How can I help? - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

Hi Guys,
I have a pda2k from i-mate. bought from expansys USA. I have only loaded the official imate latest rom on it.
The unit of course is in english, it is unlocked and I have tested with different operator sims, works with them all.
I would love to try the new rom 1.40. I am not sure if i can downgrade once I upgrade to the 1.40. Any suggestions?
Do the developers of BA need any details from my unit, I would be happy to assist and post results, or post rom etc.
I would like to upgrade to RAdio rom 1.12 assuming I will still maintain an unlocked device and if my unit will get any more stable than it is already.
thanks for any suggestions/feedback.

Your device will remain unlocked, up or downgrade it as much as you feel happy with. Wiki is the best for info, roms ect.

I followed the wiki pages and ran the getdevice data, the following is what I got:
PH20B 0 B WWE E CDL__001 1.22.00 0 0 1.22.136 1.06.00 06.00
What does CDL stand for? any ideaa? Since I did not buy my unit from a cellular operator but instead from expansys USA, the unit was unlocked when I purchased it.
Can I upgrade to ver 1.40 and stilll maintain an unlocked state?
Thanks.

Thats is your operator Id, what the CDL stands for I pass. YOu will need that value in the fix^.bat of the new 1.40 rom.
Sim Unlocked is sim unlocked, it will stay that way.
Make sure you use the type I rom if you go for the 1.40, read the threads on it (there are 4) not everybody is happy with that rom.

Is there any major benefits of upgrading to the Radio rom ver 1.12?
Can I upgrade to 1.12 without upgrading the system rom to 1.40? will there be any side effects?
thanks.

Only NBf found in the upgrade dir will be installed. However you will do a hardreset after upgrade thus you will need to install all your other apps as well as sync your contacts ect.
Side effects, sure it could go bad and you end up with a brick, happens to the best of us.

therock112, as a user of the 1.4 ROM and 1.12 radio on my imate PDA2K, on Cingular, I have to say the radio is much better than the stock radio, better connections, faster, more bars, etc. Also interfaces with the wifi banner bars better, info presented in the banner is more accurate and informative. I also like the 1.40 ROM, things are quicker and the battery life is now better than with the stock ROM.

Updating Radio ROM

I have a MDA VARIO flashed with an Imate Kjam ROM (one of the first found here). Radio is stil 01.01.10
I want to flash my RADIO ROM. Is it as simple as this? (found in thread here)
Download and install the radio update utility - http://rapidshare.de/files/10717194/Wizard_GSM_11210.exe.html
I ask because I think there are also ROM updates that come with OS and Radio? And Also I read about the ROM tool that can do this. More roads lead to Rome I guess but the executable seems the easiest way to go.
Another way is to use aWizard 1.2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37386
Unfortunately I've found separete Radio ROM image just in Portugal Brazilian ROM archive (1.13.10, ftp://xda:[email protected]/HTC_Wizard/Roms/Qtek/QTEK_9100_portuguese.rar)

I ran the executable without Vario attached. It warned that it also deletes the full pda. Guess I can better update to the offial uk t-mobile ROM at once then.

Kenji776 look at the size of this utility... full rom is about 45Mb. It is coocked from standard rom upgrade utility, that's why you can see the standard warnings.

Nice HA :lol:
I don't think he meant it in a sarcastic way. I think he meant is there a way to quantify your findings.
I would like to improve the sound quality of my wizard, also. I'm especially concerned with the earpiece volume and the speakerphone clarity for the called party. Everyone I talk to on the speakerphone says it sounds very "scratchy" and full of "static".
Did yours sound this way before you upgraded, and does it still sound that way?
Thx.

hi, what are diference between my ROM and your adviced ROM ver ?
Hi, i used to use your rom before my current and it was quite a good rom but the aku2 rom i suggested is better
1. Has push email - so your email arrives in a way that your sms's does, almost instantly.
2. Rom is more stable - no more spontaneous soft reset's or dropped calls
3. Battery life is noticeably better.
4. Device is a bit quicker
5. Calls using the phone are better because it has an updated radio.
6. Downside is 2 line date - can be sorted with lvmtime and battery on taskbar - can be covered with same program.
hope that helps

Hi ,
Is this the latest normal rom, i mean not tweaked, tinkered or modified ?
I looked in the FTP server but the numbering system for the roms is not really clear...
Since i am Dutch i don't mind a Dutch version...
Does it have A2DP ?
rgrds Mike
I assume you have a t-mobile vario - latest official dutch rom is here http://www.t-mobile.nl/zakelijk/med...y_2210205_22102108_021911_TMO_NL_DUT_Ship.exe
You can stop the t-mobile extras installing by doing as soft reset just before they install. None of the roms mentioned include a2dp but there is an easy addon for that look at the a2dp addon thread.

Hi thx for the info.
Your're right i have an MDA Vario
Btw is this the latest ever or just the latest dutch ?
And is it newer than the above mentioned Qtek ?
rgrds Mike
Its newer than the above qtek rom the first few numbers give it away 2.21 vs 2.17 the higher this first number the newer the rom.
There is a newer qtek rom 2.8 something but its a test rom but you can get it in dutch. Only problem is that when you boot up it says test rom and some people have noticed a memory leak, but it does have a2dp included but many have reported it does not work that well with this rom.

hi, i upgraded ROM to AKU ver 2.17
but please help me to remove the new batery and GPRS icons
from the top info bar... the icons appeared after upgrade.
10x
Those icons are part of the ROM. All ROMs of the AKU 2.1 variety are going to have those icons in place.
That said, if I were you I would immediately downgrade back to a 1.x ROM and do a CID unlock before upgrading. You don't NEED to do it if you stay with operator ROMs, but if you ever want to use a custom ROM in the future it's something you'll want to do.
The CID encryption changed somewhere between 2.17 and 2.21 and the unlocking tools no longer work. If you upgrade to a bootloader that is version 2.21 or higher you will not be able to use the current downgrader tool and you will not be able to use lokiwiz02b to unlock the CID. At that point the only option is to pay imei-check.co.uk to do the job. Might as well take the free route while you can.
re
why I need to upgrade ROM again ? this ver is working OK till now
i have not operotors ROM.

what is rom

Ok I’m a total noob and ‘ve have already unlock my T-Mobile MDA so I can use it as a Cingular cell phone . about I know I got a G3 since my
IPL is 2.xx
Spl is 2.xx
Gsm 2.35.11
os 2.26.10.
Now my Question is what’s next? What’s that rom I’ve been reading about? howe do i know what version i have ? What is the os 2.26.10? What version should I be using? how do I REMOVE THE T-Mobile logo an stuff? I know it’s a lot of question but I figured that every one can jump in and give me some knowledge than you very much .for reading this.
ROM = firmware = Windows mobile
OS 2.26.10.2 = newest oficial firmware
Radio 2.35.11 - I think it does not exist
IPL/SPL = bootloader (it depend on the end of that number) if you have G4 (IPL/SPL ends 0001), than you can`t unlock and write unoficial (better then oficial) ROM
T-Mobile logo is easy to rewrite by any unoficial ROM or by your cooked splash screen
for simplicity...think of a ROM as the operating system and the extended ROM as the bundled software your computer comes with...
you can flash your phone with any wizard ROM you'd like...and as a noob you may not know that most ROM's are cooked without network customizations so you'll need (in your case cingular) the cingular customizations cab file (do a search)
like johnny said...most custom ROM's have all the tmobile/cingular/etc bull**** removed so you won't have to worry about it
the os 2.26.10.x is the version number of a ROM (newest official as of right now)
know this...you will void your warrenty when you unlock your phone further which you'll have to do...so first go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
and then find a ROM you like...
THX a couple more questions
Ok 1st I need to say THX to both Johnny & j3d1n4s7y For your reply I got a couple more questions if my SPl is 2.26 so I need to down grade to bring it back to 1.xx right?
What is
Rom 2.26.10.2 WWE & Radio 02.47.11 what are their purpose?
thank you in advance
Be Careful...
-tiouko-
I notice that you want to upgrade/downgrade ROMs. Be aware that there are two types of devices, G3 & G4 and you should be aware of what type of phone it is. If when you boot your phone & the IPL & SPL read 2.xx then you have a G3 phone if it reads 2.xx.001 or something like that then you have a G4. Be aware that if you use the wrong type of ROM to flash you will brick your phone - read; read; read; before you start flashing your ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435 by Doc P is a great read if you have a G3
Good Luck!!
And Btw, I believe ROM stands for "Read Only Memory" which is where you write the OS and then the applications only read from this place. It is pretty much similar to the ROM on your PC.

... and WWE = "World Wide English", the language of the ROM. FRE might be for French for example. The World Wide part means that the version is applicable accross all English Locales, as opposed to having localised English versions for Australia, the US, and the UK for example.
Yeah man thanks for the warnings I believe that my is a g3 because is 2.26 and my spl is 2.26 with out the extension. I'm currently doing my readings carefully before i do anythings major.
This is a wonderful thread.
I am a newbie and I am facing lots of problem with my ROM.
I am using Dopod838 and my phone warrenty is void.
I am thinking to upgrade the ROM since my original rom does not support A2DP.
Since my phone is unlock, whereby I can use any provider sim card and use it in my phone, do I still need to unlock my rom?
I got one las question i confirmed that my wizard is a g3 according to the ultimate guide I should downgrade if i want to run home brew rom which is what i wanr to do . I've already downloaded the button rom 1.o5 along with lockwiz o.2b my question is do I cid unlock first or do I downgrade with button 1.o5 than cidunlock second I could of swear I was suppose to cid unlock first.Please help.

5th Sticky has the information you need, its title is:
SOLUTION FOUND -CID/sim UNLOCKING FOR WIZARD WITH AKU2 ROMS.
Gives you a step by step process. Basically you can't CID unlock until you downgrade to the button rom. By your post it looks like you have the tools you need. This thread will give you the instructions on how to use them and when.
Thx Buddy exactly what I wanted to know I'm going to get started I'll let you know how I did.

I'll probe u when I bump into problem.. hehe!
Some of the best ROMs are introduced (and downloadable) via this forum. So you can check out yourself what they include and if it fits your needs.
The latest ROMs are based on AKU 3.2/3.5, but they are still in development and can be a bit buggy.
Personally I am very satisfied using the Molski.biz 2.26.10.2 Final Edition Rom (based on AKU2.3).

Qood question I'm not sure being that I', noob but i would assume that it's not cid unlock since you have to go the extra mile to get it cid unlock . can you tell me if you are seeing network logo ie singular or t mobile on the screen is yes it's possible that' it's not cid unlock. but keek asking hopefully some one would have the right answer for you. good luck

If in doubt just CID unlock again. It doesn't hurt anything and that way you can be sure that you are unlocked.

just in case you missed it.. READ THE WIKI
I've read the wiki - And although it tells you HOW to flash, the guy is asking for a Vodafone ROM.
I'm also looking for a vodafone rom and am finding it almost impossible to find. The one in a recent thread is actually a Qtek 9090 rom.
rom wanted

I know you are looking for a rom.. All the roms have been removed..
Heres an idea.. go to google and type in vodafone rom
maybe you will find a link to one there.....
I'm actually looking for a fully Vodafone-branded rom. I've only ever found one of them - and it was from Vodafone DE, not ideal for me.
I'm well aware the rom archieve is gone, I actively follow the site! But the fact is - there WASN'T a vodafone branded rom on it start with that was english!
Why do you need Vodafone ROM? Just use the newest 1.42 from T-mobile

Not meaning to be funny or condescending... however....
I just did a quick google search..
Using these keywords.. Vodafone 1620 Rom
And guess what?? I found 3 roms within 3 minutes... in English...
How did you find a german rom? In germany it is called the VPA3 not the 1620
Ok ok ok point proved (I was actually looking for VPA! Found a VPX/V1620 now thanks!)
Anyways, the point was the wiki doesnt answer everything - its mainly techincal help thats offered, and with the FTP taken down its going to get a lot harder to find ROMs.
SUGGESTION: Why not introduce a new wiki page where you can obtain the official ROM updates from the manufacturers/operators websites?
some cool things about the WIKI......

Agreed it does not answer everything.. So.. lets think of solutions...
The WIKI is an open book that can be written.. So create the page you want..
If you want to link to "official" ROM sources you can, just create the page...
The whole backbone of this site is based upon the fact that we share knowledge.. a true USER BASED community... Maybe thats why sometimes people like me get a tad "uptight" when people forget how to use google!
Go ahead.. create that page in Wiki.. it doesnt take that long to do!
(BTW.. glad you found your rom! )
problem solved
contact me for problem on vodafone v1620
I have a lot of experience on this device now
thanks to xplode

Radio Rom Links In This Forum ????

I remember seeing links for different version of radio Rom that someone posted after building the cooked rom. For the life of me I searched all over and can not seem to be able to find it. If anyone would be kind enough to link me.....Thanks
I think you meant this right?
Yes, Thank you. i cant believe with all the views and no one replied. What is wrong with the members these days.
Radio Rom Upgrade Details
hey paypalbid
I too downloaded the latest ROM (I believe from the Hermes site). Could you tell me the specific steps on how you went about upgrading just the Radio part. What utility did you use and did your phone need to have Olipro Hard-SPL prior to upgrading the Radio ROM
Thanks
V
To be on the safe side this is what i did
I did use the Olipro unlocker which were on this sticky thread, I did not use his later version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334100
Then I use this program to just to make sure the SIM and IPL/SPL were unlocked completely
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347682
After that everything was good to go. Just hook your phone up to active syn and run. When it ask what IPL/SPL you have just pick 1.04 and let the process run on its own.
ROM upgrade
paypalbid
The links you send me was for Olipros Hard SPL and then something to check if the phone is unlocked
I have an unlocked phone already with an unbranded ROM. My question is to upgrade "Just" the Radio ROM what did you use. Was is it a Kaiser utility or was is it CustomRUU.
Please give me specific steps "Post" your unlock process and ROM upgrade to perhaps a branded or unbranded ROM.
Also to others reading this thread if you have an unlocked and unbranded ROM in your current TREO how to just upgrade the Radio ROM
To be specific I have V2.27 RWE ROM which put in 1.54.01.00 Radio and need to upgrade to either the AT&T 1.54.07.00 Radio or 1.54.30.10 Hermes Radio. Any links on the various Radio differences. This should be a sticky

i used the kaiser one. No radio is "the answer" it is all based on your carrier and where you at. Radio Rom is all about personal trial and error.
I cannot download from the ftp link...
Any other link?
you cam find them here:

well don't install 1.54.30.10.
once you do, theres no going back.
personally i find 1.54.07 and 1.54.01 to do the best job.
