I'm new round here, but just received a T Mobile update. The file is MDA3_TMUK_v106160_SHIP0307.exe I've put it in the root of the ftp server, since wasn't allowed to put it in a more appropriate place. Hope that's OK.
BTW it does seem to have improved my audio quality, which was the reason I asked for it. It didn't come with release notes, so I don't know what else is included.
Strangely, although the updater worked, and as I say it has fixed my problem, when I look at device info it still shows ExtROM 1.06.117 WWE.
What have I misunderstood?
I think this is only an update to give Blackberry access.
Okay guys,
So you know the next question... can anybody extract the blackberry app so I can try it on my XDAiis as the other ones don't generate a PIN!
yes please, same for me. I would love to have the UK blackberry application.
thanks in advance for anybody who can remove the BB application out of this ROM update.

T-Mobile UK Official Rom Update
I have just received this update as well.
Can one of the technical wizards on the site (such as MDAIII user) have a look at what is in the extended ROM, as well as Blackberry.
T-Mobile say that they have included a number of other patches for bluetooth etc. Could someone list exactly what has been changed over the base ROM.
After buying my device nearly 6 months ago and waiting this long whilst all my O2 and Imate cousins have had lots of upgrades to the radio and base rom, I am deeply unimpressed. :evil:
Thank you in advance for any assistance.
J
Same Here!
Hey all,
Well Jason, I feel exactly the same way. :roll: Been long waiting any updates and hopefully this update solves some of the following problems. Just doing a Full Backup, before update is applied! I will reply when installed with any updates to software revisions for bluetooth/rom/extended rom/etc.
*Such as Bluetooth dropping its connection from Weak to Good continuously when connected to me Jabra BT200.
*Another problem is that when firstly I soft reset the device it hangs whilst booting on the second T-Mobile screen, and have to soft reset the device 2/3 times rapidly before it boots properly. This can be a problem if its hung and you urgently need to make a phone call.
Anyone else having these problems?
Apart from that everything else seems to be in working order.

I downloaded the upgrade and ran it agaist the new tool.
This seems to be a 3 version of the encription as the tool will not open the file.
unless somebody posts the cabs ( In a subdir of the root of the ftp site) I can't look at them.
As per my above post shows I was just about to update my phone but no-one said it would lock my networks!.....I just didn't think of that!
Well I've just installed it and it has Locked the networks. It was unlocked to all networks, and not anymore.
Looks like I'll have to pay again to unlock it! Unless someone can help me unlock my MDA III!?!?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rom Version: 1.06.00 ENG (No change)
Rom Date: 08/05/04 (No change)
Radio Version: 1.00.00 (No change)
Protocol Version: 1337.30 (No change)
EXTROM Version: 1.06.160 ENG (Wasn't displayed before update on phone)
Bluetooth: Build 3500 (Was Build 1900)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So overall probably just a Bluetooth Update/Blackberry support and Video MMS. Not a great update, probably not worth the update considering I can only use my T-Mobile Sim for now!!!
Well MDAIIIUser what cabs do ya need? I'll try!.....Copy them of my Phone or PC??....& need to know where to find them??
Sunny D
Did I understand what you wrote
you had a phone that was sim locked
you had it unlocked so that you can use any sim
you ran the above upgrade on your unlocked device
now you have a locked device and you can't use any sim that you like but have to use a t.mobile sim
Well that is what I understood
As for the cabs
They are in the extnded_rom folder that is hidden
you need to download the tool, check wiki for the link (if its still around)
Zip the file, and uploaded it
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_ERK_Tools
ta
If you paid T-Mobile to unlock your MDA they should unlock it again for you without charge.
Anyone managed to get the Blackberry CAB out yet?
MDA III UK Upgrade Didn't relock my phone
I have tested out my phone after the upgrade and I am pleased to advise that it is still totally unlocked.
T-Mobile unlocked the original ROM for me for the £15 charge and the phone has stayed unlocked even after the upgrade (just as well!).
SunnyD - thank you for your work in helping to analyse what is new in the extended ROM.
Hi guys. Never posted before but been around.
Was once able to access the ftp but lately I get a permission denied message. Anyone got any advice on how to overcome this?
Found the ext rom 1.06.160 ENG on ftp site and linked it to wiki, Thanks sunnyd24.
Will cook it and post in wiki as well as update this thread.
The file you are looking for is:
htc_pocketpc_tmo_england_2.0.0.25-18.cab
The rest of the rom seems the same (looked at it for 30 secs)
Managed to access the ftp in the end. Was being stupid really... :?
Posted this ship.exe in wiki
Moved it from root to the correct folder

Files to Examine......or Use!!
Hello all,
Not a problem Jason, we are all here to help each other. Well I just tried another sim (old O2 & Orange) after the success you had, & guess what It is unlocked!!!!
I've got a problem with a new O2 sim i'm using. Its new & was working in the phone before the update and kept sim card whilst the update. And now cannot use that sim in the phone for some reason!
Its wierd how an old O2 sim works fine but the new one has problems.
:?: Anyone got any ideas??
Well as for helping everyone with version info for MDAIIIUser I am going to upload the new extended rom files to the FTP Site (and attatched below as a Rar). Hope it helps everyone!
Well all for now,
Regards,
Sunny D

Both the ship and exteneded rom for the 1.06.160 have been posted in wiki (as per the posts that i wrote before) Think the only file you need to attach is the one for BB (as ...)
Dear friendly XDA-Developer,
Three days back, I tried to upgrade my ASIA IIs radio from 1.02 to 1.12. It all went smoothly, but however, my IIs had been without signal and all it says is No Service. I've tried to search through the forums, but to no avail. Kindly please help... I'm at my wits end.
Thank you all!!!
Not sure were or what files you used, if they were type I or II, so I would just sugesst that you Reflash using the files of wiki.
Hi, thanks! I practically tried all the other radio roms for BA thats available on the ftp://xda-developers, but all give same results... Is it something to do with the radio rom or my phone?
You can't try all roms of the download site for they wont work unless you know what you are doing, (correct rom type ect).
Just make your life easy and go over wiki, download, read and install, its worked for many before you.
Read below this
Dear MDAIIIUser,
Like what you've said, I've read through the wiki BA guide, over and over again. I've followed throught the tutorial carefully and still, it didn't solve my problem.
I've some queries here:-
Firstly, if I use an incompatible radio version, would it affect my XDA IIs? I mean, I've successfully upgraded my CE Rom to 1.40 WWE previously and it worked flawless with cooked 1.40 Ext Rom, however, the moment I upgraded my radio rom, my phone feature cannot be utilised. It just says No Service. I've seen on the forum Asian users using Qtec 1.08 radio rom.
Secondly, my understanding on the Oper and WWE is that by setting them correctly with XDA3tools, I can then upgrade them to my XDA without facing any country code errors or such. But would it affect my XDA functionality?
Lastly, can you make any recommendations on which is the most appropriate CE/Radio ROM version I should use for my XDA IIs based on WWE & O2ASI001?
THanks a millions! Believe me, I've really tried very hard to get my IIs to work and have throughly read through the guide, but to no avail...
I recommend that you just download a FULL, fresh, 1.40 Shipped EXE (I recommend the I-Mate one) and upgrade with it.
Use the first method described here to upgrade.
Dear TheLastOne,
I'll try that now! I'll post the results after that.
Thanks a millions!
I've successfully flashed my XDA IIs with I-Mate shipped exe. All went smoothly, but the same problem persist. No service. I guess I can pronounce my IIs official dead... Sob Sob
khngaroo
Could it be that your device is sim locked or that your sim card is no good?
Dear MDAIIIUser,
I believe that my SIM is not locked as I can make calls using the same SIM with another phone. When I insert my SIM card into my XDA, there wasn't any prompt or indication of my device being locked... Is there another way to verify that?
Thanks!

Hi KHNGAROO... I am not an expers as TLO and MDAUser..but you can give a try downloading the 1.10 radio and downgrading your 1.40 istallation thet contains 1.12 radio to 1.10... I experienced a lot of problems on my device ( low signal or no signal) with the 1.40+1.12 radio combination..and I solved with hios trick..Dont know if can work for you..but maybe you can try..byez
khngaroo
The fact that you have no service would or could indercate that it is beining rejected by your network operator.
Alas, I have no Idea what message you get when a BA is locked to a sim.
(as in the provider has SIM locked your device so that you can only use it with that sim on his network).
The fact that you can use your sim in a different phone proves that the sim is not faulty however that does not verify if the Phone is sim locked.
Thus can you insert a sim from another device that you know that works into your BA and use it.
I have no idea what you had on the phone before you upgraded it nor if it worked, nor if you have also changed your sim so its just a bit hard to work out your probem.
At the moment it could be a locked device or a faulty instaltion of the radio rom.
You might have to go back to your Shipped version to verify if the device still works.
Then upgrade the OS only and check again
Then cook the Extromn to make sure you are not downgrading anything with the new 1.40 OS
Then upgrade the radio to a higher version 1.10 to verify if it works
The upgrade to 1.12 to prove or disprove vicer's very good suggestion.
Have fun
Be careful with the files that you use as you can't use Type I upgrade files to upgrade a Type II rom. Thus you will need to always download the files based on wiki and not reuse the old ones.
Dear MDAIIIUser,
I've flashed my original shipped asian rom back to my device. Got the SD bootable from my pal holding the same phone. Didn't work, still says No Service. I guess either my device is locked or the hardware is screwed.
Is there anything I can do to unlock my SIM on my XDA, should it be my XDA being locked. Or do I really have to bring it down to the service center to get the whole thing fixed?
Thanks a millions for all your help... Appreciated...
You still have not asnswerd the question of the sim. So I still dont know if it is the original sim or if you are using another on on a locked device.
So based on what I do know:
If you flashed the original Rom and have the correct sim and it does not work then your device needs to be sent back to the shop (which will be no problem as you have the original rom in it).
Wiki has a how to unlock (but like I said I dont know if that is your problem)
To all whom had helped me along the way (esp. MDAIIIUser & TheLastOne & vicer)
Brought my XDA IIs to Accord Dist and got it fixed. Now its back. I was told by the customer service operator that they had replaced the whole mainboard altogether. They didn't tell me what was the exact problem. Guess it was the hardware all along. But I was wondering, how on earth can flashing a ROM cause so much damage?
Therefore, here is a warning to those who wish to flash their XDAs, please do so only f you know what exactly you are doing. Please read wiki carefully before you try anything, or you might end up just like me, hee...
Well glad you solved your problem. There are a lot and I mean a lot of people that have been able to falsh thier device via this forum. But as you said you need to read and understand what you are doing.
So what rom do you have now and are you going to keep it?
(Not sure based on your sig)
Dear MDAIIIUser,
Weel, I've upgraded my CE rom to 1.40. However, I've decided to maintain my radio rom as it is (1.02), its kinda like once bitten twice shy. Quite sceptical that my IIs might end up in heaps again, lol.
Thanks again for all your help and concern.
khngaroo, I'm glad all your problems have been fixed. If it is indeed a hardware problem, then you should not hesitate to upgrade your rom.
(Besides, if the problem returns, you know they'll fix it )

Dear TheLastOne,
I took your word for it and gave it another shot! Followed all the instructions found at WIKI and presto, it worked and now my IIs is running on 1.40 CE and 1.12 Radio.
Many, many, thanks to all of you who had helped along the way!
khngaroo
Great, Happy for you.
The 1.40 rom has a few issues that can be found on the wiki Upgrade page that you need to be aware of.
Hello guys!
I got my MDA Vario last week, and I am very much impressed with it!
I got the MDA Vario brand new without a contract and my intention is to use it with one of those O2 Genie PAYG SIM cards. So.... after much reading this excellent forum I figured out that I would need to unlock the SIMlock on the Vario. Got hold of the Lokiwiz utility, followed the advice on these forums, and tested it with the Orange SIM in my regular phone, and hey presto.... MY PY PHONE IS UNLOCKED!
Next step - to remove all T-Mobile customisations. Again, I had a simple bit of advice from one of you good folk - hard reset, then soft reset when the phone starts to install customisations and now all the pink girlie stuff has gone! Only reminant of T-Mobile left on the phone is the logo on the phone dial keypad.
My thoughts are now with upgrading the ROM. T-Mobile have been very slow with updating their ROM package -a new one is apparently due very soon. Now.... in preparation of installing a new ROM, Ive CID unlocked my phone. I would really like to know which ROM I should upgrade to - there are so many out there! As the phone has been CID & Sim Unlocked, does the phone remained unlocked irrespective of what ROM I install? Can I install a T-Mobile ROM after changing it to another?
As I intend to mostly use an O2 PAYG SIM in it, would it be better to use a new 02 update? If so, which one? Or do I go for another ROM? All very confusing! Finally, Ive heard that I cannot browse the net via GPRS on an 02 PAYG SIM. Is that true? Do I need to flash an ExtROM too?
I know Im asking a lot here and am being a bit of a pain in the backside, but I would really appreciate any and as much advice as possible as I realy dont want to end up with a dead phone! Many thanks in advance!
Hi, yes you could wait for the new rom and i am a believer in sticking with your manufacturer roms because many of the posts here seem to people experimenting with different roms and it all going wrong - lol.
But if you do upgrade proberly the commonest choice is the aku2 qtek rom that i use
download here ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wi...digy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
and the o2 aku2rom not a bad idea too, but without the o2 extras.
Yes you could then upgrade to the t-mobile rom then but often you need to unlock again with lockiwiz 0.3a.
PAYG o2 will browse internet but msn etc.. does not work.
btw yes you are a pain in the arse but then most people here are!! :lol:
Cheers Mark! Nice to have some basic advice - very reassuring for a thicko newbie like me!
Well... I couldnt wait for the new T-Mobile ROM and went ahead with the upgrade with the Qtek upgrade you suggested.
Was a little tricky at first because the upgrade wouldnt happen (port failing to open) but I had a few programs running in the background on my desktop PC and shut them all down so that I had a `Clean` PC. The upgrade process was then as smooth as a babys bottom.
MDA Vario is running really well - well worth the upgrade IMO. Everything seems quicker and generally better. Only problem I have is with wifi - it seems to take ages to make a connection with my PC (ad-hoc peer to peer) whereas on the original T-Mob ROM it was very quick. Any ideas here?
I read that you say I would need Lokiwiz 0.3a to install the AKU2 T-Mob ROM when it is eventually released. I was under the impression that once the PDA was unlocked (lokiwiz 0.2b) I wouldnt need to unlock it again. Is it different with the very latest T-Mob ROM? Can I not revert (downgrade) to the original T-Mob and then upgrade to the new T-Mob ROM? Ive not heard of lokiwiz 0.3a being out yet - would it be as simple as unlocking with lokiwiz 0.2b?
Finally, how on earth do I get the latest 02 ROM? I need to enter my 02 mobile number and IMEI to download it. Do I need lokiwiz 0.3a to install that or any other current ROM?
Cheers for your friendly advice.
Al.
Hi, no problem - glad to help.
Lokiwiz 0.3a is out see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=50768
For some reason when upgrading (in think it renews cid/spl) to aku2 rom seems to lock again - i had to unlock my qtek with above tool.
Yes you can go back to original rom - but if does not work use farias method of unlocking and downgrading rom (post is in this forum)
Most of the roms are in the wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Upgrades
including the o2 roms, but i would refrain from too much chopping and changing because you can destory the bootloader and then has to go back to the manufacturer.
Many reported problems with the wifi setting up - i would read some of the threads in the wizard forum if i was you. First thing to try is tweak wifi on device to wlan g and it may work better.
see registry tweaks here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Upgrades
btw good to hang out in the wizard forum too - you will learn alot of tips from there.
Want to also say thanks from another newebie with T-Mobile MDA. Have unlocked phone and CID and flashed with 2.17 QTEK ROM and all is good.
Thanks !!!
if you want th get rid of the tmobile crap on the face...use a 2p coin and move it downwards...not accross
it takes the tmobile paint etc off without any marks..
Jesus sbouri that logo was killing me, brilliant tip, nice one mate!!!
hi
i just got my mda vario and manage to unlocked the phone with lokiwiz03. i know my phone is now sim unlocked, but how do i check if it is cid unlock as well?
i am eager to flash the rom with the qtek version but i have no idea how to do it.
i know i must have my phone cid unlock in order to install a different rom, so do i just download the latest qtek rom, connect my device to usb and activesync it, and then just run the RUU?
i am really noob here.
cheers.
Hi mate if i was you i would use MR CLEANS ROM i flashed with that and its excellent, tottaly clean with no tmobile crap and i didnt do anything with the cid so dont worry.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Wizard/ROMS/MrClean_RUU_WIZARD_224_AKU23_WWE.zip
Just download this and run follow instructions, real easy. Good luck mate.
thanks for the advice...i took a bold move and flash it with a qtek rom. works like a charm. before that i did cid unlock using lokiwiz02a, not lokiwiz03.
i will take a look at mr.clean rom at a later stage.
i notice that my imei number is different from the one in my box. does flashing the rom change it?
now my next task would be update to a better radio rom and check out the extension rom.
cheers.

Hi there, I'm about to flash my UK MDA Vario too.
I'm not sure to use the Mr clean one or the Qtek 2.17 version.
Before I do anything, which is better of the two?
Also, what settings to I need backed up? I have my txt msg service numbers, as well as voicemail. And all of my MMS & GPRS settings.
Am I to assume that all I have to do is input the settings into the device once it's been flashed?
Thanks

The mr clean rom is a more advanced rom and has no extras. The qtek official rom is probably a safer install because its an official rom and many good reports of success and users pleased with the outcome.
Yes when you have flashed just input all those settings again.
Plus you can backup your voice tag database between hard resets by copying the file CommandModel1.bin found under the windows folder to your pc or to the memory card. After rom upgrade copy it back to your windows folder and all your voice tags are back!
Create backup of windows\start menu - most programs that are on the storage card dont need a reinstall.
Create copy of pim.vol in the root directory of the device - contains contact and appt information. After flash change the new pim.vol to pim.vo and copy and paste old pim.vol (use total commander or gsfinder file explorers for this) and soft reset and you will have info back.
Create backup of windows\favorites - for all your internet favorites.
That will make restore a bit quicker than otherwise.
Cheers for the info. I was actually thinking of trying the Mr. Clean one first, is there anything missing from this one, or is it just less stable?
Mr clean is just a clean rom without any of the manufacturers addons. It will probably run very well - its the flashing process with it that may not be as safe as an original rom and may possibly destroy your bootloader etc.. so you have a brick phone. I would always go for the safest option and would not suggest chopping and changing roms. Read the many users stories where everything goes wrong and the forum needs to help them out.

True, I didn't think about that. Thanks again.
Ive been using Mr clean rom for 1 week now and its excellent from my experience. Its tottaly clean and runs so fast!
By clean i mean it has no customizations as you will find on official roms. It flashed just like any other rom too. Easy as pie. Just my info as people would like to know.
I've just upped to the QTEK ROM, and I've a couple of problems, nothing too serious though I don't think?
Firstly, when making my GRPS connection - I can't seem to find anywhere to input the WAP Proxy settings?
Edit, sorted this one now
Secondly, when settinp up my MMS - I can't select connect via Picture Message in the settings, it's not there?
I'm guessing this is some other connection I have to make up?
Any idea guys?

I cant find what you say under settings - what does it do?
Never mind ignore me, that'll teach me not to read T-Mobile's site correctly
I have an unlocked Cingluar/Siemens BA that I have been using with Tmobile. I am not confident enough to update the ROM on my own through the info on this and other sites.
On Tmobile's website, if I choose the MDA as my phone I can download their latest ROM version of Windows Mobile 2003 (2.26.10.2). I currently have ROM version 1.32.10 WWE, so I am assuming this is an upgrade for me. Will this work if I try to do it on my SX66 or simply destroy it? I mean they are both running Windows Mobile right?? Again, Im not to keen on this stuff. Any info will help, thanks!
If you use standard, operator-provided upgrades, exectuable checks your hardware and will refuse to install on not supported device. But upgrade will be refused even in situation, when you have Qtek 9090 and try to upgrade with t-mobile MDAIII ROM even though those are identical devices and ROMs are 100% compatible.
SO: if you try to use not modified, original ROM, there is no big risk of failure, but also there is little chance of upgrading, until you upgrade exactly the same device, as was sold by the operator.
I propose you to read Wiki - you will find a lot of information and you will be able to rethink about upgrading to WM5.
One more thing... MDA's are Wizards, and SX66 are BlueAngels...
Totally different phones. The ROM will most likely break your phone. Check for the latest WM5 ROM in this forum for upgrade.
i realize the MDA is a wizard, but I figured since they are running the same software it might work. With that being said I guess you have answered my question. I guess I'll take my time and try to follow the info on this site and WIKI one more time. Thanks for the info.
T-Mobile MDA III is a BlueAngel.
Hi there, I've just received a "new" HTC Trinity from Vodafone Portugal and I've some doubts regarding it. The ROM version is pretty old (1.15.410.2) and I was wondering through the HTC support and they have a new generic ROM (portuguese ROM) with GPS enabled and other improvements.
So the risk of upgrading to this new ROM is practically null (is it?) since it is a ROM provided by the vendor, and afterwards I will have the GPS working, but the SIM will remain locked.
Then I can run the batch file provided by pof to unlock the ppc, and there it is : a GPS enabled Trinity that I can use in PT and UK.
Well, is this so linear or am I missing something?
thanks,
and cheers
mouro
download rom removes sim lock?!
if downloading the new rom resets all the settings from the vodafone operator, shouldn't also remove the SIM lock?
well, this might appear a dumb question but it make sense (at least to me )
thanks
1)
If your phone is a Vodaphone, and you install a HTC generic ROM on it, you may lose the benefit of your Vodaphone warranty.
But since your ROM version is so old, I guess it's a second hand phone, not a new one, so your Warranty period has probably already expired.
In this case, you have nothing to lose.
2)
Flashing a new ROM on your phone doesn't make it a sim unlocked phone.
Besides, if there is SPL/IPL on that so called generic HTC ROM, you may not be able to flash it onto your phone, unless you CID unlock it.
Hard SPL is a wise option, search on the forum, you'll find everything for SIM and CID unlock.
Thanks for the reply.
I've already seen how to unlock the SIM/CID.
I'm gonna try the upgrade to Hard-SPL. If I'm successful then i can change to a recent cooked ROM.
thanks,
i'll let you know if I bricked my ppc
hope not!
cheers
Well I've managed to update the bootloader to SPL 1.20 and the Radio ROM. Now I can see the radio version on the settings panel.
These tools are really something, I didn't have any problem flashing the ROM !!!
Next step is to upgrade to a new ROM, but :
1) Can I use any ROM available (independently of the CID)?
2) Are there any cooked ROMs with GPS software?
3) Is the WM6 a must have, or is it more or less like WM5 with some extra eye
candy and extra overhead ?
4) Can I SIM unlock the phone with the pof tool with the SPL bootloader?
Thanks for the help!
regards,
mouro
Hi Mouro
I also have a P3600 in Portugal. In the begining I also installed the htc rom from vodafone to enable gps.
I think you have to unlock the phone cid (instal super cid) in order to be possible the installationn of any coocked rom.
I´m sure that all the coocked roms have gps enabled.
WM6 has some advantages, especially the htc task manager and maybe a bit more speed... but I think the advantages are not that much when compared with WM5. Anyway, it´s the latest version and we always consider that important...
Yes, you can use the tools provided by pof to unlock the phone.
Mine is working fine and very stable.
Nothing to complaint about.
Best regards
hey nj05
thanks for your reply
I think I'm gonna give it a try.
before installing the HARD SPL I was a little scared because after all, this is an expensive toy but now after seeing all the positive feedback I'm gonna give it a try.
Tomorrow I'll post here the results.
best regards
cheers
mouro
all rigth baby
well,
finally I have my ppc unblocked with an original ROM from HTC with everything running smooth!!!
Thanks to everybody!
