Here's the way to update your ROM to imate but we still haven't gotten to the original rom. "Anyone??"

MDA pro
Please can anyone with the original NL ROM make a dump and upload it
Thank you very much!

it seems that the mda pro has d2s commands turned off. So the device is locked from getting image dumps.
At least I have no clue how to make one with the current tools.
btw. How can you make a extended rom that can be used with the upgrade program. I want to revert back to my original rom, but it seems there is no possible way to do it.
Does anyone know the gprs settings for the mda-pro as it is not entered in the imate image.
ps I have the mda-pro dutch version.

Try a different settings.
Create a new connection.
Now use the following settings:
Access Point Name: internet
username: tmobile
password: tmobile
Do not change or enter any server settings.

Sorry, I couldn't help it, you have to admit, it was a rather funny typo! :lol:

OK I see most of the guys are dutch so I can ask...
I want to change the ROM of my Dutch MDA-PRO unlocket with KPN subscription to the JASJAR ROM, is it risky and does it work wel.
What is missing in the JAS JAR ROM, like maybe the Dutch t9 or any other settings does the video call work ?
What happens if there is a new JASJAR ROM will it symply install or do we have to patch things again ??

Rom Change
Churchill Why don't you ask WIZ and BarnOwl they know the ins and outs.
Good Luck

Actually, I don't know anything yet about the differences between the stock MDA rom and the Jasjar rom published here.
Except the fact that it has a slightly higher rom number, that is......
And because my stock MDA Pro is one of the most stable phone edition devices I used so far there is no reason whatsoever to change to Jasjar rom and void my T-Mobile warranty completely.
If there is a way to make a complete rom image then the situation is different ofcourse. But I have not found a way to do that yet......

Branding Question

Hi!
sorry, if i´m in the wrong thread and please excuse my english :?
i´ve got a "n00b" question concerning the branding of a MDA Pro/QTek 9000/HTC Universal.
Please correct me if i´m wrong: :roll:
The branding is performed after a hardreset and can be interuppted via a softreset after rebooting.
the branding also includes the network parameters for UMTS/GPRS/MMS/SMS/etc...
Is there a *.CAB file where all these configuration information is stored?
if not - how is the configuration done?
why i´m asking this:
i want to update my ROM, but i don´t want to enter all configs by hand...
Thanks in advance for your help :roll:

there is indeed a cab file for this
i dont know which one it is for your provider... i only know which one it is for the dutch t-mobile settings
you could find wich one it is:
1) copying the current extended rom to your SD card
2) hard reset and soft reset before the custimazation or update to new rom (incl. extended rom)
3) start the 1st cab file and install
4) check if settings are made
5) go to step 3 and use the next cab file, until you found the one that does the correct settings you want.
6) use it in the new rom (put it in extended rom or keep it in SD card)
alternatively you could install the new rom without the extended rom
[edit]
gprs and mms probably have different cabs, they do in the t-mobile rom, so search till you know which cabs you want

hi bartjan!
thanks for your reply. i also got t-mobile. could it be that there is a naming convention for the files ?
do you know which one(s) did it for you?
i want to get the brand out of the MDA - thats the main reason why i want to flash. would it make sense then to flash without the ext_ROM ?
thanks

these are the ones i use for my tmnl (T-Mobile NetherLands) settings
one is for my internet, one for MMS and i dont remember what the tird one for is. dont remember which does which also :wink:
if you want the brand out you shouldnt flash without the extended rom indeed.
you could remove the extended rom in this rom (and keep warranty) or flash entirely and use a better and faster rom with aku2 and a2dp support if needed.

Depends also on which bits of branding you want to get rid of.
First, there's the physical printings of tmobile on the alu plate and next to the screen and keyboard. The one on the alu plate can allegedly be removed with a sugarcube without damaging the alu underneath, but that doesn't work for the others.
Second, there's the "t-mobile" screen that pops up as, as it were, the BIOS screen, which is a special part of the OS rom and which you can change using some utilities found around here. Comes up before windows is booted, and then it will get the rom version superimposed on it, and only then you move on to the next bit:
The t-mobile screen while windows is booting, which is also part of the OS ROM (I think) but in the regular filesystem somewhere (?).
Then fourth there's the t-mobile 'theme', pink and white everywhere and a special today screen. That can be turned off in settings>today. The actual presence of the theme is again in OS rom, but the extended rom as its first action actually turns it on. You can easily edit that out of the config.txt in the extended rom if you want (it's the exec cusTSK.exe line).
Then there's the t-mobile Today screen plugin with the 5 icons. Not entirely sure when that comes on. I think it should be extended rom but I can't find it in any of those cabs. Experiment.
And then there's a whole load of other subtler stuff.

hi!
many thanks for the replies!
going to sync. my mda tomorrow - maybe the files are the same (except the language part)
removing the branding on the plates doesn´t interest me 8)
just software branding is what i get rid of.
going to get the qtek rom (1.3x.xx) but first of all i have to check which bootloader i got. don´t know at the moment.
thanks for the tips removing the "branding screens and themes" maybe i´ll need it for the qtek rom?! :roll:
i would like the rom because of speed, i don´t want to listen to "stereo" music via bluetooth and at the moment i don´t need push email (especially looking at the battery times when using it)
thanks and have a nice day

The Qtek rom doesn't have numbers 3, 4, and 5, just number 2 (except that it says QTEK, of course), but that's relatively easily rectified and also a fairly minor problem, given that it only shows up for 10 seconds or so, only after a reset.

thanks!
didn´t have time this weekend to sync. maybe i´ll get it this week.
thanks for the replies!

anyone tried this with uk t-mob mda compact iii

heading says it all really - i'm cid locked btw.
cheers

Yes, thanks to This thread.
Worth noting again, that first time around under Vista did not work, I had to dig out an XP based PC to re-flash the original T-Mobile UK WM5 ROM. I then ran the procedure a second time under XP and it worked. The OS may or may not have been the factor, first time round might have been something else. XP was required to restore the original ROM.
The update to WM6 was well worth it in my mind even if purely for the instantly noticeable speed increase of the software.

thanks gajet - i'm gettign more and more tempted. one more thing - where could i get hold of the original t-mob uk rom - just for safety.
cheers
si

if its anything like finding a WM5 tmobile NL rom i'll wish you good luck. couldn't find one after bricking my own MDA CIII trying to upgrade it to WM6.
if you brick it your only choice is to wait until the official WM6 release from tmobile UK or send it back to them for repair

hi fout
well looking at gajet's post it seems there is a uk rom out there in the wild - just wondering where i might find it....
si

I actually found you the link in the main WM6 WWE topic, it links directly to the file on rapidshare.
here you go: http://rapidshare.com/files/17854890/art_tmouk_11311001_024990_wwe_ship.exe
and good luck upgrading your device, can't wait until mine gets back

thx fout - i thought i'd seen it somewhere - you found it - cheers!
si

ok guys - i did it! worked first time - heart in mouth for 15 mins but well worth it. got all my apps working no problem and remembered to write down the t-mobile gprs settings for once!
one other benefit for uk t-mob. on web&walk standard you can't use your phone as a modem - but with this setup you can fabulous!
cheers

Installed it today on my MDA3c T-Mobile
But where can I configure the SMS messaging center # (+447958879879) ???
solved
from another thread (Hermes WM6) :
start>phone>menu(softkey)>options>services(tab). Select "Voicemail and Text Messages" then tap "get settings".

Hiya, that rom you posted, what rom is that? Is it an official t-mob one or is it converted from somone else? Thanks
Oh, and how does it work on the UK MDA with its missing wifi?

hi danny
it works fine with the lack of wifi - just doesn't have a button in comms manager as before. the rom we're talking about in this thread is the official t-mob uk wm5 (five) rom - which is good to have in case the update goes wrong.
i'm using bepe's rom on my mda c iii and it's tons better than the original. just make sure you read the threads first for instructions.
good luck.

thanks, which wm6 rom do you recommend?

If anybody interested in my few hours expirience with MDA C III UK + WM6 here it is:
Device: MDA Compact III UK original ROM,
Unlocked before wth IMEI Check
First I used the USPL as advised by Pof here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311479
It didn't work first time. I had errors 260 and 270. I repeated the process and it went OK after second time. Then I flashed with the B&W V2 rom. It seemed to end OK.
Notes: Before the play I used latest SPB Backup and made full backup in FlightMode. First thing I did after waking the device in WM6 was restore from it. The process went OK. After restart I got tens of notifications about installing untrusted or something DLLs and EXEcs. After that it hanged and didn't even wanted to wake up anymore.
So - hard reset -> partial restore -> PIM data only and it worked.
Excel and Word are buggy in terms of file handling. You can forget about them for now or use only as readers.
Comm Manager was working only up to the first reset. Then all buttons are hiden under the last one in upper-left corner. You can actualy see them rendering one after another.
GPS checked using iGo 2006 - working fine.
Conclusion:
I'm going to check how it synchronises with Missing Sync on my Mac. The latest version sould work with WM6. If it works I think I'm gonna stay with it longer. Word & Excel is not used by me often enough to stop me trying this Rom. Comm Manager - though, can try to live without it.

I have just flashed with the black and blue rom and all is well apart from the comm manager, yup, all one big mess in the top left. think its something to do with wifi, it was fine on the first boot, it showed the wifi icon but now its reset its gone all funky.

HTC Diamond ROM on MDA Compact IV

Maybe a stupid question...
I've used the search function, but dit not find any related article about my question.
Question:
Is it possible to install and run one of the HTC Diamond ROMs on this forum on a T-Mobile MDA Compact IV (the HTC Diamond from T-Mobile) or will this be the end of the MDA?
I read that the hardware of the MDA is the same as the Diamond, but that doesn't answer the question. Maybe someone already succeeded with installing and running a HTC Diamond ROM on the MDA.
Thanks for the answers!

I am new to flashing ROMs and have been reading the forums here to try and work out how to do it.
As far as I am aware, yes you can flash any ROM to your device. I believe you will need something called Hard SPL - and your updated ROM.
Still not sure what 'Radios' are though lol...

Yes it is possible to install htc roms on mda compact 4 because it is basically the same device, not 100% same but you can use all software from the diamond on your device. But read below the important things.
HARD SPL IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO INSTALL OTHERWISE YOU WILL BRICK / DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE. CLICK HERE FOR LINK
2ND- you can choose an updated/cooked rom. whichever you like and follow the instruction given to flash basically simillar to hard spl.

From what I can work out I need the signed Hard SPL for ROMs which have been 'checked' and unsinged for anything else.
Can anyone shed any light on why I would need to flash a 'radio'?

OK! All of the stock Roms include the radio and most of the cooked Roms include one. But the radio is the software that allows your device to function as a phone/communications device. It is the GSM/GPRS/EDGE/3G/... communicator. So you will definitely want the radio ROM. If the radio is not included in the ROM that you flash, you can always flash the radio ROM by itself afterward (or before).

So did any of you manage to flash a Diamond ROM to MDA Compact?
I'm contemplating grabbing a German MDA unit and trying to flash a Diamond WWE into it.
Any suggestions?

yes it works fine.. as long as you carefully read and follow the steps you will be fine.
My mda compact 4 works well with 1.00.25.07 radio and rom which one you use of personal preference.. need to try a few and see which one you like.

I've just applied HardSPL 1.40 and the TLR Diamond Rom v3 to my UK T-mobile MDA Compact IV, no problems at all.
Applying this seems to have increased the amount of internal main storage to the same as the Diamond. as I understand it, the difference between the Diamond and the compact IV is the internal memory (not the 4Gb).
The Compact IV has 96mb for storage and the Diamond 128mb. This shows up as more like 117mb of usable on mine now i've flashed it, up from about 85mb.
Maybe someone else can confirm there's also increased, or is it a false reading?

The compact IV and diamond are identical. Only the shape is different. The reason why mda has less storage in ram is due to the crap tmobile put on.

flashed my MDA with the latest HTC ROM .. works perfectly .. didnt checked the rom

I'm also considering upgrading my stock UK T-Mobile MDA IV rom and really the only thing I'm worried about is that once done I won't have the correct settings to connect to the internet, etc. Are these settings retained? In other words will I be able to use my phone as normal straight after upgrading the ROM and/or radio?

Those settings are the least of your worries, they can be easily re-added.

Just to clarify, I'm not talking about general internet preferences (like font size, homepage and all that) but the settings t-mobile set for the phone to connect to their network (and GPRS, SMS, 3G network settings). For instance if I go into 'Connections' in the settings it says "T-Mobile Internet...This connection is pre-configured. It cannot be modified" Will these connection settings be retained after the ROM upgrade?

I also upgraded successfully my MDA with the latest HTC ROM. I used the unsigned HardSPL, with the signed one I did not manage.
After installation the phone asked me if I want to automatically reconfigure the internet access (or something like that), after that the T-Mobile Internet connection was back again. I guess this is a feature of the network/provider and it is not necessary something you need in your ROM.

The Network Connection wizard make that happend, because its in the Rom, so its very handy because its make your networks settings for you! And you can flash a new rom every day if you want
the Wizard make the settings(not your network/provider)

T-Mobile adds

Hello,
i have a new HTC Touch pro 2
how can i delete the Tmobile theme,software & add's
the phone is simlock free
but the adds are irritating me ,
how can i get the orginal htc theme & softwares

I don't know if this will work on the TP2, but on previous phones if you didn't want the carrier's crap installed, do a Hard Reset & right after it shows the WM splash screen do a Soft Reset so that the configuration doesn't start up.
You may want to try that.

is HARD-SPL safe ??
because i installed HARD-SPL on my HTC TOuch pro 1 , and it was tottaly bricked, i couldnt start
& what kind of HARD SPL do i need ?

ah its done now, thankyouu
