I got a T Mobile MDA for a great deal even though i have the old Cingular/ AT&T service. I was wondering am i losing any features or benefits since i am using a T Mobile device with the different carrier. As in am i losing benefits of not having T Mobile or not purchasing a Cingular 8125 or even the Qtek or K Jam version.
If you were in my position would you just sell the unit and purchase the Cingular or other Wizard version available?
I appreciate any tips.
I would just reflash it with a cingular rom from the ftp site, It will work perfect.
would the cingular rom be better than the tmobile rom?
obviously it makes sense since i have cingular, just wondering if i would notice anything different or useful
I have the MDA also on Cingular Blue...
I just reflashed to the Dopod rom when I got it... just set the data settings and I was good to go (couldn't stand the pink)... even took the T-Mobile logo off.
If you are not using data then I don't think it'll affect you at all using the T-Mobile rom.
Help
How do I flash the Tmoble mda to the Cingular 8125 firmware. I tried to run the firmware update from cingular and I get a message that says unable to update check PDA. My tmobile mda is unlocked. I need to flash to the cinguarl firmware in order to use all of my media net options

I've searched this can can't find anything...I was wondering if i could use the Exec on my cingular plan without having to change anything. I'd like to be able to use my existing SIM card with it. Thanks for the help.

Yes, you can , but you need had unlock O2 Exec , I used Cingular in my Exec work fine.
I got the same problem with you, I cant get it work with Cingular service and I cant get any solutions from searching net. I have tried to talk with them, go to their stores and do whatever I can. The result still the same, it really make me headache....I have already paid for 2 months fee in "NO SERVICE" condition and they cannot do anything!
O2 XDA Exec issue with cingular ....
O2 XDA Execs come unlocked from O2. When i received mine when it came first out in early october 2005, i just plugged in my Cingular SIM and there wasn't any problems. Though note that the SIM location is a little iffy at times, you shouldn't have a lot of problems.
You would also need to configure the GPRS settings on the Exec.
BTW, noticing you're from MO, which phone were you using prior to the Exec? it might give me more of an idea of your situation ...I've been using GSM phone for a while and i know that Cingular didn't have a full GSM network until a couple of months ago ... and if you came from AT&T then that's another ballgame as well ... AT&T used a mix of different standards as well ...

I was using MDA II before EXEC. Start from May, I can't get the signal anymore, at first I thought it was my MDA problem, so I changed it to EXEC. But, who knows? The same problem still there. Cingular just blame O2 that the EXEC has problem, and they do nothing.
Are you using EXEC now? How to change the GPRS setting?
In addition, I was Cingular customer about 1.5 year already. This problem happen since May. I really have no idea how to solve it.
Is upgrading a t-mobile mda pro with another operator's rom workable? I know it's technically possible but before I risk my expensive toy I'd much rather know if someone has tried it out before, and if so, with which operator's rom??
TIA!!!
I do it all the time, only thing is you have to have your operators mms/gprs/utms settings.

Create a ROM backup before changing to the new one- just in case of any problems or indeed if you had to return the device under warranty.
Is there a rom that's preferable to use? Or are they all the same, hardware support wise?
Please pretty please? I'll settle for knowing which rom you upgraded your tmob mda pro with :-D
And BTW this is my P 100 post
Hi, I have the latest imate rom currently running on my TMobile MDA Pro, it works absolutly fine. TMob do have an AKU2 rom in production, infact it is shipping with newly purchased Pro's but as yet does not seem to be available for existing customers
If you do install the imate rom you can find the GPRS/MMS etc settings you'll need here and full instructions for doing the upgrade can be found in this post over at 4WinMobile.com.
Hi,
I've just got a new O2 XDA Exec (I like black) and my network is on T-Mobile, could i put the T-Mobile ROM on this device?
I shall also be using the T-Mobile (UK) Web'n'Walk package so i want to benefit accordingly.
Any help would be great.
thanks
Pratik
I'm pretty sure the T-Mobile ROM will work, but you don't need it to benefit from the Web n Walk package, I've switched to T-Mobile, and have just put the settings in manually and it works fine.
Cheers,
Steve
After using a Samsung i700 for the past 3 years I've moved up to the 8125. After I get this thing unlocked (I want to us T-Mobile), do I need to install a T-mobile's rom and radio rom?
Thanks in advance for all replies..
No. If you're just using the phone portion, you don't have to do anything after you unlock it. Just put your SIM card in and use it. If you want to use GPRS Internet you need T-Mobile's settings but that should easily be found @ T-Mobile's website.
I have problem getting blackberry client to work on X01HT that I had bought last week.
Currently I owned a dopod 838 pro and X01HT. I had no problem installing and getting it to work on dopod 838 pro but when I install the client on X01HT, the blackberry service will show "not connected" then "stopped". No matter how many time I restart the service / reset/ flash the unit to other carrier's rom or different bootloader version. It just doesn't work.
The X01HT has Supercid and are able to flash to any rom without problem. Just could not get the BB client working.
I had tried using different version of BB client 2.1.2.20 and 2.1.2.16.
Wonder is there is anything different hardware wise btw 838pro and X01HT apart from the keypad layout.
Both 838pro and X01HT has dopod English 1.23.707.4 bootloader 1.04.
I had also test flashing the 838pro and install the same BB client and it works on every single rom that I flash to including HTC, Cingular, Imate..
Can someone please help me. Thanks.
What airtime provider were you using on your dopod? I know that bb connect only works if the phone / pda you are using it on has the stock rom installed for the airtime provider that you have your BB contract with.
For example, I have a Vodafone BB contract. If I put a Cingular or O2 ROM on my pda and try and re-install BB connnect I will get the same error as you. The carriers tend to block devices that dont have the correct ROM installed.
They might be true, but I have a Treo 750v (Vodapone ROM) on a Cingular network and BB Connect works fine.
Thank you for your kind input. I am using the same sim card swapping between the 2 units when I am testing. As mentioned, both 838pro and X01ht are using the same rom, both are supercid. The only difference is Hermes 100 / 200 which hardware specifications are the same.
Do you think if flashing the MDA Vario II rom on X01HT might make it to work?
i.e. At least get the PIN being register on the BES server, coz right now, after I install the BB client on X01HT, not only it didn't connected, when I look @ the PIN is said "Pending".
By the way, I am using T-mobile carrier in US.
