I uploaded the extended rom for the MDA PRO English. Nice touch, it contains Dutch T9.
it's in the upload directory, called mda_pro_nl_extrom.zip
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/mda_pro_eng_nl_extrom.zip
(adding it to this post gave an error message)
This file is only 1.5 MB?
I suppose it is not the full ROM image. What does it contain?
I am trying to revive a dead JasJar and wondering if this is the correct thing to load.
It is the Extended ROM, not the OS Rom, and will therefore only contains the English T-Mobile additions.
hi its only 1.28 mb..im guessing its not the full version.. can you poist teh full version tahnbks
@ Wiz,
would you know the actual application name of these cabs? I'm just wondering what are the included apps that are not in JasJar
** dont want to run each cab to see what's worth it or not
thanks!
How did you access to the extended rom? I tired to access to it in order to remove the Arabic support of my JasJar, but I cannot get it, the soft of my 9090 do not seems to work
Thanks !
I used www.ghisler.com Total Commander for PocketPC and typed in \Extended_Rom\ in the command line and pressed enter. I then copied everything to storage card
Could you please indicate which one installs the T-Mobile coloured dialer skin?
Another thing: there is no difference in available memory (both program and storage) after a hard reset with installing T-Mobile extended ROM or wihout installing extended ROM. This could be the case due to the fact that the installed software has approximately the same size as the CAB-files. As I have no access to the Extende ROM (nor Windows folder via ActiveSync) I am afraid that I am missing valuable memory after installing from the file of Wiz and that somewhere the CAB files still exist on my device. Does someone know where I can find (and delete) the Extended ROM and which CAB-files I should install and what the meaning is of each CAB-file?
Many thanks in advance

Ok it works thanks, but... it is on "read only" cannot erase some stuff
The Extended rom currently cannot be "unhidden" or "made writable". We need the experts from XDA Developers for this .... The only thing you can currently do is copy them to a storage card and install them manually.
Incidentally I was wrong about the file that does the T-Mobile dialer skin etc. The file that should not be installed manually is:
Enable_VT_RTPlugin_0727_2_signed.CAB,
(I justed tested and confirmed that myself
Hi wiz

Wiz!
Would it mean that If I take the corrsponding cab: Enable_VT_RTPlugin_0727_2_signed.CAB from the O2 XDAExec extended rom I would Get the Dialer scin form the O2 XDA EXEC ?
PLus can someone PLease upload the extended ROM from JASJAR.
Oh and something else which cab file is responcible for the MSN ?
does anyone know which file includes the T9 dutch?
I do not want the rest I only want the T9 on my mda-pro back again
well I beleive it is the t9dutch.ldb I can get it off my MDA PRo it is still with the crappy t-mobile ROM, if that helps let me know and give me your e-mail adress. But again I saw this file in the windows directory, so maybe I am wrong and you need the install for it
where i can get the rom?
O2 english ROM
Yes ofcourse there is O2 english ROM. U can get it from XDA ftp site.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_FTP_Site
and then click ftp://xda:[email protected]
go there and then open Map Uploads ----- then go to Universal File the last right side and then open ---- Shipped ROMs and there you wil see xda EXEC rom and download it : this is direct ite but sometimes it doesnot work:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Universal/Shipped ROM/
Hi
Yes there is, I just did it and it works a treat! Its on the ftp site under shipped roms. Read the jasjar update guide elsewhere in this forum.
You'll need to install winrar in order to unpack the .exe from O2.
There are a few little oddities + if yr on t-mobile you wont want all the O2 junk. I'll post later what I did, I have stuff from O2, T-Mob and JasJar extended roms (but not much of each). An awful lot of sh1te comes with the device, and some simple messing is required to excise it.
I can tell you that in my experience:
- JasJar rom is slower than t-mobile (even before you install contents of ext rom.
- O2 Rom (with no extended rom) is quicker than MDA Pro rom
- O2 Rom + selection of cherrypicked cabs from mda/exec/jasjar runs better than t-mobile+tmobile ext rom.
Also, installing the XDA rom seems to fix the issue where the ruddy phone does not ring until 3rd ring when it is turned off. (I shall experiment with this more later) <--EDIT Nope, still does not ring until 3rd ruddy ring!
Anyway, i'll post a step-by-step, collating all the info from the helpfull chaps on here.
IMHO though, O2 run is currently the way to go.

And what about the German Hardware-Keyboard when I would install the English o2-Rom on my German MDA Pro? Would like to still have a German keyboard but an English OS. Like my Windows XP.

Hello Everyone,
I just joined this forum as i was able to buy a QTEk with the following details:
Version de ROM : 1.13.74 ESN
Version de Movil : 1.04.02
Version Protocolo : 42.37.P8
Version de ExtROM : 1.13.169 ESN
As I am more fluent in English than Spanish, I wanted to upgrade my ROM to English, but also I would need to Backup the ROM of the spanish version so if there are problems with the phone, I can flash it back to the original manufacturer installed ROM.
What program do I need to Backup the ROM (and restore in the future) before I start fiddling?
Also, I heard that I can erase Extended ROM. As of now, what can I use the space that I will gain from erasing the contents of the Extended ROM?
Also one thing i noticed is that some of the keys have rub marks coming from the upper part of the universal (the screen) I think they touch eachother when it is colsed. Is this a factory defect?
Finally, I don't know where to register and get support for my QTEK. Where do you download/search for patches? Where do I register this device? Should I have gotten an i-mate instead?
Thanks in advance for all your comments, guys.
Jorge

Hello Anybody out there?
I have posted this message 2 weeks ago, a few views but no answers so I'll go ahead and update you on what's happened:
Thanks to BUZZ_LIGHTYEAR I was able to RAW DUMP my Spanish ROM to a File which I exchanged for a decoded nk.nbf file from an unpacked English ROM Update (the QTEK WWE) then I encoded the RAW file so now I have a new nk.nbf file which i pressume is the Spanish verion.
I'm not sure if it'll make a difference that the rest of the files are in English but will this update any UNIVERSAL to the Spanish verion? Anybody needs Spanish ROM and is willing to test this out? I can send you the Files needed? If it doesn't work you just have to flash back to the English. I haven't tested it yet because my device is originally Spanish so I have no fallback ROM if it doesn't work. But I followed BUZZ's instructions and I don't think it's gonna cause a problem.
Hmm,
seems this topic is very boring to everybody here, oh well....
Anybody has similar case of rubbed-out keys on the keyboard?
Just to show that there are persons available reading and having an opinion
Left and right of my keyboard, a little lower then the keys itself there are two outstanding rubber ? pads ? protecting the display from touching the keyboard, be it in portrait or landscape mode. So no, I do not have this problem.
Ruud
Mine have the rubber stuff too, Maybe i have them a little low... Could I possibly get a replacement? I don't think this can be considered wear-and-tear as i only had my phone for 1 month..... And the "damage" was caused by open/closing of the phone. Not using of the keyboard.
I would say certainly worth a try.
Good luck.
Ruud
i need spanish rom
I bought my qtek 9000 from O2 (UK) by ebay, it works great, but i need spanish software, i'd like to probe MoviStar, vodafone (if available) and free Spanish versions. I also need instructions or manual, i flashed a xda2 once, but i can't remember how i did, i think i put it in a special test mode. Thanks.
I have posted the QTEK Spanish ROM in the uploads section. Please look for it. Both OS and Extended ROM are there.
Just download the OS, and run the "noID" file to upgrade your QTEK to Spanish. Just remember that also the keyboard will be configured to Spanish (which has the "Ñ" character) so you have to re-map it back to whatever keyboard you have. You can search how to do this in the forums.
Just download the 2 said files, then you can upgrade your ROM. These ROM's are dated OCTOBER 2005
what do i need for backuping my system to a sdcard?
Im not sure. I backed-up to my PC. I think you can search here for grab_it program that dumps to SD card but i'm not sure it will work for WM5 or Universal
Well, how did you backup system to your pc?
and thanks again.
Actually, what i backed up was my OS nad ExtendedROM. No personal customizations.
You can see in my second post that i was able to do it thru steps i saw at BUZZDEV.NET thanks to buzz-lightyear.
It's under "how to d2s dump" you can follow my story there on how to backup ROM. Esentially it copies your operating system to a file on your PC which you can then install on another device after encoding/decoding.
I have posted my Spanish QTEK ROM on the FTP site so you can change your QTEK to spanish if you want.
What's your QTEK ROM version? all details please:
ROM Version
ROM Date
Protocol Version
Radio Version
Extended ROM Version

It is not a shipping ROM but you need 2 files:
1st: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/
QTEK Spanish ROM (1.13.74 ESN).rar --- This is the OS ROM
2nd: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/
QTEK ExtendedROM.rar --- this is the Extended ROM
i have the spanish extended rom, but the jasjar don´t reconice ?¿
thanks for alll
You have to install first the QTEK OS ROM then copy the Extended ROM after. Where in Spain do you live?
You can call me if you need more help. But i speak English, my Spanish is MIERDA
where unlock ?¿?
ok i live in malaga, do you have msn
mine is [email protected]
Hi all,
Firstly I would like to thank the moderators for providing such a great site.
Secondly I am hoping someone can give a real answer to my question.
I have an XDA Orbit phone with German (GER) ROM v1.25.207.1. I would simply like to change this ROM to an English (ENG) version, keeping all the same features I have (eg WIFI, GPS), just using the english language.
I have seen many posts about upgrading the ROM to a generic one, which as I understand it means I have to goto imeicheck.co.uk to purchase an unlock code. This then allows me to load a non-orbit ROM onto the orbit (eg generic Artemis ROM)
What I would like to do however is load an ENGLISH Orbit ROM onto my GERMAN orbit. I don't think I need to do the imeicheck.co.uk routine to load an Orbit ROM.
The problem I have is that I cannot find an english ROM for the orbit on any sites?. I am wondering firstly if anyone knows where I can download an english ROM for the Orbit. Secondly if no one has an english ROM, does anyone know if it is possible to dump the english ROM off an existing english handset if I find one?.
I am happy to upload this ROM for all the other users of the site. I think this is a common problem but very difficult to find a straight answer of what my options are to get english language on this device.
Thanks, Towelie.
rom location
tovelie:
try to use local ftp server to get required ROM.
_ftp://xda:[email protected]
it is in /Artemis/Shipped_Complete_Updates foder.
the ROM you are looking for is:
ARTE_DOPODAU_12570702_026990_WWE_SHIP.exe
there are few remarks. it is unlikely you will be able to re-flash your device, if it is not already CID unlocked.
CID unlock is available from imei-check.com.
please keep in mind that even with CID unlocked device there are problems discovered on Orbit, it still does not flash with another ROM.
hi fdp24,
thanks for your reply.
I assume from this you are saying that I can load the dopod firmware on the above ftp if I CID unlock, but if I do this there are problems with this firmware and the orbit anyway?
my understanding is that the CID unlock basically stops the phone checking the "vendor id" of the firmware (ROM) so you can load a generic firmware on it instead. I am hoping I can get an orbit firmware so I can just load it without the need for CID.
from further reading it would seem it may not be possible to dump the firmware/ROM from the handset as the commands to do this are now protected with a password?
Does anyone at all have an english firmware specifically for orbit? Is it possible to download this from o2?.
Thanks, Towelie.
I've read through the WWE thread and still haven't managed to find people's experiences with this ROM and their UK Orbit's.
Can people please post any issues, and more importantly if I'll brick my Orbit (as from the shop so unsure whether CID locked / unlocked) if I follow the steps in the original thread?
Thanks.
I had no luck. I'm waiting for WM6 ROM from O2 UK to get the phone working again as I can still access the bootloader.
Same for me. Followed all the steps, but still my phone bricked. Mine was CID locked, but because there were several succesful upgrades on CID locked devices I also tried it. I'm also still able to enter bootlloader, so just have to wait for retail WM6 ( have no RUU signed update to restore my device )
I moved from a Orbit with a HTC P3300 Rom (CID Unlocked) to a WM6 Bebe Rom at the first attempt.
It's so much quicker than the WM5 Rom. It's a lot more stable.
If you want me to post the steps and a Apps I've tested I'll do so tomorrow.
I couldn't get Bepe's to load with the boot loader, but the next part with the windows.nb file worked..........
Sort of, I think the bluetooth is not working properly as I can't create a port to allow me to sync with my pc. Apart from that it is working fine. (Touch wood)
doesn't seem worth the risk...
sounds to me like it isn't worth trying at the moment then! shame cause i want to get wm6 running but would rather not have a bricked device ... and the odds look high!
come on o2... where's our official rom?
I've just upgraded my O2 Orbit and it worked fine. CID unlocked it with IMEI-Check and then followed Bepe's instructions.
mmmm... fair enough but i just don't wanna shell out $20 to get a cracked rom...
If I am not mistaken is it not £20 as opposed to dollars I would pay a tenner but like you I will wait for £20
Does anyone know if HTC will require an actual P3300 IMEI in order to download the WM6 update when and if they release it?

probably, they will require you to give this to prove you have a HTC branded device. TBH they shoudl provide a ROMforAll no matter what provider you have you should be able to upgrade to a clean manufacture rom.
for those who have O2-Orbit UK and can access only bootloader, did U try to flash german WM6? just run file downloaded from german o2 (without any hexedits etc. just run xdaorbit-windows-update.exe). I think it should work, because CID lock is not to lang version, but for operator (02_01) and both UK and DE Orbit are ARTE2000. Worth a try. If it works let it boot to calibration screen plug usb cable and reflash using bepe's ROM. Let us know. I'm not sure if it'll work, I'm CIDunlocked.

Do you think the same would apply if you Hex edited ARTE10000 to ARTE2000? Sily question, I know, but is that the only level of security that actually looks for model ID?
in o2 ger image its already ARTE***** so u dont need to change anything (it means it shoul work for arte100,110,1000,200 models maybe 300 as well - htc love) But this is looking only for ModelID, in ROmUpdate Util it checks somehow for ModelVendor/Operator - addr:x0003BA6C - password BsaD5SeoA
I also "BRICKED" my Orbit. I am also the impatient type. Why wait for O2 to release a ROM image? I have spoken with O2 directly. My friend even works for their technical division. As far as I have been able to find out, from friends and his friends at O2, there is NO O2-UK WM6 in the pipeline at the moment. Not enough users apparently. When I found out this I put my Orbit into O2 shop for repair. It was flashed under warranty as a software fault. I have since CID-unlocked it and flashed to WM6.
Absolutely amazing. WM5 to WM6 is night and day. So much faster and a lot nicer looking too.

My experience: O2 Orbit bought in CZ. My way was: CID unlock -> try-and-brick (...) -> German original O2 WM6 ROM (with bootloader) -> Arte WM6 from bepe.
I am very happy now (extremly stable!) and at this moment I do not plan even upgrade to a new ROM.
Btw solved the issue with localization (keyboard only - Resco works perfectly) and external keyboard support for my beloved iGo Sierra bluetooth keyboard: AE Keyboard mapping SW solved my needs
MY experiences
Being a corporate O2 customer, when I bricked my Orbit they sent me a new one and said I could do what I wanted with the old one.. it's still a brick, having tried every suggestion on this forum!!!
MY new one, however, is running Bepe's WM6, having run the USPL first.
I tried Black&Blue, but found it drained the battery too quickly, and I reall ydon't need all the extras it comes with. I've got Bepe's WM6 running brillianlty - all I add is a cracked version of TomTom 6.02, which runs perfectly, BatteryStatus purely for a power display, no overclocking needed, and TodayAgenda for improved calendar on Today.
I use push mail to connect to my office exchange server, and have all my personal mail ending up at fastmail.net, where I connect to using IMAP - deleting from the phone deletes properly on the IMAP server now, unlike on WM5, so you really can have a synchronised mailbox usin IMAP and a free account at Fastmail.net...
I also have JetwareMobile installed to enable me to use my Siemens HKW600 Car kit (£40 on ebay, superb!), and I have some Sony DR-BT30Q bluetooth headphones which work perfectly...
I have a CID LOCKED UK o2 Orbit. I ran the USPL program by Prof and then Bepe's WWE ROM.
worked fine and WM6 is great!

Yes, but that doesn't work if you've already bricked your Orbit
Does anyone happen to have a WM5 ROM to restore to if the WM6 goes horribly tits up - I'm not overly looking forward to the idea of not having the pride of the mobile fleet working... the humiliation!
