Over on Modaco MrOrange has posted that the M2000 he has just got has the following ROM details:
Operator version 5.31.1.124
ROM Version 1.31.00 WWE
ROM Date 12/13/04
Radio Version 1.06.02
Protocol 1337.38
ExtROM Version 1.31.124 WWE
Anyone out there who has this version could they upload the contents of the Ext ROM??
I got that fw on my new one.. .
not sussed out how to mess with the rom yet.. im more a p900 man!
I am ringing Orange right now to get mine replaced under warranty!
Will let you know what happens....
They said they will replace it!!
Why don't you just wait for an Orange ROM update? Or wait till someone posts theirs on here?
I used to swap my phones under the insurance but now the following things have happened.
1. I'm a little older & wiser.
2. Orange charge admin fee for each claim.
3. If its like what happened to me, the courier doesn't show up and u get a courier failed delivery fee!
4. Chances are next week the Rom update will be on the Orange site.
and the most important one
5. It's fraud.
I could understand your point if my phone was more than a month old. But it is only two weeks old! It was replaced through faulty key pad before.
Also it saves me having to do the upgrades if they are done already.
Just cause they are replacing it does not mean that it will come with the new ROM anyway!!
Well yeah thats true I suppose,
Must admit I got my M2000 and 2 days later the keyboard was loose, I rang them up a few days later and got a brand new replacement, the replacement lasted for approximately 12 hours before the phone part buggered up (knowing what I know now, the radio rom was corrupted), then I got this one about the 8th December and its a good un...
I think if you are at the end of your contract and intend replacing your phone, its always nice to have a brand new replacement old phone to sell on ebay :lol: not my fault if the display goes off a week before you upgrade it eh?
Ive got the new version.
Turned up at 10.15pm this evening, has all the new ROM, BT, so I am pleased with it.
Have not tested it to see if everything works yet, but so far so good.
Sorry that was me posted as guest!! what a plank, didnt sign in!
How to i make an image for you guys then?
Well, what we could do with is the extended rom to start with. Best way to get at this is to do the following.
1. Download the Extended Rom Unlocker, copy to your PDA and install.
2. Then from Programs/Extrom Tools, run unhide. Then soft reset. You should now be able to see the 'Extended_ROM' folder in the route of 'My Device'.
3. Copy the contents of this folder to your PC and ZIP or RAR them together. Name the file Orange_UK_SPVM2000_Ext_ROM_131124.
4. Post to the Extended Rom folder on the BlueAngel FTP site.
Then post us here to let us know the job is done.
Thanks in advance.
It appears that some people have been sent out with the 1.12.00 Rom, so it seems like Orange are shipping out old refurb stock or they really did have some left of the old batch.
More reasons to post the new Rom on here! Hint Hint!
Ok going to try it now
Blackhorse you're a star! Upgraded parts of you 1.31 rom with parts of my own cooked 1.22.557 rom now my M2000 has the most up-to-date files on.
I have made a copy of the new Ext Rom but cannot remember how to upload it to the FTP site!!
If you could remind me I will do it ASAP.

Zip or rar your extended rom files. Now Right click on the newly created zip/rar file. Right click-->Copy.
Go to ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/Extended_Roms and right click-->Paste
That should do the trick

Hi,
Can I use this ROM on my (Swedish) Qtek9090, or is that looking for trouble?
With an upgrade I hope to be relieved from a very annoying bug in my current version (every once in a while the speaker from the phone is dead when I call or are being called; a soft reset "cures" that).
Hope anyone can tell me if it is (reasonably) save to upgrade with this new ROM.
thanks
You could potentially use the 1.31 ROM on your Qtek assuming that you want a English install. I wouldn't recommend using the 1.31.124 Extended Rom discussed here, since that is in the most part Orange UK's customisations, and not of much use to someone from Sweden.
I have had the same problem with the speaker on my phone, on ROM 1.22, Radio 1.06.02. Since I've only just upgrade to ROM 1.31 I can't tell if the problem is fixed.
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... :?

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,

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.
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.
Firstly...I'm with 3 in Australia
Ok, bought a TYTN II off ebay some months ago now from a Hong Kong dealer (that'll learn me) and it seems to not work with the 3G network here in Australia. The phone is always EDGE roaming and whenever it switches to 3G I can't send or receive SMS messages.
I've done some reading around and found that maybe I need to flash the ROM of the phone to an Australian one so that the phone will work properly. I found a thread on Whirlpool and someone there posted a link to this ROM for another user:
www.mediafire.com/?0jt1cwyx61g
Is that the ROM I want? If so, how do I go about flashing my phone with this ROM to make it work?
Can anyone help me??
You're more than likely having issues with the radio that came with the phone. Go to the ROM development forum, read how to unlock, install HardSPL, etc.. and then choose either one of the ROMs that come with a new radio available: NATF, Hyperdragon, Dutty's, etc... or look at one of the threads that show how to install a new radio. I'm not going to make any ROM recommendations, because it's really a matter of personal taste and how the ROM feels to you. For me personally, I've settled on T.i.R vk8 WWE build 19971. And I have radio version 1.58.25.17.
Hey dude,
congrats on the kick-ass new phone.
To help you with your prob, you'll have to signup and login to HTC E-Club for Australia, then download and flash the latest 3 ROM. Its the only way to ensure you have the correct inbuilt three network settings, there was a cab floating around a while back but it didn't include planet3 connectivity - only mobile internet.
look for this one :
HTC TyTN II WM6.1 ROM code for Hutchison ‘3’ Network customers
ROM version: 3.29.861.0
ROM date: 05/15/08
Radio version: 1.65.16.25
Protocol version: 25.83.40.02H
Date: 2008-06-02 Category: ROM Upgrade
I found the ROM development page and the list of radios that relate to the specific ROM's match the ones I already have (note: I already flashed my phone using the one in the link I provided in my first post).
I went and registered for HTC E-Club and went to download the WM6.1 ROM u mentioned Sanchez and when I entered the Serial Number it says the ROM is unsuitable for my phone. Is this because it is NOT an Australian phone?
Would this ROM actually work on my phone and would I be able to get a copy of it from somewhere else?
yeah, its not the actual ROM so much as the stuff Three bundle within that you need.
I'm aka Dr.Nerdlinger on whirlpool, a guy I recommended this to didn't have any problems, seemed to make his US Tilt into an Aussie Three TyTnII.. Havent tried it myself as Im already three branded.

Damn! Sorry...
The ROM I posted the link to doesn't ask me for a "serial" when I've flashed it..
I assume you have run the Connection Setup wizard (Settings > Connections > Connection Setup?
Have you tried to manually enter 3's settings?
Perhaps flash the latest Hyperdragon III http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397121
It has a suitable radio for Australia and I flashed this recently on a TyTn II purchased in Malaysia and all worked fine (as did the ROM I referred to earlier)
Ok but to flash to that (being a cooked ROM) dont I have to do something before I can flash to that? Is it HardSPL I have to install or something like that?
Yes... Unlock and flash a hard spl...
It is quite easy
Excellent directions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356895
I am in no way an expert with these devices but I have had no problem that hasn't been quickly resolved.
perhaps unlocking the phone may resolve your problem with flashing the 3 shipped ROM.... (again, no expert here)
Ok seems this is not gonna work. I've done some reading and apparently the board it to blame for my phone not working properly. Since it was an eBay job (but from a company) I can still get warranty but I have to send overseas to HK.
What do people think, I can buy a new TytnII for $659 and when the old one comes back from warranty I can sell it. Would the new one (if I bought from Australian store) work on 3G?
Unless it's faulty hardware, it shouldn't need a return. Don't spend your cash just yet
Try this new official 3.34.721.2 WWE HTC rom, with 1.70 radio.
Download it, plug your activesync cable in, run the exe file you downloaded - after 20 mins or so, you should have the latest ROM, with built in Aus Three Network detection (assuming you have a legal 3 sim-card)
(ps. it may seem like its stalled while flashing, but just give it time)
Report back if successful
Downloaded and installed last night - doesnt seem to have made any difference

After Flashing a ROM you should always hard reset the device as well. After all this is done, what versions of the following are showing as being installed: ROM, Radio, SPL (can find the last one in the tri colour boot screen - read the wiki if you need to know how to get to the boot screen)? If all of this is showing correctly and you're still having problems then it's probably something like the sim (just any old sim won't do and it needs to be compatible with the phone). You could try another if you have a spare. When you switched it on, after a minute or so did you get a message popping up asking if you wanted to automatically configure the phone for your networks settings?
