I would like to update my MDAII on Dutch T-Mobile to WM2003SE.
I have read through this forum extensively and it only confuses me more. I don't understand what bootloader software to use, how to cook a rom etc etc.
If there's anyone that has a working set of roms for T-Mobile Netherlands I would be very gratefull. I read edSUB was working on it, but haven't heard since.
Also, it might be really really cool if someone with enough experience could write a understandable tutorial (with proper downloads) so people like me could learn and do it by ourself.
Cheers!
if the language dont need to be dutch (not sure if ms makes CE in dutch)
then any english rom will do
sure you may have to manualy type in the gprs and mms settings but
other than that a rom dont need to be localized

A Dutch WM2003 SE doen't excist. you will need an english one like on the MDA Compact (also Dutch T-mobile one)

Sorry for the confusion, my mistake.
I meant an english version of WM2003SE (WWE), I have an MDAII that's on the Dutch T-Mobile network, so for the ext.ROM I'dd like to have an updated one that has all the T-Mobile NL stuff.
Because, I presume just loading the WM2003SE ROM won't work with an old ext. ROM? I couldn't get this clear out of the other threads.. and i certainly don't want to just try stuff out, I love my machine way to much to hurt it
there is all ready a topic of this !
there is allready a topic of this..
a nice guy from Holland is making a specila rom with 2003se ..
groeten
hope he puts in a config for telfort provider ;-}
Hi Folks, sorry for the newbie type of question. I am planning to flash the Vodafone GER ROM (under HERMES SHIPPED ROM) to my HTC TyTn. As far as I understood, I can swap back to the original ROM, but where can I download the HTC TyTn GER ROM. I can only find HTC ENG ones. Could you please help. Thanks !
If it's not listed here we don't have it:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
If you know where to get it upload to ftp and we'll add it there
it is strange, because it is the original one, which is installed on the device. anyway, if I get it, I'll share it
Hi, i also have the tytn original...
i have flashed a few days ago the german o2 rom... all works fine... only the extenderom is not editable... becaus of that you must disturb the automated install progress...
maybe anyone have a solution for that problem ???
all other works great... (also flashed the radio rom to act. 20 version...)
had often hangs with the phone... now not came to testing... often have to hardreset... (today because automated securityguidlines from my company.. see in other thread..)
upontime wenn a htc tytn orig. ger rom cames out i will flash back... hope that is aku3 then... much things be better... have seen it on the trinity...

Hey,
does anyone now where i can get the ameo t-mobile german rom wm5.
I want to go back from wm6 because i can not get bb work.
thanks
Search and you will find your answer...
I don'tuse BB,but if my memory has not failed me, it can work in wm6. Whether you want to make BB work, or go back to wm5(which doesn't make sense to me), the way todo it is already posted on this forum.
Good luck!
can someone point out where cos i have searched everywhere includin the wikki and cant find it
also is the original t-mobile wm5 rom available cos i cant see that anywhere
When you bought the phone, didn't you get a disc containing the wm5 ? I did, together with other stuffs like active sync program, gps program, ROM upgrade disc, etc. I imagine T mobile works the same way, no?
i have all the apps you describe but NO WM5 rom
So, you do have the wm5 ROM upgrade disc? Have you tried flashing with that? No harm trying since your phone has been unlocked.
I have the apps but the WM5 rom is NOT included, i have found it somewhere else and am gonna try later , i also need the tmobile extended rom info as well
Hey,
Newbie here. I own two smartflips bought from i-mate hq (Dubai). However, i'm now in Aus. WM6 looks nice and i must say, great work and appreciation for those who cook up these ROMs. However, i noticed that all these ROMs start off from either Cingular or QTEK or HTC. why leave i-mate ROMs behind guys? Anyways, before i try out any of these ROMs, i just don't want to end up killing my phone. I've searched high and low for i-mate stock ROMs (WM5). I saw one in a post but that was like WWE or something which i'm not sure what it means. I don't want to register on i-mate and do loads of form-filling and IMEI filling just to get some ROMs. Anyone have any idea of where i can acquire some 'stock' WM5 i-mate ROMs (not qtek or cingular or htc or wotever).
The other thing.. i haven't SuperCID-ed my smartflip. I tried to get to the bootloader (for no reason.. just experimenting) by pressing the keys n all but it doesn't show up. it goes to the i-mate screen.. then flashes an HTC logo and boots WM5. Once again my smartflip is Out-of-the box, hope that helps someone explaining the phenomena. i do have the i-mate CD that came with it. However didn't find and option to install Windows Mobile 5.0. I need a ROM to keep a backup in case i screw up. If anyone could help me obtain an i-mate WM5 ROM, it would be greatly appreciated.
Also, how would one find out the IPL and SPL of the smartflip? As i mentioned i wouldn't like to brick my phone. It is mentioned somewhere that the 3.06 or wotever IPL and SPL version are not capable of flashing through micro-sd card. Not sure but i think the 4.0 or wotever can flash through micro-sd card. Apart from the link(to files) posted in a thread, isn't there an 'official' way of getting to update the IPL and SPL?
Sorry for such a long post. One thing i must say, great work guys. I would like to suggest people to follow up on their threads. there was one 'bricked' post but the person said he found a solution but never posted what his solution was. It would be helpful if he could have posted the solution as it does help others. Apologies if i said anything wrong.
Thanks,
Dan.
You used to be able topick up Imate roms from ftp://ftp.clubimate.com
But they won't be nearly as good as the cooked Wm6 ones. Just follow the instruction and flash away.
(WWE means worldwide english)
Flash one of the cooked ones! I use Erofich's 6.1 and it's great.
WWE just means WorldWideEnglish as opposed to other languages.
Good luck
I have a SmartFlip upgraded with GnatGoSplat's WM6 ROM (Eurofich' WM6 is better but GPRS doesn't work): it works fast and without problems.

What's a problem? Use my WM6.1 where everything works
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374397
just install a Cumulative Fix after flashing and have a fun
Btw, you can also use Jony_aa's WM6 AKU 0.5.1 ROMs with most useful software included, or clean version

Thank you all!
Hi,
Thank you all for your responses. i-mate roms at imate ftp site is confirmed. Thanks unwired. The thing is i take calculated risks and have most info before i do some thing. so if i end up somehow bricking my phone, i will know what to do before dad kills me . Now i just need to update the IPL/SPL and get into bootloader to see if it works. Then gonna flash with WM6 or WM6.1. I just needed a stock ROM to keep as backup because its mentioned somewhere that if your phone is bricked, u can try to flash it using micro-sd card flashing. but that only works with stock ROMs if WM6 flashing fails. Anyways, thanks once again. i will keep you guys updated on my progress.. Thanks!
Best Regards,
Dan.

Hi,
Sorry for multiple questions. I still haven't been able to get into the bootloader by pressing the voice notes and camera and power on key. I'm still not sure how it goes. Do you have to hold the keys, press the power button and let go immediately of all the three keys or do you have to hold the power button for long with holding the voice and camera keys? i need to check which version of the bootloader i have to make sure it supports flashing from micro-sd. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Dan.
EDIT: I was also looking for some way to backup software from my current WM5 ROM. There are some apps that come in-built which i like. But since i don't have the .cab(s) i was wondering if there would be a way to backup software and later on install it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Out of a million tries, I only managed to get into the bootloader ONCE that way. Okay, I exaggerate, but I found it almost impossible to use RECORD, CAMERA, and POWER to get into bootloader. Instead, I've found with the phone OFF, press RECORD, CAMERA, and plug the USB connector into the PC while holding those buttons. It goes into Bootloader every single time that way.
You can back up the built-in apps, but it requires figuring out which files belong to which app, and also getting their registry entries. Then you can either manually copy all those files into the phone and manually import the registry entries, or make them into a cab file to automate it.
WOW.. thnx for that!
Yup! Worked like a charm! i have IPL/SPL 1.02 or wotever.. so i don't need to worry about micro-sd card flashing problems ( i hope i never need to use that in my life). So if it works this way.. i would recommend others who have bricked their phones and trying to flash it holding the record, and camera button while phone is off, plug it in the usb. As soon as i did that, Vista picked it up as a mobile device. the bootloader ( the screen sucks! what a dreadful combination of colors!) also shows a usb sign at the bottom. I hope this info helps those who bricked/killed their phone and were finding it hard to re-flash it. As it is mentioned in some thread... if wm6 flashing fails, u have to revert back to stock rom WM5 (cingular rom for cingular phone, i-mate rom for i-mate, etc) and then re-flash with WM6. I wonder if rom update utilities work when in bootloader connected to pc.
Once again, thanks for your reply GnatGoSplat. As for the apps, yea.. i know its bad. I did check over onto the i-mate site and found a file 'Arabic...' something. it didn't mention it as a rom so i'm hoping they are the software packages that come with the default middleast rom. You might have heard of 'Portableapps' on PCs. They are little beauties. Because the original windows and windows mobile are linked closely.. i might wonder if there could be a way to port those ( or even create your own) onto windows mobile. I know how to make portableapps so if you need any info, i think i could help unless someone knows better.
So where do i get the SDA_ApplicationUnlock file? Thanks.
Regards,
Dan.

Hi,
Thanks for the file Erofich. Unfortunately, I've just been caught up with studies and hence will not be able to work on modding my i-mate until i get some free time. however, i'm still going to try to work on an 'Ultimate WM6 for Startrek Guide'.
Its just that its better for end-users because some of the information is scattered around and 'some' of the instructions are a bit hard to follow (no offense to anyone). If anyone has any concerns or is against my actions, please let me know.
Regards,
Dan

You can translate some menu (in the post of WM6 by Eurofich you find how) but not all of them.
You can get the xT9 with spanish language with a cab you can find looking in that ROOM.

Hoi Hans, I'm gonna try to help you, but it's important for me to make sure which device you have, because there are a lot look a like's but it's just another phone, to make sure which device you own just take a look under your battery and tell me if you have a nike100 or another version.
The second thing I need to know, does your phone have a simlock.
Greetz,
It's a NIKI100 and is not simlocked

Hola hans, any news on your plans? I just "revived" my old nike today after beeing in a drawer for years, and I must say, it´s been a full success and it only took me less than an hour to do so. Now I even have WinMo 6.5.x and "sense-like" tabs
