What rom to install on UK T-Mobile MDA Compact? - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

Sorry for being thick, been searching ages for what roms and stuff i need to update my phone. I have downloaded JAM_WWE_11100_132_11100 buit i juse get a country id error. Im sure i could search for how to change the country id code, but will this mess the phone up?

I have the same problem.
I tried all the ROMs I can find, I tried changing the ID's of the ROMs to T-MOB005 or something like that, nothing works.

Chinese ROM : BIG WEIRD PROBLEM !?

Hi guys, I have just flashed the Chinese ROM to my o2 exec, it works fine and all, but the only thing I don't understand is that I cannot install and successfully run any pragrams from the memory card, in order for it to run I have to install to the actual PPC. Also if I go into file explorer the layout is different to that of the english ROMS as I cannot go into windows/startmenu/programs and manually put shortcuts in from the memory card therefore no need to install on ppc. I love the Chinese ROM and have finally got round to flashing it, but if I have to install everything on the ppc then I think I will have to flash back to English ROM as I use alot of programs.
Can anyone help me at all? I really want to use the Chinese ROM but I must be able to use it like the english ROMS.
PLEASE HELP
surely someone?
Which version of Chinese ROM is it? I must say that the Chinese ROM doesn't seem to be as reliable as the English versions, which is why I had gone back to the JasJar WWE ROM with Monster Chinese installed.
there is only one available on this site/buzz site
That's the one I used as well.
There is a newer version from the official website:
http://www.dopodasia.com/download/UNI_DOP_OP_130108_130219_11100_CHT_Ship.exe
Updated 19/5/2006
I haven't tried it though so good luck with it!
I might even upload this version onto Buzz's site.
good thanks for that !
I'm determined to get a working Chinese ROM so I am downloading it now and gonna try it, even though it is 4am in the morning and I am knackered after a 10hour shift lol !
The main thing I like about the Chinese rom is the hand writing recognition is much better than the 3rd party ones u can put on the english roms.
Agree. The hand-writing recognition is pretty cool, but I prefer typing in English when I'm in a hurry. Also, whenever I wanted to type in English, I had to select "English" on the on-screen keyboard, otherwise it start typing in phonic Chinese. Very annoying, so I gave up.
OK all sorted and working perfect and totally stable, I downloaded and installed the new ROM but it done exactly the same and did not run programs from memory card, after alot of frustration I finally sorted it, I also had to modify the ROM before I could flash it on to it as it kept on coming up ID error.
Anyway all working now apart from using the Chinese ROM no-matter what I do I cannot get my MMS inbox back up, I have installed the o2 cab file that I normally use on the english ROMs to get the MMS back, but it don't seem to work on the Chinese ROM.
Any ideas?
That's all I need now to make it PERFECT
About the ID error (country ID error?):
There is a ROM upgrade tool made specifically for country ID error messages: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Instructions for those with Country Code error
I'm afraid I can't help with the MMS problem. Maybe you haven't set up the GPRS properly.

why is my imei coming up as xxxxxxx??

hello everyone miss me ? hope u all forgive me for my behaviour and i deserved getting temp banned i was out of line i,m soooooooooorrrryyy .

Try reflashing the Radio ROM or the complete ROM. Also make sure you have applied the AthenaUnlocker before you do.

But this ROM sets your IMEI to XXXXXXX that right? :-/
my imei is corrupt
hi,,,the imei got corrupted upon me flashing it with a rom i obtained from another site ,,,since then its messed up my imei ,,,the sad thing is if this handset got stolen i dont think the network providers can do nothing to block it or barr it and i messed up my warranty
i,ve tried to speak to other engineers about this they dont wanna know because imei modification or even messing with it in the u.k is very illegal but all i want to do is get my original imei back and seems no one will help me or even point me to the right direction of doing this ,,thus i have lost my gps that wont work anymore
.
i tried using the tool called iwizard which can modify or change imei's on htc platforms but it doesnt support the athena its only for older model handsets.
besides the roms from xda developers i have been using since i owned a blueangel device and not 1 of them has caused me problems only serious issue i have had is with mr lumpistefans rom which has made my wallaby device dead!! and i am saddened to lose my old wallaby because of his roms
I'm sorry to hear of you news. I'm aware that IMEI alteration is illegal in the UK, but thought that for genuine reasons such as this some of the phone shops you find round major towns such as London may be able to assist (for a fee). If you take original documentation, like the sticker on the box and the unit to verify that that was the genuine IMEI, and it is restoration that you're after not alteration..... I don't know, someone might be able to help...
---
But just to confirm, if I use the German WM5 T-Mobile ROM on my UK Ameo, that currently has a English WM6 it should operate, and keep my IMEI... the only thing will be the language, which I take it that CAB file you provided will restore, and EVERYTHING will be in English? That right?
cheers!
my imei is corrupt
hi and yes buddy all should be fine like i said this rom is ok and genuine from german t-mobile site and the same rom is available on the ftp developers site ,,just use the the english cab file and your ready to go
and in theory this cab file should work on other foreign language roms also
and i did try to contact shops regarding my imei none want to help they said nothing can be done

How to set Operator ID in WM6 ROM?

I have installed xplode WM6 latest ROM on my BA. I am continuously getting "Roaming Triangle" though I know I am in the no roam area. I used GetDeviceData.exe to extract device internal data and I find it shows AT%CID? and not my previous XGULA01 as Operator Id.
I believe this is one of the cause of getting continuously "Roaming Triangle".
Please suggest how to change it back to XGULA01 in ROM.
What other needs to be done to install this ROM with changed Operator ID?
Read about this earlier as related to WM6.
Do some search in other forums (not only BA), I read e.g.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=273385&highlight=Roaming+Triangle
Good luck!

Thanks for your suggestion and reference, I had already searched the matter at many other places too and no one has a clue so far.
I was further researching and found that one of the possible causes is the Operator code that gets embedded into the ROM. I wanted some one to give me a correct method to change the Operator code of the ROM else I have a chance to loose my device.
Op code was needed for upgrading the old 2003 roms.
Here is a cut and paste out of wiki Ba for begginers.
Note : Because of historical reason you can read it. But there is a utility MApgradeUt_noid.exe we are using for flashing without the need of changing so Operator code etc.
When flashing WM6 roms you are not confronted with this issue.
Best stop is wiki.

Upgrade from wm5 to wm6

hi, i have a tmobile artemis with wm5 on it, when i try downloading the upgrade file from the htc website.
when i put in my serial no it shows: Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.
not sure if it's just my phone not bein able to handle the software or just the fact that i got it from tmobile, not htc.
would anyone be able to post a solution to this, or the actual upgrade file, if it's possible to get it to work?
many thanks.
Either go to T-Mobiles website and try to download a WM6 ROM from them. Or go to the wiki, read about USPL and then download and flash the HTC ROM from the links in there.
thanks for the reply, sorry im kinda new to this.
finally got it to work, tried a few times not sure if it's me takin out the sim card or just plain luck but its all workin now

Cant download new ROM 1.72 from htc

Hello, i have a htc hd2 on tmobile, but the phone its self isnt marked as t-mobile anywhere on it.
I selected to mobile
htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=2&dl_id=936
and entered my S/N but it said my model isnt supported!
Why is this? will it do any harm to get the rom elsewhere and download it anyway? im guessing the S/N check is there to make sure that i dont download it for a reason.
Is there anywhere i can get the 1.72 rom for mmy phone? i am currenttly on 1.66 rom.
Thank You
i also have a HD2 without any branding visible, yet when i entered my s/n it went straight through...
however, the 1.72 rom i downloaded was a tmobile branded rom...perhaps the s/n are pre-registered to tmobile from the htc factory???
UK Vodafone
Here is the link for the Vodafone 1.77....

could i please have the serial number youve used so i can download? i dont see what the difference is between mine and a t-mobile bought one, the hardware and software is still the same.
go look in rom development section, leo official roms thread, first post first link, all the branded and unbranded stock roms.
sorry, i cant find the s/n in that post, there are hundreds of pages!
I want to be safe and download direct from theri website really.

I think he was trying to direct you here..........
You'll find the rom you need in here without having to use a s/n...
They're exactly what you'd get from the HTC site, for some reason the download from HTC keeps cutting out so I'm just getting it from here.
Hope that helps......
ok, thank you very much!
ive just downloaded the TMO UK 1.72 and tried flashing it, but i recieve an invalid vendor ID error message.
I recieve a text from t-mobile today, telling me that i can update my phone to this rom, so i dont see why it shouldnt be compatible!
Any way of forcing it to flash?
p.s i bought this phone online as a generic phone from mobilephonesdirect.co.uk.
I am on contract with t-mobile
any ideas?
what is the HTC_HD2_RUU_Leo_HKCSL_WWE_172 rom?
It over 395 people have downloaded it, is this a generic one? it seems to be a higher version to the tmobile one which i have been advised to update too.
Thanks
As far as I know wwe is the generic one, i cant give you an answer as to whether thats the one you need or not, if it wont let you flash the T-Mo rom then I'd guess you need the wwe, like I said I'm not sure though.....
ok, ill see how it goes. It is slightly annoying tho, does the t-mobile rom give you better reception? im just thinking that if i switch to a generic rom, then there wont be the specific t-mobile radio anymore. (if there is such a thing!)
I get the same error message... Invalid vendor ID!...
.............................................
Omg whats happened! My phone has got stuck on the htc screen!!
It didnt even flash anything it said! What can i do!!??
Sorry to hear that, i notice your other post saying a hard reset fixed it....
I guess your going to need to read through a lot of threads to find out which rom you need for your phone, the answer will be in here somewhere......... sorry i cant help you any more than that...

then you don't have a t mo branded phone, you have a generic phone network locked to t mo.
you need to use roms that say HTC WWE and not tmouk wwe

thanks, but i tried the WWE one and thats what seemed to have locked it up!
so, the t-mobile one came up with the error and so did the generic WWE one, expect the WWE one locked the phone up on startup.
