With the plethora of new ROMS that are being released by various operators (and O2-UK as usual not doing anything about it) - has anyone successfully loaded one of these new ROMs onto their UK XDAIIs ???
Anyone fancy trying it ?
If someone can post a modified ROM (with correct country codes etc), then I will give it a go ! Ideally the Ext Rom will need to have the O2-UK customisation in it ...
Cheers

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.

Help, I have Qtek 9100 on the O2 network in England, it doesn't have all the O2 customisations so I'm thinking it is a basic Qtek ROM. At the moment it is running the 1.1.7.5. ROM. I'm looking to upgrade the ROM, the 2.1.7 seems to be the best. But despite reading through the forum I have some questions.
1 - Does the Qtek 9100 need CID unlocking? I've read that if I install the Qtek 2.1.7 upgrade I won't need to CID unlock the phone.
2 - Is the latest ROM shown on the Qtek site the 2.1.7. version?. I have tried to log on to that site but its says it does support the IMEI I've entered.
3 - What is Cingular?
4 - Could some one post the link to the 2.1.7 Rom English upgrade?, I've found a step by step guide to upgrading and loads of links to different ROM's But want to be sure that I've got the link to the right one.
5 - Is it worthwhile carrying out the upgrade, and how likely am I to bust my phone?
Thanks in advance for the advice, In short all I want the best upgrade with the least amount of hassle to upgrade.
Hi,
If you stick with the Qtek rom, you dont need to CID unlock...but it is worth doing for future use...as you can not CID unlock a v2 ROM....yet.
Cingular is a US phone company...like O2, T-Mob etc.
If you follow the instructions, you should be ok, i have done a couple, and touch wood have all been ok.
I think you need a ROM from this lot:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Roms/Qtek/
but I dont know which one is the newest...most stable etc.
GOOD LUCK
I'm in a similar situation here, I've currently got the O2 Supplied 2.21.4.1 WWE ROM, most people here seem to be upgrading to other ROM's such as those supplied by QTEK... looking at the Wizard ROMS on the FTP, which one should I be upgrading to? And what are the 'prophet' ROM's on there?
think I've got it it sorted now, shouldn't need to CID unlock if I use the Qtek 2.1.7 release. Not sure I need any other companies Roms unless someone is going to tell me they have some features I can't live with out ?
Released on the 19th of March, there are 2 new ROMS (non GPS) for the following networks:
Optus (1.17.707.4) - Download
Hutchison '3' (1.23.707.5) - Download
Of note ... it appears that the Hutchison '3' ROM includes Radio ROM 1.33.30.10 from the description. As I am a Telstra Customer, I am waiting for the Telstra ROM.
Cheers!
do these ROMs have GPS support?
thanks- if so my wife is going to kill me as it just took me hours to get it how i want it (only had it 10days now) and if i had to do it all again.... )

I've been playing with a few different WM6 roms available and decided I should probably go back to an official WM5 ROM because of the little bits and pieces that doesnt quite work together atm.
I thought I have read in the past that upgrading the radio would improve reception/batter etc. So my question is, can I keep the newer radio I have? How would I do that? It would appear the official ROM includes the radio update.
Do I just take a step back and then update the radio seperately?
cheers
Hi,
Newbie alert!
I am a UK post pay O2 user interested in flashing my Stellar with a new ROM. I have been reading the wiki and other posts about unlocking & flashing my phone, I am happy with doing all of that.
My main question is once I have flashed my phone I know I will lose all my O2 provider settings. Does anybody know where I can find these.
Also can any other post pay O2 Stellar users give me info about which ROM & Radio upgrades they have tried. Tips etc
Thanks,
Chief
hi there Buddy.
when You will flash a new rom, then Your o2 connection will be set up automatically. i.e. I have flashed my t-mob vario III with 6.0 wwe rom and autoconfiguration tool recognized my o2 simcard without any problems.
most of new roms have this tool build in (I know that Leo's Diamonds have it).
hope this helps

Thanks for the help
O2 Germany today released a "new" ROM version for their diamond:
Version 1.37.207.3
I guess there's nothing new or fancy in there since even newer stock ROMs have been seen before - but I'll give it a shot and keep you updated about the versions of the specific components once I updated my Diamond...
O2 Germany official Diamond ROM
Cheers,

Great - DO NOT INSTALL THIS ROM! Custom weather cities don't work properly anymore... They ship an even older version of Manila...
I guess it's time to get into installing cooked ROMs now... But at least there's now an official image that I can use for warranty reasons.
No new Radio or SPL as well.
While I must revoke my statement about the custom cities (they do work, my mistake) this ROM still is not worth the upgrade...
I just called O2 and they told me there are almost no changes done in this rom and recommended me not to upgrade.
