PPC2003 on Asian XDA

Did someone upgrade his/her Asian XDA (EN language) to PPC2003 ?
Any problems ?
From what version (sw/radio) ?
Let's exchange our experiences.
Thanks,

Yes, I did. I upgraded my XDA from the shown in O2 Asia to:
ROM Ver: 4.00.01 ENG
ROM date: 05/16/03
Radio Ver: 4.21.00
Protocol Ver: 32S54
So far so good.

Dear beeheij,
how come did you upgrade radio version to 4.21.00 ? Did you get it from non-asian O2 web sites (UK) ?
On this page http://www.myxda.com/web/template/SoftwareUpgradeIntro.vm
you can find latest versions as follows for Asian XDA:
ROM version: 3.14.17 ENG
ROM date: 10/11/02
Radio: 4.17
Protocol: 32S54
Did you use wm2003.exe (obtained from here) with cradle and USB ?
Did you check GPRS, GSM, ... ?
Thank you !

Hi Brix3,
I did upgrade the RSU from O2UK. My XDA original version of ROM and RSU was the one that is provided by the O2-Asia. I upgraded the RSU from O2UK because I thought I could get an improvement on the signal reception, but it seems to be useless. In fact, my wish is to get back to the RSU 3.17, but I could not. I got all sort of error messages, and it is dangerous to play around with RSU. The signal meter in RSU 4.21.00 seems to be unreliable and poor.
Yes, I upgraded my ROM with the WM2003.exe using ActiveSync 3.7. The GPRS and GSM are all working well so far. I like WM2003, in particular because of the SMS facilities.
Let me know if I could be of help further.

yeah well i tried wm2003 on my xda, but things got worse. i got pops in my calls, frequent disconnections and basically very poor connection. loved the OS, a bit slow though, but nevertheless i'll wait for the latest version. now on SER 1.2, a lot nicer, but very cluttered!

help updating rom?

i am new to this site and new to this mobile (o2 xda mini its htc made), i got this from my brother who rarely uses it.
the specs are
rom version: 1.3.13.5 ENU
rom date: 9/29/05
rom version: 01.12.10
protol version: 4.0.13.23
extrom version: 1.3.13.116
i know that are postings regarding new rom and upgrades, but i dont understand all this tech stuff, it will be helpfull if someone just give me the link from where to download the latest rom in english. that works well
thanx and waiting for a reply

I just used Molski's excellent 30MB-free G3 ROM which I got from
ftp://xda:[email protected]_226102_22610105_022511_WWE-30MB.exe

i had read alot in this forum and had found this ROM
Xda® Mini S Upgrade
ROM version 2.21.4.101
Radio version 02.07.10
from
http://www.o2.co.uk/xda,
dated april 2006, its 50 mb filw in size. i am downloading it.
but before installation could any one tell me whether this is the latest and worh to download or something else(newer or better) is there which i can download and use.

I have a tmobile mda and i downloaded the new radio rom 2.47 and it tells me i cant use that udate utility. Help anyone. thanx

Just got off the phone with tmo and their going to email me the unlock code and instructions on how to do it for my mda( 24-72 hours) after i unlock I'll ask more questions . I been reading around and it seems your phone has to be unlocked for most of these roms to work. So I'll be back in a few days!!

Tytn Radio Problems

hi folks!
i have a problem using my tytn. when i move around to areas with dead spots my mobile seems to crash. well, not the tytn, but the radio rom.
situation:
im talkin to someone with 3-5 bars. hangin up, and switch to standby mode.
then i put it in my pocket (jeans, or whatsoever)..
moving down in the cellar with heavy walls.
Now the tytn iss in standby. when i try to phone it (from another mobile) its just unreachable. so, i switch it on, and i see 3 or 5 bars.
when im trying to make a call it does not work. some seconds later the tytn recognizes that a "netsearch" will be great.
after that it is reachable.
strange thing, just because if i dont touch it, it is unreachable for days..
any suggestions?
i have
Rom version: 1.35.255.2
Radio version: 1.18.00.10
ext. Rom: 1.35.255.102
it is almost useless, because i'm never shure if its reachable or not.
thanks for helping me.
the_cheat

well, updated to 1.20 (radio rom) and unfortunately.. no changes..
my herm100 is not goin to recognize that there is no radio tower.
... and if there's a new... connect to a new one...
my next step is a downgrade to 1.16
i read many of all the threads in this forum and 1.16 seems to be the most stable.
tomorrow i can tell u more of my progresses.

I have posted this elsewhere but would repeat this over here.
I had exactly the same problem with my new Jasjam (S/N Ht647XXX).
The ROM originally (factory installed) when I received my Jasjam is detailed below:-
ROM Version: 1.31.305.2
ROM Date: 8th September 2006
Radio Version: 1.21.31.10
Protocol Version: 32.53.7020.01H
Ext ROM Version: 1.31.305.104
Bootloader Version:1.06
I then went to the i-mate site and downloaded the latest ROM available which is detailed below:-
ROM Version: 1.20.305.3
ROM Date: 21st July 2006
Radio Version: 1.07.03.10
Protocol Version: 32.41.1010.02H
Ext ROM Version: 1.20.305.104
Bootloader Version:1.04
This change of ROM from the one which was supplied with my jasjam to the one available on the i-mate site has totally resolved my problem.
It is rather strange that the ROM available on the i-mate site which the site says is the latest ROM available is actually older than the one which came installed on my jasjam. The only logical reason could be that i-mate realized that the ROM being shipped with their new devices has a problem and have therefore not made it available on their site.

The phone is not ready. Wait 15 seconds and try again.

ok so i too have had the message
"The phone is not ready. Wait 15 seconds and try again."

but after alot of experimenting i have found a solution. i thought i'd post this to help anyone else out with the same problem!
I bought an M600 on orange PAYG however on inserting my orange contract sim i can use the phone but cannot send SMS messages or adjust phone settings, if i attempt to all i get is the message above.
having spoken to orange about this several times it turns out to be a sim compatibility issue. orange however do not support sim swapping all they can do is send out sims compatible with the handset they sent you! i.e the N73 i got on upgrade.
So my solution, i paid imei-check to CID unlock the phone, i actually already unlocked the phone using lockiwiz but that will only remove the simlock on a G4 and AFAIK imei-check are the only people to unlock the CID.
once unlocked i backed up the shipped rom to SD as described in the prophet WIKI (just in case i needed to restore it to orange settings) and then upgraded the rom.
i tried several shipped roms and eventually found this rom the
RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_?QtekWWE_Ship.exe
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to not only work but also be in english. its a great rom, very basic without all the junk orange supply as standard
I don't really know why this has solved my problem i think its something to do with the radio rom but whatever it is it works perfectly!
below is my phones new info, if someone with the orange Rom could post the same I'd be interested to compare the versions.
ROM version: 2.20.7.34 WWE
ROM date: 7/10/06
Radio version: 02.47.21
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.24
ExtROM version: 2.20.7.114
I hope this helps someone out there!

for discussion purposes
That sounds weird why it works like that since my understanding of unlocking CID was merely so that one could install different ROMs. Someone pls correct me if I'm wrong here.

it is!!!! i needed to update the rom to get it to work! as above i stated that i changed from the orange rom to the qtek one, hence CID needs to be unlocked
So my solution, i paid imei-check to CID unlock the phone, i actually already unlocked the phone using lockiwiz but that will only remove the simlock on a G4 and AFAIK imei-check are the only people to unlock the CID.

Afaik, if you remove IPL/SPL from the ROM (There should be tutorials somewhere around here on how to do it) you don't have to CID unlock your phone.

I would really like to try this! I am always getting the same error so often whenever I send a new sms. I have an i-mate JAMin, prophet touch X ipl&spl 2.20, gsm 2.69. I can't find the ROM you're talking about in the xda-developer's ftp. Can you please upload it? Thank you so much!

its on the wiki page
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_ROMs

Okay If I installed this, do I have to reinstall wm6 and then my current ROM again(Prophet Touch X)?

yes i expect so, i'm no expert, thats just the way i solved the problem on mine!
i think it has to do with the radio rom version

You can update the radio ROM without having to change the normal ROM.

I am currently using v2.69. Does it mean I have to downgrade or test other versions? How about you? What version are you using guys?

hey as i stated, i'm not entirely sure what eaxctly it was that the replacement rom fixed but it did fix it!
Are you guys using orange M600s? whats your rom info?
mine was:
ROM version: 2.20.7.34 WWE
ROM date: 7/10/06
Radio version: 02.47.21
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.24
ExtROM version: 2.20.7.114
unfortunately i had my phone stolen so i can't help much more than that.

Okay I have fixed mine. I tried all versions but only version 2.30.21 of Radio ROM only fixed my problem. Thanks guys for all the help.

I had the same issues, updated my M600 to the above ROM and it now works perfectly

wow - does that mean you guys are using a 3g sim in a orange m600??
if so - what is a radio rom (and what does it replace?)
can you run these radio roms with wm6.1? or does it mean going back to 5?
sorry for all the questions i am despirate to get my phone working!!

I have a similar problem, going to try the rom you recommended but thought I'd post my pre-rom stats.
below is my phones new info, if someone with the orange Rom could post the same I'd be interested to compare the versions.
ROM version: 2.20.7.34 WWE
ROM date: 7/10/06
Radio version: 02.47.21
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.24

ROM date: 2/16/06
Radio version: 02.07.20

Official Orbit 2 Rom Update - what has changed?

Hi there,
o2 released a new ROM for the Orbit 2. Does anyone know what has changed?

Where was this "released"?

Here. It's the german support website, but I thought that o2 provided it to all other customers as well.

thanks,
its a pity it is not an English ROM - that would have been zweet!

RUU_signed.nbh is dated 17 March... Really intriguing... Could this be real WM6.1?

Knowing O2 it is likely to be a badly put together cooked ROM that is waaaaaaaaay surpassed by Bepe's.
BEPE IS KING OF THE ORBIT 2 ROMS!!!

It was posted today, because i was yesterday on the site and they did not have the update, i will installed when i come home, I'm in the office

In your opinion.

So, I installed it.
On startup it shows
R 1.58.24.14
G 25.69.30.05H
D 1.28.00.00
It's CE OS 5.2.1623 (Build 18129.0.4.5)
So nothing revolutionary.

any clue of video performance improoved?

Apparently it's just a minor maintenance update fixing various smaller problems e.g. with the radio. Another improved area are handovers when roaming nationally (since Germany's o2 uses the T-Mobile network in some areas). In the linked forum (german) a comparison of the old and new version is given:
New:
ROM Version: 1.28.207.2 GER
ROM Datum: 02/25/08 (ROM Date)
Funkempfängerversion: 1.58.25.14 (Radio Version)
Protokoll Version: 25.69.30.05H (Protocol Version)
Old:
ROM Version: 1.24.207.2 GER
ROM Datum: 12/06/07
Funkempfängerversion: 1.58.21.23
Protokoll Version: 25.65.30.04H
Video performance presumably remains unchanged and from what I could gather so far, this update did excite absolutely nobody..

Hmm, wasn't the 1.58.25.14 Radio the one which caused
most troubles with the Bluetooth dies, not connecting to WLAN and
others. Thought I had seen something in several threads, and
most did not recommend to use this one and better use the
1.64.08.21 And now it is used in official
upgrade ?! Hmm, maybe the same as with the Murata Radio...
Same build no., other content?

It´s perfect for modder ! The Garantieproblem is over . But, without changelog is this update a riddle.

This is not exactly true. The Murata Radio read 1.58.21.23 on my Polaris whereas I remember the original Radio to be 1.58.23.21. So apparently the Murata Radio is older than the Radio the Polaris initially shipped with, at least the o2 Xda orbit 2 version from the companys German offspring.

I DO have .23.21...
Also earlier, I got confused when giving people Radio-ROM recommendations because I recommended .23.21 (which was my original) and I usually got answers asking me if I meant .21.23. Over time, this was very confusing, now with the new Radio I checked and I do have .23.21.

Never heard about a .23.21 version
But... anyway, this doesnt affect the circumstance, that the
new one (.25.14) is exactly the one, you claimed, to make problems
with reception, WiFi and so on. And now it's official O2 radio

Now it's time for me try some cocked ROMs
I bought my orbit2 a month ago.
Now that there is a official ROM available for the guarantee cases.
It's time for me to try some of the cocked roms here!!
Finally, I can turn my Orbit 2 into English version!!
Any suggestions about good cocked ROM that I should start with.
