upgrading my rom

hi ive just got my xda2i and ive been told i might be able to upgrade my rom to make it faster ,any ideas ,
this is my device information,
rom version: 1.10.00 wwe
rom date: 12/24/04
radio version: 1.00.00
protocol version: 1337.39
extrom version: 1.10.124 wwe
i'd be grateful for any information ,

if thats the o2 one it looks up to date.
There is a new firmware coming out, possibly next week for o2 devices which will include the blackberry client, and also a fix for the battery life.
Im currently testing the new version before its release.
you can download official updates from here

thx noodleman could u keep me informed ,i need all the help i can .

o2 Rom version

My xda information are as follows:
ROM version: 1.11.00 WWE
ROM date: 01/27/05
Radio version: 1.00.00
Protocol version: 1337.39
ExtROM version: 1.11.162 WWE
Why is it that vodafone qtek is using a radio version of 1.03, protocol version of 1337.42 and ExtROM version of 1.11.162 WWE.
Does it means that o2 is not having the latest version? I tried downloading the latest version from my-xda.com and it seems mine was the latest. So where did u guys download the latest from?

do a search there is a update on this site ,in a bit of a rush so can't at the mo

i know there are updates here, but where were those upgrades from? Since o2 itself did not provide such version.
So does it means that my o2 rom uk can function well in asian countries too?

It was a ROM I mashed together. Have a look at this thread, there's the links you need off it.

Impossible to upgrade extended rom. The process stop for one rom at 29% and for other at 35%. Here, after a long wait, I have to reset the Alpine. When the ugrading process stoped at 35% I can not use my Alpine cause at boot it try to run the programs fo extended rom that are corrupted. When stoped at 29% after rese I can run my ALPINE which in device information shows extend rom "blank".
Anyone had this annoying problem? Now I have ram space ocupied by extended rom files that don't work?
I want to get rid of these unuseful files but system don't permit me to delete them. Or I want to install/upgrade a extended rom. Any Help???
Thank you

Tytn Radio Problems

hi folks!
i have a problem using my tytn. when i move around to areas with dead spots my mobile seems to crash. well, not the tytn, but the radio rom.
situation:
im talkin to someone with 3-5 bars. hangin up, and switch to standby mode.
then i put it in my pocket (jeans, or whatsoever)..
moving down in the cellar with heavy walls.
Now the tytn iss in standby. when i try to phone it (from another mobile) its just unreachable. so, i switch it on, and i see 3 or 5 bars.
when im trying to make a call it does not work. some seconds later the tytn recognizes that a "netsearch" will be great.
after that it is reachable.
strange thing, just because if i dont touch it, it is unreachable for days..
any suggestions?
i have
Rom version: 1.35.255.2
Radio version: 1.18.00.10
ext. Rom: 1.35.255.102
it is almost useless, because i'm never shure if its reachable or not.
thanks for helping me.

well, updated to 1.20 (radio rom) and unfortunately.. no changes..
my herm100 is not goin to recognize that there is no radio tower.
... and if there's a new... connect to a new one...
my next step is a downgrade to 1.16
i read many of all the threads in this forum and 1.16 seems to be the most stable.
tomorrow i can tell u more of my progresses.

I have posted this elsewhere but would repeat this over here.
I had exactly the same problem with my new Jasjam (S/N Ht647XXX).
The ROM originally (factory installed) when I received my Jasjam is detailed below:-
ROM Version: 1.31.305.2
ROM Date: 8th September 2006
Radio Version: 1.21.31.10
Protocol Version: 32.53.7020.01H
Ext ROM Version: 1.31.305.104
Bootloader Version:1.06
I then went to the i-mate site and downloaded the latest ROM available which is detailed below:-
ROM Version: 1.20.305.3
ROM Date: 21st July 2006
Radio Version: 1.07.03.10
Protocol Version: 32.41.1010.02H
Ext ROM Version: 1.20.305.104
Bootloader Version:1.04
This change of ROM from the one which was supplied with my jasjam to the one available on the i-mate site has totally resolved my problem.
It is rather strange that the ROM available on the i-mate site which the site says is the latest ROM available is actually older than the one which came installed on my jasjam. The only logical reason could be that i-mate realized that the ROM being shipped with their new devices has a problem and have therefore not made it available on their site.

What next? Pls help...

Hi guys!
This is where I am right now. I've flashed my MDA Vario.. it's now SIM and CID unlocked. I have the lastest T-Mobile ROM in.
Here is my question. Where do I go from here? I mean, should I make a full backup (how to do this) before putting a new ROM in? And which ROM is the best (fast and stable)?
Please help me out!
T-Mobile MDA Vario
ROM version: 2.21.2.6 WWE
ROM date: 3/9/06
Radio version: 02.19.11
Protocol ver.: 4.1.13.09
ExtROM ver.: 2.21.2.109
IPL: 2.21
SPL: 2.21

A full backup would not really help if you want to flash your device with a new ROM.
Your second question is more a question of likes and dislikes:
I decided for myself to stick with the latest official ROM from T-Mobile (in my case AKU3.3 TMO Germany). The neat design of USER-made WM6 ROMs were just not worth the trouble and problems I got after 'upgrading'.
However,
this is my personal opinion and there are hundreds of users out there which are happely using the WM6.
Regarding to the threads here FARIA's ROM is highly recommended! Check out the WIZARD WM6 UPGRADE section here in the forum ...

Thank you for your opinion.
I would be happy to hear more suggestions...

The phone is not ready. Wait 15 seconds and try again.

but after alot of experimenting i have found a solution. i thought i'd post this to help anyone else out with the same problem!
I bought an M600 on orange PAYG however on inserting my orange contract sim i can use the phone but cannot send SMS messages or adjust phone settings, if i attempt to all i get is the message above.
having spoken to orange about this several times it turns out to be a sim compatibility issue. orange however do not support sim swapping all they can do is send out sims compatible with the handset they sent you! i.e the N73 i got on upgrade.
So my solution, i paid imei-check to CID unlock the phone, i actually already unlocked the phone using lockiwiz but that will only remove the simlock on a G4 and AFAIK imei-check are the only people to unlock the CID.
once unlocked i backed up the shipped rom to SD as described in the prophet WIKI (just in case i needed to restore it to orange settings) and then upgraded the rom.
i tried several shipped roms and eventually found this rom the
RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_?QtekWWE_Ship.exe

to not only work but also be in english. its a great rom, very basic without all the junk orange supply as standard
I don't really know why this has solved my problem i think its something to do with the radio rom but whatever it is it works perfectly!
below is my phones new info, if someone with the orange Rom could post the same I'd be interested to compare the versions.
ROM version: 2.20.7.34 WWE
ROM date: 7/10/06
Radio version: 02.47.21
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.24
ExtROM version: 2.20.7.114
I hope this helps someone out there!

for discussion purposes
That sounds weird why it works like that since my understanding of unlocking CID was merely so that one could install different ROMs. Someone pls correct me if I'm wrong here.

it is!!!! i needed to update the rom to get it to work! as above i stated that i changed from the orange rom to the qtek one, hence CID needs to be unlocked
So my solution, i paid imei-check to CID unlock the phone, i actually already unlocked the phone using lockiwiz but that will only remove the simlock on a G4 and AFAIK imei-check are the only people to unlock the CID.

Afaik, if you remove IPL/SPL from the ROM (There should be tutorials somewhere around here on how to do it) you don't have to CID unlock your phone.

I would really like to try this! I am always getting the same error so often whenever I send a new sms. I have an i-mate JAMin, prophet touch X ipl&spl 2.20, gsm 2.69. I can't find the ROM you're talking about in the xda-developer's ftp. Can you please upload it? Thank you so much!

its on the wiki page
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_ROMs

Okay If I installed this, do I have to reinstall wm6 and then my current ROM again(Prophet Touch X)?

yes i expect so, i'm no expert, thats just the way i solved the problem on mine!
i think it has to do with the radio rom version

You can update the radio ROM without having to change the normal ROM.

I am currently using v2.69. Does it mean I have to downgrade or test other versions? How about you? What version are you using guys?

hey as i stated, i'm not entirely sure what eaxctly it was that the replacement rom fixed but it did fix it!
Are you guys using orange M600s? whats your rom info?
mine was:
ROM version: 2.20.7.34 WWE
ROM date: 7/10/06
Radio version: 02.47.21
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.24
ExtROM version: 2.20.7.114
unfortunately i had my phone stolen so i can't help much more than that.

Okay I have fixed mine. I tried all versions but only version 2.30.21 of Radio ROM only fixed my problem. Thanks guys for all the help.

I had the same issues, updated my M600 to the above ROM and it now works perfectly

wow - does that mean you guys are using a 3g sim in a orange m600??
if so - what is a radio rom (and what does it replace?)
can you run these radio roms with wm6.1? or does it mean going back to 5?
sorry for all the questions i am despirate to get my phone working!!

I have a similar problem, going to try the rom you recommended but thought I'd post my pre-rom stats.

Protocol Version: 4.1.13.24
