Need to update? - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

Hi.
These is my current pda2k, and I'm wondering if I *really* need to update anything, and if I do, what with? I've tried looking though the site, but the instructions seem really puzzling to me!
I have ROM version: 1.40.00 WWE
ROM date: 03/10/05
Radio version 1.12.00
Protocol verison 1337.42
ExtROM 1.40.176 WWE
Also, is it worth/possible to put in windows mobile 5.0 - I have 2003SE
Thank you! Matthew

Chances are VERY good that what you have now is a lot faster and more stable than any WM5 you could flash on your phone. If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it. I'm fortunate that I got 2003se back on my phone without any problem.

Radio version: 1.06.00
Protocol version: 1337.38

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

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

New and confused with my Blue Angel

You'll all have to excuse me if I appear a little confused.... I've only had my Blue Angel a few days and already it is driving me up th wall. I be going through the message boards day after day and now I'm unsure which way to turn with it. Configuration of my unit is as follows:
Orange SPV M2000 - Unlocked, I use both Orange and O2 sims in it.
Operator version: 5.31.1.124
ROM version: 1.31.00 WWE
ROM date: 12/13/04
Radio version: 1.06.02
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtRom version 1.31.124 WWE
Bluetooth version: 1.0.0 Build 3500
Windows Mobile 2003 SE: 4.21.1088
So far its faults seem to be
1. Not compatible with my Bluetooth car kit (nokia CK 7W).
2. Occasionally people are telling me that I sound really distant when making calls (when using it as a phone, e.g with to my ear - I don't do wired ear pieces)
Could anyone please recommend the upgrades I should be looking to use? By upgrading roms etc will a loose its unlocked ablity?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
You can use the latest rom upgrades that are available i.e 1.40 Rom version. After upgarding the rom ur device will not be locked once unlocked it remains unlocked. all the blueetooth and other issues would be resolved after the rom upgrade.
The complete details of the latest rom are as follows:
ROM Version: 1.40.00 WWE
ROM Date: 03/10/05
Radio version: 1.13.00
Protocol version: 1337.42
ExtROM version: 1.40.147
for the rom link u can have a look in the forum there are a couple of updates availble from different opereators.
cheers
jeet
Thanks for that, I've upgraded it using the imate PD2k 1.40 rom set. The unit seems to be functioning better already and it has got rid of some of the rubbish Orange had installed on it.
Now at:
ROM version: 1.40 WWE
ROM date: 03/10/05
Radion Version: 1.12.00
Protocol version: 1337.42
ExtROM version: 1.40.176 WWE
Bluetooth version 1.0.0 Build 3900
Windows Mobile 2003SE Version 4.21.1088 (build 15045.2.6.0)
Guess I'll just have to see how this performs........
Had fun trying to upgrade it, country ID error thing kept coming up but got there in the end using the advice from this site. I guess that must be something to do with my phone being unlocked? The only info the device data utility gave me was:
PH20B 0 B WWE E
Any way thanks agin for your help

Nope, I guess it was because you actually read the Wiki pages and the advice on this forum
Fair point.......... It's all there if you read in to it

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?

Anyone moved their BA from O2 to IMate or other stable ROM?

Looking for input from those who have already done this. I'm ready to go, currently on the latest O2 Asia ROM but having stability issues. Which way did you do it, was it successful and so on. Have been through all the wiki doco but want to hear from others before tipping over the edge!
Thanks
Just go a head & do it :wink:

Thanks Rashdi.
How did you sort out the password issues? Were you able to get it working by using the editfix.bat technique with the xda3nbftool?

Qtek 9090 upgraded to WM5, ExtROM version 0.0!!

Hi all,
I'm a newbie in all those technical questions. Yet, I've read a lot of valuable things at this forum and decided to upgrade my Qtek 9090 using IvanV4R3_RAMDisk32_1.11.zip.
Before I had the following parameters:
ROM version: 1.22.00 WWE
ROM date: 10/22/04
Radio version: 1.06.00
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtROM version: 1.22.123 WWE
Now it has changed into the following:
ROM version: 5.03.02 WWE
ROM date: 03/02/05
Radio version: 1.06.00
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtROM version: 0.0
Well, the device is operating but something tells me there's something wrong here...
Please advice what I did wrong - shall I update the ExtROM separately or what?
P.S. Oops, I've read somewhere here that in WM5 there's no ExtROM - maybe that's why the version is 0.0. Yet, I leave the question just to make sure this is right.
P.P.S. Sorry if this topic has been discussed somewhere, the intformation is so vast, I couldn't find that...
Ext-Rom is usually network or distributor-based customisation, such as O2's O2 Connect and O2 Active, HP's PhotoSmart, etc. Now, since this is an informal effort, there is no ExtRom
Thanx
OK, thanks for informing me!
I wonder if I ever need that ExtROM stuff then... Do you think it's useful and for what purposes?
Depends. Sometimes those "little extra tidbits" can help and be useful. Such as O2SMS Plus is sometimes useful, or O2 Active
