ROM version: 1.06.00 ENG
ROM date: 08/05/04
Radio version: 1.00.00
Protocol version: 1337.30
ExtROM version 1.06.117 WWE
Bluetooth: BT-PPC/PE Version 1.0.0 Build 1900
Looks like it may be one of the (old) oddball test units we were seeing a while back. Does it have any branding on the front? Or does it just say "Pocket PC"? Also, is that the original ship ROM info?
You can tell for sure by running getdeviceinfo.exe. If it shows "11111111" where it would usually show the operator code (T-MOB005, etc.) should be, you can bet it's one of the test units for sure. If it is, be carefull upgrading. They are easy to mess up and hard to fix. Good luck. )

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

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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
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!!!
Hi all,
I'm a newbie in all those technical questions. Yet, I've read a lot of valuable things at this forum and decided to upgrade my Qtek 9090 using IvanV4R3_RAMDisk32_1.11.zip.
Before I had the following parameters:
ROM version: 1.22.00 WWE
ROM date: 10/22/04
Radio version: 1.06.00
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtROM version: 1.22.123 WWE
Now it has changed into the following:
ROM version: 5.03.02 WWE
ROM date: 03/02/05
Radio version: 1.06.00
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtROM version: 0.0
Well, the device is operating but something tells me there's something wrong here...
Please advice what I did wrong - shall I update the ExtROM separately or what?
P.S. Oops, I've read somewhere here that in WM5 there's no ExtROM - maybe that's why the version is 0.0. Yet, I leave the question just to make sure this is right.
P.P.S. Sorry if this topic has been discussed somewhere, the intformation is so vast, I couldn't find that...
Ext-Rom is usually network or distributor-based customisation, such as O2's O2 Connect and O2 Active, HP's PhotoSmart, etc. Now, since this is an informal effort, there is no ExtRom
Thanx
OK, thanks for informing me!
I wonder if I ever need that ExtROM stuff then... Do you think it's useful and for what purposes?
Depends. Sometimes those "little extra tidbits" can help and be useful. Such as O2SMS Plus is sometimes useful, or O2 Active

Hi,
I have an MDA I'm using at the Telefonica Spain GSM network (after some unlocking and reconfiguration).
ROM version: 2.21.2.6 WWE
ROM date: 3/9/06
Radio version: 02.19.11
Protocol version: 4.1.13.09
ExtROM version: 2.21.2.109
I wonder if it makes sense to upgrade my ROM, and also which should be the best new ROM.
Do new ROMs improve speed, performance or/and battery life?
What about this 3G or 4G PDA version issue I read somewhere? how can I know if mine is 3G or 4G?
Will I lose my data and configurations?
Thanks
Pere
G4 will look like this:
IPL: 2.xx.0001
SPL: 2.xx.0001
It is supposed newer rom will be better than older rom on overall.
How to know these parameters (IPL and SPL)?
reboot your phone and check the top left of the screen
To whom it may concern.
I uploaded the dumped ROM for my Trinity, which is an Orange SPV M700.
It's in English (WWE) and also it's Application Locked and Operator Locked.
The dumping was done after a hard reset, but I don't think that matters much.
Operator Version: 19.123.10.704
ROM version: 1.23.70.4
ROM date: 03/20/07
Radio version: 1.38.00.01
Protocol version: 32.71.7020.12H
Have a nice one,
Utopic.
