How long to flash a Blue Angel? - Cause I think it's stuck!

I've currently followed the instructions for the 1.31 with Arabic and different radio file because that's exactly same original hardware as my UK O2 XDA IIs.
But I've ran the BaUpgradeUt.exe and it confirmed the version changes, but now it doesn't seem to be doing much.
Phone has gone dark and simply says:
USB
v2.06
And the Upgrade program says: Checking the information on the device please wait.
And a warning not to disconnect it.
Erm this is my first flashing so just a little worried I've toasted my new device :-( I can appreciate it takes a while to transfer 30Mb odd over USB, but it hasn't done anything for almost 10 minutes now :-(
Help please? :-(
Thanks!

And I think I've solved my own problem. Everything you need really is in this forum... somewhere
For everyone else who stumbles over this looking for same thing. I simply took battery out for 30 mins (to flatten backup I assume) and then hard reset it (comes up with serial v2.06 at point you unplug from cradle) and then restarted PC and re-ran update program and SEEMS to be going okay at the moment!

Hi,
I have the O2 XDA IIs just like you too but still with the original ROM. You can get a copy of the original ROM from O2 now off their myxda uk site if there are any problems.
Have you got a step by step guide of how you upgraded to 1.31?
Cheers

Hi,
Take a look at the Wiki site. It has all the info on there. I'm now running a 1.31 main ROM (was originally 1.12), a 1.06.02 radio (originally 1.02 I think) and an extended ROM that is hacked up from Orange's (the network I'm actually on!) as well as my own choice of programs etc. Wiki has all the info! It rocks! Thanks to the guys (and gals?) who write it!

Debranded MDA Compact II ROM, 'Qtek' Style

now obsolete
new aku2 here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279908

so am i right in presuming that the gprs settings and phone settings are present in the rom? if not, how do we find them?
ALSO:
T-Mobile are releasing a rom update this month (ie this coming week!) so it might be worth looking at what they have done, not just for wifi fix but any other maintenence changes. Apparently they do alot of testing on their roms so there might be useful stuff there.

t-mobile gprs and wap settings are part of the extended rom. the 3 cabs files that begin CAB-Customization-...
i didnt include them as i'm on O2. This is more like a 'Qtek' version for the charmer, a universal version. doesnt include any operator specfic content.
looking forward to that update, hopefully its aku2, everyone else is releasing theres at the moment.

SDIO
What about SDIO drivers in this debranded OS?

so if i back up my current rom cabs and then install this, if it all goes pearshaped, i can relaod the origional and not end up with an expensive paperweight?
i wanna do the deed, but am scared as hell with it being my first PPC and only a few weeks old at that.
but anything to speed it up, its like im running windows or something.......
oh!
:wink:

only way you could mess up is if you pull the plug or have a power cut! while uploading the new os. remember to backup all your contacts and stuff as you'll need to hard reset.
you can start all over again if it doesnt boot or something by using the install package on the t-mobile site
http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/download_manager_mda_com2.html
just go into the phones bootloader, with the phone off, hold down camera and plug in the sync cable until the 3 color boot screen comes up and run the install package to go back to factory.

It worked!!
Dear dave106 and all;
i tried your fantastic upgrade yesterday. This was my experience:
1- I works like charm!
2- you might find it easier to use Total commander to uncheck 'system' and 'read-only' in the properties of the windows folder on your charmer, before Unlocking CID (to avoid any error).
3- alternatively you might use Lockiwiz 2b from this forum to unlock and unlock CID first.
4- the ROM upgrade went fine, showed some error messages on the charmer screen (nothing to worry about) but did not indicate an end. I unplugged it after 20 minutes. It rebooted on itself et voila, it was up and running.
5- Changing the boot scrren went very smoothly.
6- I noted that the T-mobile customization (after the new config.txt) did not install at all. I had to manually install the CAB listed in the config.txt file to reload the MMS and GPRS settings.
But now my charmer has no T-mobile crap on it...
However, i did not notice any dramatic change in speed....

Ill check your unbraded rom for wifi sdio capabilities over the next few days (on a 'just in case' basis). I'm just recovering from a totally borked pagefile on my main pc so ive been too busy to try as of yet.

is this howto working on that device ?

thats a wizard, so you can just cid unlock it and install the imate or qtek wizard roms. the mda compact 2 is unique to t-mobile no other operator has it.

aeh....your sentence sounds strange to me, is it possible for my device or not ?

Got the Rom Working, the difference is quite noticable. Re wrote the extended ROM to auto customise just enough to get the MMS and GPRS to work correctly. Did any one work out if a WiFi card SD card will now work?
Would like to know before i buy one!

T-Mobile USA 2.21 Custom ROM (HTC Wizard/MDA)

Keep in mind that flashing to a nonofficial rom voids your warranty. I am in no way responsible for any issues you may come across when attempting to update your rom. Please keep your questions about this rom in this thread, various users including myself can help you if needed. Please do not pm me with general questions about this rom or the mda, they would be better answered in the thread.
[ File Name ]
T-Mobile_RUU_Wizard_2210401_221_20710_ENG_US.exe
[ ROM Versions ]
IPL: 2.21
SPL: 2.21
OS: 2.21.4.1
GSM: 2.07.10.
[ Description ]
I was going to wait until the AKU 2.2 update was released before cooking a new rom but I've grown impatient. This is the latest os rom available and while it doesn't add anything new feature wise I have changed some other things around for the better. The first thing I did was update the rom install process to automatically attempt to CID-UNLOCK the device and because of this change I have recompiled all of my current roms with the new installer. The second thing I did was go through ALL of the T-Mobile default customizations and cropped out only what was needed; I also cleaned out all of the other cabs used during the customization process. The third thing was creating a new set of registry tweaks to my liking. In the end, on a fresh boot the device has over 40MB of storage space available and over 25mb of memory free.
If you have issues upgrading to the 2.x roms I would advise downgrading to 1.08 first and then try installing 2.x roms again.

just in case I would install a english ROM (german ones are usually quite late), could I change the keyboard language?
Lars

so what's so special about this ROM? Did they remove the stupid battery meter from where the date/time should be? I already like 2.17 even though the caller id doesn't show up on my BT headset as it did on my old JAM. Was it worth the upgrade?

Thanks for doing this!! I too have become anxious and would like to upgrade. I have been running the last custom rom you cooked and I have been happy with it thus far. However, as of recently I have been having the random phone resetting issue that has been discussed in various other threads.
Does your current custom rom address that issue, as well as put in the stereo BT fix?
Looking forward to doing the upgrade!!

Upgrade working great so far.

Upgrade!
I have a sickness. I have to apply updates when they come available. It is a strange compulsion. Am I alone? I actually love doing it.

I never had this issue but other users are reporting random bug fixes with this OS version so it may help.

Since I don't own a stereo bluetooth headset I didn't include it yet. It can be found on my site though under notused apps. ZokiA2DP.

xelencin - YOU ARE THE MAN ! ! !
thanks again for all the work ... I have been using your 2.17 ROM since the day I got my T-Mobile MDA flawlessly and I just saw you released a new one - I'm going to install it right now.
keep up the good work ...

Keyboard tweaked
Just installed this on a Qtek 9100 and now the keyboard is no longer mapping to what the silk screen on the key says it should be. Looks like there are some differences in key mappings between the MDA and the 9100. I did try switching it from USA English to UK English and then back to see if it was a Regional Setting error and there was no change. It is not huge differences, but large enough that when you are using the keyboard that you have to hunt around with the "alt" button until you find the right key you are looking for. The hyphen key now maps to the underscore when you press the alt key now- stuff like that. Will definitly want to be careful if you intend to install this on a 9100 or Kjam, I think.

Tmobile USA MDA
Hi,
I am new to this and have been reading the msgs on this forum for a few days now. I just got the new MDA they have available in the USA. I just DL :
T-Mobile_RUU_Wizard_2210401_221_20710_ENG_US.exe
I did not install this yet. Still am a bit confused
I know its stated that it will automaticly unlock the CID, but how about the SIM? Will it also unlock the SIM? If so I guess there is nothing else to do, as it will unlock both SIM and CID and then install the new ROM. If not how do I unlock the SIM?
Also another question I have is RING TONES!! tmo only has a handful of ring tones installed. I have some great ring tones that I have on my old phone. I want to transfer them to the MDA, but where would they be saved to on the MDA, and how would I select them?
Thank You in advance for everyones help.
FM

thanks for the new rom. Im a newbie here and i just used the lokowitz to unlock my o2 xda mini s.My question on this new rom is there a special way to run it or should i just copy it onto my mini s and just execute it. I already unlocked it and im using it for tmobile usa, just need to get the tmo rom. please advise.

xelencin, thanks as always.. i downloaded yesterday from here. Have to wait till after plumber comes and goes before i update... :roll:

Adding A2DP AVRCP
Xelecin:
Nice work as usual. I just barely flashed the 2.17. I was using the 2.8 Qtek Test ROM because of the A2DP and AVRCP. Can this be added to your ROM somehow?
Also, is it bad to flash the ROMs a few time?
Thanks in advance.

just dloaded it - and gonna give it a try...
cheers!
:wink:

what is the difference between the rom's you upload to ftp
I have mda vario. I want to upgrade rom but I'm not sure that I know the right rom available. xelencin upload 3 rom to ftp server of xda-developers(ftp://xda-developers.com/Uploads/Wizard/Roms/xelencin/). I don't know what is the difference so I want to learn the correct rom for my mda vario. Thank you

Do the ipl, spl, radio and os all come from O2 UK ROM? (which is the fastest base ROM I have tried).
Many Thanks
Martin

clock and battery still in same place wtf gives?!?

I installed this ROM on my Wizard. The express reason I installed it was because the wi-fi was non-functional for me on the stock T-Mobile firmware. This firmware doesn't seem to work either in the wi-fi department for me. The Wizard detects my wireless network and I'm prompted to enter a key (I use just WEP encryption). I enter the key and it never seems to connect. I have entered the key numerous times to make sure I have it right to no avail. One time it did seem to make a connection with my wireless network but quickly disconnected. There are other devices on my wireless network so I know it's working. My wireless network is just a simple Netgeat 802.11b access point. This is getting really frustrating. I'm running out of idea on what to try and was hoping for some help here.

Hey,
I just flashed my friends MDA with this new firmware with the 2.21 custom and everything went fine except after its done and i rebooted it, i am getting "Data Crashes. Please contact your system provider" and where the start button is, SIMlock is being displayed. Is there something obvious that i have missed or whats going on? I have the MDA too, succesfully installed 2.17 a few weeks ago. Any ideas?

A helping hand needed to upgrade my MDA Vario!

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?

Perfect Timing!
Hi Faria,
Perfect timing to release this new beta rom just for the weekend. I'll be playing around with this ROM the coming weekend.
If you have some time, can you explain why the installation of this ROM has some manual actions like executing am autorun.exe from the My Documents folder.
I'll keep you informed about my results with this ROM.
Kind regards,

Great work. I'll download this rom today and test it.
I'll keep you informed about my results with this ROM and my bluetooth stereo

Just installed the new release. Very cool startup screens. Installation went flawlessly (install rom, run autorun.exe, run operator config). Paired my Plantronics 590 Stereo Headset and I'm now listening to music in strereo! Thanks for resolving this!
Post more as I try it out.
Thanks!!

sure,
due to this rom has the security desabled by default ,for some weird reason this autorun file does not work with comands from the extended rom.
but im trying to get rid of the auto run for good.
i does work if the rom has security enabled ,but then when it finishes installation it turns the rom security on by itself!!!!
i have allredy send this bug to the develpors of the autorun file.they are investigating.
plus i moved the autorun file from the extended rom because some testers could not run it in the last beta.

G3 device
Faria,
can I put this ROM to a G3 device ( IPL 2.26 SP 2.26, Molski 30 Mb ROM )
Thanks

it is safe since the rom has no bootloader integrated.but i dont know if u are able to install.since people with g4 have trouble installing 3.2. roms.
most liklely because is cid locked.
u can unlock cid in a g4 at imeicheck uk or something like that.
nevertheless a would keep an original rom from your carrier for recovery purposes or make an sd backup.

yes .u will have no trouble.

Working more with the ROM....
The operator config doesn't seem to be working for me. I did do the autorun.exe first and then ran it. At the end, it rebooted. I soft-reset and re-ran the operator file (USA_Cingular), and still don't see the definitions in the settings as I did with the last ROM release.
Ideas?

the last rom had 2 files for you carier.this one has one that i found in the xda.maybe thats the problem.if you want i can send you the last rom files.

Another item....
Registry Wizard doesn't seem to run: "Am unexpected error has occurred in Registry Wizard.exe." Related to the operator config?
Thanks!

Can't wait to test it!
After all the positive feedback I read from the initial testers, can't wait to test it myself.
Anyway Faria, thank you very much for investing the time and energy in these kind of initiatives!
Best regards,
Brian.

Are you referring to the tweaks.cab file you sent? I still have that. If not, yes, please send the files.
Thanks!

Hi,
Can I install in this rom the Ringo software. In the last one it made wizard crash, only with one hard-reset I solved that problem.
Thanks and great work

Just installed the version
So far so good. Works well. Installation took less than 10 minutes, and only got stuck at 99% for about 2 minutes.
One small thing that looks like a bug is when I try to close the task manager, it won't let me and then I have another task manager in the icons in the bottom of the screen. Is this a real problem or am I using it in the wrong way?

Download, and flash went along perfect. Followed directions exactly. After Extended Rom was installed, and device reset, got the error message "Cannot execute calnot.exe" Then installed my operator settings (US-Cingular) which evidently didnt work correctly - no big deal. After that soft reset, got the error message "cannot execute repllog.exe" I have since soft reset again, with no errors. Off the start, the only thing I see that I dont like is the new clock in the top right. It is cutting the year digit off. Is there a way to just revert back to the standard time? I have alos noticed the task manager quirk as described in the above post.

the task manager has been descussed in beta 3 that is the way it works.to exit taskmanager go to options/exit,
to remove the clok or date use registry wizard.
