I flashed my MDA about a week ago, and thanks to this forum (everybody), and XCPUScalar, I have a unit that boots up a full 80 seconds faster (from about 190) runs substantially faster, like getting immediate response from Pocket Informant instead of waiting 8 or so seconds, and has needed no soft-resetting since I upgraded (although one should do it on occaision, so I do). I have installed about 35 apps, and that process was cut from a few hours to less than two (with distractions).
I have one issue, and it probably isn't the MDA. My WiFi won't connect with my XP home workgroup network. I'm looking into that. Any help would be welcomed.
Did I mention I'm a newbie? And if you haven't done this yet and you're having a hard time finding instructions, there all in the installation file, just make your backups and jump in, but make sure you have the right ROM/hardware combo and phone service.
Is a MDA the same as a Cingular 8125?
Which ROM did you use?
What did you use to backup?
I'm a newbie also. I want to do this. I've been reading this forum for 2 weeks. I still don't have much of a clue. If I was certain that I could get back to where I am if I screwed up, I'd be more willing to "jump in". I have flashed routers before so it's not totally foreign to me.
Thanks for any help/advice that you are kind enough to throw my way,
Porter
Which ROM is this?
Yes. Could you identify this marvelous ROM?
yes, i love her, too.
Since I've not heard about an update to XCPUScalar which supports OMAP processors, I think this guy has got the wrong forum.
you say you love the rom! But which ****ing rom do you mean exactly?
Sorry. T-mobile USA 2.24 Custom ROM
Here's the link that got me there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=53300&highlight=tmobile+motorola
There is another ROM for other service providers (Cingular) that I hear is just like this one but has a higher number, like 3.x. There is a link in the thread on page 7 or so. ??? There is also a newer version of the T-Mo USA ROM available, but I can't reflect on that.
The MDA also goes by the Name MDA vario, Qtek 1900 (I think), and Wizard. I don't know of any other names. I learned this by searching for leather cases on Ebay. The pictures said it all. I highly recommend being sure you know all the names, particularly the HTC name, of your unit before trying to tell it with a new ROM what model it is. If they don't match, you could mess up irreparably, although there are developers here who might argue about the irreparable part, I don't have the skills or time they do.
Read, be sure it all matches, and *then* thake the plunge!
Hey, the XCPU Scalar works. ???
I am one of those people who is willing to try unheard-of things. ImmierSoft made my MDA go faster, I don't particularly care how.
And I'm not a guy.
XCPUScalar uses a different processor than what the Wizard uses. Unless you are imagining things, you are probably using a ppc other than the Wizard.
Did it not appear that I understood...
... the processor types were different? It's not helpful to be condescending for you or for the person you're talking to. It's Immiersoft's XCPUScalar, and a T-Mobile MDA (US), which is the Wizard. There are certain things I can do woth the software to make the unit crash.

Why so negative?
I'm signing off of this forum
I'm pretty fed up with the lack of social skills on this forum, particularly the moderators. I personally can't afford to risk/try this kind of hard work at this point in my life. If you have further questions, please search the forum, there are likely some sort of answers to your question. (e.g. looking up the latest ROMs for your model to see what's available to you rather than asking me what I'm talking about. thanks all for your interst and time!
...nevermind...
Janis, if you have a Wizard (and not, for example, a Magician - check the pics on the forum index) then XCPUScalar has no effect on your processor speed. I checked their website, and they still do not support OMAP processors. XCPUScalar is designed for (Intel) XScale processors (and one other type, which escapes me) - it is not a generic ARM overclocker. So far, only OMAPclock is able to overclock the OMAP processor in the Wizard.
I also think some people on this forum should grow up and stop acting like children when someone says something they don't like, or in a manner they do not like. I don't see your reasoning, Janis, behind "spitting the dummy out" when someone wants to know what exactly you are talking about when you start a brand new thread with no reference to anything solid in the body of it.
What is funny though, the first post of Janis contained comments and 1 question:
"I have one issue, and it probably isn't the MDA. My WiFi won't connect with my XP home workgroup network. I'm looking into that. Any help would be welcomed."
Maybe one of you "experts" could try to answer or help on that one........
wifi problem
i just upgraded to the Tmobile 2.26 ROM and also have the same wifi problem... my wifi wont connect to my dlink 900AP access point. It was working fine before the upgrade. Any ideas? Thanks
Not sure if this is the case, but I'll give it a shot.
If you just upgraded your ROM, I believe it wipes out any registry settings you had previously changed.
In the case of a wifi network, if you're running an 802.11g-only network then you will have to go back in to the registry of your Wizard and enable 802.11g on the Wizard for it to connect.
You'll also need to re-enter any network keys as they were wiped out as well.
Like i said the processor for XCPUScalar is for XScale, not OMAP (which is what the Wizard uses). I'm sorry if you took my comment in the wrong manner and took it personally.
As for the question in your original post, well check to see which network you are on (G, B, or mixed). The Wizard is originally set on B without registry changes (unless T-Mobile fixed this). If you have set your wireless network setup with a password, try setting up your network without a password just to confirm if a connection can be made and your problem is a security issue. If that doesn't work, I find that making registry changes to the MDA for a G connection works perfectly whenever I try this. Just make sure you set your router on the G network and try again. Also try to set you wireless connections on your phone to performance and see if that changes anything.
And for the others don't judge me. How many times have I asked for help and got no response or a negative one. I don't even recall ever getting a thankyou for helping anyone on this site. Everyone tends to ask for help then I never hear from them again. Sound familiar? I thought so.
I decided to edit out my venting ... doesn't do any good ...
btw, I agree that you should check out your registry settings regarding the WiFi.....
"Hey guys, this ROM is great!!"
"Which ROM?"
"**** you!!"
I’ve found a mint piece of software that no Kaiser owner should be without.
It comes with a trial period and u should check it out.
I was looking for some software that would help secure my phone and came across this. http://www.wimp-software.co.uk)
It’s supposedly designed to help you find your phone (yeh right, I aint gonna lose my £500 phone) but me and my mate have had a **** load of fun with it.
It’s pretty cool.
If you read the instructions, you can basically text the phone, but the other person doesn’t get the text message. The software grabs this coded text message and sends you back the gps position of the phone. It also gives you a link to google maps which is great if you’ve got Opera installed on your phone. (Don’t try PIE, it doesn’t work)
I gotta say, I’ve seen a lot of cool software around, but this one is SO cool. I only wish my girlfriend had a Kaiser. I could have so much fun with this.
The only thing I would add to the software though, is to know I was being WIMPED. Maybe a little SMS noise, or the icon changed or something, but I do suppose that it was written for phone theft. I haven’t tried it yet, but it also claims that if you change the SIM card in the phone it’ll SMS you with the number of the new SIM card.
sounds kinda cool!
All I can say is try it out. WIMP yourself lol. It's kinda fun finding out where you are
You gotta check this out - track your phone!
This is a great bit of kit - I just tried this out on my Eten M700 and gave it to my girlfriend whilst she went to the shop. I could text her and see exactly where she was - it sent me back:
Latitude:51°24.740913'N
Longitude:2°29.562757'W
Speed: 0 MPH
Satellites: 9
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=51.41234855,-2.49271261666667+(PHONE+LOCATION)&t=h&z=19
You've gotta try this out!
Yeh, same here, but mine was only where I was
I really wish my girlfriend had a WM6 phone with GPS.
Big brother, here we come.
lost phone
I can imagine this would be handy if I lost my phone (again). I accidently misplaced my last phone - at £500 a pop you can't do that too often. With this I would have been able to find exactly where it was, even if someone changed the SIM
WIMP and IIWPO on one phone would rock!
That's a brilliant idea.
I'm gonna email them and put a few enhancement requests in.
This is one of the best bits of software I've seen for ages, and I reckon the IIWPO would also benefit the software.
I've done a bit of googling and they must be fairly new as I can't find much on the software, but I'll keep you updated to see if I get a response.
not gonna be possible until the good chaps here work out how to unlock the extrom of the kaiser or something like that I would imagine - it needs to be installed again on hard reset to be of any theft recovery value.
I've seen it done on things like my Athena, so I don't think it will be long till it happens
eventually... yes.
Can't wait for IIWPO for my kaiser, sure I have it insured, but I would have to bring swift, brutal retribution in person on anyone who stole my beloved black beauty.
But being able to track them with it even when they weren't at the home address they typed in would maybe help get it back sooner, and open up ambush possibilities
Very true. I reckon it wont be long till they add it in personally.
I've seen loads of software out there that does SIM change notification, and owner change notification, but not the whoie package, including GPS location.
I think these guys are on to a winner, and I for one am certainly gonna buy this.
What can I say, It's mint!
wow, this is an awesome idea. i plan to try it out once i get my phone for sure. great find.
Brilliant find and brilliant software. I too will be trying this when I get my phone!
Talk about impulse buying.
I just bought it. It costs £10 GBP and you need to provide them with your email address and your IMEI number. The website only accepts paypal (not a problem for me)
The cool thing is as soon as the PayPal payment went through it came back immediately with the unlock code.
What can I say, I'm impatient, but it's great.
Interesting
So... I played around with it and it rocks... I am definately buying this.
Made me realize something kinda scary.... Just follow me for a second here.
The Kaiser has everything.......
1. Cameras on both sides.
2. GPS
3. A Microphone
3. A record of our:
A. Internet browsing History
B. Contact Info
C. Call History
D. Almost all of our personal info... (Depending on how we use it)
4. And... last but not least... and the most important... the ability to be connected to the net all the time...
With all these features... and a program that runs on a personal computer that connects to the phone via the web and can operate all of the above features, but not letting the phone user know the features are in operation.... turns the kaiser into the perfect spy device, or, BIG BROTHER bug.
Think about it... With the right aplication, one could know, where you are, what you look like, what your doing, what your saying, and any personal info you choose to store on your kaiser.
Kinda scary huh????
JB
I definately wish my girlfriend had a kaiser now
Absolutely valid points there JB. I reckon all software developers for mobile phones should check out this site. Then we would end up with the ULTIMATE bit of anti-theft, big brother, all singing and dancing software

no need to worry, she is just fine, im taking good care of her
sounds like good software though, cant wait to get my kaiser and try this out on it.. sounds cheap enough to buy anyway..
Very cool app, I loaded it and gave it a spin. Sent it the code and watched the Kaiser wake, spark up the orange GPS indicator for about 20 seconds and within about 1 minute my other phone received the text message with Lat/Lon and Google Map Link. I only wish there were a way to do this from a PC, the google link would be a lot easier to work with then.
I purchased the prog. Two Issues;
1 - The Wimp web site asked for my IMEI number but their form accepted all but 2 digits of my code. Their site processed my order and emailed me a s/n code which is now not accepted by the prog. I've got an email in to their support folks.
2 - This prog places an icon in the task bar at the bottom of the screen. I don't like any icons there. Is there a way to get rid of that Icon and allow access to the prog thru an Icon/Link placed in "Settings" or "Programs"?
Other than that, I never would have believed that there could be such a clever and small application!
Edit, Tech support sorted the code by re-issuing a new code based on my full IMEI, their site is new and just getting started. Their response was really quick. Also you can enter the app and select "quit", the app will clear from the task bar, BUT, it will still respond to the code request. After a request, the icon will return to the task bar, hmmm a way to know if you've been "Wimped"
Also, I also tried it one time when a fix was not possible. It woke and tried to get a fix for it's allotted time period (3min default setting). After the timeout, it sent a text message telling me that it could not get a fix. So at least you would know that the phone is talking to you!
hi Guys,
i have been scouring the site and i have found lots of info on getting a quick fix on the GPS and which radios work best, i have downloaded lots of radios, tried different roms but no matter what i try, I cant get a fix PERIOD. i have also googled to try and find out if the GPS itself is a replaceable part on the tilt but no info seems to be available, having said that I would definately appreciate any input, i have tried stuff like GPSgate, GPSproxy, HTC GPS tool, GPSTest, VisualGPSce, QuickGPS, QuickPosition and NONE of those tools has shown me what a GPS fix looks like, I have seen up to 8 satellites on the HTC tool, they show up and dance around for about 1 or 2 minutes and then dissapear never to be seen again until after a reboot of the phone.
i have also borrowed a friends Tilt, and placed them side by side, and watched his phone get a fix in about 1 minute, and then stuck around for about 20 more minutes and then finally end the test in frustration.
is the GPS a replaceable part?
any input would be greatly appreciated
Phone: AT&T branded TILT
ROM:Ultimate-X2.V11.Premium (wm6.5)
RADIO:1.71.09.01
Protocol:25.75.40.02.eMoH
My advice to you would be to just keep trying to find a radio ROM that works for you. I recently got a Tilt, and I flashed some odd 5 or 6 radios before I found one that enabled WiFi and GPS for me. Ironically, its the one you are currently using xD.

No but the antenna sticker (with fragile embedded tracks) is. That said, you mentioned you still get greyed out satelite details showing and changing in your nav software so that may not be an issue (you've not mentioned if this sticker above the battery bay has been disturbed at all). If you are worried about whether your new setup has contributed to the problem, the answer is simple, was it working OK before you changed the ROM/Radio or SPL from original WM 6.0?
Oh and welcome to the forum illspamu - I hope you don't live up to your name

@ashakur
thank you, havent given up I know there is a radio out there for me.
@Flying Kiwi
thanks
I am a total newb to this, so this info about the antena is something i need to check, it is worth mentioning that i did buy this tilt with a broken screen so someone probably used it for a hockey puck, its been a great phone minus the GPS but I recently became demanding and want to see it working.
the GPS has never worked beyond showing me some satelites for a couple of minutes and its been the same regardless of ROM/Radio.
about the handle, worry not, its amazing how an email address like that can keep spammers off

my apologies ashasaur for mispelling your name,
I've "inherited" this thing when my parents emigrated to another continent lol, thought what a hell see if I could get it running. Been searching for a solution for a good 5+ hours, no luck so far.
it gives me "Cannot find 'Update' (or one of its components)" error on startup and does not proceed further
It has no branding and nothing to identify it by even the box offers no clues I can't post any images but it's basically a 7 inch touchscreen portable gps
lol background has earth in the background and satellite in the foreground if it helps
The only clues I've got is it's running win ce (no idea which version),it's a gps device lol and it's suppost to be running iGo software (found it on micro sd)
It would be great if someone could give me a lead on what to do since I've got no idea what to do
So Since I really had no idea what gps it was I've cracked it open...
Turns out it's running on MT3351CNA, as far as I could find out it's arm11 running at 500Mhz
Found another number printed on the board "YG-918C V1.1"
hmmmmm

using that info I eventually came across a russian tutorial on how to restore one of these, fortunatelly for me I could skip half the steps to get it working.
Hello,
I am having the same problem as yourself, with the same GPS model as yourself!
I think I even found the russian forum where you found your solution, however the links now require a paid membership to view, so I was hoping you could help me. Did you find the correct firmware version, and how did you go about the actual flashing?
Thanks
Hi guys,
I should say to start off that I have next to zero knowledge concerning head units so forgive me if I'm a bit slow off the mark! Anyway, I recently bought a head unit, not sure who the manufacturer is but the manual says s200 and it says it's a px5 in the system info.
The problem I'm having is that I can't get android auto to connect through zlink. I've seen a few videos of a guy on YouTube doing it with relative ease but my attempts are only met with the same frustrating message "phone not found".
Any help would be greatly appreciated and any further information you need I'll do my best to attain.
Thanks in advance!!
Hi,
I am currently looking for informations about these units, too. So I I stumbled across the info that the hardware for android auto is present, however, a special activation licence has to be bought.
Source: An alibaba listing, I can't post the link as I did not post 10 postings yet. If it is relevant for you, send me a pm.
So maybe you want to ask your seller, wheather it should already be activated, or some additional steps need to be taken.
