i've downloaded a t-mobile rom with A2DP for the MDAPro and i want to put it on my XDA exec so i can at last have A2DP on my EXEC. Is there any way to do this, or is there a O2 rom on the way that will give me what i want if i wait a bit longer. If i try installing the rom atm it just says country id error.

You need maupgrade utility.

I installed it on my jasjar.
A2DP works like charm.

i can't find this anywhere, what is 'maupgrade utility' sorry if i'm missing something obvious.

i have attached a screenshot of the error message i get is there any way around this- i am using a XDA exec and can't find a program to allow me to make the t-mobile rom work

Right,Download the T mobile Exe to a directory of your chosing. using Winzip ( I use winrar) Right click the ExE file, and click extract here.
This will give you about 10 files. one of them will be ROMupgrade.exe. This is the bugger that gives you a problem. Now get a copy of MaUpgradeUt_noiD.exe and put this in the same directory. Unplug your usb cable, do a Boot loader reset. Light, on/off, and reset all together.
Screen goes blank with the word serial top centre NO backlight so hard to see. Plug in USB cable. Serial changes to Usb. now doubleclick MaUpgradeUt_noiD.exe to run it. follow onscreen prompts. takes about 20 minutes. Soft reset at the end. Dont worry if the displayed divice is not a Xda exec. Worked for me just done an up grade to latest full imate release as I'm writing this!! Previously I had the code 120 Country failure before carrying out the above installer exe swap.

Hi,

Mine was originally (Monday this week!) an O2 XDA Exec, until the OS got screwed when installing O2's GPRS monitor app fron CD. I have both Installed the Imate beta, and iImate full release, using the mothod described. I haven't tried with the T mobile Firmware yet, as my XDA is working perfectly at present ('if it ain't broke don't fix it !'). I do have a copy of the T mobile F/W stored, if I get a problem or, there are 'features' that would be useful. I can see no reason why it shouldn't install as described in my previous post, BUT I haven't tried it.!If O2 came out some updated firmware, I can't see why you counldn't install it as described. I'm looking for a copy of the original O2 F/W, So I can returned my Exec to its original spec if I need to. Especially as its only 4 days old!

A2DP - Advanced Audio Distribution Profile:
The Advanced Audio Distribution Profile in Bluetooth™ specifies the protocols and procedures that define the distribution of high quality audio content, in either mono or stereo on ACL (Asynchronous Connectionless link) channels.
