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.

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
Hello!
I have a Dopod 838 Pro and live in the US.
I bet you can tell what my next question is...
How can I update the Network Wizard to include carriers here in the states? (specificaly Tmobile).
I'm having problems with a multitude of different things and would love to try using some prefab settings to see if they might help knock out a few of my issues.
Would love some help!
Thanks in advance.
aw cmon
I know it can be done, as the super rom that you can download has all sortsa different ones that were injected by whomever made it.
A little help? It's Thanksgiving?
Another request for this - I hava an Australian 838Pro and have just arrived in the US for 5 months, and the network wizard isn't so keen on my T Mobile SIM
Bump..
You know you want to help.
Hi Everyone,
I have just literally purchased a T-Mobile MDA Vario. The only thing I don't like is the fact that it will no doubt arrive full of T-MObile sh*t.
I have browsed the web and from what I can tell, it looks possible to install the Qtek 9100 ROM on this device if I want to?
Does anyone/everyone have any recommendations as to whether one ROM is better than the other?
I am looking for a simple, stable functional ROM, I don't want anything jazzy or customised by the operator (like my T-Mobile SDA II was!!!!)....
Thanks!
Mike
Anyone know what it's for?
How would this effect someone that is running wm6 etc?

The upgrade would wipe your current WM6 install and put you back to WM5 I would guess... so not really applicable to you!
Theres a radio upgrade in there. 1.38.30.10
Install it then install wm6 over it.
I still have to sort out what to apply from the extended rom file Telstra_ExtROM_1.31.305.107_JasJam.zip.
It has new services which i guess you have to pay to use, so it is a bit irrelevent and a waste of space, to most.

I have upgraded my Jasjam and it has much better signal quality but I haven't upgraded to WM6 because I was talking to someone from I-mate support and they said that they would be releasing a WM6 upgrade for the Jasjam within the next few months.
Hey guys,
When you upgrade to WM6, do any of you do a registry hack for the Telstra UMTS settings.
This thread on whirlpool talks about it (this is an old update for wm5)

I am a little worried that using say black 2.0 the band selection is not quite right.
I have a Cingular 8525 and it is unlocked and I use T-Mobile service with it. I see that T-mobile has released the WM6 upgrade... http://home.businesswire.com/portal...d=news_view&newsId=20070502006572&newsLang=en
My question is should I upgrade using the T-mobile version or should i wait and get the cingular version of WM6? Also, is it worth the trouble to upgrade? Im a pretty heavy user of all the features of the phone.
Also, what software would you recommend me using to backup my programs on my phone if i do upgrade?
Thanks in advance,
Rjp20
Anyone??? Can anyone help???
T-Mobile have released a WM6 update, but it's for the Dash - a completely different device to the 8525 you have.
There is a forum devoted to WM6 and Hermes here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=355
I'd try searching that forum, the wiki, etc.
Read through the posts on all the different ROM's, This will lead you to make the decision your looking for in regards to WM6.
