Windows mobile 2003 for german XDA I...

Some days ago I updated my XDA I to the current german ROM Version avaiable at O2online.de (it's 3.19.01 GER with radio v4.21), because I hoped that wmodem is included at that version. Unfortunately it wasn't, although it is included at an english version with a minor version number. As there were also some other disappointing things, I decided to write a letter to O2. Here's a part of their answer:
Das eigentliche Anliegen Ihres Schreibens ist die Modemfunktionalitaet des xda I. Die Ausstattung des Geraetes in England und Deutschland ergab sich aus den Ergebnissen diverser Umfragen. Diese zeigten eindeutig, dass eine Modemfunktionalitaet in Deutschland von den zukuenftigen Nutzern nicht priorisiert wurde. Im Verlauf der Zeit hat sich allerdings gezeigt, dassŸ auch diese Funktion genutzt wird. Daher verfuegt der xda II ueber die Modemfunktionalitaet. Ein Nachruesten des xda I ist leider nicht moeglich, da es zusaetzliche Hardwarekomponenten erfordern wuerde.
Der Service fuer den xda I wird natuerlich weitergefuehrt. Verschiedene Updates haben die Funktionalitaet bereits verbessert. Ein Update auf WIN CE 2003 ist ebenfalls noch in Planung. Evtl. wird es dann auch moeglich sein, den xda I als Modem zu nutzen.
Die Fax-Funktionalitaet wird wohl auch in naher Zukunft leider nicht gegeben sein. Bedingt durch bestimmte Netzeigenschaften (in unserem Falle die Homezone), funktioniert es nicht. Bisher ist es leider noch nicht gelungen, dieses Problem zu loesen.

I'll try to translate it into english:
As a poll in germany showed, that most users didn't ask for a modem feature at the XDA I (in opposite to british polls), it is not included at the XDA I. But by and by we got to know that such a feature is used and therefore now it is included at the XDA II. An upgrade for the XDA I is not possible as there are some hardware components missing.
The service for the XDA I will be continued as a matter of course. There have already been some upgrades and also an upgrade to WIN CE 2003 is still planned. Possibly one will therefore be able to use the XDA I as a modem.
A fax functionality will be not possible in a near future. It doesn't work due to some properties of the network (in that case it's the homezone-funktionality). By now it was not possible to solve that problem.

It's quite interesting, that some necessary hardware components are not necessary any more just by doing a software upgrade...

Try this....
The T-Mobile Version of such an update is here:
www.mathiaspohl.de/mda
This version includes the wmodem file.
Enjoy !

I currently have the Special edition rom for my T-mobile MDA (XDA-1), I have been using the WMODEM via a serial cable to my laptop for a long time, but now I would like to upgrade the firmware to PPC2003 from T-Mobile website, does the download from http://www.mathiaspohl.de/mda include WMODEm for PPC2003?

Yes. This ROMs includeeds the wmodem application.
But it´s a German ROM. So all is in German and nothing in english. It´s not possible to switch the language....

What file are you using?
look HERE for help.

thanks for your help
I tried the radio on this site:
http://www.t-mobile.at/privat/servi.../Software/MDA_Vario_Pro_Compact_II/index.html
(for T-Mobile it is only allowed to use this one, isn´t it?)
I think it is Version 1.27

Well, a lot of things could cause the 260 error. Check out the MrVanx guides. It could be Vista, it could be your version of ActiveSync...
You actually can use non-TMobile ROMs. You just need to use the latest CustomRUU. Find any post from olipro and there is a link in his signature to take you to the right place to download it. Or, a WM6 ROM download will probably be packaged with a working RUU (updater) that will work with a non-TMobile ROM.
Thanks to Olipro and the other developers here, there are not many limits to what you can do!

Can one share t-mobile.at WM5 Rom?

Hi,
Could one of you share a t-mobile.at WM5 with me please?
I have a MDA Compact III with built in GPS and want to use the original WM5 T-Mobile.at (Austria) ROM (t-mobile.at say's, they dont have that anymore ). So does someone have a link or actually the ROM itself for me?
If not possible, do you think I can use an HTC-ARTEMIS ROM (has a Wifi, mine doesn't, ...)? Which (link) do you recomend? There are many - so I am confused
I have ongoing problems with WM6 while using GPS, so I desided to switch back to WM5 as quick as possible
Thank you very much!
Hille

Nope, no chance to find a running German-WM6 for MDA Compact. You can use one of Cotullas english roms for the Magician, but be careful to choose the right one for your device.
Otherwise you can try to use the search button (or google) for : 'Home.1.01WM5.Installer' and 'home.ppc2003' to get a feeling like the OS with finger friendly touch.
Look for it in the alpine forum, as this device is (and will be) still stuck in WM2003SE.
Good Luck and nice to see you here. On problems feel free to PM me, as all these forums here are nearly dead.

vielen Dank...Thanks.
Habe bereits eine Rom mit WM6 gefunden und T-Online schreibt, WM6.1 geht bei dem MDA Compact. Nun weiß ich nicht wie ich es instalieren muss.
: Confused:

Interesting answer from T-online as cottula is the only one who build a working kitchen for WM6.X for the magician worldwide!
They never release modern builds for it!
Search here,
http://www.cotulla.pp.ru/Magician.html
choose the rom which fits to your device and how to flash you can find there, too. Tried once for a friend and it worked fine. Good Luck.
