T-mobile UK blocking MSN and other apps? - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading

I recently got my MDA Pro, and it didnt have msn or outlook preinstalled (or anything else for that matter!).
I just tried installing Skype, and that didnt work, and i'm now wondering if t-mobile have deliberatley cripped the device in some way?
Either way, it's annoying, and i can't be bothered to pay $20 to download MSN mobile, when i should really have it pre-installed :/
If i install the latest T-mobile ROM, does that come pre-installed with those apps?
Can someone recommend me a decent fast ROM that would have all that included?
Thanks!

MDA pro and MSN
The latest rom at the T-Mo download site has Msn included, so get over ther and get it for free

Try Agile Messenger. Works well enough.
$20 to d/l MSN Mobile? Good God.
With regards to Skype though, be careful:
T-Mobiles new web and walk unlimited tariffs are "not to be used for other activities such as modem access for computers, internet based video/audio streaming services, peer to peer file sharing, internet based video download and internet based telephony."

Which rules out, oh, 75% of what I'd like to do with an unlimited tariff. How companies get awawy using the word unlimited in advertising is beyond me. My company, O2, is no better - our unlimited data tariffs is limited to 1Gb. I could do that in a few days. Our unlimited talk tariff is limited to 10'0000hours. Who's gonna do that? Why even muck around with an artificial limit?

Where is the latest T-Mobile UK ROMs? I've been trying to get it for a while, looking at two diferent Iris.uk sites, both say it's due Jan 06, but neither have it :-(
Please can someone help :?:

I've just gone to the IRIS site and downloaded apparently the newest ROM for T-Mobile UK. Which it states is the factory version.
On running the update it tells me that this will upgrade me to:
CE Image Version - 1.20.32
Extended Image Version - 1.20.120
Radio Image Version - 1.06.00
But it tells me that my CURRENT version is:
CE Image Version - 1.12.42 - NEWER
Extended Image Version - 1.12.126 - NEWER
Radio Image Version - 1.00.02 - OLDER
What do I do?! What's better newer CE Image/Extended Image, or a newer Radio Image version??

Nope, that's the same version as mine... well yeah, it is old, but all but the Radio version is NEWER than this update that T-Mobile have on their site... I'm confused...... :-\

Weird :/
Well can someone please put me/us out of my/our misery and confirm or post a link to the newest T-mob ROM? (is there a specific UK version?).
Also could someone list some major differences with the newest ROM and my current!? I'm a little baffled as to why most of the decent apps (Outlook/MSN) Aren't installed on the MDA by default :? (I'm assuming it's because they want you to TXT instead of instant message, and use THEIR e-mail service instead of 3rd parties?)
Anyway, i'm REALLY anxious to update my ROM, thanks guys

Http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/webnwalksoftware/
that is the latest supported version of software
they are bringing out webnwalk option pro that will allow 2gb uasge and no restrictions on apps using service, coming first of may

Is anyone currently using this ROM, if so, does it have MSN & Outlook on it?
(I'm assuming it'll already have the correct t-mob GPRS/3G network config?)
Thanks again.

I am running that Rom, and I can confirm that it does have MSN, but as I am using Pocket Informant I don't know about Outlook

Hi
Thats a pain... I am on a pre 'unlimited' web 'n' walk tariff with 12 months left to run :-( !!
T-Mobiles' latest rom is dark ages stuff. I wonder if they will ever bother to update it?

Zoidster.... completely correct!! I misread my screen, don't know why I didn't pick it up when I copied it to the forum!!!
Updating my ROM now Cheers everyone!

The ROM update is great, it's added:
- MSN Messenger/Hotmail with Pocket MSN
- Lock Today plug-in, which gives you a keylock like the menu * on Nokias.
As far as Outlooks concerned, I don't know what people mean, it has the Outlook Email, that it used to have before in the Messenging Section.
Well worth an upgrade!

ive just got back from the tmobile shop after picking up a mda pro. The sales assistant advisd me on coming here to find the latest firmware/software update as it will then run tons faster.

Having just upgraded to the new imate ROM, I'm not sure what to do now. I have the mda-pro and am with T-Mobile, but going on the version numbers the T-Mobile ROM seems to be a downgrade.
Anyone trying the new ROM please share your experiences and advice.
Cheers,
Phil
Never mind...
I have downloaded the file and unpacked it, guess what :
All the files inside are from 2005, so we have an ancient ROM here. I hate t-MOBILE those guys are as usual with their heads up their bottoms.
If you have upgraded to the jasjar version do not under any circumstances upgrade to this version.
It does not contain AKU2 and as suspected is just the old German Tmobile version.
Just ran it on my mda pro....complete waste of time. Now need to re-upgrade to the Jasjar version.
Thanks.
This is the original t-mobile uk mda pro firmware not upgrad
See the comment and date
"This version is the first production release of the MDA Pro."
I check this link regularly for new files , originally the site claimed jan 06, but nothing yet.
Hoping and praying aku 2 and a2dp will be included hence the longer wait than other countries t-mobile isp's.

NO it is an update, mouse over the download, it's not a particularily new update, but it's much newer than the original ship rom from TMUK.
It's just that they haven't updated the text yet.
hanhha2000!
Thanx for the warning, and I am sorry you have to reflash your device
The Ext.ROM has a CAB file that says "TMo Streaming". Do you think its for A2DP?
Also, Asukal posted in another thread that this ROM does infact have A2DP and made screenshots to prove it. What do you guys think?
Can someone upload the Extended ROM to the FTP so we can try the Streaming cab file?
This is the file i am talking about:
Extended_ROM\TMO_Streaming_0729_Signed.CAB
hanhha2000!
If you did not reflash yourdevice with the JJ ROM can you let us all know what is the OS version on the "new" TMobile ROM
hanhha2000!

FYI: windows mobile v5.0 OS 5.1.70 (Build 14409.1.1.2)
Rom version 1.20.32
Date 11/16/05
Radio 1.06.00
Protocol 42.40.p8
extrom 1.20.120
I have a hunch that the Streaming file mentioned above is the streaming media player that is on t-mo's rom.. looks like windows media player... and as yet i cant find a function for it.. It's only configured for rtsp:// files... whatever they are... may have been a idea to have a player that can pickup mms:// files .. eh... microsoft..
By the looks of things this is an old rom, the english version of the german rom released ages ago... I doubt it has any of the 'new' features.. but generally feels a lot more stable than the original shipped rom.
T-mo have updated there download page to reflect the new rom.. they even put a piccy of the mdapro up..
OS 5.1.70 (Build 14409.1.1.2) According to any source (like Microsoft mobile blog and Jason Landridge Blog) this version does not include neither AKU2 nor A2DP, so I am not sure what Asukal is showing us. Maybe it is something T-Mobile cooked on their own, a different BT stack ??

rtsp:// stands for Real Time Streaming Protocol
The advantage is that RTSP allows client to tell server to stop, play, pause etc. RTSP is a very popular broadcasting protocol for Real Player, for example.
Nice addition (if it works)!

Brand new T-mobile MDA Pro.. MSN / ROM question!

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

(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

Upgrade my MDA Pro !

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?

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....

Radio is language independent

Can someone please post a link to the radio rom again?
I can't access the FTP from home anymore, I don't know why, it just times out, and I can't access the FTP from work unless I have a direct link to a file, these links are broken

Latest ROM for AT&T 8525

I lost my data due to a crash. I need the Official ROM for the AT&T 8525. They only posted it on the HTC web site for a little while (why, I don't know?)
It is:
ROM version 3.62.502.3
ROM date 10/11/07
Radio version 1.54.07.00
Protocol version 32.86u.7020.23H
I live in USA and have an English phone, AT&T is my carrier.
Would someone kindly point me to a download link for this if it's available somewhere?
I've searched here a lot, but can't discern between all the new third party ROMs. I haven't done any hacking to my AT&T, just need the original WM Pro 6 ROM.
thanks,
Charlie

Ok, I think this maybe the one you are looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316726&page=29
This thread does talk about the official HTC ROM update, but it doesn't have any working links. Several links there (like to HTC's web site) don't work. I remember HTC saying that the download of this new Windows Mobile 6 ROM for the 8525 would only be available until Feb. 08... Would someone have it somewhere that they could please upload somehow?
Many Thanks!
Edited: the next post has the factory 6.0 ATT rom..
I just needed this due to a hard reset from Faria-R32. I've flashed AT&T 3.62
http://download.america.htc.com/RUU...502.3_6275_1.54.07.00_108_UOOS_SVN05_Ship.exe with radio 1.54.07 as some have indicated that it's a good way to avoid the HR problem on the new WM6.1 roms that have been coming out.
Cheers
Htc/at&t 8525/wm6
If you're looking for the WM6 update from the HTC site, it's still posted.
Here are the instructions and update:
HTC/AT&T 8525/WM6.
Does anyone know if there's an official windows mobile 6.1 update for the at&t 8525 yet? I'm looking forward to upgrading, but I keep reading people are having issues with their phones locking up and the only way to fix it is to do a hard reset.

I KNOW that currently there ISN'T one, if that helps. I have no idea if there are any plans to release one on or after April Fools' day, though. I would like to know the answer to THAT question. Anyone????

HTC Touch Pro2 ROM Upgrade (SEA)

The new official ROM for Pro2 is out on HTC's website

The changelog doesn't look very promising. Maybe someone can give a review about the improvements -I have to wait for the German ROM to be released

Hope the Dutch - NL rom comes available soon.
At this moments my Pro2 is very slow, hangs often...it sucks

I tried to get my hands on it, but my serial is not valid...only for SEA grgrgrgrgrgrgr how long to wait...Im as well some times stuckt...as well as for the upgrade for GPS and SMS...that's not working for my rom....
Forgive the noob question, but I've never owned an HTC device this close to the original release date, nor a SIM free one.
My TP2 has the following:
ROM version: 1.19.401.0 (51489) WWE
ROM date: 05/16/09
Radio version: 3.44.25.27
Protocol version: 61.25t.25.19U
Would I be able to flash the RUU_Rhodium_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.19.707.2_Radio_Rhodium_3.44.25.27_Signed_Ship.exe from the Wiki?
I don't know a lot about stock ROMs - all my previous devices have been out long enough that there's a huge amount of custom ones on here.
The HTC site said that the update wasn't for my phone (it's only on the HTC Asia site, not the HTC UK one), but I'm an impatient guy!
WWE is, I believe, WorldWide English, which is what my current ROM is - I'm just mildly concerned about the Asia part. It's not going to have the default language to be Thai or anything, right? (I don't have an original ROM anywhere, so can't revert back if it all goes tits-up)
1. The Financial Providers Icon (Yahoo!) was placed in the Stock Tab in TouchFLO Pro to be clear on where the data originated.
2. The phone now shows the actual amount of RAM (288MB) instead of the amount used in previous models (256MB).
it is useless~=-=
My device is a sim free version that I bought (no carrier attached) and yet I can't get the upgrade!? What's going on...?
One more for the goldcard. Come on, last week I've been updating my HTC, now a new ROM... OK...
Wait a second... It's the same that I have? What the...
So if it was the same, I could say that this ROM already had the Radio FM aplication, the Voice Recorder one, the MP3 Trimmer, and It looks a little faster in the Touch Flo3D. At least looks like.
sec is not?
Can anyone please give me a hint at an SEA serial number so I can upload the ROM to my library (and then I will be able to grab newer SEA ROMs when they become available)?
Failing that, can someone make the file available else where?

ERROR (294) INVALIDVENDER ID
What should I do?
The UK support site now has this and one other hotfix listed. They're at:
For the GPS Hotfix (to allow faster AOS in third-party GPS applications)
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=250&cat=0&dl_id=624
For the SMS Hotfix (to allow "+xx" international phone numbers to be sent SMS messages):
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=250&cat=0&dl_id=625
Hope the above helps

HTC read the book "how to release frequent updates doing nothing"
