Okay, I have a question and a problem. When using Mobile Ugrade Wizard, I try to flash the first image file but I get an error message saying "Bad News: Software cannot be updated." Does this mean the files I'm using are bad?

Also if I were to go with WM2003, would it be the same process as listed here or could I just use Mobile Upgrade Wizard and flash one image file after the other without doing anything else?


It sounds like you have the wrong WM5 ROM

It's against the board guidelines to post the files, or links to them, if they aren't officially supported. The files were never officially released, and thus aren't exactly legal to distribute. We'll help you all we can with the technical aspects of the phone, but you're on your own to find the files of questionable legality. Google makes this very easy.

Is it against the guidelines to send me an email with details to the files or the location where i can find them? Or maybe to PM me?

Thanks

What is the different between Motorola Mobile Upgrade Wizard v. 1.3.0 and Motorola Mobile Upgrade Wizard v. 1.8.3 setup? Which one should be used?

What is the best SD to use in term of capacity and performance? I think 256MB is no enough.

P.S. I took a few weeks to search them .

I was pretty sure the point of a discussion board is to help each other. If it is against the guideline to share something or even just to say where you can get it how is it OK to explain how to use the software. However, i am new here and it is not my place to set rules, i will ask somewhere where memver really want to help.

It is NOT a matter of not be willing to help, it is a matter of NOT wanting to be sued by the various companies that make the software.

You are not going to find anybody else who are willing to post the files you need either, no matter what board you check, it is simply a matter of doing the work yourself and finding the files you need, just like the rest of us.

I do have the file(s) you need because I did a lot of searching and I spent a lot of time trying one file or another.

I was considering posting the file (WM2005.ZIP) on a service where you could download it but being they wanted to charge me $4.95 per month I decided agaist it.

I have some quick questions regarding the WM5 upgrade, I would really appreciate it if you guys could answer them for me

Instructions state that phone must be unlocked. I bought mine in another country and it works fine with any local phone operator. Thus, I assume this must imply that it is sim-unlocked. Right? Are there any other kinds of locks (for example, registry locks) that I should be aware prior to the upgrade?

Moreover, on the same issue, I have read a post that stated that problems may arise if phone has been unlocked by IMEI number instead of by software. As I stated, I bought mine unlocked and thus don't know how it was unlocked. Is it safe to perform a software unlock anyways?

Would SPVUnlock2 be the appropriate program for the above?

Is it ok to upgrade directly from 2002 to WM5?

Is there any way I can create a backup image of my phone in its current state as a failsafe if the upgrade fails?? What application would I use for creating such a backup image of the roms, etc?

My phone is only dual-band. I have seen posts explaining how to flash the last 256kb of the ROM to enable tri-band functionality on 1.8/1.9 AT&T MPx200s. Would I need to do this still if I upgrade in order to enable tri-band? If so, should I do it before the upgrade or after??

Regarding ActiveSync, any special considerations that should be taken into account?? Can I just uninstall 3.6 and then install 4.2 ???

Does upgrade enable MMS automatically??? If not, what must I do to enable MMS, and should I do it before the upgrade or after?

THANKS A MILLION

Already answered it in the other thread. Please don't double post, it isn't necessary. If someone can help you, they will. Thanks.

I have finally got the phone to acceot the update. The problem now is that once all images have been installed i need to remove/replace the battery. Does not work straight away, only after a few hours. After that the phone switched on.

The problem i have now is that whenever i turn off the phone it will not switch itself on untill i wait for a few hours with the battery outside the phone.

Anyone any ideas what to try?

It could be the SD card you're using. WM5 on the MPx200 is really picky about the SD card you use, and can cause problems like this if you are using one it doesn't like.

Maybe we should pin up a thread with contributors listing down the various brands and size of SD or Mini SD cards that will work for the phone?

The one card that I can say with 100% certainty works is the Sandisk 256MB. SD Card, not the Ultra but the plain old Sandisk SD Card.

I have tried a Sandsik 1GB. card in a couple of phones and they have worked fine too.

hey people, i just flashed mines to 2005 with a sandisk ultra II 256mb and its super fast and not sluggish, like some are complaining. I highly recommend using only that card for the upgrade, there is no need for a qtek 8500 unless you need bluetooth and slimness.
