I bought my Magician on eBay and it is the best phone I have ever had. The phone is amazing. But of course 2 months have passed and I am dying to improve the phone. The Brand is a DOPOD 818, which is the HTC magician or Imate JAM.
I see everyone here has the ROM 1.06, mine is 1.01.00WWE with a ROM Date of 10/21/04/ I am sure I should be upgrading my ROM for the enhancements but I am not sure how or where to go.
Everyone says to go to Club Imate but unfortunately my IMEI is registered through DOPOD and not Imate. The DOPOD site does not look like it has an updated ROM.
Can I use a generic ROM? Where can I get one? I am in the USA using T-Mobile, if that helps.
Please let me know what I should do.
Thanks,
John
Hey guys just got word that Universal releases in a couple days in Germany. Im going to have my order in, in two weeks. Does anybody know if an unlocked version bought from Germany will work in the USA?
All German MDA Pro's will ship with a German Rom and a QWERTZ keyboard. Not worth buying. Wait for the Imate or Qtek version
Making the device english is not hard.
Itsme has provided all the info i need to make it english
just like did when the xda2 came first in germany.
Can we switch the keyboard layout you think?
hello everyone. i hope my question isn't 'off-topic'.can somebody please tell me when there will be an english rom that could substitute the german one provided with the mda vario that comes from t-mobile?the reason is that i would like to change the german rom with the english one,because i do not speak german but i bought the phone from germany where i was the past weekend.thank you all in advance!
German ROM in Vario
I am not sure, but the Qtek 9100 or I-Mate K-Jam ROMs should be pretty much useful for U, if you can get them.
Wher the hell did you buy the MDA vario in Germany? I am living here and I can not get it. When I was trying to order it from T-mobile I was told on the phone, that the units will be available on January 18, 2006 ! C R A Z Y ! !
to all of you asking from where i got it let me tell you that i bought from dusseldorf from a cousin of mine.but from what i know many people got through the net from well known german sites! but what i am asking is if there is an english rom to change the german one?please if someone knows...

Officially no "cousins" :shock: and no well known german sites do sell the Vario in Germany, yet. If you really have it - U R LUCKY!
@ fut. problem: You could also try the US ROM form the US-version of the Vario. Maybe using the miniSD card and the backup software /w "backup/restore All data".
I just bought MDA Vario and have the same problem(((( everything is in dutch PLUS it's sim-locked. ANYONE HELP!!!!!!!!!
""Officially no "cousins" and no well known german sites do sell the Vario in Germany""

Hi!
I just called the O2 Germany Hotline to get my XDA mini S replaced (stylus silo and paint peel issues). :roll:
I then asked the guy about a release date for AKU2 update.
He looked at his list of roms and told me that there is a "aku2-rom" marked "27.3."
After that i asked him when there will be an 3g enabled "xda mini s" like "mda vario II". (To be honest i played a little "stupid" :lol: ) He then looked at his list of roms again and told me that there actually is a "3g rom" marked "19.5." After he told me that information he quickly asked me to hang on ...silence... and then he told me that he just got told by his colleague that the "xda mini s" is not 3g enabled and i should forget that information and he has no idea when a 3g-enabled xda will be released :shock:
Greetings from Germany!

Damn... End of May! Nice work!
Thanks - new it must be getting close. See the qtek 9600 post (same device) below - you can preorder it
http://www.coolsmartphone.com/news2436.html
Coolsmartphone reports that the Qtek 9000 will be on 3 over the next comming months (probably never or in Autumn :shock: )
Thats good news for you lot looking for operator settings :wink:
Coolsmartphone is surprised at them picking Qtek over making its own brand. Probably because operators want to move out since HTC is releasing its own brand and because Qtek are the only manufacturer to give A2DP.
Off topic... what do you think is going to happen to i-mate now HTC is merging Qtek and Dopod into the HTC brand? I read on MSMobiles that i-mate plans to release over manufacturers devices and not the O2 Atom!!! It becomes more interesting now and lets hope that operators keep on selling HTC handsets.
