I have a MDA Compact (Magician T-mobile Germany) and would like to flash it to my MDA2, because the software Fonix VoiceDial (form Magician) and other didnt funktion in my MDA2.
Can I change the Magician Rom to MDA2 ?.
Must I edit the Magician Rom and change the format from .nb1 to .nbf
What I have to do?
Dear,
First of all I am not expert in techkie stuff, however, I believe that the ROM for magician and that for XDA II are distinctively designed to match differences in hardware designs and so on. At this very moment, I don't thnk you can flash XDA II with such Rom or any other ROMS that don't belong to its kind

Hi,
I'd like to know how I'd go about creating a custom ROM for the XDA II containing this:
ROM O2 1.60
Radio Stack I-mate 1.72
thanks
P.S. Is it possible to make your own rom with any application you want through Windows?
Creat any combination of the ROM files (nk.nbf, ms_nbf, radio_.nbf) ... make sure they all have or modified to have the same Country and Language ID (use xda2nbftool.exe) ... the run HimaUpdateUT.exe
For additional s/w, you can modify the contents of the ms_.nbf file using ER2003Edit tool to add/delete any s/w cab files.
That's what I originally thought; however, I read somewhere that there might be slight API difference between the versions meaning that it would cause problems.
I wanted to use 1.60.00 ROM and 1.14 radio; but heard there is no difference between 1.10 and 1.14 radio.
I had a broken XDA II of a friend that its ROM was damaged by a wrong flashing ... I kept the RSU 1.10 as is and flashed only the ROM and ExtROM with 1.72 ... no problem so far
I'll give it a try on my spare XDA II
hello there, is it possible to install the standard OS software from de MDA compact/Magician on a MDA2/himalya?? a friend of mine has this software but i don´t know if it is suitable for a MDA2. when it is possible I would have a standard (checked!!) WM2003SE.
tnx already
Francis
when you get windows for your pc it have 1M different drivers and possible settings
with win CE it have to be 100% made for the device otherwise it would never boot
Bummer
so I have to search a bit more for a win 2003SE. how about the versions on this site? can I install them without problems? is there a version that you recommend foor my MDA2? is there a difference between de xda2, mda2, qtec2020? or are they all "the same", in other words, a OS for the qtec2020 is also suitable for the XDA2 and MDA2?
it´s a hole new world for me :? , so all the info you can give me, please teach me all the tricks.
Francis
yeah they are all the device called himalaya which htc makes
though the orange one have different buttons then my qtek2020
about the 2003SE then i havent made the switch myself because some people talk about bluetooth isseus with 2003SE as in not being able to sync with it
and also it's translated from chinese so it's not a purebred WWE rom
isn´t there a purebred wwe available?? or an english version? like I told before, it´s quit new for me.....
HTC for example doesn´t provide a update of the OS, in the form of a WM2003SE?? is this the only place where I can find OS for the MDA2 or are there more usefull places?
tnx Francis
as far as i know there is no official english version of 2003SE for himalaya
only the ones users have translated
htc never release any roms they release them to tmobile, o2, qtek and imate and who ever sell humalaya devices
I 've got copies of BlueAngel (Greek Qtek 9090) and Magician (Greek S100) full roms. These Roms are the English/Greek (switchable) interface ones of WM2k3se with WM10, and lots of useful ExtRom goodies.
The Roms seem to be password locked and can not be opened by ExtRomEdit or any other tool on the forum/ftp.
My questions are the following:
1) Can I somehow unlock the roms?
2) When unlocked, is it possible to upgrade my Himalaya (Qtek 2020, WWE) with these ROMs/
Cheers.
G.
no 2 HTC versions can share roms
From that I understand that I can not use the Operating System and Radio part of the ROM?
Any ideas how to unlock the ExtRom part of it, so that I can use the country specific utils in that?
PS: Everybody is working on translating the 2.20CHS version. Wouldn't it be easier for someone from the experts of this forum to work on this W2k3se/WMp10/fully-functional/no-bugs/English-(Greek switcable)-interface ROM for blueangel and prepare it for Himalaya?
I can upload, if need be.

Hi,
on Christmas i got a MDA II.
I started reading a lot but yet im a bit unsure where to start with.
My current system is:
T Mobile MDA II
ROM: 1.03.00 GER
Date: 09/25/03 (seems to be quite an old one, huh?)
Radio: 1.05.12
Protokoll: 1337.12
I already know there is a 1.72 Rom update from t-mobile out, which is probably the first thing i should "install".
The next thing i am curious about is WM2003SE. I noticed a lot of people seem to use it here, so what's the advantage to the current system? Will the english version mix up any German programms? WM2005 on the other Hand seems to be a bit buggy on the Himalaya?
Im going to use my MDA for Navigation with a BT Mouse, will upgrading on 1.72 + WM2003SE fix the Bluetooth issue?
Any other hints on "must have's" tool, software, updates?
Thx for any advises.
Hi, I also have the VPA 2 (the same like yours just from Vodafone).
At first I also had the original Rom from Vodafone. After a while I testet WM2003SE, which is much more stable then the older one. Bluetooth is also working better, no need of Bluetooth Tools anymore. The only bad thing is that its on englisch , but that is ok. It doesn't change your other Programms, when they are german they will stay german.
WM 2005 is also not bad, but not all the software is working there.
PS: For navigation use TomTom 5, its really great, and especially the warning Function of Points of Interest is great.

Hi Björn,

Which provider are you using your MDA II with? I'm using mine with E-Plus but am having problems with the GPRS settings. Entering them manually doesn't really work.
Thx for the links.
Actually, i don't really use any provider. I hardly used any mobile phones, so i only had an vodafon prepaid card. However i am currently looking for a well-priced option to use internet with my pocket pc.
@da4walker: Which WM2003SE build are you using?
IN Device Information there is shown: 2.20.07CHS (but its englisch)
Build from the 09/17/04
It's working really good, thats why I didn't try any other version
cu
The 2.20.07 translated SE ROM is the fastest and most stable SE rom for Himalaya imho.
You might want to try my cooked rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39938
Its just the 2.20.07CHS and 1.18 radio but with a generic ExtROM.
Advantages f this rom above the 1.72 or 1.75 non-SE roms are Intellidialer, Landscape, again better BT support (although with 1.72 you did not need those BT Tools anymore too)
Hi guys!
Can I upgrade my TyTN I to the HTC TyTN II - Windows Mobile® 6.1 Professional Upgrade?
I mean the upgrade file fort TyTN II that ispresented in HTC.com... will it work? if not where can I find the right one... the language is swedish
thnx
Sure it won't work, there are ROMS for TyTN with WM6.1, but they are not official, so you have to do some operations to make it accept the ROM.
Most of them are in English, though.
you use ANY ROM NOT FOR THE HERMES YOU WILL GET A BRICK.... As stated by l rdefalco there are heaps of roms available in our section of the forums. MAKE SURE YOU HARD SPL YOUR DEVICE 1ST........ This won't guarantee no problems but will make it easier or even possible to recover your device.
Cheers...
thanx for the help guys... Now I know that... But will HTC release an offical WM6,1 for the Hermes in the future...?
No, they released the Tytn II. No more support from HTC...
Plenty of good chefs here though that'll fix you up good...
