(confused) Newbie questions - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading

I did check the wiki and did a search but it only confused me more.
I've had my XDA Exec around 7 or 8 months now I think, and I just updated it to 2.00.02 WWE.
Radio ROM: Should I update my current 1.09.00? If so, which is the latest or best? The Wiki said 1.13.00 was the latest however I have noticed some 1.14.xx in some people sigs. Is it worth updating?
Ext ROM: What is this? Currently do not have an ExtROM according to Device Information. Which one should I choose if any?
Protocol: 42.42.P8 is that good to stay with? Can it be updated? If so, again, help.
Like I said, I did search but only to confuse myself more and not come up with any answers. I couldn't find any info which really helped me.
Also, a side note, anyone know the settings for O2 (UK) GPRS/3G? The 2.00.02 WWE update lost them and stupid me never wrote them down. Admitedly I haven't checked O2's site but that is my next port of call, I just thought I would throw this out here too while I'm posting.

rom update

I'am new to all this and was wondering if its worth updating my XDA IIs these are the settings
Rom Version 1.31.00 WWE
Rom date 12/13/04
Radio Version 1.06.00
protocol version 1337.38
ExRpm Version 1.31.139 WWE
Could anyone let me know if there are any benefits, also how easy is it to update, ie can anyone explain in basic terms as I have never done this sort of thing before, also if it all went wrong what would be the worst case senario.
Is there a simple program that does all updates?
Thanks in advance
Hi Popupstands
I upgraded mine a few weeks ago from the O2 ROM like yours to the config detailed below. Have found that this ROM is a bit more stable and has better control over wi fi switching than my old one. still have the same old bluetooth connection problems. You will also have to modify the below EXTENDED ROM to replace the caller ID file with an older version to avoid GPRS disconnect problems...
before you do anything, you should read ALL the INFO at following wiki link
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel
On a practical note, if you are reasonably happy with the stabilty of your device then the upgrade may not be worth it for you. I believe the official O2 rom update is imminent, so you may want to wait for that..
Hope that helps
Regards
Chris

Overhaul XDA2i - Any suggestions ?

Hi Guys !
I've been going through this forum since I got my XDA2i a couple of months ago. I have the following config :
ROM 1.10.00WWE
ROM Date 12/24/2004
Radio Version 1.00.00
Protocol Version 1337.39
ExtROM Version 1.10.124 WWE
Model No PH10C
I wanted to know if there is a possibility of better versions of these, even if they are of other models/manufacturers, to be put together on 1 XDA2i and make it work like one helluva machine ?
Can you recommend / attach the files to this question and tell me a little more about it as I am a non techie !
cheers
Prattz
you can get the new rom version off the o2 website .just follow the links
My extrom is blank should there be something there ?- it seems to work ok.
Guys,
Thanks for the inputs, the reason I have put the question up is that I have seen people having higher versions of the various stuff. They've got ROm from somewhere and Radio stack from somewhere else etc.
1. I wanted to use your expertise in creating an all powerful tool.
2. Add Blackberry functionality as was advertised earlier by O2, what
a let down now that they've removed all mentions of the blackberry.
Would really appreciate help in this regard.
cheers

There are two upgrades i know of ... one is the new I-mate upgrade, which came before the O2 one and has a newer Radio version .
BUT
the newest upgrade is the O2 upgrade, even though it doesnt have an upgraded radio.
A solution is to use the Rom "pug" posted, which uses the O2 upgrade but also includes the i-mate radio version.
You get the latest, and best of each so .... heres the link ... ftp://xdaupload:[email protected] XDA_IIi_Upgrade_v1.11.162 Radio_1.3.rar
I suggest you read through this 3 page thread first though as it will give you all the advice you need.

New owner help required

PS why cant I send anything via BT except files and why does it switch off after exiting TT?
Thanks again
Sorry to say this but you need to read wiki.
Don't be Scared
Hi There..
As MDAIIIUser states, read Wiki.. (The link is posted in the top LH corner of all windows on this site..)
Once there, Follow the required instructions..
I have to say, if you feel like you need to post such questions then perhaps you shouldn't be thinking of upgrading your MDA3..
ie, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! :lol:
Also, I recommend doing searches on items before requesting help as you'll find that someone has probably asked the question before and someone such as MDAIIIUser has come up with the answer.
Hope this helps..?

Upgrade Advice Please

hey guys
this is my first post here so i just wanna say how much information i have learned from this site and the forums. and i haved used the search function but after hours came up with nothing.
I have a MDA PRO Running the latest T-Mobile Rom, but its causing me so many problems.
It Takes forever to answer a call(around 10 secconds after ive pressed answer) it takes ages to open any applications. its just slow.
i was running the Imate rom before and was really happy with it. but there are some features that have come in the new t-moibile rom that i would like to keep such as the green battery icon and the "Soft Key" Application.
So i was thinking of only upgrading the extrom and the radio.
My current config is:
ROM VER : 1.30.114 WWE
Rom Date: 04/13/06
Radio : 1.10.03
Protocol Ver: 42.44.p8
EXT ROM VER : 1.30.232 WWE
I was looking to upgrade to either the QTEK or the IMATE rom b ut i wanted to know if ill still have the green abttery indicator and "soft Key" application as im not sure if they come with the rom or the OS. if not can anyone tell me where i can get them from plz.
Also alot of ppl are saying that radio 1.09 is the most stable, can anyone confirm this please.
Cheers guys
You will not get those features with the currently available Qtek or i-mate WWE.
I do however, have a suspicion (my spidey sense is tingling) that there will be new ROMs from within the next month and a half.
In the meantime, feel free to cook up your own. :lol:

Newbie needs help!

Ok, so I bought a Diamond yesterday, the P3700. Bought in Norway for £ 450, but the guy on the sales desk kinda messed up and gave me £ 210 discount
Anyway, I'm hoping to get an English language version of the ROM, but after downloading one I get the ERROR message that I've noticed a few other ppl have had that says something about the wrong vendor ID. The phone isn't locked and has the following details;
ROM-version: 1.37.409.3 NOR
ROM-date: 19th June 2008.
Radio Version: 1.00.25.03
Protocol Version: 52.26a.25.09H
Anyone any ideas? I would really appreciate any help on the matter.
Try this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409425 to see if that helps. And www.modmydiamond.info by racerx is a great source of information.
Well, I'm trying to fix this Diamond, but it doesn't want to play ball. Is my version too new? The phone is brand new, and I was wondering if there was a thread that has a how to for dummies like me for the P3700 Diamond. Like which Hard SPL do I need and which ROM? I'm guessing a WWE ROM is the one for an English version. To be honest all the version numbers are a bit confusing. I thought that I was quite good with computers etc, but this flashing etc. has me dumbfounded. You guys (programmers) must be geniuses!
Your ROM version is certainly NOT too new. If you follow the instructions in the thread that I mentioned in the previous post, you should not have any problems. And check out www.modmydiamond.info for all the info on the HARD-SPLs. And you should flash a 1.93 ROM instead of 1.37 as it is much fater and more stable. I prefer Dutty's V1.4 (or soon to be released V1.5). And I use Developer version (unsigned) Hard-SPL. You should also flash the 1.00.25.05 radio, and it seems to be more reliable and produce better reception.
Well, I just upgraded my phone to 1.93.409.1 NOR and 1.00.25.05 Radio. It was released last week by HTC. But, I'd still like to have an English version. It's late here 02:00, so I'm off to catch some zzz's. Many thanks for your help! I'll see if I can sort out the Hard SPL and the Dutty v1.5 fix later.
