hi there,
you need to cid-unlock your machine in order to be able to flash other compatible roms, i.e. an english rom like tmouk or dopod p800w from the wiki.
afaik, from my own experience imeicheck.co.uk will help you in a zip, though charge you for it. see: http://www.imei-check.co.uk/c3unlock.php
are the only ones that can help momentarrily. the board though is working on other hopefull solutions, though cant say when its successfully done!
p.s.: the deblocking done by the sales lady only allows you to use another provider/sim than the tmobile ones!!!
Thank you
how did you get the lady to unlock your phone?
do you have to pay anything?
regards
take from this!!!

I need an expert! I downloaded the RUU172126 WWE imate.exe file from iMate and tried to do an upgrade on my new 2nd hand XDA2 which runs on ROM 1.60.00 WWE. It will not load as of course the country code is not correct. Dummo didn't think about this when he purchased the unit. Do I do nothing or is there someway around this?
there is mate!
download ER2003edit.exe or xda2nbf.exe and change the operator..... since the language is both WWE for your upgrade and device...
only the operator would differ, that be O2 and I-mate...
so you have to change the upgrade's characteristics....
read ony DCS's posts on fix upgrades and downgrades
goodluck
Thanks very much Z man. I have one more request. can you direct me to where I can download the exe files?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/CompleteTools
here you go mate!
T mobile to iMate conversion
I am experiencing the 'country code error' and will use the ER2003 edit tool. What i dont get is how to change the country/operator as I dont have a code. imate does not exist in the drop down menu. Do I simply type i-mate in and proceed? Help me Zman or somebody I am out of my depth!
Hi There,
I am buying a Wizard (MDA Vario) for an Australian friend of mine that's coming over for a visit and naturally she wants the Wizard in English.
However, I can easily (and very cheaply) get the Dutch version from T-Mobile in the Netherlands since I am renewing my partners contract.
So I guess I need to flash a new WWE rom onto the Dutch T-Mobile...
My questions:
I am aware of the WWE I-Mate Rom that you can download from the club I-Mate ftp site.
1. Is this a good rom - and will it work 100% problem free with the Dutch MDA Vario?
2. Are there any other or better alternatives? any links to other roms? maybe a T-Mobile UK rom or QTEK 9100? which WWE rom is considered the most stable and non sluggish?
I appreciate you kind help and effort.
Cheers,
Lisa
Someone here flashed his vario, so it seems to work:
http://www.modaco.com/Wireless_G_problems_with_Vario-t232451.html
That seems to be true...
However, I am wondering if all works correctly after the upgrade - or are there any loose ends - like an application not running? frequent crashes etc...
I can recommend flashing always. But you have to know what you are doing. Furthermore you void your warranty doing this, so you might want to consider that while you have the chance to make a brick out of the vario.
Things like sim unlocking are easy with it so that shouldn't give you a problem.
hi I've tested a new powermap.exe dopod rom but after reboot my O2 still freez on boot screen (I can see only O2 boot screen with radio and rom version), so I can't connect my Orbit in windows mode, only in IPL boot (via usb) but I've this error when lounch any rom:

help me please!
Hi ...
If you had unlocked your Device with IEMI Check, and everything was fine, and you sure that your device is now CID unlocked, than try T-Mobile original ROM (should help) IF not? So ... Welcome Here
Cheers...
I supposte that the only way is find the original O2 GERMAN rom, anyone have it?
I'm stupid, stupid, stupid!!!!
do what j0kkk3r propose, find tmouk_shipped rom and try that one. it helped me

That's strange... I thought that you should be able to flash any ROM after unlocking, not just the original German one. Maybe something went wrong during unlocking? I suggest that you send an email to those guys from imei-check, maybe they can offer you a solution.

I've just sent email to imei support, look:
Hello,
you only can get it back to life with an O2-XDA-German-ROM (which odes not exist right now).
The other option is to send the device to repair (service centre).
The unlocker can NOT work in case your device has a malfunction (it is described in DETAIL that the unlocker requires a working ActiveSync connection on the our web site where you purchase the unlock).
Regards,
IMEI-CHECK Team

I apologize for you. My orbit was originary German and locked, so I'm unlocked it with imeicheck utility, so I was installed a HTC wwe ship rom. And yesterday I has a problem with powermap rom. Now I've solved with TMobile rom, I don't know if working because my Orbit was CID unlocked (I belive no, because if now i try to install htc wwe ship rom I've wrond ID error message..) Do you have try to install via bootloader mode? enter in bootloader, so double click on tmobile rom.
bye

Im in real trouble
Hi, I am exactly in the same situation, same thing with 3% hanging...
I have a german XDA O2, it came with german language and I tried to flash it with DOPOD ROM --> bricked! Just bootloader mode now...
As far as I "studied", I don't see any possibility for us at the moment, just to call IMEI-CHECK people and ask for their help...
Any further or better idea on the issue?
Thanks
please explain
what do you mind "just to call IMEI-CHECK people and ask for their help"?
I need any possible solution
My mda III compact is from Germany, with german language, also
The same situation.
I had mda III before, german version, and xda forum solved all my problems about flashing. I cant belive that we are helpless now
Just go on the website:
http://www.imei-check.co.uk/
and contact the guys via email, my opinion is that you need to send them the PDA and also pay something like 50 or 60 UK pounds to have it fixed and back to life...
Ciao
http://www.imei-check.co.uk/ ?
Can i trust them?
I think that sending my pda is to risk for me, i realy prefer some kind of on-line help, xda-forum... etc,
mee too but do you see around anybody able to help us?
original rom?

MDA Compact 3 III GERMAN ROM bricked solution
Hi, everybody !
I flashed many PPC PE & not PE, different langueage, etc.
this problem is not only with GER MDA compact 3, but with other like fe. ENG T-Mobile too,
and is no problem flashing and bringing life any ENG MDAc3 bricked with Dopod or other new ROM (Dopod, PDAMobis ROMs are good!),
the solution is about simple: we need now GERMAN ROM from T-Mobile
because it worked on CIDlocked devices.
But we need a whole ROM (RUU_.... .nbh) provided by GERMAN T-Mobile as RomUpgradeUtility for GER & in GER not only Windows.nb !!!
Because i have one T-Mobile with bootloader only i serched few nights on many portals for this RUU and foud nothing at this time.
If anybody want to colaborate and need help with flashing just write. I have about 10GB flashes but no mdac3ger (...not yet)
Please don't write: I need very fast the sollution ! Just help people working on this. Find something helpful.
" ...we find him, dad or alife ! " /sorry for my bad english/
Anybody found this ROM? MDA Compact 3 III GERMAN ROM I think is on the www.tmobile.de but you have to purchase a MDA from them and you have acces on the support....
German T-Mobile WM5 ROM
Have a look at the xda-dev ftp in the following directory:
XDA-DEV FTP -> "Uploads/Upload/Official MDA Compact III ROM/MDA Compact III German.exe"
It took me some time to find it on the ftp, so make sure you enter the correct path! I think this is a German T-Mobile WM5 ROM, but I'm not sure.
Please confirm it here, when you have checked it!
If you could help me with the dump, I could also give you the dump files of a German WM5 ROM. Please check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=312871&page=5
Hello;
I just got an HTC hermes today; the only problem is it is sold by Orange telecom so it is blocked and I cant use my sim card of SFR (France).
And it is with WM5.
Please help me to get a WM6.x (english) ROM for this mobile and please help me; how to deblock this phone??
Thank you very very much: badly waiting for answer.
FAISAL
First off, you need to SIM unlock to the device so you can use it on your carrier. Then go read the wiki (or stickies) and find out how to hardspl the device to put WM6.x ROMs on it.
