possible to go back to German rom? - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

hello,
I finally upgraded my German MDAIII to the WWE rom from I-mate.
Unfortunately i see that the keys on my keyboard just don't match. So i'd like to flash it back with the german rom.
Is this possible?
Do i need to use the devicedata for my batch file from i-mate now? or still the original T-MOB101 and GER?
where can i download the geman rom?
thank you for your help.

i just found the German blackberry upgrade, i created the batch file, and i'm about to change back. The country Id is already fixed.
asking me to upgrade radio from 1.02.00 to 1.06.00 etc....
should i proceed?
has anyone done it already?

Upgrading to 1.08 radio rom

Hi everyone, I'm going to upgrade radio rom from 1.06.02 italian to 1.08 (I found on ftp site).
I have two questions for BA masters:
1) If something go wrong, the previosly backup can restore precedent software? AKA if radio 1.08 fails, with restore is possible to go back to 1.06.02?
2) I have vodafone italy as provider. Anyone knows the code to put inside radio.nbf?
Thanks a lot

I've read the Getting Started section but im still stuck!!

Hi,
I just bought a year old T-Mobile MDA111 from Germany and need to change the operating system to WWE. I downloaded the Getdevicedata.exe file but cant seem to get it to work (probably since i dont understand german!). I tried copying it to ( \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\XDA-Tools\ ) but couldnt find \XDA-tools. Even when i saved it in programs and ran it from there it did not work.
I managed to figure out the following though:
Model: PH20B
Language: GER
Oerator code: T-MOB 101
ROM: 1.06.01
Ext. ROM: 1.06.115
Radio: 1.00.00
Could anyone help me!!

I managed to find the DeviceData.txt which gave me the following - PH20B O B GER R T-MOB101 1.06.01 01 1.06.115 1.00.00 00.00
I have now downloaded the following : BA_TMUK_14200_112_11300_Ship
I also managed to use editfix.bat to edit the correct details and i dont think i saw any errors.
BUT.... once i tried running BAUpgrade, i got this error - Radio Image file checksum error
What now??
The 1.42 rom that you downloaded is a type II rom thus the editfixbat will not work (you will get an ERROR in the dos window).
The best is just follow the upgrage instructions of the 1.42 rom as per wiki, it will work and you will end up with a WWE device that is branded by that operator.
Then all you need to do is play in wiki the extended rom kitchen.
Thanks,
Since that post, i tried updating to the current German T-Mobile ROM and this was successful.
Do you think i would be able to manage just the same if i download the Dutch or UK version and work with those? I am currently downloading the following:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_11300_SHIP/BA_TMNL_14200_115_11300_Ship.exe
Dear MDA111user, i hate bothering people but you seem to be the one who can really help me!
I followed the upgrade instructions as per wiki as you told me but i am still getting errors. Do you know which would be the best ROM to use since i need to change language from GER to WWE?
For your info the current status of my MDA111 is as follows:
Oper : T-Mob 101
sold as: MDA111
Shipped Lang: GER
Hardware Keyboard: QWERTZ
SIM was: Unlocked
Shipped Version:
CE = 1.06.01
ExtRom= 1.06.115
Radio= 1.00.00
Shipped GetDeviceData.exe/DeviceData.txt info
PH20B O B GER R T-MOB101 1.06.01 01 1.06.115 1.00.00 00.00
Last know Offical update:
1.42.01 1.42.116 1.13.00
Offical web downlaod site:
T-mobile.de
Last know upgrade that worked
As above
Upgraded on:
19.01.2006
There is no BEST rom, some of us like the 1.31 others 1.40 and others the 1.42. Can't tell you what to do only what I have done, and I have had them all.
Can't help you on the errors unless you tell me what they are. The wiki update page is tried and tested and works, well did for me and many others.
The getting started was written based on Type I roms, Now we have type II and we bypass the county code error with the MA_noID....exe file.
So if you want more help you need to tell us what you have done and what went wrong.

Need help !!

Hi everyone
I'm new on this so be kind please
I have a MDA Vario (great pda) on english
ROM 2.17.7.2 WWE
i do want to flash it to 2.18 on Dutch, when i do i get a VENDER ID error.
So i used Awizard to unlock the CID first en then option W to flash the rom. I use 1.13 beta 2.
But when i select it (optionW) there are no ROM's availlable i have extraxt the ROM package in the ROM dir.
It is a nk.nbf file and when i am reading other threads i seem to need a *. NBA file ??
Anyone have a clue ?
Many thanks

Just unlock the CID and upgrade it with the Rom Update Package (the executable with the Rom and update program).
Should work without any problems.
Good luck.

How to relock the CID

Hello
A quick question. I've searched around for the answer but haven't found it yet - could someone please enlighten me?
I upgraded then downgraded my ROM but I need to know how to relock the CID.
Does this happen automatically when you upgrade? Is there a way of knowing if it's locked?
The lokiwiz application only has the option to unlock.
Any comments greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
This is possible,
edit lokiwiz.bat
line:
Utils\wizardunlock.exe lock_backup.bin -c 11111111 -w cidunlocked.bin
where you enter your ORIGINAL CID in stead of 1111111
as an example:
Utils\wizardunlock.exe lock_backup.bin -c TMO_0901 -w cidunlocked.bin
This will relock your CID to TMO_901 (I believe it is T-mobile WWE)

I don't know if these CID's are correct!!
They are probably only for Typhoon NOT for wizard
Hi
Thanks!
How do I find the code for imate? The ROM I am reverting to is:
K-JAM_WWE_1010903_106_10110_ship.exe
Is one of those .bin files an input file I need to have as well?

You should be able to read the operator ID with TyphoonNbfTool_04.exe.
But you'll have to extract the nk.nbf file from the K-JAM_WWE_1010903_106_10110_ship.exe.
Looks like CID's from wizard are a tat different:
I got WIZORGE5 for Orange NLD..
Typhoon NBF Tools report the operator for the nbf file (in K-JAM_WWE_1010903_106_10110_ship.exe) is:
WIZCDL01
I'm basically trying to lock the CID back up so the PDA is exactly as it was when I bought it (warranty repair needed).
I bought the phone new from Expansys, not attached to any network, so am I right in thinking that that carrier is imate? (It's branded imate k-jam as opposed to qtek or anything else).
Also, when I come to relock, what bin files should I use?
indeed you should use the imate kjame nk.nbf file.
But you'll have to downgrade first to 1.01 (see the cid-unlock thread) the relock if both ipl and spl are the same (1.01).
after relock you can install the original rom.
I think the original ROM uses IPL 1.01 and SPL 1.06. (I already downgraded to the original ROM.)
This is the version I want to lock, because then I can send it back to repair. (I sent it back before and they refused to look at it because it was the wrong version, that is why I have to be very careful I understand exactly how to send it back as I bought it)
So, ipl is 1.01 and spl is 1.06. (OS version is 1.1.9.3)
Am I okay to lock the CID if the IPL and SPL are different?

DOWNGRADE

hello there...
i'm new here...
i want to downgrade my BA from helmi wm6 Pro to wm 2003 se...
like the original and default OS...
i wonder where could i download it...
can you help me...
you can download your shipped rom, either at your carrrier's site, or, more comfortably, at -=xplode's shipped rom archive=-. you can find more informations on how to downgrade are to be found -=here=-. remember, even if your shipped rom comes as a simple exe file and seems to have downgraded automatically in the past, your device is WWE now and it lost its original name, like 9090, mdaIII or xdaIIs to BlueAngel, meaning, you need to induce the bootloader mode manually and use a modified RUU to bypass country ID, model ID... error. the RUU can be found -=here=-.
