TMobile MDAIII in UK...ROM - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

Does anyone have an MDAIII from TMobile released in the UK? I have a German MDAIII using an PDA2K ROM now and would love to put the TMobile UK English version ROM on it....

I have the UK T-Mobile ROM, but haven't worked out how to back it up yet.

Thanks for the reply....I'm not quite sure how you would back out an existing ROM. Does T-Mobile UK have a support website for downloading ROM upgrades and such?

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/DumpRom
I sent an email to the developer to see if he could update the tool for the 128 bit header that the MDAIII has instead of the 64 bit header that of the XDAII and I.
You could try it as is though.

Anyone else have any luck dumping the full ROM from a UK T-Mobile MDAIII?
I'd like to get this crappy Imate ROM off my German MDAIII and load he latest T-Mobile UK WWE ROM...
Any and all help is appreciated!!

Same here. Someone must have one :|

I have a UK T-Mobile MDA III. If someone posts me a link to the required Rom dump tools and a quick walk thru or command line then i'll upload it.
Anything to speed up development on it as i really need it unlocked :lol:

Does anyone know if it would be possible to drop the T-Mo MDA III ROM into an XDA IIs?
I love the black case so much in comparison to the PDA2k and MDA III that I'd be willing to buy one and try it out. Of couse, there's also the issue of unlocking it if not already unlocked...
Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!

Did you figure it out "gonesuper"?
Does anyone know if T-Mobile UK has a ftp site to download ROM updates like Qtek and Imate?

Nothing? If T-Mobile UK is selling the MDAIII through their business channels, where is the support URL to download software for it?

Hi,
I've found a site which describes how to backup the ROM to a SD card on an XDA IIs so presumably it would work for the MDA III? here's the link:
http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=151&PN=1
If anyone is successful I would dearly love to get a copy as I'd like to swap my MDA but not let them know that I've been screwing with incorrect firmwares!
Cheers, JDH

Now that the MDAIII is listed on T-mobile UKs website, does anyone know the web address for ROM downloads on T-mobile UKs websites?

Dagger ga, I am currently complaining to T-Mobile UK about this very issue and there is another guy in the same boat. The MDA III still have the bluetooth and mic issues and although T-Mobile Germany has seen fit to post an patch/upgrade (including blackberry) the support in the UK is non existent.
I would urge you to add your voice to mine and contact T-Mobile UK customer services/technical support. Hopefully at this rate they have got to start to listen to all of us. The non existent support is scandalous for such a high end device.
Incidentally I have written another post as expansys.com on this to the other person who has these issues. See the forum: imate/PDA2K if you are interested.

Hello,
The best thing to do is install another ROM eg, i-mate ROM, and then install all the T-Mobile Extended ROM files from backup...
To backup the extended ROM...
1) Download this file to your device and run it! - ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/Extended_ROM_Kitchen_1_22/Tools/xda-developers _Unlocker.CAB
(this will installed the extended rom tools to your device.)
2) Under "Programs\Extrom Tools\" on your device click, "unlock" then click ok, next click "unhide" then ok! After this reset your device.
3) With the device ActivSync'd to your PC, browse to your device from you PC and you'll now see a folder called "Extended ROM" in the main "Device" window. In here are all your extended rom files. Copy ALL the files in this folder to your computer - DO NOT DELETE OR MODIFY ANY FILES IN THIS FOLDER (unless you know what you're doing)!!!
4) Go back into "Start\Programs\Extrom Tools\" on your device click, "lock" then click ok, next click "hide" then ok! After this reset your device.
5) ALL DONE - you should now have a copy of your extended ROM files.
Hope this helps...

Thank you for the advice you have offered. Unfortunately I am a complete novice and don't even know how to get hold of the latest Imate ROM.
If you have the time could you PM me with some further details on how to download the new ROM.
Apologies for being a pain and thanks again :?

Thanks to both DOM and the author of the above post.
I have got some reading and learning to do. Thanks for your patience for someone who is completely new to this whole xda world. No doubt I will have lots of questions along the way so I will keep this message short.

New o2 Mini S - Whats the best ROM to upgrade to?

Hi All,
Ok, ive been doing a ton of reading on this forum trying to learn about the device and what i could do with and without.
One key thing people say is get rid of all the o2 customization stuff. I understand this is done best by upgrading the phones ROM. I read lots of talk about the Qtek ROM being a popular choice.
I have been playing about with cabs and roms since reading this forum. Currently i have the "RUU_Prodigy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe" ROM installed on my phone.
My question is, what ROM file shall i upgrade to? Or is the one i am on now ok?
I have also been looking for the task bar program ive seen talked about. Can anyone tell me this programs name?
Thanks for any replies!!! =]
D.
better rom for o2 mini s
I would like to know this too. I've searched the forums for the last couple of days and it's a minefield. :?
I've just got my XDA Mini S from O2 and would like to upgrade my ROM.:shock:
Also what good software is there for this model running WM5. Already have Totalcommander and have tweaked the Camera and opened up Engineer mode but not a lot else.
Can anyone suugest the best ROM to upgrade the mini s to - it looks like we'll be here forever waiting for 02 to release. If someone could post what ROM they have upgarded their UK mini s to that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

O2 Mini S
I am using the following ROM on a number of phones primarily to enable Direct Push email:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/ login xda password xda
Under Qtek Roms:
186504-ruu_9100_2170702_21707102_20710_qtek_wwe_ship.exe
Look for one with this in it 2170702_21707102_20710
Only niggle would be the keyboard issue in that it is mapped differently. You can make a change in the registry to correct this:
I also used the following tools:
Under Misc:
Lockiwiz02b to unlock the phone and CID
aWizard-v1_3beta2 does a similar thing but also enables RAPI needed to talk to the Wizard during a ROM upgrade.
MobileRegistryEditor by Breaksoft
Also it may be worth getting the UK_GPRS_settings.zip file to enable the GPRS settings.
I've just put this ROM on my O2 Mini S
RUU_Prodigy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
And all seems to be OK.

Need LATEST UK ROM FOR XDA IIS

I'm in desperate need ofLATEST UK ROM FOR XDA IIS. There r so many roms on this site.. but i wanted to get the original UK o2 rom.. also i'm not sure whether i will get a country ID code error or not.. and what am i suppose to do ... pls help me.
I recently bought this phone and i realised that i can't use mp3's as ringtones as the phone would only recognize Wav formats unlike the XDA II Mini i had.. can someone pls guide me with the latest UK rom may that will fix my dilema... I don't even know if my phone is called Alpine or Himalaya... pls help me out .. thanks.
anyone in toronto area.. who can help me out with this.. might be able to give you some cash... lol
guys someone can atleast tell me if there's a way of getting phone to use mp3 as ringtones or no.. (without actually screwing up the phone or making it unstable by downloading wm5)
If it's the XDA IIs from O2 that you have then it's not an Alpine, or a Himalaya, it's a Blue Angel!
You can confirm this by going to Settings->System->Device Information->Identity, it it says the Model No. is PH20B then you have an HTC Blue Angel branded as an O2 XDA IIs...
The latest ROM is available for download from the O2 UK website if you have an O2 number, but I'm guessing you don't... I have the O2 installer, it's 40.2MB, so if you have a site I can upload it to PM me...
More importantly, why do you want the O2 ROM? There is a little app which lets you set an mp3 file as a ringrtone without changing your ROM, and plenty of apps give that functionality as well, MortRing, PhotoContacts Pro, RingoPro etc...
Let me know what you actually want and I'll see if I can help!
if you have blueangel this is the rom for you (the latest O2 UK rom)
hey
thanks guys.. i finally got it done through O2 UK website... wasn't that tough... now i ordered a Tmobile MDA (wizard ).. should be getting it soon... have to unlock it... thats another task..
P.s - I hate the Stylus on this thing.. keeps coming off.. for the moment i applied tape on it.. but looks stupid if you ask me.

UK newb question - Wizard ROM update.

Forgive my general newbie ignorance, but this seems the best place around for knowledge on this stuff.
I have a Qtek-branded Wizard. I bought it SIM-free in the UK, and use it on the O2 network. I'd like to get the latest ROM update, as made available to O2 customers via its website for the XDA Mini S. However, because I don't have an O2-linked phone, the RUU software it provides doesn't work.
I've tried accessing the same stuff on the Qtek site, but it refuses to recognise my IMEI, so I can't register on the site.
So now I'm at a bit of a loss. If I knew what I was talking about I'm sure I could install ROMs from elsewhere - like right here - but I don't.
Anyone got some advice for me on this one? Any help would be rewarded with great and pleasurable things.
I have the 2.21.4.1 O2 upgrade file, PM me with your e-mail address and i will send it to you.
Actually, as I have a Qtek phone I'd rather get the latest Qtek upgrade. I've found a 2.17.7 RUU - is that the latest Qtek one you know?
Although, is there a possibility that installing that ROM would screw up my O2 service?

Treo 750 WM6 Rom questions

I have a few questions in regards to the Treo 750 WM6 rom
Will the AT&T rom work within Australia?
If no why not?
What skillsets are required to make your own rom?
I sincerely thank you for any help.
This should be in the technical discussion. No need for a new thread.
Moderator, can you delete this thread, please?
Hi snowdonx, welcome to xda-dev.
I don't see why it wouldn't work in Australia - but I can't say for sure so someone else will have to give you a definitive answer there.
As far as making your own ROMs - everything you need to know can be learned here. I'd suggest reading some of the newer guides in the Hermes forum to get started.
To give you a head start - there's a couple basic things to be aware of. First, newer devices like the Hermes and Treo 750 will not allow flashing of custom ROMs, or more correctly, ROMs that aren't signed with a carrier or manufacturer certificate. The bootloader (SPL) enforces this. So the first step in getting custom ROMs on a device is putting in place a modified bootloader that allows unsinged ROMs. The number of folks who can do this is very limited compared to the number of folks who can build customer ROMs.
Creating the ROMs, in a nutshell, involves dumping an existing ROM using tools available here, making modifications, rebuilding the ROM, and flashing.
Hope you enjoy your stay here. =)

Has anyone with a Treo 750 successfully used the WM6 AT&T ROM within Australia?

Yup. Works a treat on Telstra and if you read through the thread you will see it works on Optus and Vodafone too.
and Three too
Does it work on the NextG network on Telstra? i'm pretty sure it should since HSDPA is included on the Treo ROM Upgrade... and how do I get the telstra software and settings onto the treo as well? Do I need to unlock the sim at all?

wow.......
Hi, I'm in Aus aswell and thinking of getting an unlocked 750V from ebay......just a question about how the IMEI is changed after upgrading to the UNOFFICIAL WM6, what will happen if the OFFICIAL WM6 rom becomes available...are we able to upgrade without problems....i know this has been asked before on other threads but no one seems to know the answer......i guess those that have upgraded to the leaked roms will find out when they try to upgrade the official rom when it becomes available......
Just try the official WM6 ROM in the upload dir on the ftp:
uploads/Treo 750Cheetah/WM6 ROM Cheetah Treo 750v
Download the NBH, put it on an empty memory card and insert it into the Treo
Push the sidebutton (below the volume keys), the right softkey below the display and reset with the stylus (all together) and the bootloader starts and you can upgrade the treo to WM6 with HSDPA enabled.
Cheers mate!
thanks, also what are the main differences between 750 and 750v models?.....apart from the word 'vodafone' stamped on the actual phone.....

the main difference is that the Vodafone firmware has Vodafone presets and Vodafone theme next to the standard Windows themes and settings. (Customisation for Vodafone). In the original WM5 rom, there was no messenger available. In WM6 the Live Messenger is back ! Other than that, I don't think there are other differences.
this ROM appears to come from Vodafone (AU)
CE OS: 5.2.1239 (Build 17746.0.2.4)
Firmware version: 1.47.02.00
so far so good...
So it's almost the same, just Firmware version on AT&T is newer: 1.47.02.00 VS Firmware version: 1.47.25.00
yes, nothing unexpected. (баян)

Aight. Thanks for the info.

*Vodafone* WM6 ROM - Download here! (Quick!)

Hi guys,
Someone has uploaded the Vodafone WM6 ROM onto the FTP site. PLEASE MIRROR!
(Originally thought to be Generic -- it is indeed the Vodafone ROM)
You can download from:
ADMIN EDIT: File has been removed due to legal complaints from palm.
Good news:
- it is more 'naked', Vodafone do very little with the ROM
- HSDPA enabled by default
Bad news:
- it is the same WM6 build as the AT&T ROM
- Still need to run Treo 750 Update Recovery Tool if you have problems not receiving phone calls
WM6 build 17746.0.2.4
Firmware 1.47.02.00
Free memory on first boot: 52.11MB Storage, 26MB Program
Not completely naked, is a Vodafone branded ROM.
Very light branding if compared with the ATT one, but the voda rom is older than the ATT version.
I think is better to use the newer rom and then proceed to debrand.
BTW the vodafone rom is better for lazy people
re
Yeah the Vodafone ROM is definitely much easier bring back to basics if you can't be bothered with extrom etc...
I'm actually still having the issue with no incoming ph calls on this ROM too. Am running Treo recovery tool and testing now
re
Thanks to "The Solutor" for info saying it is a Vodafone ROM
The Treo Update Recovery Tool doesn't delete any data btw, you can safely run it at a later date after you've flashed with WM6 and sync'd your data.
Update Recovery Tool fixes the no incoming call issue. Don't know how! But it does

I have been trying to get rid of the AT&T Radio Power On and Power Off logos. I found the location in the registry and changed it to the generic Palm Power on and Power off logos but the ROM image is overriding this. I cannot delete the files. Any ideas how I can get rid of this please?

I wonder how people think about this ROM compared to the ATT ROM
Just reconfigured my 750v with the ATT ROM without the ExtROM installed, so I'm not to eager to flash again
