Hi all, my new BA arrived finally! I have decided to keep it afterall. I am a total n00b at this stuff, and really struggle to understand the Wiki site. However, I did manage to download XDA tools and backup my ROM.
I then downloaded the PDA2k_WWE_14000_176_11200 ROM from the FTP site. It said it was going to update my Radio and Ext. ROM too. Anyhow, it comes up with the country code error.
I added that line of script into the file but it still has the error. Any ideas? I thought the iMate 1.40 ROM was supposed to work on the XDA2s.
I really want a more stable device. Are there any other ways to do this? I tried using XDA Tools to upload the NK part of the iMate ROM separately, but it said it needed to be an exact size to work.
What is the best ROM? We couldn't even figure out how to cook and Ext. ROM so if anyone could give me a hand it would be much appreciated. The Wiki assumes you know what you're doing but I really have no idea.
Cheers guys - Mike x
You don't need to use XDA Tools it you're using a standard manufacturers ROM, just the No ID program for the device ID shortcut.
I had to add the country code ID in too, but after that it was golden. Not sure what's up with you...

If you are on O2 UK and want the imate ROM that also has O2 settings for GPRS, MMS etc, have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=24000&highlight=
It's a set of instructions that I made using the wiki, as well as info other members had given me, particularly mdaIIIuser to upgrade a UK O2 XDA IIs to the imate 1.40 without having to enter GPRS settings etc manually afterwards, and still keeping the country code to O2 (which means you can use an official O2 upgrade later , without any problems, if they ever get their arses in gear!)
If you need any more help, let me know and I'll do what I can. If you have an ftp site you want me to upload my upgrade files to, PM me with the details and I'll send it you. I'd put in on the ftp here, but i don't think it's worth taking up so much space with a customised ROM.
HTH,
Fin
OK guys, I managed to upgrade my device to the latest iMate ROM, and the 1.13 radio ROM
Problem now is cooking my Ext. ROM. I know I can't update the Ext. ROM that came with the iMate ROM. I want to put my 02 settings in, but I really don't know how. It won't let me put my old 02 image back on the phone, it says the USB is not connected properly
Does anyone have the .nb1 of the 02 Ext. ROM?
Sack that. I downloaded the newest 02 Rom I could find and extracted just the ext. Rom file from the .exe
I am learning
which o2 rom did you use? if it was the uk rom you will have problems as it is 1.31 and your rom is 1.40. you need to unlock the extended rom and copy the base rom 1.40*147 then add your o2 cabs and anything else

Hey thanks Findus, your guide was great.
Yea, I put the 02 1.3 extended ROM on. I didn't know what else to do.
Do you mean the base extended ROM of the iMate 1.40 ROM I put on? I tried that, and there is no Config.txt in the iMate extended ROM.
Sorry, I don't understand this too well

I did not do anything with upgradetools.rar but the device seems to be working fine. I haven't made a call yet as I'm cut off. Does this mean I don't have to do it?
Chers -Mike
Glad to have helped, although I can't take credit, I got all the info from thw wiki and other posts!
Have just been trying to upload my Extended ROM, it is a modified version of Cooked ERK 1.4x Base that can be found in the wiki under ERK 1.40 . This version of the EXT ROM does have a config.txt, you were probably looking at 1.40.176? All I did was add the 6/7 O2 CABS to the config.txt of the base rom, then changed the caller id cab to 1.20 from the link below:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/CAB_Files/Caller ID/IA_CallerID_1.20_WWE.CAB
You will probably have some problems with the Ext ROM you have on at the moment, because you haven't got any of the patches for 1.40 which might mean GPRS etc might be unstable.
I will try and upload my Ext ROM again later if you want, all you will need to do is unlock your ext rom, delete the files, and copy over the new files. DO a hard reset and you're away!
Good luck!
Fin
OK, I don't understand.
I just delete all the files (aside from the 02 setup ones) of my current ROM and put these ones in? I don't need to upgrade the Ext. ROM bith the BAUpdate thing?
No, you won't use the BA Upgrade itility- that is for reflashing, which if you had a ms_.nbf file(extended ROM installation file) you would need. There is no tool to edit ms_.nbf files on Blue Angel, instead you have to unlock the Ext ROM manually, copy/delete files, update the config.txt then do a hard reset. Takes some getting used to- I was used to using er2003edit with my Himalaya to make a custom ms_.nbf file, but hey, this method works too!
Good luck,
Fin
Hey man, I already did it! Well good! It's based on the Qtek ROM you reccommended with the o2 stuff added in and the caller ID updated.
now running:
ROM version: iMate 1.40.00 WWE
ROM date: 03/10.05
Radio version: 1.13,00
Protocal version: 1337.42
ExtROM: 1.40.147 based on the Qtek cooked for use on 02 UK
My phone hasn't required a single hard reset all day and is still recieving calls (with sound) and messages
Thanks everyone!

Hi
I am about to get an XDAIIs to replace my falling apart PDA2K.
I want to use it on Vodafone.
Is there a real 'idiots' guide to putting the latest and greatest ROM onto the XDAIIs.
(I really do mean idiots guide by the way).
Cheers.

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.

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?
RE
Hi BeyondtheTech
Thanks.
One question. How to flash the RADIO only?
Thanks again
Guys, the about 2 months ago i changed the T-Mobile Rom to Imate Rom. it wroked well, but lately, wen i start any program, the device keeps restarting. Can you suggest me anything.
I am thinking about changing the Imate rom to a Qtek or to a O2 Rom. If you support my idea, can you please give me the links where is described how to do that.
Thank you
Hi dimushor,
if it is 2 months since your change from T-Mobile to iMate, I guess that iMate is not the reason for your problems, instead something what was done with the device in the meantime. I do not think that changing to any other ROM might solve the problem, I think a hard-reset will do the trick just as well.
If You want to change to another ROM, just use the way You did when changing to iMate in the first place.
What ROM is best is discussed here a lot, guess You can try the new iMate, it should be really faster.
Ruud
Spasibo. Thank you a lot for a precise, short and straight answer
:roll:
i made : light power reset but it tell me erorr country id
why?
:roll:
use the MaUpgrade_noID.exe to start the upgrade. It is available from the ftp section of this site. I did this yesterday and it worked first time
Hi Weasel, what do you think of the Qtek ROM? I recently changed from the O2 ROM to the Imate version, would be interested to know what you think are the Pros and Cons of your latest ROM?
Thanks

Hi
I have just gone through the update process (to UNI_QTEK_13077_176_10900_WWE_Ship.exe) with my xda exec as I was on the latest o2 rom and I followed the instructions here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...tion On How To Upgrade with Bootloader method
The bit I hadn't picked up before was the .nbf files have to be in the same directory as the rest of the update and MaUpgradeUt_noID - I deleted the radio version witin the folder (radio_.nbf_) and then pasted in the 1.0.9 one which I downloaded speratly - hit MaUpgradeUt_noID and everything completed within 30 mins or so.
The xda is like a new machine compared to the old o2 rom I was on as it's soooo much quicker.
Oh i was worried about not having my o2 settings but if you download this cab file and run this cab[/url after you have finished setting it up on qtek rom you get all your setting back for o2 (choose basic when using cab not corporate as that doesn't seem to work!
Hi Andy, what do you think of the Qtek ROM? I recently changed from the O2 ROM to the iMate version, would be interested to know what you think are the Pros and Cons of your latest ROM?
sorry for the delay in responding:
My first impressions of the QTEK ROM were fine but.... on Sunday, the phone just stopped working completely - no signal etc. Hard reset was required to get it working again. I've disabled error reporting and will load my software back on later today.

i have the P3600 running WM6. I have setup the simple PIN password if device unused for 30 min, on two occasions after i power off and on my device, the device does not recognize the password i created. the ONLY work around is to do a HARD RESET and i lost all my data which is most frustrating.
this happened to me twice since i have the phone about 4 months now. i am running WM6, ROM version: 3.00.707.17, ROM date: 6/29/07
has anyone experienced this before? if so, is there a fix out there??
I'm having the same issue. It started happening when I installed A3XL's rom and now with Karmba's one, and it's anoying...
I had Mary's rom before and it never happened, so now I'm going to come back to this one.
Hi,
Same problem here! I use Trinity DOPODASIA WWE 3.00.707.18 6275 Radio 1.46.30.11_108 Ship ROM-image (from xda-Wiki).
At first I thought it had to do with installed programs, but even the pristine version does it...
Any help appreciated!
