Installing other carrier/provider setting.

I have questions regarding this issue. I have Dutch T-Mobile MDA Compact (locked) and I soon to go back to my home country. I will not be able to use T-Mobile there, so I have to unlock it.
Unlocking is not an issue here because I can pay someone to do it (imei-check) or ask T-Mobile to provide unlock (hope they will!).
In my home country, I will register for a new carrier/provider (I still dont know which one).
I read in this forum that I need a .CAB file of the provider to be installed to get the phone setting (GPRS, mms, sms, etc.).
(1) Is that right?
(2) How to install that .CAB?
(3) If I install Provider1.CAB and then I switched back to Provider2.CAB, can I go back to Provider1 again?
Many thanks in advance to clear up this questions for me.
Regards,
gogol

Please, anyone can answer my questions ?

1. you can install the cab or do the settings manually that's up to you but using the cab file is much more easier.......
2. put the cab in your Magician and click on it......
3. the cab file is an installtion file meaning you will only use it once to install the settings...... to switch between them you can set it to auto pick the provider or maually choose ur provider from the connection settings.....
hope that helps

Thanks PapaDocta,
How to setup manually ? I have Dutch T-Mobile MDA Compact and I cant find any way to setup the GPRS. Could you please inform me which program or icon to do this ?
Thanks,

Unlocked O2 XDA IIi - need Orange settings please

Hi
I recently purchased an O2 XDA IIi, which is unlocked from O2 and has been hard-reset to remove O2 features.
My SIM works as much that I can make/receive calls and send/receive text messages.
But, to access Internet, Email, MMS etc etc I need the settings for Orange (Ive tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=7306 but no luck).
Does anyone have the correct settings please ?
Is there a programme I can download (the type that is pre-installed onto Orange phones) as this may be the quickest solution.
I have tried Orange support on 3 occassions now and whilst they state they dont support non-orange phones they have tried to help - but without success.
Does anyone know if the hard-reset actaully leaves various O2 settings on the phone, which still need sorting.
ANY HELP WOULD BE GOOD !!
Thank You !!!
Paul

try removing the o2 profiles in connection
and making sure it's not set to autopick the o2 connection profile
and such
p.s. hardreset remove no o2 features as they are most likely loading in again from the extented rom when it's hardreset
guess you could try to edit the extented rom and remove the o2 stuff from it and hardreset once more

hi
there is no sign of O2 anywhere in the connections settings.
how can i find if O2 exists elsewhere ?
thanks
Paul

settings->connections->connections
should give you a menu with connections
something the line of
My IPS
add a new modem connection
manage existing connections
My work network.....
if you pick manage existing connections you can see which
connections exist and edit them

RE: GPRS and MMS settings
Hi,
Follow this link, Ihave uploaded all the available cab installs for UK carriers, contract and PAYG.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=26463
These are the latest version 2.0, as I have seen some earlier versions elsewhere on forum. :twisted:

cab file not recognized
1st thanks to you all for helping all us newbie's.
I've checked the threads (hopefully), unlocked the xdaIIi with itsme's fine unlocking tool, downloaded the cab file for vodafone uk. But when i browse to it in file explorer i get a icon and msg to say that the file's not recognized.
And i need to run a program to open the file.
Also the file name is; "download" and not uk *****.cab.
Any ideas or am i just missing the point ?
Thanks.

If I want can I install the rom of I-mate in english?
and where can I download?
and for unlock?
thank you

Hi,
sorry for eventually beeing unpolite, but have you ever tried to read a single post in this forum ?
Here is a complete forum called "Universal upgrading" .. there you will find all the answers to your questions.
If you don´t find them within 10 seconds, try the search. If you still don´t find it .. no, you don´t have the skills to upgrade your mda, you will toast it.

PS: if you still have questions AFTER you read, you are welcome to ask.

Download this file, it contains the I-Mate JASJAR Rom update with a No Device ID executable.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/MDA_PRO_JASJAR_ROM_UPGRADE_WWE_11353_137_10301.zip
Put the MDA in bootloader (Camera + Reset + Power)
Connect the device via USB
Run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
Once updated, press reset on the MDA Pro
That's it! Then you'll have a nice MDA pro with MSN, Skype and ALOT more free RAM!

MDA Pro upgading

I see that you have updated your MDA Pro with the IMate ROM Update, Im keen to do this but wanted to know what the pitfalls are?
What about connection settings? How can I get them back?
Does all the software work OK? Can you still Video call?
Ive had problems with the signal being a little poor in my area, does the radio upgrade seem to solve it or not.
Sorry for all the questions, but if I balls this up, I have no original ROM to go back to, as TMobile dont seem to release them on the net.
Any help you can give would be great

HI,
at least you should make a complete backup of your extended rom. There are all the files you may need to re-install the original customization, e.g. the original connection settings.

Problems
Its academic now really as I cant complete the upgrade, it comes up with the wrong country code error.
Is there a solution to this, mine is UK TMobile?

Did my MDA pro this morning
1. Make sure you are running form the bootloader or you cannot install as the id issue comes up. If you aren't sure about accessing the bootloader- run the update first - it will fail but phone should be in bootloader.
2. Disable USB connections in Activesync,
3. Re-run update - all should work fine.
The new rom includes a prompt on set-up for your carrier settings and should work fine without having to use the files from the extended rom backup you shoud make before playing with a new rom (allows you to install the specific customisations for your device
Thanks to the poster for the link to the files
Issues solved,
MS voice command now installs
Streaming video via ORB works (a bit gimmicky though and no full screen)No more t-mobile schemes - much nicer dial skin and today themes

It works fine, the T-Mobile MMS settings are installed for you (just select the network when going through setup on the PDA after the flash).
The GPRS / 3G settings you can add manually.
Access point: general.t-mobile.uk
Username: t-mobile
Password: one2one
Video calls etc work fine, because its all included in the I-Mate rom. What's more, it doesn't have that horrid T-mobile dialler theme!

How to remove T-Mobile's customization

Hello Everyone,
I have MDA COMPACT on t-mobile, and i have tried to change the themes but i cant change the bizzare T-mobile theme, it comes up in every where with t-mobile
colors. So does someone did this whithout any problems, Please let me know any easy way ....
Thanks

Some programs are install from the EXT-Rom,they can't be removed from control panel.I think you need to modify or "unlock"your EXT-ROM install list with a tool,then try to remove them or do a hard-reset.May be someone has a better idea.
If you are only unsatisfied with your GPRS or network setting,you can just delete the setting in "connection"

The easyiest way to do it is:
- make a full backup
- Hard Reset
- align screen
- soft reset during 3 sec. count down before autoinstall of software included in Extended Rom.
Now U have clean system with full acces to extended rom so U can install all needed software manually (ie. MMS composer, BT patch, camera software).

Hard reset your MDA Compact (power+soft reset). Do all the neccesary steps (choosing your country and timezone) and when you get in the screen that tells you to tap the screen in order to start working, have your stylus at the soft-reset hole tap the screen with your finger and do a soft reset IMMMEDIAELY AFTER YOU TAP THE SCREEN!

MMS missing after hard reset

I did a hard reset of my T-Mobile MDA Vario II last night.
I noticed later that the ability to send MMS in the messaging application was missing. It only provides for SMS texts and email accounts, MMS is not listed.
T-Mobile suggested I do another hard reset. Does anyone know if it's possible to get MMS functionality back without doing a hard reset?
Also, the pocket internet explorer homepage is not a T-mobile customized one anymore. Instead it shows a hompage with links to 'Mobile Operator', 'OEM' and 'Windows Mobile'. If I click on one of the first two links, it starts up FIle Explorer. The 3rd link works. I've noticed it doesn't display that annoying message 'You are about to go online', so I think the T-Mobile customizations that run after a hard reset have not worked right.

Sorted. I did another hard reset, this time without the TomTom SD card loaded. It auto-played and interfered with the automatic cab customizations the first time around.

For future reference you can (re-)install the carrier specific settings by unlocking your Extended Rom and executing the cab file there. Or you can get the settings from your carrier's website and input them manually. If you use a custom rom that includes an ext rom you will have to enter them manually unless you saved off the original cab files or search the forums for them.

Thank you Zzan. Maybe one day I'll have the nerve to give it a try.
