1.40 ROM for XDAIIs

Does anybody have a copy that I can have which involves not messing with and that I can flash to my XDAIIs with no country error and no o2 stuff on it so it looks like the i-mate :?:

erm...................no

Dude do what this say's.
I've just done it: UK XDA IIs, on Orange network, running i-mate 1.40 ROM.

Slightly going OT...
I am quite keen to do the upgrade from my standard O2 XDA2s 1.31.00 WWE ROM, but I am a little unsure on what 1.40 ROM to download from WIKI. I think I need:
i-mate 1.40.176
I know my device is a Blue Angel, Rom as above, extended ROM as 1.31.139 WWE
Can anyone confirm the correct download please?
Also, has anyone had any problems installing on XDA's the same as mine?
I have read the install tutorial, but would like to get an idea of if I am going to run into problems.
Oh, one more thing... What advantage does ROM 1.40 have over my existing ROM apart from bug fixes (oh please! daily lockups!!!)?
Many, many thanks.

O2 XDAIIs Upgrade
I used the i-mate 1.40.176 upgrade for my O2 XDAIIs. All in all its pretty stable, with only the Bluetooth stability (memory issues and BT Manager & Settings "disappearing") as the main issue. Much better than the O2 1.31 ROM (will they ever get that 1.40 update out...!?) You will need to use the "MAUpgrade" rather than "BAUpgrade" utility, as the 1.40.176 ROM was built for the i-mate rather than the xda2s.
One problem I did have with this ROM at the start, was that GPRS would not stay connected. This seems to be a sporadic problem among those that upgrade, but if you experience it after upgrading to this ROM, you can correct the problem by replacing the "CallerID" cab in the extended ROM with the older version (1.17) This version of the file is available on wiki also. This will involved unhiding and unlocking the Extended ROM and replacing the file. Look at the wiki instructions under Blue Angel for "Cooking Your First Extended ROM" That said, you may not experience this problem, so upgrade the ROM first and see how it goes.
All in all a much better ROM. I am trying the new O2 Asia WWE ROM with a modified extended ROM and this is also pretty good. Slighty better Wi Fi switch on and off in my opinion. This one is on wiki also, but you will probably need to "cook" the extended ROM here a bit more than the 1.40.176 version.
Hope this helps

Anybody tried the imate 1.40 rom on O2 XDA IIs purchased from Singapore?
I am facing problems to using any 'Today Plug-ins' like IP Dashboard, O2 Plus beta, Lexisgoo English dictionary etc. The problem is after say 30 minutes or after more, my keyboard input will only be selectable, cannot select CE-Star chinese keyboard or Intellipad.
What do I have on my O2 XDA IIs?
1. CE-Star
2. Intellipad and Intellidialler
3. Lexisgoo English dictionary
4. SKTools
5. Sprite backup standard
6. Cal89A calculator
7. MDict 1.21
and many more.
Please help anyone.
Thanks.

my exerience with this device and all the ROMS has been that the fewer Today plugins you have the better. SPB Pocket Plus V2.5 caused a lot of lock ups. Not sure about new version 3.0 Seems multiple Today plug ins cause conflicts. Hard to pinpoint all the interactions and what affects what... Not much help I am afraid :-[ I would just try to keep them to a minimum.
Regards
chris

You said it man!
I'm down to zero 'Today Plug-ins' now and it seems to keep my IIs from needing to 'soft reset'.
Any others from Singapore who had used the Imate 1.40 rom?

Two major problems that I am facing with 1.40 ROM include:
1. wifi can't be connected after disconnecting GPRS.
2. bluetooth problem (memory error) or storage card disappear after disconnecting BT.
Anybody experience these?
Cheers,

I had used the Imate rom before but, there has been many casses of terrible lag. When i updated to 1.40 and radio to 1.13 wooo... just very very fast...

Installing the latest Pocketplus with my 1.40 ROM makes my device hard-reset itself.
I need a way of getting IE to be able to save pictures. Anyone know of an alternative way to do this?

I have no problem with pocketplus 3.0.
Which version you are using?

1.40 ROM has serius today screen problems with me too (That's why I still use 1.31).

I have no problem with pocketplus 3.0.
Which version you are using?

My ROM configuration is in my sig.
The SPB pocketplus version is: v3.0.0.3652
I really want the mods it offers. (particularly 'save picture as' in IE).

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

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:

ROM version and Radio version relationship

Just something I'd like to share.
Like most of us here I've been playing around with various WM6 ROM flavours and Radio versions.
What I have found is that there seems to be a relationship of some sort between ROM versions and Radio versions. A relationship regarding stability, speed but also battery drainage. Certain Radio versions simply don't go well with certain ROM versions I have found.
At the moment I am running Schap's WM6 4.31 Lite WWE ROM. Superb ROM BTW.
The Radio version that I have found to be the most 'matching' is Radio 1.51.00.10. It's stable, battery life of this ROM/Radio combination is fantastic, HSDPA works great and it doesn't slow down my TyTN.
I've tried lower and higher Radio versions with Schap's 4.31, most were also stable but there were other issues, like incoming call issues, HSDPA access and speed, battery life not that good, Bluetooth connectivity issues, or the responsiveness of my TyTN decreased dramatically (the latest 1.54 Radio ROM).
Who else has the same experience?

i only hace the 1.54 radio, but i try the older ones immediately, although m hermes is very responsive (crcs 6.1 release 6 ;-))
Regards

I allways flash the OEM Rom with the Radio that I want to use. Then flash the cooked rom.

I tried the 1.51 radio rom version with crcs 6.1 release 7 and it had a horrible power drainage... with 1.54 i had the best so far ;-)
btw: i have a herm300 if there's a relationship^^

Doesn't matter but: It's better to get the radio 'seated', 'tested', & working 1st. Then if all is well, flash the OS rom (u must have hardspl installed for both).

thx appreciate it
but those are trials.i was hoping for a site with includind serials or cracks

well, after testing 1.54 with the release 7 I have to admit that the power drainage is still very high... it seems like the release 6 was the most energy saveing in adversation to release 7 wich looks like the heaviest power consumer ever ;-)

Artemis Touch 4.01 Vanilla call problem

Hi Everybody!I have SPV M650 Orange(Artemis).I update my ROM to Artemis Touch 4.01 Vanilla and now i have problem with calling.After night i try to call but... my phone not respond,others programs and function working normally.Restart(big battery drain 10% down after soft reset !!) and my Artemis working fine.Before im using Artemis 4.01 Vanilla ROM and problem will be the same!I update my radio to 03.08.90 but problem stay.Please help lads!
Sorry,bad english.
Regards.

the same
I have the same problem, but I have a FULL version of 4.02 ROM (ENG). The problem is exactly the same - after some time (one night for example) the "phone application" stops responding when I want to make a call. I think it's the ROMs fault. I thinking of going back to the original WM5 or original WM6 from HTC.

I think the problem is from the OS ROM. I had same problem with vanilla 4.02.
Just try it another new build ROM.

Hi Zecanilis,
I encounter the same problem that is described here by user kosiara an Novy
The GSM signal is excellent, but the phone does not work from time to time and when I try to make a call, I get the message "the operation failed". of course nobody can reach me neither... When I do a soft reset everything is back to normal...
This is very anoying and I do not know what to do.
I bought this PDA second hand, with the upgrades already done for me. Since I do not have any personal data or programs on it yet, I wouldn't mind doing a hard reset and installing everything from scratch.
What would you suggest as a stable system OS and ROM versions?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Here are my actual data:
XDA Orbit
IPL 1.25.0001
SPL 1.11.0000
GSM 03.08.90
OS 3.13.0.0
ROM version : Artemis Touch 4.02 WWE
ROM date 4/08/08
Protocol version 4.1.13.52
Model Nr : ARTE 200
WM 6.1 Professional
CE OS 5.2.19199 (Build 19199.1.0.0)
Regards

But, yet again, I don't understand...
Vanilla 4.01 and 4.02 seem to be very popular and appreciated roms.
How come we are the only ones to complain about phone not working properly?
Is it really the OS build? CE OS 5.2.19199 (Build 19199.1.0.0) I don't think so. I have seen it also a lot in Devices.
What could it be then?
I hope it is not a Gsm radio hardware pb......
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I'm not "guessing". I had the same problem and i think my problem is solved after this new rom i have.
Just try one recent build of OS. My build is 19591.
Before upgrading, just turning off and on the phone in the "comm manager" whould give me that problem sometimes. Now i've allready tested it and all is ok.

Hi, and thanks for your reply.
I am new to this and althought I read many post, I am not sure.
Can I just upgrade the OS Build without flashing a new ROM.?
If Yes, How do I do it...any tutorial?
Thanks

No.
You have to flash a complete new ROM.
Cheers

OK Thanks
Whish me good luck,,,

Good luck and good choose...

I experienced that problem a few weeks ago and it's happening more often in the last days. My ROM is Artemis Touch 4.02 full.
Some people started complaining that they couldn't phone me while I didn't see any problem with my phone (as long as I didn't try to make a call myself).
Funny addition to that problem: Sometimes I find my phone (usually in the morning) with a blank white screen. I don't know why that keeps happening but I sure would appreciate any hints what's the root of all that evil.
I'm happy with the 4.02 ROM so I'd rather avoid some things if it keeps the ROM stable.

when you installed your new rom did you flash it twice ?
this will make sure that all system files are copied 100%.
its really important to do this on all new roms that you install.

Thanks for your answer. Yes, I flashed it twice and I even flashed a factory rom before that. All Artemis Touch roms were fine until 4.01 and 4.02.
So Zecanilis is probably right blaming the OS version for that malfunctions.

New Rom
I have flashed my device using USPL (took me 2 days to setup the program to work with vista drivers). Then I flashed the same ROM I had before (Artemis Touch 4.02 full Red and Black) but with a different OS build. (as Zicanillis advised)
I will use it for a while and let you know if the freezing phone problem has been corrected.
Cheers

One other change that is on my build is page pool.
My page pool is 6 MB, and some Touch and vanilla (included the 4.02 i had) is only 4MB.
In my opinion that could be another issue to test.
My PDA is working just fine now.
Cheers

For me the problem was the OS Build.
I flashed my device with the same 4.02 vanilla but with a different OS buid and the Phoneworks great. Been using for 2 weeks now, never freezes or looses signal.
Cool
Thanks to Zecanillis advice! obrigado !
