i havent tried hard reset or re-flash yet

Hey mate,
Asre you running Spb Pocket Plus version 2? If so, this is the battery monitor feature. You can disable it form the Settings Control Panel.

Changing rom on my MDA 2 / removing t mobile logo

I have two questions :twisted:
question 1 :
I am very bored with this t-mobile rom.. ugly start-up screen etc..
is there a nice clean streamlined rom (2003) which i can install? preferably a .exe, me a sort of virgin on the rom kitchen stuff etc..
There must be a cool neat clean supadupa rom around?
question 2 :
anyone tried to remove the t-mobile logo of the charger and mda2 ?
it is printed on top for sure, so it must be removable?
the xda 1 had this huge stamp on it brrrrr ugly lol.. luckly the t-mobile logo is neat.. but i rather have it gone..
thing is .. i am afraid it will damage the grey plastic if removed, so i ask in here if someone tried it already?
ok Thanxs already!!
DvL :twisted:

It'll make you an exe with loads of cool software and stuff. The Exe works fine on an XDA I. Still has some of the Tmobile crap in some of the ROMs though I think. I've got 4.01.16 ENG and it has the Tmobile bits.
:idea: FYI, I removed the T-Mobile logo from the cradle (sync stand) with my bare hands (actually, I used my fingers), I just rubbed the logo and it came right off. It didn't came off right away, but in a few days of rubbing occasionally it disappeared without affecting the gray finish. (maybe I have a strong PH or something but it really was easy to remove the logo :shock: ).
See the attached photo... :wink:

White Screen Problem

i got my mda compact last week and updated the rom to an imate jam rom the first day i got it.
now since then i have had to do several hard resets because after so long whenever i press the power button to turn the screen on, the screen is completely white and i cant see anything else except this.
Is this a known problem or does anyone know what to do to sort this problem as its getting a tad annoying having to hard reset almost every day!
Any help will be greatly appreciated

May i ask why you upgraded it the day you got it? I also have the MDA Compact and i still run version 1.01 P) because i don't have any problems with it.
Did you just blindly update or did you have problems before updating?
the reason i upgraded the rom was that i wanted rid of all the t mobile stuff as i use o2 mate.
the only other stuff i installed on it a game called s tris, pocket painter and tcpmp player, not sure if either of those could have anything to do with this.
Any ideas mate?

Did you unlock the sim?
And are you aware that you can actually remove all Tmobile junk pretty easily without having to upgrade?
it was already unlocked by the person i got it from.
yeah i was but i just thought it would be quicker and better if i just changed the rom.
i just downloaded the newest mda compact rom. do you recommend i go back to that one and get rid of the t mobile stuff manually?
oh and have you ever heard of this white screen problem that im having?

I think it is a better idea to go back to the original 1.1 ROM. I removed all T-mobile crap with the push of a button.
You have to hardreset the device, when you get to the today screen immediatly softreset the device and voila. No more T-Mobile crap.
When you get to the today screen for the first time after a hardreset the device is programmed to install all Extended ROM files (which include the TMobile crap).
Simple as that .
cheers mate.
what should i install from the extended rom folder without the risk of installing any t mobile nonsense?!
i thinkive just about figured out what to install but i cant seem to get the smart dialler function without installing the t mobile skin over the phone function :?
If you go to the XDA devs ftp in the magician extended rom folder, grab the smart dialler from the Jam extended rom. I don't necessarily agree with reverting back the rom but if it fixes it, great.
If you want a completely unbranded rom, go for the I-mate WWE versions of the rom. I haven't had a single problem with any up til 1.11 (I haven't tried 1.12 as I have no need to go any higher)
im looking in the shipped roms folder now, is there any WWE 1.11 one that you would recommend? its just there is so many and ive had this white screen problem with every rom ive tried i want to make sure i choose the correct one!
Well if it happens with every rom you've tried then I'd say the problem must be hardware related. If a rom upgrade, downgrade, or anything doesn't fix the issue then it has to be the one thing that hasn't changed, your hardware. My recommendation is put the original rom back on and get it looked at under warranty, unless someone else can offer another explanation.
The latest rom I've installed and still on my phone is the Anansky BigStorage rom. I haven't needed to change that for months, although I've played with all the I-mate roms up to 1.11. The only change I've made since then is the 1.13 radio upgrade.
ok ive went back to the mda compact rom (one i downloaded from a link on this site, not the ftp)
got rid of the t mobile stuff as explained earlier and changed the splash screens too with a cab file.
fingers crossed so far so good!
im terrified to turn the display back on after it goes off now though! and a bit apprehensive of installing anything after the last few days ive had!

Any update on the old "Sugar Cube" trick?

I still can't get over how stupid the name of this thing is....I mean honestly....JasJar?!
Anyway, having removed the blue i-mate logo from the outside of the phone, I'm now after a way to get rid of the white logos on the inside (without damaging the thing, obviously - I learnt my lesson by ruining my PDA2K a while back.)
Anyone successfully done this yet?
yer it works fine, i did my JJ and it looks tops.
have a search on these forums, its been talked about in the past
Really? A sugar cube works on the white logos as well? Ok, I'll give it a go on your advice, but if I ruin my phone, I'll be coming after you! :wink:
Arg i didnt properlly read you,. didnt see you said the inside!!!!
I did try that on the last r of jasjar and now i have a back r. i stopped there.

for some stupid reason??

when i checked my phone this morning....the black rubber was of the battery cover and it was stuck on the windows mobile boot screeen???
half the time my phone wont wake up when i push the power button??
any ideas???
Lol !
Sorry dont mean to laugh but are you saying your phone did this to itself ?
I've heard people syaing the rubber pad has come off before but its due to being in a pocket etc ...
As for the boot screen .. ? have you installed an old version of SPB Pocket plus, as old versions cause it to lockup before booting.
Make sure your running a rom version 2 + like the O2 rom im using, fixes loads of bugs.
fair enough mate....
well yeah the phone was on the fire place and when i woke up and went downstaires to check my phone the rubber was stucj to the phone wallet....
and then i checked phone and it was on the boot screen...
ermmm im running the latest spb pocket plus mate and ive got a factorty Tmobile rom....havent upgraded it
spb pocket plus version 3.1.1, Build 5369
you recon i should uninstall this and install ilauncher?
no thats the same version as im running, its older versions you have to worry about.
Whats the ROM version your using ?
oh guess wat mate...just as i pulled out y fone...i found it was on windows boot screen..
im deleting spb pocket plus...

To exit boot loader mode: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_Stuck_Bootloader
With regard to restorig WM5 - I have the official O2 XDA Exec files for their last software release. But I think you said your's is an iMate.You could see if the iMate version listed here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Upgrades is still available - if not maybe someone has a copy somewhere.
Hope this helps.

bro thankx for help i actually flashed my uni with kdskamal cooked wm5 bt my jasjar still gets dead on a greenish screen as it used to get before in blue screen wht m i supposed to do...??
Hi,
Try flashing with a WM6 rom (Tomal's ROMs are always good) and see if you get the same symptoms.
If you do then I suspect that you have a screen/cable connecting screen problem.
But lets rule out software first.
greetings bro...!!
i was up all night flashing wms
i used mtty software so many times that its commands are like hard weird in my brain cant get them out now....lolzzz
my stubborn uni was still stuck on the same dead screen but the only fun thing was that every time i flashed a new wm it used to get stuck on diff colours blue red green black...lolzzz
i scratched my head and i scratched my ass to an extent that i guess it started thinking lolzzz
i got some nice screw drivers and opened up my uni..
damn dis thing is wicked and messy it has things dat i dont know about n havnt even dreamd of in my stupidest dream i hav been lost in a computer motherboard with some good virus as my friend n some bad scary virus but in my uni motherboard i would neva..!
so i just fixed it back...n it worked for a while n den i dont know what tickled its ass.
busted again...!!
i guess ill hit the HTC service centre.
thanx allot bro
respect for ur effort and help...
Hi
for some strange reason the option "incoming com port" in the blue-tooth setting on my jasjar has disappeared. i was wondering if anyone else faced the same problem or if there is a way around it? editing registry n stuff.
because of this the previously paired devices are working fine but the new devices are unable to search the serial/com port facility on my uni.
i have tried resetting but still no luck.
any suggestions?
also i would really appreciate if someone could give me a solution for reading arabic and other such languages on uni.
(btw i am using i.e.TML 8.5 Rom and when i installed it at first the functionality was present so it cant be a ROM issue.)
...
lol... sorry abt earlier maite! i just realized the ridiculous thing i just did. i was supposed to post the reply to ur prob and then start with my sad story but somhow i managed to skip step one .
i m not expert on the device but i like it very much so i when i got one with my o2 contract i bought another one sim free just so that one would keep other company. as far as ur issue goes i have faced almost the same prob in the past and the solution was
1) rotate the screen 90 to get acess to screws at the bottom of the screen.
2) open the screws screws ... btw u might wana check if they are properly fastend before you try this step as i observed that if the screws are properly tightened this problem may solve itself... carrying on open the screws and that would detach the screen from the hinges.
3) where the hinge comes off strip open the cover a little bit and you will see two connections, one for the backlight and one for display (just like any other LCD screen.
4) press the big grip like thingee i.e. display connector with a flathead screw driver to assure they are properly in place. because in my case the connector had come off and hence was causing the system crash. although in my case the screen was only going blue after a while not the whole color palette.
just try if this one works because i m not sure if imate people are going to be any help in this case. i tried calling them a few months back for the lenscover and they said they dont support this device any more :S.
