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

current lock status: 01

security answer2:

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.
Hi, I made a few replies on threads with people having the same people with me. I know if i start a new thread people are going to flame me for not searching. I searched and I still can't get this damn thing to work.
I'm sick of posting on old topics that gets no replies. so i'm going to start a new one asking for help.
I'm trying to add files to my extended rom so i can install them on a hard reset. but everytime i put files in, all my stuff becomes gibberish after a reset.
I found this unlocker and it didn't help at all.

everything still messes up.
Then i found this extended rom editor and it doesn't work on the nbk files i select.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...ame=ER2003Edit

I used it on this rom: T-Mobile_RUU_Wizard_2261020_226_22511_ENG_US.exe
please help me out, i feel like breaking my phone cuz i have to keep reinstalling everything.
thanks

i guess i'lll have to format it again...
also, how do i install my phone with framework 2.0 instead of 1.1?
thanks
should i keep this in the config.txt?
EXEC:\Windows\cusTSK.exe
where does it belong? thanks
"also, how do i install my phone with framework 2.0 instead of 1.1?"
you get the compact framework 2.0 from microsoft
I know that, but when they say it comes with cf 1.1 is it in the extended rom? cuz i don't see it. i Rather have it install 2.0 so i can save space.
thanks
no .net is in the rom
I followed the 1st link and it does not work.
my extended rom does not install at all.

Hi all, im new here in terms of posting but have been reading for a while now.
I have a Plam Treo 750 vodafone which is unlocked. I installed vodafone wm6 update on it a month ago... but since then i've stopped using the phone due to this:
I'm used to fast systems such as my linux desktop and i was really frustrated how the wm6 interface is slow. Even with few progs installed the phone gets very sluggish and hanging up calls even takes time.
Now here's my question:
Is there any way to speedup WM6 ? or install a custom WM6 that is faster ?
I tried Rest of the World wm6 ROM but it wouldn't install on my phone when i opened the installer it would say not compatible.
Would this speedup my phone ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=345748
What should i do... i really love the phone and its features... but i just want wm6 to run faster so that the phone is usable.
thanks

Got it right mate! Nice research!
can anyone please help me install "WM6 AKU0.7.0 WWE Cooked ROM Lite"...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=345748
I've never done something like this before and have no idea how to begin.. I can't find any guides only random text throughout the posts so i don't know what applies to me and what doesn't. I'm really worried about damaging my phone by doing something stupid.
My Phone:
750v from vodafone UK with vodafone wm6... but it was unlocked by previous owner... since i can use it on other phone providers in other countries. I have usb cable and 1Gig microSD.
The installation notes of the rom say i need to install Hard-SPL then flash radio then flash OS. Now for Hard-SPL do i need to install it if my phone is unlocked because i read some confusing posts there... then what is a radio flash do i need to do that ? how does it affect radio...
then after that i need KaiserCustomRUU.exe to flash the rom... i only found a post about CustomRUU with "RUUWrapper.zip" is that the same thing... sorry but i'm really confused and need someone to guide me through the process for my first time if possible.
You are ready to go. Download the ROM from Chaimd on the 750 Upgrading thread, rename it to CHEEIMG.nbh (the ROM file name the 750 expects to see) and copy it to the root of your miniSD card.
Insert the miniSD card, hold down the bottom right button on the side while you do a reset and the bootloader will start. And away you go.
Make sure you backup (backup program is best) all your data - it starts you out with fresh device and default settings. ROM works perfectly - fast and lots of extra storage.

Thanks txzman for the info. But just to be sure i understand... you're saying i don't need to install Hard-SPL from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334100&page=1
Nor do i need to flash the radio ?
UPDATE:
ok i didn't install Hard-SPL or flash the radio.
I tried to install the rom straight away... i put the ROM on my memory card root and renamed it, then did the reset with sidebutton...and i got to the wierd colors screen and nothing happenes after that.
It says on the screen:
Palm Tr
IPL-0.20
Palm Tr
SPL-0.24.0000
In the end nothing happens... this method doesnt work. i tried using KaiserRUU.exe update method but also that doesn't work it gives me and "Error [260]: Connection" even though activesync is connected... please tell me what i can do to install this rom.
i posted the question in the thread for the cooked rom. i guess this is not the right place to ask thus no one is replying.
sd needs to be formatted fat32 - re-format card to fat32, re-copy cheeimg and try again. Google or search here for the available formatting apps.
INSTALL HARD-SPL FIRST....
i can't stress this enough...

If your Palm Treo is unlocked, you still need to install Hard SPL but just run step 1 and ignore step 2 & 3. This will allow you to flash your Treo with ROM's other than your provider as well as modified/cooked ROM's like the one made by Chaimd.
Hi guys,
am new to this whole rooting/ROM updating thing.
Would appreciate if someone could guide me to a good ROM for my HERO (currently running stock 1.5)...its an Eastern/Central European version (i.e. has language for Czech, Hungary, Poland etc) and has no market place.
Basically the ROM I am looking for should:
Give market ability
Android 2.1
Fast to use
Give a better/more practical contacts selection option...i.e. the fastest way to select contacts (bypassing having to go through multiple screens!)
Be generally cool and not make me want to buy a new android phone for the next few month!
would also appreciate instructions (or link to) for how to update the ROM.
thanks!
Raidroid seems happiest on my hero from the handful I tried so far
-------------------------------------
Sent via the XDA Tapatalk App
do you have a link where I can get it from (including instructions)?
thanks
I installed Fresh 2.1.2 a few days ago and am loving it! Looks slick and is fast.
I think in terms of speed, any of the 2.1 roms are great when the hero is overclocked (OC).
I had been using BeHero 1.2+ before the OC patch came out and it was occasionaly sluggish but after I applied the OC patch it is perfect now. LAGLESS
what i really need are links where i can download these things from...from whatever i've found, it seems to be through rapidshare.com which doesn't work...
Latest raidroid is here: http://www.multiupload.com/C54GAT6DLJ
thanks! finally found a site from your link that lets me d/load
Glad to be of assistance, is what we're all here for after all
Whatever ROM you install, I recommend that you install SpellDial to search for your contacts (it is free).
It gives you a T9-style search of your contacts. Type in the name on its telephone keypad and the you will usually get your contact listed within 3 to 4 key presses.
SenseUI already does this.

hello again
now that I finally downloaded this, I don't know how to install it!...
I have an unbranded Hero (i.e. not locked to any network)... do I still need to root my phone first etc?
where can I get instructions on how to install the ROM?
many thanks!

yup...you need root access to install ROMs. Google Search on how to unlock your version of the HERO. Good Luck!
What he said.
Google 'how to root HTC hero'
Basically:
allow 3rd party installs, dl and copy the Rom zipfile, flash backup/loading tool and the recovery image to SD, install the tool, run it, backup, then flash the recovery bin to the phone, power off, power back on holding home and power until the green on black text recovery screen comes up, wipe all, then flash from SD and select the raidroid zip
Will take a few mins to flash and reboot, reboot will take a bit longer than usual but that's it in a nutshell.
Good luck ...
ok.. so the day started off with trying to root my hero with the 'one click' unlocker...
finally d/loaded the program, ran it but it somehow couldn't find my android phone (on Win 7)...
wasted a couple of hours on above, then tried it on a WinXP machine... found phone no problem, ran the one-click unlocker and got an error while trying to 'update' (i.e. downgrade ROM)...
so then thought I'd give the 'goldcard method' a go...
followed instructions to the letter...got as far as trying to write the image on the SD card till when I pressed save (on the hex editor) and it gave me a 'cyclic redundancy error'...
not sure what the heck that means!... don't know whether it had anything to do with me not formatting the SD card when sticking it in my PC since WinXP said it needed to be formatted....
however, the instructions didn't say anything about formatting it!... tried to re-insert it and format it but don't get the format option this time....
SD card works fine in phone...
Don't know whether its to do with brand of SD card not being compatible with the 'goldcard' method (San Disk)... read that Kingston works... can't be asked with all the hassle and going out to buy a different one etc etc...
Hoping that a new ROM is released by HTC officially, soon!
