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
Ant

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.
Ant

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!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=5299
CB

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?

I use the latest cooked 02 Rom which has been modified to include Radio ver 1.03. You can download this from the xda-developers FTP. After install and it re-boots, select corp install, enter code 0506 within 3 seconds, the corp ver doesn't install 02 Active UI stuff. To automatically install your Mobile Operater Settings, goto this link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=26463 Download the correct cab, copy to your pda, tap to install GPRS/WAP/MMS.
Hope this is of some help.

Mobile operator link
Sorry, I didn't realise that you were not from the Uk, if you do install corp mode, let me know your Mobile operator and I will try to locate the correct cab file to install your GPRS/WAP/MMS for you and I will upload it to the link in my previous post. :lol:

cheers guys, yes i am from the uk. i'll give it a go this week! thanks

Hi Dhruv,
I've downloaded both files and run the upgrade. Unfortauntely, it fails at the verification stage where it halts with:-
Error 120:- Country ID Error
Any help?
The reasons why I am upgrading is the phone does not RING when it receives incoming calls. I need to do a soft-reset for it to work. However, after a while, the stupid phone become mute.
I am sick and tired of this buggy unit.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hello, Victortan!
After getting Country_ID error, just try to run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe one more time.
Good luck!

Hi Slash, have finally upgraded my 2i uisng the modified ROM update at the FTP site.
You are right. Need to run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe one more time.
Thanks again.
Have also solved my "no-ring" tone problem. Apparently it is caused by the Wisbar utility programs that I've installed.
Cheers.

ROM version: 1.6.7.1 WWE
date 11/28/05
radio 1.13.10
protocol 4.0.13.24
extrom: 1.6.7.101

mcalbala, could you put this ROM here or somewhere else?

@ahlok_hk
Thanks for that, very helpful!

Might I join the crowd of people who either are, or will be, begging for a copy of the 1.6.7.1 QTEK ROM?

You may find OS ROM and Extended ROM of Qtek 1.6.7.1 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37386
Or someone to put it to FTP...

I posted it already, check for details in the aWizard thread in one of the forums. At any rate, here are the links and anyone is welcome to upload it ot the FTP
http://www.richardgoodwin.com/Qtek_9100_1_6_7_ENG.zip
http://www.richardgoodwin.com/Qtek_9100_1_6_7_ENG_Extended_ROM2.zip
Note that it doesn't contain radio firmware, etc. It is just the OS and ROM2.
In return I ask for your comparison in terms of speed, included apps, stability, etc. versus your current version. Reply to forum and/or email [email protected]

Hey can anyone who has upgrade can tell us if any improvements over the older rom iam dieing to know

I have done the upgrade with the new Qtek ROM, and notice what seems to be a pretty decent speed increase... of course a hard reset was involved, so it will take a couple of days of use to know if it's the hard reset or the rom that helped.
I flashed the Dutch T-Mobile Vario rom first to upgrade the antenna firmware, then used the process listed in the other forums to update the main ROM.
The extended ROM has some sort of new protection that keeps it from being deleted. After turning the device on upon completed upgrade I had to do a soft reset within 3 seconds to keep the Dutch Vario extended rom from installing. I loaded the Qtek WWE extended ROM cabs to my memory card and installed them all by hand and everything seems fine.
I was pleased to see that the voice activation on a bluetooth headset now wakes up my phone when in standby. Previously I had to turn on my device before pushing the voice activation on my headset for it to work. Trying to bluetooth files from my Mac to a sleeping phone still failed and required me to wake it up first.
I'm pleased so far and hope the speed holds out. The Imate WWE ROM killed the speed of my device.
Someone mentioned the signal dropping out periodically after the upgrade, but I have yet to notice that. I'll keep my eyes peeled and let you know

Now if I could just figure out why my GPRS suddenly stops responding
I don't think it's ROM specific, as I have heard many complaining. It's damned annoying though and makes me want to sell it (If I do, I'll post here Probably $650 USD).

Report for new ROM
I've upgraded my ROM to 1.6.7.1 WWE and installed Radion 01.12.10.
I would say it works better than with 1.1.7 WWE (ship version at FTP). Little smoother. Radio module is better now - after SR it finds network much quicker. EDGE icon works perfect.
The latest official version of SPb Pocket Plus 3 works great with the device
The only thing i miss is Profiles for the device (set of sound settings, vibrate and phone settings).

Hi where did u get that version for dopod 838? mine is still the original rom 1.3.13.5 ENU. where can i get the WWE version? i checked out www.dopodasia.com and nothing abt upgrades? is it english version? thanks.
::adit

ahlok_hk and others,
could you give us a link from a site to download the latest radio version? And is it paramount to flash first the radio and then OS/extOS?

Cingular 8125 ROM from here.

ROM date 11/1/05
Radio Version 01.09.11
Protocol Verzion 4.0.13.20
ExtROM Verison 1.6.11.102
I will be sending this back soon so I hope this rom works. Can someone pull it from the yousendit and put it in the FTP ?

why is the cingular one 20 meg smaller than the qtek?

Which is the latest, greatest ROM out there?

Hi guys,
Been a while since I've been on here and it would seem there has been a whole load of ROM updates since I have had my Vario. Had a look in the FTP site and theres a whole selection to choose from!
Just wondered if some kind soul could advise which is the best ROM to update to?
According to my phone, I currently have:
ROM version 2.16.9.1 WWE
ROM date : 2/6/06
Radio version : 02.07.10
Protocol version : 413.1.03
ExtROM version : 2.16.9.101
Its an I-Mate ROM currently, but I don't care which ROM I put on it, as long as its the latest stable version available.
Also, is there a 'clean' version of the latest ROM? ie no crap in the extended ROM.
Cheers,
Steve.
