Yesterday I bought a T-Mobile MDA II which I unlocked this morning.
I really want to get rid of the T-Mobile rom and switch to a neutral lay-out, which I hope the QTek 2020 rom offers.
However, I can't find a guide which explains how to upgrade my rom. I've downloaded the 1.60 Dangaard rom. Maybe there is a better alternative?
I hope someone can help me out on this one, maybe with a step by step guide. Thanks in advance.

Hello Folks!
Is there by chance anywhere an original O2 xdaII GERMAN ROM available?
I have bought an T-Mobile MDA II but am using mainly O2 as network.
I had an O2 xda I before and I'm missing certain O2 goodies, such as the Smart Menu and the Autoconfiguration and such.
I'm completely happy with the T-Mobile ROM in general, but maybe there's a chance of "mixing" these two roms together, just for the sake of the applications.
Anyone any ideas or links? Will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Klaas.
German O2 extended ROM
Really nobody here, who has the German O2 extended rom or is willing to make a backup of it?
PM or link would be highly appreciated - as stated above!
THX in advance!
I have the extended rom from my UK xda2, its in english but the auto config will let you choose German for setting up of the connections

follow this link, because if you have the T-Mobile 1.60 you have to do things a bit different as i found out a while ago

Thanks John for the info! Highly appreciated! I think, i'll try it out!
Nevertheless I'm still searching for the german version of the extended ROM. I'd simply prefer german language in all the programs.
So, if anybody can help out?
Thanks all the same for all your help!
o2 GER ExtendedRom
Opened my Ext Rom and copied all the files to my HDD. Hope that's the correct way to extract it...
It WORKED!
Thanks Bobopopo for posting the extended ROM!
It finally worked out quite well!
I found this site here: http://www.smartphone4u.de/xda2/tipps_tricks/extended_rom.html (attention - it's in german) and they explain the trick step-by-step.
In simple words:
I just got the T-Mobile German 1.60.07 update, started installation, changed the extended ROM File (ms_.nbf) with ER2003Edit, put all the O2 goodies (incl. T-Mobiles GPRS_monitor) in it, continued the update, hard reset - and viola: An german O2 xdaII with everything in it - and I LOVE it. Say what you like - O2 did a great job with customization!
Thanks to everybody for its help!
Hey guys,
I'm getting a XDA II (latest o2 UK update) and I will be using it with an Orange sim.
Which rom is the best to have for me?
I saw the new iMate rom was released.
o2 is installed now but I don't need any o2 stuff as I will be using it on Orange.
What do you guys think?
Keep the o2 rom or upgrade to another? (QTek, iMate, etc)
Cheers
I have an M1000 (Orange's XDA2) and thats running v1.60, the latest one you can download from the O2 site. I'd guess use that on your XDA 2 and you shouldn't have any problems
Hey m8,
Thanks for the reply.
You have a m1000 running the o2 rom?
Didn't you have an Orange m1000 rom?
If you still have the m1000 rom could you post it?
Cheers
Moogled,
What improvements do you see using the 1.60 ROM ?
I have an M1000 with the original (English Language) 1.52 ROM.
Using a couple of tools, I have GPRS always on and my TomTom 2 is working perfectly.
I don't feel that I am missing anything, and since the upgrade would void the waranty from Orange, I am holding back upgrading..
Regards
Michael
Plz share your 1.60 rom for the M1000. I'm having an Orange M1000 (with the 1.52 rom), and would very much like to hear from anyone having upgraded this model.
Anyone gonna help me out with this one?
Thanks
Panja
No one....?
I simply used a standard UK version (it WAS actually the USA ROM when it arrived), of the XDA2, with my Orange UK SIM.
Works fine.
Since then I have upgraded to the latest UK O2 ROM upgrade - again no problem.
I have also done a lengthy post on here as to all the Orange settings ou need for the phone.
Hi all,
i know this forum a couple of time, now needed to register and to ask you all:
I have a O2 XDA II german version, but i´m using T-Mobile Germany as provider. Does anybody know if it is possible to change the O2 operating system to the T-Mobile MDA II sys. ? I don´t know exactly if XDA II & MDA II are the same devices. And if possible, can somebody provide me the german T-Mobile firmware ?
Thanks to you all great posters !!!
regards

The difference between these two devices is only in front-cover.
That's all.
THX for info - but i can´t nowhere find the german ROM file for MDA II and maybe a "how-to-do-it" guide, i´m not an expert on ROM flashing ....... I appreciate every help i can get
You said you already have German ROM in you XDA2, right? If so, what's the problem? :shock:
I can't understand it... :roll:
It doesn't matter what kind of ROM do you have in your device, if it is running with your SIM card and is speaking in your born language... Am I right or not?
OTOH here is the link to T-Mobile update for MDA II: http://www.t-mobile.de/privat/1,1788,7483-_,00.html
But my suggestion, keep you ROMs you have...
First of all a biiiiiiiiiig THANKS to you I did not know that it is so easy
I don´t like the O2 Rom, i prefer the T-Mobile Rom, i had an MDA III but i was not satisfied with the machine, i sold it and bought a used XDA II, it works much better than the MDA III (especially phone & bluetooth), that was even a reason for me to have the T-Mobile Rom, i´m more familiar with it.
Again thanks for helping me

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi comm!
I have a T-Mobile MDA Vario II, Rom Version: 1.21.
Can i upgrade my PPC with the released WM6 update of HTC without any problems, although i have a differently branded TyTN? Will all functions work (telephone, internet)? And can i downgrade my WM6 to WM5 easily or can I reactive my current system status with a backup (SK Tools)? Last but not least, what will the warranty say?
Thanks for your efforts.
PS: sorry for all these maybe stupid questions...but i´m just a beginner =)
upgrading to WM 6 worked for me as did unlocking ;-)
If you do not use an official T-mobile ROM update forget any warranty, unless you're able to downgrade to the original one
I have an original Rom from T-Mobile. Do you know what happens with the warranty of T-Mobile when you unlock the CID? Does the CID still will be unlocked if you install another Rom? Can you lock it again?
It won´t be possible unless you downgrade to your old ROM again. I am not sure if that´s possible, though.
I went along the way described at http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php...ask=view&id=65&Itemid=26&limit=1&limitstart=4
If you follow the directions including the upgrade to wm6 from Custel, you can afterwards install the German WM6 version from HTC. It won´t work directly. The CID will stay locked and the HTC cannot be installed until you installed the CUSTEL version.
I think the T-Mobile contract does not allow to modify the system in this way.
How to
Using the search function gave me thread as the first result.(Couldnt find any how to guides)
So.. What do i need to do to upgrade my ROM? i have a fresh MDA vario II just got repaired from the shop.(Nothing to do with bricking if you;re wondering)
Can some one please give me a simple step by step guide on how to upgrade.
Thanks a bunch
