Has anyone with the current T-Mobile Shipped Rom, using the BB client updated to a higher radio/bluetooth version. If so, has it had an effect upon the BB client? If I recall correctly the BB client was shipped with 1.06 in Germany?
I would like to upgrade to 1.12 &3900 but afraid to do so.
Any help appreciated. Thanks
I called T-mobile and they sent me a disk with a ROM update that included Blackberry (Instant e-mail).
I installed the update, which ends with a hard re-set.
then I restored the MDA from a full Active sync backup. this of course overwrote the Blackberry app!
Then I unlocked the extended ROM using tools from this site. Then I ran the auto installer in extended rom and the Blackberry stuff was re-installed.
Then rang t-mobile and added Instant e-mail for £10 a month. Works well.
Got the T-Mobile BB upgrade, and got my account activated 4 weeks ago (radio is version 1.0, BT is 3500).
Got the BB service up and running, but when I tried to upgrade the radio stack to 1.10, everything worked fine on the phone side, but BB stopped working.
Contacted T-Mobile CS who tried to help me get it work, said everything was fine their end and even tried many options to make it work - In this particular instance I can honestly say that I have never had better customer service. At the start of the call, they offered to call me back right away (which they actually did) and the call lasted over an hour. Eventually we concluded that it must be a problem with the radio stack.
I re-installed from the T-Mobile 'upgrade' back down to radio 1.0 and everything worked fine 'straight out of the box'.
All the BB settings and data are stored in the storage area on the MDAIII, so hard resets do not mean loss of data and you don't have to reconfigure the BB client at all.
I haven't had the time to try any other radio stacks yet, but would be interested to hear anyone else's experiences.
Has anyone managed to extract the BB client from the T-Mobile UK ROM yet? If so, would someone be kind enough to point me in the right direction?
Also, has anyone managed to get it working with another operator (specifically Vodafone)
Thanks!!

Did you manage to try BB with the 1.06 Rom on the FTP site. I am making an assumption that it should work as Germany released BB client with 1.06, but we all know what assuming does....
I am hoping that someone more expert than me will act as guinea pig :?:
Thanks J
The version I am using is
MDA3_TMUK_v106160_SHIP0307.exe
It works fine for me. I am using the t-mobile instant email account and it is also polling my standard pop3 account. I don't have a BES.
T-Mobile BB with Radio ROM 1.06 and upwards
OOPs apologies I wasn't very clear in my last post. What I was referring to is whether you have upgraded the Radio ROM from version 1.0 which is the one contained within the 1.06 BB Rom.
I am running BB fine on my device as well with the updated ROM. The problem, as ever, is the bluetooth range and quality. I believe that 1.06 is supposed to be a significant improvement over 1.0, even if 1.08/1.10 or 1.12 cannot be used.
Sorry for the misunderstanding and thanks for the tip. I'll upgrade to 106 asap and give it a try.
Jiggy - Sorry I took so long to reply, but I've been busy. Finally got round to installing 1.06 Rom on the FTP site and BB works. Thanks for the suggestion.
BB with Radio 1.06 and BT3900??
XDA Rocks - thanks for the response now I will give it a try
Have you upgraded the stack to 3900 in addition to the 1.06 upgrade?
I just wondered whether this will affect the BB.
Thanks J

Gentlemen - many thanks for all the feedback and especially MDAIIIUSER for all the guidance.
Got slightly carried away and went the whole hog!
MDA III on UK T-mobile
Flashed with 1.40 ROM, 1.12 Radio and BA_ERK_13 (from 1.22 kitchen)
+BT 3900
Everything worked well and the bluetooth may have been marginally better.
However could not get the blackberry client to work. Using instant email - the system would log on and then drop out without registering. (Similar probs in other threads). Again Tmobile customer service were exemplary and we tried everything - finally resetting back down to 1.06 ROM, 1.00 Radio and 1.06 Ext ROM. Now it all works again!
Therefore I'm assuming it's the radio that's the problem and that 1.12 does not work with BB. When feelinfg brave again will upgrade the radio to 1.06 and the Ext ROM to BA_ERK_13. Is the consensus opinion that this is sensible and should I be able to get away with the main ROM upgrade to 1.40? Anyone else tried any other combinations that allow BB to work?

Not sure if I read what you wrote correct or if you obmited some info.
Anyway If you used the ERK_122_013, in its full then you also upgraded patches like BT that are part of the 1.40.
You need to only use the customizing files and the ERK_140_Base files
As for the BB, you need to read the thread on that, think it went along the lines that only the 1.06 radio worked.

Yes, upgraded to 3900 and BB works fine - BT still crackles though.
Radio 1.06
xda
Sorry to be a pain but could you PM me with the link or send me the 1.06 radio upgrade file. I couldn't find it on wiki (lowest I could find was 1.08).
Do you think it is worthwhile upgrading in terms of the quality and range of the bt (I note your comment that it is still crackling :evil: ). Hopefully you have noticed some improvement?
Thanks again
Jase
Jiggy,
I found the radio rom on the ftp site in
/BlueAngel/Radio_Roms
I have upgraded to 1.06 and BT3900 and personally haven't noticed any improvement using Jabra 200 and Bluespoon AX headsets
T-mobile Blackberry
MDAIIIUSER
Many thanks again.
Just confirming but if I understand correctly - the best that we can hope for on our UK MDA IIIs at present is: (with Blackberry working)
ROM 1.06
Radio 1.06
Ext ROM 1.40 cooked (customised as required)
Is this correct?

Sorry for asking such fundamental questions but i am new to this site...
I have a Orange SPV M2000 (Blue Angel)
Can I ugrade the rom on this, what will the upgraded rom give me that i dont already have and how do i do this ?
I have looked at the rom pages and can not seam to find an Orange rom, does this matter ?
Sorry if these are basic questions, thank you for your time.
I also have a m2000, was wondering if it would be ok to install the new 1.4 asia O2 rom???
Mainly want it for WMP10 due to the streaming video etc.
Have red some mixed reports about the new rom, is it actually better than 1.31???
ive upgraded my m2000 using the wiki
im basically running the imate roms as im unsure on how to play with the extended rom.
everything went fine without a hitch!
I have an orange SPV M2000, I have successfully upgraded to Rom 1.40 with Radio Rom 1.13
I am a bit of an old hand doing this as i have had a pocket pc since the inception of a ipaq 3630 many moons ago.
What you ask do you get with the updates? well the main reason for upgrading is the increased reliability. far less soft reboots due to lockups.
and a nicer interface with WM10 especially since i have a media center PC and i can automatically synch my recorded TV to the device
anyone needs help with upgrade you can msn me at stuart b ***NOSPAM***@broadbandtap.co.uk
I can't download MaUpgradeUt_noID.ZIP ?????
HELP?
Hi,
I ran my Qtek9090 now hapily with KPN140 version, BT3900 and Unidirectional patch (since that long-awaited came out!).
I allready searched the forum but could not really make out why and if I should upgrade to 2005 version.
Is there allready a list of what is better and what is worse?
Maybe just simple list like:
(example!) - Wifi better 2003SE
(example!) - Bluetooth better 2005
Hi pvanhaaren;
I have had problems with my Qtek 9090 when it was flashed with windows 2003 SE version 1.40, Radio 1.12 and 1.13.
Soft reset an average of 2 times per day, trying to keep the GSM connection online, so that I can be available, reachable for the ones who were trying to call me.
Well this Problem has disappeared in Windows 2005 version with Radio 1.13, but some applications in 2005 are very slow in opening and sometimes freezes about 5 to 20 seconds. If you press the hang-up key (to End a Call) and place your phone into standby mode, you can hear a voice that this button was pressed in about 3 to 5 minutes after standby, very strange.
Actually there is a new ROM version 1.42 which is included in the T-Mobile Image, and flashed my device with this version, facing no problems till now, very fast and stable, and forgot when it was the last time I soft reset.
Current Device Info:
Rom Version 1.42.00 WWE
Rom Date 09/05/05
Radio Version 1.13.00
Protocol Version 1337.42
Ext Rom 1.42.115
Didn't install all the files of the Ext Rom (ex: T-Mobile Skins, Registry Settings, etc...), picked some applications from T-Mobile such as Caller ID, Arc Soft MMS and Camera to be able to use the MMS.
As the topic says...
Im havin a hard time getting the 8125 and the BMW car hands free kit to work perfectly.
It was suggested in a Bluetooth BMW forum this...
"Make sure your 8125 has the AKU2 ROM installed (Settings->System->About: OS 5.1.195 (Build 14847.2.0.0) or later. I did not
personally test with a 8125. My device is an OEM HTC Wizard. The 8125 internal hardware should be the same. If your device has an
older build, ask Cingular to upgrade your ROM. Since the 8125 is relatively new, I would guess that yours has the AKU2 ROM."
I upgraded to the 2.17 rom from here and Im having the same issues as before with my stock cingular rom.
The OS on the 2.17 cingular 8125 that I have says OS 5.1.70 (Build 14410.1.1.3)
Anyone ?
Thanks
the biggest problem is with the bmw ulf. if the car is under warranty, then you can get your dealer to change out the ulf. I had one of the first ulf in my m3 and that just had problems with the 8125. I had them swap it out and it was ok. The only reason they did it is that the ulf in my wife's x5 worked great with the 8125. So it is basically the firmware rev in the bluetooth ulf in the bmw.

What year is your BMW? and what is the model number of the ULF?
Thanks
don't know the model of the ulf, the m3 was a 1/2002 but hte wife's x5 was a 35/2003
i will check to see if I have the models of the ulf still. I can tell you that the one in the m3 was the second rev of the ulf. But the replacement was just put in 6 months ago. and had a rev date of 2005.
I was flashing 2.21 rom to my 8125. After that, I got OS5.1.195 (Build 14847.2.0.0). maybe you can try the 2.21 rom to see if that help!
Im not sure the 2.21 is for cingular...
I am using Cingular with 2.21 Rom
hmmmm 2.21rom???
Im on the 2.17 I guess Ill have to look around?
my OS with the 2.17 is 5.1.195 Build 14847.2.0.0
Bump...help????

hi the latest part number for the ULF (UK) is:
84 21 6 945 387
This unit fits:
3 Series E46
5 Series E39
X3
X5
Z4
They are £300 inc VAT plus fitting......
there is a guy in the US that sells it. Highly recommended! And he sells the newest ULF.
Does this guy have a site? I am interesting in getting the latest ULF.
What exactly is your problem? I have an '03 530I with one of the original ULF modules and my 8125 works great. I haven't checked contact downloads, however, because I never use it anyway (the interface is a joke)

Using the different ROMs either the stock or the updated 2.17 the BMW ULF wont download the contact list from the phone. It works 1 time then after that I cant scroll through my contact list using the steering wheel and make a call. I can only initiate calls from my phone not the steering wheel.
hmmm... that may be. You're a better driver than I am if you actually use your contacts on the car hardsfree. One of the problems that make it unusable for me is that the type of phone for a contact isn't listed, so I'll see a contact listed 2 or 3 times and have to guess at whether its the mobile business or home number. This after manually scrolling through possibly hundreds of contacts to get to the name I'm looking for. Because of this, I've pretty much gone to voice tags on my BMW, or I use the contact list on my 8125 to initiate the call. Maybe the newer MIDs fix this but I've got the MKIV navigation MID with v27 software installed and contact lookup is still a POS IMO....
FWIW, there are very few phones that actually update contacts correctly on BMW.
I have the supposed newest ULF the 387 number. It has a (H) (M) or (W) before the contact name to tell me what the number belongs to. Like (H) Joe Smith then after 2 seconds the number appears as xxxxxxxxxx.
Evry two times i switch off the phone, my MTeor looses its connection settings.
This makes it impossible to connect to the internet, wap, etc. In addition, my POP mail account is deleted.
Anyone had the same problem and found a solution ?
I called Qtek assistance but they dont know anything about this issue.
Luca
HTC WWE MTeoR
Radio : 1.06.00.10
ROM: 5.1.195.14955
Yes I have this problem too - and also a problem with call waiting - when you are on the phone and have call waiting enabled for "notification" the phone HANGS!
The MTeor has a terrible radio stack and needs urgent ROM fixes...
H
Same here. The HTC ROM is crap.
I have now updated my phone with the imate rom.
Just like the HTC ROM it looses all of the connecteion settings and email accounts and the battery life is just as crap.
This phone is a pile of junk.
Period.
I'm sure that future ROM updates will correct any problems MTeoR has.
If you recall, the qTek 9000 was far worse on it's first ROM version, MTeoR is much more usable as a v1.0 device.
@Pagemakers: I understand your frustration/dissapointment, but posting the same thing on every different thread in the MTeoR forum is not nice. Are you certain that your phone is OK? I have a MTeoR working with 3G Cosmote network and it works fine, no loss of settings whatsoever (I also have an 1GB microSD card in it, working fine). Plus, I get 3 full days AT LEAST on each battery charge (UMTS coverage all the time).
Try to send your phone for a service check or exchange it (might be a case of bad production series - happened to me with a Nokia N93).
