MDA Compact upgrade in one package

[kavalir]

Hello, i have done lot of reading there about all upgrades on our Magician's.. So for everyone who is new here to this forum, there is latest update available with easy few steps to upgrade;)

ROM version 1.12.00 WWE
Radio version 1.13.00
Protocol version 1337.43
ExtROM version 1.12.131 WWE

It's an IMATE ROM, with CZ (Czech) customized ExtROM. so anyone who want to cook his own ROM, just

download this file > http://live61.com/mda/yourownEXT.nb1 and follow Extended ROM steps above

It's complete Dump of my device, including CE ROM, EXT ROM and RADIO STACK. This update flawlessly worked on 3 devices i had in my hands.. So I hope, it will help you with no problems. (no need to change any 440bytes and other 'hacks' found there in forum).

Install is so easy

1. download NB1 file http://dc.live61.com/mda/Imate_WWE_1.12_1.13_1.12.131.nb1
2. write it on your SD card (at least 128mb) with NTRW application - "ntrw.exe write Imate_WWE_1.12_1.13_1.12.131.nb1 g:" (g: as your SD card drive letter)
3. insert SD card to MDA, and enter bootloader with CAMERA+POWER buttons together with RESET
4. after about 8 seconds you will get message with "Sections=2, press Power.." so press Power button and wait until "Checksum OK" message appears. Then reset your MDA

Thats it!

Customized Extended ROM

1. install this plugin to your Total Commander. (restart of PC needed!) http://live61.com/mda/VirtualDisk_1.30b2.rar
2. mount as an virtual image yourownEXT.nb1 file
3. make here your desired changes and unmount it
4. run WinHEX, open modified yourownEXT.nb1 (ouch.. i know, you need this.. http://sweb.cz/ftp1/WinHexSerial.txt)
5. select whole file with CTRL+A and copy to clipboard CTRL+C
6. open Imate_WWE_1.12_1.13_1.12.131.nb1 file, go to OFFSET 2C0019C and write clipboard data with CTRL+B
7. save Imate_WWE_1.12_1.13_1.12.131.nb1 and follow Install steps

If anything goes wrong, please let me know. Good luck. John

Hi
I made a SD card as You wrote.
When I make a HR, I have clear dark screen with "Serial" on the top and "v 1.00" on the booteom of the screen.

What is wrong?

Thanks for help.
