ROM from Magican

[Gibbo]

Hi all,
for to get ROM from Magican you have:
-make a backup of your device with xbackup (it is a program in your MDA Compact).
-insert a sd card on your device,
-press and hold power and camera button and do a soft reset
-connect your device to your PC with the USB cable and disable USB on Active sync
-run MTTY.exe and select USB
-press enter, type d2s and press enter again (these command should backup ROM in to SD)
-when finish (you'll see it by device display) get the SD and insert it to a cards reader
-for to copy the file in SD Card to your PC you have to use NTRW and run it with this command: c:/ntrw read MDAc.nb1 x: (x is your card reader so replace with the letter of your card reader) and get NTRW in C:
-after that you should have in C: a file called MDAc.nb1
Now would be nice to upload it to FTP site or some where else.

Thanks for the information!

how do you do to backup also the extended rom and the radio rom ?
thanks

[madds]

Hi, when you backup the rom, the extended rom must be also included.

[jpa]

what do you mean by "must" : it's done when you enter "d2s" under Multi-Port/USB TTY ?
And for the radio rom ?
Thanks

Can you use the XDArit or SDCardTool GUI utilities to copy the ROM from the SD card to the computer?

I don't think so!

Anyway seems that nobody is able to dump the ROM of their English MDA Compact!!! :cry:

I have an English ROM from Dutch MDA Compact (Locked to T-Mobile) available for those who want it. Please PM me. (IMG file for use with Jeff's XDA Tools)

Thanks Wiz.

Could you post your image to xda FTP site?

ftp://xda:xda@forum.xda-developers.com

Cheers.

@Wiz : your rom image was not good. You sent me a file with a size of 3 Mo on your last email.

Are you sure that Jeff Tools are ok for a magician ?

Thanks to try again maybe with mtty ?

[Wiz]

MTTY gives the same result. Also 3Mb ... appears that the tools are not compatible with the Magician

with my german rom, when i use jeff tools the size of my image is 32*243*712 octets.

The size of SD image should be the same size of the SD Card (if you use NTRW).
Wich command on bootloader are'u using for dumped the ROM to SD?
Any body knows the rights strings?

Thanks.

I am now uploading the English ROM dump from my Dutch T-Mobile MDA Compact to ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Magician. The filesize is (zipped) 172Mb, so bear with me please, should be finished in 1 hour or so ...

[jpa]

thanks. I opened it with winhex. I am not a expert but something seems still strange. There is 256 Mo of data (and no blank) ?

[outz]

Has the extended been posted yet? I really want that cool screen rotation app that sits in the system tray.

[itsme]

take note that the magician os rom is 36Mbyte.

see MagicianRomLayout (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomLayout) in the wiki for more info.

the old xda-1 'jeff tools' will give you a very truncated rom.

hi,
it's not a cab since it's already instaled even if you don't let autoconfig run after hard-reset.

and it doesn't appear anywhere in the compact folders(windows, programme, etc...)!

[outz]

that sucks. :(

hi, i have connected with \\. \\WCEUSBSH001 115200 N-8-1
but there is a message keep on "CLIENTCLIENTCLIENTCLIENT"
do u know what the error is ?

[itsme]

the 'CLIENT' string is sent by activesync on your pda.
your pda is still booted normal, in windows-ce.

for the magician, you should hold the camera + power button, and press the reset switch ( in the little hole on the right on the bottom side )

Hello, I'm new to the O2 mini, hope some of yours can help on this.
Is the "d2s 80000000 4000000" will backup all the roms, included the ext. and radio? I want to make a backup that can save me if I fuck up in the rom upgrad. I had search for many topic here and can found one tell how to make a full backup on all roms. That's the one I found most likely.
Thanks for all yours help.
