O2 XDA Mini S - What is the best ROM for Push email

Hi All,
I have been reading the posts on this forum for the last 5 days and just need some advice.
Just got the Mini S and woudl like to know what ROM to upgrade to, various posts mention the QTEK or the IMATE and to be honest I am a little confused.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I need to use the lokiwiz program to unlock the SIM and CID before I attempt the upgrade ?
Thanks
Dan

You would also need to remap the keyboard as the O2 version has a different keysheet. The O2 build with push will be available within the next week or so.

I'm in a similar boat to the OP. Been watching the forums for a couple of weeks and am finally in a position to upgrade the ROM - still not sure to go QTEC or iMate....and now Lord Buckingham throws O2 back in the mix!!
@ Lord Buckingham - can you qualify where you have heard the news about the O2 ROM as all I have seen is pure speculation so far on these forums?
If any other Mini S owners can comment on the QTEC/iMate ROM argument that would also be a great help!
thanks.

I've just installed the Qtek 2.17 Rom on my mini, but now i'm having activesync problems. Not sure it's related, although I am tempted to try the Kjam 2.16 rom to see if it's any better. Will let you know when i've installed it...

I've been using the iMate 2.16.9.1 rom since it came out in feb, and it works fine for me. Dtharby, To answer your question you do need to use lokiwiz to unlock the SIM and CID before upgrading

After hacking around on my Laptop, I've resolved the activesync issue I was having, without going back to 2.16. So 2.17 seems stable, fast and bug free so far...

thanks guys. It's reassuring to hear there's some Mini S users in the UK that have has success with the new ROMs.
I think I'll try flashing tonight....maybe going to go for QTEC (just cause it came out later!!)
One last thing - is it actually possible to roll back to the shipping O2 ROM from these new 2.x ROMs?
cheers!

Best Rom for Mini s??

Just bought a O2 mini s. I've seen loads of posts regarding roms.
Any opinions which is the latest & best rom for the mini s??
Any help/advice wud be great! Thanx

Use the latest O2 Rom
O2 have just released the latest ROM pack which you can download from the XDA section of the site. It is working well for me. It is definately better than the original and and the QTEK ROM I was using whilst I waited for the AKU2 updated ROM from O2.
I understand that O2 are delaying shipping the Mini S phones whilst they upgrade it is possible that you have the latest ROM if purchased in the last few days.

This may be a silly question, but could I simply run lokiwiz on my MDA Vario (hasn't even arrived yet) and then use the latest O2 update or is there an IMEI check to prevent me from doing this?
thanks
Rob

O2 mini s ROM
Thanx for the info, i had noticed O2 had made a recent rom updated when i researched the product before buying. Mine is in transit & should arrive 2moro with any luck.
It may well have the new rom, this might be a silly question but how will i know if it has the new rom pre-installed??

When you 1st turn on the device, or whenever you soft reset the device, the rom version will be displayed in the bottom right of the boot screen.
You may also be able to find out by going into settings and clicking the about icon.
Rob

hi marcel
I'm just correcting my previous post the rom version shows at the top left on the wizard when booting after a softreset mine arrived today and is running 1.6.2.4.
you can also check this in the device information applet in settings.
this isn't the latest rom available but it seems to operate very quickly so i'm gonna stick with it until tmobile release an offical update. (or until i get bored and can't help fiddling with it.)
hope thats some help
Rob

yeah im running it. you use the wizard base rom and replace wavedev.dll and battdrvr.dll with ones from the prophet rom to get the sound and battery working. install arcsoft to restore mms. no camera support though. looking into it.
one of the big errors though is that coming out of sleep soft resets it, so doesnt make it very practical!!
edit: apparently the battery needs to get used to wm6 and the soft reseting stops after a few days, mine now has

Are these versions of WM6 final or just beta builds?
I'm looking forward to flash my Charmer (MDAcII) to WM6, but I won't try to mess up my phone with some beta rom.
BTW: Any ideas if WLAN will work under WM6? According to 'some' posts here in the forum, WM5 + WLAN on Charmer = Not working properly. :-/
Bye, Youser

everythings beta, there will never be a official wm6 final as htc will only develop wm6 for new models. as for the wlan stuff, wm5 wasnt the problem it was the drivers written for it by the wifi card maker.
imo wm6 isnt worth it, its not finished, big problem with standby, the camera doesnt work, mms isnt included as standard. it just looks pretty, and that can be done on a wm5 device anyway.

ok, thx for the feedback ;-)

3 Problems in my diamond that i dont understand ??

Hello ..
i have 3 problems that i dont understand in my diamond .. its a phone mobile like no other
1- sometimes the phone get alot of heat under the battrey aread dono the reason !!
2- sometimes when i try to call from another mobile to my phone (( same area )) and it says the mobile is swiched off !! and when i look at the reception it shows two bars !! that must be good to recieve a call i think !!
3- when i put my phone idle and come back to it after a while its stuck .. and the "enter pad" blinks as its charging .. and its not on charge!! that happened to me yet twice ..
anyone knows whats going on ??

it sounds like your running a 1.34 ROM, try to upgrade it to an official 1.93 ROM or if your an advanced user try a cooked ROM.

Just upgrade your radio, it should work ok after that.

being a new user, try the htc website for software updates, it will ask for your serial number. if everthing works it should give you the updated rom with radio. if it doesn't i can point you to an official release that is floating around here. try the htc site first, its the safest bet. let me know!

WM 6.5 Beta Testing Expired - Urgent Assistance Required !!

Hi Guys,
I am in a serious fix ! I downloaded WM 6.5 ROM from this site about 3 months ago & installed it on my HTC TYTN II. It worked like a charm...until this Morning. It now says " This concludes the beta test of this software release." etc....I can't connect to my phone via USB thus I can't reload any Software onto it. I tried to Hard Reset...but the phone just restarts & goes back to this message...Is there any way of getting a ROM installed on this phone ? Any help will be greatly appreciated !

Try this Sir,
Make sure You have full battery capacity,
Press and hold camera button then connect Your Kaiser to PC,
It should bring You to bootloader then just flash it with any ROM,
Finish

rant start
then I attempted to load TCPV6FULL wm 6.5 rom and it installed but will not even boot into the OS...such a pice of crap and this is the second crappy ROM I tried from that guy after 3 wm devices and no REAL improvements from M$...I think I'm going to go get a Palm Pre or Android Phone

Dude, seriously? I've heard nothing but complaints about Android. Only issue with TPCV6 I know of is quickGPS. Other than that it is fast, responsive, and loaded with some pretty good apps and customizations. V5.1 has no issues. Maybe you got a bad download, or forgot to flash a stock rom first, but his work is pretty good.

I'm using Anryl's Build 21501 6.5 with no problems. no time bomb as of yet, and if it does, oh well. I save all contacts to my SIM & don't save messages so it's no big deal. My room mate has a G1 and what does it do? It sits in his desk draw as he uses his new LG Incite WM cell (His Kaiser needs a new screen again).
Note to self, don't put your Kaiser in the same pocket as your wallet with metal buttons on it unless you want a cracked screen lol...

I have the same problem with o2 xda trion... please help me.

worried
i have a AthineOS WWE 6.5 rom. Is 6.5 on beta test generally? Will all 6.5 roms expire after some time? would be helpful if someone could clarify as i also had no idea about this.

You have to use an NTBC ROM to be free of this kind of probs.
NTBC unofficially stands for No Time Bomb Certified.
The new ervius style kitchen checks it auto. on build ROM, but old style kitchen maybe doesn't. I would recommend asking your preferred cooker to upgrade to ervius new style kitchen, in order to produce free NTBC ROMs
Passing manually in bootloader mode then plug in PC you don't need ActiveSync you can flash a new ROM directly. Hoper that helps,
