I have my MDA C3 for about 3 weeks now. I have unlocked it and already bricked it once. Thanks to this forum I got it back to live flashing with the original T-Mobile UK Rom.
Reading this forum I am in big doubts wheter I should do anything with it or not. Lot's of problems with memory card and bricked devices, several versions of roms that I don't know what the differences are.
I used to flash my XDA Exec very often and ended with Crossbow on it. There were visible improvements in each rom version. In regards to the MDA C3 I have to admit that my XDA has never been so fast and reliable as the MDA. Now I am asking myslef why did I try to flash MDA if I had no problems with it? I guess it's only that when it comes to M$ there is always something to improve.
Now I'm happy having MDA working as before. No hangs, no SD problem (so far), quick in almost any task. Basically I am a bit frightened to touch it again (mean flashing). And my question is what am I missing really? Would be very appreciated knowing what you think.
hi guys, im new to the world of pdas/smartphones and have recently purchased an alpine (o2 xdaIIi) that should arrive tomorrow so i've been looking at upgrading before i start putting info onto it and wiping it in the process.
i've read as much as i can take in over the past couple of days about upgrading the software before posting anything too stupid.
my question is, out of the two rom updates i have managed to find active links for which would you recommend as the most stable?
alpine-1.11.171-radio-1.04-bluetooth-patched-camera-fixed.rar
Alpine_Ext-1.11.162_Radio-1.04_O2stuffstripped_Camera_Fixed.rar
personally i dont really mind if it has the 02 stuff on it or not as i'm with that provider anyway, going on version numbers i would say the first one would APPEAR to be the one to go for but experience tells me newer isn't always better. i appreciate any input from senior members.
Hello folks!
this is my first post here, altough i've been reading and learning stuff from here for a few months already. Good stuff that can be found here! I bought a refurbished 9100 from qtek g3 model, 3 months ago in ebay; the problem was that it fell down to the floor once (1meter fall) and since that day i have severe GSM network problems on the food. Almost no network on the mobile. 99% of the times i try to do a network search.
So i have my eyes on a phone that is for sale, also used. The fella says that the screen is broken, and that that is the only problem with the phone. All else worked fine. I asked him if he knew if the phone was a G3 or G4 model, (since i have a g3 and wanted to mix both into one phone to get a perfect one) but he doesn't knows.
He was able to tell me though that he bought the phone from Vodafone in March 2007. And my question is: is there any way to know, by manufacturing date or any other way (imei?) if the phone is a g3 or g4 model?
AFAIK theres no problem in mixing G3 with G4 parts, but am i wrong?
Thanking in advance who ever reads my post and replies.
BTW: everthing else works perfect on my WIZ excluding the network, and i had it CID unlocked and installed Win mobile 6.0.. sweet! i was in symbian for 4 years with a siemens sx1 before, and i must say i definitely love windows mobile! simply awesome browsing the web through wifi (for free!) and then still connected on MSN open up Age of Empires Gold edition and enjoy such fine graphics on a mobile!
Hello brother...and may I commend you on making an excelent first post! PLENTY of info for us to help you! But to the point, you are correct, there is no problem in mixing G4 parts with G3 and vice versa. The only difference between G4/G3 phones and the different brandings are simply the DOC chips on the boards themselves(that what makes them a G4/G3), and the branding on the casing. The innards are identical. So I hope that helps!
thanks for the reply!
but what about the other question i made? can you help in any way?

I was looking over the internet yesterday and I found CLEAN english rom wm6.5 for Jack...At least that's what one chinese guy told me on a forum (chinese):
So maybe thing will move forward a lil' bit for us, Jack users.
Download:
IN TXT (since I'm a newbie-url lock)
I bet lots of you is still waiting for this.
I have it running...It's nice...although it has few glitches....lil chinese here and there...but beside that it really handy and CLEAN
I'm not an expert on this sort of thing, nor do I pretend to be one (although not from a lack of understanding, simply a lack of knowledge.) I gave it a shot. It seemed like it lags a little bit more than the standard Samsung/AT&T ROM. There were several things I liked about it including the new interfaces and much improved task manager and file explorer. There's a little bit too much Chinese in it for me (I tried to do a few tweeks but many of the registry/system files are in Chinese)
Hopefully someone with a bit more knowledge/experience can help to make this a more user friendly ROM.
Yeah. I figured to compare this chinese rom with the original (treat chinese as a base model) and figure out which stuff to throw away from original...
And maybe do the other way around and figure out which stuff can be added to original.
But taht's just be...newbie talk.
cheers
Here is my 2 cents...
Maybe I shouldn't have bought these phones... I got 2 for a penny each. I ugraded to a Tilt 2 instantly.... My wife is still on the Jack.
It is God awful of a ROM loadaout for what it is... it's got alot under the hood for it's form factor and can perform nicely with the right tweaks and interface.
Sadly, The interest in this project is not at all dissimilar to Samsungs interest in Winmo as a whole. This is undoubtedly why we do not see the released ROMs from Sammy like we do with HTC.
HTC seems to know that if the public can enhance the device... They will buy the device. Samsungs lock and subsequent turnabout away from Microsoft will leave many users of this device in the dust and looking to ditch it quick. I did.
@ mykail or anyone who can help...:
Were you able to find a clean ROM for this phone?
I would love to upgrade to WM 6.5, but my device is unlocked, so the ATT option is not the best option for me (though it exists).
I have spent several days looking for it, but you've been longer than me, i just got the phone a week ago.
I appreciate any help in this issue.
I changed phones. I'm running HTC now on Android.
About the Jack. Haven't been searching for clean rom since November. Just few seconds ago popped in to our chinese friends and they are still developing. From what I saw it appears they are running Jack @ Win7.

Help with ROM issues
Hi Guys,
At first i must say sorry for re-open this post. there is a lot of months since the last response.
I bought a samsung sgh-i637 in LatinAmerica, playing on the internet i used the AT&T ROM for upgrading to Windows Mobile 6.5 but as you know that rom has a lot of programas of AT&T and also they change the major of keys (keypad) functionability... and at the end the phone still stay locked for AT&T.
I want to know if is possible get a ROM without the AT&T programs and also that it unlock my phone for use with any phone operator.
Thanks a lot!
Well here's one for the more techy guy's out there, looks as if i've 'bricked' my HD. I've been playing with roms to find a preferable version other than the stock orange one i had. I paid the 'unlock' fee after reading the forums an lo and behold had some fun downloading and trying various cooked roms and playing with android. However after trying many and finding topix about the best for me, my phone is not making calls anymore. after lots of investigation and rom upgrades and restores to originals, somehow i've manged to zero the imei. does anyone know if it can be put right. i have the original number to put back - hey it's in the back of the phone after all. if not i have some excellent condition spare parts for HD's ;-)
