Hi, I have a pda2k and am trying to work out which is the best Rom version to upgrade to. I have tried to work this out from the wiki and other posts but am still unsure, and am slightly nervous! I also cannot find many posts from other people who have upgraded pda2ks.
The versions I am currently running are below.
ROM Version: 1.12.22
Extended ROM version: 1.12.169
Radio Version: 1.02.00
Is this latest Imate rom (i-mate_PDA2k_WWE_12200_162_10600_SHIP.exe) the best one to install or would something like the 1.33 Siemens rom be better (would it work on this device)?
Thanks
Pda2k rom upgrade
A new rom upgrade is available at www.clubimate.com.
Thanks Junie, the rom I refer to in my post is the latest English rom on the clubimate website. I was wondering if that was the best one to install.
Well Wiki says that the highest is the imate 1.31 (Arabic) with radio 1.06.02 and cooking your own exteneded rom.
It does not tell you how to use the siemens rom as nobody has posted to the "List of know Blueangel, sold as, Model ID, Operator code ect" thread.
But you can read that siemes thread to work it out.
Wiki does tell you how to fix the probem of lack of a camera with the siemens rom if you went that way.
thanks mda. I think I am going to go with the 1.22 imate rom with my own extended rom.
Don't forget the 1.33.10 upgrade from the SX66 Update made possible for PDA2K by mamaich! I used that plus the Camera reinstate CAB file I made and my PDA2K nicely. I am now getting proper voicemail notification icons on Cingular's network.
Yes, I have been looking at that. One thing I noticed is that there is no ms_.nba. This means that the fix.bat gives me errors. Is this normal?
The mamaich hack version is only the os, this is due to the fact that the ext rom is someting that you should cook your self and that the radio is outdated.
The original rom was made with the new encription, mamaich! reboxed it so that it would work with the tools.
I too have a PDA2K and am running the 1.33.110 WWE Siemens rom with 1.06.02 radio from the qtek rom, and I applied the Wlan patch, the 3900 build upgrade, and the camera patch, and all is well.I get good b/t range now (25ft) and the wifi does not disconnect me.I just put on the O2 plus cab too,and it seems to be alright.I like the Icons,but it does slow the unit down a little sometimes.

Please tell me which Bluetooth headset works best with your PDA2K. We have matching versions on everything, but I can't get more than 3 feet line-of-sight away from my PDA2K with my HS810 or my Meritline Bluetooth headset. Almost makes me think the BT on this phone is useless.
ok, flashed the siemens bios with radio. works great and was much easier than I thought!

Nice setup you have there, BeyondtheTech...!
How do you like your system at the moment? Is this setup working for you and is the iMate stable? If so, would you mind uploading your CABS, so I can play with them as well?
As far as BT, I upgraded to 3900, was not satisfied, BT headset got worse. Then I bought a new headset (Logitech, BT supporting version 1.2), downgraded to 3500, applied the patch, and all seems ok now.
Hope that helps ya!
I am using a Motorola HS820. I was using a jabra,but it sucked! I got my radio from the Qtek 1.22.167 WWE rom.It seemed to be better than the radio in the 1.22.557 rom for some reason. It is very stable now.
At about 15ft the b/t starts to get a little bit of static,but is clear enough to use easily. At 25ft you are at the end of you're USABLE range,tho!
Hope this helps......Later

I would love to try your solution!
Did you install the complete 1.22.167 WWE ROM or did you extract the radio.nbf and replaced it with the one on your OEM ROM?
I had been using the 1.22.167WWE Qtek Rom w/1.06.02 when the Siemens Rom came out,so the radio was the easy part. The rest,I read and got alot of help.....LOL

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,

Hi O2inCN, six, leochan2005, yatlee,
Have you backed up your ROMs by SD method? Can you load it into the ftp please?
Thanks very much.
Cheers,
Yeah i need it too! pls upload your latest Asian !!
hi all
i have only just brought a secondhand spv m2000 orange nm8blueangel
thinking ..yes nice piece of kit.
the spec of the unit is as follows:
currently installed :
rom version 1.31.00 wwe
rom date 12/13/04
radio version 1.06.02
extrom version 1.31.162 wwe ( whatever the wwe means not sure)
anyway here goes:
all worked well until a friend bluetooth a video to me
but was unable to play because of a missing component.
the rom version when i brought had ver 1.4 installed
and everything worked well except the video clips,
i was told this was because packet video was not installed with ver 1.4
and was told to downgrade the rom to a 1.3
this was done but while now being able to play these video clips,
i have lost all use of my camera and video function`s.
i have re-flashed 3 times in the hope it would sort the problem out but no joy,
can anyone please help with this problem
and probably point me in the right direction as to what rom ver i should install on my device.
many thanks in advance,
but now i have no camera or video function`s available to me.
Hi all,
I'd like to start a thread concerning Radio GSM updating. (For Wizard G3)
Which Rom's are available and what are the experiences.
How to update and which tool to use to update.
The aim is to gether the information instead of fragmented in many threads.
(I spend many ours on this forum and found lots of info, but not so much about the Radio GSM ROM, furthermore when you use the search function you might end up in the wrong thread)
I hope all the cookers and engineers will post and many users will react with there experiences.
What's your radio. You should up radio Rom which attached in OS if your radio <2.2. It's safer.
Radio attached in OS
Ok,
that sounds interesting. I bought a used Wizard with a German WM5.
Off course I'd like a ducth OS WM6. So found a great one cooked by DRAVEN187!
I CID-unlocked (It wasn't SIM locked) it and flashed the ROM which was great. Then I was experiencing trouble with the Bluetooth of my new car (Citroen C4 GP) and decided to upgrade the IPL/ SPL and Radio.
I succeeded in upgrading the IPL and SPL but not in the Radio. So the IPL/SPL are 3.08 and the radio is 1.08.
My qeustion is: how can I determin if a OS has also a radio inside?
If i got it wright you mean first to upgrade with an OS with the Radio included < 2.2. Where Can I find this?
If this is done is it advisable to flash the dutch WM6 (again) and upgrade the Rom to a even higher version?
Does this higher radio version solve the communication problem with the car-bluetooth? (actually I don't think so...)
It seems more people experiencing trouble with WM 6 and car-bluetooth. Is there a cooker who can repair this?
Thanks for helping
There should be no ROM makers that will bundle Radio ROM to it.
And...there are standalone installers for Radio ROM only such as 2.71 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1808328).
Bluetooth problem is a OS problem, upgrading Radio ROM should not help (I have a i.Tech Clip S that doesn't work with any devices that uses WM6 ROM and Microsoft BT stack, no solution)
I have an XDA IIs with the following specs:
ROM VERSION : 6.11.00.WWE
ROM Date: 4/6/08
Radio VERSION: 1.12.00
Protocol version : 1337.42
ExtROM: xplode_7.00
I previously used wm2003SE and my bluetooth headset v1.1 worked fine, now on wm6 both my bluetooh headsets (for phone calls) v1.1 don't work , my firneds who owns a bluetooth v2 headset works fine on my IIs. Is there an upgrade so that both v1.1 and v2 can work ?
thanks!
Sammy
have you read about the common problems that wm6 brings into our beloved blue angel?? have you checkd the wiki?? please head to the wiki or use the handy dandy"search feature" in this forum, with this said , the little problem your having is one of many others you have to endure using a windows mobile version that was not meant for your phone.
cheers
