[lanuk79]

i downloaded this file BB_Firmware_MDACompact_11300_121_11200 from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Magician. can this file be used to updtae my ROM to 1.13 on the O2 XDA II mini? i have a 1.12.00 WWE ROM and 1.12.00 Radio version. when i run the program it says device update software utility.

Most likely. Try running the upgrade outright first, and if it fails follow a tutorial to install the ROM.

yeah. will try doing that. but will take a backup of my rom first so that i can revert back to it if anything goes wrong. thnks anyways

i just updated my ROM using BB_Firmware_MDACompact_11300_121_11200. got the country id error. used ampda tutorial to fix that error and everything went fine! phone upgraded to 1.13 ROM and 1.12 radio. but the date was in dutch!! didnt really like that so used sprite backup to revert back to a backup file which i created before i flashed the ROM. now i have the latest ROM with all my programs but a very different ExtROM folder. very few files in it!! but the phone seems to work fine n it has all my earlier programs. keeping my fingers crossed.. hope nothing goes wrong!!

Did you use the GetUpgradeData util to capture the .sbu of your old ROM? By doing so you will ensure a smooth restore to your new ROM, see the Sprite FAQ "Restoring after ROM upgrade.." for easy step by step instructions with screens:

actually i didnt!! just backed up using my executable sprite back up file. also the said utility is for a smartphone n not a pocket pc. atleast thats what the faq says. also m running windows mobile 2003 SE and not 2005. guess its not for 2003 SE. anyways nothing seems wrong with my phone. all the programs work fine.

Well if it anit broke then why fix it! Upgrade mode is available in Sprite Backup 2.1 for smartphone, if you search the faqs for your WM version then there will be a corresponding FAQ with a link the the correct Upgrade data utility :)
