Hi Bajok. thanks for all the things you do all the time to put some life into our atom life.

Upgrading FM RADIO from O2 to MWG is very easy in VISTA-32

1. I downloaded latest MWG ROM Update Utility (includes rom) from http://www.mwg.com/atom-life_wm6_download.aspx which was in ZIP format, so extracted "MWG Atom Life WM6 ROM WWE_020108_B2_DS.exe" file to "My Documents" folder on PC.

2. Downloaded PASS.ZIP (attached below) and extracted "Pass.32" file from it and kept in "My Documents" folder on PC.

3. In Atom Life Settings, I confirmed that Connections>>USB to PC>> is set on "Serial Sync Mode" and then connected AtomLife to PC with USB cable. Then Started

Windows Mobile Device Center

and waited until the device was connected and ready to work.

4. Now in PC's My Document folder I started MWG Update utility by Rightclicking on "MWG Atom Life WM6 ROM WWE_020108_B2_DS.exe" and executed as "RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR". Remember "Run as Administrator".

5. Though Atom Life was already connected, when the Update utility asks you to connect device on second box, just wait and dont close program. Now Copy "Pass.32" file in My Documents and Paste in "C:/windows/Temp" folder. OverWrite by clicking on COPY AND REPLACE when asked. Be sure its pasted without any error. Remember windows temp folder is exact as mentioned here. Dont copy in user temp folder or any other folder. Its "C:\windows\temp" only.

6. Now Click NEXT>> in MWG Update utility and keep on clicking NEXT >> NEXT until the Update is finished. Around three to four times the PERCENTAGE count runs from 0 to 100% and it takes lot of a time in each stage. When update is over you get last box with FINISH button, click it and the atom life will restart and show up new MWG logo and OS. You should now disconnect Atom Life from PC and wait until it restarts with MWG OS.

7. It is possible that the device does not start completely after update and hang after showing MWG start logo screen or it may also go blank while restarting. But dont worry, RADIO Hardware is updated from 070905 to 080121 while update was done in step 6. Simply take any ROM by Bajok and reflash with SDCARD. You will find new FM RADIO after any ROM FLASH. That means New updated RADIO from MWG device, but on any ROM you want to flash later.

Hope these steps will help lot of people who have some doubt about doing this in VISTA.

Why Upgrade RADIO?

Lolz! I dont really know exactly but it is said that new Radio is version 080121 and Faster, Better and Eats less battery than O2. Later I flashed MWG Atom Life WM6.5 ROM WWE_072909_B2_DS by aa125690 with Jblend 2.1. This rom was really fast and I noticed very good and stable OS operations too.

Can we flash any new or old ROM after MWG Radio Update?

Of course yes! When you flash any old rom you still see new FMRadio in any old or new roms you flash later on. Whats happens here is MWG Update utility first updates all essential Hardware sections and related operating softwares for them like Radio, BT, etc. and later it updates FLASH.DIO which is same as our regular AL1.DIO file.

NEVER SAW ANY DEVICE IN THE WORLD OTHER THAN ATOM LIFE, WHICH IS VERY EASY AND SAFE TO FLASH AND EXPERIMENT. I did many flashing in other WM, MotoMing, MotoRokr, RokrE6, etc devices too, but flashing the AtomLife was always easy and proved safe. We have people here in this forum who flash around 3 to 4 time a week because of BAJOK, lolz.

Last but not the least, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Lolz :D:D:D:D Enjoy
