Since last week I own a T-Mobile MDAIII with: ROMN 1.22.01 GER, Radio 1.06.00, Protokoll Version 1337.38. I read long articles about the existing updates and how to update the pocket pc; what I am missing is: Where can I download the software. I am only interested in the ROM Bersion 1.42 and in the last radio update. Thank's for your help.
Post moved to correct forum.

I've downloaded and tried to patch the radio rom as above from qtek.nu but it didn't work ( apparently the new files have a different allogorithm to encode ). Can someone upload or pm me the German Tmobile patched radio 1.06.02?

Does this rar file have the 1.06.02 radio rom? Because the one that I've downloaded from t-mobile.de only had the 1.06.00 radio rom...
1.06.02 can be found here:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/RadioROM/BA_FRA_BelDT_12202_558_10602_Ship/radio_.nbf
The radio rom does not care about your device Language.
You need a FTP tool!
Thanks for the link. I just upgraded mine to 1.06.02. I cannot really hear a difference but I guess there are some improvements
well I went form radio 1.02.00 up to 1.06.02
now I can get calls while I am sitting on the toilet. not sure if that is realy good <grin>

Not sure if this has been posted, or if this is the correct place to post.
does it have the radio rom 1.10.0 like the german o2 xda2s?
Is the German 1.31 ROM with the Radio ROM 1.10 avaible?
This rom has been posted in wiki (WWE)
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Upgrades
I checked the german link and did a search but found nothing
I've seen on german forums that the newly shipped o2 xdaIIs from germany have radio rom 1.10.0.
Same is true for the MDAIII, I am downloading a rom now and will post it in wiki
Well, I thought that I got the 1.10.00 rom from T-Mobile But I was wrong.
Sorry! its was a 1.00.00 !
Sorry for being a noob, what does (Cooked) mean in your sig?
will this upgrade work with asian IIs ?
I have seen a guy who bought his xdaiis in Singapore with the following version.
Can somebody take this ROM and load it here????
Many thanks!!!
Cheers,
Is there anyway of upgrading an O2 XdaIIs Asia Model with the CE ROM image only? I thought of changing an old 1.22 ROM with the correct Country Codes but its too much stuffing around if O2 Asia end up releasing a ROM updatet for the IIs. I tried upgrading but it keeps failing on 8%, i'm assuming because the encryption has been changed from 1.22 to 1.31. But when i try and install the 1.31 with its BAUpgradeUT it gives me a checksum error, but if i use an older version it failed on 8%.
Anyone know how to upgrade to this version/latest CE rom image?
To start with I have had my xda iis only a few days. The roms is:
ROM version: 1.12.62 WWE
ROM date: 10/04/04
Radio version: 1.02.00
Protocol version: 1337.32
ExtROM version: 1.12.178 WWE
There are numerous comments on here and the wiki about different rom and radio updates. Could anyone sum up the benefits and differences for me if i upgrade rom or radio please?
Can nobody advise a newcomer to xda iis and these forums? On other subjects I've had a really good response but nobody seems to want to advise me on this thread.
martlewis - you know there's a new ROM out, everyone's busy trying that out! Windows Mobile 2005. If you feel confident in doing a backup, try that one. It's got serious issues to be resolved, but you're lucky enough to own a device that can be upgraded.
I've got a magician, so can't help re your specific rom.

martlewis,
If you can wait for the new ROM WM5 to be developed it will be OK for you, but if you can't I would suggest that you should up-grade to the latest available ROM up-date which is as follows:
ROM version : 1.40.00 WWE
ROM date : 03/10/05
Radio version : 1.13.00
Protocol version: 1377.42
ExtRom version : 1.40.176
This is the best performing ROM version as at now.
Regards
sorry for my intrimission!
I have a pda2k with italian rom, but I would to like to have the system language in english.
To upgrade the rom: I must download the version 1.40.00 WWE from wiki and then run the update using: MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe.. right?!
Dear Mart...
I have tried the new ROM which I've been waiting for a long time. Once installed, I liked it. Howerver, I started to find out that there are many problems that I'm not used to with WM2003 SE, therfore, I downgraded to WM2003.....until these issues are resolved. SO.... if know how to upgrade, and if you know how to downgrade in case you didn't like the new ROM......Then give it a try......apart from the issues it has....still I like it. Finally it's another new Microsoft Windows that will take some time to get stable.
Cheers
I decided to wait for the official new ROM to be developed and published on the I-mate site to download and up-grade.
What's happening now is just trials for resolving the problems users are facing with the new WM5 ROM.
My device is working fine now with the 1.40 ROM version and 1.13 Radio version.
The only problem I'm facing is the statics in BT headset and I hope that we can find some solution for this problem in the near future, otherwise everything is going just fine.
Regards

Click to expand...

Closer,
I think that you have to simply download the english version and install it to your PDA2K through the computer cable. After the installation is complete, you will be having the english version installed on your PDA2K.

Hi everybody.
First of all, thanks for this really nice forum.
I am a complete newbie in Pocket PC world. I am coming from Palm world. In fact, I was so much disapointed by palm that I decided to switch.
So, I have just purchased in London a second hand T-Mobile MDA III. I have unlock really easily with the program I found on this forum.
Now I want to upgrade the ROM because regarding the version of mine, it seems pretty old. Here is my version description :
ROM Version : 1.06.00 ENG
ROM date : 08/05/04
Radio Version : 1.00.00
Protocol Version : 1337.30
ExtROM version : 1.06.117 WWE
Model No. : PH20B
I have read a lot of information about this subject, but to be honest I am completly lost.
First I don't understand what is an extended rom ? I mean why there is two roms.
Secondly, what is the last version of the ROM I can use to upgrade my MDA III. I don't care that much about the T-Mobile configuration since I am using it in France. So anyway I will have to put another configuration for my carrier. So what ROM can I put and what is the process to do the upgrade. For the moment I don't want to upgrade to WM5 just new version of WM2003 SE. In fact, if at the same time I can get rid of the T-Mobile branding, it would be great, but it's my principal reason for upgrade.
Also, my last question is that sometimes after using my mda, it seems to run quite slow, specially display. Do you know what is the reason ? I am thinking it might be relating with the use of WM9.
Thanks a lot for your help guys.
Julien.
Hi
First of all: read all the wiki section for BA (BlueAngel)
It's quite well explained there.
Your roms are indeed old.
Go to the wiki section and download newest rom update.
( I think that I-mate's update has ROM 1.40.00WWE with Radio 1.12.00 and ExtROM 1.40.176WWE )
Upgrading is very simple, when you follow wiki.
ExtROM is a portion of ROM that contains installation files for provider-specific applications and some hotfices (CAB files). ExtROM can be edited by user (cooking) to personalize your device best.
At your point I suggest using extROM from this update.
Thanks a lot Robal.
I had to check some other post, because my current ROM was in ENG. So I use some trick to use WWE Rom.
But now it is working great.
Julien.
Hi folks! Is there any chance of getting some stickies on here with Upgrade stuff in them? While it's fun to spend 4 hours searching the forums I think it may save time to have everything in one place
My current Wizard (MDA Vario flavour) details are:-
ROM Version 1.3.2.2 ENU
ROM Date 38624
Radio Version 01.04.10
Protocol Version 4.0.13.17
ExtROM Version 1.3.2.102
However I've decided to stay up-to-date with all the software on it. As far as I can tell the sequence I need for upgrading and reflashing etc is:-
Unlock CID
Radio ROM
ROM
Extended ROM
As I'm on T-Mobile (UK) I'll need to retain all my settings for the network so does that mean I specifically have to re-flash with the T-Mobile ROM stuff or can I choose Qtek 9100 and iMate K-Jam ROMs and then add my settings in after? I know I can't use XDA Mini or SPV M3000 ROMs as their network-specific like my MDA Vario but just wondering about the others?
Any suggestions for versions etc?
