O2 now have release an official update for all the Asia O2 user, you can download from O2 official website now. 1.60WWE and Java.
Do you have the exact URL. O2's site is NOT the most user friendly site to search for stuff. Thanks
You must go to the www.myxda.com then login then you can download the update. before that you must registed with O2 on the website then only you can login. I have update and work perfectly. Radio version 1.08 and the extended ROM 1.06.
Sorry man for sounding so thick, I did login, but for the life of me, I still could not locate where the file is. Perhaps I'm just blind
Thanks
Sorry got it. It's after you login, there's an arrow to the right of the screen. Click that and presto it's there. Gosh, I swear I didn't see that earlier.
can some one post the file here pleaseeee.... , i got my xda in hong kong i can't download the english version for O2 ASIA.
thanks in advance
Thanks very much Terence
I am a registered user but O2 didn't send me any notification to upgrade the ROM. May be they are worried about the internet traffic.
Anyway, thanks!!!
Cheers
nevermind, i got the file already thanks for the info anyway
I got the english upgrade, where can I upload it?
Moreover, anyone got the chinese version?
This is a real disappointment as some of us are already using the 1.60 (ExtROM 1.60.23) with Radio Version 1.80 and we're still facing the GSM problems like network dead with no notification ... etc. And this official release of ExtROM 1.60.44 seems to have the same Radio version, I guess the GSM problems are still not completely solved yet. And of course, no mentioning of bluetooth OBEX profile or handsfree profiel ?
Dear all,
Does anyone know how to backup the SMS database and restore after a hard reset? Thanks.
You can use Sprite Bakcup to backup SMS messages.
here it is .
Mates, this upgrade brought me close to a heart attack... :shock: started it and everything ran fine for 5 minutes... then it just stopped, informed me that the process died and asked me to perform a soft reset... :shock: since that didn't work anymore (obviously the delete of the current ROM already did something)... I stood there wondering... :shock: even a hard reset didn't do any good and just showed me some text on the screen... :shock:
After probably 12 cigarettes in 5 minutes, a restart of the PC and another hard reset at the XDAII which also left me with just the text message I tried it again... running now for about 30 minutes and being half through step 2 "Upgrading ROM image"... keep my fingers crossed...
Chris,
Reading the previous post and the revision history on the sprite website does not give me the confidence. Most report that after a restore the SMS is rendered incapable of receiving message. I have one chance to backup before hard reset upon upgrading the firmware. So I can't just take that risk. Thanks.
Regards,
Kueh.
Mine took about 60 minutes to install.
Everything seems fine, apart from the MMS composer will not load up, perhaps because I copied my old 'My Documents' folder back to the newly imaged Xda II.

If you have upgraded the O2 Asian ROM, can you please post its ExtROM version?
My friend has upgraded it but he said his ExtROM is still 1.60.23 and not 1.60.44 as claimed.
I am having 1.60.23 as well, that's why I am holding my horse as I see no difference or improvement from my current ROM.

same to me chris.
i was so disappointed when i saw the official ROM is 1.60WWE.
guess we'll wait and see how this new ROM works and see whether is there any difference with our current 1.60WWE.
CONNED !!!

Having found the excellent walk-through post on how to amend the nbf files so that the correct country code is set, allowing you to change ROMs to a none country ROM, I set about to try it.
And in fact, changing the files, and re-packing them, was not too bad.
Then I ran the upgrade program for the M1000 Orange Dutch (but WWE version) ROM, on my UK O2 XDA2.
And lo and behold, it no longer failed the country check, and proceeded to upgrade!
It managed to erase the current ROM no problem...
Then it started to install the new ROM...
And it got right up to a lovely 99%, and then hung for a while, before the installer program coming back with an Upgrade Failed error, and telling me to soft re-boot and try again.
Soft re-booting brought up the O2 'water' boot image, but with the ROM details etc re-written for the new verison 1.66 instead of 1.60 - but no backlight would come on, and it wouldn't get any further than this.
I had to go into Bootloader mode, to get it to try again.
And after three attempts, it ALWAYS fails at 99% of the ROM install.
So, does anyone have any ideas?
In the meantime, I am back to my O2 ROM, but I was led to beleive, from the tutorial, that ANY ROM could be used, as long as they were meant for a Himalaya device.
So, why does the Orange M1000 Dutch WWE 1.66 ROM, always fail at 99% when run on a UK O2 XDA2 1.60 WWE?
Anyone?
i think that other have don it without failure
could it be the file you downloaded which is a bit corrupt ?
try downloading it again
Sorry for the offtopic question but where did ya get the Orange Dutch rom?
I really would like to get that one...
Cheers
Panja
maybe dutch == danish
both starts with d and ends with h could be a mistake
from what i know the danish orange rom is the only one out yet but of cause i could be wrong
That would be the answer yes...
I am Dutch and check Orange once and a while and for as far as I know the m1000 isn't even released in Holland...
I just rang Orange because I can't get GPRS to work and I told them I have a XDA II, same as the m1000. But they couldn't help me because they don't have any settings for the m1000 yet...
Pretty g*y they couldn't help me
well what you need is really only access point
and depending on orange login and pass
Oops.
I meant Danish.
Second time I have done that this week.
Copenhaagen and Eindhoven - it's becuase they are so close together maybe *lol* ;-)
Rudegar, any ideas who the users were that got it to work, so I can ask them for the patched ROM files and try that?

I got it to work!
Just download the update from the Danish Orange site.

I do what exactly?
If left as is, it won't work, as it fails the country check (er remember, it's a UK O2 XDA2 I'm trying to install it on here).
On the other hand, if I use xdatools to alter the nbf file, it allows me to run the install, but constantly fails the process at 99% of the first ROM install...
So, any ideas?
What device did you install it on?
i think he followed this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=8205
That's the very one I refer to earlier, that taught me how to change the country info.
The install fails on 99% though.
So Panja, have you got your extracted files to share if you put it on an XDA2 O2 as well?
Well I've downloaded the ROM upgrade again, and worked through the tutorial steps to change the device settings.
Can I just check something...
I currently have an O2 XDA2, and I am upgrading it with an Orange ROM.
When I enter the device settings, it IS "PH10 O2" I enter as the settings, NOT PH10 Orange, as I want the device to end up as it were. I do enter the device's EXISTING settings Panja, yes?
That's what I have done anyway - entered PH10 O2, so as I speak, it is busy wiping the ROM from the device, connected to my other PC.
I'll be sure to post back here if I manage to get past the 99% new ROM install this time, with a new ROM download, and a new attempt at altering the nbf files...
Wish me luck folks.
NEVER one to tempt the hand of fate, so I will start by saying it's not finished YET...
But it passed the ROM update ok, and now is onto the Extended ROM.
Keep wishing me luck folks...
Weh hey!
Nice new Orange XDA2, if I say so myself.
It looks a bit better, the proper Windows Mobile Boot Screen, than an O2 one, especially with an Orange SIM in...
So now I've saved the amended .nbf files on my PC, so that if needs be and a re-upgrade is needed, I can just run the installer, then delete the real nbf files and replace with my altered ones.
It's just busy doing a Sprite backup restore now - quality. Thanks everyone!
I'll repost back with my experiences of reliability and speed soon if I notice anything untoward...
Oh blast...
I've noticed something straight away...
The new implementation of Cleartype is TERRIBLE.
I can see blue edging to letters all over the place as it attempts to anti-aliase the font.
Previously with the O2 ROM and Cleartype, the letters were smooth, but black throughout...
I seriously think I will either have to forego using Cleartype, or do a ROM re-upgrade back to O2 at this rate.
Thanks for nothing Orange...
After all that, going back to O2 ROM.
Cleartype as per Orange's idea of it, is terrible. Blue all over black text, yellow on the white menu text, and sore eyes all round.
DOH
So now I have to go through it all over again to change the Country Code, to get the O2 ROM back on...
Great...
Sorry I couldn't help ya in time.
I'm sick @ home and didn't check the board till now...
Nice you got it finally to work.
Cheers
Panja,
Did you find the Cleartype as per the Orange ROM, to be unreadable, and full of colour cast?
Also, now that I have gone back to the O2 ROM becuase of the terrible Cleartype with the Orange ROM, do you know if you can just do an Upgrade whereby you only install the Orange EXTENDED ROM onto the O2 current ROM?
I have both ICQ and Messenger, if this is better for you...
I didnt use the cleartype on the Orange rom.
I swapped the Orange rom for the QTek rom.
Happy with the Qtek to be honist...
my first post and contribution.. hopefully it would be alot of help to other people..
this is the official IMATE 1.72 ROM...except that it was encoded to work with O2 XDA2 units
added the O2 splash screen to retain the O2 bootup image -just load O2.cab into your XDA2
the upgrade utility shouldnt show you any more country ID error for O2 XDA2 units.. if there are problems.. holler me ASAP!!
feedbacks would be nice, coz i would like to make upgrades for other Network providers as well..
Thanks for that.
Can you show me a step by step guide on how to upgrade O2 xda 2 1.60.WWE version to this?
Thanks again.
ok... im not an expert yet, coz i just had my XDA2 for a week, but i do enjoy tweaking and playing with it.. besides, the knowledge i gain thru reading this forum is more than enough..
ok.. here goes..
1. create a full BACKUP your XDA2.. (but i dunno if this is helpful should you fail to upgrade your ROM)
2. download the above file and extract it.
3. you should see it extract 7 files.
4. put your xda2 in the cradle connected to the PC
5. run HimaUpgradeUt.exe
6. wait around 30-60 mins. then follow the procedure as shown on your computer. (a hard reset would be required)
7. after the upgrade is done, you should see the IMATE screen upon booting up (instead of the O2 bubble screen) if you wanne be extra sure, check your XDA2 version.if everything is ok, then you should have upgraded it correctly
8. if you want to revert to the old O2 splash screen during bootup, then copy O2.cab to your XDA2 and run it there. Do a soft reset, and voila, it should be back to the old O2 bootscreen.
I suggest that you contact your NETWORK PROVIDER because you will need to manually configure GPRS, MMS, and INTERNET settings on your xda2 after doing the upgrade.
WARNING: i wont be held responsible or liable for failed upgrade of your unit. Please understand that by agreeing to upgrade your XDA2, you are taking full responsibility of whatever untoward incidents that may occur to your XDA2. Flashing the rom might lead to DATA LOSS, SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, and even DEVICE MALFUNCTION.
but.. the rewards of upgrading it is sweet!
Many thanks for all of these description.
BTW, how do you feel the upgrade?
What you really get from this?
Can you share with us?
Thanks again.
Cheers mate.
i dunno, im just a week old newbie in using XDA2 :wink:
i just enjoy tweaking the XDA..so far, no problems here.
My xda2 currently is 1.66wwe. after upgrade to 1.72wwe, what's the different between it? anything increase? sorry because i'm a new bird
did a lil research.. so far, came to this...
The 1.72 ROM eliminates the majority of problems from the 1.66 ROM such as:
Increased battery drain
Device slows down
Bluetooth GPS devices don't work, even with Pocket Bluetooth Tools
Can it be downgraded back to O2 xda2 1.60WWE Rom?
Many thanks.
i doubt that it can be downgraded... i havent personally tried to downgrade my ROM to a lower version.. but there are other threads related to this, and they claim that when they tried downgrading their ROMS, their XDA2 died....
you can try searching for other topics if there are information about downgrading... .so far, i dont have any problems with my 1.72 ROM...
except that there is no running program application which enables me to switch off any running program in the background.. but i easily remedied it by downloading TASKMANAGER.... its quite the same with running programs...other than that, so far, so good.

Hi,
after running HimaUpgradeUt.exe I get the message:
Error 121 Language ID Error (N-2-1-0-1), the ROM image that you are trying to use is not designed to work with your Pocket PC.
I ran ERedit2003 Version 1.2.20 and opened the file ms_.nbf using the password 0x20040305. I saved the file with the different language settings WWE, ENG and GER. Always the problem remains the same.
My XDA2 currently has ROM 1.66.01GER.
Thanks for help.
try to change the operator name , too! or use other hymalaya upgrade files, from other roms!

Help for beginners: upgrading O2 Xda II to ROM 1.72
New to Forum-sorry to be slow on the uptake. I am trying to undersand how to upgrade O2 Xda II (ExROM 160.50) to ROM 1.72 without losing the machine. Waxx says you need to reconfigure the ISP settings (I assume because they are lost in the upgrade). I cannot find O2 settings for GPRS Interenet and MMS on the net. Talking to O2 is a waste of time.
Does anyone have a step by step description that results in ROM 1.72/Radio 1.18 (or lower if 1.18 still in beta) working on O2 Xda II?
Has anyone reported doing it sucessfully. Have non recoverable failures been reported?
RamyG
Just copy the attached CAB file across to say, My Documents on your XDA, and run it via FileManager.
It will customise your O2 XDA II with all the correct settings.
Once it has done that (and you've tested it works), just uninstall the O2 Active bit and your settings will remain (well they did on mine)
BTW - I upgraded to the new ROM, and have had no problems at all ! Very sweet
Mark
Thnx Mark, just to make sure before I jump in: the steps are:
(1) upgrade to 1.72 using Waxx's attachement (is that the file you used?) (2) follow the procedure you described and I will get O2 customised Xda II (same as where I started) but with ROM1.72 and later Radio Stack. Right?
2 questions:
(a) are the GPRS setting for MOBILE WEB (post paid)
(b) what benefits should I expect from the upgrade? (other than the satisfaction that it succeeded, l if it works?
thnx
RamyG
Yep I used the attachment from Waxx ...
The procedure you mentioned is correct ... I did have a few heart stopping moments after the upgrade because (like you) I couldn't find the necessary settings for GPRS etc .. but the O2 cab file re-installs everything back to what it should be for the UK.
You are prompted to choose relevant settings - in this case you get a choice from either post-paid (MobileWeb) or PrePay ...
As for benefits, people are reporting better bluetooth support, and better battery life. Only upgraded mine yesterday, so can't comment on either yet !
HTH

Has anyone else had problems charging overnight with the ROM version?
Got Error 120: Country ID error N-8-1-1-1
Hi all,
I am new member here. I did upgrade to ROM 1.72WWE and seems working fine. Because the PDA is idle, I try to roll back to ROM 1.60.44 eng. and got the country id error N-8-1-1-1. I tried to set the regional to English (UK) and English (US) but failed. Any comment? My XDAII is bought from Asia-HK. Thanks a lot.
Chris
Mark thnx for your help. For all those undecided souls I can report that Waxx's ROM 172 upgrade works fine for O2 Xda II. (BTW: it takes 3 times as long to upgrade as they say it does - it's 30 min for each of ROM ExROM and Radio modules).
Mark, O2.cab did not work as exepcted for some reason. When I ran it, it simple created a text file with O2 network config info and did not actually configure the Xda II. The info was correct and a manual config worked first time. Puzzled, I ran the O2 cab again but from another directory. This time I got the O2 spiral (I may have gotten the network configed again I can't know as I had previously configured it manually . The upgrade did lose the O2 dialer screen and reverted to the iMATE one. This is trivial. the Net is full of free attractive skins. e.g http://sourceforge.net/projects/pocketpc-apps/
Mark Peters- I thank you again.

Hi
Ive just been on teh orange site, and I see there is a new ROM available http://web.orange.co.uk/story/sm_1047574.html
The new version has an operator version 3.661.230 (MMS version). But my SPV does not seem to have an operator version
Currently I'm running:-
Rom version 1.60.00WWE
Rom date 12/03/03
Radio version: 1.10.00
Protocol version: 1337.18
ExtROM version: 1.60.38
Is it worth upgrading?how will I benifit?
Cheers
JustinP
Hi,
Checked out the new upgrade from Orange and it works perfectly on my SPV M1000.
The benfits of upgrading are that you will be able to send MMS messages from your phone without having to configure everything yourself (which I had to do!)
The other benefits (apparently) are better radio and GPRS, but I haven't noticed any difference yet.
Also, while I was upgrading, I had a message saying there was a problem and to start again. Don't worry if this happens as I reconnected the phone and it installed fine.
Hope this helps!
Thank you!
First of all THANK YOU justinp for spotting this and sharing it with us!
I've also been calling Orange trying to find out about updates, but unfortunatly with no success.
Second to all:
a) I share justinp question, but my setup is a bit older:
Currently I'm running:-
Rom version 1.52.00WWE
Rom date 10/23/03
Radio version: 1.05.16
Protocol version: 1337.16
ExtROM version: 1.52.56
I could not find anything looking like the 3.661.230 where they indicated it.
b) Once I am going through the asshole of a a ROM upgrade, are there real advantage in going for the imate 1.72 update and going through a slightly more complicated procedure?
Just to put into context I already have installed thanks to this forum an SMS SW version I am happy with and I want to buy a BT GPS in the next two month so if you know for sure that it is not going to work either with my ROM or the new one from Orange please let me know!!!
THANKS!

Orange M1000 Upgrade ROM Thur 12th Aug 2004... Problem
Hi,
I upgraded my ROM to the latest from Orange UK and my bluetooth headset (Logitech) paired OK and I can hear the people talking, but they CAN'T hear me!
Anyone had this type of problem before? I have used the MMS version. Today I will try the NON-MMS version and see if that allows 2 way communication via Bluetooth
Thanks

I just upgraded my ROM and now I cant see the STORAGE folder. Anyone else have this issue?
Storage folder missing
I too upgraded my M1000 and when I did a restore from Sprite - It too made my storage and storage card disappear. In the end I just did a hard reset and manually installed my programs and did not do a restore.

Hi,
You say you have problems with the Storage/Storage card going missing - when you performed the upgrade, were these still visible until you restored things with Sprite because this might be the problem if you are restoring an old configuration with an updated ROM.
I haven't tried my phone with a Bluetooth headset, I got the MMS version, will let you know if I have the same problem, but everything is working fine on mine at the moment.
Hi
I have installed the upgrade, everything works as well as it did before, time will tell if there are any improvements.
After an upgrade dont do a restore as the old backup is not compatible with the new OS. Its just the way PPCs work. I'm afraid you need to re-install everything from scratch, it too me about 4 hours, but its done know.
Cheers

Just tried this update and received an error message.
Took the phone out of the craddle and performed a soft reset..
Screen still says "Serial V1. 03"
I cannot get it to do anything.
How do you perform a hard reset? Have tried pressing reset button with no battery (battery catch up and down) and tried letting the case touch the pins on the phone which can reset it.
TRULY HELP!!! PLEASE PLEASE HELP (please!)
With thanks
Dave.
yep ive just done the same,
yep ive just done the same, been trying for 1 hour now to get it running but no luck.
just spent an hour on to orange trying to explain the phone now neads replacing but they cannot send out till tomorrow.
lets hope it has the new rom installled or i may be in the same boat tomorrow
It now works!!! PHEW!!
Tried the hard reset & nothing happens.
What I did was hard reset then tried the update again... software now tells me that phone is now not compatible with the update.
I then repeated the above 17 panic-stricken times (both reset then update) and eventually it started the update process. Has now finally completed.
I was so worried!
GRPS is still flaky and still waiting for the MMS message sent to myself to go through (a bit slow).
Quick question for those who have updated
Hi!
Could any of you that have done the update please tell me what ROM version do you get after the update? 1.52, 1.60, the last 1.72?
Have u noticed any improvement with the use of BT (expecially with GPS).
Thanks!
Chris
After the update you will get
Rom version 1.66.00WWE
Rom date 02/20/04
Radio version: 1.10.00
Protocol version: 1337.18
ExtROM version: 1.66.230
So far I see no imporvements

Hard reset ???
I also upgraded my SPV with this ROM with MMS. I found no improvements, but 1 major problem. Sometimes the SPV is in suspend mode, i wait for several of minutes and want to push the power button, the device doesnt seem to react. Putting in the cradle isnt working also and taking the battery out and in again is also a failure. So the only sollution is to hard reset the m1000. Since the upgrade (2 weeks ago) i performed 2 hard resets. You guys also got the same problem? Or do you know how to fix this? I tried to upgrade my orange rom to the original Qtek 1.72 rom, but i got a message 120: error country code. So any ideas?

Update did not work
Hi all,
I just tried to use this update however it did not work. It said something about invalid operator?? It is an Orange M3100...
Any tips?
Dave
It is the WWE update from orange; if you have a bootloader >=1.06 it will only setup on a device having a CID matching ORANGE_001 or something like that. As far as I know there are different CID for each contry, an french device will have something like Orange_203 for CID.
Upgraded ok on an M3100. - Mine was unlocked with imei-check v3 so my CID was 0 anyway, but I suspect it would have been fine.
Versions are now:
Operator version: 14.123.10.702
ROM Version: 1.23.70.2
ROM Date: 08/14/06
Radio version: 1.06.04.00
Protocol version: 32.37.7010.01H
OS Build: 14955.2.3.0
It left my bootloader at version 1.04 (possibly this could be handy for people with M3100s who have tried to install an image with bootloader v1.06?)
Interestingly though it set my CID back to HTCSORANG001 and set my privilege level back to FF, however the phone remained SIM-unlocked. I switched to a T-Mobile SIM (I have a dual-sim adaptor) and it worked fine.
Re-run imei-check v3 and it set my CID to SuperCID and priv level to 0 again.
Seems fine so far. Of course it's only been up 10 mins....
I CANT SEEM TO FIND THE ROM!~~
any links
thanks
It's still in Hermes uploads. I don't feel confident enough in it just yet to update the wiki; let's get some confirmation that it's ok.
It appears to originate from Romania btw. When I installed it my regional settings were Romanian and the PIE favourites had Romanian sites in them. Seems to work fine in English though; I had to go hunting to figure out where it was from.
I've re-installed most of my stuff now. No apparent probs so far.
Ok got everything re-installed.
Syncing mail, calendar & contacts OK. PhoneAlarm working OK. Resco Explorer OK. Tried a couple of games OK. TomTom OK. Phone calls OK. Connected to GPRS & Wi-Fi OK. Browsed the internet ok. Java apps OK. Camera OK. Citrix apps OK.
Only difference I've noticed so far is it's been trying to connect to Orange GPRS in preference to Wi-Fi. I just deleted my Orange GPRS settings, since I use my T-Mobile sim for GPRS, so that's fixed.
Updated the Hermes Upgrading wiki, although link for file is to Hermes Uploads.
Pof, I think you can move the file to Shipped_Complete_Updates, when you're ready.
I can confirm that this Rom works an absolute treat. Does appear to be Romainian as the Time zone is set there.
Updated my phone several weeks ago to an Imate Rom, which worked ok but didn't really solve the problems I was having (namely bluetooth). Now have an Orange Rom again so at least I can get the phone swapped by Orange again if I ever knacker it.
Well done one and all for finding this Rom
Is it faster/more stable?
What other improvements?
Does it have MSN Messenger on it?
I can't really say I've noticed it being particularly faster. I seem to have less problems with my Dual-SIM adaptor, but that may be coincidence. Apart from that, it seems pretty much the same.
One hiccup to watch out for; the MMS settings default to using a Romanian server, so if you use this you may need to go to Inbox > Menu > Tools > Options > MMS > Servers and change the settings on the MMS server.
No MSN Messenger. I don't use this, but isn't there an install file for it floating around somewhere?
I had a play with IM, and Agile messenger or IM+ seemed quite good if I remember rightly.
couple of things with the rom:
i had it for 2 days then flashed teh imate telstra rom again due to :
1)the phone got hung several times a day , requiring soft resets
2)it went to sleep mode and didnt wake up by pressing the power button .. again had to soft reset
3)didnt work very with wizbar adv 2
so i went back to imate telstra rom which works flawlessly on my jasjam
also i had no problems like above with any of the other roms (tytn,dopod,cingular) only with this rom!!

You, discriminator! ...Kidding. Maybe this happens due to the fact that this ROM was meant to work on European networks. It might have some radio incompatibilities with the US networks. Try to separately install the latest Cingular radio (it is available on the xda ftp). I may be wrong about the above said, but in Romania this ROM works flawlessly...
yeah i guess so... will try later..
i used to love orange roms.. due to their very nice and easy to navigate today app..but man in this rom the background totally sucks!!!

Sorry for the delay, I was on vacation the last week without internet connection
The file is now on Shipped_Complete_Updates:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_Updates/HER_ORRO_123702_1060400_WWE_SHIP.exe
I also changed the wiki info because the CID was incorrect, it is ORANG008 (Orange Romania).

I am having the same issues with the phone getting hung..or won't come from sleep mode. I am rocking the cingular 1.31 rom.
Hi Guys
I have just noticed that there is new ROM published on www.clubimate.com today.
As far as i understand it is the same OS version as installed on all JASJAMs sold by Telstra, but just with new radio and maybe new extROM ?
What i dont understand is why it says 1.38.30.10 instead of 1.38.00.10 ?
Maybe some additional customizations for their NextG network ?
Here is the link:
ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/i-mate_JASJAM_telstra_1.31.305.2_106_6275_1.38.30.10_108_ship.zip
Hey, good find!
Dunno if i have time for flashing ROMs today but will have a look at some stage. Lol, dunno what's with the standard OS but nomenclature of radio rom is intriguing.
PS just noticed you're in adelaide. Good form
Hi there...have downloaded the RUU already and made the nbh with GSM.nb only...but have no time to make the upgrade...if someone have made the upgrade already post if it is all OK...

Could you please upload extracted RadioROM to rapidshare or megaupload ?
am doing it now... stay tuned
I extracted the radio rom. It is 1.38.30.10, flashed it with the new Custom RUU works great. I'll test it today to see if there's any noticable difference between 1.38.00.10. Here it is if anyone wants it. When it doubt use Force Using SSPL.

changes are minor... 3G fixes for the 850Mhz networks here in AUS....
well some parts of cingular runs 3g in 850 like here in jacksonville...so might help some of us here too
I have just flashed it, i havent had any problems with 1.38.00.10 on Telstras NextG network, so will see how this one goes. ;-)
Hi all, I've just installed the WM6 Black 1.2 and Hard SPL 1.10 Oli to my Jasjam, very nice. It took me all last weekend to reinstall the Applications and data.
My current ROM is 3.22.200.4 and Radio Rom is 1.20.31.10. I've just want to know:
1. Is it worth just install this Radio Rom only 1.33.30.10 to improve my GSM reception and WIFI.
2. Also if I install the Radio Rom only- do I still have to reinstall every Applications AGAIN.....
Cheers

About 1000x said there is NO improve in WIFI with radio ROM...this is part of the OS and not the Radio ROM...yes it is worth if you have any older version than 1.38.00.00

It depends on the way you do the install...cause the latest RUU (original one) make task 28 on the end of the install and this mean HARD RESET...I will do my update from SD card...

Well I've been using it for a day now and haven't noticed any huge improvement in the radio but I with more use it may prove to be better.
Noticed the new MS Packet Video player. Guess this is to solve the problems Telstra customers were having with no Foxtel sevices on the Jasjam. I believe it was an issue of Media Player not being compatible.
Also a few small changes to Telstra customizatons. No changes to WM5, still AKU 2.3.
Maybe my imagination, but I thought I used to be able to turn on Flight Mode (radio off) and still have WiFi on, but can't now. Also the tab in Phone options to Update Time has gone, and there seems to be one less tab in the WiFi settings. Guess you can get them back with reg hacks.
Funny how everyone raves about how fast WM6 feels when they first install it... this update made me realise how fast WM5 feels when it is a new/clean install.
I uploaded the Radio Only with the Olipro RUUWrapper so it wont HR after you install. Also NON rapidshare mirror.

A reference:
Last Updated: 27 March 2007
As a further enhancement to the Next G (TM) network, Telstra will carry out a platform upgrade which will affect i-mate JASJASM users and will require them to carry out a software upgrade for their handsets. This software upgrade will be available on a CD and on the www.imate.com/jasjamsupport website.
Customers who purchase an i-mate (TM) JASJAM must be informed prior to purchase that their i-mate JASJAM handset will require a software upgrade. Customers must be told that this software upgrade is available on the www.imate.com/jasjamsupport website. CDs with the software upgrade will be available on request from the website soon.
Post the network upgrade, the customer will need to have installed the new software on their device in order to maintain simultaneous voice and data connectivity.
Before the network upgrade, all Telstra i-mate (TM) JASJAM users will be sent an SMS, followed by a direct mail piece with instructions on how to facilitate the upgrade.
Note: the customer must download the upgrade to a PC then to the handset. There is no provision to download directly from the imate site to customers handsets.
Customers are advised to backup all personal data prior to downloading the software to their device.

From that link, the enhancements :
The essential service enhancements include:
• Network enhancement: this upgrade will even further optimize the performance of your i-mate™ JASJAM on the Telstra Next GTM network, taking full advantage of all the latest network enhancements and ensuring you can continue to make/receive calls during a data transmission eg. Direct Push Email.
• Time Zone fix: currently some of your appointments may appear to be shifted forward by one hour. This may have occurred when daylight savings commenced. The service upgrade will help stop this occurring.
• Unknown USB device driver fix: you may have seen an "Unknown USB device" error message appear on your screen. It is extremely intermittent, and only experienced by a small number of devices. The service upgrade will help stop this error occuring.
• Screen Backlight fix: you may have experienced your back light not turning on making it difficult to read the screen. It is extremely intermittent, and is only experienced by a small number of devices. The service upgrade will help stop this occurring.
• Freeze fix: you may have experienced your device freezing up. It is extremely intermittent, and is only experienced by a small number of devices. The service upgrade will help stop this occurring.
• Bluetooth® fix: this enhanced version of Bluetooth® is designed to improve the ability to connect your i-mate™ JASJAM to other Bluetooth® compatible accessories eg. Bluetooth® headset or car kit.

"extremely intermittent" device freezes? Some here would beg to differ.
Anyone extracted the cab files from EXTROM?
Hi
Are the new Windows Media streamer install file located in the EXT rom?
Can anyone extract those from the installation file and post them somewhere?
Thanks

While it's technically OK to use with the radio ROM you created, it's bad advice in general (particularly if you have Hard-SPL installed). The "Force SSPL" option should only be used to upgrade/downgrade Hard-SPL. The latest Custom RUU (V4) has SPL auto-detect. When it doubt, use that!
