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:
http://www.o2.co.uk
upgrade
i found the upgrade on this site under ppc 2003

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.
Hi,
I was reading post from "JeffreyK" and saw you are from Australia, I am having problems with GPRS and I was wondering which network you are with in Aus.....
Might help me with settings

I'm on Vodafone.
Jeff
Hi JeffreyK
Can you please help me, I am with Vodafone Australia and I can not get the GPRS working, is yours working and if so how did you do it, I do not understand the setting as they are diferent to PPC 2002 I entered:
vfinternet.au
no user name or password
and it will not connect.
Please if you have any ideas please help
Seal,
Modem Type "Cellular Line (GPRS)"
Access point name: vfinternet.au
Thats it.
I wish mine wasn't working, I've spent over A$600 on GPRS the last few months
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......
So there are a lot of different ROM's out there...official, unofficial, hacks, etc. on every thread.
Does anybody want to compile a list/chart of what versions are floating around and what versions their Himalayas are running( have run, if you've upgraded) and does it work for them? Maybe we can eventually get a db together with all the different ones out there to share. I have a few( none applied though).
For example:
Me I-mate PPC PE( fill in your version XDAII, MDAII, Qtek2020, etc)
Rom version:1.03.00USA
Rom Date:9/24/03
Radio Version: 1.05.12
Protocol version:1337.12
ExtROM version: 1.03.20
Language: English
Official? :yes
Upgraded? : no
Works for you: for now.
Or add their $0.02 and other categories to compile a list.
I-mate PPC PE
Rom version:1.52.00WWE
Rom Date:10/23/03
Radio Version: 1.06.01
Protocol version:1337.16
ExtROM version: 1.52.83
Language: English
Official :Yes
Upgraded : Yes
Works for you: Upgrade worked, but having bad battery life and signal problems ever since...
Hey hachepe, since you have the original ROMs still, could you backup them up off of your device, (OS, Radio, Ext, etc..). I'm thinking of downgrading.... (here some links on how, though I've never done it)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4557&highlight=bootloader+command
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4608
Thanks
I went from the official Imate rom that came with it to the official 1.52 version. Unit is faster, NO BATTERY PROBLEMS, or low signal problems, fixes for the (+) problem in the inbox program , msn messenger update , mms fix , Bluetooth profile fix for BT headset, much better signal, quick radio off mode. No issues VERY glad I updated.
Qtek 2020
Qtek 2020, went from an old US rom to the Tmobile 1.60 then to the new Qtek Rom from Dangaard after struggeling with the country id error:
Version: 1.60.00WWE
Date: 12.03.03
Radio version: 1.06.01
Protocol: 1337.16
ExtRom: 1.60.21
I like the Qtek rom better since it doesn't include the predefined setup of MMS an so on...

Can we have more detail about this?
MDA II, upgraded the original German ROM (don't know the version number, I think 1.30) to the T-Mobile 1.60 NL (non official version). MDA is now in English, can't compare since I upgraded immediatly after purchase. Waiting with the Dangaard 1.60 upgrade.
Here is my config...
Qtek 2020
Rom version:1.52.00FRA
Rom Date:10/23/03
Radio Version: 1.05.12
Protocol version:1337.16
ExtROM version: 1.52.02
Language: French
Official :Yes
Upgraded : No
Waiting for French upgrade... or perhaps might migrate to english ROM if no French version planified.
FYI, I received this message from QTek support :-(

Subject: Qtek 2020 Support?
Importance: High
Hi,
I recently bought a QTek 2020 from a French online retailer (CDiscount).
This is a great device. Unfortunately, I can't find any kind of online
support for this device... Indeed, several HTC distributors (for instance
those that distribute XDA II or i-Mate - which are the same devices than
QTek 2020) are offering online support for their device (ROM update,
Software update, etc.).
What about QTek 2020 support? There is no area dedicated to QTek 2020 on
your web site. Moreover, your web site is unintelligible for foreigners...
Could you please give me a way to get the same kind of services than you
competitors?
Thanks in advance for your answer and Happy New Year!
Regards,
Guillaume

To Guillaume:
You hit the point! Every retailer has to provide support for Qtek?
This is totally unfair. However, to be honest, Dangaard people is allowing the download of Qtek specific ROM without much of a question... for now.
I accepted an exchange from i-mate to Qtek, because my seller (Expansys) was sold out on I-mate, and claimed the device was the same (it is in fact) but no statement was made about support.
my config:
Qtek 2020
Originally 1.03.00 USA upgraded to T mobile ROM 1.60.00 WWE
ROM date 12/03/03
Radio version 1.06.01
Protocol version 1337.16
Ext ROM Version 1.60.06
Fortunately no problems about country ID, although I'm dealing with some minor bugs:¿Maybe another data base on ROM version specific problems?
1.- T-mobile 1.60, looks much faster than my Qtek original one (phone being the best part) although some minor bugs are there, some old, some new.
2.- I had to hard reset the machine more often to get rid of some bugs, the most annoying being The menu text font changing itself to white without apparent reason. Depending of your background theme, it becomes unreadable (T-mobile theme for instance) Seems related to trying new themes.
3.- PC message about USB port unrecognized.
4.- Refusal to sync notes. (This is my most recent one)
5.- My recurrent and permanent bug: week view on calendar (7 days, monday first) if today happens to be Sunday, every tap on the "go to today" button takes me to the NEXT week. Can anyone confirm this is PPC 2003 or XDAII/ROM specific? (Just change the date to the next sunday and tell me please)
6.- Both Brightness settings set themselves to ZERO, while working on the PDA. This is an awfull one, I thought I've lost my XDAII backlight! Until I found my way to the menu and settings, I wasn't able to recover the backlight. Try to do that on a poor light environment WITHOUT any backlight, (blaming the manufacturer and guessing who would fix it altogether) and you'll know what I'm talking about.
7.- And my final wish: When the BT Handsfree profile for my carkit?

2. Had also probs with changing themes.
3. I installed the most recent ActiveSync version from the Microsoft site, even before I connected the MDA II for the first time, so no probs with that.
4. Works fine here.
5. Tried this out, no prob, works fine.
6. Unknown problem here.
I do have problems with ActiveSync locking up from time to time. Then I have to kill it with taskmanager and restart it.
Hope this helps,

Qtek/Dangaard 1.60.21
O2 XDA2
Originally 1.03.00 USA upgraded to Qtek/Dangaard ROM 1.60.21 WWE
ROM date 12/03/03
Radio version 1.06.01
Protocol version 1337.16
Ext ROM Version 1.60.06 (Thariman's custom Tmobile/O2 ext ROM)
Language: English
Official :yes
Upgraded : yes
Works for you: yes with modification
Major problem with Qtek 1.60.21 (original 1.60.21 ExtRom). XDA2 will soft reset when a wav file is opened via file explorer. In one occassion it froze completely and cannot be revived by soft reset. Only after hard reset and removing the battery the XDA came back (for a while the PDA did'nt respond even to hard resets).
After extended ROM was re-flashed using moded custom Tmobile/O2 extrom, the wav file problem disappeared. Plus I was able to get the SPB GPRS monitor and my precious O2 bubbles.
PS: I used RPC's hexediting method to modify Thariman's custom ms_.nbf
and the GPRS "auto off"?
I had the original O2 1.03 and upgraded to Tmobile 1.6
Now the GPRS turns itself off after every use. very annoying.
I understand different versions have this set differently,
or anyone knows a reg key?!
which version should I get (English) to solve this?
O2 XDAII Asia Version
Currently TMobile NL
Rom version:1.60.00WWE
Rom Date:12/03/03
Radio Version: 1.06.01
Protocol version:1337.16
ExtROM version: 1.60.06 Cook ( ExtRom is ReadOnly )
Language: English
Official? :no
Upgraded? : yes
Works for you: Yes.
I replace my CallerID with Caller2Picture
Installed apps:
Resco File Explorer and Resco Registry
UK AIM Client
nPop
PocketWinc
SanDisk Wi-Fi
XCPUScalar
IP Dashboard
Spb Pocket Plus
Sprite Backup
vxUtil
vxSNMP
Original version 1.03.00
Move to T-Mobile 1.60 NL
-- Happy
-- ftXPBrowser freeze once awhile need to soft reset.
-- GPRS is always on since I remove the T-Mobile customization.
-- Bluetooth work fine for GPS using Holux GR-230 ( not use extensively yet only GPSView and VisualGPSce
-- Ocassionally use Jabra BT200 earset, it work fine.
Move to Dangaard Qtek
-- Hard reset once while browsing with ftXPBrowser via GPRS
-- 3 occasion of no signal (X) on the signal meter
Move to I-Mate (nk 1.52.00, Radio 1.06.01, ms 1.52.83 )
-- Doesn't have the Bluetooth Serial fix
Move back to T-Mobile 1.60 NL

THANKS FOR THE INFO!
Just moved to Dangaard ROM. Seems to go far better, although bugs seem to be the "essence" of XDA Software.
BTW with item 5, would you mind set for a moment Regional language to Spanish (Traditional sort) and make a try on the "sunday" bug. I've been unable to get rid of this, and it's my 3th ROM! My last shot is this is related to Language. (Note: week view on calendar, 7 days week, monday first, and today is Sunday... tap takes you to Monday next week!
Thanks a lot!
I have the 2.20.07CHS ROM installed but I found some strange folders and the font letters are outside the display (in some screens).
Anyone have the 2.20.07 WWE?
I can't find it...
It exists??? :?
Anyone have the same problems I reported?
:idea: <Sorry for my poor english!> :idea:
RE
Your version is translated from Chinese. Due to the fact that its NOT 100% translated you'll get those strange looking folders/boxes/fonts which are actually in Chinese if you've a Chinese software installed to see them.

Ya! I know that. But I don't like it this way.
There are a 2.20WWE?
Is better to downgrade?
Someone can tell me, please?
There are (or not) a Himalaya 2.20WWE ROM?
Now, ROM 2.20 WWE does not exist.
It doesn't occur in this time.
Still wait for some operator to release it.
So, what the best WWE ROM?
2.02t or 2.06?
I like the Media Player 10 but I hate that chinese characters appearing all the time.
why dont you try the 2k5.. it does have the wm10 and got alot of changes (*better in my opinion, still have some bugs on hardware/soft) but its only minor for me..
make a try.. :wink:
WM2005 experience
I have tryed the WM2005 but seems to me that is a buggy OS.
Don't you think?
Don't try with 2k5, that's will not satify or you try.
hmm.. not for my experience.. my 2k5 is loaded with programs... and works brilliant.
sad part, i must keep stopping all programs manualy using Running Programs all the time.:-(
:wink: I will try again! :roll:
WM2005 need some tunning, right? :?
Something about the ROM.
MSN Messenger.
Synchronization issues by USB.
Anything else? :idea:
It is possible to fix those problem by a patch.
those "strange folders" are "Start menu", "Startup", "Favourate" and "Program" in \windows
You can change those folder to its english name however you must find them in registry and change them too.
some registry need to be translated such as :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ConnMgr\Destinations]
you can guss they are "Internet settings" from "Internet ??" etc
Issue of font size can be fixed in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\SYSFNT]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\V1\FontAlias]
However i doubt there is anyone still interested in this version.
I dislike some bugs of it which I don't know solution.
such as taping connection icon will lead to hang up if flight mode is on.
I like some program in this CHS extrom such as battery indicator and that flight game.
2.20 ROM
I am just wondering, does anyone know where to find the 2.20 ROM file? Either in Chinese or English?

i don't think that acer has windows mobile 2003 se PHONE EDITION and nobody can take rom from one device to another (not even from alpine to himalaya) so it would be useless

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!

ROM Upgrade
Hi. I'm in a similar position. Notes won't work, SMS has stopped working and hard resets don't help. Am looking for version 1.72.187 which seeems to be the best one at present for Australian XDA II. Can anyone assist in locating it. Tried source without luck. Still hunting...
Does any one have any links on a stable Australian O2 XDA II automated ROM? :?:

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!)
Cheers

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
Guys, just for some info, just got a brand new unlocked Dopod 838Pro in aust and the ROM vers is 1.30.707.4 08/22/06 Radio 1.20.31.10.
hi
I see your from oz.
where did you get your dopod 838pro from?
3 are out of stock and the place I got mine was from press digital.
they seem to have grey imported it from singapore and its got a v1.23 ROM with a 1.06 radio.
i got mine from www.expansys.com.au they had really good service... but im having trouble registering the Dopod on the website...
I had the same issue and thats how I found out it was a grey import (as well as the singapore warranty card).
The serial number would not register with the aus dopod site but did with the singapore site.
the serial numbers are common to specific countries. see where the handset came from and you should be able to register with that specific country.
well thats weird as the Warranty sticker says Dopod 838 Pro (Australia).
(update)
tried Singapore and still didnt work and cannot contact anyone as there is no AUS call center!!!!
send them an email and they will give you a call. Theyre based in north sydney. thats what happened with me.
dopod did advise that theres a new rom out which isnt availiable on the website yet so it must be your version. they wouldnt give it to me as ive got a singapore version.
mmm bas**rds... ill send another email....
Compared with my dopodAsia ExtROM, v1.23, differences are:
v1.23
D_Hermes-v3r1032
P_ECall_999_fix
v1.30
D_Hermes-v3_1r1668 vs.
D_spwm5.Release (3 mobile mail smartphone client - requires registration)
P_HER_RIL_0911
P_wifi_fix
All files are dated 05/01/2006
Wonder what P_wifi_fix does...
I installed the the entire external ROM over my original DopodAsia extROM and ran into zero problems.
The smartphone client isn't useful to me so I removed it.
With WiFi on, I have no problems using AS over bluetooth. It does nothing to fix the A2DP problem with WiFi on. Must wait for AKU3... :-(
Cheers
well thats interesting as i didnt buy the phone from 3...
Just got mine from Press Digital, new batch from Dopod for the Australian market. It has same ROM as listed above.
When compared to friends Singapore (brought in by Press Digital) unit it has more software installed.
Apps installed (Remove Programs)...
-3 mobile Mail Smartphone Client
-Cyberon VoiceCommander
-Aidem Aidem MP3 Player
-Magic productions MagicPuz
-Magic productions Another World
-SimpleAct Quickmart
Aparently, this unit has been tested and works with Optus, reason Australian units were on hold until just recently.

Hi Nighthawk
I have a JASJAM (bought outright from Computer Cworld) and I would like to use it with 3 Australia. Funny this was, that the ROM had Telstra branding, so I flashed it with the generic WWE JasJam Rom.
Now, its been a pain to get the 3 services working such as 3MMS and 3netaccess etc and so on. 3 australia are no use to help me set it up.
Is there a cab file(s) in your extended rom that has three or 3 in its name. I am hoping that there is a cab that can set up my JASJAM with all the 3 settings.
Looking forward to your reply.
Cheers,
Jasjamming
I checked my Extended ROM again, after sending you the personal message, and I found one file with the number "3" in it.
File Name: D_Hermes-v3_1r1668.CAB
I have no idea what this is, but I will upload it anyway for you to have a go with. (crosses fingers)

Hi Nighthawk,
ill give the file a try,
do you mind uploading the entire contents of your extended rom as a zip/rar file. I would like to analyse the entire extended rom just incase the file you mentioned is not the one.
Much appreciated.
Thanks,
jasjamming
Here is the file from the Extended ROM, sorry took so long.
Trying to upload entire Extended ROM as ZIP, but it keeps erroring on me.
wrong cab
