Hi All,
I'm a newbie, I have just bought a MDA III and wanted to upgrade to latest T-mobile software. I downloaded the file from T-mobile, ran the file and now the MDA screen just sticks on 'USB' at the top and 'v 2.05' at the bottom. Is there any way I can release it? I was using a vista machine but I already had the upgraded .inf file.
Just checked wiki & used XP to upgrade - Eureka!

Update
Hello I updated my MDA pro with the Jasjar update.
I unpacked the romupdate with winrar and replace the ROMUpgradeUt with the MaUpgradeUt_noID that you can download in this section of the universal pages.
The first time you start the update it wil tell you the your countrycode isn't right. but it wil shift in to bootloader mode and when you start the update the second time it wil update your ppc without problems. Do not reboot after the first update but just try it again in bootloader mode.
Good luck it works like e clock and You get MSN, SKYPE and even a version of etrust antivirus that you can install.
what do you mean by
" Do not reboot after the first update but just try it again in bootloader mode.
"
and how are you reseting the device ?
i did it 10 times.
i'm stuck into bootloader.
the upgrade with the patched file works 100% but then ...
when i'll pull of the usb cable and try the reset (power + reset) or it is not working
any ideeas
thanks

What about softkey + softkey + reset like the updater suggests?

Hello!
Is the correct file there uploaded. I was trying it but is seems to be for the
Magician. No luck for the MDA Pro.
nope. not working.
Update
For me it worked like a charm
Even with the radio update
So I can't see why it won't work with you
Upgrade
I'll try and explain again my way of installing:
I downloaded the update from Imate I unpacked the update and then I unpacked the executable with winrar. In the directory where the exe is unpacked I put the patchfile the I have uploaded for you (unpacked offcourse).
The I used that patchfile to start the update the first time it shuts down active sync 4.0 and reconnects in bootloader mode. You get a countrycode error.
the MDA is still in bootloader mode.
Now i restart the update and the install begins after the update you can reset your MDA pro. and it wil come with a IMATE splashscreen whereafter you can select your networksettings from your phonecompany.
then it wil install the new cabfiles from the rom.
That's how it went with my installation.

Isnt you mda pro a wwe rom already?

This worked for me as well. This first time I tried to run it I got a incorrect ROM version error message. Than I found out that I renamed MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe into MaUpgradeUt.exe instead of ROMUpgradeUt.exe. After renaming the file correctly gpsenzo68's explanation works just fine!
The first things I notice with the new imate ROM:
MSN (messenger works without having to buy the app (can sign in )!), Skype, Backgammon, more program memory, got rid off T-Mobile dialer skin, media player fullscreen stretch bug has not been fixed in this release.
MDA PRO ROM
MY ROM WAS THE ORIGINAL ROM FROM T-Mobile and now its a wwe rom
original german or english rom?
MDA Pro
NL Rom as you can see ;-)) So English
will your updated in this topic works
but it wont start after its done
its just says bootloader.
i really need the new updater to be hacked
it gets a string from the device.
someone able to hack this?
After I run EnterBL.exe I saw screen on my UNI such as USB or SERIAL on top of screen and v1.00 on bottom of screen.
Propably I should run something on a PC but I run Radio upgrade only 10600 for some reason :roll: and now all I can see is QTEK splash screen with information like radio version etc... and that is all
What I can do now?
I tried to run the new T-mobile ROM (because it originally is mda-pro from t-mobile uk) but there is connection problem...
Help
Hi All!!
Would really appreciate some advice on how i go about unlocking my T-mobile MDA Compact II. Just had it back from repair, having purchased unlocked (also supplied unlocking files). Not sure if maybe software more up to date but software doesn't work now, neither does the link you have all kindly posted above! When running 'lokiwiz' batch file, lists error - transfer error.
My info is:
Rom Version 2.6.2.27WWE
Rom Date 3/9/06
Radio version 02.19.21
Protocol version 4.1.13.19
Extrom version 2.6.2.110
Please, please can anyone help me as without a phone!!! Thanks so much for your help.
Regards.
Rosco.
Have you tried the whole process according to the instruction? I dont know that which Lokiwiz you are trying but my sister have bought the pink MDA compact II from t-mobile in october and I have successfully unlocked my device.
Try this one but please go point to point.
Sidd
Cheers Sidd!!!

Unlock T-Mobile MDA Compact II
I am looking at the notepad file Lokiwiz03 and it says
"2 - Copy EnableRapi.cab to your Wizard"
Which wizard and where do I find it? (Sorry if I sound thick but have never done this before)
Thanks!
I am out of my computer, hopefully I will reply on this problem tomorrow.
bill Copy EnableRapi.cab to your mda compact 2
then klick on it then start the bat file on your pc
after getting a dos windows on your pc
look for a code between the lines
copy the code and use it to unlock it
that is what i did to unlock my t-mobile mda compact 2
Hello Sidd,
I did download the ZIP folder, But I can't unziped...
and and getting following massage "File skipped unknown Compression method"
Please help me out....
Thanks
I did have Zipped this file on WinZip 10, download the attached file, now I have zipped it on a normal compression
GoodLuck
Sidd
not working
i tried this so many times. every time i tapped on the enablerapi.cab file, my mda compact just removes it. what am i doing wrong?
Obviously it is gonna dissappear after the installation. Please follow the steps 1 by 1.
Suggestion 01
1 - Connect your device with ur PC and make sure activeSync recognise it.
2 - Unzip lokiwiz.zip to somewhere in your computer
3 - Copy EnableRapi.cab to your Wizard
4 - Execute the EnableRapi.cab in your phone. Wait for it to finish
5 - Execute lokiwiz.bat and follow the instructions on your screen...
Suggestion 02
For those of you having problems with lockiwiz 3a not unlocking your phone, well i was having the same problem, but not for long because i discoverd what i was doing wrong.
when you download lokiwiz 3a you have 2 things, lockiwiz and a folder called utils, now in the folder utils you will find a file called enablerapi its about 70kb in size, copy this to your MDA vario in the my documents folder, once there run it by tapping on it in my documents on your MDA saying Ok to everything, once youve done that, then and only then try running the lockiwiz application on your main pc making sure your connected via ActiveSync and look for the SIM unlock code in the black command promt box and jot this number down, then put SIM card in thats different from the one you use and switch on, when asked for the unlock code just type in the number you have written down earlier.
GoodLuck
Sidd
hi sidd,
it did not work on my mda compact. i tried both suggestions 1 and 2. but i didn't get any unlock code when i ran lokiwiz. i will give it another try one of these days. maybe i need to remove my tmobile simcard first? anyway.... thanks a lot. and happy new year.
Well I have downloaded the whole solution from this same forum and applied on my sister's Mda and it did work.
Happy New Year to you all as well
Sidd

Copy and paste the output from the unlocking program here. Anyway, if it doesn't give you a code, probably your phone is already unlocked.
Thanks Sid

QTek s110 is a Magician and NOT a Charmer. Try the Magician section and wiki. You are lucky that you are not flashing your phone or else you may have got yourself an expensive brick.
This works a treat
Thanks loads for this walkthrough m8 its flawless. Great work m8.
It works with IPL 3.x!
After many tries and misses... I tryed everything but can't unlock my charmer with IPL 3.x... BUT THIS METHOD WORKS PERFECTLY !!!!!! In 5 minutes charmer was unlocked! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi everyone,
i tried to upgrade my MDA III Compact to WM6 (old = WM5) today. I downloaded the original T-mobile file RUU_Artemis_TMO_DE_3.15.111.2_4.1.13.50_03.06.90_Ship.
ActiveSync 4.5 is active, MDA connected, i begin the upgrade and the MDA just turn off, reboots with a white screen and the application stops with the notice - device not connected, error 260 -
I also tried Artemis USPL which worked half the way, the romupdateutil stopped the same way right after the dos-box was done...
While im trying to find out the problem, anyone can help?
thanks
Hi there,
found the problem :
Remove microSD / SDHC Cards if already insert and use ActiveSync 4.2 for the update cause 4.5 doesnt seem to work until WM6 is installed.
Hey guys, really been enjoying the forum. Spent all of time reading so far. Now it's time to act.
Going to upgrade my Samsung i780 with this rom SGH-i780 WM 6.5.3 WWE PRE-RELEASE from heineken78.
Hit the first possible snag which I am sure someone here can help me with.
Trying to upgrade first to PDXIB1, but the installer says I have the incorrect software version.
PDA : i780JCHC2
Phone : i780JCHC2
How would I get my version to a version that can be updated. had a seach in the forums for my version number, came up empty. Mustn't be too many people South Africa on here then
{EDIT}
Well got I sorted, I bypassed the step to update to PDXIB1 and just flashed it with WM6.5 works perfectly.
Thanks in advance.
Be interested to know exactly how you did that. I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to upgrade to PDXIB1 as well.
Now tried going straight to this pre-release but keep getting "Emergency Mode - You must push detect button...before you connect the USB port". I have hit detect but as soon as the phone switches on Mirage simply says "PDA device not found".
I haven't got an XP machine and cannot download XP mode. I can run Vista or Win 7. I haven't found usb drivers for Win 7. I assume this is the problem.
I really want to get rid of the Orange branding (as the phone is now out of contract) so any help would be greatly appreciated. TVM.
Have now tried Win7 in XP compatability mode and Mirage starts but then hangs on reading the bin file. I don't know what to do next.
I've now considered Virtual PC running XP and activesync, but I believe this does not support USB. Anyone any ideas please?
