I am living in Alexandria Egypt. I purchased the imate XDA II ppc phone edition about 2 months ago from dubai. With the initial instalation the mms composer did not install. I asked for help at ppcw.net forum and they kindly sent me a file `default-mms` advising me to put it in the extended rom folder for which they sent a small software so that I can see the extended rom. After a hard reset the mms composer installed and I could send and recieve few mms messages , however it is very unstable and know not sending or recieving despite repeating their advice several times. Now when I click on the file default-mms it always says that one or two dll files need to be copied
I do not know what to do. I heard about your geneous work You are my only hope left Please help me
Can anybody help me out?
I have a Siemens SX56, but it doesn't have MMS capability yet. Now, I have been browsing thru the various posts, and I'm getting conflicting opinions that have been confusing me. Apparently there are two programs that can be used (both can be downloaded from this site), ezWAP and MMS Composer.
I've never upgraded my SX56 (too scared to do so), so everything is still factory default. What do I need to install so I can use MMS?
Thanks in advance, you guys are the best !!!
MMS Composer works great!
The newer versions even integrate into your standard mailbox.
thanks Bonzo! I'll definitely check out MMS Composer.
By the way, which would be the most recent version?
Thanks again!
That would be MMS_v2.0.0.13_BA_WWE_0831.CAB
I'm sorry I can't upload it, but its 2.6 MB...
Do some searching, and you should find the file..
If not, it's in the extended rom rar file under the WM2003SE thread..
i cant send or receive mms from my spv m1000. it says some were that it has a mms composer but not on mine .how do i get it working the phone is on pay as u go.bear in mind with reply iam a complete novice at this
check your rom version. the original orange rom didnt come with mms functionality. If your version is lower than 1.66.230 then it wont have MMS. The update is available on the Orange UK website here:
http://web.orange.co.uk/assets/sw/RUU_v1.1_OrangeUK_v3.66.1.230_ship.exe

mms composer
thankyou ever so much iowe u big time
No probs! If you are feeling adventurous there is a much more stable ROM (and it's WM2003 Second Edition) available for your device. It means a bit of cooking, but I did it when I had my M1000 and found it a lot more stable than the official Orange ROM. I might even still have my original files somewhere that I customised for Orange UK, if you are interested let me know and I can upload them somewhere for you.

funny u should mention that.im feeling a bit risky at the mo.if you could find the link i would love to have a go at it and any ting else you might think would benifit me on my quest for the perfect spv m1000
Just been trying to upload the files but can't seem to get access to the uploads folder. It lets me log in, just not copy any files over. Will try again later...
ok mate no worries im in no rush
Will be on the ftp in 12 minutes time. Will post the link when it is up!
Here it is!
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Himalaya/UploadsSE/
The file you want is Win2K3SE for M1000 Orange UK.rar
Just click on the HimaUpgradeUT exe and off you go!

finding it hard to get good answers....so in anybodies opinion
the 02 xda mini s
is there any updates from the origonal 1.5.4.2 WWE? if so where can i get em from?
If no updates, maybe the 02 rom isnt the most up-to-date?? and it would be better to change to i-mate? or a q-tec?...if so...which would people recommend? and where could i find them? also...would they effect my being on 02 at all or would evrything stay the same and just the device will work better?!?
what do people think?

Hello jamie,
I would think that you should at least upgrade to the qtek9100 rom if u worry that u might not turn back to the O2 provided ROM. Or if you want even better performance, you can use the latest imate ROM. But i read in posts that you cannot downgrade as the loki wizard does not work in this rom.
Anyhow, i'm using an xda mini S and using the imate rom though.
Cheers
I was wondering about this as well. I've got an O2 XDA Mini S and it all seems to be working fine (so far). I don't use it for anything spectacular though phone, diary, notebook and I have a few other apps on it. I also run spb pocket plus and spb diary, again with no particular problems.
I know the old adage, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", but are there any benefits from moving to the latest imate ROM, say?
tzehming,
You said you couldn't downgrade. Do you mean that once you put the latest imate ROM on, you can't ever go back to the original O2? Also, what's the deal with LokiWizard - is there something that needs to be done before the ROM can be upgraded?
(apologies for the dumb questions, I'm starting to get to know my way around the device)
Thanks,
John

Hello jko,
Yup u're right about having to use loki to unlock the rom. Search it in the forum and u'll find it. Just type loki.
After unlocking using the software, you can then install any rom for wizards, i.e. O2 mini xda s rom, imate rom or qtek 9100 rom. The one i'm using now is the latest one, which is the imate rom. I heard it cant be downgraded and we'll have to wait for an updated loki software to fix that. But the qtek 9100 rom can be downgraded again. I suggest u try the qtek rom as it makes the pda much faster. The O2 rom is really a turtle when opening the slider and closing it.
Hope this helps
Having read the advice above I'm going to unlock my device and flash it with the qtek 9100 ROM.
Once I've done that, what CAB files do I need to install in order to get O2 MMS and O2 GPRS working again?
Thanks,

Can't answer your question, but just a request to post back your experience once you're done. It would be appreciated.
John
well, you could again search the forum for gprs settings. u may not get the automatic setup anymore, thereby may have to do it manually. search for O2 gprs in the forum. as for mms settings, someone made a cab file, I can't remember which forum , but again, it can be searched. Try O2 mms.
hope this helps
I've got the mini S too...
First thing I did when I got it was to get rid of all the o2 crap on it... couldn't believe how slow it was even in basic mode!
I did the whole hard reset then soft reset when it says "customizing..."
This basically leaves you with a bare o2 wm5 rom without any of the customiztion installed. MMS won't work and either will GPRS.
To get these working you need to install Total Commander on your mini S and browse to the /extended_rom/ directory.
The cab files in this directory are the files installed when it says "customizing..." on a hard reset.
You can then selectively install which ones you would like to install.
There is a brief outline of what each one is on the htc wizard page on the wiki but I've made a better one I'm gonna stick on there.
You also need to input the GPRS settings and MMS settings manually and install a cab from the extended rom that creates the MMS folder in the messaging application.
After you've done all this you'll notice a considerable improvement over the o2 rom with all the crapola installed.
I've also used lokiwizard to unlock it all.
Not tried the qtek rom or the new i-mate one... as I don't use push-email or the like and haven't found any considerable bugs yet I don't need to.
I have found naggaly features which after installing the RegistryWizard, NullKbd and a few others... they seemed to be solved!
I recently updated my O2 mini S 1.5.4.... rom to the new imate one and i must give my approval for upgrading to this rom. Its faster, more stable, is much better on battery life for some reason.

Where can I get this. It does not appear to be in the Rom download area (or is it under a different name?)
its in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=42638&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
Well I successfully upgraded to the new i-mate ROM and it's MUCH faster. There's a lot less lag when sliding the keyboard in & out, and the general responsiveness of the device is considerably better.
I've managed to get GPRS working, and I've installed the MMS cab but I can't send or receive MMS's at the moment - it keeps telling me that it couldn't send the message. So I'm going to post elsewhere in this forum and check that I've got the correct MMS settings.
Overall though, I'd definately recommend upgrading to this ROM. Just remember to use Total Commander to take a backup of the O2 Extended ROM beforehand so that you've got the MMS cab-file available to install at a later date.
Excellent. Thanks for the feedback. I may well give it a go later today.
John
Code:
Just remember to use Total Commander to take a backup
Is this the one from Ghisler.com?
I downloaded this but cannot find any instructions or reference to backing up the Rom. Any idea where I can get the instructions (if there are any).
Code:
browse to the /extended_rom/ directory
I cannot see this in the Total Commander Directory list.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Just got my o2 mini s a couple of days ago and I am loving it soo far!!
However, I already encountered a couple of bugs - the system laggss REALLLI bad, like when the slider is pushed out, even when closing/running certain programs the device hangs. Also, I have seen a couple of times where the "phone" application will not load up. In all these cases I have had to do a soft reset on the device.
I am thinking of upgrading the rom - but this is my first pda, and i know nothing at all about fidgeting with the software. I don't want to mess up such an expensive phone so is it pretty easy to do?
w_2k20a:
I too want to be careful.
I have 2 phones, and my O2 Mini S is slow compared to my MDA Vario.
So I am going to try and run an update to replace the ROM on the O2 with the newer one on the Vario, and also get rid of the O2 add-ins which are what slow it down apparently.
I will try this first because I have read about so many problems with the latest I-mate one, and it is not easy to return to the original ROM if it does give problems (although it is possible it seems tricky) - I may the Imate one later if I need to.
The ROM for the Vario (along with others) is here:
ftp://[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/Tmobile/ - use password xda
Its the UK one.
But first I backed up my Mini ROM. I used awizard to do this. Read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43399
I think that you will find that using the awizard (get it from this link)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37386&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
the backup part is easy. I have done that quite successfully.
Good Luck.
I have a Vodafone v1605, which I have flashed with the Imate Jasjam rom. However, I am struggling badly to get the correct operator settings for Vodafone uk.
I have tried various cab files, as well as manually entering the settings, but all to no avail. I would now like to revert to the original shipped rom, but can not find it. Vodafone are no help at all!
Does anybody know if it is possible to download and reinstall the original shipped rom for this device.
Many thanks in advance.
Not yet. Hopefully they'll release the shipped ROM soon.
Thanks for the quick reply. :lol:
In the meantime, does anyone know how to install all of the correct vodafone uk operator settings?
Try here mate
Bloody brilliant! :lol:
Thank you so much, been searching for ages to get detailed info like this, you are a scholar and a gentleman.
Hope we can be of assistance to you in the future!
please try this file if it uplaods ok. worked for me with my Prophet.
you will need to load cad file onto phone click and install then go into messaging-then menu at the bottom of the screen- mms configuration-then servers then select vodafone as default
Vodafone Settingsv2[1].0.CAB
Cab file works flawlessly, I think I want to donate you my kidney! :lol:
