Wow I cannot believe I just read all 9 pages of this topic!! I recently got a Tmobile MDA and was looking for cool things to do with it. So far I have update the rom and install many applications. I am just trying out a whole lot of applications then seen which are stable and work and which do not. I have done so much with this phone it is incredible. I plan on doing a hard reset and reloading everything from scratch again with only the applications I have decided to be useful and stable. I will post a full report on everything I install at the end it hopes it helps. Currently I have made a list of bugs that were already posted on this forum and I have verified, not all of them are bugs more like things that change or don't work after updating rom to 2.17:

- password prompt not accurate (if you set it to 0 it will still prompt you after a minute and when I set it 15 mins it still wasnt accurate)

-"The other thing is the battery icon in the title bar. It obscures the date/time that i had displayed there." (to me this wasn't a big deal, i love using MS voice to ask it what time is it)

-"the only factory installed app that that i notice missing is the instant messaging package. ""it is in the old extROM called Signed_OZPocketPC.Cab." (I actually miss this feature as I use to use it but many have recommended Agile Messenger so im going to give that a shot.)

-A problem that I noticed many were having in this forum and no one posted a resolution to was the problem where some were unable to update the rom. You would start up the program and it would say do you want to unlock the phone then you say yes and nothing happens. Well I was having the same issue which was my computers protection blocking it for some reason. I disabled my Norton Antivirus, as well as the section that stops scripts from running and I also had to disable Microsoft Anti-Spyware then the install was successful.

- I saw a couple poeple complain about not being able to use the wifi after the upgrade but this did not occur to me. Wifi worked great! how ever I will do more testing.

If you think this is a lot of info I have a lot more and will probaly create a new thread so that newbies can have an easier time doing what they want to do. I still consider myself somewhat of a newbie I have only had this phone for less then 2 weeks but after spending hours on this site among others I have learned a lot more. I hope this helps

Does this ROM has A2DP and AVRCP? If not, what would it take to add it?

I'm currently using the QTEK 2.8 TEST ROM with the features I wish above. To change from WiFi to GPRS and back, I need to change the settings and soft reset. It's a hassle. How is this supposed to work with the TMO ROM? Can one just turn on WiFi and bam he's there?

I'm using TMO and their unlimited data plan with hotspots. This noobie needs advice.

Thanks

Thanks for all the info olea, just in case if you want to get rid of the battery icon on the taskbar get LVMtime.cab, and if you want the battery icon next to the commanager find PowerTray.exe in the \Windows folder and place a shortcut in the start up folder, just in case you or anybody else find the info useful.

@ rambo6- there is a hack that enables A2DP I can't testify to it working cause I don't have a BT Stereo headset, but many if not all that have tried it said it works, as far as AVRCP not sure, but I don't think so, oh and as far as wifi goes, yeah, at least for me as soon as I establish a wifi connection my phone uses that instead of GPRS.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ascssmith:
rambo6, as far as your question about wi-fi... YES...

I have 2.17, i just go into comm mgr, tap wi-fi and off i go.. no soft-reset...

I also had a seamless upgrade. Just did it last night and things have been running nice and snappy since. Some of the little issues I was having are now gone. Thanks for a superb ROM!

Regarding WiFi -- I am having a problem with it. I'm not testing with a TMo hotspot, and I actually think that would work without any problems. But I can't just turn on wifi and automatically use my home network. I've tried everything that I could find and it just doesn't work. It works if I manually select my networks using the Connections advanced tab. But it doesn't switch between wifi and gprs seamlessly based on if wifi is turned on or not.

The following post has all the info about what I and others have tried to get seamless Wifi working:

I've had some free time and a new custom t-mobile rom is in the works. Feature wise I still plan to keep it small but new things will appear and needed tweaks will be made. If all goes well it should be released by this weekend.

Do you guys think I should include the hotspot login utility or not? Me or none of my friends personally use hotspot service, and I know you can just login to a hotspot through IE.

Thank You

My sincere appreciation goes to the creator of this ROM.

I just received my T-Mobile MDA today.

I put the Custom ROM and it's blazing fast.

Previously I had O2 XDA Mini S.

Even without installing the O2 stuff, this ROM is much faster than O2 AKU2 ROM.

Now I'm just waiting for Buzz to revise the Extended ROM unlocker to work on ROM version 2.

Once again, thank you.

Data crashes after updates...

Hey guys I'm new here, so of course I screwed up my MDA. I didn't do the 2.17 update I downloaded the RUU updater and updated the rom to 2.21 but then after all was said and done it told me DATA CRASHES. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR SERVICE CENTER. What do I do now? Then I flashed it to the 2.17 thinking it was the Rom. Same thing happen. Then thinking I'll just download the original Tmobile rom the same thing happen. So now my MDA doesn't do anything. I can't find any signal nor can I make calls or connect to anything. What did I do wrong? Is the sim card supposed to be in the phone while update? Whats funny is when the sim card is out of the phone the error message goes away. I even used my wifes sim card and nothing....what can I do? Does anyone have the original Tmobile stock rom? I'm hoping I can send this MDA back since I've only had it for 3 weeks and they'll send me a new one. Please someone help I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] optical:
Same here. Tried to upgrade my friend's MDA and I got Data Crash error. After hours of downgrade/upgrade between the original and 2.17 it's still stuck on that error.

I wonder if there MDA has changed internally (sim lock code or somethign) that may have caused this.

I upgrade mine when mda came out and it had no problems. Strange.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] :
I'm slightly screwed...

My MDA has sound problems so I needed to flash to original....

I used wizbackup... it suggested I need to flash to 1.01 IPL,

I still have

OS: 2.17.7.2

GSM: 02.07.10

But I cant use any rom flashing stuff cause the 1.01 IPL is not working with AS at all.

When I send this to t-mobile what will happen? I can't even get the orig rom back on, I made a backup with wizbackup but it seems that they didn't think out the restore properly. the restore or my unawareness of some details has hosed my machine.

BTW IPL 1.01 and

OS: 2.17.7.2

GSM: 02.07.10 is NOT ok. Battery management doesn't work, constant problems.

HOW TO UPDATE YOUR ROM

hi,

i'm new to the MDA. i know this is overly obvious to everyone, but i've read through this entire post and still haven't got a clue how to do this. is there a thread out there that goes through the entire process from start to finish, with detailed instrustions and definitions about what is going on when you do the upgrade?

i'm on T-Mobil in the US, just bought the MDA last week and it just seems really slow. especially surfing the web.

any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated.

whalien
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] tekchic:
whalien, it's really quite simple. I flashed mine successfully yesterday as well. Steps taken:

1) Read all 10 pages of this post. It's worth it to know what you're dealing with. I took notes.

2) Download the ROM

3) Sync with Active Sync

4) Double click the exe

5) UNLOCK phone first (if you've never flashed before)

6) Follow the steps that are on the ROM to the letter....really it's bulletproof in my opinion -- all you have to do is read what's on the screen and follow along.

My MDA was crashing 6, 7x a day with that horrid original ROM that I got from TMo. Gave up and flashed to 2.17 yesterday and it's the best thing I've done since I bought the phone. I'm back to enjoying it again!

Like having the "E" instead of the "G", since being in Phoenix it's always on Edge (at least 99% of the time for me).

Thanks to Xelencin for coming out with such a fantastic ROM release. You saved me from tossing my phone away on a desert hike :)

Using this ROM on Cingular 8125

This ROM will work on your 8125, but I think after the customizations run, everything will be configured for the T-Mobile network. You can hard reset your phone (by holding voice-command and comm-manager buttons while pressing the soft reset button, and then keep holding the vc and comm buttons until it prompts to format the fat partition - let go of the buttons and press send). After it finishes formatting, soft-reset right before it does the customizations. I think you'd have to put in your own mail and GPRS settings after that. Or you could just install Summiter's custom 2.25 ROM beta, which is newer than this one. You can get it at the following link. It's based on a Cingular ROM, so it should work for you right after installing without any special configuration. You might want to read the topic HERE for updated info on it.

8125, T-Mobile USA, and this ROM

xelencin has it configured as a T-Mobile USA custom ROM. It shouldn't require any additional configuration. There are some cabs you can run to set it up for T-Mobile here and running them seems to get things right for working on T-Mo. Again, however, I believe xelencin's ROM is preconfigured, so I don't think you really need those cabs. And, like xelencin said, there's a newer custom ROM avail from him right now, (and hopefully the 2.25 coming shortly), so I wouldn't get too comfortable with 2.17 anyway.

Re: Benefits?

If you have T-Mobile USA I'd say go for it. Its the latest ROM version, it runs fast and snappy, and it has the T-Mobile USA data settings and boot/splash screens so it looks like a branded device. I didn't include all the useless tmobile customizations though.

Re: Benefits?

I am curious too. I tried several times to mesh the I-Mate Rom and the T-Mobile settings and could never get it all to work out. I ended up flashing my Qtek 9100 with the T-Mobile MDA original rom and ext rom. While it is slow and has memory leak issues, it does have the email triggers and settings, so I've been pleased thus far. I would like something a bit faster but not at the expense of having the same issues as I had with the I-Mate rom. Would love to here pro/cons etc., as well as possible tweaks to improve performance.

Comm Mgr works fine for me. Two things i noticed though.

After setting a password, I set the "Prompt if device unused for" to 0 minutes. This usually means only prompt for a password if the phone is turned off then on, but now it prompts for password when left on after 1 minute on inactivity. I only want to be prompted during startup.

The other thing is the battery icom in the title bar. It obscures the date/time that i had displayed there.

1 day with T-Mobile USA 2.17 ROM (Custom)

Thanks xelencin and those who made this ROM possible. My MDA is lighting fast right now. I was very pleased with the MDA's stock ROM, but i decided to bite the dust, shut my eyes, twisted my fingers to turn my most precios toy to a brick or to something better or worst. Honestly it wasn't as bad if you do enough research, follow direction carefully, and make sure you read the instructions twice before each step. make sure you backup as much as you can of course. The process went without a hitch and woalla heheheehe. Ok where do i start? the phone volume is louder. The phone is very snappy (though there were some scary moments when i press the start button and it took about 5 sec for the pull down menu - this is gone of course). More storage because without most of the ExtROM crap, that's a plus for me too. I have an unlimit data plan for 19 bucks (how did i get that? the tmo sales prep i dealt with didn't know tmo changed the plan price to 29.99 - all i had to do was to argue with tmo customer rep that it is in my contract for 19.99 and they grand fathered it in woallla lucky me - mabe you should try that too hehehe - but really it was written in my contract). Anyway i was going to let the plan go because i didn't think the speed was fast enough, and it is a bit hassel to web browsing through EDGE/GRPS and most at time i am at a place that has WIFI to tap into. Well guess what, the data plan is staying because it is zooming right now, much faster than before. Remote Desktop and Citrix are working really well now. Who said MDA is to slow for remote desktop?????? Battery capacity seems to be much better as well. Wifi works for me without a hitch, i think it is faster too but i couldn't really tell. one plus feature with this ROM that TMO MDA lacking is Java Midlet. I now can use Google Local and Mini Opera and many midlets later on hehehe. I have not tried Push email but will soon. Bottom line if you don't have heart problem or not taking any arnger managment class and want some juice in your life go ahead with this ROM. I hope i don't talk too soon but my MDA ROCKS, My friend has a 6700 and he thinks it is slower than my MDA, what give????? hehehe. Once again, thank you xelencin and those who made this ROM possible.

My only question is i used lokiwiz to sim unlock my phone before i upgrade. will my phone still be sim unlock after upgrade? Haven't tested it yet but i will, just need a quick answer.
