Where to find Extended ROM version number

When I click on the "Device Information" icon and check on the Version tap I cannot see the Extended Rom Version. What I see is the following:
ROM version: 1.03.00 USA
ROM date: 09/24/03
Radio version: 1.05.14
Protocol version: 1337.14
Where can I find the Extended ROM version.
thanks
the only place I see the version is in the nbf header of the ms_.nbf file.
it is not stored in the binary partion of the diskonchip, not in the registry.
I have not looked through all the cabs in the extended rom, maybe there somewhere.
Hi itsme, there is a file called version.sa.cab, I run that one but it did not seem to do anything. I still have not found the verision number of my extended rom.
Thanks anyways for the tip, if anyone should find a way, please post it.
aha, looking at it, it contains this:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\3rdversion]
"MSYSTEM"="1.58.01"
so that is where the version is then.
Great, thanks, itsme, was quite certain that someone had that answer.
So for
ROM version: 1.03.00 USA
ROM Date: 09/24/03
Radio version: 1.05.14
Protocol version: 1337.14
Extended ROM 1.03.31
If this is of use to anyone, provided I can get it out of the machine by using WinXP and USB, let me know and I post it. Would need programs and instructions to do so.
Mine is a UK XDA-2 with the t-mobile 1.60 rom on it, and the extended rom area is visable and the files have been removed so i can put a small TomTom Map on there
under device information / version i get.

BlueSpoon Digital issues

Have updated my ROM to 2.06.00WWE, and finally my BlueSpoon Digital started to work.
Nevertheless, the following issues still persist:
1. When connected, the BlueSpoon answers the call automatically. It does not allow me to decide whether to answer or not the call.
2. I cannot initiate a voicedial from the BlueSpoon, though I have installed the VoiceSignal software.
I would highly appreciate any help.

how to downgrade rom at mda charmer tmobile qtek s110

hello!
i'm reading threw the forum since 10am 8 hours now and i didn't found how to solve my problem. (excuse my english when it is not good)
i have following configurations: (2 PDAs) from T-Mobile Austria Qtek 110? S110? On the box stands MDA compact II

MIDletManager from Tao Group Limited
Runtime JTWI 1.0: v10.1.7.666 (Build 20051117)
I explane you my problem and why i need your help:
I have a software running in the MIDletManager which is running without any problems on the 1. PDA.
When I trie the software on the new 2. PDA the program works, but it does not work like at the 1. PDA (the program is graphically personated in a other way, and the MIDletManager has a other look and a other way in which he works).
That is my problem because the software has to look, work and run like on the 1. PDA
Is there a way to downgrade the MIDletManager? Or do i have to downgrade the 2. PDA? How can i downgrade the PDA? Which programs do i need? How do i flash the ROM if i want to downgrade? Is it possible to downgrade? questions questions questins
I already called and asked @T-Mobile but they have no solution for my problem and cann't help me!!!
I count on you *HELP*
thank you
There might be a quick and dirty way of solving your problem. If you had spent enough time on this matter, you ought to know which files are responsible for the Midlet (or you can do a research now).
Get these files from PDA1 and copy it them into PDA2, it should write on the storage memory. When WM5 sees a copy of a file with the same name, same location, it will execute the one in storage memory instead of the one in the ROM.

Can I upgrade Radio Rom?

Hey guys, I was wondering if I could upgrade the Radio Rom. I tried to find out what my Radio Bootloader was through the WIKI site but could not get the commands to work. All I know is that I have:
Rom Version: Schap's 4.01
Rom Date: 10/03/07
Radio Version: 1.16.00.00
Protocol Version: 32.53.7018.01W
ExtRom Version: 4.01.20071111
IPL: 1.01
SPL: 1.40.Olipro
I think that I need a newer Radio Rom as that one seems a bit old. The phone takes about 1.5 seconds to come back from sleep when clicking the power button.
You will have no problems upgrading radio. My phone started with 1.16 and is no up to 1.54.
sure, you can update the radio.
i suggest upgrading your IPL/SPL to HardSPL 7 or 9. i am currently using HardSPL 9 (2.60 Olipro), at the very least if you have a corrupted radio flash you will have your system bootable instead of a dead brick.
check out the ftp repository for xda-developers, you will be able to find v7 there (v9 is in the upload folder, but make sure you _only_ use it if you know what you are doing.)
Definitely upgrade SPL first, also do a little reading around, some radio roms work better in some countries than others and better on some network providers.
