Up to date information on Roms

Hello, I have just acquired a BlueAngel and have been looking at rom updates, but things seem quite chaotic... Would you possibly be able to tell me the latest in terms of Rom updates? What differences are there from the O2 Rom and the T-Mobile Rom which is posted on the WIKI? Also, what is the best Rom of WM2005? Is it stable enough for every day use?
Thanks & Merry Christmas!
Leo

Latest official ROM: T-Mobile 1.42 (advantages aren't clear, possibly new wireless stack, Blueberry support?)
Another stable ROM is i-mate 1.40.
O2's latest rom has blueberry support.
Best WM5 ROM is the Himalaya port. It is NOT stable for everyday use, it lacks many features, lots of glitches and mishaps, and not ready for a production environment.

Thanks for your response
Thank you for your reply. What would you advise that I should upgrade to? T-Mobile 1.42 or the latest O2 rom.
Thank you
Leo

If you need Blueberry, get T-Mobile 1.42
Otherwise, go with i-mate 1.40

Good ROM/Radio Assessment Article

http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=518&more=1
Author's conclusion is that ROM 1.6.7.1 with radio 01.13.10 is the fastest EDGE and USB connection speeds with stable ROM. I'm using a ROM 1.6.11.1 with 01.13.10 radio with great results.
Enjoy

Your iMate KJAM is a HTC Wizard thus the author's recommendation of ROM 1.6.7.1 & Radio 1.13.10 is valid. I have a MDA Vario and flashed to this combo with no problems. There is no "best" ROM as the hardware is basically all the same.
By reviewing this xda-developers section on Wizard, you'll form an impression on what works and what doesn't and the pluses / minuses of each.
All the best,
Craig

Question... What is this making sure your phone is CID unlocked?
Carrier unlocked?
Mine is an unlocked Imate K-Jam?
Can I just upgrade the Rom?
Thanks

Look in aWizard ROM util link

Forgive me gentlemen as I am very new to this specific device... I ran the Awizard tools and used the CID unlock and backed up that file... I'm assuming that is to restore it incase of sending in for warranty?
I then backed up all (radio, rom, extended)
Okay so now my question is... Can I just run the Qtek rom executable or should I used the Awizard tools to do the Radio and Rom seperately...
Is there any difference? Can I even just upgrade by double clicking the executable? Will it give me a new extended rom then?
Finally, is there any software differences between the Qtek and the Imate?
I just want to use the Qtek rom until the latest I-mate rom comes out.
Thanks for your guys help.. I know you will be able to answer my questions....

Qtek 9100: Which ROM should you really use?

Hi All!
I just have my Qtek 9100, and am really happy with it! I used to work with a very old ROM version, something like 1.1.7.5, and patched it to the 2.8.7.1 version, which really improved software speed etc.
What I was meaning to ask:
I have runned several different ROMs now:
Qtek: 2.8.7.1
I-Mate: 2.16.9.1
MDA Vario: 1.6.2.2
(The version numbers may be off a bit, but I'm actually concerned about the brand)
Is there one, which is like -- the best -- or something like that?
I used them all, and for what I can tell, the Qtek and I-Mate are both fast, and the MDA Vario ROM was really like hell...
So, if you all could post wich ROM you use and why, please!
Thanks in advance,
Rik

the very newest is the best, imate 2.16.something...
that's the one

Except if you want the added BT functionality like A2DP... the iMate rom doesn't have A2DP which I discovered to my annoyance last weekend.

I just got a wizard and it is an MDA 1.6.2.4 WWE rom, which is not included on your list.

where can i download qtek 2.8.7.1 rom ??

I'm using 1.6.2.4 but if you send me the latest one I appriciate so I can upgrade my Qtek9100.
thnaks

This rom is not newer than T-Mobile HR's rom
I think it is not newer than T-Mobile HR'rom.Sometimes, it still can not turn on wifi from com manager.

Have to say been testing this with it at 247 on omap and it is very fast looks like a good rom over all

Any other senior members or mods have a take on this rom yet?

It's definitely a newer version than the latest version released by T-Mobile US but I think that in order to use this here in America, you will need to CID unlock your device.

That's just saved my brick Got stuck on bootloader after a failed wm6 flash. This has sorted it out -thanks for the link as I couldn't find it in the usual place on the t-mobile site.

Has anyone tried this with the T-Mobile USA MDA?
If so, how did the upgrade process go? Were you able to upgrade directly from the latest official Tmo USA MDA ROM? Did you have to unlock the phone first?
What advantages and/or disadvantages have you noticed, from the most recent official TMOUSA MDA ROM? Does your MDA run faster now? Does stereo bluetooth work better? Is your MDA more or less stable with this ROM? Any change in its functionality as a phone? Any change in battery life?
Etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.

Will this work for US original MDA rom?

Like I said earlier,no official wm 6 upgrade is offered,so this rom is also wm5 and not wm 6,if you want to upgrade to wm6,you'll have to upgrade through custom build wm6 roms,present here in this forum.
