Cannot download new rom to magician

[jack98lau]

Hello All,

I follow the upgrade guide, when doing the step "8. Downloading your New ROM onto your Magician", I press the Power, Camera and Reset buttons at the same time to go to "Boot-loaded" mode. But the screen DOES NOT show "SD Download", it still show "Serial".

Please help!!

I am using O2 mini limited edition.

Thanks,
Jack

Jack,

Try putting your SD in your PC card-reader again, when it doesn't want to format it the writing of the rom with ntrw has failed in such a way that a mbr is still present on your sd. Is it the same card as you used for dumping your own rom? Did you dump at all?

To solve your problem
- stay in bootloader
- connnect usb (now your magician reads USB)
- dump your own rom on the SD, this will destroy the mbr & now ntrw will write the rom-image at the beginning of the Sd & your magician will see it.
- make a back-up from your SD with ntrw if you like
- write back the image, you have from your previous attempt, with ntrw
- put the SD in your magician, still in bootloader
- now it should read 'press power to flash'

Good luck, M

You have to HOLD the three buttons until you see the screen that says to hit the power screen to update. If you don't get that screen, load the .nb1 file back onto the SD card again.

I had to hold the three buttons for several seconds.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply!

But I encouter any other problem. After following the procedure, the SD download screen was shown it shows 100% and everything run smooth. Then I hard reset my o2 mini. After that the memory still not change (64MB + 64MB). I am using the file mksBigStorage112.nb1.

Does anyone know what is the problem ?

Thanks,
Jack

Jack,

The device only has 64Mb. Take a look at the storage folder, this should be around 27Mb. Start -> Settings -> system -> Memory -> second tab & select Storage.

Cheers, M

[jack98lau]

oh, ic. But still has around 7mb.

Are you sure that you didn't flash your own dump back, cause this is not the expected result.

Try again pls etc etc & more of these predictable phrases.

You updated your ROM to a new version, but not a BIG STORAGE version.

To get more storage, you have to flash with a BigStorage ROM. There are several threads here describing the process in detail. Do a search on "Big Storage Explained" or such and you will get detailed instructions.

Sounds like a BS to me.
