Anyone found a way yet to unlock the T-Mobile MDA Compact? Or will the XDA2UNLOCK tool be updated to unlock this puppy?
I read (I think on the Expansys forums) that the MDA Compact devices as sold in Germany (ie by nowicom) are SIM-lock free!
I have a Dutch MDA Compact, simlocked to T-Mobile :-( but with English OS
Wiz,
Then YOU have the Intellipad.cab and the Intellidialer.cab in English sitting in your ExtROM / Vdisk.
Could you post / mail those two?
Same questions for cprog.exe wich resides in the \windows folder . . .
BIG Thank you from all English non WM2003SE device owners!
You get access to the ExtROM /VDisk by after a hard-reset and just before the customisation starts soft-resetting the device.
Intellipad English and Intellidialer English. Now who is going to unlock my MDA Compact for me? ;-)
Thanks WIZ. IntelliPad is OK. But we need the file \Windows\cprog.exe to install IntelliDialer. Pls post here this file from your device. Pls...
Thanks u very much!
PocketMe: cprog.exe is a rom prog and thus cant be extracted from the device . . .
Its the rom filesystem that makes this impossible . . .
Read that in some old thread here
Correct, whatever I try, I cannot copy it. Sorry
Is there still no way to unlock an MDA compact?
Hello,
Wiz, could you post a zip with all the extender rom in enlish ?
Thanks
T-Mobile MDA Compact: Extended Rom English
Here you have the complete extended ROM. Now someone please find a way to unlock it
Update: Apparently uploading a zip file currently does not work. If you want to have it, PM me your e-mail address, and I will mail it to you (5.5 Mb)
Thanks but I don't see the link to download it ?
Can anyone PLEASE tell me how to uninstall Intellipad.
Once I installed it I could no longer get any input method to take place other than trhe keyboard. The options for Intellipad and Calligrapher and Block Recopgnizer were ther but it would not change to them when you clicked on them.
If it's not listed in Settings > System > Remove Programs, I'd guess you'd need to hard reset. :?:
Hi Wiz,
I also intend to buy a MDA Compact from T-Mobile Netherlands. You got the English one, didn't you?
I called to the T-Mobile Klant services today and they said they will send me the Dutch one.
I have no idea how it happens to the T-Mobile Netherlands.
Have you found the way to unlock the MDA Compact yet?
hmm the Dutch one?? I don't think that's completely true. For instance, only a part of the menu is dutch, and there is so such thing as dutch T9 yet.
But... where does the unlock tool stay? 120 euro :shock: is to expensive
Unlock Dutch T-Mobile MDA Compact
Did somebody already have information on how to succesfully unlock a Dutch T-Mobile MDA Compact?
It would be very nice to be able to use it with another provider SIM-card in it...

en easier to use it in english. Could someone help us to crack this simlock 8)
To be exact: There is no Dutch language PocketPC. All PocketPC's in the Netherlands are sold with an English operating system. So, the MDA Compact also comes with an Englsh Operating System.
Aside from that, I am not a developer or hacker, and I am not capable of cracking a simlock, sorry. I am also waiting for someone here to find the crack
Look here: he says "This rom is english unlocked". Has anyone with a Dutch T-Mobile MDA tried this ROM update to see if it unlocks the device?
Hi all,
I'm new to this forum and hope someone could help me... I have the German VPA II Compact and want to flash the new WM6 on it...

You should not just start flashing roms or you can wind up with a brick instead of a phone. Until you learn the proper steps to upgrade, don't attempt anything else.
i've a XPA S200 from Swisscom (swiss telecom). they're reselling there phone's with simlock already removed.
i'd like to remove all the Swisscom brand stuff and make it a clean and stable plain qtek s200. can anyone tell me which of the following rom_updates i'am supposed to use? And what's this about with No_IPL_SPL?
RUU_Prophet_220739_2207119_021921_QTEK_GER_Ship_NO_IPL_SPL.exe
05/27/2007
RUU_Prophet_220739_2207119_024721_QTEK_GER_Ship.exe
11/16/2006
What I dont understand is that the upper one has the newer date stamp but the lower one seems to have the newer version????
And can I just install one of these files or do I have to unlock some CID first or something?
Just in case nobody answers because noone knows what a xpa s200 is. it is a prophet, just like all the others discussed here. so does anybody know what the difference is between the two files? please!!
I see there is an Upgrade for the ROM/OS for the Magician which I understand should solve my SDIO Wifi card lockups ( Bios Upgrade needed) I see by the Post (UPDATE 2 - Fixes) Rom Wwe 2.03 For Htc Magician (jam) that it looks very straightforward. As I am very attached to this MDA Compact I cant afford for it to go down . Can u advise whether I can use the above 'Upgrade' with the MDA Compact which I understand is the same phone as the Magician?
Thanks

MDA Compact Rom Upgrade
Thanks for feedback on this matter. Whats the info about BIG Storage? Is there improved memory available on this upgrade? Anyone had any bugs or problems since the Upgrade? Certain comments have been about a 'Hard Reset' before adding the extra updates? Any tips on a successful Upgrade? Probably gonna have a stiff Brandy before carrying it out!

Hi,
my mobile is a VDA V (Vodaphone) and I hate this ROM. I tried to get ROM-update from HTC homepage because I would like to have a german ROM. But Homepage told my S/N is wrong (?).
So I found the alternativ solution in VOX wiki (the shipped ROM german).
Can I use the ROMs for my VDA V, or is VDA different to normal VOX ???
I'm I little bit afraid due to the HTC homepage didn't know my S/N-number and that VDA V is not compatible.
regards Odiad
i have vpa v too
just uspl like normal vox and then chose the rom you want to use
htc roms are on xda ftp!
Hi Hashtowent,
I've just tried ROM from XDA ftp (ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Smartphone/Vox/ROMs/Shipped)
Started ROM-Update (exe-file), followed the instruction and update process started. But after 3% proecess stopped and with message update is not suitable for my device.
Other possibilities ? I would like to have a german ROM. I think all VOX-Forum-ROMs are not in German, isn't it?
odiad
problem solved
hi to all
reading helps, because I read "Vox Update SPL (USPL) 1.16". And with 1.16 I could install new ROM. Yeah - no more Vodafon-ROM !!!
So thanks to jockyw2001.
Regards Odiad
What did you not like in the Vodafone ROM? I still use that (tweaked though) simply because it does NOT vibrate on boot. I have the phone do a reboot every night at 3am and the vibrate would wake me up then...
The languages in the ROM are also better distributed in the Vodafone ROM, the HTC has just GER and ENG or WWE (without GER).
Basic Tweaking requires:
- new JAVA (JBED Rose)
- new Radio (latest)
- some little de-branding
