Just got my t-mobile MDA replaced, (broke old one) and want to update the ROM to a more recent one. I currently have 1.8. Do I need to unlock the phone 1st?
Can someone point me to the step-by-step directions to get the rom updated? Also, where do I download the official t-mobile rom. I know there are customised roms out there, but would like to start with the official one. 2.26?
Thanks for any pointers.

Hi, I am absolutely new to this, I am about to take delivery of an MDA Pro on T-Mobile, and i am wondering can i install say a jasjar or O2 rom image to get round some of the problems experienced with T-Mobiles roms?
I hope someone can help
Cheers in advance
Jonathan
yes, you can arbitrarily mix Windows Mobile core, Radio stack, and Extended ROM version.
Thank you and a further Question
By using the say Imate rom, will that eliminate the problems experienced with the t-mobile rom
Cheers and thank you
Jonathan
what problems are you having
i updated a magiacn that was ok and it totally fired it beyone repair
jesus, what did you do? You've got me a little worried now since i'm looking into cooking roms or trying some other device roms on my sx66. I was under the impression that it was relatively safe if your careful.
what did you do to fry it?
i simply downloaded a rom update off the phone porivders website,ran it and my lil magican was no more lol
this is the Universal forum. Of course if you burn a ROM for a different device then it will make poof.
Back to the question - what were your problems with the T-Mobile ROM? Were they T-Mobile issues or Microsoft issues? Or radio stack?
Where can you get T-Mobile roms from other than the ones on the WIKI (which is missing links). Do T-Mobile UK publish them, as I could not see any sensible links when I was logged in.
I'm about to buy a new unlocked HTC shadow and I'm interested in updating this device to WM6.1. I understand that the unlocked HTC version has slightly different hardware than the tmobile version....
1- I think there's three ROMs available here.. Will these ROMs work with my unlocked HTC shadow? or are they only meant for the tmobile version? or both?
2- I read on another forum about ROM updates breaking wi-fi functionality. Any info on this?
3- If needed (like returning for warantee), can I go back to the stock 6.0 ROM? How?
4- Can the device be "bricked" by the ROM update process? Does the HTC (non tmobile) device have the bootloader which can be activated by pressing the camera button at startup?
Thanks so much for any help,
Steve
I see you were also on allshadow as well... same answer here from me:
I just purchased an unlocked shadow (2007 version I guess -- htc juno) from newegg.com and it is branded t-mobile on the phone, packaging etc. I am guessing t-mobile dumped all of their stock when the new 2009 version was released.
I updated mine to the Eorfich rom and wifi works just fine. Allshadow has some wiki stuff to help both in upgrading to 6.1 and downgrading back if you feel the need.

Before updating my TMobile HD2 via goldcard I would like a backup for the original TMobile ROM. Does such a thing exist and if so can anyone give me a link to the ROM ?
Thanks
Hi, all. I also have same request, if possible. Before updating rom with new sspl I would like to know where to download my original rom, just in case of errors.
I could not find any link for this specific rom, if some of you has some links, please post them.
Thanks!
me too, its so fecking stupid that tmobile wont allow there users to update !!
has anyone tried this?
http://rapidshare.com/files/3082200...dio_Signed_15.25.50.07U_2.04.50.20_3_Ship.exe
seems to be a t-mobile shipped rom. probably u can flash without using gold card.
1.43.110.2
spent ages searching for this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5211436&postcount=18
Thanks! The only problem by now is that both links are for premium users...
there are a set of tools available under "itsutils" these tools allow you to back up ur rom...you'll need to find instructions they prob under blackstone rom section
Try this...

I too have a T-Mobile UK HD2 but a tad nervous hearing some problems in another thread. I would be grateful for any positive news from a T-Mobile UK user!
downloading it now...where did you get it from...its not on t-mobile site or in there forums..although i'm currently using 1.6 rom via goldcard
Hi guys, hopeful someone can help me...
I have the weird HTC Sense not loading problem at the moment and was about to Hard reset when i thought i may as well update my rom instead!!
I checked to see if my device was locked to Vodafone earlier by borrowing a friends Orange Sim and it work fine, connected to orange and allowed me to make a call....
So i assumed i could just download the latest Rom from HTC website and install... but i enter my S/N and it tells me that the update isnt suitable for my device!!
Anybody have any ideas?? If i get hold of this Rom and install it will it mess my phone up or is the website being dumb?? Or should i grab one of the custom Roms??

Are you on VF UK? If so you need to get the ROM from them here:
http://devicehelp.vodafone.co.uk/firmwaredevice.php?ModelID=424&e=0
OR you can go down the cooked ROM route, following this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
Yes i am on UK VF....
Thanks a lot for the link, downloading it now.. I thought i could get any update as it would let the Orange Sim work. Does that not mean its unlocked??
Thanks again for the quick response!!
Funk
It's SIM unlocked but HTC/VF have vendor locked it - basically you have to wait for VF to release the ROM to get it (unless you go down the HSPL route)...In was lucky enough to get my HD2 from Dial-A-Phone completely generic so I can get all updates from HTC direct
Ah ok, that clears that up for me thanks...
Cant see why Manufacturers bother if the sim is unlocked?? but at least they have released the latest.

Just upgraded to Artemis rom (thanks to sternas) and sense works again and phone better than ever with all the included tweeks.
Hi,
I have the G2 Touch hero on t-mobile. It has been unlocked. It currently shows as ROM version 2.73.405.5, Android 1.5.
I want to start using on 3 Network, I have their internet / phone / text package.
I'm very new to this, so please can someone help me and point me in the right direction, as I would like to know the following;
1. How do I upgrade to android 2.1.
2. How do I get the 3 portal stuff to be on the phone when I switch on each time, as I would if it was a 3 phone. In other words switch on as on 3, not t-mobile.
Many thanks for your help.
Use BTDAGs guide linked in my signature to find out how to install custom ROMs.
As yet there are no 3 customised 2.1 ROMs.
You can get the 3UK customised 1.5 ROM in update.zip format from here...
MoDaCo'S Stock ROMs + radios in update.zip format for GSM Hero
Or just use any custom 2.1 ROM and search "3 uk skype apk" and "3 uk MSN apk" for those two apps,... not sure if there are others you may want/need?
Hi ddotpatel,
If I don't use a custom rom, because I find it difficult to do, can I just get an "official" 2.1 upgrade for the phone via t-mobile or 3 network. Which would I need, as its a t-mobile phone, with a 3 sim?
Thank you,

Now Im not 100% on this.. but would the t-mobile phone not tell the update server it needs the t-mobile update regardless of the sim thats in it?
.. for example.. Ive got an unbranded hero.. with an orange sim.. but I got the unbranded update pushed through to me.

Indeed that sounds about right to me,....
There are no UK branded TMobile or 3UK 2.1 ROMs yet, they always take longer to be released. If you dont want to use custom ROMs, and are happy to NOT have root access, you can run the official RUU .exe filefor 3UK from [ROM] Official HTC Hero RUU ROM + Radio Links . This will install android 1.5 (3UK customised) and have your phone set up for updates.
WARNING,.... You might not be able to use custom ROMs ever again once updated to official 2.1.
