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
AE

try a hard reset only.
Power + reset
no camera

upgrading confusion

hello,
i read so many posts on this site, that it's starting to confuse newbies.
I have a German MDA Compact, and would like to flash it with a WWE rom.
Now, i've seen some ppl suggest to use "devicedata.exe" and change the bat file etc...procedure. While others say to unzip the "upgrade.exe" and run "MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe".
Which procedure do i need to follow in order to upgrade my Mdac?
Also, which ROM image do you suggest?
thanks for your support!

I agree, totally clueless and have read so many posts and now totally confused.
Can any patient person give us a straight and simple explanation of ROM upgrading? Which ones to use, what to watch out for etc. I'm sure there's lots of people who have the same questions but don't ask.
Many thanks in advance for anyone can help.

Finally someone asks!
I upgraded my German MDA Compact to: 1.06.01 GER, Radio 1.05.00 EXT-ROM version 1.06.130 and everything works fine right now (it was an upgrade from T-mobile).
I would like to upgrade to the 1.11 WWE Rom version and also the bigstorage version without extended ROM, but I'm afraid dong that.
Anybody experience with that?
Andre

Hello to all,
can you share me that: MDA Compact to: 1.06.01 GER, Radio 1.05.00 EXT-ROM version 1.06.130
Thank you

John,
Normally if you get the official release from dangaard telecom, it's just an EXE file that you have to run and everything works fine.
If you get a country id error, then you need to download the MAupgrade_noid and you have to unzip the EXE file in the same folder as the MAupgrade_NOID.
Then in stead of BAUpgrade, you have to run MAupgrade_NOID

Hi there,
I uploaded my upgrade file to 1.06 German T-mobile (no simlock) to the ftp site. This works fine for my MDA Compact
MA_TMDE_10601_130_10500_Ship
See it here.

If its simply a MDA to MDA ROM update, you should be able to simply run the file and that should work fine, however if its a Imate / qtek / MDA German to MDA Compact its tricky stuff, but can be done.
If you are able to get hold of the required rom, you will need to extract its files and install the upgrade executable file.... easy isnt it
Ok here it goes
1. Download the Rom file
2. Right click and extract to a named folder
3. You should end up with about 6 - 8 individual files; ms.nb1, radio.nb1, nk.nb1 ruu.conf, ruu.dll, enterbl, getdevicedata and maupgradeut, the maupgradeut is the file that runs the upgrade if you were an imate user, however as a MDA user you need to get hold of the maupgradeut_noid file which could be obtained over the net or from the xda developers site.
4. Once you have this maup....noid file you will need to add this to the folder created above as this is the file needed to initiate the upgrade.
5. In activesync, click on file and connection settings and untick the USB connection.
6. Connect the phone to the USB, and run the maupdateut_noid,
7. The upgrade wizard wil start, go through a few checks then eventually come up with the coutry Id error.
8. Run the maupgradeut_noid file again and this time it should allow you to run the wizard.
9. The process should then go through 3 stages which should last about 10 - 15 minutes.
10. When finished you should get the upgrade successful notification and a prompt to reset the device
11. Hope that helps.

I like others have been confused by all the different methods and possibilities for ROM changes. I particularly am interested in the BIG ROM upgrade that gives you 27Mb more free space. However, the threads on that subject are very long and reading all the posts is confusing.
It would be great if we had a FAQ that could be a Sticky at the top of the forum. I am sure its a lot of work to compile the FAQ but it would be sad to see all the hard work in these forums not get fully utilised.
I would be hugely grateful if there was document that summarised the best methods for ROM upgrades.

on the ftp site, you need to download the procedure document, that explains everything
hth

thanks a lot to all of you guys for helping me out!
this is exactly what this forum is about.

Hi, All my first post here, How do we get acess to the ftp site for the instruction to the 27 meg bigrom when i try to go to ftp it won't get me inn.
Thanks

MDA Compact on Orange - no MMS

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.

I can't change my rom... help

I just recieved my qtek s100 and I'm so happy!!
The problem is that I bought it in france so it comes in french, so, even if it is no locked to a provider, I would love to have it in english.
I have tried to follow step by step the how to chang it, but the info I have is a bit bizarre!!
My DeviceData.txt is as follows>
U S B 6 4 1 . 0 3 . 0 2 F R E
1 . 0 3 . 1 0 2 F R E
1 . 0 1 . 0 0
So I don't know what to put in the batch file change.bat....
Can somebody help me?
I have tried also with Windows Mobile 2003 ROM editor but the password for the ext. rom is wrong... (following> http://www.spv-qtek.com/index.php?mod=tutorial&ac=InstllROM)
Please help a newbe!
Thanks!!

I suggest You take a close look at the forum. There is a file called "maupgradeut_noid.exe" available at the ftp-section. With this file, You should be able to upgrade your device, no matter what language or "provider" it had before.

Thanks!
I just downloaded this version:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Magician/MA_BP_WWE_11200_120_11200_Ship.zip

What is inside this upgrade version ??

Thanks, I also downloaded it yesterday.
Does it have the BigStorage patch already applied? I remember reading somewhere that the 'storage' folder was no longer there (indicating that is has?).

Hi,
I see that somebody has remove it from there... I don't know why.
I have it at home though, so if someone want's it, I'll be happy to send it with yousendit.com
my email is sturgis at walla dot com
I don't know about details on bigstorage and so... I'm a newbe discobering his new toy...
What I know is that I followed all the steps in this forum and I could not change the OS, and that with this one is straigh forward...
By the way, what is this big storage thing?
Where could I find a list of "must have" software for a PPC?
(1-calc, battery pack, pocket informant ...)

Just flashed my JAM with 1.12 WWE ROM and it's not patched with Bigstorage. I think a patched one is available on the FTP...
As for a 'must have' software list check out the following thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=20119
Also what I found useful is to go on the Pocket Gear website and check out their bestsellers.

Thanks to everyone !
i received my Qtek S100 yesterday and was in german. As i wanted it in English, i used the link of sturgis (first poster) to update it to english. The update didnt go well and my ROM was smoked. Couldn't boot the Qtek S100 and the update crashed every time.
I finally found the shipped ROM WWE_11200_120_11200.zip diging in the site FTP. Update went great and my Qtek is now in english !
For those who are interested, the file is located there :
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/Shipped_ROMS/
I found this forum/thread via google and you saved my day !
Thanks to you all

750v to 750 generic?

Hi All,
If I have a 750v that I already have unlocked to work with my o2 sim card - is it possible to completely remove the vodafone customised software and instead use the generic software from palm?
i.e. Palm have published an update for the treo - would I simply be able to use the generic upgrade tool to change the device to generic from the vodafone customisation?
Thanks!

You can actually.. ..it seems you're new to all this. I would suggest you to read the WiKi their you will find all the info about HardSPL en flashing ROM's using a PC or SD-Card.
Succes with your journey Their is plenty support here on XDA so it should be no problem what so ever!

Hi,
Yes still new to this all!
I had a read through most of the stuff (that's how I managed to get the phone to be unlocked!). But I'm still stumped on a couple of things:
1) Where would I get the generic update from - I can't download from palm as my serial number won't work for generic...
2) Do I have to do the update via mini sd? No cable option?
So all I basically have to do is:
1 - Hard SPL (done)
2 - get file - put on sd card and update that way?
I'm really batteling to get my head around this device - it was so easy with my k-jam!
Thanks again!

1. You can get some ROM's here in the TOM upgrade section. You won't be able to download from the official sites as most of them use a serial check to see if you're a genuine customer.
There have been only a few releases. The 6.1 works best for me.
2. You can also flash from a PC. When flashing from SD keep in mind that the file needs to be: CHEEIMG.nbh

Ok that is fine... So where would I find these rom's where is this 'TOM upgrade section'?
I'm feeling quite dumb asking these questions - I'm not usually this much of a n00b!

Here is a list of topics that contain ROM's
List of all known official WM6 releases
WM6 Normal Cooked
WM6 AKU7.0
WM6.1 WWE Lite > my personal favorite

I recommend this rom :
