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?

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.

I have no idea about your ROM (bootloader 1.06, am i alright??)
My friends in Jakarta said A LOT of problem about this device if upgrade to 1.72 ROM !!!
They want to sell it !!!
i hope you are lucky with your device.
maybe.. the others.. can help ???.

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.
Hi,
on Christmas i got a MDA II.
I started reading a lot but yet im a bit unsure where to start with.
My current system is:
T Mobile MDA II
ROM: 1.03.00 GER
Date: 09/25/03 (seems to be quite an old one, huh?)
Radio: 1.05.12
Protokoll: 1337.12
I already know there is a 1.72 Rom update from t-mobile out, which is probably the first thing i should "install".
The next thing i am curious about is WM2003SE. I noticed a lot of people seem to use it here, so what's the advantage to the current system? Will the english version mix up any German programms? WM2005 on the other Hand seems to be a bit buggy on the Himalaya?
Im going to use my MDA for Navigation with a BT Mouse, will upgrading on 1.72 + WM2003SE fix the Bluetooth issue?
Any other hints on "must have's" tool, software, updates?
Thx for any advises.
Hi, I also have the VPA 2 (the same like yours just from Vodafone).
At first I also had the original Rom from Vodafone. After a while I testet WM2003SE, which is much more stable then the older one. Bluetooth is also working better, no need of Bluetooth Tools anymore. The only bad thing is that its on englisch , but that is ok. It doesn't change your other Programms, when they are german they will stay german.
WM 2005 is also not bad, but not all the software is working there.
PS: For navigation use TomTom 5, its really great, and especially the warning Function of Points of Interest is great.

Hi Björn,
welcome to XDA-Developers.com (Herzlich Willkommen, es ist immer schön jemanden Neues aus Deutschland begrüßen zu dürfen)!! If you're looking for 3rd party programs, have a look here:

If you're looking for the T-Mobile 1.72.170 ROM upgrade, go here:
http://www.t-mobile.de/software/1,8454,7483-_,00.html
Which provider are you using your MDA II with? I'm using mine with E-Plus but am having problems with the GPRS settings. Entering them manually doesn't really work.
Thx for the links.
Actually, i don't really use any provider. I hardly used any mobile phones, so i only had an vodafon prepaid card. However i am currently looking for a well-priced option to use internet with my pocket pc.
@da4walker: Which WM2003SE build are you using?
IN Device Information there is shown: 2.20.07CHS (but its englisch)
Build from the 09/17/04
It's working really good, thats why I didn't try any other version
cu
The 2.20.07 translated SE ROM is the fastest and most stable SE rom for Himalaya imho.
You might want to try my cooked rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39938
Its just the 2.20.07CHS and 1.18 radio but with a generic ExtROM.
Advantages f this rom above the 1.72 or 1.75 non-SE roms are Intellidialer, Landscape, again better BT support (although with 1.72 you did not need those BT Tools anymore too)
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

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

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!

You mean to downgrade not to decrease So, if it is a "virgin" phone you first have to unlock it than look for a WM 5.0 OEM firmware, there are a lot of links in one topic, just search for it.
Is there any WM 5.0 for Nike?
downgrade
ok
it is not virgin
if I have WM 6.5 ROM which is running only with specific radio can I change it to see the diference
because my real problem is poor gsm signal
and one more
if want to install WM 6.5 ( beta of course
do I have to downgrade from WM 6.1 to 5.0
@vcdwelt yes, there is a WM5 version for Nike 100, mine comes with this (from Orange)
@ciawarhater if the radio reception quality is your problem, you don't have to install another OS, most of the cooked versions doesn't contain a RADIO firmware, so you have to look only for another RADIO and keep the existing OS. From what I read version 1.65.28.25 is the best original RADIO for Nike (good reception and the best power consumption). You can get this RADIO if you flash an OEM WM6 which comes with this RADIO built in. Look for this version RUU_Nike_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.1_Radio_NikeMR_1.65.28.25_signed_Ship.exe. You can also try other RADIOs to see which one is the best for your needs.
mishu
@mishu
ok thanks
but if I have WM 6.1 and want to flash another WM 6.1ROM do I have to downgrade to 5.0 first??
or just install another ROM ??
maybe this is stupid question but I am newbie and don't want to crash my Niki
You said that your phone is already "prepared", I mean it is not virgin. Is it HardSPL? If it is you can write any other ROM, cooked or OEM. If it is not, search for the topic how to unlock your phone then you can start playing with ROMs. DO NOT ATTEND TO FLASH ANOTHER ROM WITHOUT UNLOCKING YOU PHONE! Good luck! Only the first time is difficult, second time is always better!
ok
yes
I allready did HardSPL and SIM&CID unlock
so now can I flash any ROM ??
I mean even WM5 if I have WM 6.1??
or WM 6.5
yes, you can, even Android if you like!
