Download the Tmobile ROM from the Tmobile site or this forum's FTP. Flash it. I have used flashed my 8125 with the Tmobile ROM so that my friend could use it for a week and the 8125 actually works better with the Tmobile ROM.

help 8125 to t-mobile

Help. I have an unlocked Cingular 8125 unlocked which I need to use with T-mobile. Dos any one have any ideas if I can use the MDA from t-mobile or is there something else out there????

"Unlocked" means it is unlocked, so you can use it on T-mobile without problem!
you also load T-mobile SDA ROM on it to competely convert to T-mobile phone

How to check simlock/netlock

I have just bought an MDA Compact III (Artemis) with WM5 sold as unlocked. If I can use any SIM card and all nets, can I assume that it is superCID and proceed with WM6 flashing from microSD with any WM6 rom find in this forum?
No if i'm not mistaked simUnlocked and CID unlocked are different.
I had a CIDunlocked device but still needed to use the USLP method to flash my new ROM.

Thanks for your quick reply. The PDA should be simunlocked and also netunlocked. CID unlocked is not the same as netunlocked?
Nope, it is not. NetLock is T-Mobile's very own name for SIMLock... All their devices come with NetLock now, which means they do not accept SIM cards other than T-Mobile. So if you have a net unlocked device, you can use it with any carrier, but it still may be CID Locked.
Thanks for your help. The PDA works with all SIM cards and al nets.
I will use the USLP method anyway.
hi mate! did you manage to flash your compact III with WM6? i want to upgrade mine as well but not sure what to do?

I've flashed my MDA Compact III successfully. (I've unlocked it previously through IMEIcheck.co.uk)
If your's is unlocked (Netlock, Simlock) than you should be able to flash it right away with 4.1. For the other ROMs I'm not shure, you should maybe run USPL first..
I also flashed my MDA Compact III With German O2 WM 6 ROM, but i also had it unlocked via Imei-check.co.uk, both CID and NETLock were Removed... Again, your Device might be free for any SIM Card, than it is NETunlocked but could still be CID Locked. So i would recommend you to run USPL first, before trying to install any ROM

MDA Compact III doesn´t start :-(

Hello,
yesterday i received my MDA Compact III from T-Mobile.
I remove the sim+CID Lock without any problems.
And then I wanted to flash an new rom.
I use the Artemis Update SPL method but now my Mda doesnt´start :-(
It stopps on the T-Mobile screen with the following Text :
IPL: 1.13.0001
SPL:1.13.0000
GSM:02.49.90
OS:3.4.0.0
I´ve done a hard reset three times but it doesn´t work and i can´t connect to activesync how can i repair my MDA:-(
What can I do?
Sorry for my bad englisch ;-)

As I can see you didnt use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403.
Can you get in to the bootloader?
If you do then you can put an original rom back. If you don't then send it to the service.
An unlocked device is out of warranty so be prepared to pay for the service.
Go to wiki of Artemis there you can find the method to get in to the bootloader.
Goof luck! << you need that.
Yes I can get in to the Bootloader.
But no ACtive Sync Connection :-(
How can I flash the new rom without ActiveSync?Is it possible?
you have the original SPL so I can't say if it is possible.
I'm at the moment trying to make an rom for p3300 and til now all my rom's where bad and I had to use some official rom to get it back to normal.
I use P800w_SEA_ENG_WM6_Upgrade_20070713 rom to do that.
This is a wm6 rom but I always make sure that I have indeed have uspl/spl 1.1000 before any cooked rom.
