I used to have a Wallaby, which took a few swims, so i now have a Universal, I haven't done a rom install in a while and can't remember exactly how to do everything. Could someone give me a step-by-step or point me in the right direction, Thanks
O2 XDA Exec
I-Mate Rom
1.30.68 WWE
Radio: 1.09.00
Ext: 1.30.153 WWE
(hoping to upgrade to rc1 with full extRom)
... and you have read http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal and now you want to ask what questions ? You really need to be more specific.
Sorry, this was supposed to go into the aku3.2 topic (see, i'm a newb at posting too) and i wasn't sure how to install the extended rom image, as the aku3 upgrade is self-installing. Thanks
Sound Issue
One more issue for you hardware gurus out there. My audio isn't working (since the headphone jack thinks it's plugged in) and i have been able to open the device to see the jack, but i really don't know what it is that is causing the problem. If someone could show me graphically (pictures or drawings) what connections i need to move, i would be GREATLY appreciative, thanks all

Don't get upset but you really should read the site a bit more before posting such a thread.
Everything you need to know is right here if only some of you guys would search and have a read first.
To take the edge of the above lol here is where everything you need to know is read carefully before attempting anything you can damage your device.

Good Luck
Guys
I am on my knees genuflecting wildly..

But to be honest... I have searched alot.. reading loads of threads that didnt quite say what I needed..
But anyways... thanks ALOT for the pointer

Hi again..
HELP!! I must be really dense.. I am not sure how I managed to procreate..
But I've downloaded the /O2_UK_XDAIIs_WWE_13100_139_10600_SHIP/ file.. and I've applied the changes as per http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_GettingStarted
Now before I actually RUN this against my working phone, I am wondering, if as well as upgrading the windows operating system, will it change my phone from a look and feel t-mobile environment to a O2 one??
Am I right in thinkng that the extended rom is the O2/T-Mobile specific programs??
Basically I am looking for My T-Mobile with the latest microsoft windows OS..
THanks for your patience and help
You're going to have to put in a bit of time and effort to get what you want.
The update has three parts, Base OS, ExtROM and Radio ROM.
The first and last will be OK, but the ExtROM is customised for each provider (ie O2, Orange etc).
It might be best unlocking your ExtROM (search for how), and save it. Work out what is OK, what needs updating and what is operator customisation. assemble a set of CAB files that match all the criteria for your phone and T-Mobile.
Replace the ExtROM with the files you have assembled and then update the base OS and radio ROMs, leaving the ExtROM as you have just altered it.
When the upgrade is finished a hard reset will run your new ExtROM with specific T-Mobile customisations you have gathered.
Although I didn't need to change the Base OS and Radio ROMs, I did manage to convert an XDA IIs to an SPV M2000 by altering the ExtROM, so the method works.

Hi, I'm thinking about upgrading my MDAIII cos I'll probably die/kill myself before tmobile does anything about it :evil:
What did you end up with in your external ROM to keep all the tmobile gubbins. And did it work the same as before?
The tmobile stuff might not be great but don't know what the phone would be like without it.
Also any chance of you zipping up your ext rom and putting it on the ftp?
Upgrading T-Mobile Roms
A word of warning - be careful if you use the Blackberry (Insant Email) Service with T-Mobile UK, as it has been reported that it will not work with any radio higher than 1.06.
Good luck with upgrading and please post back for us less brave MDA III owners
No worries about Blackberry here. I would remove it anyway more than likely if doing a ROM upgrade as its not doing anything for me other than taking up space.
Sure..
I am decorating the house at the moment... But I will zip up my existing ext rom this weekend.. and I;ll let you know whats working...
Theres a generic 1.40 rom floating around on this site.. when I got theres a ext rom with that... and all I did was take the T-Mob cabs from my existing rom and dropped them in the ext rom directory..
But I will take my existing ext rom from my phone and zip that up for you..
so far everything is working... havent had any real problems with the phone SO FAR!!

Hi,
did you get chance to upload the ROM yet? I've had a look round on the ftp and can't find it. Don't mean to be an a*?e chasing you if you haven't had time yet, just wondering if its me being stupid not being able to find it :?
Dude!
I am really sorry it took so long, I have had a really bad week..
Well the good news is that I have just zipped my external rom for you.. but for some reason I cant upload it to the ftp site.. (mind you I am not entirely sure where to put it)
It comes in at 12MB so I cant email it.. so the alternatives to me finding it is you giving me an msn messenger Id and I could send it from there..
i will continue to look to find a way to upload it..

Hi
For my sins I have upgraded?? to a MDAIII. I have found this site due to few problems, BT, backlight settings to name a few and I have noticed a few members, have got upgraded specs than I have. Can someone help re my current specs, as to what they are and if I need to have them. Thanks in advance.
My phone is 2 weeks old!

PS why cant I send anything via BT except files and why does it switch off after exiting TT?
Thanks again
Sorry to say this but you need to read wiki.
Don't be Scared
Hi There..
As MDAIIIUser states, read Wiki.. (The link is posted in the top LH corner of all windows on this site..)
Once there, Follow the required instructions..
I have to say, if you feel like you need to post such questions then perhaps you shouldn't be thinking of upgrading your MDA3..
ie, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! :lol:
Also, I recommend doing searches on items before requesting help as you'll find that someone has probably asked the question before and someone such as MDAIIIUser has come up with the answer.
Hope this helps..?
Hi
I am going to start using my PDA2K again as a temporary replacement for the Vodafone V1620 I am giving up on.
My PDA2K has the 1.4 rom with 1.12 Radio.
BEFORE I go to all the trouble of reloading all my programs, data etc.
Should I be doing any upgrades?
And is there a real 'stupid persons' guide to doing the upgrade?
Cheers.

25 Post and you have not been to wiki ???
Link in sig
Well yes I have been there.
But I have to be honest and say that much of it was WAY over my head.
All this talk of cooking this and that, external roms......
I am not sure I have seen an idiots guide and I REALLY need one.

Well we have a page on how to upgrade to the lateest 1.42 rom which if followed is prity close to an idiots guide (bar the fact we have not mentioned that you need to turn on your pc to do it).
This will get you a rom that smeels of even stinks of t-mobile.
Maybe you can live with that (I have in the past).
If you can't then you need to learn about cooking your EXT rom.
UPgrading is not a past time that should be taken up by "Idiots" (your wording) as this can lead to a paper Wheigt that looks like a BlueAngel.
When I came to this site I had a German MDAIII running on a Swiss network. All I wanted was a god damm English rom which T-Mobile would not give me, I-mate how ever would.
This site has alllowed me to understand how to upgrade, given me the files to do this and answerd a lot of my question (only after I learnt how to ask them).
Given your situation with 1.40 and 1,12 radio I can only sugest that upgrade the radio (link in wiki ) to 1.13.
So far I have not seen any issue that have been fixed with 1.42 as in confirmed that they have been fixed. However If I was to falsh me device again I would use the 1.42.
Have fun.
hi MDAIIIuser,
I am on 1.40 rom now and still debating if its worthwhile upgrading to the 1.13 radio. What are your thoughts on this?
1.12 seems to work ok for me so far.
I thought for a simple solution I would upgrade just the radio and maybe the bluetooth.
When I followed the link on Wiki for radio 1.13 I got a .rar file.
What is one of these?
My PC does not have a clue what to do with it.
I have to explain that I am not PC computer literate being a long term Mac user that 'just works' some of this Windows stuff makes me want to swear. )

Does anyone know WHAT I have to do with this piece of junk (Xda11s)to make it work,It "freezes" on average 3 times a day,soft reset usually is a disaster as it wipes off EVERYTHING.Active sync is a joke as I have to rename and re connect most times (it keeps telling me ,this device name is in use!).Try as Imay,it refuses to pair with my bluetooth satnav (even though it says it has).It really doesn't appear to be a lot of good and I'm regreting buying the damn thing.All the above functions barring the renaming thing(is there something I should know?)work perfectly with my Xda11 and it's as stable as you could wish.Any thoughts or views would be much appreciated,thanks,Rocket
PS you may have gathered -------I'm old and no TOOooooo computer literate(though I try!!) :x
1) Well try posting in the correct forum
(I moved the thread)
2) Read wiki
(Its in my link)
3) Give us some info like what rom you are on or anything to go by.
(Like be helpful)
4) breath wihile you post
(Makes it better to read)
Xda11s crash coure
Well here goes, hope I'min the right place,I am ,after all,new to this(and yes I am breathing,last time I looked)
ROM version 1.13.00
ROM date 12/13/04
Radio version 1.06.00
Protocol version 1337.38
ExtRom vrsion 1.31.139
I have downloaded the Rom version from your link to my desktop but will it make any difference being T-mobile when mine is on O2?Sorry if I appear dense ,but I am (you would if you didn't have the knowledge of my subjects,I too am an expert in my fields,though not in this one,so please bear with me).Rocket
Your not dense but you might be new
Based on ext rom 1.31.139 have the latest UK o2 rom
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Upgrades
What you could do is upgrade the radio to 1.15 or 1.13
(many feel 1.13 is better)
What you could do is upgrade your rom to 1.42
Now with a rom update you need to cook your ext rom or use the ext rom that comes with the update. This will mean that your device will smell like a T-mobile, have T-mobile as the splash screen when you boot and your mms settings will be t-mobile.
All of this you can change via the forum.
Wiki is the best place to go and follow the instructions on it and read the forum. Most of the questions you will be asking have been answered.
I am not a tech person with these things but my device has been super stable since I bought Spb Pocket Plus.
I used to reset every day now I only reset about once a month.
I love my iPaq to death. I really do. But I want to stab Windows Moblie 5 in the eye IN THE EYE. Particularly since I have version 1.0.1. Can some kind folks recommend me the version/custom-build of WM6 that works best with the hx2xxx or even better the hx24xxb? I am eternally in your debt for saving me from the monster that is WM5.
Sincerely,

Hello? Anyone?
check my website out, http://wm6.flyingarizona.net
Alright, I'm running into problems. I can hard-reset just fine, but when I try to get into the white bootloader, I just get a white screen, no USB anything. I've tried both 1.02.00 h and 1.00.00 h. Both do the same thing. Also, when I try to flash to the WM6 rom, I get an Invalid SKU error... I realize you guys are all very busy and tired of the WM6 problems, but could someone PLEASE help me?

dpdurst, I have check your website, and notice that the ROM is for Hx2750, I have an iPAQ hx2495b with 192 mb ROM. Do you think if it will work for me?
Thanks
The roms for hx2000 series work and your device. And I think that the procedure is the same or very similar like for hx2490b, and for this reason I suggest the thread at my above post.
Hi dancer_69, I have just yesterday upgrade my hx2495b to WM6 using dpdurst ROM. But I have a question, why I cannot user messenger?
Just download an updated version, I think you can find it here in the forum. Use search
