Hi there
i recently purchased my 02 XDA mini S
its ROM version is 1.5.4.2 WWE
its radio version is 01.09.10
Ive been reading a lot on this site and it seems obvious that when you first buy them there not as good as they can be!!
There are lots of people talking about lots of different ROMs and im slightly confused!!!
What would be the best one for me to instal (if i need to at all), why would it be better than what i've already got? and how i can go about doing it?
Im quite knowledgable about technicle stuff so im not a complete rookie but any help would be GREATLY appreciated
look foward to hearing replies
thanks!!

the last one from i-mate seems to be ok... or you can try the one from qtec 1.6.7.1 rom
why it would be beter? its like updating your pc... bugs are fixed... new things added and so on...
you need to CID unlock your device before putting other rom in to it... you can do that with this progy http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33796

I bought my O2-XDA in the netherlands about 18 months ago. It's quite an early version and was looking into upgrading the ROM's.
However, I hear that one has to be extra careful in selecting the correct ROM pak for the phone and identifying "my phone" seems to be a problem.
Indeed, when registering for this forum, I was asked for my ROM versions, but neither of mine are in the list :shock:
My Versions are as follows:
ROM 3.02.00 ENG
date 05/27/02
Radio 4.01
Prot 324e2
I've experienced the usual crashes and leaking resources, but I suppose it's not been a bad phone, but I'm tempted to have a go at upgrading.
What are your thoughts on my ROM types ??
Thanks
Marcus
For the Radio part, as long as it's working do NOT touch it!!
For the ROM, you can upgrade to any WM2003 ROM, but read through this forum to get some learned lessons before trying.
Good luck
Sounds good. I remain nervous about upgrading though and will initially endeavour to backup my current ROM to SD.
As mine is a fairly early incarnation i guess the number of improvements is going to be vast, but what are the more significant points that have been successfully developed over the evolution ?
check this http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/products/pocketpcphone/about/2003/default.mspx
Nothing wierd!
There's nothing wrong with that ROM - it's the original version from Xda launch!

Thanks for your help. :shock:
As I said, I know it's an early one but it wasn't in the list and I didn't want to risk an update until I was sure it was ok to do so.
I whacked on the XDA Developers ROM and it took it alright. I guess that a move forward but I've yet to really see anything which is different.
Hi there,
Ever since I started upgrading my Qtek S200, it got reception problems. Incoming calls would occasionally directly go to voicemail while reception is full. I tried different roms. 2.20.21, 2.30.21, 2.47.11 etc. Wouldn't matter. I recently installed the latest full 2.20.7.34 WWE ROM, same problems.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. (I unfortunately got no useful help on previous posts about this issue.)
Regards.
???
Kind of frustrating that alot of people here supposedly have so much technical knowledge about these phones, but no one seems to be able to be of any help...
Could some one please be of any help regarding my previous described problem?
Thanks.
hi, the reason for this problem, seems to be the new radio rom.

mfg s0urce
thanks
Thank you for your reply.
I tried mostly all different roms, just like I said.
I tried searching, but to me it's a maze.

Dennis

Go to the XDA ftp site and look for the Prophet "Radio ROM" alone to "downgrade" your current version. Look for version 2.2.21 or less. I've heard that the problems have been with the higher number ROMs. It is worth a try.
Hi everybody
Thanks for your super site though im a beginner as you ll see !
Im a happy owner of a french sfr s 300_htcp3600 since two or three days now
Ive been wondering through the site about the thing for 2 weeks while waiting for delivery and i m getting quite confused:
1Let me tell you about my beast: rom 1.231632 02/08/07
radio 1.29.00.01
protocole 3262 7020 06H
2 Though i saerched on this very complete site i still dont understand what is rom radio and protocole (!!!)
3 I caught that there are ways of improving the beast by easy but risky ways of tweaking it and that the rom and radio are different things
4 My "problems" are:-- i still got win 98 on my pc so activsinc v 4.2 dont work so i manage through the mini sd card
-- Im not sure i need to upgrade to wm 6
Before tweaking anything im searching the site but still didnt found a clear and precise anwer to these questions
thanks for help
Guys, I will be getting a Wing soon and since I hear a lot of bad things about the original rom, I'd like to update it. The question is, which one? Browsing through the xda forums shows me like three or four different ones and I'm not sure which one to get. Skimming the FAQs, I ran across these:
What ROMS are available for my wing?
Thanks goes to David for the links.
For the Wing, you have these options :
Touch-IT version 1
Touch-IT for The Wing Full and Lite Ed.
Touch-IT version 2
(updatet 14.oct) Touch-It Wing v.2.0 build 17938.0.3.1
PDAVIET v4.17.07.14
TOUCHFLO v4.17.07.14 PDAVIET - For Wing's users only
T-Mobile Stock Rom w/ Touchflo
Here is a TMO Wing Original ROM with TouchFlo added
Which one?!

don´t confuse him - there are so many......
read how to flash and test them. and please read ALL threads from the beginning. to see what problems others had... and how they solved it.
Thank you for the replies! Is it possible for you guys to tell me the most popular one so I can decide from there?
Or
Should I just do the page pool, overclock, and removal of useless programs? After doing those, would they be as fast as the custom ROMs?

It depends on your personal test. Try one. If you don't like it, try another. Etc until you find the one you love.

Sorry papamopps,
I was only trying to give him a newer link since the one from the newbees section only contains older roms.
But you are correct, he needs to spend more time reading to help reduce any possible issues when flashing.

I want my rom to have user input since I love the idea about open source.
Hi there!
Today I've bought an xda exec with the following specs:
Rom: 1.13.82 WWE
Radio: 1.04.02
RAM: 64MB
What is the recommended update to the ROM and Radio I can do?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards!

That's an old O2 ROM. The latest (last!) original XDA EXEC ROM from O2 can be found here.
Then there's an ocean of home-cooked ROMs, mostly WM6.x (you gain A2DP and other features but lose on video calling).

Welcome to Uni forum (gosh, I sound just like Orb2000 now ) Actually, make it ORB3000!!!! There, much better!
While we cannot recommend a particular ROM and Radio combination, your device comes with standard features, so pretty much anything that takes your fancy and is suitable for your device in this section would be perfect for the taking. The first thing you should do is read the Wiki, it contains loads of necessary information to help you identify your device and its features for the upgrade purposes and avoid any mistakes or pitfalls. Then you can familiarize yourself with available ROMs and read user opinions and feedback on their performance and features. Generally the best performers will be found on top of the WM6.1 upgrade section marked as a Sticky. Finally, once you get to know all you need and are ready to upgrade, you will be able to try some out and select the one that has the best combination of features FOR YOU. As far as Radio is concerned, there is no fast and steady rule for a perfect combo, some developers will recommend the Radio to be used with their ROM, some users will suggest what works for them, you can always try various versions (ftp server is your friend) and see which will work best for you.
Best of luck. Enjoy!
Thanks!
I've already read lot's of information on wiki for universal...
Already unlocked the "sim lock" and just updated the radio to the last one (1.18.00). Before the universal, I had an Magician (still have it, and working great with the WM 6.1 by cotulla).
I've read about the G3 and bootloader, but didn't understand how to update the bootloader (my universal have 1.00 version)... What is that for?
Also, I will try the WM6.5 ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529951 because read 'bout that and like it... just one question.. it the 6.1 better than the 6.5? If I change the rom to 6.5 can I change back to any other, inclusive the 6.1 rom?
Thanks!

Yes, sweetie, I know, I made myself sound like some improved, but not perfect model of you, you know - 'better than orb1000, but still not quite the orb3000'!!! My apologies. The only explanation I can offer is tiredness and late hour of my posting. Will amend my post now.

6.1 ROMs are more developed and used, therefore will be more stable and practical in everyday usage. Another thing is available resources, e.g. 6.5 ROMs tend to be on resource-hungry side, therefore those of us with standard 64Mb machines will not get as much free RAM or speed in some cases available to run our favorite programs as those with devices upgraded to 128Mb. You can try 6.5, of course, just note the above points. And of course you will be able to downgrade to other 6.1 or shipped ROMs.
