Hi, just before I launch into my first post, just like to say this forum has been an amazing source of info, I'm a new MDA compact owner and have already unlocked it, upgraded to the 1.12 ROM and applied the bigstorage patch, wow, it was actually quite easy.
My question relates to MMS functions and since upgrading and modding, I am unable to send or receive MMS on my compact. I have installed the Orange conract CAB files and I can browse the internet etc, just when I receive an MMS I get the text message telling me to go to the website and view it.
Anyone any ideas ?
Hi, Do you have a SPV M500 ? Can you tell me how you did to update it with rom Qtek or Imate ? Please...

give orange cs a ring, your mms is not enabled on your account, i bet its a new contract/sim yep??
Nope, its not a new SIM/Account, it works perfectly in another handset such as a K750i or Nokia 6680.

Its not an M500, its an MDA compact, we dont have the M500 in the UK yet. I wouldnt mind a copy of your M500 ROM though
It was pretty easy, downloaded the Qtek 1.12 rom, installed it on my laptop and it extracted itself into a temporary directory. I couldnt install straight away due to the country error so I copied the file MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe into the directory where the files were and ran that. About 20 mins later I had a brand new 1.12 rom installed with the new ROM and new RADIO etc.
I backed up the ROM using the romupdate.exe tool to my 256MB SD card, read it from the card using ntrw.exe , used hexeditor to change the appropriate strings and re-wrote it back to the card using ntrw.
Hard reset with the card installed , two mins later it asked me to press power to flash and about 15 mins later job done
I had an MDA compact with the Qtek 1.12 rom and radio and the big storage hack. I then picked what I wanted to install from the original t-mobile extended rom and job done, all done in less than an hour.
Fixed it, had to install the mms application from the extended ROM , works ok now.
If anyone wants a copy of the patched ROM, let me know and I'll upload it onto my ftp.

Hi,
Well, we have used the pmemdum tool to make a backup of imate jam rom (pmemdump 80000000 4000000 rom.raw). So the next step is "how can we use this file to flash this rom on our mda". Any idea ?
Thanks
I already did that with an imate JAM and my MDA compact you just have to overwrite the header of the imate ROM with the ORIGINAL header of your MDA Compact then use ntrw to transfer it to an SD card and get your Compact into bootloader modes with the SD inserted wait for a few seconds and it will tell you to press the power butoon to flash! :wink:
Mine worked fine! The problem is How can we copy the Radio ROM and flash that too since it seems to be a newer version?
no katsj, files are totaly diferents. there is no header, there is no more than the os (ms+extended). I tried to add my german header before without success...
No effect! When I open that files I see the rest of Jam header, so I copy my Ger header from 416b even from 485b. Nothing! And the other interesting thing in original T-mobile ROM MS starts from line 0000001190 but in that jam ROMs it starts from 0000001000 line, 190 is missing, but when I try to add missing header noting change. If any of you guys would be so kind to post normal (as it is no changes) Jam ROM made with mtty n2b tool and zipped till 20mb I would very appreciated!
OK, so now i know how use it :
Make a backup of your rom using the classic process (bootloader, mmtty and d2s but enter "d2s 80000000 4000000".
Download the backup using ntrw
Open your backup with HHD Hex editor
OPen the imate rom
Select all the imate rom (CTR+ALT+END) and edit>Copy
Close the imate rom
Go to the offset 19c on your backup
Edit>Paste
Save your backup
Transfert the backup to your SD
And now the classic process : bootloader with the SD card, power to start the falsh
You will have the classic checksum erro but it works.
That file was not uploaded by me! I didn't manage to upload my file that includes the header! But you solved the problem!
What we have to find out now it HOW TO DUMP THE RADIO ROM. iMate JAM has a newer version of both the radio ROM which is R 1.01.00 and not R 1.00.10 and also the second part of the ROM on imate is G 1337.38 and not G 1337.36 as on our MDA Compact. Any ideas how can I dump those two parts of the iMate ROM so we can fully upgrade our MDA Compact?????
Please be fast as long as I still have the iMate JAM on my hands!
Did everything as it was written here! It started to download checksum was error, but after hard reset nothing happened. Compact was dead, totally dead, black screen nothing! Thank God the boot loader was working, so I restored original ROM. Any ideas why it happened? :evil:
Ok! Jam ROM is working, but I see no dramatic changes from T-mobile. More of that, customization failed because it tried to load some Arabic settings. Was it worth it? May be somebody would post original Jam ROM from England?
Nick-II..
What did you to to get it working the second time ? I had the same "dead" problem......
The windows should be diferent... 1.0.3 WWE instead of 1.0.1 WWE for the arabic problem... give it reset just afer the first time you see the Today screen, and manualy run the cab files in the Extenden rom. with out all the arabic stuff.....
You can also leave all the stuff out you don't need, like the KSE Fax stuf.. Saves some program memory.
Cheers.
Pinooo, Mda was dead but boot loader was working, so I decide to do a pure experiment. I returned my original German ROM to Compact ( I had a copy since first English-MDA_NL ROM Flash) Then I copied it to SD using MTTY with d2s 80000000 4000000, after as it was written above. ……so I had a SD with Jam ROM, but friendly speaking I replaced it back with MDA-NL. JAM ROM was not so stable, my compact used to self reset and hanged up few times. So it is better to wait until official MDA WWE NL ROM I suppose it would be soon. Now my device working just perfectly comparing to MDA II and I am very happy with English ROM. All that dealing with Jam ROM and other stuff is just a sport to me!
Should I remove the SIMCARD During Rom Flashing?
Iwant to do an English upgrade for my MDA Compact bought in Germany.
Must I remove the Simcard first during the whole process? or can I simply do it without having to remove it?
BTW, what is MMTY? is that already in the 240,000 KB Zipped file? or should download it from somewhere?
Please help me. Thank for your help in advance.
MTTY = romupgrade.exe
And the imate JAM ROM is tottaly stable! And there is a dramatic improvement in the pictures quality and the video quality! Video is smooth and does not have those vertical brakes anymore.
I guess your copy of imate JAM ROM was corrupted since I use that ROM in my MDA for a week now and I didn't have a single Reset!

this afternoon i found an update on the swedish qtek site.
http://www.qtek.se/default.asp?nc=4484&id=127&element=0
wonder if it could be used by english speaking users? it says WWE, so i guess it is in english?
i'm uploading the unpacked installation folder to FTP now. maybe someone who knows his thing, could magic a .bat file with the correct checksum to change the carrier and language? [pinoo? ;-)]
the file is called: MA_Qtek(BrPt)_10600_116_10500_SHIP.zip
Hi there..
I will take a look... But my device is with PocketPcTechs at the moment... Getting 128MB RAM ... WOOOOOOOOOOOT

has anybody yet found out what the passwords for the rom files are?
btw, have the last ones (the imate rom for example) been cracked or did anyone blurt out the right keys?

A bad traduction :
Click on the links below in order to update your Qtek S100. Follows installationsguiden careful in order to few a correct updating.
ROM 1.06.116WWE
(updating from ROM 1.03.148WWE to ROM 1.06.116WWE)
The updating is only for Swedish sold Qtek S100 with software version 1.03.148WWE. In order to check which version you have pressures Start>Settings>System>Device information, you find the information on ExtROM version. If you try to update with another version of software can the to damage your Qtek S100.
The updating ROM 1.06.116WWE contains:
GSM-radio software
MMS client (2.0.0.20)
Caller IDS
Phone PAD Swedish T9
Updated Blåtandsmjukvara
Installationsguide ROM 1.06.116
actually it was pretty clear that qtek only offers their support to their respective customers. Nevertheless it should be quite possible to gain advantages out of an alien fw ;-)
...so it could not be used for I-mate JAM and other models.... :roll: If someone has updated the firmware pls report the "improvements"...
Regards,
Primoz
Yes and please send us (or push it on the FTP) the content of ExtROM.

Anyone upgraded yet?
Hi, has anybody yet tried out the new QTEK ROM 1.06? If so, could you be so kind to make a ROM image and put it onto the ftp? Guess that'll be way easier than finding out some passwords to change the update-files?
thank you!
Why couldnt this be installed on non-swedish qtek s100?
Seems like an normal english rom-update
Wonder what it is with the bluetooth.
Cause the stack that is installed now is way to slow.
We need the passwords so xda3nbftool can be used to change operator id. Then we get past the Country id error...
So if anybody know the passwords that would be nice...
it cant be used out-of-the-box because the upgrade tools checks for your device-id, the carrier-id (which must be the one of qtek), the language (which, as you've said would fit) and the rom versions.
Thus, at least the carrier id would be different which is enough for the upgrade prog to abort. So there are 2 work-arounds:
1.) using xda3nbf-tool which requires the rom-passwords to decode the rom, change the parameters which are checked and re-encode the rom. Unfortunately anybody knows the passwords yet
2.) do a rom backup of a succesfully upgraded qtek-device with the bootloader-method which gives you *one* file that contains all the radio, the ext-rom and the os rom. This file needs to be modified by a hex-editor (which actually means to replace the first 412 bytes from the qtek-backup with the first byte of your own backup) --> restore the edited file et voilà: it should work. Unfortunatly anybody has posted such a backup yet...
conclusion:
way 2) is easier (at least we dont need any passkeys) nevertheless we still need that backup...
regards,
André
sorry, my upload was broken... should be ok now. the file is called MA_Qtek(BrPt)_10600_116_10500_SHIP.zip and you can find it in the Magician folder on the xda-ftp. it's basically just the unpacked installer.
could anybody tell me how to write a proper .bat file, like the one pinoo did for the i-mate rom? i suppose i need to change the 0x20040522... numbers to stop the installer giving the "invalid checksum" error?
...and reading the last post these numbers seems to be the passwords Guest was talking about...
any chance of getting them?
Be careful with this ROM. I tried to install it and now my Compact is dead . I can't reflash it anymore even from SD card. Tried everything and now it is in service-center. They are triing to fix it but still with no success ((
BTW you can install Radio ROM without any passwords and xda3nbf. Just remove all other .nbf files from directory and run update - and everything is OK without any mistakes. Problems appears after other upgrades (nb and mk_).

Just upgraded my Imate Jam radio stack to this one and seems that it improved phone sound quality a lot or am I just hoping so ?!
However no problems with upgrading the radio stack only!

English T-Mobile MDA Compact ROM provided by Nowicom at last! - Wednesday 8 December
Nowicom have at last provided their customers with an English version of the MDA Compact / i-Mate Jam ROM for their customers to download and install. The procedure requires a blank SD card and an SD Card Reader, and a lot of downloading time! There are two files to download:
1 - The ROM itself (230MB). http://www.nowicom.com/dl/mda_compact_upd_en_1.zip
2 - The installation tools and guide (24Mb). http://www.nowicom.com/dl/mda_compact_upd_en_2.zip
The procedure involves copying the ROM onto your SD card using the ntrw tool and your card reader, inserting the card into your phone and flashing the phone. More information on the subject can be found in this thread, except it appears that you don't need to go through the process of using the hex editor if you use the Nowicom version of the ROM - it's a one-size fits all solution. Good luck! Please use the forum for any queries you have.

I get lots of "Page cannot be found". I'll try later...
I tried to restore my original T-Mobile ROM using my sd-card according to the manual in this thread. I used the ntrw tool (2.0) to write to my sd-card. This went fine, it wrote the nb1 file on the disk.
After that I hard-resetted my MDA Compact (Camera+Power+soft reset), but it didn't start downgrading my ROM. In fact, it didn't start anything!
It reaches the bootloader mode (dark screen with serial on it), but then it doesn't start anything from my sd-card.
I tried 3 different cards, but no result.
Anyone the same problem and/or know a solution?
T Mobile MDA Compact does not open, need HELP!!!
Hello everyone,
I'm new to this board and I read nearly all threads about MDA. I bought my T Mobile MDA Compact 2 weeks ago from Germany. Yesterday while I was trying to change its language to English its locked. I installed Windows 2003 SE then device restarted but not open anymore. Now I can not open it. When I try to open it on the top of the screen it writes "Seial" and at tthe bottom it writes "1.00 Version". What should I do? I need immediate assistant; can anybody help me to make my MDA Compact working again?
Thanks

This is a ROM update package.
Any ideas what actually happens to the rom?
Extrom looks to me like blueberry is integrated; seems to be settings for austria though. Confirmations on that?
Greetings
i just installed the new rom... works fine so far... but i'm missing something.
if a gprs connection is established, than there is no disconnect button... is there a trick to get this button back?
@tko
to sort out that problem i once found the following :
Orange_GPRS_Desconnect.sa
It`s a .cab file, once installed the disconnect works fine again!
Greetings

nice thax
This ROM upgrade works fine for me too. But I haven't installed anything from the Ext_ROM yet (on purpose).
works also quite nicely on my device, i only installed the new Camera Program from the Ext Rom, nothin' else.

Anybody tried to apply the BigStorage Hack with this BB-Update ?

@hrb: You're probably unable to read... so no further sense in making it any clearer for you WITH WORDS.
I have searched read and looked all over the board.
The problem very specific.
I have a stock MDA Compact with the T-Mobile Software installed.
I want to convert the phone to its O2 equivalent with all the bells and whistles.
Whats the best way to go about this?
Is there a UK O2 rom i can simply upgrade the unit with?
What extended Rom software do i install?
Thanks.
Backup your important data, hard reset your phone, and let the phone have its OS reinstalled. As you just finished the security (pin) setup page, soft reset your device (e.g. when it pop up a window saying that it will install etc etc software).
Get the O2 ROM from the xda-dev ftp, and install everything in the Exetended ROM, and you should have your O2 eqv.

I got the files from the ftp yes. Unfortunately the Extended rom is read only, how do i edit the attributes?
i can also install from an SD card, but i want to have these files permanently in the ext rom.
thanks again Hanmin
You should execute the O2 cabs from your sd-card. Or permanently flash you rom with the O2 rom to get them in your ext-rom. The ext-rom is read only & can only be written by flashing your rom or turning it into BIG Storage. To flash your rom to O2 you need MAUgradeUT_noid & the description from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade
Regards, M
Doh, of course how could i forget, the very definition of ROM, read only.
Well i executed the Autorun from the SD Card, but its installed all the T-Mobile stuff again, (which still resides on the ROM).
I would execute the cabs individually from the sd but im not sure which are meant to be installed for my network.
After a few errors running the upgrade previously your instructions have now worked.
albeit i had to put the phone in bootloader mode after step 5 and before step 6

How do i go about this? ( ie Keep the ext_rom )
I gather its the same as flashing a big storage ROM to the phone excepts the nbf will have the O2 files i want instead?
Thank you all for your time

It's only possible if you find a dumped rom or a shipped-rom which is the version as the one you had before. Maybe your provider has a shipped-rom on its web-site? Or take a look at the ftp and maybe you're lucky to find one. If you find a shipped-rom it's easy, connect via usb & start the exe file. If you've got a dumped rom you need to change the header of the downloaded with your own device's header, write everything to sd & have the bootloader update the rom.

The have the autorun starting files on sd, you need to edit it a little. It got hard-coded path & filenames and some instructions to prevent userinput (thus locking the keys & keyboard).

Now you got me puzzled. Do you want the O2 CE-rom or just the ext-rom & keep the TMO network settings? Cause the CE-rom isn't much different for all providers, it's the ext-rom that does the customizing & changes the network settings.
So if you want an O2 ext-rom with TMO network settings I suggest you first write down your TMO settings for gprs, voicemail, mms & sms & then flash it to O2. You might even try to update the ext-rom only. It's possible to update to radio by supplying the radio.nbf only to the romupdateso I think it's possible to update the ext-rom by itself too. Can't remember the nbf name, but nk.nbf is your CE-rom & that makes only one left, isn't it.
You can use WinCECabmanager (10 trial executions) to see what's in all those cab-files.
Good luck to all of you, M
I think frantyk meant that he wants to keep the original t-mobile (mda compact) ROM while installing the customization (ext rom), such that the 'OS' is relatively the same while having O2 stuff in it.
Anyway, I think if you downloaded the correct O2 ext rom, you can install everything one-by-one manually, it shouldn't give any conflict. I'm not sure why, when you run Autorun, it install t-mobile stuff, probably the autorun is pointing to the ext rom.
You can unlock the the wizard ext rom unlocking cab, delete everything in your ext rom (MAKE A BACKUP FIRST), and copy the O2 stuff in. You should able to 'lock' the ext rom back in place. Then hard reset your device, you should have everything, including O2 stuff installed. I unlocked my ext rom before, but I can't remember if this is the one I used. --- IMPORTANT --- I've unlocked my ext rom with this cab before, but my device is a HTC Charmer, which is very compatible with Wizard. I'm NOT SURE IF IT WORKS ON MAGICIAN. You may want to look around the forum to find a ext unlocker for Magician, just to be safe.
The Magician ext-rom can't be unlocked, only flashed or turned into BIG Storage. Though I think you can flash the ext-rom only, the safest way it to flash the whole rom with an O2 shipped-rom. This will be the only way to get the correct ext-rom being executed after a hard-reset. Indeed the autorun contains a path & is unusable from sd without changes.
BTW not many people want the O2 stuff, I guess it's about network settings only. Which are on the web too, can't remember where :-(
M
What i want is the Standard CE software (ie no branding what so ever) which i think i have achieved with in flashing the phone with Shipped ROM WWE_11300_550_11200 - although it has the Qtek boot logo.
Im also using some of the Cabs from Extended Rom O2Mini_WWE_1.11.922
Why does this Ext_Rom not have and network auto config for O2 UK? Where can i get and Auto config cab for UK O2?
I want to use the phone mainly with an O2 Sim card, so i need al the O2 settings for GPRS and that, 2nd priority is having the T-Mobile GPRS settings cab for when i occasionally change chips but this is less essential that the O2 settings.
What does WWE stand for? My guess was XXEuropean?
Thanks
OK, unbranded CE is either the mentioned QTEK or any BIG Storage rom. Don't worry about the splash that can changed very easily.
WWE means World Wide English.
The network settings can be found here http://www.cctvsafe.com/support/phone_settings.htm
