All update's possible on dutch MDA III but still T-Mob lock

It's possible to update and dowgrade my dutch MDA III but i still have the t-mobile lock, the weired thing is that on my German MDA III the lock is gone, any clue how to remove lock on dutch MDA III

Peterdm could you please tell me\us how you exactly did it. I am really tired of waiting on t-mobile Netherlands.
You would help us a great deal!

what exactly do you want to know
I have two t-mobile MDA III's one from germany and one from Holland. The German one is upgraded to english from german, and working perfect with BA_WWE_BelDT_12200_557_10602_SHIP.exe. and without simlock I use this one with KPN card. Changed the registry with regeditor (regedit.Mrln_ARM.CAB).
Installed the same software on the dutch T-mobile MDA III everything is working but the simlock is still there on the german it's gone but on dutch one stille there.
German: -sd PH20B -sl WWE -so T-MOB101
Dutch:-sd PH20B -sl WWE -so T-MOB003
it doesn't mather if you change ENG to WWE or the other way around. My only concern is to get rid of the dutch simlock.

I think the German ones are sold simlock free!

I am also trying to update my dutch mda III but when i run getdata.exe on my device I get a devicedata.txt which only has:
PH20B in it... nothing more?

devicedata.txt
You have to copy it to PC and the open it, the you will see the rest also

When I open it in windows internet explorer i get:
PH20B0BENGGT-MOB003
 1.06.00 00 1.06.1181.00.0000.00
in notepad:
PH20B 0 B
In wordpad"
PH20B
Uhmm How would my change.bat look like then?

bat file
-sd PH20B -sl ENG -so T-MOB003

So if i am correct my change.bat looks like:
xda3nbftool -x ms_.nbf ms_.nba 0x20040522
xda3nbftool -x nk.nbf nk.nba 0x20040521

correct bat file
The file is correct

Ok just to be sure:
I am running now a dutch t-mobile MDA III with software versions:
ROM version: 1.06.00 ENG
ROM date: 08/05/04
Radio version: 1.00.00
Protocol version: 1337.30
ExtRom version: 1.06.118 WWE
I have downloaded from qtek.nu the BA_WWE_BP_12200_126_10600_SHIP.zip
- extracted this into a folder
- extracted the .exe into the folder: BA_WWE_BP_12200_126_10600_SHIP
- copied xda3nbftool.exe into this folder
- copied change.bat into this folder which contains:
xda3nbftool -x ms_.nbf ms_.nba 0x20040522
xda3nbftool -x nk.nbf nk.nba 0x20040521

xda3nbftool -x radio_.nba radio_.nbf 0x20040523
del *.nba
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now I should run change.bat (dubble click it? or run it in dos?)
And after this i should softreset my mda put it into the cradle let it sync and then run BaUpgradeUt.exe and wait for about a half hour?
How can i tell the update is done... and how can I hard reset the device after this?

Well I have done it and it works great! Thanks everyone.

Re: what exactly do you want to know
Does this mean that if I upgrade my UK T-mobile MDA III with the ROM BA_WWE_BelDT_12200_557_10602_SHIP.exe I would have my MDA III with the mobile phone unlocked? Thanks.

how should batch file look like for MDAIII upgrade?

hi, i came across two different .bat files on this forum. both saying thay upgraded their MDAIII to english software.
i have already downloaded the latest i-mate rom. Or should i get the dangaard version? does it make any difference in the .bat file?
Is it A or B?

Please help me upgrading my german MDAIII...
because having a German MDAIII is like having NO MDAIII!
thanks.

Hi there,
You need to run the attached file (GetDeviceData.exe) on your device to find out what it is. This creates a file on your device in the windows folder called DeviceData.txt. In this file, it should tell you the country code (eg, GER), and the opperator ID (eg, T-MOB101).
Make sure your batch file matches the ones discovered in the DeviceData.txt file and follow the rest of your instructions.
If you need any help, just PM me and I'll see what I can do.
Good luck,
Dom

thanks for your help. Dom
i'll try this later.

ok, i ran this devicedata, and i got PH2OB.
i want to upgrade to i-mate. So do i need to fill in the second part of the sentences WWE or GER?
any suggestion?

yes : copy devicedata to the pc before opening it.
Then you will see more then just PH20B

-so -sl -sd?
but how comes that some batch files have -so??? -sl??? and some have also -sd????
What do i need to fill in? if i have the german MDA3?
thanks for your prompt reply.

Hello,
These switches refer to different things.
-sd : devicetype (eg PH20B)
-so : operatorname (eg T-MOB101)
-sl : language (eg GER)
I discovered by chance that if your details are the same as the ones in the ROM upgrade, then you need NOT include them in the batch file. As I upgraded from a WWE ROM to a WWE ROM, I didn't unclude the "-sl" switch in the file. The same with the "-sd" switch.
If you're upgrading to the i-mate ROM (PDA2k_WWE_12200_162_10600_SHIP.exe) then you'll need to use the details from your devicedata.txt file (which should be GER) and put this after the "-sl" switch.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Dom

i'm going crazy! please help!
DOM PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
I'm going crazy, i'm trying already a week to change language, i just don't succeed!
here's my info.
PH20B, T-MOB101 and GER (devicedata.txt)
then i downloaded the i-mate zip file for upgrade.
I extracted it twice, so i get in the same folder:
BaupgradeUT
Disconnectactivesync
enterbl
getdevicedata
HTCruu.conf
HTCruu.dll
xda3nbftool
ms_nbf
nk.nbf
pda2k......... CDL
radio_.nbf
And then i created the batch file with the following:
xda3nbftool -x ms_.nbf ms_.nba 0x20040522
xda3nbftool -x nk.nbf nk.nba 0x20040521
xda3nbftool -x radio_.nbf radio_.nba 0x20040523
xda3nbftool -sd PH20B -so T-MOB101 -sl GER ms_.nba
xda3nbftool -sd PH20B -so T-MOB101 -sl GER nk.nba
xda3nbftool -sd PH20B -so T-MOB101 -sl GER radio_.nba
xda3nbftool -c -u NK.nba
xda3nbftool -c -u ms_.nba
xda3nbftool -c -u Radio_.nba
xda3nbftool -x ms_.nba ms_.nbf 0x20040522
xda3nbftool -x nk.nba nk.nbf 0x20040521
xda3nbftool -x radio_.nba radio_.nbf 0x20040523
del *.nba
with wordpad, saved as fix.bat (RTF format)
then i double clicked on this fix.bat, and then upgradeUT.
As a result: COUNTRY ERROR.
Please tell me what am i doing wrong???
thanks.
Hope you can save me from my misery.

Ok,
Firstly, you should have the batch file in the same folder as the xda3nbftool.exe and the extracted .nbf files. This is because it uses these to change the opperator and language IDs. I ran your batch file on my i-mate rom files and that ran perfectly, but I can't test for your error as my device is not German.
Secondly, after you ran the fix.bat did you see a DOS/Command Prompt window work through the .nbf files? This process should take about 30 seconds and you'll notice that the "date modified" for each of the .nbf files will be the same as the date/time you ran the batch file. Check this out now!
Lastly, use notepad.exe instead of wordpad.exe - It's just easier and it wont add extra lines so the batch file will work better.
If this is not the case then you may not have performed this section correctly. Please give me feedback on the questions above then we can go on from there. If you use this sites Private Messaging feature (click on the PM link at the bottom of this post) it will be easier to contact you!
Good luck,
Dom

thanks for the tips...
I now created a batch file with notepad, and country ID is ok now. it's upgrading now. i'll let you know when i'm done here. I just hope it won't die like some ppl in this forum....
thanks

SUCCEEDED!!!
Thank you, DOM!
It's working perfectly! i-mate WWE now on my German MDAIII.
Thanks a lot for your almost "live" help.
now i only need to deal with this german keyboard
thanks

You're welcome!
Dom

How do you circumvent the COUNTRY CODE error for MDA3 German

hi, i don't mean too many threads, but i'm sensing many people have this problem---baiscally,
i had wwe 1.12 installed on a german mda3/blue angel--devicedata.exe now reads:
PH20B 0 B GER R T-MOB101 1.22.01 0 1 1.22.182 1.06.00 06.00
device data used to read:
PH20B 0 B WWE T-MOB101 1.12.22 2 2 1.12.169 1.02.00 02.00
fyi-i'm in new york with cingular as my carrier (but have always seen it as tmobile and worked fine)
and i read the steps on how to update the rom with a wwe--actually my phone is the exact same mentioned in the example--
i have tried, what i think, is may roms found within this forum--english german, french, arabic, all 1.22, and i always get the country code error.
i even tried to trick the german installer with modified wwe files and got checksum errors
so i did everything as worded and here is what i used for my fix.bat (omitting the REMs):
xda3nbftool -x ms_.nbf ms_.nba 0x20040522
xda3nbftool -x nk.nbf nk.nba 0x20040521
xda3nbftool -x radio_.nbf radio_.nba 0x20040523
xda3nbftool -sd PH20B -sl GER -so T-M0B101 ms_.nba
xda3nbftool -sd PH20B -sl GER -so T-M0B101 nk.nba
xda3nbftool -sd PH20B -sl GER -so T-M0B101 radio_.nba
xda3nbftool -c -u NK.nba
xda3nbftool -c -u ms_.nba
xda3nbftool -c -u Radio_.nba
xda3nbftool -x ms_.nba ms_.nbf 0x20040522
xda3nbftool -x nk.nba nk.nbf 0x20040521
xda3nbftool -x radio_.nba radio_.nbf 0x20040523
del *.nba
And still got the country code error, but with a different country code error as exhibited in the little diagram i made:

ok, it seams that you have to click to see the pic. but i don't even know what all that means.
i don't know where to go, what else to do.
oh, on a side note, can on use manual cab file -- like to just overwrite my current german flash with english files, reboot the mda, and if all is well--permanent save it?
i don't really know how to mess with manual cab files, like where to put them? or what to do with them--if you overwrite other files?
i know, i'm a mess. but please help, it will help others, and if my problem is fixed, i will pay out too.

things were so much easier with the xda1 -- just downloaded the special edition rom from here, and boom--everything is peachy---wish we had an auto configuration utility for the blue angels, as we did for the xda1.
--sigh.

On my SPVM1000 (XDAII) this worked just fine.

Good luck either way
(make sure you have a replacement ROM and that everything's backed up to the hilt!)

Rom password?

I have an MDA III from T-mobile and I want to replace the rom with:
"Qtek (Dutch) WWE DANGA001 1.40.00 1.40.556 1.13.00"
I changed the provider code & language code with editfix.bat
When I ran editfix.bat the dos windows said:
"Warning:this does noet look like a nbf header, possible you provided the wrong password"
Then I used MaUpgradeUt_noID to install the patch but it doesnt work? It said the update was complete but the rom is still from t-moble?
I seached the forum for the rom-password (like told in wiki) but didn't find it.
What do I have to do?
thx in advance,
Adrian

MDAIII_TMDE_14201_116_11300_Ship
I own a Qtek 9090 from E-PLUS germany and as I always use my company SIM Card from T-Mobile, I thought it would come in handy to have a T-Mobile GER ROM in the newest version. So I read the wiki on how to upgrade my phone and did everything stated in the wiki.
I edited the fix.bat as told in the wiki and when I run it, I get the same notification as the guy above.
Do I need a different PW forthis rom? Does anybody have it? :shock:
The ROM I try to install is the:
MDAIII_TMDE_14201_116_11300_Ship
HELP!!!

the details I edited in the fix.bat
the deviceinfo from my Qtek says:
PH20B 0 B GER R BRIGH102 1.40.01 0 1 1.40.750 1.12.00 12.00
And i edited the fix.bat to:

REM Replace the question marks with the data from ~DeviceData.txt
REM 'sd' stands for device, e.g. PH20B.
REM 'sl' stands for language, e.g. WWE.
REM 'so' stands for operator (Country ID), e.g. T-M0B101.

WM5 for Vodafone v1620 (Blue Angel)

Hi all
I have been attempting to update a Vodafone branded Blue Angel (v1620) without success, the ROM images I have tried all state the oncorrect Model ID. I have searched the forums for Vodafone, v1620 etc to no avail.
I have also tried using the QTek 9090 Rom but also doesnt work
Any ideas would be most appreciated,.
Many thanks
DB

Hi there,
I've done the update procedure without any problems. I've used most of the WM5 Roms out here.
I'll post my xda3nbftool batch file, which makes all WM5 roms compatible with PH20B2. (can't do it cos i'm writing from ba)

Xan
Thanks for that, Ill look forward to it.

Hi, im also trying to upgrade my PH20B2 to wm5.

thanks
A newbie.........

Have U tried using MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe (copy all files from PH20B1 folder to directory where nk.nbf file is - Helmi's)?
Cos this works for me, without any editing of rom image.

Ill try this tomorrow and report back
Thanks

thats nic but i need

Thanks for the info. My VPx works with the MaUgrade and this time I did not lose my camera function.
So far, it looks really good.
