XDA2 ROM Version?

Latest available on O2 website is 1.60.00WWE is it not?
So what is 1.66.00WWE ???? Came with some XDAs that we received a couple of months ago.
We have "issues" with a 3rd party application and we have 1 unit that is 1.60 & seems problem free, so in the process of elimination..
Can you backwards flash the ROM?
Any issues with 1.66 if known?

Oh & ext ROM is 1.66.181 which is in contravention of website's "latest" version...

Hi Dave
Newer versions of the XDAII contain a different LCD display to the earlier versions. Basically the only difference between 1.60 and 1.66 is that 1.66 contains a display driver for the new LCD panel (plus one or two other small and "non-essential" items like a Cleartype tuner) and as such O2 are not releasing it for public consumption.
The next O2 release will be 1.72 which is due to be released soon and will contain drivers for both types of LCD panel.

Interesting... I currently have the 1.60.00WWE ROM on my XDA 2 and O2 informed me that the version currently available for download is 1.60.50WWE, which incorporates WM2003 Service Pack 1, plus a Java update. They could not tell me what Service Pack 1 added/fixed and also said that if I installed their later version, my phone could become locked again... Now I see that 1.72 is on the way, I think I will wait. Any idea on timing??

Hi cbrow51
All i've been told is 'not long'... tho knowing o2 that doesn't really mean much!
Sorry!

fofodaman excellent piece of work! I hope other readers will also add some links to that list! Keep up the good work m8!

Guys, be carefull when trying the upgrade, there seems to be major problems with the procedure.. so far, every set i tried to upgrade died and had to be revived via SD flashing.... there you have it. use at your own risk.

everything went perfect for me, except for a coutry ID error which anyway i could easely solve :wink:

hi can I use this Rom to update my MDA Compact too. thanks, if not where can I find it.

One think you have to make sure of when you are flashing a rom is that your USB cable should ALWAYS be plugged in a direct on motherboard USB and not on a USB Hub! Fofodam I guess thats why you didnt manage to flash your magician succesfully! And you also have to change the country code of those ROMS to the one of your magician! :wink:

Anybody know why the UK version is 40 meg and the others only 20?
The generic WWE I would have thought would have been the biggest? but that isnt the case.
Does the UK one have extra features?

yes, i was wondering this too. Seems a huge difference in size.

well, i've downloaded both the uk and wwe version if you extract the exe with winzip then you find that the actual files are both 60.2mb, so I'm guessing that they are the same really.

again, the difference is in the extended ROM, only.

I have an mda flashed imate rom but 141 ext rom (arabic). How can I replace this only with 1.03.143? In general how can we get the extened roms only and flsh it to a device? I tried to flash all over but I get a message '120 wrong country code' or something. I did the change.bat with WWE and GER but nothing is working. still the same reply. I want to get rid or the arabic ext-rom.

Does anybody have the ROM and could give it to Anansky for an

I made a dump of my rom on a 256 MB card prior to flashing WWE. I think it will rar to about 190 MB... if that'd help anybody

I believe so. That should be what the VPA comes preloaded with, but to be honest, I was so excited to get English on it I never checked. But it is the VPA Compact from Deutsche Vodafone

Should get smaller. I think about 25 MB....
Stefan

That's what I thought, but it only got down to ~190 MB.... I'd be willing to throw it up on my FTP server if you want to give it a shot

no if it is the complete rom it hast a bit more than 64 mb (dont know the exeact value), you MUST use a 128 or bigger card. if you use a 128 mb card the rom file will be 128 big, if you use a 256 mb card it will bei 256mb.
it is always so big as the card is.
so we will be happy if you upload it on the xda-dev ftp...
thx in advance

Hi out there,
has anyone sucessfully flashed the german ROM 1.11 to an MDAc?
Improvements? Problems? Changes?
regards
mikexy

You can get the files here:
ftp://[email protected]/Magician/Vodafone DE/
ROM Backup is a huge file with about 243 MB .......
Stefan

ok, i`ve found it and already tried to flash it. better said, i´m currently on the way to flash the MDAc with this ROM.
I had little troubles, but after i have backuped my old ROM and changed the first 416 bytes of the german VPA rom it works..
regards

now here's a dumb question... I'm thinking of restoring my VPA backup image so that I can steal some of the secondary rom cabs so that I have the vodaphone custumized settings. My phone is currently flashed to WWE 1.11. Do I need to copy the first 416 bytes of my WWE over my German one to install it?

Another stupid question:
I have a MDA compact with 1.01.01 ROM, no sim lock.
Is flashing with a new rom always preserving the sim lock status?
i.e. I will not end up with a vodafone sim lock?
Cheers
Mundl

You don't have to flash your magician.
Just take the cabs from the xda-dev ftp!
If you have an unlocked magician flashing won't lock it. The lock isn't part of the ROM!

Hi!
Is the ftp-server down? I can't get access to ftp. Not with anonymous nor with my account data. Or did I miss something. Sorry, if this is a stupid question.

Which is the best ROM for Magician?? Put your comments

Which ROM is best (in terms of Stability, Performace and Features) for Magician?? Is it I-Mate, O2, Qtek or MDA?? Please put your comments to get a feel for everybody for best ROM in the world for Magician.

Q teck 1.11 or qteck 1.12
I have an imate jam and i have had qteck and imate roms and imate always has more buggs and slower

i've been using 1.12 for a few days, i noticed less echo, and tomtom 5 works good (so far)
it looks faster for me, but not sure

Please put which ROM make and version not the version alone...

It doesn't matter whether it's Qtek, iMate, Vodafone or whoever. AFAIK the differences are in the Extended_ROM dir only (ok, they'll put their boot logo in it, but that's it).
So I sit and wait for 1.12 in German language - I don't care for the manufacturer.

1.12 Imate version for me Faster....no bluetooth problems.....and no echo! BTW tomtom 5 works like a dream

I have currently upgraded to Imate 1.12 WWE . Going smooth so far, no issues.

1.12 wwe , extended Rom 1.12 arabic ,
Very fast , so far , so good

I put it up on the ftp, but haven't had a chance to run it yet.

I'd like to know where this came from..??

did anyone test it????

I will do as soon as I know where it came from..??

Just flashed it without any problems. Can confirm that it is the original Qtek shiped Rom dated 28. November 2005. Have fun

came from expansys. details here
http://howardforums.com/showthread.php?p=6544725#post6544725

Many thks guttrhead.. Will be flashing as soon as my unit is fully charged.

Just flashed this ROM, works OK.
Solves the problem with phone wakeup from BT Headset button press.

After flash how many RAM total have Wizrard? 50MB or only 44MB?
Thanks

Total : 47.46MB
In use : 4.26mb
Free : 43.20MB
Everything seems much quicker compared to the K-jam rom I had previously. Used to hang quit a bit.

The first shipment Qtek WWE Rom has size ~45mb.
This brand new shipment Qtek WWE Rom has size ~52mb.
Why there is this difference between sizes?

Thanks a lot
I 'm trying to flash my dopod 838. I will be back.

Hi,
I wanna try this ROM, but I thought I´d ask if anyone has updated a swedsih sold Qtek 9100 with this one with success?
Does the ROM include fulll Swedish language?
thx / fahlis

Hi fahlis,
I've upgraded my Swedish Qtek with that ROM, no problem whatsoever.
You just need to unlock your device first with lokiwiz utility: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33796
It is English ROM so if you would like to continue to use Swedish OS, don't use it. If yes, you need to install Default_Prodigy_Nordic_keyboard_1102.sa.CAB package to change the hardware keyboard layout back to nordic. You will find this package from this zip file ftp://xda:[email protected]/ExtRom_1030712_121_10410_Qtek_NOR_Ship.rar. To get Swedish keyboard on your screen you should install Skandinavisk tastatur for PocketPC which you will find at http://www.epocket.no/tastatur/
/Priit

Hmm wonder whyI had 2 copys of my post here..oh well, thx for the info.
Will see what I will do, one question, what ROM version did you have prior to flashing into this one?
Have you seen much improvement, and if so with what?
And btw I believe my Qtek is unlocked already, I bought it straight from Qtek Sweden as a reseller.
thx / fahlis

Original ROM was 1.3.7.13 SVE but I had already upgraded to 1.6.2.4 WWE (T-Mobile version).
Your device is most definitely locked - it's not SIM locked, but country locked. Try to run ROM upgrade and you will find out.
/Priit

Ok, thx for the info, and what about the improvements?
Is it worth the effort to upgrade in your opinion?
