I have tmobile mda from usa and i SIM Unlocked and CID Unlocked it using the 0.2b unlocker from machinagod.
1) Which is the latest OFFICIAL Rom i should upgrade to?
2) Which is the latest Unofficial Rom to upgrade to?
3) Going by version numbers the Dopod WWE Rom seems to be newest official ROM, is this correct?
Also an imate NL (dutch) rom seems newest, but will it be Enlglish?
4) I installed the official cingular rom on my tmo mda a shortwhile back as i did not have enought guts to try those unofficial ones from sumitter or xelecin or Mr.clean. Which one is the best of all?
Not sure which rom should i install now? can someone help?
--Original Device info---
USA Tmobile MDA
IPL 1.08
SPL 1.08
gsm / radio version: 01.09.10
os / rom version: 1.8.10.2 WWE
rom date: 12/10/05
protocol version: 4.0.13.20
extrom ver: 1.8.10.104
Flash Chip Type: M-Systems G3
anyone....pls...?
My recommended official is ftp://[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/Tmobile/RUU_Prodigy_2170702_217_20710_TMO_US.exe
Latest official t-mobile rom - and do soft reset before t-mobile extras install so U have a leaner install.
My recommended unofficial is ftp://[email protected]/Wi...obile_RUU_Wizard_2241010_224_22511_ENG_US.exe
From the second rom you will get all you need - ad2p support, aku2.3 - able to remove battery from startbar etc...
Overall I believe in sticking with your own operators latest rom as that seems to give less problems. If you see the numerous posts with people having problems with different operator posts you will know what I mean. Also dont chop and change roms - its a risky business and you could end up with a brick. The dutch rom you mention will be in dutch not english so no good.
I would go for the Xelencin rom personally - heard some v good reports - read the thread first to check it is what you want. http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=53300
Dear Wizard Users,
assuming that the Reset Issue has been solved...
Which ROM is relatively up-to-date, fast and reliable?
Currently I am using a German T-Mobile ROM:
1.06
1.06
01.12.10
1.6.2.1 GER
Protocol 4.0.13.23
ExtROM 1.6.2.105
Thanks

wow, your WAY out of date. go to the upgrading forum and choose one that has an IPL/SPL update. why not going to the ftp and getting the latest German T-Mobile rom?
i am new to this site and new to this mobile (o2 xda mini its htc made), i got this from my brother who rarely uses it.
the specs are
rom version: 1.3.13.5 ENU
rom date: 9/29/05
rom version: 01.12.10
protol version: 4.0.13.23
extrom version: 1.3.13.116
i know that are postings regarding new rom and upgrades, but i dont understand all this tech stuff, it will be helpfull if someone just give me the link from where to download the latest rom in english. that works well
thanx and waiting for a reply
I just used Molski's excellent 30MB-free G3 ROM which I got from
ftp://xda:[email protected]_226102_22610105_022511_WWE-30MB.exe
i had read alot in this forum and had found this ROM
Xda® Mini S Upgrade
ROM version 2.21.4.101
Radio version 02.07.10
from
http://www.o2.co.uk/xda,
dated april 2006, its 50 mb filw in size. i am downloading it.
but before installation could any one tell me whether this is the latest and worh to download or something else(newer or better) is there which i can download and use.
I have a tmobile mda and i downloaded the new radio rom 2.47 and it tells me i cant use that udate utility. Help anyone. thanx
Just got off the phone with tmo and their going to email me the unlock code and instructions on how to do it for my mda( 24-72 hours) after i unlock I'll ask more questions . I been reading around and it seems your phone has to be unlocked for most of these roms to work. So I'll be back in a few days!!
ok so i too have had the message
"The phone is not ready. Wait 15 seconds and try again."

but after alot of experimenting i have found a solution. i thought i'd post this to help anyone else out with the same problem!
I bought an M600 on orange PAYG however on inserting my orange contract sim i can use the phone but cannot send SMS messages or adjust phone settings, if i attempt to all i get is the message above.
having spoken to orange about this several times it turns out to be a sim compatibility issue. orange however do not support sim swapping all they can do is send out sims compatible with the handset they sent you! i.e the N73 i got on upgrade.
So my solution, i paid imei-check to CID unlock the phone, i actually already unlocked the phone using lockiwiz but that will only remove the simlock on a G4 and AFAIK imei-check are the only people to unlock the CID.
once unlocked i backed up the shipped rom to SD as described in the prophet WIKI (just in case i needed to restore it to orange settings) and then upgraded the rom.
i tried several shipped roms and eventually found this rom the
RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_?QtekWWE_Ship.exe
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to not only work but also be in english. its a great rom, very basic without all the junk orange supply as standard
I don't really know why this has solved my problem i think its something to do with the radio rom but whatever it is it works perfectly!
below is my phones new info, if someone with the orange Rom could post the same I'd be interested to compare the versions.
ROM version: 2.20.7.34 WWE
ROM date: 7/10/06
Radio version: 02.47.21
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.24
ExtROM version: 2.20.7.114
I hope this helps someone out there!
for discussion purposes
That sounds weird why it works like that since my understanding of unlocking CID was merely so that one could install different ROMs. Someone pls correct me if I'm wrong here.

it is!!!! i needed to update the rom to get it to work! as above i stated that i changed from the orange rom to the qtek one, hence CID needs to be unlocked
So my solution, i paid imei-check to CID unlock the phone, i actually already unlocked the phone using lockiwiz but that will only remove the simlock on a G4 and AFAIK imei-check are the only people to unlock the CID.

Afaik, if you remove IPL/SPL from the ROM (There should be tutorials somewhere around here on how to do it) you don't have to CID unlock your phone.
I would really like to try this! I am always getting the same error so often whenever I send a new sms. I have an i-mate JAMin, prophet touch X ipl&spl 2.20, gsm 2.69. I can't find the ROM you're talking about in the xda-developer's ftp. Can you please upload it? Thank you so much!
its on the wiki page
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_ROMs
Okay If I installed this, do I have to reinstall wm6 and then my current ROM again(Prophet Touch X)?
yes i expect so, i'm no expert, thats just the way i solved the problem on mine!
i think it has to do with the radio rom version
You can update the radio ROM without having to change the normal ROM.

I am currently using v2.69. Does it mean I have to downgrade or test other versions? How about you? What version are you using guys?
hey as i stated, i'm not entirely sure what eaxctly it was that the replacement rom fixed but it did fix it!
Are you guys using orange M600s? whats your rom info?
mine was:
ROM version: 2.20.7.34 WWE
ROM date: 7/10/06
Radio version: 02.47.21
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.24
ExtROM version: 2.20.7.114
unfortunately i had my phone stolen so i can't help much more than that.
Okay I have fixed mine. I tried all versions but only version 2.30.21 of Radio ROM only fixed my problem. Thanks guys for all the help.

I had the same issues, updated my M600 to the above ROM and it now works perfectly
wow - does that mean you guys are using a 3g sim in a orange m600??
if so - what is a radio rom (and what does it replace?)
can you run these radio roms with wm6.1? or does it mean going back to 5?
sorry for all the questions i am despirate to get my phone working!!
I have a similar problem, going to try the rom you recommended but thought I'd post my pre-rom stats.

ROM date: 7/10/06
Radio version: 02.47.21
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.24

ROM date: 2/16/06

Hi!
I have got a Hermes 300 (TMobile MDA Vario II), but i have got no Radio.
My device shows me in Deviceinfo
ROM Version: Schap´s 3.57a
ROM Date: 07/10/07
Radio Version: NONE
Protokoll Version: NONE
How can i activate the Radio?
Sorry, but you have a BIG problem... You can try to flash a radio only rom from the wiki or, if you know what your carrier was, a stock rom BUT there are no guarantees this will work.
Good luck, & happy flashing.
Thanks for you help, i will try it.
Hm, no it dosent work, i think i will sell the mda.
