How long to flash a Blue Angel? - Cause I think it's stuck!

I've currently followed the instructions for the 1.31 with Arabic and different radio file because that's exactly same original hardware as my UK O2 XDA IIs.
But I've ran the BaUpgradeUt.exe and it confirmed the version changes, but now it doesn't seem to be doing much.
Phone has gone dark and simply says:
USB
v2.06
And the Upgrade program says: Checking the information on the device please wait.
And a warning not to disconnect it.
Erm this is my first flashing so just a little worried I've toasted my new device :-( I can appreciate it takes a while to transfer 30Mb odd over USB, but it hasn't done anything for almost 10 minutes now :-(
Help please? :-(
Thanks!

And I think I've solved my own problem. Everything you need really is in this forum... somewhere
For everyone else who stumbles over this looking for same thing. I simply took battery out for 30 mins (to flatten backup I assume) and then hard reset it (comes up with serial v2.06 at point you unplug from cradle) and then restarted PC and re-ran update program and SEEMS to be going okay at the moment!

Hi,
I have the O2 XDA IIs just like you too but still with the original ROM. You can get a copy of the original ROM from O2 now off their myxda uk site if there are any problems.
Have you got a step by step guide of how you upgraded to 1.31?
Cheers

Hi,
Take a look at the Wiki site. It has all the info on there. I'm now running a 1.31 main ROM (was originally 1.12), a 1.06.02 radio (originally 1.02 I think) and an extended ROM that is hacked up from Orange's (the network I'm actually on!) as well as my own choice of programs etc. Wiki has all the info! It rocks! Thanks to the guys (and gals?) who write it!

Help updating ROM

Hello, my name is Kc and I'm new to these forums. I just purchased a Siemens SX66 on the Cingular network. I noticed that there is a ROM upgrade of version 1.40. I have looked around these forums for info but I'm not really familiar with the lingo so I'm not making much progress on my own. Can someone please help me to understand how to update my ROM for my SX66?
ROM Version: 1.32.10 WWE
ROM Date : 12/17/04
Radio Vr. : 1.02.10
Protocol Vr. : 1337.35
ExtROM Vr. : 1.32.115 WWE
Model # : PH20B1
Any help would be great, thank you much.

Use the first method.

Still a problem.
First off, thank you TheLastOne, but I'm still having a problem. I tried to install the new Dutch ROM but after I click the update it goes to the next screen telling me what version of stuff I have on my phone then it attempts the update, and then brings up a screen telling me that the country ID is wrong. Did I miss something? Also another question, my display seems to be a little wierd as of late, I have a black boarder around the entire display as if the OS isn't set for the right resolution. Is there a way to make it fit the whole screen?
Thanks again.
~Kc

Figured it out.
Well after a few hours on my phone no longer working I really decided it was time to dig deep and figure it out on my own. I got it up and running with the new Dutch ROM and I'm really happy with it, especially the WiFi, it finds networks much faster now. I have a new question though. I don't use GPRS at all for connecting to the internet, and I have no connections set up. I just want to use WiFi, but I have the annoying 'G' symbol at the top of my PPC. Anyone know of a way for me to get rid of that? Thanks for making this site, and thanks to all the people who contribute. I'm a software developer and you can expect some releases for PPC now that I have one myself.

help with upgrade
its seem that you learn fast so please help me
i also own a cingular sx66 where can i download the dutch rom and how you skip the contry id problem many thank

Did you miss the 2nd post in this thread, seems to have worked for SmearedBlackInk

for mr nobody sunrise swiss
r u missing your mind in the second post it only 1.40 upgrade and not the dutch rom ?????????????
so next time check your post and dont be rude
israel

I'll try to explain
Well it's going to be hard to explain. I used a mix of method 1 and 2 on the page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.40.00_Upgrade
The ROM I used can be downloaded here:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_DT_WWE_DutchRetail_14000_556_11300_Ship.zip
I tried to use method 1 but it just kept giving me a country ID error, so I nuked my ROM, then tried to install using method 2, but it kept stoping halfway through. I mixed my files a bit and used method 1 and some files from method 2 to form a new install folder and voila it worked.
Wow, I just read that and it doesn't really help at all does it.
I think the real trick is just to wipe your ROM before installing. I'd back it up first though, because it's kind of scary when your phone just sits in serial or usb mode and that's it. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

more help
first many thank for all the links
i change the deviceid=1 and pass the first rom but in the second he stuck
and still give me country error can u help me how u mix the two option
israel

Read wiki. Method one says to download the ROM you want, follow by MaUpgradeUt_noID.ZIP. Unzip MaUpgradeUt_noID.ZIP into your ROMs folder, and run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe twice and presto...

yop
yes its work many thank as it look a lot better on my first feeling the
wi-fi improve and also the radio bt
hope some more improvement will come in

Can't download MaUpgradeUt_noID.ZIP
broken link???

Sorry my powers are failing me, did you have a link in mind or was this a general why does not somebody search the whole of the site (as in all posts as well as the ftp site and wiki) to work out which link to that file does not work.

ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/Tools/MaUpgradeUt_noID.zip
broken link???

Well not for me, link works fine, opens up a save file dialog.

I get connection refused whilst trying to connect to....

Unplugged router, connected pc directly to modem, worked fine then!

How are you doing this?
Are you in a ftp program and if so have you logged on with the correct user/pwd.
Are you just clicking the link and you firewall software is refusing the download?
Its a problem on your side, the link works fine for me, as is, as posted by you.
PS do you need an answer in the other thread as well?

Debranded MDA Compact II ROM, 'Qtek' Style

now obsolete
new aku2 here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279908

so am i right in presuming that the gprs settings and phone settings are present in the rom? if not, how do we find them?
ALSO:
T-Mobile are releasing a rom update this month (ie this coming week!) so it might be worth looking at what they have done, not just for wifi fix but any other maintenence changes. Apparently they do alot of testing on their roms so there might be useful stuff there.

t-mobile gprs and wap settings are part of the extended rom. the 3 cabs files that begin CAB-Customization-...
i didnt include them as i'm on O2. This is more like a 'Qtek' version for the charmer, a universal version. doesnt include any operator specfic content.
looking forward to that update, hopefully its aku2, everyone else is releasing theres at the moment.

SDIO
What about SDIO drivers in this debranded OS?

so if i back up my current rom cabs and then install this, if it all goes pearshaped, i can relaod the origional and not end up with an expensive paperweight?
i wanna do the deed, but am scared as hell with it being my first PPC and only a few weeks old at that.
but anything to speed it up, its like im running windows or something.......
oh!
:wink:

only way you could mess up is if you pull the plug or have a power cut! while uploading the new os. remember to backup all your contacts and stuff as you'll need to hard reset.
you can start all over again if it doesnt boot or something by using the install package on the t-mobile site
http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/download_manager_mda_com2.html
just go into the phones bootloader, with the phone off, hold down camera and plug in the sync cable until the 3 color boot screen comes up and run the install package to go back to factory.

It worked!!
Dear dave106 and all;
i tried your fantastic upgrade yesterday. This was my experience:
1- I works like charm!
2- you might find it easier to use Total commander to uncheck 'system' and 'read-only' in the properties of the windows folder on your charmer, before Unlocking CID (to avoid any error).
3- alternatively you might use Lockiwiz 2b from this forum to unlock and unlock CID first.
4- the ROM upgrade went fine, showed some error messages on the charmer screen (nothing to worry about) but did not indicate an end. I unplugged it after 20 minutes. It rebooted on itself et voila, it was up and running.
5- Changing the boot scrren went very smoothly.
6- I noted that the T-mobile customization (after the new config.txt) did not install at all. I had to manually install the CAB listed in the config.txt file to reload the MMS and GPRS settings.
But now my charmer has no T-mobile crap on it...
However, i did not notice any dramatic change in speed....

Ill check your unbraded rom for wifi sdio capabilities over the next few days (on a 'just in case' basis). I'm just recovering from a totally borked pagefile on my main pc so ive been too busy to try as of yet.

thats a wizard, so you can just cid unlock it and install the imate or qtek wizard roms. the mda compact 2 is unique to t-mobile no other operator has it.

aeh....your sentence sounds strange to me, is it possible for my device or not ?

try it now, some tit nuked the uploads again

Got the Rom Working, the difference is quite noticable. Re wrote the extended ROM to auto customise just enough to get the MMS and GPRS to work correctly. Did any one work out if a WiFi card SD card will now work?
Would like to know before i buy one!

aWizard not reconizing os.nba
Hi,
have followed instructions as above but when I go to write new rom it can't find os.nba.
Anyone have any ideas on what i'm doing wrong or what to do next?
I'm a noob, obviously :roll:

RUU Fails since i upgraded to a WM6 ROM?

Hi everyone,
First and foremost, let me introduce myself, I am known as wizzkidd (a name that often is used against me at times like these). Aged 27 from London, UK. I'm a typical mod-freak, modding anything and everything possible from PSP's to Wii's to Cable TV etc etc.
Anyway, I've got a SPV M700 (aka HTC P3600) branded on Orange UK running Windows Mobile 5, and everthing works fine. I found this wonderful site when I was researching into the amazing additions and power of Windows Mobile 6.
To my amazement, I soon realised it would be possible to upgrade to WM6, so off I went reading through the forum....
To start with I realised I needed to perform a CID Unlock (and whilst at it, I done the SIM Unlock too) before I could proceed. I done this perfectly fine.
I then found the first ROM that looked impressive as it was based on WM6 and had a bundle of goodies baked within it. (im learning the terminology too, hehe), it was a PDAViet ROM (latest to date)... I followed the instructions and hey presto, my phone was a fancy WM6 version with loads of impressive goodies installed.
After search for more stuff here, I found loads of interesting stuff. But firstly I decided to install the Hard-SPL into my phone for my own protection when doing future ROM flashes.
What caught my eye was the Touch Flo stuff, so I wanted it. Searching through the threads and the progress in development, I soon found a Wizard ROM that includes Touch Flo, and based on user suggestions and feedback, I decided to go for NBD v7.4.
My problem:
- (currently running PDAViet ROM: 02.07.06.PV and have Hard-SPL integrated)
- I double click on the "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe"
- I tick the "I understand...." and the "I Completed the steps..." boxes
- (the USB cable is connected and ActiveSync 4.5 detects the connection fine)
"Verifying the information on your PDS Phone..." displays for about 4 seconds...
The RUU displays the current information about my phones image, and has a "Update" button to click to update the current ROM version, so I click it...
The RUU displays some verify checks such as
FROM
model ID: ""
image version: "02.07.06.PV"
Language: ""
TO
model ID: "Wizard"
Image Version: ""
Language: "WWE"
I click next twice... the phone boots into the Hard bootloader (SPL-1.20.Olipro) and the USB connection disconects and then reconnects at this point (i can tell this by the audio sounds), the RUU displays the progress bar at 0% and nothing happens, the screen on the M700 stays on the bootloader screen, and the RUU stays on 0% - this lasts for about 15 seconds, then the RUU says "ERROR [264]: CONNECTION, and gives me the option of clicking the "Recovery" button, doing so, and following the instructions, leads to a final message saying: "Error recovery has been successful and the update process is ready to resume. Exit recovery and run the RUU again."... I try running the RUU again, and im back to sqyare one again!
I've even tried using the Soft-SSL (by Des), but the progess bar stays at 0% and the bootloader stays on the screen.
What could be wrong?
PS Thanks for reading and thanks for your patience if you've got this far. lol

Don't flash a wizard rom onto a trinity rom. Only flash trinity roms. That's like trying to flash moto razr firmware on it. Not meant to insult, just telling. I hope your device isn't bricked.

what you're doing wrong is flashing a Wizard Rom on your phone. There's a reason that the forum is divided in to different sections for different phones.
Think of it this way.. would you put a Wii mod on your PSP? you're lucky that the RUU has saved you from carrying around an expensive brick.. read a little more.. flash a little less..

Ohh I see, I didnt realise 'Wizard' was a different model name, I assumed it was a Wizard in the sense of an 'Easy Install For All...' type ROM, (ie If you was to use a wizard when creating a chart in an excel spreadsheet, catch my drift).
My bad for mis inturpreting what a 'Wizard ROM' was. Ooops. Well, my device still operates pefectly fine anyway.
Do you know anywhere I can get a stable version of Touch Flo for my device? Preferably cooked in a ROM, because I used a alpha version of the Touch Flo .cab file, and I had nothing but problems.
Thanks

there are no trinity ROM's to my knowledge with touch flo built in... should be coming soon now that official Dopod WM6 ROM is out... keep an eye on the trinity mobile 6 forum (and not on the Wizard forum haha)

lol. OK.
I noticed you're using the same ROM as me at the moment. Have you tried installing the Touch Flo (Alpha) cab file and managed to get it working by anychance? (eg. No black screen)

didn't work for me. I couldn't really be bothered to mess with it too much as people have such varied results. Someone will cook it in to a ROM before long. Look out for mun's Indigo ROM.. he said he'd put it in.

Need HELPPPP plzzz

You have to use SoftSPL, you can get it HERE
In this folder, you copy the "nk.nbf" of your favourite WM6 (and only this file), then start with "START-sSPL.exe" (make sure you're connected via ActiveSync).
When you read this here before, you know everything you need!

Probably you are not following the instructions and doing it correctly,try to go according to the guide,if it still doesn't work,it sometimes happens that SoftSPL fails,than you better do it through 'HardSPL'
