gprs and o2 asia 1.40 rom - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

hi guys, i just updated to o2 asia 1.40 rom and just have a few questions,
1 . the gprs, i had to enter these details myself, but i know they are correct, but when i connect to gprs, i seem to have a counter now on t he gprs icon on top of screen, to me this looks like a wap / pay per minute thing, can anyone confirm they have this also and taht i have not done it wrong, also that it is just a counter to say how long i have bene connected to gprs.
also i thought the o2 asia rom would have had o2 active with it... anyone have this cab file is one available??
cheers guys!!!!

Hi joey,
If you want the latest O2 Craptive CAB, from the latest UK ROM, it can be found here:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/BlueAngel/Extended_ROM_Kitchen_1_3X/Customization_Operator/O2_UK/
Just download the cab file install.arm.cab
Why bother though?! It sucks!!!!
Let me know how you get on with the Asia ROM, I was thinking of switching, but my phone is pretty stable at the moment anyway on the imate ROM.
Cheers,
Fin

Sorry, just tried that link and it doesn't work. Go to wiki, click on BA< then Ext ROM kitchen, cooked ROMS, then click on O2 UK 1.31.139 then click on the cabs link.

thanks for that, i will test it on the 1.40 rom and see if it is ok, im also going to see over the next few days, whether asia rom 1.40 runs ok with the programs that i use,
anyone else know the gprs thingy???, cos i want to use it, but dont want to be charged per minute for internet use.

Dude do what this say's.
I've just done it: UK XDA IIs, on Orange network, running i-mate 1.40 ROM.
Slightly going OT...
I am quite keen to do the upgrade from my standard O2 XDA2s 1.31.00 WWE ROM, but I am a little unsure on what 1.40 ROM to download from WIKI. I think I need:
i-mate 1.40.176
I know my device is a Blue Angel, Rom as above, extended ROM as 1.31.139 WWE
Can anyone confirm the correct download please?
Also, has anyone had any problems installing on XDA's the same as mine?
I have read the install tutorial, but would like to get an idea of if I am going to run into problems.
Oh, one more thing... What advantage does ROM 1.40 have over my existing ROM apart from bug fixes (oh please! daily lockups!!!)?
Many, many thanks.
O2 XDAIIs Upgrade
I used the i-mate 1.40.176 upgrade for my O2 XDAIIs. All in all its pretty stable, with only the Bluetooth stability (memory issues and BT Manager & Settings "disappearing") as the main issue. Much better than the O2 1.31 ROM (will they ever get that 1.40 update out...!?) You will need to use the "MAUpgrade" rather than "BAUpgrade" utility, as the 1.40.176 ROM was built for the i-mate rather than the xda2s.
One problem I did have with this ROM at the start, was that GPRS would not stay connected. This seems to be a sporadic problem among those that upgrade, but if you experience it after upgrading to this ROM, you can correct the problem by replacing the "CallerID" cab in the extended ROM with the older version (1.17) This version of the file is available on wiki also. This will involved unhiding and unlocking the Extended ROM and replacing the file. Look at the wiki instructions under Blue Angel for "Cooking Your First Extended ROM" That said, you may not experience this problem, so upgrade the ROM first and see how it goes.
All in all a much better ROM. I am trying the new O2 Asia WWE ROM with a modified extended ROM and this is also pretty good. Slighty better Wi Fi switch on and off in my opinion. This one is on wiki also, but you will probably need to "cook" the extended ROM here a bit more than the 1.40.176 version.
Hope this helps

Anybody tried the imate 1.40 rom on O2 XDA IIs purchased from Singapore?
I am facing problems to using any 'Today Plug-ins' like IP Dashboard, O2 Plus beta, Lexisgoo English dictionary etc. The problem is after say 30 minutes or after more, my keyboard input will only be selectable, cannot select CE-Star chinese keyboard or Intellipad.
What do I have on my O2 XDA IIs?
1. CE-Star
2. Intellipad and Intellidialler
3. Lexisgoo English dictionary
4. SKTools
5. Sprite backup standard
6. Cal89A calculator
7. MDict 1.21
and many more.
Please help anyone.
Thanks.
my exerience with this device and all the ROMS has been that the fewer Today plugins you have the better. SPB Pocket Plus V2.5 caused a lot of lock ups. Not sure about new version 3.0 Seems multiple Today plug ins cause conflicts. Hard to pinpoint all the interactions and what affects what... Not much help I am afraid :-[ I would just try to keep them to a minimum.
Regards
chris
You said it man!
I'm down to zero 'Today Plug-ins' now and it seems to keep my IIs from needing to 'soft reset'.
Any others from Singapore who had used the Imate 1.40 rom?
Two major problems that I am facing with 1.40 ROM include:
1. wifi can't be connected after disconnecting GPRS.
2. bluetooth problem (memory error) or storage card disappear after disconnecting BT.
Anybody experience these?
Cheers,

I had used the Imate rom before but, there has been many casses of terrible lag. When i updated to 1.40 and radio to 1.13 wooo... just very very fast...
Installing the latest Pocketplus with my 1.40 ROM makes my device hard-reset itself.
I need a way of getting IE to be able to save pictures. Anyone know of an alternative way to do this?
I have no problem with pocketplus 3.0.
Which version you are using?
1.40 ROM has serius today screen problems with me too (That's why I still use 1.31).
I have no problem with pocketplus 3.0.
Which version you are using?

I really want the mods it offers. (particularly 'save picture as' in IE).

o2 Exec ROM Update Required ? ? ?

I should have checked this before upgrading, but is there a XDA Exec ROM available anywhere?
Won't say any more but should have it this weekend :wink:
I presume from this, you're not keep on the imate ROM you've just flashed yours with??
If you're desperate to get back, try the cabs one by one from the O2 Extended ROM that is on the FTP

GREAT NEWS !!!
Thanks for info. I hope that it will be online on the O2 site or someone will upload the upgrade. Please, just rate it from 1 to 10 8) .
My view regard the o2 & iMate roms...
The imate seems to be more stable, I've not had the system lock...yet
Performance seems slightly better, but nothing to write home about.
The Wifi issues seem to have disappeared, not sure why, and will be monitoring this.
The ui is better, all the o2 icons have gone, just a single battery icon at the bottom of the screen.
fingery, did you manage to get hold of the o2 ROM?
What's the current O2 rom anyway? I got my exec last week and it's:
R 1.04.02
G 42.37.P8
D 1.13.48 WWE
if that means anything. I was considering putting on the jasjar rom update that's on the ftp ("if it ain't broke, muck around with it until it is") since the D number is higher, but the other two are lower so I figured I'd play my cards right and wait...
M
P.S. if there's a way of extracting these, and anyone wants them, PM me with instructions/links and I'll do it.

Vodafone VPX rom wanted

I've had a look around the FTP but to no avail.
Is there a WWE VPX rom around anywhere, or a link to download one from the voda site? I've tried looking but not found one yet.
Device is PH20B currently on 1.42, 1.13 and O2 ext rom from their latest release.
looking for the same thing for months, no luck either
Is it possible to steal the theme then from the VPA ROM? The cool red and silver one.
What I have done is use the T-Mob 1.42 ROM with the VPA Ext Rom.
The main language was english, but anything that was installed by the ext rom became german - so not much use to me.
yep
did the same thing, does not work well
Lordao
Here you go guys, The Vodafone theme
I've got a German VPX rom. As I'm a lazy muppet can anyone host this for me / walk me through uploading it to the FTP? It's no longer on their site.
Richard
I'm searching for the newst ROM file for the Vodafone VPx..
Rightnow I have
Rom version: 1.22.00 WWE
Rome Date: 10/22/04
Radio version: 1.06.00
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtROM version: 1.22.155 WWE
I assume it's too old ROM, Where to find the new one?
Should the one for PDA2K or Qtek9090 ROM work on my device??
Waiting for reply
Vodafone WWE Ext ROM..
Downloaded the Vodafone skin posted above, thanks
However does anyone have the UK Vodafone Ext ROM, or even a WWE one from somewhere else? I assume the company specific Ext ROM adds different functionality other than a skin...
Aim is to use most current ROM/Radio on O2 XDA IIs with a vodafone Ext ROM as I'll be using a Vodafone SIM... noticed a German Ext ROM for Vodafone VPAIII dated 140206 on the FTP site, can this be switched to English, and is it compatible with the O2 XDAIIs etc.?
Well a search gave me this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=46603&highlight=voda*
The rom is old and not in the wiki list due to the fact nobody cared to add it even though its no the ftp site.
hmmm...

Yip, been there, seen that, but I dont kow how to extract the ext rom stuff from the .exe
So I did search, I did read, but I didn't know what the next step was, hence the reason for asking someone to upload an ext rom to the kitchen other than the GER versions...
OK, went back to the WIKI and now realise that all I need is the ms_.nbf file from the WWE version mentioned above :shock: :shock: The question now is, how can I install that with a 1.40/1.42 ROM?
Well you don't
The Ext rom conmsits of apps and patches that are made for a rom version.
The apps are no problem the patches are as they will over write the files that have most likely been updated in the new rom.
(As in BT stack in 1.22 ships as 1.xx in the rom,
got updated to 1.xy in the ext rom
and the rom 1.40 its now 1.yy.
Run the ext rom then you are back to 1.xy)
So if you want to have the same carrier related stuff on a none same carrier rom then you save the cabs of the ext rom before you upgrade.
As for the vodaphone thing, well we have had no ship roms in the 1.4x family and no wwe ext roms uploaded. So what ever you want to do you have yourself.
BA kitchen goes into that in more detail I know as I wrote it.
Almost there... (Thanks to the Wiki & Forum)!
OK, finally took the plunge...
O2 XDAIIs arrived yesterday, Rom 1.31... updated straight away to the O2 update from there site (available on this site Xda_IIs_Upgrade_v140242.exe) and all went well... I then added a Vodafone skin but that wasn't really good enough It meant I still had the O2 Active gubbins all over my PDA which is of course no use...
Long night ahead I thought... and I was right
I now have the 1.42 CE ROM with the 1.15 Radio ROM and a cooked version of the Vodafone German EXT_ROM with many of the items replaced with the most current items from the Kitchen!
I still have a few niggles... double entries of files etc such as Windows media player, album etc (1 GER, 1 WWE) but the GER ones crap out and the WWE ones work... all I need to do now is work out which bits are installed by what in the original stuff and I should be able to sort it...
I have one request... could someone please post the UK Vodaphone version of the CAB which sets up the Vodafone Live! stuff? my vodafone live is all screwed up and looking for German stuff...
I will keep you informed in a new thread as to how my continued conversion goes!
Thanks to all who have updated the forum/Wiki it has been no end of help and I have a hybrid set of roms, with a cooked ext_rom and fully functional WiFi/BT/GPRS/MMS witin 24 hrs of receiving my XDA and taking the plunge... major kudos to you all!
As MDAUSERIII says... read the Wiki, and all will become clear!
Try this http://www.vodafone-dataworld.co.uk/uploads/BA_VF_UK_14000_238_11300_Ship.exe
Nice link
How did you get to that file so I can post it to wiki.
Where'd you find that!?!?!

Awesome link! D/Ling just now... then reflash (again!)
I'm now in a bit of a quandry... having finally got a data enabled device (BA as opposed to my mobile and Palm T3) I am now looking to use my data services more, but I have looked around for the best deals (I use PAYG) and it looks to be between O2 and Orange... the price of data on Vodafone is just too damned high...
I'l load this up and see how it goes first... thanks for your help

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

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.

Plz Help i need full rom w/ extendet rom for Orange UK

Hi guys
Could anyone help me to get full rom inc ext rom for orange UK.
I've got Xda trion from o2 - unlocked and my contract just finished so i 've put my orange card in it. phone is working fine
I've also flashed it wit WM6.1 MRH_5.0 and is working ok too but i dont have mms now.
Plese help with properly debranding my Xda from o2 Active to orange UK and be able to keep that nice today screen from MRH 5.0
I've got average knowledge about flashing etc so please give me simple solution
thx
There is, somewhere on this forum, a .cab for both MMS and GPRS settings in .cab files for Orange UK Contracts. I downloaded them myself about two days ago. I can upload the cabs from my phone if need be, but I'll try to find the post with them contained for you.
Edit: Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298813&page=3
Post #30, Page 3.
why not use htc connection wizard, it'll create settings for you?
Installing a cab that does it for you is easier.
So what i should do to remove o2 extended rom?
is this HTC conection wizard included in WM6.1 5.0 that i've already instaled?
I will be grateful for step by step instruction and advice which WM6.1 rom to use to have mms and video call
thank you
Tomas
thx ThinkTankInk
i've got these two files now but i'll wait maybe someone will tell me which WM6.1 ver is the best to use.
Personally I am using Schap's 3.54b. After I put this on my phone, I downloaded the cabs which I included in my previous post and installed them. Now I can make calls, video calls, MMS, SMS, GPRS etc. etc. connections. It's working flawlessly.
I'm not by any means saying this is the best way, but it's most comfortable for me and appears to be working flawlessly.
As I understand it, installing the cabs will just change your GPRS and MMS settings to connect to Orange regardless of which ROM you're on, even if it's O2's own.
Edit: I'm using WM6, not 6.1.
Thx again.
Well i'll try those cab files on the WM6.1 5.0 i got now coz i really like that HTC today screen with blac background and large whie clock thus its a bit slower that WM6.0
regards
