Official ROM From Siemens, unofficial 1.40 WM05 most stable? - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

I am just curious as to what you guys think.
I have been using WM05 for about a week now and decided i can't deal with the current bugs so I am going back to 1.40. I also realized i can go back further and go back to the official rom from siemens.
Also, can someone post the official SX66 rom from siemens? I can't get to the site for somereason.
Back to my first question.....which do you guys think is most stable?
Also, besides WM 10 why is 1.40 improved over the official version from siemens? Honestly, I only used the siemens rom for one day and i immediatly upgraded to the 1.40 rom...so i am unfamiliar with the lack of features found in that old rom.
thanks for the help!

You can't get to the Siemens SX66 site now because they have totally removed the phone and all links to the phone from their site. I have no idea yet why they have done that.

I had used Siemens officail ROM for months and recently about a month ago, changed over to 1.40 from SX66 standardisation project. THis 1.40 ROM is equally stable and I am happy with it.

Thanks dudes.
HI,
I recommend you wait for a few days because qtek will be releasing rom 1.40 with radio 1.12 and extended rom 1.40.111
I'm using this rom now and works pretty well.
Comes with media player 10.

Nice news...!
Can you post your ROM here? PM me if you want my mail address, and I will post it for you..
Would love to try out the new update...thanks in advance..!
Hi, i'm using it right now:
For those who are asking for this rom i'm sorry but i promissed not to share it until my friend tell's me to.
But he told me that in a few days it will out.
It will be distributed via brightpoint.
No need for asking for the rom.
Thank's for understanding!
In the picture you can see that i'm still using radio rom 1.10
That's because if i started the upgrade with the radio rom on the upgrade folder it would hang in the upgrading process. Without the radio runs immediatly.
Latter tonight i will try to upgrade the radio rom also! (maybe with an older upgrade and delete ms and nk files from folder)
I've seen the qtek radio rom 1.12 in the xda-developers ftp
you can always go there and grab it! It's a .rar file
Is this ROM will be good for PDA2K?
If this rom is Type I, then it will be usable with PDA2ks. This is not important though, as I-Mate will be releasing their new rom this coming week.
Is my Qtek language after the install of the update english, or can i use german?
Any news on the BT side in the new ROM?
Greetings

For sure? :roll:
Well, I just spoke to a clueless I-Mate support person who said it would be about 2 months because they are busy working on the PDA2, but another tech support person told someone else 2 weeks last week.
So basically, with I-Mate, you never get a straight answer, so who the hell knows.

So, can you give us the low down on 1.40.00? Does it include Widnows Media Player 10? Which BT stack does it include? Anythig new we should know about? Thanks,

Your friend...?? :shock:
What has your friend to do with sharing this, unless he was the original developer?
And Brightpoint is a major distributor/reseller...so I am curious to see "how" they would share this with us, users. Usually, updates are communicated through the telco's. This is because the telco's have to pay the OEM for (most) upgrades...so they consider this "customer service" for their clients.
Guess I now have to become a Brightpoint customer...?
I think not.

Sorry HappyGoat, this gotta be an hopeless portuguese user ...
In a few days my cute, little butt! :evil: I called Brightpoint in Sweden today, and they said they hoped to have it out within a month! Apparently they had sendt it to the Creator (God or HT, I'm not sure...), and there was sort of a service pack for WM in it as well.

O2 XDA Mini S - What is the best ROM for Push email

Hi All,
I have been reading the posts on this forum for the last 5 days and just need some advice.
Just got the Mini S and woudl like to know what ROM to upgrade to, various posts mention the QTEK or the IMATE and to be honest I am a little confused.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I need to use the lokiwiz program to unlock the SIM and CID before I attempt the upgrade ?
Thanks
Dan
You would also need to remap the keyboard as the O2 version has a different keysheet. The O2 build with push will be available within the next week or so.

I'm in a similar boat to the OP. Been watching the forums for a couple of weeks and am finally in a position to upgrade the ROM - still not sure to go QTEC or iMate....and now Lord Buckingham throws O2 back in the mix!!
@ Lord Buckingham - can you qualify where you have heard the news about the O2 ROM as all I have seen is pure speculation so far on these forums?
If any other Mini S owners can comment on the QTEC/iMate ROM argument that would also be a great help!
thanks.
I've just installed the Qtek 2.17 Rom on my mini, but now i'm having activesync problems. Not sure it's related, although I am tempted to try the Kjam 2.16 rom to see if it's any better. Will let you know when i've installed it...
Ady
I've been using the iMate 2.16.9.1 rom since it came out in feb, and it works fine for me. Dtharby, To answer your question you do need to use lokiwiz to unlock the SIM and CID before upgrading
After hacking around on my Laptop, I've resolved the activesync issue I was having, without going back to 2.16. So 2.17 seems stable, fast and bug free so far...
thanks guys. It's reassuring to hear there's some Mini S users in the UK that have has success with the new ROMs.
I think I'll try flashing tonight....maybe going to go for QTEC (just cause it came out later!!)
One last thing - is it actually possible to roll back to the shipping O2 ROM from these new 2.x ROMs?
cheers!

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.

I use lvmtime - it covers over the battery icon and levenum has done a good job with it. (new version expected soon) see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45084

With some community effort, we could create an AKU3 ROM with BePe's stuff.

Nope. That's their AKU2.25 that's been shipping on recent 8125s WITH the G4 flash. I overwrote mine with Mr. Clean's AKU3 using Risidoro's instructions and now am trying to cook Summiter's sutff in just for fun.[/url]
Thats the 2.25 ROM they released in July. It's a pretty good update from stock, but I'm still waiting for 2.5 or 3.0 from Summiter.

Anything new yet?
Anything new yet?
Hopefully Summiter could pop in and give us an update. I have been surfing the AKU 2.3 thread and seems that it is the latest one he put out. I am holding off on that in the hope that the 2.5 will show up.
Maybe I shouldn't be waiting?

anybody in here interested in cooking an AKU3.x Rom update for the Charmer?

Hey all
My charmer has arrived, and im picking it up tomorrow.
I recently had the joy of playing with two different XDA II handsets, one with an AKU 2.0 rom update and the other with an AKU 3.5 update on it. the AKU 3.5 both looked and performed a LOT better.
What i want to do is the following:
Cook and release a streamlined minimalist AKU 3.x (any AKU 3 version rom, be it 3.1,3.3,3.5)
however, my knowledge in this department is a little lacking.
is there ANYBODY in here who runs a charmer and has a little knowledge in cooking roms?
I'm thinking it would be as simple as the following:
1) extract AKU2.0 ROM from Charmer
2) Remove 'OS' part from the rom
3) extract AKU3.5 ROM from prophet (as this is the closest device)
4) insert the OS from the prophet into the charmer rom
5) Patch with drivers for charmer
6) recompile and away you go!
is there ANYBODY here who is willing to help?!
thank you
helmi_c is seems to be working on it. I have downloaded his AKU3 rom with nottice that it is not yet designed for regular user - and it really isn't Spent two days ressurecting my poor charmer...

ive been looking at it too. only 2 things ive noticed is a problem with the sound and internet sharing apart from that its seems fine.
well, i'll be happy if you can provide me a copy for testing - i will send you feedback, of course
Hey
well, once my charmer comes back from repair, needless to say, i will be beta testing a good, clean, stable aku 3.3 wm5 release!
dave, could you provide some sort of quick guide on how to modify the extended rom please?!
thanx
Oh boy, if this gets uploaded would i be able to upgrade to it?
I have tried a few times with dave's other rom but had no luck as i cant unlock my phone due to, i believe, upgraing using the tmobile original file. before cid unlocking it. As i understand it i now have v2 bootloeaders which cant be cid unlocked.
Hi
Hows development of this going now? not heard anything, have PM'd Helmi
would really like to release an AKU3.x rom for the charmer, would be perfect!
an have you any response from helmi? waiting for aku 3.x so long
Well, who needs Aku3 anyway if there's a rom with wm6? ;-)
I wrote a mail to T-Mobile (Germany) and asked them about any planned updates for the Charmer. As soon as I get a response, I'm gonna post it of course.
youser, i wouldnt hold out any hope for a wm6 rom for anything currently out apart from the VERY high end like the universal/hermes
i havent had a response from helmi yet, going to wait out a little while longer.
dave106 appears to have had a 'semi-working' rom on his device albeit minor things not working like camera, but im *hoping* that shouldn't be too difficult to fix.
if dave or helmi could please please please please please (pretty) please post an update on the status of an AKU 3.x update it would be extremely helpful!!
well i'll be jumping ship soon, replacing the casing and ebaying up my charmer as im moving onto the trinity.
is there NO hope for any charmer users at the moment?! will you not help us develope a little?!
if you could provide me with a *test* rom, that has bugs in it, i could probably work on ironing out the bugs (worth mentioning that i only use my charmer solely as a PDA, not as a phone)
please dave! we need help from the masters of xda-devs!
Well, helmi's aku 3.3 rom is available on pdamobiz.com. Speed is excellent, but unfortunately this ROM contains a lot of stuff included :-(
If you can live without some regional settings, which are missing (eg. czech), this ROM might be useful for you.
