Wich is newer and better?
Thanx
G'Day,
I would like to know which device you own? XDA I or XDAII? Cause I think the 4.01.12WWE is only for XDA I. I don't think you can flash the ROM on the XDAII with this since the hardware is a bit different. If you own the XDAII and you wish to do a ROM upgrade, you can consider to upgrade with the 1.72WWE which should give you better battery life and BT option. However, you will void your manufacturer warranty if you are using different ROM to upgrade the device (pretty much what all manufacturers will say :? ).
Cheers!
AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! im going crazy, i cant decide wheter to upgrade my o21.66wwe to 1.72. i don't know wich ia better of this two version (1.66 and 1.72) What application will be remove i i upgarde my o2 1.66 to 1.72?
upgrade or not...., that's all depends on you!!.
back to 'CLASSIC WORD' :
if you happy & satisfy with your rom !!, why do you upgrade????.
you have the latest rom from O2, upgrade to 1.72 official rom (imate or qtek), you will loose 'auto config' program (gprs must be setup manually) and cannot installed 'O2 CONNECT' (afaik).
but if you decide to upgrade 1.72, try this :

or

Somebody knows, whether new official (not beta) version ROM 1.72 for T-Mobile MDA II has appeared?
:?
were all waiting
In the meantime I upgraded to the Qtek 1.72 (at leats Radio & OS) I custom build a Extended Rom that fulfills my needs AND had the NL T-Mobile settings in it
Bluetooth & batterylife are the main benefits
English Customization
I have an I-Mate that I just received 8/3, and have successfully flashed to ROM version 1.72 from Club I-Mate. The question I have goes towards a 2nd, ~6 meg file that I was also supposed to flash on to my I-Mate. Does anyone know what THAT update is supposed to do? I've posted the same question in the Club I-Mate forums, but have not received an answer after two or three days.
The reason I am asking is because my I-Mate seems to be working just fine without the 2nd update, though it does seem to be going through charges quickly, and its radio (phone) reception is poorer that the original XDA I Was using.
Thanks for any information you can provide.
If i upgrade my 02 xda II 1.66WWE to o2 XDA II v1.72WWE, can i back it to 1.66wwe again? if i had reset do you think it will back to 1.66wwe? thanks i need an asap response i will upgrade it now. thanks
Sorry not a reply to your question.
I was wondering wher you downloaded teh o2 XDA II v1.72WWE rom.
I have the 1.66 ROM at the moment
ooppsssss
I think i made a mistake. Look my xda II is o2 the rom version is 1.66WWE, but when i went to the www.myxda.com where the official o2 xda II website i saw their new rom update i saw this:
*************************
For English ROM
ROM version: 1.60.00 WWE
Radio version: 1.08.00
ExtROM version: 1.60.44
MMS Client: 1.6.0.8
*************************
Thats their lates rom the 1.60.00 but why mine is 1.66WWE. My xda II is o2? why? Do you think my rom is i-mate and the o2 is only the device, maybe the device is o2 and the rom is i-mate? wich means i can upgrade my 1.66 to 1.72 without any problem or any o2 data loses, right?
you have a newest 1.66 rom for asian, but this rom is not for public consumption.
if you upgrade to 1.72 rom, you will loose original rom & VOID GUARANTEE.
think about that!!!!!!
hi 004,
i think you posted a lot of threads like this, well im not a moderaor, so ok lang. hehehe.
with regards to your question, here goes.
I think you just got your unit, its from smart or globe right, from their promo, then if it is, its version O2 1.66 WWE, its the latest release from O2 Asia, although this version is not so good and stable version, you might encounter a lot of hard resets along the way, so use BACKUP, any will do, ACTIVESYNC BACKUP will suffuce.
for now, you need to know that:
1. O2 ASIA 1.60 WWE is the most stable version but lacks some upgrades.
2. O2 ASIA 1.66 WWE is complete but not particularly stable.
3. O2 ASIA 1.72 WWE does not exist YET, 1.72 is available for Imate or T-mobile versions but not for O2 YET.
O2 1.72 WWE is desirable however there is no upgrade yet from O2 (www.myxda.com), if you want, install the 1.72 of either Imate or T-mobile, but IF you will be encountering problems later, SMART or GLOBE will not be able to help you and IT is DIFFICULT to revert back to 1.60 or 1.66 O2 version.
So my advise is, IF you dont like the 1.66 O2 version for any reason at all, TRY the O2 1.60 older but better version, just backup your EXT ROM and bring over some files and installers from the 1.66 version that are missing in the 1.60 version.
IF YOU get tired of the 1.60 version, you can always revert back to the 1.66 version by upgrading.
OR you could wait for the 1.72 version from O2 when available.
Maayong Gabii!

Is it okay if i upgrade my 02 XDA II v1.66WWE to iMate 1.72WWE than when the o2 released their o2 1.72WWE can i upgrade it again? or for example i have 1.66 i upgrade it to 1.72 and later on i will upgrade it to 1.88 then 1.90 then 2.00? Thankx Cuz i am planning to upgrade my o2 XDA II v1.66WWE to imate 1.72 and when the o2 1.72 released i will upgrade it again.
Possible or not? any negative if i upgrade it more than one?
Yes,you can..There is no Upgrade number limitation..!
Just a known Country Code Error limitation to change ROM version from one company to another..like I-mate to XDA2,or Q-tek to I-mate..
But it is relatively easy to by-pass
Enjoy your upgrade!
Take a look at my post here - it may help you avoid problems.
if I flash the rom of an O2 Exec with I-mate's,
and i have errors and then flash back to O2 rom.
Will they notice?
Will I auto. lose my warranty ?
Hi
As far as I know, they won't be able to see anything if you reflash to old rom.
I flashed my Blueangel with completely different vendor's update because my vendor is lame... and don't support devices well.
Good luck.
what is the difference between O2 Exec and I-mate's ?
Are you alowed to post which site can get the O2 and I-mates rom from?
which is better? JasJar or Exec
Gadi,
it appears that you know enough on the issue as to preffer to use the
i-mate rom (or at least that's what I gathered).
I am just about to buy one - and I am deliberating between the o2 Exec and the i-mate JasJar -- do you have any recommendations as to which is better to buy, and why.
:!: Also -- do you have any problem operating the device with an Israeli (or any non-UK Sim for that matter) SIM -- OR did you have to unlock it - and if you did, how did you do it.
-Also could you direct me to the i-mate rom.
I will appreciate your answer greatly.
Hag Sameach,
Asaf
Hold on, when you use the imate WWE rom program, which is felt by most to be better, doesn't it overwrite the ext-rom and the radio and the rest, so there is no way, unless you have the equivalent exe file for your original setup, to go back to where you were when you bought it?
An example being I am on t-mob, and they havent released an update to the mda pro yet, so if I use the iMate rom and don't like it, or it bricks my device, then I am stuck until they release one to return the device to life/get it how I want it.
I thought you were doing a proper clean and write to the whole device not just the ext-rom?

Dotan:
As for imate Vs. O2 - The only reason i'd prefer imate is coz
they release more frequent rom updates.
Other than that - the hardware specification is the same (HTC universal).
the software might have been modified to suit o2's requests.
(splash screen, company utils ect.)
So - if i'm buying the phone, it might as well be i-mate's so i dont get all tangeled with warranty B.S...
However - i want to check the claim that the rom flash can be "un-done".
if so - i'd much rather buy an o2 exec that costs bout 100 GBP less..
8)
As for- where to d/l rom updates.. well, after u buy an imate register at www.imate.com and then goto members page.
or - try asking here in the forum, post a topic asking for the latest Jasjar rom!
Behazlacha,
And tell me what u decide to do !
Gadi.
1. Is the i-mate current ROM less buggy?
2. If I flash it to my Exec, will I lose all my current files & settings?
Im going to be using an O2 simcard in it, and I have all the relevant unlock utils etc.
Now Ive downloaded the latest O2 ROM to flash with, but is this the best one to use?
I will be soft resetting before customisation, and opening up the EXT Rom anyway, so not fussed about it being O2 specifically.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Oh, Id like it to be similar to the O2 install, IE a single EXE. Dont really want to mess with memory addresses, umpteen utils and the like etc
THANKS
Got a O2 Exec with the latest O2 ROM on it till two days ago !
The only thing I can say is try Ivan or Helmi's ROMs. They can be set up really safely and easily. The great advantage as well is that your PDA will be a lot quicket to react and the new AKU has really been improved compared to the old one from O2. I mean old like really old, don't support ad2p for example.
None left Im afraid, all the ROMs have been downloaded already m8!
Where can I get the latest O2 ROM from then.
The version I downloaded was v1.13.188
Any other O2 ones newer than that?
Thanks
The rom I have is 1.30.162
Downloadable from http://www.my-xda.com/xdaExecSoftware.jsp
But it's from april 2006. So your probably better of updating to aku 3.x
Trying to update my exec to 3.5 soon.
