I've been looking now on how to unlock my orange uk kasier for about 2 weeks. I'm going to use Olipro's or jockyw2001's unlocker BUT in order to do this I need the original radio version of the phone which is 1.27.14.32 I've looked everywhere for this and just cant find it and reading some threads it seems like I'm not the only one. Can some one please help.
As I see it without this radio version I cant unlock my phone and therefore cant add other roms as the phone may sim lock and as this is a works phone I doubt I'll be able to ring myself to get the unlock code and it may raise my firms eye brows when I ring them to do it if I 'balls up' and as I've only had it 2 weeks i understand orange wont provide the codes for a miniumum of 3 months
Please dont flame me, I've read hundreds of posts but just cant seem to find this ( or is there another way round this )
I had the same radio ROM on my Kaiser (Orange branded)
I used Radio ROM 1.27.12.32.
All went well & the device runs fine (no sound loss issues that some people had when trying 1.27.14.09)
If you did have ROM compatability issues you could upgrade to the WM6.1 ROM after unlocking.
I think all these files are available in the wiki.
check the rom development section and the wiki, you should be able to find a list of radio only flashes including that one.
Thanks Mr B, Cosmic Blue believe me I have looked and this radio is not anywhere.
Mister B when you 'upgraded' your phone could you still get notification of answer phone messages left on your phone, I've 'upgraded' a hermes before which was on orange and never got this function back unless i put a genuine orange rom on it ?
Hard to answer that one. I had my orange answer phone canceled via orange services prior to flashing.
Your other option is to dump the rom from your device & extract the radio to use for reflash
I think you'll find the notification is in the main rom not the radio.
I remember a few people having problems after flashing cooked roms.
Had some posts on this & a cab file with the required dll to fix it.
Might be worth doing a bit of searching on this.

Thanks Mister B, found the orange cab by Rabdo so nearly there now
Denco7 I'd checked that one already and no 1.27.14.32 which is what I'd really like as I know it works well on my tytn ii.
guess I'll have to look into dumping it then
1.27.14.32
I have that radio version (1.27.14.32) in my Orange UK TyTN II. I've dumped the ROM but I can't figure out how to reconstruct just the radio! If someone can help me I will will upload it.
I also had the same radio 1.27.14.32 and could not find it for download but after some reading I came across the Radio Mister B mentions above 1.27.12.32 and it worked fine (including the answer phone notification) with the Dutty rom I was using I think it was the (DualTouch V3). I've since upgraded to the L26 V9 rom with radio 1.58.25.17 and its still working fine, although I haven't had the chance to check answerphone notification.

I'm new round here, but just received a T Mobile update. The file is MDA3_TMUK_v106160_SHIP0307.exe I've put it in the root of the ftp server, since wasn't allowed to put it in a more appropriate place. Hope that's OK.
BTW it does seem to have improved my audio quality, which was the reason I asked for it. It didn't come with release notes, so I don't know what else is included.
Strangely, although the updater worked, and as I say it has fixed my problem, when I look at device info it still shows ExtROM 1.06.117 WWE.
What have I misunderstood?
I think this is only an update to give Blackberry access.
Okay guys,
So you know the next question... can anybody extract the blackberry app so I can try it on my XDAiis as the other ones don't generate a PIN!
yes please, same for me. I would love to have the UK blackberry application.
thanks in advance for anybody who can remove the BB application out of this ROM update.

T-Mobile UK Official Rom Update
I have just received this update as well.
Can one of the technical wizards on the site (such as MDAIII user) have a look at what is in the extended ROM, as well as Blackberry.
T-Mobile say that they have included a number of other patches for bluetooth etc. Could someone list exactly what has been changed over the base ROM.
After buying my device nearly 6 months ago and waiting this long whilst all my O2 and Imate cousins have had lots of upgrades to the radio and base rom, I am deeply unimpressed. :evil:
Thank you in advance for any assistance.
J
Same Here!
Hey all,
Well Jason, I feel exactly the same way. :roll: Been long waiting any updates and hopefully this update solves some of the following problems. Just doing a Full Backup, before update is applied! I will reply when installed with any updates to software revisions for bluetooth/rom/extended rom/etc.
*Such as Bluetooth dropping its connection from Weak to Good continuously when connected to me Jabra BT200.
*Another problem is that when firstly I soft reset the device it hangs whilst booting on the second T-Mobile screen, and have to soft reset the device 2/3 times rapidly before it boots properly. This can be a problem if its hung and you urgently need to make a phone call.
Anyone else having these problems?
Apart from that everything else seems to be in working order.
Sunny D
I downloaded the upgrade and ran it agaist the new tool.
This seems to be a 3 version of the encription as the tool will not open the file.
unless somebody posts the cabs ( In a subdir of the root of the ftp site) I can't look at them.
As per my above post shows I was just about to update my phone but no-one said it would lock my networks!.....I just didn't think of that!
Well I've just installed it and it has Locked the networks. It was unlocked to all networks, and not anymore.
Looks like I'll have to pay again to unlock it! Unless someone can help me unlock my MDA III!?!?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rom Version: 1.06.00 ENG (No change)
Rom Date: 08/05/04 (No change)
Radio Version: 1.00.00 (No change)
Protocol Version: 1337.30 (No change)
EXTROM Version: 1.06.160 ENG (Wasn't displayed before update on phone)
Bluetooth: Build 3500 (Was Build 1900)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So overall probably just a Bluetooth Update/Blackberry support and Video MMS. Not a great update, probably not worth the update considering I can only use my T-Mobile Sim for now!!!
Well MDAIIIUser what cabs do ya need? I'll try!.....Copy them of my Phone or PC??....& need to know where to find them??
Sunny D
Did I understand what you wrote
you had a phone that was sim locked
you had it unlocked so that you can use any sim
you ran the above upgrade on your unlocked device
now you have a locked device and you can't use any sim that you like but have to use a t.mobile sim
Well that is what I understood
As for the cabs
They are in the extnded_rom folder that is hidden
you need to download the tool, check wiki for the link (if its still around)
Zip the file, and uploaded it
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_ERK_Tools
ta
If you paid T-Mobile to unlock your MDA they should unlock it again for you without charge.
Anyone managed to get the Blackberry CAB out yet?
MDA III UK Upgrade Didn't relock my phone
I have tested out my phone after the upgrade and I am pleased to advise that it is still totally unlocked.
T-Mobile unlocked the original ROM for me for the £15 charge and the phone has stayed unlocked even after the upgrade (just as well!).
SunnyD - thank you for your work in helping to analyse what is new in the extended ROM.
Hi guys. Never posted before but been around.
Was once able to access the ftp but lately I get a permission denied message. Anyone got any advice on how to overcome this?
Found the ext rom 1.06.160 ENG on ftp site and linked it to wiki, Thanks sunnyd24.
Will cook it and post in wiki as well as update this thread.
The file you are looking for is:
htc_pocketpc_tmo_england_2.0.0.25-18.cab
The rest of the rom seems the same (looked at it for 30 secs)
Managed to access the ftp in the end. Was being stupid really... :?

Hello all,
Not a problem Jason, we are all here to help each other. Well I just tried another sim (old O2 & Orange) after the success you had, & guess what It is unlocked!!!!
I've got a problem with a new O2 sim i'm using. Its new & was working in the phone before the update and kept sim card whilst the update. And now cannot use that sim in the phone for some reason!
Its wierd how an old O2 sim works fine but the new one has problems.
:?: Anyone got any ideas??
Well as for helping everyone with version info for MDAIIIUser I am going to upload the new extended rom files to the FTP Site (and attatched below as a Rar). Hope it helps everyone!
Well all for now,

Both the ship and exteneded rom for the 1.06.160 have been posted in wiki (as per the posts that i wrote before) Think the only file you need to attach is the one for BB (as ...)
Hi,
Just wanted to get BT working well on my PDA2k.
Did the Radio upgrade as told in wiki to 1.10 - as I saw a few comments saying 1.12 was unstable.
WEnt through fine, except now I cannot get a phone signal at all and the phone call buttons don't work.
What is the best thing to do? Should I just do the whole upgrade to 1.40. I read that the phone was locking up on this and was not confident to do the fix.
Appreciate your help.
(Going back to 1.22 for now as I have now wasted 4 hours precious work tome just trying to get the device to work as it originally should!)
Russel
W know have 3 threads on the 1.40.
All seem to post errors with that rom in some minor way.
Myself I went for the 1.40 converted to type I and have not added the ext rom (yet). also have 1.12, in all I am happy with it as I have not come across any of those issues (as i dont use the camera, ect). So far Imate makes the best rom IMHO.

MDAIIIUser, which 1.40 rom are you using? The one from the original thread "New Rom 1.40 on FTP" or the one you converted from this thread "BA_WWE_14000_147_11200_Ship" ? There should not be any differences between roms i think, but i find there are some subtle variances. Is it possible that conversion can corrupt the final rom produced? Your converted rom seems to work better for me but still need a soft reset now and then
converted to type I qtek 147.
It could be possible that conversion is corupt but dont think so, check wiki avlible roms and see the passed with new tool. all of these roms have been confirmed to work.
Sure I have issues with this rom but they are carry over from 1.02, 1.22, 1.31 and now 1.40. Most based on alarm issues as well as remove from power were i get locked due to i-pass (i think)
I will do a hex file compare on the 1.40 ce from qtec and see if i see anything.
Type I and Type II
Thanks for the reply - appreciate it.
Which download was it that you used - the one from wiki?
Also what is the difference between type I and type II?

Type I and Type II cont'd
Thanks for the reply - sorry a bit slow here.
I get there is a difference between types according to the origin - however how is it relevant? If I am coming from 1.22.162 (Type I) ext ROM should I make sure I only install a ROM upgrade that is type I? :?
Cheers
Russel
Clear text.
Type I roms work with tool xda3nbtool.exe
Tpye II roms give you a header error when used with tool.
Thus you can only upgrade type I roms unless you know the country code fix that seems to work.
Wiki is my prefered choice for downloading roms, in the case of the 1.40 I used the thread to download the converted 1.40 to type I rom which was not hard for me as I posted it. (its the qtek 1.40.147)
Thanks
Thanks MDAIIIuser. It is clear now.
Regards
Russel
MDAIIIUser, i saw your reply in another thread after comparing the 1.40 roms. How about the first 1.40 rom posted in this file BA_1.40_radio_1.20_untested_extrom.rar on the ftp? This should be the same as all the others right? I seem to have had fewer problems with this rom than the converted to type I qtek 147. My main problem seems to be turning the phone on after being in flight mode, losing network signal and GPRS sometimes not connecting. All need a soft reset to resolve. The from BA_1.40_radio_1.20_untested_extrom.rar gave me problems when trying to turn on wifi. Im using radio 1.12.
efjay
It takes me just over an hour to download roms of this site which I know is my problem.
I dont like working with baked roms as I can't post them to wiki as they are not complete,
I can't cook the Ext Rom as it to is not original,
I can't post the ext rom in wiki
and thus the hour download is a waste of my time.
I seem to spend enough time updating wiki and finding new roms on the web so sorry the answer is no I wont check that rom untill I see a original ship.exe.
You could though
MDAIIIUser, sure i would be happy to. Im not too sure what tool i should use to do a comparison. Im reading wiki, if its there ill find it. thanks
My choice would be ultracompare
http://www.ultraedit.com/
you will notice that the header is different this is due to the file timestamp and date.
Windows media player v10
MDAIIIuser or anyone else.
I upgraded my CE ROM to 1.40, however I cannot get windows media player to pick up any of my music files as valid .wma files. It also seems to be endlessly looking for a skin.
Any suggestions?
Cheers
Russel
read something about that in one of the 3 threads on the 1.40 (well I think I did)
How to fix
DId a search for WMP problems - couldn't find anything useful at a quick glance. Any ideas how to resolve it?
Cheers
Russel
MDAIIIUser, i downloaded ultracompare and can see there are differences with all the 1.40 roms but the output doesnt make sense to me. I guess ill try all the roms and if there is a difference it should show up. thanks for your help
Hi,
I've flashed my Vario with the Qtek update that has Exchange push. The thing is have I done the right thing, I just unlocked it and CID and then flashed it.
Having read the forums a bit it seems i should have preserved the T-Mobile radio update somehow and whatever else? How can I do this and also can someone direct me to the last release of the T-Mobile update as they have withdrawn it from the Website but if I just need the radio out of the ROM then it should not be a problem.
Please advise!!!
i dont understand why you need radio from t-bomile :roll:
I read that it has a newer radio version. From reading what other people have done it seems they've used the Qtek ROM but kept other aspects using a thing called aWizard which i havent.
You can run just about any ROM/Radio ROM mixture you want. I’m not sure what you’re worried about? Are you actually experiencing a problem? You didn’t mention that the device was running abnormally. If you have read of others using a diff Radio ROM it’s not because that’s what you’re “supposed” to do but rather others feeling that they get better results by using diff versions.
For instance, I have the latest test ROM on my 9100 and the radio signal was crap with the 1.13.x radio ROM so I downgraded to the previous qtek version. Then just for ****s & giggles I loaded the latest Cingular radio ROM and have found that this combination works best for me. My service is through Tmobile and I have not had a problem running any ROM or radio ROM just some work better than others FOR ME. It’s up to you to decide which combination you like best.
Hope that helps.
I like that... I need to remember this one "for ****s and giggles".
Firstly...I'm with 3 in Australia
Ok, bought a TYTN II off ebay some months ago now from a Hong Kong dealer (that'll learn me) and it seems to not work with the 3G network here in Australia. The phone is always EDGE roaming and whenever it switches to 3G I can't send or receive SMS messages.
I've done some reading around and found that maybe I need to flash the ROM of the phone to an Australian one so that the phone will work properly. I found a thread on Whirlpool and someone there posted a link to this ROM for another user:
www.mediafire.com/?0jt1cwyx61g
Is that the ROM I want? If so, how do I go about flashing my phone with this ROM to make it work?
Can anyone help me??
You're more than likely having issues with the radio that came with the phone. Go to the ROM development forum, read how to unlock, install HardSPL, etc.. and then choose either one of the ROMs that come with a new radio available: NATF, Hyperdragon, Dutty's, etc... or look at one of the threads that show how to install a new radio. I'm not going to make any ROM recommendations, because it's really a matter of personal taste and how the ROM feels to you. For me personally, I've settled on T.i.R vk8 WWE build 19971. And I have radio version 1.58.25.17.
Hey dude,
congrats on the kick-ass new phone.
To help you with your prob, you'll have to signup and login to HTC E-Club for Australia, then download and flash the latest 3 ROM. Its the only way to ensure you have the correct inbuilt three network settings, there was a cab floating around a while back but it didn't include planet3 connectivity - only mobile internet.
look for this one :
HTC TyTN II WM6.1 ROM code for Hutchison ‘3’ Network customers
ROM version: 3.29.861.0
ROM date: 05/15/08
Radio version: 1.65.16.25
Protocol version: 25.83.40.02H
Date: 2008-06-02 Category: ROM Upgrade
I found the ROM development page and the list of radios that relate to the specific ROM's match the ones I already have (note: I already flashed my phone using the one in the link I provided in my first post).
I went and registered for HTC E-Club and went to download the WM6.1 ROM u mentioned Sanchez and when I entered the Serial Number it says the ROM is unsuitable for my phone. Is this because it is NOT an Australian phone?
Would this ROM actually work on my phone and would I be able to get a copy of it from somewhere else?
yeah, its not the actual ROM so much as the stuff Three bundle within that you need.
I'm aka Dr.Nerdlinger on whirlpool, a guy I recommended this to didn't have any problems, seemed to make his US Tilt into an Aussie Three TyTnII.. Havent tried it myself as Im already three branded.

The ROM I posted the link to doesn't ask me for a "serial" when I've flashed it..
I assume you have run the Connection Setup wizard (Settings > Connections > Connection Setup?
Have you tried to manually enter 3's settings?
Perhaps flash the latest Hyperdragon III http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397121
It has a suitable radio for Australia and I flashed this recently on a TyTn II purchased in Malaysia and all worked fine (as did the ROM I referred to earlier)
Ok but to flash to that (being a cooked ROM) dont I have to do something before I can flash to that? Is it HardSPL I have to install or something like that?
Yes... Unlock and flash a hard spl...
It is quite easy
Excellent directions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356895
I am in no way an expert with these devices but I have had no problem that hasn't been quickly resolved.
perhaps unlocking the phone may resolve your problem with flashing the 3 shipped ROM.... (again, no expert here)
Ok seems this is not gonna work. I've done some reading and apparently the board it to blame for my phone not working properly. Since it was an eBay job (but from a company) I can still get warranty but I have to send overseas to HK.
What do people think, I can buy a new TytnII for $659 and when the old one comes back from warranty I can sell it. Would the new one (if I bought from Australian store) work on 3G?
Unless it's faulty hardware, it shouldn't need a return. Don't spend your cash just yet
Try this new official 3.34.721.2 WWE HTC rom, with 1.70 radio.
Download it, plug your activesync cable in, run the exe file you downloaded - after 20 mins or so, you should have the latest ROM, with built in Aus Three Network detection (assuming you have a legal 3 sim-card)
(ps. it may seem like its stalled while flashing, but just give it time)
Report back if successful
Downloaded and installed last night - doesnt seem to have made any difference

After Flashing a ROM you should always hard reset the device as well. After all this is done, what versions of the following are showing as being installed: ROM, Radio, SPL (can find the last one in the tri colour boot screen - read the wiki if you need to know how to get to the boot screen)? If all of this is showing correctly and you're still having problems then it's probably something like the sim (just any old sim won't do and it needs to be compatible with the phone). You could try another if you have a spare. When you switched it on, after a minute or so did you get a message popping up asking if you wanted to automatically configure the phone for your networks settings?
Hi I'm new around here. Thanks to the NOOB install guide I could install a great rom from this site. It worked great... untill I made a call. I called someone and after the call I couldn't call anyone untill I soft reseted the phone. I tried to install another rom for the kaiser and I even tried the wm 6.5 rom. They all work but after 1 call the call function cuts working. Is this an common problem?
Could someone help me
you're obviously new here, so welcome!
somehow, i think you're under the impression that we are mind readers
did you search here on the forum? did you read the wiki? which particular flashing guide for noobs did you follow? which ROMs EXACTLY did you try?
what i mean to say is BE PARTICULAR and DETAILED in your posts...and this is a NECESSITY if you are starting a new thread...which really doesn't seem appropriate (yet) because your issue SEEMS to be caused by an unmatched radio version and/or SPL version...BOTH SPL version and radio version must be versions that are meant for windows mobile 6.1/6.5 if you tried 6.1/6.5 ROMs. i have a feeling your SPL is one meant for windows mobile 6.0...another possibility is that the ROMs you tried DID NOT come with a radio (some ROMs do, some ROMs don't) and so your radio version might also be one meant for windows mobile 6.0.
please read the wiki to find out how to determine your radio version and your SPL version...then post back here
you might want to re-read the noob flashing guide also
and to reiterate, always be detailed and always SEARCH thoroughly
good luck
same problem
I have exacly the same problem.
I used Kaiser Unlocker V2.0 Made by Olipro - 2008
The phone actually dials the numbers but there is no sound either out or in.
also when recieving a txt message the vibrate remains on contant.
My Kaiser is running WM6.1
operator v 24.328.1.610
Rom version 3.28.61.0 WWE
date: 05/02/08
Radio Version 1.70.OliNex
protocol version 25.65.30.04H
Honestly i'm less than a neebie! Although an experenced PC engineer, I only wanted to undo the Orange SIM lock before I go overseas for 6 months to an area that only operates Cable & Wireless mobile.
Mentioned above is a note about out of date radio version, the Rom date does seem a little old for WM6.1, what should I be looking for to update the radio?
any advice is greatly recieved.
Thanks
Ian
the unlocker essentially uses a "special" radio+SPL combo that is meant for unlocking ONLY
you seem to still have the said radio version (indicated by the "1.70.OliNex" string)
so verify that your phone is indeed sim unlocked. then proceed to change your spl and radio to the recommended ones for windows mobile 6.1. the unlocking should "stick" after changing the radio+spl combo but do verify before starting and after completing the update.
nice to see you are a PC engineer so you'll have no trouble thoroughly reading the wiki (first link in my signature) and making sense of the wealth of information there on how to update your radio (get a suitable one from the "Ultimate Radio Thread" linked in my signature) and spl.
good luck!
Thanks very much, a temp radio... that makes sence.
Thanks again
Ian
