Well, at this point, the whole stereo over BT is just about to drive me crazy. Everywhere I have looked for information I have run into dead ends. I am interested in listening to my MP3's and Movies on a Bluetooth headset. From what I have read here and elsewhere, this was not original capabilities of WM5. At some point in time an official ROM update was released by Cingular titled MSFP or AKU2 or something that was supposed to include the A2DP software to stream stereo over BT.
Here is where I get real fuzzy. Do I already have the ROM that has A2DP functionality?
From my device:
ROM version: 2.25.11.1 WWE
ROM date: 5/11/06
Radio version: 02.25.11
Protocol version: 4.1.13.12
ExtROM version: 2.25.11.102
Did the AKU2 update include the A2DP software? If so where can I download said ROM? I have find numerous links to this ROM all over the web that are supposed to link to the update but end in a 404 on HTC's website. The ROM was supposed to be released around 6/19/06 has it just up and disappeared?
Lastly, if my current ROM does not have A2DP and the Cingular update ROM does not have it, do I have to unlock my phone to install one of the custom ROM's found here on the site that does include A2DP?
I have searched this forum up and down and can't find many posts on the subject after June. Sorry if I am an idiot and missed some glaringly simple answer.
AKU 2.3 Roms have A2DP functionality included (T-Mo 2.24 & 2.26) or you can fid the A2DP Cab file and install it on your current Rom.
I think this thread has what you need.
Thanks for the replies guys. It kind of seems that these two messages conflict though. Kyphur suggests the upgrade to AKU 2.3 or using the A2DP cab to install. Blue Streak's link is to a thread that makes it seem that everything that I need is installed and I just need a program to redirect audio to the bluetooth. Which is correct?
A2DP on Cingular 8125
I have a Cingular 8125 with official ROM 2.25. I follow the steps of thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=48502 on page 7 of zaitsman posting and install Tornado_A2DP.zip and my A2DP is working perfect with a pair of logitech stereo headset.

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who posts to this forum - I've been reading it for a month or so now and am constantly impressed with the quality of the knowledge here, especially the developers...
I have a QTEK 1010 bought here in Dubai, UAE, with the following device info:
ROM version: 4.00.01 ENG
ROM date: 05/16/03
Radio version: 3.23.01
Protocol version: 32S54
I have found that browsing using IE feels slower, and have the feeling that this version of the ROM does not work well with the radio version. Does anyone reading this forum live in the UAE? I'd like to upgrade the Radio, but need to know which version works best with Etisalat (our Telco).
Any comments much appreciated!
Thanks, Doms...
P.S. I'm going to upgrade the ROM to 4.00.05 when I get the opportunity
hi, i am from dubai and i am using 4.00.1 from t-mobile and 4.21 from o2, so far everything fine just when i reset the t-mobile logo appears.
do you have bluetooth option in that version and your version was already installed or you upgraded yourself?
Use the o2 Radio Version 4.21 it will work fine...
Thanks for the responses guys. Does this new radio version provide any benefits over the one I have?

1) The QTEK does not support Bluetooth, and there is no way to make it work on a QTEK either.
2) There is no Bluetooth option in any of my menus or settings (I would expect this as my device does not support Bluetooth). Windows PPC2003 is supposed to be able to support Bluetooth, however: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/products/pocketpc/about/2003/bluetooth.mspx
3) I upgraded to the 4.00.05 version of Windows PPC2003 myself using Jeff's ROM Kitchen (thanks Jeff!) http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/ROMkitchen/
Hi, Once i had 4.00.01 and in connection setting i had Bluetooth option but ofcourse it was not working, the other thing is do you know any camera work with SD port of Qtek? i mean something availble in the market.
4.21 is more stable i think.
cheers,
I had some problems when making calls on my QTEK yesterday. While in a voice conversation audible clicking noises can be heard and after about 1 minute of conversation the quality of the call deteriorates until the other party cannot hear me. I'll try upgrading the radio...
I don't know about the camera support using the SD slot in the QTEK. My first instinct would be to say no, it's not possible, but I can't confirm that...
I bought a Qtek 1010 in Dubai Duty Free the other week. I've since upgraded the ROM using ROMkitchen and am delighted with it. One thing I did notice though is that the speakerphone functionality (claimed in the Qtek handbook) doesn't seem to work. I didn't try it before I upgraded so can someone tell me if it works with the native UAE ROM code, and if so does anyone have any idea how I could get it working again?

I own a QTEK in the UAE and here is my share to those asking about OS and Radio updates here:
I upgraded from
ROM version: SER 1.2
Radio version: 3.23.01
To
ROM version: 4.00.10 ENG (T.Mobile Test)
Radio version: 4.21.00 (O2 UK)
Everyting seems to work fine apart from 2 minor issues so far:
Make sure you set your band to 900Europe as the default is 1900North America in phone/tools/options
The signal fades out sometimes but doznt affect the reception
No G signal but GPRS is OK.
GPRS stays connected; have to turn phone off and on to disconnect.
Advice:
Read a lot before you upgrade. This forum has a wealth of information.
Cheers

hi all
I am totally new to all these ROM modifications.
I have just bought a SE HBH 970 and I have the O2 Exec.
I just realised that I am not able to stream music to my BT set on the current O2 ROM.
Went through the website and found that there is actually a way to enable A2DP on exec. Can someone very kindly explain to me how this can be done step by step?
I am quite lost. ... after searching thru web. ....
What do I need to download...
how do i do that etc etc.........
thanks
Jacky
What ROM are you currently running?
Thanks for the prompt response, Dave!
My device info:
ROM Version: 1.30.107 WWE
ROM Date: 04/11/06
Radio version : 1.09.00
Protocol Version : 42.42.P8
Ext ROM Version : 1.30.162WWE
Weird, I thought these ROMs were indeed A2DP-compliant...
Have you tried, once you've paired the HBH, to manually set the stereo profile for your hbh in the Bluetooth management applet ?
By long-tapping on the Sony Ericsson HBH 970 item in the Bluetooth device list, a menu pops up and there should be something that looks like "Stereo headset" or something like that.
do a search for a 'zoki a2dp' cab file, install it and youll have a2dp on your exec
The latest O2 ROM does not contain A2DP, shame to you, O2. What you can try is, flash your ROM with other provider like Qtek, i-mate and etc that are already enable A2DP on their ROM.
Alternative solution is to download Zoki A2DP, may help but I don't know about the result ( as I never try it before )
One experience though, I flashed my O2 exec with Qtek latest ROM, it does pick up the stereo Bluetooth Headset but I've got huge lag when playing music. Sometimes I managed to get it through but most of the time, it does not happily play my music. even I already applied A2DP patch, tried with several ROMs , disable all wireless signals, still got the same result.
Maybe it is just my case, Give it a try, good experience anyways
What's your radio ROM version ?
Well, title is self explaining.
I'm searching to activate AD2P on my Prophet, which has the S200 ROM version 2.15.7.38 FRE
Where can i check if it has or not the AKU2 update?
Which french or english ROM DOES have for sure that update? It's never specified in the name of the ROM file!
I've found such info on this forum somewhere:
_______________________________
The following are the ROMs with A2DP and AKU2 support (Battery icon replaced Time):
****QTEK ROM (latest ROM)
****T-Mobile NL (latest ROM)
****JWright's Modified ROM (latest ROM)
_______________________________
The word "Latest" is not very explaining. Do you know any version number that has AKU2 for sure?
I've tried the famous Tornado_AD2P update (without knowing if i have AKU2), i see now Wireless Stereo as it should when i pait with my headphone but i can't make it route the audio to the headset.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Well, if you mean the ROM installed on your PDA then there is no need for guessing. Go to Settings->System->About. The build is in the form nnnnn.x.y.z. The "x.y.z" indicates AKU level.
Right now I am running the WM5 emulator and it shows this in the About screen:
Microsoft® Windows Mobile™ Version 5.0
OS 5.1.195 (Build 14847.2.0.0)
So the emulator is running AKU 2.0.
Mobile-review.com has a nice review of WM5 AKU levels.
Hi abubasim,
thanks for the explanation.
It was simple, but if don't know, it's not that obvious.
Nonetheless, i now know that i have AKU2 in my Prophet. I can now search why i can't activate AD2P and other can on their units.
Hi Guys,
I was wondering if there was a way to add A2DP to my existing ROM. That is, I don't want to re-flash, is there a quick way to add A2DP support?
ROM Version: 2.25.11.1. WWE
Try cross flashing to another ROM? As my T-Mobile MDA on the 2.26 ROM has A2DP support. You can also google adding A2DP support to WM5 and will get a good tutorial. I did that on an HTC Apache without A2DP support and it added it so i'm sure it would work on the Wizard as well, though cross flashing a ROM might be easier.
Guys, I have read thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=263745 which provides great info on how to enable stereo Bluetooth support and therefore A2DP but I still have a novice question which I am sure can be answered easily.
Step 1 says: 'The ROM should be updated as latest AKU2 ROM'
Well, my Orange SPV M600 (S200, 818Pro etc) has build OS 5.1.195 (Build 14847.2.0.0) which I assume means AKU 2.0 so, am I meeting the requirement of step 1?
Secondly, if I need to upgrade, what do I upgrade to?
Other info which may help.
Rom version 2.10.1.22 WWE (date 2/16/2006)
Radio version 02.07.20
I need to be careful with what I do here as my M600 is used at work and has company specific software loaded to enable push email and associated security wrappers.
Thanks.
Jonathan
Help please.
Guys, perhaps I can put my request another way.
I have the following spec and want to enable A2DP but I am not sure what I need to upgrade.
OS 5.1.195 (Build 14847.2.0.0)
Rom 2.10.1.22 WWE
Radio Rom 02.07.20
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
you can simply download the file uploaded by Khuanchai in the thread u have given ,...
it is wokring for me succesfully and i also use my mobile for business purpose.
sure it works for any version of prophet...
Thanks for the reply but I have already downloaded the files and updated the registry entries but it made no difference.
I thought that I needed to have a later RadioRom to enable Bluetooth stereo support and A2DP but I don't want to try it unnecessarily as it means removing my works installation because Active sync over USB is disabled. I don't know another way of upgrading the RadioRom without Active sync.
Cheers.
