possible to go back to German rom?

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?

Updating/Reverting just the radio rom?

So I think the next step to my weird repeater issue that I've been noticing is to update just the radio rom.
The stock USA TMO MDA comes with GSM rom 01.09.10, and I think that might be the reason why I can't auth to these GSM repeaters in this building.
Anyone point me to directions and rom updates for the radio rom? Also, is it possible to back up the current radio rom incase I want to switch back?
Also, last question, will updating the radio rom kill all the data on the device?
Thanks for any info.

I'm confused....
is the MDA a wizard or a wallaby?
You'll find the rom's on the ftp site....(and you sound find the older/current radio rom there just in case)

no...it won't kill the data....

TMO (USA) MDA is a Wizard.
I downloaded the updated rom on the ftp site, but it doesn't have the 01.09.10 radio rom that is currently on there. That's why I was asking if there is a way to back up the current radio rom incase I want to revert to 100% stock TMO.

In the radio roms directory is 01.09.10 from a cingular.....but I don't know if there is any difference.....

You can backup your OS and Radio ROM with awizard http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37386&start=0
Your T-Mobile is a MDA Vario (wizard), not a MDA (wallaby).

Actually, I just accomplished just that. Backed up the radio rom, updated it with the most recent radio rom... and it still wont work. There's something to these repeaters that is not letting these phones auth.
My T-Mobile MDA is a Wizard, I know. It's called the MDA in America, while most of the world knows the MDA as a Wallaby.
I should just call it a Wizard and avoid confusion.

T-mobile ROM vs. i-Mate ROM

Hello.
I've heard somewhere that the i-Mate ROM hasn't got any ExtROM. Is That true?
And another question: How can I downgrade a ROM what is says the next message: Upgrade Only!

iMate simply doesn't have any additonal files loaded in the Extended ROM. T-Mobile has specific customizations, like setting up the phone and text messaging to work on their network. If you use your phone on T-Mobile, I'd stick with their ROM (or a custom T-Mobile ROM) unless you're comfortable with changing all of the settings yourself.
As for the downgrade issue, you need to CID unlock your phone.

I've already CID unlocked my PDA, but the upgrade program says UPgrade Only. Did I missed something?
The I-mate ROM hasn't got any extrom, and the space of the extrom goes to the storage/program memory? so if I upgrade to an i-mate ROm I should get more storage/progam mem?

Need my MDA back to TMOBILE

I flashed my firmware with one of the Cingular firmwares. (my mda was already unlocked) Now when I try to use one of the tmobile firmwares to flash back it gives me an error. This is what I have installed now.
Rom 1.8.10.12
Rom date 12/1/05
Radio version 02.13.11
Protocol 4.1.13.05
IPL 2.21
SPL 2.25
GSM 02.13.11
OS 1.8.10.2
Can anyone tell me what is going on here. The phone is working and the data services work. I need someone to post the link to the best firmware flash for my TMOBILE MDA (us version) I have service with Cingular. I need the ROM that has the best receiption and performance and the most features that will work on my MDA Please help.

if you want to go back to the T-Mobile original settings, you need to upgrade to the custom ROM and then downgrade back. If you just want to have the T-Mobile settings, stick with the 2.17 custom rom that Xelecin cooked. I've found that his 2.21 rom was a lttle buggy, but his 2.17 rom is spot on. It has the cid/sim unlockers built in.
good luck

Another Question

help to solve my confusion on wizard rom upgrade

I bought an english i-mate k-jam, actual situation:
ROM: 2.16.9.1 WWE
ROM DATE: 2/6/06
RADIO: 02.07.10
PROTOCOL: 413.1.03
EXTROM: 2.16.9.101
now It seems not locked because even if from UK I tried to make some call with my italian SIM and it works.
What I want to do now is:
- backup on file the actual situation (ROM version) so if I need to sell or return it I can put it back as original
- upgrade it with tha last italian ROM from IMATE, so I'll have everything in my language
thanx

1) CID Unlock your device.
2) Search the forum for ROM backup and use one of the many utilities to backup your ROM to SD card.

i think it ia already CID unlocked (i can use my italian sim).
i'd like to backup on a file on pc since I don't have any mini-sd
thanx

Do some searches and you'll find that CID unlocking is NOT the same as SIM unlocking.
If you want to back up your ROM you need to buy a MiniSD card. If you don't want to buy a card, you're not backing up your ROM.
This is all here in the forum.
