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.
Finally I found time to publish my own cooked Extended Rom.
It is to be used together with the 1.72.601 QTek OS and Radio Roms
(do a search to find that upgrade).
Carefully read the Description.txt file on upgrade instructions.
I used the ExtRomUnlocker software because that keeps you from the flash-process which has a higher risk to mess up the device. Therefore I put together a RAR archive and not a NBF rom-image file.
I used this Extended Rom now for over 4 weeks without any trouble (for whats its worth to you . . .)
There is still one issue i am having with BT GPS and TomTom3: When TomTom cannot connect to the GPS (GPS off, BT off, GPS out of reach), it almost freezes the device. I work around this by simply not to try using TomTom without GPS connected.
Any clues on solving that are greatly appreciated.
Please post any remarks.

Is there a way to put that new iPaq PPCE for T-Mobile USA ROM/OS on my xdaII? -or is that a bad idea? -is it possible to get that ROM anywhere?
its a bad idea. This rom would make your XDA2 a piece of metal.
...ok, so if I'm on TMO USA will this 1.72 upgrade work fine for me? I've heard it's generally a bad idea to upgrade unless you're really unhappy...I'm on 1.60.00wwe & radio 1.10.00 -so how will I do better? I'm tempted just to wait til the SE is out...
The 1.72 OS & Radio rom will work fine for you.
See the other threads for the benefits, but they really come down to:
- improved BT
- improved battery life
My ExtRom can be of use too, but you will need to setup the T-Mobile USA specific settings (like GPRS, Voicemail, SMSC and maybe some more)
I have an MDA II, with the UK 1.72 Beta on it. Can I upgrade with this ROM, without any special configuration of the country id, or anything else. Or will this require some special changes to the .nbf, use of extended rom viewer, etc, etc.
I'm ok with upgrading a ROM, but I do not want to mess around with the device beyond that. Too many horro stories out there.
Ik heb een T-Mobile MDA II maar het is lang geleden dat ik heb geupgrade. Ik zit momenteel op 1.60WWE. Ik zie dat dit een extrom is, wat gaat er precies geupgrade worden? Zit er ook een nieuwere radio version bij of zijn het "enkel" o.a. de zaken die jij aangaf?
Enig idee wanneer SE uitkomt want ik ben al een paar maanden hier niet meer geweest
I have "SALAD ROM"
After modifying this ext. rom (except 'T-Mobile' setting), i have "Salad Rom' like this :
ROM version : 1.72.00WWE
date : 03/15/04
radio : 1.17.00
protocol : 1337.28
ext. rom : 1.72.900
before i was ext. rom 1.72.601qteq, 1.72.800imate, and now the latest version 1.72.900edsubsoft
and worked fine for me, untill SE out.

thank's for your hard job edsub

Good job ajong!
I have mine cooked and ready but still waiting for my Xda II to hard reset on me.
Re: I have "SALAD ROM"
If I decide to use this ROM when the Official T-mobile comes out am I going to have country ID error problem again like when you have upgraded from... I-mate to T-mobile ROM or vise-versa? Or it is just straight forward upgrade?
Thanks!

From the replies I think is about time to clear some things.
1. My archive is just the CONTENTS of a ExtRom that I put together. Benefits: All new versions & works together perfectly with 1.72qtek & contains customisations for T-Mobile Nl that I want.
2. Because its NOT an NBF, you DON'T have any country code issues on the ExtRom
3. For your device to work, you will at least need a 1.72 NON-Beta OS & Radio rom. I use the Qtek ones, but planning to upgrade radio to 1.17. Withe the OS & Radio you may entouter country code issues, but they can be solved via the instructions on this site. You will have country code issues when your device currently is not running a rom from the same distributor. ie: if your running an official T-Mobile rom you will encounter country code issues when using the 1.72 Qtek or iMate roms
Hope this helps . . .
Thanks for clarification...

Sorry for the extra question but that didn't clear things up for me...
Leaving the C-code error aside which seems solvable, are saying with my current rom & radio (posted above) I can just download your 1.72 and will have no issues?
CDTV, you first have to get the 1.72 rom upgrade (for use of os & radio) from Qtek or iMate.
AFTER you upgrade to that os & radio, THEN you can use my ExtRom.
OK, but Ihave an xdaII from o2 bought from expansus & unlocked using w/TMO...am I out of luck to get the update? is it really worth it? (batt life & BT a lot better performance?)
From where I can download this 1.72.900 version upgrade?
From where I can download this 1.72.900 version upgrade?
@heshamsch:
errrrrrrr in the first post of this thread?
remember its only the contents of the ExtRom, You need a 1.72 os & radio to get it to work properly
@CDTV:
I cant judge if you wil benefit noticably
I benefitted (especially BT, to be used without any extra tools now!)
Remember the ExtRom contains (more or less) Éxtra's and NL specific customisations
edsub a lil help man
i got the official 1.72 WWE rom installed and considered installing this extended rom,but i do not know where to put the files in order to install or the process....is there some program i use to install a walk through would be greatly appreciated,also is the radio better than 1.14.00?
Ext Rom Tmobile
Hi, your Ext rom suits fine, but.....I use KPN as my prvider and would rather not see the T mobile screen when its starting up. Is this easy to fix within the ext Rom and if so how can i change this.
Thx
Ferry
this should be do-able.
You need to change the images that reside in one of the cab's.
Use ce cabmanager to open those. You can try this s/w a number of times before you have to buy.
You cant just put any bitmap in.
Search this forum on 'splash image' how to create your own (KPN i suppose) image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=3759&highlight=splash+image

Hello,
I have here an on Himalaya Phone (QTek, Vodaphone Germany branded)
any option to update/upgrade firmware to sth. new
ROM-Version 1.66.01GER
Radio 1.10.00
Protokoll 1337.18
ExtRom 1.66.221
I never upgraded a PocketPC, but I'm not a newbie to computers....
Thanks for your help
Bernhard
sure you can get 2003se. wm5, wm6, wm6.1 and wm6.5
the description in the readme in the rom packets include all the
info anybody could give
Also, this is very secure process, it is very low danger that you can brick your phone upgrading rom, but you must be very careful while updating Radio. Radio update takes 2~3 minutes, and it is as automatic as rom upgrade.
