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.

I am thinking about taking the plunge on my T-Mobile Vario II. But I have a few questions before I commit to this upgrade.
1. Do any of the versions work (I mean really work) with the Vario II?
2. If so, what version is best for the Vario II? By "best" I mean, is the most stable?
3. What might I lose (functionally) by upgrading? For example, does the video call capability work with any flavour of WM6?
4. Which of my applications will work? I use a number of third party apps including Fizz Traveller, eWallet, ListPro, pRSSReader, and Skype.
5. What extra functionality does WM6 provide (over WM5)?
6. And, finally, will T-Mobile ever release an official upgrade for Vario II users? If not, will this upgrade invalidate my warrenty?
Thanks in anticipation.

I'll answer a few of them!
1. Yes, it does work on your Vario II (I've got one)
2. Currently I use the LVSW Edition, but over the next a newer/faster version of the 'Black Edition' will be out very soon... so maybe hold fire!
3. You won't loose any functionality - just make a note of your Internet Settings and MMS Settings!
4. I don't really use those applications, but I have a question regarding Skype! do you use this on the Web 'n' Walk? if so, which package? I thought they banned the use of VOIP????
5. Speed! its a dream to use!!!
6. Probably not, but who knows... and yes it will probably invalidate your warrenty...
If you would not want to invalidate your warranty, then use mtty to install the OS only.
You will need NBHExtract to extract the OS portion of the file and use mtty as stated previously (search the forum, it's here).
The wiki explains on how to install the OS via mtty (look @ http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootloaderMFG and about 3/4 down the page, under Flashing an OS
I am on web&walk as well but you can opt for Skype only to work when there is a WiFi connection available (Starbucks anyone?)

I found mtty 1.11a on the Resco forums - http://www.resco-net.com/downloads/mtty11a.zip - is that the latest (and/or correct/best) version to use when upgrading a WM5 device to WM6?
sorry, i know this is the wrong forum but I haven’t found a better one to post to.
just a short question regarding windows mobile 6 for the i600. Now, after the wm6 update was announced for the blackjack, do you think it will be possible to “export” the wm6 pda part of the blackjack to flash it to an i600 (but keeping the i600 radios incl. wifi)? for some reasons, I have the fear Samsung will not release a wm6 update for the i600 but I would love to update my i600 to wm6.
any thoughts?

well it's Samsung that's releasing WM6 to Cingular for testing. I strongly doubt they'd go through the trouble of providing a stable build to Cingular yet not use it themselves...
Samsung i600 will get a free update
Hi all,
Just found this quote "Samsung recently announced that existing i600 owners will get a free upgrade to the new Windows Mobile 6. The update will be released on May 26th for testing, after which it will be available for current users to download." at http://www.vistaultimate.com/windows-vista-news/reviews-samsung-i600-windows-mobile-smartphone/47/ check it out. Being a new Samsung i600 owner i am very happy about the announcment!!!
good news!

Don't risk it. Anything that belongs to PDA ROM from i600 will not work entirely on i607 even if you keep your origninal Radio ROM. I tested my Cingular Blackjack and had no camera ('Can not connect to external camera' message) or vibra allerts after the flash with unbranded i600 PDA ROM. I do not own an i600, but pretty much aware of the consequenced after the upgrade on i607.
Hope it was helpful to make your decision.
I agree, i have read about lots people trying to put the i607 ROM on the i600 and vica-versa, all negative...dont try it.
Problem in upgrade i600 with i607 rom
Exactly what I experienced, trying to upgrade my i600 with i607 rom and it's a disaster. I cannot turn it on, it keeps power off instantly. Anyone know where I can download the original rom for i600? So I can get it back to its original state? Please... Thanks.
you should be able to put the i600 into bootloader mode and reflash with an i600 rom and it should be back up and running again
Update i600 with i607 rom
It doesn't work cause when I have installed the modem driver, uncheck the box in "allow USB connection in Active sync", connect the phone with USB and put the phone in bootloader mode, my PC doesn't recognize the phone at all. In the i600 there is only display Xcingular 1.2 , phone mode off. Phone not connected to PC. I read in ModaCo that I should use Serial cable data not USB cable data. Is it true? Anyone knows?
According to Samsung in Sweden they will release their WM6 within a week or so
WM6 release for i600 started yesterday. See here:

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for someone who already managed to upgrade a german T-Mobile MDA compact III to WM6. Has anyone experiences with this? It's my business phone and I don't want to break it.
1. Is there any chance to reflash the old WM5 ROM if something goes wrong?
2. How can I save the old ROM!?
3. Do I need to setup any regional settings if I use the O2 ROM for example?
Thanks for all answers!

You shurely can use the O2 ROM. Regional settings? You can change the regional settings in the ROM, but you don´t neet to if you use the german version of the O2 ROM.
There is a way to make a backup of your curent ROM to a storagecard. Use the search..
You should make a backup of your pim (contacts, tasks, calendar etc.) with PPCPimBackup because you can restor them with thiis program, but not with SPB Backup..
Is your phone sim- or netlocked? Normally the german tmob devices are..
IMPORTANT: You can update - but before you flash your rom with any new os (like the O2) do the "uspl" (CID Unlock) first!
Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308242
I have updated mine. Everything works fine, but the menues are in English.
The phone must be CID unlocked then you can flash any ROM you like. You can also find a CAB for T9 input in German.
Ciao
Thanks a lot guys for all the information. I'll report later if it worked...
Success
Thanks for all your information!
Everything worked fine.
At first I tried to make an backup, but I was not really successful, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=312871&page=5
But it didn't matter because I found a german wm5 rom for t-mobile:
XDA-DEV FTP -> "Uploads/Upload/Official MDA Compact III ROM/MDA Compact III German.exe"
So here is a conclusion for all noobs, like me:
1. Run USPL, get it here and read all the stuff: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
2. Patch any ROM you like, for example one of those: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=362 or get one on the xda-dev ftp
I tried three or four of the ROMs from the forum, it was possible to flash them all, but I had to try it twice to "remove" the german O2 ROM (flash another ROM over the O2), but maybe I did something wrong in the first place.
What I would finally like is a T-Mobile branded german WM6 ROM. If anyone could give me some tipps where to start, I would appreciate it. I think it should be possible to extract the german O2 WM6 OS and somehow mix it with the T-Mobile stuff from the WM5 ROM. I know there is a lot information here on the forum, but any hint is nevertheless very appreciated

Great! Thanks!
Another question (which I cant find the answer to).. How do I go back to the stock spl? I have unsigned hard spl on here at the moment.
Also, do you know which version of the radio the Compact IV is shipped with in the UK?
I'm guessing the order to do things is..
1. Flash original radio
2. Flash original ROM
3. Remove hard spl..
Your help would really be appreciated! Thanks.
T-Mobile MDA Compact IV (Diamond/Victor) stock ROM/SPL
Hi beauchampy,
The Radio and Rom will be flashed together with the file previously linked:
RUU_Victor_TMO_UK_1.37.110.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.26a.25.09_1.00.25.03_Ship.exe
The default SPL for T-Mobile stock from September until present day is 1.37
This should be the last thing to be flashed.
I have attached a zip with all the necessary files you need (credit to cmonex http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2324829#post2324829).
Un-zip the archive, connect via activesync.
Copy "SSPL-Manual.exe" to your device (any directory)
Run SSPL-Manual.exe on the device - screen should go black...
Start "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" in the PC as usual for rom update.
Best regards,

Aside..Im done with t-mobile after this contract expires. Support is rubbish and really with the diamond they have put near to zero investment with keeping up with HTC's rom/radio releases. If they arent going to put the money to keep up with this then how about not doing your own awful pink and white version and brand the phone to high heaven. Then you wont have to re-develop something thats already available just to customise it to t-mobile. Leave the phone as it is and keep in line with HTC's releases. The other problem is the total lack of accessory support for the compact 4. Rant over. Apart from, Pink and white...whoever thought of that..
So enough about the ROM already, how about the SPL?!??!! Can I use this one or is there a Dutch SPL out there???
Anywayz... I didnt need the T-Mobile support afteral. Because I had to wait for the ROM update too long back then I began to flash ROMs. Thanks XDA for that.
My next phone wont be a T-Mobile branded device, might not even be a HTC device... That long expected Sony Ericson X2 makes me horney, and its finally coming out!!!
offtopic
Oh never mind about the X2, it uses the same chip set as his predecessor, the X2 is already the biggest disappointment of 2010...
