Putting T-Mobile Software on AT&T SX56

I recently purchased an AT&T SX56 and had it unlocked so that I can use it with T-Mobile service. It works great but it still has the old AT&T software on it Pocket PC 2002. I would like to upgrade to PPC 2003 which is available on the T-Mobile site, but I am concerned that flashing the device with T-mobile software will kill it. Has anyone had an experience with this? Will it work?? I can d-load the PPC 2003 from siemens for AT&T but I would rather have T-mobile.

Download it but only flash the ce rom part of it, dont flash the radio if you have a good working phone already, there is nothing there to damage your phone, people on this site have used roms from everywhere without problems, it is better to use the sd method for flashing using xdatools.

I tried the t mobile upgrade
but it told me my rom version was not compatible and aborted the upgrade. I have an att sx-56 that I unlocked by loading the special rom 3.17 ENG. So I'm running on that rom until I spot the next plan on here.
This rom is cool but can anyone tell me how to get the buttons to work when the phone is off again? Also the calendar language is not english any idea on where to set that?
Thanks love this site and the great people on here!

Use the kitchen at http://xda.weblink.net/ to cook a TMO 4.01.16 ROM and use the SD card method to over come the version verification.

Finished... for now anyway
Did as suggested above and then used t-mobile released version to upgrade radio... Now have the official t-mobile version of OS ROM and Radio. I miss the old special edition rom already!
Thanks everyone!

Radio Upgrade

I have installed the new orange rom and radio is now 1.03 i did have 1.06 so i was wondering shall i upgrade again and if so what is the latest radio version that is knows to work with the M5000 with latest ROM.

The 1.0.8 update fromt his site has installed without error and everything seems to be working.

mcoxall can you post a link the the 1.0.8. you used. Did you install on M5000? presumably it just upgrades radio not a total reflash?

I have upgraded my QTEK9000 Frenc Rom to the new Orange ROM
I removed the radio .nbf file from the extracted file, so I kept my 1.08 radio version with the new ROM.
Everything works fine for me no problem so far.

I did the full orange upgrade then did the 1.08 after that. I didnt mind the hard reset either as my M5000 decided to lose its charger port over the weekend and it went swimming inside the device. Thanks orange for the very quick replacement.

I'm running what's in my signature with no problems at all.

Stable ROM(s)

Hi. I have an MDA G3 running xelecin's 2.26 cooked ROM and the 2.47 radio upgrade. I've been having problems with my phone freezing.. Is this a common problem with all ROMs, or do i have an out of date ROM? Any suggestions?
Thanks,

I tried several ROMs!
Most 'home cooked ROms' had problems and issues, so, finally I decided to go with an official ROM and had no further problems!

what's the latest "official" version for the MDA G3?

What language and which network provider?

USA and T-Mobile.. i read that they don't make a WM6 ROM. I just downloaded a file called "crossbow_reloded_ver1.5.zip" Is this a ROM?
Thanks,

Yep, you will have to unzip it!
Don't be disappointed if that WM6 ROM will not work properly!
The latest official T-Mobile USA ROM is 1.26.2 and can be downloaded at the T-Mobiles homepage! It is almost the latest version. Only T-Mobile Germany has a newer WM5 (AKU3.3) available, bit since that one is in German I do not think you want that?
All available WM6 ROMs are 'user-created', either ripped off from other devices (with other hardware) or build up from a BETA which was around for a while. Most of them have software added which you might not want! Lots of them are even stripped down to get more free available memory in the MDA.
Until now I couldn't find any WM6 cooked ROM without any issues ... that is why I stick with the official one.
Beside that 'cool VISTA look' and HTML support in email (pocket outlook) I could not find any improvements from version WM5 anyway!
HTML email you can get by installing FLEXMAIL 2007 on your MDA, so, why bother and risk to end up with a brick?

I have to respectfully disagree. WHile cooked WM6 roms aren't perfect, I've been running a few now that perform for me better than any stock rom from a provider has ever worked for me. It does really depend on how much your use your phone and what all you do with it to find the right rom for you (so I finally made my own, which is the Crossbow Reloaded v1.5 you have.). I'll admit, its not perfect, but it fits my use. I'll probably be tweaking it some more in the next week or so as I continue to try to "perfect" the rom...

i haven't installed crossbow reloaded 1.5 yet.. so all it does is change the OS part? should i change my radio from the 2.47 one to that UK radio rom that's going around.. eventhough i live in the usa.. also, did you have to downgrade the ROM before upgrading?
Thanks,
-Adam

What is the latest Official ROM of TMobile?I just find 2.21 ROM in http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/download_manager_mda_vario.html.
Is this latest?
And what about 2.26 final of Molski?Is it stable?My wizard is G4 chip!

goto t-mobile.com and search for MDA ROM; 2.26 is the latest official ROM..
Where can I go to get the latest faria ROM? is it the crossbow-reloaded 1.5 ROM, or something else..? I download Molski's latest ROM (the one the the 8MB page pool).. it's the one from his website under the "latest ROM" link.. I can't figure out which to use.. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Let's try if you want to know.But if you want a stable ROM,let's use WM5 official.It's reason i want to find a latest offical ROM.2.21 is aku 2.0 ROM.So i can't restore clock on task bar.I'm using Molski 2.26 final.But it's cooked ROM.I think it can't more stable than official ROM.Is it true?

basically this thread is for orange uk user to compare roms they have and see the differences, alerting users to new releases and versions whenever they get a new HD
also a great place to pose questions and answer them as far as orange branded roms go
please tell us what you have when posing questions
updates and news
11th Mar 09 - orange replacement HDs comewith 1.14 WWE roms instead of the newer 1.19.61.1

also i have one of my own questions
i got my HD about a week ago. scratched the screen got a replacements today
it came with 1.14.xx.x WWE HTC rom instead of 1.19.61.1 Orange ROM
as far as flashing to a orange branded rom again id prefer not to
ive also downloaded a the asia HKCSL WWE rom would this be compatile with Orange uk network
The radio versions are the same

I got my Orange Blackstone back in December and it has the 1.14.405.3 WWE rom.

well that the one i have now but the first one i had came with 1.19.61.1 WWE

i was under the impression if its wwe then you can flash it to your wwe or english language phone?

Got mine monday the ROM is still 1.19.61.1 WWE

Got mine yesterday, came with 1.14.405.3 WWE rom and sim unlocked.
Also no Orange branding on the back cover.

i did hear this but i read do not use the HKSCL unless u want to use the service aswell
i do have a dump of the orange 1.19.61.1 but its in nbh form
so im gonna have to read up about that one
can anyone confirm a non vendor branded (the HKSCL 1.19) working in the uk on orange uk network???

Mine came with 1.19 WWE, but I flashed to Dutty Extreme and today flashed to Davideuk V-2. They blow the original rom away, mainly thanks to the new manila.

ok ok im taking the plunge im about to download dutty extreme but there are two file availablw ones got msvc in it what is this
also what the test 4 all about
which one do i dl
Ruu_Signed_Duttys_HD_V2_1_XTREME_5_2_21018_1_6_0_Test4.zip
or
Ruu_Signed_Duttys_HD_V2_1_XTREME_5_2_21018_1_6_0_Test4_MSVC.zip
also do i need to flash the radio i currently have back on after the rom flash??

MSVC is Microsoft voice command, you can use it to make your phone do stuff ie: shout camera and the camera app opens. Mostly used for making calls really. I didn't fiddle with it at all as I couldn't see any use for it...
The test # indicates what version it is. It seems Dutty renames it with a test # every time he makes a minor bug fix, rather than releasing a whole new rom number.
No you don't have to flash a new radio, or re-flash your current radio. Radio's are flashed seperately to roms, they just use the same flashing method. I've flashed mine to 1.12 so it works with Orange if anyone's interested...
Incidentally the reason I changed from Dutty Extreme to Davideuk V-2 is the lack of T9 support on Dutty's rom. The new EZinput keyboard is superb in qwerty mode, but I prefer the keypad where T9 is a must. You can put the old keyboard back on with a bit of a reg hack, but that defeats the object of flashing a new rom... On Davideuk's rom the only problem I have is the screen switching off during a call. As far as I know Dutty's roms are the only ones that allow you to disable the screen switching off

well i flashed duttys but im loving it.
stunning rom and acually works

read the wiki's for the blackstone mate - you can't just flash a ROM straight onto the device.
And I wouldn't recommend using Duttys 2.1 just yet - try out 1.7 first as its very stable - 2.1 still needs a bit of work and may frustrate you especially if you are just beginning to get the grips of this addictive flashing stuff
btw MSVC stands for Microsoft Voice Command. hth

Edit:
Ignore me. Found the answer

i read the wikis three days before i got the device but the wikis dont go into how the roms function and there faults. i hadnt got the thread till yday
i got addicted to flashing when i got a kaiser but i got the omnia after that and it works differently, i gave the kaiser away and never got the chance to catch the bug
i flashed 2.1 and it brilliant i havent had a bug yet. not that fussed with tf3d errors as i dont use it everything runs good
i dont thinks theres been a benchmark done on these the main differences ive noticed is
no google maps on 1.19 orange and a orange animated splash screen on it to

Can custom ROM's be flashed to an Orange branded HD?
If so where can i get it because i've tried to do it but once connected to my pc after downloading the ROM & HardSPL it doesn't seem to work.

3G/HSDPA not working

I've been using the phone for about half a year without 3G or HSDPA because I was out of coverage area
recently they launched 3G in my area and it could be picked up in my old TouchCruise but not on TouchDiamond2
I tried swapping the SIM Card but still got same results, it worked on the old phone but not on this one.
I was wondering if there is anything I could do to get the 3G to work as I want to make vdo calls
Thanks,
Chan.

I have had the same problem since beginning and have it resolved last moth.
Basically it should be radio firmware issue. I've tried flashing all ROM available in the Radio ROM thread, but didn't help. Lastly I reflashed my TD2 with the latest stock ROM for my area (Asia) downloaded directly from HTC website. To my supprise - although Radio version was same as my previous one (got from Radio only thread) - 3G started working!!!
Now I reflashed the phone using OS only modded ROM but 3G still OK.

ok so I have to flash the original ROM (stock rom from the htc site)
to get the 3G to work
but I dont really like the stock roms (especially not the Thai one)
would I be able to flash something else on top of it later?

Sure you can, like I did.
If your phone is un-locked with HSPL - you cannot flash the stock ROM as per HTC guideline. You need to extract the downloaded one to get the ROM .nbh file and use it for flashing like with other customized ROM. Then later you can update you phone with any customized ROM with no Radio part inside.
