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!
Hi All,
Ok, ive been doing a ton of reading on this forum trying to learn about the device and what i could do with and without.
One key thing people say is get rid of all the o2 customization stuff. I understand this is done best by upgrading the phones ROM. I read lots of talk about the Qtek ROM being a popular choice.
I have been playing about with cabs and roms since reading this forum. Currently i have the "RUU_Prodigy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe" ROM installed on my phone.
My question is, what ROM file shall i upgrade to? Or is the one i am on now ok?
I have also been looking for the task bar program ive seen talked about. Can anyone tell me this programs name?
Thanks for any replies!!! =]

better rom for o2 mini s
I would like to know this too. I've searched the forums for the last couple of days and it's a minefield. :?
I've just got my XDA Mini S from O2 and would like to upgrade my ROM.:shock:
Also what good software is there for this model running WM5. Already have Totalcommander and have tweaked the Camera and opened up Engineer mode but not a lot else.
Can anyone suugest the best ROM to upgrade the mini s to - it looks like we'll be here forever waiting for 02 to release. If someone could post what ROM they have upgarded their UK mini s to that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

O2 Mini S
I am using the following ROM on a number of phones primarily to enable Direct Push email:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/ login xda password xda
Under Qtek Roms:
186504-ruu_9100_2170702_21707102_20710_qtek_wwe_ship.exe
Look for one with this in it 2170702_21707102_20710
Only niggle would be the keyboard issue in that it is mapped differently. You can make a change in the registry to correct this:
I also used the following tools:
Under Misc:
Lockiwiz02b to unlock the phone and CID
aWizard-v1_3beta2 does a similar thing but also enables RAPI needed to talk to the Wizard during a ROM upgrade.
MobileRegistryEditor by Breaksoft
Also it may be worth getting the UK_GPRS_settings.zip file to enable the GPRS settings.
I've just put this ROM on my O2 Mini S
RUU_Prodigy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
And all seems to be OK.
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

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
Re: ROM UPDATE
Hi all my questions may sound dumb but I am a newbie and want to learn!
I have read the wiki but couldn’t find what I was after.
I am thinking about updating my ROM software from 1.40.00 WWE to the latest one offered on the 02 website which is a v1.40.242.
I am running windows mobile 2003 2nd edition version 4.21.1088. Does anybody if I update my ROM will I have to re-install the Windows mobile 2003? As I bought this phone 2nd hand off ebay I don’t have any recovery cds for the windows mobile software. What does the Software update and does it install a operating system when it updates or does it keep the one I am running?
As it is if I update my xda 2s with the latest rom from the o2 website would it mean that after the update my xda would run on the same windows mobile 2003 software or would one be installed with the ROM update?
Also has anyone updated with the latest o2 rom update and has it made their xda 2s more stable? I am not sure whether I should update as I don’t want any more trouble than I already have with my xda! Any help will be appreciated by a newbie in distress!
Thanks
Rio
hi there,
usually the latest rom provided by your vendor, mean there could be big fixes, performance enhancement over the current one, read changelog to be sure of though.
if you decide to go ahead and update it
1. NO YOU DONT NEED RECOVERY CD
2. you will need to reload your own installed application after update.
3. rom update = total current os wipe out and reload a new one, all done by update process itself. so dont worry about that
most ppl in this forum has already given up on the current and stable official rom (windows mobile 2003 SE).
few the guys here like Logout, Tuma and othere are working on a stable release of windows mobile 2005. and we are greatful for their hard work
imatrix
No one has recovery CDs for these phones. While a minor upgrade from your operator is common, having a major upgrade to e.g. WM5 is very rare.
Updating the phone is like a ROM flash on your computers BIOS. So long as you are connected to mains and don't pull the plug, errors are very rare. Especially with the official ROMs.
Finally, all ROM updates improve stability. They wouldn't spend time and money on them just without a big benefit. Testing and releasing a ROM is quite a big deal for the telcos.
EDIT: oops, posted the same time as imatrix. Twice the answers for the same price!
Thanks guys for your help, hoepfully i will be updating my ROM from the o2 website will try the official update since i am new to all this!!! depending how i get on with the uopdate then I may try others!
Once again thanks and im glad there is help outhere as i dont know what id do without this forum!!!
Thanks

Hey RIO
i did the exact same upgrade with my O2 UK version with 1.40 about a week ago.. once i got that done... i went ahead and upgraded to 2005... which is so much better then the 2003.... so i would suggest upgrading to the IVAN LATEST 2005 ROM WITH RAMDISK... if you don't care much about how the software looks and works.. then just upgrade it with the latest SHIPPED (o2) Rom.. it improoves lot of bugs.. but one problem i had with latest o2 rom is that the Hearing vollume of the phone goes down a little.. not too much...
Hey all
My charmer has arrived, and im picking it up tomorrow.
I recently had the joy of playing with two different XDA II handsets, one with an AKU 2.0 rom update and the other with an AKU 3.5 update on it. the AKU 3.5 both looked and performed a LOT better.
What i want to do is the following:
Cook and release a streamlined minimalist AKU 3.x (any AKU 3 version rom, be it 3.1,3.3,3.5)
however, my knowledge in this department is a little lacking.
is there ANYBODY in here who runs a charmer and has a little knowledge in cooking roms?
I'm thinking it would be as simple as the following:
1) extract AKU2.0 ROM from Charmer
2) Remove 'OS' part from the rom
3) extract AKU3.5 ROM from prophet (as this is the closest device)
4) insert the OS from the prophet into the charmer rom
5) Patch with drivers for charmer
6) recompile and away you go!
is there ANYBODY here who is willing to help?!
thank you
helmi_c is seems to be working on it. I have downloaded his AKU3 rom with nottice that it is not yet designed for regular user - and it really isn't Spent two days ressurecting my poor charmer...

ive been looking at it too. only 2 things ive noticed is a problem with the sound and internet sharing apart from that its seems fine.
well, i'll be happy if you can provide me a copy for testing - i will send you feedback, of course
Hey
well, once my charmer comes back from repair, needless to say, i will be beta testing a good, clean, stable aku 3.3 wm5 release!
dave, could you provide some sort of quick guide on how to modify the extended rom please?!
thanx
Oh boy, if this gets uploaded would i be able to upgrade to it?
I have tried a few times with dave's other rom but had no luck as i cant unlock my phone due to, i believe, upgraing using the tmobile original file. before cid unlocking it. As i understand it i now have v2 bootloeaders which cant be cid unlocked.
Hi
Hows development of this going now? not heard anything, have PM'd Helmi
would really like to release an AKU3.x rom for the charmer, would be perfect!
an have you any response from helmi? waiting for aku 3.x so long
Well, who needs Aku3 anyway if there's a rom with wm6? ;-)
I wrote a mail to T-Mobile (Germany) and asked them about any planned updates for the Charmer. As soon as I get a response, I'm gonna post it of course.
youser, i wouldnt hold out any hope for a wm6 rom for anything currently out apart from the VERY high end like the universal/hermes
i havent had a response from helmi yet, going to wait out a little while longer.
dave106 appears to have had a 'semi-working' rom on his device albeit minor things not working like camera, but im *hoping* that shouldn't be too difficult to fix.
if dave or helmi could please please please please please (pretty) please post an update on the status of an AKU 3.x update it would be extremely helpful!!
well i'll be jumping ship soon, replacing the casing and ebaying up my charmer as im moving onto the trinity.
is there NO hope for any charmer users at the moment?! will you not help us develope a little?!
if you could provide me with a *test* rom, that has bugs in it, i could probably work on ironing out the bugs (worth mentioning that i only use my charmer solely as a PDA, not as a phone)
please dave! we need help from the masters of xda-devs!
Well, helmi's aku 3.3 rom is available on pdamobiz.com. Speed is excellent, but unfortunately this ROM contains a lot of stuff included :-(
If you can live without some regional settings, which are missing (eg. czech), this ROM might be useful for you.
