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 folks,
I have an i-mate with the following specs:
ROM : 1.72.00WWE
Radio : 1.14.00
Protocol : 1337.24
Ext ROM : 1.72.800
After going through the numerous posts here, I am thoroughly confused. Can someone please clarify the following:
1. Is is better to upgrade to the new O2 ROM? If so which one, since I understand there are 2 versions.
2. If I do upgrade, there seems to be something called O2 active. Would this or any other settings hamper the usage of my phone since I live in India?
3. Can I have the procedure to do this upgrade?
My humble apologies if some of these questions have been answered before, but frankly, I am completely lost! :? Thanks a ton in advance.
Cheers!
Lakshman
Lakshman,
Will try to help you out once by compiling everthing from other threads:
1) There are 2 versions: (thanks to Nighthawk)
- v1.72.187 does not have Blackberry software built in. If you need to use a permanent GPRS connection that will remain connected when phone is used, you should use 187 version.
- v1.72.181 features Blackberry, will disconnect any connection when phone rings, except the Blackberry, Mobile Web and WAP connections. But so far haven't heard of any non UK O2 users able to use the Blackberry.
2) About 02 Active, i find it pretty but useless to non UK 02 users; therefore, once you upgraded your ROM it will prompt you for O2 Active Settings like Country, GPRS or GSM, just hit 'Cancel' and it won't install the GRPS or other network settings. You can still use the O2 Active but a lot of function will not be available for use in India. I removed mine.
3) Not too sure if your unit is CDL or O2 (info from HimaGetDeviceData.exe) but my upgrade was no issue at all; i just download from http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12515 and ran the upgrade. If you encounter country ID error, then you would have to refer to DCS's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12101
Hope this helps.

You mean I canot use my GPRS after cancelling and what other network settings are you referring to?
Can you elaborate? Thanks
:roll:
RE
Hi Lazzy,
Thanks to your input, I went through the upgrade successfully. Many thanks to DCS for his excellent step-by-step guide to fix country id errors.
I am now facing a curious problem. I downloaded the Appsuite for XDA II provided in one of the forums here. When I try to install the utilities I get an error on my PPC saying could not install, "please upgrade your ROM and try again!" But I believe I have the latest ROM now. Could someone please advise. :?

We are trying to sort this one out Hopefully someone will come up with an answer soon.
Hi guys,
thanks for running an awsom website...
I just want some clarification on this thread.
So it is okay to upgrade an i-mate with an O2 Rom such as v1.72.181 and is this the best ROM for devices such as the I-mate currently?
Anyone? please answer my previous question as I really want to upgrade...
bump..
As for the os and radio you can use any 1.72 / 1.17 rom.
The differencen between al the roms is in the extended rom and thus just a matter of functionality you want : choose anyone you like and use dcs' guide to upgrade.
thanks man, I appreciate it.
Re: RE live in Dubai - UAE, can I upgrade with this ROM
I live in Dubai UAE, can I upgrade my Imate with this ROM
Hi All
I have original Australian O2 ROM:
ROM Version: 1.66.00WWE
ROM Date: 02/20/04
Radio Version: 1.08.00
Protocol Version: 1337.18
ExtROM Version: 1.66.165
I also use the O2 Bluetooth head set which I would also like to keep using (I've noticed a few people having issues with some ROM upgrade versions)
Please could someone send me a link where I can download the most stable/updated ROM for my Australian XDA II.
Sorry for asking for links but I am so confused when trying to search for this, I never know what one to use and there are so many around.
I would also like to (IF POSSIBLE) get an upgrade ROM that is automated like O2 original ROM's, one EXE that extracts and does it all for you... no commands or lots of text to read though and try and work out how to do it all....
MANY THANKS!!!!!
Hope someone can help me out!

Best thing would be to download the UK one for Xda II, hack the device_ID on yours to make it look like a UK one.,,,,,
Thanks for the reply Southern_Man.
Does the UK one have the settings and profiles for Telstra Settings and all. Eg. When you do a hard reset it askes you to select your phone provider to set up the settings for that provider. I would have though it would have only had UK telco's as mine only seems to have Australian ones?
Does any one else have an easy upgrade path for the O2 XDAII for either Win2003 or Win2003SE... but I am looking for a stable version where every thing works that should... EG. Alarms, Bluetooth headset, Bluetooth GPS, Phone...etc..etc
Many thanks guys!

You're right, it only has the O2 UK settings. But imate have published a list of config cabs for most carriers which you can download and use.
Read the site, update your xda ii, open the extended rom (bit like a small hard disk) and load your own settings in.
You'll get a great deal of satisfaction, and a new way of using your gadget...
Hi Southern_Man
Thanks oncea again for the fast reply.
This version you are talking about I'm asuming it is Win2003 (same as the one I have currently?) is ther much diference that you know of?
Also where can I download all the required software (Rom, ID changer, Config Cabs..etc..etc) and instructions on how to get it all done?
In your opinion do you think it's worth the effort (as it is the same OS version? I am unsure what they have fixed etc..etc)
Thanks once again for your efforts.. Sorry I'm just not into the pocketPC stuff as much at the moment and I use it every day so don't want to stuff any thing up... want to double and triple check before I do any thing

ROM Upgrade
Downloaded the UK version and upgraded to 1.72.181 with no problems. Has been working fine and solved the SMS problem but still have Notes that won't open.
With the download all I needed to do was input the Imei number and it downloaded fine. Got it from the UK XDA site.
On flashing it did report one problem and then suggested that I disconnect, reconnect the device and try again. That was successful.
I can recommend this for anyone in Australia so far. :wink: The configuration to GPRS is different as autoconfig is removed but that was pretty simple really.
Also got the application updates from the site and found the voice dialler to be great so far. Fax facility not much use unless you're happy to pay all the fees to optus for the service.
Will consider the extended ROM upgrade to higher versions to see if I can solve the notes problem or may use the ROM unlocker to copy another file from an uncorrupted device.
Telstra config
The UK version was easily able to sort out the optus stuff and search for the network. I'm pretty sure it will do the telstra stuff no probs. Thats version 1.72.181 I'll check it right now to see although I don't have a telstra sim card....No Problems! Go to phone , options, network, click on manual selection, it will then search for all available networks and will pick up optus, telstra and vodaphone AU with no problems. No point in stuffing around with all the technical stuff!
Hi fairchiro
Thanks for the reply.
I have just tried to download the updates but it says my IME number is not valid or has already been registerd? I have registered it on MyXDA.com when I purchased the phone a few years ago, could this be my problem?
Do you know where else I can get a copy of this ROM? Also what is the Extended ROM update do? I though the updates updated every thing? (Eg. Radio, Extended, Rom...etc..etc) If not is there a copy of the ROM that updates all software on the PDA?
Also does any one know what is diferent between the UK and Australian version I am currently running?
I have original Australian O2 ROM:
ROM Version: 1.66.00WWE
ROM Date: 02/20/04
Radio Version: 1.08.00
Protocol Version: 1337.18
ExtROM Version: 1.66.165
Is there much point is just upgrading the ROM version if the others are also not updated?
Does this update fix or have a better battery life (when using bluetooth for example?)
Many thanks once again!
:lol:
FB
Hi Guys, also been reading around I'm not too sure what the diferences are between the two versions (Eg. Version I have and the UK updated version)...
Would it be better for me looking at upgrading to Win2003SE as there seems to be a few more features it offers? If so what is the best and esiest upgrade path to take... and the most stable (stability is what I am looking for!)

Microsoft seem to have a fairly consistent model, whereby it takes them 3-4 attempts to release a decent build of anything. AKU2 is their 3rd go at WM2003SE, and is actually pretty good. Fast, good battery and so on. Worth it for speed and stability.
When they are at AKU2 on Magneto, supposedly in the new year, then all those Windows Mobile 5 devices will be worth looking at (and cheaper too)
ROM Upgrades
Hi Fudgebum....sorry, bottom.
I don't think that the previous registration of your IMEI at myxda will be a problem because mine was registered there also.
The 1.72.181 upgrade will update your ROM, radio, and Extended ROM all at the same time.
Don't quote me on this but, I get the understanding that the extended ROM is one that is not quite essential to the basic running of the PDA. In other words you can play with it so that certain programs are included and certain ones are not. Hey but I'm still learning about all this stuff too. In this forum lots of guys, especially "zero" or is it "extremezero" or similar, seem to cook up their own versions of the extended ROM for personalizing aspects of the pda operation and available applications.
If you want to send me a personal message (see PM's above) then I can post you a cd with the ROM update on it or you should be able to download it at the UK site . Can't understand why you can't as long as you can input an IMEI. :?
Good Luck
Greetings,
Yesterday i upgraded my Hermes to WM6 from HTC website, everything went fine, but since i cannot recieve any calls but can call and everything else is fine, i'm new in this but here are more details:
Rom version : 3.54.256.2
Rom date : 07/06/07
Radio version : 1.47.00.10
Protocole version : 32.80.7020.20H
Ext. rom version : 3.54.256.103
I live in France and using Bouygues Telecom, i read on a french forum that the problem might be this radio version with Bouygues Telecom.
Are there any from France that have resolved this problem? is it easy to change the rom? and is there any guide on this great forum to learn how to do that?
thank you for your help!
Curious Jack
You can change just the Radio ROM part. What was your old radio version?
Here is the Radio Upgrade Only Wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
Unfortunally i did not check it out before upgrading to WM6, and i just installed version 1.50.00.00 and nothing has changed, i can call but when i'm called or it rings busy or its straight to answering box.
thanks!
Curios Jack
Hi,
if like me you are in France with Bouygues Telecom, here are the original versions (as I was looking for switching to WM6 and now I'm asking myself some questions...)
ROM : 1.18.256.2
Radio : 1.03.03.10
Protocol : 32.34.7010.01H
I hope it will help you get back to a working phone...
Regards
Try installing radio version 1.40.30.00.
I have a similar problem on the network I am currently on with radio 1.41.00.10 and any version higher so far.
I can summarize the problem I faced as follows - if there is a data connection active, then the phone will not be able to receive an incoming voice call, unless the caller keeps trying maybe like 5 to 10 times.
The network I am on now is DTAC in Thailand, using EDGE for data.
Once I downgraded to 1.40.30.00, even with an active data connection, the incoming voice call still came through.

I had a same problem after uprgaded my Vario II to WM06 HTC ROM. I could send/receive msg and call out, but not received any call
I tried these combination:
- Upgraded to WM06 HTC ROM and keep the original radio version (1.48): wouldn't work
- Upgraded radio version to 1.50: wouldn't work
Solution:
- Downgraded radio version to 1.41. My device fine now
My network:
- Vodafone New Zealand
Hope it help
Thanks for sharing ...
I solved my problem by downgrading one by one the first one that worked is the 1.41.00.10 so i will try it and see ...
What a relief ....
thanks again
CJ
thanks xupcua and glad to read that it works for you Curious Jack.
I think I'll wait this weekend before upgrading, I need my phone for work
Thanks to all for their help. Great job !
update done and all working good (at least for now...)
I've tried all radio versions from 1.51. The only one which works is 1.41. With others, no incoming calls.
Well, it definitely seems to be a Bouygues issue, as I am in the same situation.
Back with 1.41, I can call and receive calls, but no internet access ! Are you in the same case ?
Olpetit
Internet access through GPRS is working good.
Can't try Wifi as my Linksys wifi router just died 2 weeks ago and I'm back with a wired only Netgear router.
I will go and get a new Wifi router on saturday. I'll post my results then.

Hi guys,
I have installed radio rom 1.40 : the gsm works fine, Edge gprs too, but now i have wifi connection problem, its impossible to get connected ... i discovered that if i put the gsm off the wifi is connecting, but not with the gsm on
I dont know if its a radio rom problem or something else ...
CJ
hum if that's true I think I'll go back to radio 1.03 which was the radio I had when I bought my TyTn... and with which Wifi was working pretty good
Edit : I succeeded in connecting me to a neighbor wifi router (with his agreement). I was able to download GoogleMaps for mobile, load a few bitmaps, check my mail. All this with GSM on.
It may not be a radio relative problem. It needs more testing but my neighbor's wife said it was too late to continue
Hey All,
I am a user of HD2 since Jan last year.I am frequently facing issues on the Phone's performance due to the SMS UI and also by the Ohone hanging up abruptly and have to reboot 2-3 times to get it functional.
I had bought this phone in India from a grey market vendor which has T-Mobile's bootup Logo coming up.This is a phone which has been imported from UK and I had upgraded the earlier WinMo 6 to WinMo 6.5 using the ROM upgrade posted on the HTC UKs website.Currently I am running the WinMo 6.5 with the following :
OS Version : 5.2.21889(21889.5.0.87)
Manila Version : 2.5.20121429.0
ROM Version : 1.72..110.4 (86525) WWE
ROM Date :04/02/2010
Radio Version : 2.07.51.22_2
I need help in understanding which ROM version should i use to flash this and bring it to the latest software platform so that I can do justice to the investment on this phone.I have tried searching but since I am not very well versed with the flashing and understanding what to check before flashing any ROM i seek help from the senior members.
Cheers

The easiest way would be to flash your device with the latest stock rom. You have to go to htc website, select your device origin country, and search for ROM. The latest version of stock rom is 3.14 (yours is 1.72)
If you want to play with custom rom, you have to understand thoroughly about flashing. Check this very useful link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021837
Goodluck
I agree with the above post you would probably be better pleased with a custom ROM. But if you still want to flash a stock ROM and the HTC site will not let you download a 3.14 ROM for some reason then Flash HSPL 3.03 using HSPL 4 and go to this thread and you can download the 3.14 ROM you need from there. Click on my guide in my sig to learn how to install HSPL.
