I've read the Getting Started section but im still stuck!! - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

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!!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.

Help with upgrading MDA III

Trying to upgrade my BlueAngel with:
PDA2k_WWE_12200_162_10600_SHIP.exe
my devicedata.txt contains only 1 word
PH20B
What should I put in the bat file?
My device is a Croatian T-Mobile MDA III with an ENGLISH ROM
ROM version: 1.06.00 ENG
ROM date: 08/05/04
Radio version 1.02.00
Protocol version: 1337.32
ExtROM version 1.06.132 WWE
TIA
copy devicedata.txt to PC before opening it. Just showing one word is probably because it contains x'00'
I had the same thing. I just ran the update without the bat file stuff. Runs fine
Thanks M4io

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?

T-Mobile MDA III ROM over SPV2000???

Hi,
I have recently upgraded my SPV M2000 to the M5000 and have donated (for a small sum), my old M2000 to my mother-in-law.
I was wondering, if I could flash the orange branded phone as it is with a t-mobile or generic flash.
I have a few reasons for this, mainly the orange software that is bundled is causing all sorts of problems with T-mobile, and also, that each time you reset the phone, it loads them all back on!
The current information on the device is;
Operator Version : 5.31.1.124
ROM Version : 1.31.00 WWE
ROM Date : 12/13/04
Radio Version : 1.06.02
Protocol Version : 1337.38
ExtROM Version : 1.31.124 WWE
Thanks in advance.
Hi
You need to spend some time in wiki and the ext rom kitchen to understand the branding (its the EXT rom that has all of that).
So if you dont wont to reload everything when you hard reset then you need to flush the ext rom or only have what you need in it. We call it cooking.
Link is in my sig
