Good ROM/Radio Assessment Article

http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=518&more=1
Author's conclusion is that ROM 1.6.7.1 with radio 01.13.10 is the fastest EDGE and USB connection speeds with stable ROM. I'm using a ROM 1.6.11.1 with 01.13.10 radio with great results.

Your iMate KJAM is a HTC Wizard thus the author's recommendation of ROM 1.6.7.1 & Radio 1.13.10 is valid. I have a MDA Vario and flashed to this combo with no problems. There is no "best" ROM as the hardware is basically all the same.
By reviewing this xda-developers section on Wizard, you'll form an impression on what works and what doesn't and the pluses / minuses of each.
All the best,
Craig

Question... What is this making sure your phone is CID unlocked?
Carrier unlocked?
Mine is an unlocked Imate K-Jam?
Can I just upgrade the Rom?
Thanks

Look in aWizard ROM util link

Forgive me gentlemen as I am very new to this specific device... I ran the Awizard tools and used the CID unlock and backed up that file... I'm assuming that is to restore it incase of sending in for warranty?
I then backed up all (radio, rom, extended)
Okay so now my question is... Can I just run the Qtek rom executable or should I used the Awizard tools to do the Radio and Rom seperately...
Is there any difference? Can I even just upgrade by double clicking the executable? Will it give me a new extended rom then?
Finally, is there any software differences between the Qtek and the Imate?
I just want to use the Qtek rom until the latest I-mate rom comes out.
Thanks for your guys help.. I know you will be able to answer my questions....

Upgrading from Qtek 2.18 Rom to T-Mobile 2.21 Rom

Got a little question for you guys,
Right now I have a Qtek 2.18 Rom installed (which I like very much), but wanna do a hard-reset and was thinking about an upgrade to a newer Dutch Rom.
The only newer Dutch Rom is the T-Mobile 2.21 Rom, but I DO NOT like all the T-Mobile customisations.
So my question is, if I install the T-Mobile Rom and then cut it off right before the customisation tools, will it be a clean Rom then, almost the same if that I would cut of the Qtek 2.18 Rom just before customisation tools will be installed? Or do I still have a lot of T-Mobile junk installed?
If it will be a clean WM5, I will install some of the Qtek and some of the T-Mobile Extended_Rom CABS to get a "normal" WM5 again (with MMS folder, ClearVue PDF and stuff like that).
I ask this question because as far as I know I CAN NOT downgrade to the Qtek 2.18 Rom again once I upgraded it to the T-Mobile 2.21 Rom (am I right?) so I cannot test it out for fun
Regards,
Molski

Upgrading from Qtek 2.18 to T-Mobile 2.21 Rom (no problem!!)
Right now I am at work and got very bored, so I started to do some things for myself....like upgrading my Rom
Although I didn't got an answer to my questions, I took the shot and upgraded to a Dutch T-Mobile 2.21 Rom (with the chance that if I didn't like the T-Mobile Rom full of crap, I couldn't go back to my Dutch Qtek 2.18 Rom!).
So before my lunchbreak I upgraded it to the 2.21 Rom, tested it out for about 2 hours and came to the conclusion that it just sucked. I really don't like ANY carrierlogo's, skins, green batterymeter in the taskbar and other stuff of T-Mobile (cause I hate pink on my phone, it's not a gay or girls phone!).
So I tried to downgrade it and guess what, right NOW (while I am typing) my Rom is downgrading from T-Mobile 2.21 to Qtek 2.18 again without ANY problems!
This are the steps I have done with my Wizard (from the moment I got it):
- CID Unlocked my T-Mobile 1.08 Stock Rom
- Upgraded to this Qtek 2.18 Rom: RUU_Prodigy_2180706_21807106_20710_QTEK_Generic_DUT_Ship_2
- Upgraded again to this T-Mobile 2.21 Rom: RUU_Prodigy_2210205_22102108_021911_TMO_NL_DUT_Ship
- Downgraded my 2.21 Rom to my (good old) Qtek 2.18 Rom: RUU_Prodigy_2180706_21807106_20710_QTEK_Generic_DUT_Ship_2
So I don't understand why it's possible for me to downgrade/upgrade to whatever Rom I want and that other people have so many problems with this issue.
When Qtek releases a new Dutch Rom (hopefully an AKU2.3 Rom) I will upgrade my Wizard and will see if I can still downgrade it again.

Molski

How did you make super CID? What tools did you use for it? I have Qtek 9100, ROM version of this device is 2.17.7.2 WWE.
IPL 2.17.001
SPL 2.17.001
GSM 02.07.10
OS 2.17.7.2
I did the following operations to make the device SUPER CID:
I synchronized the devece with Active Sync 4.1 .
I started aWizard 1.3 beta 1.
I checked options u and e with aWizard 1.3 beta 1.
Then I started Lokiwiz02b and checked option C.
But it did not help.
After that I tried application unlock for SDA, and then started option C with Lokiwiz02b, but it didn't help.
How can I make the device SUPER CID?

When my Wizard got delivered by the mailman, the very first thing I did was CID unlock with LokiWiz 2.0b (the stock rom was a T-Mobile 1.08 Rom), after that I did an upgrade to the Qtek 2.18 Rom, today I did the upgrade to the T-Mobile 2.21 Rom and also today I downgraded it again to the 2.18 Rom.
Nothing more, nothing less
But I wanna know one thing for sure: By the upgrading and downgrading I did I can be sure my Wizard is Super CID unlocked or not (maybe Summiter, Machinagod, Faria or someone else can answer this for me)?
Or do I have to do some more testing to make sure? Right now, I am willing to try any Rom...as long it is in Dutch and not WWE, I would freak out if I upgrade it again to the WWE Mr. Clean Rom or something and then notice that I can't downgrade anymore
Another question:
Is there maybe someone that knows when Qtek is gonna release a new Rom?
I noticed a positive difference in the performance between the 2.18 and 2.21 Rom, but just like I said, I hate T-Mobile Roms, because they have a bunch of crap in them (like carrierlogo's and stuff like that)? And there are no Clean Custom Roms in Dutch language, so I have to stick with the Qtek Roms for now!

What makes a AKU2 ROM different? And a couple other ?s

Hello,
I just recently picked myself up a T-Mobile MDA and am now feeling comfortable enough to flash my first ROM. I have read, searched, and printed may of topics on this site and a few others but I have a few questions I was hoping you guys could help me with.
First, What makes a AKU2 ROM different from a non-AKU2 ROM? And for that matter what makes the AKU3.2 ROM different?
Also, When it is said "this ROM is for SPL/IPL 2.xx G3 phones only" does this mean that it is for any SPL/IPL that does not have the trailing .0001 (thus making it a G4 phone) and it would work with a 1.xx G3 phone? Is there a change log somewhere?
Finally, once a phone is CID unlocked I gather that it is for the most part permanent? In other words if I were to upgrade to say a newer AKU2 ROM would that then forbid me from downgrading back to my original 1.8.10.2 WWE ROM? I have read that posts indicating that you would be able to downgrade to 1.03 and then upgrade, I just want to confirm that I am understanding this correctly.
I currently have some pretty old ROMs on this stock MDA:
IPL: 1.08
SPL: 1.08
RADIO: 01.09.10
ROM: 1.8.10.2 WWE
I am really excited to upgrade the ROM on this thing if for no other reason than to upgrade the Radio ROM! ROM 2.47 not withstanding, Radio ROM 2.25/6 included in most of the custom ROMs must be a huge improvement over 1.9.10.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Tom

AKU2 roms are push email enabled they also have stereo bluetooth support, now AKU3.2 roms have improved bluetooth drivers and lots of "other" improvements

I have AKU2.6 and have push email but no bluetooth stereo.
Started a thread in Hacking and Development asking for help/why. No luck yet. I've tried every hack I could find.
So from what you are saying the support is in the AKU 2.6 ROM ,
but Samsung, Sprint or some other "confounded wingnut" decided not to take advantage of or /implement it !?!
BOY, DO I HOPE THEY RELEASE AN UPDATE!

Ratcom,
Thanks for the quick reply bro! Very helpful stuff.
A though of another question if you don't mind....
What the does SPL/IPL stand for and what do they each do? I know that they are bootloaders but why the need for two? Is one for the PDA ROM and one for the radio ROM? Kinda meaningless question but I was just curious. Thanks again.

Upgrading again. Needing help!

Its been a while since I've on here. And I'm looking to upgrade my Cingular 8125 yet again.
PART-I:
Ok the first thing I want to try is just upgrading my Radio Rom since I'm missing calls and voicemails with no notification. My current Radio Rom is 02.25.11 and I seriously need this upgraded so any suggestion to which rom to use. (Please give me a link for upgrading Radio Rom only)
PART-II:
Maybe its time for me to upgrade the full ROM which is right now 2.17.7.2 WWE with Ext Rom 2.25.11.102. Its been pretty good. Not the fastest but has been very stable for me. Any rom's I should upgrade to, maybe even the Crossbow?

flash the t-mobile one that everyone loves, for the radio 2.26, then flash another which has the ext rom you want
I don't like wm6, it's buggy, and some progs don't work fully such as sbp products
superrom is quickest for me
followed by molski's 2.3
check the stickies for lockiwiz to get the t-mob, google for the others/pirate bay etc

T Mobile UK has released the new ROM for wizard, WM5

Try it,
http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/dm_vario1_sw.html

Just flashed it. Lots of bugs have been fixed. Seems to go faster too. Been trying out custom roms but not found one i am happy with yet. Cheers

Thank you for this. I will be flashing this rom in a bit. Will update!!

Can this ROM be used here in the US? What have you found in this new ROM that would be worthwhile to Flash?
Thanks in Advance for your information.

This rom is not newer than T-Mobile HR's rom
I think it is not newer than T-Mobile HR'rom.Sometimes, it still can not turn on wifi from com manager.

Have to say been testing this with it at 247 on omap and it is very fast looks like a good rom over all

Any other senior members or mods have a take on this rom yet?

It's definitely a newer version than the latest version released by T-Mobile US but I think that in order to use this here in America, you will need to CID unlock your device.

That's just saved my brick Got stuck on bootloader after a failed wm6 flash. This has sorted it out -thanks for the link as I couldn't find it in the usual place on the t-mobile site.

Has anyone tried this with the T-Mobile USA MDA?
If so, how did the upgrade process go? Were you able to upgrade directly from the latest official Tmo USA MDA ROM? Did you have to unlock the phone first?
What advantages and/or disadvantages have you noticed, from the most recent official TMOUSA MDA ROM? Does your MDA run faster now? Does stereo bluetooth work better? Is your MDA more or less stable with this ROM? Any change in its functionality as a phone? Any change in battery life?
Etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.

Will this work for US original MDA rom?
