Hi Guys,
I know this might sound like a stupid beginner question but
a. I read the forums and didn't find good info on Dutch T-Mobile MDA-3
b. I promise that if I get help from you guys - I will pitch in and help others. So thanks for helping out !
I have a Dutch MDA 3 from T-Mobile with the following:
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
My questions:
a. Is there an upgrade ROM for this phone? I called T-Mobile and they said that they are not sure when and if there will be and upgrade.
b. Is it worth upgrading? I guess newer is better but still - what becomes better - is the bluetooth clearer? is the WIFI range improved? is the phone's stability better?
c. Again, thanks a lot for the kind help
It does not necessarily need to be a T-MOB ROM...please study the forum and read the link in my signature.
All the info you are seeking can be found here.

Hi I recently purchased a MDA III on E-Bay. It came with a German manual and a QWERTZ keyboard but all of the menus are in English so I suppose it was flashed with a UK ROM (English is good because I live in Los Angeles).
Here's my phone info:
ROM version 1.1200 WWE
ROM date: 09/02/04
Radio Version: 1.02.00
Protocol Version: 1337.32
ExtROM version: 1.12.134 WWE
Being a newbie I tried upgrading the ROM with Imate_PDA2k_WWE_12200_162_10600_SHIP.exe and i-mate_PDA2k_Arabic_13100_112_10600_SHIP.exe
but both attempts failed on install when I received an Error 120 Wrong Country ID message. So I'm in the dark on what spells I need to cast in order to get the updated ROM. any help much appreciated.

Hi everybody.
First of all, thanks for this really nice forum.
I am a complete newbie in Pocket PC world. I am coming from Palm world. In fact, I was so much disapointed by palm that I decided to switch.
So, I have just purchased in London a second hand T-Mobile MDA III. I have unlock really easily with the program I found on this forum.
Now I want to upgrade the ROM because regarding the version of mine, it seems pretty old. Here is my version description :
ROM Version : 1.06.00 ENG
ROM date : 08/05/04
Radio Version : 1.00.00
Protocol Version : 1337.30
ExtROM version : 1.06.117 WWE
Model No. : PH20B
I have read a lot of information about this subject, but to be honest I am completly lost.
First I don't understand what is an extended rom ? I mean why there is two roms.
Secondly, what is the last version of the ROM I can use to upgrade my MDA III. I don't care that much about the T-Mobile configuration since I am using it in France. So anyway I will have to put another configuration for my carrier. So what ROM can I put and what is the process to do the upgrade. For the moment I don't want to upgrade to WM5 just new version of WM2003 SE. In fact, if at the same time I can get rid of the T-Mobile branding, it would be great, but it's my principal reason for upgrade.
Also, my last question is that sometimes after using my mda, it seems to run quite slow, specially display. Do you know what is the reason ? I am thinking it might be relating with the use of WM9.
Thanks a lot for your help guys.
Julien.
Hi
First of all: read all the wiki section for BA (BlueAngel)
It's quite well explained there.
Your roms are indeed old.
Go to the wiki section and download newest rom update.
( I think that I-mate's update has ROM 1.40.00WWE with Radio 1.12.00 and ExtROM 1.40.176WWE )
Upgrading is very simple, when you follow wiki.
ExtROM is a portion of ROM that contains installation files for provider-specific applications and some hotfices (CAB files). ExtROM can be edited by user (cooking) to personalize your device best.
At your point I suggest using extROM from this update.
Thanks a lot Robal.
I had to check some other post, because my current ROM was in ENG. So I use some trick to use WWE Rom.
But now it is working great.
Julien.
Hello,
I have a new US version T-Mobile MDA witht the following:
ROM Version: 2.16.9.1 WWE
ROM Date: 2/6/06
Radio Version: 02.07.10
Protocol Version: 413.1.03
ExtROM Version: 2.16.9.101
I just upated my device with the instructions provided in one of the froums. I had hoped this upgrade would have provided for A2DP, but apparently does not. Can someone lead me to the correct ROM required?
I have prowled all over the forums and cannot seem to find a single thread that can provide the ROM link and the information I need. More problematic is that whenever I try to download a file from within the forum it fails.
Also, when setting up my profile, after selecting my device all the ROM versions were at least 3.x.x.x or higher...didn't even know there were available ROMS that high!
I would sure appreciate any help that anyone here can offer.
Warm regards,
Cameron
what you need to do is go here:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/Qtek
and get the file that reads:
RUU_Prodigy_2080701_101_11310_Qtek_WWE_Test.exe
this has the new BT stack that supports the A2DP.
Worked Great
Thank you very much for your help! I guess A2DP has some way to go...music gets chopped up a bit about every 25-30 seconds...but it is convenient.
I notice with this ROM Upgrade it would seem I lose email push...not a big deal, hopefully a better ROM will be released soon.
Thanks again I do appreciate your help.
Cheers,
Cameron
Hi i am quite new on this board.
I just bought a T-mobile in netherlands and that gives me the dutch settings and dutch language codes, is there anyway for me to like update or change these to english or swedish?
If possible how do i go by this?
my info is, i think this is what you need to know atleast...
Rom version: 2.21.2.5 NLD
Rom datum: 3/9/06
Radioversion: 02.19.11
Protocolversion: 4.1.13.09
ExtRom version: 2.21.2.108
What would be the best for me to use...
and how do i do the upgrade in first place, i tried searching the forums, but i really dont understand much atm...
sorry for asking these dumb questions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=56088
Read that thread, it works to change the languages to English or which ever one you want.
my SPL and IPL is 2.21.0001
what would be the best rom for me to use?
OT: I cant find a stock rom to "cook"
All I want to do is get my QTEK 9100 to work with my new Parrott MK6000 hands free kit so that I can stream music through my car speakers. Parrot have told me on their forum:
http://www.parrot.biz/forums/english/viewtopic.php?id=3759
to update to the latest ROM for my device. Is there an issue with audio streaming with the QTEK 9100? I think I read on one of these threads that there was, hence the reason I am trying so hard to update.
The device info for my QTEK is as follows:
ROM Version: 2.17.7.2
Rom date: 2/10/06
Radio Version: 02.07.10
Protocol Version: 413.1.03
ExtROM Version: 2.17.7.102
I have been reading this forum for ages now. I have unlocked my CID (even though the device is G4 and I now understand that that was not necessary) and I have tried to update to the ROM on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1172977&postcount=361
but have recieved an error 300 message.
Is that because that ROM is not compatiable with my PDA?
If that is the case, is it only the ROM's on this page
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Upgrades
that are compatiable with the respective phones and if that is the case then I must have the latest ROM and can not upgrade any further?
I would like to have the very latest ROM (just to be flash) and have therefore set my computer to retrieve the seed for Faria's latest ROM version on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291806&page=85
is that going to work or am i wasting my time?
Any help would be really appreciated and I am sorry if I have missed something whilst scanning this forum.
there are a bunch of roms out there , seems like everyone has there own cooked version.
It is possible that your pda/phone doesnt like that rom version.
Try finding another rom image?
jeff
Can anyone recommend one that might possibly work? Its just that its difficult to tell from all the different ones out there. Also does the Rom Image have to be specific for my phone or will any do?
