Flashing the rom of a US phone with the UK version - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

Hey Everyone,
Quick question, I have the T-Mobile MDA sold in the US and I want to flash the rom. T-Mobile US has nothing on their website, and the only rom update I managed to find was from tmobile U.K.
Can I go ahead and flash my US phone with ROM for T-Mobile UK?
What are the implications?
Thanks,
Ido

There is a report of success over on HowardForums
http://howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=954015
Anyone else have any success? How does this compare to the 2.24 ROMs circulating?

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 :?

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.

Orange Diamond Firmware Update Needed

Hi guys
Hope you don't think this is a noob question, probably is so please forgive me in advance, i hope you will help me in any case.
I bought an HTC Diamond from Orange UK but it shipped with the 1.35 Firmware not the 1.37 or newer.
I thought if i registered on HTC's website i could get the latest firmware, however when i put my serial number in, it tells me it isn't an HTC branded phone and i need to talk to my provider.
However when i talk to Orange they say that they do not have anywhere to download firmware updates and i need to talk to HTC. I therefore don't know where to go to get an Orange 1.37 firmware or later. i know they are shipping 1.37 versions as my mate has an Orange Diamond with 1.37 installed.
Can you guys help me out here? Also is 1.37 the newest firmware? Or is there a later one that i can get hold of?
Cheers
Mike
maybe better post this in the ROM section?
search there you might find what you are searching for
reposted. i did a search before but could not find any answers
Cheers

T-Mobile - US ROM and UK ROM

Hi guys,
I tried to download a upgrade file for my T-mobile phone at http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/ but it seem to be hard for people. It requires you have to have a T-mobile number to download it.
I just got the phone, from T-mobile, but I don't have the number right now. Do any one known how to get rid of it, or just share me a phone number.
I can download the ROM from UK website. Can anyone tell me what's th different between US ROM and UK ROM? I got a G4 phone which is running 2.26.10.2 WWE US ROM. Can I use the UK ROM? And do I need to upgrade it.
Thanks all !!!

Which ROM did you have before? What carrier?
If it's not on their website, then you'll have to wait for Hard SPL before you can flashed a dumped ROM.

Generic ROM
Hi
The ROM i had was not for a specific carrier, it worked with the SIM card of any carrier. I bought it from the UK but i used it in the middle east.
