Debranded MDA Compact II ROM, 'Qtek' Style

[dave106]

now obsolete

new aku2 here

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279908

[funkus]

so am i right in presuming that the gprs settings and phone settings are present in the rom? if not, how do we find them?


ALSO:

T-Mobile are releasing a rom update this month (ie this coming week!) so it might be worth looking at what they have done, not just for wifi fix but any other maintenence changes. Apparently they do alot of testing on their roms so there might be useful stuff there.

[dave106]

t-mobile gprs and wap settings are part of the extended rom. the 3 cabs files that begin CAB-Customization-...

i didnt include them as i'm on O2. This is more like a 'Qtek' version for the charmer, a universal version. doesnt include any operator specfic content.

looking forward to that update, hopefully its aku2, everyone else is releasing theres at the moment.

What about SDIO drivers in this debranded OS?

[jonajuna]

so if i back up my current rom cabs and then install this, if it all goes pearshaped, i can relaod the origional and not end up with an expensive paperweight?

i wanna do the deed, but am scared as hell with it being my first PPC and only a few weeks old at that.

but anything to speed it up, its like im running windows or something.......



oh!


:oops: :wink:

[dave106]

only way you could mess up is if you pull the plug or have a power cut! while uploading the new os. remember to backup all your contacts and stuff as you'll need to hard reset.

you can start all over again if it doesnt boot or something by using the install package on the t-mobile site

http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/download_manager_mda_com2.html

just go into the phones bootloader, with the phone off, hold down camera and plug in the sync cable until the 3 color boot screen comes up and run the install package to go back to factory.

Dear dave106 and all;
i tried your fantastic upgrade yesterday. This was my experience:
1- I works like charm!
2- you might find it easier to use Total commander to uncheck 'system' and 'read-only' in the properties of the windows folder on your charmer, before Unlocking CID (to avoid any error).
3- alternatively you might use Lockiwiz 2b from this forum to unlock and unlock CID first.
4- the ROM upgrade went fine, showed some error messages on the charmer screen (nothing to worry about) but did not indicate an end. I unplugged it after 20 minutes. It rebooted on itself et voila, it was up and running.
5- Changing the boot scrren went very smoothly.
6- I noted that the T-mobile customization (after the new config.txt) did not install at all. I had to manually install the CAB listed in the config.txt file to reload the MMS and GPRS settings.

But now my charmer has no T-mobile crap on it...
However, i did not notice any dramatic change in speed....

Ill check your unbraded rom for wifi sdio capabilities over the next few days (on a 'just in case' basis). I'm just recovering from a totally borked pagefile on my main pc so ive been too busy to try as of yet.

[supreme2k]

thats a wizard, so you can just cid unlock it and install the imate or qtek wizard roms. the mda compact 2 is unique to t-mobile no other operator has it.

[supreme2k]

aeh....your sentence sounds strange to me, is it possible for my device or not ?

try it now, some tit nuked the uploads again

[viw9419]

Got the Rom Working, the difference is quite noticable. Re wrote the extended ROM to auto customise just enough to get the MMS and GPRS to work correctly. Did any one work out if a WiFi card SD card will now work?
Would like to know before i buy one!

Hi,

have followed instructions as above but when I go to write new rom it can't find os.nba.

Anyone have any ideas on what i'm doing wrong or what to do next?

I'm a noob, obviously :roll: :oops:

[widi76]

is there a working link? cannot download the rom!

please help!

[s1nn0n]

Do you need to unlock the CID on the charmer before doing the upgrade? It doesnt state that you do in the walk through.

Thanks.

the lastest awizard automatically executes the unlock CID whenever you try to write a file.

i'll be looking into debranding an AKU2 rom next, maybe when i'm off work in sept!

Hi,

I have the problem that my charmer will not boot up. It just gets stuck at the splash screen. I tried to hard reset, but it says format fat partition, format failed.

I have tried to reload the T-mobile Rom (jun 06 one) and it writes ok, but still does not work when it resets.

I thought I would try this unbranded rom, but I can't get the awizard to upload the rom as the phone is stuck at the splash screen.

Any ideas?

Thanks

*** UPDATE after reading most of this forum, I now know my only hope is a SD backup that I can restore, Anyone? Please? ******

[sharagath]

will this ROM also work for the compact I

or is the compact I somthing form the past for these updates???

[hanmin]

No it won't. Compact 1 will only run W2003, it cannot run WM5 (eg Charmer). DO NOT EVEN ATTEMPT. It may brick your Compact 1.

[anonymous1]

can't wait for the 'proper Update package'

thanx

I have a T-Mobile Compact 2, with ROM Version 2.6.2.28 GER, and I want to upgrade it to English. I have got links from the forum and almost all links are not opening, or the files are corrupt. Please help if you can.

[lelik_yaa]

The Problem is: I have change the ROM of my german T-Mobile MDA Compact II from the "Charmer 2060228 GER" to the "RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Shi p" and how can i now overwrite this one with "RUU_Charmer_2060227_20602110_021921_T-MobileUK_Ship" (or any other Charmer series)? When i start to change the ROM, it is loading about 1% and the mistake is about "nk.nbf" file. Is there any body know, how to solve this problem? Camera did not work!

Hi there, i saw your post on buzzdev.net that you have fixed this problem, i tried to use the latest wm6.1 rom from chrbeck which i have used before with no problems, but this time it didnt work so i put it back to standard t-mobile rom, problem is it wont boot but does go into bootloader mode but i keep trying and doesnt work, on hard reset it says format failed. how did you fix your problem as i cannot fully understand what you have done, thanks

[ChrBeck]

I don't think that user can help you, cause the posts are very old. The only possible way we know is to use MTTY with task 2a. That would reformat the system and fix the problem. But for that you need to have a device with SuperCID. Because we never thought about making a HardSPL or something like that, we don't have many devices, that are CIDunlocked (You have to do that before you upgrade your SPL to 2.x or 3.x otherwise it won't work anymore) So if your SPL is greater then 1.x I can't help you and I think that counts for the others too.
