HI,
Looking for a place where I can get an updated ROM for the i-Mate PDA2k EVDO. This is sold in Australia as a CDMA model, it appears that it is the one referred to here as 'no sim' model.
I just upgraded the Bluetooth to 3500, and that now works, now trying to see if there is a ROM upgrade as well.
Thankyou,
Adam.
all roms are in wiki under avaliable shipped complete roms
Thankyou, I have found the ROMs.
My question relates to the fact that I am unsure if the standard ROM for GSM/GPRS Blueangel will work in a CDMA (no SIM) Blueangel. There is precious little that I have been able to find on this particular model.
I am going to try the Harrier ROM for the Telstra NZ version, but I feel that may not contain the most recent version of the available software.
Anyone out there tried the latest version in a CDMA?

Guys,
Here is a link to Verison USA's ROM for the CDMA MDAIII, I'm not sure what we should call this one???? It is the CDMA 3G version of the MDAIII without the camera. Radio stack would not work in MDAIII and camera is not there, but the bluetooth update may still be of value.

It's and RUU so you should be able to pull everything out of it.
Paul.
Paul can you confirm the version number of that phone ( PH20A2) so that I can update wiki with that rom, please that is.
I'll have to run over to the store.
Sorry about that!
While you are at the store can you dump the ExtRom to the site and I will cook it?

Thanks (or have you not got that device?)
Wiki updated

Might have to move it based on Device Version Number.
Seems that this will be no good for the rest of the PH20B users. Its got no wifi (nor does the Harier) as well as no Camera (same as the siemens) Not to mention the radio.
I have the Sprint PPC6600 and I was wondering if I could upgrade my rom using the files posted on this forum, and if unlocking my extended rom and all the good stuff is the same. Now I know the Bluetooth upgrades work and ofcourse I cannot do radio rom upgrades as one is GSM and mine is CDMA, but are there any radio upgrades for the CDMA version and to the PDA rom upgrades and extended rom stuff apply to the PPC 6600 as well?
You can use the WCE ROM, but you'll note that the Harrier
versions are at 2.03 (available) and 2.04(only out in ROM),
whereas the BlueAngel versions are 1.40.
You can also use the extended ROMs except that it makes
no sense to get another carrier's customization. You're
better off finding whatever CABs you like here and adding
them to your own extended ROM.
You CAN use a radio from another Harrier.
For example, on my Verizon XV6600 I'm running
WCE 2.03, Radio HA01_141, and my own extended ROM.
Ehud
Hey all,
I have read hundreds of posts but modt of them are for the PDA2K and XDAIII. I know these are the same models but I am oblivious to whether or not I need a ROM specific to my Sprint phone. I also could use a quick brush up on what exactly I need to instal this. Pardon my ignorance I am just scared to fry my new phone. Thank you in advance for going easy on me
The Sprint 6600 is a different phone than the I-Mate PDA2k/XDA IIs. The PDA2k and XDAIIs are Blue Angels (GSM Radio) and yours is a Harrier (CDMA radio) which is the same as a PDA2k EVDO.
For more info on the differences, check out wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueAngel_For_Beginners
Unfortunately, I know little about the CDMA version of the phone, but I would assume you can use another carrier's upgrade the same way you can on a GSM version. If so, the latest Rom version would be i-mate's 2.03.
That is very helpful thank you very much
I currently have a Blue angel running in the UK on a T-Mobile rom, unlocked and actually running on an Orange sim. I would like to update my Rom and believe there is a new version out for T-Mobile. But prior to upgrading my rom I am not fussed which Rom I use. Are there any recommendations on the best base rom out there in the UK?
Is it T-Mobile, Orange, O2 etc. I know they will be much the same but individual providers sometimes provide some extras etc. I believe O2 has the battery status on the home page etc. Can anyone recommend a good flavour of Base ROM???
I believe that the i-mate 1.42 is the best rom for stability, however the latest t-mobile rom is advantageous for those needing Blackberry support. The o2 rom however comes with the o2 active interface, which many people like however it really slow's down your ppc.
I'd advise you go for the i-mate rom. Hope this is of help

I run the UK T-Mobile version 1.42 and it's pretty fast and about as stable as i-mates, imo. I'd say if you're using 1.42 now, you're really not going to do any better, overall, unless you go to WM5. Then, however, you're opening a whole new can of worms as they're all hacks and therefore slow and buggy, comparatively speaking. You can find just about any rom on this site's ftp server, ftp://xda:[email protected]
You may get the T-Mobile Rom here
I advise that you follow the WIKI for installation instructions which may be found here
Enjoy!
Thanks Mark/Splonker my device indicates the rom version 1.06.00 ENG is this the version number I should be looking at??
Also sorry for the addition. Can I just do a full backup of my device contacts etc and when I upgrade restore?? Thanks John.
So .. T-Mobile and I-Mate seem to have a 1.42 base rom out. I can find the Dutch TMO 1.42 one (I have that running now), I can find the UK TMO 1.42 one, but where is the I-Mate 1.42 one? Can't find it at I-Mate and can't find it here at XDA Devs ...
Between these three, which is the best?
xBackup not in T-MOBILE 1.42 Radio DUTCH ROM
Just upgraded to T-MOBILE 1.42 Radio DUTCH ROM got my Wireless problem solved but have another problem NO XBACKUP how can I install it???
still trying to track down the english version of the tmobile latest rom any ideas/links anyone?? Thanks John.
I've found Orange 1.31 ROM/Extended ROM and radio 1.15 the best combination so far. For me, 1.4x ROMs were slower.
My Best Roms
XDA IIs UK from O2
1.Best ROM so far without doubt for me is the BA_TMNL_14200_119_11300_Ship from T-MOBILE
AND its the fastest..
2.Best ROM (slightly slower)
XDA 1.42 115 T-Mobile Firmware
3. I-Mates 1.40 WWE with Radio 1.13
still had an issue with audio dropping from incoming calls
If you've seen any of my previous posts you'll see the hell i've been in trying to get anything to work with these ROMS, now it ALL works. and I dont say that lightly!
i tried the last 2 factory ROMS from O2 UK 140.237 & 140.242 which is there latest and I had WIFI nightmares with both of those..
Try it,

This rom is not newer than T-Mobile HR's rom
I think it is not newer than T-Mobile HR'rom.Sometimes, it still can not turn on wifi from com manager.
Have to say been testing this with it at 247 on omap and it is very fast looks like a good rom over all
Any other senior members or mods have a take on this rom yet?
It's definitely a newer version than the latest version released by T-Mobile US but I think that in order to use this here in America, you will need to CID unlock your device.

That's just saved my brick Got stuck on bootloader after a failed wm6 flash. This has sorted it out -thanks for the link as I couldn't find it in the usual place on the t-mobile site.
Has anyone tried this with the T-Mobile USA MDA?
If so, how did the upgrade process go? Were you able to upgrade directly from the latest official Tmo USA MDA ROM? Did you have to unlock the phone first?
What advantages and/or disadvantages have you noticed, from the most recent official TMOUSA MDA ROM? Does your MDA run faster now? Does stereo bluetooth work better? Is your MDA more or less stable with this ROM? Any change in its functionality as a phone? Any change in battery life?
Etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.
Will this work for US original MDA rom?
