Hi,
I have just received an i-mate PDA2K from the USA and I'm experiencing a rather weird issue.
When I originally booted the device I noticed that the boot screen said No GSM. Once the device had completed the startup routine I could not access the phone app and the device info didn't show any information for the radio rom.
I then downloaded the latest ROM from clubimate and tried to install it on the device but I'm getting a country code error even though the device's rom is english and the downloaded imate rom is english.
Trying a few tricks I removed the OS and Extended rom images and tried to just flash the radio rom. The update starts but quickly throws up Error 114.
With just the OS rom and Extended rom the flash works fine but leaves me in the prediciment that I still don't have GMS.
Are there any difference between the USA radio rom and the one I've downloaded from iMate or could there be something serious wrong with the radio rom in this device.
Any help appreciated.
(Edited to include device model in subject line )
in USA they use GSM with 900 MHz frequency. in Europe the GSM freq has a value of 1800 MHz. as far as i know the MDA 3 supports both bands. try to find and select the 1800 MHz band.

you have a qwertz keyboard and not a qwerty keyboard, correct?
Your device is a German MDAIII which was converted to English. When you Start the update the phone looks at the ROM and Sees that it is an English rom, it then Kicks BacK to country code error.
You will need to get the imate rom & Do the rom Hack each time you update.
Look for a thread that says 'MDAIII ROM" it will have a link to xda3nbftool and some commands to paste into a .bat file
Qwerty Keyboard
Hi,
Actually it's a QWERTY keyboard. So I don't think any rom hacking should be required.
The radio rom is missing totally. There is no option for switching bands ( i think it's auto-sensing anyway ). There even no IMEI number showing up in the device details screens.
I've sent the device back to UAE for repair...
Yes it sounds like a factory issue then.

Hi Rob,
Sorry, but I have to correct you here, the 900 Mhz band is not used in
the USA for GSM. The 900 Mhz Band was the first band used for GSM
phones in Europe and the rest of the world _except_ North America.
Due to several reasons, a new band was allocated for GSM usage, the
1800 Mhz. Now most non-us phones do standard and 900 and 1800.
North America reserved the 1900 Mhz band for GSM, since the 900 and
1800 frequencies were already in use for other purposes. Now there are
also GSM operators working on 850 Mhz. So, the latest 'world' phones
are called 'quadband' to be able to work in all four bands.
Willem.
wmeter,
Your correct. It is my understanding that ATT USA is going to the 850MHz for all their new towers.

Hi,
After reading for a while, i thought, i could give me a try in updating my HTC Charmer (T-Mobile germany, MDA Compact II).
But it seems, that I had no luck. I tried to use an original Update from T-Mobile and after the successfull flashing it would stop at the provider-picture. When trying a hard-reset I get a message, that storage format failed.
After messing around with round about 20 different Images i figured out, that it could depend on ipl/spl. Before the update I had "ipl 1.12 / spl 1.12.0000" and after the update it was "ipl 2.06 / spl 2.20.0000".
So i started to search for an old update, which could bring me back to the 1.12 version, but i had no luck.
I also found a few topics regarding this format failure, but this also couldn't bring my charmer back (including to try a prophet image).
I would be realy happy, if anyone knows a solution for this problem or can give me a copy of an old original t-mobile image with the above stated ipl/spl version.
thanks in advance,
softdown
Hi,
My device is up & running again. I don't know the solution, but one ROM solved the problem.
If anyone has the same problem, I would be happy to share the ROM's. Simply contact me under [email protected].
Best regards,
softdown
Thank, soft down, for your ROM

Hi all,
I just updated my ROM to RUU_BlackStone_HKCSL_WWE_1.19.831.0_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship.exe
from an italian TIM.
Prior the update I was able to go to Settings -> Phone -> Band and had a multiple choice in the "Select your GSM/UMTS band" - now there's only one voice "UMTS + GSM".
Before I was able to set the band to UMTS only, that's what I need. Does anyone know how to deny the GSM network band to work? (i.e. I need the phone to connect on the UMTS/3G band ONLY.)
Thank you.
BTW otherwise this HK-WWE ROM seems to work very well.
I have same problem after update to ROM 1.19...
hello ybraz,
Actually I have an italian TIM ROM and I'd like to know if before your upgrade you were be able select manually 900 Mhz band in your phone settings, because I only see in my TIM ROM:
1. UMTS (2100) + GSM (900+1800)
2. UMTS (850+1900) + GSM (850+1900)
3. UMTS (800+2100)
4. UMTS (850+2100) + GSM(900+1800)
5. UMTS (850) + GSM(900+1800)
And now in your HK ROM WWE what can you see?
Thank you in advance for your kin collaboration.

Open and import the reg file and you'll have the bands available, UMTS and GSM combined and individual
thank you very much Garcia, I'll try it !!!
I can't open the file Band.zip
It's corrupted
thank you anyway
I don't know why, but the built in Vista unzipper doesn't work with it.
I've finally opened it using another software
thank you
I think that using the modifications contained in the file band.zip we only obtain the result to change the menu items and nothing else...
Hope Some one re-cook this rom and add some stuff and tweaks like in some roms I've seen.
here's the link

O media markt vende o HTC HD livre a 655 euros
In Portugal Media Markt sells HTC HD SIM-Free at €655
Sure it does, with wwe installed on it... not portuguese for sure, you know why, couse I know some representative members of HTC portugal. As you can find in other forums users from portugal who bought sim free version got original standard wwe version. Although I think a standard Portuguese is on the way as I was told.
Props
so this is the rom for hd in portugues?
fizeste um backup da rom que vinha com o hd ne? desculpa a ignoracia ta pronta a instalar?
queria testar novas roms mas ainda nao o fiz devido a questao da garantia..

The fact of being sim free is not related with the rom.
If your HTC is sim free it will never lock after installing a different rom.
You can install the portuguese rom in your HTC but since it is a different language you need to install hard spl before.
Hi,
ask help guys, I can not in any way to make calls or do data exchange if the phone is part of umts or hsdpa, the phone in question is a 8925 tilt.
Any suggestions?
__________________________________________________ __________
Salve,
chiedo aiuto ragazzi, non riesco in alcun modo ad effettuare chiamate o a fare scambio di dati se il telefono rientra in umts o hsdpa, il telefono in questione è un tilt 8925 .
Qualche suggerimento ??
Help me
You need to enter more info. stock rom? If you flashed a rom then you more than likely need to flash a radio or a different radio on it. I had to do that after flashing some roms. Might need to do a hard or soft reset also.

Hey fellow enthusiasts!
I've got an ATT HTC One M7_UL and the problem with this is, I am in europe so some of the netwrok bands don't work.
The question is, can I flash WWE radio so that the frequencies will be enabled or it simply won't matter because this is hardware limited?
Currnetly I am on 4T.35 radio, hboot 1.61, RR 7.1.2 ROM, S-ON.
If I can flash the WWE radio, do I need to use exactly the same version 4A.35(didn't find one yet) or can I flash older one like 4A.25(which I did find)?
Thanks for your advice and have a nice day,
wOrHeR SvK

4T.35.3218.16 radio is what the WWE version is running so you already have the WWE radio on your phone. AT&T radio is 4M.35.3218.16
So it's most likely not a radio problem, maybe your carrier is using bands that are not compatible.
Supported bands are listed here: http://www.htc.com/us/smartphones/htc-one-m7/

Sooo... the question now is: what exactly are the bands enabled on WWE? I am looking for 1800MHz for 4G and 1900MHz for 3G. Is it possible to get this with my hardware and radio configuration? Could it be a ROM problem?
Thanks for your help anyway

3G - UMTS/ HSPA:
Europe/ Middle East/ Africa: 900/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 42 Mbps
AT&T: 850/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 21 Mbps
4G - LTE:
Europe/ Middle East/ Africa: 800/1800/2600 MHz
AT&T: 700 MHz and AWS band
Both the AT&T and European variants (MID PN0712000 and PN0711000) are the same exact phones with the same hardware (Product code M7_UL), only the software/firmware is different. Have you tried a full conversion from at&t to wwe (i.e using a RUU) ?
Just in case, your APN is correctly configured for your carrier?

Didn't do anything with RUUs, straight out of box FW, unlocked bootloader, flashed recovery, ResurrectionRemix, setup APN, checked APN many times(connects to 2G so should be allrgiht) . Anyways, no LTE and also no hostcard emulation got me pretty upset and as M7 was supposed to be only a backup phone for a while, I got myself the new Galaxy A8. Still would be nice to get the M7 straight so I can use it with no restrictions if my clumsy hands drop this A8 I will try to flash latest WWE RUU druing weekend and let you know.
Your help is much appreciated, thank you very much, kind sir.
