Hi there,
my TC 500 with G4 chip and original (T-Com) ROM needs some extras.
My cellphone provider o2 has its own Rom, now the question: I heard there are two things, ROM and Extended ROM. Is it possible to keep my ROM and take some of the .cab files from the Extended Rom from O2 and simply install them?
Both Roms are german Roms, so I don't need to unlock cid (country id), right?
Or is ROM and Extended ROM the same? Some confusion here...
The thing I need is a "homezone symbol" that o2 uses in its *-Rom.
A last question, is it even possible to use the o2 rom from their downloadsource o2online.de because it's the same language???

I've upgrade my Orange M1000 with the i-Mate V1.72 ROM, with not problems whatsever. I'm now trying to apply the original V1.66 Orange Extended ROM, and no matter what I change the country code to its seems to generate the 'error incorrect country code'
Any ideas of what I should be using, is there a tool to display the country code ? I've tried 'Orange', 'ORANGE', 'i-mate', I-mate', 'i-Mate' etc etc.
The ROM is the Danish V1.66 Extended ROM, does anyone have or know where to find the UK Extended ROM?
Cheers
As far as I know downgrading is generally not recomended. Esecially for the radio version. Why do you want to downgrade???
I happy with the OS & radio being V1.72, but want the original Orange specific extended rom items. I'm therefore just trying to reload the extended rom only, this being V1.66.
If I try and reload the 1.72 extended rom ( ie the one that installed ) that complains about the country code as well.
Why not just load the files you want, why replace the extended ROM itself?
I understand (basically) the makerom idea but what I don't get is why you would want to put all the other programs available in the kitchen in ROM. do the run better there? or faster?
why we want to make own ROM is your question, right ?
Because your own ROM can put anything you want and remove everything that you don't need such as operator that you will never ever use.
the Second reason is when you have trouble to Hard reset without warning. Your device will comeback with program that you desire. Do not need to install everything again or need to wait until you back to home and restore from your computer.
That should be the reason that I try to make my owned ROM.
OK, so you are saying that if I load the programs into rom instead of ram that when I reset(hard) all programs are reloaded?
Do the programs work better or faster if they are in rom instead of ram?
yes. Surely right.!!!! all programs installed in the rom must access fater than any other ram no matter how fast your memory card is.
OK, but more stupid ROM questions
My unit was originally an unlocked German T-Mobile branded MDA.
I flashed it with an O2 UK ROM to get English.
I use it with T-Mobile US.
I don't need all the O2 apps.
Device info:
OS=USB 32 1.60.00 WWE
Device=PH10
Operator Name=O2
Language=WWE
Ext ROM version=1.60.50
Radio=1.10.00
I am unclear as to which base rom to pick in the rom kitchen http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
This one? 4.01.16 ENG. Isn't that rom for WM2003 for the T- MO pocket pc phone?
Should I use the ruu172126wwe_imate.exe, file version 4.1.100.1332 instead?
my head hurts
*** ATTENTION ***
ROM's from the ROM kitchen are only for XDA I not for XDA II.
Don't f**k up your device by trying to update your device with ROMs from the ROM kitchen.
Regards,
mark
maybe LumpiStefan should put some kind of warrning on his kicthen so people notice that it's xda1 only
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.
Hi
I have 1.60.00wwe dutch rom and "used to have" an extended rom v ???
I hard resetted the device and now there is no extended rom!
Is it okay?
BTW should i upgrade to 1.72 t-mobile?
Thanks
Have you tried to unlock the rom again, some version are invisible unless unlocked.
IF you forgot to lock the Extended ROM before hard-reset, contents is lost!
Always lock the Extended ROM after having worked on it.
I would advise upgrade. With my (dutch) T-Mobile version 1.72.901 (search to find) for instance
Hi dears,
which is the difference from Shipped rom and extended rom?
I'd like to buy an XDA trion from O2 and upgrade with Italian rom.
I saw there isn't available an Italian shipped rom, but there is Italian Extended rom.
Sorry, I'm new with Trion.
Best regards
Daniele

We call "Shipped roms" to full rom upgrades provided by operators or phone manufacturers, these upgrades contain the Operator logo, Radio ROM, Extended ROM, OS, etc..
Extended ROM is just a small partition on the device's filesystem, where the operator puts customization (programs as cab files, settings, skins, etc...). You can see how these customizations are installed in your device after a hard reset.

You cannot change the OS language with extended rom, you need a complete rom update to do it. And It is not possible yet as there are no complete (shipped) rom updates in italian. You'll have to wait until a italian operator or reseller releases it and someone uploads it to ftp site.
Thanks,
i have found this in Ftp/Clubimate site:
ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/JASJAM_WWE_1.20.305.3_1.20.305.104_1.07.03.10_ship.zip
on this wonderfull forum.
Do you think It will be good for me?
Best regards

This is an english rom (WWE). It will work on a trion, but will update it to english, not to italian.
You can find all the available rom upgrades (including this one) in the xda-developer's wiki:
