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.

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.

upgrading WM5 on asus a632n (636, 632, 636n)

hi all!
i have my pda asus 632n in Chiniess language, need to change it to english at least. the pda's rom is V03.0616.00 CHS 0804. Red big ammount of forums, but those advices which were found don't fit new rom v.30616. On support.asus.com there are some roms for asus 632, but more older version (v.30607) Tried to hack upgrade tool.exe as some people offered, but nothing solved.
For info: the last rom for such as asus 63x goes with two files Update.cap 38,1 mb and Upgrade Tool.exe 19,5 kb. The last one is a romloader - checks language, version of current pda's rom before upgrade. The solution of upgrade is: format SD to FAT, put files above into root of prepared SD, plug SD into pda, execute upgrade tool.exe
When i do such way without hacking upgrade tool.exe, i'm told as language not match! if i hack upgrade tool.exe, then there is "your version is more older then pda's one" on the screen.
There was the thread in http://www.wormholecreations.com.au/wc/megabbs/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=3969&start=81&posts=99, followed right direction of this topic, but it's holded for now
According to my expirience and words of others there is two ways to solve the problem:
1. Wait until new rom upgrade from asus support for v.30616 (may takes much time)
2. hack upgrade tool.exe to remove notice about version
Anyway, does anybody have expirience in hacking plz help to resolve the problem. I guess there are many people who you would help to!

any news, guys?

For all, who might be interested.
weltom's problem now solved, but it was a little tricky
It should be no problem to flash to english from russian or to polish from german, etc, just follow link above.
Erorrs may occure with chineese firmware and may be some other asian ROMs due to different file structure for such ROM-images.

Can you make it work with the latest update? The one that upgrades to WM6.
Thank you!

I'm receiving a lot of "can you patch that new upgrade tool"-letters.
Sorry, but, now, when i have already sold my A636... No, i can't.
Without device, i can't test my assumptions about "may be that way it will work", so i stopped trying to do anything with new "upgrade tool" utils.
Also, Asus have changed some things in their "upgrade tool", so old methods became useless.
The only thing, that i may advice to all, who really wants to patch that new upgrade tool, is to get latest version of IDA (Interactive Disassembler) and try to do it by yourself (or, may be, some of your frinends, who more skilled in such things).
P.S. As another option for some devices: first flash it from WM5 to WM5 with desired language, then flash to WM6. The only problem here is to find that old WM5 firmware.

Thanks for your reply to this forum Oneiros.
I've just downloaded IDA Pro v.5 and will try to dissassemble the latest Upgrade Tool by myself. I used to do lots of disassembling on PC platform, but never on XScale ARM platform. I just pray it is not that different from the one I know.
I will post my findings here...
Also guys, if you have links to old WM5 firmwares for A632, 636 and especially 639 (the model I have) if you could post them here, that would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Sasovics

Folks,
I managed to download IDA Pro v5 and I was able to disassemble the old Upgrade Tool (for WM5) and I got the the same offsets as "oneiros eidos" mentioned on his web page, and manage to change the instructions to bypass the mentioned checks, but unfortunately I am not able to disassemble the new Upgrade Tool.exe. Either Asus has protected their file in some way or my disassembler doesn't do the job for this file.
If anybody has a suggestion, let me know.
Best Regards,
Sasovics

Little something about language check in new "upgrade tools".
If you look at disassembled executable, you'll see two interesting registry paths:
HKLM\nls\SystemLCID
HKLM\nls\DefaultLCID
I assume, that if you change both of them them to 1033 (english) with any hex editor, (may be Resco Explorer registry plug-in), and then try to flash, it may work.
Don't forget to write down the old value and restore it, if i'm not right.

Hi all
I tried to modify the registry values with Resco Explorer plugin, changed them to 1033 and restarted the PDA. It doesn't work. This is the message I see : "Open Upgrade image file Error".
Tested on A636N.
Greets.

Hi again
In fact, it partially works. You don't have to reset your PDA or the values you've just modified will be restored. Files have to be placed at the root of the SD card.
Then, when I launch the updater, I see a progress bar and my pda is reseted and restored to factory defaults

So it just reset your device but didn't upgrade to WM6?

Yes it does. I launch the updater, then I briefly see a page with a progression bar and it resets to factory defaults.

Dopod C720w Windows Mobile 6 ROM is HERE (???)

http://cnc.91files.com/?2y2jzrf7py6280cwnueh
Haven't tried it but seems to be a working WM6 ROM. I believe it was based on the official T-Mobile ROM with customizations.
Downloading it right now and will flash later. Care to flash anyone?

Server seems to be soooo slow, running at 20kbps..

ive downloaded it...i get error 202...connection....im using vista...dont know wat to do from here...

File dates look too old to be a new version... the NBH file is from the 2 of April - that supports the TMobile ROM theory Looks like we'll have to keep on waiting. Although maybe we will be rewarded within the next two weeks

ok i got passes error 202 now i get invalid update tool

If its just an update of the T-Mobile, then will it be any good?
Please let us know if you manage to flash it?
uccellino: What do you mean, we'll be rewarded in 2 weeks?

I'm hoping that the official HTC release of WM6 for the s620 comes out within two weeks. I've heard rumours of it coming August 17 and sometime in September - I'm not sure what to think. In anycase, didn't HTC take over the Dopod brand, making it a bit silly for Dopod devices to get an update before HTC ones?

Well, that might be silly, but here's what is sillier.
Officially, HTC has announced an update for the HTC S620. But officially, neither HTC nor Dopod have announced an update for the c720w. In fact, they have said that they won't do it.
So that's why there is excitement over this release, not because its come out earlier.

anyone install this yet?

I downloaded it and I couldn't get it to work and I know my phone is on unlocked for sure, because, first of all I paid the $40 to do it and secondly I successfully installed another ROMs. Besides It's only that T-Mobile ROM and from all I read about it, you are better off not installing it. I finally went with the Russia WM6 ROM on my C720W and it's working great!! I had to make some adjustments, but that's part of the fun! As I said in another thread, I can't see the official HTC WM6 ROM being any better then this Russia ROM. Cheers

So I downloaded this and then unzipped the RAR file, I then tried to run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe, Vista popped up Are you sure you want to run it, I selected Run, and it did absolutely Nothing.
I tried rebooting my computer and running it again and it is the same thing everytime. It doesn't do Anything.
What can I do to make it run?

are you sure it's not working ??? just so you know ... when the phone is app unlocked, you would still get a prompt everytime regarding "unknown publisher" & you need to confirm by clicking "OK"...etc ( that's normal !! )

... it could also be that you are in need of runtime files and/or .NET framework on your desktop machine ..
I'd also noticed that you mentioned you have a S621 on the other post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1431021&postcount=17
what are you doing trying to flash the c720w ROM to a s621 ???
I know that they are the same machine by marketing ... but there are bits that are diffrent internally ... or else why do you think all of us S621 owners not doing this ???.. instead of waiting for HTC to release the WM6 ROM now ... some of us went ahead and installed the "RUSSIAN" leaked version instead
I'll give you an example:
the comming soon HTC TyTN II P4550 (HTC Kaiser 120) -->> US
VS
the comming soon T-Mobile MDA Vario III (HTC Kaiser 120) -->> Germany
they are the same machine like the comparision I gave above ... BUT ... look closely at the specs ... there are some differences ... not really exact now ... is it ??

Hi guys,
I am a newbie here so please go easy on me. I have a HP Ipaq 4700 with WM2003 and would like to upgrade to the WM6.1 as advised in this forum. I have few queries and would be very grateful if any one could help me. here it goes....
1. Which WM6.1 version is the most stable version out there? I came across this website from a fellow forummer and which version should I use?
http://www.winmobile.us/hpmain.htm
2. What are the correct procedures to do it properly. If i follow the instructions from the above website then will it suffice?
3. I would like to use my pda as a mobile internet device when i am out and about. is it possible? and what should I use to achieve this? I would like to get GPRS/HSPA internet access via a mobile phone sim and can an adapter be used or bought?
4. Will upgrading to WM6.1 increase the SD or CF2 card slot capacity? If so what is the maximum SD card it can take? Will it take High capacity SD cards? If not then what is the maximum capaity I could go for?
I really appreciate your help. Thanks
