Should i upgrade my rom? - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

To start with I have had my xda iis only a few days. The roms is:
ROM version: 1.12.62 WWE
ROM date: 10/04/04
Radio version: 1.02.00
Protocol version: 1337.32
ExtROM version: 1.12.178 WWE
There are numerous comments on here and the wiki about different rom and radio updates. Could anyone sum up the benefits and differences for me if i upgrade rom or radio please?

Can nobody advise a newcomer to xda iis and these forums? On other subjects I've had a really good response but nobody seems to want to advise me on this thread.

martlewis - you know there's a new ROM out, everyone's busy trying that out! Windows Mobile 2005. If you feel confident in doing a backup, try that one. It's got serious issues to be resolved, but you're lucky enough to own a device that can be upgraded.
I've got a magician, so can't help re your specific rom.

martlewis,
If you can wait for the new ROM WM5 to be developed it will be OK for you, but if you can't I would suggest that you should up-grade to the latest available ROM up-date which is as follows:
ROM version : 1.40.00 WWE
ROM date : 03/10/05
Radio version : 1.13.00
Protocol version: 1377.42
ExtRom version : 1.40.176
This is the best performing ROM version as at now.
Regards

sorry for my intrimission!
I have a pda2k with italian rom, but I would to like to have the system language in english.
To upgrade the rom: I must download the version 1.40.00 WWE from wiki and then run the update using: MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe.. right?!

Dear Mart...
I have tried the new ROM which I've been waiting for a long time. Once installed, I liked it. Howerver, I started to find out that there are many problems that I'm not used to with WM2003 SE, therfore, I downgraded to WM2003.....until these issues are resolved. SO.... if know how to upgrade, and if you know how to downgrade in case you didn't like the new ROM......Then give it a try......apart from the issues it has....still I like it. Finally it's another new Microsoft Windows that will take some time to get stable.
Cheers

I decided to wait for the official new ROM to be developed and published on the I-mate site to download and up-grade.
What's happening now is just trials for resolving the problems users are facing with the new WM5 ROM.
My device is working fine now with the 1.40 ROM version and 1.13 Radio version.
The only problem I'm facing is the statics in BT headset and I hope that we can find some solution for this problem in the near future, otherwise everything is going just fine.
Regards

Closer,
I think that you have to simply download the english version and install it to your PDA2K through the computer cable. After the installation is complete, you will be having the english version installed on your PDA2K.

OK I am lost here, which ROM should I need

Hi Guys, I am sorry but I could not read the forum since a long time, I also tried to read as much as I can this morning, thread on rom version, but i am Confused
Which rom I NEED ? since actually I have
ROM Version: 1.22.00 WWE
ROM Date: 10/22/2004
Radio version: 1.06.00
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtROM version: 1.22.126 WWE
It is a Qetk ROM WWE on a FRE Qetk
I would love to be up to date but could not figure out what rom to use
Thanks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=81244#81244
looks like the only thing up can do is upgrade radio
your extended ROM is different from mine? you got a 162 and I got a 126, is there any big difference? Also regarding the Radio worth it to upgrade my Qetk?
Thanks
Daimaou
The way I understand it so far is that the version number of an exteneded rom is based on the carrier.
What I am saying is that just because I-mate has a Extrom 1.22.999
does not mean that it is higher than Qtek Extrom 1.22.111
all it says it that for I-Mate 999 would be a Higher version than I-Mate 1.22.555
What I have found out is that there are 4 types of cabs in the exteneded rom.
1) Upagrade and patches that build on the OS in this case 1.22.
2) Carrier settings, such as splash screens and MMS setings.
3) Free software such as zip and the PDF reader
4) Hardware upgrades like buuton9 which is only avalible on a Pocket pc that has a Hardware keyboard.
Thus my pratice is to leave the exteneded rom as is and cook it later.
Thanks so far since I don't have to complain of the present situation, I will leave everything as it is and wait for a new 1.XX rom

Upgrade for my XDA IIs from Singapore

Hi,
Little intro..New O2 convert here. Was a P910 user.
I was wondering whether I could get an upgrade as I have been getting these glitches:
1) Caller ID photos is unstable.. i.e. occasionally shows caller photos..
2) Hangs occasionally
My version:
ROM version: 1.12.62 WWE
ROM date: 10/04/04
Radio Version: 1.02.00
Protocol version: 1337.32
ExtROM Version: 1.12.925 WWE
Can anybody help me?????
Well, it seems that we're a little bit out of luck. The official upgrade from O2 is still for UK region only, Asian upgrade probably not that long on the road, just be patient for a while (although I'm starting to get annoyed myself with all this unstability :? )
Hangs occasionally? Mine restarts itself occasionally...
Upgrade of CAller ID software??
Is it possible to upgrade the Caller ID software I have now to a "stable" one? I am having the version 1.17..

I have a Asia IIs and just came back from service center. They upgrade the ROM for me (I didn't ask for it).
Here is what I got
ROM Version: 1.31.00 WWE
ROM Date: 12/13/04
Radio version: 1.02.00
Protocol version: 1337.32
ExtROM version: 1.31.920 WWE
Hangs occasionally? Restarts itself occasionally? Mine hard reset itself occasionally...
Same here
I'm also having the auto hard problem, after sending to O2 service centre the same problem happened again...
They claimed that is a 3rd party software problem.
Yatlee,
Is it possible for you to upload your latest ROM and extended ROM as I have an O2 Hongkong XDAIIs and can probable use yours since O2 UK ROM does not work.
"Is it possible for you to upload your latest ROM and extended ROM as I have an O2 Hongkong XDAIIs and can probable use yours since O2 UK ROM does not work."
How to do it?
Well, My story goes like this: I came to this website which is great resource. Like many others here, I tried using some of the upgrade posted here. I was very careful and just want to try out the radio upgrade, but not the other ROM, ext-ROM stuff. I upgraded to 1.06.02 from the FTP server. My unit was stable before the upgrade. After the upgrade, I got constant call (out or receive) without sound. I had to soft reset to have the unit go back to normal. Even after I went back to 1.02 (again download thru FTP server), I had the same problem.
I called O2 support. They said it's external software problem. Of course, I did tell them I flash the Radio ROM myself. I was about to give up my XDA all together. I sent it into the repair center. When I picked up the unit, they said everything is normal, but they upgrade the firmware. So far, after two days without soft reseting, my unit is still stable and no more call without sound. I swear I will not tinker any new firmware unless it is release for Asia O2 XDA IIs. It's too much pain.
Another thing, the FW I got does not have O2 active which has reported to be a piece of trash anyway.
Upgraded BT to 3900
I'm also wary of updating my unit with ROM that's designed for other countries. That's why I'm waiting patiently for the ROM update for my unit which I bought in Malaysia.
The only thing I've messed with is upgrade my BT from 3500 to 3900. I did that because I couldn't get my Sony HBH-660 headset to connect. Since I updated BT, my headset works properly now albeit with a few hiccups.
hi yatlee,
may i know what're the rom specs u have right now?
Excellent upgrade for me!
I'm from Malaysia and recently has bought an XDA IIs with the 1.31.00 WWE ROM (Rom Date: 13 Dis,2004), Radio Version 1.02.00, Protocol 1337.39, Bluetooth BT-PPC/PE Version 1.0.0 Build 3500, and extROM 1.31.920 WWE. My unit always hang from time to time aspecially when I put various kind of softwares on it. But 3 days ago I've upgraded it as below:
1. Radio ROM: 1.02.00 WWE to 1.08.00 WWE
2. Caller ID: 1.17 to 1.20
3. MMS Composer: 2.0.0.13 to 2.0.0.16
4. ClearVue: 2.4.381 to 2.4.386
Outcomes:
1. It doesn't hang anymore (3 days of uses).
2. Good network signal reception
3. Faster respond.
Now I'm waiting for better ones.
The Radio ROM is downloaded from xda-developers.com ftp with the name KPN_Rom QTEK 9090 Radio 1.0.8.
Sorry for bad English.
My specs...
I've also updated the RADIO with the KPN version. I found out later it's only an upgrade for the GSM module.
Can somebody post this asian xdaIIs ROM here????
Thanks very much in advance.
Cheers,
radio 1.08, really works. Better performance of my IIs now, especially when taking with others on phone.

Hey cyphol... Could you please check your MMS composer version by going to MMS Settings>About tab to see what version is shown on yours? I ran the 2.0.0.16 update cab without any problem but the version on my about tab still shows as 2.0.0.13... was wondering if any body had the same problem

WMP 10 on XDA IIs

did anyone try to upgrade 9series to 10 ?
Would be nice but believe WMP10 on BA is only possible with a rom upgrade to 1.40 (this includes WMP10.)
Unless someone can hopefully point me out to be wrong there is not currently a way to upgrade to WMP10 without a complete rom upgrade
a ROM reflash is required.
mamaich had earlier provided an older ROM with WMP10, now the new 1.4 ROM has it inbuilt. worth upgrading..
anywaz, can't install wmp10 as standalone installation.
Ach, that's a pain.
I did upgrade to 1.40 but got more probs than worth.
Have reverted to original but with latest Radio and BlueTooth bits... I will update my details on here once I have finished fiddling...
Is there no way at all, maybe something extracted from 1.40, to install Windows Media 10 without Rom update?
Update my XDA IIs
I just got my very first Pocket PC. And I try to do a update on my software. So, where can i find the upgrade software? and how i know which one to pick?
Model No. PH20B

help Please!!! Really stressed!!!!

All I want to do is get my QTEK 9100 to work with my new Parrott MK6000 hands free kit so that I can stream music through my car speakers. Parrot have told me on their forum:
http://www.parrot.biz/forums/english/viewtopic.php?id=3759
to update to the latest ROM for my device. Is there an issue with audio streaming with the QTEK 9100? I think I read on one of these threads that there was, hence the reason I am trying so hard to update.
The device info for my QTEK is as follows:
ROM Version: 2.17.7.2
Rom date: 2/10/06
Radio Version: 02.07.10
Protocol Version: 413.1.03
ExtROM Version: 2.17.7.102
I have been reading this forum for ages now. I have unlocked my CID (even though the device is G4 and I now understand that that was not necessary) and I have tried to update to the ROM on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1172977&postcount=361
but have recieved an error 300 message.
Is that because that ROM is not compatiable with my PDA?
If that is the case, is it only the ROM's on this page
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Upgrades
that are compatiable with the respective phones and if that is the case then I must have the latest ROM and can not upgrade any further?
I would like to have the very latest ROM (just to be flash) and have therefore set my computer to retrieve the seed for Faria's latest ROM version on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291806&page=85
is that going to work or am i wasting my time?
Any help would be really appreciated and I am sorry if I have missed something whilst scanning this forum.
there are a bunch of roms out there , seems like everyone has there own cooked version.
It is possible that your pda/phone doesnt like that rom version.
Try finding another rom image?
jeff
Can anyone recommend one that might possibly work? Its just that its difficult to tell from all the different ones out there. Also does the Rom Image have to be specific for my phone or will any do?

Please take some time and read before posting. This is important for old and new members alike.
Start in the WIKI and if you get completely lost, then create a post. But please don't expect members to spoon-feed you all the information you can easily find on your own here.
Have "patience" and take your time reading everything associated with unlocking and upgrading a few times before trying anything. You'll be glad you did.
