I'm getting a new t-mobile mda usa phone this week and was wondering what are the first steps expert gurus like yourselves would do?
I've never used MDA before, but I'm a quick learner and have upgraded firmware and whatnot for other things in the past.
So, what would be the first step?
Test it out, see if it works...bla bla bla
Then? Would I upgrade the firmware? Which firmware should I use?
If I upgrade to a firmware that voids the warranty, could I flash the firmware back to stock T-mobile firmware and they would never know the difference (not that i would do that, just wondering)?
What programs/tweaks would you install?
If i get the 5.99 or whatever T-Zones, could I view any website and send/receive email through gmail...or would there be additional charges? Could I also use AIM, or would that cost extra?
I bought 5 MDA's for $250 total from amazon. However, it required me to select the data internet plan which is like $30/mo for each phone. But i was told I could cancel it within 14 days for all the phones, and instead get t-zones for $5.99?
Also...could you guys recommend some good accessories w/links or prices?
Screenprotectors, BT headsets...etc?
I'm also looking for a good, but cheap MiniSD 2gb card.
http://www.outpost.com/product/4922971 <-- Would this work for me, or is there a better one I should look at?
Sorry for asking so many questions, it's just that my MDA is coming this week and I'm really excited and want to be prepared for it.
Thanks guys!
THAT KINGSTON mini sd is the roxs!! works really well!
thou it might not read on ur card reader thru teh mini sd adapter, but hey for that price you can't go wrong!!
there are a ton of progs out there.. i would carefully breeze thru the wiki and other sticky's and then mod/add prog
if you have 1.80 ver firm.. unlock sim and CID then upgrade to 2.26!!
then programs and stuff is your liking.
enjoy.. sorry im in a rush, but you'll get plenty of help!
well .. MDA's cool but if you could wait a couple of weeks or maybe just get it's current version which is the MDA II (Vario II) which should be coming out soon here in the US ... In Europe, it's been out for at least a month or so... The MDA II (Vario II), aka XDA Trion, HTC TyTN, Orange SPVM3100, and the soon to be released Cingular 8525 is available online... just my two cents worth .... the new version has a lot more power and newer / current features which would work on HSPDA/UMTS ....
FYI
I got my MDA in July or August, I believe. I got it from T-Mobile, not one of their distributers, because I could control the family plan better, that we already had, and could request the area code I wanted (Also got a Samsung t-809 slide--a really cool phone).
Coming from an HP IPAQ 6315, I am VERY pleased with the MDA. However, I did not synch it with my Jensen B/T headphones because the driver wasn't compatible with WM5. More importantly, no matter what I tried I couldn't hook it up to my Garmin GPS 10--a B/T GPS unit that works AMAZINGLY well at finding your location--Both the headset and the Garmin work with the HP.
So I followed T-Mobile's directions to upgrade the MDA firmware to the ROM version 2.26.10.105 and I am SO glad I did!
The new version has its own A2DP driver, so the Jensens immediately synched beautifully.
The Garmin was trickier. I had to buy a registry editor--I went for Kilmist which works very nicely. You need to hack the registry to reveal the GPS Icon in the System tray.
The tree is:
Pocket PC\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings.
You delete ALL the keys under GPS Settings, especially the REDIRECT key.
I've read that you can switch the HIDE key from 1 to 0, but I couldn't get that to work--when I cleared the REDIRECT it worked.
Reboot, and the GPS Icon should appear. This allows you to tailor the device's COM port to match the GPS software from Garmin.
I'm not really crazy about the Windows Media Player--it's a pain to use, a pain to set up, and I have NO idea what MS was thinking. Instead, I use something called BetaPlayer both for movies and music. It's simple, clear, obvious, and you don't have to go through stupid gyrations to get either music or movies to it (it plays AVIs). When we travel, I'll rip movies using Pocket PC DVD (an nice, inexpensive pgm) to AVIs in the 15-225 meg range, and dump them to the Mini-SD card. BetaPlayer allows me to play them without any problem and rotates to landscape mode with a tap.
BetaPlayer is a free download, that Pocket PC DVD sets you up with. I THINK they have replaced it with an upgrade.
I can use it with AIM, but the return key on the keyboard doesn't "send"--so far I've had to tap the Send icon with the stylus--Is there a way around this?
eMail works very nicely--I route to my own account, not T-Mobile's, so I can get and send my mail. But it ALWAYS truncates the mail, forces you to click on it and re-download. Again, anybody have a way to fix this?
Compared to the HP IPAQ 6315, there's really no comparison. The HP has a bigger screen, but it's a bigger, bulkier unit and I don't notice a difference. It does just about everything better than the HP, and I don't have to soft-boot it every single day!
BIG plus on the MDA/Wizard--the antenna doesn't stick out so you can't break it off (I actually broke off the cover of the antenna on the HP in an airport--Had to replace the entire antenna assembly to replace the cover!)
I really like the SanDisk cards. I have 4 2-gig cards I bought on-line for about $40-$50 apiece (I forgot which). I THINK it was at Buy.com--not sure. I've never had a SanDisk card or flash drive fail or fail to connect. Yeah, 2g mini-SDs work just fine on this PDA.
The MDA is more like a thick cell phone than a PDA in size and feel. I hope to explore a lot more of its capabilities.
Hi, thanks for all the replies guys.
I've been trying to do as much research as possible before getting the phone.

Could you explain how to unlock SIM/CID? I tried following a sticky, but it seems some of these forum links are dead or different b/c of the new forum software. I think i have to use lokiwiz or something, but I cant seem to find it? If anyone can point that out plus give me instructions, I'd appreciate it.
Also, I'm a bit nervous about OC'ing the device. Do you do it in increments? How do you know when you've OC'd it too much, does it start to freeze or will it just not turn on or something?

I've been doing some reading and I think I found an answer for you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=985458&highlight=return#post985458
Not sure if you can do it with the regular AIM, but with the hacked AIM you could go to options/preferences and under IM/Chat/Mobile make sure "Enter Key Inserts Return" is unchecked.
Sorry if this is incorrect, I dont have an MDA and have never used one but I'm just going by some stuff I read.
Oh yeah, does anyone know when MDA II (USA) is coming out..I would feel a bit of buyers remorse if it's coming out soon and will be offered at an attractive price for new contracts. Oh well....MDA is still good, right?
Anymore help/suggestions would be greatful!
Thanks!

T-Mobile makes you wait 90 days before they will give you the unlock code and procedure for free. But if you already are a customer you may be able to bully them into it sooner. I did because I added my MDA and T-809 phone to our family plan.
I don't know about the CID, but if you get the T-Mobile unlock that's all you need. The upgrade of the ROM, via the T-Mobile procedure and software is very easy and does NOT void the warranty.
Thanks about the AIM--I found another thread here yesterday where there is a modified version of AIM 2.0 that is FAR better than T-Mobile's and gives you the "return" key back, and allows you to force the sign-on. Apparently you don't have to pay for messaging with it--it's via Internet!
Little by little the MDA is becoming the PDA I always wanted.

for unlocking use Lokiwiz02b.zip which is found in the Xda ftp:

dont worry about overclocking - im running mine @ 224 with the 2.26 rom
i was overclocking @ 240 with the custom 2.24 - really helps out performance
for overclocking someone recommended Batterystatus which is a small neat program, using very little resources to manage the battery and overclock and its free

Is that the same as Invisible Shield? I thought those were supposed to be good.
What would you recommend then?
If you plan to upgrade to the Official Tmobile 2.26 rom you do not need to unlock. It will handle all of that for you. Just make sure your battery power is over the suggest amount (I think its 50%) I have seen some nightmare stories here from people who didn't.
Hey folks,
just took delivery of a o2 Xda Exec,
I am a total beginner.
i have hundreds of questions.
can I use it with my mac?
How powerful a phone is it?
where do I start?
Any kind of guidance and direction will be greatfully appreciated!
Thanks

Well, you are here, that's a good starting point (by the way, welcome, even if I'm almost certainly not the right person to do this).
See the threads that reflect your interests better, search through the forum toughly (people is not always willing to answer too much "newbies" questions). After all, you have a mac, you shouldn't be so ... (just kidding).
I don't have a mac, so I'll not say anything about your first question, the second one, well, what are you talking about? The phone as a cellular phone or the PDA as a little computer?
As a phone, the universal is about a medium quality UMTS phone (my Ipaq 6340 was better than the universal, but just had GPRS); if you meant as a computer, well, it is certainly a very capable PDA. Even if this is a windows device, it is not exactly as PC windows (too long to explain, if you keep your PDA long time enough you'll know what I meant to say).
Start by reading your manuals and then turn the PDA on (chortle chortle chortle), sorry, I have the simple clown disease ;-)
Go to see the right mix of apps you want to use (there's a fine sticky thread about this), see if you're in the mood of experimenting with the fine ROMs that some fellows have put up, just let the whole thing capture you.
bye
Perhaps I can help . I am a strong mac user for years. Yes this phone is excellent and in a form of a mini computer, that is if you handle it well.
I have an imate Jasjar and am enjoying this phone having changed from last p9901 sony ericsson. I want to have a perfect pda and so i got it.
1st . Treat you device more like an pda and you will come to love it.
2.You can use it with a mac. However you need to purchase a little software called "Missing Sync". Read it on the web site or google it and it will answer all your questions.
For instance your mac can sync your device via bluetooth or usb.
3. Rest this is a great forum and many developers are here who post their best for newbies like us. You can always do a search to get the info you want and of course your query will be answered.
Cheers
hi there, i own a macbook and i've tried missing sync.
it didn't impress me, missing sync freezes often. but hey since its the only thing available...
though i think that mounting the device as a usb drive could be done.
mac os x is just overskinned linux(kidding hehe).
Hello to everyone, A quick introduction - Im new to the PDA Place if you could call it that, I personally use a Nokia N95 at the moment, And just the other day managed to get hold of an o2 XDA Exec second hand. Unfortunatly for me the devices appears to be in chinese when turned on so as you are aware theirs is not exactly much I can do with it!
I am familiar with the flashing process on Symbian phones and have done it a few times, With this knowledge in mind I thought and assumed I would need to flash this XDA Exec to an english firmware, or ROM as it seems to be called around here. I have been reading through a few threads in regards to updating and have also tried to download a new update off the o2.xda website, But it seems to keep saying I have an incorrect IMEI Number even though I have entered the correct one by typing in *#06#
I found this forum and was hoping perhaps someone would be kind enough to help me in regards to the problem I am having. I believe this device has Windows Mobile 5 and have seen and heard that Windows Mobile 6 has been released. I assume you have to purchase this much like you have to purchase a new copy of windows for a PC. Is this correct?
I had a go at the flashing process, And downloaded this EXTROM Unlocker from a buzz site? I didnt know what to do with it as its a .cab file so I downloaded KDSkamal WM5 Ultimate edition and thought well if I can at least get it to english then its a starting point at least. I double clicked the file inside and went through the update process, Then it said that it was not designed for my device, And this is where I am upto because im lost with what to do now.
Any help, information and/or advice would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Hi there, whenever you try to change the ROM of one of these new Windows CE devices (all those names are the "marketing geniuses" ideas, PocketPC, Windows CE, Windows Mobile), the device verifies that you are installing the "right" type of ROM for your device, as uncle Bill would say, you cannot put anything that you shouldn't suppose to, and by "suppose to" I mean anything that they don't want you to do, I think it's enough on politics.
Anyway, if you try to change the languaje of your ROM, the bootloader will not let you to do so, so we use an special (treatened) kind of upgrading tool.
It is normally inlcuded in the ROM.
If you read the wiki, you should be able to find the whole process, well explained, right now I just can't remember the exact name of this file (something like noIdUpgrade, MaIdUpgrade, or something like this), normally all our programming gurus supply it with the cooked ROMs.
I know how frustating it is at the begining (also considering that you know Symbian), but consider that these questions arise too many times and people get the idea that you come and ask the same question that literally have been answered thousands of times and you don't even want to make some research work.
Again, read the WiKi, it's the perfect place to start with your device, when you get to know some of the jargon, you'll begin to understand many of the things discussed here.
cheers and good luck
Thankyou for the reply, I shall indeed read the wiki. Since I posted that I managed to get hold of an o2 update ROM which I tried to install, as it was doing it where it says do not disconnect it came up with ERROR 101, and that the cable had been removed when it had not. I also tried again and the same thing, Now the PDA wont turn on at all. If I try to press the hard reset buttons it says press 0, but then does nothing. At the moment it seems to be stuck on the bootloader I think you people call it. And wont come out of it :-( looks like I broke it already
Ok, quick udate after alot of messing about and research I finally flashed it, Its now on the newest version of the o2 firmware. Though now its full of o2 rubbish. I tried to install this custom one I pointed a link to in a previous post but when installing it says its not designed for my country. I assume this is in line with your reply but I tried a search for that program and it turned up nothing.

Yes, O2 is full of crap. Try this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320116
As I suggested in it. KDSKamal's ROM is the best. Better than official ROMs. You can find links on how to upgrade in that thread too.
---
Hey i had exactly the same problem as you, just bought an O2 Xda Exec in China, and all in Chinese but now I changed my Chinese WM5 to the KDSKamal's ROM, it works perfectly, and it seems stable.
Excellent, Thanks for the replies! I had a good play with it last night web browsing and such, I must say its so much easier than a Nokia N95 I love the software and such on it, Now if only there was a PDA/Phone that had the specifications of an N95 that would be great! I know there is the HTC Tytn but that only has a 2MP Camera I believe.
Anyway I really am pleased I got it working thankyou to everyone.
Now I know the basic process I would like to take it a step further and upgrade to Windows Mobile 6. Is there a way of doing this? I assume I need to get hold of another ROM, I admit I had a look around and found some dead links I assume due to copyright issues with Microsoft but im not sure.
Another question I had, Was I was looking around games you can get games like Riven (Myst series) And Age Of Empires which look just like the PC Version! Wow im overwhelmed by all the stuff you can get. On some of the games I have been looking at it says you need a certain graphics chip or higher in your device, May I ask what is in the Xda Exec? And if its a 3D Graphics chip thats good at running games.
How would I find out if the device is unlocked? Just popping in a card and trying? As I have a contract with T-Mobile where I get free internet, So it might be worth using my T-Mobile sim card on it instead of on o2.
The case isnt in the greatest condition, The screen and keyboard are perfect but there are a few scratches and blemishes on the case of the PDA, Is there an easy way of changing this and buying a new one to swap it with? I know it involves taking the machine apart which im comfortable with doing, Preferably getting a non o2 one would be great.
I hear about the radio and such, Does this device have a radio built into it?
Also is there anywhere I could either purchase a copy or download a copy of the manual? Im not sure how this device actually turns off, It seems to just go into standby mode when I press the power button.
Other than that, Thankyou very much so far!
again check the wiki my friend.... all answers to your questions are already posted there...
I have the serial number of the device, it is possible through software or something to the device? Even if there is software that costs money I'm willing to pay for ... Please help me :-(
The only software that might help you locate your device is "Sprite Terminator"
or any similar software.
But... it has to be installed already on your device. If you didn't have that kind of
software on your device i'm afraid there is nothing much to do.
Microsoft's "My Phone" might be able to help you. There are advance features:
• Find your lost phone The My Phone service can show you the last known location of your phone on a map (based on where it last synced or shared photos using My Phone). User activation required. Go HERE to Learn more.
?
More options?
if you got the imei nr
report it to the police then they will block the phone from being used as a phone
Agree .
The police can find your phone.
I know cases of people who bought stolen phones without knowing they were stolen.One day the police was knocking on their door.So this is your best chance and it costs nothing i think.
I know it won't help you with this phone, BUT for your next phone install Remote Tracker, a great tool you can find in the Developers section on XDA. The best about it is the "Top Secret" tool or even the sim card change detection ... Of course, nothing will survive a re-flash ...
tnks for all here =]
i go to the police...

Can someone give me code or tell me where to find to unlock boost moblie stylo 2
The Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile versions of the LG Stylo 2 (LS775) are not only carrier-locked, they are CDMA-only phones because the GSM capability is disabled in the firmware. In order to enable international GSM roaming, you must flash replacement firmware. There are several outfits that offer to do that on Ebay, with prices ranging from $10.99 to $30. It's not a simple code entry - they have to connect to your PC and load new firmware to the phone via a USB debug connection. But it does work.

First off, thanks for the info - great post.
like everyone else here, I'm having a problem unlocking my Boost-Mobile Stylo 2 (LGLS775). I noticed they made it practically impossible to switch carriers, there is no way to unlock the phone even with a code. When I switched sim cards I wasn't prompted with an option to unlock. So I tried other methods (like using the dial codes to prompt action with 2945#*775#, 2945#*71001#, and 2945#*20001#) with absolutely no avail.
Then I read your post, and it all makes sense now. It's disabled in the firmware for anything user end to prompt a carrier switch.
This is just evil.... anyways I looked up some Ebay sellers and found one who actually tells you were to download EVERYTHING needed for the process of unlocking the phone (No Z3X or Octoplus box required), the only problem is that I have no idea what I am supposed to do with all these files.
Here is the link to the seller's product below
http //wwwebaycom/itm/Unlock-Service-LG-Stylo-2-LS775-From-Sprint-Boost-Mobile-Virgin-Mobile-/142305877764
And this is where the seller asked the buyer to download all of the files
https //drivegooglecom/file/d/0BxP_zvOImZfnR0ZrOERMWHpSZWc/view
(I made an account specifically for this, URL needs colons after https and dots after www / drive and before com)
I'm currently just trying to figure this whole thing out little by little but if anyone wants to help pitch in it would be greatly appreciated.

Yes it can, I just ordered it to be unlocked over Ebay. Turns out I was wrong with my earlier post. You have to replace the firmware, but since there are no KDZ files in existence for the phone you have to use a Z3X or Octoplus box. If you order an unlock over the internet they will just remote view on your pc and connect your USB inputs to theirs with flexihub on run the process as if they were doing it on their own. It sounds really sketchy and it is, but it works. Average cost is around 10 -15 dollars, and it takes around 15-60 mins. If you really want you can just do this yourself but you need to buy a smartcard box.
Thank you but when i tried the network 2945*#775 it doesn t do nothing can you please tell me why?

I noticed they made it practically impossible to switch carriers, there is no way to unlock the phone even with a code. When I switched sim cards I wasn't prompted with an option to unlock. So I tried other methods (like using the dial codes to prompt action with 2945#*775#, 2945#*71001#, and 2945#*20001#) with absolutely no avail.
Then I read your post, and it all makes sense now. It's disabled in the firmware for anything user end to prompt a carrier switch.
This is just evil.... anyways I looked up some Ebay sellers and found one who actually tells you were to download EVERYTHING needed for the process of unlocking the phone (No Z3X or Octoplus box required), the only problem is that I have no idea what I am supposed to do with all these files.
Here is the link to the seller's product below

And this is where the seller asked the buyer to download all of the files

(I made an account specifically for this, URL needs colons after https and dots after www / drive and before com)
I'm currently just trying to figure this whole thing out little by little but if anyone wants to help pitch in it would be greatly appreciated.
