TMobile MDAIII in UK...ROM

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 :?

Try wiki Blueangle section:
its at the top left of your screen
or

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.

guys i need t-mobile mda3 rom is any one can uploud for all the xda user pls

T-Mobile 1.31WWE new ROM available?

Is T-Mobile 1.31WWE new ROM available?
I am not a techie, please help:
Using GetDeviceData.exe (wiki tools) I see (from DeviceData.txt):
PH20B 0 B WWE E T-MOB101 1.12.00 0 0 1.22.168 1.00.00 00.00
My extROM seems to be Italian, I need the English One as well.
2.
If T-mobile new ROM is not available yet, is there a way to install from Asian O2 (available and downloadable)? I ALWASY GET COUNTRY ID ERROR
Thanks and waiting
saulo866

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:

and everyone else

IF THIS WEBSITE EVER HELPED YOU OUT OF A BIND, DONATE!

So now
maybe i didn't use the 162.

Have fun, I give up

just donated 18 euros ($ 25 dollars -- thank you Mr. Bush for screwing up our US Currency).
if i had more, i'd give more---would you all consider $18 euros enough?
hence, my 1 DONATION STAR YEEEEE

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

Looking for ROM for Verizon issued XV6600 BA

I've been reading here for a couple of hours now - and looking at the ftp site and wiki - yet I'm still not sure what I need. I'm looking to update my Verizon (US) issued BA that is running ROM 1.36 WWE, Radio HA01_151 (not sure how to translate that), Ext ROM 1.36.117, and BT build 3500.
I'd like to update everything I can, I had a single update package at one point but now can't seem to find it anyplace.
Can someone tell me if there is a WWE package that will work here in the US with Verizon that is up to date?
Thanks in advance!

Latest AKU T-Mobile UK
I am clueless in ROMs and stuff; However I have an MDAcII, wanted to check if it was up to date ROM wise (its got the 2nd version of T-Mobiles ROM on it) and I noticed today that on T-Mobile UK website they offer this for updating ROM:
RUU_Charmer_38221_382116_026921_TMO_UK_WWE_Ship.exe
(this is on :
http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/dm_compact2_sw.html)
This doesnt line up with the Wiki entry for Charmer's latest official ROM which is shown as being:
June 2006 - WWE AKU2 - T-mobile UK. RUU_Charmer_2060227_20602110_021921_T-MobileUK_Ship and which is thwe one on my MDA at present
Can anyone who knows tell me if this latest official ROM update is equivalent of AKU3? I googled for the new file name as shown above and nothing came up...
Thanks in advance...

I have just used Lockwiz3 (after trying all the others ha haha)
And now my T-mobile (UK) MDA Compact II is able to use a vodaphone SIM
THANKS TO All WHO MADE THIS POSSIBLE

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.

I know you are looking for a rom.. All the roms have been removed..
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
thanks to xplode
