This might be a stupid question but I have an AT&T build streak currently running o2 2.1. Im tired of messing around with this thing to get it to go back to AT&T 1.6. My question is if I leave it on o2 2.1 will i get the update notification to 2.2 from o2 when released and if so could I upgrade it or would it lock my phone down to o2 not allowing me to use my at&t sim.

I got a T Mobile MDA for a great deal even though i have the old Cingular/ AT&T service. I was wondering am i losing any features or benefits since i am using a T Mobile device with the different carrier. As in am i losing benefits of not having T Mobile or not purchasing a Cingular 8125 or even the Qtek or K Jam version.
If you were in my position would you just sell the unit and purchase the Cingular or other Wizard version available?
I appreciate any tips.
I would just reflash it with a cingular rom from the ftp site, It will work perfect.
would the cingular rom be better than the tmobile rom?
obviously it makes sense since i have cingular, just wondering if i would notice anything different or useful
I have the MDA also on Cingular Blue...
I just reflashed to the Dopod rom when I got it... just set the data settings and I was good to go (couldn't stand the pink)... even took the T-Mobile logo off.
If you are not using data then I don't think it'll affect you at all using the T-Mobile rom.
Help
How do I flash the Tmoble mda to the Cingular 8125 firmware. I tried to run the firmware update from cingular and I get a message that says unable to update check PDA. My tmobile mda is unlocked. I need to flash to the cinguarl firmware in order to use all of my media net options
I currently have the Unbranded Qtek 9100 with T-mobile and it has the original ROM from 1 year ago that came with it (1.6.7.1). Lately the phone is getting really laggy and problematic....hotsync issues....takes like 20 seconds to actually dial once you press send... I was wondering if there is a good ROM that I should upgrade to....one thing I want to avoid is all that T-mobile loaded software (antivirus..etc) that slows down this already aneimic processor.. any suggestions?
Also whats this I keep reading about upgraded "radio" in the new roms? What do people mean?
Bought a 2nd hand hero (tmobile). Unlocked it with http://www.unlock-now.com and put my O2 sim card in... and nothing. Have tried with my prepay O2 card, PAYG O2, 3 and T-mobile cards and only the T-mobile one works.
Flashed it with various different ROMs but each time I get no service; when I go to \mobile network settings\network settings\search networks I can see O2-UK but when I select it I get "your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network" (although it works in my Touch 3G).
BUGGER! have looked everywhere, but for the life of me I can't find a fix for this.
Would really appreciate any suggestions; my Touch 3g is very flaky and I need a reliable phone asap- live deep in the country and wife about to have a baby!

Works absolutley perfect! On any locked Hero on any Network!
pounana,
i too had a t-mobile hero, and got a code from unlockr, and all worked fine with my o2 sim.
have you tried contacting unlockr? sound like the code didn't unlock the phone....?
don't know what else to, BUT, when you get it working i've got all the settings from o2 for the mobile web and mms. i would post them now, but haven't got them to hand, will do soon
good luck
has anyone used this blog site before to update their Rogers Dell Streak before from 1.6 to O2 2.
weethomas.wordpress.com/2010/08/18/updating-the-dell-streak-to-android-2-1/
I've seen a few posts claiming that it was done by going to O2 1.6 then O2 2.1 then O2 2.2.
I tried flashing the O2 1.6 yesterday but the progress bar made it half way through and then said that the software was already up to date. I'm a little hesitent to try it again, but I'm having so many problems with 1.6 where the touchscreen becomes unresponsive for most of the screen until rebooted.
You should be able to go to 2.1 then 2.2 dont see any reason why you should have to go 1.6 then 2.1
Does anyone know if tango has started to roll out for the Omnia 7 on T-Mobile UK yet as after a talk with there tech support to find out whats happening with updates i was told we wont recive any updates for the Omnia7 anymore and that where stuck with tango. if thats the case what would be the best rom to flash it with once i get my phone back from repair? not sure if tango will be forced out by MS as we didnt recive 8107 on T-mobile uk.
I'm on T-Mobile UK with an Omnia 7, but I have unbranded from the first moment.
I didn't quite get what you ask:
- Do you ask what is the ROM that you should flash so that you return your handset to T-Mobile for service
or
- What ROM you should flash so that you unbrand your phone and receive all updates that Microsoft offers?
