Hi,

sorry for eventually beeing unpolite, but have you ever tried to read a single post in this forum ?

Here is a complete forum called "Universal upgrading" .. there you will find all the answers to your questions.

If you donīt find them within 10 seconds, try the search. If you still donīt find it .. no, you donīt have the skills to upgrade your mda, you will toast it.

PS: if you still have questions AFTER you read, you are welcome to ask.

Download this file, it contains the I-Mate JASJAR Rom update with a No Device ID executable.

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/MDA_PRO_JASJAR_ROM_UPGRADE_WWE_11353_137_10301.zip


Put the MDA in bootloader (Camera + Reset + Power)
Connect the device via USB
Run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
Once updated, press reset on the MDA Pro


That's it! Then you'll have a nice MDA pro with MSN, Skype and ALOT more free RAM!

I see that you have updated your MDA Pro with the IMate ROM Update, Im keen to do this but wanted to know what the pitfalls are?

What about connection settings? How can I get them back?

Does all the software work OK? Can you still Video call?

Ive had problems with the signal being a little poor in my area, does the radio upgrade seem to solve it or not.


Sorry for all the questions, but if I balls this up, I have no original ROM to go back to, as TMobile dont seem to release them on the net.

Any help you can give would be great

HI,

at least you should make a complete backup of your extended rom. There are all the files you may need to re-install the original customization, e.g. the original connection settings.

Its academic now really as I cant complete the upgrade, it comes up with the wrong country code error.

Is there a solution to this, mine is UK TMobile?

Did my MDA pro this morning

1. Make sure you are running form the bootloader or you cannot install as the id issue comes up. If you aren't sure about accessing the bootloader- run the update first - it will fail but phone should be in bootloader.

2. Disable USB connections in Activesync,

3. Re-run update - all should work fine.

The new rom includes a prompt on set-up for your carrier settings and should work fine without having to use the files from the extended rom backup you shoud make before playing with a new rom (allows you to install the specific customisations for your device

Thanks to the poster for the link to the files

Issues solved,

MS voice command now installs
Streaming video via ORB works (a bit gimmicky though and no full screen)No more t-mobile schemes - much nicer dial skin and today themes

It works fine, the T-Mobile MMS settings are installed for you (just select the network when going through setup on the PDA after the flash).

The GPRS / 3G settings you can add manually.


Access point: general.t-mobile.uk
Username: t-mobile
Password: one2one


Video calls etc work fine, because its all included in the I-Mate rom. What's more, it doesn't have that horrid T-mobile dialler theme!
