Who wants a ready cooked Aisa ROM?

If someone can upload the Aisa ROM to the FTP and post me a link, of especially the autoconfig, I'll get a version for those wanting the 1.04 radio with the 192 extended rom.
Also let me know what is wanted in the rom out of the original stuff.....
As I've never used this ROM I don't know what is and isn't needed. A lot of it will be the same as the European ROM but there are significant differences with some files.
I'll give it a few days and have it here by next weekend at the latest.
I know a lot will have already done this however there are a load who don't know and this will help them out so those who have done it, your input will be appreciated by many.
Thanks in advance,
Pug

hi pug, how are you? I had cooked it before the camera fixed released. The autoconfig i took from 192 ext rom. Here the link, much more can be fix. Thanks

p/s: any idea about collecting/making donation so that can buy Alpine device for buzz the master.......thats only the greatest way to archive WM5/Others for Alpine.
Thanks again

oops.
Sorry Clustered didn't mean to stand on your toes there. Must have missed that one somehow.
Will have a look at it and at least sort the camera out on it for you.

thats fine pug, I was learning how to cook rom so that I tried to combine yours one with the Asia autoconfig but after the camera fix update released, I didn't update. Anyway thanks very much pug, I had learnt damn much from you,bal666,buzz,vijay dan many more. Thanks again everyone....

Dead Link, I need new roms with autoconfig too.

http://www.klstore.com/mael/Alpine_Ext-1.11.171_Radio-1.04_Asia_Camera_Fixed.rar

Hi all, I'm very new here.. Got my XDAIIi last December. Been looking around here for days now, and I am very interested in this "cooked" Asia Rom, which I assume would work with my XDAIIi here in Malaysia.
I really have no complaints with my system so far, but would like to know what does the "cooked" ROM does to my system? What are the significant differences? Whats wrong with the camera anyway? Well i never expected anything much from its camera, but interesting to know that now it can be better!
I've read in many posts that I should really back up everything I have before performing any upgrade which would essentially be a hard reset, correct me if I am wrong, i cant backup programs right? I would need to reinstall them after the upgrade right?
I did some full backup before, is that what I need to do before upgrade? I seriously cant lose any of my calender, contacts, notes, tasks, emails, sms....
Please advise. Probably my questions are too simple, didnt see them in any of the posts
I'm really sorry for being such a newbie

Before you replied, I had seen this file in the holding directory and downloaded and already done flashing with it.
Misleading filename. Does not have the autoconfig files in the Asia ROM.
Device Info still the old 1.11.163 not 171 as labelled.
The nbk file is same size and same date as of the PUG's 163 camera patch with O2crapstuff removed.

dude,
it was based on pug rom and I added some Asia Autoconfig. I just edit the Extended ROM. If you wish to change the version number to anything that you like, use a registry editor and go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\3RDVERSION and change the MSYSTEM value to whatever you like.

Thanks, your updated ROMS now worked, at least the autoconfig utility pop-up during the hard-reset.
This is a very good ROM for me. It would be better if someone also incorporate the O2 Connect (Asia) in the Ext ROM.

xdaIIi best rom
Helo Pug,
I am not an expert in this area. I have currently the french rom which I find not very stable... I am planning to switch to this new rom 1.11.162 1.04. I obviously dont need the O2 stuff. There is apparently a patch to correct the crappy camera.
So when I look into the folder your are mentionning which rom should I download?
Some of them are modified, updated, cooked, baked...
Also, after the upgrade, should I configurate anything related to the telephone/country operator?
I am a bit lost, could you please help?
Many thanks
Sayborg

Ok, now why isn't this a sticky?

Oh, great. Thank pug for soon respond. I've just try the last and feel good.

Hi @Pug!
Is it totally remove O2 Active UI in my PPC? If like that, I will trying now. Thanks

Phuong: don't what you want. If you browse Pug's directory, you must find that there are two version:
+ one is keepping as much as original from O2 (of course, adding radio and bluetooth profile)
+ one with extended rom (pug call it stripped).
If you don't want O2 Active UI and insist on using original rom, you can choose Corporation and code is 0506. You must know that Pug have posted 2 plugins of O2 (battery and time) for today screen.
Have fun.

Backup and restore
Just a quick question...
If you perform a backup using ActiveSync then do an upgrade with one of Pugs Roms, having completed the upgrade is it possible to apply the restore from ActiveSync to reinstate all the setting/contacts etc you previously had?
Tom

yup yup! better using Sprite Backup....

Backups
OK
So I avoid ActiveSync and use Sprite, hate to be a pain an' all, anyone got link to hand for Sprite?
You may well be able to solve another issue for me here...
Am I right in guessing that if you are changing between ROMS for a similar OS on the same device that backups are OK, but if you are changing ROMS for a different OS the device basically becomes a so different backups are no use?
Tom

Query on Device Info
Evening folks
Just completed the update to Pugs 162 ROM, third from the list at the top.
I used Sprite to backup before I started, update went without issue, then used Sprite to restore afterwards.
The only thing that puzzled me was when I checked the Device Information screen I see:
ROM Version 1.11.00 WWE
Radio Verson 1.04.00
ExtROM Version 1.11.112 WWE
Is this correct, kind of expected to see162 in there somewhere, has the restore from Sprite sent me partially back again?
Tom

hi,
If you wish to change the version number yourself, use a registry editor and go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\3RDVERSION and change the MSYSTEM value to whatever you like.
thanks

OK, so I take it from your reply that the revisions are correct for a successful update? I don't care if it is simply displaying the wrong number.
Being the first time I had upgraded and restored data afterwards I was worried in case the restore had possibly returned any thing to the my original ROM state.
Tom

Restoring files after a RoM upgrade is a waste of time as all you do is replace new files with old, you're better off just copying files you want to keep to your SD card and backing up your contacts.

Ah the Man himself!
Thanks for your work chap.
OK, so if I do quick hard reset, that'll return me to your ROM as installed then I can just install the stuff I require, do a swift sync of contacts etc from Outlook and I'll be cooking on gas?
One small thing I discovered on the way to work this morning, the phone works fine on the handset, but although it dials and appeas 'in call' through the BT headset, I can't hear anything nor can the other party hear me. I did notice some....data noise (ahh the days of listening to modems).... when the BT headset opens a communication.
Tom

Tom,
What version of ROM are yu currently using, as found to my horror that the .169 version sucks with connection to Bluetooth devices, even the ones O2 recommend....
Have found the only stable version for bluetooth connectivity is .162... , albeit a step backwards....
God bless o2....

God something O2 certainly!
I'm using Pugs 162 from the top of this thread (the 3rd one without the O2 junk in it, but with the Bluetooth and Camera changes)
Seems to be working fine so far.
I meant to post a follow up regarding my Bluetooth problem, I think I might have failed to read the screen properly and chosen the High Quality rather than headset otpion.

Q : Which is The Lastest ROM for Magician ?

I wanna renew the ROM in my Magician, i looked into the xda-ftp but theres a lot version over there. Which of them is the official and all-in-one one ? The ROM version in my device now is 1.12.00 WWE and the new one should be similar characteristics with this one. Thanx for your help.

Hi, I'm also looking for the same...

And here's what I found: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=342042#342042.
Check the forum "Magician Upgrading" for more info on the topic.

1.13 for ROM and RADIO
look at my signature, i believe i have the latest rom of magician

Thank u for your interest Erwinsie, but by the help of Prerna i solved this problem and reinstalled the ROM.

By the way, I still haven't taken time to upgrade mine. Could you tell what the upgrade changed for you? Do you now have 1.13?

Yes i upgraded to 11300_550_11200 , its very nice , i mean no difference than the old one but its working like a clock, by the way it was a Qtek ROM and after i begin to use the device i realized that the ROM had Clearvue application package inside, it was a nice surprise for me. I installed it the classic way , namely non BigStorage. It was very easy to do, i can advise you to do.

It is indeed a whole lot easier to not BigStorage ROMs, but note that you can still have ClearVue Suite (or any Extended_ROM software that came with the ROM) so long as you back up the Extended_ROM before BigStoraging it. Then afterwards you can manually copy the Extended_ROM files back to your Magician and install them - hence you end up with the same thing as a non-BigStorage Magician + the bonus 20MB Storage.

Long time reader, first time poster - Best upgrade path?

Hi there;
I've had my K-Jam for about a year now, purchased used.
IPL 2.16
SPL 2.16
GSM 02.07.10
OS 2.16.9.1
I would like to completely wipe / re-install everything on this phone. What is the best way to proceed?
I would like the phone to be feature rich, but also quick.
It is def sim unlocked, I'm not sure about CID lock though.
Thanks!

Also, I'd love to run WM6, but don't want to suffer poor performance.

First, take a backup of where you are so you can get back to this point if you don't like where you end up Just use something like spb backup or similar. ALso you may want to put PIM Backup on your phone now and get a good backup of your stuff that way. Then you can restore onto WM6 with this same program (you can NOT restore from spb backup (or similar tools) from wm5 to wm6, or really from one rom to another rom for that matter due to conflicts with the registry, differences in teh PIM database, etc).
Second: Read and follow this thread for flashing and pointers to CID Unlocking your device (if you aren't sure, then just do it so you are sure )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
Third: Decide what custom rom you want to move to. If you want WM6, then currently I'd recommend XPlore 1.1 (Fast and stable). (NBD gets good remarks, and the current Faria Vanilla WM6 Beta I'm running is excellent, but not available yet). Also the Faria WM6 "the real thing" is supposed to be good and comes with lots of stuff built in (XPlore is a vanilla/clean rom so you add what you want).
If you want a good WM5 that is stable and loaded then try Faria AKU 3.3 or the Molski/Faria AKU 3.3 Crossbow themed one.
REmember that with most custom roms (Faria ones tend to be the exception) you will not have GPRS setup when you flash it, so you need to get those settings from your carrier. Same with MMS. Most carrier support sites provides cabs or instructions on how to setup GRPS and MMS.
Good luck and have fun!

Thanks for the reply, very helpful.
Will I notice any performance differences running WM6 Vs. WM5 ?
Also, what are the recommendations on upgrading the Radio ROM?
Thanks!

Overall I find WM6 faster and more responsive than WM5. But then I'm also running the phone overclocked more with BatteryStatus, so maybe that would have lessened the difference I saw (had I ran BatteryStatus on WM5).
Also, what are the recommendations on upgrading the Radio ROM?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Good question. It seems with WM6 there are issues with some carriers and the radios. I'm on Cingular and find that I can't use any of the radios above 2.19 TMo UK one on the ftp site here. The newer radios cause me to miss calls and sms. Others on T-Mobile (US and Europe) are running the newer radios (2.61, 2.69) and having no issues. But overall most seem to agree 2.19 is the most reliable (but not the best at signal performance )
A few people have had so much problems with WM6 and radios they've went back to Wm5 due to it. For me on 2.19, I have had no missed calls or SMS so I'm fine with that setup (and I get good reception at my house and even in some spotty areas its not much different than when I had the stock Cingular 2.25 rom and radio). Overall I'm happy with WM6 and don't have a reason to move back to WM5.

Thanks again for a great reply.
I'm in the process of getting some back-up software on there... I've downloaded PPCPimBackupV1.5 and SPB Backup...
Then I'll do the CID unlock to double check.
Then I plan on trying XPlore 1.1.
Thanks again

Awesome, I just finished flashing XPlore 1.1 thanks for all your help!
Now to load it up with all my apps again.
What's the best way to get GPRS / etc. settings for my provider?

Glad it worked for you. Welcome to the addiction of flashing
For Cingular they have a website with support information and it has all the settings to setup GPRS and MMS. Look at your provider's website for similar.

Try this, unzip it, copy the cab to your device and run it.

auto config
doesn't seem to work on my phone: I installed the CAB, run it, I check the box, but there are no carriers listed in the drop down and when I click OK in the top right corner, it just closes the window.
Any thoughts? This could be a handy tool... if it worked.

I want to upgrade my ppc to WM6 but I want to save my sms and contacts and load them to my ugraded rom.
Whats the way to do this?

I also want to ask, I have repaired my imei 2 years ago.
If I upgrade it to WM6 with a newer rom , could it cause a problem?
My rom version :2.13.9.23 WWE 2/23/06
radio : 02.69.21
protocol : 4.1.13.30
extRom : 2.13.9.123
Another problem is,
I forgot the password of ActiveSync , how can I disable it?

download pimbackup from this site. you can backup your contacts, email & sms with it to put back on once you have flashed.
Suggest you dont backup system data as you cannot restore this safely on a newer os.
look at the good guide on upgrade section, i recomend lazy tools way.
Ur device is not network locked? so u should be ok.
If you ensure u have an original wm5 rom you can always flash this as a backup if flashing to wm6 or 6.1 goes wrong
good luck and welcome to flashing.........

Hi Timmy,
I backup cotacts sms and emails with pimbackup.But I have doubt if WM6,1 wont recognize this backup.
My ppc all unlock, CID etc.
Could the rom updating corrupt imei area?
And the last famous question which rom should I install??

When you upgrade to cooked 6.1 it will more than likely have pimbackup on it, if not install it. You will have no problems restoring ur contacts, email etc (system data & settings is the only problem so dont use it). I have used this method and there was no problem.
Im afraid i cant answer your imei querie, your best asking a mod (l3v3y is very knowledgable )
As for active sync password, do you mean the unlock code to get access to your device when its turned on? Ive not seen active sync with a password before. Im sure a hard resest would get rid of this password, but if your going to flash a rom, dont worry about it, it wont be there after your flash.
Ha Ha.... best rom? famous question..... There are many good roms out there. It is purely personal choice. Do you want a clean one (max speed and free storage) which you can then add the applications you want, or do you want a full one (maybe a little slower but not much) which comes with a lot of apps cooked in. Disadvantage of full rom ? - apps are always being updated and if apps are cooked in you cannot unistall them to then update them. So i guess you have to read up on the roms and decided.
Look for roms from l3v3y, varanusvincent, gullum, dioxda 2, all great chefs and have released many good roms.
Try a few and test them, only one way to find out. U'll find u cant stop flashing and testing when you start.
Read the good guide on upgrading section (the stickys). THis one is good too : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377904.
I assume you are upgrading from wm5 original rom, so spend a few hours reading, belief me its worth it
Have fun!
ps let me know how you get on with imei thing, i want to know too, you can never know too much!!!

Thank you very much Timmymarsh,
I updated the rom to Prophet Diamond and I ll try different roms as you said.
restore my data to new rom.
