Hi All !
I am newbieand just today got T Mobile MDA compact III. The phone is in dutch and also all CDs and manuals are in Dutch.
I read this forum and now I have decided to use USPL and then flash to English ROM.
But I have some questions before it (can be really stupid).
1. What is difference between soft and hard reset ? It says how to do it. But what are soft keys on my phone. My manual is in dutch and there r many keys on my device. So which are soft keys ?
2. If I enter into bootloader and dont do anything can I restart my device and use whatever system is in the phone ?
3. Where do I get ROM upgrade utility (RUU) ? I will use USPL but where I can get software and instructions to flash ROM ? Forum is full of so much information and I dont see any link which says How to flash ROM ? What is cookbook thing ? I will be really thankful if someone gives me instructions on how to flash ROM after using USPL utility.
Thank you in advanced.
Best Regards !
P.S. I have T-Mobile MDA compact III Netherlands (Dutch)
IPL: 1.13.00001
SPL: 1.143.0000
GSM:02.49.90

Just read the forum and ypu will find out what is the best for your MDACIII
the soft keys are the 2 keys near the red and green telephone keys.
Hard reset: read http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_Resets
if you are in the bootloader just press the reset key (on the left site of the MDACIII for rebooting the device
allways use USPL for flashing a rom because if you don't use it you will brick your device because it's CID LOCKED
the best rom you can get right now is the Black&Blue rom for me. some like it some don't
good luck
Well I should say I am no more newbie and just in one day I used USPL and later flashed ROM with HTC English Original one (motivation: Dutch to English, even though I am learning dutch these days ).
Now exploring the device...

Wlan affected by new rom ?
Hello.
I own a german MDA compact 3 - without wlan.
Now I have two questions :
a) does your MDA have Wlan ?
Does it work ?
b) If you flash another rom,
is the wlan affected ?
Regards,
Karlheinz aka forgotten_soul
@forgottensoul,
i flashed my hero(no wlan module) with the orig dopod p800w rom from the wiki a couple of weeks ago. ..and no, sorry to say, but even though the p800w software comes with all thats needed for wlan, wlan does not work once i flashed it.

At the moment I can only give you an answer to your first question: Yes, in the Netherlands the MDA Compact III is sold with a working Wlan.
The second question is a little bit more difficult for me to answer. I am waiting until someone in this thread confirms that it is possible to flash alternative ROM's, preferably HTC ROM's, into the device. At the moment I have a phone with the OS in the Dutch language but I prefer an English one.

sorry for the pun, but seems reading is a little difficult for some too!
i am running a rom from a vendour manufacturing a machine with wlan, as i stated a message earlier! there is no wlan possible with it! in addition there is a thread in this forum where a hero has been opened and a wlan module could not be found! how much longer do you want to wait till your horse can fly?
and once more, once you cid-unlock your machine, you can install all compatible roms from other manufacturers, i.e. a wwe rom (english) to a german machine!

Hi Masters, My Qtek 9100 after appliying WM6.Crossbow.WWE.HTC.Wizard.v5.2.660-sck update ROM procedure, the device remains in the Three color screen with the codes:
IPL 2.26.0001
SPL 2.26.0001
GSM (not appear).
1?
Have some of you the original ROM for Qtek 9100, or where I can find a fix?
Please HELP ME, please.
Greetings for Caracas, Venezuela.
Well, your WIZARD is not DEAD - just starting in BOOTLOADER mode. Looks like you did not flash it right! SOLUTION: Flash it again - in case the WM6 won't flash try another ROM (best thing: your shipped one!).
Since you'e a QTEK owner you can register at the QTEKs homepage with its IMEI number (you can find it under the battery on the label) and download the latest ROMs ...
Still remains in Bootloader Mode
Hi June2003, I try to reflash the phone many times, but the status is the same, one of the thinks that I concern is that the Rom Update Utility ver 2.5.2 not show me the current version of my Qtek (the version the lastest ROM in Qtek site doesnt work) and the upgrade version.
Before the execute the process, I read some posts into this forum that Qtek 9100 aka Wizard could be upgrading from WM5 to WM6, and this is the reason about my phone is freeze.
Any advice......
Best Regards, Ulises.
The word for today is "wizard love".
Good Luck
Hello there!
First of all, please excuse my terrible english ... but I hope you can help me!
I unlocked my Athena reffering to this link ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=315831
... and everything went well!
I installed this rom ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=346221
.. and everthing was really awesome !
Then I noticed that the keyboard layout was qwerty .. and as I am a german I´d like to have qwertz ans so I installed this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=399938
Unfortunatedly I´ve chosen the wrong one (strange order of links) because after installing the rom The Device comes up with the warning descriped in the post ... and what´s worst and actually my Problem:
The device resets each time during the "customization", reboots and tries to do the custom again.
It resets even when I try to install another rom ... no tricolor screen or anything!
So the device is now running an unusable OS and I don´t know how to install a new one!
HELP ... I need somebody!
... solved!
found a solution here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...e Athena Unlocker - the Black Screen of Death
.. or at least how to install a new rom!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397518
you can find the links to the ATHENA ROM.
Other German ATHENA users could provide some help to set the Kb
Carefully chose the SPL version, 1.2 since you install AP4, after AP4 you will have the newly partitioned ATHENA, with SPL 3.5 (no way to flash any original HTC ROM or an 1.2 SPL ROM, a tool to revert it back is in developing stage)
Hi everybody!
I'm new to this HTC world and kind of confused reading all this stuff !! so please be patient with me....
I thought i give it a try: i bought a german (vodafone) version of Herlad with the following tech. details:
IPL 1.09.0001
SPL 1.09.0001
GSM 02.71.90
OS 1.9.00 (this stuff is popping up under the vodafone sign).
My question: can i change (flash?) to WM 6.1 (WM6 would do also) but in ENGLISH?? and if yes HOW!!
Is the following procedure correct:
first softSPL'ing (or HardSPL'ing) the device and after that installing the new OS in english language? Or do i miss something?
Any hint is appreciated!
Thanks in advance
PS.German friends feel free to write also in german
Do NOT SoftSPL... Not with that SPL. If it's a Herald, then you'll have to use the GoldCard method to get the best of that phone. If not, then you won't be able to flash a ROM while gaining all of its storage space because you'll have to use the old and original way of flashing... Aserg's way.
hello my friends

Right
1. read this
2. be happy with what you are doing
3. Make sure of 2
4. Flash hard-spl as stated in the guide
5. Flash the rom of choice for you I would check the 3LIT3 VIII ROM's as i they would be the best for you i think
6. Be happy
7. when flashed the rom HR you device when it get to the screen alignment screen to solve any other annoying issues you will have hold the start and ok buttons down and put the stylus in the reset hole. Keep holding the buttons until it says comes up with the correct screen. You will know what it is when you see it.
Good luck!
