Can anyone share with us information on version 1.72 for XDA2: features, benefits, pros, cons... ?
Is worth upgrading from O2 1.60 ?
thanks
There are allready many threads on this.
But to conclude:
If you don't have any issues with your current version: stay with it.
You might consider 1.72 (the Qtek or iMate versions, NOT the T-Mobile beta) especially when:
1. You need certain Bluetooth options (ie serial port protocol) and don't want to mess around with hacks or extra 'tools'
2. Battery life is important
For me these points were enough to DO the upgrade (coming from 1.63 T-Mobile NL). And very happy with it.
Keep in mind that (unless you find a 1.72 from your own operator) you will have quite some work with getting all the customisations right.
One of these days I will post a good working set (no issues in a month holiday!!) of customisations to be used as a an extended rom for T-Mobile NL
i'm currently using the T-Mobile ROM v1.72WWE had no problem with it. the batt life was improved noticeably. I was using the O2 ROM v1.66WWE
as for my bluetooth i'm using the widcomm BT-PPC/PE v1.0.0 build 1400. no problems with it except that it turns off whenever i set my phone to standby mode.
downlaod
i have a qtek 2020 with rom 1.66 and it is doing a lot of problem which version is better and where can i download it

phone, gprs, activesync, run program, MS BT stack, sms, mms ........are running well. (maybe i am lucky with it)

many thanks to [Krueger] Dr. Stein, mamaich, itsme, edsub...
you are great man.
Most of the post regarding ROM Salads and customizations are beyond what I wish to perform on my device. To dat I have only loaded T-Mobile ROM upgrades that required nothing more than loading them automatically. I currently have the T-Mobile U7K Beta on my MDA II.
Can someone please explain the following:
1. Is there another T-Mobile 1.72 WWE available that I can load, non-beta?
2. I see other Custom ROMs on this site that state T-Mobile. Can I simply load those automatically or will I have to get into country ID, .nbf files, etc?

Official T-Mobile
Hi. Gratefuled
maybe this can help you : :?: :?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=11169
ajong,
Thanks for the link. I have looked at that page/thread, but I think what I want is still not available.
I'm looking for an official T-Mobile 1.72 ROM, si I can get rid of the 1.72 Beta, or I'm looking for someone's custom ROM that I can load just like I could an official one. In other wors the custom I suppose would be ok, but I do not want to mess around with opeing the ROM and disecting and changing certain settings. Like I say, it just may not be out there.

thank's
Hi all,
I'm a newbie here and want to upgrade my rom which is
1.60.00WWE,
radio 1.06.01,
ext rom 1.60.06,
I am using Turkcell as my gsm operator (Turkey) and my settings are for . Turkey. I downloaded a rom file in the forums named o2 1.72wwe. Is it just for the o2 users or does it support my gsm provider?
Any help would be appreciated,
dr_kaan
BTW: I bought the T-mobile XDA2 from a guy in Istanbul. He told me the original rom was German t-mobile rom. The rom i'm using now is Dutch.
you can do everything with your ROM, because you allways can recover by sd card, but never touch RADIOSTACK.
sorry... but that's nonsense...
On the XDA2 the radiostack will upgrade together with the rom and the ext-rom for all rom's higher than 1.60.
Explicatly people ruined their machine because the removed the radiostack file from the upgrade...
As usual... if you don't have problem's don't upgrade...
For me 1.60 ROM is still one of the best.
I go with that, I also have the dutch rom, and so far, it has been the most stable one, I upgraded from the german Rom.
The dutch one is a really recomandable
Thank you guys i will continue with it.
The reason i wanted to upgrade was a friend of mine told me that the new rom extended the battery life.Is that true?
One more question, will we be able to upgrade to wm2003 se?
Thanks
i think so,
i have tried my device from full capacity (100%) till 7%, i have 05.12 hours.
condition :
browsing & using excell, (no mp3, movie & game).
yes, we will, if SE come out from our provider.
My phone is crashing twice a day now with a basic out of the box install from o2 and it's the second phone I have had.
I want to try 'anything' to fix this as the phone is close to going in the bin.
Can someone tell me where to find a ROM upgrade and anything else I can apply to my XDAIIi?
Thanks loads
Details are as follows:
ROM 1.10.00 WWE
Rom date 12/24/04
Radio 1.00.00
Protocol 1337.39
ExtROM 1.10.124 WWE
Model PH10C
Have you tried running the phone as a corporate user instead of the O2 plus?
Hard reboot-choose corporate-enter 0506
CB
i am using it as corporate ... i have the same problem .. crashing a lot!!
if their is a ROM update it migth help!
If anyone knows anyhting.. plz let us know!
Hi guys,
I don't know...why there is so much of fuss about 2i unnecessary.I hv been using it now for more than two weeks, asian ROM, in India with 512 SD, and all the popular programmes.Mine has never crashed for a singlre time, and for Asian ROM, there is no corporate mode also.
I hv also found the camera quality very very good... and I am really liking the phone...with Turbo mode and other things...
I don't know why there is lot of fuss people are speaking here thereby discouraging all to buy the one for themselves...
xda rom
i am not trying to discourage people using the xda....it's a great bit of kit WHEN IT WORKS!!!!
maybe your asian rom is newer better or whatever.
all i know is i have had two xda IIi and they both have the same fault.
no other software is loaded other than the base set of apps....and now even in corporate mode i have the same issue (though perhaps less...)
re: XDA IIi ROM
You can download the 'shipped' ROM 1.10.124 from O2's web site... http://www.my-xda.com/xda2i_soft.html
:lol:
Connections plugin
Is there a file called "connections" in /windows/startup?
If so, move it somewhere else and reboot.
You'll lose the O2 logo from the top of the screen, if you can live with that.

does this still have the gawdy telstra boot-up screen?
This is the old Telestra rom date: 09/08/06 and which is available on the xda-developers ftp.
No new i-mate roms since then and it has the Telestra boot screen.
yes it's an old ROM but it doesn't have the Telstra boot screen.. well mine doesn't.

I Had This Rom From The Day I Bought My Jasjam

Its Bad Rom Its Stack Allot And Very Very Slowly Many **** Inside
So I Update To Htc 1.35
I Think Its The Best
Im From Israel And All The Phones Came With This Rom
The Extended Rom Full Of Many Stuff Thats Make It Slow
Not Reccomand
Well, I have been using this Rom for 2 days now and have to report it is my favourite so far. No hang ups, no lost GSM or UMTS - no reboot needed so far.
Blackberry works flawlessly, and the whole phone feels faster..
install with confidence
It may be better than what you had, but the point is that it's not new.
My replacement JASJAM, which I received two months ago, already had this version installed.
i purchased my jasjam last week of december, and since it had the arabic rom, it was outdated. So i just upgraded to this and device is more stable now.
but i think i might switch to the cingular rom next week.
other rom
is there cooked roms for the hermes?
problem with new rom jasjam
i see every thing work very good with new rom
but when i make phone call the sound not clear i hear little noise
its not clear as it was
anybody got the same problem????
i have new rom with radio 1.27
and somthing else is plz!
is there in the wiki or somewhere that you wrote whats the diffrent between the regular aku to the aku 3.3 because i see only speed is good
nothing else cause i dont know what need to be change
Read this page on differences between the AKU levels.
New i-mate ROM?
I-mate seem to have an updated ROM avaliable and I was wondering if anyone has tried it and their thoughs on it.
Main Rom the same 1.31.305.2
Radio updated to 1.21. .... from 1.20
ExtRom updated to ... .104 from 103
I'm not a cooker - happy to stay with std ROMs (I burn water when I try to boil it).
This is the best ROM till now. Has some issues but better than the WM-6, WM-5 Qtek, etc. Need an urgent small polished upgrade from I-mate and this will be the best ROM with speed and all else perfect.

Which version of I-mate if it is Telstra I cannot use it as we do not have that network here.
I check everyday on the wiki site but I-mate does not have any new version.
Please can you tell me whether you are telling about WM-6 other versions or the official version. If so please guide me to the exact location for the newer version.
since i've got HD2 i have been tryng lots of combinations for radio and rom
but nothing works fine.. poor signal, data keeps droping and changing a lot..
does anyone know what configuration is best to use with vodafone uk? (my sim card is new)
ROM:Artemis 41.0 WWE (02/11/2010)
RADIO: 2.12.50.02_2
2.08.hspl
thanks!!
hi Ch,
sorry but there is no such animal as 'the best.........etc'
depends on too many factors - most specifically - your location in UK.
i live near Axminster, Devon & have tried dozens of combi's.
currently (check sig) works for me - radio version 2.15.50.14 is miles ahead of all others (up here in the hills).
keep flashing - it will come right - promise. HD2 is a superb m/c.
I have to agree, Ive found 2.15 radio best so far battery not amazing but it more than makes up for it... other than that I am using 2.10 as in my sig.
Basically I have come to the conclusion that Vodafone sucks, its not the radio its F***ing Them! They used to be really good but I think their network is running on economy or something.
I'll be moving to O2 when my contract runs out.
@ osrix
+1 on that.
o2 is also coming my way soon.
edit: better change 1st part my sig. lol
Dude, I think your problem might be that you are using Artemis ROM v41 with HSPL2.08.
If you read the Artemis ROM thread, all versions after v37 (so v40, v41, v42) are built from the new SPL 3.14 base.
There are reported memory issues when using these later Artemis ROMs with HSPL2.08 and it is recommended to use the stock ROM 3.14 SPL.
Unfortunately if your phone is a Vodaphone, 02 or T-Mobile UK branded HD2 there is not a stock ROM v3.14 available yet. (no-one seems to know if they are planned).
If you read the Artemis thread you have a couple of options:
1.) Flash v40/v41/v42 using the Goldcard method to "rebrand" your phone to orange/HTC
2.) Use Artemis v37 which will work fine with HSPL2.08 (this is what I'm currently using & its working fine)
after a goldcard boot method running an official rom, phone stucks 0% on cooked
I got a gold card and have flashed an official leo 3.14 rom using the boot method pressing buttons..
but now, when I try to flash an artemis from gold card or usb the process gets stuck on 0%!!
now there..
spl 3.03........
(WWE) 3.14.405.2
Radio: 2.15.50.14
Manila: 2.5
vodafone uk - still
**android works fine with this official rom but i want other.. should i come back do 2.08 spl??thx
Hi Guys,
I am also with Vodafone UK, using their official Stock ROM 1.72 and having same/like problems you have indicated. I live in Manchester and even so don't have a decent signal at home. At least they gave me their Sure Signal unit to boost my home reception.
I was with O2 before moving to Vodafone (bcz they at had that time the best price plan for a free HD2 handset) and regret the day. O2 has a much better network and a fantastic Customers Service. I was lucky to be on one of the last 12 months contract Vodafone offered so in 3 months time I would be back with O2!
