XDA2s- new ROM?

Hi all,
got myself a 2s a couple of weeks ago, upgrading from a standard XDA. I'm mainly using it for contacts/calender syncing and TomTom, the wifi is handy too for msn when I'm in airports! When I had the XDA, I cooked a nice ROM from lumpistefan's site which was great and had loads of nice tools to mess around with. Is there anywhere where I can get a nice ROM for the 2s? Perhaps even the PDA2k one? Can that be put onto the 2s?
Anybody had any luck unlocking yet? I'm not desperate to do it as I have an O2 SIM, but it would be handy to pop my work SIM in when I need to.
I'd like to get the most out of the 2s, so any help greatly appreciated.

ROM version: 1.12.62 WWE
ROM date: 10/04/04
Radio: 1.02.00
Protocol version: 1337.32
ExtROM version: 1.12.178 WWE

To be honest the answer to the above questions can be found in the 'Blue Angel Upgrading' section. Do a search on some keywords, nad you will find what ure after. PM me if you need any help on anything else. Yes you can unlock the extended rom, but no one has found away to remove the simlock as yet. :x

Okey dokes, I'll have a look around the other area. Many thanks for your reply.

MDA PRO (NL) ROM upgrade + radio 1.04.02 upgrade!! (guide)

Hi guys!
First of all my very atmost gratitude to all people bringing the right knowledge to this forum! It has given me a lot of ways to tweak and upgrade my MDA Pro (Universal). Thanks again. I upgraded my MDA pro in 30 minutes to the latest iMATE WWE + radio 1.04.02!!
Main benefits for me: built-in SKYPE (that works), Built-in Pocket MSN and NOT built-in, but working now: MS voice command (v1.5)
Since it took me a while collecting all relevant info for upgrading and tweaking my MDA pro, i wanted to share my experiences with you and let you know how i finally managed everything. Also because some posts contain outdated info about the upgrade process. So here we go:
UPDATE MDA PRO (NL) -> iMate Jasjar WWE + radio 1.04.02
----------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all get the right files from:
ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]/Universal
Get the files:
* JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301.exe
(from /Universal/Shipped%20ROM/JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301/)
and the file:
* UNIVERSAL - JASJAR - Radio Version 1.04.02.rar
(from /Universal/)
- Unpack both files into a separate directory (use WINrar for both)
- Unplug universal (MDA pro) from USB
- In activesync, under connection settings, disable USB en COM connections
- Put MDA pro in bootloader by pressing LIGHT button + Power + RESET
(you can see USB vaguely on your screen, since you don't have backlight on)
- Connect MDA pro on USB; Windows will recognize new USB device
- Launch the file from the WWE update: MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
- Preform the upgrade (this process takes about 15 to 20 minutes)
(I didnt get any country error here as some described earlier, it went smoothly)
- After it finishes, do not disconnect the MDA pro and DO NOT reset it. Immediately preform the next upgrade:
- Run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe from the radio 1.04.02 directory
- This will take about 10-15 minutes
- After it finishes, disconnect from USB and give cold reset: POWER + reset
- You'll see the new iMATE splash screen, and then the Windows Mobile screen (first boot will take some time)
- Then the device will ask to first-setup and you're IN!
I did NOT have to install anything from the extended ROM, as others posted. The only thing i needed to do after upgrade was:
* Make new 'GPRS, 3G' connection for T-mobile, using the settings: APN: internet, user/pwd: tmobile
Then I deleted my old partnership on the ActiveSync, and activated USB and COM connections again, and synchronised my device! Et voila!!!
Then I installed my previous apps (see tip list on end of posting) and made the essential registry tweaks to my device, which can be found on:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry
Alrighty, hope this will bring the same smile to your face as it did on mine
Take care,
Guido
---------------------------------------
Some other tips I'd like to share:
* install Microsoft Portrait v2.3 for audio/video conferencing!! On GPRS is works better then skype for me! Audio is perfect, video connection (even at lowest settings) scrambles the audio a bit!
* Magic Button is top app!
* VNCviewer does a sweet job on the VGA screen (terminal services works fine too, but doesn't go fullscreen)
* of course Tomtom 5.1 + checkpoint 5.02 and/or POIedit
* Resco File explorer + Registry editor (must have!)
* Upgrading to Skype 1.2 beta did not work for me, stick to the default one!

Guido, execellent post!!!

Having a diferent build (please see below), I'm very much interested to see your tips on the above, TomTom (normal installation doesn' go...!?!) and skype (pre-installed in my JASJAR, but I haven't been able to have it working at all...!?!)
Thanks in advance.

Somebody has deleted all files in the upload section, now the most of the files are reposted again(thanx), i guess, their still are missing some shipped roms.
only rom their is for now; JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10402.rar(if it is a full rom)
So think for now that you have to browse the ftp upload part.
ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]/Universal

simlock
hi
is the simlock from t-mobile removed after you did the update?
because you also updated the radio version........
ok please help, i cant use my MDA Pro cause i have Vodafone!
Thanks in advance

ROM uploaded / reply to questions
Hi guys,
I just read that someone cleared out some files in the upload dir!
So, as we speak the uploading of the JASJAR rom update is in progress. Should be in shipped rom any moment now.
For further replying on your msgs;
- Haven't checked if the unit is simlock free now, but I think i won't be.. I'll keep you posted.
- I read somewhere that Skype needs a minimum of 18MB program memory to run correctly. Right now I managed to get 21MB free, and everything works smoothly.
- TomTom had to be installed with the 4 cabs files, since the original setup didn't work for me (crashed in installer)
And once more; I really love how MS portrait is working for audio/video conferencing. Especially since of 15-11-2005 I'm using UMTS (!) on T-Mobile NL
Looking forward to your experiences.
Take care,
Guido

thanks guido.... how are you using umts on t-mobile ???

Is it possible to put back the original mda pro rom if something goes wrong... like a registry edit.... I don't really know how everything works and I don't want to destroy my new toy !!!

Reply / Exec ROM update / UMTS / Appz / Reg tweaks
Once you upgrade you go beyond the ** Point of no-return **
But sometimes you gotta take some risks in life to advance
Actually again I took the risk yesterday of trying out the XDA Exec ROM upgrade. And I must say; this one works pretty fine for me too. And right now I gained 22,35MB free RAM memeory, so I managed to get Skype 1.2 beta running!
Furthermore I'm test using the UMTS network of T-Mobile NL. I already clocked speeds up to 320 Kbps in the downstream; pretty neat Skype and Portrait work excellent on these new speeds.
And I've tested if the upgrade unlocked the device; but.... as I've expected: no....
For now I would suggest going for the O2 Exec upgrade, also since it has the 1.04.02 radio builtin. Things I like more about this upgrade:
- More FREE program memory (allowing skype 1.2 to run for example)
- Nicer SPLASH screen
- Seems to operate a bit faster
Once you installed the Exec ROM you can choose 'Install Type' under programs; this is where you select the Corporate Mode, and then give in the code 0506. (This wasn't really described clearly for me in the other posts). Then reset. Furthermore I deleted all other O2 stuff on the device (don't forget the shortcuts under Windows\StartUp). Actually I only left sddaemon in the startup group, giving me max of working RAM.
Thus, now running:
R 1.04.02
D 1.13.48
G 42.37.P8
installed appz:
- Skype 1.2 beta
- TomTom 5.1
- MS Portrait v2.3
- MS Voice Command v1.5
- Resco File Explorer
- Resco Registry Editor
- Magic Button
- Pocket Informant 2005
- Some small utils: 'Running Programs'/'Reset'/'CloseAll'/'TrayLaunch'
- Total Commander (only for vieweing Ext Rom)
and registry tweaks: (see my first post)
- GPS
- Fonts
- Bluetooth OBEX
- data connection always on
- soft buttons changed
- MS voice command for Bluetooth headset
- Glyph cache size
- Terminal Services cache size
- Homepage hardware button change
All works deliciously
cheers,
Guido

Reply / Exec ROM update
Hi,
I just took the risk to advance, however when upgrading to the XDA Exec ROM I got the message that (after doing the hardware inspectation):
ERROR 120: Country ID Error
The ROM image that you are trying to use is not designed to work on your device.....
I have an MDA Pro.
Anyone have useful ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I read this before in other posts. It seems that when you launch the updater the 2nd time, it doesn't produce the country error anymore
Hope this will be the same in your case!
And another important thing mentioned before; I used MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe (from the Jasjar file or Radio 1.04.02 file) to preform the upgrade. Just copy this file in the Exec directory and launch it; it will display another xda, but this is normal and will work fine for the universal
Good luck!
Cheers,
Guido

umts and simlock
Hi Guido,
thanks again for your cool posting every time! You keep us informed.
First off all pretty that the Simlock isn't removed after the update! I want to update too but first i want to remove my simlock. After that i will do an update and use my device just like i used mine Qtek 9090 before!
1 More question is about Tom Tom 5.1 when i try to install it i get an error is there an guide out there to install Tom Tom 5.1 on WM 5 ?
Ok thanks for now and keep us informed!
Surinamer!

Thanks guido.... I'll take the risk.... but how did you get the umts on your mda because the info I got said that umts on a t-mob network will be available from 2006

upgrade MDA Pro rom
Hi Guido,
Thanks for your useful info. The MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe did the job, my T-Mobile settings are gone now.
However I didn't had the time to do the XDA upgrade yet, but will do tonight.
Anyway thanks.

Will you go for the Exec or the Jasjar upgrade?
Concerning UMTS; I'm test using it on T-Mobile NL. Officially it will be launched in 2006. I'll keep you informed about the progress.
Video Calling isn't yet supported on the MDA, but the data connection is! Topping at 340 Kbps, which is pretty fast for a mobile device

Qtek 9000 error and upgrade to imate latest firmware?
Hi,
Have been reading through all of your responses. Very impressive.
Today i received my Qtek 9000.
It seems to be a wonderful phone and with the subscriptions vodafone has in sweden i get free calls and free downloads. Looked great.
Now to my problem.
I´ve put in all settings that vodafone provides for other ppc´s and it´s working on them.
It connects, dissapears, connects again.
And i get:
Cannot Connect:
Dialed: services.vodafone.net
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings. If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufacturer´s documentation and try again.
I´ve downloaded these 2 files:
JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301.exe
UNIVERSAL - JASJAR - Radio Version 1.04.02.rar
Will an upgrade remove my problem?
But my question is, i bought it at expansys, why buy qtek if i could have bought an iMate instead? I mean will i now rebrand it to be an imate?
Are there no software updates from qtek?
Since this one is brand new, should i return it and get an iMate instead?
I will also need to get the regfix for swedish keyboard, would be entirely greatful if it could be arranged.
Very first message from a brand new forum member!
Best regards,
Daniel Eriksson

Guido,
Is it possible for me to get acces to the umts from t-mobile.. Furthermore I'm thinking that I will install the exec rom on my mda pro. I'll receive my device tomorrow so I'll see. Do you think its a good purchase ??
Thanks

guido.... btw ik snap echt geen f*ck van dat editen van je registry.... kan je me misschien in het nederlands uitleggen wat het inhoud/betekent ?

To which rom should I update my Dutch TMobile MDA pro?

Hi!
I really feel like a newbie when i read all the posts about all the different rom versions, so can someone give me some advice which rom i should use to upgrade to?
I have a dutch TMobile MDA pro, which is still at the default rom:
ROM: 1.12.42 WWE (8/23/05)
Radio: 1.00.02
extRom: 1.12.125 WWE
I am experiencing problems with spontaneous hangs (which might have to do with 3rd party software, but the device itself isnt exactly stable)
but also the radio often just loses signal, which i can only fix by rebooting...
I want to upgrade, but i don't want to spend toooo much time on it. Is there a rom that offers better stability which is easy to install and configure?
Regards,
Casper

Try updating to the latest I-Mate Jasjar ROM. Very stable and fast. I too use a lot of 3rd party applications and games. This is my 3rd day of not experiencing any problem without doing a soft reset in the morning.

I prefer Orange ROM... both imate and orange are the same version though... only that Orange's ROM is released while Imate is still not released

ady, what made you say the I-Mate ROM has not been released yet? It is true there is a test version which came 2 weeks earlier than the one I am using now which is NOT the test version. Just curious.
Another question please about the NEW Orange ROM. Is it true that the vibrate is always ON and you can't turn it OFF?

I did it!
last week i gathered my courage, downloaded the JasJar rom, found the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe tool, pressed install, drank a cup of coffee, and was finished!
It went flawlessly! And my T-Mobile MDA Pro has never run smoother!
I couldnt (and wouldnt) have done it without this forum, so thanks guys!
Now its just waiting until there is a new stable rom with A2DP on it, and then i'll upgrade again!

I upgraded my mda pro to the latest t-mobile UK ROM straight out of the box. But even then I have the same problems with spontaneous hangs. And reading your success story I gathered all the files JASJAR_WWE_13076_164_10900_wwe_ship.exe and MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to upgrade to the JasJar rom myself. But as complete newbie who is affraid to mess things up, did you do anything else except unzipping the ROM update and copying the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to that folder ? The reason why I am asking I read somewhere that you have to add [CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1 to the RUU.conf file.
Thanks in advance.

JASJAR rom works fine
My T-mobile mda pro NL arrived today and i almost immediately flashed it to Imate JASJAR firmware on the xda-developer ftp. I used the Universal_Upgrade_v1.30.68_radio_1.09.0.zip file which contains:
Rom 1.30.68 WWE
Radio 1.09.00
ExtROM 1.30.153
Protocol 42.42P8
and is dated at 08 february 2006.
This works fine and removes the ugly pink theme and adds some nice apps like skype after customizing. It also has an alternative contacts menu, which has skype integration. Pocket MSN (a not so nice app imho) is also included, although i use the new agile messenger beta.
The bootscreen mentions 'for testing only, not for sale' which might indicate that it is not a final (not sure though).

Thanks it works like a charm.
ROM 1.30.76 WWE
ROM date 20 february 2006
Radio 1.09.00
Protocol 42.42.P8
ExtROM 1.30.164 WWE

I'm using T-mobile UK version with 1.09 radio rom. This version INCLUDES the a2dp profiles, but no pushmail. You can use the blackberry connect software from german t-mobile site on the Universal. so you will have AND pushmail and A2DP.
http://www.pocketinfo.nl/artikel/5561
I think Imate rom is also a nice ROM.

Reading this topic en reading the instructions about bootloader, I have another question. In the instruction ist says to make a factory reset after loading the new ROM. Does this mean that all information in your MDA is wiped out and must be reloaded?

yes the machine is a complete naked beauty afterwards

Dopod 700 - WWE. How to upgrade the ROM and Radio?

Hi, I really new into this. I spend nearly the whole day in ready everything written on this on your wiki web site, which seems to be excellent. I read and tried to follow the steps to download a new ROM, but did not succeed.
I bought a DOPOD 700 in Taiwan in English version, and I don't know where I can find an upgrade version. I tried to go on the Dopod web site of Taiwan, but it’s in Chinese.
My current Device data reads:
PH20B 0 B WWE E DOPOD601 1.12.22 2 2 1.12.179 1.02.00 02.00
PH2OBO WWE E DOPOD601
ROM 1.22.22 WWE
ROM date 09/27/04
Radio version: 1.02.00
Protocol version: 1337.32
ExtROM 1.22.179 WWE
If I understand well after reading the section "how do I install an upgrade and what tools to use", I would need to download as follows:
"List of know Blueangel, sold as, Model ID, Operator code etc"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=81244#81244
http://www.clubimate.com/Support/PDA2k_WWE_12200_162_10600_SHIP.exe
Download to
C:\XDA-Tools\PDA2k_WWE_12200_162_10600_SHIP.exe”
But it does not work. I don’t have an Imate, so I cannot register on the Support Club and cannot get access to the file.
Did I make something wrong?
Thank you in advance for your help. PascalK

upgrading
So i guess you want to upgrade it to another original shipped roms?
1st download the ROM here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Upgrades
Than follow the instructions over here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Downgrade_WM5
And for the radio also copy radio_.nbf from the 2003SE ROM to the "??Your_DIR??\Downgrade to WM2003SE" folder. At stap 2
Hope this will help you

Dear Rawish,
Many thanks for your advise. I have followed the procedure as indicated. I dowloaded the ROM and located the WM2003SE ROM. I prepared my PHB device as indicated, but then I met another problem:
It is written on the bootscreen of my Dopod 700 "Test Only - Not for sale - Qteck -". So I don't have access to the three options that are described in 3rd step of "BA_Dowgrade_WM5".
I guess that I am a victim of a crook in the IT shop of Taipei.
Or is there a possibility to remove this page to continue the upgrading process?
Thanks for any help. PascalK

Need Advice on Upgrading Plz help :)

Greetings! I am new here and I recently bought an xda exec here in china. Problem is, the exec was loaded with a chinese rom because it was intended for chinese users so i asked the seller to make it in english. It seemed they had a problem with changing the rom, Im not really sure coz i cant understand half of what theyre saying. After a long wait, I was given an exec with a dopod rom.
Now having a different rom from the supposed manufacturer's one, it seems my unit has a few errors, for example im frequently having a sddaemon (which i found out has something to do with the contacts list) and sddialer (which i think has something to do with voice dialing) errors. Another thing I have a problem with is, the boot screen, since it was loaded with a dopod rom, it says "dopod enjoy mobility" at the boot screen. I feel kinda uneasy with it, simply put, i dont like it.
Also, I think my problems would be solved by flashing a different rom, but im not sure what to use tho. Actually, I want to use a 'proper' o2 rom because i like to have the boot screen back to o2. Yet, it seems everyone is suggesting the JasJar rom, do you think i should use the JasJar rom? If so, How can i change the boot screen to the o2 one?
For anyone who can help, Advice on how to address my problems is very much appreciated. I tried searching the forums but i cant seem to get how the search function working. I humbly ask guidance and advice to my problems and a proper redirection is highly appreciated. thanks in advance!

also..
Also, I'm also considering upgrading to WM6. Is it advisable to upgrade to WM6?

WM6 has a better looking than WM5, and most of the software are newer.
If you want stable, you can use WM5, most of the new ROM are all for the WM6, I am also a user in China, I am now using WM6 with a chinese language supporting package.

How unstable is wm6? Does wm6 have features or anything to offset the instability?
@XingYun: are you using an english rom with chinese text support or is your rom purely chinese? Im thinking of copying your setup, would you advise it?
BTW, my Device information says the ff:
ROM version: 1.30.111 WWE
ROM date: 04/06/06
Radio Version: 1.04.02
Protocol Version: 42.37.P8
ExtROM version: 1.13.188 WWE
Any more help and advice is very welcome

Later builds of WM6 for Universal isn't really unstable. It's actually better. There's only one problem. NO VIDEO CALL.
You can get the latest WM5 ROM here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286036
You can get the latest WM6 Crossbow ROM here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303685
Use the Search facility... It really helps.

Ok, ive decided to upgrade to wm6. Since I want to have an o2 boot screen, should i use the o2 rom from the jwright link? Will it be compatible with my unit even tho I am running a dopod rom? All I need to do is follow the directions from the wiki :
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...tion On How To Upgrade with Bootloader method
Am I correct? Sorry for sounding like a n00b, but I'm quite scared of making a mistake, so I want to be extra sure and extra careful. Advice and help is appreciated. thx.

I am using a English ROM with Chinese language support, and YouYuan text format, my machine infomation is like this:
ROM version: 2.05.00 WWE
ROM date: 04/09/07
Radio version:1.15.00
This is the ROM I am using:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305512

Finally upgraded with Jwright wm6 rom, works fine now, thx everyone.

Hi, HProvider
Could you tell me where did you find the chinese language support package?
Mine does not work well with the Jwright ROM.
Thanks!
