Hi all,
First of all I want to thank you for your time.
I bought a Blue Angel device from a friend of mine but unfortunately I'm not so sure who made it.
It does have the bluetooth, camera on the back, wireless wifi, etc.
About a week ago, the phone function died. I verified that it wasn't the GSM card because when I moved the GSM (Cingular) to a different cell phone, it does work.
I then found out that from the device information, I only saw the ROM version, ROM date and ExtROM version BUT the Radio version and the Protocol version are blank.
I am attaching the devicedata.txt.
With that in mind, I have tried to upgrade the ROM and the Radio. I'm currently running the O2 ROM with the following information:
1. ROM version 1.12.62 WWE
2. ROM date: 10/04/04
3. Radio version: Blank
4. Protocol version: Blank
5. ExtROM version: 1.12.178 WWE.
When I tried to upload the Radio ROM, it seems to upload it, no error messages but still the radio version information is blank and my Blue Angel is still not recognizing as if the radio is off.
I tried to upload other ROM, like Imate PDA2k, Siemens SX66, etc but I couldn't because sometimes it kept complaining about country id or language id not correct.
I really appreciate any helps, inputs on this matter. I'm kind of dead on the water without my phone...
Thank you so very much,
Tambeng
Upgrade everything, not just the radio rom, you have a really old stuff running there...
Download upgrade from. clubimate.com and install it. But only of you have PDA2K.
I did try upgrade it to the following:

But after the upgrade the Radio version and the Protocol version went blank again.
Do you think the fact that the radio version is blank is the cause of my phone to die?
Has anyone else since this issue before?
Thanks,

I tried to download but it says about the model is not correct.
btw: what does it mean by a ROM that says cooked?
Thanks,

No, no. Try to download from official website. What is your PDA call? It must be says some where on it.

It means that somebody made it by himself - not official. People take different parts from different ROMs and put them together into one ROM. You don't need things like this right now.

Very possible. What is wrong with your phone exactly? It's searching for signal or......?
It's actually really interesting that it didn't have any brand at all on it.
It just says, PocketPC on the top right corner. Can I identify the maker from the IMEA? I can share the IMEA number.
As for the phone, it doesn't even search for a signal at all. It just have the exclamation mark, like "!".
Thanks for your help,

I've had a look around the FTP but to no avail.
Is there a WWE VPX rom around anywhere, or a link to download one from the voda site? I've tried looking but not found one yet.
Device is PH20B currently on 1.42, 1.13 and O2 ext rom from their latest release.
looking for the same thing for months, no luck either
Is it possible to steal the theme then from the VPA ROM? The cool red and silver one.
What I have done is use the T-Mob 1.42 ROM with the VPA Ext Rom.
The main language was english, but anything that was installed by the ext rom became german - so not much use to me.
yep
did the same thing, does not work well
Lordao
Here you go guys, The Vodafone theme
I've got a German VPX rom. As I'm a lazy muppet can anyone host this for me / walk me through uploading it to the FTP? It's no longer on their site.
Richard
I'm searching for the newst ROM file for the Vodafone VPx..
Rightnow I have
Rom version: 1.22.00 WWE
Rome Date: 10/22/04
Radio version: 1.06.00
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtROM version: 1.22.155 WWE
I assume it's too old ROM, Where to find the new one?
Should the one for PDA2K or Qtek9090 ROM work on my device??
Waiting for reply
Vodafone WWE Ext ROM..
Downloaded the Vodafone skin posted above, thanks
However does anyone have the UK Vodafone Ext ROM, or even a WWE one from somewhere else? I assume the company specific Ext ROM adds different functionality other than a skin...
Aim is to use most current ROM/Radio on O2 XDA IIs with a vodafone Ext ROM as I'll be using a Vodafone SIM... noticed a German Ext ROM for Vodafone VPAIII dated 140206 on the FTP site, can this be switched to English, and is it compatible with the O2 XDAIIs etc.?
Well a search gave me this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=46603&highlight=voda*
The rom is old and not in the wiki list due to the fact nobody cared to add it even though its no the ftp site.
hmmm...

Yip, been there, seen that, but I dont kow how to extract the ext rom stuff from the .exe
So I did search, I did read, but I didn't know what the next step was, hence the reason for asking someone to upload an ext rom to the kitchen other than the GER versions...
OK, went back to the WIKI and now realise that all I need is the ms_.nbf file from the WWE version mentioned above :shock: :shock: The question now is, how can I install that with a 1.40/1.42 ROM?
Well you don't
The Ext rom conmsits of apps and patches that are made for a rom version.
The apps are no problem the patches are as they will over write the files that have most likely been updated in the new rom.
(As in BT stack in 1.22 ships as 1.xx in the rom,
got updated to 1.xy in the ext rom
and the rom 1.40 its now 1.yy.
Run the ext rom then you are back to 1.xy)
So if you want to have the same carrier related stuff on a none same carrier rom then you save the cabs of the ext rom before you upgrade.
As for the vodaphone thing, well we have had no ship roms in the 1.4x family and no wwe ext roms uploaded. So what ever you want to do you have yourself.
BA kitchen goes into that in more detail I know as I wrote it.
Almost there... (Thanks to the Wiki & Forum)!
OK, finally took the plunge...
O2 XDAIIs arrived yesterday, Rom 1.31... updated straight away to the O2 update from there site (available on this site Xda_IIs_Upgrade_v140242.exe) and all went well... I then added a Vodafone skin but that wasn't really good enough It meant I still had the O2 Active gubbins all over my PDA which is of course no use...
Long night ahead I thought... and I was right
I now have the 1.42 CE ROM with the 1.15 Radio ROM and a cooked version of the Vodafone German EXT_ROM with many of the items replaced with the most current items from the Kitchen!
I still have a few niggles... double entries of files etc such as Windows media player, album etc (1 GER, 1 WWE) but the GER ones crap out and the WWE ones work... all I need to do now is work out which bits are installed by what in the original stuff and I should be able to sort it...
I have one request... could someone please post the UK Vodaphone version of the CAB which sets up the Vodafone Live! stuff? my vodafone live is all screwed up and looking for German stuff...
I will keep you informed in a new thread as to how my continued conversion goes!
Thanks to all who have updated the forum/Wiki it has been no end of help and I have a hybrid set of roms, with a cooked ext_rom and fully functional WiFi/BT/GPRS/MMS witin 24 hrs of receiving my XDA and taking the plunge... major kudos to you all!
As MDAUSERIII says... read the Wiki, and all will become clear!
Try this http://www.vodafone-dataworld.co.uk/uploads/BA_VF_UK_14000_238_11300_Ship.exe
Nice link
How did you get to that file so I can post it to wiki.
Where'd you find that!?!?!

Awesome link! D/Ling just now... then reflash (again!)
I'm now in a bit of a quandry... having finally got a data enabled device (BA as opposed to my mobile and Palm T3) I am now looking to use my data services more, but I have looked around for the best deals (I use PAYG) and it looks to be between O2 and Orange... the price of data on Vodafone is just too damned high...
I'l load this up and see how it goes first... thanks for your help
I just got my sexy new MDA pro today, and so far i've been pretty impressed (especially with the screen!)
Anyways, i was very disappointed to discover that T-Mobile didn't include MSN Messenger or Outlook, which is pretty damned annoying really because those were 2 big reasons i bought the phone lol :roll:
So i've got a couple of questions, i hope someone can help
1) What's the best current ROM for me to install (that would have MSN + Outlook on it)
2) If i DID install that new ROM, T-mobile wouldnt have blocked access to those services via their network would they?!
3) By installing an imate/jasjar ROM, will that have any weird side effects... like having mis-branded icons etc? or the loss of certain features that i currently have?
Here's my system info:
ROM Version: 1.12.42 WWE
ROM Date: 08/23/05
Radio Version: 1.00.02
Protocol Version: 42.33.P8
ExtROM Version:1.12.126 WWE
Grateful for any assistance

Does that t-mobile ROM include MSN etc? (US version?!), is there a 'changelog' type list anywhere?
Thanks!
(BTW, is my current ROM ancient?!)
im also a newbie with a mda pro and want to know if there is a better rom to use.
The guy in the t mobile shop said he was using a imate rom as it was much better and stripped of all the t mobile junk.
As helpful as people are here, there is just so much info to actually find out what is correct and what is not
i have flashed with the latest t mobile rom but msn messenger still refuses to work

As far as having t-mobile junk.... well i don't really see anything like that, they just have the t-mobile favourites icon, and that's about it really, thank god im not forced to use a pink t-mobile theme!
im missing msn on mine too, shame the tmob version dont have it nor does it allow push mail yet. oh well, hope the rom upgrade will fix at least the msn for me

I recently got my MDA Pro, and it didnt have msn or outlook preinstalled (or anything else for that matter!).
I just tried installing Skype, and that didnt work, and i'm now wondering if t-mobile have deliberatley cripped the device in some way?
Either way, it's annoying, and i can't be bothered to pay $20 to download MSN mobile, when i should really have it pre-installed :/
If i install the latest T-mobile ROM, does that come pre-installed with those apps?
Can someone recommend me a decent fast ROM that would have all that included?
Thanks!
MDA pro and MSN

Try Agile Messenger. Works well enough.
$20 to d/l MSN Mobile? Good God.
With regards to Skype though, be careful:
T-Mobiles new web and walk unlimited tariffs are "not to be used for other activities such as modem access for computers, internet based video/audio streaming services, peer to peer file sharing, internet based video download and internet based telephony."

Which rules out, oh, 75% of what I'd like to do with an unlimited tariff. How companies get awawy using the word unlimited in advertising is beyond me. My company, O2, is no better - our unlimited data tariffs is limited to 1Gb. I could do that in a few days. Our unlimited talk tariff is limited to 10'0000hours. Who's gonna do that? Why even muck around with an artificial limit?

Where is the latest T-Mobile UK ROMs? I've been trying to get it for a while, looking at two diferent Iris.uk sites, both say it's due Jan 06, but neither have it :-(
Please can someone help :?:
I've just gone to the IRIS site and downloaded apparently the newest ROM for T-Mobile UK. Which it states is the factory version.
On running the update it tells me that this will upgrade me to:
CE Image Version - 1.20.32
Extended Image Version - 1.20.120
Radio Image Version - 1.06.00
But it tells me that my CURRENT version is:
CE Image Version - 1.12.42 - NEWER
Extended Image Version - 1.12.126 - NEWER
Radio Image Version - 1.00.02 - OLDER
What do I do?! What's better newer CE Image/Extended Image, or a newer Radio Image version??

Weird :/
Well can someone please put me/us out of my/our misery and confirm or post a link to the newest T-mob ROM? (is there a specific UK version?).
Also could someone list some major differences with the newest ROM and my current!? I'm a little baffled as to why most of the decent apps (Outlook/MSN) Aren't installed on the MDA by default :? (I'm assuming it's because they want you to TXT instead of instant message, and use THEIR e-mail service instead of 3rd parties?)
Anyway, i'm REALLY anxious to update my ROM, thanks guys
Http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/webnwalksoftware/
that is the latest supported version of software
they are bringing out webnwalk option pro that will allow 2gb uasge and no restrictions on apps using service, coming first of may
Is anyone currently using this ROM, if so, does it have MSN & Outlook on it?
(I'm assuming it'll already have the correct t-mob GPRS/3G network config?)
Thanks again.
I am running that Rom, and I can confirm that it does have MSN, but as I am using Pocket Informant I don't know about Outlook

Zoidster.... completely correct!! I misread my screen, don't know why I didn't pick it up when I copied it to the forum!!!

The ROM update is great, it's added:
- MSN Messenger/Hotmail with Pocket MSN
- Lock Today plug-in, which gives you a keylock like the menu * on Nokias.
As far as Outlooks concerned, I don't know what people mean, it has the Outlook Email, that it used to have before in the Messenging Section.
Well worth an upgrade!
ive just got back from the tmobile shop after picking up a mda pro. The sales assistant advisd me on coming here to find the latest firmware/software update as it will then run tons faster.

I'm new to this flashing lark, and to tell you the truth I see little difference from the WM5 I'm used to (and I prefer the blue spec of WM5 to the green WM6.1)
What difference should WM 6.1 have made to the device?

Nice link Tnyynt, very interesting read.
I'm avoiding the ever increasing temptation to test all these "great" roms out there because:
1. I don't know how easy it is to install them.
2. If anything goes wrong with my phone I can not sleep, eat or work til it is fixed!
Well,seems like is been unlocked already....so I don't think you should have any problem if you decide to upgrade/downgrade.Otherwise you can always unlock it yourself and even fix it.
Play with it and enjoy it after that, just decide what you want to do....but wm6 and 6.1 go really smooth,regarding wm5 blue theme I'm sure you can get it online,plus tnyynt is making some kick ass themes upon request.
Kind regards.
Hi DTA.
Thanks for the reply.
To tell you the truth, I have no idea yet how to change a rom. The phone came from ebay as it is, more or less.
BUT! This week I have learnt:
1. How to install a new theme - just need to copy a .tsk file to my device!
2. How to tweak - just insert the necessary .cab file for the tweaking program and tap on it to install!
There seem to be some great looking ROMS out there, most tempting, but as far as I can see from WIKI, changing a ROM is a lot more tricky and risky, no? I'm willing to learn, but I really need a step by step guide for dummies! (which I haven't found in "Wiki" yet).
This is a good guide www.trinityguides.info or send a PM with your questions and concerns.
lol... I just been reading that! Bizarre coincidences.
I guess it's NOT that tricky! I know I have Hard-SPL installed on my device (saw it when I flashed new Radio Ram).
So, I guess, all I need is to pick a ROM .cab file (I now know they appear as a .zip file) and do it. So many to choose from in the threads, but then you scroll on a bit and see posts from people who have run into all sorts of problems!
I don't think I'm really into all this touch-flo cube stuff. It looks cool but I wonder if it's really that useful or practical to use... so many recommended Rams out there!

the original WM5 on HTC version is Green also (puke no more blue theme) and the orange (SPV) were... orange .
well well well... windows 6.1 is as pretty as WM6 but as fast as WM5...
as always there is some bug but you can nearly solve all of them consulting this forum
i will never go back to WM5
