Debranded MDA Compact II ROM, 'Qtek' Style

now obsolete
new aku2 here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279908

so am i right in presuming that the gprs settings and phone settings are present in the rom? if not, how do we find them?
ALSO:
T-Mobile are releasing a rom update this month (ie this coming week!) so it might be worth looking at what they have done, not just for wifi fix but any other maintenence changes. Apparently they do alot of testing on their roms so there might be useful stuff there.

t-mobile gprs and wap settings are part of the extended rom. the 3 cabs files that begin CAB-Customization-...
i didnt include them as i'm on O2. This is more like a 'Qtek' version for the charmer, a universal version. doesnt include any operator specfic content.
looking forward to that update, hopefully its aku2, everyone else is releasing theres at the moment.

SDIO
What about SDIO drivers in this debranded OS?

so if i back up my current rom cabs and then install this, if it all goes pearshaped, i can relaod the origional and not end up with an expensive paperweight?
i wanna do the deed, but am scared as hell with it being my first PPC and only a few weeks old at that.
but anything to speed it up, its like im running windows or something.......
oh!
:wink:

only way you could mess up is if you pull the plug or have a power cut! while uploading the new os. remember to backup all your contacts and stuff as you'll need to hard reset.
you can start all over again if it doesnt boot or something by using the install package on the t-mobile site
http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/download_manager_mda_com2.html
just go into the phones bootloader, with the phone off, hold down camera and plug in the sync cable until the 3 color boot screen comes up and run the install package to go back to factory.

It worked!!
Dear dave106 and all;
i tried your fantastic upgrade yesterday. This was my experience:
1- I works like charm!
2- you might find it easier to use Total commander to uncheck 'system' and 'read-only' in the properties of the windows folder on your charmer, before Unlocking CID (to avoid any error).
3- alternatively you might use Lockiwiz 2b from this forum to unlock and unlock CID first.
4- the ROM upgrade went fine, showed some error messages on the charmer screen (nothing to worry about) but did not indicate an end. I unplugged it after 20 minutes. It rebooted on itself et voila, it was up and running.
5- Changing the boot scrren went very smoothly.
6- I noted that the T-mobile customization (after the new config.txt) did not install at all. I had to manually install the CAB listed in the config.txt file to reload the MMS and GPRS settings.
But now my charmer has no T-mobile crap on it...
However, i did not notice any dramatic change in speed....

Ill check your unbraded rom for wifi sdio capabilities over the next few days (on a 'just in case' basis). I'm just recovering from a totally borked pagefile on my main pc so ive been too busy to try as of yet.

is this howto working on that device ?

thats a wizard, so you can just cid unlock it and install the imate or qtek wizard roms. the mda compact 2 is unique to t-mobile no other operator has it.

aeh....your sentence sounds strange to me, is it possible for my device or not ?

try it now, some tit nuked the uploads again

Got the Rom Working, the difference is quite noticable. Re wrote the extended ROM to auto customise just enough to get the MMS and GPRS to work correctly. Did any one work out if a WiFi card SD card will now work?
Would like to know before i buy one!

Ive Killed IT

i tried upgrading to wm2005 and it works fine as a pda and for satnav but dosent work as a phone, it will not get anysignal and when it lodsa sometimes in the corner it shows the a redio version other times it willl show just the rom, ive tried upgrading just the radio, ive tried upgrading it all, ive tried returning it to standadrd and it just wont accept anything? ant help anyone? i just want it back to standard.

come one people, 65 views and not one reply? someone must be able to help? i remember when this place used to be helpful.

What operator are you on? All of the recent ROMs do not work on Orange UK. The phone and txt message functionality is broken.
As for not showing the ROM version, this always happens after a crash. Just reset again as soon as you see "NONE".

am a bit lost here.
am on orange UK and evreything works ok with this rom.
just thought i point that out.
opps,thats all rom's since mid november
TEXT,PHONE BLUETOOTH WIFI.

Before you complain that users cant help you, try helping yourself. You will find that people are more willing to invest their time then!

Wierd, you are the first to come forward to say that it works fine for you. Myself and a couple of other users haven't been able to get reliable telephony for months now. It may be a regional thing, perhaps only in Scotland. I've had replacement phones and I still have problems.
No one seems interested in helping as it's not something that can be easilly tested unless you have the problem yourself.

i was looking for hte downgrade link ill give that a go tomorrow, as tot he person that said i should try helping, how can i help if i dont know anything? we all need to learn and start somewhere. think ill be staying away from here with my spvm600 if thats the attitude this place is takeing.

Hey, it wasn't intended at you, obviously. What I was basically saying was that if you have the same problem, then don't expect a fix as it's a tough one to fix.

could it happen that you are one of those who downloaded the rom which someone had the gall to replace the original one? which rom upgrade did you use?

i cant remmeber what rom it was that i used now as it was about 2 months ago i done it, ive tried the downgrade link that was posted and when i open maupgrade it dosent see any rom on my device or any in the folder and when i click up grade it takes about 10 sconds then says tis done, which is obviously isnt dont, any mroe ideas please people?

use one of the latest (i.e. helmi's or xplode's) and upgrade again. be sure to follow the instructions (including that for device data, and the no/yes/yes input). make sure also you were able to download the whole file (it was a problem for some users).
you might also want to upgrade your radio version (1.15.00).
good luck.

Bluetooth broken after installing WM6

Hi all,
Finally WM6. Great!
But after installing the Tofclock ROM, my device became unstable like many others have reported. So when C_Shekar published his ROM, I installed it.
No problems on stability anymore, but after this upgrade I can no longer use my Bluetooth functions properly.
I can pair with my GPS, but as soon as I try running GPS software the device becomes slow and will reset after some time. After that, only turning bluetooth on will cause a reset, no matter if I'm paired or even using it at all.
So I re-installed the Tofclock ROM, because there I had at least GPS. But now it was no longer working there either.
Today I even downgraded to AKU3.5 and even a 'pre-historic' version of 2003 (1.70) but it does not work anymore for any of the ROMs.
Can someone please help me on this one. I understood from other posts that I'm not the only one, so it's not just my Hima. But I really would like to have my GPS back.

Which indicates that it is an hardware failure and not a software problem.
Flashing the device with another ROM version does not destroy any hardware at all.
Sascha

Thanks for your response.
But if it is just a hardware problem that can't be caused by an upgrade, how come I'm not the only person experiencing the same issue that started at the same time?
If it was just me it simply could have been bad luck.......
I'm just still not sure of my conclusions, but everything points at the upgrade to WM6. Let this be a warning!

I have not seen any similar reports in any threads before. Can you link us to specific messages?
It is very well possible that it's a software problem. After all you're probably using the same GPS/BT software in all these ROM up/downgrades you tried?
My GPS software is entirely on my SD card, after flashing a new ROM and formatting my RAMdisk it instantly knows my last position. Your software has IMHO probably messed up some file on your SD card that's related to your BT/GPS settings or so. I advice you to format your SD card, reinstall the clean GPS software on it, see if it still misbehaves.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332945&page=17
You also entered a reply back then ;-)
I will re-install my GPS software. However, I've tried other programs as well with the same result (i.e. Speed Sentry). But that might be because I tried it after a first reset. And the reboot also appears when I have a different SD card in the slot.
Right now I'm waiting for my backup battery to be empty. Who knows, a 'real' hard reset might help.

@Maggy
Seems you were right! Removing the battery didn't work so I checked my GPS program's files. I found a recently changed file for the config and after I removed it it seems to work again!
Still a big puzzle why it started when I changed to WM6. But I'm updating my ROM at this moment so I hope to be able to answer the question if it is WM6 related soon.
Thanks for the help!

You're welcome.
And yes, you're right that I replied to that post but my memory is in my PC and XDA, not in my head
It's possible that there's a tiny difference between the way the config file is written in WM6 or WM2003, so switching from one OS to the other messes the file up.
I have the good habit of formatting the SD card when I flash a ROM.
Glad this item looks solved.

Even better: it doesn't look solved, but it is solved.
I went home using my GPS! YESSSS!
Knowing this it's time I start cooking my own ROM......... thanks to all the great people at this forum.

Hello All
After having read the message, I just try TOMTOM 6 with RBT2001 and have the same problem, tomtom is very slow, and after some time soft reset.
And I have this problem with the new ROM: 7.0c.40CS (WM6 AKU 7.0)
And I had no problems with the ROM: 7.0b.40CS (WM6 AKU 7.0)
If this can help you understand the problems ?

I guess you should delete \Storage Card\ttnavigator.bif, then reinstall Tomtom

It's even much simpler: simply delete the \TomTom Navigator 6\navigator.cfg file. You'll have to redo some configuration, but it works great again.

Win2003 problem

Hi all.
Has anyone found using their original ROM that sometimes you go to phone out and there is no audio? I find the fault is typified by when you dial, you hear no dialing tactile tones from the key entry. Then the phone rings out but I hear nothing. A reboot fixes it.
Any comments?
Thanks,
Alistair.

Maybe found the fix posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=779152#120448
I've applied the CAB hope it sorts it thanks.

Have you tried switching to WM5 or 6?
I never had that problem as i changed my ROM when I first got my BA.

Well the problem seems to have gone after the previous cab install.
Re WM5/6 yes, I am quite keen but the FAQ for upgrade is unfortunately not so clear for me. For example:
The wizard takes one through the process with one ROM, no problems but other information:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...0.ROMx20.thatx20.willx20.workx20.forx20.mex3f.
Advises that I need to find out system information and search for my ROM before upgrading. So its confusing do you do the wizard and forget trying to find the correct ROM or search for your ROM - in my case I did, and its not there although my device is AU/NZ/Vodafone, so will be a very common GSM model.
Cheers,
Alistair.

Again on quickgps

Hi to all,
some days ago I've posted searching a solution to a problem that many people have, the quick gps' failure to update.
I've tried all tips and tricks suggested here and in other forums because I don't want to do a hard reset, without lucky.
I want to try a last thing. IS there anyone thar can post as attachment his quickgps.exe file (obviously someone that has the quickgps going well ) ?
I want to try to overwrite my program file and see if something changes.
I've tried to delete it with TC but I'm not able to do it. So i'll try to overwrite it.
I have an italian rom (1.37) so quickgps coming from italian friends with italian rom are especially welcome
Thanks to all for the helps that can give me.

Dunno if you've tried this already, but when mine stops working I've found that if I run Internet Explorer and go to www.htc.com wait for it to load and then try again it will then load the quickGPS data.
Works everytime for me.

You're magic !!!!!
I had also read about open internet explorer first but it gave me error anyway.
But opening www.htc.com and then using quickgps it GOES !!!!
I don't know where you live but if it happens to you to be in Rome you have a beer payed

I had the same problem and it worked for me too. I couldn't use the youtube app or quick gps
now they both work
Thanks !!
