Complete Newbie with questons about ROM 1.40 for Sprint 6600

Hey all,
I have read hundreds of posts but modt of them are for the PDA2K and XDAIII. I know these are the same models but I am oblivious to whether or not I need a ROM specific to my Sprint phone. I also could use a quick brush up on what exactly I need to instal this. Pardon my ignorance I am just scared to fry my new phone. Thank you in advance for going easy on me

The Sprint 6600 is a different phone than the I-Mate PDA2k/XDA IIs. The PDA2k and XDAIIs are Blue Angels (GSM Radio) and yours is a Harrier (CDMA radio) which is the same as a PDA2k EVDO.
For more info on the differences, check out wiki:

Unfortunately, I know little about the CDMA version of the phone, but I would assume you can use another carrier's upgrade the same way you can on a GSM version. If so, the latest Rom version would be i-mate's 2.03.

That is very helpful thank you very much

What makes a AKU2 ROM different? And a couple other ?s

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.
Tom

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

Yes that is correct

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.

How to upgrade C800 IPL/SPL 1.09 Radio 2.69 to wm6??

Hi anyone knows how to upgrade Dopod C800 Singapore set with IPL/SPL 1.09 and radio 2.69 to the cooked ROMs successfully yet? How can i upgrade to the latest SPL/IPL and radio?? Dopod dont have any wm6 rom with latest radio available. I had read the forum but realised most of the roms advised not to upgrade with ipl/spl less than 4.000 as it will brick the device and unrecoverable. I realise the C800 SG set has no official wm6 RUU rom yet, is it true as i cant find any?? Only the HTC ver is available in wiki which cant flash on the c800 as it prompt device vendor error.

PLEASE DONT CROSS POST EVERY FORUM
RULES: Please read this before posting

ops sorry tot i might get more help

Radio/ GSM update thread

Hi all,
I'd like to start a thread concerning Radio GSM updating. (For Wizard G3)
Which Rom's are available and what are the experiences.
How to update and which tool to use to update.
The aim is to gether the information instead of fragmented in many threads.
(I spend many ours on this forum and found lots of info, but not so much about the Radio GSM ROM, furthermore when you use the search function you might end up in the wrong thread)
I hope all the cookers and engineers will post and many users will react with there experiences.

What's your radio. You should up radio Rom which attached in OS if your radio <2.2. It's safer.

Radio attached in OS
Ok,
that sounds interesting. I bought a used Wizard with a German WM5.
Off course I'd like a ducth OS WM6. So found a great one cooked by DRAVEN187!
I CID-unlocked (It wasn't SIM locked) it and flashed the ROM which was great. Then I was experiencing trouble with the Bluetooth of my new car (Citroen C4 GP) and decided to upgrade the IPL/ SPL and Radio.
I succeeded in upgrading the IPL and SPL but not in the Radio. So the IPL/SPL are 3.08 and the radio is 1.08.
My qeustion is: how can I determin if a OS has also a radio inside?
If i got it wright you mean first to upgrade with an OS with the Radio included < 2.2. Where Can I find this?
If this is done is it advisable to flash the dutch WM6 (again) and upgrade the Rom to a even higher version?
Does this higher radio version solve the communication problem with the car-bluetooth? (actually I don't think so...)
It seems more people experiencing trouble with WM 6 and car-bluetooth. Is there a cooker who can repair this?
Thanks for helping

There should be no ROM makers that will bundle Radio ROM to it.
And...there are standalone installers for Radio ROM only such as 2.71 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1808328).
Bluetooth problem is a OS problem, upgrading Radio ROM should not help (I have a i.Tech Clip S that doesn't work with any devices that uses WM6 ROM and Microsoft BT stack, no solution)

[Q] How do I change from Italian ROM to WWE ROM?

Hi.
I recently acquired a TouchPro2 (T7373), and it came with Windows Mobile 6.5 Pro in Italian. I want to install the WWE ROM and I wanted advice to be sure I don't wend up with a dead device!
I've read about HardSPL and a version for GSM and another for CDMA-GSM worldphone (Rhod400, Rhod500) and I really don't understand which mine belongs to.
It's not locked to any carrier and it says on the box HSPA/WCDMA as well as Quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE.
Any directions please?
Thanks.
