You should alwaya go with the newest ROM ... and I think it's ROM 1.6.7.1 WWE.

Not necessarily - there are issues with that version, e.g. WiFi bugs and locked Extended ROM. Best one IMHO so far for speed, reliability and memory is this

I have the above ROM and it works fine (I downgraded from 1.6.7.1 UK) but I just hate the splash screen. A good rom compilation, but a half-assed splash screen... :?

Just do a basic install when it asks you and then delete the 2 o2 icons in the startup folder.

No new WM2003 ROM has had wmodem so far, so if you need that you have no other option than to stay with PPC2002.
XDA developer Peter Poelman
I WModem is not a problem I do not use it but it would of been nice if it were included in the ROM. Does 4.00.11 ENG have the "test only not for resale" splash screen? AND how is the GPRS on this ROM version ?

Haven't personally used it yet, but suspect pretty much the same as on 4.00.05, otherwise we would have heard it here by now.
I'm assuming 4.00.11 is ok on my Asian version xda, my question is, is it more stable than the 4.00.05?
Do 4.00.11 have the problem of going back to 4.00.05
or another rom version?
4.00.11 is probably only a minor bugfix relative to 4.00.05, and there's no problem going back to anything else: 'Programme A' still works. It only doesn't work after you flash a T-Mobile 4.x ROM (4.00.10 or 4.00.16).
Come to think of it: Has anyone seen the SD-card erase problem on .11 or .16 ?

*knock on wood* I have been running the 4.00.16 version since Thursday morning, and no SD erasures.
Well I have flash in the 4.00.11Rom which turns out
to be a "non" event. Everything is exactly the same.
After a solf reset I even have all my short cuts back. Activesync recognise a new rom and I have to reestablish partnership.
The cache problem I think Ive been having with PIE is still there. I now think its the usual behaviour of PIE which Ive only now noticed because Ive been playing with ByteCounter.
Thankfully Ive never any problem with sd erasure with
this rom or the previous 4.00.05.
WM2003 is a great great upgrade and has given new leash of life to my Xda. I may never need XDA2 now, that is if I can resist sd wifi
SD card erased
Unfortenately this morning my SD card has been erased under 4.00.16 cooked in Jeff's kitchen. I had no earlier this problem under 4.00.10 and 4.00.05.
Jerome, in Jeff Summers's Kitchen ROM, if you choose : 4.00.11 ENG , not the T-Mobile one, the splash screen, is the "xda developers's one and not the anoying "test only not for sale" ; I did it and allis fine with nice stuff more in ROM ... :wink:

Tmobile ROM dated 08/12/2005

Hi
Has anyone installed this version of the ROM available here http://www.iris-global.com/t_mobile_download/download_manager_mda_vario.html
what does it fix cosmetic or software issues ??? 802.11g maybe???
Would be interested to know before i load it up..
Baz
Why is it on such a weird site? Iris-global?
I'm downloading it to check if it's save, but I'm having second thoughts about trying it. Dunno wanna f*ck up my wizard. :roll:
there is nothing wrong, its the official t-mobile download site!
jim
just completed the update, no noticable differences except it is damn fast!!!! Would be interested to know what the official differences are though.
It's just the version that shipped with the UK devices.

Same experience, no noticable difference but it's alot faster then the dutch shiped ROM. And much more stable too.
I'm liking it so far.
Edit: Found a new program called streaming video, not 100% sure if i had this on my Vario when I bought it. :?

It is on mine, Rom dated 09/29/05.
If I can find links to this new rom from the official uk tmobile homepage then I will be installing it today.
Can anyone say if the 802.11G problem (or lack of support) is addressed in this update?
Which rom would you people recommend - this T-Mobile ROM or the I-Mate K-Jam Rom? any opinions?
Hmm I'm still not convinced this is an OK download, can anyone walk me through getting to the site from http://www.t-mobile.com/ or http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/

Although the rom version is updated to 1.6.2.4. (WWE), the rom date is from 11/15/05.
But it's working like a charm.
Hi everyone i'm really new to the wizard but still wanna have my device up to date. I'v had the Vario for a week now and my ROM version is: 1.3.2.2 ENU and the ROM date is 9/29/05. I have downloaded this new ROM but should i update my VArio with it or not. I cant really tell if i need to or not. Sorry for bein a noob just too new to all this. Thanx to all replies.

It's entirely up to you. If you're current Rom is working well, upgrading isn't really necesarry. I was having alot of problems (constant lockups, slow, etc) with the dutch Rom I got when I bought it. Thats why I removed the CID lock to install an alternative Rom.
So far there arent any Roms out with major updates for increased hardware performance, these should come out late jan/begin feb and I read T-Mobile won't bring one out till late march.
Been trying the WWE T-Mobile rom since last night, and it's still working great. Haven't had time to install my applications yet, but it's allready alot faster and more stable then the Q-Tek (Dutch and WWE), i-mate and O2 Rom's i've tried.

you will need to soft reset your device. To install this ROM on your device you will need to use the lokiwiz program, then you can install the file to your phone.
Hope that helps

Is mine even newer?
I wonder if going back to the TMO version would help any? My QTEK came with this:
ROM 1.6.7.1 WWE
ROM Date: 11/28/05
Radio Version: 01.13.0
Protocol 4.6.13.24
ExtROM: 1.6.7.101
It seems a bit poky, and battery life seems horrible

Qtek 9100 1.6.7.1 ROM available

This is buried in some other threads, so here you go
(First off, I take no responsibility! Dumped using aWizard tools, and you can find more info in that thread on these forums.)
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
Here are the links and anyone is welcome to upload it to 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.
n return I ask for your comparison in terms of speed, included apps, stability, etc. versus your current version. Reply to forum....
how do we install the nba?
Here's the thread with aWizard. http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37386
It's very easy...connect via usb, make sure Activesync is connected, then (going from memory here, but the tool will prompt you anyway )
Enable RAPI
Unlock (if not using a Qtek)
'w' to write the file
cross fingers and wait for phone to reboot
But again, only do it if you're comfortable! I am no Qtek representative
Ouch, i got rom-version 1.3.7.13 ... Is it many new fixes in this one?

extended rom version?
What is the difference betwen the normal and extended rom version?
I unlocked (also CID unlocked) mine SPV M3000 and run now a Qtek 9100 version on it...
Hi Sorry if this is a stupid question,
but I'm assuming that the ROM upgrade - http://www.richardgoodwin.com/Qtek_9100_1_6_7_ENG.zip
will update the OS ONLY (ie WM5) and NOT alter the contents of the Extended ROM??
I ask because I want to keep my T-mobile UK customisations (Found in the extended ROM) as they have my internet settings etc. I dare say one day I'll get around to finding out what they are so I can ditch the T-mobile stuff.
P.S Just in case I have backed up my extended ROM stuff just in case
Thanks in advance
John
Correct, the OS is the OS, the Extended ROM is separate
Anything cool in that Tmobile Ext ROM?
Not really, it seems to customise the look of the PDA - easily altered using Pocket Plus, and it sets the IE homepage and settings. What all the others do is anybodies guess??
Mine has these:--Seems a lot- I wonder what they all do and whether they are really needed??

Hi Mate,
Could you tell us what is your after-upgrading Windows Version is?
Mine is 5.1.70 (build 14406.1.1.1), if your WM5 version differs then there is at least one reason to upgrade my Qtek9100 rom (1.1.7.9). Otherwise it seems that 1.6.7.1 is the same as 1.1.7.1 in terms of OS
Thanx in advance
Sorry if this is a silly question, but can I use this on my O2 XDA mini s?
Will I lose or gain anything over the O2 ROM (that was shipped with the handset)?
The one feature I REALLY want is A2DP so I can use my bluetooth stereo headphones.
Thanks for any advice.

extended rom ?
Hi
I'm new so I might asked stupid questions
I got my PDA for 3 day and thanks to the posts here, I unlocked,
put some other firmware on it etc...
What is not clear for me at the moment is the extended rom issue ?
Is this a sort of addition ?
Can anyone help this newbie ?
Heya rgoodwin,
What was the original source of your ROM? Did you modify it in any way? The ROM that TMO UK offers is version 1.6.2.4, so yours appears a bit more "advanced".
Sorry if this info is posted elsewhere - I even went to your site, rgoodwin, and couldn't find a listing. Nice low carb story, btw!
Can you update the ROM without losing any data on the device?

RUU_Prodigy_1060701_101_11310_QTEK_WWE_Ship

I put it up on the ftp, but haven't had a chance to run it yet.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Up...U_Prodigy_1060701_101_11310_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
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?

Hi. I have an MDA G3 running xelecin's 2.26 cooked ROM and the 2.47 radio upgrade. I've been having problems with my phone freezing.. Is this a common problem with all ROMs, or do i have an out of date ROM? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
I tried several ROMs!
Most 'home cooked ROms' had problems and issues, so, finally I decided to go with an official ROM and had no further problems!
what's the latest "official" version for the MDA G3?
What language and which network provider?

USA and T-Mobile.. i read that they don't make a WM6 ROM. I just downloaded a file called "crossbow_reloded_ver1.5.zip" Is this a ROM?
Thanks,
Yep, you will have to unzip it!
Don't be disappointed if that WM6 ROM will not work properly!
The latest official T-Mobile USA ROM is 1.26.2 and can be downloaded at the T-Mobiles homepage! It is almost the latest version. Only T-Mobile Germany has a newer WM5 (AKU3.3) available, bit since that one is in German I do not think you want that?
All available WM6 ROMs are 'user-created', either ripped off from other devices (with other hardware) or build up from a BETA which was around for a while. Most of them have software added which you might not want! Lots of them are even stripped down to get more free available memory in the MDA.
Until now I couldn't find any WM6 cooked ROM without any issues ... that is why I stick with the official one.
Beside that 'cool VISTA look' and HTML support in email (pocket outlook) I could not find any improvements from version WM5 anyway!
HTML email you can get by installing FLEXMAIL 2007 on your MDA, so, why bother and risk to end up with a brick?
I have to respectfully disagree. WHile cooked WM6 roms aren't perfect, I've been running a few now that perform for me better than any stock rom from a provider has ever worked for me. It does really depend on how much your use your phone and what all you do with it to find the right rom for you (so I finally made my own, which is the Crossbow Reloaded v1.5 you have.). I'll admit, its not perfect, but it fits my use. I'll probably be tweaking it some more in the next week or so as I continue to try to "perfect" the rom...
i haven't installed crossbow reloaded 1.5 yet.. so all it does is change the OS part? should i change my radio from the 2.47 one to that UK radio rom that's going around.. eventhough i live in the usa.. also, did you have to downgrade the ROM before upgrading?
Thanks,
-Adam

What is the latest Official ROM of TMobile?I just find 2.21 ROM in http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/download_manager_mda_vario.html.
Is this latest?
And what about 2.26 final of Molski?Is it stable?My wizard is G4 chip!
goto t-mobile.com and search for MDA ROM; 2.26 is the latest official ROM..
Where can I go to get the latest faria ROM? is it the crossbow-reloaded 1.5 ROM, or something else..? I download Molski's latest ROM (the one the the 8MB page pool).. it's the one from his website under the "latest ROM" link.. I can't figure out which to use.. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Let's try if you want to know.But if you want a stable ROM,let's use WM5 official.It's reason i want to find a latest offical ROM.2.21 is aku 2.0 ROM.So i can't restore clock on task bar.I'm using Molski 2.26 final.But it's cooked ROM.I think it can't more stable than official ROM.Is it true?
