need to downgrade to windows mob 5..info needed - P3300, MDA Compact III General

Hi all
I have several htc 3300 that I bought in for a customer, we have tracking software that is needed for work.
the software needs to run on windows mobile 5, the new htc all come with mobile 6, can someone tell me if it is poss to downgrade these?
if so what rom do I need?
and have you and url that I may get it from?
also help to do this would be good
I have upgraded my own with a rom from this site real good job
Keep up the Good work
Steve

Are these original HTC devices, as in open all networks, CID unlocked or are they from a network provider, for example O2UK, T-Mobile etc.?

sim free
Yes these are bought as sim free handset open on all networks
Thank you in advance

What network will they be used on though?

used on vodafone
will be used on vodafone did not think that would matter if they were sim free

before you downgrade did you try if ur software does not really work on wm6
most softwares available now were made for wm5 but work like charm on wm6
dude just give it a try you gonna flash em anyway if the trick worked u saved ur self 5 roms uu

he is right..
u software will definitely work on wm6 as it supports wm5!! dont worry no need to downgrade them...

UK MDA Pro and iMate WWE update

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:

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.

Windows Mobile 2003

Hi,
As you all probably know, the 'Blue Angel' mobile phone in the uk is originally shipped with windows mobile 2003, however i have since upgraded and modified the operating system on my phone but now want a good old original 2003 shipped full rom but am unable to find anything.
I'm sorry if there is a 'Full ROM' on the ftp or there is already a thread covering this problem, i have been unable to find anything, all i can find is updates for 2003 or extended ROMs.
I am currently running a 'Blue Angel' branded as an 'SPV M2000'.
Thank you in advance for any help
i've just downloaded a 2003 rom from www.seeo2.com and its working fine.
When I input the IMEI number from my device the site rejects it. I'm on a BA, so I'm sure the release numbers are different than they accept. Can anyone host that file or allow me to host it? Or let me use their logon or IMEI number? Thanks. -Ian

Thanks
Thanks for the help, for some reason i figured you would need to send your phone back to the manufacturer to get the software reinstalled. I didn't think that you would be able to just download it of the internet! It was alien to me, downloading windows free of charge and legally wow!
Anyway i am not with o2 so my phone number was rejected, (sorry cant help you with hosing but i am sure some nice soul will) but headed over to orange (my service provided), got the software and all is working fine
with a bit of searching you can still get the original Orange SPV M2000 rom before it was put to discontinued line by orange business as that's where you used to download them. if you fail to find it PM me and i'll find a place to upload a copy as i still have it from their last version released, but personally i loaded the t-mobile rom on mine

AT&T/Cingular 8525 Mobile 6

Hi, I am not that familiar with windows mobile pocket pcs, i am about to buy a cingular 8525 / at&t 8525, one of the two and i don't know if it will be locked or unlocked ( i will go by the best deal )... if its locked, can I upgrade it to Windows Mobile 6 and in the process of upgrading it and having a new rom, will it automatically get unlocked?
I am not sure but i believe that there is a rom, a radio and a bootloader, my question is that out of these three, which needs to be modified in order to unlock the phone? if its the rom... then i'm pretty sure upgrading it to mobile 6 will automatically unlock it...
if you can upgrade it mobile 6, then how? which rom do i need? do i need to change my bootloader to some universal edition, if so, is there any danger in doing that? how will the software distinguish between the hermes and the 8525? ( hermes has a 3g vga camera, 8525 does not )...
can someone please clarify?

Softbank Japan ROM

Hi everyone,
I picked up the Softbank X02HT but it came with the Chinese ROM.
Since I'm using it in Japan, I'd like to switch over to the Japanese ROM.
I wasnt able to find the Softbank Japanese ROM anywhere online... perhaps someone had a suggestion?
Thanks for your help!
also very much interested in that
i am in a similar situation and already posted several requests about switching my Dopod ROM to a Softbank one or at least get all the important functions of the Softbank ROM working on my Dopod 730...but so far no reply.
if you receive any enlightenment please share it with me.
cheers
beefandcorn,
Im in the same boat as I picked it up in HK to use here in Tokyo
kinda ironic how it was setup to use here and now it only partially functions.
I cant seem to find a ROM anywhere for it as well
some of the settings from the X01HT will work.
Im tempted to go to softbank and get them to reflash it back but i have a feeling ill get busted for having an unlocked one.
The keyboard layout is f'd up not all the keys match, I can send SMS but cannot receive, and I cannot access internet via 3G...
What is your experience like so far in Japan for the dopod rom?
Using foreign ROM on Softbank network
Actually, I’m also using the HK ROM on the Softbank branded X02HT in Japan.
SMS and 3G Packet service works okay but it seems the MMS is impossible to get working.
Just to confirm, here are my settings for internet access.
In “Connections”, I have a connection that “Connects To” “The Internet”.
The access point is “softbank”, the username is “[email protected]” and password is “softbank”.
In “Proxy”, I didn’t have anything setup.
This is the paid packet service, where you pay per use.
I think you also need Softbank to have your plan include “packet service”.
It looks like you can also setup the flat rate internet service but I haven’t tried that.
Sorry, I’m not sure about SMS issues.
Is it possible to dump the ROM from a retail Softbank X02HT?
Then, we could flash the official ROM onto the phones and all the problems go away.
Hope it helps…
i agree
yes if somebody could provide a ROM dump of the softbank rom that would help... well also need to figure out HOW to flash it then...
The company I bought my phone from (mail order from the US) offered me to reflash the phone to the Softbank ROM but it is not cheap and I also would need to send it back to the US for that (and pay for the DHL/UPS costs)
So I would prefer doing it myself (if its not such a hassle)
Yea. I got my X02HT in HK, and although everything works fine here on AT&T, I'm having an issue with remembering where some of the symbols are.. since some of them don't match up... any luck finding the Original ROM?
It seems that the original Japanese ROM also has English. and I would assume that this ROM maps the Keys correctly... as opposed to the Dopod ROM installed now...
Please HLP w/ Tmobile WIZA200 in JAPAN...cant get signal
I'm starting to think there is no solution I have unlocked and uploaded and reloaded and re-unlocked, etc but still the same problem...My phone can not access the cellular network. I did a manual search and my phone does not acknowledge the JP Softbank network. I have put different kinds of ROM's and OS upgrades, etc, but still no success. I'm starting to think that these great unlocked PDA's only work in Europe and North America and not in JAPAN.
I have seen several other threads with others having the same problem so I am going to try to ask this question in several different threads.
I have no errors and everything works fine in the process, just like everybody says it does, but still nothing for acquiring a signal. It just either shows an exclamation point or searching dots. I have compared the various carrier options on my phone to other Softbank phones and everything is the same networks except acknowledging the Softbank network.
I'm praying there is some smart person out there who can figure this out...PLEASE...PRETTY PLEASE...
Works on DoCoMo but NOT on Softbank
I also have a Dopod ROM and funny thing is, the phone works like a charm on the DoCoMo Network (Phone and SMS) but when I pop in a Vodafone SIM it cannot even connect to the Softbank network
Very Strange...
we have a thread going on this issue and maybe you can add some input.

HTC TOUCH PRO 2 ON TELSTRA - Help Required

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me out with detailed instructions.
I am faily new to the world of PDA's and smart phones.
I just bought HTC touch Pro 2 from Telstra. Its all customised with Telstra/Bigpond.
My question is how can I remove Telstra customisation completely from the phone?
FYI,
Device Information.
Rom Version: 1019.841.3 (51489) WWE
Rom Date: 06/04/2009
Radio Version: 3.44.25.27
Windows 6.1
Your help would be highly appreciated. Also, could you please provide complete steps for the solution you provide.
Thanks for your help
Nothing much you can do. You can flash a custom ROM if you want to totally remove Telstra stuff.
Having said that there are some good stuff in Telstra ROM. Free web browsing to certain sites (BigPond, Sensis, Yellow Pages, Trading Post, etc.....) And there are free apps like WhereIs where the data download is not counted towards your usage. And there are 2 free apps Jetcet Print and Jetcet Presenter. The former for printing directly from phone and the latter for creating/editing Powerpoint slides.
But if you don't want any of these, you can always flash a custom ROM of your choice.
Yep just flash a custom rom simple
If you don't mind me asking, did you buy the phone outright or on a plan?
If outright, how much did you pay?
i'd like to get rid of the the telstra things too
phrak, i just bought mine yesterday at harvey norman, it was $1479 outright and with extended warranty (ex wty was 99)

Well you can always flash a cooked ROM if you like. I haven't yet as I'm quite happy with the Telstra ROM. I don't like the purple color theme so I installed another theme. I am quite happy with what I have got so far. Would wait for Telstra WM6.5 upgrade and see if it is any good.
You can manually remove Telstra items by editing registry

Touch Pro 2 Sprint on NextG
Hi I just got a Touch Pro 2 Sprint CDMA GSM version from the USA. I know you'd probably wonder why but because it has the inbuilt 3.5mm headphone jack. I unlocked everything on the phone and changed the radio to the 2.05.00WU (USCC test edited) version, changed the ROM to try the 6.5.3 energy rom. I know the phone supports CDMA 850. But aren't sure if it's now possible to get it to work on NextG.
Is anyone able to confirm if it's possible? I think it runs on the CDMA2000 1X 1900/800 band. And from what I've been reading it mightn't support the 2100 band, so mightn't be able to get it to work at all.
I'd like one with the headphone jack but like the keyboard also. Don't really want a Touch HD2 thought they would be alright with the 1Ghz CPU.
My problem is the Telstra Next g version is a Rhod110, not Rhod100. This means that when attempting to put Hard SPL on my brand new toy it comes up with a "fatal error"... No way am I gonna try putting a new rom on without Hard SPL... Soft SPL just freezes the whole thing and the only fix is to pull the battery...
Its also a different series from the other touch pro 2 available, 7381, not 7373...
Guess I'm stuck with the bloated stock rom until Telstra releases a wm6.5 rom or a new Hard SPL or Soft SPL are conjured up....
Downloaded the file enablerapinew.cab, able to flash Hard SPL... SWEET....
I have the same problem !
Hi there, it sounds like Im in the same boat as you are or were... I also have a RHOD110 from Telstra but I want to upgrade it to win 6.5 and I'm just not sure which ROM will be applicable a) for this model or b) for the Australia service (3g)
I wonder did you manage to get this sorted out and would you be kind enough to give me any info that may help from your own experence ?
Thanks in advance !

Download & install enablerpinew.cab. You should then be able to Hard SPL.. I also have Rhod110 from Telstra.
Next G works fine, its a hardware feature so it will always pick up Next G, but you may need to get the GPRS settings from Telstra and manually input them.
Use Manual Hard SPL if auto doesn't work, just need to install enablerpinew.cab 1st, and only once... After that any rom works finre...
Cheers...
