Hi,been using ppc/pda etc for a long time but taking a different route and needed help on the best setup.i bought a cingular 8125 from the states and it should be here any moment now :lol: I'm on T-mob. Would like to change the ROM to the fastest and most stable one possible but with the O2 album program (for some reason I like it) and Tmob MMS settings??? Is this all possible (obviously I'll unlock it for my Tmob sim,any need of CID unlock?? ).Anyone got any suggestions pls. Need help definitely!!! :? Thanx.
For your case, I won't suggest you do a ROM upgrade yet. You can hard reset your device, exclude the installation of the Ext ROM. Find, from this web site, the Ext ROM of O2 and you should be able to get the 'album' (whatever it is) thing you mentioned.
And, for MMS settings, you may check on the net for Tmobile UK settings, if you are able to find that in your phone. If not, you need to dig for the MMS setup CAB file from the Tmobile Ext ROM.
You should not need to CID unlock your phone unless you are trying to do an 'unofficial' ROM upgrade/flash.
yes, I also suggest looking the FTP for the MMS cab for UK, if its there, I never really paid attention for the UK cab
Thanx for the advice.Question here : is there anything in particular that I miss when not installing the ext rom after the hard reset? What does that part usually contain out of interest?

OK, i have finally taken the plunge and got a working ROM dump from my v1640. I have tested this rom, and it can be flashed back and it works (includeds the extended rom and version 1.09.00 radio).
If anyone wants this ROM, please post here and i will upload it to the FTP (I don't want to go wasting space on the FTP site, or my upload allowance if no-one is going to use it)
I know that this is an older ROM, but with all the new ROMs from other providers out, and the lack of one from Vodafone, i know that some people will be wanting to upgrade to a new ROM, but will be wary to do so without the option to go back to original. There may also be people who want to experiment and see how this rom performs compared to other ROMs.
I also have the ms_.nbf file for the extended rom if anyone wants it seperately.
Great,
I'm really interested. In fact I'mplanning to upgrade my v1640 ITalian version and I'd like to have a backup.
I assume your image is the English one.
Could you send to me an howto dump my Italian image?
Or maybe I can try with some product like sprite clone?
Thank you

OK, basically i have outlined the procedure below (thanks to buzzdev and this site for all the great information)
First, you need a "host" rom upgrade to butcher. what you need to do is use winzip to unpack the exe into a file. you can delete the nk.nbf that is extracted.
http://buzzdev.net/component/option...view/id,8573/catid,33/limit,15/limitstart,30/
I used these instructions to dump the rom (its pdocread that you need, so the rapi enable cab)
http://buzzdev.net/content/view/65/115/
I used this to encode the ROM to nk.nbf
You will need to set version and operator code (Voda_001)
http://buzzdev.net/content/view/63/45/
I also unlocked the extended rom, and then decoded the extended rom (ms_.nbf) in the qtek flasher that i was butchering and replaced all the files in the qtek extended rom with all the files from the vodafone extended rom (ms_.nbf).
I also added the 1.09.00 radio image to my sollection of files, just so that the upgrade was in there.
Finally, to make it work, i used the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to allow me to flash it.
This should give you a working rom, and will also give you the extended rom as a file that you can inject into another operators upgrade utility to have all the nice vodafone settings
Hi
I've been trying to get Vodafone live working on my Jasjar
does the V1640 Rom allow for Vodafone live ?
In that case i would be interested else i'll just wait for the Official Vodafone Live Update
Has anyone else had some luck with VLive?
Unluckilly, i have not got LIve working fully. i have however got it working partially and you do not require the voda rom to do it.

For voda in UK (maybe same for other countries), there are 2 connections required - one for internet, and one for wap. You need the connection details for both (set wap as the default work connection and internet as ISP)
the url for live is wsp://live.vodafone.com

Click to collapse
You will also need to setup the 2 connections as follows (the WAP one is NOT setup by the extended rom cab)
HelioFA said:
"ISP" connection
APN - internet
User and pass - web
"Work connection" (For vodafone live)
APN - wap.vodafone.co.uk

Hello,
Does the extended ROM file have settings for Vodafone SPAIN? for MMS, Vodafone, Live 3G Settings?
Hi
On the New Imate Rom the South Africa Settings for Vodacom Live called vlive! is on the rom but it seems incorrect.
You cannot even connect to 3G or Wap using those settings. We had to re-install the previous Vodacom CAB file to get 3G connectivity working
I took the South AFrican settings of a Nokia 6680 (which connects) and set it up on my Jasjar without success then it's the same I cannot connect
They may just have a setting if Phone=JasJar then access=NOHighWAY Option on their APN
We tried the same settings on a HSDPA card and the same happened but we saw that the vlive! exclamation mark gets lost
Personally i think it's a way to block "unwanted" machines and PC's to access their content as people may be able to copy it, using anything other than a Joda-phone ... :roll:
Yes please
I'd like access to the original ROM so if you could upload it that would be great.
OK, gonna zip it and upload it tonight. it will be in the XDA FTP and will be labeled
Pls send me the htp so I can use it too thk you. by the way it wont make my phone lock the signal back again right ? cause now it is unluck to use with any carrier
Dear Heliosfa,
could I have one copy of your V1640 Vodafone UK original ROM ?
I'm so desperated because my old V1640, at this moment, run only in the "bootloader mode" and, if I try to install any coocked ROM not original,the installation stopped at 7% (max 8%) .
Thanks for your help .
Excuse me for my english .

Hi guys
Just a quick question and I hope you guys can answer me.
I have got the MDA Vario with T-Mobile and have upgraded the ROM to 2.17.7.2 WWE (this is the Qtek Rom) and it works just great.
My question is, however, can I downgrade this ROM to the original T-Mobile ROM it came with?
I am wondering since I want to send the phone back to T-Mobile but am worried if they see I have upgraded it they will not take it back.
Please help.
Thanks kindly
You'll need to use lokiwiz to unlock the device and then reinstall the opriginal ROM. As you have an AKU2 ROM you'll need to downgrade the ROm first to an old custom QTEk ROM and then run lokiwiz to unlock then re-install the ROM. There s along post on this forum or the upgrade forum on how to do this. There are alos posts re putting the device back into it's original state if you need to ship it back to a vendor - can't find them just now but would suggest you trawl the forums... painful though it may be
Hey thanks loads. I have looked around to try and find how to restore everything but can't find it yet. I'll carry on looking but if you can suddenly remember where they are I'd appreciate it
Also, do I have to downgrade the QTek ROM first, or can I just install the T-Mobile ROM straight away?
Thanks again

Does it matter that the link above looks like it is for US? I have UK T-Mobile
DaveyG th solution is explained at http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...IBwAAABi/2UG&bcsi_scan_filename=viewtopic.php
If you want a TMo UK ROM got ot the TMo UK Site http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/mdas.html
Thanks JoninLA, the phone is unlocked using Loki already as that is how I upgraded the ROM, but I will make sure I have unlocked it and then install the original ROM from the T-Mobile site.
Thanks so much again, now I should be able to send it back, providing it all works...
Has anyone managed to successfully upgrade or change rom?
If yes, what rom did you start from and what steps for the upgrade/transition?
This will be useful information for all.
THanks,
I'd like to know the same thing. My Orbit came loaded with TMo MDA Compact III ROM instead of O2 ROM. Needless to say I'm a bit peeved. The vendor is trying to fix but I really need the UK or WWE English ROM for O2. Has anyone dumped this ROM?
well,
on the wiki you will find the tmobile uk wwe rom. this is flashable if your machine is cid unlocked-in case it is not(standard) you will get kicked out off the installation by a comment named "wrong ID model" at about 3% of the running routine.
to unlock cid and flash the named rom, afaik the only way is to pay imeicheck.co.uk.
afaik there is no other vendour rom available yet, meaning no chance to fully switch to e.g. O2 etc.
alternatively you can exit the installation prior to extrom installation via a softreset at the 3second count. this not installing your provider cabs, you can then download the various available extrom cabs from the wiki and install them manually by copy and double-tap on your device.
Thormdac,
This is helpful info. Can you help me with this question: I have a greek htc p3300 rom but I would be happy to have the English version. Should I simply prevent ext rom from installing or do I need to change rom? If I need to change rom will I be able to do so or could it be locked to the Greek rom?
Thanks,
dear apap,
language is purely locked to the rom version and has simply nothing whatsover to do with the extrom version cabs you install!!!
in order to change language to english then you have to use a rom stating...."wwe" somewhere in its declaration.wwe=worldwideenglish.
now your machine "htc p3300" is with wireless lan, right? afaik, the tmouk rom has not implemented wlan on my german hero(without wlan!). the community here still isnt sure where the wlan comes from, the chip or the rom. so if i remember correctly and the tmouk rom not having wlan support, but your machine needing it, then once u unlocked cid and install the tmouk rom should end you up not having a functional wlan! in case we suppose wrongly...you are the guinnea-pig...you should have wlan. confusing? well i simply dont know off by heart any more about the uk machines having or not having wlan.
greetz
Helpful once again Thermdoc,
The Greek version does have wlan so I will wait to see if somenoe manages to find a wwe rom that is wlan enabled before experimenting.
cheers, apap
Anyone know where I can find the above.
Have got an XDA Exec running WM6, but will be getting a new simcard from T-Mobile over next few days, and no doubt there will be a few cabs I need from the ExtROM.
Thanks
If you're running WM6 then there's not much point using the apps/settings off the T-Mo extrom. If you really really want it, just download the ROM package off the T-Mobile site and use winrar to pull the ext romout.
Also there's one on the ftp archive but I think it's actually quite old. Check it anyway.
FYI The current T-Mobile Image is on: http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/download_manager_mda_pro.html

Many thanks for the replies
Newegg has unlocked cingular 8100 phones for $149. I would have put a link but I can't since I am a new user. (to find it search "htc 8100" on the newegg website)
I picked one up and unfortunately WM5 aku 2 doesn't allow me to connect to the WPA-AES wifi where I work. I have done a lot of searching and if I can cook a rom with aku 3 or later this will fix my issue.
Can anyone give me some recommendations on how to take the default rom and apply the latest aku to it?
Thanks
Edit1:
I found the tutorials on how to dump the ROM so I am going to have to wait for my sd card to arrive before I can proceed. I also might have found a cab file for the aku3.3 on the ftp site. I will probably read up on what exactly I need to do to apply the aku 3.3 later.
first check if you have a g3 or g4 device. then get the correct hard spl then apply it. then cid unlock. then flash the rom of your choice. if you need any help feel free to pm me.
