ROM 4.01.12 on T-Mobile USA

Is anyone using the ROM version 4.01.12 on a T-Mobile XDA I in USA?
How has it worked out?
I want to cook a ROM from Stefan's great kitchen, using this ROM. The last one I cooked used ROM 4.01.16 (Official T-Mobilee version) but this ROM is really buggy.

define "buggy", cuase I want to cook a rom, and am not sure if I want 4.01.16 or not. Thanks.

1. With the phone turned on but PDA powered off, the PDA powers itself on every few minutes.
2. SD cards occasionally shows no files using Total Commander. When I pop the SD card into my PC's card reader, files are there?
There are a few other bugs that I can't put my finger on at the moment. If I could solve #1, the rest wouldn't bother me.
I should say that the ROM kitchens are great.

the PDA powers itself on every few minutes.

I have the same problem and it really pisses me off. My battery is always dead because it just randomly turns on. I set my XDA to turn off after 1 minute of inactivity....this helped a little.
I'm also looking to see if 4.01.12 works on T-Mobile in the USA. I really want 4.01.12 for the wmodem application. I asked Stefan, I'll let you know what he says(unless he posts here first).
Only one thing I liked: The ROM made my XDA super fast. When I view web pages with lots of graphics, it moves smoothly now. I'm not exactly sure why this is, but it's deffinately faster.

The 4.01.12 should work without any problem in the US.
Just don´t touch the radio Stack.
Easiest is cooking your own rom.
Best way is cooking without any Autoconfig, because it includes only Conifig for european providers...
Stefan

Thanks for your help, I'll download it now and test it out.

I can verify that the 4.01.12 works great on T-Mobile USA!
I'm typing this from my cell phones connection. I finally got wmodem to work after 2 weeks. Thanks for all your help Stefan.

Thanks Iron & Stefan.
I'm going to cook myself a ROM using 4.01.12 in Stefan's great kitchen.
Iron, has this ROM fixed the random turn on problem?
Have you noticed any drawbacks or problems?
Joe

So far I havn't noticed any random turn ons or any problems. Seems to be a good rom! 8)

I can't load this ROM. Everytime I try to flash using the exe file I cooked, I get the following error message:
ERROR 011: EXECUTE REMOTE COMMUNICATION PROGRAM ERROR
Cannot execute the remote communicatin program. Please make sure the the USB/Serial cable is properly connected.
Any idea how to work around this so I can load this ROM?

I got the same error. It must be a problem with 4.01.16 or something. You need to flash it to a SD card. Ask me if you need help flashing.

Iron
Can I just copy the flashed exe file to an SD card, then use
bootloader on my XDA to execute the ROM file?

No, you can't. Just use XDAtools to make the required bootable SD. No, it doesn't matter what size, as long as it's 32mb+, and I feel as though I should tell you that you will loose all data off the card when you use the tools to put the image on. There is a certain format, and a header string, and bootloader compatability, and yada, yada, yada... XDATools OSImage takes care of all that.
I just hosed my MDA I with a 4.1.16 ROM by installing KSE truefax into the image. Had to use SD method to reload the same ROM recooked without KSE, and it works beautifuly!!!!! This [email protected] vibrate is the only thing really pissing me off right now, but I haven't found any known probs, except broken pins/burnt motors. We'll see when I take it apart to strip/paing the case.....Sorry, getting off thread subj.
Good Luck!

I think your asking this so you don't need to download it again. As he already said the answer is no, but you do not need to download it again.
Download OS Image tool as he said, and there will be an English Folder. Extract the .exe that you downloaded and there will also be an English folder. Copy the .NK(I think its .NK) file from the ROM English folder to the OS Image tool English folder. Right click on the file and click Burn to SD card, and you will be set to go.

From everything I've seen and read, one has to use the sync cable.
If there is a way to flash the phone using an SD card, I'd like to know it myself!

Yea.. i would wonder greatly. they developers should find a second way... or da old ways where something like bootdisk available.. grrr.. i think need to find a pro..programmers to do it.. to write a software like bootdisk with sd slot activated...

I think that it would require a rewrite of the boot code on the phone for an SD-based flash to work.
Major work, especially for an old device that HTC doesn't appear to care that much about any more.

yea.. that's y.. they should come out with something like tis..

Goin' nuts! Who can help me with this?

Hello all, best wishes for all of you.
I am new on this forum and read many stuff here allready. However i didn't find a real solution yet for my problem to get cab-files installed, f.e.:
I'd like to install Gyrator 2 on my HTC Touch HD (UK) (And other software)
When i try this i get this error:
"The file "gyrator" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring the file".
The same message occures when i try to do this with other cab-files. GSen was going fine and even CabInstaller did. Net Compact Framework 3.5. installed and ROM version: 1.14.401.3
I copied the cab-files from PC to PPC by dragging it into the Storage Card.
I would really appreciate your help, because im goin' nuts!!!
Tia ....

Hello.
try this:
- make a soft reset and try again to install from the SD card
- make a soft reset, copy the .cab file with activesync to the phone memory (not on the SD card) and try again to install
when this also won´t work I´m afraid you will have to hard reset your phone..

i had same problem
why dont you just use Gsen, same thing, works great! its definately here

As said it is not only Gyrator but it occures with more cab-files. The rotate is not my only goal, therefor i surely could use Gsen, but Gyrator 2 cn do much more. The same with other 3rd Party's ...

Use Advanced Configuration to make sure that your security warning is disabled.
What .cabs are you trying to install?

Problem SOLVED!!

Problem solved! The way i used CabInstaller was wrong. Instead of open the CaBinstaller first and then adding the cab-file and destination path, i double clicked on the cab-files first and then it won't work, because i gave CabInstaller permission to take over the control of installing cab-files
Thank you anyway for thinking with me ..

Great to hear you solved your problem!
<off-topic>Could you please change your subject in the initial post? subject is supposed to describe what the thread is about like "unable to install CAB files" or something like that...thanks<off-topic>

I think you've missed the sticky...

It also explains how to get back to WinMo.

Hi,
I think I followed all instructions to switch back to WiMo in the sticky thread.
For a second the display shows a screen with four colours:
KAIS130
SPL-3.28.0000
CPLD-8
Then the screen turns to grey showing:
Loading ...
but nothing else happens.
Data on my sdcard:
KAISDIAG.NBH form the sticky thread
KAISimg.nbh (renamed RUU_signed.nbh) form rom file from this thread:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379554
Do I have the right files on my sdcard?
My phone: T-Mobile MDA Vario III
Any suggestions?
thanks,
t0nNe

Thats not a stock WM rom, I'd recommend looking for Kaiser_HTC_ASIA_HK_WWE_3.34.721.2.exe
That is the last HTC stock rom, and should flash either from Bootloader using USB, or by extracting and renaming RUU_Signed.NBH and flashing by SD card.
Note that it is safest to Format the SD card before copying files and flashing, just to make sure that there are no other files or folders that could possibly confuse things.
Things to check, if using bootloader and USB, make sure you remove the SD card first. Before you enter bootloader unplug the usb cable too, now camera+power, the bootloader screen should display 'Serial' on the bottom white area, after this plug in the USB cable, it should now say 'USB', once this is showing run the file above and plunge you back into the hell that is WM
For SD card method, make certain that only the KAISimg.nbh file is on SD, and when you enter bootloader mode note that it may take a little while to read and check the NBH, since it is around 100MB, so be patient.

Hi zenity,
I deleted the KAISDIAG.NBH form my sdcard and took the renamed ruu_signed.nbh from mda-vario.exe from german t-mobile site.
Now it works fine.
Thank you for your support.

This happened to me last week. I wanted to check how WM used to look on the Kaiser, and I got into the same issue...
Man, WM on Kaiser looks terrible! Android is much faster and more usable than WM, even with the latest ROMs.
I'm not saying that WM is not a capable OS, it's just very hard to use on a small screen. On my HD2 at least, it runs quite fast to compensate for any aesthetic issues

Glad I could help, and it's a good thing to have that file if you ever decide that WM is not as much fun as Android, ( I give it a week maximum before you reflash ).

Damn... i said that ?? Can't remember....
Anyhow, post back results

same thing
after format same result no image file ...

So... your SD card is formated as FAT32, the file is named, exactly, KAISIMG.NBH, and the device does not detect it...
Question number one, is the sdcard ok ?
Question number two, is the sdreader ok ?

hell yeah
Everything is exactly how it should be. Except i was thinking also that sd card may be the problem but after a few tries with different cards i found out that the card is not the problem. After all i think that may be this is fault of the guys i took my phone to repair usb port but after three weeks later they didn`t, telling me that for my phone there is no port `cause it wasn`t as normal kaisers` port it is mirrored and the can`t find such in the internet to order (my kaiser is from T-mobile from Germany) and after they gave it back to me it started to make this weird thing...
Anyway thank you for your fast answers and suggestion really appreciate your help dude i wish you the best!

"Mirrored" USB port?
Sounds like a regular Kaiser multi-port to me. Kaiser, Tytn, Raphael, and a whole bunch of other HTC phones use that port.
Double-check and triple-check that ATools recognizes the file as a true Kaiser image.
You can name it whatever you want but if the file signature doesn't match what the SPL is looking for, you won't get it to install.
Which SPL are you using and did the "repair" people reflash the stock SPL ont the phone?
And... how long before the gray screen says "No Image File!"? If the image is wrong you will most likely see a group of 8 numbers across the top of the screen.
If you see these numbers, the image file is wrong.

?!?
the spl is 3.56.Hard CPLD-8
THERE is no numbers just displaying really fast no image file it took a long time to even read it `cause it is displaying it very fast and after that is back to three color screen ! I really don`t have any ideas any more ...

Success i formated in fat after that fat32 and this trick worked !

I was just about to ask about formatting...
Good to hear you figured it out!

When this "strange" issue pop up with sdcards and usb flash drives, i always resort to the the old HP SD Format tool
http://en.kioskea.net/download/download-127-hp-usb-disk-storage-format-tool

i will have it in mind next time ! thanks you !
