http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/DumpRom

I sent an email to the developer to see if he could update the tool for the 128 bit header that the MDAIII has instead of the 64 bit header that of the XDAII and I.

You could try it as is though.

Anyone else have any luck dumping the full ROM from a UK T-Mobile MDAIII?

I'd like to get this crappy Imate ROM off my German MDAIII and load he latest T-Mobile UK WWE ROM...

Any and all help is appreciated!!

I have a UK T-Mobile MDA III. If someone posts me a link to the required Rom dump tools and a quick walk thru or command line then i'll upload it.

Anything to speed up development on it as i really need it unlocked :lol:
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] bigblk150:
Does anyone know if it would be possible to drop the T-Mo MDA III ROM into an XDA IIs?

I love the black case so much in comparison to the PDA2k and MDA III that I'd be willing to buy one and try it out. Of couse, there's also the issue of unlocking it if not already unlocked... :(

Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] daggerga:
Did you figure it out "gonesuper"?

Does anyone know if T-Mobile UK has a ftp site to download ROM updates like Qtek and Imate?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] daggerga:
Nothing? If T-Mobile UK is selling the MDAIII through their business channels, where is the support URL to download software for it?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] JohnnyDH:
Hi,

I've found a site which describes how to backup the ROM to a SD card on an XDA IIs so presumably it would work for the MDA III? here's the link:

http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=151&PN=1

If anyone is successful I would dearly love to get a copy as I'd like to swap my MDA but not let them know that I've been screwing with incorrect firmwares!

Cheers, JDH
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] daggerga:
Now that the MDAIII is listed on T-mobile UKs website, does anyone know the web address for ROM downloads on T-mobile UKs websites?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Jiggy:
Dagger ga, I am currently complaining to T-Mobile UK about this very issue and there is another guy in the same boat. The MDA III still have the bluetooth and mic issues and although T-Mobile Germany has seen fit to post an patch/upgrade (including blackberry) the support in the UK is non existent.

I would urge you to add your voice to mine and contact T-Mobile UK customer services/technical support. Hopefully at this rate they have got to start to listen to all of us. The non existent support is scandalous for such a high end device.

Incidentally I have written another post as expansys.com on this to the other person who has these issues. See the forum: imate/PDA2K if you are interested.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xdadom:
Hello,

The best thing to do is install another ROM eg, i-mate ROM, and then install all the T-Mobile Extended ROM files from backup...

To backup the extended ROM...

1) Download this file to your device and run it! - ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/BlueAngel/Extended_ROM_Kitchen_1_22/Tools/xda-developers _Unlocker.CAB

(this will installed the extended rom tools to your device.)

2) Under "Programs\Extrom Tools\" on your device click, "unlock" then click ok, next click "unhide" then ok! After this reset your device.

3) With the device ActivSync'd to your PC, browse to your device from you PC and you'll now see a folder called "Extended ROM" in the main "Device" window. In here are all your extended rom files. Copy ALL the files in this folder to your computer - DO NOT DELETE OR MODIFY ANY FILES IN THIS FOLDER (unless you know what you're doing)!!!

4) Go back into "Start\Programs\Extrom Tools\" on your device click, "lock" then click ok, next click "hide" then ok! After this reset your device.

5) ALL DONE - you should now have a copy of your extended ROM files.

Hope this helps...

Thank you for the advice you have offered. Unfortunately I am a complete novice and don't even know how to get hold of the latest Imate ROM.

If you have the time could you PM me with some further details on how to download the new ROM.

Apologies for being a pain and thanks again :?

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtdc:
first of all, sorry if this is already a duplicate thread, i can't find anything regarding Xperia E port to Arc.

Xperia E is known to have inferior hardware specs than Arc, but this one have stock jellybean (4.1.1?)

was there any straight port from the dump of Xperia E so that we have a close official form of stock sony jellybean, to run on our Arc?

i know also there are jellybean custom ROMs for Arc around, tried a few but it doesn't match the overall responsiveness of gingerbread. also, the custom ROMs more often look like stock android, losing the Sony style, but this depends on the owner's taste. for me i still prefer the Sony style and look.

i would assume the Sony stock jellybean running on Xperia E to be minimalistic and fast to support its hardware, so definitely would run better on the Arc, plus the Sony style is there.

is there anything out already, or no dev much interested in this? thanks fellow xda arc users!

I know this is an age old question, but I figured I'd give it a shot. I was wondering what my best option was to get apps and/or their data onto my microsd card. I've tried the method with Directory Bind, but I wasn't to big a fan. Just looking for a point in the right direction, for the easiest/quickest/best method.(I have already rooted my phone, so rooting isn't an issue)

Also while I'm here what's the best method of free tethering, again with the rooted ability.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] krazykevin76:
Same here! I've tried the foldermount method and using shortcuts with the root explorer in Rom manager to no avail. But, for someone with some knowhow, I've accidentally got it to work with Spotify. I don't know for the life of me what I have done, but between hours of using the above to methods, Spotify is now on my external Sd card. I can uninstall spotify, wipe data, cache, the whole nine yards and when I reinstall, boom, straight to my sd card. I can reformat my sd card, and when I install spotify, it will create a folder named Android/data/com.spotify.mobile.android.ui folder. on my sd card. All the songs i download goes in the same directory just like it did under sdcard0 on the internal memory. But now, I can't replicate this at all. I'm trying with zedge, but no luck. If I find anything, I'll post back to this thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] android-incredible:
I downloaded a couple of apps,but when i open ES file explorer i cant find the apps,it suppose to be in the download folder.I did check in the sd card0 and in the ext sdcard and no lock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tmaclax013:
First time I tried with Directory Bind I was able to move the game file to the sd, but when opening the app it requires downloading the files, so it can't find them in the new Directory. The next time was short lived because I couldn't find files for most recent app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tmaclax013:
Anyone know how I could find out where the apps were installed to. I'm trying a different method but I can't find where the app was installed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sppatel:
Doesn't titanimum backup allow this? I've never personally tried it but I thought I saw a move app to SD card option.

I will help you to get ftf firmware file. So if you break anything with rooting or somehow you can always go back to what your phone came when you bought it. A complete noob can do it.

You only need to reflash your phones firmware with SMUS and upload few files to web.

You don't void warranty and you do not need root.

It'll help you to get forums maybe :)

Interested PM me, it will cost you nothing I promise. :D
[Sony Xperia L] championswimmer:
it is not a very good idea to work blindly for a device (especially kernels)

to be specific I would like to say

1. do not work blindly on a device if you do not own at least a similar device (similar or same SoC and vendor, like all the 2011 Xperias)

2. even if working on a device is not a problem, releasing it to a place like XDA makes it a tad dangerous for the users.

[Sony Xperia L] ghostzz:
unlocking the bootloader and rooting are not related to the reboot problem.its a software bug..it should be solved in the upcoming update or wait till any one develops a custom rom for xperia L,unlocking the bootloader allows you to install a custom kernel on your phone and rooting gives you additional permissions for customization and many more things. btw is your phone running on .36 firmware or .31? my phone is on .31 and i have the reboot problem too..

I removed all the bloatwares pushed by Sony. Also removed all the social network integration apps for Facebook and twitter.

You can go to System/app and delete the apks. But careful not to delete OS files. Most bloatware are not in system/apps. It is somewhere else.

I forgot the location where it was. Keeping looking into folders and you will ocate the apk files.

For app list, just search "Stock apps, safe to remove from Xperia". You will find loads of threads.

In the same thread someone mentioned that his Sandisk Class 10 did not work. Go figure...

I had A-Data Class 10 and it was not recognized either. Ironically this Class 10 card was recognized by 2.5 year old HTC Incredible S without any problems.

Thread also mentions that smaller size Class 10 cards are not recognized either. So it seems XL controller (or software?) has problems recognizing Class 10 cards in general. I hope it is a firmware problem which can be fixed with an update. Hopefully.

Inserted Kingston Class 4 32GB and it worked. At the moment only truly working solution is to use Class 4 cards.

Unless you have an access to many Class 10 cards you can experiment with.
