http://www.orange.co.uk/M2000_patch/
Major apologies if I'm double posting here
Has anyone tried this yet - Ive tried the WM5 version and after fiddling with wm5 for days and finding it slower than wm2003 I reverted to the imate 1.40 rom for performance & stabilty - Anyone think is it worth upgrading to this one?
this is really 1.40 rom, its not win2005

As a recent newbie with a M2000, I have a quick query:
(I have searched already but didn;t see an answer)
Is there a list of differences/features between the iMate and QTEK ROMs ?
Thanks for the great info here I have successfully unlocked the M2000 and flashed it with QTEK firmware, and am basically curious about what (dis)advantages the iMate ROM has vs QTEK.
Ideally want a reliable unit with no operator branding.
Hi There,
I am buying a Wizard (MDA Vario) for an Australian friend of mine that's coming over for a visit and naturally she wants the wizard in English.
However, I can easily (and very cheaply) get the Dutch version from T-Mobile in the Netherlands since I am renewing my partners contract.
So I guess I need to flash a new WWE rom onto the Dutch T-Mobile...
My questions:
I am aware of the WWE I-Mate Rom that you can download from the club I-Mate ftp site.
1. Is this a good rom - and will it work 100% problem free with the Dutch MDA Vario?
2. Are there any other or better alternatives? any links to other roms? maybe a T-Mobile UK rom or QTEK 9100? which WWE rom is considered the most stable and non sluggish?
I appreciate you kind help and effort.
Cheers,
Lisa
Lisa, I am having the same issue ,e xcept mine is Currently with Orange and a French OS.
If I find out more info, I'll let you know.
Cheers
Rob
I have a Dutch MDA myself.
Just flashed the Imate rom today with WWE.
Seems to work great.
No problems at all.
Qwerty keyboard is the same too.
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..
Okay I had been running the leaked Qtek 9100 2.8 Rom with some great success. I just added a few of the T-Mobile comm manager and other misc applications. I recently got my MDA replaced by T-Mobile (cracked Touch Screen) and now I'm back at square one.
I was thinking maybe there was an official release of 2.8 or a newer version I can try. i don't mind living on the edge and backup regularly.
Any help is appriciated.
I am running the Imate release version (none of their customizations though - just a handful of the T-Mo ones) with good success.....
I just updated my US T-Mobile MDA to the new Qtek ROm and everything works great! Right now my guess is to try both the i-mate and Qtek ROMs out there. Good Luck!

If you're not going to load their respective customizations there is no codebase difference between the Imate and Qtek ROMs. Same code.
i just put the newest i-mate rom on it, then entered the T-Mobile settings for gprs/umts ( you can use program for it) its working fine...

POST UPDATE
Hi guys!
I have replaced the cab (Please, MDAUserIII, replace the previous files for the new one) because it was a mistake in the registry. The camera button didn't work. I opened the configuration cab and I realized that "\Windows\AppButtons" directory was set as "\Windows\BoutonsApp" (as in the French version of WM2k3). I have corrected this mistake. Now everything it's working fine.
Two weeks ago, I sent my SPV M2000 to be repaired (broken screen) at Cirma Electronics (official Qtek and Orange repair dealer in France) near Bordeaux. They have returned my unit with this new version installed.
That's it. Enjoy ;-)
being an orange france BA user, could you possibly go to www.orange.fr log in using your details and download the whole shipped exe (including radio and CE images) to share with us?

Hi Midget_1990!
Orange France web site is really awfull for updates. The latest update you can find is the following:
http://fteb.orange.fr/monmobile/faq_spv2000/RUU_2.2_OrangeFR_v5.40.2.223_ship.exe
and it's intended ONLY for French versions...
You only can get updates in English for Corporate users. These updates are never published in their site. That's the reason I made a backup copy.
Sorry, mate.
Regards.
Replaced the file and now downloading the 1.40 rom.

Can you please give us the MS Build nr of this 1.42 rom
ROM and EXTROM versions
MDAIIIUser,
I got back my unit from the repair service with ROM Version 1.42.00 WWE ans the Operator version 5.42.1.179
I have also tried the Operator version 5.42.1.179 with ROM Version 1.40.00 WWE and it works fine also. Although, this Entended version WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY with versions in other languages, because the Windows CE installation paths are not the same.
So guys, if you have a SPV M2000 with ROM 1.42.00 WWE or 1.40.00 WWE, this is an excellent Extended ROM, but if you have a localized Windows ROM (ie. French, German, Spanish...), you shouldn't use.
The ROM takes the full 16Mb ROM storage. I asume Orange's choice to have only ONE configuration CAB is due to the limitation of 16Mb ROM storage.
I haven't tried the French version available at Orange France Web site http://fteb.orange.fr/monmobile/faq_spv2000/RUU_2.2_OrangeFR_v5.40.2.223_ship.exe , because I don't want French ROMs. Besides, this ROM seems not to have java included, because there was not available place in the Extended ROM for the java CAB (someone wrote that in another forum).
