two questions about XDA upgrade - MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading

Hi all.
first question:
last year I've upgraded my O2 XDA to Radio stack ver.4.21.00 and to 4.00.05 ENG ROM version (MS PocketPC 4.20.1081 Build 13100)
Is there a new upgrade version available?
second question:
do you know EDGE technology (evolution of GPRS)?
TIM, italian cell phone operator, has just start EDGE connections with mobile phone NOKIA 6230
EDGE runs at 200k/bit (GPRS only 57k/bits...)
Is there a patch for XDA radio stack?
thanks all.
Marco

last edge were up somebody said it could only be supported by new hardware and that went for all gsm phones
edge support were something they had to be born with no software could change that
about latest xda1 rom then

the version nr siemens call it A.XX for some reason but they are all 2003
2. can i install 4.01.16 ENG on my O2 XDA with TIM (italian cell phone operator)?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yes unless they found some way to block it that i've never heard about
as a rule a xda is seem as a normal gsm phone by the phone company i doubt they could even tell unless they looked at the imei nr what type of phone you are using
3. if a cook a ROM WITHOUT Add Software, can i use the Rom left free to install manually other softwares in second times?
Click to expand...

rom means read only so it can only be writen to when you flash the whole rom at once so no use it or it's wasted
4. if i cook a ROM WITH Add Software, can i upgrade these softwares with newest versions?

to tell you the truth i'm not sure i suppose a file placed in the rom cant be overwriten by a newer file but a new install but i'm not sure

Qtek 1010 software for O2 XDA?

I have for a long time been looking for software updates for my O2 XDA (I have ROM 3.02.00 ENG and radio version 4.01), but with no luck.
Now I have noticed new software for free download for the Qtek 1010, apparently ROM 3.16.13 ENG and radio 3.19.01 (should this be 4.19.01?)
Is it possible to use these 2 files to update the software?
As my O2 XDA is unlocked, I wonder whether updating the ROM and the radio version will have any effect on the unlock, i.e. could the phone change to locked?
Best regards

Where have you found these files!?!? I have a Qtek, but haven't heard anything about no upgrade. You bet I'm interested!
/b
Can be found for download on these sites:
http://www.idedata.no/
http://www.klingtech.dk/produkter/Qtek-1010.php
I am still curious whether this upgrade can be used for O2 XDA.
Anyone for a test?
Best regards
Allan
It's working! I just upgrade the radio rom from 4.16 to 3.19.01.
Sound more like a downgrade then a upgrade. :lol:
Did you also did the winCe rom upgrade?
Don't look at the first number in the OS or radio versions, it denotes region. 4.16 is an older version than 3.19.
Was the upgrade done on a Qtek 1010 or a XDA?

They only say, somthing about sending the OS via eMail. It seems, that there now downloads left ...
Has somebody got that Download and is willing to share it with us ??
Thanks
The image can be downloaded on the first site...
however, I have just reflashed my XDA/MDA with the older irish ROM, it has plenty more features than this one, GPRS standby and ISDN call type.
Don't trust the version numbers

Think this might be more usefull http://www.idedata.no/programmer/ce316upgrade.zip For CE
And for the radio

Please note you must first upgrade the CE version then the Radio...upgrading the radio only can cause problems

You are wrong, the Radio update goes first and patches WinCE.
btw. don't use the update, really, use the Ireland O2 update ROM.
Strange file after updating
I have upgraded my Qtek using
http://qtek.dk/software/upgrades/316-CE-update.zip
http://qtek.dk/software/upgrades/Radioupgrade.zip
I performed all the instructions correctly and my pocket pc now has the
upgrade. However, in the remove programs, there is a file called HTC RSUupgrde.
I dont know I don't have to remove this or should it actually be there on my pocket pc? What happens if lets say I have to do a
hard reset and I lose this file?
Any suggestions? :?:

Windows Mobile 2003 Release date announced!!!!!!

T-Mobile Germany has annouced the release date for the Windows Mobile 2003 ROM for the XDA I as December 29th. Hopefully T-Mobile USA will announce something similar today. :roll:
http://www.t-mobile.de/mda/software/1,5193,7482-_,00.html
But this is only for German Model, isn't it?
hmmmm ... and how about the language version ?!
to me seems like only German is to be available ... too bad
Release date is now beginning January
Hope there will be an update....
Regards
Stefan
aren't we talking about the German version of WM2003 ..
announce/release date or in general WM2003 official release for T-Mobile ??

http://www.t-mobile.com/promos/ppc2003/
this link was working few weeks ago with information about update but now seems to be dead.... somebody spoke with customer service and they said "in the middle of February" so we will see...
for me 4.01.00 ENG work fine
ps. pozdrawiam rodaczke
well, maybe there has been some minor problems ...
with that ROM release so they've decided to stop distributing for a while, hard to say ...
I presume as official release is hopefully coming with a short notice stick with current version I have

ps. rowniez witam i pozdrawiam
somebody wrote that 4.01.00 ENG is only good to US tmobile ppc owners because of radio ... I mean only for PW10B1 units ...
I did reflash mine yesterday with this version and I like it so far .... signal indicator doesn't look normal because I dont have signal but my ppc recives calls normally ....
mine XDA is also PW10B1 .... heh
now I know for sure that I have US version, thank you for the tip ...
dziekuje i pozdrawiam,

ps. out of curiosity, have you already get my private message ???
HI Monika,
Where did you get this T-Mobile WM2003 ROM?
Is it English version?
Can it be used in Asia?
Many thanks,

hello, I got it from http://www.yorch.net/ but I use an US version of XDA, for me it's hard to say whether it suits Asian hardware version, my rough guess is that Radio Stack version shall be different .... unfrtunately I have never came across the Asian hardware version
but before making any upgrades read that forum, e.g.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4630
and also the other threads just to double check
regards, monika
Tks Monika,
But I see that you are using WM2003 T-mobile ROM 4.00.21.
From Yorch, 4.00.21 is only nbf file which is not nb1 so that I can't use the SD method for upgrading.
Any hint?

i have PW10A1 and i installed the v4.01.00 tmobile update i just downloaded an cooked rom from yroches kitchen then unzipped it all and replaced the nbf file from the v4.01 over the cooked rom nbf and flashes it that way works fine on english netowrks and i still have 900/1800 mhz just what ever you do do not go into phone options and click on the band tab if you do you will loose 1800mhz bank and then be on 900/1900 if you do this load up the bootloader click the calendar button and click on gsm 900/1800 and itll say reset or some crap do this then softreset and youll have 900/1800 back again but dont click on the band tab or youll have to do this.
gaz
p.s ive found it to be quite stable so far but seems to run kinda slower then v4.00.11 but it has improved features
hi
few questions
I have US tmobile Pocket PC Phone so it is type B so I flashed with no problem with 4.01.00 (RUUv2.04b_CEv4.01.00wwe_VS_Ozone_Test_(Integrate_Radio_6.24.01).exe) so I think that this soft will work fine with Monika's XDA if it is American....
Monika your XDA is from AT&T ? or TMobile ?
Is it ok to use it with European PW10A1 ?
gaz do you have exactly same ROM as I have ? (check my signature)
and this problem with band tab is only one ?
do you see TMobile logo when U do a soft reset?
Anybody use this soft ver. in Europe?
i use 4.01.00 with asian radio stack 4.21.01 with no problem
i used flash method when upgrading the rom
i unzip the exe file, took the .nbf file and write it to my sd card using OSImageTool and boot my xda with the SD card... 5 minutes later my XDA is running WM2003 with the latest ROM version :lol:
for asian users, do not open the band tab... if you do that, you have to go to bootloader and choose band 900/1800 to make your xda work again

Hi Toshiro,
I am a bit confused. The 4.00.21 nbf file from Yorch cannot be used by OSImageTool since I tried that before and confirmed by someone else in this forum. He said only nb1 file can be used for SD method.
Also, where did you get this 4.01.00 ROM?
Thanks v much.

Use XDArit.exe insted of the OSImageTool and you can write it to an SD card. www.yorch.net has 2 versions. if the newer one doesn't work, try the older one. I also found I have to unplug my cradle from my computer to get XDArit to work properly.

But that's integrated with the us radio which is not suitable for me.

How can I restore my system to the original states

Hello,
I know that I should'nt have do that, but I need your help.
I upgrade my MDA on the following state :
Rom : 4.01.16 Eng
RSU : 4.21.00
For buisness reson I have to go back to the original state.
Rom : 3.18.01 ENG
RSU : 3.23.00
Unfortunatly I didn't do a Backup
I have acces to some MDA with the originale rom and rsu
My question is how to go back to the originale state, without destroying the other mda with the originale rom? via bootloader?
Thanks in advance
The ROM part is easy, you can get the original 3.18 ENG from the carrier devices site http://www.carrierdevices.com.au/downloads.php?region=Asia Pacific
The RSU might be your nightmare especially that you have 4.21 which showed to be the pain for most people here ... anyway, in the same site you will find RSU 3.25 for Qtek ... it's almost the same as 3.23.
Good luck
Biso007 Thanks for you answer,
I look at your link but it seems to be the Qteck version, I really need the officiale t-mobile version.
Is there any way to save the originale one in one of the other phone that I have access and restore to my one?
Biso: Is the rom found in http://www.carrierdevices.com.au/downloads.php?region=Asia Pacific WM2003? What radio version it contain? Is it compatible with PW10B1 device?
I'm now running T-Mobile ROM 4.01.16 ENG, Radio 6.25.02. I'm plannning to change the Radio to be compatible with Asia-Pacific and in the US (I've been going to Asia and back to the States for business, so I want a device compatible with both Asia-Pacific and US). Thanks
ok I Download the old version on a new phone via OSimagetool to my sd card and put it on my device. working perfectly.
So now I just have to downgrade the radio stack to 3.23.00, where I can find it and how to downgrade?
I download the file here
http://www.t-mobile.at/business/mobiles_arbeiten/MDA/SWupdates/
Looks like it's working, (at least I have the right number at startup)
the only problems that I had it's that rhe rsupgrade was lauch every time I startup, I had to delete the file rsupgrade on startup folder. now it's working like before.
Thanks a lot.
By the way, does it exist a solution in mda to copy contact name to the sim card?

No, it's PPC2002 and the RSU is 3.25 for PW10A devices (900/1800). I know it coz it was on my device before I replace the mother board with a B-type one.
If you are going to use 900 MHs network in Asia you can keep your current RSU ... I have it on my device and my network is 900/1800 ... other than this you better use 2 phones or get a new XDA II

Dealing with the SIM book is a matter of s/w and the device type (XDA or MDA or ... ) has nothing to do with it. You can find many freeware s/w to deal with the SIM entries.
ok thanks a lot, do you just have the name of one of this freeware?

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?
rgoodwin Can You post all ROM using 'mtty' & 'psdread'?

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 ?

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?

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.
thanks for the reply
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.
thanks for the reply
jwright's ROM works with all makes?
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
