No camera software

I was having problems configuring a new T-mobile MDA III with blackberry. I contacted T-Mobile who directed me to install the latest rom image (MDA3_TMUK_v106160_SHIP0307.exe). After installing this, blackberry is working fine with our BES server, but I don't have any camera software on the device.
I do not know if the software was there before the rom flash, I did not look.
It does have a camera, but no way to use it. I have spoken to T-mobile again but I have not received a response, I thought I would try here to see if anyone here has any ideas. Is there a cab available that I could use to install the missing software? I have performed a hard reset but still no joy.

T-Moble (germany that is) at one time shipped two versions of the update software for there devices, one with camera one with out.
Back in the old days a xda patch came out to update a SX66 no camera rom 1.31 with a camera, You can find this on wiki, also you can try the cab for the WM5 rom (cameraFix) that might work. These you need to play with.
Best option is to get a rom from TMO that supports the camera

Cheers MDAIIIUser,
I downloaded Camera2K5_v1.rar from wiki, (ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/BA_WM5/Patches/Camera2K5_v1.rar) and this seems to work a treat.
T-mobile are still looking to the problem. They may yet send me a new Rom image with the software included.
Thanks again.

I've just posted about this problem :shock:
Good to know there are others out there with similar experiences!
I'm going to give that link a try and see where I get.

..I've downloaded this, but how do I install it on the MDAIII?
please forgive my ignorance!

If you extract the RAR file and you end up with a cab file then copy it to your device and tap on it in file manager.
I have know idea what is in the rar file.

Thinking of buying the Desire. Some advice maybe?

Hi guys. I was thinking of buying this phone after being very dissapointed in galaxy S. So if one of you can spare a few minutes to answer some of my concerns, it would be a very good deed.
1. is the space enough for installing apps (galaxy s had 2 Gb for this)? Can we maybe move the apps on the card?
2. can you direct me to the latest ROM (with Froyo) not cooked , no modded, the plain simple one? And to some installation instructions? (I would search but really dont know how the naming is for the roms and which one is newest)
3. is there any app that allows this phone to play avi and xvid?
4. if the phone is locked is there any unlocking method? If the phone is locked, can I still upgrade it to the latest rom? (even if the rom is not designed for my carrier)?
I guess this is all I need to know.
Thank you very much for your time.

froyo comes with legacy apps2sd but its not very good, if you root you can install apps2sd+ witch is much better, rockplayer will play almost all video formats ive tried, its like vlc for android lol if you look at the android development section there is a sticky with all the latest official roms. if your device is sim locked you must buy an unlock code to unlock it, you can use any rom with a locked device although if your device is branded you must make a goldcard before you flash a generic/branded (other than your own branding) offical rom.

Thanks for the quick reply. Now I only need to know what a gold card is.

there is a tutorial in the rom development section, it basically skips the cid check so you can flash branded or generic roms

Ok thanks man.

[Q] Several TP2's Same WM6.5 ROM?

Hi
First of all I'll apologise if the flavour of this post is similar in nature to a few others but I haven't quite found an exact match for what I need when searching through the other posts and I really need a definitive answer.
The background.....
My company use a third party forms application for passing data between our field service technicians and our office. This application had been specifically designed to be run on Windows Mobile devices. Up until very recently has been perfect for the task.
With the arrival of WP7 and Android in the phone market I have been finding it increasingly difficult to source devices running windows mobile. Those which I am still able to get hold of have varying versions of WM running which presents me with a variety of continuity issues. Providing support over the phone can also be quite challenging due to slight version descrepancies.
Recently one of my suppliers has been able to source me a large number of HTC Touch Pro 2 devices, however they are again running slightly different versions of the OS.
I would like to be able to use a standard WM6.5 ROM accross all the TP2's regardless of the original version or region of the device. I have been in touch with HTC without a great deal of joy. They simply refer me to there download page where invariably I am only able to download and install the ROM which corresponds to the individual device serial number.
Finally the Question.....
If I download a custom WM6.5 ROM can I run it accross all my GSM TP2's and if so then can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks for any help you can give

if these are all unbranded phones i suggest hard spl on all of them, and download a stock rom for one of them extract the .nbh file and flash them all to the same build...easiest way....

Are you really suggesting a stock ROM to this guy over your ROMs?
@Si_UK If you want the stock look without the bloat and with more speed, go with Wild Child's Illuminati ROMs. They retain the functionality of the the stock ROMs, but are tweaked for better performance and stability across the board. These ROMs are a very nice business choice. Like he said, though, you will need to Hard SPL the devices to be able to flash anything other than stock ROMs.

Thanks guys
I managed to download a standard rom from HTC using one of my UK device serial numbers and gave it a try to see if the RUU would work on one of the non UK devices. It did and works fine. I was planning on replicating this now with all the devices to ensure they're all the same.
I am now going to try and Hard SPL a device and use custom ROM as recommended. I like the idea of being able to improve the speed and lose some of the crap.
Fingers crossed as I've not done this before

Hmm, Sense 2.1 roms where... ehmm... usable... Not THAT bad after all.
However those S2 Sense 2.5 aren't capable of being used more then one day.

[Q] Newbie Guidance

I just got a brand new htc touch pro2 (rhod100) that was a test unit. I think it's an international phone, but I have no idea if it's unlocked or not -- whether this would work on Sprint or AT&T or what in the U.S.
I'd like to go install a stable version of Android (2.2 is fine) and use it in the U.S. on AT&T and for international travel.
ROM is 1.19.401.0, Radio is 3.44.25.27
Any suggestions where to start?
I've rooted and flashed both Windows and Android phones before, but am not an expert.
Appreciate any help or pointers you all could give.
RS

first step in this, as you probably know, is to hardspl. Android over SD could work anyway even with stock rom, if my memory doesnt fail but it is always recommended to do it.
after that, one of the easiest ways to install android on SD is using Project Android.CAB, it install everything according to where it is supposed to be and then you just open the APP, select model and boot it. any more guidance? there are a lot of topics on the android section on TP2 but if you feel confused just ask.

i would recommend FRX07.1 Complete FroYo Bundle to start with

Need Stock-ROM for P8000(B)

Yesterday I bricked my brand new P8000(B) - the new version with Marshmallow 'out of the box' (and the new SIM slots etc...)
I tryed to reflash several stock- and custom ROM's but they don't work because they are made for the 'old' version and there must be major differences in the hardware. At the moment the main problem is that the LCD driver is wrong and the display shows only lines and blurry spots
The Phone was running on ROM "P8000_6.0_20160516" - this ROM is not available at needrom or bbs.elephone.hk even Google doesnt know
It would help a lot if some could supply the ROM "P8000_6.0_20160516" - thank you!

I can do nothing else than blaming you, I wrote a reply yesterday to the eragon forum that there's someone else who flashed -not even a custom rom- just the root .zip that was for the "old" p8000 and got his phone bricked the same way as you (LCD driver problem). That's why I asked for a dump/backup. It could have been useful for you too (as in this case) and for the other guy too. But nevermind, I hope that you learn from this for later things... anyways, the other guy has contacted elephone on their facebook, so I hope you'll get the rom so you can use your device again. Good luck!

I have this version too, just got it today.
If someone can explain to me how to create the scatter file and the backup, I'll do it.
I have some experience with this stuff, but MTKDroidTools tells me unknown rom structure.
Any help?

I do have the same problem (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p8000/general/rom-p8000-t3431571 ). I just wanted to root the phone because I liked to change the wifi modem file but i didn't even realize that I got another version of the phone at this point, so I bricked it.
I also contacted the support via facebook, but the support guy had to ask the engineers for help.
But maybe someone can help Emileh taking a dump of his phone, that would be really great!

@ardrift
you are sooo right but I have'n expected that two phones of the same type contain conplete different hardware respectively the firmware is not supporting both hardware versions. Even the manufacturer does not metion to check the hardware version before flashing...
@Emileh @flo1k
I do have a second 'untouched' P8000(B) too - and I'm starving to copy the firmware from this working phone to the faulty phone if someone could explain how...

problem solved
flo1k managed to get a stock ROM for this hardware version - the softwarepackage is named K06TE-A.A.vR14.E1.160707 and should be available at the elephone forum soon....
