Hi, I have the T-Mobile MDA Vario. I was wondering if anyone can tell me step by step how to convert all configurations to US T-mobile. Right now it has all German Configs for MMS & Internet. Do i do a full device reset and download the newest version Rom for T-Mobile US? Im a rookie at flashing & i read some bad stories of data crashing..HELP ME PLEASE!!!
My Rom Version:1.3.13.5 ENU
Rom date: 9/29/05
Radio version: 01.12.10
Protocol version: 4.0.13.23
ExtRom version: 1.3.13.116

Wizard Custom ROM 2.17 for T-Mobile MDA Vario
Hi. I've been lurking in this forum since I bought my US T-Mobile MDA (Vario) last week. I love it. (The Vario and this forum). I was looking for ROM's too, and installed a couple before I found the Q-Tek 2.17 ROM. It was cool, had some significant enhancements over the original T-Mobile ROM, but after installing it, I kept looking around and found a custom version that has the look and feel of a T-Mobile ROM. It has some useful tweaks and it's an english ROM that's pre-configured for T-Mobile USA. The link is here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=44631
I like this ROM. After installing it, GPRS and everything is already configured and the battery life is lasting so much longer. The irritating things are disabled and there are some nice tweaks like the Edge icon when it's an Edge connection (So you know if it's EDGE or GPRS). The only thing I've noticed that's missing from the original ROM is the T-Mobile hotspots util, but I don't know if you care about that. I think you'll prefer it since it's in English and the 2.17 ROM.
I just got my sexy new MDA pro today, and so far i've been pretty impressed (especially with the screen!)
Anyways, i was very disappointed to discover that T-Mobile didn't include MSN Messenger or Outlook, which is pretty damned annoying really because those were 2 big reasons i bought the phone lol :roll:
So i've got a couple of questions, i hope someone can help
1) What's the best current ROM for me to install (that would have MSN + Outlook on it)
2) If i DID install that new ROM, T-mobile wouldnt have blocked access to those services via their network would they?!
3) By installing an imate/jasjar ROM, will that have any weird side effects... like having mis-branded icons etc? or the loss of certain features that i currently have?
Here's my system info:
ROM Version: 1.12.42 WWE
ROM Date: 08/23/05
Radio Version: 1.00.02
Protocol Version: 42.33.P8
ExtROM Version:1.12.126 WWE
Grateful for any assistance

Does that t-mobile ROM include MSN etc? (US version?!), is there a 'changelog' type list anywhere?
Thanks!
(BTW, is my current ROM ancient?!)
im also a newbie with a mda pro and want to know if there is a better rom to use.
The guy in the t mobile shop said he was using a imate rom as it was much better and stripped of all the t mobile junk.
As helpful as people are here, there is just so much info to actually find out what is correct and what is not
i have flashed with the latest t mobile rom but msn messenger still refuses to work

I'll be installing that ROM soon, so i'll let you know if i get any problems with MSN.
As far as having t-mobile junk.... well i don't really see anything like that, they just have the t-mobile favourites icon, and that's about it really, thank god im not forced to use a pink t-mobile theme!
im missing msn on mine too, shame the tmob version dont have it nor does it allow push mail yet. oh well, hope the rom upgrade will fix at least the msn for me

I have a german T-Mobile MDA Pro with the official T-Mobile AKU 2.0 from May 2006. Is there any stable upgrade I could apply to my MDA? Maybe T-Mobile released something officially? I read that there are already Windows Mobile 5 AKU 3.0 and later floating floating around for other brands? Where is the one for MDA Pro?

I am currently using the Helmi’s AKU 3.5. If you are new in ROM upgrades, you may choose the Helmi’s AKU 3.3 which is more reliable.
Bdw. MDA PRO is base on HTC Universal (that is the production name)

Agree.
Me using Helmi_c Aku3.5 v1.3 too. Performance is great except no speedial!
Also think Helmi_c Aku3.3 v1.2 is the best ROM so far except for not having Windows Live.
Works better with Radio 1.14.10, but depend of your network provider.
What is Radio 1.14.10 ?
And what do you mean with Windows Live? Does some Microsoft AKU contain already some windows live services that where promised for "crossbow" (WM6.0)? What are those? Or is this some ugly homwbrew hack?
errr... , long story, please read,

Helmi_c Aku3.3 v1.2 works better with "Radio ROM" ? Can you explain what a radio ROM is for (as opposed to a normal ROM such as Helmi's ROM" ?

I suggest you go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286036 and download the Helmi aku3.5 v1.3. -Its very reliable and considerably faster than what you will have installed already. I strongly recommend that you back up to MS OUTLOOK before updating if you dont wish to lose your calander events or contacts.
To answer your question, the so-called 'Radio ROM' is actually an update of the mobile phone (aka radio) firmware. Helmi's package includes a previous radio firmware version which is fine. The package also includes the latest available firmware upgrade (or AKU) of the Windows Mobile 5 operating system. This firmware upgrade of the OS is not yet officially released by MS, but has leaked and has since been tweaked by such jolly fine chaps as Helmi.
By the way, you'll be quite confused by the mixed use of ROM, extended ROM, hard/cold boot, etc (eg. everyone knows that ROM = 'Read Only Memory' and that the AKU and RADIO upgrades are actually written to EEPROM or equivalent memory type). Dont worry too much about it though, the lingua franca grows on you and the support from the community is excellent
Go ahead and try to update your universal after backing it up.
Your next post should be either "WOW, thats much better!!" or "CRAP, how do I get the damned thing to update??!!"
before I actually go for an upgrade I still have some worries:
1. won't I loose the german language on my phone (keyboard, äöü, T9, UI Language) ?
2. on some screenshots I have seen a "3G" Icon, but in germany it is UMTS and I want to keep the U Icon
3. When upgrading the Radio ROM, will everything still work fine with the operator T-Mobile such as MobileTV, streaming, MMS, Videophonie or this automatic image compression service offered by t-mobile germany (automatically compresses all images on websites to save traffic).
Just to make you feel safe, you can go to your T-Mobile website, download your current ROM from there.
So even how good the new ROM is, if you do not like it, flash back the old one.
can anybody answer my 3 questions ?

There is NO official AKU 3 out yet for the Universal. I don't think there will ever be. ALL the AKU 3 you see here are made by members and any Universal device can use them.

bitbonk,
As mentioned there is no official AKU 3.X for Universal.
AKU 3.X ROM’s that you find here are tailored to functionality by some brilliant guys in this forum. Indeed those are generally in English.
However if you choose to use them you will lose your German language but you may able to find batches that allows you to reconfigure. I do also believe your specific T-mobile related functionality will be lost.
in case your decide to give a try for one this available ROM’s then as CWKJ has suggested you can download you current original ROM from T-Mobil for back up
However please take NOTE this forum is for guys they like to test and develop.
I think I am using my universal more for upgrading and testing some ROM’s rather for daily usage. Therefore if you decide start to use one of this ROM’s be prepared to be infected with “XDA developers Virus”. This Virus is not infecting your device but its effecting you live
This will lead you spending most of your free time in this forum and on your device.
Instead bringing news paper to “rest room” you will bring your Universal.
If anyone tries to call you on your device, they will be not able to contact you as device docked on your computer for ROM upgrade or trying any reg. code.
Your Girlfriend/wife will start to complain: “I wish you would love me same as you loving your Universal”
So bro think carefully on what you decide :0)
LOL !!! ...
Good one.
I am trying to get my other half to be infected too.
Read somewhere in this forum, cannot remember which thread, a guy say his girlfriend complaint that he is doing too much ROM. Some other guys in this forum suggest him to give his girlfiend some RAM before continue with his ROM.
LOL !!! ...
So much of joke aside.
This are all self cooked ROMs. Our hardware maker for $ making seek unlikely to give any of us any update (only once in April 06).
1. You will lose the German Language as this is a WWE (World Wide English) ROM. But you can make a search in this forum for a forumer by name Asukal who is an expert in language. You should find some language patch (for read & write) to make up for the missing German Language.
2. "3G" is a "display only bug" in the Aku3.x which should be "U" for Voice service. For Web browsing service or Video, etc, instead seeing "U", you see "G" (a bug too).
3. UMTS/3G using this ROM with Radio image (any version, but latest official T-Mobile is version 1.13.00 and some test version 1.14.10 which seems to work pretty well with this Helmi_c Aku3.5 V1.3) have no problem with Voice Call, SMS, MMS, Video Call, Web browsing, etc. Other T-Mobile specific service (MobileTV, streaming, image compression), I think it should be in your Extended Rom, not Radio. You can just flash nk.nbf (Aku part) and Radio_.nbf (radio part) and do not flash the ms_.nbf (extended rom part).
Lastly, only after flashing, you will get all your questions answer until the day you try it.
Before flashing, backup your T-Mobile splash screen (if any) because splash screen of Helmi's ROM is O2, Indra's is imate, the other 2 I have not tried.
Remember to use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe, (do not use ROMUpgradeUt.exe), to flash.
Good luck.
thank you for your help.
So maybe there is a e preconfigured ROM/radio upgrade (AKU 3.x) with german language floating around that is known to work well with german t-mobile ? Any german t-mobilers around here?
Why not go into the helmi thread and ask if someone has a compatible german language patch? You can probably set up the T Mobile stuff manually....

Hi:
Apparently, you seem to be the only person in the world who can use Blackberry after WM6 upgrade on D810. Please can you reconfirm the details of your ROM and BB version for further investigation? We have confirmation from HTC that Blackberry Connect is not supported on WM6 and been advised to downgrade to WM5. Does anyone know if the downgrade can be done (HTC website clearly say that you cannot downgrade once the upgrade has been done)? We are waiting for the unknown solution and time frame to fix this from HTC/Blackberry.
If any guru come across this message and think that you can help fix the incompatibility issue and make Blackberry Connect to work on WM6 D810, you will be saluted by the Blackberry users on D810 across the world!
Waiting for help from those who know how to fix this.
Thanks in advance.
I checked with my provider about BB v.2.1 on Dopod D810. Per my provider, there is some issue between BB v.2.1 and Windows Mobile 6 and we will have to wait for Dopod to release the update for BB client.
I don't know how that guy can make it work, but i did HARD RESET on my Dopod over and over but i still cannot make it work.
Has somebody downloaded this version from dopod?

I was using my stock universal (T-Mobile MDA II) with GPRS connection. I upgraded the ROM to Ranju's V7.6 WM6.1 ROM and in general I think it's a great improvement except now my GPRS connection doesn't work. I have tried Shap's Setup Operator but it doesn't have an option for the US. I think I either need to upgrade my radio ROM, or I need a CAB to tell the universal how to use the GPRS in the US. Can somebody please give me some tips to get it working again?
Posterbation
Just to update folks, I was about to go back to the stock ROM but I stumbled accross the DarkForcesTeam ROM and gave it a whirl. GPRS in the US on T-Mobile works just fine with that ROM. I actually like it better because it has less software installed so I can install my own, and it has a really nice custom Today screen.
James
I have the same problem of no GPRS with Ranju in the UK on vodafone.
