Hi
I have just got my self a new T-Mobile MDA
ROM version: 1.12.00 WWE
Radio version: 1.12.00
Protocol version: 1337.42
ExtROM version: 1.12.152 WWE
I am going to be unlocking then upgrading the ROM to the standard imate rom so I can remove all branding and use my orange SIM card, I am alsl thinking of branding it like a M500 but not sure yet.
I am going to post all my experiences at doing this task to if anyone else wants to do this they can learn from me.
ok first its the unlocking
going to use the software from this great site
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=24779
also 1 question will this be permanent or will I have to do this again after hard reset/ROM change?
ok looks like everything went fine
Code:
xdadev_all_unlock started
device=PM10A
key found
ril ioctl 0xc2: 00000000
simlock answer: %SIMLOCK= 01
0
current lock status: 01
security answer:
000
security answer2:
setting lock 01
htclock answer:
removing lock 01
htclock answer:
simlock answer: 0
0
%SIMLOCK= 00
0
now my orange SIM works fine
next is the hard task, putting in the ROM.
going to read up on this so might be a while before I start anything, any tips on getting through this would be great
ok after a bit of playing around with the MDA I have decied not to change the ROM just yet. I have been using the trick to stop the T-mobile settings being installed.

I found the file called config in the extended_ROM area, to access the extended_ROM you need to hardreset the device and then when you see the home screen for the first time soft reset quickly before and custom software installs.
well so far I have been playing around with loads of diffent settings, lots of hardresets to find the best combination of software to install
so far the only t-mobile software I have installed is the camera software as when you start the camera it automaticaly turns onto landscape mode which I like
has anyone got any sugestions on anyother software I should use?
SPB?
Orange M500 Advice
I have just bought an Orange M500 and have done nothing with it yet... i'm sure i am on the Standard 1.06 release of the rom, but would like to upgrade to 1.12 - what do i need to do this? there seem to be so many guides available, i just need to find one which will work and will let me keep the orange settings.
I also want to free up some storage space (i have a 1gb card so can happily move programs onto this) but with all the orange software, or ext rom, there is only 5mb of ram left for running programs.
Can anyone offer any advice or guidance??
Thanks
@beckett1
Hey there, what cab is it that you use for the camera to make it go landscape.
I have a MDA III and it does not do that for me, i have noticed that on my dad's MDA Compact he can do it, i'm not sure that it will work for the MDAIII but i might as well try because i think it looks good.
Can you attach this CAB as an attachment to this thread?
Very much appriciate it.

Hi itwasntme187
I used the cab file that can with the MDA, but you can find it on the ftp.
amartin13:
I found the if you do the hardreset and then softreset trick you can then install only the needed items, to geet you orange mms and grps setting just make sure you run CAB-Customization-Magician-OrangeUK-13Jan05.sa.CAB
I found some help on the differnt files in the orange roms here I have used thids list to only install the bits a really need
I will post soon about the best combination of software I have used.
Hi,
Hardware: Vodafone VPA compact/T-Mobile MDA compact (HTC Magician).
Problem: CAB files in /Storage folder are being deleted after installation - even if they are read-only!
This only happens if they are located in the /Storage folder. I did a hard reset and soft reset afterwards to get a non-customized device but the behaviour is still the same, so this doesn't seem to be a customization "feature".
Any ideas?
Use CabInstl to install cab's. It will let you choose where to install & got the option to keep the cab.

Thanks for the hint. It looks like a good alternative to the standard procedure. However I do need an automated mechanism (installing CABs after hardreset automatically) which can be used from the extended_rom/config.txt and I, lacking detailled information about cabinstl, doubt that cabinstl can be used in "silent" mode using commandline parameters. But I'll give it a try. Meawhile we implement a workaround.
thanks.
What causes a soft reset loop? I have installed ITsPapaBlack Final * 20748.1.4.0 on my Wing & now every time I soft reset my device, I have to take my SD card out to let the phone boot up, then put it back in when booted. It is rather aggravating! I assume that a program on the card is trying to start up on soft reset & is conflicting in some way. I have BatteryStatus & UltimateLaunch on my home screen & WeatherPanel as one of the UL screens. I don't believe anything else runs from the SD card in the background. If anyone can help me or provide an answer or some advice, I would greatly appreciate it!
P.S.: I had ItsPapaBlack RC6 on my Wing previously (the Final version above has updated SYS & XIP) & never had this problem.
**edit: I found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321359) but can't figure out how to actually change the name of the dll! Any help?
I made several attempts to install this cab:
NETCF.core.ppc3.ARM.Cab and each time, I immediately get installation unsuccessful. Why can't I install this? By the way, what does DHCP stand for?
Thx!

this depends on your rom
which phone do u have???
This is my first ROM I'm releasing.
I have created a Danish WM6.5 ROM with 85 MB free ram
I have done everything I can to make it stable and fast. I'm using it myself and I'm very happy with it.
This ROM is based on the latest Danish stock ROM I could get hold of.
I have removed some of the stock programs, and have added the following programs:
Code:
Bluetooth notifier
Mortscript (Un-Installable)
The ROM is extendir enable. You can everything about extendir here
This ROM is created with ervius visual kitchen
I thank everyone that have made this possible.
If I'm distribution anything that I shouldn't or haven't mentioned any people that I should then please let me know. It is not out of respect of other people, it is simply because I either didn't realize that I have used some of their stuff or because I have forgotten.
To use this ROM you must have a storage card for the initial flash.
First you extract the contents of the lagerkort.7z to the root of the storage card, so that you end up with a folder called extendir with a few folders and one file inside.
If you want some cabs to be installed as part of the new flash then copy then to the extendir\setups\<sub folder>. only cabs that are in a sub folder in setups will appear. So make one and only one level under setups for the cabs. (they will not be installed automatic, you get to chose which you want to install, so all all you cabs if you want)
Then you flash the ROM and leave the storage card in for the first 2 boots.
on 1st boot after you have calibrated the screen the customization starts, WM looks awful here, don't worry about this, as this step will extract all of the missing WM files to to the extendir folder.
On 2 boot the preset installer will boot and you can chose a few extra cabs to install and the ones that you have added.
You can download the ROM from here:

You can download the extra package here:

Congratulation and wellcome new chef
I suggest you to include some pics because you will be ask for that
Cheers.
Thank you.

Danish rom with Manilla?
Would it be possible to create a version with Manilla? I would really love a danish rom with Manilla and HTC Weather...
Regards Ulrik
I possibly could create one.
But I recommend that you install Manilla after with a cab, or with zip files (in the extender folders) this should give the fastest rom. I can help create the scripts so that Manilla will install on first boot if you want?
hey man i can't get the hardware keyboard to input properly for æ, ø, å. I looked through your cabs but don't see a fix do you have one?
I tried this SkandinaviskTastatur5.CAB and XDA_JCEspi2005_Danish_Input_Kaiser.cab neither of which work. Let me know if you have a solution
I have a danish keyboard on my too, and the mappings are just fine on that one. So have no idea what could be wrong, unless there are more than one version of a danish keyboard. I access my æøå by FN and <UP><DOWN><UP> respectively.
I forgot to mention that I'm using a different rom to yours. Maybe you need a Danish WM 6.5 to get the hardware keyboard to work. If you could help me out in anyway that would be awesome cause it's a bit frustrating hunting around to find ? and stuff heh
Ahh that explains.....
I have no idea how to get the danish keys then. If I knew what to put in it I could create a CAB file for you, but I really have no idea what to put in to this cab...
I had the same problem when I used WWE roms, and never got it sorted.
@ Blindpet, try doing this:
Use a registry editor and change the following:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Hardware\Devicemap\Keybd\CurLang to 1044, this worked for me
I tried your ROM and overall its pretty good but i dont know if its my phone thats not set up properly but this rom have got a lot of screen lag though.
Anyway would be great with a proper danish rom for this great phone, keep up the good work
//KillerBee
EDIT: This solution doesnt work for me now.. I am not quite sure how you are supposed to change the HW keyboard language for a winmo 6.5 phone
