Someone said this rom can work on magician, but this is not proved.[/url]

[seth2006]

Could you explain how to load the flash.dio file onto the magician?

[Hatydu]

people try it out and make it work.I trying to keep posting reply to keep it on top of the recent activity so that more & more people . see it and try it out and atleast we can use it as wm5 pda in our free time . and bluetooth and radio will also work.let's hope so . i cannot afford to spend another around $800 dollars(inr 32-35000) for a while and there will be lot more people like me there are hordes of people who are still with magician .otherwise wm2003 se provides everything . persistent storage is useful, push mail is overhyped I wonder if somebody would miss anything if they direct email client to check email on their own on their pop3 account every minutes . I do it with flexmail 2007 trial and phone alarm trial cuts in automatic 3 minutes

C'Mon people once the most and still most beautiful PDA phone because the prophet and hermes( with lot of buzz because of umts,hsdpa, ) still continue on the same design lines. The phone which which made ladies at home also taking kindly to the PDAs phone and which stopped making people feel embarrased about holding the brick to their ear and talking , IS IN SERIOUS NEED of attention for it's survival trying to get to WM5 and there is possibility now , a real possibility .

[max414]

come on people it will be a milestone

[Hatydu]

Hey Cxh, share your experience .Did you flashed the on your magician or is it a hearsay

[chxh]

I saw from http://bbs.pdafans.com/thread-256498-1-1.html,

[MocciJ]

keep the post up!! I'm downloading the ROM file right now: but from the size I can presume that it will be a CE rom only..

but 262k colors.. hmm.. will it be fully compatible?? :?

[seth2006]

Im in, been trying to find a way to load the rom on the magician, no luck till now. I´ve seen acer uses flash.dio file but the magician doesnt. Also looked at the file and compared it with the nk.nbf and and nk.nb1 file in hexedit, cant seem to find a way to boot the magician with this rom. Hope u guys having better luck.

[JamesManios]

Did anyone ever get this file and if yes can they upload it to the FTP here?

http://dl2.it168.com/smart/rom/e850/060811.rar

This file was supposed to have an executable for transfering flash.dio

There are enough differences in this hardware (the e850) that it doesn't seem likely to work? If anyone actually got it going can they post pictures.

MiniSD - so I'm guessing the JAM SD will not work, (different driver)
Xscale - cpu is running slower, either lower bus or cpu multiplier, (overclocking might fix that)
Colors - since the LCD can do 262K this might actually work!

[MocciJ]

http://dl2.it168.com/smart/rom/e850/060811.rar

I'm downloading it right now!! I use shareaza.. lol but is an incredibly slow connection (5KB/s) 8) I will post on ftp as soon as I get it, maybe tomorrow.. :wink:

EDIT: I'm downloading even the one without installer: with the flasher is 32.12MB, without is 31.95..

keep the hope up!!

MocciJ

[MocciJ]

downloaded!! but I can't find out how to upload to the ftp.. permission denied!! :(

Anyway, I give it a look.. the flash is pretty incomprensible!! I'll post it here, along with the files missing in the flash.dio only package :wink:

MocciJ

[MocciJ]

http://bbs.pdafans.com/thread-256498-1-1.html anyone interested can translate from chinese (or what is it) to italian what they are saying?? For what I can understand, there many 99%, even a 1%, many sceptical, but don't really know if they made it.. :( nobody interested anyway?? Guys this is Windows Mobile 2005 on our magician!!

I'm too scared to try flash myself..

MocciJ

[ruslan81]

I'm happy to help, but don't know how :(

[NashXDA]

Man to be honest i wud have expected more enthu from u guys [Magician Owners]
Anyways some1 shud try Translating it.. and also PM buzz

[JamesManios]

I already PM'ed Buzz on buzzdev.net and he replied that he would look into it. Unfortunately I think most of the people "in the know" may have moved onto other devices. Who did BigStorage? Someone should contact him as well.

I ran the executable with the flash.dio in a vmware, but the executable is also in a foreign language, so if anyone can translate that would be VERY helpful.

NashXDA: Have you tried flashing your device yet? I can't bring myself to pull the trigger without being able to read anything.

[Hatydu]

just keeping the post up

[seth2006]

I´ve tried flashing the flash.dio file with the software mentioned above. It doesnt seem to detect the phone. More help and info is needed...

Mate I just cant figure thinks out..and i Think u guys shud wait till we figure everything out ..Its important we figure everything out before we can Make the step to WM5 none of us wud like to see a Brick ya? Lets see wat buzz says and i gonna try And findout who the Father of the Bigstorage is and PM him..Its vital that we try hard to keep this topic running. Just Imagine -Magician wit WM5 we wud have the latest OS a really fast Processor, HTC Quality,The slim ass size..Man i might just sell my King

[JamesManios]

I was able to read the site...

http://bbs.pdafans.com/thread-256498-1-1.html

using babelfish on Chinese-Simplied

http://babelfish.altavista.com/

.... its is pretty readable/followable... Unfortunately the 99% and the 1% comments were about 99% being fake and the 1% for the small window of hope...

There wasn't information about HOW to run the update, it mostly talks the same way we are talking..."wow, this is big news", "we need the experts/masters to look at this", "waiting for news..." etc... :-(

[NashXDA]

Thanks James ..lets wait and see wat happens now...

[andrew_sh]

hello guys,
I flashed the phone using the amoia rom but it doesn't work.

What I did:
Added a header
Encrypted it with nbfdec
flashed it.

Sorry guys

[NashXDA]

Ohh...Thanks Andrew Did it load at all?

[NashXDA]

HP iPAQ Pocket PC rx1955 - proof that we meet the requirement in trems of RAM only some one some where wud just release a PDA similar to the Magician wit Wm5

[andrew_sh]

Ohh...Thanks Andrew Did it load at all?
No, not at all - Blank Screen.
Of course I'm not an expert, I could have done something wrong.

[NashXDA]

No Offence mate but i hope u did :lol: :lol:

[JamesManios]

Ok, so has anyone actually gotten this to work... or know of a site where someone posted that it worked, or a picture/video of it working or anything...

I would assume that someone got it to work because they knew that the radio would not work afterwards but I've never actually seen anyone show evidence to that affect. Looking at the flash.dio file is doesn't look like a regular HTC one, I wonder if the memory locations for flashing would even line up?

I’m starting to lose faith, again…. :-(

I think one thing we SHOULD do is rename/restart this topic to something a little more interesting/sexy like

"WM5 Finally on a JAM"

That would cause some more interest!

[MocciJ]

I'm thinking the same thing.. What if ROM get messed up?? Otherside, the *.dio format isn't a big problem, 'cuz we have the correct flasher for it (luckily) ;)

For this topic name: I would prefer the name as is, is a lot more professional and it's self explanatory :)

I really want to put my hands on a WM5 device.. and if it's just not as great as we thought?? sincerely, I'm very happy with my 2003SE that run flawlessly, what with wm5?? :shock:

lol

MocciJ

[NashXDA]

Changing the Tittle cud help but with so many post teasing the release of WM5 for Magician it might be ignored...But we need to keep trying and posting here...Iam giving it a try again

[studiovpc]

guys any news, progress?

[NashXDA]

I will need more time..

[jowl_tnt]

NashXDA? Are u testing on it? any news?? :roll:

[jowl_tnt]

Can Gsmart's ( http://www0.uk.shopping.com/xPF-Gigabyte_g_Smart ) firmware be usefull for ours magician-wm5 upgrade?
Has the same CPU and 64mb of ram + rom... :roll:

[NashXDA]

Mate im not personally testing it...getting tested by some of my Tech frndz here to see the possibility...they r workin on it has we speak

They r loads of 64-64 devices but its not that easy..I was really hoping Buzz wud take some interest too.

By the looks of it they are very few of us interested

I will let u know if there is a break thru...Very little time thanks to by boss

One thing i wud need are Numbers..Number of u guys in need of it

[Andy4life]

if all the magician's features work u can definately vote me in, i wish i had WM5... :(

[JamesManios]

Well I'm in :wink:

As for numbers, show them how many people have looked at this link....

http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=24965&highlight=magician+wm5

(at the time of this article 132 replies, and 70,624 reads) so there is lots of interesting in getting WM5 on the JAM. Think of the glory of finally proving that post wrong :o

I had setup an FTP for Buzz to get the files, but I don't think he did, hopefully he will eventually look at it as well, the more eyes on this project the better. :cry:

[jowl_tnt]

Of course, I'm in too... :wink:

[Hatydu]

Another one

[DronK]

I`m glad to help you. :wink:

[MocciJ]

WINDOWS 2005!! I WANT IT :lol: :lol: :lol:

[fomalhaut]

Hi guys, no news?

[MocciJ]

No news at all... No interests by the major programmers.. think we re going into a dead end :roll: but I still wait the message that claims wm5 for magician :wink:

MocciJ

[unlockMe]

What you guys seem to loose from sight is that bringing Windows Mobile 5.0 to the Magician would bring no money to these companies, unless they charge you a few for that.

Would you pay $100 for the upgrade? And if you do so, would the cost and effort to port WM5 to the Magician would be worth the effort for them I don't think so.

These companies are in the business to make money not to please the user base.

Sorry to drop your hopes but I don't think you'll ever get WM5 loaded onto your device you'd better face that reality and move on to a new device.

um

[whitemoo]

exactly, i actually didnt want WM5.0 on my device, mainly because FPSE hasnt released a WM5 yet. They will soon though, and from the vids ive seen, it looks really good.

Why dont we focus on something more feasible... bring Linux onto this device!.
whitemoo.

[munzab]

how about for a qtek s110 with 128mb rom?

[docnas]

im in for it man would love to see WM5

[jfrm]

Is somebody working with this?

...
....
.....
......
UP

[websinister]

still hoping....:cool:

[macrohard]

I have loaded it to my dopod818, but failed to boot. It stuck in the bootloader screen.
Now I have loaded the WM2003 back to my dopod818.
What I did is
1. replace the first 416 bytes with my backup rom.
2. load it by the SD card.
3. failed.:(

[websinister]

you can reflash your ROM by using the bootloader and the original T-Mobile ROM to restore it back to Win2k3SE...

[macrohard]

Thanks. I did so, and now my PDA works well with the original system.
The only problem I met during the roll-back actions was that the battery power is too low to read the SD card, and it even could not go into bootloader.
Luckly, I have found a way to charge my battery and then everything were OK.:D

[josefreita]

I am very interested on seeing this project finixed,you can caunt me in for wm5 or wm6 on my qtek s100.
Thanks ... hoope there are good news soon.

[lmingsoft]

i have to download e850 wm5 rom and to try,but dont succeed.

[metalbug]
