M1000 ROM

I'm trying to upgrade my o2 XDA II to an M1000 ROM because I want to se eif it's any better than the O2 one,
Does anyone know where I can get it from? I've searched the forum for hours and have only managed to find a few zip files with the contents of the extended ROM in them.

The differences between operators is what is supplied in the Extended ROM. For example, version 1.72 of the OS is the same on all devices as is version 1.17 of Radio - Unless, of course they are in a different language.
The Extended ROM allows operators to add their own customizations, additional applications and, in some cases, their own fixes.

Hello again,
Hello there, I was under the impression that in the O2 ROM, changes have been made to some of the operating system dll files that control handsfree.
I have a problem getting mp3 audio out of the device when it is in car kit mode and from research on the site, i-Mate and Orange phone owners don't have this problem.
One suggestion was that the handsfree dll had been changed and so I was trying to get a copy of the Orange (UK) Rom as packaged by Orange. (I assume that they do an upgrade file in a similar way to O2.)

I have a copy of the custom 1.72 Orange ROM that ninjadonkey created. It's been pre configured to Orange UK, and its unofficial as Orange are useless at providing decent upgrades! It will be exactly the same as the new O2 upgrade without all the cool extra software (Fonix etc...) that you get from o2 so you're probably best off with what you've got mate!

Ok,
I notice that you have Tom Tom on your device, does that mean you have an in-car kit with it?
If so, can you hear Tom Tom messages through the Kit or does the device insist on playing through device speaker only?
Also, can anyone advise me on how to customise the Windows install in ROM so that the folders are set up as I like them (As with the XDA-Developers SER).
Cheers again.

No, unfortunately TomTom only comes through the device speaker.

grrrrrr! Bloody fiddlers developing in problems!

Can a copy of the custom 1.72 Orange ROM be downloaded from anywhere?
Perhaps it will help with some of the problems I am having with my M1000.
Thanks.

Here you go...
Enjoy at your own risk - works great for me though. This is an unofficial ROM customised for Orange UK by ninjadonkey. You will have issues with country code errors if you choose to upgrade again unless you follow the instructions in dcs's post on country code errors.

02 XDAII Extended ROM - WM2003SE

I upgraded to WM2003SE a while back and at the time had an Orange SIM in my XDAII and my 02 SIM in my E200 Smartphone. The extended ROM I used was Orange specific and contained all the necessary GPRS Configs etc
Anyways, I've now got a C500 with my Orange SIM in it and so the 02 Sim is back in my XDAII and I'm looking for a good External Rom dump that contains the UK 02 GPRS/WAP/MMS Configs etc and is compatible with WM2003SE.
Can anyone point me in the direction of one, I have looked and tried one or two but none have the correct configs for 02's GPRS service (Pay monthly not PAYG).
TIA

Did you get anywhere with this, Darren? I'm just wondering whether to upgrade my O2 XDAII to WM2003SE but the lack of dedicated O2 Ext.rom files (as far as I can tell) is putting me off.

I didn't but don't let that stop you, the SE upgrade is well worth it. I just removed all the O2 specific rubbish from the Ext ROM and it's fine.

Thanks for the reply.
I'd love to upgrade but without the O2 auto-config software in the ExtROM I wouldn't have a clue where to start configuring all the network, SMS, MMS etc settings for O2 pay monthly. Do you know of a guide or something somewhere?
Secondly, I searched earlier to try and find out which was the best ROM to use for those of us in the UK, but there didn't seem to be a definitive answer. Would you mind telling me which ROM you used and where you got it from if you're happy with it? I need Bluetooth headset, BT GPS, BT ActiveSync, speakerphone to work perfectly to consider upgrading. Currently my XDAII works like a charm with ROM 1.72 but some people seem to have had trouble with the SE upgrade and Bluetooth.
Thanks a bunch in advance.

I use all those BT functions alos, I used the 2.02 ROM available at the beginning of this thread.
I've left the auto config files in the Ext ROM so there is no need to manually configure anything. I have had zero issues with it since the upgrade I'm happy to upload my Ext ROM to an FTP if you want it?
The only critical noe I found was to remove the 'TPDisable' entry in the Ext ROM when performing the upgrade as you receive a lot of 'This isn't designed for WM2003SE' messages and with TPDisable enbled you can't click OK!

Forgive me if I'm being a bit fick, but I can't see where you mean. Have you a ROM available through your pocketgpsworld.com website? Or is there only one 2.02 ROM available and I can download it from this site's FTP? I thought the 2.02 ROM was the Chinese one.

I didn't know it was possible to upgrade the OS ROM without touching the ExtROM. I'm not a noob with the XDAII, but I've found the myriad threads and discussions on the question of 2003SE upgrades very confusing! Since there seems to be no obvious single solution I haven't known where to start.
If you have a working ExtROM for the XDAII on O2 UK and you wouldn't mind uploading it somewhere (this site?) I'd be very grateful. If you wouldn't mind pointing me to the main OS ROM image that you used as well then that'd be groovy too.

I guess that's achieved by editing the config file in the ExtROM once it's all installed after an upgrade?

Sorry, I thought this was the original WM2003SE thread! The download I used is at the beginning of this thread.
It's a while since I upgraded mine, I had thought the Ext ROM remained intact but reading the thread instructions apparently not. Sorry I can't help more but as I say it's some months sisnce I did it!

Aaah. OK. Thanks again, but I think I'll leave it in that case. I don't yet feel brave enough to start messing about with home-cooked ExtROMs if you don't have yours handy. It was good of you to offer though.

Qtek 9000 Shipped ROM now on FTP

MMB was kind enough to post the Qtek 9000 ROM here:
http://s5.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=12XDPY08OSB2R0PAMI3W42KE3Q
And I will be uploading it to the FTP for everyone else in case the above link expires:
/Uploads/Universal/Shipped ROM/
Even though it has the "latest" ROM date and version number, I seem to be having continuous issues with my Qtek 9000 in the fact that some of my settings refuse to stick:
I have to constantly re-pair my HS850 Bluetooth headset and my GlobalSat BT-338 GPS.
I have to occasionally associate my device to my Wi-Fi router and re-enter my WPA-PSK key.
I have since flashed my device with the JASJAR ROM and the O2 Radio ROM, and customized the JASJAR's Extended ROM to see how much better it performs.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how I can use this ROM with the NoID installer. Again I need to bypass the country code error generated by the .exe installer.
Or explain to me where these installers "unpack" their files to so I could try and locate them and use the NoID installer from there?
Michael

now only if we can get the english orange rom aswell....

I am currently using the Jasjar ROM / Extended Rom and the O2 Radio rom. No real issues so far. I am not sure I should try the update of the Qtek 9000 ROM looking at your comments above.

But is in Italian or English? thx

Unit only display "Serial v1.00" after Qtek ROM fl
Hi,
After attempting the Qtek ROM flash my unit now only displays "Serial v1.00" after a cold or hard reset.
I've tried to fallback to the JasJar ROM and the same thing happens.
Any assistance with this problem would be most appreciated.
Regards
Michael

Try to reflash again, but this time only use the Radio Rom 1.04.02

How can I extract the shipped ROM from my unupgraded UK TMobile MDA Pro?
I will post it up after extraction in case anyone needs it.

Hi,
Yes it seemed that a radio only (v 1.04.02) ROM flash got the unit working again.
I did have the SIM and SD card out for several ROM flashes prior, but maybe the combo of all 3 (no SIM, no SD and radio only) was the trick.

That is good news. Please let us know how the ROM of the Qtek performs. Currently I am using the Jasjar rom with the O2 rom. No real issue so far.

If you have WinRAR or WinZip installed, right-click on the executable and choose Extract to [folder]...
Then you can throw in the MaUpgradeUt_NoID.exe file in the same folder and run it.
Someone also said you can add a line [CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1 in the RUU.conf file using Notepad, but I don't think it made a difference for me.

Hi,
Actually the last ROM I flashed was the JasJar so I'm back to square one, but I intend to try the QTek again in a couple of days (just need to settle the nerves a bit after the horror of owning an expensive brick for several hours).
In regards to unpacking the .exe files, I stumbled across that trick with WinRAR myself and I was a little surprised myself. That would make upgrading from other sites so much easier especially with access to the NoID installer.
I might try the NoID and the RUU.dll trick to bypass country code to see if both work (if my heart can stand the strain of more repeats of the brick event).
At the moment I've got a prepaid vodaphone SIM (here in Australia) and I'm working on setting that up. I've been advised that full mobile broadband is only available for billing customers so I'll have to wait until I can visit a shop to sign up and try that.
If anyone has the settings already for vodaphone let me know!

RADIO v1.03.00 required!!
Hi!
Can somebody extract the QTEK 9000 shipped RADIO v1.03.00 out and post here?
The reason being if after upgrading to the RADIO (from Dopod 900) v1.04.02 and finding it unsuitable later on I would like to re-flash it with the original shipped RADIO.
Thanks

http://www.beyondthetech.com/downloads/phone/upgrades/
I put the JASJAR, QTEK, and XDA EXEC Upgrade Utilities there. Just download the one you want, right-click and extract the files with WinZip or WinRAR...

I'm stuck pon the accursed splash screen - tho i can get bootloader up .. any ideas what i can do?

Hi BeyondtheTech
Thanks.
One question. How to flash the RADIO only?
Thanks again

New WM5?

ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/BLueAngel/XDAIIshangman
I put this on the BA upload FTP today, MDA could you have a look at it?
Here is what came in the description
Instructions for upgrading your ROM
to WM 5 Build 14343
At this point, there is 1 BlueAngel WM5 English Roms available: Version
5.1.1700 Build 14343
This is a BA GSM rom and will only work on PH20B / PH20B1 devices.
And it cant be made, fixed, edited or reworked to work on any other device
You need Windows XP and SP2 to make ActiveSync 4 work! SP2 is available free
of charge at any PC World computer superstore or direct from Microsoft.com
Flashing your device can turn it into a Paper Weight, this is your own risk
Flashing a Rom which is not from your carrier will void the warranty
The Partion Tool resets your Exteneded rom Password and you Will not be able to
lock you EXT Rom if you revert back to CE2003
I have not tried it out yet. The way I put it in there is in sort of a package form, the file rarsave has the original rar files in it and the folders are the unpacked versions.
Any comments or results would be grately apreciated.

Ok, I upgraded to this ROM, from what I can tell it is the most straight up almost factory version of WM5 I have seen, It is fast and solid.
The only thing missing is the Blackberry software, Enterprise or web. If anyone knows where to get that I would be a happy camper. Can you get this software in a CAB form?
When you click on IE for the first time it even says OEM version!!!
No branding at all.

are you sure this isn't the one which we have tried before?

Where did you get this rom ?
I think it is the first WM5 rom for BA, PDA2k_2k5.rar but I will see after reflash
There is no point to upgade to this rom i am right and this is the first one the same as this one
There are far better roms in the ftp than this one

There is no branding in every WM5 rom fo BA, because it is not distributed by an operator

even for my 2003SE, it doesn't have any branding because I bypass auto config ... so don't think it is such a big discovery.

Yep sorry must me the same one, I am still looking for the WM5 Blackberry connect instant mail that will work with this version...

Imate JJ ROM on O2 Xda Exec

I recently upgraded my O2 Xda Exec with the imate JJ rom (ROM Version: 1.30.82 WWE). But after a hard reset, I keep getting the following error:
Code:
Can not run on this device.
Upon investigating, I have discovered that the pocket arabizer cabs are installed during the customization after a hard reset. The similar rom (and the mentioned cabs) are working flawlessly on my other universal (imate jasjar) but on my O2, i keep getting the above error (i.e. can not run on this device). Is there a way to get the arabizer cabs to working nicely with my O2? Help in this regard would be appreciated.

help, please help. just say something. just kiddin'
hopefully, someone will come along and offer some valuable help.

T-Mobile is doing the same thing
My T-Mobile MDA Pro is doing the sme thing, it must be a way to tell the ROM that my T-Mobile is a JasJar...and I have used the "no_ID" and it did not work...
HELP

The imate roms (dont know if only from the Jasjar) have something builtin (don't know if cab file in extrom or in the rom itself) that only allows installation on imate jasjars. I think its some sort of list or program which checks the imei.

My observations so far are:
1. I have tried a custom extended rom, specially designed to avoid any cabs that might check the imei. This meant using a custom config file and autorun file from O2.
2. Only IMEI checking cab I have found so far is the 'Default_CAAVPPC_IMEI_2.6.80_range.cab' -- it is CA Antivirus software. I think it checks the IMEI.
3. I have tried with certain telco provided cabs (e.g. Mobily, Etisalat_UAE, etc.), to see if this works. It doesn't.
4. What does Install_tsk.exe do?
5. I have tried with different rom, but extended rom from imate JJ, but that doesn't work either.
6. Is there a way to fix this problem? I have seen this problem with several other people in this forum, but no concrete solution is found yet.
7. Can somebody else confirm that, indeed there is some IMEI checking in the imate roms?
8. being able to use the imate JJ roms on O2 indicates that there is no IMEI checking in the ROM itself.
9. Help is desparetly needed. :roll:
S.D.

JasJar on T-Mobile
I have tried everything since I got my T-Mobile and I installed like 100 ROMs trying to make my T-Mobile MDA Pro thinks that it is a JasJar...but no luck...
I have installed the WWE JasJar with no problem, I think the problem is installing the ME version with Arabizer and the AntiVirus software...and yes it does check the IMEI number...
My T-Mobile now officially an O2 but it seems like it refused to think that it is a localized version of the iMate JasJar.
Is there a way that makes my T-Mobile thinks it is a JasJar????

this seems to be an issue with a lot of people. can we have some experts to help us out?

IT CAN NOT BE DONE...SORRY

I think that the "Arabizer" developers had locked in the software to work only on the iMates...with specific IMEI numbers, I have installed the WWE ROM on my T-Mobile and it works fine but when I install the ME ROM it does not work...
