The easyest way is to do a hard reset
then after setting up WM5 tap the screen when it says (tap the screen to star useing you Device)
then soft reset before the customizeation starts (you get 3 seconds to do this)

Hi, as a newbie, could anyone tell me how to get the rom upgrade for this device please, and the easy way to install it
Having been in touch with vodafone they pushed me back to my contract supplier (carfone warehouse) who are useless.
On the imate website I can see the rom upgrade but, after entering my IMEI it wont allow me any further!
- would this rom upgrade work anyway, or do i need the vodafone specific one? - i note that orange / o2 upgrade is already available
any help/info greatly received
thankx in advance
Hello ck1,

Hi thanks for reply

The vodafone offical ROMs will be ready in the next week or so.

Hi guys,can you help me please!!!
I bought t-mobile compact III(lock) is just 4-days old with rom version netherlands.
I try to upgrade it to english rom version with software from PDAMobiz.com.
The installation went smootly without errow(for 15 minutes),but after the hard and soft reset,my T-mobile compact III refuse to boot up to window mobile.
I think I spoil it?
I do not know what to do now.
Help,help and help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi,
I have had the same problem. These is just one solution. Send it back to T-mobile. There is no way you can repair it yourself
greets
After many months of reading posts for unlocking and upgrades. I finally got enough courage to give it a shot with my Cingular 8125. What prompted me to do so was a battery problem (when surfing the net or resource intense functions the 8125 would soft reset (only if running on battery) and the team effort with resolving issues and general excitement most have doing so. Ok so I took the dive and unlocked & upgraded and the new goodies were outstanding. (like a kid in a cany shop, I wanted more!) Unfortunatly my problem with the battery still exsisted so I called Cingular / ATT and troubleshooted with them and they agreed to send a new 8525! Which brings up a few questions.
1. What's the best way to return the 8125 back to factory setting?
2. Will that re-lock the phone back to Cingulars settings
3. What unlocking tool is best for the 8525
4. I used the LokIwiz 02b for the 8125 and worked great! Will it work with the 8525?
5. Cingular plans a free to upgrade the OS to WM6 sometime between July-Sept. Should I wait to tweek the current OS / ROM?
Any thoughts or suggestions welcome

1&2. Look in the wizard forum
3. Theres a sticky in the Hermes Upgrading forum
4. I doubt it.
5. Thats your call.
With the wizard, just flash back to the latest cingular rom. I had to do that when I sent mine back.
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for someone who already managed to upgrade a german T-Mobile MDA compact III to WM6. Has anyone experiences with this? It's my business phone and I don't want to break it.
1. Is there any chance to reflash the old WM5 ROM if something goes wrong?
2. How can I save the old ROM!?
3. Do I need to setup any regional settings if I use the O2 ROM for example?
Thanks for all answers!

You shurely can use the O2 ROM. Regional settings? You can change the regional settings in the ROM, but you don´t neet to if you use the german version of the O2 ROM.
There is a way to make a backup of your curent ROM to a storagecard. Use the search..
You should make a backup of your pim (contacts, tasks, calendar etc.) with PPCPimBackup because you can restor them with thiis program, but not with SPB Backup..
Is your phone sim- or netlocked? Normally the german tmob devices are..
IMPORTANT: You can update - but before you flash your rom with any new os (like the O2) do the "uspl" (CID Unlock) first!
Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308242
I have updated mine. Everything works fine, but the menues are in English.
The phone must be CID unlocked then you can flash any ROM you like. You can also find a CAB for T9 input in German.
Ciao
Thanks a lot guys for all the information. I'll report later if it worked...
Success
Thanks for all your information!
Everything worked fine.
At first I tried to make an backup, but I was not really successful, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=312871&page=5
But it didn't matter because I found a german wm5 rom for t-mobile:
XDA-DEV FTP -> "Uploads/Upload/Official MDA Compact III ROM/MDA Compact III German.exe"
So here is a conclusion for all noobs, like me:
1. Run USPL, get it here and read all the stuff: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
2. Patch any ROM you like, for example one of those: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=362 or get one on the xda-dev ftp
I tried three or four of the ROMs from the forum, it was possible to flash them all, but I had to try it twice to "remove" the german O2 ROM (flash another ROM over the O2), but maybe I did something wrong in the first place.
What I would finally like is a T-Mobile branded german WM6 ROM. If anyone could give me some tipps where to start, I would appreciate it. I think it should be possible to extract the german O2 WM6 OS and somehow mix it with the T-Mobile stuff from the WM5 ROM. I know there is a lot information here on the forum, but any hint is nevertheless very appreciated
