Guide to upgrading Universal with MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe

[ratcom]

How to update your rom to the latest I-mate version (with push email) and Radio 1.09.0 using the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe method

1 – download the file “Universal_Upgrade_v1.30.68_radio_1.09.0.zip” from the ftp site (see bottom of post for details)
2 - double click the file and allow it to unpack into a folder
3 – right click on the active sync icon in your tasks tray on you pc (at the stage you should NOT have you universal plugged in)
4 – select connection setting then untick “allow USB connections”
5 – Now take your Universal and take out the SIM and MEMORY CARD
6 – Press light + power + reset with the phone on, this will place the universal into bootloader mode
7 – Connect your Universal via the USB cable to your computer directly i.e. not though a USB hub
8 – Now double click on the program called “MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe” (found in to folder from step 1) this will start the upgrade process, the first stage takes about 3 to 5 minutes to complete, you will then be presented with a screen showing a “Imate Jam” and some information about what you are upgrading to, don’t be worried if this screen does not show you the version numbers you have at present that is normal.
9 – Now continue with the process by clicking upgrade/next
10 – After sometime (about 20 minutes) you should be at the end screen tell you to unplug and reset you “jam” So now unplug your universal and reset it and that’s all there is to it!

Note that during the upgrade process you can follow the progress by also looking at your universal screen with a light source as the backlight will be off.

I hope this post helps someone as looking around the forum Im amazed by the amount of people asking “how do I upgrade my rom” or “I only get a “country id error” when trying to update”

[ratcom]

Thanks rat - very cool of you to post up a guide. How Nb is it to remove your SIM?No sure I understand the question however Ive updated before now with the sim card in however lots of people report that its important to remove both the memory & sim cards so Ive included it because its better to be safe than sorry ;)

[wamatt]

Thanks I'll play it sorry :/..

[wamatt]

BTW do you have to use this NOID method if you have an IMATE too?

[ratcom]

BTW do you have to use this NOID method if you have an IMATE too?No you should be ok using the orginal package, however this way will still work

[Piesang]

I installed the ROM but after the installation is finished and I reset the device I only get a blank screen. :cry:

[Jorgee]

I installed the ROM but after the installation is finished and I reset the device I only get a blank screen. :cry:

Blank screen but do you have the USB or SERIAL written on the Screen?

Rat didn't mention in his post but it comes out in the last screen that it is supposed to be a HARD RESET which will bring about a menu where you have to press 0 (Zero) to ahrd reset the device. hope this helps

[Piesang]

Yip, sorry, That's correct. I get the screen that says I have to press 0 to reset or X to exit.

If I press 0 the screen goes blank and stays like that.

I've installed the previous ROM now and it is working perfectly. It's just the new ROM on this page doesn't want to work on my Jasjar.

I downloaded it straight from the first post and it installed flawlessly...

Have you tried installing it from bootloader mode instead of direct update? And without SD card in the PDA? This might work.

BTW, I have returned to the older ROM.... advantages don't outweigh the disadvantages.

My phone keeps on hanging (for the 1st time ever after 5 months use and different ROMs) on the screen where it shows whose calling. I havent answered the call yet but it stops ringing. When i open the PDA it has ANSWER on the left softkey and pressing this doesn't do anything. Will wait for the release..

It is a lot faster thought (the test ROM)

[Piesang]

Thanks for the info. I'm not gonna bother upgrading now. I'll wait for a decent ROM later.

Thanks m8

umm - stupid question I know.....

But what does this actually DO??


I understand that this will upgrade the radio stack and thus produce better reception etc - but what else will it do??

If I have an Orange M5000 will I still be able to use it on Orange's network?? Do i need to fill in any settings? Do I need to make notes of certain stuff beforehand? If so - what settings?

I assume this will totally rewrite the registry and what programs are on teh device - or will it??

I suppose a lot of this information is available on the forum - but tracking it down can take a lot of time for someone who's not necessarily that 'au fait' with the working of the device.

I also have an orange M5000 which I would like to get off Orange to use my Vodafone SIM - would installing this new ROM be the way to go ?

[Rockafello]

not if your phone is simlocked (or network locked). new rom is only the software.

[JJ10]

Just reading the other thread on this - sorry , am a relative newby.

It looks like MachineGod and Buzz are on the case though - and with their track record........
:D

[PDAholic]

I wanted to confirm that Ratcom's file he linked to is good (not corrupt) and his method for upgrade works. Nice work, Ratcom.

[ratcom]

[taurus_bull2005]

In case i upgrade the Rom will the old extended rom gets cleared?

Can u please clarify asap

Cheers,

[ratcom]

this upgrade will work on any universal however since the offical imate is now avaiable I would advice you to download that version.

See here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43493

[ratcom]

oh forgot to say that the Extended Roms are freely available on the ftp

[taurus_bull2005]

oh forgot to say that the Extended Roms are freely available on the ftp

Oh, Ok can i update imate rom on dopod 900 , i am actually little scared as i am seeing post's on Uni getting stuck @ Bootloader Etc.

What d u suggest , i am getting 4 days off hence wanted to experiment fully.

BTW how can i take the back up of the existing rom. In case upgrade fails i would like to restore to the original version.

Any suggestions on taking precautions.?

Please guide me.

Cheers,

[ratcom]

This method will work on a dopod 900, However if you dont feel comfortable upgrading your phone then DONT! all I can say is if you follow the instructions you should be aright. As for a backup of your old rom have you tried the ftp site?

[ROBBED666]

Hi All,

I've just had to reload the firmware into my O2 XDA. No problems using the imate beta as discribed above. I then found the latest release of Firmware (JASJAR_WWE_13076_164_10900_wwe_ship)., but when I try to load this it fails stating that I have the wrong 'country code' device.
Any thoughts? also I would like, if possible like to get copy of the O2 firmware so I can, If necessary set the XDA back to its original state.
Does anyone know if this is available for download ?

Thanks

Rob

[hollytree]

you need to use to download and copy MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe into the folder and run that as opposed to the ROMupgrade.exe

[minhle]

[Prerna]

Hi,

Thanks for your detailed procedure.

My aim is to install the latest Qtek ROM in German, and in the ftp, it is only available as an .exe file.

How is it then possible to handle the upgrading with this ROM?

[lifesucks]

I've installed the previous ROM now and it is working perfectly. It's just the new ROM on this page doesn't want to work on my Jasjar.
