Typhoon ROM

Sorry to bother but is there any (english) WM10 ROM existing right now? (expept wm2005)
Does the french orange rom include english (t9 etc..)?
Else, can somebody tell me which is the lates i-mate sp3 ROM existing? (i have 1.5.33.11)
Please provide a link for the Rom if you have one..
Cheers!

just got some info a new build of wm 2005 has been on the net...
OS 5.1.29 (Build 14728.0.0.0) this will be great again to try it out...

Here you got the lastest from Orange. It starts in Dutch by default, but you can select english on it.
http://dl1.rapidshare.de/files/3122224/52123840/RUU_1.02_OrangeNL_v4.2.3.3_Ship.exe
Is a official release, so i think this link is legal.
Cheers.

Orange has it own WM10 rom in english:
http://www.orange.co.uk/c500patch/RUU_1.02_OrangeUK_v4.2.1.1_Ship.exe

Where can I find the new WM2005 build? Does it work on the Typoon?

wm5 will work on the typhoon, it is not worth the upgrade. too many problems if you want to go back to 2003se. I would stick with what you have until you either see a non beta official upgrade or you buy a device with it on there. wm5 has made my life a living hell. i am stuck with it, can not get back to any version of 2003se at all beause i did not back up the old rom correctly. nbftools has been a start of understanding the parts of rom and the upgrade packages but dont upgrade to wm5

I don't see any reason to downgrade from WM5 on the Typhoon. It is at least as stable as WM2K3se but quite faster.

Spanish ROM?
Does anyone knows if there is a version of WM 5.0 available in Spanish?
Thanks.

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/

Looks legit to me

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.

thanx for the reply. so is the rom that i've downloaded newer than the one that i hvae. Beacuse a few posts above it says that the Rom is the same as the ones in UK Vario's. So just wanted to make sure i wasnt updating my vario with the same Rom as i downloaded. if that makes sense.

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
Jim

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

what AKU does my XDA Exec have?

Hello
Can you guys tell me how to find out which AKU does my xda exec have?
i checked in the about and it says windows mobile verion 5.0 OS 5.1.1700 (build 14354.0.1.1)

Based from what you posted, your AKU version is 1.1 found at the very end of the "BUILD" numbers. I think it is time for you to upgrade soon or you will be left alone in the stone age. LOL

thanks for the reply
so my AKU is determined by these numbers "14354.0.1.1"?
i am on O2, should i go to the O2 website and download the latest AKU?

One clarification though, you can't upgrade just the AKU version. You have to upgrade the entire ROM. Unless you know how to dissect the package ROMs.
The AKU version is the last 2 digits. So it is definitely time for you to upgrade.
I think O2 only released an updated ROM with only AKU2 support the last time I tried it. All I can remember was it has radio 1.11.00 (which sucks here in New Jersey) so I used Orange's Radio 1.13.00 which is newer and definitely better. O2's official release has no A2DP stereo support, so I did not use this ROM.
I already tried all the ROMs that are available here in this forum, if you want speed and stability with the latest AKU 3.2 and A2DP support. Try JWright's Modified ROM. You won't be disappointed.
Instructions for upgrading: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=269118
JWright's ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279258
Good Luck.

i gess the radio is the UMTS/GPRS protocol stack, does an update mean i will lose any applicatrions already installed?
how did jwright manage to piece together a ROM?

If you are just going to upgrade the radio then you won't loose your installed applications. But always perform a backup to be safe.
I don't know how he manage to add the new features. You will have to ask him for that.

does installing a ROM give you the option if installing sections of the ROM?

No JWright's ROM installer is designed to be directly installed on an IMate Universal. That is why I posted the instructions on how to upgrade, so you have to extract the files from the .exe file provided by JWright, then use the MaUpgradeNOID Tool to install it in a non IMate device.
My instructions from the above link is complete. 3 files you have to know (.nbf files), are listed there. Taking one off the list will retain whatever ROM version you currently have on your device.

thanks dude

Flashing a new ROM

Hi!
I`m new to this scene and quite a newb. I bought my MDA Pro (as far as i know, it`s equal to the Universal) yesterday from a friend and i`ve already unlocked it.
Now i`ve stumbled across this great forum. There are many ROMS on this page, and, to tell the truth, i don`t have a clue about the whole stuff...
Could anyone be so kind and tell me, which ROM is the "best"? I would like to use a stable ROM, that`s properly working with Bluetooth (because of my GPS Mouse and BT Headset) and, of course, WLAN. And it should work a bit faster than the original ROM, if possible.
And... what`s the difference between the Mobile Windows 5 and 6? I´ve read something about issues on the Bluetooth functionality?
Edit: Currently i have the Radio 0.0.0 Rom (or something in that way) on my Universal. Do i have to update that Radio ROM thing too?
Thanks a lot for the answers
Chris

Ok... Now i`ve tried two different FWs on my universal.
the Qtek Firmware and a FW that`s called Jasjar after i read about its benefits...
Both ROMs won`t work with my Provider... I can find some Providers like A1, T-Mobile and ONE but 3 (Hutchinson 3G or something like that) won`t show up...
Does anyone know this problem? Or can you tell me, which Custom ROM is the "best"?

To be honest, I've tried them all, and at this point I am tired of changing. You only have 2 choices anyway, so here are my experiences:
1st: IF you are looking for an Official WM5 ROM that supports AKU2 and A2DP, stick to this 2 only, because they are the most stable and fully functional, even VIDEO CALLS:
1) QTEK ROM 1.30.77
2) TMobile NL ROM 1.30.115
2nd: IF you are looking for Cooked WM6 ROMs (ALL WITH NONFUNCTIONAL VIDEO CALLS), there are alot of them, but here are the important ones to always try:
1) Dark Force ROM
2) JWright's ROM
3) PDAViet's Modification of Dark Force ROM
4) Helmi's ROM (either his release or through the kitchen)
5) Laurentius26 ROM, cooked from Helmi's kitchen.
6) Grayme's ROM, cooked from Helmi's kitchen.
Personally, I am using the TMobile ROM. I am tired of trying ROMs. I have not enjoyed my Universal for months, because I keep looking for the perfect ROM. Guess what? It all depends on what you prefer.
As for the WM6 ROMs. I prefer PDAViet's Modified Dark Force ROM or any Dark Force ROM. Why? It lacks the FREEZE bug after a soft reset. JWright was able to address the issue, but his ROM do sometimes hang after a soft reset. But, as I said, it all depends on what you prefer.

Considering above factors I too agree that for months I am not very happy with wm6 since it got out. Loads of problems, and not a single one is perfect.
So I guess I am gonna downgrade to WM5.
Since I have a Imate Jasjar it would be AKU3.3 of Jwright which was steady or if you could suggest which one.
at least I will be able to use my mac with missing sync and video call is there too.

If you are looking for a stable JWright ROM with VIDEO CALL functions. Look for JWright's AKU 3.2 ROM. It has 31MB free Main Memory after soft reset, but the problem is: IT IS NOT GOOD IN MEMORY HANDLING after you install apps. I could not pinpoint a specific app, because I tried installing different apps after a hard reset, and I always ended up with a memory leak. You can try, you might be lucky and not have the memory leak.
Jwright did not release a WM5 AKU3.3 only AKU3.2.....Look at the very end of his thread, I posted a link for all to download.

Sorry, I have no link for Helmi's 3.3 nor 3.5. I believe I preferred Helmi's 3.3 than 3.5 better. I could not remember as that was about 6 months ago already. I am definitely sure I did not like his 3.5 release though.

Thanks for the answers!

@cktlcmd: I guess the JWright ROM wouldn`t be the best choice for me. If it`s true, what you say about the memoryhandling. I want to use TOMTOM with the Universal, so i can finally get rid of my old PDA.
Oh, and you recommend the danish T-Mobile ROM.. Which language is used for this rom? Could be a problem since I only speak english and german I`ve already tried the austrian (original) T-Mobile ROM (Yes, I´m from Austria ^^) which hasn`t worked with my Provider too. But the Colors of this ROM are disgusting and the ROM is only AKU 2.0. (It`s working well, but the speed is quite moderate without any tweaks)
It`s sad, that you are discontent with your Universal. All in all it looks quite formidable to me. If there wasn`t the problem with my Provider. I`ve called the hotline today, and they told me, that it may have something to do with the UMTS functionality of my SIMCard. Tommorow I`ll go to the ProviderShop and change the SIMCard. I hope this will work.
P.S.: Could you tell me the difference between the RadioRoms? There are so many of them. Are they country related or are they all (essentialy) the same?

Stable ROM(s)

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?

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?
