HELLO


This device is only in bootloader mode so you can reflash it without problem.
There is a lot of topics in this forum to perform that. :wink:

I had to do a "simply" rom upgrade or some different operation? :?:
I have find that post on this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=14973&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
i had to what is described on it?

Beware though. I had once screwed my MDA during an upgrade and all it did was start iself in the bootloader mode. For some reason, I couldnt re-flash any ROM onto the machine and had to took it back to t-mobile and they replaced a new unit for me.

Mmm... this is a bad new... anyone help?

[Redpizzi]

i had this problem too, all i did was kept trying to different roms till one finally worked

i Downloaded all the rom from the FTP site

1 finally worked then after that, i updated to the 1.12 Imate rom...

Can not tell you which one worked, but i had to copy it to a Memory card to do it

Maybe if you try the Windows Installers, 1 might work

hi Herian..
1st of all,as the guys said,ur phone is in bootloader mode....it's not a problem,so don't be affraid :wink:
if u have'nt performed a flash before,am gonna try avoiding u flashing unless it's the last resort... :D
so bro,do the following:

1-remove the battery and leave ur PDA more than 2 hours without battery(u don't need 2 hours but am taking it to the limit),so that the backup battery will drain,all old data in RAM will be lost...put the battery again...and:if it restarts and enters OS,then congratulations,but if it doesn't,so u have to go to step 2.

2-reflash ur device:
-althought ur device is a Magician(at least this is what i think),all the procedures mentioned in my post(here's the link :wink: ) http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=25830&highlight= should work with no problem,the main difference wil be entering the bootloader mode,but since ur already in it :wink: ,it not a problem anymore,this is why you have to follow my instructions starting with step 2(the link,ok).

my advice for u will be to download the 1.12.00WWE ROM from the ftp,coz it's the last one,and good luck bro :D

tell us the news,or pm me anytime,it will be my pleasure to help u :D

RAGO :lol:

First of all: hello, I am new here :D
I just got a Magician (MDA compact) and tried to update it. But it failed and now it is in the bootloader mode. When I try a new update, it stops in step 1 after a few minutes. On the Magician you can see "upgrade radio stack, please wait".

Any ideas? I am a little bit confused, so much money and now it doesnt't work :(

hi COnker..
u must upgrade ur device with the right OS,ur case happens when u try to upgrade with a different OS(eg:upgrading a magician with a Himalaya ROM),but with the same operator(eg:i-mate jam upgraded with i-mate PDA ROM,u pass country ID error,and run ClearJmpCode.exe,and it ends by a dead jam in bootloader mode... :wink: ).
so my friend,what u have to do,is to go to ftp,and search for a ROM update made specifically for Magician(try 1.12.00WWE),then follow my instruction in the above topic.....
good luck :D

Noway :(
I had tryed several times whit a lot of MaUpgrade(finded on the ftp site) but noway... The upgrade show me a window with the version of current rom and the version of the upgrade rom... but is empty! Then, if i click on upgrade, after a few minutes the mdac shut down and the program give me a 150 error... i don't know what i have to do...

[Herian]

I have read in some post here that is possible to do a backup of rom on sd card and to restore it.
If some good guy send me his backup files can i relive my mdac?

Hi,

I had the same problem but i have found a way without upgrade it.

1. pull out your battery.

2. put in your charger ( not usb )

3. put in your battery and then again pull out your battery and then again put in your battery.

4. now you will see the phone is starting up and if you have calibrate your screen and the rest the phone gonna install allot of stuff but when its installing everything pull out your battery and charger.

5. put in your battery and press the power button and congratulations your phone is working again.
