Hi,
I have a T-Mobile NL MDA-II with what now seem to be fairly old ROMs. I am trying to judge whether I should upgrade or not, but can't seem to find any 'changelogs' or something of the kind. Is there something like this available? Or if not, perhaps someone could drop me a few lines saying what has improved (or gone worse) in newer versions of the ROMs (& radio stack etc).
Regards,

ROM 1.60.00WWE
Rom Date 12/03/03
Radio version 1.06.01
Protocol version 1337.16
ExtROM version 1.60.16
Hi Ad,
You seem to have the exact ROM as I do. Before I go for an ROM update I want to backup my current ROM. But this doesn't seem to work on my device with a bootloader 1.02
When I try to dump the ROM the PPC does dump the ROM to SD card but at the and it comes with an error message saying: Add SD card record info is fail!
Have you ever tried to dump your ROM to a SD card. If yes did you exprience the same problem.
PS I want to backup my ROM because I'm pretty satisfied with it. But want to try newer version too.
Regards,
Mark
New ROM
Mark,
I never tried backing up a ROM yet, so I'm afraid I can't help you out on that one.
I did however install the update that was available from the T-Mobile website so I am now running Radio version 1.10.00 and ExtROM version 1.60.36. The ROM itself is still 1.60.00WWE.
Please let me know if you find out what the cause of your problem is!
Thanks,

Hi
I have an i-mate with the following ROM in it:
Rom version 1.52.00wwe
Rom date 10/23/03
Radio version 1.10.00
Protocol version 1337.18
(wich is the official i-mate ROM)
I want to upgrade it to the latest version (1.60.36WWE). Upgrading with the 'standard' files, I get a Country ID Error. I know that I have to search the forum with 'country AND error' but I get a lot of results and actually none of them are for the 1.60.36WWE. Before crapping on my i-mate, I would like to konw what exactly I have to do to update it. I also want to know if there's any chances that I might regret my update (bugs, limitations...). Thanks a lot for the help from you gurs. I really appreciate it.
I think if you will read this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6694
I think it will answer your questions.
greetings!
i presently have a
xda 1 here in the philippines
rom version: 3.14.17 ENG
radio version: 4.16
protocol version: 32S54
my question is, is it advisable or necessary to upgrade my rom version to the new version found at 02 official site? i already downloaded it but i haven't installed it yet.
i've learned in the forums the golden rule that DON'T TOUCH THE RADIO VERSION AS LONG AS IT WORKS. so i will not ask bout the radio version anymore.
please help me...thanks!
if you can extract the ROM upgrade files only, then it's OK to go to any WM2003 ROM
my device is only WM2002. does it matter? is it ok to upgrade the ROM to the latest version 3.20.06?
I upgraded mine last night - there are a few subtle differences.

ROM 3.20 is PPC2002 not a WM2003 ... you can upgrade to 4.01.16 if you still want WM2003 ROM
Once again, don't touch the RSU!! ... play with the ROM only
thanks guys!
sorry guy's another question cause for everybody's info im just a newbie and i'm scared of messin up my phone. anyway, i've read problems with the synchronization or restoring data on the phone after upgrading the ROM here in the forums. will i just follow the steps given by myxda.com? or i really need to back up my ROM to an SD still?
sorry guys just wanna make sure. thanks!
it's strongly recommended to backup the current ROM to SD card ... I mean the backup option in the bootloader menu not the xbackup utility
Hi there....
I recently downloaded all of the 1.60.50 rom update from o2's website and went through all of the update process. However, when I look at the system it still ays its 1.60.00WWE.
Have I done something wrong?
I'll bet if you look at the extended ROM - IT IS version 1.60.50. This is usually the number they are referring to when they list ROM revisions.
Yep.... It is, my error
Anyone for humble pie?
I did this, when I already had the updated version on my XDAII!! I wrote to O2 about this but recieved no comment.
They should warn that you need to check which ROM version you have and what version you will end up with i.e. ROM 1.60.00WWE and extROM 1.60.50. I advised them that I risked frying my machine with an unneccessary up grade. As usual no response to this.
The lesson is ...
UPGRADERS BEWARE!!!

Hi this is my first post on this forum, I have read alot and i tried to run android on my HD2 but i found out that my radio was too low for the requirements.
My question is if I update my firmware from HTC itself... will it update my radio aswell? I don't know what rom to download from HTC as there are so many.
Here are some few details of my HD2:
OS Version: 5.2.21864
Manila Version: 2.5.19202525.0
ROM Version: 1.43.405.1 (70124) WWE
Rom date: 10/26/09
Radio Version: 2.04.50.22_2
Protocol Version: 15.26.50.07U
Flash size: 512mb
How can I run android on this phone and how can I get an official update as I have no trust in unofficial updates.
THANK YOU
its a regular hd2, or a telstra hd2. either way, none of the official updates for it contain a high enough radio for android..
where did people get the stock roms then? and whats the best way to get android on my phone by just running it on SD and how can i just patch just the radio and is it only the radio that needs to get patched?
they get stock roms from the thread in rom development called "leo official roms". but as i said, i'm pretty sure android needs a radio of 2.10.50 or so to work best, and the x.x.50 radios come from the tmous roms, so you would need to hspl to flash those radios..
your best option rather than asking here is to go read the android section. there are a few "how to"s in there will tell you all about it.

Hi, I am from India, just bought a new HTC HD2 and so far happy with it.
Haven't hacked/flashed any WM device before as never used one! Have some experience on hacking my PSP though So, thought of asking for some help from you experienced people
Well, here it goes:
Checked my device Software Information and it says:
_____________
OS version
5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila version
2.5.19211619.0
ROM version
1.48.720.2 (71294) WWE
ROM date
11/25/09
Radio version
2.05.51.05_2
Protocol version
15.28.50.07U
_____________
So, I assumed I have an old v1.48 ROM and checked HTC website, it says latest ROM is v1.66. Tried to download but says my device isn't supported and doesnt let me download. Checked through many threads and seen someone uploaded official ROMs on 4shared folder. Those seem to be upto v2.13 as well as v3.14.
So please let me know which is the latest version of Official ROM and which way do I update my HD2? Updating ROM will also update my Radio and Protocol and OS versions?? If possible, please link me
Also I would need some guidance on whether to install Android or try any custom ROM. Also, which is the best Custom ROM out there?? All I'd need is 1) Battery Life (Don't wanna sacrifice HTC Sense) 2) Image playback (As I'm a fashion photographer and need references for posing on location) 3) Facebook and bit of browsing and messaging.
Also, where to enter the registry tweaks?? How to open the registry editor??

3.14 is the latest, you can run android on this with no
other conditions like HSPL.
Updating to a Stock ROM will change your ROM and Radio only
updating to a custom ROM (with HSPL) will update only the ROM - most custom
ROMs dont include a Radio .nbh

with your conditions above, both Winmo (stock) and Android has its own advantages
and setbacks, but both are excellent when it comes to photography, you will
come to decide which is best for you only when you've tried both.
