OK, been trying to figure out this ROM update hotchpotch for a while now, and while I have some better knowledge, some of it still isn't clear.
Before you say use the search, I have, but as I say, it's all so random and all over the place it's unclear.
OK, so I have an M2000. I am running as follows:
Operator Version 5.12.1.139
ROM Versn 1.12.22 WWE
ROM date 09/27/04
Radio Versn 1.04.00
Protocol Versn 1337.35
ExtROM Versn 1.12.139.WWE
BT v1.0.0 Build 2200
Now looking at what versions are available, this seems pretty old, right.
Now as I understand it, the ExtROM can be updated by unlocking it, replacing the files from the 1.31 archive, re-locking and doing a hard reset - then once it's booted it'll go through the customisation procedure like it normally does, only with the updated ExtROM (which I can customise/cook to what updates I want).
OK, so I understand that much - however...then I have a mismatch between ExtROM and Normal ROM, right?
ROM would be 1.12.22 and the ExtRom would be 1.31.XX yes? Is this a problem?
How do I go about updating the main ROM to 1.31 also? The same goes for radio and bluetooth. I know full well that my bluetooth is well out of date - but there are so many versions, most of which are unhelpfully named. One I see said 1.00.3500, which is what I hear is what I want, but what are all the others about?
Can anyone help put it into plain english for me, without saying "Use the search" or posting a link to wiki?
Thanks.
If you have a look at this thread, it gives you a process you can follow. It is for an older set of updates. But if you have a look on the FTP site and pick full update files with the 1.31 CE rom and 1.06.02 Radio rom, you should be able to follow it through.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=16251&highlight=
OK, i had a look through, and it sorta makes more sense, but the problem is the updates are so different I don't get it :S
For example, the file names on the ftp are so cryptic it doesn't help.
I have downloaded 1.33.10WWE.rar which is apparently a CE ROM from the SX66....
...however, I am aware the SX66 doesn't have a camera - does this matter?
Furthermore, in the bat file, there was a reference to an ms_.nbf file - I cant find out what this is. Do I need it?
I'm assuming nk_.nbf is the ROM itself.
Also, with regards to the radio ROM I have downloaded Radio 1.06.02 Edited for German Tmobile MDAIII.rar
What does editing it for German T-Mobile do? Does this have an effect?
Basically I could probably figure it out if everything had standard names. So far I don't think I've seen any naming conventions for the files, so I'm at a loss as to what I need.
OK, just found a useful page here:
http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=154
that managed to explain it a bit better.
So, it seems that the ms_.nbf is essentially the extrom, yes?
So how can I take the ExtROM Orange_UK_SPVM2000_Ext_ROM_131124.zip
and use it as an ms_.nbf?
or have I got it all wrong?
I have just got that new O2 one that was released recently, but I don't want O2 stuff plastered all over my phone...
OK, as a starting point I just tried to update the radio rom to 1.06.02.
After getting a little stuck I managed it ok, and it seems to be working fine....
Now all I need help with is figuring out how to get the other 2 bits sorted. i'm not too worried about the nk file (although it would appear it needs a password, which I'm unsure where to obtain)
but this ms file has thrown me way off course. Would I need to say, use the O2 one, and then re-do my ExtROM folder with the Orange stuff?
Assuming your device has the 1.31 rom on it, and Radio 1.06.02 (as you say you have installed. Then it's pretty easy to update the ExtRom to the latest Orange one.
Install the Extended Rom Unlocker initially through normal methods, copy the cab and run - ftp://xda:[email protected]_1_22/Tools//xda-developers_Unlocker.CAB. Then under Programs/Extended Rom Tools, click uhide and unlock and do a soft reset.
Download the M2000 ExtRom from ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/Extended_Roms/Orange_UK_SPVM2000_Ext_ROM_131124.zip
Go to the root of your device and into the 'Extended Rom' folder, delete the contents and replace with the contents of the zip file. Then Lock and Hide your extended rom and perform a hard reset.
If you haven't got 1.31 CE Rom, then you may wish to follow this method:-

Perfect, brilliant. Will give it a try as soon as I have time!
I'm sorry, I've searched and searched & been at BA_Begginers for the last 5 hours, where can I get latest more stable ROMS from? I've been advised to get the iMate 1.40 WWE ROM, but cant find it or links to it on this site, I've registerd at iMate but they have not sent an email so i cant download from there site any links?
or any ROM links for my XDA lls from UK o2 in 2004.

Hi.
Sorry but I simply don't believe You spent 5 hours at wiki and not clicked this:
ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/PDA2k_WWE_14000_176_11200.exe
to get an update.
In case, your device is not exactly i-mate pda2k (but another Blueangel) you'll need to replace baupgradeut.exe supplied with above archive with the one I give you (to bypass country/device id check)
Good luck
oops.. delete
thank you very much, i tryed a very similar link to imate firmware on the BA begginers page but it dosnt work at all, i spent most of the time trying to get registerd properly at imate only to be told to go away as i dont have a imate branded device. thanks again i'll give it a go.

i have downloaded the file you added to replace the the one in the imate rom, will replace then add it to XDA, where is the dummys guide to installing this particular ROM? i'll look again on the wiki page.
There should be some kind of 'step by step' in BA's wiki.
But in truth, the process is very simple.
Just download file from i-mate. Run it. (It will extract files to directory specified). Replace baupgradeut.exe with the one I gave you and run it (baupgradeut.exe).
On screen step by step displays and tells how to put device in bootloader mode and place in cradle etc.etc. simple
have fun

which languages are supported? is a2dp included?
works good on my MDA Vario
has anyone flashed this ROM or can anyone post the EXTROM? wondering what autoconfig setting has this ROM got...
no change between the 2.17 and 2.21
i upgraded my 8125 cinguler to the new 2..21 dopod i didnt install the extened rom because i running tmobile on mine its faster clean no headeach or reset so far slow on boot up maybe 60 to 65 second on boot up other than that i really didnt find any defference betwen the 2 rom if u happy with 2.17 theres no reson to upgrade
I am uploading this package to the Wizard FTP now.
folder:
/Wizard/Roms/Dopod
Can anyone post the version details (ie. build, os version, radio version)
Seem nothing new.kinda I-must-catch-up ROM...
can we get confirmation that it's English? and also, what is included in the Rom? Push mail? BT stereo, etc.. any custumizations, etc..
So Im guessing its not worth it to upgrade from 2.17 then
Hmm, can anyone else confirm that it's English and confirm that it will work on their Qtek 9100? What else is included in this rom?
yes its english
yes guys its in english

Nope.. it's the same as 2.17 as far as core OS and radio goes. Only difference I see is the customizations.
I don't expect we'll see a different core OS in a ROM until/unless MS releases an AKU 3 or some other packaged-up set of bugfixes.
Most carriers are super reluctant to release ROM upgrades because of the risks of increased support costs for Upgrades Gone Wild(tm). (meaning bad flashes, bricked devices etc)
Just flash it today from 217 to 221. I can feel my 8125 can get better camera quality, and connect to the WIFI faster than b4 after upgrade it. Everything else are the same.
Well radio rom version seems to be different 2.19?
So ive got the imate 2.16.9.1 WWE
i can install this one and just soft reset before the extended rom loads and be ok?
is the .17 better then the .16 ive got btw?
btw im running this rom on an 8125. i DONT think its CID unlocked. any way to check?
i don't know why, but i seem to be having problems connecting to the internet through either wifi or ActiveSync. Pocket IE returns blank pages for any page i access. Is anyone having the same problem with this ROM?
so any other news about this rom? it hasnt recieved much feedback
This one works flawlessly on my Dopod 838/T-Mobile network, so far
Can anyone confirm that upgrading to this Dopod rom from QTEK ROM RUU_Prodigy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe is okay ? The Device is Dopod 838 btw
its ok its been really buggy, but the new voicecamander is better. but its real buggy and maybee not quite as fast
Howdy.
While waiting to get all the bits for AKU 2.5, I made up a quick and dirty little multi-installer. It is a menu-driven installer that allows you to choose from multiple ROMs and various components like radio and extended ROM. The decompressed files are removed when it finishes up.
I currently have it set with the following options:
1) Full AKU 2.3 custom ROM with OS, extended ROM, radio, and bootloader
2) Full AKU 2.3 custom ROM with OS, extended ROM, radio, NO bootloader
3) Radio only - Version 2.25 (the good one)
4) Radio only - Version 2.17 (It's really 2.07, from the 2.17 ROM)
5) An empty extended ROM which will erase whatever is there
If you already have a 2.x bootloader, you can choose option 2 which will not touch your current IPL/SPL. I agree with the general sentiment that the less you touch the BL, the better.
The AKU 2.3 OS ROM is the same as test2, but with these changes:
-fixed softkey applet mappings to calendar, create sms, and create mms
-added .Net Compact Framework 2
-added several themes
-made lame attempt at fixing the "Tiki of Doom" theme, which I really like
-disable "receive all incoming beams" by default to conserve electrons (can be re-enabled in Settings->Connections->Beam)
- Set dot11SupportedRateMaskG to 8 (support all wifi speeds up to 54Mbps)
-enabled Cleartype on landscape
-combined Cingular customizations and registry tweaks into a single cab
-updated the graphics in the flash app, and added some additional warnings and whatnot and so forth
This one weighs in at a hefty 131MB, so if you're on dialup, go make some waffles, err, no, take that trip to Nepal you've always dreamed of while it downloads. If you have broadband, go make them waffles.
Here she be:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_Custom_AKU2.3_Combo_Installer_V1.exe
The multi-installer is a work in progess - I want to evolve it into something a little more flexible so items can be plugged in our ganked out more easily. As a side project, I'm also working on automating the extended ROM build process. The result of this little obsession will allow you to automagically create, configure, and build a flashable extended ROM using a single interface. It might make waffles too...but I'm growing quite fond of tatertots lately.
And yes, I see the error I made with the title placement in the script..but I already started the upload. =)
Good work AGAIN mate.
Keep it up
I guess I need to search for bootloader, to see what that means, and how it affects what I should choose.
Hmm.. very, very cool. However I think I'll wait considering I am running TEST2. It's great to have options. Now if we could pick exactly what we wanted in the rom via checkboxes on a GUI menu, that would be the shizit. Thanks again Summiter! :wink:
.NET CF version?
Summiter,
What is the .NET CF 2.0 version? Is it the recently released .NET CF2 SP1?
Also, can you leave out the ClearType Landscape fix? This is the one fix I can't stand. ClearType does not work well in landscape mode because of the orientation of RGB elements inside LCD.
Nice. Just updated to the Test2 ROM, and was kinda hoping there would be an option to install a plain Cingular ROM without all the extra stuff that I can't delete (like the 2.17 version that I was using before). Any chance of uploading a 'clean' Cingular version of the 2.3?
Can I use this ROM
This is what I see when I turn the phone on:
IPL 2.25.0001
SPL 2.25.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.25.11.1
Does this make a differnece. When I swapped out my old one in the store they gave me this one and the guy at Cinglar told me it was a brand new one. I saw him get it out the store and on the box the manufacture date was this month June 2006... I have anohter 8125 that I purchased in April and I notice that the flash chips are differnt. How can I load Summiter's new ROM onto this new 8125 has anyone had any luck. I used Lockwiz from this site and it did do the SIM unlock but I can't tell if it did the CID unlock. Can this unit be CID unlocked. I don't want to fry my phone.
Followup
Also does this one include a CID unlocker
thanks, keep up the good work.

No. And you can't do CID unlock now since you upgraded to 2.xx ROM without unlock first. You have to downgrade to 1.xx ROM to do CID unlock (if that even possible with your stock ROM).
When you use lokiwiz to unlock your phone, CID unlock is a separate step. That is if you do SIM unlock as well as CID unlock, you have to run the tool twice.
Thanks Summiter! Quick Q: Is the .NET CF installed in ROM, or it is installed from Extended ROM onto regular storage flash? What is the final used space after the customizations are installed?

I have the same problem as you. The damn *.0001 uses a different flash chip and although it can be CID unlocked by using that IMEI website, i dont know if the ROMS are compatible. So i left mine alone, although i really want to upgrade.
Please help
I did not upgrade the ROM it came from the store like that.
IPL 2.25.0001
SPL 2.25.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.25.11.1
As you can see the flash chip in this phone is not the same.
Have you ever seen any of the other phones start up with these IPL and SPL numbers...
Please advise

You have the mysterious G4 chipset in your device. Do some thread searches for 2.xx rom unlocking... or pay to get your CID unlocked through an IMEI check. I was looking at doing a swap with my device, just to get the "better" chipset but now with the apparent problems with upgrading the device to a custom ROM, heh, forget it.
You could always go for the long ball and ask Cingular for the CID unlock sequence if they'll be so gracious to give it to you... but good luck.
Good work summiter on cookin' up a new installer. If you let me know what language you're working with in the console, I could probably work with you on a VB GUI interface with what the users want, and a truly customizable EXTROM type of menu checkbox system. Been a while since I've dinked around in VB, but its easy as pie (prefer C++ personally).
okay
Okay so if I use summiters new rom the one that says i don't need to use the bootloader will this work on my phone. and will i be able to upgrade to the new officeal releases from cinglar when they come out.
this makes littel sense why would they make such a change this may fry alot of phones seeing how most customers don't have a clue.

No SP1 - I'm waiting a bit to see how things flush out with it..it just came out of beta recently. And for all the CF2 apps I see commonly, SP1 doesn't provide any benefits. I will probably have SP1 in the next build, be it AKU 2.3 or AKU 2.5.
You're right about CT in landscape..looks fuggly. I'll back that one out for the next ROM.

CF2 is in the ROM. The registry entries for it however are added via cab file because I'm trying to keep CF2 a bit portable until I get it into AKU2.5. Setting up the registry in the ROM itself takes more time than I had to throw at this, and has to be done in each ROM build. The end result is the same though - the big bits are in ROM.

No you cannot use this ROM unfortunately. The ROM on your device isn't all that bad.
Hi,
I have a Cingular 8125 phone, I upgraded it WM6 with one of the ROM that I downloaded from xda forums. I do NOT know which one that I downloaded. I remember downloading and installing one of the T-Mobile stuff, then flashing a new WM6 ROM from this forum. My phone locks up every time AFTER I receive/make a phone call. I would like to go back to stock WM5. I have no idea how this works, but it appears that I am running the risk of bricking my device if I do it wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Following is the details of what I have.
During BOOT it shows
T-Mobile Logo
IPL 3.08
SPL 3.08
GSM 2.25.11
OS 6.1.0.0
After boot,
About page says Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional
Device Information page says,
ROM Version: 6.1.0.0 WWE
ROM Date: 1/16/08
Radio Version: 2.25.11
Protocol Version 4.1.13.12
Thanks,
JSenthil
no problem, just flash he original rom.
I have it, from mda t-mobile.
I think i have from cingular to, if you need it, let me know.
Isn't that I first have to downgrade my SPL/IPL to 2.xx in order for the original WM5 to work on my G3 wizard?
Can you please explain the steps involved? BTW, where can I find the original ROM, are you referring to the one that can be downloaded from the HTC website?
Thank you for your help,
JSenthil
Unfortunately I installed iPhone skin onto my Cingular 8125. I would like to revert process and get back my WM5, but I tried "hard reset" (Comm Mng + Voice buttons and poke reset with stylus) and nothing. Keeps going back to the iPhone skin. Few things do not work, still has scroll bar on side, connection and battery icons and no lock mode. Contact list feels like iPhone, but is not well developed, still has bugs and menus to la-la land.
Please help, I don't know much about WM5 or cell phones.
Thanks!
