I can understand that you may need extrom, but if when you formatted you used 4096 instead of 128K for extrom when upgrading to wm2005, then surely that would solve that issue.
Are we ever likely to see iiwpo on wm2005 ?

Hi,
Last days I posted a similar message in Himalaya forum, but I think is better to make the question here.
First of all, sorry for my very bad English.
I am trying to find a good navigator. I saw a that TT5.1 hangs my QTEK 2020i frequently and I need a softreset. I am testing a patched version from emule of TomTom 5.1 before buying due to some comments about its frequent hangs up with XDA 2. I don't know if the problem could be the GPS, the SD card, the QTEK...
Could any of TT5 users confirm:
1. If his TT5 runs correctly in their QTEK 2020i or XDA 2i?
2. If is a patched or oficial (buyed) version?
I am Spanish and I use Telefonica Movistar as provider, no O2 as the majority, then I can not upgrade my rom.
Could anyone explain what Radio version does and if is it possible to improve from 1.02 to 1.03 only, with no changes in protocol version, ext rom...
Hardware data:
Version ROM: 1.11.03 ESN
Date ROM: 31/01/05
Version radio: 1.02.00
Version protocol: 1337.41
Version ExtROM: 1.11.117 ESN
San Disk SD card 1gb
Haicom GPS HI-303E with bluetooth slipper HI-401 BT
Any help will be good
Thanks
Bye
I have a Qtek 2020i and TT5.1 runs fine for me, but I have changed my firmware.
Either get the O2 mod'ed firmware with the 1.03 radio from this site or the latest i-mate PDA2.
Both of these have fixed bugs which made TT and other apps crash.
Neither of the above helped me though, there seems to also be an issue with SD card access speed too.
Thanks,
Today I tested a Sd card San Disk Ultra II 512 mb (reading 10mb/s and writing 9mb/s) wit anything in the SD card and again hangs up and a softreset needed...
Only some questions from a desperated novice:
1. Is there any problem if I put this O2 moded firmware with the 1.03 radio from this site and my operating telephone company is Telefonica Movitar from Spain?
2. Where can I find this O2 moded firmware with the 1.03 radio from this site?
3. Is it possible to return to my actual firmware if there is some major problems? How? with a new hard reset?
Sorry for a lot of questions
Bye
It seems as if the 2020 has problems with "large" SD cards - my "cheap" 1GB cards hang TT5 on a regular basis, I have some better 1GB cards that work perfectly but will not allow me to pick up traffic updates. I also have a Panasonic 128MB card which usually works perfectly (once I can get the 2020 to see it which might mean sticking it in and out a few times), the 128 card will pick up traffic updates and everything else with no problems whatsoever - maybe try a smaller card.

I use the cheap 32x LEXAR 1GB SD card on my 2020i. The only problem I encountered were all the files were read only when it installed.
I have bought a pda2 but there is a problem with flashRom size....In device information------>Hardware the flashRom size is 64Mb.....I don't know how it's possible...thanks for your help.
ps. I have read after the Italian version of imate website and i have uncovered that the Italian version has only 64 mb of rom. how it is possible?
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you Iranian?.....
The Alpine has 64MB reserved for the OS, Extended rom, radio stack, splash screen and so on which is updated using a PC.
64MB reserved for Storage which you can use to store data.
128MB split between program memory and memory storage, user adjustable.
What you are describing is the official size of the Storage which as standard shows up as less than 60MB by the time it is formatted.
today I use the S200, it is more faster than BA WM5 .
why?
most likely because of the flash the BA have was not made to write to all the time it was made for storage backup and extented rom
ram was used to save data on on BA 2003
but nativ wm2005 devices flash is made to save your data on and it's newer so it's flash is much faster
data on the ramdisk on BA wm2005 would have a higher speed
but

also it is right , but
s200 rom
ba rom
speed : s200 > ba
s200 rom
ba ramdisk
speed : s200 >ba
why?
This link explains the differences in speed between the different types of storage:

What about the other capital letters?
Okay, so let's talk about NAND and NOR. These are the two main types of ROM. They're largely used the same way, and everything I've said about ROM is true of both of them. So, for the most part, you don't need to care which kind you've got. But I'll tell you about them anyway.
NOR: Faster to read, slower to write.
NAND: Slower to read, faster to write.

So, I am trying out WM2003SE after being on a number of WM5 ROMs. Using WM2003SE is really odd after being in WM5 [but I think I enjoy the less bugs]!
Any case, all seems well but I have a question about drives and what I see in Resco Exlporer [and when I install stuff].
I see:
\Device
\EXT_ROM
\Storage
\Storage Card
Now, the one I am wondering about is \Storage. Its shows as a 44.69 MB Removable Storage Drive. From what was in this drive I believe it was the RAM Disk in the last WM5 ROM I was using [Helmi BA Aku.2.3 v1 Beta].
So, is \Storage suppose to be there? Or should it be apart of \Device\ or perhaps \Ext_ROM\
I am sure it's okay and that I just do not remember 2003SE properly. If so, sorry for the silly question/post.
Oh, one last question. Is there a tool that will allow you to chose where you want a cab to go to when installing them from the Device itself?
the \Storage is not a RamDisk - it is a persistent storage drive (it was used as main storage under WM5). Under WM2003 all the storage except \Storage card, \Storage and \ExtROM are RAMDisks.
Thank you TB -
So, I need to find a way to get /Storage/ back into WM2003SE /Device/
I guess I missed something in the Wiki... poopy!
Hi ppl
i have a problem with my unit showing only 0.11mb storage available
under device info->Hardware
rom ver 1.11.00 WWE
radio ver 1.00.00
protocol ver 1337.39
ExtRom Ver (just blank)
i was running extRom Unlock earlier which was really a stupid thing to do
appreciate any help anyone could suggest to fix this
thanks
Have you reflashed your device with the ROM image from your provider or the original Qtek ROM?
But I think you've totally damaged your Storage! Bad but true!
does it mean it's gone....& no other way of recovering it
all i did was running the ExtROM unlocker & unhide
& DOC repartitioning tool
can anyone tell me what is the standard
storage like for XDA 2i
currently i can see tot main memory 121.8 mb
which split into
program memory 50.8mb &
storage memory 71.0mb
then i have storage card (which depend on SD card size)
& storage of 0.1 mb only (which i think should be around 50 ++mb)
thanks
storage fixed
hmm finally i've fixed it...
what actually happen is the DOC partition tool
got me fooled....by default it partition only 128kb of my ROM
that's why i only got 0.11mb storage space
by just guessing the actuall size i've tried from 128 mb & going down
finally i got ~60 mb
thanks for the input.....yeah
