gprs and o2 asia 1.40 rom

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.

Missing camera application
I have a new Exec and I have the latest ROM version as displayed on the O2 web site. When I install using the Corporate option (code 0506) and the great O2_Exec_Connections_Only CAB. But the camera application seems to be missing (or components of it). Has anyone else found this and is there a solution? Do I have to do a full install and then delete the O2 junk?

Does the camera show up in the other install options?
I didn't even bother with the O2 junk, I just reset the device at the "wait 3 seconds" part so none of the O2 stuff was installed and my camera works fine.

Missing camera application
DavidT
Many thanks for your response. It turns out the ROM image was faulty. So, however many times I re-installed or in whatever configuration, the camera application was missing bits. So, I downloaded the latest ROM image and re-installed. Everything works fine now.
Like you, I avoid the O2 stuff.

I don't have an O2 number either, so how can I download the ROM?
any help guys?
Thanks

Upgrade my MDA Pro !

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?

errr... , long story, please read,

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....

No GPRS After Upgrade

I was using my stock universal (T-Mobile MDA II) with GPRS connection. I upgraded the ROM to Ranju's V7.6 WM6.1 ROM and in general I think it's a great improvement except now my GPRS connection doesn't work. I have tried Shap's Setup Operator but it doesn't have an option for the US. I think I either need to upgrade my radio ROM, or I need a CAB to tell the universal how to use the GPRS in the US. Can somebody please give me some tips to get it working again?

Posterbation
Just to update folks, I was about to go back to the stock ROM but I stumbled accross the DarkForcesTeam ROM and gave it a whirl. GPRS in the US on T-Mobile works just fine with that ROM. I actually like it better because it has less software installed so I can install my own, and it has a really nice custom Today screen.
James

I have the same problem of no GPRS with Ranju in the UK on vodafone.

Vodafone (AU) ROM Required

Hi all,
I have a telstra locked diamond and have changed to vodafone here in australia - the htc site won't let me download the vodafone rom, so i was wondering if anyone can either supply me with the latest vodafone rom, or the direct link to download it from htc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as i can't use vodafone data connections as the phone is locked to use the telstra network for data.
thanks in advance,
paul

Paul, I think any other ROM (custom included) will work fine, the data will be reconfigured automatically. I'm using SwiftBL 7.5 and the first time it starts, it auto-configured data and MMS for me for Optus.

thanks
Thanks for that - have got that rom installed, but had problems with the hard-spl...
Anyway - it works.
Cheers.

Mind You...
I'm having a few problem with that rom - so if anyone can either supply a link, or a phone serial number that will allow the download it would be much appreciated.

Which ROM are you having trouble with?
SwiftBL 7.5
OEM 1.96 WWE

Well:
Australia = AU
Austria = AT

Was using Switft, then tried dutty 3.2...
Strange, everytime I soft-reset some registry settings change back, like the keyboard setting and show SIM numbers. Also, don't seem to be able to get any satellites in gps...
I emailed htc support and they seem unwilling to give me the link to the vodafone rom.
Guess I'll just play around until I get angry enough to try percussive maintenance with a half-pound sledge hammer...

there are new vodafone stock roms, on xda, strange you didn't saw them

Hmm - I must be blind...
I did find the latest stock rom for AU which seems to be running just fine...
Happy now...
Thanks everybody.

Woops - I thought that you would have had problems with the frequency change from Telstra to Vodafone?
My radio notes say:
USA + Telstra: 850/2100 MHz DIAM130
Europe + Vodafone & Optus: 900/2100 MHz DIAM100, DIAM110, DIAM200, DIAM300
D100 on TLS will use HSDPA in city OK (2100) but reverts to slow EDGE in country (stays on 2100 not fast 850 Next G)
G=GPRS
E=EDGE
H=HSDPA
3G= WCDMA/UMTS

Which rom is that? I've just installed Olinex HardSPL 1.30 Signed and was looking for a stock 1.93 based rom to use in AU with Three.

I am looking for a stock rom in australia as well. I have not found any Aus stock roms out there. Maybe it is just a generic stock rom that works all around the world.
I would even be happy with a 3 Australia rom but i cannot seem to find that yet.
Cheers
