Hi all,
there's a new ROM-Update available for Austrian Magicians aka MDA compact (Version 1.12.01 - btw, the first one that TMA offers).
You can download the 42MB update here directly from T-Mobile Austria (german site).
But take care, the update includes a new bug: After installing the update, it won't be possible to add trustworthy certificates (as used by ActiveSync when remotely to a server).
Greetings,
BGK
This "bug" is no problem -> the tool SDA-UNLOCKER will remove this lock, you can found it on www.mobilejoe.de
Cheers

Hi,
I'm about to buy a TMA MDA compact, and as I'm kind of an update-o-holic, the first thing I'm gonna do is update the hack out of this nice little device
I've read quite a lot of threads in various forums, but still a lot of questions remain.
1.
there are several 'versions' of the ROM update, which one is the "best", or - in other words - which one is the one I should install ?
(or there country differences ?)
2.
before upgrading, I'd like to backup everything that is by default on the new, fresh MDAc. Can I use Sprite to do so ? If yes, are there any special settings that have to be used ?
3.
I'd also like to get rid of the TMA-branding. Do I have to perform the necessary steps right while turning it off the very first time ?
(turn it on and before it installs the software, perform a soft reset)
If so, what do I have to do after the softreset?
(though I'm pretty experienced when it comes to PCs, I'm a noob WRT pocket PCSs...)
I've read several posts about Autoinstaller (1.61).
Do you advice to use this tool, and if yes, is there anything I should know before starting it ?
(I've searched, but couldn't find a real manual for the tool)
4.
as I've understood it so far, the Bigstorage_update is kind of a OS-hack, which allows you to access memory that you can normally not access.
Does that mean that you loose the data that this extended ROM normally contains, or can you only access the free available space that's left (more safe) ?
Is there any noob-compatible step-by-step instruction how to _safely_ update the MDAc to the latest version (incl. all side-effects that might occur).
Thanks a lot for your help, I really appreciate it !
regards
netwolf

Hello,
i am also interested in upgrading my 64Mb XDA I to 2003 Version.
Nalye: How does the Upgrade worked? Do you have any problem in using or installing? Do you have any problems using the upgraded device with german O2? How about the Home-Zone Display and whole stability?
Thanks in advance!
Miwu
a cellphone company depend on the radiostack they dont know if you connect from a nokia phone or a xda with what ever rom
as long as you set it up right
@rudegar
Thanks for answering. German o2 uses a special application with the XDA, called "Home Zone Status", whats implemented in the original ROM provided by O2. With this application you get a special sign at the top of the screen if your device is in an defined area called HomeZone. The data used by this application must be provided by the gsm-part of the device, but i think, that the T-Mobile-Rom does not support the transfer of this informations because german T-Mobile does not provide this feature.
Does anyone experienced any solution for this problem?
homezone
i dn´t know ´bout a special program for displaying the hz-status, but i´m about to call o2 for an application to fix it.
the rom i cooked works well, but as you know every data got lost (about 350 sms or so) :x
try to cook it at www.yorch.net - coz stefan´s kitchen seems to be a lil´bit slow :wink:

Hi There,
I am buying a Wizard (MDA Vario) for an Australian friend of mine that's coming over for a visit and naturally she wants the Wizard in English.
However, I can easily (and very cheaply) get the Dutch version from T-Mobile in the Netherlands since I am renewing my partners contract.
So I guess I need to flash a new WWE rom onto the Dutch T-Mobile...
My questions:
I am aware of the WWE I-Mate Rom that you can download from the club I-Mate ftp site.
1. Is this a good rom - and will it work 100% problem free with the Dutch MDA Vario?
2. Are there any other or better alternatives? any links to other roms? maybe a T-Mobile UK rom or QTEK 9100? which WWE rom is considered the most stable and non sluggish?
I appreciate you kind help and effort.
Cheers,
Lisa
Someone here flashed his vario, so it seems to work:
http://www.modaco.com/Wireless_G_problems_with_Vario-t232451.html
That seems to be true...
However, I am wondering if all works correctly after the upgrade - or are there any loose ends - like an application not running? frequent crashes etc...
I can recommend flashing always. But you have to know what you are doing. Furthermore you void your warranty doing this, so you might want to consider that while you have the chance to make a brick out of the vario.
Things like sim unlocking are easy with it so that shouldn't give you a problem.

I've been reading the forums, but I cannot find the solution to my problem. I just bought my T-Mobile MDA Compact II (HTC Artemis) in Dutch and I would like to change the language to English. I've read there's a T-Mobile ROM UK, but where can I download it? And how to install? If I connect to the FTP server the folders in Artemis are emtpy except for the EXT Rom folder. But the size of the rar's is a little low, not like I experienced with updating my rom on my Magician before. Those rar's were about 40-45MB. Anybody wants to help me please! If the thread is allready open somewheren, I apologise, please PM me then...
THANKS!!!

Edit: I read some more, got little more information, did some things. Yesterday I sim/CID unlocked my T-Mobile MDA Compact III trough imei-check.co.uk (respect for this guy!!), and now I can use it with my own carrier. Now that the simlock and CID lock is gone, I would like to change/update the rom to an English version. I don't mind the T-Mobile ROM, I only care about the English language. If it's possible to put an HTC ROM on my device, I would prefer that, but not completely necessary. What ROM should I use, because I heard that the Dutch version is the only one WITH an WiFi chip? Can someone point me in the right direction? In the FTP account I can only see the ext rom, I found this rom: HTC_1.12.405.01_026790_WWE_SHIP. Should this work with my current configuration?

Hi Robert,
Start here in the wiki. You'll find all the information you'll need to know to upgrade to WM6. There's a wealth of information there. So take your time and read through it.
Also, you can download the official WM5 from your carrier's website.
If you are unsure about something specific and it isn't answered in the wiki or forums, let us know and someone will be glad to help.
Good luck!
Hello,
thanks - i have found the wiki....
the problem, the original wm5 isn't on the carrier's website. There are no packages and no updates by t-mobile germany...
when i have the package, i would begin to update to wm6, but without the wm5 package there is no way back, i think....
Robert
I don't speak German, so you'll have to help me out on this one. But WM5 may be available here.
Now Vodafone WM6 for Herald (VPA Compact IV) is available!!! You can download it at Vodafone Homepage under Support by clicking on VPA Compact IV. In the overview it is not listed. Only by clicking on the Device in the list. Then you must type in you S/N an accept the terms of condition to download the update.
Error 270
Hello,
now i have a second problem. My Herald was bricked in case of wrong Rom installation in the past. Now Vodafone ha released the new rom, but if i want install that i get the Information that there is an update error 270 an the progress stopped directly after 1% of installation. Now i think the problem is that the updater can not read the old informations from the phone and there are corrupted datas from the old wrong rom i had installed in the past on it. Now my Question is, how can i delate the old datas on the phone to install the new Vodafone Rom? Is there a way by MITTY or some other tools?
I hope anyone couldt help me.
Thanks
WM6 Upgrade failed / for no reason / Vodafone Image corrupt?
Well, my WM6 upgrade of the Herald stopped after 1% with error 270 (image corrupted)
anyone had succes with this? I made quite a few ROM upgrades so far with different devices from the same computer. USB cable is working perfeclty. Herald had a hard reset before. So there shouldbe absolutely no reason why the WM6 upgrade should not work.
Any sugestions?
Skynet, did not read your post, had only read first entry of the thread.
I got Vodafone on the line - they will call back since the regular support person does not even know "WM6" as a epxression
For all: I suppose the signed ROM file from the updater is corrupt. Shame on Vodafone. I took me 1 hour to test every single aspect of the uprade process...

The new ROM on the Vodafone pages (at least in ther german version) is
a) the same for Hermes (VPA Comapct III) and Herald (VPA compact IV). That cannot be right!!!! It´s not the same modell
b) it´s not a german but a swiss ROM
I tried to install it on a Hermes. It must be CID-unlocked to work because it´s a german ROM branded by swisscom for Hermes
Even with a CID-unlocked Herald you cannot install it.
I can´t understand why Vodafone puts that ROM on their page. It must be a mistake!!
Let´s wait for a corrrection of it
official Vodafone statement!
i spoke with Vodafone Business Germany yesterday. they confirmed its a corrupted installer. they cannot remove it quickly (its a Big Company and it was friday....) so they told me to wait until tuesday... (written on a wm6 , sorry for the grammar)
apple*
is there already a WWE or a DUT rom available or only the GER rom?
if so, plz give me a link
new one is on!
;-)
How do you identify it as a new one? Did you upgrade succesfully?
** CONFIRMED **
Got a phonecall from Vodafone Technical Support for Business Clients: Vodafone VPA compact 4 German WM6 upgrade DOES WORK now!
(The upgrade for VPA compact 3 still does not work..)

Sorry, but it cannot work on the P4350 or the VPA comapct IV as it is a ROM for the hermes (HTC TyTN), which is a complete different device. so it´s not a wrong installer but a wrong ROM.
On my HTC TyTN it is working perfectly.
Post the ROM
I'm waiting for a Dutch Vodafone ROM for a long long time now. I'm even willing to try a GERMAN Vodafone ROM.
But (there is always as but) my partnumber isn't recognised as a GERMAN phone, so no downloading for me.(http://member.htc.com/ruudownload/Vodafone_HermesWM6SnCheck.aspx)
Please post the ROM in the uploads or somewhere.
Hacked it
Nothing a little SQL injection couldn't fix. Will try to RUU it and will upload it...
Fehler [294]: UngÜltige VerkÄufer-id
The German Vodafone ROM isn't oke for my Dutch Vodafone HTCP4350. Will upload the file... But how/where?
Hello

Thanks in advance
