Hi, I'm new here. I just bought a secandhand Dopod 838pro(this is my first PDA phone, never use a PDA phone before), want to ask some advice/opinion, my system is:

Radio: 1.47.00.10
Protocol: 32.80.7020.20H
WM6 CE OS 5.2.1437(Build 17944.0.3.1)
The question is what version of WM6 or WM6.1, Radio should I update? Did I need to update SPL and IPL? What I need is stability and longer battery life and I also using alot the hardware keyboard. Besides chinese star which chinese input is better/stable and where can I get a good eng-chinese voice dictionary.
Thank you.

Make sure you do as it says...
You may want to unlock your sim options ( make work with all sims ) REad this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665
Then its up to you to decide what is the rom for you... DON'T ask everyone as you will get a flood of everyone telling you whats best for them. Do some research... Search for PDAViet, Pays, Schapps, Binky11, Faria, CRC's, Shadow........ The list goes on.
Welcome and Happy Flashing.....

I just bought it last night, But I have read all this forum about upgrading the Rom and everything, Since I'm a new member. What upgrade should I do and do I have to upgrade my MDA Compact?
Thank you in advance..
well you should get the 1.11 rom if you dont have it now. and if you do just do the kksbigstarage 27 mb hack found on this forum. I did the origional anansky big storage hack and I love it. but that one has the qteck rom. I have an Imate Jam, and I really like the qteck rom. but if you want to keep your origional rom then do the kks.
oh and if you didnt know what those rom upgrades do they clear out your extended rom allowing you to use it for writable flash storage.
Curiousity
chakra, currently my
ROM version 1.06.00 WWE
Radio version 1.05.00
ExtROM version 1.06.110 WWE
So u have any idea what all this mean? am I in a latest update? Pls guide me..
Btw is there any drawback on my MDA ?
Thank you.. :lol:
hartunnoo,
You ROM version 1.06.00. I would recommend upgrading to 1.11.00 WWE (World Wide English). If you upgrade, your EXT ROM and RADIO will be updated too.
Use the 'search' facility in this forum to get all the details on upgrading your ROM. If you need further info just ask. Someone here will always be available to help you. If you're not experienced with this stuff, and have any doubts about something ask first ;-)

Hello,
I have just recieved my new qtek s200 with this french rom:
ROM version: 2.9.7.33 FRE
ROM date: 14/2/06
Radio version: 02.07.20
Protocol version: 413.1.03
ext ROM version: 2.9.7.116
Can i upgrade to this qtek WWE rom (RUU_Prophet_2090724_20907106_020720_QtekWWE_Ship)
without unlocking CID first?
Will the new ROM improve the camera function?
thx!
piXie
I have exactly the same version and I am interrested too !
Can you explain me what is WWE and CID?
Thanks a lot !
hi Gazous,
WWE is just... World Wide English ;-) instead of french you will have English.
CID is the vendor lock so you can't install other vendors roms, only roms from qtek in my case.
anyway still waiting for an answer....lol...thats ok i got plenty of time ;-)
cheers
piXie
v2.9.7.116 FR available
Version V2.9.7.116 FR is available on www.smart-phones.be if your have a valid EMEI.
I've tried to install it but after 1%, my pc automatically shutdown.
After that, my QTEK didn't work.

Another person tried to update and same result...

Use NoVendorID reflashing utility and have a ROM of your choice... Search the forum for details...
thx myplate ;-)
my question is still unanswered tho...
Can I install a qtek WWE rom instead of a qtek french rom (my current rom) without unlocking CID or worring that my s200 will die on me?
After all, both roms come from qtek but since one is french version and the other is world wide english version...i'm afraid it will not be compatible...(plz dont tell me i'm a paranoid) lol
Thx again
piXie
omg walker! just saw your post....was it meant for me??
novendorid....is needed only if a different vendor rom is used right??
thx
piXie
ok Walker, lets see if i understood correctly:
1. I have a s200 with a french rom, and i want to change to WWE rom.
2. I downloaded the NoVendorID rom version for the dopod, and extracted it.
3. Should i just run the ROmUpdateUtility and it will install the dopod rom?
4. If yes, what about CID unlocking?? will I be able to install other rom versions later on?
appriciate your help
cheers
piXie
Don't hesitate to read the forum. All the answers are here...
Be sure, all the Prophets are sure identical in hardware. The only difference is the vendor ID and counry ID in the flash. You will newer damage your device, even running ROM for other vendor. My Qtek S200 now has Dopod 2.15 ROM. No problem! You can use WWE or FRA or RUS or CHT ROM and it will work. However, ROM utility won't reflash if it see the vendor is digfferent. One of the good gays has a bit fixed it to make it less strict.
If you afraid of wolves - never go to the forest. If you afraid of consequences - just do nothing forever. If you want to got WWE - just reflash with WWE ROM. Or go to the service and ask the guys to do it for you.
Try first the WWE ROM itself, if it fails with VendorID error - it's possible, run the same with NoVendorID utility. The only one thing to care about - the right ROM. If you try a ROM for 9100 - you will have a problem, but still recoverable, AFAIK. If you do something really stupid, your device becomes a pretty good black toy for kids, just like a real, but don't works ))))
Have a good luck!
lol Walker...you'r always two steps a head of me...
Hi Walker !
your story about the bad wolfes convinced me to go ahead and install ;-)
anyway, it works fine.
thanks a lot
take care

Enjoy! And have a good luck!
Hello all
I have just purchased an Imate Jamin , saying goodbye to my treo 600.
The rom details on my Imate Jamin are as follows :
Rom Version: 2.13.9.23 WWE
Rom date : 2/23/06
Radio Version: 1_02.20.21
Protocol Version : 4.1.13.9
Ext. Rom Ver : 2.13.9.123
IPL 2.13.0001
SPL 2.13.0001
GSM 2.20.21
Is there any rom update available for my device?
Also, there is a significant lag when I press click to take photo. Is there any way of improving/fixing this.
I would also like to know how to uninstall programs like Voice dialer and extended rom ?
Thanks
Mike Keller
Hi,
first of all I would like to recommend the WIKI - Most important thinks about your new PPC could be found there.
There are some newer Roms at the FTP-Server.
And finally: Use the search function of the forum, most questions are answered yet.
Have a lot of fun with your new prophet.
Ciao
Help to avoid problems in upgrade
I'm sorry , I know my question could be considered " another question made without a previous search .." but I spent some hours to try to understand without been able to summarize what is really the situation; so , please , take few second to read here:
a)I have a JAMin updated only one time from IMATE official site without any problem
b) actual rom is :
Rom Version: 2.13.9.23 WWE
Rom date : 2/23/06
Radio Version: 1_02.20.21
Protocol Version : 4.1.13.9
Ext. Rom Ver : 2.13.9.123
c) I consider my current configuration as "enough stable" and I use :
calender/contact/ IEexplorer/ilauncher/SBSH weather/pocket stocks/batterystatus(overclock to 286)/tomtom/spb backup/and a lot of other nice applications.
d)I do not want to spend a lot of time recovering critical configurations and/or soft/hard resetting the device many times ; I'm not so expert ( as this question confirm !) to manage rom problems on my device, I have to use also for work and I cannot have problems.
with this description , I would ask to the experts here what they suggest me to do in term of opportunity to upgrade and wich kind of risk could I take.
I'm ready to restart installation of described programs , but I would not manage it too many times...
last questions ; could I only obtain A2DP stereo bluetooth performance remaining with my current ROM situation ? are there other important improvement to take into account ??
As you can imagine , any comment / suggestion / etc is very aprreciated.
Thanks in advance
....thanks again for any answer...!!

As far as the ROM goes, I had the same ROM as you and I switched to the Dopod ROM (see on my signature). I think it works better and faster than the iMate ROM. There is a new "official" Qtek ROM available now. It is suppose to be a good one too. Check the ftp site.
thanks to matterhorn , but I need to know what I have to do to install a rom not " imate" ; do I need particular software to do it? must I unlock or "prepare" my jamin to accept the rom you use , for example?
thanks
please...any other answer ?
thanks a lot !!!!
Hi,
I'm a new (and already happy) owner of this fantastic device.
I've bought the VODEFONE 1640 ITA and suddenly upgraded with latest italian I-MATE ROM image.
The new ROM image works well but I find out that the RADIO IMAGE installed (1.9.0.0) it's older than the original (1.14.0.0).
Right now those are the version of my ROM:
Radio Version: 1.09.00
Protocol Version : 42.42.P8
ExtROM Version: 1.30.81 ITA
Considering I'm a dummy, what are the main differences on those versions?
Moreorer anytime I start the phone I get the error message: "I-MATE CONFIGURATOR application is compatibile only with I-MATE devices. It's suggested to disinstall this apps from the device"
Did I do something wrong or it's a common error after a ROM upgrade?
Thank you for your support and long life to the HTC!!!
Pablo
Please finish reading the following links, although this are all WWE ROMS. You can get the language pack from Asukal's thread.

It is 1.09.00, not 1.9.0.0. Radio 1.09.00 is not too bad a Radio, but again it depend on your network in your area. So the only way to find out which is the best, you have to try it out, because different version works for different person.
HTC products seems to be not getting any better as more competitors are coming up with equal and better devices. Although now Universal is still in its own class, but next year there should be some or at least 1 of such product to give us more choice. Anyway read more in this forum and also my 1 year experience using this device and you will find that the mechanical & battery of Universal by HTC really sucks!
Hello ya'all. This is my first post so first of all I'd like to congratulate you for the excellent site and forum !
There is a lot of resource info around here ! Great Job !!!
But unfortunately for some new people getting into this new world of WMobile even what it looks simple to you might be slightly blurred to us.
I bought in France a HTC P3300
IPL 1.12.0001
SPL1.12.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 1.12.00
ROM 1.12.406.1.FRE
RADIO 02.67.90
PROTOCOL 4.1.13.28
ROM EXT V.1.12.406.101
ARTE 100
Of course the WM came in French. Well I am willing to change it to WWEnglish and I've been doing my homework researching and reading, reading, reading through this website. Found the steps to do it thanks to Kleinemeus at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=290241 and found the DOPODAU and LOVE ROMS as well the Extended Rom in the ftp site. As well as I found my P3300 is the same as MDA compact III, XDA Orbit, P800W, Dopod P800 ....
But I still a couple of silly doubts that I gonna ask for you MASTERS your mercy to clarify me with your wisdoom and expertise.
1) After flashing my P3300 with a English ROM will it have all same basic features/programs I have in French like, the radio, tomtom gps, etc ? In other words, doing this is like getting a desktop that came with windows in french and installing a windows in english ?
2) After being successful of flashing the Rom following the steps described in the link above by Kleinmeus how can I upgrade the Extended Rom found at the ftp ?
I really appreciate if someone could help me with these 2 questions.
Thanks in advance !!!
It should work
Be careful when flashing becos many ppl cant get it right.
If you manage to flash it successfully you should have almost the same functionality.
I dnt know abt the ROM.
Is ur phone CID unlocked?If not do it before u change the ROMS.It will be a big disaster if u get stuck in between and u cant do anything.
Yups, you'll have all the basic apps that are part of WM5.
Regarding TomTom or other Commercial GPS applications, these are not part of WM5 package and are installed by supplier, so you'll have to confirm whether the ROM that you are planning to flash has that specific GPS app.
Regardinf Extended ROM, these come as part of ROM that you will plan to flash. Usually people only take some specific apps/patches from other Extended ROM that wasn't part of supplied/flashed ROM (i guess I am right about this)
