Should I flash my ROM? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

OH MATRON!!!
(sniggers witha dirty laugh :lol: )
AS a newbie, I wondered if I should indeed "flash my ROM"
I don't wont to appear thick (but I know that I am), what does it do?
Here is my blah :
ROM 1.3.2.2 ENU
ROM DATE 29TH SEPT 2005
RADIO 01.04.10
PROTOCOL 4.0.13.17
EXT ROM 1.3.2.102
WindowsMobile 5
Do I need to flash it then?
Lookin forward to your comments

Yes you probably should as you have a rather old version. My XDA Mini s has the following ROM (which I believe is the newest XDA rom to be released..)
Rom Version: 2.21.4.1 WWE
Rom Date: 03/09/06
Radio Version: 02.07.10
Protocol Version: 413.1.03
ExtRom Version: 2.21.4.101
Assuming your using an O2 XDA you can download the latest rom from the website or from the wizard FTP (I think...)..

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's the same as on my phone, and it's the most up to date version offered by o2
So the newer ROM date/ versions must just be a regional variation?
The 1.11 ROM is an i-mate ROM.
There are a few posts about it scattered about here with links to it, so you can search.
I am running it on my XDA2i now, and it resolves most of the issues with the device, the only one I have is that sometimes it will not reconnect GPRS and you have to turn on, then off the flightmode, or simply soft reset.
Yeah I'm an o2 xda2i owner on the 1.11 i-Mate ROM, and it works fine.

Do you know if this iMate ROM fixes the TomTom 5 Freeze Issue with the Traffic Updates via GPRS.
Cheers
Lee
I don't have the Traffic plugin. Ironically I had the free month trial and it ran out a few days before I upgraded to the 1.11 ROM.
Cheers

where can download the rom?
I tried www.myxda.com
But can't find any rom over there.
Pls help !
Take this: _ttp://www.qtek.nl/_BIN/AL_DT_WWE_11100_112_10200_Ship.zip
ExtROM version: 1.11.112 WWE
Prot. version: 1337.41
Radio version: 1.02.00
Date: 01/27/05
ROM version: 1.11.00 WWE
But I have the ROM for PDA2 on my Qtek2020i:
ExtROM version: 1.11.144 WWE
Prot. version: 1337.42
Radio version: 1.03.00
ROM version: 1.11.00 WWE
_ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/PDA2_WWE_11100_144_10300_ship.exe
Guys-I have been following this thread for awhile since I was skeptical about upgrading my 02 XDA IIi with a Imate PDA II Rom.
Steps I followed:
1) Using Activesync I did a full restore
2) Downloaded the Imate ROM and put the extracted files into a folder
3) Downloaded the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and dropped it in the same folder
4) Run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe twice since the first time you get an error!
5) Reset my xda IIi
6) Did a restore from Activesync
Now my XDAIIi reads
Rom version: 1.11.00 WWE
ROM Date: 01/27/05
Radio Version: 1.03.00
Protocol version: 1337.42
ExtROM version: 1.10.124
I just bought my XDA IIi from O2 Germany last week:
ROM Version: 1.11.01 GER 01/27/05
Radio Version: 1.03.00
Protocol Version: 1337.42
ExtROM: 1.11.161 GER
So the radio version appears to have been updated too on the XDA IIi compared to what you guys are running.
I am mixed up
I downloaded the PDA2 firmware from the link above to install on my XDA III but i get an error saying invalid country code
Did i miss soemthing? Do I need any special tools to flash my phone?
Read my steps up two posts!!
To upgrade, the following worked for me:
1. extract PDA2_WWE_11100_144_10300_ship.exe, use winzip, to a directory (e.g. c:\upgrade)
2. edit RUU.conf in c:\upgrade by adding following line:
[CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1
3. copy upgrade util (MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe from ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/Tools/MaUpgradeUt_noID.zip) to c:\upgrade
4. Soft reset pocket pc
5. place in cradle and connect (guest or otherwise partnership)
6. run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe - it will start and then fail
7. without resetting pocket pc run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe again
8. it will run to completion this time.
I am in the process of upgrading as we speak.
I would like to add that the first time you run the No id checker it wont fail with an error, it just doent do anything so you will have to kill the process from task manager to run it again.
I will let you know if all goes well.
Thanks for the pointers
Odd.
As I've said before, mine ran first time and upgraded without any errors whatsoever.

Ok upgrade finished.
O2 -> Imate firmware
I have a very big issue now
I tried to restore my STG backup file but active sync said that its a Device missmatch which is logical....
Now what?
I dont have another backup except this backup.stg
It won't take the stg file because the regional settings are different since you upgraded. Change your regional settings under settings to what you had before the rom upgrade! Then Backup
Also to get rid of the Imate Splash Screen download this and install!

regional settings?
I put it to the right ones.
is there a way to tell what settings to put from the backup file i have?

Extended ROM Help

I recently used a cab to unhide the extended rom on my o2 mini s. That worked with no problem. When I try ti install programs to the rom they keep failing. Any idea?

ROM date: 6/7/06
Radio version: 02.25.11
Protocol version: 4.1.13.12
Thanks

Do i need to upgrade my JAMin?

I recently purchased i-mate JAMin and the system shows the following wersions
ROM version: 2.13.9.23 WWE
ROM date: 2/23/06
Radio version: 1_02.20.21
Protocol version: 4.1.13.9
ExtROM version: 2.13.9.123

"If it's not broken - don't fix it!"
You have the latest version ROM i-mate has to offer. Unless your device has some software related issues, it's best not to mess around with the ROM.
thx 4 the quick reply.
