rreally nobody can help me to solve this upgrade problem (country code mismatch) on my MDA III from T-Mobile WWE?
I heard that even xda tools cannot overcome the new encryption barrier which was incorporated into 1.31 ROM XDAIIi upgrade
Thanks and waiting
Saulo866
Just follow this link
jeez, so frustrated
hi, i have the exact same german make as the example in the link you gave has:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...x20.correctx20.upgradex20.ROMx20.forx20.mex3f.
getdivicedata.exe gave me the same thing,
i downloaded the same files in the links, and used the same fix.bat
the dos screen seemed to have fixed the files. but then i ran the baupgradeut.exe and it still gave me the country code error. i followed everything.
my only mistake was i started off with 1.12 wwe (came with the phone when i bought it off ebay) and tried to upgrade to 1.22---but the only on that worked was the german one---so no i got german 1.22 and i can't understand a thing. jeez,
but the instructions didn't work, anyway you can post your finished upgrade rom, that you used, so all i have to do is download and run the program?
plleeeezzzzeeee, with love :B
oh, i meant to say, can you, or may you, rather the the former
Look if you get a country code error then you have a country code error, its just that simple.
What devicedata shows you is what it finds on the phone, now if somebody flashed it before you got it of ebay, then that is what you get. It is maybe not what it was shipped as.
The German t-mobile is only sold as GER and has a QWERT keyboard. T-Mobile has sold a WWE version. (in other countires)
You are saying that yours was WWE, well WWE and GER are not the same.
So if you used the fix bat in the example like you said, then you tried to tell the device that it is GER and thus got a country code error.
I fail to understand how flashed it with a german version (which is not in the instructions of the posted link).
SO after all that, What do you want to do?
mdaiiiuser, thanx for replying. it's not that complicated. it used to be a german model, with german flash.
it was flashed befor i got it, i think in australia, with wwe 1.12.
and my dumb ass flashed 1.22 in german.
darn.
so, i'm lost and surfing aimlessly thru the internet for a solution. i alrady racked up a good 15 dollars in long distance bill to england today. i wll probably call germany tomorrow. but i must persit. lemme know if you OR ANYONe, has any ideas., thanx.
Boy would I enjoy not having to read this in every 2nd new tread.
Ok a reacp of what I understand.
You have a German MDA III with a qwertz keyboard. (that you got from bla bla).
You flashed it with a GER T-mobile rom using the ship.exe (and no fix.bat) which proves that the op and country code are good.
Its now in German and thus no good to you.
You are now trying to flash it with any WWE rom and get a country code error. This includes the I-mate 162 of wiki, which you have followed the steps to the letter and had no results.
Based on this my conclusion is the follwoing.
Your new GER rom has the new encription which means that what ever is checked is found at a different place than before thus the Country code error.
To prove this you need to run the Fix.bat against the GER rom and see if you get a header error (checksum or password). This in a OPEN dos window to beable to read it. Post your results if only for information reasons.
In the mean time I would redo the Imate 162 flash, drop the device number in the fix.bat and swap the postion of op and county code. (this is a hunsh never was able to prove it).
Post the name of the rom you used the fix.bat (relavant parts) and what ever you get as a message.
i started another thread, with COUNTRY CODE error, that outlines everything i did. maybe i didn't use the 162. i will try that now.
can you upload your modified files that you used? or email them to me, or exchange through im? please let me know, thanx.
i the original 1.12 and flashed that, and at least i have english now. but a german 1.22 external rom, lol.
WOOO HOOOOO
hehhehh, if anyone is bored enough to find my last 5 posts, you will find that, no only did i misflash my blue angel to german, but i didn't know how to fix it, and didn't know how to manage cab files.
i had a very limited understanding of my $800 cell phone.
because of this website, i found the only working firmware shipper, 1.12, and now i have flashed to 1.12, with and external cook of german 1.22, and wwe applications packages. i know how to upgrade the radio and bluetooth files, but don't see a need yet, the german 1.22 is working better than the stock 1.12 i had before. I'm content
i have learned, how to flash
how to use, manage external rom and cab files
downloaded a wealth of apps and knowlegde
thanks to the good people of this website
no i will proceed to donate some mula,dinero,okane,bani, cold hard glorious cash for my appreciation
this website and the community made my $800 mda worth it
thanx to:

maybe i didn't use the 162.

Dear GCPreda
Yes, not being a techie, I also would very much appreciate if someone, with our same setup, (MDA III T-Mob Ger) could work out a fully functional 1.31 WWE ROM + ExtROM to simply download (from anywhere, any ftp site) and launch.
I know I am asking too much, but I still hope
Thanks
Saulo866
does someone knows where to download the latest ROM and ExtROM for
MDA III T-mobile WWE
or
MDA III T-mobile ENG
Thanks a lot

I went through the back door to the support FTP site where we were able to download the roms, seems that they have moved that ftp root.
ftp://anonymous:[email protected]@ftp.clubimate.com/support
Do we have any club i-mate users that could log into the site and download a rom so that we can find out what the link is to the new FTP site.
http://www.clubimate.com/index.asp?PageAction=PDA2K
This is one of the few places we were able to ship.exe's from.
Help would be nice
MDA,
The ftp link from the site (after login) is the following, but I'm not sure that it works without usr/pwd
ftp://www.clubimate.com/Support/i-mate_PDA2k_Arabic_13100_112_10600_SHIP.exe

They also changed ftp.imate.com to www.imate.com, wonder why.
Nope, nothing new, since I am a member, I keep an eye on the forum and ROM updates regularly...they have promised an upgrade for some time now...latest news is that upgrade will come out in 2 weeks.
If you want my username and password, let me know...
Love to have username and password, what bank was it again?
Thanks but no, might get back to you if they close the back door, untill then no need.
Found a new I-mate rom well old as its a 1.22.05, smells like BA rom.
Can somebody with a login check the site and see what its for.

I am downloading it now to post in wiki
PTB is Portuguese
Ok thanks, seems to be vodafone and optimus both in portugal.
Had a look at the extended rom and it seems to be a WWE,
Can somebody still check the I-mate site and confrim that before I post it in wiki.
It is indeed Portuguese.
Confirmed...that is the Portugese ROM, here is the text from their website, and following the link leads to the ROM you describe, MDAIIIUser...:
Code:
The Portuguese Build ROM image is
ROM version: 1.22.05 PTB
ROM date: 10/26/04
Radio version: 1.06.00
Protocol version 1337.38
ExtROM version: 1.22.179 PTB
Bah..how crap is that? Finally a .PT ROM is released and it's completely outdated..Nice one Imate :roll:
And We are all waiting for the I-mate 1.40 WWE rom, might just be a wee while yet (like 6 months)
d3vil
Check out the thread on this rom. Might help you, I have not tested this rom.
Went on to the I-mate ftp site and I can't see any 1.40 roms around (yes I know that they are uploded onto our site).
Can some I-mate club member login and see if they have taken this rom out of circlation due to the problems that it has?
Seems stange that ALL versions are gone!
Thanks
nope still there

Ok, I have played with a few ROMS including first having loaded the UK version of the O2 ROM update and everthing seemed fine until I tried to use GPRS connection to my AT&T wireless connection which prior to the upgrade worked great. I have now upgraded to the 1.40 ROM update to see if the problem still exists which it does. I used to be able to use *99#G as a dial string and it would connect up without any problem.
Now for my biggest problem, I took the plunge without first dumping my original ROM to a file. Now I can not find one anywhere. Every link seems to suggest I should find it on the myxda.com site but I am not seeing it there, in fact the only file I see there is a Bluetooth patch.
Does ANYONE have the original O2 Asia XDA IIs ROM files? If so please reply to me and let me know where I can find them for download. My original DeviceData show the following:
PH20B 0 B WWE E O2ASI001 1.12.62 6 2 1.12.925 1.02.00 02.00
Thanks!
I guess the below file will do
ftp://xda-developers.com/BlueAngel/Extended_Roms/O2_IIs_Asia_Ext_Rom_112925_WWE.zip
If not then there is a new one.
ftp://xda-developers.com/BlueAngel/Extended_Roms/O2_IIs_Asia-Ext_Rom_131920_WWE.rar
The username and password for it is xda.
I hope this solvesyour problem.

is the ext_rom = extended roms of XDA II? if so, where could i find the original rom?
Hello everyone im new to the forum, i have a t mobile vario, i have managed to unlock it curtusy of lokiwiz unlock 0.2a. i have a few questions if someone could help me on
1. on the unlocker software there is a option of CID unlocking, what is this?
2. is there any differences between the different variations of the wizard, 02 mini, tmobile vario, kjam, qtek.... which has the better firmware??
3. can i put either kjam or qtek firmware on my vario?
Many thanks peeps :lol:
Speaking as an MDA Vario owner who has reflashed with the k-jam ROM (and now can't go back!) I would say the only benefit of changing ROM is to enable 802.11g network access, which T-Mobile disabled in software.
There appear to be no other benefits. On the downside there are features that come with the Vario that do not work with the k-jam ROM. e.g. the email setup wizard does not work. Hardly a showstopper but an example. There is also an error message on resetting about elatepushservices.exe not found or not signed. Again, it doesn't seem to cause a problem but why klutz your machine up without a good reason to do so? The version numbers of everything that comes with the Vario also seem to be higher than the k-jam ROM, which I'm guessing is a good thing.
Unless you simply must have 802.11g connectivity, as well as 802.11b, my recommendation would be to leave well alone. It will also make warranty support much easier.
oh ok so is that the only major difference then. i find my vario isn't that stable. my device currently reads
rom version 1.3.2.2 enu
rom date 9/25/05
radio version 01.04.10
protocol version 4.0.13.17
extrom version 1.3.2.102
did u use ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/ for your firmware?

I did use the clubimate ftp ROM and my equivalent figures, with the Vario extended ROM remaining, are....
rom version 1.1.9.3
rom date 9/16/05
radio version 01.01.10
protocol version 4.0.13.16
extrom version 1.3.2.102
so all my version numbers are lower than yours excep the extended ROM, which I saved from my Vario.
I don't recall the Vario ROM being less stable than the k-jam but you need to be very careful what software you install as there is a lot of stuff that is not 100% WM5 compatible. It might install and it might run but it might also crash or destabilise your machine. I have only installed the T-Nobile supplied GPRS monitor, Total Commander, TomTom 5.21 and a couple of GPS utilities and that's it.
As soon as you start throwing in today plugins and other system utilities that are less than 100% WM5 compatible you are asking for trouble, IMHO.
Hi there,
I just looked on the FTP, but is there any Dutch K-Jam/Qtek 9100 ROM available for the MDA Vario?
Thanks!!
Jeremy.
on the ftp i can see:
RUU_Prodigy_1030710_110_10410_Qtek_NLD_Ship.exe
-> uploads/htc wizard
this is right for you

Just check the XDA-Dev. FTP site.
There you can find the Dutch rom which greddy pointed out.
ftp.xda-developers.com
user = xda
pass = xda
hmmm by the looks of it i might hold out until theres some newer rom updates with significant improvements. at the mo it looks like theres only a few tweeks and i dont wana risk bricking my vario.
t mobile released updates for the mda compact and mda II http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/mdas.html
maybe they'll release some for the vario???
For us we own an english version of Qtek 9100 in which site we'll find the future ROM Updates?
have you tried xda developers ftp site? ftp://xda-developers.com/ or dont qtek have a support area?
Hi there,
Thanks, I didn't see that.
A few questions:
1. HOW CAN I DOWNLOAD THE FILE?? I can access the FTP-server, but when I try to download the Rom, the file stops downloading after apx. 20 - 40%, whichafter I even have to reset my router to get the internet working again. I used both the FTP Explorer and the Internet Explorer.
2. Should I also upgrade the Extended Rom? I want to get rid of these ugly, squared, pink and grey T-Mobile phonepad keys, so is this stored in the Extended Rom?
Which Extended Rom should I use? There are more of them, so which one is for use with the Dutch Qtek 9100 Rom?
Thanks again!!!

If you ae comfortable doing this, could you perhaps make a backup of your t-mobile rom. I downgraded to the k-jams rom without doing a backup...silly me, anyway would be grateful if someone would pop a copy on the ftp here.

Jim
I also done exactly the same, i didn't have a miniSD card, an i was too eager to upgrade so i couldn't backup my rom.
Now i wanna go back to the T-Mobile rom but no one has one on the FTP. would you be able to upload yours?
It would be very much appreciated by a lot of people here.
Cheers
i dont mind creating a back up of my rom, if someone can point me to how i can do this.
i to want to get rid of the rubbish pink phone pad, it looks ugly
jay - are you using ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/ or ftp://xda-developers.com/ ? it should work, unless your connection keeps dropping?
Need to refresh my memory on the back up procedure... get back to you on that later.
Regarding the pink key pad, a bit of registry hacking should sort that out
If you have a registry editor, follow the below, worked fine on Compact II but never got to test it on the vario before the downgrade
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin
Properties
Dword- Enabled
Value - 0 (default HTC skin - cool blue)
if you change the value to 1 it then displays the T-mobile's wonderful pink and grey pad.
Save the changes and they do a soft reset
Hope that helps

Yes, i've tried in the FTP site. But in there the roms are backed up from other devices and not directly from Qtek support. First, I would like know if there is problem or there are any diferrences between roms backed up from devices and the other from official support.
In the end, i'm asking if there is a link for official Qtek support where we can find the future rom updates.
There is a nice pdf guide on backing up your ROM here you need to do procedure 'r2sd all' as opposed to 'd2s' as suggested as that guide was for the magician.

Newest ROM?
Hi,
I own a T-Mobile MDA Vario, too. It is already flashed with a WWE-KJam-ROM. Now I want to know, if there is a possibility to flash a German ROM to it. Or if there is a newer version of the KJam.
My device informations:
ROM version : 1.1.9.3
ROM date : 9/16/05
Radio version : 01.01.10
Protocol version: 4.0.13.16
ExtROM version: 1.1.9.106

t mobile english version
hi to everyone
I have a mda vario with t mobile deutch and I'd like to know if it is possible to flash the rom into english t mobile rom or an other english rom. If possible could u gently explain me how to do?
many thanks
here are so many people with a German MDA Vario.
Isn´t it possible, that one of them reads out the original ROM and set´s it to the ftp so that others, that want a German ROM can flash this?
I am not a professional in this, so correct me if that is not possible...
Micha
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 ?

just in case you missed it.. READ THE WIKI
I've read the wiki - And although it tells you HOW to flash, the guy is asking for a Vodafone ROM.
I'm also looking for a vodafone rom and am finding it almost impossible to find. The one in a recent thread is actually a Qtek 9090 rom.

Heres an idea.. go to google and type in vodafone rom
maybe you will find a link to one there.....
I'm actually looking for a fully Vodafone-branded rom. I've only ever found one of them - and it was from Vodafone DE, not ideal for me.
I'm well aware the rom archieve is gone, I actively follow the site! But the fact is - there WASN'T a vodafone branded rom on it start with that was english!
Why do you need Vodafone ROM? Just use the newest 1.42 from T-mobile

Not meaning to be funny or condescending... however....
I just did a quick google search..
Using these keywords.. Vodafone 1620 Rom
And guess what?? I found 3 roms within 3 minutes... in English...
How did you find a german rom? In germany it is called the VPA3 not the 1620
Ok ok ok point proved (I was actually looking for VPA! Found a VPX/V1620 now thanks!)
Anyways, the point was the wiki doesnt answer everything - its mainly techincal help thats offered, and with the FTP taken down its going to get a lot harder to find ROMs.
SUGGESTION: Why not introduce a new wiki page where you can obtain the official ROM updates from the manufacturers/operators websites?
some cool things about the WIKI......

Agreed it does not answer everything.. So.. lets think of solutions...
The WIKI is an open book that can be written.. So create the page you want..
If you want to link to "official" ROM sources you can, just create the page...
The whole backbone of this site is based upon the fact that we share knowledge.. a true USER BASED community... Maybe thats why sometimes people like me get a tad "uptight" when people forget how to use google!
Go ahead.. create that page in Wiki.. it doesnt take that long to do!
(BTW.. glad you found your rom! )
problem solved
contact me for problem on vodafone v1620
I have a lot of experience on this device now
