Hi, I have a pda2k and am trying to work out which is the best Rom version to upgrade to. I have tried to work this out from the wiki and other posts but am still unsure, and am slightly nervous! I also cannot find many posts from other people who have upgraded pda2ks.
The versions I am currently running are below.
ROM Version: 1.12.22
Extended ROM version: 1.12.169
Radio Version: 1.02.00
Is this latest Imate rom (i-mate_PDA2k_WWE_12200_162_10600_SHIP.exe) the best one to install or would something like the 1.33 Siemens rom be better (would it work on this device)?
Thanks
Pda2k rom upgrade
A new rom upgrade is available at www.clubimate.com.
Thanks Junie, the rom I refer to in my post is the latest English rom on the clubimate website. I was wondering if that was the best one to install.
Well Wiki says that the highest is the imate 1.31 (Arabic) with radio 1.06.02 and cooking your own exteneded rom.
It does not tell you how to use the siemens rom as nobody has posted to the "List of know Blueangel, sold as, Model ID, Operator code ect" thread.
But you can read that siemes thread to work it out.
Wiki does tell you how to fix the probem of lack of a camera with the siemens rom if you went that way.
thanks mda. I think I am going to go with the 1.22 imate rom with my own extended rom.
Don't forget the 1.33.10 upgrade from the SX66 Update made possible for PDA2K by mamaich! I used that plus the Camera reinstate CAB file I made and my PDA2K nicely. I am now getting proper voicemail notification icons on Cingular's network.
Yes, I have been looking at that. One thing I noticed is that there is no ms_.nba. This means that the fix.bat gives me errors. Is this normal?
The mamaich hack version is only the os, this is due to the fact that the ext rom is someting that you should cook your self and that the radio is outdated.
The original rom was made with the new encription, mamaich! reboxed it so that it would work with the tools.
I too have a PDA2K and am running the 1.33.110 WWE Siemens rom with 1.06.02 radio from the qtek rom, and I applied the Wlan patch, the 3900 build upgrade, and the camera patch, and all is well.I get good b/t range now (25ft) and the wifi does not disconnect me.I just put on the O2 plus cab too,and it seems to be alright.I like the Icons,but it does slow the unit down a little sometimes.

Please tell me which Bluetooth headset works best with your PDA2K. We have matching versions on everything, but I can't get more than 3 feet line-of-sight away from my PDA2K with my HS810 or my Meritline Bluetooth headset. Almost makes me think the BT on this phone is useless.
ok, flashed the siemens bios with radio. works great and was much easier than I thought!

Nice setup you have there, BeyondtheTech...!
How do you like your system at the moment? Is this setup working for you and is the iMate stable? If so, would you mind uploading your CABS, so I can play with them as well?
As far as BT, I upgraded to 3900, was not satisfied, BT headset got worse. Then I bought a new headset (Logitech, BT supporting version 1.2), downgraded to 3500, applied the patch, and all seems ok now.
Hope that helps ya!
I am using a Motorola HS820. I was using a jabra,but it sucked! I got my radio from the Qtek 1.22.167 WWE rom.It seemed to be better than the radio in the 1.22.557 rom for some reason. It is very stable now.
At about 15ft the b/t starts to get a little bit of static,but is clear enough to use easily. At 25ft you are at the end of you're USABLE range,tho!
Hope this helps......Later

I would love to try your solution!
Did you install the complete 1.22.167 WWE ROM or did you extract the radio.nbf and replaced it with the one on your OEM ROM?
I had been using the 1.22.167WWE Qtek Rom w/1.06.02 when the Siemens Rom came out,so the radio was the easy part. The rest,I read and got alot of help.....LOL

So, we have to wait for somebody to re-upload it ^^
hi everyone
I have an unbranded, never been locked, K-JAM
I recently installed the ROM from the clubimate site without problems
K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship
IPL/SPL - 2.16.0001 (G4?)
ROM: 2.16.9.1 WWE
Radio: 02.07.10
EXTROM: 2.16.9.101
the RRU during the upgrade showed 2.5.2
Every cooked ROM i try i get errors ranging from read errors, wrong RRU or the EXTROM/ Radio upgrades but not the OS.
As a bit of a noob, could someone please outline what ROMs i can install and how to install them
many thanks
You have a G4 device like me, try my cooked rom. It has the latest OS and Radio 2.26/2.25, extended rom also contains some extra programs like NoviiRomte deluxe 4.0, will definitely work on your device.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Wizard/Roms/Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii+CF2.rar
thanks Wlove
Worked perfectly and seems quicker
If you ever put together a 3.2 based ROM then I'll certainly be interested
that's a nice idea. I will give it a go.
I lost my original radio 2.44.11 (DIGITEL Venezuela) after a blackout while flashing a wm6 rom. I've installed wizard love rom & then upgrade to WM6 again . now my radio version is 2.25.11 (wizard love) but i have big problems w/Internet confection. If any body could post this radio please....
Hi all,
I'd like to start a thread concerning Radio GSM updating. (For Wizard G3)
Which Rom's are available and what are the experiences.
How to update and which tool to use to update.
The aim is to gether the information instead of fragmented in many threads.
(I spend many ours on this forum and found lots of info, but not so much about the Radio GSM ROM, furthermore when you use the search function you might end up in the wrong thread)
I hope all the cookers and engineers will post and many users will react with there experiences.
What's your radio. You should up radio Rom which attached in OS if your radio <2.2. It's safer.
Radio attached in OS
Ok,
that sounds interesting. I bought a used Wizard with a German WM5.
Off course I'd like a ducth OS WM6. So found a great one cooked by DRAVEN187!
I CID-unlocked (It wasn't SIM locked) it and flashed the ROM which was great. Then I was experiencing trouble with the Bluetooth of my new car (Citroen C4 GP) and decided to upgrade the IPL/ SPL and Radio.
I succeeded in upgrading the IPL and SPL but not in the Radio. So the IPL/SPL are 3.08 and the radio is 1.08.
My qeustion is: how can I determin if a OS has also a radio inside?
If i got it wright you mean first to upgrade with an OS with the Radio included < 2.2. Where Can I find this?
If this is done is it advisable to flash the dutch WM6 (again) and upgrade the Rom to a even higher version?
Does this higher radio version solve the communication problem with the car-bluetooth? (actually I don't think so...)
It seems more people experiencing trouble with WM 6 and car-bluetooth. Is there a cooker who can repair this?
Thanks for helping
There should be no ROM makers that will bundle Radio ROM to it.
And...there are standalone installers for Radio ROM only such as 2.71 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1808328).
Bluetooth problem is a OS problem, upgrading Radio ROM should not help (I have a i.Tech Clip S that doesn't work with any devices that uses WM6 ROM and Microsoft BT stack, no solution)
Hi there,
I use XannyTechROM GRID LEO 1.9 (RilPhone 1.14) and radio: 1.09.25.14.
Should I upgrade to a newer radio version? If yes, which one? I read 1.13 is mostly used here. Can I just pick one of the available ones?
thanks in advance

Upgrading your radio could improve your signal, reception, GPS fix and possibly battery. However your location can affect your radio, so what may be the best radio for one user, may not be the best for another. You can find all official radio's here. It is best to match radio with rilphone, i.e. rilphone 1.13 with radio 1.13 etc, however latest radio is 1.17 and so far latest rilphone is 1.14. More info on rilphone can be found here.
Allrighty then, thanks a lot!
I'll try and upgrade to 1.14 then, as I have rilphone 1.14. I'll be sure and test some.
thanks again
