I bought some days ago the MDAII for 550€ without SIMLook.
For me the MDA Software is very boring and am missing the features of the XDAII Software.
So my question is...
is it possible to (Software-)Upgrade a MDAII to a XDAII with the Tools wich I can find at this page?
Sorry, I'm a newbie...
and many thnx for the responses!
Quick answer 'Yes'
Slightly longer answer, take the Update from the O2 website, use ER2003 Edit to change the country ID to T-Mobile, then flash away.
I had Dutch T-Mobile...then O2... now custom O2 (removed all O2 custom stuff and got rid of MMS as I dont use it etc etc).
While it is technically possible... if you are a newbie and don't have much experience, I can just recommend: DON'T DO IT... these hacking programs can also lead to complete loss of a working device!

Hi,
I'm a Newbie too, but why should he change the country ID to T-Mobile, if he has a Sim UNlocked handy it should work anyway ... or is it not that way ???
Because if he fails with the procedure and ends up with an unworkable device he will have to go to his vendor who might ask some questions and maybe even reject doing anything about it... is it really worth is?
OK that's the reason, it makes sense ...
thank you

I also have the MDA II, with current 1.60.36 ROM. I liked the 1.60 better.
I'm not sure why you would think O2s ROM is so much more exciting I'm not sure. Besides a different today screen I doubt there is that much difference, except for stability. In fact I was very close to upgrading to O2 1.60.50 myself, but decided to wait for T-Mobile to come out with their next upgrade, which I would think should be soon, because it has been awhile since their last poorly put together upgrade.
As long as you are willing to take the risk of a voided warranty, go for it.
The place to get the upgrade, from t_mobile to O2 is right in this forum index. Look for User-MDKIA. This fellow that put this together I believe knows what he is doing and because of the way he has developed the upgrade I do not believe you need to be concerned about the Country ID error.
Good luck.http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=7278&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=25

Because in my case I had to, gave Country ID error when I tried to put the O2 ROM on my T-Mobile unit.
Dont know why people worry about doing it, as long as you follow instructions its dead simple... unless you are editing the ROM (ie removing bits) you cant really go wrong! Even if you do edit the ROM you still cant really go wrong if you read whats on this site!
Even if you **** up completely as long as you can get to the bootloader you can always flash it back to how it was...
its not rocket science...
I wantet to flash the O2 ROM to the MDAII because I have a O2 SIM Card. Some Options like the Homezone Statusviewer or the O2 Active profiles are very useful.
But... If it's so easy as described... It should be no problem to reconvert a MDAII with XDAII ROM back to MDAII ROM (for example if I want to sell it) or not?
thnx for all these useful informations.

Hey m8!
Check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=8205
Itsme made a tutorial for upgrading roms.
I don't know your problem... it's really easy as hell.
Just use Er2003edit, it takes care for everything!!!
Here you can edit the header information with a drop down menu.
If you currently have a MDA2 simply change the header info in the three ROM-files from O2 to TMOBILE, then run the upgrade.
You cannot do something wrong, the upgrade tool will not start at all if not everything is right, and even then still the bootloader is available.
I haven't heared so far of a trashed XDA2 device ;-)
By the way... think of making your own Ext-rom ;-)

I really was thinking about making this, but I have too less information actually, may be you can help me find some mor infos about that ... would be very interesting ...

Investigate the threads refering to Er2003edit, I think they explain pretty good what it is all about.
In the end it is simple drag 'n drop with programs you like to have after hardreset (or don't have). When finished update the config.txt file which handles the install process, note not to use programmes which execute a softreset after install.
Look at this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=7196&highlight=
here is a lot optimized stuff for the ext-rom.

Agree. I think setting the timer on my VCR is more complex!
Even if it all goes completely wrong you should still have access to the bootloader... so you can just flash it again...
settings o2 rom (germany)
Hi,
I'm using a MDA II (T-Mobile) and a O2 card.
I'm interessted in umgrading to a O2 rom but I'm afraid of loosing warranty. I'm not afraid that something should be wrong by flashing the o2-rom to my xda II but I have 2 years warranty left and in that time some other things may happend to my system that I must use the warranty.
So I need the O2 settings of the O2 rom to use MMS, WAP, GPRS,... Which file of the O2 rom have stored these settings?
There are a lot of files in that rom, what are these all for?
I coppied allready the homezone tool which works fine on my XDA II (don't start automatically - coppied to autostart but don't start , only manual start works - somone a sollutions for that?).
Does anyone know for what all the programs in my startfolder are for? There are a lot of entried which will fast system... But I don't want to find it out by trieing....
Does anyone knows a good simulation for the XDA II to test software. I dont' want to put all on my life system and delete again. I thing the regestry will grows bigger and bigger....

Hi Guys, I have been reading through the forum. it has a wealth of information. I managed to successfully Unlock my PDA using the Special ROM
ROM Version 3.17.03 ENG.
Everything works perfectly.
I should mention that I am from the Caribbean (St.Lucia), My provider is called Digicel.
I would like for you guys to suggest what Rom i should install if u want to use Windows Mobile 2003
I am looking at the selections over here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ROMVersions&version=5
And it a bit confusing, as I don’t want the phone to be locked.
Also can you guys clarify,
If the phones are supposed to be unlocked why are there selections for the users to specify a particular provider, cant it just be generic so that it would work on any provider that’s available as is the case with the Special Rom. ??
Thanks for helping out a newbie
The phone will remain unlocked regardless of your choice of rom.
I would suggest you use the 4.01.12 ROM VErsion you can use either the original Version from the ftp-server here, or cook your own at http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org

For fix this problem you must buy CID at Emei-check, or try to pick up CID with WIZARD TOOL.
Если ты говориш по русски, то пиши мне в личку, попробую помочь
I unlock once my phone with SuperCID. Did i need to do this again?! I download some programs on spv developers. I'll try to find that Wizard Tool! Do you know where to find it?!
Ne govorim ruski, samo srpski! SERBIAN!
"You can find Wizard Service Tool (WST) at XDA-developers, but i dont know is it possible to you pick CID with this one. The easy and realy way it is Emei-check, but it cost near 30$. And about your superCID, when you make format ALL in MTTY, you destroy all internal security data in your dewice, such a CID, GSM data and other callibrations. All this data content except CID ( becouse it have tied to flash ID) you can reflash from other identifical device."
Thank you very much brother from russia! Here's explanation for our problem! This information will help someone so i put it on forum! I'am going to put my SPV to life again! SPV and SDA II are the same phone so use this! Thank you thank you thank THAAAAAAAAANK YOOOOOOOOOU VERY MUCH!

Hey, there is not much in common with Polaris. Touch 3G (Jade) is almost the same device. If any, you should try that one I guess.

The Jade / Iolite SPL's are Similar but won't work.
Imagine changing your PC's BIOS to match another similar one. The SPL is the bootloader.

Someone working for hardSPL suitable with lolite?
I would like to see that too.

no, not a good idea to try jade's. (it will not flash anyway)
I am up for that too
Seems that there isn't any guru with this device to make a Hard-SPL for us.
Maybe we need to ask to members as Olipro to help on this, cause I think that we will stuck with the official wm rom for a long time.
Problem is not too many people suck in bought this device. Compared this phone (forum) to Jade, it is sure no comparison. For now, just have to wait. . .
Hi guys, is there any way to sim unlock this HTC Touch 2? Not via unlocking websites? Waiting eagerly for the hard spl for this. thanks in advance to the dev team.
only one way,golden card,i'm same with you,waiting hardspl
hspl
Hey, guys! when hspl was helping with sim lock, it was so long ago. now it would not help you with this problem. HSPL doesn't unlock your phone of any operator, it will only help to install any rom you want, with any language. Sim-Unlock you can only make with the help of the web site. i unlock'ed my touch2 with the help of the site. and still waiting for hspl to delete f**ing T-Mobile ROM!

You are right - HSPL gives the right to put any ROM on your phone, it doesnt unlock SIM.
Hello Guys found this Dutch wbsite.....have not checked or any experience with them...so use at your own risk...if you need help with Dutch language let me know.....but should be fairly easy.

thanks all for the input... just tried the unlock method for touch 1. it doesn't work on the touch 2, i guess the software reads the wrong area on the touch 2. i think we'll have to wait for someone to release a upto date unlock program to read the right address from the eeprom by the help of rapi unlocking.

Dude, i unlocked mine on ebay, there are so many services for unlocking.
yeah, i know but i want to do it myself. i know about the JAU unlocking system, i missed the registration so now it's not free anymore. So the lucky ones who had registered last year had the software to unlock their free for 10 days on unlimited phone.

Unfortunately no one do some research on those topics.. I think all of the geek zone was beaten by Qualcomm **** of some market "boxes" (Furious, MxKey, Polar, etc)
missing ol' unlocking research stuff!!!
