Good day

I have a 10 day old imate new jam (NM8 Magician). I want to upgrade just my Radio version to 1.13 (hoping to rectify my problem)due to a crap gsm signals as this is a replacement to a same model which i thought was faulty, but when i got the replacement, im stuck with the same problems ( poor gsm signal and crap camera). As i search the Magician forums, the more i read, the more i get confused. I have been to the wiki side of the forum as well as the main forums.

Can someone please enlighten me, or just put me in the right direction where to download Radio version 1.13, and some instructions.

Details of my imate jam are:
PM10A
Rom Version 1.12.00WWE
Rom Date May 28, 2005
Radio Version 1.12.10
Protocol Version 1337.42
ExtRom Version 1.12.171WWE



Thank you very much!!!!

The story to upgrade to radio 1.13 can be found in this thread: 'Upg to 1.13 WWE ROM (with 1.13 Radio) in 10 easy steps!' @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32274&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0&sid=75c5e40168a22052fb7c5554bddd68c2

nm8,
You can try my much easier post, I have pasted a few previous posts to save time so it might not flow. Go to this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=27537&highlight=
to get the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe file you will need and follow my instructions. It really is not to hard. I hed never done any of this before so if I could do it any one can.
Make sure when you view that link you are logged on or you will not see the download for the MaUpgradeUt.exe file. Once you have downloaded, winrar the iMate rom to open or seperate the files, there should be 7 or 8 files. You will see the MaUpgradeUt.exe file that comes with the iMate rom in those 7 or 8 files. Delete that MaUpgradeUt.exe file and replace it with the MaUpgradeUt.exe you downloaded from the link. Now click on the MaUpgradeUt.exe rom, it will do its thing. It may still give you wrong country code, dont sweat it, just re click on the MaUpgradeUt.exe file and start again. It will only give you wrong country code once, maybe twice but keep re starting, it will work. Enjoy
Ps because this was for a previous post remember to replace any instructions of "imate rom" with Radio13

hi
thanks to both of you for the quick reply. i have downloaded the files.
now before i begin, when i unzipped MagicianRadio_1[1].13.00_maupgrade, there is a file named "HTCRUU.dll". some threads say i nedd to rename it to "RUU.dll" only, secondly, when i connect my jam to pc, doi have to untick USB?

thank you once again

[oltp]

No need to untick usb, the upgrade needs the usb connection to check the country id & it will put your device in bootloader with the transfer to & execution of the file enterbl.exe on your magician.

don't know about the ruu dll. when you got enough Bandwith download a Complete shipped rom from the ftp & extract all the files from it, or view them with winzip to see the correct file name.

cheers, M
