Sorry guys i'm new to this, i have an O2 xda11s what will installing the extended rom do and how do i do it.
Thanks in advance

OK, I am either old, stupid...or both??
OK, folks, I am scared of a lot of this, I guess because I don't understand it yet...I dl'ed hte Siemens file, unzipped it, now what....??
I see a file called AUTORUN, should I double click that file, and pray like anything??
I guess the simple word here is "HELP!!!!" :shock:
Thanks in advance for everybody's assistance!!
Tom

The Extended ROM is just a collection of applications and patches that the provider included with the phone... for instance, the O2 Ext. ROM includes a PDF/Power point viewer .cab in theirs that I-Mate doesn't include with the PDA2k Ext. ROM. The naming convention of these .cabs makes it semi-difficult to find out what each .cab does without testing it. To install a .cab, simply copy it over to your phone, browse to its location and tap on it. I would recommend doing a backup, as you can't really uninstall a lot of these .cabs.

Does anyone know of any updates posted anywhere for the Orange version of the Blueangel - the SPV M2000? Either on the Orange website or elsewhere?
Thanks!

XDA For Dummies?
Here is the problem I have...there is a LOT of info here, for which I am VERY grateful; but there seems to be an assumption that everyone here knows all this stuff already. And I will be the first to admit, I DON'T!!!
I have the updated extended rom files, and I am being told to put them on the handheld, and run the cab files. Well, the updated rom files contain more than cab files! Where do I put htem, and which ones where?
Is there a "XDA FOR DUMMIES" guide somewhere? I would really like to update my unit, but I don't understand WHERE the files need to go...
Here is the file list from the SX66 Update:
AddContacts.exe
AutoRun.exe
BA_Album_WWE.CAB
Button.CAB
CallerID.CAB
Cin_inbox_ap.CAB
Cingularsplash.cab
Cingularcustomize.cab
Config.txt
Enable_GPRS.CAB
getmail.CAB
JAVA_WWE.CAB
MEdiaNet.CAB
MIDI561.CAB
MMS_WWE.CAB
RestartRadio.exe
StartServices.CAB
TPDisable.exe
TPEnable.exe
version.CAB
WLANPatch.CAB
Exactly where do I put them, how do I put them there, and how do I do the update?
Please forgive me for being a bit obtuse, but I was not born knowing all this stuff , and I cannot find the info anywhere! IS THERE A STEP BY STEP GUIDE FOR DOING THIS KIND OF THING?
Hell, I would make a $25 USD donatin to the forum if we could get some kind of "dummies guide"...
Many thanks for your time, and I hope, some assistance!
Tom

I forgot...
Oops, I forgot...HOW do I back up this "extended rom" so if there is a problem, I can return to the previous state? Can that be done...how?
Enquiring minds really want to know!!
Tom

No clue............
I don't get how to install these either.
The custom 9th button assignment one is cool! (for the "E" button the bottom of the keyboard)
Most of these CAB files complain that it's not in ROM in \Windows etc (yes/no/cancel)
How do we allow the CAB files to write to protected ROM?
I've searched this forum and cant find a description on these extended roms either. It's not fun to install stuff in trial and error mode. (anyone care to give a quick breakdown or add a text file to the zip file?)

For a better understanding of extenedrom read:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13072
NOTE this is about a XDAII and **YOU** are in the Blueangel forum !!!!!
Siemens has a WLAN Patch in its uploaded extened rom,
Anybody know what it is ??
(yes I know its a Wlan Patch have other operators used it)

If you are talking to ME...
I have a SX66, which IS a Blue Angel!
Take care!

i-mate PDA2K WWE is blueangel isnt it? I still dont quite understand how to load the rom upgrades that complain about read only rom over-write errors.

Extended ROMs for Dummies (The books,so no insults intended)
Aloha
Maybe I am feeling sorry for all of the new people who have been lucky enough to stumble onto this site. This site started as a developer site as we took apart the early HTC products to see what made them tick. Here is a quick overview of the extended rom.
Your phone is made up of three rom files. (radio, OS, and extended) The OS and radio ROMs make up the guts of the phone, but the extended ROM is where your provider or reseller (Cingular, O2,T-mobile, Imate) places custom software that differentiates themselves.
This extended rom contains a number of CAB files that usually auto install after a hard reset. You can see them by searching for the Extended_rom unlock tool on this site. Once you unlock this area of your device, you will see a new Extended_storage area. Place the files you like from the downloaded roms. There are great features to pick and choose from such as modified phone applications, ring tones, PDF and PPS viewers ect.
You can click on any of the cabs or modify the config.txt to install the programs. Since many of the programs are similar and probably already installed, you may get an error about the file being locked in ROM.
I hope this helps.

German QTEK ROM ready for download!

After an 12 hour odyssey with the new t-mobile rom (1.20...), I finally decided to switch back to my original german qtek rom. Unfortunately I didn't dumped my original one - so I've called a friend who owns a qtek 9000 too. I was lucky - tomorrow he's going to sale it on ebay...
I could dump the qtek rom, encode it and load it onto my own. There is just one problem: the original install app will not work. You have to use the noID-version. Don't worry if the routine fails - try again.
The worst case: the qtek gets in bootloader mode - good for you. The rom updating will work seamless now. If you get stuck into that bootloader mode, just remove the "ms_.nbf" & "nk.nbf" and perform only the radio update again - after a hardreset the good old gtek splash screen will show up and you'll be fine or lets just say: welcome to your new mda pro without any branding stuff (you'll love the dialer skin!)
That package contains the latest radio rom from the mda pro rom update!

Support this ROM combination A2DP?

THANKS A LOT!
I was waiting for this many weeks...

I'm just wondering: what was wrong with your TMo ROM (the new one) ?
I use it since now more than a week and I am very satisfied with it.
Had QTEK ROM, O2 ROM, i-mate ROM before.

available RAM with various ROMs
Hi,
I just wonder if e.g. the qtek rom leaves more RAM? I am desperately looking for more RAM, there is never enough. I have the new t-mobile rom, it is much more stable than the old one, but the RAM situation has not changed. I have 1800 contacts, and when I reset the MDA Pro I will start with roughly 15 MB, very soon they will be down to 10 (once the mail has been checked) and from then on...I cannot make a video call, I can hardly use the camera, I can just about open a web page and than I am down to 2....I don't know why other people have no problems with this, but for me....I need 20-30 MB more...
Is there a solution to this? Is at least qtek rom a bit more generous?

Looks like that link is broken. I can't open it. It shows permission denied. Where else can i get german ROM update. Or Russian.

@ hrb
its pretty simple: i hate that t-mobile dialer. and there was no way to get rid of it. so i switched back.

Can I use a Qtek rom on a IMATE jasjar?
I have this imate jasjar in english and i want it in spanish. The only rom i saw was for qtek.
Thanks a lot guys!

agustinpac: yes, it is possible.
e.g. I installed qtek on t-mobile..
what you need is the MANoID installer that will make that the device is not going to check if the upgrade is "legitimate" or not.
If you have an extracted complete set of installation files in one directory
you just exchange the original installer with this NoID installer that a very proficient member of this forum wrote.
and then you should put the device in bootloader mode by makin a reset while pressing the light button and the power button together, then connect to the pc and start the installation by launching the noid installer.
after 20 min you are done. by the way: this way you can mix also rom, ext rom and radio versions from different origin and release version.
I hope this helps, if not, let me know.

Hello agustinpac,
I was the one who uploaded the QTEK spanish ROM as this was the ROM installed in my device, but i needed an english one. I'm now using the JASJAR and i think the O2 is better but have no time to flash back to O2. Or maybe wait for the new ROMS which are esupposed to be out next moth at latest. Never tried T-Mobile.
There are 2 QTEK spanish files. one is the rom update which updates ROM and Radio, and the other is the extended ROM which you have to install manually. To do this, Unlock ExtROM( search how to do this). Extract Extended ROM Zip file to a directory in your SD card. Then use Total commander and copy these files to the extended_rom partition. Hard Reset. This should do it.
Contact me if you need more help. Also, if you install this ROM, your hardware keyboard will be Spanish, meaning "Ñ" is one of the keys on the keyboard (under the K key) and also other keys will be remapped. If you need to remap the hardware keyboard to english, tell me also. The software keyboard will display and work as a spanish keyboard so no problems with this one.
Goodluck

"Best" rom for English Universal?

I've got a SPV M5000 which is SimUnlocked and SuperCID. It's currently running the stock Orange firmware (radio 1.03 and rom 1.30.90). Could someone tell me the best rom (or combination of roms). I'm looking for stability more than speed - the WLAN functionality at the moment is terrible!
Thx
peteS

Try the latest O2 ROM. But, delete the ms_.nbf(responsible for extended rom stuff) file before upgrading. It ll upgrade your radio to 1.09 and rom to 1.30.107. WIFI is rock solid on it

Cool - thx. I'll give that one a try. On a related subject, is it best to stick with the Orange extended rom or use a more generic one, like iMate or qtek. When I cold boot with the Orange rom it runs a load of Orange specific fixes etc - I assume these are in the extended rom - but would these apply to the later O2 rom as well - might it not get mixed up?

You should upgrade the O2 rom with the ms_.nbf and then customize it.
Remove some of the cabs, and voila you have a free rom .
I would not recommend using the orange extrom, since it is for the orange rom.

If you take a quick glance at the extended rom of O2, there is nothing spl that O2 installs(other than its bloatware). There is no significant software too(unlike imate ROMs which have clearvue PDF and stuff).
So, my suggestion is to unlock the extented rom and use the 10mb for installing useful apps

Thats probably one of the best things to do with it. But:
One or two cabs are really needed: 1 for Voicetags, 1 for MP3 Ringtones, and so on. So you should select wisely.

why not ? there are lots of roms out there, check the wiki-pages
Choose your favourite, don't forget to run USPL before flashing and there should be no problem
....and please don't ask which rom is the best one - there are lots of threads about that and imo it's inadequate the say which one is the best.
All the cooks are trying to create great roms - it's up to you which one you like the most....

Yes you can upgrade or degrade
You can always upgrade to WM6 and downgrade to WM5 if you intend to change later. I have done it before many time installed different ROM's.
You only need to run USPL before any new ROM install.

I did this myself just the other day. You can get the official ROM from here for the UK XDA Orbit.

This one does'nt need USPL since it is the official ROM.

I think I'm going to go this route. That site says I need Activesync 4.5 - however I'm on Vista and using the Sync Centre application - will this do?

Have a look at this thread Anjow
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317589&highlight=vista
I think it has everything you need.

Thanks. Given how complex that looks I think I'll just use my XP machine to do it.
Am I right in thinking that upgrading like this will hard reset the device? That I'll need to reinstall all my programs and reinstate my appointments/contacts etc.? If so, can I create an SPB self-extracting backup on WM5 then run it on WM6 to get my config back?

I know there are lots of ROMs out there but I was just careful and used the standard O2 release:
http://xda.o2.co.uk/xdaOrbitSoftware.html
And yes, it clears out your machine unless you have installed the software on the SD card in which case it just gets confused.
But it is worth it.

Odd, that site won't accept my serial number... I have tried many different combinations of what it could be (swapping 0 for O etc.) but it keeps telling me it isn't valid.

Just use the link I provided, it is the same ROM. Using the other link you have to make sure that you use Internet Explorer, other brwsers don't work.

Will do then, cheers.

slow downloads
could someone please up the official O2 UK WM6 ROM for me please?
i've tried downloading from the aforementioned official websites. it starts out at a fine speed, then gets slower and slower until it eventually times out.
really want to upgrade, so if someone could upload the official rom to megaupload/rapidshare i would be much appreciative.
thanks

Here you go, fortunatly I still had it on my HD from when I upgraded mine.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WOEXBYKO

thanks!
cheers for that much appreciated. however it seemed to download fine this time, but i'll get urs as a back up too!
this is the official ROM right?
thanks again

Yes it is the official ROM, I got it from the link I posted earlier in the thread.

NEED Windows 6.1 rom for my HTC touch pro 2

HI All
on 20th july 2010, i bought new HTC touch pro 2. Being an outdated one, this model is one of mine favorites. After one day of purchase i tried to update my phone to windows 6.5 on HTC website but i was not able to do so because this the the phone was intended to be sold in netherland and not in Singapore. This statement was told to me by HTC customer care, then i called the seller and asked that what should i do. They didnt admit that they cheated on me and they advice me to download windows 6.5 from Netherlands website and i followed their instructions. When the update was finished the language of the phone was turned out to be in Dutch. I asked for help from the seller but they told to pay them exta sum to 50 dollars to restore or to install windows 6.1. I even contacted HTC customer care but they didnt help me out.
So guys, if anyone of you have orginal window 6.1 or orignal window 6.5 then please give the link to download the same. I am in a fix right now. I made a bad purchase and right now my money is on stake.
Please help me
Right now i am in Singapore.

If you want to go down the custom rom route, you should use hardspl to unlock your phone (instructions can be found in this rom development section) and then flash any rom you want. There's quite a few choices so you might want to try a few.

Yes, go to flashing your first GSM Rhodium topic and then choose a ROM.
If you're outdated (like me... ) I recommend a stock 6.1 rom, which I just love. I donno if you're staying in Singapur or not, then choose an Asia ROM.

Right now, it sounds like you're limited to Dutch ROMs, since that's where your phone was designed to be used. But as others have said, if you install HardSPL on your phone (see the sticky posting about it), then you will be able to choose from *any* official ROMs (either from HTC or from carriers) for the GSM Touch Pro 2, or any of the custom ROMs on this site.
So put on HardSPL, then it should be easy to get a ROM to meet your needs.

Not sure about language but I highly recommend McCune's Cosmik Debris Rom. FASTEST WM6.1 ROM and flawless. It doesn't come with any today plugins except the basic ones so you can install whatever you want (I installed sense 2.1 and it's fast as hell).
Once you try this one, you won't care to try any other ones . Just be sure to download the Connection Setup from somewhere (on the 2nd or 3rd post of the thread).

I think that hard spl is installed in the phone, because when i bought this phone it was loaded with windows 6.1 (english) after i update it to windows 6.5, i stucked up with dutch language.

I doubt it, it's probably just that you loaded a ROM that was compatible with your specific phone - i.e. if it's a Dutch TP2, then you'll be able to load Dutch official ROMs (but nothing else).
To check, you can put your phone into the bootloader and it will tell you the SPL version (don't worry, this won't harm your phone). Hold down the "Volume Down" button on the side, and press the reset button (and keep holding Volume Down). The phone will come up with a tri-coloured screen and a load of text. In there will be the SPL version, it will be something like 0.79, or 0.84, etc.

HARD-Spl
HARD SPLing your phone will void your guarantee, but you shouldn't worry about it.
Go to the noob session, HARD SPL is an exe, will "open" your phone in 2-3 minutes.
Then, you can flash any rom.
I do not know, if you need an asia rom just because you stay in asia.
Maybe not.
I use 6.1 stock rom, also called shipped rom.
Or just choose any.
