To which rom should I update my Dutch TMobile MDA pro?

Hi!
I really feel like a newbie when i read all the posts about all the different rom versions, so can someone give me some advice which rom i should use to upgrade to?
I have a dutch TMobile MDA pro, which is still at the default rom:
ROM: 1.12.42 WWE (8/23/05)
Radio: 1.00.02
extRom: 1.12.125 WWE
I am experiencing problems with spontaneous hangs (which might have to do with 3rd party software, but the device itself isnt exactly stable)
but also the radio often just loses signal, which i can only fix by rebooting...
I want to upgrade, but i don't want to spend toooo much time on it. Is there a rom that offers better stability which is easy to install and configure?
Regards,
Casper

Try updating to the latest I-Mate Jasjar ROM. Very stable and fast. I too use a lot of 3rd party applications and games. This is my 3rd day of not experiencing any problem without doing a soft reset in the morning.

I prefer Orange ROM... both imate and orange are the same version though... only that Orange's ROM is released while Imate is still not released

ady, what made you say the I-Mate ROM has not been released yet? It is true there is a test version which came 2 weeks earlier than the one I am using now which is NOT the test version. Just curious.
Another question please about the NEW Orange ROM. Is it true that the vibrate is always ON and you can't turn it OFF?

I did it!
last week i gathered my courage, downloaded the JasJar rom, found the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe tool, pressed install, drank a cup of coffee, and was finished!
It went flawlessly! And my T-Mobile MDA Pro has never run smoother!
I couldnt (and wouldnt) have done it without this forum, so thanks guys!
Now its just waiting until there is a new stable rom with A2DP on it, and then i'll upgrade again!

I upgraded my mda pro to the latest t-mobile UK ROM straight out of the box. But even then I have the same problems with spontaneous hangs. And reading your success story I gathered all the files JASJAR_WWE_13076_164_10900_wwe_ship.exe and MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to upgrade to the JasJar rom myself. But as complete newbie who is affraid to mess things up, did you do anything else except unzipping the ROM update and copying the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to that folder ? The reason why I am asking I read somewhere that you have to add [CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1 to the RUU.conf file.
Thanks in advance.

JASJAR rom works fine
My T-mobile mda pro NL arrived today and i almost immediately flashed it to Imate JASJAR firmware on the xda-developer ftp. I used the Universal_Upgrade_v1.30.68_radio_1.09.0.zip file which contains:
Rom 1.30.68 WWE
Radio 1.09.00
ExtROM 1.30.153
Protocol 42.42P8
and is dated at 08 february 2006.
This works fine and removes the ugly pink theme and adds some nice apps like skype after customizing. It also has an alternative contacts menu, which has skype integration. Pocket MSN (a not so nice app imho) is also included, although i use the new agile messenger beta.
The bootscreen mentions 'for testing only, not for sale' which might indicate that it is not a final (not sure though).

Thanks it works like a charm.
ROM 1.30.76 WWE
ROM date 20 february 2006
Radio 1.09.00
Protocol 42.42.P8
ExtROM 1.30.164 WWE

I'm using T-mobile UK version with 1.09 radio rom. This version INCLUDES the a2dp profiles, but no pushmail. You can use the blackberry connect software from german t-mobile site on the Universal. so you will have AND pushmail and A2DP.
http://www.pocketinfo.nl/artikel/5561
I think Imate rom is also a nice ROM.

Reading this topic en reading the instructions about bootloader, I have another question. In the instruction ist says to make a factory reset after loading the new ROM. Does this mean that all information in your MDA is wiped out and must be reloaded?

yes the machine is a complete naked beauty afterwards

Extended ROMs for T-Mobile MDA Pro

Hi,
Sorry for the more than likely, stupid question, but what exactly does the Extended ROM do? Am I right in thinking its just the additional settings that the providor wants to add, customise... etc...
The reason I ask is I have a T-Mobile MDA Pro, which I've upgraded the Radio from 1.06.00 to 1.11.00, and noticed great differences.
I've upgraded the CE Image to 1.30.77 with the lates QTek WWE Rom, again, it's solved problems...
But should I upgrade the Extended ROM to 1.30.230? Or stick with T-Mobile's 1.20.120? Will I notice any benefits, or will I just lose T-Mobile's customisations, gain some which are of no benefit, and muck up me phone???
Regards!!
Dave.

Did you manage to get any software out of T-Mobile UK?

There's two official T-Mobile ROMs for the MDA Pro, the latest being available on the T-Mobile site, and also on this FTP
Regards

Hi
I uploaded the latest T-Mobile extended rom to FTP a while ago. I have installed the QTEK ext rom (well, most of it), and then I run the T-Mobile cabs to add accounts for MMS etc etc.
Just hard reset the device and then do a soft reset before the extended rom installs, then cherry-pick the bits of the ext rom that you wish to install.
From QTEK:
MP-Shorcut-MMS1-Java5xx-CyberonVoice-CV-0512
MP_CVSDcpl_20060216.cab
MP_EnableDRM_UAProfile_Universal_AKU2.0_0512
MP_Enable_VT_RTPlugin_0727_2_signed.CAB
MP_mHub_WWE_051226.CAB
PP_ECall(112-911)_UNI.CAB
PT_UAProf_UNI.CAB
From Tmob
CAB-Customization-TMUK-Universal-01-05-16NOV
Signed_UNI_TMO_Connection_112100.CAB
Seems to work fine. There are some explanations of what does what in other threads scattered about these forums.

Which Rom to use with MDA Pro (T-Mobile UK)

Hi,
I got my MDA Pro last week, there was some weird problems with it where it would drop the signal rate everytime someone called.
When I called T-Mobile I was told I should update it, which I did...then MMS functionallity disapeared etc..
So my question now is, which ROM is the best to use with it...and where can I find it?
Cheers.

Hi Jeuk,
I followed the t-mobile site and downloaded the update (it ends up coming from some t-mobile subdomain on 3rd part site, can't remember the URL, sorry, but hunt around)
I've found it great, fast and stable (as long as you reset when it says it's installing the customisations - you can pick and choose the cabs you install, i'd recommend the mms/gprs settings more than anything else - search on here for the t-mobile cabs, or get the extended storage unlocker and install from there using total commander (also search here for these things - this site is a great resource). You don't see many complaints from t-mobile users here, I suspect they've actually pulled out all the stops and been one of the most reliable resellers of this phones.
but my GPRS is great, coverage is fantastic, bluetooth profiles all in there (including a2dp [sp?]) for bluetooth stereo with a moto hs820), fast running, few resets. All I have of the t-mobile branding is the awful colours on the case of the device. that horrible pink-tinged plastic down the button strip. really. I mean, really.
maybe I should add:
ROM: 1.20.32 WWE
ROM date: 11/16/05
Radio: 1.06.00
Proto: 42.40.P8
ExtROM: (I erased the extended rom.. crazy radical reinterpretation of READ-ONLY HTC)
d

Would you like to help me build a single CAB file for T-mobile settings?
I would like to take a stock WM5 install, and then include the Qtek dialer and T-mobile settings.
This should provide a very clean build. :idea:
Anyone who knows how to build a settings CAB file, your input would be greatly received!!

Latest TMobile ROM
In the latest TMobile ExtROM has anyone done a breakdown of what each of the CAB files does? ESpecially interested in those that configure the MMS settings and GPRS
Thanks

Re: Latest TMobile ROM
I found the thread that describe the cabs in the 1.12.126 rom, here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32839
i'd imagine most of the names and descriptions are the same.

Hi,
Thanks for all the replies, still having problems after the "latest greatest" update. I got the update from http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/
The MDA still hangs up on 80% of the calls, especially if you spin the screen before answering.
ROM version: 1.30.114 WWE
ROM date: 04/13/06
Radio Version: 1.10.03
Protocol Version: 42.44.P8
ExtRom Version: 1.30.232 WWE

Probably not, but the Optus and Vodafone code will work under Telstra Next-G
Network Setup Wizard gets all the MMS and Internet settings right first go aswell

I suspect we will never see a JasJam ROM as imate have dropped HTC as a supplier. I doubt they will got to the trouble of providing WM6 and Telstra won't do it on their own.
The original Dopod SEA WWE works great and also automatically sets up Telstra's settings. It also has the bonus of not being carrier branded and pleasingly less green than the HTC ROM.

Thanks a Million Guys.
I am sure I-mate will never have an update for JasJam especially with a WM-6 ROM.

So NextG is a definite go with this rom? Should I see an H in the menu or just 3G??
Greg

I just have the 3G icon to start off with, then it goes to H when i start up the data connection.
Only thing i had to do to get it going was set network type to WCDMA

Hi Guys.
Here is the way to get "everything telstra" working on your black dymond.
Step one
Install the attached telstra my place cab. Then proceed as follows....
Under connections select new connection.
Name it Telstra Internet
Click the modem tab. Click new.
Name the connection Telstra Internet
Select a Modem (GPRS, 3G)
access point name telstra.wap
Click finish
Set proxy to 10.1.1.181 port 80
HTTP should be 10.1.1.181:80
Then open telstra my place icon and navigate to foxtel. This should work.
Note to access non telstra sites you might need to disable proxy in my connections
Hope this works guys. pm if any trouble.

I flashed this ROM on my Telstra i-mate Jasjam (though I use Optus) . Works great! Network Wizard automatically set up all Optus settings. Now get 3G and HSPDA speeds and MMS settings all work! Thanks to all for sharing their insights and making our devices better than ever!

new official (really official) ROM!
AT&T just released their official WM6 ROM. I won't be able to load it until tomorrow. If anyone does, please post here if it's any better than the original "official" ROM.

Imate Telstra Rom Windows Mobile
Hi spoke to a support person about a week ago and he reconed a new rom was coming for Telstra customers for Mobile 6

Hi all
Sorry if this question might sound silly but i am new to this.
I have recentley aquired a imate jasjam:
ROM version; 1.31.305.2
ROM date; 09/08/06
Radio version; 1.20.31.10
Protocol version; 32.52.7020.00H
ExtROM version; 1.31.305.103
now this is set to telstra settings
I however have a three network and dont know the setting to set it to work with three network. when i rang 3 support they told me i need to get the dopod pro which works on their network.
I though the dopod pro and imate jasjam where the same phone but they tried to convince me it is different and advised me of not trying to put dopod software on jasjam as it might lock the phone.
So now i am totally confused
Do i update my imate with the WM-6 ROM from above link? if so how...
thnx in advance for any help

Official imate WM6
Here is a link to the official release of the imate WM6 release for the Jasjam: http://clubimate.com/jasjamsupport/JASJAMAU.html
You can then configure your settings for any operator after that. And you are right - the 838pro and jasjam are the same!

I would recommend flashing the Dopod rom or a Schaps rom. These have Network wizard which will setup all your settings. I am on 3 also and use Schaps rom. Works perfectly.

thnx a million guys
will look into both..
schaps looks good, first time flashing so i hope i dont brick the thing.
cheers

Follow the guides available and you won't go wrong.
It was daunting at 1st for me, but after you'v done it once it's easy!

There is a Telstra WM6 rom
I'm a bit confused by some of the comments above. There is a Telstra WM6 rom available on the Club iMate site. I had downloaded and installed it successfully but unfortunately it is not supported by BB Connect 4.0.0.9x so I went back to the Dopod Asia build.

Another update from 3Aus - 6 months old, but not listed anywhere?
Strangely, I can't see any mention in the forums of the 3Aus 838pro update available from 3... They mention version 1.30.707.8, which looks like it's supposed to be newer than the one mentioned above (which ends in .707.4)... It's been available for a while, and I don't know how it compares with some of the cooked ROMs available.
http://www.three.com.au/Dopod (Select 838pro from the dropdown, then "Planet 3 software upgrade" link, then another "Planet 3 software upgrade" link... Page contains download and install instructions, and some )
Direct link to download: http://203.210.124.136/3/software/Dopod_838_Pro_p3.exe
Supposedly, according to an sms I got maybe 6 months ago, this update is supposed to enable streaming content on Planet3. I haven't tried it yet, but will be doing so in the next few days. Has anyone else had a look at this? It's not listed in the wiki either, as far as I can see... (I'm about to try it out because of not being able to get Planet 3 streaming under WM6.1...)
Edit: Never mind, this is a WM5 update. We don't have it listed anywhere, though, so I'll add in some details about it...
ROM Version 1.30.707.8 Date 12/13/06
Radio: 1.27.30.10
Protocol: 32.60.7020.06H
SPL: 1.09
IPL: 1.01
It does have streaming under Planet 3 working, though. I'll try to figure out how it works.

No GPRS After Upgrade

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.
