Can someone help clear up which device I have? - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

My device as listed on this page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/FAQ
is a himalaya, it even says PH10A on the inside. It looks like the one on the far right.
But this page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HimalayaFAQ
Would say the MDA2 is a Himalaya?
Which one do have?
Thanks,

Its the same.

Thanks,
But I am confused, so my T-Mobile MDA is also an MDA2?
In other words, both use the same rom images?
Thanks so much for your help.

No. The device you have is an T-Mobile MDA 2. It's the second device released of this product.
MDA I is "Wallaby Device". These ROMS are different of the ROMS for the MDA 2.
So take further looks at the Himalaya (Codename for the MDA 2) forum.....

make XDA II >> MDA II

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
earthcalling
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

Andes==xda2i so what is Alpine?

Hi, been rummaging and found files on the FTP which are listed under Alpine, they appear to be the same files held in the ROM image on my xda2i.
Is this the same device?

Truly, O2 XdaIIi, Qtek 2020i, Orange SPV M2500... came from one Manufacturer HTC-Taiwan, they have the same code name called "Alpine". It means that their hardwares are identical, and they are different just in Brand name.
VietNam -- Thanks for the reply -- since that post I've 'broken' my xdaIIi by trying to put the Diamond extended Rom image into it. Re-installing using the original Rom's from o2, I noticed that the upgrade file started Al, not Him/HTC, so thought this was the case, appreciate the help anyway.
Upgread on IIi
Hello, I notices that you managed an upgrade on the Alpine/IIi. I have not been able to do on because I get a country error code. Do you know of some way to overcome this problem on IIi? Thanks, A.
Hi Apap,
Sorry you're misreading the post (my fault for mentioning upgrade, rather than fix).
I 'broke' my IIi TRYING to insert a modified Diamond ROM into the extended rom area -- it (it being the process, NOT the Diamond Rom which I used on my II, without any problems) caused a locked device. I managed to get back to 'normal' or standard usage by using the Launch Roms from O2's site and the process above.
The mention of the Alpine relates to my original query/post and the fact that the launch rom prefix was Al not HTC/Him.
If you scan some of the other topics relating to the IIi, you'll see that mods are still some way off.

XDA Trion..Is it possible to update with WWE ROM?

Dear friends,
I have bought an XDA Trion (German rom) on the web.
Is it possible to upgrade with a better WWE (english) rom.
Which is the better?
Can someone write me a link when I can download it?
Is it simply to upgrade this PDA?
In the past I have upgraded only Magician and Prophet.
Is it more difficult?
Thanks a lot
Daniele

Hi, i have also an XDA Trion from Germany and i have loaded both ROMs that are available on the ftp site......the CHT 9000 eng.exe and the Tytn one is available for download but from my point of view the tytn rom is much snappier compared to the dopod CHT 9000 rom......
I having misalignment problem on the screen...
I hard reset and it's fine for 2-3 days now... Looks like a ROM issue..
I have a Trion with Dopod WWE...
Which one fix the misalignment ?
Thanks
No ROM cures the alignment issue AFAIK.

Are you sure?
Why you affirm this?
I am sure because there is only one person who has seen no alignment issues after flashing a ROM AFAIK. That was the HTC ROM and the rest of us have had issues.

Hi i'll would like to by a trion.
But after i must change a os lang.
I have some quest:
1. What difference between ext rom and the dump rom?
2. where i can find ROMUpgradeUT.exe???
thx
Ext_ROM is the extras that a provider uses to customise the ROM.
Dumped ROMs have no purpose except to confuse us poor souls and give us hope that the modders on the forums can find a way to use them!

Download any of the ROMs from here:

ROMUpgradeUT.exe is inside all the ROMs self-exe, just extract it using winrar (right-click) or cabextract.
Thx for reply.
Can i install the Tynt wwe version and after install the extended italian version...
For example
can i flash with:
me_dt_wwe_1182553_106_10303_ship
and after put:
HTC_TyTN_1.18.258.105_ExtROM_ITA
on the microSD ad after install autorun,exe???
Thx
you can, but your device will still be in english.
According to O2, the XDA Trion is actually due to be released in the UK next month, so at that time there should be an official WWE ROM for the Trion, complete with all the O2 extras.
Where'd you hear that?

O2 Trion and T-Mobile Vario II ->ROM upgrade to HTC TyTn

Hi all,
I'm quite new at ROM upgrading, so I apologize if any of my questions will be annoying to anyone.
I am about to buy O2 XDA Trion or T-Mobile MDA Vario II in Germany, and I plan to flash English ROM on it.
So here are the questions:
1. Will any type of ROM work on this brands of device ?
(Can I flash HTC TyTn English ROM on them. If not which ROM's can I use? Which one do you recommend?)
2. Will flashing new ROM unlock SIM ?
(If not, can you recommend me some good tool or method)
3. After upgrade to English ROM, will everything be in English ?
(Including all OS+Office apps. and keyboard layout, or do I have to set registry keys manually after?)
4. Which is the last known stable English HTC TyTn ROM (or O2 English) ?
(that it's enabling HSDPA also)
5. How to extract original ROM from device ?
(itsutils tool, or is there some better solution ?)
6. What is the benefit of Extended ROM ?
(does it exist Extended HTC TyTn ROM ?)
Already searched on forum, but still couldn't find answers to some of my questions. Anyway, I want to be sure before I do it.
I would appreciate any answers and/or advice.
Thank you all in advance.

No, it will not, but most probably your device will be Sim Unlocked.
If it is not, there is no free way of unlocking it *yet*, you can SIM Unlock it using imei-check service for 20pounds. See more info here:

Everything will be in english, but in German O2 trion you have an AZERTY keyboard (mapped to QWERTY after upgrade). If you want it to be AZERTY again you can change the layout using the keyboard registry hack found here:

Again, see this page for the latest roms:

Most of the roms come with HSDPA enabled, and if it is not, you can enable it using SetHSDPA /enable or fit4cat hermes tweaker, see more info here:

You can dump the original rom, but you cannot flash it back... most probably this will be quite unuseful for you.

Re: O2 Trion and T-Mobile Vario II ->ROM upgrade to HTC T
Thanks Pof for quick answers !
Correct me if I understood it wrong, any ROM (HTC, O2 English, I-mate etc.) should work with both brands (O2, T-Mobile) ?
How can I then fall back to original ROM (if I would need it for warranty reasons) ?
Is the Extended ROM must, or can I live without it also ?

That's right, you will get a Vendor ID when upgrading, you just need to run the upgrade utility twice without disconnecting your device. This is explained in the wiki too.

Click to expand...

As O2 or T-Mobile has not released any rom upgrade yet, you cannot fall back to original rom. There is no known way of doing it because the typical commands to backup/restore to SD card have been removed in the Hermes bootloader. So upgrade at your own risk or don't upgrade if you pretend to return the unit
Mad_M said:

You can live without it, but generally it fixes some things (you'll not be able to do video calls without it for example). All the cabs are not needed and there are some customizations, skins, etc which are really annoying for me. What I generally do is "reset" before the ExtROM installs on first boot after hard-reset, and then manually install the cabs I want: some taken from TyTN rom, some others taken from i-mate rom and some others taken from Dopod rom.
Hope that helps!
Upgrading at your own risk ... that may be risky ... LOL
But i did it and its worth,...... still waiting for the new O2 ROM ...
I've written a wiki page with all this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeFAQ
Can I flash HTC ROM and then add O2 Extended ROM ?
Will I then have all O2 specific stuff, and O2 skins?
Did anybody already tried this combination ?
Thanks in advance...

Now O2 has released a new Rom, so if I change to i-Mate I can always change to O2-Rom
Is That correct?

The O2 released ROM is in german, if the original language of your O2 branded Hermes was german, then the above statement is correct and you can flash any rom without worries as you can always revert back to o2 in case you have to return your unit
Thank you
I have bought my Trion yesterday but it's in german, and I want in english so I found this forum which is great.
Thank you gays for the good work.
Can you provide some other forums or sites with information about Software for PDA and other stuff.
I will spend the entire week reading the forum.

Do you mean that this rom can be used on any unit shipped by HTC without taking in account the original language?. For example, can it be used in a italian or spanish device?

this is only to be used on the htc-x7500
this is the shipped rom with wm5 and not wm6

at the moment, there is no tools that allow us to flash other version of the device such as t-mobile and dopod, so please don't do it, by doing so, you void the warranty and have chances to brick your device, leave it to the advance user here first, once they confirm a method, then you do it.
Thank You, but file still corrupted.
