Hi All,
I upgraded my QTEK2020 to T-Mobile 1.60.00WWE. Everything normal except with radio on (radio vers. 1.06.01) sync hangs up and when i use contacts it usually hangs too...
What is the best upgrade available?
Anyone can help me? :?:
Thanks :lol:

The latest radio stack is 1.10.00 and included in all new o2 (and i-mate) upgrades. I suggest that you take this radio stack 'cause I did not experience that kind of problems yet.
Think it should be possible to use that radio stack for qtek as well but I think that there is already an upgrade for qtek containing the latest radio stack. Maybe you should check with your provider first...
How specifically do you take parts and pieces from a ROM upgrade, or in the case of this thread the Radio Stack?
I have an MDA II, with 1.60. I did not upgrade to the 1.60.36, because I did not really hear positive things about it and my device is working quite well.
I would however like to improve the Radio Stack independent of upgrading the ROM Ext.
How do I do this?

I am already reg. with I-mate as owner of one of it products, I got informations from them say that new room will be avilable soon it is ver. 1.66 for XDA II maybe next few days, and the windows Ver. is Windows 2003 SE
at all when I got the link to download it I will publish the link for everyone, Thank you for everyone published that great support using XDA II and XDA. it was great help to me to came very expert in solving problems to my XDA and XDAII
as my profile say then
i have
RUU 1.66.00WWE
RSU 1.10
on my qtek2020 it came with that
as far as i can tell it's not 2003 SE
specs
ROM version: 1.66.00WWE
ROM date> 02/20/04
Radio version 1.10.00
protocol version 1337.18
extOM version 1.66.140
I published what I already read in I-mate forum, I didn't have it yet ...... by the way all new edditions of XDAII coming with v. 1.66
so Rudegar
as it is getting really stressy to have the latest release... ;-)
do you have any ideas about the improvements with your
1.66.00 ROM over the 1.60.00
Alex
hmm, can you post a copy of your rom?
you can copy the rom with pmemdump from itsutils.
well it had that rom when i got it so i cant really compare it with 1.60 since i went from a xda1
i'll look into drumping the rom
but it does seem to have some auto settings and such for
some phone company
usually the phone company specific stuff is in the extended rom.
itsme:
usually the build number is just the ExtROM right? example, the latest tmobile rom i saw in the other thread had 1.60.36, but the os was simply 1.60.00, and the radio was 1.10.00, and the extrom was 1.60.36
does that mean that IF we extract whatever newest rom that comes out in the future and see that it has the same osrom ver and radio stack, merely upgrading the ExtROM is the best way to go?
I mean i know people prefer to only flash the ExtROM, but that's because they want to cook something up. But what if you just want to upgrade and not waste time with the OS if you see they still have the same number, does it HAVE to come hand in hand to upgrade? Or could you just bypass the others and upgrade the ExtROM and expect it to perform like a real update?
yes, that is what I usually do.
Can anyone share with us information on version 1.72 for XDA2: features, benefits, pros, cons... ?
Is worth upgrading from O2 1.60 ?
thanks
There are allready many threads on this.
But to conclude:
If you don't have any issues with your current version: stay with it.
You might consider 1.72 (the Qtek or iMate versions, NOT the T-Mobile beta) especially when:
1. You need certain Bluetooth options (ie serial port protocol) and don't want to mess around with hacks or extra 'tools'
2. Battery life is important
For me these points were enough to DO the upgrade (coming from 1.63 T-Mobile NL). And very happy with it.
Keep in mind that (unless you find a 1.72 from your own operator) you will have quite some work with getting all the customisations right.
One of these days I will post a good working set (no issues in a month holiday!!) of customisations to be used as a an extended rom for T-Mobile NL
i'm currently using the T-Mobile ROM v1.72WWE had no problem with it. the batt life was improved noticeably. I was using the O2 ROM v1.66WWE
as for my bluetooth i'm using the widcomm BT-PPC/PE v1.0.0 build 1400. no problems with it except that it turns off whenever i set my phone to standby mode.
downlaod
i have a qtek 2020 with rom 1.66 and it is doing a lot of problem which version is better and where can i download it
1.72 ROM Editing the Connectivity

1.72 ROM
i have 'salad rom' with asian flavour(Included 'auto configuration' & 'o2 connect) and happy with it.
rom 1.72WWE, radio 1.17, ext.rom 1.72.900 (main rom by Qteq, radio by T-mobile, ext.rom by edsubsoft).
untill now ;
phone, gprs, activesync, run program, MS BT stack, sms, mms ........are running well. (maybe i am lucky with it)
keep to my salad untill SE come out.
---------------
many thanks to [Krueger] Dr. Stein, mamaich, itsme, edsub...
you are great man.
Most of the post regarding ROM Salads and customizations are beyond what I wish to perform on my device. To dat I have only loaded T-Mobile ROM upgrades that required nothing more than loading them automatically. I currently have the T-Mobile U7K Beta on my MDA II.
Can someone please explain the following:
1. Is there another T-Mobile 1.72 WWE available that I can load, non-beta?
2. I see other Custom ROMs on this site that state T-Mobile. Can I simply load those automatically or will I have to get into country ID, .nbf files, etc?

Official T-Mobile
Hi. Gratefuled
maybe this can help you : :?: :?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=11169
ajong,
Thanks for the link. I have looked at that page/thread, but I think what I want is still not available.
I'm looking for an official T-Mobile 1.72 ROM, si I can get rid of the 1.72 Beta, or I'm looking for someone's custom ROM that I can load just like I could an official one. In other wors the custom I suppose would be ok, but I do not want to mess around with opeing the ROM and disecting and changing certain settings. Like I say, it just may not be out there.

Can anybody advise is it possible to upgrade the bluetooth stack in the XDaII at all? my current hardware/software configuration is;
microsoft PPC 4.20.1081 (build13100)
ROM version 103.00 USA
Radio Version 1.05.12
Potocol version 1337.12
can you advise on sources, success, issues and resolutions or otherwise please?
thanks

As your ROM is quite old (the first afaik), I would suggest an upgrade to
OS 1.72.00WWE
Radio 1.17.00
ExtROM Whatever contents you want.
To make things easier, I created a upgrade package for T-Mobile branded XDA2 / MDAII devices. Search for RUU172901*
Remind that you should only upgrade when your device is not working as it should be and/or if you need extra functionalitrybthat is supplied in a newer ROM (like Bluetooth in 1.72.00)
I've been off the forum for a long while.
Could somebody update me on where we stand on ROM/Operator ROM versions and is it yet possible to install a REAL Bluetooth stack (i.e. one that supports a handsfree profile and passes car microphone into the XDA for voice recognition).
I have an XDA2 with an identity crisis (had a sexchange and now masquerades as an M1000 on Orange).
BTW I currently use a T610 with my Parrot car kit. What an outstanding implementation of Bluetooth services!! XDA developers could do worse than write a T610 emulator ....
The current rom version is:
OS 1.72.00WWE
Radio 1.17.00
ExtROM:
O2 1.72.181 / 1.72.187 (UK based, difference: one is with other without Blackberry)
T-Mobile 1.72.190 (NL based)
iMate 1.72.126
QTek 1.72.601
I would go for the O2 or T-Mobile ones, but: There are many customisations available (like my own 1.72.903 T-Mobile based) with many extras that might suit your wishes.
Read the sticky post from dcs to fix & prevent upgrade errors to avaoi Identity crises.
The current ExtROM version of the imate is 1.72.800.
How (and why..) can I upgrade the Radio version to 1.17 (my current is 1.14.
@amir : you could replace radio.nbf from your upgrade with another 1.17 out of some recent update.
Just watch the country code.
and do not try to update radio alone. just reupdate with existing OS rom, new radio rom and existing EXtrom
About the why I'm not so sure. I don't recall the benefits of 1.17 against 1.14. maybe you could do a search.
Only rom part that can be left out with a rom update is the ExtROM.
You MUST upgrade Radio & OS at the same time as a minimum.
The ExtROM can also be updated via the ExtRom Tools (which is less dangerous than flashing.
Have loaded all the latest updates available but original BT problems still remain. I have a Nokia CK-1W car kit which has always refused to work though I did get some success using the Pocket Bluetools stack ( incoming calls only ). Don't know of any other solutions for BT right now ???
Well I have the T-Mobile 1.72 ROM already (with Orange 1.66 ExtROM) and the Bluetooth is still rubbish.
Oh well, one day!!
PS Pocket PC tools looked promising for a while but I couldn't get it to work with Parrot. Have there been any updates since April?
Cheer
BT is working just fine (thanks god ).
I am pairing daily with GPS receiver & BT headset, no problems at all.
I just upgrded my ExtROM, with official update from iMate, I think I'll skip updating the radio, since I see no known reason for that.
BTW, I just heard a rumor saying ROM 1.77 for the iMate, will on the air within 1-2 weeks.
The update contains radio 1.17
Get the 2.02.t1WWE Windows 2003SE upgrade which is available on this site from DCS.
I recently upgraded my device and it now works with my Nokia CARK-1W bluetooth car kit. I have tried every upgrade available up until this one for a fix without any joy so I am rather please with the results !!
Incidentally, performace on my XDAII has improved over the last ROM.
Hi there,
after upgrading to WM6 (twice) i feel that the radio version (1.45.00.00) is less reliable than the one i had with WM5 (1.38.001),
about 10% of the calls i get, the phone doesn't ring at all and about 30% of the calls the phone only rings once and then stops,
overall reception in 3G is worse than it used to be.
is there a way to cook WM6 with the WM5 radio?
thanks
I THINK if you flash your device with Mobile 2005 you'll ger your radio ROM back, not sure.. Just try and post the results..
thank you for your post
yes indeed i will,
but then i will get WM5 back again, right?
what i really wanted was WM6 with WM5's radio.
i upgraded to the new WM6 with radio 1.45.00.10 so far so good, i will have to wait before getting any conclusions
well i think that both radio versions are almost the same, so i am asking again if it is possible to change only the radio version or to combine an old radio version with WM6 before flashing the whole rom,
thanks for your reply

I have only seen the 1.47.51 radio posted seperately. It seems to work pretty well for me.
Later...................
P.S. It does require a hard reset to install it tho.........Later
When I upgraded to WM6 the radio wasn't working any more: I was unable to receive incoming calls, the device switch directly to messaging, and the radio was rebooting after each call.
For me, in France, if the ROM radio of the Athena is higher than 1.38 the phone app is turning mad... So I had to go back to WM5 WWE then, flashing to the WM6 rom posted on the forum.
I've tried few days ago with the new rom from DOPOD, everything is working quite well, exept... the phone app which do no whant to receive calls any more.
I've a german AMEO with the HARD SPL but it does the same thing with a "french" HTC X7500.
Is it a provider incompatibility?
That's why i'm intersted of someone has the 1.38 radio ONLY
thanks!
Well me too.
Does somene have the original radio version 1.38.00 for posting?
thanks
Radio rom 1.38
@Olipro
Could you make an rom image with only radiorom 1.38 I have found that in the Netherlands radio 1.38 has a far better UMTS reception and it also has a far better GPS reception. This radio has no flaws and was developed for europe. I think 1.47 was optimized for the states and should be used over there. 1.45 was made for asia. So please make a 1.38 radiorom only.
