Heey people,
I've got a dutch t-mobile mda pro, i have unlocked it and used the latets t-mobile dutch rom on it.
Now is my question: I feel it is time to once again update and t-mobile probably won't update the pro any more because they pulled it out of the stores in the Netherlands.
So my question is which rom should I use (and a way for my t-mobile configuration for gprs umts mms and so on to be put back)
And what sort of programs do you guys propose (tt6 gets on it so please remeber that) and please when you name a program give a description of it.
And what other kind of update do you propose like registry hacks or something of the like
with greetz and anticipation,

... but want to make some changes. Is someone who nows how to:
*remove the T-Mobile coloured dialer pad (phone pad) and changes the colours back to the original Windows Mobile colours
*remove the T-Mobile logo and put back the normal operator name. I am going to have the SIM unlocked, but he point is that even if I use Vodafone the operator name is the T-Mobile logo
If the above can be solved by not installing a part of the extended rom (but I do ot know what part), than please advise me. Maybe I have to change to the Qtek ROM when available. Can I just delete the extended ROM in WM5?
Hoogerhuis,
1: Hard reset your MDA Pro, reset it when it says that it starts installing the additional applications
2: Download the following file ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/mda_pro_eng_nl_extrom.zip, copy the contents to an SD card, and on your MDA PRO install all the cabs *except* TMO_NL_UI_0727_signed.CAB which contains the User Interface for T-Mobile.
** Do not launch the exe files or autorun.exe, or it will install everything out of the extended rom.
Actually 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
Wiz, many thanks. I indeed tested it myself also and saw which one was the problem. You could use the i-Mate jasjar version of that file, although I don't know what that file does besides changing the dialer skin.
Are you also Wiz at PocketPC-club.nl (now PocketInfo.nl)?
No, installing the Jasjar equivalent will not set it back to default. The Jasjar uses the standard WM5 dialer skin and therefore does nto need to customize it.
The Jasjar file only contains the Ringtone Player plugin, the T-Mobile one contains the Ringtone Player plugin + the TMO Dialer skin
I now have an internally unbranded MDA PRO. The only thing is that I miss the IntelliDialer and can not access the smartdialing options. What is the trick here ...
yeehaa! that's exactly what i was looking for!
This thread made me donate since i was looking for exactly this solution for so long!
I've already tried it and it works perfect.
now the only thing i still need is a today & dialer Theme (for the universal) that rocks (just like the halo theme - does anybody know where to get it?)
How did you get the MDA pro English? I just called them and they can't even say exactly when it will be available to buy here.
Cheers,
Joe
Hi guys,
next time: to remove dialer pads from brands: just change your register! or get some advancedconfig freeware. all done in a jiffy.
Greetings from the fats lane

I just installed the customised dial pad .CAB and it looked rather lovely...
As far as the rest - plenty of into in these forums, just have a good search.

I have a Cingular 8525 and it is unlocked and I use T-Mobile service with it. I see that T-mobile has released the WM6 upgrade...http://home.businesswire.com/portal...d=news_view&newsId=20070502006572&newsLang=en
My question is should I upgrade using the T-mobile version or should i wait and get the cingular version of WM6? Also, is it worth the trouble to upgrade? Im a pretty heavy user of all the features of the phone.
Also, what software would you recommend me using to backup my programs on my phone if i do upgrade?
Thanks in advance,
Rjp20
tell me how that works out loading a WM6 smartphone ROM on your hermes i would love to know...
45 posts no less you would have thought but i guess that just goes to show its not how many its what they say!~

I would say "Yes" Go ahead and upgrade your phone with that Rom.
Is it worth the trouble; well Tell us the trouble you have after you upgrade to the t-mobile rom.
As for Backup software I would suggest ArcServe 7. Oh wait I think ArcServe has a newer mobile version!
Seriously, you should read the wiki and maybe a few threads before upgrading (or should I say bricking) your phone.

If you wernt so fast to be a SMART ASS you would realise that they have ALSO released a version for the MDA and the Dash...
90 post no less... Your post was pointless and not helpful at all. It just showed how much of an ASS you really are
As I understand it, Cingular has a load of bloatware installed - but if you use this stuff then the t-mobile ROM won't include a lot of it and you'll need to install it by cab files. A lot of the cabs are included in some of the xda-dev WM6 ROMS. Using the Cingular ROM should also keep you in warranty if anything goes wrong.
If you're a heavy user of the standard phone functions then either the Cingular or t-mobile ROMS should be ok (but remember to make a note of your wireless/data/mms settings or get the cab file to re-install them - maybe here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_provider_cabs ).
With both of the above ROMS you get the official support through the customer service help lines. This will generally be limited to a twat who knows ****-all about phones except that the one superglued to his ear hurts after a 12 hour shift.
If you want good WM6 ROMS with good support (not always immediate but often quicker than queueing for a helpdesk) then try Black or LSVW. Both are great and most annoyances or problems have been found and already resolved.
As for the backup software, all the stuff I need backed up is already synced with outlook. The actual program files I always re-install after a ROM upgrade - I think this is the safest way. A piece of software which is always mentioned when people ask about backups is SPB backup http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/?en. I can't recommend it because I don't use it, however it seems to be highly regarded.

Using a 8525 on T-Mobile myself I would love to know where I can find the T-Mobile WM6 rom for the MDA. I followed the T-Mobile link but there is no WM6 update. Thanks for your help.

You can't be serious.
Have you read a frickin' thing in your 40+ posts?
Load that Dash ROM on anything, right? ****, put it on your Panasonic wireless 5.8 GHz phone while you're at it.
Gimme some of what you're smokin', dude.
You know that the MDA is a Wizard, and your 8525 is a Hermes, right? You will brick your phone if you don't follow the instructions for a Hermes.
As for bloatware, Black 3.0 is the newest and fastest ROM out there.
t-mo mda is for WM5.0?I
i looked at the "do i need this upgrade?" and it says it's WM5.0. Is anyone sure that this is for WM6.0 and not 5.0? The dash upgrade clearly says 6.0.
Oops, I brick my phone. . . Perhaps not. Was it a wizard or hermes? I don't know. Just gimme a link to some WM6 roms and I will flash them iusing Vista. Probably more than one rom at a time.
p.s. Please don't take this seriously. Enjoy!
It was announced

That T-Mo was releasing WM 6.0 for the MDA. Can you get into the OS.NB file and check the build dates?
Otherwise, look up Faria's Wizard ROM and unlock your phone. I used Faria's on my K-Jam before I switched to a TyTN.
Simply looking for anyone who is currently in the philippines and could tell me how to maximize hte use of my 8525 with all the f*** crap operator settings out here.

That's 2 different things, maybe 3. Do you want to change the 'splash screens' - that come up when you soft reset... (In attachments), or the theme?

Well you could jusr unlock the SPL and then flash the device with one of the cooked WM6 ROM's. That will make the Orbit look like a standard HTC P3300
Thats what i did with mine anyway
I'm very new to Winmo, comming from years of PalmOS. Have just got a TreoPro, in Australia, and want to remove all the carrier customisation? Is there a way to do this? Perhaps stop it happening in the first place, in WM6.1 on the Pro?

have you tried doing a soft reset before the customisation starts?
The problem with Telstra roms is they tend to leave out lots of things and sometimes cripple some things as well.
I had a jamin and the telstra rom was much smaller than the standard WWE rom.
No harm in trying this.
I am not sure if there is a dedicated forum for the treopro here , but if you look I am sure it is possible to flash a non customised rom that includes the carrier settings for other carriers if you wish.
Make sure you read a bit and apply an appropriate unlocker and SPL first.
