network wizard upgrading Dopod 838 Pro - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

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.

Aftermath of upgrading from DOPOD 900 to the new 02 EXEC ROM

Dear All,
First of all i wish to thank everyone here for their posts. After carefully reading what you guys have been discussing, I decided to give it a try and had NO problems at all upgrading the ROM. I do have one question though, do any of you guys here have any idea on how to configure 3G and MMS for Maxis here in malaysia.
regards
Go to connection setting. Add a new modem connection, simply put in anything for name and select Cellular line for GPRS, 3G. Enter 'unet' for Access point, 'maxis' for Username and finally 'wap' for password.
To setup the MMS:-
Go to MMS, then MMS configuration. Select the servers tab. Click new then
key in Maxis for Servername, Gateway is 202.75.133.49, Port no. is 8080, Server address is http://172.16.74.100:10021/mmsc, Select the 3G connection that you just created in the upper step. Select 100K for size and finally WAP2.0. Hope this help.

Dear ziadasmat77,
Was there any particular reason why you upgrade your DOPOD 900 to the new O2 EXEC ROM? Sorry for asking this as I'm quite new to DOPOD 900.
Thanking you in advance your for kind reply.
Upgrading
I am a big fan of o2, i was very disappointed when o2 exec was not going to be released in malaysia, so now at least my device performs better and looks cool with the O2 Active
I don't think upgrading to Exec is a wise choice cause by comparing the Dopod900's rom to exec, the different is so minute, in fact it make me wonder if O2 has realized their own mistake and decides to release the original rom(this new release) instead of their problematic customized version.

Thank you for your reply. I thought it was meant for performance enhancement. In that case I'll stick to the original ROM.
Anyone having problem with their 3G, especially in Penang? I'm using Maxis3G unlimited package. Previous it worked flawlessly but since yesterday, it stop to work with a message like 'cannot locate the site' or 'cannot find the DNS'.
The funny thing is when there is only a GPRS signal, i can surf properly, but once i enter a 3G coverage zone(the icon switch to show 'U'), it stop working and prompt me the above message again.
So are there a lot of people using the dopod 900 in M'sia?
My uncle told me it was about 3888 at the last PC Fair. Don't think too many people will be buying it at that price.
Modem_man,
Im one of those suckers, Could not help it, But i also bought a QTEK 9100 for my wife from singapore, saved 400 RM when compared to DOPOD838
Honestly IHMO, Dopod 900 will get the latest and better rom faster than the rest due to that Dopod is a subsidiary of HTC and as you can see the agressiveness of HTC insisting on Dopod to monopolise Asian market and how O2 loose their market in supplying HTC product in Asia
Rm3888 during pc fair? So sad i missed that.. My hubby bought it as a Christmas present for me at Rm4050 from lowyat with 1G SD and Jabra headset.. really enjoying this great invention... just wish it could be a little bit faster.. i havent tried the tweaks yet for fear that i might mess it up.. as the saying goes, if it aint broke, dont fix it
well....the price of 3888 was without the sd and the headset.
I myself have the Qtek 9000 which I just recently purchased. Both my uncle and I were debating over whether to get the Universal or not and I was finally the one who cave in. I got the Qtek at a pretty good price too. Paid about US$880 for it.
As for the popularity, it seems that a lot of the S'poreans are going towards the route of the O2Exec with Tariffs because it's a lot cheaper than buying it in S'pore. And if Dopod knows wot's good for them, they'll make it look as cool as the O2. Love the black clamshell and blue keyboard.
Concerning the tweaks, I'm slowly beginning to start tweaking the Q to work as best as I can. And maybe even change the ROM to O2's rom at a later time.
Hi,
Could someone with an English Dopod 900 ROM please dump and post to this site?
Regards
Michael
Re: Aftermath of upgrading from DOPOD 900 to the new 02 EXEC

After my Xda II died on me, I finally took the plunge and got Dopod 900 as my brithday & Christmas prezzie. Managed to beat it down to RM3,700 w/o SD or bluetooth headset.

Upgrading a t-mobile mda pro with another operator's rom

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.

Anyone got one from 3 UK??

Hi all
Just wanted to know if anyone has got this phone through the 3 UK network.
I know there would be a few people interested (including myself) if someone could upload the 3 ext ROM to the ftp.
Thanks
S.K.
hey
I'm almost certain that 3 never did the Universal in the UK.
Therefore no 3 ROM.
But you can go on any network with any ROM (e.g. I use Orange's Radio ROM with O2's main ROM on O2-UK.)
3 do the Qtek version. I dont know if it is branded 3 though - go and look in your local 3 shop and report back!
Three UK has released a qtek9000
So the answer is yes the rom must be about I for one would love to get a hold of the rom, as I am actually a 3 Network user and prefer my old O2 XDA EXEC so come on, lets find it!
3 definately have it in the Uk.
Link here http://www.three.co.uk/personal/han...omp?subleft=1&header=PAYMON&cid=1151677768856
It is branded as the qtek 9000 but i'm hoping that they have a 3 customised extended rom. Would like to have a look and hopefully port some of those cabs onto my unlocked TyTN that i'm using on 3.
Regards
S.K.

So no one has one then
What are you hoping to achieve from this rom? The 3 content which you normally get by pressing the triangle button on 3 phones?
Already managed to get access using opera browser or by changing user agent on IE.
Just wanted to get my hands on a 3 uk ext. ROM to see what's in it, and perhaps use it on my TyTN that i'm using on 3.
S.K.
Love to get the three content
I am still looking for the rom for the 3 network, as yes I do like the planet 3 triangle software addition) I am still running my XDA EXEC on an O2 sim, it is unlocked and would cope with the 3 sim, however without the goodies of a three network phone I wouldnot get the benefits of the network, So come on... can anybody provide the rom for 3?????
3 rom
If anyone could get hold of a 3 rom - or just the cabs that would be brilliant.
3 UK ROM???

dopod 838 wifi problem. just wont turn on please help

i can't seem to turn my wifi on with the command manager.. the wifi is off and i keep turning it on. i previously had WM5 but just did the CIDunlock and upgraded to TNT 1933. i thought that would fix the problem. but it didn't. please help. any input would be great! thanks in advance!
Do you happen to have a Chinese Dopod 838?
If so, it is standard feature, i.e. not to have WiFi functionality regardless the ROM version.
oh yea i do have the chinese version. thanks for the info.
It only happens on Dopod838 sells in China, Dopod 838 that sells in Hong Kong and Taiwan are wifi-enabled.
Thats not your problem! believe me. I used to have the same problem! IF YOU ARE USING THE WM5 cid locked version then probably trying to hard reset it will give you back the wifi.. It worked for me but if your using the CID UNLOCKED THEN TRY TO USE ANOTHER ROM... it will work... promise
No, China version of Dopod 838 lacks the Wifi hardware, so there is no way to get it back no matter which ROM you use.
OHH... sorry Bro but if you dont have wifi hardware then you might as well buy another ppc..
ANY mobile officially sold in Mainland China lacks of this WLAN feature - unless you get imported ones e.g. from HK as stated from Starkwong.
For HTC/Dopod models it is said that they lack of the required hardware.
Don't know for other brands though, whether they lack of the HW as well.
Just had a quick check, it seems any phone sells in China are not Wifi-enabled (Including Nokia N82). Maybe it is to protect investments of cell operators as most people in China uses GPRS monthly WAP plans...
Anybody here who has been able to port this approach (for Hermes) to the Wizard to recover from a corrupted MAC address in the EEPROM?

New Member questions

Hi guys spent last few weeks reading the forums since I got my T-mobile branded MDA plus (touch dual?) I use a couple of GPS programs on it and messenger. So far I'm managed to change the registry settings as suggested on this site. However I seem to have a really unstable 3G system, now this might be t-mobile (I'm in Glasgow Scotland) or phone problem. My old MSN client worked great so not sure if it is Live mobile that's at fault, although downloaded lastest version from here.
Now I'm considering Flashing it, it was bought from ebay to replace a stolen Vario 3 (Tytn 2) so no real contract with it. It appears to be NIKI100 from
sticker with following roms
Rom version 1.35.110.06
Radio version 1.58.16.27
Protocol version 25.61.30.03H
Can anyone tell me what else I need to find out to decide which ROM's are applicable? And which would people suggest to replace present ones with? Any help appreciated
Cheers
Ross
