Hi,
I recently bought a Dopod 900 from Taiwan and having read the entire upgrade forum I am still slightly unsure about the best way to switch to English. From my reading I see that O2 has issues with the extended ROM (although I'm unclear what extended ROM really means, my best guess so far is that its preloaded applications) and that the Jasjar suffers from system hangs and performance (speed).
I understand that there are two options readily available to me;
1) Use the O2 ROM located at http://www.my-xda.com/xdaexec_soft.html (since I'm in Australia I just copied their sample phone number into their form to continue on from page 2).
2) Or use the JasJar ROM located at ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/../Uploads/Universal/Shipped ROM/JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301/
And if I'm correct, unzip and copy the modified ROM installer (located at ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/../BlueAngel/Tools/) into the folder containing the un-zipped contents of the ROM archive and use MaUpgradeUt_noID to perform the ROM upgrade.
However, I've noticed in the signatures that people have all sorts of different versions of;
a) The OS ROM
b) The extended ROM
c) The radio ROM
I've found out that my Dopod has;
CE Image: 1.13.36
Ext Image: 1.13.134
Radio: 1.04.02
And that the Jasjar ROM image (JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301 - which has a filename of JASJAR WWE 11353 137 10402) located on this site is;
CE Image: 1.13.53
Ext Image: 1.13.137
Radio: 1.04.02
I guess the following questions are really targeted towards Australians, since the Jasjar has been available now for a short time and there would be some users downunder, I would like to know;
1) what versions are they running?
2) what provider/plan they are using?
3) what applications are they using (skype, pdf reader etc).
(I noticed on my Dopod, which still has the chinese OS on it, it is installed with KKBox, Pocket MSN, ClearVue PDF, Zip, and Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc).
I do not know what KKBox is. And what's funny is that with the Voice Commander, I happen to know that "saigen" is see-you-later in madarin which stops the Voice Commander application. However I'm not too keen on learning madarin just to run my PDA.
So before I take the plunge and convert to English I would like to get some feedback from locals as to what they are running.
One last point, I got quoted from PDA King in Taiwan (I used a phone card to call) NT$1200 to switch my PDA to English. When I asked them about getting a copy of the OS on CDROM for furture restores I was advised they don't use a CDROM before its burned onto the ROMs. I think they are having me on, considering the talk in these forums, but I'm curious if anyone in Taiwan has had an english conversion done for them by a retailer?

Hi,
I found a Dopod site at www.dopodasia.com that stated "In addition, new ROM can be downloaded in “Member” section if you subscribed as a Dopod member"
The membership registration page is located at http://210.64.124.195/Dopod_en/member/right.aspx
Unforuntately the registration page is rejecting my serial number, I'm at this moment calling them for help to login. In the meantime, has anyone sucessfully logged on, and what ROMs are available?
Regards
Michael
Hi,
The Dopod Asia site seems to have a good FAQ for the Dopod 900
http://210.64.124.195/Dopod/Singapore/En/Support/FAQ/3Gsubnote/?sm=Left1_pro_9_1_1
Regards
Michael
Michael,
Did you manage to register on the Dopod site? My Serial # was accepted but the next page with more detail got stuck on the Account field right after Nickname field. Any idea what you need to enter there?
Thanks for any help yo umight be able to provide. Regards
Hi,
Not yet, we caught them at the end of the business day. They advised us they would reply via email, but we're gunna call again tommorrow morning as a little reminder.
Are you able to paste a screen shot of the next page, that way I can see what's coming up and maybe ask them direct what they need (save me trying to work it out).
Michael
Hi,
I got in, this is what I did...
1) Selected "have not yet purchased" - this takes me directly to the account details page and bypasses the request for a valid serial number.
2) I thought "Account" was something to do with your provider, it isn't it is the name you want to call your membership account. You use the "account" name and "password" to login. So account can be anything.
3) Then you get sent an email confirmation with an activation link, just click the link and login.
I'm in at the moment the only thing I can see that can be downloaded is the user's manual, the "home page" in the member's area says...
Dear Client:
Thank you for purchasing Dopod products. To get the most enjoyment out of the products, we continue to cooperate with domestic and international companies to deliver updated services and downloadable programs for you.
Please click and download the program according to the description of Games or Application Programs. We will constantly provide work-related, modern living, games and other application programs for you. Thank you for your continuing feedback to us!
Dopod International Corp.
...I think I will still call them and ask them about where the ROMs can be downloaded from as stated in this quote, "In addition, new ROM can be downloaded in “Member” section if you subscribed as a Dopod member." and where the applications and games reside (or a timeline of when they are due).
Regards
Michael

First one kkbox is music box same as ipod,only can use in Taiwan others
place are useless.
2nd I don't think PDA king in Taiwan can give you any copy of ROM ,
because Dopod don't have any English ROM , they just flush I-mate
or O2 ROM for you,you can get ROM from here as you mention
before.
3th Dopod Taiwan didn't post any ROM upgrade for Dopod 900, I will try
to login Dopod Asia and post here.
Hi,
I've recieved the following response from Dopod Singapore (www.dopodasia.com). By the way I'm hoping that since the Singapore branch of Dopod is english speaking, that they will have an english version of the Dopod ROM.
Has anyone tried to register as a member with the other dopod sites?
Dear Sir:
1) Is there any difference in between logging in as a member who has purchased to one that has not?
A member who has purchased will see all the contents.
2) Where in the member area can I download the ROMs, which were referred to in this quote, "In addition, new ROM can be downloaded in “Member” section if you subscribed as a Dopod member.", located under the title trouble shooting on page, http://210.64.124.195/Dopod/Singapore/En/Support
Currently we don’t have any new ROMs for Dopod 838 and 900. if we release a ROM code, you will see it.
3) Where in the member area can I download the applications and games, which were referred to in this quote, "Please click and download the program according to the description of Games or Application Programs." located on the member home page, on page, http://210.64.124.195/Dopod_en/default.aspx
We will keep putting applications, games and ROM codes on our web site, if there any news will send a e-mail to u.

Hi to all,
I purchased my XDA while in Hong Kong, however I live in Australia and I am having trouble obtaining the updated Rom installation file for my XDA IIs. The Rom installed is the English ROM version 1.12.62 WWE, ExtRom version 1.12.924.
I have noticed that on the internet there are later updated versions of ROM floating around, I even downloaded on from the Europe web site http://www.msmobiles.com/news.php/3626.html Xda_IIs_v131139_upgrade.exe (38,770 Kb) but when I tried to run it the installer said that My unit was not from Europe and stoped the install. BTW the direct site is http://www.sourceo2.com/O2_Developers/Devices/O2_Xda_II/XdaIIs_launchROM.htm
I then found an Asian ROM Update here http://www.mtekk.com.au/browse/page718.html, looks great, nice instructions, and a new version, this page sends me to another web site http://www.seeo2.com/ where when I try to log in it asks for an IMEI code and then refuses to register saying this code is not for our region, but I solved that.
At this site http://www.seeo2.com/ you need to register prior to downloading, and this needs an IMEI code that matches their product, after I went to the Hong Kong part of that site I could register with my code and download, but there was no updated ROM at that site, only the updated Bluetooth driver build 3500 (Which was a big step up version wise for me anyway so I installed that fine)
It still has not solved all of my power issues, and this is an add-in that needs to be re-installed each time I reset so I am looking still looking for an updated ROM.
I hope someone out there can provide a link that points to the place I can download the Asian ROM software that works.
Justin.
O2 XDA IIs is known as Blue Angel.
Hello again.
Thought I would update my post and dispel the thought that I am an expert in this field. The O2 XDA IIs device that I purchased is also marketed as many other brand names, no surprise here, but this site has a heap of info about it under the name Blue Angel. (I think either the site was recently updated to show photos, or my PC magically started showing them today) this led me to click on the Blue Angel link.
So for all that follow down the same road as myself, check this out first.

Hello Everyone,
I just joined this forum as i was able to buy a QTEk with the following details:
Version de ROM : 1.13.74 ESN
Version de Movil : 1.04.02
Version Protocolo : 42.37.P8
Version de ExtROM : 1.13.169 ESN
As I am more fluent in English than Spanish, I wanted to upgrade my ROM to English, but also I would need to Backup the ROM of the spanish version so if there are problems with the phone, I can flash it back to the original manufacturer installed ROM.
What program do I need to Backup the ROM (and restore in the future) before I start fiddling?
Also, I heard that I can erase Extended ROM. As of now, what can I use the space that I will gain from erasing the contents of the Extended ROM?
Also one thing i noticed is that some of the keys have rub marks coming from the upper part of the universal (the screen) I think they touch eachother when it is colsed. Is this a factory defect?
Finally, I don't know where to register and get support for my QTEK. Where do you download/search for patches? Where do I register this device? Should I have gotten an i-mate instead?
Thanks in advance for all your comments, guys.
Jorge
GUYS?!?
Hello Anybody out there?
I have posted this message 2 weeks ago, a few views but no answers so I'll go ahead and update you on what's happened:
Thanks to BUZZ_LIGHTYEAR I was able to RAW DUMP my Spanish ROM to a File which I exchanged for a decoded nk.nbf file from an unpacked English ROM Update (the QTEK WWE) then I encoded the RAW file so now I have a new nk.nbf file which i pressume is the Spanish verion.
I'm not sure if it'll make a difference that the rest of the files are in English but will this update any UNIVERSAL to the Spanish verion? Anybody needs Spanish ROM and is willing to test this out? I can send you the Files needed? If it doesn't work you just have to flash back to the English. I haven't tested it yet because my device is originally Spanish so I have no fallback ROM if it doesn't work. But I followed BUZZ's instructions and I don't think it's gonna cause a problem.
Hmm,
seems this topic is very boring to everybody here, oh well....
Anybody has similar case of rubbed-out keys on the keyboard?
Just to show that there are persons available reading and having an opinion
Left and right of my keyboard, a little lower then the keys itself there are two outstanding rubber ? pads ? protecting the display from touching the keyboard, be it in portrait or landscape mode. So no, I do not have this problem.
Ruud
Mine have the rubber stuff too, Maybe i have them a little low... Could I possibly get a replacement? I don't think this can be considered wear-and-tear as i only had my phone for 1 month..... And the "damage" was caused by open/closing of the phone. Not using of the keyboard.
I would say certainly worth a try.
Good luck.
Ruud
i need spanish rom
I bought my qtek 9000 from O2 (UK) by ebay, it works great, but i need spanish software, i'd like to probe MoviStar, vodafone (if available) and free Spanish versions. I also need instructions or manual, i flashed a xda2 once, but i can't remember how i did, i think i put it in a special test mode. Thanks.
I have posted the QTEK Spanish ROM in the uploads section. Please look for it. Both OS and Extended ROM are there.
Just download the OS, and run the "noID" file to upgrade your QTEK to Spanish. Just remember that also the keyboard will be configured to Spanish (which has the "Ñ" character) so you have to re-map it back to whatever keyboard you have. You can search how to do this in the forums.
Just download the 2 said files, then you can upgrade your ROM. These ROM's are dated OCTOBER 2005
what do i need for backuping my system to a sdcard?
Im not sure. I backed-up to my PC. I think you can search here for grab_it program that dumps to SD card but i'm not sure it will work for WM5 or Universal
Well, how did you backup system to your pc?
and thanks again.
Actually, what i backed up was my OS nad ExtendedROM. No personal customizations.
You can see in my second post that i was able to do it thru steps i saw at BUZZDEV.NET thanks to buzz-lightyear.
It's under "how to d2s dump" you can follow my story there on how to backup ROM. Esentially it copies your operating system to a file on your PC which you can then install on another device after encoding/decoding.
I have posted my Spanish QTEK ROM on the FTP site so you can change your QTEK to spanish if you want.
What's your QTEK ROM version? all details please:
ROM Version
ROM Date
Protocol Version
Radio Version
Extended ROM Version
What's your QTEK ROM version? all details please:

It is not a shipping ROM but you need 2 files:

QTEK Spanish ROM (1.13.74 ESN).rar --- This is the OS ROM
2nd: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/
QTEK ExtendedROM.rar --- this is the Extended ROM
i have the spanish extended rom, but the jasjar don´t reconice ?¿

You have to install first the QTEK OS ROM then copy the Extended ROM after. Where in Spain do you live?
You can call me if you need more help. But i speak English, my Spanish is MIERDA

I have a german T-Mobile MDA Pro with the official T-Mobile AKU 2.0 from May 2006. Is there any stable upgrade I could apply to my MDA? Maybe T-Mobile released something officially? I read that there are already Windows Mobile 5 AKU 3.0 and later floating floating around for other brands? Where is the one for MDA Pro?

I am currently using the Helmi’s AKU 3.5. If you are new in ROM upgrades, you may choose the Helmi’s AKU 3.3 which is more reliable.
Bdw. MDA PRO is base on HTC Universal (that is the production name)

Agree.
Me using Helmi_c Aku3.5 v1.3 too. Performance is great except no speedial!
Also think Helmi_c Aku3.3 v1.2 is the best ROM so far except for not having Windows Live.
Works better with Radio 1.14.10, but depend of your network provider.
What is Radio 1.14.10 ?
And what do you mean with Windows Live? Does some Microsoft AKU contain already some windows live services that where promised for "crossbow" (WM6.0)? What are those? Or is this some ugly homwbrew hack?

Helmi_c Aku3.3 v1.2 works better with "Radio ROM" ? Can you explain what a radio ROM is for (as opposed to a normal ROM such as Helmi's ROM" ?

I suggest you go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286036 and download the Helmi aku3.5 v1.3. -Its very reliable and considerably faster than what you will have installed already. I strongly recommend that you back up to MS OUTLOOK before updating if you dont wish to lose your calander events or contacts.
To answer your question, the so-called 'Radio ROM' is actually an update of the mobile phone (aka radio) firmware. Helmi's package includes a previous radio firmware version which is fine. The package also includes the latest available firmware upgrade (or AKU) of the Windows Mobile 5 operating system. This firmware upgrade of the OS is not yet officially released by MS, but has leaked and has since been tweaked by such jolly fine chaps as Helmi.
By the way, you'll be quite confused by the mixed use of ROM, extended ROM, hard/cold boot, etc (eg. everyone knows that ROM = 'Read Only Memory' and that the AKU and RADIO upgrades are actually written to EEPROM or equivalent memory type). Dont worry too much about it though, the lingua franca grows on you and the support from the community is excellent
Go ahead and try to update your universal after backing it up.
Your next post should be either "WOW, thats much better!!" or "CRAP, how do I get the damned thing to update??!!"
before I actually go for an upgrade I still have some worries:
1. won't I loose the german language on my phone (keyboard, äöü, T9, UI Language) ?
2. on some screenshots I have seen a "3G" Icon, but in germany it is UMTS and I want to keep the U Icon
3. When upgrading the Radio ROM, will everything still work fine with the operator T-Mobile such as MobileTV, streaming, MMS, Videophonie or this automatic image compression service offered by t-mobile germany (automatically compresses all images on websites to save traffic).
Just to make you feel safe, you can go to your T-Mobile website, download your current ROM from there.
So even how good the new ROM is, if you do not like it, flash back the old one.
can anybody answer my 3 questions ?

There is NO official AKU 3 out yet for the Universal. I don't think there will ever be. ALL the AKU 3 you see here are made by members and any Universal device can use them.

bitbonk,
As mentioned there is no official AKU 3.X for Universal.
AKU 3.X ROM’s that you find here are tailored to functionality by some brilliant guys in this forum. Indeed those are generally in English.
However if you choose to use them you will lose your German language but you may able to find batches that allows you to reconfigure. I do also believe your specific T-mobile related functionality will be lost.
in case your decide to give a try for one this available ROM’s then as CWKJ has suggested you can download you current original ROM from T-Mobil for back up
However please take NOTE this forum is for guys they like to test and develop.
I think I am using my universal more for upgrading and testing some ROM’s rather for daily usage. Therefore if you decide start to use one of this ROM’s be prepared to be infected with “XDA developers Virus”. This Virus is not infecting your device but its effecting you live
This will lead you spending most of your free time in this forum and on your device.
Instead bringing news paper to “rest room” you will bring your Universal.
If anyone tries to call you on your device, they will be not able to contact you as device docked on your computer for ROM upgrade or trying any reg. code.
Your Girlfriend/wife will start to complain: “I wish you would love me same as you loving your Universal”
So bro think carefully on what you decide :0)
LOL !!! ...
Good one.
I am trying to get my other half to be infected too.
Read somewhere in this forum, cannot remember which thread, a guy say his girlfriend complaint that he is doing too much ROM. Some other guys in this forum suggest him to give his girlfiend some RAM before continue with his ROM.
LOL !!! ...
So much of joke aside.
This are all self cooked ROMs. Our hardware maker for $ making seek unlikely to give any of us any update (only once in April 06).
1. You will lose the German Language as this is a WWE (World Wide English) ROM. But you can make a search in this forum for a forumer by name Asukal who is an expert in language. You should find some language patch (for read & write) to make up for the missing German Language.
2. "3G" is a "display only bug" in the Aku3.x which should be "U" for Voice service. For Web browsing service or Video, etc, instead seeing "U", you see "G" (a bug too).
3. UMTS/3G using this ROM with Radio image (any version, but latest official T-Mobile is version 1.13.00 and some test version 1.14.10 which seems to work pretty well with this Helmi_c Aku3.5 V1.3) have no problem with Voice Call, SMS, MMS, Video Call, Web browsing, etc. Other T-Mobile specific service (MobileTV, streaming, image compression), I think it should be in your Extended Rom, not Radio. You can just flash nk.nbf (Aku part) and Radio_.nbf (radio part) and do not flash the ms_.nbf (extended rom part).
Lastly, only after flashing, you will get all your questions answer until the day you try it.
Before flashing, backup your T-Mobile splash screen (if any) because splash screen of Helmi's ROM is O2, Indra's is imate, the other 2 I have not tried.
Remember to use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe, (do not use ROMUpgradeUt.exe), to flash.
Good luck.
thank you for your help.
So maybe there is a e preconfigured ROM/radio upgrade (AKU 3.x) with german language floating around that is known to work well with german t-mobile ? Any german t-mobilers around here?
Why not go into the helmi thread and ask if someone has a compatible german language patch? You can probably set up the T Mobile stuff manually....

My company got some phones to send to the people in China and I'm having some problems getting this Phone to install Windows Mobile 6 Chinese version. I was wonder if anyone could help me out. Here's where I'm at
Microsoft said the vendor HTC doesn't support it but this ROM should work.
Link To Rom:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Available Original Shipped WM6 ROM Versions
(I'm using the one that says Chinese Version (CHT))
This is what they sent. Well I've tried using this ROM and I'm getting an 264 Error (I can't read the rest cause its in chinese but it seems from doing some research that it says it can't connect to the Device.) Even though i have it plug in with a USB cable and its at the tri-color screen and says USB.
The Tri-Color Screen Says
Herm200
IPL-1.00
Herm200
SPL-1.10
MS internal use only (side note these were donated from Microsoft)
I've done the HERM_Unlock_v2a and it said success also did the Radio part no problem there either but I still got the same 264 error.
This is for a very very good cause and if I could get some help I'd be really thankful.
Also a stick would be nice
I'm a Chinese user from Hong Kong and I'll try my best to help you out. Just curious, which part of China are you sending the Hermes devices to? Only Hong Kong people use Traditional Chinese, the rest of China use Simplified Chinese.
Are you flashing it with Windows XP or Windows Vista? Have you tried flashing from a microSD card? What are the devices branded as? HTC TyTN, Dopod 838pro, Softbank X01HT or something else? Did you flash HardSPL onto them before flashing the ROM you want?

They are going to the CDC in China. I flashed them with HardSPL and managed to get the ROM to load. Is there a keyboard I can load to them if they want to type in Simplified? Other then CE-Star of course. Looking for something free. Or do you have a ROM that has simplified on it? I contacted microsoft and they said they didn't have it which I found strange the ROM i linked from earlier is the only one they know about. 10 bucks says I wasn't talking to the right person that would know.
The guys down here in Atlanta said that most people and China can read Traditional just most can't type it. So if I can find a keyboard to load on all these phones we should be okay. Sorry its taking me so long to respond I've been loading phones for 2 or 3 days now
Oh and its Windows Mobile 6 and HTCs

Other then CE-Star of course. Looking for something free. Or do you have a ROM that has simplified on it? I contacted microsoft and they said they didn't have it which I found strange the ROM i linked from earlier is the only one they know about. 10 bucks says I wasn't talking to the right person that would know.
The guys down here in Atlanta said that most people and China can read Traditional just most can't type it. So if I can find a keyboard to load on all these phones we should be okay. Sorry its taking me so long to respond I've been loading phones for 2 or 3 days now
Oh and its Windows Mobile 6 and HTCs

In case you flashed CHT Rom, I suspect, simplified Chinese character set is not loaded at all. No matter what keyboard you use no way to show simplified characters, respectively the typing will be for traditional only.
There is a MS SIP for Chinese characters, but honestly I found it not that good as CE-Star. Dont have a link but believe you can find it on MS sites
There is another SIP named PlumSIP, which I use, but only the version for hardware keyboard. I found it very convenient. Search google and sure will find a link to dev page.
btw, I use english Rom with installed Chinese characters support - works very well for me - no probs with text, e-mails and surfing internet
If you can read chinese. go to this forum http://bbs.xbeta.cn there's a chinese rom for the hermes and has chinese read/write capability.
In this case, I suggest you go to the most popular PDA forum in the main land of China and the web site is bbs.pdafans.com. You can find all kinds of CHS roms for Hermes and most of them are very good.
I'm in China main land and I'm using Hermes as well, but I'm running WWE rom on my hermes as I prefer to official rom's I just replace the original file wince.nls with another one which Chinese is supported with and add Chinese fonts and tweak registry. As a result of all what I do, simply Chinese is supported very well in a WWE rom.
I'm hoping this helps.
I believe this is what you need. I think you need to register to view the post.

Hi, can you go into a little more detail about which replacement wince.nls you use and the other mods you do to increase your CHinese support? I currently run a wwe ROM with chinese fonts and input added by cab files (CE-Star sucks but it's all there is and I have no idea why there is nothing better when the market for something as good as the vista Chinese IME would be HUGE)
thanks!

I'm a Traditional Chinese user so I can't help you with Simplified Chinese input right now.
I use WWE ROMs on my X01HT, replaced the wince.nls, installed "CHT_IME_QVGA_F.cab" ripped from a official ROM for Traditional Chinese input (Chu on/Changjie keyboard input, Handwriting recognition) and a 14MB Microsoft JhengHei Bold font. Now it is capable of writing Traditional Chinese and viewing both Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

Hey, I'm not sure if you have got this issue resolved. Here the following is what I usually do after a hard reset or flashing a new WWE ROM.
1. Replace with the original wince.nls file in \windows wiuth the one attached below. You can do this with resco file explorer or other app.
2.Copy the Chinese font file to \windows.
http://rapidshare.com/files/121391687/msyh.ttf
3.Implement a registry import for the fonts as attached file Reg Fonts.zip to get a good look.
4.Tweak the registry as following:
add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\FontLinkMethods=1(string)
Then Chinese performs perfect in a WWE ROM. And also you can choose Chinese PRC in Regional Setting page.

You should see the /windows folder with a file explorer, either the one in the ROM or the well known resco file explorer. But maybe you can not find the file wince.nls as it's hidden by default. You can unhidden all files with resco file explorer and then you can see it. Antually you don't need to see this file. Just put the wince.nls attached in /windows folder and press OK to replace the original file.
Hi folks,
I am looking for an WM6.0 (not 6.1) GER rom file for the HTC S620. I remember there was one in the WM6-upgrade guide that was posted here but seems to be deleted. So if anyone has a copy of that file I would appreciate getting a link or contact.
thx in advance
as far as i remember, it was available for free from HTC-website. Just register your htc, and there it is.
See: http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=2&cat=2&dl_id=15
if link doesnt work: go to htc.com, register your device, login and then you have in "Support" to select the S620, and scroll down to the windows mobile 6 upgrade. (it seems you have to re-enter your product serial no.)
Thanks for the link, but it doesn´t work anymore.
