So I upgraded to the ATT rom and radio stack to do a comparison from the T-mobile rom and 6.24.01 radio stack.
Impressions are that the ATT rom/radio are as good if not better than my older rom/radio although with the ATT rom i now seem to be always roaming on the cingular network rather than the t-mobile network ???
verified this by reverting to the t-mobile rom (left the att radio stack) and low-and-behold the phone reports that i have a t-mobile signal once again.
is this a problem or nothing to worry about ...
thanks
There is no problem at all. i called t-mobile to ask about this roaming signal thing, and they told me that it is perfecty allright and they will not bill anything extra.
here is something else i found out - T-mobile and Cingular have a agreement, in places where t-Mo does not have their own setup - Cingular is used - so infact even when it says T-Mobile you are actually on the Congular network, it is just the T-MO customized ROM which says that you are on T-MO.
so relax and enjoy a better ROM
lethaleagles is correct. Just before T-Mobile came into the SF Bay Area/and perhaps most of CA, it was announced that T-Mo has signed an agreement with Cingular to lease their lines; however, if I also recall, the data technology is all T-Mo's.
The software of the T-Mo Radio Stack replaces the reporting of the IMEI's current network being Cingular to T-Mobile.
how?
Hi, can I know how you guy upgrade from 4.01 to 30.09? I'm currently stuck at 4.01 with Bootloader 5.17 I only have 128mb MMC Card and Xda Cradle.
So the method I used was the tried and trusted SD flashing method.
I extracted the nbf file from the ATT .exe and burnt it to a 128mb SD card reset the device and accepted the prompt to flash from SD.
Once the ROM was loaded and looked ok I reset the partnership and re-sync'd contacts and calendar, loaded my custom ring tones and theme.
I then copied the radio upgrade files over to the PPC and ran rsupgrade.
Went without hitch and I am very pleased with the end result.
Oh obviously I backed up my data before embarking on this path.
Update the RS
I keep getting the message saying it cannot find the RSugrade file. Can anyone tell me what files and where should I put in the PPC?
Thanks!
Have you guys tried to get a GPRS connection after the upgrade?
If so did it work and is it still working? (somethings tells me its a T-Mobile issue but I thought I ask).
Also can somebody post their Device Information with this new ROM/ radio stack, I'm most interested in what your Protocol version has been changed to!

You need the below files and you put them in your devices windows root folder:

qman,
yes i got gprs to work after the upgrade - i had to manually create the connections, making sure they were NOT setup to use the ATT proxy. they worked pefectly yesterday, but i just tried them today and no joy :twisted: i am putting this down to flakey t-mobile gprs service and will try again later today.
Device Information output:
ROM version: A.30.09 ENG
ROM date: 01/01/04
Radio Version: A.33.02
Protocol Version: 1.3.3
Hi Q - catch up w/me on MSN Messenger...I have protocol 324e4 as well. GPRS seems to be slow on the ATT Network (I also have an ATT SIM). With 4.01.00 and my T-Mo SIM connection was faster - although both attempts are with only the 6.24.01 RS.
Right-on Rey and thanks! :wink:
I upgraded my t-mobile xda last night, I didn't however upgrade the radio stack. This is working very well for me. I'm using the 6.24.01 RUU and the latest AT&T Rom. Those of you who are waiting this is the way to do it as you can then always go back to a t-mobile rom.

Glad to hear you got it working!
GPRS has been giving me the fists here in LV (is it ROM, is it the radio stack..upgrade..downgrade..what hell is going on)! :evil:
I finally called T-Mobile this morning to see what was going on and they told me that they were having system wide problems, O really!
Anyhow I'm up and running with A.30.09 ENG as you can see by my Sig.

HI
I've had my o2 xda2 since it came out in the UK Nov 2003 and I haven't reflashed the ROM or done any thing like that. I even got O2 to network unlatch it for me. (This was before the unlock tool) I was surprised to see the following device info when i did a soft reset.
ROM version 1.03.00 USA
ROM date 09/24/03
Radio Version 1.05.12
Protocol version 1337.12
the bit that surprised me was USA in the ROM version.
I've been in Toronto since May 04 on Fido has my ROM been upgraded without my knowledge over the air/or when I use my wifi card or is this a really old rom as i got one of the first xda2's that came out in the UK.
Should I upgrade the rom with o2 latest update?? or use a different ROM
The XDA locks up rarely, the only problem is when you go out of signal range (ie on the underground subway) the xda2 sometime can't lock back onto the network and so a soft reset is needed.
I look forward to your pearls of wisdom.
Hi,
I got my MDA Pro last week, there was some weird problems with it where it would drop the signal rate everytime someone called.
When I called T-Mobile I was told I should update it, which I did...then MMS functionallity disapeared etc..
So my question now is, which ROM is the best to use with it...and where can I find it?
Cheers.
Hi Jeuk,
I followed the t-mobile site and downloaded the update (it ends up coming from some t-mobile subdomain on 3rd part site, can't remember the URL, sorry, but hunt around)
I've found it great, fast and stable (as long as you reset when it says it's installing the customisations - you can pick and choose the cabs you install, i'd recommend the mms/gprs settings more than anything else - search on here for the t-mobile cabs, or get the extended storage unlocker and install from there using total commander (also search here for these things - this site is a great resource). You don't see many complaints from t-mobile users here, I suspect they've actually pulled out all the stops and been one of the most reliable resellers of this phones.
but my GPRS is great, coverage is fantastic, bluetooth profiles all in there (including a2dp [sp?]) for bluetooth stereo with a moto hs820), fast running, few resets. All I have of the t-mobile branding is the awful colours on the case of the device. that horrible pink-tinged plastic down the button strip. really. I mean, really.
maybe I should add:
ROM: 1.20.32 WWE
ROM date: 11/16/05
Radio: 1.06.00
Proto: 42.40.P8
ExtROM: (I erased the extended rom.. crazy radical reinterpretation of READ-ONLY HTC)

Would you like to help me build a single CAB file for T-mobile settings?
I would like to take a stock WM5 install, and then include the Qtek dialer and T-mobile settings.
This should provide a very clean build. :idea:
Anyone who knows how to build a settings CAB file, your input would be greatly received!!
Latest TMobile ROM
In the latest TMobile ExtROM has anyone done a breakdown of what each of the CAB files does? ESpecially interested in those that configure the MMS settings and GPRS
Thanks
Re: Latest TMobile ROM
I found the thread that describe the cabs in the 1.12.126 rom, here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32839
i'd imagine most of the names and descriptions are the same.

Hi,
Thanks for all the replies, still having problems after the "latest greatest" update. I got the update from http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/
The MDA still hangs up on 80% of the calls, especially if you spin the screen before answering.

I have recently upgrade my X01HT to WM6... tried both the latest release of Pro Black 2.0 and LVSW... Both were excellent! However, I ran into problem with 3G/HSDPA connection and when viewing my local provider's portal... I am living in HK and while I was on the old Dopod HK WM5 Rom, I was able view the provider's (Smart-tone) portal w/o scrolling left & right. As well, the link for streaming contents are visible. While I am connected to the portal, the connection will drop but automatically re-connect... Have applied the HK Network Wizard extracted from the WM5 ROM and all network settings were applied successfully.
I have read PAPPL's post about browser.dll, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1198850#post1198850... Still not able to get what I used to see on WM5 Rom.
Please shed some light on how the providers usually detect the model of the device and it's capability? I suspect my provider is unable to identify my device and thus failed to adjust it's content to fit the screen, as well as to display the streaming content...
Any suggestions/comments would be highly appreciated!

Generally the pages use the string returned by the browser to determine what it can do....i THINK it returns Mozilla4.0 or something along them lines when you can view pages with images etc....
I havent tried the browser.dll thing to see if it works as i cna still only see the text version of the O2 portal here in UK.
Prior to updating to AKU3.3 (then later WM6) it worked nicely.
Thanks, mrvanx... Your documentations are excellent... Thumbs up for YOU!
What I can do is to downgrade back to WM5 and pull the corresponding registry entry.... only concern is, if the upgraded IE Mobile version? within WM6 may have anything to do with that... struggling...

the reg entry hack doesnt work from AKU3.3 onwards
from what ive read its returned using browser.dll in later versions
mrvanx, wonder if the browser.dll from WM5 (the version that used to work) would help with proper screen formatting on WM6? I have tired to pull a copy from another device running WM5 but it's locked... As well, the file is named something different, like browser.86.dll... Is there a way to extract the copy? Thanks in advance...

Probably not, but the Optus and Vodafone code will work under Telstra Next-G
Network Setup Wizard gets all the MMS and Internet settings right first go aswell
I suspect we will never see a JasJam ROM as imate have dropped HTC as a supplier. I doubt they will got to the trouble of providing WM6 and Telstra won't do it on their own.
The original Dopod SEA WWE works great and also automatically sets up Telstra's settings. It also has the bonus of not being carrier branded and pleasingly less green than the HTC ROM.
Thanks a Million Guys.
I am sure I-mate will never have an update for JasJam especially with a WM-6 ROM.

So NextG is a definite go with this rom? Should I see an H in the menu or just 3G??
Greg
I just have the 3G icon to start off with, then it goes to H when i start up the data connection.
Only thing i had to do to get it going was set network type to WCDMA

Hi Guys.
Here is the way to get "everything telstra" working on your black dymond.
Step one
Install the attached telstra my place cab. Then proceed as follows....
Under connections select new connection.
Name it Telstra Internet
Click the modem tab. Click new.
Name the connection Telstra Internet
Select a Modem (GPRS, 3G)
access point name telstra.wap
Click finish
Set proxy to 10.1.1.181 port 80
HTTP should be 10.1.1.181:80
Then open telstra my place icon and navigate to foxtel. This should work.
Note to access non telstra sites you might need to disable proxy in my connections
Hope this works guys. pm if any trouble.

I flashed this ROM on my Telstra i-mate Jasjam (though I use Optus) . Works great! Network Wizard automatically set up all Optus settings. Now get 3G and HSPDA speeds and MMS settings all work! Thanks to all for sharing their insights and making our devices better than ever!
new official (really official) ROM!
AT&T just released their official WM6 ROM. I won't be able to load it until tomorrow. If anyone does, please post here if it's any better than the original "official" ROM.

Imate Telstra Rom Windows Mobile
Hi spoke to a support person about a week ago and he reconed a new rom was coming for Telstra customers for Mobile 6
Hi all
Sorry if this question might sound silly but i am new to this.
I have recentley aquired a imate jasjam:
ROM version; 1.31.305.2
ROM date; 09/08/06
Radio version; 1.20.31.10
Protocol version; 32.52.7020.00H
ExtROM version; 1.31.305.103
now this is set to telstra settings
I however have a three network and dont know the setting to set it to work with three network. when i rang 3 support they told me i need to get the dopod pro which works on their network.
I though the dopod pro and imate jasjam where the same phone but they tried to convince me it is different and advised me of not trying to put dopod software on jasjam as it might lock the phone.
So now i am totally confused
Do i update my imate with the WM-6 ROM from above link? if so how...
thnx in advance for any help
Official imate WM6
Here is a link to the official release of the imate WM6 release for the Jasjam: http://clubimate.com/jasjamsupport/JASJAMAU.html
You can then configure your settings for any operator after that. And you are right - the 838pro and jasjam are the same!
I would recommend flashing the Dopod rom or a Schaps rom. These have Network wizard which will setup all your settings. I am on 3 also and use Schaps rom. Works perfectly.
thnx a million guys
will look into both..
schaps looks good, first time flashing so i hope i dont brick the thing.
cheers

Follow the guides available and you won't go wrong.
It was daunting at 1st for me, but after you'v done it once it's easy!
There is a Telstra WM6 rom
I'm a bit confused by some of the comments above. There is a Telstra WM6 rom available on the Club iMate site. I had downloaded and installed it successfully but unfortunately it is not supported by BB Connect 4.0.0.9x so I went back to the Dopod Asia build.
Another update from 3Aus - 6 months old, but not listed anywhere?
Strangely, I can't see any mention in the forums of the 3Aus 838pro update available from 3... They mention version 1.30.707.8, which looks like it's supposed to be newer than the one mentioned above (which ends in .707.4)... It's been available for a while, and I don't know how it compares with some of the cooked ROMs available.
http://www.three.com.au/Dopod (Select 838pro from the dropdown, then "Planet 3 software upgrade" link, then another "Planet 3 software upgrade" link... Page contains download and install instructions, and some )
Direct link to download: http://203.210.124.136/3/software/Dopod_838_Pro_p3.exe
Supposedly, according to an sms I got maybe 6 months ago, this update is supposed to enable streaming content on Planet3. I haven't tried it yet, but will be doing so in the next few days. Has anyone else had a look at this? It's not listed in the wiki either, as far as I can see... (I'm about to try it out because of not being able to get Planet 3 streaming under WM6.1...)
Edit: Never mind, this is a WM5 update. We don't have it listed anywhere, though, so I'll add in some details about it...
ROM Version 1.30.707.8 Date 12/13/06
Radio: 1.27.30.10
Protocol: 32.60.7020.06H
SPL: 1.09
IPL: 1.01
It does have streaming under Planet 3 working, though. I'll try to figure out how it works.

Total noob here. My dopod is running windows mobile 5 - will this rom upgrade my OS to version 6?
Thanks in advance
This link is not working, is there any other linkwhere i can download

Rom Version: Black Satin
Rom Date: 07/10/07
Radio Version: 1.41.00.10
Protocol Version: 32.74.7020.18H
I have searched and as you can probably imagine any people have done neraly the same thing, but i cant seem to find one exactly the same.
I am in need to revert back to the original WM5, but to keep the phone unlocked with SPL 2.10.Olipro. I used the Hermunlocker.
Beleive it or not i have a backup rom.
Is there anyone that could help me step by step on what i need to load into the device and in what order.
My need to do this is to sell on and move onto the next Vario.
I see there being a problem if i sell it on, in the way that someone will probably get confused without the original O/S on.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Sorry if i have repeated myself over another post, but im being honest as i have been looking from work and home today.
Again thanks in advance.
In my current position can i install rom
RUU_Hermes_TMO_UK_3.60.110.4_6275_1.50.00.00_108_Ship.exe
Thanks again
If you've got the original ROM or a provider supplied upgrade then rolling back to that should not be a problem. Have a look at MrVanx's link in my Signature.
erm, this probalby isnt the place for this
you didn't hear from me, but there is an official t-mobile wm6 for hermes on the t-mobile.co.uk website.
a few small issues with it, windows live is not supported neither is blackberry connect. oter than that it seems ok.
you may need to change your voicemail number from +44 to 0044 prefix
it may not be up there for long tho
