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

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?

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.

Hi. I'm very new to the XDA II, just received mine this morning, previously had an SPV E200. I've just tried to register on myxda.com so that I could download the rom updates but it keeps saying I am enetering an invalid IMEI number and therefore I can't register to gain access to the site. Is there any other way of getting the ROM updates and also which is the best Rom to update too. I am wanting to unlock the phone to all netwroks and use with a bluetooth headset and bluetooth gps receiver.
Thanks In Adavnce
P.S. Im in the UK and on the O2 network
The official O2 Rom update can be found at the developers Source O2 site:
http://www.sourceo2.com/O2_Developers/Devices/O2_Xda_II/XdaIIRom.htm
The current version is 1.60.50
I would guess that this is the version you probably have already installed.
There are a number of unofficial ROM updates which could be installed on your XDAII, these can be found searching this forum. The latest ROM version which you could install is the i-Mate 1.72.00.
Before attempting to install any new version I would suggest that you read the following post by dcs which hopefully would help you avoid the common pitfalls of upgrading:

Hi
Imate has 2 update roms 1.20 WWE and 1.31 WWE Telstra.
can anyone tell me whats the difference between both, as iam thinking of flashing my device with either.
thanks
One is the english rom for all i-mate owners and the Telstra one is for Telstra Australia, it has all the Telstra setting and programs for their network, that is the rom I have as I bought my Jasjam from a Telstra shop. As for persific differences I am not sure as I don't have the other one to compare.
Your best to flash with the one that doesnt have bootloader 1.07 as I did this now im stuck and cant change my ROM .... there is nothing wrong with the Telstra ROM I am in the UK and its working fine with no issues ..... quite quick also ... its up to you but just remember once you have a 1.07 bootloader you cant change !until the other manufacturers put out ROM's with bootloader 1.07 as your device is CID locked
Tanks a lot guys, guess ill stick with the 1.20 WWE for now as i'll get many options
thanks again
A new english ROM for the Hermes has been uploaded to XDA-Developers ftp:
version: 1.21.116.4
radio: 1.05.02.00
CID: T-MOB007
BootLoader: 1.06
language: WWE
Download link and ROM details posted on the wiki shipped complete updates page.
ruu_hermes_tmhu_1.21.116.4_1.05.02.00_wwe_ship.exe
Please note this is from T-Mobile Hungary (CID T-MOB007) and not from T-Mobile UK, and it has bootloader 1.06 on it.
Thanks to the person who uploaded it!
Enjoy!
Hungarian ROM in the UK
Bought my vario 2 on e-bay and it did not come with a CD I have called up T-mobile and they wont give me one. When I switch on my phone it says "test only not for sale"...I basically looking to reinstall the t-mobile uk rom hoping that it will removed this message but can not find it anywhere. Is this Hungarian ROM going to work on a uk phone ? Are the GPRS & 3G settings the same ?
I am clueless any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
I guess you got a preproduction hermes version with a super cid and 300mhz processor...just look in the hermes wifi in preproduction section...and you will get all of ur answer....
Hi,
Has anyone tried to install this ROM yet? Is it in English?
Thanks
Msuk
Yea did someone already test this ROM ??
It should be in English, given that it has WWE in its title.
Very interesting. The very first T-Mobile Hungary ROM that has ever hit the internets.
(T-Mo Hu never releases ROMs... if you want an upgrade, you have to take it to the service and let them do it... they still sell their Wizards with AKU 1.1.1 ROMs)
Update works
Updated my Dutch T-Mobile MDA Vario II (2).
Took some time, first made Super CID and SIM lock free.
After upgrade the regional settings are indeed Hungarian but the ROM itself is English.
Thanks Y'all!
I've just updated my (I think is the right term) rom using
RUU_HERMES_HTC_WWE_1[1].35.255.2_1.35.255.102_1.08.00.10_SHIP.
Now the installation was fine but some of the original setting on the t-mobile rom are missing, like the quick launch 'running program' button on the screen, the 3g connection symbol as well as a few quick launch icon that use to be at the top of the main screen ' web & walk , contacts, notes. These have all disappeared, is there a way of getting the t-mobile vario 2 setting back or at least a way of configuring the keys to how it was with t-mobile. I think what i've currently got is the HTC original rom hence the HTC logo when I now turn the phone on.
just wondered how this rom compares to "HTC South Africa Version: 1.35.255.2" ??

I was looking everywhere for T-M UK Rom but but no result.
Is there anyway we can extract the ROM from any T-Mobile HERM device and flash it to our HERM.

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.

No... 1st splash screen is HTC innovation, second is Imate.
so any ups to installing this rom>
I Had This Rom From The Day I Bought My Jasjam
From 1 Month Ego
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.
