Newbie needs help! - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

Ok, so I bought a Diamond yesterday, the P3700. Bought in Norway for £ 450, but the guy on the sales desk kinda messed up and gave me £ 210 discount
Anyway, I'm hoping to get an English language version of the ROM, but after downloading one I get the ERROR message that I've noticed a few other ppl have had that says something about the wrong vendor ID. The phone isn't locked and has the following details;
ROM-version: 1.37.409.3 NOR
ROM-date: 19th June 2008.
Radio Version: 1.00.25.03
Protocol Version: 52.26a.25.09H
Anyone any ideas? I would really appreciate any help on the matter.

Try this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409425 to see if that helps. And www.modmydiamond.info by racerx is a great source of information.

Well, I'm trying to fix this Diamond, but it doesn't want to play ball. Is my version too new? The phone is brand new, and I was wondering if there was a thread that has a how to for dummies like me for the P3700 Diamond. Like which Hard SPL do I need and which ROM? I'm guessing a WWE ROM is the one for an English version. To be honest all the version numbers are a bit confusing. I thought that I was quite good with computers etc, but this flashing etc. has me dumbfounded. You guys (programmers) must be geniuses!

Your ROM version is certainly NOT too new. If you follow the instructions in the thread that I mentioned in the previous post, you should not have any problems. And check out www.modmydiamond.info for all the info on the HARD-SPLs. And you should flash a 1.93 ROM instead of 1.37 as it is much fater and more stable. I prefer Dutty's V1.4 (or soon to be released V1.5). And I use Developer version (unsigned) Hard-SPL. You should also flash the 1.00.25.05 radio, and it seems to be more reliable and produce better reception.

Well, I just upgraded my phone to 1.93.409.1 NOR and 1.00.25.05 Radio. It was released last week by HTC. But, I'd still like to have an English version. It's late here 02:00, so I'm off to catch some zzz's. Many thanks for your help! I'll see if I can sort out the Hard SPL and the Dutty v1.5 fix later.

Overhaul XDA2i - Any suggestions ?

Hi Guys !
I've been going through this forum since I got my XDA2i a couple of months ago. I have the following config :
ROM 1.10.00WWE
ROM Date 12/24/2004
Radio Version 1.00.00
Protocol Version 1337.39
ExtROM Version 1.10.124 WWE
Model No PH10C
I wanted to know if there is a possibility of better versions of these, even if they are of other models/manufacturers, to be put together on 1 XDA2i and make it work like one helluva machine ?
Can you recommend / attach the files to this question and tell me a little more about it as I am a non techie !
cheers
Prattz
you can get the new rom version off the o2 website .just follow the links
My extrom is blank should there be something there ?- it seems to work ok.
Guys,
Thanks for the inputs, the reason I have put the question up is that I have seen people having higher versions of the various stuff. They've got ROm from somewhere and Radio stack from somewhere else etc.
1. I wanted to use your expertise in creating an all powerful tool.
2. Add Blackberry functionality as was advertised earlier by O2, what
a let down now that they've removed all mentions of the blackberry.
Would really appreciate help in this regard.
cheers
Prattz
There are two upgrades i know of ... one is the new I-mate upgrade, which came before the O2 one and has a newer Radio version .
BUT
the newest upgrade is the O2 upgrade, even though it doesnt have an upgraded radio.
A solution is to use the Rom "pug" posted, which uses the O2 upgrade but also includes the i-mate radio version.
You get the latest, and best of each so .... heres the link ... ftp://xdaupload:[email protected] XDA_IIi_Upgrade_v1.11.162 Radio_1.3.rar
I suggest you read through this 3 page thread first though as it will give you all the advice you need.

To which rom should I update my Dutch TMobile MDA pro?

Hi!
I really feel like a newbie when i read all the posts about all the different rom versions, so can someone give me some advice which rom i should use to upgrade to?
I have a dutch TMobile MDA pro, which is still at the default rom:
ROM: 1.12.42 WWE (8/23/05)
Radio: 1.00.02
extRom: 1.12.125 WWE
I am experiencing problems with spontaneous hangs (which might have to do with 3rd party software, but the device itself isnt exactly stable)
but also the radio often just loses signal, which i can only fix by rebooting...
I want to upgrade, but i don't want to spend toooo much time on it. Is there a rom that offers better stability which is easy to install and configure?
Regards,
Casper
Try updating to the latest I-Mate Jasjar ROM. Very stable and fast. I too use a lot of 3rd party applications and games. This is my 3rd day of not experiencing any problem without doing a soft reset in the morning.
I prefer Orange ROM... both imate and orange are the same version though... only that Orange's ROM is released while Imate is still not released

ady, what made you say the I-Mate ROM has not been released yet? It is true there is a test version which came 2 weeks earlier than the one I am using now which is NOT the test version. Just curious.
Another question please about the NEW Orange ROM. Is it true that the vibrate is always ON and you can't turn it OFF?
I did it!
last week i gathered my courage, downloaded the JasJar rom, found the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe tool, pressed install, drank a cup of coffee, and was finished!
It went flawlessly! And my T-Mobile MDA Pro has never run smoother!
I couldnt (and wouldnt) have done it without this forum, so thanks guys!
Now its just waiting until there is a new stable rom with A2DP on it, and then i'll upgrade again!

I upgraded my mda pro to the latest t-mobile UK ROM straight out of the box. But even then I have the same problems with spontaneous hangs. And reading your success story I gathered all the files JASJAR_WWE_13076_164_10900_wwe_ship.exe and MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to upgrade to the JasJar rom myself. But as complete newbie who is affraid to mess things up, did you do anything else except unzipping the ROM update and copying the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to that folder ? The reason why I am asking I read somewhere that you have to add [CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1 to the RUU.conf file.
Thanks in advance.
JASJAR rom works fine
My T-mobile mda pro NL arrived today and i almost immediately flashed it to Imate JASJAR firmware on the xda-developer ftp. I used the Universal_Upgrade_v1.30.68_radio_1.09.0.zip file which contains:
Rom 1.30.68 WWE
Radio 1.09.00
ExtROM 1.30.153
Protocol 42.42P8
and is dated at 08 february 2006.
This works fine and removes the ugly pink theme and adds some nice apps like skype after customizing. It also has an alternative contacts menu, which has skype integration. Pocket MSN (a not so nice app imho) is also included, although i use the new agile messenger beta.
The bootscreen mentions 'for testing only, not for sale' which might indicate that it is not a final (not sure though).
Thanks it works like a charm.
ROM 1.30.76 WWE
ROM date 20 february 2006
Radio 1.09.00
Protocol 42.42.P8
ExtROM 1.30.164 WWE
I'm using T-mobile UK version with 1.09 radio rom. This version INCLUDES the a2dp profiles, but no pushmail. You can use the blackberry connect software from german t-mobile site on the Universal. so you will have AND pushmail and A2DP.
http://www.pocketinfo.nl/artikel/5561
I think Imate rom is also a nice ROM.
Reading this topic en reading the instructions about bootloader, I have another question. In the instruction ist says to make a factory reset after loading the new ROM. Does this mean that all information in your MDA is wiped out and must be reloaded?
yes the machine is a complete naked beauty afterwards

Upgrade Advice Please

hey guys
this is my first post here so i just wanna say how much information i have learned from this site and the forums. and i haved used the search function but after hours came up with nothing.
I have a MDA PRO Running the latest T-Mobile Rom, but its causing me so many problems.
It Takes forever to answer a call(around 10 secconds after ive pressed answer) it takes ages to open any applications. its just slow.
i was running the Imate rom before and was really happy with it. but there are some features that have come in the new t-moibile rom that i would like to keep such as the green battery icon and the "Soft Key" Application.
So i was thinking of only upgrading the extrom and the radio.
My current config is:
ROM VER : 1.30.114 WWE
Rom Date: 04/13/06
Radio : 1.10.03
Protocol Ver: 42.44.p8
EXT ROM VER : 1.30.232 WWE
I was looking to upgrade to either the QTEK or the IMATE rom b ut i wanted to know if ill still have the green abttery indicator and "soft Key" application as im not sure if they come with the rom or the OS. if not can anyone tell me where i can get them from plz.
Also alot of ppl are saying that radio 1.09 is the most stable, can anyone confirm this please.
Cheers guys
You will not get those features with the currently available Qtek or i-mate WWE.
I do however, have a suspicion (my spidey sense is tingling) that there will be new ROMs from within the next month and a half.
In the meantime, feel free to cook up your own. :lol:

Need Advice on Upgrading Plz help :)

Greetings! I am new here and I recently bought an xda exec here in china. Problem is, the exec was loaded with a chinese rom because it was intended for chinese users so i asked the seller to make it in english. It seemed they had a problem with changing the rom, Im not really sure coz i cant understand half of what theyre saying. After a long wait, I was given an exec with a dopod rom.
Now having a different rom from the supposed manufacturer's one, it seems my unit has a few errors, for example im frequently having a sddaemon (which i found out has something to do with the contacts list) and sddialer (which i think has something to do with voice dialing) errors. Another thing I have a problem with is, the boot screen, since it was loaded with a dopod rom, it says "dopod enjoy mobility" at the boot screen. I feel kinda uneasy with it, simply put, i dont like it.
Also, I think my problems would be solved by flashing a different rom, but im not sure what to use tho. Actually, I want to use a 'proper' o2 rom because i like to have the boot screen back to o2. Yet, it seems everyone is suggesting the JasJar rom, do you think i should use the JasJar rom? If so, How can i change the boot screen to the o2 one?
For anyone who can help, Advice on how to address my problems is very much appreciated. I tried searching the forums but i cant seem to get how the search function working. I humbly ask guidance and advice to my problems and a proper redirection is highly appreciated. thanks in advance!
also..
Also, I'm also considering upgrading to WM6. Is it advisable to upgrade to WM6?
WM6 has a better looking than WM5, and most of the software are newer.
If you want stable, you can use WM5, most of the new ROM are all for the WM6, I am also a user in China, I am now using WM6 with a chinese language supporting package.
How unstable is wm6? Does wm6 have features or anything to offset the instability?
@XingYun: are you using an english rom with chinese text support or is your rom purely chinese? Im thinking of copying your setup, would you advise it?
BTW, my Device information says the ff:
ROM version: 1.30.111 WWE
ROM date: 04/06/06
Radio Version: 1.04.02
Protocol Version: 42.37.P8
ExtROM version: 1.13.188 WWE
Any more help and advice is very welcome
Later builds of WM6 for Universal isn't really unstable. It's actually better. There's only one problem. NO VIDEO CALL.
You can get the latest WM5 ROM here:

You can get the latest WM6 Crossbow ROM here:

Use the Search facility... It really helps.
Ok, ive decided to upgrade to wm6. Since I want to have an o2 boot screen, should i use the o2 rom from the jwright link? Will it be compatible with my unit even tho I am running a dopod rom? All I need to do is follow the directions from the wiki :
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...tion On How To Upgrade with Bootloader method
Am I correct? Sorry for sounding like a n00b, but I'm quite scared of making a mistake, so I want to be extra sure and extra careful. Advice and help is appreciated. thx.
I am using a English ROM with Chinese language support, and YouYuan text format, my machine infomation is like this:
ROM version: 2.05.00 WWE
ROM date: 04/09/07
Radio version:1.15.00
This is the ROM I am using:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305512
Finally upgraded with Jwright wm6 rom, works fine now, thx everyone.
Hi, HProvider
Could you tell me where did you find the chinese language support package?
Mine does not work well with the Jwright ROM.
Thanks!

hey bro thanks for sharing but i tried uk and nl and both archives are corrupt???
please reupload the ruu or try a different link thanks in advance!
I tried DE, AT, UK - they work fine here!
Tried AT Version - download does not work!
Hmmmm, for me it worked perfect.
Do we have a straight link ?? I mena to t-mobile site ??
Sorry, i am to stupid
I have always thought, i am a ppc-pro.
But now, i am at the end of my wisdom.
My Device is the MDA Vario II from T-Mobile (get it 1 week ago).
First i have done was to visit the xda-devs, read all about upgrading a hermes, flashed HardSPL, flashed Schaps 3.54b -> all went fine.
Now i would like to try this Official Rom and this is where i stuck.
Can i simply Flash this one and is my Device after that still with HerdSPL or do this overwrite my IPL / SPL.
If this is so, can i reflash HardSPL and change to any other Rom (Schaps new one, when released or else).
Sorry for so many questions, i really read all the Wiki - Sites but i can not figured out how this work.
Because my English is not so good and it is hard to read so many technical Threads.
Thank you for any answers.
give it a day and someone will cut the bloat out and release it with a custom ruu if your unsure
i have extract this by myself and repacked it without the ipl.nb and spl.nb.
but i am not sure if i can flash this with the ruuwrapper.exe found on this forum.
This is possibly the most impressive released ever!
T-Mobile UK have been saying that there would be no update for the past 12months and its got an official release!
Gonna flash and reply in a few!
I have updated my ROM thread accordingly to celebrate the release!!!
does it come with a radio version?
Rom:
3.60.110.4
Radio:
1.50.00.00
Protocol:
32.83.7020.20h
Nothing yet on the official download site
... and it appears to be identical to the test version pushed out a few months back. Presumably the "For Test only" splashscreen has been removed.
Indeed it has been and its fast, I went into Hard-SPL and it flashed up!
Does anyone know what SPL this should be?
Herm300
IPL-1.04
HERM300
SPL-2.03
OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)
ROM Date 09/05/07
Storage (total) 47.73 (Free) 39.34
Program (total) 48.77 (Free) 28.54
Anychance of getting it extracted? I managed to flash using Hard-SPL and it all works very very well, uber fast
Never been so happy with my Windows Mobile 6.
Has installed okay on mine with no messing around with RUU's or anything.
No test version on the splash, although its a little jarring to go back to the god awful pink and white on first reboot. Now where did I put my Black themes......?
I really miss the original Spawn splash screen. Did anyone ever actually release an installer for it?
