Has anyone with the current T-Mobile Shipped Rom, using the BB client updated to a higher radio/bluetooth version. If so, has it had an effect upon the BB client? If I recall correctly the BB client was shipped with 1.06 in Germany?
I would like to upgrade to 1.12 &3900 but afraid to do so.
Any help appreciated. Thanks
I called T-mobile and they sent me a disk with a ROM update that included Blackberry (Instant e-mail).
I installed the update, which ends with a hard re-set.
then I restored the MDA from a full Active sync backup. this of course overwrote the Blackberry app!
Then I unlocked the extended ROM using tools from this site. Then I ran the auto installer in extended rom and the Blackberry stuff was re-installed.
Then rang t-mobile and added Instant e-mail for £10 a month. Works well.
Got the T-Mobile BB upgrade, and got my account activated 4 weeks ago (radio is version 1.0, BT is 3500).
Got the BB service up and running, but when I tried to upgrade the radio stack to 1.10, everything worked fine on the phone side, but BB stopped working.
Contacted T-Mobile CS who tried to help me get it work, said everything was fine their end and even tried many options to make it work - In this particular instance I can honestly say that I have never had better customer service. At the start of the call, they offered to call me back right away (which they actually did) and the call lasted over an hour. Eventually we concluded that it must be a problem with the radio stack.
I re-installed from the T-Mobile 'upgrade' back down to radio 1.0 and everything worked fine 'straight out of the box'.
All the BB settings and data are stored in the storage area on the MDAIII, so hard resets do not mean loss of data and you don't have to reconfigure the BB client at all.
I haven't had the time to try any other radio stacks yet, but would be interested to hear anyone else's experiences.
Has anyone managed to extract the BB client from the T-Mobile UK ROM yet? If so, would someone be kind enough to point me in the right direction?
Also, has anyone managed to get it working with another operator (specifically Vodafone)
Thanks!!

Did you manage to try BB with the 1.06 Rom on the FTP site. I am making an assumption that it should work as Germany released BB client with 1.06, but we all know what assuming does....
I am hoping that someone more expert than me will act as guinea pig :?:
Thanks J
The version I am using is
MDA3_TMUK_v106160_SHIP0307.exe
It works fine for me. I am using the t-mobile instant email account and it is also polling my standard pop3 account. I don't have a BES.
T-Mobile BB with Radio ROM 1.06 and upwards
OOPs apologies I wasn't very clear in my last post. What I was referring to is whether you have upgraded the Radio ROM from version 1.0 which is the one contained within the 1.06 BB Rom.
I am running BB fine on my device as well with the updated ROM. The problem, as ever, is the bluetooth range and quality. I believe that 1.06 is supposed to be a significant improvement over 1.0, even if 1.08/1.10 or 1.12 cannot be used.
Sorry for the misunderstanding and thanks for the tip. I'll upgrade to 106 asap and give it a try.
Jiggy - Sorry I took so long to reply, but I've been busy. Finally got round to installing 1.06 Rom on the FTP site and BB works. Thanks for the suggestion.
BB with Radio 1.06 and BT3900??
XDA Rocks - thanks for the response now I will give it a try
Have you upgraded the stack to 3900 in addition to the 1.06 upgrade?
I just wondered whether this will affect the BB.
Thanks J

Gentlemen - many thanks for all the feedback and especially MDAIIIUSER for all the guidance.
Got slightly carried away and went the whole hog!
MDA III on UK T-mobile
Flashed with 1.40 ROM, 1.12 Radio and BA_ERK_13 (from 1.22 kitchen)
+BT 3900
Everything worked well and the bluetooth may have been marginally better.
However could not get the blackberry client to work. Using instant email - the system would log on and then drop out without registering. (Similar probs in other threads). Again Tmobile customer service were exemplary and we tried everything - finally resetting back down to 1.06 ROM, 1.00 Radio and 1.06 Ext ROM. Now it all works again!
Therefore I'm assuming it's the radio that's the problem and that 1.12 does not work with BB. When feelinfg brave again will upgrade the radio to 1.06 and the Ext ROM to BA_ERK_13. Is the consensus opinion that this is sensible and should I be able to get away with the main ROM upgrade to 1.40? Anyone else tried any other combinations that allow BB to work?

Not sure if I read what you wrote correct or if you obmited some info.
Anyway If you used the ERK_122_013, in its full then you also upgraded patches like BT that are part of the 1.40.
You need to only use the customizing files and the ERK_140_Base files
As for the BB, you need to read the thread on that, think it went along the lines that only the 1.06 radio worked.

Yes, upgraded to 3900 and BB works fine - BT still crackles though.
Radio 1.06

Sorry to be a pain but could you PM me with the link or send me the 1.06 radio upgrade file. I couldn't find it on wiki (lowest I could find was 1.08).
Do you think it is worthwhile upgrading in terms of the quality and range of the bt (I note your comment that it is still crackling :evil: ). Hopefully you have noticed some improvement?
Thanks again
Jase
Jiggy,
I found the radio rom on the ftp site in
/BlueAngel/Radio_Roms
I have upgraded to 1.06 and BT3900 and personally haven't noticed any improvement using Jabra 200 and Bluespoon AX headsets
T-mobile Blackberry
MDAIIIUSER
Many thanks again.
Just confirming but if I understand correctly - the best that we can hope for on our UK MDA IIIs at present is: (with Blackberry working)
ROM 1.06
Radio 1.06
Ext ROM 1.40 cooked (customised as required)
Is this correct?

Any of you 8125 owners who installed the imate 2.16.9.101 release have any new feedback on how it's going? Are there still issues with the connection icons or wifi connectivity?
I'm eager to get push mail working and have not been able to get a straight answer from a dozen different folks at Cingular on when their release will come out...so I might give the imate release a shot.
What about going back to the shipping Cingular version after installing the imate update - is it easy/possible? Any problems with extended ROM?
thx
I never even used the phone with the original cingular firmware, I went directly to the Q-tek Test rom. From that rom to this rom, the radios seem a little better (getting better signal, edge seems slightly faster, wifi picks up network much faster) and for some reason the whole feel is "snappier" seems like the menus and such load faster. I haven't had any stability issues, and push is working perfect.
I dont' know about the much faster part, but mine is very stable since i removed battery pack pro. I have SPB's power plus as well as their weather software.
if there are any software you want tested just let me know. Well if I can atleast run it without having to buy it, (i.e. Demos, etc.)
Bluetooth, Wifi, Edge, and signal are all real good. (signal on par with 1.12 radio as well as faster to get a signal than it was)
Battery icon is NOT on the bottom and does NOT show more than 2 bars ( so you have full, somewhere in between, and low).
Battery life seems pretty good, but I can't compare it to any other version as I had the phone 36 hours before I upgraded it to this version.
Great thanks for the feedback yall. So once I do the upgrade, how hard will it be to go back to the shipped version if I ever need to? I have everything backed up using awizard, but I understand there could be problems trying to go to a previous version. I think downgrading via the bootloader mode requires executable rom images, but there isn't one available for the shipping version.
You can still downgrade to an old imate ROM and then use aWizard to restore your cingular ROM.
I have installed it on my Qtek 9100.
I hanged 5 times in 2 days.
What is more annoying is when it hangs and
someone tries to call me at the same time, the
other party hears my phone ringing, but my
Qtek is dead silent.

Is your wifi working OK? If so, did you install any of the cingular exrom customizations?
Just curious, because I installed the released imate rom and everything is working like a champ except wifi. I installed some of the original customizations from the cingular exrom and I wonder if one of those cabs did something to the wifi config...
What kind of porblems are you having with the wifi?

It won't turn on.. =)
I thought perhaps it was one of the cingular customization cabs I installed from the original exrom, but now I'm not so sure. I looked at all the cabs and the only one that relates to wifi is the cab that sets the key to enable talking to 802.11g APs.
In comm manager, if I click the wifi icon, it appears to attempt to start wifi, but then goes back to an "x" over the wifi button. The wifi radio doesn't start and the left LED that blinks when wifi is on does not come on.
I wish there were some logs to look at on this thing to see why it's failing to start wifi..
Solved the wifi problem. It appears to be related to something in one of the original 8125 exrom cabs. I reinstalled the new imate rom, skipped the imate exrom install, and only installed a couple cabs from the 8125 exrom. The cabs I installed that did not affect wifi were the mms config, the gprs account config, and the edge icon.
All is now well. If I had the time and patience I'd tear apart the original 8125 cabs to see which one might cause wifi probs, but at this point it's not necessary.
I'll stick with it as-is now until cingular releases their own update...assuming that happens before the hermes is out.. =)
I have a Dopod 838 (identical to 8125, I suppose). The new ROM has worked awesome for me. Better in every way. Even the infamous Activesyn problem went away
I am getting ready to take the plunge...just in case...
does anyone have the original 8125 ROM?
I use SPB backup can restore a backup after I upgrade?
I installed this rom on my 9100, and it is much better than it was with any of the other roms including the original shipped rom!
The radio is much clearer and the wifi hooks up faster and runs better, and I have had absolutely NO lock ups at all.
Later
I am thinking of installing it on an 8125...
Without a backup 'known good' ROM to revert back to I am cautious

I added the extROM files one by one to see which one caused the wifi issue and it was Signed-gprsstall_128.sa.cab...so far. It was only the third one in a series of 17. I'll see what happens when I add the rest. This cab file moves a radio.dll file around.
I've installed this ROM on 2 8125's. Much better and faster than Cingular's ROM. The only thing I did was to install the Cingulcustomize_No_Emails.cab, Microsoft Voice and TRE Pocket PC registry editor and remove all traces of the Voice Command. WiFi connects to my secured access point flawlessly (though I never use WiFi) and the AKU2 push email typically has my emails coming in in about 8-10 seconds from my Exchange 2003 server. Very infrequent lockups, much less than any other ROM I've installed.
Just my two cents worth ...

the one thing I see is it sets up the GPRS settings for data connection ... you do not need it to make phone calls or use Wifi
Step by step to 2.16
I have a cingular 8125. I'm no stranger to flashing roms, I had a SX66 that was running WM5 and I reloladed it all the time. I'd like to see a step by step guide for unlocking the ext rom, flashing the radio and system roms for the 8125. Anyone know a post with that info in it?
Thanks!

Interesting you say you're no stranger to flashing ROMs but then ask for a step by step.
It's laid out quite well in several topics, but basically:
-Use awizard and enable rapi
-Use awizard and CID unlock
-Use awizard to back up Extrom, radio, splash, os
-Run the executable RUU installer for the imate
-On first boot, as soon as you get prompted to choose a carrier, do a soft reset to prevent the imate ext rom stuff from loading
-Install desired customization items from your backed up cingular ext rom. Any of them can be installed EXCPET the gprsstall cab - it will kill your wifi.
There is currently no way to unlock the ext rom in the lates imate upgrade, so you're stuck with what's in there, but you don't have to let it install.
I'm trying to conect my newly purchased Omiz 5660 to my MDA Tmobile wizard. I have added a Tronado_A2DP.cab to my sim/cid unlocked device with some luck but just can't get the conection to work. I see the new check box for Wireless Stereo but for some reason the device will not send any sound to the unit. I think it's a problem with the Omiz device or the user. Further more after I save the new partnership there is no icon in the tool bar to show Wireless Stereo or even Hands Free. Any ideas, would be wonderfull to get this little puppy going.
IPL 2.21
SPL 2.21
GSM 02.19.11
Protocall 4.1.13.09

ExtROM 2.21..2[/b]
I think it's the OMIZ -- I have the Zonet ZUB8100 (basically the same hardware) and the Moto HT820. I see the same thing with the Zonet, but the Moto works fine.
Hi,
I have SIM card belonging to former ATT wireless network and I want to upgrade my Qtek 9100 to best ROM and radio to work in US (on former ATT wireless network or Cingular at least).
What is the best ROM and radio for this situation if somebody has the same device?
Thanks,
I have a generic QTEK 9100 and us Cingular.
This was installed from the forums summiter custom rom.
ROM version: 2.17.7.2 WWE
ROM date: 2/10/06
Radio version: 02.07.10
Protocol version: 413.1.03
Works great everywhere including my recent trip to Alaska.
My only issue is that I have a PDA data plan and everything installs as WAP and when you add the connection for the DATA Plan it still tries to use WAP. I need the PDA plan because WAP does not support VPN connections and I like to use the phone as a modem with my notebook.
Hello! I am a Cingular customer with the Qtek 9100. I have been with Cingular for several years when they used to be Southwestern Bell Wireless here in Amarillo, TX.
I purchased my unlocked 9100 last winter. It had the original radio, ROM, ExtRom etc and worked fine on Cingular. I simply took my SIM card out of my previous phone (that had a data plan), stuck it in the 9100, went to the Cingular Support site for all the access credentials for MediaNet and MyISP and there I was. (MMS uses MediaNet). If you were to have seen me in a crowd, I'd be the one grinning from ear to ear. Works great! I have since used the registry hacks to enable the E for EDGE enabled areas, etc. I also updated my ROM, Radio, etc to these versions:
ROM:2.17.7.2 WWE
ROM Date: 2/10/06
Radio:02.25.11
Protocol:4.1.13.12
Ext ROM:2.17.7.102
The Radio version is the most recent update I did yesterday, the ROM was done shortly after its release some weeks (months?) ago. I have also added the A2DP and it works like a charm with Motorola HT820 stereo headset. I have had absolutely no issues with any working aspect with this phone at all. I should also note that the only other software I have added is the GPS utility for my Houlux bluetooth GPS receiver. I'm still looking for a good mapping/navigation software with voice prompting to add later.
Best of luck with your trials, I hope they will be all as good as mine have been!

Do you happen to have the link for that? I can't get my MMS to work. They never download, and I have the unlimited DATA plan.

Hi all, first post, long time reader
Running Helmis latest 3.2 ROM PH2OB1. Thank you Helmi and everyone else out there for ALL the ROM work!! I guess there are not to many Cingular users out there?? The SetOperator code I set was XGULA001. It did not seem to help any. Its not in the auto config. I did delete all operators per instuctions and left the one it asked to leave there.
I am aware there is no operator available for U.S.A Cingular. Is there any way to set it up for Cingular? Any hacks from old ROM's that can be done? The reason I ask mostly is because my phone under WM2003 had Cingulars MediaNet installed automatically, now there is nothing for GRPS. Also my phones radio uses ATT&T Wireless for some reason??
Any help would be returned.
If anybody needs help or would like to discuss the BA SX66 under Cingular USA I would love to do so. Lets Trade notes!!
Thank you all!
Pete
Greetings and Salutations.
PH20B1 running LogOut 3.0 ROM, with the 32MB RAM change. I was just too lazy to change it to 16MB.
Anyhow, I am Cingular customer running with AT&T SIM, which means that I do not have the MediaNet Settings. I do however use the AT&T setting in the Cingular network. I believe you just need to search the Cingular site for the MediaNet information. All you would need would be the ip addresses or the name of the servers to proxy...
I am not aware of any hacks, other than manually inserting in the network information for Cingular, which I do everytime I install a new ROM.
As for the AT&T wireless signal, you may just be closer to the AT&T tower than the Cingular Tower, but no worries, you are on the correct network...
Seimens SX66 Cingular USA Setup help needed - Use this CAB
I had a lot of problems when upgrading my SX66 too. I ran SetOperator.bat and typed "Cingular" (no quotes) as my Operator and re-installed. I then copied the CAB (attached for your use) to my SX66 and ran it. After that, I had full Cingular functionality.
WOW! All of a sudden I have Cingular GRPS MMS!!!
Amazing what a little cab file will do!!
Thank you!
Thank you!!
Thank you!!!
