Hi,
I have got confused with the various bricked posts, misnamed WWE update posts etc.
What I would like to know is the following:
1. Does the imate update (english) work on the MDA Pro?
2. Does anyone have the original T-Mobile version for returning it to the release T-mob version?
3. Does doing an upgrade invalidate my warranty with T-Mob?
My issue with current roms is that the device crashes at least once a day, and I am getting fed up with reboots.
Thanks,
Joe
It works fine with the MDA Pro, I have mine running the JASJAR Rom.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/MDA_PRO_JASJAR_ROM_UPGRADE_WWE_11353_137_10301.zip
Download that, it has the No Device ID exe.
hi, did the ROM change speed up your MDA pro in any way? also does the video calling feature still work.
This really interests me too.. Any answers out there please?
P :?:
Mine does seem a little quicker, especially after overwriting the iMate supplied .tsk files for the homescreens.
WiFi a *bit* more stable, but not perfect.
So... If I download that file, unpack it onto my UK T-Mobile MDA PRO and run it, I will have the latest software on the MDA PRO?
Are there any 'issues'?
Will I lose any data\ programs\settings etc.?

You run the install from a PC, having put the phone into "bootloader" mode. As far as I know, its a newer ROM version than is supplied with the MDA Pro, and also doesn't contain the T Mobile customisation. It DOES include MSN and Skype as standard, as well as a couple of other bits.
It will totally wipe your phone / settings, but if you select T Mobile UK after you install the new ROM, most of the T Mobile settings are reconfigured for you. You just have to do the 3G one yourself, but the details are in another thread (possibly in the main Universal area of this forum).
Imate produce regular ROM upgrades for their other phones, so it is likely they'll release a new ROM before Orange / O2 / T Mobile manage it.

Just got the MDA pro. How do i upgrade the Rom? I dun really understand how to go to the registry as well? Any help?? Really appreciate it. Thanks.
The link for the update i mate jasjar rom is not working??
Someone moved it :roll:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_JASJAR_ROM_UPGRADE_WWE_11353_137_10301.zip
Newbie in need of help.
Thanks for the ftp link. Regarding about getting into the registry? How do i do that? And how do i update the rom.
I got some problem with my mda pro sync with my laptop?
It say cant detect the device. I cant install the driver either. Anyone have the same problem with the mda pro or only me?
Do anybody know how can i unlock the mda pro?
Thanks.
Reply really appreciated.
unlocking mda pro
Hi, I think the only way to unlovk the MDA at present is via the subsidy code from T Mobile. In the UK you can only do this after you have completed a month on contract and t mobile will charge you 15 pounds for the priviledge. On 02 the devices come unlocked for any network.
with ref to the ROM update to WWE jasjar, this is an absolute must for ALL t mobile users. I can confirm things are stable all round, but don't expect you can get away from those periodic resets - M$ seem to have built in this feature in all pocket PC OS ! - yes I am calling this a feature of the OS now.
Look around on the forums here on how to flash there are some very good posts about.
Remember, most important if you want stability only install essential software.

Mda pro usb activesync problem
Hi thank for the reply. You mean i should change it to the jasjar rom which is the link above? I am new to pda phones and need some help.
I cant connect my device to my laptop using usb. It say device not detected.
I install the software and it should work rite. Is there something i didnt do? I read the manual saying install the software then have sync relationship with the pc and device. How do i sync the relationship? Do i just plug in the usb to my laptop then it will automatically detect my mda pro?
Help. Thanks.

You just need to use the no device id update exe and it will work fine.

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.
hey everyone i recently purchased a cingular 8525 with wm5 and decided that it would be a good idea to upgrade to wm6 (don't know exactly why but i did it) anywho... after i did so i found out that the wifi does not work anymore and i'm new at this so i have no idea what could possibly be the prob. Before i upgraded the os, wifi worked like a charm didn't really have to configure it or anything just detect settings and available wireless signals etc and that was it. pleeeez ppl who ever knows what i'm talking about please pretty please help cuz this is annoying me
Hi
Which ROM did you upgrade to, also, did you flash HardSPL before that? which Radio ROM are you running, and does the WIFI actually turn on when you use the comm manager?
I upgraded to the WM6 Cingular USA version, I did not flash HardSPL before that. I assume that unless the upgrade from wm6 changed the Radio ROM I am running, I’m still running the same one that comes with the version of wm5 that came with the phone when I bought it (btw what is a radio rom? Sry for my ignorance) And yes the WIFI actually turns on when I use the comm manager in fact it all seems to work fine but I just cant access the internet with it, even though it detects a signal. It stopped working the moment I upgraded to wm6
After flashing roms I had the same problem..make sure under the tab network adapters the line that says My network cards connects to..is set on internet..most roms start out with it on work..that change always works for me
So i deceided to downgrade the rom from wm6 to wm5 and yes apparently it has something to do with the rom version because my wifi connection works again!! with the old version which is wm5, but the moment I upgraded again to v6 it stopped working and like I said everything in the settings seems to be working fine, there’s just no internet, I should just be happy with the old version of windows mobile but version 6 has some features that I really liked does somebody know why this is happening? and if yes is there a solution? It might b more obvious than I think but I really don’t know so I really appreciate those who post help and advise thank you!
Put it back to WM 6.0..we will figure out what is wrong. There are alot of really good people on this forum and the answer to your problem is here. WM 6 is so much better.
Thanx for the support and the advise. So i installed another version of wm6 this one seems to be for Dopod but at least the internet works!!, the one i previously installed was an official version of wm6 for cingular which like i said before, for some strange reason i was not able to use the internet with wifi my only concern with having this Dopod version is that... well... its for the Dopod and does not come with the features that cingular offers to AT&T/ cingular users like myself. But then again it seems like everything else works just fine I just wonder why the cingular version doesn't work?
Sounds like your a little new to this. Here one of the golden rules:check out the hermes wiki and learn alittle about the flashing process and the different roms and their settings. There are alot of good roms out there that set up for ATT users, like K's Rom ,which is what I've been using for months. Works fine right after flashing. It has the right amount of programs and tweaks. Do alittle research and it will be worth it. It may take a couple different roms to find what you are looking for. Make sure you HardSpl your phone(the guide of flashing is in the wiki) Good Luck
i second blackout128's post
read the wiki
install hard spl
flash to your hearts content!
although, make sure you read the threads first! good luck and welcome to hotel d'hermes!

Had same problem with WIFI using (RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_3.62.502.3_6275_1.54.07.00_108_UOOS_SVN05_Ship.exe) ROM. Had to disable the Cingular proxy. Select: START-PROGRAMS-PROXY MANAGER-DISABLE PROXY. After that, was able to connect to the internet with WIFI.
Hi guys
Could anyone help me to get full rom inc ext rom for orange UK.
I've got Xda trion from o2 - unlocked and my contract just finished so i 've put my orange card in it. phone is working fine
I've also flashed it wit WM6.1 MRH_5.0 and is working ok too but i dont have mms now.
Plese help with properly debranding my Xda from o2 Active to orange UK and be able to keep that nice today screen from MRH 5.0
I've got average knowledge about flashing etc so please give me simple solution
thx
There is, somewhere on this forum, a .cab for both MMS and GPRS settings in .cab files for Orange UK Contracts. I downloaded them myself about two days ago. I can upload the cabs from my phone if need be, but I'll try to find the post with them contained for you.
Edit: Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298813&page=3
Post #30, Page 3.
why not use htc connection wizard, it'll create settings for you?
Installing a cab that does it for you is easier.
So what i should do to remove o2 extended rom?
is this HTC conection wizard included in WM6.1 5.0 that i've already instaled?
I will be grateful for step by step instruction and advice which WM6.1 rom to use to have mms and video call
thank you
Tomas
thx ThinkTankInk
i've got these two files now but i'll wait maybe someone will tell me which WM6.1 ver is the best to use.
Personally I am using Schap's 3.54b. After I put this on my phone, I downloaded the cabs which I included in my previous post and installed them. Now I can make calls, video calls, MMS, SMS, GPRS etc. etc. connections. It's working flawlessly.
I'm not by any means saying this is the best way, but it's most comfortable for me and appears to be working flawlessly.
As I understand it, installing the cabs will just change your GPRS and MMS settings to connect to Orange regardless of which ROM you're on, even if it's O2's own.
Edit: I'm using WM6, not 6.1.
Thx again.
Well i'll try those cab files on the WM6.1 5.0 i got now coz i really like that HTC today screen with blac background and large whie clock thus its a bit slower that WM6.0
regards
HI
i have kaiser 130
I tried few diffrent android version but with evry version phone cant connect to network sometimes he connects for few minutes but not longer. With windows everything ok
I tried:
Incubus26Jc's Super Eclair Lite 2.1
Warm Donut RLS 5 with Kaiser updates integrated including battery
Im using
HardSpl 3.34
radio 1.70.19.09 (tried 1.70.18.02)
Protocol 25.83.40.02h
Maybe someone had same problem and can help me?
Sorry for my english.
i just checked i was editing nbh for Warm Donut RLS 5 with Kaiser updates integrated including battery
and i was using esclair not donut. (dum) Maybe in this is problem....
I has the same problem too ,waiting somebody give a method to solve this
Have you tried an older radio, such as 1.65.21.18?
No because in guide:"How to replace Windows Mobile with Android (Guide)" (sorry i cant paste link because im new user) is recommended 1.70.x and better here it is "#2 Does your Kaiser have a relatively new radio rom? If not then get one. Recommended to have 1.70.xx.xx and up. "
if it is radio fault so why on winMO with same radio working?
And one more thing kaiser with android finds not 02 but BTCellnet (in the beginning O2 was BTCellnet )
The same radio suggestion was made to me several days ago while trying to get audio working in android (via HaRET). Upping to 1.70.xx didn't fix my issues, but 1.65.xx did.
If you are able to test it in WM, you must still have WM installed. Are you booting android with HaRET?
No i think HAret if you installing to sdcard but im installing not in sdcard.
im doing all by this guide go here to read.
xda-developers > HTC Kaiser: Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III > Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development
> How to replace Windows Mobile with Android (Guide)
Yes, I know the sticky thread to which you have now twice referred. I am asking how you know wifi works in WM if you have replaced WM with android as the guide leads you to do.
There is no danger it trying an older radio regardless of what the guide suggests. I would respectfully suggest that you give 1.65.xx a shot, despite what the guide says. If the older one works, then you have solved your problem. If it doesn't work, you can flash 1.70.xx back on and try something else.
I am running Incubus's Super Eclair on my device and wifi works flawlessly. I am also able to do BT connections and hear audio. None of these worked when I tried 1.70.xx, so I use 1.65.21.18 instead.
em not wifi iwth wifi every thing ok but mobile newtwork dosent work
Roger that. My recommendation still stands, however.
Trying the alternate radio will take you less than 5 min total including d/l time. You can find it linked in post #3 of this thread: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393182.
You could also try 1.71.09.01, which I see was posted several days ago.
thx m8 its working! just signal strength is bad but still....it works! one more time thank you m8!
m8?
What was your solution?
i have a similar problem. Cannot connect to the internet with 2g/3g, but wifi works. The latest rom did not solve my problem. Maybe i'll try older ones...
hi @all,
any news here?
I got the same problem.
At the moment I have running the version milanche has upped, because I thought it is running for him, so maybe it does also for me. but it doesn't.
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6570064&postcount=7
(sorry, as a new user I can't make a link out of this)
Everything seems to be fine except mobile internet.
Edit:
Maybe I should inform you that I already have edited my APN-Settings. And I really think they should be ok. On WM6.1 these settings are working.
And I like to mention that I'm booting from SD.
Kernel may be ?...
Same problem with my phone. I have installed Froyo as explained in another post on my Kaiser TyTNII and everything works perfect except the phone network. I tried already around 5 diferent radios, with NO results.
Do anybody think this issue may come from the kernel instead ?
Using the "kaisimg-panel2-240x320-2.6.32-tilt-froyo-06-09-10_22.nbh" on my phone.
Thank you.
I have a problem with an i-mate K-JAM ... Some time ago I got this ppc but I went I installed a program and got stuck. Windows and the currency we now find no signal at all looking and looking and still not know what does. please help me

I,m started MODEM application,tapped Connect-and looks like APN now working!
Let's see how long it works for you. I have the same setup as orcatrainer but mine works off and on some times. I must add, I have Simple Mobile. They are on the T-mobile network therefore, I cannot access 3G on my tilt. Playing with the 2G setting usually cause my phone to connect to APN until I turn the phone off. Then I have to struggle to get it to work again. I just put my sims back into my Blackjack 2 to access mobile data until this issue is fixed.
