Hi,
I have got confused with the various bricked posts, misnamed WWE update posts etc.
What I would like to know is the following:
1. Does the imate update (english) work on the MDA Pro?
2. Does anyone have the original T-Mobile version for returning it to the release T-mob version?
3. Does doing an upgrade invalidate my warranty with T-Mob?
My issue with current roms is that the device crashes at least once a day, and I am getting fed up with reboots.
Thanks,
Joe
It works fine with the MDA Pro, I have mine running the JASJAR Rom.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/MDA_PRO_JASJAR_ROM_UPGRADE_WWE_11353_137_10301.zip
Download that, it has the No Device ID exe.
hi, did the ROM change speed up your MDA pro in any way? also does the video calling feature still work.
This really interests me too.. Any answers out there please?
P :?:
Mine does seem a little quicker, especially after overwriting the iMate supplied .tsk files for the homescreens.
WiFi a *bit* more stable, but not perfect.
So... If I download that file, unpack it onto my UK T-Mobile MDA PRO and run it, I will have the latest software on the MDA PRO?
Are there any 'issues'?
Will I lose any data\ programs\settings etc.?

You run the install from a PC, having put the phone into "bootloader" mode. As far as I know, its a newer ROM version than is supplied with the MDA Pro, and also doesn't contain the T Mobile customisation. It DOES include MSN and Skype as standard, as well as a couple of other bits.
It will totally wipe your phone / settings, but if you select T Mobile UK after you install the new ROM, most of the T Mobile settings are reconfigured for you. You just have to do the 3G one yourself, but the details are in another thread (possibly in the main Universal area of this forum).
Imate produce regular ROM upgrades for their other phones, so it is likely they'll release a new ROM before Orange / O2 / T Mobile manage it.

Just got the MDA pro. How do i upgrade the Rom? I dun really understand how to go to the registry as well? Any help?? Really appreciate it. Thanks.
The link for the update i mate jasjar rom is not working??
Someone moved it :roll:

Newbie in need of help.
Thanks for the ftp link. Regarding about getting into the registry? How do i do that? And how do i update the rom.
I got some problem with my mda pro sync with my laptop?
It say cant detect the device. I cant install the driver either. Anyone have the same problem with the mda pro or only me?
Do anybody know how can i unlock the mda pro?
Thanks.
Reply really appreciated.
unlocking mda pro
Hi, I think the only way to unlovk the MDA at present is via the subsidy code from T Mobile. In the UK you can only do this after you have completed a month on contract and t mobile will charge you 15 pounds for the priviledge. On 02 the devices come unlocked for any network.
with ref to the ROM update to WWE jasjar, this is an absolute must for ALL t mobile users. I can confirm things are stable all round, but don't expect you can get away from those periodic resets - M$ seem to have built in this feature in all pocket PC OS ! - yes I am calling this a feature of the OS now.
Look around on the forums here on how to flash there are some very good posts about.
Remember, most important if you want stability only install essential software.

Mda pro usb activesync problem
Hi thank for the reply. You mean i should change it to the jasjar rom which is the link above? I am new to pda phones and need some help.
I cant connect my device to my laptop using usb. It say device not detected.
I install the software and it should work rite. Is there something i didnt do? I read the manual saying install the software then have sync relationship with the pc and device. How do i sync the relationship? Do i just plug in the usb to my laptop then it will automatically detect my mda pro?
Help. Thanks.

I put this on the BA upload FTP today, MDA could you have a look at it?
Here is what came in the description
Instructions for upgrading your ROM
to WM 5 Build 14343
At this point, there is 1 BlueAngel WM5 English Roms available: Version
5.1.1700 Build 14343
This is a BA GSM rom and will only work on PH20B / PH20B1 devices.
And it cant be made, fixed, edited or reworked to work on any other device
You need Windows XP and SP2 to make ActiveSync 4 work! SP2 is available free
of charge at any PC World computer superstore or direct from Microsoft.com
Flashing your device can turn it into a Paper Weight, this is your own risk
Flashing a Rom which is not from your carrier will void the warranty
The Partion Tool resets your Exteneded rom Password and you Will not be able to
lock you EXT Rom if you revert back to CE2003
I have not tried it out yet. The way I put it in there is in sort of a package form, the file rarsave has the original rar files in it and the folders are the unpacked versions.
Any comments or results would be grately apreciated.
Ok, I upgraded to this ROM, from what I can tell it is the most straight up almost factory version of WM5 I have seen, It is fast and solid.
The only thing missing is the Blackberry software, Enterprise or web. If anyone knows where to get that I would be a happy camper. Can you get this software in a CAB form?
When you click on IE for the first time it even says OEM version!!!
No branding at all.
are you sure this isn't the one which we have tried before?
Where did you get this rom ?
I think it is the first WM5 rom for BA, PDA2k_2k5.rar but I will see after reflash
There is no point to upgade to this rom i am right and this is the first one the same as this one
There are far better roms in the ftp than this one

There is no branding in every WM5 rom fo BA, because it is not distributed by an operator

even for my 2003SE, it doesn't have any branding because I bypass auto config ... so don't think it is such a big discovery.

I recently upgraded my O2 Xda Exec with the imate JJ rom (ROM Version: 1.30.82 WWE). But after a hard reset, I keep getting the following error:
Code:
Can not run on this device.
Upon investigating, I have discovered that the pocket arabizer cabs are installed during the customization after a hard reset. The similar rom (and the mentioned cabs) are working flawlessly on my other universal (imate jasjar) but on my O2, i keep getting the above error (i.e. can not run on this device). Is there a way to get the arabizer cabs to working nicely with my O2? Help in this regard would be appreciated.
help, please help. just say something. just kiddin'
hopefully, someone will come along and offer some valuable help.
T-Mobile is doing the same thing
My T-Mobile MDA Pro is doing the sme thing, it must be a way to tell the ROM that my T-Mobile is a JasJar...and I have used the "no_ID" and it did not work...
HELP
The imate roms (dont know if only from the Jasjar) have something builtin (don't know if cab file in extrom or in the rom itself) that only allows installation on imate jasjars. I think its some sort of list or program which checks the imei.
My observations so far are:
1. I have tried a custom extended rom, specially designed to avoid any cabs that might check the imei. This meant using a custom config file and autorun file from O2.
2. Only IMEI checking cab I have found so far is the 'Default_CAAVPPC_IMEI_2.6.80_range.cab' -- it is CA Antivirus software. I think it checks the IMEI.
3. I have tried with certain telco provided cabs (e.g. Mobily, Etisalat_UAE, etc.), to see if this works. It doesn't.
4. What does Install_tsk.exe do?
5. I have tried with different rom, but extended rom from imate JJ, but that doesn't work either.
6. Is there a way to fix this problem? I have seen this problem with several other people in this forum, but no concrete solution is found yet.
7. Can somebody else confirm that, indeed there is some IMEI checking in the imate roms?
8. being able to use the imate JJ roms on O2 indicates that there is no IMEI checking in the ROM itself.
9. Help is desparetly needed. :roll:
S.D.
JasJar on T-Mobile
I have tried everything since I got my T-Mobile and I installed like 100 ROMs trying to make my T-Mobile MDA Pro thinks that it is a JasJar...but no luck...
I have installed the WWE JasJar with no problem, I think the problem is installing the ME version with Arabizer and the AntiVirus software...and yes it does check the IMEI number...
My T-Mobile now officially an O2 but it seems like it refused to think that it is a localized version of the iMate JasJar.
Is there a way that makes my T-Mobile thinks it is a JasJar????
this seems to be an issue with a lot of people. can we have some experts to help us out?
IT CAN NOT BE DONE...SORRY

I think that the "Arabizer" developers had locked in the software to work only on the iMates...with specific IMEI numbers, I have installed the WWE ROM on my T-Mobile and it works fine but when I install the ME ROM it does not work...

Hi there,
I read the forum for some days now and did learn quite a lot. Unlocked my T-Mobile MDA Vario II, flashed HardSPL, and also a new WM6 Rom. Since I'm on Vista i have some Problems now. After the WM6 Rom was on the Device Vista detected a new Mobile Device and now Mobile Device Center from Vista is freaking out, sometimes it detects my phone, sometimes not. I pressume because of WM6, since with WM5 on the Phone i didn't have these Problems..
Anyone knows something about that?
Another thing is, i really would like to have a german wm6 rom, but the Tool to convert a .nb to a .nbh file i found in the Wiki (Koch) doesn't seem to work in Vista, i always get an compiler error when i load the .nb file. Are there any other Tools or could someone here maybe just build me a german rom with Vodafone OEM stuff and convert it for me?
regards,
nEUTRon
You really need to read mrvanx guide, look at my signature.

I must learn to read properly! The problem is caused because the device centre sees it as a new device, it would be best to uninstall the device centre and reinstall it that should sort it. In regards of the tools problem I know of nothing to fix this, I have to run mine on XP it is the only way.
Damn...Thanks anyway. So i have to make my rom when i'm back at office with some XP machine
I have the same problems with Vista detecting my phone. I sometimes have to plug and unplug it three times before it detects it. Also, it seems to work best for me with the option "Enable advanced networking functionality" unchecked in Settings | Connections | USB to PC.
I have been reading threads for 3 days. I am not new to gadgets, but I am new to the german language. I just biught a T-Mobile MDA Compact III-german. I need to convert to English and would like if possible to enable WiFi if I can. Would someone who is very smart send me-
1) The files I need
2) Step by Step directions
3) The best idea on GPS software and loading.
Help Help Help! I admit I am a NEWB, but without newbs, the rest of you wouldnt feel smart!!!!
Thanks for any help!!!!
If you don't mind loosing the T-mobile add-ons you can download the English version of the WM6 ROM from the HTC site. Be aware that you will start with a 'clean' sustem and that you have to configure your connections to be able to use GPRS and internet. At the site you can download the manual with the information about configuring your device including WiFi.
I'm not sure what you mean with "The best idea on GPS software and loading", are you talking about navigation software?
G.
I tried registering my phone with the serial number on my phone to get the update from the HTC website. Even though it is the equivalent of a HTC
P3300 phone, it wasnt recognised because it was sold as a T-Mobile device. So I couldnt get the download. Any other ideas?
Anyone have the file saved? Can media markt change it to english? I would rather do it myself just for learning purposes for future changes.
Anyone got it?

Great! Thanks!
Another question (which I cant find the answer to).. How do I go back to the stock spl? I have unsigned hard spl on here at the moment.
Also, do you know which version of the radio the Compact IV is shipped with in the UK?
I'm guessing the order to do things is..
1. Flash original radio
2. Flash original ROM
3. Remove hard spl..
Your help would really be appreciated! Thanks.
T-Mobile MDA Compact IV (Diamond/Victor) stock ROM/SPL
Hi beauchampy,
The Radio and Rom will be flashed together with the file previously linked:
RUU_Victor_TMO_UK_1.37.110.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.26a.25.09_1.00.25.03_Ship.exe
The default SPL for T-Mobile stock from September until present day is 1.37
This should be the last thing to be flashed.
I have attached a zip with all the necessary files you need (credit to cmonex http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2324829#post2324829).
Un-zip the archive, connect via activesync.
Copy "SSPL-Manual.exe" to your device (any directory)
Run SSPL-Manual.exe on the device - screen should go black...
Start "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" in the PC as usual for rom update.

Aside..Im done with t-mobile after this contract expires. Support is rubbish and really with the diamond they have put near to zero investment with keeping up with HTC's rom/radio releases. If they arent going to put the money to keep up with this then how about not doing your own awful pink and white version and brand the phone to high heaven. Then you wont have to re-develop something thats already available just to customise it to t-mobile. Leave the phone as it is and keep in line with HTC's releases. The other problem is the total lack of accessory support for the compact 4. Rant over. Apart from, Pink and white...whoever thought of that..
So enough about the ROM already, how about the SPL?!??!! Can I use this one or is there a Dutch SPL out there???
Anywayz... I didnt need the T-Mobile support afteral. Because I had to wait for the ROM update too long back then I began to flash ROMs. Thanks XDA for that.
My next phone wont be a T-Mobile branded device, might not even be a HTC device... That long expected Sony Ericson X2 makes me horney, and its finally coming out!!!
offtopic
Oh never mind about the X2, it uses the same chip set as his predecessor, the X2 is already the biggest disappointment of 2010...
