Need original ROM-Image for MDA Compact 2

[Bundy]

I've tried another rom image for my mda compact 2 and now my mdac2 does'nt start any more.
I have tried several rom-images (for compact, atom, ewtc..), but I can install no one .
On the T-Mobile Homepage there is no Image for the MDAc 2.

Can anyone help me ?

[Bundy]

I only come to the bootloder screen (red - green - blue).
I need a rom-image, that i can start from the bootloader.

thx

Try this link from TMO UK http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/download_manager_mda_com2.html

Success, M

I've already tried this, and it starts updating but then comes the message :

ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID
THis Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone.....


Maybe I have to unlock the CID first ?

But can I unlock the CID with the aWizard, when the Comp.2 is in the Bootloader mode (red-gree-blue) ?

Ouch,

Yes the cid-unlock will be needed :-( Can't you fix the RUU.conf or something simular with a first line like checkid=1 ? I've read about it on the board & seems to work for magician. & there's some tool like MaUpgradeUT_noid for the wizard too, but I don't remember whether that is awizard :-(

You're almost of to the shop isn't it.

BTW when you unzip the shipped-rom, do you get all kinds of nbf files. & Do they all start with the same word when you open them in hexeditor? I use nbfdec to decode them to a 'normal' file which can be edited, then you could be able to fix the header of the nb1 encode it again & try to update your device.

& have you tried some of these tools ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/DumpROM/

In the unzipped folder is no file like RUU.conf.

Only RUU.dll and RUUREsource.dll

There are following files in the folder

EnterBootloader.exe
nk.nbf
README.doc
ROMUpdateUtility.xex
RUUGetInfoi.exe
RUUResource.dll
RUU.dll


And I've downloaded " nbfdec " , but I can not start this program.

I think i have to reboot my computer.

un zip all the files from the t-mobile package

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Roms/Wizard_RomUpgradeUtility_noID.rar

download this and unrar and overwrite in the same folder.

connect up the phone in bootloader to pc and run the ..._NoID.exe

as theres no activesync connection it will pause for a bit on the checking existing rom but still let you carry on

ignore the picture of the wizard, just make sure your installing the right nk.nbf for the compact 2

[Bundy]

I've exactly done what you said, the update ended with 100 % and now the device starts until the bootloader-screen (red-green-blue).

Have I done something wrong ?

What has happened ?

That's the one I was referring to, thanks.

Bundy did you reset afterwards?

[Bundy]

Yes, I did a Hardreset, a Softreset , but I only get to the picture with the 3 colors.

IPL 1.12
SPL 2.15

[oltp]

I'm terribly sorry, but we've ran out of my knowlegde of the MDA Compact II. So besides the usual question: have you ran the update a second time, for me this would be warranty issue.

Hope Dave is worth more.

Good luck, M

[Bundy]

Yes , I have done the update a second time, but with the same effect - the device only starts in the three-color-screen.

So I think I can do nothing more ....
