:d, :d, :d, :d,
let's hope so
How could there be, when it hasn't been released yet?!?!?!?!?
It's highly unlikely, but possible I guess.
Crossbow is based very highly on WM5 setups. One of the Brains might be able to re-engineer a working crossbow rom back into the stolen BA Wm5 roms, but it's extremely unlikely that a BA Crossbow rom will ever get leaked as is.

Greetings all. I am new here, but hopefully I will be able to contribute in some small way to the community. After reading about the wiki, ROM kitchen, and cooking, I have a few small questions that will help me jump into the waters and help out.
I have a new PDA2K on Cingular here in the U.S. that came with ROM 1.22.00 WWE Radio 1.06.00 and EXT ROM 1.22.162 WWE.
I would like to update to the most recent ROMs for the Radio, primary, and extended ROM and still retain the new version of KSE Truefax 2.09 and possibly other software that came as part of the package from I-mate.
When cooking a ROM: Is it possible to retain any of the software from your own ROM and aggregating it with the best radio ROM, make a unit that is truly updated in every way possible? If I took elements from the "i-mate_PDA2k_Arabic_13100_112_10600_SHIP" release that is on the FTP site and added the 1.08 or 1.10 radio ROM, would I have certain components that are in Arabic or is that concept misleading?
My point is: I think will I lose the software that came with the unit when I cook a ROM to update the unit and I would like to keep it as I paid for it in my purchase price and I would like to use components from other language ROMs but am concerned I will have components in my phone after the update that are in a language I cannot read.
Please guide me if you have a moment.

I had hoped that I had covered all of this is wiki, but it seems not.
your deivce has 3 parts
1) the os version and its language
2) the extneded rom
3) the radio
each of these can be updated one at a time or all together.
1) The os part is based on the windows version and its build, if you can find a versiont that works with our tools you can update that. In this case the 1.31 arabic in WWE is a good choice.
2) the Extneded rom is based around the applicatons that the porvider gives you as well as the provider customization. Here you can pick and what you want and the term that we use on this site is cooking.
You will need to flush your exteneded rom and cook a new one with what you feel you want (like applications) and you feel you need (as in porider customisation)
3) The radio is based on the type of device you have and in your case can be updated to 1.08.00 as we have yet to find a copy of the 1.10.00
So your issue of the fax software is solved in the cooking of the exteneded rom. allas the files have gone as some nice person has trashed 2 months of work and deleted them. however the 1.22 kitchen is again around so you can get what you need from there or from your device. copy them into your exteneded rom, edit the config.txt and perform a hard reset.
So to keep the stuff you have you need to save the cabs out of your extended rom, update the device (os and radio), flush the exteneded rom and cook your own rom (all covered in the kitchen).
You will do fine and if you have a problem just post it.
Answer
This is exactly the sort of definitive and succinct answer I needed. Your simple clarification has helped me and will no doubt help others. Thank you, again.

WHOAH! :shock:
Am I reading this correctly? So I can pretty much update to whatever ROM version and radio version I want, regardless of language? Anything I need to look out for in particular? I've got the upgrade bug now! Got my BT upgraded to 3900.
ROM 1.22.00 WWE
Radio 1.06.00
extROM 1.22.162 WWE.
How far can I go in an English version? Or does it matter so long as my windows version is English?
Thanks again!

Hello, I have just acquired a BlueAngel and have been looking at rom updates, but things seem quite chaotic... Would you possibly be able to tell me the latest in terms of Rom updates? What differences are there from the O2 Rom and the T-Mobile Rom which is posted on the WIKI? Also, what is the best Rom of WM2005? Is it stable enough for every day use?
Thanks & Merry Christmas!
Leo
Latest official ROM: T-Mobile 1.42 (advantages aren't clear, possibly new wireless stack, Blueberry support?)
Another stable ROM is i-mate 1.40.
O2's latest rom has blueberry support.
Best WM5 ROM is the Himalaya port. It is NOT stable for everyday use, it lacks many features, lots of glitches and mishaps, and not ready for a production environment.
Thanks for your response
Thank you for your reply. What would you advise that I should upgrade to? T-Mobile 1.42 or the latest O2 rom.
Thank you
Leo
If you need Blueberry, get T-Mobile 1.42
Otherwise, go with i-mate 1.40
Hi. I thought I might try getting some friendly advice from the forum here.
I have a UK MDA Vario running the latest (I think) UK T-Mob ROM 2.21.2.6 WWE. I am beginning to really hate this ROM and am thinking about going back to the Qtek 2.17 WWE I had before. The main problem I'm having is a lot of freezing and instability mainly to do with Opera Mobile and the alarm clock.
But before I do that I figured since I'm gonna be wiping my phone, I'd try the Orange ROM out of curiosity. The only problem is that the only one I might try is on the xda-dev ftp and seems to be a customised ROM with noCID. Is this worth it? Am I just being silly wanting to try this? Hell, am I being silly wanting to go back to the Qtek when I've the Mr Clean and Molski ROMs to try?
Any advice would really be appreciated since from the posts of the last couple of months, things have been getting more and more technical.
P.S. My phone is CID from before when I went from T-Mob's 1.06 to Qtek's 2.17 and has the G3 chip since its SPL/IPL is 2.xx
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.

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.
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
