Hi all,
I'm a Vodafone user in Australia adn have just changed the ROM in my phone from the O2 Asia 1.40.923 WWE to the O2 UK 1.40.237 WWE in order to get access to the Blackberry Connect functionality
My question is this:
Should I be installing any of the Vodafone localised CAB files in order to get Australian GPRS settings etc. - if so - I presume I need to cook the extended ROM?
If I then do install the Vodafone GPRS.CAB into the ExtROM - are there likely to be any other adverse effects?
Any advice would be appreciated

Right now I am happy with my MDA Vario NL, except for one thing: T-Mobile branding. I've been reading a lot lately on this website and I figured out how to CID unlock and upgrade my T-Mobile ROM with let say Qtek 9100 WWE or i-Mate WWE (both in english).
Before I do this I just want to make sure if replacing/upgrading my T-Mobile ROM is sufficient to remove all the T-Mobile branding form the phone, including the splash screen at start-up, themes sounds etc.
Do I need to replace my Extended ROM as well with a compatible Qtek/i-Mate version to get rid of the T-Mobile stuff and how do you do this?? I have not been able to unlock my T-Mobile Extended ROM due to some errors. Is there an easy way to replace it??
Hi people,
When I bought this T-Mobile contract with MDA Vario HTC Wizard, I thought maybe I was overestimating my needs and I wouldn't need such a device. I proved myself wrong...but still I need some help.
The last thing the salesman told me was 'Have fun!'. Well, i Don't an that's why:
I bought it in Netherlands, and they forgot to mention that it is the Dutch version of Windows Mobile 2005. I need to change it, but I don't really know which one to choose. I've read that QTEK ROM makes the Phone faster. Is there any standard in the way the filenames are named?
As far as I understand, I can install the english version of windows mobile 2005, and then download the T-mobile settings for Netherlands. Still I need two downloads. Is there any T-Mobile Netherlands with English WM2005 ROM?
If I install the English WO2005, will the SIMlock function keep on working?
I have these parameters:
ipl 1.06
spl 1.06
gsm 1.12.10
os 1.6.2.2
Which one is the most important to refer to when trying to find a new ROM to install?
Thanks for your patience.
first of all you need to [cid] unlock before younedd anything
then you can install any rom/language versao that you want
as for T-Mobile Netherlands all you need is the cab file for that operator and you can find that in here this forum just by asking for it
yes your sim will still work but you could sim unlock with the same tool that you need to cid unlock.
It's done
I managed it finally. Thx a lot
I have a Wizard and Ive just upgraded the ROM to the 2.17 ENG. The original was a T-Mob NL, NL version. I downloaded the Provider settings for T-Mobile, but mysteriously, refuses to connect to GPRS. Any Dutch friend to help? Do I need any extra info (username or password)?
The fact that the CID is unlocked, has anything to do with it?
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
I flashed my firmware with one of the Cingular firmwares. (my mda was already unlocked) Now when I try to use one of the tmobile firmwares to flash back it gives me an error. This is what I have installed now.
Rom 1.8.10.12
Rom date 12/1/05
Radio version 02.13.11
Protocol 4.1.13.05
IPL 2.21
SPL 2.25
GSM 02.13.11
OS 1.8.10.2
Can anyone tell me what is going on here. The phone is working and the data services work. I need someone to post the link to the best firmware flash for my TMOBILE MDA (us version) I have service with Cingular. I need the ROM that has the best receiption and performance and the most features that will work on my MDA Please help.
if you want to go back to the T-Mobile original settings, you need to upgrade to the custom ROM and then downgrade back. If you just want to have the T-Mobile settings, stick with the 2.17 custom rom that Xelecin cooked. I've found that his 2.21 rom was a lttle buggy, but his 2.17 rom is spot on. It has the cid/sim unlockers built in.
good luck
