I see all these posts of o2, Qtek etc updates to radio rom etc etc but never any mention of T-Mobile updates even ringing them to find out where updates are or maybe comes back with a blank.
Do any of you know where these are or maybe if any are ever developed
Many thanks
T-Mobile is trouble.. I also have the T-mobile MDA III and have flashed it with the normal qtek ROM. It's just taking to long. They say there will be an update (t-mobile germany has released one) But the rest not.
I think it will take at least a month if not more for an update.

T-Mobile Blackberry ROM Upgrade

As far as I know it leaves the unit in German though - not sure if its possible to reflash into English.

I found that one with a Google, but as for leaving it in German for sad old me who only speaks english I don't think I'll be taking that chance searched the UK site high and low nothing why are we always the last to get anything ?
To be honest with you, T-Mobile are probably just sitting waiting for a stable rom to come out.
Despite the numerous releases by Q-tek, Imate et al, it would appear that you still have to run an abundance of patches on top of the rom to get to a semi-decent state.
O2 have only released one patch thus far, a bluetooth one which seems to solve some issues, but not all.
Problem is the numerous different suppliers. If it was one product and wasnt rebadged or branded or anything, then we could probably set up a pressure group to get something done about it.
I take it T-Mobile UK arent helping? If not, then email them weekly for updates, thats what I intend on doing with O2.

Might be a good idea but when ringing them no one has a glue I have fixed the BT issues with the I-mate fix and that now works perfectly but with new roms out from other people I'm sure us T-Mobile UK people are feeling left out

Bugger - much better than the 5mb you get with O2
CarlnAdele,
You say you backed up before applying the German ROM, does that mean you have a backup of the UK T-Mobile MDA III ROM? If so I would be greatly in your debt if you could provide a copy!
Kind Regards, waiting in hope, JDH

Yes I have a backup on my PC, basically I used the Backup ROM to SD Card method detialed here http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=151&PN=1
Which means when you copy it back to your pc using http://www.tamiminet.com/othman/ntrw.exe its the size of your memory card which in my case is 1Gb I could write this to DVD and post it to you.
Or if anyone knows how I can convert this to the .nb1 or what ever I'd be happy to do that and upload it.
Fantastic!
If you don't mind, could you compress the file with WinRAR or similar to see how big is it? if it's a reasonable size < 200mb I would be more than happy to provide a download site or perhaps it could be put onto the FTP for this forum? (although I'm not sure how that would be done)
Cheers, JDH

I'll have a go tonight but its unlikely to compress that far, I'd do it now but I cant get to the drive its on at home from work where I am now.
So we still wait on an appropriate Tmobile UK MDAIII ROM
In spite of the now famous BA_WWE_BelDT_12200_557_10602_SHIP.exe ROM file using the BaUpgradeUt.exe bat file upgrader software in conjunction with the GetDeviceData.exe modification software to input the proper switches for T-mobile UK MDAIII devices, we are better off waiting for more stable hacks or even official releases in order to solve the BT and other problems? And I just now was getting to a point where I thought the fixes were at hand. Oh well, any advice garnered through experience would prove valuable as gold here. Cheers, guys...
Willfarr,
I have applied most of the ROM updates as they have appeared on the forum and happily they seem to have helped; particularly with the low level mic issue.
The only reason I'm after the original ROM is that reading elsewhere on the board it seems that only the earlier batches of MDA IIIs (such as mine) have the yellow hue screen issue. As such, I got in touch with T-mobile and they have agreed to replace it under warranty, I just don't want to send it back with a hacked ROM in case they notice and refuse to replace it!
If you're having any software issues such as the mic problem it's probably worth trying the updates, just make a backup first!

Just uploading the zipped file now
ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/MDAIII/XDAIIs.zip
You also know you'll need a 1Gb SD Card don't you and this program I have also uploaded
ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/MDAIII/ntrw.exe
And to write the uncompressed zip file back to the card you do the following:
Type ntrw write XDAIIs.nb1 E: (using a dos windows where "E:" is your drive letter for the SD Card

Hi
I have used an XDA 1 up until recently and loved it. I used a wired GPS with tomtom3 and it worked well.
I asked O2 which one I should buy. XDA IIs or IIi based on the fact I wanted Wi_Fi and to use wireless GPS with tomtom3. The support guy said 'go for IIi as it's the latest and best, supporting bluetooth for tomtom'.
I ordered the IIi and a 1 year contract from O2. It arrived and I unpacked it and low and behold, it would not install with tomtom3. 'Unkown System Architecture' was the error. I spoke with TomTom and they said IIi is not supported, only the II and IIs..... Great :?
I now either wait to see if TomTom3 add IIi to their compatible list OR i revert to the IIs. This is my question... Should I wait, or go for the IIs?
I must say for the record though.... I am impressed with the IIi and Wi-Fi but general build quality is dissapointing. The software is buggy and the camera is utterly useless and quite simply not worth using on the camera. It gives black images which are just useless. The build of the actual phone is tinny and the battery duration is terrible. Compared to my XDA, the phone runs out rapidly.
Bit of a nightmare now as I dont know whether I am better off waiting for IIi to be supported or exchange for the IIs.
??????? DOH!
:roll:
anybody tried both?
I'd send it back to O2 under the 14 Day Money Back and get yourself an XDA IIs, I run BT TomTom 3 on my XDA IIs works a treat even without the Broadcom Patch.
Although to use a BT Headset I needed the Patch.
Good Luck
Bluetooth
Thanks nixonm
I'm certainly considering it... I have 7 days left to decide... Just seems a shame to not have the latest one, although I actually prefer the look of the black IIs.
I have heard the bluetooth is slightly intermittent on the IIs, although the specs look the same on my-xda.com.
I assume you dont find this to recommend the IIs. Are you running this with the tomtom bluetooth GPS receiver?
I am using a Fortuna ClipOn Bluetooth GPS, had no problems connecting it to the XDA IIs.
Had loads of problems with my Motorola HS810 bluetooth headset, until I installed the Bluetooth patch from the FTP site.
The lastest ROM release just released by O2 fixes this also.
I looked at the O2 XDA IIi too, but it's slightly wider & taller, no keyboard and silver, plus the TomTom issues.
im running tomtom navigator 3 fine on my xda2i with a bt gps - i've not seen that problem you are having.
fyi my rom versions...
rom version 1.10.00 WWE
dated 12/24/04

Very interesting! I have been speaking with TomTom themselves and they said it wasn't on their compatability list. I tried installing TomTom3 and it warned of Unknown Architecture. I even tried the 3.07 upgrade installer which tomtom provided and they wouldnt work. My ROM versions are identical to yours.
I am happy with what you have said though as it gives me some hope to get it running on the IIi. I will try re-installing once again on the IIi.
Thanks
if it helps, I havent tried anything newer than ttn3 version 3.02 - was going to try the 3.07 update later today. I'll get a pic of it running on my 2i up somewhere when i get a chance so you know im not making it up !!
good luck !
malty
hope im ok uploading pics.... please delete if not. Excuse the mucky greenhouse .. its not mine
Cheers for that maltloaf
I didn't disbelieve you anyway, but those images will help me when dealing with TomTom as you clearly have it running. I did think it was odd how the IIs used the same OS as IIi, but mine just doesn't like the install.
I am going to try a hard reset to factory conditions and then re-install.
Cheers for your info.
I also have TT3 3.02 on my XDA2i, in one car i use a cradel with a wired GPS and in my car i use a leadtek Bluetooth all with no problems, but i did try the 3.07 and it stoped working, ( ithink i know why that is tho )
John
I also have the TomTom V3 with bluetooth working on my XDA IIi works great, better that running it on XDA IIs.
My advice would be to stick to the XDA IIi.
>>>>DANGER<<<<
Allways stay away from the XDA IIs!!!
It is hazardous to your wallet! :lol:
>>>>DANGER<<<<
Wheaaah! Success!
FINALLY..... It works!
I re-installed from another disc using 3.03 and once again it warned me stating that this version of windows was un-supported and might not display properly :? However, I ingnored it and installed the UK maps and then the 3.07 upgrade. It worked!
BONUS>>> I now have it operational with Bluetooth so I am pleased.
Thanks for your help and comments.

hi all
i posted this over at buzzdev.net but don't seem to be getting any takers :-( sorry for cross posting but perhaps someone here has some clues.....
i got given a t-mobile mda-pro last week which is now unlocked and orange UK branded (my home network) thanks to buzz's perfect timing! the radio rom version with the latest orange package is 1.03 so obviously i'm tempted by one of the 1.09 ones held on his site.
could somebody tell me the difference between the three available ie. JASJAR ITA 1.30.81 169 1.09.00 ITA ship ROM, JASJAR ME 1.30.82 171 10900 WWE ship ROM and JASJAR SA 1.30.82 170 1.09.00 WWE ship ROM. which one might be the best bet for using with orange uk.
also will i lose the orange settings (which seem to be working just fine for me) or the push email update which their rom has. should i expect better signal levels with a different radio rom or is that down to the hardware. at the moment my mda/m5000 seems to need a pretty strong signal (gsm) to work.
thanks in advance and sorry for the long post - as i said, new to this cheers!
sihaz
I've just changed mine from the Orange ROM to 1.09.00 - 3G seems a lot better now and the battery life has improved a hell of a lot. All I upgraded was the Radio, no settings were affected (As far as I've been able to tell) and the whole process was quite easy As for possible differences between the 3 versions... FIIK!
what about the new dopod 1.11.00 ROM? anyone experience with that?

Hello to All
I have seen many people search for the answer to the question I have, does our MDA CIII have WLAN or not?
There is an extensive thread on that topic, with no real conclusion, so i thought i open a new one, and throw some new ideas and questions into the room.
First of all:
I own a Arte110 i was one of the first ones to get it in Austria, i bought it right when it hit T-mobile stores on the 02.11, back then the Austrian webpage advertised it has WLAN, the German webpage never claimed that, so when i was standing in the store i asked once more, and the guy said no WLAN, in that moment i didnt think much, since the device was very nice, and there was no alternative for me, since my other phones was stollen a couple of days before, and i was in a hurry to get a new mobile.
Well now i do miss WLAN, and i am trying everything to get to it
I checked the dutch page yesterday, it still says WLAN, can it be that T-mobile doesnt supply some of its biggest markets (German, Austria) without WLAN, but it does so in the Dutch market. It doesnt even make sense to buy two different pieces of HArdware when they order in masses.
SO how come we dont get WLAN and they do! And seemingly some dutch friends have confirmed their devices have WLAN. I am planing to confront T-mobile Austria on that and see what they say, did any one do that already?
Further i tried talking up HTC, but they didnt help much, told me to go talk to t-mobile.
Now a question to the technical guys around, being an Electronic Engineer myself, i am very interested in playing around to get this WLAN mystery solved, so i am in the search of following things:
a. Any one take one of these things appart?
b. Any way to get our hands on infromation concearing wireing, chipsets, and the inside of the device? I found this italian website which had a block diagram of the new HTC 4000-something model, it would be nice to have something like that for our MDA, would solve many questions.
c. What type of USB does our device have, is it client only or does it also support host? if so we would work out an external solution! That would be great if it would support host function, specialy for all other kind of applications.
d. Any idea where we could get such info from
Thanks to all
And dont give up until we have a prove that the Hardware for WLAN is missing in our devices!
The extensive thread you refer to has most of the answers to your questions, I think, on the penultimate page. The outfit who unlocked the phone said it wasn't an Artemis model (the United Kingdom MDAIII enquired about and similar to the German/Austrian I believe) but a Hero and it didn't have wireless lan.
They also said the Artemis and Hero looked cosmetically identical but were different inside...
I must admit that I find it strange that the Dutch went for the Artemis model and the others the Hero. You would have thought that the entire European operation would have made a bulk purchase.
well i have still no information on the USB?

Hi
Nice to see your replies. But i still havent seen any answer to my most important question:
IS THE USB ON THE MDAC III a full USB OR ONLY CLIENT? i have not seen an answer in any of the forums, thanks

Afaik it's client only... though I'm not completely sure.
We should really find out, cuz if its a full functioning USB, one could try getting a WLAN to work on it externally.
I must say i still have hopes of having the hardware inside...these dutch people, why do they get WLAN? i dont understand. They should help us out with a ROM...it would be redicoulus if T-mobile only supplied them with WLAN (no offense i like holland, but still this gets me mad)
I will contact T-mobile tomorrow and have a word with them!
If the USB is only a client, how is hte antenna recognized via USB?
I don't think, that the antenna has to be recognized as a "Device"... It is just a cable, that is connected to the right Pins in the USB Connector. A normal FM Radio surely does not recognize the Antenna as a device, almost any cable can do the job if connected to the Antenne Input of the Radio....At least i'd say
ok explanation taken...i was hoping for a bit more hightec...but that goes too...(and is absolutly right).
So no one around her believes that the USB could also be a host?
The Omap850 can handle usb on-the-go. See here: http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wt...lateId=6123&navigationId=12000&contentId=4679
German USB-On-The-GO Description (german): http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/23696
We can also see that wlan a/b/g is on chip but wth is wiLink?! or mWLAN.
greets
THIS IS great, thanks...I was looking for a block diagramm...now lets look what the chip can do...
Thanks
Ok i figured what the WiLink is, and its sounds really good for us, since it seems to be part of the MDAC III architecture:
"WiLink™ 5.0 platform is the industry's first solution that integrates mobile WLAN (mWLAN), Bluetooth® and FM stereo audio all in a space-saving platform for mobile phones."
Sounds like the functionality of our MDAC III, only that Austria/German/UK doesnt have the GOD DAMN WLAN activated (i hate you dutch guys... )
SO now following question, if the WLAN is intergrated on the OMAP, it cannot be removed by HW...but only be deactivated via firmware. The question is now, does the OMAP need some co-processor to make use of WLAN, or only an antenna, now if it needs an antenna, then it could well be that Tmobile removed this Antenna!
I will do further technical research on this
it does seem to miss integrated WLAN: "54-Mbps WLAN interface" i think when they talk of interfaces, the only mean it supports some WLAN chip to work with it...
Hmm, you can see that that WiLink/mWLAN stuff is not on chip. It's some external circuit which possibly does not exist on our mdac3. Though... proove me wrong and we are best friends

Ahm, yes... I was 2 minutes too late... I btw already installed the wifi-driver from a dutch mdac3 and it didn't work. It is still possible that i did something wrong when doing this.
We need a Dutch ROM
Sorry if this question has been answered but I'm new to the blue angel. I currently have a tilt upgraded to wm6.1. I really love my phone but I'm going to sell it because I need some cash for fixing my car. I just bought a sx66 from ebay and am planning on using it instead and upgrading it to wm6, prob xplodes roms because he seems to know his junk.
The question I have is when the blue angel is upgraded to wm6 is most wm6 software compatible with it? Am I going to be limited with the programs I can run?
Any help is appreciated thanks
also I've done some reading on "stk" and I'm just curious as to how it interferes with phone service if it is not working properly in one of the 6.1 roms. Is it going to interfere with phone quality and internet use if it doesn't work? Thanks very much for the response. I am waiting to flash until I find out the answer to this question
