For 2 weeks I have used Qtek 2.17 WWE from Qtek Netherlands which is slightly different from 2.17 WWE from Qtek Sweden (main difference: with NLD ROM, the battery lasted for 3 days; with sweden, only for 2-2.5 days). The main problem of the Netherlands one was that the phone freezed in 1 of 2 incoming call. Soft reset was the only solution.
I wanted to install 2.17 WWE from Qtek Sweden, but before this ROM, I have installed T-Mobile 2.26 but without Extended ROM (soft reset before instalation of Extended ROM). Now I have a ROM without T-Mobile software on it, but also without Smart Dialing, MIDlet manager, Comm Manager icon isn't on today screen and so on.
Can you tell me where can I find these missing cabs?
And one more question: Which of these ROMs is the best (most stable and less battery consumption)? 1) Qtek 2.17; 2) T-Mobile 2.26 without extended ROM; 3) T-Mobile 3.08 without extended ROM. Which is the best for my phone?
Thank you very much!

Hey all,
I have a Siemens SX66 here and its locked (and no camera). So I am thinking of just getting an unbranded I-Mate and then customizing it to Cingular. Will I have any problems with downloading the CABS/Autorun from the Siemens Ext Rom RAR file on the FTP and running it on the device? IE as I understand it it should brand the device to Cingular w/o any problems? Anyone using the PDA2K Unbranded BlueAngel on Cingular Network?
Thanks
That would work just fine.
Here is what I would do:
1) Take the unlocked PDA2k and put the imate 1.40 version rom on it.
2) Get into the extended rom, delete the files Default_ImateV112.002.cab and Default_Button9_PIE.CAB
3) Take the cabs from the Cingular Rom that are CUSTOMIZATION (Cingulcustomize_041228.CAB, Cingular_ECall.CAB, Cin_inbox_ap.CAB, MediaNet.CAB, Button.CAB, getmail.CAB) and rename them adding "Default_" in from, then place htem in your extended rom
4) Hard Reset to have 1.40 with Cingular customization.
Hello all.
I just found this place and it's great!
I am in the USA and I have a Siemens SX66 with Cingular, running the default ROMS.
I've read there has been issues with with WM5 and others seem to not have any trouble.
What ROMs should I upgrade to?
From links here I also found: http://sx66-blueangel.home.comcast.net/
Are system ROM 1.40.00 and Radio ROM 1.13.00 my best options?
Thanks again, this is really a great site!
I personally would suggest applying the standard and extended ROM's from Chris' SX66 (Blue Angel) Standardization Project which you referenced, then upgrading the radio to 1.15. WM5 is cewl looking and the persistent storage can be a life saver. I go back and forth, probably more than 30 times, hoping that one day the speed and reliability will come through. Being a corporate geek / consultant that hates crackberries I dream of true push mail. However I'm so dependant on Microsoft Voice and my BT that I keep going back to WM 2003, Chris' ROM's being the best.
Best of luck to you in whichever way you go.
btw, Cingular is releasing the 8125 this month! YIPPEE !!!
(guess the wife will get my BA has a hand me down... )
Steven
SX66 (PH20B1) [Cingular]
ROM: 1.40.00 WWE
ROM date: 03/10/05
Ext ROM: 1.40.125 WME
Radio: 1.15.00
I recently upgraded to 1.42 with my own Extended Rom. Since then (probably two weeks ago), I haven't had to reset my phone for one-way sound, wifi not wanting to turn on, bluetooth insufficient driver memory or any of the other minor problems that forced me to reset my phone at least every other day with the 1.40 rom.
If you are going to try the upgrade, copy this extended rom to your device, then use the BA_TMNL_14200_115_11300_ship upgrade (delete all nbf files except nk.nbf). I was able to use the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe file to load this rom. I think I had to run it twice (first time it puts the device in bootloader mode but gives error, leave it in the bootloader mode and run it again.)
BTW, I had already upgraded to radio 1.15, so you might want to do that first.
Hmmm. FTP not working for me from work, I'll upload the ExtRom tonight and update this post.

which languages are supported? is a2dp included?
works good on my MDA Vario
has anyone flashed this ROM or can anyone post the EXTROM? wondering what autoconfig setting has this ROM got...
no change between the 2.17 and 2.21
i upgraded my 8125 cinguler to the new 2..21 dopod i didnt install the extened rom because i running tmobile on mine its faster clean no headeach or reset so far slow on boot up maybe 60 to 65 second on boot up other than that i really didnt find any defference betwen the 2 rom if u happy with 2.17 theres no reson to upgrade
I am uploading this package to the Wizard FTP now.
folder:
/Wizard/Roms/Dopod
Can anyone post the version details (ie. build, os version, radio version)
Seem nothing new.kinda I-must-catch-up ROM...
can we get confirmation that it's English? and also, what is included in the Rom? Push mail? BT stereo, etc.. any custumizations, etc..
So Im guessing its not worth it to upgrade from 2.17 then
Hmm, can anyone else confirm that it's English and confirm that it will work on their Qtek 9100? What else is included in this rom?
yes its english
yes guys its in english

Nope.. it's the same as 2.17 as far as core OS and radio goes. Only difference I see is the customizations.
I don't expect we'll see a different core OS in a ROM until/unless MS releases an AKU 3 or some other packaged-up set of bugfixes.
Most carriers are super reluctant to release ROM upgrades because of the risks of increased support costs for Upgrades Gone Wild(tm). (meaning bad flashes, bricked devices etc)
Just flash it today from 217 to 221. I can feel my 8125 can get better camera quality, and connect to the WIFI faster than b4 after upgrade it. Everything else are the same.
Well radio rom version seems to be different 2.19?
So ive got the imate 2.16.9.1 WWE
i can install this one and just soft reset before the extended rom loads and be ok?
is the .17 better then the .16 ive got btw?
btw im running this rom on an 8125. i DONT think its CID unlocked. any way to check?
i don't know why, but i seem to be having problems connecting to the internet through either wifi or ActiveSync. Pocket IE returns blank pages for any page i access. Is anyone having the same problem with this ROM?
so any other news about this rom? it hasnt recieved much feedback
This one works flawlessly on my Dopod 838/T-Mobile network, so far
Can anyone confirm that upgrading to this Dopod rom from QTEK ROM RUU_Prodigy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe is okay ? The Device is Dopod 838 btw
its ok its been really buggy, but the new voicecamander is better. but its real buggy and maybee not quite as fast
Hi,
I upgraded a Cingular SX66 unit using maupgradeut_noid and the latest AKU 3.5.2 WM5 ROM. Afterward, I had no radio ROM so I updated to the 1.15.00 release. However, my phone is still unable to make/receive calls or data (with multiple good SIMs.) It appears the radio ROM is having issues with this WM5 package because sometimes on hard restarts the boot screen lists R: and G: as NONE, but after a soft reboot they usually show the correct versions.
I searched and can't find any postings about this type of behavior. Nothing useful to report from the phone other than it says "phone is not ready" and "no service" with a good SIM.
I have several of these PDAs that I want to distribute to my internal staff with WM5 so they don't have to learn WM2003 (all of our other devices are WM5 or WM6.) Any recommendations on a procedure to test the radio ROM or a different combination of OS and radio ROMs?
Thanks for the help.
PS. running getdevicedata.exe yields the following:
PH20B1 WWE A %CID? 5.35.05. 1.15.00 % 4
downgrade to wm2003 and try to flash again radio 1.15 and post the results

Take it easy
all BA HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS YOU DESRIBLE
IF YOU USE WM2003 THE PROBLEM WILL DISAPPEAR~ SO，JUST SOFT RESET
YOUR PHONE EVERY TIME YOU CHANGE YOUR BETTERY！！
just one softreset, and when you need to charge, charge it when it reaches the 40%, etc, just don't take out the battery, or you will have to softreset it again for the radio work.
it is just the same with mine sx66, and i don't care at all.
Thanks for the notes...I kind of learned the soft reset 'fix' on my own, a little disappointing but I guess we're stuck with it. Why would I want to downgrade my phone to 2003? The whole point was to move to WM5 so my users and support team all work with the same interface.
Of course...my next project is to find out why SMSplus works on 8525 phones and not 8125 (standard Cingular OS load.) Might have to upgrade the 8125s to WM6 (sigh)
Hi,
I have a Cingular 8125 phone, I upgraded it WM6 with one of the ROM that I downloaded from xda forums. I do NOT know which one that I downloaded. I remember downloading and installing one of the T-Mobile stuff, then flashing a new WM6 ROM from this forum. My phone locks up every time AFTER I receive/make a phone call. I would like to go back to stock WM5. I have no idea how this works, but it appears that I am running the risk of bricking my device if I do it wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Following is the details of what I have.
During BOOT it shows
T-Mobile Logo
IPL 3.08
SPL 3.08
GSM 2.25.11
OS 6.1.0.0
After boot,
About page says Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional
Device Information page says,
ROM Version: 6.1.0.0 WWE
ROM Date: 1/16/08
Radio Version: 2.25.11
Protocol Version 4.1.13.12
Thanks,
JSenthil
no problem, just flash he original rom.
I have it, from mda t-mobile.
I think i have from cingular to, if you need it, let me know.
Isn't that I first have to downgrade my SPL/IPL to 2.xx in order for the original WM5 to work on my G3 wizard?
Can you please explain the steps involved? BTW, where can I find the original ROM, are you referring to the one that can be downloaded from the HTC website?
Thank you for your help,
JSenthil
Unfortunately I installed iPhone skin onto my Cingular 8125. I would like to revert process and get back my WM5, but I tried "hard reset" (Comm Mng + Voice buttons and poke reset with stylus) and nothing. Keeps going back to the iPhone skin. Few things do not work, still has scroll bar on side, connection and battery icons and no lock mode. Contact list feels like iPhone, but is not well developed, still has bugs and menus to la-la land.
Please help, I don't know much about WM5 or cell phones.
Thanks!
