Been waiting for this git for AGES :-
http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/download_manager_mda_vario.html
RUU_Prodigy_2210206_22102109_021911_TMO_UK_WWE_Ship.exe
I'm going to install it later on tonight !!!!!!!!!!!!

ahh thats good......
I was disappointed that my ROM rip didn't achieve what I had hoped, but now you get the full monty!!

Cool. Any idea's what been tweaked, added, fixed etc?
Anyone tried this yet? Any perfomance boosts?
Also, does anyone have any links to any more info on the update?

this is a silly question, but i keep getting confused. Are the "vario" devices the same as the "MDA" in the US? i have the US T-Mobile "MDA" but not sure if it is a VARIO or VARIO PRO, I, II, etc.
i'd like to download the official tmo rom for my device with msfp but so far i can't find it, so i'm just using one of the custom roms for now.
second question, the http://t-mobile.iris-global.com website, is there an equivalent US website?
thanks.

man did a hard reset last night, will have to do one tonight too!!! well soods law!!!

well, just done mine, and the first thing it noticed is that the battery icon in teh top right is now green, where as it was white like the otehr icons. Any idea how to change it back, it looks ugly!

why am i still seeing
RUU_Prodigy_1060204_105_11210_TMO_UK_Ship.exe?
very strange, even when i click download its the above file.
im not to bothered really anyway, im happy with the Mr Clean 2.3 rom for the moment!

Just got off the phone with T-mobile US tech support and the answer is NO. The update is only for UK and German T-mobile users. T-mobile US will NOT support the update. However, the tech told me they are testing the new OS update for US, but there isn't a release date set as yet.
BTW the MDA in US is called MDA II or HTC or I-mate something...

I have just upgraded to the new ROM and the other problem I've found so far is that the camera seems to ignore the 'night' mode now and just treats it like 'auto' mode, i.e. pictures taken indoors are practically black.

DAMN and still no support for AKU2 BB Connect..........wtf

does anyone know why they have pulled the update and has anyone downloaded it and can put the file on the FTP? email if you do [email protected]
Edit : Just came back on

There actually will be a BB Connect update, but not before end of july 2006

if i do this update will i be able to restore my settings etc. from an SBP backup or will i have to set everything up again by hand?
also is the sound quality in calls any better with this update?
cheers.

i think something is different cus i did that and it did not like it, so have to start from the start again

Is this the AKU2 update?

If anyone can suggest a fix for this problem I'd very much appreciate it. It's like it's ignoring whatever exposure settings it has :?

@bryanparke: as a wiseman once said, the only silly question is the one not asked!
The T-mobile US MDA is indeed the equivalent of the european MDA Vario.
They are both based on the wizard design by HTC.
@everyone else: Now that t-mobile have released the AKU2 rom, lets see how much they charge for the privilege of using it. Lets Hope it's cheaper than orange!

Huh ... it's a free download.

not the download, the service - orange have set their roms so the push email goes through another APN so they can charge you extra for the privilege of push email!

I don't see how they can differentiate however the only thing I can think of is if you were to be using orange e-mail ... if you have access to an exchange 2003 sp2 server (or online equivalent) then wouldn't it just be a gprs connection.

network wizard upgrading Dopod 838 Pro

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.

SPV M700 and 3 Network

Hello All,
I have just come across this site...looks very informative.
I am looking at getting a used M700 which I would like to upgrade the firmware to the WM6. I obviously want the most stable firmware where I don't have to keep resetting the phone everyday.
I am interested in using the following:
Voice calls
SMS
WiFi
GPS with TomTom 6
Internet via 3 network where WiFi is not available
I assume once I update the firmware the phone would be unlocked so I can use the 3 SIM so which firmware is the most stable.
Thanks all for your help.

someone must be using this phone with 3??

There are a lot of ROMs for the Trinity. Each ROM cooker invests a lot of time creating something that he / she may get nothing in return for. By saying that one is a lot better than the others is in many ways disrespectful to the other ROM cookers.
I suggest that you take a day off work and read, read, read, read this site - each ROM thread - to see what comments individuals leave regarding each ROM.
I have tried many excellent ROMs listed on this site - and each has its plus and minus points. Different versions of different ROMs can be extremely different, too - so check out version details.
If you want WWE (WorlWideEnglish) You won't go far wrong with any of: (Sorry if I've forgotten you - make sure your ROM is on the Available ROM Versions page)
adewidt (ADW), AX3L, Black and Blue, bepe, FInixNOver, MARY, PDAVIET, Schap's or udK.
Personally, I've stuck with ADW 1.1 for a while - even come back to it - and will try out 1.2 shortly.
I would strongly suggest using a WM6 or WM6.1 ROM as opposed to a WM5 ROM. Good luck - and why not try the different ROMs out...

I put one on last year just after getting my m700, Lsvw I think it was. Not touched it scince. needs a reset once ina awhile, but like Broadband Providers and Mobile Carriers..... you pays your money and takes your choice (of course no money needed for the ROM's :0 )

Thanks for the replies.
Obviously it is great that someone can invest time and effort and provide a product for no financial reward.
Will probably try out a few ROMs first before choosing one, once I get the M700 that is.
Thanks again.

I bought an Orange SPV M700 recently and have now unlocked it using http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Trinity_SimUnlock , upgraded the radio to 1.50.08.11 using http://trinityguides.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=38&Itemid=66 and installed this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368569
The ROM comes with Opera Mini 4 built in and it all works a treat on the 3 network in the UK including Tomtom 6 with traffic updates.

Many thanks for the reply jackass.
How is the internet speed via 3.5g?

The speed seems good. I can't give you any figures though. Seem to get HSDPA in most populated areas. I was in Cornwall last week and got good speeds.

Hey Jackass, I have got the M700 flashed to the ROM you are using and I am well impressed.
Just wanted to know if you can help with the planet 3 settings which I am having some issues with. I can only really see my3 and everything else is blocked.
Are there some settings I can change to get planet 3 working?
Also do you have a slight delay in the phone ringing, I see a delay of about 1-1.5 seconds...no huge problem but just wanted to know if you have the same issue and if you have found a solution?
Many thanks for your help

HTC Touch Dual on 3 Mobile (UK)

Hi there.
I recently purchased an MDA Touch Plus (HTC Touch Dual) locked to T-Mobile - I am currently waiting for oli to send me the unlocking took after paying the £5 so can't do a lot at the moment obviously, but just so I am prepared I thought i'd ask.
Now, ultimately, I intend to use this phone on O2 Simplicity, but for the next couple of months i'm on 3 mobile still.
Can I use this phone on 3 mobile straight away or do I need to change anything? I have heard people say it can't be used on 3 mobile but others say it works fine, http://www.johnwordsworth.com/blog/ says he used a TyTnII on 3 with no problems but he downloaded 3.cab from here - what is this 3.cab and what does it do? Do I need one for the Dual?
Any help and assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time and effort.

Once you have unlocked it you would need to gain a cab for whatever service provider you are intending on using, the cab will contain important settings enabaling mms, text, gprs setting for that network provider. my device was locked to orange after unlocking i simply installed the t-mobile cab i found on this forum and was able to use the services i needed, hope this helps.

Anyone know where I can find the 3 Mobile (UK) .cab for the Dual? I have had a look but it is difficult to search for '3' to be honest.
How do I debrand the Dual so it doesn't have the T-Mobile icons, such as Web n Walk etc?

heres for cab http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=301279 - cant remember how i got rid of all the orange bits on my device think poked around in file explorer and removed a lot of bits from there

I've used a Touch Dual on 3UK since before Christmas - works fine for me. The only thing that doesn't work is 3's own pages, i.e. their music store, TV, etc etc but that's not a problem for me personally.

Planet 3 ROM

Hi, anyone got Planet 3 ROM for WM6.x?
I know some will say search for it and I am not going to do it, and I will ask straight question. Thanks.
There is 3 Extended ROM for Australian 3, so what about UK ROM?
There was recent one for Qtek 9000, will this work on WM6.x?
Thanks.

So let me get this straight... you're looking for a ROM.. for WM6? how many of those are there for every single model of phone? and just because one country has a ROM for a network it doesnt mean every other country must have the same thing. Honestly, just check their website if you want the specific ROM or contact customer service.
