Hi guys!
First of all my very atmost gratitude to all people bringing the right knowledge to this forum! It has given me a lot of ways to tweak and upgrade my MDA Pro (Universal). Thanks again. I upgraded my MDA pro in 30 minutes to the latest iMATE WWE + radio 1.04.02!!
Main benefits for me: built-in SKYPE (that works), Built-in Pocket MSN and NOT built-in, but working now: MS voice command (v1.5)
Since it took me a while collecting all relevant info for upgrading and tweaking my MDA pro, i wanted to share my experiences with you and let you know how i finally managed everything. Also because some posts contain outdated info about the upgrade process. So here we go:
UPDATE MDA PRO (NL) -> iMate Jasjar WWE + radio 1.04.02
----------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all get the right files from:
ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]/Universal
Get the files:
* JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301.exe
(from /Universal/Shipped%20ROM/JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301/)
and the file:
* UNIVERSAL - JASJAR - Radio Version 1.04.02.rar
(from /Universal/)
- Unpack both files into a separate directory (use WINrar for both)
- Unplug universal (MDA pro) from USB
- In activesync, under connection settings, disable USB en COM connections
- Put MDA pro in bootloader by pressing LIGHT button + Power + RESET
(you can see USB vaguely on your screen, since you don't have backlight on)
- Connect MDA pro on USB; Windows will recognize new USB device
- Launch the file from the WWE update: MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
- Preform the upgrade (this process takes about 15 to 20 minutes)
(I didnt get any country error here as some described earlier, it went smoothly)
- After it finishes, do not disconnect the MDA pro and DO NOT reset it. Immediately preform the next upgrade:
- Run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe from the radio 1.04.02 directory
- This will take about 10-15 minutes
- After it finishes, disconnect from USB and give cold reset: POWER + reset
- You'll see the new iMATE splash screen, and then the Windows Mobile screen (first boot will take some time)
- Then the device will ask to first-setup and you're IN!
I did NOT have to install anything from the extended ROM, as others posted. The only thing i needed to do after upgrade was:
* Make new 'GPRS, 3G' connection for T-mobile, using the settings: APN: internet, user/pwd: tmobile
Then I deleted my old partnership on the ActiveSync, and activated USB and COM connections again, and synchronised my device! Et voila!!!
Then I installed my previous apps (see tip list on end of posting) and made the essential registry tweaks to my device, which can be found on:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry
Alrighty, hope this will bring the same smile to your face as it did on mine
Take care,
Guido
---------------------------------------
Some other tips I'd like to share:
* install Microsoft Portrait v2.3 for audio/video conferencing!! On GPRS is works better then skype for me! Audio is perfect, video connection (even at lowest settings) scrambles the audio a bit!
* Magic Button is top app!
* VNCviewer does a sweet job on the VGA screen (terminal services works fine too, but doesn't go fullscreen)
* of course Tomtom 5.1 + checkpoint 5.02 and/or POIedit
* Resco File explorer + Registry editor (must have!)
* Upgrading to Skype 1.2 beta did not work for me, stick to the default one!
Guido, execellent post!!!

Having a diferent build (please see below), I'm very much interested to see your tips on the above, TomTom (normal installation doesn' go...!?!) and skype (pre-installed in my JASJAR, but I haven't been able to have it working at all...!?!)
Thanks in advance.

Somebody has deleted all files in the upload section, now the most of the files are reposted again(thanx), i guess, their still are missing some shipped roms.
only rom their is for now; JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10402.rar(if it is a full rom)
So think for now that you have to browse the ftp upload part.
ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]/Universal
simlock
hi
is the simlock from t-mobile removed after you did the update?
because you also updated the radio version........
ok please help, i cant use my MDA Pro cause i have Vodafone!
Thanks in advance
ROM uploaded / reply to questions
Hi guys,
I just read that someone cleared out some files in the upload dir!
So, as we speak the uploading of the JASJAR rom update is in progress. Should be in shipped rom any moment now.
For further replying on your msgs;
- Haven't checked if the unit is simlock free now, but I think i won't be.. I'll keep you posted.
- I read somewhere that Skype needs a minimum of 18MB program memory to run correctly. Right now I managed to get 21MB free, and everything works smoothly.
- TomTom had to be installed with the 4 cabs files, since the original setup didn't work for me (crashed in installer)
And once more; I really love how MS portrait is working for audio/video conferencing. Especially since of 15-11-2005 I'm using UMTS (!) on T-Mobile NL
Looking forward to your experiences.
Take care,
Guido
thanks guido.... how are you using umts on t-mobile ???
Is it possible to put back the original mda pro rom if something goes wrong... like a registry edit.... I don't really know how everything works and I don't want to destroy my new toy !!!
Reply / Exec ROM update / UMTS / Appz / Reg tweaks
Once you upgrade you go beyond the ** Point of no-return **
But sometimes you gotta take some risks in life to advance
Actually again I took the risk yesterday of trying out the XDA Exec ROM upgrade. And I must say; this one works pretty fine for me too. And right now I gained 22,35MB free RAM memeory, so I managed to get Skype 1.2 beta running!
Furthermore I'm test using the UMTS network of T-Mobile NL. I already clocked speeds up to 320 Kbps in the downstream; pretty neat Skype and Portrait work excellent on these new speeds.
And I've tested if the upgrade unlocked the device; but.... as I've expected: no....
For now I would suggest going for the O2 Exec upgrade, also since it has the 1.04.02 radio builtin. Things I like more about this upgrade:
- More FREE program memory (allowing skype 1.2 to run for example)
- Nicer SPLASH screen
- Seems to operate a bit faster
Once you installed the Exec ROM you can choose 'Install Type' under programs; this is where you select the Corporate Mode, and then give in the code 0506. (This wasn't really described clearly for me in the other posts). Then reset. Furthermore I deleted all other O2 stuff on the device (don't forget the shortcuts under Windows\StartUp). Actually I only left sddaemon in the startup group, giving me max of working RAM.
Thus, now running:
R 1.04.02
D 1.13.48
G 42.37.P8
installed appz:
- Skype 1.2 beta
- TomTom 5.1
- MS Portrait v2.3
- MS Voice Command v1.5
- Resco File Explorer
- Resco Registry Editor
- Magic Button
- Pocket Informant 2005
- Some small utils: 'Running Programs'/'Reset'/'CloseAll'/'TrayLaunch'
- Total Commander (only for vieweing Ext Rom)
and registry tweaks: (see my first post)
- GPS
- Fonts
- Bluetooth OBEX
- data connection always on
- soft buttons changed
- MS voice command for Bluetooth headset
- Glyph cache size
- Terminal Services cache size
- Homepage hardware button change
All works deliciously
cheers,
Guido
Reply / Exec ROM update
Hi,
I just took the risk to advance, however when upgrading to the XDA Exec ROM I got the message that (after doing the hardware inspectation):
ERROR 120: Country ID Error
The ROM image that you are trying to use is not designed to work on your device.....
I have an MDA Pro.
Anyone have useful ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I read this before in other posts. It seems that when you launch the updater the 2nd time, it doesn't produce the country error anymore
Hope this will be the same in your case!
And another important thing mentioned before; I used MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe (from the Jasjar file or Radio 1.04.02 file) to preform the upgrade. Just copy this file in the Exec directory and launch it; it will display another xda, but this is normal and will work fine for the universal
Good luck!

umts and simlock
Hi Guido,
thanks again for your cool posting every time! You keep us informed.
First off all pretty that the Simlock isn't removed after the update! I want to update too but first i want to remove my simlock. After that i will do an update and use my device just like i used mine Qtek 9090 before!
1 More question is about Tom Tom 5.1 when i try to install it i get an error is there an guide out there to install Tom Tom 5.1 on WM 5 ?
Ok thanks for now and keep us informed!
Surinamer!
Thanks guido.... I'll take the risk.... but how did you get the umts on your mda because the info I got said that umts on a t-mob network will be available from 2006
upgrade MDA Pro rom
Hi Guido,
Thanks for your useful info. The MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe did the job, my T-Mobile settings are gone now.
However I didn't had the time to do the XDA upgrade yet, but will do tonight.
Anyway thanks.

Concerning UMTS; I'm test using it on T-Mobile NL. Officially it will be launched in 2006. I'll keep you informed about the progress.
Video Calling isn't yet supported on the MDA, but the data connection is! Topping at 340 Kbps, which is pretty fast for a mobile device

Qtek 9000 error and upgrade to imate latest firmware?
Hi,
Have been reading through all of your responses. Very impressive.
Today i received my Qtek 9000.
It seems to be a wonderful phone and with the subscriptions vodafone has in sweden i get free calls and free downloads. Looked great.
Now to my problem.
I´ve put in all settings that vodafone provides for other ppc´s and it´s working on them.
It connects, dissapears, connects again.
And i get:
Cannot Connect:
Dialed: services.vodafone.net
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings. If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufacturer´s documentation and try again.
I´ve downloaded these 2 files:
JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301.exe
UNIVERSAL - JASJAR - Radio Version 1.04.02.rar
Will an upgrade remove my problem?
But my question is, i bought it at expansys, why buy qtek if i could have bought an iMate instead? I mean will i now rebrand it to be an imate?
Are there no software updates from qtek?
Since this one is brand new, should i return it and get an iMate instead?
I will also need to get the regfix for swedish keyboard, would be entirely greatful if it could be arranged.
Very first message from a brand new forum member!
Best regards,
Daniel Eriksson
Guido,
Is it possible for me to get acces to the umts from t-mobile.. Furthermore I'm thinking that I will install the exec rom on my mda pro. I'll receive my device tomorrow so I'll see. Do you think its a good purchase ??
Thanks
guido.... btw ik snap echt geen f*ck van dat editen van je registry.... kan je me misschien in het nederlands uitleggen wat het inhoud/betekent ?
Hi!
I really feel like a newbie when i read all the posts about all the different rom versions, so can someone give me some advice which rom i should use to upgrade to?
I have a dutch TMobile MDA pro, which is still at the default rom:
ROM: 1.12.42 WWE (8/23/05)
Radio: 1.00.02
extRom: 1.12.125 WWE
I am experiencing problems with spontaneous hangs (which might have to do with 3rd party software, but the device itself isnt exactly stable)
but also the radio often just loses signal, which i can only fix by rebooting...
I want to upgrade, but i don't want to spend toooo much time on it. Is there a rom that offers better stability which is easy to install and configure?
Regards,
Casper
Try updating to the latest I-Mate Jasjar ROM. Very stable and fast. I too use a lot of 3rd party applications and games. This is my 3rd day of not experiencing any problem without doing a soft reset in the morning.
I prefer Orange ROM... both imate and orange are the same version though... only that Orange's ROM is released while Imate is still not released

ady, what made you say the I-Mate ROM has not been released yet? It is true there is a test version which came 2 weeks earlier than the one I am using now which is NOT the test version. Just curious.
Another question please about the NEW Orange ROM. Is it true that the vibrate is always ON and you can't turn it OFF?
I did it!
last week i gathered my courage, downloaded the JasJar rom, found the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe tool, pressed install, drank a cup of coffee, and was finished!
It went flawlessly! And my T-Mobile MDA Pro has never run smoother!
I couldnt (and wouldnt) have done it without this forum, so thanks guys!
Now its just waiting until there is a new stable rom with A2DP on it, and then i'll upgrade again!

I upgraded my mda pro to the latest t-mobile UK ROM straight out of the box. But even then I have the same problems with spontaneous hangs. And reading your success story I gathered all the files JASJAR_WWE_13076_164_10900_wwe_ship.exe and MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to upgrade to the JasJar rom myself. But as complete newbie who is affraid to mess things up, did you do anything else except unzipping the ROM update and copying the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to that folder ? The reason why I am asking I read somewhere that you have to add [CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1 to the RUU.conf file.
Thanks in advance.
JASJAR rom works fine
My T-mobile mda pro NL arrived today and i almost immediately flashed it to Imate JASJAR firmware on the xda-developer ftp. I used the Universal_Upgrade_v1.30.68_radio_1.09.0.zip file which contains:
Rom 1.30.68 WWE
Radio 1.09.00
ExtROM 1.30.153
Protocol 42.42P8
and is dated at 08 february 2006.
This works fine and removes the ugly pink theme and adds some nice apps like skype after customizing. It also has an alternative contacts menu, which has skype integration. Pocket MSN (a not so nice app imho) is also included, although i use the new agile messenger beta.
The bootscreen mentions 'for testing only, not for sale' which might indicate that it is not a final (not sure though).
Thanks it works like a charm.
ROM 1.30.76 WWE
ROM date 20 february 2006
Radio 1.09.00
Protocol 42.42.P8
ExtROM 1.30.164 WWE
I'm using T-mobile UK version with 1.09 radio rom. This version INCLUDES the a2dp profiles, but no pushmail. You can use the blackberry connect software from german t-mobile site on the Universal. so you will have AND pushmail and A2DP.
http://www.pocketinfo.nl/artikel/5561
I think Imate rom is also a nice ROM.
Reading this topic en reading the instructions about bootloader, I have another question. In the instruction ist says to make a factory reset after loading the new ROM. Does this mean that all information in your MDA is wiped out and must be reloaded?
yes the machine is a complete naked beauty afterwards
Actualy im realy confuse ... what version of WWE ROM is the best for Universal right know !!!
what about Radio ??
and what about the speed ???
thx in advanced
NO body ????
i prefer the newest dutch t-mobile rom with included radio (1.10) rom
includes aku2, a2dp and it has shortcuts to the task manager so no need for extra app. necesarry
also the included radio gives me better reception then 1.09 (havent tried 1.11 yet)
speed is same as latest qtek rom which seems to be the most popular rom on the forum (with radio 1.09)
Help me install radio 1.11
Hi,
I downloaded radio 1.11 for my universal (qtek 9000).
I have a radio.nbf file.
How can install this new radio?
Thx
Filipe
Hi,
I got my MDA Pro last week, there was some weird problems with it where it would drop the signal rate everytime someone called.
When I called T-Mobile I was told I should update it, which I did...then MMS functionallity disapeared etc..
So my question now is, which ROM is the best to use with it...and where can I find it?
Cheers.
Hi Jeuk,
I followed the t-mobile site and downloaded the update (it ends up coming from some t-mobile subdomain on 3rd part site, can't remember the URL, sorry, but hunt around)
I've found it great, fast and stable (as long as you reset when it says it's installing the customisations - you can pick and choose the cabs you install, i'd recommend the mms/gprs settings more than anything else - search on here for the t-mobile cabs, or get the extended storage unlocker and install from there using total commander (also search here for these things - this site is a great resource). You don't see many complaints from t-mobile users here, I suspect they've actually pulled out all the stops and been one of the most reliable resellers of this phones.
but my GPRS is great, coverage is fantastic, bluetooth profiles all in there (including a2dp [sp?]) for bluetooth stereo with a moto hs820), fast running, few resets. All I have of the t-mobile branding is the awful colours on the case of the device. that horrible pink-tinged plastic down the button strip. really. I mean, really.
maybe I should add:
ROM: 1.20.32 WWE
ROM date: 11/16/05
Radio: 1.06.00
Proto: 42.40.P8
ExtROM: (I erased the extended rom.. crazy radical reinterpretation of READ-ONLY HTC)

Would you like to help me build a single CAB file for T-mobile settings?
I would like to take a stock WM5 install, and then include the Qtek dialer and T-mobile settings.
This should provide a very clean build. :idea:
Anyone who knows how to build a settings CAB file, your input would be greatly received!!
Latest TMobile ROM
In the latest TMobile ExtROM has anyone done a breakdown of what each of the CAB files does? ESpecially interested in those that configure the MMS settings and GPRS
Thanks
Re: Latest TMobile ROM
I found the thread that describe the cabs in the 1.12.126 rom, here :

i'd imagine most of the names and descriptions are the same.

Hi,
Thanks for all the replies, still having problems after the "latest greatest" update. I got the update from http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/

hi
How to enable the GPS with HTC P3600 my ROM IS 1.17.415.3
THANKS FOR HELP
rom upgrades, either here or from htc itself if it is really an HTC-branded device
from where can i have the recent rom
Lol I wish we could just enable GPS in Touch like we can in Trinity....
There is hidden quad-band but I doubt there is GPS in my Touch.
And as for the ROM, you can get it from the HTC site.
please can any body send me the link
thanks
Just go safe for a start...
Hello, I guess you must be kidding since you already have 81 post, I don't think you are so unaware of Trinity stuffs...
Anyway, in case your request was serious, here below is the HTC club's registration link.
You just register, and then using your IMEI number, you just download the suitable GPS enabled rom for your device, according to your brand or unbrand, and your geographic area.
Just go safe and start using GPS with a safe official rom.
When you feel more confident, you'll find plenty of wm6 rom on this forum, cooked or rebuilt.
http://www.htc.com/support/support_htcp3600.htm
thank u very much for your reply
yes i am old in the forums but with my old imate pda2k i got this HTC only 2 days ago.
the second thing i already registered in the HTC club and added the IMEI of my HTC but they informed me that there is no new updates for it
any idea
thanks
update your signature with your new phone details
No problem, my pleasure to help in the extend of my limited knowledge.
OK, let's start from the beginning:
could you update your signature in order to let us know which version of rom, radio, protocole etc. you're running.
And can you tell also in which area you bought your device, this will decide which rom you can safely flash your phone with.
But what I can already understand from what you are saying is that your present rom is already up to date and fully GPS enabled like every rom since april/may 2007, and even earlier for some branded releases of the Trinity, like dopod in Asia (february 2007) or Vodaphone (march 2007).
What you need now is two steps:
1) first of all make the settings icon of GPS showing up in your settings/connexions tab.
(there is a registry tweak to do that, or more simple, just use trinityhacks v0.3 that you can find by making a search on this forum)
2) find an application that uses GPS:
tomtom navigator, gps tuner etc.
You can try a free one for a start: GPS Test, that you can find by using google.
thank you for your help
from my new signature u can know now that i still have old rom that is not supporting GPS.
i bought my HTC from saudi arabia
i know that there is update to my rom as i contacted HTC support and they already inform me that i have an update but when i put my IMEI number in the support site they informed me that there is no update rom suites my version
I've got the whole picture now...
OK
1) your rom, radio rom etc. are too old to activate the GPS on your device
So you'll need not only an OS upgrade, but also a radio rom one.
2)
to go safe and use a rom that is allowed by your device's CID, you'll need an English ROM, unbranded, for HTC P3600.
The GPS enabled version of ROM is 1.23.X.X for the ROM, and 1.38.X.X for the radio.
You can find a link on this forum (rapidshare, megaupload etc. for en official English rom of that type.
I'll also have a look for you. I could upload my old ROM for you, but no luck, it's a French one, so not compatible with your CID.
3) if you are brave enough (but it's all under your own responsibility if you brick your device...) you can try that too:
- use 'trinity unlock' or 'SPL_trin' or the new one 'olibro'that you can find on this forum to allow other brands ROM installation.
- flash your device with the official dopod ROM SEA for South-East-Asia in English (that I am running myself at the moment).
I suggest you use the one without radio, spl-ipl, extended rom.
It's safe since there is no risk of conflict with your present device locks.
- then you upgrade your radio with radio 1.46.X.X also from the Dopod's ROM.
This is what I've done, without all the hassles and risks that brings the full ROM update when it's not official HTC P3600 release compatible with your CID.
A thread where they talk about the official upgrade you are looking for, in English:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299680&highlight=new+HTC+official+WM5+English+ROM

added in my last post
realy many thanks for you
i have downloaded the official rom and the new radio.
i will try to use them
again many thanks for your help
give us some feedback when you can
You're welcome.
It's a pleasure to help.
Don't forget to give us some feedback about your flashing process and result.
Once you've installed the new ROM, use trinityhacks to make the GPS visible and start using it, with 'GPS Test'. The GPS chip is not the fastest, so make sure you are outside, ideally with a good weather and not too many buildings over your head for the first try.
i will
thanks again
hi friend
i did upgrade my HTC P3600 TO
rom version 1.23.405.2
rom date 03/11/07
radio 1.41.00.11
protocol 32.74.7020.18h
extrom 1.23.405.103
BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT TO USE GPS
I TRIED TO USE TOM TOM NAVIGATOR BUT I GOT AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT THERE IS NO ENOUGHT MEMORRY
THEN I USED OTHER SOFTWARES THAT ALL FAILED TO FIND GPS
THANKS AGAIN
Hello,
nice to hear from you again.
As I told you in my previous post, the first thing to do wasn't to use Tomtom, but to make your GPS show up.
I suggest you first do a hardreset, in order to erase all the GPS softwares installations that you may have failed in the meantime.
1)
For a start, you should have first use Trinityhacks to add the GPS icon in your settings/connexions tab.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303657&highlight=trinity+hacks
(you could have found it yourself on the forum, by making a keyword search as I just did)
2)
After reboot, U'll see your GPS and check is settings that should GPD1 and most important communication port 9, plus its speed, expressed in bauds.
3)
after that, use a freeware called GPS Test (do a google search, u'll find it) and install it.
It will find itself your GPS on the right port. If it doesn't, just use the settings u've seen in the first step (com port 9 and highest speed you can)
4)
it should show looking for gps and then, gps starting up
it will search for a while before getting the fist lock (fix) on the sattelites)
when it starts, it's written 1D view, but when the fix is done, it will be 3D plus the location of the place where you are.
I suggested you to not start with tomtom from the beginning since it's not the easiest software to use with GPS, at first.
Some versions of tomtom does recognize the internal GPS without any special settings, but some doesnt, so you'll have to choose 'NMEA device' and then set it on the port com number 9.
But, try this freeware called GPS Test first, and tell me what it shows.
dear friend
thank you again for your help
really your are wonderful,
the GPS icon was shown by other way that i could find here in the forums by which i did some registery changes that showed the GPS icon in the connections.so i used this icon to adjust the com port to com 9 and to use intermediate speed.
then i used the navigon 6 program that i found how it use it in details in one Arabic forum
and it worked very nice with me.
i think i will not use tom tom again
thank you very much
Good news, you finally got your GPS up and running. Congrats.
Yes, the registry tweaks do just the same thing, and it's more challenging to do it that way, in the meantime you understand better how your device works.
I suggest (except if you've heard something different from your documentations) that you just let your GPS at its maximum speed, 115 200 bauds.
At the contrary, you can decide for each program using the GPS to set it to the full speed or to just use a part of it, but the GPS itself should be ready to give as much as it can.
I've never tried that software you mentioned. If it works so well, I might give a try sometimes. Thanks for the information.
i was informed to keep the speed at 57600 i will try to make it max
this navigon is simple to be used and a bit lite and has maps for some arabic countries
thanks again
