Dear all,
I am currently running ROM V. 3.17.03 and radio stack V. 4.21. and recently contemplating on installing PPC 2003. I have also read tons of unpleasent articles about severe installation failures. Would any of you guys know whether I can re-install my existing rom version in case the installation of the new 2003 version does not work fine. Any other comments concerning this are extremely welcome. Thanks in advance :roll:
I've been back and forth twice now with no problems, however I could not go from PCC2003 to o2's 3.17, said something about authentication, but you can go back to xda dev 1.2 and then, if you wish, install o2's 3.17.
The above was using the Programme A way as I don't (yet) have a card reader.
If you have any concerns I recommend waiting a little while longer till the next version comes out.
My thanks to you York mate
I've also (and a few other friends) managed to go up and down quite a few times without trouble.
Go for it!
2003
i have installed 2003 twice with no trouble i think the secret is to follow the instructions properly.

Poci, you just have to go to the O2 UK site, ->Products and Services, -> xda, and there : Get ROM Upgrade , you follow what they said, and can download both , RUU 3.17.03 and RSU 4.21 ... :wink:

One more concern to you, generous mates. I have read somewhere in this very forum that the units bought in ASIA are not supporting the PPC 2003 due to some differences in their physical designs. Any comments on this. Thanks again in advance.
One more thing: TO Poci: If you prefer the ppc 2003 over the version 3.17.03, you can download the unofficial release at no cost, thanks to our generous friend, Ali. The site ishttp://www.ali.nildram.co.uk/xda/. Cheers
also you can find the ROM at

I have an ASIA unit, running it in Australia fine with the 2003 ROM and 4.21 Radio. I think they are just trying to force people to upgrade to the new XDA II when it comes out.
Jeffrey
Hi again
Problems seem to come and go at their own will. Great news is I have successfully installed the ppc 2003 while the worst news is that I just discovered that my newly and expensively bought external keyboard ceased to funtion since the driver installation indicated versions incompatibility. Any suggestion on the keyboard driver version that could do with the ppc 2003? Anyone? please suggest.

and it will not connect.

Seal,

Jeff
I just phoned Vodafone and yes as read in this forum " Check that GPRS is active on account" my GPRS is not active. No reason from network why it was turned off, just THEY DON NOT KNOW.
No wonder I couldn't connect........
Vodafone is working on it as I type, will let you know......

Hi,
Is this a UK ROM Version of the XDA II ?
Thanks

I had no idea but I guess it is as it comes from SourceO2...
It's the same link to download 1.72.181
http://www.sourceo2.com/O2_Developers/Devices/O2_Xda_II/Xda_update.htm
You will find the link to download 1.72.181...
http://64.244.24.19/xda/Xda_II_172181_Final.exe
Do you pick only one of the two, off to read PDF's.
Here are the answers from the PDF's...
181 will disconnect any connection when phone rings, except the Blackberry, Mobile Web and WAP connections. If you need to use a permanent GPRS connection that will remain connected when phone is used, you should use 187 version.
Also, there are additional apps available for download as well (same page).
1. KSE Truefax
2. Fonix Voice Dial
3. ZIP Manager
This is the GERman update, AFAIK...
Could anybody provide the username and password for www.SourceO2.com website for downloading this updates, please? Thank you.
Country Error? I had prviously the XDA-Devel. 1.72 installed
Any ideas how to fix this butg? OUch, just upgraded last week to the xda-develpers 1.72, and now want this new o2 one, ouch!
Should be working normally...

You can register a username for free on the O2 site, and get a password mailed to you. You will then be able to download the files.
Ha, cool! Thanks. I thought is dependent on using O2 device (check on IMEI)...
Hm... I'm registred, but my credentials are not working...
You can follow the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=63862#63862 to get the upgrade working. mine is at 38% updated and I should be done in about an hour or so.
The extra applications file is attached to this post for simplicity...

Check my post here. My guess is your previous upgrade set your operator in the device to a non-O2 value.

A release from O2Asia is expected. O2Asia usually follows about a week after O2UK, I think.
Hi folks,
I have an i-mate with the following specs:
ROM : 1.72.00WWE
Radio : 1.14.00
Protocol : 1337.24
Ext ROM : 1.72.800
After going through the numerous posts here, I am thoroughly confused. Can someone please clarify the following:
1. Is is better to upgrade to the new O2 ROM? If so which one, since I understand there are 2 versions.
2. If I do upgrade, there seems to be something called O2 active. Would this or any other settings hamper the usage of my phone since I live in India?
3. Can I have the procedure to do this upgrade?
My humble apologies if some of these questions have been answered before, but frankly, I am completely lost! :? Thanks a ton in advance.
Cheers!
Lakshman
Lakshman,
Will try to help you out once by compiling everthing from other threads:
1) There are 2 versions: (thanks to Nighthawk)
- v1.72.187 does not have Blackberry software built in. If you need to use a permanent GPRS connection that will remain connected when phone is used, you should use 187 version.
- v1.72.181 features Blackberry, will disconnect any connection when phone rings, except the Blackberry, Mobile Web and WAP connections. But so far haven't heard of any non UK O2 users able to use the Blackberry.
2) About 02 Active, i find it pretty but useless to non UK 02 users; therefore, once you upgraded your ROM it will prompt you for O2 Active Settings like Country, GPRS or GSM, just hit 'Cancel' and it won't install the GRPS or other network settings. You can still use the O2 Active but a lot of function will not be available for use in India. I removed mine.
3) Not too sure if your unit is CDL or O2 (info from HimaGetDeviceData.exe) but my upgrade was no issue at all; i just download from http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12515 and ran the upgrade. If you encounter country ID error, then you would have to refer to DCS's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12101
Hope this helps.

You mean I canot use my GPRS after cancelling and what other network settings are you referring to?
Can you elaborate? Thanks
:roll:
RE
Hi Lazzy,
Thanks to your input, I went through the upgrade successfully. Many thanks to DCS for his excellent step-by-step guide to fix country id errors.
I am now facing a curious problem. I downloaded the Appsuite for XDA II provided in one of the forums here. When I try to install the utilities I get an error on my PPC saying could not install, "please upgrade your ROM and try again!" But I believe I have the latest ROM now. Could someone please advise. :?

We are trying to sort this one out Hopefully someone will come up with an answer soon.
Hi guys,
thanks for running an awsom website...
I just want some clarification on this thread.
So it is okay to upgrade an i-mate with an O2 Rom such as v1.72.181 and is this the best ROM for devices such as the I-mate currently?
Anyone? please answer my previous question as I really want to upgrade...
bump..
As for the os and radio you can use any 1.72 / 1.17 rom.
The differencen between al the roms is in the extended rom and thus just a matter of functionality you want : choose anyone you like and use dcs' guide to upgrade.
thanks man, I appreciate it.
Re: RE live in Dubai - UAE, can I upgrade with this ROM
I live in Dubai UAE, can I upgrade my Imate with this ROM
Hi All
I have original Australian O2 ROM:
ROM Version: 1.66.00WWE
ROM Date: 02/20/04
Radio Version: 1.08.00
Protocol Version: 1337.18
ExtROM Version: 1.66.165
I also use the O2 Bluetooth head set which I would also like to keep using (I've noticed a few people having issues with some ROM upgrade versions)
Please could someone send me a link where I can download the most stable/updated ROM for my Australian XDA II.
Sorry for asking for links but I am so confused when trying to search for this, I never know what one to use and there are so many around.
I would also like to (IF POSSIBLE) get an upgrade ROM that is automated like O2 original ROM's, one EXE that extracts and does it all for you... no commands or lots of text to read though and try and work out how to do it all....
MANY THANKS!!!!!
Hope someone can help me out!

Best thing would be to download the UK one for Xda II, hack the device_ID on yours to make it look like a UK one.,,,,,
Thanks for the reply Southern_Man.
Does the UK one have the settings and profiles for Telstra Settings and all. Eg. When you do a hard reset it askes you to select your phone provider to set up the settings for that provider. I would have though it would have only had UK telco's as mine only seems to have Australian ones?
Does any one else have an easy upgrade path for the O2 XDAII for either Win2003 or Win2003SE... but I am looking for a stable version where every thing works that should... EG. Alarms, Bluetooth headset, Bluetooth GPS, Phone...etc..etc
Many thanks guys!

You're right, it only has the O2 UK settings. But imate have published a list of config cabs for most carriers which you can download and use.
Read the site, update your xda ii, open the extended rom (bit like a small hard disk) and load your own settings in.
You'll get a great deal of satisfaction, and a new way of using your gadget...
Hi Southern_Man
Thanks oncea again for the fast reply.
This version you are talking about I'm asuming it is Win2003 (same as the one I have currently?) is ther much diference that you know of?
Also where can I download all the required software (Rom, ID changer, Config Cabs..etc..etc) and instructions on how to get it all done?
In your opinion do you think it's worth the effort (as it is the same OS version? I am unsure what they have fixed etc..etc)
Thanks once again for your efforts.. Sorry I'm just not into the pocketPC stuff as much at the moment and I use it every day so don't want to stuff any thing up... want to double and triple check before I do any thing

ROM Upgrade
Downloaded the UK version and upgraded to 1.72.181 with no problems. Has been working fine and solved the SMS problem but still have Notes that won't open.
With the download all I needed to do was input the Imei number and it downloaded fine. Got it from the UK XDA site.
On flashing it did report one problem and then suggested that I disconnect, reconnect the device and try again. That was successful.
I can recommend this for anyone in Australia so far. :wink: The configuration to GPRS is different as autoconfig is removed but that was pretty simple really.
Also got the application updates from the site and found the voice dialler to be great so far. Fax facility not much use unless you're happy to pay all the fees to optus for the service.
Will consider the extended ROM upgrade to higher versions to see if I can solve the notes problem or may use the ROM unlocker to copy another file from an uncorrupted device.
Telstra config
The UK version was easily able to sort out the optus stuff and search for the network. I'm pretty sure it will do the telstra stuff no probs. Thats version 1.72.181 I'll check it right now to see although I don't have a telstra sim card....No Problems! Go to phone , options, network, click on manual selection, it will then search for all available networks and will pick up optus, telstra and vodaphone AU with no problems. No point in stuffing around with all the technical stuff!
Hi fairchiro
Thanks for the reply.
I have just tried to download the updates but it says my IME number is not valid or has already been registerd? I have registered it on MyXDA.com when I purchased the phone a few years ago, could this be my problem?
Do you know where else I can get a copy of this ROM? Also what is the Extended ROM update do? I though the updates updated every thing? (Eg. Radio, Extended, Rom...etc..etc) If not is there a copy of the ROM that updates all software on the PDA?
Also does any one know what is diferent between the UK and Australian version I am currently running?
I have original Australian O2 ROM:
ROM Version: 1.66.00WWE
ROM Date: 02/20/04
Radio Version: 1.08.00
Protocol Version: 1337.18
ExtROM Version: 1.66.165
Is there much point is just upgrading the ROM version if the others are also not updated?
Does this update fix or have a better battery life (when using bluetooth for example?)
Many thanks once again!
:lol:

Hi Guys, also been reading around I'm not too sure what the diferences are between the two versions (Eg. Version I have and the UK updated version)...
Would it be better for me looking at upgrading to Win2003SE as there seems to be a few more features it offers? If so what is the best and esiest upgrade path to take... and the most stable (stability is what I am looking for!)

Microsoft seem to have a fairly consistent model, whereby it takes them 3-4 attempts to release a decent build of anything. AKU2 is their 3rd go at WM2003SE, and is actually pretty good. Fast, good battery and so on. Worth it for speed and stability.
When they are at AKU2 on Magneto, supposedly in the new year, then all those Windows Mobile 5 devices will be worth looking at (and cheaper too)
ROM Upgrades
Hi Fudgebum....sorry, bottom.
I don't think that the previous registration of your IMEI at myxda will be a problem because mine was registered there also.
The 1.72.181 upgrade will update your ROM, radio, and Extended ROM all at the same time.
Don't quote me on this but, I get the understanding that the extended ROM is one that is not quite essential to the basic running of the PDA. In other words you can play with it so that certain programs are included and certain ones are not. Hey but I'm still learning about all this stuff too. In this forum lots of guys, especially "zero" or is it "extremezero" or similar, seem to cook up their own versions of the extended ROM for personalizing aspects of the pda operation and available applications.
If you want to send me a personal message (see PM's above) then I can post you a cd with the ROM update on it or you should be able to download it at the UK site . Can't understand why you can't as long as you can input an IMEI. :?
Good Luck
Hello,
I am new here. I am looking for a GERMAN ROM that supports WPA2.
Useing the wiki I can say, my Qtek S200 is a G4 and uses this ROM:
RUU_Prophet_2090732_20907115_020720_QtekGER_Ship.exe
I also tried to register at myqtek.com, but they don't accept my IMEI. Don't know why because it's a original Qtek phone. So I have to look somewhere else for support.
I also found this ROMs:
RUU_Prophet_220739_2207119_021921_QTEK_GER_Ship_NO_IPL_SPL.exe
RUU_Prophet_220739_2207119_024721_QTEK_GER_Ship.exe
RUU_Prophet_215742_2157131_023021_QtekGER_Ship.exe
But I don't know the differences and what "no IPL SPL" means.
A friend of mine got the Wizard and told me that I can also use a ROM from Tmobile, O2 or Vodafone and just skip the installing of the branding software and just update WinMobile.
So I found these ROMs:
Xda neo: Version 215447 2154140 021921 and
Xda neo Race Edition: Version 215448 2154141 021921
Thus I don't want to kill my device I hope you can help me what to do.
Thank you!
hey what is WPA2? i am just curious.. i have a feeling it has soemthing to do with sound quality of conversations or listening to music on speaker or somethingg.. am i right? please tell me what it is.. i can try searching for help on wpa2 in this forums then.. thanks
WPA2 is a WLAN encryption standard. like WEP, WPA, WPA2
I need it for our wireless LAN access at university.
The newer ROMs of WinMobile 5 and all WinMobil6 Versions support this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308985
German WM6 Beta
I think you should flash a WWE WM 6 Rom. It`s much better. No bugs.
I would prefere an official german WinMobile 5
There is no official German WM5 ROM with WPA2 support.
also O2 or TMobile doesn't offer a fitting ROM?
I don't know what features these O2 ROMs offer:
Xda neo: Version 215447 2154140 021921 and
Xda neo Race Edition: Version 215448 2154141 021921
o2 have no wpa2.
T-Mobile also.
Both Rom are AKU 2.15
a friend of mine got a wizard and a just released ROM update from TMobile including WPA2 support, so I hope there will be an update for my prophet too. perhaps in some weeks.
T-COM in Germany sales an Prophet G4 (TC500) with Support of WEB,WPA and WPA2 !
I have uploaded the Extended ROM ! But i can't backup the hole OS ! Does anybody know how to backup the os ???
If it will be possible i will upload it !
Here is the link for extended ROM TC500 T-COM
http://rapidshare.com/files/43219818/ext_rom_tcom_TC500.zip
Hi,
I just bricked my Prophet G4 (TC500) device and I guess that only original German ROM can save me.
So if you have any TC500 ROM and can send it to me, you are my hero.
About the backuping the whole OS - have you tried the procedure described on HTC_Prophet page:
How to backup and restore your ROM to/from SD Card (ROM Dump): http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_Rom_Dump
There are also other ways to dump rom... just let us know if this one doesnt work.
Have a nice time,
