How to upgrade ROM? - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Hi all. I'm new to this world here, but have been using my Himalaya (or o2 as we know it here in Indonesia) for the past half year now, and am loving it.
The only drop of rain in my otherwise sunny day of using my o2 is that my bluetooth refuses to receive files from other mobile phones, most noticeably from Nokia phones. I understand I can upgrade the ROM of the phone, so that the bluetooth works better. Under my Device Information, the below is listed:
ROM version: 1.66.00WWE
ROM date: 02/20/04
Radio version: 1.08.00
Protocol version: 1337.18
ExtROM version: 1.66.165
I'm also using a Win XP computer, and want to learn how to upgrade my ROM. Please help me with this...

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.
Cheers

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
Ant
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?

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
any one will tele me if i need to upgrade.
"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.

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.

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.

O2 XDA Mini II

Hi Folks,
Great site.
I live in Queensland, Australia and speak English.
Just bought myself a second hand O2 XDA Mini II off Ebay. Great phone/pda with bluetooth gps setup.
Have a few questions seeing as I am very new to this and am hoping some of you guys can possibly help so I dont stuff up my phone.

This is the current setup -
Windows Mobile 2003 SE
ROM version: 1.12.00 WWE (what does WWE stand for?)
ROM Date: 05/28/05
Radio Version: 1.12.00 (what is this for?)
Protocol Version: 1337.42
