Hi,
I have a problem wtih my HPC and would like to c if anyone can help.
Problem description:
After Upgrading the Rom from I-Mate's webpage to 1.66WWE the GSM phone has serious problems (seems very week).
I purchased my phone in the middle east and it had an older ROM version (Am not sure but it probably was 1.52 I am sure the radio was older than 1.10 but not sure which version I suspect it was 1.03.
When I first arrived here in the US it was working fine with AT&T cingular and T-mobile. Reasonable reception and stability.
Then I stupidly decided to upgrade the roms from i-mate's webpage and I started facing problems. Now the phone either can't find the network or sees a very very week signal.
More annoyingly when It tried to downgrade it to the older version on imate's webpage it refused to downgrade the radio version and kept it at 1.10.00.
My questions:
1. Any idea where I can find an older version of the radio rom s/w so I can get my GSM phone working?
2. Any ideas what I can do to upgrade to the 1.66WWE and the 1.10 radio and still have them work here in the US?
as it is now my settings are:
ROM version 1.52.00WWE (was 1.66 for while)
ROM date 10/29/03
Radio version 1.10.00
protocol version 1.337.18
ExtROM: 1.52.114
HELP!
Husain
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.
I sucessfully upgraded to WM2003SE according to the guide on this forum.
WM2003SE run great on my XDAII. However, I have noticed a problem on the bluetooth headset (H810).
I can pair with my headset. There is no problem on dialing and the sound route to the headset.
THe only problem is when I'm receiving a call from someone. I can only hear one "beep" from the headset. That's it. eventhought I press the button on the headset. it won't connect .....
It seem that it's not connect to headset when receiving a call
Does any one have this problem ?
please list out which version of win2k3 SE
you r talking about 8)
Here is the version
2.06 (OS)
1.18 (Radio)
Ex-ROM (2.XX.100a)
Can anyone help me out ?
did you try version 2.02ti
& 2.20 ? :twisted:
did you try with no EXT ROM, flash 2.06 ? with your BT headset?
I just try the ROM 2.20 CHT.
It's Prefect... Bluetooth works as it is.
Haven't try 2.02t yet.....
I also try 2.06 and without running any CAB from Ex-ROM. The result is still the same.
Is it bluetooth on ver 2.06 isn't working.... or just happen to be me only ?

I m sure 2.20 CHS (no CHT at this moments) is working fine, cause I read alot of post saying very good with BT, most of them say can see caller id show up in BT headset.....
2.06 ... I saw few got no problem with them but not sure the same model or not, but however, I know one things, I did tested 1 of the motorola one before, which is not working in normal o2 xda 1.6x WWE, then I try another one same model , but work
the 1st one I test is a old stock, so I think the new one got latest firmware/softawre or whatever inside
Hi, I am having a problem same as Simon too, I just upgraded to 2.06, did not try other version !
I am also using the Motorola HS810.
Where can I down load the Chinese 2.20 version ?
Does it selectable to englist wording ?
I heart it better then v2.02 & v2.06 !
This thread just to try to give a reference to MBW-150 (and similar products) owners using the following applications to get notifications from their watch:
SmartwatchM from Moneytoo
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362218
or BTWatch by Pcfixitman (where are you guy?)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1960856
I would like to focus on battery drain problem on the watch which apparently is caused by the X7500 bluetooth stack on the new WM6 system.
While with most of WM6 phones the two applications grant a watch's battery life which is higher than 1 week, it seems that with WM6 X7500 can't beat 12 hours impairing the use (at least for someone).
The problem seems not to be tight to anything but to the stack (headset/ headphone independent)
I'd like to expand/correct the following list I collected thanks to previous/various posting and personal experience also to include the new and very promising released ROM and hopefully find an MBW friendly stack.
Also an indication from the cookers themselves stating the stack on which their ROM is based would be very helpful to let us raise the awareness.
To have the picture (yet if it should not be the problem) also RADIO version should be interesting.
WM6 ITA ROM: 2.21.408.1 + RADIO: 1.50.00.00 (max 11h)
WM6 ITA ROM: 2.21.408.1 + RADIO: 1.57.00.00 (max 13h)
AP touch, RADIOS 1.38, 1.50, 1,57 (less than 13h and problems with SE headset)
AP 3
WM6.1 UltraVanilla from Irus ROM: 2.35.110.2 + RADIO: 1.57.00.00 (max 13h)
WM6.1 MichyPrima 1.60F RADIO 1.57 (max 13h)
MichyPrima 5.1 - SPL 1.2 and SPL 3.5 (reported by madbird)
WM6.5 MichyPrima Multilang R1 Clean Edition (reported by gtm55)
WM5 WWE ROM 1.25.405.2 + RADIO 1.38 (14 days!)
AP 4.0 reported to last for days with RADIO 1.57
AP 5.0 OK
WM6.1 Taxist Ultra Lite ROM (athe_wwe_4.as.tx_wm6.1_b19949.1.2.0) reported more than one week (gtm55)
WM6.1 Taxist Ultra Lite (SPL 1.2 from Irus) registered on com:9 (14 days!)
WM6.1 Irus 0MB pagepool (latest loopfixed) based on Sogarth ROM, up to now more than 24h & full bar (my fav! EVERYTHING working! Apart from MMS not included)
..
Apart from the WM5 ROM it seems that ROM based on the 7510 ROM do not have the drain issue!
Cooker please consider it in cooking new ROMs!
AP touch, radios 1.38, 1.50, 1,57 Battery last around 12Hours and give me problems with My SE headset
AP4 radio 1.57 battery last a lot ( no bother to time it)no problems with my headset or disconnections.

Thanks PBL1,
you confirm that AP4 is OK regarding the watch.
Any different experience with AP4?
Any ROM based on the same BT stack of AP4?
Updated.
Anyone who whants to share his expericence on the latest Mychiprima, Sogarth's or Irus's ROMs?
I tried few irus/taxist/sorgaths/my own roms and each one that I tried tops 13h. I'm using now latest radio 1.58 without effect

So the last hope stands with AP4.
Any ROM with same stack from AP4?
Any cooker who wants to try with AP4 bt stack on his new release?
latest taxist ultra lite is ok: 7 days battery life both mbw-100 and mbw-150 watches
michy uses same bt stack as irus so: 10 h battery life
I mostly used newest taxist ultra lite rom but 13h is still my best time, MBW150.
Do you use some specific configuration - COM port / etc ?
Any headset attached to phone with watch?

port- 9
headset- jabra bt8010
rom- athe_wwe_4.as.tx_wm6.1_b19949.1.2.0
If I remember correctly, AP4 team were having trouble with bluetooth while building the rom, whatever they did to solve the problems did the trick at least for my and my mb150.
my watch can connect at port 9 and port 0, I use port 0 because when I set the bluetooth communication as btwatch users probably know Athena report error and you just ignore the message ......etc, all explained in installation procedures anyway, but in port 0 when Athena ask for the bluetooth password second time, I just input it and there it goes( no error message second time), it doesn't seem to be any difference in functionality either port, but in port 0 installation feels just as it should be.
Anyway my Athena is dead so I'm looking for either a replacement or a better one, very frustrating because HTC only did manage to produce the 7510 after what more than a year from the original Athena?, and on new devices the iTOY with the apple thing goes at silly prices at ebay and the rest of the new bunch does not seem to be any better than our dear old Athena, perhaps the omnia does the trick Well see
Regards
Thanks for all of the report.
Any other experience about Sogarth, I'm courious so yet if reported to be short on batteries it'll be my next try then I'll report.
If no luck with it I thing I'll go for Taxist Ultra Lite 1.2

Thanks GTM55!
Updated together with latest personal testing.
Any positive experience with Sogarth ROMs?
... up to now my experience is bad as I had customization loop (with spl 1.2) and no netcf program was able to launch (included smartwatch!)
I finally resolved issue with watch - using multiple days and still shows full battery charge
1) master reset the watch
2) pair watch from smartwatch software
3) select COM9 and register COM port
4) soft reset
works great using latest taxist ultra lite ROM SPL 3.5

Good to hear!
Hi Karmarok
Just one correction in post 1 , I never posted short battery in taxista rom I never tried, the honour goes to miletb, since that now its corrected I think Taxista rom can be added to the list of MBW friendly roms and if no body reports otherwise, also AP4.
Well that's something, two roms is better than none,and since I now have back a Athena I may try taxistas for a change either is back to AP4, it was very good in my old Athena.
lol im dog tired, hope i dont mess it flashing and unlocking.

Thanks for the correction PBL1! I messed up the reports!
I would suggest to try latest Irus/Sogarth room 0 mb with fixed loop!
For me is a winner!
Video call enabled
GPS photo working
Works with voice command and media player (fixed)
fast
device on on hardware keyboard attaching
no hiss on ad2p streaming (apart in the beginning)
gsen works
no headset disconnections on calls (while mbw disconnects and reconnects randomly on calls)
GREAT!
