Upgrading MDA II GER -> WWE, please advice - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development

Hello,
I have just bought a new unloked MDA II on eBay (I live in Russia and there is no other way to get it here) and it's all in German, the language I don't know. Here is the device data you might need to give me an advice:
ROM-Version - 1.60.00GER
ROM-Date - 12/03/03
Radio-Version - 1.06.01
Protocol-Version - 1337.16
ExtROM-Version - 1.60.08
ROM Chip - 28F128K3
Model number - PH10A

Basically I want to reflash it to the latest suitable ENGLISH Windows 2003 SE ROM. I tought that I could reflash it without learning how to use the complex upgrade tools just by downloading O2 WWE 1.72 update, but when I ran it it complained that there is a country ID error and did nothing.
So I need an advice on:
1) Which Windows, Radio and Extended ROM is should use in my situation (Coutry: Russia, Operator: BEE LINE)
2) What tools would I need to back everything up?
I used OSImageTool.exe, but when I try to load the resulting 32 Mb file with Windows Mobile 2003 ROM Editor it asked me a password (which of course I don't know) and didn't open it.
Please point me out to the relevant threads with correct ROM download links and upgrade instructions for those ROMs.
Thanks in advance,
--Yury.

Well, it seems that I figured out how to do it. I downloaded the package from:
http://www.my-xda.com/xda2.html
Then I copied the files apart and edited the ROM with the ROM editor for it to think that it's T-Mobile German ROM. It didn't give me any errors and upgraded without any problems. Yay!
Thanks guys for your excellent utilities.

XDA II Languages

I have a new O2 German and I want to change the lenaguage to English.
Please, how to do this?
It is possible to load MDA English ROM to German XDA?
Try this:
Works only for upgrade from O2 (any version) to Dangaard (Qtek) 1.60
1. Download the Dangaard ROM image @ http://goztreh.free.fr/eng.exe
2. Extract this file with Winzip to a new folder
3. Extract the attached file to the same folder
4. Start the conversion and upgrade by double-clicking convert.bat
Grtz,
Jos
do not do the dangard one
do the dutch upgrade, is perfect, you will find it here on the web, its from t-mobile nl. and everything is in english. super super quality. I hear of problems with the dangard one. Second reason for doiing the duth/english one is its perfect for further upgrades, no country problems
forgot to tell you
I have an german mda, and did the english upgrade, went back to german, and back to english, no problemo
How to do this?
I made all you said and nothing happen in XDA
I had extracted 2 files to a new folder, execute convert, accept in the black screen, an one of the files in PC were deleted.
And I can detec any change in my XDA., How to know it?
And after, what I need to do to change the language?
Did you first download the English rom from the site mentioned?
If you download it, you get a file called eng.exe.
You have to extract this file with Winzip in a new folder (make sure you have Winzip installed, right-click on the file eng.zip and choose Winzip->Extract to folder...
This should give you 6 files.
Extract the file "Upgrade O2 to DANG16021.zip" to the same folder.
Go to this folder and doubleclick convert.bat.
You get some messages of the ROM being converted, and the upgrade process starts.
What you are doing is putting a new English ROM in the XDA.
The old one is overwritten and all data is lost. So make a copy of the My Documents folder of your XDA (a backup is useless, since you can't do a restore on the new version from an older one).
Grtz,
Jos
Problems upgrqading
Thanks to Jos for the detailed information.
I did all you say, execute CONVERT with the 6 files in the same directory, the box CHECKING THE INFORMATION IN YOUR POCKET PC.... starts, but after lon time I receive the message ERROR 101: CONNECTION ERROR.
The xda is connected and working the activeSync Without problems, but the software says is disconnected!
Make shure the XDA is connected directly to your PC. Don't use an USB hub.
Once you ran CONVERT, you don't need it anymore. Just run HimaUpgradeUt.exe directly.
GER to ITA
I have a new MDA2 German and I want to change the lenaguage to Italian.
Please, how to do this?
You need to get an Italian ROM, but I have no idea where to find it.
And please, just post to one discussion and not to three with the same question...
Connection settings
Ok, I have connected directley the USB port.
It is necessary to have ActiveSync installed? And running?
How to set the xda? Any special mode (bootloader, etc)?
I have active sync installed. Just insert the XDA, wait until the sync is finished and run HimaUpgradeUt.exe.
Thanks
Thanks JOS for posting,
I have the same problem.
I have Just received an O2 XDA from Germany in German Language...I'll do your suggestion...
My question is: wich differents between O2 XDAII Rom Version 4.20.1081 and the Dangaard (Qtek) 1.60 you suggest ?
Thanks in advance.
Francesco
and 2° question...
There will be problems or incompatibility installing Daangard Qteq 1.60 on The O2 XDAII with the future Downloads Xda II ROM upgrade
coming in early 2004.
http://www.xda-2.co.uk/downloads/xda2_upgrade.html
Thank you.
Francesco
then you can just backup the rom you have before updating
and then change back to the back'd up rom before you update to the later rom
Great!!!
It worked fine...!!!
In 40 minutes I have got my new english rom image...
Thank you Jos.

Can anybody help a poor newbie MDA II user?
Hi everybody! I'm from Italy. Yesterday evening i finally received the MDA II from Germany. It has equipped with:
ROM VERSION: 1.60.00GER
RADIO VERSION: 1.06.01
EXTROM VERSION: 1.60.07
As i can't speak nor understand german language quite well, i started to improve my knowledge in how to change German to English idiom from several days. I downloaded from the forum the ROM version from NL (RUU16006WWE_T-mobile_NL) that should use the english language. :shock: By the way... an italian ROM version doesn't exist...? :shock: I don't want to do mistakes that could compromize the life of my MDA II, so please, please, please, give me a hand teaching me how to start the upgrading (i.e. before the upgrading, have i to put the MDA II on its cradle and connect to the PC, etc, etc...).
Forgive me, i'm quite less than a newbie :shock: but i learn quickly! :wink:
Many thanks to everybody who will help me... and to whole community of course: you are the best!

I know. Thanks!
Last time when I was upgrading my I-Mate, the difference between Arabic and English versions was only in sku1 and sku2.
And now, do you think they changed minor version just to show the Arabization incorporation to ExtRom?
For those who download Arabic version: Please, provide some device info (rom, radio and ext, ppc) after this (167) upgrade. Thanks in advance!
From www.clubimate.com
The latest upgrade to the i-mate™ Pocket PC is now available for download in both English and Arabic versions. It includes the security fix for MSN® Messenger, configuration settings for the Bluetooth Serial Port profile, improvements in handling SMS and the latest radio version.
The upgrade will erase all existing information on your device. It is strongly recommended that you synchronise your Contacts, Callender, Mail and Tasks to your PC before updrading your device.
The details of the ROM image are:
Rom version 1.66.00wwe
Radio version 1.10.00
To find out what ROM version you have, and if you then need to install this ROM upgrade, you can go to your Start menu, select Settings, then select the 'System' tab and tap on Device Information.

Newbie question: Hot to upgrade ROM?

Hi
I have a Vitel TSM400 PW10A1 and I want to unlock it. I have read in the forum I need to upgrade rom, but I don't know how to do it.
Frist of all I don't know what is the rom I Have and I don't know what rom should I need, where to get it or how to install it.
Any help where to get that information?
ROM stands for Read Only Memory - part of your device's memory that hold the Operation System and some basic software.
To change ROM:
1. Read more things like "Flashing ROM is dangerous!!!" - very entertaining!
2. Go to http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org and find the ROM you like - all of them should work with XDA1 devices
3. Download as rom.exe and start from the PC (activesync + cradle) or try SD method
4. write back soon!
PS: what rom do you use now? (Start>Settings>System>Device info...)
If you just want to unlock, the easiest way is getting an serial cable to attch your device and get the XDA Manipulator from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/XDAmanipulator.
Otherwise you have to update your ROM.
Best ROM for unlocking ist the XDA Developers Special Edition 1.2 or you can use the 3.17.03. There is an liitle program (xdaunlock) http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/XDAunlock you can use for unlocking. Afterwards you can use all ROMS you want. (even restore your old one)....
HTH
Stefan
UNLOCKED!!, at least. Thanks.
Finally I downloaded the Xda Developers rom 1.2 and Installed. It's in english so I can't type the letter Ñ , but now the XDA is unlocked. That's a good thing for me.
The "problem" is that I had this rom:
ROM is 3.18.10 ESP
Rom Date is 08/15/2003
Movil version: 3.24.00
Protocol: 32S54
Model PW10A1
And now I have 3.17, an older rom.
What do you suggest, stay with this rom (XDA Dev 1.2) or upgrade it to a better one?.
Do you have anything against Windows Mobile 2003? If so, 3.17.03 is the best.
Otherwise, you should try WM2003 (4.xx.xx, A.3x.xx, R.3x.xx) - it has a few cons, but it's faster and probably more powerful...
I have not anything againts any rom because I'm a newbie.
The only problem I have with 3.17 is that I have not letter "Ñ" in the keyboard and some other spanish symbols. Without Ñ I can't write the name of my city "La Coruña", the name of the... ejem, vagina, in spanish we say "coño" and some other interesting words :roll: like año (year), España (spain), cariño (darling), niño (child)...
After installing the 3.17 I made a backup from 3,18 ES. If i restore that backup, Should I have 3.18 ES again?
1. My point was that you use PocketPC 2002 Phone Edition and it's an older generation of OS. But if you are satisfied with what you have, there is no need to upgrade to Windows Mobile 2003.
2. To write in Spanish you need a spanish keyboard - it can be downloaded as a part of localization software from your provider's site (or any other company that sells the machines in Spain). For example, except for english (built in) keyboard I also use russian (russification pack from hpc.ru) and czech (czech localization from the CD) ones...
Thanks a lot, now I have to find any spanish keyboard for the VITEL TSM400.

Qtec 2020 Rom Update (Not O2, Not Orange or whatever)

Hello,
I am looking for the latest Rom update For my Qtec 2020.
I Currently have 1.66 WWE
I need 1.72 WWE
Etended Rom 1.72.800 (i think)
And radio version 1.17 or later.
Can someone help me to upgrade my Hymalaya ?
Where Can I get these Files ?
So it is without Provider !
Thanx in advance.
The provider specific bits are in the ExtRom.
So in fact you can use any 1.72.00 upgrade file and delete the ms_.nbf file before proceding.
Afterwards you can fill your Extended Rom with the applications you want using the Extended Rom Unlock tools.
BTW: This is always a better solution because using a 'wrong' ExtRom could get you into CountryID trouble with the next upgrade.
There are numerous posts with 1.72.00 rom upgrades in it, but I :lol: would recomend my RUU172902WWE upgrade. It is documented what the files in the ExtRom all do, so its simple to skip the operator specific ones.
1.72WWE
Hello,
I have trouble finding the Rom you describe.
Do you have a download link for me ?
Thanx
This is the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=11781&highlight=ruu1729*
I have upgraded with http://www.qtek.nu/files/RUU172752WWE.zip and it works fine. However do not forget to first backup and then Hard reset the device before upgrading

To use planet 3 all you have to do is type three.net.au in ie.
before you can do that you will need the settings for 3services, 3mms and or 3netaccess configured. There is a tool that does it on wm6. link is below, you can try it for your WM5 rom. The dopod rom will only serve you to remove any telstra programs. If the cab program below doesnt work there is a thread which has the settings for you to enter manually.
*edit* the cab file has been removed from the thread (first one below) you will have to check back again to get it.

Dopod ROM for 3 Aus
Dopod have released a ROM update specifically for 3 in AU on 2007/03/28.
The version number is: v1.30.707.8 and it states as follows:
838Pro (WM5) ROM code for Hutchison ‘3’ network - version 1.30.707.8 This ROM code will allow you to fully utilize the Planet 3 services.
As i'm not on 3 (using Black 2.0 WM6 using Vodafone AU here) i havent actually downloaded it for myself and from the look of it, its not even mentioned on the Wiki so i cant tell you exactly whats different from the generic AU ROM v1.30.707.4 released on 2006/12/01.
If you cant find it anywhere else, maybe I could download it and get it to you somehow!
Cheers,
Chris

Hey mate,
Yeah, i cant log into the dopod site as i have an imate so it doesnt accept the serial number. If you could download it and post it on a filesharing site or something, that would be awesome. I know they are fairly big so i assume that writes email out (i have space, im on gmail)
Also, is WM6 good? where do i upgrade?
Thanks so much for your help
No probs mate, its uploading to www.megaupload.com now, i'll update this post with a link when complete. (approx 25 mins to go)
EDIT: Here is the link to the Dopod ROM: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OY2IJE79 (I'll update the Wiki with this link soon)
EDIT2: I have updated the Wiki with this ROM info. As i haven't installed it, i can't confirm the exact radio, bootloader etc versions however i believe its just minor changes from the previous release so have left most of the versions the same. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
As for upgrading, before you do anything i would read, read and read as much of the XDA Wiki as you can. If you havent flashed any ROM's on your JasJam before you will need to do this before uprading to the Dopod ROM as your JasJam will most likely still be locked down to i-mate ROM's only and the Wiki explains exactly what you need to do.
The link to the Wiki is here ---->> http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
As for upgrading to WM6, the same advice applies. All the information you need is in the Wiki or the Hermes Mobile 6 forum and as long as you read carefully before doing anything you should be right to go.

I already have the ExtROM but I couldn't find the network wizard cab file.
Can anybody upload the NetWiz.cab from 838Pro (WM5) ROM code for Hutchison ‘3’ Australia Network - version 1.30.707.8?
Thanks in advanced.
These settings are pretty hard to find. I think it's all I've done all night.
Courtesy of a thread on Aussie3G, I got a link to a thread on this site.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298936
Amongst the attachments on that thread is a "CWW Enterprises AUS Operator Con.cab"
This program has configuration settings for the Australian carriers, including "Three".
I've just run it and it's created 3mms, 3services & 3netaccess, but I'm still having troubles with email. I'll be leaving it to another day now.
If you can get it all working, please tell me how
