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.
Wiggy

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.

A Question to all GURUs regarding Radio ROMS

Dear All senior members of this forum,
i'm confused in understanding the areas taken care by updating the RADIO ROM of UNIVERSAL. can anyone just list down the benifits for updating a radio rom.
i want to make sure if one has to stay updated with the latest radio rom available of would the stock radio rom (Mine 1.09.00) stays fine forever.
looking forward,
farhaan rehmani

hi farehmani, I'm not a guru nor a senior member. But from what I understand.. updates radio ROMS are musch like the same as updated sortware. It has fixes for old problems like bad reception, low quality call audio... stuff like that.
But from what I've heard, the best radio for you also depends on your carrier/location... so just try all of 'em out. See which works best for you... you can easily change radio ROM versions anyway (no need to do hard reset, a soft reset is enough).

I would say, "if its aint broken, don't fix it"
Generally, the latest radio ROM gives you better reception, better sound quality. There are some people on this forum, who had problems with their device with respect to the latency of their devices in answering the calls. Most of them got it resolved by upgrading their device to the latest radio(ATM, the latest one is 1.15)
So, the bottomline is that if you facing problem(s) with your device regarding its phone part, the, you may consider upgrading the radio

thanx but i have another question...
Thanx for answering,
i asked this question cuz since i updated my pda with Jwrightmcps's ROM 2.02.00 WWE. i am unable to send MMS (there is no problem in settings) as it keeps the mms in the outbox with a pending sign of clock on it after uploading 95 or say 99%. secondly i was unable to sign in the MSN Live with this.
i used Radio 1.13.00. Could this be the problem. cuz i used 1.14.00 and 1.09.00 with previous versions of Win CE ROMS. they worked like a dream.
pls. advise.
farehmani.

the mms problem is not in the radio rom or Jw's rom. you just need to download the cab file with your operator settings and then you will be set.

I concur, it's not really the radio. It's either the WM6 ROM itself or you haven't got the correct settings.

i have read the wiki but still dont get it i can unrar jw newest rom just to get the radio only.but i have radio 15 from other source.how can i put it to my device?thanks

red button as well as "end" do not work after ROM update

Hi community - I updated to VP3G and now either the red button nor the end button finishes the call - this is bad - any idea what I can do ?

Tough to answer with any certainty without knowing more details. Could be your radio - I had that same problem with some radios. Since going with this ROM I have not had the problem. Also what apps do you have loaded?
Mark.

peter, it is something you have done as no one else has had this issue.
What radio? What software have you installed? Using a different Dialer? Hard reset?
We need more information besides "it doesn't work".

And as long as we're giving advice, this forum prefers possible concerns or issues be posted in the already available thread.
For example; if you're having problems with Black Majik, no need to start another thread, just post in the already available thread.
Thanks

Yes first I thought it is the radio so I switched to Radio 1.43 but the problem is still there. Now I found out it is more the case when I`m connected via GPRS that the button as well as the "end" software button dòn`t work ...
Applications which I use - no extra phon software, but magic button or the as follows: sk software, skype, sprite backup, webis etc.

It's your hardware controller card, gone bad. After some time all of your front button will stop responding. I had the same problem, sent to Dopod service center and got it fixed.
Its not any of ROM issues what so ever. Its a common defect of some earlier batch, as told by the techies at the Service Center.

Heh, I made the same assertion once and was told on no uncertain terms that I was wrong.

It seems that it is not the hardware because it is wonderful working when I`m not online with GPRS or 3G !
So what elese can I do ? Should I try another ROM or can I just install an updated file for the GPRS issue ?
PLs help

please remember this is a Dev forum and I believe you answered your own question try flashing another ROM and see if that fixes it. I have no idea about updated GPRS software - you mean a radio ROM? just flash another OS and see if that works its not a problem with 3Gvp's rom but maybe you had a bad flash

Hmmm... that's an interesting twist on the problem I've never heard before. I would suggest a) hard reset b) reflash my ROM c) flash another ROM. I'd probably also go with a Cingular version of the radio for now ... 1.40 or 1.48.

VP - shouldn`t I start with a new radio rom version before I reinstall your ROM ??? At the moment I`m using the 1.43 version

Up to you, but I thought you said you'd already changed radios. I'd probably go for the hard reset and see if it works before installing anything else.

Hi VP, your advice worked - I changed to ROM 1.48 and now when I dial the online connection is stopped and reactivated after the phon call.
THANK you so much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best regards
from Germany

Active Sync Error
VP - it´s again me - pls can you look at my problem: My Tytn is telling me -in the meantime several times a day -that I have to resynchronize and after I got the warning to resynchronize there comes the next warning that there is no IP number !

US Cellular Roms?

Does anyone know of any custom roms for US Cellular?

I have not seen any on here, at ppcgeeks.com, or ppchaven.com.
One of the other two site may be able to help you as they are more geared towards CDMA devices.

You are in luck!
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=53675

you should be able to flash a custom rom that is not particular to US cellular.
For instance, I'm on sprint, I have a bell radio and a custom bell rom, running no problem.

noob - so noob that I just popped out 3 weeks ago. How exactly (as in step by step) do I flash a rom. I have been looking and searching and googling but to no avail of instructions.
I have seen I need to unlock my phone (codes like ##3242# do not work on my USCC HTC Touch (which shows as a vogu100 on the system screen) and QPST does not even see my phone - but I do not know how to use that either.
I saw that I should use Coke 2.3 (or something like that) from ImCokeman on PPCGeeks (probably here too.
Again where do I get step-by step (in a how-to for complete imbiciles). Could anyone help me here?
All I realy want to do is turn on my GPS and possibly the wifi as my users manual says it has it and there should be a button for it in comm manager but it is also missing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What ROM & Radio do you currently have? I asume that since you posted on this thread that you are on US Cell?
UNLOCKING
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370
You will have to use WINRAR to extract the files to a folder. Connect your phone to your computer with activesync (xp) or WMDC (Vista) to establish a connection. You just need to run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe & follow the instruction.
FLASHING
Once you have unlocked you phone download what ever ROM you want & extract the files to a folder using winrar. Establish a connecrtion & run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe. Then follow the instructions.
You can also flash from the bootloader screan power+camera+reset. If flashing a stock ROM then copy the VOGUIMG.nbh onto your micro sd card. Tehn enter the bootloader screen power+camera+reset. You ROM should start flashing automatically. If you want to us a custom ROM you will follow the same process but you will have to remname the nbh file. It will be named RUU_Signed.nbh & you will need to rename it to VOGUIMG.nbh after copying it to you micro sd card.
Look at this page.

I have come across the unlocking thread 13 different times but it is not specific to USCC it even says it. This is for a CDMA device, the HTC vogue aka SPRINT touch (not elf) - if it bricks my phone I am s.o.l. as they rund $500+ retail and I aint got it lying around.
Oh well - maybe I am just paranoid but I need my phone and can't take a chance that my phone becomes a paperweight just for one added feature especially when it does have an option for external GPS and those I can get for 30-50 dollars.
I wish I had more confidence in myself but well...
Thank You.
Update: Unlocked and flashed the ROM in this tread for USCC and still my GPS don't work -- this is the one thing I wanted. No help

Dette makes a really nice fully loaded ROM, fast and smooth, not really my taste mainly because I like to keep all my apps up to date and when they're cooked in you cant. I like a nice clean ROM that I can customize myself, But Dettes is awsome if you just wanna "flash and go", plus your pretty limited on your choices because of your carrier

This is for Diamond I have Vogue I did the one that was posted at the beginning of this post and although not bricked major changes made that I do not like.
I now have to see if I can find the original USCC stock ROM only thing I need is the GPS - the rom changed my contact, can not change default area code, plays music when not told to, etc.
that's what I get for trying.

No this is for the Vogue, its just the Diamond edition. I flashed it this morming to my Alltel touch. I assume its called that cause its got the M2D which makes it look like the Diamonds TF3D. Trust me

Hi all,
I've been trying to convince NFSFAN to make a US cellular version of his awesome ROM. He said he would do it if there were at least three users interested. So far I just have myself and johnficca interested. Please go to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432487 to view the ROM and ask NFSFAN to make a US Cellular version.
P.S. Please be polite, respectful and grateful in your posts. NFSFAN is busy and does a lot for this and other communities.

I don't understand - I have a US Cellular HTC Touch Pro2 and the GPS and WiFi are both working fine right out of the box. My guess is that you either have them turned off (although I don't remember seeing an option to turn the GPS off), or you have faulty hardware.

You are answering in the wrong forum. You have a TP2 and this section is for the HTC Touch (aka Vogue).

HTC Titan (AT&T unlocked) Updates?

I recently bought two HTC Titans from the States. They were supposed to be unbranded thru Amazon, but AT&T ones arrived and then were unlocked and working. They both have ROM version 7720 loaded. Connecting through Zune, I get the message that software and phones are up to date. This is obviously incorrect as the following updates are missing: 8107, 8112, 8773. Doing some rearch, I understand that AT&T is not going to roll out any more updates for their phones, even though they are unlocked. I tried forcing the update (by diconnecting while updating) but to no avail. Can anybody please assist with some advice.
Is it true that if the updates are not up to date, then 7.8 won't load and update?
HTC managed to get me a UK ROM, but the file is in .nbf file format and they are scared it wont work on my phones. Should we try and update or is there another solution?
Your help will be greatly appreciated. I want to keep the phones as current as possible and able to accept WP7.8.
Region:South Africa

It's not known so far whether 7.8 will be only available if you've received all previous updates.
I don't think that the UK ROM would have issues, but it might result in problematic signal quality with the non-AT&T radio driver. You might want to HSPL the device and flash a custom ROM with that radio.
Also, be aware that you can force system updates on the phone using th cab sender method.

cab sender method sounds like the answer but seems so complicated if you are not so technicaly minded!

Don't worry, it sounds more complicated than it is. Just read through this thread very thoroughly.
It's really just about making a backup, download a few files (the updates), putting these in a folder, run this tool and press 2 keys. The guide there explains it very in-depth.
Be sure to not to skip the text, as you for instance will have issues if you don't update your languages, too.

Thanks for the encouragement. A few questions if I may please: Article talks about language packs - do these refer to Display language (English) or all keyboard languages?
Tried using Version and Language by Heathcliff74.xap, but phone gives message that it does not recognise file format.
Lastly, should I load all updates in sequence, or can I go straight to Tango (are the others necessay? I presume yes)
Thanks once again Cheers Calli
