Difference b/n Beta ROMS and OTHERS? Which ROM to UPGRADE to - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

Is there any difference between the ROMS which say Beta, for test purposes only and other standart ROMs, and what is it?
My actual question is which version is best to use for my device O2 xda I? Which is the best Pocket PC 2002 edition available (in general, not only from O2) and which PPC 2003 from the kitchens and at which can I find it? Is there going to be PPC 2004 edition?
Thank You for your attention!

the main difference with Beta versions is that they usually have some bugs solved in the standard versions ... which they introduce new bugs as well
the best PPC2002 is the SER 3.17 v1.2 ... and the best WM2003 is the T4.01.00

I am right about the statement above and here is the link for download. BTW, thanks to those original developers of these Roms and here you are for the links and downloads
V2.02WWE http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=74980#74980 (on the very first page)
V 2.06WWE http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=74980#74980 (on bottom of the first page) Note that there are many customization to this version. However, the differences of each file is rooted in the customization of Extended Rom.
V 2.20.07WWE http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=74985#74985
All the above are UNOFFICIAL with the latter being under development and not yet 100% functional. However, the rate at which buzz_lightyear and mamaich are after the completion is rapid so stick to the site for update
The only official rom is now in chinese version and the link to that is http://mamaich.kasone.com/imate/chineese_se.rar

dUh!! if you look unto the official dopod website. Dopod released the 2.20CHS SE for dopod 696 wich is equivalnt to o2 XDA II... Did you get me? The 2.02 and the 2.06 are the images wich was not realesed and it is only for the developer of the himalaya device wich was stolen (maybe) and posted somewhere else on the net thats why we got it but the 2.20 was not stolen or illegal release becouse dopod actually dopod released it..... Duh!
dazed and confused!
Out of all the downloads and rom upgrades out there, what is the most stable and comprehensive. This is my first time here and I'm afraid of hurting my baby.

The fact is, that the 2.20CHS version is the official ROM that is released. All the other 3 versions will work on your device, but depending on your needs, it has varying degree of differences you may have to live with.
IMHO,
2.20WWE ( hack from 2.20CHS, half-translated from Chinese to English by mamaich. Contains the best combination of drivers/default software (e.g. WMP10 mobile, BT settings))
2.02 (better BT settings, same BT stack as 2.06. Poor cleartype. Same software. Faster reset. BT Handsfree implementation not complete. WMP 9 Mobile)
2.06 (Better cleartype. Same software. Slower reset. BT Handsfree configuration missing. WMP 9 Mobile)
All 3 versions have these common issues (I believe):
(a) BT profile will hide on Today items if not use.
(b) Speaker (reported by a few pple, not sure if its true or not).
(c) SDIO does not support Sandisk SD Wifi Combo card (w 256RAM)
(d) There are a number of software that will hang/hard reset/soft reset the device. These are the software that is not built to support WM2003SE.
I would seriously advise you to spend some time and search the forum with the key words WM2003SE, ROM, upgrade.
I understand that there are many discussions on these matters, but it will really benefit you in checking the latest updates.
Muchas Gracias!
Thanks so much for clarifying it for me. I've been reading the threads half the night and came out more confused than ever.
There seems to be a lot of discussion going on about what is better.
Now I have a better understanding of what is available.
When you say half chinese what does that mean exactly?
Thanks again!
That means....

Mamaich has hacked the 2.20CHS ROM to remove some of the Chinese translation mappings from the ROM. I believe the job is incomplete as some of the translations are within the DLL files and are difficult to be removed. The effort result in the 2.20WWE ROM.
Therefore, if you installed the 2.20WWE ROM, you get some of the software still with Chinese characters in the menu items.
Then...
Any point in upgrading? Ive got 1.6 wwe, and since all three aren't perfect, might as well wait for a post saying eureka ive got it. or am i wrong? I'm so confused with these posts, thus if it is useful upgrading, can any one briefly sum up what is on average the best rom then please? or shall I wait?
Grazie mille

If you're not up to the challenge of literally "TOASTING" your XDA then I strongly discourage you to upgrade. But if you do understand the consequences then go ahead. If I were you I'd wait though since all of the versions have bugs you would have to find the BEST one yourself. Lucky for you if you flashed it the first time and its perfect.
Now if you're up for the challenge and HAVE A LOT OF EXTRA TIME be ready to upgrade/downgrade endlessly to find the BEST version.
Good Luck
What the Hell.. 2.20.something is official!!! even if they traslated it to englisg, tagalog, korean but its still came from the official released!!! they still came from the original..

Hmmm ... there's something wrong with your definition of OFFICIAL you might be using a different dictionary. Yes the 2.20.07WWE came from the official 2.20CHS.
Its UNOFFICIAL simply because it is NOT the OFFICIAL ENGLISH version released by O2. Do you get my point?
Translating it to another language does not make it OFFICIAL. Sheesh :roll:
edited:
It's official CHINESE but it's not official ENGLISH or official GERMAN version. FYI, being a Filipino you should know by now our national language is not TAGALOG its called FILIPINO. TAGALOG is a dialect similar to BISAYA, PANGGALATOK, etc.
I think we should put an end to an official - unofficial discussion.
Because i like to alsways say something last: All SE versions for non Dopod devices are UNofficial. For Dopod devices there is 1 official SE rom version.
Simply because there were NO roms initially released for these devices. Thus: When focussing on non-Dopod its only a matter of determining how unofficial these roms are. Which is a stupid question in itself, but here we go:
Only for Dopod there is an official (2.20 CHS) SE ROM
For all other Himalaya's all SE ROM's are unofficial:
2.02WWE dcs
2.06WWE mystery man
2.20.07WWE translated from CHS by mamaich
2.20CHS
The 2.02 and 2.06 versions are WWE test versions from presumably HTC.
2.20.07 is the (partial) translated CHS retail version
2.20CHS is the Dopod retail version.
FULL STOP??
Full stop? Ans = YES....
I agree with edsub...
No more quarrel okay? Let's have a peace in this forum and help each other instead... Some words are offensive to some people (eg. duh!, stupid!..dumb! and so.. on..), so please let's try not to used it. Let's have a happy holiday and hope to find all answer without insulting each other.
PEACE to all yo! (FYI, I am not a priest)

German ROM with WPA2 support needed!

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,

WM6 most common version

First of all I wanted to tell you, that I've read through most of the "upgrade to WM6" discussion threads on different "XDA Neo, Qtec S200, etc." boards and I really want to thank you for this gorgeous "how-to-update to WM6" (as well what to do for troubleshooting) guide as well as for the hours of work you spent creating and packing the WM6 version for the S200.
I'm just a standard user who wants to upgrade his XDA Neo to WM6 (following the update instructions). As I do not have the insight on the benefits/drawbacks of different WM6 versions, I would kindly ask you for help:
- What is contained in the different version of WM6, what are the benefits, drawbacks, etc.
- Which is the most stable one and are there features that do not work yet at all under WM6
Thanks for taking the time for answering a flashing-newbie's questions.

I understand the reason for your question perfectly, but there is no general answer. There is no official release of WM6 for the Prophet (yet...?) All the ROMs you find here are made by fanatic, obsessed but genius people the like to fool around with there device. The put in, take out functionallity that answers there needs best, or trying to make fame by doing the impossible.
Non of these fearless daredevils is hired by a commercial Vendor that wants a stable big public release.
So if you want to flash, you have to search for a ROM that accidentally meets your wishes.
Hi,
Am also expecting the same from expertise, I have XDA Neo with WM5.
Could some one help us to upgrade my XDA Neo (English version QTe to WM6, ofcourse requesting you all to give the best one

Which rom?

Hi
I am new at PDAs, so i don't know which rom it's the best for my Gene new version, which room you think it's the best, WM 6.5 its my preference
EDIT: Right now i finished the Sumit's ProUsers WM 6.5 Edition v1.02 installation, and i think its a very nice rom, so i am keeping it
Wm 6.5 is a work in progress right now buddy, both from Microsoft and from us, XDA Developers, so you will have to keep checking roms as they are being released. And we are gonna have the final version of WM 6.5 to be released very soon (rumoured on 11th may) so we will have plenty of more ROMs then
yes, yes, i know, but i think its very stable until further realese, so i will keep it until new versions
By the way, still no free sim unlocker for gene? i am using my pda without SIM because of that, i really want tu use it for phoning to, but my SIM its from other operator and don't work in my gene :S
PS: When i turn on my Gene it have a boot screen from the operator that it is locked, can it be changed to?

It seems this new official ROMs are based on WM 6.5, but has HTC Sense 2.5 and many HTC applications are upgraded.
If these roms are official, why in HTCPedia I see "Requirements: Touch Diamond 2 ,HSPL!?
Is HSPL required for official rom updates?

that depends on the region your TD2 is meant for... for example, if you have the Europe WWE device, your ROM version is X.XX.405.X, then you can flash the official 2.53.405.5 ROM without using HSPL. However, if you have a different region, you must use HSPL to flash a ROM that wasn't meant for your device. Still, it is safer to use HSPL, just to avoid any problems with flashing. Anyway, please correct me if I'm wrong with the ROM numbers pls

after few ROMs I decided to flash on this official ROM, cause on every unofficial ROM there was something buggy or I missed (I tried Energy, Nhathoa, Dutty quite a lot versions). This ROM seems working great and for me is quite better to have 6.5 WiMo, not 6.5.x . Its fast, about 90MB RAM free. We will see, what about battery.
