I bought some days ago the MDAII for 550€ without SIMLook.
For me the MDA Software is very boring and am missing the features of the XDAII Software.
So my question is...
is it possible to (Software-)Upgrade a MDAII to a XDAII with the Tools wich I can find at this page?
Sorry, I'm a newbie...
and many thnx for the responses!
Quick answer 'Yes'
Slightly longer answer, take the Update from the O2 website, use ER2003 Edit to change the country ID to T-Mobile, then flash away.
I had Dutch T-Mobile...then O2... now custom O2 (removed all O2 custom stuff and got rid of MMS as I dont use it etc etc).
While it is technically possible... if you are a newbie and don't have much experience, I can just recommend: DON'T DO IT... these hacking programs can also lead to complete loss of a working device!

Hi,
I'm a Newbie too, but why should he change the country ID to T-Mobile, if he has a Sim UNlocked handy it should work anyway ... or is it not that way ???
Because if he fails with the procedure and ends up with an unworkable device he will have to go to his vendor who might ask some questions and maybe even reject doing anything about it... is it really worth is?
OK that's the reason, it makes sense ...
thank you

I also have the MDA II, with current 1.60.36 ROM. I liked the 1.60 better.
I'm not sure why you would think O2s ROM is so much more exciting I'm not sure. Besides a different today screen I doubt there is that much difference, except for stability. In fact I was very close to upgrading to O2 1.60.50 myself, but decided to wait for T-Mobile to come out with their next upgrade, which I would think should be soon, because it has been awhile since their last poorly put together upgrade.
As long as you are willing to take the risk of a voided warranty, go for it.
The place to get the upgrade, from t_mobile to O2 is right in this forum index. Look for User-MDKIA. This fellow that put this together I believe knows what he is doing and because of the way he has developed the upgrade I do not believe you need to be concerned about the Country ID error.
Good luck.http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=7278&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=25
but why should he change the country ID to T-Mobile, if he has a Sim UNlocked handy it should work anyway ... or is it not that way ???

Because in my case I had to, gave Country ID error when I tried to put the O2 ROM on my T-Mobile unit.
Dont know why people worry about doing it, as long as you follow instructions its dead simple... unless you are editing the ROM (ie removing bits) you cant really go wrong! Even if you do edit the ROM you still cant really go wrong if you read whats on this site!
Even if you **** up completely as long as you can get to the bootloader you can always flash it back to how it was...
its not rocket science...
I wantet to flash the O2 ROM to the MDAII because I have a O2 SIM Card. Some Options like the Homezone Statusviewer or the O2 Active profiles are very useful.
But... If it's so easy as described... It should be no problem to reconvert a MDAII with XDAII ROM back to MDAII ROM (for example if I want to sell it) or not?
thnx for all these useful informations.

Hey m8!
Check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=8205
Itsme made a tutorial for upgrading roms.
I don't know your problem... it's really easy as hell.
Just use Er2003edit, it takes care for everything!!!
Here you can edit the header information with a drop down menu.
If you currently have a MDA2 simply change the header info in the three ROM-files from O2 to TMOBILE, then run the upgrade.
You cannot do something wrong, the upgrade tool will not start at all if not everything is right, and even then still the bootloader is available.
I haven't heared so far of a trashed XDA2 device ;-)
By the way... think of making your own Ext-rom ;-)

I really was thinking about making this, but I have too less information actually, may be you can help me find some mor infos about that ... would be very interesting ...
ciao
Investigate the threads refering to Er2003edit, I think they explain pretty good what it is all about.
In the end it is simple drag 'n drop with programs you like to have after hardreset (or don't have). When finished update the config.txt file which handles the install process, note not to use programmes which execute a softreset after install.
Look at this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=7196&highlight=
here is a lot optimized stuff for the ext-rom.

Agree. I think setting the timer on my VCR is more complex!
Even if it all goes completely wrong you should still have access to the bootloader... so you can just flash it again...
settings o2 rom (germany)
Hi,
I'm using a MDA II (T-Mobile) and a O2 card.
I'm interessted in umgrading to a O2 rom but I'm afraid of loosing warranty. I'm not afraid that something should be wrong by flashing the o2-rom to my xda II but I have 2 years warranty left and in that time some other things may happend to my system that I must use the warranty.
So I need the O2 settings of the O2 rom to use MMS, WAP, GPRS,... Which file of the O2 rom have stored these settings?
There are a lot of files in that rom, what are these all for?
I coppied allready the homezone tool which works fine on my XDA II (don't start automatically - coppied to autostart but don't start , only manual start works - somone a sollutions for that?).
Does anyone know for what all the programs in my startfolder are for? There are a lot of entried which will fast system... But I don't want to find it out by trieing....
Does anyone knows a good simulation for the XDA II to test software. I dont' want to put all on my life system and delete again. I thing the regestry will grows bigger and bigger....

I successfully dumped the English ROM off my Touch Dual today. I would suggest the following:
1. Find one of the more experienced cooks who would be willing to take the WWE dump I uploaded and make an NL version of it
2. Find out if and how the Touch Dual can be flashed with custom ROMs (I don't believe any of us have tried)
3. Move this thread over to the new Touch Dual (known as Nike here) forum which is located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=401
i have an dutch touch dual. dont know how to dump though. Do you still need it?
Yeah! That would be great! However... I'm affraid I can't help you with the dump process.... Anybody else?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoDumpRom
but if you have dumped a rom ... you cant flash it back to a device! you must wait for a jumpspl, hardspl or sspl version.
Hey there!
I cant dump the rom. When I try to check the partition size, all four partitions have the values:
real nr of sectors: 1 - 512.00byte (0x200)
So I'm stuck at dumping the rom.....
Maybe I've done something wrong?
O... and sorry for the late reply.
I have an english Touch Dual 16-buttons, but i want dutch XT9. I tried several options here, but these all not seem to work, the versions i tried are for the 20-button version.

I also tried a lot of cabs, reg. changes etc, but always the same problem. I'am able to get the Dutch library working, but de Touch Dual acts like a 20 button device.
Well, there must be some intelligent humanbeing here on xda-dev who can solve our problems .
I think cooking a Perfect rom (Dutty's Style) is WAY more difficult than this little problem... Anyone got the solution?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1860550#post1860550
if you follow the steps in this topic, you will be able to enable the dutch XT9 on your WWE device, I did so too. in the post below mine, you'll find the neccersary (<- I hate that word, I can't spell it right ) files.
I have a few questions about flashing my qtek s200, hope one of you guys could answer them. I have read around in the forums, and came to the conclusion that the simplest way to flash it would be with Prophet Tools 2.8.3 is that correct?
I was hoping to get to download the pdaviet 4.0.0.0.6 touch rom, but all download links is broken and pdaviet application cant connect to server. Does anyone know were to download this rom, or have a link, suggestion on another rom with touch interface embedded?
I have also read alot on this forum about problems with bluetooth, irDa and wifi when you flash your prophet device. Maybe someone has a suggestion on a rom that does not have this problems, and also isnt filled with third party applications. I would like a clean rom, so I can install my apps myself.
Thanks in advance.
/Andreas
I would personally use Prophet Tools (but I am slightly biased...).
By "Touch Interface" do you mean the cube or just being able to use your finger to scroll?
For the cube, I'd go with a ROM based on Gullums Prophet Touch X (quite old) or one based on Cloudyfas ShadoW 2 TE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364430). Both are stable ROMs and both run well.
If you just want the finger scrolling part, Cloudyfas latest ROM, and the ROMs based on that are fast and stable (including my own, ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=391907)
Yes i mean the cube interface, but also I checked your rom out just now, and it looks interesting also. If I have got everything right the simple way to do this is as follows.
Find XP workstation
1. Hardspl
2. Use prophet tools
3. Be happy
Am I right?
Will there be any issuses worth conseidering about which operator I use, live in Sweden and uses Telia.
Is the 1.3 the newest one of your roms? And does it have letter and block recognizer included?
XP is advised (vista has some driver bugs)...
I would say:
1. Use Prophet Tools (to hardSPL, but SIM unlock your device first unless it has already been SIM unlocked)
2. Flash a ROM
3. Be Happy!
There shouldn't be operator issues (many new ROMs have a tool for setting up the device with operator specific settings).
I'm currently uploading a newer version of my ROM (1.4) which should be up in about 10 minutes.
With sim unlock, you mean if the device is locked to a specific operator (such as vodafone) or do you mean something else? It is not locked to an operator.
And one more thing, swedish language (not in menus, but when typing sms and such things)In other word, special signs that we use in sweden. Such as Å Ä Ö are they included, selectable in this rom?

I don't think so... For multi lingual things, Gullums Coffie ROMs are probably the best...
Ok, to bad. I can live with the fact that the menus and such things are in english, but I can't live with the fact that I can't write sms/mms without swedish letters.
I will have a look att the multilingual roms though.
I may work on a multilingual ROM, but not atm as I have exams and other work...
u can find some keyboard applications to write with letters in your language.
i use English menus and program names but LEng keyboard gives me all i need to write in Turkish (it was in prophet box when i bought it). Full pack has ability to make interface translation but i think there is no updated version for WM6. Search the web: "penreader LEng language extender Swedish" you can find a trial.
Also there is HTC Diamond keyboard. Gullum added some more languages, but i think Swedish is not in them yet, maybe he can add:

Well it sure seems that he added swedish, do you need a special rom to use them, if thats the case, which one?
no, it is not specific to any rom, you can try..
Hm, yes I could do that if I were certain that it should work, because if it doesn't work I have no way to get my swedish wm5 back. At least no way that I know of yet..
Have you flashed a ROM yet?
Do you still have the Swedish WM5 ROM on your device, and do you have a spare SD card?
If yes, the wiki may help you!

Ah sweet, how do I know if it's CID unlocked? And if it is, is there any way to unlock it?
EDIT
nevermind, found it in wiki
But it seems that if I cid-unlock it as decribed in wiki, then it installs another rom. So if thats the case I lose my swedish WM5 rom anyhow.

If you HardSPL/SoftSPL the device, it'll stop CID checking but will keep the original ROM on there.

Ah so it's that simple. Thanks
When I hardspl:ed with prophettools, I got an error message that the program couldnt communicate with the phone (under the RUU part) and the phone displayed a white screen. Is that normal? The phone works just fine after soft reset. Btw, are you supposed to boot the phone to "os" and then hardspl, or are you supposed to have it in bootloader mode?
The wiki seems down, so if anyone could post the command for dumping the rom with tera term it would be greatly appriceated. Thanks.

If prophet Tools doesn't work, use the "update Package" in the Upgrade guide sticky thread.
The White screen is normal. That is what the first part of HardSPL does.
With HardSPL, boot it up normally, and then use HardSPL.

HardSPL is sucessful if your SPL changes to

or

Hi all,
I've got a Touch Pro, this is the info (in red) that's on the boot screen when I start it up:
R 1.02.25.19
G 52.33.25.17U
D 1.90.00.00
Now, I'm new to hacking mobile phones so please help me out a bit.
R is the radio rom version?
G is what?
D is the firmware version?
I implemented all the speed and camera hacks I could find, to the max and the phone is stable and fast.
What I would like is for these changes to be default in the rom so I don't have to do them all over again when I do have to do a hard reset and the 3G reception could be a bit better.
Is there an update available aka has anyone here made a mod that offers what I seek? If not, how can I get it done?
Thx,
Patrick
btw. maybe this is an insanely stupid question but can the Diamond Touch rom be used in the Touch Pro without losing funtionality?
btw2. how do I customize the properties of the Touchflo "Internet" tab. There is a world globe icon, a big one, that starts Opera but I'd like it to open another url by default. Changing the homepage in Opera didn't do the trick. I also would like the icon not to be a world globe but a Google logo image for instance. How do I customize this? And again, how can I get these changes as default, so in case of a hard reset, I still have this config.

You can keep you settings by Cooking you own ROM, if your not upto that use UC or SASHMI to auto customise you ROM after flashing.
Oh, and Don't uise a Diamond ROM, it won't work straight off, it must be ported, unless someone can comfirm otherwise, Radio ROMs should work.
Thanks

Hi Dave,

Ok, Im ready for my first flash experience with this Touch Pro I hate Dutch language software and I see there's a newer version available here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Raphael_WM6.1_ROMs
So I'm going to flash http://rapidshare.com/files/1375236...dio_FOTA_Sign_52.35.25.21_1.02.25.31_Test.exe to test how it works.
To me it seems a bit strange that the one I'm going to try has a newer radio and protocol version but an older rom version than others that ate in that list which in turn have an older radio and protocol version but I'm going to try it.
As I understand it I can't do an attempt to customize a rom as a hardspl version of the Raphael rom is not available yet, correct?
Patrick
btw. my current rom version is: 1.90.404.1 and the update is 1.90.502.2
update..... I got an invalid vender (vendor I guess? ) error. I understand why and I see my phone is still intact.
Quick point....
ROM versions are labeled in a certain way.
first 3 numbers are the ROM version.
next comes the customisation (SKU)
so....
1.90 is the ROM version.
502 is the SKU (ATT/Cingular)
405 is WWE etc.
so you have the latest ROM and the latest Radio. Although i think the .31 radio is only on the AT&T one so maybe it is optimised for AT&T frequencies.
I doubt you will be able to instal this to your Dutch device, as the CID will be different. SO i would wait until HardSPL is released before you try this. However, at worst, all you should get is an error telling you that the update is not for your device at the moment.
Yah, the error I got The phone is still ok, everything is still there.
So, anyway, no updating for now since there's nothing newer than what I've got. I gather I have to wait for the hardspl version if I want to switch to English?

Official X05HT Radio
Someone got the Softbank´s X05HT Official radio ROM?
Thank you very much s2k7.
I flashed my Touch Pro with your Softbank ROM without any problem. According to your first post, you said this is the Softbank X05HT ROM without USIM nag screen, and it should work on the service providers other than Softbank.
However, every time I turn my phone on, I got a white screen keep me from using this phone. The message say my USIM was not installed correctly or the USIM is not from Softbank (in Japanese of course), but I am able to take phone call from other people without any problems.
It is not like any other SIM locks that I seen before. At least the call receiving part is working fine. If I press the end call button, I can see the Touch FLO is working behind the white screen, but it goes back to the white screen right away. If I have a miss call, the centre button is flashing just like normal, I also seen the missing call icon on top of the screen. I wonder if there are any ways to take the white screen out.
I am looking forward to your reply
Thanks a lot
I'm also having the white screen...Is there a special way around it?
Hi,
Actually, I found a solution for white screen problem. Sorry, I should post the founding as soon as I found.
You can remove the white screen with imei-check-unlocker (http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3100unlock.php). Start it up with you phone connected to USB and ActiveSync enabled... After the program asks for some password file, just close it! (close dos prompt window). Restart you phone and the white screen gone.
By the way, this ROM is working pretty good and steady on my Touch Pro, it is also running slightly faster than my stock ROM. It is a pretty nice choice if you need to type Japanese all the time.
The above method works on my case, but not sure if it works with yours. Please don't blame me if it doesn't
Important note: after using this rom, my phone only work with 3G only. I have a SIM card with 2G plan only and it is not working with this ROM.
Thank you for your fast reply to my question!
Probably 2G doesn't work because the Japanese phonesystem is 3G and above only ;P
I have one more question for this Japanese ROM...
Is the interface Bilangual like most "international" phones in Japan? I need to type Japanese sometimes, but I would prefer an English layout...
Thx in advance!
This rom has Japanese interface only. After you flashed this rom, your Touch Pro will be exactly the same as X05HT.
If you just need to type Japanese with English ROM, you may want to read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482611&highlight=japanese
I tried this method on my Touch Pro with regular WWE English ROM, it works pretty good for me. However, it may not work with other language ROMs, it failed on Chinese ROM.
Have fun
Link Down?
Hi,
Fantastic job, but the file seems to be down. Can you post this file again please? This is exactly what I'm looking for. (I'll switch to an English ROM when I leave Japan but for now, Japanese is better with all the Softbank non-standard stuff in there)
I bought an unlock from Olipro (htc-unlocks.com) for my Softbank X05HT, and it appears to work apart from Softbank's second level of Sim locking.
Thanks!!!!
Thanks for reposting the file so quickly. Buy you a beer if you're in Tokyo!
Thanx! m(_ _)m
