WM6 radio Rom over WM5 radio Rom - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

hi all,
can anyone help me out with this..
is it possible to install a WM6 radio Rom over a WM5 rom while still retaining the OS as WM5.. the current WM5 Radio Rom that i have with my atom life is not that stable as there are issues with the autoband switching. Would appreciate any input here! thanks!
Regards,
Emanuel

Radio upgrade
What kind of device are u using?

There is no such thing as a WM6 or WM5 radio rom. The radio ROMs are seperate from the operating system (WM6 or WM5). Make sure you use a radio ROM that is made for your device.

hi im using a O2 Atom Life.
SeanFromSoCal,
My o2 WM5 rom has some minor issues with autoband switching while users with WM6 rom for o2 reported no problems with it. so that's why i'm wondering is there anyway to extract whatever files in the WM6 and flash it over my current phone/WM5 rom.
Regards,
Emanuel

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.

yes, the build is different. after updating to this rom, it is now 5.1.70 (build 14409.1.1.2) < no AKU2.0 though
i can't upgrade always getting msg itsutils.dll inuse ?

Build change doesn't look very attractive to me coz it might be localization and other minor changes. Still waiting for AKU or other significant changes ;-)))
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?

Difference between 'normal' ROM and 'extended' ROM (s200)?

I am wondering what exactly the difference between the "normal" ROM and "extended" ROM - if there is any difference at all?
To be more precise, if a ROM is unlocked by the seller, does that automatically mean, that the extended ROM is also unlocked?
Can I flash a ROM with an update if the ROM is unlocked and how does the extended ROM come into play in terms of ROM updates?
This is in regards to the Qtek s200.
Thanks for any advice on this one!

qtek 9100 and upgrading roms

I have a qtek 9100 and i would like to update roms and such. Ive read the wiki thing but am still quite confused.
I have...
ROM 1.1.7.5
radio 01.01.10
extROM 1.1.7.105
I would like to know which would be the best roms to upgrade to. also are there any updates for windows mobile 5.0? im using 5.1.70
Thanks!
Use a straight upgrade to ftp://[email protected]/Wi...digy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
Its an aku2 rom and won't void your warranty
No need to unlock device although if you feel you maybe try a non-qtek rom in the future then cid unlock first. Rom upgrade is wm5 upgrade.
the link doesnt work for me. any other places to get it?
Go here ftp://[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/
goto qtek section and find it there. You must use internet explorer and password is xda
so is that the only thing i should update?? also what program do i use to update? and how did you overclock your 9100?? much appreciated

Updating your rom is a good start.
Recommend you install registry wizard for registry tweaks http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39725&highlight=registry+wizard
Omapclock for overclocking http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=56057
All the best :wink:
what about updating the radio? does updating the rom automoatically do that?

depends on wether the update file was tweaked or not.
one can choose to upgrade any of the ROMs individually. My first try was the radio ROM (not comfortable in messing with other areas ) that someone removed the other ROMs and i got it from the ftp section

Question about the radio-only upgrades...

Hi all,
I currently have the HTC Tytn with the original ROM on it. I'm on Cingular's network, and am having the problem where the call either gets dropped completely or temporarily when the phone tries to "hand off" 3G to 2G. Are any of the radio-only upgrades that are on the ftp supposed to address this issue? I'm not looking to change the ROM. I'm currently on radio verion 1.03
Thanks in advance!
SP
I have a TyTn on Cingular as well. I upgraded to 1.20 radio ROM and haven't experienced any problems you're having moving to/from 3G areas.
Hi sf,
Thanks for the reply... are you also still on the original Tytn ROM as well? (for everything else but the radio...)
yes, i'm on the original HTC ROM, just upgraded the radio.
The best combination is the original HTC ROM + 1.16 RadioROM from what I have heard around ..
Great, thanks a ton guys. I'll give it a whirl.

I'm having much better battery performance with the HTC ROM and the 1.20 radio than I did with the 1.16 radio.
Goesto11, did you have any installation problems during or after the install with the 1.20 radio? I read a couple other posts where some additional tweaks needed to be made afterwards, but I'm thinking now that that was with the Cingular ROM.
Thanks,
SP
1.20 Radio was actually from the latest iMate ROM from what I remember .. might want to verify ..
latest Cingular RadioROM was 1.16 ..
Thanks GJ.

Nope, no installation problems at all (follow the directions and you should be fine).

I am wondering the same thing. I upgraded, but I haven't driven through any of the troubled areas yet. I guess we'll see on the drive home.
I'll install it today and report on it asap. A particular area that I go through on the way home from work attempts the hand off a good 80% of the time.
Oh yeah, one more (stupid) question...
If I install the 1.20 radio, then later end up doing a hard reset... after the hard-reset, will I end up with the original HTC radio, or the updated one?
Good question .. You will then always have an updated RadioROM .. even after a hard reset
Ok cool, thanks. I'm glad it was a relatively not-too-stupid question

Yeah, I did this yesterday. Your updated Radio ROM sticks with the device.
But what about installing an entirely new ROM; this overwrites the radio ROM right?

Yes, this is correct. A "normal/standard" ROM update will overwrite the System ROM, the Extended ROM, and the Radio ROM.
I can't seem to dowload a good file to unzip. It says "not a valid pocketpc app".
The ROM updates need to be run from a WinXP PC with an ActiveSync/USB connection to the Hermes...
and remember, Flashing can be a dangerous business, even if you know what you're doing... use at your own risk!

Radio Upgrade with WM6

Hi everyone, just upgraded to WM6 like many of you. Many thanks to helmi_c and his team
I'm wondering if the radio needs to be upgraded as mine is probably 3year + old.
I'm currently running radio 1.12.00
I live in Hong Kong and use Smartone Vodaphone
I thoguht it be a great idea to post what radio you are using and where your from so that everyone will know which radio suits their country's network provider best.
thanks for the help in advance,
Kind regards,
Jason
btw i would like to add that non of the hyperlinks from the wiki work in terms of the radio and bluetooth upgrade.
i'd really appriciate it if someone would upload them elsewhere.
thanks in advance,
alright well at least could some one tell me if they did/did not upgrade radio and bluetooth stack after flashing?
also the ext.rom FTP hyperlinks dont work.
could some one please upload the radio and ext rom unlock to somewhere else?
i would really appriciate it.
kind regards,

For Jason.
I'm in the Netherlands using Vodafone.
thanks for the replies guys,
could someone please upload the 2 files required to flash radio 1.15 somewhere else?
the ftp hyperlinks dont work on the wiki.

Link in the wiki is working fine for me, but here is an other link: http://www.data-hosting.eu/v/5060843/BA_RRPT_Radio_11500.exe
thank you for that link.
dont i need 'MaUpgradeUt_noID.ZIP' as well?
------
i just downloaded the file, its a exe.
do i just run it and not follow the instructions from the wiki? because the wiki says there are 2 files, i'm guessing this is old?
furthermore is there a need to update the bluetooth stack radio?
thanks in advance for replies and help.
kind regards
thanks for the upload again.
however, i get the error 120 country ID error.
it says that the rom is not designed to work with my device and i should check the vendors website :S
it is cause i've updated to windows mobile 6?
does anyone know how to get around this?
any help will be highly appriciated.
kind regards

I was talking about the error message, not the Rom itself.
is there any mistake? How can we use Hermes radion on BA? Pls clarify.....
It is inpossible to use Hermes radio on BA because of the difrend hardware, if you somehow manage to flash hermes radio to BA you may loose the gsm module forever
Don't be stupid
