Official (not beta) version ROM 1.72 for T-Mobile MDA II - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Somebody knows, whether new official (not beta) version ROM 1.72 for T-Mobile MDA II has appeared?
:?

were all waiting
In the meantime I upgraded to the Qtek 1.72 (at leats Radio & OS) I custom build a Extended Rom that fulfills my needs AND had the NL T-Mobile settings in it
Bluetooth & batterylife are the main benefits

English Customization
I have an I-Mate that I just received 8/3, and have successfully flashed to ROM version 1.72 from Club I-Mate. The question I have goes towards a 2nd, ~6 meg file that I was also supposed to flash on to my I-Mate. Does anyone know what THAT update is supposed to do? I've posted the same question in the Club I-Mate forums, but have not received an answer after two or three days.
The reason I am asking is because my I-Mate seems to be working just fine without the 2nd update, though it does seem to be going through charges quickly, and its radio (phone) reception is poorer that the original XDA I Was using.
Thanks for any information you can provide.

Whether there is already official English version for XDA II

Hello all
Whether there is already official English version for XDA II T-Mobile? Where it is possible to receive a file?
Thanks
:roll:
re ; T-Mobile ROM
as far as i know, "NOT YET"
this is the newest link about T-Mobile ROM, but not official, somebody said this is cooked ROM :

T-Mobile 1.72.xxxWWE to be expected shortly
Currently there are only 1.72.00WWE (wwe=world wide english) roms for iMate and Qtek 2020.
As these device are technically identical to the )2 XDA2 and T-Mobile MDAII you can use those ROM's (with some handwork as explained on this site).
I asked T-Mobile NL about the availability of an official 1.72.00 update. Today T-Mobile stated they expect an update shortly.
This is promising as the T-Mobile NL ROM will definitely be WWE

XDA2 ROM Version?

Latest available on O2 website is 1.60.00WWE is it not?
So what is 1.66.00WWE ???? Came with some XDAs that we received a couple of months ago.
We have "issues" with a 3rd party application and we have 1 unit that is 1.60 & seems problem free, so in the process of elimination..
Can you backwards flash the ROM?
Any issues with 1.66 if known?
Oh & ext ROM is 1.66.181 which is in contravention of website's "latest" version...
Hi Dave
Newer versions of the XDAII contain a different LCD display to the earlier versions. Basically the only difference between 1.60 and 1.66 is that 1.66 contains a display driver for the new LCD panel (plus one or two other small and "non-essential" items like a Cleartype tuner) and as such O2 are not releasing it for public consumption.
The next O2 release will be 1.72 which is due to be released soon and will contain drivers for both types of LCD panel.
Interesting... I currently have the 1.60.00WWE ROM on my XDA 2 and O2 informed me that the version currently available for download is 1.60.50WWE, which incorporates WM2003 Service Pack 1, plus a Java update. They could not tell me what Service Pack 1 added/fixed and also said that if I installed their later version, my phone could become locked again... Now I see that 1.72 is on the way, I think I will wait. Any idea on timing??
Hi cbrow51
All i've been told is 'not long'... tho knowing o2 that doesn't really mean much!
Sorry!

Wich is better (official o2 4.01.12WWE or iMate 1.72)

Wich is better?
The Official o2 4.01.12WWE wich you can found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=10895
or
The Official iMate 1.72WWE wich you can found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=10866
Wich is newer and better?
Thanx
G'Day,
I would like to know which device you own? XDA I or XDAII? Cause I think the 4.01.12WWE is only for XDA I. I don't think you can flash the ROM on the XDAII with this since the hardware is a bit different. If you own the XDAII and you wish to do a ROM upgrade, you can consider to upgrade with the 1.72WWE which should give you better battery life and BT option. However, you will void your manufacturer warranty if you are using different ROM to upgrade the device (pretty much what all manufacturers will say :? ).
Cheers!
AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! im going crazy, i cant decide wheter to upgrade my o21.66wwe to 1.72. i don't know wich ia better of this two version (1.66 and 1.72) What application will be remove i i upgarde my o2 1.66 to 1.72?
upgrade or not...., that's all depends on you!!.
back to 'CLASSIC WORD' :
if you happy & satisfy with your rom !!, why do you upgrade????.
you have the latest rom from O2, upgrade to 1.72 official rom (imate or qtek), you will loose 'auto config' program (gprs must be setup manually) and cannot installed 'O2 CONNECT' (afaik).
but if you decide to upgrade 1.72, try this :

or
wait untill official O2 ASIA 1.72 rom is available.
Can you please list completly the things will be delete in o2 1.66wwe if i installed imate 1.72, please.........
1.....

Dutch T-Mobile Vario - can u please help me with WWE rom?

Hi There,
I am buying a Wizard (MDA Vario) for an Australian friend of mine that's coming over for a visit and naturally she wants the Wizard in English.
However, I can easily (and very cheaply) get the Dutch version from T-Mobile in the Netherlands since I am renewing my partners contract.
So I guess I need to flash a new WWE rom onto the Dutch T-Mobile...
My questions:
I am aware of the WWE I-Mate Rom that you can download from the club I-Mate ftp site.
1. Is this a good rom - and will it work 100% problem free with the Dutch MDA Vario?
2. Are there any other or better alternatives? any links to other roms? maybe a T-Mobile UK rom or QTEK 9100? which WWE rom is considered the most stable and non sluggish?
I appreciate you kind help and effort.
Cheers,
Lisa
Someone here flashed his vario, so it seems to work:
http://www.modaco.com/Wireless_G_problems_with_Vario-t232451.html
That seems to be true...
However, I am wondering if all works correctly after the upgrade - or are there any loose ends - like an application not running? frequent crashes etc...
I can recommend flashing always. But you have to know what you are doing. Furthermore you void your warranty doing this, so you might want to consider that while you have the chance to make a brick out of the vario.
Things like sim unlocking are easy with it so that shouldn't give you a problem.

T-Mobile UK upgrade?

Is there an official Tmobile UK update available for the vario 2? I'm running 1.21.110.3 at the moment...as it was out of the box.
i'm only after an official update, I can't see one on tmphonedownloads.
thanks in advance.
you can always check in the wiki for whatever the current released rom of any operator is. (no is the answer to your question)
No, there is no update. I just got a T-Mobile Vario II but risked it and updated to WM6 (Dark) and it works so much more smoothly than the standard WM5.
Keep watching that download site, there have been a few people on this forum that state they have been told there will be an official release in June....
whether or not this comes to fruition....
[Or just watch this forum, you can be sure it will get lots of shouts when/if it is released.]
Where did you download the wm6 dark form
I've got a t-mobile mda vario 2 and would like to upgarde the rom. Can you please tell me where you downloaded the wm6 (dark) rom from so i can give it a go
