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?

Update my XDA IIs
I just got my very first Pocket PC. And I try to do a update on my software. So, where can i find the upgrade software? and how i know which one to pick?

Need to update?

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.

n00b just got a PH20B: benefits of updating the ROM?

Hey all, I just got given a PH20B (blue angel) from a friend. It's the "i-mate PDA2k". He won it in a contest, it was unlocked when he got it. I use T-Mobile so I put my sim card in it and it works okay with T-Mo's GPRS service.
What's the benefit of updating the ROMs? Will it fix my skype problem: when i use skype i'm connected using wifi but it says i'm not, and insists on connecting with GPRS (which is too slow for VOIP). The wifi connection is fine, i can browse pages etc.
What will i get with the newer radio ROM, newer ROMs, etc?
Here's my current devicedata.txt stuff:
Model: PH20B
Language code: WWE
Operator code: CDL__001
ROM version: 1.12.22
Extended ROM version: 1.12.169
Radio version: 1.02.00
I can download this official ROM straight from i-mate, is it better/worse than what i could get from this site?
For the Worldwide English Build:
ROM version: 1.40.00 WWE
ROM date: 03/10/05
Radio version: 1.12.00
Protocol version 1337.42
ExtROM version: 1.40.176 WWE
Thanks.

1.40 is definitely better than the ROM you have. Go for it.
EDIT: the latest release ROM is 1.42 (hint: read wiki) which is better than the released ROM from Imate (plenty of bugs fix, newer application version etc)

If you are using it on T-Mobile I would suggest using the 1.42 ROM from T-Mobile NL, I have been using it for months now and it works great!!!
