Yeah, right.
An unofficial ROM is available from the Warranty centre, on which thousands of people rely on for support.
That's kinda like saying that Microsoft have released Longhorn as it is now (bugs and all) and are supporting it anyway! :roll:

Hmmm... Appearently, they DID have the 1.31 ROM at the service center, but the place I went to is only a collection point and they need to send the unit over to the workshop to have it flash, and they said FIVE days!!!
And after chatting with the rep there, the only difference between O2's 1.31 ROM and the launch ROM is the BT patch! Leochan2005 in this forum already has the 1.31 ROM and looking at the info he has posted... It does look like it's only the BT patch.. Why on earth would O2 change the ROM version to 1.31 if it's only the BT patch????????
Here's Leochan2005 ROM info...
ROM: 1.31.00 WWE
ROM Date: 31 Dec 2004
Radio Version: 1.02.00
Protocol Version: 1.337.32
ExROM version 1.31.920 WWE

Sorry for late reply: My 1.31 version, the bluetooth version is 1.0.0 Build 3500.
It detects bluetooth device much faster than my XDAII
But do not know why the radio rom is still 1.02, and do not know whether I can only update this radio rom into more latest version

I remembered that I bought my machine on 27 or 28 Dec 2004, do not know why the rom date is 31 Dec 2004

You can update only radio ROM. To do this backup your device, download official ROM update, extract it with WinRar into any directory, delete files ms_.nbf and nk.nbf. Then enter bootloader, place your device into cradle and run BaUpgradeUt.exe. This would update only radio ROM.
Can you dump your ROM to SD-card and upload to XDA-developers FTP? You may use this tool: http://mamaich.kasone.com/imate/ROMDump.rar
To use it copy ARMV4Rel\ROMDump.exe to your device and run it. It would create a 64-mb file on your SD-card.
And can you also make a copy of your extended ROM? The easiest way to do this is to install TotalCommander on your device, open directory "\extended_rom\" (without quotes, you have to type its name manually, it is hidden) and copy its contents somewhere.

RE
Is this ROM meant for the XDA II? What does it contain? WM2003SE, WMP 10, landscape mode support...?
:roll:

so any1 putting this rom up for downloading?

Dear all
Can you tell me how can I dowload the rom update in order to update my radio rom?
Also, if failure during update, can I revert back to the rom backup in the SD card using the method mentioned above? Can you tell me how to do this?

Dear all
By the way, can I use the radio rom from XDAII for my XDAIIs as I understand XDAIIs is a 4 brand radio but XDAII is only a 3 brand?

ROM Date: 12/13/04
Radio version: 1.02.00
Protocol version 1337.32

I heard at the CEBit conference in Las Vegas, i-mate released a BT patch that did that.

There exists an official 1.31 English ROM upgrade. It is called i-mate_PDA2k_Arabic_13100_112_10600_SHIP.exe and can be downloaded from Imate site. After installation you should edit extended ROM and remove unnecessary arabisation and operator customisations. With this method I've updated my device to:
Rom: 1.31.00 WWE
Radio: 1.06.02
Extrom: 1.31.112 (cooked)

[T-Mobile UK- MDA III] Upgrading Rom - help for newbie

Hi everybody.
First of all, thanks for this really nice forum.
I am a complete newbie in Pocket PC world. I am coming from Palm world. In fact, I was so much disapointed by palm that I decided to switch.
So, I have just purchased in London a second hand T-Mobile MDA III. I have unlock really easily with the program I found on this forum.
Now I want to upgrade the ROM because regarding the version of mine, it seems pretty old. Here is my version description :
ROM Version : 1.06.00 ENG
ROM date : 08/05/04
Radio Version : 1.00.00
Protocol Version : 1337.30
ExtROM version : 1.06.117 WWE
Model No. : PH20B
I have read a lot of information about this subject, but to be honest I am completly lost.
First I don't understand what is an extended rom ? I mean why there is two roms.
Secondly, what is the last version of the ROM I can use to upgrade my MDA III. I don't care that much about the T-Mobile configuration since I am using it in France. So anyway I will have to put another configuration for my carrier. So what ROM can I put and what is the process to do the upgrade. For the moment I don't want to upgrade to WM5 just new version of WM2003 SE. In fact, if at the same time I can get rid of the T-Mobile branding, it would be great, but it's my principal reason for upgrade.
Also, my last question is that sometimes after using my mda, it seems to run quite slow, specially display. Do you know what is the reason ? I am thinking it might be relating with the use of WM9.
Thanks a lot for your help guys.
Julien.

Hi
First of all: read all the wiki section for BA (BlueAngel)
It's quite well explained there.
Your roms are indeed old.
Go to the wiki section and download newest rom update.
( I think that I-mate's update has ROM 1.40.00WWE with Radio 1.12.00 and ExtROM 1.40.176WWE )
Upgrading is very simple, when you follow wiki.
ExtROM is a portion of ROM that contains installation files for provider-specific applications and some hotfices (CAB files). ExtROM can be edited by user (cooking) to personalize your device best.
At your point I suggest using extROM from this update.

Thanks a lot Robal.
I had to check some other post, because my current ROM was in ENG. So I use some trick to use WWE Rom.
But now it is working great.
Julien.

BlackBerry Connection 2.0 From UK XDA IIs or IIi upgrade

Anyone can extract out the .cab file for the BlackBerry connect 2.0 for the XDA IIs or IIi for the latest 1.40.xxx ROM
Want to try it locally in Singapore to see if it works
Thanks a lot....

Any can help to extract the cab file? Thanks....

It's on the ftp, just uploaded it to /Uploads/BlueAngel!

Hi notepad, I supposed the cab even installed on ROM other than the official ROM (radio and ms) will not work. This is because RIM checks on the use of right version before it allows the connection to go through. This is the case even for XDAII (which will only work for 1.72)
I have upgraded entirely to their O2 UK version and BB is working perfectly fine for my XDAIIi now in Singapore.

Yah, I am using the Offical 1.40 from 02 Asia version with radio ROM 1.12, the device is able to generate my PIN, so it is more that sufficient to subscribe the service right.

Perhaps I was not clear enough in my previous mail. Blackberry Connect should only work with the version it is released together with and no just any official O2 release. This was the case for XDAII.
In this case for XDAIIs, the version should be v1.40.237. Well, in any case, it's worth a try. No harm done right? Good luck!

actually the 1.40.xxx at the back is the extended ROM function, the core ROM is 1.40. I believe that as long as you use 1.12 ROM it should be ok.
My Device Info are
ROM: 1.40.00 WWE
ROM Date: 03/10/05
Radio Version: 1.12.00
Protocol Version: 1.337.42
ExtROM Version: 1.40.923 WWE
What about yours?

I am using XDAIIi, not XDAIIs.
ROM: 1.11.00 WWE
Radio: 1.00.00
Protocol: 1337.39
ExtROM: 1.11.169 WWE

would someone be kind enough to post the link to the blackberry cab file. Either I'm being stupid or I'm experiencing problems with my XDA Exec.
Thanks

The cab i put on the ftp was for XDA IIs and XDA IIi, I would be very surprised if it would work on Exec.
Log into the ftp with xda as both username and password and go to uploads/blueangel and you will find it there.

Got it working with an XDA IIs, connecting to a BlackBerry Internet Service in Singapore ( StarHub ).

I'm no techie but I'm interested to upgrade my XDAiis with blackberry capabilities. Can you teach me please? I tried accessing the FTP site but no can do. Appreciate any assistance.
Thanks.

BB Clients for WM5 are currently being tested by various providers such as O2. Only a matter of time now before they will come out. My hunch is around the end of 2005, early 2006

Which is the right cab?
Hi,
I've browsed around /BlueAngel and found two BBConnect cabs. The English version is 1.2 and doesn't generate a PIN. The other version is German 2.0 which does generate PIN.
Is this the version that we uploaded? As I don't understand German, can you please upload the Cab again?
Thanks so much.

I had problems with the installing of the BB service file when I upgraded my Radio ROM from 1.12.00 to 1.13.00, so i down graded again,

I could be wrong but...
I don't think anybody ever got this to work on anything other than the standard T-Mobile or O2 phones.
It's a lost cause -- I wasted countless hours on it, and I hope I save you from doing the same...

Thanks for the tip... Not too surprised as not many people claim to have got it working. Wanted to "repeat" Notepad's "success" since I'm also in Singapore.
Actually, I tried the German version last night. But SingTel's BB registration page rejected the PIN and IMEI I gave it.

Get Device Data

Hi there,
Thank you in advance for the continous development of new ROM for XDA IIs or AKA Blue Angel.
I am just getting ready of upgrading my rom, when I run from my PDA and copy the "get device data" information on PC, I could hardly read the operator, I have look around the forum with no luck. So I wonder if anybody can help me out what am I missing.
I have attached my get device data information for easy reference.
Again thank you for any help on this and I am so excited to do my ROM upgrade.
My Device Info as follows:
XDA IIs bought in Hong Kong (original in chinese but manage to update with an old english rom)
Rom Version: 5.03.02 WWE
Rom Date: 03/02/05
Radio Version: 1.12.00
Protocol Vers. 1337.42

help Please!!! Really stressed!!!!

All I want to do is get my QTEK 9100 to work with my new Parrott MK6000 hands free kit so that I can stream music through my car speakers. Parrot have told me on their forum:
http://www.parrot.biz/forums/english/viewtopic.php?id=3759
to update to the latest ROM for my device. Is there an issue with audio streaming with the QTEK 9100? I think I read on one of these threads that there was, hence the reason I am trying so hard to update.
The device info for my QTEK is as follows:
ROM Version: 2.17.7.2
Rom date: 2/10/06
Radio Version: 02.07.10
Protocol Version: 413.1.03
ExtROM Version: 2.17.7.102
I have been reading this forum for ages now. I have unlocked my CID (even though the device is G4 and I now understand that that was not necessary) and I have tried to update to the ROM on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1172977&postcount=361
but have recieved an error 300 message.
Is that because that ROM is not compatiable with my PDA?
If that is the case, is it only the ROM's on this page
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Upgrades
that are compatiable with the respective phones and if that is the case then I must have the latest ROM and can not upgrade any further?
I would like to have the very latest ROM (just to be flash) and have therefore set my computer to retrieve the seed for Faria's latest ROM version on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291806&page=85
is that going to work or am i wasting my time?
Any help would be really appreciated and I am sorry if I have missed something whilst scanning this forum.

there are a bunch of roms out there , seems like everyone has there own cooked version.
It is possible that your pda/phone doesnt like that rom version.
Try finding another rom image?
jeff

Can anyone recommend one that might possibly work? Its just that its difficult to tell from all the different ones out there. Also does the Rom Image have to be specific for my phone or will any do?
