Hi,
I'm confused with the mass of information and complicated procedures I found here. :?
I got a HTC Magician here in Switzerland by Orange (known as SPV M500)
Operator version is: 6.06.5.164
ROM version: 1.06.00 WWE
Radio Version: 1.05.10
Protocol version 1337.39
ExtROM version: 1.06.164 WWE
I surely would like to improve the performance and especially the internal' memory by applying some upgrade.
Could a nice person guide me toward best possible solutions, please?
hi....

Thanks; I checked this link, but except some valuable information, I found the whole thing even more tough to understand. I'm not an engineer, I'm just looking for a helping hand.
So I reiterate. Can anyone answer my question?
I'll have a go:
Upgrade your ROM. Yours is about 1.06, current is 1.12 (or 1.13? Not much differnce).
Ensure there is a language version the same as yours, and then upgrade. That's a complicated enough procedure, but follow the instructions carefully provided with the ROMs and you'll be ok.
The upgrade for more memory, is the BigStorage ROM hack. This will replace the area on your phone known as "Extended Memory", and convert it into more useful "Storage" that you can use. Basically, your phone gains 20mb of usable space. I've written an ENORMOUS post about this here (near the bottom of the screen)
To do BigStorage, you should use a tool floating around on the board that will patch ANY rom to BigStorage. That way, you can hack your own ROM for this. This is important because the first 400bytes or so of your ROM are unique to you, and you want to keep that. So I recommend:
1. Backup your PPC with Sprite backup or similar.
2. Upgrade your ROM to 1.12 (public sources or from the XDA Developers FTP site).
3. Make a backup of your ROM (optional, but advised).
4. Apply the BigStorage ROM hack.
You may be able to skip 4 if you can find the ROM you want at (2) already hacked. This is likely. But whatever you do, follow the instructions provided carefully. There are a couple of errors that are SUPPOSED to come up in the procedure. Read the instructions and you'll know what's supposed to happen.
Phew. It takes some learning, but you'll get there.

Hi Vijay,
You're great, many many thanks!! I assume I got a tough way to go. So I'll do it slowly so as to avoid mistakes.
My device' language is English, so no prob to upgrade with English. Now I guess I'll have to install manually the GPRS and WAP' parameters after upgrading, given the ROM does not come from my operator, isnt'it?
Orange M500 Upgrade
Hello. I too am thinking about upgrading my Orange M500 from 1.06.00 to the latest ROM. I have an Orange UK version of the phone. But 2 problems:
1. I have trawled all sites I can think of (including this one) and can't find an appropriate upgrade file anywhere - is anyone able to post a link?
2. I can't find anywhere that tells me what the advantages of upgrading are! Anyone fancy listing them?
Thanks!

Same here, I could not find information on what is improved (or not) with any of the existing ROM upgrades.
Surely they must be UP, but still it's strange there's no comment.
vijay555,
I am also fairly new with updating roms and such but I did manage to complete an update with the help of this amazing site and all of you guys out there. Your knowledge and advice has been wonderful and I thank all of you. Now, here is my question. I have a TMobile MDA from Germany I believe but with ROM ver 1.12.00WWE
Rom date 05/28/05
Radio ver 1.13.00
Potoc ver 1337.43
ExtRom ver 1.12.128 WWE
I have wanted to try the bigstorage rom but in reading all the posts and helpers I feel it is too much for me to copy to SD and yada yada yada. Am I understanding you correctly in assuming that in the xda FTP I would find a pre made bigstorage rom that I could upgrade onto my unit. I understand that I would probably have to re upgrade my radio unless there was a BS rom that had the latest radio in it. Would I be able to ask you that if I am right in assuming this do you know which of the roms I would use in the FTP site to give me that pre made BSrom and which "make" would or should I use(such as O2, orange) I line in Victoria, BC, Canada but I dont think that affects what "make" I should use, or does it? Sorry this is so long winded and I thank you in advance for your help.

Hello from australia guys!
I have a JAMin, with this version ROM:
ROM: 2.13.9.23 WWE
Radio: 1_02.20.21
ExtROM: 2.13.9.122
Just wondering if this one is newer : JAMin_WWE_213923_2139123_022021_ship.zip
Cheers
Chris
Oh, and the rom i have installed currently is a imate rom, designed for australian customers
the one you have is
I have a JAMin, with this version ROM:
ROM: 2.13.9.23 WWE
Radio: 1_02.20.21
ExtROM: 2.13.9.122
the one your asking about is
ROM: 2.13.9.23 WWE
Radio: 1_02.20.21
ExtROM: 2.13.9.123
so almost exactly the same exept the extROM is a bit newer.
I don't have any inside info but I'm kinda expecting a new rom from imate for Jamin, there are updates floating around.
thanks for the reply, does the newer ext rom mean anything
cheers

I have the last version but upgraded from the shipping vesion so I could activate the a2dp .
i have fiddled a bit but have not broken it.
I am now not too keen to play as it takes a bit to restore my settings/ programmes etc.
I haven't looked here for a while and nothing seems to have changed much

Have you managed to get A2DP working with the latest ROM from the i-mate website (the one question starting this thread was about)? As you rightly point out it is a bit of a hassle to do the flash, and I don't think I can be bothered untill the upgrade includes A2DP... Cheers

AFAIK, the newest ROM is a Dopod ROM 215 available at the XDA ftp site. Like you, I didn't want to reinstall apps and re-setup all settings, so I just did this radio ROM upgrade which is also at the XDA ftp site, it doesn't require a hard reset, it just changes the radio ROM. PDAMobiz_Prophet_G3_RadioRom_v2.30.21.exe.
There is a G4 version, if that applies to you.
I finally got my hands on the WWE version of the Swedish ROM that's been available for a couple of days. (The one lvsw used for his latest upgrade?)
It's now uploading to the ftp..
Finished uploading.
You can find it here:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_S200_2.20.7.34_2.47.21_2.20.7.114_WWE.zip
Nice
Did you get it from the Qtek site ?
I don't think it's old.
He talking about a WWE version !
Emailed them since I'm swedish, but bought an english version, but the only updates I could get were in Swedish.
This made them post it to the qtek.se site, so yes it's from their site..

Great stuff ! thanks !
Could I ask you for a favour ?
I'm looking for a ROM which includes an IPL (version 2.15 or 2.20) I've only found one ROM so far (the dutch one on the FTP site) that contains an IPL version (old 2.10) could you ask the qtek.se site if they have an ROM containing and IPL update ?
It would help me building a complete update ROM
Is this for G3 or G4?

- Decompress and run de exe file. Don't close your grey installing window.
- Locate the just created temporary directory, something like:
C:\Documents and settings\username\local config\temp\rarXX , or pftxx or the like (look by time/date, it's, something created one minute before your current time)
- Copy the full directory and contents to somewhere else in your PC.
- Close the still opened grey window
- get ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe from the forum, and copy to the directory you just moved to your pc
- from this "new" directory you copied in your PC, execute ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe
It worked for me. Good Luck
Another question...
The extended rom of this rom is only swedish specifiq or does it have other mobile carriers defenitions from other countries????
Upgrade succesful
For those of you that are uncertain about this new ROM. The installation did go fine, and with Sprite upgrade program I did not loose any files or programs in the process. Stable, and I have my Qtek splashscreen back!!
Please note that since not all S200's are S200's, I had to use the NoID utility to upgrade.

Hi,
I've created another ROM for the Prophet
This is based from the new S200 Qtek WWE ROM (thx mwiberg)

This ROM contains the Qtek S200 AKU 2.2 OS (2.20.7.34 WWE)
This ROM contains my own stripped version of the Qtek ExtRom (2.20.7.114)
This ROM has a changed CID (now 11111111) (This needs testing on G4)
This ROM has a standard page pool of 12MB
My ExtRom:
A2DP_Patch.cab
AutoRun.exe
Cert_SPCS.CAB
Config.txt
MP_Customization_Prophet_Qtek_WWE_051205.CAB
MP_CVSDcpl_20060220.cab
MP_mHub_WWE_060124-2.CAB
MP_MMSAutoDisconnect_060106.CAB

lvsw has the AKU 2.3 ROM (base pdamobiz rom but stripped the "junk" )
This ROM is AKU 2.2 (basicly the official shipped version but the qtek custo stuff taken out of the ExtRom)
Try both, and pick the one you like, my other beta ROM also has AKU 2.3 however I'm still working on cleaning out the ROM.
I hope this helps....

Thanx Jesterz... I have read the site you gave before. It just lists the different AKUs. What I meant was: the difference between the OS, not only the AKUs.
There are diff AKUs for the 2.15.13.27 ROMs. I am currently using PDAMobiz 2.15.13.27 (AKU 2.3). My phone was shipped with the 2.15.13.27 (AKU 1.0? can't remember) The official Dopod ROM update is 2.15.13.27 (AKU2.15 - I think).
This S200 is OS 2.20.7.34 WWE (AKU 2.2). So, we got a lower AKU, but a higher OS.
BTW Jesterz, is this ROM the same as mwiberg's @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=283245? The difference being you have taken out the qtek stuff out of extrom?
Hi in between the camera goes blurd.. i am using xda neo,, need to restart the mobile to make it og.

Of course this new rom probably doesn't contain any new upgrades to the phone than already known/listed on this forum.. but you never know
EDIT: As I tought: this ROM (the ENG-version) already exists for a while; it's quite old actually..
> it's just translated to dutch and posted on smartmobility.nl, so that it's official.
So it's nothing new and certainly no WM6-update like some people thought!

jammer
perhaps just an updated ext rom?
Could you all stop downloading the rom? My d/l speed is down to 2Kb/s
Just kidding tho...
It's probably the same rom as the Swedish one only with radio rom 2.61.21...

How can I update my O2 Xda(UK) to the new ROM? The update progress starts when opening the downloaded files, but whit in a minute, I get the error invalid vendor id[294]. current ROM is a 2.15.x
thanx in advance!
try one of the CID unlock things (search the forum)... It provides you with all the files necessary to upgrade, except the nb.nfk (or something like that), which is in the rom itself. This is a bypass to the vendor lock....
Qtek S200 Upgrade - English Ver.
Upgraded my phone with the latest ROM release. My phone works much, much better now and it’s more stable than before.
A Major improvement, I use to suffer from phone suddenly switching it self off. Or when on charge with USB cable it would not come alive after disconnecting the cable. Highly recommending this upgrade!
