrade since 1.50g contains bootloader 1.00a ..

Thanks Toe,

I'll give this a try today and try to extract the bootloader.

u are right, i hav ethe 1.00a right now and that shd be after in upgraded it to 1.50g.

I remember I had 1.06 earlier while i flashed with 2003 and 2003SE.

I tried with 1.60 lastly kept it for a day and then came back to the 1.50g again as it has got more storage memory. I cant live without few programs and my emails also take some space that is not possible wit the 1.60 with low storage memory.

let me know if u still need me to extract the boot loader and pass it onto u.

just a thought guys. if record button and camera buttons are not working try installing a third party apps like resco audio recorder and w/ camera i have no idea if there's like a third party apps for camera. then instead of having the orig recorder and camera apps map to these buttons, try using the third party apps and map these apps to their corresponding buttons.

I think you need some clarifications.

There are 2 different versions of this device (with identical appearance).

One is run by Qtek as 2020, the other is 2060.

The 2060 has a LCD with a bare connector made from the ribbon cable itself, and it fits into a connector that has a lever or something similar.

The 2020 (only this is sold as XDA II) LCD has a 2-pieces snap connector, of which a half is soldered on the end LCD ribbon cable.

There are some other minor hardware differences as well.

And you know what? Generating further complications, despite that only the 2020 is sold as XDA II, BOTH are sold as T-Mobile MDA II.

__

Taking into account the fact that all of these devices will loose camera functionality if you press soft-reset right after hard reset (before customisation starts - you may try this without risk!! it restores if you do a hard reset again and let the customisations install), if I were you, I would give up doing useless experiments with the bootloader and would go for something really specific - like comparing the ExtROM or the like.

Before I can assure you of the old hardware and new hardware idea,,, I need to put 2005 back on the newer phone.

I put 2005 on it a few months ago, then put 2.20 back on then broke the screen and sent it to ppctechs.com. Now I have it back and when I try to reload the 2005 for you all to test it, it just hands after insatll.

If I remeber correctly, there was an issue like this of 2003 to 2005 then back to 2003 and NOT be able to go back to 2005 again..

Is there any remody so I can test the buttons again for everyone?

Re: I think you need some clarifications.

QTEK 2060 is PH10A

QTEK 2020 is PH10B .. :wink:

from the start the MODEL ID is never been an issue when it comes to button problem in MAGNETO since it was obvious that some who has working button has also uses PH10B .. ..

it is true that the major difference of two HIMALAYA device is found in LCD but it cannot be distringuish by Model ID .. PH10B has released an Identical LCD hardware that with PH10A .. so we cannot say if it is old or new unless we analyze it ..the best way is thru the Hardware button of WM2k5 ..

since no one ever have try before changing his bootloader, the QUESTION: "HOW TO CHANGE THE BOOTLOADER?" had popup .. and this is wat this experimentation do .. to prove if the BOOTLOADER is really the responsible for Button PROBLEM in MAGNETO

im so sorry .. what ExtROM ?? in MAGNETO, Exnteded_ROM Folder is use only for additional Memory Storage .. thats why i create this wiki page

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Himalaya_2005_FolderName

so you can rename the Extended_ROM Folder to any other name ...

btw there is no Customization cab release YET for HImalaya MAGNETO (WM2005) .. camera Application is already builtin in the OS .. :)

Ok I'll finally ask this question, I don't know why I didn't ask it earlier, anyways I've been playing around with the bootloader now for some type, me and obelix, have been working at this for some a while.. we've managed to gather enough information to fully manipulate the bootloader. (on my audiovox vx6600 a.k.a XDAIIs/BlueAngel). so here is my question.

I've uploaded so many different versions ROMs (nk.nbf, radio_.nbf, ms_.nbf) to my devices, and NONE have actually changed my bootloader, as I still see on the screen the same thing I've always seen

SERIAL or USA and at the bottom 1.02, the 1.02 has NEVER changed, so how the heck are u guys changing the bootloader.. I finally got my self a serial cable so since I can actually use the "l", and "rrbmc" command's I can send any rom to it directly without the need of any of the programs that the OEM's use. (himaupdate, Baupgrade etc..)

So what am I doing wrong? what program do u guys ACTUALLY use ?

anyways here is the link to the post to the bootloader info, for the ones interested..

I just re-flashed 3 phones (including mine), which all had bootloader 1.06.. however the 2 other phones had their buttons working and mine weren't...

Could upgrading from 2003SE to Buzzmobile be the cause? The 2 other phones I upgraded directly from 2003 (not 2003SE)..

Another note, the registry entries (for the buttons) of the 2 phones with working buttons were very different from mine...

hi jenellej

.. the real issue with the button problem is the driver compatiblity with the hardware .. and i believe that HTC(or those who have BSP) can fix it since they know more of our device than the MS(the same issue in WM2003SE BlueAngel CAMERA) .. but i dont think they will waste their time fixing it since they already discontinued the production of HIMALAYA and focuses now in their new devices ..

i've already try using the old driver from WM2003SE and WM2003 but it doesnt work .. so we really need to rely on patching (or other called it cracking).. but still cant figure out how .. especially dont have my device yet .. :cry:

bit odd

Like everyone else my rec, and cam buttons do not work.

However i have noticed that if i turn my device off, and hit the rec button, it will turn the device back on and start recording. the same is not true for the cam button.

however when i do this, my answer and hang-up buttons stop working, and the can and rec buttons still not work. If i soft reset, everything is back to normal (i.e. my rec and can buttons are not working, but my phone buttons are)

to me this means, that the rec button IS mapped, but for some reason dose not work.

also once i have started recording with the rec button and the device has come on, i cant use the rec button to stop the recording.

is this any help to anyone?
