Magician to 1.13 + 1.13 Radio + BigStorage ALL-IN-ONE Guide

[toomuchdogfur]

Hi all,

I'm happy to report that I am another sucessful Magician upgrader after reading all the guides on this site, with a 1.13 Magician + Radio + BigStorage ROM chugging away nicely on my O2 XDA II Mini.

Anyway, I decided to help in what way I can and compile a COMPLETE guide on upgrading the Magician to the highest-level ROM at the moment - the 1.13 ROM + 1.13 Radio, BigStoraged! This guide is basically a compilation of ampda's excellent guide, kta's brief 1.13 + 1.13 Radio guide and this thread here that tells of how to BigStorage hack ROMs on the SD card (instead of having to rip the ROM, hack it, and write it back onto the SD). All of these sources are also credited in the actual PDF .

Why this guide? Because all of the above guides, when combined, make for a quicker way to get 1.13 and BigStorage :P.

Hope someone finds it useful!

EDIT 1st March 2007: Due to the removal of Windows Mobile ROMs of this site (as explained here), the link to the T-Mobile ROM used in this guide no longer works. The removal of said ROMs from this site pretty much outlaws the linking to or distribution of these ROMs, hence I cannot help you find these ROMs either. Sorry . As such, please refrain from posting requests for ROMs on this thread. Do not PM me either asking for ROMs.

For clarity, the BigStorage update gives you a total of 26.72MB in Storage (ROM), with about 1 to 3 MB used up, most likely reserved for the 'Permanent Storage' feature found in Settings (this is not certain). The BigStorage update does not give you more 'Main Memory' (RAM) to use, however you may have more free Main Memory since operator files (eg. IntelliDialer, MMS support) are not automatically installed (as they usually are when your device is first 'Customized' after hard resets).

By the way, the link to the file is located UNDERNEATH THIS LINE. If you don't see a file here, then you're not registered or logged in. You must register and log in to the forum to see any attachments in posts. Please do not PM me about the file not being here unless you have done both of the above! (yep, I've recieved countless PMs on this)

Thanks! Will soon give it a try.

Thank you!

I was also trying to piece it all together through various threads and guides and getting confused by it all.

This guide is exactly what I needed, and it all worked fine.

Glad to help!

EDIT: Nuts, six seconds and I've already found an error Embarassed . Page 2 lists ntrw.exe and romupdate.exe as required, but the link there should be http://members.iinet.net.au/%7Eapmoo...0&%20Files.rar

That's it, I'm giving it a go, and first thing I tried this link, but it does not work.

Hi,

I could eventually manage the bigstorage rom, but no way to change the radio rom.

Your instructions do not mention the possible country error ID (like I'm getting), so I stil got 1.12, and no way to find how to upgrade.

Hi, you will find plenty of files and instructions on this forum. Just do a search with "bigstorage" or simply take a look in the forum "Magician upgrade"

By the way, people are not too helpful, but I was able to find the information after a few hours search:

Just rename the file "HTCRuu.dll" to "Ruu.dll", and launch the "NoID" updater.
