How to upgrade ROM?

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...

auto power on problem

Hi there,
I have a problem with my xda II. If the phone is on, the pda randomly turns it's self on.After the 3 minutes (power settings) it powers down again. This happends maybe 5 - 10 time a day. There is no popup when it happends and no application is running. I can't find any information on this forum about this problem. Does anybody have the same problem or even an solution.

Thanx for any help.

imate JASJAR is hung and even its not hardresetting

hi need immediate help imate jasjar is hung it doesnt even hard reset nor does it soft reset somebody plz help

No hard reset suggests your ROM is corrupted, which can happend given that it is not really read only. Looks like it needs a factory reset from a service centre. You could try battery removal/re-insertion but I am pretty sure it wont help. Have seen this with Symbian devices (e.g. Moto A1000) that have always used persistent storage.

sounds similar to the problem I had on my first mda pro. try taking the battery out for a day or two.

try to 'upgrade' with the latest imate version even if it was already installed, may be you can clear the corruption....

Hope this works!!!

I support the opinion of Betox.... I think this can help if you download the latest ROM and install it again on your device.
This is not the first case of ROM corruption.
Good luck.

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.

This is the current setup -
Windows Mobile 2003 SE

Radio Version: 1.12.00 (what is this for?)
Protocol Version: 1337.42
