Hello all, I'm on o2 here in Ireland I wish to update my two xda exec's. I have my main phone running an o2 rom. coded as follows
Rom: 1.30.107 WWE
Dated 04/11/06
Radio (costumed to version) 1.14.10 (found on here and works great)
ExtRom: 1.30.162 WWE
Thats my main phone. So I use it every day. Its pretty stable with the odd hang . However I want to update it to a newer AKU (I'd like to do Ivens 3.5 test 2) But want to know the best extRom to use with it. (if its got o2 settings, all the better )
My second phone, is a project phone. Just to mess about on till i decide to sell the other one. I installed Ivan's rom the other day and it seems ok. (I much rather his wireless client) But I did not update the extrom on it. So again I'd like to know the best one to use. Its coded as follows
Rom: 2.60.00 WWE
dated 12/20/06
Radio: 1.14.10
extrom: 1.13.139 WWE
I'd like to get them more up to date. So any thoughts? The phones are used for wireless access, using netfront 3.3, texts, voice calls, movies using TCMP and GPS using Route 66 V7. So really most of what they are used for is an after setup install of programs.
Ok I'm a dumbass, just seen that I dont need anything in the extrom

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
Hi,
I have been trying to plough through the messages here, but am still confused about where to start. Most of the following is probably FAQ stuff, but I cannot find much on the Wiki, but will happily add something for others.
I have the UK Orange SPV M5000 flashed with the latest Orange Rom providing:
Rom Version: 1.30.90 WWE
Rom Date: 02/24/06
Radio Version: 1.03.00
Protocol version: 42.36.P8
ExtROM version: (none) (skipped the install).
What is the best stable ROM to install to start off with? I gather that it seems to be a toss up between the QTeck and Dopol. I gather one might be missing some apps - I am quite keen to retain the voice call app, dump MSN and stick on Skype.
I have also just plugged in a 2Gb Sandisk Ultra II card with a view to start filling it with various apps and data and would appreciate any advice on the following:
- Recomendations on a Registry Editor so I can run through the recommended tweaks.
- Install a decent task manager - any recommendations?
- Install some backup software - any recommendations?
- Find and install some some sort of connection manager.
- Find and install some some sort of memory manager.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
OK, I have worked out how to upgrade the Radio ROM (to 1.10.3) and have been reading up on cooking your own extended ROM.
Bearing in mind I'm on UK Orange, what you add/subtract from the current Orange ROM to improve things?
Radio Rom 1.03 does have a few problems from what I read. The main trouble I had was when answering phone I couldn't hear anyone for a few seconds.
I am a UK Orange user and upgraded to Radio v1.09.00 and found the answer problem solved, better reception and slightly better battery performance.
Since then I am trying out the Dopod Firmware, the whole lot with Radio 1.11.00, so far no problems.
Hi,
Thanks for the response. I'm still trying to get the hang of the phone so will leave it a few more days before I play with the ROMs further.
My biggest problem is answering the calls when it is open on my desk - if I pick it up, unplug the USB, close it and then answer the answer button on the spine just doesn't seem to work. Actually it doesn't seem that reliable at the best of times.
Ultimately I'll sort out a BT headset, but was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem.
Upgrading Orange SPV M5000 where to start
I have gone through some of the postings on this great device , and would appreciate if the

Hi,
I got my MDA Pro last week, there was some weird problems with it where it would drop the signal rate everytime someone called.
When I called T-Mobile I was told I should update it, which I did...then MMS functionallity disapeared etc..
So my question now is, which ROM is the best to use with it...and where can I find it?
Cheers.
Hi Jeuk,
I followed the t-mobile site and downloaded the update (it ends up coming from some t-mobile subdomain on 3rd part site, can't remember the URL, sorry, but hunt around)
I've found it great, fast and stable (as long as you reset when it says it's installing the customisations - you can pick and choose the cabs you install, i'd recommend the mms/gprs settings more than anything else - search on here for the t-mobile cabs, or get the extended storage unlocker and install from there using total commander (also search here for these things - this site is a great resource). You don't see many complaints from t-mobile users here, I suspect they've actually pulled out all the stops and been one of the most reliable resellers of this phones.
but my GPRS is great, coverage is fantastic, bluetooth profiles all in there (including a2dp [sp?]) for bluetooth stereo with a moto hs820), fast running, few resets. All I have of the t-mobile branding is the awful colours on the case of the device. that horrible pink-tinged plastic down the button strip. really. I mean, really.
maybe I should add:
ROM: 1.20.32 WWE
ROM date: 11/16/05
Radio: 1.06.00
Proto: 42.40.P8
ExtROM: (I erased the extended rom.. crazy radical reinterpretation of READ-ONLY HTC)

Would you like to help me build a single CAB file for T-mobile settings?
I would like to take a stock WM5 install, and then include the Qtek dialer and T-mobile settings.
This should provide a very clean build. :idea:
Anyone who knows how to build a settings CAB file, your input would be greatly received!!
Latest TMobile ROM
In the latest TMobile ExtROM has anyone done a breakdown of what each of the CAB files does? ESpecially interested in those that configure the MMS settings and GPRS
Thanks
Re: Latest TMobile ROM
I found the thread that describe the cabs in the 1.12.126 rom, here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32839
i'd imagine most of the names and descriptions are the same.

Hi,
Thanks for all the replies, still having problems after the "latest greatest" update. I got the update from http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/
The MDA still hangs up on 80% of the calls, especially if you spin the screen before answering.
ROM version: 1.30.114 WWE
ROM date: 04/13/06
Radio Version: 1.10.03
Protocol Version: 42.44.P8
ExtRom Version: 1.30.232 WWE
Cheers
Hi,
Have been the owner of the M5000 for about 4 months and have a good relationship with it - well apart from being a little slow switching between portrait and landscape.
I dont have any issues with using it for PDA or phone calls.
But, looking at my device information:
Rom: 1.13.49 WWE
Radio: 1.03.0
ExtRom: 1.13.130 WWE
I think this is an old ROM.....
Have any of you upgraded from this ROM and noticed a big difference with your device? or is it best left as it is?
Sorry for a wishy washy question - but i dont want to potentially trash my device with upgrading if its not really worth it.
Thanks
Matt
hi,
i'm using 1.30.90 WWE rom and it's very stable but i saw that Orange has released a new Rom and Radio upgrade a few weeks back so i guess if you want to, just get those. I'ts meant to provide support for push e-mail. Just be sure that you have Bootloader 1.00 or above.
I have a MDA from T-Mobile with:
- IPL: 1.01
- SPL: 1.40.Olipro
- OS: WM6 CE 5.2.1933 ; Build 18533.0.7.0
- ROM: Schap's WM6 Pro 4.00 RC 25/09/2007 (FULL MODE)
- Radio: 1.16.00.00
- Protocol version: 32.53.7018.01H
I had a few problems with the No GSM, but now everything seems normal.
What improvements would you advise?
SPL to the latest 2.10 or 2.30?
Radio upgrade?
Is it possible to upgrade the Protocol Version? What does it mean?

My personal opinion..do not play with IPL/SPL unless its a die situation...try upgrading radio, i find that some radios are better than others in my device...
Learn how to cook and be a flash junkie...LOL
Most of the times I feel the GSM reception is too weak.
Improving the radio will make reception better?
Wich do you recommend me to instal?? Hermes 300
Yeah, a better Radio will improve your signal, and also save on battery life. 1.54 is the latest and seems to work well for everyone else i know
Check the hermes wiki links above and you can download it there.

Who is your provider?
My stock AT&T radio (1.40) worked good, but i prefer to use higher versions just in case...I dont have any problems with the current one that i am using right now (see signature)
Portugal TMN
I´ve seen those Rom´s for audio upgrade and have researched on how to install them, I think I can make it with sucess. However, I want your opinion on upgrading SPL before the audio update please
"need bootloader version 1.04 to upgrade your radio and ?RadioBootloader version 107 or less"
in http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
How can I check this?
I´ve update the SPL to the 2.10 Olipro and the Radio to the latest version.
However, I can´t make 3G calls, any ideias? It wasn´t working before the update either.
radio o depends on ur provider a lot.
i use 1.43 for australia. 1.54 is ltest but it sux in australia.
so get feedback from those in a similar region. 1.16 is gonna be stuffed either way, there r much better versions.
i also use htc released rom for phone os.
Well, I´ve installed the latest radio and now I´m back with the NO GSM message.
i wonder ir this is a problem with my installation, with the radio rom files, or with my PDA?
Any help please
it means u screwed it up n didnt follow instructions, and probably didnt read wiki.
get a new radio version, or do it again n reflash it.
ensure u have the right ipl/spl version n u understand the risks n bricking when u r upgrading radios.
i have completely wiped my device n bricked it doing radios. so re flash a rom of choice, reflash radios and alllow lots of hours redoing it all.
suggest u try just reflash a radio that works for ur region. be prepared to lose everything n hope u have backed it up before u starrted.
I didn´t bricked. I bought it bricked.
I´have been trying for the past week to recover it from a brick. I´ve read every tutorial in this forum, and didn´t screw up.
However, I haven´t yet found a Radio Rom that work´s stable in this MDA in Portugal TMN.
I´ve tried 1.16.00, 1.38, 1.40, 1.57 (both). When with 1.16 it worked for 2 days in a row, however after that the no gms appears once in a while.
