Hi, I have a pda2k and am trying to work out which is the best Rom version to upgrade to. I have tried to work this out from the wiki and other posts but am still unsure, and am slightly nervous! I also cannot find many posts from other people who have upgraded pda2ks.
The versions I am currently running are below.
ROM Version: 1.12.22
Extended ROM version: 1.12.169
Radio Version: 1.02.00
Is this latest Imate rom (i-mate_PDA2k_WWE_12200_162_10600_SHIP.exe) the best one to install or would something like the 1.33 Siemens rom be better (would it work on this device)?
Thanks
Pda2k rom upgrade
A new rom upgrade is available at www.clubimate.com.
Thanks Junie, the rom I refer to in my post is the latest English rom on the clubimate website. I was wondering if that was the best one to install.
Well Wiki says that the highest is the imate 1.31 (Arabic) with radio 1.06.02 and cooking your own exteneded rom.
It does not tell you how to use the siemens rom as nobody has posted to the "List of know Blueangel, sold as, Model ID, Operator code ect" thread.
But you can read that siemes thread to work it out.
Wiki does tell you how to fix the probem of lack of a camera with the siemens rom if you went that way.
thanks mda. I think I am going to go with the 1.22 imate rom with my own extended rom.
Don't forget the 1.33.10 upgrade from the SX66 Update made possible for PDA2K by mamaich! I used that plus the Camera reinstate CAB file I made and my PDA2K nicely. I am now getting proper voicemail notification icons on Cingular's network.
Yes, I have been looking at that. One thing I noticed is that there is no ms_.nba. This means that the fix.bat gives me errors. Is this normal?
The mamaich hack version is only the os, this is due to the fact that the ext rom is someting that you should cook your self and that the radio is outdated.
The original rom was made with the new encription, mamaich! reboxed it so that it would work with the tools.
I too have a PDA2K and am running the 1.33.110 WWE Siemens rom with 1.06.02 radio from the qtek rom, and I applied the Wlan patch, the 3900 build upgrade, and the camera patch, and all is well.I get good b/t range now (25ft) and the wifi does not disconnect me.I just put on the O2 plus cab too,and it seems to be alright.I like the Icons,but it does slow the unit down a little sometimes.

Please tell me which Bluetooth headset works best with your PDA2K. We have matching versions on everything, but I can't get more than 3 feet line-of-sight away from my PDA2K with my HS810 or my Meritline Bluetooth headset. Almost makes me think the BT on this phone is useless.
ok, flashed the siemens bios with radio. works great and was much easier than I thought!

Nice setup you have there, BeyondtheTech...!
How do you like your system at the moment? Is this setup working for you and is the iMate stable? If so, would you mind uploading your CABS, so I can play with them as well?
As far as BT, I upgraded to 3900, was not satisfied, BT headset got worse. Then I bought a new headset (Logitech, BT supporting version 1.2), downgraded to 3500, applied the patch, and all seems ok now.
Hope that helps ya!
I am using a Motorola HS820. I was using a jabra,but it sucked! I got my radio from the Qtek 1.22.167 WWE rom.It seemed to be better than the radio in the 1.22.557 rom for some reason. It is very stable now.
At about 15ft the b/t starts to get a little bit of static,but is clear enough to use easily. At 25ft you are at the end of you're USABLE range,tho!
Hope this helps......Later

I would love to try your solution!
Did you install the complete 1.22.167 WWE ROM or did you extract the radio.nbf and replaced it with the one on your OEM ROM?
I had been using the 1.22.167WWE Qtek Rom w/1.06.02 when the Siemens Rom came out,so the radio was the easy part. The rest,I read and got alot of help.....LOL

So, we have to wait for somebody to re-upload it ^^
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.

Best rom for I-mate k-jam
What is the best rom for an imate k-jam? I am running 1.1.9.3 with radio 01.01.10

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....

my 8125 came preloaded with the same ROM and i killed all the Cingular customizations as soon as i took it out of the box
would the Qtek 1.6.7.1 ROM be a big difference for me? i dont use EDGE or GPRS. only wifi and BT. is it worth the upgrade and reinstalling all my apps?

i understand the fact that the settings might be good as cingular sends them, but i dont stand that annoying x thing it sucks, unlocking and reloading the software is my goal.
I just got my T-Mobile MDA from eBay. However it seems pretty slow. After reading the ROM upgrades threads, I want to ask if there is a ROM out there that has T-Mobile stuff integrated? Also, what else can I upgrade from the list below:
ROM Version: 2.26.10.2 WWE
Radio Version: 02.25.11
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.12
ExtROM version: 2.26.10.105

well firstly, u need to get it CID unlocked, u can find the thread as a sticky to get that done...after that, u wanna do some research on which ROM would suite you best...there are several out there...and as for the tmobile stuff, there are indiviudal cabs u can download to install what uw ant from the Tmobile extROM...
@tariq_niazi - For fun why not keep this ROM (as it's the latest T-Mobile) and install Molski's two registry cabs? Will make a world of difference with little work on your part (and it's still stock)
http://www.molski.biz Look for HTC Wizard and then My Cab Files.
(btw, site isn't IE friendly, suggest you use Firefox)

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?
